Soliciting of funds toward the seven
million dollar Capital Fund Drive will
begin by the middle of October, accor-
ding to Mercyhurst College President,
Dr^ William P. Garvey.
'The Mercyhurst family will be the
first donors approached to contribute
1 ^The Capital Campaign is essential to
to the drive/ Garvey said.
The campaign will begin internally,
Garvey stated. The student govern-
ment, faculty and parents of the
students will be asked: to give to the
fund drive Juntil Thanksgiving. Thus,
showing the college's committment to
its own campaign, Garvey commented.
jE The Mercyhurst Board J of Trustees
and Dr. Garvey are working in conjunc-
tion with one another to rai,se approx-
imately four million dollars within the
first year of the Capital Campaign.
Of the projected money to be col-
lected immediately, almost two
million dollars will be used as endow-
ment for financial aid.

Anderson said. i granted $400 to the % Mercyhurst
The 1980 presidential candidate
believes, "a third party! is a harder

Relating his views to an audience of
about 100 people in Zurn Recital Hall
Tuesday night, Anderson said, "I have
no quarrels with two parties. Strong
political parties are a good thing."
As a political activist, Anderson
does not neglect the views of the
other two parties. In fact, he said he is
a supporter of the Mondale-Ferraro
campaign in the upcoming election.
However, Anderson pointed to the
fact thatfneither oflthe two politicial
parties are a majority. f •'?*

College costs on the rise

By Naomi Romanchok
According to a report by the
College Board, college costs
are up six percent this year.
Here at Mercyhurst, the overall
increase was 7.7 percent.
More specifically, tuition rose
7.8 percent, room rose ten
percent (ajtotal cost off$90),
and board rose 4.6 percent.
g The College Board reports
that the average public college
costs increased five percent
while the average private

Considering that over the

averaged $4881. Mercyhurst's
listed tuition is $7280. | *
The report points to various
reasons for the pronounced
increase. Two big factors were
the postponement of building

faculty salary increases. Direc-

Community is finally realizing
that the football program is a

Whatever the case, it sure is
nice to see people, banners,

each victory, especially after
returning from a road game*
The feat which Mercyhurst
College has successfully ac-
complished is phenomenal.
Let's see if the players and the
college can reap the benefits
of some nationwide recogni-
tion with a Division III national
championship. At this point in
time, it looks very possible.
