representatives were in atten-
dance < for their first MSG
meeting. All departments were
represented with the exception of

Next on the agenda was the
discussion of the Activity Fee and
budget i for the 1981-62 school
year. A motion was made to in-
crease the Activity Fee by $10.00.
The reason for the increase is to
cover the rate of inflation. The
motion was passed.
The individual aspects of the
Activity Budget were looked into.
A motion was made to cut the
Candy Store Services next. The
cost of the Candy Store for this
year was $100 and it only brought
in about one third of that. The mo-
tion was seconded and passed.
There was also much discus-
sion about the $600 allotted for
gifts. The actual amount spent
this year for gifts was $63.00. No
motion was made concerning the
allotted $600 so the funds stands
as is. i M
There was a question whether
or not The Leader newsletter
would remain in the budget. A
motion was made to keep it in.
The motion was passed.
After extensive discussion
about the yearbook, the issue was
tabled until Thursday, May 21.
A member of the Minorities Af-
fairs Club was present at the
meeting. The club asked if they
could be represented in c MSG.
After a short discussion the idea
was accepted.
A motion was also made to
have a separate fund of $1,500 for
conference travelling for SAC.
The motion was passed/
Vice President Mary Baldauf
then gave the SAC report.
Baldauf reminded everyone
about'the Presque Isle picnic
scheduled for this Saturday. Also
on Wednesday, May 21, the elec-
tion for speakers for next year
will be held. The school will
match funds up to $7,500 ^ j
The next motion made was to
have Activities Day on a Satur-
day next year. The motion was
seconded and after some discus-
sion passed.

Communications Department
To Undergo Several Alterations
By Carla Anderson i ^ J
The communications Department will be undergoing many
changes next year.
Dick Garcia will be the head of the communications department
beginning in the fall term of 1981. He explained that, "the com-
munications division now has five major areas of study."
The new majors are Broadcast Journalism, Public Relations,
News/Editorial Journalism, Radio Operations/Programming and
management, and Telecommunications Operations/Programming
and Management. &. i-T , ^^
At a communications department meeting held last Thursday,
Garcia reflected what accomplishments he would like to complete
next year. A newsletter containing information about the com-
munications field will be published monthly. "Any students in-
terested in writing for the newsletter[
are welcome,"
&
commented
Garcia. <"& ' *Wz- ^
Garcia explained he would like to implement a news bureau for
students to "test their talents.*' The news bureau will help to pro-
mote Mercyhurst College and familiarize students with public rela-
tions writing. & -. J* g ^W * Mf
In addition to these changes, Garcia wants to "incorporate com-
edy and drama into the radio station." He added, "many students w

been implied, in order to work out
an unfair edge for Dance
Theatre. The controls over such
conduct by both the student and
the administration are too strong
to allow • it to happen. Indeed
there is much evidence to in-
dicate that dance students are, in
general, not reluctant to express
their concerns or our issues.
There are several other items
in the agreement. They deal
mostly with utilities and with
campus facilities, properties,
equipment, etc. They are un-
complicated and provide advan-
tages to both parties.
With this arrangement, there
are many pluses for the College.
Mercyhurst gains a first-rate in-
structor with many years of ex-
perience as a teacher. Mer-
cyhurst gains the advantage of
having a ' dance company in
residence (something that so
many successful dance programs
across the country have). Our
students benefit directly as well
because they are encouraged to
perform at a higher level when
they come in contact with com-
pany dancers. They also get an
opportunity to perform on a fairly
regular basis infirst-rateproduc-
tions - something which our
students have found very satisfy-
ing and exciting. * [?•%
Having a dance company in
residence is also an excellent
recruiting tool for the College. It
is a sure-fire way of providing
that extra edge for attracting

as members of the dance com-
pany reach College age, more
and more of them will consider

Student Reiterates Opinion
Dear Editor, ^ ^
Vi As the newly acclaimed radical
on campus,-1 would like to res-
pond to the recent letter to the
editor concerning my letter about
the dance department.
Students' views are of utmost
importance and I encourage you
to voice your opinions in any
situation, it gets things done as
was demonstrated recently.
As for the existing situation
which I believe has been blown
out of proportion, I simply stated
what I believed in, and still do. I
have a right to that opinion as do
you as students.'. i
My letter in no way criticized

Clarify Discrepancy

would like to thank Mercyhurst
for its attendance and support of
the Gala Arts Weekend.
We would also like to clarify
one discrepancy concerning the
performance, it involves the
question of Dance Theater of
Erie's involvement in the perfor-
mance. The Senior Class would
like to state that we asked Dance
MAY 22,1981
that many more will follow their
example.
There is also the good publicity
which Mercyhurst gains every
time Dance Theatre promotes its
production on or off campus. It
gives the College additional ex-
posure to potential students. It
will help additionally to build up
in the minds of people in the
region and beyond the image of
Mercyhurst College as a center
for the arts (at least for dance).
As for other complaints in let-
ters to The Merciad, it would be
difficult to deal with the rest of
them one by one. Let me just
mention one more.
The perception that plans for
the senior dance production were
discarded after Mr. Jones arriv-
ed on campus is unfortunate and
quite unfair. Mr. Jones was asked
by me to advise the seniors on
this yearly project- Because of
the early departure of Dr. Saleh
and Mr. Behelmakher, however,
the seniors were unprepared.
They did not have enoughIn the
way of choreography to pull off
such a production. Mr. Jones sug-
gested that they become involved
in the May production if Firebird
(performed this past weekend)
and produced by Dance Theatre.
They would be required to do
very much what they would have
done in their senior production.
All agreed, and the project went
forward - to the satisfaction of the
students. •
not problems to be addressed.
There are. Under the cir-
cumstances, however, many
things have worked out
remarkably well, given the
awkward difficulties that preced-
ed Mr. Jones' assignment as
director of the dance program at
the college.
correspondence received from
the administration in the selec-
tion process. It is a shame that
such dissension resulted within
the dance department because of
a simple letter stating my
opinion. '
In closing. I would simply like
to state that it is incrediDle how
quickly attitudes change over a
minor issue; when previously
many individuals supported one
and her opinions. However, I
know Mercyhurst's Dance
Department will grow and pro-
sper and continue to be the most
creative and expressive depart-
ment on campus.

In Establishing Credit 1. The Official Preppy Handbook, edited by Lisa Birn-

Applying for and getting a job
is probably the foremost concern
of most graduating seniors. But
there is another kind of applica-
tion you should be thinking
about—credit
Why?
Because establishing a credit
rating—like finding a job—is an
important step to financial
independence.
For example, did you know
that in some states you can't rent
a car without a major charge or
credit card? In addition tor a
driver's license, most retailers
require a card for ID before
agreeing to cash a personal
check. With a bank credit card
or charge card you can get ready
cash when you are far from
home. I they can be a • good money
And, a fact of life: having your
first card makes it easier to get
other ones. Other kinds of credit
that let you make major pur-
chases, like a car or home, will
also be easier to get once you
have established a credit rating.
