Lyrics by: John Kander and Fred Ebb for the musical-comedy Cabaret I S.C.S The theme of the 1984-85 Summer Orientation program was Spotlight on Survival (S.O.S.) appropriately enough, for orientation is aimed toward providing the new student with what is needed to survive at Gannon. The students-to-be not only receive their I.D. cards and schedules, but spend three days on campus learning about Gannon and its people. The incoming freshmen were integrated into Gannon's social life first by a tour of the campus. An activities fair exposed them to the various organizations at Gannon. Commuter and resident forums introduced them to concerns dealing with each lifestyle. Lectures on student services such as Campus Ministry, health facilities, athletics and counseling were also provided. Academic concerns were handled when the students met with their deans, as well as during lectures on financial concerns, scheduling and academic services. Socials were a major part of this orientation and allowed the parents and students to mingle with each other and among themselves. The highlights of these events were the student dance with D.J. Joel Miller and the Presque Isle picnic. 1 P 1 ■ mm — ■ — - 10 11 Wti 12 1 t1 S B ||| 13 14 The Old Main Theatre Old Main Theatre Association Monica Lewis, Chairperson Dr. Joseph Scottino, President FflEULTY Accounting Anthropology Biology Chemistry Communications Criminal Justice Earth Science Economics Finance Education Electrical Engineering Engineering Technology -Starring English Fine Arts Foreign Languages Geography Gerontology History Liberal Studies Management Marketing Mental Health Military Science Philosophy Physics Political Science Psychology Radiologic Technology Self-Development Social Work Sociology Theology Mathematics Mechanical Engineering Medical Assistant Directed by: The Administration Lighting Cameras: Conceived by: Ken Klinger Stacey Keegan and Victoria Urban-Win- ton 15 AUTOGRAPHS 16 Dr. Ratal Ablamowicz Mathematics Ms. Lea Austin Dir.

The defending champion Knights, who defeated Philadelphia Textile and Adelphi University en route to the firstever Mid- east Collegiate Conference Tournament Champion- ship, will be up against formidable competition this year. The conference was blessed with four teams that collected twenty or more wins, a might v feat for a first-year conference. LeMoyne, last car's regular season champion, returns three starters from a 20-8 team of a year ago. Philadelphia Textile also returns three starters from a 21-8 squad. Adelphi University, owner of a 20-8 slate and MECC tourney finalist year ago, returns two starters in their attempt to gain the top spot in the conference. St. Michael's will try to rebound from a 7-19 record with the return of two starters and a host of talented new recruits. St. John Fisher returns three starters and will be looking to better their 1983-84 mark of 8-20.

A Taste cf GANNON THEATER The Gannon Theater began its season with a fresh start. First of all, the theater welcomed a new directro: Bill Doan, an alumnus of Ganon University returned to the campus to fill that position. His first production here was The Apple Tree. Perhaps the more noticable change was evident in the theater building itself. Renovations of the theater were completed over the summer thanks to a grant from William Schuster. Among the changes were a new paint job, sign, flower garden, carpeting, and a rebuilt box office. Each of the productions this year were ones everyone can be proud of. Congratulations to all those who participated — the actors as well as those behind the scenes — for the jobs well done! 86 The Apple Tree The Apple Tree is a musical composed of three one-act plays: The Diary of Adam and Eve based on a short story by Mark Twain; The Lady or the Tiger based on a short story by Frank R. Stockton; Passionella based on a short story by Jules Feiffer. The musical adaptation was written and composed by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock. The production was directed by William J. Doan. 87 Gannon Theater Presents: Cf Mice and Men Written by: John Steinbeck Directed by: Alexander Clemente George. ..Michael Lucie Lenny. ..Scott McClelland Curly. ..David McNeil Curly's Wife. ..Chris Sanner Candy. ..David Sinclair Crooks. ..Damon L. Ward This classic tragedy depicts the American Dream represented through the experiences of two friends, Lenny and George. It is not only the realization of this dream that Steinbeck deals with, but the loss of it, all in a span of three days. [y-T !

Completion of the center is expected by the fall of 1984. photo by Mark Wnukowski by Mark Wnukowski Groundbreaking ceremonies were held last Monday at the site of Gannon's $3.5 million student recreation center. Construction will begin this week. Nearly 100 people at- tended the event. Prior to the turning over of the first shovels of dirt, a liturgy was conducted by Rev. Richard Sullivan, director of campus ministry. Most Rev. Bishop Michael Murphy blessed the land, and was the first to break the ground. Erie County Executive Judy Lynch and Mayor Louis Tullio were on hand for the event. The site for the center was assembled earlier this year through the pur- chase of seventeen pro- perties adjacent to the Gannon campus compris- ing the middle half of the block bounded by Peach, Sassafras, West Third, and West Fourth Streets. The new student recreation center con- stitutes a major step in the completion of the campus facilities develop- ment program of the university, said Gannon President Dr. Joseph Scottino. An additional $3 million is expected to be spent within the next five years for the renova- tion of major existing campus facilities. Whipple-Allen Con- struction Co. will design- build the new center. Ac- cording to John Lindner, project manager, the trailers and electrical hook-ups were expected -to be at the site on Mon- ti {, with bulldozers, ( Tew, and other necessary equipment arriving later this week. The multi-purpose enter will serve recrea- tional and intramural sports programs at Gan- non. The center could also accommodate inter- collegiate programs in swimming and wrestling which the university is considering. Once the center is completed, Gan- non may also launch an undergraduate major in physical education. Facilities planned in the center include a multi-purpose gym- nasium with three basket- ball courts, an indoor running track, a natatorium (pool), six handball-racquetball courts, a physical fitness center, locker rooms, two saunas, offices, general purpose rooms, and storage areas. Outdoor activity area and ample parking facilities are also planned. V -■Lrwa' 94 UNIVERSITY 95 STUMNT-KFX Rec.

Gannon students are encouraged to join clubs, pledge fraternities and so- rorities, and engage in some of the many activities offered. The next few pages present some of those options and show who was involved. Always sitting alone in your room with a book is cutting yourself short. iiyp Si§. mti 99 COMMENCEMENT 100 GRADUATION '85 0H , 0 T, ffl dfl 102 103 Accounting Club CLUB MEMBERS: Seated — Jill Michaels, Mary Zenner, Larry Barger, Vicki Renville.

During the first year of its existence, the Accounting Club joined the Gannon community in an impressive manner. Some of the many activities held throughout the year included hosting guest speakers from Coopers and Ly- brand, Ernst and Whinney and Lord Corporation; taking tours of several lo- cal companies; showing films related to the accounting profession; and holding a Christmas party and a spring ban- quet. The club also established the Wil- liam N. Latimer Memorial Award in memory of the longtime Gannon pro- fessor. In recognition of its achieve- ments, the club was honored to be named Gannon's 'Outstanding Club for 1984-85' at the Founders Day Ceremo- nies. The Accounting Club takes great pride in its accomplishments and looks forward to even greater success in the future. Club members and faculty enjoy the year end banquet at Henry's Restaurant.

It is designed to be a witness to the Gospel for the faculty, administration and staff as well as the students. Campus Ministry seeks to help men and women on campus develop their faith. Catholics may attend the masses and cele- brate the sacraments of the Eucharist and Pennance. Protes- tant services are held in nearby churches. Groups like Corner- stone Christian Fellowship and Pax Christi allow Christian fel- lowship and involvement. A film series and Bible studies aid individuals in their growth. Many volunteer services are performed through Campus Ministry for those who wish to help others: Help for the Soup Kitchen, annual trips to aid the Appalachain poor and various services as needed in the community are some examples of the work done. The music ministry also allows people to serve God and others as singers and musicians. Campus Ministry also sponsors parties and socials throughout the year for fellowship. Some highlights this year included the completion of the renovations of the Gannon University chapel on 5th and Peach. Also, a Discovering Catholicism program for those wishing to learn more about the church and a Experiencing Prayer pro- gram were held this year. Again this March was the Human Sexuality workshop designed for Gannon students. It is He who gave apostles, prophets, evangel- ists, pastors and teachers...

Held once in the fall and once in the spring, these phonathons are the endeavors of students and alumni volunteers to gain money for the Annual Fund. The Annual Fund, directed by Mary Negri, is used to finance the general operation of Gannon University as well as special programs. The fall 1984 Phonathon raised $58,022 in pledges and gave a total of approximately $133,000 given to the Annual Fund in 1984. Nineteen alumni and about 350 students participated. The 1985 spring Phonathon raised $74,107 with the help of almost 70 alumni volunteers. Mary Negri Director of the Annual Fund 122 Mcdel U.N. Gannon sponsored the 32nd Annual General Assembly of the Mod- el United Nations this November. Over 800 high school students from the tri-state area participated to discuss some issues including the Mid-East, chemical weapons, U.N. peacekeeping and interna- tional trade. Dr. Reinhard, a professor of political science, was the advisor for this event. Chris Ehrman, a senior political science major, acted as Secretary General. Lisa Meeder, a junior foreign language and international studies major, was the Model Security Council President. PEEEDQU c 123 Hunger Awareness Week J For the second consecutive year, Gannon University has recognized Hunger Awareness Week. During the week of November 11th, various groups around campus tried to make students and faculty aware of the world's hunger problem by sponsoring different events. Any proceeds or donations went to OxFam America, an organization dedicated to helping the world's poor. On the 14th, the Hunger Banquet was held — each student receives a ticket to eat either as a rich, average, or poor country's citizen would. The ticket ratios corresponded to the populations. The commuter fast and the resident Sing for Your Supper took place on the 15th along with a film discussion and Liturgy on Hunger. Informational literature was distributed throughout the week. 124 Now let's play... The Family rued This year, the SGA sponsored the Family Fued here at Gannon. The game was March 9th in the Gannon Theater. A comedian from Star Search, known as Sinbad, hosted the Family Fued finals. First place and $100 went to the Alcohol Family (whose members included Methyl, Ethyl, Propyl, Butyl, and Pentyl). The Alpha Gamms came in second. In any case, it looked like alot of fun. 125 TOM DELUCA hypnotist On November 3 in Zurn 104, very unusual things were happening. A row of students could be seen singing, dancing — all at the will of Tom DeLuca, a hypnotist. DeLuca's witty style also provided a comic touch to the show. Members of the Guardian Angels including the founder, Curtis Silwa, visited Gannon last March to talk about their unique approach to crime. The group, volunteers clad in red berets and T-shirts, first started to fight crime on New York subways. Since then, they've grown to over 5000 members with chapters in 60 cities. Guardian Angels 126 Side Streets Side Streets, formerly TGIF, continued this year to explore local subjects of interest. It is a weekly documentary- I type show produced by Gannon students in cooperation with Erie Cable Vision. Side Streets this year was produced by John Thompson and Mary Carol Beck (executive producer). 127 the gannon Knight •dlted community weekly The Year in Review Gannon University 1984-85 Warner hits 2,000-point plateau The Knights moved to 21-5 on the year Monday, turning away a fierce Clarion comeback to clip the Eagles 70-64 at the Hammermill Center. Trail- ing by 11 at intermission, the Eagles fought back and took the edge 62-58 for the last time. Butch Warner led the Knights with 22 points, giving him 2,002 for his career. Most players would not gain much trom a 13-of-49 shooting chart. But for Butch Warner, the poor showing placed him in the Gannon record books — on a good note to boot. The smooth senior hit seven field goals against Mercyhurst last Wednes- day and six more versus LeMoyne on Saturday, giving him a career total of 1980 points, one more than Knight Hall-of-Famer Gerry Walker, who set the old mark as a 1975 graduate. GU VS LEMOYNE After falling behind early, 21-10 the Lancers worked their way to the front, 29-25, over the next six and one half minutes. Warner, who sat out the first five minutes for disciplinary reasons, scored eight points during that stretch. LeMoyne, however, moved ahead, 33- 32, at intermission on a last-second goal by Bill Smolinski. The second-half was highlighted by nine lead changes, Gannon holding the largest edge at 42-35. With the Knights up, 65-62, at the 56- second mark, Warner calmly sank two free-throws to break Walker's career standard. The Lancers had to struggle to hold the lead, though, as Bob Chest- nut's bucket with 26 ticks left narrowed the gap to two, 68-66. But Mike Runski's charity toss 15 seconds later iced the win, as Walter Hill's layup with :06 showing was too little, too late, with the Knights running out the clock from there. Warner's 23 led the Knights while Runski added 16. Juan Rodriguez dealt out nine assists, as Jonathon Jones and Herb Dixon halved 16 rebounds. GU VS HURST The long-awaited match-up between the area's leading scorers, Butch Warner and John Green, finally arrived last Wednesday at the Erie Civic Center. And the fans were not to be denied their glory. As the Knights jumped in front, 19-10, Warner definitely had the upper hand. Playing team-ball, Gannon seemed to be headed for a resounding win. But after the 14:16 mark, when the Lakers used a timeout, the Lancer ef- fort fell apart. Nothing dropped for Gan- non, as Green took repeated shots — with little pressure — and helped his team gain the advantage, 44-41 at half- time. The scoring machine recorded 12 of the 'Hursts' last 14 points in the opening 20 minutes. Gannon pulled to within two twice during the second half, but they drew the ball away on each ensuing attempl to tie. The Laker defense rattled the Knights the rest of the way, as the lat- ter's defense did little to help the Gan- non cause. Mercyhurst built its margin continual- ly after the 11:44 mark, when they led 60-58, and didn't let up until the final score of 89-76. Green led all scorers with 32, while Warner guided the Knights with 23. The Knights can clinch the MECC reg- ular-season title and a play-off berth at Philadelphia-Textile on Friday. The Lancers nipped the Rams in Erie, 84-79, two weeks ago. Anything for Matt by Mary Ann Daniels When I started going out with Matt Dennison, I was so impressed that yes, my boyfriend, was the sports editor. He knew all there was to know about the most manly things there were: football, basketball, sumo wrestling . . . Matt was sports, as far as I was concerned. So here I am, taking over for him as he lays helpless in bed with a migraine. It's the least I could do for my guy. Ex- cuse me if I don't cover the sports with Matt's usual aplomb. But here goes. Let's talk sports . . . First, the swim meet. Who beat who? I don't know. Matt wouldn't let me stay for the whole thing cause I was getting giddy over the men in their little trunks. (Carlos Meleno, I noticed, made an ab- solutely stunning splash into the pool.) Wrestling is one of my personal favor- ites. The sweat, the heat of the ring, the muffled grunts of the wrestlers. Phys- ical contact. Love it. But what makes a sport a sport? The first requirements is, of course, sweat. At least one person should break a bone during the course of play. And at leasl one bad ref is a must. So why even bother with sports? Ask Matt. He's the sports editor. Matt Dennison is a senior Business major and sports editor for the Knight. Mary Ann Daniels is a senior Education major, copy edit or for the Knight, ana Matt's devoted girlfriend. 128 The Year in Review The Gannon Knight News Gannon mourns Lubiak's death The Rev. Casimir J. Lubiak, 69, direc- tor of library collections at the Nash Learning Resource Center, died Tues- day. March 19 after an extended ill- ness. He was born in Wilkes-Barre on Oct. 7, 1915, a son of the late Stanley and Mary Bogdan Lubiak. A graduate of Ca- thedral Prep and St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, he also received an MS de- gree in library science from Western Reserve University. He was ordained on June 3, 1943. In 1949, Lubiak joined the faculty of Gannon, and in 1956 became the direc- tor of the library. He was instrumental in planning and designing the Nash Li- brary, which was completed in 1973. He was later assigned to the position of director of development of library col- lections. During his tenure at Gannon, Lubiak acted as a supply priest for Blessed Sacrament Church. Following his retirement as director of the Nash Library, he aided in offering daily masses and weekend ministry for the people of the parish. Dedication to his work was one of Fr. Lubiak's strongest characteristics, said the Rev. Thomas Snyderwine, di- rector of the Nash Library. When he was director of the library, he was here morning, noon and night. Snyderwine said. Over the 34 years he was with the library, he had the opportunity to develop the collection the likes of which nobody else has ever had. We had only a mere fraction of what we have now, and the majority of what we have is due largely to his careful selection. A memorial service was held in the Nash Library for the Gannon communi- ty to pay their respects. Gannon Presi- dent Joseph Scottino delivered a me- morial speech along with the prayer service. Monsignor Robert Smith, chancellor of the Erie Diocese, said Although the library at Gannon was his particular in- terest . . . the Book of Eternal Life was his only real library, and God's people the beneficiaries of one who was able to bring God's word from the written page to the particular circumstances of peo- ple's lives. His perception about what we need in the Gannon collection will be sorely missed, said Snyderwine. Fr. Lubiak knew in an instant what areas we need- ed to strengthen from his longtime de- velopment of the collection. Survivors include three sisters, Mrs. Edward Tarkowski of Erie, Sister Mary Alice Lubiak of Michigan, and Mrs. Roy Joblonski of California; and one broth- er, Stanley Lubiak, of Erie. GU student arrested in crosswalk by Lori Jakiela A Gannon student was arrested for disorderly conduct in the 7th St. cross- walk last Wednesday. Kenneth McGowan, a senior chemis- try major, said he and about 20 other Gannon students, were crossing 7th St. when a car refused to yield to the pe- destrians in the crosswalk. The car was bumping into people and students had to run out of the way. It nicked me with the front of the bump- er and I hit the hood of the car with my fist, McGowan said. The car turned out to be an un- marked police car. Patrolman Richard Hopkins, the driver, then arrested McGowan. According to both McGowan and Mario Bagnoni, head of Gannon securi- ty, the police cruiser was in pursuit of a car that had gone through a red light. The cruiser was equipped with a siren, but it was not used. The cruiser was not identified as a patrol car in pursuit as it nudged its way through the crowd of students until McGowan was arrested. The officer said that he was afraid of scaring somebody, so that's why he didn't use the siren. At that close range, you could give somebody a heart at- tack, explained Bagnoni. McGowan said when he realized the car was a police vehicle, he apologized. I apologized about ten times. I really didn't feel like going to jail, McGowan said. McGowan was then transported to the police station where he was de- tained in a cell. All my possessions were taken. I wasn't read my rights. I asked to make a phone call. He (Hop- kins) said I would have to wait. I never made that call, McGowan said. Two of McGowan's Delta Sigma Phi fraternity brothers informed Bagnoni, who did not witness the incident, that McGowan was being held for the sum- mary offense. As soon as I found out, I went over and got Ken out, Bagnoni said. Bagnoni explained it was unneces- sary for the policeman to read McGowan his rights because of the na- ture of the charge. But normally they don't lock you up on a summary of- fense, Bagnoni added. McGowan feels his rights were violat- ed. I'm considering pressing charges, McGowan said. Right now, McGowan faces a fine and a hearing. I've already talked to Dis- trict Magistrate Weindorf and he laughed at the whole thing. He's going to set a date for the hearing sometime soon, McGowan said. Hopkins was unavailable for com- ment. Knight Shots Of 133 Gannon students surveyed, 78% are registered voters. From that percentage come these statistics: MALE 1 63% Support Reagan Bush 24% Support Mondale Fenaro FEMALE 41% Support Reagan Bush 25% Support Mondale Ferraro 34% Are Undecided This poll was conducted by Chris Ehrman and John Onorato, both political science majors at Gannon, as an in- dependent project. Although it is a fair representation of the student population, the poll, as with all polls is subject to a margin of error. 129 The Year in Review The Gannon Knight News Divorce issue has stigmatized GU employees editorial Rumors have a way of exploding into full-blown fact. And the rumors that have been circulating around Gannon about the university's efforts to establish a written policy concerning the hiring of divorced persons have done just that. But there seems to be some hesitation from somewhere in the administrative eschelon to reach — and publicly an- nounce — a conclusion to the discrepancies concerning di- vorce discrimination. And, unfortunately, that hesitation is causing some Gannon employees even more anxiety — an anxiety that shouldn't have ever been sparked in the first place. The question shouldn't be what Gannon's policy on the hiring of divorced people will be. It's time to- start asking the question why? Why does Gannon find the need to set up committees and do extensive studies to establish a policy based on an issue that, both legally and morally, shouldn't even be considered? Some will answer that Gannon's Catholic ties make di- vorced people inappropriate additions to the university. Au contrair. The Church stresses anti-discrimination — and ac- cepts (and forgives) those who are divorced. Some will say that being divorced makes an individual a less competent employee. However, as Paula Michelegko, advisor to the family medicine's Hahnemann program, stressed, an emo- tionally stable and independent divorced person will prob- ably perform better on the job than someone who is unstab- ly trapped in a bad marriage. So why all the deliberating, administrating, philosophizing and rhetorical speaking about the status of divorced people in the university? Could it be that some members of the administration are not aware of Gannon's policy as an anti- discriminatory employer? Or could it be that certain individ- uals are not aware of the fact that discrimination on the basis of someone's marital status is illegal? No one, particularly no one in a governing position in this university, could be that naive. The motives of the university's actions can certainly be questioned. But there's more. Any institution which, by its raised-eyebrow approach, questions the abilities and moral- ity of divorced individuals is insensitive. Perhaps Gannon does not stop to consider what the im- pact of even just the discussion of the divorce discrimination issue has on its divorced employees. But hasn't the universi- ty made it clear that if a policy which states that Gannon will not hire divorced people is adopted, it will have no impact on the retention or promotion of those individuals already employed? Of course. But one can't help but wonder if that's not just a little two-faced. And one can't help to think that the university may not keep its word. But, retention and promotion aside, the divorced mem- bers of the Gannon community have been stigmatized. They've been made to feel guilty and responsible for some- thing that happened in their personal lives — something that may not have been their fault. Even if a Gannon employee was responsible for his or her own divorce, the discussion and judgement of an individual's personal actions — actions which should certainly not be considered as criteria for employment — certainly seems unchristian. And for an institution that seems to place so much emphasis on its Catholicism, that's surprising. Although a decision hasn't been made as to what the poli- cy will be, the members of the committee assigned to study the matter have agreed that the policy will be nondiscrimina- tory. But the drafted policy still has to be accepted by the Board of Trustees. And perhaps it will. But harm has already been done. Divorced Gannon faculty and administrators have suffered hard blows to their selfes- teem and confidence. The university, in its own subtle way and without apology, has made them feel guilty. Guilty — and blacked-marked — for some personal debt they've al- ready paid back in full with the costly pain of their own di- vorce. Money and campaigning by Rick Smith With a walk around campus last week one might think that it was more than just SGA election time. It seemed many of the candidates de- cided to go all out in campaign expendi- tures to reach their respective posi- tions. For some, who went as far as posting yard signs, door knob hangars, and other literature that was visible ev- erywhere, it was as if they decided to take the road of big time campaigning, although I didn't hear of any who hired media consultants. In the past five to ten years, the cost of campaigning has been getting out of hand, but I never thought that these cost would filter down into the SGA elections. But I guess it was inevitable. It used to be that just the national presi- dential elections would seem ridicu- lously high priced, but then it went to the Senate and House of Representa- tive races, and now its into mayoral and city council races and, of course, SGA elections. Who knows? Maybe by next year it will be into high school student council elections, but even if it is this will be good for those students preparing for political careers. With the experience of running high-priced student council elections they can easily make the tran- sition into the big-time politics. If this trend continues even further you might even see the SGA add an ex- tra fee onto your bill in order to fund their annual presidential races just like you can do now when you pay your Fed- eral Income Tax. 130 The Year in Review The Gannon Knight News after behavior at dance Students put on probation by Janice Kowalski Four Gannon students were placed on social probation this past week fol- lowing incidents occuring at the Feb. 15 Winter Carnival dance. The students, one sophomore and three freshmen, were at some point during the dance, out of hand and giving verbal abuse to police officers or dance officials, said David Jurenovich, direc- tor of student living. The students in question were apparently under the in- fluence of alcohol and very disorderly, refusing to get into the Gannon vans and giving the van drivers a difficult time, he added. Jurenovich said each of the students received an official warning from the university in addition to being placed on social probation. The first official warning a student receives means that if at any time the student falls into a situation where they are directly or in- directly involved in a disciplinary mat- ter, they can be dismissed from the uni- versity, he said. A social probation status means a student is not permitted to attend any university-sponsored events, such as basketball games, or any related SGA or Student Activities functions, such as concerts, dances or movies. Some of the students will not be permitted to attend any functions for the rest of this year, some will not be allowed to attend the next three Gannon dances, Juren- ovich said, adding that the penalty giv- en to the individual student depending on the extent of their disorderliness. The disciplinary actions were taken at the request of Holly Nishimura, di- rector of student activities, and Richard Dunford, vice-president of student per- sonnel services. The penalties were based on the regulations in the Gannon Student handbook, page 41, which states: Irresponsible conduct off-cam- pus as a result of excessive drinking, which brings discredit or ill favor to the good name of the university, may be subject to disciplinary action by the di- rector of student living, Jurenovich ex- plained. The university is being forced to step in, even though the SGA has tried to control the dances, Jurenovich said. I hate to say these students are being made into examples, but I believe they are. If this behavior continues, the dances could be endangered, he said. Jurenovich said the student under social probation will be monitored as closely as possible to make sure the sanction rules aren't broken. The stu- dents (on probation) have to be aware that if they violate the official warning or the social probation, they will be im- mediately suspended from the universi- ty, he said. In the future, Jurenovich said, the so- cial probation action could be enacted more often to keep the university events orderly. I can see that from now on, we (the university) will have to step in, Jurenovich said. 131 The Year in Review Gannon Knight News Rock n' roll veteran talks about career by Janice Kowalski If you're going to the Michael Stanley Band concert on Saturday and are ex- pected to have a good time, rest as- sured because so is Michael Stanley. We've had a lot of fun at colleges through the years, Stanley said in a recent telephone interview from his re- hearsal hall in Cleveland, Ohio. Col- leges are usually looking for a break from getting up for that 8:00 class ev- eryday. They're there to have a good time. Also, you're dealing with people of above average intelligence. Stanley knows what life on a small college campus is like since he is a gra- duate of Hiram College of Ohio. About concerts at small colleges, Stanley said There's not enough people that it gets out of hand, not like playing a collesium or anything, but there's enough people for you to have a pretty good party. The Michael Stanley Band, which cur- rently includes drummer Tom Do- becky, bass player Michael Gizmondi, lead guitarist Dan Powers, keyboard players, Bob Pelander and Kevin Ra- leigh and Stanley himself, has been around for 11 years and Stanley grew up playing in the Cleveland area. Of the several albums recorded by MSB, Stan- ley list Can't Fight Fashion and Cabin Fever as two of his favorites. There's things in every album I like and dislike in retrospect, Stanley said. Some songs I would definitely not let see the light of day if I would do it over again and others that sit really well after a couple of years. When it comes to classifying his mu- sic, though, Stanley has somewhat of a tough time. In 11 years, I've never come up with a really good definition (for our music, Stanley said. If it's in the middle somewhere then it's not worth too much. We just like to hit somebody emotionally one way or the other. If you can move them on a more serious level, that's great, but the bot- tom line of rock and roll has always been supposedly to have fun and feel good. When asked about the influence that videos have had on the music industry, Stanley agreed that the video influence is a major one. The video influence has an effect on everyone's future right now. I think we're at the saturation point, though, Stanley said. A lot of it has become very redundant, and there are some people doing some amazing things with videos. But at the same time there is a lot of them that are just copies of three or four basic formats. Stanley's view of music seems to be a more traditional one. I'm personally from the old school of 'I'd like you to figure out what the song means to you.' You don't need me putting my interpre- tation on it or some director's interpre- tation, which is usually what it comes out as, as opposed to the artist. MSB has done three videos to date and agreed they're fun to do and help a band to reach more people, but feels there's something missing. I think it sort of takes away the audience's par- ticipation in it, which happens to be let- ting you come up with an idea of what the song means to you or how you in- terpret it. Working with Donny Iris and the Cruisers is not a new experience for MSB We've played a lot together, and they're a great band. Donny is a great performer, and he and Mark write some really good songs. It's always fun to work with them, and they make you work because they put on such a good show when they go out before you that you have to really get in gear to try and top them. And they deserve it. They're good. Right now, MSB is working on a new album, about half of which is recorded now. As far as what the album will be like, Stanley is not quite sure. I really never know (what type of an album it's going to be) until it's done. What it basi- cally comes down to is Kevin, Dan, Bob- by and I all write the songs and see what they sound like. I never really know. I don't set out to write a more rock and roll album or a new wave album or what- ever. We usually try to go with the songs we like best and that sort of dictates the flow of the album. What will dictate the flow of the even- ing this Saturday is the crowd and their response to Michael Stanley's version of rock and roll. We've always had a good time in Erie. There's always been good crowds and the people in the area know how to rock and roll and that's important. As far as the Gannon community is concerned, Stanley has a good idea of what he would like to happen. Hope- fully, when you leave the concert, you'll have a smile on your face.

It was two schools, pitted as co- bra and mongoose, in one, confining steel cage. Neither would come out the same as it had entered — one, the glo- rified winner, the other left to suffer the evil consequences of its wounds. The thrill-seeking fans, never satis- fied by mere blood, looked toward the kill. Each side had proclaimed its com- batant to be champion, and both of the warriors were out to prove their respec- tive supporters true. But only one would succeed. Set face-to-face, the mongoose struck first. Twisting, turning, pouncing high to deliver lighting blows, he used his agility to penetrate the snake's de- fenses. Using one limb to balance him- self, as a gyroscope on taught string, he used the other to unleash blinding shots. After six minutes, though, his en- ergy was spent. The swift of his weap- ons was gone. It was the cobra's turn. Gaining the open field — not truly needed by the king of death — the rep- tile stalked its opponent for the easy bite. The former aggressor was laid back, his guard down. The cobra pierced the skin of the confused mon- goose, who tried in vain to recover from the cut — only to further his retreat. Twice, the quadruped flung himself at His Majesty. Twice, the royal court alertly leaped in to block the futile ef- fort. The backers of the mongoose be- gan to realize the unruffled cobra was too wise, too composed to faulter. They began to leave, embarrassed to watch their champion run helplessly for cover. The more he ran, the more his pride — and tail — were nipped. The king would not be beaten. He continued to assail his victim, much to the delight of the ravenous fans. Not only did he want to win, he hoped to drive his crippled foe to the point of no return. But as the cobra prepared to finish the task, the cage was opened, and the mongoose freed. The winner rejoiced in victory, knowing he was now the one- and-only. The loser was taken by his master's hand home, where the defeat- ed could lick its wounds in solemnity. The victor was feated, and for the next twelve months, he celebrated. He was the champion. But in all his delight, he had made one mistake. The mon- goose was not dead. And he would fight again. Middle States displeased with study by Paul Leuzzi The Middle States Evaluation team which visited Gannon last Monday re- fused to make a report regarding Gan- non's accreditation due to a lack of in- formation in the university's self study. In a letter addressed to the faculty, Gannon President Dr. Joseph Scottino stated that A Middle States Evaluation Team . . . concluded that the Self-Study prepared by Gannon did not provide an adequate basis for their evaluation of Gannon on behalf of the Commission of Higher Education. Dr. Paul Peterson, vice president of academic affairs and chairperson of the Institutional Self-Study team, stated that the reason for this action accord- ing to Dr. Reiss (chairperson of the eval- uation team) is that the Institutional Self-Study appears to have been pre- pared primarily for the purposes of the visitation, and that it contains insuffi- cient evidence of a penetrating self- scrutiny by the entire institution. What this means is that the self-study report (which is a report compiled by various sub-committees within the uni- versity examining the internal makeup of Gannon) appeared to be put together for the sole purpose of the visitation by the Middle States Association (MSA), and was not a carefully planned and complete report about the university. Scottino, in his letter stated the ac- creditation of Gannon University by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association continues in- tact. Scottino also pointed out in his letter that it is our firm expectation that the accreditation of the university will be reaffirmed following the revision of the Self-Study and the subsequent evalua- tion of the university by the Commis- sion on Higher Education. But other universities were not as lucky as Gannon. According to an arti- cle in the March issue of the Chronical of Higher Education, 'The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools has revoked Cheyney Universi- ty's accreditation . . . because of 'inad- equate' university leadership and 'un- clear' goals. Cheyney, however, plans to appeal the decision made by the MSA. Peterson said the evaluation pro- cess (for Gannon's accreditation) will be postponed until a later date as deter- mined by Middle States. Robert Kirkwood, executive director of the Commission on Higher Educa- tion, declined comment on the evalua- tion team's findings, pending the com- pletion of a report by Reiss. 9 133
