Coughlan Delivers “State of the College Address” by Karl CicUto On Tuesday. September 28, Fa- ther John Coughlan, President of Merrimack College, delivered his Address To The Merrimack College Community” to a crowd of approxi- mately one-hundred and fifty peo- ple. Father Coughlan presented a very positive piece of news regard- ing the financial state of this institution. “The net result of the year ending June 30. 1976, was a deficit of 38,258. This deficit might at face value seem to be an atrocious disclosure. However, Fr. Coughlan had previously stated that a $240,000 deficit had been expect- ed. Heavy influences in this reversal of financial status are tha t Reve- nues were somewhat higher while expenses, especially in the operation and maintenance of the college,... were lower. Address , Father Coughlan stated that enrollment was in the process of stabilizing. Soon after that speech, however, he conceded that enroll- ment would likely decrease as a result of the $300 increase in tuition and $200 increase in residence fees effective this September. Fears of decreased enrollment were allevi- ated, though. Father stated in his recent address, “Many of you are aware that our student enrollment and dormitory residence is some- what above anticipated. The largest increase is in the freshmen class. We are happy to indicate that 540 freshmen, rather than 475, entered in September. Our other student enrollment remained steady, and we have therefore about 55 more stu- dents and 25 more residents than budgeted. The overall outlook regarding Merrimack’s budget is br ight. Fa- ther Coughlan indicated that the college’s budget for the current fiscal year will not end in deficit. When asked if it was likely that tuition would rise again in the near future. President Coughlan stated that while it was likely, any tuition raises would be much smaller than the one which was effective this September. Future tuition increases would necessarily meet the cost of living increases which affect Merri- mack. In his last “State of the Collef.e Plus, Minus Grades This Semester by P. Jayne Viladenis The plus-minus grading sys- tem, passed Oct. 21, 1975 by the Faculty Senate, will be instituted this semester for all cl lss-levels. The plus-minus policy is being employed, as expressed in Faculty Senate minutes, because it may “make for finer nuancing in the reporting of grades.” Prof. William Garrett, Faculty Senate President, expressed con- cern that not all students are aware of the change since the policy was adopted last October and was not instituted until the Fall Semester of 1976. Prof. Garrett explained that the delay was caused by the necessity of printing Student Handbooks in uniform with the new system. Under this new system (which is explained in detail in the ‘76 - ’77 handbook) the grade levels will be broken down to include plus and minus grades. An “A” for example, rates a 4.0, an A- rates 3.7, a B plus rates a 3.3, etc. Although the grading system has been changed, the Dean’s List requirement remains at 3.25 and the various other Honor desig- nations remain the same. Rev. Donald Burt, O.S.A., Vice President for Academic Af- fairs, evaluated the policy change as a “benefit to students across the board” adding that “it will give a more accurate accume”. Father Burt stated, “It’s up to the professor whether or not he is going to use the system or not. In .some cases it’s hard to define, they didn’t quantify the grades as much. For some it will be easier and for others more difficult.” (for teachers to apply the plus and minus system accurately). Fr. Burt cited some of the arguments against the old system. It was grade inflationary and a less accurate measurement of student achievement. “Some people argu- ed that grade inflation was partial- ly a result of having grades so far spread out, and others argued that ;he grade points didn’t accurately neasure one student’s accomplish- ments against anothers.” As was revealed in the Warrior earlier in September, Merrimack has received regional accreditation again. President Coughlan touched on this area in his speech Wednes- day, reporting that this institution has been re-accredited for a period of five years. He also revealed that the Electrical Engineering Depart- ment has been accredited by the Engineer’s Council for Professional Development for a period of two years. The significance of this grant is that without said accreditation, Merrimack’s E.E. graduates would be locked out of certain jobs. During his recent State of the College Address , the President also remarked on the current efforts on the part of faculty to unionize. His comments in this area were general, outlining the actions which have taken place thus far. He also stated, “I do hope and trust that all in the faculty will attempt, insofar as is possible, to inform themselves of what faculty unionism will mean to the College. A majority of the number of those individuals voting will decide the election — not a majority of those eligible to vote. Therefore it is incumbent for all to vote. President Coughlan’s closing re- marks reflected the ongoing drive to develop and solidify the status of Merrimack College: “In closing, I pledge myself and my administra- tion to a continuing effort in setting up mechanisms for information so that together we may set the best course for our college. We hope to look at all aspects of campus — to change what is no longer effective, to revitalize wherever possible, and to move with the courage and enthusiasm necessary to plan for the 1980’s.’’ (ed. note — a print out of Merri- mack’s budget for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 1976 is included in this issue. It should prove of interest to the reader.) Both Father Burt and Garrett expressed optimistic on the new system.

According to WMMC news director Gary Muldoon the network now consists of 11 stations. These stations are supplied with selected WMMC News produc- tions. Muldoon stated “although WMMC is not as large as some of the stations on our network, I feel that we have something worthwhile to offer. So far I ' ve been very pleased with the results, we ' ve received a lot of positive feed-back from our affiliates. WMMC News produces a weekly political commentary for its net- work. This commentary features WMMC’s political analyst, Dr. Cur- tis Martin of the Poli. Sci. depart- ment. WMMC News also produces monthly documentaries in its His- torical Perspectives series. This is a group of major journalistic produc- tions which focus on various histori- cal events. In October for example, a 30 minute production on the Cuban Missile Crisis was presented. In November the topic will be J.F.K., and in December the bombing of Pearl Harbor will be featured. Tapes NETWORK of these documentaries will also be donated to area libraries. WMMC News is also expanding its services in other directions. An example of this is the special programming being planned about the faculty ' s move to unionize. When commenting on this, Muldoon stated “The Faculty has a big decision to make. I feel that WMMC News can provide a service to the college community by presenting the issues in an objective way. Thus those involved will have the opportunity to look at both sides and thus make a well informed choice. An example of this programming is a special panel discussion being planned for next week which will focus on the teachers’ union. The Great Freshmen Welcoming by Richard Cain and Karl Cicitto There are many ways of being oriented to a new place as was shown during the Orientation Week here at Merrimack. For some of the Freshmen it was checking out the Sports Complex and its programs. Many others showed great interest in the academic programs and cour- ses they are planning to take. At the social functions during the week the guys made no bones about checking out the gals and (of course) vice- versa. Our Orientation hit upon all of these categories with the Sports day, mixers, tests, guest speakers and outings. The program is basical- ly set up so the freshmen can get a feeling of the campus, its people, and college life in general before they become tied up in the heavy load of studies and activities. Merrimack’s Orientation ’76 came off just as planned, and that means it came off very well. M.C.’s Orientation has been recognized for the past four years as one of the best in New England and the entire country. Since last April 85 Orientation members had been organizing and revamping the activities which were transformed from mere ink on the schedule to the events of Sept. S-lOth. The incoming freshmen were greeted at the dorms by the enthusi- astic committee members who gave great assistance by helping them settle into residence for the coming semester. The grateful yet surprised look on student and parents’ faces reflected just how welcome the committee’s efforts were. After everyone had settled in they took one deep breath before jumping into the hectic schedule of O.C. week. rerhaps one of the best parts of the week was the Religious Orienta- tion presented by Campus Ministry. The freshmen met the new and old members of the Ministry staff, they also got a good idea of the important role the ministry plays on this campus. Fr. Joe Kelly and Sister Raphael put together a movie sum- marizing last year’s ministry events. The movie featured footage of the memorable trip to the Appalachian region in Kentucky. Later in that same day nervous energy was Trivia by John J. Buba, Jr. Last Week’s Questions 1. In the TV show M A S H, what does M A S H stand for? 2. What is the number of their M A S H unit? 3. What film won the Aca- demy Award for Best Pic- ture in 1965? 4. How many satellites (mo- ons) does Saturn have? released in the also memorable Freshman 0. C. football game. The game was quite a hit with its intense action, but it was regrettably called to an early end in the 3rd quarter on account of beer. The well hidden, but undeniable talent of the Sophomore Class came out of the closet Saturday night. The hysterical laughter of the crowd indicated just how well the show went over. All sorts of skits and jokes were whipped up and thrown together to create a show of great comedy and entertainment. The first half of the show featured four Dating Game skits in which the winner of each skit received $25! The show, from the overall viewpoint, was a cultural and educational phenome- non, touching prostitution, T.V. advertisements. Deep African abori- ginees, animals, sexual exploitation and French culture. There was also an emphasis on the proper and accepted patterns of French speech. Anyone leaving the show could not help but feel intellectually enriched. As the weekend slipped by Monday morning found everyone sleeping almost ’til noon, at which time there was a big brother, big sister luncheon intended to aid the freshmen as they selected courses for this semester. Big brothers and sisters throughout the cafeteria informed the naive freshmen on which profs were tops and which were crumbs. The freshmen’s anxi- ety over courses summoned the big bro’s and sis’ to aid the class of 1980 — an effort which might be likened to the blind leading the blind. Needless to say the luncheon ended with the freshmen feeling assured and optimistic about their academic year. The freshmen and the committee were able to match wits at the trivia contest. There were several matches between each group, the O.C. scor- ing victories in all but one match. This was followed by t4ie S.A.A. sponsored movie “Blazing Saddles”, famous for its renowned campfire 5. How many billiard balls in a full rack? 6. On the Dick Van Dyke Show, what was Sally’s last name? 7. In CB slang, what is a “double L”? 8. What play in the 1920 World Series made Bill Wambsganss famous? 9. Within 10, what was the total enrollment of Merri- mack College when it open- ed in 1947? 10. Who was Underdog’s girl- friend? scene. The movie primed the fresh- men for a night of fun on the dance floor, Mel Brooks’ cinematic insanity being directly followed by the tunes of White Lightning. The next morn- ing, the freshmen discovered they had gotten more than they had bargianed for when they took the previous night’s motto “All you can drink” to heart. That morning the ultimate misery of hangover hung over the campus. The question, “Why, why did I do it” was resoundingly heard throughout the entire day. The week moved rapidly along and the freshmen got down to more serious matters. There were serious meetings with student personnel, discussion by students as to why they came to M.C., and with expressions of hopeful achievement. The talks were intended to create an idea exchange and personal under- standing of how one can benefit and grow at Merrimack. One of the social highlights of the week, which stands out or rings out in everyone’s minds was Hoppin’ Boppin’ Jack Flash! Back this year by request. Jack transformed the drab atmosphere of the Church Auditorium into one hell of a disco. Jack brought along with him $65,000 worth of equipment, recordds and dazzling light. Everyone could not by John J. Buba, Jr. Does anyone know where I can get a Poetic License? I’ve writ- ten to Washington, called the State House, and talked to Mass. PIRG. While they acknowledge the existence of such licenses, neither of them know how to ob- tain one. Why do I want a Poetic Li- cense? The answer is simple. I want to get “A’s” on all my term papers and essays. Many a time I have gotten a paper back with a comment such as “This paper starts out well, but you seem to end rather abruptly without draw- ing any conclusions from the facts stated in the text.” However, this instructor, when talking about the famous author Hermann Hesse, (who many times in his novelSid- dhartha fails to draw con- clusions.) simply explains that “The author purposely does not draw any conclusions in order to allow the reader to interprete the story in his own way.” Another time 1 received a paper back with the comment, “You seem to bela- bor one point.” But, when help but lose themselves— or find themselves!— in the array of music that featured sets of music by the Beach Boys, Beatles, Eagles, Stones and many others. Said one freshman of the event — “I’ve never seen anything like it anywhere, not only do you hear the music but you see the vibrations in the lights. You literally feel it”! The week came to a close with a mixer sponsored by the Sophomore Class which gave the freshmen a chance to meet the upperclassmen. Russ Burgess also chipped in to the overall weekly effort. Russ, an E.S.P. speaker, once again held his audience spellbound with his mysti- fying, supernatural techniques of entertainment. The overall week was very tiring but extremely rewarding, exciting and fulfilling for both fresh- men and O.C. members. Unity among Freshmen and Sophomore resulted, too. As the week began and subsequently slipped away, new friendships were created, new ex- periences were felt. Although the week was short, it hopefully was long enough for the freshmen to dip their toes into Merrimack’s waters in preparation to that refreshing plunge into the ocean of learning and growing. Alexander Solzhenitsyn tells us in page after page of his book One Day in the Lifeof Ivan Denisovich. how terrible it is in Soviet Prison Camps, we are told that it is done for emphasis. Probably the best example of this double standard is E.E. Cum- mings. (Or should I write “e e Cummings.”) Anyone who has ever read his works recognizes at once that at best, it is mildly un- intelligible. Words are strewn across the page, capitalization and punctuation are almost non- existent, and a definite lack of coherance are a characteristic of this author. Still the man is con- sidered great. The reason these authors can get away with such disregard for convention is obviously because they have a “Poetic License” to do so. Once you have one, you truly have a “license to kill” (the English language), and a guarantee to fame and fortune. So I hope some one out there knows where I can get a Poetic License. Other- wise it is going to be a long tough semester. A License To Kill On Thursday, December 2, the Faculty of this college will decide if they are to be collectively represented by the Massachusetts Teachers Association in affiliation with the National Educational Association. Faculty Unionism is a new phenomenon, the oldest such Union is only six years old. As a result of this factor, it is difficult to project what would result if a Union were to come to Merrimack. The purpose of this special edition of The Warrior is not to make predictions or sway opinion. The purpose is to communicate, especially to students, what has happened to raise the Union question at Merrimack, and how Unions have affected other colleges. Is a Union Compatible with the College Atmosphere? The question of how compati- ble ' unions are with an academic atmosphere is not easy to answer. Collective bargaining has long been associated with industry, however, it is rela- tively new in the world of academia. Based on the li mited evidence available it is difficult to predict what impact a union might have on a college campus such as Merrimack. It is how- ever possible to present a few general observations. In all likelihood when a college unionizes one can expect a change in the relationship be- tween the administration and the faculty. Because a union would become the sole bargain- ing agent for the faculty, all negotiations concerning matters subject to collective bargaining (such as wages, conditions of employment, etc.), would have to be done through the union. The administration would no longer be allowed to discuss such matters with individual faculty members. The admin- istration seems to feel that such a situation would tend to for- malize relationships and thus detract from an atmosphere of colligality. On the positive side of the change, in relationships it is possible that a union would bring about more open com- 36 munications between faculty and administration. Conditions of employment, wages, and fringe benefits become open to frank discussion. This cuts down on problems caused by a lack of in- formation or issues being mis- understood. The cost of collective bargain- ing could certainly be a problem for colleges especially privately financed colleges such as Mer- rimack. When a college union- izes a new bureaucracy must follow. The college may have to hire labor relations experts, specialized legal counsel, etc. and this can be expensive. Perhaps one of the most pro- found effects a union could have in an academic atmosphere could be seen if an impass was reached in the negotiations, i.e., the talks were deadlocked. In such in- stance the union could decide to take action such as a strike or a withholding of grades. Needless to say either of these moves Greeley, Lynch by Barbara Collins Due to the appointment of James Greeley as Assistant Direct- or of Admissions, Mary Lynch is named the new Director of Student Activities. Ms. Lynch, a 1973 graduate of Merrimack College, began office July 31, 1976. She is the first woman to hold the title of Student Activities Director. Mary Lynch views her position as being that of “a teacher outside the classroom, in the sense of how students interact with each other and administra- tion.” While all student input is welcomed and encouraged, Ms. Lynch deals primarily with stu- dent body representation, namely the Student Government Associa- tion (S.G.A.). She has had first hand experience with government as an active member during her years as a student at Merrimack. In fact she was one of the initial could cause a great many prob- lems for the students. Of course an impass in the negotiations would not necessarily result in such action but never the less the possibility is there. On a more abstract level a union could conceivably lead to a better understanding of the in- stitution. Past cases have shown that in the course of lengthy discussion on matters of mutual concern each side comes to a better understanding of the needs and constraints of the other. In summary it is obvious that since each institution is different the effects of unionization would not necessarily be the same at any two. One can only say that collective bargaining can have both positive and negative ef- fects on an academic atmosphere depending on the perspective from which one views the situ- ation. New Appointees persons involved in the division of S.G.A.’s two branches: the Associ- ated Students Union (A.S.U.)and the Student Activities Association (S.A.A.). Her past involvement in government has played a large part in creating a smooth transi- tion from the role of student to that of student director. It has enabled her to view Merrimack from more than one perspective. Mary Lynch sums up student body attitude in a positive way. “The term apathy has been much overplayed. Merrimack students are mature people with the potential to do many things.” Over the past four years no one person has made a greater effort to enrich our social lives at Merrimack quite as much as James Greeley. Mr. Greeley has left his position of Student Activities Director to become the new Assistant Director of Admissions. He is excited about the job and its opportunities but adds that he will miss the close contact he has enjoyed with the student body. For Greeley there will now be much time on the road as he will be visiting high schools in the New England area in an effort to further enlist student enrollment. Greeley finds his new position similar to his old one in that it largely involves public relations. However, as Student Activities Director, he dealt primarily with people who were trying to improve the social atmosphere at Merrimack. As Assistant Director of Admissions he works at bring- ing the institution of Merrimack College to the public. Greeley feels optimistic about the future and is pleased with the choice of Mary Lynch as the new Student Activities Director. FACULTY UNIONIZATION EFFORT ENDS IN DEFEAT By Karl Cicitto Only nineteen votes stopped a Faculty Union from coming to Mer- rimacTc College when the ballots were counted after the ele ction of Thursday, December 2. In all. 104 faculty voted: 2 faculty did not cast ballots and the vote of Assistant to the Dean of Business Administra- tion, Mary Lee Underhill, was contested. Reverend John A. Coughlan, O.S.A., President of Merrimack College commented favorably on the election’s outcome. “I am pleased with the way the Faculty voted,” stated Coughlan shortly after the outcome was known. The vote resolved an issue which first came to the fore in May of 1976 when the Faculty Senate’s Salary Benefits Committee submitted a report which concluded that the Faculty should unionize for the purpose of collective bargaining. Between May and November, faculty interest in a union was recognized officially. Faculty sued the Administration for an unfair labor practice, and the voting unit lor the election was determined. As students returned to school in September, the Union issue was unclear to many members of the Merrimack Community. Faculty themselves were aware of the sum- mertime efforts to unionize, but clearly were not knowledgeable on the overall subject. The tempo of a meeting of Union representatives and Faculty held in mid-September revealed that. Faculty attending that meeting asked pointed ques- tions about unionism in general. Only once was the union issue debated in Faculty Senate. At the October 26 convening of the Senate, three faculty addressed that topic, providing for one of the most active Senate meetings of the semester. A general floor debate closed out that meeting, leaving faculty ap- proximately two and one-half weeks to decide how they would vote. The tally for the election was 42 for a union, 61 against. Faculty Senate Keeps Plus Minus Grades By Chuck Jean Following substantial debate, the Faculty Senate defeated a motion concerning plus and minus grading at its November 16 meeting. The closely defeated motion (23-20) pro- posed that Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors not be subject to the present grading system. Professor DelGaudio, who presented the mo- tion, said that plus and minus grading is ”a different system alto- gether” from the one that these stu- dents have been used to and would tend to create inequities. In his pre- sentation, he also stated that over two hundred signatures had been obtained on a petition opposing the new grading system. When asked how more accurate grades would lead to inequities, DelGaudio replied that he and others felt that the sudden change in the grading system would tend to hurt the better students, lowering their cumulative averages. Following this, the discussion developed some- what into a debate on the pro’s and con’s of the plus and minus system as a whole, with one professor even- tually asking if it would be possible to re-vote the original motion which introduced plus and minus grades. This was not possible. In answer to the charge that stu- dents had not been consulted on the whole issue. Dr. Novak pointed out that students were represented on the Academic Congress, which had input on the question. Another point, against the motion presented by DelGaudio, was made by Profes- sor Looney who said that the students had already been told, and were working under the assumption, that they would be graded with plus- ses and minusses. It would be unfair to now simply change that. Another development concerning student grades took place at the Faculty Senate’s December 7 meet- ing. % a two to one margin, members voted to raise the quality point average necessary for gradu- ation from the present 1.85 to 2.00. A major reason given for this was the fact that grades have become in flated over the years. Some dis- senting professors, however, offer- red that this was a strange way to approach the problem of grade inflation. At this same meeting, it was also voted that ’’all limitations on stu- dent activity because of academic probation shall be eliminated as a matter of college policy.” In Memorium During the past summer Merri- mack lost two community servants, two good friends. Rev. William K. Cornell, O.S.A., Dean of Admissions died on Saturday, July 31 . He was 35 years old. 21 days later Herb McDonald, a four year member of Merrimack’s Security F ' olice Force, died at the age of 38. the guy really laved this place, the kids and the college were part of his life. He had compassion, common sense and understanding . ” — John Kiley Security Police Chief Father Cornell was ordained in 1967. He took his B.A. in Philosophy and M.A. in English while at Villanova. William Cornell was Merrimack’s Dean of Admissions since August of 1973. Editorial EDITORIAL Merrimack College began its twenty-ninth year when the class of 1980 arrived two weeks ago. The notion that there would be a class of 1980 must have seemed a lofty goal in 1947. The contributions of some of M.C.’s founders will continue to be with us each day of school. These individuals are represented in name; McQuade, Cushing, Gildea, etc. It should come as no surprise that people who nurtured Merrimack have loaned their names to various campus buildings. God willing we should all live to see the day that our names are embossed in brick or printed on the stationary of the library dedicated in our respective memories. Naturally, no building or office on campus has been Most students do not attend Merrimack long enough to have the effect of an administrator. Students make then- contributions en masse. The Radio Station is run by a student group. So is Student Government, so is the Warrior. So WAS Mass Pirg. Like Mass Pirg; S.G.A., the Warrior and WMMC have no wheres near the level of participation they should have as student organizations. Students, in general, do not attend and participate in S.G.A. meetings and that is bad because S.G.A. is our strongest link to the administration. Administration has to listen to government. If there is a problem, complaint, or constructive criticism to be made, government can get the attention and apply the pressure that the individual cannot. Similarly, the Warrior and WMMC are here to benefit students, and they are consistently available to students. But few students exercise their right to express opinion and seek aide through campus media. However, during the past two years there was a group of students here who did speak their mind. Merrimack’s branch of the Massachusetts People’s Interest Research Group is on its deathbed and may likely expire during this semester. During its up ’till now short lifespan, PIRG enriched Merrimack. Pirgers worked in city legal offices and behind petition tables. And they learned and talked about the kind of problems which seem important to everyone but are attended by so few. The students who worked on PIRG, have, in a small way, left behind a legacy to the college that is akin to that of M.C.’s founders. Pirgers had an attitude that set them apart (unfortunately). They cared about the student body, curriculum, what was happening with S.G.A. and in Faculty Senate. They cared. They also realized that the things and people on this campus are inter-related. So they understood that problems come from a lack of not paying proper attention. . , 1 hope that the people in S.G.A., student media, the administrative and teaching facility of Merrimack wiU let their courage surface that they can care to be mnovative and fair while dealing with the problems they will be facing this year Those are the problems you will be reading about m this newspaper. And those are the issues I hope our student body responds to in letters, speech, and actions. 1 have faith that we students will respond, that the attitude of Pirgers did not wholly depart the school. — Karl Cicitto 38 It is time to refine the thoughts which were expressed in my editorial of last week. The primary purpose of the editorial was to state some obvious truths about our position as students. In many ways, we are responsible for the situat ion we must endure. Frequently you hear the stories about how maintenance does not repair rooms although the resident is charged the cost of the repair. Often you hear how a student is graded on the basis of his personality and not his work. Many times you hear that when a man is caught in a room after parietal hours that he is reprimanded while the woman is fined and loses her parietal privileges. Do these occurrences sound right to you? Apparently, injustices such as these are merely the topic of conversation but not united action. In my editorial of last week 1 tried to briefly state that it is within our rights and power as students to demand that injustices be ended. 1 failed in that statement. By overemphasizing our importance, however, things have become clearer and the obvious truth of our importance is intact. The administration does fail to do its job in some basic areas concerning students. And rather than tersely state, as I did last week, that we pay the bills here, and we can demand change, 1 will say this: As students, we have an obligation to see that things get better. An investment for education at Merrimack will not be a sound one for residents in particular untU we attend the defects, study the alternatives and then apply our influence maturely. These observations au-e more than just passing thoughts, please take note. Unless we reedize that it is irresponsible to see the problems and not act, the problems will not clear up. There is too solid an anti-student rights attitude among administrators for us to expect them to clear the problems up without our applying pressure. 1 submit that one who rocks the boat at this college does put himself in a precarious position. But it is only by rocking the boat that we can splash a bit of reality (and insight) into the faces of those administrators who see the problems but feel uncommitted to positive change. If we do act it would invalidate the feeling of non-committment to change which results from a past lack of student response to their efforts. First, we need to splash a bit of readity on ourselves so that our self-importance will become evident. Second, we need to apply our rightful authority to improve Merrimack College. Then and only then wdl we rock the boat sufficiently to change things. At that point, reality will probably descend in buckets. Karl J.

I I Letter To The Editor I Dear Sir, J I commend the Warrior for the interest taken in an I important issue now facing the College -forming a faculty i union for the purposes of engaging in collective bargaining. I j do, however, feel the need to point out some inaccuracies which appeared in a recent article (17 Sept. 1976) on the ( subject. 1) The Faculty Senate mandated the study of collective ; bargaining in March 1974. Two subsequent salary and benefit ; committees (that of 1974 5 and of 1975 6) studied the subject. • A report on collective bargaining was made by each I committee at the conclusion of the academic year, in 1975 and in 1976. 2) It is not correct to say “a secret faculty vo te was J taken.” In May 1976 a small group of my colleagues and I ■ passed “authorization and designation” cards and asked fellow , faculty members to sign them. When 30% of the prospective • members of a proposed bargaining unit thus “manifest I interest” in organizing, the National Labor Relations Board ( (NRLB) is routinely called in to run a “representation I election” to determine if a majority of those eligible to join a • union do indeed want to form one. These “A and D” cards remain confidential. With the exception of the dozen or so I faculty members who gave me signed cards, I do not know i who signed and who did not. But I do know that over 50% of I the prospective union members did sign such cards. Signing ; one of these cards, it is important to note, merely “manifests ' interest”; it does not commit anyone who signed to vote a certain way in the subsequent election. 3) If there is any disagreement over who is eligible to vote in a representation election (there generally is; there was in our case), the NLRB routinely holds a “unit determination hearing.” This took place in Boston on 7-8 July 1976. Briefs were filed by the faculty and administration lawyers in late August. We expect a ruling from the NLRB late in September ■ 1976. 4) I thought the article’s discussion of closed, union, agency, and open shops confusing. The terms were correctly defined. However, I assume that no one who is opposed to a faculty union would want to be required to join one. Furthermore, my colleagues and I who are promoting collective bargaining want membership to be absolutely voluntary. Thus the issue of “which type of union will represent the faculty’s best interest” sic does not arise: if all are in favor of an open shop, then this is not an issue requiring resolution. 5) A recent survey reveals that a few colleges have opted for agency or for union shops. Thus the information I provided the Warrior’s reporters -that aU college-university unions were open shop (based on Carr and Van Eyck, Collective Bargaining Comes to Campus, 1973) is no longer true. Very Sincerely, Bill Bingham Editorial Reply Mr. Bingham: Thank you for taking the time to draft and submit an informative letter as you did. There was a quality of impreciseness in the Warrior’s first article on Unionization, I admit, and I’m sure your letter will help to alleviate any confusion that vague language may have caused last week. Your comments, and those of Merrimack’s Attorney Earl Brown have provided the Warrior with the basic information needed to more adequately represent the efforts to unionize. The guidance you and Mr. Brown gave me is of the kind I hope will never be withheld. And now, with the specifics of the Unionization process clearly in mind, this reporter’s attention turns to the effects of that process. More specifically, what effects will the potential Union have on students? So at this point I must readdress this editorial . Fellow Students: Very soon the National Labor Relations Board will reveal their decision as to what faculty members will be allowed to vote in the general faculty election concerning a Union. A short period will follow their decision and then the election will be held. To some it may appear the Unionization issue is an Administration Faculty concern and that the student body has little or no business asking questions about it. I contend otherwise. If and when a Union is voted in. Union and Administration representatives will debate the terms of contract. The terms of that potential agreement could affect A PAY RAISE COULD BE DISCUSSED: A decision in this area could affect tuition, with the cost of attending Merrimack increasing if Teachers’ salaries do. THE TERMS OF TENURE COULD BE DIS- CUSSED: How should it be decided which faculty stay and depart? How best can the lemons be sorted from the peaches? And how can stale, tenured professors be revitalized? The answers to these questions are important to us since the performance of faculty directly affects our scholastic performance. And our performance here will affect us er graduation. There may be other areas in which a Union could affect us students. But the two listed here would certainly be prominent among them. That goes to show that when one talks Union at this college, he is not just talking about Faculty and Administration. He is talking about students. Yes, we must keep ourselves abreast in this matter, and tend the interests of this student body and the ones which will follow us. -Karl Ctcitto P.S. I don ' t think we should have to wait a week to find out )he answers to the trivia questions. leant stand the suspense. Why can’t you print the answers in another part of the paper? P.S. To Prof. Bingham: The Warrior wovld actually prefer to print trivia answers in the same issue as the pertinent trivia questions. However true suspense, the editorial staff feels, should not he limited to Ellery Queen Novels and five part animal serials shown on the Wonderful World of Disney. We will pursue our present format. 39 Carter Edges Ford in Student Poll by Karl Cicitto Few student Voting Total: Jimmy Carter 41.2% Gerald Ford 38.9% Abstensions 13.7% Write-ins 6.2% Junior Vote Carter 45% Ford 42% Write-in 7.5% Abstained 5.0% Senior Vote Carter 26.7% Ford 56.7% Write-in 6.7% Abstained 9.9% Freshman Vote Carter 41.8% Ford 30.2% Write-in 2% Abstained 26% Sophomore Vote Carter 30.7% Ford 50.0% Write-in 11.5% Abstained 7.8% Commuter Vote — 64.5% for Carter, 35.5% for Ford Resident Vote — 42.5% for Carter, 57.5% for Ford Voting by Students registered with Democratic Party Ford Carter Abstained Write-In 23.2% 58.4% 13.9% 4.5% Voting by Students registered with Republican Party Ford Carter Abstained Write-in 76.8% 23.2% 0% 0% Voting by Students registered as Independant Ford Carter Abstained Write-in 49.1% 31% 10.5% 9.4% Voting by Students who are not Registered V oters Ford Carter Write-in Abstained 20% 45% 5% 30% Voting by Students whose homes are located in Massachusetts Ford Carter Write-ins Abstained 37.1% 39.7% 7.7% 15.5% Voting by Students from out-of-state Ford Carter Write-in Abstained 48% 39.2% 1.9% 10.9% How Students Voted as relates to their majors; Majors in each of the following Divisions: Ford Carter Write-in Abstained Social Sciences 42.7% 42.7% 3.3% 11.3% Humanities 51.6% 38.7% 9.5% 0% Science and Engineering 27.6% 41.3% 6.7% 24.4% Business 41.6% 39% 4.8% 14.6% The student body of Merri- mack College has expressed its diverse political stance.

Though that number of students is only one- twelfth of the overall day school enrollment, the closeness of this Presidential preference poll coin- cides with the nationwide cam- paign. Both reflect that opinion on who should be the next Presi- dent is almost evenly balanced; the race is close.

Augustinians Remain Committed to College 6v Chuck Jean No one doubts that the Augustinians at Merrimack Col- lege are an integral part of the institution In fact, the nature of this College might be substantially different if they were not present However, one observes that of the more than 100 faculty members at Merrimack, relatively few are members of the Order of St Augustine. Presently, there are fourteen Augustinians here, six of whom teach full-time The remaining eight are involved mainly in administrative and campus minis- try duties. Five years ago, there were seven more Augustinians here than there are now. The indicated decrease has been large- ly a result of the fact that the Order of St. Augustine has been subject to a declining member- ship. like many other religious Orders. Less manpower has forced the Order to adapt itself while facing the needs it serves. How this will affect Merrimack College and the role that Augustinians have here is therefore a serious and important question. First of all, it is important to understand the relationship be- 40 tween Augustinians and the Col- lege. The Order of St. Augustine might best be said to “sponsor” Merrimack. It does not own Merrimack Real control of the college is in the Board of Trustees as stipulated in the College’s charter from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This means that Augustinians have to apply for a position here like everyone else does. Furthermore, Merrimack is just one of three institutions of higher learning that the Augustin- ians are associated with in the Province (the others being Vill- anova University in Pennsulvania and Biscayne College in Florida). Also, the Order is involved in secondary education and parish work Merrimack therefore has to “compete.” as it were, for Augus- tinian manpower. According to Rev. Joseph Kelley, the Augustinians presently working here “are sincerely dedi- cated to Merrimack and want to see it continue as a viable Catholic College serving the needs of society and the contemporary Church.” Some favorable news in relation to this is that there is one more Augustinian here this year than there was last year Young Augustinians have been coming to the College the last few years and, said Fr Kelley, “we are anticipating a further increase in the number of men in our community here at Merrimack over the next few years ” He also pointed out that as Augustinians must apply for a position here like everyone else, they must meet the required standards: “The College is very concerned that Augustin- ians be qualified, we don’t just want Augustinians for the sake of having them.” Kelley is convinced that his Order is solidly committed to continued support of Merrimack College. The Order has had to re-evaluate itself and determine which needs it can best and most effectively serve with its limited resources, but higher education has remained an essential area A large thrust of the effort to adapt has been made at the secondary school level. The Augustinians have left several high schools in the last few years. Kelley’s optimism appears to be borne out by facts. Rev. John O’Malley, Dean of Humanities, is one member of the Province’s four-member Commission on Higher Education. He said that the commission is highly commit- ted to continued Augustinian support of higher education in general, and Merrimack College in particular. The commission sent a report to the Province’s Planning Commission on October 1, stating just that The reply to this report was that, “the Planning Commis- sion, receiving the report of the Commission on Higher Education, recognizes and endorses the com- mitment of the province to the Apostolate of higher education. Indeed, the Planning Commission considers such a commitment one of the priorities of this Province.” This does not necessarily assure Merrimack of a certain number of Augustinians in the coming years. As already men- tioned, proper qualifications are necessary for obtaining a position here. Also, the college must attract Augustinians, as they are no longer simply assigned without consultation but can negotiate their assignments. The college can make its needs known to the Augustinians, but members of the Order must respond. Kelley said, however, that | most Augustinians feel that Merri- mack is an appealing place to work. In fact, there are a number of Augustinians who would like to come to Merrimack but either because of needs elsewhere or the lack of proper qualifications, they can’t come. He also stated that Merrimack’s Campus Ministry Of- fice is one of the best anywhere in the area, an indication that the college is attracting good people. | One big attraction Merrim..ck has , in relation, say, to Villanova is its i size Merrimack’s relatively small i community is appealing to many • people. The Augustinians’ continued presence at this college is based on the belief that they “still have a ' role to play within this institution for the good not only of the institution itself, but for widei society,” as Kelly put it It must not be forgotten, however, that their presence is financially bene ficial to the college also. They receive a normal salary for theii work here, but return 90% o what IS left over after they take out living expenses. This amount ed to about $90,000 last year.

What’s Left of The Left Where the political left is concerned, 1976 was an enigma that failed to point to anything conclusive. There is neither the great hope nor the great fear of years past. In that sense, the left is no different from anyone else. F.very prediction of this country’s political future must wait until the Carter Administration begins to take shape. Still, some things can be seen through the Carter-in- duced haze. The Democratic Party, still the “mainstream” force for many leftists, is fast abandoning whatever improvements it made during the McCarthy-McGovem reform era. The only so-called “liberal” to receive serious presidential consideration this year was Morris Udall, whose liberal credentiails were dubious at best. The party platform was designed to be inoffensive, so it did not address itself to the basic social, political and economic problems of this country. Encouraged by the election of their latest glamour boy, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the cold war liberal establishment -those wonderful folks who broueht you Vietnam, among other atrocities — is coming out of the woodwork en masse, determined to drive the McGovernites and the McCarthyites out of the party. If that happens, it will be a sure sign that the Democrats have learned nothing from Vietnam, and are doomed to commit similar disasters. Self-destruction is something of a leftist tradition, and 1976 was no exception. In New York, California, Vermont and other states, liberal candidates devestated each other and helped insure the election of conservative candidates. If the left is to defeat its opponents, it will have to stop continually defeating itself. Despite the lack in recent years of the great social upheavals that inspired it, the New Left is still alive. It has adapted to the seventies by shifting its focus from mass protest to community activism, such as the anti-nuclear protest at Seabrook, and to working within institutions, such as the new militancy in the steel workers’ union. But long gone, thcmkfully, are the lot of clowns, fools and frauds who were the media heroes of the sixties New Left. By now, most of them (Eldridge Cleaver, Timothy Leary, Jerry Rubin, etc. etc. ad nauseum) have either dropped out of politics to follow overweight teenage Indian gurus or whatever, or have lovingly embraced the people they on ce called “pigs”. Brother Eldridge is now to the right of Ronald Reagan and Doctor Tim has written in the pages of Bill Buckley’s rag, denouncing his old radical friends who sprung him from jail. Even Tom Hayden, who for a while seemed more sincere than the aforementioned buffoons and charlatans, proved to be not much better. His “new politics” campaign for the Senate disgustingly resembled the old politics, as his opponent’s sex life became his main issue. So much for “The Revolution.” As the seventies fade and the Carter era begins, the left will be confronted with new challenges and opportunities. As an increasing number of Americans become disillusioned and dissatisfied with economic and political conditions in this country, the left must offer them an alternative. If the recent past is any indication, 1 believe it can. The left, especially the New Left, was in the forefront of the anti-war and civil rights movements, both of which eventually were endorsed by the vast majority of Americans. Whether or not that alternative can be offered within the Democratic Party depends, as do so many other things, on The Man from Plains. Looking Back At The Future by William Connell A few weeks ago, an extremely ideali.stic ultra-liberal friend of mine, that I hadn’t seen in years, paid a surprise visit to me. We started to talk about different things on our minds and most of it was point-of-view politics. Then my friend made a rather bizarre statement, “Will,’’ he said, “I always look back at the’GO’s as the greatest point in American social history. Great social changes were born, the people demanded that their rights be guaranteed (women, blacks, gays, etc. .), and everyone did their own thing (individualism). This country realized war and hatred was wrong and that love and peace is where it was at. The people stood up to Big Business and the “police-state” government by letting them feel the might of the people’s power and voice. So many great events occured and hopefully the’70’s will finish off where the ’60’s began” Like I said, I thought this statement was a little wierd. True, a lot of good social changes that were sorely needed grew out of the ’60’r,, although some of them were gro.ssly perverted. Yes, the ’60’s made important advancements in civil rights, individuality, equality, consumerism, the environment, and many other worthwhile move- ments. Yet, despite the many benefits from the causes of the’60’s, a good number of these movements went into the extreme. When I think of the ’60’s, 1 think of how individualism (or the “do your own thing” fad) was used as a front for hypocrites, liars, phonies, cowards, and wierdoes. 1 think of mass-murderer Charles Manson and how he “expressed himself” as well as the radical and terrorist groups whose form of self-expression was through murder, destruction and out-and-out senseless violence. I think of Timothy Leary and how he caused a generation to turn on to LSD and ruin their lives by telling them that they “were doing their own thing.” When I think of the ’60’s, I think of how civil rights was taken to the extreme. 1 think of how a cop would have to read a confessed murderer’s rights (and if didn’t, the killer would be set free) as the killer’s victim received his last rites. The crook had his rights protected but what about the law-abiding victim’s right to live? Why is the cop’s right to “do his thing” (which enforcing the law is) forgotten while he becomes a “pig” and his badge a target for some nut’s gun? Yes, minorities like the blacks and women have made some gains in civil rights, but what about reverse discrimination? Why do some whites find it hard to get into a school or a job that exchanges a person’s abilities for a person’s skin, sex, or religion? What about the rights of the unborn who are slaughtered every day in abortion clinics? What about the rights of these people? When 1 think of the ’60’s, I remember how it is described as a “decade of peace and love.” I also remember the assasinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and Medgar W. Evers. I remember how Pope Paul VI was attacked but unharmed by a knife-wielding maniac in Manila, 1970. I think back to the brutal murders of the 3 young civil rights workers in the South, the terror tactics by the Ku Klux Klan, Charles Manson, Attica prison riot, the Viet-Nam war, the horror at Kent State as well as the student riots all across the country, and many, many more examples. The ’60’s, especially the late ’60’s, were probably the most violent years in American social history since the Prohibition Era’s increased gangsterism. (Note: That stemmed from a bunch of liberal do-gooders who wanted to “save” America from the “evils of alcohol.”) Finally, when I think of the ‘60’s, 1 think of all those people who were quick to destroy all the traditions, institutions, and systems in America but offered little (or no better) solutions. “Down With Big Business,” “God is Dead,” and “Do it,” were the popular slogans at the time. Translated, it meant, “Tear down everything now and well substitute it with something else when we get around to it.” After all the yelling and hoopla faded away, all that was left was a fragmented, tired, disillusioned and depressed society in the ’70’s. Yes, whenever I think of the ’60’s, I think of how a nation of people were swayed by an influence called extreme idealistic liberalism. The American people wanted to create a Shangri-La, but in so doing a good deal of them avoided reality, responsibility, and the work it takes to make a dream come true. And the ’70’s? Well, it’s an extension of the ’60’s but a lot different from it. Apathy and disenchantment have infected America. There is a slow but noticible swing to the right; the popularity of sock-it-to-the-crook films like “Death Wish”, unanimous support for law and order, and the popular belief flourishing in the nation to conserve (instead of reckless spending and waste) are a few examples of this swing. However, the ’70’s are not better than the previous decade. We have experienced Watergate, New York going bankrupt, and increased Federal involvement in t he lives of the American people, just to name a few. There ' s still a chance, though. There’s still next year and the rest of the ’70’s that you and I, the college student, can fight for the country’s future as well as ours. We can accomplish a great deal working within the system and using clear-cut common sense for realistic goals. We won’t get anywhere being spaced out and throwing temper tantrums when we can’t achieve the dream like ideals and fantaises our sights have been prematurely set upon. If we don’t wake up and if we allow this decade’s apathetic trend to continue . . . well, 1984 is just around the corner. I ' i Republicans Voted voted were Independants and Democrats. The figure that 76.8% of Republicans voting supported Ford may be misleading. Ford was indeed defeated in this poll, but apparently would have won if I more Republicans had voted i (Carter received only 58.4% of the Student Democratic vote, and would have clearly been out- ) distanced if more Republicans had I voted on Tuesday). Carter’s I margin of victory was only 2.3%. Sweeney, Novak New Ph.D.’s by Lee Lebowitz Professor James Sweeney of the Philosophy Department re- cently attained his Doctorate from Washington University. Swe- eney earned this B.A. at Manhat- tan College, graduating in 1966 with a double major of Philos- ophy and History. Sweeney also ecu-ned his Masters at Washington University. His Doctoral thesis was entitled “Scientific Explana- tion in Archaeology.” Dr. Sweeney held the position of Teaching Assistant at Washing- ton University, teaching a course in Ethics. Simultaneously, he was also the Assistant Editor of a journal titled “Philosophy of Science.” Dr. Sweeney’s first full time teaching job was here at Merri- mack. He has taught classes in Introduction to Philosophy, Con- temporary Man, Logic, and Philos- ophy of Science. He hopes to teach a course in computer theory as it relates to Philosophy of Science and Logic. Joan Novak, of the Religious Studies Department has all but officially joined the ranks of those who own Ph.D’s. Novak success- fully defended her dissertation in October. She will receive her Ph.D officially in December from the University of Iowa. Professor Novak’s dissertation is entitled: “Science: Dilemma and Opportu- nity for Christian Ethics; Jacob Bronowski a case study.” Novak took her first degree at University of Nebraska as she attained a Bachelor of Science in Zoology and Chemistry. Unlike others who take a break from studies by diversifying their non - academic exp)erience (i.e., travel- ing), Novak broke from her studies in science by pursuing Religious Studies. She graduated Branca Joins Cont. Ed On July 1, Dr. Branca assumed the duties of Assistant Dean of Continuing Education, bringing five years experience teaching English at Merrimack to her new job.

Why Study Philosophy? Quite often the question is rais- ed: Why study philosophy or; W’hat can one do with o B.A. degree in philosophy. In many cases the questioner implies that the study of philosophy is “useless . When raising the question of usefulness, one has to ask of course: useful for what . As to the study of philosophy, two kinds of usefulness can be pointed out: First of all, studying philosophy is of uttermost usefulness for the individual study- ing it insofar as it helps him to free himself from the prejudices of the tradition in which he grew up, enabling him to develop his own worldview as a basis for his theoreti- cal and practical life. Many Ameri- cans say we don’t have time to cultivate our own personality. But why work and earn a lot of money if not ultimately to enable us to live a meaningful life as fully developed persons. But it is correct when an old proverb says that even a philosopher has to eat. Now, the study of philo- sophy can and has been useful also in this sense, namely that it prepares for money earning jobs. A bachelor ' s degree in philosophy is looked upon by many employers as a good background for government and in- dustrial administration, for mana- gerial positions in business, for communications systems and human services. A strong concentration in philosophy on the undergraduate level is also an excellent preparation for graduate studies in various fields, particularly in law, literature, psychology, sociology and other closely related areas. In a recent letter to the chair- man, a Merrimack College graduate, presently studying and teaching at a major university, attests to the validity of the above claim concern- ing graduate studies. He writes: “There are several reasons why I believe my philosophy proved to be invaluable to my present work in English: Philosophy has developed my critical powers which enable me to examine a writer’s shortcomings, methodology and system of thought. Many times writers freely bor- row from several systems of thought without recognizing many of the inconsistencies this eclecticism fos- ters (i.e. Emerson, Shelley) It is impossible to fully under- stand many poets and writers with- out a working knowledge of their philosophic antecedents (i.e. cole- ridge’s theory of literature is firmly based in Kant). Examining philosophical texts which prog ress logically has given me a point of reference in evaluating freshmen comps which are struc- turally anything but logical. But most of all philosophy has acquainted me with the whole pan- orama of human thought: invaluable in approaching literature, the muse of human thought and aspiration. Philosophy has broadened my perspectives in approaching life aesthetically. My poetry reflects this spirit of inquiry into life’s mystery. Quite immediately, I am deeply involved in researching literary phe- nomenology: an undertaking quite beyond all my fellow grad students without this philosophic background in existentialism. I’m plowing through Poulet, Rousset and Bache- lard presently. .... Philosophy has been in- valuable to me — both as a student and person ....’’ Dr. Geraldine Brar Asst. Dean of Cont.

Under the direction of garden coordinators Ken Laverriere and Tom Pesce, thirty or so students began clear- ing and planting as early as March of this year. The garden, which is approximately V acre in size, produced many different kinds of vegetables which were distributed in a non profit basis. English Dept. Has Two New Profs by Anne Sheehy Lowell University’s loss is our gain. After a year of departure. Professor Jean Davis returned to the staff of the English Dept. A native of Peabody, Mass., Ms. Davis received her Masters Degree in English at Boston College. Her other graduate work was completed at Oxford University in England and at Boston University. The Professor is currently attending law school at Boston College. A warm feeling was expressed by Ms. Davis when she said: The closeness between faculty and stu- dents is one of Merrimack’s greatest assets. Professor Jean Davis ended the interview by telling this report er: “The class of 1980 will be the best class she ever taught. Professor John Fleming, an a- lumnus of Merrimack College, has joined the staff of the English Dept. Mr. Fleming attended Southern Illinois University to attain his Masters Degree in English. With degree in hand. Prof. Fleming proceeded to Bowling Green State University in Ohio and received his Ph.D. in Restoration of 18th Cen- tury and Popular Culture. Since the Professor is a recent graduate of Merrimack, he express- ed a sincere congeniality with stu- dents: “A bit like coming home since the students now seem to be nearly as serious as were my classmates in He has written 17 articles and co-authored two Air Force books on Logistics. Mr. Ducharme looks forward developing rapport with stu- the golden days of Merrimack Col- lege. The students seem eager and hardworking.’’ Professor Kenneth Wadoski has joined the staff of the Sociology Department. Mr. Wadoski was born in Boston, but grew up in Lexington, Ma. His educational background is excellent. He received his B.A. in History from the University of Massachusetts, achieved his M.A. in History from Northeastern Univer- sity, and attained his Ph.D. in Sociology from Boston College. Dur- ing his term at B.C., Prof. Wadoski was elected to Alpha Kappa Delta (the National Sociology Honor Soci- ety). Professor Wadoski has a pleasant outlook on Merrimack: “In general I enjoy teaching in the setting provid- ed by a small Liberal Arts School. The diversity of student interests seems to make for more stimulating classes. For the past two years, I taught at North Adams State Col- lege, and although comparisons might tend to overgeneralize, I have found the students at Merrimack better prepared for college and more enthusiastic about their academic experience.” Prof. Wadoski teaches Intro, to Sociology and Political Sociology, and in the spring he hopes to offer a course in Social Psychology. dents, inviting all his students to stop in his office to chat. He hopes his students will not be afraid to stop by, stating, “I don’t bite.” The Merrimack campus gar- den was realized through a joint effort between members of the college population and the sur- rounding commun ity. Advice was given by Professors Gregoire and Frain, and teachers like Ford Stone helped with the chores involved. Money and materials came from donations made by different cmapus organizations as well as several community groups. The college administration co- operated by volunteering the school tractor and truck to be used for hauling and doing other various chores. The school also allowed a pipe to be run from the back of Monican Centre to the garden for irrigation. In return, coordinators made large efforts to conserve on water wherever pos- sible. Most watering was done at night to prevent any unnecessary evaporation. For this same reason, hay mulching was employed. By disallowing any needless evapora- tion, only a minimal amount of water was utilized. The produce of the garden, which included such vegetables as corn, lettuce, string beans, carrots and many different varieties of squash, was distributed to groups and individuals in the area. Some of the harvest was given to students who participated in the garden project and to other students residing in off-campus apartments during the summer. The remaining produce was distri- buted among the school cafe- teria, which remains in operation throughout the summer; the se- curity force, who cooperated fully in the effort; and Latch Key, an organization providing free lunches for children in the Law- rence area. Although all of the vegetables were given away this summer, there are plans for the eventual sale of produce in the future. This year, coordinators and workers plan to begin plant- ing as early as February and are hopeful that they will yield an even greater harvest. The merrimack garden is an important step on the part of this college and its population toward improving the environment and aiding our ecology. Through the interest and concern of many faculty members, students and administrative personnel, Merri- mack college is contributing in its own way toward decreasing an impending food shortage, while at the same time increasing aware- ness of the possibility each person has to add something to his environment. 43 Personals Parietal Petition Submitted Security — WE LOVE YOU! Very truly, Giggles 1 and 2 by Gary Muldoon Many students would like to see changes here at Merrimack. Some sit back and do nothing to intiate change. They may do a lot of talking but never to the right people, thus the status quo remains. There are students, however, who want change and who take definite steps to get it. An excellent example of this intitative is a petition now being circulated by a group of residents from Monican. This petition, which has already been signed by approxi- mately 300 residents of the dorms, calls for an extension of parietals throughout 23 hours of the day. The New People in the People Business by Charles Jean The staff of Campus Ministry has four new faces this semester. These new people represent a wide variety of backgrounds, interests and tal- ents. Yet, they share a common enthusiasm and willingness to work together as a team. Bringing a female influence to the staff is Sister Raphael Fahy, who has extensive experience with dif- ferent cultures and knowledge of world problems. She is a member of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary and has a Masters in Theology and another in Education. She studied in Rome and at the Univer- sity of San Francisco. Sister Raphael has spent a num- ber of years teaching on the college level and is an experienced counsel- or. Consequently she has traveled and taught all over the world. Sister Raphael has taught children of Ambassadors in Rome, worked with “coloureds”, Asians, whites and blacks in Rhodesia, and the farm workers of Delano, California. While traveling in South Africa and India, Raphael witnessed extreme poverty and social injustices. She is willing to share her experiences with all. Global social problems are of special concern to Sister Raphael. She regards her work in bringing coloureds, whites, blacks and Asians together into one school “the most exciting thing that happened during my very happy time in Africa . From six schools, five of which were segregated colleges, Raphael select- ed an inter racial class of students. She successfully initiated and pro- moted this fii time event (in Rhodesia) the tact of which was to create consciousness and mutual understanding among its students. Sister Raphael’s job in Campus Nfinistry wdU largely be to “encour- age the involvement of students and faculty in meaningful relationships with the less fortunate of our local and outer community. Another area of concern to Raphael is in raising the conscious- ness of the women on campus so they may “discover their potential to contribute to the shaping of a more peaceful world”. Deacon Gary McCloskey will be a member of the ministry for the fall semester. His time at Merrimack is actually a Deacon internship, and is part of his preparation for the priesthood. Besides training lectors for Sunday services, Gary will aid Raphael with the volunteer service projects. A member of the Augustinians, deacon Mc(]loskey attended Villano- va University and has taken his Masters degree in Theology from Catholic University. Presently he is working on a Masters degree in Semitic languages. Father Denis Wilde is yet anoth- er of the new Campus Ministry staff members. He has a great interest in music and will divide his time between the Choral Society and his Ministry duties. Fr. Wilde has been with the Augustinians since 1960. Once a student in Rome, Fr. Wilde has a B.A. in Philosophy, and M.A. ' s in Theology and Music. He has taught at nearby Austin Prep, and was an associate pastor for five years at St. Augustine’s Parish in Lawrence. He has also composed music and is involved with the Clharismatic Re- newal movement. One of Fr. Wilde’s main goals is to build up the Choral Society and bring out the musical talent of Merrimack’s population. He feels that the Choral Society is a good way of bringing p)eople together. Father Wilde is the moderator of the freshman class and hopos to even- tually join the faculty. Father Wilde will also be work- ing with the Ministry St 2 iff in any capacity where he will be useful. He has a certain outlook on p)eople, stating, one should emphasize “who p)eople are more than what they do”. He feels that Campus Ministry should, among other things, unify the various segments and divisions among the college community as a whole. Father would like to see the Ministry bring about coop)eration rather than comp)etition within our community. Brother Thomas Keeley has also recently joined the staff of Campus Ministry. In addition to his duties as dorm minister at Monican Center, Tom is a fulltime faculty member, teaching nine hours of Religious Studies p)er week. Brother Keeley went to Villano- va and was a pre-med graduate in 1973. He then took up Theology, “on a whim , as he puts it, eventually finding Theology interesting and personally valuable. In fact, he found his niche in religious studies and took his Masters in it, thereby eliminating his plans to attend medical school. There is a parallel. Brother Keeley says, between his role as an Augustinian and his role in Campus Ministry. The team is “interested in establishing a Christian community and building a faith community”, just as the Augustinian order is. As a dorm minister, Tom hopjes to make himself available to the needs of others. He wishes to share his faith commitment with others. For Br. Keeley, studying ' Theo- logy pjersuaded him to become involved in a non-ordained Ministry. As an Augustinian, he is a member of a group which “comes together to be of one mind and one heart, to establish a faith community”, and to be committed to one another. Hence, he has chosen a vocation which does not include ordination. He will, however, be taking his final vows to the Augustinian ()rder on Oct. 3 at 11:00 a.m. Mass. petition reads as follows: “We the undersigned of Monican and Austin Centers, request that the present system of parietals be replaced by one in which parietal privileges would be extended throughout 23 hours of the day. Such a system will promote responsibility and the free- dom that is now guaranteed under law “Under this proposed system, a sign-in procedure could be kept to prevent unwanted individuals from entering the dorms. Residents who do sign guests in would be responsi- ble for the actions of their guests. “ “To help Merrimack move into the higher ranks of academic institu- tions, a system with proper regard for the rights and dignity of the indi- vidual should be established. It is for these reasons that this petition has been prepared and signed. The students involved in circu- lating this petition have expressed a positive attitude in regard to having this change come about. Their atti- tude was perhaps best summed up in the following statement made by one of the coordinators of this drive: “There is a general feeling among the students that they don ' t have the power to change school policy. If they can change things the situation would change. It doesn ' t pay to sit back and do nothing. This petition, with its 300 signa- tures, was presented to the Asso- ciated Student Union at its Nov. 10 meeting. LETTER No Apathy at Rec Room Dear Editor: Last week there was an item i that made mention of student ; apathy on campus. While student , participation may be suffering in i some instances, such is not the ■ case in the student - run recrea- tion room located in the basement of Austin Center. Bert Hammel, the assistant i Dean of Men, initiated the effort ' to create and maintain a facility where students can go to spjend a i few relaxing hours. The Rec Room now has a i new color television, two ping- pong tables, two pinball machines ■ and a p)ool table. The employees of the Rec. Room are on duty . whenever it is opjen to ensure t smooth opjeration and to collect i nominal charges for some of the activities. They also serve hot dogs and beverages at the kitchen. Judging by the weekend exodus you might think that Merrimack is becoming a “suitcase school,” but the student response at the Rec Room indicates other- wise. The students have expressed favorable opinions and back this up by their continued presence and patronage. David Ells Dean’s Happy With There are a total of 15 R.A.’s on staff, 7 of which are residing at Monican Center (including 2 men). Of the remaining 8 residing at Austin, two are women. Parietal prpeedure has chang- ed somewhat beciuse the� R.A. is now responsible to make sure any non-resident reports to the desk during parietal hours. This applies to females visiting Monican or males visiting Austin. Choosing R.A.’s is of extreme importance in setting the stand- ards of dormitory life. “The R.A.” states Dean O’Neil, “is chosen for (his or her) sincere interest, leadership qualities and stability.’’ The Dean then went on to reaffirm the importance of the student body relationship with the Administration. This relation- ship involves the R.A. who en- forces the rules and the Academic Congress, who along with the Administration aided in rule mak- ing. While it is too early to fully evaluate the success of coed living, the present indications seem fa- vorable. Jan Hotham, R.A. at Monican Center, summed up her impres- sions of coed dorms by stating, “there has been more than enough cooperation on the part of all students. Every one has been just great.’’ BAND SESSION FOR ALL WHO ENJOY A GOOD GIG . . . Co-ed Dorms by Barbara Collins Merrimack College, with the introduction of a coed wing, is undergoing more than a change in the living environment of its students. According to Dean of Women, Virginia O’Neil, “Coed living will really be a positive influence toward civilizing resi- dent halls.” Dean O’Neil views the new living situation as an opportu- nity for personal growth. She further stated that to a great extent the reality of day to day living will hopefully eradicate the romantic illusions of coed life young people tend to have. The opportunity for social growth is ftot- the only benefit of coed living. Opening the coed wing will relieve to some extent the overcrowding in Austin and the financial burden of the Col- lege itself. Monican Center is now making use of more than 60 rooms which at this time last year, remained vacant because there were not enough women residents to occupy them. Both Deans O’Neil and Cun- ningham expressed satisfaction with the present success of dorm life ' The primary factor inducing that success is the Resident Advisor. BRING YOUR OWN INSTRUMENT 3:30 - TUESDAY, NOV. 9 - CUSHING 14 Dorm Council Will Begin Work In February by Bill Sheridan Currently drawing up its consti- tution for approval by the Dean is the Austin Center Dorm Council. Norman Kuiperi, originator of the Council, feels without a doubt that the new organization will be most beneficial to Austin ' s residents. The first objective of the Dorm Council will be to find out how students feel about Austin Center, and what changes, if any, should be made. This inquiry could be done quite easily by passing out an in depth questionnaire. Kuiperi feels the questionnaire is a way to “get it going , to learn of and attempt to meet residents ' needs. Regarding Parietals, Kuiperi stated that the Council has no plans other than to learn of residents ' needs via the questionnaire, to take its results and work from there. The structure by which the D.C.A.C. will promote change has been tentatively designed. The Council will approve motions, sub- mit them to the Dean of Men and his superiors for approval, and possible action. Kuiperi feels that after mid-Feb- ruary the Dorm Council will be nearly established, and will then officially begin to work for the resi dents of Austin. Kuiperi is optimistic about the Council ' s future activity, foreseeing money raising activities and a potential free year of hap penings and a free party. The Council could well employ Austin ' s new recroom for such money making social activities. Currently, the Council consists of: Bert Hammel • Moderator Dick Cain Advisor Norm Kuiperi Chairman Ed Daley Mark Duffy Hugh McKenzie Liliana Medaglia Ellen Naurus Peter Nau Ralph Rodriguez Membership is on a voluntary basis. When more than two individu- als per floor volunteer there must be an election. The Warrior wishes the Dorm Council the best of luck, realizing its potential value. The Warrior staff also realizes that there is an impor tant need for Council support by the Austin residents. PAPA LEONE’S SPAGHETTI DINNER Sunday, Nov. 7,5-9 P.M. Perkins Lounge Merrimack College Admission: Adults $3.50 Students $2.00 Children $1.50 Tickets Available At Campus Ministry Or at The Door 45 New Computer With Amazing Ability Arrives CAMPUS HUMOR You may have noticed a lot of digging going on around campus this week. You’re probably curious as to why the terra firma is being disrupted so. Well, we have conducted a random survey among random people on campus to get ran- dom responses to our random question of; “Why do you think they’re digging these big holes?” The responses to this poll showed a number of vari- ations. One person suggested that the Maintenance Dept, was holding burial services for a deceased clothesline. Another individual suggested that th e Administration was trying to strike oil on campus. A third person was of the opinion that the Fine Arts Dept, was digging a moat around Gildea to give the Student Union Building that quaint castle-like effect. Yet another, rather imaginative fellow came up with the idea that they were really fox holes for the all out confrontation, which is bound to come, between the professors who have telephones in their offices, and those who have to rely on a tin can and a string. As surprising as it may seem All of these responses are incorrect. However, after an exhaustive invest- igative search, we have learned the true reason for all of this, digging. These trenches are actually for computer lines so that each building on campus can have a remote terminal to the brand new computer in the computer center. In this way the Profs, of each dept, can play with this new computer from the privacy of their own offices. And what a computer it is! We have learned sources that this computer can do just about anything, including computer the exact statistics probability of a college student falling into a hole while walking along campus. Gary Muldoon m by Chuck Jean Merrimack’s Computer Center is now home for one of the finest computers in use. The Digital PDP 11 70 is the best in its line and is most-up to-date for teaching. The new computer is very ac- cessible and can handle a very heavy workload. To use the PDP 11 70, an individual would not necessarily have to go to the Computer Center in Gildea Hall. The current excava- tion which crisscrosses the campus is for the laying down of underground lines to connect the computer to other buildings. This will make the computer system accessible in all classroom buildings, the library and the administration building. With the present hardware, the sytem handles up to 16 simultaneous users, but can potentially accom- modate up to 63 users at once. ■© Professor Pavelcak, Director of the Computer Center, said that this will be great for the Business Depart- ment in O’Reilly. It will also be a big benefit to Administration, as Ad- missions and Registration will be converted from the old IBM 1130 to the new system. Other advantages of this system include its ability to use several computer languages as well as its not needing punched cards. This makes the computer more conven- ient to use than it otherwise would be. The educational consequences of the new system are substantial. It will provide a high level environ- ment for existing programs as well as allowing for new programs. According to Professor Pavelcak, the new computer has made it possible to introduce a Computer Science Major. Even though the excavation is just about complete, the computer system won’t be ready for a little whUe yet. Conduit has been laid underground, but the wire still has to be pulled through it. In the meantime, the computer system will be set up in a temporary way so that it can be used at the Computer Center. Photo: K.

Intermural Football Playoffs Kids, DPK Reign Again Merrimack Athletic Fields Chosen For Site Of New Nuke • by liif Jones ‘ For the second year m a row The Kids ( A ) and DPK (“B ) I were crowned intramural football champs. The Merrimack Intramural Football League “A” Division, consisted of 7 teams this year In order of finish, they were the Kids, the Bushwackers. BSE. , NPK. the (lOon Squad, APM and SBK The first place team. NKB, better known as the “Kids met the team of APM in the final game of the IFL playoff championship Actually, for both teams, the game was well balanced and well executed, both offensively and defensively. The first half was primarily a defensive battle First downs were few APM eventually did put points on the board. QB Dan Wilson threw a down-and-out-pass to Tom Ope and the receiver scampered down the line for 6 Steve Meyers caught the extra points. Baffled, the Kids had to settle for an 8-0 deficit at the end I of the first half. The second half was a com- I pletely different story. The Kids came onto the field with victory blood. Right away quarterback George Doynan called a back release to blocking back Pete I Couture and the Kids scored. The other blocking back Dave Healey, known as “Dancing Bear,” caught the extra points to tie the score at 8-all. These two blockers work well together. APM now with the ball back, could not move downfield. The fearsome rush of defensive ends Fred Nelson and Joe “T” Galla- , gher proved too much for the APM offense. APM blockers Tom Opie and Steve Meyers played well, yet often times the powerful rush resulted in sacks. The Kids offense rolled again. Quick passes to ends Brian O’Rea- gan and Joe Stagnone moved the club downfield. Inside APM’s 20 yard line, Dorman again hit j Couture on a release for 6. The extra points were stopped. The score was now 14-8, Kids favor. Again, with the ball back. APM wasn’t effective. They moved downfield. but once inside the 20. Ih.

Dennis Leonard threw a screen pass to Steve Johnson and the tall block- ing back raced up the sidelines for a 70 yard touchdown drive. Leonard ran in the extra points and DPK had an early 8-0 lead.

DPK tried to put the (tame away on their next possession but the Lancers defense stiffened and DPK failed to score on 4 downs inside the 5 yard line. The Lancers failed to generate any offense against the strong DPK defense and repeatedly found themselves in poor field position. DPK iced the game when Leonard passed 15 yards to Joe Bruno in the corner of the end zone.

Two weeks ago, the Warrior learned, (from sources close to the Maintenance Department), that the Merrimack athletic fields were one of the sites being considered. Realizing that release of such information could cause a major disturbance on campus, the Warrior decided to withhold the story until it was announced publically. Today it is official! James Nelson, President of Public Ser- vice Company, announced yester- day that construction of a 6.9 billion dollar Nuclear generator would begin in mid January. In his statement Mr. Nelson cited 2 of the advantages of building the generator at Merri- mack; 1) The proximity to Interstate 495 and route 114, which armored cars will use to trans port the radio-active waste, 2) The Company could rent one of the Merrimack labora tories for research, rather than having to build their own facilities. Mr Nelson also went on to say, The climate is right for a Nuke in North Andover. The people here love big business. Just look how long Mass. Electric has been here. ” When asked by this reporter how they planned to cool the atomic reactor, James Nelson replied that depth soundings con- ducted on the soccer field showed the presence of an unusually high water table. He went on to say wells would be sunk to take advantage of this situation. (As part of the agreement with the college, this heated water would be piped to both Austin and Monican halls for heating, bath- ing, and laundering purposes.) In a press release, the adminis- tration said that the money from the sale of the land, and the subsequent income resulting from the rental of parking places to employees of the power company. would be used to lower next year ' s tuition. However, because of the rental of one of the labs in Cushing Hall, second seme,ster Chemistry will have to be tempor arally cancelled. Tne Co-Op Department an- nounced that starting next semes- ter a Nuclear Science COOP Ibrogram will begin. Interested Students are invited to attend a special lecture entitled The liise of Nuclear Power or Up and Atom, to be presented in Perkins Lounge on Friday, December 17, at 7 :00 p.m. The Louis H Hamel Infirmary also issued a statement, and I quote, “All students with a known allergy to high levels of radiation are asked to report to the Infirmary for preliminary screening sometime between now and April 1, 1977. The reason they are using April first as a cut-off date is because by then everyone will realize that this article is nothing more than an early “April Fool’s” joke. Ski Trip From January 19 through ' the 23rd, many Merrimack students ended their semester break with the Annual Ski Trip to Mount Cranmore in North Conway, N.H. While at North Conway, guests were accommodated at the luxurious Forest Glen Inn. Breakfast included a large variety of selections — any- thing from “eggs fried to bananas sliced. After breakfast, it was off to the mountain!” where novice and experienced skiers alike took ad- vantage of the ski lessons provided in the package. Even those who needed resuscitation upon first view of the mountain were caught schuss- ing down from the summit by the third or fourth day. Fr. Walsh ' s mobile deli unit provided daily lunches. On two afternoons, a large contingency of students cheered Merrimack racers onto victory in the NASTAR races sponsored at Mount Cranmore. After dinner, skiers relaxed a- round the recreation room with entertainment provided by Fr. Walsh at the piano. Other nights were spent at the Red Jacket and the Alpine Inn. Five days of beautiful weather and excellent skiing conditions made the trip that much more enjoyable. This year ' s trip will be long remembered, - -It Was The Berries! Ski Bums, Inc. 47 Hockey Team Plays Buckeyes Next Week by M. Grywalski On November 4th and 5th Mer- rimack College will open its 76-77 hockey season with a two game series against the Buckeyes of Ohio State. With a nucleus of sixteen returning lettermen, this year’s squad will be skating four lines and three sets of defensemen. Captained by Paul Dunn and coached by Tom Lawler, Merrimack can look for a strong showing on the ice this year. Senior Jim Crouse with his record of 13 goals and 18 assists last year will skate left wing this season. He will be centered by newcomer Jim Toomey with alter- nate captain Pat LeBeau on the right wing. Rick Curran will center Brian Bullock (E.C.A.C. Rookie of the year) and Buddy Goodwin. Other offensive standouts are Juniors Frank Hanley, Brian Mur- phy and Greg Walker each of whom accounted for 27 points last season along with Randy Curran (22 pts.) and Murray Scudder (20 pts.). I ' he Defense looks solid with Senior Captain Paul Dunn pairing up with Junior Jack O’Neil while Tom Kilduff, back after a year’s absence, will team with Frosh Steve O’Sul- livan of South Boston. Merrimack’s final set of Defensemen feature Freshmen Mike Woodward from Burlington and Dean Fraser of Hyannis. In the goal the Warriors have a quartet of talented athletes led by Junior Jim De Simone of Medford and Sophomore Gilles Moffet of Beauport, Quebec. Coach Lawler, confident of a solid team that is not bothered by last year’s injuries, looks upon the upcoming season as a good one. EDITORIAL Religious Studies Major Worked On To the Community: I have resigned my Voluntary position a s Editor of the Merri- mack Warrior. My resignation is not due to pressure applied by administrators, faculty, parents or anyone other than myself. Regarding the Warrior, I must make some comments. The Student Newspaper was founded to give students experience in the field of journalism. It was not created to please its readership through entertainment. If you desire to be entertained I suggest you subscribe to a weekly humor magazine which will arrive every Friday. If you desire to stay in touch with what is happening politically, economically and socially to our student body, read the front page of the Warrior; It’s a pretty fair news guide. For six semesters consecutive now, the Warrioior has worked to earn respect as a tool of journal- ism and in that time it has experienced its share of success and failure. I believe that the managing Editors will remember the past few years in particular for in them it is evident what energy care and ability can effect when developed and applied. Moreover, I believe that the honor of the Warrior will best help them through times when they may be accussed of laziness, apathy and a lack of talent. As I sat in the bleachers during registration just past, some- thing occurred to me anew. I watched a bubbling mass engage in signups and remarked in thought how much better the Warrior would be if just 4 or 5 of those people would bring their energy to the Warrior office. Then I realized how unlikely it was for anyone down there to be aware of their own ability, of their poten- tial as college journalists. But I did not think no one cares. Some must have cared, else this very paper would not have been issued. Staff, Administrators, and Faculty who actively cared. Thank YOU! It is a pity, however, that if I counted you all on my fingers and toes, there would be no need to remove my shoes. Karl Cicitto by Chuck Jean The Religious Studies Depart- ment, headed by Rev. Kevin F. Dwyer, has been working hard to put together a program for a Reli- gious Studies Major. Merrimack presently does not offer such a major although the Religious Studies De- partment is well established here. A major in this area is still very un- certain, however, as the program presently being assembled must be presented to the college and be ap- proved by various committees. The move was actually prompted by a source outside the Merrimack College Community, although the Religious Studies Department has in the past proposed such a major. The idea came from the U.S. Catholic Conference, which is looking for an undergraduate. Catholic College to offer a degree in religious studies, with an emphasis on peer ministry. Last semester. Rev. Patrick O’Neill, who is chairman of the Planning Commission of the U.S. Catholic Conference, came to Merrimack and met with Fr. Dwyer, Rev. John P. O ' Mally, Dean of Humanities, and| Rev. Joseph D. Calderone, the headi of Campus Ministry. At that time, he expressed an interest in Merri-j mack’s offering the program. | According to Fr. Dwyer, O’Neillj explained that the American bishops; were concerned in the drop in vo- cations, and felt that a well-educated laity could carry on many of the same tasks. Under the plan, persons would be encouraged to get a degree and then work for their respective dioceses for a few years. As the col lege offering such a degree, Merri j mack would be serving the whole) country. j As one way to learn more about; this. Brother Thomas Keeley ati tended a conference on the Nationa Young Adult Ministry Program aw Biscayne College in Florida. As result of this and other informatioi seeking, the Religious Studies De partment decided that the progran and major would be worthwhUe. Besides merely meeting tht, needs of the bishops however, thi Religious Studies Major program L Warrior Management Changes 1 Karl J. Cicitto has officially resigned as Editor-in-Chief of the Warrior. His actions have brought about a change in the policy of the student newspaper. Prior to Cicitto ’s resignation, he was to finish out the year as editor and to work to insure a smooth transition of authority to the Warrior’s editor-elect, Barbara Collins (who will assume office in the Fall of 1977). For the time being, however, Cicitto will as- sume an advisory position with the Warrior, and work with managing editors Collins and Charles Jean. One of the major outcomes of Cicitto’s transference of au- thority to Collins and Jean is that the paper will now be published every other week. “This decision should have been made long ago,” stated Collins “We just don’t have a large enough staff to be putting out 5 weekly edition.” In order to gain a larger number of students to work on a part-time basis the Warrior has changed its weekly meeting to Wednesday at 3; 30 p.m. Hope- fully. this new time (past meetings have been held on Wednesday evenings) will attract commuter students who would otherwise have gone home. A lack of students willing to write remains the most serious of the problems for the Warrior. If more people would contribute everyone ' s commitment would be minimal agrees both Collins and Jean. Cushing Closed by Chuck Jean .An overheated boiler in Cushing Hall has left that building cold and quite useless, pending the comple- tion of installation of a new boiler. The overheating occurred on the evening of Wednesday, January 26, the second day of classes for the semester. At 10:40 p.m., security officers Don Porter and Kearn Knowles checked the building and noticed an abundance of steam and water coming from the boiler room. Upon investigating they found sparks in the flue and water leaking from pipes. A fire was burning in the boiler, so the main switch was pulled to stop it. Officers Porter and Knowles reported that the boiler box was white from the intense heat, and as a precautionary measure the North Andover Fire Department was asked to send a truck, which it did. Security Chief Kiley was notified of the incident, and he in turn notified Fr. Kenny. According to security police logs, Cushing had been checked at 10:00 p.m. that night and nothing unusual had been noted. From the informa- tion available so far, it appears that a water valve malfunctioned and thereby prevented water from en- tering the boUer, resulting in over- heating. A new boiler arrived in a matter of days, in disassembled form. Due to the threat of bad weather, the parts were stored in the boiler house (near Gildea Hall), and these parts are presently being brought from there to Cushing as they are needed in the assembly. It was not possible to contact either Ernie Pappalato, the plant heating engineer, nor Fr. Kenny, who is overseeing the new boUer in- stallation, to get further information on progress or other matters. They are presently bogged down with work on the project. Dukakis Appoints Aherne BOSTON — Governor Michael S. Dukakis has appointed Reverend John R. Aherne, president emeritus of Merrimack College, North Ando- ver, as a member of the Board of Library Commissioners. Rev. Aherne, 64, has 37 years of library experience, 14 of these as an active librarian. He created the library at St. Augustine High School in San Diego and expanded the book collection from 300 to over 7,000 titles. He served as president of Merri- mack College from 1968 to 1976, and played a key role in the planning and design of Merrimack’s McQuade Library. Rev. Aherne holds doctorates from Merrimack and Villanova Uni- versity, an M.A. from English Catholic University of America, and an A.B. from Villanova University. “I am very pleased to announce this appointment, Governor Duka- kis said. “Reverend Aherne has an extensive background in library administration and is committed tc ' the goals of the Library Board. ! The Board of Library Commisr. sioners is responsible for advising local libraries, administering federal! and state grants to libraries, issuing certificates to librarians, and pro- moting library services. Reverend Aherne will serve ir the unsalaried position until Januarj 1, 1979. He replaces Garth Hite ol Boston. I eing ting assembled with a view to fing acceptable to Merrimack’s tademic community, Fr. Dwyer iid. The department has long I sired a major in its area, and the feler sent oub ty the U.S. Catholic fmference has simply been an tded reason to pursue it. In respect f this, Fordham University has hen contacted concerning what it buld expect of an undergraduate fth a degree in Religious Studies. I A Religious Studies-Teaching ■ogram is also being investigated the present time, according to Fr. Ivyer. Appropriate grammar- and gh-schools in the area have ex- ' essed a willingness to work with ch a program. [ ' Work on the program is not yet fmplete, but Fr. Dwyer anticipates at it will be soon. The proposed ogram is expected to be presented ' the Educational Policies and brriculum Committee of the Divi- jn of Humanities sometime this imester. Pardon Me, But Your “Slip” Is Showing by John J. Buba, Jr. It’s a good thing I got a new pair of boots for Christmas, you need good boots to walk to your classes here at Merrimack.” ‘‘I would have been on time, but there was no way I could have run to class on those %$@% side- walks.” “It’s been two weeks now, you’d think they would have gotten some of this snow out of here by now,” or “Look, there goes a St. Bernard to rescue that kid who is stranded in the parking lot.” These are just some of the comments in and around the school concerning the lack of snow removal on the Merrimack campus. However, some of these complaints are unjustified. Granted, that in the past the snow situation here at Merrimack has been less than adequate, having driven a olow at home during the recent out-break of then followed by some very frigid weather, turned the thin layer of snow that the plow normally leaves into solid ice. (It should be pointed out the this icing problem plagued the surrounding commun- storms, I can sympathize with the people who drove the plows here on campus. The snow, which was then followed by rain, which was ities as well.) Under the condi- tions, the people who did the plowing should be commended for their snow removal. Notice however I said snow removal, for it is here that my praise stops. After the snow turned to ice, and became impossible to remove, WHY WEREN’T ALL THE SIDE- WALKS SANDED? It has been more than two weeks since classed resumed, and still the sidewalks leading from the library to the parking lot are not sanded and it wasn’t until last Friday that the sidewalk to Monican was sanded, either. There is no excuse for this lack of concern for teacher and student safety. I am sure that some of you out there are saying, “But they put salt on the sidewalks,” and I am well aware of this, but salt does not melt ice when the temperature is below 24 degrees, and surely it has been colder than that lately. In closing therefore, I hope this article is read by the right people, otherwise we will have to continue to take the snow remov- al here at Merrimack with “a grain of salt.” VALENTINE PK ONALS To the girls of 159 Monican, Roses are red, Violets are bluish.

I never went to school here, and I don’t even draw a paycheck here. The rewards of working for a diligent staff are enough for me. But what of the students? Where are they? This is the only college in NeW England that can boast the fact that both of its winter sports teams. Hockey and Basketball, will be headed for the NCAA Championship playoffs, and yet neither team cam muster enough fan support out of their students to even get one scream on either side of the Volpe Center. The story has been the same all year long. The same gang that drove 18 hours in the snow to see MC play at Ohio State is the only gang you will find at the home games. When we played at Bowdoin last Saturday night, a school of 1300 students, there were 1300 students in the rink. Last night (vs. Lowell) a mere group of 25 U. Lowell kids got their horns, trumpets, drums, and heads to- gether to make the game sound as if it were their home rink. Where were the students? At Frat parties that started about the same time as the sports action over at the Volpe. If you’re a senior, what’s your excuse ?If you’re a Freshman, all I can say is welcome to a school which has developed a tradition of winning, winning, winning. If you’re a soph or Junior, stop and think about the guys that are busting their tails off on a quiet rink court; then get over to the next home game and give ’em a holler. Last year it took tennis balls to get you over here - this year, just bring yourself - and bust your tail - screaming wise. John P.

Andover, Mass. 01845 Dear Student, Perhaps you have heard of me and my nationwide campaign in the cause of temperance. Each year, for the past fourteen, I have made a tour of Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa, delivering a series of lectures on the Evils of Drinking. On this tour I have been accompanied by my good friend and assistant, Clyde Linson. Clyde, a young man of good family and excellent background, is a pathetic example of life ruined by an excessive indulgence in whiskey and women. Clyde would appear with me at the lectures and sit on the platform drunk, wheezing, staring at the audience through heavy, bleary, bloodshot eyes, sweating profusely, picking his nose, passing gas, and making obscene gestures, while I pointed him out as an example of what over-indulgence can do to a person. This summer, unfortunately, Clyde died. A mutual friend has given me your name and I wonder if you would be available to take Clyde’s place om my 1977 Summer Tour. Yours in faith.
