P h i l o s o p h y H e a d O r g a n i z e s K a m u r o l s ; (Faculty, Students Join
Will Provide Clinic Withl M a g a z i n e s
A new organization recently has
been added to Mercyhurst campus.
The Kamurols, initiated by Dr.
John A. Donatelli, is comprised
solely of sophomore girls.
The members of the society are
Karen Green, Barbara Yerskey,
Terry DeFino, Toni Cuneo, Trish
Dubiel, Christine Mraz, Marlene
Guerra, and Nancy Loll. Mary
Alyce Graham is the chairman.
The main ? objective of this
group working in conjunction
with the Neurology Clinic of St.
Vincent Hospital is the collection
of magazines to supply the wait-
ing-rooms at the clinic.
These girls will carry on the
project until they graduate, and
then pass the work| on I to their
Little Sister class. In this way, the
organization will become estab-
lished as one of the many endeav-
ors in \ which Mercyhurst students
participate.
The first magazine collection
was taken to the St. Vincent clin-
ic. Monday J May 11. A second
collection is planned {for the last
week in May. The Kamurols act
as the nucleus of this newly-in-
itiated program, which offers an
opportunity for each student to
participate in Catholic Action.
