YEAR HIGH SCHOOL-COLLEGE

PLAN DISCUSSED
by Patrick Weschier

A group of educators from Mercyhurst College and
Mercyhurst Prep High School began meeting oh a
regular basis this week to discuss the possibility of
creating some sort of continuous high school-college
degree program involving the two schools.
According to Sr. Maura Smith, Coordinator of the
Mercyhurst Life-long Learning Continuum, the talks
are a direct outgrowth of the Continuum program.
Basic aims!of the Continuum program include
cooperative efforts by the* various member in-
stitutions to promote continuous educational ex-
periences which break-through traditional boun-
daries between institutions. The college^iigh school

program presently under consideration is one
example of such inter-institutional cooperation.
Sr. Maura sees two positive results that would
come; from the creation of a program in which
Mercyhurst Prep students could make the transition
into Mercyhurst College on a gradual basis:
I First, the two schools would be able to eliminate
most of the duplication that is often found ill the
curricula of the final two years of high school and the
basic college courses taught on the same subject.
Wi Second, students would nave a wider range of study
available to them in a subject area, being able to
move directly into college level study after achieving
competency on die high school level.
In addition to the planning of the academic aspects
of the high school-college program, the members of
the group will also be dealing with the social and
psychological aspects of*a combination college-high
school program, v % < *

One of the most important aspects of the new
program, according to Sr. Maura, will be the degree
to which it will be adjustable to the individual needs
of the students. "If a student wants to move through

Walking through Mercyhurst halls can be
depressing on dreary Erie days especially
when | no one replies to J your friendly
greetings of a simple "heHo". It happens to
be ah elementary function of the oral cavity
and requires fewer muscles than does neck
bending, which many people render after
such greetings. Faculty members are like-
wise guilty of this neglectful act, which
hinders the unity of our collegiate corn-
munity. Because we are a relatively small
intitution of higher education, we must
proceed to alleviate this problem. So
remember, "seize the opportunity" to add
a bit of sunniness to someone's rainy day.
Grades have been looked down upon Jong
enough. They have 'been thought of as the
misguiding light of the student, as the false goal
of schooling, in other words, as the source of all
evil when it comes to the inverted value system
of some students. It :is time that something be
said in their favor. - % dL $ I
After all, grades are so insignificant-looking,
that it is hardly fair to put all the blame on them.
Still, students are accused of studying for the
sake of a grade instead of knowledge. So, let's get
rid of the grading system and all wrongs will be
righted/ * •« — "
Why should that be the cure? Are students
really discouraged^ from (serious) studying
because the grading system is unfair? Is it fair to
blame the grading system for a screwed-up sense
of values? , solicitations from all areas, such as the newspaper,
It is true that all serious students are pleased
with a good grade. That is a natural reaction.
However, it is not always true that just because
they strove for a 4.0, they couldn't care less
about learning per se, grading system or no
grading system. Why should a "good student'' be
penalized for his-her 3.5 + quality point average
and be dismissed with a "your grades don't mean
anything, anyhow"?fet
Of course they mean something! They cer-
tainly shouldn't be looked at as the ultimate goal
of education, but while a student is in school, they
are the easiest, quickest, and most concrete
symbol of learning. True, they don't represent a
perfect picture, but is any system ever perfect? •
Let's take grades at face value. They are not
learning, they merely represent learning, and as
such they have their function. But it is a tem-
porary function, because only knowledge will
ultimately last. So let's be a bit kinder toward
grades, lest; our ^ignorance be tobogganed into|
nothing, as e.e. cummings wrote.

Coffeehouse Presents:
The Cpffee House Circuit is
sending to Mercyhurst a
three-man folk-rock group
known as "Gunhill Road",
Name sound familiar? It
should, mainly due to the fact
that they had a Top 40 smash
called "Back When My Hair
Was Short" and have ap-
peared on such national
television shows as Midnight
Special and American Band-
stand, i 'i
Gunhill Road is a band of
three very talented musicians
from the New York area.
Glenn Leopold, born in
Manhattan, is the lead singer
and composer of most of the
band's material. Along with
Glenn, Steve Goldrick and
Pdul Reisch Jr. are the other
two members of Gunhill
Road. Steve knew Glenn, a
dynamic keyboard player in
nighschooi where they per-
formed together at the Bitter
End (where the Coffee House
originated) in New York,
using Glenn's original songs.
Paul, the newest member of
the group and bass guitarist,
connected with Glenn t and
Steve through a mutual friend
at the Bitter End. From there
on, it's history - Gunhill Road
was on its way. The group has
recorded two albums and five
singles and have performed
with such artists as Gordon
Lightfoot, the Carpenters,
Carly Simon, Bette Midler,
Poco, Qeorge Carlin, Robert
Klein and Bill Haley and the
Comets.
I Gunhill Road's style of
music stresses variety and
emphasizes harmony and
melody as well as meaningful
lyrics. Leopold once said that
"I guess if there is any one
group that you could say we
relate to it's the early
Hollies". Their repetoire
consists of original songs and
renditions or the "golden
oldies", like the Beach Boys
"Barbara Ann," "Don't Walk
Away, Rene" and "The Book
of Love". Not only- do they
have a talent for music,
Glenn, Steve and Paul have a
knack for creating a fantastic
rapport with their audiences.
The Seagull
"Seagull", a different
production for the Mercy-
hurst Little Theatre contains
no Jonathan Livingston
Seagull. On the contrary, it's
written by Anton Checkov, a
dramatist of the late 1800's.
Surprisingly, the play is very
comical arid the characters
are diverse. For instance,
there is Masha, a drunk snuff-
sniffer portrayed at Mercy-
hurst by Maripat Rafferty;
Arkadina, an aging actress
enacted by Mrs. Mina
Eisenberg; Treplev a theme of two young lovers. The Mercyhurst English
