Apparently, in t an attempt to
raise the Merciad to new heights
of greatness, Editor Steve
Frisina has begged me to share
my state of enlightenment with
the Mercyhurst Community.
While my native humility
strongly militates against taking
the spotlight for even the
brightness or duration of a
Merciad column, it's a case of
"noblesse oblige", (look it up
underclass persons), so I will try
once again to bring harmony to
the chaos of the universe.
Before I begin, I think it im-
portant that you know a little
about the author. I am a rapidly
aging, youngish minded person
who refuses to let go of questions
which first possesed me when I

I really Just the accident of
random probabilities?" or "Do
my actions matter?" or "Do I
have any responsibility to the
universe?" or "Do I have a
destiny beyond the grave?" or
"Is there a God?" or "Does God
love me?"
And as I observe myself more
deeply, I seem to find that not
only do I ask strange questions
like that but my very existence
seems to be a question crying out
for an answer. . up the atoms of the molecules of

We finally chose our new

We had so many finalists that Dr.

everybody had their favorite.
One faculty member nominated a
non-violent Christian Marxist. He
explained that if the faculty tried
to unionize, this person would
begin fasting until the union was
rejected. Having the president
fast to influence the consciences
of faculty was seen as Upholding
the finest Christian traditions. It
is also a lot cheaper than an
expensive union busting law
firm.
Other faculty protested. They
maintained that such a person
would not be decisive enough and
besides, half the faculty were
conscience-less. They instead
recommended a violent Marxist.
This latter person, however,
never made it for his interview.
He got stranded in a non-violent
transportation strike in Iraq and

that the freshmen enrollment is

ofMercyhurst College. As of Sep-
tember 5 there were 356 students
and more are expected.
"Our goal was 300." said Karen
Schultz, Director of Admissions.
••We were hoping for 325. We
ere fortunate to get more."
r According to Ms. Schultz, a
combination of things account for
the high freshmen enrollment.
Primarily responsible for the
25 per cent'increase were the
internal changes made. These
changes included more efficient
correspondence, better com-
munication publications, and
computer capabilities. "The
entire staff and office has been
very enthusiastic," said Schultz.
Mercyhurst can't expect this
number of students every year,
explained Ms Schultz. However,
it is hoped that enrollment will be
stabilizing.

Campus Ministry And Pace Offer
Simulation Of "Freshman Year"
by Chip
An entire freshman year in 40
minutes? Not quite, but through
the combined efforts of the
Campus Ministry and Pace over
300 of the new arrivals ex-
perienced a simulation of their
first year in the game titled
"Freshman Year, Freshman
Year," held in the student union
Sunday night.
\ The simulation, brought to
Mercyhurst by SisterjPeggy, was
developed by Wayne Bryan of
Gainesville, Florida. With goal
orientation being the major
objective of the game, it also
brought to light the possible
problems of college life. And also,
as if by plan, it got the freshmen
to talk and get to know one
another.
Under the direction of Sister
Peggy, the freshmen set
academic, social, personal,
political and career goals. Once
the goals were set, the students
were "unleashed" to test their
wares in the college world.
Given two 20-minute
"semesters" to attain their goals,
the freshmen went about com-
pleting prescribed assignments
in six color-designated groups.
The assignments ranged from
writing a speech to finding
someone to dance with for one
minute, with the music agreed
upon by both parties and hum-
med throughout the duration.
The result of the first semester
was utter confusion. The fresh-
men rushed about in an attempt
to complete 'their assignments
while student helpers Alda
Walker and Amy McNicholas
