Aided By Campus Club
The Admissions Club is an
organization that was created last
year through the Admissions Of-
fice at Mercyhurst. The* club's
main goal is to seek out and talk
to as many high school seniors as
possible, so as to generate an in-
terest in coming to Mercyhurst
College.
In addition, students in the club
help out by giving tours to pro-
spective freshmen, aiding the Ad-
missions Office during the sleep-
ing bag weekends, and a host of
other projects. % f
This year, Rich Lanzillo, ad-
missions counselor and Brent
Scarpo, student worker, will be
forming the club'. Lanzillo hopes
the club will be a big success. He
said, "Our; main goal is to
generate high school seniors to
become interested in Mercyhurst

would like the club members to

Receive Scholarships
By Naomi Romanchok $
MERCIAD Staff Reporter
Seven Mercyhurst College
students from the Erie area were
recently announced as recipients
of two prestigious local
scholarships.
Winners of the Bishop Jeffer-
son Davis Myers Scholarship were
Melinda Connor, Toni Myers and
Channel Pulliam. Recipients of
the Reverend Ernest T. Smith
Scholarships were Tyrone Battles,
Bernard Lofton, Anthony Mc-
Cullum and Trudie Tate.
The scholarship judging was
based on high school academic
performance, church service,
community service and the recom-
mendations^ of their respective
pastor. J $
I The Bishop Myers Scholarships
were awarded for academic ac-
complishment. Each carries a
I
monetary value of between $1,150
and $2,300. The Reverend Smith
Scholarships were granted to
students who show future promise
with the help of a Mercyhurst
education. Both awards can be
renewed yearly. £ Monday:
Toni Myers, a graduate of Mer-
cyhurst Prep, felt that the scholar-
ship was, "a well-earned pay-off
|for all of my high school work."
Myers is a freshman majoring in
Computer Management Informa-
tion Systems.
Freshman Trudie Tate, also a
CMIS major and a graduate of
1 East High School, was happy with

tor will be at Zurn'.Hall for the

that publicity has been completed
for an upcoming event. "It's real-
ly a check and balance system,"
Daly said.
Daly initiated the committee
because an event recently spon-
sored by the* college lacked
organization.- As a result,iDaly
did not want the incident to occur
again, so she took it upon herself
to organize the committee.
However, she does not single
herself out as a chairperson
because she considers the commit-
tee a group which meets informal-
ly. Although the committee just
began meeting three weeks ago,
Daly believes it has already pro-
ven successful. f will develop a structure for plann-

committee in the past, because the
college has never flourished with
an abundance of events until this
year, she explained. f possibility of cutting back on the

lecture series, film for discussions,
theatre and dance department
productions and the expansion of
the HRM and music departments
have all contributed to the forma-
tion of the external committee.
In the midst of preparing ifor
the award. "It helped me further
my education."
Channel Pulliam, another
freshman and CMIS majors who
graduated from Academy High

The external committee is also
planning to make a recommenda-
tion to Dr. William P. Garvey,
president of the college. The
recommendation calls for a
master calendar to be devised to
inform the college community of
the events taking place around the
campus. In the future, Daly
would like to see a calendar
printed every term listing all the
special eventsi occurring at Mer-
cyhurst College.
