editorial rxow /fa $vtx

During the past few yews, the :

college has taken steps to provide
the student, body with various
opportunities to expand; their
career possibilities. Co-operative
education and Career Services
are the [two chief vehicles by
which the school has attempted to
achieve these ends. ,
Through the efforts of different
administrators Mercyhurst
College has recently devised a
new avenue for;,those students
hoping to rater the work force at
the end of the academic year. The
title of this new project is Carpe
Diem Weekend. *
u This event, which will be taking
place on November 2nd, will give
seniors the chance to interview
with a possible eight of 24 com-
panies. Business representatives
from - companies and cor-
porations such as I.B.M., the
C.I.A., General Telephone and
Xerox (among others) are going
to be interviewing candidates
from all area colleges as well as
those from Mercyhurst.
At this writing there are eight
seniors who have signed up for
the event. This would lead one to
one of two conclusions: (1)
students that graduate from
Mercyhurst are independently
wealthy, or (2) there are a lot of
seniors that would be wise to run
over to Career Services and
register for Carpe Diem Weekend

But why did the administrators
in charge of this event decide to
give it the school motto as its
name? The application of the
school motto for something as
pragmatic as an interview
session seems: to delete value
from something the Sisters of
Mercy took great pride in when
they first I opened the doors in
.1926. S - | &*••
Granted, students that come to
this college do so in hope of
establishing ^careers for them-
selves. However, while the in-
stitution does its part to help
these seniors, it should be em-
phasized that Mercyhurst College
is not a $5,000-a-year way station
between high school and a job. It
is a college. H- ;. •

Hurst Professor Comments On Gay Rights
" Homosexuals, like

many lifestyles. . .Homosexuals

the country and are found in all

Dear Editor, |-
On October 14,1979, 75,000 gay
men and women marched on our
nation's capital, Washington D.C
The following day gay civil rights
leaders and supporters pressed
their views in meetings with
members: of Congress, the
Executive branch and others.
They urged these important
legislators to support H.R. 2074
;!The Lesbian and Gay Civil
Rights Bill). They also urged the
repeal of existing sodomy laws.
Just what does the bill state?
H.R. 2074 is basically an
women by police at two lesbian
bars in San Francisco. -h
- Three Houston I policemen
were acquitted last year despite
the fact that they admitted
attacking Anthony Ramirez as he
was leaving a gay bar.
- Richard J. Heaken was beaten
to death as he left an Arizona gay
bar a year and a half ago. He was
beaten by a gang of football
players. ,a Kj*
- In Dade County a young gay
man named Richard
Hillsborough, was stabbed|to
death by a gang of youths.JJ
Because of the violence against
gays and lesbians; the prejudice
which denies them jobsforwhich
they are qualified, gays
organized nationwide hoping to
get H.R. 2074 passed.-This bill
does not give homosexuals
special rights, it gives them their
basic human rights.
Legally, people in America are
protected by the constitution and
the Bill of Rights. Certainly this
should be applicable to! all
regardless of lifestyle. jl
There are other myths and
mis conceptions of homosexuals
when in fact "Most homosexuals
look and act as do ordinary
people. . .Homosexuality has
existed at all times in all parts
of the world." (Fondamentals of
Human Sexuality pg. 275)
It is important that all human
beings enjoy the same rights
under our . democracy: As
Christians,; we certainly believe
in the uniqueness and worth of
each individual: as human beings
ourselves, we are not in the
position to condemn others,
regardless of lifestyle.
This topic is worthy of further
discussion since it obviously has
meaning to many*on^campus.
And for those who are interested,
please support Bill H.R.2074.

Students call him tough
demanding, and downright
unreasonable. The new chairman
of the business division buys two
of the three. His name- Thomas
Teeters.
Originally from Brackenridge,
Pa., Teeters attended Clarion
State College where he graduated
at the top of his class. A recipient
of the Wall Street Journal Student
Achievement Award, Teeters
was granted a full scholarship to
Colorado University for his
graduate work.'
Once again he graduated at the
top of his class. He continued at
the university as a graduate
teaching assistant. Following a
two-year teaching stint at
i Southern Colorado University,
Teeters came back to the
Keystone State, this time as a

In.seven years at'the state
school, Teeters made rapid
strides up the divisional
heirarchy, going from instructor
to assistant professor to chair-
man of what was Ghen a fledgling
business division. In deciding to
come to Mercyhurst, Teeters left
a division which has grown into
one of the largest at the eastern
state school.
Arriving at Mercyhurst,
Teeters has brought with him
some very pragmatic and, what
he feels to be, realistic goals.
