THE MERCIAD
 Mercyhurst Football: Four Years Later
By Dr. Barry G. Grossman J
It is time to put things back in
perspective. Four years ago, when
the suggestion of installing a foot-
ball program was made, many of
our reactions ran the gamut from
skepticism to outrage. Horror
stories were paraded from one end
of campus to the other Jit was as
if a cursed plague was about to
descend upon our tranquil, civiliz-
ed, little campus. The harrangues
ranged from predictions that 300
lb. quasi-homicidal, Neanderthals
would be raping and pillaging in
Garvey Park, to the fears that the
College's largesse would be
diverted from microscopes, Ap-
ples and film series, to seven-man
sleds, artificial turf and fur lined
jock straps. Like most ventures
into that all-mysterious world of
"change," the advent of Laker
football has failed to produce any
of the dire atrocities that so many,
myself ** included, were certain
would be visited upon us. Instead
of Gunga-Din, we've been blessed
with the likes of fullback Jeff
Jones, now a Rhodes Scholar can-
didate. Contrary to expectation,
the Jim Sturm s and Bobby Nies
have turned out to be much
blighter than the rocks they are
studying in geology.
Today even the most outspoken
cynics among us are cautiously
whispering that the football pro-
gram has supplied far more
dividends than debits. So what
happened? Why is it time for a
reassessment? .
Let's focus on the Frostburg
game of October 1, when our 3-0
Lakers opened their home
schedule with' a "humiliating"
10-7 loss. Mercyhurst coaches and
players alike were showered by a
crescendo of boos, the likes of
which are common today in NFL
amphitheaters where a hysterical
psycho-sexual mania is displayed
on most Sunday afternoons. The
postmortem that is performed
weekly in the faculty dining room
on Mondays took the tone of- a
vigilante Kangaroo court. The
coach was.under indictment. Not
for losing, mind you, (which is
bad enough), but for committing
that greatest of all modern
American sins -/'the team was
boring." There were, no "trick
plays" (as if trickery could ever
compensate for inferior talent); or
the passing game "stinks"
(translated as meaning we don't
have 6'4", 210 lb. quarterbacks
throwing 50 yard bombs to world-
class sprinters); or the coaches
called the "wrong" plays (i.e., the
arm chair critics who spend two
hours a week watching football on
TV would certainly select better
plays than the eight professional
coaches who are spending 60
hours per week breaking down
films, working with the players,
scouting the opponents, etc.).
The "Op-Ed" page is designed
to be a catch-all for any opinion
content that did not make the
editorial page. It can also be
the page representing a variety
of viewpoints other than those
of the newspaper's editors and
staff.
What has brought us to the
brink of this insanity? It is not a
syndrome peculiar to Mercyhurst
College. Rather it is akin to the
neo-religious, self-indulgent^ cult
that is sweeping the American
sports scene. From pee-wee foot-
ball to the Super Bowl, "fans"
have become so absorbed with
winning that all ^ the other at-
tributes of healthy athletic com-
petition are being shuffled aside.
What's wrong with a football pro-
gram that stresses character,
ethics and discipline on the same
plane with winning? It's been said
over and over on this campus that
"The bottom line is [winning."
That's the same credo that
characterized American
Dr. Barry G. Grossman
in the age of the robber barons
("the bottom line is profit").
When winning (or profit) becomes
the sole virtue, the pressure upon
the participants (players, coaches,
administrators, e t c . ) to
manipulate the system becomes
overwhelming. Normally ethical
people resort to cheating, lying
and worse. The very horrors that
the anti-football people were pro-
mising four years ago may yet
evolve if the increased carping and
sniping at the coaches and players
doesn't abate.
Shamefully, the effects of such
behavior have already begun to
manifest themselves. The coaches
are loathe to visit the faculty din-
ing room at lunch for fear of be-
ing constantly cross-examined,
then drawn and quartered. More
regrettably, many of the coaches'
wives are absenting themselves at
the games, or sitting away from
the "fans" in order to be in-
sulated from the torrents of verbal
abuse being heaped upon their
husbands. Football was supposed
to draw us closer together, but it's
beginning to drive wedges bet-
ween us.. *
Comments like "Coaches
deserve to be booed when their
team doesn't perform" boggles
the mind when put into the con-
text of a Division III football pro-
gram at a small, religious liberal
arts college of 1,400 students. Our
fans aren't paying SI5.00 a ticket
to sit in judgement of paid per-
formers. All of our players are
participating in football as an
extra-curricular activity. They're
not paid; they're not even on a
scholarship. Would we boo a poor
performance by the drama depart-
ment in the Little Theatre; or
would we hiss at a sub-par music
recital in Zurn? Do we gather on
Mondays and* suggest that Igor
Stalsky or Joe Chiarelli should be
fired because, their amateur
charges r. were "not entertaining
enough"? <
All of this is not to suggest that
our coaches and players should be
above criticism. The point here is
that we merely place things back
in perspective. Our worst fears of
four years ago have never
materialized. The swarms of sub-
cretinous jocks just have not ap-
peared. That's not by accident. Representative

Enough said!)
Let's all stop and take stock.
Football at Mercyhurst has been a
tremendous success. It has in-
creased the low male enrollment
at the college; it has produced un-
told amounts of publicity in areas

W o m e n F a c u l t y ; M e m b e r s Still Earn L e s s T h a n Men

^.\ -By Mary Jo Allen ^ ^ ^
MERCIAD Feature Editor
A recent study by the National
Center for Education Statistics
has found that« not,, only - are
salaries for women faculty
members still lower than for their
male counterparts, but the gap is
widening significantly. Last year,
the average salary for female pro-
fessors averaged over $5,000 less
than for males, according to the
NCES report.
The lower wages for women is
not a new development in higher
education or most other fields,
however, it was believed the
discrepancy was on its way toward
correction. The survey states that
not only has the gap in salaries
"widened steadily" but also male
faculty members "continued to
get higher raises" than females.
One of the reasons given for the
varying salaries is the relatively re-
cent entrance of women in the
higher education teaching fields
and especially in the technical
areas such as engineering and
computer sciences. This means
women in these fields just do not
have the experience and! rank
which often determines the pay
scale.
Here at Mercyhurst, members
of the faculty are predominantly
male with only 27 of the 81 full
time members female; the part
time faculty carries 11 females
and 17 males on its listing tas of
August 30, 1983. >'
Despite what may look like a
male dominated ^faculty, many
members agree that the statistics
are probably accurate but have lit-
tle or no effect on Mercyhurst's
wage scale. j * *
P. Barry McAndrew, acting
director of the English Depart-
ment, said, "Overall I'd have to
say it (the statistics) probably is
true. I don't think it holds true at
Mercyhurst." He agrees with the
reasons the NCES presents and
adds, "Higher Education has long
been a field dominated by men. I
think obviously something should
be done to overcome that gap."
Another department head who
expresses concern $isj Dr. Jean
Lavin of the Business Depart-
ment. Her interest in overcoming
sex discrimination in the male
dominated world of business, pro-
vides a background for her belief
in the survey and her belief in
gaining a .balance. "L think
• •
research shows the report to be
true j in general. However, even
though it may have been true in
the past at Mercyhurst, I don't
believe it is true today," she
added.
Another opinion on this issue
came from Sr. Kathleen Cribbins,
an instructor in the Special Educa-
tion Department with an interest
in the future of her graduates'
salary expectations. "There is an
obvious gap, I do agree with these
figures," she said. "Openings in
the technical area are just now be-
ing made | for women
although they have the ability,
they can never be hired with the
experience. They're just 'beginn-
ing in the field'," she reasoned.
However, she said her graduates
won't feel the effect as they enter
the teaching profession, "I don't
feel there is the discrepancy . . .
that exists On higher education),"
until the administrative level is
reached. 3
When asked her opinion on the
salary discrepancy which may or
may not exist on campus, Crib-
bins replied, "No comment. Mer-
cyhurst's salary scale is top
drawer or some drawer secret.' *
~' To find an administrative view-
point on this issue, Academic
Dean David Palmer was asked to
comment. "I think that (gender
discrimination) has been a pro-
blem for a while, but I'm surpris-
ed to see it's getting worse."
Palmer agrees that the shortage

freshmen.
According to Pagni, the main
function of "the office of
Freshman Studies is to "ease the
transition from the high school
experience to the college ex-
perience," he said. This goal is ac-
complished through workshops,
seminars, and informal.counsel-
ing sessions. "When you receive a
note from the office it doesn't
mean you*re in trouble; we just
want to get to know you," Pagni
stated. ,
S Freshman Studies works with
three groups of people to help
make the freshman's first year
more comfortable. These groups
are students themselves, the facul-
ty* and parents of new freshmen.
According to Pagni, the most
problems e n c o u n t e r e d ! by
freshmen are in one of two
categories: time management and-
or campus life adjustment. The
Freshman Studies Office aids in
overcoming these difficulties
along with helping in other areas,
such as assisting undecided ma-
jors in choosing a major course of
study. *
Working with Pagni is Damper,
Director of Tutorial Services and

 Forecast: Job Recruitment
Picture Brighter For 1984
By Karen Merkle
MERCIAD News Editor
After the worst year of job pro-
spects for college graduates in
1983, the class of '84 should be
facing a moderately optimistic job
market, according to the College
Press Service (CPS).
At Mercy hurst, job possibilities
and recruiting drives seem to be
"picking up," according to Direc-
tor of Career Services Tyrone
Moore. $ and from high technology
"Job placement for the '84 col-
lege graduate has to be on 'an
upswing," Moore said.
"It's going to be better than the
p a s t few y e a r s w e ' v e
experienced." ^ Siu '\
**I think recruiting is going to
be upvby M5 or 20 percent na-
tionally from last year," said Vic-
tor Lindquist, placement director
at Northwestern jUniversity in
Evanston, 111.
"That is still down from what it
was two years ago," he added.
Lindquist and others have little
hard data on which to base their
optimism, but they' take heart
from the trickle of recruiters mov-
ing back opto campuses as the fall

The Mercyhurst Campus
Ministry completed the Ninth An-
nual Food Drive on Wednesday,
October 12. Just over, 1,244
pounds of canned and boxed food
was delivered to the Erie Com-
munity Food Bank for further
distribution to the needy of the
Erie area. . V
"Overall it was a good drive,"
commented Pat Reed, organizer
of the Food Drive. "We had a
fairly good turnout with about 25
or 30 participants collecting food
from the Erie community," Reed
stated. < jj
The collection total fell
somewhat short of the anticipated
amount, but the drive was still
considered a success. "It's one

are at Mercyhurst or a much
larger campus.
Traditionally, Moore added,
there aren't enough graduates in
any one major to make it feasible
for large corporations to recruit
employees here.
• But recruitment seems to be ris-
ing most significantly among
business and marketing majors,
companies.
The hard-hit energy'industry's
recruiting is still off. It hit bottom
last year when Dallas-based
Dresser, Inc., a supplier of oil ex-
ploration equipment that is rank-
ed 83rd on the Fortune 500, told
more *than 100 Michigan State
students that they had jobs, but
then had to renege on the offers.
Dresser, which used to hire
about 800 new graduates annual-
ly, still has "a few thousand"
employees laid ofP and so will
keep this year's campus recruiting
"very limited," said James
Papalexsis, of Dresser's personnel
office.
Energy recruitment "almost
ceased to exist" last year, said Dr.
Glen Payne, of the University of
Texas-Austin Business School.
"Banks and accounting came
through the recession almost like
there wasn't one." He observed a
minor slowdown in recruiting by
high technology companies.
The market for teachers still ap-
pears to be sluggish, despite the
rash of new proposals for higher
teacher salaries and more teacher
hiring. i • jS
Don Wood, education place-
ment director at the University of
Northern Iowa said, "I think that
things will pick up dramatically in
a few years, though. They have
to. So few people are going into
education, and more children are
coming along. Already, enroll-
J ment is up for kindergarten and
first grade.t»
University of California-
Berkley placement head James
Briggs said some recruiters \ are
returning with a greater apprecia-
tion for liberal arts majors. They
show increased interest in hiring
generalists, and are softening their
formerly-strict requirements for
technical training, c
He said liberal arts majors are
having good luck among manage-
ment, financial services, and
retailing recruiters. p The approximate cost of the
Moore agrees with this,
specifically mentioning majors in
computer, education, hotel-
restaurant management, human
ecology, ulterior design, and
dietetics as being on a definite
upswing as far as job possibilities
are concerned.
In the coming months, Moore
added that companies such as
Coopers and Lybrand accoun-
tants, -American Sterilizer Com-
pany, Hammermill,' The Marriott
Corporation, Marine Bank, Kauf-
manns, the Ohio State Highway
Patrol, the Pennsylvania,. State
Police, IBM, Xerox, and the U.S.
military will have representatives
on campus, recruiting Mercyhurst
' seniors. fe 1
"We're looking for a way we
can best showcase the graduates
of Mercyhurst College," Moore
said.

vehicle was $24,000, according to
Sheila Delaney, treasurer of
MSG.
MSG was not the sole con-
tributor of all the finances. The
college split the cost of the vehicle
with the student government.
Over a three year period, MSG
will have funded S 10,500 toward
the new vehicle.
The idea to buy the motor
home-like vehicle was initiated by
Mercyhurst College President Dr.
William P. Garvey. He approach-
ed MSG during the spring of '83,
asking if the cost could be split. -

football team has utilized the
vehicle for the away games which
required travelling long distances.
During the first few weeks of
the term, MSG was in search of a
driver. It could not be just any
student i because there were
stipulations. The student had to
be 21 years of age and have a class
II driver's license.
Chuck Straub, a junior, fulfill-
ed the requirements, so he applied
for the job and was selected.
Straub applied for the position
because he, "enjoys travelling and
likes to drive."
Straub has his class III license,
so he has had previous experience
driving'a large vehicle.
•_. Liability is one concern of Stu-
dent Services Director E. William
Kennedy. He said if an accident
should occur while the vehicle is in
use, the college would be liable.
The student government ap-
proves who will utilize the vehicle,
Kennedy said. This eliminates the
bus being used by students who
want to just take the vehicle and
drive it around, Kennedy added.
