EXAMINING CHRIST

FROM A FEMINIST

PERSPECTIVE

By Kimberly Dillon

One gets the impression when talking with Dr. Mary Hembrow Snyder that she is deeply committed to what she is saying. Probably, because she is. This soft-spoken, yet determined, feminist has spent most of her 41 years trying to answer "What does it mean to say I believe Jesus Christ is the Sav­ior in a suffering world?"

Pursuing an answer to that question, Snyder left the Sisters of Mercy, Diocese of Buffalo in 1981, where she had been a nun for 15 years, and began a doctoral program in theology at the University of Saint Mi­chael's College in Toronto. As part of her search, Mary Hembrow Snyder, who wanted to write a book before she turned 40, researched Rosemary Radford Ruether, the first woman to write a feminist inter­pretation of Christ. That research became a book entitled, "The Christology of Rose­mary Radford Ruether: A Critical Intro­duction." The book was submitted to the publisher one day before Snyder's 40th birth­day.

One of the things Ruether discovered is that women's experience of God has not been considered valuable in Christian tra­dition. Snyder agrees, "So much of women's experiences has just been dis­counted," she said.

Also, in their research, both Ruether and Snyder found certain areas where Christ had been used negatively against women, the poor and the Jews.

"We are playing games when we view Jesus as a middle-class, white, North Ameri­can male," said Snyder, "But the games are dangerous because they have supported racism, classism and chauvinism in many parts of the world." She referred to a visit she made to Latin America where the image of Christ as the suffering one has been used to keep the poor in the position they are in. "The wealthy say to the poor 'Imitate Jesus, you will get your reward in Heaven,'" said Snyder. She adds that people are using Jesus against the very things He sought to bring about in terms of a better world, such as equality, justice and peace, which are the values of the kingdom of God.

Snyder believes most suffering is caused by human beings. "What kind of a God sends suffering? And what does that say about our image of God? For the most part we are the ones that cause one another to suffer," says Snyder.

Jesus, according to the Gospels of Mat­thew, Mark and Luke, was one who went around doing good, who went about trying to alleviate suffering, who tried to heal the • • • ^ • • ^ • 1 d ivisions between the rich and the poor, be­tween the religious elites and the masses of people they looked down upon, who criti­cized the political leaders of his day when they misused power. "He is a model for us of what it means mmmmm^^^^m

to be deeply involved with those who suf­fer, and by that involvement, bring about healing and reconciliation rather than fur­ther division and destruction," said Snyder. "He was trying to teach religious people that following the religious laws is not always the religious thing to do. Some­times the religious laws are the very im­pediment to holiness," she adds.

According to Snyder, Ruether raised these issues and said that, although we can say that Jesus is the Christ for us, to turn and use that against people who don't

believe as we do, totally abrogates what Je­sus is all about. "Thus, Ruether challenges Christians to cease using Jesus' name to deny the validity of other people's reli­gious experience. People don't like to hear that," said Snyder.

Snyder isn't saying that Ruether's study is a definitive understanding of Christ. She's just saying that, as humans, we should pay attention to what feminists are saying about how Christ is being used against women and others. "We have a responsibility to one another for the way we live out our un­derstanding of who Jesus was. And, how having a distorted view of Jesus can have devastating consequences for other people's lives," she states.

Writing the book, Snyder says, helped her come to a clearer understanding of Jesus. "The research I had to do, enabled me to bring a more challenging portrait of Jesus to students," said Snyder. "I hope I, at least, start them on a process of critical thinking about Jesus so that they don't use what they have been taught in any way that would be destructive toward them­selves or others," explains Snyder.

When it comes to teaching, her method is simple. She relates what students study to their individual lives. "Students have told me they learn a lot about the world through my course. Most of my students are not majors. Some are just looking for more depth in their relationship with God. They are also concerned about the world in which we live," said Snyder.

However, she says, reaching students on a personal level is hard because there are usually 40 students in a religious per­son class. "Ifs frustrating to me and ifs frustrating to them. I can't give them the ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ kind of time I want," ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ " said Snyder, who ad­

mits one of the things she likes best about Mercyhurst is its pride in personally caring for its students.

She also admits a love for her students. "They are incredibly open-minded. Some-

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ times they make me ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ™ crazy because they don't know what apartheid is or where Central America is. And some of the guys tend to be sexist, but at least they are will­ing to listen," she said. "As long as they are open-minded, it makes my job exciting."

For a woman who wanted to "use her energy to effect change in the world," Snyder has opened a lot of doors through her book and through her teaching.

John and Pat Baird working on the Eutharses mural. It took two weeks of intensive work to return the piece to its natural state.

A scene depicting campus life in the 1940s.

For years, students have passed by, con­gregated in front of, leaned against and, in many cases, politely taken for granted some of Mercyhurst's greatest treasures —the murals in Old Main. These large-as-life works of art not only visually tell us about Mercyhurst's heritage; they are, themselves, a part of history.

Mercyhurst's murals were painted be­tween the 1930s and 1940s. It was during this period that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in order to get people back to work after the Great Depression, hired unemployed artists to paint murals on public buildings. Most of these murals, as you might have guessed, showed people working and being productive.

Three of the seven murals gracing Old Main's hallways portray scenes from

everyday campus life. As well they should, they were painted by students who knew their subject matter extremely well. For example, the two murals in the office of external affairs (formerly the student lounge) show life in the dorms and a typi­cal day's activities.

Three other murals depict various scenes taken from religion. "Women of the Bible," done by Helene Arents '52, shows the enthroned figure of Mary stand­ing on the world. On each side of her are medallions representing Esther and Ju­dith, two women of the Old Testament who prefigured the Mother of God. The mural is located by the Bishop's Parlor. On the opposite wall was a scene "Joyful Mysteries," painted by Jean Brigham '49. A Christmas card created from the mural

is all that exists of the mural today. "The Farewell Discourse/' painted by

Roxana Downing '53, is a scene following the Last Supper when Christ told St. Tho­mas, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life/' In this mural, Christ is surrounded by his 11 faithful disciples. This mural is located near Room 115 in Old Main.

A mural depicting the symbolism of Mercyhurst was painted by Mareanne Cole '53. It showed the Mercyhurst shield encased in tryptic (a three-panel painting

separated by a frame or part of a wall) for the center of interest. A border showing symbols of the spiri­tual and corporal works of mercy has been worked out in grisaille (a single color designed to produce a three-dimensional effect). Symbols of the four cardinal virtues on the corners of the border completed the design. This mural was destroyed by cor­rosion.

On the opposite wall was a mural en­titled, "Our Lady of Mercy," which de­picted a group of saints noted for their works of mercy sur­rounding the Blessed Virgin, who was holding the child Je­sus on her lap. It was painted by Mary Elizabeth Stanny'50.

One of the newest murals to grace Old Main's walls is a black perspective painted by the Association of

Black Collegians. Located across from Room 213, it shows black heros such as Martin Luther King, George Washington Carver and Jesse Jackson, and is entitled "People Linked to Save Humanity."

Because of their historical and artistic significance, when Judy Wieczorek '61, associate professor of sociology, noticed that the condition of the murals was dete­riorating, she took action.

She brought the idea of restoring the murals to Mercyhurst President Dr. Wil­liam P. Carvey, who also felt the murals were too important not to be saved for future generations to inherit.

"Here is something that is part of our history as an institution, and it was disap­pearing," Wieczorek explained. One work in particular caught her eye as being in

special need of attention. It was "Eutharses," painted in 1945 by Gloria (Middleton) Amidon '46, general manager of the Erie Phil­harmonic. Eutharses is a Greek word meaning "good hope" or "good courage."

Amidon, an art major at Mer­cyhurst, painted the mural dur­ing her junior year as a thesis project. At the time, she didn't think it would be around 45 years later. She and mentor, Sr. Angel­ica Cummings, Mercyhurst's first art professor and molder of its fine arts curriculum, decided the theme of the piece should be "the Mer­cyhurst graduate."

Using fellow students as models, Glo­ria first made a preliminary watercolor, then worked most the school year, includ­ing weekends and vacations, to recreate the work directly onto the cleaned and sized 10-foot by 6-foot wide wall.

The result is a celebration of all the pos­sibilities a Mercyhurst education could encourage at that time. The mural centers around one particular Mercyhurst graduate, Margay Savage '45, whom Amidon still remembers. The remaining figures that surround the main focal point (Savage) represent alumnae contributing to society as teachers, scientists, nurses, musicians and artists. Gloria even painted herself into the picture as, naturally, a painter.

Amidon creates interest and eye move­ment by using green as the predominant color and red as the complementary color. There is a diagonal line of females dressed in green drawing your vision from left to right to break up the repetition.

Restoring the mural was a painstaking task. Not only was it dirty, some cracks had developed in the plaster and, in places, the paint had chipped off. The entire work was cleaned inch-by-inch with petro­chemicals, special detergents and Q-tips or cotton swabs, slowly revealing the true vivid colors of the painting. Different chemicals and detergents had to be used for each of the different colors, and tested as the work progressed to ensure safe usage.

The repairing of chips and cracks was an even more arduous undertaking. Cracks had to be cleaned out with small metal tools and filled with a vinyl com­pound that doesn't chip like plaster, the minute areas were scraped and smoothed so that it matched the original wall. Fi­nally, the patch was sealed and ready for painting.

Like most artists, Amidon had mixed her own colors of oil paints. Thus, John and Pat Baird, the area's premiere art re­storers, were challenged to recreate those

colors in all their various shadings. Not only did the Bairds have to match paint that had oxidized with age, but they also matched the artist's strokes to keep every­thing consistent with the rest of the paint­ing. Finally, the mural was sealed with painter's varnish to protect it.

It took two weeks of intensive work to return the piece to its original beauty — bright, bold elegance that perfectly cap­tured the integrity and versatility of Mer­cyhurst College and the Mercyhurst gradu­ate.

There are tentative plans to restore the remaining murals gracing Old Main's hallways and offices, perhaps at the rate of one a year.

MERCYHURST GRAD BECOMES

ERIE 'S FIRST WOMAN Back in the fall of 1964, Joyce Savocchio

'65 was considered a long shot. She was running for president of her

senior class at Mercyhurst. It wouldn't be the last time she would be

a long-shot candidate. Joyce, in 1964, was merely a lowly day-

hop, living off-campus in Erie at her par­ents' home. Back in those days, day-hops didn't get much respect or elected to any­thing. High campus office was reserved for the dormitory girls, the die-hard cam­pus residents.

But Joyce recalls that there were war­ring factions among the dorm girls that autumn so long ago. And she managed to use their bickering and her emerging po­litical savvy to her advantage.

As a result, she pulled off a stunning upset to become president of the Class of 1965, no mean feat for just a day-hop.

That victory was first in her string of political upsets that would culminate in Joyce Savocchio getting herself elected as the first woman mayor of the City of Erie.

"Coming out of a co-ed school (Strong Vincent High School in Erie), the all-girl concept of Mercyhurst was different to me," the mayor recalled. "But I found the classes intellectually stimulating and I found myself actually becoming a pseudo-intellectual. It was also different being a day-hop with all the resident students.

Joyce Savocchio, Erie's first zuornan mayor.

But, being a day-hop was what led to me being elected class president!

"The two factions in the dorm, well, that did it for me, with one faction supporting we day-hoppers. But, aside from the poli­tics of the day, those were quieter, gentler times. Mercyhurst offered new dimen­sions in culture and education for me. That, along with the religious atmosphere, did so much for me and served me well in all that followed in my life.

"Because of Mercyhurst, I followed an intellectual pursuit and went into teach-ing."

As a teacher, Joyce found herself elected president of the Erie Education Associa­tion (EEA), a powerful group of 1,000-plus Erie school teachers.

Then, eight years ago, in another long-shot campaign, she became the first woman member of Erie City Council, a body that had been known for a century as the "City Fathers."

Last spring, as a dark horse candidate in a Democratic primary election field of six that included the heavy hitters of city gov­ernment — such as Acting Erie Mayor Patricia Liebel '53 — Savocchio pulled off another major upset to take the Demo­cratic nomination. The November gen­eral election seemed almost anti-climatic as she breezed to victory against Republi­can Stan Prazer.

But things weren't always politics and intellect for Savocchio. For instance, when she was 13, she was "more into Elvis than running for anything," says the new mayor's life-long best friend Rita Cappello '64.

"We had Hound Dog banks, DA hair­cuts, everything," according to Cappello, the woman who engineered the historic election of Erie's first woman mayor.

But Cappello, who served as Savocchio's campaign manager and closest advisor during the hectic spring and fall campaign, said Joyce spent most of her adult life interested in politics. "After those Elvis Presley days, her interest changed to poli­tics. She was always politically motivated," Cappello said.

Joyce was born in Erie, Nov. 9,1942, the daughter of Daniel and Esther Leone Sa­vocchio. While the family lived above the Brown Avenue Food Market, operated by Joyce's father, she attended Irving Elemen-

tary School, Roosevelt Junior High School and then graduated from Strong Vincent High School in 1961.

She went on to Mercyhurst, then the University of Pittsburgh and, finally, Edin-boro University for her school administra­tor's papers.

She began her teaching career at East High School, then participated in the Erie School District's unique "Project Individ­ual" program before returning to Strong Vincent to teach.

After serving as president of the EEA, she became assistant principal at Strong Vincent.

"In her early years, I guess she was pretty shy," recalls her mother. "I guess it was about the fifth grade when she sort of took hold of herself.

"We lived upstairs of the store, and she would come home from school and go upstairs and do her homework or what­ever had to be done. She knew where we

were if she needed us." Mrs. Savocchio said she also considered her daughter "maybe a little more mature" than kids her own age.

"When she was maybe eight or nine, she'd always be watching television news, taking an interest in what was going on, I don't think she wanted to be mayor then, she was always talking about teaching."

Mrs. Savocchio recalls her daughter "began talking about teaching" when she was attending Roosevelt Junior High School. "Then she got into that Kennedy debate in high school and I began to think that something else was in store for her somewhere along the way. She began to love history, she would live her history and that's what made her a good teacher."

The new mayor's mother said her daughter was fiercely independent; "But then again, she always knew we were there if she needed us. We' reextremely proud of her."

"I remember that Kennedy debate well," Savocchio said. "I was Kennedy, someone else was Nixon. When I won, I started to think maybe I could run for something like

City Council. It was on my mind even back then, when I was a senior in high school."

After high school, Savocchio said she treated herself to a trip to Washington, D.C.

"It was a wonder­ful experience, seeing all those young people in govern­ment, feeling all that energy," she said. "I was thinking about politics and govern­ment service even then."

But she said she never once considered running for mayor until about two years ago.

"It just wasn't some­thing I thought about be­fore then," Savocchio said. "It was then I decided I would try my best to do what was right, what had to be done."

Her longtime friend, Rita Cappello, said she and Joyce began entertaining thoughts about the fifth floor City Hall office occu­pied by Louis Tullio for so many years, later in Sa-vocchio's second term on the council.

"We were both so po­litically motivated, it just naturally came up as an option, something to talk

about," Cappello said. Savocchio said she often remembers the

closing lines of one of her favorite movies, 1972's "The Candidate," starring Robert Redford. After a tough campaign for U.S. Senator in the movie, Redford, the under­dog, finds himself the surprise winner and asks a colleague, "Now what?"

"I've thought of that movie often," Savocchio said, "But there will be no 'Now what?' for me. I've always known the chal­lenge before us and now, hopefully, we'll meet that challenge and, together, we'll make Erie a great city, one we can all be proud of."

From Mercyhurst to City Hall, from class president to mayor, Joyce Savocchio will never be a long shot again. Jeff Pinski is an award-winning journalist for the Morning News. He has covered all major news stories in city government in his 23-year newspaper career.

It was 3 p.m. on a Monday, and I was standing by the main door of the new Maura Smith Child Learning Center waiting to speak with its director, Candy Jaruszewicz, when they stormed the building.

It was a group of school age kids from St. Luke's. They charged past me on their way to the red room. Once they were all inside, the group (4 and 5 year olds) that was already in the room formed a line inside the door. The little boy at the front of the line braced himself against the door frame as his comrades pushed forward.

Hi

Then, along came what must have been a general, a person of over 5 feet in height who carried an authoritative air, to lead them into the blue room.

'Is everybody ready?" Yeaaaaa!" 'Okay, off we go. Hup, two, three,

four." And off they went. As the last soldier disappeared down

the hall, Jaruszewicz emerged from her office, introduced herself, and we set off on a tour of the center.

The first room we entered was yellow, which is reserved for babies. There was a yellow clock on the wall, yellow blinds on the windows and all the babies had their names printed on yellow half-moon cut-

outs hanging from the ceiling. "Cool," I thought. One baby was sleeping and two others were being fed, so not too many exciting things going on there, except for the infant on a yellow counter top. Jaruszewicz told me it was diaper chang­ing time. "Not cool," I thought as I edged toward the door.

According to Jaruszewicz, each baby has a daily report card on which "any little cute thing" the baby does during the day is written. She mentioned such earth shattering examples as a new tooth, the first step or the first time a child says, "Dada."

I thought they were all lovely and teas-ingly asked about the possibility of tak­ing one home with me. However, accord­ing to Jaruszewicz, her system of identifi­cation cards and request forms make it impossible for anyone other than the parent and guardians to take a baby.

We then passed through the kitchen to reach the green room, which was filled with happy, noisy toddlers happily munching on their Doritos. Three o'clock is snack time at the center.

I felt like Lemuel Gulliver as I traveled through the room looking at the little people, eating their little snacks, sitting on their little chairs at their little tables. As for the restrooms, they really made me feel that I was in Lilliput: miniature toilets and miniature sinks for miniature people.

Paper cutouts of moons, stars, clouds, rainbows and balloons hung from the ceiling. "Very psychedelic," I thought, "Maybe I'll decorate my room like that."

On the wall above the sinks was a poster of a toddler in diapers sitting on a restroom floor amidst a mass of unraveled toilet paper. I asked Jaruszewicz if

such a poster encouraged similar misbe­havior. She said that toddlers knew how to play with the paper long before the poster went up. She added that the toilets had been blocked up a few times already as the children sometimes get a little car­ried away with the joys of potty training.

The next room was the blue room, where the 3 year olds hang out. As we cut across the main corridor, Jaruszewicz explained that the reason the corridors were so wide is because it enables the kids to ride their tricycles indoors during the winter. I was never allowed to ride my tricycle indoors.

The kids in the blue room were enjoy­ing the movie "Bambi" and were very well behaved. However, Jaruszewicz assured me that they were not always this easy to entertain. She then pointed out a secret weapon for zapping those day­care blues. The tiles in the blue room were arranged in a baseball field design. When things get too much, they clear the field and play baseball. I never had an indoor baseball field when I was small.

I asked a work-study supervisor if the children watched many videos. Only once a week she said. So this is a special treat for them, I said. No, It's a special

treat for me she said. Jaruszewicz said that the kids' long and grueling day of eating, playing, taking walks, story tell­ing, singing and Sesame Street begins at 7:30 a.m. and goes until 5:30 p.m. or when­ever the parents come. Although some­times they have to learn the alphabet and colors and other fun stuff.

The last room was the red room, in which inhabitants were playing "Show and Tell." It sounds like a great game. The kids bring something from home, show it and tell about it.

I noticed a little boy on a blanket lying in a corner of the room away from the blue room kids who had crashed for a while. He would join his group when he

awoke. This sort of casual, easygoing attitude epitomized the family atmos­phere that exists in the Maura Smith Child Learning Center.

By the time we reached the main foyer, the toddlers from the green room had invaded the main play area. A miniature playhouse was the focus of their activi­ties. They seemed to be carrying out a project to see how many toddlers could fit in a 3 foot by 3 foot playhouse. I counted 11 at one stage.

As I left the center, my head filled with visions of balloons, rainbows, toys, fairytales and songs, I thought how great it would be to be a kid again.

Child care comes to the Hurst Dr. William Garvey, Candy Jaruszewicz, Sr. Maura Smith

and Timothy McCormickat the reception after the dedication of the Maura Smith Child Learning Center. McCormick hosted the reception.

During World War II, when women filled the jobs of men who were drafted into military service, Congress passed legislation to provide funds for day care. After the war, the public programs ended.

Today, with two-income families the norm, the need for child care again increased. Re­sponsibility for both family and work have put a great deal of pressure on parents. Besides availability, the issue of affordability is crucial. Child care can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $15,000 per year, per child, with the average cost at about $3,000 a year.

One of the roughly 2,500 U.S. companies helping employees with child-care needs is Mercyhurst College. On Sun., Oct. 29, it became one of the even fewer number of employers with an on-site facility when it dedicated its new day-care center to Sr. Maura Smith, who led the campaign to keep day care at the college.

The new center, licensed for 91 children aging from four weeks to 12 years, was built by McCormick Materials, Inc. of Erie. It was designed by John Ritz '89, Kim Thomas '90, Sharon Capela '90 and Renee Book '90, four Mercyhurst College students majoring in interior design, under the supervision of Kathy Mara Weidenboerner, instructor in interior design; Margaret Carney, a registered architect, and Candy Jaruszewicz, the center's director.

The keys to the $257,000,4,800-square-foot facility were officially handed over to the center's director by Timothy J. McCormick of McCormick Materials.

Dr. William P. Garvey, Mercyhurst College president, said that under a year ago, the future of day care at the Hurst was very shaky and that the administration was not very enthusiastic about day care. However, Garvey added, the perseverance and "tenacity" of Smith brought about change in the administration's thinking, and so the center was given the go ahead.

"The center will provide youngsters with excellent care in a supportive environment. The children who attend will have a much better chance of doing well in school and developing into productive adults who will contribute to society," said Sr. Maura.

Smith, who is a Mercyhurst trustee, was the prinicipal of Mercyhurst Preparatory School for 10 years until she was elected Superior of the Sisters of Mercy of Erie County in June 1989.

The day care is called a learning center because it is also a vehicle by which students in a child-related major get their experience. Group supervisors must have a college degree in a child-related major. Mercyhurst has eight supervisors—one for each age group. "This was a board requirement in order to support the academic supervision of the college interns and work-study students that work at the center," Jaruszewicz explains. "We utilize 25 students a year," she said.

The new Maura Smith Child Learning Center has a color-coded design system by which the children recognize what rooms or materials belong to their age group: yellow for infants, green for toddlers, blue for 3 year olds and red for ages four and up.

Floor and countertop colors match the various age groups. An innovative floor tile arrangement creates a miniature baseball field, (for Nerf baseball only) and hopscotch design, as well as the U.S. flag.

The facility is open to children of Mercyhurst College faculty, administration, staff and students, and also to children of employees of Mercyhurst Prep, Mercy Center for the Arts, St. Luke School, and to children of Mercyhurst alumni, trustees, parents, friends and bene­factors.

The fees for the center range from $1.60 per hour to $65 for a week, which, according to Jaruszewicz, are lower than other day-care facilities in the community. Other rates average from $75 to $100 per week for infant care and vary with each different age group.

Martha Caldwell became actively in­volved with GROW in July and was matched with Mary Hope Wilson as her mentor. Since that time, she has returned to school for her General Educational Development Certificate and is making long-term plans regarding further educa­tion.

GROW, which stands for Grass Roots Opportunities for Women, is an organiza­tion of volunteers that serves as advocates for women, offers leadership, trains other women to take leadership roles, builds bridges among other agencies and pro­grams, and develops a network to better serve the poor in the Erie community.

Wilson, a friend of Patricia (Tish) Donze '88, executive director of GROW, feels she has gained as much as Martha from the relationship. "I've always worked to help women," Wilson says, "but Martha is adding a wonderful new dimension to my life with her personality and sense of humor. In circumstances when others would let problems weigh them down, Martha has another way of looking at life, and I feel blessed that she shares that healthy balance with me."

While Hope helps Martha with mun­dane chores like grocery shopping, doc­tor's appointments and such, most of their time together is personal time. "We do fun things," Wilson explains, "like getting together for meals, walks on the penin­sula with Martha's kids, Amy and Mat­thew, and simply spending time getting to know each other better."

"I see the men­toring program as very important. We have begun match­ing these volunteers on a one-to-one ba­sis with women who need someone to lis­ten and talk to," Donze explained. "With the help of their mentors, these women will be able to get through the difficult transitions they are experienc­ing. I know it is making a differ­ence."

Martha Caldwell agrees. She saw an article about Tish

and the GROW program in a local paper and contacted the agency. Martha, a single mother with two young children, needed support and help in a variety of areas.

"Many people who ask for support and services need financial as well as emo­tional help," commented Tish. "But I was so impressed with Martha. When I asked her what help she needed, she replied that what she really needed was help in under­standing who she was as a person, and everything else would flow from there. It takes a lot of wisdom to react that way with all the problems she has had."

Carol Moorehead is another Erie woman who has profited by GROW. "Tish is an inspiration," Moorehead asserts. "She has given me the confidence to go back to school in January at the Art Insti­tute in Pittsburgh, something I've wanted to complete all my life. Without her sup­port, I would never have the guts to take the risk and finish what I started in 1954."

Moorehead sees the network of women in Erie as the main reason she returned after several years in Florida. "I never found a group of women like those I've met in Erie. While I was doing well with my career in Florida, it never provided the satisfaction in personal relationships that I have gained here. And when I get my bachelor's degree in art, I plan to return to Erie to work and to give back to other women what GROW has given to me."

These two stories are just the tip of the iceberg for the services that GROW can provide. As the project continues, new

programs are beginning to take shape. These include support groups for single women, brown bag networking lunches and a unique mentoring program.

"Housing and jobs still remain at the top of our priorities," says Sr. Maura Smith, Superior of the Sisters of Mercy, who founded GROW. "We will be study­ing these issues and will call on the Sisters of Mercy of America to help us in Erie pro­vide answers to help alleviate the housing needs, especially with respect to single parents. We need to dream and make that dream a reality by solving basic economic problems that create a trap for many women."

Tish Donze agrees. "All that the women who drop by the GROW center need is a chance. Ninety-eight percent of those I see aren't misusing the established gov­ernment systems. They are trying very hard to get their lives together and get out of the system. The programs coming out of GROW can help them do that."

Sr. Phyllis Marie McDonald, assistant director of GROW, recently returned from the Southwest where she worked with women on a Navajo reservation. She sees the problems of the Erie women who visit the GROW center as similar to women on the reservation. "It is a basic problem of self-esteem and empowering these women to grab hold of their own futures," according to Sr. Phyllis. "Like the women on the reservation, these women have not realized their own strength and potential, and their own leadership abilities. We need to help them help themselves and train them to take over the programs they help create."

"We've only begun to scratch the sur­face," adds Sr. Maura. "Our hope is that the GROW center will live up to its name: a place where women learn and grow."

Corrine Halperin-Egan '80 is the executive director of the Northwestern Pennsylvania Area Labor Management Council. She has been a member of GROW s steering commit­tee since 1988.

How GROW

got storted The Sisters of Mercy of Erie decided to act as a

catalyst in developing an advocacy program for women, especially the poor, based on the U.S. Bish­ops statement: "A call for economic justice."

Contacting the many diverse agencies and or­ganizations that serve women, including existing women's groups, a community wide interest coa­lesced with the idea of empowering women so they not only receive the services that are available but, more important, learn to help themselves. A steer­ing committee spearheaded by Congregation Supe­rior Sr. Maura Smith and consisting of approxi­mately 20 women from a cross-section of agencies and groups began to meet in October 1988.

Quickly the group sprang to action, holding a series of community Town Hall meetings that al­lowed dialogue among leaders from the various organizations and agencies which made up the steering committee. These meetings also included many women who were presently taking advantage of such services as well as those who were unable to do so because of barriers that exist to receiving services.

Following the Town Hall meetings, the steering committee broke into task forces to research pro­grams and areas of concern raised by the women at the meetings. Task forces formed on day care, housing, transportation, coordination of benefits for education and job training, medical treatment, legal services, advocacy and single women under the age of 60 who are alone.

The group became convinced that, by working together, they could make a difference in providing needed services for women. Consequently, a pro­gram to help women on welfare seek job training through the Job Training Partnership Act was pro­posed. The steering committee was instrumental in helping the Benedictine Sisters receive the grant and set up a single point of contact for the program. This grass roots organization, the steering committee decided, was the program's strongest point and adopted the name Grass Roots Opportunities for Women, or GROW.

As the groups began to research their areas of concern, it became apparent that there was a need for a centralized resource center that could be used for counseling, support groups, seminars and work­shops, and other activities. Plans began to center around setting up an office and hiring staff to imple­ment the programs that would be developed. The Sisters of Mercy found an office at 918 Peach St. and in the true spirit of volunteerism, members of the steering committee and the congregation worked to ready the space for occupancy. At the same time, Patricia (Tish) Donze came on staff as executive director and Sr. Phyllis Marie McDonald as assistant director. The remainder of the staff is volunteers from both the Sisters of Mercy and the general com­munity. The GROW center opened on June 29,1989.

Mercyhunst opens window of communication with gorillas

By Karen McGuire'92

"When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and con­centrate more on the preservation of the future/'... written in block letter on the finalpage of DianFossey'spersonal jour­nal.

In a world threatened by extinction, humans are starting to realize the impor­tance of harmony amongst the species. Several humans are making great efforts to break the barrier of communication and increase awareness of our distant relative, the gorilla.

In September, Mercyhurst College pre­sented the motion picture, "Gorillas in the Mist." The movie served as a intro­duction to a lecture by Joanne Tanner, re­search assistant and representative of the Gorilla Foundation (a gorilla research cen­ter in Woodside, CA). The lecture en­titled, "Communicating with Animals: Crossing Cultures with Koko," attracted an audience of approximately 250 people of all ages to the Mercyhurst campus.

"I wanted Joanne to speak to the col­lege community because, from a biolo­gist's point of view, the gorilla is a win­dow for humans to learn what life is all about. The more windows we look through, the better off we humans are," said Dr. Lewis Lutton, associate profes­sor of biology at Mercyhurst. "By study­ing gorillas, we can learn a lot about our own existence," he said.

The movie, "Gorillas in the Mist," about Dian Fossey's life with mountain gorillas has done a great service for these endan­gered primates. The film has brought the plight of the gorilla into the hearts and minds of many and dramatically demon­strates that one person can make a differ­ence.

Joanne Tanner is one of those people trying to make a difference. "My study of gorillas has helped me to understand who I am and where I came from," she said during her presentation. "My work with gorillas Koko and Michael has added fo­cus to my life and has even led me to make a career change." Tanner plans to leave her career as a classical violinist and vio­lin teacher to pursue studies in anthro­pology.

Through the work of Tanner and oth­ers at the Gorilla Foundation, much has been learned about gorillas. Koko and Michael use sign language — the familiar hand speech of the deaf — to communi­cate their needs, thoughts and feelings. The two have even created some unique

/ /

/ /

signs of their own to suit their individual personalities. Indeed, the communica­tion barrier has been broken and a whole world of understanding left open to be discovered. Koko and Michael have used sign language to make a point, to joke, to express their displeasure and even to lie their way out of trouble.

For example, one day, Koko removed a chopstick from a drawer, then sneaked over to a window and tried to poke a hole through the screen. Discovered, she pre­tended to smoke the chopstick. When the researcher took the chopstick and de­manded to know what was going on, Koko responded with the sign for smoke," followed by the sign for mouth." Translated this means, "I was

smoking." At eight years of age, Koko had exploited language the way human beings do, proving that her breed shares sensitivities commonly held to be the prerogative of people.

"Tanner's research in animal commu­nication shows that when you get past the speech problems, animals can communi­cate complex thoughts, create ideas and words, use humor and be deceitful. This tells us to what extent the human mind is unique or akin to our brethren," said Dr. Lutton. Now that the window of commu­nication with gorillas is open, the key to the primates' survival and, perhaps even our own, may rely on a whole new world of understanding just beginning to be discovered.

Karen McGuire is a sophomore with a business-communications major at Mercy­hurst College. She is also a student assistant in the external affairs office.

NEW FORMAT FOR WMCE, 88.5

This October, residents on The Hill, like Thoreau, heard a different drummer. Last year's classic rock format was re­vised to include programming for Erie that didn't exist anywhere else. The new format includes religious, cultural and educational programming, as well as blasts from the past featuring an "Oldies but Goodies" show and classics from the Golden Age of Radio such as Abbott & Costello and Jack Benny. There is also a Mercyhurst hour that features various college faculty and student activities and an international music segment. Accord­ing to Tony Zgela '91, station manager, the new format "gives students a chance to appreciate a variety of programming while learning the broadcast profession." The goal of the change is to meet Federal Communication Commission licensing requirements and community needs as well as to give students practical training in a real radio station. For a program guide, write to John Leisering '81, WMCE general manager, c/o Mercyhurst Col­lege, Baldwin, Room 86, Erie, PA 16546.

RESEARCH GRANT TO STUDY LYME DISEASE

To determine how abundant deer ticks carrying Lyme dis­ease are in the areas of Erie County, the Erie County De­partment of Health gave Mer­

cyhurst a $3,800 grant to assist in a deer tick surveillance program. Dr. Michael Campbell, assistant profes­sor of biology, says Mercyhurst is working in conjunction with other area colleges to determine the num­ber and locations of ticks carrying the Lyme disease. Mercyhurst biology majors, supervised by Lisa Danko and Mike Campbell, are collecting ticks in South Millcreek, Summit, Greene, Waterford and LeBoeuf townships. 'This grant serves as an excellent opportunity for students to

New student union to be built— This architect's rendering by Gray, Weber, Kern and MacKrell shows what the new student union will look like situated on the bluff overlooking the grotto. The side overlooking the grotto will be glass. The bottom floor will open onto the grotto. The new building will contain a great room with a fireplace for social gatherings, a smaller all-purpose room, reading rooms, meeting rooms, the cove with a game room, a post office, a bookstore, a chapel, student government offices and campus ministry. The $2 million, three-story student union will be named after Sr. Carolyn Herrmann,

become involved with a real life prob­lem/ ' said Campbell.

Ironically, this grant comes at a time when one of Mercyhurst 's own is stricken with the disease. Paul Id-dings, assistant professor of theatre, was diagnosed as having the disease over a year ago. Iddings, who was first unaware of the disease afflicting him, is now paralyzed from the mid-chest down. Through therapy at both Hamot Medical Center and the Great Lakes Rehabilitation Hospital, Iddings is training to live independently with his physical limitations. Those wish­ing to get in touch with Paul can write him at Erie Independence House, 956 West 2nd St., Erie, PA, 16505.

MERCYHURST'S PIONEER IN EDUCATION DIES AT 91

Sister Mary Susanne Eimer, Mercyhurst College's pioneer in education, died on November 25,1989, at the age of 91. Her educational background includes a teach­ing certificate from Fredonia, NY, Normal School, a bachelor's degree in English from Mercyhurst in 1926, and her master's de­gree in education from the University of

Pittsburgh. Sr. Susanne contin­ued her studies at Columbia U n i v e r s i t y , Canisius Col­lege, Western Reserve Univer-sity and Penn State University. After joining the Sisters of Mercy in 1926, Sr. Su­sanne became a dedicated tea­cher who set out

to educate the whole child by stressing a di­rect relationship with God. She taught in the college's education department from 1952-1970, after which time, she was named professor emeritus. Sr. Susanne had also been director of Mercyhurst's curriculum library from 1971 until her retirement in 1985. In 1982, Sr. Susanne was named "Educator of the Year" by Mercyhurst College. The curriculum library was named the Eimer Library in her honor later in 1985. According to Sr. Maura Smith, Supe­rior of the Sisters of Mercy, Sr. Susanne's career was very unique because of the number of lives that she influenced. Her teaching techniques and philosophies were passed on to her students who went on to teach the generations that followed. Sr. Maura said, "She was a teacher of teachers whose influence multiplied as as her career progressed. The number of lives that she touched was phenomenal." Sr. Susanne is survived by three nieces, Mary Katherine Donovan '45, Susanne Ulmer and Adeline Hayes; and two nephews, James and Ger­ald McGeever.

MERCYHURST RETIRES DEBT

Sr. Carolyn Herrmann tearing up mortgage.

A check for $903,000 was presented to Marine Bank at the Board of Trustees meeting on Mon., Oct. 16, paying off the $1 million loan the college took out two years ago. This payoff means Zurn, McAuley and Baldwin halls are now debt free. Chairman James Zurn gave the mortgages of Zurn and Baldwin to Sr. Carolyn Herrmann to tear up. Sister was president of Mercyhurst when these two buildings were built. The honor for destroying the McAuley mortgage went to Sr. M. Eustace Taylor, who was president when McAuley was built. Dr. William P. Garvey thanked everyone in the college community for their assistance in re­moving these mortgages. "By putting this debt before other needs and making this pay­off our priority, the college's future has been significantly strengthened/' said Garvey.

The usually quiet Mercyhurst cam­pus was filled with families the weekend of Oct. 20 - 22. The occa­sion: The 14th Annual Parents Weekend, or as it was appropri­

ately titled, "Family Ties." the weekend was filled with various

educational, social and athletic activities for students to share with their parents. These few days dedicated to families, also gave parents the opportunity to "get ac­quainted" with Mercyhurst and all that the school has to offer their sons and daugh­ters.

Students Maria Bavisotto '90 and Col­leen Coneglio '91, chairperson and co-chairperson of the event, respectively, were responsible for planning the weekend with the help of Bonnie Clark and the alumni relations staff.

Parents Weekend kicked off Friday evening with a welcome reception. There was also a play, "Berlin to Broadway" produced by the theatre department and "The Magic of Stuart and Laurie," a magic act sponsored by the Student Activities Committee.

On Saturday, there was a faculty recep­tion where parents could meet Mer-cyhursfs faculty and administrators. Close to 250 people showed up and parents commented on the special interest that the Mercyhurst family had in their students. This quality of individual attention defi-nately sets Mercyhurst apart from other institutions.

After the faculty reception, families filled the cafeteria for a German-style buffet luncheon prepared by John Wolper and his hotel restaurant and institutional management staff. A musical group, The Happy Musicians, entertained the lunch­eon crowd by playing popular German melodies.

Saturday afternoon was dedicated to sporting events ranging from a Laker foot­ball game against Geneva to a champion-winning women's soccer game against Bethany.

In the evening, the traditional dinner/ dance was held at the Shrine Club. Close to 600 people gathered to­gether to dine and dance with other Mercyhurst families. The special guest speaker was Sr. M. Eu­stace Taylor,

a charter member of the college faculty and also a former Mother Superior and presi­dent of the school. Immediately following the dinner, families danced the night away to the hits of disc jockey John.

Parents Weekend 1989 concluded on Sunday with Mass in the beautiful Christ the King Chapel followed by a brunch in Egan Dinning Hall.

Alumni News

10-Year Club kicks off season with picnic

The 10-Year Club kicked off its season with a picnic at Kanty Village on Fri., Aug. 11,1989. Picnic fare included 6 foot subma­rine sandwiches, potato salad, chips, cook­ies and plenty of beverages. The picnic was a family affair with several alums bringing their children (future Mercyhurst alums?). There was also music and games for those who were brave enough to test the bat against the pitching arm of Chris Fraser '87 or Tom Dore '81.

One guest, a graduate of the University of Dayton, was especially impressed that Mercyhurst has such an organization and that so many fun-loving alums partici­pated. Watch your mail for future 10-Year Club events.

of Cleveland Party Boat. Approximately 30 people from the Cleveland area at­tended the event. Alumni enjoyed an afternoon of cruising on the lake along with a sit-down brunch. Several lucky attendees were the recipients of prizes that were awarded at the end of the after­noon.

Attending from the college were Dr. William P. Garvey, president; Gary Bukowski, director of institutional ad­vancement; Dr. Robert Cisek, director of the business division; and Bonnie Clark, director of alumni relations.

The afternoon provided a great oppor­tunity for Cleveland area alums to get to know each other and be brought up-to-date on goings-on at the college.

Alumni celebrate coming home

"Celebrate Coming Home" was an ap­propriate theme for this year's homecom­ing celebration at Mercyhurst. Approxi­mately 500 alumni returned, including "The Golden Girls" from the Class of 1939 who were celebrating their 50th anniver­sary.

Besides the usual tailgate party, football and soccer games, there was a special Cadet Teacher Luncheon marking the 30th year of the program at Mercyhurst. Sr. Patricia Whalen '63, director of the program, wel-

Alumni Board President Lance Lavrinc presents Linda Colvin Rhodes with the 1989 Distinguished Alumna Award,

corned 40 former students. "I'd like to see this activity continued," said one weekend attendee who would like Mercyhurst to have the cadet luncheon again next year.

Another new event this year was the wine tasting demonstration, presented by Michael Barnes, assistant professor of ho­tel restaurant and institutional manage­ment (HRIM). Besides sampling the local vineyards, the attendees picked up a great deal of knowledge on selecting and serv­ing wine with a complement of various foods. Credit should also be given to HRIM students, who prepared and served a spe­cial Alumni Board recognition dinner and an elegant president's reception for special anniversary classes.

This year, alumni were given an option of attending the formal awards dinner or a 5th Quarter pizza party. Approximately 80 people, mostly young alumni, attended the pizza party, which was hosted by the 10-Year Club at the Laker Inn. The awards dinner was attended by about 200 alumni. The awards dinner is always one of the high points of the weekend. After a deli­cious dinner prepared by John Washing­ton and his cafeteria staff, the audience heard speeches by Sr. M. Eustace Taylor, who celebrated her 60th anniversary, and from representatives from the 10th, 25th and 50th anniversary classes. Class speaker for the 10th anniversary class was repre­sentative Michael E. Heller '79, former president of the Alumni Board, Marilyn (Schreiner) Wagner '64 spoke on behalf of the silver anniversary class and the Class of 1939 speaker was Eugenia "Gegie" (An-drecovich) O'Brien.

Also at the dinner, the Distinguished

Alumna of the Year award was presented by Lance J. Lavrinc '83, Alumni Board president. This year's recipient was Dr. Linda Colvin Rhodes '70. Dr. Rhodes is currently the secretary of aging for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. She was chosen for this honor by the executive board of the Alumni Association for her outstanding contribution to the college, the community and her profession.

Returning alumni expressed feelings that the weekend brought back fond memories of their life at Mercyhurst. "Seeing classmates for the first time in 20 years was wonderful/' said Mary Fisher Wiesen '69. Although some of the tradi­tions have changed due to needed growth and development the spirit of Mercyhurst remains the same.

Career Resource Center to begin operation

The office of alumni relations, in coop­eration with the office of career services, is beginning a networking system for alumni who are looking for jobs. This service, called the Mercyhurst College Career Re­source Center, will operate strictly as a re­source center. It will not act as a placement office or make recommendations to em­ployers. The purpose of the resource cen­ter is to provide information to alumni about known job openings. If you are aware of position openings within your company or are looking for a position, you may contact the office of alumni relations. We will send you a "Job Card" that lists specific position openings or will pass your information on to others seeking employ­ment.

Additionally, if you would be interested in becoming a host/hostess in your area, please notify the alumni office. Hosts/ hostesses act as a contact for alumni or stu­dents coming to a new area to introduce them to the city and, hopefully, to other alumni in the area. With over 6,000 Mer­cyhurst alumni, we are now in a position to

provide aid to our fellow alums whether it be in the form of job-hunting or "welcome" services. Your participation in this net­working system will en­sure its success.

Enclosed in this copy of the Mercyhurst Magazine is a Networking Data Card. If you are looking for a position or know of a position, just complete and return the card to the alumni office. We will then notify you if a position match­ing your degree / experience becomes avail­able. Any questions about the Career Resource Center can be addressed to Bon­nie Clark, director of alumni relations at (814) 825-0538.

We're looking for you

Mercyhurst Magazine is looking for alumni to include in future articles that we are currently formulating. If you serve on a corporate or foundation board, are a community or corporate leader, have published or are about to publish a book or have written articles in professional publi­cations, are part of a legacy of graduates from Mercyhurst College, have an un­usual family story or other stories of inter­est to tell... we want to know. Write to us c/o Mercyhurst Magazine, office of external affairs, Mercyhurst College, Glenwood Hills, Erie, PA 16546.

Alumni phonathon

Be ready to answer your phones. A friendly Mercyhurst alum or student will be calling you this February. Why? To reach our $60,000 goal.

The Mercyhurst community is proud to show its colors.

THE CORPUS OF JESUS (shown above) was designed and sculpted by William Roger Clark, Mercyhurst adjunct faculty member. The figure of Christ stands about 8 feet from head to toe and hangs in The Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America's Word of God Church in Inchon, South Korea. It is constructed of steel reinforcement rods that were cut and heated into individual shapes then welded into place. The individual rods symbolically represent the many members that make up the body of Christ. The cross is constructed of reinforced steel. Special supports secure the work, which took 15 months to make.
