Criticizing socialites from Mercyhurst andVilla with their male counterparts atGannon had one less complaint to registerthe week-end of March 27. They couldn'tmoan about Hhe lack of "things to do." ThatSunday saw a full schedule of worthwhileactivities at all three schools with' an N.S.A.Area M eeting at Mercyhu rst in the afternoon, plus Shakespeare's COMEDY OFERRORS at Villa and Gannon's Lay Missionary Forum. Because of the multitude ofevents, the N.S.A. meeting suffered a lastminute cancellation. Sunday night the confusion continued with! our glee club's annual production coinciding with Villa'sMACBETH. It is hoped the newly-formed Intercollegiate Committee will prevent suchconflict from appearing on next year'scalendar. tNo More Radicals?

We of Mercyhurst have been challenged!In his article, "No More Radicals," in theMarch 19 issue ofI America, A ndrew M.Greeley says that we think only of beer, talkonly of sex, and want only to get married.He adds, "The young people of the 1960'smay drink too much and may be much morerelaxed about sexual talk;'"if 'not sexualmorali ty , but a t heart they are died-in-thewool conservatives. To those who believethat i t is the function of the young- to dreamdreams and to inject new life into a triedsociety, this is a disturbing si tuation."t /The author lists examples of formerlyactive" organizations which have fallen bythe wayside because we are not interested inthem. Y. C. S. is mentioned among movements which have lost their fire. We don'teven gel excited about sports witness thepoor attendance at high school and collegefootball and basketball games, and the predominance of adult fans among those, whodo attend. IL

Giving us a final stab, Mr. Greeley saystliat we know we're apathetic and if someone attac ks us for being indifferent, we "takea few neat notes, applaud politely, ask someintelligent questions, and -then wend (our)way back to (our) comfortable homes."Can we rise to this challenge1 ? Do we dareto "dream dreams?" Are we concerned onlywith obtaining a secure little niche;in s u b 'urbia, or do we want to really do something,with our livessomething big and different!Potential radicals, arise and be counted!

SIGN View s Africa's eeasSpeaking of spring breezes, Mc' f ind thatgood tailwind they ca n!

helped |j along by the factthat they no longer have to wearparka s and snows hoes, now tha tErie temperatures have climbed toalmost 25 degrees.Studying has become a thing ofthe past. Students find that theirtime can be more profitablyspent .walking to Art's, walkingacross campus, or walking up anddown the halls.With the first glimmer of sunlight that finds its way to Mercyhurst, the sun-bathers rush to thedeck porches, sweep away thesnow, and begin the annual, desperate race to win the coveted

title of "First-in-My-Gang-with-a-Tan." Teachers, seeing theirstudents looking almost healthy,fear that they have been giventoo little work, and so the assignments are doubled and tripled.Bridge has given way to Hopscotch and Jump-rope. Studentsfind tha t nothing eases the ten sions of the day like a good gameof "Ice-CreamSodaGinger Ale

Pop" after classes.

An urgent three-point program for Americans to help Africa'sstruggle to join the modern world'is called for by Th e (Sign. NationalCatholic Monthly, in its April issue.(1) Build a stronger relationship with Africa by trying to{understand th e contin ent's diverse parts, by cleaning up {the U. 8. race

problem and by giving economic help through capital Investments, andby sending abroad more technical experts. (2) Launch a programeven a crusadefor scholarships for Africans to U. S. Catholic collegesso that their countries can benefit from articulate spokesmen trainedin a religious environment. (3) Encourage young, apostolic Americans,who are equipped in a professionor craft, to go to Africa as laymissionaries; the need for doctors,nurses, teachers, engineers, andJournalists is desperate.

youngtoIn the springtime aman's fancy lightly turnsthoughts of Mercyhurst, and arash of afternoon dates breaks

out.The climax of ""Springtime atMercyhu rst" comes, when the students a re . treated to a n i excitingweek of 'rehearsals, ceremonies,and final examinations.

Betty Lu WinsAssistantship

Initiative and hard w o r kthroughout her college careerhave proven rewarding for BettyLu Dorsogna, daughter of Mr. andMrs. Amos Dorsgna, of Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania.Betty Lu has been granted anassistantship for $1300 at BostonCollege in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Aided by this award, shewill earn her Master's Degree inguidance and counseling while sheassists various professors in theirclass du ties for 12 hours eachweek.It was through her experienceas a students counselor for Freshman Orientation and as a C.C.D.teacher that Betty Lu first became interested in guidance wo> k.After obtaining her degree, she intends to teach elementary schoolfor a few years and eventuallyenter the field of counseling. Betty Lu. an elementary education major and psychology minor, has been engaged in a varietyof extra-curricular activities during her four years of college;including Sodality, Student Coun

cil, Elementary Education Seminar, Y.C.S.r Athletic Association,a n d C C. D. She is listed in Who'sW ho in American Colleges andUniversities, and is now StudentCouncil ipresi d e n .

"This help is urgent," says TheSign, "because Africa is vulnerablet o s e c u l a r i s m , C o mm un ismand Moslemlsm." "The fast spreadof Islam in Africa," the magazinecontinues, "has escaped the scrutiny of world opinion. There are90 million Moslems In Africa, andfor every 10 Africans convertedfrom paganism, Islam wins sevenand Christianity only three."

Black Africa is leaping from theneolithic to the nuclear age," themagazine says. ".Now is the timefor us to shake off our cliche ap-i>roach to a continent afire andstudy it beneath its superficialities.""The Church,j remains the mostpotent force for good on the continent.?; On her success in reaching and influencing the remaining85 - million pagansthe race willbe over within ten years dependsAfrica's glory orl disaster."In adddtion to His EminenceCardinal Lau rian Rugam bwa, ofTanganyika, the first Negro Car

dinal in the history of the RomanCatholic Church, The Sign notesthat there are now 30 Negro bishops, 2,000 Negro priests, and 5,000Negro sisters serving the continent's 24 million Catholics.

CLUB MODERATORSK e y W o r d - C o o p e r a t i o n 'one of the most widely discussed topics on the M ercyhurst Campusin recent months has been "clubs." In themselves, clubs have beenthoroughly investigated and the inquiry is now centeredlaround clubmoderators, club of 1 leers, and club members. IIn a recent survey of club moderators and students the followingopinions were reoeived on the question, "What do you think the position of olub moderator entails?"I think the olub moderator should be a oo-ordinator, but shouldgive only restrained guidance.Club moderators should be willing to give advice if necessary, butallow the student freedom in deciding whether or not to follow it.. . . to make sure the meetings are well planned and well organized and to offer suggestions if asked. f. . . should be an invisible guiding hand, appearing only when{ the abilities, of the students arenot adequate.. . . to supervise all the activities, ohaperone activities, seethat officers fulfil duties.. . . the students should doall the planning. Then the planshould be okay'd by the moderator.

Art ExhibitThe annual Mercyhurst ar tshow which (began on April 3 willcontinue throughout the month inthe Erie Public Museum. This ex-1 libit, does not follow the patternof previous years, instead- of representative work from all classes,the show will be confined to theart done by Junior and senior oilgroups.Approximately fifty pictures arebeing shown. They include representational, abstract, and non-objectlve free form.The museum, on 6th and Chestnut Street is open Tuesdaythrough Saturday from 10 a.m. till5 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 till5 p.m. I t is closed! on Monday.The public is invited to viewthe various oil pieces which represent a section of the Mercyhurst , ar t department.

From these various opinions, itcan be seen that the position ofmoderator of a olub is understoodby the students and the moderatorsit is the Job of the moderatorto guide and advise. The ideas,the planning, and the carrying outof the olub duties is dependentupon the leadership of the olulbofficers and the co-operation ofthe club members.

It: was agreed by all questionedtha t if the officers, members, andmoderators blended their wholehearted efforts, each and everyclub meeting could not help butprove to be of interest and valueto all.

Luckygirl!Next time one of her dates bring up the Schlcawig-Holsteln question, she'll really be ready for him.Ready for that test tomorrow, too . . . if that bo ttle ofCoke keeps her as alert tonight as it does other people.

VariousSpiritual Books Otter Sports NewsThought For Lenten Meditation

By Carol KrehDuring this period of penanceand contrition preceding Easter,the most glorious celebration ofthe Church year, there is no better

way to catch the Lenten spirit"than by reading a good spiritualbook.Oaryll Houselander, the Britishauthor well-known for her appealing work, The Reed of God, hasalso writ ten and) illustrated,among other books, one entitledThe Way of the Cross, which discusses each of the stations of theCross- w^h a deep meditative insight into thetn significance.Through her description the read-er may watch the painful progressof Christ from the judgment seatof Pilate to the tomb in the Gar

den of Olives, while receiving adeeper appreciat ion and understanding of His Passion. SignMagazine praises her ability tocombine "psychological, theological, lyrical , and dramatic elementswhile speaking to the reader alonethrough both logic and intuition inthis 'indwelling' book."

Day Christ Died, by J. A. Bishop,will appeal especially to those whoenjoy reading novels. Bishop presents the events of the most memorable day in the 'history of th eworld in delightful narrative formfor enjoyment and enlightenment.Although the basic events of thestory were drawn from the synoptic Gospels, the Kirkus Bulletinsays that the author's presenta-tion "would ailmost make one feelthat the greatest story ever toldwas here being told for the firsttime. . . Here is a book to deepenand strengthen faith, to informou r mindsjandi our emotions."

Finally, possibilities of spiritualreading are found in various textsused in theology classes. An example of th is is Theology andSanity by P. J. Sheed. This bookcontains a theological discussionof various aspects of life: discovery of God and revelation, goalin the universe, and' practicality ofdogmatic theology.

The wealth of inspiration andinsight*offered by these books isno further away than your col-

Such color; "innova tions" as red lilac,papaya, pineapple, brass-yellow, and pale jade will be seen, lots of"color-wlth-color."But the happiest news note is the return of whitethe "no-color"trend, in.addition to muting brighter colors, it will cause greens andtaupes to go neutral.
