40 Courses?
By Brenda Brewer
In the midst of rejoice over the
new academic system which has
been
4
designed ^to give students
'more electives", serious
dilemmas have arisen for those
students whoJhave been at the
Hurst during I the transition
period. Indeed, even thosegwho
have only recently come here and
are not caught as such between
systems have conflicts to be
resolved.
Under our new ^academic
system a student must complete
40 courses (120) credits in order
to graduate, including 3 Inter-
sessions, ten liberal studies, (2 in
five areas), !)• two Inter-
disciplinaries,Jten electives (for
non-education |majors), and * up
to k fifteen major courses.' A
student taking three courses for
three' terms for four years plus
three Intersessions, (3x3) 4+3-39
courses, comes out with thirty-
nine courses (1174 credits).
Provided that these thirty-nine
courses can be fitted into the
proper slots on the graduation
requirement sheet a non-
education major had only?one
course to make up before
graduation. ? How and whenjthis
fortieth course is to be taken is
open to question. Some possible
answers are: taking physical
education courses, taking San
overload dhe' term,^&ttending
summer school, or participation
in a'fourth Intersession. Let us
examine each of these
possibilities for ramifications *

requirements you |may take

additional cost). For those who
choose not to take Phys. Ed. there
is the possibility of an overload (4
courses in one term). Previous
policy regarding i overloads was
as follows: "Students who have
maintained an average*of 3.0 or
better for three regular terms are
usually permitted to take fan
additional or fourth course in any
one term. All other students may
take such an overload only with
the permission of their major
advisor. Physical education is not
considered an | overload. |(1971
College Catalog) Those majoring
in education, however, already
have a built in overload to take
because of the loss of three
credits during student teaching.
It is possible that an education
major may end up (taking two

committee met Tuesday
October 2^at 4:00p.m. The main
order of business was to set up
the agenda for the year's work
assigning priorities and
deadlines for sub-committee
work. The Committee is studying
possible guidelines for teacher
certification procedures for
persons already possessing a
B.A. or B.S. from other in-
stitutions. Requests are being
made to Mercyhurst in a greater
number since the College
exercises the certification power
in the name of the state. <'
Another item under ptudy will
be an evaluation of the student
profile, especially |that? of the
freshman class, to ascertain if
there need be offerings of a
remedial or auxiliary nature, or
perhaps a College Study
Orientation Program, to main-
tain academic standards in the
course work. An attempt will be
made to find out if those who drop
out of Mercyhurst do so because
of-lack of background for college

The major thrust of the com-

OF MER C YHURST I SUMMER JOBS
Note: To all those new faculty
members ? not "included *in the
following article I wish to extend
a welcome to Mercyhurst College
and offer "apologies for your
exclusion from this article. Due
to limited time and space it was
impossible to interview all of our
new faculty and therefore only a
representative few could be in-
terviewed for this issue of the
Merciad.*
$ (Mercyhurst College has been
honored this year by the addition
of some twenty or so new faculty
members.) Nearly all deaprt-
ments have made substantial
gains in faculty resources.
Among the newest faculty is J a
former Mercyhurst graduate,
Miss Rosemary Blieszner. Upon
graduation from Mercyhurst,
Miss Blieszner * attended Ohio
State University to attain her
masters degree. ? The courses
which she will be offering are all
new ^additions I to the Home
Economics curriculum. Among
them are: Individual Growth and
Development, an intersession in
Human Sexuality, A Child in the
Family, Organization of
Children's Activities, and Family
Dynamics. Miss Blieszner, who
says she feels "comfortable"
here, has returned to Mercyhurst
because she believes in the
philosophy of the college and
feels that Mercyhurst is on the
brink of some critical changes
which can strengthen the in-
stitution academically.
Teaching on the upper
mathematics level, Dr. Marvin
Camburn, comes to Mercyhurst's
math department with/ a
Bachelor's degree from Albion
College, an M.A. from * the r
University of Detroit, and a
P.H.D. from the University of
Michigan. His course offerings
include: Number Theory,
Topology, M a t h e m a t i c a l
Insights, Basic Math,Structure of
Arithmetic, and an intersession in
Set. Theory. Dr. Camburn has
yet to mingle with many of the
students and faculty due to his
physical location in Zurn most of
the time. However, of the student
body and faculty which he has
had contact with, he has been
favorably impressed*
Mr. Barry? Grossman, a |new
comer to the Political | Science
Department, was responsible for
the presentation given by Mr. Don
Luce a few weeks ago on the
Vietnam situation. In the in-
terview with Mr. Gossman he
expressed his pleasure at the turn
out shown fby Mercyhurst
students. As yet, however, Mr.
Grossman has formulated no
permanent impressions of
Mercyhurst. He is a native
Erieite. Mr. Grossman holds *a
B.A. degree from Cornell,, a
Masters from Gannon, and'has
completed two 'years a of law
school.. With these credentials, he
will be teaching American

The Commission urged can-
didates to apply early for

emphasize that the number of

small in proportion to the number
of competitors. Last year, 157,485

The Pentangle ,
NEW DIRECTIONS
by Gary Dudenhofer
If any assemblage of musicians
in the current folk music business
can be truly called unique, it is
the Pentangle. No other group
has so successfully knocked down
musical! barriers and incor-
porated folk, classical, jazz, and
blues idioms into their musical
whole. Unfortunately, Pentangle
remains virtually unknown on this
side of the Atlantic Ocean.
In early 1967, John-Renbourn
and Bert Jansch, two guitarists
who | had already established
themsleves as two offthe most
competent modern guitarists,
joined company with three other
individuals to form The Pen-
tangle. Jacqui' McShee, whose
crystal-clear voice Jean handle
anything from an unaccompanied
folksong to modern blues and jazz
provided unity for the group's
vocals. Underpinning the band on
acoustic bass and drums, were
respectively, Danny Thompson
and Terry Cox. Both Cox and
Thompson came to the group with
reputations of first-rate session
men. I S J
From* this diversity of in-
dividual talent arose the coherent
whole, f, Their first album,
released plater the same year,
shaped the course their music
would take for the next few years.
Their strongest * asset was the
treatment they gave to Medieval
English ballads, with McShee or
Jansch singing lead. Renbourn
and Jansch prove their virtuosity
on nearly every song: their
ability to set down a melody in
unison and then eachf take a
different path in a sensitive solo is
without equal. Two spectacular
bass solos brought Thompson out
of the background and into the
spotlight with the rest of the
group. Finally, Cox's skillful
handling of his drums provided a
solid background for the antics of
the rest of The Pentangle.
m Progressively, the band moved
in the direction of using
traditional ballads for their
material. Topping, this journey
was their fourth album Cruel
Sister. Included in this album is a
particularly memorable ren-
dition of i "When |I was in my
Prime", sung a capella, by
McShee.
..The Pentangle's latest album
REFLECTIONS, 'marks a
departure from this movement
toward the traditional ballad.
This is not to say that hey have
completely abondoned this art
form; these traditional ballads
provide the basis for most of the
music on REFLECTIONS.^What
is significant
J
is the incorporation
of :' modern jazz in their
arrangements, especially ton.
•'Helping Hand". An American
folksong of ripe vintage, " Will the
Circle Be Unbroken," is also
included on the album.

This album also marks new
beginnings for John Renbourn:
previously a strict adherent to his
acoustic guitar, he turns 1 to
electric guitar on most of the
songs on [REFLECTIONS. His
skillful handling of distortion
devices provide a solid jazz
background, expecially on
"Helping Hand." Multi-
instrumentation is also evident
here: beside the!basic five in-
struments, si tar, f glockenspiel,
bells, and other numerous in-
struments are used. Ify * something in the "family" veinl Ph. D*s. Thete are some very its own right. Instead, we viewed
The album has already caused
quite a stir among Pentangle
fans; like myself, see the album
as a tasteful synthesis of the new
with the old. Others, | mostly
purists, say the group has "sold
out" in departing from the
traditional English ballad as the
source for their material.
However, while the debate
continues, thef album represents
ah opportunity for those un-
familar with the Pentangle to
experience the best of both
worlds. McShee's voice is till
pure and clear, especially tender
on "Wedding Dress" and "Rain
and Snow", with traditional
ballads. Renbourn? and Jansch
remain their § always tasteful
guitar interplay ^throughout the
album. Thompson and Cox
provide some interesting
variations on the traditional roles
of bass and drums—instead of
simply "backing up" the group,
the move to the foreground and
take active parts in the musical
whole.; ^ Wr
|f In short, trying to describe the
Pentangle's music, especially
REFLECTIONS, is rather like
trying to describe a sunset. One
can talk of the colors, but it must
be seen to appreciate the overall
effect. To appreciate the Pen-
tangle, you just have to listen. It
is an experience not soon
forgotten.
