M.U. Bulleiitt—Attorney Phil
Shrewd, a representative of
Mercyhurst College, filed a
requestJtoday to jhave the
proposed interchange on W. 38th

college campus. "I asked that the
design be $ altered for a more

Shrewd told reporters outside the
Department of Transportation in
Harrisburg. 1 £ I
Since jl the | announcement
yesterday^ of | Mercyhurst's
reauest for* the highway, the
campus has been abuzz with
plans and rumors. No one seemed
to have an accurate account of
the project. As my first step then,
I visited President Marane to ask
about the specifics of the plan and
how it all came about.
"Well, T. M.," he began, "the
highway would go underground at
some, yet undetermined, point on
West 38th. | At? the J northwest
corner of the campus, the high-
way would come aboveground,
run back of McAuley down to the
grotto where it would again go
underground until §it| reached I-
79." I asked what would be the
advantage *of sthis *. plaa j"The
income for us from such a project
would be phenomenal. Of course,
we would put it all to good use. As
a matter of fact, there is an in-
formal meeting going on now in
the faculty lounge as to how the
money should be spent4 You
might want to stop down there.''
I assured him that I did and
asked a final question—Why did
Mercyhurst think it had a chance
to havMhis request filled? "Oh,
we^ have a few connections,"
Marane answered with a wink,

As I was leaving the office.

asked for a comment. "Now we'll

;On my way down to the faculty
lounge, I came upon the director
of development, Frank Frather,
and Tim Money man of the
business department. They were
engaged in animated discussion.
"Gentlemen," I ^interrupted,
"could you explain where all the
money would be coming in from

Frather outlined the plan,

Moneyman seized \ the op-
