Hurst To Purchase
Sesler By January
' Mercyhurst will have spent over a half million dollars to pur-chase the Sesler apartments complex by January 1, according to President William P. Garvey.
Dr. Garvey explained that the purchase was being made to en-sure adequate student housing. He added that college ownership will not affect the current apart-ment policies.
"We don't want to dramatically change the way kids live over in Sesler," he stated. "It helps prepare the kids for adult living. The last thing on our minds is to change them into dorms.'
The only major alteration will be the addition of Resident Assistants to the Sesler apart-ments. The exact details
concern-ing RA's have not been deckled
yet, there may be an RA in each building or one for the entire complex. Dependening on how soon the issue is settled, the new positions will be open in January or December.
"This position will not entail the responsibilities of other RA's," said Garvey. "He or she will only take care of any
ex-treme violations and will help the tenants keep their parties in control.
"This is not a watchdog func-tion," continued the President.
"It would defeat the purpose of having an apartment."
Rent for the Sesler complex will not change and college hous-ing will handle Sesler
applica-tions in the future, k^* &» ? <*-•
T o Leave Sesler
Pour Mercyhurst students and one non-student have been asked
to evict the Sesler apartments as of November 3,1981, as a result of their "misconduct of October 15, 1981." The four students have
been placed on "social probation through the academic year," ac-cording to a letter from E. William Kennedy, director of
Stu-dent Services, dated October 20,
1981. J £
John Broderick, Tom; Page, Carlos Pizzi, Ricky*Pizzi, and Joel Smades nave admitted to us-ing Broderick's stereo, located in
Sesler 334, as a public address system and broadcasting obscene remarks. The five have appealed the decision of Kennedy and will receive a hearing by the Campus Life Committee within two
weeks., | * fig
According to Broderick, he, Ricky Pizzi, and Tom P a g e began using the stereo at approximately
2:00 p.m. October 15 to. "talk out the window." & '
Page, 331 Sesler, stated that the three were only talking to people they knew. He admitted that he broadcasted. one obscenity and
also said that "somebody else said something." "1
At 5:00 p.m. that same day, Broderick, Page, the Pizzis, and Smades were all in Sesler 334 and broadcasting again took place,
according to Broderick. Joel Smades said that he did an
imita-tion of Bill Murray's "Mr. Gopher"> from the movie
"Caddyshack". « § £ ; l
^According to Broderick, "One person" said something about President William Garvey as he came out of Old Main. He added that Carlo Pizzi did not broadcast anything "at" any time'V Pizzi
reportedly "pulled the plug" on the stereo microphone. <^
A member of the women's crew team said that the "entire women's crew team", and Dr. Garvey and football coach Tony DeMeo were standing at the en-trance to Preston Hall;near Garvey Park at approximately 5:00 p.mi on October 15J She Stated that things were said about Garvey land obscenities were
broadcast. ,
g "It sounded like it came right out of a 'smut' magazine," she added. > *
"We acknowledge the fact that we were wrong," said Broderick,
"but the punishment installed was too severe, "t g* ^
Carlos and Ricky Pizzi and Broderick received letters from
Kennedy dated October 16, 1981, saying' -ttieyX?are£immediately suspended from Mercyhurst Col-lege." Their eviction from Sesler, was also ordered.
On October 17, Kennedy signed a letter typed by Broderick's mother stating that the letter of
October 16, "directing your im-mediate suspension and ban from campus is revoked." |
Broderick and Carlos Pizzi received a letter from ESC
Real-ty Company, 109 East Tenth Street* dated October 18,1981, re-questing their eviction from their Sesler apartment by 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 20, 1981. Broderick stated that ESC Realty asked for the eviction because Mercyhurst administrators
lad-vised them to do so.
^" Because the school wants to buy Sesler, Sesler will do
anything they < want," ;stated
Broderick. « Z^i
A letter dated October 20.1981,
was sent to the accused students respondence stated that "the group assumes responsibility col-lectively since each by his presence and conduct affirmed the behavior." \ ^ .
It also said that their eviction from£ Sesler is requested by November 3, 1981, and that they are under social probation, meaning that "any other
miscon-duct will result in your suspen-sion from the college." The letter stated they could appeal
Ken-nedy's decision P "in writing no later than October 27,1981."
j» The group had submitted let-ters of appeal by the designated deadline, t » * 2 j
"The college is being very fair -at least the president is, said Broderick. I
The group has not yet begun to look for another place to live in case the Campus Life Committee and Dr. Garvey do not decide to lift the eviction, said Broderick.
Ricky Pizzi joked, "If things get really bad and we can't find an apartment, we'll, buy a tent and pitch it in Garvey Park." 3
"With the stereo, too," added John Broderick.
r At the appeal, the group will
argue that the punishment should be lessened. Broderick stated that it was the first offense of
everyone? involved. Tom Page said the punishment was "not fair" because he did not receive an eviction notice*fromrESC Realty Company/ Page also stated -that his lease said "whoever's apartment jit is is responsible" for any disturbance. If the appeal is not successful, Page said he will "most likely go to court." | "*
Joel Smades had no comment on the incident. \ .*•

The October 27 student govern-ment meeting produced a variety of issues, including student
apathy. £ 1-. * ,i
Claudia Englert, secretary and Mary Gausman, treasurer, an-nouned that they have organized an Apathy Task Force. The Task Force will consist of selected faculty and students, who have a genuine concern in ridding
Mer-cyhurst of student apathy. Their first meeting is to be scheduled for November 1 at B: 00Jin the Bad; Porch Cafe.^ '$
Rich Lanzillo, president of MSG, discussed COPUS,
-Coali-tion of Independent Colleges and Universities and Pennsylvania Independent Student Coalition updates. Lanzillo had obtained in-formation about these organiza-tions and found out that Mer-cyhurst occupies one of their five regions, making it possible for
the college to carry the regional office. Bruce Miller was selected to head the COPUS Chapter and to do further investigation into
conduct on campus or at college sponsored activities resides with the director of student services."
The Director of this office, E. William Kennedy, said he was not now in the position to comment or make any £ judgment on the violation.
/•He did say, however, "There was an incident and we feel we've identified the people who
par-ticipated in it. I ha ve made a rul-ing and I have been informed that they have exercised their right to appeal to the ^Campus Life
committee." M J *

OCTOBER 30,1981 PAGE 2Senate Reviews Master Plan
ViewpointMaster Plan is an editorial series which will feature the perceptions of randomly
chosen students and faculty on the Master Plan draft. *&, ^,

Department. J * »
* At the risk of seeming repetitive, the administration,is to be commended for presenting such a comprehensive and op-timistic planning ^document. When the draft of the Five-Year
Plan was first supplied'to the faculty at a workshop last fall, the general consensus was that
In this day and age of high technology and Reagan economics, it doesn't surprise me to see a plan for Mercyhurst Col-lege that proposes to boost her
in-to a fourth and possible final spring Mercyhurst: an upperclass -elitist college. At least this is sug-gested in a number of proposals
m the Master Plan.
In a future that holds little hope of added funds being available for families to send their children to be educated and also fewer students overall, Mercyhurst may evolve itself right out of ex-istence Then again, Mercyhurst
may ;become a renowned and respected institution of higher learning, if all goes as proposed. I hope it does. Now some
ques-tions, suggestions and other thoughts on the Master Plan.*
g 1) Mercyhurst is in dire need of improved admissions techniques
if it is to recruit the quantity and quality student suggested in the
Master Plan.. ?
2) How can we expect to recruit a student with little or no need for financial aid, with projected costs to exceed ten thousand
dollars by 1986, without becoming an upperclass-elitist college. |
You will also find this student to be more* apathetic, less motivated, more attrition-prone,
and also less in need of an educa-tion than the ordinary middle class working Americans.
W 3) It seems that Egan scholars
The Merciad is running this series in order to provide the community with a forum of unof-ficial ideas and opinions
concern-ing the draft. In no way can the
opinions expressed in this series be considered those of the col-lege, the student body as a whole,
or representative of the entire faculty.
L i n d a L o c h n e r W i l l i a m s Mercyhurst College again would
become an exciting place to teach and learn.
While I agree with the intent of the Institutional Mission State-ment, it needs changes in gram-mar and syntax to represent ef-fectively the institutional pur-pose. The image statement ap-pearing on p. 13 of the draft is a much more cohesive summary of what the college is and should be abou|.^*|$ jag f*^j |g*
f The {concept s of enrollment
management is an intriguing one that impacts on all remaining Goal Statements, for Mercyhurst will continue to depend largely on
tuition revenues to meet its operating expenses. Now the
col-lege will be intensifying its ef-forts to market programs and services to a target population rather than tailoring its
"cur-riculum to meet general; con-sumer demands. i ? ^ ? ^ }
Faculty in the science and mathemetics areas have tre-quently * urged changes in recruiting strategies to increase enrollments!.in science areas. How refreshing to see this goal formalized by the administration and placed in the framework of
improving the overall quality of the programs, students and facul-ty! Can this be done at a time when forecasters project continu-ing d e c l i n e s in c o l l e g e enrollments? Similar marketing operations have proved suc-cessful in industry. One can only hope that the college now has the hardware (computer) and the ex-perienced people to accomplish these goals.
With respect to Goal M (Academic Development) my general response is positive. I take exception (as do most of my colleagues in the science) with requiring af minimum of * 120 credits for graduation exclusive of science lab credits. Such a policy implies that science lab credits are? pedagogically! in* ferior. A fair and comprehensive billing policy linked to a return to the forty-course graduation re-quirement across all disciplines
seems superior to the current policy. ^ t ] r,."'
Can a college the size of Mer-cyhurst sustain both the Egan program and a College Honors Program? I've always assumed the Egan students were Honor students. Perhaps the program
can be generalized to allow for honors work in all academic
areas.
I applaud upgrading the academic support atmosphere at the college. The LRC books and periodicals collections have suf-fered years of insufficient fun-ding in most major subject areas. The increased cultural oppor-tunities afforded by film, lecture,
concert and theatrical prefor-mances are an excellent beginn-ing. A liberal arte education (by definition) should free one by fostering appreciation of intellec-tual and artistic traditions not widely represented in the popular culture of the day. .
Better advising, equitable bill-ing and excitbill-ing Intellectual climate can only improve student retention. Increased student ser-vices in mental and physical health, spiritual, social and career conseling . are long
overdue. .- 'i *
Financial aspects of the plan bear close scrutiny. Creating flexible, innovative financial aid
policies will help to close the tui-tion gap between small private colleges and state universities -especially since better than 80
per cent of the college revenues are projected to come from tui-tion and student fees.
Nevertheless, the president has set a large goal for himself and for bis staff of raising $600,000 an-nually in addition to the $250,000 capital improvements fund and the $2.9 million planned construc-tion program monies. That's
pretty close to raising or financ-ing $4 million dollars over a five-year period. No wonder Presi-dent Garvey says his biggest con-cern is the financing of the plan!
I would hope that he will take counsel with the wisest financial counselors available in an effort to assess how realistic these goals are for days of high infla-tion and potential recession.. I would urge that the major capital expenditures be given priority ranking so that only the most essential be attempted if the financial goals cannot be met.•*
M a r i a S a n t a n g e l o
and hopop-studento are
to become the elitist group at the college. As * is suggested^ by
"honor faculty" and "terms abroard" being offered only to
these select group !*?^ jg
If everyone were included in these ideas you would find'the honors programs being an incen-tive ana motivating force for the
average student and also the term abroad a stimulating eye-opening life experience. I've been
to Spain and the virgin Islands to study and I sincerely^ believe there is no better way to learn then by hands-on experience.
But why. only England-based universities, why not Univer-sidad de Madrid or Geology in the Alps? If one can afford it, they should be allowed to participate. 4) An elitist faculty is also be-ing proposed by settbe-ing percen-tages, ratios, educational backgrounds and even racial re-quirements and quotas on its members. Where are the
educa-tional values being placed? Who is being put in the school's best in-terest, the student or the institu-tion's image. It matters not to me if a teacher is' black or white, male or female, tenured or not tenured, has a doctorate or B.A.i as long as he or she is a quality educator. & • *
Increased salaries for sthe faculty are long overdue in an oc-cupation that deals so intimately with the preservation of the mind and ultimately &the*» human

employee parking violations. I want to publicly state that, as an employee of this college, I most
certainly agree with Ms. Sacer's stand. However, I feel a few
addi-tional aspects must be considered
in this issue. « ,v, A'i j£ H
The first aspect is one of safety. When employees, or anyone for
that matter, park illegally on this campus, more often than not they are blocking or hindering access
to-emergency exits. Seeing a
ticket on a w i nasm era W m ofc•'
small consolation to an am-bulance crew needing to get in-side a building quickly or to so-meone, particularly one with a handicap (permanent or tem-porary), who must use an emergency exit that is blocked by
an illegally parked vehicle.
*£ Another aspect is that of com-mon courtesy. If an illegally parked vehicle is not blocking
ac-cess to an emergency right-of-way, it is at least in the way of the normal flow of traffic. I recall
several times in which an illegal-ly parked car has caused persons trying to use a', parking lot to negotiate extremely tight spaces just to move from one area of the lot to the other. If this parked car
is dented, who is responsible? I feel that one should not com-plain unless they can offer a con-structive solution, and I believe I can offer one. Rules are rules, and they should be enforced equally among all members of the Mercyhurst community. A violation is a violation, and if one refuses to pay their fines, then appropriate action musU be
taken, j ^ k i *- •
What I propose is that Security *B^»iif a TfoNcytjfr
strict^enforce-ment of traffic and parking regulations on campus. Security Should j ticket j ANY violator whenever appropriate. If habitual/ violators do not pay
their fines after a certain number of tickets are issued, then their car should be towed if found in violation once again. The college may not be able to take the fine money out of paychecks, but
there is nothing to prevent the towing of illegally parked cars, a If it is common knowledge that
employees can disobey rules and guidelines, then how can students expect to follow them? •*

The Quaking Shakers: Is Sex Necessary
The Shakers came quietly onto the American scene in Albany
(Watervliet) New York, 1774, in the person of an Englishwoman named Ann Lee. Ann came with her brother William, her niece Nancy Lee, and five others. By the time of her death in 1784, the Shakers were well established on
American soil.
Until the Civil War, the Shakers flourished in the East, in Ohio
(Shaker Heights) and in Ken-tucky. After that war they went into a decline. Today there are only 16 Shakers still alive in two of their colonies, one in New
Hampshire, the other in Sabbath Day Lake, Maine.
They are significant for many reasons, not the least of which is the full equality they developed between women and men. Ann Lee had bad experiences with marriage and childbirth because her four children either died in childbirth or shortly after their birth. She sought an answer to all this suffering m prayer, and in a vision Jesus revealed to her that sexual intercourse was the root of all sin. The way of life which Ann Lee founded brought men and women together in a common life and effort which did not include sexual intercourse or procrea-tion. The Shakers were celibates.
People|ask: How did the Shakers expect to reproduce
Letter* i
i
themselves? The answer is: They were not interested in
reproduc-tion. They thought the end of time was close. They also thought that all lust, not only lust of the flesh but lust for property, pleasure, and power weighed down the soul and Kept the devout from union with God. The Shaker liturgy, which featured dance, was also built on this idea. Free of lust the soul and body would be practical-ly weightless, and therefore
capable of floating into the em-brace of the infinite in the process of their liturgical dancing. This emphasis on feminine equality and on dancing out your belief makes them seem very
contem-porary indeed. V*-; *• •£
The Shakers were indebted for many of their ideas to the Quakers, from whom they
des-cend. Ann Lee knew some former Quakers named James and Jane Wardley in England. She Joined a small group which the Wardleys
had formed when they left the Quakers. These people were in-fluenced by a French group known as the Camisards as well as by the Quakers. For them the second appearance of Christ was imminent and the millennium of universal peace was at hand.

AfaAy Task Force To Form At 'Hurst
Bob Hope and bis full en-tourage staged a two-hour live performance smack dab in the
middle pof« Garvey Park last
Thursday night. Four people were in attendance.
Is this typical of the campus? There are no doubts, concerning Bob Hope's talent and ability to attract crowds. Yet, there are
doubts concerning the ability to attract crowds to social events, coffee houses, lectures, movies, (etc.) not to mention issues that directly affect the students here
at Mercyhurst. ? J
An interested body is forming a task force whose purpose is to rally together and unravel the
tangled ganglia of disinterest at the 'Hurst. (Could it be apathy?) The game plan is to analyze, decipher, £ decode, philosophize, examine, question, consider, scrutinize, probe and possibly complain about the status of in-terest at this campus.
The action takes place Sunday night at 8:00 in the Back Porch
Cafe.

OCTOBER 30,1981 PAGE 4Fashion Update j
-1 Accent with accessories
by Carta Gasparello
Hie last changes in fashion trends can't be more accurately' reflected than in the constant change in accessories. ^§[;; #1
For the fall of '81 accessories are exhibited on a grander scale, with deep colors dominating. Although, bits of brilliant metallics are sometimes added for that extra glow. From beads to handbags, any outfit can use an accessory or two to add some accent, f f $ •£*£ jyj
The waist is the focus of atten-tion; for this season | stretchy cummerbunds in deep browns and wine reds are used to wrap and define the waistline. These cummerbunds are usually worn with pants or skirts. J & k? Wider, softer leather belts,
usually in more brilliant or bron-zy colors, also help to define the waistline and can be worn with anything from tunics to coats. Other accessories that can be tied not only at the waist but around the head are sashes and scarves.
Jewelry is another changing trend that is being displayed on a
very grand scale. Chokers of large gold and multi-colored beads strung together to hug the bottom of the neck can be seen everywhere.
Leaf-shaped ornaments in tints and shades of gold and bronze are also very popular this fall. Varia-tions from one leaf to a whole tree of leaves can be seen on necklaces, earrings and belts. Wider cuff bracelets also help to illustrate this, season's grand scale of design. '• ^ ' ^
Just as ornaments as belts and jewelry, handbags are an
im-portant " accessory. Smaller, softer oags in deep colors and leather textures, shaped in envelope contours or shoulder bags are perfect for day. Where
as for evening, much, much smaller and more ornamental snakeskins and metallic motifs can be used to accent that plan!' colored evening dress. { • jy

of creation to any outfit. tfgUjffo

1982 i Admissions f
Searchf Underway
The new academic year has just begun but the Office of
Ad-missions has already started its search for prospective freshman. This year the Admissions Of-fice has expanded to new
geographical areas of recruit-ment which include Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Canada. Other cities which .draw a ma jori&
ty of students to Mercyhurst are Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Long Island, Buffalo, and Cleveland.
Travel to various cities to recruit students involves much time onf the road. Patti Bailey,
associate director of admissions, Steve Frisina and Tom Dore, ad-missions Counselors, are respon-sible for persuading high school seniors to select Mercyhurst as their collegecfor higher
education.*' j s !
Other people also play a major role in obtaining students to at-tend Mercyhurst. Faculty
members and students also travel with the admissions team to give their viewpoints and pro-vide beneficial information con-' cerning majors, college environ-ment, and general fife at* the
'Hurst. "We try' to involve the whole community in the
admis-sions effort" said Sheila Ricter, assistant director of admissions.
New programs which were started this fall are drawing more students to take an interest
in Mercyhurst/ Many inquires are currently being sought for In-formation pertaining to fashion
merchandising, interior design, and computer science. *

By Bonnie James ^.^S^£ Should any professional com-pany accept the challenge of
per-forming Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", they would be assuming a monumen-tal task, at least. Therefore, the cast of Mercyhurst College's pro-duction, directed by Igor Stalsky, is worthy of both laud and praise for a noble and chilling presenta-tion of the theatre of the absurd.
K a t h y H u b b a r d often dominates the stage with her pro-foundly convincing character of voluptuousT college president's daughter wheels favors and deals desires over the novice professor
at the college, Nick.; All of this testing boldly goes on in front of Martha's husband, George, and behind Nick's wife, Honey.
George, played byJ'Paulfld-dings, perhaps requires the most sensitive ana careful character treatment within the play^Like a
master artist, Iddings craftily molds? the ^comfortable history professor from a servicing simp
to the competent controller in the end. Although George is
por-trayed as being impotent in a variety of ways, Iddings twists his power struggle*with Martha in Act III in favor of a virile,
in-itiating George, g ;~1 g George's* antithesis, Nick, is portrayed by Paul Urbanowicz. Nick is the young, capable scien-tist (man of the future) as oppos-ed to George being a man of the past*, (history* professor);
Ur-banowicz's c h a r a c t e r is believable, but he lacks a bit of the intense credibility manifested in his seasoned-! colleagues. Whether this is due to Stalsky's direction, Albee's character or
Urbanowicz's performance is dif-ficult to distinguish. But regardless of his contrast to Id-dings and Hubbard, his scenes with Rebecca Martin are handled with assuredness and ease.
Martin, who plays Nick's wife, Honey, is the only rookie to the four-person cast. Although'
at-tempting one's first production with three established per-formers could be intimidating,
Martin pulls off a delightfully un-pretentious Honey. Her wide-eyed reactions and unpredictable outbursts of giggling develop a stronger sense of personality than Albee's lines allow. She is most jfimpressive {when she dances off stage left in her own contained world, and when she
THE MERCIAD
staggers down the stairs fumbl-ing for the sounds of "Poe bells."
The play demands as much from its audience as it does from its performers. Some sense of theatre and/or literature is cer-tainly helpful, and the understan-ding of existentialism is crucial
in order to receive the final ef-fect. Martha pins the respon-sibility of all the failures of her
marriage on George, and George, up until this point, has been unable to alter that location of blame. But the final lines become
deva ^ ^ ^ ^
tha mlns^arms'^wliile'they are crouched on the floor. He gently chants, "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf" and Martha, succumbing to acceptance* of her actions, faults and fears, sobs, "I am."
The fact that the entire action takes place in one evening adds (with relief) a bit of simplicity
and obvious unity to Albee's plot. Mercyhurst's set crew con-structed a marvelously ap-propriate design, which remained
both functionary and interesting throughout the ? entire play. Special effects such as chimes
and {outdoor porch lights ultimately add sparkle and finish to their product. ; *
If the Mercyhurst community h a s b e e n s t a r v i n g* f o r charismatic, cathartic drama, "Virginia Woolf" will satiate that desire be
tneatreTeeling drained and purg-ed, and hopefully be more aware of some of the philosophic im-plications of their existence. As existentialists often note, < the theatre of the absurd is the only dramatic reality, | for to ^ place reality on the stage as an artistic vehicle is certainly absurd. | S ^

sacramental forms fromstheir religion, such as Baptism, and the Lord's Supper. They em-phasized the free workings of the Spirit in their lives, «S practiced
total pacifism, refused to take oaths or participate directly in
secular government, and en-couraged women to participate at all levels as preachers and active members of religion.}
In England Ann Lee was jailed for practicing "noisy" religion. She and her followers would sit in groups, as Quakers do, in silent meditation, and some would be seized by a mighty trembling, or they would begin to sing, shout, leap for joy at the near prospect of salvation. It was these shak-ings, this running and leaping,
this writhing on the floor, this runnning and passing of one another, that caused people to call them Shakers. They con-tinued these practices in this
country i in the Shaker com-munities they established, and they j continue them today. However, group enthusiasm is
somewhat curtailed when the me-dian age$ of the fgroup passes seventy. & J& jfa
The Shakers lived well, ate well, dressed very* simply, developed a government which parceled out responsibility, pro-perty and authority equally to women and to men. They were determined to avoid drudgery and did so by their inventions,
particularly by such inventions as that of the washing machine, and the round bam. In the round barn, still visible at Hancock MA, hay is sent down from above to the animal below, while ordure and refuse is swept from that level to waiting wagons below from whence it is taken to the
fields. I M 8
jg The Quakers invented packag-ed sepackag-eds, and developpackag-ed many herbal medicines. | They also made handsome furniture, stout stoves of very good design, and good barrels. |p$ JJ \

ID Situation Is Explained
Lambda Is Active
The Mercyhurst branch of Lambda Epsilon Delta, the
na-tional organization for elemen-tary education majors, are con-ducting a Halloween workshop, according to Diane Petulla, President oE Lamda Epsilon
^It will be held on October 29 in a oca! "Plm'^WJlfr SCTWW*Flve groups with three members
each-will team-teach students for the afternoon, using a Halloween theme to incorporate • art and language arts activities. It will be followed by a j club-sponsored Halloween party. i;. i
-Plans are also now being made to sponsor the Relahan Lecture
(named after the founder of Mer-cy htiTsffc education*
ment). The group will hold a
workshop at the Erie Times News Company and one with 4 Elsie Earlley on campus. 5i^. f '
The club anticipates a guest speaker, according to Petulla,on ?%hat a Coop Expects From A Student Teacher." The speaker will#be Mrs. Lombardo from Lawrence.' Park Elementary SchooLjA, A isfag
.*Lamda Epislon Delta's initia-Kon of new members will be held November 15.
"Let's see your ID", those im-mortal words can only belong to Martha Chauncey, the ID checker for K.C. Foods. Chauncey a veteran worker at the cafe talked with THE MER-CIAD about the ID situation.
All students are supposed to show Chauncey their ID in order
to gain access to the food which they have paid for in the beginn-ing of fall term. She then inspects
the ID's, which will have a small sticker attached to them acknowledging the fact that the student bearing the ID indeed paid for board.
The majority of the students eating at the cafe complain about having to show their ID at every meal, says Chauncey. Some students complain verbally at her. "I may know the student, but it's my job to see that everyone who gets into the cafe is either on board or pays the $2.05 for lunch or the $3.85 for dinner," explains Chauncey.
Chauncey contends that some of the students will pay for fall term board and then go off board for winter term. Then those students come into the cafe winter term and eat free, thus producing a loss for K.C. Foods. By showing the ID's all the time, it will quickly and quietly state that the student is on board, g Jj rg There will be no exceptions for
not having your. ID, says Chauncey. For students to eat at the cafe they must show their ID
to the person sitting at the door. If stuaents a7^1f5vetn'dn*W they don't eat.
Temporary ID's can be ac-quired from Mr. Kennedy's office in student services located on the second floor of Old Main.

The
Beanstalk
By J. Beaner
The 'Hurst had a rough time last week as the football team got destroyed by Waynesburg, the cross country team fell prey again, and internationally the crew teams literally sunk in Canada. I've never known Laker teams to stay down too long and I would predict them to bounce
back! but it seems as if a favorable prediction from the
Beanstalk is worse than an an-cient Egyptian curse, so I'll keep my mouth shut- and not say anything. You would think after the Expos and the A's I'd have learned a valuable lesson, but I had to go and pick the Yankees 4-2. Now that it's impossible for that prediction to come true I've realized what a jinx I have turned out to be. So as a final note, at the
request of a. member of the basketball team, I'm predicting
them to go 0-25. (I hope my luck holds out and men's basketball has a great season). Who knows, if everything I predict goes astray, maybe I could transfer to Gannon and write for the Knight. I'm sure we'd beat them in everything then. .*fcj|^^fc
Laker Crew
Fall
to
Canadians
Lady luck did not smile kindly on the Laker crews last week as a severe east wind forced them off the water for an entire week.
Nevertheless, ~ the intrepid oarspeople journeyed up to St. Catherines, Ontario, for the Brock Invitational Regatta. Star-ting gates, a 14-boy boathouse housing over 100 shells, interna-tionally sanctioned officials, it all gave the impression of what the snort can be.jt The crews were likewise -impressive. Rowing
since last May, they were peak-ing for the collegiate nationals
next week.* After being in the water for only five weeks, most Lakers wondered, "What are we doing here?" Coach Belovarac summed it up by explaining, "We row here, first of all, to expose
our people to the atmosphere of big time rowing. Secondly, we
use it as a yardstick to measure how far we nave to go in order to row like the best this spring." f
It was a disappointing after-noon for the women's crews as neither the varsity or the novices were a serious threat to any of the
Canadian schools. Coach Jack
Beck noted that his crews were out-sized unbelievably. "We real-ly couldn't get it together against girls averaging 510" and 150 pounds when we're about 5'4" and 130."
Unlike other years when Mer-cyhurst was literally blown off the water, this year's men's crews rowed competitively and were* in all the races. The freshmen placed second in this qualifying heat, sending them in-to the afternoon's finals where they placed, 5th out of seven crews beating the University of Toronto and the Trent men's heavyweight eight missed the finals by a scant two seconds in their best, still beating Queens University and the University of Toronto. In the lightweight divi-sion, the Lakers came in last, yet
15 seconds off the first place crew who had won the Canadian
Henleys and the Head-of-the-Charles.
The Lakers close out their fall exhibition season this Saturday as they take on a potent Canisius College in Buffalo at 11:30 a.m.

Travels
Last Saturday, the Mercyhurst Cross Country teams traveled to Buffalo, NY, to participate in the Canisius Invitational. The'Hurst entered three women members along with a men's varsity and junior varsity.
For the Lady Lakers, this was the last cross country meet of the year. ..Junior, Mary Jo Cline led the way with a time of 18:08 over the 2-5 mile course. This earned Mary; Jo a with place finish. Kellie Johnston (18:31) and Col-leen Farley (19:20) finished 18th and 27th respectively!
The men's invitational was won by Fredonia State which finished with 27 points. Cornell University
(47 points) and Canisius College (108 points) finished second and third respectively. The overall individual winner was Bernie Prabocki^of Fredonia State
College. |
The 'Hurst varsity squad plac-ed llth in the 17-team field while the Junior varsity finished 9th, last place. JThe varsity was a^ain who placed 24th with a time of 23:07. -Behind Marc, by only twelve seconds, was Darryl
Rickard who placed 32nd. Following for the Lakers were: Floyd Campbell (24:27) 74th, Len
Donnelly (24:52) 85th, Greg Yoko (25:07) 90th, Ron Verrilla (25:15) 93rd, and Matt Truesdell (26:53)

Soccer Wins .-..*;, .
The Laker soccer team saw its record rise to 8-2-2 after a l-o vic-tory over Big 5 rival Edinboro State College. The Lakers actual-ly played better than the 1-0 score
indicates as they missed several easy scoring opportunites from very close. The 'Hurst also out-,
fh*«*vfsttwrtrfsy ^latflflsllde margin but scored only once on Ed Masharka's first half header, assisted by Hyacinth Coolabali. 1' It was the defense that was
really impressive as the Lakers shut down the Edinboro offense totally. High scoring forward J.C.
Martin was held to only two shots by a superb effort from the fullback line. Also impressive was Gary Peterson in goal, as he recorded his third shutout of the season.
The victory helped to tighten Mercy hurst's grasp on the coveted Big 5 title. With one game remaining the Lakers can complete a perfect sweep of the area schools by ^beating downtown- rival Gannon on Wednesday. * ^ 2 § ? T*
Joe Hep finger
Receives
Award
This fall, Mercyhurst's Joe Hepfinger received a Merit Award for 10 years of distinguish-ed service to Erie's East Side Senior League. The award was presented to Hepfinger by league commissioner Mr. Terelli on August 13 at the annual East-West All Star game played at
Ainsworth Field. Along with the award Hepfinger was granted the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. Joe also
received a baseball signed by the. members of the East All-Star squad.
,^ Hepfinger has been a valuable member of the Mercyhurst Athletic department and spends countless hours on upkeep of Tullio Field. During the fall and
spring seasons he keeps the field playable for the Laker baseball squad and countinues these duties during the summer mon-ths for the East Side league which
occupies the field. Each summer ^ ^ H

Joe Hepfinger •' __ I Photo by Rich Forsgren • *' Joe also serves as a staff member for Laker baseball camp held each July at the Hurst. Con-gratulations on the award, Joe, and thanks for all of the time you've put in for the 'Hurst team.
The Laker football squad saw its record fall to 3-2-1 after a 43-20
loss to Waynesburg last weekend. Waynesburg exhibited good ball control ana piled up over 200
yards rushing en route to the one sided victory. Waynesburg con-trolled the first quarter scoring twice to build a 15-0 first quarter lead. The Lakers jumped on the scoring band wagon in the second quarter as John Moore scored on a one-yard run to make the score 15-6 W a y n e s b u r g . The Waynesburg offense was too much for the j Hurst as they cross-ed the goal line three more times in the second quarter to make the first half score 36-6. *£ '\
f The second half opened with
Mercyhurst scoring again on a one-yard run by Moore and then Craig Zonna found Moore on a 20-yard5 pass, play, good for another touchdown and the
'Hurst found itself beginning to climb back into' the game, trail-ing 36-20* Waynesburg mounted
another6 scoring drive in the fourth quarter and the scoring ceased after that making the
final 43-20.
On paper the game was much closer than it might appear as the Lakers actually outgained
Waynesburg 352 total yards to 335. Craig zonna had a good day in the air connecting on two of 16 passes for 205 yards and one touchdown. Billy Hall was three of seven for 32 yards to bring the
passing yardage *toSilo23 7 yards. Sam Scarpaci led the receiving corps with four catches for 159 yards. On the ground it was Zonna again as he carried 11 times for 41 yards. John Moore ran 12 times for 34 yards while Nick Felice rushed four times for 20 yards. ] f « g
.|-r The thing that cost Me.|-rcyhu.|-rst was turnovers." Zonna had two passes intercepted, while Hall had one stray attempt picked off. On the ground the Lakers lost three of four fumbles to bring the total number of turnovers to she compared to Waynesburg's two. The Hurst plays again this Satur-day, traveling to meets Niagara
in the final outing of the initial
season. 1. ^ *
