The Sodexho Marriott crew thismonth presented its newestconcept, the Dining Option. TheDining Option gives studentswho have purchased meal plans,previously only for use in EganDining Hall, the opportunity toeat in the Laker Inn using themeal plan.Students with meal plans nowhave the opportunity to spend upto $3.50 for lunch and $4 for'dinner on items in the Laker Inn.Students wishing to eat in theLaker Inn may also pick one ofthe D ining Option specialsavailable as an alternative tobuying a la carte items. Just as inMercy hurst's main dining hall,one meal will be recordedagainst the student's card forevery meal in the Laker InnAIfthe student spends more than the

allotted amount, the remainingbalance is the student's responsi-bility and may be paid either incash with the all-campus card. Ifstudents spend less than thedesignated amount, they will notreceive change. tThe idea for this new optionwas primarily conceived by theSodexho MarriottCorp. Accord-ing to Ted Foessett, food servicedirector for Sodexho Marriott,the choice of at least two diningoptions is presented at m ostschools."This is a m ore modem wayto give students more options,**said Foessett. "The goal here isto break the monotony thatnaturally goes with eating allyour meals in the same establish-ment. The Pining Option is alsointended to attract the greatpopulation of students Who donot live in dormitories. In thepast, these students have been

reluctant to purchase mealThis enhancement in dininoptions will perhaps makeplan more attractive to stuliving in apartments.**Another aim of the DinOption is to increase use ostudent union."The union tends to beof empty. We*d like to dramore people over there,** sFoessettAt times the basement ostudent union goes unusedthe hope of Sodexho Marrthat increasing numbers ofVpeople using the Laker Innhelp bring more people to tcomfortable atmosphere prvided by the r aker Inn.This option also will hedisperse crowds that often the cafeteria during lunch adinner.

OPINIONEditorialT he nature of getting largerA s o f late, the primary gripe o fmos t Me rcy hurst students has t odo with some aspect o f th eparking situation on campus.Compla ints, whether they stem gfrom lack o f spaces to the cost ofpermits or even lot locations, are,in fact, numerous.The q uestion remains: are thesecomplaints valid?When faced with a ticket o reven the infamous parking boot,mos t students surely have theiransw ers to the question readilyavai lable Mercyhurst'sparking conditions are unfair.Bu t i s this really the case?

Let us examine the issue.Mercy hurst charges $ 25 fo r aterm pass or $75 for a yearlypass. Other schools in the area,such as Gannon University,charge an astronomical $ 17 4 ayear to park in the ramp at Peachand West Seventh streets. That i snearly twice as much asMercyhurst*s fi gure.i *Edi nboro UniVersify, however,is a bit more reasona ble. The y

offer a flate rate o f $ 1 5 a year.F The amount o f money it coststo park at a larger university likeOhio State could economically 1subsid ize a small country. Forinstance, faculty (Ohio Stateemploys hundreds o f staffmemb ers) must shell out $300 ajyear to park. Fortunately, .-students are cut a small break.Upperclassmen pay $99 a yearfor a pass. Freshmen arerestricted to remote campus lots,and their passes cost $37 a year.After they have parked in theirdesignated lots, (that is if theyfound a space parking i s no tguaranteed) both upperclassmenand freshmen must take busesand often walk several more *blocks t o their classes.Mercyhurs f s campus, in itsentirety, i s only a few blockswide . ;>B ut is cos t really the primaryissue? Most would answer no.What seems to be at the heartof every complaint is the simplelack o f available spaces on

campus. I do not think that thepeople who reside on upperBriggs Avenue or the side streetsappreciate the number o f >vehicles parked in front o f their Ihomes. Nor do those studentswho have purchased parkingpasses appreciate the number ofillegally parked vehicles in thelots. Reserving a parking spacehas become such a commoditythat students have resorted to Jphysically saving spaces withkitchen chairs. Regardless o f whether or notthe students' complaints arejustified, something must bedone. That something, whether itbe informing students o f th eextended McAuley parking lot oreven building another lot orgarage, must unwil lingl y be leftto the administration. On theother hand, students must realizethat more spaces will mean moreexpensive parking passes, but*then again, nothing in life i s

I am disappointed that there hasnot been a greater effort torecognize more of this year'sgraduating seniors. There are somany people with incrediblestories, wh o I am sure would likerecognition, while at the sametime inspire their fellow students.Take for instance graduatingsenior Brian Delaney. For Brian,the four years he has spent atMercyhurst represent the longesttime he has stayed in on e place.Yean, growing up my familymoved around quite a bit, so it'sbeen nice to find a place that Ican call home, like Erie," said anupbeat Brian.T h i s is my fifth year here, andI can't help but think about allthe lifelong friends I 've made inthe Mercyhurst community," hesaid iBrian recently graduated with adouble major in marketing andSpanish. "I feel confident that Ican step into any situation in thebusiness world and be successfulbecause of the quality of instruc-tion and advisory guidance I Ireceived here at the college."One of the highlights of hiscollege career wa s getting tospend a summer in Spain."That's another example of thedemanding regimen of theschool. Professor Alice Edwardswas inspiring, yet demanding, inushine me tpjmproye Hjy^j^^^panish.' 1 wa& prepared to tfcr*immersed in that language w henI went overseas. I'm also gratefulto the language program forgiving me the opportunity tolearn some French, a language Ihope to use in the future, saidBrian. * *When not in class, Brian can befound at home and away footballgames, midnight bowling andcoffee house performances.Brian has also taken fulladvantage of the many socialopportunities the campus hasoffered. He is frequently spottedin Garvey Park, willing t o strike

up a conversation with anypassers-by.Brian also enjoys the Erienightlife.

How far have we really come in 50 yearFace of the Enemy

BillMelvilleOn Dec 10, the United Nationscelebrates the 50th anniversaryof the Universal Declaiation ofHuman Rights. The documentasserts that all peoples,havecertain unquestionable rights,and it has been key in determin-ing U.S. foreign policy since theCarter administration. 1 ZBut how effective has thedeclaration been in preventing Tjgovernments from abusing theircitizens? The sad truth is that thedeclaration has generally beenignored in, favor of protectingnational sovereignty and, in thecase of the United States,lucrative trade. *Countries often act againstothers on the issue of humanrights, but such actions usuallyoccur only after the violationshave happened repeatedly. Tworecent examples of this are Bosnia and Somalia, wherewitnessing suffering people ledto aid from the .UN and theUnited States. ^ >Because we are so sluggish inour response, instances whensuffering p eople actually receivehelp are rare. rhese days, United States* *dependence on Chinese industryis seen as paramount to Chinesehuman rights violations such astheir invasion of Tib et, harass-ment of Taiwan, and the way theChinese government controls itsown citizens. ^ *China is not the only guilty

country, though. Powerfulnations, such as Great Britain,who enacted strict laws againstthe citizens of Northern \Irelandand India, where Hindurightists have continuallysquabbled with India's Islamicminority, have a much easiertime avoiding responsibility forhumanrights han smallernations,. &Routinely, human rightsviolations in smaller nations,such as the massacres in Rwandain 1994, and the recent brutalityused against studentrioters n |Indonesia, are the instances the:UN has chosen to make an issueoutoj. ' '*'When humanrights violationsoccur in nations who are mem-bers of the UN Security Counciland the G8 (a group of the eightmost powerful industrializednations), other nations seem wcontent to brush them off asisolated incidents.Amnesty International, one ofthe UN's watchdog organizationsfor humanrights,has vast lists ofpolitical prisoners in countriesaround the world, many of whichare imprisoned in First Worldnations. Some, such as AmericanIndian activist Leonard Peltier,are even prisoners in the UnitedStates.|? Wei1, T ve just pointed outseveral instances where powerfulcountries can find loopholes in .the humanrights ssue, and howsmaller nations are usually theones wh o must answer for poortreatment of humans. How canwe make the Universal Declara-tion of Human Rights a moreeffective document? *|When examining human rights,we must remember national
