Maintenance Restricted IFor MaximizedEfficiencyB* Matthew J. Clark j .

The Mercyhurst College MaintenanceDept. is currently undergoing a departmentre-organization with the intention of im-proving the overall effectiveness! of thecampus' maintenance program. •_

According to Director of Buildings andGrounds Harold George,J underi the newsystem, a maintenance person will be plac-ed in each building, giving that person thespecific responsibility of that particularbuilding. s*

"The new system enables a lot of techni-cians to become really familiar with theirassigned buildings," said Don Leonardi,Assistant Director of Buildings. fj

t "This will help the faculty, students, andadministrators to work through and withone person familiar with the building,1*staled George, v %

According to Leonardi, about a yearagojit became apparent that thereorganizationwas necessary, and in early November ofthis year, there-organization proposal wasapproved at a meeting between the Col-lege's President, administration, and theDirector of Maintenance.'-^According to Leonardi, the new system

should reduce m aintenance costs? totljecollege. *fMThe new program will cut expenses by

reducing time (man hours), and in time,reduce costs because, once the new systemis settled,)we can employia preventativemaintenance program," he said.

According to Leonardi, the new systemwill not be effective until the departmentcatchesup with projects whichhave alreadybeen started. 8

The re-organization is a follows: HaroldGeorge - {Director of• Buildings andGrounds; Don Leonardi - Asst.

As The College MourA Friend Shares Griefby Naomi Romanchok

I've searched long and hard tofind theright words that can even come close to ex-pressing the loss of a dear friend,BetsyLantz. But the words just aren't there.About the only thing I could think of thatcould 3truly express the hollow senseofemptiness is a poem, written by Betsy, ontbe loss of one of her good friends. Thispoem was read in tribute atBetsy's funeral.

1 know notThe components of loveOnly that I loved you

1 know notThe essence of lifeOnly how alive you were

I know not |The realms of death iOnly that you are gone

I know not rkWhere you areOnly that you are with me*

1 know notWhen nor howOnly that 1 will see you again

And then... 1I shall know

The loss of a closefriend is never easy.Somehow, a part of you dies with them.After the initial mourning, life continues,but thereis always somethingthatjustjsn^t

exactly right. So many things seem out of kilter without Betsyhere. So mmemories remain one-dimensionalwithher here to share in them.

For those of you who never had tportunity to meet her, let me say thwas truly magical. Betsy's unique zlife touched everyone around her. Sspired all of us in so many ways,whethwas her straight4.0 QPA, her fierce detion, her grammatical propriety ocourage as she faced each day, oncebeating the odds.

Betsywas an achiever. She was a suat everything she did.

While most of us werecelebrating the usual Thanksgiv-ing, Sally Fyke, who works in theFinancial Aid office, as well as at-tending the school as a student,was celebrating a very specialThanksg iving.^ It was her firstholiday celebrated as a UnitedStates citizen. fe *£ Originally from the PhiUipines,Fyke waited 11 years beforebecoming a U.S. citizen. The re-quirement to gain citizenship isonly three years wait if the personis married or five years ifunmarried.

Fyke's family moved here fromthe P hill i pines 11 years ago butnot all at one time. Fyke said theyhad to meet requirements for im-

migration so her mother camefirst, followed by the rest of thefamily from oldest to youngest,one at a time. One of her sisters iscurrently still in the PhiUipines,but has plans to immigrate to theU.S. Fyke's family is presently allover the U.S., from Virginia toCalifornia, as well as here in Erie.

Fyke decided to become acitizen because she felt she wouldhave better opportunities. Shebelieves she can better serve hercountry because she feels she is acitizen.

"The process is very hectic tobecome a citizen," said Fyke. Shehad to apply for citizenship andwait three months while the im-migration office approved herstanding. She then had to take anexamination, which primarily

I* appreciate the mention mytalk at the Dean's List dinnerreceived from Ann Johnsoninyour Fri. Nov. 14 edition, page I.

One minor point. Ann Frankwas not an illustration in my talkof Christian humanism. She isavery good, though perhaps,notfully developed, exampleof adevout humanist. She and herfather studied Latin and history inthe Annex where they hid fromthe Nazis. They prayed and led aliturgical life, as you can read inthe Diary. She spent her last daysat Bergen-Belsen ministeringtoothers. She is a magnificent exam-ple of a devout humanist, a stu-dent with a social conscience wholoves and serves God.I actuallyhad mentioned Ann in anotherconnection, namely that theDiarywas attacked by the people whobrought suit in Greeneville, Tenn.to keep their children from being

exposed to Macbeth, Grimm'sFairy Tales, and The Diary of

Ann Frank.While 1 have you on the line I

would like to clear the recordaboutit he Colloquium presentedOn Oct. 28 by Dr. Howard Zinn of

Boston University who presentedthe talk * Central America -Another Vietnam? There weresome statements madein yourcoverage of the event which, inmy estimation, need clarification.

Di Zinn first of all stated thathe distrusted big government. Biggovernment, he thought, tendedto lie and deceive its constituen-cies on certain occasions, so hewas wary of its information and

w

disinformation.

Governments like this,in -cluding our own, tend to supportpuppets. Our government,heclaimed, supporteda puppet inthe form of Diem in SouthVieinam. This tendency to support in-ept and corrupt right wing dic-tatorships is in effect in Latin

America. We are now supportingi he Somositas in the form of theContras in Nicaragua. We helpedoverthrow Allende and establish aright wing totalitarian dictator

named Pinochet and we have longsupported right wing regimes inParaguay and Colombia. Somepeople say we are fighting Com-munists and Communism in LatinAmerica. Dr. Zinn thought wewere supporting such repressiveright wing dictators long beforeCommunism^ was establishedinRussia (1918). We have, as a na-tion, a long history of such sup-port, he said, in Latin Americalong before Communism cameonto the scene,*In the sense thatwe are supporting right wing dic-tatorships currently in Latin-:Americans wejdid in Vietnam,Latin America is anotherVietnam.

Dear Editor,1 am writing this letter to the

person who sent that letter totheeditor in your Nov. 7 edition.

Sir, Madam, or whatever:—Jt.I&J,PQj?ad youjarcjstt. uptightthat you can't enjoyyourself.

If you've never worked onacollege newspaper, you have no>idea how hard these kids work,how manyhoUrs they put in on astory, how long it takes to reachpeople to interview them, etc.Then comes the time they putthepaper to bed. This takes moretime, hard work and problemsolving. So, when I read th eHallowe'en issue, I was pleased tosee them enjoying their "jobs" somuch. The story was hystericaland very enjoyable. There wasnever -any intent to put down

anyone or anything. They weremaking light of a situation. Youseemed to pickeverything'apart.If you are so adamant about thestory, why did you readit over| and over just to count how manytime^*'devilg; or "lived'' ap -peared in it? "' ^ •£

Obviously, you were neverakid. You never went out orTrick-or-Treat. You never made fun ofa witch,goblin,monster or m ovie|star by dressing up like one. Younever came home witha bag ofgoodies and ate tillyou''couldbust. You never decorated yourhouse, or boughta pumpkin tocarve, or gave out candy atyourfront door to enjoy the little ones.I feel sorry for you. You've reallymissed a lot.[ You missed a lot in this issue,too. I think The Merclad is oneof

the best college newspapersaround. Each week they improveon thestories, feature articles andeven the sports coverage. All ofi he articles are written with intentand interest, and keep the reader'sattention. So, once in a while theprinter makes a boo boo. Thisweek he happened to put dollarsigns in a story where they didn'tbelong. You took it to be devilworship or some garbage.

I look forward to each andevery issue. 1 enjoyreading TheMerciad. If "you don't likeit ,

don't read it. And, oh, yes. I'm aparent, not a student.Sincerely, Barbara J. MinorP.S. I'm surprised youmissed

Research Capabilities IncreasedAs ChemDept. Gains Equipmentby Mary Beth Manross

Students in the chemistry,biology and pre-med departmentshave three newinstruments to useto he lp them wi th the i rexperiments. ;. k

According* to the Director ofthe Chemistry Department, Dr.Paul Edwards, "Last, spring weacquired aPerkin-Elmer InfraredSpectrophotometer (PIS) whichwill be used primarily by moststudentsjwho have chemistrycourses." He goes on to explain,"Organic compounds have verydistinct fingerprin ts which help toidentify t he comp ounds and deter-mine their purity." ThePIS was

purchased with funds from theCapital Campaign and cost ap-

proximately $7,000.The Jarrell-Ash Atomic Ab-sorption Spectrophotometer(AAS) was given to the collegethis summer asa gift from theHammermill Paper Company,and would have cost the college$6,000 to purchase. Edwards ex-plains that this device is used fordetecting concentrations in smallamounts. "We have been usingAAS in ourwine analysis to deter-mine concentrations of sodium,c a l c i u m , p o t a s s i u m ,a n dmagnesium in wines,*' statesEdwards. *

On Thursday* Oct, *30 th e

\ Van an Ultra violet-Visible Spec-trophotometer.(UVS) arrivedat

the 'Hurst. Edwards states,"Compounds that are colored ab-sorb visible light at characteristicwave lengths, allowing analysis."This instrument is also used in thewine chemistry experiments. Thisinstrument-was purchased*withfunds f rom t h e C a p i t a lCampaign. M

Edward emphasizes, "State ofthe art equipment * gives ourstudents the chance to see iftheycan work in-a real*:laboratory.''He goes on to add, "The AASisused by 25. of the undergraduatestudents nationwide.It allows asto do bettei research."

Can Ronald Reagan Say"Pm In ChargeHere"?by Brian Sheridan

Just who's in charge at the

White House has been a questioneveryone has been asking lately.President Ronald "Wanna buysome guns?'* Reagan has hishands full with a crisis thatthreatens to undermine hispopularity with the public. Whatjust started with the sale ofweapons to Iran has snowballedinto first class embarrasment forthis lame duck President.

At firsti the arms sale to thecountry that held prisoner U.S.citizens appeared to be related toi he release of prisoners inLebanon. Suddenly, a hostile na-tion that's- involved with viola-tions of human rights and a warwith its neighbor Iraq, not tomention world terrorism, wasgood enough to receive weaponsto continueits /destruction.

Then, after Reagan bumbledthrough an explanationof§ why

•the arms deal was made, furtherproblems arose. The money thatwas received in the arms deal wentto back Contra rebels inNicaragua. That would be in

u violation of the law since Con-J gress passed the Boland Amend-

ment forbiddingU.S. money to begiven to the rebels. !

Next, Reagan claimed he did' not know ofthe deal. Secretary of

State GeorgeShultz also claimedignorance as did the usually well-informed Donald * Regan. Theoperationwas designed by the Na-tional Security Council under thedirection*, of A dm iral Joh nPoindexter and carried out byLieutenant Colonel Oliver North-all within the confines of theWhite House.

Poindexter then stepped downand North was dismissed butmore dirt came out in the wash.Israel was added as a wild card inarranging the deals."Curiouserand curiou ser," said the Cheshire

cat to Alice. Northwas also accus-ed of shredding importantdocuments. Th is now was beginn-

ing to look like Watergate but noone had yet implicated thePresident.

Senate and Justice Departmentcommittees now have the complexjob of making'sense out of themuck. The damage has not beenfully undone yet. i

This affair raises questionsas tohow a multi-million dollar armssale could go through without thePresident's knowledge. If he hadknowledge, he violated the law.He cannot? break the rules ofdemocracy in this country in aself-proclaimed effort to promotedemocracy, apple pie, baseballand mom in other countries.

Who is lying? The Contraleader?said he nevei received anymoney, though he was able toupgrade his armory last month.Regan has been said to rule theWhite House staff with an ironhand. Now, a covert operationhas been run under his nosewithout his knowledge?5 Theweapons came from the DefenseDepartment's stockpiles butCasper Weinberger says he had noknowledge of the deal. What iscertain is that a major deal likethis could not be organized andexecuted by one renegade colonelin a department whose job isn'texternal covert o perations.

We don ' t need anotherWatergate. The President wouldbe best advised to clear theslate assoon as possible * and one firingand one resignation isn 't goingtodo it. His position right nowmakes him either look uninform-ed and incompetent or criminallyliable. As much as I dislike thePresident's policies, to see himhave to resign from office wouldnot be in the country's best in-terest. One embarrassing scandalfrom the nation's highestoffice,inone century, is enough.

ii Why Student Government?"by Mike Kelley, MSG President

A number of days ago, atransfer student stopped by theMSG office on his way to class.He put a question tome that 1 hadbeen pondering since before Itook office. His question -"Whatdoes MSG do?" - is an importantone and should be of concern toall Mercyhurst students.-

A financial consideration,because of the activity fee, yes,but more importantly one of involvement and effectiveness.MSG is on e! of the avenues ofchange here on campus; it is your

voice to (he administration on thewhole range of topics from kegparties to changes in the schoolcalendar. This is perhaps its mostimportant task.We at Mercyhurstare very lucky in that, because ofthe size of the college among otherthings, we have an administrationresponsive to the students. Thereare many mechanisms built intothe system of governing the schoolwhich provide anopportunity tohear the opinions of students. We,as members of student govern-ment, have an obligation to pre-sent these opinions. You,j asmembers ol the student body at

They had somepreservatives in their foods.

When we get older,we eat morenutritious items, such as soup,meats, pizza and even fish. Thesefoods lack the high amount of |preservatives present in the foodsof our childhood. As a result, welook older.

discourse, I realized I had a morevested interest than merely savingan iqnocent turkey's life when Iprotested this holiday. I want tolive a long life, and these turkeyscan't cut it. They don't have asmuch as a milligram of palmitate,or even a single BHT. Besides,this turkey was probably a greatprovider for his little ones, takingthem under his wing, so to speak.Why should we, human beings,the protectors of the planet, killthese innocent birds?

As a Doctor of rock, this extramoney can be used to buy realmusic, not seasonal slop recordedonly to appeal to sentimentalists.Although the Doc doesn't mindthe old hymns and English folksongs in church, it's not the kind

| ' n g to Town^or even 'iMerjyChristmas Baby" which, ironical-!ly, is the flip side of his current"W ar" single.

Bobby Helms* "Jingle BellRock*' remains fun, and theBeatles did a few throwawaysforfan club album s (never released tothe public) in the early sixties.Motown greats have recorded afew excellent Christmas tunes,'too. One of the Doc's all-timefavorites remains JethroTulPs"Christmas Song" from the"Living in the Past" album. AndPhil Spector's Christmas Album -with the Ronettes, Crystals, etc -is a must-own.

Then there's the garbage, like"Grandma Got Run Over by aReindeer," which, to this day,sends the Doctor into convul-s i o n s . T h e C h i p m u n k s '"Christmas Song" is more thanobnoxious, it's an atrocity on apar with Nazi death camps. Andif, by chance, the Doctor, whiledriving, hears the Singing Dogswoof through "Jingle Bells," a

massive chain collision wouldresult, costing hundreds of lives.That's not a threat; only a

warning. x

T h e b ig p r o b l e m w i t h"modern" Christmas music, of

I course, is that it isn't modern.Christmas is such a solemn, tradi-tional event^thar most peopleprefer listening to the same rendi-tions of their usual favorites, yearafter year. Not many artists con-sider dashing off a quick, newChristmas song to keep things]fresh*

Band Aid did it with "D o They

Know It's Christmas?" a coupleyears ago, and Wham I morallyoffended us with "The LastChr i s tmas . " Loca l ly, R ickDiBello a year ago recorded aclever l i t t le di t ty ent i t led,"Santa's Got a Brand New Bag."

Rick had the right idea. If theDoctor would compile an idealcassette of Christmas songs hewouldn't mind hearing, it mightinclude the following: *

Side 1: "I Saw Mommy FrenchKissin' Santa Claus" by DeborahHarry. "Jingle Smells" by TheCramps. "Jah Rest Ye MerryRastamen" by Black Uhuru.!"Deck Monty Hall" by TheRamones. "White Christmas" by iBoy George. "Whose Child is

This?" by Madonna. "It CameUpon the Midnight Partly Cloudywith a 30 Percent Chance' ofS n o w " by E r i e ' s ownWeathermen.

Side 2: "Have yourself a VeryLittle Christmas" by RandyNewman.. "Rudolph the Snot-Nosed Reindeer" by the SexPistols. "Frosty the Snowman"by Boy George. "Harkl^TheHarold RobbinsSing'J by Nick 3

<«

Lowe; "We Three Kings oAre Better Than Two PNick Lowe; "A Weigh Sa manger", by C. W.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow- Snow'J by Boy George.

Now, songs like those winfinitely more tolerable during the tried-and-trutional ho-hummers that aed down our ear canalChristmas. This is the timowhen we are supposed tofeealive, but - if you ask the going through the same myear after year,only deadesenses. J 5

Also, Melody Anderson,as (he woman who hired them,keeps having clairvoyant visionswhen the script needs to be neatlytied together.

Too bad her visions didn't warnthem to steer clear of the middlepart of i he movie and instead,;stop, and try to make sense of theplot. The trio visits Corky, a craz- jed mercenary (played by JohnRhys-Da vies of RAIDERS fame)who does nothing to advance theplot or enhance the film's enter-tainment value. It does needlesslypad out the Him and give everyonetime to go to the concession standas the dull romance between Nor- Jris and Anderson develops.

Now remember; that ChuckNorris became a star on his mar-tial arts abilities. With each pro-gressing film though, he has beenshying away from the kung-fu*tfn-tics and relying more on his charmand personality.
