Brown pushes housing policy changeBy Kevin McHughMcrciad Editor

Director of Residence Life GaryBrown said he is in favor of a proposedhousing policy change that would al-low only seniors to live off campus.4 'From a housing and aneducator'spoint of view, it would be a goodmove," he said. Brown added that themove would only affect about SO stu-dents. W f % m 1gj "Thereasonmany students movedoff campus is because of!the pointssystem they had no apartments to pickfrom," Brown said. IThe proposal was made before therecent off-campus assault, according"This is not a question ofrights," IKennedy said."Just as driving is a privil-ege and not a right, attending Mercyhurst College is aprivilege and not a right."

t* it

to E. William IKennedy, director ofstudent services. That incident simplygave impetus to the issue."This is not a question of rights,"Kennedy said. "Just as driving is aprivilege and not a right, attendingMercyhurst College is a privilege andnot a right. Mercyhurst is a club: youeither join it or you don't.Two student committees, one onhousing contracts,.: the other on thehousing points system have been setup to research theproposal. The com-mittee ont contracts includes JenMarshall,.Janet Holzhaeusscr, KarenTrapolsi and Colleen Ffceney(!Thecommittee on the points system in-cludes Brad Fairfield, Trish Mozdy,Nancy Glotzbach and Colleen Fceney.

According to Brown, die movwould create a more solid and supevised community environment. Wigreater supervision, the probabilityincidents such as December's assaurecurring is decreased, lie said.Kennedy explained that asMercyhurst is a nonprofitorganization, if the move was profitable, those profiwould simply be reinvestedin the college.

Gary BrownSome have argued that the move tomore on-campus housing is an attemptto increase revenue. Kennedy ex-plained that as Mercyhurst is a non-profit organization, if the move wasprofitable, those profits would simplybe reinvested in the college.

Brown added that on-campus students do better academically thathose living off campus, thus the mowould improve academic standardsA decision on the proposal will bmade before the end of Spring termKennedy said. | >

It's obvious that thereason we are taking eveningclasses is because w e have toomany things in conflict during theday; i.e. work, student teaching, orinternships.... Why do I feci asthough we are being punished or,in a sense, discriminated against?5Why is it that when we do havetime during the evening to attend

these lectures I offered, we mustattend class? Yes, I know that afew programs were offered later inthe evening,?but for those whohave families to go home to, thisagain causes conflict. What I amtrying to suggest is that next yearthe administration take into lightthose I: of us who would like toacademically celebrate, but canonly do so in the evening.Sincerely,STEC: Students Taking EveningClasses

Actors surprise audiencesTango & Cash gives fannewjStallone & RussellBy Robi TaylorMerciad Managing EditTango & CashStarring I Sylvester StalKurt RussellDirector Andrei KonchWarner Brothers

I couldn't believe it!!I truly could not believcould ever make a m ovienot in the same genre as his most famous charactersRocky, RCobraJAn even bigger shock is that Tango & Cash is gooThe story is about two hot dog cops who come from oppof Los Angeles, Ray Tango, played by Stallone, and Gabrplayed by Kurt Russell. (Walt Disney must be turning in hissee what kind of movies Russell is making now.)

Thetwo characters are complete opposites. Tango is fromwest side and rich. He show s up for work in a three-piece framed glasses and reading the Wall Street Journ al. But, hstrange quirk....he likes to harrass criminals by doing thidropping live grenades down the front of their pants, f Cash, on the other hand, is a typical lower east side narcHe has shoulder length hair, works in t-shirts and blue jeans aat least three guns, two in holsters and one taped to his leg.Tango and Cash are arrested and convicted for the mufederal agent, which was a set up so Tango and Cash woulblame by a drug lord, played by Jack Palance. All this was revenge against them for confiscating almost $500 millionwhich belonged to Palance.Because they are not guilty of anything, other than the stgetting caught in sucha situation, they spend the restof the mto escapefromprison, the police and the crooks in an effort tnames. - |I personally think theone thing that made this movie sothe humor. Starting with the first scene and continuing throustory there was a surprising number of laughs. Stalloneeven at himself. When another cop says that Tango must think heStallone looks up withavery stern look on his face andsays,a (insert a five letter word for kitten).This was the first time either of these men worked insituation^ This movie could also be considered the first finacritical success that either of them has had in long time.Both Stallone and Russell were believable and they wotogether. If the movie-going public is lucky, this team willa sequel and other projects. I j Maybe the secret of this kind of movie is not to have thehisown films. Every time someone like Stallone directs, theout the same as the one just before it Konchalovsky took t(God, I hate that word) actors and made them seem like the kyou go out drinking with on Friday nights. 1 |Tango & Cash is funny and exciting. But, themain thinis different from anything either man has done before.I am not sure how long this movie will be in town.
