F i r b a n k s t o Perform a t Springfest o n S a t u r d aBy Rich Costelloeand James GormanLast Saturday, May 2 was theoriginal dateestablished for SpringFest, but this event was postponeduntil this Saturday, May 9. Therewere many reasons why the eventwas canceled and moved to thefollowing weekend.First, the coordinators of the Stu-dent Activities Committee couldnot And the grill that was going tobe used for a cookout Also, theweatherdid notcooperate formost

of the day on Saturday, thereforethe SAC felt that it would be ben-eficial to postpone Spring Fest

Final ly,becauseof inadequate pub-licity many people were not awareof Spring Fest, the activities thatwere involved and the times thatthey were going to take place.Because of all these factors, theSAC decided that they were goingto postpone the events in order toget a better turnout and hope thatthe weather cooperated with theiractivities.As a result, Spring Fest will beheld on Saturday, May 9, andshould draw more people due tobetter publicity. This weekend'sSpring Fest will coincide withSpring Activities in an attempt todraw as many people as possible.Spring Activities will begin at

noon on Saturday, and there is stillroom for more teams toen tenThereis a total of eight teams that willcompete in the activities.There will be a cookout at 2 p.m*and it is open to all students.

W h o W i l l T a k e Seinfeld s P l a c e o n T h u r s d a y N i g hBy Heather CvitkovieA&EWriteA

Come August, the most cov-eted spot in television history willbe vacant In May, Seinfeld signsoff after nine seasons on the topand its departure from the ranksleaves a big4 hole'on Thursdaynights. |So the hottest question onthe television circuit is who is go-ing to take Seinfeld's place.

Early in March, Jerry Seinfeldmade the unbelievable announce-ment that this would be Seinfeld'slast season. TV viewers every-where were surprised.' Seinfeldhad become Thursday night TVand was NBC's headliner for"Must See TV." And everyonewas left wondering what wouldhappen next. NBC pleaded withthe comedian, reportedly offeringhim $5 million an episode if hestuck with the show. No deal.Seinfeld was reported as saying

that he wanted to let the show g obefore people got sick of it, andthat proved to be a wise move. Ifhe had decided to stick around foranother year, the press woulddoubtless be less kind than theyhave been during the hype of thesefinal weeks. Just a month beforehis decision, Seinfeld was againanswering |criticism about thisseason's quality or lack thereof.MIf:I get ofT now," Seinfeld ex-plai ned in a Time cover story abouthis decision, "I have a chance at astanding ovation.*'

So what, or who, comes next?Hollywood now seems to havebecome a mad auction house withwriters and producers vying forthe 30 minutes of prime time realestate the network will sublet toone very lucky series this fall. Ofcourse, everyone knows TheTimeSlot Formerly Known as Seinfeldcomes with a hefty price: How doyou follow up... nothing?

Some are looking no furtherthan former Saturday Night Livecomedian Davidl Spade's newsitcom. Just Shoot Me -centeringon a dysfunctional group of m isfitsduking it out at fashion magazineBlush - has emerged as one of thebiggest ratings this season. Afterbeing shuffled around, going fromWednesday to Tuesday, it?wasgiven a trial run on Thursdaynightsj. When the response wasoverwhelmingly good, Shoot wa sgiven a permanent spot on Thurs-day night. An envious one at that,sandwiched between Friends andSeinfeld. The ratings soared, put-ting Spade's show in contentionfor the soon vacant 9 o'clock spotNow for the drama. With NBC'simpending loss of Seinfeld, whichgenerates an estimated $200 mil-lion in ad revenue annually, NBCexecs have their work cut out forthem in trying to find a show thatkeeps the money coming in on

Thursday nights. It is a highlycritical decision and will probablydetermine whether NBC remainsthe No. 1 network.Enter the contenders. First isFrasier. This show is a reliable hitagai nst ABC sHomelmpro vementand Kelsey Grammar has made itclear that he wants the sp ot ButNBC is hesitant about relocating itfor fearof ruining its T uesday nightlineup.Next in line is Friends. Thisshow might be apossi bility,merelysoNBCcansalvageTuesdaynightsand again Friends gets the ratings.It is the No. 4 show this season.The only problem for NBC wouldbe losing its powerhouse intro intothe Must See TV Thursday lineup.So then 3rd Rock From the Sunenters the picture. Although cur-rently the ratings have begun tofalter, it appears tobe because NBCis putting this show in weak timeslots. They feel that may be i t would

do better on Thursday nadd to the lineup.And Anally, Just STheone problem with Shis has just started gainiand although retainingFriends* audience, it stiaverage, a million viewea big risk for such an itime slotUntil the announcemecomes May 18th when veal s its fall schedule, vihave to mourn the loss oand hope that whatever powers >that be choose them busy at 9. And as waits for the much anSeinfeld series finale, good luck to all the Twaiting in the wings to You have a lot of... wellness to fill.

StasisBy Joe GallagherMerciad ColumnistIntensity. It is what's shown inpeople who do what they enjoy fortheir lives, and through the energythey expediate in doing it It ismarked by the ir enthusiasm as thatis how they express it I ntensi ty isstrong,and it is present inany area,but rarely is it felt in our societywhich advocates striving for in-tensity in only a few fields, whe-ther they be suited to a person orno t Intensity does not necessarily

make people masters oftheirarena,it simply boasts the energy theypossess. Most people d on't find it,if they even bother chasing it,whether they pretend to or notAlcoholics anonymous is a well-known program to assist people intheir recovery from a substance onwhich they've grown dependentIt has been around for many de-cades. Many have turned to it andfound success. It is beneficial, andthat has not gone unnoticed. Judi-cial courts have now picked up onit People are commonly orderedto attend A A meetings for DUIcharges and other substance abu-ses as well. With this extended(ab)use of AA, many more indi-viduals come into contact with it,its intensity is lost, it is no longerwhat it was.

Volunteer work is considerednoble nearly anywhere it is found.In the end it assists individuals,communities, and environments,while at the same time building amore well-rounded and strongcharacter for a person. It is usual-ly done with little or no monetarybenefit, perhaps a place to stay anda minimal stipend at best for long-term places. Almost no one in theirrigh t mind would object to its be-ing required for graduation fromcertain classes/school s as the ben-efit in one's character is evidentHowever, making it mandatorytakes the volunteer aspect away

and replaces it with service.Whether it comes from a courtsentence or a schools- recommen-dation, many more individualscome into contact with it, its in-tensity is lost, it is no longer whatmlit was,Look at any music scene populartoday that is distributed throughmajor recording corporations. It iscreated from underground levelsand performed with dignity by aselect crowd. When this is seen, sois the potential for exploitation,manipulation, and money, bring-ing us those big entertainmentgroups. It is no new story. Witnessit in anystyle: The intensified firstgeneration ska is nothing like thethird w ave ska of the 1990's. Theoriginal blues is nothing like theresurgence of today. 50's rocka-billy style is nothing like the rock-n-roll of later times. Hippie musicfrom the 60's is nothing like theyuppified version of today.Hardcore coming from the start/heart is nothing like the monoto-nous boredom found now. The ini-tial jazz is nothing like the re-newed interest > seen ?in whitemiddle-class audiences today.And so on the same is so ... inswing, hip hop, metal, R&B, rap,goth, disco, ethnic, techno, etc.,etc. Punk rock has become pop-rock. As more individuals comeinto contact with it, its intensity islost, it is no longer what it was.

Where grass-roots action and in-terests of people may be a begin-ning point, it is soon picked up bysome, and then received by manyin different ways or extents thanwhat it had started as. See the les-bians and gay8of decades ago ver-sus the post-high school 4-yearvibrant and popular child of today.See'the revolutionary anarchistslike Doris Day versus the ignorantrebellious child of today. See theconservationists of years ago ver-sus the young people today whorecycle. See elite universities of

academics of yesteryear versus theextended high schools (colleges)of kids today. See tribal reli gionsand philosophies versus today'secumenical institutionalized reli-gions. See democratic states andrepublics, racists, monarchies, therise s and failings of empires, edu-cation systems, civilrights,unions,affirmative action, etc., etc. Seethe agendas, the motivations, theinterests. Many more individualscome into contact with it, its in-tensity is lost, it's no longer what itwas.Anywhere one goes and findshuman activity, in that arena thereis found an "oldj school" and a"new school" of people presentAn astonishing point though is thatit is not always chronological agethat defines the difference of thepeople in them. Itis intensity whichwas present from the "old" time,when only a small population ofpeople comprised that particulararena at stake.)Popularity bringsabout many more people as anaudience. Sure, it's wonderful thatit exposes them to the energy ofwhat mat particular'scene'is1 allabout, but how manyof them actu-ally receive and understand it tostick around and function effec-tively?

The Other Side ofRegistratBy Kathleen HudakContributing Writer

I am writing this column in re-sponse to last w eek's article con-cerning the scheduling process.For the past three years I haveworked as a student employee inthe Regis trar's Office. I know whatit means to stand in line as well asto enter registration slips. And Iagree that it can be a frustratingprocess.Sara Blecki has a good sugges-tion about rearranging the regis-tration process. However it is notideal at this time. About a yearanda half ago the school acquired anew database system in which itkeeps the student records. Thissystem is called Data-Tel. Imple-menting this system into theschool's network has affected theentireadministration,includingtheRegi strar'sOffice. So notonl ydoesthis office have to arrange the classschedule, make sure there areenough rooms available, and allthe other duties that are involvedwith the job, but they also have toensure thai Data-Tel * is function-

First of all the stu-dents must visit their advisors tomake sure that they are fulfillingthe appropriate major require-ments.

Last year,Vancouver liberalized its needleexchange program and now hasthe highest population of cocaineandheroin users in Canada. Is thiswhat the 'Democrats want; inAmerica? Do they want anAmerica which exerts a cavalierattitude towards drug use attaxpayer's expense? In preachingMil Han individualism, they fail toemphasize responsibility and thecommon good.

We can notallow the members of a society totaint their bodies only to have thegovernment provide more of theserum which continues this de-struction. While notall Democratsabide by such a ridiculousnotionwhich believes drug use will de-cline by facilitating further druguse, it is unnerving to see thosewho advocate such a positionwhich helps neither humanity northe common good. Legislators donot owe their judgment to theirradical fringes, rather they owetheir judgments to their own wis-dom and rationality.

Sturm Refuses! to Let for Teaching DBy BUI MelvilleFeatures Editor

For many teachers, retirement isa time to move beyond teachingand to enjoy the parts of life theymissed out on. That is not true,however, for Robert Sturm, pro-fessor of sociology. After morethan 40 years of teaching, Sturm,who retires at the end of May, willreturn to Mercyhurst to teach Glo-bal Issues in the fall and the winter.Sturm, w ho originally hails fromPittsburgh, attended JDuquesneUniversity, where he received abachelor's degree in English andhistory education and a master'sdegree in education counseling.Sturm also studied further at JohnCarroll University and EdinboroUniversity, and became certifiedasa school psychologist He taughtand worked at a variety of places,ranging from prisons to RobertMorris Junior College, where he

served as director of the psychol-ogy departmentIn 1966, Sturm received an offerto join a former colleague on thefaculty at M ercy hurst, and has re-mained here ever since."President Garvey and I taughtat North Catholic High School to-gether, andhe recommended me toSr. Carolyn ( former president ofMercyhurst) for an administrativejob. Once we finished raisingmoney to build the library, I re-turned to teaching /' Sturm said.After returning to teaching,Sturm became the chair of second-ary education. Later, when thecriminal justice program was cre-ated, Sturm's experience in work-ing for three prisons helped him tobecome co-chair of that depart-men t For several years now, Sturmhas been a member of the sociol-ogy departmentThe wide range of academictracks Sturm has taught in is very

Robert Sturmimportant to him."The thing I m proudest of is thatI've taught 40 different coursesfrom high school to grade school,"he said. Butfor Sturm, one coursestands out above the others: Glo-bal Issues."Robert Sturm has taught more

subjects at Mercyhurst than anyother person. His senior seminar isa capstone course that has chal-lenged the best Mercyhurst stu-dents," W illiam Kennedy, dean ofstudent services, said."Teaching that class has beenmy focus for the last seven or eightyears. It's very time consuming,and it's almost as though I spentmy whole life preparing to teachthis course. It's hard to make glo-bal issues easy because you can 'twater it down. Everything is fresh,controversial, so getting to thatinformation takes some detectivework," Sturm said.Aside from teaching, Sturm hasalso had a long career as a coach.He served as co-coachof the tennisteam for many years, and in 1976,Mercyhurst won the NAIA na-tional championship. However,for Sturm, coaching was alwayssecondary to teaching."Coaching has always been more

like the dessert. Temaincourse.The besing was always thepect Originally I weing to become a coaup coaching to coteaching," Sturm saiWhile Sturm will bdependentcontractoteach four classes-ovhe will be free from tember.

Hain A Name that!Will be Heard Aga'. :. '!' * ;'H-iBy Jessi GentileMerciad WriterWhen Jim Hain graduated in1993 fromMercyhurst PreparatorySchool he had dreams of making it

big in the motion picture industry.Yet after Hain settled in at PointPark, a small college in downtownPittsburgh, he realized that a ca-reer in filmmaking was not forhim.So in the spring of 1994, Haindecided to return home to Erie.Once back, he immediately en-rolled at Mercyhurst as an Englishmajor with a creative writing con-centration. For Hain, the decisionto attend Mercyhurst did not re-quire much consideration.When he decided to change hismajor, he knew that the Hurst waswhere he wanted to be. Hain hadknown some of the instructors atthe college and therefore was fa-miliar with the quality of the En-glish department He said that andthe friendly atmosphere of thecampus, were key factors in hisdecision.Once at Mercyhurst, Hain's writ-ingcareer took off. In fact, he hasbeen a member of the Merciadstaff for three years, writing on

everything from films to students.His first experience with the paperwas small, but that was soon tochange. After gaining a year ofexperience through writing moviereviews, he became Arts and En-tertainment editor. This year, Hainhas worked as copy editor and asa contributing writer.To add to his success and lists ofaccomplishments at the Merciad,Hain was presented with the BrianSheridan Excellence in Journal-ism Award from t he Communica-tions department last spring andwas co-recipient of the Betsy LantzMemorial Editor's A wardfor 1998.Not only is Hain a talented jour-nal ist, but he is also an exceptionalcreative writer. Hisspecialty is theshort story. Hain awed everyone atthe 1998 Senior English ProjectPresentations wiin his talentedshort story "Blinded By the Light."The story is about organized re-ligion and its opposition Haincharacterizes this work as a satirethat masterfully weaves togetherthe story of a preacher, his connec-tion to a satanic rock star and mu-tual exploitation."It was incredible. He is deli-nitely oneof the best writers in theprogram," junior English major

Kari Repenning said after hearingHain's reading at the presenta-tions.Jody Washington, a senior En-glish major , said that Hain is an"extraordinary writer with atwisted mind, but that is definitelya good thing."Besides devoting time to writ-ing, Hain spends manyofhis hoursacting for local theaters such as theRoadhouse and the Erie Play-house. For instance, he has ap-peared in such successes as Inheritthe Windy HotJ Baltimore , andmost recentl y, Nci 1 Si mon*slaugh-ter on the 23rd Floor. Hain seesacting as yet another outlet for his(creative expression,

Hain said he views his Mercy-hurst education as invaluable. Hesaid that he owes much to the En-glish department. Dr. KennethSchiff and Mr. Barry McAndrew,associate professors of English,have been particularly helpful inhoning Hain's skills as a writer."Schiff introduced me to litera-ture that I would never have readbefore. Dr. Schiff has helped mebring my writing to the next level,"Hain said.Even though graduation is near,Hain has not stopped being the

Jim Hain.student, journalist, actor andwriter that people have come to

know. Hain's plans for the futurehope to incorporate all of thebestexperiences of these many facetsof his life. In the long run, Hainwould like a position as a free-lance writer for a magazine ormaybe even to publish short sto-ries.But right now Hain just wantsto concentrate on improving andfine tuning his writing skills.
