k eggoes;in to effectby Kelley Moore

On Sat. Sept.13, vandals struck the Mer-cyhurst Campus. Three light polesand awindow in Zurn Hall were broken. Shrubswere pulled fromthe ground and the areaaround Briggs Avenu e. Apartments werelittered,"

The destruction caused an ' estimated$1200 damage, whichis being absorbedbyall Briggs Ave. and Townhouse residents,since it is believed that it was caused bythose attending a party in that area. Itwasn't proven thatthe,vandals are Mer-cyhurst students; however,E. William Ken-nedy said he was 'Given informationleading him to assume they were Mer-cyhurst residents.*Meg Fuhrman, a resi-dent of Briggs Apts., believes'It is not fairthat some peoplewho weren't involvedhave to pay for the damages.'; however,Kennedy argues that,'It's either a largenumber of people (meaningall residentsofthe college) that are affected in a smallamount, or a small number of people(Briggs and Townh ouse residents), thatareaffected in a large amount.' Therefore,theresidents of Briggs and the Townhousesmust pay.

All these incidents haveled to a ban onall keg parties in the Townhouse and Ap art-ment buildings, including Sesler Apts.Dueto several complaints from neighborsin theBriggs area, all loud music is [prohibitedfrom now on. Kennedy has I given theresidents a warningin a letter sent Sept.18stating, "The college will press chragesboth internallyand externally throughthecriminals justice s ystem," regarding loudmusic and keg parties. \

Does this mean weare supposed to bringout thekoo I-aid and listen to our walk-manfor the rest of the year? It sure seems thatway. All kegs are bann ed,no more celebra-tions, and no loud music. . |

There was a notabJe change this pastweekend regarding parties. Merill Devernoticed a quieter & moreoRlerly campus,with the exceptionof one large party, w hichwas writtenup by Phyllis Aiello.

Concerningr damages, Dever saidonescrapped^television was burned in GarveyPark; however, there wereno damagestothe buildingsor campus property.

Dever also termedit a very clean campusas compared to prior weekends.

For the people ovei age 21 it is unjust.

The burnedout shell of the T.V. torched bynight.

True, they are living on college property,however, they havethe responsibility ofknowing right from wrong. This statehas$jmade it legal to consume alcoholic bevragesat age 21 and why should this campusbedifferent? The reason is not only van-dalism, it is also neighborhood complaints.

Mercyhurst wantsto maintain a respec-table reputation,jit:doesn't want or needembarrassment fromthe community.

Other local institutions, suchas PennState-Behrend, have a similar rule.1 Theyare not permittedto have kegson campus

College reorganizes academic structureMany changes have occured

this year at Mercyhurst, not theleast of< which is the realignmentof the academic division. Beforethis system began, there were 19d e p a r t m e n t s ! each with achairperson who was responsiblefor reporting to the academicdean. But as of the fall of 1986,

these 19 departments have beencombined into eight divisions,each with its own divisionalchairperson. These departmentsare. Business, chaired by RobertCisek; Hotel-Restaurant Manage-ment, with John Wolper as chair;Education, with Brian McHugh;Performing arts, chaired by SamRotman; Social Sciences, RichardKubiak; Humanities, LudlowBrown; Natural Sciences andMathematics. Lewis Lutton; andHuman Development, with Jac-quelyn Howey.

The reasons for the change, asDean Palmer points out,primari-ly involve the growing concernover the need to increaseefficien-cy. 'I'm looking forward to the

new divisional structure because itwill create a m ore efficient way toapproach the academic problemsoi this institution.'

As designed, the new programallows for each member of adepartment to report to hisdepartmental director who in turnwould report to his divisionalchairperson, who is then responsi-ble to the dean.

A system similar to this existedat Mercyhurst in the 1970's,

although some of the divisions to-day are new.

According to Dean Palmer, theagenda for the divisional chairs sofar this year will includeevaluating the new system,discussing a new core curriculum,and debating a switch to a schoolcalendar consisting of three

eleven-week terms."The faculty response isunifiedin their belief that there is a needto cut down on the number ofpeople who must deal directlywith the dean.

Mr. Richard Kubiak has a veryoptimistic outlook on the newstructure. The improved efficien-cy, in his opinion, will greatly im-

prove the^ flow of information.Kubiak says, 'This system willdevelop a sense oi comradery andcompanionship within the divi-sions, which will combine to in-crease pressure on the administra-tion for the benefit of the school.If it goes as it should, the divi-sional chairmen will set theacademic program, which is as itshould be.' Kubiak is 'Lookingfor the place to really start toexplode.'

Jacquelyn Howey believes theprogram will benefit curriculumdevelopment. Potential forinteraction of departments willleadto the sharing of resources.?AsMs. Howey sees it, the purpose of

Ferralli regis ters 14tlti p a t e n tBy MarcMcAndrew

Dr. Michael Ferralli of the Mer-cyhurst* Science Departmentreceived wordtearly this summerthat his invention, the SignelSL-100 D e f i n i t i v e I m a g eLoudspeaker, won the1 ngineer-ing Design Award at the Interna-tional Consumer ElectronicsS h o w i n C h i c a g o . T h i sloudspeaker system was the pro-duct of Ferralli's 13t.h patent.

Shortly afterwards this summerFerralli received news that his14th patent was approved by theU.S. Patent Office. This new pa-tent lays the groundwork for Fer-ralii's two latest inventions.1 irst,this latest patent helped improveFerralli 's a l ready reknown

loudspeakers.

Second, and more amazing, his14th patent is the basis for a NovelAcoustic lens used in anExtracoiporeal Kidney StoneLithotripteiFerralli is currently developingthis device through a $35,000r e s e a r c h ^grant 1rom thegovernment.

What Ferrelli's complicatednew device actually does is nonsurgically destroy kidney stones.This would mean that people withkidney stones could have themremoved without an operation ora lengthy hospital stay.

This new invention is so in-fluential that Ferralli was recentlyinvited to present a seminar on hiswork to the Food and Drug Ad-

ministration in Washington, DC.

Ferralli is currently seekinganother government grant due tothe fact that he feels his new in-vention promises to be a majorbreakthrough in arthritis therapy.

Ferralli also had two paperspublished this summer which dealwith his work. The first one is en-titled, "Ion Beam Induced FilmD e p o s i t i o n o n M e t a l l i cSubstrates," published in Th eJournal of Material Research. Hissecond paper, "360 DegreeDispersion Frequency InvariantAcoustic Transduction System,"will be presented at the 81stAudioEngineering Convention inAnaheim,Calif, this fall.

Treating symptoms; Pay scale proposedignoring the disease for SAC officers

The Mercyhurst adminstration is again on the warpath against cam-pus drinking. Every year the same kind of senselessdestruction andwaste are caused by drunken students who cannot control their actions.

'Every year a stricter policy gets effectedbyAwith little result. Theunderage drinking and destruction of property still continue. The "nokeg*' law again will try to curb the abuses. Will it be sucessful? Pro-bably nou ^

Penalties for violations of P.A. Liquor and campus drinking lawssuffer from thesame limitations that the drinking and drivinglaws oncehad before the rise of the national cry of"get tough." Just as thebusinessman who drinks too m uch at happy hour an d then drives homein a state of intoxication was once seen asacceptable, because"everybody does it", so is the traditional picture of the inebriated col-lege student. M ovies like "A nima l .Ho use " have glamorized rowdybehavior. I f.With this behavior being seena* "nor mal" , or even worse "cool* ,

enforcement of any policy becomes rather inconsequential, at least inthe eye ofmany. If a student was expelled because of such activity, thecry would be"They're in college, "What do you expect them to do ?"So, in a sense, you have created a complex "Catch-22" situation andstricter policies from the adminstration just results in more rebellionfrom the students.How can a policy like thisbe seriously enforced when beer companiesmake deliveries on this campus at a seemingly endless pace. You can'tstop them from delivering because that's aninfringment of trade. Theyhave to ask for identification from the person who's accepting thedelivery but it's not to hard to find a21 year-old to sign the bill. Anyperson of legal age buying alcohol for minors incidentally, will be heldresponsible for any mishaps resulting from their intoxication an d if thepolice get involved, they can be charged with "corrup ting th e morals ofa minor." . ; *

>MSG represenativesplan to meet with Dr.Garvey and Mr. Kennedyto discuss clarifyingor'modifying campus policy. From'the MSGmeeting, it seems they are not in favor of discontinuing campus keg-partying. Some steps have to be taken though for the problem seems tobe getting out of hand. Has anyone thought about alcohol and drugawareness programs for those,who traditionally have been punished?Why not help? If the adminstration feels so strongly about studentsdrinking how can they justify th e inconsistencyallowing SAC to cart abusload of students to an adjoining staste that has a lower liquoer ageon the pretext of'dancing."The last time we looked, it was possibletodance in Erie County.

Prohibition showed that you cou ldn't legislate morality or good senseand the Volstead Act was unable to enforce national sobriety; neitherwill the adminstration be able to impose campus sobriety.

Just as Alcoholics Anonymous states that the first step in curing theproblem of abuse , be it chemical or alcohol, is admitting that you needhelp, the students at Mercyhurst who"party- till-they-puke"will haveto admit to themselves that their behavior isn't the way to achieve amature, responsible attitude toward drinking. They, and they alonecando this as part of the maturation process— it cannot be superimposedby any outside authority.

In the MSG meeting of Sept.21, Susan Trumbull, the SACvice-chairperson, introduced aproposal in which the MSG, SACand the college would underwritethe cost of paying the SAC of-ficers. In the past, the SAC of-ficers have been appointed toserve withoutremuneration.

The purpose of the proposal,according to Trumbull, is "to seta precedent so next yea r's officerscan have themoney...for compen-sation for time and effort TheSAC officers are no differentfrom MSG officers," in thatallhave a large commitment of timeand effort.

Under the proposal, actually anamendmentiof a February 1986proposal iby Pa t C allahan, thevice-chairperson would receive$500, while the secretary,treasurer and public relationsdirector would receive $250 each.In a situationwhere two or morepeople share thei position, themoney would be split. %

MSG and SAC would each

K o v s k i

underwrite $125 of this cost, with

the college picking up the tab forthe remaining $1000. MSG Presi-dent Michael Kelly said that theMSG budget doesn't have themoney budgeted for this expense,but "If we have to, we cansqueeze itout."\ j The budgetsfor MSG and SACcome from a fee levied on allstudents at the beginning of theschool year.The organizations arethen responsible for the allocationof funds.

S A C C h a i r p e r s o n Tr a c yWasson stated that the SACbudget is composed of studentfunds and isearmarked for stu-dent activities; therefore, SACdoesn't want to absorb thefullamount of these salaries. In addi-

tion, the SAC and MSGbudgetswere cut this year, a result of thefreehanded spending of last year'sadministration.

There was a suggestion that, ifthe positions were to be paid, theyshould be elected in the future. Atpresent, all SAC offices are ap-

For the past few years, therehas bee$ a gang operating on theMercyhurst campus.- We •»• havefinally been able to identify thisgroup known only as The

Merciad.The head of this ring is a

postulating individual with awarped sense of humor. ,f He isdangerous only when confrontedby other warped people or Yup-pies. Known as BrianSheridan,(aka The Showcase BottleWasher) he can be caught byscreaming "Frank Sinatra!" -

His second-in-command isrelatively unknown. Rumor has itthat he can be spotted occasional-ly playing pool in the Union.

Another member of this gang isJennifer Conmy. She can be seenat sporting events involving Mer-cyhurst College. She is oftenarm-ed with a camera, but is notdangerous unless infuriated.

The extortion expert (akaBusiness Manager) is one HeidiBeezub. Miss Beezub is aided inher activities by Tom Mulligan.

Paula Bruno notifies the com-munity of activities on andaround the Mercyhurst campus.

It is a depressing factthat we have seen it happenall toooften in recent years. The SovietUnion invaded: Afganistan' inDecember, 1979 and the SALT IItreaty languishes in the Senate.|The Soviets shoot down a Koreanairline in 1983 and the Genevaarms talks bog down. Now, theSoviets seize an Americanreporter on trumped-up spycharges just when hopes for a se-cond Reagan-Gobachev summitwere rising and "promising

developments" in arms controlnegotiations were being reported.What's the problem? Why dothese "incidents" continue to popup and delay or derail efforts'toreduce superpower tension?

The most serious incidents im-pairing East-West relations in thelast decade are generally seen asstemming from brutal, even in-human, Soviet actions thatoutrage American (and sometimes

*i

even world) opinion. (One couldadd the crushing of the Solidaritymdjtonent in Pblknd in 1981 andth ed ftlurder ' 6V ' "Mayor Arthur |Nicholson in E3& Germany lastyear to the list.) Why do Sovietleaders at best condone and at theworst order such callous actionswhen they must realize thedamage it does to their professedgoal of restoring "detente" withthe.West?

Some commentators answer bysaying "it's the nature of thebeast": Soviet leaders are just do-ing what comes naturally forGodless, totalitarian rulers. Toexpect civilised, humane behaviorfrom such figures is unrealisticand we're deluding ourselves ifwet hink that relations with them canever be "normalized". The tigercan't change his stripes, and thesooner we realize that the better.

• «

Oi hers believe most of these in-cidents stem from the unauthoriz-

ed actions of incompetent lowerofficials who fail to recognize thedamaging repercussions of theiracts. Stupidity is then compound-ed by obstinacy as Soviet leadersresist the humiliation of publiclyadmitting the mistake.1 Yet oth ers look to the

miscalculation" theory,j Sovietleaders order or approve the ac-tion without fully appreciating theconsequences. They then scrambleto minimize the damage, butwithout the embarassment ofacknowledging any error.

In the case of the Daniloffaf-fair (unlike the Korean airlinertragedy) the available evidenceseems to rule out the "incompe-tent underlings" explanation. The

first arrest of a major Ameriannews reporter in the Soviet Unionin the post-World War 11 period isnot likely to have occurredwithout Gorbachevs explicitsanction. But why would this sup-posedly bright, sophisticated, newSecretary-General order such athing? The answer, in my view,isa combination of frustration,d e t e r m i n a t i o n , a n dmiscalculation.

The frustration of Gorbachevand his Polltboro colleagues is theresult of the Reagan Administra-tion's failure to respond'positivelyto ariy nof*<ttie GeneraWeVtetary'snumerous recent peace Initiatives(especially his call for amoratorium on nuclear testing)

coupled with what the Kremlinsees as growing signs of American"aggressiveness" (the invasion ofGrenada, the raid on Libya, in-creased aid to rebels inAfghanistan, Nicaragua, andAngola). The Kremlin feels theWhite House is not showingenough "respect" for the SovietUnion's image and interests as asuperpower. This frustration im-pels the Soviet leadership to showsigns of its own "toughness".

When, then, a Soviet U.N. of-ficial named Gennadi Zakharovwas arrested by the F.B.I, on

"homecom ing" continued from page 1

On Sun., everyone is invited to

attend 11:00 a.m. m ass at the col-lege's chapel, and at 1:00 p.m.,everyone can gather at the Mer-cyhurst - St. Francis Soccermatch for the last time until thenext reunion. .

Along with I sponsoring thebarbecue and the concert, MSGand SAC were able to put togethera busy schedule for the students.Activities will be featured thisyear more than any other yearbecause of the fact that there wasa great deal of participation.

Tracy, Wasson , President ofS A C , s t a t e d , " H o p e f u l l y.Homecoming will be a lot more

fun than in the past years." She

continued, "we really workedhard to put this together.Lisa Costello, Director of Stu-

dent Union, Tracy Wasson, andSue Trumbull, Vice President ofSAC, were able to setup commit-tees f to organize events such asHomecoming nominations, aSlug-a-Junker contest (held afterthe barbecue), as well as otherevents. On Wednesdayand Thurs-day, the voting for King andQueen was held in the Cafeteriaand Zurn Hall Foyer. Duringhalf-time of the football game,the crowning of the King andQueen will be held.

Aug. 23 on espionage charges thestage was set for:an "incident".

Normally, the event would havebeen "routine". -Hundreds ofsuch minor Soviet spies have beenarrested and .expelled fromWestern countries in the pastthree years . But this time it wasdifferent. A Brooklyn magistraterefused to release Zakharov onbail to the custody of the SovietAmbassador, as is commonly thecase in such instances. The Sovietleaders, wrongly,; covinced theReagan Administration wasbehind the magistrate's decision,saw it as a "slap in the face", asevidence- o f ; a "contemptuousdisregard" for Soviet pride.Determined to show itwon Id* notpassively accept this change in the"rules of the spy game" (and also

interested in getting Zakharovaway?from his interrogators) theSoviets ordered; the arrest o fNicholas Daniloff (whose ex-cellent investigative journalism inthe Soviet Union annoyed them).

Gorbachev's determination,strengthened by his mountingfrustration, was now compound-ed by serious miscalculation. Hesimply'failed to accurately judgehow public opinion in the UnitedStates,* as '.' well as in WesternEurope, would react to the clearlycontrived indictment of an inno-cent reporter. The Reagan Ad -ministration did not help matters^by its hasty* and thoughtless™statements early in the crisis aboutarranging a "trade" of Danilofffor Zakharov. Forced to backaway from this position by angryreaction from the President's ownconservative supporters, Reagannow insists that Daniloff is a"hostage" w ho must be freed andwhose case is in no way similar toZakharov's.

Both governments, anxious toavoid the appearance of giving into pressure from the other side,have dug in their heels. The Sovietdecision to formally chargeDaniloff and Gorbachev's recent

public statement labeling him "aspy who was caught in the act"have dangerously narrowed themaneuvering room available tofind a mutually face-saving "ac-comodation" (it can't be called a

[ "trade" or "deal" anymore).Concern about looking like that"wimp", Jimmy Carter, has ledthe Reagan Administration tomarkedly strengthen the har-shness of its rhetoric.

These seems little doubt thatthis "incident" must be resolvedbefore a second summit meetingcan be held and any meaningfulprogress on arms control or otherissues achieved. Right now, we'rein a "holding" pattern with themost that can be expected is thatneither side will take steps toworsen the crisis. I am convincedthat both governments now seethe affair as an annoying obstacleon the road to improved relationsthat each is committed to. But im-aginative diplomacy is still re-quired if a mutually acceptablesolution is to be found. The ingre-dients for such a solution are pre-sent -fthe Soviets are willing torelease Daniloff, maybe evenwithout a trial, provided theyreceive assurances that Zakharovwill be released after his trial andprobable conviction. They wouldalso likely be willing to release afew. dissidents, allowing them toclaim it was a •* ^humanitarian*'gesture and the Reagan Ad-ministration to assert they "trad-ed" Zakharov for the dissidents,not Daniloff* Such a deal will nodoubt be criticized by some hard-liners who prefer a "no talks, notrade" response to this latest ex-ample of Soviet perfidy. But,however imperfect, it wouldrepresent a rational, mutuallyface-saving solution to the pro-blem. In all such confrontationsbetween the Superpowers thismust always be the object sought.
