Not all of themuse the service, but the sign-up entitles themto use it when they wish, the source added.According to the source, who requestedanonymity, the service is not used by enoughstuden ts to justify its existence.On Nov. 9, the service closed at 6 p.m. Itwas too late to put the remaining money,totaling $2,47420 in cash and $365.89 inchecks, in the business office safe in OldMain. Instead, the money was locked in a filecabinet in the MSG office.* *When I opened the office at 11 sum thenext morning, I noticed that the window hadbeen broken, Vincent said.

According to Merrill Devcr, director ofcampus security, whoever stole the moneyentered the MSG office, took the money boxfrom the file cabinet, broke a window and

threw thebox two stories below. After leavingthe MSG office, the thief or thieves wentoutside Old Main and grabbed the moneybox. 7?

Healso received a M.A. in Fine Artsfrom the Un iversity of Idaho, wh ichis thePh.d. equivalent instudio art.After completing his education, hemoved to Manhattan where heworked as afree- ance artist. Healso did voluntary work,at soupkitchens and shelters for the home-less, ^most notably the "CatholicWorker" soup kitchen started byDorothy Day. \ It's true what theysay about Manhattan," Clark said."I f you go there, doors open up ."

God had given me an awful lot oftalent and this would be a way ofunselfishly giving that talent back; akind of prayer of thanksgiving." IWhile in South Korea, Clark gotmarried.

Mercyhurst Prof Bothered!L ac k f Lighting Leaves Stueaning Of Sign Removal Questioning The Safety Of OldM

Dear Mercyhurst Community,Recently some signs were torn down from the bulletin boards where they had been placedthroughout the school* and I want to reflect on the significance of this act jIt is on the surface a very minoroccurrence- certainly not serious enough to provoke a letterto the editor. The w orld situation hasnot changed because ofit Neither has the College becomea floundering institution overnight as a consequence. f fg

DearEditor: i jj Until fall semester,1 was not aware of what I now consider a major safety hcampus. i 1 M WBecause of closed-out weekday classes, I found myself enrolled in a Sundcourse. Every Sunday evening as I entered Old Main at 5:30 and exited at 8:15,1same unlit stairwells and corridors. * MMercyhurst goes outof its way to provide evening and weekend courses for thother class times inopportune. I believe that the college should provide the sconsiderations to students enrolled in those courses that it provides to everyone It does not seem that those responsible for scheduling courses should find itnotify campus security of evening and weekend class times. And campus securia few light switches. \ 4am confident that because Mercyhurst Collegeaits and faculty, this problem will be remediedBut it is not the consequences of the act which concern me; rather, it is the attitude which Sincerely, rit reflects. W * m ' I T m~ Jackie RzompThe signs in question were announcing new offerings in the Hum anities Division: coursesin Polish language and culture. Because no other signs were torn down at the same time, I haveto assume that someone deliberately chose these, and that that person did so because ofprejudice. Some may think the word4 prejudice9' inappropriate to describe so inconsequentialan actas1 tearing down a few sighs, but prejudice does express itself in mean - * *

11 isan ugly w ord, prejudice,andone which sounds particularly inappropriate in the contextof Mercyhurst College, where the philosophy, the curriculum and the personnel are alldedicated to the openingof minds, rather that the closing of them. We arean institution of higherlearning which affirms the value of the individual. We find human differences, as reflected inlanguage and culture, precious resources, and we see the opportunity to learn other languagesand to experience other cultures as eminently enriching experiences. \I am greatly disappointed that such a prejudicial attitude exists somewhere at MercyhurstI hope that whoever is responsible will somedayfind he courage to welcome difference andsee in each new person or culture he or she encounters, one of the infinite facets of creation 'sdiversity. * * * V .

For thefirst ime in my life I hadbeen forced to dea l with the realityof death. Now, death is not some-thing the average 13 year-old

I certainly w asn't preparedto think abou t something like this. Iwas thinking? about my baseballgame on Saturday afternoon. Butmy thoughts eventually, *f quitequickly in fact, moved from base-ball to my brother's plight .rI began thinking about all thethings my brother and I had donetogether all our lives. The footballgames, cowboys and indians, andall that stuff. But then I began think-ing about what it] would be likewithout having him around.

I know I can't get through theyear 1987 without talking about thealbum J that sold more than eightmillion worldwide - Slippery WhenWe hy Bon Jovi. I' m not a Bon Jovifan by any stretch of the imagina-tion, buthe does write some intelli-gent lyrics and adequate songs.However, I bet this album wouldn'thave sold eight copies if Mr. BonJovi looked like Howard Cosell. * *It was time to go back to thegarage for the metal mastersMetailica. Garage Days Re-Revis-ited sold almost a million copieswith no airplay (except collegeradio and Z-Rock) and no videoplay on MTV.e.Garage Days fea-tures five cover songs done in six

Lakers End SkidBy Mycal C. CaseyMerciad staff writerThe Mercy hurst Lakers endedtheir.slump Monday night byshocking the favored j CheyneyWolves, 88-70. The win was badlyneeded, since the* Lakers haddropped five or their last six games,and had been pounded last Saturdayby 33 points at the hands of Buffalo., ;yiThe Lakers were (able to playwith intensity, which is somethingthat jhas been lacking from theirgame recently. Cheyney got the firstbucket of the night, but Mercyhurst

took charge quickly. Todd Lee ledthe hill toppers* as they roared toearly leads of 19-9 and j 24-14against a Cheyney team that justcouldn't quite seem to get it to-gether.After the two battled to ahalf ime knot at 41-41, the Lakersthe first 10 points of thesecond half and never looked back.Cheyney was held without a basketfor nearly six minutes atone point asthe'Hurst broke out to a 71-54 lead,which later reached 84-62, the larg-est gap of the night *Cheyney helped the Laker causeby sending several of the blue andgreen netters to the sin stripethroughout the contest The Lakerswere able to make good on 25 of 31free throw attempts. The clutch foulshooting down the stretch is whatkept the Lakers in fron t.Lee ledall Laker scorers with 19counters, despite playing only 22minutes because of foul trouble.The Lakers dominated the boardgame all night, and when all Va ssaid and done, owned a 50-30 edgein that departmentLaker1 coach Billy Kalbaughwaspleased after the win. In evalu-ating his team 's performance, Kal-baugh commented, *'I think theymade a decision to be a good basket-ball team. For thefirst ime hisyearwe got contributions from all fivespots.44 Earl Moncrieffe really tookoverout there,but it wasa total teameffort The bench gave us a real liftand wefinallyshot well. The play-ers are pretty happy right now , butthey feel we could have been doingthis all year."Hopefully, tonight will be aspringboard to a good second halfof the season. The team has thefeeling they can do this again Fridayagainst Adelphi."

As mentioned earlier, the Lak-ers also played Saturday and lost88-55 to Buffalo. There's not muchmore to say.i On Jan. 7, the Lakers openedtheir MCC season against the PaceSetters. The blue and green werelooking to get off to agood start, thisbeing their $firstseason in leagueplay. But things did not work out sowell for them.

Pace, after losing to Gannonearlier, dropped Mercyhurst 83-73.It was the Lakers first game comingoff of Christmas break. The Lakerslooked as flat as the ice on Presque-Islc bay, and were as cold j! as thenorth winds coming across i t

An unbelievablyfrigid29 of 92from the field, and it isn't toohard tofigure out why the Lakers came upon the losing end in this one. TheLakers were also outhustled on theboards, with Pace holding a 61-46edge off the glass.The 'Hurst found themselvesplaying catch-up to the Setters allnight, trailing by as much as 19-5early. The Lakers kept coming backat Pace, however, closing the gap to39-36 at halftime.Mercyhurst had one lead in thesecond half when Todd Lee con-nected on a three-pointer and ChrisMindach drove the lane and added afree throw for a 51 -48 Laker advan-tage. But the Setters put togetheranother run, this time it was 15-2and never looked back.The Lakers closed the gap to 77-71 late in the game, but could pull nocloser to the New Yorkers."The 19-day layoff is a conven-ient excuse, but no reason to playthis poorly. We only had 12 turn-overs, but the overall flow stopped.When we didn't convert early, wegot rustrated and you can * t do thatThe Lakers are hoping they canput their troubled past behind themand perform as the did againstCheyney for the rest of the cam-paign. Adelphi will be a tough andchallenging contest for the Lakers.If they can win against the Panthers,they may have finally shaken themonkey that's been on their backsall season long;'
