As freshmen, we all anticipate the newxperience of going to college. For many, its the first time to experience new surround-ngs and begin making new friends. Thenewnment is a welcomed change from thelife of a hometown. For some, it iser pace; to o thers, it is a severe right turnthe big city life. With all these new hap-realizes it will only happen thefall term they enter into college. Afterthey are something to be accustomed to.

SJ The former A lliance College was situatedin Cambridge Springs, approximately 30miles south of Erie. O ne of the main reasonsfor closing the school was because of its lackof success in recruiting efforts. Alliance wasfaced with decreasing enrollment, which ledto the inevitable. A no her primary reason wasbecause Alliance was dealing with i someproblems with accredidation. They had nochoice but to close the college.

This yearpeople that \view.With the closing of Alliance College inSpring 1987, all the students who attendedthere were faced with choosing a new collegeto attend. Whatthey had chosen as the perfectcollege for them ended with a halt, and for 10former Alliance students, M ercy hurst seemedto be the right place to continue their educa-

tion.

-; Lisa Slomski, a senior Accounting major,chose Mercyhurst for various reasons. Lisa isoriginally from Erie, so she wanted to stayclose to home. She feels, along with many ofthe Alliance transfers, that the major differ-ence between Mercyhurst and Alliance is thesize. *'There are a lot more opportunities atMercyhurst," Lisa said. The class size islarger at Mercyhurst than at Alliance, whichcan have benefits and drawbacks. AtAllianceeveryone knew everyone, because of thesmall community. Mercyhurst is bigger, butpeople arefriendly,and you don't have to bepopular to know someone.

Influenza AdviceLike the common cold, influ-enza, orflu, isa viral infection of theupper respiratory tract Colds andflu have some symptoms in com-mon-headache, fever, cough andlethargy - and both usually clear upwithin a week or two. But flu is anentirely different illness. It's moreserious, more epidemic, more likelyto cause significant - sometimesfatal - complications, and muchmore likely to debilitate you .|There are three types off flu,designated A , B, andC. Influenza Ais by far the most serious - it hascaused death in -epidemics. Influ-enza B is less serious and morecoldlike. Influenza Cmay feel like amild cold.Flu appears to be passed largelyby hand-to-hand contact, thoughdoctorssay thatmany cases of trans-mission from inhalation of virus-laden cough and sneeze dropletshave been documented. A typical case of influenza A ismarked by sudden onset of highfever, headache, severe muscleaches, chills, loss of appetite and

debilitating weakness, often neces-sitating bed rest for up to one week.Other common symptoms include adry hacking cough, nausea, diar-rhea, vomiting and chest pain.The prescription drug amanta-dine (Symmetrel) effectively pre-vents influenza A. If you learn fromnews media reports that this type offlu has been identified Jin yourcommunity, ask your physician forthis drug - it's safe, even for mostchildren.A flu shotis the other alternativefor. influenza A prevention. TheU.S. Public Health Service recom-mends vaccination every autumnfbripeople over 65 and for thosewith chronic illnesses. The vaccineis considered safe, except for thosewith serious allergies to eggs (thevaccine medium). Pregnant womenare advised to delay vaccinationuntil after the first trimester. Ifyoucan'tget Symmetrel, or ifyoutfflu is type B or C, physiciansadvise the same remedies they rec-ommend for the cold. Be sure todrink plenty of fluids for fever.

Two 'Hurst Students Make The GradBy Joe BankovkhMerciad staff reporter

Two Mercyhurst students arenow certified to practice crime pre-vention on a college campus, thusbecoming the first students ever toachieve such a status. Kevin Goodeand Erin Loringer-Gallagher, bothsenior Criminal Justice majors hereat M ercyhurst College, attended aclass on crime prevention at theDays Inn in MeadvuTe, Pa. back inSeptember of this year.The class was presented by thePennsylvania Commission onCrime and Delinquency and theNorthwestern Pennsylvania Asso-ciation of I Police Chiefs. BothGoode and Gallagher agreed that itwas a very unique and rewardingexperience for them. |' * It was a great learning experi-ence,' said Goode.

Classes were heldfrom Sep. 21to 25 for six-and-a-half hours a day.Each class consisted of lectures bydifferent police officers or officialswho specialized in feach specificarea of crime preventionsH jj *I thought that by changing theperson giving the lecture each day,it made the lectures more interest-ing,' Goode said. %"All aspects of crime in thedifferent age groups were coveredin depth,'' Gallagher added. - Goode and Gallagher were theonly college students in attendanceatthis class. Everyone else were lawenforcement officials, which putsome pressure^ on the pair fromMercyhurst' '(Having law enforcement of-ficial s there) made it seem tougherfor me," Goode said.

this lack of funding. We, judgingon the past three or four|years,decided to lower theamount budg-eted for tutorial services,*' h e said.The second factor is the tremen-dous increase in the number "ofpeople using tutorial service thisyear. "Many of these students areusing this service improperly andusing the tutor as a replacement forclass rather than a supplement toclass," Pagni noted. |Pagni said that he's receivedsome reports from various profes-sors informing him that several ofthe students taking tutorials fromthe service have cut as many as 10classes. So the Freshman StudiesOffice has toughened up by drop-ping the service if a student cutsclasses or misses a tutorial meeting."What we're trying to do isreward those who are thinkingahead, and using the service prop-erly, and we're eliminating thosewho wait until midterm or who justwant to use the service instead of L ^ ^ _going to class,'' Pagni said.See "Tutorial11 next pageMISTER BOFFO

A look at those taboo subjectsmightbe in order. First, few campusefforts seem to be aimed at promot-ing the most obvious and effectivemeasure to slow down the AIDSepidemic - abstinence. Yet, as Sur-geon General C. Everett Koop hasindicated time and time again, absti-nence is the only foolproof way toavoid this disease. Are we to assumethat highly educated young Ameri-cans are so enslaved by their pas-sions that they are unable to limittheir number of partners or sexualactivities - even if failing to do sorisks death? \i Actually, much research showsthat many students do abstain orestablish a mutually faithful rela-tionship w ith marriage as the long-term goal. Why the hesitancy tobuild on these healthy tendencies,particularly when the issue is life ordeath? * JSecond, many of today's eductional efforts are what could becalled "sex ually eg alitarian."

appear to prefer one type of sexualpractice over another. Yet medicalresearch shows that sodomy isprobably the most efficient methodused to transfer the AIDS virus aswell as other diseases - for obviousreasons.Why is this information cen-sored on so many campuses?,Doesit illustrate the growing power ofgayjrights activists who not onlywant to be tolerated, but want theculture at large to affirm and supportthe legitimacy of the gay life-style?In fact, on many campuses stu-dents are surprised to find that noone is willing to assert and defendthe moral and religious norms theylearned from their families andchurches. Even though homosexualbehavior, if embraced by a sizableproportion of the population,wouldresult in a dying civilization in ageneration or so, it is taboo, to d e-scribe, thisibehavior 'a s. sociallyundesirable, unnatural or deviantAs a result students are denied thebest medical "advice available *-

which is to avoid dangerous sexualactivities associated primarily, butnot exclusively, with the gay com-munity.Writing in National Reviewmagazine, Jeffrey Hart recently al-luded to what in literature is calledthe \' presence of the absence/' Justas the dog that didn't bark helpedSherlock Holmes once solve a case,what is absent in the safe-sex cam-paign maybe telling us an importantbitof information about the culturalatmosphere on many campuses.
