Electionss Time ToHit TheThe Fall Mercyhurst Student Government elections will takeplace next Tuesday, November 2, and Wednesday, November 3.The ballot for this election is smaller than the Spring Term elec-tion, but the importance of the positions available must be

stressed.The freshmen class will elect three freshman representativesnext week. This race is significant because these individuals wh oare selected will be responsible for representing all members ofthe class of 1987, when issues are raised pertaining to them , andMercyhurst students in general. Freshmen should* take the in-itiative to learn who is running for their representatives andwhether or not they are qualified to be in student government.Six major representatives will also be chosen in the upcomingelections. The majors are as follows: Biology, Dance, FashionMerchandising-Interior Design, Nursing, Dietetics andSecretarial Management.In these races, only students enrolled in those particular ma-jors are eligible to vote. Every'single student in those majorsshould vote because questions are often raised in governmentwhich directly relate to certain majors.Voters should be aware of the right to choose and elect thecandidates of their choice. It is of utmost importance to keep inmind leadership skills, motivation levels, experience, talent anddedication, w hen making selections. Spaces will also be providedon the ballot sheets for write-in contenders.Students should pay attention to the campaigns, ask questionsof those candidates who may represent their class or major, andmost important of all ... vote.

Dear Editor,I would like to publicly expressmy dissatisfaction with the pre-sent Homecoming situation. As aMercyhurst alumnus, I was eager-ly anticipating the opportunity toreturn to the 'H urst to see old ac-quaintances and visit the surroun-dings in which the best years ofmy life were spent. However,notification . of Homecomingevents arrived on October 21, onlyeight days before the proceedings.Along with the notification wasan RSVP which was to be return-ed by October 21, so plans couldbe made accordingly.'Even withan immediate response, at currentU.S. mail schedules, the earliestthe RSVP would arrive back atMercyhurst would be October 24,three days iate. w rThis year,.due to unforeseen

circumstances, I will be unable toattend Homecoming proceedings,but that is not the point. Thepoint is that plans and an-nouncements should be publicizedsooner, so that- the alumni canplan accordingly. An importantevent such as Homecomingshould be something thateveryone$ist$nformed of well inadvance so that plans can be madeand schedules adjusted.The program for Homecoming1983 seems to be a very good oneand I am sure I would have en-joyed it. Hopefully som ething canbe done so that the alumni will beinformed ofJ eventsk with morethan a week's notice, andHomecoming 1984 will receive abigger and better response.Sincerely yours ,Jack Bour

The LegendThat Was'Marilyn9By Laura Ruby'. . . And it seems to me thatyou lived your life like a candle inthe wind, never knowing who tocling to when the rain set in. And Iwould have liked to have knownyou, but I was just a kid. Yourcandle burnedout long beforeyour legend ever did . . . "Can-dle In The Wind," Elton John,Goodbye Y ellow Brick Road.What is the purpose of alegend? Let me: rephrase,' thatquestion. What should be the pur-pose of a. legend? A legend is astory, handed down for genera-tions, believed to have popularityand value. A legend can be a per1s o n . " W h e n s p e a k i n g o fHollywood "superstars," for themost part, i; legends are notverifiable / but a way 40 make

money. The legend of MarilynMonroe is a perfect example of anunethical way to make a profit.*Her real name was Norma JeanBaker. Her famed name - MarilynMonroe. In her 36 years of fife,she captivated millions of people.Today, 21 years later, the ra-diance ' of her memory still ex-plodes r ight out o f he rphotographs. 1She left behind a mysteriousaura: one of enchantment. Them o r e y o u g a z e a t h e rphotographs, the more force theyseem to have. There is a tremen-dous brilliance in her memory, yetit seems to radiate some sort ofpeace fulness that cannot beunderstood. But you need notunderstand to appreciate. 1.Many biographies have beenwritten about\ Marilyn Monroe.Having read quite a few of these,they seem to represent society'sopinion of what a life should be.There is a definite perplexity inthe history of Marilyn Monroe,yet many of her biographies claimto know exactly what she was like.They speak of her in sorrow withthe use of negative^erms. She was"difficult** and "distrustful".She is equivalated with words likepathology and paranoia. M ost ar-ticles seem to suggest the onlytiling she could be was a "sex-symbol,' ' when she wasn't a drugaddict. There are so many con-trary opinions about her life. The

mess of contradictions make it im-possible jto sort truth fromfalsehood. IA 3 legend such as MarilynMonroe's shouldn't deal in ap-proval op disapproval. If it cantbe appreciated, it should at leastbe respected. Why* instead ofcherishing memories, do peopledegrade and distort them?In the case of Marilyn Monroe,before and after her death, themedia transformed her from aperson into an object. She wasmore than an object. She wasmore than glamorous. She didn'thave an effect on people / she wasthe effect. Imagine how it wouldbe-to have no privacy in your lifeand having to learn how to bealone and watched without know-ing. Yet the fact that?her lifebelonged to others, had no effecton the artistic grace that trulybelonged to her. ^ ^ ^ ^The "goddess of photography"was many times called insane. Hersmile was said to be a lie / or herown version of loneliness. Despitethe derogatory adjectives manyhave attributed I to her, MarilynMonroe had a power no one couldever imitate. H er poised face, herflaring eyes, and her child-like ap-pearance are still alive today. Inthe words of writer David Thom-son, "maybe in death she couldonly enjoy life. S he could exist infame without fear.". . . Goodbye Norma Jean,from the man in the 22nd-rowwho sees you as something morethan sexual, more than -just ourMarilyn Monroe . . .

By Karen MerkleI don't really know what we ex-pected; as members of 'Hurst'sTV crew*we only knew that wewere excited at the prospect oftaping a> football game inWashington, D.C. But I think wewere also more than a little waryof spending almost 24 hours sur-rounded by people with hearingproblems.Perhaps we expected to feel un-comfortable around them,;or topity them. Whatever it was we an-ticipated, it never occurred. Wefound there, intelligent, friendlypeople; people who have learnedto cope admirably with a tremen-dous disadvantage, and who havea lot to share with others..For one too-short day, we hadthe pleasure of being guests on theGallaudet College campus in theheart of Washington, D.C . It is anexperience I would wish foreveryone.* From our first excur-sion away from the Mercyhurstvan until our last look back attheir beautiful autumn-tintedcampus, I( think all of us en-countered something very special.Although we arrived on campus(where we would be. staying in adorm) late Friday afternoon, ourGallaudet adventure didn't trulybegin until later.? It was then, atabout midnight, that four of mycompanions and I ventured intothe Gallaudet Student Union - amoment that I'll never forget.I Here, among the flashing lightsand the pulsating music from thejukebox., th e movements ofdozens of pairs of hands / someflittering quickly and furiously,some speaking more slowly andconversationally - seemed to bringthe entire room to life. Andalthough we may have felt out ofplace, it was not the fault of ourhosts. We all finally realized whatit was like to be handicapped./because-none of us knew signlanguage, j. IFor an incredible hour, we satthere, talking amongst ourselves,but actually watching, and listen-ing to, what was going on around

us. At the tables near ours,various conversations were takingplace, some of them seeminglyserious, others more upbeat.There was an argument betweentwo young men, after which oneof them stormed out. And a fewpeople were even dancing; wat-ching them, I found myself con-sciously feeling for the vibrationsof the music through the table tounderstand how they reacted tothe music. All of this activity, butonly a few words were spoken.We did try to communicatewith some of the students. Theywere extremely friendly, andseemed eager to talk to u s, but toooften the differences in ourlanguages i prevented extendedconversation. These encountersmade our visit even moreenlightening / and even morefrustrating. *By Saturday afternoon, th escore of a football game was nolonger a priority; in *fact, it

Ghost HuntingAt The 'HurstBy Chuck StraubThroughout the years that Ihave been associated, with Mer-cyhurst College, 1 have heard

many of the stories and legendsabout jthe college and in par-ticular, the stories involving theChapel. My favorites are the storyof the ring on the statue of the in-fant of Prague, and the legend ofthe tombs in the Queen's Chapel.(See editor's note).I had been pondering over whatI could do for Halloween thisyear, and when Kevin Armstrongapproached me with the idea ofspending the night in the"haunted" Chapel, you could say1 jumped at the opportunity. Toprepare? mys el f for ou r"Ohosthunting" expedition, I didsome research into the history ofthe Chapel and the legends. GaryBukowski of the Alumni Officeand Sister Elizabeth from theCampus Ministry, proved to bevery * helpful in giving mebackground material on thelegends.I also looked into what profes-sional psychic researchers dowhen they are investigating a* 'haunting*'. fUnfortunately, theonly equipment available for ourexpedition was sound recordingequipment loaned to us by theCampus Radio Station WMCY.With preparations complete,Kevin and I entered the Chapel at10 p.m. on M onday, October 24,armed with flashlights, taperecorder, candles, sandwiches, a 2liter bottle of Coke, and 2 Super-man sleeping bags. Kevin alsobrought his marketing, books tostudy for a test while 1 spent thetime reading "Christine" byStephen King. In the: dark, withonly the) altar area lighted, theChapel is a very spooky place. It iseasy to see how a ghost storycould get started in ah atmospherelike that.

pokinga |shorton ourthe ap-After exploring andaround the Chapel forwhile, we settled downsleeping bags to awaitpearance of * any "spirits" thatdecided to wander our way. Kevinsaid that the only *spirits wewanted to see are the kind thatcome in a bottle! (I personally washoping for the other kind ofspirit, but then again, I havealways been somewhat foolish!)All was quiet until 11 p.m.,when we were greeted *by poun-ding on the outside doors of theChapel. Apparently, someone hadfound out about our plans anddecided to try and scare us. Well,it didn't work. It only took Kevinabout a half-hour to get me downfrom the'rafters! After this inci-

dent, we sat awaiting the arrivalof the witching hour. At approx-imately 11:59 p.m., a ticking noisecame*from the-;direction of theQueen's Chapel. I quickly pointedout to Kevin that the noise wascoming from the direction of anair vent, but Kevin was not quiteso confident. Kevin then askedwhat time it * was, and just as Istarted to reply, {the tower bellsrang, informing us of the arrivalof the new day.;The next 4 hours passedwithout incident, and the quiet ofthe night was broken only by thenoises of the wind and the othervaried building n oises.At about 4 a.m., Kevin and Idecided that if anything was goingto happen, it would have occurredby then. We proceeded to pack upour equipment, and left theChapel in order to get a few hourssleep prior to our morning classes.Thus ended our ghost-huntingadventure. It was kinda fun, kin-

Counselor Starts ,Second Term On Campus

.I* m

By Chris ChmielewskiMERCI AD Staff ReporterA lot of people might not knowit, but Mercyhurst has a part-timemental health counselor./ oncampus. ;-Dr. Warren Hohwald arrivedon campus last spring, but notvery f many students know of hisexistence. As a result, theFreshmen Studies office is tryingto make students aware of his ser-vice. Robert iPagni, Director ofFreshmen Studies, said that thefaculty and staff have been "in-formed so that they-can directstudents to Dr. Hohwald. "We'restill trying to discover a way todirectly make the students awareof his services so that they can beutilized/' Pagni said.He explained that Dr. Hohwaldis quite experienced as a collegecounselor and, "we hope his ser-vices will be utilized." Dr.

Hohwald has worked at OhioState University for seven years asa college counselor and likewise atBehrend State College. He hasalso worked in private practice for20 years.Dr. Hohwald said that he hasspent so many years working withcoliege"'students because "collegestudents have the capacity tochange and grow. They are not setin their ways yet and are morereceptive to , counseling." Dr.Hohwald said that he enjoysworking at Mercyhurst becausethe students and faculty are par-ticularly friendly.Hohwald explained that eventhough the counseling service ishandled through the FreshmenStudies Office, the service is notlimited to freshmen. Sophomoresgoing through a "slump" andjuniors and seniors who are tryingto determine what to do after

Dr. Warren Hohwaldgraduation, are also encouragedto discuss problems with Dr.Hohwald.Students interested in thecounseling service can visit Dr.Hohwald, Wednesdays' from 2-5p.m. and Thursdays, from 5-9p.m. His office is located acrossfrom the Campus Ministry on se-cond floor Old Main. To sign upfor an appointment, a student cango through the Freshmen StudiesOffice, or simply cross off a blockof time on the schedule postedoutside Hohwald's office. Hiscounseling sessions are 40 minuteslong and are free of charge.Tots Taught At'Hurst DayCare Center

MERCIAD Sports ReporterAs of this year, the MercyhurstC o l l e g e W o m e n' s t e nn i s ,volleyball, basketball and softballteams have J bowed out ijof theWomen's Keystone Conference.The WKC is comprised of analliance of eight teams: Behrend,Allegheny, Grove City, VillaMaria, Westminster, Geneva,Thiel and, formerly, Mercyhurst.After four years of planning,revising and red tape, the WKCwas brought into being in Marchof 1975. It started out as club com-petition, then progressed to inter-collegiate competition i between-four private J schools: Behrend,Villa Maria, Gannon andMercyhurst.It was a no-scholarship pro-gram, therefore, teams were on amore equal footing. In 1976,however, Gannon was taken outof the Conference because it beganscholarship awards and GenevaCollege was added in its place.There are many reasons behindthe 'Hurst's leaving. The mainreasonr was that there was notenough time to fit all the games into get a bid for regional play-offsin Division II.In the Conference, the teamswere scheduled for 14 games each,and, in order for a bid inregionals, they needed between ISand 20 more, including matchesagainst Divisional schools. Thiscan be quite a grueling andphysically demanding season, asboth coaches and players foundout. \Due to thi s demandingschedule, the question was thenasked, "Why couldn't the numberof games being played in the WKCbe lowered to one per team, leav-ing more time for Division II com-petition?" Caught again, becauseof a rule in the Conference1982-83 bylaws, each team had toplay one another twice.

The Miller representativehanded out brochures on PhilipMorris Inc., Miller's parent com-pany, which explained theirvarious products, which includeLowenbrau beer, Marlborocigarettes and Seven-Up.

ing plant. The 'HRM studentswere shown the actual brewingprocess in progress from thebarley! hoppers, through thefermentation area, to the actualbottling, packaging and distribu-tion warehouses. Each leg of thefour section tour was led by aworker from each department.The tour guides explained the pro-cess, their own ^managementneeds, and trivia. It takes approx-imately 55 seconds to fill a keg,and the brewery fills 2,000 a day.A new machine can fill 200 bottlesin a minute and they use enoughwater in a day to fill New York'sneeds for three days. Overall, ju stseeing rows and rows of beer linedup din the warehouse was an ex-perience in itself*The tour lasted over two hoursand Miller hospitably servedlunch in their cafeteria - steaks.
