Thenew phone system was implementedover the summer due primarily to the effortsof Sister Mary Mark Doubet, director ofresearch. * 'It took just short of a year,' * saidDoubet ifAccording to Doubet, the-changeoverincluded rewiring all the buildings and dou-bling the phone capacity. There hasn't beenmuch negative response from students."They've been pretty patient, and they'vecalled me. When there's trouble, we try totrack it down ,' * she said. "I would say probably the biggest prob-lem with what they do is they don't listen onthe phone while they dial," Doubet added.By just listening, the phone will let the lis-tenerknow whether they * ve dialed correctly.Each telephone was authorized its own

long distance code num ber,and each studentwill get his long distance bill through StudentAccounts. When phone calls are made froma student's apartment or dormitory room,they are recorded by the phone system. "W ecan track where the phone call was madefrom," said Dou bet "However, to protecteverybody - the college included - in thecontract, we said the group (of residents) isresponsible for calls made on 4heir phones."One of the innovations that comes withthe new phone system is "vo ice mail." Thisallows phones to take messages, where for-merly, calls would be put through to a secre-tary to take the message. "Now that we havevoice mail, the faculty w ould prefer to haveit go to voice mail," said DoubetThe vote isn't in yet, but the feedbackseems positive. "As far as I'm concerned,"said Doubet, "it's one of those rare situ*ations where everybody wins.''

Hockey rink winning parking battleBy Angela M. CampMerciad News Editor

Construction o f the new hockeyrinkon theparking lot behind Baldwin Hall and the Mercyapartments commenced in June, after a Boardof Trustees meeting on June 20.''The original plan was to build the rink asan additionto he rec center," said Dave Murphy,president of the M ercyhurst Student Govern-ment (MSG). According to M urphy, the changewas made because the ground behind the reccenter is fresh fill and needs time to settle. *"We decided to create a 200 foot rink,which is the size of the Civic Center or theplayoff size - that's the desirable size for acollege,*' said Dr. William P. Garvey, presi-dent of Mercyhurst College. G arvey said thatputting a rink of that size in the rec center areawould not only call for expensive filling butmay evenriskcracks in the northern end of thebuilding, if and when the ground settled andshifted.As a result, the site for thenew hockey rinkwas changed to the parking lo t behind the girls'dormitory. "That area;was very firm. It's agreat site because it's near the playing fieldsand half of that parking lot was never used,''said Garvey.According to Garvey, there were four thingsthat caused the parking shortage this'yean theconstruction of the hockey rink, a record en -rollment, a record housing enrollment andMCCI's moving from up the hill to havingclasses in McAuley Hall."We have people parking anyplace it'savailable and, of course, I've instructed mystaffnot to ticket these cars-give them warningsif necessary-but until w e find adequate park-ing, we're going to play it by ear in regards toticketing cars," said Bud} Dever, director ofsecurity.According to Dever, Dr. Garvey, the con-

C ons t r uc t i on of h o ck ey rink is under way in the parking lot behind Baldwin Hall.tractors and h imself have looked at additionalparking behind the Briggs apartments. "Wedecided to m ove the parking to the center andeastern end of cam pus," said Garvey. He saidthat the campus is skewed to the east so thewestern lots were not being used. "We'veexpanded the McAuley lot, and,next weekwe're going to begin to construct another 75spots behind Briggs," he said.An average of 50 to 75 parking spots havebeen lost with the construction of the hockeyrink. However, 15 new parking spots wereadded behind Baldwin Hall; and with the re-moval of the work trucks, 35 spots will openup by the rink. Also, Briggs Avenue residentswill soon beable to take advantage of 7 5 newparking spo ts geared to the residents. "Thatway, when that 75 are done and the construc-tion is done, we'll have 125 new spots, sothere won't bea parking problem-the parkingproblem will be dead by early to middleOctober," said Garvey."The rink is going to make a dramaticdifference for the hockey players," said Gar-^

vey.?* They will have a place to practiceeveryday, they'll be able to lead a normal lifein terms of studying, and they won* t be on theroad 27 games a year,.""Having the hockey rink will definitelyalleviate wear and tear onithe bodies andminds of the players by having more homegames," said M urphy. "Itwill alleviateprob-lems with going to the Civic Center and willalso bring larger crowd s.''Students other than hockey playerswillbenefit from the new rink as well., The rinkwill be open for recreational ice skating by theMercyhurst community, intramural hockeyand a possible girls* hockey team. In out-of-season months, the hockey rink can be usedfor dances, concerts, banquets, other socialevents and possibly graduations. "We're go ingto have very limited rental to the outside,"said Garvey. "We prefer this building to beused essentially by Mercyhurst," he said2"The only thing that we won't have willbe a swimming pool," said Garvey. "Andsomeday somebody will do that," he said.On Page 4Cartoon features On Page 6 c>'19th Century9 dinosaur

Have you ever consideredcommitting suicide? I have. Lastyear atabout this same time, I helda bottle of pills in my hand andenvisioned myself swallowing thepills that would end my existence.Why? I felt guilty, confused andashamed. Yo u see, I didn't realizeit at the time, but I wa s a victim.Last summer I had a romancewith a handsome young man. Igrew very fond of him, but unfor-tunately he didn't seem to feel asstrongly toward m e. -Anyway, af-ter classe s started in the fall, I wentto a party where I knew he wouldbe. I became very intoxicated in ashort amount of time and before Irealized whatI was do ing, I agreedto go to another party at my boy-friend's apartment Hisbest friend/roommate volunteered to g ive m earide o the party. j

Well, when I got to my boy-friend's apartment, no one was there.I hadbeen tricked. I was alone withmy boyfriend's roommate who atthe time played the role of trustedfriend and confidante. That nightall trust was broken as I became avictim of date rape.It took me about eight monthsto come to terms with that nigh t I

I kept the deep dark secret to my-self. Then, one night, I was sittingamong friends when the topic ofsex came up. To my surprise, fiveof the six gir ls sitting in that roomadmitted to being victims of daterape. They were friends and yet,like myself, they were too embar-rassed and ashamed to talkabout itDate rape occurs on every c ol-lege campus, even at MercyhursL Idon't think it occurs as often as onother campuses, but it does occur.Don't fool yourself into thinkingotherwise. For yo u reshmangirlswho are entering/the college at-mosphere for the j first time, takeprecautions. Don't leave a party byyourself, stay with your riendsandlookout for one another. Also, don'tleave a party with a guy you've just

like this could never happen to you,but trust me, it does happen. I usedto say the same thing.IFor the guys out there who arereading this remember: if a girl says"no," it's rape. I don't care if youthink she led you on or notWhen I told my boyfriend whathappened between h is best friendand I, he was angry with me. Hesaid, "Lance was drunk and youknow how guys are.' *$;I don't buy it If intercourseisn't the result of two persons'conse nt it's rape.For those of you who are vic-

tims and suffer in silence, you'renot alone. I think you would findthat a high percentage of the femalepopulation suffers with you. Takenote and don't becom e a statistic.H I # i

There have been \ a lot ofchanges to Mercyhurst since w estudents went away for summerbreak. The Governor's Schoolof The Arts has come and gone.The fMcAuley Division!NorthEastbranch has opened its doorsto students. A new phone sys-tern has been implemented andthe inevitable, a hock ey arena, is under construction.Yes, the age of progress continues to engulf the campus ofMercyhurst College. I have but one question... Where the hell arepeople supposed to park?I am all foranew hockey rink. After weighing the pros and cons,I fed a new facility is in thebest interest of the future of Mercy hurstBut, never in those proposed plans did I hear the idea of eliminatingapproximately 130parking spots fora hockey rink.Whose ideawa sit to build a facility there? PLast spring I sat and listened as MSG passed the proposal toincrease the student building assessment fee. That proposal statedthat the new hockey arena would be built at the Recreation Centerlocation. That was the agreement passed.It was never proposed to build the new facility on the Baldwin Hallparking lo t IThere are currently 646 available parking spaces on campus.There are approximately 987 students living on campus and that'snot counting commuters. So far, S82 parking permits have beenissued to students by security. Of those possible parking spaces,faculty and administrative lots occupy 95 spaces.So , back to my question...Where do people park? Why did thehockey facility have to b e built on a parking lot? Couldn't it havebeen built on the corner of the practice field? Wouldn't that havebeen easier than breaking through all of that asphalt?% I fed the location of the needed hockey rink was poorly planned.Now we have a Campus Center, Recreation Center, Student Unionand Hockey Arena with no access to parking. What good arebuildings that are not easily accessible? Also, the hockey rink,which will be used by maybe one third of the students, replaces aparking lot that was used by commuters, residents and parents.

In a letter sent to neighbors of Mercyhurst College, Dr. Garveystated that a new parking lot was being bu ilt behind Mc Auley Hall.We ll, that parking lotonly holds 151 parking spots and out of those,seven are reserved for cafeteria workers and 74 are reserved forMc Auley residents. The letter states that the new parking lot willeliminate some of the traffic for upper Parade Street residents. I begtodiffer. Have you looked at the parking situation on Parade lately.Take it from m e, it's n ot pretty. . -The bottom line is that the student body has lost the use of 74parking spaces in all. (Thanks to the sacrifice of a basketball courtbehind Mc Auley Hall which provided another 20 spaces.)The new hockey facility is supposed to hold about 1500 people.Where are these people going to park? According to theletter, theywill park in the new McAuley lo t That should be interesting. Myguess is that many of the visitors attending a game at the CampusCenter or new hocke y rink will park on Parade StreetWhile I'm not'happy about the site of the hockey rink, I cannotargue with a concrete building. Perhaps that's why it was con-structed over the summer. Butthe parking issue is a serious one thatI feel must be addressed, and soon. M aybe 'Mercyworld'* willhave to invest in a shuttle service or tram to fill the needs of student

parking. "Next stop is parking areas Goofy and Pluto.

(especially if you lived in a bad neighbor-hood and you just happened to have a loaded gun handy) *At any rate, the judge said that it was an inappropriate hour inthe morning to serve a warrant.

And another thing,don't drink wine and beer at the same time. Upperclassmen just gettoo m iffed when freshmen vomit in their apartments, hallways, oreven their bedrooms.

bootlegs to sell to all the die-hard fans who own all the materialalready and are willing to pay another $70 for the three minute songthat was written during a state of pseudo-nirvana, and digitallyremastered to emphasize all the mistakes further. After 17 years,Rush has managed to avoid this type of financial life preservationand continue to sail forward.After a two year hiatus, 1989 found Rush back in the studio withproducer R upert Hine and the result was Presto , the most refreshingrelease rom he Toronto trio since Grace Under Pressure (1984).Presto also marked the beginning of a new record contract withAtlantic in the United States. In order to fulfill its final contractualagreement with Mercury records, Rush released Chronicles (1 990) ,its first greatest hits collection covering its six teen-record career, jNow , seventeen years after its independent debut record, Rushfinds itself continuing to improve and enhance its sound on itsfourteenth studio album Roll The Bones. The album is once againproduced by Rupert Hine and Rush and displays the wonders oftechnology in today's music. The irstsingle, "Dreamline" has thesame edge that "Show Don't Tell" did on the previous effort,which rekindles the solid riff structure dominating Rush's musicthrough the late 70's."Where's My Thing? (Part IV, 'Gangster Of Boats' Trilogy)"is the first instrumental to appear on an album since MovingPictures (1981). Like "Y YZ" (198 1) and "La Villa Strangiato"(1978) before it, "Where's My Thing?" displays the musical andtechnical excellence of a band that endlessly strives for perfectionand never feels like it has reached i tThe title trade contains, believe this if you can, somewhat of arap. Seriously. The thought may seem as odd as having Eddie Van

Halen play on a Michael Jackson record, but both worked success-fully, jj 9iThe most noticeable difference that Roll The Bones has to offeris the continuing improvement of Geddy Lee's voice (did this guyactually sin g' Tem ples Of Syrinx''?). Bones also boasts the studiovocal debut for guitarist Alex Lifeson. Lifeson has been singingduring their live performances since the Power Windows (1985)tour, but has yet to receive any credit for a studio effort Along withRupert Hine's singing efforts, Rush's sound has a vocal dimensionthat has never been as dominant, or as tolerantAs your average 90's band backbones their sound with a stickor an electronic drum machine (person*Mtwirling peroxide thumality equilibrium hypothesis may exist here), percussionist NeilPeart provides drum fanatics with forty-five more minutes ofcomplex rhythms and a combination of acoustic and electronicpercussion that places him in a league of his own. The album lyricscontinues Peart's social consciousness of both politics and thelescence, the latter being very dominant on Prestolltanguish ofand again on this effort j&The lyrical and musical youthfulness previously missing inRush's music for a number of years before[reappearing on Prestoemerges once more on Rofl Th e Bonea. The evidence is clear thatRush is in the studio again because of the enjoyment of playing,writing, learning and improving, and not for the feet that they canbe self-indulgent with endless collections of works that they haddone over a decade ago.

Iddings takes final bowBy Laura BlabacAssistant Entertainment Editor

\As I sit here at my desk on abreezy Sunday afternoon, I am facedwith the inevitable and difficulttask of creating the perfect article.The one that will uniquely sum upand do justice to the late Paul Id-dings.In search of a little inspiration,I walked over and sat in the theater.Looking around-at the spaciousand empty room, a quiet feelingsettled over me. What better placeto think of Paul Iddings, a man ofthe theater. Reviving my senses, Ionce again focused on my duty.A difficult task indeed, I surmised,as I hardly knew the man. My oneencounter with h im happened earlyin my freshman year* Being lostamongst the then-confusing hall ofthe Little Theater, a voice called forme to approach a half closed door.Peeking in, I saw a man sitting in awheelchair. He asked me if I likedto watch movies, and what was Ictoing next Tuesday? He then handedme an envelope with a ticket to amovie preview, saying he wouldn'thave time to go himself. |Aston-ished, I accepted it He proceededto ask my name, my major, and didI like theater? After a brief chat, hetold me how to get out of the thea-ter. Outside of congratulating himon The Crucible, it was the onlytime I ever spoke to him. %For those who do not knowwho Paul Iddings was, I will do mybest to describe him.Paul C. Iddings, a native of

Roanoke, Virginia was born July18, 1934. He graduated from Vir-ginia Commonwealth University,

Iddings and Choreographer June Hinefromearning his master's degree in FineArts at Catholic University ofAmerica. He became part of theMercyhurst College staff in 1971,directing and acting in such playsas Who's Afraid of VirginiaWoolf?, Equus, and Cat on a HotTin Roof. He left in 1974 and laterreturned to Mercyhurst in 1984 afterteaching at Penn State-Behrend.Later, personal tragedy struck,as Iddings was stricken with Lymedisease, around the year 1988.Despite the physical handicap thatdeveloped as a result, Iddings re*mained his challenging and "ec-centric" self. Then, sadly, on Au-gust 3,1991 Paul Iddings died atage 57 o f a heart attack. He will bemissed by all who knew him.While Idding's own acting ca-reer includes some impressive tides,he is widely known and respectedas a director and teacher. NicoleAcquilano, a sophomore who playedthe role of Mercy Lewis in The

Crucible, says, that he "...was .aperfectionist..we learned a lot aboutacting. He was a really good direc-tor..." iIBut for Adria Stalsky, * 'Uncle*\Paul was a great deal more than agood teacher, he was a treasuredfriend. "No words can describehim, no words can replace hirajhereis not really any one word to de-scribe him... he was so much!"After spending a weekend think-ing, sleeping and breathing overthis article, I can now say PaulIddings is more than "just anotherstory" for me. No, I didn't knowhim in his li fe, but the little I cameto know now makesme glad I knowa little, and even wishful to haveknown him more. I'm sure I willthink of "the movie-ticket man'* inyears to come.

So who was Paul Iddings? Hewas best summed up by Adria "Hewas Paul...and that's all!"

Dancers make mall debutBy Laura BlabacAssistant Features Editor

' 'Those lazy, hazy, crazy daysof summer..." JWell, lazy and hazy are twowords that do not describe the lastweek of August for the MercyhurstDancers, iEarly in August, a representa-tive from ArtsLfoes, on behalf ofWQLN and WJET, invited theMercyhurst Dancers to perform atthe Erie Arts Party. ^Accepting the offer, Mary PriceBoday, Dance Department Direc-tor, called the dancers back a week

pieces already used , and the addi-tion of a new work. \Finally the day arrived to per-form. The dancers, decked out in

early to prepare. Due to vacationtime, and a ew days preparation toget back to school, rehearsals didn'tstart until two days before. Therehearsals, strenuous as usual, in-

costume and pointe shoes, were theobject of attention as mallgiwalked by. Many people came towatch as "Fantasy Flowers,""God's Critters," and several so -loists displayed their classical rep-ertoire, ^ i iOn the whole, Boday felt that itwas a "good performance.It's ~we were able to represent the col-lege ." The department hopes thatnext year the show win do evenbetter. Knowing the department,that is definitely probable.

Mixers for drinks, pop (Pepsi,Coke or Squirt) and leftover din-nersfrom restaurantsare three thingsthat can usually be found in anytypical Mercy hurst student's re-frigerator. But, I'm not talking abouta ypicalstudentI'm revealing thecontents that await Dr. William P.Garvey, President of MercyhurstCollege, when he opens the refrig-erator for a midnight snack. 1Refrigerator contents are notthe only thing Garvey has in com-mon with students at MercyhurstGarvey is devoted to the college.It's a commitment to excellence,"he says.' 'Essentially, I believe youhave to leave the world better thanyou found it The world has to bebetter because vou were there and

that's a real challenge. Translatedin terms of Mercyhurst, that meansmaking sure that everything's donewell whether you're talking aboutthe3buildings, the library or thegrounds."The f President's views havederivedfroma lifetime of experi-ences and strong family ties. Anative of OilCity, Garvey hasmemories of his childhood andhisfavorite dish - Mom's meatloaf.His fondest memory, however, isof the time he attended his firstprofessional baseball game in Cleve-land when he was seven years old."The Indians played the DetroitTigers," he said. "D etroit was myfavorite team for years... I still havea little wooden bat that my fatherbought me. Now, the bat's in bettershape than I am."

Through the years Garveydeveloped a passion for reading."I think vou'llfindmore books in

DR. WILLIAM P. GARVEYmy house than anything else," hesays. On aday offyou canfindhimcurled up with a book in a quiet,pretty place where there's no peoplearound. In fact, Garvey reads aboutNight Lights fby H.G. Hersh-enburger. The book is a true storyabout a high school football coachin Texas and itis basically about theimpact of sports on kids."High school coaches have a

The next idea in I successfuldressing deals with body sculpt-ing. Think of clothing as an im-age-maker. It projects an imageevery time you dress. Clothes areable to make a body look flawlessor out of proportionJThe best way to learn how tobody sculpt starts with standing ina three-way mirror. Honestly as-sess the good points and not- so-good points. Remember, clothescannot camouflage every imper-fect detail. The true "perfectcomesfroma healthy diet, exer-cise, and proper posture.The look that body sculptingstrives to achieve with the excep-tion of an extremely tall person isthe look of height and slenderness.The lines in clothing are im-portant in body sculpting. Try tolearn what looks good on you, anduse (his knowledge every day. Darktones recede, w hile light and brightcolors emphasize an area. Colorsin contrast bring attention to anarea. A horizontal line broadens,and a vertical line carries theviewer's eye upward, creating atall, thin look. Multiple verticallines in a single color tends toshorten and broaden. A V-shapeddiagonal line narrows at the pointand widens at the opened V. Thestraight diagonal line is becomingon almost everyone, so take ad-vantage of this line.I The shape of your face is an-other factor to consider when1Wing for success. The ideal faceshape is oval. If your face is longand thin, the "V" neckline shouldbe avoided. Those*of vou with

square jaws snouid avoid squanor short "U" necklines- try toround out your face by wearing ascarf or necklace. Wear roundcollars if you have a pointy chin,and if you have a short neck, col-tlars worn lower than the bottom ofthe neck look best ExperimentBe choosy about your appearance.Dressing for success meansmany things. In order to achievethis art, you must suit your height,shape, face, and even your person-ality. Study the fashion trends butalso let a little of your own flairshine through. Consider yourlifstyle. What environment do youwork in? Where do you live? Yourwardrobe should be lexible.Thinkof quality and comfort One greatsuit is far better than thirty sepa-rates. I
