NOVEMBER 21,1985 THE MERCIAD POut f indsMWho exactly is the band
OneOutta Place? They are thenewest talent to come fromMercyhurst.
With Darryl Lewison lead vocals, Pete November
on drums, Eric Christainsenon keyboards, Rob Heutscheon guitar,
and Hans Hetz onthe bass, One Outta Place Is aunique group that
playstogether for the fun of It.One Outta Place got theirstart just
like J most othergroups. November, Heutsche,and Hetz brought their
in-struments to school, heardabout each other and got a jamsession
started with Darryl do-
Members of the band are: Dar-ryl ^Lewis {sitting), PeteNovember,
Hans Hetz, RobHeutsche and Eric Christiansen
ing the vocals. Hans knewabout Christainsen playingkeyboards and
asked him toJoin the group. From there theband just "clicked" and
theyhave been playing togethersince then.The band practices nights
inthe Montgomery Room of theHammermill Library after thelibrary
closes down for 3theevening. These practices even-tually led to
their first "gig"playing a dance for the Specialeducat ion
Department 'sdance which benefited mental-ly retarded children. The
bandthen began playing off and ondown at Shennanigans.V',': One 8
Outta Place can beseen on the Mercyhurst cam-pus Feb. 15 when they
willopen for the band October In a" m i n i | concert to
besponcered by S.A.C. The bandmembers, who are all excitedabout
their forthcoming con-cert, plan on getting the au-dience up and
dancing. Accor-ding U to band members, theywould like to have a
standingovation and:come out for anencore. The band hopes thatthis
concert will give themsought after recognition andthe^chance^Jo
otherVgigs"like it. After the concert theywould like to continue
playingat bars, hopefully workingtheir way out of Erie at
somepoint. *Perhaps the band's successis due mainly to the fact
that

No excusesDead on the lineU Well, here It is, DEADLINE HOUR.
Never has such an ap-propriate word been spoken - DEADIine. fI have
a di ff icul t t ime trying to come up with a topic. To me,that is
one of the worst parts of this job - deciding on editorialtopics. |
I ;;Now there are not too many excuses I can use this week, I
hadthe whole staff working on their art icles for this week before
weleft for Thanksgiving break. (Perhaps I was thankful that I
don'twork for myself so I could enjoy break - even though I
didmanage to ruin my vacation by catching a nasty cough.)Choosing
the r ight topic has real ly thrown me. I started aboutsix di
fferent editorials. Most of them were laced with m essagesabout the
wonderfulness of Christmast Let's face it, there areonly so many
sugary things one can say about Christmas. (It ismy favori te hol
iday, in case you're interested. The Christmasseason has gotten
better since m y nephew has been around so Inow have someone w ith
whom I can be "chi ld ish". That and run-ning around the house
trying out al l his fun toys whi le I havematured my way up to
getting socks and underwear for theyuletid e season.) f ?But
seriously, there's a certain pressure to writing thesewords of
wisdom for page 4. I would like to believe that mostpeople at least
scan the editorial of the week. This is primespace and cannot be
taken lightly. With 2,100 copies of mywords (or our words when
Betsy chips in her thoughts) cir-culated, editorials cannot be
'blown off" as easy as some peoplecan breeze through an essay that,
at best, only one teacher willever read. ^Also, there's no room for
those maladies like "writer's block".I get that weekly and it hits
me like a brick wall. I can't ask for an"extension" or " just
another day" and hold the newspaper upwhi le I search for the right
editorial or just try and "get myselftogether". I operate on the
"du e yesterday" calendar of l i fe.But in all honesty, there is a
certain amount of satisfaction inthe frustration. Producing
something of this magnitude everyweek has given everyone on the
staff a chance to grow and learnnew thing s. (Which is one of the
basics of college.) Why just thisweek I learned what trimetrogon
means.Most of us are working on the newspaper in relation to our
ma-jors, but I think everyone does it because it's stil l fun and
hasvalue to them. Gathering a diverse group together every weekhas
its advantages. We each bring different personalities, dif-ferent
backgrounds and different interests to the office. And weall can
share in writer 's block together. And that's what makesthe
differen ce in being part of a group, sharing the Joys and
thefrustrations together. *My appreciation for all the work done
isn't always evident, butit is always there. Without being
surrounded by a sl ightly offbeatgroup like "The Merciad staff, l
ife would certainly be boringand less colorf ul . IThe student body
is also part of The Merciad staff. Withoutthem, we would have eight
blank sheets of paper weekly.[ So, to f inish my rambl ing and put
the newspaper "to bed"(journalistic lingo), I just want to wish
everyone a great holidayseason and a relaxing break. I know I'll
have fun - my nephew isgetting some great stuff for Christmas!MERRY
CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

children are going to haveany Christmas traditions, webetter start
making them now.First we are going to have tochange the Christmas
dinner.The old ham has just too muchfat, cholesterol and sodium
forour health-conscious society.How about a Christmas tunato

increating the Christmas spirit.Frankly speaking though mySinat ra
Chr is tmas a lbumsounds like a bowl of Rice1Krispies. After MTV
the nextgeneration is not going towant to hear such classic
holi-day albums as Andy WilliamsChristmas or Phil Specter'sWall of

if you are IrishCatholic.
As for television specials,
let's face it, Perry Como can'tlast forever. We are going toneed
new specials to be rerunevery year. | A star-studde ds p e c i a l
w o u l d b e t h e"Christmas at the Betty FordCenter", starring

ishad by al I.In keeping with the spirit ofthe Eighties, a classic
showwou ld be "Car l Sagan'sNuclear Winter Wonderland."For the
kiddies, new cartoonswould have to be producedalso. "Rudo lph the
Red-NosedReindeer" is great, but it'sbeen played so much thefi lm's
worn out."So to teachthe children the meaning ofChristmas, you
would havethem watch "The TowelheadsWho Hijacked Christmas."This
animated show featuresSanta's sleigh getting hijack-ed by people
who d on't believein Christmas. Santa gets shot,and it's up to

the past. My idea would be tosend a video-tape to all of
yourrelatives. Have them filmthemselves watching televi-sion and
complaining abouttheir medical problems.'Thenplay it back at
Christmas and itwill seem like everyone'stogether. jj-One Chr is

I t 'ssomething we have to bringback for we all miss
thosewonderful, hard-sell commer-cials that symbolized ourvcur-rent
commercialized attitudestoward the holidays. The com-pany's service
was also In-valuable. If you had to buy forsomeone who had
everything,what could you get thembesides a "Pocket Fisher-man?"
Another Christmastradition should be waiting inline at a department
