. Everyone that didn't go to the SnowBall really Imissed a great dance.Student Government did an super jobagain this year, but it's too bad thatmore people couldn't have gone andshowed their support of Student Governm ent's efforts.All year long everyone complainsabout having no activities to go to andthen, when o n e comes u p , hardly anyonegoes. This may be good for those w h o dog o because it provides more room on thedance floor, but I'm sure it causes somedifficulty for Student Government incovering the cost of t h e affa ir.

corner bar. That'sIthe one complaint*! T Q T k i p F H l t O rhave about the introduction that thesehigh school seniors are getting to Mercyhurst. iLast Friday night some of the admissions staff took a number of thevisiting high school students to the local'Mercyhurst hangout9 on the corner fora beer or two. Now I don't see anythingwrong with drinking beer or having agood time, but I don't think that it isnecessary to take fthese prospectivestudents to a bar , especially when theyar e not even legally o ld enough t o drink.I realize that the admissions staffwants to show the visiting students whata good time they can have while at Mercyhurst, but I feellthis is not the way tog o about i t . |v JMaybe a party held on campus wouldbe a solution. jThis may have been difficult last Friday because of the ,SnowBall but taking these?students to a barjust wasn't the thing toldo. Thesestudents are going to get just the impression of Mercyhurst that Mercyhurstis fighting to get rid of.

D a s h i n g T h r u T h e S n o wlldve you ever had a day^when nothing goesright? Friday was that type ol day lor m e . 1To begin with, Tat 10:30 a.m. j 1 called information and was told that school was beingheld.

quickly w ent back in their car s and drove awayAlas, I had to walk. |As I was trudging through the snow and battering a gainst the wind. 1 got the impressionthat a truck was coming close. Because I wascompletely covered wit hi snow, (a snow plowdecided to move m e off th e street JLuckily, I wasable to get out of its way, but the end result wasme buried in the snow.At 11:55 I finally walked through the doors atMain, and trudged up three flights of stairs andfound out tha t m y class was cancelled.Woe is me! f* I then decided that I must trudge back to mycar and try to rescue it .

T o The Ed torC a l e n d a r C h a n g e :S h o w M o r e C o n c e r n iSince the proposed schedule change idea wasintitated I have spent numerous hours debatingthe possibilities and weighing the advantagesand disadvantages. 1 have found for myself thedisadvantages for it outweigh the advantages ofa new calendar, I have attended a dinner withPresident Shane, jwas present I for the openstudent government meeting lithree weeks agoand fortunately walked into the poorly publishedSenate meeting last Friday. At these events Iasked very pertinent questions about the con-squences of the new calendar and the answers Ireceived were not satisfactory at all. I haveraised the question in regard to the new;calen-dar being an economic matter in which thewelfare of the student is not considered but whatis a paramount importance to Mercyhurst is theimput of bodies and money! The answer to thisquestion was non-existent. jWhat I have seen here at Mercyhurst is avariety of problems recognized by both facultyand students they a re: Academic standards not^being what they should; students not doing theiriwork and living up to their responsibilities; In

tercession not being a viable experience at itspresent level; Tuesday nights and free Wed-|nesday not being academically sound.!!A new schedule will not eliminate theseproblems but will onlv contribute more to thedownfall of Mercyhurst College as an institutionof higher education. A better education willstart only and when the administration gets intune with the students and adheres to theproblems that exist here, and today this camp u s . I feel that they are gambling with ouracademic futures and the odds are piled upagainst u s . tThe Administration feels that a new calendaris the answer to some of the problems here atMe rcyhurst, but the consequences* will bedevastating and far reaching unto the next tewyears). Dean Trimble is worried about losingn th e good student, hcLwUl continue|o lose ^heni^ilong as a major change goes untested and lacksthe necessary studying that must be done to beF assured that*this is the best thing for the Mer-iN cyhurst Community .iThe opposition to the newcalendar can be better thought of as more than"ruffling a few feathers". II is;;-strong andpopular. .What I call for is a genuine concern by allstudents to get their priorities straight and startthinking about the proposed-schedule changeand its consequ ences. I also ask for a vote by all1300 mem bers : a {change this dra stic deservesmore time and attention than the Student Gover-nment could possibly devote to it.

To The Editor- |L R C N e e d s Q u i e t IUpon recent visits to our Learning ResourceCenter, I have become very confused aboutwhere I was. I'd sit down and try to get somestudying done but find myself competing withall the racket going o n . j?I must be in the Union, because all I see aregroups of people talking and laughing:The promernds more "students" up here areusing the library for a place to socialize ratherthan a place to study. They dominate the QuietStudy areas and use* them for their private U.S.rooms. JSince ijcommute, this is the only place I cango on campus to find some peace and quiet.Peace and quiet is the last thing you get at Mer-cyhurst's Horary J Compared to Gannon's, thisplace is like a Z o o , with all the commotion. Gannon's library is much bigger pu t much {morequiet. $ [ I This complaint is directed to Mercyhurststudents and library officials.! Here's hopingthat the students will use the library for what iti s . Also maybe the workers at the LRC shouldlook and listen to what's going on around them.It is up to them to try to reduce the noise. Theyshould enforce a rule that students SHUT UP orGETOUT.
