E. Kennedy

Director of Safety PhyllisAiello commented,''Its a priori-ty of the college to recover these,not just because of the inherentvalue but as for what itrepresents in keeping Mer-cyhurst looking like an academicinst i tut ion rather than asubway." ^., The theft of a Biology Depart-ment tape recorder has prompteddepartment chairperson Linda L.Williams to offer a $30 reward forinformation leading to the returnof the property. * ^3I According to Williams, the taperecorder is valued at $250 andwas stolen sometime during theweek of January 18-22.The machine was* used byBiology students in conjunctionwith a slide projector for slideshows, said Williams. She addedthat the biology students knewwhere the recorder was kept butthat others Iwho traffic thedepartment may also be aware ofwhere the recorder was stored.I n a d d i t i o n , t w osphygmomanometers

iB&ttorial JANUARY 28,1982 PAGEThe EnemyWithinThe proliferation of thefts atthe college has reached per-nicious heights this term. Ap-parently;1 the cold weather doesnot make light ingersstiff.Two lamps stolen from the

foyer, a tape recorder from thebiology department, a spaceheater from the newspaper of-fice, and a beverage system fromStudent Activities are examplesof the criminal aspect of the col-lege community. The one factorall these thefts have in common isthe easy a ccess available to col-lege inhabitants. , ffc'-*It is somewhat unrealistic(though not /unbelievable) toassume that an outsider has cas-ed the college for such awkward

goods. Therefore, one must con-clude that the undesirable ele-m e n t m o v e s w i h t i n t h ecommunity. .. *' This thought leads one towonder exactly why the elementis surfacing. Winter doldrums?T r u t h or D a r e ? I n n a t edepravity?whatever the motivation, cam -pus theft could prove a monetaryasset to the community throughrewards. f.

College Contest Announced;Best Creative Practical Joke W omen R esent Use Of"Girl" On Sports P ag ePat Weschler is the originatorof the CREATIVE PRACTICALJOKE CONTEST. Following aresome extracts of a letter CampusMinistry received in July 1981.Dear Sr. Elisabeth,Anidea came tome while I wassitting in my apartment thisafternoon trying to study for theOhio Bar Exam, which is aboutfour days away as I write this.Lots of ideas come to me while Iam trying to study for exams, butthey are never connected to thesubject matter being studied.I would like to sponsor anaward, to be administered by theCampus Ministry. The awardwould be given out on an annualbasis to the perpetrator of themost creative practical joke (orother humorous falsification)originating in the MercyhurstCommunity.

The award would be known asthe Eleanor Gwynn MemorialAward.W The ground rules for the awardare more a matter of commonsense than anything else. Thepractical joke could not bemalicious: it would not be allow-ed to involve injury to persons orproperty. No injury to reputationwill be permitted, but theperpetrator would still have toabsolve Mercyhurst and theCampus Ministry of all potentialdefamation liability.r Timing of the competitionwould be left to you, but I thinkthat something like this would bea marvelous way to dispel someof the midwinter doldrums..; I would be more than happy tosupply the amount of the award;it strikes me that this would be asingular way for me to remember

the campus ministry.Perhaps the first year's awardshould be specially dedicated toDavid Blanchfield. -,His Peace, $g&.Pat W eschlerp Type written accounts of thecreative practical jokes should behanded in to Campus Ministry byMarch 1, 1982. The perpetratorsand receivers of the the joke willbe interviewed by a panel con-sisting of Father Chuck]Elisabeth, Steve Kayner,Kennedy, Rebecca Martin, ^ ^Marie M artone. :- {p!TThere will be three prizesawarded. 1st prize $10 and an awardplaque * | ^2nd prize $10 and a smallerplaque j3rd prizeplaque

To the Editor, | fr-it has:come to our attentionthat in recent issues of the Mer-ciad, members of the women'sbasketball team have been refer-red to continually as "girls." Wecite specifically the article whichappeared in the January 21 issue(Lady Lakers Bow to St.Bonaventure), which used theterm "girls" no fewer than fourtimes. Admittedly, one such

reference occurred in a quothowever, we feel there is no excuse for such an oversight in thregular text of the sports page.Mercymisrt College should nobe allowed to tolerate sexism iany form.

Religious Freedom Vs.Freedom Of ConscienceJANUARY 28,1982

Events around the world and athome,call our attention to theissue of religious freedom andfreedom of conscience:Item: the current plea, of PopeJohn Paul II to the Chinesegovernment seeking greaterreligious freedom for the Chris-tians of China.Item: the two families seekingasylum in the basement of theAmerican Embassy in Moscowfrom Soviet repression of theirreligious freedom and theirfreedom of conscience. fejItem : the people of Poland whoare being forced to take loyaltyoaths by the military g overnmentin Poland a n d w h o a r e beingdispensed from oaths takenunder duress b y . t h e PolishPrimate. "*^Religious freedom, or freedomof conscience, is not a conditionthat is easy to win or keep. Ourfounding fathers testify to that.They came in search of: relieffrom the repression of freedomthey were suffering in Europe on-ly to become rather restrictive ofreligious rfreedom themselvesonce they came into power inMassachusetts.*The winning ofreligious'.freedom in Americanlife has not been an easy or cer-tain victory. Forces of repressionand tyranny in these areas areconstantly at work. ***#L; These freedoms of religion andconscience are guaranteed by theAmerican Constitution and by theDeclaration of Independence.They have also been proclaimedby Popes John XXIII and Paul VIand the fathers of the SecondVatican Council as indigenous tothe Rom an Catholic faithPope.John XXIII proclaimedthat: .AEvery human being has the rightto honor God according to thedictates of an upright conscience,and the right to profess bisi 'religion privately and publicly.(cfPacem in Terris, John XXIII)No person or institution shouldinterfere with your right todevelop an "upright" conscience,

or your righ t privately or publiclyto honor God as you choose Per-sons* and institutions shouldrather help you form such a cons-cience and p ractice your religionfreely. Coercion or force areforeign to the Christian.Where force has been used tocoerce people into religious beliefthe results have beeni unfor-tunate, as in the forced conver-sions of Scandinavia and Spain,the Inquisition, and in incidentssuch as the Galileo case. AfterGalileo had been forced underthreat of torture to agree that theBible showed that the earth didnot move, he said quietly as heleft the scene of the condemna-tion, that "it still moves." j^Conscience literally means toknow or to know well, to knowwith the totality of being and toknow with the pest wisdom andinformation available. Jews lookto Torah-Talmud and the wisdomof their sages for help in formingtheir consciences and practisingtheir religion. Catholics look tothe Bible-Tradition-the teachingsof Councils, Bishops, theologiansto help them form thei r"upright" conscience. But theresults are not uniform. HasidicJews do not think Reformed Jewshave formed their consciencescorrectly. Yet they are both stillJewish, Right Wing, TridentineCatholics do not think liberal Na-t i o n a l C a t h o l i c R ep o r t e rCatholics have formed their cons-ciences correctly.The church contains them both,hopefully in love and cooperation.What is important is not that oneside wins over another but thatall groups make the good faith a t-tempt to form their conscienceswith the best information theyhave av ailable to themselves. St.Thomas Aquinas, who was ex-communicated for a time in his

day for his theological views, saidthat we should bear such condem-nations gracefully. * Schools and colleges ar e placeswhere information and wisdomshould be conta ined and

transmitted and where studentsand faculty can form their cons-ciences in a context of responsi-ble freedom. Christian collegestake note that Jesus is strikinglyportrayed as the divine prophetof freedom who guarantees th at itis the truth that shall make usfree. The wheat'and chaff aremeant to grow together until theharvest, Jesus reminded Hisapostles when they wanted torepress those whom they thoughtto be in error. St. Basil the Greatand Julian the Apostate went tothe same school, we are remind-ed by John Henry Newman in hisIDEA OF A UNIVERSITY. WiFreedom of religion andfreedom of conscience -weredebated by the bishops andtheologiansat the Second VaticanCouncil. The results werepublished in the Declaration onReligious Liberty (1965). In mak-ing that declaration, Pope PaulVI said that people todaywweredemanding they act more ontheir own judgment and that theybe enabled to enjoy and make useof "responsible . freedom inreligion and be not driven bycoercion but- motivated by asense of duty. ;.If this is to come about, thePope says, "(it demands), in thefirst place, the free exercise ofreligion in society." (Walter M.Abbott, Documents of Vatican II,Guild Press, 1966, p. G75-6). ThePope .then declares that thesedesires should be recognised andthat they are to be regarded as"greatly in accord with truth andjustice." ^ This, I think, is the spirit inwhich Mercyhurst College pro-ceeds in its classes, its programs,its administration, its relation-ship with the Erie communityand the world at large. Justbecause authors of the Declara-tion of Independance and the Se-cond Vatican Council papers and

many others I have proclaimedthese freedoms of religion andconscience does not-mean theyare ful ly won or secureanywhere. They must be takenconsciously to our bosoms, as itwere, and shared, fostered, pro-moted among ourselves andothers, w We assume that those who donot share our views are never-theless in good faith and we donot impute motives to them butencourage them tot enter into

dialogue with us in seatruth . We think Newman was correct wcouraged students of a'follow the truth whermay lead,' and, in thedevout humanism, 'to llive.' There is risk in risk could be comparrisk Jesus took when 'freely' among the peopideas of freedom ansibility in the servicKingdom of God.

gTttirtE JANUARY 28,1982 PAGE 7FromTheBeanstalk

By J. Beaner

Finally, while I'm speakingabout freshmen, I'd like to con-gratulate Rodney Coffield whosepressure freethrows won theBehrend game. I choke on lay-ups when our intramural team isup by 20. Those two freethrowswere probably your most impor-

tant shots of the year. Good jobRod. ' 1 | IWell, somehow I managed toget through another column. Ihope that I never have this pro-blem again. For now, this is J.Beaner signing off. t .$

For the last two weeks I'verambled on about one thing oranother just to fill up room on thespurts page. True, I really don'thave to worry .about filling upspace because ads do that verynicely. The problem is that I hateads on the sports page (not thatwe don't need ads because theypay for the paper, but I just don'tlike them). So, here I am writingagain in an effort to keep ads offthe sports page. JBut ads aren't the real problemhere. The real problem is that Idon't have anything to writeabout. I could write about howfantastic the Women's Basketballteam (and notice, I didn't saygirls) is doing. Coach ShellyMonas is doing a terrific job withthe ladies and deserves a pat onthe back for her fine job. The pro-blem with that is I've donesomething similar to that alreadyand I want something new andnot repetitious.I could point out the fact thatthe Men's Basketball'team hasalready won seven gameshalfway through the season. Theimportant point in this is thatnoted Brie columnist Jack Poten-cy predicted the Lakers to w in on-ly eight games. I think maybeJack took prediction lessons fromthe Beanstalk School of Han-dicappers. Well, I think thatCoach Kalbaugh has done a finejob so far and we can expect evenmore fr om, the team if thefreshmen continue to improve.

Women's RecordNow 5-2 iThe Mercyhurst Women'sBasketball team has completedone of its most successful weeksin its history by defeatingBehrend 61-57, Case WesternReserve 71-64, and Thiel 79-52.In an exciting game lastWednesday in - the GannonAuditorium, the L akers defeateda determined Behrend team. Justover five minutes into the game,it seemed as if the *Hurst was onits way to an easy victory. Withthe Lakers leading 14-6, greatlydue to their defense, Behrend Col-lege called its first time out.Evidently Behrend's coach founda key beca use within the next fiveminutes the score was tied at14-14. The 'Hurst was hurting on

rebounds and the shots weren'tdropping in and by the half theCUDS were! leading 27-22.Freshman Joan Kolaja was heldto only two points in the half. Onthe bright side, Trish Mahoneysank ten points and BeaTomczakwas playing a strong defense.Coach Shelly Monas must havefound the secret to the BehrendCubs because the Lakersoutscored the Cubs 12-4 in theopening six minutes of secondhalf play. Mercyhurst continuedto pull away and with 5:30 left toplay, the Lakers were up by tenpoints. 50-40. But then the gameturned. Mahoney was called forher fourth personal foul. The'Hurst began to take poor shotsand Behrend kept coming at
