From theEditorsDesk

Mother NatureDid The MerciadArrive Friday?Relaxing on a snow and blizzard filled Tuesday evening, I findmy myself feeling quite lackadaisical and unable to think of atopic for my editorial.I could write about spring break or even the proposal of sum-mer Intersession. But, my main concern is whether or not we(The Merciad staff)'will be able to put out an issue this weekbecause of the weather conditions and transportation of the

newspaper to the printers. Incidentally, this is the last issue ofThe Merciad for winter term. Perhaps the anxiety that I'm ex-periencing is due to the fact that I, along with all other Mer-cyhurst seniors, only have 88 days until graduation, or that spr-ing break is fast approaching. *Spring break is often experienced by seniors having one lasthooray vacation before settling down to the coined phrase, "areal job in the real world." Many others will experience thesenior panic of writing that last minute resume to begin the jobsearch. Freshman, sophomo res , and juniors al ike will probablyjust enjoy their breaks or seek summer employment, as I did.Whatever the reason for my feelings, I'm anxiously awaitingthe 11 o'clock news just to see if Mercyhurst classes are cancelledtomorrow. Only once in my four years at the college have classesbeen cancelled, So - my anticipation will probably be followedby disappointment, and a busy Merciad day tomorrow. Mostpeople don't realize the deadline pressure and all the behind thescenes work that goes into producing a weekly publication.Many people get paid regularly for such a job, while the Merciadstaff members are all volunteer contributors.Guess what - no classes.Academically, it's unfortunate thanks to Mother Natiure.But, now is your chance to get that last minute work done as weenter final's w eek. From all of us at The Merciad to you ../." havea great spring break!

Slip SlidindAwayBy Karen GensAfter spending four years hereat Mercyhurst, I have grown toknow and love spring termbutthen, who d oesn't?! Spring itselfis that long awaited season whichfinally proves that Brie, Penn-sylvania is not synonymous withthe North Pole. With the arrivalof spring and spring term, one canbegin to shed a few layers' ofclothing, send home all the woolsweaters and turtlenecks, and,most importantly, dig out the ole'bathing suit and suntan lotion.Ah, doesn ' t i t a l l soundwonderful!

I'd like to continue to rattle onabout all the good points springterm has, however, I feel it isnecessary to remind the romanticsout there of the realities of springterm. First of all, April showersmay very well bring May flowers,but it ' also brings swamps andmud. This fact could be clearly il-lustrated if one were to strollt h r ough the backyar d o ftownhouse.

After living in the twotownhouse apartments for closeto two years now, I no longer en-joy knowing that if I ever feel theurge to relive childhood there isplenty of mud in the backyard formud pies. One of the sad points ofgrowing up is that I have begun tolook at things more realistically.To me, mud is no longer fun, it isa mess! My new experience with mudhas led me to several conclusions.First one cannot walk throughmud without ruining a pair ofshoes. Furthermore, one is con-stantly reminded how she-he haswasted $40 whenever she-he looksat her-his mud covered feet.Secondly, there is virtually nopoint in trying to improve one'sappearance. Usually, by the timeanyone makes it through theswampland they are spotted withmud, well so much for good im-

pressions! Finally, it is dangerous.Attempting to walk through thebackyard of the townhouses is

"hazardous to one's health."Anyone late for class takes his-herlife in their han ds when they try tomaneuver quickly through thearea. In fact, it is a common oc-cur ranee to see someone slip, fall,or hurt a lot more than theirpride.One cannot realistically believethat this dangerous! conditioncould and would be rectified if theresidents of two townhouseswould make use of their frontdoors. This ridiculous solutioncompletely ignores half of the per-sons affected by the situation:students from St. Luke's Elemen-tary School, as well as, thestudents and faculty who live inthe Briggs Avenue, Lewis Avenue,and Wayne Street areas. No,j amore reasonable solution is need-ed quickly as spring term is soonapproaching.Ruining a pair of new shoes inthe mud is one thing, however,ruining a person's life in the mudis quite a different matte r.

FaustMercy hurst College is currentlyfacing the annual disease that hasalready stricken thousands ofcampuses across the nation. Onceagain, it has been classified as themajor cause of the premature ag-ing of faculty and administrators.

It's name? Senioritis.This strange and timelessdisease attacks only seniors andhas just one known cure so far-graduation.Severe cases of Senioritis can bedetected as early as May of thejunior year, but normally it rearsits ugly head by January of thesenior year.F The cause is not certain. Someclaim the disease is contractedthrough exposure to contagiouspatients the previous year. Otherscite cafeteria food, mid-term ex-ams, persecution by the BusinessOffice, SAC activities, and otherinhumane, unspeakable torture asthe key causes of this malady,The Health Office, in conjunc-

tion with Dr. Hoff, is avidlyreasearching this phenomena. Thestudy, though incomplete, hasalready prompted Sister JosephMary Kosarky to call an emergen-cy meeting of faculty and .ad-ministrators. At the meeting, Sr.Joseph Mary and Dr. Hoff taughthow to recognize, and defendagainst, inflicted seniors.The symptoms vary, butclassical Senioritis can be detectedin its earliest stage by theapathetic attitude students adopttoward school. In most cases, it isaccompanied by the logic of"Frank ly, my 'dear Dean ofStudents, I don't give a darn!'*Stage two begins when apathygives way to a severe attack ofconscientious panic. Studentsstorm the Business and RegistrarOffices to ensure- that all is inorder. Those that survive theYost-Fyke&InQuisition quicklydeteriorate into Stage (gasp)Three.This is the dreaded epitome of

By Fran MoaveroTuesday, February 28 proved tobe a battle with Mother Naturefor most of the eastern states ofthe country.In western Pennsylvania, over12 inches had fallen by midnightand Mayor Lou Tullio declaredthe city of Erie a state of emergen-cy. Up on the highest plateau inErie, Mercyhurst College remain-ed idle like the rest of the city.The normal activities of the col-lege came to a halt Tuesday after-noon. The administration andfaculty offices closed at 3:30p.m ., evening classes were cancell-ed and the library shut down at 10p.m.As the snow continued to fallTuesday evening, students an-ticipated the cancellation ofWednesday classes. At 9:30 p.m.,students were notified of classcancellations for Wednesday.f Some students looked at thebreak as a time to catch up on stu-dying while others ventured outinto the eight foot drifts to buildtunnels or play football in thewinter wonderland.While students enjoyed MotherNature's nyptical faults, themaintenance department workedfor over 24 hours clearing thewalkways and parking lots.Because the maintenance menwere on call, some of them nevermade it home, So, they spent thenight on a couch in BaldwinLobby.A faculty member of the collegeexperienced a similar situation.Director of the Communications |depar tment, Richard Raganwaited for the snow to let up ouTuesday afternoon in hopes ofroad condit ions improving.However, the roads got worse andRagan could not leave the campusto get to his Waterford home. Asa result, Ragan was forced to

make the production room of theradio station his bed for the night.The extra time proved to bebeneficial. He said, " I got a lot ofwork done. I graded test papersand prepared for next week'sfinals. Sometimes days like theseare a big plus."Students also got a plus out ofI the situation. Most importantly,everyone viewed the day off as atime to get some needed sleepbefore finals. Some girls inBaldwin put their domesticcapabilities into practice andmade cookies. Another girl typed

ferent people. It was a better year,this year. Nobody wanted to say,'no. ' They at least wanted to helpand give something."Senior John Kuhl, also of thecrew team, was the winner of the

"highest amount of dollars raised- male."Both Marchwinski and Kuhlwon dinners for two at the Hilton.Also receiving special awardswere Rena Zicarelli, of The Mer-ciad team. She also won a dinnerfor two at the Hilton. M ike Secarareceived special recognition forhis work and daily revision of thePhonathon posters.Bukowski was pleased with thisyear's Phonathon, and thanks allstudents who participated.

K.After losing two straight con-tests while connecting on only 36percent of their shots from thefield, the Mercyhurst basketballteam went on a tear.In the last pair of games againstCoppin State and Alliance, the'Hurst has shot for 229 pointswhile hitting buckets at a 59 per-cent clip. Good enough for twodominant victories.Mercyhurst vs.V Coppin StateCoaeh Bill Kalbaugh and histroops were prepared for their se-cond encounter with the Eaglesthis season. The Lakers dropped a

Back toback jumpers by John Green keptthe Blue and Green on top byfour, 24-20.The next three minutes provedto.be the burst that was all theLakers -needed. Led by JonBerkeley's three hoops, Mer-

cyhurst outscored the Eagles tento four which gave the 'Hurst a34-24 margin with 3:59 left in thehalf. I ftr ,Coach Kalbaugh's crew main-tained the lead, going into thelocker rooms with a 42-31 in-tercession lead.Mercyhurst put the Eagles awaywhen they opened with eight con-secutive markers to make it 50-31and 16:22 to play.After one unsuccessful com-eback attempt, Coppin State wentdown without much of a fight.The Eagles saw their season closewith a 100-88 defeat by the 'Hurstas their record for the'1983-84outing ended at 12-15. ?*The Lakers were! led byBerkeley and Rodney Coffieldwho both had their best scoringgame of the year ended with 24and 22 tallies while Green follow-ed with 16 additions.

the 68 markers which were scoredin the second half.The Lakers started the contest alittle lackadaisical as the Eagles ofAlliance scored the first eightpoints of the game.
