Fableb y J a m e s R e s t o n ( N . Y
Once upon a time there was abig elephant who ruled over theanimal kingdom for four longyears, surveying the universefrom his big flying machine,appearing | occasionally ontelevision and preaching thegospel of peace, prosperity, lawandorder. t | \ |'(Now this was a pretty restless
time. The other big elephantswere doing all right and the fatcats were dining onlcream andhoney. Everything looked fairlygood, particularly th e cute chickswho had long hair and very shortskirts, but a lot of the littleanimals were in trouble, andsome of them w ere even hungry.
So one day a little donkey fromthe prairies cam e along and saidhe thought the animal kingdomneeded a new leader, for examplehimself, and thejjNo. 1 elephantjust laughed and laughed. |J
"Look at the facts," the donkeysaid.* "The elephantf talks pfpeace, but there is no peace. Hetalks ofI prosperity, but over 5million animals are out of work.He boasts about good times butthe mice are paying 20 per centmore for cheese. He promised tobring the lions and the lambstogether, but the Lions ate up allthe lambs and even the tigers arescared to go out in the forest afterdark ."
"Listen to the jackass," saidthe elephant. "I won'tlreply tothis rubbish, but I will say this.Who made peace with the bears?Who flew to the very middle ofthe animal kingdom and tamedthe dragon? Who saved half amillion grunts from the greatswamp where they were sinkingwhen I took over the kingdom ? "
At this all the elephants beganwaving their trunks and shouting"Four more years," and thejackals "joined in and beganbarking at the donkeys, and thebears and the dragons noddedtheir heads ? and swished theirtai ls . .?'i*
ll have been misrepresented
byf the monkeys" the No. 1elephant continued.} "They goaround chattering against me inthe night. They call mejnames,and I have big ears . They publishtheir slanders on every tree in theforest , \ and the elephantremembers ." |jpEight* more years," roared
the be ars, who were lolling at theedge of the forest gobbling cheapwheat. "Twelve more J years ,"insisted the fat ca ts. | #
The elephant threw his trunkover |one tu sk, wiped th e TVmakeup off his face and grinned."1 doni say everything is perfectin the animal kingdom. There hasbeen somejj loose living aroundhere. I have seen the long-haireddogs HI the poppy patch. I haveseen th e| roosters catching thechicks, and even vice versa. Aridthere is crime and profiteeringand unemployment.
•j'But these are not the fimportant things. All animals mustlearn to see things as the elephantsees them: From on high. If youare hungry, you must realize that
. T i m e s i N e w s S e r v i c e )most animals are not hungry.|ityou are old or sick you mustunderstand that most animals arenot old and sick. It is ^ th egenerality of things that counts.The lions may , be " eating • th elambs, but the 'rate' of lamb-eating has gone down two-tenths
of 1 per cent in the last four years ,and who can match that ?'' Criesof "16more years.") *j
"I can," brayed the donkey,and demanded equal time. "Theelephant remembers what hewants to remem ber," the donkeysaid. "A hungry doe can't eat thegross animal product. A lamb inthe claws of a lion can't concentrate on the declining rate ofthe lion's appetite. It h as to thinkabout the decline of lam bs.
"Any jackass knows that. Theelephant says he has m ade peacewith the bear and tamed thedragon, and rescued the grunts,but the bear took our grain and isstill helping kill the grunts. Hedidn't tame them, he bribedthem, and what did the micearound here get out of all that ? ^
'"Hie elephant is deceiving you.He covers up his blunders. Heworks with the bugs to spy on thedonkeys in the night. He makesdeals with the bears at jour expense. The survival of the fittestin our kingdom has been replacedby the triumphfof the trickiest.What this forest needs is a goodhonest clumsy jack ass ."
But the* snakes hissed and thebears growled, and the lionsroared and the fat cats merelygrinned, and most of the animalscheered the elephant and theircries shook the forest.? "Twentymore years ," they shouted.4 Make it 40," roared the jackalsand the elephant smiled andwinked at the fat cats|S i t {•|MORAL: TRUTH IS INDEED

A. Because the switchboard runsoff the same power as everythingelse here and until we could run atemporary line up from 38th St.we had to rely on the emergencyline. ^However, wefdid have itcorrected by about 4:45 Mondayafternoon. %Q. Was the power off at theTownhouses?A. No, they're on a separateservice. T hey're not connected tothe campus' electrical system inanyway. M *Q. What about the Indoor Tennis
Courts? I heard there w ere lightsin that building.A. The power failure had noeffect on the Indoor Courts. Itssystem comes off of Para de B lvd.
. We understand you workedaround the clock during thepower failure. Is that correct?A. Yes, it was an around-the-clock effort by the Mercyhurstmaintenance- staff-principallyinvolved were John Flecken,Frank Schroek and myself.

PERSPECTIVES O N PARKINGb y T o m H e b e r l e 1
11 would like to make a fewcomments on the parkingsituation at Mercyhurst, and kickaround several^ figures inreference to it. &
First, there are a total of 301parking places at Mercyhurst. Ifyou place this figure alongsidethe number of stickers (482)bought, you will find that there isa gap of 181. This means that 181cars, at different times, find ithard to find a parking place. Abreakdown of the 482 parkingstickers^purchased reveals that240 were purchased *by day orpart-time students, 200 byfaculty, administration andmaintenance, jand 42j stickerswere purchased by residentstudents. Parking spaces aredivided up into three categories;faculty and administration, dayand part- t ime s tudents , andresidents. For the faculty there isa total of 62 spaces to be divided
up among 200 faculty and ad ministrators. For the day andpart-time students there is a totalof 203 spaces pfor 3242 cars.Residents have 36 spaces for 40
cars.Ham not trying tojplay a
numbete game, but if*you everlook on Briggs Avenue in themorning, count how many carshave stickers, and are parked inthe street.y I think that the administrationis doing their best to alleviate theproblem of parking. I am notquestioning their ability inhandling the problem, but I thinkit's unethical to pay $5.00 for asticker to park in Mercyhurst'sparking lots and then frequentlyfind yourself? parking on|BriggsAvenue.
Note: Figures concerningvarious numbers of stickerspurchased were obtained fromJames Chaffee, Director ofSecurity).

K With a determined frontierspirit the sisters began themonumentous task of completingan unfinished building before thescheduled opening of the college
G a r y B u k o w s k i
on Septemb er 7,1926.p-.Tlie sisters realized that theonly way to get the work done,was to do it themselves. Timewas running out, for the opening
was only 10 days away, so SisterBorgia Egan called in all thesisters from chapter houses whowere skilled in the use of paintand varnish brushes.
This determined crew viewedthe condition of the strike delayedbuilding with dismay.. .The mostpressing need were the floors ofthe dorm which had to b e sandedand varnished. With advice fromthe idle strikers, the sisters set towork with huge sanding machineson the floors of Egan Ha ll...
Work continued day and nightfrom the superior, Sister BorgiaEgan, right down to the youngestnovice. In those days there wereno elevators nor men to carryfurniture from the receiving areawhich w as in the serving room ofthe"present cafeteria. As soon asone crew of sisters put the furniture together, another carried itu p t h e stairs to its destination.

before* the opening. W hen thewhistle blew at 12 noon on theSaturday before Labor Dav, thesisters immediately HOOK up
where the workmen had left off.They worked late into the eveningapplying coats of varnish to thepresent floors of Old M ain. Aftersuch yeoman efforts, the doors ofMercyhurst opened in time tomeet its grade and high schoolstudents. Since CollegeRegistration was scheduled forSeptember 20, the workmen hadtime to finish the collegeclassrooms and labs on thesecond floor. The thirds floor ofOld Main, however,^, wasn'tfinished until much later. { % M $ &
A total of 23 freshmen wereenrolled in Mercyhurst's firstclass. Four sophomores werealso accepted. So, with}27students, Mercyhurst Collegebegan its illustrious history .
Those first students were of the
same pioneer stock as the sisters.On th e first day, the front campuswas just one large mass of mud
with a huge hole near the presentent ran ce to Old Main.; Thestudents had to walk over gangplanks to get into the building and
a|tractor stood nearby to pullunfortunates vehicles out 'of themud. ^ ^ I ff- The sisters' troubles weren'tover yet. While the Tudor-stylemain building looked beautiful,there were some f seriousproblems with the exterior brickwork. In fact, when it rained,towels had to be placed aroundthe windows that were on the firstfloor because of the amount ofwater that was coming in- Thishad started to happen when thebuilding was not quite a y ear o ld.There was another problem. Thecement between the bricks wasstarting to crumble and fall out.
Until something was done aboutthis situation the sisters refusedto pay the contractor. A certificate stating that the building
had been finished until Conrathmade corrections. The j wholematter finally ended in court. | |
Clarence Conrath, a relation ofthe late H.J. Conrath (who diedon February 24, 1927), broughtsuit against the college for final
payment in May of 1928. In hissuit he stated {he Mercyhurstbuildingl wai completed onOctober f_l,{ 1926 fi n strictf ac cordance I to W plans *andspecifications, and since thebuilding had been completed hewas entitled to a certificate ofapproval from the arc hitect.
Conrath insisted that the workhad been done in strict conformityto th e\ plans and orders of thearchitect He also said that H.J.Conrath had told F.F. Durangthat the mortar Jwould crumpleand fall out under Erie's wetweather but Durang had insistedthat his mixture b e used. Conrathconcluded by insisting that thesisters pay the $22,599.73 owed onthe building, phis all interest thathad accumulated since January13,1928. 2$ & M
The sisters, however, told adifferent storv. ? iS&S s a&Li
NEW COURSE FLlM 'EMA unique new course offering
this year at Mercyhurst calledSurvival J Techniques hasemerged as oneTofvthe mostpopular elective ^courses. Thethree-credit course, co-instructedby Dave \ Shimpeno and TomHumphries, is strongly recommended to law enforcementmajors but open to all interested

TENNIS - The tennis team produced the first championship inMercyhurst sports history by winning^the Edinboro InvitationalTournament. Because of inclement weather, the tournament wasmoved from Edinboro to Mercyhurst's indoor courts. Due to thisadded advantage, the tennis team wasn't to be denied. On the firstday of competition, we defeated M ansfield S tate 9-0. The second daysaw Mercyhurst on the winning side of a 5-4 decision againstEdinboro. Denny Kuhn, Tommy Thompson& Dave Williamson andJohn Daily each won both of their single matches.In doubles, theteam of Dave Kuhrt and John Daily swept both of their matches.Theentire team, along with their new smiling coaches, Bob Sturmand Chuck Dailey, should be con gratulated vfor their tremendouseffort 5 * . * 'i <^M l& Tf CROSS COUNTRY.- What? That's right, Cross Country. Mercyhurst ran a cross country team recently in a dual meet againstGannon. Although the team is operating on a clubjlevel at thepresent time, and had only one week practice prior to their m eet,
they made a very respectable showing against the downtowners.Finishing in third place for the Lakers was Bob Curtis. Bob is theonly runner with any previous experience'at the sport. John"Turkey" Meshanic, from Geneva, New York, finished in seventhposition. Other runners were Ed Burry, "Obie" O'Brien and KimKeith. Carl Stout is presently acting as co-ordinator for the team.John Crupi, a sophomore, volunteered his services to help organizeand manage the team. The runners will race St. Marks, AcademyU.S. and Gannon towards the end of the month. If these meets aresuccessful, and there is some enthusiasm shown for the sport, it isvery possible that Cross Country could become a full intercollegiate sport next year. Anyone interested in becoming amemb er of the squad should contact either Carl Stout or Bob Curtis.
GOLF - The golfers recently finished in ninth place in the Tri-State Intercollegiate Golf Tournament at Downing Golf Course.Eighteen teams competed in the event. Low for the Lakers was RickSeus who carded a 79. One stroke behind him came Bruce Chase,Tom Hixenbaugh and Terry Frontino. The linksters will competeagain on October 19th when they trav el to Cambridge Springs,Pa.,to face Alliance and Fredon ia.
U CREW - The crew team is prepping for three races which makeup their fall schedule. On Sunday,Buffalo State will visit Eri e to row
against tfee Lakers onour home course. Sunday,October 22. MorrisHarvey will be the foe and the fall season wUnclose with an in-trasquad regatta on October 28th or 29th. All races will start at 2p.m. I ] P
Gerry Sica will be the coxy for the V arsity 8 shell in the first rac eagainst Buffalo State. Gerry feels that because of their new coach,Mr. Dave Shimpeno, the crew team has become a very closely tiedbunch. Gerry is looking forward to her first race as a varsity coxy.She realizes Buffalo State will [furnish very strong competition,however, with the spirit of the team as high as it is, she feels thatthis could very possibly car ry them to an upset victory.
BASEBALL - The baseball team made its debut on''Sunday,October 8th. The team suffered a 4-1 loss to Edinboro in th e 10-inning scrimmage.Outdoor practices for the ballplayers will continue until October 13. They will then move indoors to the gym forperiodic workouts during the winter months. The team is lookingfoward to their opening day of April 7th with great anticipation. Theplayers will open a 20-game slate when they travel to Duquesne fora double headerj For a first year team , they are getting started inthe best way possible. They have the use of a beautiful new athleticfield and the services of one of the finest coaches in the area, JoeCook. Stalwarts on the team come spring are expected to be KentWilliamson, Steve Brandon, Bob Pettinelli, Howie Nemeny, MikeEmick£Bobby Wisemiller and Dave Wieczorek. i A
