Fun Day iIt's almost the end of anotherunderwhelming (in terms ofnews) school year. Good thingsome of the winners in lastweek's MSG elections surprisedpeople - word that tuition is to beraised in "79-80 certainly didn'tcome as a shock to anyone.The school year should end on ahigh note, though, if the eventssurrounding 'Activity Day' meetwith success (and there's noreason why they shouldn't.)The May 16 festivities aren'tonly being touted as the event ofthe season - no, sir! - more likethe event of\ the year. ? Whichexplains why more than just afew people are up in arms withthe student government leaving"a day of fun in the sun" as alegacy. t ("Forget the school'smore pressing matters - let'sparty! ) is how one student sizedup the situation. IUnfortunately that studentmimed the meeting last weekheld to start coordinating | theevents planned for 'Fun Day.'A great deal of brainstorming(I'm getting tired of that word)went on at last Friday's meeting.People - MSG members and thosenot directly associated with thegoverning body - were institutingmore constructive ideas; thanthere are potholes in?the Eriestreets.^ fHJnf l 1 ^' 'It was the governing body intop form - with energy to burn. Jwas 'impressed -; even thoughsome of my suggestions for theday were shot down (what's

wrong with coed mud-wrestlinganyway?) *^Granted, 'Activity Day' maynot be the greatest fact of life thatthe student government cancome to terms with, but it's in-tended to serve a purpose -student involvement. Now howmany times has that fact of lirecome up in a conversation? Infact, some of the MSG candidatesincluded it in their platforms.Come May 16 (we won't evenconsider the rain date for now)academics can take a breather.We can all do worse than allowourse lves, the opportunity tobecome hedonists tor a day.Questions Unanswered1.) Were last week's MSGelections really a classic case of'popularity contest'? Is that thereason why "personality over-came experience"?2.) When the cliche 'SundayDriver' was coined, were Eriedrivers directly in mind?3.) Is there any truth Ho therumor that Saga meals give awhole new meaning to the words"junk food" !Hey, Editor!And they said It couldn't bedone department: Believe^ it ornot, but a few interested studentshave applied for the task (forlack of a J better word) ofbecoming next year's Merciadeditor. 8 ,3,That's a sigh of relief...

9Justice ? |Dear Editor: B * i *^ During April, more than $700worth of plants, equipment, andsupplies were stolen from 'j theZurn Greenhouse.K-k-." * * c1

Last week, many of youprobably noticed the large yellowsigns around campus asking forinformation about this theft. Hiegreenhouse is a valuable part ofthe Biology department, withMercyhurst students in Botany,Horticulture, and Gardeningclasses benefitting from its use.

& Much * has been said aboutapathy at Mercyhurst - but thiscase is an example to the con-trary. Numerous Mercyhurstst udents provided 3 inform a tionabout where some of the stolenarticle s could* be g located.Obviously, student involvementin stealing Mercyhurst propertycannot and will not be tolerated.Security has been increased forthegreenhouse and therest of theBiology department. It will beunfortunate if continued theftsnecessitate more drasticmeasures that* will 5 limit the

acce ss of Mercyhurst students toscience facilities.Some of the plants, equipment,and supplies from the greenhousear e ; still missing. Anyone?withinformation about these articlesshould contacts me. Your-con-tinued cooperation! is^ ap-preciated. ? J3P$ jHJJI S^vS"^^' i SincerelyRaymond T. ^3 JusticeBreakNeeded

With the coming of finals, onceagain it's time to ask thequestion,*"What ever happenedlo senior exemptions?"S According to the 1 collegecatalogue, seniors have approvalto request exemption from finalexaminations \ upon verificationthat they are enrolled in theirfinal term. ;j*?fe T Ijg Few teachers thus far areconsidering giving seniorsexemptions. Come on professorsand instructors - it's our lastterm! We had to sit through fouryears of quizzes, exams, papersand oral reports - give us a breakduring our last term in this place 1llil Name withheld upon requ est

Congratulations, Dr. {jus tice ,for doing what you thought wasright! IA couple of weeks ago, about$700 worth of plants, supplies andequipment was ripped off fromthe greenhouse. In an effort tofind out who did it and toget someof the valuables back, Dr. Justiceoffered a reward out of his ownpocket. He found the people andsome of his plants._ The sadpart of the,whole |pry_is that, if Justice hadn't taken theinitiative, nothing would havebeen done. 'S Think of the number of break-ins, beatings, robberies anddestruction of property that hav etaken place on this campus thisyear alone - and then think of thenumber} of times people havebeen charged and made to payrestitution, tt j j |.In the cases w here people havebeen found guilty, the collegeusually doesn't do anything aboutit other than console the injuredand claim not to be responsible.K But anyway, *m ay be morepeople should take the idea of Dr.Justice and not kmake it so"easy." After all, $700 is a bigchunk of our failing budget - andwe all know who's going to payfor it in the end.>,,slK^Effifi9lH -SueFuss
