Pomp Or Circumstance?This year, the method of selecting a speaker for the MayCommencem ent exercises is different from th e process used inpast years.Previously, speakers such as poet/author Samuel Hazo,Roman Catholic Priest and congressman Fr. Drinnan, andSenator William Proxmire were chosen by the college presi-

dent, at budgets set between $2,500 and $3,000.Recently, the Mercyhurst administration has requested thatthe Student Government form a committee of seniors torecommend a commencement speaker for the 1983 gradua-tion ceremony. The committee was instructed to accomplishwith two stipulations: first, to operate under a reduced budgetof $500; and second, to consider as the speaker someone frominside the college, presumably a Mercyhurst faculty member.Some reasoning does exist for the adm inistration's desire tohave a faculty member at the podium onlMay 29. Someprevious commencement speakers may have entertainedtopics which were of little interest to the gradu ates. A facultymember who knows the college and its students well may beable to relate better to the class of 1983 than someone fromoff-campus. Also, speakers of notoriety tend to be more ex-pensive than local ones.The Merciad has recently learned that the MSG committeeassigned to the task of choosing a speaker will recommendthat som eone from inside th e school not be selected. Instead,the committee will recommend either a distinguished alumnusor someone else of notoriety.The decision of the committee is not a reflection on the col-lege faculty. As a group, the instructors are energetic, in-dustriou s, and selfless with brilliant intellects and approachesin the classroom . But they are encountered daily. Besides fill-ing students with knowledge, many of them share theirwisdom throug h speeches at campus dinners or gatherings,Egan Scholaf*Apres Diners, the "Good Morning World"breakfast series, among other educational outlets.The committee is justified in suggesting that either adistinguished Mercyhurst* alumnus or an individual of somenotoriety be the commencement speaker. They feel, andrightly so, that the gfaduating class would prefer a speakerwhom they do n't encounter everday - someone who is newand different to them.A graduating class deserves a commencement ceremonywhich both reminds them of their past four years through thepresence of their fellow students and faculty members, butthey are also entitled to be exposed to the ideas, advice, andcommentary of a commencement speaker from outside thegates of Mercyhurst - someone from the world to which theyare embarking.

M Col egeBy Any Other Name...By Richard LanzilloThe term j*'university" hastraditionally placed a certainmystique upon the institutionsthat have had the distinction ofbearing this title. Most of us con-note "universities" with great

establishments such as Harvard,Yale, Columbia, PennsylvaniaState, and the University of Penn-sylvania, to name a few. We thinkof extensive research facilities,PhD programs, leading faculty,and Division One football teams.Unfortunately, for many pro-spective college students, "univer-sity* also means "h uge " and im-personal, therefore many studentsopt for smaller colleges whenchoosing an institution of higherlearning. This was the rationalefor many of us who find ourselvesat Mercyhurst. In the finalanalysis, small classes, facultyavailability and a friendly at-mosphere were preferred to theprestige of university status..'.A few years ago, there Was nota "un iversity" in the Erie area. Itis true that Behrend College is abranch campus of PennsylvaniaState University but Behrend visstill only a small part of the largerwhole. In 1980 the Erie situationchanged with the transition ofGannon "College" to Gannon"University". When this changeoccurred, I wondered how I couldhaver missed thet dramaticmetamorphosis of a small Eriecollege to the greatness of univer-sity status, I drove to PerrySquare to take a closer look. Notsurprisingly, there were no newresearch facilities.{In fact, there

did not seem to be any physicalchange in the area at all, exceptfor slightly more pigeon manureon the modern art sculptures.Maybe, I wondered, Gannon hadbeen some sort of "closet"university and they were just nowproclaiming their greatness. But

Richard Lanzillothe , whole situation still did notseem legitimate. Sure it is true thatGannon has a fine faculty andgood programs but so does Mer-cyhurst "College" and VillaMaria "College".The end result of my visit toPerry Square was the shattering ofmyt predispositions about the

nature of universities. Obviously,there is a certain criteria foruniversity status and Gannon hasfulfilled that criteria. T hus enter-ing the ranks of other relativelyprestigious institutions,'As time has passed, we havecome to take for granted 'thepresence of one "university" inthe area. But get ready, Gannon isabout to be joined by another"university": Edinboro '\State.Yes, Pennsylvania is going?to astate university system, thusemerges State University of Edin-boro, PA. This time I won't wasteany gasoline by taking a trip toEdinboro to hunt for* changes(pigeons don 't fly th at Tar southanyhow). This change also appliesto the other Pennsylvania stateschool schools such as SlipperyRock, Clarion, "Kutztown,e t c . . . -I realize that my initial descrip-tion of the classic "university' wassomewhat superficial and stereotypical, yet it was a statuspreviously not granted as ablanket proclamation.It appears that it is now vogueto become a university. Like somany distinctions, universitystatus has been ^ stripped of itsmeaning and become just anotherstatus symbol.Some people say that Mer-cyhurst* should rush to fulfillwhatever criteria necessary tobecome a "u niversity". With thisI must disagree. When everyonehas jumped on the bandwagon,we can enjoy the distinction of be-ing a "college " amongst a bunchof plain old "universities".

Holiday Inn"A friendly PlaceFor Friendly People"i ..., By John WolperWhat's happening downtown atthe Holiday Inn? The innovativedesign has been; proudly called"Kates"."Kates" restaurant and loungeis a beautiful change from the oldto the new! The interior has beendesigned *by Robert Broschefollowing California contem-porary designs. This warm andhospitable atmosphere createsgood spirits for each and everyguest.."Kates" is located in the Holi-day Inn downtown, steeped inErie's very own tradition for thepast 21 years. Under the directionof Robert Neumaier, Innkeeper,the downtown Holiday Inn hasmaintained a prominent role as acommunity leader and has beenregarded as one of Erie's finest

hostelries. The constant vigil keptby Neumaier-. is perhaps theprimary reason for success.Changing with the times is alsovital to continued success."Kates" restaurant and lounge isa pleasant departure from pasthistories, creating the promise ofnew and exciting chapters i infuture happenings..In "Kates" lounge, live enter-tainment is offered i uesdaythrough Saturday. The soft, cor-dial atmosphere is a delightfulplace to savor the fond memoriesof a great meal. "Kates" loungeoffers unique-snack foods and agreat "Happy Hour" from 4 to 7p.m. Monday through Friday.- Prior to relaxing in the lounge,I had the distinct pleasure ofeating in the restaurant. I selected

the "Great American Dinner"which*is offered every evening.The soup of the day was ham andbean. This soup was filled withplenty of ham and fresh greenbeans in a well seasoned broth.After beginning my meal with thisdelight ful soup, I created my ownsalad. The choices were tremen-dous in salad bar items. I filled myplate and returned to my tablewhere I enjoyed the varying tex-tures of each selection. My serverwas very pleasant and alwaysaround to cater to this diner'sneeds.My dinner entree was thenbrought to the table. My eyesbulged from my head as I beganto eat with my eyes. On the largeoval platter was a generous por-tion of prime rib, accompanied bytwo large stuffed shrimp (seafoodstuffing) garnished appropriately.With this was served an oversizedbaked potato complete with allthe fixins. A small dipping bowlwas placed-in the center of theplatter where natural juices fromthe prime ribs of beef was kept.This extra thought is impressiveand important to the overall suc-cess of serving prime ribs pf beef.Horseradish was also served withthe beef, which can make the eyeswater, and the nose clear. Theportions were large and too muchfor me to finish.To top off the evening, freshlybaked apple pie covered withfresh whipped cream was thenserved. The "Great AmericanDinner", offered nightly at theHoliday Inn, is a great value for.the hearty appetite.

It was very pleasant to see that afine selection of local wines werebeing offered. I had the RavatBlanc 1981 served with my dinner.Since I enjoy a white wine, myseafood tasted ever better accom-panied with the dry, crisp taste ofthis fine wine produced by PennShore Winery.It's always nice to know that"Kates" awaits you seven days aweek including holidays! "Kates"serves breakfast from 6:30 - 11:30a.m., lunch from 11:30 - 2:30p.m., and dinner from- 5:00 -10:00 p.m. Some highlights ontheir menu include such items asprime rib, fresh veal, fresh scrod,freshly prepared soups, anddesserts made in "Kates" veryown kitchen.

Pickled baby corn,watermelon rinds, fresh crumbledbacon, and a host of combinationsalads are just a few of the offer-ings found in "Kates" salad bar.If you're looking for the rightplace to bring the entire family, ora relaxing night out, or evenchoosing an atmosphere tocelebrate that special occasion,consider "Kates" in the HolidayInn, downtown Erie.

Horror Movies- - -Why! And HowThey're Changin

A TIME TO GIVE THANKS FOR ALL GO OD THINGS

By Patrick CannonBack in the early days of film,horror movies consisted mainly ofthe supernatural occult-orientedTransylvanian jauntra, such asthe 1931 production of Draculastarring Bela Lugosi and inspiredby infamous Prince Vlad Tempresof W allachia, the historical figurebehind the blood-sucking villainof Bram Stoker's novels. Thistrend persisted through out mostof the mid-century, with such pro-ductions as: Son of Dracula(1943); The Return of the Vam-pire (1943); Dracula starringChristopher Lee (1958); andDracula, Prince of Darkness, alsostarring Lee (1965).g&By the late 60's, this trend notyet abandoned went through amild evolutionary metamor-phosis. This was because horrormovie audiences became boredand disinterested with one vam-pire production j after another.Originality was needed to bringback the crowds.4 So, in 1968Roman Polanski, Anton LeVey,and Ira Levin stung America withtheir Iproduction of Rosemary'sBaby, a bizarre story about a cultleader trying'to claim the guar-dianship of a newborn of one ofhis followers. Polanski's successinspired more filmmakers tocreate scripts that made Satanhimself the direct antagonist. Thisled to such productions as AlanRifkin's The Exorcist (1974) andThe Omen (1975). This trendmight have persisted to the pre-sent day had it no t been for direc-tor/producer John Carpenter.Like Polanski, C arpenter need-ed a new idea to inspire largeticket sales. This new idea came in1979 with the production ofHalloween. It's the terrifyingstory of a psychopathic escapee,

Voice's OyerEasyby G. Voko

Cloudy,No S to rs lSomething strange is going onconcerning the Mercyhurst Soccerprogram.Last Sunday the Western Penn-sylvania College Soccer Leaguefinal standings were released (theycan be seen to the right of this col-umn.) Also, you will notice thatattached to the.-standings is theWestern Pennsylvania In -terscholastic Soccer ConferenceAll-Star Team.Don't strain you eyes lookingfor Mercyhurst soccer players,you won't find any. *. Laker Head Coach Cees Smitexplains, "I felt that we had agreat season. We won by ex-hibiting a solid team effort and Ididn't feel we had any outstan-ding individuals."I'm not sure that I agree withCoach Smit, and apparentlyneither did all of $t he[represen-tatives at the November >llfJj982,meeting of the WP1SC. ; *Let me explain the selectionprocess and the wrong that hasbeen done.According to WPISC PresidentHerb Lauffer, in order for anathlete to be named to the soccerall-star team, he must receive at

least seven nominations fromcoaches in the conference. (Acoach may not nominate a playeron his own team).Edinboro Coach George Shim-pi no also elaborated, "It is statedin the By-laws of the Conferencethat the conference*! policy is torefuse or not to accept anynominations from a school whichdoes not have a representative atthe meeting." iWell, the WPISC had a meetingMonday, November 1, at 7:30 atSlippery Rock State College, buttwo of the schools, Mercyhurstand A lliance, did not' have arepresentative there.IThis is the issue I question. Bynot having a representative attendthe conference meeting, Mer-cyhurst was unable to have anyathletes on the all-star team, eventhough they had the necessaryvotes. '-Not only did the Mercyhurstcoaches negate any opportunitythat our soccer players had, but!*;they also jeopardized athletes'from other schools from beingselected to the all-star team sinceour coaches weren't there to votefor other players.Lauffer revealed that possiblythree members of the 'Hurst'ssoccer team could have beenselected to the all-star squad had arepresentative attended themeeting.

DeMeo SpeaksLa kersTO THE MERCYHURSTCOMMUNITY: )This coming Saturday, the Mer-cyhurst * Foot ball plays EdinboroState College in tbe biggest, mostchallenging game of our two-yearFootball program.Edinboro State is a naturallyranked Division II squad and isthe ^Pennsylvania State Con-ference Western Division Cham-pion. Playing an Opponent of thismagnitude is a tremendous under-taking for Mercyhurst College -not just the Football team - butfor the entire MercyhurstCommunity.A few years ago I witnessed anArmy-Navy game at J.F.K.Stadium. On paper Army didn'thave much of a chance. But thegame wasn't played on paper, itwas played on grass. Army upset

Trish Mahoneywill play a large part in the LadyLaker success this year along withfour other strong starters and ayoung and enthusiastic bench.Trish hopes to follow a careerin the ieldof health as she holds a3.24 Q.P.A. as a student atMercyhurst.I would like to take this time towish Trish Mahoney and the restof the Lady Lakers, under thedirection of second year headcoach Shelley Monas, the best ofluck in their upcoming 1982-83season.WomenB-Ball1982-83

By Greg YokoThe W omen's basketball team's1981-82 year proved to be verysuccessful. The Lady Lakers,under the direction of CoachShelley-Monas, ended their*cam-paign with a 15-5 record.Monas has set high goals for theteam to achieve this year, but theyare attainable.Mercyhurst has added fourmore games to last year's 20-gameschedule and Monas hopes to turnat least 20 of the ? contests intoLaker victories.Seniorsj Tricia Mahoney andJoanie Podolinski are expected togive the team the leadership andthe drive to obtain the WesternKeystone Conference Champion-ship. Last year, Mercyhurstfinished their conference with a6-1 slate.There are seven new playersmaking their debut on HeadCoach Monas' women's basket-ball team this year.Annette Burns, a 6'1" productout of Erie's East High School, isexpected to play both the forwardand center positions!' for the'Hurst. Monas says, "Annettegives us good height, plus she is ateam ballplayer."Strong Vincent graduate Cyn-thia Crockett will see action at theforward spot. The 5'6" Erienative has "great natural skillsand shows a lot of potential,"says Monas. .Elaina DeSanto is anotherErieite. The 5*4" guard playedhoops at Seneca High School."Elaina is a good ballhandler anda real fighter," said Monas."Audrey Karuba is a goodshooter. She has a set shot andwill be a guard-forward," ex-plains Monas. 'Karuba is a 5*8"graduate of Erie McDowell HighSchool. IMichelle McCumber is anotherlocal product. The 5*11" forwardTHE MERCIAD

The Mercyhurst CollegeWomen's Volleyball Team is com-ing to the end o f their 1982 cam-paign and Head Coach ElaineRuggerio is sorry to see it end.The Lady Lakers have beenplaying their strongest as they fac-ed some of the toughest teams ontheir schedule.The spikers faced nationallyranked Grove City College overthe weekend. The Hurst defeatedthe Wolverines in one game butlost the match by the scores of9-15, 15-10, 7-15, 8-15. It was thefirst time the Blue and Green hadwon a game from Grove City intwo years. *The Lady Lakers also facedYoungstown State, the Spikerslost by the scores of 4-15, 16-14,

8-15. Freshman Diane Lark Theresa Def finbaugh came offbench to aid the Lakers.Thiel College came to the Mcyhurst Campus Center hopintake another win from the HuThe TomKittens defeated the Band Green in their; first meeearlier in the season . The Spicame out strong and never turback. The Lady Lakers defeaThiel by the scores of 15-4, 115-2. Lisa Jacobitz Annie Bbules, Elaina DeSanto and ShPutnam all contributed to winning cause.

Monas says,"Michelle looks extremely good, Idon't see how we can keep her outof the lineup."Jeana White is considered byCoach Monas to be an extremelymotivated athlete. Jeana, a5'1/2" guard from Warren, ispresently recuperating from aknee injury. {Jothany Williams is a 5'3"guard from Wickliffe, Ohio,Monas says "Jotti shows greatquickness, perhaps the fastest onthe team."

The addition of freshmen Mc-Cumber and Burns give the LadyLakers the needed height whichthey lacked last year.According to Monas, the insidegame should be the most improv-ed aspect of the women's squad.Also, with 13 members on theteam, the 'Hurst's bench strengthhas improved drastically.One other alteration that CoachMonas wants to make is the Lakerrecord against local rival GannonUniversity. Last season three ofthe five games in which the LadyLakers were defeated came at thehands of the Golden Knights.Monas feels that the 1982-83

squad can turn that stataround.The Lady Lakers have a snucleus and the addition o f setalented ballplayers can only the team. -.Look for a succes1982-83 season from CoMonas and the women's basball team.A NBAEASTERN CONFERENCEAtlantic DivisionW L Pet.Philadelphia 5 0 1.000Boston 5 1 .833New Jersey 3 3 .500
