Fraternities, Sororities and thelimited social life at! the'Hursti Let's take a look at the limited number of
social activities and organizations that exist,or should say don't exist onthe Fanstasylandride on the Mercy world campus.g According tothe latest Mer-cyhurst catalog jthere are a fewclubs on campussuch as, Tau SigmaMu (the Mer-cy hurst honor soci- Wety) and the ofganP f * *zations associatedwith majors. But,according to E.William Kennedy, 1 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^director of studentservices, they arenot considered to *be social clubs.{
I Most college' s have established fraterni-ties and sororities to help provide a social lifefor their students. So, why doesn't Mer-cyhurst allow frats?
According to Dr. William P. Garvey, theschool administration is not against the ideaof having frats on campus. But, he said,student apathy has never gotten theiissue
e talking stage. He added that theId go before the board of trustees.
But, the students would haveto bring it upand follow through," he said. i
The administration does have some reser-vations concerning the location of a housewhich wouldbe large enough to house a frat.The only possibility may beto convert someof the apartment buildings for frat use."There is already a raternity-like atmos-
phere to the som e o f the apartments," >r.Garvey said referring to S. Briggs and theMercy apartments.
4 'The image of an Anfynal House style offraternity is not true of all Greek hou ses,''Kennedy said. There is drinking and wild
parties at fraternities but, not all Greek houses Dr. Garvey said that one requare like that The same kind of thing currently a frat at Mercy hurst would be thtakes place at Mercy hurst without the spon- supervisor be placedin each buildi

t
sorship of a national fraternity, according toKennedy. iHowever, there are some whoactually
spend time studying!and who spend timehelping the community, he said. *
All fraternitieshave it in their charters thatlocal chapters must perform some commu-nity serviceduring the year or else lose theircharter, i 7
The fraternities at Gannon are currentlyunder a one-yearprobation because of behav-ior problems. One particular incident was afight which occurred between the TKE andPKA fraternities. This incident was accountedin the Erie Times and on the local news.
The behavior of a frat usually comesunder the authority of the student dean. But,according to the Gannon Knight,at Gannon
the President's Cabinet is theauthority whomonitors the behavior o f the frats and takesaction when violations are reported. Frats atMercyhurst would be under the authority o fE. William Kennedy,director of student serv-ices. T

Mercyhurst president, Dr. Wil-liam P. Garvey recently said thatstudent apathy is abig factorin whythere areno fraternitieson campus.Accordingto Dr. Garvey students
began a move to bring frats ? toMercyhurst aboutfive years ago.The plan got to thetalkingstage butthen interest just faded awayandapathy raised its ugly head. '
Some membersof the admini-stration are afraid the frats wouldturn out like someof the onesatGannon, whereall they dois drink,havesex, partyand maintaina QPAof .021. That is really a moot pointsincea trip around the college apart-ments will show more drinking, sexand wild parties than could takeplace in one fratin an entire schoolyear. The only difference is theapartmentsare not under a nationalorganization.
There area lot of Greekwhospend their entire fouryearsin col-lege studying and doing communityservice. All frats have to providecommunity service as partof theircharter.
There are some benefits to hav-ing Greek on campus. Alreadymentioned is the increasein studentparticipation| but there is also thefact* that frats would provideoff-campus housingand study areas forstudents.* The only argumenttheadministration could have with thatis that it would take;little-neededrevenue outof their pockets.
Thereis a need and a desire formore social activities at Mer-cyhurst Itis notbeingfilled by anyof the established school groupsthen students ?willhave to try toorganize a group tofill the need.
If the administration really caresabout what their students want,don't waitfor us tocome to you.jInterest has been expressedin thepast andthe need is here now. Sendout a survey or let usvote ontheissue of frats at Mercyhurst..ask uswhat we want

#54ivoices{his opinionDear EditorMany people seem tohave fastrong opinion on how things areand should be*on this campus.Through the Merciad,& few of ushave voiced this opinion. Now ,it ismy turn.
This paper has a reporter calledFuzz B rain, or something like that,who believes w riting about a yellowpole is interesting.He also is com-pelled to write abouta low achieversdinner in which he alludes many ofour athletes would be attending.Itappears his objective is to point outthe low number of high academicachievers, while rebuking our ath-letes. In all actuality, this collegecan academically be proud of manyMercyhurst athletes. | p
Over the past few yea rs, tabula-tions on 'Hurstathletes reveala 2.75overall QPA for* all r sports com-bined. Not bad when one considersall that is involve d. Du e to athleticresponsibilities, the timeafforded tostudying is much less for studentathletes than other mem bers of thiscollege. These constraints demandmore dedication to studying whileadding unusual amounts of stress toperform academically.
1 The point being, our athletes do
Strive for academic excellence andare achieving their goals. For ex-ample, average SAT scores for in-coming football players were equalto o r higher than average SATscores of all entering freshmen(1987-1988).I | f J
I I am not trying to say that ourathletes are all dedicated scholars,but let's look at what they mustmanage before we take shotsa tthem. Last week,Matt Triola men-tioned 20 or so athletes at the Dean'sList Dinner. Congratulationstothose :. attending. Speaking of"t re e" , it may be interesting to notethat our pastAve student govern-ment presidents have been athletes.

Taylor Worth praisedasiAmerica's #1 sexist
By Robi Taylor / |Merciad Managing EditorWorth Winning , - iStarring - Mark Harmon andLesley Ann WarrenDirector - Will MackenzieTwentieth C entury FoxRated PG-13 I I
I almost hatetot admit it but Imust be an underground male chau-vinist The womenin Worth Win-ning are treated like they are onlypieces of meat, sexual objects, orplaythings,and I admiredthe char-acter of Taylor Worthfor being ableto get away with it
Mark Harmon plays the leadcharacter,Taylor Worth, whois thekind of man women can't resistAfter dating and using them for amaximumoftwo months, he dumpsthem,or to be more accuratehegetsthem todump him. i After threeof his bestfriends seeWorth slideout of his latest relation-ship theybet him anoriginal Picassopainting against his fishing cabinthat he cannot become engaged tothree women, of their choosing, inthree months.| The first choiceis named Erin, abeautifulblonde virgin who wouldrate a ten in anybody's book, exceptfor the fact thatshe is protected bythe front line of the PhiladelphiaEagles. I |
Numbertwo is Veronica,who isa conceit pianist who hates richmen. #
And comingin third is Elenor,played by Lesley Ann Warren, whois unhappily married and udging byher behavior has not had sex in atleast five years.
The description of the womenalso describes the problems thatWorth has not only beenkeeping
them apart but getting each of themto fall in love with him.
The actresses were all delightfulin the'roles. It was great to seewomen on the screen who couldmake fun of the unjustified stere-otypes that women have had overthe years.The way their charactersportrayed the innocence womenhave in relationshipsmade me thinkback on a few of the relationshipsthat I had when I was in high school.
The director was very carefulnot to make them look silly or stu-pid. He did manage to achieve thevulnerabilitythat he was looking foreach character, including Worth. Totell the truth,I got to feel more sorryfor him than I did the women in hislife because they wanted a commit-ment but he didn't realize that heneededone personin his life* #
Harmon playedhis charactertothe max.He has a certain look thatmade him believable inthis role andit was that look that made WorthWinning so funny. It'snot-that helooked likea slime ball On thecontrary,he has enough ofan inno-cent look to really be able to getaway with almost anything.
| All the parts of Worth Winningfi t togetherperfectlyJt is nota "rollon the floor'' funny but more of a"constant (lo w | laugh" funny,which I personally think is moreentertaining.
- I have only one thing to sayabout this movie. If you get thechance to see it with someone youlove.Mdon't pass it up!;It's a greatdate movie.

Kate Bush is Backand even better...
By Garth M cCurdy WMCE music directorfGroup-Kate Bush $jAlbum-The Sensual World
Although womenin rock is nota new thing,women in progressiverockis a totally different story. PatBenetarand an assortment of othershave provenjthat men aren't theonly ones who can crank out thesame three chords with deafening
distortion and gravel assisted vo-cals, but progressive rock has pro-vided an awful hill to climb forwomen.
With the exception of LaurieAnderson, none have been able to4'run up that hill" with as muchsuccessj as Kate Bush, and hernewest release, The SensualWorld, won'tslow her progress.
Since the release of Th eHounds of Love (1985) and thegreatest hits collection,The WholeStory (1986),Kate*has remainedfairly quie t She wrote "ThisWoman's Work'* for the sound-track of the film She's Having aBaby (which appears on the new
album), andthe song "Don't GiveVP" with. Peter Gabrielofftoismulti-platnum record So .
The Sensual World begins with
a rather steamy title track and pro-gresses into a barrage of emotionsthatshe has such a great knack for.The Trio BuIgarka appearon threetracks and really make an impactWith sucha dominantvoice as thiswoman's, finding a compliment toback her up wouldbe as difficult astrying to match Bob Dylan's voice

Mercy hurst does not and willnot tolerate sexual harassment ofany kindby a member or membersof the faculty, administration, staffor student body.While Mercy hurstsubscribes to the federal and statelaws which declare sexual harass-mentto be unacceptable and illegalconduct, this policy.is also predi-cated on the moral truth that allindividuals are entitled to be treatedwith dignity and to be free fromunwelcome physical and verbalinstructions to their bodies and totheir minds.
Sexual harassmentis defined asany unwelcome direct or indirect

Informal and formal proce-dures - for i dealing3 with SexualHarassment
Assumptions and recommenda-tions: studies have shown that themajority of personswho haveexpe-rienced sexual harassment are un-comfortable with formal grievanceprocedures for numerous reasons:fear of retaliation if they do reportthe incident,fearsithat no one inauthority will believe them, fear thatthey have done something uncon-sciously to elicit the behavior, fearthat the offending person did notactually have'anything sexual inmindafter all,or fear that they willhave to personally confront theperceived harasser. For these rea-sons this institutionhas adopted aninformal, as well as formal, griev-ance procedure in hope that such aprocedure will encourage individu-als to report incidents of sexualharassment which they might nototherwise report if theformal proce-dure were the only recourse avail-able to them.
To insure continuedsupport andawareness of the Mercyhurst Sex-ual Harassment Policy and Griev-
ance Process, the following stepswill be taken: f1. The President of the institu-
tion will issue a strong policystate-ment-which indicates that sexualharassmentin any form will not betolerated.t 12.The sexual harassment pol-icy, and the informal and formalprocedures which accompany it,will be widely and repeatedly circu-lated/publicized. This is to insurethat alia members of the collegecommunity will be aware of boththe policy andthe support networkavailableto anyone desiring to usethe grievance process, f
3. At least twice a during theacademic year the Affirmative Ac-tion Officer of the college willschedule sexual harassment aware-ness workshops, lectures, or similaractivities to educate the collegecommunity. Informational materi-als concerning sexual harassmentwill be part of each orientation forincoming students, faculty andstaff. r I I
Preparation of resource personsdesignated as advocates: To dealwith cases ofsexual harassmentinan informal manner the followingsteps willbe implemented:
Affirmaticer will selectand designate certainindividuals tofwhom communitymembers may report incidents ofsexual harassment TheAffirmative
- #
Action Officer will also prescribetraining for these designated per-sons.These designees may includefaculty members,those working instudent affairs, or any others theAffirmative Action Officer deemsappropriate. It is important tochoose people whom individualswill feelcomfortable approaching-people whom individualscan trustIt is essential that the designees beperceived as credibleand commit-ted to
the welfare of those involved.2. Since harassed individualsare usually more comfortablespeaking with designees ofthe samesex, both sexes will be representedas advocates. However, since cur-rent statistics indicatejj that mostcases of harassment are reportedbywomen, the majority ofthe trainedadvocates will be women.5f andwhena new pattern ofneeds devel-ops, the pool of designeeswill pro-portionally reflect such changes.!
3. After training, the designeesshouldbe capable of establishing anonthreatening atmosphere. Per-sonsfeeling harassed must be ableto believe that such advocates.willfollow through in whatever waydetermined necessary to help. Atthe sametime, the designee shouldalso help to reduce fears of retali-ation.
4. Every effort mustbe made toprotect the confidentiality of allinvolved.
The Informal Grievance Proc-. ess:k 1. The informal process begins
when a person who feels harassedseekshelp.Whether through wordof mouth or published sources, theperson is referred\ to one of thedesignated advocates. The advocateassesses thesituation,and advisesthe person feeling, harassed. Theperson feeling harassed will begiven written information regard-ing internal and external timelines,statements of the right of thoseinvolved, and a description of op-tions available.
2. If the advocate and personfeeling harassed decidethat the situ-ationdoes not qualify asharassmentcan be substantiated, then the Af-firmative Action Officer is notified.In addition, the person feeling har-assed has the right to consult withthe Affirmative ActionOfficer even
if the advocate disagclaims ofsexual haras

Thanks must also go out tomanagers John Kleiner andDon Morrison whohelped theteams tremendously, beforeand after the games.
Senior Matt Triola com-mented. "We had a prettygood season,a!though it was alittle disappointing. We allthought we couldhave playeda little better. Things justdidn't always click. However,the last four years meant a lot
