The authorities also found a handgun on his person according to Dever.

Dever added that he also believes thata second person was involved becauseall of the items were carried down fromthe third loorrooms and stacked in frontof the north van door.This door is controlled by a magneticlockwhich the alleged perpetrators couldnot get open," Dever stated. "The indi-vidual or individuals only got a Sharptypewriter out of the building."

Security installs surveillance camerasBy Joseph LeglerEditor in ChiefMercyhurst Colleg e has recently signeda contract with Amper Security out ofPittsburgh for the installation of 16 sur-veillance cameras at various'locationscovering the open areas of the campus.'There has been a lot of pie-publicityabout this," said Bud Dever, director ofsecurity. "However, the contracts havejust been signed. The bottom line wasgetting the proper inancing orthe cam-eras.The cameras will provide the collegewith the opportunity to improve securityand reduce vandalism, according toDever. They will not be placed In resi-dence halls. They may be placed in areassuch as : 1) The front of Old Main, 2) theback of Zurn, 3) Garvey Park, 4) parkinglot areas, 5) the front of the Union andRec. Center, 6) the back of McAuleyHall, 7) the Mother House, 8) theMercyhurst high-school, 9 ) the area be -tween the college and the mother houseand 10) Briggs Avenue where vandal-ism has already occurred.

The cameras will visually monitor andrecord 16 sights at one time. There willbe a control center, which consists offour monitors (each with four individualouadrants on irt located in the basement

of Preston Hall.The cameras have several capabilities."They can even produce a picture of anindividual," said Dever.

According to Dev er, if an inci-dent is discovered, they can go back andreview the tapes and possibly get a pho-

tograph of a perpetrator or even a licenseplate number.Dever called the equipment "invalu-able" for the protection of students andtheir vehicles."Every orientation I get questions fromparents about camera s.They worry aboutthe safety of their daughters walkingacross campus late at night," said Deve r."This year, we w ill be able to say 'yes,we have them* and even show them aspart of our orientation." jThe acquisition of the cameras willContinued on page 2

Everything OnMy MindBy Anne L. McNeilsA &E an d Features Editor

I've decided to turn o ver a new leaf with this column. Well, I'monly going to turn it over a little bit Instead of only filling it withcomplaints, I'm go ing to say something positive. I am going to dosome complainingI don't think I'm mentally able to write unlessI do. | ;Since I came to college, I've learned some thingsI wouldn't goso far as to sa y I've learned a lot o fthings, bu t defini tel y some things.Some of what I've learned is academic, some of it is a little morepractical. (You know, I've heard that all this learning stuff has to dowith growing up or something like that. I could be wrong, though.)Anyway, one of the things I've started to learn about is moneyspecifically, how to be at least a little more careful not to waste toomuch of it Since I'm becoming more aware of how I spend mymoney and what I spend it on, I've begun to notice when money isbeing wasted. One place where I havenoticed money w asted is righthere on our very own college campusti I suppose some of you areshocked by this revelation, but I've heard enough people talkingabout how money is spent around here to know I'm not alone infeeling this way .I realize that some of the expensive things the college purchases arenecessary. New computers, keeping the buildings sanitary and thegrounds safethese areall important and the college has to providethem. I'm not arguing with that. My argument is with some of thecompletely useless waste that goes on around here.Every night, we can watch the security forces drive their swankynew vehicle up and down Briggs Avenue and around campus. I

realize, of course, that they need to patrol the campus and make sure"all is well/' butthis seems to be an awful waste of gas and hence,money. I wonder if they looked carefully for a vehicle with good gasmileage...I wonder if they've ever tried to come up with alternativemeans of patrolling the-campus (let's say, just for argument'ssakewalkingaround in shifts or something like that).When I was younger, my dad would always lecture us aboutturning off lights and keeping the heat low"I don't own theelectric company!" Apparently, the person in charge of electricityhere never heard this. The lights outside the Mercy apartmentbuildings are on all the timeeven when the sun is shining!This afternoon, I walked out of a classroom in Old Main. While Iwas in the room, I was perfectly comfortable because the windowswere open and the room was at a respectable temperature. W henclass was over and I walked out into the hall, it was so hot, I felt likeI was w alking into a wall. I have heard many others remark abouthow high the heat is in Old Main. I realize that here in Erie, we arefar from being in a warm climate, but I don't likenot knowing howto dress for class in the middle of winter.Perhaps we need to consider turning down the heat in Old Main andsetting the lights outside of Mercy on a timing system of some sortI could go on for pages and pages about the instances of waste o nthis campus. Don't get me wrong, I know that in certain ways, weneed to spend money on these thing s. But it sometimes seems thatthis wastefulness is costing M ercyhurst more than just extra cash.By spending money on things we don't need, we could be sacrific-ing a lotI don't even want to propose anything so radical as cutting thesecosts out and lowering tuitionI may be a little idealistic at times,but I'm not stupid. I really justwant to suggest spending the moneyin more worthwhile ways, such as on teachers' salaries or onfinancial aid.Now, we have come to the positive part of the column. I imaginemany of you have seen the hockey team's newjackets!When I firstsaw them, I decided that they 're pretty nice and I didn't really thinkabout them anymore. Then I heard (from a very reliablesource) howmuch they cost I figured that the jackets had been pa id for out of thehockey team *s budget (which of course comes from our tuition) andI was not happy! In tact, I was going to devote this whole column toblasting the amount of money sports programs spend on unneces-sary things/But, at the suggestion of my wise editor, I called thehockey office and found out that the hockey players purchased thoseshiny new jackets with their very own pocket money!It seems that other groups can learn from the hockey)team'sexample. The Admissions Ambassador Club is going to purchase$200 w ool blazers for use at functions. I'll grant that these blazershave to be returned at the end of the year, but it seems blazers couldhave been found at a lower costMaybe that's just wishful thinking...

Shoe GazingBy David McQuillenMerciad Staff Columnist

I can't talk any more. As amatter of fact, I wonder if levelcould and if I ever will. Actu-ally, I suppose that I can speakbut I certainly can't do it welland if the si tu a don arises, I wouldprefer thatwe don't have a con-versation. Unle ss, of course,the TV ison. And this, youknow,is the reason that neither you nor I have noticed how quiet it is aroundhere, how little we say to each other, for conversation is dead unlesscarried upon the background noise of television.I've wondered what it would be like to live in the past, say just 100years ago, when television wasn't around, when the only form ofentertainment between friends was conversation. Relying on wit,intelligence and interest, you and I and any others with us would sitaround the table and we would talk with each other.And we w ouldn't just talk, butwe would tell stories. And we wouldchallenge each other in arguments with skills honed in conversationbattles of thepast. You'd tell jokes, we'd laugh and tell our own.Nothing but ourown voices tofill he silent gaps in the evening. Andfrom the kitchen table at your house to a cafe in Paris to a bar downthe street, people around the world would be doing the same.I wonder if any of us would survive such a time. Products of aninformation age where everything comesinto our ears and very littleof significance leaves our mouths, I imagine that we would beverbally torn apart in the early minutes ofany conversation with our

ancestors. Either that orwe would bore them to death, unable to talkin an interesting manner and unable to interest them.Maybe you could do it. Maybe you sit down with your roommatesevery night and have some great talks, some great discussion andsome good laughs, unconsciously training your conversationalskills. And maybe when you meet strangers, you can speak withease, finding common topics and enthusiastically tackling them.Smooth and effortless conversation, without any of those awkwardquiet moments where you struggle for somthing to say. But I doubtit. We just haven't been trained for thatThe conversations occuringin most apartments here on campus have an extra speaker: TheTelevision. *And there we sit in the living room. Asking each other howwe aretndthen stopping without something else to say. We look to theTVto break the silence and it does. It takes the struggle for words from

us and provides us with pictures and sounds to fill tour emptyconversation. So we have lost the chance to really talk. The TV isalways in the background and it will talk for us. Perhaps we w illoffer our fuzzy thoughts about the subjects on the screen. Perhapswe'll even argue about them. But our skills in this arena are at bestattmtPiir anH en uw an hark to the mediator, the TV. How sad.Wh at would w e do without it?

But the awkwardnessOfthe quiet may be too muchtLet's do it slowly.

Redcliff rocks HurstBy Lou ViselliMerciad Contributing Critic *If you happened to walk throughthe Union last Friday, Jan 8 be-tween 7 and 9 p .m., you had thepleasure of listening to Redcliff;if not, you missed an excellentshow. Redcliff consists of twoguitarists, a bass guitarist, and adrummer. If you're not new toMercy hurst, you m ight know thatRedcliff is not either. They haveplayed here for the past threeyears.Their show included songs frombands such as Crosby, Stills andNash, The Ea gles, Am erica, andNeil Young, not to mention the

Carlie Brown theme song and ahumorous rendition of "Big Bot-toms" by Spinal Tap. They alsoplayed many requests as well as afew of their own songs.Their brilliant vocal harmonieswere prominent in songs like TheEagles' "Seven Bridges Road"and Extreme's "Hole Hearted."Itwas clear that their was no leaderin the band as three of the fourperformers took a turn at leadvocals. The bassist also put in hisshare of backup vocals which in-cluded a wincing scream.What makes Redcliffsuch a greatband is their "amazingly tight

sound. The three guitars were sotogether that it sounded as if theywere being played by one person.The drummer provided a potentrhythm to accompany the guitars.Such a great blend of instrumentsis hard to achieve; this is whatmakes being a good bandso diffi-cult.There's a difference betweenplaying alone and playing with

Redcliff shares some of their musical talent during theirperformance in the Union on Friday, Jan. 8. Photo by Beth Haasthree other people. Song aftersong, it seemed as if each oneknew what the other three werethinking. This was evident whensomeone yelled out a request forThe Grateful Dead . Without say-ing a word to each other, theybegan to tune their instruments.They each seemed to be playingtheir own thing when suddenly itevolved into the Dead classic"Franklin's Tower."They also displayed their talentby adding a unique dimension to"Hotel California''. There aren'ttoo many bands like Redcliffaround today. Much of the musictoday,consists of synthesizersand drum machines. Many peopledon't like, or even know, half ofthe songs thatRedcliff performed.They are obviously a band whoplays the music they enjoy with-out submitting to the temptationsof using, moderail nnovations.There is no substitute for a twelve

string acoustic guitar or a real setof drums. Despiteknowing there'snot a great demand for their kindof music, they continue to pla y.It was clear they had a great timeplaying here at Mercyhurst be-cause they played for a full twohours and 15 minutes. That's whatthe music is all about to them, andthey should be congratulated forthat. The modern trends in musictoday are not necessarily bad, butif you want to play acoustic mu-sic, that's what you should play.Redcliffplays the music they grewup listening to, and they play itvery well. Their show wasexcit-ing and filled with energy as theyplayed many .all-time favorites.Their level of talent combinedwith the feeling they put into themusic produced a very enjoyableand entertaining acoustic show.I'm looking forward to seeingRedcliff here again next year.

a new single game scoring recordby Laker forward Rashe Reviere.Reviere's 44 points eclipsed JohnGreen's mark of 42 set in 1983

against Mansfield University.Asked about the new record,Reviere said, "It felt pretty good ,but I took too many shots."Reviere's 35 shots also set a recordforemost shots attempted in agame. "I'mJ probably going tobreak it (the record) again/' saidReviere. Reviere pulled down 14rebounds, including nine rom heoffensive glass. In his best all-around game of the season,Reviere also dished out five as-sists, blocked four shots and hadthree stea ls.A feverish pace was set by bothteams from the start. The Lakersraced toan early 17-12 lead, pacedby two three-pointers rom KerryBaker. The Warriors quickly wen t

on a 6-0 run to take their irst eadat the 10:06 mark of the irsthalf.The Lakers took a 38-35 leadwith over two minutes to play inthe first half, before a defensivelapse allowed the Warriors to take

a 41-3 8 lead into the locker room.Warriors Jeff Macko and JoeWilliams had steals on consecu-tive plays to give East Stroudsbuigthe halftime lead.The W arriors came out strong inthe second half, building a 50-42lead. A three-pointer by Revierekeyed a 10-2 Laker run that pulledthe Hurst even at 52-52.The lead changed hands numer-ous times in the second half, butwith 1:45 to play, the Lakers hada 71-6 7 lead. Terry Bush steppedto the free throw line for the Lak-ers with a chance to ice the vie- dominated play, outscoring East

In the first overtime, the War-riors built a four point lead, be-fore Reviere tied the game at 79-79 with 0:20 to go. Both teamshad a chance to win but could notconvert,* forcing a second over-time.It appeared as if the Warriorswould win in the second OT, butBaker's steal and lay up after EastStroudsbuig 's point guard trippedtied the game once again at 84-84forcing the record third overtime.Fatigue set in for the Warriors inthe third overtime, as the Lakers

victory was the pla y off he benchof Tony Redding. Redding scored12 points on four of five shootingand pulled down eight rebounds.Redding filled in after JamieHouston fouled out in the second

tory. Bush missed both freethrows, which a l lowed EastStroud sburg to tie the game at 71-71, sending the contest into thefirst overtime.Poor ree hrow shooting plaguedthe Lakers in regulation. TheLakers hit only 12 of 2 3 from theline, including 7 o f 16 in the cru-cial second half.

The Mercyhurst hockey teamentered the Wisconsin Stevens-Point games over the Christmasbreak w ith a chance to earn som erespect romone of Division III'stoughest hockey teams. Leftwinger Rob Madia led the Lakercharge as he complied six pointsin the two-game series, handingthe Pointers of Wisconsin theirGrst defeat in 22 regular seasongames.

The Grand Island, New York,native earned Eastern CollegeAthletic Conference West Pla y er-of-the-Week for his efforts. WithMadia's production, Mercyhurstsplit the series. The Hurst won theopener 5-1 but dropped the sec-ond game 10-7 to the secondranked Divis ion III hockey team.According to Head Coach RickGotkin, itwa s definitely a big winfor the team. He said, "Wiscon-sin, in the last four years, has wonthree national championships andone runner-up. They just don'tlose in their building , so it worked

out well. It is a great win for usbecause they have a good hockeyteam."Despite Madia's performance inthe opener, the difference Fridaynightwas clearly theplay of goalieMirko Pellizzari who stopped 43shots in the victory. His shutoutbjd was ruined by Frank Cironemidway through the second pe-riod, yMercyhurst had no such troublefinding the net as Madia, BryceBohun, Craig MacDonald, KevinMcKinnon and Tom DeCoteauhad single goals. .With Madia'sgoal and two assists combinedwith Saturday's game, he movedinto fifth place on the Lakers all-time scoring list with 50 careergoals.Madia opened the scoring forthe Lakers with a short-handedgoal in the first period.MacDonald and Tom Viola eachpicked up assists. Madia would

also figure intwo other goals. TheGrst was on B ohun's goal in thefirst period. This would prove tobe the eventual game winner, put-ting the Hurst up 2-0. Followingthe third Laker tally, Madia as-

sisted McKinnon's eleventh ofthe year in the second period.After the first Mercyhurst vic-tory, the Lakers enteredSaturday's game with a renewedconfidence. Wisconsin, howeverwas not impressed. The Pointersblitzed Mercyhurst for ten goal s.Despite Pellizzari Js return ingoaland 32 saves, Wisconsin seemedto find a weakness.The Laker offense tried to keepup with the Pointers, but its sevengoals were not enough. Theamount of goals was not indica-tive
