"Sweet Sweetback's Baadasis Song", a flick shown at Mercyhurstlast Sunday night, set a record that most members of the Mercyhurstcommunity hope will navar be broken.

By the time the movie had been showing for forty minutes, It hadbean walked out on by nearly 200 confused, stunned, and otherwiseturned off moviegoers. j? S

It has been estimated that only fifty people taw the entire movieWhen if is taken into account that the Student Activities Committeespent $300.00 to rent the f i lm, it comet out to about 16 oo per person,even In these days of rip off film prices, such a figure Is unprecedented. j. j * I

I Things certainly aren't that bad/ film wise, at Mercyhurst. Thisweekend's selections will more than make up for the Sunday niqhtfiasco.

PAGE 2 MERCYHURST COLLEGE OCTOBER 11, 1974

Mercyhurstites unite! The administration haslaunched, a devious [campaign to convice theCollege that student grades are too high. '

The absolute nerve of anyone suggesting thatwe're dumber than we look is an insult. Regardless of national averages and criteria, to saythat Mercyhurst grades too liberally is a fallacy.How can one put a grade on creative insanity?

Fellow collegians, our 4-year retreat fromreality may be taken away from us. If this ideacatches on we may even have to study tograduate! I ..

What will become of the Tuesday-Wednesdayparties? What will be come of the Friday-Saturday-Sunday orgies? What kind of educationwill we receive? I .

Is it at all significant th at th^ paint is chipping

of f Garvey Park ?

Dear E ditor,As an incoming freshman. I

would / like to have a pointclarified on one aspect of Mercyhurst College, it was my understanding that M ercyhurst wa sa Catholic colleg e. Is this true?I The halls ' ar e 'flooded withposters advocat ing otherways (transcendental meditation,yoga, the eastern religions) toapproach God other than throughour one Lord Jesus Christ. Thesemedia can only drive people awayfrom God because al l truesalvation, wisdom. and peace arefound in Jesus Christ and in'him

alone.#

•<,' I cha l l enge the campusministry of Mercyhurst college toroot out these "abominations ofthe Lord" I , also, plead w ith theMercyhurst adminis trat ion toforbid these a ctivities on campus .And finally, I ask the students(who live and study on.thisChris t ian campus) to jo intogether and > avoid and evenprotest these activ ities w hich arefo-bidden by God. ^

Once again McAuley anticshave begun. . Howuproariously funny it is whenf ire alarms are pulled ,corridors $jare flooded andshaving cream lubricatesthe wa lls! McAuley woulddefinitely be the place tostudy human behavior.'TheState gave 18 year olds theright to vote because \vwasfelt that this 'group wereresponsible citizens that hadmatured to adulthood. If thisis m aturity, the College is introuble! Anyone who walks

through the halls of McAuleyon a weekend or Tuesdaynight knows the dorm isdefinitely a sight to be seen.

I can understand fun andpractical-.jokes. Sure, it isfunny to watch a * room ge tflooded with a garbage canof water., Yes, it is funny towatch * s ixteen kidsshowering each other with

cans of shaving cream.Students however shrug thenotion of immaturity fromtheir m inds.

Fun is fun. to a point: thenit become s dan gerous. Don'tpranksters realize the gradeschool prank of pulling firealarms costs in the neighborhood of five hundred dollarsfor one fire truck to roll.Every time the trucks move,the men''aboard risk'theirlives. Funny T I'm sure thefamilies of a possible'victimreally appreciate this form

of com ic relief!Think about it! I'm notsure some of us are asmature as we profess to be .

GIVE A DAMN!!

Hie scene was incredible -dozens of hot dogs and rolls,left over from the freshmanpicnic ; at Shade's Beach,l i t tered the Mercyhurstcam pus. It left me with a sadfeeling; I can't count thenumber of tim es that I haveseen a hungry mongrelsearch desperately ? for amorsel of food ... . . and what

about humans? ;Behold a starving littleboy! Would a little bit of dirtmatter, as his body scream sfor nourishment? Think ofyour mood when work isover. D on't you get ang ry, orimpatient, because you arehungry? But you know thatyou will soon have food! Thelittle boy never eats break-fast, lunch or supper. OnlyGod knows how he gets by.and at the same t ime, we,who are able to satisfy ourhunger and thirst, wastethousands of pounds of food,which collect ively , couldfeed millions!

The food that we wasteeverv day could be put to anynumber of uses - feedingpeople and anim als, or evenserving as organic fertilizer «

and at no extra expense toanyone. Organic wastes canbe ut i l ized; rabbits eatvegetable tops , let tuce,potato peelings; egg shell isan im portant source* ofcalcium; citrus peels can bemade into marmalade.

We, the plump and well-nourished, have no need toeat egg shells. So, we w astenature's l imited andprecious organic resources.and leave to the world andthe next generation a life ofs tarvat ion and - anguish.'What is life without food?Nonexistent I i

iT If a million Americanswasted a slice of bread,enough food would be wastedto have fed 200,000 peoplefive pieces of bread, andthere are 200.000 people onearth who would considerf ive s l ices of bread "afeast". But, alas, three timesa day, every day 15,000.000waste a slice of bread, apiece of chicken, somevegetables. *

Needless to say, foodsupplies are not in abundance. With each passingday, the world's reserves offood shrink. Therefore, oneshould learn and practice theart of utilizing "scraps" andminimizing food waste.Cooking; Juices are bothnutritional and precious;starch from potatoes,vegetable juices are alsouseful in everyday cooking.

In the name of'God andhumanity, try not to wastefood . Make that effort, forsomeday , your children maybe in the same position asthat starving little boy.

The waste of food i atMercyhurst angers mebecause somewhere - inIndia, in Africa, in the U.S.,or even inyour own locality,a human being is dying out ofthe need to eat some of thefood we waste by the ton.These people are at ourmercy, and it is up to us tomake our move.h Esther Marie Schreiber

Terry Dee's Rock 'n' RollCircus is J | coming , toErie on Thursday, October17, at 8:30 p.m. Theproduction will take place atGannon Auditorium, and isjointly sponsored by theStudent Activities Committees of Mercyhurst and

Gannon.All tickets for the event arepre-sale—on sale at the SACoffice. Pric e for the tickets is$1.00 for Mercyhurststudents, and $1.50 for non-Hurst students. Buses backand forth to Gannon will beprovided free.

Only a*limited number oftickets ar e ava ilable; to theRock: *n' Roll extravaga nza,so quick action is advised.

Terry Dee has been highlypraised wherever he hasgone with his very unusualshow, which includes Lase rs,Lights , Jugg ling J FlyingTrapeze, Synthesizers, andof course all of the big hits ofthe late 50's and early 60's.An evening Jof high-flyingentertainment is guaranteedfor all! *

I hope last .weeks recipe didn't discourage you. That recipe wasthe most difficult to master. This week by request' of the malereader s of the column the recipe will be much simpler Don't let thefancy name scare you-Escalloped potatoes, scalloped as vonu*neoole call them a re not to be confused w ith seal loos, the fish dish

The recipe is very easy so here goes! First take 4 medium sizepotatoes, about the size of a baseball. Cut away the skin and sliceinto very very thin slices about '*" thick, place in cooking pot andcover with w ater. Cook on top of'the stove till water boils . continuecookinj.; an additional 5 minutes. Drain water;

Take a baking dish at least big enough to hold 2' 2 quar ts. Coatwith mar garine. Place ' > of the potatoes in bottom of pan. Next mixtogether 2 tablespoons, (the big one,) of onion chopped into littlepieces. ' * can cream of mushroom soup, and ' 2 can cream of celerysoup. Us the soup straight from the can do not add water. '•„•teaspoon salt and '2 teaspoon pepper. Mix this all together, in abowl ;i! course. Pour '2 of this over potatoes in dish. Now put

remaining potatoes in the dish and pour on the rest of the soupmixture. Put in heated oven (350) covered up to keep it nice andwarm 10: 30 minutes. Remove the cover and cook an additional 15minutes or until a fork goes through the potatoes. Serve hot in thesam e dish it was baked in. ?

See that wasn't hard at all, you even save on dishes to clean thistime an extra bonus that I thought I'd throw in. \

Now don't let this simple recipe go to your head it's suppose to goto vour stomach.

If your wondering what to do with the rest of the soup you didn'tuse, just add '2 can of water to each and cook till hot. There youhave a luscious soup. My aren't you lucky today 2 count them 2recipes in one column. .

Well it's now time to get at it remember follow the directionsslowly and watch vour time when baking so you don't burn it.Carbon's good for the body but not always good for the taste buds.Happy Eating!

Intramural Footballby Nancy Willis, Joe Snyder, Bill Vernal

The outstanding game of theMercyhurst Football Leaguesthis-weekend was Latent Talent'svictory over the Ten Rats. Thewinners accomplished giving theTen Rats their first loss of theseason. Latent Talent's strongdefensive game cut off the TenRats passing gam e, limiting themto only two completions. The

highlight jj of Latent Talent'sdefense was Moon Ryan's fumblerecovery which he ran back for ascore. The laurels didn't just liewith the defense however. LatentTalent's offense also glowed.Glenn Caruso was a ble to p ass forthree touchdowns while runningfor two more, due* to offenseprotection against the powerfuldefensive line of Mike Cerbo andJimmy Hallamyer. Jimmy Prezshowed his running skill r bybreaking in for two scores, one ona; fine screen pass thrown byGlenn/Willy Tyler and JimmyGorndt pulled down two ofCaruso's flings. The unsung heroof the game was Bill "Slim"Toblin, who played consistently

both w ays.So far this Year, Latent Talent

has played the best football, theirrecord being 2-1. Their victorieswere by runaway scores and theironly loss coming a t the hands ofthe Mother Truckers by a 20-19score.

Team standings will appear inNext week's issue along with arun-down of this week's gam es.

One conflict that has occurredis the playe rs' discontent over thescheduling of {morning lgames.With three postponements landtwo forfiets out of six gamesscheduled before noon, it seemsearly games interfere withrecovery of the preceding night'sactivities. By intervering withCrew Team practices, this early

scheduling also leaves the gamespoorly staffed. Three of the fourpeople who help run these game sare on Crew, and last w eek's TenRats-Latent Talent game was aprime example of this conflict.Bill "Montour" Vernal ended%up

doing the entire set-up alone,which includes running the clock,keeping track of downs, lining thefield, taking care of equipment,let alone reffing the game.

As of now, the remainder of theschedule stands as : ^ ^ S f ^^Wednesday, October 9—1 p.mCherrie Chompers vs. Chuck U.Farlies; 2 p.m. E xcelsior vs.Daffy Dup. t - O 5 3„Saturday, October 12—10 a.m.

Hurst Tours And Tramples Canadaby Garret Kenilworth, J r.

The M ercyhurst College V arsity Tennis team successfully defeated four Canadian challengers fataddition to Geneseo Stale College of N.Y. as it completed its fall schedule during the first week ofOctober. i

The first stop on the Canadian tou r was Die University of Waterloo, Ontario who provided no opposition as the Hurst routed them IO-O. '. £

Leading the way for the Lakers w as Ricky Kobleur who lost only 3 games total in a singles anddoubles match . : \

After the ma tch with Waterloo, the team moved on to McMaster University in Hamilton, O ntario.Here the players were greeted with an on-campus bar with live entertainment. After relaxing for ashort time they were housed that night by gracious Canadian families. Unfortunately for the

Canadians, the players said thanks by topp ing Mac Master 4-2 even with the top 3 L aker playerssidelined to give the players lower down the ladder good experience. ; .From Hamilton the {letters' next stop was Western University in London, Ontario, almost directly

across from Erie. \Here the L akers expected strong opposition from Western University who were the 1973 Canadian

College runnerups and possessed a strong line-up this yea r a s well. At no. 1 for Western was GraemeDuff who was the no. 2 ranked Canadian in 21 and under singles in 1973. .

John Voikos gave a good account of himself in losing a tough 6-3,6-7,6-2matchwith Duff.At no. 2, Bill Byron played brilliant in defeatingJohn Turner the Ontario 21 and under champion by *

score of 6-4.7-6. . |In the no. 3 match . Richard Birmingham outsteadied a former Canadian Jr . Davis Cupper in a lonr

6-4,6-4 encounter. .. * >After no. 3 the Laker depth proved too much for Western as Kobleur, Barry B arth and Jim Hagg all

notched easy victories. The two teams split the 2 remaining doubles matches and the Lakers walkedaway with an impressive 6-2 victory. The spirit of the team at this point was sky-high and it carriedover the next day in Toronto where the team met the defending Canadian Collegiate tennis champions.Juft two years ea rlier the Lake rs had suffered an emba rrassing 9-0 whitewash at the hands ofToronto. Now against a Toronto team which was as strong as the team 2 years ago the Hurst hadsomething to prove. They did just th at! Not only did they beat Toronto but they reversed the score oftwo years p ast as they whipped through to a 9-0 victory.

Everyone gave an excellent performance for Mercyhurst. To ce lebrate, the team toured Torontofor a few ho urs, thenprepar ed itself for the trip to New York.

? That night the squad left Canada to journey to Geneseo St. College in New York. The players werevery impressed with the Canadian hospitality and were disappointed to leave the country.The last m atch on the trip against Geneseo State proved to be a laugher as the Lakers w altzed to a 9

0 victory while losing only 6 gam es i n the process.The team now was eager to return home again after the successful trip and resume with their

studies. %:, i* '•£*" ? i ?
