Check Cashing Service BouncedCheck cashing may pose aproblem for Mercyhurst studentsthis year as Burhenn's Pharm acyrecently announced that it wasgoing to alter the services to thecollege. 'In a phone conversation withCarl Burhenn, one of the phar-macy's proprietors, THEMERCIAD was informed about arash of bad checks which hadbeen proffered at the pharmacyduring the 1978-79 academic year.At one point during the pastschool year the checks drawnupon insufficient funds exceededthe approximate figure of $800.With the help of Mercyhurst the

local pharmacy has been able tobring the bad check total to $327.In an attempt to avoid suchincidents from happening again,Burhenn's has announced that itwill no longer honor checks madeby Hurst students for cash. Thepharmacy will, however, honorchecks for purchase. In addition,students will be able to cashchecks for the amount of $10above purchase price."We still are going to be as niceas we can to Mercyhurststudents," said Burhenn. "It'sjust that we can't afford to holdbad checks for so much money."

MSG Sets Largest Budget Ever; Mercyhurst Student Govern-ment Monday will get in almostunaltered form a $60,000preliminary budget jthat is thelargest in the college's history.In a meeting Tuesday af-ternoon, officials of MSG andStudent Activities Committee(SAC) mad e only two changes ina preliminary budget drawn upover the summer by? TreasurerJim Bolger. ; Ip MSG representatives can stillamend the budget at the firststudent government meetingMonday, Sept. 17, at 4 p.m. inZurn 114. - .Because of a; $15 boost in thestudent government ?fee 'andrecord freshman enrollment,MSG!this year could have asmuch as $73,500 to-work with,Bolger said. He is now figuring $68,500. Butbecause the extra $15 will not becollected until Mercyhurst'ssecond billing period, the finaltotal will depend on the numberof students who register winterterm< ?The budget MSG will vote onMonday- now calls for ex-penditures of $62,570, including(wo additions made Tuesday.Student Activities Director JanGatti said Bolger estimated toolow the cost of the annual senior

class dinner and , the cost ofprinting the college yearbook.The senior class dinner budgetwas raised $500 to $2,500. Bolgeroriginally guessed set aside$3,000 for the yearbook, but Gattisaid the latest bid i from apublisher j ; was < $4,700.

The senior class dinner[ ac-tually ran over $2,800 last year,but student officials are con-sidering plans that wouldchange the format.* traditionalformat and possibly cut costs.Gatti said she will meet withstudent organizers of the dinner,Polly Koch and Amy McNicholas,to talk about possibly holding thedinner ^off campus on a weeknight. " **Koch reportedly did asurvey whicn -shows studentswant the dinner to be held oncampus. But the charge for acafeteria dinner catered bySAGA Foods rose from $7 to $8.25last year and probably will go(o $9 this year, Gatti said.Saying it would be unfair tothrow the question open to a voteat the first MSG meeting, Gattisaid she would instead meet withKoch and McNicholas to checkprices for I meals and dancebands. -h * "% $HLinda J. Ravenshtahl, vicepresident of SAC and editor of thecollege yearbook, was to meetThursday with Tom Chaffee ofHerff-Jones Co., a yearbookDublisher. \r Other than 1* change sfor - the dinner and yearbook, the 10 stude nt officialsmeeting Tuesday had no ob-jections to Bolger's preliminarybudget. > Ii "You seem to have anticipatedjust about any expenses we mightincur," said Jim DiSanti,president of SAC,The budget that will go to MSGMonday is divided into two parts.

SAC, the standing committee ofMSG that organizes most studentevents, has been budgeted for$20,500. MSG itself gets the rest,some $42,070. " 1SAC expenditures include$6,000 for the Student Union,$3,000 for concerts, primarily inthe G rotto , $2,000 for coffeehouseacts, $1,300 i for movies,$1,200 for buses to carry studentsto different events throughout theyear and $1,000 each for picnicsand "get- togethers" af localclubs.The coffeehouse schedule hasbeen greatly scaled down,although money spent on cof-feehouse acts will be about thesame as last year.Shows will be held once a terminstead of every other week. Also,Gatti said, a two-night showcaseor-' variety show of the mostpopular acts of past years hasbeen scheduled for January.MSG expenses are' $12,500 forfestivals, $6,000 for movies, $4,170for late bills for last year'syearbook and $4,700 for the up-coming yearbook.Also, $2,500 each for campusclubs, officer j salaries, Father-Daughter dinner and senior classdinner. ~JAnd $1,500 each for picnics and"get-togethers," $1,000 for officerexpenses, $800 for. graduation and$600 each for gifts and the auditfee. fBolger); said last yea r's MSGhad $13,000 left over but late billshave eaten away all but $4,000 ofthat.(Continued on Page 8)

Intersession Offers New ProgramsMercyh urst's 1979 Intersessionprogram is offering two ex-perience oriented courses.Dr. Micheal Erisman (PoliticalScience Department) Is currentlyorganizing a study tour of Cuba.Arrangements ar e being m ade

for visits to housing projects,universities, urban medicalclinics, and rural farmincommunitites Seminars witluniversity faculty and students,Ministry of Health Officials, andMinistry of Educa tion officialsare also planned.Participation can be oni acredit-bearing or non-creditbearing basic Credit will begiven to students registering forDr. Erisman's Intersession cour-se on the Cuban Revolution,These students have firstpriority for spaces on the tour.However, there may be spacesavailable for individuals in-terested in the tour and not theentire Intersession course, The estimated cost for the tour

is $550-600 per person. This pricecovers the basic expenses of airfare,, transportation in Cuba,lodging, and 3 meals per day.iltl is not necessary to speakSpanish since a bilingual guidewill be provided. English is alsothe second language of Cuba.Dr. Erisman is confident .thatthe tour win be an exciting, highquality educational experience.Mercyhurst's Cuban StudyTour is a first for the Erie area.No other local group, student orotherwise, has undertaken such avisit to Cuba.Anyone interested in par-ticipating .. should contact Dr.Erisman (116 Preston Hall, Tel.Ext. 255> as soon as possible. Thedeadline for contacting him isOctober 1. 'Another highlight of Inter-session 1979 will be the BasicFrench I course, which plans tocombine Mercyhurst's teachingtalents with the Gannon

Language Labs. ,,The course, whose goals are thefast development to speakingskills and comprehensive skills ina foreign language, will be taughtin the accelerated primat. .The first hour and a half ofclass will be conducted at Mer-cyhurst.

A Pew WordsIn 1920, fund rai sins took placefor the construction of a new wingfor St. Joseph's Academy andConvent in Titusville. As analternate choice Th e Sistersdiscussed th e possibility offounding a college.The late Bishop Gannonthought the latter idea had somemerit. He suggested that TheSisters found a college in Erie,Pennsylvania. In 1922, Th eSisters of Mercy began theirsearch for a site in the Erie area.It ^ was not long before theyfound J what they wanted. OnSeptember 30,1922, The Sisters ofMercy purchased 75 acres of landin the southeastern part of thecity for the sum of $51,000. ^From here The Sisters engagedthe services > of FerdinandDurang an architect fromPhiladelphia. His job would be todraw up the plans for the newcollege building. i| The plans were drawn up and amodel of the new building wa sbuilt. Both the*plans and themodel were closely scrutinizedby The Sisters. In 1924 the planswere approved, and on Sep-tember 8th of the J same yearground was broken to initiate theconstruction of MercyhurstCollege.Construction of the newbuilding ! proceeded throughoutDuring the latterlpart of

that year the cornerstone of thebuilding was laid. Everythingappeared to be going according toplan. r *C o n s t r u c t i o n c o n t i n u e dthroughout 1926 as the buildingneared completion. However, onAugust 4th a construction striketook place, leaving the interior ofthe college building Just short ofcompletion. :With only two weeks remainingbefore classes were to begin, TheSisters took matters into theirown hands. Assuming the roles oftheir male counterparts, TheSisters of Mercy went to work,finishing the interior of thebuilding themselves.On September 7, 1926, Mer-cyhurst College opened its doorsas an institution of highereducation. Of course, there werestudents to join in the celebrationof the inaugural academic year.The opening enrollment consiste dof 19 freshmen an d foursophomores. ^jjj Fifty-three years later Mer-cyhurst College once again opensits doors to those studentsseeking a college -education.Although the school J has * ex-perienced considerable * growthsince its beginning, it hasretained the intimacy native to asmall liberal arts college.Hopefully, it will continue to doso. y > ; -s

$!o i S M i O U sThis morning I sat at my kit-chen table gulping black coffee ina belated attempt to exorcise thespirits of last night's JackDaniel's from my brain. *Having downed two and onehalf cups of caffeinated i holywater, and at last coming aroundto a state somewhat reminiscentof sobriety, I went to my bookcase in search of somestimulating reading material, iiI w a s after something inparticular; a volume of Ten-nyson's poems which I foundrecently at a library book sale.The book was published in 1870and had acquired, over thesehundred and nine years since itsprinting, the wonderfully eruditemustiness of aging paper. - .I-* As it is, fading leather bindingsand gilt lettering nearly send meinto an ecstatic swoon, but thisvolume had an added bonus.When I first purchased the bookand opened the cover to check thedate of publication, I was elatedto find a neatly folded newspaperclipping dated January 5, 1870.The clipping contained a workof Tennyson's that I had neverseen before, a poem called "TheGolden Supper . Before I get intoa discussion of this mysteriouspoem, let me explain a littleabout TennysonJust as an aside.In his day, Tennyson was arevered man, "The Lord OfLanguage" he was called. I mustadmit, the old boy turned outquite a few masterpieces. Itreally is a shame he's not readmuch any more .,/ *y* jWe sometimes quote hi mwithout realizing it though. Howoften, for example, in the-throesof love's misery, do we tellourselves,"Tis better to haveloved and lost than never to haveloved at all". Everyone's heardthis^ maxim but seldom does"anyone acknowledge Tennysonas it s originator.Those lines are taken from his"In Memoriam A H H ", alutiful elegy which Tennysonwrote for his friend Arthor Ha 11anFrom another of Tennyson'sworks, "Ulysses", we may recallthe brave words, "TO strive, toseek, to find, and not to yield. 0Somehow,) that line alwaysreminds me of Captain Kirk andthe Stars hip Enterprise, (boldlygoing whore no man has gonebefore.) *In 1850, the same year "In

Memoriam" w as published.Tennyson w a s made PoetLaureate. It seems that shortlythereafter, Lord Tennyson lost alittle of his way with words. On emight surmise that success hadgiven him to resting onS hisLaureals. Whatever the reasonfor it , Alfred slipped intosomewhat'forgettable poetry. Isuspect that it was during thisperiod of Tennyson's otherwisemagnificent career that "TheGolden Supper" was created.The poem is an enigma. I can'tfind it in any collection of Ten-nyson's works. I.suppose I shallnever know exactly, how thenewspaper came to print it; itreally is not a > very ? inspiringpiece of literature. *It is Tennyson however, and asI've said, he . was the PoetLaureate. So, I imagine the thinggot into print Just because Alfredwas a celebrity. .Anyway, opinions aside,real reason I ihad pulled thebook and its treasured clipping

COLUMN

REBECCA L.MASTINThe arrival of freshmen girlson campus is an event an-ticipated by many of the girls andupperclass men. The men areanxiously awaiting fresh game,while the girls dream of beingdate bait. However,,not everyfreshmen is unaware of themale's various social techniques,and many girls are able tocounteract those methods.There is a blatant lack oforiginality in many of the linesused by the average male. Hedoes not want to watch waterwhen he asks if you have seen thepond. jOne can be relatively sure it'snot the typewriters he wants tocheck-out when he calls at 12:05a.m. to ask if you would like totour the newspaper office. jObviously these lines areleading up to "something." Mymother repeatedly warned me,before I left home for college, notto be led into "something/' Herreasoning being that I woulddevelop an easy reputation whichwould shadow me the rest of mynatural life. jjA girl should constantly be onher guard. I remember sitting ona folding chair during a partyshortly after my arrival atcollege. I sat with my skirt fallingdecorously about me, drinkingwhat I believed to be green kool-aid (it was actually grainalcohol). jr^:Some time later, my anklesbegan to experience the sensationof tongue against flesh. Ihesitantly lifted the edge of myskirt to discover an alcoholicpuppy. One should also be waryof pets. J tt'1^SiasllotjUaSm

Another thing to remember isnever to sit on a waterbed,especially when your equilibriumis questionable.Absolutely never say "Really?"or "Uh-Uh!" to a man claimingto have naked skin under histoga. ~There are a number of methodswhich can be used to combat themale's system of "seduction."One method is the air-head orspace cadet routine. Thissometimes fails because the malebelieves the girl is too stupid tounderstand what is going on. Youare in for some fun if the firstmethod fails. r

The diseased skin option is thenext method. This requires thegirl to scratch herself vigorouslyin socially unaccepatable places.Then she should explain that theitch is contag ious,* but meshouldn't worry because itdoesn't bother her.As a last/resort there is theobnoxious m anners' technique.This method is open to theimagination. Some options are:drooling jucilly. defla tulating,then pretending he did; snortingloudly while laughing; andpicking imaginary insects offyour body, i iU you are a shy person, and donot want to get involved at all,there is a sure-fire way to preventany male from ever asking aboutyou again. *< JSimply clasp his hand firmlythe first time you are introduced,smiling warmly when he says hisname, then reply, still main-taining that iron-clad grip, "Hi!I'm a leper!"

Apparently, in t an attempt toraise the Merciad to new heightsof greatness, Editor SteveFrisina has begged me to sharemy state of enlightenment withthe Mercyhurst Community.While my native humilitystrongly militates against takingthe spotlight for even thebrightness or duration of aMerciad column, it's a case of"noblesse oblige", (look it upunderclass persons), so I will tryonce again to bring harmony tothe chaos of the universe.Before I begin, I think it im-portant that you know a littleabout the author. I am a rapidlyaging, youngish minded personwho refuses to let g o of questionswhich first possesed me when Iwas a child. Questions like, "Whyam I here, now, when I could Justas easily been someone else, insome other place, at some othertime. (I'm sure my parents, onoccasion, expressed a similarwonder about me). Others like,"Why is anything?" or "Is therea 'reason' for my existence or amI really Just the accident ofrandom probabilities?" or "Domy actions matter?" or "Do Ihave any responsibility to theuniverse?" or "Do I have adestiny beyond the grave?" or"Is there a God?" or "Does Godlove me?"And as I observe myself moredeeply, I seem to find that notonly do I ask strange questionslike that but my very existenceseems to be a question crying outfor an answer. .I can sympathize very stronglywith Virginia Woolf, the poet,who kept asking again and againas she lay dying, "What is theAnswer? What is the Answer?" Ithink she*spoke for^the whole

human race. I cannot sympathizewith her best friend, Alice B.Toklas, who consoled her not atall by saying, "Virginia, there isno answer. & IAlice represents the strongestintellectual current of our time,which has concluded that theanswers to the biggest questionscan't be known, let's Just ignorethem. But old Virginia wasn'tdead yet .. With her dying breathshe was still able to ask, "Well,then, what's the Question?"Personally, I refuse to submitto the widespread attitude thatthere is no knowable answer tothe questions I was able to askwhen I was a child. That's adogma I reftise to believe. In thisI choose to bea skeptic, a rebel. Irefuse to let my mind lie downand die before most interestingquestions of all.I will not succumb to what hasbeen called an enlightenmentfundamentalisim or bow to ascientism or relativism whichhas been elevated to a religion. Iwill not be mystified by the newmyths.I used to think it was funny thatanyone could ever have believedthat the world was carried onupon the shoulders of mightyAtlas who stood on a pedestalsupported by four elephants whostood on the backs of four turtleswho swam on some mysterioussea. Now I find myself w onderingwhat is the origin of the newlydiscovered 'gluon' which holdstogether the quarks which makeup the atoms of the molecules ofthe wood in the chair on which Isit. It is the ultimate questionswhich fascinate me the most. AndI think I know a good answer tothem . . . And it makes me i tlaugh. * * * * * '
