By Chris Settlemire* The Mercyhurst StudentGovernment voted Monday torecognize the Campus EquityGroup (CEG). After minutes ofdeliberation the group was votedin with all but one in favor.Deliberation concerned the

purpose of the group, "CEG'spurpose is parallel < to that ofMSG," Rich Lanzillo, Vice-president of MSG stated. M aree-Lynn Cicon and Bruce Miller,CEG'S co-chairpersons spoke inbehalf of the group. "They are notparallel/' Miller explained,"CEG offers help in areas whereMSG can't."Last week the club was told tochange their title or constitutionand the- new constitution was

Presented. Lanzillo remarkedowever, "Your purpose is toobroad, you really have no definitebounds." Student Senator BonnieJames responsed, "I don't thinkit's necessary to actuallv defineour duties," she continued, "theidea is needed and will functionaccording to circumstances."A notion was made to amendthe purpose of CEG as solutionsof inequity on a non-sexualbasis. Government passed themotion with one opposed .votef rom Chris topher Meyers ,Geology representativeJ 2 *

I Also on the agenda, Lanzillospoke on representatives for nextyear. Elections will be held May13 and 14 for all majors. The ques-tion of next year's new majors

Named As Football HeadquartersThe basement of Baldwin Hallhas been named as a tentativesite for the football programheadquarters, said head Foot-ba 11 Coach Tony DeMeo. The new facility will house ameeting room, a weight trainingroom and th e offices of the assis-tant coaches. Coach DeMeo's of-fice will remain in the CampusCenter.DeMeo said that-the meetingroom will be nothing more than aroom with a projector screen anda blackboard in the front of it.The reason for wanting the roomis that there is no other place oncampus where 65 players canmeet and talk about their sport.

He added that there is alsonoplace on campus where thefootball team can train with freeweights. The weight r trainingfaculty will consist of some freeweights and some other basictraining equipment for the team."I am not going to get fancy,"said Coach DeMeo.Both DeMeo and AthleticDirector Dr. Michael Cusack saidthey did not know where themoney for. the renovation ofBaldwin basement will comefrom. However, DeMeo said themoney for the training equipmentwill come from the football teambudget. *

Spring CleaningAll the changes and upgradingof student government electionprocedures should make MSG amore effective body. However,there is one possible change thathasn't been, mentioned yet:"]outlining exactly when the newgovernment officers tak e office.Presently the new officersshould begin their duties aroundtheelection time of departmentalrepresentatives. This procedureis vague. One wonders if it is thebest procedure as well A prac-tical alternative would be to holdelections at the end of winterterm and let the new governmenttake effect in spring. 'There are a number of advan-tages to this proposal, especiallyif any out-going officers areSeniors, for example when4 Senioritis" hits a senior theirreaction time becomes sluggard.This is through no fault of the of-ficer and an understandable at-titude of a third term senior. Butis it necessary? : Granted, the "senioritis" argu-ment is a sweeping generahza-tion which migh"riotJ!arWa"ys be |true. It is, however, an aspectwhich should be considered.Another point to think about:*]what if an officer is determined togo out in a blaze of glory? Whilethat attitude can not be easilychanged in any case, it can be

curbed to a large extent with anew third term government sinceany ramifications of rash deci-sion making be rectified in springand not the fall of next year. *&A third- term governmentwould also have a workingknowledge of its internal and ex-ternal problems by the end of spr-ing term. This is ideal becausethe summer break would allowthe government officers and repsample time to deal with any pro-blems. This in turn would makeMSG a more solid body.For officers coming in cold, thelearning process could tak e placebefore the end of the year. Thisprevents an inexperienced per-son from holding the governmentback in the beginning of a schoolyear when the iniation of govern-ment duties is at all time high.The effect an inexperienced per-son might have beginning in athird-term structure is con-siderably less. }Apparently this system worksfor other are a colleges tha t followthe third-term placement of stu-"denT govemnrent officers. Itseems infinitely more effectivethan the current unoutlined "wellwhenever" procedure. Perhapsstudent government should con-sider this proposal in their elec-tion policy spring cleaning.

letters To The EditorStudent Gives ViewsOn Dance! DepartmentDear Editor,

The May 1 issue of the M erciadstated tha t things are looking upfor Weber Hall as Mr. Jones hasbeen selected as director of the'Hurst Dance Department. Thiswas the first to my knowledgethat he had been selected, ana Ifind this information rather sur-prising. The administrationspoke to all of the dance majorsand minors in themidst of winterterm to reassure them that theywould be asked what they feltabout their new teacher and theywould be involved in the selectionof the new director. However, noword has been heard since Chatdark day in February. I >I realize the administration istired of hearing the complaintsabout the turmoil in the dancedepartment. I can even unders-tand why they are tired becauseit seems the dancers are neverhappy. But that is not truebecause they were seeminglyrunning smoothly in Septemberuntil it was disrupted by Dr.Saleh's and Mr. Begelmakher'sresignation-1due to the lack ofc o o p e ra t i o n f rom t t h eadministration.Mr. Jones has merged theDance Theatre of Erie and Mer-cyhurst College's dance depart-ment so that the 'Hurst will be theoffical college of Dance Theatreand of course, for the welfare ofthe dance major at the 'Hurst.Has it been overlooked that thestudio has been crowded withDance Theatre students and not'Hurst students? Perhaps and itdoes not appear to be a problem,however, 'Hurst dancers are pay-ing $330 a class, whereas dancetheatre students are paying prac-tically nothing. *

However, it is understood thatthe $330 is for college credits, andthe dance theatre students areconsidered part of the company.

Yet, the dance theatre studeare dominating the productitoo.Although this may not be inttional, will the students suffrom the 'Hurst being the officollege of the Dance TheatreErie? Is it worth using ostudents in order to produdistinction? wElaine CaylemiwReal People

After talking tosome of the local bait shops, theoutlook is not the gre ates tI believe this may be due to theshort cold spell we had last week.Things should really pick up afterthe super weather we've had this

past week. i$According to Jim Smith, fromSmith's Bait Stand at the publicdock, some hugeperch are beingcaught off the piers and docks inPresque Isle bay, but they arefew and far betweenThe salmon have real lytapered off, although a few arestill being caught in the channel.The big word from Smith is thesmall mouth bass fishing alongthe eastern shoreline of LakeFrie.\> A boat is the best way to go byt ro l l ing Mis t er Twis t er ' s ,Rapala's and diving plugs. Somegood fishing can be had bycasting riant from the shore. Aboat can oe rented at OrchardBeach, down by North Eas t 'Jim told me the bass were nice,from one to four pounds. Also, alot of trout were being caught inFrench Creek from the New Yorkstateline down. ,A lot of catfish and northernpike are being caught in thelagoons on the Peninsula. Nor-thern pike, muskie, pickerel andwalleye season opens this Satur-day according to WaterwaysPatrolman Gary Moore.Gary also informed me that

Elk Creek received a planting of8,000 more rainbow trout andpalominos. That's a lot of fish inthe creek right now. Crappies ar ereally starting to hit in Edinborolake also. fcOne sad note from Mr. Moore.Many people are still being ap-prehended for fishing withoutlicenses and Uttering. This canonly lead to hard feelings bet-ween private landowners andfishermen. It only takes a fewbad apples to have a beautifulsection of stream closed byprivate landowners.

Stud ent Op inion Soug htOn Quest ion Of Poles*Mercyhurst President, DrtfWilliam Garvey is seeking stu-dent input on the subject of thepoles which were placed at thebase of the horseshoe in front ofOld Main in early December. /The poles were originally plac-ed in fiie driveway To eliminateproblems with snow plowing andcars parking on the grass areaswhen snow has covered theground. Former Vice-Presidentof Business Services, GeorgeKidd, stated in the December12th issue of the M erciad that thepoles would remain*in thedriveway until spring.President Garvey is now con-sidering whether or not to leavethe poles up or to remove them."If people want them down, wewill take them dow n." he stated.He also said that- there arearguments supporting both sidesof the issue.A number of administrators

: and faculty would like the poles toremain, said Garveyvx)ne chiefreason cited by the Presidentmaintains that the ; horseshoearea provides a visually attrac-tive first impression of the col-lege.? The presence of carsdetracts from this appearance.Although the parking in thehorseshoe, when opened, isspecifically designated forvisitors only, Garvey stated theprivilege is often abused by com-mercial vehicles, college workersand students without parkingstickers. * ^Garv ey a l so v iews " thehorseshoe driveway as too nar-row for larg e vehicles which mayas a result p resent traffic^ pro-blems. The curb surrounding thedriveway has vanished, saidGarvey. This causes vehicles todrive on the grass which conse-quently leaves ruts.Arguments in favor of remov-ing the poles are based on the fact

that the j closed driveway doespresent an inconvenience ror^visitors to the school. Visitors ar enow required to park in either theWeber, McAuley, or Zurn park-ing lots. This may pose a disad-vantage to visitors who are un-familiar with the physical designof the campus.._ ..Garvey stated the horseshoedriveway is not needed fordeliveries to the college since thegarage adjacent to Zurn Hall hasrecently been designated for thispurpose.In order to assist him inreaching a decision on this mat-ter, President Garvey requestsstudent opinion via the Merciad.Students are therefore asked tocomplete the questionnaire whichappears-below. The completedsurveys may then be returned tothe Merciad office, basementPreston or Box 45 by Monday,May 11 at 4:00 p.m.
