ANTIQUE ORGAN GIVEN MERCYHURST

An antique pipe organ valued at $60,000 was given
to Mercyhurst College by the Tellers Family of Erie,
owners of Tellers Organ Company. | m |
^Assembly of the organ was completed this week. |
|The organ was built in 1906 by iHenry Tellers,
founder of the company. It was the first organ he
made. I & i ilal * * iM
The instrument uses mechanical action rather than
electrical power. It is equipped with 13 ranks, 13 sets
of pipes, two manuals, one bass and expression pedal.
The framework is made of popular and stands 12 feet
high, 14 feet wide and 10 feet deep. The casework is of
the medieval period. | . ;. * f
Herman Tellers, son of Henry Tellers and owner of
the company, gavefthe antique as a personal gift to
the college. |'•&£* %
The organ, which was previously used at St.
Hedwig Church in Dunkirk, now stands backstage in

^President Shane traveled to Washington, D.C. last
week, where he attended a three day meeting of the
Executive Committee of the Conference of Small

While in Washington, President Shane and the other
members of the Executive Committee met with
representatives from Congress, the Association! of
American Colleges (AAC), and the National Council
of Independent Colleges and Universities (NCICU).

meetings was to discuss ways of implementing* the

When asked about! the outlook for any federal

Plague Mercyhurst
Tuesday, October 7, you may have wondered why all
200 residents were standing outside in their night
gowns and freezing to death. It was another one of the
false alarms that have been plaguing Mercyhurst
campus during the past few weeks. %
Of the six Jure alarms set off on campus only two
had been planned by the resident hall staffs.
According to Sr. Phyllis, Director of Housing, the
other four false alarms were caused by faulty fire
detection equipment or someone's idea of a practical
joke. H \ a §
Some people may find it amusing to send hall
residents out into the cold night, but it can be a very
expensive prank. * ^*%;
Each time the Erie Fire Department answers one
of these calls it is costing the taxpayers $500 per
truck. This problem could possibly be minimized if
security ami the Mercyhurst switchboarn could be
overcome. \
Turning in a false alarm can also be expensive to
the person who pulls the alarm. This is cfds&ified as a
misdemeanor which is punishable by A C * to five
year prison sentence and or a $10,00$ fir The of-
fender will also be banned from any r dence on
campus. I I

unanimous decisions for
enrollment. Excitedly, Suzy

During this academic year 1975-76, THE MER-
CIAD will continue to relay all information pertinent
to all members of the Mercyhurst College com-
munity. We will release factual matter only and
reserve the right to Freedom of the Press in any and
all of our endeavors. This is the only possible manner
in which we may function as a reliable communicator
of valid news reports. Our possibilities in making the
news totally significant in our publication are
realistic only when we retain this inevitable gift of
absolute freedom to report the news as we view J
it. *
,?It is often a complex concept to develop what is
relevant and interesting to the majority of readers,
but we will proceed by making the news content
continually meaningful. To do so, we must report our
information clear and correct. It will* take time for
us to master this quality, 3but-• we-will always
guarantee to report significant factual matter. In
addition, we will maintain our responsibility of using

Dear Editor,
{am writing this letter not to make excuses but to
explain why I only placedpiird in Saturday's "Bar
Run" and why the 'Ten Rats" looked so dreadful in
the Tug of War.
First of all, I was ready! ^French racing hat|and
goggles, Swedish racing boots, and a six-pack of
Coors! However, I went with a rookie out of Pitts-
burgh, Pa., by the name of Jim Riley (or is it Jack?)

doing fine up until^the fifth bar. It was the Golden
Goose |Cafe that didt him in (that place does
everybody in!) Anyways, I give the kid credit; he
gave it the old college try. I them to enjoy.
|As for the "Ten Rats" performance, I can only say
three words: "They were drunk". Now, this is no
excuse, but there was a small explosion from the
fumes iwhen .the Rats gathered in a circle and
someone lit up a cigarette. * |
In conclusion, I would like to "thank" and
congratulate Jim Hallamyer and RUS for providing
us with a fine Fall Festival. However, I do have my
doubts about the student body in general here at
Mercyhurst. It's the same poeple and the same faces
at all the school functions. I know I had a great time
this weekend and Pknowf the students that par-
ticipated did too. You just watch, next to this letter
there is probably one complaining about the lack of
activities on campus. P -pf

Cliques On Campus
I by Deb-U-Tante
This will, be my second episode of friends and
faculty faces. This week our article wiU concern the
"Sweet Adelines" of Sesler 311. These three young
and alluring ladies have graced the Mercyhurst
campus scene for three years.
Mary Pat McCarthy, one of these girls, and one of
the few people on this campus who was never blessed
with a nickname, has been here since 1973. Mary Pat
islfrom Syracuse, New fYork and various other
places. While talking to Mary Pf t recently I was sad
to hear she hasn't totally recovered from her illness
of last year. For those of you who weren't here last
year Mary Pat was afflicted with that deadly
neurological disease. We all hope she recovers and in
lieu of flowers and cards, please send Scotch. J
When writing about Rose Ann Bauer (Rosie), one of
those great nicknames, I must plead ignorance. I do
this because it sounded good and I've always wanted
to do that. Rosie hails from Pittsburgh,*"the arm-pit
of the Nation",^Pennsylvania has been here since
1973. J I i * I i I
Fl Rosie, the Harpo Marx of the trio, suffers from the
same problem Skip did last week "lack of notoriety
and identity" but as of this writing things are im-
proving. Rosie has combined with two freshman girls
in attempt to compose one intelligent being. I i
\ Terri Fiumara hails from Syracuse •*which is the
real mistake on the lake, for three years. Terri, who
is more commonly known as the other half, or the
Robin side of the dynamic duo. Being that her and
Mary Pat have been together for 19 years one would
believe they should be friends. I must tell you this is
an illusion. In real life they fight like cats and dogs. It
has been rumored that Mary Pat can no longer put up
with Terri's "inferiority complex". Gheer up, Tern.
Only seven per cent of the world's Italian. Everyone
likes pizza, a small consolation. I £ \ §
In closing this hogwash, the girls asked for one
request. They ask that aijy young, sensitive,
masculine and intelligent freshman boys who would
like to stop by, DON'T. \ 1 R
Take care and until next week—remember, when
you're up I to your neck in homework, "Get

MERCYHURST COLLEGE
Dear Editor,
In past years at Mercyhurst*College I have often
heard the word apathy mentioned. I had never fully
understood what apathy can do to a college and to the
people who do become involved,H>ut this became
very apparent on Saturday. |
Weeks of $ planning and time went into the
scheduling of the games and events at Fall Festival
on Saturday, and very few students attended, let
alone participated in, the events., £ )"[
What do you have to do to get people to have fun at
Mercyhurst? I'm not going to beg students to attend
the activities; I shouldn't have to. They are there for
J *-& -: f of Daniel J. Sherbine).
I also;noticed something else on Saturday. Every
time there is an event scheduled, the same people are
the ones who attend, and the same group ofapathetic
students sit in their rooms and moan and groan that
there is "nothing to do". I feel very sorry for these
people, if- i .» *;
The people who attended the festivities at the Fall
Festival all^had a good time. Why? Because they
made their own good time; that's why! The "Ralph**
concert on Sunday evening was a great success.
Why? Because people came out and made it a suc-
cess. I'm happy they did. f m * the above letter on Tuesday, October 14 and feel it
In closing, I would like to thank the people who
helped me plan and organize the Fall Festival. They
did the best job expected and I appreciate it. Just ask
those people if they had a good time and if there ever
is anything to do at Mercyhurst. I'll bet my life that
they say' 'yes''. W J
Sincerely,
Jimmy Hallamyer

As the letter states, the purpose of the party was to

was over early so as not to disturb bur fellow Briggs

were received. So why the harassment? j

recruiting new students states, "A college education
is much more than classes - at least itv should be.
