Responding to comments, such
as this one by senior en-
vironmental studies major Craig
Brooks, The Merciad decided to
investigate service and attitude
factors that may be influencing
student and faculty reaction to
the snack bar. J $••*'*
In interviews with numerous
student and faculty members of
the Mercyhurst community, one
feeling appeared to rise above all
others in their: opinion of the
HRMA-run facility. That feeling
was one of discontentment.
^ "I think they've set themselves
up as a fast-food type of service
without the personnel or
techniques to handle it in that
fashion," commented Dr. George
Garrelts^ off the Theology
department. *& $
Others were more direct in
their comments. Expressing
dismay over, the service of the
snack bar, senior accounting

Letter
Parent Supports 'The Merciad', Garvey
Dear Editor: L*
I want to take this opportunity
to commend you and your staff
for producing what I, as a parent
of a Mercyhurst student, feels is a
fine campus organ. I particularly
like your aggressive spirit in
dealing with campus issues and
feel certain that students and
faculty share my compliments.
I think you did an excellent job
in dealing with the selection of a
new president at Mercyhurst.
The coverage of the story and the
backgrounds of the candidates
put your readers in touch with
some very --important tissues
revolving around who would lead
the fHurst into the '80s.
Indeed, the coverage was a big
.plus for The Merciad because it
was a no-nonsense approach to
important issues for the students
and faculty.»Your information
was not public relations puff
pieces which many campus
publications have a tendency to
lean toward. It's important that
such issues as the election of a
college president be a serious and
forthright undertaking, by the
campus (and other) media.
The Merciad handled the story
well. I was interested for obvious
reasons, as I'm; sure other
parents of children at the 'Hurst
were interested, in the selection
of a new president.
While reading the strong and
weak points of each of the can-
didates I got the feeling that the
board made a wise choice in
making Dr. Garvey president of
Mercyhurst. I don't know Dr.
Garvey, but as I read The
Merciad's review of his
credentials there was one point
that made him a standout. He
was quoted as saying something
- ^
Ws493.tv
to the effect that the job of
schools of higher learning is to
make students think. That
philosophy is extraordinary, I
think, in a day filled with
educational trivia.
Dr. Garvey is certain to produce
fine results as president of the
'Hurst, for his promise to make
his students think is somewhat of
a unique proposal.
I was also happy to see that the
board at Mercyhurst did not
select a president whose major
achievement was raising funds, a
major boast of some of the other
candidates. Of course, that's
important, but it is not the key
element in providing a solid
education. I'll take my chances
with people like Dr. Garvev.

Controversy Sparked At Pitt, J H M ^ r e a B B S ^ : ^ v % ^ ^ £ . ^ § ^

Is Overnight Dorm Visitation Safe?

«After a review of campus
security precautions in the wake
of a brutal murder in a dorm
laundry room last year, the
University I of Pittsburgh has
officially reinstated dorm
visiting hours regulations. Under
the new rules, most overnight
visitations will be prohibited.
Pitt had abandoned hours
regulations nearly a decade ago,
but a January, 1979 murder of a
Pitt coed "clearly piqued our
concern for safety," said Mary
Ann Aug, director of Pitt's news
department. * i 3,

that they proposed to prohibit

exercise too much control over
students' personal lives. Students
went so far as to hire their own
lawyer to represent them during
subsequent administration

Dear Mom and Dad:
Well any day now we should
have the ground breaking for the
new 'Old Main' and the new 'Zurn
Hall' I must say that the Erie
'community, and for that matter
the nation, really responded to
our calamity back in February.
To this day, though, I question if
events had to go the way they did.
As I recall, it was January
when the school got all the
thermosats fixed and started its
policy/ requiring an ambient
temperature of 65 degrees. Since
you never went to a high class
college like Mercy hurst, Mom
and Dad, I'll explain that an
ambient temperature of 65 means
that the average temperature in
an entire room should be 65. Well
here at Mercyhurst our heating
system is so old it was created
before the discovery of fire. So,
some large rooms with an am-
bient temperature of 65 might
also have small sections where
the temperature hit 55 and others
where it was 70. In some class
rooms half the class was
disrobing and giving their clothes
to others who were entering early
hypothermia 1£
Needless to say, but I'll do so
anyway, the Mercyhurst com-
munity fought back. Students in
rooms put ice cubes on ther-
mostats, others tore the in-
struments off the wall. But the
great calamity of February 29
came about because of the
faculty. 7? . Security Dept.
Our faculty will protest at the
drop of a white paper. As they
froze out they decided it was an
administrative plot to get them to
work harder to stay warm. So
they struck back. On February
28, they bought up every space

staged faculty heat-in day. They

At LaRoche, Dan O'Connor's
roundball stars displayed the
courage that had been absent
earlier in the year when they
turned around a 50-44 half-time

both ends of a one on one. The
winning margin was maintained
until the final buzzer, but.not
without some hair-raising

Bennard put the Lakers eight
points ahead, 98-90, with 35
