According to Cass Shimek, di-
that exists between the students
and MSG by having an open door
policy. The students must realize
that MSG is a tool to be used by the
students for their benefit." One.
way of achieving this is to have
the Executive Board visit dorms,
apartments and the cafeteria in or- X

first-hand. Kennis feels that the V«_

tion features a week of more than
30 presentations' and perfor-
mances. The events begin on Sun-

Initially, the administration and
Mr. Tyrone Moore's office of
Residence Li fe felt that the Town-
houses should be reserved for fe-
males only in order to preserve the
structural integrity of the building.
It was their belief that women put
less wear and tear on the buildings.
However, once the Executive
Board of Mercyhurst Student Gov-
ernment heard of this plan, they

Most importantly, the Executive
Board proposed that each student
would have to submit a letter of
recommendation from their resi-

Garvey immediately embraced
this compromise, and congra-

making such an alternative. pos-
sible. In addition, Moore agreed to
i n vest an appropriate sum of money
to restore the Baldwin town-
houses to meet the criteria of a
preferred housing unit.
MSG Secretary Emilio Colai-

the essence of leadership and I
believe it reflects the desire of this
year's Executive Board to do all

Wild Things-Filled With Suspense

By Angela Harris
r
Staff Writer §. : |
One of the newest movies out in
theatres is the racy, seductive,
thriller, Wild Things, starring Ke-
vin Bacon, Neve Campbell, Matt
Dillon, and Theresa Russell.
The suspenseful plot involves
two female students (Campbell
and Russell) who accuse their
guidance counselor (Dillon) of
rape. The intrigue builds as the
girls go to trial and secrets unfold.
1 ing is not passionately moving
Wild Things most intriguing
part is all of the interesting plot
twists that keep the viewer on the
edge of his/her seat. When one
aspect is revealed, another starts
brewing. The fascination of the
unknown is the whole aura of the
rnovie. Along with the plot, Wild
Things i ntcrlaccs risque sexual in-
terludes between Campbell's and
Russell's characters and with
Dillon's, although considered,
"soft-coreand unreal istic" by some
critics.
The movie received less than
admirable reviews by all of the
critics. Receiving stars ranging
from one out of four to three out of
ten. Critics felt that WW Things
was a less than feeble attempt to
grab the "Jerry Springer" genera-
tion.
The movie held little moral
value, but the plot and concept
I behind the movie is both interest-
ing and suspenseful. In the tradi-
tion of the "what's coming next"
nature of movies like Scream, Wild
Things stands strong. j
The only things that bothered
me about the film was it's ten-
dency to try to "be" too much. The
writers seemed to be making it a
drama, suspense, and comedy all
in one.
Because of the touchy, intricate
subject, the inclusion of Bill
Murray in the cast was a bad choice.
The acting as a whole wasn't up to
par wi th what this cast of actors is
capable of. I was not impressed
with Campbell or Bacon, but
maybe it was because this movie
was a stretch from "Party of Five"
and "Sleepers."

STASIS
By Joe Gallagher
Merciad Columinst
There was a religion service this
past weekend, f
^During the litany (it was a catho-
lic service), a young child who
could not yet speak was in the
process of emitting some verbal
sounds. They were melodic for her.
She was innocent, and she was
happy. She was in glory, much as
the adults present at this service
were striving for. The goal (in a
service such as this) is to become
closer to god, or to speak of it
agnostically, to achieve a mental
feeling which is then perceived as
being such.
The sounds of the child are inno-
cent, and glorifying for her, but
they are heard as an annoyance by
the elders of .the church. Those
adults situated around her attempt
to silence her as they fear to distort
the channel of thought of the other
adults in the vicinity if they do not

I was actually going to try to go
all year without bringing up this
topic because of the backlash that
usually occurs whenever someone
says the "f- word." But, I failed and
have to talk about it You see, I am
a feminist. I grant you that when I
am with acquaintances I joke that I
am not a very good one, but the
truth is I am. And, as a feminist,
one of the most distressing things
to me is seeing and hearing the
rampant misconceptions that float
around daily.
Just because I am a feminist does
not mean that I hate men, that I hate
religions which seem to suppress
women, that I think women should
dominate the universe and kill all
men, that I bum my bra and that I
walk around like some kind of
army-chick-G.I. Jane wannabe.
The truth is that I love so-called
"feminine'' things. I like to wear
dresses. I like to dress up. I refuse
to go without my bra. And, I like
most men. Yet, I am still a femi-
nist
Part of feminism is seeing the
woman in a dominant role. It cel-

the female psyche. It has worked
for suffrage and rights and contin-
ues to strive for the recognition of
the female among a patriarchal
society. (Now, before some of you
get on your soap boxes and scream
that there is no patriarchal society,
I dare you to come and ask either
myself of other proclaimed femi-
nists to show you that there is one.)
Another part of the movement is
to recognize the suppression and
entrapment of women throughout
history. But, there are so many
other facets that are continually
ignored as cl ueless people yell that
feminists are militant' control
freaks. For instance, part of the
movement examines language and
how language has played into mis-
conceptions about so-called "gen-
der roles". Another part looks at
the biological and psychological
makeup of men and women and
analyzes their differences. Still
another section views what has
been deemed sites of feminine en-
trapment of the past to see how
women were'not entrapped and
actually manipulated situations so
that they were in power.
It is very difficult to remain calm
when people complain about the
feminist movement and think that
all feminists are really "femi-
nazis". The movement itself is too
broad for anyone to pigeon-hole
any of its members. It seems to me,
though, that the basis of feminism
is the belief that women are not
subservient to anyone. It's nearly
in line with what I have been trying
to convey all year — that everyone
has therightto be a free-thinking

indi vidual and should not be slip-
pressed by societal conventions.
| For example, women should not
be made to feel as if they must be
dainty, pretty, skinny objects. They
are not things. They are human
beings. Also, just because a reli-
gion views women on equal terms
as men does not make it a feminist
religion, and feminists in general
do not flock to become a part of it
Conversely, reli gions which do not
al low women to be at the top of the
hierarchy are not necessarily sup-
pressing them. There is more than
one way \p achieve power, which
is part of the heart of feminism.
On the other hand, it is also dis-
turbing to hear people claim to be
feminists for the simple reason that
they are able to point out subservi-
ent roles of women. To read a book
and say that you are able to give
some feminist views on it just be-
cause the woman was painted in a
not so favorable light does not
make you a feminist The move-
ment is much broader than that
Even I don' t pretend to completely
know everything about feminism,
despite the fact that I have had an
excellent mentor.
My message to you then, is to not
label people as feminists and then
see that in a negative light Before
tossing around words you don't
real ly understand, the i m plications
of like they are your personal
marble collection, why not actu-
ally learn a little bit about them.
And, don't label institutions or
people in light of feminism unless
you really know what you are talk-
ing about

"Yoga" is an ancient Sanskrit term that has entered into
contemporary use in English. However, what yoga is in
its classical Indian contextIs far from apparent to most
Americans. This discussion, lead by Thomas and Therese
Forsthoefel, explores human experience as interpreted
by Patanjali, the third century C.E. Indian thinker. While
this presentation includes the philosophical dimensions
of yoga, persons attending this session will be guided in
an experience of the practice of yoga as well.

A m e r i c a n a : In the Defense of L a w a n d
By Emilio Colaiacovo
Senior Writer I I
H Conservative theorist Edmund
Burke asserted that once order dis-
sipates, our freedoms and liberties
soonfollow. While this philosophi-
cal adage may not contribute to the
theme I wish to express, I believe
there is a strong correlation be-
tween this statement and the chaos
and utter stupidity I witnessed two
weekends ago. I n the four years of
being a Mercyhurst student, I had
never been so shocked, embar-
rassed and appalled by the actions
of my student colleagues.
Although I graduate in May, I
often speculate and worry about
whatlies ahead for Mercyhurst. As
a concerned member of this com-
munity, a dedicated person must
have the foresight to see the future
and act so the good may be en-
hanced and preserved for future
generations. Though naturally an
optimist, I have strong reserva-
tions about those who will ulti-
mately bear the mantle of leader-
\ ship and advocacy once I am gone.

If anything, the brutal activities
displayed nearly two weeks ago
justify my concerns and leave me
in greater apprehension.
Two weekends ago, I, along
with four of my fellow Resident
Assistants and our dedicated and
wonderful security team were
forced to respond to a number of
different problems. During the
evening, we reported three fights,
a gun on campus, a domestic dis-
pute, underage drinking, abusive
behavior, and an assault on a cam-
pus officer.
We responded adequately and
each situation was dealt with re-
sponsibly and effectively. Yet, I
was most concerned with the lack
of respect and regard shown to-
wards our security staff.
Of all the offenses noted on cam-
pus two weekends ago, I regard the
assault on one of our officer's to be
the most egregious. No one, and I
mean no one, shoul d have the right
