Shennanigan's to keep
its doors open for now
By Susan Marcy
As students returned to campus last
week, rumors developed that the col-
lege's nearby social spot, Shen-
nanigans, Is going to close Its doors by
the end of this month.
"What you are hearing is strictly
rumor," John Maus, controller of Mer-
cyhurst College and a member of the
Elm Corporation, which owns the bar
on the comer of 38th and Pine Streets.
While it may be rumor, Maus said,
"The place Is for sale."
A fast food restaurant is currently in-
terested In the property, Maus said. He
would not reveal to The Merciad
which particular chain was con-
templating purchasing the corner
property. n "Shennanigan's is an integral part of
"Whether It be a Wendy's, Burger
King or McDonalds," Maus said, "It
will be a gold mine because of its
location." £ i l Shennanigan's closing.
The Elm Corporation has owned the
comer bar for six years." During the
summer, the bar underwent renova-
tions and changed Its namerfrom The
Junction to its present name. j£
Currently, approximately ten Mer-
cyhurst students are employed at
Shennanigan's.£
Senior Kevin Armstrong, a disc
jockey at Shennanigan's said," $1,000
is made on a Thursday night." Accor-
ding to Armstrong, this is the night
most Mercyhurst students go to the
bar. r
j
Other days of the week, Mercyhurst
students can also be found socializing
at Shennanigan's. Monday students
flock to the bar for chicken wings while
quarter drafts seem to be the main at-
traction on Tuesdays.
Armstrong believes that if Shen-
nanigan's does shut its' doors, the
result will be an increase in the number
of parties on campus. He believes that
Shennanigan's Is "almost like a cam-
pus bar."

Sophomore Chris Renouf believes
that Shennanigan's "is a good outlet
for students, it allows everyone to go
out and enjoy themselves."

remain anonymous, said, "Shen-

Eddie Ricci feels that Shennanigan's
is "a conveniept college bar."
The convenience is another one of
the major reasons the bar is so popular
with the college crowd. The Mer-
cyhurst students are a definite asset to
the bar. According to Maus, the time
period between September and May is
the busiest time of the year for the
establishment.
Maus I said that without-the Mer-
cyhurst students' business, the bar
would have to change their business

In their six years of operation, Shen-
nanigan's has only been cited once by
the Liquor Control Board. They are
"due for a hearlng^at the end of the
month, for a second citation," Maus
said. \
Maus feels the L.C.B. "Is just doing
their job," as a result of their most re-
cent citation. I

Tax Proposals
deserve the ax
Taxes-not really a topic of concern to the college student. But
colleges and universities better start taking notice of the tax
proposals affecting higher education.
During the month of December while we were conveying the
spirit of Christmas, the federal government was making pro-
posals to reform and simplify the federal tax code dealing with
tuition benefits, charitable contributions, scholarships,
research and travel. If these proposals are passed by President
Reagan, they could have a devastating affect on Mercyhurst and
every other college across the country.
These proposals are supposed to be easy to understand but
everyone knows taxes are not a simple subject. Three plans
make up this so called simplified tax proposal. The U.S. Treasury
Department, Kemp-Kasten and the Bradley-Gephardt plans have
Instilled some form of taxation on higher education. I
Of the three plans, the Kemp-Kasten plan is the most accom-
modating to students and employees of a college environment.
This plan does not propose to tax those willing to contribute to
their alma mater. With the onset of the Capital Campaign, this
plan would not Inhibit donors from making contributions to our
college. However, the Treasury Department's plan does not pro-
mote individuals to donate gifts and donations because they are
taxed. For that reason, colleges are walking a tight rope.
Tuition benefits are not infringed upon under the Kemp-
Kasten plan. If this particular tax proposal is accepted, college
employees would continue to receive these benefits without be- THE MERCIAD

the questioner is sincere in his

Most* of the time, however,
there is a negative tone In the

no need to read literature.
