Construction on new student union
delayed because designs not ready
By Maria Kelly
Staff Reporter
Construction on the new $2 million stu-
and is expected to be smaller than originally
proposed, according to MaU Triola, president
of Mercyhurst Student Government
the end of October, is now scheduled for
February. The delay has been caused by
' Architects' not being able to get all necessary
input from those involved in the new union,
according to Mercyhurst president Dr. Wil-
liam P. Garvey. W
Triola cited the reason for the delay as a
design problem. The post office and book-
store were designed too small, and ramps for
trucks to deliver mail to the post office, were
omited from the plans.
Problems with building space and finan-
cial difficulties, have made it necessary to
modify the original size of the union, Triola
explained.
Sr. Carolin Herman, a former dean and presi-
dent of Mercyhurst college, is to be a three-
story building situated on the bluff next to the
campus center overlooking the grotto, he said.
' 'There are still questions about the type
of building we*re going to build," said Tom
Billingsly, director of administration H e
added, however, that it will most likely be an
A-frame with a lodge theme. The side over-
l o o k i n g the grotto will be glass. The bottom
; floor will open onto the grotto.
The new building will contain a great
| r o o m with a fireplace for social gatherings
l a n d parties, a smaller all purpose party room,
reading rooms, meeting rooms, the cove with
| a game room, a post office, a bookstore, a
chapel, student government offices and cam-
pus ministry. tThe design committe is also
thinking of including a small hair cutting
salon or convenience store, according to
* f
The design committee is to meet again
Dec. 1 to discuss final plans on the structure
and layout of the building.
The idea for a new student union was first
proposed last year by Dr. Garvey. MSG was
approached and asked if they wanted the new
union, according to Tod George, MSG treas-
urer.; .|
, • " D r . Garvey wanted support from us in
two ways. He wanted us to be responsible for
the purchase and upkeep of the furniture. He
also wanted a show of support for the board
of trustees, that we were really interested in a
new union," George explained. *
The nextstep was to form a student design
committee. The commitee visited various

(Number 2). Driveway leads past St. Lukes (Numb<
different colleges over the summer to pick up
some 'ideas. These colleges, according to
George, included John Carrol, Penn State
Berhend, and Frcdonia.
"If MSG was not willing to support the
union then it is quite possible the Board of
Trustees might have seen it as a sign that the
students did not want it,'' said George.' 'The
trustees at the time were considering a sta-
dium, a swimming pool, a new library, but
because the union got the most support, it got
the $2 million." I |
The cost of paying for and upkeep of the
furniture will come to somewhere between
$100,000 and $150,000, which is about 5%
of the total; MSG was told that they could pay
back the money over a five-year period -
$25,000 a year. ? J
"That is 25% of MSG*s budget, which is
equivalent to the! special projects fund of
$20,000 and the union capitalization expense
of $5,000/ J George said. « u g]
The special projects fund is used to bring
in bands, pay for D J . ' s, and buy things for the
campus. The money could have come from
here, but according to George, the main criti-
cism about MSG was that they had not done
enough for students in the past
" O u r concern was, if the way MSG has
been spending money in the past ^hasn't

worked, how can we take 2 5 % of our budget
and allocate it to something that is a year
away," George explained. f
George then went on to explain the differ-
ent financing p l a n s he developed. Some
included a student government fee increase;
others did not.
I& The body finally voted on a fee increase.
' 'We figured that for $5 more a term this year,
and a $5 increase next year, we could pay off
the money without sacrificing student
9
activities, ' George said.
«y The financing plan was based on 1,200
students that pay the student government fee.
A $ 15 fee increase for 1,200 students raises
$18,000. Next year's $5 addition will raise
the contribution to the fund to $24,000. No
further fee increases are proposed.
MSG will have to come up with an addi-
tional $3,000 a year. This will come out of
their budget, according to George.
"The reason why we're paying less this
year than the other years is because we didn't
think it was fair to this year's seniors to pay as
much for something they will probably never
see," George said. f $
If admissions drop in the future, the
administration will have to granttMSG an
extra year to pay off the money, or the fee will
have to be raised again, according to George.

HURST STUDENTS MARCH ON D.C. TO

By Becky Johnson
Merciad staff reporter f
Despaired, lonely, depressed,
poverty-stricken, and homeless are
characteristics of over three million
people in the U.S. The numbers are
increasing constantly because of the
decrease in welfare grants. Stu-

congressmen, and homeless from

Berlin to Broadway with Kurt
Weill will begin its showing arthe
little Theater in Weber §Hall on
Friday Oct 20 at 8 pan.
This play replaces The Merry
Widow which was scheduled to
appear during this time. "Not
enough people auditioned, you
cannot create a show without a
cast," Igor Stalsky, assistant pro-
fessor of theater, said. The Merry
Widow needs at least 18 members
for the cast and only 14 students
auditioned, Stalsky explained.
The cast of the play consists of,
Debbie Schmidt and Kathy Baker
both Mercyhurst students, and Jeff
Litiec, John Burton, and David
Durst, all from the Erie community.
"Out of the 14 students who audi-
tioned, only seven were stage mate-
rial," Stalsky said.
The scheduling of the auditions
for The Merry Widow, and the
replacement of the play ran as fol-
lows: Auditions were held on
Thursday Sept 14 and Friday Sept
15. Six people auditioned each
night according to students that
were present In the Thursday night
group there were three females and
three males.
The students received informa-
tion on the play being cancelled
because there {was not a large
enough cast by Monday Sept 18.
And the play was replaced and re-
cast with two Mercyhurst students
by Wednesday, Sept 20. The notice
that all the students received in their
mailboxes said that they were going
to be considered for another play in
the future. ,J i # Friday Oct 20 8 p.m., Saturday Oct

Old Main parking spaces need
to be shared by all students
By Robi Taylor .
Merciad Managing Editor
A strange rumor has been going
around campus about administra-
tion plans to shut down about three
fourths of the parking lot next to the
Briggs Ave apartments to overnight
parking starting in November.
This is going to cause quite an
uproar withf the tenents of those
apartments. What that means is they
are going to have to either walk the
equivalent of one city block to find
a parking space or face the wrath of
the City of Erie and their meter
maids if they decide to park on the
street
There are plenty of available
parking spaces behind Zurn Hall
and an almost empty lot behind
Baldwin Hall for ovemightparking.
The question that will be asked by
most resident students will be,
4 say the lot belongs to them just the only one left open to the college.
'Why should we have to park clear

which the answer is a simple ques-
tion. Why is it easier to walk across
campus to a party than it is to walk

radio station format
By Kevin McHugh
Merciad Editor
•
If you take a look at the new
WMCE radio format, you will notice
a wide range of diverse programs.
Many students, especially those on
the student executive, were upset at
the change.
* However, according to Mer-
cyhurst President, Dr. William P.
Garvey, students do not have a say in the radio format
**The radio station is nota student station. It's a college station," Garvey
said.' 'The newspaper is a student paper, but the radio is a laboratory of
the communications department. » >
Garvey added that the administration does not need to consult the
students about changes in other laboratories and that the same is true of
the radio. This is true, but the radio station is different from any other
college lab. >
How can the chemistry or biology lab be compared to the radio
station? The DJ's are predominantly students and the listeners are
mainly students. The enthusiasm of the students is what will make the
station a success, and so their opinion should at least be aired (pardon
the nun).
" THE RADIO STATION'S FORMAT SHOULD
NOT HAVE BEEN LEFT TO IDLY " EVOLVE"
sBUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DmECTED.
HAD IT BEEN DIRECTEDFROM THE START
THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO NEED FOR
SUCH DRAMATIC INTERFERENCE"
The radio format was changed over the summer when the student
executive was not here. This tends to show that the change was rushed.
The college applied for its FM license more than four years ago, yet
they wait until a year after they've gone on the air to decide a format
And this was done over the summer when the students had no
opportunity to offer any input , ' I

The radio station's format should not have been left to idly * 'evolve''
but should have been directed. Had it been directed from the start there
would have been no need for such dramatic interference.
Administration went from almost no involvement in the radio's
programming at the on-set to outright dictation of the programming.
We realize the reasons for the format change, but what happened in
the interim period? Were the students wrong in playing 85 percent
classic rock and if they were shouldn't they have been told?
*Garyey said that the new format is not * 'written in stone,'' and that
if experience shows that the format change was too dramatic or was not
working, then they would adjust it
This leaves an opening for the student executive to comment on the
sucess or failure of the format change and to offer sugestions on what
might be adjusted. We hope that this time the administration and the
We know that it is Mercyhurst college and not the student body that
is answerable to the Federal Communication Commission, but surely
