    Excuse me. How do you get to theStudent Services office?""Go around Egan, down the ramp,through the two doors and take a right Fromthere, go forward about 100 feet until you seethe elevator. Open the door, then slide theinner door over. Go up to the first floor, thengo out and head to the left &< 4"After going through the building, goacross the first floor of OldMain to the lobbyarea where the switchboard is. Then go be-hind the switchboard area, through the door-way and to the elevator. Open the outer door,then slide the inner door aside. Go up to thesecond floor. When you leave the elevator, goto your left and out the door. It's the door onyour left You can't miss i t " _,Want to bet? But these are the directionsthat you might get from a nonambulatory, orwheelchair-bound, studenton the Mercyhurstcampus.At present, Mercyhurst has no physicallyhandicapped * students, according to Mer-cyhurst College President Dr. William P.Garvey. ? M

    Handicapped visitors may be denied ac-cess because the campus isn't suitablyequipped, according to the standards of Sec-tion 504of the Department of Health, Educa-tion and Welfare (HEW ).Section 504classifies a handicapped per-son as one who "has a physical or mentalimpairment which substantially limits oneormore major life activities (functions such ascaring for oneself, performing manual tasks,walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breath-ing, learning and work ing)" or hasa record ofsuch impairment |- Meeting the requirements of Section 504is important, since any institution that getsfederal money (financial aid, etc.) shouldhave met these standards by June 3,1980 if

    structural changes were needed."Mercyhurst College meets the mini-mum standards of Section 504," Garveysays. "To meet the maximum standards isquite difficult, due to the expense. Therewould be a significant burden placed on theinstitution to meet these expenses."I According to the standards set forth in thepublication "Creating an Accessible Cam-pus,' ramps should haveas gradual a slope aspossible no greater than one foot rise in 12feet, or 8.33 percent A slope of one foot risein 20 feet, or 5 percent, is preferred.I * To make the library more accessible, thesafety hazard of the old steps was replacedwith a ramp for easy access for the handi-capped," Garvey says.Mercyhurst doesn't meet the minimumrequirements for handicap access, however.The ramp leading to the library is 7 feet 7inches high, and has .a length of 54 feet,creating a slope of 14 percent For properconstruction, dieramp, designed and built byan Erie firm, should have been at least 91 feetlong. To meet the preferred standard, therampwould have to be at least 151 feet long.To m eet the minimum standard, or evenbetter it, the ramp should have been designedwith a "switch back" approach, where theramp has a 180 degree turn in the middle of i tIn the case of the library, theramp would thenconnect with the road in front of the library,making access simple for a wheelchair-boundperson. IOnce inside the library, the person has touse the elevator in the back of the library,which has a gate and door to open in order touse i t ! j '*Jl' To gain access to Old Main or Egan, astudent or visitor would have to go aroundEgan and enter through the cafeteria, then goup the elevator in Egan. ' |The elevators in Egan and Old Main bothfail to meet the requirements of the handi-capped code. According to an elevator me-

    Elevators must also have powered doors(a button is pressed and the door opens byitself). Both elevators have an outer doorwhich mustbe pulled open, as well as an innerdoor which must be pushed to one side.

    The doors also have to have two forms ofdoor safety, which open the door if an ob-stacle is sensed. Because the doors on theMercyhurst elevators are opened manually,the doors can't have any form of automaticdoor opener.Elevator buttons must be no higher than48 inches above the floor of the elevator.

    Dr. Michael J. McQuillen, a professor of history and faculty member at Mercyhurst for17 years, has been named interim academic dean at the college.McQuillen will succeed Dean Dr. David D. Palmer who will step down as chiefacademic officer of the college July 1,1988, after serving as academic dean for the pasteight years. Mercyhurst College President Dr. William P. Garvey said that he recom-mended McQuillen's appointment to the college trustees in early April. y4 Dr.McQuillen is highly respected among his peers as a scholar and teacher, and inhisnew administrativepost,''Garvey said.44I have asked him to give faculty developmenthigh priority.' 'McQuillen's appointment will be as interim dean for a period of up to twoyears. Garvey explained that the college's 10-member search committee had screenedover100 applicants for the academic post and brought three candidates to campus beforedeciding to recommend an interim dean while continuing the search."The committee also recommended that; the dean's post be filled by an internalappointment," Garvey continued. "McQuillen's nomination had widespread supportfrom our faculty." Garvey confirmed that the search committee will be reconstructed ata later date, explaining "Dr. McQuillen's appointment on a permanent basis would takeone of ourfinest aculty members ou t of the classroom entirely.4I have mixed emotions about the appointment," McQuillen said. "I regret having toleave the classroom because I love teaching, and th at's why I got into education.''Despite his mixed emotions, McQuillen said he is looking forward to the job.McQuillen plans on building the curriculum and supporting the divisional chairman andthe rest of the divisions of Mercyhurst and to continue to move these divisions " ahead ."44Without getting intocurricularreform,I'd like to look into whatcanbedone to strengthenthe new curriculum,'' he said. %McQuillen holds a FhJX in history from the University of Virginia, where he was aWoodrow Wilson Fellow. H e has been a member of the college's faculty policies andtenure committees, past chairman of the history department, Conner chairman of thedivision of social sciences, and a former director of the Egan Scholars Program.

    Pulakos satisfies Erie's sweet tooths 'Dreamsfnot enough for theater/performerfLucia saysBy Lillian DressierMerciad staff reporter

    What has that creamy, smoothtaste that makes you want more?In the Erie area it's Pulakoscandy that has satisfied that sweet-tooth craving for 87 years.Achilles Pulakos, the third-gen-eration owner of Pulakos, said thefirst ^Pulakos candy store wa sopened in Erie at 1108 State S t in1901. After six years the businesswas moved to 826 State St In 1916it was moved to 926 State St, where'it remained for 55 years until down-town redevelopment forced it torelocate to the current address at2530 Parade St ? 1

    **We are an Erie concern, but wehave a tremendous mail-order busi-ness. It is comprised of people whohave moved from the Erie area andpeople who have vacationed orvisited here. We mail our candy allover the world,*' Pulakos said. Thefirm shows its commitment to itsErie roots by participating in civicevents, such as Mercyhurst's recentfootball clinic. | : Pulakos' father started makinglarge, chocolate holiday creationsfor window displays at the926 StateSt store. ' 'The Erie area peoplecame? downtown just to see myfather's chocolate displays duringthe holidays. My father had anartistic flair, which developed m oreover the years,'' Pulakos said.Pulakos said his* father passed-the basics of window displays downto him and his son, George, but notenough people pass by the currentlocation to enjoy the displays. Headded that customers occasionallyorder chocolate creations, whichlets the firm use its artistic talents.

    ' UJPulakos said Erie is ait "littleunique'' because a lot of 4-poundcoconut as well as nut-and-frukchocolate cream eggs are sold here.But the Buffalo area buys few eggsover 6 or 8 ounces. "Th e biggereggs are also sold in the Pittsburghand Youngstown areas. You startgoing toward Lorain or Toledo,Ohio, and you can only buy thesmaller eggs,'' he said.

    Easter is the only time wemake the cream eggs.j They willonly stay fresh for three to fourmonths because they are made withfresh cream, butter, sugar and eggwhites. I / I4 Because Easter is our biggestseason seller, we start making theEaster candy in January. What wemake in January we sell by March,and what we make in February wesell by April. When it is necessarywe can turn out a lot of candy in ashort time." J| The automatic processes, such'as bagging and wrapping the candy,are done by machine, Pulakos said." But we still train our candy makers

    Matt Lucia recites his script ontoa tape recorder and enacts his per-formance before a mirror. At times,he also includes the rehearsed scriptin his daily conversations. Findingparallels with his town strugglinglife as a 20-year old, Lucia lets thecharacter do the talking.!"When you createa character,''explains Lucia, who is rehearsingfor six weeks to prepare for his roleas "Pippin" in the upcoming Mer-cyhurst production tof be stagedApril 22nd, 23rd|^24th 29th and30th, "you go into knowing thatyou are the first person to performthis part, and you never know if theaudience is going to understandwhat you've done."Lucia, a Mercyhurst unior fromWarren, Pa., is triple majoring inreligious education, secondary edu-cation and English and minoring intheater. He wasfirst nspired by thetheater when he saw the "Nut-cracker' ballet in fourth grade.His credits at the MercyhurstTheater include performances insuch plays as I "Five Fingers,""The Madrigal Dinner," "MissFirecracker Contest," "Th e Sta-tion," "God and a Woman," and

    Matt LuciaMatt says his best moment onstage highlighted " A ChorusLine," when his successful duetwith Danielle Bogan resulted! inthunderous applause from the audi-ence, bolstering him with a sense ofapproval. He also recalls that hisworst moment on stage occurred in1986 in "Miss Firecracker Con-te st " He was suppose to have acoughing fit while smoking, bu tinhaled too much smoke and vom-ited all over his costume. Ironically,the audience thought it was sup-posed to be a special effect

    * L\ Doors should have a clearanceof 32 inches or more when open,which is measured from the edge ofthe door when open to the doorjambon the other side. Most doorways onthe Mercyhurst campus have 33inches of clear access - except forthe bathrooms. Th e bathroom door-ways vary usually from 28 to 35indies wide.Resident handicapped studentsor visitors would have to live inEgan Hall for on-campus housing.Baldwin Hall, which has an eleva-tor, still has steps at all of the en-trances. McAuley an d the ^ apart-ments all have steps leading up tothem, as well as steps inside."Mercyhurst is in a difficultenvironment for handicapped stu-dents, " Garvey says. "The campusis hilly and has lough winters," headds.Edinboro University of Penn-sylvania is-situated on fairly flatground, and has 100 percent accessto all offices and classrooms, as well

    "W e decided, when we refur-bished the campus buildings a fewyears ago that we would em phasizeour commitment to the handi-capped,' says Bob McConnell, theassistant director of the Office ofDisabled Student Services at Edin-boro.There are approximately 100students in wheelchairs at Edin-boro, which is the only accessibleschool for the severely disabled inthe state, according to McConnell.

    Garvey cites the addition ofstairway lifts as an option, if neces-sary. J *If a student would come tothe college and need to get to the topfloor of Preston, a chair lift could b einstalled," Garvey says.

    Better communication stressedConstruction|raises questionsof liability, convenience

    By Matthew J. ClarkMerciad EditorIt wasa crisp, spring morning asan ambitious, young Mercyhurstcommuter made his way downBriggs Ave. for his8:15 class. As hemaneuvered his burgundy, 1977Cordoba toward his usual parkingspace, he noticed something pecu-liar. It wasn 't there. * iNo , it was not occupied byanother vehicle, butby a mountainof dirt left there in the name ofprogress. Discouraged, hei droveon, through a dusty driveway. Afterhe had stopped his cara second timeand the dust had cleared, he noticedthat three rows of parking behindZurn Science Center were blocked

    off. X }He had to park near the back o ftheZurn parking lot Looking athiswatch, he noticed it was8:17 and hedashed through the dewey, rollinggreens between Zurn and Baldwin,making his way toward Old Main.This story and others like it

    among commuters is the result ofthe construction on the southeastwing of Zurn. The construction,when completed, will house a beau-tiful music complex known as theD'Angelo School of Music.The end result will benefitMercyhurst's music department,and that's good. Unfortunately,during the construction, nearly 50percent of the Mercyhurst commu-nity must suffer inconveniencesresulting from the apparent lack offoresight in planning the $1.6 mil-lion projectEven the construction workersthemselves have had problems.Because of die deep excavation,approximately 67 truckloads of dirthad to be hauled away because theconcrete and blacktop surroundingthe area would not support theweight of thesoil that had been dugfor the structure's foundation.Then,filldirtwas brought in anddumped on one of theparking lotsnear Briggs Ave., rendering theentire lot useless. And, of course,three rows of parking have beeneliminated along a section of theZurn parking lo t*"We've lost a lot of parking,"Mercyhurst President Dr. WilliamP. Garvey said. Although Garveywasn't sure if Baldwin Bros. Con-

    Htractors, who are doing the con-struction work, had planned to c loseoff the various parking areas, hesaid he wasn't aware of such plans."They didn't tell us aboutthat," he said.

    The Mercitd is the student-produced newspaper of Mercyhurst College, B ox209,501E. 38th St . Brie, PA 16546. Phone: 825-03 76. Material for publicationmust be submitted by 3:00 p.m. on the Monday before publication.The Merciad welcomes letters to the editor. Letters must be signed, but thewriter's name can be withheld by request.

    Another unanticipated incon-venience is the closing of the drive-way that runs north and south be-tween theWeber and Zurn parkinglots. 1 T\ I * f*Mudslides created a danger ofcave-ins where the foundation wasbeing dug near the driveway. Ac -cording to Garvey, the' 'hugehole''being dug might have underminedthe driveway. \ i }-4 'They blocked it off for safetypurposes," he said. "Fortunately,nobody seems to be terribly incon-venienced." He noted that Springterm has the lowest enrollment ofany other time during the schoolyear.Many commuters would dis-agree. They are inconvenienced notso much by the lack of parking,because there are other lots that canbe used, but by the dirt, grime anddust When it's raining, peoplewalking through the parking lotsaregetting dirty. When it's not raining,their cars get filthy jus t sitting there.Another potential #problemMercyhurst might! have with themountain of dirt in theparking lotnear Briggs'Ave. is aliability. OnMonday, several young childrenwere playing on thebig pile of dirtSince the dirt is on Mercyhurstproperty, the college would be li-able if any of those children were toget hurt 1j Despite the negatives, I applaudthe efforts of those involved in thisproject because it will bringMercyhurst's music programwhere it belongs - on the maincampus.Maybe the construction peoplecould have waited until they abso-lutely needed thefilldirt before theyhauled it in. This would have elimi-nated that ominous dirt pile. Andmaybe some better communicationbetween the construction peopleand Mercyhurst would have en-abled administration and Directorof Security, BudDever to give stu-dents fair warning as to how muchparking lot space the constructionpeople would need to close offduring the projectThen, students could have madealternate plans ahead of time, andthe inconvenience suffered wouldhave been minimized. If we look atthe bright side, Mercyhurst can usethis experience to make improve-ments for the!next time there isconstruction here.

    In the 1960s, there was an outcryover the "separate but equal" stan-dards that allowed segregation. To-day, discrimination by race is a crime.L In the early 1970s, wom en starteddemanding equality. Today, sexualdiscrimination is lessening as morepeople are made aware of theproblem. # f IIn the late 1970s and early 1980s, the handicapped (for lack of abetter word) are demanding attention. No longer will these people acceptthe attitude that they are intellectually inferior because of a physicalhandicap.The federal government responded to the problem in 1977 with theDepartment of H ealth, Education and Welfare instituting Section 504.P Section 504 uses the standards of the American National StandardsInstitute (ANSI) Al 17.1 as guidelines for handicapped accessibility.

    % Colleges wore required to meet the standards of Section 504by June3,1980. The penalty for failure to conform was the loss of federal moneyto the institution. \ IIn actuality, Section 504 enforcement has gone theway of Tide IXlegislation (which prohibits sexual discrimination) with a Repub licanadministration favoring increased defense spending, both have beensomewhat neglected, |With the lack of enforcement, handicapped people using an institu-tion have to find their way through some areas which reinforce the ideathat the end justifies the means if the person can make it to the place,then it is accessible. *i Most people fail to realize that anything, including a door which isdifficult to open, can be a barrier for the handicapped.Wh ile a barrier-free environment is a goal which isn't very realisticdue to high expense, an accessible area is a more practicalexpectation.Expense is the main factor in deciding which route to take towardaccessibility.At Mercyhurst, theelevators are outdated and don't meet with thestandards for handicapped elevators set forth in the Suggested MinimumPassenger Elevator Requirements for the Handicapped, July, 1976 .j To replace even on e of these elevators would cost an estimated$250,000. With the relatively few handicapped peop le whowould usethe facilities at Mercyhurst College, it is impractical to suggest that theschool m odify the buildings with a significant outlay of money, only toraise tuition. i H What is even more impractical is the co llege tearing out a set of stepsfor the library and replacing it, ata price of $25,000, with a ramp whichis too steep. f *With a little research and common sense, it is obvious that the rampis too steep. A ramp set up to make the slope more gradual, either with

    additional length or a switch backdesign, which involves a 180 degreeturn, would have been a concerted effort at making one building thatmuch more accessible. iInstead, the building is still difficult to enter for the handicapped.With such a steep slope, a wheelchair-bound person would not be ableto make it up the ramp, and would pick up a great dealof speed on theway down. ' i iTotal accessibility to every building is a noble goal. EdinboroUniversity has taken up that goal, but not without high expense theuniversity has spent $30,000 on door openers alone in the pasttwo years.This dedication to agoal has allowed 100wheelchair-bound peopleto attend Edinboro. But with such a high cost, Mercyhurst obviouslycannot hope to make buildings over 20 years old completely accessible.Even s o, let's remember that every little bit helps. If a ramp has tobe built, at least it can be designed properly. F P

    By Brian MaidenWMCY Program DirectorSpring fever brings on metal

    fever to headbangers worldwide.Dirty Looks, Destuction, King'sX, Slave Raider, Dead End andYngwie J . Malmsteen all poundedout excellent metal slabs. 2"Cool From the Wire" is Erienatives Dirty Looks' debut majorlabel record. You probably won'tbe able to tell the difference betweenthis album and older AC/DC al-bums with Bon ScottThis album is very heavy andvery well produced by Max Nor-man, who produced OzzyOsbourne.

    This band has th e sound to be-come huge like how Guns ' nRoses have become so popularlately with pure kick b utt Rock andRoll. I 1 1Best cuts: "Co ol From th eWire," "C an 't Take My Eyes OffYou," "OhTRuby."* J8Release From Agony is moreof the!new speed metal bands tocome out of Germany. Extremelyintense, extremely heavy, ex-tremely cliche. IOn vocals (o r growls, which-ever you prefer) is Schmier whosounds exactly like Mr. Araya fromSlayer.!This isn 't the most talented bandin the world but they are young andaggressive.Best cuts: "Sig n of Fear,""Release From Agony" and' 'Dissatisfied Existence*9'Yngwie J. Malmsteen's RisingForce is at it again with Joe LynnTurner (formerly with Rainbow)on vocals. There is no question that Malm-steen is one of the fastest and best;ui ar players in the world, but after

    you hear one of his songs off thenew LP "Odyssey" you've heardthem all.] {J INo surprises here, typical key-boards with typical riffs. Turner isa great vocalist, but "Odyssey" isdreadfully boring.Best cuts: "Rising Force."i King's X!is a new|hard rockband with a surprisingly differentsound. 1. Great riffing and goodvocals put this trio above a lot of thegarbage on the metal scene tod ay.!"Out of the Silent Planet" isan album worth listening to. I don'twant to give it all away, as they say,so just get this album. IBest cuts: "Golikw," "Whatis this?," and "Power of Love."Dead End is scorching metalfrom the land of the Rising Sun.This band is the current rage inJapan and along with Loudness andEZO, they represent the * new waveof Japanese Heavy Meta l.'' ;Re-mixed by Metal MasterRandy Burns (Megadeth), DeadEnd's "Ghost of Romance" is akamikaze attack heading your way.I Best cuts; "Dance Macabre"

    - and "Dead Man's Rock." Slave Raider isfanother glammetal band on the scene. I thoughtYngwie Malmsteen's album wasboring! "Take the World by i fStorm" is their latest LP and it f jdefinitely d idn 't iSave your money metalheads,the new Motley Crue andfPoisonalbums will be out soon; you w on'tnotice the difference. 1Remember to checkout theMonsters of Rock tour this summer Van Halen, Dokken, Scorpions,[etallica and Kingdom Come.
