Letters. . .We Get Letters.Volleyball Weekend

There's always something happening at the 'Hurst.

Dear Editor,What's alii this talk aboutstudent apathy? If you happenedto view the "All Nite VolleyballMarathon" f last weekend youwould have thought the word"apathy" had never been spokenon this campu s. -Well over one hundred Mer-cyhurst students, administrationand faculty jammed the Can pusCenter rallying to pledge close to

Dorm Life. . .Dear Editor,Is there or is there not a policythat states the consequences ofthe use of 'marijuana in theresidence halls? If there is,where can this be found? Surely itcannot be found in the studenthandbook, residence hall hand-book, residence hall contract orthe college directory. I ^Now that you can't find anysuch policy in any of the above,don't count on the RA or the dorndirector to inform you becausethey seem to be ignorant of such apolicy. The policy I am referringto is one in which Mercyhurstsends a letter home to the parentsof the student who committed theoffense. This is done in no regardto the rights of the student oreven informing ^ the student ofsuch a letter - or the contents ofthe letter in any way.

$900 for the James V. KinnaneMemorial Scholarship Fund.Let me say, as chairma n of thisevent, I was shocked at theparticipation but more than that Iwas pleased. Unfortunately, wewere totally unprepared tohandle the teams that wanted toplay. I apologize to those tean sthat waited excessively for co urttime. Needless to say, I am sureall that; attended enjoyedthemselves emmensely.

Thanks are in order to MSG,LEC, Saga Foods, ElenorWiniarczyk, Janet Price, JohnNesbit, Mary Daly, Cindy Har-wood and especially JaneyNestor. Without your cooperationthe marathon would not havebeen the huge success it was.One last note - as one law en-forcement major 4 mentioned tome "I hope James V. Kinnaneenjoyed it." I'm sure he did.k & JoAnn DeSantis

Does Mercyhurst realize whatinane things it does to itsstudents? I am not condoning theincident that occured, but ancondemning the procedure thatthe college took, with so littleregard to the student's con-stitutional rights. Mercyhurstprofesses to its studentsaspirations such as "come awayto school *here" to become aresponsible educated adult. Itseems to me that Mercyhurstoverlooks such things when itsends a letter home bringing theparents into the situation.The incident I am referring toinvolved two students who were21 and 22. One student did noteven live in housing. Where doesMercyhurst get the right toignore the rights of legal adults? Ithink that 'if such a policy doesindeed exist it should, 1) be

known to all students, 2) thestudent should be sent a copy ofthe letter, 3) and consideration ofthe student should be taken intoaccount before such a letter issent home.One thing that is particularlydisturbing is the uniformed RA'sand dorm director. Maybe thissays something about the RA'sand dorm director that no oneever seems to question. I wonderwhy Mercyhurst does not havecommittees that choose RA's anddorm directors, and a jurysystem \within the college likeother colleges. Could it be thatMercyhurst favors bias? I feelthe students should be aware ofthese points?that concern theirrights and the system within theresidence hall that affects theirexperience at Mercyhurst. i(Name withheld upon request)

We'reahead of last year's schedule nowand with more match play we'llbegin to win those close ones."

CommentaryThe Lakers look strongthroughout the lineup. Theyshould be the odds-on favorites tobook their annual reservations toKansas City this spring.Surprisingly, it was not thetennis, but the team's attitudewhich Impressed me the most. Ofeight teams competing, the'Hurst was the only "team."Other team s' players played pingpong or engaged In variousoutside activities while theircomrades were fighting. TheLakers, though, showed 100 percent attendance for every match,!giving their mates top moral andvocal encouragement,It was also nice to see a fewMercyhurst fans make their wayto the event to add support.
