O n Tuesday evening b y 7:00, the Little Theatre in Weber Hall wasfilled to capacity to welcome,. Holly Near, and Jan e Fonda whospoke for anend to the w ar in IndoChina. Some people seemed to beexpecting Jane Fonda to appear wearing the transparent space suitshe wore in Barbarella. Undoubtedly there were also those whoexpected he r to come dressed in a Vietnamese uniform with a Nazihelmet, speaking Chinese, while burning a an American flag.Needless osay, she d id neither. ?Holly Near, a professional singer w ho had entertained U . S . troopsin the Pacific, began by citing the goals and directives of theIndoChina Peace Campaign. She claimed the esse ntial goal was to"educa te" the public in a "non-partisan" fashion about the evils ofcontinuing our war efforts in IndoChina. She did, however, statethat McGovern seems t o b e t h e brightest hope for a n immediate endto the war but the Peace Campaign could force any president, evenNixon, should h e b e re-elected, t o e n d t h e war.i ^ * 2*Jane Fonda then began her presentation with .a long series ofslides with narration. The slides presentation was followed by adiscussion session in which th e audience could ask questions.E Jane Fonda spoke quite well and with sincerity. The slide shownarration was not overly emotional or rhetorical. It seemed thatJane Fond a's primary aim was to edu cate. The ensueing questionand answer session was diversified and the questions answeredhonestly and with intelligence. ^ * JThe entire evening was quite enjoyable and enlightening, thegreat majority of those in attendence were quite impressed by thepresentation, {,.

At this time interviews land dramatic'- presentations head the 'list of non-musical^ programm ing, b ut thestaff i is open to suggestions.Poetry readings and comedy arealso being considered, p $In order to minimize | thepossibility of error, no ;livebroadcasting will be done for atleast one month. The staff feelsthat taped one-hour shows willalso permit a unity within theprogram which is generally notpresent in live broadcasting.Before any program is put ontape for later broadcast, acomplete script must be writtenand submitted to the Music andProgramming Directors forapproval. This approval|is notintended as censorship, since thestaff * feels that only certaindetails, such as times and

commentary, should be checkedin order that the studios can beput t o t h e most efficient u s e .Mr. JBingnear i has! also I formulated an Intersession course inradio production. This course willprovide students who remain oncampus an opportunity to ac-.cumulate both course credit andextensive radio experience. Also,students who feel pressured byacademics during the regular'three terms can gain a workingknowledge of radio production ina few weeks. There is a limit often students for this course.Although th e studios are almostcompleted, and th e programmingformat is set, the station is stillcritically understaffed. The mostpressing neecLis for announcersand programmers. Demonstration tapes, which can ?bemade using the facilities of theMedia Services Department, arerequired for all persons w h o wishto go on the air.

The elections and the glowingpromises are now a part of thepast, and RUS settled down tobusiness last Wednesday with itsfirst;; meeting i of the academicvear. Almost immediately theproceedings were m arked with abit of controversy. 3f>3The first order of business wasto elect a Faculty Adviser for theupcoming yea r. M r. Kennedy wasduly nominated for the position hepresently maintains. Mr. SteveDavis was also nominated for theposition along with Dr. JohnLincourt. Because of a clause onthe RUS constitution stipulatinga faculty adviser must be electedin fSeptember,i it seemed fasthough Mr. Kennedy would beautomatically elected, becausethe other nominees w erei: notcontacted prior to the meeting togain their acceptance or rejectionof the nomination. It was pointedout, however, that none of therepresentatives were told of theelection until the meeting itself,and that several of I th e newmembers of RUS did not havecopies of the new constitution. Acompromise was reached in thatMr. Davis and Dr. Lincourt wouldbe sounded out concerning theposition. If either accepted thenomination a ballot would be sent. . . . 1 4 . 1to the representatives which wasto be returned! before the nextmeeting. | %. The next item in the agendawas the voting on two executivecommittee rulings. The firstruling demanded that carequisition must be submittedbefore any^check from RUS willbe filled out, with|the intentionthat R U S would be able to keep atighter control of its monies. Theruling w a s passed easily.[*The second ruling rejected arequest by |Mr. Herring andFrank Barry | that i they bereimbursed $ .3 7 which they spentat a convention in New York Citylast spring* out' of* their own

REVIEWpockets when the $350 granted $them by RUS ran out. 'Herringgand Barry could not produce anenumerated lisU of expenses*which would i validate their Irequest but on the other hand,!nothing could b e found oh t h e R U S Iminutes which limited them t o |the $350 granted or permitting |them to spend as much&as they needed. RUS took the benefit of%the |doubt andi denied their |request , fearing? to set a |precedent concerning futu resconventions'!which might give]those involved a free hand in their 1expenses. 23&I W E . %$ i

Mr. Mlerring thenf gave nisireport on the Student Union. He lcited the|changes in the Union,!noting that it's starting to look j ^like a $Union and? is quickly .vbecoming the focal point of ac-1tivity on the campus. Herring also revealed his plans to centerHthe entertainment a t the Union onTuesdays, since most people areoff campus on week-ends. Hisprojected expenditures* on entertainment for first term andintersession ar e close to $2,400. 'H is request w as put under fire bySrepresentatives who felt that themoney should be spent for othermore needed items rather than onbetter entertainment. Mr Herringreminded them that the money herequests is already earmarkedfor entertainment, that it is not tob e used on capital expenditures.The squabbling sover th eUnion's | entertainment wasabrupt ly ended? when VikkiYurkovic expressed her feelingthat RUS was too tight; with itsmonies, that if it has the money itshould spend it. Mr. Kennedyagreed with her noting that of lastyear's appropriations Ifor theStudent Union, $5,000^ was leftuntouched. This apparentlyproduced an about-face in the

members of | RUS Jrommeticulous misers to benevolent

spenders. Herrings Proposal wasaccepted, and with it a blockallotment1, of whatever monieswill be*needed to purchaseHerring's requests for a bicyclerack, a new sound system on thecoffee house decorations for theHalloween Dance, a h otline phonefrom the student union to all thedorms, a suggestion b o x , securitypersonnel for dances, and tuningth e piano. $ | mThe meeting drew to a!closeafter it was m ade known that theproceeds! from; the pinball andvendingj machines in the Unionar e beingiused to pay off theconstruction of the Coffee House,and a* proposal was acceptedpromising|Mr. Kennedy to lookinto improving their ventilationsystem in th e Union. 4 'fftAnyone interested in attendingRUS meetings ar e w elcome.

WHERE W E R E Y O U W H E NITHE LIGHTS WENT\OUT?

0,b y \ T e r n G r z a n k o w s k i| Although Mercyh urst College isin no way comparable in size(acreage or population) to NewYork City, the 'Hurst does holdsome similarities with N ew York.P e r h a p s Ithe most obviouscomparison that can be madebetween the two i s t h e problem ofpark ing . Ih ei ther place, aparking space close to where youwant to go is a^very rare thing.With the onslaught of winter thissituation tends to be even harde rto cope with since mounds of snowoccupy several parking spaces.Other similarities probably doexist but perhaps the one whichmad e itself most known this weekwas our blackoutsNew York City,in 1967, experienced their famousblackout which lasted approximately 12 fhours and crippled 4he?whole city.'Mercyhurst

just went! through a |two-dayblackout | which, in a sense,crippled the campus. |Many statistics have since beenprinted dealing $with the NewYork City blackout, with? someconcerning Con-Ed, other theNew York City birth rate . Theblackout even gave rise to amovie.

Letters To The E ditorDear Bob, t% In partial answer to youreditorial entitled "Let's ClearThe Air" published in the Sept. 29issue of The Merciad, I would liketo make th e following c omm ents.First of all, it seems}ratherpresumptuous that you shouldtell me my "best sourse of action." The tone of a piece ofwriting has much to do with howit is receivedj as you no doubthave learned in your English aridbirthrate stat i st ics for theblackout, when she did not allowma le students in the Baldwin HallLounge to visit with femalestudents? And '-isn't it moredangerous for security purposesto just Jiave large groups ofpeople wandering around \ thecampus? $t | W& }There a re more questionswhich should be asked landperhaps later will be. Think of it,maybe someday they'll make! amovie about the Mercyhurstpower failure, and entitle it,"Where couldn't you go when th elights went o u t . " ' i

journalism courses. The tone ofyour article as is established inwords similar to the above quotedoes not immediately endear it tomy heart. However, I am surethat'you wrotevit with only thebest interests of everyone atheart. ?Secondly, I must inform youthatI will not attempt^to takeyour "best course of action." Idon't feel that it is theibest interests^ of anyone to engage inanswering gossip columnquestions. Above this is the factmat I don't have the authority torelease for publication most ofthe material mat y ou call for. I dowish to make it clear, however,that I would not release it if theauthority were mine. \ hI full well realize that it is thetendency of most young writersand editors to want to becomejunior Ralph Naders just as it isthe tendency of most youngbasketball coaches to want tobecome junior John Woodens.I really can't say which tendency is more admirable. I amsure bom are sincere&HoweverJit

remains that I ?have been hired tooversee thefbuilding of an entireathletic program and to personally! build a basketballprogram. If I do this by "variousu n d e r h a n d e d r e c r u i t m e n ttechniques", I am sure that I willbe exposed by some crusader forthe good of all mankind asdefinitely not of the John Woodenstamp and sum marily dismissedby an irate administration; and ifI do this permitting the use of"probationary athletes," I amequally sure that the N.A.I.A. (anassociation to which we belong toinsure our purity) will^comecrashing down around by head.In short I deny these charges.In conclusion^ might refer tothe quotation from RalphEllison's The Invisible M an whichso boldly appears directlybeneath your editorial. Perhapsw e should a ll read carefully someof the principle which we printother seemingly conflictingideals. * ' TVery truly yours,*.^* #RfchardFoxA ctivity Schedule
