The money raised through the alumni fund is for-warded to the Sisters of Mercy Scholarship Fund, which inturn, awards incoming freshmen money from the departmentthey intend to enter.Students who complain about limited scholarship fundingwithin institutions of higher education, now have a chance toincrease the supply of funds by raising money through thePhonathon.The February event is a fund raising project that providespersonal contact between present Mercyhurst students andpast Mercyhurst students. Talking with the alumni can bevery interesting and enjoyable. Most alumni feel a strongsense of commitment and association with the 'Hurst. Theyare willing to share academic and career advice' and> evenreminisce about their years at the college.One of the greatest feelings the Phonathoncreates is a senseof accomplishment, and having participated in an event for a

    Seniors Face More ThanThe Usual Winter BluesBy John MuzicWith mid-terms fast ap -proaching, Winter Term, muchlike the local seasonal weather,

    has settled in and the*excitementgenerated by, the advent of th enew year, full o f hope for newbeginnings and experience, seemsto have faded t and become hazyjust like the sun in an Erie wintersky.This letdown happens everyyear and I know it's a temporarything. Normally, I bury myself inacademics forcing them to createa kind of inspirational motivationof their ow n which will keep mesufficiently occupied until th ephase passes, ;But. somehow, this year is dif-ferent. A s a senior facing gradua-tion, I realize that I can't affordthe luxury o f "the horse withblinders" tactic I've used in thepast. I know that a logical resolu-tion to the events of the last threeyears has to be plotted and playedout. But doing so is a rather dif-ficult task; perceiving options,making decisions and finalizingplans being just a few of the men-tal processes involved. - 0 AK B A N T T E L N U Y V I U T R M I S 0 L I

    The Buoy RestaurantServing TraditionTo 5By John WolperWhat's new at Erie's finestseafood restaurant? Aside fromthe tine cuisine offered by TheBuoy, the visiting patron will bedelighted with the enhancement ofthe restaurant's interior. Recent-ly, the restaurant (located at 4State Street, at Erie's PublicDock) underwent the replacementof its carpeting and refurbishment

    John Wolperof its existing decor. Frequentvisitors of The Buoy will notice ahealthier glow, not drasticchanges. The warmth and charmthat has always -been a distincttrademark of The Buoy remainsfirmly intact. These subtlemodifications are indeed desirableand a welcome change. Not onlydid the new year bring a brighterlook to The B uoy, but it's compe-tent manager; Ester Fromknechthas also changed with the newyear. Fromknecht felt it was timefor a change, both for The Buoyand her health. Congratulationson both successes Ester!

    Many. times we patronizerestaurants that offer either goodThe Films Of '83

    iThatByLaura Ruby vWell, we're about three weeks in-to the new year-what does that sayfor the film industry? Better yet,what does 1984 hold for the filmindustry? ' j 1.

    In 1983, we saw such films asReturn of the Jedi, Tooisie,Flashdance, Stayin* Alive, TheBig Chill, Easy Money, Terms ofEndearment, Psycho II, Scarface,Sudden Impact, Silkwood andYentl. These are just a handful ofthe many movies that are.produc-ed yearly, only a select fewbecoming block-busters.The million-dollar special ef-fects seemed to keep the movieReturn of the Jedi alive.- Andspeaking of Stayin' Alive, is JohnTravolta ready for Annie orwhat? His performance as TonyManero showed once again hislimited acting ability. What about

    Peoplefood, good service, and a pleasantatmosphere. W ithout hesitation, Ican tell you that The 5Buoyrestaurant possesses all three ofthese desirable attributes in abun-dance. The mark of a j truly topeatery is being able to offer allthree of these sought afterqualities consistently. For {thoseloyal customers .who dine yearround at The Buoy, many ofwhom eat lunch there daily (din-ner less frequently), will agree thateating at The Buoy is a worthy ex-perience, worthy of theirpatronage. Somehow, somewhere, and atsome time many local residentsp erce i ved ' that Th e Buoyrestaurant with its fine selectionsof fresh seafood, beef; chicken,and sandwich items, was too ex-pensive for their wallets-pocketbooks. Let me state thatthis impression is entirely untrue.The luncheon and dinner, menusare designed to fit everyone'sbudget. An appreciation of finefood, attractively served in anautical atmosphere with apanoramic view can fbe ap-preciated by all, not just a selectclientele. Erie has such arestaurant in The Buoy! Lun-cheon specials begin at $2.25, w ithdinner entrees beginning at $5.95 .These prices do not close the dooron anyone. I find myself spendingmore for lunch at fast foodrestaurants than the luncheons of-feredStby*The^ Buoy. Of course,many patrons think that servedlunch takes too much time. TheBuoy realizes that most of itsguests have less than one hour, se-cond they do a great job of gettingyou* in and out at your request.You are never pushed or rushedinto "moving along"; only at

    Fine food , friendly service, and a unique decor make The Buoy one of the area's most popular srestaurants.

    your convenience. Dinner is evenmore enjoyable, the quiet sereneatmosphere creates a setting ofcontentment. 5I had the distinct pleasure ofdining with Coach Tony DeMeo,a celebrity in the world of foot-ball. Coach DeMeo's philosophyis truly a wonder. I found in hisappreciation of The Buoy'scuisine, extending far beyond hiscareer jargon, a} delightful ac-count of historic comparisons tomany other culinary delights."Gee, this is great," "zesty,"tangy", "super service,""THIS IS THE BESTnONEYET!," were comments oozingfreely from a man who is excitableonly in the presence of greatmoments. This portion of thearti-cle is not meant as a testamonial,but a play-by-play account froman individual who appreciatesgreat food, anytime, anywhere.This appreciation is shared byCoach DeMeo's wife JoAnn.They both have, had 'warm andmemorable experiences at TheBuoy. J .JjjjI enjoyed The Buoy's stuffedflounder. This entree' involvedtender fillets stuffed with a lightlyseasoned mixture- of crabmeat.

    Entertainment!limited ability. Jennifer Beals maynot have had the fancy footwork,but her charismatic character inFlashdance was a "smash" forthe box office. The box officetook a smash with the productionEasy Money, a film obviously in-tended for Rodney Dangerfieldfans only. "Rappin Rodney" hadbetter find another way to getrespect.Also in 1983,, we saw DustinHoffman 'become a; "she" inTootsie and Barbara 'Streisandbecome aT"He" in Yentl. Bothmay have hidden their sexualidentities, but not their power tocapture their audience anddominate the screen. As fordomination, what "shot up " thescreen in Scarface and Sudden Im-pact may have been a little tooviolent for the m ass audience. ButClint Eastwood still continues to

    have a large number of fans andas fo r Al P a c i n o , he'soutstanding!Emotional impact sure pulled inthe audience in Terms of Endear-ment. Jack Nicholson and ShirleyMacLaine are perfect examples of"The oldies being the goodies."But - in the past few years manyyoung actors and actresses havemade their marks, one beingMeryl Streep. Although Silkwooddidn't cover too much of thenuclear side o f the subject matter,the talent fulfilled the plot enoughto make the movie entertaining.|The 1983 film, The Big Chill,certainly was different from anyof the films already mentioned.The director, producer combinedexcellent talent and an intriguingplot with a bit of psychology. Asthe characters went through in-trospection and analysis, so did

Abountiful portion served on asizzling platter accompanied bythe best home style chunkpotatoes (served in a;side-dish)gave way to the unique style thatis The Buoy restaurant. It's agreat pleasure to find a restaurantthat knows how to treat seafood!Seafood requires careful attentionfrom the moment it is purchased,through:.cooking, and finally itsservice toj the table. Mostrestaurants fail to treat; freshseafood in this manner. Perhapsthis is the reasoning behind limita-tions in offering a wide selectionfrom the ocean. This fear is put to.rest when one dines at Erie's finestseafood restaurant. Fromknecht,a 25-plus-year veteran of; therestaurant trade, knows how totreat seafood.*This should comeas i no j surprise to local Erieiteswho frequently eat at The Buoy.Stone crockware, oversizeddrinks, table lanterns with minianchors, cracked butter boats (inthe shape of a dinghy) and a welltuned serving staff will furtherguarantee a successful lunch, or anight out, all packaged in agracious as ?well as 9 affordablemanner.

    First In A SeriesMercyhurst Student Government PresidentExamines And Assesses 1983-84 MSGBy Martha CampEDITOR'S NOTE: The followingis part on e of a series* on theassessments and views of the1983-84 Mercyhurst StudentGovernment as seen by MSGPresident Dave R obinson.Q. What is your assessment ofstudent government this year?It's!; great. I think its the bestgovernment we've ever had. Atthe meetings the different com-mittees have a chance to spendthat extra 15 minutes that wewould have spent talking amongstall of us. We let the committeeswork'on whatever they're assign-ed to work o n. And then the com-mittees,J during committee up-dates,: get to present whatever itwas that they worked on from theweek before. What it has done is,rather than having one-hourmeetings where you get: maybe ahalf-hours work done, we havemaybe half-hour meetings and weget an hour's worth of work done.This has helped all around.Our attendance is really good.We never seem to have a problem.At the beginning and toward theend of the year last year, we didhave a couple problems if youremember, with quorums andstuff like that, but we were miss-ing it by like one, two. But oncewe got our new reps elected, withfreshman reps and all that,*andonce we got our full governmentbody together, we haven't hadany p r o b l e m s s i n c e - t h e n .Everybody has pretty much had alittle input here and there. And,whenever we do hit an issue-thisweek, now we've started to workon some constitutional revisions,the constitutional Revision Com-mittee that's headed by MissyHurlburt ijhas been meetingthroughout the year. They'vebeen trying to decipher becausethe constitution we've been goingby, has been updated, but it wasnever recompiled, and put backtogether with all the revisions. So,what they've had to do is gothrough all theminutes o f thepastmeetings for the last two yearsand find out exactly when they didpass a new revision and when theymight have dropped sometling oradded something. The committeefinally got an idea of where westood today, and now they're star-ting to decide how we want tolook tomorrow. And the firstthing that's in the agenda that westarted last week was droppingclub and organization reps. Thephilosophy behind dropping theclub and organization reps is thatit leads to double and triplerepresentation.

    Now, that means that, if you'rea Computer Science major, andyou're in the ski club, and you'rea commuter, you have your com-muter rep, you have your com-puter science rep and you have,n o w , a dub rep which would beyour ski club rep. So, that personhas three reps whereas somebodywhose a Apolitical science major

    who lives :here at school, andthat's it, doesn't belong toorganizations, they have theirresident rep, which every residenthas, and they have their majorrep. It gives them extra reps, thanother people. What they're tryingto do is trim things down so thatequal representation is affordedto everyone.Now, we don't take ourselvesso seriously in the student govern-ment to think that lobby blocs aregoing to build and people are go-ing to get together and form littleblocs here and vote in this andthat. Things have runpretty muchso far, in my experience, by con-sensus in , the government, thenthings operate a lot better.Everybody's either agreed onsomething or somebody's broughtup a valid point which has shiftedthe opinion. And, aside fromthat, that's the smoothest func-tion that I can see once we get aconsensus in the government, thenthing operate a lot better.L The lecture series, jwe didn'thave any problems with. Ourspecial' projects committee hasbeen handling that. They handlethe receptions, ithey handle thetickets, posters and the publicity.We have a committee to takecare of the bus as far as schedul-ing, things like that. It is neededwhen you have different orderscoming in from different areas ofthe school, and everybody wantsto know when it is available. So,we have people to jjtake care ofthat.We have an Activities DayCommittee that was just formed,and Kathy O'Conner and KarenGens run that. From what they'vebeen saying, they've been gettingfairly steady turnout of about fiveor six people that keep showing upto the meetings. It's re al, earlyStill, and Activities'Day isn't tillMay. So, as the time gets closer,we'll get more input.Q. Obviously, you think thatthequality of the MSG meetings isgood. Do yon like the new systemof shorter meetings and longercommittee m eetings?Yes. The only thing that Iwould complain - about that Iwould like to see is more peoplethat aren't elected reps in studentgovernment." I mean people thatare just' students, that have someattitude towards something orsome concern about something tocome to the meeting and voicetheir opinion. Most of the thingsthat we've been doing have beensetting up services like theTransport Service to go home forthe people that live in New York,and different things like1 that.We're* pretty much setting upsomething new and providing aservice. We haven't gotten toomuch into issues or concernsbecause unless I-see somethingand I can bring it to the meeting,one of those other 25 or 30 peoplecan see something and come to themeeting, then you're kind of

    limited. But if other people wouldcome in the m eetings, just walk infrom wherever they are, and saylisten, this is bothering me, whatcan you do about this? I've handl-ed a lot of that stuff one to onewith people that have come in theOffice and said they had a pro-blem with this thing, checking itout, or what's going on here,what's going on there. That's myfavorite part-to be able to tellsomebody like that, and be able todo something for somebody,through this positio n!Q. Since your officer core wasall new this year, do yon feel thatthis has been beneficial ordetrimental to your government?Well-both ways. On a personallevel, its kind of hard to take forfour or five people from it to tallydifferent areas of the school,where you knew everybodybefore, but you never were involv-ed with them on a very deep level.Everybody's got their own friendsand their things that they do andpeople that J they have things incommon with. We have five peo-ple from totally different areasthrown together at the end of lastyear and expected to run a govern-ment that had been set up overyears, to run pretty smoothly.That had a lot of burden on theofficer core, because swe meettwice a week and we're here everyday and run everything on a day-to-day basis. The reps prettymuch tell us what to do and thenwe have the job of doing itthrough the week. It's really hardto take five people that have hard-ly anything in common and thatdidn't know each other too'wellbefore iand throw them togetherand expect everything to runsmooth. Of course, we ran intosome difficulties in the beginning,but we did wind up workingthings out and,' right now, I feeltotally comfortable. * *Q. What are some of the newthings that have come about dur-ing this year for the students endthe school in general?Well, tangible kind of thingw.We have the Transport Service.We've got an increasing amountof freshman coming from theNew York, Long Island, NewJersey, and Philadelphia area.Now, those people, when I washere over vacation over the sum-mer, I helped at the orientations. Imet the parents at the differentfunctions that they had set up forparents and one of the biggestconcerns that some parents voicedto me was that they were fromLong Island and they dreaded the10 hour trip t o get here and back.And, every vacation, they didn'twant to have to drive their kid outhere and drive back. The kid isjust fresh out o f high school, andprobably never has been this faraway from home before. Theywere concerned about their travelarrangements, and they said youpretty much either have to go toPittsburgh or. Buffalo 1 to get aTHE MERCIAD

    ramflight to New Jersey. So, to takeadvantage of those cheap flightsto New Jersey, we had the bus.We came up with the idea to setup the Holiday Transport Serviceto take thole people to the >air-port, send them home and thenpick them up when they get back.It is a nice convenience.The other things are like theVideo Room. Last year, theprevious government passed aresolution to spend out of ourCapital improvements for theUnion to buy a large screen TVset* S o, we bought the large screenTV set. Then, it was pretty muchlike what are we going to do withthis? This is a nice investment andits something that's worthwhile,so over the summer again (that'sone of the things where being hereOver the summer helped a lot) theymoved all the music room out ofthat area in Zurn. So, I spoke withDr. Garvey and convinced himthat we could make better use ofthis room than anybody else. So,we built it. It took a long time,because of different deals hereand there but we finally got theroom finished. We have a'.placefor the TV set.-Now, that roomcan be used like the Back PorchCafe is used by*many differentgroups around campus and off-campus, too, for little functionsand meetings and things like that.The Video Room now offers usour own meeting room where ourcommittees can meet, we can holdreceptions there, SAC can havetheir movies there, and we can getgood use out of the TV set. Wecan also open it up, which wehave, to the community, so that,

    Dave R obinson ^there's meeting rooms available atthe school when other rooms arebooked. Now we have anothermeeting area where the school canmeet.j. We can also, with the TVset, can take advantage of themassive amount of videos that canbe used for learning instruments.With the Supreme Court decisionto take things off the TV set wecan take things from PBS nowand use .them discreetly forclassroom enhancement. A goodexample, we taped the entire Viet-nam series. Now, Erisman andsome of theother Political Scienceteachers can use parts of it fortheir class to emphasize this pointor that point. S o, a class can go tothe Video Room rather than be allcramped up in a screening room inMedia Services.f The Alumni* were using thelarge screen TV over the summerto show the Mercyhurst film.Now, rather than moving the TVaround, we have one place andthey can just come there and seeit. * jg ? j -; rThe freshman, during orienta-tion, saw the same film, and wemoved the TV around.- Now,we've got one place where peoplecan pop in and see this. Thepossibilities ; for use are onlylimited by your imagination. Youcan use that room for just aboutanything.rii

    FootballRevisionFinalized|J Good News! The NCAA ha sdecided to accept th e proposal toexpand the Division III footballplayoff structure.; Instead of the previous systemwhere only eight teams were in -vited to participate, now 16 teamswill enter th e championshipround.This would mean that fourteams from th e four regions willbe table to enter th e drive to benumber one in the country. Lastyear th e Mercyhurst team endedsixth in the region.Obviously, Laker coach TonyDeMeo is happy about the switch.The only possible drawback to thee x pa ns i o n i s the extendedschedule. Under th e new format,the 1984 championship wouldbegin Sunday, November. 17, withfirst round games and finally con-clude on December 8 with th efinal championship contest.{ * THEMERCIAD
