At the request of Mercyhurst students, John Valby
will be performing in the Coffee House on Tuesday,
February 24. He is also known by other names, such
as "Dr. Dirty." For those of you who have seen Valby
perform, as I have, I can objectively say that the
content \ of his act consists j of off-colored con-
versations, songs,'and jokes (to put it midly). When I
watched Valby's performance, it was at the Red
Carpet Inn in Florida last spring. The color of the act
got darker and darker. I left half way through? the
act. The * crowd was getting louder and!louder and
responding in fthe same terminology as Valby.
Granted, Valby possesses great potential as a singer
and pianist; but to many, the message comes across
as obscene. A few selections, on the other hand, were
done in good taste and rather funny; however, they
are heavily outweighed jby the opposite extreme.
*• And so, blessing and cursing come pouring out of the
same mouth. Dear brothers, this is not right!"
(James 3:10) That decision lies with each one of us.
Will we continue to use our money in this way?

After two years of living on this campus I feel that
S.A.C. under the direction of Prank Sirotnak has been
doing a fabulous job. They have increased the
•number of activities both on and off campus and the
quality of these have improved immensely. i
I must admit I did not attend the Valentine's Day
Dance However, after speaking to many students
who did attend, the general consensus felt that the
dance was quite a success considering they only had w*£> • *+»+*
a couple of weeks to plan it. ^ fW 1 |
The publicity for all the activities has been more

the Mercyhurst Community will open their eyes, take
note and support these well thought out events! Keep

Guest Editorial

To the Editor: § |*
I would like to ^comment on the letter written by
Jeff Best and Tony Quint in last weeks paper con-
cerning the call to the media, r- I
In your letter it was stated you had found by
utilizing "proper channels" you seemed to get no
immediate action to serious problems. Well, as a
member of R.U.S. Ijjfeel slighted that we weren't
notified of a problem or that a chosen group of
students were taking such a drastic action (calling
the media) on campus. By "we" I^mean any one of
the four officers or any representative in R.U.S.
To go into'further detail, there were several
members of R.U.S. living in McAuley Hall at the time
of theJprobkfth. These members of R.lTlS; could have
in turn contacted Jim Hallamyer who has influence in
the administration to get quick action. This action
could have taken place in the same time period as it
took to call the media. The impact may very possibly
have been the same. • *'
This could have accomplished 2 things:
1) We wouldn't have had to broadcast our inner-
Mercyhurst-community problems to the public,
which isn't their business or concern.
2) You would have utilized a very influential
vehicle of communication here on campus: R.U.S.
I would like to make an appeal to all students on or
off campus: contact <-R.U.S. ^before taking drastic
actions like thisJn the future. You may think that
these actions are helping your individual cause in the
short run, but in the long run, they are completely
hindering another l cause of other individuals and
departments in the college community, fe* I

Is it rare that one college campus houses students
of another college?jjNot really, butUhis year Mercy-
hurst and Behrend are working hand-in-hand to help
with the housing problem* at the local, Penn State
Campus. Since the Sesler apartments faced an
abundance of open apartments an agreement was
worked between the two schools and Sesler Realty
that the Behrend students may live on the Mercy-
hurst campus under the rules and stipulations of the
Sesler contract and also of Mercyhurst College. This
means that even though they attend Behrend College
they abide by Mercyhurst rules, t 4 v v
The situation being as it is, when we moved into our
apartment we found to our amazement that the other
three apartments on our floor were being occupied by
Behrend students. At first we were dismayed at the
thought of having non-Mercyhurst students, but we
later found out that this can and would be a fulfilling
experience. How? Read oa ^ ;
Not only is living in the apartments a good ex-
perience to meeting new and interesting people, but
with people living here from a different college it
gives us a better chance to not only meet new people,
but also to find out about their school, its policies,
school life and everything else we would want to know
about their school. We also like to compare their
classes and scheduling with ours.
terested in, is the social activities. Now I'm • not
saying that we have wild parties, because everyone
knows that these are against school policies(???),
but when we do get together socially, we get a cross-
fire of students from Mercyhurst and Behrend. Each
one tries to outdo the other one's school. These social
events not only provide a good time for all but also
brings us together as neighbors. I say this because
not only were we a bit timid to the Behrend students
at first, but they were also a bit timid toward us. But
as we got to know each-other better we realize how
important it is to have good neighbors that get along
so well with us. So if you have people living on your
floor that: you'hardly gee they might be Behrend
students, so take a little time to be friendly to them, it
might pay off. / * ^ f $

...Spring term break continues from March 13-22;
Easter vacation, April 9-20. This leaves.the Mercy-
hurst student with a two week spread between
vacations. Obviously, this new addition to the
academic calendar is totally absurd. The out of town
student must find transportation andj cover Jthe
transporation expenses of care, bus, train or plane. §j
This becomes a* frustrating and unnecessary ex-
perience to confront our students with .| Remember,
almost half of the Mercyhurst enrollment is students
who are non-local residents." A need for future
revision of such plans is definitely essential i in
meetingthe needs of many 'Hurst students. g| qjg
.The Valentines Day Dance held at ^Rainbow
Gardens on Feb. 14 had a successful outcome.
Suorisingly many students attended and R.U.S. and
SAC accomplished a great feat of uniting Mercy-
hurst students. As various school organizations know,
is next to impossible to attain student involvement.

Miracle Wins by Dave Bohun

The Miracle Gang, still in
the running for an NAIA
District 18 playoff bid, faces
another "must win" week as
they conclude their ^regular
season with two road ap-
pearances.
Coach <Dave Markey's
Mercyhurst Lakers, who tied
a school l recordj* Monday by
defeating Pitt-JohnstownHor
their seventh straight victory,
visit Penn State-Behrend
Wednesday (8:00)*$ and
journey ];to Point Park
Saturday? (2:00 Allegheny
Community College
Fieldhouse). *>
Mercyhurst must winjboth
contests in order to remain in
contention for a spot in the
post-season »playoffsv If the
Lakers win their remaining
two games, they will own a 10-
1 district record - the best in
the area, f
Currently Edinboro I State
(18-3) f and Indiana (17-2)
appear to have bids locked
up. J Mercyhurst (12-7),
waynesburg (15-5), and
Clarion State (14-8) are still in
contention for the remaining
two playoff bids. Therefore,
the winner of Saturday's
Laker-Pioneer- game could
earn a spot in the playoffs
while the loser can wait until
next year. $.< « $
The Lakers defeated the
Pioneers 89-74 two weeks ago
in Erie. Ail-American center
Jesse Campbell (6-9, senior,
Stockbridge, Mich.) paced
the Lakers with 26 points and
12 rebounds. Paul Young
(forward 6-3,; soph. Pitts-
burgh) chipped in 15 tallies
and Bob Repko (forward, 6-5,
senior, Erie) added 11.? \ ;
Point Park is paced by
guard Bobby Franklin. He
tallied 25 against the Lakers
in their earlier meeting and is
averaging 24.6 for the season.
Forward Kevin Walls follows
at 10.6. He scored 14 in Erie.
Before the Lakers can think
about Point Park, they must
Row
face a 7-14 Penn State-
Behrend squad in their quest
for a school record eighth
straight victory. The Cubs
are paced by Jon Kennedy
(center, 14.1) and guard
Eddie Evans (13.3).
The Lakers continued their
path to the playoffs last week
with victories over Slippery
Rock I State (71-48) and St.
Vincent (69-65). Monday, the
Lakers defeated Pitt-
Johnstown 83-72 in their final
regular season home ap-
pearance.
Campbell paces the team in
rebounding and scoring with
22.1 and 15.4* averages,
respectively. Young follows
with 12.4 and 6.5 figures.
Mike Molnar (guard, 6-1,
senior, Lorain, Ohio): is
scoring at a 10.3 pace and
leads the team in assists with
69. He registered 11 assists fat
the Pitt- Johnstown game - one
short of the school record.

Icemen Refuse by Pat Condrm

After this week's lay-off the
Mercyhurst Hockey team
returned to |the ice last
Tuesday night, and preceded
to pick up where they had left
off by skating off with two
more very impressive vic-
tories, i * T
The first victim of the
Mercyhurst M anglers was the
always tough Keystone
Hockey club. From * the
opening face-off the outcome
was apparent,gas the^'Hurst
skaters scored early and often
while on ^their way to a 8-1
thrashing of the Keystone
club. The 'Hurst's defensive
line was again in command of
Ever 1 Melt
the ice, as they rarely allowed
the Keystone skaters to get
off any kind of accurate shots.
While the defense was almost,
skating out the opposition, the
Hurst offensive unit, under
the divine guidance of player-
| coach Terry Sullivan, was
having one of the best nights
of the season. 4> *
The second victory of the
week came on Thursday
night,'when the 'Hurst came
out on top of a contest with
their arch-rivals .the
Plymouth f Tavern; Club. It
was aj( 1 hard hitting,
aggressive, game, however
the 'Hurst had a difficult time
overcoming some first period
jittersJlt took some time for
the offense to get in gear, -but
when they did, it was not long
before Y the red light was
flashing, and the 'Hurst was
in the lead. The final score
showed the 'Hurst on top by a
4-1 county : l
4 As usual both games were
played in front of S.R.O. x
crowds, in the new? Mercy-
hurst sports complex. Tickets
are now on sale for their next
game, when the Mercyhurst
