1976
The 'Hurst's annual weekend
celebration of Halloween was
very successful again this year.
It kicked off with a special
"Halloween Buffet" in? the
cafeteria. *i
SAGA outdid themselves and
showed the type of quality meals
they can prepare by serving
Italian ;pasta, meatballs, {roast
beef (masterfully carved by Kent
Koch), a Halloween cake, cookies
and pumpkin pie> I \ \
The tables were decorated with
pumpkins which had been carved
and entered in a contest spon-
sored by SAGA. Winners were
Kate Berry, (third prize), Matt
Hill, (second), and Bridget Beck
(first). ! ' |
Students 'remarked that the
buffet was really great.
"It was really good,"9 said
Freshman Brian France. |"The
plates should have been bigger to
hold all that food."\ ? John Strickland.
To continue the weekend, all-
night horror movies were shown
Saturday night in Zurn Recital
hall. "Race with the Devil," The
Corpse Grinders" and "Ten Little
Indians" were a few*of the
frightening flicks sponsored I by
Student Government.
The movies were well-attended
with the Recital Hall being
almost entirely filled for the first
few movies. As the night
progressed, though, the audience
became progressively | smaller
and by 7 a.m., only a few die-
hards remained., zi ^^
Saturday night was also
'mischief night'; and there were
the annual shaving cream and
water battles raging across
campus, $& %
Security was out in force and
kept damage to a minimum.

when a window in Baldwin was
broken by some over-zealous
marauders from McAuley. r^jSt

Hall lobby from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Candidates Jeff Best, Pat
Condrin and Chris Van Waganen
are vying to replace Mary Beth
Ward, who resigned October 21.
Ms. Ward, who was selected
MSG secretary last May as a
freshman,,said the job was in-
terfering? with her classroom
work. She will continue her duties
until a successor is elected.
The i Merciad questioned all

backgrounds, past experience
and qualification for i the post.
Excerpts appear below.

double major* in marketing

by Mini 1 Mouse, drenched with
water by space creatures, choked
by4 Dracula, confronted by
hookers,? winked at by Ftran-
svestites, and sung to by 5 the
farmer- i n-the-dell. j
Winners of the contest were:

Music for the dance was
provided by "Wave." The group
kept everything going, and played
music from top 40's boogie, to

All! in all, - the Halloween
weekend was a great success.!

Peruvian national team and 1 am anxious to see the Lakers in action.

Coach Foxs' team has been hampered with injuries already, but I'm
sure they will be ready to go when the regular games begin. With Mer-
cyhurst's three tallest players to see limited action due to injuries, the
Lakers might have to rely on the outside shooting game more. H
As the intramural football playoffs begin, its a whole new ball game
because the regular season records mean nothing. Pot Luck and the
Henry's both drew byes in the opening round, due to the fact that they
finished first and second in the standings. I'll tell you right now, look
for some upsets in the play off action. |» BE • i L *
