here at Mercyhurst and originally
did a paper on commercial

discussed the counterfeit

to write another paper.
In large cities such as Detroit,
Chicago, Miami and New York,
millions of dollars in coupon
fraud occur every year. Nee
believes t hat J the middle Eastern
criminals are controlling the
racket.
Coupon fraud has many faces.
It can be anything from printing
phony coupons yourself to the
store's own cashiers slipping
coupons into their cash drawers
and keeping the money reimburs-
ed from the coupons.
Nee's coupon fraud paper will
be published in the December
1986 issue of the "Journal of

tative has been renamed. It is now
called the Sally Schrader Award.
It will still be given to the most

A major issue discussed at the
meeting was parking. Kelly in-
formed the representatives that 40
new spaces were being made in

many of the representatives did
not feel that this would help very
much. Some feel that commuters

should not park there. Many of
the representatives also felt that
they and others in the Mercyhurst
community were being given un-
fair parking tickets. Kelly stated
that he would look into the issue
and get back to them next week.
Another need mentioned at the
meeting was*for more machines

The seminar he has planned for
the Mercyhurst community will
try to show the enormity of
coupon fraud as well as who's in-
volved. Nee wishes to "expose to
a very active criminal activity of
which few are aware." Currently,
Nee is working on a paper dealing
with product diversion. His
knowledge of the various types of
white collar crime is as diverse as
his background in others forms of
crime. i
All are welcome and invited to
the seminar which will be held in
the * faculty dining & room. The
presentation will begin at 4:30
p.m.
The two machines on campus now
are always selling out, especially
over the weekend when the
bookstore is closed. Before ad-
journing the meeting Kelly
asserted that he would see what
could be done about this
situation. *5

DiFonzo had an advisor to
report to, but all of the research
completed was her own.
However, for her first week,
DiFonzo had a different advisor
in which she had to hatch 100
alligator eggs herself.
DiFonzo was evaluated by her
advisor and the results were sent
to Oak Ridge and Mercyhurst's
Biology Dept. She was informed
of her evaluations and her
research will be submitted in an
Oak Ridge research paper. ^*

she said, "but, I had results and

In last week's Merciad we saw
some of the qualifications of
gubernatorial candidates Bob

week, due to the fact that slightly
less publicity has been given to the
senate race, we will focus on the
candidates in that competition.

old Republican incumbent Arlen
