Students And Alumni

Enjoy 87 Homecoming 9

By Alice Dixon weekend. 1

"Hail, Hail, the gang'sfell here"
could be heard floating over the|
Mercyhurst*campus this weekend
as the alumni gathered to enjoy a
few days of festive activities.
Welcomed to Mercy hurst were
the honored alumni of the gradu-
ating classes as far back as;1929.
Featured classes at this year's
function are 1937, which is cele-
brating its 50 year anniversary,
1962,,which is celebrating its 25
year reunion and 1977, celebrat-
ing its 10 year reunion. * £
This, past weekend's schedule of
^events included a tailgate party, a
ptftBall garrie, a;soccedr game and
an alumni crew race. ^Trading
stories about the good old days was
also a' popular event this past
The evening entertainment at the
dinner dance was the Ken Hands
band, an alumnus of the class of
1987;'*alsojspinning discs was an
alumnus of the class of 1976, Joel
Miller, the mobile disc! jockey.
The coordinator of this year's
Homecoming, Mr. Tom Dore, Di-
rector of Alumni Relations, was
very pleased with how well every-
thing came together at his party.
"As a matter of fact," he said, "If
the tent (for the tailgate party)
hadn't blown away, everything
would have been perfect."
fc Even though the weather was>a
little gray, the clouds couldn't cast
a shadow over the 500 alumni who
gathered together this weekend to
rekindle old friendships and make
some new ones. *

Language Labi Opens

By Ann Johnson
Students this year have the
advantage of using Mercyhurst's
new $25,000 high-tech language
lab, the most advanced lab in the
Erie area. \ !| The lab is open mornings and
Located in room 21 of Egan, the
equipment available allows upfto
14 students to study up to 5 differ-
ent languages. Barbara Moskwa,
director of the language lab, said
"the addition of the lab provides
an enormous enhancement for
your teaching." j
Moskwa calls the lab a compu-
terized sophisticated opportunity
past weekend?
to aid the student in the pronun-
ciation and memorization of a
foreign language. The lab creates
an* immediate ability to respond
and allows the student to work at
his own pace.
evenings, and can be used by
arrangement by anyone.,. English
tapes are available for any foreign
studentsjon campus who want to
improve ^their English skills.
Besides English tapes, there are
also tapes available in French,
Spanish, Italian, German and Pol-

National Alcohol Awareness! W e e k To Test K n o w l e d g e of Youth
Campuses around the nation are preparing for the
fourth annual*National Cdllegiate*Alcohol Awareness
Week (October 19-25), making ready to test yqung people
on their knowledge of alcohol. How responsible are
college students about drinking? Passing the Equiva-
lence ^Aptitude Testi(E.A.T.)?is a key measure of^how
much students know about alcohol consumption.
To pass the E.A.T. you must know this simple but
crucial formula: The most'common servings of beer (12
ounces), wine (5s ounces)'arid dtsfriflelr spirits (1 1/4
ounces) contain equal »aii|ouat%of alcohol. ^ J food likefcfi&ese caal slow flown .the absorption rate.ylf
Far too many accidents are caused by young people
who get behind the wheel of a.car!thinking "I'm fine.
I only had a few|beers." Such misinformation is all too
often deadly. Maybe that's why 50% of all driving
fatalities are caused by drunk drivers.* And why|two-
thirds of all those arrested for DWI "just had* a few
beers."

.'Whether a glass holds 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1 'A ounces of spirits, the alcoi
content is the same. Its important to know this because the size and shape of the glass can give
people a distorted impressu >n of how much alcohol they're actually drinking.
So when you're out to share some cheer with friends, remember how mui h alcohol is in your
glass and that drinking sensibly lets you hold things in focus.
Always keep safe driving within your sight.

A public service message from Wffl Roge&
The Merciad OCTOBER! 8 r 1987
TheseIcommonisense college survival tips may also
save lives during the school year:
1> Don't drive after your next tailgate party or happy
hour - whether you've had beer, wine or distilled spirits.
One* American dies in an alcohol-relatedjtraffie acci-
dent every 35 minutes? Better walk an extra^mile orjg
spend the night at a friend's than risk taking lives on

3> Don't be pushed into drinking more than you can
handle and don't pressure your friends to keep up with
you. Everyone has an individual tolerance. Let your
friends pace themselves.
4> Keep a watchful eye: Cocktails should contain no
more than 11/4 ounces of distilled spirits. Wine is
commonly no more than a 5 ounce serving and a typical
serving of beer is 12 ounces. If you're mixing your own
drink use a shot glass to measure theliquor.

depressed over a test, drinking will depress you further.
Herefare some common and dangerous myths about
ii alcohol that should be dispelled:^
Myth #1. You can pace yourself by switching from
liquor to beer or wine. Wrong. You consume the same
amount of alcohol and can^get just as drunk - from
common servings of beer, wine and liquor. :
Myth #2. ^Coffee can sober you up if you're drunk.
Wrong again. Coffee may wake you;up. but it won't
sober you up. If you drink one too many and then have
a cup of coffee and drive,|you are just a wide-awake
