work was to be completed last week, but
now is to be finished before Nov. 1. The
deadline for this culmination is determined
by the availability of supplies. The com-
panies providing hot asphalt in the Erie
area all close on the first of November. If
the work is not done by then, it will not be
finished until next Spring, J.

snowplowing techniques. The snow has to

edges of the lots as much as possible. In the
Erie winters, this results in a snow buildup
that eventually covers the spaces toTthe
edges of the lots.
Some offthe techniques under review
would include revised overnight parking
regulations* reserved parking for. certain
lots and revised parkmg areas for the
Townhouses and Briggs Ave. apartments.
When asked about the repair of the other
parking lots, Kennedy stated that this issue
would probably be addressed next Spring,
when the resources such as asphalt will be
available again.

Vampires Described! Andi Deliberated
By Dr. Viveila G. Petronio
Tonight, when the moon is dark
and mists roll through bare bran-
ches, imagine the silhouette of a
great bat soaring above the cam-
pus and listen to the distant howl-
ing of the "Children of the
Night.'* This is the proper and
familiar setting for the Prince of
Evil, the Vampire.
Even today, in our eminently
scientific, high-tech society, the
vampire exerts a great attraction.
His hold, like his grasp, is preter-
natu rally strong * because it
depends on his allegorical and
mythical significance.
A vampire is by definition a
dead person who, according to
popular superstition, leaves his
grave at night to suck the blood of
the living. He is, therefore, a per-
son who has refused to die, refus-
ed to resign himself to the human
condition. The question is how to
foil death, and the vampire's
answer is: take in more life.
This he does through drinking

If you answered yes - to one (or

Personality Profile: Gary Smith
by Breads Kondik
S "By keeping busy, I accomplish
goals and feel successful. This
feeling is what gives me the energy
to do all I do." These are the
words of Gary Smith, a junior at
Mercyhurst College this year.
Gary graduated from Seneca
High School, where he was class
president, an active member of
student government and pitched
for the baseball team. Having
played football for four years at
Seneca, he is now assistant foot-
ball coach for his alma mater.
After graduating from Seneca,
Smith attended Behrend College
for a semester as an undecided
major. He then transferred to
Mercyhurst as a Communications
major. He is now studying Social
Science Education to become a
teacher of Social Studies. " I
came to Mercyhurst because I
switched majors and wanted to
coach football," adds Smith, $
Smith is also serving in the
Marine Corps as a Lance Cor-
poral. He comes from a line of
Marines, since his father is a
Master Gunnery Sergeant in the
Marine Corps. This is Smith's
the blood of his victims, blood
which, according to ancient and
primitive beliefs, carries the traits
and qualities of a person, and,
therefore, his life. In Bram
Stoker's DRACULA, the biblical
quotation, "For the blood is the
life," is like a refrain which intox-
icates both Dracula and Renfield,
his disciple. The vampire is a kind
of predator whose prey is his
fellow creature. He never sleeps at
night, but must roam the earth,
seeking a victim to sate his thirst
and to ensure his eternal
existence. *j
Because of this condition set for
his survival, the vampire takes on
a characteristic appearance: He is
usually pale and languid, yet he
exercises a virile, cat-like attrac-
tion over hs victims. He is ex-
tremely strong, possessing the
strength of twenty men and has
more than mortal cunning since
he has lived several lifetimes. His
hypnotic gaze not only places his
victims in a trance, but adds to his

Gold Is "The; Color Of Money
By Brian Sheridan
Most of the time sequels merely

lacks the creativity or Intensity of
the first because basically it's pro-
fit that was the motive for making
it. Now comes THE COLOR OF
MONEY, the sequel to THE
HUSTLER, comes 25 years later;
but it doesn't act like a sequel. It
operates as an. independent film, |
almost surpassing THE
HUSTLER in excellence, from its
complex script to its intense, high-
powered performances.
Director Martin Scorsese has
created the most driven and
charged atmosphere seen "in any
film made so far this year. The
'j nail-biting pressure pumps
throughout like a water spraying
from a fire hose. Amazingly,
Scorsese creates this intensity not
only from the script but from the
dynamic chemistry that exists bet-
- ween Newman and Cruise.
For those who don't remember
Robert Rossen's THE
HUSTLER, don't worry. The on-j
ly thing that has to be known, and
the film explains it, is that "Fasti
Eddie" Felson (Newman) once
was a big-time pool shark twenty
years ago. Now he peddles liquor
having put down the cue ten years
ago, an act he may or may not
regret. Nothing else from the 1961
film needs to be known because
nothing else gets up-dated. Walter
Tevis' novel upon which this film
was based, recounts the reunion
of Felson and Minnesota Fats,

said, "I felt Matt's ability as a

The job of Circulation Manager
makes Pawlowski responsible for
getting the newspaper to its
various locations around campus,
as well as, mailing issues out to
subscribers. All the usually soft
spoken Pawlowski had to say
about his appointment was that he
finds it " e x c i t i n g and a

Newman and Cruise crackles at a
high voltage intensity. You would
need a chain saw to cut it.
The air of gutter-existentialism
that surrounded THE HUSTI ER
has been replaced with a pas-
sionate atmosphere of sexual
power caused by the lust for
money. Scorsese uses many tight
facial close-ups and whirling
camera movements that creates
the passion. The quick-cutting of
the pool cues and billard balls also
adds to the potent sexual imagry.
THE COLOR OF MONEY
sinks the nine ball on the opening'
break and never lets go of its tight
grip around the viewer's throat.
It's not a downer of a movie
though. Many scenes are quite
amusing and there's even a witty
inside joke with Steve "I'm just
showing off" Miserak. All the
while though, there's a slimy,
uneasy feeling that creeps up like
a shark. A tour-de-force for
everyone involved and one of the
most involving movies of this
year. /
Health Tip
Question!with apologies to Ger-
trude Stein): Is it true that a drink
is a drink is a dank?
Answer: To some degree this is
true. Drinkers must first realize
that 12 oz. of beer, 5 oz. of wine,
and 1 1 Vi oz. spirits contain ap-
proximately the same amount of
alcohol. However, we must take
into consideration that some mix-
ed drinks contain a variety of dif-
ferent alcohol which can
strengthen the alcoholic content
of the drink. It is important to
make sure that you do not do all
of your drinking at once. Space
your drinks over a reasonable
amount of time. Finally, we must
remember that the weight of a
person has a direct relationship to
the effect the alcohol will take and
how long and how much a person
can drink before reaching the
danger zone or the point of being
legally drunk. } I 1*

how poor the people were in that
I would start shipping clothes,
and on Oct. 10th of that same
year, I went back down with a
lady who had collected a half-ton
of clothing.
The people who receive the
clothing live in the poverty
stricken area of Appalachia, near
the foothills of the Appalachian
Mountains. T
The Sisters of Mercy have ship-
ped a considerable amount of
clothing to the area since 1974. In
just the past three school years
they've snipped over 12 tons of
clothing to Todd County.
* * We Ve shipped one-and-a-
half tons of clothing since Sept. 1,
1986 and we shipped five tons
| during the 1985-86 school year,
and six tons during the 1984-85
school year," said Sr. Josephine.
The clothing is shipped via
Lyons Transportation Lines and
is then placed in a Goodwill store
in Elkton, Ky. near the Glenmary
Missionary. Lyons Transporta-
tion Lines has been assisting the
Sisters of Mercy in this respect for
the past six years.
The Sisters of Mercy are look-
ing for donations. "We would
like to receive usable clothing and
small household items." said Sr.
Josephine. ^ QUEEN* Sundee. All for only $1.99. Oat a good deal
The Sisters of Mercy also need
more people for packing, and
collecting.
Donations can be dropped off
near the Computer Center in the
basement of Preston Hall.

with a 2-1 loss to Grove City. The
