By Taye C. ColesSaturday, February 21, was ared-letter day on the calendar forall the Erieites who considerthemselves believers in humanrights. Whv? This dav comedianand black activist, Dick Gregory,spoke at the Mercyhurst CampusAthletic Center.Speaking before a crowd thatwas estimated at 400, Gregory

unleashed a bitter attack on cor-ruption in Am erica.- Citinggovernment propaganda, nuclear

power, and the mass media,among other things, Gregoryquite effectively told an audiencethat they are being manipulatedand brainwashed by an uncaringgovernment.On Deomocracy an America:1 'You're stupid enough to believethat you live in a democraticsociety. John F. Kennedy didn'tdie in Dallas in 1903, but on aCaribbean island in 1971."Gregory also remarked, "TheElectoral College is lust anotherone of those games they're play-

ing on you. "in the election inNovember, people went to sleepthinking Reagan had a narrowlead, when you woke up it was alandslide, j Stop playing yourgames." SOn freedom of privacy: "WhatFreedom of privacy doyou have?Pick up the phone and dial 911(emergency number) and say"house on fire", giving no ad-dress or nothing. See how fast thefiretrucks are at your house."During the three hour affair, healso attacked the Mafia, the KuKlux Klan, and the' so-called

Moral Majority. He calledthe people to turn to theForce" that knows no biasWhen the event was ovewere some toes that were on and many people leffaced. H owever, this muchsaid, through the r laughbrought there was a vermessage and all who weretendance will do some ssoulsearching. Gregory ca

Mercyhurst College plans onadding two new majors to thealready existing forty-one nextyear . These two majors ,Petroleum Geology and Com-puter. Management InformationSystems, would hopefully aid inthe increase of m ale enrollment.The first new major proposedwas the Computer ManagementInfo. System. The course passed

through Academic Policies Com-mittee with unanimous approval.After the purchase of a largecomputer system, the majorseemed to be the natural conse-quence. This new major willhopefully compliment the Col-lege's already existing programsin mathematics and business.Under the new CMIS major, astudent would be required to take45 credits.With the CMIS major the

business department will bestrengenthed. According to theproposal by Dr. Donald Platte,more computer knowledge haslong been needed and desired inthe business department.Platte als o pointed out that theonly major that would be hurtwould be mathematics. He wasconcerned that prospective mathmajors would choose computermanagement info, systeminstead.Campus S urveyed F or AccessibilityTo H and icappe d Students At 'HurstBy Donna Peterson An advocate for handicappedindividuals recently surveyed theMercyhurst campus in order tomake suggestions' for improvingthe college's accessibility to thehandicapped.According to E. William Ken-nedy, director of student affairs,Karen Swendsen, the NorthWestern Regional Coordinator ofDevelopmental Disabilities Ad-vocacy Network, Inc., visited thecollege at the request of a Mer-cyhurst student. Swendsen andthe student, whose name is beingwithheld, me t' with President

Willaim Garvey and Kennedy onMonday, February 23."The meeting was very plea-sant and very positive," saidKennedy. Swendsen maderecommendations to the ad-ministrators concerning ways toimprove the campus for greateraccessibility to the handicapped,he explained. The Merciad wasunable to reach Swendsen forcomment at press time. >Kennedy stated that Mer-cyhurst is in the midst of con-

structing projects to aid the han-dicapped ana "will m ake a goodfaith effort" to comply with hersuggestions.According to the collegenewsle t ter Exchange , bvmid-April Mercyhurst will have"submitted a proposal to the Pen-nsylvania Department of Educa-tion for a portion of the $369,805 infunds now available to Penn-sylvania institutions to improvethe accessibility of: their plantsfor the m obility of impaired han-dicapped." V

This major will draw from anew population of students, con-tinued Platte. Currently4 Edin-boro State College has a 124freshmen enrollment in the ma-jor. Mercyhurst receives over 200inquiries a year about such a ma-jor so there would be no problemwith enrollment. Platte's onlyconcern was over enrollment. Hesuggests a maximum of only 25 to30 new freshmen in the programto avoid this.The employment opportunitiesare tremendous. Mr. TyroneMoore recently contacted thepersonnel department of ErieGeneral Electric. General-Telephone, IBM, and Xerox, Allof them urged the institution of

such a major and stateemployment in local or nagencies for graduates wono problem.The other major, PetrGeology, is currently stillconsideration of the AdPolicies Committee. *The, demand for PetGeologists far expee^Js, theand reports expect the deto continue through the 1plained Mr. David, TGeology Faculty.

That's the average amount students spent on calls frpay phones which were installed at the apartments.The phones are being removed because as director of StuHousing, Phyllis Aiello says "The cost of rental is Jusexpensive." VE. William Kennedy, director of student affairs, says the lothe phone rental has been over $100 per month. Only one perthat cost is paid by those using the phones.In a memo to Briggs residents Kennedy noted it was expethat they would pay for themselves.

Webster's New World Dic-tionary (1979 copyright) defines"rebate" as a return of a part of apayment. That is a verysimplistic, to-the-point statementof what a rebate is. However, intoday's car-buying market, theword m eans more. -i*I presently own one car. It is a1977 Buick Skylark with a 231 V-6engine and an enormous appetitefor gasoline, particularly when Ido alot of city driving (like goingto work every day). I bought thecar in August, 1977, and the totalcost was about $4,100, includingtax and title. This was the firstcar that I had ever bought, and Ifigured that I had got a prettygood deal on it, considering theprices of a few bigger cars that Iwas interested in at the time.It has been 42 months since Ipurchased', that car. If monthsaren't enough of a timereference, it has also been69,173.4 miles, 36 car payments,one muffler and three rebuilt car-buretors since I purchased thatcar. With my last payment inSeptember, that Skylark was allmine. And, oddly enough, I amhappy with the car as I approach70,000 miles; *But times and situationschange. Since I bought that car, Ihave been married, have gonethrough graduate school andhave moved four times. So, withan eye on the car market, I had

decided to look for a new car. Mywife and I made this decisionknowing that we would like tohave a second car so that when Iam out she has something to gether around town. It would also behelpful for her to drive back andforth to her place of employment,so that I wouldn't have to worryabout picking her up from work.yWell. the car-search hadn'tgone very far. I guess the foodshopping and Mall browsinghas not been enough education inpresent-day economics. As Ibegan to look at new cars similarto what I presently own, I felt tw-inges of pain where the walletusually rests. It is my estimationthat the same car I looked at fourmodem years ago now costs$6,500 or so! Doing some quickfiguring, Ifindthat to be a 63 per-cent increase in just four years.Giving the benefit of the doubt, Ibegan to think of all the advan-tages the new cars will have overmy old one. I could only come upwith one advantage that I con-sider to be significant; gas

mileage. The new car would pro-bably be more efficient fuel thanthe old one. /With today's gas prices, that isdefinitlyran advantage, but 63percent worth? I'm sure thatmany of you can come up withfigures and percentages, all validstatistics, to show that inflationhas been that bad, that gas prices

are over double their 1977 leveland so on. But I still can't help butfeel that a $6,500 price tag for achassis and motor, plus two doorsand an automatic transmission isjust too much. /Car sales are slumping, andmaybe the major American carcompanies are beginning torealize that consumers' wageshave not kept up with their priceincreases. This would mean thatcorporate executives may realizethat their product is a bit over-priced (again, I'm certain thatsomeone may have figures toshow that price increases arenecessary to keep up with theirexpenses. I won't buy that state-ment, because statistics can tellyou whatever the statistics-userwants you to know). So, to get ridof growing inventories whilemaking some money, what doyou do? Car companies could ad-mit that prices are too high, butthat would be a confession of guiltfor the past couple of years. Thatwould not be good for the publicimage.The answer? . . . rebates!!!Give the customer back some ofthe money he has spent on yourproduct, to make the buyer feelthat he is getting money back in-stead of paying more. It workswell for the car company, and ismuch more effective than a dropin price because, l) it is tem-porary, making the consumerthink he better hurry up to get thebargain, and 2) it sounds morelike a sale rather than a change ofpricing policy. iPerhaps Webster will one dayadd to the definition of rebate, "aploy used by car companies totow er prices w hile not sayingtheir prices are too high."

I Consider this situation: if youwere alerted about an actual oc-currence of a natural or man-made disaster, or the possibilityof one, what would be your firstreaction? The most probableanswer would be to fina protec-tion of some sort, depending onthe type of emergency.However, it appears to be dif-ficult to actually locate the fallout shelters on the Mercyhurstcampus. "The signs are definite-ly outdated. I would say they areprobably 15 to 20 years old,"stated Mr. E.W. Kennedy, direc-tor of student affairs. "However,all basements in well b uilt struc-tures are considered to be fall outshelters." *Nevertheless, the markings areinappropriate, such as the signoutside of Baldwin H all's A-wingdoor. This sign insinuates (hat aperson could get to Baldwin'sshelter through this door. Thathappens/to be impossible, sincethe door; is unenterable from theoutside.Another sign is hanging in anEgan stairwell, directing thelocation of a fallout shelters as

photosby Rich Forsgrenbeing up on the building's secondfloor. j | *The emergency provision con-tent of rooms officialllydesignated "fallout shelters" inZurn, Balwin. and Old Main arealso outdated. The' basement ofMcAuley Hall contains noprovisions. *% iBaldwin's room, located at thebottom of C-wing steps, containedprimarily sanitation kits. Alsofound were two-seventeen poundcans of crackers dated October1964, and several empty drums tostore water in.Because these supplies werestored behind several pieces of

old equipment, it was rather dif-ficult for Baldwin's maintenanceforeman to check the nature ofthe items to the rear of the room.In Zurn, the room to the right ofthe bookstore (directly situatedacross from the blue lockers inZurn's basement) is designatedas a shelter. In the very corner ofthe room are a number of boxeslabeled "medical kits." Thesecartons, randomly dated 1963,1965, and 1968 had obviously beenopened and then retaped shut.According to a numbers ofsources, the drug paraphernaliawas taken from these boxes onseveral occasions by unknownpersons in what was presumed tobe theft. This was denied by Ken-nedy. "Around 1986-1969 the CivilDefense people, with our ad-ministration's cooperation, pull-ed out all drug related items, hesaid, f 2 iIn the sub-basement of OldMain, the fallout shelter is posi-tioned underneath the cafeteria.However, this series of rooms isused for equipment storage. ."Inthe event of an emergency, foodDucz also stated that CivilDefense in Erie is practicallynonexistent in practices. "To myknowledge, no one comes tocheck any of our protectivefacilities or provisions," he con-cluded. Kennedy commented, "Ifeel that the Red Cross has effec-tively filled the Civil Defense'sgap. ;"To be honest, the thinking onth is subjec t ha s changeddramatically," he added. "Theidea of fallout shelters has reallybeen inoperative in our countryfor about 5 or 10 years. ~$ j,"During the height of the ColdWar, thepossibility ofan AtomicAlert was accepted," Kennedyexplained. "Politics and federalmoney at that time encouragedthe building of shelters."It is interesting to note thatMercyhurst is officially labeled ACrisis Center, for county use dur-ing emergencies and crisises."All sites are chosen fortHurst receives Sears Grant

Daly explained, "AIMstands for Achievement IsMercyhurst."The Annual Business and In-dustry Drive will benefit from thedonation, she added. 1*In Pennsylvania, grants total-ing more than $122,100 will bedistributed to 85 privately sup-ported colleges and universities.In the Erie area, Alliance Col-
