b y i A l B e l o v a r a cR U S certainly had its sh are of ups and downs this year, and if thetwo were in a race, the downs would surely hold a commandinglead.

. A! budding political scientist researching the difficulties andfrustrations of student/governments would have a field day withR U S , which in the past six months has gone through a collage ofmoods, being active, inactive, reactive and deactive. ipThe latest crisis to make its hooded prescence known concernsbudget appropriations which thus far have been doled out with agenerous though sometimes indiscriminate hand.Suddenly last meeting, however, a shocking realization struck themem bers like a bolt of lightning. Only $4,500 remain in the cofferand this amid cries of assistance comingffrom all areas of the

campus w hich served only to make matters worse.The swiftly diminishing treasury was assaulted by requests offunds for entertainm ent, ponds, art shows busses, C E C conventions,and pre-school equipment, all totalling close to $4,300.fW e hope R U S will wake up and realize its tre asury is not a pot ofgold readily available for anyone w h o needs some extra cash.

| Students pay a $2 5 activities fee which should b e used for and onlyfor student activities. As it stands, their government deprives thestudents of the full benefits of their own money. As an exam ple, a$550 request to contract "We the People" for a show in the Unionwas slashed in half, the rest to come from the student union'sregular fund, thus cheating the students o u t of some other activity.: * * * | \ ' H*We think it ridiculous and absurd for RUS to be approached formoney for the pond, senior art exhib it, and th e pre-school.* * * JThe idea of a pond on the back campus is fantastic, but is it theresponsibility of RUS to furnish funds for an improvement that

should be funded by the administration? If such a precedent wereset, we can see the day when RUS is asked to pay for parking lots,outdoor lighting, and whatever other campus improvement mightarise.The senior art exhibit is required by the art department, but whyshould RUS flip the bill? Is the purpose of RUS to fund academicdepartments? I

I f # * *While the pre-school is indeed a noble and praiseworthy undertaking, there is little reason why RUS must supply the schoolwith equipment when it's the responsibility of the college and thedepartment sponsoring it to fulfill its financial needs. If they can'tdo it, then it shouldn't b e done. %I * * * | j !The impression that|RUS is serving the function of a rich unclewilling to give hand outs to eager individuals and groups must bedispelled. Presently,jher treasury is being financially raped forcauses that have only the remotest relation to what RUS is supposed to be about. R U S should not be an alternative source of fundsfor academic departments and numerous groups who can'tffindmoney elsewhere. $ V * *The thousands of dollars under RUS's control must not besquandered with reckless abandon. R U S must learn to say "No !" tomoney requests which should be directed to another source. Moneyput into the treasury by the students should be spent only on thestudents and for the students. Other worthy causes must take aback seat, n o matter h o w important they may b e . It's a tragedy thatactivities musst be curtailed because the money is being used tosupport causes which should by all rights be taken care of by theadministration or academic departme nts.

P.O.W.'s: Are TheyReally America's Heroes

fet Nixon claims that thetUnitedStates has won peace with honor.The POW's are the factors bywhich Nixon claims the U.S. haswon an honorable peace. In otherwords, an honorable peace couldnot have been achieved until theP.O.W.'s were released. Thiskind of Nixonian logic shootsdown the reason why we wentthere in the first place. Whichwas as everybody knows, to stopcommunism. Of course it is easyto forget. Even though we did notstop communist domination, westill achieved a peace with honor.The P.O.W.'s are returning to theU . S . after long periods of incarceration by the North Vietnamese and or the N.L.F. TheP.O.W.'s are being warmlyreceived by the United States andPresident Nixon as heroes. Theyare suppossed to represent theU.S. commitment of democracyto a democratic South Vietnam.Consequently, they should belooked upon as heroes or savior ofdemocracy.But let us look at this issue alittle closer. Why were these mentaken prisoners in the first place?The reason i s that they were shotdown or captured by ! groundtroops in Vietnam. But why?Didn't ? the Northf. Vietnameseknow that the U . S . was the center

b y T. D a n i e l H e b e r l eof democracy and that everycountry should be democratic,whether they like it or not. TheNorth Vietnamese just couldn'tunderstandfthis. All they understood was that the U.S. wasbombing their cities, villages,hospitals, orphanages, andharbors. Thousands oi civilianswere being killed b y these saviorsof democracy.

lYet we are honoring | thesepeople as heroes Jrepresentativeof American society. Thesepeople are being exonerated,while conscientous objectors anddraft resisters'are being jailed orhunted down. These draftresisters are being condemned asbeing un-American. The^ peoplewho felt it was wrong to killpeople *with jwhom they aper-sonally had n o disagreement withare being repressed. The peoplewho were mass produced as warmachines are considered asheroes. The fact of the matter isthat ^American society! ha sdegenerated to barbarism in thatto kill is to prove your patriotism.Look neat and trim, have asnappy salute, a short haircut andyou're an American. Butremember never try to thinkaboutl what you are doing.Because thinking is the initial

stage of rebellion and even moralrebellion can be dangerous. Incontrast to this, ii you had doubtbabout your coun try, 71 youquestioned its motives, andlinally decided th at killing womenand children to make the worldsafel i or democracy is morallywrong, you are un-American andyou are shirking your patrioticduties. You just don't understandwhat America stands ior. Don'tyou know that it is right andcommendable to get in a B-52 lorthe sole purpose of strafing andbombing civilian areas andpossibly military installations.

I feel that the U.S. shouldwelcome the P.O.W.'s back homebecause the U.S. is their home.But as many people feel, itfis notbringing the different tactions inAmerican society | closertogether. Conservatism is on theupsurge in [this country, andexonerating people for massbombing will only accelerate thetrend. Unfortunately, the peoplesheroes are not the Berriganbrothers, jDaniel Ellsberg, orWilliam Kunstler. Their heroesare a Captain John Brown, or aMajor Bill Smith who | werecaptured while saving the worldfrom communism. But nobodytold the children.!ACTIVITY SCHEDULE

MARCH 9, 1973PlauOnce upon a time, when Mer-cyhurst was a small, fall-girl,totally Catholic colleg e, I doubt ifthe word "dope" was evermentioned in the school'shallowed halls, but Mercyhursthas finally reached puberty andin the process has also lost hervirginity. h

i It 's no secret that drugs areused on, near, by, to *the left,right, east, w est, south, and northof Mercyhurst campus so let ustalk about it . VExactly what rights does aresident student possessing drugsin his room have? Rem ember theroom contract you signed? Yourrights as afstudent ar e {listed ineach and as far as drugpossession and privacy go- youhave n o rights. pfcjjArticle 2 of the^room contractreads as follows: ;'

Youby Cathy Stevenson

MERCYHURSTiCOLLEGE PAGE 3f Busted

f 2) The college reserves theright to enter any student's roomfor any serious reason. (I wouldsay that the school would feel theillegal possession of narcotics isserious.) ?A JArticle 6 reads as 1 ollows:6) The student agree s to fill ina room inventory report formwhen he arrives on campus. Theroom will be checked on amonthly basis and any damagepaid for ^immediately. Roommates are equally responsible fora room. (Once a month, whetheryou are present or not, your roomcan b e searched.)Rooms may also be entered forthe reason of probable cause atany time. (If you are suspected oldrug possession it is probablethat your room may have uninvited visitors.)Resident Assistants may enter

rooms to answer noise complaintsor for a variety of other reasons.Whatever is seen b y an R.A. maygive the school probable cause, soif you get busted, for God's sakedon't b e noisy about it.Drugs are still i 1 legal and causeunfavorable publicity lor theschool. What may seem backdated to the student is reallyprotection for J the school, butstudents also have the right toprotect themselves. Know yourfriends as well as your enemiesand avoid the has sle of your life. &Once upon a time drinking oncam pus ! was considered tabooand not very nice on Mercyhurstcampus. Eventually drugs mayreplace 3 drinking as | th e % all-American sport. \ \ gKnow your friends as well asyour enemies. The bust you attend may b e your own.
