The fire was discovered at approximately 4:27 p.m. by the third flo or R.A., PatPatterson, after the fire alarms were activated by smoke detectors.The nature of the fire is not known,although it was probably an unextinguishedpiece of ash or a match accidentlydeposited in the north wing garbage chute,according to Phyllis Aiello, director of Housing and Safety. J gAiello stated there was no damage, infinancial terms, to report, as only smokeentered the building. When firemen arrivedat the scene, they ventilated the building ofal l smoke. ^ 5$Residents evacuated the building in approximately tw o minutes and remained outside for about 20-30 minutes while thebuilding was being vent i lated.No Injuries were sustained by residents.One resident , Eric Chase, did however cuthis f inger while using the fire ext inguisher.The Erie fire department was called toMcAuley Hall again on Sat. Oct. 12 at approximately 4:15 sum. Again the fire waslocated In the north wing garbage chute.H owev e r , ^residents evacuated theresidence hall somewhat more slowly dueto the early morning hour.

McAuley Hall sustained smoke and water damage as a result of two recent fiwas f looded.

'The water to the north wing bathroomswas shut off because the trash chutes havesprinklers that are activated by heat Theheat from this fire fused the heads open;therefore water had to be shut off to preventfurther f looding ," Aiel lo said. *Because of the problems sleepingresidents had in hearing the alarm bells,R.A.'s|wfll now be activating the pull stat ions which will sound much louder bel ls.Aiello was pleased with.,the quicknesswith whloh students evacuated the buildingduring the f ires.

Remo,played wi th a totempolestalwartness by Fred ("TheRight Stuff") Ward, then getsintroduced to Smith (WilfordBrimley), the head of CURE.Smith explains to Remo thathis job wil l be to "hunt downthe slime that subvert the principles of our Constitution.';*Up to this point, "Remo"sounds like another "mightmakes right" flick where thehero goes on a mindlessv ig i l an te shoot ing spree.Those fami l iar wi th "TheDestroyer" novels, 'however,know that's not the casebecause we soon meet Chlun,the Master of the House ofSinanju, Remo's teacher whowill make his life a living hell.

Sinanju is the village inKorea where all of the martialarts originated and Chiun hasa mastery of them far beyondyour next-door ninja. Despitehis advanced age and his-frailappearance, Chiun can dodgebullets and run on water. Healso enjoys soap operas whichhe considers the only culturalcontribution our nation hasmade to the world. Chiun isplayecU by *actor Joel jQ^&ybehind about 100 pounds o rmakeup. Despite that handicap, Gray marvelously brings the character to life.This teaming of the craggy-faced Ward and Joel makesthis picture better than justthe run of the mill adventuref i lm. Chiun acts like a Jewishmother to Remo and constantly kvetches him to do his exercises. The adventure Remomust undertake with his newskills, stopping a governmentc o n t r a c t o r w h o ' s b e e nmanufacturing faulty militaryequipment for his own personal gain, however, is rathermuddled and uninspired.Had the film-makers split"Remo" into two halves, thefirst being the training andthen the mission, the moviewou ld have been a dog.

The scene,wonderfully directed by GuyHamilton, was actually filmedon the scaffolding surrounding the landmark and theaerial shots of the stuntmandangling from its beams areenough to drive anyone withacrophobia out of their minds,or, at least, the theatre. WThere's a good reason whythat scene and some of theother things Tin "Remo" looklike stunts from a James Bondf i lm. Christopher Wood, in addit ion to writ t ing this f i lm,wrote two Bond adventures,"The Spy Who Loved Me" and"Moonraker " . H a m i l t o ndirected the classic Bond film"Goldflnger". But where Bondworks tongue in cheek, "RemoWilliams" is totally tonguethrough cheek and that 'swhere the film works the best.Remo doesn't act like a hero;he gets constantly beaten upand shot at, even by Chiunwho's on h is side. He doesn'teven get the girl In the end.That's something the [ suave007 wouldn't stand for.Whi le "Remo Wi l l i ams"^ " I L y o , , down flfc the nextClassic action-adventure f i l m *i t has r a quirky spirit thatshould* please the averagemovie-goer and will definitelymake any "De stroyer" fan happy. It's a movie that Justrefuses to take itself tooseriously.

Colleges are relinquishingtheir task of teaching civicresponsibility, according tothe College Press Service.This in turn fuels students'self-interest. Various collegeofficials nationwide are awareof surveys indicating thats t u d e n t s . t o d a y a r edisinterested In their surroundings and focus almost exclusively on their ability to geta job after graduation.

Spring Family Weekend?Just alsuggestion... Fear not unfoundedand Parents Weekendith the Imminent success of the year's Parents Weekend,It s time to look forward to the spring fe stivities. On a rather unfortunate note, last year's Father-Daughter Weekend had to becancelled due to lack of tnterest. It was sad indeed, especiallyfor those students who worked hard In planning the weekendand for the fathers and daughters who looked forward to theevent. fBut the more Important lesson to be learned was the actualexistence of the event. Though a well intended event, Its originsare rather outdated. It has been more than 15 years since Mer-cyhurst College has been a co-educational institution.The mere title of the event alllenates 50 percent of the collegepopulation. Many male students have resented the event in thepast because It did not include them.The weekend also does not take into consideration that somefemales are not from traditonal nuclear families and that theremay be no "father", per se.Father-Daughter Weekend also Isolates another very important group-that being MOTHERS. In past years, mothers have attended the scheduled events but have felt like a "third wheel"because they were not formally included.So how about a change? How about ^trying somethingdifferent?For this spring's e vent, The Merciad is supporting w hat we aretentatively calling a SPRING FAMILY WEEKEND. The value ofthis Is many-fold. The word "fa mil y" can be extended to Includebrothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins and even good friends.This open-ended definition allows for participation > fromeverybody on campu s, especially commuters.-*The activities of the weekend could be less formal than theevents of Parents Weekend in the fall. Activities could becentered around "family-oriented" events like softball games, apicnic In the Gro tto, etc. and would provide for a relaxing day forall. We are also encouraging that the day's calendar start In theearly afternoon and end In the early evening to allow peoplefrom nearby cities the option of driving home that day. A ^AlA springtime event would also serve a functional purpose bytcouraging some students to send some of those unusedItems and heavy winter gear home instead of waiting until lateMay. j j : JWe need response. We have some support for this new ideabut we need to know what others think, namely the parents whoare here this weekend and are likely to return for some kind ofspring a ctivity. We also hope that cam pus response is favorable.Perhaps a campus organization or many organizations wouldconsider sponsoring the event, or working through the StudentServices office like the Father-Daughter Weekend was handled.We'd like to hear from you I

By David A. Armstrong, MSGPresident |I wanted to devote this column exclusively to ParentsWeekend but last week's Merciad does not permit me to dothis. The front page story oflast week contained certainquotes from Dr. 'Lutton andmyself pertaining to MSG's in volvement with the Senate.The editor of The Me rciad ask-ed me to respond to Dr. Lut-ton's statement that involvedM S G ' s p a r t i n p i c k i n gstudents for the Senate. Hepointed out that if low attendance and open positions continued hea would see me todiscuss the p ossibility of MSGrelinquishing Its responsibilityto the Senate. Upon seeing thequote by Dr. Lutton, I declinedto comment for the solereason that It would onlycause controversy. Although Iment ioned ^ this In * th epresence of the ed itor and theassistant editor I was proddedto respond to the statement. Infear that MSG would look badwith a typical "they refused torespond" statement, I gave aresponse. My response wentsomething like this, "BecauseDr. Lutton has not approachedme, and probably will not,thereiis no need for MSG totake any action. The positionswill be filled (they are filled asof this time.) and the studentLetter to the editor

Senators have been notifiedthat absences will not betolerated unless hereJs a pro-

fper excuse. But, in the event,that Dr. Lutton would approach me on such an issue Iwould be against it. The mainreason why, is that, in thefuture, the Senate Presidentcould abuse the privilege ofhand picking the students forSenate. This quote was takenout of context to give the appearance of controversy between Dr. Lutton and myself.-To explain my stateme nt, asI did with the editor, I wil lrepeat that the possibility of aSenate President abusingthose student choices wouldprobably never take place. Mystand was that it "could" happen and the quote in the paperfollowed that thinking. Alsothe situation had not takenplace so there was no p roblemto be concerned with.It is sad that my fears of being misquoted or taken out ofcontext in order to stir controversy were not unfound ed. Iwill now have to warn myfe l low Execut i ve Boardsmembers^ and MSG reps ongiving future statements tothe school paper. Before Igave the quote I knew whatwould happen so it is just asmuch my fault as ^anyoneelse's. I am sure this will notend here, but we must go on. It is Parents Weekend and a
