To Crawford, the change actu-

go into a job after graduation and
turn in five timesheets once every
two months. We are trying to take

otherjob, tell us. There are people
waiting who could utilize that

is that jobs will not be held for
students who do not complete the
financial aid process before May

"It is not a difficult process to
complete. There is no reason to
tie up a job slot" However, she
did say they always give students

Who
Dear Editor,
At the Mercyhurst Ice Center
(MIC), certain groups outside of
the Mercyhurst community are
given preferential treatment over
students. This has been occurring
morefrequentlythan in the previ-
ous two years since the opening
of the rink. * mat the primary objective of the

intent proposed by Dr. Garvey

of the Merciad of the 1991-92
school year, he was quoted as

limited rental to the outside. We
prefer this building to be used
essentially by Mercyhurst"
From our experience, this is not
the case.

Quate of the Week
Dear Editor,
As a Mercyhurst student and
Laker Inn manager, I have been
insulted over the past year. The
insults came in the form of ar-
ticles and cartoons about the Laker
Inn - or as the articles called it
"the Cove."! j|
First and foremost, I have been
upset because I think there are
more important topics in theworld
than the serving of free potato
chips at the Laker Innv When I
questioned a staff writer about
the last "Bingo board" quote of
the week, I was told it was not
negative. Well, I took it the wrong
way men - as well as most of the
Laker Inn workers. I feel an im-
provement fin efficiency should
be praised outright instead of
through a joke that could be taken
either way.
Secondly, I am amazed that the

we are worried that it will re-

It should be the understanding
MIC is a facil ity for the students'
use and any community accessi-

i Another example, during the
first term a student skating party
was scheduled at the MIC. It was
advertised to befrom7 p.m. to ?.
It turned out to be only an hour

The important point to all of
this is that the students are the

erential treatment Hie operators
of the ice center should realize
this. The students need to be rec-

Paris will hurt you if you are
sorry for yourself and it will kill
you if you are lonely. It will do
it slowly. It will take its time
with you.
It's taken me a couple of days
in Paris to come to this, but I
realize it now as I lean against
the side of the bridge, the Pont
de Neuf, and run my hand across the smooth gray stone. Below me,
the Seine River flows quietly through the city, rolls into my eyes and
crashes against the back of my head.
You have heard of, maybe even visited, Paris. Romantic. Beauti-
ful. But it is none of those things, for it's your own emotion that
creates all that when Paris takes you and strings you among the trees
that line the city streets. It is wonderful. It is sad. It is amazing.
I watch the sun run its course down the Champs Elysees and begin
to set into red just behind the Eiffel tower. The last few pockets of
light fall softly off the green and black roofs, down the gray stone
and onto the street It isn't a long fall. The sky is so close to the
ground in Paris.
When you are there and you are in love, there is no other place in
the world that understands your love like Paris. But it is not a place
to be if you are alone and wishing to be with someone because Paris
must be shared and, at the time, I have no one to share it with.
So I sigh a few times, louder each time, and try to comfort myself
with the sound of my own voice. I pull at the hem of my t-shirt I
rummage in my backpack, the bag I have lived out for three months,
while beautiful Parisians, dressed as only beautiful Parisians going
somewhere important can dress, rush by me. I pull a half of a
baguette out of the bag and spread jam slowly with a plastic knife.
I lean again against the bridge's railing. A full day of walking
through the city has made me tired. The stone beneath my hands
cools as the sun's heat abandons it Boats pass under me with groups
of tourists who eat expensive dinners and pointfromtheir tables at
the sights along theriver.Hemingway called die city a moveable
feast I don't think he was talking about dinner boats.
I take a bite of dinner. There is another bridge just a little way down
theriverand a man sitting beneath it watches me eat He is dressed
in torn and dirty clothes. I catch his eye once and look away to a
couple kissing on a bench at the end of the bridge. I can hear their
giggling and their French words. Arm in arm, chest to chest, and eye
to eye, there are couples in love everywhere. This is the way it is in
Paris.
But I am tired of seeing couples that I am not half of I decide that
I want to be in love right now, right here. Love in Paris. That would
be cool. I fall in love with every woman that passes. It is very easy
to do in this city. No one falls in notice with me.
I'm startled by a tap on the shoulder. It's the man in the dirty
clothes, and, as I can see now, a dirty face. He is alone, but he has
brought his home, a blanket, with him. He holds out his hands, looks
at my bread, and speaks in French. I respond: "I don't speak
French.*' I
He smiles at my accent but speaks no English. His eyes are kind,
but empty, and I know they have been that way a long time. I break
him a piece of bread and lay it on the railing next to me. He gentl y
reaches for it and smiles. He has very few teeth.
The man leans next to me and we both look at the couples that pass
us. I continue to fall in love with the women that pass, while die man
chews his bread and chews some more. He says things in French and
points to the people that pass. I laugh when he laughs and he knows
I don't understand him. He is more amused by my reaction to the
people that pass. For a few moments, we share my Pa ris. A Paris that
I love, that I would 1 ove to be in love in and a Paris that everyone else
that comes to alone has met When the manfinishesthe bread and
leaves with a "merer, I do not follow him to share his.
The next morning, I return to America while the man sleeps under
the bridge, r

The statues above are the three most prominent statues on this campus. What do you know about them?
The statue on the far left is of Our Lady of Mercy. It stands on the North side of campus between the front
gates and Old Main. The picture above was taken while the fountain was still intact around it. According
to the Mercy hurst College Archives, the statue was erected in October 1956 and cost $2,000. It was carved
•
from a solid block of monumental white Carrara marble and was "specially <
exposure...so as to avoid deep crevices where snow or rain might gather." ' "S • •
The statue in the middle is Our Lady of Lourdes. It stands on the West side of campus in the Grotto. It
was made in Italy and blessed on November 7,1993. It stands Gve feet tall and fits perfectly in the niche where
the original statue was supposed to go. The original Lady of Lourdes statue arrived in 1932 from France too
large tofitin the niche so was placed on the altar. •'$
* The original Lady of Lourdes Statue was knocked over on Halloween 1992 and the remaining pieces are
now buried beneath the ground of the Grotto. *
The statue on the far right(perhaps erected in the 1940s) was given in the name of Sister DeSales Preston,
a former president of the college. It sits on the South side of Old Main actually fatingthe building.
I According to Michael Fuhrman, assistant director of enrollment services and advisor to the Ambassadors

Club, "all the statues are facing the middle. The Virgin Mary, with whom the Sisters of Mercy are identified,

As I grew up my family and I
had a Sunday ritual that was
rarely * broken.^ Every Sunday
morning 'the four little ones"
would jump into bed with my
Mom and Dad to wake them up.
(I have 12 brothers and sisters,
thefouryoungest, of which I am
included, are always called "the
four little ones.")
After playing for a while, my
parents would get up and start to
make French toast and bacon for
the family. After eating breakfast
and cleaning up we would get in
line for the shower so we. could
get ready for the 11:30 a.m. Mass
at our parish. After Mass the
NITE ILUIB whole family would come home,
share The Boston Sunday Globe,
and eat dinner. The rest ofthe day
consisted of watching television
and doing homework. This was

He was walking down the street
slowly, looking very bored, as if
he had no where to go.
I couldn't believe he was by
himself. It absolutely broke my
heart
Then as we made our way to
Presque Isle I became even more
istounded.
At one of the local hotels there
were three children playing at a
spiral slide; the oldest probably
not even seven years old. I thought
to myself, "These children are
playing no more than 20 feet from
a busy highway with no adults to
watch over them. Now where the

As we turned the comer I no-
ticed one of the little girls hang-
ingfromthe top of the slide. She
was holding on with her finger
tips while the rest of her body
dangled down and tested her
strength-to keep herselffromfall-
ing 10 feet to the ground.
It is hard for me to understand
how children could be left alone
the way these children were.
I think every family should

should have the opportunity to
spend such quality time with par-

There is no doubt that the qual-
ity of life offered to children to-
day is decreasing. I just wonder
what can be done about it It used
to be expected that parents would
give this "quality of life" to their
children but this \isn't the case
anymore. Like I said, it breaks
my heart, and I hope after I gradu-
ate mis coming May I'll be able to
do something to keep children
like these from being alone.

The Mercyhurst College base-

pounded the host Edinboro Fight-

doubleheader,! 13-3, J to extend
their winning streak to an unbe-

The Laker hitters continued to
swing aggressively as they ham-
mered out 15 hits. Freshman Pat
Cutshall led the Hursts with a
home run and a j3 RBI perfor-
mance. The .425 hitter com-
mented on the key to the squad's
twenty-straight victories.
"The team is hitting well now,"
said Cutshall. "We are more pa-
tient (at the plate) and we 're look-
ing for pitches."
Cutshall was not the only Laker
who roped Edinboro pitcher Chris
Myers. Outfielder Jason Runtas,
Kevin Sweeney and Mike
McKnight each went 2-for-4 for
the blue and green.

up his third victory of the season,
