I 4VWviV; Committee toInvestigate Assassinations,addressed the audience to theconviction of an -.allegedassassin, Lee Harvey Oswald,whom he felt "has been convictedfor all history on grounds whichwould be unacceptable if he werealive.'*' fe. T^ Presenting an extensive arrayof evidence to the audience, heattempted to show discrepanciesbetween the public and con-fidential versions of the WarrenCommission's report on theassassination. 'These materials,which in the past were.notavailable to the public at large,were obtained by Walston, whosued the Federal Governmentunder the Freedom of Infor-mation Act.

Questioning the feasibility ofthe assassin' s bullet coming fromthe Texas book depository,Walston pointed out thetestimonies of eight eyewitnesseswho claimed that they saw a"puff of smoke" come from thegrassy knoll in front of the latepresident's limousine. Thistestimony contrasted directlywith the findings of the WarrenCommission verdict which statedthat the fatal shot came frombehind the nation's 35thpresident.? ,.Pointing out further short-comings in the assassinationinvestigation, Walston turned tothe autopsy performed followingthe shooting. Crucial mistakes,(pWalston cited, were made in. failing to dissect the fatal woundand failing to determine the exactpath left by the fatal bullet. JLPresenting numerous otherpieces of alleged evidence,Walstonconcluded his four-and-ahalf hour presentation with thesame claim which he had made inthe beginning; Lee HarveyOswald should have^fbeenacquitted.

editorial

On Wednesday, October 30,1979, the live-in students at thecollege were treated to a plentifulrepast as Saga Food Servicesheld its annual Halloween dinnertn the cafeteria. Everything fromrigatoni to seafood was offered toover 300 students who took ad-vantage of the opportunity to filltheir stom achs with food.JL Not all food, If however, filledstomach's.Some food littered the campusas "Mischief Night" made itsyearly visit to the college.Cafeteria fare and eggs werestrewn all over the campus asstudents worked off some steam .In comparison, on October 30,1979. 7,000 Cambodians died ofstarvation. ;Under the guerilla regime of

General Pol Pot, Cambodia hasincome a living graveyard forver ; three-quarters of a 4.7million person population. Withver 200,000 Cambodians dyingeach month from starvation,mankind finds itself faced with a"Holocaust" worse than thatwhich the Jews faced under theHitler regime. What mankind is presentlyfaced with is the eventual ex-tinction of a nation. This slow,purposeful annihilation of apeople too weak to cry is the mostmerciless act our generation hasever been witness to. And yet,what have we, students of aChristian college, done topreserve the lives of people sodistant, and yet so close, to us?We throw food. We take

something so vital, and yet soplentiful, to us and throw it atbuildings and each other

laughing merrily along the way.The college prides itself ? indealing with things relative tostudents and their futures. Manymay claim,"How is the life of aCambodian relevant to studentsexisting in another hemisphere?"as a valid reason for not beinginvolved nor concerned about theCambodian tragedy.'* As long as Mercyhurst Collegeexists as an institution founded onChristian principles, it is the dutyof those associated with the in-stitution to act within theframework of those principles.The awareness of the college doesnot exist solely within the con-fines of the gates. \ "On Sunday, The Merciad soldpumpkins in an effort to giv e aidto the Cambodian people. Thesale was successful; all pum-pkins were sold. The otalamountraised was minimal, but then thesmallest of contributions hasmeaning. We thank all of thosewho helped us in our effort.In an effort to continue aChristian \ consistency, TheMerciad has been given time inthe student government's agendatogproffer what we hope is anacceptable proposal to the of-ficers and representatives. Withthe proposal, hopefully, the entirestudent body, or even a portion ofit, will be given the opportunity tohelp in a cause demanding theutmost importance.The original intention for at-tending college, -one sourcereported to The Merciad, was toacquire the knowledge in hope ofserving others. At a time whenothers seek our help, therenaissance of such a motivewould be truly noble.

Many people spend a great dealof time talking about the future ofMercyhurst. Atot of vague idealsare kicked around in the processand inevitably one touches onleadership (or the lack of it , thefeeling-that Mercyhurst! reallydoes not have a direction or goal.We just seem to be kind ofwaiting for a strong breeze topush us into the 0's.Instead of spending timedealing with intangibles likeleadership and strong breezes,let's look at the dollars and centsangle of Mercyhurst. After all,that angle is the life-blood line ofthis institution. Where it'scoming in, where it's going outand what happens to it in betweenis what makes this place run.What IS going on around hereanyway? HDuring the fiscal year 1978-79,Mercyhurst college suffered oneof the worst budget deficits in itshistory. To explain that ineconomic terms that even I canunderstand, it means that w e arein the red. A very deep red.When a school the size ofMercyhurst is faced with thistype of situation, cuts must bemade someplace. Sadly enough,the axe must fall somewhere. Thequestion at the 'Hurst is: Havethese cuts been made with a dullmind as well as with a dull blade?As I have been told repeatedly,that is not for me to dedide. I'mjust supposed to present the factsand let the reader make .up lus-her mind. So, here we go, folks.The first area to be cut was thecolleg e's internal J ex-penses (supplies, contractedservices, internal costs). Thisattempt at "tightening the belt",makes sense, but there is only somuch to cut before services startto really suffer. 'The economic chain of.com-mand(The Board of Trustees andThe Boards financial con-sultants) then went after the areathat comprises fifty percent ofMercyhurst's budget: salariesand fringe benefits.The budget cuts in this areahave directly coincided with whathas .been,B called ' a "Faculty

Exodus" at the 'Hurst. Granted,you can't please all of the peoplea II of the tune, but when the list ofexiting faculty has names on itlike Dr. Jeff Sternlieb, VincentWard, and Dennis Andres, onehas to think. These were qualityfaculty members. If the exitingfaculty were of less that com-petent, it would be a problem oflittle concern. But they weren'tand it isn t.Does anyone have to re-statethe pivotal importance of havingvibrant, quality faculty mem bersat an institution the size ofMercyhurst? We should want todraw the bestand keep them herelike one would covet a gem orprecious metal.Why haven't budget cu ts beenmade in alternative areas so thatthe quality of the Mercyhurstexperience dosen't suffer sobadly. fe * Mercyhurst's administrativechain of command .has fourseparate vice-presidential of-fices. They are 1)Director ofStudent ^Services, E. WilliamKenned, Director, 2 )| Vice-president ,- of | Development,Robert F. Prather,Director,3) Vice-President of BusinessServices, George Kidd, Jr.,Director and 4) Vice-President ofAcademic Services! Dean) Dr.John Millar, Director. Each Vice-Presidential office has a myriadof sub-officesy; and sub-administrators and maybe evensome g sub-secretaries (seegraphic) aThe logical question 1 thatfollows all this is how can acollege that has a full timeenrollment of -1075 justifymaintaining this kind of ad-ministrative bureaucracy. Howcan a ! college justify cuttingfaculty, academic programs andthe g eneral quality of a Mer-cyhurst education when cuts inthe administration haven't takenplace yet? & JColleges exist to educatepeople, not provide jobs.Reorganization might be theanswer, but then again, I'm not toprovide answers,, just raisequestions. . . . . . . . . . . . , . . . . . . .

Dear Mom and Dad, I %_A Was I ever relieved to get youranswer to my last letter. I w a safraid that when you heard aboutPr . Gu y being made president,you would pull me out of school. Iknow if I were a parent I wouldn'twant my son or daughter at -tending an y institution he ran.It's not that he isn't a nice guy ora holy priest. In fact I know he iskind to puppy dogs and nuns whodon't wear habits, and if that isn't9 holiness what is?My problem with him is that hedoesn't behave like a presidentshould. He thinks sailing i s everybit a s important, if not morex& important than going to mee ting sor doing self studies or evenj taking courses like "Stories ofGod". Worse still, I a m afraid h eis going to water down th ecurriculum bv nutting in courseslike "Juggling an d Being," or"Zen, Jesus an d Handball. H e| also promises to be an absenteepresident, who will cal l; longdistance (collect) to c lo s e ' t h ecollege on any day with morethan s ixty percent sunshine .l o v e that.

Ihope they don't come to blowsover .it. In retaliation whenPresident Patrick threatened toorder th e college choir to sing"Punxsatawney Rag", "Anibaldilooked ready to rip him to shreds.Basically , I think they like eachother so I don't think we'll hav e tom choose a new president due to ahomicide.
