ISftorialff NOVEMBER 20,1981 PAA Malicious LarkThe destruction of the Cherubin the Little Theatre Lobby is theresult of unmitigated violenceand completely unwarranted. *One must question th e hostileattitude which motivated such anaction. One also wonders if thevandal(s) might be indicative ofa large portion of the collegecommunity. Th e difference-ramthat the usual campus rumblings*/;became malevolent behavior, .siWhat is particularly disturbin g^

is that the vandalism affects theentire-community. Mercyhurst isdeprived the luxury of displayingand enjoying a piece of art whichis also part of the heritage of thecollege, i g i $ u* -Jf-Letter

Millstone Can Be CutWith th e rave reviews of theMaster Plan, it seems that mostof the Mercyhurst community iscontent to sit back and watch allthese improvements "happen."Certainly, a number of personshave worked hard to develop theplans, and are enthusiastic aboutimplementing them. Bu t thesepersons dive into the future witha millstone around their necks, amillstone known as studentapathy.We've all heard a lot about stu-dent apathy these past weeks.The phase seems to nave becomean entity in itself, something withhuge jaws and giaring_eyes that_strikes down any feeble attemptsat involvement Perhaps what isneeded fis some not-so-feebleattempts. v$Letter

I For instance, what about theposs ibi l i ty .of erect ing a1 Christmas tree in Garvey P ark,and having each student donatesome kind of ornament? The treecould be donated to a charitableorganization when f vacationbegins. *ff >Or, since we now have a foot-ball team and the Mercyhurst"Laker Shakers," what about afight song to cheer the teams on?Or what about a gong snow, or a"Campus Tug-of-War?These are just a few ideas thathave come up in conversationwith freshmen and members ofother classes. The poindscyhurst's future won't just*"hap-pen." Somehow, we've got to takemat m illstone fromour necks andgo freely into what lies ahead. r

Student Feels Story JUnclear In F acts OfGovernmentjjMeetingDear Editor,The article "Management Ma-jors Get Funds; 'Laker Shakers'RequestTabled" of November 13issue 11 fails to clearly expressfacts in a comprehensible man-*!ner. The focus issues discussed inthe Student Government meetingson Tuesday^ November 10, con-cerned two requests for financialsupport. The two cases jare !ldistinct. *The new Mercyhurst Pom PonSsquad, "The Laker Shakers," for-gsmally requested a sum of $1,300for various item s: 16 skirts, 16sweaters, poms pons, etc. .The basis of the propositionrelied on the idea that a Ipep*Asquad would enhance the schooP**s p i r i t , c o m p l e m e n t t h e "cneerleading squad as well as*}the:< a th l e t i c department/^generate activities (other than 'drill), and integrate student spec -^tatorship and participation.

I'm writing to correct the inac-curate reporting concerning th eApathy Task Force which ap-peared in last week's Merciad.This article, which was writtenby John Broderick, was a grossmisrepresentation of the topicsdiscussed a t the \ November 8meeting. I intend to set the recordstraight. First an d foremost a tno time during th e November 8meeting did I say "The footballteam has yet to be seen by theMercyhurst community at anyeven t." In fact, the football teamor any of its individual footballlayers wa^ dA&USd JWkfcsolved af*theTfirstTFApathymeeting and did not come up atthe Nov ember 8 meeting* J53T'* Also, I believe you have m equoted as saying "We need morewild people here." I did makethat sta tement , but not in the con-text which that artic le suggested.I believe we do need '*wUd" peo-ple here a t this school. Peoplewho a r e enthusiastic, who haveinitiative, accept challenges, andspeak up on issues and problemswhich causes them to havenegative feelings are essential toevery college or university..

The actual meeting of theApathy Task Force was very pro-ductiv e.

Ha NOVEMBER 20,1981 PAGE 3Cults And Sects

Nation Of Islam:Black MuslimsBy George Garrelts

Timothy Drew, born in NorthCarolina, 1886, * migrated toNewark, New Jersey, where, in1913, he founded li e MoorishScience Temple, a religious cultbased I on a combination ofteachings derived from theKoran, Buddhist sutras, and theChristian Bible. This religion isone of the forerunners of the cultthat came to beknown as The Na-tion of Islam or Black Muslims, fiMarcus Garvey was born in1887 in Jamaica. Garvey foundedan organization known as UNIA,the Universal Negro Improve-ment Association, which he pro-moted in this country from 1916until the time of his deportationback to Jamaica in 1927. Thatorganization was dedicated touniting the 400,000,000 blacks ofthe world and of establishing astate for all blacks in Africa.These two religious ideologiesof Drew All and Marcus Garveyare prominent in the myth of Eli-jah Muhammad and in hisdevelopment of the BlaokMuslims. W.D. Muhammad Fardhad been a member.of theMoorish Temple but split withthat group in 1981. Fard claimedto be the reincarnation of DrewAli and the Mahdi or the M essiahof .Islam. He began to teach infthaf^he niacfc vfiBrtwa# sfmember of the lost and forgottentribe | of Shabazz. Fard disap-p e a r e d f r o m t h e s c e n emysteriously in 1934. g aFard wa s succeeded by ElijahMuhammad (Robert Poole,originally of Sanderson, Georgia)w h o ' b e c a m e t h e " N e wmessenger ofIslam". Elijahmoved to Chicago from Detroitwhe r e h e f o u n d e d ' T e m p l eNumber 2 and it is from this van-tage point that he develops th ehighly imaginative myth of TheBlack Muslims. "According to that myth, AllahGod created th e universe 60trillion: years ago. At first th eearth and moon were united asone planet. Then an explosionsplit the moon an d the earth a n d jthe "original man" appeared onearth. "Original Man wa s th eblack man,- from whom* i sdescended the "so-called" Negroof today. Black men made up thetribe of Shabazz, known as "thefirst and the last, the makers andthe owners of the universe." It isfrom this tribe that Moses, Jesus,and Muhammad have descended(they were all black) and it is tothem that God has made hisrevelation.

The basic theme of Fard and ofElijah Muhammad wa s that theblack man had "forgotten" hischosen role in thej divine plan.The black man has a divine mis-sion an d destiny which has beentaken from him by the 'whitedevils'. The*white devils werecreated by a ma d black scientist6,000 years ago. Allah permittedthat to punish th e tribe of Shabazzfor it s sins. Yakub workedfeverishly on the Isle of Patmoswhere he created the brown race,the red race, the yellow race, andfinally the white s race . Thesewhites, people of no-color, werealso people of no virtue*- no love,and no justice. They were th ewhite-devil race. That race ha s

enslaved blacks, beaten them,exploited them, raped theirwomen, lynched them, imprison-ed them unjustly, robbed them inpunishment for their sins.But the day of punishment i snearly over. These white devilshad been given permission to ruleuntil 1914, and now they havebeen given an extension of 70years so that th e black m a nmight hear the word of Allah andhis prophet Elijah Muhammadand come to understand how hecan be restored to his formerglory. The white man is destinedfor destruction an d eliminationsoon. jjL *^ i,f The Black Man can survive thecoming holocaust by joining theNational of Islam which has beenpreached by W.D. Fard and byElijah Muhammad. Allah hasgiven Islam to the Black Man,and Islam means submission. Itis th e only wa y that th e blackman can be saved. The time is athand for the original black peopleto assume their high place in theworld and to throw oft the yoke ofthe white devil and his slaveregion (Christianity). Armaged-don, or the destruction of all thatis not the Nation of Islam, is closeat hand. i Bk. JBE^L ~" "*c-When Malcolm. X^ made the

met many Muslims who were notblack and moved away from theblack separatism of the myth ofElijah Muhammad. When Elijahdied in 1975 his son Wallace D.Muhammad moved in that samedirection. According to CatherineAlbanese "the son of the foundercarried the movement even fur-ther in the direction Malcolm Xhad taken. It was the dawn of anew day, ^a s a self-assuredW a l l a c e D . M u h a m m a d ,educated in Egypt and an Arabicspeaker,i broke with black*separatism and moved the Na-tion closer to orthodox Islam."(America Religions and Religion,p. 131) .3 g $ 1 } *However, the problems ofseparatism and indemnity re-main. How will the white com-munity make up tor the blacksthose injustices suffered inslavery? How can such woundsbe healed? Jam es Forman calledupon the white churches to pay asum of 400 million dollars to theblack community as a token oftheir desire to satisfy for. pastsins against blacks. That has nothappened, an d there is noevidence that it will. The whitecommunity should give somesign to the black community thatit condemns the cruelty and in-justice of slavery. The nest sign.would be the d etermination to br-ing freedom and equality as fullyas possible into the lives of blackAmericans living in our com-munities today. :" 5That is not much but it would gofar to ease that alienation ofblacks from whites which is theresult of injustices practiced bywhites against blacks from thedays of slavery until now. It isthat alienation and our need to dosomething about it which is call-ed so strikingly to our attention inthe myth of Yakub and the tribeof Shabazz, the myth of the Na-tion of Islam.? -*****J

LetterDemocratic SocialistOrganizing CommitteeTo Speak At GovernmentTo The Mercyhurst Community sinJaiDuring the past few weeks, we have witnessed the unveil-ing of the true colors of the Republican administration votedinto power last fall. Aided by an inept incumbency, somerose-colored promises of economic revitalization, slickmarketing techniques and a confused electorate, corporateAmerica assumed office last fall in the personification ofPresident Ronald Reagan.Now that Budget Director David Stockman ha s let thedomestic ca t out of the bag and admitted that Reaganomicsare nothing but traditional Republican trickle down theorieswith a little stage make-up, maybe it is time to look past theobfuscating right wing propaganda and find what this ad-ministration is truly committed to . For, although in thepolicitical world it may take longer to see past the smoke andmirrors, actions still do speak louder than words.What we find the Republicans truly committed to are thefollowing:.1) The indiscriminate elimination of humanistic programswhile simultaneously throwing away ta x dollars on analready bloated Pentagon.2) The opening of our national treasures to the ravages ofcorporate dogs who feel nothing for the beauty of the land we

nave inherited, but only for the extension of their private pro-fit margins. ,3) The support of such racist countries as South Africa andtotalitarian regimes like the El Salvadorian Military Junta.-?)4) Regardless of recent grand standing disarmamentrhetoric, the insanity of a nuclear arms race that can have nowinners. i . Je J n 55) The implementation of domestic economic policies thatpenalize the vast middle class while rewarding the rich.J Ask yourself, did you vote for th is last fall? Or, better, yet,arej oubetter off now than you were a year ago?Jtot . ^mer is no,-*if .you feel an impending sense of na-tional confusion and wishto have the option of a mode ofpolitical expression, I invite you to hear of the alternative tobankrupt policies of the past at the weekly Mercyhurst Stu-dent Government meeting, Tuesday, December 7,3:00 p.m.,^114Zurn. ; -The t alternative is a means by which the much needed democratic reform of American society can occur.

FeatureAnotherApathyCommitteeA recent issue of Merciad an-nounced the formation of anApathy ^Committee. This issuefeatures a review of this newestorganization. Student interest inserving on the Committe peakedjust before opening meeting.Several interested residentstudents asked their roommatesto attend the opening meetingand to take notes to be sharedwith those who planned to sleepat the time of the meeting. Onlyseven students remembered inwhich building the meeting wasscheduled. At the opening rollcall six took deep breaths, signi-fying their presence. The seventhstudent was not breathing at thispoint. The first item on the agen-da wa s selection of a mascot.Several persons spoke in favor ofthe three-toed sloth. But in thefinal ballot, five fingers were wig-gled for the bear It seemed ap-propriate to honor this animalwho has developed the ability tohibernate from Fall to Spring. The

Committee discussed means toraise funds for future projects.The member lying in the far cor-ner proposed a car wash bescheduled for the next rainy day.But the hardship entailed in dailychecks on the weather was judg-ed excessive. The plan adoptedby the Committee will require aten cent feeto park on campus. Anew major will be introduced toimplement this "program. Mer-cyhurst will be the only school inthe Western or E a s t e r nHemisphere with this major - totrain Parking Lot Attendants.PLA majors will collect ten centsfor each parked car.

This week I'd like to addressone of the big changes in thewomen's athletic program. Thischange is Shelly Monas who hastaken over the women's basket-ball and tennis team. In previousseasons Shelly had been the headcoach of the softball program,with a great deal of success Imight add. g* Ifi n | T |I had never heard much abouther except through members ofthe softball team who had nothingbut praise for her, but this yearthrough the media banquet forthe basketball team I was in*,troduced to her, She impressedme as the type of individual whocan straighten out the women'sprograms and make them win-ners again. With basketball, forexample, she has put the girlsthrough a rigid conditioning pro-gram and hopes to improve theirplay. Last year's team was ob-viously out of shape and thereforethey fell inthe later quarter of thegame. This year, however, willbe a different story as the girlsare in shape and can perform totheir fullest/* kI wish we had more: coacheslike Shelly Monas* A few morelike her .and I know we'd be win-ners in everything.VolleyballEnds \ |ConferencePlayTeam Finishes At 4-3g The Lady Lakers ended theirseason last Thursday compiling a iJ&TS < * a*
