A portion of the grounds behind Baldwin (foreground) that will be converted Into newsports fields. f fiBy Matthew J. Clark 1

At its October meeting, the MercyhurstCollege Board of Trustees approved fmvding foi the renovation of the athletic fieldsnorth of Baldwin Hall. The project wouldalso include the construction of a third fieldupon what is now the baseball outfield.

''Hopefully, the renovation will give ussuitable fields, which are a problem rightnow," said Mercyhurst ?President Dr.William P. Oarvey. "They are a disasterand are unsafe," he added.Carson Landscaping/ a "longtimefriend" of (he college and designer of theoriginal baseball field, is doing the work ata cost of $130,000, all of-which is to befinanced by a bond issue.*Work on the project is scheduled to beginon Monday."We hope to create a third field," saidDr. Garvey. "We're going to rebuild andrecrown the current-football and baseballfields, and reconfigure the outfield at thefarthest west corner. We will then sod andseed the fields," explained Dr. Garvey.w "Recrowning the fields will allow themto dry faster and will help eliminate thewetness of the fields," noted Dr. Garvey.

"The majority of the work wplace before winter, but the soddnot take place until next Spi ing, anwill be able to use the fields unAugust," he explained. \ $;. %This means that the baseball andteams will have to find alternate sthis year's home games. Decisionwhere to have the games will be lethe team's respective coaches."With an additional field, we'reto bring the soccer team back to thcampus and have the football teamother two fields," explained Dr. G"We would keep St. Mark's fieldtramurals," he added.Dr. Garvey expressed that this dhad the future of the college in mi'' I hope this renovation project wcare of the field problem for many come," he said.Frank BurnsJWasJ\| JerkBut Larry Linville Isn >

by Robert Up ton French *From time to tim e, almost everyone gets agood laugh from TV. Sometimes it's evenwhen a television character pokes fun ofTV itself. Some of the deepest belly laughscome from encountering, in a TV skit, ahuman being who tends to think of peopleon television as real. M ost of the time, thisindividual is a little old lady in tennis shoeswho is firmly convinced that all of thecharacters in her favorite soap o peras reallyexist and in real life are good or bad , accor-ding to the depiction of the character. ThisIs obviously ridiculous; but, it is not totallysurprising when you consider the incrediblepower of th e medium of television.Television surrounds us. We- sitmesmerized in fron t of it. The p icture danc-ing and flickering before our somewhatglassy eyes. The sound waves rolling overour bod y and fading into oblivion. We needdo nothing more than pay cursory atten-tion, and for many of the more sophomoricshows, even that level of concentration isn'tnecessary. 5But the real point here is the fact that allof us , not jus t those people who have beenmade butts of Jokes, tend, aHeast, on a cer-tain level *to think of TV? charactersrepresenting an accurate personna of theactor portraying them.When Larry Linville, better known asMajor Frank'Burns (ferret-face) of the TVshow "MASH", convulsed a near capacitycrowd at Zurn auditorium, many of thepeople seemed surprised at the typ e of per-son Burns/Linville was. When Larry lin-ville came out on stage he followed a jibehurled by Mike Kelly, President of MSGGovernment and escalated the mild vulgari-ty. It somewhat set the pace for the night.

.Linville is an obviously intelligent, ob-viously witty, normal human being. Hewould appear to be the kind of person with]whom you could sit down and enjoy theconversation and not be intimidated by hiscelebrity, and certainly not be exposed tothe superciliousness of Major Frank Burns.We all KNOW that actors are differentfrom their characters, but perhaps theultimate criterion for an actor is how deeplythey can convince us that they are indeedvery much like the character they play.Burns was such an enduring characterthat we all got to know him. Most of thenation of th e United States have had MajorFrank Burns, and company in their livingroom at least one night a week for most ofthe last IS years. During the period sincethe regular series ended, many places havehad Burns and the MASH troop in their liv-ing room several flights a week. Not toolong ago , in Cleveland, they had a MASHhour where they ran two back-to-backepisodes every night of the week. It is aphenomenon of T V, even tho it was such aphenomenal success, it's still somewhat dis-quieting to be so suddenly made aware ofthe fact the Burns wasn't linville.In^fact.jquite the contrary. For Frankwas an uptight neurotic with deep in-securities and a overpowering feeling thatsince no one liked him so he m ight as welltry and curry favor by being obnoxious,unpleasant and a snitch. Linville Is just theopposite. Burns was supposed to be barelycompetent and not particularly bright. Ifyou listen to linv ille for more than 5 or 10minutes you will find that the man is ex-ceedingly bright and his formal educationalbackground will indicate that, and hisquickness at repartee underscores it.Repartee that was well seasoned jwith

Former MASH star,scatology and profanity, which may have jt-lindicated to many why the term "swear Hkea trouper"}came from acting troops notmilitary troops in the field, Linville wasprofane, he was vulgar, but*he was ap-propriately so. He washumorously so. Hekept the audience interested, active andparticipating. They had a good time, and !despite the fact th at it is obviously work, itseemed that Linville had a good time. Lin-ville started by recounting his early days inthe business, his familial background andhis educational background. All were sur-prising, but none to the incredible extent of |educational background. j

The adolescent Larry Linville was a self- Mdescribed aviation nut; by the age of 42 he 3was a licensed glider pilot. A decade laterhe was majoring in aeronautical engineer-ing at the University of C olorado and eye-ing a transfer to the newly-opened andnearby United States Air Force Academy. |

44 Bandits f Qui te A Boreby Brian Sheridan

From the film's title, and fromits advertisements, SKY BAN-DITS appears to be about twoturn-of-the-century bank robberswho turn from attacking onhorseback to dropping on banksand trains from a newly inventedbiplane. Wrong. After seeing themovie and discovering it has to dowith World War I and very littleabout^ Western bank robbers, Ifeel that this should have been titl-ed BOX OFFICE BANDITS.SKY BANDIT'S two maincharacters resemble every clichethat has ever been used in a "bud-dy" film but really steals from theclassic "buddy" film, BUTCHCASSIDY AND THE SUN-DANCE KID. -Just like Butch and Sundance,Luke (Jeff Osterhage) and Barney

(Scott McGinnis) are bank rob-bers at the turn of the century andBarney always uses too many ex-plosives on the job, blowing thebank into smithereens. After thisopening, you expect one to turn tothe other and say "Think you us-ed enough dynamite there,Butch?"If brains were dynamite,though, these two wouldn't havehad enough to blow their nose.They get caught robbing a bank,but instead of going to prison,they are drafted into the army andsent to France to fight World WarI. It's here, twenty minutes intothe film, that you begin to suspectthat you're not going to get whatyou've been promised.Now at the front, Luke andBarney somehow just simply walkaway from their regiment, neverare missed and hook up with a

British Air Force outfit afterdestroying one of their biplanes.Now instead of being shot theyare taught how to fly despite theirinabilities to read or think logical-ly. Don't ask me why Luke andBarney just don't sneak away likethey did before; I can't evenfigure out why they have the oddhabit of using each other's nameafter every other sentence as ifthey feared forgetting to whomthey were speaking if they didn't.Now from the title, you wouldguess they learn to fly, steal theplanes and start a barn-stormingbank-robbing scam in France.That's not even considered bythese two numbskulls. This filmnow becomes a limp version ofTHE BLUE MAX as Barney andLuke agree to shoot down a Ger-man airship that's as big as a city,which has been raining deathO r i g i n a l C h o r e o g r a p h yTo High l igh t Rec i t a l V

Hewas born in the small northernCalifornia town of Ojai, in 1939,into a family that he describes as,"being run by my father, thefascist. His name was Sir$"According to Linville his initialinterest in things thespian did notexist until puberty threw his glan-dular system amok. Then in afevered search for surcease, heeven tried football until decidingthat it was too painful, even as ameans of becoming attractive toyoung ladies of the female persua-sion. When he learned that thehigh school drama club had 25girls and no boys, his opportunitypresented itself and he seized it.He even convinced a brawnyfriend from the football team tojoin him. The Air Force and thegridiron both lost Larry Linvilleto acting. With the spread ofAmerican television, it is no exag-geration to say that their loss wasour gain. "T ; I

EvenHot Lips is being a bloodyHawkeye in drag. Where's thecontrastvwhere's the color? Peo-ple are not all the same. The ac-tor's profession is to portray thesepeople and not kid the public andsay "I don't like my image so I'llchange and show you I'm kindand loving." That's crap, that'sego.

One, give us characters wecare about, or at least like; andtwo, and most important, makethe action exciting.McGinnis and Osterhage need acrash course in charisma. Theyare supposed to be loveablerogues, but since they can'ttransmit any kind of charm to theaudience, they come off asnothing more than knuckleheads.The chemistry between themcomes through only when they arepunching each other in the face,something they do with curiousfrequency. The script gives themdull dialogue to recite, and thefunniest trait scriptwriter ThornKeyes created for Barney was thathe kept forgetting his matcheswith which to ignite his dynamite.A totally yuckless piece of work -devoid of any humor.After seeing hundreds ofmovies containing flawless,realistic looking special effects,you forget that not everyone is aGeorge Lucas. SKY BANDITSuses techniques, like back projec-ting an image behind a plane set tomake it appear to be flying, thatcause it to Toothe old SUPERMAN TV, series.The shots of the monstei airshipare either fuzzy and out of focus

Another could be that they spent albudget money creatingwhiz-bang special effeccouldn't afford sets.
