SS$S^ss ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^iYitzhak Rabin Assassinated
The Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin was shot by
YigalAmir, whil e Rabin w a s addressing a crowd of 10,000. The
assassination of Prime Minister Rabin by a fellow Jew stunned the
Israelis. IThousands of Israelis paid their fi nal tribute to their
slain leader.They lighted candles on the square where he was slain,
prayed at theWestern Wall, and we nt filing through the afternoon
and into thenight past his simple soldier's coffin, wrapped in an
Israeli flag.Many world leaders attended the last journey of Prime
MinisterRabin; others sent condolence messages. Theassassin was
capturedand Israelis are holding h is brother as a suspect,
accomplice in theplot apt I.
i. Israel's Acting Prime Minister, Shimon Peres, said that he
would* not call foran early el ection as expected by the citizens
of Israel. The>*law requires at least 100 days notice in Israel
before an election canbe held, so the earliest election can be held
in February next year.
Hindustan forHindus OnlyA Hindu nationalist group, Shiv Sena,
also classified as guerrillamilitants, recently gathered for* a
demonstration in Bombay toprotest against the different ethnic
groups who live in India. Thisgroup has a concept of India in which
non-Hindus, especially the110 million M uslims, must accept the
primacy of the700 m illionHindus in-virtually every sphere of
fife.Balasahed K/Thakeray, 68 , the Shiv Sena leader; w ho calls
himselfthe "Hitler of Bom bay," launched this protest march.In
1992, millions of Hindus gathered and destroyed a
500-year-oldmosque at Ayohdhya, in Uttar Pradesh. A riot erupted
follow ing theincident and the Hindus killed over 1,200 Muslims.
They burneddown many Muslim homes and businesses. There are fears
amongstthe Muslims mat a similar incident may occur again because
of the
movement launched by Shiv Sena.
Cutbacks on Foreign Doctors inU.S.The recent overflow o f
foreign m edical doctors who come to the
United States for advanced training and residency and continue
tostay on has made the CI intonAdministration cutback on the
inflowof foreign doctors. jThere are 149,00 0 international m

In my book, ecclecticism is de-fined as the meshingof
different,perhaps even contrasting, styles.The last few weeks as I
have beendiscussing myfirst rue love: punkrock. This weekthe focus
shifts toa style that gets across much thesame message in a very
differentway. It's the'return of
CypressmivnthCypressHUini(Templesof Boom).T think very few people
realizethat punk has had considerableinfluence on the world of
hip-hop: the attitude. Hip-hop artiststoday rap about what guys
such asKeith Morris, Jello Biafra, andGreg Ginn were singing
aboutfifteen years ago. Songs such asBlack Flag's "Police Story,"
theDead Kennedys "Police Truckand the Bad Brains "Regulatorlashed
ou t from the undergroundat police brutality.Anyway, to the review.
The newalbum. ///, has a new and im-proved Cypress Hill sound
thatmakes up for the repetitive ness of1992's Black Sunday. It
featuresa muchmore mellow sound, start-ing with the anthem to the H
ill'sinspiration,"SparkAnother Owl."The whole album has a
danknessto it, lent by DJ Mu ggs' spookysampling and bad beats that
goboom-boom-bip.This is more thaneven I expected from the Hill,who
could *ve thrown some of themore original tracks from BlackSunday
onto their self-titledbreakthrough album. -Hrhe new album is much
more

abrasive, and features breaks fromone-time Soul Assassin
brothersHouse of Pain, whose albumswere heavily influenced and
pro-duced by Muggs. "House of Painain't down with us" are the
wordsuttered on the track "Strictly Hip-Hop," which also lashes out
attrendy, sell-out R & B artists,which is just about alhof
them."Spark Another Owl" also fea-tures a mock session of "MTVNews"
with Kurt Loder.Cypress Hillfrontman B-Realisas nasal ashe wants to
be on thisalbum, and^Sen-Dog iswperfectsupport to him, taking the
lead ontracks like "Killa Hill N*****,"produced by the Wu-Tang
Clans'RZA. Tracks such as "ThrowYour Set in the Air"
and"Locotes"have the old Cypress Hill sound,while|"Illusions" and
"BoomBiddy Bye Bye" mark the new,more mellow sound in which thetrio
is heading.Overall I think this is one of thebest hip-hop albums I
have everbought. The group was able tobreak new ground without
com-promising their old style or whatthey stand for. If anything,
theyhave even hardened their positionand solidified a spot as one
oftoday's best pure hip-hop acts.This is the last column beforewe
go on break, but I must alsomention thenew self-titled albumfrom
the band BossjHog. Thisgroup features Jon Spencer fromthe Blues
Explosion and is frontedby his wife Cristina Martinez.They also
have a blues-type soundbut they rock out more. Anyway,that's
material for a whole newt rnlumn. Good-bye. 4%

HELMETBy Dan HilfikerEditor-in-Chief
Well, here I sit again at the computer trying to write
anothercolumn for the Merciad. This is the very last issue of the
Merciadfor this Fall term, and it was very hard thinking of a topic
to writeon this week, but I came to a decision mis weekend while
talkingwith my roommate. There is a definite problem with
theoperationsof the HammermiU Library. I know that this is an old
and longdebated problem around this campus, but I g uess that you
neverthink to say anything about it until the problems with the
libraryactually touch h ome.JOn Saturday, Nov. 4,1 needed to
research a topic for a term paper.I decided that the Info-Trac was
the best way to .access thisinformation,butwas very disappointed
when I found a line of aboutfour people waiting to use the
terminals. One of he computers doesnot evenhave printing
capabilities because it is down for repair.Theonly way to retain
any information was to sit there and write downall of your
information by hand, on a sheet of paper. This would notbe a
problem if you onl y have two or three things to write down,
butwhat are you going to do when there are multitudes of resources
torecord into a notebook.It is my opinion that there should be at
least twoof these Info-Traccomputers on each floor, or six
altogether. This would reduce thenumber of people wasting their
time waiting in line to use themachines and also make all of the
resources in the library moreaccessible to more students.There also
should be more of an attempt made to speed up theautomation process
at the library. I know that there is a LibraryAutomation Committee
which is working on the advanced automa-tion of he library, but
Ihave heard that the expected date for the finalautomation of the 1
ibrary is set for another year and a half. Not untilthe Fall of
1997. If this is so , then I will not even be able to enjoy thenew
advances in automation. Not to sound selfish, but we needautomation
now so that thepresent students, as well as faculty andstaff, can
enjoy the benefits of automation.Why not hire a few morework
studies to help in the task? Are fourmore computers, with Info-Trac
capabilities^going to break thebudget for the library? If not, then
why has the school not boughtthem already, ifam sure that the
library and its workers wouldappreciate moreworkstudy help as well
as about four new comput-ers that are capable of running the
Info-Trac program*Other areas in which the library dramatically
needs to improve, areElectronic mail (E-mail), and internet access.
These are areas thatthe school must upgrade if it is committed to
moving in the rightdirection and becoming a modernized institution,
one that is capableof moving into the 21st century.I was told that
the college is working on getting the entire schoolaccess to the
internet and also E-mail accounts,.but why has thisprocess been so
slow? I know that almost all of myfriends n othercolleges and
universities,manyof which are smaller hanMercyhurst,have access to
the internet and E-mail accounts. These people havebeen asking me
for some time to give them my E-mail account, butmy reply is always
"I don't have one yet, the college does notgiveus access." This is
a sad inconvenience because it is cheaper, faster,and easier to
send messages through the E-mail, than having to writeeverything
down on paper and paying for the postage.
In a listing of the minutes of the College Senate Library
Commit-tee meeting onO ct 24 , it says that the library's budget
was trimmedby 15 p ercent lastyear in order to cover some of he
costs associatedwith automating the library, and that it is
anticipated that the budgetwillbe reduced again this year.
Furthermore, the library hasalreadyspent over 80 percent of its
budget on basic purchases such asperiodical subscriptions. This is
not the way to automate the library.The budget should not have to
be trimmed in order to facilitate theautomation of the library.
That only serves to hurt the students,because the lower budget
means jfewer new resources will beavailable for the needs of the
student and faculty population as awhole.If the college were truly
interested in offering the students of *Mercyhurst College a top
notch education, men they would not cutresources and budgeted
money

The Heavyweight Championof the Right Speaks! OutBy Emilio
ColaiacovoMerciad ColumnistI have taken a moment thisweeknot to
write about the dcmagogu-ery of Demo crats in Co ngress, orthe flip
flopping of PresidentClinton, but to honor a peace-maker who was
slain last Satur-day night On Saturday evening aright wing Israeli
fundamentalistgunned down, Yitzhak Rabin, theIsraeli Prime
Minister, and theauthor of peace agreements withthe Palestinians,
and Jordanians.We together, as people of theworld, mourn the loss
of a greatpeacemaker.
As I was walking across ourbeautiful cam pus, I looked up a tour
flag and I n oticed that it wasflying athalf ma st I felt glad
thatit was flying at half-mast,)be -cause it symbolized that the
en-tire world, not just Israel, lost agreat man who gave his life
forthe sake of peace. I looked at ourflag, and said to myself that
thisflag stands forfreedomand peace,two things!that7Yitzhakf
Rabinultimately gave his life for.I was so distraught when I
heardof Prime Minister Rabin's death.I was so confused as to why a
manso great had to be assassinated.Immediately, I said to my
friends,
"this is as devastating as the as-sassination of A nwar
el-SadaL"Rabin, like Sadat, was a manwho in the beginning, was
quiteskeptical of the peace process.He believed that only a
militarysol u tion would bring about p eace.However, Rabin, like
Sadat,learned that a peace achievedthough diplomacy is greater
thanpeace achieved on the battlefield.History has shown that *
Beforehe was tragically gunned down,he said before a peace rally,
"Iwas an army man for twenty-sevenyears. I foughtwhile there
wasnochance for peace. I believe thereis a chance of peace, and we
musttake it." After so many years offighting, Rabin had a chance
toforgeja peace that would savelives, and prevent further
blood-shed in a war torn area. He ulti-mately was a martyr for
peace.What does this symbolize forthe rest of the world? As
aworld,we have lost a visionary whowished that peace might come toa
land that desperately needed i tHe, along with Shimon Peres

Loss of a PeacemakerBy Meredith Toback
On Saturday, Nov. 4,1995 , theworld had lost a piece of
itself.Thatwas theday thatIsraeli PrimeMinister Yitzhak Rabin was
as-sassinated by Yigal Amir. PrimeMinister Rabin did not deserve
tobe killed.) He was a dove in aworld ofvultures, sharing
thehopeand dream of peace. For centu-ries, Israel and her Arab
neigh-bors have been at each other'sthroats. It has been ingrained
inboth cultures to hate one another.Rabin defied what was taught
Hewas the first of toad'siPrim eMinisters to start the process
ofpeace.Ironically, that is why he waskilled - for pea ce. Yigal Am
ir, a45 yearold staunch Orthodox Jew,assassinated R abin in cold
blood.Amir is a very well educatedman. At the University of Ben-Han
he studied law, computers,and Jewish studies. He also de-voutly
believed in his religion.
especially the w ords of theTorah(Bible). Thou shall not kill is
oneof the ten commandments in theTorah. Apparently, Amir did
notlive by those words devoutly.When arrested by the Israeliarmy
(police), Amir stated thathe assassinated Rabin "forGod." God was
not the only rea-son that led him to murder. It wasfor political
reasons also. Amirfelt that Rabin was making toomany concessions
with the Ar-abs. Amir did n ot realize that thecompromise was one
of themanysteps toward pe ace.>&l will close this article
with theseremaining thoughts of the latePrime Minister. Not only
Israeland the Jews, but the entire worldhas lost a great man. To
see Arabsand Jews push for peace has re-stored my faith in
humankind. Inmy heart, I hope that the steps
5 still taken. I may
erations of Israelis and Palestin-ians.It is imperative that his
light ofpeace is never extinguished. As aworld, weineed to all
realizeYitzhak Rabin'svision for peace.We must continue his work,
sothe future of peace negotiationscan continue, and the bloodshedin
Israel and the Middle East willstop.It was kind of ironic,
andmaybeintended by God, that just beforehe was assassinated he was
sing-ing "the peace song" of Israel.When R abin was shot, his
bloodstained his copy of "the peace
song" in his coat pocket. It iskindof sad that the peace he
workedfor required his blood. However,we must learn from his life
andwe all must continue the workthat he gave his life for.Acting
Prime M inister ShimonPeres, while fighting back tears,said to all
of Israel, 'There isnothing else we can do, as com-rades, as
friends bu t to continuealong a* great roadfpaved by agreat
leader." Mr. Peres summedit up better than I ever could. Weallmust
continue the road to peace,the one that Yitzhak Rabin madepossible
through his vision anddream. God Bless Yitzhak Rabin.
Krayger, cont from p. 4wouldn 't accidentally trip into
thestreet.A few week s later, I talked tomy momon Halloween night.
Shetold me all about Christopher'sschool parade. John went
withmyparent's and Kim to see Chrisdo his thing.In the middle of
the procession,Johnny lost all control and ran toChristopher,
overcome by theurgeto run up and hug his best friend.Chris then m
ade a space for Johnin line, and handed him some ofthe candy he had
collected. Fromwhat mymom said, it was a magi-cal moment
John and Chris were running tothe corner that day in early
Octo-ber.I thought of how we all havethose people who grab on to us
sothat we don't fall into the streetand get run over by a car. And
Ithought ofhowit feels when some-one is so overcome by your m
erepresence that they just have tojump up and hug and kiss
you.Butmost of all, I thought abouthow it is the spontaneity of

onFriday? Well 15 Mercyhurst stu-dents and 1 faculty member choseto
spend the night engaging infriendship, bonding and
religiousexperiences.gjFor the past several years, Cam-pus Ministry
has been going onits annual Peer M inister's Retreat.Peer Ministers
are a group of 26students ranging from RA's,ROTC members, to
football play-ers and more. Many, in our highschool years were
involved inourcommunity churches or servicearea back home. They
have de-cided to continue by becominginvolved {in Campus
Ministry.The goal of Cam pus Ministry isto be of service to the
MercyhurstCommunity. It has dedicated itstime to help any student
who hasa problem or just needs to talk.
The Peer Ministers offer sev-eral areas of service such
asAdoj>f-A-Grandparent and theSoup Kitchen. Just recently
theycompleted the annual MercyhurstCollege%bod Drive.f
MSG,3heHockey Team and Women's Soc-cer, just to name a few, all
cameout to help. It was an incrediblesuccess. M uch of the success
ofthese programsps due to a "new* to Campus Ministry.Michelle G

responsiblity of service

She isin charge of acquiring Social Se-curity numbers for them, as

Steve has been with the col-lege nearly eight years,and dur-ing
that time he has accomplishedmany goals he set for the
CampusMinistry. Many, if not allof youknow him from our church
ser-vices and religious dasse s that heteaches here at the
college.Throughout the course of a dayhe has his regular visitors
such as
Anthony Skarote and JeffMonreal. You can even catch aglimpse of
him in the Cove w ithChad Martin. The main;:reasonfor writing this
article was due toa comment he had heard. Some-one approached him
and asked,"What do we do at Campus Min-istry and our Retreats?" He
ex-plained, but, I got the feeling thathe wished (more studen ts
knewabout Campus Ministry's work.I hope that in reading this

offeringmany exciting events. TomBender,oneofourPeer Ministerswill
be starting a prayer/Biblestudy group. You don't have tobe Catholic
to join. In the springwe hope to have a Retreat open tothe entire

was doingwhen I heard this news. I remem-ber that I kept
thinking,"It can'tbe true. No one would murderfour citizens of h e
United States."But it was true, Maura and Itawere Maryknoll
sisters, Dorothywas an Ursuline from Clevelandand Jean was a young

chose toremain in El Salvador in the faceof persecution and death
threatsand false accusations. They choseto walk the journey with
the poor,and it cost them their lives.
tI was in El Salvador on Decern-'

werefirst placed in a shallow grave, Iwas with a Maryknoll sister

Gotta BelieveBy Patrick Duff GouldContributing writer
Sometime in your life, when you least expect it, fate will
intervene. Adream that seemed so distant and unobtainable can b e
miraculously beplaced within grasp of your shaking hands. Youwill
look upsmiling andwonder why you've been given the chance. My
advice, for what it'sworth, is don 't question it, but go after it
with all the strength and powerthat you possess. The Mercyhurst
men's soccer team has been given thechance. We were voted into
theNCAA playoffs on Monday. We are oneof 12 teams in the country to
make that cut 379 other teams had the samedream we did, and for 348
other teams, the season is over. After adevastating loss to Oakland
University, w e thought hopes of realizing ourdream werefinished,
hank God they wer en't iSo now , after a long hard seaso n, we have
the opportunity to play, toreally plat for what we came to college
dreamingof, a National Champi-onship. We have com e together from
the corners of the Earth to be here.England, Scotland, Antigua, and
even as far away as Erie. These playersare all so different white,
black, sort of smart, pretty dumb, and yet, stillthe same deep
down. They all have the hearts of lions andshare the desire
to compete.Sometimes at practice I stop and look around me
amazed at what I see.I stand and watch Greig Waddel, our
captain,fly nto a tackle studs up, andwince. I see his passion and
am inspired. I watch Glenn Francis climbhigher into the air than I
ever thought possible. I watch Ian Dickerson spindefenders with
such skill that you don't know whether to laugh or cry forthem. I
hear a piercing scream from the leftflank,and see Shawn
Kroenersomehow slip through three defenders that end up looking as
though theyjust seen a "futbol" for thefirst ime. I watch Jimmy
Reene pull the ballonto his foot as though itwas surgically
attached. I watch Mike Domm andI feel his determination, his spirit
indomitable. I watch Keith Selvitelli andunderstand why they call
him Killer. I se e Stuart Hogg and wonder if heever slows down. I
see Jack Lengel and Avery Jonas streak down theflan ks with more
speed than Keanu Reeves. I see Mike S hiels and ErikClark
intermittently rocket past countless dazed defenders. I turn
aroundto see Darren Murray turn into an inpenetrable wall. ^
I see all these things, and I cannot doubt that we will be
competing fora National Championship. I'm not being unrealistic,
just optimistic. Wehave the opportunity to grab hold of something
that is so special, I havetrouble comprehending it 50Years from
now, we will lookback onthis...and still smile.I Very few people
ever get this close to their dreams; even fewer can makethem com e
true. I hope we canfind n ourselves that magic of belief,
thatfeeling of optimism and determination that creates champions.
Becausethat's where it starts, from the inside. I hope for us and
for you that ourdream comes true. j

Twelve min-utes later the Ravens struck againon a set p iece . And'

Defen-sive errors and the failure to clearthe ball led to four

Thescore wasnot indicative ofthe kind of gamelthe Lakersplayed.

On a cold, sleety and snowySaturday afternoon, men's soc-cer
played their final gam e o f theregular season against
OaklandUniversity. The team knew that awin would guarantee them a
spotboth in the playoffs and also inLaker sports history. On the

fell to a frustrating andheartbreaking 2-1 overtime loss .Going
into the game the Lakerswere ranked number three in theregion as
opposed to Oakland'snumber eight ranking. AsSaturday's game began ,
itlookedas if the rankings were justified asthevisitingLakers

Lengel made asolo run up the entire length ofthe
field and unleashed a pile-driverthatwas justbarely deflected

whoopened the scoring with a welltaken goal from a
cornerkickwithjust seven minutes gone in thegame. The home side's
goal cameoffa breakaway attackwhich theyused to good effect through
thegame. Content on soaking upintense Laker pressure, Oaklandwould
suddenly spring a sweep-ing attack of their own that morethan once

majority of play as theysea rched agonizingly foran equal-izer. In
the 66th minute, the searchwas answered by sophomore for-ward Mike

he had an interceptionjust 50 seconds into the game.The
Laker*offense took posses-sion and after three plays werefourth
down and four. The gambleto go for it did not pay off andGannon got
the ball back.On the next drive Gannon triedto convert on fourth
and one butthe Laker defense stood strongand prevented the first
down.
Throughout the remainder of thefirst quarter both defenses
wereon top and the score remained 0-0 after 15 minutes of
play.Mercyhurst tried to get on thescoreboard early in the
secondquarter but sophomoreEric Wickswas wide of the posts with a
37yard field goal attempt. Wickswould get a chance to makeamends
later on .Their next possession the Lakersaw offense really got

who gave the Lakers their firstpoints when he rumbled for
19yards and a touchdown. Wick'safter point attempt was blockedand
the half ended with the menfrom the hill leading 6-0.As the second
