To giveup the seminary's presence there is toperhaps admit that seminary formation isin an irreversible decline that it's never go-ing to come back, and they're not willing toaccept that,'' he suggested.( * **\ Dr . Garvey indicated that a short termresolution of? the situation would beunlikely."There appears to be no short termresolvement at this time.

' On Oct. 28, 1986, the EganScholars' program will be presen-ting John Nee, who will be givinga seminar entitled "CouponFraud: Who Gets Clipped?Nee teaches Criminal Justicehere at M ercyhurst and originallydid a paper on commercialcounterfeiting which was publish-ed late last year. The paperd i s cus s ed t he count erfe i tduplicating of such popular andexpensive items as Izod polo shirtsand Gucci watches and bags. Thepaper was presented to theAcademy of Criminal Justice.After the paper's completion,Nee discovered the enormity ofcoupon fraud that occurred in this

country, and that encouraged himto write another paper.In large cities such as Detroit,Chicago, Miami and New York,millions of dollars in couponfraud occur every year. Neebelieves t hat J the middle Easterncriminals are controlling theracket.Coupon fraud has many faces.It can be anything from printingphony coupons yourself to thestore's own cashiers slippingcoupons into their cash drawersand keeping the money reimburs-ed from the coupons.Nee's coupon fraud paper willbe published in the December1986 issue of the "Journal of

Security Adm inistration." *The seminar he has planned forthe Mercyhurst community willtry to show the enormity ofcoupon fraud as well as who's in-volved. Nee wishes to "expose toa very active criminal activity ofwhich few are awa re." Currently,Nee is w orking on a paper dealingwith product diversion. Hisknowledge of the various types ofwhite collar crime is as diverse ashis background in others forms ofcrime. iAll are welcome and invited tothe seminar which will be held inthe * faculty dining & room.

By Betsy LanteWhen Columbus v discoveredJamaica on May 5, 1494, his firstlandfall was St* An n's Bay, 'astunning white sandy shore on theisland's north coast, where, hereceived a hostile welcome fromArawak Indians.This Dec. 5, as a group of Mer-cyhurst .science students alsodiscover Jamaica, their receptionat St. Ann's Bay will be morehospitable. They will arrive at theHofstra University MarineLaboratory, a hands-on learningcenter devoted exclusively to theneeds of professors and studentsfrom the U.S. and Canada.These students will be earning"the hardest credits they will everlove to get,'* according to geologyprofessor Dr . Raymond Buyce, asthey spend ten days performinglab and field exercises in thetropics.Buyce, who will be instructingModern and'Ancient CarbonateDepositional Environments, willshare his professorial duties in theCaribbean with biology professorDr. Diane Dudzinski, who will in-struct in the area o f her specialty,Tropical Marine Biology. Boththree-credit courses are open toMercyhurst science majors, aswell as non-majors to be admittedat the professors' discretion.TheHofstra lab is an ideal loca-tion for the instruction of thesecourses, Dudzinski commented,because "St. Ann's Bay is pro-tected by a natural bank-barrierreef aboundingk in diverse com-munities of corals, tropical fishand sunken ships. Other en-vironments to be explored includelagoons, '"V srass beds.

"They were lifted abovesea level with the entire island ofJamaica as other nearby parts ofth e earth's crust plungeddownward,, forming an oceantrench several miles deep betweenJamaica and its northernneighbor, Cu ba.""These carbonate rocks are im -portant both* academically, * indeveloping an understanding ofhowjj the world formed, andeconomically, because similarrocks in other parts of the worldsupply much of our oil and gas,"Buyce. concluded. Geologystudents will also examinevolcanic rock deposits, cave ter-rains and a local bauxite mine.Biology students, on the otherhand, will focus on the ecology ofmarine life^forms. In doing so,Dudzinski hopes "they will gainan appreciation for the diversityof species in tropical regions,where man's intrusion has greatlyaccelerated the extinction rate ."Both,, professor s feel theirstudents will, benefit from sanoverlapping of the two courses.Geologists will study the distribu-tion of biological organisms inorder to understand ancient car-bonate rock deposits. * In* turn/biologists will .join in thegeological examination of fossil

The task for DiFon-zo was to determine how blugillssurvived in the pond when thenuclear reactor was operating.The nuclear reactor increased thewater temperature to 110 degrees

DiFonzo found that thefish hidin dark places and used their fat tosurvive because all its food wasterminated. Since the reactorswere shut down during her stay,DiFonzo, every week, caughtsome fish and through a grindingprocess, she tried to see a rate offat build up in the fish.

She was informedof her evaluations and herresearch will be submitted in anOak Ridge research paper. ^ *"Not everyone had results,"she said, "but, I had results andenough of them to present," shecontinued.

After graduating, DiFonzo isplanning to attend graduateschool. She is looking at theUniversity of Minnesota, amongOthers. If she doesn 't begin schooluntil Sept., she hopes to reapplynext summer to continue resear-ching. She doesn't feel that she'llhave a problem getting acceptedagain.

In last week's Merciad we sawsome of the qualifications ofgubernatorial candidates BobCasey and William Sc ranton. Thisweek, due to the fact that slightlyless publicity has been given to thesenate race, we will focus on thecandidates in that competition.This campaign pits the 56-year-old Republican incumbent ArlenSpecter against the Democraticentry of Bob Edgar, 43, a con-gressman whom the party hopeswill "Forge a new future." jSpecter is running on thestrength of his past record, mak-ing very few new campaign pro-mises. Some of the items Specterclaims which are relevent to thecollege vote:Specter Introduced the UnfairForeign Competition Act, whichwould allow' American firms toobtain court injunctions to stop il-legal imports, which harm vitaldomestic1 industries. - *. Specter has been a consistent| suppor ter of full funding for theGuaranteed Student Loan (GSL)

The letters that Ireceived from Mercyhurst fromFrank Hogan and Sr. Elizabethwere enthusiastic. The otherschools were very business likean d not personal like Mer-cyhurst." J- -Her home land is somewhat dif-ferent from the states, however, itis very modernized. "I t is abeautiful city, and at the bottomof the continent are oceans onboth*sides of i t $" Th e tone invoice became upbeat as shestarted talking about the oceans,"Because I love to surf andkayak." In fact, she was the Na-

tional Champion for WKayaking two years in probably still would be, left to come here.'Franklin does not hfamily here in the states.have a concern about thein her homeland and forbeing of her family.
