TrumpetstolenA trumpet valued at$1,000 was stolen f rom St.Mark's music departmenton Saturday, January 12.The owner, freshmanmusic major? Mike Good-man, was practicing earlierthat evening in a sound-proof music cubicle.

to leaving the premises thekeys were left on a nearbytable. | :T h e t w o s t u d e n t sn o t i f i e d s e c u r i t y im -mediately.

Open ForumAlcohol proposal, campus policiesasked of College administratorsThe Open Forum held lastThursday night in Baldwin lob-by proved^to be an interestingexchange^ between studentsa n d t h e c o l l e g e a d -ministrators. Mercyhurst Col-lege President Dr. William P.Garvey, Academic Dean Dr.David Palmer, and Director ofStudent Services? E. WilliamKennedy answered questionsfor about an hour and a half.Approximately 30 studentswho were at the Forum askeda variety of questions to thepanel.By far, the most talkedabout issue at the Forum con-cerned the -administration'sproposal to crack down on thedrinking on campus.According to Kennedy, "theproposal is to obey the statelaw of Pennsylvania." The pro-posal covers three areas in ac-cordance with Pennsylvanialaw, In this state, drinking isprohibited under the age of 21 ,it is illegal to be "drunk", andit is* illegal to sell alcoholwithout a license. M *From an administ rat ionview, the proposal has twopoints; first it states the defini-tion of drunkenness, which in-cludes abusive behavior. Thesecond point calls for enforce-

m e n to t-lh e_|s o - c a II e d"speakeasy" law. \ This lawdoes not allow anyone todist r ibute or sel l alcoholwithout a license or distributeit to someone under 21 . rThe purposes of,:the en-forcement of this proposal,are, according to Kennedy,"those areas that would bringattention to themselves (for

example, the site of the party)by other behavioral man-nerisms (such as loud noise)then we would close the facili-ty down and fine the sponsors-residents of that unit."| Consequences for violatingthis proposal will first be a finefor action. Second offenderswill receive a larger fine and aban from campus housing.Kennedy comments that alack of tolerance for drunken-ness has invaded societyeverywhere except collegecampuses.Michael Goodman openedthe Forum concerning a re-cent ;theft?up at St, Mark's.Kennedy said that securitysystems are not foolproof. Ifkeys are left in the locks, as itseemed to happen on this oc-casion. Goodman's trumpetwas stolen from the prem ises.A $50 reward is being offeredfor any information concerning this incident;Goodman complained aboutthe lack of security up at St .Mark's. He also inquired aboutthe lights w hich have not beenreplaced along the MercyWalkway. } i pm Goodman 5 suggested thatthere should be some sort ofcheck-in system late night upat St. Mark's, similar to that inthe dorrrST Kefinedy claimedsuch a system would be tooexpensive, $Another issue raised at theForum,;was the utilization ofthe Campus Center and the ad-joining tennis courts. KatieDowlang complained of thelack of an open gym and Sco ttDonnelly, asked about the

hours for the tennis courts.It was explained that bothfacilities have posted hours.Sometimes reservations orspecial events scheduled inthe Campus Center may notallow the students to utilizethe gym. tAs for the tennis courts, Dr.Garvey explained that theywere built entirely by a groupof Trustee members in 1969. Itwas understood that memberscould use these courts threeor four nights weekly from 7-10p.m. fo r their own personaluse. ; - I !.Barb iSaye rs asked Dr.Garvey how the Capital Cam-paign was doing.* To da te $3million has been received. Dr.Garvey says the goal of fourmillion dollars wasuraised^to$4.5 million. Also, the Ham-mermill Paper Co. donatedone quarter of a mil l iondollars. This money will go toexpanding the library.
