    before the date was definite.That was taken care of Wednes-day morning, when Keith Rose,Brenner's representative from theWilliam Morris Agency in NewYork, called Carter with the final The event is the creation of anMSG special projects committee,established by Rich Lanzillo andchaired by Carter. .MA'budget of $18,000 was allot-ted to the committee, whose goalwas to bring a big name performerto the campus.According to Carter, the com-mittee looked into different op-

    tions, including the possibility ofa band. But she cited problemsthat could occur in booking aband, such as insufficient on-campus facilities, and the difficul-ty in finding a band that plays atype of m usic appealing to the ma-jority of students. tOnce it was decided to bring ina comedian, the committee beganintroducing ideas. Most of theother comedians suggested, suchas George Carlin, Bill Cosby, andEddie Murphy, were out of thecommittee's price range. IAs it is, Brenner's fee is$12,300, which is reduced1!fromhis usual price of over $20,000because it's a college perfor-mance. The school will also payfor his expenses, including roundtrip plane fare from Los Angeles,limousine service while'1 he's intown, and his lodging.Carter was largely instrumentalin securing Brenner for his Mer-cyhurst appearance. There was asteady communication flow bet-ween Erie and New York over thepast few weeks, with Carter claim-ing Rose "very helpful" in work-ing out uhe details of the

    performance, f \Next, a contract will have to bedrawn up, specifying everythingrequired by both parties. Then,said Carter, "there's a lot to bedone." ' .- fAn ^advertising campaign,utilizing local newspapers, televi-sion and radio stations, will be setin motion. A security force willhave to be procured, and as theshow approaches, help will beneeded to ready" the CampusCenter. V To even further involve the stu-dent body, Carter mentioned thepossibility of a "have dinner withDavid Brenner" contest, open on-ly to Mercyhurst students. Thisidea is tentative, and won't befinalized for a couple weeks.1Carter expects tickets J for theshow to go on sale "possibly inMarch." Prices will be $8.00 forMercyhurst students-college iden-tification must be shown, and on-ly one'ticket per student can bebought at this price-and $10.00for everyone else. All seats will begeneral admission.Carter is optimistic about theevent, which is the first ap-

    MSG MeetsjClub Request;Revises Book-Lend! Projectby John Broderick Jr.MERCIAD Staff ReporterPat Songer, representing theEarth Science Club at Mercyhurstapproached the Student Govern-ment Monday with a request for$500 to help defray some of thetravel expenses the. club will befaced with on future trips.Songer explained that onlystudents who are in the EarthScience club will be able to go onthe trips, one of which is to theSmithsonian in Washington D.C.,other trips include camping in"Virginia and in Pennsylvania.

    Anyone may join the EarthScience club for a fee of $5.00once paying the $5.00 any student

    Vmay attend the away trips.The Student Governmentagreed on the funding and on allin faVor response was returned bythe government.Brian Doherty brought forth arevised,, proposal of his book-lending program. The new revisedproposal would require a studentcommittee to be formed bygovernment to aid in the resale ofcollege texts at reduced prices.The new committee would then beresponsible for ithe collection,distribution, and payment of textsto individuals.The new student book commit-tee would make the sale'of usedbooks and the buying of usedbooks much easier for studentsaccording to : Doherty. This'ser-vice, when inacted, will be per-form ed for students free ofcharge. .Laura Copney, Student Ac-tivities Committee chairperson,advised the Student Governmentof tonight's' Gong-Show to beheld in the Zurn Recital Hall at 8p.m. Copney also announced thatthe cost-' of the Sunday nightmovies is going to be raised from$.50 to $.75. The new price willstay in effect for the remainder of

    the movie series. This Sundaynight's movie is "Paternity."Wydetta Carter, in

    Book-LendMay Be Dead EndThe recent Mercyhurst Student Government proposal toadopt an "Operation Book-Lend" type program is based on

    a valid need, but in reality, would probably fail miserably atMercyhurst.According to the original proposal, which was modified atthis Monday's meeting, MSG would outlay'$5,000 for thepurchase of textbooks which students could borrow after pay-ing an initial $5.00 club fee. The modified pro posal calls for astudent committee to be formed to aid in the resale of collegetexts at reduced prices. They would be responsible for adver-tising, collection, distribution, and payment o r return of textmaterials to their respective owners.Although the first project is designed to help students savemoney, the $5,000 expenditure by MSG would be a m ajor riskinvolving a large sum of money. To break even, 1,000students would have to utilize the service. This is a highlydubious expectation. Even the second MSG proposal seems toinvolve a lot of work without any solid guarantee that enoughstudents would take advantage of it.First of all, most Mercyhurst students who wish to savemoney in textbook purchases already read the bulletin b oardsadvertising used books or else they approach ^friends or ac-quaintances who may h ave already used the text and be will-ing to sell or lend.Second, many students prefer to purchase a new book andretain it for future reference.It is also inconceivable th at MSG would be able to satisfy asmany students as possible. Even the seemingly extravagantamount of $5,000 would not be wisely spent buying enoughbooks to supply the h undreds of Fall Term R hetoric scholarsor by purchasing the ten or twelve overpriced texts for classeswhich* convene only once every two years.' The samecustomer-satisfaction problem would-be encountered in thesecond p roject as well. However one looks at the endeavor, itwill never make everybody happy.Instead, MSG acting as a book-lend or book-sell mediatorbetween stude nt sellers and buyers by com piling a listing eachterm is a good alternative requiring less time, less work, andless risk.Another good idea which is successfully practiced at othercolleges and universities such as Behrend College, is the cam-pus bookstore itself buying back textbooks from students andthen identifying them with a "Used" sticker and re-sellingthem under the current list price but above the price awardedthe student seller. This will enable students to save moneywhile the bookstore could still generate a profit.Of course the bookstore could impose stipulations on itsoperation such as not buying back books which may not beused again or not; purchasing Idamaged -books. This planI. sounds simple in theory but to be implemented at the collegewould require some serious consideration and planning. Itcertainly deserves that much.

But, young or old, allthe time I have had the privilege tobe a part of the school I havealways felt that I was a guest ofthe founders of this community. Ifeel that it needs to be said that

    the good sisters on the third floorought to be shown a little morerespect and consideration.We the public, as their guestsand so called adult delinquents in-cluded, need to rethink and ex-amine our campus life. I know I

    Privacy:The Right Way,The Wrong WayBy Khalid MassoudMERCIAD Staff ReporterIt is extremely sad to hear that astudent is opposed to regulationsand laws which are imposed fortheir own protection and privacy.Two weeks ago a letter from aM c A u l e y H a l l r e s i d e n t ,"McAuley Living is Worse ThanHome" complained about the lossof privacy. It seems to us that theresident does not understand themeaning of privacy.* Privacy as it is defined in theAmerican Heritage J Dictionarymeans "The condition of beingsecluded," if that is what he istalking about. That privacy doesnot bother the R.A. or the securi-ty,'because he is not hurting mybody, but hhe other kind ofprivacy which allows all sorts ofillegal things is not privacy.The ' resident also mentionedthat "dorm life is supposed to bea * major growth experience inone's life," which is correct. Butgrowth does not come by consum-

    ing alcohol and smoking drugs,that is not growth that is a damag-ing experience of the brain and thehealth of human beings.The resident also mentioned thetrust of his parents to his ability ofbetter judgement. It was a wrongtrust because the resident did notunderstand the meaning of thattrust.Trust does not mean > keepingyour girlfriend in the house aslong as she desires, or consumingalcohol even if you are under thelegal age. Trust is more than that.If we are talking about the trustbetween parents and son, trustmeans confidence and faith in youthat you will use the best judge-ment in solving problems that willface you in the future.The R.A.I and the securityguards are not here to prevent youfrom having a growth experiencein your life, but they are here tomake sure you have the rightexperience.

    Second In A SeriesPresident LanzilloExplains Issues, GoalsBy Carte AndersonMERCIAD Assistant EditorThis is the second part of a two-

    part series on the views andassessments of the 1982-83 Mer-cyhurst Student Government asseen by MSG President* RichardLanzillo.Q. Why was the transfer of theShuttle Service changed from of-ficers to independent studentvolunteers??We did that in an.effort toguarantee that the Shuttle Serviceand other services will continue inyears to come. It has always beena worry of ours since we createdthe Shuttle Service two years ago,it has been completely run on avolunteer basis.The officers sign people up, seethat it's advertised, and I usuallydrive the van. It has been a projectdone through the generosity of theofficers. We just don't know, nextyears officers might do the sameand years after might do the same.But sooner or later someone is go-ing to decide that this is just toomuch trouble to do for free.Consequently, we've decided toimplement a plan that willguarantee the continuation of ser-vices like shuttle by giving peoplean incentive to continue it. In thiscase it is a monetary incentive, inexchange for running the service,implementing the service and ca r-rying out the service. The personwill receive either a percentage orthe entire revenue generated bythe service. At this point, our ex-penses* have been very low andrevenues have been higher than

    expected. Therefore, it's moneythat we don't need. We elected tobegin implementing it this year towork the bugs out of it, so it willbe ready for next year as well.I enjoy personally doing theShuttle Service. I get to see a lot ofpeople, and it contributes to thevisability of student government.That's why I enjoy doing it. But,the time has come when we haveto start thinking about what hap-pens after the current officers whoare all seniors now leave. A newgroup might not necessarily havethe experience with it that we havehad. But, i we a are going to givethem the chance to have a systemto fall back on to help it continuein the future* *Q. Under the condition thatnext year's student governmentofficer core will be all newstudents, how do you thinkgovernment will run next year?It has always been important tous to ship as much responsibilityto the representatives as possibleand it's likely but not positive thata few of next year's officers willprobably come from the represen-tative body. I think in light of thefact that we have allowed therepresentatives to take a large rolein running the government thepast year or two that thereshouldn't be any problems nextyear. Inifact, at this point somenfew blood may be good. ' ^if think it's our responsibilitythis year to make sure that we laythe ground work for the nextyear's officers so they will havesomething to fall back on, and

    F R A M E

    won't have to start from scratch.If we do that, I think they willhave no problem at a ll picking upthe government.Q. If you had to name the mostcontroversial Issue during yourterms as president, what would itbe?This year, I would say there is anumber of them. I can't really sayone that vis most controversial.

    Richard LanzilloThe judicial proposal sponsoredby Bryan Doherty went throughseveral modifications and underscrutiney not only by members ofthe governemnt, but members ofthe Senate,* and the administra-tion. It required a lot of modifica-tion and a lot of tact in terms ofgetting that into a workable form,which it finally ended up to be.Surprisingly, th% introductionof reps into | their departmentmeetings stirred a lot more con-troversy than I ever anticipated. Itcaught me by surprise. Funding for the Student Unionrenovations was a touchy subject

    3867 PEACH STREET

    in government for a while. But,finally was ratified. In'terms ofthe administration though, thatwasn't the most controversial.Out of this term, those would pro-bably be the top three. -Q. What are some of the con-troversial issues in the past?Another growing controversythat we have dealt with year toyear, and l'm$sure we'll discussagain has been the yearbook. I'mhappy to say the quality of theyearbook, has improved over thepast year and we're hoping that itcontinues to do so. What has beenthe past controversy has been thelarge amount of funds it requiresto put out a yearbook, and com-paring the expenses incurred put-ting out a yearbook and therevenue generated by it, we reallyhave been losing quite a bit ofmoney over the past couple years.This year we hope to involve thestudent reps directly in selling toincrease revenues and make * it amore cost efficient operation. Butanything where a disbursement o fa large amount of the student ac-tivity fee is being used, it becomescontroversial. If it >continues toimprove, the controversy shoulddisappear.

    Q. What are your goals in stu-dent government for the re-mainder of this year?Generally, to continue to im-prove the involvement of the stu-dent government reps. Especiallyin a few critical areas. Govern-ment Relations .has always beenvery important to me. I think it'scrucial that we at least keep in-formed about what's going on inthe state an d' national level ofgovernment. Sooner or later, thatwill affect us directly. And, weshould try to effect the decisionsbeing made on the state and na-tional level, with a combined ef-fort of other colleges anduniversities.
