Proud Of Club's Success

The "Top Of The Hill Club"
was opened fall term at Mer-

Joe Mangano, general manager of
the club.
i "The purpose of the. dub was
to create.a nice meeting ground
for the teachers, faculty, staff and
a d m i n i s t r a t i o n , " stated
Mangano. "Every student in
HRM who started , the club
deserves a pat on the back.
They're a great bunch!"
The club will be open this
weekend on Friday and Saturday
from 6:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m.
Beginning next week, the-dub will
be open Wednesday, Friday and
Saturday at the same time in the
Mercyhurst Faculty Dining room.
"One of the nicest features of the
dub is that members can pay by
cash, check or charge and be bill-
ed at the end of each month,"
said Mangano.
"Currently we have 25
members in the dub. The initial
fee for membership into the dub
is $25.00. We change the menu

said Mangano. "Two of our main

Mangano explained that dub
members cannot purchase liquor
at the dub. This is due to the fact
that* a liquor license is needed.
"Hopefully the availability of a li-
quor license will come through
within a year since it would be a
major profit maker for the dub,"
he said. "However, members are
more than welcome to bring their
own bottle and we can serve it to
them. Or, we can store liquor for
the members," added Mangano.

January 27 at 8:00 P.M. in Zum
Recital Hall.
Ginzburg was born in Moscow
in November of 1936. His open
opposition to the USSR govern-
ment's repressive politics resulted
in a total of nine years of im-
prisonment in Soviet labor camps.
In the late 1950's, Ginzburg
edited the first typewritten literary
journal, the Sintaxis which con-
tained poems by young Moscow
and Leningrad writers. Because of
his involvement with the Sintaxis,
Ginzburg was arrested in 1960 and
sentenced to two years of forced
labor. After his release, he was
forbidden to resume his studies in
journalism at Moscow University.
In 1966. Ginzburc came to in-
ternational attention when he was
arrested by the K.G.B. a second
time for compiling A White Book.
He was again found guilty and
sentenced to,five years of strict
regime labor camp.
Upon his release in 1972, Ginz-
burg and a friend created the
"Russian Social: Fund", which
aids Soviet prisoners and their
families. »
In 1976, Ginzburg expanded his
human rights activities by heading
research studies on Soviet human
lights violations. These studies
revealed living conditions in
Soviet prisons and labor camps.
In 1977, the K.G.B. could no
longer tolerate Ginzburg's human
rights activities, and he was again
arrested. His third trial began,

tional celebrity. Despite, protests

First In A Series
President Lanzillo
Assesses StudenfGovemment
By Caria J. Anderson
MERC1AD
Assistant Editor
Richard Lanzillo, president of
the Mercyhurst Student Govern-
ment, was recently interviewed by
The MERCIAD. The following is
thefirstof a two-part series of his
views and assessments of student
government this year and last
year. * quality of student govermment
Q. What is your assessment of
student governemnt this year?
I would say it's done basically
what we set out to do in the begin-
ning of the year, specifically to
improve our committee system,
update our services and increase
our visiblity. .We also improved
the Shuttle Service by having shut-
tles to the mall and football
games. Those were our general
goals.
I would say that we've felt it has
worked!reasonably well so far.
We've got a long way to go. But,
for being in the middle of the
year, the government has done ex-
actly what I intended it to do.
Q. Are you pleased with the in-
put you receive from represen-
tatives in student government?
That has improved year to year
I think. This year is no exception.
It has gotten a little better than the
year before. In terms of reps being
in touch with their constituencies,
I think that has improved quite a
bit. i K \ I keep the government on the sub- mend someone other than a facul-
It was not an earth-shaking
thing giving department reps the
right to attend their department
meetings. It was an'important
step, because it helps the represen-
tatives to identify with their con-
stituencies. They are elected by a
group of people and they should
at least have a general knowledge
of the concerns that face their
constituencies. * troversy that has been created by completed, one of them ended up
In terms of the officers, that
has improved also. I've given a lot
of thought to better ways to keep
