Senate passes
welfare bill
I With an 87-12 vote, the GOP
and middle-of-the-road Democrats
reversed over sixty years of social
reform policy. Under this bill, the
federal government's responsibility
towards the poor is erased.
However, Democrats still managed
to add more money for child bare,;
In the House, the more
[conservative bill would not allow
legal immigrants to receive welfare.
A. subsistence income to fatherless
families guaranteed by the
overnment would be abolished.
4.7 million families and 9
illion children will be stranded, if

Newspapers
to publish
Unabomber's
manifesto I
fAfter months of debate, The
New York Times and The
Washington Post have decided to
print the Unabomber's 35,000 word
manifesto.
Blamed for killing three
people and injuring 23 others over a
span of 17 years, the Unabomber
said that if one newspaper would
publish his manifesto, he would stop
sending bombs in the mail.
With the encouragement of
Attorney General Janet Reno and
FBI Director Louis Freeh, the two
newspapers finally came to the
conclusion that the public safety
issue took precedence over
journalistic reasons.
f Did the Post and the Times
give up their journalistic
independence by allowing a terrorist
to publicize his views? *

MSG savors student activities' success
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ! By Carly E. Simon
Merciad News Editor
I From pizza delivery problems to the
adjustment to a fresh crop of new faces, the
Mercyhurst Student Government has found itself
with its hands full. The MSG's main mission is
to fill its vacant spots. Letters of intent will be
taken until Tuesday, Sept 26 for the following
representative positions: six freshmen, two
commuters, two residents and two juniors.
b On the September 11 meeting, the Student
Activities Committee chairman Brian Marshall
reported that their first week's activities proved to
be successful. Over 100 students showed up to
watch Circle of Friends. Students also
transformed into stars on last Friday night, when
they participated in Starstruck Videos in the Rec
Center.
* * "The outdoor picnic was forced to move
indoors due to bad weather," Marshall said.
SAC has purchased a sign maker and a
laminator for all students to use. At the
September 18 MSG meeting, the sign maker's
price was set at two dollars. Appointments to
utilize the machines can be made by calling 2463.
Vice president Tim Duble has already
completed the lecture series schedule.
Throughout the year, speakers, such as the
Cleveland Indians physical therapist, will
motivate and educate the community.
A motion was passed to override the
constitution and move up the freshman elections
to October 3 and 4. Campaigning was also
shortened from two weeks to one week.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * For the first time, a class will be allowed
to set up a time capsule that spans four years.
Completed plans call fonconverting the present
Zurn RecitaI*Hall into a 900-seat auditorium,
with 640 seats on the main level and 250 seats in
the balcony, including six private boxes.
Starting off her presentation on a somber
note, MSG president Jessica Cuffia said, "Bob
Baldwin, who was on our Board of Trustees,
passed away this summer. We sent flowers.
Also, Jim McKeever passed away this summer.
We sent him balloons before his death and daisies
which were his favorite flowers."
In memory of McKeever, a golf
tournament will be held in his name. The MSG
has tabled a discussion concerning the amount of
money they will donate.
Other issues which have been thrown on
the debate floor are: purchasing jackets for
representatives and having a study day before
finals. The latter issue, if approved, would not be
implemented until the winter and spring term.
The facilities committee wants to obtain
more sand for the volleyball courts. Also, they
are looking into moving the ice hockey skate
lockers from the student union to the ice rink.
During both MSG meetings, parking
problems were addressed. The Drug and Alcohol
Awareness Committee is investigating the |
possible purchase of an ash can for Garvey Park.
. MSG voted to fund ECCO's gas money
for its trip to Harmony House.
This upcoming week's events include
River Wild at 9 p.m. in the Grotto on Thursday;
Homecoming nominations from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.
in the union, and a pep rally at 7 p.m. in Garvey
Park, both on Friday; and a tailgate party at 11:30
a.m. and a dance at 8:30 p.m. in the union, both
on Saturday.
