In?the middle of Thursdayafternoon, the idea of taking atheatte poll of the Mercyhurst*Campus hit me withjlightning force. f fSo I set out with pen and padin hand to find o ut how many^people actually go to theMercyhurst! Little Theatre ;|why or why not they go; if thefree admission made a difference and did they see 1776.Considering my scepticismconcerning the Mercyhurstcommunity to theatre, | myfindings were remarkablygood.Of the fifty freshmen,sophomores, juniors andseniors I questioned, 19 freshmen have^ seen one play(I776),flo|sophomores haveseen three plays, 15 juniorsphave seen five shows and fiveseniors have seen zero to oneplay, since they've been here.As for why the students^attend the Little Theatre,most t people stated, "Forenjoyment, entertainment, anight out." I |I* was especially pleasedwith the I following quotesfrom 'Hurst students, iMarianne Dolan, freshman,^.stated, "I go to the theatre to?be aware of the talent in ourschool." "7 "?David Pallotta, freshman,stated, "I enjoyed the castmembers in 1776 sinceltheygave their all, I; for a goodproduction."

Pat Short, junior, said, "Ilike the*plays here. They'rewe ll: organized and wellselected.

Among theseconditions was the lack of heat in numerous roomsand the lack of action by interested ad ministrators toour grievances.
