    VO L. XLV N O . 19 MERCYHURST COLLEGE FEBRUARY i(16, 1973BREAKAWAYby Pau l Hanes

    The other day after watching"Your A Good J Man CharlieBrown,1' a musical Broadway^production, on T.V., if saw |a^commercial that gave me atremendous insight into life. Itwas a Hallmark greeting! cardcommercial in which they wereadvertising their Valentine's DayCards. A group of young childrenf;were sitting around actabletalking about the type of cardthey would like to receive, what itshould have on it, and how manyboyfriends and girlfriends theyhad etc. One child mentioned theword love and some of thechildren laughed at him. Thisreminded me of my experiencesof everyday life. It reminded meof* the interactions I see peoplehaving daily with each other.When anyone speaks of love,sharing, understanding or givingthey find words hard to say andhard to come by. They are afraidof being laughed at or they knowso little about themselves andothers that it is hard to find words

    that are meant to convey feelingand emotion to others. ThomasCarlyle|once wrote, fli JesusChrist were to come today,people wouldf not crucify him.Theyi would ask him to dinner,and hear what he had to say, andmake fun of it. " | l don't thinkCarlyle ever watched theHallmark commercial but whatfhe says-, seems to be true. /Thinksabout it. Everything we do seemsto be directed toward our?ownpersonal selfish gain. And whenanybody talks about giving or sharing or loving, as Christ did,others ridicule him. To illustrate Jhow| many of fyou-j reallytalk about or do something about

    loving, giving, sharing or | understanding on a really deep andpersonal one to one basis, whileat a beer blast, a dance or aparty. Those; of you who don'tneed to breakaway from J yourown selfishness and experience atrue loving Christian community.Those of you who do need to shareItyour feelings with others. \ |

    Ail oi you come and breakaw aywith us at Dunkirk, New York, onFebruary 23-25 on the CampusMinistries Breakaway^Weekend.Experience a Christian emotionalhigh that may change the wayyou relate to others. Brothers andsisters, come and experience aman who is the focus of controversy, the rallying point ofunity, the-object of love, thesubject of debate, a basis for hopeand the goal of lives. No one interested in the meaning of life andits ultimate questions can ignorehim. Travel with him and trusthim. To travel with him you mustgive up your "Linus" blankets,your pride, your selfishness andyour comfort. Come and changeyour heart. Repent with us . Beborn again and become aschildren with us^ Die to yourself.And if what this man, JesusChrist, demands is too difficultJor you, in what can you find hope.Come along with us and may youleave our weekend in Dunkirkwith a b etter understanding of thepeople around you, alwayscarrying peace and love in yourheart. *

    Hurst HoagieHut

    by Cathy StevesonNews Ed i tor / X

    I When the midnight munchieshit and you're too tired to travelto Barbatos it's nice to know thathoagies are just within our reach.I Bill Chatenka, Jr. and JackRoth, Jr., v both residents ofMcAuley Hall have establishedthe 'Hurst Hoagie Hut.'For a measly 60 cents, a hoagiewill be sold and delivered to yourhungry little lips. Deliveries areoffered to all Mercyhurststudents whether they be dorm,townhouse or apartmentdwellers. . \ f \ And while you are at it, why notorder a can of soda, or severalother munchie foods. Bill andJack who are headquartered atMcAuley kitchen offer everyth ingfrom ho agies to cheese popcorn.The 'Hurst Hoagie Hut is ap-proximately four weeks old and isopen Sunday through ^Thursdayfrom7p.m. to la.m. i J-& JThe hoagie business started outsmall but has expanded to thepoint where Bill and Jack sell anaverage of 50* hoagiesi a | nightalong with two cases of soda . 3

    Business is doing so well thatBill and Jack pay employees towork for them. "Tuesday nightswe never work, we pay someoneto work for us." 1Bill, who works five days aweek at Arby's, makes moremoney selling hoagies then hedoes inhis weekly paycheck. ? f | jWorking in conjunction withlocal suppliers, the two enterprising students have freshproduce and rolls delivered dailyto McAuley Hall. They have alsoworked out discount rates withthe Super Saver supermarket forsuch articles as potato chips andpretzels. I Since McAuley facilities arefree, all that bill and Jac k ha ve toworry about is providing food totheir customers, and of coursethinking of different ways toexpand their business. The latestexpansion is the addition of themeatball hoagie, ; v T iSo remember friends, thatnumber is 864-0681.1 m only sorryI didn't think of it first.

    OTHEMFEMALE PARTrj

    / B u t t e r f l i e s A r e F r e epleased in getting it. $Kathleen has taken dancelessons since she was little, andthis is what first got her interested in the arts. In highschool, she was in plays andrealized she enjoyed the experience and that she had a greatdeal of success. Since Kathleenwas going to college, she decidedto do something she liked, so shedecided on drama. She doesn'tmind going to rehearsals andlikes the idea of what is requiredof her because it is something shewants to do. E

    K a t h l e e n | Z a n g r i l liMrs. Baker, Don's overprotective mother in "Butterflies

    are Free" is being played byKathleen Zangrill i. She is asophomore drama major fromPittsburgh. She wasn't sure shewas going to get the part untilafter the call b acks, but was very

    This summer Kathleen wasgoing to stay at school, but instead is going to get a job to makea little money. After graduatingfrom Mercyhurst, first on her listto do is get married. Then shewould like to get a job in a highschooL working with danceclasses and some type of theat re.If thisS doesn't work out, or inaddition to this, depending on herfamily J she would Uke to do somework in community theatre. What

    ever w orks out she will definitelystay close to theatre.Kathleen was last seen in"Dark of the Moon'' and hasworked back stage in othertheatre a rts productions. With orwithout time on stage, she feelsall the work is important for it isrewarding to see how everythingfalls into place. Especially with"Butterflies are Free'', whichhas a small cast and is a tightplay. You can see something newhappen every night. ::Kathleen's main objective nowis to accomplish something with"Butterfl ies." The humorousmother she plays is one thatmany people can relate to. She isa real person that loves her son,but many viewers will have anegative feeling toward her.Kathleens wants people to sympathize and understand Mrs.Baker and maybe some how theycan relate this to their own lives.It has alot that-is funny andserious to say about parent-eh ildrelations, and the love that is overmissed.

    The Lakers, still sniffing "at abid for the District 18 playoffs,defeated Wheeling last Sundayand upped their season record to14-6. Playing their finest game ofthe year, the Lakers rolled overthe Cardinals 72-55, and no w havea better than average chance ofobtaining their dream . |Curtis Hixon was interviewedon Monday by this writer. Curtisis a transfer from Paducah,Kentucky. He is serving as theofficial bookkeeper and preacherfor the Lakers.Following is the text of theinterview:Merciad: Curtis, what is yourpresent impression of theLakers? Are we going to get aDistrict 18 bid? 1Hixon: This was the first gamew e looked like we should. Thisis the first strong team wereally blew out of the g y m . We

    looked like a team for the firsttime in a long time. With theother teams in the Districtloosing, |and us winning, Ithink w e should get a bid.Merciad :fWhat do you think ourchances would be of winningthe D istrict 18 title? iHixon: I think w e could beat bothClarion and Slippery Rock ifwe could play the way we didj$ against Wheeling. fBased on the chart below, Iwould have to agree with Curtis.Our chances for a bid seemreasonable, butjthe Lakers can'ts lack off.

    FEASIBLETransportationImproved BIt is much easier to talk aboutBalanced Transportation toresidents of Toronto, WesternEurope or Japan than it is todiscussbr> the subject withAmericans, simply ibecauseBalanced T ransportation does notexist here. Heavy density I railrapid transit and frequent busservice are available to themajority of the world's people-with the fexception of our owncountry. In pother words,America, which is said to be themost modern and richest countryin the world, has a mass publictransportation network morebackward than most third worldnations, not to mention the moreindustrialized states. Whetheryo u ar e young or o l d , rich or poor,a good driver or not, you belterhave a c ar if you want to survive.The result of this imbalance hasbeen soaring air pollution levels

    (autos account for 60 per cent inurban area s), nightmarish trafficjams, a rapidly dwindling supplyof domestic petroleum reserves,urban sprawl, and large amountsof urban land'paved over forexpressways J and huge parkinglots. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation in conjunction with the FederalGovernment allocates some $56million each year to mass transitin Pennsylvania. This is in contrast to the over $1 billion forhighways administered annually.This is PennDOT's "balanced

    transportation program. If youhave been | folio wing fthe localnews, you! must have heardPennDOT and the greater ErieChamber of Commerce talking alot about new-highways:the 1-79extension to f 12th Street, theBayfront Highway, the East SideSpar, the W ater Street Extension,and S th e J Southern TierExpressway. In all this activity,however, no mention has beenmade of any improvement tomass transit in our county, whichat present is usable for only alimited number of ^persons, andthen not at all times of the week,aamely off-peak hours, withMercyhurst itself a perfectexa mp le. The 31-mile- expressway .network will furtherupset an imbalanced* transportation setup by stimulatingtraffic on access roads, andraising air and noise pollutionlevels. I am not so foolish as topropose the elimination of theautomobile, f although 70European cities have done this oncon ested downtown str eets. Whycan't* this money allocated forexpressways be used to repairour miserable roads? Everyoneknows what potholes andgenerally bad pavement can do tothe life expectancy of a new car.Shouldn't a massivej secondaryroad rehabilitation program beErie County's Jfirst priority,before a n y n e w roads are built?

    Secondly, why are no specialprivate bus lanes being plannedfor on these new expressways?Why should EMTA buses bebogged down in traffic which theyare attempting to alleviate ? %Finally, and ! most importantwhat will w e d o about the miles ofvirtually idle rail right of way inour county? It is these corridorswhich provide the key to trulyBalanced Transportation for ourcity. The most important right ofway is the mainline east-westPerm Central route, which? h a sseen the removal of tw o main line.tracks aniintersects the airport,Fairview.s Lake City, PeninsulaDrive, Downtown Erie and theUnion Depot, Franklin Terrace,middle Parade Street, GeneralElectric, Wesleyville, LawrencePark, Harborcreek, and s o o n . Anecologically sound, electric railright of way could cut trave l timein half because it would not haveto cope with traffic, and would
