1 *Campus activity to increase as MSG - SAC uniteBy Theresa HewittMcrciad Staff Reporter

Among the recent developments in theStudent Activity Committee is the incorpo-ration of the weekly SAC meeting withMercyhurst Student Government m eetings,held every Sunday at 7:00 p.m. in Zurn 114.The objective of this move is to * 'reu-nite" the two branches of student govern-ment, according to SAC Chairperson GerryFanta. "The" move is another step*in thedirection of decreasing student apathy/' hesaid.The oin t e f fort w i1V'g veeach organ iza-tion more strength," Fanta said. MSG andSAC were always part of the same organiza-tion ; they only operated separately. Nowthatthey have again been joined together, activi-ties on campus should run more smoothly.With the added creativity and support of theMSG Representatives, SAC will be able toprovide better andmore successfulentertain-ment on campus.Other changes in SAC h ave occurred inthe past few weeks are the resignation of twoSACofficers. Jason Pagni, former SACvicepresident, resigned on Jan. 12|for undis-closed personal reasons. Kelly Laverty, thensecretary of the C ommittee, was promoted tovice president, and Lane Tomaski, an activemember of SAC, was appointed to the va-cated position o f secretary. Tomaski's nomi-nation, suggested by Gerry Fanta, was ap-proved by the MSG Executive Committee.The position of vice president becamevacant again in just over a week. OnJan. 21 ,Laverty announced her resignation of theposition, also for unpublicized reasons.Senior Business-Marketing major KevinWood was named to the position on Jan.22.Wood's experience, says Fanta, should beuseful in future SAC activities. IGerry Fanta would like to stress the factthat "even though there are a few problemsnow, SAC is still a credible and productiveorganization." H e assures students that thenew changes in officers will in no wayadversely effect the Committee's perform-ance in providing activities for thecMcr-cyhurst College community.

To prove his point, Fanta has announcedactivities being \planned for this weekend.SAC will provide shuttles to the Hockeygarnet Sat, Jan. 27., played in Meadville

Vans will leave Baldwin Hall at 12:30p.m. and should return sometime in the after-noon. | The important event this weekend, Fantastresses, is the Club MTV Dance, scheduledfor Saturday at the tennis courts.

My greatest trial so far this yearhas been the * Laker River'' at thebottom of the Mercyhurst Hill fac-ing East 38th Street This "LakerRiver'' occurs every time it rains orthe temperature rises above!32degrees. It is a rather lengthy riverflowing from the pedestrian cross-walk on 38th to the guardhouse atthe gates.

In the thirdperiod Mercyhurst applied tremen-dous pressure on the opposing goal-tender, whoito his credit, playedbrilliantly. Scott Burfoot thenstepped up and slotted one home tolessen the deficit to a solitary goal.With only four minutesjleft in thethird period the game still lookedlike going Kent State's way, how-ever Mick Keen latched onto thepuck with 3:12 left, rounded a d e-fender not used to greased lightning,andfired t home.pHead Coach Rick* Gotkinsaid,''the guys showed a lotof char-acter and a lot of guts.
