^Erie Bal let Theatre's New Works

last weekend in the i PAC was a
huge success. With audience turn-

Theatre will be able to present New
Works Showcase in the Perform-

season.
On Thursday Feb. 19 at 7 pjn f ,
the Choreography I class of the
Mercyhurst College Dance De-
partment will present "No Boun-
daries: An Eclectic Celebration of
Dance," in the danceSpace studio
A located in Zurn Hall. "No Bound-
aries" is unique among the other
performances this season because
it is fully produced by students.
This studio performance gives the
dancers involved an opportunity to
organize a production.
Besides being student produced,
there are more than 10 new works
being presented. The choreogra-

these young choreographers pre-
sent their innovative works,"
Catherine Schaeffer, instructor of
the Choreography I class, said.

"No Boundaries' has evolved
into a very eclectic production. No
two pieces are alike. The choreog-
raphy ranges from lyrical to se-
ductive jazz pieces. The musical
choices range from Andrew Lloyd
Weber to Branford Maxsalis and
Tori Amos. There is something for
everyone. Each one of us created a
piece from our inner emotions, and
therefore each piece is vastly dif-
ferent," said Mary White, a sopho-
more choreographer.
The performance is free to the
public and will be followed by a
reception.

Caffeinated Parasols
By Marcia Farrell
Merciad Columnist
For all of die underclassmen who
are by chance perusing this article,
I want to tell you a story. Any
seniors may possibly relate to the
tale I shall tell. Humor me, and
picture this: *
After the horrid midterm period
of Winter Term,a.k.& Senior Hell
Term, under the cold umbrella of
an uncharacteristically temperate
February sky, a senior in college
is finally taking a millisecond
long breath of relief over the real-
ization that there are only a few
more weeks left until spring break.
Opening her mailbox, the senior
nearly has a heart attack as she
extracts an envelope with the
Mercy hurst emblem. Upon ex-
amination of the contents of the
e n velope, the senior goes into con-
vulsions as she flips through a
large stack of papers directly
from the Registrar's office con-
cerning graduation.^
Oh — the story does not end
;
here. About a week 6r two later,
the senior chances to check her
mail again, only to find that gra-
duation information has .been
placed in a large white Mercy hurst
envelope in her box with hotel
and scheduling information. Only
^now does the senior realize the
true meaning of SENIOR HELL
TERM!
I want to assure everyone that it
is terrifying to realize that in just
over a term all of the seniors will
be thrust into the world. Granted,
I have been* told that If "have
nothing to worry about" because
I am simply "going back to
school," but permit me to dispel
this myth of safety in Graduate
School. For those of us going on
for even more schooling after
Mercy world — life will not con-
tinue as it has in our college
years. We may not be working
typical jobs after May 24th, but
grad school IS part of the rest of
our lives. In other words, we soon -
to-be-grad students have just us
much right to be terrified as the
rest of the graduates.
Beyond that, as I have been
thrown into the reality of impend-
ing adulthood, I have begun to
-
wonder about how ready aily of us

as sagas and what-not plague our
everyday lives. So, I ask, how is
that supposed to help us prepare
for the real world? Those who have
finished with school and are in-
grained in the professional world

sides, I highly doubt that anyone
would be proud to teii an inter-
viewer, "Yeah, well, uh, I know
howta gossip real good." (Or, for

throughout our college years —

ing as baby freshmen, most of us
believed that we knew enough
about life to schmooze with the

that we were "beyond being fresh-
men," continually telling our-
selves that we were mature, confi-
dent, intelligent and ready to
handle everything. *As sopho-

to assert ourselves as young men
and women as, some of us, tear-

:
As I look back, I realize that
amidst all of the traumas and
mundane segments that seemed to
mirror a soap opera, true growing
took place. Somewhere most of us
were taught how to act diplomati-
cally, whether we were typing a
resume or dealing with our
friends. We were exposed to a
variety of cultural events that
raised our awareness such as
Women * s H i s tory Month and the
Lecture Series. Most of the people

basis are \ from numerous back-

all we learned seemed to be trivial
information, the point of a liberal
arts college is to provide us with
seemingly tri vial information.
The truth is that when we walk
across the stage of the Warner
Theater and receive our degrees
we are not the same people that we
were upon entering Mercy hurst. I
think that it is this change that has
terrified me so much as I am slow-
y inundated with graduation mail.
Somehow the typical struggles of
being a college student have im-
pacted us, and to leave the safety

hurst is terrifying and exciting at
the same time. Therefore, because

Lupfer Leaves Early for Position in Cleveland

By Chris Wloch
Editor-in-Chief
At the end of the winter term,
senior HR1M major Caroline
Lupfer will return to her home-
town of Cleveland to start a new
position as assistant housekeeping
manager at the Marriott Key Cen-
ter downtown. Lupfer, who is also
graduating with a minor in profes-
sional conventions management,
said that she enjoys all of the vari-
ous aspects of her major.
"I knew I wanted to be in the
hospitality industry since my
sophomore year in high school.
I've done just about everything
within this field and there* s noth-
ing I don't like about it," she said.
Lupfer overloaded classes in or-
der to graduate early. She is al-
ready done with the 200 hours of
service that are required of HRIM
majors. In the fall term, Lupfer
managed her senior dinner in the
Grotto Dining Room and worked
anywherefrom 10-20 hours a week
during the six weeks that it was
open. "I'm glad if s over. It was a
lot of work," she said.
According to Lupfer, die key to
getting things done when you have
an extremely busy schedule is to
make sure to take time for every-
thing. 'The most important thing
is to find a balance in life. And
don* t be afraid to ask for help when
you need i t "
Lupfer is a member of Eta Sigma
Delta, the HRIM honors society.
She also serves as president of the
Professional Conventions Ma-
nagement Association and trea-
surer of Hospitality Management
Association. Throughout the year,
HMA is involved in several acti-
vities including putting together
the survival kits for finals and
sponsoring a sleepover for pro-
spective students in the spring.
For the second year in a row,
Lupfer is serving as a student man-
ager at the Cafeteria She worked
there her freshman and sophomore
years as well. As part of her job,
Lupfer watches the door, super-
vises students during their shifts,
and bakes a couple of times a week.

Sister Dorothy Puts Catholic Values into Practice

By Chris Wloch
Editor-in-Chief
For many people, the gospel ac-
counts of the life of Jesus are in-
triguing stories about an excep-
tional person who lived long ago.
However, for some, like Sr. Dor-
othy Stoner, O.S.B., the scriptures
provide the impetus for an en-
gaged compassionate Christian
praxis.
Originally from Sharon, Pa.,
Stoner entered the Benedictine
Community a month before en-
rolling as an undergraduate at
Mercyhurst in 1966. After receiv-
ing a bachelor's degree in history,
she taught at Erie's Si. Benedict's
Academy, a school for girls which
closed a few years ago.
In 1977, S toner went to •semi-
nar) to prepare for ordination. She
earned a Master of Divinity from
Aquinas School of Theology and
served as a pastoral minister at St.
Luke's parish from 1981-95.
Stoner said that the Catholic
Church's unwillingness to ordain
women as priests has not preven-
ted women with a calling to the
ministry from becoming involved.
"Many of us are already minis-
tering. We may not have received
ordination from the institutional
church, but we've accepted a call-
ing from the people. Forme, that's
just as valid.
"Maybe some of the strength of
the resistance to ordaining women
indicates that changes are already
taking place. Authentic, lasting
change always happens from the
bottom up" she said.
In 1996, Stoner began a full time
position at Mercyhurst as a visit-
ing instructor ol religious studies.
She teaches a number of courses
including Religious Persons, Un-
derstanding Scripture and Catho-
lic Values.
"AH my life I've been involved
Sr. Dorothy Stoner
Photo: Jessica Russell
in studying and teaching theolo-
gy, particularly scripture. It's
from that base that I believe we
have a cal I to transform the world.
"K all I do is communicate the
need to learn facts and information
then I think I've failed as a teacher.
A big part of what I do is challeng-
ing students to see their connec-
tions, with all other people and
recognize die need to work to
change systems of violence and
oppression," she said.
During the past year, S toner has
been involved in the creation of
"The Blessing Place," a hospital-
ity area for prostitutes in down-
town Erie. "Our intent is to give
the women somewhere to go to get
warm and provide a place who
they are treated as human beings.
We're not trying to Convert' them,
we'rejust there to give them some-
one to talk to," she said.
Stoner said that her work at the
Blessing Place has led her to con-
sider the larger issues of legal ad-
vocacy and the need to transform
the attitudes and social structures
which allow prostitution to thrive.)
"We need to find ways of being
more present for these women.
such as going to the courtroom.
and also raising questions of pub-
I ic policy and human ri ghts i n con -
nectionwithprostitution/'shesaid.
At the present time, Stoner is
also helping collect signatures for
booklets commemorating the 50th
anniversary of the Universal Dec-
laration of Human Rights later
this year.
Stoner has also extended an open
invitation to the college commu-
ni ty for a vigil foi peace to be held
at the Federal Building on 6th and
State on Friday, Feb. 13 from 11
a.m. to 9 p.m. The event is being
held to pray for peace and explore
nonviolent resolutions to the si-
tuation in Iraq. Fliers will be dis-
tributed at the vigil with factual
information on the effects of previ -
ous U.S. attacks on innocent Iraqi
children, women and men. "We're
not trying to make Hussein seem
right, we're just pointing out that
there are other options besides
bombing and violence," she said.

Men's B-Ball Defeated by G a n n o n in Dying
By Todd Zielinski
Sports Writer
In front of a sold out Mercyhurst
Athletic Center, which was mostly
made up of Gannon fans, the Lak-
ers were defeated by the Gannon
Knights in the last seconds of the
game, on Monday night.
The 71-63 loss for the Lakers
meant (a season sweep by the
Golden Knights as well as first
place in the GLIAC division.
Mercy hurst now at 13-9, will get
ready to host Wayne State on
Thursday before they take to the
road for the remaining three
games of the season.
Strategy for the Lakers was cen-
tered on Gannon's Troy Nesmith
who currently leads the confer-
ence in scoring with an average of
23.2 points a game. At their Janu-
ary 13th meeting at the' Ham—
mermill center downtown,
Nesmith was on fire, scoring 34
points while putting on a flawless
performance at the free throw line,
hitting 15 out of 16 attempts.
On the other side of the court
was a Gannon team whose shoot-
ing percentage had been held to
