Graduate prospects trending upward By Nathan Turner News editor
Graduate surveys evaluating employment or placement into graduate programs from the classes of 2013 and 2014, as well as an increase in companies presenting at career fairs around northwest Pennsylvania, show hopeful signs for undergraduate students. The fields of study boasting the highest placement rates for the class of 2014 include Criminal Justice, Biology and Psychology, all showing placement rates of 100 percent. Majors such as Hospitality Management, Early Childhood and Special Education and Intelligence Studies show placement rates of between 95 and 87 percent, respectively. Surveys from the class of 2013 show similar numbers for Criminal Justice, Intelligence Studies and Hospitality Management.

“It’s fairly stable over the years,” said Director of Assessment Amy Danzer. “Some of the majors, they change the number of people who are enrolled over time and how many graduate over time, but it doesn’t change that quickly.” New majors such as Public Health, take time to build up, Danzer said. New programs take time to become established and fine tune their curriculums and practices, in order to attract potential students to attend the university. “I liken it to trying to hit a baseball for the first time. When you were a kid, you weren’t all that good, but you practice a bit and then you get much better at it. So you go and work out the kinks for the first couple of years, and then you have people who can go and talk about it more,” Danzer said. In addition to a steady number of students who are able to find employment or
continue their education, an upturn in the number of companies making appearances at career fairs at Mercyhurst, as well as Penn State Behrend, is a good sign for students, according to Frank Rizzone, Director of Career Services. “The fact that the last couple of years at the career fair, attendance by companies has been down, and it’s starting to ease up, last year it was like 88 companies, and this year we had 103 registered to come. That’s telling me that things are improving,” Rizzone said. Erie has been an area that experiences the effects of economic fluctuations more slowly than the rest of the nation, according to Rizzone. “Historically, Erie has always been slower to feel the effects of any economic slowdown, and consequently, it’s also slower at showing signs of recovery once things are happening,” Rizzone said.
The numbers of companies which are looking to hire is increasing and unemployment has dropped since January 2014. Statistics from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry show that unemployment has dropped from 6.3 percent to 5.1 percent between January 2014 and January 2015. Recruitment events in other areas of Pennsylvania are showing increased signs of companies looking for employees, Rizzone said. “The WesPacs Job Fair, which is down in Monroeville, we belong to that consortium, their attendance from companies was way up. They were astounded by the numbers of companies showing up. So that’s telling me that it’s not just in Erie, but across Pennsylvania, that we’re starting to see some improvement,” Rizzone said. @TheMerciad
Carolyn Hermann Student Union will be converted into a swimming pool for the 2015-2016 school year. Mercyhurst officials have announced that due to the unsalvageable conditions left by a broken water pipe that flooded the student union on Feb. 21, the lower level area will be transformed into swimming pool for students’ recreational use and sporting events. Joan Bennet, a representative of the Mercyhurst Public Information Department, released a statement which said that repairing the Student Union and bringing it back to its original state would be too costly for the university. As an alternative, the administration decided to turn the Union into a swimming pool and move the Laker Inn dining service onto the second floor. “We spoke with insurance and we contacted various contractors about the issue,” said Bennet. “It was all bad news. The damages were in the millions and the time to repair it would take too long. We had no choice but to eliminate the idea of ever again restoring the Student Union to its original state.” Ann Rutherford, a civil engineer from the Garbo Construction Co. of Erie, was the first to propose the idea of building a swimming pool instead of trying to repair the Laker Inn to its pre-flood state. Rutherford, who has prior experience in building pools, assessed the damages done to the lower level of the union and concluded that building a swimming pool would be a very viable option. “In my 20 years as an engineer I have never seen something like this. The moment I saw the flooded building, I knew there was not a lot of potential to save the building. The Student Union was a swimming pool waiting to happen,” Rutherford said. The administration was reluctant to invest in a swimming pool. However, once Rutherford showed the cost of building one instead of repairing the union, they agreed to advance with the construction. “Of course, when I proposed this idea they thought I was joking, but after show-
ing the empirical information and the numbers that supported my claim, the Mercyhurst officials started taking my suggestion seriously,” Rutherford said. Without many other options available, the Mercyhurst administration took the swimming pool option into serious consideration and eventually decided it was the best option for the Mercyhurst community. “I know it sounds crazy, but we believe this is the best option at hand. The Laker Inn will survive, when we move it to the second floor, so students will still have their food, but now they also have another source of recreation,” Bennet said. A group that will specially benefit will be the Mercyhurst water polo team who will now be able to stay and practice at Mercyhurst Main campus instead of driving to the North East Campus to practice. The Archaeology Department hopes to practice underwater digs in the pool. “The possibilities for its use are endless. New RSCOs will surge and various new student activities will be organized now that we have a swimming pool,” Bennet said. Junior Communications major Ryan Deadpool, believes this is the best thing to happen to Mercyhurst in a long time. In high school, Deadpool spent a lot of his time swimming both competitively and for recreation. Since coming to Mercyhurst he had to stop, because he no longer had a pool in close proximity and could not continue. He said that he hopes that the new pool will help him rediscover his old passion. “They used to call me the Ryan the Merman back in high school, because of how much time I would spend swimming. I am planning to recover that name,” said Deadpool. “This pool was the missing link for Mercyhurst. I feel like our school is now complete.” Senior General Studies major April Fool couldn’t believe that the pool was being installed. “You must be kidding me,” Fool said.

Physician Assistant Masters to begin June 1 By Nathan Turner News editor
Mercyhurst will begin its first cohort of 20 Physician Assistant Masters students on June 1. Physician Assistant Studies Program Director Catherine Gillespie, DHSc, said the program will be the first two-year graduate program for this field in the region. It is designed to cater to students who have field experience under their belts. “We’re really the only graduate program in our region. You’d have to go to Buffalo, Pittsburgh or Cleveland to get a true graduate program,” said Gillespie. “Certainly students that are here at our university, they could be Public Health students, they could be Sports Medicine, Bio, and can come to us.” The program is part of the
School of Health Professions and Public Health, and is part of a network of programs which involve both the North East and Erie campuses. The school is the first of its kind at the university, encompassing programs from both campuses at the associate, baccalaureate and graduate levels, focused on a single theme, according David Hyland, Ph.D, Associate Dean of the School of Health Professions and Public Health. “Previously, it’s been done by degree, essentially. So associate degree stuff, that was separate. Baccalaureate degree stuff, that was separate. Graduate degree programs, those were separate. And now with the health school, we’re kind making somewhat of a continuum, from the associate programs, to the baccalaureate, to the Master’s level,” Hyland said.
MSG Report 3-30 By Melanie Todd Staff writer
MSG voted to approve their 2015-2016 budget of $450,900.00. This is an increase from the $447,700.00 budget for this year. The upcoming budget increases club funding by $750 to $16,750 and $25,000 allotted for the newly established MAC. With the addition of the MAC Chair, Committee budgets decreased this year. Last year $3,000 was allotted to Committee projects and for the 2015-2016 year only $1,500 will be available. “This budget has been approved unanimously by the Budget and Finance Committee and the Executive,” said Treasurer AJ Zahuranec. An MSG majority approved the budget.
Senator TJ Lockhart said, “A number of students have complained about the dim lighting in the REC Center.” MSG will look into resolving this issue. “It’s not conducive to that type of activity,” Lockhart said. April 10 is the rescheduled “Are You Smarter Than a Professor?” event at 8 p.m. in Zurn 114. Other upcoming events include the annual Relay for Life event, taking place April 25. Spring Fest tickets for May 1 will be available starting at the Relay for Life event. Registration begins for the Senior Dinner Dance on April 7. All seniors must RSVP if they intend to go. Registration will open for guests on April 24 and will be $30.

The physician assistant field is growing. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has the field growing 38 percent between 2012 and 2022. The program began development in 2010, but is only beginning in June because the program had to be completely developed and accredited before moving forward, according to Gillespie. “The PA Program is really different from most of your traditional programs. We have to be officially accredited before we can move forward. And the accreditation process is pretty arduous. The average is estimated anywhere from 18 to 24 months to develop the program and then gain accreditation,” Gillespie said. The program gained its accreditation on March 23. It will host cohorts of students on an annual basis and lasts 24
months. The first 12 months of the program will be primarily devoted to classroom education and the second 12 months will be clinical education, according to Gillespie. “They’ll have nine clinical rotations. They’ll take rotations in family practice, women’s health, pediatrics, surgery, emergency medicine, mental health and two electives they can choose. And we have a fair amount of clinical affiliates within the region,” Gillespie said. Rotation locations vary. Students will be able to take rotations all over the country, according to Gillespie. “Because of where we sit in Erie, we’re kind of in that region of Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland. And that’s where we gain most of our sites. But if a student wanted to go to Alaska, I’ve got friends in Alaska. Stu-
dents might often want to do a rotation in the community that they want to work in. So we’ll probably have students do rotations, concentrated in the regional area, but if a student has a connection, wants to have an experience somewhere, we can work on that too,” Gillespie said. The five faculty members working in the program are active practitioners in the field, with a combined experience of 44 years in academia and PA education, and 111 years in healthcare, said Gillespie. “I’m a PA I’m not just an old lady who teaches. I work every Wednesday in a family practice office with Dr. Paul Holly who’s our medical director. And I work weekends in the emergency room at Hamot. So I still actively practice my craft and all of my faculty members do as well,” Gillespie said.
The School of Health Professions and Public Health is also helping to encourage cooperation and collaboration between the North East and Erie campuses. The cooperation at this point is primarily among the faculty, according to Hyland. “It wasn’t really part of our culture there for a while, and now with the health school, we’re trying to break some of those boundaries that have existed between Erie campus and North East campus. And it’s a little bit easier to do with the health programs, because we are doing very similar sorts of things,” Hyland said.

Admiral Laker’s Police Brief Admiral Laker apologizes for not publishing last week. He was busy bribing intelligence students with pizza. Mercyhurst was racked with crime this last week and Admiral Laker knows it has something to do with the lack of snow and the relative heat wave. Temperatures hit the 50s and all the baddies came out to play. Well Admiral Laker wants to issue the Mercyhurst community a stern warning: You better get ship shape fast. The first no-good-nik was pinched on East 40th Street in the wee hours of the morning on March 26 for trespassing. Admiral Laker got the call around 0250 and let him tell you, Mrs. Laker was not happy to be woken up by the sound of Admiral Laker re-doing his Velcro-laced shoes. In a sep-
arate incident on East 40th Street later that day, a student was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia on East 40th. It was fortunate in a way because Admiral Laker was able to pick up a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal Bar wrapper he had dropped earlier. Multiple students were cited for underage drinking in Warde Hall on March 27. The police log reads “Liquor Law Violations” which could either mean the PoPo made a TyPo or that the police are lazier than Admiral Laker thought with the crime log and simply didn’t want to write out all the individual offenses. In any event, the Mercyhurst community is worse off for it. East 40th Street had a rough week as a student

was cited for possession of a controlled substance and paraphernalia on March 27. The student was referred for discipline and told never again to eat Kix Cereal out of one of those bowls with the straw built in. They’re for kids, buddy, grow up. (Not the bowls, Admiral Laker has a dozen.) There was so much crime at Mercyhurst this week the Erie City Police had to get in on the action. Erie Police arrested a perp on March 28 and charged him/her charged with a liquor law violation, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and drug paraphernalia. Admiral Laker thinks the police are being a little redundant in the charges here: it seems like resisting arrest is inherently disorderly conduct. Also on March 28, a stu-
dent was cited for disorderly conduct on Lewis Avenue and was referred for discipline. Admiral Laker gets it: Duck Tales was a great show. It’s not coming back though, so learn to live with writing fan fiction. To cap off the weekly crime log, a student was cited for possession of a controlled substance in Warde Hall on March 29. Admiral Laker has already made two food references this week. He’ll Skippy a third.

Plenty for all at Annual Wellness Fair By Emani Burton Staff writer
Mercyhurst’s Campus Involvement Center hosted the eleventh annual Mercyhurst Wellness Fair Friday, March 27. The fair provided students with information and activities centered on health and wellness. The Wellness Fair drew more than 300 people to 20 health-centered educational stations set up in the Mercyhurst Athletic Center. Kristy Jamison, Leadership and Outreach Coordinator for the Campus Involvement Center, was an influence in this year’s organization of the Fair. “We want students to learn that there are different ways to take care of themselves and it’s not just going to the gym,” Jamison said. Participants in the Fair educated students on a range of healthy rituals, from nutritional alternatives, to exercise techniques, as well as mental and spiritual habits. “We want to address the whole spectrum of health needs,” Jamison said. Students were given a variety of information about health from several Mercyhurst departments, including Campus Ministry, which emphasized the importance of meditation in a student’s daily life. The Multicultural Center also offered tips about maintaining a healthy lifestyle, providing organic body scrubs and beauty supplies. The
Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) provided Army physical fitness challenges for students as well. “There has been so much help from a variety of departments, to name them would take all day” said Jamison. “They really make the fair what it is by offering interesting and informative stations.” Sports Medicine and Athletic Training departments played significant roles in running the activities featured at the Wellness Fair. Sports Medicine hosted a “Taste or Waist” food sampling station in which volunteers from the department cooked healthy alternatives to common comfort foods. Visitors were asked to determine which foods were healthier. Megan Marchese, a senior Exercise Science major, volunteered at the station during the Fair. “We want to promote changes in people from eating in an unhealthy way to eating healthier,” Marchese said. Marchese stressed the importance of eating responsibly. “It’s important that people cook their own food,” said Marchese. “A lot of studies are coming out about processed foods and the ingredients in them. Know what you’re putting in your body.” The Taste or Waist is a station that will return to the Fair next year. Visitors were given the opportunity to try the healthier alternative on their

Marketing department pictures Snapchat success By Darcie Kuchcinski Contributing writer
Two months ago a New Media class taught by Communication Professor Brian Sheridan suggested that Mercyhurst develop a presence on the photo messaging application Snapchat. Today, the Snapchat app is up and running and has reached over 600 followers after Chris Norris, director of Marketing and Caitlin Ewing, a Marketing team member, decided to undertake the task, launching the app Feb. 25. Their goal was to provide students with a chance to tell their own “campus story.” “One of the struggles early on was how to get
the message out there: that Mercyhurst now had a Snapchat” said Ewing. “We wanted Mercyhurst Snapchat to be synonymous with being a Mercyhurst student.” The Marketing Department launched its campaign by posting fliers around campus and on the tables in Egan and at the Hammermill Library, asking students to snap photos for the school’s Snapchat. Though the first week only produced 50 followers for the account, today with, the site’s 600-plus followers, it has accumulated numerous snaps and interactions from students. The app took off during the recent spring break, gathering Snapchat stories from student activities and service projects. “We want to showcase
our campus to prospective students and portray what the student life is like by the students,” said Norris. “Mercyhurst has always been on social media, but this is supposed to be a student-to-student project that promotes ‘Laker Pride’ through engagement and connection from current students.” Mercyhurst Snapchat has been implementing contests such as the “Best Snap of the Week” and creating themes to make snapping more appealing in order to engage with more students. Students are also encouraged to participate in “live snapping,” which will attempt to portray a more realistic viewpoint of life on campus. The app’s website states that it is “not a social media outlet
being used for marketing or recruiting,” but rather as a “storytelling tool.” However, not just any photo will make it onto the Mercyhurst Snapchat site. The Marketing team monitors content and views the photos before approving which ones will be posted in order to avoid a negative image for the University. “We want the snaps to reflect what’s fun about being a Laker. It’s a way to get to know our students a little better,” Norris said in an email to The Merciad. Kaleb Schwab, a senior Business Management major, appreciates the chance to view more stories from fellow students on the site. “I like that the school now has a Snapchat,” said Schwab.

Mercyhurst University’s Snapchat account reaches out to students to tell their campus stories and share positive experiences at the school.
“I like watching the stories and the Laker Showdown was very cool.” The Marketing team plans to incorporate more themes and activities into the app including additional contests and campus stories as
they continue forward.

Volunteers head to Second Harvest Student car crash victim on road to recovery By Kayley Dunn Staff writer
A study commissioned by Feeding America in 2014 showed that 82,000 people in Erie County are served annually by the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwestern Pennsylvania. The study found that 20 percent of those served by Second Harvest Food Bank in Erie County are 65 and older. As part of the University’s Mercy Week, Mercyhurst students and faculty traveled to Second Harvest Food Bank, March 18 to help out the cause and volunteer their time creating boxes of supplies to be sent to older citizens in the extended Erie community. The project, which took place in two shifts, one at 9 a.m. and one at 1 p.m., was one of several activities held on campus that attempted to highlight the mission of
the Sisters of Mercy, who sought to pursue social justice and service the the community. The Second Harvest Food Bank supplies organizations in 11 counties in Western Pennsylvania with food. Not to be mistaken with a food pantry, Second Harvest collects products from the food industry, food drives and distributes them to agencies, such as food pantries, soup kitchens or shelters which then distribute them on a large scale to individuals in need. Mercyhurst University Coordinator of Service Learning, Bethany Brun, who helped to organize the event, said that Second Harvest was the ideal service opportunity for Mercy Week. “It’s is a great organization that accepts large groups, so for me that was a natural fit,” Brun said. The care packages volunteers created, called “senior boxes,” are made up of
food and other essentials. Approximately 2,800 boxes are sent out on a monthly basis from the food bank. The senior boxes are part of a federally run program that provides qualifying elders to receive the box of supplies each month. “Usually [the people receiving the care packages] don’t make more than $1,200 dollars in a month and after taking out for Medicaid and paying for all of their essentials, they have around $600 left to eat,” Brun said. The Mercy Week project was a success, according to Brun. “We hit our goal for the afternoon group, and though we didn’t get as many for the morning group, we were able to work with another group of volunteers and do it anyway,” she said. Brun noted that one of her goals for the students and the staff members who volunteered for the proj-
ect was simply to introduce them to the Second Harvest Food Bank, in the hope that they would continue to volunteer there. “It’s a great organization and is something you can go back and continue to do,” Brun said. Brun encouraged students to sign up for more volunteer opportunities with the Service Learning, which will accommodate to the needs and schedules of students and provide transportation to certain volunteer locations. “It’s really easy to get involved with,” said Brun. “[Volunteer organizations] rely so much on volunteers and your time counts for so much when you go.”

After suffering from a car crash that left him with severe injuries in November, Mercyhurst Biology major Gungeet Bajwa is on his way to recovery, and recently had the chance to meet with the men and women who helped to save his life. Bajwa, driving back home to Seneca Falls, spent nearly three weeks in Intensive Care at Strong Memorial Hospital, and half of that time on a ventilator to help him breathe after his car skidded into two tractor-trailers on the State Thruway in Mendon, N.Y. this past Nov. 22. Now breathing and walking on his own, Bajwa got to
shake the hands of the First Responders to the scene of his crash, some of whom call his recovery a miracle. In an interview with the Brighton-Pittsford Post, Bajwa said he was grateful for the chance to reunite with and thank the responders. At the end of the reunion, Bajwa was given a ride with the Mercy Flight team who picked him up on the Thruway four months ago. Bajwa plans to return to Mercyhurst University in the fall to continue on in his studies.

Theatre ends season with ‘Clothes’ By Jose Nufio Staff writer
The Mercyhurst Theatre Program will conclude its 2014-2015 season with the production of Tennessee Williams’ “Clothes for a Summer Hotel.” Director Brett Johnson, Ph.D., invites audiences to experience the rare opportunity to enjoy one of Tennessee Williams’ last productions to appear on Broadway during his lifetime. The performances will be held at Taylor Little Theatre Thursday through Saturday, April 9-11, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, April 12, at 2 p.m. “Clothes for a Summer Hotel” dramatizes a fictional meeting between F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda at an Asylum called Highland Mental Hospital outside of Asheville, North Carolina. Fitzgerald has received word from doctors that his wife, who has been institutionalized and diagnosed with schizophrenia, has made fast improvements. He hops on the first plane from Hollywood, where he is working as a screenwriter, and goes to Asheville to visit her and finds out that she has, in fact, not been making any improvements as the doctors stated. In this meeting between husband and wife, there are a series of flashbacks where the audience gains an insight into
their plight. The audience discovers the ways in which Scott stifled Zelda’s creativity by refusing her to publish “Save Me the Waltz” until his “Tender is the Night” had been published. The storyline suggests that it was because of the extent to which Zelda was repressed by Scott that contributed to her madness. In these flashbacks, the audience also meets an aviator named Edouard with whom Zelda allegedly had an affair. Audiences also meet the Hemingways, the Murphys, Mrs. Patrick Campbell and all those other members of the “lost generation” whom the Fitzgeralds rubbed elbows during the 20th century. Johnson, who has directed three other Tennessee Williams plays during his career, said Williams is one of his research interests and a personal passion. After teaching a Tennessee Williams seminar this semester and having recently welcomed Elizabeth Ashley to campus, who is best known for her interpretations of Tennessee Williams’ characters, it was only natural for him to produce a Tennessee Williams play this semester. “Part of my mission is to introduce audiences to those lesser-known works,” said Johnson. “‘Clothes for a Summer Hotel” is so rarely produced and I think it’s a better play than people give it credit for.”

The Theatre Program is performing the Tennessee Williams’ classic “Clothes For a Summer Hotel” as the ending performance of their 2014-2015 season. The perfomance will run April 9 through April 12.
When the play was first released on Broadway in 1980, it was greatly dismissed by both critics and audiences. According to Johnson, the director at that time did not make the right decisions to make the play successful and the script was not in its final form, along with many other elements that ultimately made the production a flop. Williams later revised the play and published a final version, which is the one being used for this production. Johnson describes the play as a haunting project that has challenged all those involved
in its production. “I said to the cast, ‘I want you all to realize how fortunate you are to be able to say these words on this stage. I hope you get to do another Tennessee Williams’ play in your career as actors, but I doubt you’ll have an opportunity to do this one,’” said Johnson “Is it his best work? No, but even second rate Tennessee Williams is better than other playwrights’ best. I think it’s a better play than people have given it credit for.” He invites audiences to come watch the play, because
they would have a hard time finding a production like this one again. “I would guess that at some point of one’s life you could probably see a production of “A Street Car Named Desire” or “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” but you’d be hard-pressed to find a production of “Clothes for a Summer Hotel,’” said Johnson. “I think that it deals with some interesting topics that would resonate with contemporary audiences. I think it’s funny, I think it’s powerful, I think it’s upsetting at points. I think that it’s pretty much
everything you could ask for when you go to the theater.” To reserve your tickets today, call 814-824-3000 or by visiting the box office, located in the lobby of the Mary D’Angelo Performing Arts Center. Tickets will also be on sale at the theatre, beginning one hour before curtain. Doors open 30 minutes prior to curtain.

PAC to welcome Chris Brubeck’s ‘Triple Play’ By Naomi Greenstein Staff writer
This Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the Mary D’Angelo Performing Arts Center, musician Chris Brubeck will take center stage with his group, “Triple Play,” and lead them in an epic sojourn through American music. Brubeck’s group, which will grace the PAC stage six years since Brubeck’s own father did, is unlike any other band on the scene. As part of the performance, they will be discussing their performances with Dave Brubeck through the years. Chris Brubeck first entered the music scene as an innovative rock and jazz musician, before eventually recording and performing with his father, musician Dave Brubeck. Chris is a highly sought-after composer, and in the last few years, has been commis-
sioned to write many innovative works of music. 2013 had seen the premiere of two new children’s pieces written by Chris, titled “The Hermitage Cats Save the Day,” a Russian-American cooperative project about the cats in the Hermitage Museum, featuring visuals, musicians and actors. He plays bass, trombone, piano, guitar, sings and has earned international attention as a composer, performer and leader of his groups, “The Brubeck Brothers Quartet” and “Triple Play.” Chris has worked with many diverse artists, including Frederica von Stade, Dawn Upshaw, Meryl Streep, Willie Nelson, B.B. King, Gerry Mulligan, Bela Fleck, Stephane Grappelli, Bobby Womack, “Tower of Power” and Patti Labelle. His compositions have been performed by orchestras all around the world, including the prominent U.S. orchestras
of Boston, Houston, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Washington as well as the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, the Russian National Orchestra and the Singapore Chinese Orchestra. Chris’s most recent thrill was performing with his brothers, Darius, Dan and Matthew, in an all-star tribute to their father, Dave Brubeck, as part of Washington’s Kennedy Center Awards, which was televised internationally in December 2009. Onstage, Chris’ irrepressible enthusiasm is matched by his command of jazz, blues, funk, pop and classical musical styles. An award-winning composer, Chris’ natural talents have made him a well-known composer for genre-bending modern classical music. His compositions for artists such as “Time for Three,” Regina Carter and Eileen

The innovative musical group “Triple Play,” lead by frontman Chris Brubeck will perform Thursday.
Ivers have been performed in major concert halls all over the planet. The Chicago Tribune calls Chris, “A composer with a real flair for lyrical melody – a 21st Century Lenny Bernstein.” Also called “rollicking good fun” by Mark Swed of the LA Times, the performance of
“Triple Play” is bound to be a unique and fun experience for all audience members. Lavery Brewing Company, the official brewery of MIAC, will be serving beverages before the show, so be sure to arrive early and try out their complimentary tastings. The performance will be

Fear of discrimination arises after act was passed By Sami Rapp
Managing Editor
Last week, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law. Under the law, businesses are able to cite their religious freedom as a legal defense for if they get sued for discrimination. The law also states that the government cannot “substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion” and if a proprietor feels that his or her religious beliefs have been burdened he or she can cite the law to fend off lawsuits.
Since the signing of the bill, people have raised concerns over whether or not the bill allows businesses to discriminate based on sexual orientation. Some worry that business owners may refuse service to people based on their sexual orientation and cite the law as a way to justify that discrimination. Pence, due to the backlash of the RFRA, is now working to re-word the bill to bar discrimination. While the governor stated that he did not intend the law to cause such backlash, I share the concern with many others, that as it stands right now, the
RFRA has opened its doors to allow discrimination. Indiana is not the only state with a law like this on its books. Nineteen states have religious freedom laws modeled after the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act from 1993.
“

”
make it easier for businesses to get away with discrimination if sued. Arkansas, following Indiana’s lead, passed its own religious freedom act on Tuesday, March 31. Most of the states that passed religious freedom laws did so before gay marriage became legal in their states. For a bill that is not supposed to be discriminatory it sure seems as if state legislators are using the bill to do just that.

While many girls are obsessing over Benedict Cumberbatch, David Beckham or Harry Styles, I fell in love with James May, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond, three middle-aged men who constantly fall over, occasionally drive cars and almost always accidentally set things on fire. Currently in its 22nd season, the BBC’s hit show “Top Gear” was halted mid-season after Jeremy Clarkson punched a producer, landing the producer in the hospital and Clarkson on suspension. Just last week, the BBC announced that Clarkson’s contract would not be renewed, and my heart broke. If you’ve never seen the show, I encourage you to watch it. Things blow up, million dollar cars do plenty of power
slides, there’s loads of tire smoke, and celebrities go around a landing-strip-turnedracetrack in a reasonably priced car. Even with all their knocking about, the men of “Top Gear” managed to make several world records. In 2013, they were named the world’s most widely-watched factual TV program. They were the first to drive motorized vehicles to the magnetic North Pole and the first to drive cars across the Makgadikgadi salt flats of Botswana. It’s incredibly surprising the BBC made the decision to fire Clarkson, simply because “Top Gear” brings in roughly 150 million pounds a year (that’s $290 million U.S. dollars). BBC now faces an enormous amount of backlash. Fans changed BBC (British Broadcasting Company) to mean Bring Back Clarkson.
A petition of over 1 million signatures was delivered to BBC in a tank by a man dressed as The Stig (a masked race car driver). Many suspect co-hosts May and Hammond will leave the show as well; May said “the three of us come as a package; it works for very complicated reasons.” In 2008 Clarkson broke his finger punching Piers Morgan and is known for having a somewhat offensive sense of humor. Hammond managed to anger all of Mexico by a comment on the show, which offended Mexicans by calling them “lazy, feckless and overweight.” In the ‘90s May was fired from a magazine after inserting a hidden message, which was, “So you think it’s really good, yeah? You should try making the bloody thing up; it’s a real pain in the arse.” Admittedly, the three blokes do not seem the best sort to admire, but in a way, they are.
They taught me loads of things I never thought I needed to know, like how Pagani Zonda is not Scrabble letters thrown together and Bugatti Veyron is not a type of foreign food. Most importantly I learned you always need to have a good laugh at yourself, advice I used when I found my old Jeep broken down on the side of the highway at one in the morning after the garage it was in earlier that day had caught fire. The situation was so ironic, I laughed first and forgot to cry. Jeremy Clarkson may be offensive and brash, but he is honest, and that, is the best thing a person can be. He is unapologetically true to himself, unafraid of the repercussions for his opinions, knowing they will come and he will meet them when they do. @Tory_Krey
Swift move: Taylor keeps name ‘Clean’ by buying porn domains By Nathan Turner News Editor
Online
This week, newspapers reported that Taylor Swift’s team has purchased the domains of two internet sites which would have associated TSwift’s name with pornography. The domains purchased were taylorswift.porn and taylorswift.adult, and more purchases are likely to follow. Ashton Kutcher made a similar move to prevent his, and his daughter’s name from being associated with smut. I do not typically praise Hollywood celebrities, but I like the proactive nature of these two. The sad thing is that it will likely do very little to prevent the spread of pornography which is somehow linked to
them. Number 34 of the Rules of the Internet: “if it exists, there IS porn of it.” Whether it is Taylor Swift, Ashton Kutcher or any other celebrity, there’s going to be something that either mimics or mocks them in the porn industry. Even if the particular person is not involved at all. Pornography has become a ubiquitous substance of the 21st century. It’s big money for those involved, but problematic for those who want to avoid it. Speaking as someone who would like to avoid the ever-growing cloud of pornography, I appreciate those companies or people who take steps to avoid any association with it, regardless of why they take those steps. I appreciate it because it acknowledges that this stuff
has some sort of negative consequences. It makes public what should be kept private, sometimes to the detriment, embarrassment, and shame of those involved.
“
Pornography has become a ubiquitous substance of the 21st century.

Nathan Turner
One of my favorite quotes from Pope John Paul II is “Pornography is wrong because it shows too little.” It reduces the sexual act, which is meant to be a unitive experience for husband and wife and a symbol for the unity of Christ and His Bride, the Church, to merely a physical urge to be satisfied.

Easter is right around the corner, enjoy your long weekend Lakers. You know spring is here when robins are spotted around campus. We hope they do not fly away with the recent, unexpected snowfall.
The Bad... Zayn Malik’s recent announcement of leaving One Direction has caused some girls to do crazy things like cut themselves. Fans are not happy with his decision.

Top Gear’s fan disappointed by Clarkson being fired By Victoria Kreysar
The Good...
It completely separates the spiritual and emotional aspects of sex. There’s no love in porn, but there’s a lot of money. Money’s the only goal, regardless of who gets hurt, damaged or shamed in the process. The fact that people have to take precautionary steps to ensure their names are not associated with pornography, even if they are not actively involved in it, is a sad statement of society these days. When sexuality has become something that has come to merely mean profit for people, and on such a massive scale, one must wonder what will be the next precious thing we will trivialize.

The Ugly... As students make their way out of the dining hall, they throw cookies, straw wrappers, coffee cups, half-eaten apples, among other trash. Once the snow starts melting, the litter becomes more visible. If you have trash on your way out of the dining hall, find the nearest garbage can and leave the trash where it belongs. Be respectful of our beautiful campus and the people who work hard to make it so.
The Weird... After failed attempts to restore the Student Union, it has been decided that it will now be converted into a swimming pool. Seems like the water polo team would then have a place to practice.

Women’s lacrosse spears Warriors By Tim Reed Staff writer
The Mercyhurst women’s lacrosse team defeated the East Stroudsburg Warriors 16-7 on Friday, March 27. Mercyhurst Player of the Week, senior Becca Himes, recorded four goals and five assists. The Lakers began the game with a quick start, scoring their first goal within a minute of play. East Stroudsburg’s goalie was injured on the faceoff. With no available backup, a midfielder had to move to goalie for the remainder of the game. “The East Stroudsburg goalie is usually very intense,” said Himes. “It was shocking for both teams when she went down. It didn’t really change our offense though; just took some time to get used to.” The Lakers capitalized on the change. Becca Himes
assisted teammates Regan Kaestner, Emily Gebhardt and Mackenzie Jordan for three straight goals. Soon after, Jordan scored another goal, making the score 4-1. However, with 10 minutes remaining, the Warriors rallied back, scoring four straight goals to make it 5-4, Warriors, at halftime. At 24 seconds into the second half, senior midfielder Taylor Ventre scored her first goal of the game, tying the game at five. The Lakers then took a 7-5 lead after Himes and Jordan scored. With 20 minutes remaining in regulation, Ventre hit the back of the net, followed by another from Jenna Schlagenhauf, her first of the game. The Lakers increased the lead after Himes, Schlagenhauf and Gebhardt scored again. With 7:15 and 6:26 left in the second, Himes scored
her final two goals to give the Lakers a 14-6 lead. After a pair of goals from Jenna Schlagenhauf and Olivia Keirn, the Lakers took the lead by 10 points. The Warriors scored one more goal, but it was not enough. The game ended 16-7, Lakers. “We cleared our heads from the first half, supported each other, and both defense and offense made adjustments to turn the game around during the second half,” Himes said. The team travels to Greensburg. Wednesday to take on Seton Hill. The Lakers, now 7-1, are ranked eighth in the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association Division II poll.

Women’s rowing wins gold at regatta By James Karasek Contributing writer
The Mercyhurst University women’s rowing team took first place at the 33rd Memorial Murphy Cup Regatta in Camden, N.J., on Saturday. The Lakers, ranked fifth in the nation, only saw one other Division II competitor: nationally ranked eighth place Philadelphia University. The team also faced several Division III teams including Bates College, ranked second in the nation, Hamilton College and Franklin and Marshall, both tied for 13th in the nation. Mercyhurst opened up the weekend’s competition, finishing their first heat with a time of 7:08.08. The next closest finisher in the heat, more than 40 seconds behind the Lakers, was Franklin and Marshall with a time of 7:51.30. Freshman Margaret Kneuer coxswained the winning boat.
After dominating the first heat, the Lakers carried their strong performance into the finals. They finished 12 seconds ahead of the second place finisher, Bates College, with a time of 6:54.02. The Lakers beat Philadelphia University which had a time of 7:11.23. Mercyhurst had a second boat this weekend in the junior varsity women’s competition. The JV boat, led by freshman coxswain Chelsea Guida, did not advance past its first heat, taking fifth place out of six with a time of 8:06.36. “We’ve become one unit. Our coach said we have a stronger bond than we’ve seen in past years,” she said. The team traveled to Alabama for training camp which Guida said was “hell.” However, she said head coach Adrian Spracklen tells the team that “championships are won in the winter; champions are crowned in the spring.”
Freshman Abbie Rinard was a part of the winning eight. This is also Rinard’s first season participating in a team sport. She said the team atmosphere is welcoming, but competitive. “All of the upperclassmen are amazing. They’re very welcoming and supportive of everyone on the team,” she said. However, when it comes to competing for starting spots she said, “there is the ‘she’s beating me, but I also want her in my boat.’ It’s about the boat, not the individual.” Mercyhurst women’s rowing will compete next on Saturday, April 11, and Sunday, April 12, in the Knecht Cup in Mercer Lake, N.J.

Zay led the team in scoring his junior year, and served as the Laker’s team captain this season. During his sopho-
more year he was named to the Atlantic Hockey Conference (AHC) Third Team and was named to the First Team as a junior.

year. He ended his college career with 17 goals and 50 assists. Bahntge led the Lakers in scoring this season with 36 points, which was his career high.

Geek Weekly: Tidal The subscription cost for the Tidal HiFi is $19.99 per month, which to many may seem too steep to have a library of 25 million songs and 75,000 HD music videos at your fingertips, when back in the 2000s you could only get two albums from iTunes for that price. If that price is still killing your wallet, there is still the Premium service that gives you unlimited streaming at normal quality and unlimited access to all the music videos for $9.99 per month. The other major difference between Tidal and Spotify is the royalties that artists will receive when their music is streamed on Tidal. Jay-Z stated that artists can expect to receive double the royalties they were receiving for their music on other services. It is not known if the artists that are now “co-owners” will remove their music from all other streaming services and be Tidal-exclusive artists, much like how House of Cards is exclusive to Netflix. Taylor Swift made a similar move by taking all her music Spotify in November 2014. Despite this, several analysts think few other artists will make moves like this. To them it does not make sense to move away from a service that is providing them revenue to move to another that does not have a big enough user base yet to make it more profitable.
Zach Dorsch Editor-In-Chief
On March 30, 2015, rapper and businessman Jay-Z announced that he is re-launching the high fidelity music-streaming service Tidal. During the re-launch event, Jay-Z was accompanied on stage by Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Madonna, Jack White, Deadmau5, Kanye West, Daft Punk, Chris Martin and several other influential artists. All the artists were there as Jay-Z explained, because they were “co-owners” of the venture, with the goal of “creating a whole new era” of music for the music industry. I am not sure you can create an entirely new era of music simply by buying and re-launching a music streaming service you bought for $56 million, but Jay-Z sure seems determined he can. Though having many Spotify-like features Tidal’s biggest competitor, Tidal also offers to those with a HiFi subscription the ability to stream in high-fidelity FLAC 1411, the industry standard for uncompressed loseless audio files. This means your music will sound much better on Tidal than it will on Spotify.

Most women, but not all, wear makeup on a daily basis. The problem with wearing makeup daily is that it contains parabens, most commonly-used as preservatives in cosmetic products. Men may think that they are safe from parabens; however, parabens are also found in shampoos, moisturizers and shaving products. Most shampoos sold at convenience stores contain high amounts of these dangerous chemicals. According to the FDA, the most common parabens used in cosmetic products are methylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben. In most cases, more than one type of paraben is ifound in a product. Since cosmetics sold at retail stores are required to declare all ingredients on the label, it is important to
