WMCYlEquipment Stolen *
A distribution amplifier stolen from WMCY caused the station to
delay the beginning of the 1981-82 broadcast season. * ;;
According to WMCY'S Program Director Chris Settlemire, the
distribution amplifier was stolen from the boiler room where it was
installed during the summer months, f I | p M fe*
The stolen amplifier enabled the station's transmission waves to
be transmitted, to receivers located in various areas on campus.
Settlemire says they have found a way to work around the missing
amplifier and the station is broadcasting as usual. j 2 ^£
Settlemire also noted that he has no hopes of the amplifier being
returned. However, he did state that plans have been made to
replace it. J* £ \
During the same break-in some phone hook-ups were vandalized.
Phyllis Aiello, director of safety,stated that since the break-in "the
entire area has been enclosed to prevent any further-disruption of
Ehone services.'* She said there were noleads on who was responsi-
le for the theft and vandalism.

Distinction Without
Integrity I
It seems the 'Hurst^is not above challenging the image of the
local university with an advertising slap. The Mercyhurst Adult
Education Ad of August 30, which appeared in the local section of
the Erie Daily Times, stated: "An Education without caring is like
a University without a football Team." £
Bluntly, that ad was a cheap shot that went way beyond the limits
of healthy collegiate competition. Mercyhurst has demonstrated to
the public that it is not above petty put-downs in the classic struggle
SHoi/ Id we sH/l qo /A/
between the big university and the smaller private college.
That advertisement was distinctive only for its snide ^quality.
Mercyhurst becomes a jealous, insulting entity in the eyes of the
public. And for what purpose? The college isn't braver or more
