Six “Seven girls from sorority with a Delta in it are supposed to be strangled at a college where the sororities have suites and not hous es.” “And Mercer is one of the few colleges that does.” “And she said it was going to be ia about 100 miles radius from Atlanta.” “A co-ed at Georgia told me that when I went home this weekend. Except they were going to be stabbed, not strangled. And it was going to be in the University sys tem.” “What do you think Mercer is, a college?” “He’s supposed to get in the dorm by dressing as a woman.” ’ “It’s no problem to get in this dorm. Workmen walk in and out all the time. Nobody ever knows where one is going to turn up.” “He could be in the building now, hiding down in the luggage room!” "Vail, let’s get the security guard to check the building before dosing tonight" By Debra Rogers “Ah come on y’all! You don’t believe all this.” “Just think how many times she’s been right before.” “You’ve got a point there.” As the day went on you heard various otoher venionuf the story. Where did they hear it from? "Tha giri told me.” "Where did she hear it from?” “From the radio.” “From the television.” “From the newspeper.” Finally, some enterprising dis believer called the radio station* in the Macon area. None of them had carried the story, nor did they know anything about It But the Mercer Mangier rumor had gotten a head start, and no thing was goin to stop it anytime soon. It was inevitable I suppose, that the ouija boards would come out that night. Every hall in the fresh man dorm had at least one going some two. “Ouija, is anything unusual go ing to happen tonight?” . . Ye. . . . ‘Is anyone going to be hurt ” Ye. . . . ‘Ju»t girl.?” . . Ye. . . . ’How many?” . . 7 . . . "Are any of them going to die?” . . . Yes . . . “How many, Oiuja?” . . . 6 . . . “Where is this going to hap pen?" SECOND PORTER . . . ‘That’s ADPi." "Maybe it’s not Mercer.” “Of course it’s Mercer. How many other schools have a dorm named Porter?” “Ask it if it’s Mercer.” ’’Don’t call Ouija on it You’ll hurt it*, feeling.!” “Ask it!” Meanwhile, in another dark room on another floor ... “Amanda, are you there?” “Amanda? who’. Amanda?” “She 1 , the .pint I always get on my ouija board.” ‘‘Spirits! I’m getting out of here!” "She’s friendly!” “If we’re going to start hearing some voice coming out of nowhere I’m getting out of here!” “There’, no voice. She just .pell, thing, through the ouija board.” “Alright then, it it’s safe.” “Amanda, do you agree with all the other spirits have been say ing?” . . . Ye* i . . “What other spirits?” “The one. on the other ouija boards.” “Oh.” "Amanda, what time is this .up- posed to happen?” ... 2 A M. . . . "Amanda, how is this man go ing to get in the dorm?” ...

That night I received my first report . . and so did everyone else in the room. ■m Crisis: Student Involvement A Guest Editorial By the President of SGA By Julian Gordy Last month four students be came concerned about the age old cafeteria problem” to tha point that they drew up a petition and presented it with names to the Student Government Association for action. These students, who war* not elected to an SGA post, were then appointed by the SGA to its Food Services Committee to prsHtrt the immediate problem to the proper authorities and to con tinue working with the SGA in this area in the future. These students, and since then several more, exercised their priv ilege and what should be consid- ersd their duty, to become actively involved in their student govern This is a com in pointing out that there is a lock of active in votamssit from students who are not elected to posts on tha Stu- d a a t Government Association. not ba pointed to the student body with full justification. Tha SGA itself should and does fori a definite sense of guilt for fate imperfection in student gov- senmant at Mercer. What is now a dichs for any type government— Uatted States to High School Stu Councils even for the social pcobl— that foe* am world, can ba applied in fate caaa: “A brook- in oosamunicetiou". How ever, fa fate particular ritaation, than is a pwndaaag bright spot— the fact that the Student Govern of Manor Uni steps to all estate which has occurred over the one problem of communication. It is in anticipation that through print ing the transactions of the SGA in The Cluster, that the student body will become informed as to the work that is being done by this body and will recommend and cri ticize those matters which need more attention or which at preeent have yet to receive any attention. It is important that any rec ommendations o r criticism be voiced to an SGA representative. Too many times there is irrespon sible griping or emotion to some one else who feels the same way but the gripe is hot taken to some one who knows how to do some thing about it • ILS.
