At the Council for Exceptional Children's
first meeting, Rhonda Mahoney Schcmber, a
Mercyhurst alumna, was the guest speaker.

raising her daughter Jodi who was born with
Downs syndrome. At the age of five, Jodi
lost the gift of speech. Despite her
disabilities, she is very bright.
"She can manipulate with the best of them
[children|," Schcmber said,
Schcmber shared how Mcreyhurstf
students have played a special role in her life.
Through the Gertrude Barber Center, students
can become sitters for* families with
exceptional children. Schcmber uses sitters
on a weekly basis. She believes that it is a
rewarding experience for all involved.
Students can have hands-on-experience,
while families receive support. This In-:,
home-Waiver program provides companions,
behavior rehabilitation support and therapy
services.
"AH kids belong together. Some may
need additional support, but they all deserve a
chance to belong," Schcmber said.
Although her family has struggled through
many challenges with Jodi, she believes it has
made her a better person. Schcmber also
believes that those who have contact with
exceptional children learn how lo accept
every child with open arms.
Schemoer said she is thankful for the
support she has received from the Gertrude
Barber Center and Mercyhurst College.
"What you do withlhc challenges can
determine the level of success you have in
for having a child with special needs,"
Schcmber said

Tunes on Tails
By Jason Ulery
Merciad Columnist
Week three and 1 still haven't
been contacted by "Rolling Stone"
magazine to do music reviews.
This week we have Rancid's west
coast punk attack and The Beastie
Boys live.
Rancid\s(third release, tilled
"...And Out Come The. Wolves"
was the very quick follow up to
1994's "LcFs Go." Rancid has
been veryfrequentlycriticized for
sounding too much like older
bands such as The Clash, but the
west coast sound is too distinct to
mistake it for anything else. It is
fairly obvious though, that the
boys from Rancid have listened
to a few too many "Oi" compila-
tions.
The album starts off strong with
the track "Maxwell Murder," but
there's a drop ofl'in quality alter
that. They all try their hand at
"Ska" with tracks such as "Time
Bomb" and "Old Friend." I must
honestly say that I am not that big
on jSka,"butlheirs docsn 't sound
too bad. The rest of the album is
decent at best, though.
The latest release from The
Beastie Boys is the "Root Down
EP." This features Prince Paul
and-Prunes remixes of "Root

Down" and live tracks from their
recent European Tour. All 1 have
to say is that they are great.
The live tracks arc excellent,
but I must say they lack the en-
ergy of a Beastie Boys show. For
those of you who have, never wit-
nessed one of these mind-spin-
ning events, I highly suggest it.
Last May at the Cleveland Con-
vocation Center I witnessed this
live and it was incredible. These
guys pull out all thcystops with a

Last year St Francis inflicted
an embarrassing 27-7 victory
upon the Lakers for one of only
their two victories throughout the
year. Sunday was revenge time at
Veteran's stadium as the men in
blue and green utterly annihilated
their opponents in a 57-14 vic-
tory. The team's record is now 3-
1 and represents continuing im-
provement on their best start un-
der head coach Joe Kimball. I
In fact the Lakers were so
pumped up for this game that they
were slow to settle into their game
plan. St. Francis took advantage
of this to go straight down the
Geld in their opening drive and
went ahead 7-0. However, the
Laker offense took the field by
storm and afterjust four plays had
scored the equalizing touchdown.
Shortly after, they got the ball
back on a fumble recovery by the
defense and went ahead 14-7.
Junior quarterback Matt Golga
was starting where he had left off
the week before, expertly leading
and directing his offense, the only
difference being that this week
the passing game was as effective
as the running game. Golga had
an eight yard run for the first
score and completed a 17 yard
pass to senior tailback Craig
Woodard for the second.
