Each week these people work hard to plan and tailor different activities both on and off campus, to meet the needs and wants of the Mercyhurst community. Octoberfest, Chicken Wing Night, Midnight Madness, Hero Night, and Surprise-Surprise are some of the upcoming events that are going to be first activities to ever be sponsored by SAC in its history. *To make these events successful and on-going in the future, students need to support SAC and let the officers know what they think. After all, it's your money that is being used to pay for the activities. This year two positions have been revitalized in order to make SAC more productive. The Public Relations position has been divided into two categories. Brent Scarpo is in charge of adver- tising and publicity, and Jean Moniewski meets with people to generate ideas, distribute information, and survey the Mer- cyhurst community to find out their likes and dislikes about M>*V*. i\» events.
