There were three main questions addressed in the discussion: "Where are women in the political process?" "Why are they were they are?" and "What is being done about it?" Hanna pointed out that even though the population of Pennsylvania is approximately 50 percent women, there has only been a high of 13 percent of women representatives in office. Hanna explained this may be occurring because men are usually in the positions of hiring, and that men are usually the elected leaders. "There are more women then men out there to vote, and yet there are still more men elected," said Hanna. Butterfield pointed out that through research done after a recent election, more men voted for the women on the ballot than She tried to put it into logic. "Women who have chosen the traditional lifestyle feel threatened by women of other lifestyles," she said. "Women are not voting for women," Butterfield said, "and we have to fix that." Butterfield also added that raising campaign money, incumbency, not being taken seriously and the double standard that women have to deal with, are some of the factors disadvantaging women in politics. Stuempfle took a different manner of addressing this issue. She used anecdotes of her long career in the political arena to get the students more involved and continue their education. She believes that education and experience will allow more women to get into politics. "Women have come a long way. We are breaking down barriers and we're gaining," she said. "It takes time." The women's studies program will next be holding a poetry reading by Julia Kasdorf on April 5. They will also be sponsoring a charity walkathon to benefit area women's centers on April 7. Artisi rendering The much anticipated rec center will have everything from an indoor tennis court to a climbing wall. Rec center finally set to break ground next week Lock Haven -- Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania students and administrators will break ground for the construction of a recreation center in a special ceremony at 3 p.m. Thursday, April 5, in the area adjacent to the Parsons Union Building parking lot. The 38,000 square foot, one story facility will include three multi-use courts for basketball, tennis and volleyball; a fitness/training room; a climbing wall; three racquetball courts; an exercise/dance room; and a mezzanine running track. It is scheduled to be completed in April 2002. The Lock Haven community, as well as the University community, is invited to attend the ceremony. "It has been a long wait and we are very excited to see this become a reality," said Student Cooperative Council President James V. Manser. Students voiced their support for the construction of the recreation center in a referendum vote in spring 1998. Students voted that they would be in favor of paying a $99 recreation fee per semester if the University built the center. The estimated cost for the project is $7.1 million. The $99 recreation fee will begin in the fall 2002 semester. University President, Craig Dean Willis, said the recreation center will be a valued addition to the campus and provide yet another a facility for student activities. "The students have told us that this is what they want," Willis said. "We have a high percentage of students involved in physical education, recreation, health science and athletics. We also have a number of students who are just health conscious and see this facility as a bonus to attending Lock Haven University." A model of the recreation center will be on display at the groundbreaking ceremony. Larry Flint, who was president of the Student Cooperative Council at the time of the vote, will speak at the ceremony. Members of the student-led Recreation Center Committee, including Manser, will also take part in the ceremony. out the Eagle Eye next for all the hygienics and you'll get to see who got a Check Stephanie Caplinger/ The Eagle Eye Diann Stuempfle stressed importance of education to advance women in politics. condom blown up on their head at Sex Rules.

White Eagle Eye Editor in Chief The Pennsylvania Board of Governors is mandating more stringent control of fire prevention in the state school system, requiring that smoke detectors and sprinkler systems be installed in every residence hall. The directive prompted Dwayne Allison, Director of Student Life, to propose a smoke-free residence hall policy. In addition to the dangers cigarette smoking poses to fire safety, the health hazards of exposure to second hand smoke are a major concern to students. "My concern comes from the student life and student health aspect," said Allison. "There are numerous benefits." According to Dr. Linda Koch, Vice President of Student Affairs, it was only a few years ago that policies were passed prohibiting smoking in the Parsons Union Building and Bentley Dining Hall. Residence halls are the only buildings on campus where smoking is permitted and the last area to be addressed. In a quality of life survey administered to residence hall students in the fall semester, 61 percent who responded said residence halls should be completely smoke-free. The issue was debated Sunday among student leaders representing various university organizations at a meeting sponsored by President Craig Dean Willis. Students suggested several alternative solutions to fully banning smoking in residence halls, including designated smoking floors, wings or lounges. In addition, they cited a need for more ashtrays on campus and an improved design to reduce the amount of litter. In support of the smoke-free policy, many students claimed a right to breathe clean air and expressed agitation over the inconsistency of thc current policy, which prohibits thc possession of candles in residence halls, yet allows cigarette smoking. The discussion focused on the well being of students with an emphasis on long-term health benefits. According to a 1999 study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health and Massachusetts General Hospital involving students at 119 colleges, 46 percent of college students surveyed had used tobacco products in the previous one-year period. Allison suggested that a smoke-free campus works as a deterrence factor for students who pick up the smoking habit in college and develop lifelong nicotine addictions, discouraging them from experimenting and preventing eventual dependency on the drug. The potential result is a cost reduction in health care costs and longer, healthier lives. To accommodate those already dependent on nicotine, cessation education classes were proposed. Students disagreed on where the funding for such programs would come from and whether all students would receive equal benefits. In conclusion, Koch assured students that the administration is "not going to change the current policy before the fall," and encouraged them to further explore the issue with their fellow students.

Bookstore Open Mon-Fri 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Former candidate presents his platform Dear Editor of the Eagle Eye, I am writing in response to the Eagle Eye article written last week entitled "Here are your can- didates." I am not writing to refute, I thank the Eagle Eye for reporting on the platforms of those who ran opposed and unopposed in this years Student Cooperative Council elections. This letter is to share the platform that I had and to answer the million-dollar question that everyone has been asking since I renounced my candidacy for the office of President, which is "why." I began with my opening speech describing the experience that I have had with the SCC, that experience being serving as vice president, senator and currently as coordinator of the Haven Activities Council. Included in my opening speech was also my experience as a student leader being a former president of the Black Student Union, the Distinguished Gentlemen of LHU and a University resident assistant. If I had to choose a campaign slogan or theme it would be "Back For Our Future," meaning that there needs to be more and responsibility. comments with that thought I closed my opening went over a few ofthe SCC from the and purposes constitution. revised Those sections being: Section 2—To promote a high degree of cooperation among students; Section 4—To constitute a medium for student involvement in the management of student affairs and to promote the development of an autonomous, responsible and DEMOCRATIC stu dent government; and Section 5—To develop a well-rounded program of University life and encourage ALL students to participate within. The standing elections policy was a topic of discussion at this years debate, the reason being, in the fall of 1999 the senate passed an addition to the bill stating "each candidate must have one (1) full fully yours through the constitution. The recent concert fee referendum was brought up at this debate and one ofthe candidates said that we felt students should decide on something of this magnitude. I know that we cannot hold the current senators accountable for something that was passed over two years ago, but why is it that this policy, that would literally exclude thousands of students from holding one of the most prestigious student positions here at the University, why was there not a referendum about that? I really believe that students would have had something to say about this policy change. I recognize another argument that might be brought to the table about this policy; being, is it that hard to serve as a senator for one semester before becoming eligible. Not to knock senators, but basically any body can become one. All there is to do is obtain 50 signatures and you are in. For the most part no elections and if you do not cause a ruckus you should be the next in line to become an executive board member. So this is justadding another hurdle to the process. In putting things in perspective, the election process should begin the first week ofclasses in the fall semester. In the list of qualifications it states that a second semester freshman is eligible to run. Therefore they need to be informed of such upon entering and paying their activity fee to the SCC. What about those approximately 240 students that are elected to offices in the clubs and organizations under the SCC? This is saying that they have to not only lead their organizations but they have to be a part of the senate as well. I thought we were here to be students and not be boggled down with students' activities and laws that govern them. In my closing argument I brought up how there was a lot of agreeing going on among candidates. Reason being is that we shared one extra bond, sitting around the table at senate and adapting each others view points through negotiation. As a result of experience in Senate or appointed Executive Board position at Lock Haven University prior to candidacy." So basically, in a nut-shell that is saying that the only people that can be a part of the executive board of the SCC would come from a pool not of 3,700, but a pool ofabout 50 students or less. That is saying that the only leaders on this campus are senators and they are the only ones capable of carrying out the responsibilities of those elected positions (president, vice president and treasurer), that you have to be a part of the senate to know about the SCC. I know an argument for the addition is, Why should the SCC be any different from any other student organization? When you look at most of the clubs and organizations on this campus you have to be a regular member of the organization, that experience counts. I agree to an extent. Yes, senators might have the up-to-date beat of happenings in the SCC, but that does not constitute experience on the Executive Board of the SCC. Point SCC has two braches; being the legislative branch (the senate) and the executive branch (the executive board). The only way to gain the experience needed is to be on the executive board, because there is none like it, unless confidential things are being disclosed outside of the meeting. Another contest to that argument is that each student that pays the activity fee to the SCC, I believe, constitutes as a regular member. Basically, if you pay your dues (the fee) you should be cool. To be honest, I have never heard of anything like this before. You do not even have to be a member of the U.S. Senate to be a candidate for the Presidency of these United States of America. The definition of union is to promote the common bond, common people, and what this addition does is create an elitist democracy, in essence saying that you have to join this elite club to be eligible for something that is already rightsemester we have become complacent and comfortable with our viewpoints and ourselves. I used myself as an example. Over the years I have gained a few pounds and each and every time I go home my family is very conscious to let me know of this fact. My response, which is true, is that I have become comfortable with me and if I gain a few pounds here and there it is all right with me. I apply that to the SCC and this policy becatlse I think it has already become evident, even with the status quo. I stand by my statement that the SCC needs to for our future. Candidates from outside back go senate bring spice and new inspiration to the the organization. I was a "new kid on the block" when I ran. I was an 18-year-old freshman who wanted to "give things a little flavor." Well, as stands, this cannot happen or not have as much as an impact as I did in former years. Yes, this might encourage people to become senators, but on the opposite side, I think it will discourage more. In fact this policy disenfranchises dues-paying members of the SCC. Now for the "why" did I renounce my candidacy...it was for the students. I believe if I would have stayed in the race with a possibility of winning rather than unethically resigning because I found a job and would forego another year here at LHU...I would rather the students choose their next president. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me at jpatton@lhup.edu. Remember, stay informed, check the/your SCC constitution, talk to your senator and lets "GO BACK FOR OUR FUTURE!" Jamie S.

The greatest part of that learning is the unique opportunity to be able to reach out to others who have a differnet prospective, or a different set of ideals, yes different but equal. Each ideal is valid but put in an alternative way. LHU, through its scholars and academics, have done this in so many positive ways. The greatest positive influence that is provided is the power of friendship; its power is so strong that it creates an extended family for many students. Probably, there is no other time in a person's life that allows such freedom to explore and question others, as do college years. Many friendships formed in college lasting a lifespan are forged based on a combination ofrisk and reward, making those first steps to understanding someone else, instead of trying to be understood can be like opening a gate to support, loyalty, help and ultimately love. As we hear through the media, the tyranny of violence that rages in neighborhoods, just like ours, we are once again reminded of the fragility of our own peace; therefore, it is important to stimabout sensitive issues. A peace accord is not just about of the Middle East or Northern Ireland, but it is for every community. Peace is served through friendship, mutual respect, and acceptance for differences.

Jonathan de Bruijn education is more than a book, it SCC candidate qualifications should be decided by students • Each Candidate must have bne semester of experience in Senate or appointed Executive Board position at Lock Haven 'University prior to candidacy. "Article II, Section 1, sub-section D of the S.C.C. Standing Elections Policy. Policy D was enacted in the fall of 1999 as a measure to ensure that people elected to the executive board of the S.C.C. would be experienced in student government. The general con'sensus among the proponents of Policy D is that anyone who Wants to hold an executive office should have the dedication to serve on the senate for at least one semester before running for office. It was a pragmatic move in order to ensure that a position of considerable power was not given to someone who would abuse it. I can understand the 'merits of the policy, however 'there are some issues which " should be addressed. By the S.C.C. enacting this policy and supporting it, it undermines the basic trust, any representative which no matter how large democracy or small relies on. The student body has entrusted every member of the S.C.C. to act in their best interests, to speak for them. Any good representative will take it upon themselves to inquire about the concerns and desires of their constituency and then relay those wishes to the political arena where they may serve as the impetus for policies, which benefit the campus. Policy D implies that we as the student government do not trust the decision-making abilities of the student body, as if to say, given a qualified choice "A" and an unqualified choice "B," we believe the student body would chose B. Yet every senator owes their position to the decision making abilities of the that we took away and if the Nugget Little A policy had passed once presented to the entire campus, I would of Truth not be writing this today. The student voice would have been heard in full, lending greater legitimacy to the act. In addition, it has been pointed out on different occasions by individuals of the student body and former presidential nominee, Jamie Patton, that just because someone has not served on the senate before does not mean that they would fail as member of the executive board. Matthew English There are many leaders on this campus who have proven student body. and We should have not taken themselves in various fields things, many accomplished away the right for anyone on this have but none of them having to do campus to run for office.

Are you nuts? Randy Miller Eagle Eye Staff Reporter So, Jason wants to lower the drinking age to 16 and raise the driving age to 17. Apparently, Jason's stupidity exists on many levels, so let us examine them. First of all, how pissed is the youth of America going to be upon the realization that they now have to wait an extra year before they can take the family car for a spin. No more picking up friends and driving them to the movies, no more driving to school. Essentially, no more The freedom earned when a teenager turns 16 is monumental and, as I recall, couldn't come soon enough. Now, Senator Shepard wants to make these already angst-filled teens wait another year, and wants to burden the parents of these teens with the tasks of carting their butts around town for another year. And for what? To lower the drinking age? By five years? What good is this going to do? Allow ninth and tenth graders to legally throw keg parties? What other good could possibly come out of this? Could I use any more question marks here? Jason's probably going to say something to the effect that, "taking this step will give our kids the respect they deserve, and will allow them to get used to the dangers of alcohol before they take on the responsibility of driving a car." But remember ladies and gentlemen, Jason is stupid, painfully stupid. And he's an alcoholic, but we won't get into that because I am too.

Pm currently in my freshman year and a member of the Sophisticated Ladies (SL). The reason why Pm writing to the Eagle Eye is on behalf of the organization, the Distinguished Gentleman (DG) and the Black Student Union (BSU) concerning the brief mention of Jamie Patton in the paper on Friday, March 23. He was mentioned in the article about SCC; Jamie Patton is now a former candidate for ihe President position in the SCC. During the debate on Thursday, Jamie Patton, as well as every other candidate, presented their opening statements. Every candidate's statements but Jamie Patton's were printed. The SL, DG and BSU organizations, feel that he was poorly represented in the paper. Jamie gave great reasons for running for President, for example: He talked about accountability, responsibility, and leadership. Unfortunately, in Jamie's closing statement he told everyone that he was withdrawing his candidacy. Jamie believed his reason for withdrawing from the race wasn't as important as his statements presented during the debate. * 893-1772 hoi at an early age so they can... what, practice being good drunk drivers? I don't know, it makes no sense to me! But what does make sense to me is this: If we lower the age limit on anything, it will only serve to increase the number of wasted lives in our country. Think about it: Most people in this country are stupid, Jason being a prime example. The laws of the land are put in place to protect the stupid people from the things that would make them even more stupid. If _ " "j \ ! i *6" it '10" ii'ia. II II would know what to do. So, if we lower the drinking age by five years, it will hurt the stupid youth of America, but benefit the intelligent... wait, I forgot, no one's intelligent when they're 16. It's high school, a tiny, closed-off environment where kids go to try and figure out how to not be so stupid. And you want to bring alcohol into this mix? Alcohol makes smart people stupid, and stupid people more stupid. If you allow 16 year olds to purchase alcohol, when they're already mad about not being able to drive, you're opening up the floodgates for kids all across this great nation of ours to hop on the alcoholic bandwagon five years in advance. So, as the old saying goes, "I'm outta here like s!#@ through a goose." No wait, it goes like this: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." And it ain't broke. Lower the drinking age to 18? Maybe we could talk about that. But 16? Come on, you're nuts. Admit it, you're nuts. 99 !1 At my debrief on Friday, March 23, myself and other minority students were shocked to read the ad in the Eagle Eye; we noticed that Mr. Patton's views were not mentioned. Many students knew that Jamie had dropped from the race, but as part of the student body we feel his picture and some direct quotes from his statements could have been productive and informing. The purpose for electing a president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer is to represent the views of the overall student body here at LHU. The student body includes the SL, DG, and BSU members who all support Jamie Patton. Subsequently, we as students feel an article should have been written expressing views and issues of Jamie Patton's. The column informed the readers that he had dropped out of the race. We as students feel every idea should be acknowledged as long as reported adequately. If Jamie couldn't pursue his position, then someone else could have taken pointers from his statements to pursue them in their future position. Although Jamie Patton is not a candidate now, we still feel that it was the ideas that were important and his ideas should have been shared with the readers. Each and every student counts on this campus and what Jamie tried to do was merely stand out and make a point to the students. As members of organizations and as students at LHU, we personally were offended. If Jamie was good enough to be a candidate on Thursday during the debate and voice his opinion, why wasn't he quoted? Here are just a few names of the members in the organizations mentioned who support Jamie Patton's ideas. The Sophisticated Ladies; Brandy, Williams, Carmen Figueroa, Sherwonda, Boardle, Brandi Jones, as for the Distinguished Gentleman; Eric Holmes, Frantz Souffrant, Michael Kimvey, Evedin Obasahon, Anerson Theronier, Andrew Johnson, Keith Woodson, Tim Lawson, Eric, Nicholson and of course himself Jaime Patton, last but not least the Black Student Union.

The stage was set and the crowd applauded the Lock Haven University Community Orchestra and Chorus at Sunday's Masterworks Concert held at Price Performance Center. The truly blissful musical was a refreshing welcoming to spring. The soft tunes moved ever so freely, like light footsteps prancing to the beat of a gracefully flowing melody. The ensemble was under the conduction of Robert D. Lynch, founder and director of the Lock Haven Community Chorus and conductor of the University Community Orchestra. Lynch currently serves LHU as the Assistant to the President Emeritus and has Honorary Faculty Status in the LHU Music Department. The Orchestra, under Lynch's conduction, opened with Delibg's "March and Procession of Bacchus." Following was the presentation of "Adagio" from "Spartacus," which included solo performances by Renata Billeter, on oboe: Margaret Irwin, on clarinet, Martha Rowetter, on flute, and Una Ruth Weiner on the piano. Orchestra and Chorus also preformed John Rutter's "Requiem," which included solos by Soprano, Beth Young, and Cellist Richard Carroll. Guest Conductor, Charles Chen, led the Orchestra in their playing of Beethoven's "Egmont" Overture. Chen's vibrant enthusiasm sparked awe in his audience. Many admired his dynamic movement and leadership ability. When asked for his reaction to the performance, senior music major, Adam Getz particularly noted Chen's performance. "He is deserving of praise. He does a wonderful job," Getz said. The performance culminated with another John Rutter work entited "I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes." The Lock Haven University Community Orchestra presents several concerts every year and at lest twice each year with the Chorus. Both organizations are comprised of individuals of all ages, ranging from early teens to mid-eighties. ARTICULATE?) *^J|7S> week of March 26 .

April 9th by 4 March 30, 2001 Eagle Eye Page 8 — "Divine" actors use new method to understand roles Anastasia Bannikova The Eagle Eye ; The stage of the Sloan Theatre lay barren during countless hours of rehearsal, wellworn by the footsteps of actors and actresses, yet void of a set, and it remained bare when "The Diviners" premiered Thursday. The set, or lack there of, was befitting for the location, time and mood of the play - rural Southern Indiana, summer 1932, during the Depression. "The Diviners," by modern ;playwright Jim Leonard Jr., opened Thursday evening and will also be performed tonight and Saturday at 8 p.m., as well as next Sunday. Thursday through The play tells the story of Buddy, a 14-year-old boy who is afraid of water after a near drowning in his youth. Because of his accident, he has developed slowly and is very sensitive, yet manages to find water for the entire town in a time of need. Directed by Helen Prien, professor of Speech and Theatre, with the help of professors Gordon Phetteplace and Denise Warner, the play promises to be professional and fresh. Partly due to the strong and cohesive cast, which combines students with different levels of acting experience, "The Diviners" is a so-called ensemble show, in which every individual is important. Art or Theatre majors, such as Jen Freeman and John Striffler, and students from other departments, such as Justin Beatty and Lauren Bechtel, all are interwoven into the story line. But, of course, it needs major characters, and there are two. Kimi Muir from Huntington, a sophomore and English literature major, is playing Buddy, according to Prien, a very complex character. Muir has the privilege to play a so-called "breeches role," when an actress portrays a male. Women started performing in the 17ln century, and quite often they were given roles of teen-age boys or men with a slender physique. "Actresses such as Sarah Bernhardt played roles such as Hamlet. Even today, the role of Peter Pan frequently goes to a female," said Prien, who thinks Muir does a wonderful job portraying a shy adolescent of the opposite sex. "She is a very mature, developed hard worker." Muir herself realized how difficult the role was, but she was prepared for the challenge. "Since I was young I wanted to be Peter Pan like Mary Martin, and I use her as a role model for my part," she said. "Hopefully I have done my job when the audience is convinced." The second major character is C.C. Showers, an ex-preacher from Kentucky who develops a special friendship with Buddy and tries to help him overcome his fear of water. Showers is played by John Striffler, a junior and Theatre major who already appeared in numerous plays, such as "Romeo and Juliet" and "Noises Off!," and worked in the local theatre, Millbrook Playhouse. According to Prien, Striffler is a real professional by now and he can handle any kind of role. For the rehearsals, Prien used the technique of the Enneagram - a philosophy that requires a thorough analysis of a person's character. According to Prien, this Socratic "know-thyself' technique helped the actors to discover themselves and their characters in the play. The system was founded and formulated 30 years ago by a Chilean psychologist Oscar Ichazo, continued by his pupil Claudio Naranjo, and carried on by various American teachers. "It transcends age, culture, gender, religion and class," said Prien. The concept of the Enneagram is rooted in motiva- tion and widely used in business management and counseling. For "The Diviners," Prien wanted the cast to play characters that they were most suited for. "Actors deal with a lot of different personalities but are more tuned to the characters similar to them," she said. to the According Enneagram's technique, the personalities of the two actresses Sara McMann, who plays the farmer's wife, Luella, and Jen Freeman, who plays a cafe owner, Goldie, were matched perfectly to their parts. Three years ago Prien wrote a dissertation on the Enneagram and its connection to acting and attended a very intense threestep seminar at East Stroudsburg University that involved meditations, lectures and sessions of the personal growth. This is the first time she is using the Enneagram as a technique for the rehearsals and she is very pleased with the results. "I think it helped a lot," she said. "The cast was just wonderful. They took the risk." At the same time, the usual "theatre stuff was used for the play and common things such as panic attacks were still occurring. Prien said that the audience would hardly notice the difference in the acting because of the Enneagram. "It's a growth within," she said. According to her, the method helped the cast to get to know each other and themselves and realize what they were capable of doing. Prien is currently writing the with "'Divining' another paper Enneagram," about the method, and will present it at the International Conference in August. The rest of the play's secrets and facts weren't revealed because of the confidentiality and sacredness of the theatre. "Sometimes it's better to leave some things unsaid," said Prien.

Shanley Eagle Eye Editor in Chief sites. The tent camping sites are quiet setting.Water and sewer The opening of the 2001 camping season is quickly approaching, making it a perfect time to plan you're camping and hiking excursions. Lock Haven University is surrounded by the state's best camping and hiking areas. "The topography isn't nearly as nice anywhere else in the state than the area from Williamsport west to the Alleghenies and north of that line to New York State," said Damon Lowell, a member ofthe Outdoor Club. "It is a little too populated down south." There are nearby state parks to fit every type of camper. Whether you just like to get away from it all, conquer every mountaintop, fish every stream or enjoy gazing at central beautiful Pennsylvania's scenery, there is a state park for you just a stone's throw away. Lowell has many favorite areas in the area but agrees that he does hold a bias when choosing campsites. "You'd never catch me in a KOA," said Lowell. "I've been spoiled by seeing many beautiful areas while camping so my standards are high. "Worlds End is a gorgeous place and Rickets Glen has great waterfalls and hiking, but Bald Eagle State Park is nothing special." The following is a list of local state parks and the differfor camp- Bald Eagle State Park (Howard, Pa.)

Men's Rugby drops season opener to Salisbury State Michael Reichley The Eagle Eye The men's rugby club played its first match of the season Saturday, losing a hard fought game against Salisbury State, 17-5. The Lock Haven Ruggers had many rookies seeing their first varsity action, to which the rookies and other first time varsity players responded by stepping up against a more experienced Salisbury team, compensating for a lack of experience with intensity and drive. The pack showed their potential many times during the match and will be a force comparable to past Haven packs once they get a couple of (U| en »*> s IVItSil games 'under their belts. Veteran pack Rugby member Shaun "Rubber" Koren led the attack along with Matt "Ragtime" Hertz, Adam Clark, and Randy Helsman. After the first half, Salisbury was up 12-0, but the Haven turned it up in the second half holding the opposition with tough defense that included the efforts of Hiller Olson at fullback. Lock Haven was also keeping the opposing defense occupied trying to derail the strong runs of Nick Hoffman, Aaron "Hurt" Lankford, and Toby. The Ruggers scored their points off of a run by Jason Also, Grim. President Baughman played his consistent style of fly-half, spreading the offensive attack to his fellow teammates and exploiting the opposition himself when the situation was right.

If you have any questions, you can contact the Eagle Eye at x2334 As NBC contemplates pulling the plug on XFL broadcasts if their woeful ratings don't improve during the approaching playoffs, league officials maintain they are prepared to press on next season without media mogul Dick Ebersol as an equal partner. The NBC Sports president agreed to join Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation Entertainment in a joint $100 million venture for the upstart professional football league McMahon shortly after announced plans to form the XFL last February. But in a Washington Post story Monday, Ebersol said he would have to see significant the improvement in ratings_which have dipped as low as a record 1.6 - in order for the network to fulfill its twoyear commitment. . . "We all want to see it work," Ebersol said. "The evidence through 75 percent of the regular season is not promising. We have a two-year commitment but it's going to have to show a marked swing in the ratings in the postseason for it to have a real shot beyond this year just from an advertising standpoint." The eight-team XFL, which includes the Orlando Rage, has attracted about 25,000 fans per game. And with ticket prices averaging $25 each, the gate roughly receipts produce $625,000 per game. The semifinal playoffs are scheduled for the April 14 weekend, with "The Big Game at The End" slated for April 21. Given the negativity surrounding the NBC ratings, Orlando Rage General Manager Tom Veit was disappointed, but not totally surprised, to hear that Ebersol might be wavering on his support of the XFL. Yet league officials plan to . after the third season.
