TTie event, organized by the Athletic Department and the Haven Activities Council (HAC), was meant to encourage the University's organizations to come out in sup(X)rt of the men's and women's basketball teams. The participating teams were judged in five categories: loudest group, largest attendance, best coordination of school colors, best cheer, and best sign. The key to winning was to yell, stomp, cheer and shout as loudly and as creatively as possible, and the only rule was that all members of each team had to stay throughout both games. The North Hall team placed second in the competition, winning $75, and the Black Student Union (BSU) placed third. winning $50 for their organization. Other participants included members of Kappa Delta Rho and the Haven Hecklers, a group of students who attend every basketball game. The event is the work of the new assistant director of athletics, Pat Guerriero. Guerriero is an alumnus of the University and remembers when events like this were a common occurrence for all sports. He said, "This is the beginning of what I'd like to do all next year...with basketball, football and wrestling." Assisting the athletic department in the night's activities was HAC, which according to HAC coordinator Mary O'Mara, was "a wonderful idea." O'Mara said the athletic department and HAC have been separate entities for so long that she was eager to work with Guerriero on Jam the Gym. She also said HAC will hopefully be working with the athletic department in the future.

Board of Trustees discusses campus beautification by Cynthia Graham and Amy Satkofsky Eagle Eye News Editors Dr. Dean Phelps, University vice president of Finance and Administration, delivered a special ref)ort discussing campus beautification projects slated for the near BliH future at last night's Board of Trustees meeting. Included in these plans is the construction of an inner campus mall to be located behind Russell Hall. The "mall" would consist of lawns and walkways, making the campus more attractive. According to Phelps, several other projects are also on the drawing board. These University President Dr. Craig Dean Willis addresses the Board of Trustees at their meeting on Thursday. (photo by Sheri Elfman) projects include finishing the Woolridge Hall renovation, already in its second year, renovating the boiler room in Rogers Gym and renovating or rebuilding the Courthouse Annex. There are also plans for a new building at the Clearfield campus, slated to be finished in December 1998. Another topic of discussion at the meeting was the settling of the negotiations between the faculty union, APSCUF, and the State System of Higher Education (SSHE). Both APSCUF and SSHE will vote on the final proposal on Feb. 18 and 19. University President Dr. Craig Dean Willis said that although neither side got everything they wanted, he felt it was a fair compromise. However he stated, "It's not over'until it's over." Dr. Jeffrey Burnham, the University's APSCUF president, also commented on the contract settlement while at the meeting. According to him, the contract is one that "everyone can live with." He also said that he was looking forward to a more harmonious relationship between the union and. the SSHE system. He credits Willis for keeping relations at the University running smoothly through the negotiations. SCC President, Larry Flint also spoke of plans the SCC is currently working on for the Eagle Card. He said that they are working on expanding the use of the card for debit transactions, laundry purposes and as an on-line electronic voting card during elections. Flint said he hopes to implement the changes this semester.

The choices that the committee had included a large comedy act, a small variety show, small scattered live performance or a big concert.

Panko has no official documentation on the number of HIV cases on campus. However, she said that she is aware of "at least one case of full blown AIDS."

Today's topip has to do with the athletic department. Just wait, before all you football players grab your clubs and start mumbling, "I am going to make that Nagy our new tackling dummy." It is not about any inter-collegiate sport. (That sound you heard is every sport program breathing a sigh of relief.) What has me in an uproar this week is our intramural program and lack there of. I say lack there of because it seems we do not have an intramural program on this campus anymore. I have seen signs go up this week that rosters are due, but where is the info in advance? I tend to believe that the intramural program on this campus needs to be taken outside and shot. Then the athletic department and the powers that be can go ahead and make the program better than it is now. We need a program that has better organization, better administration and one that is more fun. The current program just plain stinks. Before I continue to trash the intramural program I should explain the reasons why I feel the way I do. First and foremost is the organization of the program. The organization is poor. The only time students know when events are being scheduled is when the signs for roosters go up, and that is only a week in advance, if at all. This is no time for people to get a team together to compete. I know they handout the Intramural Handbook every year but how many people keep it long enough into the winter and spring. Most of these books are in the garbage a week after they are handed out. I also wonder if off-campus students get these handbooks, because it seems to me they are only put in the residence halls and in Zimmerli. The whole problem starts here and snowballs. Another main problem is the administration of this program. Once a season starts you are lucky to get hold of the director of the program, and you are even more lucky if you get a referee to show up at your game. Last fall my team had a referee show up to only one of our four events. We tried to complain but our calls were never returned and we never got to speak to anybody other than ASPEN. The referees do not even know when to show up. The teams do not even know when they have to show up. This is the type of organization which led to the Titanic being sunk. The whole problem is in the organization of this program. A good example of this is last year during the Floor Hockey season. A group of my friends practiced all year to compete in that competition and even memorized the rules not to be disqualified. They were ready to rumble and fight fair. Too bad the other team was dirty and friends with the referees. I always thought the only sport that was dirty was pro boxing, not LHU intramurals. My friends called the I.M. department and got the answering machine. They were physically hurt in a game that was not to allow any checking or rough play. They finally got a hold of the person and this person gave them the run-around. This is not right by anybody's judgement. If those two things are taken care of, then the I.M. program can start being fun once again. I believe it is time for the athletic department to step forward and do some- laleS LHU ON THE TUBE I have to give a special shout-out to my friend Dan Kingerski and everyone associated with bringing LHU basketball to Channel 10.

Well, maybe not all you want to know, but the easy stuff, at least. Remember this tonight when you're struggling to be as suave and romantic as possible, even though you really want to gag on all the gooey chocolates and schmoopie-talk. At least you're not living in ancient Rome chasing your Valentine around with a whip (although seme out there might find that more enjoyable vhan a candlelit dinner for two), or in Denmark trying to guess who's dots will gei you a bonus egg on Easter morning. Above all, enjoy yourself today, whatever you do, or whoever you do it with. Even if you're alone, remind yourself how special you are from time to time. After all, that's what Valentine's Day is all about ~ recognizing the special people in our lives. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY FROM THE BOOKSTORE VBme i # # Friday, Febraary 14,1997 Eagle Eye 9 Features I •^WEsSv. Feinstein wows packed house WLHU hits the airwaves by Andrea Picking Eagle Eye Features Reporter_ Poet Sascha Feinstein captivated an overflow crowd in the PUB Multi-purpose room last Tuesday night with several selections of jazz-related poetry. The 1995 Writer's Exchange Program for Poetry winner began with his older work entitled "Buying Wine," and the poem "Christmas Eve," a work inspired by .an argument between jazz legends Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk. Feinstein then shifted to a more recent work with "Corcovado," a poem about musician Stan Getz, who is described by Feinstein as "a great influence." In his first live reading of the poem, Feinstein said he hoped to capture Getz's "genius as an artist" and his abusive nature to his wife. Joking with the audience between Mm poems, Feinstein also added his experiences with "a lot of bad poetry" when his wife was in Singapore. According to the poet, the one good poem that came out of the experience was "Above and Below the Surface," which was dedicated to his wife. Fenstein became a jazz lover in high school after his father introduced him to the music. He said his poetry was inspired by jazz because, "The music got to me." Those attending the reading had positive things to say about Feinstein and his work. Student Heather Kellander said, "I didn't think I would like it when I got here, but I liked it, and it was interesting." Megan Neville, a freshman, felt the reading was "very colorful." In addition to writing his own poetry, Feinstein is a professor at Lycoming College, the editor of a jazz anthology, and has several books of his ptoetry in print. §.«i. mm i tit letli Horn 2pm 8pm. ^ WUnday Tbnndkqr "fJheseWds CaJdTUk" "Fkxr 2pm "PieintieSfy" "AMtyBta^Se^' "Phenomenon" 11am. 2pm 8pm.

Now you've got what you want, a brand new notebook computer, but the second you P I Q ^ I ^ I H n walk out of the store you drop it and it crumbles into a thousand pieces. Don't worry, because if you followed my instructions, you got at least a one-year extendible warranty that includes parts and labor. Finally we are at the fun part: How much is this going to cost me, Brian? Well, you're in luck if you act fast. Notebook prices have dropfjed considerably in the past few weeks and you can get all of what I just described, and in some cases more, for well under $3000. Now, for those of you who are too lazy to shop around, I have selected two notebook computers that I believe to be the best for your buck. First is the Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDS. Toshiba has taken the portable PC market by storm in the past two years, and iscontinuously updating their products with better hardware, while keeping the prices down. Their Satellite Pro boasts a 1.3GB hard disk, lOX CD-ROM drive and a n.JMHz Pentium Processor. This PC also pecks an 11.3 inch dual-scan screen which fits into this 7.3 pound powerhouse. There's even a connector for the external floppy dijk drive that enables you to use the CD-ROM and the floppy drive simultaneously. Its lithium-1 powered battery gives you two and a half hours of uninterrupted action. All of this for (drum roll please) $2500! Then there's the Winbook XP5 Pro. This notebook will supply you with a 133MHz Pentium Processor, 12.1 inch dual-scan color display, 1GB hard drive, 16MB of RAM (extendible to 40MB) and a 28.8Kbps fax/modem. This computer also has an option bay that will accept either an 8X CDROM, a floppy drive (both included) or an optional second lithium battery. You'll also receive both type II and type III slotr, a oneyear extendible warranty and Windows 95 preinstalled. And all of this fun-filled excitement for the low price of $2699. My personal choice would be the Toshiba model because to see this thing in action is very exciting. Toshiba is the future of portable PCs and many programs that come out for notebooks will be catered to the Toshiba models. Sure it's a Japanese company, but I'm an equal oppwrtunity computer user, and until the U.S. comes out with a comparable model, I'm sticking with the best and the chea[)est. Suggestions?

The Sport's Spotlight is on.•• Sharon Tayl or by Scott Fisher Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_ In December, Lock Haven University Director of Athletics, Sharon Taylor, represented the United States as a delegate to the Federation Internationale Hockey (FIH). Taylor was one of three people selected by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), who met at December's congiess in Brussels, Belgium. There are 102 members of the FIH, 47 of which were represented at the meeting to review events in the field hockey world. According to Taylor, the election of a new president became the major issue at this year's congress. Former FIH pr- sident, Etienne Glithitch of France, retired after eight years of service. In the federation's first election, Juan Calzado received the votes he needed to become president. Prior to this election, the president usually achieved office by being appointed. Taylor said that she gained her nomination from prior experience as the U.S. Field Hockey Association's representative to the USOC's executive board since 1987. Taylor also explained that she had the responsibilities of foreign hospitality at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta . As head coach of the LHU Field Hockey team, Taylor compiled an impressive record of 331-96-27 in 23 years of being in charge.

With her own unique talent and many awards, Katie Bonner is pulling the swim team out of the deep end and bringing the team into the limelight. Katie began swimming at the tender age of four at a local swimming club in her iiome town of Philadelphia, PA. Her parents enrolled her at the club for the sake of safety, but she continued in swimming for the love of the sport. Beginning with her numerous accomplishments in high school, Bonner was all Catholic for three years straight. She was most improved during her junior year, and MVP her senior year at Archbishop Ryan. Here at Lock Haven Bonner has continued with her many accomplishments. Her freshman year at the Haven, Bonner was voted most improved and sixth in the PSAC conference. Bonner has also set five individual school records in the 50 breast stroke, 100 breast stroke, 200 breast stroke, 1000 free style and the 100 I.M., not to mention the separate relay team awards. Bonner has made many contributions and influenced the team in many ways. "She is a tremendous person. She is the kind of person everyone likes to be around. she has nothing but positive things to say about others. We all love her," proudly remarked Coach Justice. Friend and teammate. Amber Schmeider would not have been able to make the transition from high school to college without Bonner. "She is great. She made me feel right at home on the team. It wouldn't be the same without her," Schmeider commented. Bonner is now preparing for the PSAC meet. She will be competing in the 100 and 200 breaststroke. Even though Bonner is a little nervous about competing, she is excited. "I'm getting better and my times are going down," Bonner said. Justice is positive about the PSAC for Bonner. She swam her fastest time of the season against York College. "She is looking very strong and I'm very hopeful about her dropping her time," stated Justice. Bonner attributes her talent to her parents who have been a "positive influence," and Justice. "He is a good coach and a good motivator. He keeps you going," Bonner added. As for her future in swimming, Bonner is not sure. She plans to take a couple years off, then maybe move on to the masters' competition. For now Bonner is majoring in social work and minoring in Spanish. Besides swimming, she is involved in the Social Work Club. Good luck to Katie and the rest of the swim team at the PSAC championships. by Brian Ploskina Eagle Eye Sports Editor_ Bald Eagle basketball guard Michael Shue was dismissed for the season last week for disrespecting a team coach during practice on February 4. The incident occurred when Shue reportedly called an assistant coach a derogatory name. Head Coach Brad Bross then threw Shue out of practice, and told him that he would have to report to his office and apologize the next day if he wanted to play in the next game. Senior Shue didn't show up and was suspended for one game. It was then decided to dismiss him for the season. The incident alone would not have warranted a dismissal but Bross commented that this was not the first time something like this happened. "This was not a great surprise," he said. But Shue was adamant to point out his innocence in the matter. "I was just kidding around," he proclaimed. "He (Bross) didn't hear me right." According to Shue, Bross misunderstood what he said and began to yell and curse at him. The star player believed Bross was acting out of disrespect. "I was waiting for him to apologize to me," Shue explained. "He told me that it was just coaching." Shue did agree with Bross that this has been an ongoing conflict. They've been having problems since Shue's freshman year. Shue was very upset because he found out about his dismissal through the media before he was told by team officials. His parents were also informed by the local media in Dover, Pa., before Mike was told. Shue, who has now lost his scholarship, regrets that any of this had to happen. "I feel bad for my parents and my teammates because they've been so supportive." Shue explained. "Everything I've accomplished doesn't mean as much now. It really hurts." The successful guard broke the scoring record three weeks ago, but now that record will be fro:)en until another player comes in and breaks it. Shue's dream to play basketball after college is also in jeopardy. According to Shue, he's not the only player that has had problems with Bross. He was not happy with the basketball program when he got here his freshman year, but he was persuaded to stay by former head coach, David Blank. Ironically Blank himself resigned and then assistant coach Bross was appointed the position. Shue is doubtful for the future of the team. "He's not going to get players to play for him because they don't respect him," he explained. "If he wasn't coaching, we would've won the close games like Clarion and Edinboro." Bross was less critical of Shue however. "Mike's a very good player and a good friend to the other players on the team," he said. The future of the team is uncer'vn but Bross ensures they will have a much different look next year. Strikers win battle against Gettysburg by Dustin Miller Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_ The men's volleyball team exploded right from the start and swept a best of five series against Gettysburg in their last home game of the season on Sfinday. Lock Haven beat a rusty Gettysburg team with scores of 15-8, 15-7, and 15-5. Gettysburg, playing in its first match of the season, looked like an inexperienced team as LHU took advantage of their mistakes. Set number one of the series proved to be no contest for the Bald Eagles as they pulled out to a quick 7-1 start and held a comfortable lead throughout the rest of the set. Gettysburg could not seem to keep the ball in play on their serves and looked frustrated as the Haven had them running all over the court. Gettysburg opened up the second set with a 4-1 lead and looked like they might VOLLEYBALL have worked out the kinks, but the Bald Eagles went on a 13-0 run to put them up for good and dig a grave for Gettysburg. The third set looked like a replica of set one as LHU tore through the gates early with a 9-2 run and finished the sweep of Gettysburg. Brad McAninch was hitting the ball with authority all day long as he piled up seven kills and five blocks for the team. John Carlisle also hit the ball well contributing 10 kills and three blocks to help the team in their sweep of Gettysburg. LHU appeared to look like a well oiled machine on the court, but captain Jarod Christian did not think so. "We didn't execute well and we have to work on many of our mistakes," he said. McAninch agreed. "We were rusty. We have to make things run smoother and work on cutting out mistakes." Lock Haven, now 4-2, has 10 more games, all of which are on the road. The team's next match will be this Saturday at Bucknell against Bloomsburg and host Bucknell. But with all the road games coming up, this doesn't seem to bother Christian. He says that it is nice to play at home, but said it costs too much for them to pay the officials at home games. McAninch agreed, but added, "Even though a lot of fans don't show up for the games, we don't get intimidated, and we havfe lots of confidence which we may not have on the road." As for the season outlook, they feel they can finish in the top three or four in the league. Co-captain Scott Ranch said, "If we play to our full potential and play like we are capable of playing, we have a shot to finish second in the league." McAninch added, "We're definitely having lots of fun and making it exciting. I have a lot of confidence in the team and the outlook I give is two thumbs up." The players believe the team has lots of confidence and a good record, but the season is still young and they know they have a long road ahead of them. Friday, February 14, 1997 Eagle Eye 15 Ladies continue their losing ways by Chris Gemberling Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_ The Lady Eagles lost out to fate once again, as they dropped two games over the past week, along with their record to 8-14 on the year. The first came at the hands of California, who defeated the Haven by a score of 62-53 on a Senior Day that Shannon Bowers will remember. Bowers picked a great day for her coming out party. She finished the game with a double-double, leading the team in p)oints *with 15 and rebounds with 10. "Shannon had the best offensive performance of her entire career here tonight," commented Coach Frank Scarfo on Bowers'outstanding performance. Bowers sparked the team, down 18-9 at one point, with 11 points to keep the score 33-25 by the half, despite Cal shooting an impressive 50 percent from the field. The CU lead was cut to seven at various moments of the second half, but the Lady Eagles just couldn't put together a serious run at the lead. Becky Peter finished the game with 12 points, and Amy Nickles added 10 for another solid performance from the bench. "We lacked the experience down the stretch," said Scarfo. "If we could've taken care of the ball better it would've been a different game." Once again the Lady Eagles were hampered by injuries, with Missy Witters coming off of knee surgery, Kara Deats, and a hobbling Terri Johnson all watching from the bench. Going into the game on Wednesday night, the Lady Eagles needed to win their last three conference games to make a concrete bid for the post season. Fate, once again, bit the Lady Eagles in the tail feathers as they met up with a Shippensburg team that was 19-3 on the season, and came in Wednesday night riding a six game winning streak on Jam the Gym Night in Thomas Field House.

The Haven hung close at the half, only trailing 31-22 to the PSAC West power house. The second half was much the same once the Lady Eagles overcame their struggle to get out of the locker room. "We came out flat, and they took advantage," said Scarfo. Peter took over the second half from her natural position on the post, but it just was not enough. Peter has been playing well lately, but has been inhibited by her move to the power forward position, which is not Men's Basketball squad in their pre-game warm-up.

Eagle l HJ" liye 16 Eagle Eye Friday, February 14,1997 1 - Sports Kolat joins Centurians as grapplers win by Chris Nagy Eagle Eye Sports Reporter^ The Bald Eagle wrestling team returned home last weekend and welcomed two top 25 teams into Thomas Field House with victories in two very close matches. The Lehigh Engineers were the first team into the Held house on Friday night. Lehigh came into the match ranked 25th. Lock Haven won 20-19 thanks to bonus points. Both LHU and Lehigh won five matches on the evening, but bonus points at 118, 150 and 158 gave LHU the cushion they needed. Mike Kusick started it off for the Haven at 118 with a 13-1 major decision over Mike Sferra. Lehigh grabbed a 7-4 lead after a decision and a major decision at 126 and 134 respectively. LHU then sent up their 1-2-3 punch of Cary Kolat, Mike Rogers and Brian Leitzel. Kolat showed everyone why he is one of the most dominating wrestlers in the country with a 13-8 decision over Chris Ayres at 142. Kolat's win was number 99 on his career. Rogers showed Marat Vigdorchik the lights with a pin in 4:33 at 150. The win gave the grapples the lead, 13-7, and they never trailed from there. Captain Brian Leitzel scored a major decision at 158. With a little foreshadowing, the bonus point Leitzel picked up in this match was the winning margin. Down 17-7, Lehigh scored a decision at 167. Then Mike Guerin notched career win 98 with a 5-4 decision over John Van Doren at 177. Guerin's win put Lock Haven up by 10 at 20-10. The match was still in Lehigh's grasp, but Kevin Drew put a damper into Lehigh's victory plans with a 3-2 decision at 190 and did not give up any bonus points. Lehigh picked up a pin at heavyweight to make the final score 20-19. The 17th ranked Bald Eagles then invited the Panthers of Pittsburgh into Thomas Field House on Saturday night. The Bald Eagles won yet another close one 19-16. The same five wrestlers won for the Bald Eagles again with bonus points once again being the deciding factor. Kusick started the match off in an exciting fashion, winning 2-1 with a last-second takedown. Kusick was down 1 -0 at the end of the second period and then surprised everyone by choosing the neutral position to start the third jjeriod. "Mike wrestled that kid last year and he rode him out for the WRESTLING Lock Haven Pittsburgh . 19 16 whole two minutes. So we made the choice for him to be on his feet," said LHU Head Coach Carl Poff. "Mike sets the tone for us. He is wrestling well and is Siich a competetor." Lock Haven fell behind again after the 126 and 134 bouts, but Kolat quickly put Lock Haven back on top. Kolat pinned Mike Dixon in 2:33 for career win 100. More importantly it gave the Haven a 9-7 lead. Kolat become the second LHU wrestler to win career match 100 after Rogers hit the milestone two weeks ago in the PSAC championships. Forty-seven of Kolat's 100 wins have come from pins. Rogers scored a 15-6 major decision over Kevin Johnson at 150. Lock Haven now held a 13-7 lead over the Panthers. Leitzel increased the Bald Eagle lead after a 4-2 decision over Pitt's Jacob Schaus. The 167 bout was the most exciting of the night when Neil Barnes took nationally ranked John Withrow into overtime for a ride-out in which Withrow was on top and successfully rode out Barnes for the win. Guerin took a step closer to the 100 win milestone with a 6-1 decision over Bryan Matusic. The Bald Eagles held a 19-10 lead after the 177 bout. Drew lost another heartbreaking 3-2 decision at 190. ' The match came down to the heavyweight bout. Bill Bell lost a 3-1 decision but Lock Haven won the match 19-16^ • "We came into these matches thinking that who gets the bonus points would win. The same five guys won for us each night and these were two big wins for u..," said Poff. Clarion comes to Thomas Field House tonight, and they will not be bringing candy and flowers for the Bald Eagles. "Clarion is always a tough match. They have 4-5 guys that are good," added Poff. The grapplers will be hoping to turn this match into the Valentine's Day massacre. The action starts at 7:30 p.m. tonight with special attention being paid to the 177 bout as Guerin tries to become the third Bald Eagle wrestler this season to win career match 100. Guerin will become the 11th wrestler since 1980 to win 100 matches if he wins tonight. Wynings leads the Haven at Bucknell Invitational by Amy Yarger Eagle Eye Sports Editor_ A long day, tough competition and tired legs are all signs of a good track and field meet, and last Saturday's meet was no exception. The Bucknell Classic always proves to be one of the most competitive meets of the season. Despite the powerhouses which were represented, LHU had several place winners and many stellar perform£(hces. High jumper, Aaron Wynings was the highest place winner of the day. Wynings finished third in the field with a jump of 6'6". Wynings was edged out by only one jumper from the PSAC. Kyle Waite, a consistent point earner for Lock Haven, threw the shot put 46'5" to earn fifth place honors. Going the distance, Ben Steward was the final place winner for the men, finishing fifth in the 5000 meters with a time of 15:32. Steward's time was a f)ersonal record for him and good enough to bump him up to number three on Lock Haven's top five list. "It was by far the most tactical race I TRACK and FIELD have ever run," Steward commented. "If I can run another race like that, I believe I can break the record and qualify for the ECAC meet." Teammate, Alex Sherwood also ran his way into the 5000 meters top five list, taking the number four spot with a time of 16:23. The 500 meter school record fell when Andy Welk crossed the finish line with a time of 1:08.9. Welk won his heat of the 500 but fell shy of placing in the event. On the women's side, Amy Parkes was the Haven's highest place winner with her fourth place finish in her signature event, the 55 meter hurdles. Betsy Moore finished fifth in the high jump behind a field of Division I jumpers, with a leap of 5'4 1/2". The final place winner for the ladies came in the 55 meter dash with an eighth place finish for Tamara Vreeland in 7.68. The track team will travel to Cornell University in New York to compete in an invitational tomorrow. With her own unique talent and many awards, Katie Bonner is pulling the swim team out of the deep end and bringing them into the limelight. See her feature story on page 14.
