Students zoom into the Parsons Union Building (PUB) parking lot in high hopes of finding a spot before a 9:30 class. Good luck. Parking here on campus is one of the biggest free for all most have ever experienced, other than a general admission concert. Most students, especially those that arrive at the last minute, are scrounging to find a space to park their car, even playing a game with other wannabe parkers, by trying to get that last space before someone else does. How often does this scenario happen? Everyday, here at Lock Haven l ' w *'"* "* i ju> "** University. Who doesn't walk around any of the parking lots, including faculty and staff lots, and see at least five or more cars with little orange tickets stuck to their windshields? A total of $19,840 was made in parking decal revenue (this is from students buying parking decals) in 1998. Also in 1998, $47,371 was made in parking ticket revenue, an increase from 1997 ($40,608), and actually it was the highest it has ever been in the 1990s. The students who payed the most tickets last semester were, a male who had 66 tickets and a female who had over 30. How can students avoid this huge amount of revenue being made off of them? Richard Hepner, director ofLaw Enforcement, admitted that the University does not have spaces on campus for everyone who drives to park. "Students think that when they buy a decal (green) they will automatically have a space. All it is, is a privilege to hunt for a space." Another problem, he said, was that students don't hunt for a space in the allotted parking lot for their decal but instead look for any space, whether it be in the faculty and staff parking lot or in the purple parking lot. "Wherever they can get in, that is where they will park." Some students, especially commuters, he said, are their own worst enemies. "Some live within two blocks of campus and insist on driving to school." The lots never close at night so many in town commuter students keep their cars there all the time.

Now Taking Musicians learn to conduct underwater Susan Rutan The Lantern — Ohio State Universi(U-WIRE) COLUMBUS, Ohio ty Associate professor Richard Blatti never dreamed he would make such a big splash in the classroom with his unconventional teaching style. However, his techniques caught the attention of ABC's Peter Jennings, as well as local news stations. Realizing his novice conducting students were not quite interpreting his instructions to "pull taffy" or pretend "they were underwater," Blatti decid- — ed to give it a try literally. Blatti first took to the pool with his conducting class when he taught at a small, out-of-state college. "With water, it's virtually impossible to do it wrong," said Blatti, associate director of the symphonic band and associate like conducting, compared with what they should look like. Before bathing suits were required for the course, Blatti said students would comment about their choice of clothes for the day or their physical appearance when observing their own videotape. "A number of things happen psychologically when you take your clothes off," said Blatti. Now when the students watch their videotapes, they really see themselves. "You see you, and the essence of the class, which is movement," said Blatti. Blatti found, through a process of trial and error, that an Olympic-style pool was not conog&fcL \ ducive to teaching 20 students at varygwtfy | ing heights. The cool water temperaSJ also gave reason to look for altern/fa turc natives. Blatti now uses a heated thers X\ apy pool in Larkins Hall. The slanted floor accommodates both short and tall students.

As the students moved their batons underwater, the resistance allowed them to gain an immediate feel for the smooth legato style. Blatti found that by flicking water droplets off the tips of their batons, students also could capture short, crisp staccato motions. "When you get on the podium (to conduct), there's no place to hide," said Blatti. "There's no way to learn except to do it." Blatti initially intended to accomplish only one or two things, but now he incorporates many more lessons into the water sessions. "Music defies description," he said. "Music is where the words leave off." Blatti saic the purpose of the water-based lessons is to show the student "how it feels compared to how it looks." Most students are aware of the underwater sessions before enrolling in the course, but Blatti said he occasionally takes a few by surprise. The syllabus lists bathing suits as required material for the course. Some students fear the water, while others have health problems that prevent them from participating. Blatti said he does not force them to get in the pool, but encourages them to participate by lying on the ground along the edge of the water with one arm submerged so they can follow the lesson. At the beginning of the course, the students videotape themselves to get an idea of what they actually look t I j l*J I Blatti, now in his 10th year at OSU, said he could probably teach all 10 weeks in the pool, but because of jthe hassles that accompany getting in not practical. "The student evaluations always come back positive," said Blatti. Blatti has directed Jeff Hurt, a senior majoring in music education, for three years in the symphonic band. Hurt said he found the water lessons a worthwhile addition to the regular classroom exercises. "He (Blatti) puts all his effort in everything he does," said Hurt. In addition to his students, colleagues have been accepting of his unconventional teaching style from the beginning. Blatti has demonstrated his creative teaching technique at Bowling Green State University, but his method extends far beyond Ohio's borders. He has traveled to Colorado, Minnesota and Australia showing others the benefits of his creativity. His dedication to teaching has not gone unnoticed. Blatti was honored with the School of Music Distinguished Teaching Award, and in March of 1998 he was also inducted into the prestigious American Bandmasters Association.

Moving off campus is probably one of the most exciting and interesting times of your college career. It's , also one of the most educating cxperiences you can possibly imagine. Last year, my friends and I decided to get out of North Hall and find a house to call our own. We found one that was perfect, well almost. We couldn't walk through the front living room because there was so much stale beer on the floor our feet were stuck to the cracking imitation parquel floor. (There had been a fraternity living there for the semester.) When we finally made our way to the kitchen, the hole in the middle of the floor immediately caught our eye. But, the house had character and a lot of potential and with many promises made by our landlord (and a very cheap rent), we signed the lease With newly carpeted floors and painted walls this was the house of our dreams, or so we thought. Our first problem arose when our toilet upstairs began to leak through the ceiling. We thought the problem was taken care of only to have n hap pen at least five more times throughout the past seven months. But, it makes for an interesting night when the toilet explodes and we're able to fill a bucket in our living room with yellow liquid. We're waiting for the floor to cave in like in the "Money We knew immediately who was responsible and so we retaliated, sort of.

But these are all little life-lessons we're being taught each and every day. Dealing with people is something everyone needs learn how to do. But living off campus is also an experience of learning how to live independently of everything. You have to learn how to cook, clean, deal with to last us a lifetime..

Many men who find themselves victims often question their own manhood and the reaction friends and family many have. At our shelter we only house women and children. This is because most victims (95 percent) arcwomen and to bring a man into the primary liveing quarters may be very traumatic for some women. However, we will house men elsewhere in the community if they arc in need of shelter for safety reasons. MYTH: The Center forces people to get a Protection From Abuse (PFA). Most people who obtain PFAs through the Center were talked into getting the order by the staff. FALSE. The Center has never and would never talk someone into getting a PFA. This would go against the Center's primary concept of Empowerment Counseling. Also know n as Options Counseling, the idea is to five the client all the options available to them and let the client make the best possible choice for themselves. Many times victims of domestic violence have not been allowed to make certain decisions for themselves. The Center wants their clients to take control of their own lives. Another reason why this is important can be illustrated in the following scenario: Client A comes to the center to discuss obtaining a PFA against their abusive partner. After a staffmember explains what a PFA is. how it works and how to obtain one, Client A decides that a PA will keep them safe. Client B also comes to the Center to discuss obtaining a PFA. Again, the PFA has been thoroughly explained, but this time Client B is concerned that a PFA may incite anger in their partner and more than likely the partner will not abide by the PFA. In short, the PFA in this case may put Client B in danger. The client may choose not to get a PFA and opt to safety plan, relocate or come into the shelter. The bottom line is that every client who receives services from the center makes their own decisions. After all. they know their partner better than the staff, so the client has a better understanding of what type of reaction to expect. This gives the client the power to make choices for themselves. MYTH: The staff of the Center hate men. The Center is out to destroy everv marriage in the county. FALSE: The Staff does not hate men. The majority of the stal l members are married or are in a relationship. And there is no secret agenda to break up every marriage in the county. Our only agenda: to provide information and options to clients so that our clients can stay safe and free from violence. MYTH: The Center is an ex- tremely secretive place. FALSE. Well, this is true to an While we try to be a very public in disseminating information, we are tight-lipped about our clients. All of our services are confidential. If someone calls the shelter looking for a friend or family member, we will not acknowledge knowing the individual. We will not share information with our agencies in the community about any of our clients. The exception to this is if we have a signed Consent to Release Information Form from our client telling us who we can share information with and what type of information we can share. Why do we do this? For safety. If someone calls looking for Client A and we state that Client A is in the shelter the call may in turn inform the client's abusive partner. People who come into the shelter are there for one main reason: They are in fear. They may be afraid of more abuse or of being killed by their partner. We will not violate the trust they put into us for maintaining their confidentiality and then safety. MYTH: Domestic violence realextent. ly isn't a problem in Clinton County. False: Domestic violence is definitely a problem in Clinton County. Our statistics for last fiscal year show that we provided services for over 1,200 women, children and men. And a large number of domestic violence victims do not come forward. So these numbers only a small number of the actual victim- ization actually occurring. And why do many victims live with the violence in their homes instead of coming forward? There is the stigma attached to being a battered woman. Economic reasons play a large part. Let's say that a client has two children and is in an abusive marriage. This client wants out of the marriage, however, he/she may not have access to transportation. Clinton County is extremely rural and has little to offer in the way of affordable public transportation.. This client has to find a job that will cover the rent, utilities, transportation and perhaps child care. The job market in Clinton County is diff icult at best. And if the client has been a stay at home mother for many years or needs to learn more skills for a job, leaving the marriage may seem even more overwhelming than staying. Domestic violence also has long been labeled as "family problems." There is a belief that assault within a relationship is acceptable because it is the way families have dealt with problems for generations. Violence within the family is never accept able. Many people do not want to pry into their neighbors business when they witness family violence. But what if someone dies as a result of a "family problem?'' It's a com- munity problem that has to be addressed. It's teaching our children that when you have a problem it's acceptable to solve the problem with violence Sharee Rodkc Community Educator Do you have anything to say about IMU or life in general?

This week was an exception though, as I came head to head with the first case of writer's block that I've ever had. As the deadline approached. I started to get worried, but instead of getting overzealous about the situation, I took a little break to catch a hockey game on ESPN. One of the commentators, who I absolutely despise, started spouting his mouth about who was playing well in the league and who wasn't playing up to par. He called it the "Who's Hot or Not" segment and it instantly reminded mc of the conversation I had last weekend with a friend of mine, hence destroying my writer's block.

The only ditference now is that some of the chalky Sweetheart candies say "WWW.LOVE" or "EMAIL ME" whereas we were limited to low-tech messages such as "TOO COOL" or "UR MINE." Buck Rogers isn't stocked on the supermarket shelves anymore but there are Star Wars cards with pictures 0 f Artoo Detoo accompanied by the romantic, droid pickup line, "I bet you whistle at all the droids." And for the truly romantic out in third-grade land, there are cards with pictures of Chewbacca that say, "Let the Wookie win!" and with Princess Leia that say, "You're my only hope!" But in an elementary school across town, there's a classroom filled with third graders who still know that girls are ,made of sugar and spice and everything nice and that boys are made of lizards and snails and puppy dog tails. This Friday, they'll go from chair to chair depositing Valentine's Day cards in their classmates' lovingly decorated brown paper bags Scotch-taped to the back of each chair. Some girls may even catch icky boy germs. And if all goes well, some unlucky boy will go running home to his mother that day, smitten with a severe case of the cooties. Each student will have a valentine and everyone will feel a little special. Mouse... More from the Milton Love should never hurt of do- the we to Dear Editor: Cupid's arrows don't always hit the happily-ever-after mark. Somelimes "love hurts." Many times the "hurl" isn't about broken hearts. It's about broken bones, broken homes and broken communities. Permanent emotional scars and life-threatening injuries are not about love-they are products of domestic violence. This violence occurs within an intimate relationship, adult or adolescent, and is characterized by blatant disregard for an individual's rights, body and health. Make no mistake, there's nothing romantic about possessiveness, jealousy and control. A myriad of misconceptions about domestic violence abound—including stereotypes about who the victims and their batterers are, which neighborhoods they live in, and why the abuse takes place. Domestic violence occurs in every community regardless of age, race, ethnicity, mental or physical ability, sexual orientations, socioeconomic status and religious background. Victims come from all walks of life but most are women who suffer physical, sexual, emotional and economic abuse at the hands of someone they love and trust. Like their victims, there is no psychological profile of batterers. Generally, they are not violent in any area of their lives outside the home. A 1995 John Hopkins University School of Medicine survey of 2,000 anonymous patients found that one of ever three women had experienced domestic violence as a child or an adult. A 1995 Gallup survey re- vealed that 40 percent of the girls interviewed (ages ranging from 14-17) said they had a friend their own age who had been abused by a boyfriend. This epidemic of crime deprives women—our mothers, daughters, sisters and friends-of their fundamental right to maintain control over their own lives. Without appropriate intervention, the abuse increases in frequency and severity over time and, as a result, can rob us of the people we care about most. Newspaper reports throughout Pennsylvania indicate that one woman or child dies every three days in the Commonwealth as the result of a domestic-violent homicide. While these reports do not reflect the total number of deaths resulting from domestic violence in any given year, tonomy, justice and resources they they do serve as an indication of the desperately need and deserve.

Her first two albums, Tuesday Night Music Club and Sheryl Crow, both show an experienced and talented musician honing her craft. The result of this sharpening is a brilliant, energetic, emotional album, The Globe Ses sums. i 1' :' *-'- mJBf^m Occasionally an artist comes along that reminds us all rock is not dead. In the of the Backstreet and the Spice Girls, Sheryl Crow stands out from the crowd like a guitar-wielding gem forced to live in a pile of manure. This past summer during her stint on the Lilith Fair tour, Crow showed the music world that she had more balls than than a driving range. Crow's 1998 release of The Globe Sessions ushered in a wave of fresh air that served as confirmation that rock is certainly not dead. This album is the work of a master craftsman with its mix of introspective tunes, ballsy rockers and guitar-pop songs. The album runs the entire spectrum of feelings from sassy ("It Don't Hurt") to emotional ("Maybe That's Something") and from powerful ("Members Only") to delicate ("Crash and Burn"). The Globe Sessions is a great rock album in the same vein as classic Rolling Stones records. This connection becomes apparent on the second song of this album"There Goes the Neighborhood." The loose, filthy-guitar riffs conjure images of Keith Richards and the sing-along chorus that is accompanied by a horn section kick the mood into high gear. One listen to this jammer and the notion that rock is dead will begin to fade away. The first single released form this album- "My Favorite Mistake"- shows her ability to blend a ballsy guitar riff with sing-along choruses resulting in a radiofriendly rocker. Another tune that exhibits Crow's ability to create a ripping tune that is friendly to the ears is "Anything but Down." Her larynx-shredding vocals suit the filthy-gui- The recording industry is currently in a state of shambles. Many bands that were expected to be the next big thing just didn't pan out. The record labels are also weary about allowing an artist time to develop into fruition. Sheryl Crow is an exception to this rule. Her abilities as both songwriter and musician have preferred her the opportunity to spread her wings artistically. Crow's combination of talent anil hard work have earned her respect among her idols from the world of classic rock. Bob Dylan even penned one of the songs on this album, "Mississippi." This song was an outtake from Dylan's album Time out of Mind. "Mississippi" walks the fine line between rock and country music resulting in a rootsy masterpiece. While Crow is influenced heavily from the past, she manages to create a sound that is completely her own. The result is a fresh energetic brand ofrock music. Neil Young sang "Hey, hey, my, my rock and roll will never die," and Sheryl Crow has proven that, for the time, being rock is not dead. Sheryl Crow is a talented tunesmith who can mix intelligent, yet emotional lyrics with catchy, yet dirty-guitar riffs. As long as she can do this while retaining her own unique vision of energetic and fresh sounding music, she will serve as living proof talent can thrive in the music industry. The Globe Sessions continues to serve as a refreshing confirmation that rock is not dead! Page 8 February 12, 1999 The Eagle Eye To dream a little dream about nothing Shonda Smith Eagle Eye Features Editor sought out to find explanations. The mind can be subjective or objective, depending what kind of a state it is in. When people are awake and the influences of others are upon them, as well as their entire upbringing, then they act and think in a objective manner. It is when the mind is at rest during sleep that the subjective impressions can be placed upon you. This is more of a knowledge through senses. It is said that when you wake up in the morning, the first thing you are to think about is what you dreamt about the night before. From speaking with people who remember dreams frequently, I have found this to be true. The times that they remember is when they wake up before the alarm goes off, or when they get to sleep in and almost daydream. Even if you do remember what you dreamt about the night before, you may only remember little parts of it. Trying to fit these pieces together isn't always the easi- I looked behind me to see if he was still chasing me and continued to keep running. I could feel my heart beating faster and faster. My legs felt like jello and I didn't know how they managed to support my body. I just prayed that I would be able to get away from this person; I longed for a sense of peace that I hadn't felt in such a long time. I kept running. 1 didn'trecognize where I was but I knew that I needed to get away from whoever was chasing me. I glanced behind me and he was gaining on me. I felt him getting closer and closer. Then I woke up. Dreams can be so crazy. Sometimes you know you are dreaming and you tell yourself that, but it still doesn't manage to lessen the sense of reality accompanied with most dreams. Dreams have been analyzed by people est of tasks. since the beginning of time.

This summer I came across a book titled 10,000 Dreams Interpreted - An Illustrated Guide to Unlocking the Secrets of Your Dreamlife, by Gustavus Hindman Miller. This book takes an analytical approach to deciphering the meaning behind dreams and how dreams could foretell upcoming events in your life. It is a practical explanation to many dreams that seem unexplainable. Here are a few of the dreams I found in the book that frequently occur in the minds of people. not remembering Sex - To dream you are having or have had a pleasurable sexual experience, denotes happiness and contentment in your personal relationships.

Three years ago the release of "Jagged Little Pill" marked the emergence of Alanis Morissette as one of the most distinctive and influential performers of the decade. On the strength of the break-out single "You Oughta Know," the album reached platinum status and the Top 10. Follow-up singles "Hand in My Pocket," "All I Really Want" and "Ironic" kept "Jagged Little Pill" on the album charts the next two years, ultimately selling 15 million copies. Morissette was showered with industry awards for "Jagged Little Pill," including Grammy Awards for Album of the Year, Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Album. Her much anticipated followup, "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie," is an extraordinary blend of razor-sharp lyrical insights and passionate melodies that marks the next leap forward in Alanis' growth as an artist.

What's worse is psycho guys call me an pester me to the point of insanity. I never get what i want! How do I fix this? Sick of Psychos — Dear Sick, I have heard many people, especially girls, complain about this situa- tion. I guess we should define a psycho before we do anything or I offer any advice. If you feel that a psycho is a guy who tries really hard to be nice and make you feel comfortable, you are wrong and the guy is simply a person you don't like at all. It doesn't mean he's a psycho. On the other hand, if a guy follows you around, gets mad when you speak to other guys or is straight mean to you, that is closer to what a psycho is. Maybe you are the type of person who isn't content with what they have and if that's the case then you'll never be happy until you are not only content with your companion but yourself too. It seems that you want things you can't have or you just pick people that you are compatible with. As for the psycho thing, if he's really a psycho and not a guy trying too hard, get out of it. However, if you want things that are more of a challenge maybe you should look at your own desires before you label someone a psycho. — Dr. Ruse -Dr. Ruse will return next week with more problems to try to solve for others.

"I know, "that some of you may be sick of this song. I don't listen to the radio, so I never get sick of this song. It's called Crash." Since all of the songs were played acoustically, he didn't play many of the songs that require a lot of other instruments. Instead, he played more romantic, slower songs than usual, capturing the crowd with renditions that they have never heard of "Crush," "Don't Drink the Water," "Cry Freedom Cry," "Spoon" and "Dancing Nancies."

Most fans though, just yelled out the songs that they wanted to hear and sometimes Matthews complied. The song, by the way, was "Say Good-bye," off his second album "Crash." Another member of the audience stated, "This show was great because you got to hear how truly talented Dave and Tim Reynolds are, it is not just the studio doing all the work. Tonight Dave sounded better than any live or studio production I have ever seen."

It's all at the resorts of Outdoor World. Outdoor World is a resort that has locations in Chicago as well as up and down the East Coast from Maine to Florida and offers a chance to enjoy the outdoors as well as various outdoor recreational activities. With a small membership fee, only around $150 per year, members have the option to either rent a Recreational Vehicle (RV). park their own RV at a camp site at no additional charge, or pitch a tent at a campsite, also free of charge. At peak time, the most expensive rental units only run about $95 per night. The cabin-looking luxury loft, the unit with the most impressive features, includes a master bedroom; bathroom; full-functioning kitchen; spacious living room, complete with a pull-out couch; a stairway to the upper loft, which comfortably sleeps four adults and six children; snack counter with stools; bay windows; and french doors leading to a large the resort demonstrates how it caters to the true outdoor individual as well as the less-daring outdoor individuals. Now, you may be wondering what else that membership fee includes. For starters, each resort includes a very large man-made lake complete with a beach, numerous lounge chairs, canoes, and paddle boats; nature trails; volleyball, tennis, and basketball courts; two inground pools; convenience store; game room; night club; miniaturegolf course; and, at some resorts, an indoor water amusement park. Another benefit to Outdoor World is that it is a year-round resort. For example, at the nearby Pocono Mountain Scotrun Resort in Tannersville, Pa., the winter attracts skiing tourists, but tourists find themselves there in the spring, summer and fall as well. Other Pennsylvania resorts include Timothy Lake, also in the Poconos; Circle M in Lancaster; Pennsylvania Dutch Resort, 25 miles west of Lancaster; and Gettysburg Farm Resort in Gettysburg, Pa. The other resorts are all strategically placed along the East Coast so that any traveler making his/her way on a journey can be sure that they have a home away from home. Whether you are staying in Portland, Boston, Cape Cod, Washington, D.C., the Poconos, Williamsburg, the Jersey Shore, or Orlando, an Outdoor World resort is nearby. Overall, Outdoor World is a good investment and provides you with a deck. outdoor activities to enjoy. cluster of Other units include the two bedWhether you are with family or room deluxe, the log loft deluxe, the friends', looking for winter, spring, economy, the standard and a choice summer, or fall activities; or just of two dream suites. want to relax and enjoy the outdoors, Although these units seem as Outdoor World is the place for you. though they are the furthest things from the real outdoors, waking up in the morning and stepping out onto For more your private deck with nothing but forests around you gives you the sense that you truly are in the "out- / OUTDOOR WORLD locations: _Moody Beach Resort WMoody, Maine Resort 77. \ ■ ™Sturbridge, Massachusetts m\Cape Cod Resort Rochester, Massachusetts i : Hartford l^*on J Countrty Resort 0Pine Belvidere, Illinois f -\ & Shore Resort 0Lake Ocean View.

I was glad I'd booked a plane for the ride home. I stood at the foot of Pike's Peak and looked up at its great up-thrust of earth and stone. The glaciers hadn't gotten this one. I set my pack down and checked my equipment-sleeping bag, tent, food, water, clothing, flashlight, blah, blah, blah. I hadn't forgotten my toothbrush either. * Boat Rentals * Mountain Biking quired to rent the units, the beauty of Pike's Peak looked like a giant anthill as the dirty school bus hurtled west on the gravel highway. We were packed in like sardines and I held my backpack tightly to my chest since the storage areas were occupied by everyone else's necessities. A young copper-haired yuppie woman kept getting up and reaching into her four thousand pound suitcase to be certain her hairdryer hadn't been forgotten, or that little makeup compact hadn't fallen out at the last pit stop. I kept thinking, obsessive-compulsive. The bus bounded nervously teetering on two wheels, or so it felt. We negotiated turns through the mountains. Finally, I was reaching my destination. "Pikes Peak!" called the driver, much to my satisfaction. I planted my bag into the isle and stood for the first time in five long hours. My knees popped from the lack of movement and I was glad that I was getting out of this death machine. I swung my bag up onto my shoulders and headed for the door, not without first informing the obsessive-compulsive yuppie that she dropped her toothbrush in the parking lot when we first left. She stared at me like it was my fault and I chuckled under my breath as I stepped off the bus.

I picked up a hand full of the stuff and fashioned a snowball. I pulled my Kool-Aid from my backpack and sprinkled some of the pink powder onto the lily-white ball. The snow and sugar dust melted in my mouth in a fabulous marriage of taste and texture. If you like snowcaps, you've got to try this. I call it a "Sno-Cone sans ma- chine." The whole time while I was concentrating on the grueling task of walking I had forgotten that I was getting closer to the top of this damn thing. I held the remainder of my treat to my lips and looked up. There it was...the peak. I now realized how Pike felt as he was about to conquei this irregular landmass. Adrenaline rushed to every limb and my legs forgot that they hurt. I realized I was running and figured, hey, why not? I concentrated my destination on a rude Hawaiian shirt adorned with palm trees and dancing natives in grass skirts, worn by a pasty-white tourist, rumpling lightly in the wind. Old people with those huge black space glasses were snapping pictures of this crazy kid running up the mountain with a backpack on, and the park rangers weren't sure if I was a tourist or a terrorist. I got to the top and caught my breath. The fat guy in the Hawaiian shirt came over and informed me that there was an easier way to get to the top. I told him I reasoned as much. He jiggled away laughing. I dropped my pack and took a look around. The air was cold and bit at my flesh. The mountains surrounded me and the sheer vastness of the open country was rather awe-inspiring. All around me were snowcovered mountains, and below that, forest.

The 6 foot 3 inch, 180 pound Mills, who has personal bests of six feet eight and one quarter inches in the high jump, 23 feet, 8 inches in the long jump and 45, feet 7 1/2 inches in triple jump, will be significant contributions to the men's Head Coach Mark Elliston adds, "Jeff has the ability to sweep all three jumping events and has a good shot at the school records." Jefffirst began his track career in the eighth grade, which led to the breaking of numerous records at Everett High School. He owns the school records there in all threejumps and was a member of the 4x100 meter relay, which also owns the school record. "It seemed like I broke a record at every meet I competed in." Mills said. "I even remember breaking g three in one meet." Mills qualified for the state meet in both his junior and senior years. His senior year at states, he won the long jumpand finished fourth in the triple jump. After graduating, Mills was recruited to Shippensburg University where he continued to break records in the jumps. He also qualified for nationals in the high jump his freshmen year and then in the long jump his sophomore year. His jumps of 6 feet 8 and 1/4 inches in the high jump and 23 feet, eight inches in the long jump both weren't enough to send him to nationals though, for the conference can only send the top eight athletes in the events. His sophomore year, Jeff was denied a trip by just one place. Mills can only look into the future now, which looks very promising for him at Lock Haven. "We're very glad to have Jeff," said Elliston, "He is a very talented athlete and will help out this team significantly" Assistant Coach Tracy Muthler added, "Jeff has been working very hard to adjust to the training here, which is different to what he was used to at Ship." Mills is constantly getting atteni tion from the coaches, which is a big turn around for him. "Ship was more distance oriented," said Mills, "and I pretty much had to coach myself." Jeff will continue to compete in all three jumping events and will also be part of the 4x100-meter relay. gi He also hopes to run an occasional 100 and 200-meter race. "1 have an enormous amount of confidence and that really helps me," explains Mills. "If I have a bad day, I'll bounce right back and come out with a great performance at the next meet. I don't ever let abad performance get me down." Jeff has already qualified for this year's ECAC Indoor Championships Junior Jeff Mills jumped Ship and climbed aboard with in all three jumping events.

Leading the way for Lock Haven was Senior guard Tara Macciocco. Macciocco racked up a game high 24 points in eight shots and broke a Lock Haven University record for the most 3pointers in one game. "It feels good," Macciocco said. "It was a goal the team talked about. Everyone did a great job getting me the ball." And the Lady Eagles' goal was definitely met with the help of the whole team. Everyone got in and everyone scored. Lock Haven quickly jumped out in front with a 3pointer from Junior Missy Witters and also a few made foul shots by forwards Mandy Shall and Tanya Brown. The Lady Eagles kept increasing their lead throughout the first part of the half. By the 9:19 mark, the score was 36-11 Lock Haven. Columbia Union did not put any more points up on the board for the rest of the half. The Lady Eagles were not done however. With the help of some key players such as Holly Young, Brianna Bair, and of course Macciocco, who had five of her eight 3-pointers in the first half. The Haven increased their score to 59-11 by the first buzzer. After the break, the Lady Eagles came out just as strong with a jumper by Sophomore Shawna Boyd and a layup by Brown. They were both assisted by junior guard Rachel Ebeling. Lock Haven continued to add to their score in the second half with several fast breaks and full court passes from the whole team. Macciocco's last three 3-pointers came within less than one minute. At the 3:50 mark she hit the eighth one breaking the University's record. All three were made possible with assists from Ebeling. Ebeling ended the game with nine assists. Some other highlights came from sophomore forward Stacy Herlocher who grahbed ten rebounds, and fellow guard sophomore Bair who poured in The Lady Eagles lost a heartbreaker Wednesday night to NCAA East Region No. 2 ranked Shippensburg University in overtime 101-96 at Thomas Field House. Lock Haven came out strong winning the opening tip and converting it into a layup by senior standout Tara Maccioco three seconds into the game. The Lady Eagles put up a 8-0 run until 15:59 in the first half" when The Lady Raiders came out of nowhere to make it a close game. The Lady Eagles were plagued by fouls early in the half but made up for it with their outstanding passes, fast breaks, and team play. With these factors, The Haven made another 8-0 run forcing Shippensburg to call its first 20 second time-out at the 8:59 mark directly after a 3-pointer by Haven Junior guard Missy Witters. The score was 25-15 Lock Haven.

Ruiz Eagle Eye Sports Editor The Bald Eagles came out, dare I say "en fuego," last Wednesday night as they took out the visiting Red Raiders of Shippensburg University 92-83. putting an end to a losing streak that has plagued them since December 12, just one game shy of a baker's dozen.

Ship came in with a 7-16 overall record and a 1-8 conference mark and left one game worse for the wear. "Coach Bross challenged us before the game," said point guard Stan Potts. "He wanted us to come into the half with nothing left, so we gave it all we had. We were due for a win." This was the Haven's most balanced attack of the season. All but one of the eight players who made appearances scored at least three points with six of those eight hitting from long range. "We did a great job boxing out Morris and Anderson (Ship)," said Porrata, "allowing Stan to come from the top of the key to grab the you are ahead.

As everyone got in on the action, LHU pulled away, leading by as many as 19 points midway through the first frame.
