River seeps over banks;
Evacuation Centers opened

Bridge.

By Hank Zdun
It was a night of vigil as the Susquehanna
River spilled over its banks..
Kesioents living along the river watched
as heavy rains and melting snows mixed to
turn the river into a swelling and dangerous
hazard.
According to Joseph Querela, coordinator of Emergency Management in Clinton County, the river crested at 7 a.m.
Wednesday at 22.50 feet, just over the 21
foot flood stage mark. However, Querela
added that the damage to the area could
have been far worse if the river had crested
at the expected 24 or 25 feet.

Quercia's only response was that the city
of Lock Haven had "Lucked-out".
The Department of Emergency Services
received over 200 calls for assistance or
rescues since the heavy rains began Tuesday
afternoon but, by the next afternoon, the
majority of calls involved assistance with
flooded basements and run-off.
Red Cross Opens Centers
According to officials at the American
Red Cross, evacuation centers were opened
just after the river passed the flood stage
mark. Many living in low Ivinn areas took
refuge in Dickey Elementary School on
South Farview Street, the Dunnstown Fire
Hall and Bald Eagle Nittany High School
because the flooding had caused furnaces to
malfunction leaving residents without heat.
Flood Waters Receed
By Wednesday evening, as flood waters
receded, the evacuation centers were closed.

Community and students
work together to avert
tragic effects of flooding
By Jean Newcomer
and Kelly Peluso
Rains fell throughout the day as streams and creeks began to swell. By late afternoon
on Tuesday, Lock Haven had been issued a flood warning that threw the city into an
uproar.
As the Susquehanna river began to creep upwards towards the top of it's banks, forcasters predicted that the river would crest somewhere around 24 or 25 feet. Lock
Haven has a flood stage mark at 21 feet.
Throughout the night, students from the College worked hand-in-hand with members
of the community. Furniture from local businesses and homes were moved to the second story.
Brothers give helping hand to Fallon Hotel/Motel
At the Fallon Hotel/Motel, Brothers from Phi Mu Delta and Kappa Delta Rho along
with members of the Campus ROTC Unit helped employees move furniture out of
flood prone areas. Though guests were encouraged to stay and were in no danger.
Larry Kephart. owner of the Fallon Hotel/Motel commented. "The worst that could
h ppen would be that we'd be forced to turn off the heat, and we've got plenty of Jf
blankets."
In some cases, the heat was indeed turned off, as many off-campus students found
out. The night was cold but, as the basements of many homes began to fill with water,
the danger of exposing vulnerable furnaces to the cold water forced landlords to shutdown the heating systems.
Fire and Rain
Lock Haven Catholic Elementary School moved everything that wasn't nailed down
out of the building. This is the same building that suffered a bout with fire just last
Easter. They just didn't want to take any chances.
But some places like Addie's Card Shop moved few things, however, owner of the
shop, Addie Renaldi stated that, "We disconnected all the electrical devices and there's
a truck on stand-by if we need to move the glass cu •.>;;."
Others in the area felt little fear of a flood as they met in restaurants for a quiet meal
or conversation.
PUB prepares for flooding
The Parsons Union Building (PUB) prepared for the worst as volunteers from various
'Organizations gathered to clear out the lower level of the buildingi,
The excitement turned to a rush to local stores tor Dreaa ana cigarettes. Gasoline
became desired commodity as cars lined-up outside of pumps waiting to fill tanks in
case of a possible evacuation.
The College students and the community seemed to have found a common understanding as they worked together to avert a crisis. A local fireman summed-up the cooperation by saying, "The College students have done a hell of a job!"

Fraternity parties raise debate at forum
By Jean Newcomer
The President's open forum yesterday in
Sloan theatre focused on two major concerns of the college community. The quality
of students attending LHU and the beer
parties thrown by fraternities were the hot
topics.

Donald Day, a professor of the history,
political science and economics departiiient. Drought up the problem ot trateiiiity
beer parties. He spoke as a concerned
parent, fraternity member, and a person
stricken by the tragedy of alcohol abuse.
His father was disabled for four years by a
drunk leaving a fraternity party. Day said,
"The fraternities have lost sight of their
purpose, which is to enhance the quality of
life on campus."

Some professors feel that LHU has
become a party college and the better
Students are turning away.
Bernard Dornisch, mathematics pro- ^
fessor, is afraid that undergraduates are being put on the back burner, particularly the
freshmen.

"The fraternities iiave lost sight of their
purpose, which is to enhance the quality of
life on campus."
Donald Day

Dornisch said adult students are now being drawn to the university and are offered
a small class situation where the professors
can give them more advice. Undergraduates
are put in classes of approximately 40 people, and are given very little advice about
which classes to take and when. Decisions
are being made without consideration to the
students needs, according to Dornisch.
Dornisch said, "Policies have to be made
with the students in mind, lets get the job
done now and think of the students."

Day feels the members are fine young
men separately but collectively they lose the
sense of their priorities both academically
and socially.

Steamline project almost complete
By Kelly Peluso
Phase one of the $200,000 steamline
replacement project that will result in fuel
saving for the university is almost complete,
said George Marshall, vice president of the
administration.
The project was approved by the state
two years ago, but setbacks kept it from being started until this year. Marshall said
that initial delays were because important
papers were lost.
After the project got started, other problems arose. The Standing Store
Mechanical Contractors from Huntington,
Pa. won't be meeting their deadline.
"The reason for the delav in the
steamline operation was that the drawings
frotn the state authorities weren i
accurate," Marshall said. This caused them
to change their plans 'midstream,' taking
more than their time allottment. He said the

sub-zero temperatures also had a hand in
inhibiting their progress.
Marshall said the completion of the project is imperative for monetary reasons.
"These boilers use huge quantities of gas,
oil, and water, hitting the sum of $835,000,
to feed them." In a cold winter like this one
the cost of heating could reach $900,000.
In the second phase, the boiler house will
be torn up and repaired.with the 23 thousand dollars appropriated to them due to
the mistake in plans. He said that the final
stage would be the completion of the other
half of the campus which is a million dollar
project.
Marshall said the million dollar plan
needed for the final phase was sent to the
capital budget for the governor's signature.
"If this final stage is carried out, it will bring this campus up to snuff," Marshall
said.

Leadership programs are slated
By Jean Newcomer
The Leadership Training Series has been
designed for all students interested in
developing their leadership skills. These
skills will also be useful for student leaders
involved in the various groups and
organizations on campus.
Similar programs were offered last
semester and Judy Rinella, Assistant Dean
of students for Student Life, feels they were
successful. This semester, she has involved
many people from the community as well as
the University.
Rinella hopes each program will help
students to develop a different area of
leadership and management so that clubs
and organizations can benefit from the information.
Exploration and development of communication skills will be lue lotus of Marcia Butland's program on communication
skills. Butland, hall director of Woolridge,
will help students to learn how to communicate with others in a leadership environment. This program will be presented
on Tuesday, Feb. 21 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
in the Sullivan Hall Board Room on the
third floor.

Some alternatives to the problem which
were discussed were J o stop fraternity oarties altogether, find another way to raise
money, restrict parties to non-school nights
or possibly consider limiting attendence at
parties to members and their guests only.
According to Day since parties and
drinking are available to students almost
every night of the week classes are being filled with zombies, if they come at all. Day
asked, "Is it right for fraternities to sell

Other workshops which will be offered
during the semester are: Money Management, which is geared toward treasurers and
presidents of organizations. Basic money
management will be taught and students
will learn the proper procedure for setting
up a budget and requesting funds from the
S.C.C.
Important skills and traits that will help
you to h*" an effective leader will be discussed during the Women in Leadership Positions workshop which will be offered on the
International Women's Day. However, this
workshop is not for women only. Virginia
Martin, and English professor, along with
two women from the American Association
for University Women will present this program.
Many clubs and. organizations ask,
"How do we get new members and keep the
old ones?" This and many other aspects of
recruitment will be the topic of the
workshop,
Recruitment/Retention
presented by Robert Lynch, Assistant to the
Vice President for Administration.
For more information and specific dates
for these programs, pick up a Leaderships
Development pamphlet or contact the student life office.

Day said neither the fraternities or the
school are doing their job of improving the
name of the school. The Faculty and staff
ignore the problem and it continues. Day
said "LHU gets the losers and someone le
else gets the best."

alcohol to mostly minors and stay open?
What's next, a whorehouse on second
floor?"
"The fraternities, sororities and the
university have to work toward a common
goal for the good of everyone," said one
professor.
Day said the recent flood scare did show
that there is hope for the fraternity system
and maybe it is a start toward reestablishing
what fraternities and sororties are all about.

Students fail to return to school
By Kelly L. Peluso
Some students didn't return this semester. Why? According to Dr. John Zaharis, vice
president of administration, "some students stop to work a semester to pay for the next
one." Other's graduated and some flunked.
He said there's always that percentage of students that flunk out of school because of
parental influence over their education. Some students are pushed into school with
parents pressure situations. Students try to show their parents that they can't handle it.
"For two years now we've had special administration requirements in management
science and computer science. We already expect more of them by their background requirements. We've turned away a few students without these requirements. This ensures
the students involved in the curriculum probable success," said Dr. Zaharis. "These are
the two toughest majors in the curriculum."
"Thenumber of students not returned this year is the same as last year," according to
Zaharis. "We graduated 150 students last semester. This has been normal attrition for
the last three years."
Dr. Zaharis said that the school grade average earned by all students has been getting
lower over the years. Zaharis attributes this mainly to the faculty's higher expectations
of the students.
Students of Lock Haven University need to do more work in the library researching
than most schools do. According to Mr. Robert Bravard, director of the library, the use
of library materials by students with regard to the number of books to the number of
students is ranked third highest in the 14 state owned institutions.
"An 'A' today is harder to achieve than yesterday but it's worth more," said Zaharis.

Students huddle under a cluster of umbrellas outside Robinson Hall after a fire alarm
forced them to evacuate the building.

Bad situation brings Oscar Wilde play staged

community togettier

By Andrew Ashenfelter
The Olde Town Theatre, a community
dinner-theatre, will be presenting an Oscar
Wilde comedy, "The Importance of Being
Earnest," at the Eden Lounge, February
19-21 and 27-28.
In this popular farce set in Victorian
England the wit we expect from Wilde is in
full force. "The characters take trivial
things seriously," says Jeffrey Dohrmann,
director of the play, and it is from this
premise that the farcical elements of the
plot spring.
Jack (Andy Ashenfelter) conveniently invents a younger brother to explain his own
reckless actions while still keeping up a
pretense of respectability. However, Algernon (Geoff Lundy), Jack's friend, actually
pretends to be the imaginary brother in
order to meet Jack's pretty, 18-year-old
ward (Maddy Jacobs-Dohrmann). What
results is a tangle of mistaken identities,
misdirected affections and, as the

People are funny. Just when you've given up hope In what appears to be a
hopeless situation, someone always seems to rise to the occasion and lend a
helping hand.
Tuesday night, it wasn't one person, but an entire community. As river levels
were rising by the hour, people began to move their valuables to higher
grounds. It's better to be safe than sorry, as they say.
Merchant and buslnessess, who had the most to lose, welcomed anyone
who was willing to lend a helping hand. And there were more than a few willing
to help.
Those businesses had to be aulte shaken as thoughts of the Agnes flood of
1972 served as a constant reminder as to what could happen.:
But the students and the community came together as never before to ease
those worries. It was a sign of togetherness that had been missing (or hiding)
for quite awhile.
It's good to see that the togetherness Is there, but one question remains.
Why does it take a bad situation (or potentially bad in this Instance) to bring
out the best In people?

Newman Center is home away from home

This recently renovated house, 445 W. Main Street, is the new home for the Newman
organization. The home has been renovated with financial aid from residents, donations, and other individuals. There are rooms for all students to relax, cook, eat, study,
watch television or just be alone in.

LHU English professor has
literature on radio
A Lock Haven University (LHU) faculty
member's literary work was featured on the
National Public Radio satellite broadcast
last month.
Joseph Nicholson, associate professor of
English at LHU, had three of his short
stories read over the National Public Radio
(NPR) satellite.
The readings were featured on the program "New Letters on the Air," a regular
weekly broadcast on NPR. The purpose of
the program is to present the work of contemporary writers and poets.
Mr Nicholson's stories featured on the

program included, "Watching Meat-Eaters
Explode," "A Beaver Face," and "Old
Slant Fang."
The short stories appear in the current
issue of New Letters magazine, which
founded the radio show, "New Letters on
the Air."
New Letters is one of the oldest continuing literary magazines in the United States,
and is edited by poet David Ray of Kansas
City.j

Mr Nicholson, of Mill Hall has been a
Lock Haven University Faculty member in
the English Department for 14 years.

The hand-painted sign, posted on one old home on 445 W. Main Street is not written
in Greek letters nor does it display a coat of arms. It may be situated across the street
from one fraternity and down the block from two others but it bears little resemblance
to its neighbors. On it is written N-E-W-M-A-N and it spells out the name of an
organization that has found a new home at Lock Haven and which hopes to provide a
home away from home for all students.
The house is actually the Newman Center and it is just that to the Newman Community at Lock Haven and any students who wish to use the facility. First organized by
Bishop Newman, these communities are now found in many state universities across the
country and in nearly all private Catholic colleges. In the past the organization has been
an on and off again club at Lock Haven University (LHU). But as of last spring, it has
increased its membership and generated renewed interest on campus and in the town. In
addition to weekly masses, the community participates in the Big Brother program,
Meals-on-Wheels and retreats to which all students are invited. Jusi recently, they sponsored the Covenant Player theatrical group and have scheduled a marriage preparation
workshop and a spring dinner dance.
According to Kelly Osborne, president of the Newman Community, Lock Haven
residents Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mogish saw such a great need to finally, firmly establish
such an organization that they did a little more than lend a helping hand. They bought a
house.
"The Newman Community is a service organization providing fellowship, worship
and social functions," explains Osborne. "The Mogishes, along with concerned
teachers at LHU and nuns at Immaculate Conception Convent agreed that students
could use one place that would accomodate these multi-faceted activities."
Although the Newman Community is a Catholic based group, it is written into their
constitution that they are open to all denominations. It is this idea that is built into the
aried social and educational programs fo the community and, perhaps more importantly, their "open door" policy.
"We want all students to feel welcome at the Newman Center," says Sr. Maureen,
who was appointed by Bishop Hogan of the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese as the
organization's minister. "If all they want is a quiet place to study, we can offer it here
and no one will be breathing down their backs." The house has been renovated with
the financial aid of the Mogishes in addition to donations and funds from individuals.
The elbow grease, however, came not only from the Mogishes, but from the community
members, students and sororities and fraternities. The club officers, Osborne, Joe
Platko, Theresa Edsell and Christine Sharp also found themselves putting in 12-hour
days on weekends and later nights during the week. Results have taken shape in the
form of freshly painted walls and ceilings, waxed hardwood floors, and refinished
pieces of old furniture that was either in the house or donated. There are rooms in which
to relax, cook, eat, study, watch television or just to be alone in. Rooms are also
available for other clubs or groups on campus that need a meeting place.
The people involved with the Newman Community have managed to provide a place
by students and for students through much work and sacrifice. The Newman Center
may just be the student center that Lock Haven has until now lacked and will now begin
to fully use.

Join without committment

ROTC provides exciting look into Army
By David C. Loebig
The helicopter's engines and rotors sent a
vibration through the hovering aircraft.
The copter's doors were wide open, and a
rope dangled from the helicopter to the
ground, 100 feet below. A rope that I had
tied around my hips and legs was attached
to the dangling rope with a snap-link.
Sargeant Hinnish, of Lock Haven
University's Reserve Officer Training Corp
(ROTC) was in the helicopter and gave the
signal to move. I stepped out and onto the
helicopter landing skid and turned to face
him. I leaned back, slowly letting the ropie
slide through my clenched fists. 1 held
myself parallel to the ground until the
sargeant gave the signal to jump. 1 pushed
myself off the skid and slid down the rope
to the ground below.
This is just one of the things 1 did as a
ROTC cadet last semester. Lock Haven
University's ROTC will repeat the
helicopter rapell again this semester. Other
cadet activities include shooting the M-16
rifle, a helicopter ride, cliff rapelling, and
weekend trips to Army installations.
These activities are just part of the ROTC
program that^LHU students can join
without a committment to the Army. By
joining ROTC, an interested student can
get an exciting, if not complete, look at the

Army, as well as training in leadership, map
reading, weapons use, rapelling, and other
military skills.
For students interested in joining the Army, ROTC offers more advanced training
and scholarships for cadets who meet Army
academic standards.
ROTC is an Army program designed to
train college students to become officers
upon graduation. The program is offered at
1373 colleges nationwide and between 6000
and 7000 ROTC cadets are commissioned
yearly.
At LHU there are about 90 cadets and
about 15 are commissioned each school
year. Over the recent Christmas break,
LHU Cadet Charles Page was commissioned into the National Guard and Cadet Dennis Kiner was commissioned into the Army
reserves.
The local ROTC program is run by Capt.
Gene R. Hare (16 years in the Army), Capt.
Gerald Nye (10 years in the Army), and Sgt.
First Class Clinton L. Hinnish (14 years in
the Army). Experienced cadets assist the
cadre (regular Army troops assigned to
teach ROTC) in organizing and leading
LHU's ROTC. The cadre teach all of the
Military Science (MS) classes offered here,
some of which a student can take without
joining the Army.

Many students turn out
at voting conference
More than 75 students from Pennsylvania, including 25 from the Commonwealth Association of Students (CAS),
joined 1,600 student leaders at the National
Student Conference on Voter Registration,
held Feb. 10-12 at Harvard University in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. The conference
marked the first of its kind since students
were granted the right to vote in 1972, and
signaled the start of a year long campaign to
register students in large numbers.
The conference featured speeches by
members of the D e m o c r a t i c and
Republican parties, and was highlighted
Sunday by the keynote address of the Rev.
Jesse Jackson, contender for the Presidential nomination for the Democratic Party.
Jackson had repeatedly turned down the invitation to speak because of his tight
schedule, but yielded to pleas from the
United States Student Association to address the large throng. "Here you are, on a
Sunday morning at 8 a.m. after being up all
night," he said. "Something must be going
on." He brought the crowd to its feet
repeatedly, calling "for this generation to
serve its present age."
Beth Degrasse, coordinator of the National Campaign on Voter Registration,
noted that 18-to24-year olds had the lowest
turnout of any age group. "We're tired of
being told we're apathetic, and we're tired

of being told, 'Sorry, you have no clout;
your age group doesn't vote,' when we lobby on Capitol Hill." Organizers of the
event predicted that for the first time,
students will be noticed as a political force.
The Pennsylvania delegation was led by
CAS president Randy Shuster, who noted
that "This conference, this drive, in this
year is historic. We will prove wrong those
who say that students don't care about the
future of our society." He explained that
CAS has targeted the goal of 20,000 newly
registered students for this year, and also
plans an extensive get-out-the-vote drive for
November. CAS Director of Campus
Organization, Chris Magoc, enthusiastically noted, "The time is ripe for students to
reactivate themselves. The victories of the
60's were not gifts; people sweated, people
died for those rights, and the most important one is the right to vote. It's time we use
it. The people at the conference are not
building for 1988 or 1992 - 1984 is it,"
Activities throughout the weekend included workshops by representatives of
other state student associations throughout
the nation on how to conduct voter registration drives, as well as regional strategizing
sessions for the 40 states represented.
Discussions by student leaders centered
around such issues as education, the arms
r.----. environmental protection, civil rights
a..iJ Tiiove.

A siuuLiu \,au (.ii.uij in ine freshman and
sophomore Military Science classes without
a committment to the Army. These classes
are Introduction to Military Science (MS
104), Development of Military Skills (MS
105), Introduction to Leadership and Tactics (MS 204), and Methods of Instruction
(MS 205). These classes are worth one
credit each and deal with Army history,
military customs, military communications,
map reading and leadership. The freshman
and sophomore classes are designed to give
the student an introduction to the Army
and the military in general.
More Military Science classes are offered
to cadets who wish to join the Army after
college graduation. These classes are Small
Unit Leadership (MS 304), Platoon Tactical
Operations (MS 305), U.S. Army Staff
Organizations and Responsibilities (MS
404) and Advanced Military Skills (MS
405). A student wishing to join the Army
through ROTC must take these classes. In
addition, a contracted cadet (a cadet who
has signed a contract to join the Army)
must meet the Army's academic, conduct,
and physical fitness standards and attend
summer Army camps.
As a supplement to classes, all cadets are
expected to attend one-hour leadership labs
on Tuesday evenings. These labs are run by

the more experienced coiuiuced cadets. It
is at these labs that cadets gain experience in
marching, land navigation, weapons use,
rapelling and combat tactics.
Cadets can also get some military experience during weekend activities, which
are open to all cadets, but are mandatory
only for contracted cadets. A trip to For!
Indian Town Gap, Pennsylvania is planned
as a weekend activity this semester, along
with a separate weekend trip to Aberdeen
Proving Grounds to see some of the Army's
newest equipment. Other weekend activities
that are planned for this semester include
helicopter rapelling, rifle shooting, and
practical exercises in tactics.
For extra ambitious cadets, there are two
ROTC clubs run by the cadets themselves
-the Scuba Club and the Ranger Club. The
Scuba Club is for cadets who are interested
in scuba diving and the Ranger Club is for
cadets who wish to learn more about combat tactics. Also, Capt. Hare runs a halfhour calisthenics session every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday at 6:15 a.m. in
Rogers Gym.
Of course, ROTC isn't just fun and interesting activities. T^'here is real studying to
do and some marching, saluting and running (especially for contracted cadets). This,
however, is kept to a minimum for noncontracted cadets.

Morale remains high on
struggling b-ball squad
By Rocco Pallotto
Desnite th^ fart that the men's basketball
team has gone 2-19 heading into Wednesday
night's home contest with California, head
coach Brad Black still thinks the team is
working as hard as could be expected.
"The practices are still intense because
the kids want to win. They are still practicing hard," commented Black.
By now there has to be some emotional
drain by the players, especially after losing
over five games by two points.
" I think that (the close losses) certainly
affect the confidence of the players and
probably had some effect on the record,"
said the coach. "It's probably more game
to game than season as a whole, though."
The team's lack of inside strength and
depth was also a key factor in most of the
losses, according to Black.
The Bald Eagle head coach also feels
motivation is important. "Motivation is to
do the best you can everytime you play," he
said. "It's an individual kind of thing. It's
game by game, not by season."
As with most sports teams, a big crowd
has really helped the Eagles, while a smaller
crowd had done the opposite.
"I think we've plaved well where there's

a big crowd," noted Black. "A lot of our
home games were played when there were
no students on campus (over break) and
I'm sure that affected our play."
With five more games remaining during
regular season. Black thinks that the upcoming PSAE tournament, in which all
conference teams participate, may be a
slight emotional uplift for the squad.
"I think it (the tourney) does, but more
importantly they (the players) are out to
win each game," he said, "they want to
have some wins. I think even if we didn't
have the tournament, they'd still be working hard.
On the squad's chances in the tournament. Black said, "It's very hard to predict.
It probably will depend on who we play.
It'll probably be an away game, so that will
be a factor. However, we've played every
team in the PSAE close, so we have the
potential to beat any team in the conference.
"I think if we can finish the regular
season strong, we can certainly be more optimistic for the next season. I think our kids
deserve to win because they've played
harder than the record would indicate," the
Eagle head concluded.

The status of Lynch is questionable because
he is coming off knee surgery.
Senior PSAC title holder Don Parsley,
25-6-1 with seven pins, will be at 134 lbs. for
LHU. Penn State has wrestled others at this
weight class but it is likely that either Lynch
or Webster, whoever doesn't wrestle at 126
lbs., will occupy the 134 lb. spot.
At 142 lbs. LHU will send junior PSAC
champ Tommy Kreamer, 16-8, into action.
Sophomore Gary Kaschak, 16-8-1, will be
sent to confront Kreamer.
Junior Bryon Benner, 9-7-1 with three
pins, will wrestle at 150 lbs. for LHU. He
will be opposed by sophomore Chris
Bevilacqua, 22-3-3, who is currently ranked
eighth in the nation by Amateur Wrestling
News.
Freshman Jody Karam, 18-12 with three
pins, will man the 158 lb. spot for the Bald
Eagles. Another freshman, Greg Elinsky
who is 27-3 and ranked fifth nationally by
National Mat News, will battle Karam.
At 167 lbs. LHU's all-time win leader
Doug Buckwalter, 33-4 with four pins, will
face an old nemesis in Eric Brugel. Brugel,
23-7, is currently ranked eighth by Amateur
Mat News.
Sophomore Greg Wykoff, 15-13, will be
at 177 lbs. for the Bald Eagles. He will encounter All-American Bob Harr, 19-10-2,
who is currently ranked fifth in the nation
at 177 lbs. Harr moved down from 190 lbs.
at midseason to replace sensational
freshman Dan Mayo who is out with a
broken ankle.
At 190 lbs. for LHU will be junior Ty
Hall, 12-12-1. Freshman John Place,
11-6-1, will oppose Hall.
The heavyweight matchup will have
LHU's Rick Petersen, a junior with a 27-5
record and 16 pins to his credit, facing Penn

State's Steve Sefter, 7-1. During the fall
Sefter, who has NFL'potential, plays defensive end for the Nittany Lions football
team.
Of tomorrow night's match against
LHU, Penn State sixth year coach Rich
Lorenzo said, "I think it will be a barnburner. The match should be very tight. 1
can't say that the Whitsel versus DeStefanis
(118 lb.) or Sefter versus Petersen (hwt.)
match will be the most important. All ten
bouts will be the key to see who wins."
"1 have the utmost respect and praise for
coach (Neil) Turner and his wrestling program at LHU. 1 like to think that we are
very similar to LHU because we try to get
good people, not just good wrestlers," said
Lorenzo.
"It's fun to wrestle Lock Haven because
they don't dance around or try to avoid
opponents—they come out to wrestle. Not
only is it a big dual, but EWL seedings are
also at stake," said Lorenzo.
LHU coach Turner said, "This is the biggest match of the year. We want a good turnout for the match. Wrestling at home
should be in our favor and we want the
Lock Haven crowd to continue to be our
llth man."
Turner added, " A lot depends on
whether or not their injured wrestlers
return. We will have to win a majority of
the tossups and take a few upsets. All of
which is possible because we've done it
before."
Turner said, " A lot of intensity and concentration will be necessary for us to win.
Every second of every match will be critical.
This match comes at an ideal time because
each individual wrestler should be at the top
of his capabilities."

LHU field hockey team
switches to Division I

By Kevin Campbell
After back to back national championships and countless Pennsylvania State Conference titles, the Lady Eagles field hockey team has made the switch from division II to
division I.
The decision was reached after the announcement that the NCAA was dissolving the
division II national tournament. Citing a lack of teams competing on the division II
level as reason for dissipating the tournament, all division II schools were given the
choice of jumping to the top division or dropping to division III.
The jump to division I will leave the Lady Eagles out of the state conference tournament, as is also true with West Chester. These are the only two PSAC schools now competing on the division I level. Bloomsburg, the defending division II national champion,
dropped to division III despite opposition from the school's coaching staff.
"I'm sorry we will not have a chance to compete for the conference championship,"
said Lady Eagle coach Sharon Taylor. "They should have set the conference tournament up regardless of the school's division."
Despite the dissappointment of no more conference play, the Lady Eagles will
welcome the opportunity to face the top schools in the country, including rival Penn
State. The Eagles have established a highly respectable record against the division I
schools, losing just two contests over a two year span. In fact it was division I power
Penn State who last year refused to play Lock Haven because of the success of the
smaller school.
Coach Taylor has been busy establishing a schedule which includes such division I
schools as Villanova, Purdue, Maryland, New Hampshire, Eastern Kentucky, and
James Madison. Taylor said she would like to finish in the top 10 or 20 in the new division, but is not expecting too much from her girls right away.
"I don't want people to think it's going to be the same as last year," the coach said.
"I can't even talk about the playoffs. These other schools are putting a tremendous
amount of money into scholarships and programs."
Taylor claims that the switch will give Lock Haven better exposure, and maybe help
in the area of recruiting. The Lady Eagle program will still include a JV schedule,
designed to groom the young recruits who chose Lock Haven.
The commitment to advance to division I is a choice which Taylor and the athletic
department hopes will turn out for the best. The team will not have a chance to change
its mind, if necessary, for four more years.
In the meantime. Lock Haven field hockey fans will be treated to some of the best
competition the country has to offer.

June leads Bald Eagle basketball romp
By Rocco Pallotto
The men's basketball team won its second straight home game by defeating
visiting California, 95-75, here Wednesday
night.
Sam June led the Bald Eagles with a
game high 29 points. Junior Price (19),
Brad Yoder (18), and Steve Santor (14),
also notched double figures.
"It only has to help the team's confidence," assistant coach Don Taylor said
of the victory. "You talk about teams peaking and gelling and that's what we're doing
here at the end of the season."
Taylor noted a few things the Bald Eagles
did well last night. "We made our foul
shots and we handled their press much better. We also shot better - about 50% from
the field."

This year for the first time, all Pennsylvania Conference teams will be entered
in the conference tournament, regardless of
won-loss record or place finish in regular
season conference play. So with a 3-19
overall record, 2-7 in the PC West Division,
the Bald Eagles can still challenge for the
conference title.
"The team objectiye is to get to the final
four at Hershey, " said Taylor.
Tomorrow the Bald Eagles host the
Clarion Golden Eagles at 3 p.m. "I think
the biggest thing we have to do this time
against Clarion is to take better shots," said
Taylor, " and in the last three conference
games we have been doing just that."

Women hoopsters need
wins to reach final four
By Christa Landas
Clarion University and Bloomsburg
University are the two remaining teams that
could possibly clip the wings of the Lady
Bald Eagles and thwart a Lock Haven bid
at the final four.
The Lock Haven women have started to
turn themselves around with the playoffs
in sight. Their last loss was Saturday at
Edinboro, 67-63.
Monday the Eagles crushed Bucknell by
the score of 74-63. Tina Martin led all
scorers in the Bucknell contest with 26
points. Karen Hume had 23 markers for the
Bisons.
"We had a real good first half and we
played together. We played under control.
Our Dress worked well and it's giving us
something more to achieve," commented
Coach Fred Riley.
Then LHU went on to play an excellent
game against California University and won
going away, 95-82. LHU came out in a halfcourt press and forced the Vulcans into
numerous turnovers. The Lady Eagles just
played an excellent, fast paced, hustling offensive and defensive game.
Several Lock Haven women scored in
double figures. They were led by Lori
Young who had 22 points. Donna Sergi had
19, Martin chipped in 18, and Sonia Pez
and Lisa Maneval compiled 14 each.

ATHLETES

Duania Tyier scored 23 markers for the
Vulcans and her teammate Benita Jones
had 20.
But that is past history and the tsaiu
Eagles must now look forward to their big
game against Clarion. When these two
teams met in January, LHU defeated the
Golden Eagles by the close margin of 69-60.
In that contest, Pez scored her collegiate
high of 22 and Martin scored an additional
21. Sergi also had her college career high of
H rebounds. Should the Bald Eagles continue to use their pressure defense as effectively as they have in tnelr two recent
contests, then LHU will have little difficulty
shooting down Clarion.
Lock Haven has bounced back after a
four game losing streak and is looking like a
strong contender for a final four spot.
"We have gone over our mistakes in
practice and have worked on overcoming
what we have been doing mentally wrong
on the floor. Our approach and attitude is a
lot better," stated Coach Riley.
If Lock Haven can win its last two games
against Clarion and Bloomsburg, then there
is a good chance they'll get a berth and the
home court advantaee for the first big four
western division playoff game. The Golden
eagles ot Clarion University will be in town
Saturday, so get out and help support the
Lady Bald Eagles.

By Andrew Ashenfelter
"1 remember some Indian pottery I
drank from in New Mexico. Truly masterful sculptors they were. It seemed to me at
the time that water had a certain coolness
I'd never tasted before."
As he leans back in his chair and smiles at
the memory of the experience it becomes
apparent that Oliver LaGrone fits the statement of his fellow artists that he is a
sculptor in competition "only with
himself."
Even though LaGrone chooses to show
his work more frequently in schools and
universities than in museums and art
galleries, the seriousness of the philosophy
he holds about sculpture equals the
magnitude of a religious faith.
On seeing La Grone's numerous pieces of
sculpture, being displayed in Sloan lobby
through February 19 as a part of the Black
Arts Festival, one gets the impression that
all the sculptures are actually figures of
LaGrone himself, moods that have been
caught and fixed to a specific spot in time
and space.
Several of the pieces dotting the lobby of
Sloan are portraits of various individuals
who have contributed to black history.
Among the pieces are George W. Crockett,
Harriet Tubman and George Washington
Carver. LaGrone believes that portrait
sculpture is "just like doing a biography of
that person, the same way you write a
book."
The majority of the pieces, however, are
non-representational, abstract works which
transcend race and culture. LaGrone feels
that "there are certain rythms in the
universe which run through art and life
itself. The artist's job is to give concrete
forms to these rhythms." A perfect example of these constant rhythms is shown in
"Ballet to Disco," a duo piece displaying
two poised figures that are remarkably
similar despite their differences.
LaGrone does not deny the humor present in the structures of things. "Oedipus
Reckless" is a comic portrayal in which a
crowned baby is sculpted who is trying to

return to the womb.
LaGrone is often neatly subdivided as an
educator/sculptor/poel but he says education is the main focus of all his works.
"Adults always look at my abstract works
and ask 'What does that remind me of?' 1
want to steer people away from that approach," explains LaGrone. In fact, it
seems that young children understand his
works better than most. LaGrone chuckles
"Sometimes they even give the pieces better
names than I did."
