When asked about some disappointments he has encountered over the^course of the year, Jones said he is disappointed when people are mistreated. "Some major disappointments are when I think of how badly [some] students were treated by the University. When I think anyone has been treated badly by the University, it disappoints me," he said. He added that he has a concern that people be treated with respect and believes it is most important that all people respect each other. Jones is no stranger in the area of being a University employee. After graduating, he returned to work for the Office of Admissions and the Office of Student Affairs from 1974-76. He admitted that he did not expect to return to the University and work in an administrative position as he did this past year.

But during the Fall and Spring semesters the Haven Activities Council (HAC) sponsors events to entertain the students and give them something to do besides hiding in their dorm rooms watching TV. But what hapfjens in the summer? Are those events still taking place? So far in the four weeks that classes have been in session, the following events have taken place: "The Lost World" was sponsored at the Roxy Theater in town twice and "Scream" has been shown twice on 16mm film. Junior Accounting major Steve Leitzel is taking classes to help his grade point average, but he hasn't been satisfied with the social output in Lock Haven. "I basically play Sega games when I'm not studying," he said. "I'd die without my Sega!" Carol Latronica, Associate Dean of Students is not surprised by the lack of activities on campus. "I know there's nothing to do," she said. "The problem is telling the right people what you want to do." The "right people" would be HAC. HAC does not meet during the summer, but Rene Ashlock, Director of Student Activities commented on the lack of events in the first session. "We can't bring in acts during the summer because they cost too much," she said. Ashlock did point out, however, that the PUB has been open every night until 8 p.m. and it remains empty. The game room is also open and it too remains empty. HAC sponsored trips to Millbrook Playhouse last summer and no one signed up. Students can still pick up free tickets to Millbrook at the Vice-presidents office in Sullivan Hall. Students still remain ademant that there are not enough activities on campus. Sophomore Elementary Education major, Shonnie McDonald wishes she had more to do. She went with friends to the swimming pool in Zimmerli for what was supposed to be a free swim sponsored by the Student Cooperative Council (SCC), but they were kicked out in favor of camp children. "The activties we are supposed to have, we don't have anymore because there's a bunch of little kids here," she exclaimed. That creates another question: Who gets priority on school property? The students who are here to receive a degree, or the camp children? A similar debate was raised in the last spring issue of the Eagle Eye. Tracksters have had continuous scheduling problems with the use of the University track because the area high school and junior high teams have scheduled their practices and events on the track in exchange for a donation, by the Keystone Central School District, to its creation two years ago. Students who are coming to the University for the second session will be Undeclared Sophomore Erik Kirk flips channels on his TV. He comments, "There's nothing to do up here with your free time except watch TV." (photo by Brian Ploskina) pleased to hear that HAC has many activities slated for the five-week session. HAC-sponsored trips include: Six Flags, a Phillies game, Hershey Park and a trip to State College to see fireworks on the Fourth of July. Movies "The Devil's Own", "Grosse Pointe Blank", and "Sling Blade" will each be shown twice during the month of July. So what happens to the students who are up here for the first summer session? "There's only about thirty to forty students here, so there's little interest to plan any activities for the first sesion," replied Ashlock. Sophomore Early Education major. Traces Black is not bothered by the lack of events. "I have too much studying to do so 1 don't have time to get bored," she said. S u m m e r H A C e v e n t s c a r be^ At f o u n d on p a g e 5." Student orientation will be taking place all next week by Brian Ploskina Eagle Eye Editor in Chief_ Steve Leitzel scores a goal for the Pittsburgh Penguins on NhHL '97 for his Sega Genesis. Asked what he'd do without his Sega, Leitzel replied, "Die!" (photo by Brian Ploskina) It is that time of the year again when most of the freshman students who will be joining us this Fall come a few months early to get a taste of what life will be like on our scenic campus. In a simple matter of 24 hours, those students will be shown everything from dorm life to social life to a taste of the University's fine Bentley cuisine. The future endeavorous students will also get a look at life in downtown Lock Haven and the surrounding communities. Courtesy of several changes made to the orientation structure last year, parents will be more involved with the events during orientation. The program "Metamorphosis" will now be shown to parents as well as students. New students will have obvious advantages that most students at LHU did not start out with. For instance, the one-card system will lessen the time orientation students will have to stand in line. Previous students had to stand in line twice; once for their Bentley card and a second time for their ID. The new Ea§leCard is easier and faster. According to Carol Latronica, Dean of Student Affairs, 400 to 500 incoming students will visit the campus next week, out of 700 to 750 total new students. "They're here for a 24-hour period," said Latronica. "We try to make them feel more comfortable with the campus." 4 Eagle Eye Friday, June 20,1997 Features Alumni fashion show proves underwear still in fashion by Cynthia Graham Eagle Eye News Editor_ Underwear, underwear and more underwear. Is this a fashion trend leading into the millennium? Well, not for everyone, but perhaps for popular clothing collector Doris Darnell, who presented her Fashions from the Boudoir show, sponsored by the University's Foundation Office at Sloan Theatre on Sunday. According to Darnell, a major part of the show is underwear and night gowns from past eras. She said everything the models wear are clothing that were given, to her by friends and family. As early as age 19, Darnell began collecting clothing and she has shown her collection to audiences all over the United States and while on Euro[)ean and Caribbean cruzes. What is most unique about Darnell's Doris Darnell, in a 150 year old lavender Chinese silk skirt and hook blouse, as she narrates the lives of the women who wore the clothing. EAGLE EYE LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY PARSONS UNION B L D G : LOCK HAVEN, PA 17745 (717) 893-2334 VOLUME 49, No. 27 SUMMER STAFF Editor in Chief Brian Ploskina Faculty Advisor Dr. Douglas Campbell All of Darnell's clothing were given to her and represents centuries of old. Here, women strut their stuff in night gowns and underwear, (photo by Cynthia Graham) To make a long story even longer, after she found out that she was not going to be married, the heart broken young lady packed everything she made for the advent of married life, into a chest and never opened it again. For the remainder of her life, she existed as a hermit. At the time of her death, this lady left her house and everything in it to her lawyer, which happned to be the husband of a University employee. The employee then turned the chest over to Darnell, who was the first person to open the chest since it had been securely locked away many, many years before. In 1979, Darnell started showcasing her collection of vintage clothing in a performance she called Centuries of Elegance. Since then, she has done 80 shows, consisting of 12 different themes, and has been on 11 cruz ships into exotic countries. She does not have a full time staff of models, nor does the elderly collector, exhibitor and raconteur have stage technicians in charge of the overall production of her shows. Instead, Darnell spearheads the entire operation with her husband and uses women who are willing to model her clothing at each stop she makes. Other features of Darnell's collection include sporting clothes and mens night wear from past centuries. However, she said it is hard to convince men to model sleep wear. Darnell said she also has slides of fragile dresses and other pieces of aged clothing that are too delicate to be worn. The last segment of the fashion show was known as what Darnell calls an Edwardian Striptease. This was well News Editor Cynthia Graham Sports and Features Editor Chris Nagy J Volunteer model Karen Rockey wearing a long black silk slip with a black silk fringed cape. It belonged to a modest lady. (photo by Cynthia Graham) shows, however, is the fact that she incorporates stories of the women who actually wore the clothing into the presentation. She told tales of lovers and wives of elite European and American men. There were stories of women who were filthy rich and spoiled rotten, who only bought clothing from the most exquisite stores and boutiques in Paris. Darnell's indepth account of a particular woman's mysterious life was quite interesting. This lady was scheduled to be married, but on the day of the wedding, her husbandto-be jilted her! Prior to the wedding, this woman sewed many beautiful dresses and sleep ware for her new life. She created a beautiful white, two-piece night gown set specifically for the eventful wedding night ahead of her. >^ (photo by Cynthia Graham) Volunteer models for Darnell's Fashions from the Boudoir show.

Darnell said this segment of the Boudoir came aboiif when she was asked to perform the show at the 80th anniversary of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Members of the planning committee for the celebration asked Da.nell to incorporate something into her show to excite the crowd. Darnell decided on the striptease, a conservative stripping of night clothes that showed underwear of that particular era, and it has since become a permanent part of her show. Darnell says she plans to donate her clothing to the Shippensburg Fashion Archives, which has asked her to put her things into their museum. Friday, June 20,1997 Eagle Eye 5 Features HAC EVEN3?S!

And once again, the citizens turn to their one hope. Batman. Summoned by the glowing moon of the Bat-signal hovering against the night sky. Batman, played this go-round by everyone's favorite doctor, George Clooney, roars from the reconstructed Batcave in a sleek, remodeled Batmobile towards the city. Only now, he doesn't travel alone. His daredevil partner, Robin, Chris O'Donnell returns for the role, speeds alongside him on his turbo-charged motorcycle, the Redbird. A united team standing against a new reign of villainy, conceived with cold-blooded design by a shimmering, terrifying figure of destruction, Mr. Freeze, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The first week of July means it must be time for Will Smith in some sci-fi action movie with a lot of special effects. Smith, coming from last year's block- They are the best kept secret in the universe. Working for a highly-funded, yet unofficial government agency, Jones and Smith are the Men In Black, providers of immigration services and regulators of all things alien on earth.

She's believed it since she was a young girl, when her father would sit her at his shortwave radio, magically connecting her with voices from across unfathomable distances. She's known it since college, when she chose the search for intelligent extraterrestrial messages as her discipline, despite the scorn of the scientific community. She's fought for it since she bargained for Just hours a week of satellite time to sweep the heavens for evidence. Now, after a lifetime of waitiiig. Dr. Eleanor "Ellie" Arroway, Foster, is finally being proven right. From the distant star Vega, a message comes to Earth and is discovered by Ellie.

Confronted for the first time- with proof of intellectual life from afar, speculation ranges from the dawning of either a new era in evolution or certain Armageddon. "Contact" opens July 11. 6' Eagle Eye Friday, June 20, 1997 Sports It's a whole new game - The Cubbies are in town by Chris Nagy Eagle Eye Summer Sports Editor_ The Williamsport Cubs are back in town to begin the 1997 New York-Penn league season with a new manager and some other fresh faces. The Cubs are coming of a second place finish in the New York-Penn Leagues Pinckney Division, just two games behind Watertown. The Cubs finished with a 43-32 record and the highest winning percentage of any Williamsport team since 1967. The Cubs new manager is Bob Ralston. Ralston had played six-years in the minors and is in new territory. "This is my first job as a manager and I am looking forward to it," said Ralston. "I am starting to get to know the players now and it is going to be a fun season ." The Cubs are the short-season A minor league team of the Chicago Cubs and one of the places the Cubs send their prospects to get a good look at them and see if they have the stuff to become major leaguers. Til other teams in the Pinckney Division are: Auburn Doubledays (Houston Astros), Oneonta Yankees (New York Yankees), Utica Blue Sox (Florida Marlins), and the Watertown Indians (Cleveland Indians). The Cubs play their home games at Historic Bowman Field, which is only a half an hour away from Lock Haven University. Bowman Field op)ened in 1926 and is the second oldest minor league park operating in the United States. Two of minor league baseball's most bizarre moments took place at historic Bowman Field. In 1955, a young Reading outfielder named Roger Maris looked back over his shoulder while chasing a long fly ball and ran right though the outfield fence. On August 31, 1987, with a Reading player on third base, Williamsport catcher Dave Cubs Home Schedule Friday, June 27 Saturday, June 28 Sunday, June 29 Monday, June 30 Tuesday, July 1 Wednesday, July 2 Thursday, July 10 Friday, July 11 Saturday, July 12 Sunday, June 13 Monday, June 14 Tuesday, June 15 Wednesday, June 16 Thursday, June 17 Saturday, June 26 Sunday, June 27 Tuesday, July 29 Wednesday, July 30 Thursday, July 31 Jamestown Jamestown Jamestown Jamestown Utica Utica Utica Utica Erie Erie* Erie Erie Oneonta Oneonta Utica Utica* Auburn Auburn Oneonta Bresnahan took a peeled round potato and threw it over the third baseman's head and into left field. When the runner tried to score from third, Bresnahan tagged him with the real ball. Bresnahan's professional playing career ended that night. But a year later, 4,000 fans showed up when Williamsport held Dave Bresnahan Day V/iliamsport and retired his number 59. Admission that day was one dollar and one potato. Look on the concourse near the souvenir shop for the Bresnahan No. 59 and pay tribute to a .149 hitter with a sense of humor. On August 29 the Cubs will pay tribute to the 10th anniversary of that famous play with Dave Bresnahan Night. A baseball game at Bowman Field is an experience like no other. Tlie Cubs have many in-game promotions along with many special promotion nights throughout the season. The in-game promotions include a lucky numbers drawing, dirtiest car in the parking lot wins a free car wash, What's in the Box contest, dizzy bat contest, sing for your supper, baseball toss, pair o'dice roll, and the ever popular frog jog. Every Wednesday night is also a special promotion night, "Baseball Bingo". Fans can play along in this special bingo for a chance to play in the grand prize game later in the season. On Saturday, June 28, the Cubs will have a Holiday Fireworks Spectacular. The fireworks will light up the sky above Bowman Field after the game. Another fireworks Spectacular is planned for August 30. A night at the ballpark is also an inexpensive night out for a person on a budget. Bowman Field is not far from campus and costs only $3.75 for general admission and $5.00 for a reserved box seat. There is the typical ballpark food and beverages. The hotdogs are always hot and ready and Pizza Hut pizza is also served at the ballpark. The gates open an hour before game time, which is usually 7:05 except for some afternoon games which will take place at 2:05. There is plenty of parking at Bowman Field, so leaving Lock Haven early is not necessary. The atmosphere at Bowman Field is something out of the early 1930's when baseball was truly "Americas Pastime". There is a fan friendly atmosphere, where fans are encouraged to hang out around the locker room and get autographs of their favorite Williamsport Cub. The Cubs go out of there way to be fan friendly, something you do not see in the Major Leagues. Williamsport has their own slice of American history and also has baseball in its purest form. The Williamsport Cubs players do not have the multi-million dollar contracts that most pro-baseball players have. They are playing in Williamsport because they are chasing a dream, a dream to one day be pitching for the Chicago Cubs on a sunny day in Wrigley Field. Baseball is fun once again, as long as you go to Williamsport to see it.

When you enter Akeley from the front and hang a right, the first thing you'll see is the alumni relations office and public relations office. Look again. Now look a little closer. That door right next to the.alumni office, which has no window looking in, is the home of the Sports Information Director (SID to the University sports community). There is a new SID in town who has been a busy beaver since he arrived just over a month ago. Will Adair was the former assistant to the SID at Edinboro University, but as fate would have it, Adair took a trip down 1-80 to join the LHU sports communityAdair takes over for Josh Leiboff who r'^—'^as the interim SID after Ross Nevile retired. Going from one small school to another, Adair takes it in stride. "I'm just kind of a small town guy," he commented. Adair is well experienced in Division II (DII) sports, and especially experienced in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), after working at Edinboro, who plays all their sports in the same conference as LHU, the PSAC-West. Adair played basketball and golf in high school, and messed around in intramural leagues at Edinboro where he graduated with a bachelor of arts. He's 26, and yes ladies, he's been happily married for two years to a woman who he says, "takes care of me very well." Adair plans on settling his family here in Lock Haven will stay as long as he's happy. Past SIDs like Buck O'Reilly and Neville held the {xjsition for over 50 years, and fortunately for Adair, they kept very good records. One of Adair's largest goals is to involve more students in sports information. He promisses students won't just be getting a few hours of work study money, but getting hands on work that involves release writing, making brochures, and traveling. "I'd like to promote sports information to those students who are interested in the field," he said. Students interested in working for Adair can reach him at 893-2350. Adair himself is where he always wanted to be. "I always wanted to pursue a career in sports information," he commented. "I was always a stat head." So how did he get the job over all the other applicants? "I'm eager and enthusiastic," said Adair. "I think they saw what I mean by putting in a hard day's work." Adair is very thankful to his predecessor Leiboff who he said was, "very helpful and talented, technology-wise." Adair is young, but he has the experience and the drive to succeed at LHU. This is his new home. New Sports Information Director Will Adair hard at work promot(Photo by Brian Ploskina) ing LHU Athletics. Taylor guides U.S. Field Hockey Team to Berlin by Brian Ploskina Eagle Eye Editor in Chief_ Sharon Taylor, the University's Director of Athletics lead the United States Women's Field Hockey team to participate in the Champion's Trophy held in Berlin, Germany. The event takes place every two years with the best six teams in the world participating. Taylor was an obvious choice to lead the team after she lead the same team to Atlanta last year for the Olympics. Taylor describes this year's team as very young. About one third of the team has had no international experience at all. Much of the team that went to Atlanta retired after the games. The event is held in Olympic Stadium, site of the 1936 summer Olympic Games. It is the qualifying event for the 2000 games to be held in Sydney, Australia. The winner of the tournament receives an automatic berth to the Olympics. Taylor retired as the University's field hockey team head coach just one year ago to take over as the head of Athletics. She has been involved in U.S. and international field hockey for more than 30 years. She has served as the U.S. Field Hockey Association's representative to the U.S. Olympic Committee since 1987, and vice- Athletic Director Sharon Taylor led the U.S. Women's Field Hocky team to compete in the Champion's Trophy at Berlin, Germany. (Photo by Brian Ploskina) president of the association and delegate to several World Cups and international congresses. The University has had a strong tradition in field hockey. Just last year, new head coach Pat Rudy lead the team to the state title, and lost by one goal to Bloomsburg University in the national title game. Lock Haven has had such an influence in Division II that talk has risen about moving the program up to Division I. According to Taylor, the structure of DII is so small that it will eventually fall apart. "The vast majority of DII teams are west of the Mississippi," said Taylor. The program was in DI for five years during the eighties when DII had broken up. Once the division was put back together however, the University went back to DII. Meanwhile, Taylor looks forward to the upcoming hockey season. r "1 think we'll have a great team again," she said. "Pat Rudy has done a great job recruiting, and she likes recruiting, which I have a hard time believing anybody fenjoys recruiting." Rudy still remains the fourth all-time scoring leader at LHU. She reached that plateau when the team still only played 11 games a season. Now the team plays 23 games. Taylor is also looking forward to the start of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She commented, "This comes on the 25th anniversary of Title IX." Title IX is the law that supports equality in all facets of education, athletics and the work place. -• When women, athletic or not, need someone to look up to, Sharon Taylor epitomizes the successful woman of the eighties, nineties, and beyond. When it come? time to celebrate Title IX, who better to start off the festivities than a woman who uses its freedom to its fullest extent. Win Adair may be young, and LHU, but he's driven to succeed.
