How can we better serve you? Let us know, by Jennifer Bowes Eagle Eye News Editor_ The Eagle Eye. It's been a tradition on the University campus for nearly thirtynine years, according to records held by the Eagle Eye office. Over the years, various changes have been made in the format of the newspaper. As the years go on, the Eagle Eye, as with anything, needs to meet the changing needs of the times. That's where you, the University campus, comes in. We need to know what YOU would like to see change in YOUR Eagle Eye. The Eagle Eye has always strived to serve the campus community with information we feel is valuable to both students, faculty and staff. In 1989, the staff made minor changes, diie to both a lack of reporters and constructive criticism from faculty and students. ^Then changes included paying reporters 20 cents per column inch and trying to generate more student interest in the newspaper. An October 1972 edition of the Eagle 'Eye also featured a comical attempt at generating interest in the student newspaper. "EE DOCTORS FORESEE DEATH," read the large headline on the front page, referring to the small number of staff members at the time. In addition, the graphic of the eagle had been turned upside-down. Although the current Eagle Eye staff is not going to go to the above-mentioned extreme, we are also hoping to generate more student interest. But first we need to know what the students are interested in. Send us constructive criticism — suggestions, changes, fresh ideas. We will take all ideas seriously and do our best to implement all that we feel will give the students better information. This implementation will take place during the Fall 1995 semester. If you PERSONALLY would like to make the change, apply for the staff position in the area in which you feel the change should be made. Those who contribute the most innovative ideas will contribute generously to the staff. Ideas can be called in by phone, left on the Eagle Eye voice mail, sent via campus mail, or dropped off at the Eagle Eye office in the bottom of the PUB. Additionally, Email messages may be sent to jbowes@falcon.lhup.edu. Use any form of communication you feel is easiest for you! We'll be looking forward to hearing from you!!! iosfdonknk] Dr. William Schulz, executive director. Amnesty International USA (AIUSA), will serve as keynote speaker at the University's Gerald R.

With no one to take pictures, photo spaces in the Eagle Eye may appear like this next fall. Quite attractive, eh? (photo by -?-) Family appreciative of support,,. Dear staff and students of Lock Haven: Just a short note to thank you all for your ongoing support of our son, Matt Duncan. The outpouring of concern, banners, cards, and calls (as well as visits) have been overwhelming for us. We tell Matt everything, the banner is on the wall (as are cards), balloons are in his room, and the tape has been played multiple times. I do think his recovery will hang on his knowing he is loved and missed, along with prayer. We are now telling him "kick your butt" messages ~ he's had a long enough nap! 1 always knew Lock Haven was special ~ both in students and staff — now we've just added another dimension to that knowledge. Bless you all. Love, Louise & Bob Duncan •^Matt Duncan remains in critical condition, but he is recovering. According to Dr. Linda Koch, vice president for student affairs, he opens his eyes when asked and moves his hands. Anyone wishing to send cards and letters should send them to the Intensive Care Unit at the Williamsport Hospital, 777 Rural Avenue, Williamsport, PA 17701.

No word could better describe how we feel right now. Out of the 117 journalism majors here at Lock Haven University, as of Wednesday only two had turned in applications for Eagle Eye staff positions. The Eagle Eye is a small newspaper. It only takes 14 dedicated students to keep it rolling of the presses every week. Including the two applicants, we currently have only half our staff positions filled for the fall semester of 1995. This is pathetic! Students have had almost four weeks to turn in their applications. Where is the student interest? It's a competitive world out there for journalists. We have worked at the Eagle Eye practically since we got here. Graduation is now upon some of us, and we still haven't found jobs even with our experience. How can anyone expect to get a job without experience? That is what the Eagle Eye is here for. If you don't take the time in college to take advantage of the opportunities offered, do you really think future employers will take the time to look at your resume? Probably not. Employers are looking for someone with experience ~ someone with ambition and motivation. They don't want someone who knows nothing about journalism other than what they've learned in their classes. At larger universities you have to take a test to even be allowed to work on the student newspaper. At Lock Haven you don't even have to have experience to get a job at the student newspaper. All you need is to be willing to put in some time and effort to get the bek. with computers, layout and design, writing, editing and leadership skills are all gained by working at the Eagle Eye.
