Students pick ^experience' ticket by Jennifer Bowes Eagle Eye News Editor_ Jamie Piraino and Larry Flint were elected the new Student Cooperative Council (SCC) president and vice president, and Steph Kline was re-elected treasurer in an election which brought students out to the polls on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Piraino, current SCC corresponding secretary, won by a 395-190 margin over Michael Leimbach, his opponent. Flint posted a 414-171 victory over Joseph P. Harkins, Jr, while Kline won by a 414-174 margin over Carrie Ahles. "Students made the best choice they could by voting Piraino, Flint and Kline," Kline said. All three candidates expressed excitement after hearing the results. Piraino said he is looking forward to taking office and will do "exactly what he promised to do." His plans, as expressed in last week's debate, are to develop the new SCC constitution, hit the legislative front this summer to express concern about proposed cuts for State System of Higher Education (SSHE) schools and to make a lawyer available on campus so that students can obtain legal advice if they desire it. Piraino stated that he felt Leimbach ran a great campaign. "They gave us a good run," said Flint. It was a "real race" this year with each office being contested, he added. Flint said he will continue work with the Judicial Board, be involved with the Haven Activities Council (HAC) and be the vice president in charge of the committees. He hoftes to "maintain" things and keep them running. Kline plans to restructure the budgeting program and work with Piraino and Flint to make the SCC more "student-oriented." The three also plan to begin publication of an SCC newsletter which will detail upcoming events. Piraino wanted to remind students that the SCC will hold an "open door" policy. Anyone who wishes to come in to express any kind of concern is welcome. Douglas Bicket, the current SCC vice president, said that all the candidates fought a "great battle" and that he felt the election was run well. Because each office was contested, Bicket felt this added an "extra dimension" to the race. O Proposed housing policy strives to make students study harder Jamie Piraino, current SCC corresponding secretary, was voted the incumbent SCC president by the student body (Eagle Eye file photo). by Masaliiro Ueda Eagle Eye News Editor_ Freshmen who start their college life beginning this fall may have to work harder if they want to live off campus. According to Vice President for Student Affairs Linda Koch, the University is considering requiring a higher academic performance for on campus students who wish to live off campus. Under the current housing policy, a student is required to have 32 earned credits in order to live off campus. Beginning this fall semester, the housing policy may be "really different," according to Koch. The new requirements would include not only the number of credits a student has earned, but also the quality of the credits, a student's GPA. Under the proposed housing policy, which is now being reviewed by attorneys, there are two kinds of requirements students must meet in order to leave on campus housing. News (pp:l-2) Groundbreaking ceremonies were held Monday at Jack Stadium to kick off construction. (see story page 2) The policy would require a student to have 48 credits with a GPA of over 2.0 or 32 credits with GPA of over 3.0 to move off campus. This proposed policy would affect incoming students this fall who will sign to the new housing contract. It will not affect the students who currently live on campus because they signed the old housing policy when they came in, according to Carol Latronica, student life director. Although the policy has not been "finalized" yet, it will very likely be approved as the new version soon since it will be effective in the fall 1995 semester, according to Koch. "This would be one way to make students start to think seriously about their grades," Koch said. According to a report compiled by Louis Fabian, director of planning and evaluation. University freshmen's academic performance is comparatively lower than that of students in other grade levels. The report shows that the cumulative GPA as of December 1994 for freshmen Classifieds (pp: 6) Meetings, announcements, help wanted listings, apartments for rent, club announcements, {personals. students is 2.26 for males and 2.51 for females. Comparatively, male seniors have an average GPA of 2.76 and female seniors have an average GPA of 3.00. "I hofie this policy will help increase GPA," Koch said. Koch said there are two kinds of reactions from the students concerning this change. "Some students are against it but there are some students who said they would be more concerned alwut their grades if there was such a policy." It is not uncommon for other sister schools in the State System of Higher Education (SSHE) to require students to have certain numbers of earned credits tiefore they move off campus. For example, Bloomsburg University requires new freshmen to live on campus for the first two semesters but there is no credit hour requirement. Mansfield University has the most strict requirement in terms of the number of credit hours; all students with 95 or less credits must live on campus. No SSHE schools, however, require stu- Op/Ed (pp: 3) Looking for a job next year?

Koch said the policy was not the product of the administration alone but that meetings to discuss the proposed policy involved some of the student body such as the Residence Hall Association (RHA). Some fear the proposed policy might result in a decline in enrollment. Currently 90 to 95 percent of the 1630 person capacity in the residence halls is filled and 45 percent living there are freshmen. Other percentages of students living on campus are 30 percent of sophomores, 16 percent of juniors and 9 percent of seniors, according to Koch. "And we do believe living on campus does help," said Koch. "If [they] live on campus, the students have more opportunity to be involved and learn how the University works bett6V. By the time the student leave the dorms, they will be prepared enough or academically established," said Koch.

In 1993, Settie showcased at the New England and East Coast National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) Coffeehouse Festivals. In 1994, they shined at the national NACA conference in Boston resulting in a national fall tour of 45 colleges. The fall of 1994 also brought two more college showcases at the NACA Upper Midwest and New England Regional Conferences. Formed in the spring of 1992, Settie performed eight shows at UMASS and six shows at Amherst College, and now they are playing to capacity crowds in local night spots. The trio hails from Amherst, Massachusetts. Campus Activities Programming reviews all concur that this is the act to book and re-book. With renditions of classic rock tunes to today's most popular songs, coupled with Bellneir's vocals and stage presence, audiences everywhere are always asking for more. Settle's debut CD on Public Records titled Bob Bit the Fisherman was released this past fall. The trio's first album. No Chedda for Chetta was released on Public Records in 1993. From blistering renditions of Melissa Etheridge's "Like the Way I' Do" to the softer classic "Can't Find My Way Home" as well as a variety of hits by artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Indigo Girls, Riki Lee Jones, Fleetwood Mac, Cariy Simon, Beatles, Jimmy Buffet, Sinatra and many more to see and hear is to believe. What put places into hyperdrive, however, are the incredible versions of about half a dozen Janis Joplin tunes such as "Mercedes Benz," "Bobby McGee," "Try" and many others. In addition to these artists, Settie will be performing music from such performers as Belly, The Cranberries, Pearl Jam, Jimi Hendrix, Grateful Dead, Lemonheads, Tom Petty, Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. The trio also has some originals of their own. A tape of six original songs sold over 500 copies one spring semester and continues to sell well. While the trio has performed throughout the country, they have also brought their act to the area with performances at West Chester and East Stroudsburg Universities.

' I J TJie Friday, April 7,1995 Eagle Eye 5 Side the Jeatures section Japan assault opens door for more atrocities If the commonly heard saying "the freaks come out at night" holds any truth at all, then night has fallen around the world. Who is it I refer to as the freaks? Take your pick from the pool of any one of the hundreds of radical terrorist organizations from around the planet. Then add to that the plethora of new-age cults which are continually surfacing around the globe, and you should have no problem understanding to whom I am referring. I remember a time when it use to be simple to define who the terrorists were and weren't. The term terrorists at one time solely referred to the handful of Middle Eastern radical political organizations bent on the achievement of their well-publicized ideologies through death and mayhem. Now with a sudden surge of apocalyptic cults and political extremists the term terrorists has become a household word. What is it that makes these groups so dangerous? If you tuned into the nightly news at all last week, you wouldn't have to ask. Japan, the country which just two months ago was struck by a great earthquake, was recently assailed by yet another disaster. This catastrophe, however, was far from natural: Sarin, a nerve gas, was released in five subway cars during morning rush hour in Tokyo, killing ten and sickening thousands of others. Standing accused of this atrocity is a cult known as Aum Shinrikyo (Aum Supreme Truth), headed by the charismatic and demented guru, Shoko Asahara. The allega- tions came after the discovery by police of vast quantities of toxic chemical at the cult compound, with many of the chemicals being constituent components of sarin. If these allegations prove to be true, the sheer dementia of this cult would cast a sinister shadow over the recent barbecue at Wako; and we all know the extent of the madness rooted in the Branch Davidian group formerly headed by David Koresh. The big difference between these two radical religious groups is that Koresh and his followers posed little threat to the public at large. Shoko (which I believe is Japanese for "wacko") and his followers pose a very real threat to the nation of Japan. Some reports indicate that enough chemical agents were found at the compound to wage a war against the Japanese nation! This has taken the madness of terrorism to new heights. For decades, even the most radical of terrorist organizations have curtailed their killing; imposing a certain amount of restraint on themselves. It has always been obvious that these groups have had access to chemical and biological warfare agents and simply chose not to employ them. Now that the "ethical barrier" of not using these agents in attacks has been shattered by whatever party may be responsible for the Tokyo assault, it has become only a matter of time until other terrorist organizations begin to use the techniques so readily available to them. What will we as a nation do when that time comes when these attacks find their way to the doorstep of the "land of the free and the home of the brave?" More than likely the country will form a government task force to "further discuss the issue" or send a United Nations peace-keeping force to have tea with the terrorists and discuss how we can accommodate their needs. Whatever the case may be, the recent attack in Tokyo by Shoko Asahara and his flock has expanded the overall threat by all terrorist organizations and radical cults to a level of epic proportions that governments around the world will find difficult to halt. -Jeff Reese Big Hair moving from Jersey to the music charts by Matt Walsh Eagle Eye Music Critic As I stated last week, the amount of great, new material being released right now is phenomenal. I just have no time to listen to all the great stuff that's been infiltrating the WLHU offices. Last week I reviewed a well-known band, and this week I will be going back to my ordinary self and reviewing a great new band I'm almost positive you haven't heard before. It is unfortunate the music you hear on commercial radio/MTV tends to be so bland all the time. What happens is that one label signs a new innovative band, they become pwpular, then every other record label signs any band that sounds remotely like that band. This is why we end up swimming in a sea of musical mediocrity. Here are some examples: The Breeders' popularity spawned Veruca Salt. Hell, the whole Seattle "grunge" thing brought us eight zillion "grunge" bands. Bush being the most recent one on the rise. The problem is record labels try gaining profits on "what's big" at the moment, where the average person would rather listen to the band that made it big in the first place. Luckily for us, an occasional good, original band makes its way on a major label, or as I always find myself doing, we can resort to finding our music on an independent label. One of the new bands which has quickly caught my ear is a band called Big Hair, who has recently released its debut album. The Pickle Farm (Energy Records). Describing Big Hair is quite difficult. With a name like that, you'd probably expect a glam-rock, '80s cheese metal band like Poison, but that's certainly not the case. Take a punk band, throw in an exceptional funk-style bass player whose talents rank with Flea of The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Les Claypool of Primus. Throw in a little '70s progressive rock feel, some '90s heavy thrash, and a little Helmet-ish crunch. Oh yeah, don't forget to throw in a fiddle player. Add all this music to really bizarre, corny, and hilarious lyrics, and you kind of get the gist of Big Hair. This is definitely not your ordinary band. these different styles of music and untraditional instruments is very odd sounding, but is mighty impressive. Notable cuts include "Potty Mouth," "Barney Wasn't," "Stoned Ant," "Spooge," and the sure-to-be hit single "Poop Salad Sandwich." Also included is the story of how a kid's dad gets smoked like a bong by ' ' ' ' ' ' ^ ^ r , -. , M '"piig Bjg Hair In My Closet," and five minute hidden track of absolute nonsense (but fun nonsense!). One of the things I like most about this band is that despite the fact that they are very talented musicians, they haven't let it go to their heads. They're in it just for fun, and this is reflected in their lyrics. The lyrics are unfortunately not printed in the liner notes, as they write "The lyrics on this album are dumb, therefore, they are not printed. If you can actually figure them out, rest assured, you're dumb too." Gotta love a band with a warped sense of humor. I really wish I could explain the sound of Big Hair to you, but sometimes a band comes along, and words just aren't enough to describe them. What does this mean? Easy. GET IT!! Call up some lonely AMiMMJ Musically this album is intense. We've become so accustomed to thinking that a fiddle is only a country music instrument that we don't really realize how well it fits with other styles of music. The musicianship is very tight, and the bass player is extremely impressive (he is listed in the liner notes as "That Tod Guy"). The result of all WLHU DJ and bug the hell out of them to play this. Yes, it's this odd and this good. This is definitely a must for those of you into bands such as Primus. As I stated earlier, there are tons of great releases out and many soon to come out. Keep a look out for new releases from White Zombie, Gorefest, Orange 9mm, Deicide, Quicksand, and the comeback of one of the all-time greatest bands. King Crimson. Maybe one of these will be next week's review, but then again, with all the great releases coming out, who knows what will pop up. Stay tuned.

Friday, April 7,1995 Eagle Eye 7 Ladies score two wins Lacrosse by Robin Moyer Jr. Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_ Despite its early season troubles and a number of one-point losses, the LHU lacrosse team seems to have turned things around by winning a close game against Millersville on Wednesday. With the first three games being decided by one point and all in the opponent's favor, the Lady Eagles found themselves in an early season hole. They dropped their first three games to Washington and Lee, Bucknell and Ithaca. "In our first three games we played well, Volley ers take tournament by Suzanne Shultz Eagle Eye Sports Editor_ Last Saturday the Lady Eagles volleyball team went into their tournament with confidence and came out with a win. The team won four matches in order to advance to the finals and win the tournament. LHU faced a pool containing top teams like Mercy Hurst College, Slippery Rock University, and a team consisting of Edinboro University all-star alumni. After beating all three of those teams, the Ladies advanced to the semifinals where they faced California Universtiy. They won two out of three games and won the match. The volleyers then again faced the Edinboro alumni in the finals and beat them 2-0. Head Coach Tom Justice .said things are looking up for the team, and they have improved tremendously since the fall. "I think that we will be an awfully tough team to beat in the fall," Justice stated. "We will be one of the teams to beat — barring injuries." The team will travel to Europe in May and June to try and improve their play even more by taking on some European teams. riTME// but did not finish it," Head Coach Bridget Roun said. The Lady Eagles lacrosse team then bounced back with a decisive victory over Cortland. They, however, followed that game with a loss to Bloomsburg in their first PSAC contest. From there on out the Lady Eagles have won two straight. Roun said that the game on Wednesday against Millersville was definitely the turning p)oint of the season. She said that the offense "came into its own," the defense was tough and the Lady Eagles controlled the midfield. The lacrosse team has gotten solid play from its goalie, Robin Martin and offensive threats, Caroline Gillich, Sharon Kreider, Michelle Burt and Kristen Geissler. Even though the team is stacked with solid players, Roun commented that you cannot win a lacrosse game with one premier player. "You need the 12 players on the field to be playing well in order to come out victorious." "One of our strengths this year is realizing that our goals will be achieved when we all work together," she said.

Ladies win over Clarion; lose to Ship. RBIs help Ladies in win Soltball by Amy Coles Eagle Eye Sports Reporter The Lady Eagles softball team opened conference play on Saturday with two impressive wins over PSAC-West foe Clarion. Behind an outstanding pitching performance by junior Jen Geary, who struck out seven Golden Eagles, the LHU bats exploded in game one of the doubleheader. The Lady Eagles got the scoring going early, thanks to sophomore Robin Kumpaitis. Her one-out single in the second inning sparked the LHU offense. After singles by Geary and freshman Diane Drumheller, Kumpaitis crossed the plate with the Lady Eagles' first run. It was a lead the team would not relinquish. In the second inning, Kumpaitis smashed a triple with sophomore Amy Haris on first base. The hit resulted in two LHU runs: Harris came home with Kumpaitis not far behind her, thanks to a Clarion error. Another Kumpaitis triple in the fifth, and a single by senior pinch hitter Sue Faia earned the Lady Eagles a 4-1 victory. Game two was even more one-sided in favor of the Lady Eagles. The offensive onslaught continued, en route to a 7-0 win. Kumpaitis led the way in this game as well, with two triples and two RBIs. Harris, Drumheller, junior Tiff Amore, and sophomore Roseann Mogan also drove in runs in the game. "A lot of the players finally started to hit in those games," said Head Coach Kim Lindsey. "And they hit when they needed to — with runners on base." The situation was just the opposite on Monday, however, when the Lady Eagles traveled to Shippensburg. LHU was shut out in both games against the Lady Raiders. "In those games, we couldn't score our people," said Lindsey. LHU had many opportunities in the first game to break it wide open. In every inning, the Lady Eagles had runners on base, often Perhaps disappointed with their performance in game one, LHU came out flat in the second game. The Lady Raiders made quick work of the Lady Eagles, scoring eight runs in five innings while silencing the LHU bats that were speaking volumes just 48 hours earlier. Despite the two losses, LHU remains second in the PSAC-West ~ for the time times in scoring piosition. In this game, however, there were no being.
