[ The Eagle Eye"] 12 pages (Story on page 11) Volume 51 Lock Haven University's student newspaper Issue 18 Photographer confronts the stigma surrounding AIDS Sarah Beaumont The Eagle Eye r Unconventional images of people suffering from HIV and AIDS were shown in Sloan Auditorium Tuesday evening by photographer Carolyn Jones as she offered an answer to the question, "What does AIDS look like?" Despite the brisk winds, students filled the auditorium to hear Jones discuss the slide show, accompanied by music, displaying the faces of HIV and AIDS victims wearing smiles and living their lives like ordinary human beings, in Jones' presentation "Living Proof: a n Hi Courage in the Face of AIDS." Tears were shed as Jones emphasized that the face of AIDS could be anyone and that the reason behind this project was to allow an opportunity to see a side of AIDS that is usually kept hidden: the positive side. "Their stories are why I am here," Jones said. Denise Warner, chairman of the Speech and Theatre Department, said, "It's truly wonderful to see this side of it." Warner has had the personal experience of coping with the deaths of college friends and colleagues from the AIDS virus. Drawing from the experience Jones had from losing h talk to her friend and did not know how to handle the fact that he was dying from AIDS. The project began in 1992 when a fellow friend, George DiCipio (who is HIV positive), approached Jones after he had been hospitalized with pneumonia. He gave Jones the idea to photograph the living side of AIDS because it struck him that there wasn't anything positive shown about AIDS. Jones, who lives in New York City, then posted flyers all over Manhattan saying, "If you're living positively with HIV or AIDS, call me." Skeptical at first if anyone would be willing to reveal their identity to the world through photographs. Jones began receiving over 100 calls from people around the country. One volunteer came forth because it was "too destructive to keep inside." The original idea had been to take three or four vol- (See Program on page 2) Speaker talks of ending violence and restoring peace in Ireland .- Integrated education, starting with children is place to begin Jessie LaCroix The Eagle Eye Carolyn Jones signs a copy of her book "Living Proof" for an audience ter her presentation, "Living Proof Courage in the Face of AIDS." bei il Tara Gilbert/The Eagle Eye guson, of the Hope University College of Liverpool.

Since the program began three years ago, a small number of University students have volunteered to become a mentor to a child each month. A beginning volunteer will spend up to six hours once a month with his or her little brother or sister. After a year in the program the student may choose to increase the time spent with their child to two hours a week. "It's a commitment," Mantzoros admits, but college students sometimes minimize the importance their actions can have on a child. Children in the area develop an interest in post-secondary education that they perhaps had not held before their interaction with a big brother or big sister. "They (the children) find they want to go to college, where beforehand they perhaps did not," stated Mantzoros. Children involved in the program are awarded a first hand look at the University as students are able to bring their new little friends onto campus, spending time with them in the dorm rooms and places like the PUB or the gymnasium. The qualifications to become a big brother or sifter require a student lo follow a process that lasts typical'.\y up to a month and a half. References on behalf of the student are Weather as Tussey Mountain and various amusement parks from around the state. The fact that college students are pulled from the community to get involved with local youths is not uncommon. "It's real typical that the organization draws interest from a university town," said Mantzoros. According to Mantzoros, Penn State and other schools are also involved in the same practices and some of the branches even have a separate program with the university itself. Next year there is a possibility that Clinton County will form such an expansion, making a separate branch of the program specifically for the University, said Mantzoros. At this point in time the organization intends to "let (University students) know that we're near," she said. The Clinton County Big Brothers, Big Sisters organization is located in the Garden building across from the Roxie movie theater. \ . -S.

Club participants in the spring semester are looked upon favorably when it comes time for budget disbursement, she said. "There was a lot of success with the amount of clubs and organizations that were present," said Paul Early, an (SCC) senator. Early also said he saw parents walking through and asking questions. Scott Gilbert, speaker of the SCC and part of the Haven Activities Council, said there weren't a lot of clubs that participated this semester and was "surprised by the amount of clubs that forgot about the fair." Gilbert said he saw a few reserved tables that were empty all day. Plans for next year's club fair are already underway. There have been discussions of having just one fair next year, which would be held during the first two weeks of the fall semester. Senators hope that having it early in the semester will help encourage participation from the freshmen and other new students. Thoughts for holding the fair outside in a pedestrian area or in Bentley Hall have also been suggested. Speaker from page 1 "We must fix our identity in our heads. We can either see ourselves as being Irish or British in conflict, or we can see ourselves as Irish and British and become one in our idenlity. Then things can change." Fcrguson said. He concluded the speech on a hopeful note saying, "We must learn to walk before we can run." Ferguson feels that if people look to the psychology of thc situation. then they may be able to identify their problems and begin to solve them.

For the next few years, black and white pictures were taken of those that volunteered with something that represented what they love. In 1994, Jones gave the first presentation of photographs on World AIDS Day at the World Trade Center. It was after that when Jones decided the next step was to put together a book.

Randy Trutt, a University student, has had to deal with losing his best friend to AIDS and is struggling with a family learning to cope with AIDS.

If it was not for her family, Jones does not feel that she would have been prepared to handle the emotion involved in making the "Living Proof project. Even though her family is very conservative, it is her mother that taught her how to love and her father that taught her compassion; two essential qualities to understanding and coping with everything involved with AIDS. When questioned as to why she did this, since it was not her problem to deal with, Jones' response is, "It (AIDS) affects all of us and involves KB m m\\\ Bf&»* IB mmm all of us." B \\m * Dr. Neil Ferguson Students be own responsibility toId nutritional facts in food; Bentley not to blame Dr. Saundra Hybels News Reporting Class . Not knowing what is in the food students are eating is problem enough; moreover, exactly where the food comes from appears to be a mystery to Bentley Dining Hall management as well. Nick Zolak, general manager of the Wood Food Service Company, and Brian Mowen, production manager for the Wood Co., both claim that the majority of the diary products come from Williamsport. However, when observing the food packages located in the main kitchen's refrigerator, as well as speaking with Bentley Leader Jimmy Dennehy, it was determined that diary products are delivered from Harrisburg. AlC most all of the other food is delivered from distributors >; all located within a three-hour radius. S Perhaps one of the strongest and most conscience susJjj tainable environmental decisions made by Bentley is the B fact that is purchases its food locally. Having food deJ livered from the West Coast of the South always poses questions about cost effectiveness, freshness of the food S ] by the time it arrives and the types of food based on the I'-season. K To be a mortf sustainable and food conscientious uniC versity, there are several changes that Lock Haven Unih versity should make; such as educating staffand students j i about issues like nutritional content of the food being I. served in Bentley. R According to a recent survey conducted of 100 stu! dents, 59 percent stated that they would like to see the labeling of the nutritional content of the food served at -. - J Bentley. Bentley Series: Part Three of Three ing the labels is non-existent. Therefore, the only re- quired daily label changes would be in the main line. Also, there is a five-week cycle that is developed especially for the main line, so the labels can be developed ahead of t ime and used over and over. According to a student survey, the most requested and liked foods in the upper level of Bentley are chicken patties, pizza, soup and salad bar, shepherd's pie and French-fries. If one-step-at-a-time is the approach that Bentley wants to take, them maybe it can start with the labeling of the most popular foods to see how students will react to it. Although Bentley does make an attempt to educate stduents about the nutritional content of the food by having a dietician come in once a month, it would benefit the students if she made more visits and actually had contact with them. Walking around to different tables and providing them with an array of handouts could provide them with more information about what they are eating. Furthermore, the entire Bentley Dining Hall staff should be willing and able to provide any nutritional information that is requested by students. With the modern concern for nutrition, the workers should expect that the students are going to want to know this information. Obviously, it is not required for every employee to know every fact about every food, but knowing where the resources are to obtain the information is essential. Bently Dining Hall workers are not the only facilitators that are responsible for educating students about nutrition. Some coaches are informing students athletes at the University about the necessity of proper eating. For example, in the football team's off-season, an entire packet, designed to provide the guidelines for a healthy diet, is distributed to the players. Also, the field hockey coach, Pat Rudy, makes sure that her players cat properly before games. Rudy attempts to ensure that no greasy food is consumed by her players before a game. Another step being taken by the athletic department is the hiring of a full-time nutritionalist to work with all the With the help of the food committee of the Student Council (SCC), which consists of several '. students, Bentley management could easily work with ;'" the committee to post the labels requested by the stu•' dents.

Un etectable drugs prove popular among athletes Jess Dhaliwal The Daily Free Press — Ten years ago, the dangers of anabolic steroid use among athletes was recognized in practically every home in America. While some say obtaining steroids is still as easy as buying marijuana, the latest problem in sports is from a new generation of drugs-drugs that are fatal, deeply rooted in athletics, and most importantly, not detectable by standard drug tests. Human growth hormone, or hGH, erythropoietin, or EPO, and testosterone "doping" are commonplace in athletics but relatively unknown to the public. EPO and hGH slip past current drug tests, and the International Olympic Committee allows a great deal of breathing room for testosterone abuse. "It's definitely going on more than most people think," said Marty Curley, the strength and conditioning coach at The University ofMassachusetts at Boston. "A (U-WIRE) BOSTON, Mass. lot of college athletes are trying hGH and testosterone because they aren't looking at the whole picture. They just want quick success and they get addicted to the feeling of strength and invincibility they get." EPO, called the blood-doping drug, is used by athletes for endurance. By stimulating the body to make more red blood cells, EPO can increase the body's oxygen reserve, leading to increased stamina and longer workouts. But injecting too much EPO can make blood so thick that it can cause heart attacks, blood clots and strokes. EPO cannot be detected by urine tests because the drug simply increases the user's own red blood cells. The International Cycling Union has set a blood solid level of 50 percent in an effort to deter EPO use. "There are a lot of athletes who want to level the playing field," said Dr. Melvin Williams, author of "The Ergogenics Edge: Pushing the Limits of Sports (See Athletes on page 3) The February 26, 1999 1 Eagle Eye Universities unite to fight campus binge drinking Student.Com Correspondent !- „ ° . . . . , .. . , ' . , . . ,, , . . . _ . ,, ... . . . . . . , . _ , , , It wasn't exactly signed that way, but officials from the universities and colleges in the Boston area arc camtaking their agreement to fight *" I" binge i? i ipus dnnkinu as senously i as a hi) )d oath ., c ,• . ,, , , , - , • ,• . : i in the carls slanes ol implc„ .k. u, .u i 1-! mentation, the IS schools who Now K1 signed the Higher Education Task pact will soon put into action Force \ ■ v i for paring their recommendations , , ,■ and eventuallyJ eliminating down I*. ■ f dnnkinu anion" underage stubinsze ■ ,,\ tK * then campuses. dents on...,;,i, ,i,, ii.., ,i,.,,i a i with thc colleges, the task Along „ f. o ii rCoalition force inc udes the Boston , ,., , ii, D Against Drugs, Boston two urn*■: ,, rand \ work ,to that bre a , organizations c „. „_. i ■ 1 lhe groups violence, fight drugs and ,L ' ,., i u ...uu ii are also collaborating with thc e n s on ce.

"If I am an athlete and I know my competitor is taking EPO, I know he can get an advantage of six seconds per mile," Williams said. "Of course I'm going to take EPO, too. It could he devastating if I didn't." Research has proven that hGH can increase thc body's ability to burn fat. but some athletes use it because they believe it helps increase muscle mass, even though studies have proven otherwise. Athletes who abuse hGH can develop acromegaly, a disease that causes an enlargement of the bones of the head, hands and feet. More commonly, hGH causes fluid retention, high blood pressure, numbness in the fingers and an increase in blood sugar. Because the body natu- rally makes hGH, tests have not been implemented to detect its abuse. Testosterone, a normal hormone from which most steroids are derived, is detectable by urine testing. Testosterone is believed to work by attaching to specific receptors on cells, which stimulates protein synthesis. This causes an increase in muscle mass and strength, said Dr. Kevin Yarasheski. a physiologist at Washington University School of Medicine. Testosterone is so effective it can even increase the muscle growth rate in normal men who don't exercise, according to a recent study by the New England Journal of Medicine. The hormone has both internal and superficial side effects. It causes an increase in low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or bad cholesterol, and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or good cholesterol. In men, testosterone can cause testicular atrophy, or the s hrinking of the testicles, and prostate growth. Male athletes can also develop gynecomastia, or the growth of breast tissue, as the body converts the excess testosterone to estrogen. In women, it has a masculinizing effect, stimulating the growth of facial hair, balding and acne. "I've seen athletes develop some serious side effects years alter they stop using testosterone.'' said Scott McKenzie, a trainer at Gold's Gym in Boston. "I've seen liver damage, major hormone imbalance, rage, anxiety, joint and muscle pain." Men normally produce seven milligrams of testosterone a day, and the International Olympic Committee allows athletes to have five times their normal amount. Since most athletes who abuse the hormone do it during training, not before competitions, few actually test positive, Williams said. Experts believe that athletes aren't educated about the dangers of drugs early enough. Because drugs arc offered as early as middle school, many believe education should start even earlier. Others have proposed freezing urine samples until better tests are developed, or even changing to blood testing. "Winninsi a noId medal is now more important than health," Yarasheski said. "Studies on schoolchildren have shown that they would win a gold medal even it they knew they were going to die a year later of liver disease. Sharpen Your Writing Skills.

However, I also try to disclaim the news by saying that I don't know if it's true or not. Whether or not that makes a difference, I do not know, and I can't say I disclaim my gossip all the time either. Sometimes you assume something is true before getting all thc facts and you tell someone else. That can cause quite a few problems among friends.

And thc stories that arise Bureau of Consular Affairs offers spring break saftey information As the time approaches for spring or summer breaks, many college students are getting ready for that much anticipated trip abroad. Most will have a safe and enjoyable adventure, but for some, the trip will become a nightmare. Most ruined vacations are caused by one or more of the following: drugs, alcohol and alcohol. Each year, more than 2,500 American citizens are arrested abroad-about half on drug-related charges, including possession of very small amounts of these substances. A drug that may be legal in one country may not be legal in a neighboring nation.

Some young Americans go abroad assuming that local authorities will overlook such conduct. Many believe that they are immune from prosecution in foreign lands because they are American citizens. The truth is that Americans are expected to obey all laws and those who break foreign laws sometimes face severe penalties. Disorderly or reckless behavior is also to be avoided. In many countries, conduct that would not result in an arrest here in the U.S. constitutes a violation of local law. It is crucial that young Americans be aware of this risk as they are enjoy- people are victimized, because they are unaware of the laws, customs, or standards of thc country they are visiting.

First love yourself, then love others I knew as soon as I wrote about "It could have been worse" things were going to happen and guess; out of thc three things that happened where two occurred...Bentley Hall...but both offenses were fixed soon or right after the fact. The first was a blaring overlook of Black History Month. They (Bentley) sends out a monthly calender with what is to be served and lists the specific special days. They had all types of days...Turkey Carving Day, After Valentine's dinner but nothing for Black History. Not a piece of Fried Chicken, a patch of collard greens, not even a candied yam. But I will commend them for the rebound. Sunday they did have a dinner that I might say was alright. The second offense was, I went downstairs one evening...was informed that is was too late to use my meal so I had to flex my food in the "nictiest" (nice\nasty) way, to pay for the wings that I ordered...no problem. I get back to my room and pop in a classic movie (Thc Mack) and thought I was going to eat my dinner while I watch thc movie. I ate one and then another but then I bit into the third and got a mouth full ofred uncooked chicken. I was heated...time and lime again I find myself booting up Bentley, when people complain I say it ain't that bad. But that was the end of the line. Now, they did lake care of me when I took them back over but there goes that saying again..."Action not Reaction" is the key. On Saturday, I was traveling with an organization, representing thc University and we got that van again. Come on, you know, the one with the scratch on the side and has a mound full of dirt on the floor. It seems as though they use that van to transport dirt from thc baseball field; it is that dirty. Then on top of that, the heat barely works. So we just about froze going and coming from the engagement. I would say it is time to get it fixed or ditch it...please. It's kind ol embarrassing to have Lock Haven University on the side. Also, last week I wrote about some of the students prior to me who made Lock Haven a little better place for me to attend now and I neglected to mention a few who keep me real and keep me going when I get down. So to James "Silk" Burrell, Fabian Smart, Gabc Cruz, Eric Holcms and Phil McKinney, good look. On a different note, I've to go somewhere where I rarely would go but I hear so many people talking daily about relationships and that word we all know...Love. Surprisingly, males and females are often talking about thc issue. So first let's get a common definition for the word love. In the Merriam Webster dictionary it is defined as a strong affection toward someone or something. Going deeper there are three types oflove and many people mistakenly place it into onc. The three types are philios, erotikos/eros and agape. The first kind of love in the greek is Philos...where we developed the word Philadelphia or brotherly love...ok and sisterly affection. I can recall comedian Martain Lavvcrencc talking about his in one of his stand up shows. That is how we love our friends more than our mate. Wc emphasize everything around them and find ourselves not spending the quality time "QT" and our mate gets jealous and that leads to other things that I won't get into this week. The next kind of love in the greek is Erotikos/Eros, where we developed the word Erotic in the English language of love describing sexual love and desire. Here in college I think a lot of students might be suffering from this type. But sometimes people can't help that. Some people grow up in the type ofenvironment where they are taught in many different ways that sex means love and when it is continuous that becomes their meaning of love, and they think that it is more than what it is when the sex is gone. them? I comLove because of looks What if that person,s looks change? Will you still and will hope mend those students in relationships now that have gotten past this type of that they will show the way to so many others on how they got to that level. A lot of times I hear ladies say, "but he said he lloovvcedd me last week a he is with siimeonc else this week." I would say if ya'll were sexually active that is a definite se of the erotikos or erotic JUST THINK!

Call 893-2334 Ms. Velaquez, my 9th grade English teacher, made this statement directed to the young ladies in class and I am not agreeing with it or saying that it is wrong but "if a man/woman wants some ice cream and he/she can't get it at home...he/she will get it elsewhere. So don't get mad if he/she leaves you for x,y or z." In some ways, 1 will say that I do strongly agree. If someone finds something that brings pleasure he/she is going to do what they need to do to get it. Holler at me if I am wrong...if you like your back rubbed your shoulders touched that certain way and papa don't want to do it what are you going to do? Stay with him or get that pleasurable feeling again and again? And that last type of love...Agape...unconditional...when you are in the state of wonder and amazement. It takes a lot to get here but once you do, you're on the ball. Sandrea Johnson, a former BSU president stated in the Unity Day rally last year that "the only way that you can help others is to love and know yourself." I say so true. The very first way to get to the agape...love is to know and love yourself and a lot of times a lot of people look for love in the wrong places. Why? because they don't know and love themselves. Finding that secret place It might be an alter, a room, a desk something somewhere you can sit and find and get to know yourself. How do you expect to love someone else or want someone to love you when you don't even take care of yourself? You are doing this and that, worrying about that and this and expect to find someone and you are walking around pulling your hair out looking. Leave it alone...if it is supposed to happen...it will happen. Once you find that secret place, I really believe things will change. You will have more pride in things you do and everything about thc way that you go about doing those things. Think about it...when you knew yourself and had confidence that you could get it done...things got done. But when you lose that and lose interest in yourself you begin to swarm and that is when you become inconsistent. That secret place. Back to agape love in relationships. I strongly believe that there are two stages before you can get to that level. Like and infatuation. When you first meet someone and it is all sweet and googalydoo, that is that stage. Talking on the phone half the night knowing you are going to see thc person the next day, or sitting in the cafe or in class playing eye tag. A lot of times a lot of people just skip over this stage and that is where they mess up. They go right to the erotikos or infatuation stage and skip over learning the little things, and getting past the outward appearance. This is when you get thc touchy feelies and begin experimenting to find out what makes the other person tick. But once you find that secret place for yourself and begin genuinely loving yourself, if you are able make it though the liking and infatuation stages you are good to go. You will first have the security in who you are and that lets you know your boundaries of what is and what isn't expected out of that relationship. Once you do that you can set goals and evaluate what might happen down the road...is this just a college thing or could this really be a life thing? Onc area that a lot of people miss or don't even think of is when they go into things thinking that it will last a lifetime when they didn't even communicate what the other person wanted out of the friendship. And a lot oftimes people mistake college relationships/friendships to be lifetime things. Sitting here writing about love, I am reminded about thc Holy Bible; St. John 3:16 reads "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son..." But that was the ultimate example of agape love. He loved us so much that he gave a life...would you? COLUMNISTS NEEDED Have an opinion? Want to be heard by all of LHU? Become a columnist!

James, featured at Lock Haven University on Wednesday, February 17, the soulful southern music of rural South Carolina was inescapable in childhood. His earliest influence came from his Uncle Henry, a guitar-strumming role model whose "favorite key was whiskey," and blues and gospel musicprevailed throughout his community, a icgion known as the "Piedmont Blues" of here." James also provided comic relief with a rendition of "Professor K.J. James: area. "A lot of blues music has its own geographical area of identification," explained James. "I can't remember not hearing the blues." In addition, blues legends Lightnin' Hopkins, a well-known Texas bluesman. and Muddy Waters, identified as the originator of the "Chicago Blues." impacted the development of James' music. The name recognition of the performers coupled with their compelling and original expressions inspired James to portray himself through his naturally rich voice and instrumental talent. "Those two guys influenced me quite a hit. as a singer more than anything else, and then as someone who really felt thc blues as they played and sang them," said .1 ames.

A smart, new anthology of stories, essays and poems all about condoms attempts to rectify that. "Getting it On: A Condom Reader" illustrates the significant but often overlooked roles the condom occupies in our dayto-day life. - - Joao Fernandes (left) jams the blues on his harmonica with musician K.J.

Although James has over 500 songs in his repertoire, he admitted that there are certain songs he repeats regularly. "If you hear me every night of the week, you'll probably hear those four or five that I like a lot," he explained. "It's almost like they've been road tested. I know they're going to work, I know people are going to love them. I mix a lot of stuff around those songs, but you'll hear those babies every time." In a spontaneous addition to James' performance at Lock Haven University, student Joao Fernandes accompanied James on stage with a harmonica. The pair improvised together to rouse the audience and produce a remarkable blues sound. One of America's best loved film critics died at the age of 53 Gene Siskel, a man who helped shape film criticism as we know it, died Saturday morning at the age of 53 in Chicago, Illinois. Siskel is best known for his syndicated show, "Siskel & Ebert," which he created with his longtime professional partner, Roger Ebert." For nearly a quarter century, the pair influenced and entertained millions of people with their opinions on and gibes at current films. They became part 1976 as a monthly program and after two successful seasons was renamed "Sneak Previews." By the fourth season, the show became a weekly series, and in 1981 it moved to commercial television as "At the Movies." In 1986 Buena Vista Television launched the show in national syndication, calling it "Siskel & Ebert." The critics quickly soared in popularity and soon became household names and a staple in the world of American entertainment.

The Ahn Trio started their day at LHU with a workshop where they performed pieces for the University's students and staff to tease their performance. They also answered thc students questions and played solos on their respective instruments for thc audience. The trio showed eagerness and kindness during this time. The Ahn Trio enjoys playing all types of music and exemplifying all periods of music. "Wc don't prefer any onc period." said pianist Lucia. "We like to present all periods." which they did. The trio started thc evening by playing pieces created by Ludwig Beethoven. Alter the intermission they brought their electricity back on stage and presented their unplugged portion of their talent. The pieces that were played included: "The Embrace," featuring Maria on the cello; "All in Perfect Thing," featuring Angella and her violin and "The Heart Asks Pleasure First," featuring Lucia on the piano. They ended the evening with a familiar piece that raised the spirit of the audience and left them singing. Thc piece, "Hey Jude."

But unless those talents are shared, a person's individual creativity is forever hidden. A few Lock Haven University students and faculty members shared their talents this past weekend. Friday evening in the Sloan Countdown Theater, a group of students and faculty dissipated in Individual Insights, which is a presentation of creativity sponsored by the Lock Haven University Players. The evening opened with Stephen Marchion on acoustic guitar playing a few songs that he composed. Jennifer Johns then read selected poems from her book, "A Friend is Forever."

I Love, Jena Men are Dying" I \ March 8 p.m. PUBMPR by HAC and the SCC I J Not everybody goes south for pnng rea Joe Tighe The Eagle So there we were. It was one o'clock in the morning and it looked like Spring Break was going to be spent at my parent's house trying to avoid the freezing cold temperatures outside. I kept on thinking to myself, if only I were 21, then we could at least go to thc bar, or something. Then it dawned on me; the legal age is only 18 up in Canada. I told my friend Tony about my epiphany, and he thoroughly agreed that it would suit us well to blow the four hundred dollars we had between us on hotel rooms and alcohol 500 miles north. We loaded our meager possessions into my Plymouth Horizon, which we referred to affectionately as "the whore." checked the oil and gas tank, and started our journey. The first hour was spent rationalizing our current actions and deciding what to do if "the whore" broke down. The car already had 110,000 miles on it and was in pretty bad shape. We also thought about what we would do about the customs if they decided to search the car. God knows, it was not very clean. After we epitomized our paranoia, we figured it was time to relax. The night was long, and the headlights barely cut through the souplike snow that was falling in torrents all around us. We were moving at about 40 miles per hour through upstate New York in the middle of a freak snowstorm. The windows were up and Tony and I found that my "whore" had an exhaust leak. The fumes came in through a hole at the back of the glove compartment and Tony and I thought that we were just getting carsick, until we realized that wc were actually being poisoned via carbon monoxide, liuty. malevolent problem was solved by stuffing socks and empty McDonald's bags into thc vacancy left by the rust decay. The car ended up smelling like a guy with a weight problem coming from the gym. It was so nasty that we finally eschewed heat and comfort all together and rolled the windows down to gel some air. The sun rose sometime while we weren't paying attention, and by thc time we knew it. we were passing through the gates to C anada at some rinkv-dink customs crossine. The of- ficer took a double take at "the whore." What he saw were two guys all dressed up in every article of clothing they could find, and were driving this car that sounded like the apocalypse because of a horrible exhaust leak, which was all covered in stickers proclaiming what music they listened to with the windows down regardless of the artic temperatures, and a glove box full of trash while smiling and smoking cigarettes at the wee hours of the morning. He waved us by with what was probably his first laugh of the day, given it was about six o'clock in the morning. It was a good full-bellied laugh at that and I'm sure he was glad we chose his gate for our comical entrance. "The whore" roared off from the toll booth and entered Ontario. We spent the rest of the morning making it to Montreal. Tony and I figured that going to a country that spoke only French would be somewhat comparable to actually going to, say, Paris. It was, in its own way. We found a hotel that cost only thirty bucks a night for two people. The room had two beds, a TV., and a toilet. It was cheap, so we loved it. Thc shower was a great big communal thing at the end of the hall. That part was not necessarily loved. The shower, to me, is kind of a personal thing, if you know what I mean. Wc threw our stuff onto the mattresses and cleaned ourselves up. Then we tried the TV. and found that we didn't understand French too well. So, we hit the bars. We sauntered up Crescent Street and gazed at the long lines of alehouses that we conveniently shoved in to wherever there was room. One bar we found, and if you go you need to check out, is called Hurley's. The name kind of gives a negative connotation, hut the inside of this place is it is no much to the contrary.

Men's lacrosse is a contact sport but violence is neither condoned nor allowed, according to the rule book. The club has a membership in the National Colligiate Lacrosse League (NCLL) which means that thc team can get a national ranking. The club began to take shape when Pelc started the paperwork last spring. It was approved this fall, and they begin play this spring. Penn State, Lehigh and Bucknell are among the teams they will meet. The club will be selling T-shirts soon. Interested students are encouraged to join, practices are from 8-10 p.m. every night. Volunteers are also needed for games to help with time keeping and scoring. Those interested can call Pelc at 893-6654 or vice-president Cory Swart/, Each team fields 10 players; three defenders, three midfielders, three attackers and one goalie.
