s e e candidates discuss fresh ideas by Jennifer Bowes. Eagle Eye News Editor_ Around 20 interested persons attended the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) Election Debate Wednesday evening to hear candidates disclose what they plan to contribute to the organization if elected. Two candidates are running for each of the three offices in contest: president, vice president and treasurer. With the new SCC Constitution in place, these are the only three offices now determined by a student election. The candidates for the office of president are Michael Leimbach, a sophomore, and Jamie Piraino, a junior. Candidates for the vice presidency include Larry Flint, a sophomore, and Joseph P. Harkins, Jr., a junior. Running for treasurer are Carrie Ahles, a junior, and Stephanie R. Kline, a junior, who is up for reelection. The six candidates have divided into two campaigning parties. One is composed of Piraino, Flint and Kline and the other, Leimbach, Harkins and Ahles. Each candidate will be voted for individually on the ballot, however. One party wishes to use their past experience with the SCC to enhance the organization- and the other party wishes to bring new ideas into the SCC. -"I'd like to serve the student body in the best way that I know how," began Leimbach. He said he believes he has some very interesting and creative ideas and will work with the student body to help come up with some answers to the problems on campus. He cited four years of experience in student government, as he structured his high school government and constitution and has been an SCC senator. Piraino said he began as a SCC senator last spring. As the current SCC corresponding secretary, he transformed a position which was formerly inactive into a "leadership role." Piraino hopes to develop the new SCC constitution if elected. "I feel the next year is very important for the implementation and smooth transition of this constitution," Piraino said. Through his planning and thorough work with the new constitution, Piraino feels he is the most qualified pterson to handle this transition. Besides working with the new constitution, Piraino plans to hit the legislative front this summer, before the budgets are passed, if elected. "There are a lot of proposed cuts for the [State System of Higher Education] schools," he said. "We really have to get out and hit that front real hard rather than be in trouble next year." Piraino also wants to bring a lawyer on campus so students can obtain the legal advice that they may need. Lfcimbach plans to hold a student forum right away for both on-campus students and commuters so that he can get a feel for what students feel is both right and wrong about the University. Regularly held student forums would also become an occurrence. He also hopes to work with government officials that he knows in his hometown, Harrisburg, to see if more financial aid could be allocated to students. Leimbach would also provide SCC Election Candidates conveyed their positions to an audience in the Hall of Flags Wednesday evening. Pictured from left are Stephanie R. Kline, Larry Flint, Jamie Piraino, current SCC vice president Douglas Bicket, Michael Leimbach, Joseph P. Harkins, Jr., and Carrie Ahles (photo by Karl McCollester). periodic tours of the residence halls. Flint feels the biggest problem facing our campus is student involvement, which is mainly due to poor public relations. To improve this situation, the SCC next year hopes to start a monthly newsletter which will list events and activities and have central, rather than random, bulletin boards on campus. In response to a question regarding senator attendance at SCC meetings, Flint said he feels students will feel more welcome with the new constitution since it provides more senate involvement and this is already a big step. Harkins said he would deal with senator absenteeism with a penalty policy. A senator missing two or three meetings would give up their senatorship or provide a form of community service. Harkins feels the student involvement problem is caused by a lack of communication between the students and the student government as to what events are happening on campus. He also advocates bulletin boards and an off-campus student forum every two to three weeks to let students know what is happening. Kline feels she is qualified for the job because she is a economics and finance major. "My life is working in figures," she laughed. She said she knows how to organize and run the budget and produce financial analyses and financial statements. If re-elected, Kline would work with Piraino to bring a lawyer to campus for students. She also wishes to increase interactions between clubs, organizations and the SCC and increase public relations. Being treasurer, you have to know how to allocate money and budget the money properly for what is best for the student body, Kline said. Through the already-instituted Reorganization Act of 1994, clubs and organizations are divided into different categories which determine how much money they receive. This act has already affected how clubs are funded and will be in the future, she said. Ahles feels that since she has been actively involved with the students for the past fews years and is very "student-minded," she has an idea of what the students want. "Being that I hear what they're asking for and know what they want, I can tell where they would prefer their money to go and what (see Debate page 2) VOTING SITES * VOTING SITES * VOTING SITES * VOTING SITES * VOTING SITES * VOTING SITES Tyesd^y, April 4 PUB Business Office, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Benjley Dining Hall, 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. McEntire Hall, 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. Gross Hall, 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. PUB Front Desk (Upstairs), 4 p.m. - midnight News (pp:l-4) A University student is organizing students to join the walk for Multiple Sclerosis April 23. • (see story page 3) ^^ ^ ^ ^ Classifieds (pp: 9) Meetings, announcements, help wanted listings, apartments for rent, club announcements, personals.

This new attraction is called Netscape and it is, according to Jeff Walker of the Computing Center, a graphical user interface browser to the INTERnet. In other words, it will be a window the user can get into as a multi-media browser of the INTERnet. The University picked Netscape because of the ease in getting information from it and to stay current with technology. It is also the faster than other programs, Walker The campus will benefit from the program because people outside of campus will be able to keep in touch with the University. There is even a page that allows prospective students to request an application for admission. Walker stated, "It will allow students to become more familiar with the University through INTERnet." The address for the University will be HTTP://WWW.LHUP.EDU, according to Walker. This address does not require any passwords, just this one line. Viewing Netscape, it was filled with colorful pictures, graphics and an abundance of information. Students can find out more information about Netscape from computer magazines such as INTERnet World. said. Rogers Gym is SCC topic by Masahiro Ueda Eagle Eye News Editor_ With Executive elections just ahead, Vice President Douglas Bicket urged every senator at the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) meeting Thursday evening to make sure their constituencies know where and when to vote. "Please spread the word," said Bicket, "to get as many people as we can to vote." Carried from the last meeting, the main discussion of the evening was a bill concerning the Rogers Gymnasium referendum asking the students whether they are willing to pay an additional semester fee for its renovation. The point of the argument was the wording of the bill. The original bill read "would you be willing, in principle, to pay an additional fee, the proceeds of which would go towards the renovation of Rogers Gymnasium?" Some senators argued that since there is a fwssibility of the construction of a completely new recreational building, the bill should mention it. This motion was carried and the original bill was amended to add the sentence: or the construction of the new recreational facility, at the end of the bill. The discussion was divided in two parties: one side wanted more detailed information, including the estimated cost that would be added to the semester fee; the other side wanted the simple and concise bill. A senator who argued the estimated cost should be included in the bill said the first thing people would ask is "how much?" Another senator argued against this assertion by saying, "putting a fee is not a good idea because that would discourage people from saying yes." This argument prompted fast response from the other side. Recording .secretary, Samuel Stover said, "If they see the dollar sign and say no, that's OK. That's what we know." "This is a very general ballot, a very preliminary referendum," said Bicket. According to Bicket, this bill was initiated by President Craig Dean Willis who approached the s e e to conduct some sort of a survey to see what the general college population would think about the renovation of Rogers Gymnasium. "Therefore this referendum should be concise and self-explanatory," said Bicket. The SCC adopted the amended Rogers referendum bill, but they did not decide on the date of the referendum. The SCC adopted two other bills during yesterday's meeting. One was called "The Archives and Historical Records Enhancement Act," which aimed to provide a more efficient recording and preservation of imf)ortant SCC documents and records. The SCC also adopted the constitution of Alpha Mu Gamma, a society for foreign language students. Police Beat Retail Theft — March 29: A student failed to pay for his meal after eating at the Eaglt Rock Cafe.

Since she will be living off campus in the fall, she then feels she will have an idea of where both on campus and off campus students' interests lie. Ahles also said she would conduct a study of the Eagle Wing Snack Bar to see if management would be better held outside of the SCC. Several student questions were directed toward SCC-Residence Hall Association (RHA) relations. In response, Leimbach said the RHA is an "untapped resource" of the SCC. He would like to see more communication between the executive boards of the two and possibly mutual co-appointments in order for ideas to be exchanged. Piraino said the SCC has worked with the RHA in the past with coffeehouses and said there needs to be involvement of the two in the Haven Activities Council (HAC) so it is known what students want. < »M R D i r S WOMC PHONE.

F o r m e r Times columnist speaks Twenty years ago — Mar. 21,1975 SHIPPENSBURG - Experiencing life as a woman was the topic of former New York Times columnist Anna Quindlen when she spoke to an audience in Memorial Auditorium, March 14. The Pulitzer Prize winning columnist expressed that her concern when leaving the Times to become an author was the impact it would have on future female employees of the Times. Quindlen said that she did not want to leave the Times with men thinking women could not handle the job. Her hope was that men would not take what she wanted out of life and mistake it as what all women want. Quindlen also wanted to leave knowing that when other women took over her position, they would be given the opportunity to advance. Quindlen also explained that she is an "affirmative action baby." She got her job because affirmative action made it possible. She believes the program helps both women and men. The action aids qualified women in obtaining jobs and it allows men to choose family life over a career^ As an author, Quindlen has many publications. Two of her newest books are Objective Lessons, a novel, and a chiltiren'sJjook titled The Tree That Come to Stay. A resolution which raised dormitory room rent to $468 an academic year was approved by a vote of 6-2 at yesterday's Board of Trustees meeting. The board also initiated an Ad Hoc committee to study the Varsity athletic program at Lock Haven State College (LHSC) and reviewed the college fiscal situation for the upcoming year. The Board of State College and University Directors (SCUD Board) adopted a recommendation last November that basic room charges be increased to not less than $432 per academic year or more than $468. Following this directive, board members passed a notion to raise room rent. Mary Kopp and Harris Lipez were the only members who voted against the measure, which was passed 6-2. The basic residence hall charge will be $468, with the single room fee set at $648. Eischeid was the supervisor of the overall administration program, student records and registration activities. His other major responsibilities were preparing preliminary budget information for the vice president, representing Academic Affairs on all appropriate major college wide communications and other duties as assigned by the vice president. Eischeid was a veteran of World War II. After the war was over he worked for the Red Cross in Korea. ************* Regulated parking spaces for students and faculty no longer exist.

Charges were filed in District Court 183-01 Jan. 9 by Pennsylvania Liquor Control Enforcement officer M.E. Renne. Charges stem from a Sept. 22, 1994, BLCE raid during which two undercover agents gained access to the ZTF party and allegedly observed alcohol being sold or given to minors. In addition to the furnishing charges, the STF fraternity was charged with one count of selling alcohol without a license, an unclassified misdemeanor. According to defense attorney H. John Drayer, the selling count will not be prosecuted. The raid was triggered by numerous complaints filed by neighbors of the fraternity house, according to Joe Moliterno, operating supervisor for the BLCE in Punxsutawney. In addition to the criminal charges filed against the fraternity, 72'citations for underage consumption of alcohol, a summary offense, were issued. State police from the Shippenville and Tionesta barracks, as well as Clarion Borough Police and CU Public Safety officers assisted in the raid. to overhaul athletics at the University.

" f opinion I editorial Vandalism is a big deal To the editor. Big deal! Someone vandalized United Evangelical Lutheran Church, behind Kentucky Fried Chicken, on Friday night, March 17. Who knows Why. The actual vandalism was "minor." The vandal(s) broke two windows, two exterior lights, and •removed a purple cloth (a "shroud") from a cross over the front door and tied it to the front door handle. It took less than two hours to clean up; repairs may cost the church around $300. This kind of thing happens all the time in our world. Big deal. But it is a big deal. Destructive behavior in our community is always a big deal. This vandalism is of a kind with all the harmful behaviors we see in our world today. As a society we've deluded ourselves into thinking that only the magnitude of a crime matters, whether that be the magnitude of the crime itself (e.g. the Menendez brothers), or the magnitude of the accused (e.g. O.J.). That's wrong! We can't let ourselves become desensitized to "petty"crimes. Every misdeed diminishes us. It all matters. It is a big deal. Vancjalism is not merely destructive; it is self-destructive. It is harmful to one's self. Individuals who damage property are not building character when they do so. They are harming themselves and their own moral development. While the damage to the church building was "minor," the damage to the character of these people is far worse. It is a big deal. Furthermore, van'.alism on a building is an assault on the in.stitution it represents. To vandalize a church is to attack not only religion, but also God's guidance of our society. Houses of worship are more than meeting places. They represent the presence of God and God's (leople as helpers in the world. All of us are worse off when we tolerate continued assaults on our institutions, which have been the foundation of our civilized society, up to now. It is a big deal. There is some irony here. The purple shroud that was drapied over the cross represents the suffering, crucifixion, and death of Jesus of Nazareth. The vandalism at the United, directed at that shroud, is just one more piece of suffering, crucifixion, and death that Jesus endures when God's children mistreat themselves, or another and God. The more we've excluded God from our daily affairs, the worse our world has become. But God can redeem. People don't have to look past their hearts to give God a starting f)lace. We Christians believe that through Christ's suffering, crucifixion, death and resurrection, we have the hope of forgiveness and new life. That goes for the ones who trashed the church. Every act of vandalism is a big deal. It's a call to resist the harming of people and property that has become all too commonplace. This vandalism against United Evangelical Lutheran Church reminds us what a big deal it is, of just Who Else is hurt whenever people mistreat themselves and each other. Ironically, this act of vandalism points to the One Who gives us hope for a better world. And that is a very big deal, indeed. In Christ, Christopher G.

This year's guest clinicians were Chris Vadala, director of jazz studies al the University of Maryland, specializing in woodwind instruments; Ken Brader, brass instructor at Marywood College, specializing in brass instruments; and John "Buzz" Jones, band director and theory faculty at Gettysburg College, specializing in the rhythm section. After the workshop, the sections reunited with their band and received help from each clinician for approximately 30 minutes on pieces of music which the band had already prepared. Each band played various pieces of jazz, with Sugar Valley beginning the program, followed by Lock Haven High School, Lock Haven University and the Fairview Street Jazz Combo. The Fairview Street Jazz Combo is a section Activities planned in celebration of Women ^s Month by Valerie Stinger Eagle Eye Features Reporter Sugar Valley and Lock Haven high schools joined the University in musical performances during the Sounds of Jazz Festival (photo by Karl McCollester). combination of three jazz students and the three clinicians. They had practiced for the first time together earlier Saturday afternoon. Overall, the audience enjoyed the performance. "This was our first jazz concert, and we were very pleased with it," Donald Harris said, commenting for he and his wife. At the end of the performance, the clinicians awarded certificates to the outstanding soloists and sections. Sugar Valley won six awards, and Lock Haven High won five. "" For those of you who do not know, March is Women's History Month. In honor of this, the University has prepared many activities, including a presentation titled "One Fine Day," which will include women professors from the University as well as a few students. These presenters will read works of literature about women or those which have been written by women. Some original works may be included. Deb Daniels, president of Sigma Tau Delta, an honors fraternity, commented that there will be poetry, short stories, essays and autobiographical works performed. Several women professors are participating in the event, including Dr. Karen Elias, assistant professor in the College of Arts and Science; Professor Marjorie MaddoxHafer, assistant professor of English; Dr. Saundra Hybels, professor of journalism; and Zelma Lang, instructor in the Speech and Theatre Department. This event is "trying to bring a celebration of some of the diverse and thought provoking insights by and about women as performed by faculty and students through drama, essays, fiction and poetry," Maddox-Hafer stated. "The event has been a lot of work to get together so quickly," stated Daniels, who , feels it will get easier the more they do it. She hopes to make it an annual event. Elias feels this event is an "opportunity for our campus to raise awareness of wornens issues." The event is scheduled for Monday, April 3 at 7 p.m. in the PUB Multi-Purpose Room. It is free and open to the public. Other events involving Women's History Month include a "Take Back the Night" celebration, which occurs every year in Thomas Field House. TTiis celebration will be held on Thursday, April 20 at 7 p.m. Lucille Clifton will perform a poetry reading in Sloan Auditorium on April 24 at .,7 p.m. The goal of Womens History month is to raise awareness of women's issues and make them so'visible that we do not needio have a special month dedicated to it, commented Elias. "Every month should be women's month," she stated. Alternative lifestyle hits library by Sheri Elfman Eagle Eye Features Reporter_ Two controversial children's books are being donated to Stevenson Library by the University's Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual Student League (LGBSL). The two books tell stories of children with lesbian and gay parents and the effect this has on their everyday lives. "Heather Has Two Mommies" by Leslea Newman is written in a simple way so youngsters understand it. The story is about a three year old girl. Heather, and her birth through artificial insemination. When Heather's mothers, Mama Kate, a doctor; and Mama Jane; a carpenter, send her to a play group. Heather realizes for the first time that she does not have a father. She becomes upset, and the play group leader has the children draw pictures portraying their families. The pictures show all different types of families: single-parent, stepparent, two fathers, two mothers and mothers and fathers together. Heather then understands how all different types of families are special in their own ways. The other book, "How Would You Feel If Your Dad Was Gay?," was written by two lesbian mothers, Ann Heron and Meredith Maran, with help from their sons. It is written for children between the ages of six and twelve. The story is about an eight-year-old girl, Bonnie's Nal and Tannine Salon 212 Norff) Uesper St^ Lock Haven 748-3055 TANNING SPECIALS!!

Owner, Bonnie Haines formerly of Velma's Pure Purrfection Jasmin, and her older brother, Michael, who are faced with their classmates' prejudices when their father's homosexuality is made public. Each child goes through the experience in a different way. Jasmin is upset because she does not want to hide anything about their family, whereas Michael is angry and embarras.sed. The story also shows how the students' ridicule affects another young boy, Noah, who.se mother is a lesbian. The story ends with a large a.ssembly, which includes slides depicting all types of families and how one family is not any more important than another. An interesting attribute to this book is its multi-cultural characters. The president of the LGBSL is Phileshia Dombroski. There are 10 active members., even though there are sometimes up to 15 people at meetings. The LGBSL holds discussions titled "Straight Talks" at least once a semester. These discussions are designed "to stop homophobia and to try to unite everyone" Dombrowski says. "We are a social and educational group." The LGBSL also plans road trips to meet other, larger gay organizations like the one at Penn State. ,nnmmmi<<<<<^' •< >' >< y Mon..

Sport.s 10 Eagle Eye Friday, March 31,1995 Yarger breaks the record in the 200 meters... Eagles dominate at Invitational Track by Aaron Russell Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_ Members of both the men's and women's track teams faced their intense competition with dominating performances last weekend at the Susquehanna University Invitational. The first Lock Haven athlete to take to the track was Brenda Trimble in the 10,000 meter race. Her winning time of 40 minutes and 27.22 seconds overwhelmed the field, a trend that would continue for the team throughout the day. Kyle Waite was successful in the men's weight events for Lock Haven. His throw of 44 feet, 7 inches in the shot put earned him third place honors while his 130'-6" hurl of the discus put him in sixth place overall. In the high jump, both the men and women performed well. Freshman Holly Fantaskey jumped 5'-0" to place second for the women while freshman Aaron Wynings finished in fourth place for the men with a leapof6'-4". Steve Kravitz, Amy Parkes and Natalie Jackson were simply unstoppable in their events as each defeated their opponents by considerable margins. Kravitz, coming off a knee injury, swept by the field in the 400 meters to win by over half a second (50.72). Parkes, undefeated in the hurdles this year with the exception of Nationals, cleared a trail for the competition in the 100 meter hurdles. Her time of 15.02 seconds was seven tenths of a second faster than second place, which was more than a hurdle behind. Jackson, competing in the triple jump, was hardly challenged for first place honors. The event being her specialty, Jackson was able to win by more than a foot (34'-4 3/4"). Both Jackson and Parkes also placed well in the long jump. Parkes was the runner-up with a leap of 16'-1" while Jackson finished in fifth with a jump of 15'-5". To round out a tough day of competition, Parkes was a member of the 4 x 400 meter and 4 X 100 meter relay teams, both of which garnered third place honors. Amy Yarger, Tamara Vreeland, Parkes and Tina Gilbert ran a time of 4:26.22 in the 4x400 while Parkes, Vreeland, Akena Better, and Gilbert finished the 4x100 in 52.26. Vreeland placed fifth in the 200 meters as well, having finished in a solid time of 27.13. Freshman distance runner Karen Thrapp was a double place winner on the day. Thrapp captured third place in the 3000 meter race in a time of 11:15.57 and sixth place in the 1500 meters in a time of 5:17.79. In the other distance events, senior Bob Brenner finished sixth in the 5000 meters (16.27.6) while Freshman Andy Welk finally broke free of the shadows and placed sixth in the 800 meters (2:03.4). Jason Lloyd ran a convincing race in the 400 meters (fourth in 51.79) while Ben Hayes convinced Coach Elliston that he should be entered in the 400 meter hurdles more often. His time of 59.33 earned him third place overall. Ben Steward showed a lot of guts as he made it through his first 3000 meter steeple chase. Junior George Hoffner showed great improvement in the 200 meters, as did Eric Hess in his gut-wrenching 400 meter race. By far the most exciting race of the day belonged to sophomore sensation Yarger in the 800 meters. For the first lap Yarger was content to sit behind Millersville's Jo Rupp. She had edged out Rupp at the indoor ECAC Championships, but Rupp had the reputation of being the former PSAC 800 meter and two-time ECAC cross country champion to precede her. Upon entering the second lap it appeared as though Yarger would be unable to gather the strength to push by Rupp. It had turned into a two women race and the crowd was oblivious to the other runners in the race who were now out of view. With barely 200 meters to go, Yarger executed a surge that left Rupp eating her dust. Finishing in a time of 2:16.01, Yarger not only dominated Rupp (who finished four and a half seconds back) but broke the meet's record that had been set six years before. Her time also broke Lock Haven's School record. The confrontation between Yarger and Rupp sets up a rivalry that is sure to continue throughout the season, as both Millersville and Lock Haven compete in a lot of the same meets. Coach Elliston was very pleased with his teams' at their first outdoor meet. He expressed that his athletes have a rough sea- WAMTHIE)?

"I have no doubt that this team can dig deep and persevere," Elliston commented, "and by this time next year we will have a new track to train on as well as hold our first home meets in years." Select members of the team will be traveling to William and Mary in Virginia this weekend for the prestigious Colonial Relays.
