Where is winter? Not in Pennsylvania.

Eagle Eye News Editor_

The high temperatures for Jan. 14, 15 and
16 were 63, 64 and 61, respectively. This
weather is more typical of that of spring.
This strange weather is a far cry from last
year's record lows during the week that students returned to campus.
There has also been only 1.8 inches of
snow. Last year to date, there had been
39.2 inches on the ground, according to The
Express.
The severe weather of January 1994 had
caused the University to cancel eight regular class days and also caused confusion
among students because it was not certain
whether classes would be held until the last
minute.
In response, and to deal with
similar winter weather conditions

Students who survived the "horrendous"
winter of 1994 remember it not-so-fondly.
It caused power outages, increased time for
University maintenance crews, and lost
days of class.
This year, the table has seemed to turn.
Temperatures have been running above normal, and we have seen more rain than
snow.
Last winter, maintenance personnel were
called more than 10 times to help remove
snow and ice, which could cause damage to
either University property or persons walking on campus, according to David Proctor,
director of facilities.
Over 16 snowstorms and severe weather
hit this area during the 1993-94 academic
year, he said.
So far this year maintenance crew members were called only once to work extra
hours. Nature has been kind this winter.
"Last year's winter was the worst of all in
the 10 years since I came here," Proctor
said. "TTiis year's winter is nice. We have a
lot less frustration."
Students from different parts of the world
share this feeling.

New changes make library more accessible
by Jennifer Bowes
Eagle Eye News Editor_
Stevenson Library has employed a number of new services for the spring semester, providing students with a new information database and extended librarian hours
to aid in the information search.
FirstSearch is a new bibliographic database which provides more indexes than the
cunent VISTA Access system, according
to Caryn Carr, head of reader services.
Abstracts of periodicals in any of the following areas can be accessed by the FirstSearch system: Arts and Humanities, Business and Economics, Conferences and
Proceedings, Consumer Affairs and People,
Education, Engineering and Technology,
General and Reference, both General and
Life Sciences, Medicine and Health Scienc-

es, News and Current Events, Public Affairs and Law, and Social Sciences.
While students are able to access the
VISTA system by menu on library terminals or by entering the Owl-Byte system on
a personal computer, FirstSearch must be
accessed by a librarian who will aid a student in finding the information he or she
needs.
VISTA utilizes the same search commands used on the Owl-Byte system but
FirstSearch has a different format, Carr
said.
A librarian will now be on hand to assist
students with this and all other services
both during the day and in the evening.
Study hours in the library used to be from
9-11 p.m., Carr said. During this time,
there was no staff in the library and no services were available. But this is no longer
the case.

Classifieds (p. 6)
Meetings, announcements, help wanted listings, apartments for
rent, club announcements, personals.

"[We] realized students are using the library more in the evenings and need professional assistance then," Carr said.
As a result, a librarian will be in the library from 7:30 a.m.-ll p.m. Monday
through Thursday, 7:30 a.m-4:30 p.m. on
Friday, and 2-11 p.m. on Sunday. It's a
"big change," Carr said.
Marcia Tate is the librarian who will be
working most of the evenings, Carr said.
Tate is also the librarian responsible for the
windows in which clubs display information.
The reference desk hours were also expanded from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday
through Thursday and from 12-3 p.m. on
Friday.
A student can now get reference questions
answered without even entering the library.

brary," and a librarian will reply to the request. Mail will be checked daily. Cansaid.
Those looking for periodical indexes will
find them in a new location. Cunent indexes, those from 1985-1995, have been
placed in the reference section, while older
indexes can be found in the periodicals
room. Can said. Previously, all indexes
had been located outside of the public services office.
Students may have seen a recent "library
alert" flyer alerting them to the fact that
certain textbooks may set off the new security system installed in the library last semester.
This is due to the fact that some publishers have begun to incorporate "security
strips" into their books. Can said.

SCC discusses revision to constitution
by Jennifer Bowes
Eagle Eye News Editor_
The Student Cooperative Council (SCC)
debated changes to be made to their proposed constitutional revision at the first
meeting of the semester Thursday evening
in Robinson Learning Center's Hall of
Flags.
SCC President Jason Cristofaro stated
that the first Constitutional Convention to
discuss these changes, in addition to items
discussed at the first Senate meeting, will
be held on the evening of Monday, Jan. 30
at 8 p.m. in the Parsons Union Building
(PUB) Multi-Purpose Room.
Comments made last night and at the
convention will show what changes senators and their constituencies feel need to be

Police Beat
Alcohol Violation - Jan. 22: A
resident assistant called law enforcement
after some students in the residence hall
were creating a disturbance by making a
lot of noise. A student in the hall was
cited for minor drinking after an officer
responded to the call.
Criminal Mischief - Jan. 21: An
individual picked up a Blue Yugo in
parking area #7 and turned it sideways in
the spot No damage was done to the
car.
The case is cunently under
investigation.
Alcohol violation - Jan. 20: An
individual was found guilty of an alcohol
violation in a residence hall. A resident
assistant made the call to Law
Enforcement.
Minor drinking - Jan. 17: Law
Enforcement received a call from a
person in a residence hall who said a male
student was passed out in one of the
restroom stalls. An officer responded and
found the male in the restroom stall with
the door locked. An ambulance was
requested and the male was taken to the
Lock Haven Hospital. He was cited for
underage consumption.
Theft - Jan. 8: A clock and the metal
case kept over it were reported missing
from Zimmerli Gymnasium. The metal
case was found in a trash can in
Zimmerli. The case is cunently under
investigation.

made in the new constitution, Cristofaro
said.
Another Constitutional Convention will
follow the senate's second meeting Feb. 9.
Ideas presented in both of these meetings
and conventions will lead to a final draft of
the new constitution, which the senate will
vote on Feb. 23.
"It's something we've worked hard on —
it's very important," Cristofaro said.
The new draft's main differences are a
change to more of a two-party system, a
"voice from below" rather than from
"above" and the formation of a Haven Activities Council (HAC), Cristofaro said.
The Haven Activities Council will be responsible for i^lanning and coordinating social and cultural activities on campus.
The whole idea is to give more power to
the student senate than to the executive

board, commented Treasurer Steph Kline.
A separation of power is the goal trying
to be attained, said Vice President Douglas
Bicket. 1 think we all aree that this is a
workable constitution, he added.
A two-thirds vote of the senate will pass
the constitution.
The senators spent up to two hours suggesting their ideas for change last evening.
A copy of the proposed constitution hangs
in the glass case in the upper level of the
PUB for students to view.
In other business, Cristofaro told of a
Board of Student Government Presidents'
(BSGP) meeting to be held Feb. 24 at the
Dixon Utiiversity Center in Hanisburg.
It will be one of the larger meetings, Cristofaro said. The group will meet with the
Vice Presidents for Academic Affairs from
the State System of Higher Education

The main idea behind this compressed schedule was expressed by Dr. Mary Pursell,
vice president for academic affairs, during an interview last semester.
"We believe classes are important — so important that we'd rather have shorter classes
than not having them at all," Pursell said.
This winter's unusally mild weather is believed to be caused by El Nino, a large pool of
warm water that periodically materializes in the tropical Pacific, which has also produced
the heavy rain that drained California this winter, according to the National Weather Service Climate Analysis Centei
The long-term weather forcast released by the National Weather Service says until
June at least, it will most likely be warmer than normal in most of the United States, including Pennsylvania.
However, some people are more cautious to accept this forcast. "Certainly I expect
some snow," Proctor said. "I don't think we will get over winter without any snow."
The compressed schedule is as follows:

PUB Administrator John Pellock said
that players are needed for tomorrow's 10

game room. Only two students are currently signed up to play and the tournament
will be cancelled if no more sign up today.
Dr. Dean Phelps, vice president for Finance and Administration, donated 10 pool

"greatly appreciated," Pellock said.
Renee Ashlock, director of student activi- ties, spoke of a leadership conference to be

The program would be open to officers of

encouraged to come, she said. She will encourage clubs to vote on new officers by
March 31.

Some bookstores on larger campuses
such as Penn State have security systems to
prevent textbook thefts. After textbooks are
purchased, they are deactivated, according
to Can.
As our bookstore does not have a textbook deactivator, textbooks could be deactivated by the library in order to prevent an
accidental tripping of the alarm.
It is "very devastating" for students to exit
the library and have an alarm go off. Can
said. Therefore, the "library alert" notice
recommends that students stop and have
textbooks deactivated at the library's Main
Desk if they plan to cany them in and out
of the library frequently.
,
Action will be taken by the Student Affairs office against any student deemed to
be intentionally taking a library book
through the system. Can said.
As a joint project, the librarians and computer center are trying out a new service
called "Brittanica Online," Can said. The
service will not be available to students or
faculty until the "bugs" are worked out, she
added. It will then be available through the
computer network.
Future plans for the library include a possible open house in the fall in which services will be demonstrated and a "Liaison Program," Carr said.
In the "Liaison Program," librarians
would be assigned to different departmerfts
in order to help provide information about
and build resources and provide an even
collection, according to Carr.

bring a brighter future

It's the beginning of a new semester. That
means new classes, new schedules and maybe
some extra time. Students with extra time may
want to look into the over 80 Student Cooperative Council (SCC) recognized clubs and organizations.
By getting involved in a club or organization
students can sometimes help others in the community, and have fun at the same time. Getting
involved can also mean meeting new and interesting people.
Some students may remember paying a student activity fee to the SCC every semester
along with their tuition to the University. This
activity fee fiinds most of the clubs and organizations on this campus. So by joining you are,
in essence, getting your money's worth.
Sometimes joining a club or organization can
help students in their future careers. There are a
lot of clubs designed for certain majors. Putting
on your resume that you were involved in one of
these clubs or organizations can sometimes be
the deciding factor in getting a job.
Remember what you do now can reflect on
where you end up in the future. So get involved
in a club or organization and start building your
future.

Haven is change of pace for city boy
by Colin Hanson
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Imagine for one moment that you are in
the heart of Philadelphia, surrounded by the
sights and sounds of the big city. The next
moment you are transported to what seems
an almost alien landscape of the rural countryside of Pennsylvania.
Now put yourself in the place of Steven
Williams, a 19-year-old African American
freshman from the streets of Philadelphia.
One of the first things this man from the city
noticed about Lock Haven was the stillness
and quietness which surrounded him and
how it had an almost eerie effect on the
area.
Being from a large city, a small town
seemed strange to Williams, who comes
from a place where people are bombarded
with the sounds of the city. The yelling and
screaming of people on a Center City street,
sounds of trash being hauled away by the
loud garbage trucks, and cabs backfiring as
they travel down Broad Street are all common in the city.
Now Williams finds himself in the rural
countryside of central Pennsylvania and experiences the sounds of crickets in the
woods, birds chirping in the trees, and people walking through the leaves to get to
class. These things can give a person from
the city a strange feeling — almost one of
being out of place.
Williams graduated from Franklin Learning Center, a school in Center City, where
the mixture of African Americans, Caucasians and Hispanics is very diversified even
for Philadelphia. Coming to a school where
there are less than three percent minority
students came as a major shock to him. Of
the approximately 3,700 students at Lock

Haven University, less than 150 are minorities, and of those 150, 80 are African American students.
Other students, like Williams, are shocked
when they come to a small rural community
such as Lock Haven. "They are not sure
how to act or talk when they come to a place
like this, and they are not sure how people at
the school and in town will react to them,"
Williams said. "It takes time for a minority
student to adjust to a new .school, area and
jjeople who are going to be part of a new
chapter in his or her life," he added.
It is difficult for minorities in a small
town like Lock Haven to purchase products
for themselves, said Amy Freeman, director
of cultural diversity. For example, there are
no real outlets for African American students, she said. There is not even an African American church. Freeman added.
Another problem the University faces in
attracting minority students is the curriculum is not diverse enough for them. The
courses being offered could have more to do
with African American literature and history"There should be diverse courses, and
there should be more African American faculty and staff on campus," Freeman said.
There are currently under 10 African American staff and faculty members at the University.
Freeman feels that if the University is to
continue recruiting minorities, they should
be from the suburbs and Harrisburg. If the
school was to recruit from these areas, it
would be given more urban diversity. This
would lead to a more ethnic diverseness
among students, and the shock to minority
students may be lessened.
The University is presently making
progress in improving its relations with eth-

J- All-Greek Council to host First
Annual FacuityIStaff social mixer

o

Tonight from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.,
the All-Greek Council will host the
First Armual Faculty/Staff Social
Mixer in the Parsons Union Building Multi-Purpose Room.
All 10 fraternities and sororities
will be there with all of their members to socialize and dance the night
away at this non-alcoholic semiformal affair. The All-Greek Council would love to have you join
them for a fiin filled evening complete with festive decorations, food
and great music from the 50s
through the 90s.
The purpose of this evening is to
interact in a relaxed social atmosphere with the people who are so

vitally important to the development of all of our students. The almost 400 Greeks on our campus are
an intrical part of our total campus
community.
Please reserve some time on your
calendar this evening to spend part
or all of the evening with us. We
would love to have you show off
your fancy dance steps for three
hours or just socialize quietly for an
hour. It will probably be refreshing
for you just to see the Greeks not in
their letter sweatshirts, but rather
semi-formal attire. Come join us
and help make the evening a huge
success. You are important to us
and we want to say thanks.

nic students. It is also attempting to improve relations between minority students
and faculty, as well as between the students
themselves.
A hotline to help minority students with
these relations is being looked into. This
hotline would allow students to voice their
problems and concerns about the University,
teacher relationships and relationships between one another.
The University is also trying to hire more
minority staff and faculty members. "The
University is trying to recruit more minority
staff because they are good role models for
both the minority and the majority of students on campus, but the competition is
rough and heavy," said Robert Lynch, director of social equity. "Everyone is in competition."
Only a small percentage of the more than
94,000 students in the 14 State System of
Higher Education (SSHE) schools are minorities. Minority students consist of African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Native Americans.
The State System is
encouraging more minorities to attend its
universities through the Excellence and Equity plan, which hopes to build a new community within the State System.
Lock Haven University has attempted to
recruit more minority students by hiring a
full-time minority recruiter, Dennis Mejias.
"The primary motivation for hiring a fulltime recruiter was to recruit African Americans," said Joe Couldran, director of recruiting.
Enrollment of African American students
at the University has doubled since the
spring semester of 1994. "There are two
main reasons for encouraging the attraction
of minority students," said University President Dr. Craig Dean Willis. "First, it is the

right thing to do, and second, by the year
2000, one in every three people graduating
from high school will be a person of color."
One problem faced by the Unfversity is
retaining African American students. "The
biggest challenge is not the students coming
in but the retention of the students already
here," Couldran said. "Both retention and
recruitment are a challenge for any school,
but both are heading in a fjositive direction."
Many minority students prefer to attend
universities closer to their homes, Williams
said. That is one of the problems facing institutions such as Lock Haven.
Some minority students at the University
may feel as if they are not getting the support services they need or that there are not
enough African American men and women
at the University to make them feel comfortable. "This University does not want to
deceive students about the location and attitudes," Couldran said. "We try to help
them understand things about this place."
The State System's Excellence and Equity
plan hopes to establish and implement an
affirmative action plan at every State System university. It will also address the
plans and goals in the areas of student, personal and economic opportunities at each
university.
These goals are critical for the State Sys-*
tem if it wants to compete for minority students.
College is a place of learning, as well as a
place for students to be exposed to different
types of experiences. For those experiences
to be diversified, state universities are going
to have to recruit minorities more heavily
than ever before. "People should be exposed to other kinds of people," Willis said.

Consumer Report Column]

Popcorn choices — taste vs. nutrition
by Becky Koleno
Eagle Eye Features Reporter
Health is an issue virtually everyone is
concerned with. Packaging tries to lure a
consumer into buying certain products
with such phrases as "fat free" or "cholesterol free." Do these characteristics mean
a product is also "taste free?"
Cost is also a concern when buying
products. Most people feel a generic
brand is just as good as a name brand. But
is this true in all cases?
One snack which has nationwide appeal
is microwave popcorn. "Light" popcorn
has recently become more popular with the
health conscious because it is air-popped
and not fried. But are these popple giving
up more when it comes to taste than they
are receiving in nutrition?
A group of taste testers helped to compare light, natural popcorn to light buttered
popcorn which was represented by both
name brand and generic brands.
The least exjjensive brand of popcorn
tasted was Weis' Quality Lite Natural flavor. This brand also had the least amount
of calories per bag with 320, the least
amount of fat with 12 grams, and the least
amount of sodium with 280 milligrams.
According to the taste testers, this brand
also had the least amount of taste. "It
tastes like cardboard," one tester claimed.
Another agreed by saying, "It tastes like
the bag." The other testers felt there was
just no taste at all.
The second cheapest brand of popcorn

tested was Jolly Time Light. It was different from the Weis brand because it was butter flavored. Jolly Time, with 15 grams of
fat, still had less than the remaining three
brands tested but had the most amount of
sodium with 870 milligrams. Jolly Time
had 360 calories, tying it with two other
brands.
Common sense would render that this
brand wouid have more taste than the Weis
brand, considering
it had butter and
salt added. Not
according to the
taste
testers.
"Bland,"
"dry,"
and "stale" are
words they used
to describe this
popcorn.
The other three
kinds of popcorn
had the same
amount of fat with
16 grams, and
they also cost the same. The differences in
their amounts of calories and sodium were
minimal, but the opinions on their taste varied widely.
The third typ)e of popcorn tested was the
well-known brand of Orville Redenbacher
Light Natural Flavor. This brand had the
most calories with 480 but the second least
amount of sodium with 480 milligrams.
This brand received mixed reviews. "It
tastes like rice cake," one tester commented.
Another felt it was the best one of the group

and that it was "good and crunchy." Two
other members of the group thought it tasted average but needed more salt.
The fourth brand which was tested was
Pop Secret Butter Light. It had 16 grams of
fat and 600 milligrams of sodium.
Overall there was a near unanimous consensus that this was a very tasty, well-liked
popcorn. The testers preferred the butter
flavored taste, feeling the difference was refreshing. The lone
complaint
was
from one tester
who felt it was "too
buttery."
The fifth and final jxipcorn tested
was Pop Secret
Light Natural Flavor. It had 360 calories, 16 grams of
fat and 800 milligrams of salt.
This popcorn did
not receive a very
positive response. Most thought it was
bland and dry. Two testers felt the only redeeming quality was that they could taste
some salt. Another tester, however, thought
this brand tasted "like movie popcorn."
As the data shows, everyone has different
tastes. People may believe that if a popcorn
is butter flavored or has a lot of salt, it will
taste better. The testers showed this is not
always the case. The Jolly Time brand was
butter flavored and had the most sodium but
received unfavorable reviews from the test-

ers.
Lower priced brands also received lower remarks, which could cause some people to re-evaluate their belief that all
brands taste the same, no matter what the
price. It may also make someone's conviction that "you get what you pay for"
even stronger.
Consumers also have to examine the
nutritional aspect of products they are
buying. The Weis brand had less fat and
sodium than the others, but the testers felt
the poor taste overrode the better nutrition. They would rather eat tastier than
healthier food.
The consumer has to make the choice
of which is the more important factor, nutrition or taste. It may help to decide
whether the difference in nutrition is substantial enough. For example, the lowest
amount of fat, in the Weis brand, was 12
grams. The highest was in Orville Redenbacher and the two Pop Secret brands
which each had 16 grams of fat. This is
only a four gram difference. Is that big
enough or important enough to buy one
and not the other? Tliis is a choice each
consumer must make.
There are as many different tastes as
there are people, so each consumer may
have to taste and sample several brands of
popcorn to find the one which meets all
his or her criteria. The first step is to decide what is more important to you the individual, the price of the product, the nutritional content of the product or the
taste.

* For the past couple of weeks. Coach
Frank Scarfo has been shaking his head in
disbelief. His Lady Eagles (5-10 overall,
1-2 PSAC West) basketball squad is in a
rut, and can't seem to get out of last place.
If diagnosing the problems was the main
issue. Coach Scarfo would be set.
Unfortunately, Scarfo knows what is
hurting his team. However his team has
been unable to iron out their mistakes
when it counts.
"Right now we should be 10-5, not the
other way around," Scarfo says. "That's a
sin."
Scarfo knows his team has struggled
from the charity stripe in the late moments
of close games. He also knows the
defensive play has been a little shaky.
Therefore he has had his 4eam work
extra hard in these areas.
But, come game time, something
happens
and
once
again
these
weakenesses are exploited.
Monday's 85-81 loss to Kutztown at
theThomas Field House was testimony to
that fact.
After falling behind 16-3 early on, the
Lady Eagles stormed back and kept it close

up until the final horn.
Jeanette Shafer turned in a stellar
performance finishing with a team-high 25
points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 treys.
Shafer also canned 10 of 14 from the foul
line.
Missy Carlson and Stephanie Troyan also
put in good days at the office, finishing
with 19 and 14 respectively.
However, the downfall once again came
from the foul line. The Lady Eagles shot
an impressive 75 percent from the line in
the first half. Yet, when the game was on

the line, they dipped all the way to 53
percent.
In the last four minutes of the contest, the
Lady Eagles missed three crucial front ends
of the one-and-one.
"I don't know why, but our good shooters
couldn't make the big shots," Scarfo said.
The loss was especially hard to take for
Scarfo since his troops lost a heart-breaker
to California 73-71 just one game earlier.
The Lady Eagles will try to put an end to
their three game losing skid Saturday when
they travel to Edinboro.

Six University boxers will travel to the

About the
2-Minute Warning,,.

by Kevin Kovac
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Although the last two weeks have basically been average ones for the University
men's basketball, they've been anything
but that for the team's sophomore star,
Mike Shue.
While the Bald Eagles have plowed
along steadily of late, going 3-3 in their
last six games, Shue has been utterly sensational.
The 6-foot-5 guard scored over 30 points
in four of the contests, including back-toback 46 point outings that tied Lock
Haven's single-game scoring records.
Excluding his sub-par 10-point effort in
a 81-58 loss at California University of Pa.
last Saturday, Shue has been on an incredible roll.
Simply, he's been en fuego, nailing
three-pointers in defenders' faces, hitting
virtually all of his foul shots and causing
his opponents to experience extreme frustration.
Virtually nothing has affected Shue's
zone. Not the elbow to the mouth that the
Kutztown defense tagged him with during
LHU's run-and-gun 105-101 loss Monday
night.
Not the twisted ankle that caused Shue
pain during his 33-point effort at Shippensburg Wednesday night.
And certainly not the pressure of having
an entire game riding on his shoulders.
Shue proved the latter in a tense contest
with Clarion last Wednesday night at
Thomas Field House. He saitk an offbalance three-pointer as the final buzzer
sounded to give Lock Haven a thrilling 7976 PSAC-West victory.
Shue's January outburst did not go unnoticed by the rest of the conference. The
sharpshooter was named the PSAC-West
Player of the Week for the week ending
Jan. 21.
Of course, Shue has not been alone on
the court during the Bald Eagles' solid start
to the conference campaign. Consistent
performances have continually been turned
in by a trio of sophomores, guard Leo Skorupa and forward Chad McKinney and
Dan D'Angelo.
Lock Haven's latest game, an 89-78 road

victory over Shippensburg Wednesday,
was a testament to the abilities of Shue's
supporting cast. It was Skorupa, McKinney
and D'Angelo, after all, who extended
LHU's slim lead when Shue was forced to
the bench with an injured ankle for several
second half minutes.
The Bald Eagles, whose head coach.

Dave Blank, missed Wednesday's game because his wife gave birth to a boy Motiday
night, currently sport a 9-8 overall record.
But more importantly they are 3-1 in the
PSAC-West, which puts them firmly in
control of third place in the division heading into tomorrow's road game at Edinboro.

teams in the top NCAA rankings. Their
first loss came from the number-one ranked
Iowa Hawkeyes, and then tenth-ranked
Wisconsin.
However, the Bald Eagles did out-

manuver the Nebraska Cornhuskers (ranked
2nd) in their own Mat-Town Invitational
Tourney, taking second place.
Last weekend the Bald Eagles won both
matches over Cleveland State and Millersville in a tri-meet they hosted.
Team leader, Mike Geurin, has led the
team thus far. He is the only undefeated
wrestler on the team at 18-0, and has moved
up in the national rankings as high as eigth.
He has also been able to evade disabling

injuries which have been an all too common
accurance on the team this year.
The Havens' senior co-captain Scott Goodale has been hampered by injury, but is
soon to return and re-establish his rank of
sixth and boost the Bald Eagles from their
team ranking of 21.
Last night the team traveled to take on
PSAC rival, Edinboro. From there they
will travel to Clarion for the PSAC tournament.
