That's why prices went up. Many students feel that the same problems still exist from last year, such as over crowded parking lots and not enough places to park. Christine Prebble, a sophomore, said she understands why law enforcement overbooks the lots, but they could solve the problem by writing class times on permits and ticketing when students are violating their registered times. John Mank, a sophomore, said he bought a per- mit this year because last year he parked on the streets and was ticketed anyway. "We had to do something to stop the problems.

Graham Boyle/The Eagle Eye Students returning to Lock Haven University for class this week saw major and minor renovations both completed and still occurring on various facilities throughout campus. The most noticeable renovation to students, and perhaps the most aggravating, is the remodeling of Stevenson Library. Tara Fulton, Director of Library Services at LHU said the renovation project is on schedule and the grand re-opening of the library will be Tuesday, September 4 at 8:00 a.m. The new and improved library has a new lighting system at the entrance, which Fulton hopes will create a warm, inviting feel to the library. Eight open-access computers are located just passed the main entrance and the lounge facing the windows of the library overlooking Ivy Lanehad been redecorated with all new furniture. The circulation desk has been revamped and includes a glass panel with Stevenson Library written on it. The biggest improvement to the library is the 24-hour study lounge now located where the periodicals were in previous years. The study lounge, which is tentatively scheduled to be opened this week, have a side door available for entry after the library has closed. The entrance to the study lounge will be the "meet and greet" area, equipped with an "S" shaped sofa and an exhibit area for students to meet up with one another to study and work on projects. The lounge has four tables and a sofa and chair area, two laptop computer connections, as well as two group study areas with partitions allowing groups to discuss projects without disturbing others in the study lounge. Adjacent to the lounge is a library instruction room where faculty members can bring their students to receive lessons on how to access information via electronic, video, and print media outlets. " I encourage all students to attend the Stevenson Library open house on September 7 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.," said Fulton. Tours ofthe library will be given during the open house and ice cream will be provided for students in front of the library. Other renovations done on campus that occurred during the summer were to Woolridge and Smith Halls. They became the first residence halls on campus to have sprinkler Systems. LHU maintenance supervisors, Keith Roush and Rich Getgen, said that of the 90 residence halls in the State Higher of System Education's 14 schools, only five have sprinkler and LHU's systems Woolridge and Smith are of them. The SSHE has mandated that by 2005, all residence halls must have working sprinkler systems. The most anticipated renovation site on campus is the new recreation center adjacent to the PUB parking lot. Construction started before the end of last semester and remains on schedule to open in midtwo ts saw many changes. April. The center is taking shape as supports and floor slabs have been placed on the east side of the center's racquetball area. The center will have a weight room, climbing wall, three basketball courts, and an elevated running track for student use when completed.

At LHU's Clearfield campus, a three-story learning center had its grand opening on August 25. The center holds a administrative library, offices and classrooms. "The facility is a selfcontained campus without a sleeping area," said Mr. Getgen. LHU maintenance is attending to sidewalks on campus in dire need of repairs but only the most hazardous to pedestrians are being repaired because Page 2 August 31, 2001 New policies in effect I A new policy effective this students to earn a grade point average of 2.0 or higher. The Academic Regulations Committee, composed of faculty and management, considered the plan for nearly a year before it was finalized. Students who do not meet this requirement will be placed on academic probation for the following semester. If a student fails to earn a 2.0 after the probationary period he or she will then be suspended for a semester. If the student still fails to obtain a 2.0, suspension for two consecutive semesters will occur. the Upon re-entering University, the student must establish the required 2.0 or he or she will be discharged from the University. The previous policy, which incorporated similar probation and suspension penalites, comsisted of a scale which based grade point requirements on the number of semester hours completed. semester will require This week in history 1984 Aug. 27. 1984: Weekend Weather The scale ranged from a 1.5 Sumer Buttorff Eagle Eye Staff Reporter cumulative average requirement for students having 0.5 to 18.5 hours to a 2.0 for students having completed 57 or more hours. The increase in grade point average requirements is exclusive to LHU. However, before making its decision, the committee compared the standards of other universities to those at LHU. Vice President of Academic Affairs, Roy Stewart, who approved the committee's proposition, believed that a new policy was in order because he found the previous to be "misleading." Stewart said, "It is not o.k. for students to have a C." The new plan is among other efforts by LHU to raise University standards, including a recent change in policies effecting education majors. Stewart hopes the decision to raise University standards will be "a motivation for students to work harder." Essentially, Stewart believes the new requirement "will be better for students and better for the University."

The Lock of Haven University Pennsylvania Department of announced on Athletics Tuesday that it is discontinuing the use of 15-passenger vans for athletic travel in response to national concern over the safety of large-occupancy vans. This past academic year the University used 15-passenger vans for athletic competition less than two hours from Lock Haven. Starting in the fall, all athletic travel will utilize chartered buses. The decision follows an advisory issued in April by the National Highway Traffic Administration Safety (NHTSA) warning an increased rollover risk for 15-passenger vans under certain conditions. The issue is a concern among colleges and universities in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), growing in intensity following a string of highly publicized van accidents occurring to varsity teams while en route to or from competition in the 1999-2000 school year. "We had already made a great step in reducing the risk to student-athletes and coaches with the expansion of bus transportation to trips farther than two hours," said Sharon Taylor, Lock Haven Director of Athletics. "This move to totally eliminate the need for coaches or students to shoulder any burden of driving vans to contests is the final step in doing all we can to diminish the chances for accidents similar to the ones that have occurred over the last two years." In January 2000, one student-athlete and 10 other teammates from the Kenyon College men's and women's swim teams of the vans crashed and rolled several times after veering out of control on an icy road. One month later, four members of the Prairie View A&M University track team died and the coach and five other athletes were seriously injured when the van carrying the team swerved off the road and rolled several times. The NHTSA report revealed that when 15-passenger vans are filled with 10 or more occupants, the rollover rate in single vehicle crashes is almost three times the rate of vans that were lightly loaded. Additionally, the NHTSA reaffirmed the necessity of seat belt use after finding that 80 percent of those nationwide who died last year in single vehicle rollover accidents were not buckled up. Federal law prohibits the sale of 15-passenger vans for school-related transportation of high school age and younger students, but no such prohibition exists for college and university students. Among the reasons for the prevalent use of the vans among small and large college and university athletics teams alike is the schedule flexibility the vans allow and the issue of savings gained versus chartering a bus. "I believe the extra dollars are worth the safety factor," said University Lock Haven President Craig Dean Willis. "The University's primary concern is for the welfare of the student-athletes and coaches. Though we understand bus travel will not totally eliminate the chances of accidents, it will greatly reduce the likelihood of accidents and alleviate the stress placed on our coaches and students. I feel this is an important and necessary move." in TKE KAP worked with in th e lobby of the Parsons Union Building (PUB).

WE WORK HARDER TO SERVE yOU BETTER m -* for %J $798 i 2-$ 5 The art of cleaning your room Matthew English Eagle Eye OP/ED Editor I walk up the stairs in my house to my room and open the door only to reveal chaos. Most of the time my living space is in such shambles that I can hardly see the faded brown carpet covering the floor. I'm an impetuous person by nature and if I want something like a quote from a book, or an obscure item like deodorant, I frantically root around my room trying to find it with little regard to what a mess I'm making, there is only the task at hand. So I get the job done but it brings havoc to my bedroom. Eventually there comes a point while I'm stepping over piles of old newspapers and dirty clothes, that something stirs in me and I do feel like taking time out to straighten the place up. I get surprised at how much of my own life I've forgotten and I'm reminded by the obscure relics tucked in the cushions of my couch. They take me back to places. Good places, bad places, sometimes joyous, sometimes solemn or shameful, but they are what they are and they are a part of me. How long should I keep this old paper I wrote two years ago? It was a wicked paper and I got an A on it, but what, am I going to keep it forever? Poor papers I look at sheepishly and discard quickly. What about old letters, or photos, or some cheap plastic souvenir statue of liberty I got from New York? I'd like to keep them all but space must be made for future crap to suffocate my room and so they go in the trash can with a little mourning. Finally the room gets done, and when it does I back off into a corner so I can admire the aesthetics of an orderly space. I breathe easy; everything is where it should be, which is boring. So when I'm done I usually pull up to my desk and start writing like I'm doing now. It's a new year; again, it's always important to clean your room. Thompson bemoans the NBA's teenage draft, challenges the media BALTIMORE — John Thompson spoke to sports editors this July the same way he coached his Georgetown Hoyas for 27 years: with no holds barred. Few issues were spared as Thompson, the keynote speaker at the APSE Convention luncheon, shared his opinions ranging from high school players entering the NBA, to the media's policing of itself, to the fairness of sports reporting, to the proposed federal ban on gambling on collegiate sports. Not surprisingly, Thompson was particularly outspoken about the NBA draft. sion will be extremely vulnerable (to gambling interests)." Thompson, who works with Turner Sports and has a radio sports talk show on WTEM 980 ates being part of the media. But he noted that his relationship with the media had not always been this casual, and he recalled being called a racist by members "I'm not foolish," Thompson mm a journalist. would cover it." Clearly, as a talk show host, Thompson is now a member of the media himself. "I'm glad that I became a member of the in Washington, said he appreci- said. "I think to condone (high school players bypassing college for the NBA) without creating some kind of age limit will lead us to a lot of trouble. Thompson also spoke on media," said Thompson, who added that he now feels as if he understands the process of being said of journalists. "They don't talk about each other, but they have a problem if I don't want to talk about another member of my fraternity. They say they have an obligation to tell the public, but they have an obligation to report on you." Larry Starks, assistant managing editor of sports for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reiterated Thompson's point. "I think we have insulated ourselves on policing our own," Starks said. "If Mitch Albom does something wrong, very few (sports journalists) in here that. They (reporters) were lazy and ignorant in trying to project to the public that I was (a racist) since they were afraid of me. I respected the guys who face the hurricane." Thompson added: "I saw a tremendous influx of blacks coming to cover me, after I was perceived as (racist)." proposed Senate legislation that would ban gambling on collegiate sports. "I think it is the most hypocritical thing I've ever seen," Thompson said. "If they didn't want it now, they should have stopped it a long time ago.

"They keep their personal als that look like me, I don't lives confidential," Thompson know what to think. You've got of the media when he was coaching. Thompson said many of his critics had that perception because of his combative attitude toward the media, and because most of the players on his team were AfricanAmerican. "I was supposed to be a racist I laughed," he said. "I never spent a minute defending examples." Some editors said they were moved by Thompson's words. "He's very provocative. I appreciate his honesty," said Bill Eichenberger, deputy sports editor of Newsday. "He talks about to see Editor, It is with mixed emotions that we write this letter to say good-bye to the students, faculty and staff of Lock Haven University', It has been a distinct honor and pleasure to care for and serve each and every one of you.

This is the first win for Lock Haven, last finishing as high as second place in the 1999-2000 school year. The Dixon Trophy is named after F. Eugene Dixon, Jr., former chairman of the Board of Governors of the State System of Higher Education. It has been awarded annually since 1995 to the PSAC member institution that accumulates the most points based on results of conference playoffs and/or regular-season records.
