More
informed
communication
between the students and the Student
Cooperative Council (SCC) was one of the
main concerns addressed by delegates in
the SCC election debates.
The candidates for SCC President are
Larry Flint, Chris Nagy and Luke Lorenz;
for Vice President, Bob Knerr and Jamie
Patton; and for Treasurer, Tammy Brown.
The debate, which was held in the
Parsons Union Building (PUB) multi purp>ose room last night, started with 0[)ening
statements.
Flint started by stating that he plans to
stay on an extra year for academic reasons
and, if elected, to be President for another
term. He said, "The problem with student

government is that people go too quickly.
The SCC needs a good, strong and long
lasting leadership."
He also stated that he believed he would
be beneficial to becoming president again
because of his present experience, and the
experience he has gained from his many
activities in the SCC prior to this year's
presidency.
Lorenz was next and stated that he
believed in making a difference by incorporating more communication with the students on topics like the rec center and the
activity fee, which he believed the SCC did
not present to the student body early
enough for them to make an informed decision.
He said, "The SCC must represent the
students. We need to rriake the SCC more
personal and make it easier for students to
obtain information about the student gov-

ernment."
Due to a medical emergency, Nagy
could not attend the debate, but Patton read
Nagy's opening statements for the audience.
Nagy stated that although he is on the
outside end of the SCC and does not know
everything he needs to know about some of
the practices, he feels that change is good
and that is exactly what the SCC needs.
His statement said that if elected he will
put the "student" back into the Student
Cooperative Council by running the corporation as a student and not as a politician.
He feels that along with the students coming to the SCC for information, he will go
to the students with information. He also
said that he wants to involve more off-campus students in the SCC.
Knerr agreed that communication is the
key with these positions. He also stated

that he has been working very closely with
Flint and Brown to improve the SCC.
Patton opened by saying that his past
has taught him many leadership skills that
he thinks will benefit him in the SCC. He
stated that he can offer a iresh perspective
to the SCC and said, "I believe that students
should be more involved in the SCC."
He also said that he is willing to listen
to students. Although he does not have a lot
of Senate experience, with exjierience from
other organizations and activities he will be
prepared to handle the job.
Last but not least. Brown detailed her
experiences for the position of treasurer.
"As a senator I have learned a lot," she
said. Brown added that by working with
Kelly Yeagle, the present SCC treasurer,
she is prepared to take over.

Coffeehouse wsis a great success
by Amanda Gutshall
Eagle Eye Editor in Chief_
Over 200 people attended last night's
Ofjen Mic Coffeehouse sponsored by the
Student Cooperative Council (SCC) and the
Haven Activiteis Council (HAC).
The multi purpose room in the Parsons
Union Building (PUB) was packed with
students and others who came to listen to 16
different acts of poetry, musical performances and comic relief which ran for three
hours.
^||
According to David Davis, a co-orga-

nizer of the coffeehouse, the evening was
amazing. The best thing I have ever seen
happen at Lock Haven. We were only
expecting around 135 people and we had
over 200. •
"This night really showed the talent that
is present in the student body at Lock
Haven and the support of the people who
attended and the student's support of the
SCC and HAC," added Davis.
There are ideas, according to HAC
Chair of the Club, Entertainment and
Concert committee, Scott Helfrich, to have
the coffeehouse every two weeks. With
tonight's positive response that idea may

become a reality.
"I am really proud of the students on my
committee who worked hard to make the
coffeehouse a great success. David Davis
and Victoria Zaitz really contributed a lot of
enthusiasm and time to this project," said
Helfrich.
He also added, "I would like to give
special thanks to everyone who came out
and performed last night. Those who did
not get to perform will have a chance next
time."
For a more in depth feature of this
event pick up next week's issue of the
Eagle Eye which will have a detailed list of

all participants in the coffeehouse.

For almost all college students, the
question of what they will be doing this
summer is a serious concern. Freshmen
may need to decide on a major over the
summer. Sophomores may be looking for
some experience in their majors to make
sure they have chosen the right ones.
Juniors may be in need of internship experience in order to prepare for the real world.
And seniors are looking for full time jobs.
The seventh annual Job Fair, hosted by
the North Central Pennsylvania College
Consortium, can help University students
ease job concerns.
According to Joan Welker, director of
Career Services, more and more employers
are looking to job fairs as a cost-effective

seasonal positions. Therefore, all students
can benefit from the job fair.
Tickets are required and can be obtained
at the University Career Services office,
located on the ground floor of Akeley Hall.
The tickets are free to University students.
Career Services will review any
resumes before the fair. However, Welker
said that not having a resume ready is not a
reason to not attend the fair.
"Students can network and be identified
as potential employees without a resume,"
she said.
The event takes place Thursday, April 3,
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Genetii Hotel
and Convention Center in Williamsport.
Career Services will be providing transportation. Students need to sign up in the
Career Services office by Tuesday.

Student Cooperative Council (SCC)
President, Larry Flint.
Two of the confirmed guest speakers

address such subjects as providing quality
education to all Peniisylvania citizens and
support for public higher education. They
will also discuss many issues on the budget

Education (SSHE) schools.
SCC Vice President Pat Pierre said.

"This is a day for us to let local legislators
know our wants and needs as students." He
also said that Pennsylvania is currently
working on its budget and now is a good
time to tell legislators what the SSHE system needs.
Flint said of the issue, "Luckily our
local legislators are very supportive of
higher education, and it is a great opportunity for all students to come and show support for the State System of Higher
Education."
Legislators Day is a head start for
Advocacy Day, when representatives from
all 14 SSHE schools go to Harrisburg and
address the legislators about budgeting for
all of the schools as a whole system.

Job fairs are essentially a chance for
students to network and meet with company recruiters in order to obtain second interviews.
Welker suggests that students who wish
to obtain second interviews research the
employers they are interested in and know
enough about those companies to connect
their backgrounds to the companies needs.
"If a students sells himself well, he will

Bloomsburg helps
disabled students
BLOOMSBURG - Learning disabilities
can be frustrating, discouraging and a difficult struggle to handle alone. Often
times a student with a learning disability
has trouble concentrating in class and
completing assignments.
At one time, Bloomsburg students
were basically left to deal with this difficulty alone. This, however, has recently
changed. Dr. Cynthia Schloss, an assistant professor in the Department of
Communication Disorders and Special
Education, is a volunteer that leads a
group designed to help students who are
learning disabled.
Dr. JoAnne Growney, JoAnne
Jackowski, Robert Klonger, Schloss and
Peter Walters, obtained a two year strategic planning grant from the University for
the Retention of Students with Learning
Disabilities. The grant pays for the
salaries of the graduate assistants and project materials.
The program is designed not to act as
a tutoring service but to teach students
strategies.

Fact number one: We are a small
University. Fact number two: Unless you
take extra credits or intern over one summer or another, chances are you will be
here four and a half, if not five years.
Throughout this time, as I can well testify, you get to know a lot of people. Now,
I am not just talking about those individuals
who become your nearest and dearest
friends and who will eventually stand up
for you at your wedding, be a godparent to
one of your kids or bail you out of jail (you
never know). I mean, besides fulfilling
academic requirements. General Education
classes force you to mix and mingle with
those outside of your major (getting to
know "Science People" when you happen
to be an "English Person" or "Arts People"
getting acquainted with "Math People").
It is possible for these folks to become
your nearest and dearest because enduring a
class you would never voluntarily take
bonds you to the point of being willing to
socialize outside of the classroom.
However, this is highly unlikely, because
after a certain point in college your group
of really close friends is set. Although you
may keep adding and adding to your list of
acquaintances, the Gen Ed friendship may
have been deep once, but it is temporary
because time and your own major prevent it
from becoming serious. But generally it
seems to me that those met via Gen Eds
become fun acquaintances with whom you
always chat as you run into each other
going to other classes, catch the elevator
together by chance or wind up in the laundromat at the same time one day, long after
the semester you have shared is over.
Classically, these "Gen Ed Friends" are
the people who you realize have academic
goals in an area that well, is not really your
thing, but because they are such fun people,
you love running into them and acting like
they are indeed your very best friend ever.
You feel you have spent enough time sitting
next to them to denote quality time, so it is
only natural they be embraced as a long lost
loved one whenever you come upon each
other.
I would say that nine out of 10 of these
encounters always end up with one person
saying, "We really should hang out together sometime..." and the other agrees, but
that never materializes. Or if it does, it only
happens because you both wind up some
night at the same party or bar and go from
there. Usually, this is all a pleasant thing,
because it makes you feel more popular
than you actually are.
The 12 weeks you spent coping together in "Underwater Basket Weaving," or
"American History of Cheerios Seminar,"
seriously left you with a personal connection that simply cannot be denied. The
message here: You are survivors and sur-

vivor-to-survivor relationships make it necessary to fawn all over each other every
time you meet long after the experience you
survived together is over. That is what
accounts for the excitement and "reunion of
someone close" feeling, when in joyful
glee, you realize that you have wound up
next to each other in line at the Mac
machine and feel the urge to update each
other on how life has treated you since your
desk-to-desk relationship has ended.

Something else really odd about the
Gen Ed friend relationship is that although
these individuals usually do not become
regular members of your circle of friends,
and you do have your own confidants available (what I am talking about here are those
folks with whom you live-the ones
inevitably by your side every weekend),
you will at one point have this crazy urge to
confide some secret in your Gen Ed friend,
or discuss something personal you are
exf>eriencing at the moment with them like,
they are your mom or something.
Fact is, if you are stuck in a Gen Ed
class you hate, your mind will wander. And
if something serious is going on in your
life, that is the area of thinking to which it
will wander. When I think of all the times
a Gen Ed friend of mine has told me about
a painful incident from their childhood, a
decision to switch their method of birth
control, how they felt after their grandma
died or what they really did during Spring
Break when their significant other was not
around, I feel like a therapist of some sort.
Here I am spending this scheduled time
with this person, verbally and psychologically interacting, searching for opinions
and answers.
This brings me to my next theory. The
Gen Ed friend relationship occurs chiefly
for this reason: It is extremely therapeutic
to sit down at a scheduled time with anyone
who you believe can be trusted (isn't it
funny how we can so quickly trust some,
but for others building that ^nist takes so
long?) and discuss your inner self, how to
change whatever situation...seek resolution
and closure of some kind. It is not like you
do not have other friends to talk to about
your troubles; you just have not brought it
up to them, or they do know and either you
do not like what they have told you or you
need more input from someone else, and
hey, as long as you have to sit next to some-

one two or three times a week...?
And all the while you are subconsciously comforted by the realization that no matter what you confide to this person, it does
not really matter. This is because, when the
last paper is handed in and the exam taken,
the only time you will see this person is for
a fleeting moment here and there, and then
not only will your secrets not readily pop
into their minds upon sight of you, (because
their life doesn't revolve around you and all
your long ago Gen Ed secret swapping) but
anyone with tact who you run into at the
computer lab to whom you have not talked
since half a semester ago, is not going to
just blurt out, "So, did AA work out for
you, or what?"
A word of caution, however. As 1 mentioned, it is easy to slide into fully trusting
a Gen Ed friend. But not only is it possible
that as nice as this person seems he or she
might have a really big mouth (who knows
who they will tell), it is also highly likely
that within his or her circle of friends,
friends you do not even know, you might,
through what your Gen Ed friend has told
them, very much become labeled, "The guy
who slept with his brother's girlfriend," or
"The girl with a serious phobia of f/'.imping
gas, using forks or traveling over bridges,"
whatever the secret may be. Then, when
you run into your old Gen Ed friend who is
accompanied by some of their immediate
group of friends after you leave, they will
be like, "So, that's the girl who's cousin is
on the run from the police!" So, be wary of
this, as you pour out your heart while the
lecture on "Tree Bark of Central America,"
acts as background noise of your next Gen
Ed therapy session.
For those of you who chronically complain about what you perceive as the futility of taking classes you "do not need,"
remember that Gen Eds can fulfill mental,
emotional, spiritual and social gaps as well
as help you get your degree. And it is
always nice to have someone to unexpectedly dish with during those mundane
moments in line at the grocery store or
passing time between classes on the Price
steps.

Working on the Eagle Eye, has given me a lot of experience in print journalism that cannot be obtained in classes. I now know the program Quark XPress, how to layout a page
and many other things that will help mE obtain a job when I graduate.
I cannot stress enough the importance of these positions. Many [)eople complain that
there are not enough important issues in the Eagle Eye. Many consider the newspaper not
worth reading at all. Others do not feel this way (and we thank you!!).
My challenge to you who have complaints, and only sit and complain instead of doing
something about it is this: Get off your butts and do something about it! Join the Eagle
Eye and make a difference in your college newspaper! The Eagle Eye is something to have
pride in, for it is one of the many voices on this campus. Let your voice be heard for everyone to hear. Participate and show off what you can do! This is your newspaper too. All
students pay an activity fee which helps to finance the Eagle Eye, so it is everybody's paper
not just the Eagle Eye staff's and reporter's.
If you are wondering about experience my answer is: While experience is help*^ ri, it is
not necessary to hold a position. The former editors will be more than willing to teach all
that there is to know with any of the positions available. It does not take very long to learn
how to create a newspaper.
Applications may be dropped off in jjerson at the Eagle Eye office in the PUB, or left
in the envelope on the bulletin board outside the office. Students may also send applications via campus mail. Is that easy or what?
Applications are due by Friday, April 18 at 5 p.m. (That is three weeks away, plenty of
time.)
We will conduct interviews on Monday, April 21, and Wednesday, April 23, and vote on
the new members following the interviews on Wednesday night. New staff members will
be trained the week of April 28 and will help the current editors to produce the last Spring
1997 edition of the Eagle Eye.
Sincerely,
Amanda Gutshall
Editor in Chief

Philosophy society presents feminism discussion
by Tori Mello
Eagle Eye Features Editor_
Bra Burner. Man-Hater. Femi-Nazi.
These are some of the terms many college
students conjure up when they think of a
feminist, thanks to the negative images the
media often provides.
However, in a discussion presented on
Monday night by Phi Sigma Tau, the philosophy honor society, Dr. Joan Whitman
Hoff, University professor of Philosophy,
presented a very different perspective.
According to Hoff, feminism is "the
basic view that women are people and thus
deserve to be treated with equal respect and
are deserving of equal rights." Feminists
believe that women have historically been
oppressed and the root of this oppression is
male domination. They seek not only to
overcome this oppression, but also to understand the roots of oppression in terms of the
power structures in society.
There are different views on how to
overcome this oppression. Liberal feminism
seeks reform through daily actions; radical
feminism attempts to eliminate oppression
by totally rejecting the institutions, policies
and relationships that have promoted
oppression. A third type of feminism is
socialist feminism, which tries to rid society

of oppression and
domination
by
changing class structure in society.
While it is not
the most widely
practiced and supported view, radical
feminism is the type
that receives the
most publicity, usually
negative.
However, as Hoff
explained Monday
evening,
"The
majority of feminists^
in today's society are
not the radical feminists that Rush

Limbaugh and others Dr. Joan Whitman Hoff discusses the variety of femi
call 'Femi-Nazis.' ^j^j perspectives that exist in today's society.
Most women •— and
men —who consider
themselves feminists are liberal feminists,
who try to change the way things are by
doing small things in their everyday lives."
For instance, a liberal feminist would
argue that inacting policies in the workplace
that promote both maternity and paternity
leave, as well as husbands and wives sharing
household duties, alleviate some of the dis-

parities between men and women in society.
On the other hand, a radical feminist
would argue that a "separatist society and
the denial of all heterosexual relationships is
necessary to achieve equality."
Radical
feminists see all institutions and policies in
existence as oppressive and not able to be
changed through simple reform.
Although her discussion was simply a

presentation of feminism instead of a
defense of it, Hoff said that she became
aware of feminism at a philosophy conference she attended toward the end of her
undergraduate years in college. Although
she and her female friends were embarrassed at first to be seen at the feminists' display table, they soon understood what it
really meant to be a feminist.
"All people live in a historical, political
and sociological context," she said. "We
have to understand that there are oppressed
people in society and that our personal, daily
lives — every moment — is political.
Oppression always exists, whether on an
individual or on an entire group, in our society, because our society is based on a hierarchy of power."
According to feminists, there are two
things inherent in our society today that promote the oppression of women that are so
subtle many of us never notice them: language and the media.
The nature of language itself does not
include all people. Furthermore, over time
and through habit, words have entered our
everyday vocabulary that used to be considered derogatory (like "chick" and "babe,"
for instance). "Language is the most powerful way we communicate, and whether we
know it or not, every word we use is packed
with meaning," explained Hoff.
The media promotes a vast amount of
popular culture's ideas of the differences
between men and women, boys and girls.
Toys are marketed towards girls and boys
separately, focusing on violence and action
for boys and peacefulness and grace for
girls. "Ours is one of the only cultures in
the world that separates males and females
by gender instead of simply by sex," said
Hoff. "A large part of the definition of gender differences is formed by the media."
The "Beauty Myth" is also scmething
which feminists have heatedly opposed for a
number of years, as well. As student Amy
Timko noted during the discussion, "The
female body is valued as a commodity based
on appearance, and the media projects the
image of the perfect female body, which is
an extremely unrealistic image for most
women to ever hope to achieve."
After Hoff presented feminism, a discussion opened. President of Phi Sigma Tau,
Kevin Fandl, asked how college students
can promote feminism. "You have 'o live
the life you believe in," answered Hoff.
"Actions speak louder than words. I*'s legitimate to say something, but more noteworthy to do something about it."
She also stated that although it is difficult to change what you have been taught by
society, you have to be aware of how you
think and feel, and realize that your environment always has a huge impact on these
feelings.

Fighting their way to Nationals
by Chad Forry
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Four Lock Haven University boxers won
Eastern Collegiate Boxing AssociationNortheast
Region
(ECBA-NE)
Championships last weekend at Penn State
University.
Army and Shippensburg University followed with three champions and the Nittany
Lions were able to produce one.
Only the champion from each weight
division will advance to the National
Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA)
finals to be held at the Halsey Field House
on the campus of the U.S. Naval Academy
in Annapolis, Md.
LHU's Eric Elmer, 119; Dave Fields,
125; Fred Druding, 132; and 1996 National
Champion Jason Fletcher, 156 won titles.
Fletcher was named "Outstanding
Boxer" by the 12 officials who worked the
two-day tournament.
The Bald Eagles fterformed extremely
well and out boxed their opponents in every
bout. The team's physical condition seemed
much improved.
Traditionally the Bald Eagles' veteran
coaching staff of Dr. Ken Cox, Ken Cooper
and Mike Romanesky focus the team's

attention on ring technique and strategy,
often to the neglect of physical conditioning.
However, last weekend the Haven boxers
surprised the likes of Army and Penn State
with their physical conditioning and stamina.
Fletcher earned his second straight
ECBA-NE title by giving PSU's rugged
Kurt Decker a lesson in the art of boxing.
Fletcher, sporting a 19-6 career record,
scored an eight count knock-down with a
beautiful combination midway through the
first round.
He landed numerous shots in the second
round, especially during the first minute. In
round three, the Bald Eagle team captain
scored another knockdown with a powerful
left hook to the head of Decker.
Fletcher began to tire midway through
the third round, but used good foot work to
stay out of Decker's range and win handily,
five judges to zero.
Fields upped his season record 7-2 with
a hard earned win over Ship's tough Mike
Brady. Fields and Brady exchanged some
good body shots in an even first round.
Late in round two. Fields scored with
four or five good left hooks to both the body
and the head to pull away from the Red
Raider.

Pat Rudy, taking the reins for Ginny
Bonomo due to Bonomo's maternity leave,
coached the women's lacrosse team to a 1311 victory over SUNY-Cortland, a team that
stopped the Lady Eagles in their advancements in the 1996 PSAC championships.
The Laxters held a lead against Cortland
for the entire game except for the come back
that SUNY-Cortland made with 7:50 left in
the game to bring the game to a temporary
tie.
Offensive player Kristen Pickersgill
replenished the lead scoring with 4:34 left
on the clock. Pickersgill was the lead scorer for the Lady Eagles with five goals.
Following her was Sharon Kreider with
three goals.
Cheri Drysdale had a 100 percent accuracy rate with two attempts at scoring and
two goals. Drysdale also lead the team in
interceptions with 12.

Kreider also lead the team in assists by
contributing two goals. Other members of
the lacrosse team with assists where
Sophomore Amy Urich, one assist;
Pickensgill, one assist; and Farago with one
assist.
The goal was defended by Ann Smith
who had 15 saves through her 60 minutes of
playing time.
The Lady Eagles' next game will be

p.m.

Ladies sweep the field with opponents
by Dustin Miller
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_

I

The softball team started off the regular
season in strong form by sweeping their
opponents last weekend.
The team hosted West Chester on
Saturday to a double header and played two
more against York College on Sunday, at
Elm Park.
The team started quickly against West
Chester with three doubles by Diane
Drumheller, Stacy Warner and Kristy
Caldwell to take the lead 4-0 in the third
inning.
But the Lady Eagles committed three
errors in the next two innings and let West
Chester take the lead 5-4. One swing of the
bat by Melissa Caldwell in the sixth was all
it took to put the team back in the game and
tie the score 5-5. The game went into extra
innings and the first batter in the eighth
inning for the Lady Eagles was Warner who
ripped a game-winning home run to seal the
win.
Amy Markle pitched a fabulous game,
going eight innings and allowing five runs,
and only one of those was earned.
The Lady Eagles broke out to another
quick start in game two as the team built a 3-

1 lead and never looked back to take the win
5-3 to complete the sweep. Laura Koller
went 2-2 with a triple and two runs scored
and Warner smacked two doubles which
plated two for the team. Drumheller added
two RBIs for the Lady Eagles.
Pitcher Erin Monger pitched seven solid
innings allowing three runs, two of them
earned, and striking out three.
Head Coach Kim Lindsey said she was
happy to come away with a sweep, but said
the team needs to be a little more patient at
the plate. She also said, "It's impwrtant that
the team stays in the game and they don't
start drifting as the game goes on. The players did a much better job staying on their
toes in the second game and hit a lot better
too. It was a lot better not having to play
catch-up and not having to count on home
runs to win the game."
Sunday saw the Lady Eagles break out
the lumber and sweep their two game series
against York College with scores of 9-1 and
17-3.
Brittany Sharp, Warner and Drumheller
all had two hits a piece, with Drumheller
smacking a solo homer to start off the game.
Caldwell had two RBIs to help guide the

team to victory and pitcher Kim Summerill
pitched five innings, giving up only four
hits and allowing one unearned run.
Game two saw the Lady Eagles put on a
hitting clinic as six players recorded at least
two hits a piece. Jen Estright broke out of a
slump in a big way going 2-3 with a double,
a triple and five RBIs. Sharp also added a

Diane Drumheller rounds third against York College. She hit eight out of
15, with two doubles, a homerun, three RBIs and six runs during tlie four
Lady Eagles' victories last weekend.

Wrestling history made again and again
by Amy Yarger
Eagle Eye Sports Editor_
Not only did the wrestling team send
representatives from seven of the 10 weight
classes to the national level, but they came
away with five Ail-Americans, three of
which were repeats from last year, one
National Champion and a team fifth place
finish at the NCAA Division I National
Championships at the University of
Northern Iowa. It was the highest team finish in the history of LHU wrestling.
LHU also made the history books by
having the highest number of All-American
performers to date. The record of three
from last year was shattered with the addition of Terry Showalter and Brian Leitzel to
the AU-American list.
Senior, Cary Kolat earned his second
National Championship. His 6-2 victory at
142 was nothing short of spectacular.
Kolat wrapped up his wrestling career
with a 111-7 record, which includes 52
pins.
Mike Rodgers, 150, was the second
repeating All-American. Rodgers' sixth
place finish was hard fought and well
Efved.
deser

Rodgers' career record now stands at
112-28 with 22 wins coming by way of pins.
Finishing eighth and earning his second
straight A|l-American title, Mike Geurin
boosted his career record to an impressive

home run to the team's hitting barrage.
The Lady Eagles (8-4 overall, 2-0 in the
PSAC) were to play a double header at
Mansfield, but the games were postponed
until later dates. The team will travel to
Edinboro on Saturday, March 29, and return
home to play Clarion and Bloomsburg
Universities on April 2 and 3 respectively.

108-21. Geurin's season record now stands
at 28^5.
Leitzel ended his collegiate career with
his first All-American performance. Leitzel
placed sixth in the nation at 158. His career
record stands at 93-38.
The most surprising finish of the tournament came from sophomore, Showalter at
126. Showalter, the only non-senior LHU
wrestler to earn an All-American title,
placed sixth at the championships.
Showalter upp)ed his two-year career
record to 47-27.
Due to a medical emergency, Chris
Nagy, the reporter for the wrestling team,
was unable to complete his front page feature on the wrestling team for this week's
Eagle Eye.
However, we could not let the accomplishments of this outstanding team go unapplauded until next week's issue.
For a more detailed story, please see next
week's Eagle Eye. Best wishes for a quick
recovery for Chris Nagy!

Men ^s rugby
team gives the
competition a
beating
by Kelly O'Neill
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter
Last Saturday, the men's rugby team
came from behind to defeat Clarion
University 12-10.
Kevin Fallon put LHU on the board late
in the first half. Although the Haven men
played with tremendous effort, they still
trailed behind Clarion for much of the contest.
Brian Capaldi's second-try score against
a surprised Clarion defense with only seconds left in the game, pushed Lock Haven
to victory.
"We looked really good for our first outting. Lonnie Record played very well, and
so did our rookies that started," remarked
Doug Rielly, who along with Capaldi and
Sal Raniello, just returned from an all-star
tournament over spring break.
The team crashes onto the field April 5
at home against East Stroudsburg
University.
