Spring Break is resting period for some
by Masahiro Ueda
.Eagle Eye News Editor_
For many people, spring break means sitting at a Florida beach or lying under the
warm sunshine, but for some students, the
coming break may just be a curing period.
Recently there have been a large number
of students coming to the Glennon Infirmary complaining of a sore throat, fever
and nausea. These symptoms are caused by
a variety of viruses, according to Elvera
Crissman R.N., nurse supervisor.
"This year we've seen more students become sick than last year in this period," said
Crissman.
According to infirmary records, this year
a total of 1439 students have visited the infirmary during the first 19 days of February. Statistically, this amounts to 75.7 stu* dents per day.
During February 1994 the total number of
studenti; who visited the infirmary was
-1198, and the per day visiting rate was 59.9,
according to Crissman.
"We weren't as busy last year as we are
this year. This year students seem to have
more symptoms than last year," said Crissman.
This phenomena is because there are
many different types of viruses spreading
around the campus. Different viruses cause

different symptoms, according to the infirmary.
Some viruses affect the stomach and
cause nausea and other viruses cause a fever and sore throat.
Typical symptoms students complain
about at the infirmary are body aches and
fever. "Most students have more than one
symptom," said Anne Williamson, physician assistant.
The worst thing one can expect to happen
when one has a virus-related disease is developing secondary infection which causes
bronchitis and pneumonia, according to
Crissman.
To prevent this worst scenario, "The most
important thing is rest. Take medicine as
instructed and do not do things like staying
up all night and drinking," said Williamson.
"Rest is the key."
Since eating nutritious food during the
sick period is important, some foods may
not be appropriate to eat when one has a virus. "Some students don't follow the diet
sheet and eat pizzas and hoagies and they
throw up," said staff nurse Nancy Panko
R.N.
Viruses are contagious. They are transmitted through the air and physical contact.
"Ninety-five percent got the virus from the
people around you," said Panko.
Panko said you can prevent spreading vi-

ruses around just by washing hands.
"Handwashing is very important. Keep
your hands washed regularly after you cover your mouth when you cough. People
[also] get viruses through door knobs and
telephones," Panko said.

Dr. Linda Koch, vice president for student affairs, hopes that the sick students
will come back nice and healthy after the
spring break.
"Go home and enjoy mom or dad's favorite dishes and take a good rest," said Koch.

Community well-being is Wellness Coalition ^s goal
by Masahiro Ueda
Eagle Eye News Editor_
"Wellness is doing all we can do to make
a healthy community, healthy lifestyle,"
said the chairman of the Wellness Coalition
meeting. Bill Kraus.
Members of the Wellness Coalition, a
group of concerned citizens who are meeting the fourth Tuesday of every month,
gathered at the Keystone Central Vocational Technical Building (Vo-Tech) on Railroad Street Tuesday evening to discuss a
future course of action to take on problems
that threaten the wellness of the communityThe coalition was founded in December,
1993, when a group of concerned citizens

gathered for a dinner at the Vo-Tech Building to discuss the problem of alcohol and
other drugs in the area.
Since then, the coalition has created and
run a radio ad against driving under the influence. They are discussing the possibilities of running an anti-alcohol and drug
abuse television ad in the future.
A majority of the members of the coalition are from Lock Haven and surrounding
communities. University students and administrators who believe in this cause are
also involved in the coalition.
Dr. Joseph Marron, dean of student affairs and a member of the coalition said,
"The Wellness Coalition is a very unique
group made up of equal partnerships between [the] University, Keystone Central
School District, and the Lock Haven com-

munity."
The coalition's main purpose is to increase the community's awareness of the
problem, namely alcohol and drug abuse.
Dealing with not only alcohol and drug
problems, the coalition will also discuss
whole-body wellness issues such as a
healthy lifestyle, including spreading information about a nutritious diet.
A weekly newsletter about the coalition
will appear in the Lock Haven Express every Wednesday starting later this month.
In a handout, one participant described
she had experienced fear when she was
walking down Main Street and could not go
into a store because "kids were hanging
around in front of the store."
This concern about the community, along
with the others above-mentioned, is the

uniting force of the coalition.
The wellness movement is also a national
movement. Alcohol and drug abuse problems are national problems.
"Nationally 28% of the students flunked
out of the college due to their alcohol problems," said Marron. " It would be my hope
that students that already embrace the wellness lifestyle may join us in spreading the
message throughout the community," he
added.
One such member of the coalition is University student Kevin Postlewait, a sophomore chemistry major who said, "we may
be a small group, but we are tackling a .big
problem in the community, which is well-

of $5.00. Orders are due by March 9 and
will be delivered March 22.
According to Rote, secretary to the vice
president for finance and administration
and coordinator of Daffodil Days on campus, the University averages 250 bunches
of daffodils sold and $1,000 earned a year.
More than 80 cents from each flower is
used to supfKjrt the Society's research, education, service and rehabilitation programs,
said Melissa Stahl, field representative for
the Cancer Society.
"It's a nice event and people know it
really well," she said.
Stahl said that the Lock Haven Junior
High School does an "absolutely fabulous
job" every year during the campaign.
While last year the junior high raised
$8,500, in 1993 they raised $11,000. In the
12 years of 14 in which they have participated in the event, the school has raised
$72,000, Stahl said.
Kirsten Border, the current Miss Pennsylvania, is this year's honorary Daffodil

Days spokesperson and will be at the junior
high on Tuesday to kick off the sales, Stahl
added.
,
The county's goal is to raise over
$15,000 each year, she said. Businesses,
churches and schools from Clinton County
participate.
In addition to advance orders, from
March 23-26, daffodils will be sold at point
of sales sights, such as Renningers in Mill
Hall, KMart, the post office and most local
banks.
The event originated in Canada and has
been popular in the United States since
1970, Stahl said.
The daffodil is a symbol of hope that
cancer can be cured in a lifetime. One million are sold in Pennsylvania each spring,
she added.
Stahl said it would be "fabulous" if a student wished to volunteer with any aspect of
the event. Anyone interested can call the
Cancer Society at 748-6072 for more information.

To snow or not to snow...

Winter break?
Every spring semester we have a break at the beginning of March. This break comes mid-way
throilgh the semester and is a great relief to most
students. But spring officially starts on March 21 so
should it really be entitled "spring break?"
I've already heard rumors that it is supposed to
snow this weekend. It seems like every year around
spring break time it snows. Are we jinxing ourselves by calling it "spring break" when spring
doesn't officially start until two weeks later?
Two years ago we expirenced the Blizzard of '93
right before we were to return to school. Last year
it snowed so bad we got an early start on spring
break and came back just in time for Pennsylvania
to declare a state of emergency, which caused us to
miss even more class days.
I'm not saying we don't need a spring break but it
seems to me that the only place experiencing spring
at this time of year is Florida. So if you're staying
around this area don't be surprised if you wake up
to a few feet of snow covering the ground.

Library unlock book drop
In last week's editorial entitled "Library hassles
101" I talked about some of the problems students
have expirenced in Stevenson Library. Because of
this editorial Robert Bravard, director of library services, has decided to unlock the book drop permanently. So if you need to drop off a book there is no
need to walk it into the library.

Missing mail causes frustration
To the editor:
I don't know about anyone else, but my mother
has a "special place"
where she keeps all of our
important papers, this inevitably means that they
are lost forever. This campus also has one of these
places, only they call it the
Mail Room.
Lock Haven University
has lost four pieces of my
mail. How can I be so
sure? After calling all of
the dorms in which I have
lived during my three
years at this University, I
also contacted the U.S.
Post Office here in Lock
Haven to complain about
these lost letters. The U.S.
Postal Service conducted a
search and the letters were
not found. They have never been returned to the
sender which leads me to
believe that they are in the
"Special Place" here on
campus.

These pieces of mail
have been missing for ov?r
a month now. Not only
have I been frantically
calling every person which
could have conceivably
seen my mail, my parents
have also contacted the
University regarding this
matter.
They were told that there
is no reason why I should
not have received this
mail. They were also told
that if the letter contains
the student's name and
Lock Haven University
there is not reason that the
students should not get
their mail. Well, my letters not only had my name
and LHU, but my hall
name as well — so where
is it? And why do we put
Return Addresses on mail
if mail handlers obviously
aren't going to use them?
This University obviously doesn't care about the
importance of mail to the
student body. Mail is es-

sential when living away
froni home for the first
time in many student's
lives. And isn't tampering
with the delivery of mail a
federal offense? Does this
University know this? I
am not the first person to
have lost mail and if
things don't change, I
won't be the last.
The administration of
LHU should wake up and
do something to alleviate
this pitiful situation. The
fact that there was a check
enclosed in these envelopes in now irrelevant to
me, I just want my mail
because of the high personal value attached to it.
No one should be subject
to such a frustrating experience like this. Not only
is it asinine, but unforgivable as well.
Gretchen G. Kling

Steamed up about something?
Write it down

Sometimes the

something is to

K.J. James sings the blues
by Samuel Evan Horovfitz
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
K.J. James, a blues musician who has toured both the United States and
Canada, brought his sound to the Parsons Union Building (PUB) MultiPurpose Room on Wednesday, Feb. 22.
James entertained his audience for an hour and a half, playing a total of 15
songs in his set. His music ranged across the blues spectrum during his performance.
After a few songs, he offered to take questions. "It's blues straight up,"
James said about his music. The musician went on to explain that he liked
all kinds of blues music, from the Mississippi Delta to the Detroit sound, and
tried to incorporate all these types into his music.
James played many different kinds of blues material including a song titled "Late in the Evening," which he described as "bluesey blues." James
also played covers of such songs as "Before You Accuse Me," which he attributed to Eric Clapton. The musician got the audience involved with songs
such as "Let the Good Times Roll." He also played songs with a touch of
humor such as "Breakfast Blues."
James entertained his audience in an unusual coffeehouse setting. The
PUB was set up in this coffeehouse format, with many small tables arranged
across the room. The seats quickly filled, and people were left standing in
the back of the auditorium. The audience was made up primarily of students, with some faculty members joining them.
This is the fourth straight visit James has made to Lock Haven. James is a
blues man in South Carolina. He said that he was self-taught on both the 12string and the six- string guitar.
"He was really good," said Elyssa Ray, an audience member. 1 thought it
was a different sound than what you usually hear at Lock Haven."
Blues musician, KJ. James played various

Student writers show off skills in Crucibl
by Christopher J. Colna
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
The University literary magazine, a forum of poetry, short stories and artwork for
all University students, is called the Crucible. It is produced once every semester.
Marjorie Maddox-Hafer, assistant professor of English, is the faculty editor of the
Crucible. She spends considerable time coordinating student functions to produce the
paper.
Maddox-Hafer views the magazine as a
way to give good student authors a wider
audience out of the classroom. She also
sees the magazine as a way to give students
from other majors a chance to test their
writing abilities.
The magazine does have competition in
publishing stories. The level of competition varies from semester to semester. Variables such as the number and quality of
submissions and the changing staff give an
author many chances to succeed even if he
or she fails to get published first.
The magazine is distributed in most
buildings on campus, such as in the dorms,
Bentley Dining Hall and the PUB. Approximately 500 to 600 copies are produced,
aside from 100 which are given to the
Clearfield campus.
The students on the staff are involved in
advertising and critiquing submitted work.
The future plans of the magazine staff in-

clude searching for further funding in the
hope of adding a professional binding job
to give strength to their finished product.
They intend to submit their magazine to a
national contest sjjonsored by the Associated Writers Program. This contest will send
their product up against other magazines in
the nation. Maddox-Hafer and Joseph
Nicholson, associate professor of English,

will submit articles in to the contest from
their classes.
Maddox-Hafer said she is very proud of
the students' work and hopes to add new
students to her list of workers and writers.
The staff of the Crucible is currently accepting submissions until Tuesday, March
21. These submissions can be placed in the
Crucible mailbox located in Raub 303. All

submissions must be typed and should include the student's name, campus address
and phone number.
The staff does request that students do
not send originals and that submissions be
limited to five poems and two short stories.
They are also always interested in new additions to their staff. Interested students
should contact Maddox-Hafer in Raub 311.

Bouncing Souls alternative to MTV favorites
by Matt Walsh
Eagle Eye Music Critic_
I'm sure by now everybody has become
all too familiar with the growing powerpunk-pop scene that has unfortunately been
played to death by MTV. Bands I liked
awhile ago, such as Green Day, Offspring
and Rancid, are bands of which 1 have become completely sick.
As always, the better bands are usually
the ones who aren't given the recognition
they deserve. One of these bands is The
Bouncing Souls.
The new album from The Bouncing
Souls is called The Good, The Bad, And
The Argyle (BYO/Chunksaah Records.)
The one thing I like most about The Bouncing Souls is that they don't take their music
too seriously. They're just out there having
fun, and most of their lyrics are funny and
deal with the everyday monotony of life.
The first song on the album is "I Like
Your Mom" and sets the tone for what you
are about to listen to... "1 like your mom/
and it's no fad/I want to marry her and be
your dad."
"These are the Quotes From Our Favorite
'80s Movies" is exactly what it sounds like.
All the lyrics are lines from some of the

classic '80s comedies, such as Better Off the movies.
Other songs include "Old School," "Some
Dead. I've spent so much time trying to figKind Of Wonderful"
and
"Deadbeats."
There also
happen to be
two killer cover songs on
this
disc.

of humor haven't been as successful.
I would expect bands such as The Bouncing Souls, NOFX, and Butt Trumpet to be
gaining success, but it hasn't happened. But
considering how sick of Green Day I am,
maybe it's for the better.
The Bouncing Souls are doing this for fun
and aren't looking for the major-label, big
money contract and getting played every
hour on MTV (which is evident considering
the top of the CD contains the MTV logo
with a red circle and line through it reading
"F'*'*k the Industry, Do it yourself across
it). Well, if they ever make it popular,
we'll see how sincere they really are.
Well, spring break has come upon us, and
those of us who aren't fortunate enough to
head down to the beautiful beaches of Florida and are forced to stick around here,
might be interested in a few concert dates.
Fishbone will be playing tonight at the
Trocadero in Philly. Fishbone is one of the
best live bands I've seen, and considering it
has been a couple of years since their last
album, I am hoping new material is on the
way. Also, the Trocadero will be featuring
Lords Of Acid on March 9. Since I'm
spending my spring break at home, I'll see
you there.

where NEA grants have been applied in the
past. Many mainstream artists and organizations have received grants from the NEA.
- Rita Dove, poet laurate of the U.S.
and winner of the Pulitzer prize.
- Oscar Hijuelos, Pulitzer prize winning
author of The Mambo Kings Play Songs of
Love.
- John Irving, American Book Award
winning author of The World According to
Garp.

- WNET in New York, the country's
biggest Public Broadcast Station, has received $35 million since 1967.
- Arts Festival Association of Atlanta
received $15,000 for five artists from
around the country to create public artwork.
From here the list of accomplished artists
and enlightening organizations goes on and
on.
All in all, to oppose the NEA is to oppose
enlightenment and enrichment of our lives.
NEA grants go to programs and institutions
in areas that may not otherwise be privy to
such pleasures. To kill the NEA and deny
people of what the arts have to offer would
be an "affront to the taxpayer!"

Lock Haven native, won all three rounds
over his South Carolina opponent.
Teammates Jason Pletcher, 156, and
Chris Moon, 165, both lost close decisions
in the open division contests.
Pletcher, from Castanea, was dealt his
first loss of his collegiate career after four
consecutive wins to Mike Francis of Penn
State University in one of the featured
bouts of the evening. Francis won 58-57;

On December 3, the Castanea native decisioned Francis 2-1 at the PSU Invitational. Pletcher got off to a slow start, but finished with a strong third round.
LHU's third participant, Chris Moon,
165, lost a close 2-1 decision to PSU's Derek Vietro. Again, Moon, from Honolulu,
got off to a slow start, but became much
more effective in scoring as the bout progressed. He won the third round on all
three judges score cards. "It was just a little too late,"commented veteran Bald Eagle
coach. Dr. Ken Cox.

lady Eagles end season with a loss
By Troy Derkos
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
All hopes for a bright ending to a
• disappointing season were shattered this
week as the Lady Eagles (7-19, 2-10
PSAC-West) lost their final regular season
game.
Edinboro (15-11, 7-5) came into Thomas
Fieldhouse and took the wind away from
the Lady Eagles' sails, 89-79. The game
was nip-and-tuck throughout, so the final
score tells very little of the story.
Before entering the game, the Lady
Eagles had come up winless in their last
fiy^ contests. A win on the final day of the
regular season would have done a lot to
boost the morale of the struggling bunch.
Furthermore, emotions were riding high
frohi the tip since it was senior Stephanie
Troyan's final game at LHU. The Lady
Eagles would have to say "goodbye" to

their senior standout. Head Coach Frank
Scarfo was looking to send Troyan out on
a winning note, but it was not to be.
Troyan did, however, cap off a fine
career with 19 points and six rebounds.
Both teams fought hard throughout, and
the first half, alone, saw the lead change
hands seven times. Edinboro snuck out
with a 42-37 lead at the half.
The Lady Eagles then "turned it on"
early in the second half, going on an 8-2
run, and taking the lead 45-44. The two
teams seesawed their way back and forth
until Edinboro grabbed a 62-60 lead.
Then, Jeanette Shafer nailed a three and
was fouled. Shafer hit the free-throw and
the Thomas Fieldhouse crowd erupted as
the Lady Eagles took a 64-62 lead with

eight minutes remaining.
The lead switched four more times until
Edinboro grabbed it to stay, 73-72.
Shafer put in a double-double, with 17
points and 10 assists. Amy Nickles also
had a double-double, 12 points and 15
boards.
"We played awfully hard today for a
team with a frustrating and disappointing
season," Coach Scarfo said. "Hopefully,
it's a good sign for a team with a lot of
character."
"It's disappointing to end the season on a
losing note," Scarfo said. "But, were going
to move on and try to rebuild for the
future."
For the season, Carlson led the team in
points at 12.8 per game. She was followed
by Troyan, 12.0 and Shafer 10.9. Nickels
led in rebounds with 178, Carlson followed
with 139. And Shafer led in assists with
144.

About the
2'Minute Warning...
If you would like your sportsrelated club to appear in the TwoMinute Warning, just phone in
results of your latest match to
893-2334.
The results will appear in the next
available Eagle Eye.

The men's and women's track teams
traveled to Cornell University on February
18 and Kutztown University on February
25 for their final meets of the regular
indoor season.
Amy Parkes led the way for the women's
team once again as she has remained
undefeated in the 55-meter high hurdles
throughout 1995. At Cornell, she defeated
a field that included some top notch
division I competition (8.37 seconds),
while her time of 8.67 seconds garnered her
the victory at Kutztown.
Parkes continued to display her
versatility at Cornell by placing fifth in the
long jump (17 feet, 0 inches) and setting a
new school record in the 200-meter dash
with a time of 27.4 seconds. She also led 4
X 400 meter relay team members Amy
Yarger, Teresa Falcone and Tamara
Vreeland to a new school record in a time
of 4:18.0.
Yarger set a new school record of her
own in the 800-meter race at Cornell. Her
time of 2:17.9 (third) not only broke her old
mark by four seconds but met the standard
that provisionally qualifies her for the
NCAA
Division
II
National
Championships in two weeks. In addition
Yarger's time of 2:18.89 at Kutztown
brought her second place honors.
Also at Cornell, Tamara Vreeland placed
sixth in the 400 meters (1:04.5) and Natalie
Jackson triple jumped into fourth place
with a bound of 34'-8 1/4". Jackson
furthered the mark to 35'-4" at Kutztown
as she leaped to a second-place finish in the
triple jump as well as a second place finish
in the long jump (16'-1").
Holly Fantaskey was the top Lady Eagle
high Jumper at Cornell as she cleared 5'-l"
to finish in second and qualify for the
ECAC Championships. Joining her on the
podium was teammate Teresa Falcone who
finished in fourth place by clearing the
same height. Fantaskey's fewer misses at
previous heights allotted her a higher place

Freshman A m y Parkes has outrun her competitors not only in the hurdles, but recently, in the 8 0 0 meter Tace(photo provided by Head Coach Mark Elliston).
finish over other competitors who had
cleared the same height.
Brenda Trimble and Karen Thrapp found
the track at Cornell to be as fast for the
distance events as it had been for their
teammates in the sprints. Thrapp (11:10.1)
edged out Trimble (11:10.3) at the line for
fifth place in the 3000 meters. Trimble
was the lone placer in the event at
Kutztown as she bettered her Cornell time
by finishing in 11:03.9.
The men were successful at both of the
final meets as well. Senior Steve Kravitz
set a new school record in the 200 meters
with a time of 23.4 seconds and also
qualified for the ECAC Championships.
Though not able to stay with his teammate,
Eric Hess beat the old mark as well with a
time of 23.6 seconds.
At Kutztown, Hess's time of 23.99 in the
same event gave him fourth place behind
teammate Shawn Ivie (23:90). Hess also
placed sixth in the 55 meter hurdles at
Cornell in a time of 8.48 seconds.
The men's 4 x 400 meter relay team
placed sixth at Cornell. Teammates Andy
Welk, Ivie, Jason Lloyd and Kravitz

finished in a time of 3:33.7.
Final place winners at Kutztown were
Kravitz in fourth in the 400 meters (51.97),
Kyle Waite in fifth in the shot put (47'-4")
and Aaron Wynings who won ftie high
jump by clearing 6'-5".
Both teams will return to Kutztown this
weekend for the ECAC Champjonships.
Those making the trip for the men will be
Kyle Waite, Aaron Wynings, Ryan Gooch,
Neil Raymond, Hess, Kravitz, Mark Reitz,
Ben Steward, Matt Ferchalk,
Marc
Clausen, Greg Rutz, Ivie, Welk and Jason
Lloyd,
Women representing LHU will be
Parkes, Falcone, Amy Kerin, Yarger,
Holly Fantasky, Natalie Jackson, Thrapp,
Trimble and Vreeland.
Both Parkes and Yarger have a strong
chance of representing Lock Haven at the
Division II National Championships in two
weeks.
The meet, being held in
conjunction with the Division I and III
National Championships, will be held in
the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana.
It is being heralded as one of the largSst
track meets ever held in the United States.

Bald Eagles end '^average'' season
by Kevin Kovac
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
A blowout loss that ended the University
men's basketball team's 1994-95 season
Saturday night clinched an entirely
"average" legacy for them: They finished
at the satisfactory-but-not-spectacular .500
level in both overall record (13-13) and
PSAC-West competition (6-6).
The defeat, a 97-69 Thomas Field House
thrashing administered to them by
Edinboro University, was a poor way to
close a fairly successful year. A victory in
the contest, in fact, would have given the
Bald Eagles a winning record and a
third-place divisional finish.
But instead of a strong effort to attain the
very reachable goals, the Lx)ck Haven
cagers staggered through one of their
worst showings of the campaign. They

Men's Hoops
fell behind Edinboro, 25-11, nine minutes
into the first half, and never were able to cut
the margin to less than eight the remainder
of the way.
There were few highlights from the game
Dave Blank's team will carry with them
into the off-season.
Shawn Crissman
continued his emergence over the second
half of the year by scoring 16 points and
grabbing 12 rebounds, but that was
effectively it for the Bald Eagles.
Sophomore Mike Shue, the team leader
and
second-leading
scorer
in
the
conference, was shackled by the Edinboro
defense and scored just 11 points on 2-of-9
shooting. He was greatly overshadowed on
the result sheets by Edinboro's Tyrone

Mason, the PSAC's leading scorer who
netted 33 points Saturday.
LHU center Todd Hawkins, the lone
senior on the squad, failed to reach
double-figures in his final game for the
University. The seven-footer was, for the
most part, a non-factor in the contest.
Of course, the majority of the Bald Eagle
roster will return next fall. But with one
trip through the PSAC war under their belt,
they certainly will no longer be able to hide
behind the "young, inexperienced" label
when times get tough.
The
talented
but
unpolished
underclassmen this season should become
mature, competitive uppercla,ssmen, players
able to compete with PSAC powers
Edinboro, lUP and California. If they don't
progress, however, their chances of
becoming a conference playoff team are
small.
