Open frat parties to be thing of the past
By J a y Zecli
Co-editor
Open fraternity parties, as they are
now known, will become non-exsistent as
of January 20, 1986, according to Tim
Susick, Associate Dean of Student Life.
"I'd like to close open-parties
tomorrow, but I wanted to give tiiem (the
frats) a chance to respond to the
proposed changes," said Susick.
All parties for the spring semester

1986 will be closed. But the definition of
closed parties has yet to be defined.
Ken Foster, (t)MA, is chairman of the
Intra-Fraternity Council (IFC) Party
Policy Committee, whose purpose is to
develop a policy
around the new
changes. The definition of closed party
is to be one of the main topics. The
committee meets tomorrow at 7 p.m.

Reasons behind closing
There are a number of reasons behind
Susick's closing of the parties besides

the obvious reason of serving beer
without a license, and the main one is
that the Greek image at LHU is
tarnished.
The community views all party guests
as members of the fraternity.
Consequently, when people are singing
loudly on their way home at 2 a.m., or
urinating in the bushes, the fratemity is
blamed.
"There are too many 'Three buck a
week Greeks'; they take in the social
aspects without actually having to be
Greek," said Susick, "i want to make it
something special to be greek."
About five years ago the greek
population on campus stood at 18
percent. It's now betow 7.5 percent.
it is hoped that the absence of open
parties will be a beginning in improved
relationships between the Greek
community and the town.
Another of the reasons that Susick
cited was the "host liability law", which
basically says that hosts' are

responsible for the actions of their
guests on the way home. This law
especially deals with alcohol related
problems, such as car acckJents.
Yhe possible liability resulting from
beer served at a fraternity should be a
deferent that makes the risks far greater
than the benefits. Another concern is
that some advisers to fraternities may
also be liable.

"...not for the beer"
"Students tell me they go for the
sociaiizatlon, not for the beer," added
Susk;k.
Last Thursday "Cheers to L.H. You"
committee , the non-alcoholic alternative
to frat parties, decided to only open for
special events. The reason given was
lack of student support.
"The fraternities at Lock Haven were
on a course to destruction. These are
needed changes. The frats are just
going to have to bite the bullet for a
while,* said Susk:k.

inlernationai friendship among people
who love the great books of the workJ.
The play is centered on Helene Hanff,
a middle-class woman writer living in New
York City, and the staff of a small
Ixjokshop in London, England.
The sarcastic and funny part of
Helene Hanff will by played by freshman
Angela Sparks.
i-ier lead counterpart on stage will be
veteran U^U performer Robb Warren,
playing the part of Frank Doel. Doel is
Hanff's main correspondent
in the
London bookstore.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

EDITORIAL

Ho, Ho, Ho,
Ho-ho-ho, Merry Christmas. What's that you say, there's
still a month and a half till the big day? You'd hardly l<now
that by the way advertisers are already bombarding us with
"Buy for the Holidays" messages.
Turn on the TV, and you'll see what I mean. Every other
commercial seems to contain a pitch for mail-order
Christmas albums, sales on Christmas trees, and anything
and everything for you could possibly want for your
cabbage patch kid.
I'm a big fan of the late Bing Crosby, but even "White
Christmas" can be pretty nauseating when it's played
behind the voice of a revoltingly enthusiastic announcer
two weeks before Halloween. And that's when I saw the
first Christmas commercial this year, two v^eeks before
Halloween.
I always held to the obviously mistaken assumption that
the "Holiday Season" started on Thanksgiving and
continued until New Years Day. I guess I was wrong. Hell,
even the bookstore has Christmas decorations up already.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Scrooge or anything, but I
need a little more time to breathe before I start to feel guilty
about not having enough cash to buy presents.
Christmas has been around for 2,000 years. Yet,
somehow I doubt that parents back then worried about
which accessory to buy for their daughters' Cleopatra doll
when Christmastime came around, and I'm sure they didn't
worry about it two months ahead of time. But what I am
sure of is that people back then had just as good a
Christmas as we do today.
If we don't watch out, Crazy Eddie and his "Christmas in
August " may turn out to .be prophetic. • After all, with
Christmas in mid-October, we're already halfway there.

The Lock Haven University varsity
soccer field is a marvel of modern
landscaping. In fact, i wonder if we
students fully realize what a gem we
have.
The field adds so much to the teams
performance and it is capable of
manipulating the ball better than the Isest
of the players on the team. Why, it even
has a mind of its own.
How many times has an opponent
been dribbling the ball down the field on a
breakaway and had the ball mysteriously
jump away from him?
I say this was no acctoent but rather a
skillfully executed steal by our 12th
player, the field.
And how many times has this 12th
player assisted in goals. I remember
numerous times when our booters were
charging down to our opponent's goal
and this great offensive weapon wouto
juggle the ball to mix up the defense;
thereby setting up the ensuing goal.
Perhaps the most effective weapon in
any athletic team's arsenal is its power to
mentally intimtoate its opponent. Our
12th player has this skill mastered.

The sight of him is enough to send fear
into the hearts of some opponents. And
I've seen their faces turn white as soon
as they got a look at him.
In fact, some teams are so intimtoated
that they won't even come to play us
because of the threat he imposes.
Aside from its contribution to the
game, the soccer field is a landscaping
marvel with a beauty unparalleled by
most fields.
The functional , yet picturesque,
pattern of ditches and gulleys combined
with a striking display of rich brown soil
lightly sprinkled with grass brings back
memories of a time when things were built
with an eye for beauty.
And to think that some people don't
like our soccer field, they say that a
nationally ranked Division II soccer team
should have a "real" soiccer field. I think
these people are warped or just plain
dumb.
How could they be so blind that they
cant see the obvious advantages the
field gives our team.
i think they should all wake up and
smell the coffee.

Clarion drops Bald Eagle gridders 22-13
by Dave Walters
Sports Editor
The Bald Eagle football team dropped
a 22-13 decision to the 20th ranked
Golden Eagles of Clarion in their final
home contest of the season Saturday.
In the first half of play, the Bald Eagles
wishbone offense registered 291 yards in
in offense. Dispite LHU's outstanding
offensive performance in first 30
minutes, Clarion took a 15-13 advantage
into the Locker room a halftime.
LHU turned the ball over four times in
the first half and missed three scoring
opportunKies. Wide receiver John Klacik
didnl have a defender within 15 yards of
him and dropped a pass in the endzone.
LHU also had two drives stopped inside
the Clarion 25 yard line.
Clarion's first TD of the day came on
an interception by comerback Lorenzo
Burrus .Burrus picked off Pat Cahill's
pass at the 2:45 mark of the first quarter.
.After the ensuing kick off, the Bald
Eagles moved the ball from Ks 20 to the
CU 13. LHU was then faced with a
fourth-and six situation. Helping the Bald
Eagle drive was fullback Roosevelt

Brown with a 36-yard run and halfback
Gary Simpson with a 28-yard carry.
The Bato Eagles went for it instead of
kicking the field goal. Sophomore half
back Erto Speece only could pick up a
yard tMfore the Clarion defense stacked
him up.
Clarion could not move the ball on their
next possession and the LHUdefense
forced them to punt. After the punt, LHU
had the ball on their own 45.
The Bald Eagle wishbone took over
and moved the ball 55 yards into the
endzone. Brown took the ball on the
ninth play of the drive and powered his
way 10 yards for the score. Wayne
Quinn's extra point tied the game at
seve*n apiece.
LHU's defense got the baJI back and
allowed the wishbone to go to work again
as freshman Mike Hofer recovered a
fumble at the LHU 46.
After the fumble recovery, LHU's
offense moved the ball 54 yards on
seven plays for another score. Cahill
optioned down the left side off the Clarion
defense and kept the ball, going 18 yards
for the TD. Quinn's PAT was blocked and
LHU led 13-7.

With 2:42 remaining in the half, Clarton
quarterback Doug Emminger and the rest
of the Golden Eagie offense went into
their two-minute offense. Clarion drove
71 yards in two plays for a touchdown.
Emminger sneaked the ball in from the
one.
The Lock Haven extra point defense
led by the enthusiasm of Hank Boyd
would have easily blocked John
Desmond's extra point, but quick
thinking holder Jerry Haslett pulled the
ball up, rolled out to the right and threw a
pass to Mark Kelly for a two-point
conversion.
Clarion scored their final points of the
game as they took the second half
opening kickoff and sparked a ten-play
75-yard drive, capped by Emmingers
seven- yard run.
The Bald Eagles are now 2-7 overall
and finished the
Pennsylvania
Conference Western division at 1-5.
Fisher's Bald Eagles finish the 1985
season this Saturday against State
University of New York at Buffalo.

Sports Spotlight
Andy Shearer:
Off and Running
By Kim Madgiak
News Editor
Andy Shearer, a senior Cross Country
runner for the Bald Eagies, feels the
success of any runner, whether
competitive or not, lies within the
sacriftoes the individual is willing to make.
Andy doesn't find it hard to make
himself run each day.
"I really enjoy running or i wouldn't put
my body through it," he said, "if you have
a goal in mind that you really want to
succeed at, you work at it until you get h.
My goal is to run the Boston Marathon."
Andy has qualified for Boston twice, but
still hasn't run the actual race. He hopes
to qualify for the '86 Boston Marathon
later this year.
"Boston is really important to me. It's
very disappointing to know I can run and
then have an injury slow me up," he
commented.
Shearer has had two
operations on his knees, both directly
related to running.
This August, however. Shearer came
back to win the Tiaghdaton Run in Jersey
Shore after having mononucleosis last
spring.
'I was really surprised at my mile pace
when I finished, as it was almost a minute
faster than my training times had l)een,"
he added.
Shearer
first
became involved in
running when he was a
freshman in high
school.
"Another goal I've
had, since then, is to
cover the Appalachian
Trail next summer." he
stated.
"I feel running has
helped me in my
personal
life
especially. It's really
easy to think through
problems when I'm all
alone on the road and
I plan to continue
Andy Shearer
running until the day i
die," ha stated.
Shearer is a journalism major, with a
minor in philosophy.

Black History Month slated for Nov.
By Kim Madgiak
News Editor
The Black Cultural Society, at last
Thursday's meeting, discussed vartous
activities to be heto during Black History
Month.
The 75 member society has planned
a Black Film Festival, a talent show, and
an Eight- Fraternity Step-Show Contest
which involves different fraternities
competing against each other in drill

team performances. The month's events
will conclude with a dinner, a fashion
show, and a guest speaker.
Tentatively scheduled to speak at the
dinner is Tony Brown, host of the
nationally televised PBS program, "Tony
Brown's Journal." Last year's speaker
was accomplished poet Nikki Giavonni.
Also discussed at the meeting was the
group's desire to become a greater part
of the socio-academic life here.

Indian Festival set for LHU
By Arvind Sood
LHU's Indian Festival, to be held
November 17, will be highlighted with
international cuisine and a cultural
program.
Various other activities include
classical and native folk dances, along
with a book display. The tx>ok show will
begin several days before the actual
festival, and contain novels by several
Indian authors.
This event evolved when Indian Prime
Minister Mrs. ind Ira Ghandi spoke with
,-f>resident Reagan on her visit to the
United States last year. They both
agreed that a cultural exchange program
would help to develop a better
understanding of the two biggest

democracies in the world.
As a result,these programs show the
culture, art, history, and technology of
India. They have since been occurring in
various areas of the U.S.
The Festival began here when the
indo-American Corporation presented
the toea to Professor of Social Work,
Sociotogy, and Anthropotogy Dr. Renuka
Biswas. H, in turn, spoke with Dr. Craig
Dean Willis and plans for the event
began to take shape.
Foltowing the Festival next Tuesday, a
sltoe show on the country wili be held by
Associate Professor of Art, Dr. Mohinder
Gill, on November 19. Proceeds will go
towards a scholarship awarded to an
international student.
