SCC approves discontinuation of funding Eagle Eye
By Rich Johnson
After meeting behind closed doors
Wednesday night the SCC, in a 21-5-1 vote,
approved the discontinuation of funding
the Eagle Eye with the understanding that if
theEagle Eye runs into problems the SCC
will step in. This will go into effect after the
end of this fiscal year - July 1, 1985.
SCC President Gary Interdonato said,
"We want the paper, no question about
that, but it's better if the Eagle Eye is
divorced from the SCC because sometimes
problems arise as to what the reporters feel
they may write about." He went on to say
that the campus needs theEagle Eye because
it is the sole source of information for the
students.
Dave Prusak, co-editor of the Eagle Eye,
said, "I was pleased with the decision

Tina was hot!

first prize honors in RHA Airband Contest.

because a government should never have
power over the free press. My only complaint is that 1 wish an alternative means of
funding would have been established prior
to the decision."
Kevin Campbell, co-editor of the Eagle
Eye, added, "The move leaves future funding of the Eagle Eye in the air, which is of
grave concern. If appropriate finances are
established, I believe all parties involved
will benefit."
Interdonato said that an executive session
was held because some personal matters
were mentioned between him and the Eagle
Eye advisor. Dr. Douglas Campbell. He can
concluded that, "It was done out of respect
for myself. Dr. Campbell, and the entire
Eagle Eye staff.

George Marshall, vice president of Administration, commented on the motion by
saying that the idea appealed to him
because he feels "that the Eagle Eye should
get out from under anyone else's control
and control itself."
In addition to the motion dealing with
the Eagle Eye, Interdonato's report informed the SCC Senators that he had talked to
Associate Dean of Education, James
Smalley, about the idea of computerized
pre-registration here at LHU. Smalley said,
"The system LHU has now is the best
system as far as I can see." In response, Interdonato stated that he was going to get in
touch with other schools to find out what
problems, if any, they have with their preregistrations.

Interdonato also stated that the executive
elections are approaching and will be held
April 22nd. Petitions for executive positions are now available, and must be turned
in by 4 p.m., April 15th.
SCC Vice-President Todd Baney is looking into the possibility of purchasing
athletic equipment for use by students who
will be attending summer school. Other announcements at the session also included
that the SCC and Penn Dot will be holding
a "Keep Pa. Beautiful Day" in April.
Deanette Bixler was named chairman of
the SCC election committee, replacing
Baney who announced his candidacy for a
different executive position from the one he
now holds.

Committee considers athletic overhaul
By Tim Sporcic
The Student Cooperative Council may no
longer be funding athletics if the recommendations being considered by the
Athletic Study Committee are accepted by
President Willis. The committee is considering several recommendations to
overhaul athletics at Lock Haven University. The committees report is expeeted to be
given to the president within the next few
weeks.
President Willis established the committee in Sept. 1983 to meet three charges or
questions on athletics: institutional
philosophy, resources, and future competition. The committee spent their entire first
year talking with coaches and others involved with athletics.
The committee, chaired by Dr. Bruce
Young, consists of 11 voting members and
four resource members. Members include a
cross section of the faculty, student body,
and alumni interests. Willis said he
established the committee because "I was
getting different polarized advice on
athletics, some wanted me to do more with
athletics, some less." Said Willis, "I
wanted to get a thoughtful group together
to look at these charges."
"We wanted to be supportive of athletics
and yet at the same time solve some existing
problems," said Dr. Young, "We extended
an invitation to all the coaches on campus
to let them ekplain their problems before
the committee."
After a year of research the committee
came up with a draft of their resolutions.
This occured last fall. Said John Johnston,
committee member, "Ideas were suggested
and argued, and many found their way into
the final draft." He said, "We are in tjie
refining stage right now - almost everything
has been completed. In the end, everyone
will have been able to argue each point a
half-dozen times."
One of the most important points in the
committee's tentative report is that the
committee recommended there be a spending cap on athletics. This cap would be on

all funds, coming from both the SCC and
the administration. If this recomendation is
accepted by president Willis, it would be in
conflict with the athletic department's request for even more funds for the next
fiscal year.
Another point in the committee's
tenative draft is to transfer the funding of
student athletics from the SCC to the administration. The administration would
then establish a fee for athletics which
would be collected similarly to the student
activity fee. Currently athletics take up
about 50 percent of the SCC budget.
Other changes are also in the making.
Says Young, "There is a potential for
significant changes with the recommendations. All aspects of the athletic program
have been examined." Continues Young,
"We want a great athletic program and a
great university."
The committe has approached all of the
charges with both academic and athletic interests in mind. One of their major points
has been to require student/athletes to be
subject to the same academic standards and
regulations as other students. Currently, by
special exception, 20 athletes are allowed to
be admitted to LHU each year who do not
meet standard admission requirements. The
committee has suggested this policy be
changed.
There has been much concern over what
the committee's final recommendations will
be, as no one has seen them yet. Says
Johnston, "The faculty has been concerned
that the recommendations will be clear and
supportive of academics without injuring
athletics."
The football program has also received
the scrutiny of the committee. The most recent draft of the committee's report recommends that, within the next two years, the
football team move from eastern to the
western conference. If this is not possible,
the committee feels the team should
withdraw from the conference and pursue
Etlternative scheduling.

The transportation of athletes was also
taken into consideration in the report. The
committee feels that the current system of
transportation poses a high safey risk, with
fatigued student drivers driving home after
a comf)etition. The committee has recommended that professional buses and drivers
be contracted for the competitions. If the
cost becomes too prohibitive the committee
recommends that either the number of
away events be cut, or some of the small
sports be cut.
The key to the report is now whether
Willis will follow the committees recommendations from their final draft. Says
Johnston, "We hope whatever we do will
be accepted by the president." The final
decision as to these recommendations will
rest with Willis.
On the subject of the report, Willis said,
"I have not asked the committee to spend
this much time only to take their ideas
cavalierly.'' He says he feels the committee
has proven qualified to deal with athletics.

More Letters

Dear Editor,
I think it is time we students stop complaining about the Eagle Eye and do
something different. How about a little
positive feedback? I'm sure the editors
would not mind some support from the student population.
In most issues of the Eagle Eye somebody
has a complaint for the editors. Many of
these letters are written with one purpose in
mind - to start a controversy. Mr. Gittleman's letter is a good example. The least
he could have done was to submit the correct information.
I would like to break an LHU tradition
and congratulate the Eagle Eye staff.
Although the staff is limited, they always
seem to turn out two papers each week.
Also, the stories are always professionally
written.
1 may not be a journalism major, but I do
know a bit about writing. Mr. Gittleman
may be more qualified than I am in journalism, but I can say one thing which he
can't. I know the difference between professionalism and ignorance.

Dear Editor:
Dear Editor:

I just got finished reading a recent letter
to the editor that was published in the Eagle
Eye, and my reaction is that I am appalled.
I'm appalled about how this near-minded
student (John Furnish) criticizes Bentiey
food. It is quite understandable why this
student would be mad. I would be mad too,
if I found any kind of insect in my food,
but this constant complaining about how
Bentiey food is bad, for Pete's sake grow
up.
It's not like they wanted to put the insect
in the food. Maybe somewhere along the
line someone might have made a mistake.
That's understandable, everyone makes
mistakes.
I think this student, as well as other
students, are looking for something to pick
on. They take their frustrations out on the
food because they are having a bad day.
1 like the way this student and other
students complain about the dessert, but it
seems like when the people who work in

Bentiey put it out, most of the desserts are
all gone at the end of the day. From this
result, it seems like the students who were
complaining were forced to eat it.
I also like the way this student complains
about there not being enough protein in the
food. I have to admit this student is right
about this opinion, but this isn't a health
and fitness school. Lock Haven, as well as
other universities, serve food that is high in
carbohydrates. The reason why the food is
like this is because this kind of food is good
for studying (mostly energy food). We are
here to study, aren't we?
I am a student here, and that's all 1 hear
from other students in their constant
bickering about the food. Personally, I'm
sick of these students complaining. 1 know
the food here isn't great, and sometimes I
think the food stinks, but I think the people
at Bentiey (for what they have) are doing a
fine job.
Jeffrey A. Masi

Dear Editor:
I've had just about enough of it. I've
been a journalism major here for two years
and I can truly say that I have had enough.
After reading David Gittelman's abridged
letter to the editor in Tuesday's Eagle Eye
as well as the "editorial" in which the
editors defended themselves under the umbrella of editorial license, I've decided that
it will not be the David Gittelmans of this
world that will have a hard time finding a
job.
It would be wrong for me to graduate
without letting somebody know how I feel,
but not half as wrong as what is now going
on at this school. Let's talk about journalism here at LHU. I, too have transferred
from another "hurting" institution - The
Pennsylvania State University. (If your're
asking why, don't, I can't answer that question.) But did you ever wonder why it is the
transfer students that complain the loudest
about the situation here? Maybe it's
because we know what it is like "out there"
at those schools that graduate people who
get jobs behind microphones instead of
bars.
I can't say I've been quiet about my feelings toward this school and I do my share of
complaining, but I only do it because I
know what it could be like here and I hate
to see anyone cheated. You know
something's wrong when three students are
asked to teach a college level TV news
course.
Sure, you can say that there are journalism graduates that get jobs in the industry, but why not do a story on graduate
placement "just to see"? I can say that I
will get a job after 1 leave here because I

have had the opportunity of an education at
Penn State.
Let me clear up one point for the Eagle
Eye staff, of which, at one time, I was a
member, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!! And
that's the real crime here. I'm not going to
point any fingers because that doesn't fix
things, it just makes people angry. But
believe me, by the time you graduate, it's
too late to realize that you don't know
enough to get a job. And I feel sorry for
people that graduate from here in that position. There is so much more I can say, but
no one will listen - the administration won't
listen, the faculty may listen, but won't do
anything about it and there are even
students who won't listen. I know, I've
tried to talk to these people.
I can't speak for David Gittelman, but I
suspect he knew what the program was like
here and decided that it would be a waste of
time. As for me, 1 stuck with it. What did I
get for it? Sure, I have a high grade point
average and I've received my share of
scholarships and awards but I've also gotten a lot of grief and in some areas nothing
but trouble.
So the Eagie Eye staff can take this letter
and do with it what they will. I only hop)e
they have enough professionalism to print it
in its entirety and not incur that age old expression about the reservation of the right
to edit for length and libelous material. I
didn't ace Communications Law and Ethics
for nothing and they wouldn't ask me to
write for the paper if they didn't think my
writing was "good enough" for them.
Sincerely,
Paula Miller

In response to last Tuesday's letter to the
editor, I would like to express my disappointment with a member of the public
relations office. It seems that in all his press
releases dealing with "campus goings-on",
we on campus were not informed that this
was David Gittelman week.
It seems Mr. Gittelman has appointed
himself as the guiding influence and most
expert critic of the student body. Well Mr.
Gittelman, so you can't discredit my journalistic sense of responsibility, I am a student here at LHU and that is all the
qualification I, or anybody else on this campus, need in order to express my opinion in
the Eagle Eye.
It was suggested that the Eagle Eye has
been printing adversive letters so they could
come up with concurrent, biting replies that
surely must discourage future input. People
are writing these editorials and it is the
Eagle Eye's obligation to clear up any
misconceptions. Perhaps you suggest the
Eagle Eye not print such editorials. That,
Mr. Gittelman, would be a violation of the
"First Amendment" you so skillfully
quoted in your letter to the editor. Perhaps
it is your unique understanding of the First
Amendment that led to your decision to end
your journalistic studies at Temple.
The Eagle Eye is run by students who are
learning the trade. It is not your privilege,
as a fellow student, to evaluate their progress. Let's leave that up to the professors.
I don't care how impressive you think you
are, you are not qualified to teach at any
level of education.
The Eagle Eye staff are not professionals.
They are bound to write something you
may not like. Maybe it would be a little
easier for them to concentrate on
publishing a decent paper if there weren't
self-seeking egotists such as yourself
Dear Dave:

I've been working for the Eagle Eye for a
while now, and I consider you a good
friend. However, Matt Riley and Dave Gittelman are also good friends of mine. The
way I see it, I'm in a pretty good position to
cast an objective eye on the situation that
has sprung from the editorial printed in the
Tuesday March 12th issue of the Eagle Eye.
I am not, however, taking sides in the
matter. To tell the truth, I find the whole
thing rather ridiculous.
Whatever happened to simple things like
restraint, discretion, and compromise? I
have seen very little of these virtues in the
week or so since the original editorial was
printed.
Instead, I have seen the situation
snowball from a mere inconvenience (the
late distribution of the Eagle Eye) to a series
of ugly journalistic catfights.
I am not afraid to sav that I find all of it

you write. For this, I refer you back to Intro, to Journalism - PR relases never receive
by-lines. Or maybe your anger stems from
the fact that you were turned down for the
editor's position of this "rag", as you refer
to it, a few semesters ago.
And to finish off your absolutely trashy
letter to the editor, you attack the dreams
and future plans of the staff. What gives
you the right to abuse people like that? Is
that your idea of professionalism?
I suggest you take all you awards and
return them to whoever was blind enough
to give them to you, or better yet, fill your
own office walls with them, then flush!
I would like to say it has been a pleasure
talking with you, Mr. Gittelman, but I
can't. It seems that with all your concern
with getting your name spelled correctly,
you finally got your name in the paper, unfortunately it was misspelled. It should have
been spelled H-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e.
I would like to.take this opportunity to
invite Mr. Gittelman and others to end the
foolishness we have all been subject to on
the editorial pages in the last couple of
weeks. Perhaps we can address ourselves to
problems of greater value, or maybe we can
even find something good to write about.

quite objectionable. In fact it makes me
sick.
Saying that Matt Riley knows nothing
about journalism does not perform any
kind of service to your readers. On the
other hand, when Dave Gittelman calls the
Eagle Eye a "rag", that doesn't do
anything for the morale of the newspaper's
extremely limited staff.
Agreed, it wasn't exactly tactful for
Kevin McNamara to confront you, Dave,
as he did. But to be honest, I can't really see
how you helped matters any by using such
harsh terms in explaining your differences
with him.
I understand that feelings have been hurt,
but we'd all be better off if we'd learn to exercise some self-control.

High school students to attend Spring Drama Day
The Department of Speech Communication/Theatre at Lock Haven University is
hosting the first Spring Drama Day tomorrow in the John Sloan Fine Arts Center on
campus.
Thirty-eight Central Pennsylvania high
schools have been invited to visit the
University's theatre facilities and to share
techniques and ask questions concerning
problems that the high school theatre
groups may have.
"The worst thing that can happen to a

university is to be shut oft from the outside-the public," said John B. Gordon, chairman of the Department of Speech Communication/Theatre.
Gordon hopes that the high school
students and faculty will share their experience and problems, and compare
techniques employed.
During the day, a short talk, followed by
an open discussion on design and directorial approaches to Lock Haven University's present production. The Last Bouquet,

will be made.
High school visitors will be taken on
small, personalized tours of the theatre
facilities, scene shop, and computerized
lighting control booth. Brief demonstrations of crafts will be presented in each
area.
The group is also invited to attend the
production of The Last Bouquet by Dennis
Holt. This drama examines remembrances
and hopes of imprisioned Hungarian
freedon fighters.

The Spring Drama Day will also be
geared to generate interests in high school
students who may consider Lopk Haven
University as a choice of higher education,
said Gordon. The main goal of the Spring
Drama Day, however, is to have two-way
communication, share information, and exchange ideas on dramatic productions - a
listen to the guests' concerns.
"We (the University) are not and don't
want to be an 'ivory tower* but a
'neighborhood back fence'," Gordon said.

President Willis returns to the
classroom as teacher
By Chris Fischer
"1 like students in general" was the
response by Dr. Craig Dean Willis, president of LHU, as to why he decided to
return to the classroom. For the first time
since becoming president in 1982, Willis
decided to teach a class this semester.
The class is held on Monday nights, and
is entitled "Speech Communications for
Managers". The class is oriented to speech
commucication and management science
majors. It is a study of situations in which
effective oral communication is vital for
managers who work within the corporate
structure.
Willis decided to teach "Speech Communication for Managers" because he said
he has a "background in administration"
and has "something to offer in that."
According to Willis, it is not too common
for a president of a university to teach a
class, but he likes to teach one class a
semester to keep close to the students.
Half-way through the semester, Wiius
said everything is going "okay" and that he
has "learned alot." Assisting Willis in the
classroom is a student, senior Keith Betts.

So what's your excuse?

It's normal for a student to occasionally
skip a class.
Most of the time, it's due to illness, in
which case the student won't have to worry
about the consequences or embarrassment
of missing a class. But what about those
times when a student oversleeps, loses track
of the time, or just doesn't feel like going to
class?
Several students and faculty members at
Lock Haven University were recently asked
what has been the most interesting or
unusual excuse you have given lately for
lateness or absence?
Laura Bickel gave a common response,
"I was at the infirmary." That may not
seem unusual, but some were quite original.
Freshman Chrissie Bodnar said she once
told her teacher that she missed class
because she spilled spaghetti sauce all over
her paper that was due.
Freshman Ali Aghazadehalavi, however,
managed to top that one. He says, kiddingly, of course, "That teacher just made a
pass at me, so 1 had to let her down easy!"
Sometimes, as we see, a student can think
up anything if the situation calls for it!
Sophmore Jean Newcomer says that she
missed a class because, " I was observing an
elementary class, and the teacher held it
over."
Andy Shearer, a senior, once told his
teacher simply, "1 was stranded in Har-

risburg"
What about teachers? To get the other
side's opinion, some teachers were asked to
tell about some of the most unusual excuses
that they have been given.
Professor Robert Perry told about a girl
who had been taking a shower and was badly burned when the water came on too hot.
This turned out to be a valid excuse, he
said; she was actually injured.
Dr. Howard Congdon told of a student
who overslept because he was working on
the fraternity house until 5:00 a.m.
A favorite excuse of Professor William
Reich's came from a student who said he
overslept and missed class. "However",
says Reich, "the class was at 7:00 p.m."
A few of the professors wished to remain
anonymous, but they told of their favorite
excuses from students such as:
- a student lost his book, and was too embarrassed to come to class. But, I had
found his book, and had it all along,
-a student openly told me that he missed
class because he went to the opening day
game of the Mets' at Shea Stadium,
-another male teacher was very embarrassed
by a female student who used her monthly
cycle as an excuse.
As long as there are teachers at schools,
and students who go to classes, there will
always be a fresh stream of interesting excuses to pass on!

Two legends star in film
By Matt Connor
If you've never had the great pleasure of
seeing that classic motion picture. The
African Queen, and even if you have, do
yourself a favor and go see it in Price
Auditorium this week.
Starring two of the greatest legends of the
silver screen, Humphrey Bogart and
Katherine Hepburn, African Queen is the
story of how two totally different people
fell in love while on a voyage down an East
African river during World War 1.
Released in 1951, The African Queen was
critical and financial smash. It won an
Oscar for Best Actor (Bogart) and nominations for Best Actress (Hepburn), Best
Direction (John Huston) and Best

Screenplay.
For Bogey, it was his third nomination
and the only time he ever won an Oscar for
Kate, it was her sixth of 12 Oscar nominations (four of which she won a record untouched by anyone in film history).
Critics gave the film raves like, "If
nothing else (and there's a great deal more)
African Queen boasts the greatest screen
teaming of the year," and "Bogie and Katie
are sublime... Huston's direction is
marvelous."
They just don't make movies like this one
anymore.
Sponsored by the SCC, The African
Queen will be shown in Price Auditorium
this Saturday and Sunday at 8 p.m.

What's your opinion?
Do you feel crime is a problem at LHU?
photos by Tim Sporcic

Pat Cahill, FR. There is more crime where I
come from than here. 1 consider this
nothing. I haven't seen much crime here.

Two of the silver screen's most famous stars, Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepi»urn, star in the film "The African Queen." The film, first released in 1951, received
raving reviews from the critics and was nominated for three Oscar's. The film will play
in Price Auditorium Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 p.m.

3

Monica Rechel, SO. Yes, I do feel crime is a
problem. There have been many needless
thefts which have taken place on campus.
You should be able to trust your friends
and roommates

Mel Greene, SO. Crime is not really a problem here. I haven't heard of any thefts in
'"V ^all.

Traci Masdon, JR. I have had something
stolen, so I think crime is a problem. It is a
shame when you have to lock your door to
take a shower.

University Players open ''The Last Bouquet" in Sloan Auditorium
\ A new kind of experience for playgoers
to Sloan Theatre will occur in the Lock
Haven University Players presentation of
The Last Bouquet tonight and tomorrow.
The Last Bouquet, written by Dennis
Holt, tells about the refugee underground
movement during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. The story centers upon the
prison cell of one of the leaders of the
refugee movement, Josef Markos (played
by Andy Ashenfeher). Through a series of
flashbacks and dream sequences, the plight
of the revolutionists unfolds.
" T o give a rhythmic motion to the play
we've created new spaces for the actors and
the audience," said John Gordon, set
designer and tecnical director. "The cell
stretches out over the pit all the way to the
first row of seats, and two side platforms
give us new acting areas. We also use the
front of the stage as an acting area."
"The audience sits all around the action
-we use only the first five rows of regular
seats, but we've added tiered seating on the

stage, and we even have seating in what is
usually the pit areas."
Denys Gary, director, said that this style
of production creates several problems.
"We've tried to create one big space,"
said Gary. "The audience sees everything in
the theatre - the platforms, lights, rigging.
We don't use curtains, sets or elaborate
props - just essentials."
"This means we have to depend on acting
and lights to highlight the acting," Gary
said.
He added that the audience is closer to
the action at times than it would normally
be. At other times, the action moves further
from the audience, even to the stairs or
balconies on either side of the theatre.
"This is a serious play," said Gary. "It
has a wide range of theatrical elements
-strongly realistic to highly poetic. The actors must make it clear whether they are acting in the present or in the past as in
flashback scenes, or in the future as in
dream sequences."

Lighting and background music help to
set the scenes, but it is up to the actors to
create the locale.
"This is a lot to ask of college actors,
some of whom are on stage for the first
time," Gary said.
Linda Roethke, in her first year as
costume designer at Lock Haven University, says that she has created authentic
costumesd that capture the flavor of dress
in the late I950's.
"I've used bright colors only occasionally," said Roethke. "But for the most part,
colors are subdued. Where bright colors do
appear, they make a statement about the
character or about the relationship among
characters."
The actors feel that they have grown accustomed to the unusual acting spaces and
continue to work on relating to all areas occupied by the audience. Cast members include Andrew Ashenfelter, a senior Journalism major from Chalfont, who has written, directed and acted in many University

Players productions, Kevin Lafferty,' a
senior Special Education major now
residing in Lock Haven, who acted in productions for three years on the LHU stage,
and William Grieb, a Business Computer
Science major from Mill Hall, who is a
sophomore acting in his second mainstage
play.
Also appearing are Randy Smith, a
junior Speech Communications major,
from Centre Hall, Lori Miller, a freshman
frotp Warren, appearing for the second
time in a major University Players production, and Wayne Harvey, a junior English
major from Cogan Station, who has appeared in many productions.
The presentation also features Sara Patterson, a freshman from Bloomsburg,
whose major is undeclared, Thomas Yost, a
freshman Theatre major, from Lock
Haven, and Cheryl Wisecup, a freshman
majoring in Health, Physical Education
and Recreation.

Spring Sports PreviewsOutlook is very bright for women's softball team
By Scott Crispell
The Lady Eagles softball team of coach
Wayne Allison return 10 lettermen in an attempt to improve on last season's 16-8
finish.
Leading the way will be 1984 Co-MVP's,
Kathy Kreisher and Sandy Staib. Both
Kreisher and Staib will split time between,
the mound and centerfield. Last season,
pitchers Staib and Kreisher had earned run
averages (ERA's) of less than one run per
game.
Senior Bert Rothen and freshman Kim
Hasson will share time behind the plate.
Coach Allison stated, "Bert is playing better now than ever before. She is assuming a
leadership role in the infield and she is a
steady hitter." He added, "Kim Hasson
has good defensive skills and we expect her
to see a lot of action."
At first base, two-time letterman Tina
Martin returns. Coach AlUson had this to
say about Martin, "In 1984, Tina didn't
commit a single error. We expwct her to be a
defenseive stalwart this season."
Also at first base will be freshman, Helen
Fausnaught. Fausnaught has been slowed
by a knee injury but will still see some playing time. According to Allison, "Helen is a
tenacious fielder and an excellent hunter.
We will surprise some people by using
Helen in a pinch-hitting role."
Junior Wendy Heiges has moved from
shortstop to second base to take advantage
of her quickness and strong arm. Coach
Allison stated, "Wendy is an intimidating
player on offense. She will take the extra
base on you. She is very aggressive and
makes things happen."
Freshman Amy stoudt is also expected to
see action at second base.
The third spot belongs to Karen
LaValley. Allison stated, "Karen is a very
heads-up player.- She is like an ^sistant
coach on the field."

Co-MVP pitcher Sandy Staib (left) and catcher Bert Rothen (right) are stand outs for
the women's softball team. Pitcher Staib had an ERA of less than 1 run per game last
year. Catcher Rothen is a leader behind the plate.

Five seniors lead lacrosse squad
By Karen Merlie
Sixth year coach. Rose Ann Neff will
take the Lady Eagles lacrosse team to Shippensburg on April 4th to begin the 1985
season. Last year's team was 5-5 and Neff
hopes to have another .500 season.
According to Neff, this is a young and inexperienced team. "We lost six players to
graduation, and I'm not sure how to predict
this year's season. This team is hardworking and very dedicated," said Neff.
Leading the team of 28 players are five
seniors; co-captain Bonnie Mirecki, Betsy
Shiner, Rhoda Thorn, Lisa Hjttley, and
Dahel Giswold, Cindi Gilmore and Lisa
Mauiott are just some of the underclass
players on the team. These names should be
heard alot throughout the 1985 season.
Lock Haven will meet up with some
powerhouse down the road. In the month
of April they'll play against the top division
III team. Usinius, the third and fourth
ranked clubs, Cortland and Ithaca; and
Westchester. The Lady Eagles have only
beaten Westchester once in the history of
lacrosse at Lock Haven. The team from
Philadelphia is playing in Division I.
Lock Haven will play five of their ten
games at home on McCollum field. The
season will come to a close on May 1st,
when Cortland State comes to meet up with
our Lady Eagles.

Senior Bonnie Lassen will be at shortstop. As coach Allison put it, "Bonnie isn't
a flashy player, but she gets the job done.
Last season, she was one of our leading hitters with a .400 batting average."
Chris Osterhoudt, who was a member of
last year's Pennsylvania high school state
championship team, will back up Lassen at
short.
Jodi Mensch gets the nod in leftfield.
Allison stated,. "Jodi has excellent speed. If
her hitting comes along, she will do okay."
Sandy Staib or Kathy Kreisher will be
patrolling centerfield when they aren't pitching.
Sandy Elstrodt will be starting in
rightfield. Allison said, "Sandy gets a good
jump on the ball. She has good reactions
which make her a sound defensive player."
Deb Bennett has been moved from the infield to rightfield. Allison said the reason
for this was " t o add more depth to the outfield. She has the speed and the arm to play
the position."
Coach Allison has a bright outlook for
the upcoming season. He had this to say,
"So far this season, the team's attitude has
been fantastic. The emphasis has been on
the team, not on individuals.
Allison added, "The girls are very supportive of each other. There is a lot of encouragement. We have a lettermen at
almost every position.
"We should do well. Thi: key is going to
be the success of our pitching. The game of
fast-pitch softball centers on the shoulders
of the pitchers," said Allison.
Allison said, "At the plate, the kids are
very aggressive. To be successful, we will
need a good effort from everyone since we
are facing our toughest schedule ever."
The Lady Eagles open the season at East
Stroudsburg on March 30.

The Lock Haven men's tennis team will
open their 1985 spring season, April l l t h ,
at Millersville. The Eagles will be trying to
break a ten match losing streak. Lock
Haven went 0-10 in the 1984 season.
This year's team is coached by
newcomer, Carol Ritter. Ritter has coached
the Lady Eagles in the fall, and has just
completed her assistant coaching job for
the women's basketball team. Ritter is
looking to have a good season and for the
team to improve over last season's record.

Spring Sports Previews
Baseball team opens in Philly next week
By Dave Walters
Depth, power hitting, and speed are the
Lock Haven University baseball team's key
strengths for this 1985 season according to
head coach Gary Bartley. .
The Bald Eagle diamondmen open their
season a week from tomofrow against Spring Garden College in Philadelphia. The
team will remain in the "City of Brotheriy
Love" until March 30 to face LaSalle,
Philadelphia Textile, and West Chester.
West Chester is their PSAC Northern Division opener.
Coach Bartley is in his third year at the

go along with the returning veterans. The
pitching staff have a few reliable returners
back this year. Junior Carl Goshhorn,
who's fastball has been clocked at 86 mph,
will be handling most of the pitching
chores. Goshorn pitched 35 innings last
season and hurled 24 strikeouts with an
ERA of 6.69. As a designated hitter,
Goshorn batted .392 in 23 games. In the fall
season, Goshorn pitched 27 innings and
walked three while stiking out 29.
Other pitchers will be Tom Sepela (0-3,
10.95 ERA), who has a good split-fingered
fastball. Bob Baker (I-I, 4.80 ERA), who
hurled a no-hitter last year against
Bloomsburg, Phil Masser (l-I, 3.00 ERA),
who will be seen in the late innings as a
reliever and Dave Lloyd (1-2, 3.29 ERA),
who has worked out hard on the weights.
The Eagles fielders are much improved
according to Bartley.
At first base, Jim Gardner is one of the
co-captains this year. Gardner batted .230
last season and only committed two errors.
Goshorn may also see some action here
along with Toby Capparelle.
The second base chores will be handled
by Mike Snyder. Snyder is a sophomore
and will be batting lefty.
Freshman Pat Stasio will be at shortstop
this season. Stasio had to sit out last season

helm, and will be assisted by Ken Fisher and
pitching coach Lefty Lovelace. Bartley is a
graduate of Penn State and was former
centerfielder for the Nittany Lions.
The Bald Eagles finished last season 9-18
overall and 5-9 in the Pennsylvania Conference Northern Division, but five of the
conference losses were by one run.
Bartley said, "We're going to have a
good hitting line up this year. We have improved offensively, and that will be our
strength." "We will b e more mature. Last
year, we paid our dues," said Bartley.
The 1985 squad has a lot of new faces to

Powerlifters capture first

because he is a transfer. "Stasio is the
catalyst of this team. He's just a freshman
but he will make things happen out there
for u s , " said Bartley.
Another freshman will see action for
LHU, but at third base. Tom Church will
be joined by Gardner and Goshorn.
Bartley said, "The outfield will be one of
our strengths." Freshman Randy Hosterman will be in leftfield. Two-time AllConference player Tom Reichenbach will
be in centerfield. Last year, Reichenbach
hit .239, but scored 18 runs and stole 12
bases. In rightfield, John Kampes and
Butch Beidle will be battling for the position.
Behind the plate, the Bald Eagles have
nothing but talent. Freshman George
Goodling and Lou Cesarone will have the
responsibility of handling the pitchers.
Both players come from excellent high
school programs.
"We will have a few good players on the
bench. This is the best hitting ball club I've
been associated with. I think if the students
want to see some good college baseball,
they should come out to Woolrich and see
u s , " Bartley said.
The Bald Eagles home opener is April 3rd
at I p.m. at Woolrich field against LeMoyne.
