Student disinterest kills concert

By Sue Heintzelman
Eagle Eye Features Editor_

Tuesday was a rough day for the Student
Cooperative Council's (SCC) social committee as their two headlining acts of the semester were canceled.
Deliberations by the Steve Bennett, chair
of the social committee, members of the
social committee and advisors to the committee led to the decision to cancel the Arrested Development show. In the meantime, John Stewart, the MTV comedian
scheduled to appear May 1, canceled his
show.
Arrested Development was canceled "be-

cause of poor tickets sales," according to
Bennett. "There were less than 200 tickets
sold by 2 p.m. on Tuesday," he said.
As of Thursday evening, the contract,
concerning how much of the original value
must be paid, was still being negotiated by
Dr. Joseph Marron, the acting director of
student activities.
Bennett said the social committee worked
hard to arrange and develop the concert.
"It's extremely surprising the tickets didn't
sell and I don't think anyone on this campus
didn't know they were coming," said Bennett, who could not pinp)oint specific reasons why the concert did not attract student interest. "We thought it was a good

Stewart.
The social committee has hired another
MTV act. Red Johnny and the Round Guy,
to perform in Stewart's place.
Students who purchased Arrested Development tickets can redeem them at their
place of purchase. The band will be appearing at the Penn State Regatta on Sunday, but tickets for the show must be purchased there.
Keith Balliet, corresponding secretary
for the SCC and a member of the Social
Committee was disappointed in the sales
and blamed it on "activity apathy." Low
attendance to activites this year was typical, Balleit said, adding that "The end of
the year reflects the whole year."

choice going into it."
In order to pick the band, the social committee sent out surveys inquiring about
bands students were interested in. After
compiling a list, the committee narrowed
the selection to 25 bands. Members of the
social committee solicited student input before deciding on the final band. The SCC
had bids on the Gin Blossoms and the Lemon Heads, but could not get the bands.
John Stewart also canceled because of the
schedule for the movie he is filming.
Filming for the California-based movie has
run over and will not be completed until

Speaker discusses ^student image ^
by Jennifer Bowes
Eagle Eye News Editor_
Dr. Simon J. Bronner, distinguished professor of American studies and folklore at
the Pennsylvania State University at Harrisburg, pleased the audience with his rendition of "The Student's Image" at the Academic Honors and Foundation Awards
Convocation held Sunday, April 17 in
Price Performance Center.
Bronner began by discussing the romantic image college students have of the town
they attend school in. He said he was glad
to have the opportunity to come to Lock
Haven, which he called "one of the most
picturesque and interesting places in
America."
"The achievement you have gained is
something to be praised and admired," said
Bronner of the students receiving awards.
He explained that this is a time of "intense
thought" in a student's life and also one of
"academic loathing, apprehension and
fear."
Bronner told of a colleague who feels
"the atmosphere [of a college] is created
by the past," and ideas are passed on. He
then went on to share some of the college
folklore he has heard.
He told of a professor he heard graded
paper's by throwing them down a set of

stairs. The paper which reached the bottom first would receive the highest grade.
Bronner said that college has become a
"more complex and bureaucratic place."
He shared the story of a country student
who was talking with his father and a
neighbor one day. The student was majoring in Algebra, so his father told him to
share some of his knowledge with the
neighbor.
"Pi r squared," said the student. His father corrected him. No, "pie are round,
cornbread are square," said Bronner.
Bronner discussed philosophies which
never seem to fail a student. Eighty percent of a final will contain information
given on the day you missed, he said.
If it is a take-home exam, you will forget
where you live and if it is an open-book
exam, you will forget the book, he added.
Bronner spoke of the "nurture and passage" a college community can provide.
Some students are still wandering, but the
"inner-drive and motivation [is] here," he
said. Students can be "benefitted by mentors [who] foster good ideas in a profound
way," said Bronner.
"Students are fearful of commitment,"
said Bronner. They seek it, but do not
know where to find it, he said.
The student image is "highly variable"
and "contradictory," he added.
Bronner compared the images of college

April 19 - A student reported her car
stolen (see description of car in ad below). The car was reported stolen at 9:05
p.m. The student parked the car in front
of Raub Hall at 5:50 p.m., and when she
returned at 8:30 p.m. it was missing. The
vehicle was entered into the National
Crime Information Center (NCIC), and a
bulletin about the stolen car was put out
throughout the state.
April 19 - A student reported a calculator and book stolen from his bookbag,
which he had placed in the hallway outside the entrance of the bookstore in the
PUB. When he returned about two hours
later, he found the items missing. Estimated value of the items is $38.
April 19 - Law Enforcement is currently investigating the theft of a MAC card,
which was used at the ATM at the PUB.
There is a suspect in the case, and Law
Enforcement is waiting for information
from the bank on the amount taken.
April 16 - Officers received a call
about a person passed out in one of the
residence halls. When the officers arrived, the paramedics were summoned.
The person was taken to Lock Haven
Hospital for observation, was admitted
and released the next day. The person
will probably be cited for underage drinking or public intoxication.
April 15 - A secretary in Raub Hall reported the phone lines were cut inside the
mens' restroom, where the phone line
panel is located. The lines were repaired
by Bell Telephone. Estimated damage is
$200.

Certain majors
especially popular
by Vincent Miller
Eagle Eye News Reporter
Elementary education, health science, and
biology are the majors that have grown the
most in the last ten years, making it difficult
to place interested students into the programs.
Controlling the incoming freshmen is the
best way to accommodate all those students
who want to enter into these majors, Pursell
said.
: Of these three majors, the one growing
fastest in popularity is health science. Nationally, health science is big right now,
Pursell said. There is a lot of money available in that field, she said.
Health and physical education were quite
popular at the University in the early '80s.
When the health science major was introduced in 1985, it took over in popularity.
Biology is also popular at the University.
One interesting aspect of biology is that
many of the classes which are required for
students are many of the same classes that
are required for health science majors.
Elementary education is another major
that is known to have a good program at
the University, Pursell said. In the job
market, however, there are few jobs offered in this field, and that is a big problem
right now, she said.
"It is our hope to balance student demand
for courses with our ability to offer sufficient numbers of seats to meet that demand," Pursell said. "We work very hard
at that."

The administration and faculty were informed Tuesday at University
President Craig Dean Willis' open forum in Sloan Auditorium that a
compressed academic schedule should be ready for the upcoming fall
semester.
"The compressed schedule will help preserve the continuity of classes," Willis told a small audience al the spring semester open forum.
Dr. Mary Pursell, vice president of academic affairs, has been working on the compressed schedule for next year. A compressed academic schedule allows for bad weather during the winter months. During
this semester, classes had to be canceled six times due to winter snow
storms.
In his talk, Willis explained that the Gender Equity Plan is progressing along and should be implemented by the fall semester. He also said
that the laws concerning sexual harassment change constantly and the
delays will mean a legally correct policy.
University admissions are right on target, said Willis. He reported
that the admission of transfer students has decreased. Willis attributed
this decrease to the increase in out-of-state tuition fees.
He also referred to the required grade point averages in two areas of
study at the University. Averages of 2.5 and 3.0 are required in the education and health science majors, respectively.
The announcement was made to interview for the position of a grants
officer, Willis said. This person would be in charge of securing grants
for the University. The University "was ready to take that step," Willis
said.
At the forum, congratulations were extended to Dr. William Irwin,
the director of financial aid. Irwin was elected head of financial aid directors in the country. He was chosen for the position over all the college and university financial aid directors in the nation.
The final topic addressed at the forum was the matter of University- University President Craig Dean Willis addressed

Registering problems not uncommon
by Dustin Miller
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
Students who are having trouble registering may feel as if they are the only ones doing so. Others trying to register, however,
are having some of the same problems.
Many students have been cut off in the
middle of their Tel-R registration, according to Dr. James K. Smalley, associate dean
of academic administration.
When students schedule, they are allowed
a maximum of ten transactions. The problem occurred during the past two Saturdays
when one student would call, make seven
transactions, and then hang up. The next
student in line would get disconnected before he or she got to his or her fourth transaction.
The problem should be corrected for the
final registration period tomorrow, Smalley
said.
If there is a problem, the only thing the
student can do is call back and try again.
Approximately 1,900 students have registered for the fall semester, and 900 more are
expected to register tomorrow.
Another problem students are having is
not being able to get through in a short
amount of time.

The student must be patient and keep trying if they get a busy signal, Smalley said.
It's basically a "luck of the draw," depending on when one student hangs up and another student gets through, he said.
Although the University has only 16 lines,
Penn State University has a more difficult
situation. Penn State also has 16 lines and
about ten times the enrollment of Lock
Haven.
Imagine waking up on a registration day
and having to compete with about 5,000
other students to get the classes you want
with only 16 lines available.
This is the third year in which the University has used Tel-R. Things have been
working out rather well, Smalley said.
For years, the University held registration
in Thomas Field House. Students went to
different tables to register for certain classes. This caused problems for many freshmen because when it was their turn, most of
the courses they wished to take were already filled.
Nearly four years ago, the University
changed to phone registration. Students
called in and talked to live operators who
punched the students' schedules into a computer.
One year later, Tel-R was brought in, and
everything has been running relatively

smoothly ever since, said Smalley.
Tomorrow is the final Saturday of the
registering period. Students with 15 to zero
credits will register at their respective
scheduling times.
Although tomorrow is the last registration
day, students may add or make changes in
their schedules until 4 p.m. on August 25.
Those students who have not yet registered shouldn't feel their chance of getting
the classes they want is slim to none. There
are approximately 60 sections which are
closed, but of those 60, most of the classes
are those restricted for majors or high number classes, said Smalley.
Also, there are still transfer students and
new freshmen vyho have to register. This
includes about 1,000 students, but their
schedules are made up after everyone else
has been given a chance to register.

Cause of illnesses
investigated
(CLARION) - Possible cases of food
poisoning may have resulted from meals
served at the University's Women's Conference on March 25 and 26.
It has not yet been determined that food
poisoning is the cause of illness for an estimated 18 persons. None of the cases
have yet been confirmed.
University spokesman Ron Wilshire
said the investigation into the incident is
at a standstill, but that the university suspects the illnesses were caused by a strain
of flu.
However, according to Marc Dorman,
District Epidemiologist for the Pennsyl
vania Department of Health, "The possi
bility of food p)oisoning has not been
ruled out. We will conduct a food survey
to see who ate what food, who didn't eat
anything, who got sick and who didn't.'
Dorman said the department will then
try to statistically implicate one specific
food from the menu.
Amy Rarick, a conference participant
said that during treatment after the conference. Clarion Hospital personnel said
that there was a possibility her illness
could be traced back to food.
Rarick was hospitalized for three days
for severe illness and possible dehydration.

Re-entry program
causes concerns
(MILLERSVILLE) - Students who left
Millersville University because of poor
grades may be able to return through a reentry program designed to help students
get back on the right track.
The program. Academic Amnesty, is a
proposal the Faculty Senate was set to
vote on Tuesday.
Presented by Dr. Richard Clark, chairman of the Faculty Senate Academic Policies Committee, the policy would offer
students who had left Millersville Univer
sity due to poor grades to petition for amnesty of the QPA.
If given by the Academic Amnesty
Committee, amnesty would treat the stu
dent's credits as transfer credits. The
grades would be recorded in the transcript,
but the previous QPA would not apply to
the current grades.
"We were asked to look into an academic forgiveness policy by Dr. [James] Stag
ers [associate provost]," Clark said, "The
policies committee discussed it and felt it
was possible to give a student amnesty."
During the heated debate on March 15,
faculty senators expressed concerns about
changing the transcripts and its legality.
"Records are not metaphysical entities.
There is nothing wrong if changed in the
proper way," said Dr. D.A. Zegers, senator.

Next week is "Math Awareness Week,"
and this provides the jjerfect opportunity
for interested people to join the math club.
Members of the math club will be holding various events in the UfKoming days,
during which the theme for the week will
be "Mathematics in Medicine." On Monday, April 25, Dr. George Rosenstein,
from Franklin and Marshall College, will
talk to the group about "How Noneuclidean Geometry was Almost Discovered."
There are many different types of geometry, and euclidean geometry is the type
that is used by students at the University,
according to Michelle Wensel, the vice
president of the club.
Rosenstein's talk will focus on the different types of geometry and how they were
almost used instead of euclidean geometry, she said. The talk will be held at 4:30
p.m. in Robinson 408.

The club is sponsoring an open forum with
faculty members on Tuesday, April 26, at
3:30 p.m. in Robinson 408.
Every six to eight weeks, the math club
gets together with faculty members in the
math department to discuss such matters as
problems they may be having with their
classes or the math classes that are being offered at the University, Wensel said. The
open forum on Tuesday will provide students with another opportunity to discuss
their ideas with the faculty in the department.
The open forums with faculty members
have been beneficial to club members because they enable students to get feedback
from their teachers, Wensel said.
The math club, which usually holds its
meetings on the third Tuesday or Thursday
of every month, will have a meeting on
Thursday, April 28, at 7 p.m. in Robinson
409. The club will elect officers for next
semester at the meeting.
Many people are under the impression that

semester, he said.
"It really expanded in the last two-and-a

Come on out and drink for free! Volunteer drinkers are needed for a standardized field sobriety test, which will be part
of a training course for area police officers.
The course, hosted by the city police,
will be held at the Days Inn on June 710.
The test is the same one given to people
when they are stopped for drunk driving,
said Tom Winters of the city police. Officers attending the course will practice
giving the test to the volunteers, he said.
Volunteers, who must be 21, are needed
for June 8th and 9th. Those volunteering
will be asked to drink enough to reach a
blood alcohol content (BAC) of .14 percent and may only volunteer for one of
the two days, according to Winters.
Interested students will need to fill out a
volunteer application, which can be
picked up at Law Enforcement. The applications will be reviewed, and volun
teers will be accepted if they have no
problems which would prevent them from
drinking.
Applications must be filled out and returned to him by the end of the month.
Winters said.
Volunteers should be prepared to sf)end
most of the day at the testing site. They
will need to be at the Days Inn from approximately 8:30 a.m. until near 5 p.m.,
according to Winters.
At least ten volunteers are needed for
each of the two days, he said. Students
who do not wish to drink but would like
to volunteer their time may help with
those who are drinking, Winters said.
These students must also be 21.
The volunteers, who may be male or female, will be given breathalizer tests as
part of the testing situation. Winters said.

not going to do anything to improve it.
Apathy has always been a problem at Lock Haven.
Its a problem that every student government and organization has had to deal with.
This semester, things are much, much worse.
Arrested Development was canceled because less
than 200 of the 1500 tickets were sold.
Of the six Student Cooperative Council executive
positions open during the latest elections, only one
was contested.
The student trustee position still isn't filled, although a few people are finally interested.
Tilings have been bad all semester. Attendance at
almost all campus events has been down. People just
don't care anymore.
But they sure know how to complain.
People on this campus bitch about everything.
They say the SCC is useless, that they don't do anything. They say hall councils are a waste of time.
They say a lot of things. But they don't do anything.
Why? People say that they don't have the time,
that they don't want to get involved. The truth is,
they're too lazy to care.
There are people on this campus who work exceptionally hard to keep things going. I've worked with
them, and I'm proud to know them. But after seeing
the dismal turnout for the SCC elections, after seeing
the almost nonexistent ticket sales, you've got to
wonder why they even bother. Who needs this aggravation? Who needs this extra work?
It's time for students on this campus to do more
than sleep through class during the week and kick
kegs on the weekend. It's time for people to start
giving a damn, because that's the only way that
things are going to change.

The multicultural myth at LHU
To the editor,
1 want to begin this letter by
saying that whenever an article is
written in reference to AfricanAmericans it is always tempered
in some way, shape or form with
political correctness.
What 1 am going to do is shoot
straight from the hip, so to speak,
and tell you how it really is from
my experiences as well as other
African-American students' dilemmas, concerns and experiences
here at this fine institution of higher learning.
With racial tensions mounting
around the world between blacks
and whites across the nation, it
seems as though serious efforts
would be made through education
to eradicate the ignorance that separates us from coming to understand and be able to relate to one
another. Unfortunately, that's not
the case here at Lxick Haven University.
All you have to do is look at
what is happening around you. As
far as I'm concerned, if education
is the key for us to understand one
another. Lock Haven University
makes every effort to prevent people of different races from growing to reach that goal.
For instance, how can a professor teach students to communicate
with African-Americans, when
more than half of them can't even
do it themselves, and a large percentage of the students who gradu-

^^Take Back the Nighf^ rally held...

Survivors of rape and incest break the silence
by Mary Jo Hatala
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
The Clinton County Women's Center,
along with the Rape Task Force and Dr.
Karen Elias, assistant professor in the college of arts and sciences, organized this
year's "Take Back the Night" event, which
was held on the evening of Thursday, April
14.
The program was designed to break the
silence surrounding rape and incest. The
night's events included marches through
town, presentations from rape and incest
survivors, and a candlelight ceremony.
Three routes formed the march around
town. The first departed from the Courthouse Annex, the second from Dunkin' Donuts on Bellefonte Avenue, and the third
from Ulmer Hall. The three groups converged in front of Ulmer Hall and moved
into Thomas Fieldhouse for the speakers'
presentations.
Leslie Miller, director Of the Clinton
County Women's Center, welcomed the
participants and introduced the keynote
speaker, Beth Resko, who spoke about
breaking the silence.
Survivors of rape and incest spoke of
their experiences, their abusers, their anger,
and their pain.
."1 was always one of those people who

thought you got raped by strangers hiding
behind a bush. But the person who raped
me was my spouse," said one survivor.
"My choice was to leave, and 1 chose not
to be victimized anymore."

"One of the worst things is, some people
don't believe you," said another survivor.
Why would anybody make up something
like this and go through something like
this?"

"It is a secret that is hard to speak, even to
people I know will believe me," yet another survivor said.
After the scheduled survivors spoke,
members of the audience were encouraged
to also come forward and speak. Several
people, with the support of friends, rose to
the microphone to speak.
Musical selections, including "Sweet
Survivor" and "Will the Circle be Unbroken?" were performed by Phil Reeder and
Craig Bowman. Poetry was also read, and
folk singer Martha Leader sang "Fight
Back", encouraging the audience to sing the
phrases, "Fight back in large numbers/
Fight back/ I can't make it alone/ Fight
back in large numbers/ Together we can
make a safe home."
Participants then met outside for the
lighting of candles in a closing ceremony.
Karen Elias asked for a moment of silence
"for the courage of those who spoke, and
also for those who didn't." The circle sang,
"We are a gentle, angry people, and we are
singing for our lives," to end the evening.
"The whole point of this is breaking the
silence," said Miller. "Sexual assault is a
crime where sex is the weapon. Silence is
the second weapon."
Any students who have been raped or
molested, or who know anyone who has
been raped or molested, are encouraged to

Used books help area
women return to school
For 25 years the Lock Haven Branch of the American
Association of University Women (AAUW) has provided scholarships for Clinton County Women who are returning to school for a four year degree of (wst-graduate
studies. For 25 years the money to do this has come
from the proceeds of the annual used book sale.
This year's sale will be held at the Covenant United
Methodist Church on Main Street in Lock Haven from 9
a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, April 22 and from 9 a.m. to 1
p.m. on Saturday, April 23.
The community gets a triple benefit from the project.
Many books that would be left drying in the attic or be
thrown on the heap get a chance to inform, entertain or
touch someone new. That is recycling at its best with an
extra bonus.
There will be a large display of tables covered with
books at the sale. Hundreds of paperback novels can be
purchased for a quarter. Coffee table editions of art and
poetry, textbooks, foreign language, old craft magazines,
old etiquette books that predate the women's movement,
almost new best sellers, books on religion and children's
books will also be available at the sale.
The books are priced to sell, and there will be special
bulk rates at the end of the sale for those books that remain.

Religion, cult differences explained
by JVIichael Spinks
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
"It's one of my favorite subjects," said
Dr. Roosevelt Green, referring to a discussion on religions and cults, "and one not
very many people want to listen to."
Green, professor of sociology, spoke April
12 to a crowd of approximately 30 people
in the High Hall television lounge.
Green discussed what he called the five
basic institutions—family, education, economics, politics, and religion. These five
institutions "are in constant interaction," he
said. "You cannot understand religion if
you do not understand [the institutions]."
Green then moved on to discuss the four
major aspects of all religions: belief, ritual,
unique experience or conversion, and community of the faith.
All religions have two main functions.
The first is to give meaning to one's life,
and the second is to provide a sense of belonging.
Green then proceeded to speak about various religions and cults in detail.
"Christian Scientists" were founded by a
Mary Barker Eddy, a female faith-healer
who was healed one day as if by an act of
God. "A major theme is spiritual, or what
some would call faith-healing," said Green.
Most of her followers are middle class
women , though the numbers are dropping
from 250,000 to around 150,000 members.
The Amish, a group that is familiar to
many Pennsylvanians, has remained unchanged for over 250 years. The Amish
settled in Pennsylvania in 1727 from Switzerland and Germany after a conflict arose
in,Europe. The Amish consider pride a
major sin.
The Amish are known as a 'mine-shaft'

community, "a small group that has a high
regard for each other." English is a second
language for the Amish. Their chief language is known as Pennsylvania Dutch. In
the Amish community the adolescents still
rebel against their religion and the community "makes certain considerations" for
them.
A man named John Noise created a communist community that lasted over 50 years
in this country. "The idea is that as a communist you can reach perfection," said
Green. In Noise's society "all the children
belonged to the community, all the women
belonged to all the men and vice versa."
Green also discussed the Father Divine
Movement. Father Divine believed that he
was the embodiment of God. Once, while
Father Divine was in prison, his seemingly
healthy judge died. Father Divine took
credit for the judge's death, which
strengthened his following.
Father Divine "had a fascination with
food," and his 'Heavens'—his churchesprovided free food to his followers. "Disadvantaged blacks and whites flocked to his
church," said Green.
Father Divine's
church still runs today, after his death, in
the care of his wife, Mother Divine.
The Mormons, the sixth largest church
with 4.5 million members, put a great emphasis on "one's family life and education."
They also have missionary duties, and do
not smoke or drink alcohol of any kind.
Besides being among the largest, the
Mormons are also the wealthiest. The
church has an income of $12.8 million daily
and has investments of over $10 billion.
Green also discussed his first encounter
with a cult leader—Daddy Grace. Daddy
Grace was a traveling evangelist who
moved throughout the South collecting

money for his preaching. "It disturbed
me," said Green.
Green said cults differ from religions because they are controlled by a leader and
"the leader personifies the entire group."
At the conclusion of the talk, Green
shocked a number of people by announcing that he is an ordained Baptist minister.
He also added, "[I] read my way out of institutional church."
"It was very interesting," said Sue Skinner, a freshman from High Hall, "I understand now what a cult is."

Duo makes musical
Donna Crawford
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Thursday evening, heads and toes were
keeping time to the Gene Bertoncini Duo
"music with a twist," while the two deftly
combined different composers' works into
one song.
The duo, Bertoncini playing jazz guitar
and Michael Moore playing an upright
bass, has been together for so long, they
can hardly remember how long (approximately 20 years). Along with their sense

of humor, the large repertoire carries them
improvising through the evening.
"They performed "How Are Things In
Gloccamora" from Finnian's Rainbow,
"Embraceable You," "It Had To Be You ."
Usually they added that little twist or surprise such as when they played Chopin's
"Prelude" in E minor - they switched
keys midway into the song and transformed it into a bosa nova.
They also performed an original Irish
composition, "Lilter," by Moore in C minor. It gave one a sense that they were
talking to each other — the upright bass

twists

telling a story and the guitar filling in the
background. This selection was played in a
bop style.
Bertoncini and Moore concluded the program by performing a Spanish influenced
selection, "Concerto," with
the Lock
Haven Community Pops Orchestra. This
arrangement was written for Bertoncini by
Michael Patterson, a former student in the
Eastman School of Music's summer Comf)Oser-Arranger Program, where the two performers teach every summer.

Eagle Eye Music Critic
The recent wave of alternative music has
sent the music industry into a manic frenzy,
not knowing who to sign or what style will
be the next big thing. This rush is finally
getting some of the great underground bands
major label record deals. One of these bands
that has finally received a major label deal
is My Dying Bride.
Until now, the only way to get material
from My Dying Bride was through imports,
which get quite expensive, but lucky for us,
you can now get them at the regular price
with the release of their American debut album. Turn Loose The Swans (Futurist /
Peaceville Records).
My Dying Bride has an extremely unique
sound, combining the elements of classical
music with gothic and death metal, making
a style of music that you really can't deffine.
Imagine throwing Black Sabbath, Sisters Of
Mercy, Cathedral, Type O Negative, Morbid
Angel and Vivaldi all in a blender on puree,
and you might come close to what thisttand
sounds like.
The singer has three different voices. His
normal singing voice is very good. For the
slower parts he gets into a gothic-style
voice, and for the harder parts he uses more
of a death metal voice. My Dying Bride also
has a violinist in the band, which is rarely
seen in rock music, especially on the harder
side.
The first song, "Sear Me MCMXCIII," is
a mellow piece with only piano and some
background keyboard effects, as the vocalist kind of sings / speaks the poetic lyrics.
"Your River" begins with a nice, mellow
guitar introduction but gradually gets very
heavy. "The Crown Of Sympathy" is a
twelve-minute epic which progresses
through their various influences. The title
track is very reminiscent of older Cathedral.
The songs on this album are quite long,
averaging about eight or nine minutes a
song. I think this is the most difficult album I've ever had to review. It's just so different from anything else out there. It's
really something you have to experience and
listen to for yourself to make your own
judgment.
So take that little bit of money left over
from Easter and head down to your nearest
record store, or if you're broke (join the
club), request it on the campus radio station
and give yourself the experience of some
very interesting and highly entertaining music.
Well, 1 hope 1 did some justice to this album; 1 really had no idea an album could be
this hard to write about. My musical tastes
are just all over the "musical map." Next
week I'll review something less difficult, but
you're guaranteed it will be different than
just about anything else out there.

Eagles find their bats as...

Brandt catches fire in 19-3 rout of Indians
by Amy Coles
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
What the Eagles couldn't accomplish in
the first two months of the season, they
were able to do in just two innings last Saturday, as they began conference play
against lUP.
By the beginning of the week, however,
reality, had found its way back into the Eagles dugout, just in time for a conference
doubleheader against Edinboro.
With explosive offense and consistent defense, two things lacking in the first half of
the season, the Eagles scored a bunch of
runs in the first two innings on Saturday,
en route to a 19-3 spanking of the Indians.
Jess Brandt came out of her recent slump

Softball
and went 2 for 4 on the day, with a home
run, a double, and five RBIs.
Freshman Robin Kumpaitis continued to
wreck havoc for opposing teams with her
bat. She also went 2 for 4 and sent one out
of the park. In fact, most of the Eagles
had impressive numbers at the plate in the
first game. Pitchers Eileen Morse and Jen
Geary both went 2 for 2, and catcher Amy
Harris went 2 for 3.
Unfortunately for the Indians, the rout
was just beginning. In the second game of
the day, Brandt and Kumpaitis each homered for a second time.
In addition to the home run, Brandt's two
doubles in the second game brought her total RBI count for the day to eight.

Most encouraging for head coach Kim
Lindsey, however, was the solid defense.
The team committed five errors on the day,
but all were attributed to second string
players whom Lindsey put in when the
scores started to soar.
"We hit well and we pitched well," said
Lindsey. "We didn't have the mental errors.
That's where we were beating ourselves before."
As it turned out it would make a difference afterward, too.
Lindsey's excitement over her team's
success quickly changed to disappointment
on Tuesday, when the Eagles could only
manage a split with conference rival Edinboro.
The Eagles pulled off a 2-1 win in the
first game, thanks to Morse. She pitched
brilliant softball, holding the Scots to only

four hits, while striking out sev,en and
walking only two.
"We played enough to win; we didn't play
to win, " said Lindsey. "If we had played
to win, we would have killed them. We
just sat on the two runs we had. It was
really luck." The team's luck, however, ran
out in the second game, as Edinboro
crushed LHU 11-1.
The reason for the loss was the same as
it has been for the better part of the season-errors. The Eagles committed six in the
game, and countered with only eight hits.
"After the first inning, we totally went
flat," said Lindsey. "The team was not
ready to play the second game."
Hopefully, the Eagles will be ready to
play on Saturday, when they hit the road to
play two conference games against Clarion
at 1 p.m.

Sluggers move into second place...

Haven sweeps lUP, awaits showdown with Edinboro
by Clint Often
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter
The Bald Eagles baseball team not only
survived its five-day, eight-game weekend,
it thrived and now stands prepared to challenge for a state playoff berth come next
month.
On the heels of its 5-3 weekend (all
against conference opponents), the Eagles
(12-13 overall) are currently in second
place to Edinboro in the PSAC's tightlypacked Western Division.
The weekend got off to a less-thanfavorable start, as the Eagles dropped a
pair of games to the first-place Fighting
Scots, 14-9 and 3-1.
However, the early setbacks would not
diffuse the Lock Haven bomb that would
explode in the next six games.
On Sunday, the Eagles split with California at Cal.
This split allowed the Eagles to remain in
contention with Edinboro, Indiana, and Cal
for one of the two spots allotted to the
western division in the PSAC tournament

Baseball
that will be held in Williamsport on May
13-14.
The Eagles won the opener 7-5 on Jason
Heidel's second relief win of the year, before dropping the nightcap 18-3.
The 18-3 whitewash wasn't on the Eagles'
minds the next day, as they swept a pair at
Clarion.
Erik Steinbacher earned his first victory
of the year on the mound in the opener, as
the Eagles edged out an 8-5 win.
Sophomore righthander Brian Hoffman
picked up the win in relief in the second
game, as the birds broomed Clarion, 15-9.
The next day saw the Birds host Indiana
at Mill Hall, and the Haven boys proved to
be too much for the Indians to handle as
they swept the doubleheader by scores of
3-1 and 5-3.
Karl Raffin upped his record to 4-1 with a
win in the first game. Raffin leads the team
in starts (7), complete games (4), shutouts
(1), innings pitched (39.2), strikeouts (41),
and walk to strikeout ratio (1:2).

Jason Heidel won his third game out of
the bullpen in the closing game, and the
Birds took the game as well.
The Eagles are now 8-4 in PSAC Western
Division games, which places them just
behihd Edinboro, who is 8-2.
Cal is next with a 5-5 record in conference, and Indiana is next with a 6-6 mark.
In the conference statistical race, the Eagles stand fourth in the west in batting after
eight games with a .276 team batting average.
They also stand fourth in home runs and
scoring, with nine dingers and 5.5 runs per
game.
Defensively, the Birds aren't quite where
they want to be, as they rank last in team
ERA (7.20) and fielding percentage (.923).
Heath "Smokey" Stover is wielding one
of the hot bats on the team, with a .344 average, 22 hits, and 15 RBIs.
Joining Stover, Dan Filing, Mike Allen,
and Tom Detwiler in the .300 club this
week was sophomore infielder John "Pilsey" Pitrilyak.
,

Pilrilyak is batting .301 with three stolen
bases and nine RBIs, and is the only member of the team to play in every game so
far.
Heidel is batting .299 in 77 at-bats with a
team-leading 4 home runs and 22 RBIs.
He also leads the team in hits (23),'doubles (4), and slugging percentage (.532).
His home run ratio is .20 per game, which
is good for fifth in the entire conference.
On the mound, the Eagles are led by Heidel's 3-0 record and 0.00 ERA in 10.1 innings.
Next is Raffin with his 4-1 mark and 2.95
ERA, and Brian Hoffman and his 2-3
record.
The Eagles will have a chance to avenge
their pair of losses against Edinboro earlier
in the season tomorrow as they travel to
meet the Fighting Scots for a 1 p.m. doubleheader.
The Eagles will return home to play

Ruggers prep for Media Tourney...

Haven shuts out longtime nemesis, East Stroudsburg, 28-0
by Kevin Pallis
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Who ever it was that said rugby is a gentleman's game, has never attended a game
between East Stroudsburg and LHU.
Games between these two teams are comparable to gladotorial struggles for survival
and are trademarked by a high body count.
Last weekend's game was no exception.
In the club's seven years of existence,
the Haven has never beaten an East Stroudsburg A-side. Last Saturday the Haven boys
saw an opportunity to make history and
they grabbed it.
ESU has long been the Haven's nemesis
and they came into Saturday's game as the
only team to have beaten the Haven this
year.
The game opened in typical fashion. Just
minutes after the opening kickoff, Chris
Rogers was forced to leave the field with a
broken rib. Steve Paget came in to replace
the injured Rogers.
The loss of Rogers fueled the Haven pack
as they began to abuse East Stroudsburg's
pack. The Haven forwards ruled the scrumdowns as ESU's pack crumbled before
them.
Tht rucks and mauls held similar misfortune, for the East Stoudsburg ruggers as

Men's Rugby
those who were foolish enough to enter
them were blown off of the ball.
The strong forward play gave the Haven's
back line plenty of opportunity to run the
ball.
Brian "Old Crow" Willard ran like a man
possessed, playing fly half for the first time.
Willard adjusted well and gave the Haven
boys some offensive fire power.
Jeff "Banzi" Banko also played a sensational game as he gave the Haven an early
5-0 lead scoring from seven meters out.
Banko comes into the season a rookie, but
plays like a veteran. His scoring run enabled him to join the hallowed ranks of the
mystical Zulu warrior tribe.
Tough games were also recorded by
Adam Gifford, Johnny Morgan and Bill
Baron.
The Haven's next score was set up by a
run by flanker Kevin Pallis. Pallis was
stopped two yards shy of a score and forced
ESU into a goaline lineout.
Mike Richino picked off the tipped ball
and dove in for the score, giving the Haven
a 10-0 halftime lead.
The second half opened with a Haven
penalty kick. Despite the gail-force winds.

Mike Paget was able to nail the kick and
give the Haven a 13-0 lead.
The tenacious Haven pack kept ESU
pinned in their own zone and set up three
more scores.
"Rhymin" Simon Keays scored off of an
eight-man pick up . Keays's ten-yard run
built the Haven's lead to 18-0 and earned
him the right to join his teammate in the
coveted Zulu warrior ritual.
Hard running by the Haven's back line
gave Mike Paget the ball on the 20-meter
line with only one man to beat. Paget
chose to run over ESU's fullback enroute to
a score. This raised the score to 23-0.
Keays struck for the second time, scoring
off of a lineout on East Stroudsburg's five
meter line. His score was set up by Richino
and Pallis as they blocked two ESU attempts to clear the ball.
Keays's second try ended the scoring and
gave the Haven a 28-0 final score.
This game marked the first time ever that
a Haven squad was able to beat Stroudsburg's A-side. The victory was a total team
effort as the backs and forwards both played
well off of each other.
The victory was a sweet one for the
Haven, but like all things it came at a
price. In addition to Rogers's injury, three
other Haven players received parting gifts

from Saturday's game.
Gifford suffered a slight concussion, but
was given a clean bill of health for this
weekend.
Two Haven rookies went down in the
days most tragic event. During the B-game
fullback Chris Blake and winger Bill Baron
collided after a miscommunication.
Baron received 15 stitches, but will most
likely play this weekend. Blake, while receiving only five stitches, also strained
muscles in his neck and will not be able to
play this weekend.
The B-game was called short and ended
in 5-0 ESU victory.
This weekend the Haven boys face their
toughest test yet. They will be traveling to
Media, Pa. to compete in a six team rugby
extravaganza.
Last spring the Haven boys had a good
showing taking third place after losing to
the eventuall tournament champions. Temple Med., by a point.
This time the Haven boys are taking a
skeleton crew because the team is riddled
with injuries. If the team plays as tough as
they did last weekend they could possibly
sneak into the winner's circle, but as it
stands now, the Haven will be a dark horse
for the championship.

dominance over opposing goalies as the Ea- get a win."
The game saw Robin Martin play her
gles gear up for an all-important confernce
best game of the season , as she stopped 15
play this week.
Lock Haven ended last week on a high
note by traveling to Susquehanna and
thumping them 18-4. Senior Deidre Kipp
led all LHU scorers with six goals.
Classmate Jen Stewart aided the Eagle's
efforts with three goals. Liz Heit and Anne
Whitlock chipped in two goals a piece in
the victory.
Two days later, Lock Haven returned
home to face undefeated William Smith
College. The Eagles battled with William
Smith all the way before finally dropping a
16-12 decision.
Kipp again spurred the offensive attack
pouring in four goals. Stewart, Jen Uter,
and Heit all had two goals in defeat.
The road did not get any easier for LHU
as they had to travel to Ithaca, another Division II powerhouse, the very next day.
Again LHU proved they were up for the
challenge, but in the end the Eagles came
up short, losing 15-12.
Kipp, again, was the story in this game
as she scored seven goals and two assists.

Eagles soar at Lehigh Valley Games
by Aaron Russell
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
School records continued to fall this
week as the men's and women's track teams
competed in the Lehigh Valley Games at
Kutztown University last weekend.
For the second consecutive week Jason
DeVallance shattered the school record in
the javelin. His throw of 211'-4" eclipsed
the mark he established last week by four
feet.
DeVallance, who threw over 22 feet
further than his nearest competitor, won the
event easily. He currently leads the PSAC
standings in the javelin, and is strongly
positioned near the top of the National
Division II listing.
Senior Glen Allison took charge in the
pole vault as he cleared a school record
height of 14'-10" to win the competition.
The wind proved to be his fiercest
competition as only one other athlete
managed to clear a height.
Allison also won the high jump by
clearing a height of 6'-3".
Freshman Kyle Waite continued the

Outdoor Track
men's success in the field events by placing
in two events. He threw the shot put 46'-4"
for second place, and the discus 121'-6" for
sixth place.
Aaron Taylor finished fourth place in
the steeple chase with a time of 10:46.16.
In what proved to be a strategic race,
Taylor was able to stay with a Mount St.
Mary's comf>etitor and overtake him in the
final laps.
Greg Rutz flushed 5th in the 400 meters
with a time of 52.43, and fellow sophomore
Marc Clausen placed 6th in the 110 meter
high hurdles in a time of 16.9 seconds.
The team was led in the distance events
by senior Travis Faulkner and sophomore
Scott Susten. Faulkner placed sixth in the
5000 meters although no time was
recorded, and Susten was fifth in the 1500
meters (4:04.3).
The final placewinner for the men was
John Martin.
Martin competed in the
