ABC comes to LHU tonight
By Sue Berger
StaffReporter
Diana Nyad, an ABC sports
commentator, will speak in Sban Theater
tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Nyad, who has covered such events as
the Great American Bike Race and the
Ironman Triathalon for ABC's Wide Workl
of Sports, also covered the 1984 Winter
and Summer Olympk: Games.
Before joining ABC's sports staff, Nyad
was a marathon swimmer. In 1978 she

Two high level administrators will be
retiring early next year.
George Rhodes, dean of students,
and George Marshall, vice-president of
administratton, will end their careers in
January.
"I've t>een in the business for 38 years
and 20 of those years have been spent
at Lock Haven. I want to relax for a while
and eventually travel," said Rhodes.
Rhodes feels that if you don't care
about the students you cani work for
them, that's the reason he liked his job
so much, t>ecause he did care.
"I have always been an advocate of
students rights and I hope that they
continue to take control of their rights in
the future," sakl Rhodes.
He graduated from the University of
Cotorado in 1948 and in four years he had
a job wKh the university as the Director erf
Veterns. He then moved to the position
of Dean of Men, and then to Associate
Dean of Men before finally coming to
Lock Haven in 1964.
*l wanted to get out of a big university
and into a smaller one. At Cotorado, for
every student I he^ied, there were two or
three more students who needed me
too,' sakl Rhodes, adding "At a small
college like Lock Haven, It's easier for
me to help more students."

Rhodes Is in charge of the health and
welfare of the students. Also, the
residence halls, the dining facilities,
student activities, fraternities and
sororities, and the student govemment.
Marshall sakl "When I ceme to Lock
Haven University, it was $750,000 in
debt and that figure was growing every
year. I got the school back in the black
and we've been there for the past five
years."
Marshall's job here at Lock Haven
consists of looking over the financial
welfare of the school, the budget,
security, plant maintenance, student life,
personell and purchasing.
According to Marshall, he has worked
with all 14 state universities and he feels
that you can get the best under graduate
program here at LHU. Marshall graduated
from Washington & Jeferson College in
1949. He came to Lock Haven in 1978
after having a few prevtous jobs.
He was a research psychotogist for
three years, an industrial engineer at
R.C.A. for three years. He also worked
for the Pennsylvania state government
as the Assistant to the Secretary of
Educatton for 32 years.
"I have enjoyed my job at Lock Haven
Immensely. It's hard to leave a job you
like so much. Tm just going to take some
time to relax and then probably travel,'
sato Marshall, adding. '111 probably get
bored in a couple of years and 111 have to
get arwther kind of job."

tried to swim 103 miles from Cuba to
FlorkJa, but she had to stop after 78 miles
because of jellyfish stings and eight-foot
waves. Even though she stopped, she
set a world record for the tongest ocean
swim.
In 1979 Nyad broke her own wortd
record with an 89 mile swim from the
Bahamas to Florkia
Sharon Taytor, associate director of the
athletic department, said that Nyad will
probably recap her trials as a marathon
swimmer such as going on special diets
and having sharks and jellyfish swim
around her in the ocean.
She added that Nyad is likely to tell how
her swimming career led to her
broadcasting career.
Nyad is the author of three books
including a basic athletic training guide for
women and an autobiography.
Taylor said that Nyad is now working in
the entertainment and movie industries,
as well as the broadcasting field, so her
speech should cover a wide variety of
topics that will interest many people..
The event is being sponsored by the
SCC, the Women's Consortium, and the
Human Relattons Office.

George IMarshall the Vice-President of Administration.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

EDITORIAL
Make the di
"Vou mre ithe Murtr
says a stem voice from above,
talking to coiiege seniors in particular. Who? Us seniors.
No thanks. We dont want anything to do with it.
I use to think like that. But at this point I feel like I can't
afford to any longer. Those who came before failed to
correct too many of the problems in this wortd. That kind of
leaves it up to us.
There's people out there who are saying. "Right, like I'm
going to make a difference. What's one person going to
do."
If you just thought that, you're a loser. You'll never be
worth a cent to the human race.
I'm not insane. I understand that the impact that one
individual has on organizations like government and big
business is practically nil. But not all changes have to come
on the most upper levels of the establishments.
The odds of getting your desired result may seem long,
but that's no reason for not trying. If everybody gave up
before they even gave it a shot, nothing would ever t)e
changed.
Pick your cause (or causes) and give it a little effort. You
may not put a stop to hunger, or war, or abortions. But
nothing gets done without a start. Maybe your effort is the
one that starts the first flake that turns into an avalanche.
Me, I'm going to keep sending letters to my
congressman about acid rain and trying to preserve more
wilderness areas.

This results in only a small fractkin of

Part of the problem may t>e poor PR

much effort on your part to establish
better relations with the Music

If no informatton is given to the Eagle

that not many people at the Eagle Eye
care atmut the music program at our

Dear Editor.
This letter is in response to one of April
8 conceming the maintenance of the
Gross HaU elevator. The informatton thai
foik>ws was obtained by personal
interview with Mr. James A. Msddey.
head of Maintenance here al Lock
Haven, end pertains to all etevakxs on
campus.
Elevator maintenance is currently iMd
on a 3-year oontrad tuais which, by ttte
way. Is yp for bkl this year. The current
firm responsible is the Vertical
Transportatton Company (V.T.C.). a
professtonal elevator servicing firm.
V.T.C.'s contract includes twtoe-monthly
inspactton and testing of each elevator
on cannpus as well as an on-call isasis
emergency repair service. On-call
service is responded to within
twenty-four hours of the initial report.
As far as Gross Hall is concerned,
approximately 75% of the time that the
elevator is not working, the direct cause
is VANDALISM to the elevator. Each
time V.T.C. services an elevator
damaged by vandalism, there is an
additional charge to the university
(usually between $60 and $500).
It is true that Gross Hall Council
reserves the right to shut down the
elevator. However, Hall Council has only
exercised this authority on two
occaskins—both when someone had
urinated in the elevator itself.
Hall Council Meetings are a great way
of voicing opinions, airing grievances,
and getting answers to questions
concerning campus life. Yet, so few
people take the time to show any real
interest. Hall Council holds meetings
once a week in each dorm. See your Hall
Courwil President. Vice Prestoent, or Hall
Director for the time andtocatkmof these
meetings.

Doyou havea drinking problem? Abstract art presented in Gross
Linda Farrell
StaffReporter
Did you ever wonder if you have a
drinking problem?
Many college students laugh at the toea
that they may have a drinking problem, but
many start their problems in college.
April 21 - 25 is Alcohol Awareness Week
and many events are planned for
students.
Tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the Hall of
Flags, Mr. Doug Fife, Drug and Ateohol
Counselor at Endless Mountains
Rehabilitation Canter will be discussing
the disease concept of Addtotion and
Related Patterns of Behavtor.
On Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00
p.m. 'under the tent' in front of Russell
Hall, LHU students will consume alcohol,
be tested on an intoxilizer, and participate
in an obstacle course and sobriety tests
over the period under the direction of '
Officer Mincer Chief of Police, Pine Creek.
Also on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the
Hall of Flags. Ms. Lisa Fogulman. from
West Branch Drug and Alcohol
Commission will show a film and discuss
the laws relating to drinking and driving,
and underage drinking. She will also talk
about what we can do, and include
informatton on MADD and SADD.
These are some common symptoms of
the beginings of a drinking problem.
1. Drinking more than any other person

in his/her party
2. Keeps drinking more and more
3. Experiences blackouts, not
remembering anything said or done while
under or when out
4. Drinks faster than others and
chug-alugs his drinks
5. Loses control over himself/herself
and the events around him
6. Gets drunk when not intending to
7. Develops a system of lying and
excuses and rational explanations for
his/her behavtor and drinking habits
8. Personality and attitude change even
when not under the influence
9. Accidents occur, toss of friends
10. Drinks to overcome the hangover
If any of these warning signs sounds
familiar you may be on your way or may
already have a drinking prot>lem.
The effects of alcohol on your body are
not something to laugh off. Alcohol when
absorbed, goes directly into the blood that
goes to the stomach and other various
places such as the intestines. Alcohol,
unlike food, does not need to be digested
before it starts working.
The alcoholic drink is distributed evenly
or to where there is a high content of
water. The txxly is 70 percent water.
After about an hour, the body starts to
dispose of the alcohol, by the
lungs-breathing, skin, and liver. The
atoohol is carried to all the body tissues
until it eventually reaches the brain. This
is where tha real intoxtoatton takes place.

An actual demonstration in abstract
art will presented on Thursday at 7 p.m.
in the Gross Hall Lobby.
The program Is entitled "Gross Avante
Garde, An Exhibition in Abstract Art.'
A total of nine paintings wili be done on
20 by 24 inch easels by nine different
painting groups.
A couple of the
abstracts will be by single individuals.
Of the 15 artists participating, the
majority are Gross Hall residents and
approximately three are art majors.
No two of the paintings will be alike in
appearance, because each group will
have their own distinct cotors and none
will over-lap.
Bill Rehn, a Gross Hall student
counselor and coordinator of the event,
said. "It wiil not be a brush splattering
night... it will be art.*
The artists will be using acrylto paints
and supplies purchased through the
donations of local businesses, such as
K-mart, Pizza Hut, McDonalds, Little
Caesars, Art Printing, Hair Flair, Addles,
Derrs, Frills -n- Things, Jerry's and
Original Italian Pizza.
Rehn said, *l first went to hall council
for money, but the costs were too much.*
Rehn then went to the local
businesses for support, and has
collected approximately $200 in
donations.
When the paintings are completed,
they will be put on temporary display for
approximately a week in the businesses
who contributed to the abstract
demonstration.
The abstract creattons will then go on

permanent display in various university
buitoings.
Each dorm will get one of the paints to
hang in their tobbies, and one will be
displayed in Sullivan Hall.
