Dr. Mary Pursell, vice president of academic affairs said that while the University considers suspending class, it is not a common occurrence. During her time at the University, the number of days class has been cancelled due to wintry conditions can be counted on one hand. Three of these days were just this semester. "It is rarely done," she said. Since the majority of the students live on campus and many faculty live close by, classes are held as they can, she said. "(The University) is always concerned about safety," said Pursell. But accidents can happen under any weather conditions, she added. One reported accident involved a student who had to be taken to the Lock Haven Hospital after he fell on the ice in front of Zimmerli, dislocating his shoulder. According to David Proctor, director of facilities, maintenance crews started at 4 a.m. last Friday to try to get a head start on the ice cleanup. Working with limited manpower, their first priority was to remove ice from the stairs, he said. Proctor said that due to the nature of this problem, salt would not remove ice from the sidewalks. "We had to use ice picks, which is a longer process," he said. Due to the shortage of rock salt in Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Road Department (see Ice page 2) by Jen Baer Eagle Eye News Editor_ Icy sidewalks and piles of snow are still a common sight on campus (photo by Darrell Bressler).

(Annex/rom page 1) The University would need the board's approval for the purchase because it is a member of the state system. The board only meets about twice a year, and a lot of work concerning the purchase needs to be done before a meeting is held, Proctor said. "It's a long process for the University to acquire any property," he said. "It's a very long process." According to Proctor, it could be as long as a year until the University knows for sure if it will buy the courthouse annex. If the University would decide to make the purchase, it is not yet known what the property would be used for. Proctor said. The needs of the University and how the property would fulfill those needs would have to be considered first, he said. (Ice from page 1) couldn't give any to the University.

When Gordon decided to step down from the position he had occupied for the past ten years, Warner was elected last semester as the new chairperson of the department. In filling this position, she hopes to "continue the high caliber of theater production" in the department, Warner said. She is also very interested in recruiting students into the speech communication and fine art and theater programs at the University. "1 hope to assist the continued revitalization of our program in speech and theater," Warner said. As the new chairperson, Warner said she enjoys the closeness she shares with her students, as well as working with Dr. Janet Gross, the dean of the college of arts and sciences. She is very supportive of the speech and theater department and of all the faculty at the University, Warner stated about Gross. Warner feels she will need to make some adjustments in how she manages her time as chairperson, since she will have more meetings to attend and more paperwork to complete than she had before filling this position. "How flexible I find myself will be a chal- lenge," she said. "1 look forward to the challenge of the job." This is the beginning of Warner's seventh year as a professor at the University. During that time, she has directed two mainstage productions, "Getting Out" and "Lady From Maxim's," which were performed in the Sloan Theater. Warner has also directed two studio productions at the University. Each of these productions consisted of two one-act plays performed in the Countdown Theater in Sloan. As well as directing plays at the University, Warner also works as the costume designer for the productions. Denise Warner now heads the She has also worked in the professional theater as a costume designer and shop fore- Speech and Theater Department man. (photo by Darrell Bressler). Warner has contributed her talents to the Center Stage in Baltimore, the Orlando college in Michigan, where she also worked Shakespeare Festival, and the Turner House as a costume designer and shop foreman. Shakesf>eare Festival in Michigan. She feels she needs to "be out there doing it" to become a better educator, Warner said. "As an educator of a fine art such as theater, 1 feel very strongly about actively participating in the profession as well as teaching it," Warner stated. Before coming to the University, Warner taught secondary education drama and American literature at a public school in Florida. She then got her master of fine arts degree in theater design at Virginia Tech. After obtaining her degree, she went on to teach in the performing arts department of music, dance and theater at a community Make-up days for missed classes scheduled Faculty at the University will soon be determining whether or not their students will be sitting in class during three upcoming Saturdays this month. In a written statement sent to the Eagle Eye, Dr. Mary Pursell, vice president of academic affairs, wrote the following: Faculty have several options with respect to the mak-e-up of class time missed due to the winter weather at the beginning of the semester. It may be possible to complete the coursework by using the remaining scheduled class days. However, those faculty who wish to make up the in-class time may do so by informing students in their classes that make-up days have been identified and that they intend to use them.

News from arounci the State System of Higher Education Ad solicits girls for prostitution (SHIPPENSBURG) - A man seeking female college students to work as prostitutes for an alleged escort service has been canvassing area colleges, including Shippensburg University. An advertisement which ran in the Nov. 16 issue of The Slate gave a phone number for interested college girls. The ad offered to "work around college girls' schedules." Melissa Felix, photography editor of The Slate, called the number given in the ad because she did not believe that this was a legitimate service. The man who returned her call refused to give out information over the phone, so Felix agreed to meet with him on Friday, Nov. 19 at a local restaurant. Felix asked the man what she would be required to do as an employee of his service. He replied, "The question is, what won't you do?" "He sugar-coated what he was saying so that prostitution seemed like a re spectable and normal way to get money,' Felix said. Indeed, the man claimed that four other Shippensburg students were working for S&J Escorts. Chief Dennis McMaster of the Mid Cumberland Valley Regional Police De partment (MCVRPD) said that he felt they had enough information to make an arrest. - courtesy the Slate Fire displaces 135 residents (INDIANA) - A fire in Whitmyre Hall on the Indiana University of Pennsylvania campus started around 6 p.m. December 3, displacing 135 students, destroying at least one room and causing an unknown amount of damage. The point of origin was in a room on the southwest corner of the building. "I heard it (the fire) spread to two, possibly three other rooms, but not extensively," Liesel Adam, a resident assistant for Elkin and Whitmyre, said. "I'm sure that room (where the fire started) is completely gutted." Linda Hall, assistant vice president of Student Affairs,said other rooms sustained Biore smoke damage than fire damage. On the other hand, fire caused "extensive" damage to the third-floor hallway, she said. • "You can't even see the room numbers (on the doors)," she said. "You (the residents) will probably be surprised at the amount of damage." Few details were immediately known, but some residents of the building charged the fire started from an unattended cigarette. One resident, who identified himself only as Chris, alleged the occupant of the room in which the fire started told him he left incense burning when he left. - courtesy the Penn un inv 3 Early Childhood Education Student Group I.IUUA. by Jen Baer Eagle Eye News Editor_ Friday, February 4,1994 Eagle Eye As well as interacting with each other, group members can benefit by listening to guest speakers who are in the education profession. to get The club will also be taking part in the will be upcoming Children's Festival, which will be held at the University on March 26.

Megan Barclay - Co-President Early education majors who want some new ideas about activities they able to use in their classrooms someday should check out the early childhood education student group. The group has just recently been officially recognized by the Student Cooperative Council (SCC). According to the group's president, senior Krista Meyer, the members do a lot of interacting with one another. Members of the group talk about songs, finger plays, chants, and games that can be used in the classroom. Megan Barclay, the co-president of the group, said she has received up-to-date information about young children and an awareness of what is going on in the teaching profession by being involved in the club. The group gets its members involved and gives freshmen and sophomores a feeling for what the early childhood education ma- jor is like, Meyer said. Group members can develop academically and professionally, said Barclay. Another benefit of being in the group is that older members give advice to the younger members about their classes, she said. "We offer a lot of peer friendships," Barclay said. Cindy Campbell - Publicity Manager Kathy Allison - Secretary Sharon Haywood - Treasurer Despite recent rumors... Family Planning Clinic alive and well by Mary Jo Hatala Eagle Eye News Reporter Despite the recent circulation of rumors, the Family Planning Clinic of Lock Haven will not be closing, according to Lynne Herrman, co-director of the clinic and a registered nurse. Concerns about the clinic closing seemed to stem from the clinic's acceptance of donations. However, the clinic has always accepted donations, Herrman said. The Family Planning Clinic is funded only partially by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; donations help to offset the costs, she said. "Through the years, the government hasn't given us any extra money, and the state of Pennsylvania doesn't fund at all," said Herrman. The Geisinger Medical Group also helps fund the clinic, she said. The Family Planning clinic does not organize fundraisers, but they occasionally write for grants from various interested groups. However, grants are not a steady source, said Herrman. "Our goal is to let everyone have our services, regardless of their ability to pay," Herrman said. "That's why the students get reduced fees." The Family Planning clinic offers a range of services, including various birth control methods such as the traditional pill, a shot known as Depo Provera, and Norplant,which consists of six surgically-implanted capsules inserted into the upper arm. The clinic also provides Pap tests, check-ups, testing for sexually-transmitted diseases, and pregnancy tests. "We see a lot of college students," said Herrman. College students pay a reduced fee of $30, which is a registration fee for the year, covering services that include appoint- ments, a Pap test, blood pressure checks and tests for diabetes and anemia. "It would cost a lot more in a doctor's office," Herrman said. "The clinic does not pterform abortions. Our hope is that we prevent the need for abortions," said Herrman. The goal of workers in family planning services is that all children will be wanted and loved, she said. The clinic is also involved in education, particularly AIDS, Herrman said. "We're telling everyone to use condoms, because of the worry of transmitting AIDS and STDs," she said. "That's an important message." "Family Planning is all about the prevention of disease and the promotion of health," Herrman said. She stressed that the Family Planning clinic is not closing and is quite alive. Students may call the clinic at 748-7770 to make an appointment. Attention all SCC clubs and organizations!

The major label will now give some of these bands the chance to reach a wider audience as well as change the face of music. Last summer brought the first releases under this deal with new albums from Cathedral and Fudge Tunnel. Soon after, the world was given a taste of one of the heaviest bands around, as they released an E.P. from Sweedish Death Metal band Entombed. This taste was to get everyone prepared for their upcoming album. Wolverine Blues, which was released earlier this week. Wolverine Blues, their third album, shows the maturation of death metal. The band capture the essence of old Celtic Frost, but has vastly improved on the structure of the music and lyrics. Add its trademark sound, and you have 40 minutes of aggression beating you over the head with an anvil. Of course with aggressive music, the lyrics are a perfect fit. From feelings of anger to stories from the dark side. Entombed takes you on an emotional ride through the ears and through the brain. "Full Of Hell" is a cry from one going crazy: "I've got a 24-lane highway going straight through my head... I'm organized chaos / But don't call me stupid, I'm insane... I've got a heart like a graveyard / They are dying to get in..." Other notable cuts include "Eyertiaster," "Demon," "Rotten Soil," the title track, and "Heavens Die." Entombed has stripped the death metal sound down to its bare essentials, not by playing at lightning fast speeds or playing spontaneous solos, but by just playing straightforward heavy, well-crafted riffs. I obviously was not the only one who flipped out after hearing this record, as Marvel Comics, the largest comic book company in the world, teamed with Entombed for a limited edition of Wolverine Blues. It features a 10-page comic of Wolverine, one of Marvel's most popular characters. Since comic books are aimed at a younger audience, the obcenities have been discarded. The uncensored version of the album also has a bonus track, called "Out Of Hand." If you're a fan of bands like Metallica or Sepultura, but haven't really given death metal a chance, you may want to start with Wolverine Blues. Earache also recently released the new album from Carcass, Heartwork, featuring artwork from H.R. Geiger, most noted for his work in the Alien movies.

The paper then moves to driers and rollers, where it is eventually shaped into large sheets of paper. The deinking process, facilitated through a 60,000 square foot plant, was the newest addition to the plant, Brennan said. The old paper machines were slightly modified to accommodate the new acid-free Unity DP paper production. The ink is disposed of in the Clinton County Landfill because, according to Brennan, it does not contain any toxins. At full capacity, the deinking plant can handle 300 tons of paper a day or approximately 100,000 tons per year. To put this in more realistic terms, Brennan said the Clinton County Solid Waste Authority estimates they will produce 400 to 900 tons of recyclable newspaper, which will take three days to process in the International Paper plant. "We still have to develop the concept because people are used to white paper," Brennan said. The company could add a bleach to make the paper white, but this would add cost.

With plants all over the country, the Lack Haven division of International Paper is the first to enjoy the success of the project, one of the biggest projects this plant has ever participated in. "We have a good reputation for taking a project and handling it well," said Brennan. She also sited the location of the plant as an East Coast distributor and the cost effectiveness of paying less for recycled paper rather than new pulp as reason for the location. As the technology improves and grows, people all over the country may soon be haunted by their departed papers and magazines, but only seven times. According to European counterparts, most paper can be recycled about seven times. Brennan does not fear that there will be a shortage of paper and magazines to recycle in the near future.

Michael Leary took second in the triple Mark Elliston said, "because it was difficult to get any serious training in." Despite the jump with a leap of 40-feet, 3-inches, and limitations faced by Elliston's team, they fellow freshman Kyle Waite placed 4th in were still able to turn in some good early the shot put, as well as qualified for the ECAC meet, with a throw of 44-feet, 3 1/4 season performances.

Senior Travis Faulkner showed everyone Allison, who won the pole vault by clearing 14-feet, and the high jump by jumping 6- that he's recovered from injuries suffered during last year's cross country season by qualifying for ECACs in the 3000-meter race. Faulkner also led the men's 3200meter relay team, consisting also of Scott Susten, Darryl Walker, and Ken Stoltzfus, to a second place finish. The women's team was led by junior Tiffany Thomas, as well as Freshman Melanie Helm. Thomas won the 200-meter race in a time of 29.1 seconds, and placed 4th in the 55meter in a time of 7.8. Helm beat all long jumpers with a leap of 15-feet 9 1/2 inches, and placed 6th in the 55-meter in a time of 7.9 seconds. Elliston believes Helm will be a definite force at the conference meet, and called her, "a pleasant surprise for the women's team." Junior Tina Gilbert also looked impressive in the 55-meter, as she took 3rd place with a time of 7.6 seconds. Gilbert, Thomas, and Helm later joined forces with Shelle Roush to grab second place in the 800-meter relay with a time of 1:58.9. The women's 3200-meter relay, consisting of Amy Yarger, Mindy Lewis, Kristin Wolfe, and Brenda Trimble, also did well by running to a 3rd place finish in a time of 10:40. Elliston says that he has high expectations for both teams later on in the season, and has no doubt that they are capable of accomplishing them. "Everyone Is hard working and determined, and I know that I can always count on this group to come through for me when it really counts."

Coach Tom Justice had this to say about the meet: "We traded relays. Tilings came out the way I figured." The team has their final meet of the season this Saturday before swimmers advance to the PSAC championships. Justice hopes this weekend's meet will, "spur us to the fastest times of the season." The team will try to up their mark to 5-4 away at Shippensburg.

Friday, February 4,1994 Eagle Eye 11 TP(Dlf(t; Rogers, Leitzel come out on top at PSACs by Jason Hagan Eagle Eye Sports Reporter The Lock Haven Wrestling team has had its share of ups and downs this week. They traveled to East Stroudsburg last Saturday to compete in the PSAC Championships and, unfortunately, were unable to defend last year's title, placing third. Coach Carl Poff stated that despite the team's inability to defend their title, he was aware of the power within the Clarion and Edinboro squads who placed ahead of the Haven. He was pleased the tearii was able to defeat a strong Bloomsburg squad. Some positives of last weekend's tournament were wrestlers Bryan Leitzel and Mike Rogers. Leitzel, a true freshman and the 134- pound backufCfor Shannon Gillespie, took full advantage of his opportunity by placing second. Red shirt freshman Mike Rogers commanded his way through the tournament and defeated a tough Clarion wrestler (Tom Tomeo) by a score of 8-4. All ten of the Haven's varsity wrestlers were able to place, beginning with Brad Silimperi at 118. He lost a close match in the semi-finals but hung tough to take third. Scott Goodale, 157, lost a close and con- Wrestling troversial match to the number seven man in the nation. Tirso Valls placed an impressive third at 167. Jason Rocker came in fourth at 177, freshman Rennie Rodarmel placed fifth and Shawn Husic (126) and Pete Ventresca (150) placed sixth. Wednesday night the Haven hosted a tough Edinboro team and suffered a big loss. Coach Poff said, "There were matches we lost that could have gone both ways. They were just ready for us." Lock Haven recorded three wins which all came from freshmen. Mike Rogers won his match with 17 unanswered points while Bryan Leitzel, (142) wrestled to a strong 5-3 decision. After Leitzel's win and the Haven's only lead of the match, there wasn't a wii) until Mike (177) put his opponent away. That win ended the Haven's scoring for the night.

Third-ranked Haven to duke it out at Box-a-rama by Gilbert Durand Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_ The third nationally- ranked Bald Eagle boxing club is back in action, joining five other universities for a Box-a-rama sparring session in Martinsburg, West Virginia on Saturday. Five LHU boxers will comjjete in the boxing extravaganza hosted by the Police Action League and Sheppard College. Both reigning National Champions, Patrick Woody, 132, and Chad Minor, 172, will add excitement to the event in their quest to repeat. Two very impressive newcomers, Todd Stiner, 147, and Dirk Weaver, 165, are coming off an impressive 3-0 preseason to add depth to the very strong team. Sturdy veteran boxer Josh Welty,156, and freshman Jason Shoff, 125, will round out the LHU participants. They will be challenged by boxers from Gettysburg College, Shippensburg, Virginia Military Institute, Penn State, and host, Sheppard College. This past week nine LHU boxers traveled to SCI-Rockview for a sparring session. "All nine Bald Eagles gave a good account for themselves, " Cox said, "I was Boxing esf)ecially impressed with Woody, Minor, and Torres". Next week the team will travel to Penn State for their annual Homeshow where 8-9 LHU boxers will compete in the open division and 2-3 in the novice division. This team has the potential to give the number one nationally ranked team, UNReno, a run for the team title. "This could be the year," Cox said. "We have experience, promising newcomers, and seasoned veterans, this may be the best stable LHU has ever seen." Assistant coach Ken Cooper and statistician Mike Rominowski agree but stress that conditioning is the team's biggest adversary. "It's hard enough to step into the ring with an opponent; we fight ourselves by being out of wind", Rominowski said. For the first time Lock Haven and the Eastern Region will host this year's National Championships on April 1-2 at the Raddisson-Penn Harris Hotel and Convention Center in Harrisburg.

It seems as if the Eagles were expected to roll over and play dead after the loss of Shon Crosby and Chris Franklin, which left the Haven with a squad of only nine players. In addition to that, five of those nine include four freshman and a transfer called "deisal." Men's Basketball How do you think the Eagles have responded to all this shuffling? By going out and playing their most inspired ball of the year as has been demonstrated in the downto- the- wire losses to Edinboro and lUP. The Eagles led the 'boro 29-28 at the half in last Saturday's contest before running out of gas in the end, 70-64. Edinboro, considered by many to be the most talented team in the PSAC-West, couldn't seem to shake the pesky Eagles until the closing minutes.

Haven with 22 points but fouled out with five minutes to play. Shue was named PSAC Rookie of the Week for the third straight week and also received ECAC Rookie of the Week. Though he is only averaging 12.7-ppg, his average has ballooned to 21.6-ppg in PSAC play. The Haven then traveled to tip-off against the number two ranked team in Divison two basketball, the Indians of lUP. Once again the Eagles were on the brink of pulling off a major upset but wound up on the short end of the stick, 91-81. The Eagles trailed 43-40 at halftime and pulled to within 61-59 on Keith Greene's trey with 11 minutes to go but the more experienced Indians held on for the win. Shue and Vic Watkins led LHU with 24 and 22 points resjjectively. Watkins, Greene, and Harold Tyson pulled down eight boards apiece. Coach Dave Blank had mixed emotions on the game. "While our performance was encouraging, this is still frustrating because for the third time in a row, we have shown we can be competitive with nationally ranked teams," stated Blank. The Eagles are not giant slayers yet and that's probably not what they want to be. They want to be the giants and after this team gains more experience and learns how to play together, they just might gain that role. Experience is immeasurable and that is what the Eagles lack. Confidence is something they expound on, and heart and perseverence is no problem. With half the conference slate finished, the Eagles stand at 1-5 and that may not seem all that impressive but the rest of the PSAC-West knows what a misleading record that is. The Eagles will try to prove that once again as they square off with Slippery Rock tomorrow at Thomas Fieldhouse. Looking towards playoffs... Hoopers go to extremes by Kevin Kovac Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_ There was joy in the locker room of the University women's basketball team last Saturday afternoon; they routed PSACWest rival Edinboro, 91-69, at Thomas Field House. But that happiness turned to despair Wednesday night at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where the Lady Eagles were crushed by a resounding 85-49 count. Sandwiched between the two games was a non-division road loss to East Stroudsburg Monday night that was tame, almost forgettable, in comparison to the week's other contests. A blowout victory, then a blowout loss, both in PSAC-West play, certainly isn't the way head coach Frank Scarfo likes to see hfs squad perform. Nevertheless, the Lady Eagles still are in Women's Basketball position to qualify for the conference playoffs following Wednesday's thorough road defeat. They stand at 9-7 overall and 3-3 in the PSAC-West; a win over Interstate 80 rival Slippery Rock tomorrow afternoon at Thomas Field House would greatly enhance their chances at post-season competition. Of course, the women will first have to dispel the harsh memories of the Indiana game before taking the court against Slippery Rock. Quite simply. Lock Haven's performance was shoddy: they shot just 22% from the field (one of 16 from threepoint range), trailed 32-4 with 8:13 left in the first half, and watched as their leading scorer, senior Holly Kozlowski, managed only four points on two of 13 shooting. Following the game, Scarfo said the only thing the L^dy Eagles could do was put the loss behind them. "There's nothing positive to be gained from dwelling on this loss," he dead-panned. The women should, however, rernember their Saturday outing against Edinboro. Their offense clicked in that encounter to the tune of 55 points in the first half. Undoubtedly, it was their best showing, of the season. Earning special recognition for her performance last week was senior point guard Suzie Baird. She was named PSAC-West co-player of the week, her first such honor this season, after averaging 17 ppg in wins over Shipf)ensburg and Edinboro. The Lady Eagles game against Slippery Rock tomorrow afternoon is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m: They play once more during the week, a non-league matchup at Mercyhurst College Wednesday night.
