' Rendell's budget may cause tuition Jm^^ Issue 8 Volume 57 Friday, March 28, 2003 Lock Haven University's Student Newspaper Heather Frank News Editor Not Alone performs, promotes second CD The band rocked the stage in the PUB MPR last Friday night during their second visit to LHU. Read about it on Page 6 Governor Ed Rendell recently unveiled his proposed budget that would cause a five percent reduction in appropriations to the State System. Rendell's budget, unveiled on March 7 and signed on March 20, is proposed at $434.8 million. The governor vetoed approximately $4 billion in funding for general education. The budget appropriates only $417.2 million for educational and general purposes. The State System has requested a $459 million appropriation. The System projects a total requirement of $1,112 billion for the 2003-04 fiscal year for education and general purposes. This includes the $459 million that it is requesting from the state government. This is a 4.5 percent increase from the current education and general appropriation. The System has requested SI.8 million for Diversity and Equal Opportunity Programs, which supports recruitment, and retention programs to ensure diversity among student bodies, faculties, and administrators. An amount of S500 thousand has been requested by the i I fi, HL m WL> I'- J ?1BBBBBBBBP'BBJ[ ' *s x -Mmm |, " Sm * BJ ■ j 9 Bv - B^B^BWi^RTBH * bVI V BBBfl mmm' A BBBJBfl mmmt Photo courtesy ofhttp://www.pahouse.net/pallone/ Governor Edward G.

System for thc McKeever Center, which assists citizens of all ages in becoming protectors of the earth's resources. RcndeH's budget includes only a $1.4 million appropriation for Diversity and Equal Opportunity Programs and a $200 thousand appropriation for the McKeever Center. The System has also requested $15 million for Information Systems Integration which will be used by all universities and the Office of the Chancellor for finances, purchasing, student services, and human resources that would allow for better data sharing and cost savings. There is a $7.0 million request for Academic Program Quality, which supports university-based initiatives. These initiatives range from academic programs to research experiences to summer enrichment increase Also, $14.8 has been requested for Performance Funding, which rewards state universities financially for good performance. The Governor's budget provides appropriations for none of these. However, Rendell's budget has not been finalized. The Governor's budget usually goes through a long process that ends only shortly before the end of the fiscal year on June 30. Rendell's speech on March 25 may have the effect of "reopening" the budget process. If this occurs, the State System will be able to make its case for additional state funding support. A cut in appropriations for the State System could mean a higher increase in tuition for students. Currently, tuition is set at $2,189 per semester, a 9 percent increase from 2001-02 academic year during which tuition was set at $2,008. Tuition at thc state system universities has remained the lowest among all four-year institutions, even through multiple increases. See Tuition Page 2 programs.

She also would like to see the LP's digitized to make the material more technologically advanced. The entire collection of videos will soon be cataloged in PILOT so students can search for a video online just as they would a book or journal.

Professor volunteers for he cadets in the Lock Haven University ROTC program conducted a land navigation lab exercise at Bald Eagle State Park on Saturday morning. The purpose of the lab was to familiarize all cadets with basic land navigational techniques. The main goal of the lab was to prepare the junior level cadets for National Advanced Leadership Camp (NALC) this summer at Fort Lewis, Wash. Land navigation is one of the required elements that all cadets need to pass in order to graduate from NALC. The course was made up of 24 different points. Each junior level cadet was given the coordinates of eight different points, and they had to find at least five of those points on their own in order to successfully pass the course. The freshman and sophomore level cadets were permitted to assemble into buddy teams to complete the course. Cadet Justin Spano, a sophomore level cadet, said that he felt the lab was very helpful in teaching basic map reading skills. The lab lasted four hours, three of which were spent on the course. At the end of the lab, hot dogs and hamburgers were served, along with chips and soft drinks, as a way of congratulating the cadets on a job well done.

Rick Harvey, while acknowledging the importance of "unity between minority organizations" also voiced his opinion that it is important for minority groups to maintain their own identity and stay focused on their own goals "1 think we need to see programs tar- geted toward specific groups." Another question debated by the nominees was that of having permanent Greek and international senators sitting on thc Senate to better express their concerns. Hey! Think you've got skills? The other two issues she wants to take a look at are tuition increases, and opening the lines of communication between clubs to increase participation in individual club events and to boost the stating "Wc already have minorities serving on the board...the number of students involved in positions are not selective at clubs.

Renee Doddy said that rather than seeing that, she would rather see more passing of information between groups of students. Traumbauer dismissed the issue, ries. To find a family for the baby's adoption was another issue Amy had to deal with. Amy had two options. Either she would find a family herself or let the hospital do it. "I haphazardly found the family through one of my closest friends. I contacted the family and they accepted my baby," said Amy. in The family lives Bellefonte, which is about 40 miles north of Lock Haven. According to the adoption agreement, Amy can have the baby for three days after the allowed to meet her baby whenever the baby wants to meet her biological mother. "My baby does not let me sleep. She keeps kicking me from inside," said Amy, wishing that she could keep her baby. "But I can't. I have to be practical and I know adoption in a good family is the best thing I can do for my baby." Amy said she is scared. "I am scared of labor pain. I am scared of the delivery process.

They stress that the LRC is here for the students, so if the students want to see more equipment, CD's, DVD's or other items, they would be very interested to know and will do what they can to acquire those items. A large portion of the funds for the LRC come from the equipment fee that students pay every semester. Also, the library receives donations periodically to help offset costs.

Amy's suggestion to other young college students like her is, "to be careful of drinking in parties." "When you are drunk, practicing safe sex does not come to your mind. Your judgment gets impaired when you are drunk and others can easily take advantage of you," said Amy. She advises young students to seriously think of the consequences oftheir actions. "Women should have control over their mind and body. So don't make yourself weak by drinking too much in parties," was Amy's final message.

Mike Porcenaluk Opinion Editor Are we simply trying too hard? How much of these 24/7 news broadcasts are written and produced for us here and now? How many of them are written in a way that when they are looked back on in 50 years, this war can be remembered in a certain, positive light? We all have seen them. The footage reels of concentration camps in World War Two, the movies of the atomic bombs being dropped on the Japanese, the horrifying detailed clips of the guerrilla warfare in Vietnam. We have all seen them repeatedly in history class so that we can get a sense of what it was like to be there. TV producers and camera men must have those newsreels burned into the backs of their minds, constantly being nagged with the knowledge that what they are doing today in Iraq will be remembered forever. What they are taping, their updates and news reports, what they arc relaying to us now, will be relayed to generations to come. These broadcasts do not get put up on live cable and then forgotten about. People all over the country are taping big stories on VHS, Video CD, DVD, anything you can imagine. They are downloading them from the internet and saving them forever. They want to remind other people that they were there too. They want to look back and say "Hey, I remember exactly where I was when I first heard about that". With that in mind, I must wonder, how much ofthis news is true. How much ofit is written to tell the truth, how much of it is sensationalized and hyped so that it stands out from the other broadcasts and news updates that are flooding our cable networks constantly? Just how much are these producers doctoring this news so that it stands out from the rest? How well are they verifying these new developments for truth before they get them out to the public? Is there a filtering system in place so that we only see what they want us to? Or are they pushing this stuff out so fast that even they do not look at what is happening? Are they relaying this news because we need to know it, or are they telling these stories so that they can promote themselves?

But this year is a little different for me. I'm not anticipating the Oscars for the chance to drool over Ben Affleck or be jealous when I see the two billion dollars worth of diamonds on the women, most of which seem to be on their shoes. What I'm looking forward to is all the antiwar, anti-Bush, anti-American messages, whether written on a shirt or explicitly stated, that are bound to come up tonight. Hollywood calls it freedom of speech; I call it ludicrous. Sheryl Crow, Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, Rosie O'Donnell (to name a few) have undermined this freedom given to us by the Constitution and are forefathers who by the way, won our freedom's independence through the sacrifice of life and the tragedy of warfare. They proclaim that no matter what, we have no place and no right to conduct flavin ger the lives ofthe Iraqi people. How sweet of them. However, while they have lived in their mansions with their personal chefs, trainers, and agents, the people of Iraq have lived for decades in fear and terror of a man who seems to be immortal and unstoppable. It is no wonder that many ofthe Iraqi soldiers are still engaging us in battle now instead of surrendering like many of their countrymen. After so many years of suffering and evil rule, the soldiers and the citizens feel that Mr. Hussein is all around them, watching their every move, so no matter how many rumors spread that he is dead or incapacitated, they cannot escape their fears. But legitimizing this war is not my intention here, so back to the protestors. Last week, the Shelby County Alabama Legislative Delegation held a rally to stand up for the American efforts in Iraq and to support our troops. I seem to have found my political soul mate in Beth Chapman, the Alabama State Auditor. At the rally, she delivered a very moving speech; part of which I feel is worth sharing. "If my memory serves me correctly, it was not movie stars etivitips Covoedim: fuestfcy, Sp.ro. $0$ 1, 2003 or musicians, but the United States Military who fought on the shores ofIwo Jima, the jungles ofVietnam, and the beaches of Normandy. Tonight, I say we should support the President of the United States and the U.S. Military and tell the liberal, treehugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippy, tie-dyed liberals to go make their movies and music and whine somewhere else. "After all, if they lived in Iraq, they wouldn't be allowed the freedom of speech they're "Hollywood calls it freedom of speech; I call it ludicrous." being given here today. Ironically, they would be put to death at the hands of Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden. I want to know how the very people, who are against war because of the loss of life, can possibly be the same people who are for abortion. They are the same people who are for animal rights but against the rights of the unborn. "The movie stars say they want to go to Iraq and serve as "human shields" for thc Iraqis.

There lie human shields, heroes, and the BRAVE Americans who didn't get on television and talk about being a human shield they were human shields. Why do I think so many actors are anti-war? I can't presume to know the truth, just as I can't presume to know that the outcome of this war will be the best for Iraq, the United States and the Arab world. As far as the war outcome is concerned, I know that my God is with President Bush, and that he is following his heart in what he believes is the right thing to do. Judging from our history of presidents (Clinton dig intended here) we should not only be satisfied, but proud and trusting of our leader and those he appointed to help him run our country. Hollywood has to be anti-war because it puts them in the spotlight, just as anything that opposes the majority will do. Don't buy into what they say. If you haven't figured it out by now, stars are driven by money, not their sympathetic hearts. They love to proclaim - that peace and love are the only way, but no wonder; their livclihoods are made in those antireality situations we love to call movies. If you are going to listen to any protestors at all, make it the general public who has nothing to gain, yet nothing to lose, except maybe their voices and respect when they parade around naked, Bottom line, there's no point in protesting anymore. Our government has made it beyond crystal-clear that wc are doing everything we can to minimize deaths and that wc are committed to building a free Iraq, not a United States marionette in the Middle East, Protesting after the war has begun only harms thc wills of and disrespects the brave men and women making the greatest sacrifices of all. Wc can't pull out of Iraq now; wc would actually be doing more harm by not following through with our plans. Feel what you want, say what you want, and lay naked wherever you want. That's your right as an American citizen, but don't forget that you would be killed on the spot in some countries for the things we are fighting to give to the Iraqi people. Just Think!

The lecture later became part of his book, Why I Am Not a Christian and Other Essays. I apologize if you are expecting an analysis of Russell's lecture. Instead, I wish only to borrow Russell's title for a moment as I endeavor to share by means of the written word why I (Matthew Burne) am not a Christian. I write this not as an attempt to fulfill the fruitless intellectual ego, but because I believe we must (for our own sake) question the accepted notion of Christianity and evangelism. The notion of becoming "saved" dominates the minds of Christian thinking. There are prerequisites for becoming a "saved" Christian, and it is these prerequisites that we must question. The that evangelism Christians practice is often filled with what some call Christianbabble: phrases such as, "Ask Jesus into your heart," and "Believe thai lie is thc Son of God." I do not doubt that there can be a genuine sincerity in such "witnessing." But we must ask ourselves why so many human beings refuse to blindly accept these prerequisites. What is there that assures me-that makes it evident to me that he is the Son of God? Is there anything at all other than that he supposedly died on the cross for my sins? Who is this Jesus that you speak of? 1 John 5:7 asserts, "For there arc three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one." Revelation 19:11-13 says, "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true... And he had a name written that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God." John 1:1 and 1:14 states, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth " I mention these scriptures because they reveal to us what . Christ is-the living manifestation of the Word of God. Christ himself in John 14:23-24 says, "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him. The word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me." Just before this in John 14:10. Christ asks, "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." Christ affirmed that he came not for himself-not so that he may be worshiped, but so that his Father's Word may be heard, accepted, and put into practice. Christ is the God ofJudaism. Likewise, the God of Judaism is in fact the God of Christianity. The books of the Old Testament arc filled with the written word of the prophets who received The Word of God for their people. When the Lord ordered to the Moses confront Egyptians, Moses fearfully explained to the Lord that "they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my word: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee" (Exodus 4:1). Joshua used a stone as a witness and symbol ofthe Word of God: "And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and Page 5 A letter from the President: Where LHU stands on war tional education and hosts many guests from foreign countries as Community: full-time students and faculty.

Not Alone originates in Reading, Pa. and has been performing all over the southeastern area of the state since 1999. Tyler Schock plays acousticguitar and sings the lead vocals for the band. He is supported by Eric Schock on lead guitar, Not Alone, one of today's promising young rock bands, did what they do best and put on an excellent live show Friday night in the PUB MPR. The group, seemingly made for the stage, kept the crowd rocking, dancing and singing along for two hours. Friday night's show consisted of a mixture of old favorites Aaron Eidle on electric bass and from the band's first release, Jabin Baxter on drums and percussion. "Tomorrow Begins," new hitsThe group describes their to-be from their sophomore release, "Midnight Whispers," sound as "infectious, jam-style and covers from some of their rock." They cite such successes most musical mentors. Not Alone took the show at their own pace and intensity, playing each number just intensely enough and leaving just enough time between each song to keep the crowd always ready for yet another five minutes of pure listening pleasure. In an attempt to promote their newest release, the band occasionally tossed free demo CD's out into the crowd. The "Midnight Whispers" album, as well as a variety of T-shirts, tank tops and stickers, was available as Dave Matthew's Band, Pearl Jam and Fuel as inspiration for their musical creations. Opening for Not Alone, local band Zero Visibility played a mixture of original and cover songs for approximately 45 minutes. The show was sponsored by Club Haven. Free sodas were provided as refreshments.

When viewed in this light and when seen in his eyes and heard in his voice, his simple prayer for "a peaceful and swift resolution" to thc current conflict becomes all the more impassioned. It was not merely Brody on Oscar night. Others, in ways subtle and direct, stated their opposition to the Iraqi war or least articulated hope for its conclusion. From the peace sign of Susan Sarandon to the at of March is set aside to celebrate women's many remarkable achievements, which are often overlooked. Although we cannot highlight every women who has made a lasting impact on society, the Eagle Eye would like to highlight a few. Sally Ride: First woman in space Sally Ride was the first American woman to fly in space aboard the space shuttle Challenger in 1983. When Ride's career with NASA began in 1977, she never imagined she would have the distinction of being the first woman in space. For Ride, just being accepted to the space program was reason enough to celebrate, as previously only male military pilots were accepted. As a gifted child athlete, Ride excelled in tennis, a talent that would later land her a partial scholarship to the Westlake School in Los Angeles. After trying and failing to make it as a professional tennis player, Ride enrolled at Stanford University duel majoring in Physics and English Literature. After much thought. Ride focused her studies in the area of astrophysics. In 1997, Ride was one of five women accepted into the space program as a mission specialist out of more than 8,000 applicants. Ride underwent a yearlong intense training program including parachute jumping, water survival, and adaptation to gravitational pull and weightlessness. When it was announced in March 1982 that Ride would be the first American woman in space, it was a major victory for the feminist movement who gave the historical event the name: "Ride, Sally Ride." Harriet Tubman: American abolitionist Warsaw ghetto during the Second World War. A precept that Brody would likely accept and vaguely hinted at in his acceptance speech is that it is impossible to simply be in a role without eventually becoming of the role. In his role as Szpilman, Brody had to capture the experience of the Holocaust, even if the experience was an infinite amount of levels removed from the real thing. some influential women in history. a different woman who has made an outstanding contribution to society has been profiled daily throughout the month of March.

Peace is about more than a lack of war, a concept that seems to have escaped Moore. Debate has raged over and over again about the role that artists, particularly actors and actresses should play in shaping the opinions of society. The question is whether they are better seen and heard with the sin of forgetting it, we are also so condemned to live in a darker present if we commit the sin of ignoring the insights of our arts. Susan B. Anthony was a leading figure in the Women's Suffrage Movement of the 19th century. Anthony's religious upbringing as a Quaker instilled in her the values of freedom, tolerance, and equality of the sexes. She wanted other American women to know thekind of freedom and respect she knew while growing, thus she embarked on a crusade for women's rights. One of the issues Anthony was most passionate about was the voting right of women. After challenging the Fourteenth Amendment of 1868, Anthony was arrested and tried by a judge who was against women's suffrage. After refusing to pay a $100 fine mandated by the judge, no further action was taken against her. In the 1880's, Anthony and Stanton published three volumes on women's suffrage. Despite all her hard work and dedication, at the time of her death in 1906, only four states had full suffrage for women. However, her efforts were not in vain. Thanks in part to her crusade Congress adopted the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, giving women throughout American the right to vote. Examining the margins Take a big whiff of love Biologists discover women can benefit from exposure to men's perspiration By Eric Edwards The Orlando Sentinel Romantics say that love is blind. And the heartbroken can be heard lamenting that love is dumb. But one thing is certain: Love has a sense of smell. At least according to researchers at the of University Pennsylvania. Biologists at that school, obviously taking a break from curing cancer, have discovered that women derive physical benefits from exposure to men's perspiration. While this finding may smell like roses to men who are tired of roll-ons that leave white flakes on their shirts, I am not going to give up my Right Guard just yet. The study claims that perspiration affects women's moods by reducing stress, inducing relaxation and even affecting the menstrual cycle. These things sound good. When trying to date a young woman you like, it is beneficial that she is not too stressed out and that she is as relaxed as possible. But this doesn't mean you are intended to hit the gym before meeting your sweetie for a night on the town. It turns out that the 25-45ycar-old women who took part in the study weren't told what they smelled, which explains why this group of researchers lived long enough to write their reports. If the women had been told that the concoction administered to their upper lips had been scraped from the armpits of men who went four weeks without using deodorant, they might have reacted differently from being told they were testing a new perfume. Eeeuuu de Sweathog. If this finding were true, it would make the treadmill the new singles scene. Forget the loosening effects of alcoholwomen would be heading down to the YMCA for a whiff of dude. Of course, smells carry so presentation. Kang claims that Michael Kiser Staff Reporter well, it would be impossible for a woman to tell which man she was smelling, and she would naturally assume it was the best-looking guy in the room even though it might very easily be the dumpy one. If women arc attracted to, and even physically altered by, the effects of body odor, the "ick factor" involved is so high they would never even know it. While the women claimed to have been more relaxed for smelling the perspiration, scientists claim thc most important discovery came when they did blood work on the subjects, showing a rise in levels of a reproductive hormone that typically surges before ovulation. That information may prove helpful for women who are having trouble conceiving, but it might also make prospective boyfriends who are not yet willing to be prospective fathers think twice about getting too sweaty without taking proper precautions. It has long been suspected that pheromones, chemical stimuli emitted by our bodies, influence whom wc find attractive. So maybe thc lesson to be learned here is to find a man who is wildly successful with women and figure out a way to smell like him. If you are lucky, he will have a last name like Chanel, Old Spice or Polo. But when we lather on the cologne, are wc really robbing ourselves and our potential mates of thc chance to get to know our true scent? Maybe, but I'll bet that any calming effect your man odor may have on thc female population, it will be easily offset by the derision it will inspire in your co-workers. Feel free to spread the news about the power of your smell just be sure to let women know that the best way for them to experience the positive side effects of this smell is to get a little closer to you. he initially began attaching them to his canvas for "balancing the composition or to give it accents". However, when everything is accented, nothing can stand out. The objects are placed too carefully on the canvas, with particular attention paid to the margins of each work, which serves to kill any sort of energy that the color, or individual objects may have initiated. There is little, if any, tension created with the objects. The result is not a calming, perhaps meditative state that may relate back to the dream of childhood, but shear boredom. Kang's work should remind the viewer of the French artist, Claude Viallat who often worked with allover patters, intense colors, and organic shapes. While Viallat's arrangements are obviously more static in their grid-like arrangements, they somehow maintain more life than Kang's even though he worked primarily with geometric shapes. One of the major factors is that Viallat combined sharp angles, subtle variation of shapes through painterly marks, and overlapping lines. Kang's work suffers from too much variation. Most of Kang's works seem to show a general lack both of artistic restraint or abandon. Somewhere in the middle is hesitant play that doesn't know when to stop. One should remember the Kurt Hermann exhibit from a couple years ago in which we were presented with obscenely playful works that tended to mesmerize the viewer with many of the techniques Kang uses. However, it was its extreme sense that made the pieces work. Hermann completely abandoned his restraint Taiwoong Kang's exhibition is one ofthe largest we've housed in recent years. Filling the gallery with both paintings/collages and sculpture works, he uses almost all available space. He comes to us from Korea more and recently Bloomsburg; both are said to have a great influence on his work. Most of his paintings are centered on childhood and nature. According to Kang, many are inspired by the Pennsylvania landscape, which remind his of home, and yet are completely new to him because of its seasonal colors. Kang believes that "childhood could be the background of every idea we have." In his painting/collage works, Kang explores his childhood experiences with nature though his use of unique ceramic forms and colors. The small, attached pieces of ceramic sometimes remind the viewer of fish or birds, and sometimes remain unidentifiable. The colors are often bright and highly energizing. Many of the pieces remind one of a nature walk or a child's collection of rocks and leaves. Visually, the pieces are sometimes unresolved. Each piece's color choice, functional on its own, seems to get muddy when placed next to a similar piece of a drastically different color. From only a few feet away, this effect is visible and darkens each small series as a result. His series of three analogous works, much different that his others in color choice, stand out the strongest against the other seemingly arbitrary choices. Thc attached ceramic objects themselves almost become obstructive in their Review of the Taiwoong Kang Exhibition and succeeded in creating some of the most engaging works our gallery has ever held. Kang does not seem sure of himself. I am constantly fighting the desire to wipe the canvases clear of their multitudes of obstructive objects so as to view the imaginative and textural surfaces that Kang has created underneath. But like a child, I want to put these ceramic pieces in my pocket and run. Each piece has its own texture and glaze that makes it feel like a precious discovery. But, if these objects need to be on these surfaces, He needs to find a better way of making the objects and the paintings communicate. Kang's sculptures were the most successful. In the tradition of Asian landscape, ink painting, he renders jagged mountains and small, stubby trees in three dimensions. The subtle transition between the traditional painting style and these small sculptural representations is clear and refined. They feel complete and precise. They hold the magical, childhood qualities that Kang is so fond of, but are also aware of more than a childish view of the world. They are aware of traditions and context, yet avoid anything outside of the imagination for their content. His ceramic pottery is also generally pleasing. Many of the pots take on human characteristics through both their form (as in thc sensuous figure pieces) and through their amusing, awkward accessories that almost make them looked as if they are clothed in but- to invite students to the Playas' and Foxy 70's Ball can drive.

The least successful pieces are the large, computer-graphics based paintings. While these come closest to the energy equivalent of Viallat, they struggle to push beyond the amateur graphics of early computer designs; they look like desktop wallpapers. One is also reminded of the upholsteries on airplanes, and public buses, thc celebration-like shapes and colors set against a soft gray; they feel like an office party. Kang's slides showed thc audience that he is quite capable of making effective abstract paintings. Some of his earlier works could be standards in the field. However, he works. Kang seems to be in a transitional phase. And with every transitional phase there are problems to be worked out. Like thc English poet, William Wordsworth, another artist of nature, Kang will benefit from his quick production in that he will likely be able to move on from these works to more refined and precise pieces. Wordsworth wrote volumes of poetry and is now known for only an anthologized handful. Like Robert Frost's poems, the works that survive in our culture are those that transcend a simple, naive rendering of nature and speak to our inner person with a more motivated voice. ; Most Utilities included, monthly or semester payment plans, 24-hour maintenance service and a friendly staff.

Page 10 March 28, 2003 Eagle Eye Boxers go 4 for 4 at ECBA's Stout, Omo-Osagie, Pugliese, Jelev prepare for nationals LOCK HAVEN - The nationally ranked Lock Haven University Boxing Team went four for four last Saturday night (May 22nd) at the Eastern Collegiate Boxing Association (ECBA) Championships at the White PE Gym on the campus of Penn State University. All four Bald Eagles were seeded #1 and all four did not disappoint by winning titles. Leading the attack for the Bald Eagles was defending 1251b. champion, John Stout. Stout decisioned Army's Fred Kim to claim his 4th straight title. Stout joins just a select few of a short list of former 4-time eastern champions, which includes LHU's Tim Frymyer, 1121bs. Joe (1982-85); Salluzzo, 190-Hwt (19871990); Dave Fields, 125132lbs. (1997-2000); Eric Elmer-Datis, 119 (1996- and Chuck Mussachio 175-1851bs. (1999-2002). Stout is a Lock Haven native and was born and raised only a few blocks from the LHU campus and is now only two bouts away from winning his third national title. With an outstanding career record of 30-4, he will be favored to capture his third national title after being a sils'er medallist his freshman 1999); year. A title in Las Vegas would put him in the same elite class with LHU's only three-time national champion, Brad Klein (132-1391bs. from 1987 thru 1989. "I hesitate to compare boxers, but based on his record, I expect John to go down as not only one of the best ever at thc 'Haven', but also in the history of thc NCBA," said Dr. Cox. As defending 125 lb. eastern champ and number one ranked in the NCBA this year, Stout was awarded a bye in the semi-finals. In the championship bout he just plain "out-boxed" Army's aggressive (5-0), Fred Kim to win the 1251b. title. "I tried not to think about winning my 4th title, but to concentrate on just beating Kim," stated Stout. "I knew Kim was tough and my coaches wanted me to stay focused on the task at hand and keep him at the end of my punches. I was more nervous than usual because I had beaten Kim last year and know how dangerous he could be and how well prepared he always is. I'm just elated that I beat him. Now I can focus on winning the nationals," concluded Stout. LHU's 2001 "AllAmerican" Osahon OmoOsagie was awarded a last minute walkover victory in the 119 lb. division. A junior with a 10-8 record, Omo-Osagie was the 2001 ECBA 119-lb champion, and is expected to reach the finals and has a legitimate chance of winning the national title. The Bald Eagles senior, Gustavo Pugliese, 132Ibs., from Rio de Janiero, Brazil, had a productive weekend. Pugliese won his second 1321b. eastern title with a tough 4-1 decision over Christian Soto, U.S. Coast Guard Academy in perhaps the night's most exciting bout of the finals. Pugliese advanced to the finals by scoring a 4-1 decision using a stiff left jab over VMl's Spencer Robbins, in Friday nights semi-finals. The personable Brazilian's career record is now 12-12. "I'm happy for Gus," said head coach, Dr. Ken Cox. "No one in our gym works harder than Gus. He's a pleasure to coach because he is a pure boxer. He always gives 110%". The "Haven's" fourth qualifier is defending 1851b. eastern champion, junior Miro Jelev. Jelev was awarded one of the two walkovers at the east- erns. Hailing from Stara Zagora, Bulgaria, Jelev has an 11-4 career record and is favored to win his first national title. "A serious student of the sport, Miro continues to improve with each competition. He hasn't even begun to reach his fullest potential," said Cox. "I'll take Miro and OmoOsagie down to the Altoona Boxing Club next week for serious sparring against open division amateur boxers reprethe senting Allegheny Mountain USA Boxing, said Cox." The four eastern champions in addition to female boxers, Christina Munski, 1191bs. and Heather Joerg, 1251bs., will now prepare for thc NCBA championships to be held in Las Vegas, NV, April W «" Mr ' - ' WM dr Amw *k\\ 3-5.
