Hepner said this attack happened behind Akeley Hall, but the female victim escaped after kicking the attacker in the groin. Many stories and rumors have been circulating around campus, according to Hepner, but neither law enforcement nor the Lock Haven city police have received reports of all these incidents. Chief James Belcher of the Lock Haven city police, said there have only been three reported assaults. He said that many of these incidents have been blown out of proportion. Belcher said the city police have not increased their patrol because they do not feel there is a major problem at this time. He added that if there is a need, the city police will increase their patrol. Hepner said, "It's important to take all of the precautions you can, but don't get yourself into a state of constant fear." He suggested that students out at night should walk in well lit areas and try to walk with other people. Hepner said it's a good idea to call your roommate when you are leaving to go home and give an estimate of how long it will be until you arrive. He also encouraged all students to report all suspicious people and/or activities to law enforcement. Chancellor McCormick visits University By Kim Wilkinson Chancellor James McCormick, of the State System of Higher Education, (SSHE) said his visit on Friday was the fifth one to Lock Haven, and he has been making efforts to visit all of the 14 state owned universities. Dr. McCormick said he feels the state system is making good progress and that the local people have given the system great support. He said that as he visited each university. they each had their individual problems. Dr. McCormick said that it is exciting to provide such diversity to students and communities, and SSHE will continue to do so. "We are committed to creating an individual and unique environment on each campus," said Dr. McCormick. He added that it is a strength that each university is helping to meet some of the local needs. Others from the SSHE office included Dr. Mary Emily Hannah, vice chancellor for academic pohcy and planning; Wayne G. Failor, vice chancellor for finance and administration, Dr. Edward P. Kelley, Jr., associate vice chancellor for human resource management; and Sam B. Craig, Jr., executive deputy to the chancellor. Various meetings were scheduled with the Association of Pennsylvania State Colleges and University Faculty (APSCUF) executive board, SCC executive committee, deans and personnel officers. Smokeout November 15 Every year millions of people participate in the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout and the students of our University are no exception. Recent studies by the American Cancer Society have shown that young men and women who are college educated are among the top group of people most likely to quit smoking. "We really want students to participate in the Smokeout because quitting smoking is one of the best health safeguards you can adopt. If we can get the students to quit smoking for one day, it is possible they might quit for good," Mr. Terry Shultz, Professor of Health Education, said. "The Smokeout's importance can't be stressed enough, but it's also a fun event. It's a celebration, a holiday from cigarettes," Schultz said. "We hope the non-smoking student will 'adopt' a smoker and help him/her make it through the day without smoking," stressed Shultz. The cigarette habit is a tough one to break and the number of female smokers has caught up with men, largely because «^^ NOV.15 ^ "It was finally unvieled at halftime of Saturday's game. " I t " turned out to be the Bald Eagle mascot. The Bald Eagle was hatched at halftime and enjoyed this moment with the cheerleaders. Eagle Eye photo by Tim Sporcic more men have given up the habit. The following facts illustrate the danger to women: 1. In the 1960s about twice as many males as females smoked. Now at every age level, the percentage of females is the same or higher than that of the males. 2. In 1963, 6,588 American women died of lung cancer; in 1984 the disease will kill an estimated 37,000; and by the end of 1985 lung cancer is expected to surpass breast cancer as the number one cancer killer among women. 3. The overall death rate of women-even young women-who smoke and use birth control pills is much higher than that of non-smoking pill users. Women who use oral contraceptives and smoke have a much higher risk of strokes, heart attacks and blood clots in their legs. 4. Pregnant women who smoke have a higher rate of miscarriage, stillbirths, premature births, and complications of pregnancy. 2 n Eagle Eye D Tuesday, November 13, 1984 No time for mind dance As I walked from class to class yesterday I, and probably everyt>ody else on this campus, noticed something unfamiliar to our eyes for quite some time. That little something, which was easily visible, was snow flurries which danced In the air. Dancing snow flurries, which are easily visible, have positive aspects and negative Implications. On the positive side, dancing snow flurries remind us that the holidays are approaching and that the semester Is coming to a quick end. On the negative side, dancing snow flurries can lead us to believe that it is Decemt>er and the books can be put away. The fact is that the semester is not over yet, and It Is still November. The academic stretch from the beginning of September through the end of November Is the longest of the year, and thus Is usually the hardest to survive. Don't let all of the work get to you. Senloritis or freshmanltis or anything in between, which is not easily visible, might have set in already or might be approaching - don't let the sickness take a hold of you now. My point is that the semestef Is coming to an end, but It is not over yet. For those of you having good academic semesters, keep up the hard work and don't ever let up until the end. For those of you having poor academic semesters, do you best to survive and remember that college is a chance of a lifetime. If you are too lazy to care, your chance for a good education will be blown. That chance may never come your way again. I've been bitten by the senloritis bug this semester. Don't let the senloritis bug^r any of his "lower class" relatives bite you. Leave the flurries dance in the air, do you dancing on the weekends, and don't let your mind dance In the classroom or while studying down the stretch, because if you allow your mind to dance you may never get another chance.

One too many people have gotten attacked already. If everyone cooperates with a little common sense, some innocent people can be spared the terrifying experience of an attack. Certain precautions can be taken to eliminate attack invitations. Protect you and your neighbor. Do not prop the doors to the stairwells. Strangers have been seen in the dorms at odd hours past midnight. Keep the door to your room locked during the night and whenever not in the room. Letter to the Editor How much longer is this going to go on? What is it going to take to stop this psychopath from terrorizing our campus? Is this town regressing back to Barbarianism, where no one is safe to walk the streets alone, whether it's to a fraternity party or to Luigi's for a pizza stromboli?

While walking beware of people walking around you. Check between cars, behind bushes and up in trees. Several attacks that have happened have been reported. The number of stories around campus does out excede the number of reports. If these stories are not rumors, they should be reported to Law Enforcement or City Hall. No incident is too small even if you see someone who fits a previous description. It's better to be safe than sorry. Sincerely, Mel lives? Why is everything so hush-hush? Why doesn't someone take the initiative to try to stop him? Are patrols being beefed up? Are more men being hired by campus security? Something has to be done, maybe the students (or should I say victims) of this assailant, form a vigilante committee and handle matters our own way, and give this menace a taste of his own medicine. Steve Donaldson Guest Columnist By Carolyn Perry The advisement period is beginning, and it's time to plan your courses for next semester. As you look over the Spring 1985 Master Schedule, you will note that more than 75 courses or sections in ten different departments are labeled "V/.E.," meaning that these courses are part of the University's Writing Emphasis Program. What are W.E. courses? If you deliberately choose a course in which you know you'll have to write, are there any profits to be gained? In short, why choose a course with writing emphasis? The answer is that writing is vitally important. Obviously, better writing skills can result in better tests, better papers, and better grades in your course work at LHU. What may not be so obvious, however.is that the writing skills you develop during your college years will be even more valuable after you graduate. Employers all over the country are looking for college graduates who are not only knowledgeable in their fields but who can also communicate their ideas clearly, concisely, and correctly. According to the American Institute for Research, people in professional and managerial jobs, no matter what the field, "spend a lot of time writing, and they write a variety of documents to different readers for different purposes." Furthermore, "as professionals and managers move up the career ladder, writing skills become more and more important" (Writing in the Professions, 1981). When Ohio University College of Business questioned recruiters from 70 business firms about factors they considered important in hiring, communication skills ranl^ed first, more important even than grade point average or work experience {Journal of College Placement, 1973). Clearly, for a college graduate who enters the "real world" of job searches, interviews, employment, and career advancement, writing skills are crucial. According to C. Herbert Larson, Director of Placement, most em ployers consider communication skills, both oral and written, an essential job qualification. And when 382 chief executive officers were recently asked to identify the deficiencies they find most often in employees, over half put writing skills at the top of the list. "For over a decade," said Larson, "employers have been urging colleges and universities to address the problem of poor language skills." For example. Fortune magazine asked a group of successful corporate executives what academic programs best prepare students to succeed in their careers, and executive after executive said, "Teach them to write better." What is LHU doing to help students improve their writing proficiency? The Writing Emphasis Program is one answer. Of course, all students must pass Composition, and some programs require additional writing courses, such as Business Writing. But formal instruction in how to write is not enough. Writing is a skill; as with any skill, writing proficiency requires practice. And students need practice in communicating ideas and informatin in a variety of fields, particularly in their major fields. When you enroll in a course designated " W . E . , " you have the opportunity to practice writing about what you study. The types of writing vary: some W.E. courses require short essays, logs, reports, or research papers; others require reviews, abstracts, position papers, or other types or writing. The point is that any W.E. course is a chance to develop and improve your writing skills, to practice writing different documents to different readers for different purposes. Often, students in W.E. classes are encouraged to use the Writing Center, where extra help is available. Think about it: Are you a skilled writer? Are you doing everything you can to maintain and improve your writing skills? Will you be able to say confidently to a prospective employer, "Yes, I can write correctly and effectively"? Give yourself a competitive edge in the job market—be a proficient writer. Make sure your transcript shows that you've taken Writing Emphasis courses, and point out this fact during interviews. Why not enroll in at least one W.E. course next spring? In both the short run and the long run, a W.E. course can be a very wise choice! ANNOUNCEMENTS THE BLOW OUT!

Tuesday, November 13, 1 9 8 4 0 Eagle Eye D 3 Bald Eagles crowned state soccer champs By Christa Landas In what could be described as a long overtime mess, the men's soccer team squeaked out a victory and won the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Championship over Cheyney University Saturday. After two 10 minute overtimes, two five minute sudden death OTs, and nine boots in the kick off, LHU won 2-1. "We underestimated them," said junior Steve Paguia. " A team should never go in to a game not thinking the other team will be strong, especially against a team that has already won their division. We learned our lesson the hard way." Bald Eagle Terry Flynn scored the first goal in the game. The night before the big championship, Flynn put a peimy on the field to bring him scoring luck, and it worked. He knocked in a shot at 21:19 of the first half. Flynn had a wide open cage to shoot at as the Cheyney goalie had come out to challenge. The scorewas Flynn's first of the year. It looked as if Lock Haven would hold on to a I-0 lead to win the match but at 33:08 of the second period, Paul McDonald scored for the Wolves. Goalie Dave West had come out to meet McDonald, who just tapped the ball past West. The uneven, downgrade of the field helped the ball roll in for the Cheyney goal. Then it was overtime, overtime, and more overtime in the rough, physical play of Saturday's game. " I t was a battle. We were getting beat bad, but that just made us come out harder. We were fired up going into the overtime, and it was then that we realized they came to play," said West. He added, "It was an intense game. It was great!" One 10 minute OT csime and went and then another and still the score remained knotted at 1-1. Two five minute sudden death periods ensued and still the score remained, 1-1. It came down to kick offs Each team had five kicks which pit an LHU player against the Cheyney goalie and then a CU player against West. Different players had to kick each time their respective tearn was up, and Keith Betts started it off well for the Bald Eagles by maKmg his shot easily. Loran Hector of Cheyney calmly made his shot and then gestured at the LHU fans and team to beat that which Ed Ralston did by making his goal attempt. Now it was 2-1 in the kick offs in favor of the Eagles. CU's Kester Hood's shot was good as was Rob Eaton's goal. Lamar Seymor slipped the ball past West, and Sean Perry came right back pushing his through the net. Now it was 4-3 in favor of the Eagles. Up came CU's James Carter, and he missed wide to the left of the goal. The Cheyney fans lost their look of confidence while smiles of joy began to crack on the faces of the gang from Lock Haven. Junior Kevin York had to make his shot to assure a Bald Eagle victory, and he responded by smashing a shot past goalie Courtney Johnson to give LHU the 2-1 victory and the Division II championship. Coach Lenny Long commented, "Our team showed a lot of class out there today. They deserved to win. It was a physical game with a lot of fouls off the ball, but I think it led us to play more aggressively." The win Saturday was the Bald Eagles' seventh PSAC Championship in eight years and gives them a 13-6 record overall. Cheyney finishes with an 8-6 season record. Dave West stopped five CU shots at his gosil. Courtney Johnson saved seven for the Wolves. Lock Haven held the edge in shots on goal, 23-13. Cheyney had the advantage in penalty corners, 6-4. Lock Haven got a bid and will play Gannon University in Erie on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. The winner will go on to play Florida International University in Miami on November 24. The top seed in the NCAA tournament is Tampa University which has a 16-5 season record. Tampa, Florida International, the University of Missouri at St. Louis and Davis and Elkins College will all get first round byes because they are the top four ranked teams in Division II. Gridders drop final game by 21-9 score By Dave Walters Saturday was a great day for Parents Day but not for football as the Bald Eagles dropped their final game 21-9 to SUNY Buffalo. Jack Stadium was a swamp after last week's heavy rains and contributed to the Bald Eagles minus 13 yards rushing. Bob Kessler, who played for the injured quarterback Pat Cahill, completed II of 23 passes for 134 yards and two interceptions. In the rushing department the Bald Eagles tallied 61 yards, but with Kessler being sacked six times for minus 74 yards the total came up negative. LHU lit up the scoreboard early in the first half as Dan Ellis booted a 27-yard field goal to give the Eagles their only lead. Buffalo answered with three of their 18 points in the second period with Dan Friedman pounding a 27 yarder through the uprights. The turning point of the game was when freshman punt returner, Gary Simpson, fumbled a punt on the Bald Eagle 23 yard line and gave the Bulls excellent field position. On the Bulls very next play, senior quarterback Ken Hyer dropped back and hit Chris D'Amico for the TD. The Haven "Crunch Bunch" broke through the line and blocked the extra point attempt. If you don't remember who the "Crunch Bunch" is, here's a rundown: Defensive end Scott Gantz (6-2, 200), Linebackers Bill Peterson who had 100 tackles this season(6-1, 220) and Stan Allen who had 99 tackles (6-1, 200) and Right Tackle Dave Shriver (6-2, 215). With just a few ticks left on the clock, Friedman nailed a 41-yard fieldgoal to give them an 18-3 halftime lead. LHU scored on their first possession of the second half on a 10-play 71 yard TD drive. Eric Speece scored on a one yard run. The two-point try failed as Doug Karas hit Brian Stugart outside of the endzone. Friedman hit his final fieldgoal in the fourth period to make the score 21-9. Head Coach Jack Fisher said, "I'm still convinced that we have some good kids here. We just have to get them in the right mental frame. The kids are working hard. They just need a shot in the arm. If we can rekindle that in the off-season, we'll have a fine football team next year." Sports Editors Note Sherry Derr has scored a goal for every game she has played in, making 74 goals for 74 games. Friday's tribute to Derr falsely Implied that she scored a goal in every game she played In in her career. »••»••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••'••••••••••••••• Freshman tailback Eric Speece gets set to take a hit from a Buffalo Bull defender during Saturday's 21-9 loss.
