He said that the Albanians have been suppressed for many years and that Albanians are fighting with no chance of winning this war. He is happy that NATO forces have stepped in. "Without NATO these people would have stayed in regime. There was not much hope for change," he said. He added that people deserve to be free, rather than be controlled by a dictator, Claudianna, an Albanian student, also spoke of the bombings. "No one likes the war," she said. She believes that Albanians want to die from NATO bombs rather than from Serbians. Yet she stated that NATO should continue what it has started, otherwise civilians will suffer. She hopes that the war will someday bring peace to everyone. The evening was presented by Sara Smith,. a student who has a friend in Yugoslavia. They have been communicating through e-mail for some time. Smith dedicated these discussions to her friend, who is Serbian, and hopes that the bombings will soon stop. The feelings of the Serbians are that NATO should not be in Kosovo, and this has caused much anger among the people, In fact, pop concerts have been held in the middle of open lawns in Smith's protest to the air raids. friend, though, sent a message to all students, "We are a nation with a heart and we are not the least bit different from you " The evening concluded with a candlelight vigil in hopes for a stop to the mmMW&^^^^^^M^K^^^^^f^^: K l||iPfljta$ ' . As college students, we have our whole life ahead of us. We're here to look ahead into our future and in the process, we leave our friends and family back home for the time being. What happens when our friends and/or loved ones leave us behind for the rest of our time on Earth? This is a reality to some students wandering this campus, those grieving the death of a father, mother, girlfriend, brother, grandmother, etc., as talked about during a panel discussion entitled, "College Students and a Family Death." The discussion, organized by Dr. John Gordon, chair of the Speech and Theatre Department, was based Bower stressed to the audience in Sloan's Countdown Theatre that "we must experience the pain of grieving" before one can reach the final step of acceptance. Perhaps one student panelist who has reached this final stage fully is Matt Whitter, who lost his fiance to a car accident four days after Christmas in 1995. He described how that day he and his girlfriend, Melissa, were to eat dinner together, but she drove ahead of him and he was to pick her up at her house. When he Despite the enormous grief he experienced the first year or so, Whitter said that now three and a half years later, "I am a success." With the help of friends and family, Whitter decided not to take his own life as he had once considered, but to live it fully. He said he is ready for a relationship again, believing that despite Melissa's place in his heart, he is not trying to replace her. (See Grieving on page 2) IpiiNH L 'fl M.

The speech was done to coincide with Pride Week. Cloud suggested that "our gut feelings are often wrong" in relation to assumptions on how sexual orientation occurs. He feels that systematic empiricism, the process of using evidence that has been tested and approved by many scientists, is the best bet for understanding the world. One should not use "person-who" statistics when trying to understand sexual orientation, he said. "Have an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out," was one of the messages conveyed to the audience by Cloud. He said that most issues don't have clear answers and that knowledge is uncertain. Just because an issue isn't settled doesn't mean that all answers are created equal. Cloud emphasized that sex hormones play a large role in determining sexual orientation. He feels that people should get out of the "menare-men, women-are-women" assumption. The amount of hormones secreted determines how masculine or feminine any person could act or 1 e Friday — Sunday Saturday Rain High of 64 Low of 42 Partly Cloudy High of 65 Low of 43 Rain High of 60 Low of 41 . 1 H Grieving from page 1 how we need to get to the bottom of surface, As said °y Shakespeare, accordthe cup and deal with what seems like what we want to keep at the bot- ing to Buchanan, "Everyone can torn, those feelings we don't want to master grief, but he who hasn't.

If 50 Lock Haven University students were asked how many pounds of trash the University produces in one year, how many of these students would guess correctly? This question was asked in a random phone survey of 50 on- and off-campus students. The numbers were astonishing. Only six students came remotely close to guessing the correct weight. The other 44 respondents had no idea that the University produces over four million pounds of trash in one year. This four million pounds of trash includes paper of all colors, Styrofoam, food waste from Bentley Dining Hall, some cardboard, cans, glass, The waste taken away from the 29 University buildings is removed by the Love Inc. removal service. According lo Judy Caprio, University employee, Love Inc., is paid $3,344.50 each month to remove garbage from the University. Because the 20 University buildings produce 1.25 million pounds of trash per year, this equals $31 per pound. Keep in mind that in the previous article on waste it was reported that the University no longer recycles white paper. The University produces 50,021 pounds of paper waste per year. At this rate of $31 per pound, the University could save $15,579 per year in waste removal services. Bentley Dining Hall is responsible for ate issues. Hotline organizers said graduate students would prefer speaking to counselors from a distant city for fear of having their crisis exposed on campus. "A national hotline a thousand miles away may be more appealing for some grad students who initially might be reluctant to contact on-campus mental health services for fear of exposure," said Dr. Mary Francis Seeley, special consultant for the hotline and chief certification examiner for the American Association of Suicidology.

The program unearthed the emotions behind the issues plaguing homosexuality and focused on inspiring dignity and confidence in gays, lesbians and bisexuals through McCormack's original music and speech based on his personal experience as a gay man. McCormack began by reciting a definition of hate, describing it as "intense hostility or aversion, usually deriving from fear, anger or sense of injury." He continued on to emphasize the hateful motivations behind prejudice actions, including the current situation in Kosovo and recent acts of homophobia, speaking mournfully of theircausalities as aresult or fear and ignorance. "People tend to trivialize it," said McCormackofhate. Common phrases such as "I hate my haircut" diminish the intensity of hate to an annoyance, "but it's much deeper than that." Hate invoked by ignorance can be a Tom McCormack describes his definition of hate and how this hate dangerous source of destruction, but less manifests itself as prejudice last Wednesday in the Multi Purpose Room. evident, ignorance of individual identity Tara Gilbert/The Eagle Eye can be equally destructive.

There have been times when I've had a miserable or terrifying experience in the wilderness. In retrospect, I laugh at the times when I thought that I would lose all enthusiasm for the outdoors, so I guess they really have been all positive experiences, and they've also been en- lightening. I've learned much from my mistakes outside, and I have yet to make the same mistake twice. Allow me to tell a story about the time I almost got myself killed. One of my hobbies is a dumb one, if you think about it logically. I really enjoy tying myself to a rope no thicker that an inch in diameter, and then attempting lo scale the rock face of a cliff. It's all very fun, so long as you never think about the fact that if you fall and the rope doesn't hold then you are likely to become human pancake at the base of the cliff. If that awareness creeps into your consciousness then you are likely to chicken out. Modest fear is necessary however. If you choose to ignore the fact that you are essentially trusting your life to a fiber cord, then Joe Tighe shares his near death experience honest with myself. I was really an idiot. I have since changed my belief's after one harrowing experience. I fell. I fell hard. I had just gotten out of my car and was checking my equipment to make sure that I had everything I needed to climb the 100-foot wall that I wanted to attempt since I first journeyed to Ralph Stover State Park. Stover has a climbing area known as High Rocks, and it one of the better climbing spots on the East Coast. Not the best, just good. I had brought my friend Charlie along with me. He was a pretty decent climber and I trusted him with my life. So, I sorted through my gear and seeing that everything was there, I threw thc backpack, which held my rope, carabiners, chocks, cams, etc. onto my back and headed down the winding path for about a mile until I reached my long awaited rock face. The wall shot 100 feet straight into the air. I stood at the base and felt very small compared to the magnificence of nature and surveyed the face for a route. I figured that it would be best to climb it sort of zigzag so as to You're not grabbing thc wall and pulling yourself up it like Sylvester Stallone in "Clif'fhanger", nor are you kicking your feet about wildly looking for a place to plant them. It's simply a dance. Your hands hold on to the wall, for balance, and your feel move up the face. Each motion is carefully proceeded by another motion that was as much a part avoid shrubs and loose rock that adorned its surface. I told Charlie WATCH STEP how I was going to climb it and he agreed that it would be a nice first atyou are going to get hurt. In order to tempt. I knew that it would be diffibe a successful climber, you need to cult, but the joy of conquering a face be afraid of what you're about to do. is unlike anything that most people of the last movement as it is a comI've learned this the hard way. have ever experienced, so it would pletely different movement altogethWhen I first started climbing I be worth it. er. If you move your left foot up, was convinced that I was invincible, I tied myself to the rope, chalked then your right hand moves with it, and that I would never, ever, get hurt my hands, adjusted my shoes, and and vice versa. Everything is chorewhile climbing. I was naturally fear- stretched my legs. This was going to ographed in a logical, rational, esless. I had little regard for my own be a long climb.

Just take my word for it. ARTICULATE? I had been climbing for about 15 minutes straight, and the lactose was starting to build up in my forearms, My muscles became rock hard, and my usually tight grip was loosening as each second slipped by. I yelled down to Charlie, all 50 feet, that I was going to take a break, He locked the rope off and screamed up that I could relax. I let go of the wall and sat back comfortably in my harness. I shook the ache out of my arms and looked around. High Rocks is in a sort of valley, so I really couldn't see much besides trees, but there was a guy fly fishing in the stream that ran through the gorge below the cliffs. He was making perfect ten and two casts, but not getting a bite...oh well. One of the things that I used to do, back when I was an irresponsible climber, was hold on It) the rope and then (lip myself upside down so thai I was suspended in the air doing a swan dive. My head was where my feet were a minute ago. and now the fly fisher was making perfect eight and four casts. Turning yourself upside down on purpose is really dumb, but you get a real rush. The problem is you can slip out of the harness, but that's not what happened. Alter about five minutes of taking a break. I resumed my climbing I was getting sick of waiting to gel to the top. so I resumed with unusual fervor. I was no longer dancing with ihe wall. It was more like I was taking my partner, throwing her to the ground, and then doing the humptyhump on her lace; I was practically I was sweating, my legs were cramping, the veins in my temples were throbbing, my chest felt like it would explode at any minute and the rocks were getting harder to grab as my grip waned and the sweat from my palms slicked their surface. I was breathing hard, like I was running for my life, and approached the top. I reached over the top of the cliff with my right hand and matched it with my left. Then, with one jerk, I pulled my body over the top and laid in the dirt breathing sweat and dust. Now, you see, the whole time I was climbing, I was putting chocks and cams into thc face of thc cliff, These things serve as anchors for the rope if you fall. Most climbers put one every ten feet or so. I put one every fifteen, depending on the difficulty. If its an easy climb, one every fifteen feet, a hard one, one every ten or five feet. This climb was relatively easy, but long. I had climbed 100 feet or so in 25 minutes, and that's not bad at all. The only problem was, I was in such a hurry to get to the top and had forgotten to put a chock in place for the last fifteen feet. But I didn't know that yet. I stood up at the top of the cliff, which in itself is pretty dumb since one is susceptible to vertigo when standing at the edge of a cliff, and looked down at Charlie. I gave him the thumbs up, basking in an adrenaline high, loving life, and wallowing in my victory over Mother Nature's formidable obstacle, and then I felt it. I was standing on loose gravel, and too close to the edge. I lost my balance, and fell off the cliff. Like I said, I had forgotten to put the last chock in, so my fall began with a 15 fool flailing of arms and legs as gravity won out over my repeated efforts lo fly. 1 grabbed at the rope as if it was going to save mc, hell, it was going down with me. All sorts of thoughts ran through my head, like, did I leave the toaster on? Who has the power of attorney in the event of my death? I wonder if this is going to hurt? And how the hell are the paramedics going to spatula my body from thc floor of this canyon? Then I decided to think about other things, like why wasn't I wearing a helmet? These thoughts came at first, but then I was just hoping that the chocks I remembered to place would hold. I found out soon enough. I was jolted and slammed backwards into the wall as my weight on thc rope taught the line. I felt like someone had hit me in the pelvis and back with a baseball bat from the sheer force of the rope doing what it was designed to do. stop me. The rope worked, but running up the wall. I didn't care the choice didn'l It ripped out of the about form any more; I just wanted cliff as I fell on it The rock wasn't to get to the top. strong enough lo hold it in place in The Office of Admissions have a job for YOU!!!

Applications will available in the Office of Admissions beginning March 29* thru April 12*. the event of an impetuous fall like this one -damned sandstone, My face was sprayed with stinging rock particles and a loud crack deafened my ears as the chock shot out from the face like a bullet, Then I realized that if the first chock didn't stop me, then neither would the others. S**t, I was going to fall 100 feet and die. So much for my previous conceptions about the invincibility of youth. Then, I felt my ankle break, I had fallen about 35 feet, one chock had failed, and one ankle had been severely broken. What had happened is that while I was Hailing in mid-air, and after the chock had failed, my foot had gotten caught in a crevasse, and that is what stopped me. My ankle would take months to heal, and it still gives me problems, The whole fall took about three seconds and I was now hanging about 60 feet above the ground, and I had to get my mangled foot out ol the crack. It took a few minutes until I was free, and then I had to climb back up, broken ankle and all, to get to my car. Allow me to explain this seemingly macho statement. If I had gone down to my car, I would have had to walk a mile on the trail lo the parking lot, on the injured joint, and that was not happening because it would real- ly, really hurt. If I climbed the remainder, and could do so with just one foot since there was an easier route close to the one I was on, then my suffering time was shortened considerably. Less pain, happier Joe, get it? 1 dragged myself to the car. Charlie came running up thc trail into the parking lot screaming "holy s**t, holy s**t, holy s**t..." and was in a little more shock than I was. I've always been good with pain (I could never, ever have a baby though, for more reasons than the most obvious one. Kudos to the women.) He drove me to the hospital after calming down and the doctors there kept telling me how lucky I was that my foot hadn't been ripped off when it got stuck. I figured that the chock had at least slowed me down enough so that would not have happened, thank God. And that's why my attitudes towards a lot of sports have been rearranged into completely different mental schcmas. I now look before I leap...well, usually. I still climb, and do a lot of other dumb things for no reason other than to say I did it, but I am no longer the reckless adrenalinefed adventurer I once was; rather, I am now a cautious adrenaline-fed adventurer. So. like I said, you need to be a little scared to climb cliffs. Do you want to become the Outdoors Editor?

Page 10 April 9, 1999 Suits U, Iowa wrestlers aware of videos in locker rooms By Tony Wirt The Daily Iowan (U. Iowa) — (U-WIRE) IOWA CITY, Iowa Iowa Head Wrestling Coach Jim Zalesky and Strength Coach Daryl Webber were among the wrestlers videotaped by a hidden camera in locker irooms at the 1995 Midlands Open in • ,'Evanston, 111. ; The footage is being marketed •over the Internet and by mail as part [of "hidden camera" pornographic ;material. A report in Sunday's IChicago Tribune said the FBI is in- vestigating whether the tapes violate (eavesdropping or pornography laws, Zalesky said Monday he saw i [some of the footage a couple years iago. Zalesky was competing for the iHawkeye Wrestling Club at the time, ;and was shown in the locker room. "I'm used to getting naked in ront of a bunch of guys, so it doesi't really bother me one way or an>ther," Zalesky said. Current Assistant Coach Terry Srands attended the 1995 Midlands, nd he and Weber discovered a man aping in the weigh-in area before jrning him over to security. "We saw a guy holding a black camera bag with a hole cut out of it," Brands said. "He was directing the camera at Weber and some other guys, so we got a little hostile with him and called the security guard. They ran him out of there, and I don't know what happened after that." "We just held him there and called for security because we didn't want to get kicked out of the tournament. I don't think they arrested him, I think they just booted him off the premises," said Brands. Iowa traditionally sends a full team to the Midlands, along with members of the Hawkeye Wrestling Club. It is unknown whether any other Hawkeyes were videotaped. "I just couldn't believe it when I first heard about it," former Iowa Coach Dan Gable said. "But then, when I thought about it, I realized it was par for the course, especially with the ability to get things out to the public. It's just an easy way to make money." Security has been tightened at the Midlands in recent years to prevent a repeat of the 1995 incident. Despite the beefed-up security measures, the problem resurfaced this year, when another man was caught with a video camera. The man was escorted out of thc building, but returned without his camera after buying a ticket, the Tribune reported. The Midlands tournament isn't the only place where this appears to be happening. Tapes were also found at the University of Memphis, according to the Tribune. "I figure it's something that hap- will probably have to go to wearing briefs during weigh-ins," Gable said. "That won't affect weigh-ins much — it's only an ounce. I think it's more appropriate anyway. I always felt a little uncomfortable with all in with their singlets on, and the those naked guys walking around at NCAA may soon follow with similar weigh-ins. legislation to prevent similar situa"It was something that nobody tions. really thought about before. Now "Because of this, (the NCAA) that it's made the news, maybe there pens a lot, not just in wrestling, but in a lot of places people don't know about," Zalesky said. "You've just got to be wary of it." At international tournaments, wrestlers are now required to weigh will be a few changes." Four years later, Brands — like Gable and Zalesky — does not appear to be overly distressed by the incidents in 1995. Still, he wishes they could have been avoided. "I don't appreciate people filming me when I'm naked, especially some pervert," Brands said. 1^ ^ ^ TWO-MINUTE WARNING Saturday, April 10 Track and Field teams take on Mansfield University and California University at Indiana at 11:00 a.m. Lacrosse goes to Gannon University for a 2:00 p.m. matchup.
