University celebrates Black History Month
by Amy Adi Goshi
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
The month of February is officially
known as Black History Month, where the
historic accomplishments and contributions
of African American men and women are
celebrated over the course of the month.
The University held various cultural
and educational activities in comemoration of this year's celebration, first with an
informative speech by Dr. Manning
Marable, writer and civil rights activist and
climaxing with the showing of the Medgar
Evers story at the Roxy Theater on Monday.
In an interview with Amy Freeman,
director of the office of human and cultural
diversity, she said Black History Month has
been celebrated on campus for several years
and was organized by individual groups
who were interested in observing it. Each
year her office compiles a calendar listing
of the events for the month. She said
although there is no specific funding for
Black History Month, students were given
the opportunity to attend events at other
universities and organize programs on campus.

The Rol)ert Lynch Pennsylvania Black
Confrence on Higher Education was also a
part of this year's activities. Seminars
began on February 26 and will conclude on
March 1. There will be workshops on writing, church celebrations, food and discussions in honor of African Americans who
contributed to history.

Freeman said that she was pleased with
student particpation in this month's activities and that students have shown great
interest in attending confrences and participating in programs.

Student Union (BSU) felt many students

pus. He said the club organized 13 different programs last semerster, with the aim of
making positive contributions.
Black History Month was foun led by
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, known as the
Father of Black History when he started
Negro History Week in 1962. His purpose
was to draw attention to black contributors
in American society.
In 1892 Woodson left Virginia and
worked with a railroad construction crew in
Huntington, Alabama, then in a coal mine
in Fayette County. He later received a doctorate in 1912 from Havard University in
history, where he did an intensive study on
the black past.
In 1915, he founded the Association
for the Study of Negro Life and History to
encourage scholars to engage in the study
of the black past.
In his book,
Miseducation of Blacks, Woodson discredited the the myth of inferiority and
enhanced self-esteem among black citizens,
whom he believed had been victimized by
the American educational system. He studied at Douglass High School in Huntington
and returned in 1900 as its principal.
Driven to pursue higher education, he

University awarded grant for Link to Learn program
by Cynthia Graham
Eagle Eye News Editor_
Under Govenor Thomas Ridge's Link to
Learn initative, the University received a
$600,000 technology grant for a test project, KCnet, that will electronically connect
school districts and universities in Clinton,
Centre, Lycoming and Potter counties
tlirough the use of fiber-optic cables provided by Pennsylvania's TCI Telephone
Services.
The linkage will allow involved schools
to transmit live broadcast video that will
exceed the picture quality of a regular television. It will also provide for a high data
network that will give access to email and
the World Wide Web and for telephone
servirces between locations without the
presence of rising charges.

The grant is supplemented with public
and private investments and will connect
Keystone Central, Bald Qagle Area,
Bellefonte, Penns Valley, PhillipsburgOsceola and State Colllege School Districts
and the Centre County Area VocationalTechnical School.
Through the funding, the University
will expand its ability to offer undergraduate and graduate credit and non-credit
courses to participating schools and residents of those regions.
According to Dr. Dean Phelps, vice
president of finance and administration, the
University received the most money of the
14 funded applications that were selected
from 130 applicants.
"We submitted an application for a larger amount, between $800,000 to $900,000,
but we are pleased with the outcorne," he

said.
Phelps said the new program will not
cause student fees and tuition to increase,
but will provide new academic opportunities, especially for education majors. He
continued to say that the funding is a great
opportunity for the technological advancement of the Clearfield campus.
Dr. Patricia Ryan, director of grants and
spmnsored research, said the University was
delighted to have received the grant. She
said that Ellen O'Hara-Mays, chemistry
associate professor, was on the grant award
committee, but played no part in influencing committee members decisions in favor
of funding the University.
"Although she [O'Hara-Mays] was on
the committee, she was far removed from
the evaluation. Our application had to
stand on its own merit," Ryan said.

"The receipt of this grant is a tremendous benefit to all counties involved, but
particularly to Clinton County, " said Bob
Little, Computing Center director.
The two-year grant is expected to be in
effect next spring following the installation
of the fiber connections during the summer
months.

Ne w s
Local landlord's continuing battle with city
by Brian Plosidna
Eagle Eye Sports Editor_
It all started back in 1967. An educated
man from Penn State University was having
trouble with the tenants who rented his
apartments, and the city of Lock Haven
itself. The row of housing was called
"King's Row" along 316-326 E. Bald Eagle
St., and the man, along with an associate,
broke the main water line while digging the
ground near the housing.
The tenants went without water for
months, yet their landlord refused to repair
the damage. Al Hoberman, then the city's
chairman of the board of health, had to
close the housing down, leaving the residents stranded.
The housing was eventually demolished, but it was not the only Lock Haven
property owned by resident George Miller,
nowof 539 W. Main St. It was also not the
first battle fought between Miller and the
city.
To be fair, the properties were not necessarily owned by Miller, but by the companies which he created. The most prominent of these companies was ANSPAR, Inc.
Things stayed quiet throughout most of
the seventies, but on November 13, 1984, a
structural fire made internal damage leaving his 514 W. Main St. property in what
Dave Romig, code enforcement officer,
described in 1988 as, "a state of collapse."
Romig also recorded that the house was a
fire hazzard and promoted rat and vermin
infestation.
Miller didn't repair the property to the
code's which it failed to meet and the city

voted to demolish it, along with Miller's
'
properties at 130-134 E. Church St., 609 E.
Park St, 16-18 Mt Vernon St.
Miller filed a suit against the city in
May of 1990, naming the city manager,
Romig, the mayor, and the city council
members in order to contest the demolishion. Miller stated that Romig refused to
give him a building permit in order to do the
repairs, but Romig says that he told Miller
that he did not need a permit to do the
repairs that were required. Miller lost the
suit and the properties were demolished in
December 1990.
But while this feud was boiling, another
was burning in everyone's mind. In July of
1987, Miller asked Zoning Officer Robin
Yost what he would have to do to put up
signs on his property at 130-134 E. Church Tenants of "King's Row" went months without water after their landlord

Sliippensburg designates
free speech zone
SHIPPENSBURG - The independent
college traveler finally made a path to the
campus of Shippensburg University.
The professionally suited man held his
Bible open in his left hand and preached
the word of God to anyone who stopped
and listened.
Brother Jim's ranting and raving left
mary students bewildered. One question
was repeatedly asked: Does any non-relatsd person have the right to freedom of
speech on campus grounds? The answer is
complicated.
Anyone has a right to speak their mind
on Shippensburg University land because
it is considered public property, but there
are restrictions.
According to President Anthony
Ceddia, there is a specific spot for uninvited public speakers located at the octagon
gazebo on the grassy area between
Franklin Science Center and Ezra Lehman
Library.
"(Public speakers) must be in the freespeech zone located in the gazebo,"
Ceddia said.
Ceddia added that anyone who refused
not to stty in the zone would be escorted
off campus. Brother Jim was escorted to
the gazebo twice by University Police
before he finally agreed to abide by the
rules and preach at the designated spot.
Chief Dennis McMasters of MidCumberland Valley Regional Police
Department explained another restriction.
"If 1 point you out and call you bad
names, I would be harassing you,"
McMasters said.
Brother Jim came close to crossing this
line. He made such comments as "sorority girls are whores," "there are so many
queers on this campus" and "fraternity
boys are horny and throw parties as an
easy was to de-virginize girls."
Because the preacher did not point any
fingers at individuals in the crowd.
Brother Jim was safe from harassment
charges.
According to Pat Waltermyer, a communication/journalism professor and former attorney, freedom of speech, whether
offensive to a person or not, is protected
under the First Amendment.
The First Amendment may allow one
person to offend others, but it also allows
others to counter speech.

a shame people do not want African

Other students felt the film sep'ed an

about racism in America and about the contributions of blacks in general.
"It was an educational movie. I wasn't

were shocked with what he [Beckwith] got

James Burrell, an African American student, said he felt the movie educated many
students on the history of Black America.
He also said he felt the movie educated

Dear Editor:
On behalf of the music department here
at the University, I would like to take this
opportunity to voice my opinion of some
recent concert behavior. I, and many others
were appalled recently at a piano concert by
Branco Sepcic held at the Price
Performance Center on Wednesday, Feb.
12. I was seated in the back of the auditorium and in front of me was a young man
and lady that deemed it necessary to talk
almost the entire time that the concert was
going on. They did not seem to notice, or
maybe they just ignored, all of the disgusted looks that those of us seated around
them were giving them. Fortunately, these
people left the concert before the encores.
At least we got to enjoy three pieces without a lot of chatter in the background.

some people are so ignorant of proper concert etiquette. I really hope that the next
time there is a performance in Price, or anywhere else on this campus, people who are
planning to attend to socialize rather than to
appreciate the performance for its purpose,
chose to conduct their business elsewhere.
People need to have more respect for
concert performers and those who choose
to attend to enjoy the music! As a music
major, I know how I would feel if, during
one of my performances, some rude person
in the audience ruined the performance for
everyone else in attendance by his or her
endless conversation.
I am sure that
Branko Sepcic did not appreciate it either.
Sincerely,
Melissa Zekan

This is very rude and disrespectful
behavior and 1 am ashamed to think that

Ghosts of Mississippi" is entertaining and a learning experience

instead of attending class on Monday
night I went to the Roxy theater to watch
the free movie sponsored by Lock Haven
University. This did not turn out to be a
free distraction from the stresses of college,
or good free date (except the pwpcorn and
other snacks that were available). This was
stressful since I was stood up for the date
and getting there on time was real stressful
since I almost got a ticket and then stumbled in the dark for the first few minutes
until I found a place to sit. Inside the theater was just about standing room only.
However, after I was in place I was surprised at what I saw. I had never heard of
the movie, and thought that since it was free
it was going to be a documentary or an old
film.
What I saw was a modern big budget
Hollywood production complete with A-list
actors. Please don't get me wrong, if you
like old movies, or documentaries, that is
fine. But I was so entertained I almost forgot I was there to learn something. That
changed when the killing scenes took place
and the children's reactions were shown. I
found the whole production to be moving
and inspirational. After having thought
about the movie, "Ghosts of Mississippi," I
would like to share my thoughts and interpretations about this film with you.
"It has been a long journey." "Ghosts of
Mississippi" was not really about trying a
man for murder in Mississippi. It was

was left to fester for 27 years. The wound
being the death of civil rights leader,
Medgar Evers, and the festering is that ugly
infection called racism.
Throughout the movie, as a viewer, you
are forced to feel the frustration common to
minorities. This is a frustration stemming
from peoples' beliefs that things are not like
they were back in 1963 therefore, every-

The Boring Column
by: Michael Boring
thing is just fine now for minorities. After
all, times are different now. We have integration and equal rights. This may be the
case on the surface, yet very much like
some wounds, racism has healed on the surface while underneath it is rotting. Thus as
much as we would like to think that the present is better than the past in regards to the
plight of minorities; this is not always the
case.
In "Ghosts of Mississippi," the murderer or his victim were not really the main
issue. Rather the point being, that we did
indeed have a society that would gladly turn
its back on justice in support of racism. Yet,
does this mean that justice is now always
served in the advanced and integrated society of today? Of course this is not the case,
how many interracial homicides are never
taken to trial when the minority is the victim?

Here is a for instance to prove the point.
Imagine that an African American girl and
a Caucasian girl were brutally raped and
murdered in separate areas. The question
is, would our modern and integrated police
department X pursue both cases wit'n equal
intensity? One would hojje so, but one
must also agree that there is a strong possibility that the white victim's case would be
more important to solve in the minds of the
police officers of department X.
The point of this brain experiment is
like the movie, as long as that possibility is
so easily agreed upon and demonstrated, it
must be agreed that the wound is festering.
Therefore, it does not matter on the length
of time that passes, the "long journey" in
pursuit of justice is worth it and is absolutely necessary.
I assert that without individuals, like
those portrayed in the movie fighting the
good fight; the wound will eventually kill
the patient (our great multiple ethnic culture). With these kinds of people who are
willing to stand up and fight the good fight
there is hope that someday the wound will
heal with no trace of infection. Only a scar
will remain to remind us to take care of it
and to warn us of the consequences of
racism.

Racial problem solved by understanding
Welcome faithful readers to yet another
edition of Tales from the Hard Side. I am
back with another attack on the athletic
department. (Just kidding. Rumor has it
that the football team wants to sponsor a
Jam the Nagy into a Lx)cker night.) I bring
you a very special edition of Tales from the
Hard Side. Today's article focuses on our
past and our future as people.
February is Black History month and
today is the last day of that special month.
There have been celebrations and programs
all month long here at the University to celebrate Black History month, but I want to
be one of the last people to touch on this
subject.
A very important event in black history
happened 50 years ago. A baseball player
named Jackie Robinson broke through
baseball's "color lines" and became the first
African American to play what was a
"white man's" sport.
The Civil Rights movement of the
1960's is another part of black history. The
Civil War might of freed them of slavery
but it took almost 100 years for African
Americans to get basic civil rights. This
event is only a precursor to what I really
want to talk about this week.
Coming from a small coal region town I
had little to no contact with any black people, let alone another minority. When I
came to the University it was a culture
shock to say the least.
Lx)ck Haven University is a culturally
diverse community. 1 have to admit at
times the stereotypes and rumors clouded
my judgement. There were times when I
was afraid when there was a African
American behind me. I have grown out of
that in my three and a half years here.
I have many friends that are black and of
other races, religions, etc. I have become
culturally diverse. I do not see my friends
as black, white, Indian, Catholic, Jewish,
etc. I see them as Sid, Albert, Rahid, Chris,
Jason and Ben. College is an experience
that I have made the most of.
The world will never be free of bigots,
racists and narrow-minded people. And if

the world will never be free of them what
says Lock Haven University is free of these
types of p)eople? Racism is an ugly side of
human beings and it exists here at Lock
Haven University. Racism boils down to
one simple four letter word: hate.
For some reason, unbeknownst to me,
people just hate other people because of
their skin color, religion, etc. They hate
these people even though they have never
met or talked to an African American or
other minority before. They make their
assumptions from talking to other racists.
It's just another case of the blind leading
the blind.
Another fact of life we have to live with
is Hate Groups.
This is when a
bunch of racists get
together and form a
group.
To my
knowledge there are
no hate groups on
campus here at the
University. This is not saying there are not
any, or will not be one in the future, long
after we have left the bank of the
Susquehanna River to pursue our careers.
Hate is out there and it just keeps growing
like the weed of humanity it is.

Gym and the Intramurals program articles.

become the voice of the seldom
heard students, which happens
to be the majority here on cam- g^f
pus.
SPECIAL SHOUT OUTS
The first shout out I have this
week is for Andy Salamone.
Andy wrestled his first varsity
match last Saturday in front of a
crowd of
1 , 0 0 0
cheering
screaming
fans on senior day at
Thomas Field House.
This was an
amazing feat because
Andy is blind. Andy has been working hard
for four years in the Bald Eagle wrestling
room for his one chance, to wrestle for the
Bald Eagles in a varsity match.
1 was at the match and was carried away
by my emotions when Andy was introduced
and when he scored the first points of his
match.
Even though the scoreboard
showed that Andy lost, everyone in attendance knew he was a winner because of the
size of his heart.
The second shootout goes to the
wrestlers, the soccer team and the baseball
team for their hilarious exchanges at the
Bloomsburg-Lock Haven wrestling match.
Even though these three groups did not win
the grand prize of $75 (which went to

the Hard side
by [hpiS Nagy

I strongly believe that understanding is
the key to this problem. The office for
Human and Cultural Diversity here on campus helps with understanding. They have
many programs throughout the year to help
everyone understand a little more about all
the diverse cultures we have here on campus. Understanding is the first step we all
have to take if we want to end the hate in
our little part of the world.
Black History month is not just for
black people. It is for everyone to learn
about another culture and to learn about the
people we pass everyday on campus. I
believe if we just stop for five minutes
everyday and learn about someone who is
different from us, this campus and this
world would be a better place.

Surfing from your living room
Get ready to start thumbing it. The next
product from the "Couch Potato(e)" market
has already hit the shelves and some of you
may already have one. It's called WebTV
and everybody from six-year-old firstgraders, to 86-year-old elderly people, are
taking advantage of this technology.
WebTV is a box that's shaped somewhat
like a VCR and hooks up to your TV and
phone jack to provide you with immediate
access to the World Wide Web by using just
a simple remote control. No keyboard is
required, or software to install. Just pop in
the cords and pop on the tube just like you
always do and you're set.
Is this another marketing ploy to suck
out more money from Generation X, since
we've been called the TV generation?
Well, surprisingly, one of the biggest markets has been the elderly. They don't have
time or the inclination to learn about computers, so they spend some of their nest egg
on a WebTV. Disabled people have also
taken advantage of this one-thumb method
of browsing the Web.
Why should you get a WebTV? Instead
of having to boot up a computer (five minutes), logging on to Netscape (one minute),
and download a page (? minutes for a grand
total of 6+? minutes), you can turn on your
TV and begin downloading in a matter of

Philips Magnavox has a suggested retail
price of $329 for their WebTV unit, and
Sony markets their unit for $349. That price
is much smaller than the $2500 you would
shell out for a PC.
Now for the cons, and I've only been
able to come up with a few. First, don't plan

$350 bucks, you get quick and easy access
to the World Wide Web; nothing more, nothing less.
,
The ideal situation would be to have
both WebTV and a PC. That way, you can
lounge on your couch and browse during the
commercials (and not miss "Days Of Our
Lives"), and if you see something you want
to save, you can run up to your computer
and download it there. I have yet to meet
someone on this campus with the financial
means to accomplish this ideal, but I guess
that's what ideals are for.
The folks at Sony or Philips Magnavox
would be more than elated to talk it over
with you. Just call Sony at 1-888-772-7669
or Philips Magnavox at 1-888-813-7069
(free plug).
This University has had a pretty good
reputation for having top-of-the-line computer equipment, but I have yet to see a
WebTV on this campus. WebTV is no doubt
a worthwhile educational investment.

Getting Rid of tlie Winter Blues
by Kristy Vanderpool
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Have you ever found yourself experiencing the winter blues, feeling sad, tired or
maybe even a bit depressed? Well, there
may be a reason out there.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a
kind of clinical depression that tends to
occur in the winter months. This is due to
the fact that the days of winter become
shorter and darker. SAD can usually be
diagnosed after one experiences routine
depressive episodes along with depressive
^mptoms.
The basis of this disorder occurs
because one's body produces a chemical
called melatonin which enables a person to
sleep. The darkness of winter causes the
chemical rhythms of melatonin to be thrown
off. Because there is so much darkness to
stimulate melatonin, depression, as well as
sleep disorders occur. In addition to dark-

ness, jet lag and shift work can also cause
one to develop SAD.
Symptoms of SAD may include sadness,
lack of energy, difficulty in awakening and
general depression.
Researchers have found that light therapy helps to counteract depression. In
essence, a light box with rays of 10,000 lux
are used. When the light reaches the eyes, it
stimulates the brain not to produce melatonin. One should not stare directly into the
light source, as simply having the light rays
encompass you is all that is needed. To give
an idea of the strength of a light box at
10,000 lux, there is usually about 10,000 lux
of light on a bright sunny day.
Another combatant of depression is prescription medication given by a doctor.
Usually anti^depressants are prescribed.
If you are concerned that you may be
experiencing symptoms of SAD, contact
your family physician, who can advise you
of the next step to take.

Moore leads women's team with three placed finishes
hy Amy Yarger
Eagle Eye Sports Editor_
While some were worshiping a deity last
Sunday, the Lock Haven University track
and field team prayed to finish their race
with their legs intact and their hearts still in
their chests. Their efforts were not in vain.
LHU had many place winners at the
Kutztown
University
Bear's Den
Invitational.
LHU's men's team boasted nine place
finishers. Starting with Aaron Freed in the
mile. Freed finished sixth with a time of
4:34.
Freed joined Andy Welk in the 500
meters and the two placed third and fourth
respectively.
Freed set a new school record in the 500
meters with a time of 1:08.77. Welk finished in 1:09.19.
The men's team had double place winners in the 400 meters as well. Joe Austin
took second place in a time of 52.04. Jeff

Walker finished in fifth place with a time of
54.18.
Only 0.89 seconds behind the number
one spot, Eric Hess finished sixth in the 200
meters.
The only first place finish of the day was
earned by Ben Steward in the 3000 meters.
Steward literally ran away with the race to
cross the finish line with a time of 8:55.
Matt Ferchalk joined Steward in the
3000 meters by placing third out of the
PSAC runners with a time of 9:09.
Steve Moyer and Alex Sherwood were
also place winners in the 3000 meters, placing fifth and sixth respectively with times of
9:14 and 9:17.
The newest edition to the team, Michael
Bergey, finished third in the shot put with
throw of 46'3 1/2".
The 4 x 400 meters relay team was the
final place winner for the men, finishing
fifth with a time of 3:36.26.
The women's team had several place
winners throughout the day as well.

Daley earns 29 to
end dismal season

by Ryan Czop
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_

Chris Daley led the team with 29 points,
but with no supporting cast, the Bald Eagles
put an end to this dismal season, suffering
an 84-71 loss to host Slippery Rock
University.
The season closed out with a sevengame losing streak, and the hoopsters did
not record a victory in the month of
February. They made it into the playoffs
last year, but this year they never had a
chance.
The team finishes the season 3-9 in the
conference and 6-20 overall. Before the dismissal of Mike Shue, the team was 3-4 in
the PSAC-West and still battling it out for a
playoff berth.
The game was close at the 11:19 mark
during the second half with the Rockets up
by one, 44-43. But the Rock then went on a
12-2 tear, and put the game out of reach for
LHU. The team tried to claw their way back
but could only manage to come within nine
and eventually lose by 13.
"We didn't play as aggressively as I
would have liked," commented Head Coach
Brad Bross, who has just completed his first
year as the skipjjer. "We made some mistakes and we missed a bunch of free
throws."

Daley hit his 29 points on 12-of-24
shooting, and he connected on four-of-six
free throws. Daley closes out his junior
campaign leading the team in points per
game (14.1), assists (100) and steals (41).
He will enter next season needing only 15
points to reach the 1,000 f)oints plateau.
Chad McKinney ended his college
career with a 13 point effort. In his final
season, he averaged 9.6 points and 3.4
rebounds per game. His 62 free-throw
attempts led the team. McKinney leaves the
Haven with 915 career points and 301
rebounds.
"It was a good way for Chad to wrap up
his career for LHU," said Bross. "I'm very
appreciative of his contributions to the program."
Junior Doug Oliver finished the season
with an average of 11.2 points per game and
pulled down 7.2 boards. Forward Dan
Welker averaged 10 points per game in his
third year here at LHU, and led the team off
the boards pulling down 8.3 rebounds per
game.

The first place finish came from Amy
Yarger in the 800 meter. Yarger won the
event with a time of 2:23.
Betsy Moore earned some serious points
for the LHU women's track team by placing
in three events. She finished fifth in the 400
meters (1:03.54), and tied for sixth in the
high jump with a leap of 4' 11".
Moore also finished sixth in the triple
jump with a bound of 33' 8" while also qual-

ifying for the ECAC meet in that event.
Amy Parkes was the last place finisher
for LHU. Parkes leaped away with ? third
place finish in the long jump with a distance
of 15'11 1/2".
Select members of the track team will
travel to Lehigh University this weekend to
compete in the ECAC championships on
Saturday and Sunday.
Good Luck!

Ladies perform well
at the PSAC finals

by Kelly O'Neill
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_

Four Lady Eagle swimmers traveled to
West Chester to compete in the PSAC
championships last weekend.
Katie Bonner, Amber Schmeider, Stacey
Lebo and Missy Tandlmayer performed well
but were only able to capture 11th place out
of 12 comjDeting teams. Having only four
swimmers, Lock Haven was the smallest
team present.
"That's not as good as what we would
have liked," said Head Coach Tom Justice.
"A lot of positive things happened for us
though and we're going to use them to build
on for next year."
All four of the ladies represented
dropped times and broke personal records.
Bonner placed 10th in the 100m breaststroke with a time of 1:11.47, which put her
in the top 10 in the conference. Lebo placed
15th in the 100m breaststroke with a time of

SWIMMING
1:11.92, chopping two seconds off of her
previous time, and placing her in the top
half of the conference.
All of the ladies broke their own personal best records in the 400m medley relay in
Friday's finals, placing eigth with a time of
4:22.01. Lebo set another personal best on
Saturday in the 400m freestyle with a time
of 56.53, helping the team place ninth in the
competition.
Although it was not the end of a season
that the team desired, the ladies worked
hard and were not disappointed. "It was a
learning experience, and I hope to make it
there next year," remarked Schmeider.
Justice was positive about the season.
He commented, "This year's team was a
great group of young ladies with great attitudes. They have a strong work ethic, and
they will be much stronger next year
because of all they have accomplished."

Jackie Robinson earned his respect
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
History is a funny thing at times. When
an event takes place, nobody knows if it
will be a part of history or even if it would
be remembered a week from when it happens. On April 15, 1947, an event took
place which everyone would remember and
knew that it would make history and have a
greater impact on American society than
World War II.
Jack Roo.sevelt Robinson stepped on to
the green grass of Ebbets Field on the afternoon of April 15, 1947, wearing number 42
for the Brooklyn Dodgers. What was so
amazing about this fact was that Robinson
was a black man. No other AfricanAmerican had ever played Major League
Baseball before that afternoon.

three quality players go down to injury.
Also with the end of this season, comes
the end of an era. An era which saw Head
Coach Frank Scarfo build and rebuild winning teams. Scarfo resigned this season
after compiling a 161-141 record over his
11 -year career.
His coaching career here at LHU is highlighted by five playoff appearances, including three NCAA Division II "Sweet
Sixteen" births. Scarfo's 161 wins are the
most of any LHU women's basketball
coach. He also directed LHU basketball
camps that attract between 500 and 600 girls
each year. The new coach will be determined at a future time but a replacement for
Coach Scarfo may never be found.
Often referred to as the Dean of the
PSAC, Scarfo put together a fine tradition at
LHU that promises to only get better.
Congratulations go out to the seniors this
year:
Shannon Bowers, Meredith
McKnight, Amy Nickles, and Cheri
Zameroski, on a fine season, and good luck
to those who will be looking forward to next
season.

.342.
Robinson was inducted into the
Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. He died ten
years later.
By donning that uniform of the Dodgers
in 1947, Jackie led the way for integration in
professional sfwrts. By breaking the color
barrier in baseball, America's most popular
sport at the time, Robinson courageously
challenged the deeply routed custom of
racial segregation in both the North and the
South. Major League Baseball has planned
many events to commemorate this historic
event, the 50th anniversary, all season long.
Jackie Robinson will always be remembered for two things, the breaking of the
color barrier and being an outstanding baseball player. Jackie once said, "I'm not concerned with you liking or disliking me... All
I ask is that you respect me as a human
being." He has earned and deserved that
respect.

leers end season on winning skate
12 Eagle Eye Friday, February 28,1997

by Peter Kane
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter
Lock Haven's ice hockey club played
two games this past weekend to end their
dissappointing 3-7 season in which off-ice
matters often overshadowed the plays that
took place on the ice.
California University was the opponent
for the Bald Eagles on Saturday night as the
team traveled to Connelsville for their final
road game of the season. The team jumped
out quickly to a 4-1 lead as Bryan Russo,
Daryl Jones, Brian McKenzie and Alan
Desris all tallied goals.
Things seemed to get worse for the
team as California scored three straight,
including the tying goal which was scored
on a penalty shot, to lock the game up at
four. Goalie Ron Snyder played exceptionally well making 30 saves, despite being
struck in the head by a high slapshot late in
the second period.
In the third period. Lock Haven could
not convert on any of their scoring chances
and took penalties at crucial times in the
game. Josh Swartley's slashing penalty
with five minutes to play enabled
California to take the lead on the insuing

power play.
California added a late goal that was
deflected past Snyder to seal the win and
hand Lock Haven their seventh and what
would be their final loss of the season by a
score of 6-4.
Pitt-Johnstown traveled to the Sunbury
Ice Arena on Sunday night to be a part of the
final game of the season for LHU, and the
game turned out to be one of the most exciting of the season.
Bryan Russo scored a hat trick, including the game winner with six minutes
remaining, to give Lock Haven an exciting
5-4 victory and their third win of the season.
LHU was losing 2-1 in the third period
when Russo netted two goals in thirty seconds to give the Bald Eagles a 3-2 lead.
Daryl Jones found the back of the net three
minutes later to give the team a two goal
lead on an assist from Brian "Gump" Boyer.
The lead was quickly taken away as UPJ
scored two goals of their own in a minute,
including a power play goal, to tie the game
again at four a piece with only seven minutes remaining in the contest.
Lock Haven took the lead back for good
just thirty seconds later when Russo picked
up a Josh Swartley clearing pass, skated

around two defensemen, and put a shot
between the legs of the UPJ goal tender to
give the Bald Eagles a 5-4 victory.
Russo commented on his game winning
goal by saying, "I didn't even see the puck
go in. Bounces went my way tonight and
the puck finally started going in. It might
not have been a high-light goal, but it went
in, we won the game and that is all that matters."
Ron Snyder put in another impressive
performance in goal by making 26 saves,
while stopping key shots at crucial
moments. Brian McKenzie commented on
the win saying, "It's nice to end the season
this way, but we should have done a lot better this year."
Lock Haven ended their season at fifth
place in the Western Pennsylvania
Collegiate Hockey Association despite having the second lowest budget in the league
as well as being the only team in the league
without their own ice arena. LHU must
travel to State College and Sunbury for
practices and home games and must compete with four other teams for ice time.
Despite all the adversity, player-coach Steve
Hyjurick feels that, "this tream has
enough talent to make the playoffs, but we

don't get enought ice time nor do v/e have
enough money to get really seriouf about
our program. Until something changes,
we'll be mediocre at best."
LHU has played in the WPCHA for five
years and has put up respectable numbers
for a team that does not have many of the
necessities to field a stong ice hockey program.
