The plan calls for each residence hall to have a lab with one IBM AT, which is a file saver, and four smaller XT's , smaller computers that have access to the AT. Each lab will also have a printer. The lab in McEntire is die pilot of die lab program. Renovations to the room which will be the lab should be completed by die end of March. Don Patterson, who works in the computer lab in Akeley and is in charge of die hook-up in McEntire, hopes that die lab will be available for student use by midApril. The remaining buildings will be targeted for the fall semester as funding al- lows. James H. McCormick, chancellor of die State System, plans to be at McEntire for die grand opening of the lab. McCormick started the program several mondiS ago when he had the computer hardware in his offices replaced by updated equipment Over Christmas break LHU received die used equipment. McCormick said LHU could have the computers at a low cost if diey would be made available for student use. McCormick suggested that the equipment might best be used if placed in die dorms where it would be readily accessible to students. Ray Steele, Resident Director of McEntire, thinks die lab is a "great idea" and that it will give students more opportunity to work with computers. Overall, LHU received 28 computers from the chancellor's office. Patterson said that the machines will be like "another complete lab only divided up between die seven dorms." Patterson also says that woric on a fiber optic system is scheduled to begin as soon as the weadier warms. The cable will be laid underground and plans for excavation have already been made. Planners would like the system to be hooked up to Stevenson library by way of an auuxnated card catalog. This way the system would allow students access the library as well as to computers all over campus. Students would eventually have a computer network at their fingertips without having to leave the dorm. "It's a great plan but it will not be completed for years to come", said Patterson. Students are also optimistic about the computer labs. Mike Way, a freshman living in McEndre, said, "The lab will be a major dme saver because now we won't have to walk down the steps to Ihe labs in Akeley every time we need to use a computer."

Although rumors have been circulating around campus about die master key being stolen. Head of Maintenance, Dave Proctor, wasn't positive if diis was tine, so all locks were changed. Widi new locks. Proctor feels the dcmnitories will be more secure and die students wUI feel safer. Dr. Linda Koch, Vice-President of Student Affairs, said the students were not informed of diis change because it was done so quickly and because of the concem for student safety. Koch su-ongly feels that thc residence halls will have better control over students and security with the new locks. "We want to make students feel safe," said Koch. With die help of two hall directors, and three student resident assistants, Steve Infanti, Jim McFarland, and Terry Banks, the "Best Lock Company" was able to finish the change of locks within four days. At diis time no one has a master key, but eventually Dr. Linda Koch, the Dean of Students, and Carol Latronica will each keep one in a retainer box. The master key will remain in these boxes until needed and will not be carried by eidier of diesc individ-| uals. Koch and Proctor feel diat die locks being changed will tighten security in the dormitories and was a needed change. Koch said, "Wc want to stress die safety issue. Safety should be a top priority." "The more you laugh, die longer you live," claimed comedian Steve Shaffer. If that's tme, die life expectancies of many LHU students lengthened Wednesday night when Shaffer brought his unique brand of comedy to Price Auditorium.

Friday, March 22,1991 Eagle Eye 5 FEATURES Health corner: College can be the perfect breeding ground for STD's By Jeanne M. Ruczhak Associate Editor Sex. This little word can mean many things to many people. Some people feel it is an expression of deep love. Some people view it as a few moments of physical pleasure. Others, however, consider it to be the cause of pain and anxiety. These people suffer from STDs. STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) arc usually spread dirough sexual activity. STDs are sheading fast with 13 million Americans being infected each year. Not counting AIDS, 7000 die each year. Why is this important for college students particularly? Statistics show that most cases involve people under 30 years of age! Many symptoms are not easily recognized. A common symptom of STDs is painful urination, abdominal pain, fever or painful joints. Sometimes symptoms may not even appear, especially in women. Such is the case with Chlamydia. About 10% of men and 80% of women have no noticeable symptoms. Statistics show however diat 3 million people a year are stricken. It is caused by a virus-like bacterium and infects the reproductive organs. Women taking oral contraceptives seem more at risk dian Uiose not. It is transmitted by contact with Uie vagina, moudi, eyes, urethra or rectum of an infectedperson. Symptoms are usually pain and discharge but can also include (for women) longer and heavier periods, tiredness, weakness, fever and nausea. If not treated, sterility in both genders is a possibility, as is tubal pregnan- cy m women. The leading STD, Chlamydia is two to three times more common than gonorrhea. There are about 800.(XX) cases of Gonorrhea reported each year in America. Also caused by bacteria, it is spread during sexual contact and cannot be picked up from toilet seats and towels and other inanimate Objects. Symptoms do not always occur. If diey do, they usually appear three days to three weeks after sexual contact with an infected person. Males may experience a whitish discharge and a burning sensation during urination. Females may experience both as well as abnormal menstruation and abdominal pain or tenderness. Even if these symptoms do occur, they may disappear in a few weeks but die disease is still present. If left untreated, die results could be die same as diose for Chlamydia. An additional result is infections which damage heart tissue and joints in both genders. Herpes is another common STD. It is a painful infection affecting millions. The main age group is 18 to 35 for first-time occurrences. It is caused by the Herpes Virus. It can be contracted through sexual intercourse or other contact with an active lesion. The symptoms are the same for both genders. Two to 10 days after being infected, one may experience pain, sores, flu-like symptoms and swollen glands. Women need be especially cautious. Studies show women with genital herpes may have a higher risk of developing cervical cancer. As a precaution, infected women should have an annual PAP test Herpes can have serious complications, such as autoinoculation, that is, thc spreading to other body parts. "If a person has Herpes in the form of oral herpes or genital herpes, fastidious handwashing is necessary to prevent autoinoculation," said Nancy Panko, R.N. of thc Glennon Infirmary. She sited washing hands before putting in or taking out contact lenses as an example. If the eyes become infected, blindness can occur. Herpes cam also recur. Although scientists do not know exacdy why this is, the Information Center on Herpes Disease cites stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, too much sun or wind, sexual relations or even friction from tight jeans or leotards or spandex. With more than 85,000 cases reported each year, SyphUis is also (::ausing much irritation. It is caused by an cxgaiiism that moves through skin or mucous membranes and into die bloodstream. Aldiough it can spread by skin contact, it is almost always transmitted sexually. One of thc most dangerous STDs, Syphilis comes in three stages. Symptoms of the Hrst stage (one to 12 weeks after contact) are chancre sores. Painless, they may last up to five weeks. The symptoms of the second stage ( one to six months) are rashes, enlarged lymph nodes, fever and a sore throat. Three years or more is die third stage at which time one may experience ulcers, loss of feeling in limbs and pain and disability due to damage to heart, blood vessels, spinal cord and/or thc brain. If left untreated, damage to the heart, spinal cord and brain is possible. It is estimated that one out of every two women will have a vaginal infection at some point Vaginitis obviously is an inflammation of die female genitals; however, it can be carried by males! Vaginal infections can be acquired sexually (X can arise spontaneously. Associated with vaginal infections are excess moisture and heat (such as: bathing suits, synthetic underwear, spandex), changes in body chemistry (such as: antibodies, birUi control pills, diabetes) and the use of chemicals (such as: deodc»^nt tampons, bubble baths, lubricated condoms). The three most common vaginal infections are yeast infections (caused by yeast fungus), trichomonas "trich" vaginitis (caused by a microscopic organism) and bacterial vaginitis (caused by a bacillus). Thc symptoms for all three arc simdar. Frequent and painful urination, vaginal itching and an abnormal discharge may be experienced. Women may not notice any symptoms while for men there arc few, if any. Urinary tract infections also occur primarily in women. Caused by bacteria, it can occur without sexual contact. A urinary tract infection is an infection in the urinary system (that is, kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra). Treated with antibodies, the symptoms are burning during urination, frequent need to urinate, fever and pain in the lower abdomen. Odier common STDs include genital warts, which affects three million men and women annually, scabies and pediculosis pubis (crabs). STDs can be prevented. To prevent a STD, have sex widi a faithful partner, use a latex condom with a spermicide, urinate immediately before and after sex and wash genitals before and right after sexual contact STDs can be treated and/or controlled. Most are treated with antibodies or other drugs. Only one, AIDS, has no known cure. Next week: AIDS Campus minister leads discussion on women and faith The Rev. Deborah Casey, thc Protestant campus minister at Lock Haven University, will lead a discussion on women and faith at thc Lock Haven University Parsons Union Building Coffeehouse Tuesday, March 26 at 3:15 p.m. Entided "Keepers of the Covenant Women and Faith," Casey's lecture will focus on women in Judeo-Christian history and how their faith informed and shaped their lives.

"It's going to be tough diis year with such a young team," said Coach Fisher. "We are not going to be as strong as last year, but we shoidd be pretty decent" With such a young team, Fisher must depend on quality performances from his young talent. Two players in particular are Sophomore Frank Resato, and Freshman Dan Miller. Both will be playing varsity (die top six) this year. The Bald Eagle tennis team is scheduled to compete in 12 conference matches this year, the first one being away versus Cheyney Wednesday, March 27 Of die 12 PSAC conference teams Coach Fisher feels that the toughest opponents will be Indiana (PA), West Chester, Edinboro, Shippensburg, Kutztown, and Juniata. Fisher feels confident diat his team can easily defeat the remaining six teams. They include Cheyney, Slippery Rock, St Francis, Lycoming, East Stroudsburg, and Sesquehanna. This year was die first year that the men's tennis team had fall practice. They also competed in a match against PSU in the fall. Fisher plans to schedule three or four matches next fall to go along widi die practice schedule. The tennis team started in the fall with 26 players, but due to personal [Hoblems, and conflicting attitudes with Coach Fisher die team now is made up of a 14 man roster. "Thc 14 guys on die team are die cream of die crop," said Fisher, "They are die ones diat I want to work widi the most. I am happy with the team I have." "We might not have die best season at LHU," added Fisher, "but I'm looking forward to a winning season, and I am overwhelmed with die positive attitude of the team. This will be one of my best seasons as a coach." Recendy Fisher became a member of die Inner Collegian Tennis Coach Association. 'The rrCA Icu our team compete in toumaments (like Hilton Head) throughout die nation," said Fisher. "It is an elite membership." the NCBA was formed in the mid 70's. Dr. Ken Cox started up die new era of LHU boxing in 1978 after a highly successful career as a wresding coach. Last year the Bald Eagles advanced six boxers to the National finals at die University of Santa Clara (CA) where Dave Machamer won the 119 pound national tide, and Manny Rose won his second title at 165-pounds. Machamer was a national runner-up at 125-pounds in 1989. The Bald Eagles fmished third in the team r^e behind the U.S. Air Force Academy, who won the team tide, and PSU who finished a surprising second. In 1989 die Bald Eagles tied for second widi Army, for their best finish ever. Machamer, a junior, is back again trying to eam his third trip to nationals, while Rose has moved on to pursue a shot at making the 1992 Olympic Team via die USA/ABF qualifying toumaments. Machamer and Scott Asher, 190, are die only LHU boxers with any national toumament experience. Both have qualified to box in the regional qualifier this season. Even widiout much national toumament experience, the Bald Eagles, led by veteran Coach Cox, have a good nucleus of experienced upperclassmen with the potential to advance to Reno in pursuit of national tities. Included in this group are junior Dan DeMilio, 139; junior Dewayne Bryant, 180; and 220 pound Heavyweight sophomore Mike Lyons. Demilio (3-3) has boxed at 147 most of the season, and is cutting down to 139 for the Regionals. Bryant is currendy undefeated (7-0) this season and has elected to stay at 180 to challenge 1989 national champion, Mike Hoos from Army for the Regional titie. Lyons is also unbeaten (3-0) this season widi all of his victories coming via first round referee stops contest. Novice Boxers, Don Buckley, 112; Jimmy Torres, 125; and Rob Noll, 147; have all been elevated to "open" status for die regional qualifier and will be underdogs in the open division. Lock Haven has qualified eight boxers to perform in die qualifying toumament Seven Bald Eagle boxers will also box "novice" bouts of Friday evening. Included in this group are Son Doan, 112; Steve Cunningham, 119; Steve Kramer, 139; Todd McQuiellcn, 147; Dusty Durand, 156; John Pierro, 156; and Tirso Vails, 165. Twenty-eight boxers will compete in thc "open" qual^ying toumament whde 16 boxers wUI compete in "novice" bouts. As usual die "big-diree", LHU (8), Army (8), and PSU (7) will lead die pack in die "open" division. 1 \2 pounds The huge favorite in this class is LHU's rangy Don Buckley. Buckley stopped (RSC-1) Haugh at Gettysburg College in early February. Buckley had a much tougher time in his own gym versus teammates Son Doan and Steve Cunningham than he will in Regionals. Cunningham also stopped Haugh in the 2nd round at die PSU Invitational in February. There is a lack of experience in this weightclass. 119 pounds Defending national champion Dave Machamer, 5-1 this season, has been boxing up at 125 and 132 pounds to get good competition. It could be a walk-over unless Jack Giaro (Westfield) decides to challenge. Machamer is ranked #1 in the nation, and should have no trouble repeating! He has developed into one of the premier boxers in die NCBA. Dave Machamer, las't years National Champion at 119-pounds, prepares to defend his crown tonight and tomorrow in the Thomas 125 pounds The finals Saturday night should pit PSUs classy Walter Blake against r£q)idly improving Bald Eagle Jimmy Torres. Blake desicioned (2-1) Machamer earlier in thc year, whUe die rangy Torres is 1-2 with all his bouts up at 132 and 139. Torres, a sophomore from Reading, PA, has excellent potential, and should develop into a top collegiate boxer. However, Blake , a junior transfer from PSU is believed to have too much experience for Torres. This is a tough weightclass, both boxers could be national contenders. 139 pounds LHU's Dan DeMilio has dropped from 147, and will be challenged by Army's Reyno Arrendo. Should be the championship bout on Saturday night Bodi boxed well this season. PSU's Jay Neville will challenge. The winner of this weightclass should do well at the national level.

Unfortunately, there is not enough people to put in every event Individually, however, diere have been some impressive results. Some of thc best mnners in the conference auend Lock Haven and the team has a bright future because of diis. The veterans are going to carry die team far this year. Leading the team is team captain Steve RecsCT. Reeser is expected to be one of the top 800 meter mnners in thc country in this event He nearly qualified for the NCAA division II Indoor Championships and coach Elliston said diat he is defimtely better mnning outdoors dian indoors.

Yingling is one of the premier Hqjtathletes in the conference. There are many other veterans who are expected to be conference leados. Chne such individual is Jimmy Rickett in the High Jump. Rickett is expected lo do very well if not win the conference. Chris Cassel and Ron McMichael are the team leaders fot the distance mnners.

He is expected to set the school recOTd in both die 5000 meter and die 10000 meter mn. Bo Thurman and Dirk Weaver lead die Eagles in the Sprinting category. Coach Elliston said that "both have real good speed and will surprise in conference meets." Their main events arc the 1(X) and 200 meter dashes. For thc women, there are duee other outstanding veterans that have high expectations for this coming season. One is Patti Smoker, who competes in thc High Jump. She placed third in the conference and is expected to do better in the outdoor season. Tracy Trapp is both a jumper and a Heptathlete. Trapp has gready improved since last season and is very talented and strong. She placed second in the conference in the Triple Jump and is expected to do extremely well in the outdoor season. Pan Sheppard leads the women in the distance events. Coach Elliston feels that she is "a good mnner widi great potential. Things will work out well if she continues to work hard." There are also four freshman on the team who have outstanding prospects for dieir collegic track career. Glen Allison is a top 800 High Jumper that was recraited from Philadelphia. He was the Indoor conference champion in the High Jump and is being converted in to being a Decadilete. Steve Krauitz is slated to run the 400 meter dash and any relay event that has an opening. Coach ElUston has said that "if he continues to work hard, he can be one of die top mnners in the conference." Kristi Oberst was a star in the 800 meter dash during the indoor season. Her times arc expected to drqi dramatically and she is to achieve a time in the low 2:20's by thc end of the season.

In conclusion. Coach ElUston said that he "expects several school records to be broken this year. I beUeve that we will have a good number of conference champions this year." Correction In the March 8,1991 issue of thc Eagle Eye, the headline for the Track and Field article read "Greg AlUson" where it should have read "Glen AlUson." Sorry, Glen. The Bald Eagle Men's and Women's outdoor brack team poses with Head coach Maik ElUston. (Photo by Shawn Liddick). B o x i n g continued from page 9 147 pounds PSU's John Woods is the favorite. He will be challenged by LHUfreshmanRob Noll (1-2) who is dropping down from 156, and possibly Army's Mike Kenny. There is alack of experience at this weightclass. 180 pounds Perhaps the toughest weightclass! Army's Mike Hoos won the national championship at 172 in 1989, and LHU's Dewayne is currendy 7-0 this season. Hoos decisioned LHU's Scott Asher at die NY AC back in early November, dien was upset by Navy's Tom Coss at the DTAC in New York late November. Bryant is a veteran who has boxed internationally in both Jamaica (1989) and Barbados (1990) Regionals because he was on as exchange to the USSR. Bryant has stopped (RSC-1) PSU's Bob Schrif twice this season. Schirf and Kyle wiU be darkhorses. Toss-up weight, with winner expected to be a national finalist 190 pounds LHU's Scott Asher, a 1990 national runner-up at this weight will be challenged by Army's John Drohan. It should be a body contested bout. Westfield's Mike Baker will not box in the "open" division. Winner should be competitive at the national level. Asher has shown much improvement diis season. Heavyweight Four better dian average heavyweights are entered. LHU's Mike Lyons is a sUght favorite, but will receive a stiff challenge from Army's Chris Smith. PSU's Sedi Lyter and Gettysburg's John Mautz all have upset potentiial. Lyons is currentiy 3-0 this season, with both Lyter and Mautz widi one loss each. Smith is Army's Brigade champion. Tlie winner of this competitive weight class should be competitive at thc national level. Lyons has excellent hand speed and can develop into an outstanding heavyweight The "top" weight classes appear to be 119, 125, 132, 156, and 180 widi 139, 172, and 190 good weights. Heavy weight could be a surprise. There is no team titie awarded at the NCBA Regional level, widi all emphasis on individual accomplishment. Medals are given to the individual champion and runner-up in each weight class along with an "outstanding boxer" selected by the referee's and judges. Coach Cox and his assistant Ken Cooper believe diis could be one of the best regional teams we put together in the past 12 years or so. The Bald Eagles have been training hard since last September, and are about as ready as they'll ever be, said Cox. We have a great group of highly motivated young men, and they were wUUng to make the necessary sacrifices it takes to be competitive. I have every reason to believe we wiU be competitive and weU prepared for die Regional Qualifier, added Cox. Perhaps Bryant's attitude best describes diis team. He wants to Box Mike Hoos, accepting the challenge of going up against the best At LHU we have always stressed individual accomplishment. Cox stated. The only negative is that if either Dewayne OT Mike woidd have gone down to 172 it would have sbcngthened our region, but I have always encouraged my boxers to determine dieir own destiny. I can't fault Dewayne for making his decision, concluded an optimistic Dr. Cox. The doors open at 6 p.m. both Friday and Saturday, with thc bouts starting at 7:30. p.m. Admission is $3 (adults); $2 (students) both nights with $4 reserved seats on Saturday night. Friday, March 22, 1991 Eagle Eye 11 Sports Sports Baseball Team looks good this year By Rob Heller Eagle Eye Sports Editor Nice Swing! Sophomore outfielder Bob Miller takes a few practice swings in the Thomas Fieldhouse. (Photo by Shawn Liddick The LHU Men's Baseball got into die swing of things over spring break playing five games in Virginia from March 9 to March 13. The Bald Eagle batmen recorded a 0-5 record during their stay in Virginia battUng two very tough teams. They were scheduled to play 8 games versus six different teams, but due to rain and just plain bad weather the btmen only managed five games. "Wc were 0-5 down in Virginia," said head coach Lefty Lovelace. "Wc only got five games in, and we played die toughest two teams." The two teams Coach Lovelace referred to are Hampton Sydney and Lynchburg. Thc Bald Eagles lost their three games widi Hampton Sydney 5-4, 9-6, 13-3. The Lynchburg scores were 10-9,6-5. "Wc were in every game down dieir except that one against Hampton Sydney," said Lovelace. "The wheels came off diat game, we couldn't do anything right." "The last game we lost in die ninth inning", added Lovelace. "One out nobody on base, and a guy who never hit a homemn in his life hit a homemn. What are you going to do?" Lovelace also felt diat it is hard to win when you fall behind. "It's twice as hard to play baseball when your behind," said Lovelace. "When you don't get off to a lead every body knows what your going to (to." Lynchburg had the Bald Eagles down 7-0, but LHU battied back to tie it up before losing in die nindi to diat fluke HR. Thc batmen lost two of dieir games in die nindi inning. With all diings considered. Coach Lovelace was very pleased with his team's performance. "Our hitting was real good down their (Virginia) , the pitching was good outside of one or two games, and the defense was good," says Lovelace. "The reason we lost was that we always had a lapse, we gave up a four mn inning in every game, that's what killed us." Coach Lovelace was particularly pleased with the performance of his two freshman pitcho^ Brett Stehr, and Rob Wright On the trip the team was led by Greg Heverly who hit .600, Mike Signor who batted .444 widi a HR and four RBI. Brian Naylor hit .438 widi a double and four RBI while Neil Emory Batted .389 with seven hits and two RBI. " Over all we lons for RHA Executive posltkins will be held April 8.
