He spoke of a man with such

Perna firmly believed in

Wilt said. The actual messages
of the dietary supplement promotions are increasing the

According to Melissa Myers,

Those interviewed said that the
main reasons for taking supplements is to gain strength, build

With regard to the survey,
Bryan Wilt, professor of

Chavez in a chokehold appeared
in the Hornet, along with stories
about the arrest and concerns
about violence on campus.
"This event occurred in a stadium filled with about 15,000
people," Sommers' attorney,
Jacqueline R. Kinney, told
Bakarich, arguing that the defense could have found alternative sources for the information
they want from the newspaper.
But Franco said efforts to find
witnesses were "not fruitful."
Kinney and Sommers also
thought they had state law on
their side. They argued that the
student newspaper was protected
under California's "shield law,"
which allows news gatherers to
refuse to divulge their sources.
But in ruling in favor of
Franko, Bakarich said the Hornet's unpublished material was
not confidential under state law
and that Chavez had a greater
right to the unpublished information. He did, however, limit the
scope of information the newspaper would have to hand over to
Chavez' arrest.

State University at Sacramento's
student newspaper said Wednesday that he hasn't decided
whether to comply with a judge's
orders to turn over unpublished
notes and photographs of an ar-

rest on campus.

David Sommers, editor-inchief of The State Hornet, must
decide by Dec. 17 whether to
submit the material or face going
to jail. A defense attorney for 21year-old Gustavo Chavez, who
was arrested during a Sept. 18
football game, wants the unpublished notes, photographs and
names of people interviewed.
Without them, defense attorney
Lisa M. Franco insists Chavez
won't get a fair trial.
"This information is compelling," Franco told Superior
Court Gerald S. Bakarich. "It
will show he is not guilty."
But Sommers maintains the
material should not be handed
over.
"We would be turning over
evidence for law enforcement,
and that is not the role of the
newspaper," he said. "If we go
into reporting a story and our
sources realize that we have at
any time in history turned over
unpublished film or notes to the
courts, we'll have a bias on our
heads that will never go away.

gun in shooting
Thirteen-year-old Seth Trickey who shot and injured five classmates in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma, used a gun owned by his father and
officials said they still have no motive from the boy.
The 9mm semiautomatic was purchased in 1993 said Fort Gibson
Police Chief Richard Slader. Trickey's father is a high-ranking administrator in the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs Office nearby.
Trickey's parents are refusing to let authorities interview their son.
He was placed in a Muskogee County juvenile detention facility
pending a hearing next Tuesday.
Friends and classmates say they don't understand why this boy
would do this. "Ideal is the word that comes to mind to describe him
and his family," said Fort Gibson Mayor Bob Peebles.

Homeless couple charged in
warehouse fire

A homeless couple was charged with manslaughter in connection
with the fire that killed six firefighters in Worcester, Mass.
Officials say that the fire started after a candle was knocked over
during an argument between the two. Julia Barnes, 19, and Thomas
Levesque, 37, have been living together for several months on the
second floor of the abandoned warehouse.
The couple unsuccessfully tried to put out the blaze themselves,
then ran from the scene without reporting.

While I'm sure they mean well, some
universities are actually aiding and ah By offering televised courses. Sure, relying on the
boob-tube for higher education (How ironic!) has its benefits.
Students wanting to take two classes offered at the same time can attend one and
videotape the other to watch at a more convenient time. And if they're sick — or hungover as the case may be — they can watch
their class and take notes in bed.
But then there are people like Corey
Williams, a student at Northern Arizona University who said he has taken eight televised
courses and considers them "great for lazy
people." He's not the only one who thinks
that. Plenty more are enrolled in one communications course at NAI I.
About 200 students arc signed up for the
televised class, but only 20 show up on any
given day. (So much for class discussion.)
It's probably no coincidence that the class is
held three days a week at 8 a.m. — and that
nobody shows because they stayed up too
late thc night before because they knew they
could just tape the class anyway.
I know. I know. Students who fare poorly in televised courses have only themselves
to blame. And there are plenty who know
who they are.
Of the 200 students enrolled in the afore

mentioned class, 60 ofthem are failing, according to the grading sheets posted outside

Even more frustrating is that some classes aren't as good as they could be because

they're poorly attended. Whatever happened

Somehow it doesn't seem fair for universities to let some students slide while others sit

HUD filing law suit
to make guns safer
On behalf of the three million people who live in public housing
developments, the White House and the Department of Housing and
Urban Development are planning a law suit against gun makers.
The move against gun makers is aimed at forcing a settlement in
the hopes of putting added pressure on the way the gun industry
makes and markets weapons.
In a typical year, more than 500 murders take place among the
largest housing projects and 70 percent of them involve the use of
firearms.

The quote above, is one in which I'm hoping to begin living my
life by. You see, I'm the type of person who is scared to death of
making a fool out of myself and looking like a complete idiot. I'm
afraid that people will not like me or will think what I have to say is
stupid. When I'm in an academic setting, I don't feel this way because I'm very confident in my abilities, but put me in a social situation and a whole other person emerges. This fear holds me back.
Recently, I've been holding very deep conversations with some
ofmy very best friends and we have decided that if I don't begin to
break out ofthis shell I'm going to regret it years down thc road. And
I know I will.

Tomorrow afternoon, the lives of hundreds of students will drastically change as they walk through one of the most anticipated
events of their college career: graduation. Not many other events
will ever compare or be as frightening as graduation, except maybe
your wedding or the birth of a child.
For me. I still have one more semester before I take that walk, but
the idea of graduating is one of the things that keeps pushing me to

ARRIV EDERCI
Last weekend, while watching the sun set behind the Piazza
de San Marco in Venice, I
thought about how I could write
my last column without sounding like an actor accepting an oscar: "I'd like to thank my family,
my agent and fashion designer,
and of course, the academy." I
don't think there are too many
people shedding tears over the
fact that due to my graduation on
Sunday, this column's weekly
appearance on page five will be

gone.
Unless there's some tickertape parade down N. Fairview
planned for my return from Europe that I don't know about, I
won't bore you with "thank
yous" to people you most likely
don't know. So instead, let me
just tell you about Venice. To
start off, it is arguably the most
beautiful place in the world according to many books.

there however, and all arguments
will swing towards Venice's fa-

vor.
Thc pace of life slows down

as you get closer to the Italian island, preparing you for a city
that seems to have been locked
in a time capsule.
Traffic jams and smog are
replaced by gondolas easing up
and down the canals and the
smell of Italian cuisine mixing
with salty air from the Adriatic
Sea. There are no signs of fast
food chains like McDonalds and

Burger King and everything appears like it does in paintings,

free from almost everything

Smart vs shady
by: Jaime Patton
Where did this semester go?

We are on the brink of the end of
fall 1999 and about to break into spring 2G's!!! Hopefully everyone will enjoy their break
with family and or friends and
won't let your grades get you
down, if you didn't achieve
what you expected to.

This is the first for the second edition of Patton's Perspective but next semester it will be
taken from Ronda, Spain where
I will be studying.
But first let me clear up
some of thc things that have gotten back to me about my taking

this excursion to Spain and doing it so abruptly.
I will openly say that this is
something that I wanted to do
and I encourage everyone to do
it if you have the opportunity,
which all of us at LHU have.
I was rapping (talking) to my
best friend here at LHU and after laughing at such a comment,

IE

H
H

mmm

he reinforced something that I
was taught earlier in life. That is
that a man has to come to a point
when he will have to leave all the
comforts of home and make decisions for himself. When he
comes out of whatever it is, he is
a better man than before...a man

and I thank Eric for that.

Another one of the com-

asments thrown at me and
sume his text for the week was

"that is just shady" and thus, my
topic: "Smart vs. Shady"
First, let me put us on common definition of these two
words. Shady, we will work with
thc definition of: quiet, dark or
concealed; hidden. As for Smart
we will work with: characterized
by sharp, quick thought and
bright.
Let me give you a scenario.
We all know about Black Friday,
the Friday after Thanksgiving
when there are lots ofsales in the
stores. I was really not into it. but

Meal Deal

my mother took me with her this
year and we went to Wal-Mart at
at six o'clock that morning.
While I am in the back of the
car thinking that my mom and
uncle are crazy for getting up
this early to go shopping, we pull
up in front of Franklin Mills and
I sec hundreds of people with
carts full of items that they just
bought lor a good deal. It blew
my mind away.
As I entered the store my
mom asked me to get a cart because there were none left in thc
store. After losing one to a much
older black lady who told me
"you gonna have to beat me to
that one nicka," I found one.
Of course, after we went in
my mom saw someone from the
church who informed us that she
was in thc line for forty-five
minutes and still was about ten
minutes away from the checkout.
After thinking about it, I told
my mom that I would hold onto

a pair of shorts and wait in line

while she continued to shop.
That was exactly what we did
and we were out of the store in a
little under an hour. Now, you
decide, was standing in the line
smart or shady?
In the words of Dr. Jamal
Bryant, who was here a week
and a half ago, "You are still not
with me...let me bring you a little closer."
A student came here about
three and a half years ago from
inner city Philadelphia. He was
an athlete and just wanted to
make ends meal without being a
financial burden on his family.
He put down some things and
began to use his resources, thus
making him a more astute person. This student, that was

raised in North Philadelphia all
of his life was given the opportunity to achieve any and all ofhis
goals that he really wanted to accomplish before arriving to the
University. His mother made
sure that he had the ample preparation, bussing him to the better
school in the Northeast.
But this student had a hunger
to succeed and decided that no
one could stop him from doing
so but himself. So, he met up
with thc right students and was
taught how to utilize his resources. And that's what he did.
This student, the one that
never left the city for more than
a day before the age of 17, has
now traveled throughout the
United States and has made numerous contacts along the way.
This student is versed in many
different types of settings and is
capable of facilitating workshops and he emphasized that his
peoples aren't too heavy.
Meanwhile, on the way to
where he is today, he has carried
a legacy on his shoulders. He
took heavy criticism, mostly
bad. But, he turned the other
cheek. He has kept the minority
student issues right smack in the
face of the administration.
He worked hard for everything that he has done...making
allies are not easy to do especially when you are on a level of
your own and you can not tell
everything at any given time.
Throughout his tenure here at

the University, he helped form
two organizations that are deep

and are going to make changes
on this campus this year and
years to come.
Now, this brother in some
people's eyes had it going on.
But in most eyes, he is the shadiest character on this campus or
even that they know. So to the
haters...I will call them that...you

know the people that laugh and
pat you on the back while poop
on you every other opportunity...you know where you can go.
Now, tot he ones that talk about
their shadiness to the person's
face, I commend you but will
warn you...it takes more to dislike someone and what they do

than to sit down and talk to them
and see where they arc coming
from. You must always remember not to burn your bridges, you
will never know who you will
need in life.
Now this student that is so
horrible and shady was able to be
an advocate not only for his pop-

ulation, but for a whole student
body and given Ihe honor of student of student of the year...oh
and don't forget will be graduating in a year.was being smart or

shady?

One of the organizations, that
I will leave nameless even before

another student assumes responsibilities and at one time as early
as last semester this student

claimed the organization to be
shady is doing an act that crosses the thin line between Smart
vs. Shady. And I'm staying neutral, because I understand.
So watch who and what you
call shady until you know all the
facts.

For those who still arc not
with me, let me hring you a little
closer... and let you in on a little
secret, give you a little food for
thought before 1 go.
It is call the Power of Con-

version. First, let me give you

my definition of a convert. Take
what you have to get, have what
you want.

A lot of times, while looking

at LHU, the SCC, the BSU, I see
our potential as students to be

leaders. We all have something
to say, but a lot of times we are
talking about the things that I
will say are stupid. The reason
that we arc so frustrated is because we are not dealing with the
real issues. Wy aren't we getting
along, etc. When we are able to
convert our energy into positive
things that will help our respective communities we as people,
as the human race will succeed.
I will admit in my first couple of semesters here I was frustrated because things just did not
make any sense, but when I converted my conversation and be-

gan to deal with real issues thc

cloud didn't' role away.
So, LHU I leave you with
those thought sand I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday.
Adios. But before I go, I must
give thanks to someone who
helped me out my road here at
LHU, Chris Harris, my mad is
graduating. In some ways I really admire him and he made it all
due to respect to him, God bless
and be with you later in life. And
one of the DG's are leaving too,
James "Jigga" Jeanty...I know I
will sec him later in life so I'm

There are few things that bring students and teachers together outside the
classroom. The art exhibit on December
1, in the John Sloan Fine Arts Center,
was one of those rare occasions.
The exhibit featured work in a variety of mediums from both professors
and graduating students of Lock Haven
University.
According to assistant professor
Philip Huber, coordinator ofthe exhibit, the professors from the art department annually have an exhibit featuring
their work. Since the department had a
larger than normal graduating class this
year, they decided to have the exhibit
featuring the work from professors and
students.

Each student's work had an area of
concentration that focused on painting,
photography or pottery. How the students worked within their concentration
provided insight into their artistic expressions and thoughts.
Choosing numerous works of pottery for the exhibit, Natalie Clarke said
she knew she wanted to show people the
variety in her work.
Photographer Shana Grove's work
provided both black and white, and color pieces for display. She used colored
pencils to alter some of the black and
white pictures, giving them a 3-D effect.
Grove said of her photographs,
"They all work together," and that there
was a certain "cohesiveness" to the photographs she selected.
Traci Snyder, whose work featured
a human theme, said, "The human form
is probably one ofmy favorite things to

work from."
Snyder added that she was really
happy with the way things turned out
with the art exhibit and said, "I like everything for its uniqueness."

Bovey Lee, unveiled several new paintM'/

Taking a look back at
"The Year of the Movie"
"We're losing the light."

Wander onto any movie set for a few days, and
you're bound to hear that phrase spoken at least
once. In the frantically paced world of filmmaking, where elaborately constructed shots can be
captured on film in windows oftime that are mere
minutes long, natural light is a valuable resource.
When a director or cinematographer starts yelling
about "losing the light," it's time for all parties involved to get down to serious business.
Reflecting on the past year in film, however,
it's easy to wonder if Hollywood itself isn't losing

once a year. Directors like Ernst Lubitsch, Preston
Sturges, and Billy Wilder managed to work within
the confines of the studio system and still create
sparkling original films like "Trouble in Paradise,"
"Sullivan's Travels," and "The Lost Weekend," respectively. The Academy Awards used to be (although it is somewhat debatable) about quality
rather than popularity, and films relied on strong
characterizations and intriguing plots to boost their
box officereceipts, as opposed to marketing tie-ins
at fast food restaurants. The medium that was once
intended for the poverty-ridden masses has be-

The Eagle Eye

December 10, 1999

There's nothing unconventional
about Christina Ricci's success
Ian Spelling
TMS Campus
Christina Ricci has been in the public eye for a
decade, ever since critics and audiences took note
of her talent first in "Mermaids" and then in the

"Addams Family" flicks. Now 19 years old. Ricci
continues to impress moviegoers with her increasingly nuanced performances in such films as "The
Ice Storm," "The Opposite of Sex" and "Buffalo
66."
In interviews, even as a child, Ricci came across
as wise beyond her years. She was smart, thoughtful and refreshingly honest. And she never gave the
impression that her career prevented her from being
a kid.
Recently, during a conversation at New York
City's Regency Hotel to promote her latest film,
"Sleepy Hollow," Ricci reiterated her sentiment that
she missed out on nothing while pursuing her craft
and that, in fact, she's actually better for it.
"My childhood was the only childhood I have,
so I don't have anything to compare it to," she says.
"This is my life. And it was perfect for me. It was
tailor-made for me and the kind ofkid I was. I needed an outlet. I needed something exciting to do. A
lot of times kids try to create the excitement that's
missing in their lives, and I think that's why they get
into trouble. I certainly would've been that kind of
kid. I wasn't good in school. I used to misbehave

because I was so bored. And I was really bad with
authority. I didn't feel I should have to do anything
I didn't have any personal interest in doing."
As the actress reached her teens, journalists
branded her a Hollywood rebel, a female James
Dean. Ricci, who talked tough, smoked like a fiend
and sought out edgy indie films, did nothing to quell
such chatter. And here's why: she didn't want to. "I
find all of that stuff kind of fun," she says, smiling.
"It's not a bad image, really. Sometimes people go
overboard and it just seems so far from what I really am that I think that's why I find it funny and enjoy it. I'm really so much more boring than people
seem to make me."
"I wouldn't say I'm a rebel, though I definitely
have a slight authority problem — or HAD one. I
definitely have a sense of humor that enjoys the idea
of being a rebellious teenager and thinks it's funny.
I always say I'm going to quit smoking when I'm
20. because what's the point of being a smoker if
you're not a teenage smoker?"
A tiny, buxom young woman with dark, huge
eyes and a full, round face, Ricci is not the planet's
most conventional-looking movie star. And that, in
cold Hollywood terms, makes her commercial success a minor miracle. Beyond the professional
realm, there's the personal side to consider. Most
teen girls obsess about their height, weight and so
on, but Ricci's body changes are forever available
on film and were chronicled growth spurt for
growth spurt, pound for pound, by the media.

Media Madness:
TURN LEFT, AND YOU GET A

one man reported two squirrels fighting
and another called to complain that
there was nothing good on TV.

"I can't complain about it too much," Ricci says
sanguinely. "You take the good with the bad, but it
was stressful when I was younger. They want
teenage girls who are gangly and really skinny. I
think it's a romantic, Nabokov thing, and I was never that. Also, I wasn't flat-chested from the time I
was 12. That was a problem because they think you
can't play 11 if you have tits already."
Did Ricci ever pine for more commercial looks?
"Oh yeah," she says. "1 think the grass is always
greener. I still sometimes want to be Jennifer Love
Hewitt."
Maybe so, but Hewitt would probably never
land the roles Ricci does. In Tim Burton's big-budget "Sleepy Hollow," she plays Katrina Van Tassel,
a mysterious young woman who falls for Ichabod
Crane (Johnny Depp), a constable who arrives in
town to solve a series of beheadings purportedly
carried out by a headless horseman. Currently, Ricci, along with Depp, is in Europe finishing work on
"The Man Who Cried," a drama directed by Sally
("Orlando") Potter.
"'The Man Who Cried' is even more weird because Johnny and I actually have full-on sex
scenes," Ricci says. "But we get along so well and

we like each other, so we were able to laugh at it and
not be too uncomfortable. The film takes place in
the 1940s. I'm a Russian Jew and Johnny's a Gypsy. Cate Blanchett is a Russian and John I urturro is
an Italian. And we're all stuck in Paris when the

Nazis invade."

Ricci's career continues to blossom with movies like "Sleepy Hollow" and "The Man Who Cried."

Dancers like to party for the millennium
Kristin White
Eagle Eye Features Editor
They began preparing the second week of

school, religiously rehearsing every step, every
turn, every leap and pirouette. They danced for
one hour a day, three days a week. The culmination oftheir long hours of dedication arrived last
Thursday as the~22 members of the LHU Dance
Company presented "We Like to Party" on stage
in Price Auditorium.
The performance featured several contemporary top 40 hits as well as many older songs with
hints of"jazz or disco. Opening with a number perdancers performed
formed the previous year,
Gonzalez's "Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet," an
up-beat 70's tune with a disco sound. The dancers
paraded on and off stage in an array of florescent
green and orange, incorporating the use ofribbons
at one point, and contributing to the effect of a

11

GAP commercial.
The second number featured six dancers clad
in pink, performing to "Reach Up" by the Perfecto
All-stars. Integrating the Christmas holiday into
the show's theme, three dancers adorning Santa
hats and revealing black costumes charmingly seduced the audience to Madonna's "Santa Baby."
The fourth number, involving the entire company, was performed to "Ravin"'by LA. Style and
made use of visual effects with contrasting costume colors and a color-changing stage backdrop.
Following a ten minute intermission, Act two
began with "No, No, No" (Part 2) by Destiny's
Child Feat and Wyclef Jean. Including all the
members of the company, the sexily choreographed number featured appealing synchronization and dance movements in front of a well timed
color-changing backdrop.
One of the highlights of the show, Mambo #5
by Lou Bega elicited an excited audience response,
featuring flapper-style dresses and colorful suits.

moves.

In addition to presenting one dance show per
semester, the company also performs at basketball
games, including the men's season opener this
year, and at Campus Craze and the Children's Fes-

tival in the Spring.
Although most of the company members join
the group with some dance experience, it is not a
prerequisite to participate, and the company, in
fact, has varying levels ofability and experience.

According to vice president Stacey Lebo, the diverse composition of skill level can sometimes be
very frustrating, but interesting to combine successfully.
"We're all different." said Lebo. "Someone
might have ten years of ballet experience while
someone else has two years of hip hop."
Another aspect which contributes to the time
consuming activity is the club's originality in creating their own performance and independence in
learning them without a professional instructor.
"We choreograph and teach our own dances,
which requires a lot of dedication" said Lebo.
The positive desire of the members to dance
and participate in the club, however, evens out the
demanding schedule and difficulty ofthe activity.
"The people who stick it out are the ones who
want to be there," said president Corinne Angstadt.
"In order to participate and be included in more
numbers you need to be there, but we never really
get any complaints."

Avid outdoorsman, Brad
Dally, said that "without these
types of races that specifically
focus on the meaning of hosting
races in places like Argentina,
the causes and purposes are lost
and the world never knows about

Wade Vagias, inspired by the

basically serves many purposes,
which relate to people in different ways. It's a quality race that
one could be proud of to compete in because the competition
is so varied. Most of all you're a

which is considered the greatest
triumph in the race and in life."

Adams became the first female in school history to be
named a National Soccer Coaches Association ofAmerica/Adidas Division II First Team All-American.
After the record breaking season experienced by the
Lady Eagles, and Adams in particualar, it is fitting that
the senior midfielder closes her standout career at The
Haven with the first ever All-American title confered upon an LHU women's soccer player.
Adams, a two-lime First Team All-Northeast Region
player and a four-time All-PSAC student athlete, led The
Haven through its most succesful season to date, helping
the team to its first conference crown and eventual first
round win in the NCAA tournament.
For her career, Adams is second on all of LHU's offensive charts, recording 94 career points on 34 goals and

26 assists.
The squad finished the season at 16-4 and bowed out

ofnational championship contention with a 3-1 loss to recently crowned Division II National Champion Franklin
Pierce (NH) College.

Justice named Coach of the Year
Three Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania women's volleyball players were selected to the 1999 American Volleyball Coaches Association Division II All-Atlantic Region team.
Senior Sarah Schall and juniors Stefanie LaFata and
Kathryn Stallings all earned the regional honors. Ninthyear Head Coach Tom Justice was also among those being awarded, as he received Coach of the Year honors for
the Atlantic Region.
Justice, who earned his second regional recognition
(the first was in 1997, after the Lady Eagles' first trip to

.

the Elite Eight), led the 1999 Lady Eagles to their best
season yet, recording a 32-6 record. The squad advanced
to the Elite Eight, where they bowed out with a 3-1 loss

After completing an internship in Madrid, Spain this past
summer, he received job offers at
several distinguished wineries
including Ernest and Julio Gallo.
Brian however, has chosen a
different field from which to
start a career. In the upcoming
year. Brian will be moving to
Manhattan to begin a career in
investment banking.
Despite thc obvious chore of
finishing such a rigorous academic track, he rarely missed
practice and was always thinking
of ways to improve the team.
Whether it was coming up
with new plays, more fundraising ideas or just teaching fundamental rugby, the rest of the team
always listened to what Brian
had to say. He held himself to the
highest standards on and off the
field and there is not a person on
the team who doesn't hold him
in the highest regard.
The rugby team's scrumhalf,
Andy English, said earlier this
season, "We have always had a
good team, but it has only been
during thc last year that we have
become a great team."
It is because ofBrian Robinson that such a thing was possible. He was the glue that held
this team together, kept us motivated, organized and focused on
our goal of becoming champions.
"I wasn't surprised with the
results of this past season, but I
was extremely impressed with

"This team has a lot of

challenge for the team is to go to

one thing has been the same
throughout: everyone has always

were always a team. That proved
itself when we went undefeated
and won the championship this
year."
Archbold has been a standout
on the rugby team and he too
will be greatly missed. The team
would like to thank both Brian

team as great as they are today.
We wish them both the best of
