Last Friday evening when many students arrived at the weight room ready to lift weights, they were faced by a padlocked door. "The room was closed do to liability reasons and due to the fact it's afirehazard because there is only one exit," said interim Associate Athletic Director Don Taylor. Taylor also said that there is a need for paid student supervisors in ordex to take the liability factor away from the University. "We petitioned the SCC for $2,400 in September to pay for student supervision, but our request was turned down," said Taylor. "It's my understanding that Dr. Ira Masemore, who is the Dean of the College of Education and Human Service, wants to have three paid weight room supervisors to help coordinate weight room hours, get volunteers, and help with spot checks of the gym," said Taylor. The University had acquired the thousands of dollars worth of equipment from the LHU Barbell Club, and a committee was then organized to set policy for the weight room. The committee discovered that the weights' area was in violation of the fire codes. Taylor said that the University has known that the gym is a fire hazard for at least two years. "It was my understanding that two years ago when the committee found out about the fire violation, something was going to be done as soon as possible," said Taylor. Dr. Robert Coltrane, who supervised the LHU Barbell Club for ten years until the University takeover, said, "We never had a problem with liability or anybody ever sustaining any type of injuries other than maybe a slight muscle pull-and that's over the course of a decade." "I really just think the University is phasing out student use of the facility, and I wouldn't be suprised if in a few years if a student wasn't a varsity athlete, he/she wouldn't be allowed to use the Roger's weight room," said Coltrane. "That couldn't be any further from the truth," said Taylor. "In fact the reason the University took the weight room from the cycles, and possibly even ledue the running Barbell Club is because we didn't feel the track to make it into a really nice fitness room should be restricted to only those complex." who paid thier dues to the club." The problem of students lifting in the Until 1985, the Roger's weight room weight room has been solved at least was under the supervision of the Barbell "temporarily" according to Taylor as of Club who paid for equipment with a budget Thursday aftemoon. from the SCC and the dues it received from "Three students have been selected to its members. supervise the weight room and set up hours Coltrane said that during the 1986 spring when it can be used by students," said semester, the University gave the Barbell Taylor.

When asked where the Nautilus "Actually we have hopes of transfwrning equipment would be located in Rogers, the Roger's building into a fitness center in Merenich replied that it would be placed in the future," said Taylor.

Reynolds says "no", SCC searches for bookstore manager By Sue Berger Co-Editor The search for a bookstore manager will begin again, as the SCC's candidate, Howard T. Reynolds, has officially tumed down the job offer, according to SCC President Bob Rote. Reynolds declined the position three days before the University administration completed its investigation into any discrepancies in the hiring process, said Rote. Dean of Students Dr. Linda Koch conducted the investigation while the hiring of Reynolds was on hold because, according to Koch, the administration received reports from Search Committee Chairman and PUB Director Leiand Spangler saying the search committee's recommendation was overlooked. Koch said that she completed her investigation and informed University President Craig Dean Willis on Tuesday, February 16 that "there were significant discrepancies in the search ivocess itself." "The search committee wasn't involved in the selection of the top three candidates (to be interviewed). One candidate who appeared in the top was not voted on," said Koch. She also said that there was a great deal of confusion involved in how the top three candidates fw the position were selected. Koch added that there were no written documents, such as minutes, that detailed SCC President Bob Rote the research of the committee. Rote, however, said, "If Howard Reynolds had come to an agreement with us (the SCC), he would have been hired, but the (SCC) dealings with Mr. Reynolds were over before (the University's) investigation was completed," said Rote. Rote said that he had tried to negotiate with Reynolds after Reynolds had verbally tumed down the job on February 3. Rote said, however, that by Saturday, February 14 he realized he could not persuade Reynolds to leave his job at Claster's Building Materials, Lock Haven, since Reynolds was offered a raise there. "The SCC has lost an opportunity in not bringing Mr. Reynolds to campus," Rote reported to the SCC Executive Committee. Because the position remains unfilled, the SCC is planning another search committee to search for a bookstore manager. Rote said that he decided to re-open the search instead of just presenting the executive committee's second choice (acting bookstore manager Jolene Douty) to the Senate because "any questions there may have been about the (original) search will be negated by our brand new search." "If we were to offer the position to the second person...and for some reason that person were out of the picture, we would have to offer the job to the third person, and I didn't feel the third person would be qualified enough to take the position." said Rote. Koch said that a new search should be conducted because "whoever the person is going to be, needs to be the clear choice." Koch recommended to the SCC that a "member of the administration with significant search committee experience be added to the new committee, as well as an SCC faculty advisor." Rote said, "We're lo(4dng at middle level management as far as the administrationno deans or vice presidents-but people who worit under them." "This way. it gives us a chance to bring in some people on a search committee who will be a little more objective," said Rote. "We're now going to have a number of people from outside the SCC itself." Rote added that a student and a SCC Executive Committee member will also be involved in the search process. 2 Eagle Eye Lock Haven University, Friday, February 19,1988 Announcements Attention Students, Faculty, and Staff The Akeley construction area has been tumed over to a contractor.

Roger's gymTaylor said that he, along with assistant wrestling coach Tom Justice, had set up a program last semester using volunteer weightroom supervisors, but according to Taylor, the system just didn't work out. "The volunteers just didn't show up all the time, and we just can't have that," said Taylor. "With paid supervisors, hopefully we'll have a better system," said Taylor. "Dr. M a s e m o r e got some m o n e y from somewhere in the last few days to resolve this p r o b l e m a n d p a y the t h r e e supervisors."

LIFE (Lifestyle Improvement For Everyone) is designed to educate the community about overall physical well-being, nutrition and weight control, use of tobacco, seat belt safety, stress management, blood pressure control, and drug and alcohol abuse. "I hope to improve the lifestyle for all community businesses and industries, promote work-sight wellness and county-wide health," said Lugg. Lugg, who has been a hall director and athletic coach at LHU, will be leaving on February 26. She said, however, that her new job will be located in LHU's Price Auditorium until a permanent sight for the program can be determined. She added that after the project reaches its completion date of September 30, 1988, there will be no guarantee that she will retum to Lock Haven University. "It's a risk I have to take for my own personal development," said Lugg. "I hope that if a position is open, that I will be reconsidered." After working wilh college students for three and a half years, Lugg said that working with the average citizen will be a change for her. "Having an office that's not a thoroughfare will be a change from college life to my new job," said Lugg. She said that after she leaves, the responsibility of running the residence halls will be in the hands of the resident assistants. "There is no doubt in my mind that the R.A.' s are capable of handling the job," added Lugg. Alex Sansosti, a Resident Assistant in Smith Hall, said, "Carol has done an excellent job in providing the residents of Smith Hall with a liveable, comfortable environment. She'll be missed by all." Diane Dietrick, a Resident Assistant of Woohidge Hall, said, "Carol had too much to do and couldn't do all of her jobs, leaving the R.A.'s with a lot of responsibility. For the amount of work that was put on her, she did a good job." "I respected her for takingOTItwo halls." said Nikki Swick, a Smith Hall R.A. "I leamed a lot through her expert organizing. Her imprint will remain throughout the halls even when she's gone. She's gained much respect, influenced a lot of people, and has been a motivator and a good friend." Lugg said that there will be a search for a temporary staff member who will be the Hall Director for Smith and Wooh-idge until a permanent directOT is hired. Carol Lugg Change in library hours may result... Committee, Bravard discuss extension of library hours By Shay Tressa and Jeffrey Hilty StcffReporters Extending the library hours was the subject of a Library Hours Task Force Committee meeting with Director of Library Services Robert Bravard last Monday. The committee and Bravard discussed expanding the hours Monday through Thursday until 11 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. Members of the Committee include Chairperson Lee Ann Vojtas, SCC President Bob Rote, Tabatha Margerum, Laura Kocsis, and Maria Demain. Other committee members include Thomas Seelig, Paul Dillahay, Tara Malooly, Brian Smith, and Shay Tressa. "If he (Bravard) will work with the committee to keep the library open longer, the committee will prove to the administration that a new worker is necessary for the library to best serve the students," said Vojtas. She also said that the committee is planning to circulate a questionnaire for student input and that the results from the questionnaire will be used when negotiating hours for Friday and Saturday. During the discussion of the proposed new hours, Bravard provided statistics showing that the number of students in the library declines as the library nears closing time. Committee members said that the reason for this may be that students with a large amount of work leave the library early because they (the students) would not have the time to start something new that night. Another possibility mentioned by committee members for the small numbers at closing time is that students attending meetings or activities would not have time to get to the library and get a large amount of work done before the library closes. Bravard said that that current library employees work a large number of hours each week and that new employees would have to be hired to work the extra hours. Rote said that he realizes that extended •V ^gijgfif^mv^-'^fo^t* library hours won't be accomplished this semester, but he feels that the "probability is strong that it can be worked into the fall budget." Bravard said he believes that difficulty between the committee and his employees will dissipate now that the two groups are talking. "Everyone will benefit (from extended library hours) in the long run," said Bravanl He also said that "there seems to be a pretty good feeling among library employees about the idea for expanded hours." -V^MgjfOtc. ^M~ook$tor04 Clothings Stationary Hems, Po$l«rJ», and $0 much more.
