Ralph Nader lecture urges citizen involvement
By Mike Flanagan
Urging citizen and student involvement
in environmental issues, nationally-known
consumer advocate Ralph Nader gave a lecture entitled "The Power to Pollute vs. The
Right to Health," in Price Auditorium last
night.

Nader's lecture focused on a number of
topics including citizen involvement. " W e
must liberate one's mind to look at a problem with common sense and not to be programmed from biased information from
corporations," Nader said.

Consumer advocate Ralph
Nader addressed a Price
Auditorium crowd on social
issues last night.

The consumer advocate urged students to
take action and get the most out of their
education. "Students should perform to
citizens while they are in college. Educational studies can be interesting if you
challenge the mind and value system,"
Nader added.
Nader cited several types of pollution
during his lecture. He mentioned air, water,
pesticide, and workplace as major pollution
problems. Nader also said that violence
would have to be redefined as industrial
pollution. "Industrial pollution is a massive
form of violence that you can't see, touch,
or you can't be warned of," Nader said.
"People get the impression that if
something' doesn't pinch, it doesn't hurt.
This isn't true, such things as cancer hurt
later o n , " he continued.
Nader told of the corporation that knows
they are polluting, but use the excuse that
they can't clean up because of the recession.
According to Nader, the company frightens
the people away by telling them that people
will lose jobs if the company is shut down.
"People accept these reasons as gospel.
They shouldn't confuse power with truth,"
he said.
Speaking before the three-quarters full
auditorium, Nader said that many corporations " l i e " and are composed of people
who have too much power. Nader told of
the General Motors case in the mid 70's
when eight million cars had to be recalled
when only 20 days earlier, GM said their
cars had no defects.
Nader also discussed President Ronald
Reagan during the two-hour lecture. Nader
said that Reagan knows his techniques and
has brilliantly smiled his way through

everything. The critic said the only way to
get Reagan to do something about the
drinking water pollution is an international
communist conspiracy.
The crusading attorney also warned the
audience about the food they eat. "Your
food could be chewy, tasty, easy to prepare,
and nice looking, but it could be low in
nutrition and contaminated," Nader said.
To conclude his lecture, Nader said that
your life can be one of two choices. "You
can be powerless and act like you don't
count or make up your mind that you are
going to count, fight, and make a difference.
Before the lecture, Nader held a press
conference in Robinson HaU.

Council of Trustees discusses academic statistics
By Dave Prusak
"I never was affiliated with an institution
which let a student repeat a class so many
times. Some students in my department
have as many as 27 D's, E's, or W's on their
transcript. This constitutes a lot of unproductive study. We have a serious
academic problem here which doesn't help
the student or the institution," stated Bernard Dornisch, associate professor of
Math/Computer Science during yesterday's
Council of Trustees meeting in Sullivan
Hall.
In other matters, the Council of Trustees
heard a report by Dr. Craig D. Willis, College president in that the current enrollment
of 2399 students for the Spring semester is
down from last year because of the higher
number of December graduates.
In contrast. Dr. John Zaharis, vicepresident for Academic Affairs stated that,
"As of yesterday (Wednesday) fall applications are up 9% which is good news. Applications have risen 18% for Undeclared
majors, 4% for Arts and Sciences, 7"% for
HPER (Health, Physical Education and

Recreation) and 375% for Secondary
Education. In addition. Dr. Zaharis told
the Trustees that, " W e had 228 students on
the dean's list last semester. Fifty-three
students attained a 4.0 grade average. Two
hundred-twenty nine students were put on
probation and 98 received dismissal letters.
The overall gradepoint average is 2.5, which
is about what I expected."
Outside the Academic realm, George
Marshall, vice-president for the Administration told the Council, " W e came
up with positive statistics about the value of
counselors in the dorms from a survey. All
of the counselors, when combined, have a
3.2 grade average. Eighty-five percent of
dorm residents felt comfortable in approaching their counselor with any problem."
Of the growing fraternity problems, Marshall said, "We are trying to monitor the
fraternities more closely. We aren't ignoring the problem butthere are some areas in
which we have no legal rights," said Marshall.

On academics, Edward Clawson, president for the LHU Chapter of APSCUF,
said, "On the state level, we are looking for
an excellence in education among the
general populous. We want to prepare
teachers for the public schools. On the local
level, we are looking for the acquisition,
housing, and use of personal computers."
"We are looking into the possibilities of
an Academic Convocation for September.
Academics is serious business. Fraternities,
dormitories, and individuals need to be
recognized academically," said Clawson.
Joseph Coldren, director of Admissions,
handed out literature which dealt with admission procedures. He explained the admission standards at LHU, the places he
visits to enhance future students to attend
here, and the advertising he does.
Coldren said, "The applicant pull is
much larger than last year. It is too early to
tell how well we'll do, but so far the
recruiting is very encouraging."

Gary Interdonato, SCC president said,
"We want students to be involved with
faculty and staff. We want students to participate in SCC activities. We (SCC) will
follow the advice of qualified people on the
Trustees Board."
In matters of decision, Emerita Status
was approved for past LHU staff including
Mary Breid, Dr. Helen Goodell, Naomi
Shuey, and Charles Hamburger. Housing
fees for low income students were waived.
The purchasing of a copy machine, paper
products, and stainless steel swimming pool'
filter tank were also passed.

'Professional student' the new face in the EngUsh Department
She hopes to go back to school and get a
degree in computer science sometime.
On the rare occassions when she has
spare time, Watford said she enjoys creative
writing and reading. She also likes to travel
when she can.

By Steve Coffman
Lock Haven University's English department has a new face, that of Dr. Joyce Watford. She comes to us from Daytona Beach,
Florida and while she is a teacher, she also
describes herself as a "professional
student."
Before coming to Lock Haven, Watford
taught at Bethune-Cookman College and
Embroy-Riddle Aeronautical University,
both in Daytona Beach. She has also taught
in Kentucky and in other Pennsylvania
schools.

Watford is currently working on a
research project which she hopes will be
completed for pubUcation by the end of this
summer. She is researching the teaching of
writing to remedial students.
Being from Pennsylvania originally,
Watford said she chose to return because
she prefers the Northeast over the
Southeast.
She resides in Lock Haven now and while

she admits the lifestyle is quite different
here. Lock Haven is "an interesting little
town" that meets her needs.
Watford said that the students of LHU
are similar to those she has encountered at
other schools. She said, however, that "The
faculty members here are much more congenial and supportive." She had a sense of
acceptance and being welcome when she
began teaching here this semester.

Polish exchanges keeping busy

Watford is a graduate of Elizabeth City
State University in North Carolina with a c
B.S. in English. Her education was continued at Hampton Institute in Virginia,
where she worked toward her M.A. in
English. She received her doctorate of
English Education and a second masters
from Temple University.

I

Watford called herself a "professional
student" because she likes going to school
and taking courses to further her education.
She has an interest in computer science
which she said she would like to develop.

Lock Haven University's foreign exchange program has brought several Polish
professors to LHU this semester. In exchange, eight LHU students and one professor have gone to Poland.
Presently in America from Marie CurieSklodowska University in LubUn, Poland,
are Dr. Alicja Pormorska, Dr. Marian
Jelenkowski, Professor Jolanta Szpyra, and
Dr. Eugeniusz Gasior.
They have been here since January 26,
and will be going back to Poland around
the middle of May.
The professors are here to do research in
their fields and have been giving lectures at
LHU and other colleges.
Gasior is a biochemist and is presently
lecturing in Texas.
Szpyra, whose field of study is
phonology, is working on her doctorate
dessertation about American and Polish
phonology.
Jelenkowski is a political science professor and is in America to collect material
for a book on America's theory of justice.
Pormorska, whose field is finance law, is
here to study President Reagan's taxation
policy.
All of the Polish Professors teach at
Marie Carie-Sklodowska University where,
according to LHU's International Education Office, the eight LHU students and
one professor are this semester.
Professor Dane Bowen, of the History,
Political Science, and Economics Department, accompanied the eight students to
Poland. They are Marcelo Cancelli, Alec
Dewar, Michael Gray, Kunihiko Imai,

^OO/Q

Joseph Kirkland, Francis Leberto, Erin
Manerie, Kimberly Racy, and Lara Smith.
Jelenkowski said that in Polish colleges,
there is a distinction between classes and
lectures.
Classes, he said, are small group discussions (10-20 students) with the instructor.
Lectures are given by professors to a larger
number or students (over 100), and lectures
are not meant as a time for discussion.
Szpyra said that students attend 20 hours
of lectures and classes a week.
Szpyra also said that when students
graduate from a Polish university, they are
given a masters degree in their field.
Jelenkowski and Pormorska said that
American schools give students a more
specialized education than Polish schools.
Jelenkowski said that Poland's schools give
a broader education. He also said that the
specialized education of the United States
better prepares students for the professional world.
Pormorska and Jelenkowski said they
were surprised to find that American
libraries are hot as quiet as those in Europe.
They said that there is little talking in Europ>ean libraries.
In comparing Polish students to
American students Jelenski said, "European students are more politically aware
and interested." Szpyra said that Polish
students are more interested in cultural art
and music. She said that she has been to
concerts and art exhibitions here and said
there were very few students there. "This
would never happen in Poland," Szpyra
said. She also said that American students
are very friendly.

What if no concert?
At last Wednesday's SCC meeting, the senate approved the motion for a
concert featuring Robert Hazard and the Greg Kihn Band. Great, Lock Haven
has a concert. The senate commended Mike Moyer and the Executive Committee for its work in setting up the event.
But, what would have happened If the senate turned down the motion? No
chance, you say? I agree, but that's not the point. In this Instance, the SCC
was bound by a verbal agreement or contract to honor (and pay) the bands If
something were to go wrong. In essence, the senate had no choice In the matter. Doesn't this go against the Constitution of the SCC?
You may think I'm nitpicking, but I don't think so. I'm in agreement with the
decision for the concert. I think It'll be great. But the Executive Committee, all
the same, is on awfully touchy ground. This was a matter which timing played
a big part, so it can be seen as an exception. I think and hope the Executive
Committee sees it that way, too. After all, the senate does have the legislative
power in the organization. Let's keep it that way.

Wasn't it simply wonderful to see that so many people had turned out for the
WLHC-FM sponsored Airband Contest?
I mean, it just goes to prove that life does not stop after frat parties. Yes,
there are some things happening right here on campus that seems to attract a
large number of people.
Of course, a word or two about the many airband contestants must be inserted here.
It's not so much that a few people were brave enough to jump onto a stage
and dance around for a few minutes. It's more like, they were simply having a
little fun and allowing the rest of the campus population to participate.
Maybe that is just what is needed on this tiny campus in the middle of the
Appalachian mountains. STUDENT PARTICIPATION!!
Congratulations to the winners! To all of the contestants-congratulations
on finding a way to break the monotony of "Life at Lock Haven".

Mayor says thank you
Dear Editor:
Too many times in our fast moving society we neglect to say "thank you" to those
who have rendered a valuable service or
who have otherwise extended a kindness. I
would certainly be remiss it I did not convey
the appreciation of the City to everyone on
the Lock Haven University campus for the
help given to the community on February
14-15, 1984.
I speak, of course, of the Valentine's Day
flood event when the Susquehanna River
and the Bald Eagle Creek rose and frightened many of us. No matter how many times
this happens over the years, each Instance
causes considerable mental anguish and
suffering; particularly to our elderly

residents and to those who are unable to
move their possessions to places of safety.
However, Lock Haven Is blessed with caring
young adults at the University who immediately step forward to help in any way
that they can...this has occurred on innumerable occasions. It happened again In
February and, because it did, we are
grateful to everyone who offered their services to City residents.
The members ot City Council and
everyone In the community deeply appreciate the efforts of all students who
gave us a hand. On their behalf, I thank
each and everyone of you.

1984 Spring Sp
Womens' Lacrosse
By Dave Prusak
A veteran squad consisting of five seniors gives fifth year women's lacrosse coach
Rose Ann Neff every reason to be optimistic about this year's season.
Returning for the Lady Eagles are senior co-captains Mary Beth DriscoU and Ann
Grim. Also expected to play key roles are seniors Joan Laird, Lisa Harding, and Kim
Michener. Junior Chris Cortellessa will be in goal. DriscoU was a Division II AllAmerican as well as an AU-Confererence performer last year. Grim and Laird were also
AU-Conference last year.
Neff, 23-14-2 during her four years at the helm, said, " I ' m optimistic about this year
because we have dynamic seniors who want to be leaders. We have a veteran attack, but
I'm more concerned about vacant positions on defense. Switches on defense might have
to be made to put experienced players at key positions."
Neff said, "We should be pretty similar to last year's 6-4 team. There is very Httle difference in the teams speed this year. Our attack is quick, but our defense still has to
work things out. Speed is an important asset in lacrosse because crisp passes are needed,
and play is never stopped unless an injury occurs."

Baseball I'
By Dave Walters
Head coach Gary Bartley and the Lock Haven University baseball team wiU see their
first action of the season during their nine day, eight game road trip in Virginia during
spring break.
The Bald Eagles, reigning PSAC Northern Division champions, will play eight consecutive games in Virginia. The Eagles will face tough teams like William and Mary,
University of Richmond and Liberty Baptist. William and Mary participated in the
ECAC division one playoffs last season. The University of Richmond had two or three
players drafted into the professional ranks.
The LHU baseball squad wiU only have two days of outdoor practive before their
first game. Bartley said, "We are going to have expectations of making some mistakes
because of the lack of outdoor work but I think we're going to have to go and play in
spite of it."
Pitching wiU be the Bald Eagles strong point this season. Back on the mound this year
are sophomores Carl Goshorn, Joe Vigna and Dave Deans. Goshorn hurled 29
strikeouts and led the team in innings pitched. Deans had a 4.81 ERA and threw 20
strike outs. " W e will go as far as out pitching wiU take u s , " Bartley said. The pitchers
will be throwing to catchers Terry Fasold and Lou Ceserone.
All-conference centerfielder Tom Reichenbach, who batted .330 last year, is being
watched by professional scouts. Reichenbach had a couple professional tryouts last
summer. "There is a chance this year that he might get drafted this season. He's
definitely pro potential." Bartley said. Senior Glen Fultz, team captain and four year
starter, was also named All-conference and batted .349 last year.
The Bald Eagles have a lack of experience
this year because six of their starters from
last year were lost due to graduation.
Bartley said, " W e are definitely young, we
have more guys using Clearasil than we do
using Gillette Trak 11.1 think youth in itself
is a very exuberant thing and that's what we
are trying to build o n . "
The Eagles will face Shippensburg March
31 in their conference opener. "Our key is
our 16 conference games," Bartley said.
"Mansfield will be the toughest team in
their division. We beat them last year for
the division championship, so they are
looking to stick one to u s , " Bartley said.
Bartley said, " W e have pretty good team
speed. I like to play a very aggressive game
on the basepaths and we Uke to get the guys
to run. Our coaches put in a lot of hard
i£.>
time and they are great for our program."
Bartley said, " I hope the weather breaks
when we get here, I'm looking for some stuEagle Eye photo by Rick Hum
dent support. College baseball is really Tom Reichenbach fields
grounder in
coming up in this country."
Thomas Fieldhouse.

"We need to work on our offensive passing sequences in addition to defensive double
teaming and body positioning. Both units have to work on the transition game, which is
needed for control," said Neff.
"Last year we were out practicing at this time. I can't really make a prediction as to
how well we will do because the weather conditions have been bad. 1 need to have a
good look at our players in a game situation before 1 can really make any judgments,"
said Neff.
Neff said,"I'm looking to get a lot of help from our freshman and underclassmen.
We have a lot of beginners on this year's team. Most other teams have people with some
experience in their particular sport. Every year we get 6 to 12 players who never played
lacrosse before. It takes a lot of patience for these players, and I'm pleased with their
performance so far."
The season opens on April 3 when the Lady Eagles host Shippensburg. Neff said,
"West Chester will probably be our toughest opponent this year. The conference is very
strong. We won the conference in 1980 and 1981, but ever since then the other schools
have been closing the gap."

Womens' Softball
By Christa Landas
This will be the first season that the LHU
women's softball team will compete in the
Pennsylvania Western Conference.
Slippery Rock University wiU be one of
the Lady Eagles toughest competitors in a
conference that also includes Edinboro, Indiana, California, and Clarion.
New players on this year's rooster are:
Donna Graupp, Linda Hennigan, Lynn
Lavook. Karen LaValley, and Sandy Staib.
During the fall softball program, Hennigan
led the Lady Bald Eagles in hitting by batting over .500.
Veterans Roberta Rothen, Deb Bennett,
and Donna Dewitt will see duty at the catcher's spot.
Staib, along with senior Beth Hess and
junior Kathy Kreisher, wiU make-up the
LHU pitching staff. Hess is a three year letter winner and should be very strong this
year.
Wendy Heiges, Bonnie Lassen, Robyn
Powell, Teresa Martin and Tina Martin will
see play in the infield.
Lori Ferguson, Sandy Elstrodt, and Jodi Freshman Sandy Staib displays her preMensch wiU be on duty in the outfield for season pitching form.

the Lady Bald Eagles.
Coach Wayne AUison said of this season's squad, "We wiU be defensively sound.
Last season, offensively we hit well, but we didn't quite have the consistency. HopefuUy
we'll be more consistent this year."
Dr. Allison also said, "One thing we'd like to see is more college wide support. We've
been practicing since the fall in our fall softball program and have also been weight
training. Since the beginning of this semester we've been training hard and would like to
•have the support of the student body at our games."
Last season the Lady Eagles finished the Pennsylvania Conference with an 8-4 record
and grabbed second place in the PSAC Eastern Conference play. Overall the LHU
women were 16-8.
Bennett had the leading batting average of .333 and the entire team's average was
.261.
The Lock Haven crew opens its season over spring break playing at Liberty Baptist in
Lynchburg, Virginia.
The determining factor in the success of this year's Lock Haven women's softball
team will be how well they manage to play their first season of competitive baU in the
Western Conference.

Mens' and Womens' Track i
Mens' Tennis
By Rocco Pallotto
With youth and a lot of potential the tennis team should play comp>etitively against
all of their opponents this year with one exception.
The Bald Eagles have the misfortune of
playing the powerhouse of the east coast,
Bloomsburg University. LHU opens the
season April 4 at home against Bloom.
Other than that, the season outlook is
pretty good. "We should hold our own
against everyone except Bloom," said firstyear head coach Glenn MiUer.
"1 feel very fortunate for the opportunity
to coach the tennis team this year. 1 am a
tennis advocate—Mr. Herrman's shoes wiU
be a tough pair to fill from being the coach
for the last 16 years."
Rob Lentz and Joe Green will be back to
help out the Eagles. "We also have four or
five freshman with a lot of potential," said
Miller.
"We have a young nucleus which 1 hope
to build upon in the coming years," said
MiUer. "The nucleus this year will help ensure a steady team in the next few years."
"I'm taking a lot of time with the
younger players by looking for mistakes
they might make. I'm working on each
player's individual game," Miller said.
"Individually, if a few players get hot
and play to their ability around conference
Rob Lentz follows through on a served dur- championship time, LHU just might have a

Mens' Golf \
By Rocco Pallotto
The golf team, under second year head coach Bob Weller, looks like they
have a good chance to improve on last season's 4-11 record.
Captain Greg Klose is back for the Bald Eagles. "He'll most likely be our
best golfer throughout the year," said Weller.
Transfer student Rick Terry should also add some depth to the LHU squad.
Back with some experience from last year are Dave Russell, Evan Wycoff, and
Larry Hall.
There are currently 33 golfers out for the team, but Weller said the team will
probably be down to IS by the time matches start.
With little overall experience on the team, the freshmen are going to have to
contribute from the start.
"I'm not sure what the freshmen are going to do," said Weller, "but I'm
hoping they'll really help out the team.
"For us to have a good year, some of the freshmen are going to have to
make the team."
WeUer has high hopes for Klose. "1 think that Greg has a chance tofinishin
the top 10 at the conference championships."
Although LHU plays several conference schools, their record wiU not matter when the championships come around. AU teaips go to the conference
championships regardless of their record.
The Eagles, who play their home matches at Belle Springs, wiU have their
three toughest regular season matches against Shippensburg, East
Stroudsburg, and Bucknell.
The squad opens the season April 3 with a quadrangular at Bloomsburg
along with Kutztown and Shippensburg. They'll close out the regular season
April 24 with a triangular at East Stroudsburg. Trenton SUte wUl join ESU
and the Eagles.
All in all, LHU should have a good season. Weller said, "It looks Uke we
have a legitimate chance to be .500 or better."

By Kevin Campbell
A new track, a home invitational, and an
optimistic outlook wiU highlight the 1984
track season. The team will open on April 4
at home against Clarion and Slippery Rock.
The men's team, led by rookie head
coach Mike McCready, will field a young
but talented team. Veteran runner Todd
Hyman, who placed in four events last
weekend, will anchor the team's attack.
Steve Funk wiU give support in the sprinting
events, with Ken Tomer and Craig Yakscoe
backing up the distance events.
Freshman Rudy Bilka should prove to be
tough in the pole vault for the Bald Eagles.
Bilka set the school recorded in the pole

vault last weekend with a vault of 14'6".
John Genereaux will lead the team in the
field events.
The women's squad, also coached by McCready, wiU feature another freshman surprise in Nancy Larena. The freshman has
already tied the school record in the high
jump at S'2", and wiU add strength to the
team in the sprint events. E>eanna Hoeffer
wiU also add support in the miming events.
The season will conclude with a different
twist this year, as Lock Haven will host the
Bald Eagle Invitational on May 5. The team
wiU be running on a newly renovated track,
and optimism is the key to the season.

Petersen will go for national crown again
By Dave Prusak
....
-•
It was one week ago today that heavyweight wrestler Rick Petersen saw his chances tor an
NCAA crown go down the drain. Petersen finds it easy to reflect upon his disappointing
showing at this year's NCAA's, but he would much rather concentrate on going all the way
Petersen said, "The goal of every collegiate wrestler is to place high at NCAA's. But once
you get there the pressure is tremendous because it's an outstanding tournament where
everybody is tough. (Mike) Holcomb defeated me because he had a good technique which
frustrated me, (Tab) Thacker won the title against (Gary) Albright because of his size (447
lbs.), not his ability."
,_
,.
„ r uPetersen, a 6'5 255 lb. junior from Tamarack (near Renovo) who towers above all of his
teammates, had a mediocre 51-18-4 record in high school. But as a collegian, Petersen has
vastly improved by accumulating an 80-26 record including a whopping 51 pins.
Petersen said, "1 started wrestling in fifth grade. A friend, now living in Las Vegas, got me
involved but he lost interest when I started beating him. Actually, my first interest was basketball and 1 never really was that big until I came to college."

In high school Petersen performed for an average wrestling team. As a senior Petersen was a
state quarterfinalist. Petersen, whose graduating class consisted of a meager 72 students, enjoyed more success in football where he was an All-State offensive center and defensive tackle.
Petersen said, "I was recruited as a footbaU player by Penn State, Army, West Virginia",
and Kentucky. But I chose wrestling over football because when you win the hard work is all
yours. 1 chose Lock Haven because I wanted a small college with a strong wrestling program."
Of LHU's team, Petersen said, " I matured and worked harder every year. I've made many
friends on the team, and we've learned a lot about each other. Coach (Neil) Turner keeps the
team together by wanting us to be the best."
"My roommate Dickie Howell was a good high school wrestler and he has encouraged me a
lot. Dickie (Howell) has stimulated me to get the most out of my self," said Petersen.
Petersen, who has two Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) titles and a Mat Town championship under his belt, has also placed high in various tournaments. Petersen's favorite move is a
double leg tackle.
Petersen said, " A good wrestler has to be able to adjust to different styles. The Midwest
wrestlers are good on their feet, while the Eastern guys are tough close to the mat. I feel the
real key is to be effective on my feet."
When asked about his greatest moment in collegiate wrestling, Petersen said, "All of my
match wins are big. But 1 enjoyed beating (Gary) Albright at the Lehigh Tournament earlier
this year. Albright was the runner-up at NCAA's this year."
In his spare time Petersen likes to do a variety of things. " I like weightlifting, which is part
of wrestling. I also enjoy my social life of going out with friends. During the summer I ride my
motorcycle," said Petersen.
Pertaining to the future, Petersen said, "1 would like to teach or coach Physical Education.
1 might even want to have my own private business, like a health spa. My goals are the 1988
Olympics and to stay involved in wrestling with the Iowa Hawkeye Club."
Petersen said, "We should have a tough team next year. Bucky's (Doug Buckwalter) shoes
will be hard to fill, but we will have good guys filling in for our three graduating seniors. We
should have a tough team forever if coach Turner continues his good work."
"Assistant coach (Mike) McCready has helped me out a great deal because he is a
heavyweight who can relate to my abilities. Coach Turner is on the right track because Lock
Haven is returning to a past tradition where we were national contenders," said Petersen.
Looking to next year, Petersen said, "I should be able to handle everybody in my weight
class. My obvious goal is a national title."
Of Petersen's chances next year, LHU coach Turner said, "There is no question that Rick
can win the national championship next year. If Rick continues to improve, he will go all the
way. There is a difference between being capable of accomplishing something and being
prepared. This year Rick was capable, but not prepared."

Campus Responder: With EMT's on duty
Shawn Bingman
Imagine this-It's slippery out. You're
coming down the stairs from class and slip
on a step. You knock down five to 10 people ahead of you. You have a broken leg,
start to hyperventilate and pass out. It's
possible you're in shock. The femoral
artery in your thigh is lacerated due to the
fracture which would cause you to lose two
to three pints of blood. The people in front
of you might also be injured.
Takes 10-15 minutes
By the time an ambulance crew loads up,
gets through mid-day traffic, (and this is all
assuming they live one block away from an
ambulance office and they are not busy)
they might be on campus in 10 to 15
minutes. By this time, you would've already
been dead five minutes. Sounds frightening, right?
John Carroll, a student here at the college, is trying to do something about similar
situations. Carroll is an athletic trainer.
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT),
first aid and CPR instructor, and is currently the dispatcher at Law Enforcement.
Carroll would like to start an organization called Campus Responder. It would

entail emergency medical personnel who'll
be sent to the scene of an accident or to someone who is suddenly ill on campus. They
could also assist trainers in transport to
hospitals.
Carroll became interested in starting this
organization because there have been times
he's been called to a scene of an accident or
when someone was seriously ill on campus.
These people called him because they knew
his qualifications. He would visit dorms
and would be called upon to see someone
who was hurt. A couple of times, while offduty at Law Enforcement, he would assist
police officers if someone needed help.
There is a contract between LHU and the
Lock Haven Ambulance Association
(LHAA) that provides emergency transport
to hospital without bilUng students. During
the day, when most injuries occur, the
LHAA rely on volunteers who will respond
to a call. If no one is available at the time, a
person can wait from 10 minutes to
whenever.
Carroll says Campus Responder will provide qualified personnel on campus who
will be able to pick up pagers while they are
on campus and if an illness or injury does

occur, they will be toned or pageu oui aiong
with an ambulance crew and/or paramedics
from the hospital if needed. This way,
assistance could be rendered immediately
with someone on campus only two to five
minutes away.
Qualifications needed
The kind of people needed for Campus
Responder should have some of the following qualifications: EMT, Basic, Intermediate, and/or Advanced Life Support, advanced first aid and CPR. Carroll
can teach advanced first aid and CPR and
non-credit EMT class is in the works for
next fall.
There has been a wide interest for Campus Responder. Carroll said Richard
Hepner, director of Law Enforcement and
Safety Division, thinks it's a great idea and
that students would be covered in such a
short amount of time.
Carroll said that Jay Young, chief of
LHAA, thought it was a great idea and
would like to see students involved and run
with the ambulance, especially during the
day when they are free.
Carroll said that Gary Interdonato, SCC
President, thought it was a very good idea.

Carroll is looking for financial support
from the Student Cooperative Council to
buy pagers which would be stored at Law
Enforcement and the call for the page
would come from the Communication
Center.
Carroll said there are people qualified in
these areas on campus. There are people
who had CPR and basic first aid classes
and, he personally knows seven EMT's.
Carroll said that he would like the first
meeting of Campus Responder to be next
Monday in Zimmerli. There would be signs
in Zimmerli stating where and when. The
first meeting would be sign ups,fiUingout
applications, presenting certification cards
and the possibility of getting Hepner and
Young to speak. Carroll would also like to
set up a meeting to go to an SCC senate
meeting to show there is a demand. Those
interested would learn about specialty
equipment from the LHAA such as the new
KED backboard. Oxygen, and adjuncts.
Carrol said that if Campus Responder is
passed by the Senate, he could see it becoming effective immediately as soon as the
SCC gives the necessary funds and the
equipment is bought.

Dorms going Co-ed? Girls saying *No!'
By Aimee Kalnoskas
It's the latest rage in Woolridge Hall.
The women there talk about it. They even
shout about it. And now they want
something done about it. But what? And
how?
The issue to the women living in
Woolridge is whether or not men should
live there, too. But the reality is that they
may not have a choice. It all began when
enough women seemed to want their hall
co-ed. The counselors in Woolridge
responded by designing a survey based
upon that feedback. That recently completed survey now finds that out of the 124
women surveyed (there are 147 in the dorm)
only 54 want the change. Yet the Office of
Student Life has chosen Woolridge as the
most likely candidate for housing the
cramped male residents.
According to Dr. Ronald Bossert, dean
of Student Life, the problem arises from
the growing male enrollment. In the past,
LHU has always had more women than
men, but for the past two years the tides
have turned and the men are matching the
women in enrollment. That means a housing shortage for the men.
"We didn't want to convert the dorms
last year because we wanted to see if it was
just a fluke or really a pattern," says
Bossert. "It seems now that the ratio will
continue to even off but you can't be sure."
This year, 649 men are housed in 362
rooms, while 717 women are housed in 452
rooms. That means almost three times as
many women have singles. Bossert doesn't
see this as an "equal opportunity" for the
men, particularly since men were housed in
temporary housing until November. He

SCJ Meeting
All members of the LHU Chapter
of the Society for Collegiate Journalists are urged to attend a reorganizational meeting on Tuesday,
April 3 at 1:30 p.m. in the lower level
of the PUB.
Any journalism major interested in
joining our chapter should attend this
meeting.

also stresses that singles will not even be an
option next semester regardless of any
change in any of the dorms.
"The increased male enrollment affects
singles campus-wide," says Bossert. "The
women in Woolridge will not be losing their
singles just because men might move in.
They would lose them simply because of the
increase in male enrollment."
Based on the results of the survey given
to Woolridge residents, it would be a big
mistake to make that dorm co-ed. As it
stands, Woolridge is a relatively quiet dorm
with little or no incidence of vandalism or
damage by residents, and the women take
pride in this. Many of those surveyed spoke
of the experience at the beginning of the
semester when the ground floor temporarily
housed men.
"Many of the guys were very nice but 1
believe there was an increase in destruction
and will be if the dorm goes co-ed."
Woolridge nicest dorm
"Woolridge is the nicest dorm on campus. Things were damaged on ground floor
that were not damaged before nor have
been damaged since. It was also a lot
noisier."
"1 don't want to have to worry about
moving out or having a noisier dorm
because guys are moving i n . "
The second big factor seemed to be
relocation. If room is to' be made
somewhere, the women feel it could best be
done elsewhere without changing the status
of their dorm. One Woolridge resident said
that she felt it would be "easier to change a
floor from female to male in an already coed dorm and move girls down here
(Woolridge) than to relocate."

The alternatives have not been overlooked by Student Life, either. They could
overload the co-ed buildings but there are
other things to consider. For instance, there
are now two floors of women and two
floors of men in North Hall. If you take out
one floor of women and replace it with men
you have a three to one ratio that Bossert
says he "wouldn't be comfortable with."
Moving men to Smith would add to the
overflow of men in that dorm. Gross haU is
now 50-50.
Logical thing to do
"The logical thing to d o , " says Bossert,
"is to convert either Russel or Woolridge.
We need to balance it out somewhere. Even
changing one floor of McEntire would stiU
not accommodate all the males."
It is a fact, however, that the issue to go
co-ed did originate in Woolridge but when
it came down to a vote most said no. The
upperclassmen attribute the initial interest
to mostly freshmen because they were
assigned to this dorm and therefore not
familiar with co-ed dorms. Yet, of the
freshmen surveyed only 52% actually voted
for the change. In fact, one freshman was
so opposed that she felt the change might
change her mind about school.
Forced to move out
"1 came as a freshman and I never expected to be forced to move out so guys
could move in. If 1 had known that, I
perhaps would have reconsidered the dorm
or school. I don't want to have to worry
about more noise and try to study and keep
my grades up at the same time. We should
have been warned that this could happen
before we moved in."

Despite the overall negative reaction by
the Woolridge residents, they will probably
not have a choice in whether or not their
dorm turns co-ed. But they feel that their
vote should count and will actively fight
against the change. Bossert says he is open
to alternatives and suggestions by the
residents but that something will have to
change next semester in order to house the
male residents fairly.

Greeks sponsor another Airband Contest

By Jay Zech
What do pregnant ladies getting smacked around at weddings, ZTA's with greasy
hair, Keith Partridge, and a guy who sings to wrenches have in common?
The answer: the 1984 All Greek Airband Contest. Seven groups competed Tuesday
night in front of approximately 350 people in Price Auditorium for the $50 first prize.
There was an air of excitement and hurried preparation backstage before the start of
the show. People getting dressed, organizing props, and putting finishing touches to
their acts which all added to the frenzied atmosphere. Most of the acts claimed that they
were not nervous. But, for a few groups, their nerves were as Micky Murgas said,
"tampered with."
The first group up was the Beatles. Ron Stayer, one of the Beatles, said before going
on stage, "We had a hard time getting John (Lennon) back for this. But we're gonna
give it our best."
Up next was heavy duty Rocker Billy Idol. After an energetic performance of "Dancing With Myself" there were some technical difficulties with the sound equipment. During the break, a few groups decided to get into the showbiz act and gave a spirited performance of "The Star Spangled Banner." After the trouble was fixed, Billy (Mike
Hess) from TKE came back and rocked the crowd with "Rebel Yell." This high energy
group left the stage a shambles after their slam dancing and other forceful tactics.
Van Halen was up next. Rocco Pallotto (AXP pledge) or Eddie Van Halen had major
trouble keeping the microphone in its holder while singing " J u m p . " He finally gave up
and let the microphone hang while singing into the microphone stand. Other than that,
the group gave a gutsy performance filled with jumps and a lot of running around.
Greg Garner of PMD had a very good performaiKe as Billy Joel. He sang to a wrench
as Kathy Kleppinger pranced up and down the stage as an "Uptown Girl."

Garner had women at the rail of the stage screaming and waving their hands while he
was singing "Tell Her About It." Three girls finally ran on to the stage for a quick kiss
during the act. Behind Garner 11 impressive people swung back and forth in time to the
music to give a big band image. These people looked and acted like they had been on the
Lawrence Welk show for 10 years.
Billy Idol was again portrayed this time by AET sisters. Poor Tama Grey, the pregnant bride in "White Wedding" was beaten unmercifully by Billy Idol (Sandy Barginnier.)

Extravagant
costumes and unique
props were again evident at the air band
contest.

The Partridge Family took the stage next. Keith Partridge sang while the rest of his
mellow family helped out in the background.
The group then aged the family 10 years from the first song they sang and reaUy picked up the tempo with everybody getting a little bit more animated.
Last but not least were the ZTA's doing "Grease." A leather-coated Joanne Villarreal played John Travolta and Patte Kiefer and Diane Menago alternated as Olivia
Newton-John. The first song Villarreal and Kiefer were with their own gangs the greasy
headed T-birds and the Pink Ladies singing "Summer Lovin'." The second song
Menago did some fancy synchronized stepping with Villarreal to "You're the One That
1 Want."
After Grease got off the stage Steve Williams, the announcer, came out and thankfully didn't attempt to tell a joke. He asked for the ballots which had been given randomly
to the audience. The judges were supposed to judge on pantomiming, costume/dress,
portrayal of the group and audience reaction.
While the votes were being tabulated "The Electric Breakers" gave a very professional encore performance of "Thriller."
Third place went to TKE and Billy Idol. Second place went to PMD and Billy Joel.
First place, and the $50 check, went to the ZTA's and Grease.
After the announcement there were' ZTA's flying all over the place. When the
shouting and hugging stopped Diane Menago had only one thing to say, "That was
great!!"

Theatre Review

Comedy highlighted by top performances
By Andrew Ashenfelter
"Blithe Spirit" is one of those plays that is often defined as a comedy of manners in which
sophisticated, English characters ponder cerebrally through improbable situations. This Noel
Coward farce, being performed tonight and tomorrow night in Sloan Theatre at 8 p.m., is filled with a large number of improbable elements and a grand assortment of laughs as weU.
Two excellent performances by John Rathmell and Karen Clauser contribute enormously to
sense of decorum in the midst of absurdity which is strived for in the play.

Rathmell portrays Charles, an English writer, as a superficially suave gentleman with a witty
remark for everything. We soon see, however, that under his cool exterior, Charles really has
troubles. His whole life is nothing but a series of domineering women, the latest being his first
wife, Elvira. Charles is very disturbed, then, when Elvira, who has been dead for seven years,
reappears determined to wreak havoc with Charles's second marriage. RathmeU shows us a
Charles who desperately tries to keep control of an impossible situation by giving weak
assurances to his wife Ruth. This is evidenced when he suggests that if she would only make an
effort, Elvira and themselves might all "all have a jolly good time." As things progress it is
both Charles's first and second wives who are trying to gain control over him.
Clauser as Madame Arcati, an eccentric medium, is hilarious as she flits across the stage
feeling the air for "ectoplasm" and making astral comments concerning such matters as the
unreliability of Indian spirit contacts since they have a tendency to "off into their tribal
language, which is naturally uninteUigible." Her full-hearted contacts with the spirit always
seem to make things just a bit worse.
Also worth mentioning is Mary Terese Daly as Edith, a somewhat overenergetic maid with a
hidden secret.
Where "Blithe Spirit" runs into trouble is the pacing of the dialogue. There are far too
many uncomfortable pauses and in a comedy, where fast give and take is an important ingredient, this is particularly distracting. One suspects that some of the actors are not quite sure
where there next line is coming from, which may also explain the few flubs and run-on lines.
Projection is also a problem among some members of the cast as is evidenced by the necessity
of miking the show.
These minor defects, however, are more than made up for by the crisp writing which Noel
Coward provides as he gives the audience hundreds of witticisms to chew on about the realities
of modern life.
Make-up and costumes are finely detailed, especially those of'the spirits who are given a
grayish appearance that is not quite of this world.
The set design is the best since "Angel Street" as it depicts a fashionable EngUsh home suddenly thrown into supernatural chaos. The set comes very much alive: books tumble onto the
fioor, pictures fall and doors open all without visible assistance.
Also appearing in the cast are Beth SeweU as Ruth, Chris Oeste as Dr. Bradman, Sandra
Kozden as Mrs. Bradman, and Bonnie Castner as Elvira.
