The Lock Haven Flood Authority, the federal agency responsible for building the dike-levee project and purchasing the parking area, had agreed to let the University use the lot until May 1, according to Dr. Dean Phelps, vice president of finance and administration. This week, the federal government, who owns the lot, demanded that the University pay for the privilege of using the lot, knocking down the land's assessed value from $421,000 to $318,000. The University would paying a quarter of the lot's assessed value to rent it for three months. The federal government has said that if the University does not accept the offer they may chain off the lot, closing it to University use. Phelps called the government move "a hell ofa dumb thing to do." Phelps explained that the federal government had agreed to cut the $100,000 rental fee to $70,000, but that both the University and the former owner of the land, the Commonwealth Department of General Services (DGS), found the offer unacceptable. Liability concerns over the lot inspired the government plan, said Phelps. The director of the flood authority could not be reached for comment. In a letter to the University's DGS legal counsel in Harrisburg, Phelps said "I'm sorry to confess that I continue to be at a loss as to how anyone could conclude that three months of parking privileges for the 150 car portion of the lot here in Lock Haven is worth $100,000." Phelps said the University and DGS have initiated a lawsuit to "fight for the true value of the parking area." The site had been appraised by DGS at $421,000. Phelps said the new parking lot next to the PUB will be more than able to handle the commuter cars when the old area closes. Phelps said the conversion of the field hockey field to a new lot was "an example of inspired planning. I don't know what we'd do without it." The University is currently working with city officials to get the road along the railroad tracks re-zoned from one way to two way to improve access to the new lot. Construction of a second parking lot next to Zimmerli Gymnasium is continuing. According to Phelps, the cost of the project has exceeded the the original proposal, forcing the University to put plans for converting the Silkmill property to parking on hold. The University had requested additional funds to cover the Silkmill construction, but Phelps explained that the proposal was rejected by Gov. Robert P. Casey after it had cleared the state legislature. Last semester, Phelps explained to the Eagle Eye that construction on the Silkmill site was also being delayed by the presence of asbestos and other chemicals. The site must be cleaned up before construction can begin. After the recent snowfall students could not resist a good old fashioned snowball fight in front of Smith Hall (photo by Lisa Vasicek). Yeakel revisits campaign life "The best way to predict the future is to create it." - former senate candidate Lynn Yeakel by Marlene Kern Eagle Eye News Reporter Yesterday morning, Lynn Yeakel, the Pennsylvania Democratic elect ballot nominee for the November Senate election, spoke to a room full of students and faculty in the PUB. Close to a year ago, Yeakel and her committee started the campaign that would lead to one of the most expensive senatorial races in the history of the United States. $15 million later, Lynn Yeakel found out what it was like to lose as well as win one of the most closely watched campaigns of 1992. Yeakel, who was defeated by Arlen Sfjector, the 12 year Pa. Senate incumbent, said that although the November 3 loss was painful and sad it was also exhilarating. Yeakel emphasized that close to 3 million people voted for her. This consisted of 47 percent of the voters, the same amount of votes President Bill Clinton received in Pennsylvania. Throughout her campaign, Yeakel met many politicians, including President and Mrs. Clinton, who in the last three out of the four days of his campaign came to Pennsylvania to help narrow the margin of votes between Yeakel and Spector. Yeakel also learned many "lessons" throughout her campaign. She realized the "tremendous spirit of citizenship" in Pennsylvania that needs to be ignited. She found a great deal of apathy and changes in attitudes among the young people today. She also realized that she "picked a mountain to climb" by running against Spector, a 25 year politician. Yeakel said that the senate did not represent the population of the United States, a fact that inspired her to run. The former candidate also said that "we need to have leadership based on population, like gender, race, or religion." "The year of the woman is beginning," Yeakel said, "it's good to see 6 percent of the senate is women rather than 2 percent." She said she was thrilled with the women who ran for senate. Although there were benefits, there were also tribulations. Yeakel emphasized that money played too important a role in her campaign as well as in other political campaigns. In her 15 years of fund raising for women, infants, and children groups, Yeakel raised a little over $1 million, while during less than one year of cam^ paigning, she raised over $15 million. Yeakel said that the mass media treats women differently. She said her age was always given in articles, and comments on her hair, jewelry, and nails were always being made. She felt that the mass media always referred to her as somebody's "mom, wife, or daughter." Through her rapid rise and fall of popularity, Lynn Yeakel will continue to tour Pennsylvania and run, once again, for Senate. "The best way to predict the future," Yeakel said, "is to create it." 2 EagleEye news Friday, February 19,1993 Police Beat Trustees discuss campus difficulties by Amy Carlson Eagle Eye News Reporter by Jennifer Baer Eagle Eye News Reporter Alcohol in dorms: Feb. 12 - Law En forcement was summoned to one of the residence halls. The officers reported to the room and found two males of legal age drinking beer. This case is being handled by Student Life. Security hazard: Feb. 13 - There was a student found propping open one of the doors to a residence hall. The student was warned of the security hazard of such an act. Problems facing the University due to budget cuts, changes in telephone preregistration, and new residence hall policies were discussed at the council of trustees meeting held yesterday in Akeley Hall. Dr. Mary Pursell, vice president of academic affairs, addressed the effects of the budget cut. The elementary education and health science majors have been capped, and the faculty is down in "teaching power," Pursell stated. According to President Craig Dean Willis, the number of students attending LHU this semester is down two percent in order to meet enrollment goals. The problem of students graduating in four years was also addressed by Pursell, who said approximately 25 to 27 percent of students at the University graduate in this amount of time. Pursell said a survey is being prepared for students who have been here for more than four years to find out the reasons why they have not yet graduated. One reason it is taking students longer to graduate is because fewer courses are being offered. Pursell said it is hoped that enrolling fewer students will ease this prob- Graduating student opens trustee position by Lisa Thomas Eagle Eye News Reporter The student position on the council of trustees will be opening later this semester as the current trustee, Hindi Sanders, prepares to graduate.

Having attended LHU for the past three years, I have noticed that LHU, like most smaller colleges, tends to be somewhat conservative. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. It is, perhaps, a universal characteristic of the smaller university. That is why 1 was quite surprised when 1 heard about the music choice for the Spring 1993 Commencement. I applaud the LHU Orchestra in its bold and progressive decision to do away with the usual graduation dirges of "Pomp and Circumstance" and the like, opting instead to play "Louie Louie" as we graduates march onto the field (or into the gymnasium, depending on the weather). And the recessional they have chosen, Billy Joel's "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" really captures the spirit of "moving on to bigger and better things" that we seniors share. The repertoire they have chosen reflects our diversity, our creativity, and our upbeat outlook on our futures. Theirs was a decision that required courage. It required vision. It was a decision that will truly add to the memories we will share concerning our graduation. Although some feathers are likely to be ruffled by their decision, I for one am pleased. I truly think their music choice is appropriate and pertinent to the situation. Bravo for your decision, LHU Orchestra. See you May 8.

Accompanied by seven teachers and the principal. Dr. Lawyer Chapman, the students attended classes, met with LHU students and stayed overnight in residence halls as part of a program to encourage minority students to pursue post-secondary education. The Lock Haven University-William Penn Partnership has been established through a $95,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Social Equity. The partnership is designed to provide students with an opportunity to work toward gaining college credit, while teaching them good study habits and exposing them to cultural experiences in rural Pennsylvania. "This program demonstrates the ability of a higher education institution located in rural Pennsylvania to join hands with a large urban high school to develop a program that will mutually benefit both institution's programs," said Dr. Betty Schantz, the assistant dean of the College of Education and Human Services. Sixteen ninth grade high school students, selected by William Penn faculty, will attend LHU for three consecutive summers. After completing the program, students will have earned 12 college credits and will be able to enter Lock Haven University or one of the other State System of Higher Education universities as second semester freshmen. William Penn High School, which is comprised predominantly by minority students, is "in the pocket of poverty," according to school administrator and program coordinator Ms. Ronnie Collins. Several programs have been established between the high school and local colleges, Collins said, but the LHU Partnership is the first program which actually allows the students to earn college credits while experiencing all aspects of campus life. "This could be a great environment to free them up from what they deal with daily," said William Penn teacher Susan Fossler. Most of the students, who attend grades nine through 12 at the inner city Philadelphia school, said they enjoyed their two-day visit to Lock Haven, noting that they would have liked to spend more time on campus. Although the trip was delayed by snow, the students were able to attend English, psychology, and health classes followed by a planetarium show put on by professor Donald Brobst. Students also attended the Modern Dance Club concert in Price Performance Center, which was choreographed by professor Howard Lucas and students involved in the club.

Mary Evelyn Morrero now holds the responsibility of representing all Catholic college/university students in the United States. She must also be present at events The Eagle Eye is looking for a few good reporters to cover the news in and around campus. All interested are welcome to attend the Eagle Eye meetings on Tuesday and Thursday at 1 p.m. in the office on the lower level of the PUB. such as an International meeting and World Youth Day where the Pope will be present. Morrero is the first student from the University's campus ministry to receive this position. "It is a really big privilege to have an LHU student represent all Catholic students in the U.S.," said Morrero. Morrero, now a senior, has been involved with Newman since her freshman year. Last year Morrero held the International Liaison position on the Executive Board, which is comprised of 5 national representatives who, in turn, represent 5 different regions of the U.S. This made her eligible for the chairperson position because every year one of the five representatives gets elected. Approximately 450 people attended the NCSC conference and, according to Morrero, all individuals have a chance to vote in the elections for chairperson. Morrero explained that there is an executive director who basically is the contact between World Youth Day and NCSC.

Beltran Eagle Eye Features Reporter In celebration of Black History Month, Sherren V. McKenzie, a creative expressionist, performed a two-part show under the theme "A Tribute to the North Star" Monday night in the PUB. McKenzie, an active, multiskilled dramatist, stressed the need to celebrate one's differences and history. The 1993 Fellowship Award Recipient of Interdisciplinary Arts emphasized, "Be proud of your mommas and your papas ... Be proud of your legacy." The first part of the performance was devoted to slave ancestry. McKenzie entered the room dressed as a slave and opened with an original monologue entitled "Whut We lus and Whut We Wuz," a piece inspired by former students who were embarrassed of their heritage. She then sang "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and demonstrated call and response chanting songs with audience participation through "Oh, Mary, Don't You Weep" and "I know the Lord Has Laid His Hands on Me." She ended the first half of the presentation with another personal dramatization called "Bound or Free ... I Wonder," in which she shed her slave clothes to be only seen in her modern-day African American attire. During the intermission, student Terrance Bradford entertained the well-attended event by re-enacting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. The second part was dedicated to "guiding lights," McKenzie saluted James Weldon Johnson by giving her rendition of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," and sung Langston Hughes' "The Negro Speaks of Rivers." In addition, she presented her interpretation of Maya Angelou's "On the Pulse of Morning." In her finale, McKenzie received a standing ovation after singing Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings," while showing slides which depicted portrayals of African American culture. Student LaShawn Monroe said, "I thought she was very moving and was impressed with the quality of her performance. I'm glad I came."

This Indian dish, which sounds exotic but only consists of peas, cauliflower, and potatoes, was a regular item on the menu of Reader Services Librarian Caryn Carr. Carr said she cooked Indian and other exotic dishes for fellow students while working on her master's degree in medical librarianship at Case Western Reserve University. After getting her master's degree, Carr said she worked as medical librarian in such varied places as Chicago and Altoona. Carr said she then went to Penn State and Shippensburg University, working as media librarian in both places. Carr said that since she came here, she has become involved in the Lock Haven Community Chorus. Singing in local choral groups has taken Carr farther and farther away from her central Pennsylvania home. "The Pennsylvania Choral has gone to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and -France. We were even invited to sing at No tre Dame," Carr said. Carr said she has also gone to Windsor and London on trips with the American Library As sociation, of which she is an active member. All this from an Ohio native who has wanted to be a librarian ever since her days at West Branch Valley high school. Although Carr said she has always had library work in mind, she noted that her family also had an influence. "My father was an elementary school principal and my mother was a reading teacher. I didn't want to teach but I wanted to be involved with education in some way," Carr said. Carr said she is very satisfied with her work. "I'm a career person. I have no maternal instinct, even though I love my nieces and nephews. Besides, students are my family." Concerning her real family, Carr said she would like to make a family tree to trace her lineage to people who knew Thomas Jefferson and others who owned part of Manhattan.

This was the first I had ever gone running, and I soon found out I wasn't missing out on much. For one thing, running is (I apologize to all of those who enjoy the sport) stupid. My friends and I leave a perfectly warm building to run in the freezing cold for two miles. The real irony is that our final destination is the nice warm building we had started from. Doesn't this seem insane? I am ruining a perfectly good pair of sneakers and giving myself heart palpitations so I can go to the very same place 1 left! Now you may be asking why I would do such a terrible thing to myself on purpose. Well, the reason for my running is the reason for everything else men do: women. Yup, that is the motivation for just about every male action in recorded history. We do it to meet, attract or impress women. Not for sex, companionship, or the need to grow as a person by sharing one's experiences with someone else, but because we are sick and tired of hanging out with other men. If you put a bunch of reasonably intelligent men together in a room, they will suddenly turn into a group of cretins who can only speak in monosyllables. 1ST MAN: What do you want to do? 2ND MAN: 1 don't know What do you want to do? REPEAT They'll go on like this for hours, until one brave soul finally comes up with the idea (I know this sounds wild and crazy) of watching sports on TV. What sports do we watch, you may ask. Any sport. My roommate and I have spent hours at a time watching professional wrestling. You heard me right. Two reasonably intelligent people who have about a million better things they could be doing will watch grown men with face paint and aluminum jump suits beat the hell out of each other. Men will also watch bowling, golf or even pool on TV. 1 personally believe the male inability to communicate goes back to the stone age when groups of cave men would go out hunting so they could find food and get out of doing house work. The group would close in on a sabertooth tiger and just when they were about to strike, one cave man would say something like, "Oo oo, yabba dabba cuum by ya yinky dinky dumm de dumm dum." (Translation: "Hey guys, I was wondering if you think my new club goes with my eyes.") This would startle the sabertooth away and the group would club the loudmouth and bring him home as dinner. So you see, when guys get together they are afraid to talk because deep down they have an inborn fear that they will become leftovers in some sort of prehistoric refrigerator. The only way for guys to actually do anything aside from watching sports or getting drunk is if they do it with a woman. (When I say 'it' I mean 'anything aside from watching sports or getting drunk' not the big 'IT.' I just wanted to clear that up for those people with sick minds and, let's face it, those people are most of my readers.) The problem is that men have no idea how to start a relationship with a woman. Because of this, men do everything in their jrawer to make themselves more attractive so females will ask us out and remove the burden from our shoulders. It would be nice if things worked out this way, but it never does. Usually, something like this happens. MAN: Well, uh, I was, um, wondering if, er, you would like to do something? Uh. WOMAN: Like what? MAN: I don't know. What do you want to do? REPEAT Sounds pretty hopeless, doesn't it? Oh, well, I'm going out for a jog. If you don't hear from me next week, I'll probably be frozen next to the road somewhere. UPDATE: Since first writing this column, I have met what may well be the perfect girl. She loves wrestling.

Why do hot dogs come eight to a pack while the hot dog buns come six to a pack/ Why exactly do fools fall in love? It's questions like these that get my brain pondering over a few of my own. Maybe you can help me out on some them. 1. Why isn't an African American history course mandatory as a general education requirement. World history means history of the entire world and Africa is part of it. 2.

Why is it when an African American student shows pride in their heritage they are called "too black?" 8.

These artists were like an oxymoron and fell off the charts just as fast as they jumped on. Examples of such artists are Christian metal band Stryper, and white rapper Vanilla Ice. One of the bands who was unfortunately trapped into this group was black metal band Living Colour (even though Mother's Finest were the first way back in the '70s). Well, some of you probably haven't heard much of Living Colour since "Cult Of Personality" or "Open Letter (To A Landlord)," but they're still around and are soon to release their third album. Stain (Epic Records). One of the great things about being part of Toxic Radio is that I get to hear albums months before they're released. I'm not exactly sure when this album will be released (1 think some time in March), so let this be a warning so you save up enough money when it does come out. To be honest with you, 1 thought Living Colour was finished as a band when I heard that bassist Muzz Skillings left the band. But he was replaced by Doug Wimbish, who happens to be one of the best bassists around, and he just might be the reason for Living Colour's more daring change in sound. Overall, this album is a lot heavier than the other two, but it does have many other styles as well, my favorite track on the album is "Auslander," which has this eerie, spooky kind of sound to it while the heaviness drives you to the point where you're not sure whether you should slam dance or do the "Thriller" dance (The Thrillermosh?). Other cuts include "Go Away," "This Little Pig," "Mind Your Own Business," and the first single "Leave It Alone." This album is so good it makes Vivid sound like a joke. This is probably the best album of the year so far. And if you somehow missed it, pick up their Time's Up album while you're at the record store. Stain has not come out yet, so be sure to get it when it does. category, but the work they did together on this album really shows. By the way, there was a mistake in last week's headline. It said that Ronnie Wood was the Rolling Stones' drummer. That was incorrect (not my fault). Wood is the rhythm guitarist. Maybe the headline should have said "Stone's strummer goes solo" instead of "drummer." Next week we'll switch from the Stones to the Beatles when I review the latest album from^ Paul Mc(partney._ Stay tuned. I ANNOUNCEMENTS Earth Day!!

One member in particular. Amy Dante, holds her field hockey career here in a very high regard. The Neshanic Station, New Jersey native found out about Lock Haven, and the field hockey program in a rather unusual manner. "I was never recruited by Lock Haven, but after a neighbor of mine told me about the school my father and I decided to check it out. At first I didn't like it but after meeting Head Coach Sharon Taylor, my thoughts began to change. When we first talked she wanted to know about me as a person, and not just a player," Dante explained. The Universities of Delaware, Maryland, West Chester and East Stoudsburg were other schools that Amy was looking into. When Amy initially came to Lock Haven she got much experience playing forward line for the junior varsity team. Experience which was"good for her and the other younger players." She was glad she got the playing time because when called upon to play varsity, she was ready. The right inner forward started for varsity her junior year and went on to gain first team All-Conference honors. "I think the biggest thing that drove me to do well, was a letter Coach Taylor would send to everyone on the team. It would have in it a summer workout program, and then it would go on to explain how she has recruited many new players. It was like a reminder letter for us to be in shape and ready to play come pre-season," said Dante. She would even hang the letter up in her room as an incentive. This past year Amy was on her way to another great season of play, until a severe injury sidelined her. It was in the ninth game against Mansfield University, that she was charging to the net looking to score on an initially saved shot on goal. Instead of the goalie kicking the ball out, she sent it straight up, directly Rt Amy's head. "I '.dd no time to react, since I was running right toward the goal!" The ball struck her in the face with such forcethat it frac- tured her eye socket and broke her cheek bone in three places. This devastating injury had a recovery period of six weeks. Which, at the time, would have been right when post season play would begin. Her doctor and parents refused to let her play in order for her to heal properly. "Even throughout the championships, I never felt like I wasn't part of the team. Even though 1 was not playing I would give what ever support 1 could to the team," said Dante. It was the hardest thing she's ever had to go through, but after receiving the support she needed from her friends, teammates, and fellow Tri-Sigma sisters, she was able to deal with it better. Even after only playing half the season. Amy received a place on the second team All-American list. "It was a major shock, I couldn't believe it! My first thought was that they just needed to fill one more position, so they took me," she said in jest. When asked what her fondest memory will be, she replied," The feeling I got during the last ten seconds of the National Championship game against Bloomsburg. To hear the crowd chanting down the time, and us being ahead 3-1, I'll never forget it!" Amy, who has played field hockey for eight years, wanted to thank the school, her friends, her sorority sisters and especially her teammates- all of whom supported her during this past season and through her injury- Amy poses before the '92' season (photo from Eagle Eye file) Dave Wilmot: a Bald Eagle who earned his wings by Ron Newlin Eagle Eye Sports Reporter In 1992 the LHU Football Team did not have one of its best seasons. They just couldn't seem to get things going their way. While the team was struggling, Steve Wilmot, the team's starting right guard for the past three seasons, was having another all around solid year for the Bald Eagles. While a student at Springfield High located in Montgomery County, PA, Wilmot achieved many athletic accomplishments. He started three years of varsity football on the defensive line. In his senior year, Wilmot received a great deal of recognition and was named to the Senior First Team All Suburban One and First Team All Montgomery County. The success he had in high school gained gained him much attention from division three schools including Lycoming and Albright Colleges. Wilmot, believing in his own ability, decided to come to the Haven, a division 2 school, as a walk-on. After landing a spot on the roster and being switched to the offensive line, he took advantage of this opportunity. Through a lot of hard work and intense training, Wilmot had earned a scholarship by his sophomore year. By the end of his senior season, thirty three consecutive games as a starter later, he had become team co-captain. He earned a spot on the all PSAC second team and won the Steven Jacobs award two years in a row, an honor given to the offensive lineman with the greatest overall athletic and academic achievement. The senior co-captain was also listed in "Who's Who" among American college/university students. Football was not the only aspect in which Wilmot excelled. He has one of the highest G.P.A.'s on the entire football team carrying slightly over a B average and plans to go on to graduate school to study further in the field Of Biology/Chemistry. Wilmot, still having a love for the game Dave (No. 66) blocks for the Eagles on a field goal attempt. (photo courtesy of Dave Wilmot) of football, will student coach for the Eagles this spring and next fall and would also, someday, like to coach high school football, preferably at his alma mater. ip(©]^ir Friday, February 19,1993 Eagle Eye 13 Boxing Club to overtake Field House The LHU Boxing Club will convert Thomas Field House into a mini Madison Square Garden by placing a boxing ring center stage. Tomorrow will mark the fifteenth anniversary of the club's annual "Homeshow." The show includes boxers from eight universities, three of which rank among the nation's top five. The schools slated to attend are; Central Connecticut (CC), Penn State (PSU), Virginia Military Institute (VMl), Westfield University (WU), Shippensburg (SU), Army, University of Nevada-Reno (UNR), and LHU. UNR is currently the nation's top team and they will bring a contingent of at least four boxers, all with national credentials under their belts. Two of these seasoned fighters will step into the ring with LHU boxers. The event will be broken into two divisions, novice and open competition. Each division will contain 10-12 bouts. The novice division will be held during the afternoon and is open to everyone at no charge. The of)en competition will commence at 7:30 p.m., and LHU students with , validated IDs are admitted for free. The show promises to be an action packed affair. To open the novice competition, Lincoln Wooten will face VMI's Steve Lions in the 1471b weight class and become the first LHU fighter to take the ring. Next up for the Haven will be John Cox. Cox will knock heads with PSU's Joe Coombs in a 1391b bout. The last LHU fighter in the novice division will be Dusty Durand, who qualifies for open competition. Due to a limited number of slots on the open card, Durand will box in the afternoon. His adversary will be Scott Karuzas from WU. The open competition will begin with the Haven's own Dan Carr going toe-totoe with WU's Don Brown. Carr is a senior and is competing in the 1901b class. Boxing in the third bout of the open card will be LHU's Josh Welty (1561b). Welty, a soph., will do battle with Bill O'Rourke ofSU. Freshman sensation Patrick Woody will face 2-time National Champion, Efren Mendoza (UNR), in one of the evening's most exciting fights. Chad Minor (LHU) will put his 3-0 record on the line as he squares off with PSU's David Justiniano. Minor, a junior, is currently having a strong season and looks to have a solid performance. The Haven's hard hitting Vince Zaleski will go to battle against UNR's Kevin Eppenger. This bout is going to be a war. Zaleski is coming off a KO in his last fight and Eppenger is a National Champion and 3-time All-American. Zaleski will be moving up a weight class (1801b), for this fight. LHU's highest ranked boxer, Jimmy Torres, a National Runner-up at 1251b in 1992, will box SU's Chris Hagen. Torres, an All-American, also makes a move up a weight class to 1471b and is currently the team captain. Some other fights to look for are Jim Cameron (Army) against Bill Bailey (UNR). Bailey was a National semi-finalist last year. PSU's Robert Rodgers will fight Scott Draper of SU in a 1471b bout. All-American David Bruce (VMl), will duke it out with UNR's Rick Jackson. Jackson is a National Champion. This year's "Homeshow" will be the biggest collegiate boxing event in the country. Currently the Lock Haven Boxing Club ranks among the nation's top six teams. The club hopes to qualify 6-8 boxers for the Eastern Tournament and this "Homeshow" will be a great opportunity to gain valuable ring experience. The man behind the machine is the boxing mastermind Dr. Ken Cox, Head Coach of the club. Cox works his magic in a small corner room on the second floor of Zimmerli. He takes in small bands of college students each year and produces perennial powerhouse teams. The "Homeshow" poses as an opportunity for Cox and his athletes to demonstrate their achievement to the University. So come down to Thomas Field House tomorrow and get ready to rumble!

Poster Eagle Eye Sports Reporter The Bald Eagle Icers traveled to Bloomsburg in order to take on the Huskies Saturday night. The venture proved to be a successful one for the team. It was particularly eventful for defenseman Brendon Howard and center Chuck Schweizer. Brendon was brought on to the second line of offense when regular left winger Andrew Davis was sidelined. Brendon stepped up with a "Gretzky" like performance. He scored five goals and Schweizer scored two. Together they accounted for all the Eagle's goals. After compiling a sizable lead, the defense shut down the Huskies offense. Dur- would like to welcome everyone to their annual Winter conditioning featuring: High impact aerobics & running ing the entire third period Bloomsburg could only manage three shots on goal. When the game came to a close the score favored the Eagles, showing a 7-3 slashing ofthe Huskies. The Haven Icers came back the next night for league play at the Penn State Ice Pavilion. Once again the Icers were forced to play short-handed. It seemed as if nothing they did was right. Their-passes weren't connecting and their shots were just off mark. Defensively, the Eagles played even worse. Despite a heroic effort from goalie Bill Brew, they allowed sevfen goals to be scored. In this sloppily played game, Brew was forced to undergo the likes of an artillery barrage and the Eagles fell 7-0.

However, Coach Elliston feels that his team would do even better if the weather would cooperate. "We are sort of staying even," said Elliston. "Our performances are not improving much due to lack of quality training sessions. It's just hard for a track team to really train in a couple of gyms." The women's team, sparked by the return of All-American high jumper Patti Smoker, showed no real ill effects of being forced to practice indoors. In her season debut. Smoker took first in the high jump, clearing 5'4" and just missing at 5'6". This qualified her for the East Coast Athletic Conference Meet and made her an NCAA provisional qualifier. Elsewhere in the jumping events, Tracy Trapp continued her stellar season, taking first in the long jump (17'1") and triple Crosby named PSAC player for ECAC meet jump (37'3"). Also grabbing places in the jumping events were Natalie Jackson, who took fourth in the triple jump, fifth in the high jump, and sixth in the long jump, and Leslie Kopp, who finished fifth in the long jump. The women were strong in the sprinting events. In the 60 yard dash. Tiffany Thomas was third (7.3 sec.) and Tina Gilbert finished right behind her teammate, taking fourth with a time of 7.4 seconds. Tracy Trapp showed that she isn't just a star in the jumping events by placing second in the 60m high hurdles, and tying for sixth place in the 220 with her teammate Tina Gilbert. In the middle distance events the women placed in the top six in two events. Shelle Roush dashed her way to a fifth place finish in the 440, with a time of 64.0 seconds. Rachel Bawer grabbed fifth in the 880 with a time of 2:34. The 4x400 relay team turned in another spectacular performance, sprinting its way to a fourth place finish with a time of 4:26.1. The men did most of their damage in the middle and long distance events. Scott Susten took fifth in the 880 (2:02), and Steve of the Men's & Women'sTrack Kravitz dashed his way to a sixth place finish in the 440. The men finished sixth in both the 2 mile (Aaron Russell - 9:45) and the 3 mile (Ron McMichael - 15:22). The men turned in good performances in the relays as well. In the 1 mile relay, the team of Shawn Ivie, Mark Truman, Bo Thurman, and Steve Kravitz ran its way to a fifth place finish with a time of 3:33. The two mile relay team paced itself to a fourth place finish, running a time of 8:25. The lone bright spot in the jumping events was Glen Allison. He vaulted 6'6", which was good enough for a second place finish in the high jump. "We picked up two more ECAC qualifiers in Patti Smoker (high jump) and Ron McMichael (5000m)," said Coach Elliston. "We had a good meet, despite the fact that we were a little short in some areas due to illnesses and injuries." Elliston hopes that his troops can continue their good fortune this weekend when they travel to Bucknell for a quad meet with Bucknell, Bloomsburg, and Susquehanna. week Hoopers look to rise above remaining opponents by Dan Murray Eagle Eye Sports Reporter The Bald Eagles suffered a major setback in their quest for a PSAC playoff spot this past Wednesday night at Clarion as they dropped a crucial game to the Golden Eagles, 78-57. The loss ended the Eagles two game winning streak and dropped the Eagles to 4-5 and third place in the highly competitive PSAC-West two games behind Clarion, which raised their record to 6-3 in the division with the win. The outcome may have been decided early on when Shon Crosby went down with a knee injury with 15 minutes remaining in the first half. Crosby sat for the rest of the half and watched Clarion build a nine point halftime lead. Todd Hawkins also was not up to par as he played with a fever. "It was a normal game until Shon went out, said Coach Blank. "From there we held close but then they built a nine point lead at the half. "We put Shon back in three minutes into the second half, but he wasn't the same from there," Blank continued. "Still, we were only down by seven with about three and a half minutes to play. We just made mistakes and poor decisions. "With Shon out, someone has to step up and fill the void. Tim (Smith), Harold (Tyson), an Vic (Watkins) had to come up big, but they didn't." For the game. Smith, Tyson, and Watkins shot 3 for 12, 3 for 7, and 6 for 18 respectively. Crosby, though being injured, shot 5 for 14. For the game, the Haven shot an abominable 31.9 percent from the field, including 2 for 13 from downtown. "In my opinion, we turned the ball over too much and we made mistakes at critical points ofthe ball game,'-' said Blank. The Haven turned the ball over 16 times. "We were still in the game and had a chance to win in my opinion," stated Blank. "From five minutes to three minutes were down 60-53 and had the ball three times with a chance to cut the lead to five. We just couldn't capitalize," Blank said. "After that, things got a little crazy. We were forced to foul, and I don't think they missed more than two free-throws down the stretch. They also hit a couple of three's and that's how the lead got stretched out to 21 points." Clarion made 13 of 15 foul shots from three minutes to play till the end of the game. Crosby and Watkins led the Eagles with 14 points a piece, and Smith added 10 points but hit only two of eight three point attempts. If the Eagles had defeated Clarion they would have moved into a tie with the Golden Eagles for second place. Only two teams from the division will advance to the conference playoffs. The Eagles put themselves in a position to play for second place by defeating Edinboro, 79-75, in an emotional game played at Thomas FieldHouse last Saturday. The game was close throughout with the score 33-33 at the half. Both teams didn't possess the hot hand in the first half as Edinboro shot 37 percent and the Eagles shot 31 percent. The game was still close through the second half as the lead repeatedly changed hands with neither team gaining an advantage until about five minutes remained. With 5:26 left, the Eagles took a 66-62 lead and extended it to 69-62. From there the Eagles didn't look back as they staved off the 'boro. Todd Hawkins played his best game of the season as he pulled .dovyn 11 boards and scored eight points including a thunderous dunk to increase the lead to 73-64 with 2:52 to play. Crosby had a typical game with 34 points and seven points. Crosby was named PSAC Player of the Week for his performance against the 'boro and his 38 point performance against lUP. Harold Tyson added 13 points and 11 rebounds and a highlight alley-oop from Crosby in the second half. The Eagles only shot 42 percent from the field a trend that would continue in their next game, which was a non-league contest against LeMoyne from Syracuse. LeMoyne put on a clinic on how to shoot, pass and rebound as they whooped the Haven, 91-72. LeMoyne shot a torrid 67 percent from the floor in the first half and 56 percent for the game. LeMoyne also shot an incredible 78 percent from three-point land and outrebounded the Eagles, 42-27. The Eagles were never really in it as LeMoyne jumped out to an 18-10 lead and never really looked back. The score at the half was 47-31 and the Haven had to play catch-up for the remainder of the game, something they weren't very good at. The Eagles did have one bright spot as Crosby played another solid game scoring 29 points. The Eagles are now 12-11 overall and 45 in the division, but unfortunately, they do not control their own destiny. "Right now we have to win our remaining three games and hofie that Clarion loses their three games," commented Coach Blank. "We're not in a very comfortable position right now but we have to just take care of ourselves and hope for the best. "It's going to take a minor miracle for us to get in (the playoffs), but crazier things have happened."

And, well, that sort of week does not do anything for IJniversity women's basketball Coach Frank Scarfo. "We only play well in stretches, which is real frustrating to me," Scarfo has said often during this season of close-but-no-cigar contests for the Lady Eagles. "If the kids could only put together a complete game, we'd be in good shape." But instead, the inconsistent women carry a record of 12-11 overall and 2-7 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. They did win a game over the past week ~ they downed LeMoyne College, a nonconference foe, 86-72 Monday night ~ but that victory was sandwiched by twin blowout losses to PSAC-West rivals Edint)oro and Clarion. The defeats were ugly ~ and that's put- Intramurals are in full ting it mildly. Edinboro simply ran the Lady Eagles out of Thomas Field House last Saturday, 95-56, and homestanding Clarion dealt them a nasty 107-67 loss Wednesday night. The complete whitewashes were surprising, however, considering the fact that the women have perpetually stayed in games this season. They had been beaten by margins of 15, 19, even 25 points earlier in the year, but those bulges did not grow large until late in the game. It was a different story against Edinboro and Clarion. The Lady Eagles had a knife stuck in them early. They had no chance to win down the stretch. What caused the routs? There is no single answer. Even Scarfo, who could do nothing to stem his team's fall last week, has been at a loss to describe the women this year. Inexperience. No patience. Anything can be mentioned. The matchup with Clarion, the PSACWest's top team, was a microcosm of the Lady Eagles' problems this season. For the entire first half, Scarfo's squad appeared swing...

They trailed by only one point at halftime, 37-36, after leading by as many as nine. But they disintegrated in the second half, allowing Clarion to score 70 points while putting in only 31 of their own. Good one moment, bad the next. It is the recurring theme of the women's season. Even in their confidence-building home win over LeMoyne Monday, LHU suffered lapses. They blew an eight-point first half lead before coming from behind to win late in the match, mostly on the strength of Marijo Martini's monster 22 point, 12 rebound game. But Scarfo knows that the uneven performances may end at any time because every game is a new game. So when the Lady Eagles travel to Slippery Rock for an afternoon contest tomorrow, Scarfo will be expecting a turnaround. After all, The Rock is one team LHU did defeat this year, back on Jan. 30. Cox^s men prove national ranking at PSU Invitational by Jason Orsin Eagle Eye Sports Editor The University Boxing team boxed successfully, defeating five of the seven opponents at the Penn State Invitational, last weekend. The Bald Eagle boxers performed as well as expected at this juncture of the season. "All seven boxers hung in there and boxed competitively," said Coach Cox. Freshman, Patrick Woody, 125, opened up the event with a convincing victory over Army's 1992 ECBA-Northeast Regional runner-up, Joe Sowers. Woody caught the cadet with a clean straight left to score an eight count in ten seconds of the first round. Woody continued to dominate the tough West Pointer using quick handspeed and footwork to evade the counter attack. Midway through the third round. Woody scored another eight count with a quick right and double left combination. Club leader, Vince Zaleski, moved up to 180 to box Pete Madrinan of Army at 180. Zaleski caught the larger opponent with a short left hook to the head, dropping the game West Point boxer. Referee Ken Cooper stopped the contest midway through the second round, moving Zaleski's record to 6-1. Cox commented"He is improving rapidly and has national potential at 172." Continuing his undefeated season, Chad Minor defeated Shippensburg's Bill O'Rourke. After a slow start. Minor came on strong in the second and third rounds landing combinations. The contest was stopped by the referee forty-six seconds Boxing into the third round. "Minor will be a force to be reckoned with by the time of the National Qualifier in mid March," said Dr. Cox. 1991 National runner-up, Jimmy Torres out-boxed Shippensburg's Chad Leisher all three rounds of the bout. Torres used his ring savvy to launch a counter attack against the bigger opponent to seal the vie- " tory in the third round. Torres will box at either 132 or 139 at the Regional competition in hopes of securing a spot at nationals. Josh Welty suffered his first collegiate defeat against VMI's veteran boxer Eric Yi. Welty had several clean scores but the tough southpaw edged him in the second and third rounds. "Welty has good potential," said Cox "He could be a strong 147 pounder by the end ofthe season." Boxing veteran. Dusty Durand won a convincing win over Shippensburg's Brian Yocum at 156. According to Dr. Cox, "Durand has excellent defensive skills that Yocum could not penetrate, and he scored with good body shots in all three rounds." Newcomer,John Cox lost by decision in his first collegiate bout against, VMI's Herb Parsons, 147. After losing the first two rounds Cox regained his composure and came on strong with sharp counter punching to win the third round. Overall, the nationally ranked LHU team is continuing to improve in preparation for tomorrow's Homeshow.
