With the month of April designated as Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Lock Haven's Hilton Safe House is commencing its month-long efforts to raise awareness by sponsoring the Ninth Annual "Take Back the Night" march and rally on April 29. The march will begin at two locations, the Clinton County Courthouse and the WBPZ radio station, at 6:30 p.m. Participants will march to Thomas Field House for the rally at 7 p.m. During the march and rally, sexual assault victims will exhibit their stories and pain through artwork, tshirts and posters made by the survivors. At the rally, survivors will also share poetry, songs and stories of their trauma. When survivors share their pain, it is not only a release for the victims, according to Sharee Rodke, community educator for the Hilton Safe House. Instead, "It gives a face to the pain," she said. Also scheduled for the rally, Kim Sousa, an emergency room counselor for rape victims, will speak. Rodke said. A performance by singer Annette Furl, who wrote and recorded the song, "Take Back the Night," will follow. . "It's one of those three boxes of Kleenex nights," Rodke said. Thc event is open to everyone, whether to share stories or to show support against sexual violence. pCOple can also show their support for Sexual Assault Awareness Month by wearing a raspberry ribbon which lncy can pj up at t he Hilton Safe House.

His speech is part of the Second Annual International Visiting Lecturer Series which is held at Lock Haven University. He discussed the many different dialects that Spaniards speak in Spain. Castellano is the most commonly spoken language in present day Spain. He said this was due to the growth of the Castillians as they moved south during the reconquest of Spain. "America makes its contribution to high fashion in Spain," according Finding personal satisfaction and enjoying life were just two of the motivational messages delivered to Price Auditorium last Thursday evening, when Troy Drayton, the tight end for thc Miami Dolphins, came to He added, "You will find a Spaniard wearing a baseball cap, even though they hardly know baseball." This, he said, is taking away from the culture that presently exists in Spain. "They want to be Europeans the University. Never speaking in front of college students before. Drayton spoke openly and from his heart. He admitted that he was not a conventional speaker and that he came to the University for one reason: to Orr. without ceasing to be Spaniards," he said. This means that they do want to Americanize somewhat, as the rest of Europe has, without losing their strong Spanish roots. When commenting on whether the younger generation speaks English or Spanish primarily, he responded that they still speak Spanish primarily, but that English has emerged as the second language taught in Spanish schools. He said that they don't want to become Americans, but they love American culture. Professor William Orr from Madrid, Spain He also added that unemployment has a considerable impact on younger Spaniards. Unemployment is up to 19 percent, which is fairly high nationwide. Orr said that when a Spaniard graduates from college, they arc allowed to apply for unemployment if they don't find a job within six months. This may be one of thc reasons that their statistics are so high, he said. Overall though, unemployment Shana Grove/The Eagle Eye does not seem like that large of a problem. He said, "They spend more than they have, but always have savings when they are needed." Orr said this because parents of a Spanish couple will buy and furnish their home when the couple marries, This might also be because of the fact that there is a lot of money which is underground, or not accounted for by thc government. He said that this is an advantage for the young. because he cares about people, society, and how thc world will be shaped. The NFL and Make-A-Wish Foundation often get Drayton spoke of his career.

The Pennsylvania Statute states, "The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has the power to develop, jointly, with the Department of Higher Education and Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, a plan. Ten percent of the funds available for this plan, under the Title IV of Higher Education Act, may be used to permit students to perform community service." This community service program is currently being developed at the University. According to Anne Marie Turnage, director of community service, "College students play a Drayton admitted that the Rams weren't such a good team; only winning a total of seven games in three years. He said that he didn't feel his abilities were being utilized. Drayton was then traded to the Miami Dolphins in 1996. He was there less than one week and he was a starter for the next game. "I was put in the lire and had to respond," said Drayton. Yet. he said that all the money in the world cannot make someone happy.

Even after college, certain careers prove more injurious than others. According to Dr. Wright, professionals such as lawyers and accountants who rely on computers wiH continue to become more myopic long after they earn their degrees. Perhaps because the average U.S. citizen is more educated today than a generation ago, trends show the incidence of myopia has dramatically increased. Yet despite such alarming statistics, experts battle with the classic "nature vs. nurture" debate and cannot confidently identify the cause. "Nearsightedness may simply be a product of living in an industrial society," said John Shoemaker, assistant vice president at Prevent Blindness America. Researchers find few nearsighted individuals in traditionally organized Eskimo or Native American populations. Nevertheless, when a society starts to westernize, visual impairment often becomes more prevalent within the society. The number of Japanese myopia patients nearly tripled over a 24-ycar period of industrialization. Surprisingly, heredity isn't responsible for his foureyed curse. No, Lionel's myopia - nearsightedness is entirely self-imposed, resulting from long hours spent poring over the books and his PC. Sound familiar? Your intelligence may not make you go blind, but your education just might. If you plan to limit your reading in college to the text on the mac-and-cheese box, you have little to fear.

"You have complete control over the posture of the eye, the reading distance and the number of breaks you take," Dr. Bloom said. Students place themselves in danger when reading in poor lighting, working without breaks or sitting at poorly organized computer work stations/video display terminals (VDTs). "During finals I have trouble focusing and my eyes become irritated after long hours staring at the monitor." said Duke University sophomore Rob Dart. Shayna Maskell, a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania, reported, "I get dizzy, disoriented and (my eyes become) red. it's like studying gets you wasted." What Can We Do? Eyestrain, fatigue, and irritation do not merely suggest a temporary problem. They are indications that your habits may result in long-term damage. Blurry vision occurs when the muscles cannot relax as a result of reading for prolonged periods of time. This is thc eyes sending a visual stress warning.

Thc organization suggests positioning the monitor 18-26 inches away from your eyes at eye level or slightly below. Also, limit reflection by keeping the surrounding light fairly dim or by using an antiglare screen. Don't ignore the fact that something as simple as dust can seriously affect your monitor; keep it clean. Eat a healthy diet to avoid the freshman 15 and laser eye surgery.

Last week astronomers announced the discovery of a new galaxy and three new planets, all of which will need names. The newly discovered planets orbit the star Upsilon Andromedae, a star similar to our sun and merely 44 light years away, according to two independent research teams, one from San Francisco State University and the other from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass. This is the first time multiple planets have been detected around a star other than our sun, indicating full-blown solar systems may be common and our own is not a fluke of nature. Thc three new planets raise the tally to 18 extra-solar planets detected since 1995 when the first was discovered orbiting 51 Pcgasi. Thus far, all of thc extra-solar planets have been gas giants, much like Jupiter, but while Upsilon Andromedae is visible to the naked eye in the northern sky from June to February, its planets cannot be seen, even using our most powerful telescopes. Scientists inferred their existence by ob- serving perturbations in the moveof the star. The gravitational influence of large planets creates a slight wobble in thc star which we ment can observe. glomerations of matter that arose from the primordial soup of the early universe. With an estimated 200 billion stars similar to our sun in thc Milky Way galaxy alone, and 80 billion or so galaxies beyond, we will likely find a lot more planets. The real trick will not be locating them, but coming up with names for all of them. The International Astronomical Union is responsible for such things. They assign appropriate letters and numbers to all celestial bodies. These names, however, exhibit little imagination. Galaxies have names like NGC2683. representing their positions in the New General Catalog, and stars are called names like BD +36° 2147. In order to spice up the sky, the astronomical union allows the person who discovers an object to propose a name. Take minor planets in our solar system, for example. Thc IAU's Small Bodies Names Committee oversees the assigning of names to the 10,448 minor bodies, largely between Mars and Jupiter, and has set Unfortunately, Earth-like planets be detected with our current technology because their gravitational influence on a star is negligible. It is unlikely that the Upsilon Andromedae system has any Earth-like planets because of thc proximity of the three gas giants to the star. However, the possible existence of moons or- some rules.

Oh. mon dicu! PP r That's right, the United States has threatened to lock horns with the European Union unless it ends its decade-long ban on the importation of U.S. beef treated with Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH). It's not a threat to be taken lightly. Last month, the United States imposed 100 percent duties on over $520 million in European products for Europe's failure to buy more American bananas. But the lobbying power of the American rancher is much stronger than that of poor Miss Chiquita Banana. Backed by an Amer.can beef industry that alleges $500 million in annual losses and the chemical cronies at Monsanto (the manufacturer of BGH), the U.S. has threatened to impose 100 percent duties on some $900 million in Euro- pean products.

Fascinating fact: thc FU's ban on the use of recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone is up for review this year. The question one immediately raises, is how could the FDA, a consumer watchdog, okay BGH in the first place? Simple. Many of the officials that approved its use were former Monsanto lobbyists and executives. Furthermore, the FDA has ruled that tainted milk need not be labeled, meaning that consumers can't avoid Monsanto's BGH in their milk. That regulation was signed by a former Monsanto official. ("Breast cancer, rBGH and milk," Rachel's Environment Weekly, Issue 598). If BGH was truly a wonder-drug, one would expect Monsanto to be promoting stories about it. not suppressing them. But if Monsanto insists on thinking of BGH in terms of the '60s motto: "better living through chemistry," perhaps it should be laid to rest right next to thc decade's other wonder-drugs.

Perhaps this kind of unquestioned excess is the reason Americans in general are out of touch with the rest of the human race. The superfluous stupidity of multi-million dollar movies and MTV-type entertainment seem to work to separate our minds from the situation of most of humanity while our empty calories make us fat. I remember reading a letter a few months ago from a friend who lives in Northeastern Brazil. He wrote that a drought in his small farming community had forced many of the men to leave their families and to go across the country in search of work, In light of my own situation, I thought this was terribly ironic. I was annoyed at the extra half-hour of travel time it took to drive home through the 1-15 construction. At thc same time, these men had to leave their homes and travel days just to find very demanding and low-paying jobs. The irony of this circumstance showed me a little more about where of the pilot who pushed the button and killed those helpless refugees, Although there are many bravely risking their lives, many Americans can't imagine having to give up the comfort of their families and their family's consumption to fight for a more secure life. A recent Washington Post article provides an ironic contrast to the coverage of the conflict in Kosovo, The headline was "Bulging Rears, Slim Seats: Something Has to Give."

In her naive innocence Babe cuts out the front page article of the newspaper announcing her criminal deed and proceeds to discuss trivial topics such as Lenny's love life. It is difficult to determine whether Babe is truly unaware of the severity of her behavior or simply avoiding the issue, and several references ate made to her psychological stability. She is visibly upset when the young lawyer Barnette Lloyd, played by Nate Sinnott, arrives at the Magrath home to consider the case and escapes upstairs in u childish refusal to talkfo him. Meg, although rebellious, appears to be the more intelligent of the Magrath sisters and inquires as to Barnette's experience as a lawyer. With a manor resembling the stuttering ramblings of Barney Fife from "The Andy Griffith Show," Barnette explains his personal vendetta with Babe's husband and cites his fond- live for proving Babe's innocence. Barnette also reveals his suspicions that Babe has been brutalized by her husband justifying her actions. Babe later admits to Meg her story of loneliness and exposes her affair with a 15-year-old black boy. further complicating the controversy Babe finally begins to demonstrate irritation and concern for her actions. However, she fails to exhibit any remorse in shooting her husband and confesses a humorous account of thc incident to Barnette. in which she recalls offering the wounded Mr. Botrelle a fresh glass of lemonade before calling for medical treatment.

And much of days 25 of fireworks the money comes Delaney also called for an in- from the afore- crease in the number of scholarships from 13 to 15, but his most daring proposal has to do with summer basketball — he wants it to end. Thanks to a 19X2 ruling that created an early signing period in November — in hopes of letting high school seniors who have made a decision end the process — and a sixweek "dead" period in January and February when coaches are denied contact, summers became the prime time for college recruiting. For 25 days each July, coaches are permitted to congregate at the top spots and scout players, but not talk to them. Star-stocked teams in the Amateur Athletic Union recruit at will and play in grandiose tournaments in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York. Many summer league teams, AAU and independent, are owned and coached by people who use it as a primary source of income. The NCAA has no jurisdiction over these people. Critics say they arc motivated by more than a love for basketball. "Thc guys involved are what we call the summer slca/ebags," said former MSU Head Coach Jud Hcathcote. who saw the recruiting sons, student- lete welfare integration on several issues that influence the sport. landscape change dramatically in the 1980s.'•The The which panel, was campus, pul relations for t ketball, and, course, sumi recruiting. "That is a contentious issue be cause you have concern all over thc board about the influence of nonacademic people in thc summer,' said Steve Malloncc, the NCAA di- rector of membership services. "Tc what degree it will be reformed will be interesting to sec." Some coaches, like Purdue's Gene Keady. would like to see a return to the old rules, when all recruiting was done in person during the school year. Others, like Izzo, support summer recruiting because it lessens the in-season pressure. "If you didn't let us out in the summer and just in the winter, we wouldn't be able to spend as much time with our own players," Izzo said. "I think thc month of July could be cut down some, though. I think 15 days would be fine." The issue is irrelevant to Taylor. He'll pla> at the camp in Indianapolis, but not Las Vegas or any of the other elite gatherings. Unlike many of the guys there, he doesn't need the exposure. "I was in ninth grade when national newspapers and stuff started interview ing me." Taylor said. "I just really have no interest in AAU basketball. It won't really help me any." The NCAA is tr\ ing to find out if summer recruiting truly benefits anyone, and if not. how they should approach it. prompted in part "Wo can't do anything to the by Delaney's u ism in', fs brosummer'4amps, we have no jurisdicil&en into seven tion." Malloncc said. "We have to subsets. The" deal with the behavior of our coach- — LHU and practice mentioned companies. Along with a growing number of corporate partners, they sponsor the tournaments and employ representatives to shower young players with free footwear, meals and travel. It is now the unchecked summer league coach who often holds the key to a recruit's decision. Since college coaches can't talk to players in the summer, they have to talk to — and in many cases negotiate with — such a middleman. "(Summer basketball) has developed into a chaotic series of camps, regional, national and international competitions, and tournaments funded and fueled by corporate entities and non-school based agencies and individuals," Delaney said. "I'm not naive. I think we need to be honest about what we have here." The NCAA is apparently trying. Bring in the lawmakers A 29-member panel of basketball power brokers is on the job.

I / / April 23, 1999 The Eagle Page 11 Eye Sports Ruggers cop Cockfight Tournament title; down fourth ranked IUP Jay T. Reeder The Eagle Eye California University hosted their Fourth Annual Cockfight Tournament Saturday amidst an array of rain, slcct, wind and brief sunshine. It was here that thc Lock Haven rugby team faced their most anticipated and challenging games of the season. Of thc nine teams scheduled to compete. Slippery Rock, Indiana, Grove City, California, and LHU were the only collegiate teams present. The remaining four teams were comprised of older mens clubs: Westmoreland, Valley. South Pittsburgh, and California Old Boys (alumni team). Anxiousness, adrenaline and all out fury filled the air as the first round teams were set to kick off. Receiving a bye in the first round. Haven players were witness to different styles of play on both fields. The older, morc experienced teams were not as quick as the collegiate participants but made up for it with punishing hits and severe aggressiveness. As they observed, there was no room for error. There would be no second chances. Heavily favored, Indiana University, who finished fourth in thc nation in Division II last season quickly went two and out in thc double elimination tournament. LHU v. California Old Boys Thc Haven's first game pitted them against Cal's alumni team, the Cal Old Boys. A disappointingly slow start for the Bald Eagles proved costly as thc Old Boys scored the first try of the game midway through the first half taking a 7-0 lead with their collegiate counterparts cheering them on. As the noise of the crowd increased, so did the intensity level of thc Haven's players. As the first half ended, the momentum had begun to shift in favor of LHU. Solid tackles by Aaron Lankford, Ryan Flanagan and Jeremy Meek provided thc team with several turnovers. Hard fought rucks by Kevin Sanders, Sean Nugent and Mike McCorristin allowed the team to gain valuable field position. Behind the powerful kicks of senior Lonnie record Lock Haven came even closer to scoring as his deadly accurate kicks sent the Old Boys' fullback scrambling for support with LHU's smothering defense charging downficld. As the second frame began, thc rugby team continued to dominate, keeping the ball on the opponent's side of the field for thc rest of the game. One of Record's kicks went deep into the opponent's try zone. When their fullback attempted to bring the ball out, Chris Celia stripped him of the ball and Todd Newcomer, who recently returned from a knee injury, jumped on it to tie the game at seven all. The ball came out of the scrum close to midfield into the Lock Haven backline and ended up in the hands of fullback Mike Kaufhold. Turning up field. Kaufhold used his speed to take the ball 40 meters downficld before being tackled two meters shy of the try zone. Having been touched by a Cal player before going out of bounds, possession of the ball was given to LHU for the throw in the line out. Bouncing offthe back of a player thc ball was quickly picked up by Newcomer who dove head first for the the try and the 14-7 win. LHUv. California Advancing on to the next round, Lock Haven faced a California Team that is currently ranked as one of the top five Division II teams in the nation. What started out as just another game turned into one of the fiercest battles in Lock Haven rugby history. It wasn't about scoring points. It wasn't about showing anyone up. This game was about playing as intensely as humanly possible. Dignity ranked higher than just winning and the Bald Eagles played like a well-oiled ma- chine. "As a team, we stepped it up another level." said McCorristin, "and if we continue to play fiftcen-as-one, we'll be recognized as a dominant force in our league." Try-line barricades and bone crunching hits were the theme of the game, with tackles by Chuck Herling and Culum Canally that both denied California points. Californiareturned the favor by showing their ability to hit hard as well. Todd Watkins had great open-field tackles before he suffered a dislocation and a spiral fracture of a finger in his right hand but finished the game despite the injury. It was anyone's game that could be won or lost with each tackle. Kaufhold had an exceptional day at fullback catching and returning California kicks. His dependability in the back!ield allowed the rest of hte team to focus on offensive goals. A pair of failed penalty kicks by California bolstered LHU's determination to win. A scoreless first half was followed by another in thc second. The entire crowd was focused solely on thc game entranced by thc unbelievable match they were witnessing. Even though this was only a semi-final game, it was without a doubt the best match of thc tournament. With the 0-0 tic, both teams went into a five minute sudden-death overtime period. Neither team would make a mistake, whenever one a player missed w r 3 tackle. was player —- he and the California player walked down to the goal posts, both teams lined midfield to watch. The California kicker went first and a huge sigh could be heard from the Haven as his kick went wide left. Record set the ball on the tec and backed away, lin ing up what was for him a fairly routine kick. Sounds of celebration could be heard as the ball sph the uprights. The ruggers raced downficld celebrating a 3-0 victory over one of the nation's top schools. "As a graduating senior. I'm proud and happy tha my career could end like this." said Newcomer.

Every year, teams have different needs and a different approach to the process. The new Cleveland Browns opted to take, who many figured was the best quarterback in the draft. Kentucky's Tim Couch. By doing this, they chose a player that they can now build an offense * sit behind veteran Darrell Green and learn defense untilTjrecn is ready to retire. The biggest winner in the draft was probably the Arizona Cardinals, already a playoff team. After taking Boston with their first pick, they took one of the best offensive linemen in the draft in LJ Shelton of Eastern Michigan who will provide protection for second year quarterback Jake Plummer while he is looking for Boston down field. Who was the biggest loser in the draft? Beside the Saints, who mortgaged their future to select one player (ala the infamous Herschel Walker trade) it would have to be the San Diego Chargers. After trading away this year's first round pick in last draft to select an immature Ryan Leaf, thc Chargyear's around for the future. ers first pick this year was running back Jermaine By contrast, the two-time defending Super Bowl Fazande of Oklahoma with the next to last pick of the Champion Denver Broncos had no glaring need only to round.

Despite the criticism that he was too small for what they needed, the Steelers opted to pick Louisiana Tech's Troy Edwards. There is no doubt that he is a big play man, just ask the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Edwards said before the game that he was going to pick apart the Nebraska secondary and responded with a phenomenal 21 receptions for 405 yards. Pittsburgh hopes that Edwards turns out as well as the last player they selected from Louisiana Tech, a guy by the name of Terry Bradshaw. Bradshaw only led the Steelers to four Super Bowl wins and was elected to the NFL Hall of Fame (by the way, that was the answer to last week's trivia question). The Eagles, with the second overall pick, opted to take Syracuse quarterback Donovan McNabb despite the fact that they needed a running back just as bad and Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams was available. McNabb strongly resembles former Philly signal caller, Randall Cunningham and we all know that he didn't fair very well until this past year when he was teamed with rookie sensation Randy Moss in Minnesota. Williams suprisingly lasted until the fifth pick where the New Orleans Saints seriously rolled the dice by trading every one of their draft picks this year as well as their first and third round picks for next year to the Redskins just to move up seven places in the first round to select Williams. Indianapolis, who traded away Marshall Faulk to the Rams before the draft, were believed to be in a position to take Williams out from un. _. • _ 27, tied for the lead in doubles with Brent Trowbridge Eagle Eye Sports Editor Justin Winters with nine each.

With a chant of "woo hoo" the Lock Haven University Lady Ruggers charged the field, and so began their first ever excursion to the annual University of Stony Brook Spring Classic. Although it was the fifth such event, it was the first time the Haven had been invited to participate in one of the largest female rugby tournaments on the Eastern Seaboard, attracting Division I teams such as defending National Champions Radcliffe, Vassar and Southern Connecticut Universities. Nerves were tense the week before the tourney as the Lady Ruggers primed themselves to go head-to-head against Divison I teams for a weekend of fun and learning. Their first game was scheduled for 8:45 a.m. and upon arrival the women were informed that their first opponent would be D-I Cornell. They took the field in nervous apprehension, but it didn't take long for the Lady Ruggers to realize that the game was well within their reach. At half-time thc score was only 5-0 in Cornell's favor but Lock Haven was pumped and ready to go. Chris DiGuilio tried in the second half but Cornell came right back with a pair of their own, icing the Haven 15-5.

Miya Bazely had a strong run down the field, capped off by Bivona's try. Bivona also added two conversions. Lock Haven's last game was against Ithaca. A win would send LHU into the finals on Sunday as the tournaments dark horse. A loss would put them into the consolation game. The game was tough the whole way through and the score was knotted up at 0 midway through the match. Lock Haven was threatening the entire second half, keeping the ball near Ithaca's try-zone but having a hard time pushing across the line. With only four minutes left in regulation rookie Steph Blair found a hole in Ithaca's "D" and broke through for the game's only try. Bivona made the conversion to make the fianl score 7-0 LHU. The team that had planned to use the tourney as a learning experience was now vying for first place. Sore and stiff from the day before the lady ruggers stretched and psyched themselves up for a tough matchup against Oswego in the championship game. The two teams were very evenly matched and Lock Haven soon proved that they were not going to be easy to beat. Diguilio tried in the first half withBivona once again adding the 2-point conversion. The Haven never looked back as their defense put Oswego on lockdown, shutting out their opponent to take the victory (7-0) and the title.
