Bald Eagles l o s e to California, 28-29 Lock Haven University EAGLE EYE Parsons Union Building Lock Haven University Volume 35 No. 5 4 Pages Tuesday. September 27,1988 Soccer team splits weekend tournament Winn advocates government overthrow By Edward Klopfenstein StaffReporter "Workers of the world, unite!" was the sign strung-up behind Ed Winn, the Workers League party candidate for U.S. President, while he spoke last Sunday at the Lock Haven YMCA. "This is the only campaign which confronts the capitalists and its imperialist wars." The politics of socialism came to LHU when representatives of the Workers League distributed literature in front of Stevenson Library last Friday. According to Martin McGlaughlin, the editor of the Workers League newspaper, the League is mainly here to support the Intemational Paper strikers. The League members say they also have a message for students. "Students must play a leading Results available role in the leadership of the working class," said Winn. "It is necessary to get the highest level of education..., (but) it must be used in the interests of the working class. No individualism or that 'be on your own' thing." Winn's platform offers students a free college education, raising the minimum wage to $6, and offering full union rights to all student employees. Ed Winn also stated that the soon... University tests buildings for radon gas Workers League "advocates the overthrow of the U.S. Government," and wishes to replace that government with, "a worker's government that would control a worker's militia." IDuring the question and answer session, Winn was asked, "Do you honestly believe you will win with so many people against you?" McGlaughlin interrupted, saying, "If there were a chance that University C o u n c i l of Trustees approves $22.9 million budget By Edward Klopfenstein Stc^Reporter By Emilee Groce StaffReporter Lurking in 15% or more of American homes is a gas that is tasteless, colorless, and unnoticeable by the human senses; ^ gas that in high concentrations poses a major health risk. It can enter a buiding any number of ways. It can leak through pores or cracks in the foundation, basement leaks, or sump pump pits. The building materials themselves may contain this substance. This gas is radon. Radon, a radioactive gas, naturally occurs in low concentrations around the earth. When these concentrations exceed the Environmental Protection Agency's recommended levels, the gas can cause high risk of lung cancer in humans. The gas itself is not the problem. When the radon decays, however, it produces certain highly radioactive substances called progeny. These progeny can attach themselves to dust particles and be inhaled into the lungs. There they can remain and cause grave damage to the delicate lung tissues as they decay further and emit harmful radiation. To detect this harmful gas, alpha track devices are used. These are small cylinders about the size of a can of chewing tobacco. They have no moving parts and are non-toxic. These devices are placed in the home on the basement and first floor levels. They are placed away from any kind of disturbances, drafts or heating vents. Closets are considered ideal locations. After ninety days, the devices are sent back to a special radon lab for tesing. Results are then sent to the occupants and recorded in data banks. All results are strictly confidential. Recently, this testing went on at Lock Haven University and is slated to be available in Lock Haven. The company doing the testing for a minimal fee per device is Terradex. This laboratory has had thirty years of experience in this field. Ed would be elected, the government would call off the election." He then added, "Ed is not going to be president. The point is...to build a movement." When asked if this overthrow being planned would be a bloodless one, Winn replied, "Is there any possibility that the present ruling class would give up their power without a fight?" At present, the exact support of the Worker's League is not known. The Board of Trustees unanimously approved a $22.7 million dollar opoating budget for the 1988-89 school year last Friday. The dining contract received the largest portion of the budget at more than $1,333,000. This had shown over a 3% increase from the previous year. According to Vice President for Administration and Development Dr. Dean Phelps, the increase is due to inflation. Tuition fees rose 17.7% which was primarily due to this years $300 tuition increase. Phelps said that there is a possibility of receiving an increase in the current budget, which would lower tuition, but that "(this increase) must be passed by the state legislature before it can be realized." A 23% increase in the university's contracted services is expected due to the maintanence and monitoring contract for the new energy system and the upcoming Stevenson automation project, says Phelps. Phelps also discussed the current ciq)ital budget being ccmsidered in Harrisburg, which has allocated $190,000 for Price Auditcnrium's building equipment and $447,000 for Akeley Building. Pennsylvania has not passed a current capital budget in two years, says Phelps, and if this current budget is not passed, Akeley and Price will be two "renovated buildings without equipment." Bruce Walker, treasurer of the SCC. told the Council that the three architectural firms bidding for the PUB expansion project will be returning their proposals October 19. at that time the SCC will select a firm for the feasability study. Walker said that the SCC's ideas for expansion would include to either create a second floor to the existing building and add a third floor above that, which would be accessible to the road behind Smith Hall, or create an additional two stories above Bentley Hall. "For the first time, the University has gone over 3.OCX) (students)," said President Craig Dean Willis. He also commented, "that figure could have been elavated by two or three hundred." According to Willis, 934 new students entered the University this year, of which 765 were freshman. The council later showed some concern for this growth when Ronald Woodbury, vice-president for academic and student afEeurs. said that, "^e are reaching...absolute capacity of our donnitcries." Accwding to Woodbury, there are presently under consideration some options to relieve the pressure on the dormitories. Some of the options include providing housing for only freshman and sophomores, and providing the current housing conditions with continued emphasis on Triples and 6-Person Lounges. The council authorized the University administration to negotiate for the purchase of the Angus Farm property, located over a mile from campus. This could be used to "possibly reduce the parking congestion or resolve the problem in the lack of athletic field space," said Phelps. 2 Eagle Eye Lock Haven University, Tuesday, September 27,1988 Announcements student Insurance Policy Any student desiring to obtain the University's Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Policy must do so by Oct. 1. 1988.

SPORTS SPORT.^ !PORT.^ SPORTS Gridders give up lead in fourth quarter By Herb Samuels Sports Reporter The Lock Haven football team lost a heartbreaker to Califomia (Pa.), 29-28 SatiMay aftonoon. The offense had their best effort by far this season. They ran for 158 yards on the ground (they averaged 32 yards before the game) and threw for 265 yiuds. LHU wide receiver Richard Nurse caught seven passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns. The first coming on the Bald Eagles first possesion of the game. "We ran a quick pass to him, he put a little move on (the defender) and he was gone," said Head Coach Tom Jones. Nurse's second touchdown came on a 20 yard pass play irom sophomore quarterback Radford Mason. Mason bounced back from last week's poor performance to complete 13 out of 24 passes for 265 yards. "He opened a lot of eyes," Jones said of Mason. The other two scores came from senior tailback Les Smeal (from 2 and 3 yards resectivly) who ran for 148 yards on 29 carries. "He ran hard all day," said Jones. "He kept his head up and found the holes." Jones complimented the Eaglesfixxitline for the offense explosion. "They have been playing well all year," he said. "They don't get a lot said about them except if something goes wrong." After the Bald Eagles finished scoring, they sat back on a 28-10 lead which proved to be costly. In the fourth quarter, Califomia quarterback Sam Mannery threw three touchdown passes for 19 points and gave Califomia the win. "We knew we were going up against one of the best quarterbacks in tlve conference this year," said Jones. Mannery wound up with 4 touchdown passes. Two went to Terry O'Shea and two hit Bryan GreCT. Coach Jones didn't complain about the loss. "We played the most complete game of the year," he said. "They made some big plays and beat us. You can't take that away from them." This Saturday marks the first home game for the Bald Eagles since September 3. They face Slippery Rock University in a division matchup slated to begin at 2 p.m. With the Bald Eagles steadily improving, a win is almost assured in the future and a big crowd could be (he difference. Lady harriers split at Bloom; men lose twice By Terry Day Co-Sports Editor The Lady Eagles (2-0-1) cross country team defeated East Suoudsburg, 25-31, and tied Bloomsburg, 28-28, Saturday. Bloomsburg's Brenda Bisset finished first in the tri-meet at Bloomsburg. Lori Lingenfelter led the Lady Eagles to victory with a time of 19:30. Two seconds later, her teammate Debbie Valansky crossed the line. According to Head Coach Leroy Straley, Lingenfelter and Valansky ran an excellent race. Stacie Hebert, 20:03, Jill Baumgartner, 20:46, and Julie Grasser, 21:00 finished the top'fiveforLHU. Other LHU mnners who competed were Joanne Paultz, 21:01, Pam Sheppard, 22:08 and Karen Cole. 24:16 "This was definitely the best effort of the team this year," Coach Straley said.

Booters split weekend tournament By Kevin Dickie Sports Reporter The Bald Eagle booters can be happy with their performance at the National Invitational Tournament at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich, this weekend. Although finishing the toumament 1-1 after having played CW Post and Metro State, LHU played good soccer on both Saturday and Sunday. It was a lack of sharpness in front of the goal which led to their one defeat. The opening game on Saturday against CW Post (the eventual tournament winners) was a fmstrating one for LHU. They created chance after chance, but couldn't put the ball in the net. The way CW Post scored summed up the pattern of the game. Freshman Shawn Hawkey led an attack on the Post goal with twelve minutes left in the first half. His pass to Andrew Monteith deflected off Tibby Koboblak and then rebounded off the upright. Post picked up the ball and ran up the field to score the only goal of the game. The Bald Eagles outshot Post 10-7 and led in comer kicks 6-1 but still felt short of the win. With thoughts of the defeat at the hands of Post. LHU began Sunday with a game against Metro State. The combination of retuming starters Tibi Kobolak and Mark Colangelo proved to be the diffwence in the game as Kobolak scored only eight minutes into the game. It was all the Eagles needed. The Eagles are now 3-3-1 and not doing as well as many people had predicted during the pre-season. Coach Long predicts that this record is going to deceive teams, and anyone who takes the Eagles lighdy may be shocked.

As one of the guinea pigs, I'd like to express my views on its success and the obstacles that still must be overcome. In many ways, the program is beneficial to its participants. The program is open to all majors, because the two Honors courses at least satisfy the general education requirements of Lock Haven University. Our classes are kept small with only twenty incoming Freshmen being selected for the program. Having a small teacher-student ratio enables us to have more in depth discussions and receive more personal attention. One of the most appealing things to me was how good it would look on a resume to have completed a program of this prestige. At this stage of the game everything is brand new, which has brought about a few problems. We must put in five hours a week doing work within the program. The first two hours are simply staffing the Honors Center, answering the phone, and mnning errands. Another hour is spent in a weekly general group meeting discussing the pitfalls and successes experiences during the past week. We have been broken into small committees which try to meet weekly, for yet another of our mandatory hours. describes The Intemational Interests Committee is currently putting together a schedule for six separate discussion groups to meet starting the week Oct. 3. As a member of this committee, I found tracking down the foreign students to be very frustrating. If this can get off the ground, it should be very rewarding to all the participants. The Decorating Committee is going to try to give the center an at-home atmosphere. Hopefully, a little paint and some posters will transform the blank walls of our room, in Stevenson Library's basement, into a productive area. Mr. Susick, associate dean of students, has already dropped in for one of our "Lunch Discussions". It was informative and enjoyed by most; he told of the difficulties in housing so many students. This group is hard at work setting up appoinunents for guest lecturers. Other smaller committees are the Publicity Coordinators, Newsletter Writters, and several students working on the computer to fill up their hour. Although we're all involved in our own committees, everyone must attend one of the six Intemational Interest Meetings. Complaints have arisen, but it serves as the fourth hour. Those of us who aren't Presidental Scholarship Winners receive campus employment for our five hours. Sounds good, right? Except if you were awarded work study, which you lose due to the Honors Program. You can not be on two payrolls! So now you must take out a new EAGLE EYE Staff Meetings Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 p.m. Lower level of the PUB. Everyone Welcome! Honors loan or add the money you lost onto your next bill. Most of the Honors students have been paired up as roomates. Another controversy! For some it's been a good experience to live with someone who shares at least two of their classes. At night, there's someone to sympathize with your complaints and a study parmer too. For others it has been more of a nightmare with the same face haunting you constantly! Program Course work is much more demanding than the average load for students taking History or Composition. It is unfair to students who have passed the A.P. exams because in order to be a part of the Honors g Program, you must take these coiu-ses. As in everything in life, you will eventually encounter some degree of fault. * Hopefully not all at once! Overall, the Honors Program needs more time to sort out all the kinks in a generally good {vogram. Dr. James Knauer works with students in the Honors Center. The Center is located in the basement of Stevenson Library. • P T H E ^y A/ / V E R s ^ Thursday, Sept. 29 Movies will be shown at 8 p.m. in the lower level PUB. ID Required!
