SCC ends school year with inaguration of new officers
by Cynthia Graham
Eagle Eye News Editor_
The Student Cooperative Council
(SCC) ended its 1996-97 school term with
the inauguration of recently elected executive officers and passed the 1997-98 SCC
budget of $501,177.11, at Wednesday
night's SCC meeting.
Returning SCC president, Larry Flint
was sworn into office along with Jamie
Patton, vice president and Tammy Brown,
treasurer.
According to Flint, the newly approved
budget is a 7 percent increase from last
year's $465,455.50 budget, and will Fund
all student clubs and organizations and the
athletic department.
In addition, Flint said the University's
administration is looking into purchasing
refrigerators for each dormitory room
beginning in the fall 1997 semester and will
pose no extra cost to students.
He said the refrigerators will be
financed as part of students' room and

board fees, which increases each year
because of inflation and will be supplied in
the rooms as standard equipment such as
beds, desks and closets.
Dr. Linda Koch, vice president of student affairs, said the administration is currently taking bids to see whether purchasing the refrigerators will cause student
room and board fees to increase substantially. She said the University believes
purchasing the refrigerators are the best
choice, as opposed to having students rent
the equipment each year.
"We are exploring this because we felt
the rental option was not a good one. This
is a better option because every student
who lives on campus will have a refrigerator," Koch said.
She added that the University will purchase the refrigerators independent of the
Polar Wave company that currently serves
the University with the joint microwave
and fridge appliance. She said if the option
is passed, students will be allowed to bring
their own microwaves, but will no longer

be allowed to bring refrigerators on campus.
Toward the end of the meeting, Flint
gave a tearful farewell address to graduat-

ing SCC officers and returning senators.
Many awards and plaques were presented
to SCC advisors and deserving senators and
staff members.

can bring about unity among themselves on campus.

National speaker and author of African
American books. Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu,
Ph.D., addressed the Meeting of the Minds
audience on ways in which African
American students can generate unity
among themselves and made suggestions
on ways to improve minority retention at
the University, at Saturday's conference
sponsored by the Black Student Union
(BSU).
Kunjufu, whose first name is the
African term for cheerful and happy, said
African American students can promote
unity among themselves by speaking to
each other, being respectful to each other
and avoiding gossiping about each other.
He told audience members that 42 percent of African Americans are graduating
from colleges nationwide and suggested
that students go to class, participate in study
groups, complete homework and take coN

lege life seriously, in order to mainatin a
favorable minority retention rate on campus.
Kunjufu's books deal with such issues
as black economics, the plight of African
American males, the miseducation of
African Americans and African American
relationships and family values. He refuted
the claim made in the book The Bell Curve,
written by Richard Herrnstein and Charles
Murray, that minorities have lower IQ levels than whites. He said it is important for
minority students to prepare themselves for
tests and not to use the claim of "culturally
biased tests" as an excuse for not performing well on SAT and graduate school examinations.
Another event held during the day was a
workshop headed by Darnell Montgomery
and Maria James of Shippensburg
University. The workshop was entitled
"Barriers to Unity" which discussed problems that cause barriers between minority
students and provided solutions to those

problems. Students agreed that communication and respect are two main ways to
dispell barriers among themselves.
The actual Meeting of the Minds workshop comprised of all representatives from
Millersville, Shippensburg and Clarion universities along with the University's BSU
representatives, who collaborated to find
new ideas that will enhance the minority
voice on each campus. Chris Franklin, the
University's BSU president, said the organization is currently in the process of mak-

Lock Haven's best and worst landlords
by Rob Moyer and Jeanette Jelfo
Part 4 of the four part investigative
report
What do you look for when you are
renting a house or apartment? Your first
priorities might be to look for your own
bedroom, a big living room, a nice kitchen,
off-street parking, etc.
While all of these things.are important,
perhaps the most important choice you are
able to make is the landlord you choose.
After all, your landlord is the one person
who you call on when you need help with
your house or apartment. In short, the landlord just about dictates whether you will
have an enjoyable time living off-campus,
or a nightmare.
According to a survey of approximately
200 off-campus students conducted by Dr.
Saundra Hybels' News Reporting class,
there are two types of landlords: good and
bad. Bill and Judy Robb take first place as
the best landlords, while Jim and Barbara
Rogers lag far behind as the worst.
What criteria was used in picking the
best and worst? Interviews with the tenants
and the landlords themselves, along with
the survey information.
Starting off with the top, the Robbs
exemplify everything a tenant could ever
hope for. Owning ten separate housing
units in Lock Haven, they also acknowledge the importance of being good landlords
The Robbs have been in the landlord
business for seven years. More interestingly, they only rent to students. According to
them, "Students are far more responsible
than adults give them credit for."
"The Robbs are great landlords simply
because they realize that students are not
rich, and they're willing to work with us,"
said Kim Urban, current tenant of the
Robbs. "I think they are good landlords
because they always look out for us and try
to do as much as possible for us. As soon
as anything goes wrong they are there to fix
it at the drop of a hat."
Urban, who lives at the Robb's 139A N.
Fairview Street house, cited several examples of her landlords quick responses. "One
time I was cooking dinner and a fuse blew.
I immediately called the Robbs, and Mr.
Robb was there in 10 minutes with a new
fuse." Urban also told about one night
when she returned home at 11 p.m. during a
snow storm. She said that the Robbs had
just been there to shovel and salt her sidewalk.
When asked about her relationship with
her tenants, Judy Robb simply says, "I really like people; if you are fair to people and
treat them with resp)ect, they will in turn
respect you. -We have a nice bunch of kids

that rent from us."
For every positive, there must be a negative. For every good, there must be a bad.
According to the survey, the Rogers take the
low end of the stick. Not one good word for
them, not one good review from any of their
tenants.
To begin with, Rogers claimed in a faceto-face interview, with journalism student
Stacy Puhl, that students are "not mentally
mature," and are just "not prepared for
responsibility." However, he continues to
rent many of his properties to students.
According to the surveys, Rogers has
left several of his tenants without heat and
hot water. In a 1992 court case, Rogers was
sued by three of his 414 W. Church Street
tenants for what the citation read as a
"house that was unsanitary, unsafe, and
unfit for habitation." The citation also said
that the occupants of the house went without
heat and hot water from April 19-24.
Rogers lost the case.
Just this year, Dave Romig, Code
Enforcement officer, gave Rogers a notice
of violation for a broken heating system at
his 414 W. Church Street house. Rogers
responded by having it fixed in two days.
According to Romig, after a notice of
violation is given, the landlord is given a
fair amount of time to fix the problem. If
the landlord fails to fix the problem within
the time allotted, they are then issued a citation. Although he has received many
notices of violation, Rogers has never
received a citation.
In a civil complaint filed earlier this
week, Katherine Ottomanelli is suing the
Rogers for "failure to provide heat, electric,
water, along with habitual failure to make
repairs and personal injury caused by defective and dangerous conditions maintained
by the landlord." Ottomanelli, a former tenant at 414 W. Church Street, filed a countersuit after Rogers sued her for failing to pay
her rent.
Students responding to the survey also
stated that Rogers failed to return their
security deptosits of give them a list of damages that the money was used for.
According to Pennsylvania State law, security deposits must be returned within 30
days, along with a list of paid for damages if
any money was withheld.
Renee Markette, a former occupant of
Rogers' rear 38 N. Fairview Street house,
filed a formal complaint against the Rogers
at the Magistrate's office. According to the
complaint, the Rogers never paid back her
security deposit and did not give her a list of
damages. The case was taken in front of the
Magistrate, where Markette won and the
Rogers were ordered to pay double the security deposit within 30 days. On the 29th day
however, they filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

In the same interview with Puhl, Rogers
said that it is important for pteople to keep
their word or, "they should not give it."
Interestingly, several of the survey resfxjndents said that he does not keep his word.
One of Rogers' tenants said that she has
received notices in the mail for unpaid
taxes. In an August edition of the Lock
Haven Express, it listed the Clinton County
Tax Claim Bureau Sale of Land. This public notice informed property owners who
have not paid their taxes, that their property
would be put up for a public sale if they did
not pay their taxes by the September deadline. The Rogers had 11 properties with
delinquent taxes. However, the Rogers did
pay their taxes by the deadline.
Rogers has had five civil cases brought
against him in the past three years for not
paying taxes, along with other cases for not
paying the electric and not paying workers
for services rendered.
To this, Rogers says that he pays the
bills with the highest interest first and the
lowest interest later. And when remarking
on the students over unpaid bills, "It doesn't
make a difference to them; they still have a
roof over their head."
Cases against the Rogers include: 1992,
sued by three tenants for an unfit house and
for retrieval of their security deposits.
(Court Docket: 00248-92); 1994, sued for
not paying Kathleen Kemp after she rendered housekeeping duties. (Court Docket:
00090-94); 1994, sued by People's Bank for
refusing to pay their credit card bill. (Court
Docket; 01002-94); 1994, sued by Tim
Muthler for refusing to pay him for construction services rendered. (Court Docket:
00744-94); 1994, sued for back taxes; 1994,
sued for not paying Montour Oil Service
Company for services rendered; 1995, sued
by PP&Lfor unpaid electric bills;1995,sued

again by PP&L for back bills; 1995 sued
for back taxes; 1995, sued by VV^iL for
electric at 38 (front, rear, and 1/2) N.
Fairview Street Houses; 1996, sued for
security deposit and first month rent by
Susan Toner after he broke a verbal agreement to clean up the house she was to occupy. She never occupied the house because
of an oil spill and subsequent odor. (Court
Docket: 00924-96); 1996, sued by Jersey
Shore Hospital for services rendered.
(Court Docket: 00024-96).

News from arourd the

Education
lUP students protest prejudice through a Day of Silence
INDIANA - "Please understand my reason
for nBt speaking today."
This is a phrase that many students will
see but not hear today while I UP students
participate in the Day of Silence.
lUP is just one of 80 colleges and universities nationwide participating in the
Day of Silence, which was started at the
University of Virginia rn order to draw
attention to those individuals who have
been silenced by hatred, oppression and
prejudice. Although the Day of Silence
originally began as a Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual
issue, the idea grew to encompass all
minorities that have felt similar pressures
related to prejudice.
"Everyday minorities walk through the
world unable to say some of ihe things that
they wish to express," said Karen Widdows,
coordinator of the event. "The reason for
the silence is to show the impact of that
silence on the rest of the community."
Each participant received a pin and a
stack of cards to pass to individuals that
they would normally interact with, to
explain the reason for their silence.
Participants were also asked to dress in
black.
Although the goal of the day is silence,
the silence is not to interfere with school
activities. According to the list of rules and
suggestions given upon sign-up, "You will
sp)eak when necessary. This is not an
excuse to get out of oral presentations and
class work."
"We realize some people can't be
quiet," Widdow said. "If you can't, still
dress in black and wear the pin."
If faced with any type of negative comment, the coordinators of the event ask that
participants refrain from rebutting or arguing with the person.

University students are overwhelmingly
satisfied with their experiences at the
University, according to a recently released
survey
conducted
by
Millersville
University's Center for Opinion Research.
Drawing on the results of surveys
issued to approximately 400 students at
each State System of Higher Education
(SSHE) institution, the report compiles attitude data on a selection of students from
throughout the 14 universities.
Ninety-one percent of students at
the University rate its quality
either good or excellent
Faculty scored high in the
survey with 88 percent of
students indicating that
their faculty advisor is
truly interested in their
progress and 94 percent
indicating that faculty
are available when need
ed.
When examining where
the University stood in stu
dents' choice for college education
respondents indicated that the University
was most-often the only institution to
which they applied, with the second most
frequent response indicating that they
applied to no other university.
Regarding campus life, the majority of
students surveyed indicated that they felt
the residence halls rated excellent or good
and 87 percent stated that their experience

at the University improved their ability to
interact comfortably with people of various
racial, ethnic and cultural groups. When
compared with the other SSHE system
schools who average less than one hour a
week participation in campus activities.
University students proved to be more
active in participating in campus programs,
devoting about five hours a week.
In addition. University students are
employed, on or off campus, an average of
nine hours a week. Students rated the
of the campus very high,
with 93 percent expressing
feeling of safeness at
the University.
Of the SSHE
schools' average of
70 percent, 71 percent of University
students
indicated
that the main reason
they are in college is to
a
good
job.
niversity students chose
this institution for various reasons including academic reasons (32 percent); location (27 percent) and financial
reasons (12 percent).
The University will use the data presented from the survey to continue to build
upon its mission of educating students in a
safe campus environment.

Journalism professor presents paper
by Kristy Freeman
Eagle Eye News Reporter
Karen E. Kline, assistant professor of
journalism and mass communication, pre
sented an essay that analyzed how film
critics base their critiques on paradigms,
at last month's Conference of "opular
Culture Association in San Antonio.
The essay, titled "What Constitutes an
Effective Film Adaptation?" refutes the
idea that film critics are subjective based
on their personal taste.
In the essay, Kline examines public
criticism of movies that are based on nov
els. In her examination she discovers four
paradigms, or models, that critics use as a
lens to evaluate the particular film. The
four models, translation, pluralist, transformation and materialist, are what reflect
the critic's opinion and not his/her own
subjective nature.
Kline states that the particular para
digm the critic adopts is what influences
his/her critique and limits other observa
tions he/she might make.
Kline said she has always been inter
ested in movie criticism, which is what
caused her to write the essay. She has
done additional research on this concept
and has had a larger adaptation of the
essay published in
Literature/Film
Quarterly.

Tracksters are running out of room
Dear Editor:
I am currently a member of the track
team here at the University.
We are told not to complain when we
must rearrange our hectic college lives
around the Lock Haven high school and
junior high school's track and field team.
They tell us nothing can be done about the
situation now.
My question is, why wasn't someone
thinking about the consequences when the
decision was made that the University's
track and field team would share the new
facilities at Jack Stadium with the high
school and junior high school athletes?
It is true the Keystone Central School
District contributed $100,000 to the
$414,386 it cost to build the eight lane rubberized track. That figure does not include
the cost of the turf which was $895,057 and
is not shared with anybody except the
University's athletic teams.
The track athletes do not mind sharing
the facilities with the high school, but what
we do mind is sacrificing our practice time,
and quite often practice on the track in general, because of high school and junior high
practice hours and meets.
Since I can remember, the University's
team has started practice 4:00 p.m., at the
very latest. Now, the high school gets those
prime hours from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.,
and host iip to two home meets a week.
The University team is given what ever
hours are left over.
Contractually, the high school is
allowed 10-12 home meets in a season,
which runs from March to May. The
University has three scheduled home
meets, excluding the PSAC Championships
which will be hosted by LHU the second
weekend in May.
Our practices are constantly being canceled, postponed or re-scheduled because
of conflicts with a high school or junior
high school track meet, or make-up meet.
Every athlete can identify with having
to schedule their classes around their athletic practices, and for the most part it can
be done. When an athlete understands
practice will begin at 4:00 p.m. and will
end around 6:30 p.m. we arrange our lives
and academic schedules accordingly. The
track athletes did not find out until the
spring semester had started and classes and
work schedules had already been set that
practice time was changed.
It has been a few semesters since my
last math course, but I believe the
University's contribution of $314,386 is a
substantially larger sum of money than the
$100,000 contribution of the Keystone
Central School District. With that in mind,
the University should be given scheduling
priority, and sacrifice less based on monetary figures .alone,
, ,

But the monetary issue should not be
the deciding factor. I believe collegiate athletes have more responsibility to perform in
both athletics and academics than high
school athletes. Some members of the track
team are even given scholarships by the
University to do so. Yet we
get whatever is left of the
daylight hours to practice
when the high school is finished practicing.
From the athletes' point
of view, this situation makes
us think the University feels
our sport is not significant
and that we are less important
than the neighboring high school. To be
honest, the situation creates a lot of negativity among the University's track athletes.
The track team is soaked with talent and
we are not getting the chance to exercise
and strengthen those talents to their fullest
potential. The PSAC Championships are

coming on us quickly and we are trying to
find a time to get on our track for a decent
work-out.
The athletes are extremely grateful for
the beautiful, state of the art facility: It is
the best thing that could have happened to
the track program, but sharing it with the high school
under the current conditions
just is not working.
Maybe through aggressive fundraising and' the
help of the University, we
will be able to buy our track
back.
Because this is the last
Eagle Eye of the semester, all res[)onses
can be sent directly to me by e-mail at:
ayarger@falcon
Sincerely,
Amy Yarger

The Office of Admission Staff would like to
send a huge Thank You to our student
staff for the hard work and commitment
you have put forth for our office and your
University this past school year. Your
dedication has shown itself on a regular
daily basis, at Campus Visitation, and
through every task you have been asked to
perform. Your contributions are genuinely
recognized and appreciated! Thank You!

Tales announces Year-End Awards
Move over, Oscars. Take a seat,
Emmys. Get out of my way. Golden
Globes. Get lost, Grammys. Welcome one
and all to Tales From the Hard Side's second annual Year-End Awards. Sure, the
other awards have cute golden statues and
big time presenters. (1 tried to get all that
stuff but 1 only had three bucks left in my
budget after paying all that protection
money.) But 1 say we do not need ail the
glTtz. These awards are special. They are
about categories that you care about and
they are about L^ck Haven University and
no place else. These awards are for you,
my loyal and faithful readers of this column. So without further ado, let's get on
with the show...
SPORTS AWARDS
Male Athlete of the Year
This was a tough one. The comf>etition
was fierce with every sport having at least
two viable candidates. The winner of this
one might be a surprise to a lot of people,
but the winner is Mike Shue. Please before
every single wrestler comes after me
because it was not Cary Kolat, let me
explain a bit. Kolat was expected to win his
second national title, what Mike Shue went
through this season shows what kind of
person he is. Shue became the all-time
leading scorer in Lx)ck Haven University
history and then just a week later, was dismissed from the basketball team. In the
coming weeks Shue showed the maturity of
an athlete, even though what was going on
around him was killing him. All he ever
wanted to do was play basketball and when
that was taken away, he showed the class of
an athlete. Shue deserves this award
because he is the definition of an athlete in
the way he handled this situation. Kolat
comes in a close second, but remember I do
not do co-awards.
Female Athlete of the Year
Racheal Ebling gets this award hands
down. She was named the PSAC-West
Rookie of the Year and led the women's

Ebling stepped in as a freshmen starter at
one of the most pressure postions in basketbalLand f)erformed like a seasoned veteren.
My hat is off to Racheal Ebling.
Coach of the Year
The gods must be mad at me because
this was a tough one. But when your team
finishes the highest ever at the National
Championships you deserve some recognition. So the award goes to Carl Poff, head
wrestling coach. The wrestling team finished fifth at the NCAA Division I

Wrestling Championships, the highest finish ever for a LHU team. They also won
the school's first ever Eastern Wrestling
League Championship and their second
straight PSAC Championship. Poff guided
five wrestlers to Ail-American status and
because of these accomplishments Poff is
the Tales From the Hard Side Coach of the
Year.
Team of the Year
This one is a no-brainer (which some
people would think it
was easy because 1
'
have no brain). This
one goes to the
wrestling team. See
above for all of their
accomplishments plus I
would like to congratulate the five AilAmericans,
Kolat,
Mike Rogers, Mike
Guerin,
Terry
Sholwalter and Brian Leitzel. The
wrestling team had an amazing season and
with the young talent on that team, it looks
like there might be more Ail-Americans
and championships in the near future.

first award and now gets the second one.
She is the athletic department secretary and
a great person. If you are trying to track
down an English speaking soccer coach
who is never in his office when you are
supposed to meet with him or when you
need someone to be a friendly ear, she is
always there. Chambliss can also be seen
at almost every home University sporting
event, trying to teach me the nuances of
field hockey.
Professor of the Year
The winner of
this one was a hard
choice. The professor
of the year has to go
beyond the call of
duty for the students.
They have to make
themselves available
after their office hours
and even in the
evenings to help students with needs. This year's winner is
Carolyn Perry. Perry operates the writing
center and goes above and beyond the call
of duty for the students. She is also a great
person to talk to.
Administrator of the Year

CAMPUS AWARDS
Student of the Year
This one is always a toughie. Me and
my faithful staff, yes 1 have a staff (I just
cannot pay them), after many sleepless
nights and Bentley pizza, decided the winner of this one goes to Kelly Yeagle, SCC
treasurer. Yeagle came into the job and surprised all of her critics, including me. The
budget process went smoothly this year and
was one of the more fair budget processes
in recent memory. It is all a credit to
Yeagle. She has done great in a job that
demands a lot of time and energy. We will
all miss her but what she has done will be
lasting.
Courage Award
This one goes to Mike Grove. He was
placed in a Halo-Brace after an incident
doing what he loved. Grove was injured in
the second game of the football season and
was in that brace for several months. This
accident took away the one thing Mike
loved to do, play football! He was a student
assistant during the spring to the LHU football staff and remains around the game.
Mike deserves this award and after this year
it will be named after him, The Mike Grove
Courage Award. I salute you, Mike.
Secretary of the Year
Marge Chambliss becomes a repeat
winner in this award. Chambliss got the

This one is a no-brainer and a repeat
performance wrapped into one neat little
package. That package is Dr. Linda Koch.
Koch is vice-president of Student Affairs
and a great friend to any student. Koch is
always there to talk to and always asks how
you are doing. She goes beyond the stigma
of vice-president and is a true friend. 1
have spent many hours in her office talking
about serious things to just sitting around
and talking about anything. When 1 graduate from the University in a year, I am taking Koch with me.
Queen of All Media
This one goes to my Editor-in Chief and
chief pain in the rump, Amanda Gutshall ( I
call her Amanda because she hates it. Nah
Nah) Amanda gets it because she has put
up with me and this column on a daily
basis. Amanda deserves this award and the
paper Burger King crown that goes with it.
Club or Organization of the Year
Haven Activities Council. Now I know
I have been a little hard on these guys and
gals but after such a great Spring Week,
they deserve it. Spring Week put the memories of a bad homecoming out of everyone's mind and was a great relief from the
mid-semester crunch. The Coffeehouse
and other performances this semester have
been great and put on without a hitch.

them personally (with an armed bodyguard
of course).
Sorority and Fraternity of the Year
This award goes to the sorority and the
fraternity that have been most visible the
past year with community service and other
projects that have made LHU and the city
of Lock Haven a better place. All of the
fraternities and sororities have done great
work but two stand out among the rest. The
winners are: Sigma Sigma Sigma and
Sigma Pi. I would like to congratulate all
of the fraternities and sororities for their
great week this year. You all deserve a
standing ovation.
SPECIAL AWARDS
Lifetime Achievement Award
This one goes to Lenny Long. Ia)ng,
who retired this year from coaching the
men's soccer team, went out with a bang.
Long guided his team to the PSAC
Championships and even though they were
ripped off by not going to the national tournament, what Long did in his career^h.;re at
LHU was amazing. Long went out a winner and will still be a professor here at the
University. But when the soccer team takes
the field, he will be missed.
Well, that does it for this year's awards
and the last Tales of the semester. I will be
back in the fall so have a great summer
LHU and I will see you in September.
Peace out and stay safe. Congrats to the
seniors who are graduating, LHU is losing
a piece of itself when you leave. Good

Opinion/Editorial

—

Columnist salutes niceness at the University
I have been a student here for a long
time, and it looks like that may be even
longer. Be that as it may, I have had many
"times" here. And all of those times included interacting with other people who are a
part of this school, whether that be colleagues in class, faculty members or any
other type of staff.
Although 1 have been dismayed quite a
few times upon meeting or interacting with
certain individuals who come across as
unwittingly nasty, mean-spirited, ignorant,
petty, childish, rude or full of incredible
amounts of animosity for whatever reason,
my time away from this place (breaks,
weekends, summers) has led me to conclude one thing: having to deal with those
people who are not the nicest is not an LHU
thing, it is a world/life thing. Sad to say,
and as much as we nice people would like
to put an end to it, your basic bigots, lemon
suckers, puppy killers and Hitlers are going
to exist. That is a fact.
Here at LHU however, I am pleased, as
someone who has witnessed quite a bit of
time here, that some of the nicest people
one can ever hope to find anywhere exist as
a part of this school.
Fellow students are one thing. I have
been blessed to find so many acquaintances
with whom, although I can admit keeping
in touch after graduation is unlikely, the day

I go they wish me well, makes getting to

their charm and niceness, but it would
probably take a long time to get to all of
them. So, anyone who is nice to others and
was not mentioned, sorry, and rest knowing
that there are people roaming about this
place who do appreciate your positive attitudes.
None of what I am writing here as my
last column of this semester is going to
change the fact that mean people will still
be born, still be around us, and some of
them may wind up here at LHU. And as the^
bumper stickers so often do remind us;
"Mean people suck." (Certainly not the
most polite diction, but 1 believe it gets the
point across.)
But it should remind all of us that not
everybody has a secret agenda of hate on
this campus, or a vendetta to "get" someone
or some group. Nor is everyone who acts
nice on a daily basis using that as a coverup to some diabolical plan to actually be
mean. Some people are genuine, and as
hectic as life at LHU sometimes is, we just
have to accept that niceness, benefit from it
and try to be more like the folks who are
giving it to us.
Good Luck on finals everyone - especially those like me who will be stu'. k taking some on Saturday!! Have a good summer and oh, yeah, if you can, just try to be
nice, okay? It will not kill you and might
make you feel a lot better in the long run.
(And that is why we all came to LHU right?
To better ourselves, in the long run.)

Student acknowledges the efforts of everyone
With thoughts of graduation encompassing all senior's minds, 1 think it is safe
to say there is a common bond that links us
all together. It is quite scary to think of an
outer world we
have yet to venture into.
Most would
probably agree
that the college
experience is one
that helps a student grow into a
more well-rounded person. Not
only does college
help students to
foster academic growth, but it also offers
the opportunity to learn about other cultures and lifestyles, through living on and
off campus, socializing and simply becoming a part of the college community.
Not all things we learn in college can
be applied to "real life," but the fact that

even the most trivial knowledge has been
attained stands to be beneficial, even if it
simply falls into conversation.
We as students will reap the benefits of
learning to adjust in
an
environment
unfamiliar to us as
we go into the
workforce or anywhere for that matter. The relationships created during
the college experience will al.so help
allow us to have the
socializing skills
necessary
to
become a part of a successful workforce.
We have been given an opportunity to
grow as men and women who want to
make a difference for our generation, as
well as our communities. I take this time
to acknowledge the efforts of each of us,
no matter how different we may be.

Earth
Day
Festivities
prove a success
by Beth Bertram
Eagle Eye Copy Editor
The University's Earth Day celebration
last Saturday, April 26, was a great success. According to Heidi Serbin, Earth
Day committee member, it was "the most
successful Earth Day in years. The nice
weather really helped." The weather was
indeed beautiful as many students wandered through the display area and then sat
and listened to the band.
The
band. Another
Roadside
Attraction, was a rocking five-man show
with a sound rooted in blues, funk, rock
and jazz, or as band members called it,
"blunk and razz." Leading the band on
vocals was Chris Franklin backed up by
versatile Charlie Masters on piano and
organ, talented Matt Radspinner on stand
up bass and bass guitar, Aaron Barner on
percussion and Seth Olinsky on guitar and
banjo.
The band was enthusiastic about being
a part of the celebration and said they were
"lovin' it." Radspinner added, "It's a great
day to celebrate the earth."
Dr. Joseph Calabrese, advisor for the
Biology Club and Fly-Fishing Club, commented, "The band was fantastic."
Organizations or individual interested in
booking the band for a gig should call
(717) 323-9898 and ask for Seth.
Several organizations and clubs participated in the event with displays ranging
from gold fish races to bowls made from
records.
International Paper, Clinton County
Solid Waste and the Department of
Environmental Protection had displays
offering free brochures and helpful information.
The Biology Club sold the 1997 Earth
Day t-shirts, hot dogs and soda, and sponsored the gold fish races; the Geology
Club displayed rocks; the Fly Fishing Club
sold plants and recruited members into
their newly formed club; the Resident Hall
Association sold sno-cones; and Protestant
Campus Ministries held a raffle.
Organizers of the event were pleased
with the turn-out and overall support
showed towards the Earth Day events.
Jamie Sampson, 1997-98 Biology Club
president, commented, "We were very
pleased with the turn-out of people on
Saturday. We feel the entire event was a
success. We couldn't have done it without
everyone's help."

Senior displays student diversity
by Tori Mello
Eagle Eye Features Editor_
According to Alan Singer in his article
entitled "Reflections on Multiculturalism,"
culture involves the shared viewpoint and
the private personal experience of a group,
whether this group bases its identity on gender, race, class, sexual preference, physical
ability or religion. All these factors contribute to the way one sees the world.
According
to
multiculturalists,
American culture is made up of all these
perspectives and more. Multiculturalism is
not only about studying the different viewfwints of these groups which have so long
been omitted from "scholarly discourse,"
but it is also about studying the power structures within our own society that have given
power to only a few.
Furthermore, multiculturalism allows
those of us in the majority to observe the
ways in which minority members of society
have historically been at the bottom of
American society's various hierarchies, as
well as how these minority groups have
fought — and continue to struggle today —
for the equal rights promised in the
Constitution.
Instead of undermining American culture as many opponents have argued, multicultural education enhances American
Culture's founding ideals. Multiculturalism
attempts to redefine American culture by

incorporating the variety of ideals, customs
and traditions found in the United States
into an American culture which understands
and celebrates the fact that we are all, as the
poet Maya Angelou states best, "marvelously different yet wonderfully alike."
Multiculturalism is extremely important
at a university such as this one, where the
majority population is comprised mostly of
able-bodies, white, middle- to workingclass, heterosexual students who were born
and raised in Pennsylvania or the states that
border it.
However, at this University, there are
also students who represent a variety of cultures (by Singer's definition), although their
perspectives and experiences are not often
made known to the University community.
Frustrated by what I saw as a lack of
empathy and understanding for these nonmainstream perspectives, I embarked last
June on my senior honors project dealing
with multicultural education, readings of
memoirs of society's minority leaders, and
the diversity of opinions on this
University's campus.
Last semester, I gave cameras to four
University students who do not necessarily
fit the definition of "mainstream student,":
and asked them to take photos of people,
places, things and events that they feel are
important in their lives as students and as
Americans. I then interviewed each of them
to try to better understand what a day-inthe-life of a non-majority University stu-

dents is like. I have combined their photos
and interviews into individual articles.
The four students who volunteered to let
me into their lives, albeit briefly, are Akena
Better, an African American female; Fred
Kumm, a returning adult student; Nopporn
Thanggpen, an international student from
Thailand; and Ben Wysocki, a homosexual
student and president of the Lesbian, Gay
and Bisexual Student League (LOPS'L).
The insights these students provided me
were phenomenal, and can now be" viewed
in a display of their photographs arife" quotes
located in the Parsons Union Building
(PUB) until the end of the semester.
By completing and displaying this project, I learned a great deal about the student
body at this University. It started out of
frustration at the student body's lack of
diversity and the insensitivity that is often
shown to those that are non-mainstream.
By the end, my opinions had greatly
changed.
1 now realize that there really is diversity among students on this campus,
(although it is not as wide-spread as some
might have you believe). While there are a
number of students here who could care less
about those who are different frorr them,
there are a number who would like to know
more about the, diversity of opinions and
backgrounds around them.
Hopefully, more programs can be instituted in the future to provide greater expiosure to the diversity that really exists here.

10 Eagle Eye Friday, May 2, 1997

Ladies swept despite Drumheller
by Dustin Miller
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Diane Drumheller doubled and tripled
for the Softball team in game two against
East Stroudsburg University on Tuesday, but
it was not enough as the team lost the game
4-7 and were swept in their final home
games of the season.
In game one, the Lady Eagles found
themselves down 1-0 in the first inning, but
a three run homer in the bottom of the third
by Stacy Warner put the team up 3-1 at the
end of the inning.
Two more runs in the fifth and one more
in the sixth and seventh innings by East
Stroudsburg gave them the win over the
Lady Eagles 5-3. Warner had all three of the
teams RBIs on her home run.
Game two saw the team tie East
Stroud.sburg in the bottom of the third when
Melissa Caldwell singled to start off the
inning. Drumheller came to the plate and hit
her sixth triple of the season to break LHU's
single season record for triples and knocked
in Caldwell. A few pitches later, Drumheller
scored on a passed ball to knot the game up
at 2-2.
The Lady Eagles struck again in the bottom of the fifth when Shauna Andrako
reached base on a fielder's choice and then
advanced to second on another fielder's
choice. Drumheller stepped up to the plate
again and doubled to score Andrako. Jen
Estright then blooped a single between the
shortstop, second baseman and center fielder to score Drumheller and allow the team to
take the lead 4-3.

But in the sixth. East Stroudsburg
answered with a double and a walk which
set up a triple and allowed them to go up for
good as they scored one more run in the
game to give them a 7-4 win over the Lady
Eagles. Drumheller had two RBIs and two
of the team's five hits in the loss.
Coach Kim Lindsey said she was a little
disappointed that the team lost both games.
She said, "It's disappointing to come away
with two losses. We played two of our better defensive games of the season, but we
weren't hitting the ball real well."
The team traveled to Slippery Rock on
Saturday and snapped a five-game losing
streak by sweeping Slippery Rock with
scores of 9-1 and 6-1.
In game one pitcher Erin Monger
pitched a fabulous game. She had not given
up any hits in the game until the sixth
inning, when at the top of the inning, she
gave up a single to break up her no-hitter.
But that was the only hit of the game she
allowed as the Lady Eagles won the game 91.
The only run scored came in the first
when a batter reached on an error and
Monger gave up two walks. A passed ball
scored one runner to give Slippery Rock
their lone run of the game.
Brittany Sharp was 2-3 with a home run
and Drumheller added a three-run homer to
seal the victory.
Sharp came up big in game two by going
2-3 and hitting another home run to tie the
single season home run mark for Lock
Haven by hitting her seventh of the season
and help the Lady Eagles win the game 6-1.
Sharp was able to do all of this despite hav-

ing mononucleosis which eventually sidelined her for the final two games of the season and did not give her the opportunity to
break the record.
As for the season, the Lady Eagles finished up with an 18-18 mark overall and a
10-10 record in the conference where they
finished third. Lindsey said the team had a
pretty average season, but felt they could
have done better. She said, "For the talent
we had, the season didn't go as well as it
could have."
Lindsey was happy with the way the
freshman came into the program and produced this year.
Freshman Sharp led the team with seven
homers and tied the single season mark set
by Jen Horner in 1993 and Robin Kumpaitis
in 1994. Sharp also led the team in RBIs
with 26 and a slugging percentage of .660.
She also finished second on the team with a
.351 batting average. Lindsey said, "She
stepped up big a lot of times to get us out of
jams and can hit the ball a ton."
Freshman Stacy Warner led the team in
batting average at .352 and edged out Sharp
for best on the team. Warner also led the
team in doubles with 11. Lindsey said that
Warner is one of the most coachable players
she has ever had. She also said, "Stacy took
a role of coming in and playing first base
with not much experience. She didn't complain and went out there to play and did a
fabulous job with the adjustment."
Drumheller led the team with six triples
and broke the single season mark of five in
a season set by five previous players.
Drumheller finished the season strong, batting .322, and had three homers with a slug-

ging percentage of .559. Drumheller also
made a transition, going from second base
to shortstop, and did a great job adjusting,
according to Lindsey, who said that this was
probably Drumheiler's best year of her
career.
Laura Roller was a defensive whiz in
centerfield this year committing only one
eiTor in the team's 36 games. Roller batted
.300 for most of the season until the end
when she slumped a little and finished with
a .267 mark. But Lindsey said that Rpller
was a huge factor on the team and was srobably the most focused player on the Lady
Eagles.
Pitcher Monger finished the season with
an 8-9 record and a 2.83 ERA, but Lindsey
said she did a good job under her circumstances. "Erin's major may have played a
part in her record. Erin is a Health Science
major and because of this, we didn't have
her until the end of February. She didn't
have the opportunity to see many batters
early in the season, but she came out to give
100% and pitch very well. She's like a
workhorse who lives softball," said Lirdsey.
Pitcher Amy Markle also had a good
season, finishing with a 5-4 record and an
ERA of 2.53. Lindsey said that Markle has
improved every year she has played and has
developed a few more pitches to make her a
dangerous pitcher.
As for next season, the team will only be
losing one player in Roseann Mogan, so the
team will be back almost 100%. Lindsey
said the team must work on some things for
next season and stay focused if they want to
contend for the top spot in the PSAC-West
Conference.

Nagging injuries plague LHU tracksters
by Brenda Bartlett
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The Lock Haven men's and women's
track teams once again spent their Saturday
afternoon battling various competitors at the
Millersville Metrics.
The teams were stricken with minor
injuries last week and as a result many athletes did not compete; hoping to get themselves back together before the PSAC
Championships.
Those who did compete, competed well.
Beginning the scoring for the men was
Jeff Walker who placed third in the 400
meters with a time of 0:50.5.
Aaron Freed finished the 800 meters in
a time of 1:57.56, taking a sixth place finish.
In the 3000 meter steeple chase, Steve
Moyer continues to improve on his pierformance by capturing third place; completing

the event in 9:44.46.
In a time of 0:56.80, Narc Narcisse finished the 400 meter hurdles in eighth place.
The men's 4x400 meter relay team, consisting of Narcisse, Randy Welk, Walker and
Freed took third place with a time of
3:23.52.
In the discus, Mike Bergy finished seventh place with a throw of 144' 2".
The triple jump was a strong event for
the men. LHU captured second and fifth
place.
Chad Warren jumped 44' 1" to gain second place while Steve Rropp jumped 42' 7
1/2" to earn fifth place.
In the pole vault, Andy Smith took fifth
place with a vault of 13' 6".
The women, battling tough competition,
were able to place in a couple of events.
Amy Yarger captured second place in the
800 meters, running the event in 2:16.67.
Betsy Moore jumped 5'3" to take a third

place finish in the high jump.
This weekend LHU will host the LHU
Qualifier. Events start at 11:30 a.m.

LHU will also be hosting, from May 8
through May 10, the PSAC Track and Field
Championships.

Nagy pays tribute to Super Mario
Friday, May 2,1997 Eagle Eye 11

What exactly is a legend? I know I am
a legend (in my own mind that is), but what
exactly is a legend?
The fine people at Wehsters define legend as a noun meaning "a story coming
down from the past." It can also mean "a
person or thing that inspires legend." This
past weekend a legend left the sport of hockey and will be sorely missed.
Niunber 66 of the Pittsburgh Penguins
hung up the skates after a career that was
nothiijg short of amazing. Mario Lemieux
brokfconto the scene and hockey has never
been the same.
Lemieux had the grace of a ballerina and
had the power of a linebacker. He was a
scoring machine. He led the league in scoring six times, won three league and two
playoff MVPs. Mario is a legend.
The Penguins were eliminated last
Saturday by the Philadelphia Flyers and,
even in Philadelphia, he was honored by a
standing ovation. A standing ovation in a
town he had brought heartbreak to many
times.
In the line after the game, where the
players shake each other hands, there was
some surprises like the Lemieux-Eric
Lindros embrace, which some people have

called the legend saying good bye to the new legend into the night.

weekend and a national television audience
watched it. I saw Mario Lemieux skate in
his last game, I saw Mario Lemieux play
hockey.
When I am a grandfather and I have my
grandkids on my knee and we are watching
some sport on television, I can turn to them
and say, "I saw Michael Jordan play basketball, I saw Ren Griffey play baseball, I saw
Brett Farve play football, and I saw Mario
Lemieux play hockey," just like my grandfather said he saw Babe Ruth and Joe
DiMaggio play baseball.
Legends are what sports are all ibout
and Lemieux is a legend in everyone s mind
that has seen him play.
I will miss Mario and I was happy to see
him skate once when I saw my New York
Islanders win game seven of the Patrick
Division finals in 1992 at the Igloo.
He was playing his first game back from
some back trouble that had haunted him
throughout his career.
It was also the same season he took off
three months because he was diagnosed
with Hodgkin's Disease and still led the
league in scoring.

saw a legend at work.

"We certainly have a great tradition and

The women's rugby team just completed their spring season last weekend, undefeated.
Throughout the many weeks spent training, the many miles traveled and the numerous injuries sustained, the Haven women
stayed strong and held wins over Scranton,
Bloomsburg, Susquehanna and Clarion
Universities.
The women's rugby team is without a
coach and veteran team members are called
upon to provide the knowledge, skill and
expertise to teach the new members on the
team.
Not many other sports teams can boast
on an undefeated winning season coachless.
Congratulations Ladies.
The women's rugby team will resume
their practices and competition at the start
of the fall semester.

The head coaching position on the men's
soccer team has changed hands. Rob Eaton,
an alumnus of LHU, has filled the spot after
long time head coach, Lenny Long retired
the position after last season.
"I think some of the main areas I have
tried to hit on in my first eight weeks in
charge have been a (xisitive attitude, building self-esteem, a respect for who we are and
what we are trying to do and most imfjortantly, to set our goals higher than just winning state championships," Eaton said when
asked about his intentions as the new head
coach.
One of the biggest changes Eaton has
incorporated into the program so far was in
the recruiting area.
Heading the freshman line-up of 10
recruits for next year is Jason Luiz
Fernandez, a 22 year-old Brazilian who has
played several times for the National Youth
Team.
"Even with our storied history and long
list of top quality soccer players, Fernandez

With Eaton's new system and lots of
experimentation, the LHU soccer team's
spring season ended with a record of 4-4-1.
Not a bad start for the new head coach.

week.

Eagle Eye Sports Reporter
The Bald Eagles went 3-1 last weekend
(2-0 and 7-1 against Edinboro and 2-3 and
13-5 against West Chester) and are looking
toward what can be called the biggest game

of the season.
The Haven travels to Slippery Rock
University tomorrow in a doubleheader that
controls all of the playoff possibilities in the
PSAC-West.
Some Lock Haven baseball players
received awards over the past week and are
approaching some major milestones.
Curt Chilson and Karl Raffin were
named the PSAC-West Player and Pitcher of
the Week respectively. Chilson hit .421 and
had 10 RBIs in a 5-1 week for the Bald
Eagles, including a perfect 4-0 mark in
PSAC-West games. He also picked up a
pitching victory in LHU's 13-5 win over
West Chester on Sunday. Chilson is hitting
.397 this season, with seven homers, and is
also 3-1 when called upon to pitch for the
Bald Eagles.
Raffin hurled a one-hit shutout gem in
LHU's 2-0 win over Edinboro. Raffin
tossed six no-hit innings, before his bid for
a no-hitter was spoiled by a leadoff bloop
single in the seventh inning. Raffin
rebounded by striking out the side in the
seventh to finish off the shutout. The win
tied Raffin with Bill Wortman (1980-83) for
most pitching wins in a career (20). Raffin
is 4-3 this season and 20-12 in his career at
the Haven.
Marco Randazzo was named the PSACPlayer of the Week just before Chilson. For

the season, Randazzo is hitting .500 (62124) with 42 runs scored and 43 RBIs. He
has 13 doubles, three triples and eight home
runs.
With personal awards out of the way, the
Haven turns their attention to the Rock.
LHU split with SRU earlier this season at
home and controls their own destiny. If they
can sweep the Rock they are in the playoffs
no matter what California does in their game
against Clarion. If the Haven and SRU split
and Cal sweeps Clarion then we have a three
way tie at top of the PSAC-West and a playoff would ensue.

If LHU gets swept by the Rock, then
they have to hope Cal and Clarion split to
force a playoff against Cal. Cal is crrrently
one game behind Slippery Rock and LHU
for the top spot in the PSAC-West.
"It is a big series for us and we know
what is at stake. We are ready for Slippery
Rock," said LHU shortstop Leon Fitch.
The Bald Eagles are 27-13-2, 13-5 in the
PSAC West. They are tied for first place in
the PSAC West with Slippery Rock. The
Bald Eagles and the Rockets face off in the
regular season finale tommorrow at
Slippery Rock starting at 1 p.m.
