Registration and food service dominate Senate discussion
By Kate Kinney
Co-News Editor
The Student Cooperative Council (SCQ
tackled the topics of the newly proposed
registration system and the problems of the
food service in Bentley cafeteria, among
others in its regular meeting Wednesday
night.
Treasurer Matt VanLokeren reported the
standing of the general contingency fund to
be $14,759,83. The small club fund is
currendy $572.
Recording Secretary Machelle Grace
reminded the senate that the student
schedules, under the new registration
system, for next semester must be
completed before November third.
She said the administration expects a
time period of four to five years to pass
before effectively su-aightening out all the
problems with the new system.
Kevin McNamara, SCC president,
opened up an informal discussion on the
new registration system to listen to
reactions senators have heard from students.
Senator Dave Frascr made a motion to
hold a special senate meeting, including the
Student President's Board, to discuss the
system.
He said he felt there was a need to
include the presidents of the small clubs
because the "SCC represents the students.

but the presidents represent the off-campus
students."
Fraser said there is a need to get as much
student input on this issue as possible to
effectively deal with the situation.
Social Chairman Jamie Crankfield said
that overall the Homecoming activities
went well.
His committee has set up two coffee
houses featuring Fred Waller, winner of
last year's talent show (Oct. 20) and Jim
Landry (Oct. 22).
In the conclusion of his report,
Crankfield confirmed that the music groups
Lisa Lisa and Expose will be in concert on
campus Nov. 1. He will advertise
information about ticket sales as soon as it
is available.
Crankfield thinks the concert will be a
great success because it's what the students
wanted and it's what they're getting.
Kurt "Shag" Schwalbe, chairman of the
food service committee, has organized a
group that will look into the service at
Bentley Cafeteria.
He said his committee's objectives
include improving the quality of the food,
installing a complaints box, and making
sure that all rules and regulations are being
followed by Bentley's current food
corporation.
Schwalbe said in reference to the food
system, "What we have is very poor."
He said that the creation of a food service

Possession of milk crates is illegal
By Gina D'Aurio
Ste^Reporter

As of October 7, 1987 possession of
milk crates with a dairy label became a
misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine
ranging from $90 to $300 per crate or
possible imprisonment.
According to Richard Hepner, Director of
Law Enforcement, four individuals have
already been reported for the possession of
approximately ten crates belonging to
Valley Farms, a dairy corporation.
Hepner stated that the case is still under
investigation, but prosecution will either
lake place by Law Enforcement or Valley
Farms.
Law Enforcement officers and Student
Life staff have no intention of going door
to door looking for the crates, said Hepner.
Law Enforcement is offering a thirty day
grace period to any student wishing to
return their milk cases they now have in

their possession to the Law Enforcement
office with no questions asked.
After the grace period, students caught
with milk crates are subject to criminal
prosecution under the new law.

Student achievements recognized
at annual science convocation
By Gary R. Fitzgerald
Stcfireporter
Students who have excelled in science
were honored yesterday at the University's
twenty-seventh
annual
Science
Convocation.
The Convocation, held in Ulmer
Planetarium, included students and faculty
from the Biology and the Chemistry/
Physics /Geosciences Departments.
Robert W. Miller was awarded the David
and Ann Ulmer Planetarium Management
Scholarship Award. This award is given
each year to a student who displays the
most excellence and interest in academics.
Miller also received a certificate and a
plaque for achievements in the earth and
space sciences.
The first Paul F. Klens Biology
Scholarship Award was given to Angela
Paules.
Klens, a retired professor from Lock
Haven University, said he initiated the
award because there "really wasn't a
scholarship award for biology students."
Thane Tumer, last year's winner of the
Freshman Chemistry Award, received two

awards this year. He was given the Organic
Chemistry Award and the Physics Award.
Dr. Kenneth E. Settlemyer, chairman of
the Biological Sciences Department,
awarded Tory Peeler for high academic
excellence in biology. Settlemeyer also
awarded a certificate of merit to Tanya
Doyle for service and scholarship in
biology.
Jim Tressler received this year's
Freshman Chemistry Award.
Dr. Seyhan G. Ege, an instructor and
researcher in organic chemistry at the
University of Michigan, was the featured
guest speaker at the Convocation. She is
the author of the organic chemistry
textbook that LHU students use.
Ege lectured on the advantages of
"organic chemistry as a liberal art." She
spoke of chemistry's value and intellectual
worth, and the skills one can acquire from
the class.
After receiving her undergraduate degree
at the American College for Girls in
Istanbul. Turkey, Ege eamed her Ph.D. at
the University of Michigan. Ege later
became an instructor there, and she also
won the Amoco Good Teaching Award.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

'!.l'..

Value your freedom of choice "
Dear Editon
I've talked with a lot of students on
campus, and we agree there is a serious
problem we have to deal with - it concems
the new registration system. While I
applaud efforts to improve the present
system, I feel that the new one has some
critical imperfections in it. Unfortunately,
many students don't realize what this
registration system is going to do to our
freedom of choice.
The new system offers students NO
CHOICE of professors, time, or drop/add
options. This means we may well get 8
a.m. classes, or 7 p.m. classes, with
professors we'd might not rather have.
Once in a course, there is virtually no way
to get out of it. Drop/adds will be a
"highly unusual circumstance," such as a
failed course or a change in major. A lack
of choice in times will also cause great
difficulties for those who work and/or
commute.
To the best of my knowledge, virtually

no students, either in the formofjhe SCC
or otherwise, antfVeffTSw professors, were
consulted in the creation of this system.
As paying students and responsible adults, I
feel we have the right to voice our opinions
and that an eamest consideration of these
might lead to the creation of a feasible
solution to the registration problem.
Perhaps a compromise can be reached in
a computerized system that at least takes
into account student preferences for times
and professors. At any rate, and this is the
point, this system is being implemented
right now, and will continue to be
implemented unless we take a stand
immediately! Voice your opinion - write
to Dr. Ronald Woodbury, the Associate
Dean of Academic Administration James
Smalley, sign a petition, etc.
If you value your freedom of choice, do
something about it before it's lost! If we
don't, no one will!
Sincerely,
Wendy Webster

Biology Deptartment gets apology
Dear Editon
In response to the letter to the Editor
entitled "LHU Professors Keep Putting Us
Down" published on Tuesday, October 13,
an apology must be given to the Biology
Department and particularly to Dr. Mary
Pursell, who teaches Cell Biology.
It is our understanding that her
colleagues are directing criticism her way
assuming the references were to her.

The article was not intended to strike any
member within the Biology Department,
especially not Dr. Mary Pursell, or any
other LHU professor for that matter.
We are sorry for all the embarrassment
we have caused Dr. Mary Pursell personally
and academically as a professor.
Sincerely,
Connie Gessaman and the fall 1987 HPE

Greb emphasizes Japan's tie of 'the old to the new'
By Yuichi Tabata
Staff Writer
The bullet train whistles as it travels by
Mt. Fuji at 150 miles per hour.
This may be one of the most common
pictures Americans imagine when they hear
"Japan," according to Dr. Edward Greb, a
sociologist on Japan.
Greb, a professor from Washington and
Jefferson College, presented the lecture
"Japan '87" on Tuesday night.
"Japan has a strong tie to its tradition,"
said Greb, opening his lecture that took the
audience on a trip around Japan. He
showed slides of people and places in Japan
as he spoke about his experiences of his
stay there.
"Japan, like a palm tree, falls and rises as
the wind blows, but its root is still there,"
said Greb.
He emphasized that the Japanese take on
new culture while maintaining their
traditions. "The past is always present,"
said Greb.

He also discussed Japanese geography, M *««* «fc;^.
homes, food, education, health conditions,
and stereotypes that Americans tend to hold
about Japan.
One of the particular foods Greb
mentioned was rice, which is the staple
food in Japan. Unlike America's Uncle
Ben's rice, Japanese rice is sticky so that
you can easily hold it with chopsticks.
Discussing Japanese students and
schools, Greb said it is intriguing that
students clean their own schools in Japan,
but American students never do such chores
at their schools.
Most Americans think that Japan has
changed radically in the last few decades,
but in fact those changes are superficial,
said Greb.
Aside from Tuesday night's presentation,
Greb also spoke to several sociology and
anthropology classes this week.

Graduate Program begins with
courses in International Studies
By Pamela Rehm
StcffReporter

The first program that fulfills the
Masters of Liberal Arts requirements was
recently completed in the field of
Intemadonal Studies.
This (vogram was offered in the summer
and is the flrst of its kind, said Graduate
Coordinator, Dr. Douglas S. Campbell.
Campbell also serves as chairperson for
the Department of English, Joiunalism, and
Philosophy.
Campbell said, "The program has a good
beginning and we're off to a good start. We
have a long way to go, but I think we have
a good foundation. We will grow, but
slowly and purposely. We don't expect nor
want a large graduate program."
The program is designed for teachers
interested in using a fuller understanding of
this world to improve their teaching as well
as to enrich their personal lives, said
Campbell.
Ideally developed for teachers at die
elementary and secondary levels, the
graduate program primarily focuses on
content, not methodology, he said.
This past summer, thirteen students
participated in die program, most of whom
were teachers.
Campbell said the topics studied in the
courses are chosen for their ability to
illuminate intemational concems of human
life and communicate the delight of
discovery and strength of understanding.

The course work of this degree consists
of 30 hoius of study, which could have
been completed in one of the two courses
offered this summer.
The first course offered was a core
research seminar which is an introduction
to liberal arts oriented approaches and
methods for researching materials and
informadon related to intemadonal studies.

Dr. Douglas Campbell
The second course offered was one that
focused on Arthurian Literature.
LHU Professor Dr. Michael Peplow
taught the second course of the summer.
He said the program went well and that
he was especially pleased to see teachers
from Penn State to Ohio taking the
courses.

"You have to fool the audience. You
have to make your art look effortless. It

said about die work.
"Although I can't understand, and was
even baffled by, some of the concepts used
by the artists to create the pottery, 1 think
that dieir works were very interesting," said
Jennifer Dailey, a sophomore at LHU.
Professor Rumbalski, an art professor
here at LHU, said "This is Mr.
Kemenyffy's second appearance here. The
art shows a broad diversity in contemporary
ceramics. Students seeking dieir B.F.A. or

don't pay off loans
By Chip Warner
Stcff Reporter

College dropouts are more likely to
default on Guaranteed Student Loans dian
students who complete their education,
according to a study by the University of
Califomia at Los Angeles.
In a study of more dian 6,000 students at
community colleges and vocational schools
on the west coast in 1985, Wellford Wilms
found that 38 percent of students who
dropped out of college later defaulted on
loans.
College dropouts, Wilms speculated,
"eidier didn't have what it took, or die
program was not what diey had hoped for.
They become discouraged and don't pay
back what they owe."
According to Karin Van Deun, assistant
director of financial aid at LHU, "Most
defaults at diis University seem to occur
due to the fact that die borrowers do not
keep in touch with the lending
institutions."

Poignant drama to be sliown this weekend
By John Smith
Movie

Columnist

"The Color Purple," an adaptation of
Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize winning
novel, is an emotional, beautifully filmed
movie directed by Steven Spielberg.
Whoopie Goldburg plays Celie, a
Georgia bom black girl who is raped by her
fadier and gives birth to two children whom
are given away. Then, her fadier gives ha
to a cruel man, known only as "Mister",
who abuses her both physically and
mentally.
The story follows Celie for thirty years
of her troubled life, as she prays for the
children she'll never raise and also for her
beloved younger sister who she would give
anything to see again. Through her
suffering, Celie endures, grows and
becomes almost saint-like.
Celie tells of her experiences in letters
she has written to God and to her sister
Nettie. The letters are written in basic
English but are very powerful.
The casting of the movie is excellent,
and the actors offer great performances.
Goldberg, in a new type of role for her,
•gives an extraordinary performance. Danny
Glover is a formidable "Mister," and it is
obvious why Celie fears him.
It is the supporting cast, however, which
^ a k e s this film sensational. Margaret
Avery's "Shug" is a truly remarkable

character. Shug is a strange yet provacadve
character who helps Celie overcome her
problems with Mister. In fact, the two
enter into a love affair of sorts. Their
relationship is die focus of die story.
"The Color Purple" is a tremendously
moving film. It is very powerful and also
extremely thought-iwovoking.
"The Color Purple" is sponsored by die
SCC and will be shown Friday, Saturday
and Sunday at 8 p.m. with a special
matinee at 2 p.m. on Saturday. It will be
shown in die lower level of the PUB and
admission is free widi validated ID.

For students stumbling over computer

Two Zenith Leading Edge Word
Processing Computers and one printer
arrived early last week at the Writing
Center in Raub Hall.
According to Carolyn Perry, the director
of the writing center, the new computer
additions were purchased with money from
the student equipment fees.
So why drag yourself to the fourth floor
of Raub Hall when you have a typewriter
in your room?
Simplicity in the overall writing process
is the answer to that question. Not only do
these little machines type out your
information and check spelling and
grammar, but, acceding to Perry, "they are
great for students who dread revisions."

leam."
"The computers are very useful; they
help out a lot with my assignments," said
sophomore Jay Kurrar, an international
student
"I love them! Once you learn to use
these computers, you never go back to
typing. You can do anydiing on diem,"
said senior Joan Whittig, a Writing Center
tutor.
Another advantage to using the
computers at the Writing Center is the
assistance available from Perry and a staff
of student workers. Perry is also looking
forward to adding other programs to the
system, one of which will be a graphics
program.
For students who peck their way through
their papers, smile! A Typing Tutorial
program is among the new programs Perry
says "instructs, improves skills, and
increases speed."

ProfessionaL Wrestlers ignite House of Noise Wednesday Night
By Bill Alexander
Sports Editor
Although it wasn't WrestleMania III,
Wednesday night's wrestiing matches in
Thomas Field House had amusement as
well as excitement for all.
I must start off by tipping my hat to the
members of the LHU wresding team who
sang the National Andiem. It didn't sound
like Aretha Franklin, but they did a great
job anyway.
The first bout of the evening pitted Jerry
Allen against Terry Gibbs.
Though Gibbs was distracted by the
chants of "Baldy" by die LHU wresders, he
soon took control of the match.
The match see-sawed back and forth, each
wrestler gaining control for a couple of
minutes, until Allen finally pinned Gibbs
for die victory.
The next bout was for die WWF Ladies
Tag Team Championship as "Velvet"
Maclntyre and Olympia challenged the
champions, Leilani Kai and Judy Martin.
Maclntyre and Olympia had die champs
reeling in the early part of the match, but
after some clever double-teaming, Kai and
Martin gained control and Kai pinned
Olympia to retain dieir belts.
The Nikolai Volkoff/"Special Delivery"
Jones match was third on the card.
Volkoff s singing of the Soviet National
Anthem was greeted with a choms of boos
that suddenly tumed to cheers as Jones
Stormed the ring and "Pearl Harbored" him
before he could finish.
The fans tried to help Jones get back into
the match by chanting "USA! USA!"
several times, but Volkoff proved to be too
much as he pinned Jones.
"The Natural" Butch Reed took on

"Super Star" Billy Graham in the final
match before intermission.
This was without a doubt the most
violent match of the card.
Graham and Reed took tums beating each
other off of the ringside table and hitting
each other with chairs, the table and the
timer's bell.
Reed finally gained the upper hand and
pinned Graham with a littie help from die
ring ropes.
In what proved to be the most
disappointing match of the night,
"Dangerous" Danny Davis squared off
against George "The Animal" Steele.
"The Animal" took control from the start
as he came in the ring and prompdy chased
Davis outside and around the ring.
Davis tumed things around shortiy after
that as he choked "The Animal" with a
foreign object.
"The Animal" finally grabbed control of
the match, and Davis bid a hasty retreat
from the ring. Davis was counted out and
"The Animal" won the bout.
After "The Animal" chased Davis out of
the ring, he ran the referee out and tore
apart one of the tumbuckles to the delight
of the crowd.
The final bout of die night was the tag
team of Barry Horowitz and Steve
Lombardi versus the "Young Stallions"
Jim Powers and Paul Roma.
Powers and Roma used their speed and
quickness to gain an early advantage, but a
well placed knee by Horowitz gave that
team the momentum.
That didn't last long as Powers tagged
but to Roma, who took control of the
match and pinned Lombardi for the victory.
It was obvious from the large, boisterous
crowd that professional wrestling has a
home in Lock Haven, and I can't wait until
the next time the WWF comes to town.

Overtime Tech goal forces draw
By Andy Devilbiss
Sports Reporter
It ai^ieared diat Lock Haven had secured a
win over New York Tech on Wednesday,
but a goal with six seconds to go in
overtime left the Bald Eagles with a 2-2 tie.
"It's extremely frustrating." said Head
Coach Lenny Long. "We didn't do the
right diings. and we had a lot of bad luck."
In the second period of the game Tibor
Kobolak took a pass from Brian "Butch"
Williamson and lobbed the ball over the
NYT goalkeeper Eugene Rochowski for the
Haven's first goal.
With just under six minutes left in the
second half. New York Tech scored a goal,
sending the game into overtime.
Gary Ross scored in the first minute of
the overtime period on a pass from Rob
Eaton, giving Lock Haven a 2-1 advantage.
"The ball crossed in front, and I just
chipped it over die goalkeeper," said Ross.
Just as Lock Haven was about to

celebrate dieir victory, NYT scored with
just six seconds left on the clock.
"Somehow it got to the guy's feet at the
18, and he just tumed and shot it in. It was
like he had a tunnel right to the goal," said
Haven midfielder Mark Colangelo.
"We scored two goals, which proves diat
our finishing is getting better," said Ross.
Lock Haven outshot NYT 16 to 13 and
took six comerkicks to NYTs four.
Warren Westcoat scooped up ten saves
for the Haven, while NYT's Rochowski
recorded 12 saves.
Now 4-5-4 on the season, the Bald
Eagles-host the 13-0-0 Alderson Broaddus,
the number one ranked team in the country
(according to the NAIA poll) on Sunday at
2 p.m.
"We seem to play better against better
teams." said Long. "If I were a college
student, it would be a great game for a
Sunday afternoon. I'd get to see the
number one team in the country, and I'd get
to see my home team play them."

Jim Powers leaps from the second turnbuckle to smash the shoulder
of Steve Lombardi while his partner Paul Roma holds Lombardi's
arm. Powers and Roma defeated Lombardi and Barry Horowitz.

The unseen man behind LHU sports
By Maryellen Jaskuta
Sports Reporter
In the department of athletics, the man
who often goes without notice is not a
coach, but Buck O'Reilly, Lock Haven's
Sports Information Director (SID).
O'Reilly was bom and raised in Lock
Haven. Aifter graduating from Yale in 1%2
widl a Bachelor of Arts degree in English,
he returned to Lock Haven to work as
sports editor for the Lock Haven Express,
which his family owned.
After three years with The Express, he
went to Los Angeles to work for the
Associated Press for three more years, and
then again retumed to Lock Haven to
become editor-in-chief of The Express from
1970-1975.
"Dealing with the paper as a whole
involved a lot of time," said O'Reilly of
his time at The Express.
Later, after The Express was sold,
O'Reilly left the newspaper business and
took a sabatical until November 1980 when
he became SID at the Haven.
What exacdy is a SID you may ask? As
a SID, O'Reilly keeps up on all athletics
that take place at LHU.
His first responsiblity is to make up
brochures or programs for the teams.
Secondly, he writes a preseason story for
the teams. This story includes a team
roster, a schedule and previous year
statistics. These I'packets" are on a mailing

list of 103 recipients and are received by
other PSAC schools, newspapers, and radio
and television stations throughout
Pennsylvania.
A "packet" is published every week in
the fall and winter seasons, and "round up"
packet, which bring together everything
that happened in the season, are distributed
at the end of each season.
O'Reilly is also responsible for the
keeping and filing of all statistics, and
making arrangements for visiting media
who cover LHU sporting events.
As far as O'Reilly's future is concerned,
he has no immediate plans for leaving Lock
Haven. He enjoys being around the college
and sports atmosphere.
