Too much sun now won't be fun in future
By Kathy Schmidt
Eagle EyeFeaturesReporter
Lock Haven UnivCTsity students are taking advantage of die warm spell by staying
out of the residence hall and lying out in the
sun.
Students can be found on lawns all over
campus soaking up the sun's rays. However, according to the American Medical
Association (AMA) they may be causing ir-

reversible damage totiieirskin.
The effects of the sun's ultra violet rays
account for more than 400,000 cases of skin
cancer each year.
Covering up witii a T-shirt is not totally
effective, according to die Skin Cancer
Foundation. The organization says die only
proven partially-effective method is to use a
sun block. In addition, die AMA suggests
that reapplication is necessary to maintain
protection since water and perspiration wash
away the lotion.

Special attention should be paid to die
more vulnerable areas of the body, including
thetiu-oat,ankles and back of die neck.
The American Medical Association also
suggests using sun block with a Skin Protection Factor that will protect your skin
type. The SPF designates tiie amount of
time a person can stay out in the sun while
wearing the lotion, as opposed to not wearing die lotion. The higher tiie SPF number
the more protection.
An additional factor that should be taken

into account is the intensity of the sun. The
American Medical Association says the
sun's intensity is greatest between 10 a.m.
and 2 p.m.
The Skin Cancer Foundation also warns
that precautions should be taken on overcast
days, since 75 percent of the sun's rays can
penetrate a cloud.

Vending machine to counter shoplifting

Eagle Eye News Rqwrter
Chips, crackers, and candy are no longer
on the shelves at the Eagle Wing Snack, located inside the Parson Union Building.
Tiiey can now be purchased from a vending
machine located inside the snack bar.
According to Leiand Spangler, Student
Union Adminisuator, one of the reasons is
an alarming increase in shoplifting.
The increase in theft has increased from
one percent to 10 percent The vending machines are used as a last resort.

the good name of all the students," says
Spangler. " In reality, you are stealing from
yourself."
Spangler along witii the employees will go
to the point of prosecution to anyone caught
stealing.
Another reason for tiie machine is to help
resolve the problem of the long lines when a
customer only wants a bag of chips or crackers or candy. The disadvantage is that the
items in die machine are more expensive
than before and there is not as much variety
and quantity in the bags.

"So why are you still here?," (As

Now they get the astonished look

So. in order to eliminate any more

these "young people" are doing here.
Elderhostel is a nadonal and international organizational with its main

ethnic or cultural theme. Polish and
Jewish weeks are among the more
popular that the University sponsors.
In a cultural week, most participants are of that particular descent or married to someone who is.
Classes revolves around such thing
as literamre, politics and geography
of the country being emphasized.
Other universities run weeks
around such themes as an, music,
outdoor sports ( adapted for the 60
plus population), and computers.
Also, there are many Elderhostel
programs in such coimtries as England, Poland, and Australia. (Be-

sides the good company, the educational experience and the charming
young students coordinators, this is
an excellent way to see another
country at a reasonable price.)

SCC Summer Interim discussed
the recycling on campus
Terry Day
Eagle Eye Editor in Chief
The use of Styrofoam plates and cups in
Bentiey Dining Hall were questioned at tiie
Student Cooperative Council Summer Interim meeting yesterday.
Senator George Nasci questioned the use
of Styrofoam because of the environmental
issuetiiatis attached with Styrofoam.
"Are we going to follow through to be environmentally aware?," Nasci asked.
Nasci added that tljsi^ are not recycling

known whether or not the plates or cups we
use are biodegradable.
SCC Director of Activities Steven Infanti
said, "It's good to see that people are still

concemed with the environment several
months after Earth Day."
Infanti added tiiat the purpose of Earth
Day "was not to excite us for one day, but to
make people aware of the environment every day."
