EAGLE EYE Parsons Union Building Lock Haven University Lock Haven, Pennsylvania 17745 V Vol. 33 No. 2 8 pages Friday September 12,1986^ Pre-season football preview see page 7 Vali-dine out, paper meal tickets in By Jeffrey Hilty Co-News Editor Complaints are on the rise tiiis semester about the durability of mealtickets. The Student Life Handbook states that 1> the food service operation of Bentley Hall is selected by a competitive bid process and that 2) the operation of the caterer is supervised by a consultant, the university, and a student food service committee. Timothy Susick, Associate Dean of Students, is the liaison between the university and the student food service committee. Susick stated that the university reviewed eight "proposals" from companies interested in handling the university meal program. He stated that reviewing the proposals of each of the companies seeking the food service contract is the responsibility of the Vice President for Admissions; the Dean and Associate Dean of Students; Mr. Gallagher, Business Manager; and Wayne Clickner, contract writer for the university. Susick said that the university sets guidelines by which each company must abide by before a proposal is submitted. The administration reviewed 1) the management staff of each company, 2) each companies proposed price of the meal plan, and 3) their budget. Custom Management Corporation received the contract for the meal program this year. Custom Management has received the contract for the past six years. John Wilt, Director for Food Services, said, " Last year the old contract specified that we must use the Vali-dine system. However, this year the unversity took vali-dine out of the contract and told the company to write Its own proposal for the meal tk:ket." Custom Management made their first proposal in conjunction with Dave Cox and the Student Co-operative Council. The first proposal was to put a sticker on the student's identification card. SCC President Kevin McNamara was fbr the proposal because each student would have to pay his/her student activity fee by the beginning of the semester. Susick stated that the first proposal was unacceptable because it would collide with the housing agreement. Wilt saki that Custom Management is allowing students into the cafeteria with or without photo i.D. through today. Beginning tomorrow a student must present some form of photo I.D. Concerning mealticket durability, Wilt said that these tickets are definitely not as durable as last year's card, but there were no cost increases. The student food service committee is a standing committee which handles student complaints and concerns. McNamara stated that any person who has paid their activity fee is eligible to join the committee, which will accept members at the first or second SCC meeting. Susick said that he is not pleased with the current meal ticket plan, and he intends to work with the student food service committee. Susick,Wilt, and McNamara all agree that students should voice any disagreement through the proper channels in order to get any action. Exchange program goes to Japan By Sue Berger News Editor An exchange program between Lock Haven University and Nara University of Japan will begin in the spring semester. John Johnston, Associate Dean of International Studies, worked with Nara University officials to create the new program. Because the university is tocated in an older section of Japan, students chosen to study there will have to learn the basKS of Japanese language and culture before they go. 'Students will have to know some Japanese so that they can do such things as find the subway or a bus," Johnston said, "because most of the street signs are in Japanese." He added that although many people at the university speak English, most people in the surrounding regton do not. Once students are at Nara, they will have 12-18 semester hours of Japanese history, politics, economics, and culture. Although the university Is in an older area of Japan, the campus and its facilities are quite modern, Johnston said. The International Office is now accepting applications for students interested in this exchange. Since it is such an "intensive" program, only three students will be selected, said Johnston, but it will be a yearly program. A student turns his meal ticket into be ctieclced. This fall, a new meal ticloks this much like Lena Tumer cani be all bad. Many of our harshest critics will be pleased to hear that we've hired a Copy Editor-Tina Hoffman, who several months ago worked as our Layout manager. We're all very happy to have Tina back again-now we have someone to take the blame for that rarity of rarities, a misspelled word in the Eagle Eye. Finally.

However, good intentions don't always lead to success, and this case is not an exception. I have heard nothing but negative criticism in the nearly two weeks that the cards have been in use. There are several specific complaints that I have heard about the cards. One is that it takes a much longer time for the new card to be marked off than it took to "punch" the old card in the machine. Two, the cards are so flimsy and weak, I doubt if there will be anyone who will not have to get a new card by the end of the semester because theirs has become too beat up. t'll also hate to see what a good rainstorm will do to these cards. Third, a friend pointed out to me that the cards are not even the right size to fit into a wallet, a very convenient and popular place to keep a meal ticket. I suspect that it is probably too late to replace the new system for this semester, which is unfortunate. I'm glad that Custom Management Corporatton is trying new ideas to see what will work best, but please, don't make us live with this new system any longer than we have to.

September 12, 1986 Eagle Eye 3 Himes bomb scare turns out to be hoax By S u e Berger and Jeffrey Hilty Co-News Edilors A bomb threat made last week to the Himes Building on the campus of Lock Haven University will be difficult to trace because it was made on the 1-800 line, according to Richard Hepner, Director of LHU Law Enforcement. This was the second such threat made to the Himes Building within the last week, possibly by the same individual according to personnel in the building. The Admissions Office, located in Himes, received an out-of-state call on the toll free line saying that a bomb would explode in the building betw/een 2 and 3 p.m. Law Enforcement searched the building at noon but found no bomb. At I p . m . , campus police asked all personnel to leave the building. Sandra Hammann, Director of Public Relations, whose office is located in the Himes Building, moved to the Eagle Eye Offices where she continued her work. Kathy Ryan, a secretary in the PR Office , went to Sullivan Hall to work for the rest of the afternoon. Ryan said that she had to come in early Friday morning so that she could complete the work she did not get done due to the interruption. Although the bomb threat was a hoax, Hammann said, "You have to treat each threat seriously, because you never know when it's a crank call or the real thing I" Law Enforcement is continuing its investigation into the incidents. New weekly movie location s e e busy working fbr students By Jeffrey Hilty Co-News Editor The Lock Haven University Student Cooperative Council is currently working on student programs, and is dealing with its traditbnal activities.

Old Lock Haven Hospital turned into practice fields Athletic teams at Lock Haven University will have a new practfce field this year when work is completed at the site of the oki Lock Haven Hospital. The old hospital building, on Susquehanna Avenue about half a b k x * from Zimmerli Gymnasium, was torn down in June. The hospital was built in 1908 and used until Lock Haven Hospital moved to its present location on Cree Drive in 1961. Workers from Cuyahoga Wrecking Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, are now in the process of grading the land in preparation for the new practtoe field. A sidewalk and steps have been installed, and a new driveway opened to the adjacent Clinton County Courthouse Annex. Eventually, a fence will be erected around the fieki. The demolition project was given top priority in the State Univertsity System by the Department of General Services last year. Costs for the project were originally budgeted at $150,000, but has more than doubled because of problems with asbestos. The contractor found more asbestos in the building than was originally thought. and by federal law all of the asbestos had to be removed before the demolition coukl proceed. After 98 tons of contaminated material were removed, an additional $200,000 was added to the cost of the project. When demolKton began, the contractor moved qutokly, razing the old hospital in about two weeks..- Rubble was then removed and work began on the practice field. "It should be quite attractive," said George Marshall, Lock Haven University vice president for administration. "We need additional playing fields desperately. The f iekls we now have are used from sunup to sundown." The okJ hospital buikling grounds were donated to Lock Haven University by the Clinton County Commisstoners. Several other major construction projects have been approved by the State for Lock Haven University. Design work is under way on renovation projects for the Akeley Building and Price Auditorium. The State Capital budget for 1987, approved over the summer, includes $990,000 for electrical work at the University. Eagle Eye Staff Meeting Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. Lower Level of the PUB Everyone welcome 4 Eagle Eye Friday, September 12, 1986 Richter watercolors presented in Sloan Gallery this week By Jennifer Brady Features Editor Wilmer S. Richter, who has donated about 104 works of art to Lock Haven University, was the first artist to be featured this semester in an exhibition opening on September 8, in Sloan Gallery. After students and faculty had the opportunity to admire his collection-of landscapes ranging from Delaware County , PA to Venice, Italy, Professor Stanislaus Wisniewski introduced Rtohter's son, William C . Richter, who was there to talk about his father's works. Wisniewski said that Richter's works represent a total dedication for one man's passton for art. He added that at the age of 95. Richter still enjoys painting, and had plans to visit each of the 50 states to do a painting in each ona . William Richter said, "(regret that my father cannot be here tonight. I know he wouki be pleased to see this exhibit." 5 o S' I 9" This is one of many landscapes done In watercolors by 95-year-old Wilmer S. Richter. Richter donated 104 of his worl(s to LHU. His collection was put on display in Sloan Gallery on September 8. He went on to describe some of the events in his father's career, and also what it was like to grow up as the son of a great artist. Richter said even though his father has sons and daughters who attended other schools, he chose to donate his works to LHU because, "I don't think there's a back road, pond, or farm that he hasnt sketched in this area." He said his father was born in Philadelphia and quit public school after eighth grade, but was able to study at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts when he was 19. Foltowing World War I. Richter used war scenes sketched in a 5" X 8" notebook as the portfolto he showed the editor of the Saturday Evening Post magazine, which the editor later published. He has done illustrations and covers for other magazines as well. Professor May Dyer of the LHU Art Department said, "The paintings are extremely well done and are a definite asset to us." ©^©DfoSDfQD M3D0i]ft British students having fun By Sarah Gibbons StaffReporter "Fun, fun, fun!" That seems to be the general opinion so far of the group of English students here at Lock Haven University. The group of 18 students, including myself, are spending one semester here as part of an exchange scheme from Bulmershe College in Reading, about 30 miles from London. Although we have been here a relatively short time and are still rather overwhelmed by everything, we are generally enjoying the experience. For most of us, this is our first visit to the States, and one of which we have dreamed for a tong time. As a result, we are grabbing the opportunity with both hands and making the most oif it. We have been made to feel extremely welcome by our fellow students who seem much less reserved than those in England, and we enjoy the International atmosphere at LHU. Naturally, we have already noticed many differences in the lifestyle: some for better and some for worse. The most nottoeable and inconvenient difference is obviously the drinking laws. Whilst not being a group of alcoholics, we are used to being able to drink when and where we want. So, the harsh drinking laws are not easy to accept! The sportsmen among us prefer the American attitude to sports: there is more dedteation here, and they approve of the seriousness with which it is taken. The sports facilities here are far superior to our own and full advantage of them is being taken by us. However, those for drama are inferior to our own as we are a very drama orientated college, and those active on the stage miss this at LHU. Bulmershe, too, is divided into dorms or hostels. Most of us have single rooms and so sharing is rather strange. There is the advantage that we get to know more Americans, but people do miss the privacy of a single room. Especially the washbasins we have in Reading-they just save that early morning mad dash to the bathroom! This is somewhat compensated for by the presence of phones in each room. They only add to our laziness, but surely this can be excused when you consider we have to climb all the steps to reach our dorms, thanks to the powers that be who placed us in North and Gross Halls! The food is great, if you like salad that is, but it becomes rather monotonous! The food at Bulmershe is not wonderful but there is some variety, although you only get one serving. It is too early to comment on classes, but it woukl appear a subject is exptored in less depth over here, thus making things easier than normal to us. We have six or nine hours a week which is less than we are used to, so there are no complaints on that score! We are here for 16 weeks, which will fly by, even though we will all miss certain aspects, or more probably certain PEOPLE of England I'm sure! For now though, we're making the most of this fantastic experience and enjoying life to the fullest. Thanks to everyone for the friendly welcome! Tootsie reveals himself this weekend at the S C C movie By Ken Foster StaffReporter Released in 1982, Tootsie was the last in a string of comedies featuring cross-dressing and androgynous characters—certainly one of the more bizarre film genres to gain mass popularity. Tootsie was preceeded by the French comedy La Cage Au Folies. a story about a man who wants to hide from his prospective in-laws the fact that his 'mother' is actually a transvestite. Then there was Victor/Victoria, in whtoh Julie Andrews portrayed an out of work singer who becomes a star by masquarading as a man and getting a job as a female impersonator. When Tootsie followed with virtually the same plot, many peopte expected that it would be a stale flop. Instead, it became one of the funniest and most popular comedies in history. Dustin Hoffman giv«s a terrific performance as an unemployed actor who throws on a dress and becomes Amertoa's favorite soap opera actress. The rest of the cast is also excellent. Bill Murray ad libs his way though the role of Hoffman's room mate, who is not too thrilled about his friend's new wardrobe. Teri Garr plays Hoffman's neunDtic girlfriend, who doesn't realize that the actress she hates so much actually is her tx)yfriend, and Jessica Lange won an Oscar for her supporting performance as a young actress who is unable to understand the sexual attraction she has for her seemingly female co-star. Sponsored by the SCC, Tootsie will be shown Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 8p.m in the lower level of the PUB.

This law also forbids reimbursement by insurance carriers for claims against violators. Every year, claims against fraternities are made by hotels, restaurants and clubs because of alcohol-related vandalism done to their premises during fraternity functions. It is also possible for universities to assert financial claims against fraternities for vandalism done to university property connected with the consumption of alcohol at a fraternity party. Colleges and universities across the state are threatened with large claims which could force them to close. Consider these: A Pennsylvania university was recently required to pay $5,000,000 to the families of three minor students who died in a drunk driving accident following a cocktail party at a professor's home. A Pennsylvania c o l l e g e is presently being sued for $3,000,000 because a minor student got drunk at a dorm "keg" party and later had a drunk driving accident resulting in two deaths. A P e n n s y l v a n i a university is being sued for an amount in excess of $1,000,000 because a minor student became intoxicated at a dorm party and fell down a stainwell, causing permanent damage. A P e n n s y l v a n i a c o l l e g e was sued for $2,500,000 by the parents of a high school senior who got drunk at a fraternity party and was later seriously injured in a drunk driving accident. It is necessary as students, faculty, and administrators that we educate ourselves to our personal liability and it is necessary to work together in dealing with this problem. Army ROTC Cadets finish first For the second consecutive year, the LHU Army ROTC cadets (Eagle Company) in competition with some 150 colleges and universites from Maine to Florida, finished first at the Army ROTC Advanced Camp, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Each year, senior cadets in the program must attend the six-week training and evaluation camp at Fort Bragg. Cadets are evaluated daily in five major areas: Job Performance and Leadership, Tactics, Land Navigation, the Army Physical Fitness Test, and Rifle Marksmanship. An elaborate, computer generated scoring system assigns grade points for subareas, and by the end of camp each cadet has a five-digit score which determines his or her exact ranking. Major Gerald Nye, Officer-in-Charge of the LHU Army ROTC said, "Only host institutions (LHU's program is an extension of "host" Penn State) appear on the computer printout, but for the .second consecutive year LHU's score has exceeded that of the 111 host, institutions. "LHU cadets excel each year in Leadership and Job Performance," said Nye. He added that five of the 15 attendees this year scored in the top 10 percent campwide, and 11 were in the top one-third. Nye believes most of the credit for their success goes to the cadets, but the assistance of the cadre advisors. Captain Alan Davison and Master Sergeant James Hannligan shouki not be overtooked. Nye said, "Outstanding togistical and administrative support from Sergeant First Class Dzintars Zuicens and secretary Diana Haines freed the cadre advisors and returning seniors to concentrate on training. The 15 cadets who made up the first place Eagle Company include: Steve Donakison, Rick Busko, Brian Jackson, Kim Thompson, Mel Greene, Lee Traost, Curt Beck, Bob Rote, Bob Hoffman, Darryl Martin, Dave Martin, Colleen Hackenberg, Cindy Wamsley, Dave Rtohard, and Alan Statham. Over 50 countries represented ISA enrollment highest ever at LHU By lUlilce Daily StaffReporter Boasting their largest enrollment ever, the International Student Association (ISA) has grown to be a club concerned with educating the campus and community about international issues. England, Scotland, and West Germany are among the countries represented by the 50 new foreign students now attending the international relations group according to Eric Otiende, the ISA president from Kenya. The close-knit club continues to be a "mini-United Nations" right here at Lock Haven University, encouraging Americans to join and have a chance to become exposed to foreign studies. ISA, one of the largest student organizations on campus with over 100 members, attributes Americans with much of its long-standing success. "Although the title of the club is the International Student Association, it is not exclusively for international students," Otiende said. "Some of our greatest assets and most energetic and dedicated members are Americans, including some of our highest ranking members." Highlights from last semester included directly aWing the UNICEF program and a presentation on world economic crisis by Dr. Mayorga Cortez. The future plans of the organization will remain the same: To continue sharing cultural heritage with the local community and to extend knowledge of the international community to the Keystone Central school districts. Cordial relations with the fraternities will continue to grow in the future. Otiende asserted that Lock Haven University is widely recognized as a college with international "flavor". "Our doors will always remain open for more American members," Otiende said. Eric Otiende, President of International Student Association New professor identifies witti LHU frestimen By lUlaureen Campbell StaffReporter Just as all new students to the campus must adjust to their new environment, new professors must also become adjusted to new surroundings. Professor Denise Warner, originally from Ftorida, has experienced her own set of fears about starting her new position at Lock Haven University. Warner, who can be found teaching costume design in the Theater Department, claims that she felt the anxiety of leaving the known, to face the unknown, but she eagerly met the challenge. Warner earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater and Speech Communications at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. She then received certification in secondary education and, shortly after attended graduate school. Eventually, she decided that she wanted a degree in costume design. Although she claims that most of her costume work has been done within educational settings, Warner has done work with summerstock companies in Kentucky, Baltimore, Maryland, and Orlando, Florida. Warner said that she is very pleased with her decision to teach at LHU. She has always been intrigued by Pennsylvania. She said the people within the community appear to be warm and friendly. 6 Eagie Eye Friday, September 12, 1986 On the wrong side of the ball By Joe Krause Sports Columnist "I always turn to the sports page first," Former Chief Justice Earl Warren once boasted, "because the sports page records man's achievements. The front page has nothing but man's failures." Times certainly do change. Yesterday, we were talking about the future. Today, we reminisce about the past. It is becoming more and more apparent over the last decade that our achievements as well as our failures in sport are directly related to the use and misuse of drugs. Last January, less than twenty-hours after the New England Patriots reached the Nations most watched sporting event, six players tested positive for drug use. J u n e , 1 7 , 1 9 8 6 , Len Bias w a s a n achievement. The former University of Maryland all-time lading scorer, became the Boston Celtics first round selection in this past year's NBA Draft. Forty Hours Later, Bias died from what later would be diagnosed as cocaine intoxication. His celebrated achievement became a sudden failure, clouding the complexion of this already blurred picture. A sad, sad story that needed to happen. If it werent an athlete, it would have been another mere statistto. The fact that it was Len Bias, an athlete, made it memorable and made it the topto of discussion on every corner, in every town across the U.S. Maryland officials woukl later site the draft, the meetings and the tong season as to much pressure for one individual to endure. Still, this type of pressure actively goes on, whether it be professional, collegiate, or high school. Winning is the bottom line. To state an already overstated thesis. Intercollegiate Sport creates schools for scandal, embarassment and misplaced emphasis. NCAA addresses the issue I guess you can say that in the wake of a tragedy, acttons tend to become louder than words. Or so it seems. Take for example, the National Collegiate Athletto Association (NCAA), the governing body for collegiate athlettos. They have responded whh a few amendments of their own in an attempt to ease the pressure. E F F E C T I V E , August 1, 1986: "The student-athlete annually, prior to the participation in intercollegiate competitton during the academto year in question, shall sign a statement submitting information related to eligibility, recruitment, financial aid. amateur status and involvement in organized gambling activities... while consenting to be tested for drugs. Failure to complete and sign the aforementioned statement shall result in ineligibility." Times certainly do change. Another attempt implemented for the first time by the NCAA, pertains to post season competition. All players on all teams must submit to a random test for drugs, prior to entering into championship play. Positive results mean disqualification from competition...IF, the players found positive are among the top eight members of your team. If not, individual Players who fall into the other category automatically become ineligible. In general terms, if your goirtg to use chemicals, forget about the glory and honor that accompany championships. Your ineligible for the brass ring. In the aftermath of it all, what does this mean for the athlete and for society, especially since our society remains toiled in relative obscurity over what action is proper in fighting this ugly situation. "Our only solution is to get to the big drug pushers and shoot them!"- Dr. Ken Cox Should we test athletes for drugs? No matter how you look at it. Drugs steal talent and end careers. Something must be done. Do we. or should we randomly test our athletes for drugs? Some will say no and argue the 4th amendment in their defense. Mandatory drug testing is a degrading and humiliating invasion of privacy. Au Contrarel Those in favor argue. If you have nothing to hkle, why shouki you object to a urinalysis? Apply this scenark) to athletes, and some will say that the athlete is publto property, admired by the general public. They k>se their rights under the fourth amendment. They are role models for youngsters; they shouklnt use drugs. Soccer player, Steve Paguia has a different idea, "Why single out the athlete, lets test everyone for drugs." "I'm for it," says Junior Price, LHU Basketball star. "The publto has a right to know." Sharing the same opinion, LHU Fullback, Roosevelt Brown said, "If your an athlete, you don't use drugs. Lets get in line, I'll be first." Soccer Player, Sean Perry added, "I think we should test our athletes, its good for the individual sports." Head Football Coach Jack Fisher expressed mixed emotions. "I think drug testing has application, however, I question the validity of the actual tests. Are the results reliable?" One look at recent statistics released by the Journal of the American Medical Associatton will help you relate to Coach Fisher's response. Labs with government contracts arrived at incorrect conclusions up to 100 percent of the time. Furthermore, The method of urinalysis most commonly used in drug testing (the "EMIT kit") has also proven unreliable. The kit gives a false positive result about 10 to 40 percent of the time. Dr. Charles Eberle, Athletic Director had this response, "I would like to do it right now; hell, its gotten out of hand. I'm not worried about invasion." Of course, as Eberle pointed out, there is a questton of cost. It may not be feasible for our school to test every student-athlete. Schools can spend up to $100 per athlete, depending on how extensive the testing program is. There is the 4-5 series test, which is minimal in cost and only detects certain chemicals. From there, the series gets more extensive and mora expensive. As Prof. David Tomasi, Head Athletic Trainer, points out, "It's getting more and more expensive. Right now, were looking at six or seven thousand dollars just for the fall .semester." I wonder. Should saving money be our first concern? Other interesting responses include the foltowing: "I'm not opposed to it [drug testing], but I'd be surprised if we would." Head Lacrosse Coach, Rose Ann Neff. Assistant Athletic Director and Head FieW Hockey Coach Sharon Taylor sakl, "I dont think anybody should be tested. Random testing is a violation of rights." (Keep in mind. The Ladies Field Hockey Team competes in Division I, so they may be subjected to testing a lot sooner). "I'm sort of on the fence about it. If it was mandatory, I would certainly go along with it." Lenny Long, Head Soccer Coach. Presklent Willis added, "It may be an infringement of students rights." Tutorial Coordinator, Don Pearman said, "No, absolutely not, its not a cure-all." Head Men's Basketball Coach Kurt Kanaskie said, 'I'm for drug testing, there's no better deferent." I suppose there are no right or wrong answers. However, time has come to address this issue and take action. Ih sport, its not a questton of who's using drugs, but a questton of who's not using drugs. Times certainly do change. "Why single out the athletes,? Lets test everyone for drugs."-Steve Paguia New Men's X-C coach at LHU By Dan Hanson ^X3rts Reporter This summer Lock Haven University saW good-bye to 17 year cross country coach Jim Dolan, and welcomed the new coach, Kurt Smith. Smith may be the new guy on the block, but he is no stranger to LHU. Smith did his undergraduate work here, and ran cross country for the Bald Eagles under Dolan. "I always enjoyed it (Lock Haven) because of its size," Smith said . "There was always someone to turn to for help, and the people are very warm and friendly." A native of Mechantosburg, Smith has no previous coaching experience on the collegiate level, but he coached the Lock Haven High School cross country team to four successful seasons before being hand picked by Dolan to replace him as head coach at LHU. 'I am a go-out-and- get-the-job-done kind of coach. I'm not a rah-rah kind of coach. I tell the runners what needs to be done, and the rest is up to them." Smith saki. Smith is married and has three children. He enjoys coaching, cross country skiing, cycling, and fly fishing. For Smith, coaching is more than a job, it does have its rewards. "I like working with the young men, seeing them grow acedamically, mentally, and helping them through tough times." In college sports there is a lot of pressure to win, and some schools will go to all lengths to achieve this goal. Smith believes there is more to winning than a team's record. "There is a valuable lesson to be learned on the cross country course," Smith sakl. 'H the athlete realizes his full potential, that is more important than having a winning record." JmBKSS Friday, September 12,1986 Eagle Eye 7 Fisher optimistic about upcomming season By Bill Alexander Co-Sports Editor With 16 starters returning from the 1985 team. Head coach Jack Fisher has an "optimistic" outtook on the upcomming season. "We have worked tong and hard, and we have a tot of experience returning. If we execute well, we'll win games," Rsher said. Quarterback Pat Cahill will again be leading the Eagles offense. Cahill rushed for a team high 634 yards and threw for an additional 609 last year. He also led the team in scoring with 42 points (7 TD's). "Pat made tremendous progress last year and will be our field general on offense," said Fisher. Joining Cahill in the backfiekl will be co-captian Rosie Brown at fullback, and Tom Smykowski and Bruce Pendelton will fill the halfback positions. Brown, a second-team All-Conference player last year, rushed for 548 yards and scored six touchdowns in 1985 while Smykowski had 248 yards rushing but no touchdowns. Pendelton played quarterback in 1985 but is moving to halfback this year. He rushed for 10 yards and passed for 28 others last season. The offensive line is anchored by co-captain John Elsenhooth at tackle and center Jim McGonnell. On defense, co-captain and inside linebacker Stan Allen will lead an experienced group of returning players. Allen led the team in tackles with 114 last year. Jeff Swanson (strong saftey), Mike Major (defensive end), and Steve Suriano (nose tackle) will help lead the defensive attack for the Eagles. According to Fisher, all the teams will be tough, but his primary objective is to win the season opener. "Lyocming is returning almost all of last years starters on offense and defense," Fisher said. "Their quarterback is ona of the finest we will meet all year and they have a good group of receivers." Fisher continued by saying, "Their offensive line is big and experienced. On defense, they have a strong secondary and we will have to be able to throw the ball on them to win." Defending Pennsylvinia State Athletto Conference Champion (PSAC), Bloomsburg and Indiana will be strong also. The team is hoping for a big fan turnout on Saturday. A victory here, and the team could be on their way to a PSAC Championship. New football booster club formed by merger By Bill Hunter Co-Sports Editor In a recent merger, the people of Lock Haven and members of the Lock Haven University football staff have joined together to form a Lock Haven University football booster club.

Leone-along with booster club officers President Jim Shirey and Secretary/Treasurer Chariie Mulner~are trying to develop a scholarship fund to attract some of the better football players to Lock Haven. Head Football Coach Jack Fischer said, "We're taking this idea one step at the time, and are hoping for the best."

Haven field hockey topped by Penn State 1 -0 were three ladies who had an outstanding game for the Haven: Diane Lokey, Kim Hasson and Ginny Neiss. 'Our offense needs a lot of work, especially in front of tha cage. Although I felt it was a pretty good game defensively, I think we definitely need to work together more as a team," saki junior Kim Hasson. "We did very well in the first half, but we just werent executing anything in the second." The Haven's next game will be heM on Saturday at the University of Connecticut in a tournament type situation. The Lady Eagles are playing against the University of Maine team, meanwhile, the Michigan State team is matched against the number one ranked Yukon University team.

By Joselle Meiito Sports Reporter In a grudge match against arch rival Penn State, the Lock Haven Field Hockey Team was denied a victory by the score of 1-0. "I was not pleased at all with the team's pertormance. If we would have played moderately like we did on Sunday, we probably would have won by three goals," said Head Coach Sharon Taytor. In the second half of the match, the Lady Eagles did not get a shot off or have any penalty corners. The number eight ranked Penn State team scored their first and only goal indirectly off of a penalty corner at 16:25 into the second half.
