The SCC received about $12,000 from the collection of parking fines last year, and although they have been collecting and using the money generated by the parking fines for many years, the University has the legal right to receive the funds, said Phelps. The University currently provides all security, maintenance, and development of the parking lots, said Phelps. "We [the University] do virtually everything for parking, yet when there is some revenue associated with parking it goes to student government. Since I learned about it, it seemed to me to be something 1 wanted to set straight," said Phelps. Phelps said that the parking fines will be used primarily fw the "enhancement" of the parking operation and that the parking fine monies will be put into the University's general operating budget. "It is my intention to use the funds in order to do a better job with the parking operation. We would like better signs, maybe more parking, and a person to handle the book work," said Phelps. SCC President Bob Rote said that he feels that the SCC could make better use of the money than the University. "We were making money off of it (parking fines), and putting it into a group. They (the University) will be doing the same thing, but they won't have the extra money after paying for an employee and his/her benefits," said Rote. Rote said that the University will have to start the person it hires for the bookkeeping at a base salary of $6.13 an hour plus benefits while the SCC could hire that same person for $4-$S on a part-time basis and not provide a benefit package. According to Rote, "We make better use of the (parking ticket) money because we're not under Commonwealth guidelines, nor are our employees unionized." Phelps said that additional parking expenses that have arisen in the past year was one of the reasons the University decided to begin collecting the revenues from the parking fines. One of the additional parking expenses, said Phelps, is the new parking lot behind the Silk mill which costs the University $350 a month in rental fees. Director of Law Enforcement Richard Hepner said more parking expenses may come up in the future. "If you talk about the possibility of paving the temporary parking lot next to Zimmerli, you're talking about six or seven grand," said Hepner. Phelps said that the person who will be employed by the University to keep the books will begin working in the area of Law Enforcement and Safety. Hepner said, "I think we'd be able to keep a better handle on the tickets if we kept everything in one central office." Hepner said that he feels that the money collected from parking fines will enable them [Law Enforcement] to better control the parking situation. "I think it's going to be a benefit to us. I think we're going to be able to stay on top of evCTything," said Hepner. Dr. Dean Phelps Rote said that with the parking ticket money going to the University, the SCC will no longer receive the parking decal fee or the parking ticket money, but it will no longer have to pay an accountant to keep records of the parking money. Rote added that since some SCC contracts have been renegotiated, the SCC will be receiving about $10,(X)0 more next semester, so the $12,000 in lost parking ticket money will set the overall SCC budget back by about $2000. "Our overall budget is going to drop $2,000. Athletics wants a $4,000 increase. If we gave them it, we'd have to subtract $6,0(X)fromsomewhere else," said Rote. When the SCC cuts out groups that are activities, the University will have to become the provider for activities, said Rote. Phelps suggested a possible solution for the SCC's probable future financial difficulties. "The student activity fee does not have to stay fixed. If more money is needed to fund student activities, it seems to me a reasonable way to look at it [raising the student activity fee]," said Phelps. Rote said that he understands the University's position that the money is legally theirs, but that he is "dismayed" at the prospect of not being able to fund growing groups and organizations. "It's very easy to jusUfy asking for money. All our groups who want money fi-om us can justify every penny of it. But if we don't got it. we can't give it," said Rote. The amount of fines collected changes from year to year, and a specific amount for parking can't be written into the University's budget Assistant to the Vice-President for Administration Robert Lynch said, "The $12,0(X) we talk about now doesn't mean it will be $12,000 next year. The University would never budget $12,000 for parking because next year it may only be $6,000." Phelps added,"It is our intent to use the funds to enhance the parking operation. If that means paying the rental on additional parking, or better signs, or development of more parking facilities, that is a reasonable way to enhance the parking situation." Students, faculty to participate in library survey By Guy Tanner StaffReporter Questionnaires asking students and faculty for information concerning Stevenson Library will be mailed this week. The information from the questionnaires will assist the Middle States Accreditation Evaluation Association in determining the acceptance of LHU's academic programs and degrees. The survey is being done by the Library & Library Resources Middle States Subcommittee, which is composed of faculty members Dr. Esther Jane Carrier, subcommittee chairperson; Judith A. Sorg, recreation instructor; and Donald Taylor, associate professor. Also on the subcommittee are Bruce Thomas, head librarian for reader services; Franklin Vaughn, associate professor; Leo Ritter, electronic system technician for the television service department; Dr. Mary Pursell, professor of biological sciences; and student member Eric Peters. "If a college or university loses accreditation, the degrees from that school aren't worth as much," said Carrier. "The deciding factor in assessing the effectiveness of any institution is evidence of the extent to which it achieves the goals it has set for itself." Carrier said that the survey is significant, and she hopes that most students will complete and return the questionnaire. "We want the students to be aware that this is a major undertaking done every ten years, and each one will have an opportunity to be a part of it," said Carrier. She also said that the results of the surveys are used for long-term goals of the University. "The results will affect the future plans and activities of the University and help determine the direct future development of the University," said Carrier. The survey is being mailed to all students in order to have meaningful samples of all majors and classifications of students. Thomas said that the questions were developed to give an indication of what people think they're getting from the library and how adequate students think the collections, services, and hours are. He also said that it is most important that the students take all of ten minutes to complete and return the form. Ritter said that they also want input on the TV services to determine if the students feel the services are good, bad, or inadequate. 2 Eagle Eye Lock Haven University, Friday, March 25,1988 Announcements Opinion Corner News Editor offers suggestion for LHU student participation Michael Jackson said it the best when sang "I'm looking at the man in the mirror, I'm asking him to change his ways; no message can be any clearer, if you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change!" What makes those words so relevant and significant? What strikes an emotional chord in most people to believe him for at least those few minutes? Well, aside from the variety of images in the video, I think that Jackson is saying that making even the littlest change in our daily lives is going to make a difference. Well, for me, that means helping out wherever I can. Specifically, I can do two things that let my voice and opinions be heard from the highest mountain; completing a survey for the committee that will review how well or poorly LHU stands up as a university and voting in the SCC executive committee elections on April 12. It's time to remember tfiat all the complaining about our University and where our $60 is going means that now is the time for you, the student, to do your part for LHU. Take the time to answer the survey, because the accreditation committee reviews LHU every ten years, so that means that 1988-89's input will be the general direction that this institution follows for the next isn years. Also, the elections for the SCC's Executive Committee are important because it's your turn to directly vote for the candidate who you think will serve you best. (I do not expect that the winners will please everyone but if only 20% of the student population votes, then the majority of the 20% will have their choice. However, if over 80% of the students vote, then over 80% of the students will have their choice. Get the idea?!) While I have a minute, I think that it's a good time to recognize the fact that since last year, the time between the due date for the election petitions and election day has increased from last year's 91 hours to one week. ( I also agree with former Eagle Eye Editor-in-Chief Chris Fischer when he said that "What ever happened to the great political speeches, debates, and lapel buttons? Hopefully in the future, the wise SCC will find it fit to let there be more time for the executive campaigns, and let politics take its proper course.") Also, It's fairly easy to say that I'm busy enough with the rest of what college life has for me to do (exams, work, clubs and other duties) but it's even harder to really call yourself an active participant in college by not taking the time for these things, isn't it? I hope that more than 20% of the students agree with me because being a part of the uninvolved majority has no real advantages.

Scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the Trinity United Methodist Church in Lock Haven, the concert will feature Mark Van Valin, a bass soloist from Williamsport, and soprano soloist Jolyne A. Jeffers. The organist for the evening's concert will be C. Christian Dederer, minister of music at the Messiah Lutheran Church in South Williamsport. "It's a very exciting work and a style of music that many miss," said Muzzo. "It's an opportunity to hear something special and the story and messages involved are very pertinent to today." Renzelman said he is very excited about the concert and feels that die large choir, solo voices, Hne organ and acoustics of the church will add much to the concert "It's an event, a great work of art," said Renzelman. "It's not like watching a painting. You must immerse yourself in it." "Elijah" is based on the Biblical im)phet, Elijah, and his experiences with those who didn't believe in his God. It has been viewed as the chief work of Mendelssohn and authorities such as Sir George Grove and Alfred Einstein have considered it to be the greatest oratorio of the nineteenth century. Renzleman added that the oratorio is relevent to today's world. "Our leaders really suffer and struggle to make life better and overcome whims and prejudices," said Renzelman. "Elijah had to deal with the same problems."

Smeal Stc^Reporter Stc^Reporter A vehicle jumped the curve by the University marker damaging shrubbery, according to Law Enforcement Officer Lt. Dennis Grenninger. "The individual involved in the accident was given a field sobriety test which indicated alcohol intake," said Grenninger. The driver was then cited for driving under the influence and taken to the Lock Haven Hospital for further testing. Currently under investigation are complaints of harassing phcHie calls. "It's now the time of the year when phone calls such as this are reported quite often," said Grenninger. "If an individual receives a phone call such as this it should be reported immediately to Campus Police." A student posessing a case of beer was caught on campus Friday, March 18 by a resident hall counselor. The individual was turned over to campus police and cited for possesion of alcohol by minors. A case of criminal mischeif is currently under investigation. According to Director of Law Enforcement Richard Hepner, a fire extinguisher was taken from Woolridge Hall and discharged. "The individuals responsible will be cited in the very near future," said Grenninger. Two visitors were asked to leave a resident hall for being boisterous on the evening of March 18. "These persons were warned not to return to this University. In the event that they do, these individuals would be cited for criminal trespass," said Hepner. Grenninger said that these persons were also informed of the failure to follow the proper sign in procedure in the resident hall. In other criminal mishaps, a men's 12 speed bike was taken from the Woolridge patio. The bike was reported as blue, with a silver seat and white t^)e around the grips. Anyone with information leading to the return of this bike is urged to contact Law Enforcement A hit and run in parking area 8 was reported on Monday, March 21. "The owno- involved failed to report the accident," said Grenninger. "In this particular situation, the incident will be handled between the two parties involved." Grenninger added that in a case such as this the vehichle should remain where it was struck and not moved. This will allow campus police time to arrive at the scene and be more precise with the investigation. He also said that all accidents should be reported immediately and not several days later. "Since nice weather is approaching and many students and pedestrians will be walking, jogging and biking, drivers should excercise extra precautionary measures," said Hepner. Hepner added that because of the arrival of warmer weather, students have the tendency to leave their windows and doors open. "Caution has to be considered when doing this since thefts can easily occur," said Hepner. 4 Eagle Eye Lock Haven University, Friday, March 25,1988 FEATUMES EEATUMES FEATUEES FEATUEES FEATUKES On the lighter side...

Fraternity plans free food^ action for 24-hour volleyball marathon By Bill Hunter StaffReporter Imagine a party that lasts 24 hours, includes free subs, and provides all the volleyball action you could possibly handle. The Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity is sponsoring the eighth annual 24-hour volleyball marathon to be held from Fri., April 8 at 6 p.m. until 6 p.m. Sat, April 9. "Last year's marathon was a big success," said Lambda Chi Alpha Public Relations Director Jim LaPiana. "This year should be no different. Competition will be tough on all levels." The event raised nearly $800 last year for the Lock Haven Women's Center. All proceeds for the upcoming marathon will be donated this year to the Lock Haven Day Care Center. Anyone interested can sign up their team in Bentley Cafeteria Lobby from 11 a.m.-l p.m. and 4:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. weekdays, or between 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on weekends. Each team must consist of eight players and is required to raise $100 in donations in order to enter. All participants will receive a complimentary shirt. There will also be trophies issued to the first place winner, the individual who raises the most donations, and the team that raises the most donations. "We're hoping for a great turnout," said LaPiana. "The more teams we get, the more we raise for charity, and the more fun we have." I stood alone in the middle of a mannequin masquerade...the smell of new leather floated around the stoned faces with their silent glares. Where are they when you need them...any other time the entire sales department would've been breathing down my neck. In two-seconds I feared I was going to break down and scream, "HELP-1 WANT A CLERK NOW. I DON"T WANT TO BROWSE." At which point I would collapse and fall to the mercy of shopping hysteria. Fortunately, I bumped into a slightly interested saleswoman who was stocking "Big Mamma" panty hose. "Honey, you don't want these...your size is over there." At least she was talking to me. "Well, actually I'd really like a littie bit of help selecting an outfit. I have an important job interview, and I'd like to look professional while not overdoing it, you know? This was really asking a lot since I basically live in running sweats. Walking through her palace, this efficient fashion queen started to be really conversational. "Well, what you need is something versatile...this should be perfect, yes this is definitely it." "Um.." I racked my brain for a way to gently lay it on her without losing her help. "Well, you know black really isn't me at all." "Honey...black is the key. This outfit is dramatic, yet it's subtie. It's professional, yet it leads a person to wonder. Black is YOU." I tried to cut in, "1 really like soft colors, maybe a pale yellow? Black isn't, well. you know it really reminds me of funerals or alluring moments..." "Honey, honey. The first thing you've got to learn is they aren't looking at you...they're looking at your aura, the image you project," she said sliding die sheer fabric right over my head. "Look at that, my what a simple dress can do!" She looked so smugly satisfied I wanted to kick her. She must have read my mind. "Shoes...come along." The next thing I knew I had a pair of "sensible, yet pretty liule flats" stuck on my feet "Honey, honey, we've got to get you to the accessory department pronto!" "Accessories, accessories. Accessories can make the outfit," she said as she threw a scarf around my neck, pushed a bracelet on my wrist, and slung a handbag over my shoulder. I had to admit, the reflection in the mirror was one of competent style, but somehow I felt 1 could piece together something more natural and positive. As I drifted through the cosmetic department listening to the nasal fashion queen, I thought, "what Uie heck, I might as well enjoy myself, you only live once." Under helpful assistance, I was able to decode my color scheme and presto! the rest was cake. For the life of me, I can't believe I made it this far along in life without knowing I am primarily a skin tone 2 with rose and natural undertones. I must have squirted 30 different perfumes, tried just as many lipsticks and twice as many eyeliners before 1 looked-up and said, "You know, I think 1 ought to browse around a bit ma'm." On the lighter side, 1 not only felt confident, but professional as 1 breezed through the store in my Levi's knowing exactly what to avoid.

Baranik was selected for the temporary position from a poll of a previous search for a hall director and was invited to fill die position, according to Assistant Dean of Students Tim Susick. Susick said that Baranik's master's degree from Shippensburg in counseling and student personnel fills one of the requirements for a hall director position. "He also has experience at Vanderbuilt University, Tennessee where he coordinated two high-rise buildings which housed approximately 1000 students," said Susick. Baranik also has other qualifications which, according to Susick, make him an excellent choice for the position. "Dan has been involved with the University in odier capacities, and we have found him to be a very warm, genuine person who works well with students and is in tune with students needs," said Susick. Susick said, "Wb hope Dan does apply for the permanent position. He would be an asset to die staff." Baranik, who is a native of Altoona, Pa., said that family ties brought him to Lock Haven last semester, and during that time period he served as the assistant football coach for the University. I St(rff Reporter a; CO When the hall director position opened for Smitii/Woolridge, Baranik was ready to fill it due to his prior experience. "I like to be viewed as a person of different hats," said Baranik as he discussed his coaching and hall Aaecxxx positions. "It gives me the opportunity to see people mature in different ways." For the future of Smith/Woolridge, Baranik predicts more programming and a lot of unity between the two halls. Amy Gould, head resident assistant of Smith/Wooh-idge, said that Baranik has "a special sense of enthusiasm about him diat motivates the entire staff." "He's a plus for us, and we're lucky to have someone of his experience," said Gould. According to Smith Hall Resident Assistant Alex Sansosti, Baranik is "basically an outgoing person who wants to give it his best shot in the residence halls." Ann Mullin, a Woolridge resident assistant, said that Baranik has a lot of good ideas for the two halls and that "things are going to start livening up in the halls of Smith and Wookidge." Meet the World: Marriage can cause bankruptcy [By Mbobi E. Kiloson CO Dan Baranik is the new hall director for Smith and Woolridge Halls. Last fall, he worked as an assistant football coach. In the more than 215 tribes in Cameroon, marriages are conducted in many different ways. As a Cameroonian young man, it is an expensive venture to get married. These traditional ceremonies have put a lot of strain on many people's finances, but the young men have accepted it as a necessary burden. It is necessary because a working man in his mid-twenties who is unmarried is regarded as being irresponsible by society. Meeting and dating a girl is simple because there are multiple social activities that bring young people together including schools, colleges and universities. The problem crops up when two young lovers are engaged. When the information reaches the parents of the newly engaged, investigation begins. The investigation is simply to prove that the young engaged people made a good choice, and that after they are married there will be no room for divorce. There are many things that the parents take into consideration, but the principal thing looked for in the girl is good behavior. She must be well mannered. Secondly, the tribe where the girl comes from plays a major role. Finally, the family of the girl is very important too. If for any reason it is discovered during the investigation that the girl's family or tribe is actively or has been involved in witchcraft, this could serve as grounds for disapproval. If the girl comes from a tribe where girls are noted for promiscuous behavior, the marriage will not be approved. There are two principal marriage ceremonies that take place: the traditional marriage and die church wedding—each independent of the odier. Each of these marriages is expensive, but the traditional wedding is much more expensive. The traditional marriage is expensive because a dowry is paid and in most cases there is no limit to the amount paid. The amount paid may range from cash to goods and services, depending on the family of the girl. This dowry is not negotiable. In some tribes, the groom's family keeps bringing the goods until the bride's family tells them to stop. Unfortunately, no bride's family can ask a hold on the dowry. The amount of money, goods and services intensifies when the girl is beautiful and has attained education above high school. It is a draining situation for the groom and his family, but the groom has to marry because of society's pressure of being "irresponsible." Church marriages are short and precise and conducted in the same fashion as western marriages are. After the wedding dust settles, friends keep pouring in for one or two months after the wedding. Many people have gone virtually bankrupt because of these kind of elaborate weddings. Attempts to discourage these expensive dowries have failed because some girls still support the payment of dowries and insist that it makes their husbands respect them. However, as expensive as it may seem, I think it is worth its while because divorces are infrequent 6 Eagle Eye Lock Haven University, Friday, March 25,1988 SPOMTS SPOMTS SPOMTS SPOETS SPCDKTS SPOETS SPOETS Firth and Stephens lead women's lacrosse team into 1988 season Maryellen Jaskuta Sports Reporter WiUi the spring season coming at hand, the lacrosse team is ready to take the field. First year Head Coach Bridget Roun will take the Lady Eagles to Delaware this weekend to compete in the Sanford College Tournament The Lady Eagles will compete in a round robin tournament, but their first opponent won't be known until this weekend. Fifteen teams will be competing in the event including Georgetown, the United States Military Academy, Bloomsburg and some club teams. "I'm very excited to get the season going," said Roun. WiUi an overall record of 5-9 last year, Roun, along with student assistant Susan Baird, is looking for a change in attitude from die girls. Roun feels that the team had a defeatist attitude last year. "Once we realize things can change and that we can do it, the belief will take over," Roun said. "Whether we win or lose, we want to go down fighting and know we did." This season's squad boasts a high skill level spread throughout the team. "We can match up very well man for man," said Roun. "We have a lot of talent and I don't have one person I'm going to key on," said Roun. "Everyone will contribute." Roun will be relying heavily on the seniors.

"I just Uiink they saw something they didn't like. Maybe he wasn't active enough in the ring." Overall, Cox was very pleased with the Bald Eagle's performance. "I diought every guy boxed to the best of his potential," said Cox. "All seven boxers are at their peak." After a week off, the national qualifiers will be back in training to prepare the national tournament at the Virginia Military Institute on April 15-16. "I think all five boxers have a shot at winning the national title, but Klein, Salluzzo, and Dooris have the best chances," said Cox.

Coach Allison said he was surprised by the score of the second game. "You never expect to blow Shippensburg out. Their regular pitcher had an injury and we just jumped all over their other pitcher. That was pretty much the ball game," said Allison. "Our immediate goal is to get ranked in the Top 20," said Allison. "Shippensburg was in the Top 20 and we felt that if we swept both West Chester and Shippensburg, we thought we might make the Top 20. I don't know if we will or won't, but the wins won't hurt us." "Our goal was to sweep Shippensburg. I would have been happy with a split also, but after the first game I told diem a split would have lessened the significance of die first game. I was tickled diat we swept them," he said. One problem Allison saw was the base running of the team. "In die first game we committed suicide on the bases," he said. "We really didn't run well and I think that's my fault because we really haven't worked on the base running. The girls didn't know how to react to it, there were situations that they haven't practiced, and they reacted wrong." In their first regular season game, the Lady Eagles swept a doubleheader from West Chester University, 7-0 and 7-2. The first game saw all seven LHU runs come in the second inning. Three of the runs came off the bat of Lori DiVecchio as she belted a three-run homer. Kathy Wambold drove in two more runs with a two-run home run. Sandy Hess and Gretchen Caton combined for a two-hitter to preserve the victory. In the second game, the Lady Eagles produced a twelve-hit attack led by Vicki DiVittorio who went 3 for 5 widi a double, two singles and two RBI's. Lisa Kostantewicz went 2 for 4 with two singles and Amie Zimmerman was 2 for 4 with two singles also. Shawna Kohler went the distance, allowing five hits in the victory. The Lady Eagles next game is next Saturday versus East Stroudsburg here at the Haven. "They're a really tough, young team and they give us fits each time we play them. I never expect an easy game from them, but I think we probably should win." LHU stands to be proud of Bald Eagle wrestling season finish By Rob Yoegel and Joe Jones Sports Columnists Last weekend, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, otherwise known as the NCAA, held some championships. Yes, everyone knows about the basketball tournament that is going on. But, the one that was big for Lock Haven was the one that we participated in, that is the wrestling championships in Ames, Iowa. The Haven placed 12th, the highest in two decades, but moreover two Bald Eagle grapplers won All-American status and three others represented our University proudly. Craig Corbin, a junior 118 pounder, took fourth place and earned All-American status at the tourney but still wasn't completely pleased with his finish. "I feel good with the way I finished the season, but I'm not satisfied, I would have liked-to have won the tournament," he said. Corbin, who had wresUed in the limelight of All-American Brad Lloyd and EWL champion Jody Karam all season, has never worried about getting the big press coverage, even though he deserves it "No, I don't get into the press attention. Brad and Jody had good years and they deserve the attention they get" said Corbin. The team had a more than successful season and Corbin thought it could have even been better. "The team did really well this year, we lost two matches at the Virginia Duals when we weren't even at full strength, but overall it went real well," he said. The team was full of talent this year and Corbin thinks they'll look pretty good next year as well. "Next year the team will do really well because we'll have a lot of returners," said Corbin. As for next year, Corbin knows he has a lot of work ahead of him. "I'm going to work real hard for next year because I don't want to fall, I want to win die National Championship, and I diink I will." As great as a season Corbin had. Brad Lloyd at 177 came back after red shirting last year and once again proved himself. Lloyd, who lost just two matches this 2 •a. C4 All-American Craig Corbin was one of the many Bald Eagle grapplers who enjoyed afineseason this year. year, wanted to win it all, but fell just short in die semifinals one week ago. Bill Freeman may not have been crowned an All-American, but he made LHU more than proud when he beat the defending National Champion at 190, Eric Voelker. Finally, EWL champ Jody Karam, and another grappler, Jeff Husick lost after second and firstroundmatches, but without having outstanding seasons could have never gotten to Iowa. The wrestling season came to an end last weekend, but the reign of champions and also of some outstanding wrestlers that call Lock Haven University dieir home will go on until next winter and probably even longer. 8 Eagle Eye Lock Haven University, Friday, March 25, 1988 CLEP tests "can save time, money" By Cathy Moore Stc^Reporter Students may earn college credit for a course instead of enrolling in the class by taking the next College Level Examinations Program (CLEP) test which is scheduled for Thurs., April 14. Dr. Don Crews, the director of counseling and test student services, said that the test will be given in Ulmer Planetarium at 6:30 p.m. and that there are 40 different tests available for students to take. A fee of $35 is charged for each examination. According to Crews, a test outweighs the WMMMl^ fee you would pay for a class taken during the semester. "It's a hidden form of financial aid," said Crews. Crews said that his office, which is located in the bottom of Smith Hall, provides consultation for students in all CLEP related problems. CLEP tests, said Crews, are given every third Thursday of the month, except for August December, January and February. "Very few students take the CLEP tests because they are unaware that the CLEP program is available at Lock Haven University," said Crews. Crews said that most students who do take CLEP tests already have a wide background on the subject and feel that taking the CLEP will save diem time and money. Crews' responsibilities for the CLEP tests include promoting diem, coordinating them, and making faculty aware of any changes in the CLEP program. Help us help others!
