[LD^sta CfQA^aj^ QjMa^Eia^airLf Parsons Union Building Lock Haven University Lock Haven, Pennsylvania 17745 Latin American ambassadors highlight festive weekend By Kim Madgiak The Fifth Annual International Festival held here this past weekend consisted of a Variety Show, two panel discussions with visiting ambassadors and representatives from Latin America, and dinner. The highlights of the Festival were two panel discussions on Saturday. The first topic was "Latin America - On the Way to Democracy." Associate professor NeLson DeLevan of the history department here, opened the session by introducing the panel members and thanking the administration and the International Association of Students (I.S.A.) here for making the talk possible. He then remarked on the students attendance by saying, "It shows the U.S. will do everything possible to help Latin America, except learn about the countries there." Hernan Hurdato, Ambassador to the Organization of American States (O.A.S.) from Guatemala, simply stated that his country was returning to a civilian democratic government. Political Affairs Officer Dr. Leonardo Ruilova of the Embassy of Ecuador, mentioned that he felt democracy was a reality. He added that democracy had to be worked on since it is the sum of a large dimension, and not merely a name. His government has been democratic since 1980, but until that time was run by dictatorships. Dr. Fernando Zumbato, Costa Rica's Ambassador to the U.S., arrived in Lock Haven after watching Congress work in the nation's capital this past week. He stated that America has a true democracy, but reminded everyone that diplomats and people shouldn't trust other diplomats too much. Zumbato stated that, "After all, Christopher Columbus was the first actual diplomat. Columbus wasn't sure where he was going, didn't know where he was once he arrived, and used the government's money to get there" The Costa Rican government is the oldest uninterrupted democracy in Latin America, existing since 1948. The country, unlike America, has been poor since its beginning, but has the same values such as freedom of the press and respect for human rights, Zumbato added. Professor Roland Visconti, Uruguay's Representative to the O.A.S., commented, "For almost 13 years my country, along with Argentina and Chile, have been Latin America's bad boys." This was because in 1967 a leftist group terrorized Uruguay, and then a military junta ruled until 1984 when free elections occurred. A democratic government has been in the works in Uruguay since then, Visconti added. Professor Dane Bowen, of LHU's History and Economics department, compared a diplomat to a lady, quoting, " T o a diplomat, yes means maybe, maybe means no, and no means he's no diplomat. When a lady says no she means no, maybe means probably not, and yes means she's no lady." He concluded by pointing out that a democracy is not easy to establish, and a strong military is usually required. Latin America, however, spends the smallest amount of money of the seven continents on its military budget. The panel group reconvened in the afternoon to discuss, "Internal American S y s t e m s . " Senior Pablo Maurvicio Alvergue, El Salvador's Ambassador to the U.S., spoke at this session, along with the morning's panel. He summed up the panel's views on the new topic by stating, "The U.S. is like an elephant. The animal could crush something in its sleep and never know it. The U.S., simply by cutting some imports, could crush Latin American coun- Associate professor of history Nelson DeLevan (left) makes an opening comment as the mediator of this weekend's International panel discussions.

Eagle Eye nabs national press association award The Eagle Eye has recently been declared a "First Place" award winner by The American Scholastic Press Association in its annual review of scholastic newspapers and other publications. In racking up 870 out of a grand total of 1000 points, the Eagle Eye was referred to as being " a n excellent collegiate newspaper" by one judge. The Eagle Eye received a perfect score in the editing category of the competition. Perfect scores were also recorded in the areas of features, layout design, and overall visual appeal. Dave Prusak, co-editor of the Eagle Eye, said, "1 first heard the news about us taking first prize from our ecstatic adviser, Dr. Douglas Campbell. I don't know who's more pleased with the award. Dr. Campbell or myself." Prusak said, "We have a limited staff, but we try our best to inform the students Skinmen are set for coffeehouse By Dave Prusak The Skinmen, featuring Mike Stephani and Mike Maggs on guitars and vocals, will perform in the first and last coffeehouse of the semester tomorrow night from 8 p.m. till 10 p.m. in the PUB's snackbar. The Skinmen, who have been popular at the Brickhouse Bar in State College, will play tunes by Neil Young, John Lennon, and REO Speedwagon, in addition to some original music. Mike Stephani, to be featured on electric performance guitar, said, "To the females of the student body, we would hope that you would show up if you want to see some Skin. After all, the event is being paid for through your activity fee." This SCC sponsored coffeehouse will be the last of the semester. Don't miss your chance to see two Mikes on mikes performing some very popular music with the accompaniment of guitars. on this campus about as much as possible. The newspaper staff here may be limited, but it is without a doubt one of the most dedicated groups of people I've ever worked with." Prusak added, "Everyone associated with the Eagle Eye deserves a pat on the back. With more of this same dedication, the Eagle Eye will be sure to win many more awards in the future." c o f f e e h o u s e Bloodmobile goal of 300 pints is not quite reached By Sherri Wray Blood was given by 247 people at the Red Cross Bloodmobile held in Woolridge Hall Lounge last Thursday. Mrs. Janet Thorton said,"It is not as much blood as we wanted. Our goal was 300 pints of blood." Thorton also said that the Red Cross usually does not get as much blood on the April visit as it does in the fall. Before giving blood, each student's hemoglobin is tested for iron content, asked many health questions, and then their blood pressure, pulse, and temperature are taken. After the student has given blood, snacks such as hot dogs, cookies and juice were made available. ^ • lAUlt £J1 O Ta«i4ay. flpril 30, 1 9 i S Despite criticism, Eagle Eye soars In recent weeks the Eagle Eye has been attacked by members of the student body for a number of reasons. Letters were written to the editors referring to the paper as irresponsible and a rag. The Student Cooperative Council (SCC) even threatened to cease funding the paper. Well, for those individuals who have expressed dissatisfaction with our production (and we don't have to mention any names - you know who you are) we have a small bit of news for you. The American Scholastic Press Association awarded the Eagle Eye first place in a competition among student newspapers across the country. For schools enrolling 1,700 to 2,500 students, Lock Haven's newspaper was ranked the best. It is not my intention to boast our accomplishment to the point of bragging. There are just a few people out there who deserve personal notification of our achievement. The Eagle Eye indeed suffers from a lack of participation. A small staff spends countless hours preparing the paper for the students. For such a small group to achieve an award of this magnitude is a wonder. Each individual involved deserves a pat on the back. Please do not misinterpret this pride as an inference to contentment. This is, I hope, just the beginning of a journalistic tradition here at Lock Haven. Our aim is to provide a paper which the students can enjoy, and of which they can be prouAiWe will continue our effort to improve. Several weeks back we received a letter from a student who claimed he had enough journalistic awards to fill our office walls. Well, we appreciate his concern, but we really don't need his awards. This prizewinning newspaperis busy putting awards on walls which that personwill never see. ,^ , Kevin Dn April 19, a party was held at the White House, 501 W.

Dear Editor: There are two c a m p u s organizations which are deserving a lot of praise after what they managed t o pull off this weekend. The first of these is the M o d e r n Dance Club, which held two performances in Sloan Theatre. I offer my highest regards to this group of extremely talented dancers for their excellent performance. T h e individual dances were all well choreographed, and it was apparent that many hours of hard work and practice had gone into the show. This group of dancers was easily deserving of their standing ovation a h u n dred times over. 1 was glad to see the large student turn-out at the show, as I am sure it proved to be a stimulating and exciting show for everyone. T h e second g r o u p I must congratulate is the International Students Association for their variety show, banquet, a n d panel discussions. T h e organizers of the event pulled off near miracles by managing to get the quality diplomats they did to our small university; 1 would have expected to see panel discussions of this caliber only at universities many times larger than o u r own. The only disappointing aspect of the festival was the attendance - or in this case, the lack of attendance. It is unfortunate that more students did not exert the minor effort required to get involved and attend the show and dicussion. I am confident though, that those w h o did attend learned a great deal from the experience about o u r Latin American neighbors. The International S t u d e n t s A s s o c i a t i o n did a remarkable j o b , and I hope all their festivals in the future can be of the same quality as this o n e . Sincerely, Timothy W .

After all our efforts, to see that a mere handful of people attended any of the feartured activities held here is a disappointment hard to express. T h e highlight of this year's festival was the panel discussion held on Saturday in two sessions. For the first time a group of diplomats came t o Lock Haven to discuss highly pertinent issues in the world today. So important that they are covered almost on a daily basis by ail of this nation's newspapers, without exception. Any of the few people who went to the panel discussion could see that fact. The highest representative of El Salvador wsis there. Issues like Nicaraguan policies, contras. President Reagan's foreign policies were discussed. W h a t more could be mentioned here t o show the importance of this event? All of the gentlemen who were present are top men in their careers, who kindly accepted to c o m e here and disclose first hand information concerning their countries to everyone. Illustrious doctors who did not even mention the customary honorarium paid to speakers of their caliber; who changed their schedules to attend; some of whom even had t o drive here. And to illustrate these m e n ' s importance maybe we should mention that all of them are personal acquaintances of top officials in the United States government and confer with them frequently about the same subjects they came t o discuss here. A n d to such an important event this university's main officials, with the exception of M r . George Marshall, did not attend. Not even one-hundredth of the student body was present. T h e vast majority of students with their majors in government and economics, in area studies, who should be directly interested in the event did not show u p . Not even taking into consideration the fact that these visitors are a m o n g the best qualified in this country on those issues. But what is even harder t o comprehend, much harder than the student response, is the fact that the people responsible for the intellectual aspect of a university, the faculty members, most of them, completely ignored this highly important discussion. We assume that some could not attend but it is inconceivable for a person with the minimum o f c o m m o n sense that a teacher who specializes in areas such as economics, history, political science a n d / o r government would want t o d o anything else than to attend a discussion that is of key relevance t o the field of study he or she chose as his o r her career. A career that includes the responsibility of educating other people. Before closing this first letter we would like to thank the ones who did attend the events and w h o , we are sure, profitted from that. A n d t o recognize the people w h o gave us support, a m o n g w h o m Mr. George Marshall, vice-president for administration; Mr. A n t h o n y Torsell, and for the I.S.A. students and others w h o worked for it. A n d for the record, our great thanks and warmest feelings of esteem to those diplomats w h o so kindly honored us with their presence. Sincerely, Juan Manuel SoaJe, I.S.A.

Bloomsburg came out swinging in the opener to down the Eagle batters 13-4. Head coach Gary Bartley and his boys hung tough and pulled out a 10-9 win in the nightcap. In game one, senior two-time allconference centerfielder Tom Reichenbach boosted his batting average up to .373 with a three-for-four performance. Freshman Grant Myers also had a hot bat by going two-for-four with two triples and one RBI. Batting leader Toby Capparelle banged out two hits to up his average to an impressive .429. The nightcap game was packed with excitement as the Eagles pulled out a victory Bald Eagle Toby Capparelle went threefor-four in the team's 10-9 triumph over Bloom. Capparelle is batting .429. with a four run rally in the sixth and a game winning RBI by first baseman Jim Gardner in the seventh. The Huskies jumped to an early 1-0 lead, but the Eagles wouldn't die. By the fourth inning, LHU had a 4-1 lead. Bloom tied it in the fifth at four apiece. After five, the score remained knotted but this time at eight. The Huskies took a 9-8 lead in the top of the final frame, but a two run Eagle seventh muzzled the Huskie's attack. Freshman Pat Stasio brought his batting average to .303 with a three-for-three day; Stasio also scored three times. Gardner went three-for-three with two RBI's, and Capparelle went three-for-four with two RBI's and two doubles. Bartley said, "The team is predictably unpredictable. We refuse to give up. I'm pleased to see that we still have a pretty good competitive spirit." Division champ Eagles prep for playoffs By Scott Crispell The Lady Eagle softball team, which is the PSAC Western Division champion, split a twinbili with Millersville University, last night at Lawrence Field. Lock Haven finished in a tie for first with Edinboro at 8-2, but won the crown when Edinboro elected to forfeit the playoff game which was scheduled for Thursday. In the opener against Millersville, LHU scored two runs in the fifth and two more in the sixth to down the Fighting Scots, 4-0. Amy Stoudt and Sandy Staib each cracked run scoring singles in the fourth to lead the Lady Eagles to victory. Staib went the distance to pick up the win. In the nightcap. Lock Haven scored three runs in the top of the first, but came out on the short end of a 4-3 score. Wendy Heiges led off the first with a single and was sacrificed to second by Staib. Kathy Kreisher and Tina Martin hit consecutive doubles. Bert Rothen ended the scoring with a single. Dawn Schnitzer suffered her second loss of the season as she gave up a solo homer in the bottom of (he seventh. The Lady Eagles travelled to Edinboro Saturday and came out with a split and a tie for the division lead. In the opener. Lock Haven scored one in the top of the first on an RBI-single by Tina Martin which scored Sandy Staib. In the LHU third, Rothen and Heiges each reached base on singles. Kreisher and Martin each hit a sacrifice fly to give LHU a 3-0 lead. Kreisher gave the Lady Eagles an insurance run when she singled in Rothen in the fifth. Sandy Staib pitched a shutout and picked up the victory. LHU fell behind 3-0 in the opener and wound up losing, 3-2. The only offense the Lady Eagles could muster was an RBI-triple by Martin in the fourth inning. Martin then scored on a passed ball to make the score, 3-2. Coach Wayne Allison wasn't satisfied with the splits. He said, "We should be winning these second games. All year long, it seems like we relax after the first game. We also had some errors and you can't make errors and ex[>ect to win. It seems like everyone is waiting for someone else to perform the heroics. Lately, no one has come through for us." The Lady Eagles will journey back to Berwick Friday and Saturday to participate in the PSAC Tournament. LHU, the number-one seed from the western division will meet Shippensburg, the number-two seed from the eastern division at 1 p.m. on Friday. Edinboro, the number-two seed from the western division, will meet number-one seeded east division foe, Bloomsburg at 3 p.m. on Friday. The winners of these two contests will meet in the PSAC Championship softball game on Saturday. The losers will meet in an elimination game on the same day. The first place from the double elimination tourney will qualify for the Division II National Tournament. (^^QINAL Pitcher Sandy Staib continues to pace the Lady Eagles softballers. Staib pitched the team to victory in a doubleheader opener yesterday, and will be relied upon in the upcoming playoffs. l A f l J J £J1 D | j Men, Women Thinclads perform By Gerard Snyder Deanna Hoffer leaped to first place finishes in the triple jump and long jump events to lead the Lock Haven Tracksters in the Indiana University of Pa. Track and Field Invitational held Saturday. Hoffer skipped to a combined distance of 35 feet 10 inches in the triple jump while also reaching a tournament best of 16 feet 9 inches in the long jump for her gold. Following Hoffer was hurdler Sandy Adams, who sparkled in the 400-meter event for another first place finish against competitors from California University of Pa., West Virginia State, West Virginia Welseyan, Carnegie Mellon, Malone College, and I UP. Adams captured a second place finish in the 100-meter hurdles along with Niecy Houston, who powered her way to second place finishes in both the shot put and discus events. Todd Hyman led the men with a silver medal in the 110-meter hurdles, a bronze in the 100-meter sprint and 4th in the 400-hurdles. While Hyman was running hard, Dan Moffet was hurling the shot and discus hard and far for third place finishes in both events. Greg McGowan scooted his way to a third in the 10,000-meter race. Coach Mike McCready said, " I think the team did well. We took everyone along who could go and have started to come along. We have qualified eight women and twelve men for PSAC's in East Stroudsburg." Rounding out the events, Andy Shearer captured third in the steeple chase for the men, while the team of Adams, Sherry Groft, Karen Howeter, and Tina Gabert combined for a third in the 4 x 100 meter relays for the women. Adams, Groft, Howeter, and Lisa Dipiero ran the 4 x 400 meter relay for a third as well. Gabert placed third in the 400 meter sprint. McCready reminded all students to come out on Saturday May 4th for the Lock Haven Invitational. Any student may compete against teams from lUP, Clarion, and California University of Pa. It is an excellent opportunity for all runners to show their skills in a competitive collegiate atmosphere.

Dr. Betty Wisniewski, Professor of Speech here conducted Cook's campus interview. Cook is currently Professor of Math at Idaho State University, in addition to having served as associate dean and acting dean of the institution in the past. Cook graduated from both South Missouri State University and Oklahoma State University, respectively. Cook listed the activities he feels are important for a dean. Overseeing major func- tions of the university is the one that stands foremost in his mind. Next, is insuring that the level of classroom instruction is the highest possible. A final duty he stated as being important is controlling the budget after checking the curriculum and consulting with faculty. Cook added that he feels he listens better than he speaks. C o o k ' s scientific background enables him to hear a lengthy, abstract problem, find the source of it, and state what is directly relative to the solution. Also, Dr. Richard L. Langill, Chairman of Social Sciences at Blackburn College in Illinois, was interviewed bv the search com- mittee last Friday. Dr. Howard Congdon, Professor of English and Philosophy here, and Dr. Matthew Maetozo, Dean of the College of HPER here, conducted Langill's visit to campus. Langill stated that he is a product of the east and west coasts, making it easy for him to adapt to different places. He graduated from a California University and then one in Long Beach, so relocating to here from Illinois would present no problems. After graduating from college, Langill joined the Peace Corps and served in the South Pacific. He then returned to the U.S. to earn his doctorate at the American University. Langill mentioned that he is a very selfdirected person. He is currently Chairman of the North Central Self-Study Accreditation Committee. The qualities Langill feels are necessary in a dean are the ability to interact will with faculty, and to be able to stimulate academic scholarships. He added that his personality enables him to wrestle with new ideas which are a necessity for a dean to have. The Dean Search Committee will be discussing the prospective candidates and making a decision soon. HPER professor lectures at seminar in Oregon Dr. Kenneth M. Cox, professor in the college of Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER), was featured as the guest lecturer at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, recently. In his lecture. Dr. Cox discussed "New School Reform in the U.S.S.R." at seminars held both Friday morning and afternoon.

That evening he was the guest speaker at the Pacific University "All-Sports" banquet. A nationally recognized authority on Soviet Education, Physical Education, and Sport, Dr. Cox studied in Moscow in the summer, 1983, and in Pscov and Leningrad in the summer, 1984. He is scheduled to return to the Soviet Union later this summer.
