EDINBORO UNIVERSITY vs. LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY Scots Host Bald Eagles in Homecoming Matchup The highly explosive Bald Eagle attack is averaging close to 400 yards per contest and is led by the conference's leader in total offense (287.8 YPG), quarterback Bob McLaughlin. McLaughlin, the 1992 PSAC West Rookie of the Year, enters today's game with 1,426 yards passing, hitting on 129 of 222 (.581) attempts. He has thrown for seven touchdowns and seven interceptions. McLaughlin is, however, coming off one of his toughest outings of the year, hitting on 25 of 47 passes against lUP for 202 yards and an interception. Top targets include Bryan McGinty (30 catches, 296 yards, 1 TD), Jon Spinosa (28, 311, 2 TDs), Erik Steinbacher (26, 318, 2 TDs) and Afiba Faimot (13, 72). Faimot is also the Eagles' top ground gainer (56 carries, 256 yards, 1 TD). The Game Edinboro, fresh off a dominating 28-0 win at Clarion, returns after a three game road swing to battle the Lock Haven Bald Eagles in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Divi­ sion clash. The Records The Boro has won three straight since an opening day loss to Ferris State, 23-9, piling up road victories over Elizabeth City (3427), Buffalo (28-1/0 the conference opener at Clarion to stand at 3-1. The Fighting Scots will be looking for their first home win of the season today. Lock Haven, 1-4, dropped its fourth game last weekend to #7 lUP, 52-14. The Bald Eagles opened with three straight losses, two to Division I-AA opponents James Madison (55-3) and Ten­ nessee Tech (45-14), and one to PSAC East foe Bloomsburg (3532). The Haven's one win is a 35-33 triumph over Mansfield. The Defenses Edinboro's defense was dominant against the Golden Eagles, forcing five turnovers and limiting Clarion's no-huddle offense to 221 total yards, just 64 rushing. Two-time All-American linebacker Jason Perkins continues to lead the way for the Fighting Scots, posting 47 total stops. He has consistently provided the big play, as seven of his 35 solos have been for loss. Perkins also has two interceptions, one sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a blocked extra point. Linebacker Michael Edwards is right behind Perkins on the tack­ le charts (41). Freshman Rahshahn Alston (28) rounds out the linebacking corp. Up front, tackle Rob Harmer (26, 4 for loss, 5 sacks) is com­ ing off the best performance of his career. He got to Clarion quar­ terback Craig Ray three times and recorded one other tackle for loss among his six overall stops. He is joined on the inside by preseason All-American tackle Russell Cray (28, 4 for loss, 2 sacks, 1 fumble recovery) and on the outside by ends Pat Schus­ ter (25,5 sacks) and Devas Simmons (21,1 sack). The Scot secondary continues to make the big play, as Edin­ boro ranks second in the conference in interceptions with 10 (lUP has 11). Corners will be Marty Williams (23, 2 interceptions) and David Harris (8, 2 INTs) while safeties Steve Russell (14, 2 INTs) and Mario Houston (28,1INT, 3 blocked PATs) man the last line of defense. Lock Haven has yielded an average 516.2 yards and 44.0 points per game this season. Safeties Julius Scott and Mark Har­ rington lead the team in tackles and interceptions. Scott checks in with 37 total stops and one pick, while Harrington counters with 34 jolts and three thefts. Outside linebackers Matt Heiser (28, 2 for loss) and John Kearns (27, 2 for loss) as well as comer Rich Lawrence (26, team high 4 pass break ups) and inside backer Willie Wimbush (25) are also solid. The Series What was once a very tight series has been broken open by Edinboro, as the Scots have won the last 11 games between these two schools and 12 of the last 15, to take a 21-13-1 series lead. The last Lock Haven win came in 1981. Last year, the Fighting Scots took a 20-0 halftime lead before coasting to a 38-10 win. The Coaches With the win last week at Clarion, Fighting Scot head coach Tom Hollman moved into second place on the all-time victory list at Edinboro with 40. Now in his sixth season, his 40-17-2 (.695) record is the best all-time winning percentage in school history. Overall, Hollman's slate of 64-28-3 (.689) includes a record of 24-11-1 in four seasons at Wooster College (Ohio). The Bald Eagles are led by fourth-year mentor Dennis Therrell. Therrell has a career record of 8-29-1 (.250), all with Lock Haven. The Offenses At PNC Bank, the most important measure of our performance is how we perform for you. Just ask one of our customers. PNCBANK Where Performance Counts The Scots are led by the PSAC's second-rated passer, Jody Dickerson, who will be making his 27th consecutive start today. Dickerson is coming off the best performance of his career, as the junior completed 16 of 26 passes for 269 yards and a pair of scores in the romp over Clarion. On the year, he has completed 44 of 84 passes for 737 yards, seven touchdowns and four inter­ ceptions. His quarterback efficiency rating of 144.1 is the highest of his career and ranks among the national leaders. Dickerson's main targets include split ends Marcus Griffin (11 receptions, 184 yards, 2 touchdowns) and Terry Roberts (3, 141, 2 TDs), flanker David Ashton (11, 172, 1 TD) and tight end Scott Mikowicz (10,165, ITD). The Boro ground attack is keyed by tailback tandem Corey Hill (88 attempts, 342 yards, 1 TD) and Larry Jackson (32, 143,1 TD). Hill ranks ninth among the conference rushing leaders, averaging 80.8 YPG. Jackson, meanwhile, rushed for 70 yards and a score on just 11 carries in the win over Clarion, finally showing the form that made him the 1992 PSAC West Player of the Year. Fullback Tom Tedder (15, 68, ITD) will also see time. Up front, the Scots are anchored by All-American tackle Mike Kegarise, tackle Tony Tighe, center Gordie Hitchcock, and guards Det Betti, Otha Davidson and Chadd Wallick. Special Teams/Kicking Game All-American punter Gary Lhotsky (40.1 YPP, 18 kicks) con­ tinues to produce for the Fighting Scots, along with place-kicker Scott Rupert (13-13 PAT, 2-6 FG). Lock Haven counters with Charles Traber, who handles both the punting (31.6 YPP) and kicking (7-11 PAT, 1-4 FG) chores. The Boro's Larry Jackson (4, 24.2 YPR) will be featured on kickoff returns, while the Haven turns to Keith McLaughlin (19, 21.2 YPR, 1 TD) and Tony Harrison (10, 26.8 YPR). Punts will be handled by Marcus Griffin (9.3 YPR) and Harrison (3.8 YPR), respectively. 3 Edinboro University of Pennsylvania GOOD LUCK TO THE FIGHTING SCOTS / / from the Previously named Edinboro Acade­ my, Edinboro Normal School, Edin­ boro State Teachers College, and Edinboro State College / The second normal school estab­ lished in Pennsylvania and the twelfth in the U.S. / Became Edinboro University of Pennsylvania on July 1,1983 with the formation of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education CAMPUS BOOKSTORE HISTORY my Open 8:30 a.m.-4:15 p.m., Monday thru Friday Phone (814) 732-2456 LOCATION Postcards License Plates License Plate Holders Window Decals 4 Modem library with approximately 430,000 boimd volumes and 1.2 mil­ lion microform units Men's baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, swimming, tennis, track, and wrestling / Women's basketball, cross country, softball, swimming, tennis, track, and volleyball / The Fighting Scots compete in the Pennsylvania Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Associa­ tion, Division I and II Just 15 miles south of Erie and 100 miles from Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Buffalo / Easily accessible from interstates 90 and 79 / Eight on-campus residence halls / Planetarium, modern science and robotics laboratories, solar observato­ ry, biology museum, and center for the performing arts / TV studio and radio station which reaches one-half million listeners / Reading clinic, speech and hearing clinic, math clinic, parent-child development center, and computer lab for children / Seven powerful, mini-computer sys­ tems with more than 350 micro com­ puters and 270 computer terminals / Recreational facilities, life skills cen­ ter, and nurse's station for students with disabilities / Campus is nearly 100% wheelchair accessible / Tennis courts, football stadium, weight rooms, all-weather track, and olympic-size pool with diving tank SPECIAL PROGRAMS / The nation's third largest educational program for the physically disabled including services for the hearing impaired, the visually impaired, and the learning disabled / International education program for the exchange of faculty and students / Honors program for academically gifted students / Internships and field experiences which integrate academic pursuits with on-site "real world" work situa­ tions and personal relationships.

Foster F. Diebold Go Fighting Scots! Alumni Association 6 Now in his fourteenth year as president of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, Foster F. Diebold is the fourteenth chief executive officer of the institution of higher learning that has come to acclaim in the last decade as one of Pennsylvania's and the nation's finest. He has brought a vigorous educational and moral lead­ ership, a strengthening of the spirit of commimity, a clear sense of direction and purpose, and a dimension of multicultural pluralism and diversity. Much has been accomplished during President Diebold's tenure. The University has returned to finan­ cial health. Significant facilities and grounds improvements have been achieved, with several of the historic structures on campus restored to their original splendor. Academic programs have been emphasized and improved, with more than 100 degree offerings now available. Enrollment gains have been unprecedented in both numbers and academic quality. International linkages have been established with institutions in sever­ al other countries, and Edinboro Uni­ versity's program for students with disabilities continues to garner acclaim as one of the finest among all colleges and imiversities in the Unit­ ed States. Widely recognized as a leader in education both here and abroad. President Diebold has posi­ Prior to his presidency of Edin­ boro University, President Diebold was president of the University of Alaska from 1977 to 1979. Before that, he was executive secretary to the Board of Regents and special assis­ tant to the president of the University of Alaska Statewide System. From 1969 to 1976, he was director of Development and Planning Ax. Cean College in New Jersey and a member of the graduate faculty at that institu­ tion; and from 1965 to 1969, he was assistant superintendent of the Nep­ tune Township (New Jersey) Public Schools. Recognized for his extensive experience in the field of education management. President Diebold's scholarly achievements in the disci­ pline of applied ethics in higher edu­ cation deserve special mention. The model statement he authored for the American Association of State Col­ leges and Universities, "Ethical Prac­ tices for College Presidents," was unanimously adopted by that profes­ sional organization and published as policy for the chief executives of its nearly 400 member institutions nationwide. It is the first formally adopted ethical practices and policy statement for higher education presi­ dents. For his leadership on an interna­ tional scale and for his many contri­ butions to the advancement of higher education and enrichment of an 7 emerging culture in Pakistan, Presi­ dent Diebold was decorated with prestigious gold medals from three Pakistani imiversities. The awards for educational eminence were presented during visits to the Edinboro campus by official Pakistani delegations. President Diebold was also hon­ ored by the Government of Pakistan with the awarding of the degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris causa), pre­ sented at the Government House in the City of Karachi. The ceremony was attended by the presidents of the several Pakistani universities holding linkage agreements with Edinboro University, as well as many highranking officials of the Government of Pakistan and U.S. diplomatic offi­ cials. A recently bestowed honor was President Diebold's appointment to the National Committee on U.S.China Relations, the leading national, non-partisan, public affairs organiza­ tion devoted to building constructive and durable relationships between the two countries. The appointment recognized his insight into the Chi­ nese people and his experience with the academic linkage agreement he established with Zibo College in Chi­ na's Shandong Province. Students and scholars have been at Edinboro University under terms of the formal linkage agreement since the 1986-87 academic year. A staunch advocate of a statewide system of public universi­ ties in Pennsylvania, President Diebold supported the enabling legis­ lation for the State System of Higher Education (Act 188 of 1982) and saw the State System come to existence in 1983 as a member of the transition team. He currently serves on the Sys­ tem's Executive Council of Presidents and on the boards of the Pennsylva­ nia Academy for the Profession of Teaching, the Pennsylvania State Ath­ letic Conference, and the Dixon Uni­ versity Center at Harrisburg. Athletic Director James K. McDonald Edinboro University's athletic program was placed imder the talent­ ed and aggressive leadership of Jim McDonald in July of 1981. Increased emphasis on fund raising to provide a sound scholarship foundation has become his top priority while numer­ ous changes and innovations have also keyed the Scots' athletic program under his direction. Through his efforts more than $5 million has been raised during the past twelve years. The funds generat­ ed by the energetic athletic director's efforts will be used to assist Edinboro's men and women athletes who compete in the Scots sixteen intercol­ legiate sports. In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected winning tradition in intercollegiate athletics, the former health and physical education profes­ sor has vastly expanded the Universi­ ty's summer activities. / Sixty camps were sponsored by the Fighting Scots Booster Club this past summer on the University's campus. Sox Harrison Stadium was the site for the Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers first scrimmage, an event the veteran athletic director hopes to bring back to the area each year.

His teams set 27 University records and made 19 post-season appearances while four of his players were named All-Americans. Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro, McDonald served as assis­ tant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High School in his home town of Bridge­ port, West Virginia. In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and physical education from West Virginia Wesleyan College and he also holds a master's degree in health from the University of Buffalo. Jim McDonald As an imdergraduate, he set nine school records at Wesleyan and was twice voted both AP and UPI basket­ ball All-American. In 1960, he was the second leading scorer in the Unit­ ed States, averaging slightly over 33 points a game, and led his team to the national basketball tournament in Kansas City, Missouri. He was named to the NAIA's All-Tournament Team in 1959 and 1960. In 1966, McDonald was selected Area Eight Coach of the Year by the eastern seaboard coaches and that same year was honored as one of the top ten finalists in the Coach of the Year national poll. McDonald's hon­ ors also include selection to the West Virginia All-Time College Basketball Team and membership in the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.

Hav­ ing made the NCAA II playoffs three of the past five years under head coach Tom Hollman, the Edinboro University Fight­ ing Scots have established themselves as one of the nation's top small college pro­ grams. Now may be the time to take the "other step." A playoff quarter finalist in 1990, the Scots' elite eight finish was the pinnacle of the program. But that small taste of post-season success has left the Boro anx­ ious for more. If expectations and 1993 pre-season polls are any indication, this fall may be the year of the Scots. Picked as high as #2 by Football Digest and #9 by Host Communications (NCAA), Edin­ boro has opened the eyes of pollsters with their recent success. But the Boro's pre-season marks will make the opposi­ tion even more determined, thus creating a great challenge for the 1993 Fighting Scots. Coming off their best regular season mark in 21 years, 8-1-1, the Scots, under Hollman, have won 37 of 55 (37-16-2) games including a sparkling 22-6-1 record in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Confer­ ence Western Division. When looking ahead to 1993, the schedule is what con­ cerns the sixth-year mentor the most. "The conference is the conference. There are six tough opponents, any one of which can beat you," Hollman said. "Plus this year, we've added Ferris State (MI) and Elizabeth City (NC) while Buffalo (Division I-AA) and Millersville remain from last year. There will be no easy ones, that's for sure." With ten games slated for '93, five home and five away, the challenge of the "road test" will determine the Scots' play­ off chances. Under Hollman, the Scots boast a 23-3-1 (.870) mark at Sox Harrison Stadium but coimter with a 14-13-1 (.518) record on the road. 159 markers and two touchdowns. His 3,217 career passing yards rank him fifth all time on the Edinboro passing list. With the graduation of receivers Brian Heebsh, Paul Stone and Wrentie Martin, David Ashton (17 receptions, 210 yards, 2 touch­ downs) is the Scots' top returning pass catcher. In the backfield, PSAC West player of the year and All-American Larry Jackson returns. The junior topped the PSAC in rushing yards last year with 1,218 while his 17 rushing scores and 19 overall touchdowns were also tops in the confer­ ence. Jackson's touchdowns on the groxmd were the fourth best ever in con­ ference history. Chris Snyder (30-128-2) is the returning front-runner for the fullback spot along with Tom Tedder (17-68) who is looking to return following knee surgery. Offensive Line All-American Mike Kegarise is one of the best in the country at his tackle position. At 6-7, 300 pounds, Kegarise leads an offensive front which includes tackle Tony Tighe, center Gordie Hitch­ cock and guard Chadd Wallick. The grad­ uation of All-American Scott Nickel and tight end Heebsh leaves some holes to fill. Defensive Line A BREAKDOWN OF PERSONNEL: The Scots return three quarters of their four-man front including 1993 pre­ season All-American tackle Russell Cray (72 tackles, 9 sacks). End Devas Simmons (62 stops, 8 for loss, team high 5 forced Lmbles) is also back along with tackle Rob Harmer (48 tackles). Also expected to help along the defensive line will be returnee Otha Davidson (2 sacks, 4 tackles for loss) and Scot heavyweight wrestler Pat Schuster. The graduation of All-American Anthony Ross spells a void for the Scots but David­ son and Schuster are both able replace­ ments. Skill Positions Linebackers With returning starter Jody Dickerson at quarterback, the Scots will be solid under center. Having guided Edinboro to 15 wins in 22 games (15-6-1) since his freshman year, Dickerson is on pace to break every standard in the Edinboro record books. Last year, he tossed for 1,855 yards and 12 scores and rushed for The trio of All-American Jason Perkins, Michael Sims and Mike Edwards return to the second line of defense. Perkins, a pre-season first-team choice by Host Communications and The Sporting News, is back to round out a brilliant career. Currently seventh on the school's 11 all-time hit list with 341 tackles, a year similar to 1992 (135 tackles, 19 for loss) will propel Perkins to second on the career tackle charts. His 30 tackles for loss, not including quarterback sacks, is the most in Edinboro history. Sims had a banner season for a first year player in 1992, finishing fourth on the team with 84 tackles. His ten pass deflections tied for the team high. Edwards was close behind with 70 stops, including four for loss. His three forced fumbles was third best on the squad. Brian Lambert, a reserve last season (12 tackles) is greatly improved and will bat­ tle for a starting spot. Secondary If the Boro has major holes to fill, it is in the defensive backfield. Gone are AllAmericans Michael Barnes and Georj Lewis. The pair combined to start 85 con­ secutive contests with cornerback Lewis penciled in for every one during his 45game career. Returning are defensive back Mario Houston and safety Steve Russell. Hous­ ton had 50 stops, one interception and tied for the team lead with ten pass deflections in '92. Over his career, which began with All-PSAC West Rookie of the Year honors in 1990, Houston has been in on 188 stops, with seven interceptions and 38 deflections. His pass breakup total is second best on the all-time Boro list. Russell has been solid since his freshman campaign, tying for the team lead in interceptions each of his first two seasons. His seven career thefts project him to be Edinboro's all-time leader (13) at career's end. One of his five interceptions last sea­ son was returned 85 yards for a score. Specialties The return of All-American punter Gary Lhotsky adds to an already solid defense. A first-team All-PSAC West choice in 1992, Lhotsky led the conference in yards per punt averaging 40.1. His 133 punts over the past three years have aver­ aged 37.7 ypp. Lhotsky's career best cov­ ered 65 yards against Shippensburg last season. The Scot kicking game is a question mark as Scott Rupert (3-7 field goals and 21 of 27 PATs) tries to recover from a knee injury suffered as a member of the base­ ball team last spring. Go Team!

Hollman came to Edinboro from Ohio Univer­ sity, where he was the defensive coor­ dinator. Hollman, beginning his sixth year, has the Scot program back in the national spotlight. At Edinboro, he has earned 37 wins against just 16 losses and two ties and owns an impressive 22-6-2 slate against the PSAC Western Division. The Scots have advanced to post-season play three of the past five years. Tom Hollman At Edinboro University 1988 5-4-1 1989 9-3 NCAA Playoffs 1990 8-3 NCAA Playoffs 1991 7-4 1992 8 2-1 - 37-16-2 In 1989, he was named the top coach in the East Region by the National Football Coaches Associa­ tion and also tabbed the top coach in the PSAC West. In 1990, he guided the Scots to their first-ever NCAA II playoff win as Edinboro routed Vir­ ginia Union and advanced to the national quarterfinals. "Edinboro has been a great expe­ rience, and I like the direction of the program," Hollman said. "As a coach, I have been fortu­ nate to coach at many different levels, from high school to Division I. The Division II level here at Edinboro is very appealing to me in relation to my career goals. It is a great feeling to be a head coach at this level." Hollman's educational back­ ground begins with a high school diploma from Memorial High School in St. Mary's, Ohio, followed by his undergraduate degree in education from Ohio Northern University in 1968. Three years later Hollman received his master of science degree in education from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. While at Ohio Northern, Holl­ man was a three-year starter for the football team and a two-year per­ former as a defensive back and offen­ sive end during his junior and senior years. He holds the school record 14 USUALLY SEEN BEFORE OR AFTER FIGHTING SCOTS FOOTBALL GAMES! with 13 career interceptions and earned All-American and AU-District honors during the 1966 and 1967 sea­ sons. Hollman also lettered in base­ ball for three years during his stay at Ohio Northern. A chronological look at Holl­ man's coaching career begins in 1968 as an assistant coach at Sidney High School in Sidney, Ohio. From there, Hollman moved on to Greenville High School in Ohio where he became head coach from 1971-73. His GreenviUe squads posted an impres­ sive 26-2-2 mark during his threeyear stay. Hollman then moved on to Fre­ mont Ross High School as head coach for the 1974 and 1975 seasons, where his squad recorded 15 wins against three setbacks and two ties. Fremont was the Buckeye Conference champ in 1974, unbeaten at 9-0-1. In 1976, Hollman moved on to the collegiate ranks where he was the defensive coordinator for his alma mater at Ohio Northern University. The following year, Hollman accepted the head coach position at Wooster CoHege (OH) and guided his squad to the best four-year record in the school history (24-11-1). In 1981, Hollman took an assis­ tant coaching spot with Ball State University which he held through the 1984 campaign. Then, beginning in 1985 Hollman held the defensive coordinator position at Ohio Univer­ sity. "It has been a very comfortable transition for me," Hollman added. "I have found the community to be sup­ portive and the administration is giv­ ing me every opportunity to be successful here at Edinboro," he con­ cluded. Tom resides in Edinboro with his wife, Kandi, and four children, Mari, Jon, Tim and Denise. NEAPOLITAN GREAT OLD-FASHIONED NEIGHBORHOOD STYLE PIZZA! IWo Large Cheese Large Cheese iM.99 o: Pi^ -Hut.

HAMOT Assistant Coaches SPORTS MEDICINE Scott Browning - Secondary 1 Moving to the defensive side of the ball, from the offensive backfield, Scott brings a wealth of coaching experience in his eighth year at the 'Boro. Under his guidance the Scot defense has intercepted 78 passes the past five seasons. He has guided the fortunes of All-Americans Michael Willis, Wade Smith, Georj Lewis, and Mike Barnes, and PSAC Rookie of the Year Mario Houston. Offensively, he coached former greats Floyd Faulkner and Ross Rankin. Scott came to Edinboro from Ohio State University, where he coached receivers and running backs. Prior to his start at OSU, Browning coached at Wor­ thington and Dayton-Fairview high schools in Ohio, from 1979-81. Then, as a graduate assistant, he coached the defen­ sive secondary at New Mexico State in 1982. In 1983, he mentored the receivers at Idaho State University which advanced to the Division I-AA playoffs. Browning earned a master's degree in education administration from New Mexico State in 1983, and a BS in educa­ tion from Ohio State in 1981. Earlier, before transferring to OSU, Scott attended Capital University where he played foot­ ball for one season. Browning was a fouryear letterman in four sports at Loudenville High School (OH) prior to his collegiate days. Scott is married to the former Lynn Hook and resides in Edin­ boro.

He is also the head women's softball coach for the Scots and led the squad to the PSAC playoffs in 1990. Gierlak came to the 'Boro from Thiel College (Pa.) where he coached the defen­ sive secondary for the 1984 season. Dan, a starter and three-year letterwinner for the Plaid in the secondary, moved on to the semi-pro ranks with the Chicago Cow­ boys. During his short stint with the Cowboys, Gierlak's squad gained nation­ al championship honors in 1984 and run­ ner up nationally in the 1985 season. Gier­ lak brings both playing and coaching experience to the staff, giving the Scot players an added plus on the offensive side of the ball. As backfield coach, he has guided former Harlon Hill finalist Elbert Cole and Boro All-Americans Lester Frye and Larry Jackson. Originally from Buffalo, New York, Dan graduated from Edinboro with a degree in health and physical education. He and his wife, the former Amy Adams and two-year-old daughter, Alexandria Alicia, reside in Edinboro. Mark Niswonger - Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers Mark Niswonger, a veteran of the coaching ranks for 20 years, begins his sixth year with the Plaid as defensive coordinator and linebacker coach. Former understudy of head coach Tom Hollman at Greenville High School, Mark brings extensive experience both on and off the field to the Scot coaching staff. He has helped mold the Scot defense into one of the most respected squads in the country over the past five years. His coaching stint began back while attending Findlay when he was the head scout for Arlington High School. His first job after college was as defensive coordi­ nator for Bryan High School (OH) where the team earned a 9-1 record. The next two seasons, Niswonger was the defen­ sive coordinator at West Carrollton High School (OH) where his squad posted an impressive 17-1-2 slate. After West Carrollton, he then returned to graduate school at Ball State University where he helped coach the tight ends and offensive linemen. From 1981-84, Niswonger was the head coach at Franklin City schools and was named "coach of the year" in 1982 when his squad won its first league championship in 18 years.

Chadd Wallick Boro All-American Dares to Dream Edinboro University offensive tackle Mike Kegarise has a passion for collecting football cards. He's proud of the fact that numbered in his collection are rookie cards of National Football League Hall of Earners Otto Graham, Walter Payton, and Terry Bradshaw. Very soon, however, he may land the most valuable .. . his own. Kegarise, a mammoth 6-6, 310-pound senior from Milan, Ohio, is the best pro prospect the Scots have had since Ernest Priester in 1990, and may be the best offensive line prospect that Edinboro has ever produced. "Right now," admits Fighting Scots offensive line coach and NFL liaison Ed Stults, "with the draft having only eight rounds, he's probably a legitimate free agent. If he gets drafted, that's icing on the cake. He's a tough kid that will compete and he's going to play hard. If he goes to (training) camp with somebody, he won't embarrass himself." Professional scouts share Stults' enthusiasm for Kegarise. Already, representatives from several NFL teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs, the Los Angeles Raiders, the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills, have been to Edinboro to watch film and put Kegarise through a series of workouts. He has also been visited by both NFL scouting combines. What the pros have found is what Scot fans have known since Kegarise stepped into the Boro lineup four seasons ago as a redshirt freshman. They are drawn by his physical, dominating style of play, his quickness and his extreme competitiveness. To say nothing of his durability, as this afternoon's game marks his 39th consecutive start on the offensive front. All-American Mike Kegarise It is no coincidence that in Kegarise's four years as a starter, the Fighting Scots have posted an overall record of 27-10-1 (.716), have amassed more than 213 yards on the ground per game, have scored nearly 1,000 points and have compiled better than 13,000 yards of total offense. It is also no fluke that Edinboro has had one PSAC West Player of the Year, a PSAC West Rookie of the Year and a Harlon Hill trophy finalist during Kegarise's stint anchoring the offensive line. Yet, Kegarise has received virtually no recognition. Until now. keep my fitness up. I don't mind staying after practice to work on some drills because I know that's what it takes to continue to get better." Kegarise is already pretty good - good enough to be consid­ ered among the elite linemen in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference and the country. And if he continues to improve, he might not only have a shot at getting invited to a professional training camp, but also a very real chance at landing a spot on a pro roster. "The lack of publicity really doesn't bother me," admits the elementary and special education major. "I realize that it's the nature of the position. Besides, I'm not the type of person who gets cocky or mean or selfish. When (the offensive line) sees Larry (Jackson) or Corey (Hill) break a long run, it makes us feel good because we know that they wouldn't be able to do it if we weren't doing our job." Marty Williams "I'm not going to say he's going to make an NFL roster," says Stults. "But, he's probably going to get a chance to do it. It just depends on the team that takes him (and) their needs. But I feel he's going to get a chance with somebody and that's what you need - a chance. Once you get there, you've got to prove that you're good enough to be there. So he'll get a chance, he's just got to make the most of it." "Knowing that Mike and the rest of the guys are up front," admits quarterback Jody Dickerson, who has been sacked a total of six times over the past two seasons, "helps me relax and play up to my abilities. I never have to worry about having guys in uiy face or anything like that because Keg and the rest of the 8uys simply do not allow it." Should he succeed in making an NFL squad, he will not only fulfill a childhood dream, but he will also have the opportu­ nity to add to his football card collection. "I've thought about having my own card many times," he confesses. "And I always joke that I'd charge a dollar to sign it. That way. I'd know that it was worth at least a dollar." Another thing that Kegarise does not and will not allow is complacency. It really takes a lot of work to be a good football player," he worked my tail off to get to where I am now. But, at 6 same time, I realize that there is still a long way to go. I work ®ut every day and lift three times a week during the season to Funny what a dollar can buy these days. , 32 33 Dave Hallman Sells More FORD Cars and Trucks Because He Makes Better Deals ...

Over the past two years, 45 different student-athletes have earned semester grade point averages of 3.0 or better while eleven current Fighting Scots have cumulative point averages above the mark. Twenty-one football players made up over 25% of the 79 student-athletes and support personnel that were honored last spring for their academic and athletic success. The Scots boasted a pair of academic All-Americans last season as graduating seniors Sean Seibert and Brian Heebsh were recognized as National Scholar-Ath­ letes by the College Football Preview magazine. Seibert earned his political sci­ ence degree in just seven semesters and finished his academic career with a per­ fect 4.0 QPA last fall. Seibert's fame on the field can be measured in leading the Plaid to their only NCAA II playoff win in 1990. Heebsh was named second team All-PSAC West last year for his efforts on the field. Two other Scots deserving special recognition are All-Americans Georj Lewis and Mike Barnes. Combining to start 85 games in the Edinboro defensive backfield during their careers the two­ some were also nominated for the NCAA Minority Post-Graduate Scholarship this past winter by the University.

The State System of Higher Education / The state urviversities spent the first 100 years of existence train­ ing teachers for Pennsylvania's schools. The Normal School Act of 1857 established regional teacher training institutions throughout the Commonwealth. The School Code of 1911 called for the state purchase of all nor­ mal schools, and by 1921 the pre­ sent configuration of 14 state-owned universities was established. The 14 normal schools evolved from state nor­ mal schools, to state teachers col­ leges, to state colleges. On November 12, 1982, Act 188 was signed into law establishing on July 1, 1993 the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Educa­ tion. Thus, the 13 former state colleges joined with Indiana Uni­ versity of Pennsylvania to achieve university status. The universities have a cumulative history of 1,600 years. / Several study abroad programs are available in System universi­ ties. System universities are part of the Pennsylvania Council for International Education. / All the universities support life­ long learning programs through­ out the academic year. Many feature Elderhostel. / Most universities have honors programs, student counseling and career planning, cooperative education, and internship pro­ grams. / System library holdings total more than 5.4 million volumes and 3.5 million periodicals, microforms, and audio materials. / The imiversities in the State Sys­ tem of Higher Education are fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Sec­ ondary Schools, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, and several appropriate national professional organizations. / System graduates living in the Commonwealth number over 271,000. y There are 14 universities in the State System of Higher Education with three branch campuses and the McKeever Environmental Center. / The total student population among the System universities is 99,850. While 86% of students are from Pennsylvania, they repre­ sent many other states and for­ eign countries. / The total university campus has over 4,000 acres in 19 Pennsylva­ nia counties. Buildings for class­ rooms, residences, administration and student sup­ port number 719. / First row (L-R): Chris Cowan, Scott Rightsell, Brian Page, Vinnie Pappalardo. Second row (L-R): Bob Geiselhart, Carrie Cornell, George Roberts, Andrea Skibinski, Gary Hanna, Karen Beall, Michele Spurgeon. 40 Collectively the 14 universities offer 225 undergraduate and 98 graduate degree programs, led by 5,500 full-time faculty mem­ bers. / An average 75% of undergradu­ ate students receive some form of financial assistance to help meet costs.
