Campus police accused
of undue harassment
By LARRY SCHMIDT
News Editor
and MIKE HOLTER
A complaint rising from
a student suspected of
phoning in last week's bomb
threat is going to lead to a
closer look at the Division of
Law Enforcement and Safety's
conduct.
Members of the Student Life staff told a meeting
of students Friday that they
would talk with Vice-President
of Administration Russell Milliken today about a number of
complaints concerning the
manner in which the law
enforcement division has conducted itself recently in investigating cases.
because the bomb threat voice
was that of an upset female,
she became in effect "guilty
until proven innocent."
Below is her account of
the incident, as well as a brief
account of several other incidents related at Friday's meetiiig with Student Life staff
members Evelyn Nicholson
and Terrell Jones.

Almost every delegate to
the symposium mentioned the
problems underdeveloped nations are facing and what
developed nations such as the
U.S. must do to help alleviate
the situation. The U.S. must
help reduce the economic
problems facing the world, not
in the form of more aid or more
money, according to Timmins
of Australia, but through
revision of the present system.
The smaller nations of the
world that produce only one
comodity must be able to sell
to more than one nation and
receive a good price. Dinata of
Indonesia felt that "all nations
must share equally the weahh,

exist throughout the world. He
hopes that Indonesia and other
small nations will become
partners, not dependents in

Concern was expressed at
the fear of America returning
to isolationism. Albrectsen of
Denmark stated, "Even
though this country could
indeed shut itself off and still
survive," it would have a
detrimental affect on the rest
of the world. Timmens of
Australia said,"America is the
most dynamic country in the
world, the natural leader of the
western world." He stated

Comments concerning law enforcement's role
on campus have in the past appeared to be a
seasonal matter. Supposed student abuses by law
enforcement arise from rumors, boil to a high-point
of interest, and then seem to evaporate. Often the
incident goes unsolved, is quickly forgotten, and
students, like ostriches, stick their heads back in the
books.
But after Friday's meeting between members
of the Student Life staff and several members of the
student body, it seems there's an "open season" on
students. The litany that poured forth from the
gathered students indicated that abuses thought to
be isolated incidents were, in fact, standard
operating procedures for the Divison of Law
Enforcement and Safety.
The most often cited complaints included
"badgering" of students before telling them what
they were suspected of, an officer performing duties
out of uniform and not identifying herself, and the
creation of an atmosphere in which students feel
they are being sought out and accused without
sufficient evidence!
Although only a few students attended the
meeting, it's hard to believe that the above incidents
haven't affected a greater number of students. We
believe that a large number of abuses exist, but that
students are afraid to come forth and say so because
of their position. Some students feel threatened by
the thought of making waves, but it is the only way to
prevent further abusive behavior from being
reinforced.
The Student Life personnel reiterated their
position on Friday by asking students to let them
know of other such incidents. We believe this appeal
is valid and sincere: Something will be done. How
much is done depends on how many people come
forth and relate how they were threatened by these
"friends of the students."
If you feel that you have been mistreated by
the Division of Law Enforcement and Safety, now is
the time to come forth. The right to complain is
inherent in our system. If we stand by and let those
who have valid complaints be made into chief
suspects, who knows where this irrational thought
process will lead.
We're the first to realize that the law
enforcement division's services are necessary for the
orderly operation of our campus community.
However, to use the forces of justice without regards
to student's rights is wrong. It could well return us to
the Nixon era of breaking the law in order to
preserve it.

parking across from Bentley
Hall.
Bright paid the tickets
and proceeded to law enforcement where she admitted guilt
to the parking violations, but
questioned the inconsistencies
in enforcing parking regulations and the law enforcement
division's ability to adequately
protect students. She cited
instances of firearms being
discharged across campus as a
danger to students which was
being ignored in favor of
enforcing parking regualtions.
Before leaving law enforcement Bright commented that
law enforcement should be
doing more than prosecuting
parking violation offenders.
Shortly after the time of
Bright's departure a bomb
threat was phoned through the
administration switchboard.
According to Director of Law
Enforcement and Safety Carl
Nelson, the voice was identified as female. Within 90
minutes of the call Nelson told
a reporter that he had a
suspect.
During
the
time
between her departure from
law enforcement and the time
of the bomb threat. Bright
went downtown to mail packages at the post office. While
there she spoke with both a
postal clerk and a fellow
student. To Bright's knowledge, neither were contacted
to check her "alibi" before law
enforcement later began questioning her.
After mailing the packages Bright returned to her
Gross Hall residence and then
proceeded to the library where
she signed several books out
and spent several hours studying. During these hours Officer Pat Strauss was seen
looking for Bright at her Gross
Hall residence, the Ulmer Hall
science department and the
Student Publications Office,
PUB ground floor.
At approximately 3:30
p.m.
Officer
Strauss
approached Bright at band
practice and asked if she
would like to speak with her.
Bright consented, later stating
that she thought the conversation would involve student-law
enforcement relationships.
Bright and Officer
St.auss moved to the storage
office adjacent to the Dean of
Arts and Science's secretary's
office. After closing the door,
Officer Strauss then read
Bright her "rights." For what
Bright described as more than
a ten minute period Officer
Strauss "badgered" her saying "I guess you know why I'm
here" and asking about her
h: .g around phones that day.
After stating that she
was the chief suspect, Officer
Strauss ^.:Acd Bright if she
would submit to a polygraph
(lie detector) test. Citing her
familiarities wii;h the instrument's fallibilities, Bright refused. She was then told such
a refusal would be an implication of guilt.
After more questioning.
Bright asked Officer Strauss if
she had to remain in the room.
Officer Strauss replied no, but
leaving would again be an
implication of guilt. Reportedly a state policeman from
the Avis barracks had already
been summoned to administer
the polygraph.
Upon leaving the Sloan
building Bright returned to
Gross Hall where she recounted the day's incidents to Hall
manager Mrs. Gayvert. Gayvert then phoned Nelson to
inquire about the student's
status. It was at this time that
Bright first learned that law
enforcement had no substantial evidence to indicate guilt.
Nelson and Officer Strauss
then went to Gross Hall where
they spoke with Gayvert and
Bright about co-operating with
law enforcement investigations.
Students meet with Student
Life Staff
The majority of Bright's
preceding narrative, as well as
accounts from several other
students, were the subject of a
3:00 Friday meeting with
Student Life personnal Evelyn
Nicholson and Terrell Jones.
A point stressed by
Bright at the meeting was that
she was being treated as if she
were guilty until proven innocent, instead of vice-versa.
She voiced objection to the
tactics employed in the current
investigation.

Booters extend
unbeaten streak
By GARY BRUBAKER
Staff Reporter
An outstanding team
effort highlighted by Mike
Seigfried's first period score
gave the Bald Eagle Booters a
thrilling 1-0 shutout victory
over an always tough East
Stroudsburg contingent Saturday on McCollum field.
Playing what Coach
Karl Herrmann called "the
best half of soccer I've ever
seen here at the Haven," the
Lock Haven booters jumped
off to a 1-0 advantage late in
the first period and made it
stand up as the Warriors came
on strong in the second half.
The Eagles, at least in
this game, broke the "slow
start jinx" that has plagued
them thus far this season.
While holding "Stroud" to a
mere two shots the entire first
half, the Bald Eagles vollied
eleven times at Warrior goalies Rich Brands and Paul
Williamson, the former forced
from the game because of an
injury sustained in saving a
Roger Bernecker "header"
early in the period.
The win, only the
second time the Bald Eagles
have defeated the John
McKean coached team in the
past 17 years, couldn't have
come at a better time, keeping
the Bald Eagles' unbeaten
status intact and running the
Eagles' record to 7-0-1.
Roger Bernecker fed a
beautiful pass from the middle
of the field to Mike Seigfried
streaking down the left wing;
the Eagle senior faking past
his fieldback defender and
slamming a leftfooted shot
past Warrior goalie Paul
Williamson into the right
corner of the net from eight
yards out for the score.
The goal at 30:15
marked the "beginning of the
end" for East Stroudsburg, as
neither teams, despite good
scoring opportunities, could
put the ball in the net the
remainder of the contest.
East Stroudsburg controlled the momentum of the
game in the second half, but
the Eagles rose to the occasion, successfully protecting
page 3
EAGLE EYE
the one goal lead and neariy
breaking the game open themselves in the second period.
The Bald Eagles outshot their opponents 22-10,
with East Stroudsburg taking
the edge in corners, 5-2. Steve
Tanner registered seven saves
on the afternoon; five coming
in the second half. Rich
Brands and Paul Williamson
combined for nine Warrior
saves, with three and six
respectively.
Following the game a
happy Coach Herrmann
stated, "I felt before the game
that we were good enough to
win it and after it was over, I
felt we should have won it. We
had an outstanding effort from
everyone. Our back four bent a
little but never broke, and the
front line of Bernecker, Seigfried, and Wilson did an
outstanding job."
In
conclusion,
Herrmann added, "1 value this
win more than anything except
for one game-Slippery Rock."

which had taken place over the
past year. One student recounted that she was accused of the
theft of a classmate's pocketbook while absent from school
due to the birth of her baby.
Upon her return to school the
student was identified by a

later was approached by
Officer Strauss.
The student stated that
at the time of the incident her

because of the manner in
which she was treated by the

Lireferred no action be taken.
Another student related

Comments concerning law enforcement's role
on campus have in the past appeared to be a
seasonal matter. Supposed student abuses by law
enforcement arise from rumors, boil to a high-point
of interest, and then seem to evaporate. Often the
incident goes unsolved, is quickly forgotten, and
students, like ostriches, stick their heads back in the
books.
But after Friday's meeting between members
of the Student Life staff and several members of the
student body, it seems there's an "open season" on
students. The litany that poured forth from the
gathered students indicated that abuses thought to
be isolated incidents were, in fact, standard
operating procedures for the Divison of Law
Enforcement and Safety.
The most often cited complaints included
"badgering" of students before telling them what
they were suspected of, an officer performing duties
out of uniform and not identifying herself, and the
creation of an atmosphere in which students feel
they are being sought out and accused without
sufficient evidence!
Although only a few students attended the
meeting, it's hard to believe that the above incidents
haven't affected a greater number of students. We
believe that a large number of abuses exist, but that
students are afraid to come forth and say so because
of their position. Some students feel threatened by
the thought of making waves, but it is the only way to
prevent further abusive behavior from being
reinforced.
The Student Life personnel reiterated their
position on Friday by asking students to let them
know of other such incidents. We believe this appeal
is valid and sincere: Something will be done. How
much is done depends on how many people come
forth and relate how they were threatened by these
"friends of the students."
If you feel that you have been mistreated by
the Division of Law Enforcement and Safety, now is
the time to come forth. The right to complain is
inherent in our system. If we stand by and let those
who have valid complaints be made into chief
suspects, who knows where this irrational thought
process will lead.
We're the first to realize that the law
enforcement division's services are necessary for the
orderly operation of our campus community.
However, to use the forces of justice without regards
to student's rights is wrong. It could well return us to
the Nixon era of breaking the law in order to
preserve it.

Hall.
Bright paid the tickets
and proceeded to law enforcement where she admitted guilt
to the parking violations, but
questioned the inconsistencies
in enforcing parking regulations and the law enforcement
division's ability to adequately
protect students. She cited
instances of firearms being
discharged across campus as a
danger to students which was
being ignored in favor of
enforcing parking regualtions.
Before leaving law enforcement Bright commented that
law enforcement should be
doing more than prosecuting
parking violation offenders.
Shortly after the time of
Bright's departure a bomb
threat was phoned through the
administration switchboard.
According to Director of Law
Enforcement and Safety Carl
Nelson, the voice was identified as female. Within 90
minutes of the call Nelson told
a reporter that he had a
suspect.
During
the
time
between her departure from
law enforcement and the time
of the bomb threat. Bright
went downtown to mail packages at the post office. While
there she spoke with both a
postal clerk and a fellow
student. To Bright's knowledge, neither were contacted
to check her "alibi" before law
enforcement later began questioning her.
After mailing the packages Bright returned to her
Gross Hall residence and then
proceeded to the library where
she signed several books out
and spent several hours studying. During these hours Officer Pat Strauss was seen
looking for Bright at her Gross
Hall residence, the Ulmer Hall
science department and the
Student Publications Office,
PUB ground floor.
At approximately 3:30
p.m.
Officer
Strauss
approached Bright at band
practice and asked if she
would like to speak with her.
Bright consented, later stating
that she thought the conversation would involve student-law
enforcement relationships.
Bright and Officer
St.auss moved to the storage
office adjacent to the Dean of
Arts and Science's secretary's
office. After closing the door,
Officer Strauss then read
Bright her "rights." For what
Bright described as more than
a ten minute period Officer
Strauss "badgered" her saying "I guess you know why I'm
here" and asking about her
h: .g around phones that day.
After stating that she
was the chief suspect, Officer
Strauss ^.:Acd Bright if she
would submit to a polygraph
(lie detector) test. Citing her
familiarities wii;h the instrument's fallibilities, Bright refused. She was then told such
a refusal would be an implication of guilt.
After more questioning.
Bright asked Officer Strauss if
she had to remain in the room.
Officer Strauss replied no, but
leaving would again be an
implication of guilt. Reportedly a state policeman from
the Avis barracks had already
been summoned to administer
the polygraph.
Upon leaving the Sloan
building Bright returned to
Gross Hall where she recounted the day's incidents to Hall
manager Mrs. Gayvert. Gayvert then phoned Nelson to
inquire about the student's
status. It was at this time that
Bright first learned that law
enforcement had no substantial evidence to indicate guilt.
Nelson and Officer Strauss
then went to Gross Hall where
they spoke with Gayvert and
Bright about co-operating with
law enforcement investigations.

accounts from several other

on strong in the second half.
The Eagles, at least in
this game, broke the "slow
start jinx" that has plagued
them thus far this season.
While holding "Stroud" to a
mere two shots the entire first
half, the Bald Eagles vollied
eleven times at Warrior goalies Rich Brands and Paul
Williamson, the former forced
from the game because of an
injury sustained in saving a
Roger Bernecker "header"
early in the period.
The win, only the
second time the Bald Eagles
have defeated the John
McKean coached team in the
past 17 years, couldn't have
come at a better time, keeping
the Bald Eagles' unbeaten
status intact and running the
Eagles' record to 7-0-1.
Roger Bernecker fed a
beautiful pass from the middle
of the field to Mike Seigfried
streaking down the left wing;
the Eagle senior faking past
his fieldback defender and
slamming a leftfooted shot
past Warrior goalie Paul
Williamson into the right
corner of the net from eight
yards out for the score.
The goal at 30:15
marked the "beginning of the
end" for East Stroudsburg, as
neither teams, despite good
scoring opportunities, could
put the ball in the net the
remainder of the contest.
East Stroudsburg controlled the momentum of the
game in the second half, but
the Eagles rose to the occasion, successfully protecting

the one goal lead and neariy
breaking the game open themselves in the second period.
The Bald Eagles outshot their opponents 22-10,
with East Stroudsburg taking
the edge in corners, 5-2. Steve
Tanner registered seven saves
on the afternoon; five coming
in the second half. Rich
Brands and Paul Williamson
combined for nine Warrior
saves, with three and six
respectively.
Following the game a
happy Coach Herrmann
stated, "I felt before the game
that we were good enough to
win it and after it was over, I
felt we should have won it. We
had an outstanding effort from
everyone. Our back four bent a
little but never broke, and the
front line of Bernecker, Seigfried, and Wilson did an
outstanding job."
In
conclusion,
Herrmann added, "1 value this
win more than anything except
for one game-Slippery Rock."

campus police accused
cont. from page 2
students present related incidents involving the Division of
Law Enforcement and Safety
which had taken place over the
past year. One student recounted that she was accused of the
theft of a classmate's pocketbook while absent from school
due to the birth of her baby.
Upon her return to school the
student was identified by a
custodian in a laboratory, and
later was approached by
Officer Strauss.
The student stated that
at the time of the incident her
parents recommended filing
legal action against the college
because of the manner in
which she was treated by the
officers. Because of her position as a student, however, she
Lireferred no action be taken.
Another student related
;m incident that occured over
;lie summer in which he was
.iccused of breaking into cabinets and stealing tools which
lad been missing for a long
lime. He also claimed that he
felt a need to "prove his
innocence."
A recent incident was
recounted in which students
uere followed off campus by
• ifficers of the Law Enforcement and Safety Division, and
ihen stopped by city police on
a city street. When the student
asked what was going on he
vas told "You know what's
;uing on." At the incident's
outcome the students were
told it was routine check.
From the accounts related at the meeting it became
apparent to the Student Life
members present that students felt they were being
harassed, felt that members of
the Law Enforcement and
Safety Division weren't identifying themselves as officers,
and felt that tactics were being
employed against the college
community which created a
guilty until proven innocent
environment.
The members of the
Student Life personnel recommended that any other such
incidences involving the law
"BUS STOP"
enforcement office should be existed, such incidents may
