Rental inspections result of ordinance
by Jennifer Bowes
Eagle Eye News Editor_
A city-wide rental property inspection
program, an ordinance a year and a half in
the making, will become a reality Jan. 1
when the first round of inspections begins.
The program will affect both off-campus
University students and the Lock Haven
community.
The ordinance calls for all city rental
property to be inspected on a three-year rotating basis, in which the property must
meet the nationally recognized 1993 Building Officials and Code Administrators International Inc.'s (BOCA) property codes,
the minimum standard for building living
conditions, according to David Romig, city
code officer.
The'ordinance was an idea of the Community Advisory Board, a group of University and city officials who meet on a regular
basis to discuss problems dealing with both
the Uriiversity and the city.
During the spring of 1993, talks about
rental units and the negative condition of
some arose, and students were coming to
Dr. Joseph Marron, dean of students and
chair of the Community Advisory Board,

with landlord problems.
The proposal was "hashed out" by Lock
Haven City Council during the summer of
1993, Marron said. Marron attended City
Council meetings every week and made
points of the safety hazards involved for
both students and townspeople living in
poor housing conditions.
City Council passed the ordinance in
June 1993. Marron claims it is the "single
biggest accomplishment" of the Community Advisory Board. Both the board and
City Council "stood ground" to get it
passed, he said.
The creation of the ordinance has not
only helped our students "tremendously,"
but also non-university citizens who are
currently living in "sub-standard" housing,
Marron said. "[We were] concerned with
not only University students, but the community too," he said.
Approximately 1,8(X) University students
live off-campus, according to Marron.
The ordinance divides the city's five
wards into three districts, each of which has
been assigned a different inspection year.
Rental property owners in the first, second and fifth city wards, which make up

Need for child care at University being assessed
by Jennifer Baer
Eagle Eye News Editor_
The Association of Pennsylvania State
College and University Faculties (AP•SCUF), in an August 1993 report from its
Joint Study Committee on Child Care,
identified Lock Haven University as being
one of three State System of Higher Education (SSHE) universities not maintaining a
child care facility. University administrators are currently looking at the possibility
of changing this.
The first step toward investigating the
need for child care services for students and
employees at the University came in February 1994 when University President Craig
Dean Willis formed a Child Care Committee to assess the situation.
In May 1994, the committee sent a 17item questionnaire to approximately 450 faculty and staff members and 400 non-

traditional students at both the University's
main and Clearfield campuses. The committee received 158 responses to this questionnaire.
The survey brought several items to the
committee's attention. It was discovered
that almost 60 percent of the respondents
had children under 12 years of age. A majority of the parents were satisfied with the
child care services they currently use, but
68 of them repwrted they would be likely to
use a facility on campus if it was available.
The University currently assists full-time
students who have young children by paying approximately 30 percent of the cost of
their child care services at the Building
Blocks or Magic Years child care facilities
in Lock Haven, said Dr. Linda Koch, vice
president for student affairs.
Approximately one decade ago, a group
of University students volunteered their
time to provide child care services for other
students in the basement of Russell Hall.

Meeting, announcements, help wanted listings, apartments for
rent, club announcements, personals.

This operation was closed when Dr. Mary
Pursell, vice president for academic affairs,
looked into it further.
"I went down to see it one time and was
just appalled by what I saw," Pursell said.
The first problem she discovered was that
several cribs were located close enough to
a steam line that a child would have been
able to grab the line from his or her crib,
according to Pursell.
The second problem Pursell found was
that the heater for the entire dorm stood behind a door in the basement that was not
blast-proof. Thankfully, the heater never
exploded, Pursell said.
Finally, student bunk beds without side
rails were put in an unvented room in which
the students took their naps, she said. "First
of all, there was no air exchange," Pursell
said. "Secondly, when 1 walked in, there
was about a 3-year-old on the top bunk."
Pursell called the operation a "very casual
affair. It certainly was never University-run

child care," she said.
Now, in the 1990s, the University is looking at its options for providing child care
services. After receiving the results of its
survey and visiting private providers of
day care services in Lock Haven, Williamsport and Clearfield, the Child Care Committee has developed the following "plan of
action," as written in its August 1994 report:
• Form another committee to work out
such details as to the "cost, size, agreements with providers, etc." of establishing a
child care facility on campus.
• "Contact Lock Haven Child Care
(LHCC) and work out a contractual agreement to operate a child care center on the
main campus, whereby the University covers overhead costs of the facility and LHCC
provides expertise and staff." If the committee must accept bids for the service, it'

Hall's Eagle Rock Cafe at 6:24 p.m.
When the officer arrived at the scene, he
attempted to evacuate both the Eagle
Rock Cafe and the Upper Deck but had a
difficult time doing so even after the fire
alarm was pulled. Some paper cups had
fallen into the exhaust of the deep fryer
and caught on fire. The Lock Haven Fire
Department responded to the scene and
found that the cups had burnt themselves
out. Law enforcement reminds students
that it is urgent that they evacuate a build
ing when a fire alarm has been sounded.

Rental Inspection (from page i)
the first district, are required to have their
property inspected the first year of the program, which begins Jan. 1, 1995. Owners
in the third ward, or second district, will be
required to be inspected the second year,
and those in the fourth ward, or third district, in the third year, according to Romig.
The cycle will then be repeated.
"[Property] must be inspected in the year
required — not before or after that," he said.
The property owner must first contact a
third-party BOCA-certified
inspection
agent, proven by Romig to be certified. A
list of these inspectors, compiled by Romig, will be available to the community.
After the two negotiate fees, the inspection is completed and an inspection checklist with the agent's signatures is returned to
Romig by the property owner.
Romig will then give the owner a "certificate of inspection," which must be placed
in a visible location so that any tenants living in the property will know it has been inspected. In a few years, most people will
know which property has been inspected,
he said.
"It's a big plus for renters, I think," said
Romig. "Not to say there can't be damage
after the fact" or problems created after the
inspection, he added.
Romig hopes the ordinance will improve
rental property to a minimum standard that
he alone is not able to get to. "The man
hours alone cannot be done by one person,"
he said.
"It's going to be a long, slow process over
three years, but it has already begun," Marron said.

C h i l d C a r e (from page 1)

Romig compared this ordinance to annual
automobile inspections. As a person takes
an automobile to a certified approved state
inspection garage for an annual inspection,
this ordinance will require rental housing to
be inspected by a certified inspKCtion agent.
Currently, Romig is in the process of providing "courtesy inspections" to the University's six recognized fraternities.
While the "courtesy" inspections are not
those required by the new ordinance, they
provide the fraternities with a head start by
establishing some priorities for areas which
will need to be brought up to code in the
formal inspection, according to Romig.
Work on bringing target areas, up to standard could begin early.
Romig said as long as the interest is
shown, he will go out of his way to help
them.
Doug Hockenberry, a member of Tau
Kappa Epsilon who is in charge of building/maintenance at the fraternity, said Romig has "bent over backwards" for them
and is always willing to help.
Courtesy inspections have already been
completed on the Lambda Chi Alpha, Alpha
Chi Rho, Phi Mu Delta and Tau Kappa Epsilon houses. Alpha Sigma Phi and Kappa
Delta Rho are lined up for next week, according to Marron.
Marc Alaimo, the risk manager of Lambda Chi Alpha, said he felt the courtesy inspection done on the house and suggestions
given were "pretty helpful" in preparing for
the actual inspection.
In the first year of inspections, only one
fraternity house, in the first ward, will have

to comply, Romig said.
Most property in which off-campus students live is in the third year of the agreement, according to Dr. Linda Koch, vice
president of student affairs.
While the opportunity for courtesy inspections was presented to sororities, their
situation is different, as sorority houses are
rented on a year-to-year basis from landlords, said Marron.
Fraternity houses are owned by the fraternity chapter, giving them a "very direct tie
to the University," Marron said.
Marron said the occupants of the sororities must come in and ask them to do the
courtesy inspections. While the sororities
are realizing they can, it's a "double-edged
concern," he said.
Sorority rhembers are concerned because
they don't want their landlords to be upset,
but they also want to be safe, Marron said.
By,having a courtesy inspection done,
landlords could find out "as soon as possible" what they have to do to get the building fixed up, Marron said.
The University "cannot and does not" inspect prof>erties, nor does it give out a listing of properties, Koch said. It does, however, share a Chamber of Commerce listing
of landlords who rent to students, which is
not "approved housing," she added.
Any rental property owner who has violated this ordinance will, upon conviction,
be sentenced to pay a $600 fine. If the fine
is not paid, fees of prosecution and imprisonment, not exceeding 90 days, will occur,
according to the ordinance.

is possible that another provider would be
used, but LHCC is recommended because
of "quality, accreditation, expterience and
convenience."
• Buy the courthouse annex, which is located beside LHCC on Susquehanna Avenue, and renovate needed rooms in the
building.
• Establish an agreement with LHCC to
"give priority consideration to Lock Haven
University faculty, staff and students on the
waiting list" until the annex can be used.
This would require that LHCC be expanded
into the annex in order to accommodate the
children of University employees and students as well as those not associated with
the University, said Lou Fabian, director of
planning and evaluation and chairperson of
the Child Care Committee.
• Continue assisting full-time students
who use the Building Blocks and Magic

Years child care centers until a new center
is opened
• Establish a child care facility, which
would be operated by a provider in the area,
on the Clearfield campus after it is decided
whether or not a new campus is approved.
Dr. Dean Phelps, vice president of finance and administration, Pursell and Koch
have asked the Child Care Committee to
see what can be done with these recommendations, Koch said.
Fabian stressed that their plan is not definite and that the committee is still in an "exploratory phase" concerning the possibility
of establishing child care services on or
near campus. "We're looking now more at
the nuts and bolts of it," he said.
The earliest University child care services
would be implemented would probably be
in 1996, according to Fabian.
The question of whether the center would

Nature of Christmas star examined
The annual Ulmer Planetarium Christmas
Show, "Star of Wonder," is currently being
presented in Ulmer Hall.
Designed to place participants in a spiritual mood for the Christmas season, the
show examines the true nature of the star
seen over Bethlehem of Judea by the Wise
Men.
To this day, the star still puzzles theologians, historians and astronomers, who
question if the star was a supernatural event
appearing to commemorate the birth of Jesus. Some historians question whether the
star actually existed.
"Star of Wonder" begins by examining
historical records to try to determine when

Christ was born. Once the date of birth is
established, the planetarium instrument recreates the skies of that time period.
Throughout the presentation, the audience questions whether the star was a comet, a Nova, and eclipse, wandering stars, the
planets or some other astronomical phenomenon.
"Star of Wonder" was presented on Sunday, Nov. 27, and will be presented again
on Dec. 4 and 11 in Ulmer Planetarium.
Two show times are scheduled for each
date, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Seating is general admission and limited.
Doors are closed when seating capacity is
reached. There is no admission fee.

be located on or near the campus is one that
would need to be answered, according to
Koch and Pursell.
There is not much extra space for a child
care facility or outside play area on campus,
Pursell said. "I would have a difficult time
finding it in the academic space we have,"
she said.
"I do not believe there is substantial support for providing our own [center] on campus," Koch said. This possibility, however, will still be considered, she added.
Fabian and Koch also each pointed out
the difficulty in finding out exactly how
many students have young children.
The question which has been answered is
that of what would be required of a child
care center operated by the University. The
center would have to be "feasible, provide
adequate service," and meet state guidelines, Koch said.
"I think we're talking about individuals
who find it difficult to make all ends meet,"
Koch said about establishing a child care
center on or near campus. "And I think it
would definitely help single parents as well
as children who come from families where
both parents need to work."
Some students have commented that the
Building Blocks and Magic Years centers
are not affordable even when the University
covers 30 percent of the cost, so it has been
more advantageous for them to find a "private supplier," she said.

Alleged rape
reported

Twenty years ago — Dec. 3,1974

CLARION - Statewide media attention has been focused on an alleged rape
of a 19-year-old female student at Clarion University of Pennsylvania.
According to a state police release, the
suspect allegedly restrained the victim
with handcuffs and belts. Also, the victim was allegedly slapped and the defendant had intercourse with the victim
against her will.
State police were called to investigate
the incident on Nov. 9 after the victim
approached Clarion University Public
Safety with questions.
Since the alleged assault took place in
Clarion Township, the victim was referred to the Pennsylvania State Police
by Public Safety officials because the site
of the alleged attack was in the jurisdiction of the State Police.
The university has stated that it is concerned about the alleged incident and
will review any student involvement with
the incident.
The State Police report noted that the
suspect is a known white male who is 19
years old. The investigation into this incident is underway by the State Police.
The incident is said to have taken place
in the basement of the Alpha Chi Rho
fraternity house.
The fraternity's president, Mark Blacknell, has stated that the defendant is in no
way affiliated with the Alpha Chi Rho
fraternity.
The defendant rented a basement apartment of the house but is not even a student at Clarion University. Blacknell
also stated that none of the house occupants heard anything during the time the
attack allegedly occurred.

Cats are on the
prowl at MU
MILLERSVILLE — Everyone knows
that the Millersville community has an
over abundance of squirrels. What people do not realize, however, is that there
is an over abundance of another animal as
well. The problem is with cats.
Millersville University senior Kara Filson noticed the problem when she first
moved into the Brookwood Court Apartments over the summer. She noticed that
at least five cats were roaming around
near her apartment.
The problem continued to get worse,
and now, according to Filson, she has
seen at least 25 to 30 cats. Filson feeds
the cats with food that has been donated
to the Adopt-a-Pet organization of Lancaster County.
The major problem with the cats is that
they are dying right before the students'
eyes.
So far, Filson is the only student that
has taken the initiative to try and correct
the cat problem.

Deputy Secretary David Hornbeck, acting for the secretary of education, accepted a resolution by the State College and
University Directors (SCUD) Board increasing room and board costs to students
at state colleges.
The increase was recommended Thursday, Nov. 21 by the board and approved
by Hornbeck the following day.
The resolution requires college presidents to raise the housing bill at least $36
per year but no more than $72 per year.
The increase could take affect as early as
Jan. of 1975, but no later than the opening
of the fall semester next year.
The reason for the increase is two-fold,
according to spokesmen for the Department of Education: (1) the cost of utilities
and other housing costs have been rising
steadily and (2) food services on many
campuses are not able to continue services
under their present contracts.

Fifteen years ago — Dec. 4,1979
Even though Jim Hoffman is a nationally known editor-writer specialist for magazines, he would rather teach than do anything else.
Hoffman, who lives in New York City,
said he likes to come to Lock Haven because the people are more ofwn-minded,
with enthusiasm from students and faculty. He was invited here by Bob Klewans

to talk to a public relations class on Nov.
28.
During his career, Hoffman has been a
member of the faculty of the literature department at The New School for Social Research in New York City for about 18 years.
The institution is for students of all ages,
and its graduate school was founded by exiles from Hitler's Europe.
He teaches literature, novel, short story
and emphasizes techniques of reading. But
he is willing to share experiences of his
journalism career with students as well
He expects his students to work hard and
keep grades high but criticizes their work
severely. TTiis makes them put more effort
into their writing.

Ten years ago — Dec. 4,1984
A series of burglaries hit the campus in
the past week and a half.
Just before Thanksgiving break, a burglar
entered the secretaries' office in Zimmerli
and stole a brand-new $738 typewriter.
According to Dick Hepner, director of
law enforcement and safety at the University, "There was no sign of forceable entry,,
so we feel the burglar has a key."
During Thanksgiving break, four different dormitory mail rooms on campus were
robbed of a total of $180. These burglaries
were all of the same nature as the first, with
no forceable entrance.
Law enforcement has no leads but is
working on preventing this problem from

happening again.

Five years ago — Dec. 1,1989
The two new monuments in front of
Sullivan Hall and next to Stevenson Library have stirred various reactions from
the student body.
Curious students question what they
are and why they are here. One student
was even under the impression the artifact
next to the library was the remains of the
satellite blown off of Robinson Hall during a storm last week.
The majority of students found the
monuments to be very unattractive and
lacking creativity. One student feels the
monuments are a |X}or attempt at beautifying the campus.
As for what they are, students again
formed interesting opinions.
Students found the monument beside
the library to resemble a snow bank, a
huge piece of chalk, a bench and a glacier. Many asked, "Is it done?"
As for the monument in front of Sullivan Hall, for every one student who
thought it was neat looking, four thought
it was ugly.
According to Rebecca Rosser, the collectors of these monuments, Muriel and
Philip I. Berman, donated them to all 14
state universities because they are thought
provoking and cause discussion.

University's Internet system has its limits

by Masa Ueda
Eagle Eye News Reporter_

When he came to the University three
years ago, there was no Internet system as
students on campus now know it, said Donald Patterson, assistant director of academic
computing.
This campus, however, has experienced
major computer network developments in
the last three years, he said. Currently, all
the buildings on campus, with the exception
of the residence halls, are wired and connected with fiber optic cables, and approximately 2^000 students are on the Internet.
Accounts on three major servers can be
obtained by students, faculty, staff and administration on the University's Internet
system. HAWK, which deals with student
records and other related data, is the server
used by the administration.
EAGLE is the communication and e-mail
server for faculty and staff. FALCON
serves the same purpose for students.
FALCON is the "most powerful" server
because of its memory capacity, according
to Patterson. The server's disk has as much
as 2.1 gigibytes of hard drive memory and
80 megabytes of Random Access Memory
(RAM). Regular disks usually have a capacity of only 1 megabyte of memory. All
the e-mail received is saved in this large
FALCON storage system. A limit, however, does exist.

Students should avoidL using all the server's disk space by discarding e-mail they no
longer need, Patterson said. Students are
asked to routinely empty their e-mail folders, he added.
The University continually tries to upgrade its Internet system because "computing never stops evolving" according to Patterson.
The next project will be to "upgrade our
backbones with new routers and switches"
in order to increase the speed of processing,
Patterson said. The University's long-term
vision as far as the computer network is
concerned is to run a video on the network
which would enable students to see each
other on the computer screen while talking
on the Internet, he said. Exactly when this
video can be introduced to the campus' net-

I

work is not certain, according to Patterson.
The Internet system is continually growing and receiving attention. Carnegie Mellon University recently drew controversy
from around the nation when it adopted a
policy which bans its students from circulating obscene materials on the Internet.
There is currently no argument as to whether LHU should adopt such a policy, nor is
there pressure from a higher level to regulate materials on the system, Patterson said.
"It is my p)ersonal opinion, since this is a
university and I believe in the freedom of
speech and expression, there is no need to
regulate them [the materials on the Internet]," he said. "It's just like banning books.
Students themselves should be responsible
for their acts rather than having someone
tell them what to do."

To the Editor,
I witnessed something the other day that
just made my heart jump for joy. As I was
driving down West Church Street toward
KFC, I noticed two young men in a car
talking to an elderly lady at a stop sign. I
was beginning to think that they were giving this poor woman a hard time. To my
surprise, the car pulled over and two Alpha
Chi Rho members stepjjed out of the car

Memories allow people to live forever support your

Welcome back to another week of
Reese's Pieces and more importantly another week of school that will bring us that
much closer to the end of the semester. For
me the closing can not come too soon. The
Thanksgiving holiday was a welcome one,
and a much anticipated vacation. For the
week prior to the respite my thoughts were
consumed with the ideas of turkey-eating,
pumpkin pies, rest, relaxation, family and
friends. Over the break, the idea of friends
became a focus.
For some time now I have known that a
very dear friend of the family has been battling lung cancer. His fight has been a remarkable one. My optimism, perhaps my
arrogance, assured me that he would triumph over the invading cancer. This past
week I have come to accept that this may
not be the case with the most recent prognosis ~ the cancer is consuming the lungs. Do

not misunderstand. I have not lost hope.
More importantly, my friend has not lost
hope and he continues to wage his own personal war. The weight of such a pronouncement of imminent death has made me think;
what of when I die?
As far as my health goes there are far
more days in front of me than I have left behind. One however can never be certain
when or how his life will end. I have in my
life, as I am sure many of you have, lost
family and friends to this greatest mystery
called death. Since the first time someone
close to me passed away I have known
grief. It is a strange emotion. Do I grieve
for myself and the sense of loss I will have
for the rest of my life? It is perhaps the
most asked question of our mortal existence, and yet no one can provide an answer.
I am sad when I think of my uncle laughing at a bawdy joke. I remember the innocence sparkling in Caitlin's eyes as she sat
on the floor and played with my daughter.
Most vivid are the memories of my grandmother. I remember the moment i was told
of her passing. I did not shed a tear. I
would not cry because more than anything I
wanted to be her. She was a strong woman
who was graceful, commanding and loving,
even in the face of death. 1 was not there
when she died. I could not lend the support
that she certainly would have lent me. I
could not say "goodbye."
When I die, will I be alone? When I ask
that question, my mind brings to attention

my daughter Arielle and my wife Sara. I
believe I will surely outlive them barring
the interference of disease or the careless
actions of others. At this point in my life I
truly believe that no matter who is beside
my deathbed when my time comes I will be
alone if Arielle and Sara are not there. I
will be alone if I cannot tell them "goodbye."
This article is not so grim as you may be
thinking. I have said farewell to those I
have lost countless times. I said it every
time I let them know that I loved them.
Goodbye is said with love and friendship.
And it is these memories of love and friendship that are forever.
Those I have lost have found another life
as will my dying friend — this I must believe, otherwise what is the point of existence?
My grief is undeniably very real. The
sense of loss that will be with me until my
final day is nearly tangible. But in all this
loss there is a strange serenity, a bazaar
calm. It is better to have been a part of
their lives and to have shared with them the
events that are now the substance of my
grief than to have never walked, talked or
lived with them at all.
When I die it is my sincere hope that
there are friends and family who will grieve
for me. People who will carry the memory
of me with them. It is this memory that others hold of us that allows us to live forever.
Memory is the immortality of the spirit.
Think about it and be here next week when

Experiences cancel out fear

^
Ah ... Thanksgiving vacation. I thought it
would be a time of peace and quiet for a
few days. Yes, just a few days of having
absolutely nothing to do. No troubles
would occur, and there would be no worries. That didn't turn out to be the case. It
seemed that my whole Thanksgiving vacation was full of troubles and worries.
It all started out pretty cool. I got home,
greeted my pets, and was ready to take off
on my merry way to pick up one of my
friends. As soon as 1 got to my friend's
house I felt this sharp pain erupt in my left
side.
I didn't think anything about it until the
pain started throbbing and giving me a feeling of major discomfort. I was at the [mint
where I was going to burst into tears while I
was keeling over on my left side answering
questions about school from my friend's
parents. My friend was so kind to drive my
car home then, and as soon as I got home
my mother decided to take me to the emergency room
"Wonderful," 1 kept saying the whole

way. "I am spending my first evening at
home in a strange hospital."
One would think the pain in my left side
was bad enough, but the doctors in the
emergency room were taking the longest
time to come check on me. I know my pain
in my side is not a major emergency, but I
didn't see or hear any major emergencies going on in the building. It was so long of a
wait that I think I fell asleep once or twice
during the time I was waiting in the freezing
check-up room. The nurse had to wake me
up just so she could check my blood pressure, which was irrelevant to my pain, but it
is required to do those procedures. As soon
as she checked that she left for another half
an hour.
I was so scared, because I thought at the
rate the hospital was going I was going to
have to spend the night there. One must understand that I never have been inside an
emergency room, and I did not know what
was going to become of me. I had plans for
the next morning, and I was worried that I
would have to cancel them.
They were postfwned to a later date, because my "kind-hearted" doctor (kindhearted meaning too tired to run any tests)
spared me the chance of having major tests
done that night. All I had to do was come
back the next day to take an X-ray test involving I.V.'s. I had to take this test because
they wanted to see if I had a kidney stone.

The possibility of having a needle in my
vein for a long period of time made me
sick, and I just wanted to go to sleep. I
wanted to forget all ahout my pain and Xrays. I wanted to drean. of a world without
pain and suffering.
My father always gave me some words of
wisdom. He always said when I would
whine about waking up at 5 a.m. to go to
high school, "Tina, sometimes in life you
are going to do things you don't enjoy or
don't particularly want to do."
I never firmly believed it. When I was
too tired to wake up for school at 5 a.m. I
usually overslept missing my first class,
which usually was a study hall or a blow-off
that was the equivalent of one. I always
made sure my schedule was like that because I'm not a morning person. I just believed that a person should do whatever
they want when they want, as long as they
are responsible about it.
I am the free-spirited type, despite my apprehensions about certain aspects of life. I
always followed and amended my own set
of rules, if I were to have any rules at all.
My parents never punished or gave me a
curfew. I just had to use good judgment on
certain things, and I had to know my limits.
Well, I had to use good judgment on this
call and amend one of my rules in my game

local bands
by Matt Walsh
Eagle Eye Music Critic_

It's time for everyone to jump for joy and
do cartwheels all across campus, because
the new Pearl Jam album is coming, yipee
yahoo (hint: the sarcasm).
Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing
against Pearl Jam, and I am actually a fairly
big fan of theirs. The problem is that they
happen to be caught in the whirlpool of
overexposure. Get ready for "alternative"
commercial radio and MTV to play it to
death (Why do they call it alternative radio
when all they do is play old pop tunes from
R.E.M. and Billy Idol all the time?).
My big gripe is that there are too many
great bands out that are just as good and
even better than the "big" bands. Hell,
there are even some in our own state, possibly in your hometown. One of these Pa.
bands who are starting to make a name for
themself is AUentown's Endzone, and the
release of their debut CD Punt (Really Big
Records) has already started to cause a minor buzz in the music industry.
Endzone is another one of those bands
that have utilized my philosophy of music.
They listen to many styles of music and
combine all their influences into their own
style of music. The result is an interesting
blend of hardcore, punk, funk, rap, and altemametal.
Songs include the aggressive "Behavior
Problems," the Sick Of It All-ish "Live,"
"Think," the industrial-like "I.M. Robot,"
"A.S.S." and the funky "Worship."
Of all the unsigned/small label artists
from Pennsylvania, I would have to say
that Endzone is one of the most impressive
and has a great chance of making a name
for themselves. If you want to find out for
yourself, Endzone will be one of six Pa.
bands playing in the PUB Multi-Purpose
Room on Saturday iiight from 6 p.m. to
midnight. Other bands include fellow Allentown band Krusifire, Southampton's
Horsy Head, Warminster's Bettygrendels,
Altoona's Proles (featuring LHU's own guitar virtuoso Rod Skelley), and Melrose
Park's Metal Sniff.
1 think it's very important that you stay
involved in your local music scene. These
bands need your help to "make it in tjie
'biz!" So check out this show on Saturday
night and when you go home for Christmas
break, be sure to look around for your local
talent. Bands such as York's buzz band.
Live got their start in garages and tiny
clubs before they made it big. It's up to you
to help make or break your hometown artists. If you don't, then we'll be forced to listen to Pearl Jam and Ace of Base 1,000
times a day for the rest of our lives.
Next week will be the last article of the
semester (sob sob.) This year marked the
10th anniversary and unfortunately the
ending of one of the greatest and definitely
most underrated bands of all time. Their
entire discography was re-released earlier
this year, and I will give you the brief history of the greatest band you never heard.

Choosing a safe place for your money
by Christine Allen
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
As college students we start to use our
freedoms more, and with these freedoms
come bills. They can be settled with a
money order although credit card companies prefer checks. Of course if it bounces, then you need a money order for that
month.
Some students still have the money
power of their parents behind them to pay
for what they need and to settle their accounts. Yet, the majority of students have
jobs and an income of their own. They
can leave their money under their mattresses or put it into a bank. Banks are
everywhere and without them, we could
not write a check or keep our finances
safe.
In Lock Haven, there are four immediate choices in banks. The banks chosen to
compare are based on location and cost to
the student. They are Mellon Bank, Commonwealth Bank, Lock Haven Savings
Bank and Northern Central Bank.
First there is Mellon Bank. This bank
has two locations, one at 104 E. Main St.
and another on the corner of Bellefonte
and Church street. The MAC machines

the retuming of your voided checks. On the
other hand. Northern Central charges $4 a
month if you let them keep the used checks
and $6 a month if you want the checks returned in the mail.
Lock Haven Savings basic checking offers free checking without the service
charges but you need to keep a minimum of
$200 in the account or you will be charged
a $4 service charge that month.
You can also buy your checks from the
banks and get different designs rather than
the typical blue, green and yellow checks
that the banks offer. The prices of these
checks may vary, but the prettier you want
the more it costs. Checks can be purchased
from an insert found in newspapers for a
cheaper price of $4.95 for 200 checks. The
price goes up if you order more, but usually
it is under $20.
A savings account is also important for
college studentst. It gives you extra money
in times of need and is helpful for Christmas. Each of these banks offer savings accounts. With this type of account there is a
set balance you need to keep or another service charge will have to be paid.
The money in the savings account builds
interest, and even though it is only a few
cents a month extra, it can add up over the

years. The more money in the account the
more you get back In interest.
Mellon's set balance is $100 a month. If
you go under that amount you pay a $2
service charge that month. At Commonwealth you need $100 a month also. Under that amount you must pay $1.50 service charge. At Lock Haven Savings you
need to keep a $50 balance per month or
pay a 50 cent service charge. With North
ern Central, if you go under $100 you are
also charged a 50 cent service charge.
The banks offer a variety of hours that
accommodate people's schedules. Each of
these banks offer a drive-through window
at one of their locations. With experience
you will leam that It Is quicker to park
your car and walk In.
The most Interesting bank location Is that
of Lock Haven Savings. Their second location is in Scot's Lo Cost and is helpful
to those who have the quick one-stop-andshop in mind.
All of the banks arefriendlyand customer oriented. If you are willing to keep
$200 in your account then Lock Haven
Savings is your best bet. If you prefer no
minimum balance then Mellon Bank
would be the better choice.

a needle in the vein wasn't as bad as it
seemed, and I am no longer afraid of such
tests.
It was definitely not a relaxing Thanksgiving breaj^. Between trips to the hospital
and Christmas job hunting, I was always
running around like a crazed woman. I
came to find out that my father is right, and
I had to do things I do not necessarily want

to do. I am glad I did something I did not
want to do for once, because I discovered
that one is not going to die of pain from a
needle. Doing this made me a stronger
person, and I could handle it If it should

watched movies on television where these
people would be close to their death bed

It just looked ghastly the way these people
were viewed. I always associated I.V. needles with being lifeless, and I didn't want
any association with the whole procedure.
I was pretty successful at keeping myself
away from these needles until nature decided I needed to have a kidney stone. I had
to break my rule so I could see if a kidney

are also located close to campus. One is located in the Parsons Union Building, the
second is in town on the comer of Bellefonte and Church streets and the third is in
Mill Hall at the Ames Plaza.
The second bank is Commonwealth Bank.
It is located at 25 E.t Main St. This bank
has a MAC machine located outside its office.
The third bank is Lock Haven Savings,
which also has two locations. One is located at 4 W. Main St. and the other is located
in Mill Hall at Scot's Lo-Cost.
The last bank is Northern Central. It is located in Mill Hall on Hogan Boulevard and
135 Woodward Avenue in Dunnstown. It
has one MAC machine at the Dunnstown
office.
All of these banks offer a basic checking
account without requiring a minimum balance. The Mellon and Commonwealth
banks allow you to write up to six free
checks per month. After the first six you
are then charged 60 cents by Mellon for
each additional check written and Commonwealth charges $1 for extra checks.
The banks have a service charge the customers must pay monthly. Mellon charges
$2 a month and Commonwealth charges $6
a month. This service charge also includes

The doctors wanted to see If it could have
been something worse, and they ran the
test with me fearing extreme pain from the

Clark encourages respect for others
by Alysia Moticha
Eagle Eye Features Editor_
Educator and lecturer, Joe Clark spoke to an attentive audience about getting the most out of life on Wednesday, Nov. 16 in Price Performance Center. He did not waste time with niceties. Instead, with his booming, authoritative voice, Clark took control and entertained with clever anecdotes.
An important part of Clark's speech dealt with the question ~ what is our
purpose in life? "Your purpose is not to make a living, but to make a significant life," he said.
Be yourself and do not emphasize what others think, Clark said. "Those
that like me, thank you," he laughed. "Those that don't, have a nice, damn
day." It might be lonely out there by yourself, but at least you are standing
up for what you believe is right, he said.
Being the best for yourself is what it all comes down to, but do not forget
about consideration for others. Taking time out to treat others as you would
want to be treated will last forever, while those things done for only yourself
win follow you to the grave, Clark said. "Your destiny is not to rule, but to
serve," he added.
"It's not a tragedy to not reach your goal," Clark stated. "It's a tragedy
not to have one." Set some values for yourself and keep striving to be the
best you can be.
"Have faith in God," Clark said. "If you do, you are guaranteed to have a
great life forever."

Torres a last minute entry...

Weaver loses first bout in controversial decision
by Todd Yocum
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Todd Stiner, the 1994 National Collegiate
Boxing Association's (NCBA) National
runner-up, was the first Bald Eagle boxer to
enter the ring at the prestigious New York
Athletic Club. In the first NYAC Collegiate Boxing Invitational, before a capacity
crowd, the lanky 147-pounder from Clearfield, Pa., won a clear-cut decision over Antolio Yabara from Santa Clara (California)
University.

"The dean [Janet Gross] told them [the
English department] to cut my class," Masembe said.
Gross, upon reviewing the English Department's course selections, said only two
of the three seminars could be offered in the
spring, according to Dr. Douglas Campbell,
English department chair. The English department voted to cut Masembe's class
based on seniority, according to Campbell.
"It is a common way of doing it," he said,
"provided the professor is qualified to teach

it."

Masemt)e feels this cut is discriminatory
for two reasons. First, there will be no African American classes offered for the entire
1994-95 school year, she said. Second, Masembe said the Novels of the American
West class is being offered after it has not
been offered for the past 10 to 15 years. In
1992 Masembe wanted to teach a playwriting class, but the University administration
denied it with the reasoning that it had not
been offered in a long time, according to
Masembe.

"This seminar is, no doubt, a very valuable
and exciting course, but if the Dean had
treated me as an equal to my white colleagues, she would not have canceled my,
Playwriting class and permitted my colleague to offer a seminar that clearly has not
been taught in a long time," Masmebe wrote
in a Nov. 21,1994 letter to Willis.
"This is retaliation for complaining
against discrimination," Masembe said in a
Nov. 29 telephone interview.
"As of right now we are planning to file
another complaint because of the continuation of discriminatory treatment," Ezold said.

After investigation, the PHRC will offer a
decision on the case. If the Commission believes there is merit to the complaints, they
will offer a solution to remedy the situation.
Dr. Mary Pursell, vice president of Academic Affairs said. If the Commission finds
there is no merit to the complaints, the filer
can take the situation to court.
"Our hope is that it will be resolved,*
Ezold said. "It is a long way from being resolved and we intend to pursue it aggressively."

The Lady Eagles are undefeated to this
point in the season, and are swimming toward a playoff spot in the PSAC-West.
With crushing victories against PSACWest rivals Edinboro (145-115) and Mansfield (200-86) already behind them, the
team went into a competition with fellow
West rival Slippery Rock on Nov. 19 confident and unified.

Lock Haven's swimmers posted eight first

Team led by talented youth...

Bald Eagles begin as hopeful underdogs
by K^vin Kovac
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Judging by the early returns, this year's
University men's basketball team might
perform at a level that belies its players' extremely young ages.
The fresh-faced Bald Eagles, though 7568 losers in their Wednesday night contest
at Millersville University, have looked good
in each of their games this season
Their current 3-2 overall record, which
includes wins over Allentown, Baptist
Bible of Pa., and Lindenwood, is strong evidence of that.
What's important to remember about
Head Coach Dave Blank's troops is this:
every game is a learning experience for
them.
Only three players on the team's 14-man
roster are upperclassmen, so there's a lot of
maturing ahead for most of the Lock Haven
Eagles. And make no mistalce, the four
sophomores and seven freshmen will cer-

opener that it would take these tough early
games to help push the gritty, gutty Eagles
along.
"We will probably be the underdog in our
conference games (because of youth) in the
first half of the year," he said. "But with the
right kind of maturation, that could change
in the second half."
Thus, Blank, who is in his seventh season
as Lock Haven's head basketball coach, has
realistic visions about what he expects
from the '94-'95 campaign.
"Our goal is to be a winning team and we
will take whatever else comes," said Blank,
whose 96-73 record makes him the University's all-time winningest coach.
"At the end of the season, we want to feel
good about the fact that we played well
with all these freshmen and sophomores."
The Bald Eagles next game is scheduled
for Wednesday night at 8 p.m. in Thomas
Field House.
They'll face 1-80 rival,
Bloomsburg, in another non-division PSAC
matchup.

tainly have the chance to grow old quickly.
Coach Blank will call on many of the
youngsters to make major contributions by
putting them on the court during prime-time
moments.
So far. Blank's kids have displayed some
talent. An underclassman has led the team
in scoring in each game, and the top four
point averages belong to sophomores Chad
McKinney (14.2 ppg), and Michael Shue
(10.0), and freshmen Chris Daley (14.0)
and Dan Welker (10.0).
The Bald Eagles' maturation process was
probably helped along by Wednesday's
game.
Playing against an undefeated PSAC-East
team on their home court, the Lock Haven
squad held a five-point edge late before ultimately going cold down the stretch.
Wednesday's performance surely didn't
surprise Blank, who said prior to the season

LHU wrestler sees sports in a different light

Since coming to LHU, Salomone has
wrestled in three matches — two last year
and one this year.
When Salomone is not busy practicing or
concentrating on his studies (he is a history
major), he likes to listen to other sports on
television or the radio.
"Football is my second favorite sport next
to wrestling," he says.
Salomone enjoys the hard-hitting, bonecrunching, nail-biting college and professional football games, listening to them on
television or the radio.
"The announcers on TV explain everything in detail, so I'm able to kind of figure
out what's going on," he says. "I do like
listening to them on the radio a little better,
because they explain things a bit better," he

admits.
When asked if there was an athlete that he
admires, Salomone says he likes players
like Reggie White.
"It seems like he always gives 100 percent," says Salomone. "He's just the kind
of person who I feel would never give up.
"That's the kind of athlete I like," he
says.
Many of Salomone's teammates feel that
way as well - about Salomone.
"When we first met him, a lot of the guys
thought he was pretty cool and that what he
was doing was great," says Evans. "Some
of the guys were like, 'Damn, if I was
blind, there is no way I'd be wrestling.'"

"We beat ourselves with our lack of crucial free-throw shooting," he said.
"It was a tough game to lose, but we're not
going to look back and let that loss haunt
us," Scarfo said.
The Lady Eagle's next contest came the
following day against Columbia Union.
Things finally fell into place for LHU on
this afternoon.
The game was a mismatch from the tip
and the Haven commanded the game, walking away with a 112-56 win.
Furthermore, the 62 points scored by the
half, and the 112 for the game were both
school records.
The shooting drothers from the previous
day were gone as all 14 Lady Eagles scored
en route to a combined shooting percentage
of 53.
Troyan was the high scorer with 21.
Sophomore Karen Alkins complemented
Troyan's performance with 16 of her own.
Sophomore Tori Mello took charge under
the boards, grabbing 12 rebounds.
Last week, the Haven traveled to Erie, Pa,
to take on powerful Gannon University.
Gannon prevailed 75-46.
Troyan was once again a force with 14
points in the Gannon game. Junior Natalie
Jackson stepped up and scored seven points
to go along with three rebounds in only 11
minutes of play.
This weekend the Lady Eagles will travel
to West Chester University to participate in
the Dial Classic. As last year's winners of
the Dial Classic, LHU will be looking to defend their title this weekend.

Missy Carlson, the Lady Eagles'
only retuming starter from last

Bald Eagles outmaneuver Nebraska...

Mat men look to defeat the Hawkeyes
by Dan Evans
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter
Last Saturday, the Bald Eagles hosted the
prestigious Mat-Town tournament.
The Bald Eagles grapplers needed wins
from two of the three finalists to overtake
national powerhouse Nebraska for second
place. Nebraska is ranked ninth in the
country.
The Haven got those necessary victories
from Scott Goodale, 158, and Mike Guerin,
177.
"It is very prestigious for a school the size
of Lock Haven to finish ahead of a big
school like Nebraska," said Head Coach
Carl Poff. "It took a total team effort to top
Nebraska."
LHU had a strong showing in the tournament, placing wrestlers in nine out of 10
weight classes.
The top three finishers at Mat-Town were
Penn State, LHU and Nebraska.

Other teams represented at the tournament
were N.C. State University, Slippery Rock
University, Syracuse University, Rider College, Army and Morgan State University.
Tomorrow, the Bald Eagles will face their
toughest opponent of the season when they
host the Hawkeyes from the University of
Iowa.
Iowa, coached by wrestling legend Dan
Gable, is looking to reposition themselves
as NCAA champions after being knocked
off last year.
"In five of 10 weight classes, we will be
very, very competitive with Iowa," said
LHU Assistant Coach Rocky Bonomo.
"Being able to bring the number one team
in the country to Thomas Fieldhouse is a
great reflection on our program and shows
the respect that Coach Poff has earned."

"I hope we fight hard and compete with
Iowa," said Poff. "We can match up, but
Iowa does bring two retuming national
champions at 150 and 190."
Despite what happens tomorrow, Poff
feels that this year's team "is the best team
we've had in the five years since (Bonomo)
and I have been here."
The Bald Eagles have national qualifiers
returning to the mat for them in the 118,
134, 150, 158, 167 and 177 weight classes.
In addition, Joe Eaton, who was one
match away from competing in nationals
last year, returns at the heavyweight for the
Haven.
LHU is also looking for strong performances by Mike Rogers and Brian Leitzel,
both 142, who gained some valuable experience last year.
"This is the most talent and experience
that we've had in the room at one time,"
said Poff.
