"People thought it was weird,
but he said he wanted to disarm

Eagle Eye Features Editor
For the most part, the selection from which to

choose the next leader of our country has been nar-

rowed down to two primary candidates, our current
vice president and a former president's son. While
Al Gore and George Bush Jr. have nearly closed
out the presidential race, the majority of prospective voters aren't even watching, particularly the
vast sea

ofpotentially powerful students ofhigher
education.
College students have been receiving an increasingly bad rap for their lack of participation in
the electoral process, which has ultimately caused
candidates to ignore their interests in campaigns.
According to statistics, the estimated voter
turnout in 1998 was only 15 percent among 18 to
24-year-olds. Politicians and campaign contributors have interpreted low numbers at the polls to
mean that this age group simply doesn't care about
the government or the future of the country.
While it's true that the stereotypical college student is more aware of their blood alcohol level than

Perceived ignorance on political subjects coupled with an overwhelming array of information
scares many qualified, would-be voters into isolation from the political arena.
When given the resources and direction to
make the connection between government and
what occurs at Lock Haven, young voters have the
ability to wield great control in the presidential
election.
Making the connection first requires a general
knowledge ofthe issues, followed by research of
those specifically ofinterest. When examining the
issues, play the role of a skeptic and critically evaluate the source ofall information.

increase in school violence. In addition, it is estimated that 2.7 million Americans are addicted I
to drugs. Policy makers agree on the universal goal ofcrime prevention but diverge on whether I
the best means to achieve it are to focus on punishment or rehabilitation. Points to be consid- I
ered include the death penalty, medical marijuana and parental responsibility.

Economy and Employment: Despite the steady growth ofthe American economy, low infla- I
tion and low unemployment, some economic experts feel that the overwhelming run ofthe bull I
market is teetering on delicate ground and could easily crash without careful moderation. Be- I
sides the obvious impact of the job market on graduation bound college students, equality in the I
workplace continues to be discussed in politics concerning affirmative action, minimum wage, 1
government regulation and unions.
Education: It's the future and a primary concern due to studies that reveal problems with the I
quality of American education in comparison with other developed nations. The debate address- I
es the proper role of federal, state and local government and the responsibilities of parents and §
teachers in private, parochial, religious or home school programs. The level of funding and I
standards for teacher testing are ofparticular interest to higher education.
Environment: The major issues concerning the environment, such as global warming and stan- I
dards, have been hounded by candidates in previous elections and seem to be on the back burn- |
er in 2000. However, as new scientific data surfaces, the issue of environmental protection I
promises to emerge, affecting industry as well as the national park system.

Gay Rights: While the role of genetics in sexual orientation remains ambiguous, the debate I
over whether homosexuals should be protected by federal civil rights laws continues. Of spe- I
cial interest are issues such as same-sex marriages, homosexual adoption and hate crimes.

Oscars night entertains despite length
You've got to give them credit for trying. They
did, after all, cut out Debbie Allen and those insipid dance numbers that plagued the Dorothy
Chandler Pavilion like so many swarms of ravaging locusts on the Egyptians. But once again,
like every year before it, the ceremony was just too
freakin' long.
That said, I couldn't really find much to harp
about with the 72nd Annual Academy Awards, and,
believe me, I looked. I haven't been a huge fan of
Oscar in recent years, not since that boat movie virtually robbed "L.A. Confidential" of almost any
notable recognition in 1997.
I was afraid that the most prestigious film
awards in cinema's history were being eclipsed by
box office numbers and turning into nothing more
than a high-school caliber popularity contest.
When "Shakespeare in Love" (admittedly a
great movie) beat out "Saving Private Ryan" (an
admittedly better movie) for Best Picture last year,
and "The Thin Red Line" (a better movie than both
films) didn't even have a
chance, I was ready to give up.
This year, though, Oscar really seemed to have
his act together. The nominees in almost every major category were a pretty even mix ofcritical favorites from both mainstream and independent
film. They even cast aside their stodgy white conservative mantle long enough to nominate the hilariously irreverent "Blame Canada" for Best Original Song. The performance ofthat tune, a noticeably censored version sung by Robin Williams,

was one ofthe high points ofthe show for me.

ONE MORE TIME BEFORE YOU GO
Goretti Murutu, a housewife in Chingola,
Zambia, asked the judge at her divorce trial to order her husband, John Sakapenda, to have sexual
relations with her one last time before ending the
marriage. She said it was a tribal tradition.
Sakapenda was most reluctant to do this. He
testified that his wife has been out oftheir home
for months, and he feared that she may have contracted some horrible sexually transmitted disease
during that time. The judge granted the divorce,

Media Madness:
YOU THINK YOU KNOW SOMEONE
Trevor Tasker, a young man from England, fell
in love over the Internet with a 30-something lady from South Carolina who he wanted to meet in
person and then marry.
It turns out that his light-o-love is, in fact,

dead body in a freezer for more than a year while
she looted his bank accounts.

will probably have to wait a little while longer in
the wings. However, the studios have also begun
making edgier films, and, in the future, this may
dictate the kind of decisions the Academy makes
about its nominations.
So, to the Academy, I say this: You've gotten
my attention back for now, but you're still far from
perfect. If "Mission To Mars" gets nominated for
Best Picture next year, I'm gone for good.

but refused the wife's request for one more night
ofpassion. She wept.
A LITTLE VACATION FROM THE WIFE

His family went into a panic when Jack Hacker, 79-year-old Alzheimer's patient from New
York City, walked out the door and didn't come
back. They needn't have worried.Turns out he
took off for Delray Beach, Fla., because, he says,
he wanted to get away from his wife's nagging.
IT'S JUST CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
A man broke into a home in Midgeville, Ga.,
cutting himself on a window, and, for some reason, stole the front doorbell.
A routine check of the local hospital turned up
a man with a bad cut on his forearm and a doorbell in his pocket. Police put two and two together and locked him up.

their clothes, dance erotically and perform other
services for their clients for the right price.
Several wives and girlfriends became suspicious oftheir men's frequent visits to that particular barber shop, and informed the cops who dutifully raided the joint.They arrested eight people
including the 28-year-old owner and a client who
were naked and involved in something other than
good grooming.
IT'S NOT JUST A JOB,
IT'S A LIFESTYLE
A burglar broke into two homes in Madison,

a shower, shaved and fixed himself a sandwich
before fleeing into the night.

AN UNRELATED DEVELOPMENT?

Steven Spielberg's extended "family" may be
getting smaller. A grand jury in Fairfax, Va., has

indicted a 27-year-old Iranian man for allegedly

posing as the director's 16-year-old nephew.
Anoushirvan D. Fakhran, who allegedly
played that role for a year at a Virginia high
school, was charged with forgery and "uttering
false documents."
Fakhran legally changed his name to Jonathan
Spielberg in 1997, authorities said. Officials admitted him to the Catholic Paul VI High School
and even let him park his BMW, with its
"SPLBERG" vanity plates, in the headmaster's
space after a woman reportedly claimed that
Spielberg had a filmmaking nephew who was
shooting ac movie in the area and wanted to study
ol life firsthand.
high-school
Officials say Fakhran's scheme ended when
school officials tried to reach his parents by calling Spielberg's DreamWorks SKG, only to learn
the director had no nephews in Fairfax City.
A spokesman for the real Spielberg could not
be reached for comment.

had planned, Willard decided to
take a different route. They
crossed over the Cascade Mountains and followed the road to
California. As they stood on a
cliff overlooking the wide blue
Pacific Ocean, Willard gulped a
big breath of the salty sea air.
The idea of staying in California
flashed briefly through his mind.
Then he remembered
the
promise he had made to his
mother before he left.
"I
promise with all my heart, mother, I'll come back."
They did return to Pennsylvania, and each boy eventually
married and settled down with a
family of his own. Willard had
gained a new respect for his father and a different kind of admiration for his uncle. The lessons
he learned from his uncle about
family and keeping promises
would stick with him all his life.
The twin brothers united
once again when Ernest came
back to Pennsylvania for a visit.
It would be the last time they
would see each other. Uncle
Ernest never achieved his dream
ofmoving to California, but remained on the old homestead in
Cashmere until his death in
1947. Harvey lived another seven years after that and died in
1954 at the age of 75.
Now, as Willard faced his
own death, he was comforted by
the fact that he was blessed with
caring parents and a loving wife
and family. The love that carried
him through life would be with
him in death. He learned from
his father how to be a responsible family man, and from his uncle he learned how to dream.
But the greatest gift he got from
the two brothers was the lesson
of forgiveness and deep abiding
love for his fellow man.

During the summers, I annually migrate north to the state of
Maine. Here I coach baseball at
a summer camp. My summer
days are usually jam-packed
with boys throwing bean balls at
me and traveling to play in tourMy busy schedule does not
keep me from the things that I
love to do most, Small Mouth
Bass and Brook Trout fishing.
There is no better place to be on
trie east coast for either ofthese
two species than the great state
ofMaine.
Before my first trip to Maine
I did a lot ofresearch on where
to fish and most ofthe articles I
read pointed to one place in particular: Baxter State Park in
north central Maine.
This extremely large and
very remote state park is most
famous for its Mount Katahdin.
Its 5,280 foot peak towers over
the park and is undoubtedly the
park's main attraction. By the
way, the trout fishing is also
good.
I spent approximately three
days in and around the park hiking and camping, but I spent
most ofthe time fishing.
The landscape is littered
with ponds ranging from a few
yards wide to a mile or so wide.
I was used to fishing Brook
rrout in little mountain streams
lere in Pennsylvania, I never
t about fishing ponds for
Trout. I was very mistaken.
It didn't matter if I used
small spoons, spinners or top
water plugs... the trout were big,
the trout were numerous, and the
trout were easy to catch. I caught
several trout in the 12 to 17 inch
range. Most, however, were in
the 10 inch range.
I caught more trout than I
could count and finally had to
quit fishing for the week as the
weather had taken a turn for the
worse.
After fishing, I spent many
hours wildlife watching. North
central Maine is famous for its
large numbers of moose and
black bears. I never saw any
bears, but the moose were easily
seen. They would wade alongside of me while I fished and

didn't seem to care that I was in
their pond. One word ofcaution:
the moose are big and friendly,
the black flies are also big but
are very unfriendly.
When I didn't have time to
make the long drive to northern
Maine, 1 simply walked out of
my cabin door.
The camp where I work is located on a 200-acre peninsula in
the middle of a private lake. The
lake was full of trophy Small
Mouth Bass and Chain Pickerel.
Usually about three times a
week the loons that inhabit the
lake would wake me to make my
trip to the water's edge. I would
glide across the water throwing
spinnerbaits and rapalas, easily
catching about 10 to 12 bass and
a few pickerel. The bass fishing
was incredible.
Very rarely would I land a
bass under 15 inches in length.
Often bass over 18 and 20 inches found their way into my canoe. The fishing was excellent
and the bass were huge, to say
the least.
I also managed to make a canoe trip down the Upper St.
Croix River in northeastern
Maine (along the border of
Canada). I was offered the trip
by one of my fellow counselors
who operated the outdoor adventure program. He knew that 1
loved to fish and invited me
along.
We canoed for two days on
the river and I would estimate
that we caught over 200 Small
Mouth Bass. They were not very
big, but the River Bass are excellent fighters and made for a
great trip.
Like most trips in Maine, we
also encountered a few moos$
that happened to wander a little
too close to our canoe for comfort. Bald Eagles and Osprey
abounded and made for interesting viewing. I had a lot of fun on
the trip. More importantly, I
think the kids had more fun than
idid.
I have had great outdoor adventures on my trips to Maine
and I hope that I have many
more to come.
Start planning your next ad
venture. You don't have to travr
el to far away places. Pennsylvania has its own adventures, so
why don't you get out there and
discover one for yourself.

Dupay knew something the

the knowing smile of someone

Ruggers advance in Nationals
The rugby team battled Johns Hopkins University in the opening round of regional play in the
U.S. Collegiate National Playoffs and won 39-12.
Starting with a blistering pace, Lock Haven came
out on fire, scoring the first try of the game within
the opening five minutes.
Pinning Johns Hopkins deep in their own territory by winning several rucks, Chuck Herling took
the ball and ran it into the try zone from five-meters out. Mike Landis converted the kick and the
score was quickly 7-0.
Colin Hill, who has recently
rejoined the team after spending
a year studying abroad in Ausscoring after excellent back line
play put the ball in his hands on
the far sideline. Hill found the
try zone again only minutes af-

to

17-0.

Scott McGuire blocked a kick

and touched the ball down for what looked like an
apparent score, but the referee called a knock-on
and a five-meter scrum was awarded to Johns Hopkins.
Tom Baughman got in on the action as well, as
great support play and textbook passes allowed
him to get to tbe outside and score from about ten
meters out. Baughman touched the ball down in
the try zone with his patented head-first slide.
Baughman didn't do any more scoring after suffering a knee injury.
A few minutes before halftime, Sean Vuocolo
scampered in to score his first try of the season and
Lock Haven found themselves with a 29-0 lead at

time of 1:59 7 while James Eagler took third place with a time

Kicking off the 2000 season,
the outdoor track teams compeled at the Clarion University Early Bird Invitational last Saturday,
claiming 12 individual champions between both the men's and
women's squads.
Sophomore Rob Mortensen,
coming off of an All-American
performance at the NCAA National Indoor Track and Field
Championships in the mile, continued to run away from the
competition last weekend.
Mortensen won the 1,500
meters with a time of 4:01.81,
nearly five seconds in front of
teammate Mike Gomes, who finished in second place in 4:06.43.
Mortensen also took firstplace honors in the 5,000 meters
in 15 41 2
Senior' Steve Moyer continued to dominate in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, an event that he
was an All-American in last season. Moyer won the race with a
PSAC-leading time of 9:34.48.
Despite not running their
normal events, the rest of the distance runners also fared well.

Both Stout and Garcia have
several Ail-Americans in their
weight class. However, both have
finished the year very strong.
Stout, a clever southpaw, and
a Lock Haven native and former
local athlete, has won four ot his
five bouts this season. Stout is already being compared to a young
Dave Fields. Garcia, the aggressive former Marine, has won six
of his last seven bouts and has the
ability to make the finals.
"It will take at least two national champions and several finalists to win the team title," said
Lock Haven coach Dr. Ken Cox.
"One of our goals this'season has
been to remain in the upper echelon of collegiate boxing. However, our primary goal is to get 2-3
boxers into the finals and crown
at least one individual chartipi-
