Ne w s
Sega is only relief for summer students
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Editor in Chief_
Students being bored in Lock Haven is
hardly a new concept. But during the Fall
and Spring semesters the Haven Activities
Council (HAC) sponsors events to entertain
the students and give them something to do
besides hiding in their dorm rooms watching TV.
But what hapfjens in the summer? Are
those events still taking place? So far in the
four weeks that classes have been in session, the following events have taken place:
"The Lost World" was sponsored at the
Roxy Theater in town twice and "Scream"
has been shown twice on 16mm film.
Junior Accounting major Steve Leitzel
is taking classes to help his grade point
average, but he hasn't been satisfied with
the social output in Lock Haven. "I basically play Sega games when I'm not studying,"
he said. "I'd die without my Sega!"
Carol Latronica, Associate Dean of
Students is not surprised by the lack of
activities on campus.
"I know there's nothing to do," she said.
"The problem is telling the right people
what you want to do."
The "right people" would be HAC.
HAC does not meet during the summer, but
Rene Ashlock, Director of Student
Activities commented on the lack of events
in the first session.
"We can't bring in acts during the summer because they cost too much," she said.
Ashlock did point out, however, that the
PUB has been open every night until 8 p.m.
and it remains empty. The game room is
also open and it too remains empty.
HAC sponsored trips to Millbrook
Playhouse last summer and no one signed
up. Students can still pick up free tickets to
Millbrook at the Vice-presidents office in
Sullivan Hall.
Students still remain ademant that there
are not enough activities on campus.
Sophomore Elementary Education major,
Shonnie McDonald wishes she had more to
do.
She went with friends to the swimming
pool in Zimmerli for what was supposed to
be a free swim sponsored by the Student
Cooperative Council (SCC), but they were
kicked out in favor of camp children.
"The activties we are supposed to have,
we don't have anymore because there's a
bunch of little kids here," she exclaimed.
That creates another question: Who gets
priority on school property? The students
who are here to receive a degree, or the
camp children?
A similar debate was raised in the last
spring issue of the Eagle Eye. Tracksters
have had continuous scheduling problems
with the use of the University track because
the area high school and junior high teams
have scheduled their practices and events on
the track in exchange for a donation, by the
Keystone Central School District, to its creation two years ago.
Students who are coming to the
University for the second session will be

pleased to hear that HAC has many activities slated for the five-week session.
HAC-sponsored trips include: Six
Flags, a Phillies game, Hershey Park and a
trip to State College to see fireworks on the
Fourth of July.
Movies "The Devil's Own", "Grosse
Pointe Blank", and "Sling Blade" will each
be shown twice during the month of July.
So what happens to the students who are
up here for the first summer session?
"There's only about thirty to forty students
here, so there's little interest to plan any
activities for the first sesion," replied
Ashlock.
Sophomore Early Education major.
Traces Black is not bothered by the lack of
events. "I have too much studying to do so

Student orientation will be
taking place all next week

It is that time of the year again when
most of the freshman students who will be
joining us this Fall come a few months early
to get a taste of what life will be like on our
scenic campus.
In a simple matter of 24 hours, those students will be shown everything from dorm
life to social life to a taste of the
University's fine Bentley cuisine.
The future endeavorous students will
also get a look at life in downtown Lock
Haven and the surrounding communities.
Courtesy of several changes made to the
orientation structure last year, parents will
be more involved with the events during
orientation. The program "Metamorphosis"
will now be shown to parents as well as students.
New students will have obvious advantages that most students at LHU did not start
out with. For instance, the one-card system
will lessen the time orientation students will
have to stand in line.
Previous students had to stand in line
twice; once for their Bentley card and a second time for their ID. The new Ea§leCard
is easier and faster.
According to Carol Latronica, Dean of
Student Affairs, 400 to 500 incoming students will visit the campus next week, out of
700 to 750 total new students.
"They're here for a 24-hour period,"
said Latronica. "We try to make them feel
more comfortable with the campus."

Alumni fashion show proves underwear still in fashion
by Cynthia Graham
Eagle Eye News Editor_
Underwear, underwear and more underwear. Is this a fashion trend leading into the
millennium? Well, not for everyone, but
perhaps for popular clothing collector Doris
Darnell, who presented her Fashions from
the Boudoir show, sponsored by the
University's Foundation Office at Sloan
Theatre on Sunday.
According to Darnell, a major part of the
show is underwear and night gowns from
past eras. She said everything the models
wear are clothing that were given, to her by
friends and family.
As early as age 19, Darnell began collecting clothing and she has shown her collection to audiences all over the United
States and while on Euro[)ean and Caribbean
cruzes.
What is most unique about Darnell's

To make a long story even longer, after
she found out that she was not going to be
married, the heart broken young lady packed
everything she made for the advent of married life, into a chest and never opened it
again. For the remainder of her life, she
existed as a hermit.
At the time of her death, this lady left her
house and everything in it to her lawyer,
which happned to be the husband of a
University employee. The employee then
turned the chest over to Darnell, who was
the first person to open the chest since it had
been securely locked away many, many
years before.
In 1979, Darnell started showcasing her
collection of vintage clothing in a performance she called Centuries of Elegance.
Since then, she has done 80 shows, consisting of 12 different themes, and has been on
11 cruz ships into exotic countries. She does
not have a full time staff of models, nor does
the elderly collector, exhibitor and raconteur
have stage technicians in charge of the overall production of her shows. Instead,
Darnell spearheads the entire operation with
her husband and uses women who are willing to model her clothing at each stop she
makes.
Other features of Darnell's collection
include sporting clothes and mens night
wear from past centuries. However, she said
it is hard to convince men to model sleep
wear.
Darnell said she also has slides of fragile
dresses and other pieces of aged clothing
that are too delicate to be worn.
The last segment of the fashion show
was known as what Darnell calls an
Edwardian Striptease. This was well

shows, however, is the fact that she incorporates stories of the women who actually
wore the clothing into the presentation. She
told tales of lovers and wives of elite
European and American men. There were
stories of women who were filthy rich and
spoiled rotten, who only bought clothing
from the most exquisite stores and boutiques
in Paris.
Darnell's indepth account of a particular
woman's mysterious life was quite interesting. This lady was scheduled to be married,
but on the day of the wedding, her husbandto-be jilted her! Prior to the wedding, this
woman sewed many beautiful dresses and
sleep ware for her new life. She created a
beautiful white, two-piece night gown set
specifically for the eventful wedding night
ahead of her.

received by the audience. Darnell said this
segment of the Boudoir came aboiif when
she was asked to perform the show at the
80th anniversary of the Philadelphia
Orchestra. Members of the planning committee for the celebration asked Da.nell to
incorporate something into her show to
excite the crowd. Darnell decided on the
striptease, a conservative stripping of night
clothes that showed underwear of that particular era, and it has since become a permanent part of her show.
Darnell says she plans to donate her
clothing to the Shippensburg Fashion
Archives, which has asked her to put her
things into their museum.

long awaited movies coming out in the next
couple of weeks.
There's a chill over Gotham City tonight
as "Batman and Robin" opens in theaters.
A new nemesis has unleashed a cold

one hope. Batman. Summoned by the glowing moon of the Bat-signal hovering against
the night sky. Batman, played this go-round
by everyone's favorite doctor, George
Clooney, roars from the reconstructed
Batcave in a sleek, remodeled Batmobile
towards the city.
Only now, he doesn't travel alone. His
daredevil partner, Robin, Chris O'Donnell
returns for the role, speeds alongside him on
his turbo-charged motorcycle, the Redbird.
A united team standing against a new reign
of villainy, conceived with cold-blooded
design by a shimmering, terrifying figure of
destruction, Mr. Freeze, played by Arnold
Schwarzenegger.
Arnold is joined by Uma Thurman as the
flower-power femme fatale Poison Ivy, a vineentwined beauty who can kill with her kiss .
When these two villains strike a partnership, it will take a powerhouse team to stop
them. Armed with innovative gadgets,
redesigned vehicles and an all-new awesome arsenal, the crime-fighting duo of

She's believed it since she was a young
girl, when her father would sit her at his

she chose the search for intelligent extraterrestrial messages as her discipline, despite
the scorn of the scientific community. She's

It's a whole new game - The Cubbies are in town
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Summer Sports Editor_
The Williamsport Cubs are back in town to
begin the 1997 New York-Penn league season
with a new manager and some other fresh
faces.
The Cubs are coming of a second place
finish in the New York-Penn Leagues
Pinckney Division, just two games behind
Watertown. The Cubs finished with a 43-32
record and the highest winning percentage of
any Williamsport team since 1967.
The Cubs new manager is Bob Ralston.
Ralston had played six-years in the minors and
is in new territory.
"This is my first job as a manager and I am
looking forward to it," said Ralston. "I am
starting to get to know the players now and it
is going to be a fun season ."
The Cubs are the short-season A minor
league team of the Chicago Cubs and one of
the places the Cubs send their prospects to get
a good look at them and see if they have the
stuff to become major leaguers.
Til other teams in the Pinckney Division
are: Auburn Doubledays (Houston Astros),
Oneonta Yankees (New York Yankees), Utica
Blue Sox (Florida Marlins), and the
Watertown Indians (Cleveland Indians).
The Cubs play their home games at
Historic Bowman Field, which is only a half
an hour away from Lock Haven University.
Bowman Field op)ened in 1926 and is the
second oldest minor league park operating in
the United States.
Two of minor league baseball's most
bizarre moments took place at historic
Bowman Field.
In 1955, a young Reading outfielder
named Roger Maris looked back over his
shoulder while chasing a long fly ball and ran
right though the outfield fence.
On August 31, 1987, with a Reading player on third base, Williamsport catcher Dave

Bresnahan took a peeled round potato and
threw it over the third baseman's head and into
left field. When the runner tried to score from
third, Bresnahan tagged him with the real ball.
Bresnahan's professional playing career ended
that night.
But a year later, 4,000 fans showed up
when Williamsport held Dave Bresnahan Day
V/iliamsport
and retired his number 59. Admission that day
was one dollar and one potato. Look on the
concourse near the souvenir shop for the
Bresnahan No. 59 and pay tribute to a .149 hitter with a sense of humor.
On August 29 the Cubs will pay tribute to
the 10th anniversary of that famous play with
Dave Bresnahan Night.
A baseball game at Bowman Field is an
experience like no other. Tlie Cubs have many
in-game promotions along with many special
promotion nights throughout the season.
The in-game promotions include a lucky
numbers drawing, dirtiest car in the parking
lot wins a free car wash, What's in the Box
contest, dizzy bat contest, sing for your supper, baseball toss, pair o'dice roll, and the ever
popular frog jog.
Every Wednesday night is also a special
promotion night, "Baseball Bingo". Fans can
play along in this special bingo for a chance to
play in the grand prize game later in the season.
On Saturday, June 28, the Cubs will
have a Holiday Fireworks Spectacular. The
fireworks will light up the sky above Bowman
Field after the game. Another fireworks
Spectacular is planned for August 30.
A night at the ballpark is also an inexpensive night out for a person on a budget.
Bowman Field is not far from campus and
costs only $3.75 for general admission and
$5.00 for a reserved box seat.
There is the typical ballpark food and beverages. The hotdogs are always hot and ready
and Pizza Hut pizza is also served at the ballpark.
The gates open an hour before game time,
which is usually 7:05 except for some afternoon games which will take place at 2:05.
There is plenty of parking at Bowman
Field, so leaving Lock Haven early is not necessary.
The atmosphere at Bowman Field is something out of the early 1930's when baseball
was truly "Americas Pastime". There is a fan
friendly atmosphere, where fans are encouraged to hang out around the locker room and
get autographs of their favorite Williamsport
Cub. The Cubs go out of there way to be fan
friendly, something you do not see in the
Major Leagues.
Williamsport has their own slice of
American history and also has baseball in its
purest form. The Williamsport Cubs players
do not have the multi-million dollar contracts
that most pro-baseball players have. They are
playing in Williamsport because they are chasing a dream, a dream to one day be pitching
for the Chicago Cubs on a sunny day in
Wrigley Field.
Baseball is fun once again, as long as you
go to Williamsport to see it.

New SID happy to be part of LHU Athletics
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Editor in Chief_
Who actually works in that cubby hole
of an office on the first floor of Akeley Hall?
When you enter Akeley from the front and
hang a right, the first thing you'll see is the
alumni relations office and public relations
office.
Look again. Now look a little closer.
That door right next to the.alumni office,
which has no window looking in, is the
home of the Sports Information Director
(SID to the University sports community).
There is a new SID in town who has
been a busy beaver since he arrived just over
a month ago. Will Adair was the former
assistant to the SID at Edinboro University,
but as fate would have it, Adair took a trip
down 1-80 to join the LHU sports communityAdair takes over for Josh Leiboff who
r'^—'^as the interim SID after Ross Nevile
retired. Going from one small school to
another, Adair takes it in stride. "I'm just
kind of a small town guy," he commented.
Adair is well experienced in Division II
(DII) sports, and especially experienced in
the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference
(PSAC), after working at Edinboro, who
plays all their sports in the same conference
as LHU, the PSAC-West.
Adair played basketball and golf in high
school, and messed around in intramural
leagues at Edinboro where he graduated
with a bachelor of arts.
He's 26, and yes ladies, he's been happily married for two years to a woman who he
says, "takes care of me very well."
Adair plans on settling his family here in
Lock Haven will stay as long as he's happy.
Past SIDs like Buck O'Reilly and Neville
held the {xjsition for over 50 years, and fortunately for Adair, they kept very good
records.
One of Adair's largest goals is to involve
more students in sports information. He
promisses students won't just be getting a
few hours of work study money, but getting
hands on work that involves release writing,
making brochures, and traveling.
"I'd like to promote sports information
to those students who are interested in the
field," he said. Students interested in working for Adair can reach him at 893-2350.
Adair himself is where he always wanted to be. "I always wanted to pursue a
career in sports information," he commented. "I was always a stat head." So how did
he get the job over all the other applicants?
"I'm eager and enthusiastic," said Adair.
"I think they saw what I mean by putting in
a hard day's work."
Adair is very thankful to his predecessor
Leiboff who he said was, "very helpful and
talented, technology-wise."
Adair is young, but he has the experience and the drive to succeed at LHU. This
is his new home.

Taylor guides U.S. Field Hockey Team to Berlin
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Editor in Chief_
Sharon Taylor, the University's Director
of Athletics lead the United States Women's
Field Hockey team to participate in the
Champion's Trophy held in Berlin,
Germany.
The event takes place every two years
with the best six teams in the world participating.
Taylor was an obvious choice to lead the
team after she lead the same team to Atlanta
last year for the Olympics. Taylor describes
this year's team as very young. About one
third of the team has had no international
experience at all.
Much of the team that went to Atlanta
retired after the games. The event is held in
Olympic Stadium, site of the 1936 summer
Olympic Games.
It is the qualifying event for the 2000
games to be held in Sydney, Australia. The
winner of the tournament receives an automatic berth to the Olympics.
Taylor retired as the University's field
hockey team head coach just one year ago to
take over as the head of Athletics. She has
been involved in U.S. and international field
hockey for more than 30 years.
She has served as the U.S. Field Hockey
Association's representative to the U.S.
Olympic Committee since 1987, and vice-

president of the association and delegate to
several World Cups and international congresses.
The University has had a strong tradition
in field hockey. Just last year, new head
coach Pat Rudy lead the team to the state
title, and lost by one goal to Bloomsburg
University in the national title game. Lock
Haven has had such an influence in Division
II that talk has risen about moving the program up to Division I.
According to Taylor, the structure of DII
is so small that it will eventually fall apart.
"The vast majority of DII teams are west of
the Mississippi," said Taylor.
The program was in DI for five years
during the eighties when DII had broken up.
Once the division was put back together
however, the University went back to DII.
Meanwhile, Taylor looks forward to the
upcoming hockey season.
r
"1 think we'll have a great team again,"
she said. "Pat Rudy has done a great job
recruiting, and she likes recruiting, which I
have a hard time believing anybody fenjoys
recruiting."
Rudy still remains the fourth all-time
scoring leader at LHU. She reached that
plateau when the team still only played 11
games a season. Now the team plays 23
games.
Taylor is also looking forward to the
start of the Women's National Basketball
Association (WNBA). She commented,
"This comes on the 25th anniversary of Title
IX." Title IX is the law that supports equality in all facets of education, athletics and
the work place.
-•
When women, athletic or not, need
someone to look up to, Sharon Taylor epitomizes the successful woman of the eighties,
nineties, and beyond. When it come? time to
celebrate Title IX, who better to start off the
festivities than a woman who uses its freedom to its fullest extent.
Win Adair may be young, and
LHU, but he's driven to succeed. (Story pg. 7)

Sega is only relief for summer students
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Editor in Chief_
Students being bored in Lock Haven is
hardly a new concept. But during the Fall
and Spring semesters the Haven Activities
Council (HAC) sponsors events to entertain
the students and give them something to do
besides hiding in their dorm rooms watching TV.
But what hapfjens in the summer? Are
those events still taking place? So far in the
four weeks that classes have been in session, the following events have taken place:
"The Lost World" was sponsored at the
Roxy Theater in town twice and "Scream"
has been shown twice on 16mm film.
Junior Accounting major Steve Leitzel
is taking classes to help his grade point
average, but he hasn't been satisfied with
the social output in Lock Haven. "I basically play Sega games when I'm not studying,"
he said. "I'd die without my Sega!"
Carol Latronica, Associate Dean of
Students is not surprised by the lack of
activities on campus.
"I know there's nothing to do," she said.
"The problem is telling the right people
what you want to do."
The "right people" would be HAC.
HAC does not meet during the summer, but
Rene Ashlock, Director of Student
Activities commented on the lack of events
in the first session.
"We can't bring in acts during the summer because they cost too much," she said.
Ashlock did point out, however, that the
PUB has been open every night until 8 p.m.
and it remains empty. The game room is
also open and it too remains empty.
HAC sponsored trips to Millbrook
Playhouse last summer and no one signed
up. Students can still pick up free tickets to
Millbrook at the Vice-presidents office in
Sullivan Hall.
Students still remain ademant that there
are not enough activities on campus.
Sophomore Elementary Education major,
Shonnie McDonald wishes she had more to
do.
She went with friends to the swimming
pool in Zimmerli for what was supposed to
be a free swim sponsored by the Student
Cooperative Council (SCC), but they were
kicked out in favor of camp children.
"The activties we are supposed to have,
we don't have anymore because there's a
bunch of little kids here," she exclaimed.
That creates another question: Who gets
priority on school property? The students
who are here to receive a degree, or the
camp children?
A similar debate was raised in the last
spring issue of the Eagle Eye. Tracksters
have had continuous scheduling problems
with the use of the University track because
the area high school and junior high teams
have scheduled their practices and events on
the track in exchange for a donation, by the
Keystone Central School District, to its creation two years ago.
Students who are coming to the
University for the second session will be

pleased to hear that HAC has many activities slated for the five-week session.
HAC-sponsored trips include: Six
Flags, a Phillies game, Hershey Park and a
trip to State College to see fireworks on the
Fourth of July.
Movies "The Devil's Own", "Grosse
Pointe Blank", and "Sling Blade" will each
be shown twice during the month of July.
So what happens to the students who are
up here for the first summer session?
"There's only about thirty to forty students
here, so there's little interest to plan any
activities for the first sesion," replied
Ashlock.
Sophomore Early Education major.

events. "I have too much studying to do so

It is that time of the year again when
most of the freshman students who will be
joining us this Fall come a few months early
to get a taste of what life will be like on our
scenic campus.
In a simple matter of 24 hours, those students will be shown everything from dorm
life to social life to a taste of the
University's fine Bentley cuisine.
The future endeavorous students will
also get a look at life in downtown Lock
Haven and the surrounding communities.
Courtesy of several changes made to the
orientation structure last year, parents will
be more involved with the events during
orientation. The program "Metamorphosis"
will now be shown to parents as well as students.
New students will have obvious advantages that most students at LHU did not start
out with. For instance, the one-card system
will lessen the time orientation students will
have to stand in line.
Previous students had to stand in line
twice; once for their Bentley card and a second time for their ID. The new Ea§leCard
is easier and faster.
According to Carol Latronica, Dean of
Student Affairs, 400 to 500 incoming students will visit the campus next week, out of
700 to 750 total new students.
"They're here for a 24-hour period,"
said Latronica. "We try to make them feel
more comfortable with the campus."

Alumni fashion show proves underwear still in fashion
by Cynthia Graham
Eagle Eye News Editor_
Underwear, underwear and more underwear. Is this a fashion trend leading into the
millennium? Well, not for everyone, but
perhaps for popular clothing collector Doris
Darnell, who presented her Fashions from
the Boudoir show, sponsored by the
University's Foundation Office at Sloan
Theatre on Sunday.
According to Darnell, a major part of the
show is underwear and night gowns from
past eras. She said everything the models
wear are clothing that were given, to her by
friends and family.
As early as age 19, Darnell began collecting clothing and she has shown her collection to audiences all over the United
States and while on Euro[)ean and Caribbean
cruzes.
What is most unique about Darnell's

To make a long story even longer, after
she found out that she was not going to be
married, the heart broken young lady packed
everything she made for the advent of married life, into a chest and never opened it
again. For the remainder of her life, she
existed as a hermit.
At the time of her death, this lady left her
house and everything in it to her lawyer,
which happned to be the husband of a
University employee. The employee then
turned the chest over to Darnell, who was
the first person to open the chest since it had
been securely locked away many, many
years before.
In 1979, Darnell started showcasing her
collection of vintage clothing in a performance she called Centuries of Elegance.
Since then, she has done 80 shows, consisting of 12 different themes, and has been on
11 cruz ships into exotic countries. She does
not have a full time staff of models, nor does
the elderly collector, exhibitor and raconteur
have stage technicians in charge of the overall production of her shows. Instead,
Darnell spearheads the entire operation with
her husband and uses women who are willing to model her clothing at each stop she
makes.
Other features of Darnell's collection
include sporting clothes and mens night
wear from past centuries. However, she said
it is hard to convince men to model sleep
wear.
Darnell said she also has slides of fragile
dresses and other pieces of aged clothing
that are too delicate to be worn.
The last segment of the fashion show
was known as what Darnell calls an
Edwardian Striptease. This was well

shows, however, is the fact that she incorporates stories of the women who actually
wore the clothing into the presentation. She
told tales of lovers and wives of elite
European and American men. There were
stories of women who were filthy rich and
spoiled rotten, who only bought clothing
from the most exquisite stores and boutiques
in Paris.
Darnell's indepth account of a particular
woman's mysterious life was quite interesting. This lady was scheduled to be married,
but on the day of the wedding, her husbandto-be jilted her! Prior to the wedding, this
woman sewed many beautiful dresses and
sleep ware for her new life. She created a
beautiful white, two-piece night gown set
specifically for the eventful wedding night
ahead of her.

received by the audience. Darnell said this
segment of the Boudoir came aboiif when
she was asked to perform the show at the
80th anniversary of the Philadelphia
Orchestra. Members of the planning committee for the celebration asked Da.nell to
incorporate something into her show to
excite the crowd. Darnell decided on the
striptease, a conservative stripping of night
clothes that showed underwear of that particular era, and it has since become a permanent part of her show.
Darnell says she plans to donate her
clothing to the Shippensburg Fashion
Archives, which has asked her to put her
things into their museum.

A new nemesis has unleashed a cold

the night sky. Batman, played this go-round
by everyone's favorite doctor, George

Only now, he doesn't travel alone. His
daredevil partner, Robin, Chris O'Donnell

his turbo-charged motorcycle, the Redbird.
A united team standing against a new reign
of villainy, conceived with cold-blooded
design by a shimmering, terrifying figure of
destruction, Mr. Freeze, played by Arnold
Schwarzenegger.
Arnold is joined by Uma Thurman as the
flower-power femme fatale Poison Ivy, a vineentwined beauty who can kill with her kiss .
When these two villains strike a partnership, it will take a powerhouse team to stop
them. Armed with innovative gadgets,
redesigned vehicles and an all-new awesome arsenal, the crime-fighting duo of

She's believed it since she was a young

It's a whole new game - The Cubbies are in town
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Summer Sports Editor_
The Williamsport Cubs are back in town to
begin the 1997 New York-Penn league season
with a new manager and some other fresh
faces.
The Cubs are coming of a second place
finish in the New York-Penn Leagues
Pinckney Division, just two games behind
Watertown. The Cubs finished with a 43-32
record and the highest winning percentage of
any Williamsport team since 1967.
The Cubs new manager is Bob Ralston.
Ralston had played six-years in the minors and
is in new territory.
"This is my first job as a manager and I am
looking forward to it," said Ralston. "I am
starting to get to know the players now and it
is going to be a fun season ."
The Cubs are the short-season A minor
league team of the Chicago Cubs and one of
the places the Cubs send their prospects to get
a good look at them and see if they have the
stuff to become major leaguers.
Til other teams in the Pinckney Division
are: Auburn Doubledays (Houston Astros),
Oneonta Yankees (New York Yankees), Utica
Blue Sox (Florida Marlins), and the
Watertown Indians (Cleveland Indians).
The Cubs play their home games at
Historic Bowman Field, which is only a half
an hour away from Lock Haven University.
Bowman Field op)ened in 1926 and is the
second oldest minor league park operating in
the United States.
Two of minor league baseball's most
bizarre moments took place at historic
Bowman Field.
In 1955, a young Reading outfielder
named Roger Maris looked back over his
shoulder while chasing a long fly ball and ran
right though the outfield fence.

Bresnahan took a peeled round potato and
threw it over the third baseman's head and into
left field. When the runner tried to score from
third, Bresnahan tagged him with the real ball.
Bresnahan's professional playing career ended
that night.
But a year later, 4,000 fans showed up
when Williamsport held Dave Bresnahan Day
V/iliamsport
and retired his number 59. Admission that day
was one dollar and one potato. Look on the
concourse near the souvenir shop for the
Bresnahan No. 59 and pay tribute to a .149 hitter with a sense of humor.
On August 29 the Cubs will pay tribute to
the 10th anniversary of that famous play with
Dave Bresnahan Night.
A baseball game at Bowman Field is an
experience like no other. Tlie Cubs have many
in-game promotions along with many special
promotion nights throughout the season.
The in-game promotions include a lucky
numbers drawing, dirtiest car in the parking
lot wins a free car wash, What's in the Box
contest, dizzy bat contest, sing for your supper, baseball toss, pair o'dice roll, and the ever
popular frog jog.
Every Wednesday night is also a special
promotion night, "Baseball Bingo". Fans can
play along in this special bingo for a chance to
play in the grand prize game later in the season.
On Saturday, June 28, the Cubs will
have a Holiday Fireworks Spectacular. The
fireworks will light up the sky above Bowman
Field after the game. Another fireworks
Spectacular is planned for August 30.
A night at the ballpark is also an inexpensive night out for a person on a budget.
Bowman Field is not far from campus and
costs only $3.75 for general admission and
$5.00 for a reserved box seat.
There is the typical ballpark food and beverages. The hotdogs are always hot and ready
and Pizza Hut pizza is also served at the ballpark.
The gates open an hour before game time,
which is usually 7:05 except for some afternoon games which will take place at 2:05.
There is plenty of parking at Bowman
Field, so leaving Lock Haven early is not necessary.
The atmosphere at Bowman Field is something out of the early 1930's when baseball
was truly "Americas Pastime". There is a fan
friendly atmosphere, where fans are encouraged to hang out around the locker room and
get autographs of their favorite Williamsport
Cub. The Cubs go out of there way to be fan
friendly, something you do not see in the
Major Leagues.
Williamsport has their own slice of
American history and also has baseball in its
purest form. The Williamsport Cubs players
do not have the multi-million dollar contracts
that most pro-baseball players have. They are
playing in Williamsport because they are chasing a dream, a dream to one day be pitching
for the Chicago Cubs on a sunny day in
Wrigley Field.
Baseball is fun once again, as long as you
go to Williamsport to see it.

Friday, June 20,1997 Eagle Eye 7
New SID happy to be part of LHU Athletics
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Editor in Chief_
Who actually works in that cubby hole
of an office on the first floor of Akeley Hall?
When you enter Akeley from the front and
hang a right, the first thing you'll see is the
alumni relations office and public relations
office.
Look again. Now look a little closer.
That door right next to the.alumni office,
which has no window looking in, is the
home of the Sports Information Director
(SID to the University sports community).
There is a new SID in town who has
been a busy beaver since he arrived just over
a month ago. Will Adair was the former
assistant to the SID at Edinboro University,
but as fate would have it, Adair took a trip
down 1-80 to join the LHU sports communityAdair takes over for Josh Leiboff who
r'^—'^as the interim SID after Ross Nevile
retired. Going from one small school to
another, Adair takes it in stride. "I'm just
kind of a small town guy," he commented.
Adair is well experienced in Division II
(DII) sports, and especially experienced in
the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference
(PSAC), after working at Edinboro, who
plays all their sports in the same conference
as LHU, the PSAC-West.
Adair played basketball and golf in high
school, and messed around in intramural
leagues at Edinboro where he graduated
with a bachelor of arts.
He's 26, and yes ladies, he's been happily married for two years to a woman who he
says, "takes care of me very well."
Adair plans on settling his family here in
Lock Haven will stay as long as he's happy.
Past SIDs like Buck O'Reilly and Neville
held the {xjsition for over 50 years, and fortunately for Adair, they kept very good
records.
One of Adair's largest goals is to involve
more students in sports information. He
promisses students won't just be getting a
few hours of work study money, but getting
hands on work that involves release writing,
making brochures, and traveling.
"I'd like to promote sports information
to those students who are interested in the
field," he said. Students interested in working for Adair can reach him at 893-2350.
Adair himself is where he always wanted to be. "I always wanted to pursue a
career in sports information," he commented. "I was always a stat head." So how did
he get the job over all the other applicants?
"I'm eager and enthusiastic," said Adair.
"I think they saw what I mean by putting in
a hard day's work."
Adair is very thankful to his predecessor
Leiboff who he said was, "very helpful and
talented, technology-wise."
Adair is young, but he has the experience and the drive to succeed at LHU. This
is his new home.

Taylor guides U.S. Field Hockey Team to Berlin
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Editor in Chief_
Sharon Taylor, the University's Director
of Athletics lead the United States Women's
Field Hockey team to participate in the
Champion's Trophy held in Berlin,
Germany.
The event takes place every two years
with the best six teams in the world participating.
Taylor was an obvious choice to lead the
team after she lead the same team to Atlanta
last year for the Olympics. Taylor describes
this year's team as very young. About one
third of the team has had no international
experience at all.
Much of the team that went to Atlanta
retired after the games. The event is held in
Olympic Stadium, site of the 1936 summer
Olympic Games.
It is the qualifying event for the 2000
games to be held in Sydney, Australia. The
winner of the tournament receives an automatic berth to the Olympics.
Taylor retired as the University's field
hockey team head coach just one year ago to
take over as the head of Athletics. She has
been involved in U.S. and international field
hockey for more than 30 years.
She has served as the U.S. Field Hockey
Association's representative to the U.S.
Olympic Committee since 1987, and vice-
Athletic Director Sharon Taylor led the U.S. Women's Field Hocky
team to compete in the Champion's Trophy at Berlin, Germany.

president of the association and delegate to
several World Cups and international congresses.
The University has had a strong tradition
in field hockey. Just last year, new head
coach Pat Rudy lead the team to the state
title, and lost by one goal to Bloomsburg
University in the national title game. Lock
Haven has had such an influence in Division
II that talk has risen about moving the program up to Division I.
According to Taylor, the structure of DII
is so small that it will eventually fall apart.
"The vast majority of DII teams are west of
the Mississippi," said Taylor.
The program was in DI for five years
during the eighties when DII had broken up.
Once the division was put back together
however, the University went back to DII.
Meanwhile, Taylor looks forward to the
upcoming hockey season.
r
"1 think we'll have a great team again,"
she said. "Pat Rudy has done a great job
recruiting, and she likes recruiting, which I
have a hard time believing anybody fenjoys
recruiting."
Rudy still remains the fourth all-time
scoring leader at LHU. She reached that
plateau when the team still only played 11
games a season. Now the team plays 23
games.
Taylor is also looking forward to the
start of the Women's National Basketball
Association (WNBA). She commented,
"This comes on the 25th anniversary of Title
IX." Title IX is the law that supports equality in all facets of education, athletics and
the work place.
-•
When women, athletic or not, need
someone to look up to, Sharon Taylor epitomizes the successful woman of the eighties,
nineties, and beyond. When it come? time to
celebrate Title IX, who better to start off the
festivities than a woman who uses its freedom to its fullest extent.
Win Adair may be young, and
LHU, but he's driven to succeed. (Story pg. 7)
