Smoking restrictions denied

such an action would produce.

:

Though the resolution stated that the University
would have the discretion of how to enforce this policy.
Senator Dan T. DeLill found this unacceptable asking
how it can be expected of the University to enforce a
policy that is being introduced by the SCC.
Senator Joanna Rizzuto also raised the question of
how such a policy could be enforced if passed by Senate.
In answering this question, methods, such as posting
signs indicating the reason why smokers are being confined to a restricted area to imposing monetary fines or
hours of community service upon those individuals who
disregard the signs, were suggested.
On behalf of Morrissey, University student Dan Heiser, who also suffers from asthma, believes he, Morrissey
and all the other people on campus who do not smoke
have the right to have at least one entrance to thc building that isn't polluted by cigarette smoke.
Because he has to spend hundreds of dollars on medication for his asthma, Heiser revealed that his life is on
thc line every time he has to walk to class and pass a
group full of smokers. Having to pass by smokers in

Everyday University student Shannon Morrissey
struggles to make it inside Raub Hall for class. Her
problem doesn't stem from inclement weather or needing three alarm clocks to rouse her from a deep sleep; her
problem stems from smokers.
Morrissey has suffered from asthma since she was
nine years old. The experience behind an asthma attack
is something she. more than once, has tried to explain to
those who know nothing about lhe problem.
In attempts to explain what an asthma attack is like,
Morrissey said the ordeal is synonymous to thc feeling
one may have if a "huge football player grabbed them
and squeezed them so intensely that they were unable to
breathe."
For Morrissey. walking through the crowd ofsmokers
in front of the building, at the sides of
the building and in the hack of thc building can be a life
threatening affair.

Having gone before to University administrators in
hopes of rectifying this smoking dilemma. Morrissey
has never gotten thc support she had hoped to receive.
Determined to be able to breathe free, Morrissey decided to travel an alternate avenue to produce the results
that she and many other non-smokers and asthma suffers
want to sec. With thc help of two Student Cooperative
Council (SCC) senators a resolution was drafted and
presented to the Senate al Wednesday's meeting in hopes
that a solution could he implemented.
One of the main purposes behind the existence ofthe
SCC is to see that the wishes ofthe student body are addressed. Why many students who attend this University

The resolution that was drafted by Senators Jeremy
Baker and Carl W. Rumbalski was not designed to "remove the rights of smokers," as it is stated in the document, hut w as dialled to "enable the rights of those who
choose not to smoke."
The resolution, which stated that smokers would only be allowed to smoke in the courtyard behind Raub.

front of Raub Hall or as Heiser stated, "the magical kingdom that appears to float on a cloud of smoke" is similar to having someone hit him in the chest with a club.
As stated by Baker and Rumbalski, "This resolution
is not in effect to remove the rights of smokers. This resolution's purpose is to enable thc rights of those who
choose not to smoke. Passage should be allowed into
Raub and past Raub en route to Robinson and Akeley
without those who choose not to smoke, arc allergic to
smoke or are more sensitive towards smoking to be
forced to breathe the smoke. This resolution simply designates a non-smoking area and highlights a previously
designated smoking area for those who believe they arc
no longer being allowed to smoke outside of Raub at
all."
Despite these personal accounts presented during the
meeting, SCC senators did not pass the resolution. PresidentLuke Lorenz believes that senators should question
their constituents and see where students stand on the issue before setting oui 10 restrict when: people can and
cannot smoke.

Bone marrow transplants are the
only "real" cure for blood diseases

Brenda Bartlett
Eagle Eye Editor in Chief
~"-

■—

Volunteering has always been a way for a person to
give back to society as well as to create a sense of selfgratification knowing that their actions have helped
someonc else. And how would that person feel if he or
she volunteered to help save lives?
The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) is
looking for volunteers to do just that.
There are numerous blood diseases that affect the
stem cells in a person's body, all of which are life threatening. Bone marrow is a substance found in the cavities
of bones. It resembles blood, but it contains stem cells
which produce red and white blood cells, as well as, other blood components. Marrow transplantation has become the only "real" cure for many of ,
these diseases in which patients need
new stem cells.
According to thc NMDP. approximately 75 percent of all transplant patients are those who have been diagnosed with some form of leukemia.
Others are patients with anemias,
lymphomas and a number of other
blood diseases.
A patient's best chance for a
matched donor is within his or her
family because tissue types are inherited. If the search within the family is
unsuccessful, someone from within
the patient's own ethnic or racial
group has the next best chance of
matching the tissue type.
This is where the NMDP comes
into play. The NMDP Registry is full
of volunteers who arc willing and accessible to consider donating their
marrow if ihey are ever identified as a
match for a patient.
Patients and
doctors are able to search thc registry
24 hours a day through a computerized system.

A cataloging technician is a more

working mainly with computers.
She collects data from Ohio College Library Catalog (OCLC) to

which books are accessible.
This information is not only used
by students, but also by people in the

This process complicates Gardner's job, giving her more work to
do. She collects information from

OCLC for two hours a day. Thc rest
of the day is spent cleaning and reviewing records.
"Cleaning the system gives us a
chance to fix mistakes that would
have gone unnoticed," she said.
Gardner is the fourth librarian to
receive honors for her services. The
award was presented to her at the annual Christmas party on Dec. 11,
1998.

Along with thc honor of being
this year's recipient, she was also
awarded a certificate and her name
was inscribed on a plaque with past
receivers of the award.
She said she was surprised to receive the award.

State System of
Higher Education Chancellor James

the Senate Appropriations Committee to support the System's 19992000 appropriations request, calling
it, "a joint investment... in Pennsyl-

The System is seeking a stale ap-

propriation of nearly $448.3 million
next year to help fund thc operations
of the 14 state-owned universities.
That amount represents an increase
of $24.32 million, or about 5.5 percent, over the current funding total.
"The appropriations level we are

"Private industry comes in with

around thinking there is a rapist
somewhere on campus. Is there?
Who knows.
There are too many people on
this campus who are worried about
their well-being to allow such inci-

dences to continue without some
kind of intervention, even if that just
means making more public statements saying that the lives of the students are more important than the
reputation of the school.

And some people feel they have to
look over their shoulders at all costs
because they don't know who could
be behind them and what they may
do.
The University has the duty to
preserve the name of this institution,
after all it was named among the top
liberal arts colleges in the East, and
they very well should to their best to
keep the reputation of the University
in good terms. But shouldn't they also be concerned with preserving and
protecting their student body?
Should we really be so scared
that some of us don't feel safe inside
our own homes unless the doors are
locked? Should we really be worried
about who is walking behind us on
our way to class?
I guess there really isn't too much
anyone can do except try to make
more of an effort to alert the students
as to what is happening, but first people (higher authorities) need to admit
that there are problems.

His kingdom in Jerusalem as the King of Kings (Revelation 19:11-16) and we, with Him, will reign.
This coming to the Earth is called the Revelation of
Christ. He will, at this time, defeat all the ungodly nations of the world at the Battle of Armageddon (Revelation 19:17-19).
The Antichrist, or the beast, and the false prophet
will then be cast into eternal condemnation. Satan himself, at this time, will be placed in a bottomless pit of
some kind for nearly 1,000 years until Christ's earthly
kingdom will be close to coming to an end. Satan then
will be released to make war against Christ one last time
before being forever cast, as well, into eternal hell (Revelation 19:20, 20:10).

Why is the grass always
greener on the other side?
Envy is such an interesting emotion. There's nothing better than
watching a person be envious towards another. Different degrees of envy
vary from the simple wanting of a possession or person to craving an ob-

session so much that it captivates the thought process of the brain.
If you want to look at envious thoughts from a religious perspective,
look at the last two of the ten commandments; the word "covet" is used but
it means pretty much the same thing as envy, in case you've never seen a
thesaurus.

The ninth and tenth commandments prohibit coveting other people's
possessions, thus making it a sin to crave something you don't have. Don't
worry, this week's column will not be dealing with theological issues but
my private-school days were doing the writing on that last point, so bear
with me.
In today's society, everything is so visual and hands-on that people only use a few of their five senses when reacting to certain things life throws
our way. Well, maybe that's a broad generalization. I'm sure that some
people are exempt from this, but the majority of the people, whether they
admit it or not, fall into this category.
People, for the most part use sight and sound as their only two senses.
They make decisions based on what they see and what they hear. The other three senses, smell, touch and taste, get thrown on the back burner.
When you neglect those three and dwell on the other two, you only
scratch the surface of thc thing that you are observing.
If I've gotten too deep for you, come back for a second because my poii
here it is: I think envy roots from a person's inability to evaluate their d
proper use of their senses.
As I read that back to myself, it sounds so textbook, so let me try to si

So the next time you want to bust the rhymes like ODB or sing like Steven
Tyler, think how awesome it would be to have a needle in your arm or be sitting alone trying to write a hit new song when you have nothing to write about.
How about relationships? They are so fun to talk about and I think you
know where I'm going with this.
When you're in a relationship, temptation always comes knocking at your
door and when you're single, it's like the drought of Somalia, no one calls or
shows interest.
When you're in a relationship, you yearn for the free time that you think you
are missing and when you're alone, you crave a one-on-one bond with another
person.
If you aren't ready to be in a relationship, you may run lar away trom the
situation even though you kick yourself every step of the way.
The point is to be thorough in decision making and you will have few second thoughts.

Listen, no one's ever happy with what they have or at least they don't appreciate it till it s

Contentment is a word that everyone should know, understand and try to practice.
If you aren't content with yourself, your possessions, your partner, etc., then you are never
going to be satisfied with what you want, you'll always want more.
Not only is that unhealthy, but it's unfair. Unfair to everyone around you and to yourself.
You arc hurting yourself bv being envious and forgetting about contentment.

March 5, 1999... already...where has the first half of this semester gone?
Fortunately for some people there is another half...it is not over yet.
On the flip side. Spring Break is here. That time of vacation for some and
time to spend time with family and friends for others. Time that you can
spend with that significant other that won't or hasn't made that trip on 1-80
to come see you...not even for that very special day in mid-February. But that
is ok...I guess...you're up here at school doing your thing and they're back
home doing their thing-that's cool.
I got some comments back from students and others about my comments
last week about the campus' fine dining hall and it was interesting to read a
letter to the editor from Ryan Stauffer advocating Bentley in last week's paper. That student. I think, needs to re-read a lot of the things said about Bentlev. It isn't thc selection...at least not in my perspectivc.it is the quality.
Bentley is a step up from a lot of other dining halls in the SHEE system, but
is it too much to ask for cooked food...not burnt...not raw, just done.
Time and time again, too many times in fact, I hear students talking about
the quality of thc food. Everything should be mixed...for example...the few
times that I go upstairs to eat dinner, I stop by the pizza spot to see what they
have. Every time I go there it seems that there is some type of topping mixture with things that just don't mix...at least not to me. And I have one question that might never be answered...is it true that the eggs left over from the
morning are'often used in the egg salad, made later that day, and is the food

B 4Sk I

reused...for days...upstairs'?
Ryan did have a good point...didn't say it...but good point: thc only place that you will get a
home cooked meal is at home. I do beg to differ about how "we are cry-babies" and I will say
that we are in the real world, we pay a nice amount to the cafeteria to gel a healthy, fresh, as well
as. qualitv meal.
Moving on (maybe this will make Ryan feel better) I will briefly discuss the other fine eatery
on campus thai really doesn't get a lot of play time. The Eagle Wing Snack Bar in the Parsons
Union Building owned and operated by the Student Cooperative Council. I must admit that I really enjoy my dining experience there when I get a chance to venture over there. And I like even
more so that the employees are wearing gloves as they prepare the food. Thc one drawback from
the Snack Bar and no one..at least out loud...is saying anything about the loss that it is taking
every year. I will not say much more on that issue but something needs to be done and soon.
That is money that could possibly be used somewhere else. Will someone step up?
I know one problem is comfortability. It seems like it is the dining area of a hospital, bright
lights, no music, the tables are square and the chairs are hard and you're forced to cat with others...what about a setting like the former Java Joint in downtown Lock Haven ?
Another is the financial problem, I think that if the SCC installed the Money On Account
(MOA) not only for the bookstore or even on the bill from revenue as another optional fee...just

like flex...how hard eould that be...even to try it out, how much will it lose, I
doubt more than what is lost evey year.
Now to the meat of the week, when we get back from break every campus organization will probably be holding elections of officers for the 19992000 academic year. This, I think, is very importani part in the continuity of
thc organization in the future.
A lot of times we elect our friends just out of support, but do we hold
them accountable for the functioning and the mission of that organization .'
Sometimes people are in offices and don't really have the burden or the well
being of the organization in mind and take it all for self, the position just lor
his/her resume.
When voting in an election we must learn to get out of the personal and
look to sec who is most qualified, has the interest of the students and will gel
the job done. And I will say that thc person who may seem the most obvious choice is may not always the right one.
I know some people arc wondering why 1 am not in the race for SCC
president, but I will admit that I still am not equipped, at least in my eyes, to
take on that task. There are some things that I want to accomplish before I
move to that position, if elected.
A problem that I see in some organizations is people who are about to
graduate often are the President and Vice President and leave no records of
what happened during their term, basically not passing thc ball on nor giving

back to the organization.
I have seen more and more of us, thc students, not using our resources to better what we want
and need on this campus. Again, I say use your voice to get what you need accomplished or taken care of for you to survive here. There arc somethings that I could mention but for sake ol
time and dealing with them calling and trying to screen me...I'll just save it...for now.
A kit of times at debates and discussions before elections wc ask everything under the sun
about anything but I cannot recall anyone ever asking "CAN I TRUST YOU WITH THIS?"
In the book of 1st Samuel in thc Holy Bible chapter 15 verses 1-23 it tells a story about King
Saul and how he let God down in some of thc things he was given to do. Samuel in verse 23
asked Saul "what is more pleasing to the Lord; your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice?"
So what is more important to the organization, to vote for your friend who might not have
vision or no paradigm, no interest for the future of the organization or someone who w ill get the
job done and represent the organization to the fullest without hurting themselves academically.
So the question is arises leaders of the 1999-2000 academic year...Can We Trust You With

ed one of the most popular bath supply stores worldwide.
D'Angelo indicated that in uncovering strengths most people neglect their best attributes due to the
emphasis society places on cognitive
intelligence. One theory actually
suggests that eight forms of intelligence exist including verbal, musical, logical and physical intelligence.
The realization of strengths in different area of intellect can guide people
toward their unrecognized vision.
The final clue in the workshop's
progression fostered the concept thai
every great achievement was at one
time only an idea or thought. All
things originated from thc conception of a vision.
"If my mind can conceive it and

He referred to the multi-million
dollar success story of Bill Gates

"The real tragedy is not death; it's
what dies inside of us as we live," repeated Anthony D'Angelo of Empower X!, Inc.. a leadership building
group, during a Lock Haven workshop last Wednesday. The motivational seminar focused around thc
self and fulfillment of individual potential through a unique and comedic
presentation on "the power of per■ sonal vision."
Development of the program's
major principles centered around a
quote by Benjamin Franklin who
said, "Most people die when they're
23, but they're not buried until
they're 70." According to D'Angclo,
this includes emotional, spiritual,
mental, social and financial death
and implies that most people are living without a vision or goal in life.
Intended to help students learn
how to lead themselves, the lecture
emphasized several points revolving
around the ideal of attaining an education rather than just a degree and
the ability to take a higher education

Iowa's steal of 25 Big b wrestingtitles in jeopardy
Tony Wirt
The Daily Iowan (U. Iowa)
(U-WIRE) IOWA CITY, Iowa — With the Big Ten
Championships just a week away, Iowa Wrestling Coach
Jim Zalesky finds himself in a position that no Hawkeye
coach in recent memory has experienced.
For the first time in years, Iowa is
on the outside of the Big Ten title pic-

take a few lumps now and then."
Iowa has been short a few scholarships in recent
years due to sanctions imposed by the NCAA, and the
penalties may have finally caught up with thc Hawkeyes.
Iowa inadvertently offered too many scholarship dollars
over a period of time, resulting in the sanctions.
Next year, however, the penalty period will end, and
the program will be back to 9.9 scholarships per five-

"We've been disciplined about our weight." Zalesky
said. "We don't have a lot of guys cutting weight and our
guys are in shape, so if it comes down to a battle of wills,
they should be able to hang in there and pull it out."
Another luxury the Hawkeyes should enjoy is a full
lineup. After going shorthanded against Oklahoma State
two weeks ago in Stillwater, Zalesky expects both
heavyweight Wes Hand and 165-pounder Ben Uker back
in the lineup.
Hand has been out since the Jan. 30 dual with Minnesota, in which he injured his ankle in a 6-0 loss to No.
2 Brock Lesnar. Zalesky expects the junior to be at full
strength this weekend.
"The thing for (Hand) is not to go out and think about
his ankle too much," Zalesky said. "You can't worry
about it, you just have to think about wrestling.
"Right now, it doesn't matter if you're banged up or
hurt, because everybody is. You just have to go with it."
With Hand and Uker back, the 184-pound spot will
be filled by Paul Jenn, who split time at heavyweight

"We were a little worried at first,"
said Head Coach Mark Elliston,
"about Sauls' ability to race and then
come right back the numerous times
we were asking him to."
He didn't seem to have any trouble though, racing competitively
every time he stepped on the track.
Sauls was the 500-meter champion, breaking his own school record
by more than a second with a time of
65.48. He then came right back to
run the 800. where he placed second
in 1:55.84.
Sauls also contributed to three relays, all of which placed in the top
three. He ran a remarkable 800-meter split of 1:51 to help his record
setting distance medley relay team
of Gomes, Scott Lightfoot, Sauls
and Ryan Comstock to a third place
finish in 10:13.87. Lightfoot, Rob
Mortensen, Gomes and Sauls then
teamed up in the 3200-meter relay
and not only broke the school record
with their winning time of 7:49.52,

but also broke the ECAC record by
more than seven seconds. Sauls finished the outstanding weekend by
helping the 1600-meter relay team
which included Johnathan Chichilitti, Aaron Seese, Lightfoot to place
third with a time of 3:28.10.
"I felt like slowing down so many
times because it hurt so much." commented Sauls, "but the constant
cheering from teammates and coaches was like instant energy for me and
kept me going."
Sauls wasn't the only one causing
a ruckus in the distance events. The
mile proved to be an exciting race,
with both Gomes and Comstock going for the title. Comstock was in
the lead from the start, pacing the
rest of the field for the first two laps.
He then fell back, but was still in
the race with Gomes trailing the lead
pack in seventh place. With two laps
to go, Gomes, despite being sick the
entire week leading up to the big
meet, started picking offcompetitors

in front of him and had the lead going into the final lap. He fell back to
third place at the finish with Comstock finishing right behind him in
fourth place. Gomes' time of 4:19.84
bettered his own five-week-old
school record of 4:23.38, as would
have Comstock's time of 4:20.84 if
Gomes had not been in the race.
Another exciting race was the
100-meter run, where there was just
seven tenths of a second separating
the first and fourth place finishers.
Lock Haven claimed two of those
four places, with Rob Mortensen
coming through for the team with a
personal best performance of

followed in fourth place with a time
of 2:33.90
In the 3000, Comstock finished in

"Our guys showed real guts and

from some of the other coaches, saying how good it is to see a new team
up there competing for the title."
The women had some excellent
individual performances. Lauren

The Bald Eagles narrowed the deficit to 6-4 by scoring two runs apiece in the filth and sixth innings.
Keith Conklin got things started for LHU in the filth
with a single followed by a walk to Butch Rudolph.

"We have a lot of young guys who are still making a

"We have to learn not to make so many errors and mental mistakes. I think it's a different ball game if we cut

getting stronger each game we play, and we are learning
to manufacture runs when we have to. We are showing
some good sisjiis. Hopefully, we can learn from these
mistakes and continue to get better."
