Parking fines double
Michelle Hershey
Eagle Eye News Editor
Commuter students and
residents parking illegally
on campus will face stiffer
fines this year.
The
legislature
approved all state universities to raise their parking
fees. This is the first
increase since 1973.
Parking tickets will
now cost Lock Haven students $10, up $5 from last
year. Ticket fines across
the state system now range
from $5-$ 15.

exist from last year, such as

Christine Prebble, a
sophomore, said she understands why law enforcement overbooks the lots,
but they could solve the
problem by writing class
times on permits and ticketing when students are
violating their registered

Students returning to
Lock Haven University for
class this week saw major
and minor renovations
both completed and still
occurring on various facilities throughout campus.
The most noticeable
renovation to students, and
perhaps the most aggravating, is the remodeling of
Stevenson Library.
Tara Fulton, Director of
Library Services at LHU

said the renovation project
is on schedule and the
grand re-opening of the
library will be Tuesday,
September 4 at 8:00 a.m.
The new and improved
library has a new lighting
system at the entrance,
which Fulton hopes will
create a warm, inviting feel
to the library.
Eight
open-access
computers are located just
passed the main entrance
and the lounge facing the

windows of the library
overlooking Ivy Lanehad
been redecorated with all
new furniture. The circulation desk has been
revamped and includes a
glass panel with Stevenson
Library written on it.
The biggest improvement to the library is the
24-hour study lounge now
located where the periodicals were in previous
years. The study lounge,
which is tentatively scheduled to be opened this
week,
have a side door
available for entry after the
library has closed.
The entrance to the
study lounge will be the
"meet and greet" area,
equipped with an "S"
shaped sofa and an exhibit
area for students to meet up

with one another to study
and work on projects. The
lounge has four tables and
a sofa and chair area, two
laptop computer connections, as well as two group
study areas with partitions
allowing groups to discuss
projects without disturbing
others in the study lounge.

Adjacent to the lounge
is a library instruction
room where faculty members can bring their students to receive lessons on
how to access information
via electronic, video, and
print media outlets.
" I encourage all students to attend the
Stevenson Library open
house on September 7 from

2:00 to 4:00 p.m.," said
Fulton.
Tours ofthe library will
be given during the open
house and ice cream will
be provided for students in
front of the library.
Other renovations done
on campus that occurred
during the summer were to

The scale ranged from a 1.5
Sumer Buttorff
Eagle Eye Staff Reporter cumulative average requirement

for students having 0.5 to 18.5
hours to a 2.0 for students having completed 57 or more hours.
The increase in grade point
average requirements is exclusive to LHU. However, before
making its decision, the committee compared the standards
of other universities to those at
LHU.
Vice President of Academic
Affairs, Roy Stewart, who
approved the committee's
proposition, believed that a new
policy was in order because he
found the previous to be "misleading." Stewart said, "It is not
o.k. for students to have a C."
The new plan is among other
efforts by LHU to raise
University standards, including
a recent change in policies
effecting education majors.
Stewart hopes the decision
to raise University standards
will be "a motivation for students to work harder."
Essentially, Stewart believes
the new requirement "will be
better for students and better for
the University."

University vans eliminated
for athletic use

-

Lock Haven, Pa. The Lock
of
Haven
University
Pennsylvania Department of
announced
on
Athletics
Tuesday that it is discontinuing
the use of 15-passenger vans for
athletic travel in response to
national concern over the safety
of large-occupancy vans.
This past academic year the
University used 15-passenger
vans for athletic competition
less than two hours from Lock
Haven. Starting in the fall, all
athletic travel will utilize chartered buses.
The decision follows an
advisory issued in April by the
National Highway Traffic
Administration
Safety
(NHTSA) warning an increased
rollover risk for 15-passenger
vans under certain conditions.
The issue is a concern among
colleges and universities in the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA), growing
in intensity following a string of
highly publicized van accidents
occurring to varsity teams while
en route to or from competition
in the 1999-2000 school year.
"We had already made a
great step in reducing the risk to
student-athletes and coaches
with the expansion of bus transportation to trips farther than
two hours," said Sharon Taylor,
Lock Haven Director of
Athletics. "This move to totally
eliminate the need for coaches
or students to shoulder any burden of driving vans to contests
is the final step in doing all we
can to diminish the chances for
accidents similar to the ones that
have occurred over the last two
years."
In January 2000, one student-athlete and 10 other teammates from the Kenyon College
men's and women's swim teams
of the vans crashed and rolled

several times after veering out

of control on an icy road. One
month later, four members of
the Prairie View A&M
University track team died and
the coach and five other athletes
were seriously injured when the
van carrying the team swerved
off the road and rolled several
times.
The NHTSA report revealed
that when 15-passenger vans are
filled with 10 or more occupants, the rollover rate in single
vehicle crashes is almost three
times the rate of vans that were
lightly loaded. Additionally, the
NHTSA reaffirmed the necessity of seat belt use after finding
that 80 percent of those nationwide who died last year in single vehicle rollover accidents
were not buckled up.
Federal law prohibits the
sale of 15-passenger vans for
school-related transportation of
high school age and younger
students, but no such prohibition exists for college and university students. Among the reasons for the prevalent use of the
vans among small and large college and university athletics
teams alike is the schedule flexibility the vans allow and the
issue of savings gained versus
chartering a bus.
"I believe the extra dollars
are worth the safety factor," said
University
Lock
Haven
President Craig Dean Willis.
"The University's primary concern is for the welfare of the student-athletes and coaches.
Though we understand bus travel will not totally eliminate the
chances of accidents, it will
greatly reduce the likelihood of
accidents and alleviate the stress
placed on our coaches and students. I feel this is an important
and necessary move."

The art of cleaning your room
Matthew English
Eagle Eye OP/ED Editor
I walk up the stairs in my house to my
room and open the door only to reveal chaos.
Most of the time my living space is in such
shambles that I can hardly see the faded
brown carpet covering the floor. I'm an
impetuous person by nature and if I want
something like a quote from a book, or an
obscure item like deodorant, I frantically
root around my room trying to find it with
little regard to what a mess I'm making,
there is only the task at hand.
So I get the job done but it brings havoc
to my bedroom. Eventually there comes a

point while I'm stepping over piles of old
newspapers and dirty clothes, that something stirs in me and I do feel like taking
time out to straighten the place up.
I get surprised at how much of my own
life I've forgotten and I'm reminded by the
obscure relics tucked in the cushions of my
couch. They take me back to places. Good
places, bad places, sometimes joyous, sometimes solemn or shameful, but they are what
they are and they are a part of me.
How long should I keep this old paper I
wrote two years ago? It was a wicked paper
and I got an A on it, but what, am I going to
keep it forever? Poor papers I look at sheepishly and discard quickly. What about old

letters, or photos, or some cheap plastic souvenir statue of liberty I got from New York?
I'd like to keep them all but space must be
made for future crap to suffocate my room
and so they go in the trash can with a little

mourning.

Finally the room gets done, and when it
does I back off into a corner so I can admire
the aesthetics of an orderly space. I breathe
easy; everything is where it should be, which
is boring. So when I'm done I usually pull
up to my desk and start writing like I'm
doing now.
It's a new year; again, it's always important to clean your room.

LHU wins the PSAC's Dixon Trophy
Lock Haven University has
won the Dixon Trophy as the
Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference's most successful
all-around athletics program for
the 2000-01 academic year. This
is the first win for Lock Haven,
last finishing as high as second
place in the 1999-2000 school
year.
The Dixon Trophy is named
after F. Eugene Dixon, Jr., former chairman of the Board of
Governors of the State System
of Higher Education. It has been
awarded annually since 1995 to
the PSAC member institution
that accumulates the most points
based on results of conference
playoffs and/or regular-season
records. Each institution's point
total is calculated by adding its
top six men's finishes and top
six women's finishes in 20 conference sports.
Lock Haven won the trophy
by tallying 117.5 points and tied
the largest margin of victory in
the history of the award by
matching Shippensburg's 1997five-point
triumph.

playoffs with three athletes
earning all-state status and two
meriting AU-SUNYAC honors.
Prior to her post at Geneseo,

Geissler held head field hockey
and lacrosse positions at Elmira

tion in her junior and senior seasons. In 46 games, she posted
255 saves and 20 shutouts.

"Lock Haven was a wonderful place to come to further
my education, not to mention
become a successful athlete,"
said Geissler.
"I am very much looking
forward to coming back and
continuing my athletic successes from the sideline instead of
on the field. This is a fantastic
opportunity for me to give back
to two programs which have
showered me with memories
and good times."

However, the way the

seemed improbable.
With around nine minutes left in the opening half,

just a minute and a half later

As time started to
become a major issue,
Naomi Clarke took the ball
down the side and fired it
into the middle where Ward
headed it past the goalie at
82:35 for a 2-2 game.
Ward then found the net
for the game winner in over-
