will be held in Price auditorium at 3 p.m. Appiah will also give a reading from his memoir, In My Father's
House, at 7 p.m. in the University's Ulmer Planetarium.
This year, Appiah and Henry Louis Gates, Jr., who
spoke at the University last year, completed a comprehensive CD-Rom encyclopedia on the black race, the
monumental Encarta Africana.
President of the Society for African Philosophy in
North America and Director of the Undergraduate Studies Department, Appiah is the author of several award
winning books including Color Conscious: The Political
Morality of Race.
This book was awarded the Annual Book Award of
the North American Society for Social Philosophy for
making the most significant contribution to social philosophy. It was also the recipient of the Ralph Bunche
Award of the American Political Science Association for
thc best scholarly work in political science which explores the phenomenon of ethnic and cultural pluralism.
His other books include, //; My Father's House:
Africa in the Philosophy of Culture, winner of the Annisfield-Wolf Book Award and the Herskovits Award of
the African Studies Association for the best work published in English on Africa, and Necessary Questions, an
introduction to analytic philosophy.

dents about issues of race and gender, apart from his
scholarly accomplishments, is his background and multi-culture heritage.
In the preface to his memoir, In My Father's House,
from which he will read when he visits the University,
Appiah articulates this experience in a most fascinating
manner. Appiah is African, born 44 years ago in Ghana.
His late father Joe Appiah, a leading lawyer, was a friend
and later a critic of Kwame Nkrumah. His uncle, Olumfuo Nana Opoku Ware II, is King ofthe Asante. But Appiah is also English: his mother Peggy is thc daughter of
the former Labour Chancellor, Sir Stafford Cripps.
Appiah's mixed parentage is not his only qualification for exploring the question of race. He went to Clare
College, Cambridge University, as a medical student,
studied genetic theory and then switched to philosophy.
His Ph.D., also from Cambridge is in Linguistics.
At Clare College, Gates started gathering the best
minds of his time. Everyone he spoke with kept asking
him if he had met Appiah, this brilliant scholar who later introduced Gates to Wole Soyinka, a Nigerian writer
who taught both Appiah and Gates at Cambridge, and
who in 1986 became the first African writer to win thc
Nobel Prize for Literature.
Meeting Appiah, Gates said, "...was love at first
sight. He is the smartest human being I have ever met."
Appiah was also the kind of person Gates tried to emulate. "He was everything I wanted to be. He was pure
reason, but very sensual. He loved life. He loved to eat.
He loved wine. He loved drama and art," said Gates.
Appiah concurred with Gates, whom he found "irresistible," and the two scholars vowed to work together.

to Yale, to Cornell, to Dukc and Harvard where he is a

Legislators open forum to

over public higher education

Students and community members will soon have the chance of a lifetime. They will be able to speak to legislators face to face about matters that
concern them at the Eighth Annual Lock Haven University Legislators Day
on March 25 at 12:30 p.m. in the Parson Union Building Meeting Room #2.
The open forum will be held allowing each legislator to speak for five
minutes on providing quality education to all Pennsylvania citizens as well
as support for public higher education as it relates to the State System of
Higher Education and Lock Haven University.
Bills and Budgets currently being accepted into the Pennsylvania government will be discussed slightly. Following each speaker will be an opportunity for the public to ask questions.
Legislators Day is tri-sponsored by the Association of Pennsylvania State
College and University Faculty Legislative Committee, the Student Cooperative Council and Lock Haven University.
Senators Roger Madigan and Jake Corman, Representatives Mike Hanna and Kerry Benninghoff and two aides to U.S. Congressman John Peterson will be in attendance for questions.

Students anxious to move out of

their dorms and into off-campus
housing next fall need to be aware of
the standards that the house must
meet by the city code before they
move into their "new place."
David Romig, code enforcer for
the city of Lock Haven, said that
based on an ordinance passed several years ago, all residential rental
units must have an inspection by a
certified inspector.
Over the past three years, the city
has been doing the inspections by
separating Lock Haven into five districts or wards.
Each year, a different district is
inspected, each district making up
several blocks in the area. The
process began with the first district
in 1997 and continued through 1998.
Now in 1999. the concern is
found in the third district where most
University students are seeking residency: West Water Street, West
Main Street, Church Street, Susquehanna Avenue and North Fairview
Street.
Carol Latronica, associate dean of
students, wants students to be aware
of what they are getting themselves
into when going out into the town
and shopping for housing for the first
time. Latronica wants to make sure
that students are not renting "junk."
By this, she means that students need
to be aware of the safety issues involved within a house such as the
presence of smoke detectors.
Romig stated that lack of smoke
detectors in homes seems to be the
biggest complaint from tenants who
call his office. The code officer also
said that the absence of ground fault

said, "the city is not responsible."
When the five-year time frame
runs out, landlords are reminded
through a personal notice sent out by
the code office and through a notice
in the local newspapers in January
and October that they need to contact
an inspector to analyze their property.

Banking concerns to be addressed
LOCK HAVEN - The Pennsylvania State Employees
Credit Union (PSECU) is looking for students to participate in an hour-long focus group that is to be held on
Tuesday, March 30 or Wednesday, March 31 from 1 p.m.
to 2 p.m.
The session is being held in hopes of discovering the
financial concerns of students and ways in which these

concerns can be met.
PSECU is a credit union, and unlike other banking institutions it operates not for profit. After expenses are
paid and reserves set aside, the earnings are returned to
members.
For example, the PSECU's checking policy offers no
monthly fees, no check fees and no minimum balance re-

quirements.

In addition, PSECU offers psecu@home which allows members to do transactions, inquiries and acquire
rate information on-line. Access is available through a
PC modem to dial the toll-free number or by signing on
through the Internet.
The system of online banking is not only convenient,

but is also safe. Members are given their own personal
identification number and password that can only be authorized by the user,
Any students interested in learning more about the
PSECU or in participating in the focus group can contact
Heather Bechtold at 748-0551.
All participants in the focus group will be compensated with a free two hour-long distance phone card,

tegrate technology into 3rd through 6th grade classrooms. About 100 University students will be involved,

along with about 25 teachers from the school districts.
The University was one of 20 higher education institutions to receive state Link-to-Learn grants totaling
$5.4 million awarded by state Education Secretary Eu-

Hickok as a part of the Integrated Technology in to
teacher Preparation (ITTP) program.
"These grants emphasize teaching with technology
;. rather than teaching about technology," Hickok said.
"They are designed to ensure that Pennsylvania teachers, both current and future teachers, can use technology
to help teach rigorous academic subjects in meaningful
and exciting ways," he said.
The ITTP funding complements Pennsylvania's recently adopted academic standards and Gov. Ridge's
Teachers for the 21st Century teacher-preparation initiameasurable aca~ tive. The rigorous, clearly written

?ene

demic standards outline what students should know and
be able to do at the conclusion of grades three, five, eight
and 11.
Teacher's for the 21st Century initiative is aimed at
raising the minimum requirements for becoming a
teacher in Pennsylvania. Among the new requirements,
perspective teachers would be required to master the
subject area they intended to teach.
In order to receive the grants, each institution created
a set of technology skills required for graduation. These
skills include: the ability to use a computer for desktop
applications such as word processing or e-mail, or the
ability to use the World Wide Web as a teaching tool in
the classroom.
More information on these grants and Link-to-Learn
is available on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's

Nevertheless, these lights are more efficient, more advanced and are saving the University money. Another
characteristic of these lights is that the light will not dim
as time goes by, unlike the old bulbs.
Another aspect that the University claims will improve the electrical system is the installment of an electronic ballist circuit board system and the eventual removal of the steel-encased wire coil system that is currently in use.
The present system is prone to malfunction and to
producing a rancid odor and large amounts of smoke
when a circuit shorts out.

campus autonomy would be lost. According to SDSU senator Jerry Farber, the Chancellor's Office is slowly luring each campus closer and
closer to Long Beach, where CSU
headquarters is located.
"Notice how this works," he said.
"They send us a plan and invite us to
participate on their terms. We go to
their panels and discussions. We fly
to Long Beach. We get involved.
They say that no plan has had more
participation and discussion, but
what has happened is that this has
shifted into what they are doing.
"It is as though they had yarn and
we were a kitten. They are dangling
the yarn, and we are pawing and
scratching, and [they] keep moving
us until we finally are in the cage.
And the cage is Long Beach."
But Swisher said that the plan Is
merely a guideline, or set of goals;
how each campus decides to proceed
is up to that individual school.
"The idea is to simply work in thc
same direction," he said.

Haven...Safe Haven...Lock Haven,"
organized by the Distinguished Gentlemen of LHU. This year, the organization figured that only if they put
it together it really would not get the
variety of events that are needed to
unify this campus.
So, this year, they have included
several campus and community offices to be involved in its planning. I
would like to commend them, as well
as those who participated in the planning, for a job well done. It is now
left to this campus community
whether they participate or not.
This week, beginning tonight until next Thursday, will hopefully
draw a variety of people to participate in one cause: to unify this campus to make it a better place for not
only us, the students here now, but
for the climate of the University for
years to come.
Tonight will be the Faith Alive
Coffeehouse in the PUB, commencing at 7 p.m. This will give any and
all participants the opportunity to express their religious beliefs to those
in the crowd.
Tomorrow
the

doors will open at 6 p.m. Back by
popular student demand will be comedian Kool Bubba Ice. Accompanying him will be comedian Tony
Lassiter with the sisters of Zeta Phi

Tunes will be the special guest-rendering step shows.
After the show there will be the

Unity Week will continue on
Monday with their re-opening of the

Cultural Center in downstairs Bentley and a movie and discussion about
the movie "Panther" at 8
in the
PUB TV lounge. "Panther" is primarily about the Black Panther
movement in the late 60s.

On Tuesday will be the far too
long postponed DG Male Showcase
1999 in Zimmerli Gym 1. The showcase will feature some of LHU's
male students showcasing their finest

clothing.
Wednesday will be the actual

Unity Day, with a workshop titled
"Make it Last" which will be held in
Ulmer Planetarium at 3:30 p.m. followed by a rally on the steps of Price
at 6 p.m. The rally will feature various students, faculty and administration speaking on the Unity Week
theme.

Many people here may say that a
Unity week is not needed...but there
is nothing wrong with expressing
openness to grow and trying to understand the bonds that separate us.
And believe it or not, it is the color of
our skin that divides us...but that is a
whole other column.
So I hope to see you at one of
those events.
On another note, it is funny how
people change in this, what some
call, "Beaver Fever" season. The
time in the semester before the
weather finally breaks into spring
time and people begin tanning and
shedding off clothing...which might
be a good thing in some instances
and a bad in others.
When was it, Tuesday? I saw
somebody in shorts and a tank top...it

was only 45 degrees outside.
I will say beware to males and females because this season can really
mess you up mentally and physically.
You start to wear all types of summer
clothes and the warm weather isn't
even here yet.
We all know the person that
comes to class half dressed all because the sun was shining. Oh, and

the girls with the jacked-up feet
knowing they need to put some type
of lotion on them and polish those
toe nails, who persist on wearing
open footed sandals.
Most of all, in this season, people
begin noticing people they didn't notice before, or at least not in the
fall...cause they start to get that honey-brown complexion or that tan
back that they had last summer. It is
simple to fall in the tricks of "beaver
season" just because of those reasons.

But like I said... "beaver season"
might be a good or bad thing. The
choice is yours.
I would like to end this week with
a long but good quote from a man
named Goldie, and to be honest with
you, I ant your feedback. Is this really true?
"Now, women love the challenge
of this game (being players). It is
part of the women's genetic makeup...women's stuff is tight from
birth...they come out of the womb already strapped with game. So, if you
come at them making some type of
grandiose promise that your weakness won't allow you to flow down
on, they will blow your little penis
right out of your pants...man...but, if
you give your balls a shot of boldness and slip them into a hypnotic
realm of words, you'll get over my
brotha, cause the woman, which is a
player herself, wants to be played,
has to be played in order for the continuation of this man/women thingIt's a deep game man...it's internal...like the smell of chitterlings.

Spring break experience anything but typical
Nick Bruce
The Daily Free Press (Boston U.)
Mass. — On the surface, there was nothing unusual about the way I and
12 other Boston University students spent Spring Break. We stocked and planned for a lengthy
roadtrip that would take us far from the frigid temperatures and bone-chilling winds of Boston
to a place where rich green palm trees sway in a gentle ocean breeze— a place where we could
shed our thick layers of sweaters and coats and enjoy colorful sunsets over a beautiful beach.
Yet. our Spring Break experience was, in fact, anything but typical. While many students embarked on journeys to exotic Caribbean locales such as thc Bahamas, Cancun and Jamaica, we
opted to take part in a one-week camping excursion to Georgia as part of the Community Ser(U-WIRL) BOSTON,

vice Center's Alternative Spring Break program! "~~
Our home for the week was Cumberland Island, the largest and southernmost barrier island off
St. Mary's, Georgia. Although Cumberland Island, whose national seashore is one of 370 areas
regulated by the National Park Service, offers many of the same qualities as other popular Spring
Break destinations, it didn't exactly fit common definitions of a beach paradise.
The island has no stores and no phones. It does, however, have sharks off its beaches, armadillos— which can sometimes carry leprosy— in its forests and plenty of ticks.
All dangers aside, the outdoor venture was six days of "roughin' it" (pronounced with a southern dialect), and trying to coexist with the true elements of nature.
We began our Spring Break on Saturday morning, when we were introduced to two
Budget rental vans: a sky blue, 15-passenger highway caboose and an ordinary minivan, which
brought back nostalgic recollections of family road trips during my junior high years. We were
forced to take two vans due to the carry-on luggage, which totaled about 30 backpacks or duffel
bags. 13 sleeping bags, seven boxes of bulk food from Costco, six tents, three more boxes of supplies, but unfortunately, there was no room for a partridge in a pear tree.
Our trek look us straight down Interstate 95, braking just before the Florida border and taking
a sharp left to historic St. Mary's, south of the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base.
Before catching a ferry to the island at 11:45 Sunday morning, we touched off our vacation
with the ultimate in southern dining at Waffle House, where the cooks are so talented, they know
of seven different ways to make hash browns. We made it to the island about 1 p.m., unloaded
our personal supermarket into two pickup trucks, and got our first glimpse of the wilderness and
wildlife during a two-and-a-half-hour, seven-mile hike to our campsite.
The remainder of the day was spent pitching two-and three-man tents and collecting firewood,
followed by a briefing of our upcoming work schedule from the island's park ranger, Don
Starkey. and National Park Service volunteer Andrew Koransky.
Work began at 9:30 a.m. Monday, when we split into three groups to trim and clear various
segments of the 2.5-mile Bunkley trail in the northern portion of the island.
Beneath a warm sun cooled by a slight offshore breeze, we spent hours hacking at palmettos,
a palm tree-like plant related to the pineapple family, and long, interlocking vines of thorns. By
thc end of the day, some us had sun burns and thorn lashes across our forearms, and others had
to remove ticks from their bodies.

But this was all forgotten when we were offered a surprise tour of the far northern back country. We saw the old. white and red-trimmed First African Baptist Church where John F. Kennedy
Jr. got married, then drove to the beach, where ruins of an abandoned wharf provided a picturesque backdrop to the glowing sunset on thc horizon.
We got a change of scenery Tuesday, moving inland to the forests, where we repaired animal
enclosures. The work day concluded earlier than expected, which allowed us to venture to the
eastern coastline and explore the beach. This also happened to be our first contact with tourists,
a high school group from Alabama, and further proved we were the only people on the island
faking a southern accent.
The relaxation continued the next day, when half the crowd opted to catch some rays on the
beach, and others chose a hike to Table Point, a northwest part of the island that extends into the
salt marshes off Cumberland River.
Hiking was an excursion into a buffet of environments, including a maritime forest outlined
by tide-affected marshlands and beaches. We encountered a horde of armadillos, feral horses,
families of hogs and numerous species of birds, including sand pipers and ospreys.
Our big discovery, however, was an entire skeleton of a horse on the outskirts of the dry
marshes. Wc were told to contact an archaeologist in this type of situation, but we thought Indiana Jones would be too busy snatching holy grails.
When evening settled, the group gathered around the campfire, which was our primary source
of heat in the chilly 40-degree nighttime air and the central source of light on the campsite.
Throughout the night, we heard the ruffling of leaves in the dark woods from always-present
armadillos, and on one occasion a garbage-loving raccoon decided to drop by.
Later in the night, many of us went for a walk to view the star-filled sky from the open grounds
of Plum Orchard, a mansion formerly owned by the Carnegie family. The constellation watch
was a nightly routine, and a pleasing alternate to the Boston skyline.
The last two days of our work schedule were spent cleaning up the same grounds from which
we viewed the stars each night. Pulling up saplings with a shovel and an all-too-useful weed
wrench, we helped tidy thc yard of the historic mansion and popular tourist attraction.
Our visit concluded Saturday morning with a final hike to Dungeness, the burnt-out remains
of another former Carnegie mansion, before catching a ferry back to St. Mary's.
The trip was a much-needed and worthwhile escape from the urban ambience of Beantown. It
was a chance to breathe fresh air (aside from the stench of numerous paper factories) and meet
face-to-lace with wildlife.
The fact that wc were offering a much-appreciated effort to preserve the environment made it
even more satisfying.
Aside from sounding out-of-placc with our distinct dialects, our only other problem was trying to hunt down an armadillo without being fined for molesting the wildlife— a charge that's
taken very seriously by local park rangers.

ur young black men are dying
Kristin White
The Eagle Eye
"African American males are dying at an epidemic rate," said James
Chapmyn. the writer and producer of
"Our Young Black Men Are Dying
and Nobody Seems to Care."
The three-man theatrical play
was performed at Lock Haven University on Wednesday, March 3, following the Black National Anthem
sung by Cynthia Graham and a poetry selection entitled "Your Success is
Eminent" by Hope Mitchell.
Chapmyn continued his introduction to emphasize that epidemics in
history have typically caused people
to unite, yet "in Pennsylvania we

spend more money incarcerating
black men than educating them," he
said vehemently. "We portray them
as gangsters. We are all accomplices
to this disease that is killing African
American males."
With his voice full of woe, Chapmyn proceeded to dedicate the performance to his brother Joseph
Chapmyn, who died at the age of 23,
and began listing other black men
who had fallen victim to this "disease" at young ages.

"My teachers spent more time
talking about me than to me," cried
the other. "School taught me to hate

me."
The play examined several common issues facing young black men
in America through emotional portrayals by the three actors, Chapmyn,
Will Conway and Brian Byrd. One
situation revisited a fatal prom night
at which the character was shot by
his best friend, and another depicted
the emotional impact of the AIDS
controversy and the shameful reactions to the disease.
The dialogue of the play moved
quickly to emphasize the role of education in the struggle confronting
young black men, suggesting that, as
children and students, black males
are neglected to be told the truth
about the bravery and strength of
their fathers and ancestors.
A later skit explored the difficulties of obtaining employment under
impoverished circumstances. The
character expressed frustration and
aggression in the contradiction ofbeing unable to acquire a job due to not
having an address or phone number
to reference, among other obstacles.
"Call you?" "Where." he asked.

"In the alley?"

1990. It was then performed on
blaming and start sitting down hon-

estly without television cameras,
without reporters or sound bites, listening to each other, respecting each
other and actually starting to impact
people's lives."
One of the most prominent goals
of the play is to "motivate people individually to address some of its key
issues," and its message to young
black men is clear. They are "black
men rising."
"I don't care what this world
does to me. I am the man, the real
man, the true man, the black man."
Chapmyn's production company,
Chapmyn's Spoken Word, produces
eight plays written by Chapmyn on
tour. They all encompass similar issues and offer Chapmyn's personal
perspective on the young black man
in society.
"Some of the things are from real life experience," he said. "A lot of
them are a creative way of turning
frustrations and feelings into performance. It's definitely from my insides. It's me."
"Our Young Black Men Are Dying and Nobody Seems to Care"
originated as a suicide note.

Kubrick also directed 1987's

and how war can dehumanize and

Stanley Kubrick was a director's
director with a wide-ranging array of
people that he influenced. Steven
Spielberg noted that "He gave us

that got more, not less, intense the
more you watched his pictures."
Kubrick just finished filming a
psycho-sexual thriller starring Tom

Cruise and Nicole Kidman titled
"Eyes Wide Shut." A spokesperson
for Warner Bros, said the film was
completed and was shown to studio
co-chairmen Terry Semel and Robert

spokesperson "It will be released as

Stanley Kubrick was survived by

Chapmyn's Spoken Word typically tours from August through the
end of April, attracting actors from
all over the country, mostly college
students completing one-year internships. Most of the actors have personal experiences on which to base
their portrayals which causes them to
become devoted and immersed in the;
issues.
Conway, who met Chapmyn
through a previous performer at a job'
convention, described his childhood
as "a hard, rough life." In addition to
being the youngest of 12 children in
his family and growing up without a
lot of conveniences, Conway witnessed the murder of his sister and
felt the agony of having a best friend

die in his arms.
"The plays relate well with me,"
he said, "because I can understand
those issues."
In that respect, Chapmyn has the
opportunity to motivate actors and
audiences through his plays and is
proud of the reactions they generate.
"The response is very positive.

reason they like it is because I believe it's one of the most honest

Chapmyn. "If for some reason I was

Most exercise videotapes feature

Lock Haven, where many students
are trying to lose those few extra
pounds in preparation for the nearing
swimsuit season.
Jill Nonan.a junior at the University, has been working out to Tae-Bo
videos for about a month. She said,
"It makes working out not seem like
a chore. I enjoy it and it has helped
me get more toned."
The Tae-Bo video library consists
of four videos ranging from a beginning instructional video to an advanced workout. Blanks designed
this program with the idea that virtually anyone could do it. He offers
variations of the workout such as
performing certain moves with the
assistance of a brace, allowing people at all levels to participate in this
program.
Tae-Bo is a four-video package
costing approximately $70 for a
complete running time of 138 minutes. It's kind of pricey for a typical
college budget, but there are alternatives to actually buying the video
(and no, I don't mean dubbing the
tape).

plates.
The poly-styrean plates
cannot be recycled nor are
they biodegradable, which is
harmful to the environment.
The plates are also harmful to
those who use them. The
plates contain chemicals that
are released into the food
when heated in the microwave.
Another focus of the club
is the recycling program on
campus. The decision to decide what is recycled lies with
the University. The University is required to recycle at
least three items which include paper, brown and green i

The club is trying to change the

President Jen Pedersen said that
the club will take part in this year's
Campus Craze as a fundraiser for the
club. They will provide t-shirts and
boxer shorts to tie-dye for only a few
dollars out on Russell Lawn.
The club will also be doing another activity to increase reycling awareness on
campus.
This is the first semester
of existence for the Environmental Club. The group began as a non-funded, small
organization of only a few

to do."
She goes on to say that
anyone is welcome to join the

people to help increase recycling

semester long, wilderness-based
courses to students who receive college credit for experiental education.
Courses emphasize outdoor adventure and personal growth, and focus on challenge, discovery and fun,
while developing self-confidence,
leadership and teamwork skills, and
respect for the environment.
Colorado Outward Bound School
courses, varying in length between
five and 81 days, include mountaineering,
Whitewater rafting,
canyoneering, and backcountry skiing/snowboarding.
The signature COBS course, a
23-day "Leadership Mountaineering" program in the heart of the
Rocky Mountains, takes students on
a seven-day basic training, ten-day
alpine testing phase, including a
three-day "solo," and a five-day final

expedition.

College credit is available for all

the Wilderness Leadership semester
courses from the Colorado Outward
Bound School. WLS courses are 50
to 81-day expeditions, which concentrate on the development of leadership, teaching, communication and
technical skills needed in back-country travel. Spring, summer, and fall
WLS programs are available with
cirriculum ranging from winter
mountaineering to desert canyoneering to sea kayaking.
Students also receive college
credit for Colorado Outward Bound
School XT (Extra Technical) Series
courses as well. These programs
range in length from 14 to 30 days,
and concentrate learning on specificareas of study. For example, the
John Wesley Powell Rafting Expedition focuses on kayaking in the
Green and Colorado Rivers, rock
climbing and canyon exploration
through Anasazi ruins, and ends rafting down Cataract Canyon in
Canyonlands National Park.
The Colorado Outward Bound

School has also developed courses in
Alaska for both the WLS and XTS
groups. Fifty-day WLS summer
courses in Alaska begin with whitewater rafting through glacier-cut
canyons, progress to the Chugach
Range for glacier mountaineering
and ice climbing, advance to sea
kayaking in the Kenai Fjords and end
back in the Chugach Range with a
five-day fianls expedition. The XTS
version of this course cover 21 days
of glacier travel, backpacking, peak
ascents and ice climbing.

Mountain educator training programs for individuals specializing
professionally in wilderness recre
ation, adventure travel or experiential education are also available.
Colorado Outward Bound School
students learn advanced adventure
skills, while experiencing personal
growth through exceptional wilderness education.

Karlo X. Ruiz
Eagle Eye Sports Editor
After the Bald Eagle boxers'
flawless performance playing host at
their very own invitational two
weeks ago, six boxers advanced to
the Northeast Regional Championships at Penn State on March 6.
Regional champions, in turn, advance to the national championships
in Reno, NV on March 26-28.
In her debut at regionals, previously unscathed freshman Christina
Munski suffered her first setback of
the season, dropping a 5-0 decision
to defending 125-pound National
Champion Christy Wilcox of PSU.
Despite the loss, Munski will be
making the trip to Reno where a rematch with Wilcox is scheduled.
"It was a close fight that could've
gone either way," commented Head
Coach Dr. Ken Cox. "It will be interesting to see what happens at nationals."
Defending 119-pound National
Champion Eric Elmer earned a
walkover victory and became only
the third collegiate boxer in history
to be a four-time Regional Champion
and four-time Ail-American.
Dave Fields (132 lbs.) scored a

decisive 4-1 decision over Penn
State's Misha Kiranov to capture the
regional title and according to teammates and coaches the national
championship that has eluded him in
his previous two trips, is well within

his grasp this time around.
LHU freshman Jeff Kerby was stopped in the third
round by the Nittany Lion's
