Lock Haven says ^yes^ Clinton County says ^no'
By Penny Englert
StcffReporter
Voters in Lock Haven affirmed their
desire for the dike-levee flood protection
system in Tuesday's general election, while
most voters in Clinton County indicated
disapproval of the project
Fifty-seven percent of voters in the city
of Lock Haven voted "yes" to the dike-levee
refoendum.
The countywide vote, however, showed
that 63 percent of the voters were against
the project
Both sides involved in the dispute—the
pro-levee Citizens for Economic Growth
and the anti-levee West Branch Valley
Flood Protection Association-claimed
victory.
The non-binding question on the ballot
was, "Should the proposed Lock Haven
Dike-Levee system be constructed?"
City Mayor Diann Stuempfle said that
she was pleased with the results of both the
city and the county.
"The results show that the voters have
confidence in their council to reduce costs
in the levee project," said Stuempfle.
"Support from the county was better
than anticipated," said councilwoman June
Houser.
Levee supporters see the Lock Haven
vote as citizen support for the continued
pursuit of the $77 milUon project
"The West Branch Valley Flood
Protection Association is thrilled with the
results," said Association President Lynn
Vannucci.
Vannucci said that although the
Association lost by the number of votes,
she believes that the Association won an
overwhelming victory since it spent only
one third of what the pro-levee supporters
spent in the campaign.
"The "yes" position won the city by a
mere 200 votes," said Vannucci.
Stuempfle said that council will explore
avenues to cut costs to taxpayers for the
dike-levee project
Vannucci said that the West Branch
Valley Flood Protection Association will
continue fund raising, collect statistics and
push for dams to be built on the
Susquehanna and its tributaries.
"The dams will protect a large area of the
county and be more cost effective," said
Vannucci.
According to figures in Wednesday's
Express, the total number of voters casting
"yes" votes for the dike-levee in Clinton
County was 3054, while 5155 voted "no."
Train whistles still tooting
By Ursula Ross
StcffReporter
Despite an ordinance being passed by the
City Council to ban the blowing of train
whistles by the Conrail trains that run past
campus, the disturbance continues.
The ordinance, which went into effect on
October 25th, was to prohibit the blowing
of whistles except in the case of
emergency.
Lock Haven Police Chief, Joseph
Sanders, said that he had contacted officials
from the Conrail Regional Office and was
informed that "the matter had been referred
to legal counsel."
Sanders said the reason given for
non-compliance was that Conrail officials
had not had enough time to respond to the
ordinance.
Sanders stated that he saw "no legitimate
reason for reprimanding individual drivers
as the comj>any was to blame."
He also said that "if a citation is issued.
it will only be because an officer was on
the scene and witnessed the violation, yet
saw no danger."
A representative from Conrail said that
since the policy of whistle-blowing has
been enacted and adhered to "the number of
accidents has greatly deaeased."
At the Lock Haven City Council
meeting on Monday, it was decided to
allow Conrail until November 9th to
further its investigations.
A decision from Conrail is expected
sometime this week.
Clinton County voters told their elected officials that they did
not want a dike-levee system built to control the Susquehanna.

Professor's words are not law
Dear Editor
According to the "Students' Rights and
Responsibilities" initiated in December of
1985, "Students enjoy the same basic civil
rights of any other American citizen. In
addition, certain rights apply within the
college community."
It also states that "It is the responsibility
of each student to exercise his/herrightsso
that the rights of others are not infringed."
So, we have not only the right but the
responsibility not to put up with
discrimination in the classroom. Not only
for our own sake, but for the sake of
others.
If professors are allowed to continue to
express unquestioned sexist and racist
attitudes as the only correct way to think,
then how can we expect students to think
any differently?

McDonalds helps MU students
Election coverage is deficient A t M i l l e r s v i l l e - In an extra students were not totally pleased wilh the
V
This past Tuesday was election day, and I was wondering if I was the only one who
was relieved that the "paid poUtical annotmcements" are over.
The campaigning I was exposed to this year concemed the elections for various public
offices in central Pennsylvania. Since I very seldom watch television, I heard the
various commercials for candidates over the radio. I do not feel that these "paid political
announcements" adequately cover the candidates they are representing.
As in nearly all political campaigns, each candidate I heard about on the radio made
promises. You know, generalizations about how they are going to mn things if they are
elected, what they will change about the current system, etc. etc. Candidates also used
some subtle mud-slinging techniques, but what is new about that? It seems that no
matter what one person does, somebody else will always think that they have a better
way of doing it.
All that aside, has anyone ever really listened to some of those "paid political
announcements?" What do they actually tell the voters anyway?
Do these short announcements provide enough information for the voters to make a
truly educated choice?
I don't think so.
I realize that anyone who is mnning for an office is going to word their speeches so
that they appear in a favorable light. No candidate is going to focus on his or her
shortcomings in a campaign speech. And, let's face it, being completely up-front and
open about one's beliefs would probably considerably lower the chances of one's success
at the polls.
So, what can be done?
Voters should feel comfortable with their choice based on concrete information rather
than voting hearing very little about the candidates from various gimmicks or catchy
slogans. Campaigns should focus on the issues that need to be addressed. Since the
"paid political announcements" that are heard on the radio or seen on television are short,
they should center around at least one important local issue and incorporate more specific
information about the candidates. It doesn't have to be impossible for an announcement
lo be brief, but to the point.

Circle K focuses on aiding the Special Olympics this year
By
Kim Schmitz
StcffReporter
Serving others is the Circle K club's
main objective and, through the many
activities they have planned this year, the
group intends to do just that
The Kiwanis, the parent organization of
Circle K, sponsors two main youth
organizations, the Key Club in high
schools and the Circle K in colleges.
These organizations are sponsored
nationwide and provide a great deal of time
and money to many different organizations
around the country. The Circle K chapter
here at LHU is sponsored by the Mill Hall
Kiwanis.
According to Deborah Pierson, LHU's
Circle K president, "Circle K simply raises
money to give away."
Of course. Circle K does much more
than just donate money to different causes.
This dedicated group devotes a great deal of
time and energy to their activities.
Although Circle K is involved in
helping many other organizations, the
Special Olympics has become a focal point
for them this year.
Local special olympians joined in this
year's Homecoming fun by riding on the
Circle K float.
"We want to be really involved with our
local special olympians. We try to support
them with more than just money," said

On the lighter side...
Everything becomes a distraction when you don't feel like studying
By Abby A. Mylin
Feature Columnist
Vegetation in my dorm room, even on
one rather dull Friday, isn't as boring as my
friends believe it to be. I was having a
great time just "dancing with myself' (with
the help of Billy Idol on my radio), and I
thought, "Girl, this is not right... You
need to get out and dance this hyper-energy
o f f rtOH'..."
Coincidence... coincidence...
Time for another adventure from the
Klutz Maniac Manual 1987 (which never
makes it to the press because it's an
on-going phenomena).
The mistake? I decided to wear the gold
ring I just bought on a different finger than
usual.
What a fool.
People like myself should try to stick to
the ordinary (which we seem to abhor), the
routine, the norm for God's sake!
Of coiu^e it got stuck, and need I go
into the grim details of my fifteen minutes
of painful agony in trying to get the dumb
thing off?
Well, I will anyway because it was so
stupid that it was funny.
After trying vaseline, ice, cold water and
every other home remedy for "stuck-ring
syndrome," I gave up.
Perhaps the result of shock, I just sat on
my butt and watched as my finger went
from pink to grayish-purple to
bluish-purple to almost black. At least I
amused the rather dead staff of the Lock
Haven Hospital emergency room, where I
noticed that my doctor had really long nose
hairs.
Dosen't that make you nauseous?
But, I must admit that the doctor's nose
hairs did take my mind off my paralyzed
black falange at least
Not that distraction has been a problem
for me lately. I think this is merely a
severe
indication
of
this
anything-but-studying-sounds-good-time in
the semester.
In a way, however, I leam a lot from my
distracting obstacles...
For instance, tho-e's a lot to be said for
female praying manitises. In a rather
friendly convo^tion, someone dropped this
fact by me: mantises mate for three days
solid. But, don't wish yourself to be a
mantis in your next life ... female mantises
actually eat their mate after copulating
those glorious three days.
Pure feminism is displayed in this literal
"one-shot deal," wouldn't you say? And it
stops those old kiss-and-tell mmors too!
Of course, there are those habitual
distractions as well ... T.V.. smoking, and
happy hour. All are dangerous not only to
our academic life but to our health as well.
When your suffering from cold-turkey
Letterman withdrawal, anything can be
amusing. This is a challenging social
disease, and, when our T.V. went on the
blink the other day, my roommate and I
surged into qualming, almost devastatinglyhypnotic states.
The sedatives prescribed to us eased the
shaking, the paralysis and the trembling
lower lip, but we still found drooling and
uncontrollable eye-tearing to be a problem.
Especially when 12:30 p.m. rolled
around and we would begin to remember
the old Letterman-one-liners ... insomnia
kept us from morning classes ... we just
couldn't function adequately throughout the
day.
Nearing hysteria one day, I screamed, at
maximum volume, "I have a grip...this
isn't bothering me at all!"
On the lighter side of our horrible social
disease, we only needed one episode after
our T.V. repair man left to rehabilitate our
wonderful perspectives on life.
One-liners are an interesting little
distraction hobby too.
Over the three years I've been at college.
I could compile quite the collection of
quotable quotes, one- liners and other little
catchy phrases. But. like I said, I'm still
working on the Klutz Maniac Manual
1987. so I will only mention my favorite
line,"Don't I know you from somewhere?"
On a campus with 2,800 students that
isn't that hard to believe. It's just too bad.

Sports EcUtor
About 500 people wimessed the debut of
the 1987-88 Bald Eagle basketball team on
Monday night as they were defeated by
Marathon Oil 92-78.
"The game was encouraging. I thought
we really came out tight and nervous," said
Head Coach Kurt Kanaskie. "At the
beginning, we tumed the ball over too
many times, and we didn't take good
shots."

and five rebounds, while Hearn and Sean
Lucas added 12 points. Jeff Null and
Kriebel chipped in 10 a piece.
Wright ended with 21 points, and Craig
Collins and Osborne had 17 each. Wells
led the Oilers with 10 boards.
"We played much better in the second
half. We executed better and made some
shots," said Kanaskie. "We never had a
combination in there long enough to get
anything going because we wanted to play
a lot of people."
"They hustled like heck for a first game.
I was real pleased for them," said Oiler
coach Glenn Sergent "They did everything
he (Kanaskie) asked them to do. I thought
that the kids played hard."
"We can really use this to evaluate our
team and to work at practice from here to
November 21," said Kanaskie.

Eaton winding down his illustrious soccer career
By Joe Jones
and
Rob Yoegel
Sports Columnists
It is said that all good things must come
to an end, but in Rob Eaton's case it should
be all great things mav come to an end.
Eaton knows his career will eventually
come to an end, but when and where are
questions which right now can not be
answered.
The end may come at McCollum field on
Sunday, or possibly while accepting an
NCAA Championship ring near the end of
the month.
"I realize it's a do or die situation," said
Eaton. "As soon as we lose, we're finished.
I know I'm not going to finish without a
good battle."
Eaton is a leader. The black captain's
stripe on his jersey denotes that
"I don't feel any pressure at all. I enjoy
the role of leading a few people," said Eaton.
Eaton knows he will have to do a little
more than that on Sunday, and in the weeks
to come in order for the team to continue its
success.

year's victory over Penn State.
"We would like more people to
participate," said McDonald.

b p t f aton feels the.longer J\e. was away, the

easier it was to adapt.
"Like a bolt of lightning. I was asked to
come to America."
Head soccer coach Lenny Long was
responsible for bringing such a superb talent
to Lock Haven.
Eaton has the highest respect for his
coach.
"Lenny Long has done for me the
equivalent of what my father has done for
me." he said. "If it wasn't for the character
he's got, things may have been different"
Eaton's memories while at Lock Haven
are very special to him. He remembers two
specific games in particular.
In his freshman year, the Bald Eagles
traveled to Gannon University for an NCAA
first round contest.
The underdog Haven pulled off a thrilling
2-1 win which sent them further on into the
toumament
The game which will forever be in his
mind, as well as in the minds of many
others, was a year ago when Lock Haven
played Penn State.
Eaton mentioned the enthusiastic crowd
which was overwhelming to him and his
teammates in their victory against the
Nittany Lions.
After Eaton graduates with a degree in
Recreation Management he would like to
stay in America.
Although he's been offered a job already,
he is applying for a graduate assistance
position at various universities.
Besides continuing college, Eaton
expressed his interest in a professional soccer
career.
"If somebody came up to me and offered a
professional contract I'd jump at it. I would
really love to play because that's what I am
best at."
Eaton is an athlete and a gentleman. He
cares about his teammates, classmates, fans,
family, and friends.
He knows how to succeed and strives for
it in everything he does.
'
When he graduates and leaves Lock
Haven, his name should be remembered
forever.

B o o t e r s r e a d y for PSAC Championship duel Boxers open
season Saturday
By Dan Hanson
Sports Editor
McCollum Field will be the place to be
this Sunday as the Bald Eagles play the
East Stroudsburg Warriors in a rematch of
last year's PSAC soccer championship.
Lock Haven won last year's tain drenched
match-up 2-1.
"We're coming to play Lock Haven, and
it's going to be difficult" said East
Stroudsburg Head Coach Jerry Sheska.
"We're going to have to play a tremendous
game to beat them."
The Warriors are ranked seventh in the
nation in the NCAA Division II poll and
have a 15-3 record, but the defense is the
big story for this team.
In the regular season ESU recorded eight
shutouts and had no more than two goals
scored against them in 16 of their 18
games.
Goaltender John Miele is the Warrior's
strength in the net with 53 saves and only
eight goals against him.
"I think the defense is pretty sound, and
we've been scoring some big goals when
we needed them," said Sheska.
The Warriors are rather sound on offense
also, led by forwards Ken Wilson (13 goals
and six assists) and Brent Fenstermacher
(13 goals and two assists).
"We look to our two forwards Wilson
and Fenstermacher," said Sheska. "Those
are the two people we really rely on."
"We're going to have to be very careful
of them (ESU)," said LHU Head Coach
Lenny Long.
Long has seen East Stroudsburg play
this season and realizes their strengths.
"They're a good team, no doubt about it.
We're going to have to play a good game to
beat them," said Long.
Lock Haven takes an 8-5-5 record into
Andrew Monteith attempts to pass by defender in action earlier this
season. The Bald Eagles take on ESU for the PSAC title on Sunday.
the contest and has recorded nine shutouts
this season.
The Bald Eagles have not given up more
than two goals in any game this season
largely due to the strong play of goalie
Warren Westcoat
"He's one of the best goalies in the
nation," said Long of the sophomore net
tender.
"Defensively we've always been a good
team," said Long. "No one is going to
score a lot of goals against us."
The offense, which was suspect at the
beginning of the season, has come along to
finish the regular season on a high note.
In the last four games the Haven has
outscored their opponents 24-2.
Responsible for this late season scoring
blitz are Tibby Kobolak, Rod Eaton, and
Gary Ross.
"I feel Rob Eaton is the most
outstanding player on the team," said
Sheska. "He's a real leader."
"Kobolak and Ross are also strong
players," added Sheska.
"We've had a real good week of practice,
and the players know what they have to
do," said Long. "Now all we have to do is
go out there and execute."
"We're going to have to be very positive
and very optimistic, and if we can do that
the results should be favorable," said
Long.
Other than the strength on offense and
defense. Long feels that the Bald Eagles
have one other key advantage in the game.
"I think we have that 12th man
advantage: playing on McCollum Field,"
said Long. "If we can generate enough
crowd interest, that could push us over the
top."
Action begins at 1:30 p.m.
The Boxing Club opens its 1987-88
season in Williamsport this Saturday night
where they will be competing in the second
Annual Bethune-Douglas Community
Center Open Invitational Amateur and
Collegiate Boxing Show.
The team is ranked fourth in the nation
according to the National Collegiate
Boxing Association (NCBA) behind first
place Navy, second place Air Force, and
third ranked Nevada-Reno.
Ten membo-s of the team are scheduled
to box on the 15 bout card against fighters

James Madison dumps Lady Eagles in regular season finale 4-3
By Maryellen Jaskuta
Sports Reporter
James Madison University (JMU) put a
damper on the Lady Eagles regular season
finale as they eamed a 4-3 win on Tuesday.
Sophomore Tara Egolf s goal from an
assist by E>oobie Caprio at the 20 minute
mark of the first half gave Lock Haven a
1-0 lead.
From that point on, the Haven had to
play catch up which, according to Head
Coach Sharon Taylor, is very difficult to
do.
Two minutes later, James Madison's
Kim Crawford answered with a goal past
Lock Haven goalie Stacy Giwgio to tie the
contest 1-1.
Jamie Little upped JMU's lead to 2-1
five minutes later as she netted a pass from
I^bbie Rigby for the halftime lead.
In the second half, James Madison hit
the scoring column first at the 47:13 mark
on a goal by Diane Buch to increase their
lead to 3-1.
Three minutes later. Lock Haven's Lisa
Coppock scored to decrease Madison's
margin to 3-2 and give some momentum
back to the Haven.
Amy Hicks put James Madison's lead to
4-2 as Lock Haven goalie Stephanie Hanser
could not clear a shot on goal, and Hicks
drove the ball into the net
With 5:30 remaining in the game. Lock
Haven's Paula Stephens drove the ball
across the right side of the field to Heidi
Firth, who promptly put the ball into the
cage.
Lock Haven outshot JMU 34 to 20 and
led in penalty comers 13 to six.
Lady Eagle goalies Giorgio and
Stephanie Hanser had four and three saves
respectively, and Ashley Duncan had 10 foi

"We nevCT took charge. We let them take

us out of our game plan, and we reacted to
what they did," said Taylor.
The three midfielders played well, and
Heidi Firth and Kim Hasson played a good
game, according to Taylor.
This weekend the Haven will travel to
Boston College to participate in the Eastem
Coast Athletic Conference (ECAC)
Toumament.
Lock Haven is the top seed in a field that
includes Dartmouth (2nd), Boston College
(4th). and Boston University.
"We have to decide if we want to go up
and play. Going up with intensity and
playing alright, we'll do fine," said Taylor.
"When we are playing well, we can play
with anybody," added Taylor.
A bid to the NCAA tournament will
depend on the team's play in the ECAC
toumey and on the selection committee of
the NCAA.
Taylor feels two more wins in the
ECAC toumament can help their chances.
"If we start playing like we know how.
we'll do well and possibly win the [ECAC]
toumament" said Egolf.

Lock Haven says ^yes^ Clinton County says ^no'
By Penny Englert
StcffReporter
Voters in Lock Haven affirmed their
desire for the dike-levee flood protection
system in Tuesday's general election, while
most voters in Clinton County indicated
disapproval of the project
Fifty-seven percent of voters in the city
of Lock Haven voted "yes" to the dike-levee
refoendum.
The countywide vote, however, showed
that 63 percent of the voters were against
the project
Both sides involved in the dispute—the
pro-levee Citizens for Economic Growth
and the anti-levee West Branch Valley
Flood Protection Association-claimed
victory.
The non-binding question on the ballot
was, "Should the proposed Lock Haven
Dike-Levee system be constructed?"
City Mayor Diann Stuempfle said that
she was pleased with the results of both the
city and the county.
"The results show that the voters have
confidence in their council to reduce costs
in the levee project," said Stuempfle.
"Support from the county was better
than anticipated," said councilwoman June
Houser.
Levee supporters see the Lock Haven
vote as citizen support for the continued
pursuit of the $77 milUon project
"The West Branch Valley Flood
Protection Association is thrilled with the
results," said Association President Lynn
Vannucci.
Vannucci said that although the
Association lost by the number of votes,
she believes that the Association won an
overwhelming victory since it spent only
one third of what the pro-levee supporters
spent in the campaign.
"The "yes" position won the city by a
mere 200 votes," said Vannucci.
Stuempfle said that council will explore
avenues to cut costs to taxpayers for the
dike-levee project
Vannucci said that the West Branch
Valley Flood Protection Association will
continue fund raising, collect statistics and
push for dams to be built on the
Susquehanna and its tributaries.
"The dams will protect a large area of the
county and be more cost effective," said
Vannucci.
According to figures in Wednesday's
Express, the total number of voters casting
"yes" votes for the dike-levee in Clinton
County was 3054, while 5155 voted "no."
Train whistles still tooting
By Ursula Ross
StcffReporter
Despite an ordinance being passed by the
City Council to ban the blowing of train
whistles by the Conrail trains that run past
campus, the disturbance continues.
The ordinance, which went into effect on
October 25th, was to prohibit the blowing
of whistles except in the case of
emergency.
Lock Haven Police Chief, Joseph
Sanders, said that he had contacted officials
from the Conrail Regional Office and was
informed that "the matter had been referred
to legal counsel."
Sanders said the reason given for
non-compliance was that Conrail officials
had not had enough time to respond to the
ordinance.
Sanders stated that he saw "no legitimate
reason for reprimanding individual drivers
as the comj>any was to blame."
He also said that "if a citation is issued.
it will only be because an officer was on
the scene and witnessed the violation, yet
saw no danger."
A representative from Conrail said that
since the policy of whistle-blowing has
been enacted and adhered to "the number of
accidents has greatly deaeased."
At the Lock Haven City Council
meeting on Monday, it was decided to
allow Conrail until November 9th to
further its investigations.
A decision from Conrail is expected
sometime this week.
Clinton County voters told their elected officials that they did
not want a dike-levee system built to control the Susquehanna.

Professor's words are not law
Dear Editor
According to the "Students' Rights and
Responsibilities" initiated in December of
1985, "Students enjoy the same basic civil
rights of any other American citizen. In
addition, certain rights apply within the
college community."
It also states that "It is the responsibility
of each student to exercise his/herrightsso
that the rights of others are not infringed."
So, we have not only the right but the
responsibility not to put up with
discrimination in the classroom. Not only
for our own sake, but for the sake of
others.
If professors are allowed to continue to
express unquestioned sexist and racist
attitudes as the only correct way to think,
then how can we expect students to think
any differently?

McDonalds helps MU students
Election coverage is deficient A t M i l l e r s v i l l e - In an extra students were not totally pleased wilh the
V
This past Tuesday was election day, and I was wondering if I was the only one who
was relieved that the "paid poUtical annotmcements" are over.
The campaigning I was exposed to this year concemed the elections for various public
offices in central Pennsylvania. Since I very seldom watch television, I heard the
various commercials for candidates over the radio. I do not feel that these "paid political
announcements" adequately cover the candidates they are representing.
As in nearly all political campaigns, each candidate I heard about on the radio made
promises. You know, generalizations about how they are going to mn things if they are
elected, what they will change about the current system, etc. etc. Candidates also used
some subtle mud-slinging techniques, but what is new about that? It seems that no
matter what one person does, somebody else will always think that they have a better
way of doing it.
All that aside, has anyone ever really listened to some of those "paid political
announcements?" What do they actually tell the voters anyway?
Do these short announcements provide enough information for the voters to make a
truly educated choice?
I don't think so.
I realize that anyone who is mnning for an office is going to word their speeches so
that they appear in a favorable light. No candidate is going to focus on his or her
shortcomings in a campaign speech. And, let's face it, being completely up-front and
open about one's beliefs would probably considerably lower the chances of one's success
at the polls.
So, what can be done?
Voters should feel comfortable with their choice based on concrete information rather
than voting hearing very little about the candidates from various gimmicks or catchy
slogans. Campaigns should focus on the issues that need to be addressed. Since the
"paid political announcements" that are heard on the radio or seen on television are short,
they should center around at least one important local issue and incorporate more specific
information about the candidates. It doesn't have to be impossible for an announcement
lo be brief, but to the point.

Circle K focuses on aiding the Special Olympics this year
By
Kim Schmitz
StcffReporter
Serving others is the Circle K club's
main objective and, through the many
activities they have planned this year, the
group intends to do just that
The Kiwanis, the parent organization of
Circle K, sponsors two main youth
organizations, the Key Club in high
schools and the Circle K in colleges.
These organizations are sponsored
nationwide and provide a great deal of time
and money to many different organizations
around the country. The Circle K chapter
here at LHU is sponsored by the Mill Hall
Kiwanis.
According to Deborah Pierson, LHU's
Circle K president, "Circle K simply raises
money to give away."
Of course. Circle K does much more
than just donate money to different causes.
This dedicated group devotes a great deal of
time and energy to their activities.
Although Circle K is involved in
helping many other organizations, the
Special Olympics has become a focal point
for them this year.
Local special olympians joined in this
year's Homecoming fun by riding on the
Circle K float.
"We want to be really involved with our
local special olympians. We try to support
them with more than just money," said
Pierson.
Pictured here, from left, are Circle K's Brian Kemmerer, Holly Etters, Terry Smith, Circle K's
Sharon Miskevich, Matthew Hessineer, "Mr. T." Taormina of Mill Hall Kiwanis and Circle K's
Amy Schultz. Circle K also has other projects planned.
The Circle K hopes to be able to attend
the Special Olympics with these local
special olympians. However, the date and
place for that event has not yet been made
available.
Circle K will be sponsoring several
fundraiso^ this year to help their efforts in
continuing their dedicated services. These
fundraisers will include various raffles and
the phone-a-thon. Much of the money
received through these fundraisers will be
donated to the Special Olympics.
On the lighter side...
Everything becomes a distraction when you don't feel like studying
By Abby A. Mylin
Feature Columnist
Vegetation in my dorm room, even on
one rather dull Friday, isn't as boring as my
friends believe it to be. I was having a
great time just "dancing with myself' (with
the help of Billy Idol on my radio), and I
thought, "Girl, this is not right... You
need to get out and dance this hyper-energy
o f f rtOH'..."
Coincidence... coincidence...
Time for another adventure from the
Klutz Maniac Manual 1987 (which never
makes it to the press because it's an
on-going phenomena).
The mistake? I decided to wear the gold
ring I just bought on a different finger than
usual.
What a fool.
People like myself should try to stick to
the ordinary (which we seem to abhor), the
routine, the norm for God's sake!
Of coiu^e it got stuck, and need I go
into the grim details of my fifteen minutes
of painful agony in trying to get the dumb
thing off?
Well, I will anyway because it was so
stupid that it was funny.
After trying vaseline, ice, cold water and
every other home remedy for "stuck-ring
syndrome," I gave up.
Perhaps the result of shock, I just sat on
my butt and watched as my finger went
from pink to grayish-purple to
bluish-purple to almost black. At least I
amused the rather dead staff of the Lock
Haven Hospital emergency room, where I
noticed that my doctor had really long nose
hairs.
Dosen't that make you nauseous?
But, I must admit that the doctor's nose
hairs did take my mind off my paralyzed
black falange at least
Not that distraction has been a problem
for me lately. I think this is merely a
severe
indication
of
this
anything-but-studying-sounds-good-time in
the semester.
In a way, however, I leam a lot from my
distracting obstacles...
For instance, tho-e's a lot to be said for
female praying manitises. In a rather
friendly convo^tion, someone dropped this
fact by me: mantises mate for three days
solid. But, don't wish yourself to be a
mantis in your next life ... female mantises
actually eat their mate after copulating
those glorious three days.
Pure feminism is displayed in this literal
"one-shot deal," wouldn't you say? And it
stops those old kiss-and-tell mmors too!
Of course, there are those habitual
distractions as well ... T.V.. smoking, and
happy hour. All are dangerous not only to
our academic life but to our health as well.
When your suffering from cold-turkey
Letterman withdrawal, anything can be
amusing. This is a challenging social
disease, and, when our T.V. went on the
blink the other day, my roommate and I
surged into qualming, almost devastatinglyhypnotic states.
The sedatives prescribed to us eased the
shaking, the paralysis and the trembling
lower lip, but we still found drooling and
uncontrollable eye-tearing to be a problem.
Especially when 12:30 p.m. rolled
around and we would begin to remember
the old Letterman-one-liners ... insomnia
kept us from morning classes ... we just
couldn't function adequately throughout the
day.
Nearing hysteria one day, I screamed, at
maximum volume, "I have a grip...this
isn't bothering me at all!"
On the lighter side of our horrible social
disease, we only needed one episode after
our T.V. repair man left to rehabilitate our
wonderful perspectives on life.
One-liners are an interesting little
distraction hobby too.
Over the three years I've been at college.
I could compile quite the collection of
quotable quotes, one- liners and other little
catchy phrases. But. like I said, I'm still
working on the Klutz Maniac Manual
1987. so I will only mention my favorite
line,"Don't I know you from somewhere?"
On a campus with 2,800 students that
isn't that hard to believe. It's just too bad.

Lucas added 12 points. Jeff Null and
Kriebel chipped in 10 a piece.
Wright ended with 21 points, and Craig
Collins and Osborne had 17 each. Wells
led the Oilers with 10 boards.
"We played much better in the second
half. We executed better and made some
shots," said Kanaskie. "We never had a
combination in there long enough to get
anything going because we wanted to play
a lot of people."
"They hustled like heck for a first game.
I was real pleased for them," said Oiler
coach Glenn Sergent "They did everything
he (Kanaskie) asked them to do. I thought
that the kids played hard."
"We can really use this to evaluate our
team and to work at practice from here to
November 21," said Kanaskie.

Eaton winding down his illustrious soccer career
By Joe Jones
and
Rob Yoegel
Sports Columnists
It is said that all good things must come
to an end, but in Rob Eaton's case it should
be all great things mav come to an end.
Eaton knows his career will eventually
come to an end, but when and where are
questions which right now can not be
answered.
The end may come at McCollum field on
Sunday, or possibly while accepting an
NCAA Championship ring near the end of
the month.
"I realize it's a do or die situation," said
Eaton. "As soon as we lose, we're finished.
I know I'm not going to finish without a
good battle."
Eaton is a leader. The black captain's
stripe on his jersey denotes that
"I don't feel any pressure at all. I enjoy
the role of leading a few people," said Eaton.
Eaton knows he will have to do a little
more than that on Sunday, and in the weeks
to come in order for the team to continue its
success.

year's victory over Penn State.
"We would like more people to

b p t f aton feels the.longer J\e. was away, the

easier it was to adapt.
"Like a bolt of lightning. I was asked to
come to America."
Head soccer coach Lenny Long was
responsible for bringing such a superb talent
to Lock Haven.
Eaton has the highest respect for his
coach.
"Lenny Long has done for me the
equivalent of what my father has done for
me." he said. "If it wasn't for the character
he's got, things may have been different"
Eaton's memories while at Lock Haven
are very special to him. He remembers two
specific games in particular.
In his freshman year, the Bald Eagles
traveled to Gannon University for an NCAA
first round contest.
The underdog Haven pulled off a thrilling
2-1 win which sent them further on into the
toumament
The game which will forever be in his
mind, as well as in the minds of many
others, was a year ago when Lock Haven
played Penn State.
Eaton mentioned the enthusiastic crowd
which was overwhelming to him and his
teammates in their victory against the
Nittany Lions.
After Eaton graduates with a degree in
Recreation Management he would like to
stay in America.
Although he's been offered a job already,
he is applying for a graduate assistance
position at various universities.
Besides continuing college, Eaton
expressed his interest in a professional soccer
career.
"If somebody came up to me and offered a
professional contract I'd jump at it. I would
really love to play because that's what I am
best at."
Eaton is an athlete and a gentleman. He
cares about his teammates, classmates, fans,
family, and friends.
He knows how to succeed and strives for
it in everything he does.
'
When he graduates and leaves Lock
Haven, his name should be remembered
forever.

B o o t e r s r e a d y for PSAC Championship duel Boxers open
season Saturday
By Dan Hanson
Sports Editor
McCollum Field will be the place to be
this Sunday as the Bald Eagles play the
East Stroudsburg Warriors in a rematch of
last year's PSAC soccer championship.
Lock Haven won last year's tain drenched
match-up 2-1.
"We're coming to play Lock Haven, and
it's going to be difficult" said East
Stroudsburg Head Coach Jerry Sheska.
"We're going to have to play a tremendous
game to beat them."
The Warriors are ranked seventh in the
nation in the NCAA Division II poll and
have a 15-3 record, but the defense is the
big story for this team.
In the regular season ESU recorded eight
shutouts and had no more than two goals
scored against them in 16 of their 18
games.
Goaltender John Miele is the Warrior's
strength in the net with 53 saves and only
eight goals against him.
"I think the defense is pretty sound, and
we've been scoring some big goals when
we needed them," said Sheska.
The Warriors are rather sound on offense
also, led by forwards Ken Wilson (13 goals
and six assists) and Brent Fenstermacher
(13 goals and two assists).
"We look to our two forwards Wilson
and Fenstermacher," said Sheska. "Those
are the two people we really rely on."
"We're going to have to be very careful
of them (ESU)," said LHU Head Coach
Lenny Long.
Long has seen East Stroudsburg play
this season and realizes their strengths.
"They're a good team, no doubt about it.
We're going to have to play a good game to
beat them," said Long.
Lock Haven takes an 8-5-5 record into

season. The Bald Eagles take on ESU for the PSAC title on Sunday.
the contest and has recorded nine shutouts
this season.
The Bald Eagles have not given up more
than two goals in any game this season
largely due to the strong play of goalie
Warren Westcoat
"He's one of the best goalies in the
nation," said Long of the sophomore net
tender.
"Defensively we've always been a good
team," said Long. "No one is going to
score a lot of goals against us."
The offense, which was suspect at the
beginning of the season, has come along to
finish the regular season on a high note.
In the last four games the Haven has
outscored their opponents 24-2.
Responsible for this late season scoring
blitz are Tibby Kobolak, Rod Eaton, and
Gary Ross.
"I feel Rob Eaton is the most
outstanding player on the team," said
Sheska. "He's a real leader."
"Kobolak and Ross are also strong
players," added Sheska.
"We've had a real good week of practice,
and the players know what they have to
do," said Long. "Now all we have to do is
go out there and execute."
"We're going to have to be very positive
and very optimistic, and if we can do that
the results should be favorable," said
Long.
Other than the strength on offense and
defense. Long feels that the Bald Eagles
have one other key advantage in the game.
"I think we have that 12th man
advantage: playing on McCollum Field,"
said Long. "If we can generate enough
crowd interest, that could push us over the
top."
Action begins at 1:30 p.m.
The Boxing Club opens its 1987-88
season in Williamsport this Saturday night
where they will be competing in the second
Annual Bethune-Douglas Community
Center Open Invitational Amateur and

James Madison dumps Lady Eagles in regular season finale 4-3
By Maryellen Jaskuta
Sports Reporter
James Madison University (JMU) put a
damper on the Lady Eagles regular season
finale as they eamed a 4-3 win on Tuesday.
Sophomore Tara Egolf s goal from an
assist by E>oobie Caprio at the 20 minute
mark of the first half gave Lock Haven a
1-0 lead.
From that point on, the Haven had to
play catch up which, according to Head
Coach Sharon Taylor, is very difficult to
do.
Two minutes later, James Madison's
Kim Crawford answered with a goal past
Lock Haven goalie Stacy Giwgio to tie the
contest 1-1.
Jamie Little upped JMU's lead to 2-1
five minutes later as she netted a pass from
I^bbie Rigby for the halftime lead.
In the second half, James Madison hit
the scoring column first at the 47:13 mark
on a goal by Diane Buch to increase their
lead to 3-1.
Three minutes later. Lock Haven's Lisa
Coppock scored to decrease Madison's
margin to 3-2 and give some momentum
back to the Haven.
Amy Hicks put James Madison's lead to
4-2 as Lock Haven goalie Stephanie Hanser
could not clear a shot on goal, and Hicks
drove the ball into the net
With 5:30 remaining in the game. Lock
Haven's Paula Stephens drove the ball
across the right side of the field to Heidi
Firth, who promptly put the ball into the
cage.
Lock Haven outshot JMU 34 to 20 and
led in penalty comers 13 to six.
Lady Eagle goalies Giorgio and
Stephanie Hanser had four and three saves
respectively, and Ashley Duncan had 10 foi

"We nevCT took charge. We let them take

us out of our game plan, and we reacted to
what they did," said Taylor.
The three midfielders played well, and
Heidi Firth and Kim Hasson played a good
game, according to Taylor.
This weekend the Haven will travel to
Boston College to participate in the Eastem
Coast Athletic Conference (ECAC)
Toumament.
Lock Haven is the top seed in a field that
includes Dartmouth (2nd), Boston College
(4th). and Boston University.
"We have to decide if we want to go up
and play. Going up with intensity and
playing alright, we'll do fine," said Taylor.
"When we are playing well, we can play
with anybody," added Taylor.
A bid to the NCAA tournament will
depend on the team's play in the ECAC
toumey and on the selection committee of
the NCAA.
Taylor feels two more wins in the
ECAC toumament can help their chances.
"If we start playing like we know how.
we'll do well and possibly win the [ECAC]
toumament" said Egolf.

A more specific grading policy, allowing
a plus or minus to be tacked on to the
student's letter grade, will take effect this
semester.
The new system is the result of a year's
planning and reorganizing, particularly of
the extensive computer programs which had
to be adapted to accommodate it
In support of the system, Becky Fetzer,
a junior Elementary Education major said,
"Previously, a mark of 89 would only rate
a 'B.' With the new system, professors
will award an 'A-'."
Sophomore joumalism major Stephanie
