Blaze breaks out behind Smith Hall
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Sports Editor_
Afire broke out on the hill behind Smith
Hall that leads down to the PUB parking lot
at approximately 10:55 a.m. yesterday
morning, injuring no one.
The blaze started at the bottom of the
hill by the sidewalk and .spread into a circle
shape about 12 feet in diameter. Within
seconds, the flames ignited the entire section of the hill.
The University maintenance crew was
first on the scene and used fire extinguishers and rakes to put out the fire. By the time
the Lock Haven fire trucks arrived, the
maintenance team had most of the fire out.
Onlookers lined the PUB balcony along
the Eagle Wing Snack Bar as the fire was
brought under control. John Myers, manager of the Snack Bar, was one of the first
people to see the fire.
He reported that he did not see anyone
near the scene when he arrived, but that he
thought it might have been accidentaly
started. "1 thought someone might have
flicked a cigarrette on there."
One reason the blaze spread so easily,
according to L.aw Enforcement, was the

crowned vetch that is laid down over the
grass every winter. It's a dead brush that
stays very flammable when dry. "That stuff
is terrible this time of year," said Myers.
Officer
Gary Barrett of Law
Enforcement reported that there has never
been an intentional fire on the embankment
before. They also believe that the probable
cause was a discarded cigarette.
Lock Haven firefighters soaked the
ground with water to prevent the blaze from
flaring up again. Firefighter Duanne Davis
said a formal investigation has not been
started. "Campus police will handle this
investigation," said Davis. His summation
was a misplaced cigarrette as well.
Snack Bar employee Ken Klobe was
also on the scene early. He expressed
amazement at the sight of the blaze. "I
thought it was probably smokers," commented Klobe.
The fire was extinguished and the fire
company left by 11:30 a.m.
Law
Enforcement will continue to investigate
the cause of the blaze, but evidence is
sparse. If anybody has information pertaining to the cau.se of the fire they are asked to
contact Law Enforcement at x2278.

Campus maintenance crews use rakes to pound out the fire that started
yesterday morning. The fire was mostly out before firefighters arrived.

The third annual Oxford Debates featured the topic, "This House believes that
true love waits" and kept the audience
laughing throughout the presentations.
The debate, sponsored by the Student
Cooperative Council (SCC) and the Haven
Activities Council (HAC), was conducted
under the rules of the Oxford Union
Society. These rules allow for any debater
or audience member to call a point of information for spontaneous rebuttal at any time
during debate. Such points of information
were either critical or humorous and added
to the amusement of the event.
Speakers for the affirmative side were
Amanda Mulfinger and Jamilla Wilson

from the University and John Curbishley
and Dominic Hughes from the Oxford
Society.
Speakers for the opposition consisted
of Larry Flint and Bob Knerr from the
University and Adrian Blair and Amanda
Pritchard from the Oxford Society.

Who got caught... Clinton County Children's
P o l i c e B e a t Festival celebrates youth
by Cynthia Graham
Eagle Eye News Editor_
Harassment by Communications ~
April 9: A female student in one of the residence halls called to report that someone
had been calling her. This case is currently
under investigation.
Harassment by Communications ~
April 6: An unknown caller used foul language and made threats to a student in one
of the residence halls. There are some possible suspects.
Harassment by Communications —
Police are currently working on a harassment by communications case for a female
.student in Russell Hall. Charges have been
filed against a female student in one of the
residence halls. This has been ongoing
since March.
Assault ~ April 5: A desk receptionist
at Law Enforcement was assaulted by a student. The receptionist was grabbed by the
throat and shoved up against the wall. The
suspect involved admitted to the crime.
The victim did not press charges and the
case was turned over to Student Life.
Minor Drinking — April 4: The person involved had to be transported to the
hospital by ambulance and was later cited
for minor drinking.
Disorderly Conduct -- April 4: An
intoxicated male in one of the residence
halls struck a student. The victim has
declined to press charges. This case has
been referred to Student Life.

In its 17th consecutive year, the Clinton
County Children and Youth Festival was
held at the University, with the theme
"Celebrating Youth," that attracted a host
of student clubs, organizations and local
businesses to Thomas Field House on
Saturday.
The festival kicked of with an early
morning parade and according to Zakir
Hossain, associate professor of sociology,
anthropology and social work, and the festival's coordinator, this year's event was
geared toward showcasing the talents and
contributions of county youth. He said he
was very pleased with the 15 to 20 student
clubs that participated and with the large
turn out of local businesses.
Festival participants set up an array of
booths that exhibited services and activities
offered by their respective club, business or
organization.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation, an
organization that grants requests to children
ages two to 18 suffering from life threatening illnesses, participated in the fair.
Representative Harreitte Justh said her
organization was there to create referrals in
hopes of discovering children who were eligible for wishes. In the past, Justh said the
foundation had granted a wish to Disney
World in Miami and purchased a swimming
pool for a child. She encouraged county
residents to contact the local foundation
office at 748-3523 or at 1-800-676-WlSH

in Pittsburgh.
John Hecker, a forester with the Bureau
of Forestry under the Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources, said
his organization participated in the festival
for the past six years.
His display showcased various recreational activities in the Sproul Forest
District available to the public. Such activities include skiing, hiking and hunting,
along with a host of others. Hecker also
provided informational brochures on the
prevention of forest fires, which, according
to Hecker, 99 percent of the time are caused
by careless human activities.
Children and adults alike enjoyed the
free food and door prizes provided by local
businesses. Many student groups such as
Phi Sigma Pi, in conjunction with the
Newman Center, did face paintings and
other creative projects with the children.
Amy Strouse, children's librarian at the
Ross Library, displayed several new books
the library recently received. She said the
library has participated in the fair for six
years and that she enjoyed the event.
As the festivities continued, the Judo
Club thrilled the large audience with high
performance demonstrations. Members at
various ranks in the discipline used a number of kicking and chopping techniques to
break pieces of wood.
Toward the end of the event, the
University's Dance Company performed to
popular hits "If I Could Reach" by recording artist Gloria Estefan and "Don't Cry for
Me Argentina" by Madonna.

Students learn to
defend themselves
by Chris Adams
Eagle Eye News Reporter
The Women's Resource Coalition
(WRC) hosted a self defense class,
instructed by the Karate Club, this week.
The first part of the class consisted of
a question and answer period, with Karate
Club instructor Brad Spong fielding the
questions. After Spong answered ;he participants question, members of the Karate
Club demonstrated the points that Spong
tried to convey.
After the question and answer session,
Spong went on to make additional points
about self defense. He stressed "situational awareness," which is thinking
about your actions without putting yourself at risk. Spong also raised the point
that the law requires a person to stop their
defense after a threat is negated.
Otherwise, the person becomes the legal
attacker.
In the next phase of the class t*'e participants broke into small groups and
were shown basic releases and escapes by
members of the Karate Club.

Debate from page 1
The affirmative side attempted to prove
that true love will wait for sex. The affirmative side talked about the stages of love.
Mulfinger described love as a "living
breathing object of art."
The opposition essentially stated that
love is nothing and sex is everything. Flint
analyzed the act of giving a girl flowers to
win her love and broke it down to say that
flowers are plant genitalia and should not
be used as an opportunity to win affection
or the "ridiculous idea of true love."
Audience members had a chance to
comment on the progress of the debate
midway through it. They provided humorous insight to the debate.
The audience voted after all of the
speakers delivered their sides and determined which side won. The audience voted
for the opposition. Apparently this House
does not believe that true love waits. - ^

Criminal mischief on
the rise at Edinboro
EDINBORO - The reports of criminal
mischief continue to build as the semester
goes on, and police are fed up.
Within the past two weeks, six criminal
mischief reports have been filed, and damages top $450.
"It's getting really bad," said Thomas
O. Nelson, campus police chief. "We're
doing what we can to prevent it."
'The number of reports is considerable,
and the cost is considerable," he added.
"The
cost
is
borne
by

through fees."
Among the reports in the past two
weeks, fire crackers were set off in
Scranton Hall stairwell, a vending machine
in Dearborn Hall was broken into and
items stolen, and graffiti was found on a
stall in a second floor L.awrence Towers
bathroom.
"Anests will be made if any individuals
are determined to become involved,"
Nelson warned.
"Additional steps to normal will be
taken to catch mischeivious individuals,"
stated Deputy Cheif Paul Bennetti.

Curiosity killed the cat! But don't let it

may even begin to question who we are.
When we question our sexuality, we often
do not know who to turn to, or what to i
It is a confusing and scary time.

Students complains about noisy
people in the library
Dear Editor:
I am in my second year at Lock Haven
University and I use the library quite frequently. I use it for research, studying,
tutoring and just as a quiet place to read.
However, recently I have been very disappointed in the standard of conduct in the
library and the atmosphere that it provides.
I walk into the library in my hometown
and it is quiet. If some noisy people walk
in they are asked to lower their volume or
leave. I believe this is a general library
norm which every library should use,
including Stevenson Library. I hear noise
from people and groups laughing, talking
and discussing. I do understand that people
need to talk and communicate with one
another, but they should do so with a whisper or low tone.

a week to tutor and we (tutors) have been
blamed for much of the excessive noise.
We were warned by Carla Langdon (tutorial supervisor) to be more quiet or move our
groups to another meeting place. But I do
not feel that it is the tutoring groups that are
being so rude and noisy.
The blame should lay upon the students
and people of the community who use the
library as a place to discuss and not study.
The tutors are there to help other students
learn and if indeed we are being too noisy
we will move. The library staff should control the noise level, perhaps first with a
warning. If that does not solve the problem, then those who are loud should be
asked to leave.

Close encounters with the nocturnal kind
So many of us who live off campus are
quite familiar by now with what I not so
affectionately refer to as "Things-that-happen-that-make-you-wonder-why-you-leftthe-dorms-in-the-first-place." Like, pipes
suddenly bursting, furnaces almost exploding, roofs collapsing, toilets overflowing,
scary people peering into your windows,
the deranged neighbor from down the street
who likes to walk in behind the company
you invited, as if he was one of them... a lot
can happen when one rents (take it from
me) or for that matter, owns property.
Well, last week I had an adventure of
another kind. That is why I would like to
warn all of you renters who have holes in
your roofs and/or are fond of leaving doors
or windows wide open to air the place out.
I shall preface this by saying that until this
experience I only possessed two phobias:
spiders and clowns. (It is a long story and
no, they do not have to be together, alone is
frightening enough. But, I tell you, the day
I see a daddy long legs with a fake red nose
ready to throw a tiny pie at me is the day I
check myself into a nice, padded, white
room.) Anyways, what I am saying is,
thanks to last week I have a new phobia and
anyone out there who can identify with me
will probably feel the horror I felt as I experienced this.
The scene: a quiet Thursday night in my
living room. My roommate's boyfriend
hears a scuffling noise coming from the
ceiling tile of the kitchen. (My room, by
the way, is located above the kitchen.) He
figures it to be a mouse (new problem for
us, one whose prospect did not thrill me,
but I can think of a lot worse infestations),
but can not locate it, so we soon forget all
about it. Once or twice another roommate,
who knows I am squeamish, jokes about
how my room is closest to the noise and I
might have some late night visitor .scurrying around, but I laugh and forget it...kind
of.
Around 11,1 get a knock at the door and
who should arrive but a very close friend
back from Europe a day before she said she
would be returning. It was so good to see
her (and all the German chocolate she
brought us) but even funnier was her
appearance. Remember the episode of
"The Brady Bunch" where Jan is tired of
her look and buys a big, black curly wig?
Well, my friend is wearing the exact same
one, apparently left over from making a
fashion statement at some European disco.
She looks hilarious.
We start talking about old times and
everyone else in the house has long since
gone to sleep. We are laughing so loud, we
decide to hang out in my room so as not to
disturb my roommates. We are situated
quite comfortably up there for about a half
hour, looking at old albums, reminiscing

and discussing the differences of European
lifestyles. All of a sudden, she lets out a
shriek like someone tried to murder her or
something. Even though I do not know the
reason, the shriek is contagious so of
course, I start shrieking. Two seconds into
the mystery reason for the shrieking, it
swoops at my head. In sheer terror I realize
there is a bat, a big, scary, black bat hovering in laps around my room. After five
more seconds of shrieking, my friend and I
do this little dance which I think coupled

with the shrieking scared this intruder, I
somehow find the scruples to exit my room,
which, by the way, has a sticky door jamb.
The screaming continues in the hallway.
One of my roommates just is not awake
enough to register what is happening; the
other awakens annoyed from deep slumber
and advises me to sleep in the living room.
Easy for her to say, there is no rat with
wings orbiting around all her precious
belongings (although I can understand how
she was getting only three hours of sleep to
begin with and had no desire to at the time
participate in any type of Bat Evacuation).
I am from New York and although I
spent some of my childhood in the suburbs,
where I frequently saw bats in the sky, I
have no clue what to do. Do I club it?
(Yuck-scary!) Try to trap it? What if it is
rabid? What if it is hiding and ambushes
me? What if it brought friends? And worse
of all, how much time would I have to
spend in therapy if it ever got trapped in my
hair?
I call my roommate's boyfriend and
although he had been keen on killing the
mouse before, he is not too keen on me
waking him up at 2 a.m., or that I suddenly
lack all listening skills due to my state of
panic. I tossed around calling the cops,
thought better of it. I paged and paged my
boyfriend who I knew was a) an hour and
a half away, b) sleeping and c) not likely to
hear the pager anyway. The lady at his paging service, who I have never met, took
such pity on me that she offered advice and
took my number down just in case she
thought of any other advice. Meanwhile,
my almost-jetlagged-newly-back-fromEurope-friend, seeing my distress, and
remembering priceless times when finding
a spider in the bathroom would traumatize
me for days, took matters into her own
hands. Clad in her giant Jan Brady wig,

wearing oven mitts and carrying an old
sponge mop, she bravely set forth to do battle with this nocturnal nuisance. While she
did that, as I prayed the bat would not infect
her with rabies and/or mistake the giant Jan
Brady wig for a safe bat haven, I dialed
another friend at the radio station where my
boyfriend works to ask advice. (He gets
bored alone all night playing songs by himself.) After christening me Batgirl (Ha, ha)
and promising I would never live this
down, he announces my dilemma over the
air, and wouldn't you know it, gets a few
phone calls filled with bat ridding advice.
Apparently the best thing to do is trap it and
release it, not kill it. Well, I am not too
fond of blood, but this peaceable approach
did not matter because there was no way in
hell I was going to enter the same room as
the bat. Period. Meanwhile, although my
wigged friend had succeeded in opening
the fire escape door adjacent to my room,
she did not hang out long enough to see if
the bat left or not. And with a messy room
filled with furniture, and of course, the
closet door 1 normally keep shut, open a
crack, there was no telling for sure where
the bat was. The thing certain was that it
looked like I was to be awake permanently
for the rest of my life.
Luckily, I heard noise by the porch of
our duplex and found two intoxicated
friends of neighbors more than happy to
help me out. They brought tennis rackets
and searched the closet ceiling, behind the
furniture, etc. (Hey-drunk guys who are
not afraid of bats are better than nothing.)
Although their impairment was hindered by
alcohol, 1 must say the search seemed thorough (and loud) enough to lead me to
believe the bat flew out of my home, back
to his. Oh, how I regret that naive belief
now.
The guys left. My friend left. At 4
a.m., with the lights on, 1 drift into a
strange, stressful sleep, with the covers
completely over my head. I awoke at 10
a.m.. It appeared as if my room was completely bat-free. I moved about freely; getting dressed, making phone calls. La, la, la,
la, minding my own business.
Friends at school sympathized with me
after hearing the explanation for the huge
circles around my eyes. I went back home
and took a nap in my room without any
covers, because the weather was so warm
and the breeze from the window felt so
good.
I watched some TV early evening, and
then two friends invited me to Happy Hour.
After the night I had, a few cold draughts in
a bat-free environment seemed a good idea.
I went back upstairs to get my shoes and
my ID and before turning the knob, remembered to look up to the ceiling, well, out of

Student argues for the right
of employment
Dear Editor:
I am a junior Journalism major wiih an
intense love and knowledge of sports I
also find the field of sports information
very interesting and would like to pursue it
in my future plans. I have woiked in
sports information on this campus but not
with the Lock Haven University Sports
Information Office (SID). I have worked
for Mr. Steve Murray in the PSAC sports
information office.
I worked in that office because of my
love of sports and because Mr. Murray was
hiring campus employment positions,
which I am. I have waited for three years
to get a job in the University sports infor
mation office, waiting my time patiently
and hoping for a campus employment slot
to open.
Well, a slot has opened for next semester and I was a really happy camper, until I
read down and saw that 1997 graduates
and spring 1998 graduates will not be considered for the job! Now, wait a minute, I
have waited three years and because I will
only be around one year means that I am
not qualified for the job?
I have done statistics, which is a major
component of a SID's student assistant,
with Mr. Murray and a more wide-scale
spectrum then here at LHU. I his c also
learned a lot from Steve Murray about
being a good SID and writing a proper
release; skills I will take with me into the
job market. But the powers to be at the
Public Relatiorts office believe that my
skills are not good enough because I will
graduate in one year? This is not fair, this
is discrimination.
I waited a long time to get experience
on the school level, waiting for a slot to
open, and this is the reward I get! 1 feel
like a child waiting 365 days for
Christmas, running downstairs on
Christmas Eve and finding no presents
under the tree This is completely unfair
and punishing the wrong people.

Christopher Nagy

-Opinion/Editorial
Tales speaks out against STRAIGHT organization
Hiddy-hoe neighbors and welcome to
this week's edition of Tales From the Hard
Side, I am your host Bob Dole. I have
returned from the campaign trail a bruised
and battered man, but I have finally caught
my breath and I am ready to bring you your
weekly dose of Tales From the Hard Side
because I know some of you were in withdrawal the past couple weeks. So without
further interruption here is this week's column.
Recently it has been brought to my
attention that a group that has just recently
been given club status at Penn State is considering moving east down Interstate 80 to
Lock Haven University. The name of that
group is STRAIGHT and they bring with
them trouble
and
more trouble.
STRAIGHT is an acronym for Students
Reinforcing Adherence in General
Heterosexual Tradition. To me STRAIGHT
stands for nothing but trouble.
STRAIGHT comes right out and says
they are not "gay-bashers," they are just
promoting their freedom of speech. I really
think the US congress should reconsider the
whole First Amendment thing because people like Darin Loccarini, founder of
STRAIGHT, and his little band of antisocial, ignorant followers have nothing to
hide behind. Penn State's student court and
student government tried to make a stand

against STRAIGHT by not giving them
official status but as soon as that happened
the American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) swarmed on Nittany Valley like
prospectors during the Gold Rush in
California. Under increased pressure, the
Student Organizations Appeals Board
allowed STRAIGHT to exist as an organization at Penn State and ever since then
S T R A I G H T ' S membership has skyrocketed.
Now back to
the situation at
h a n d ,
STRAIGHT
coming to Lock
Haven.
Lock
Haven
does
have a homosexual population therefore
STRAIGHT coming to Lock Haven could
ignite a powder keg. When you take
STRAIGHT to its core, it is nothing but a
hate group. They want to promote heterosexual activity but is a group really necessary for that? I believe heterosexual ideals
are promoted everyday in the media and on
television, so is STRAIGHT really needed?
I believe STRAIGHT is as much needed as the KKK is. (Yeah right) But in this
day and age the KKK, neo-nazis, and
STRAIGHT are pushing more and more
into the mainstream. Just last weekend the

is power, but understanding is key. We
need to understand the LGBSL and other
minority organizations on campus.
This is not a homosexual-heterosexual
battle, it is a battle between ignorance and
understanding, a battle understanding must
win if we all want to live together in peace
in the future. STRAIGHT will not stop at
LHU, but will try to branch out. In the end
STRAIGHT will fail because of people like
you and me who will take a stand against
what they are doing because we have an
understanding of all people that walk on
God's green earth.
Well that about wraps it up for this
week's fun filled edition of Tales From the
Hard Side. I want to take this time ro thank
all that supfxtrted me and my running mate,
Jamie Patton, in the SCC election and send
a special shout-out to Jamie for his victory.

paranoia, but you never know, right? Well,
as if he was waiting for me, the bat
swoofjed at me for the second time in less
than 24 hours. After the second time, I
screamed a continuous, crazy scream, only
this time I almost fell down the stairs in my
hurry to get away.
My roommates did not even need to be
told the reasons for my sudden
panic. I began shaking more and
more at the realization that this
disgusting, possibly diseased rat
with wings apparently spent over
twelve hours, nice as you please,
being my new roommate. I also
believe he must have been sleeping wherever he had been hiding
as I napped that afternoon, but
what is to say in those couple of hours of
darkness the night before, long after my
friend in the Jan Brady wig or the guys with
the rackets did not find him, as I slept under
the cover, he was well, hanging out with
me.
Another friend, who we have dubbed
Yahoo Sue because of her love of country
and cowboys, who I now revere as truly
brave, along with a roommate who has
lived with me long enough to know that one
more close encounter with the nocturnal

KKK and the Neo-nazis had a rally in
Pittsburgh, which is not far from State
College, which is not far from Lock Haven.
I believe everybody has the right to
their own opinion but this is taking it a bit
too far. STRAIGHT is nothing but a bunch
of hate-mongers who are looking for a fight
and are getting membership from the people who are misinformed. A point could be
made about Lock Havens own Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual Student
League (LGBSL) but
they are
promoting
something that is not
m a i n s t r e a m .
Heterosexual activity is
mainstream, that is how
Mr. Loccarini got on this
planet. STRAIGHT is
bad news, and bad news is coming to LHU.
So you ask me, "Chris, how can we stop
this?" Well if STRAIGHT comes to Lock
Haven we really cannot stop it or prevent it,
they do have a right to free speech but we
can handle this in a way that makes
STRAIGHT look like the losers that they
are. I had a professor here who told me,
"The only way to battle bad speech is with
better speech." That is what we will do.

kind, would stun me into catatonia, and a
newer roommate (the same one who was
not awake enough to realize the events of
the night before as they transpired) grabbed
a sponge mop, another pair of oven mitts
and commenced trying to finally get the bat
out of my room and out of my life.
I heard all kinds of turmoil echo from
upstairs as I sat trying to be calm
with another friend who reassured
me that bats had been in her house
before and she was ok. What a
cacophony of sound. I heard furniture moving, my friends
.screeching, the bat squealing and
lots of other thumps and thuds. I
did not care what broke. I just
wanted my friends to be safe and
the bat to be gone.
After 25 minutes or so, the Bat Patrol,
joined us downstairs. After scaring the bat
into several crevices, they finally got it
wedged somehow between the pages of an
old copy of Cosmo (Thank you, Helen
Gurley Brown), out onto the fire escape and
well, forced him to finally fly aWay.
Three days later, I am still skittish as I
walk down the street and a dry leaf floats
my way on the breeze. I continue to look
up every time I open any door in my house.

Remember that we can all make this
place a little better, we just have to work at
it. Peace....

It takes a long time to drift off to sleep.
My roommate's mother told me bats are
afraid of Lysol. They emit a noise when
encountering it, a useful way to be alerted
to their presence. Needless to say, my new
best friend is the can of Lysol at my bedside.
The moral of this tale: If my experience
scared you the least bit and you live off
campus, watch those open doors and holes
in your attic. You never know when a bat
might get separated from his pack, horde,
flock...whatever it is they travel in.
Beware.

Black Elk to speak
this weekend
Dr. Denys Gary, Professor of Speech and
Theatre will direct the University Spring
Mainstage Theatre Production of Black Elk
Speaks this weekend and next, April 17-19,
at 8:00 p.m. in the Sloan Fine Arts Center.
Gary chose the play for its unique insight
of Native American life. "The history books
give one picture of what happened; now this
is a chance to see what happened from the
Native American viewpoint," he says.
Gary admits he has always had an interest in Native American culture, as his wife's
grandfather was full Cherokee Indian. Yet
his interest in this particular play stems from
the impact and origin of the script.
Gary planned to direct the play about
three years ago, but was not granted clearance as the publishing company was in the
process of organizing another version of the
playEven after the newer version was available, Gary chose to direct the original play
based on a novel by John Neihardt, a widely recognized historian, poet and friend to
Black Elk. "This version has a beautiful
script," Gary explains, "and it is very compelling. The newer version lacks the feeling
this one has."
The lead character of the play, Blacjt
Elk, lived from a time just before the White
Man entered his part of the world through
the end of Native American independence.

#1 RANKED F U N D R A I S E R

The play tells the history of the Native
American people, their goals, trials and way
of life, as written by Neihardt.
The play also explains the spiritual
beliefs of the Native American people and
gives their persjjective of the many battles,
including Little Big Horn and Wounded
Knee.
Gary enjoys Black Elk Speaks as it
shows the audience the experiences of
Native Americans and the goals they pursued. "The play discusses the dreams people have. We should appreciate that because
we all have the same dreams."
The play boasts a large cast, most of
whom have taken the challenge of more than
one role. The main character. Black Elk, is
played by Sunny Kalsi.
The remaining cast includes: Ian Davis,
Jody Ratti, Nathan Thomas, Jason Moyle,
Michael DeRosier, Grant Hildebrandt,
Ammon Taylor Witman, E.J. Shiflet,
Douglas Tupper, Jessica Miller, Arwyn
Wilkinsky, Stacy Matthews, Kimberly
Justice, Jenny Butler, Jennifer Johns, Holly
Sutliff and Tracie Drumheller.

Alright, so you have this brand new club
whose constitution has just been passed by
the SCC. Your club: the "Rednecks Who
Enjoy Reading Vogue Magazine Club," or
RWERVM for short. The president of
RWERVM, Joe Bobb, wants to get the word
out to similar clubs around the nation that
his club exists, so what does he do? If he is
an intelligent redneck, he will contact the
Administrators of the Phoenix Web server to
get his club's Web page up and operating.
That's right folks. In case you have been
locked away in a dungeon with Herff
Applewhite, then you must know that any
SCC sponsored club or organization can
obtain a Phoenix account where they may
place their club's home page.
Therefore the subject of this week's will
not necessarily be about the Phoenix server,
but about what and how you can now do
with your account. We will cover things like
how to get your account, what rules you
should abide by and some special techniques you can use to enhance your knowledge about web pages.
To obtain a Phoenix account, simply email phoenix at admin@phoenix.lhup.edu,
and tell them your club would like its own
homepage. Only two people may have
access to the password of that account: the

of the
organization and the

Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
A small crowd gathered on April 8, to
watch the comedy trio No Timebring their
off-the-wall comedy, combined with art,
and music to the stage of Price Performance
Center.
Since the comic trio was started in
1990, they have toured all over the United
States and Canada. They have appeared at
such well-known clubs as The Laugh
Factory in Los Angeles, the Hard Rock
Cafe in Washington, D.C. and the Comic
Strip and Carolines in New York City.
The show began with "a song for our
generation," complete with guitar and
bongo accompaniment . The song combined the childhood-commercial jingle for
bologna complete with free samples
thrown at the audience.
Two of the highly-receptive audience
members were invited to participate with
the cast in mosh musical chairs, where participants moshed each other out of the way
to get the last chair.
Other highlights to the show included
No Time's imitation of Bill Clinton giving a
speech, as an interpreter signed the true

gestures of his dialouge.
Other assests to the show were a poem
that explains what it is like to be part of
this trio and a song about "the girl at the
Gap."
Violent outbursts of laughter were
heard throughout the auditorium as members of the crew went into the audience.
A classic example of the group's zaniness was displayed when one member of
the cast ran into the audience with a Ken
doll strapped to his head.
No Time ended their performance with
their version of a human peanut butter and
jelly sandwich, which brought overwhelming applause.
No Time will soon be appearing in
Williamsport. For further information,
check out their Web site at www.notime.org,

Boxers prepare for NCBA Championship
by Chad Forry
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Lock Haven University had four boxers
win ECBA titles last month which qualified
them for the National Collegiate Boxing
Association (NCBA) next weekend at the
Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.
Winning titles were Eric Elmer, 119;
Dave Fields, 125; Fred Druding, 132; and
Jason Fletcher, 156.
A fifth Eagle pugilist, Tony Penecale,
172, has been selected by the NCBA executive committee to fill the fourth spot in the
172 division at the national tournament.
Only the champions of the 12 weight divisions from the four regional qualifying tournaments, namely the ECBA-NE; ECBA-SE;
Mid-West and Far-West, qualify for the
finals.
In the event of a training injury, illness
or academic disqualification prior to nationals, the replacement is selected from among
the regional runner-ups who have competed
in the greatest number of sanctioned collegiate bouts.
A two time ECBA-NE runner-up,
Penecale has seen action in 18 sanctioned
collegiate bouts.
The only seeding in collegiate boxing is
when a defending champion and runner-up
are returning at the same weight. In all
other instances, it is the luck of the draw.
Often the championship bout is boxed during Friday's semi-finals.

Since re-establishing boxing as a club
sport, under Head Coach Dr. Ken Cox in
1978, the Bald Eagles have gained national
recognition and are reputed to be one of the
model collegiate boxing programs under the
National Collegiate Boxing Association.
Cox and his staff have developed 12
individual National Champions and 72 boxers have earned Ail-American status.
For the past four years, the Bald Eagles
have finished a strong third in team standings.
The best showing came in 1989 when
they finished second behind the U.S. Air
Force Academy (USAF).
The future prospects for the team are
encouraging since all five LHU qualifiers
are underclassmen.
With this nucleus, the Bald Eagles could
surface as the number one team in the nation
in 1998.
The United States Naval Academy,
coached by former LHU All-American Jim
McNally, won the 1996 team title.
The USNA senior dominated team is
favored to win the national title-this year on
their home territory.
Traditionally, the USAF, USNA, Lock
Haven and the University of Nevada battle
for team supremacy. In the past, Army, Penn
State, Kentucky, Santa Clara and Miami are
major players in the battle for team honors.
ECBA coaches, led by Cox, have
stressed individual accomplishment over
team accomplishment.

Women hound Huskies
by Scott Fisher
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
This past Saturday, the women's rugby
team tallied their first victory of the spring
season by shutting out the Huskies of
Bloomsburg, 33-0.
The Haven's westward trip on Interstate
80 gave two of the Lady Eagles, freshman
Chris DiGuilio and sophomore Jess Woehr,
the opportunity to score their first tries of
their careers.
The initial score of the game came from
DiGuilio, and Woehr followed with the
next two. Freshman Teea Burger added
three conversions to make the score 21 -0 at
halftime.
In the second half, DiGuilio scored her
second try of the game and senior Brenda
Warrick finished the scoring with a try of
her own.
Burger was successful on one more
conversion attempt and built Lock Haven's
lead to the eventual final of 33-0.

The Lady Eagles received an excellent
overall performance from the entire squad.
Woehr commented, "I was impressed
with the passing and ball handling of the
wing (the offensive positions) and the strong
defense we displayed."
Sophomore Robin Oster believed that the
Haven's victory in this very physical match
was the result of "good communication
between our players on the field." Oster also
described the match to be very relaxed for
the Lady Eagles.
This victory puts the Lady Eagles at 1-01 for the season. They have already shown
improvement since the fall where they ended
with an 0-4 record.
The B-side game that followed ended in
a 5-5 tie. The game's lone score from the
Haven came from freshman Lori Fenton.
The Lady Eagles now have two home
games approaching.
They will face Susquehanna University
tomorrow and host a tri-match with Clarion
and California on April 19.

Only at the National Championships are
the team points awarded. Because LHU,
Penn State, Army and Shippensburg eliminated one another in the strong Northeast
Regionals, it is not realistic to put the major
focus on capturing a team title," stated Cox.
The Eagles have qualified five boxers
while both Shippensburg and Army are
sending three representatives. Penn State is
sending only one.
All 48 qualifiers compete in the semifinal bout beginning on Friday night at 7:00.
The finals in the 12 weight divisions begin
at 8:00 p.m. the following evening.
Elmer, is expected to challenge defending champion, Brandt Duttle from the
University of Kentucky for the title.
Last year Duttle survived the third
round to edge Elmer, 4-1 to win the title in
Reno.
Fields, the impressive Bald Eagle freshman, is perhaps in the toughest weight class
in the championships.
Although Fields sports an impressive 72 record, defending champion, senior Roy
Blanco from the Air Force must be considered the favorite.
Druding, the Bald Eagle's hard punching
132 pounder, must contend with senior John
Shepard, Navy, and Kevin Blake of Miami.
Although this is a wide open weight,
Druding has the tools to capture the title.
Fletcher, last year's National Champion
at 165 has dropped to the 156 class and has
since defeated two time All-American, J.J.

Puga of Navy.
The Lock Haven native and team captain has an outstanding 19-6 career record.
His biggest challenge at the lower weight
cla.ss should come from Kentucky Wildcat's
Jeremy Winton, and Puga.
The Bald Eagle's fifth entry, Penecale,
has slipped in the back door of the national
tournament.
The Citadel's boxer at 172 could not
keep his weight down and Pence .le was
selected to fill the spot based on his experience.
"Tony has never refused to box anyone,"
stated Cox. His perseverance has paid off.
Penecale is in a tough weight which
includes two of the best collegiate boxers.
Alternate, Smith will continue to train
daily with his fingers crossed.
"We have continued to increase the pace
of our training regimen since last September
and our coaches have us ready to peak at
nationals," commented Fletcher.
"I am confident all five of us will be
ready to give it our best shot," Fletcher
added. "Our goal is a repeat of last year's
performance, including two National
Champs and a third or fourth place finish.
There has been too much work and sacrifice on the part of everyone connected
with boxing at the Haven to not give it our
best efforts. I expect the pride factor to be a
determining factor in our quest to remain in
the top echelon of college boxing."

Laxters win battle with Warriors
by Stacy Puhl
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The Lady lacrosse team ( 4 - l ) ( l - l ) had a
busy and victorious week with games
against Mercyhurst, Gannon and a PSAC
game against East Stroudsburg.
Kristen Peckersgill scored a total of 19
points over the three games to make her the
lead scorer in the NCAA with a season total
of 29 points. Sharon Kreider is also a
nationally ranked scorer with 20 goals for
the season.
Assistant Coach Pat Rudy commented
on the two outstanding athletes saying that
the two "compliment each other."
Rudy went on to say that Kreider has
speed and Pickersgill has great stick work,
and for this reason they always work well
together.
Pickersgill and Kreider were the lead
scorers in the Laxters' first PSAC win
against East Stroudsburg University with a
score of 10-7.
The Lady Eagles started their game off
slow on Tuesday, but after the first 15 minutes of play they were untouchable, scoring
six goals in the remainder of the half and
allowing East Stroudsburg to only score
one. The half was over with a score of 7-3.

TheLaxters only made three goals in the
second half while East Stroudsburg made
four to bring the final score to 10-7.
Rudy stated that it was the ladies' best
performance of the year with good passes
and connection in the mid-field. She went
on to praise the defense saying that they
were "effective" and that they got East
Stroudsburg frustrated.
Pickersgill scored four goals followed
by Kreider with three. Other members of
the team that contributed goals were
Carleen Childs, Elaine Farago and Amy
Urich, each scoring one.
Farago had one assist while Kreider had
two assists and one interception. Junior
Tricia Ault also had one interception.
The Laxters faced off with Mercyhurst

and Gannon in Erie with a victorious double header.
The Lady Eagles dominated Mercyhurst
early in the game with Farago scoring seven
seconds into the game.
The Haven only let Mercyhurst score
two goals in the first half while they defeated Mercyhurst's goalie 11 times. The Lady
Eagles continued to score in the second half
of the game, making the final score 16-4.
Pickersgill continued to overpower the
lacrosse field, scoring eight goals. Kreider
scored three; Farago scored two; Urich,
Cheri Drysdale and Becca Dumusz all contributed one goal.
Kreider also contributed two assists.
Moira Ritchie and Pickersgill each had one.
Drysdale played strong defense with six
interceptions.
Score keeper Ann Smith had nine saves
for her 56:30 of playing time and scorekeeper Cindy Brownell had one save.
The Lady Eagles played on a windy field
by Lake Erie for their Sunday game against
Gannon.
Senior captain Kreider broke the LHU
career scoring record of 122 goals that was
set by Deidre Kipp (1991-94).
Kreider
scored her 123 goal 3:11 into the second
half.

Ladies bit by Huskies

Call it bad luck. Call it victim of circumstance. But whatever you call it, you
also have to call it a slump.
That is what the softball team is going

home losses to Bloomsburg University.
The Lady Eagles went on the road

In game one, California was able to keep
a 3-0 lead until the bottom of the sixth
inning when the ladies were able to dig
down deep and pull out a comeback.
Brittany Sharp led off the inning with a solo
home run to start the rally.
Roseann Mogan then reached on a fielders choice, and then scored on a Beth
Cunnigham triple. Melissa Caldwell singled
to score Cunningham and tie the game 3-3
at the end of the sixth.
But the team could not stay composed as
California was able to put a runner on base

The Lady Eagles controlled the game

The second half of the game was a yo-yo

Sluggers wipe out the Fighting Scots
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Sports Editor_
Welcome to central Pennsylvania. Well,
lets just say welcome to Pennsylvania.
With over a half-foot of snow dropped on
their baseball field, Edinboro University
had to switch dates with Lock Haven.
So instead of the Bald Eagle baseball
team traveling to Edinboro on Wednesday,
Edinboro travelled to LHU yesterday for a
PSAC-West clash.
LHU swept the double header winning
the first game 8-4, and the second 16-4.
Haven took off early in the first game,
picking up four runs in the first inning and
two more in the second off of Curt
Chilson's two-run double and another runinducing single.
Edinboro climbed back with four runs
in the next four innings. But that would be
all Edinboro could muster as the Bald

Eagles put them promptly back in their place
in the loser's column.
Starter Scott Bennett (3-2) took the win,
pitching four and two-thirds innings, as Karl
Raffin stepped in to pitch the final two
innings for his first save of the season.
Marco Randazzo was a perfect 3-3, with
a double and two RBIs, and teammate
Chilson chipped in a 2-3 performance and
supplied three RBIs.
The Bald Eagles never dropped their
landing gear as they flew to another big lead
early in the second game via a three-run
homer by Randazzo.
Not to be out-done, Chilson slammed a
two-run homer of his own to catapult his
team to a third inning 5-0 lead.
LHU gave the Scots a fighting chance as
they allowed themwithin one run at 5-4, but
that was all the competition the home team
was going to get as they performed a never
ending encore of a fifth inning with 11 runs
on eight hits.

Bringing on the snake-eyed onslaught
was Erik Steinbacher with a two-run homer
and a three-run double.
Picking up his third win of the season
was Jeremy Fisher (3-2), who struck out
seven in his first six innings. J.C. Keefer
cleaned up with a flawless seventh inning
pitching effort.
Randazzo and Steinbacher both went 24 with five RBIs a piece. Chilson followed

up with a 2-4 performance of his own along
with three RBIs.
The Bald Eagles are now 16-10-2 >-3 in
the PSAC-West. The Fighting Scots coul
not fight hard enough as they fell to 9-21, 08 in the PSAC-West.
LHU hosts Slippery Rock University
tomorrow at 1 p.m. at Foundation Field, just
a boat ride away.

It's a Saturday Sports Potpourri!
Baseball vs. Slippery Rock
Softball vs. Slippery Rock
Lacrosse vs. Sacred Heart University
All games are home and at 1 p.m.

Spending our lives in a hitter's paradise
Imagine, if you will, the final score of
Pittsburgh 14, Philadelphia 13. A couple
of thoughts enter your head.
The Eagles scored a touchdown against
the Steelers with just a few seconds left and
Ray Rhodes, the head coach of the Eagles,
decided to go for two and the win against
the interstate rival.
The two-point conversion failed and the
Steelers won. Well, what really happened
is the Pirates scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Phillies.
Welcome to Major League Baseball in the
1990's.
Just one scan of the sports page and you
will see what I mean, scores of 10-5, 12-6,
11-1, etc. The scores are more from football and Major League lacrosse than baseball.
What could be the reasons for this?
Pitching, pitching and pitching. The pitching problem can be broken down into three
components.
Number one: The pitchers have stayed
at the same level and the hitters have gotten
better. The hitters have now turned base-

ball into a 12 month journey and play
everything from winter ball in Mexico, to
spending five hours a day in the weight
room.
The hitters are
getting stronger and
the pitchers are getting weaker. Case in
point, Albert Belle.
Belle bulked up 20
pounds over the win
ter and now fills out
his new White Sox
uniform quite nicely.
Belle used a
cross-training routine
that makes most
Olympic athletes look
like wimps.
This bulking up
has caused Belle's bat
speed and power to
increase, and he is
more quicker on the base paths. All this has
led to a large gap between the hitter and the
pitcher.

Number two. The ballparks. Gone are
the day of the 450 foot fence in centerfield.
Their are only a few parks left, like Busch
Stadium in St. Louis, that can be considered
pitchers'
parks.
There
By Chris Nafiy have always
been hitters'
parks in the
majors. You
could not pay
me five million dollars a
pitch to start
at
Wrigley
Field, even
when
the
wind is blowing in.
The number of pitchers' parks has
decreased and ballparks are now hitter
friendly because Major League owners
thought the fans wanted to see high-pow-

ered offense. Sure, I like to see a home run
or two, but I do not like to see the score of a
game being 20-14.
Number three: The lack of pitchers and
the rush to get them to the majors.
It used to be the unwritten rule that a
pitcher would stay in the minors for at least
five years to work on their skills and be prepared for the majors. TTiose days are gone.
It seems that some Major League clubs
are taking the pitchers right out of high
school and putting them on the mound for
opening day.
The quality of starting pitching has gotten better but when you get into those middle innings and you need a reliever, hold
onto your hat, and if you are in the outfield
seats, you better put on your hard hat.
Major League Baseball needs to develop
their young talent better. They need to keep
pitchers in the minors until they are ready
for the majors and not a moment before.
I am a purist and I yearn to see a 1-0
game with great pitching and great defense.
The run? It was scored on a suicide squeeze
in the bottom of the ninth.

Track and field team shines like seasoned veterans
by Amy Yarger
Eagle Eye Sports Editor_
What is a PR? To track junkies, those
two little letters are what they run, jump or
throw for. The Personal Record is what they
strive for, to beat themselves, to better their
performance even if it is only by a fraction
of a number.
The women's and men's distance team
set many PR's last weekend at the Carnegie
Mellon Track and Field Invitational.
Bridget Kielty got the ball rolling in the
5,000 meters with a fourth place finish, bettering her PR by over 40 seconds with a
time of 19:46.
Stacy Puhl also set a PR in the 1,500
meters. Puhl finished seventh in the event
with a time of 5:03.
Laura Lenich joined Puhl in the 1,500
meters and set a PR of her own, 5:36.
However, Lenich fell short of placed finish.
On the men's side. Matt Ferchalk, Steve
Moyer and Alex Sherwood all set personal
records in the 5,000 meter race.
Ferchalk finished third overall with a
time of 15:43. Moyer was seventh in 16:06
and Sherwood finished tenth with a time of
16:20.
Moyer went on to finish second in the
3,000 meter steeplechase, which is right at
the top of the most difficult track and field
events list, with at PR time of 10:03.
Ben Steward (4:14), Noel Zeh (4:16)
and Ferchalk (4:20) each set their own

PR's in the 1,500 meter run.
Aside from all the PR's the men's and
women's teams displayed tons of talent at
last weekend's meet.
In the 100 hurdles, All-American heptathlete. Amy Parkes, crushed the field for
an easy win with a finishing time of 14.77,
almost a full second ahead of second place.
Parkes showed her multi-talents by capturing second place in the long jump with a
leap of 5.51 meters (18' 1"), a personal

record for her.
Betsy Moore was a double place finisher for the lady's. Moore placed third in the
400 meters with a time of 62.43. She then
jumped her way to second place in high
jump with a height of 5' 4".
Tamara Vreeland sprinted her way to a
third place finish in the 100 meters with a
time of 12.70.
In the 800 meters. Amy Yarger won the
event with a time of 2:19.0.

High jumper, Betsy Moore, finished second overall with a leap of 5' 4" at
last weekend's Carnegei Mellon Track and Field Invitational.

Gabi George was the final individual
place winner for the women in the shot put
with a throw of 10.21 meters.
The women's 4x400 meter team of
Vreeland, Moore, Parkes and Yarger finished fourth overall with a time of 4:i3.
For the men, Narc Narcise wav one of
many to place in multiple events.
In the 200 meters, Narcise finished sixth
overall with a time of 22.66. Narcise qualified in the 200 meters for the PSAC meet,
which will be held at Lock Haven on May 8,
9 and 10.
Eric Hess joined Narcise in the 400
meter hurdles. The pair finished fourth and
fifth respectively with times of 0:56.66 and
0:56.73.
Aaron Freed continued to show his outstanding natural ability in the 800 meters by
finishing third with a time of 1:57.
Aaron Wynings again jumped away with
the high jump. His closest competitor was
two inches behind his jump of 6' 7".
John Burkhart threw the discus for 43.06
meters to earn himself fifth place.
Kyle Waite joined Burkhart in tb • discus
with an eighth place finish (39.64 meters).
Waite also placed in the shot put with a
throw of 14.17 meters and a sixth place finish.

Andy Welk, Narcise and Jeff Walker) earning fourth place with a time of 3:26.
The track and field team travels to
Shippensburg tomorrow for an invitational.

Wrestling: An amazing season in review
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Wrestling season is over, but the awards
from that amazing 1996-97 wrestling season just keep rolling in.
Cary Kolat was named the Eastern
Wrestling League (EWL) and Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Wrestler
of the Year. In addition. Bald Eagle Head
Coach Carl Poff was named the PSAC
Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season.
Kolat became the second wrestler in
Bald Eagle history to win multiple National
Championshipis. (Gray Simons won three
titles from 1960-62.)
Kolat finished the season with a perfect
25-0 record, ten pins, three majors and six
terminations.
During the season, Kolat was the 142
pound champion and outstanding wrestler
at both the EWL and PSAC, his second

straight in both tournaments.
Kolat finished his brilliant career with a
111-7 record, including 52 pins, 16 majors
and nine terminations. He only lost one
match during his two years at LHU.
He was a four-time All-American, finishing second at 134 as a freshman and
third as a sophomore when he wrestled at
Penn State.
Poff guided the Bald Eagles to a fifthplace finish at the NCAA Championships,
the best finish ever for an LHU squad. A
school-record, five wrestlers earned AllAmerica status. His team won its secondconsecutive PSAC Championship and took
the EWL team championship for the first
time ever.
LHU's dual meet record of 13-6
brought Poff's career dual record to 92-372 in his seventh season at the helm of the
Bald Eagles.
The award is Poff's fourth PSAC Coach
of the Year honor in seven seasons.
