Leases and safe housing big off-campus concerns
by Dr. Saundra Hybels News
Reporting
Students
A recent survey distributed to a random
selection of University students who live in
off-campus housing revealed that eight out
of ten students are unhappy with their current landlord. The reasons for dissatisfaction range from building code violations,
which includes property upkeep, to disputes between the landlords and tenants
regarding cost of rent and security deposit
refunds.
According to Dave Romig, the city's
code enforcement officer, there is a difference between a code violation and problems a tenant may have with the lease or
landlord. Romig deals specifically with
code violations and property maintenance,
which are the minimum standards the property must meet to insure the health and
safety of the residents. A code violation
encompasses how many people can live in
a house, installation of smoke detectors
and so forth.
Situations that do arise between tenants
and landlords involving security deposits,
landlords entering property without prior
notice, lease disputes and property maintenance that does not break a specific code

are addressed as a civil matter. Romig
sometimes meets with tenants to determine
whether his office can address the problem
or if the problem falls under the
Pennsylvania Landlord Tenant Act of 1951,
an act that may require a complaint being
registered with the magistrates' office.
Romig stated that it is difficult to determine a landlord as being a "good" landlord
just by examining property records. A
landlord can appear respectable on paper,
due to a lack of code violation, but may violate the Landlord Tenant Act, which protects both tenants and landlords.
When landlords have code violations,
says Romig, he or she can receive a violation and must take care of the problem
promptly. When Romig finds a violation,
he informs the landlord and gives him or
her a chance to fix the problem before a
citation is handed out. Most landlords, he
said, take care of the problems immediately, but to those who do not fix the problem,
Romig's next step is to issue a citation.
Romig gives landlords a length of time,
pending on the seriousness of the situation,
to appeal the violation, and tells him or her
what the penalties will be and how long he
or she has to correct the problem. Romig
said that if a condition is dangerous or substandard the landlord can receive citations

for the conditions, and if these citations are
ignored by the landlord, he or she can be
fined as much as $300. The magistrate
determines the fine.
Many landlord tenant problems could
be alleviated if students were aware of their
rights as tenants prior to signing the lease.
According to the survey, 12 percent of the
sample did not read the lease prior to signing it. Legally, the lease is the agreement
which forms the basis of the relationship
between the landlord and the tenant. Both

parties benefit form having the lease and
either party can alter it before it is signed.
Once the lease is signed, however, the
agreement is legally binding.
Students have many complaints about
their off-campus housing. Accor..ing to
one University student tenant, the living
quarters he resides in has minimal heat, is
overpriced, has water and sewage problems
and has a floor that is ready to cave in.

students are currently renting.

Board of Student Government Presidents comes to LHU
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Sports Editor_
The Spring 1997 Board of Student
Government
Presidents
(BSGP)
Convention will be held at the University
tonight through Monday morning as delegates from all 14 State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) universities will meet to
discuss issues concerning the state's student
governments.
Convention plans include roundtable
discussions, a tour of the Parsons Union
Building (PUB) with demonstrations of the
Eagle Card and the Phoenix web server, and
a Saturday afternoon keynote address by
Dr. Terrell Jones, vice-president for
Academic Affairs.

A representative from Pepsi Cola will
be on hand to give a report on the state of
the Pepsi contract with the State System,
and he will be available to answer any
questions students may have at 2 p.m. on
Sunday in the PUB Multi-purpose room.
The Convention is highlighted by the
BSGP meeting at 10 a.m. on Sunday, when
the presidents from all 14 schools will take
on the important issues facing their respective institutions.
Taking over the meeting at last semester's BSGP at East Stroudsburg University,
was the talk over the faculty contract disputes. At that time the delegates felt the
faculty was close to a strike and debates
became heated between those speaking for
the state and those taking the faculty's side.
This year discussion will take place

concerning the new budget passed by the
state House of Representatives that raised
SSHE's funding by two percent. Funding
for the Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency (PHEAA) was raised
seven percent. PHEAA funding is available to all state students, regardless of
which state university they attend.
This is in conjunction with Governor
Tom Ridge's plans to privatize education
rather than support the 14 universities the
state owns.
The Board will also discuss their trip to
Harrisburg on Monday morning for State
System Advocacy Day.
The Fall of 1993 was the last time Lock
Haven hosted the BSGP Convention.
Student Cooperative Council (SCC)
President and BSGP Parliamentarian L^rry

Flint was excited about this weekend.
"This is an excellent opportunity to
showcase our University to the entire State
System," he said.
Pat Pierre, SCC Vice-President hoped
that other universities would realize the
sense of community here at the University.

Black Student Union to host conference
by Cynthia Graham
Eagle Eye News Editor_
The Black Student Union (BSU) will be
hosting the second semi-annual Meeting of
the Minds conference with the theme,
"Uniting for the Future," from Friday, April
25, to Sunday, April 27.
According to Chris Franklin, president
of the BSU, "The conference was developed to create a forum allowing multicultural student leaders from across the state of
Pennsylvania to exchange ideas and offer
encouragement and support [to each
other]."
The first conference was held at
Shippensburg University in the fall 1996
semester and will be held each semester at
alternating Universities across the state.
Franklin said the conference is especially targeted toward predominantly white
universities where there is little minority
representation.
Several seminars and workshops are
scheduled to be held. Some issues that will
be discussed include increasing the multicultural student voice on campus, problem
solving on campus and minority student
retention.
The conference kicks off tonight with

registration from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. and a
social from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. On Saturday,
April 26, the first workshop will be from 10
am to 11:15 a.m, headed by Dr. Terrell
Jones, Interim vice president for Academic
Affairs.
At 12:45 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. a second
workshop will be held, headed by Diane
Jefferson and from 2:15 p.m. to 3 p.m., a
third workshop will be held. At 6 p.m.
keynote speaker. Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu,
speaker and author, will address audience
members on issues of multicultural concern. From 9:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., there will
be a comedy presentation by Mike and
Donnell Rawlings of New York and at 11
p.m., there will be a dance featuring D.J. SN-S of New York.
On Sunday, April 27, the conference
will come to a close with a picnic and
spades tournament commencing at 11 a.m.
All events are scheduled to take place in
the Parsons Union Building (PUB) and
Franklin encourages all students, student
leaders of multicultural organizations, faculty and administrators to attend. He said
the conference will hopefully increase the
mulitcultural student voice on campus, in
addition to creating an avenue of academic
success among minority students.

Off-campus housing advice needed
by Dr. Saundra Hybels' News
Reporting Students
A four part investigative report
University students may feel as if they
have nowhere to turn for assistance when
looking for off-campus housing. And they
are right. Neither the Student Affairs office
or the Student Cooperative Council (SCC)
help students in finding landlords or rental
property.
Like the University, Mansfield offers no
programs or help to prospective off-campus
students. They have not kept an up-to-date
landlord list in over fifteen years.
According to Marilyn L.apps, a secretary in
the Student Affairs office, it looks doubtful
that students will be receiving assistance in
the near future.
The State System of Higher Education
(SSHE) schools that are most helpful to students are Shippensburg University and
Slippery Rock University.
Currently,
Shippensburg offers students off-campus
housing lists, but they do not endorse or
insfiect any of the houses listed. The listings have the name, address and phone
number of the landlord and include the
address of the property and the number of
students it holds.
Shipftensburg also offers a card file box
that includes available housing and persons

looking for roommates. Students are able
to visit the housing office any time to look
at this box. Each year they offer one or two
workshops where professors, who are also
lawyers, look at leases and give students
tips on what they should and should not do.
Slippery Rock sends out a list of "do's
and dont's" to students each year.
According to housing office workers, this
service will soon end because they feel it is
"counter productive" for the office to support landlords. Instead, the University's
student government will be sending out the
list to prospective student renters. In addition, landlords will be able to advertise
through the campus channel for a fee.
Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney,
Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro,
Indiana, Kutztown, Millersville and West
Chester Universities seem to offer equal
off-campus housing programs, most of
them using landlord lists to aid the students.
For Lock Haven, the Chamber of
Commerce provides a list of landlords
which is available at the Student Affairs
office. However, the University does not
endorse any of these landlords. Dr. Linda
Koch, vice president for student affairs,
said that the University becomes involved
on an "as-needed basis" if students have
problems with landlords.

Basketball great speaks
at Shippensburg
SHIPPENSBURG - Former senator
and basketball great Bill Bradley gave a
speech for Shippensburg students on
University Day. His topic was titled,
"The Current State of Our Society and Its
Future."
Bradley's main topic was that
American citizens and politicians need to
make changes in their lives in order to
keep our government working efficiently.
"There are three things we need to do
in order to keep our country moving forward," Bradley said. "We must speak
across racial lines and appeal to all
Americans. We must all take part in the
democratic process, and we must help all
our people cross the financial finish line."
Bradley began his speech by talking
about his basketball career, both as an
amateur and a professional. He talked
about his days on the U.S. national team at
the Tokyo Olympics.
As a senator, Bradley fought for fair
tax policies, honest budgeting and economic policies that enhanced competitiveness and growth. His environment initiatives blocked oil drilling, stopped ocean
dumping and made a committment to the
health of our beaches.
Before his senate race Bradley was a
three-time basketball Ail-American and
captain of the U.S. team that won the gold
medal in the Tokyo Olympics. He went
on to play for the New York Knicks for 10
years, winning two championships during
that time.

Hanna votes no
on gas tax increase
Harrisburg - State Rep. Mike Hanna, DClinton/Centre, voted no this week on
Gov. Ridge's gas tax increase and vehicle
registration fee increase.
"I voted no because the state already
has more than $800 million hoarded away,
more than twice the amount the governor's plan would raise," Hanna said.
"Taking another $400 million out of
the taxpayers' pockets ~ and out of
Pennsylvania's economy — is wrong when
the state already has the money to fix
roads and bridges right now," he said.
Hanna said that the state has the following account surpluses: more than $100
million in the Motor License Fund; $112
million in legislative surplus accounts;
$220 million in the Rainy Day Fund
which is supposed to prevent tax increases; $370 million surplus over the 1996-97
budget projection. As last minute income
-tax returns come in, it could reach $500
million by June 30.
The Ridge plans would add another
3.5 cents per gallon to the state gas tax,
making it fifth highest in the nation, and
would raise the registration fee for passenger cars from $24 to $36.

Daocer delivers paper on eating disorders
by Tony Penecale
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
Catherine Culnane, instructor of dance
at the University, presented a paper at the
Eastern District Association of American
Alliance for Health, Physical Education,
Recreation and Dance (AAPHERD) at the
76th Annual Convention last month in
Burlington, Vermont.
The paper, titled "Comparison of
Disordered Eating Behavior and Nutritional
Status Among Female University Dancers,"
covers a full spectrum of eating disorders
ranging from simple disorder patterns on
the low end to pathological disorders on the
high end.
Culnane began the paper as a thesis,
which was a component of receiving her
master's degree from Juliard College.
"My intention for conducting this
search was for the behavioral patterns of
dancers, which is different from the general
population. My intuitive feeling was that l

dancers behavioral nature of work would
score differently," Culnane said.
Her study proved to be true. "An
overview of a sample population revealed a
low group average for caloric intake and a
fairly high percentage of bodily dissatisfaction," said Culnane.
Culnane believes that there is a need to
survey the psychological makeup of a
dancer more accurately because her personal experience has shown that even dancers
diagnosed with eating disorders did not
show up on the survey.
The AAPHERD Convention was
attended by the executive director of the
National Dance Association and the vice
president of Dance Magazine for the eastern division.

Lesson learned the hard way
Dear Editor:
In the middle of August, I made a decision that has altered the way I live my life;
I chose to drink and drive.
The last thing I remember, after drinking a number of beers, is leaving the party
through the front door. According to the
police officer, I had apparently gotten into
my car, driven through a field, gotten back
onto the road and hit a telephone pole. I do
not remember the accident.
Fortunately, I had only sustained minor
injuries. I had a gash in my knee and glass
in my head. I was taken to the hospital,
where my blood alcohol level was tested to
be 0.18. I was charged with a DUI (Driving
Under the Influence), underage drinking,
which was dropped at the preliminary hearing and several traffic violations.

and court costs and being placed on parole.
This event in my life has made a major
impact on me. It has taught me that the
consequence of drinking is not worth the
action itself. Being under the age of 21, it
is illegal for me to i nk alcohol and I can
wait until then to do so. However, for those
who are of the legal age, it is not worth it to
drink and drive. I was lucky. I only hit a
telephone pole and mildly injured myself.
It could have been worse. I could have
been seriously injured; and worse yet,
someone else could have been injured. I
have made the decision to no longer drink
alcohol.

MONDAY AT 9:30 P.M. THB EAGLE EYE

I now had to apply for the ARD
(Accelerated Rehabilative Disposition)
program for first-time DUI offenders. This
program consists of a four-month license
suspension, instead of a mandatory one
year suspension, 40 hours of community
service and four alcohol classes. I also do
not have to spend the mandatory 48 hours
in jail. This saved me financially. I only
had to pay the costs of the court and the
ARD program, which came to a total of
$1,080.50. I was also put on probation for
one year.
I was relieved when the judge accepted
me into this program. If I violate my probation, at any time, I will be removed from
the program and will have to begin the
process for a DUI again, which includes
serving the 48 hours in jail, paying the fines

The Eagle Eye
staff

Eagle Eye has changed from previous
semesters. Every Friday, I see more students reading the paper and most, if not all,
the areas where the Eagle Eye is placed
every week, are empty by late afternoon.
Also, we have had many new reporters
in every section that added to the content of
the paper. And these writers have been
good at what they are writing about. They
seem more interested in writing for the
newspaper and that is all I could ever hope
for.
There have been a lot of letters to the
Editor, which again shows student interest
in the happenings on campus and their concern for such things.
Finally on a personal note I would like
to say good bye and good luck to the staff
members who are leaving us. Amy

We will miss you and we wish you well in

I would also like to extend my congratulations to the new sXzfi members and the
new Editor in Chief, Brian Ploskina. You
will all do a great job and I am looking forward to working with everyone next semester.
Good luck on finals everybody and

Tales continues fight against hate groups
Welcome to another edition of Tales
From the Hard Side and part three of my
sfiecial series on hate groups on campus.
Last week I made the announcement of a
neo-nazi group on campus. Because of the
tremendous reaction 1 have received on that
article I will follow up this week with some
tips and hints on how to fight hate groups
and hate crime.
As I reported here last week, there is a
neo-nazi group here at Lock Haven
University. The group calls themselves
"The White Aryan Male Society for the
Preservation of the White Race" and has a
growing membership. This group was
started about a year and a half ago when a
group of students decided that their voice
was not being heard.
The group holds their meetings at a roving site every week and so far has been
quiet. The meetings consist of basic
preaching of the club's values and micsion.
A neo-nazi group can be compared to
the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) and most neonazi groups have Klan members in them
that pull double duty. The neo-nazis share
most of the KKK's beliefs and this is no
different from the group in Lock Haven.
The group's membership consists of
students that were recruited by the
"founders." The "founders" are the small
group that stated this neo-nazi chapter.
According to my source, one of the
"founders" was a member of a neo-nazi
group at home and created his own here at
Lock Haven University. Also my source
says the membership of this organization
was about 20-30 members at the end of the
fall semester. The main push for recruiting
comes in the fall when new freshmen
arrive. The group "scouts" possible candidates and then when they are sure this person is right for them, approach him and ask
him to join their "little club".
Membership in this club is clouded in
secrecy. Only males are recruited for this
group. Members can quit the group with no

real threat to their lives, except if they give
up the club's secrets. I have a second
source that has come to me that was once a
full member of this club. He says that the
club membership has been stable and that
some of the "founders" have either dropped
out of school or have quit themselves.
The club might not sound like a threat
but you should never put your guard down
against a hate group like this or any other
you might encounter.

pus because of this article and the last one.
They have been uncovered and are now in
the light of the central Pa. sun.
Well, now you have the information
about the neo-nazis and STRAIGHT
(Students Reinforcing Adherence to
General Heterosexual Tradition), so the
question is "How do you stop them?"
Step one is the first order in combat,
know your enemy. Learn all you can about
these and other hate groups. Read up on
them. Contact universities and towns that
have these groups and ask for information.
Knowledge, as I have been saying all along,
is key in this battle.
Step two in the process is to inform others. Share your findings, like I have the last
two weeks. Once a threat is in the open it
is better to defend yourself because you
know it is there. Then battle their message
with a better message. Better speech combats not better speech, for lack of a better
term.
Step three can be the hardest. Let them
be. Let these groups do their thing. Do not
draw attention to them, because these

groups feed on attention. They need to be
in the spotlight to get their message out. If
they do not get attention most hate groups
die because their message dose not get out.
Well, I hope this helps everyone in the
battle against hate. We can all do this if we
stand together. Lock Haven University is a
diverse place and we do not need groups
that are all about hate. We can all live
without hate, especially while we are here
at the University.
This ends this week's Tales From the
Hard Side and puts an end to my special
series on hate groups and what can we do
about them. I would like to thank everyone
who helf)ed me put this series together,
including the people that have questioned
me about my articles the last two weeks.
These people have taken the first step in
battling hate by wanting more information,
everybody should join them. Next week's
Tales will be my special year-end awards
extravaganza, so look for that one. Until
next time, peace
Clarification: In last week's article it was
mentioned about the football team beating
up neo-nazis. This comment was supposed
to be used to put emphasis on why the neonazis do not come out and announce to the
college community that they are here. I did
not mean to imply that the football team
was a band of vigilantes going around beating people up. The football team does not
do that and 1 am sorry if some people took
that comment the wrong way. Once again
the comment was to emphasize a point, not
to put down the football team. I apologize
for any miscommunication.

Sometimes they do get in a house and
they can be a nuisance there. Normally
they live in attics, barns, hollow trees and
caves. Bats feed on the insects from dusk
until dawn, then come back in to roost.
They hibernate during the winter (a couple
of species even migrate to the south during
the winter). Some species are protected on
the endangered species list.
1 do not want to sound like I am lecturmg, but I just do not want to see bats
injured or killed out of fear. They will not
harm you. They try to avoid people just as
much as people try to avoid them.

Dear Editor:
After reading the column in the April
11, issue of the Eagle Eye about someone
who was terrified by a bat, I decided it was
up to me to set the record straight. I am a
guide at Penns Cave, and a spelunker
(caver).
Most of the stories you have heard
about bats are myths. They do not attack.
They do not try to get into your hair. They
do not all have rabies (less than 18 percent). They do not suck your blood while
you are sleeping.
Bats are your friends. The main courses in their diet are mosquitoes and gnats.
In one night's time, a bat can consume
twice its own body weight in insects.
Around dusk in the summer, you may see
a bat fly close to your head. That is
because people attract the insects and that
is what bats feed on. They are saving you
from being bitten by the mosquitoes. They
are just little furry creatures that harm no
one.
Do not try to catch them. Their
bones are as thin as toothpicks and twice
as fragile. If a bat gets into your house or
apartment, open the windows for a little
while and it will find its own way out.
They have sonar, or radar (your biology
professor would call it echolocation). Bats
find their food—the little tiny instcts—
using radar, and that is how they inid the
open window to go out.

Dance Company
performs "Say... If Speaker encourages wildlife conservation
You Feel Alright"
by Jeanette Jelfo and Amy
Satkofsky
Eagle Eye Features Reporter and
Eagle Eye News Editor
The University's Dance Company
showed off hours of preparation as they
showcased their talents in a spring show last
week. The show, titled "Say. . . If You Feel
Alright!" included numbers in ballet, tap
and jazz. Group numbers were performed,
as well as individual performances.
The Dance Company got the audience
started by dancing to Gloria Estefan's
"Reach" in their opening number. The
choreography for the lyrical number was
well-timed with the music and featured several classical ballet steps, including
ecliapes, assembles and pirouettes.
The entire company then performed a
jazz number entitled "Ravin." The choreography for this number was very fast, and
company members leaped and turned across
the stage with speed and agility. This piece
also used a variety of pathways, as company members intertwined with one another to
form new lines.
However, the most popular number
seemed to be a tap dance to Rednex "Wild
and Free." Five company members participated in this routine. The tempo of the
music increased as the women moved
through their steps. The routine, choreographed by Julie McNulty, consisted bf a
number of back essences and pull backs that
went well with the music.
Just when the audience thought "Wild
and Free" was over, the members of the
company came back with a frantic ending
that had everyone's eyes glued to the
dancers' feet.
Act 11 opened with a jazz number, followed by a pointe solo featuring Renee
Markette, Dance Company president, who
choreographed her own routine. Erin Lutz
and Julie McNulty also performed individually. Denise Seech and Jenni Watson
formed a duo for a separate number.
Closing out the show as a group, the
company performed to the dance version of
Madonna's "Evita." After that, each member came out separately for recognition to
the show's title track. Crystal Waters' "Say
. . . I f You Feel Alright."
Markette said that, "Although we had
some slight technical difficulties, I thought
the show went rather well."
The dance company choreographs all of
their own numbers and produces the show
on their own. They have a dance show once
every semester.

Eagle Eye Copy Editor_
In celebration of Earth Day, April 22, the
Biology Club and Earth Day Committee
sponsored a wildlife rehabilitation program
at 7:00 p.m. in the Parsons Union Building's
(PUB) multi-purpose room.
Mr. Ed Reish of the Montoursville area
presented the program. He and his wife
have been working as wildlife rehabilitators
since the late seventies. Last year alone
they worked with over 316 animals including 47 species of birds, 10 species of mammals and one turtle. Currently they are
^,=-*'^(, working with over 15 squir-

\

C^T^'twobob-

around
50
percent, which is quite high considering the
type of injuries with which they are often
faced.
Reish brought with him a stuffed red tail
hawk, a roughleg hawk, a great horned owl,
a barn owl, a green heron and a loon. Reish
cautioned against handling these birds if
you come across one injured in the wilderness. For example, the red tail hawk has
talons that "can produce a quarter ton of
pressure and place a hole through your
palm," according to Reish, who speaks from
experience.
Reish encouraged protection of the great
horned owl because of a great service they
do for mankind; they are the only predator
of skunks. Reish also made a plea to the
forty students and faculty members present
to beware of fishing line carelessly left
along stream banks because it is a major
cause of injury to birds, especially the green
heron. Green herons are often brought to
the rehabilitation center because fishing line
has wrapped around their legs and either
broken them or deadened nerves.
A peregrine falcon was the star of the
presentation because it was the only live
specimen that Reish brought. The peregrine
falcon is endangered and the Reishes are
currently attempting to reintroduce the bird
to its natural surroundings. The bird is now
used for educational and breeding purposes
since it is unable to survive on its own in the
wild.
Also in the reintroduction program is the
endangered osprey. The success rate with
the osprey has been encouraging and there
are some osprey mature enough to start
nesting now.
Reish utilized a slide program to further
demonstrate the work that he and his wife

do at their center. The slide show consisted
of birds maturing from indistinguishable
ages to maturity levels that allow for their
release into the wild. The Reishes' proudest moment comes when they have rehabilitated an animal to a level that allows for its
release back into the environment from
which they were taken. The slides also contained heart-warming pictures of opossums,
bats, rabbits, bears, fawns and squirrels in
their recovery process and eventual release.
With a smile, Reish recounted the story
of a loon they rehabilitated. They kept the
loon in the bathtub since loons are naturally
water-based animals. The loon was so content in the bathtub that it spent the night
"yodeling" much to Reish's wife's great
delight. She claims it was "the best night's
sleep she's ever received."
The amount of time the Reishes devote
to animal rehabilitation is staggering and
often unrecognized. They must abide by
strict state and federal regulations concerning permits and proper facilities, but receive
no funding or personnel support from the
government. Therefore, the center exists
entirely on the contributions of organizations and individuals.

On a more serious note, Reish made a
plea to all in attendance
,to take an active role in
helping preserve wildlife.
^ Birds of prey are second
only to humans on the
food chain, and it is
responsibility to
L care for endan[gered species and
keep
careful
lo p u I a t i o n
counts. "We
must learn to
get ;iong,"
states Reish, " in order^
for wildlife to survive and prosper."
Dr. Joseph Calabrese, assistant professor
in the biological sciences department, commented, " T h e presentation brought the
expected turn-out with a lot of biology
majors, but was geared towards a more general audience. A great deal of information
was provided about animals, especially
predatory birds, that was probably unknown
to many in attendance. It was a really interesting program and offered a good pers()ective on conservation."

More famous sound bites for Harry Carrey
"Cubs Win! Cubs Win!" For those faithful Cubby fans, those were the words they
were waiting to hear. Not because they love
Harry Carreys' voice so much, but because
they started the season off 0-14.
That start broke the record for futility in
the National League. The 1988 Baltimore
Orioles hold the Major League Baseball
record for worst start when they went 0-21.
So are the Cubs as bad as the Orioles
were? Not by a long shot. The 1988 Orioles
auctioned off the future in hopes of a championship in the mid-1980's and in 1988 it
finally caught up to them. Cal Ripken Sr.
was fired after only six games and was
replaced by Frank Robinson. The Orioles
were a wreck, and the Cubs are far from
them.
The Cubs just got off to a bad start, and
faced some quality opponents that also
helped contribute to their 0-14 start.
The whole baseball community was
happy when the Cubs won last Sunday in the
second game of a doubleheader against the
New York Mets. The Cubs are not a bad
team and might even surprise some people
in the end. Remember baseball is a 162
game season and anything can happen from
April to September. Eddie Banks and Leo
Dorucher must be happy that the Cubs finally won.
On the other side of the bat, what about
those New York Giants, I mean San
Francisco Giants? The main reason I

flubbed was the last time the Giants got of to
a 13-3 start was in 1938 when they were in
New York and were playing in the fable Polo

The resurgence of the pitching staff can
be tied to the "new" Rod Beck. Beck, who
lead the Majors in blown saves the last two
seasons and was 0-8 last year with an ERA
near six, is perfect in save opportunities so
far this season. Beck re-tooled his windup

Worn laxters fall to tough competition
by Stacy Puhl
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The lady lacrosse team's jam packed
game schedules caught up to the laxters.
For the last three weeks the Lady Eagles
have been playing three games a week, back
to back.
After this past week's scheduled games
the Lady Eagle's record dropped to 5-6, 1-3
in the PSAC, with only two games left in the
season.
The Haven women started their weekend
on Saturday with a game against William
Smith in New York.
The very talented Division III team, who
is nationally ranked, dominated the field the
first half with a 16-3 lead and returned to the
field to finish the game wi'h three more
goals and allowed the Lady Eagles to only
be successful at three goals. The score
board read 22-6, William Smith at the end of
the game.
Leading Lock Haven with goals was
Senior Sharon Krieder, who scored two
goajs each half, with Kristen Pickersgill fol-

lowing behind with two.
The Lady Eagles where able to play on
their own field for the last time this season
in front of their home crowd on Monday, but
had little success against the Division I
school.
The game with Bucknell seemed as if it
was going to be a close game after the first
half when the two teams left the field with a
tie of 3-3. But Bucknell came back and finished the game off strong to tally-up a victory in their books with a 13-7 win.
Pickersgill led the team in goals, scoring
four and one assist. Krieder scored two
while Elaine Farago contributed one.
With no rest, the laxters moved on to
battle against Bloomsburg for a position in
the PSAC on Tuesday.
Pat Rudy, head lacrosse coach, commented that the game was "a good game
between two evenly matched teams."
Bloomsburg was still able to overpower the
Laxters, despite the strong defense that the
Lady Eagles possessed, scoring with less
then one minute in the game to give themselves a one pwint lead.
Rudy commented Jhat the "defense

played very well" which would be from the
contributions of consistent players on
defense such as Kristy Baldwin and Cheri
Drysdale, who where both praised by Rudy
for their performances in the season.
Krieder lead the team with five goals,
which brought her season record to 44, and
her career record to 152 goals.
Pickersgill, Farago and Amy Urich each
contributed one.
The Lady Eagles will travel to West
Chester to play the PSAC's number one
ranked team in their last PSAC game tomorrow, and will finish their season on Sunday
with a game against Philadelphia Textile.

League Pennant.
Last week I mentioned my beloved
Detroit Tigers and if anybody out there has
a 90mph fastball and a good curve, please
apply at Tiger Stadium for the position of
staff ace.
The Tigers can win some games with
their bats and even won a couple close
"pitcher duals" so far this season. As of
Wednesday they were a game out of last
place; just ahead of the Defending World
Series Champions, the New York Yankees.
Life is good.
Well, I have been talking baseball and
one cannot talk about baseball without making some predictions, so here I go. In the
National League I see the Marlins winning
the East in a one game playoff against
Atlanta. Atlanta gets the wild card and will
join the Giants and the Astros in the playoffs.
In the American League, California will
surprise some people and put the collacse of
1995 behind them and win the West. The
Central winner will be the Cleveland
Indians, and the winner in the East will be
the Detroit Tigers in one of baseball's best
worst-to-first stories. Nah, the Toronto Blue
Jays will win the East, and the Wild Card
belongs to the Orioles. The World Series
will be the Giants against Baltimore. The
winner will be....let's save that for October.
With my view from the cheap seats, I am
still Tiger Woods.

Eagles up their PSAC season record to 11-5
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The Bald Eagle baseball team is starting
to live up to the ]X)st season expectations
that everybody had for them. They are currently in a three-way tie for first after sweeping a must win doubleheader from lUP on
Wednesday.
lUP got on the board in the first inning
against LHU starter Jeremy Fisher. lUP had
a 1-0 lead and that was the only time all
afternoon that they would have a lead.
LHU bounced back in the bottom of the
first, scoring four runs, keyed by Curt
Chilson's 375 foot three-run home run over
the left field wall. LHU sent nine batters to
the plate in the inning.
Things went from bad to worse for lUP
as the Haven sent 15 batters to the plate in
the bottom of the second and scored 10 runs.
After giving up a two-run home run in
the third, Fisher settled down and went the
distance for his fourth win of the season. He
struck out 12 and walked only one batter.
LHU scored two more runs in the third
and four in the fourth to win the game in a
laugher 20-3.
LHU was still looking for some more
pay back against lUP, who swept them ear-

lier in the season, and got the sweep of the
lUP by winning game two 9-3.
The Bald Eagles jumped out to a quick
7-0 lead. LHU scored four in the first again,
thanks to an RBI-single by Kyle Cochran
and a bases clearing double by Leon Fitch.
Fitch also hit a solo home run in the fifth.
That was all the support LHU starter
Scott Bennett needed as he picked up his
sixth win of the season pitching a complete
game six-hitter.
The Bald Eagles' totals for the day were
amazing. Tliey had 34 hits and 29 runs.
Chilson hit six of seven on the day with
seven RBIs and six runs scored. Grant
Jackson was 3 for 6 in the first game with
four RBIs. Mike Galaida had a big day Curt Chilson was responsible for six

Markle brings experience to
the LHU pitching line-up
By Shawn Weinus
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
There are two sides to Amy Markle.
One side is the studious Journalism/Mass
Communication junior who spends time
studying and hanging out with friends. The
other side is a rugged and successful pitcher
for the LHU softball team.
Currently this year. Amy holds a 5-2
record, a 2.05 ERA and a strong position on
the Lady Eagles' pitching staff.
Softball is nothing new to Markle. She
has been playing since fifth grade and since
she was red-shirted due to an injury to her
shoulder last season, she still has two years
of eligibility left.
Head Coach Kim Lindsey said, "She has
improved steadily every year since she has
been with the program." That is very important to an athlete who is participating in any
sport in order to stay competitive and also to
keep playing the sport well.
Lindsey added, "She has developed a
broader range of pitches since she has been
here as well."
Markle, a Bellfonte High School graduate, credits her improvement in part to the

during the summer and her workout regimen as the driving force behind her success.
She also gives a lot of credit to a private

Markle concluded, "I hope the team has

innings, giving up three runs, just one
earned, to get the win. Cochran tripled in
the sixth inning and scored the go-ahead run
on an Ruiz grounder. Cochran also drove in
an insurance run for the Bald Eagles in the
seventh. Cochran led LHU at the plate,
going 3 for 4 with three RBIs. Randazzo
was 2 for 4 with a triple, Jackson was 2 for
4 and Dave Hartlaub was 2 for 4.
"We got two big wins today," LHU Head
Coach Smokey Stover said. "Kutztown is a
good team and we had to play well to beat
them. Everyone played, and everyone
played an important role today. We really
played as a team."
This sweep might help LHU's bid for
post-season play to get into Regionals.
LHU has swept the top two teams in the
PSAC-East this season, Kutztown and
Mansfield. LHU also plays PSAC-East
power West Chester next week, right before
the big series against Slippery Rock.
The Bald Eagles are 24-12-2 on the season and 11-5 in the PSAC-West with four to
play in the division, all on the road. The
stretch run is beginning and LHU looks
primed and ready to make a return trip to the
PSAC-Championships and make amends
for last year's losses on the final day by winning it all this year.

Ladies loose site of PSAC West playoffs
by Dustin Miller
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The Lady Eagles were eliminated from
the PSAC West softball playoff picture after
losing both games of a doubleheader to
California yesterday.
Tlie team played host to a California
team that was riding a 22 game winning
streak and had a 34-4 record overall.
In game one of the doubleheader. Lock
Haven held California to a 1-0 lead until the
top of the third when California was able to
score three runs off of three hits and jump
to 4-0.
California held a 7-0 lead in the bottom
of the seventh when the Lady Eagles put
together a rally.
Cori Anderson reached on an error and
Melissa Caldwell singled to put runners on
first and second.
A wild pitch moved the runners up for

Jen Estright who hit a double to score two
for the Lady Eagles.
But the rally ended quickly and Lock
Haven lost 7-2.
The team managed only three hits, two
of which were doubles by Brittany Sharp
and Estright.
Game two saw the Lady Eagles down 20 in the second where they were able to put
some runners on base. Sharp singled to
start things out and Roseann Mogan moved
her up a base as she ripped a single.
Pitcher Kim Summerill, roped a double
to plate Sharp and make the score 2-1. But
the team stranded two runners in scoring
position and ended the inning. California
was able to muster up one more run and end
the game with a score of 3-1.
Diane Drumheller and Summerill each
had a double to combine for half of the
team's four hits in the game.
Coach Kim Lindsey said it was kind of
disappointing to lose both games to

California. Lindsey said, "1 didn't expect to homer to put the team up 3-1.
The Lady Eagles held the lead until the
blow them off the field, but I expected the
fourth inning when lUP scored three runs in

Lindsey said that the team played well the inning, including a two run home run to
