Lock Haven Planning Commission won 7 approve it

The future looks bleak for two planned
off-campus student housing developments.
The Lock Haven Planning Commission
voted 4-2 to recommend disapproval for a
54 student housing project at 440-446 West

The Lock Haven Z(»iing Board met last
night to make a final decision, but the result was unavailable at press time.

According to the commission, the increased traffic flow from the two projects
would cause serious problems for the area.

The Lock Haven city code does not contain any provision for a dormitory, so it
would not be permitted in a residentially

Albarano responded by saying that according to tiie city code, tiie residents must
present evidence of possible detiimental effect ratiier than mere allegations.
"I didn't come into Lock Haven to be a
whipping post for all your past problems
with tiie college housing or the students at
the high school... and I'm not going to listen a lot of this petty nonsense that was put
on the table today."
The final decision rests with the Lock
Haven Zoning Board. If tiie project were to
receive a go-ahead from the board, it would
provide housing for 54 students. The three
story boarding house would contain 27
rooms for two students each, with one parking space for each room.
Each room would have its own bathroom,
but no kitchen facilities would be provided.
The building would also provide laundry facilities.
Albarano said that if his plan was tumed
down by the zoning board, he would pursue
the matter in court.

OPINION/EDITORIAL
Tips on eliminating waste
Why is it tiiat if you go to the store and
buy only one item, they still insist on putting it in a bag? This happened to me the
other day when I bought a quart of oil for
my car. As is typical these days, the bag
they gave me was one of those nonbiodegradable plastic ones that broke halfway to the parking lot anyway. Next time
tiiey can just keep the bag.
This is just one example of what we can
do to help our environment. It even has a
name now. Its called "precycling."
Precycling is the practice of reducing
waste before you buy. Often tfiis means
buying products in containers that can be recycled. In most areas, including Lock
Haven, this means buying in glass, cardboard, and aluminum while avoiding plastic
and styrofoam.
Almost 1/3 of the nation's garbage is
packaging that we throw away immediately. That's roughly 5 million tons of plastic
a year!
Several environmental groups have put
out "hit lists" of products that use excessive packaging. Whenever possible, try to
avoid these products and choose less wasteful ones. One product listed had five layers
of packaging!
Acccffding to the Earth Works Group of
Berkely, Califomia, we could eliminate
some 144 million pounds of plastic from
our landfills if 10% of Americans bought
products with less packaging only 10% of
tiie time!
Here are some precycling tips:
- Avoid disposable products. Did you
know that in America, we throw away 500
million disposable lighters every year? If
only we had enough patience to leam to refill the old Zijqx)...
- Buy bulk foods, if possible. The prices
are usually better and less packaging is required.
- Buy fresh vegetables when possible.
Usually fresh vegetables can be purchased
loose, leaving no packaging totiirowaway.
- Bring a bag to the grocery store. Many
stores (including Weis) offer a few cents off
if you bring your own bag. Why not take
advantage of it?
- Choose products in recyclable containers.
Did you know that the energy saved by recycling one aluminum can is enough to run
your television set for three hoius?
- Lastiy, just say no! Don't let the store
use a bag for only one or two items! Don't
use it if you don't need it.
It may not seem like much, but since we
don't have room to put all of our garbage,
its time we leam not to make so much of it

Confessions
of a dangerous
mind...
A few words about a few drinks
By Steven Infanti
Eagle Eye Assistant Editor
A friend of mine was recentiy reflecting
back upon his 21st birthday party. It
didn't take him too long to accomplish
this since he couldn't seem to recall anything about it. You see, he had celebrated
his 21st birthday tiie old-fashioned way ~
he got blind dmnk and had to be carried
home. Kind of ironic, his first night of legal drinking and he couldn't figure out
when he should have his last drink ~ no
matter how falling down dmnk he had become.
main reason is I just plain hate getting sick.
Stop and think about it for a minute.
You're dmnk, driving the old porcelain bus,
your head hanging in the toliet, spewing
forth the contents of your stomach in an area
where only a short time ago, somebody else
was spewing forth the contents of their
stomach from anotiier opening.
Alcohol is always prevelant of parties.
Some people feel alcohol steadies their
nerves when they're talking to the ladies.
Some ladies say it relaxes them and cuts
down on their inhibitions. This is another
example of where Mother Nature is a "mother". The girls drink so much that they lose
their inhibitions, but the guys drink so
much to steady their nerves that some nerves
are no longer capable of becoming steady.

OPINION/EDITORIAL
Tips on eliminating waste
Why is it tiiat if you go to the store and
buy only one item, they still insist on putting it in a bag? This happened to me the
other day when I bought a quart of oil for
my car. As is typical these days, the bag
they gave me was one of those nonbiodegradable plastic ones that broke halfway to the parking lot anyway. Next time
tiiey can just keep the bag.
This is just one example of what we can
do to help our environment. It even has a
name now. Its called "precycling."
Precycling is the practice of reducing
waste before you buy. Often tfiis means
buying products in containers that can be recycled. In most areas, including Lock
Haven, this means buying in glass, cardboard, and aluminum while avoiding plastic
and styrofoam.
Almost 1/3 of the nation's garbage is
packaging that we throw away immediately. That's roughly 5 million tons of plastic
a year!
Several environmental groups have put
out "hit lists" of products that use excessive packaging. Whenever possible, try to
avoid these products and choose less wasteful ones. One product listed had five layers
of packaging!
Acccffding to the Earth Works Group of
Berkely, Califomia, we could eliminate
some 144 million pounds of plastic from
our landfills if 10% of Americans bought
products with less packaging only 10% of
tiie time!
Here are some precycling tips:
- Avoid disposable products. Did you
know that in America, we throw away 500
million disposable lighters every year? If
only we had enough patience to leam to refill the old Zijqx)...
- Buy bulk foods, if possible. The prices
are usually better and less packaging is required.
- Buy fresh vegetables when possible.
Usually fresh vegetables can be purchased
loose, leaving no packaging totiirowaway.
- Bring a bag to the grocery store. Many
stores (including Weis) offer a few cents off
if you bring your own bag. Why not take
advantage of it?
- Choose products in recyclable containers.
Did you know that the energy saved by recycling one aluminum can is enough to run
your television set for three hoius?
- Lastiy, just say no! Don't let the store
use a bag for only one or two items! Don't
use it if you don't need it.
It may not seem like much, but since we
don't have room to put all of our garbage,
its time we leam not to make so much of it

Confessions
of a dangerous

A few words about a few drinks
By Steven Infanti
Eagle Eye Assistant Editor
A friend of mine was recentiy reflecting
back upon his 21st birthday party. It
didn't take him too long to accomplish
this since he couldn't seem to recall anything about it. You see, he had celebrated
his 21st birthday tiie old-fashioned way ~
he got blind dmnk and had to be carried
home. Kind of ironic, his first night of legal drinking and he couldn't figure out
when he should have his last drink ~ no
matter how falling down dmnk he had become.
main reason is I just plain hate getting sick.
Stop and think about it for a minute.
You're dmnk, driving the old porcelain bus,
your head hanging in the toliet, spewing
forth the contents of your stomach in an area
where only a short time ago, somebody else
was spewing forth the contents of their
stomach from anotiier opening.
Alcohol is always prevelant of parties.
Some people feel alcohol steadies their
nerves when they're talking to the ladies.
Some ladies say it relaxes them and cuts
down on their inhibitions. This is another
example of where Mother Nature is a "mother". The girls drink so much that they lose
their inhibitions, but the guys drink so
much to steady their nerves that some nerves
are no longer capable of becoming steady.
When a lot of people talk about tiieir
