Campus to introduce food court system
Renovations continue on dining hall
By Steven Infanti
Eagle Eye Editor-in-Chief
Work is continuing on the Lobby Food
Court at the bottom of BenUey Dining
Hall. According to John E. Wilt, director
of Dining Services, the last part of the renovations will be completed in August
"We're developing an area that wiU hold
a pizza operation, a deli and a convenience
store," Wilt said. The food court will hold
Pete's Arena Pizza, which will dehver pizza to the residence halls; Stack's Deli,
GriUs and Frills, and the convenience store.
which will house a wide selection of prepackagedfoodsand beverages.
According to Wilt, the building isn't the
only part of the dining hall to undergo a major change. The way students pay for their
meals will also be revamped to give the students greater flexibility.
The residence hall students' board plan
will entiUe them to any 14 meals a week.
In addition, they will have $100 Flex Dollars, which will give them more dining cations.
Off-campus students can purchase a 14meal plan plus $100 Flex Dollars; 10-meai
plan with $50 Flex Dollars; a seven meal
plan wiUi $50 Flex Dollars, or $100 Hex
Dollars only.
Wilt explained the Flex DoUars are kept
in your account and can be used in any
Bentley Hall dining facility. The balance
will decline as it is used, and the account
can be used to treat a guest to a meal, have
pizza delivered to the residence hall, hold catered events for a special occasion (Individual accounts can be pooled together to pay
for larger functions.) or pay additional
charges for a cash equivalency meal.
A cash equivalency meal is when a student on the board plan chooses not to eat a
regular meal in the dining hall and decides
to "trade" that meal for the "cash equivalent" in the Lobby Food Court
If die
student's purchase cost more than the cash
equivalent, the student could use the Flex
DoUars or can pay in cash to make up the
difference.
Construction workers have expanded the
downstairs to allow for 200 more seats,
and there will be additional seating outside.
The renovations to both the upstairs and
the new food court system have totaled
$700,000. A pamphlet describing the
changes will be sent to all the students.

Eagle Eye Editor-in-Chief
I've come to the conclusion that I can't
dance. I have a lot of trouble with those
fast songs, rap and country songs, and I
avoid those killer poUcas that my grandparents love. I tried slam dancing once only I
didn't know it at the time. I was trying to
do a polka only I had too much to drink,
and some* idiot put the record on 78 rpm.
One minute I'm a dancing fool, the next,
some guy in Uttie green shorts is kicking
me in the head.
Perhaps the problem is diat I'm too selfconscious about my dancing. I'm worried
that I'll rap my head or my flailing arms
will knock out somebody's eye, or I'll just
slip and fall. AU these things have happened in the past

although I had no idea what I should be doing at any given time. I reverted back to

To the editor
Boxing fan slams corruption
To the editor:
The Tyson-Ruddock rematch wasn't
worth the $40 it cost on pay-per-view last
Friday night.
There was just too much hype leading up
to the fight including Tyson's revelation
that he would make Ruddock "his girlfriend."
The fight itself was a pretty uneventful
showing. Tyson did knock Ruddock down
twice, altiiough Ruddock got up smUing
fiiom both knockdowns. Days after the
fight we learned that Ruddock had a hairline
fracture of the jaw, which may testify to
Tyson's overall punching power. However,
we've witnessed Evander Holyfield at the receiving end of some brain shattering blows
from the likes of George Foreman, Alex
Stewart, and Michael Dokes, and Holyfield
barely registered recognition of the purKhes.
Holyfield is a superior boxer, chiseled out
of granite, thanks to the aid of Lee Haney.
His pulse rate drops from 180 to 110 in just
the 60 seconds between rounds. Doctors
say Holyfield can fight 12 rounds at any
pace he wants. What can we say about
Ruddock? He got knocked out in the Sth
roimd by Dave Jaco, a noted ESPN "bum."
After the fight Don King spckc for Tyson and stated "We don't want Holyfield." I
wonder why? Probably because it wouldn't
be in his best interests. Tyson might last
eight or nine rounds until he punched himself out, dien Holyfield would mercUessly
assassinate him. They could caU Holyfield
"the Terminator" and it would be judgment
day for Iron Mike.
If the boredom of Tyson and Ruddock
wasn't enough, we also bore wioiess to what
could certainly be regarded as rampant corruptness.
Azumah Nelson defended his WBC Super
Featherweight tide against Jeff Fenech of
AustraUa. Nelson won the first two rounds
but Fenech clearly controlled the remaining
nine rounds. It was definitely one of the
best fights I have witnessed, but when the
fight ended, no one in the room doubted Fenech's victory. Alas, Fenech's hand was not
to raised as victorious.
The judges had it scored as a split decision.
One judge scored it 116-112, Nelson; another 115-113, Fenech; and the third scored it
114-114 and the bout was declared a draw.
Unfortunately for Fenech, Don King Productions held the upper hand. It was odd how
King waddled into the ring and immediately
tried to console Fenech (Nelson is a King
fighter) and hurried to plant the rematch bug
in Fenech's mind.
Fenech was ranked No. 1 contender in the
Super Featherweight Division, but he didn't
box for the past 18 months because of broken hands. He's still the best boxer in diat division and I wouldn't be surprised if French
is being lured into thS King camp.
There is growing evidence that the world
of professional boxing has become a dictatorship nm by Don King.
When Buster Douglas knocked out Tyson,
there was a 13 second count just as there
was earUer in the same bout when Tyson
knocked down Douglas. King wanted to ap-
peal the decision due to the long count.
During the ensuing court battie, the IBF
and WBA upheld the decision, but the WBC
upheld the appeal. Later die WBC had to
bow to the majority, so Douglas got to
keep die titie.
Keep in mind Uiat all of King's fighters
are WBC tide holders or top-ranked contenders. King is very good friends with
WBC President Jose Sulaiman, who hand
picks the judges and referees { bouts.
It's a rule Uiat the champion of each
weight division get 75 percent of a tide
purse and Uie challenger gets 25 percent
Wasn't it strange Uien that King demanded
45 percent for Tyson when trying to sign
the Holyfield-Tyson match. Holyfield refused and before long King is trying to get
Sulaiman to sbip Holyfield of his belts for
not agreeing to the bout LuckUy, Bob
Lee, President of Uie WBA upheld Holyfield's possession of Uie belts and the IBF
foUowed suit, leaving Uie corrupt WBC in
the dust
One can only wonder how deep the corruption runs. I don't want to believe Uiat
boxing is comipt, but wiUi peqile like Don
King in powerful positions, it's becoming
more and more obvious that Uiere is a problem. The current crop of up and coming
fighters have enough problems wiUiout
Don King being the multiplying facttx- and
"role models" like Tyson not being able to
act civilized on national television.

This young lady could challenge MC
Hammer in a dancing contest and might

floor. I was sweating like Mike Tyson in a

without tripping over my own feet. EventuaUy, I was reduced to just standing there,
in my best Public Enemy pose, so that it
looked like I was some form of dancing
demigod who was too cool to dance.
Fortunately, a slow song came on and I
was able to grab a new partner. Well, actually she tripped into me on the way to the
bathroom and I took Uiat as a sign Uiat she
wanted to dance. My only fear with a slow
song is whether my deodorant or mouthwash wUl give out

qiportunity to take to the skies in a hot

David Penback of Pine Creek Adventures spent two hours ferrying the 30 to
40 clients, plus attendants, to approximately 100 feet above the ground where
Uiey could take in the view of Lock
Haven and the surrounding area.
Belva Reese went iqi in the balloon
wiUt her disabled daughter, Leslie, and
said although she was a little scared at
first the view was well worth it. "After
you are up there it's gorgeous." Reese
was grateful for the opportunity the event
gave her daughter, saying, "This is reaUy
good for Leslie."
The balloon ride was Uie brainchild of
student Gene Benneu, a special education
major at LHU. As intended, it allowed
clients and students to interact and become familiar with each others, while at
the same time being fun for everyone.

nine rounds. It was definitely one of the
best fights I have witnessed, but when the
fight ended, no one in the room doubted Fenech's victory. Alas, Fenech's hand was not
to raised as victorious.
The judges had it scored as a split decision.
One judge scored it 116-112, Nelson; another 115-113, Fenech; and the third scored it
114-114 and the bout was declared a draw.
Unfortunately for Fenech, Don King Productions held the upper hand. It was odd how
King waddled into the ring and immediately
tried to console Fenech (Nelson is a King
fighter) and hurried to plant the rematch bug
in Fenech's mind.
Fenech was ranked No. 1 contender in the
Super Featherweight Division, but he didn't
box for the past 18 months because of broken hands. He's still the best boxer in diat division and I wouldn't be surprised if French
is being lured into thS King camp.
There is growing evidence that the world
of professional boxing has become a dictatorship nm by Don King.
When Buster Douglas knocked out Tyson,
there was a 13 second count just as there
was earUer in the same bout when Tyson
knocked down Douglas. King wanted to ap-
peal the decision due to the long count.
During the ensuing court battie, the IBF
and WBA upheld the decision, but the WBC
upheld the appeal. Later die WBC had to
bow to the majority, so Douglas got to
keep die titie.
Keep in mind Uiat all of King's fighters
are WBC tide holders or top-ranked contenders. King is very good friends with
WBC President Jose Sulaiman, who hand
picks the judges and referees { bouts.
It's a rule Uiat the champion of each
weight division get 75 percent of a tide
purse and Uie challenger gets 25 percent
Wasn't it strange Uien that King demanded
45 percent for Tyson when trying to sign
the Holyfield-Tyson match. Holyfield refused and before long King is trying to get
Sulaiman to sbip Holyfield of his belts for
not agreeing to the bout LuckUy, Bob
Lee, President of Uie WBA upheld Holyfield's possession of Uie belts and the IBF
foUowed suit, leaving Uie corrupt WBC in
the dust
One can only wonder how deep the corruption runs. I don't want to believe Uiat
boxing is comipt, but wiUi peqile like Don
King in powerful positions, it's becoming
more and more obvious that Uiere is a problem. The current crop of up and coming
fighters have enough problems wiUiout
Don King being the multiplying facttx- and
"role models" like Tyson not being able to
act civilized on national television.

in my best Public Enemy pose, so that it

Fortunately, a slow song came on and I

Eagle Eye Stc^Reporter
As a kick-off to Uie 20Ui annual
Summer Recreation for Exceptional
Citizens program. Lock Haven University faculty and students from the special education department gave local clients of Hope Enterprises, Inc. Uie
qiportunity to take to the skies in a hot
air balloon last Thiu'sday.
David Penback of Pine Creek Adventures spent two hours ferrying the 30 to
40 clients, plus attendants, to approximately 100 feet above the ground where
Uiey could take in the view of Lock
Haven and the surrounding area.
Belva Reese went iqi in the balloon
wiUt her disabled daughter, Leslie, and
said although she was a little scared at
first the view was well worth it. "After
you are up there it's gorgeous." Reese
was grateful for the opportunity the event
gave her daughter, saying, "This is reaUy
good for Leslie."
The balloon ride was Uie brainchild of
student Gene Benneu, a special education
major at LHU. As intended, it allowed
clients and students to interact and become familiar with each others, while at
the same time being fun for everyone.
Alexander University Ford sponsored
the event, and WBPZ-AM provided music and a live remote broadcast
