Tobacco users give ID cards a workout
by Amy Satkofsky
Eagle Eye News Editor_
All cigarette smokers and chewing
tobacco users must now delay desires to
satisfy nicotine cravings until after the
proper ID has been shown to employees
selling the tobacco products.
The Federal Drug Administration
recently pas.sed a new national law, which
was enacted last Friday. The new law states
that anyone under the age of 27 wanting to
buy cigarettes or chewing tobacco must
present a photo ID that proves the customer
to be at least 18 years old.
The University is not exempt to the new
law, although most University students are
over the age of 18. All University students
must present photo ID at the bookstore and
at the information desk located in the
Parsons Union Building (PUB) in order to
purchase tobacco products.
Signs stating that photo ID must be
shown are clearly displayed at both locations on campus where tobacco products
can be purchased.
According to Paul Uricchio, a student
employee of the PUB information desk, all

student employees of the desk were told
that checking student IDs wpuld be imperative with the passing of the new law.
Store owners caught selling to minors
face federal fines of $250 per violation.
However, Uricchio said that most students
know about the law and are cooperative
about presenting their IDs.
The information desk accepts a driver's
license or the Eagle Card as forms of valid
photo ID.
University students will be required to
show the proper ID at all times when purchasing tobacco products from an on-campus location. Most University students will
probably be carded at local businesses as
well.
According to Kathy Harger, an employee at Weis Markets, the store has revised
their old store policy, which stated that customers had to be 21 to purchase tobacco
products, to be compatible with the new
national law.
Weis customers may now purchase cigarettes and chewing tobacco at the age of
18.
"Of course, we'll still check your ID if
you look younger than 27," Harger said.
Signs are also at the registers of other

area businesses, including Scot's Lx)-Cost,
Bi-Lx) and the Avenue Six Pack. Business
owners and employees say that most customers are cooperative about showing proper ID.
Students questioned about the new law

(photo by Sheri Elfman)
felt that they could deal with showing their
IDs as long as they could still purchase
tobacco products.
"I don't look 27 and I'm not, so card
me. But give me my cigarettes," exclaimed
University student Dave Weaver.

SCC passes bill to increase student activity fee
by Amy Satkofsky
Eagle Eye News Editor_
In a 15-1-3 senator vote, the bill to raise
the sUident activity fee was passed at
Wednesday night's Student Cooperative
Council (SCC) meeting.
Tbe bill, which states that the fee will be
raised from $72 to $88 and increased 5.5%
for three consecutive semesters, was tabled
at the last SCC meeting.
The bill was
tabled in order to enable senators to discuss
the issue with their constituents and answer
any questions they may have.
The bill was approved to be brought
back onto the floor by a senator vote, after
two weeks to answer questions from their
constituents. Following the bill moving
onto the floor, a few audience members

questioned whether or not raising the fee
was necessary.
SCC President Larry Flint explained
that increasing the fee is necessary in order
to continue meeting the fixed expenses of
running the corporation and to meet the
variable expense of funding all University
clubs and organizations.
The fee was last raised in 1994 and consisted of a 6% raise from $60 for three consecutive years. Flint explained at the last
SCC meeting that the fee needs to be raised
as the cost of living rises in order to keep
the corporation financially stable and able
to fund University clubs and organizations.
SCC Treasurer Kelly Yeagle added to
Flint's explanation saying that the increase
in the fee is to accommodate University
clubs and organizations whose monetary
needs are on the rise.

Brian Ploskina, SCC senator, made the
point of interest that the SCC is required by
law to fund the athletic department.
Following the above discussion.
Speaker of the Senate Amanda Mulfinger
asked senators if they were in favor of calling the question. She was essentially asking the senators if they were ready to vote
on the issue of raising the fee. The senators
voted to "call the question." The bill was
then passed.
The SCC, with the passed bill, will now
be able to run their corporation efficiently
and fund campus clubs and organizations.
They will also be more equal to other state
universities.
Flint delivered a film presentation at the
last riteeting that described where the
University stood in relation to the 13 other
State Systems for Higher Education

(SSHE) schools.
The data showed that the University is
second lowest in mandatory fees, including
the student activity fee. The $16 hcrease
will place the University in equal standing
with the other SSHE schools at the end of
the four year percentage increase.
University President Dr. Craig Dean
Willis was pleased that the fee was raised.

Ne w s
City residents speak openly about Miller
Continued from last
week, Lock Haven people speak out about the
local legend.
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Sports Editor
Robert Bravard, director of Stevenson
Library and member of the Lock Haven
City Council, knows what it is like to be
sued by George Miller. Dave Romig, city
code enforcement officer, knows too.
There are a lot of residents in Lock Haven
that have been connected to court proceedings courtesy of Miller.
"What are you suing me for," exclaims
a frustrated Bravard, now years after he
won his court battle with Miller. "He thinks
we're (the city) out to get him."
Miller has been in several entanglements with the city dating back as early as
1967 when he and an associate broke
through the chief water main with a pickax. Miller refused to pay for repairs and his
tenants went without water for months.
Most of his properties have been torn
down now and times have been quiet
between Miller and the city. Dan Adams,
the Lock Haven Express City Editor, has
covered the ongoing saga for nine years
now and he expressed that the stories used
to be fun. "It was one of those stories that
you would get excited about," he said. But
now those stories have lost a lot of their
impact for Adams.
One of the exciting court battles was
when Miller took the city to court for fining
him for the signs that he posted on his prop-

erties at 130-134 E. Church St. in 1987
without a permit. The signs violated city
code and he was ordered to remove them.
"The whole thing became a free speech
issue," states Bravard. Miller lost the suit
although Bravard, a constitutional advocate, states that he wanted him to win.
Miller's chances are minimized when he
goes to court because he refuses to hire a
lawyer. The city was not done with Miller
however, and he was taken to court for frivolous law suits. He lost and was forced to
reimburse the city's insurance company for
over $20,000.
Adams feels that the times when the city
fines Miller or tears down his houses gives
him more validity. "George has this view
that the city has done him wrong," said
Adams. "Maybe he's right."
Romig has no such sympathy for Miller
however. "He came in and asked if he
would need a permit, and 1 told him yes,"
said Romig. "Three months later, the signs
went up and he never applied for the permit."
Romig has also been annoyed with
Miller's delay tactics when there are problems with his properties that have been
ordered to be fixed by the city. Miller will
often put "For Sale" signs on the property,
but according to Romig, he never has any
intention of selling. "He's turned away perspective buyers," said Romig.
Miller's present home at 539 W. Main
St. is also in danger. There is an old wooden garage in the backyard that is on the
verge of collapsing. The second floor balcony on the house is only held up by
makeshift beams and 2x4s. The grass on
the property is cut by the city at least once a
year and the leaves never get raked. City
police have written up several fines for the

unkempt property but they go unpaid.
Romig believes that the residents of
Lock Haven should be alarmed that he
spends at least a quarter of the code
enforcement office's time on Miller.
"I wish he [Miller] would walk away,"
states Bravard. "He's suffered so terribly."
According to Bravard, fighting the
city is Miller's sole purpose in life. Early
city councils tried to reason with him but
everyone's position hardened as the years
passed.
The residents of the city have not been
happy about Miller either. "The closer people get to him, the more they resent him,"
stated Bravard. It is difficult to find out

Miller posted the above sign illegally, located next to Fox's Family
Restaurant. After he was fined for the sign, he fought the city claiming he
was protected under the First Ammendment's freedom of speech clause.

Relationships the focus of Father/Son wrestling camp
by Kim Kupec
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
A weekend wrestling camp developed for fathers and sons will be held
at the University, July 11-13.
In its seventh year, the camp teaches technique and
fundamentals,
strength training methods for appropriGie ages, dieting and teamwork. The
camp is open to wrestlers of all ages,
but the participants are primarily
between the ages of six and 12.
During the camp, fathers and sons
live in the same room in the residence
halls, eat together and get work-out
time on the mat, according,to.Q^rl Poff,.
head wrestling coach at the University.

"The father/son weekend gives
fathers and sons the chance to spend
quality time together," said Poff. "It
seems like in today's society, fathers
and sons do not get the opportunity to
be vith each other often."
Poff explained that, " The main goal
of the other camps offered here is
to improve a wrestler's skill
level."
"The major objective
for the father/son camp is
to enhance the relationship between the father
and the son
through
wrestling," stated Poff.
*
The camp will be instructed
by' Poff, Rock and Riefcy'••Bono^Tio,

exactly what properties Miller still owns
because he has created companies that take
credit for owning the houses. The largest of
these is ANSPAR, Inc. It is common opinion however, that 539 W. Main St. is the
final property that Miller owns and that it
will be torn down as well and he will bd
homeless.
Miller inherited his properties from his
father but he was a theatre student ai PennState University. Most Lock Haven residents hope that Miller has finished ^js performance as man versus the city. Bravard
remarked, "I think about the bright young
man who wanted to be an actor and instead
fights over cutting the grass."

Doug Buckwalter and members of the
wrestling team.
"The father/son weekend is a camp
we provide that is good for the sport
and the family members involved. The
camp gets bigger and better every year
and we anticipate the number of participants to grow," Poff
said.

As part of this year's annual National
Foreign Language Week celebration with
the theme "Stepping Stones to World
Understanding," Alpha Mu Gamma, the
foreign language honor society, held an
open forum to discuss cultural and customary differences of people around the world
on Wednesday in Robinson Hall of Flags.
According to Dr. Linda Emmanuel,
French professor, the organization chose
the discussion topic, "Do's and Dont's
Around the World," in order to be consistent with this year's theme. She said the
discussion was an effort to educate students
who are planning to travel abroad on the
cultural differences they may encounter.
Rene Lutz, president of the organization, related some of the events of her stay
in Costa Rica during the 1995 fall semester
as part of the University's exchange program. She said it is very important for students to understand the actions of people
from other cultures and be aware that these
actions may not neces.sarily be derogatory
or meant to be offensive.
Two audience members, Kim and
Dawn Heisler, said they are planning to
study abroad in England next semester and
attended the discussion to get a better
understanding of the English culture. Of
Americans visiting Europe, the former
Heisler said Americans are referred to as
"smiling sandwiches" because of the
"friendliness and smiling faces that are
characteristic of Americans."
Kendall Brostuen, director of international studies, said that Americans generally want per.sonal space, as opposed to people in Latin speaking countries, because "in
America we like to have something we call
our own." He advised students who wish to
travel to Spain and live with a host family
to leave their doors slightly opened. He
said that closing a door completely while
inside a room shows a sign of disrespect
and will offend the host family.
Of other cultural differences, one audience member said that South Americans
and Canadians are very offended when persons from the United States refer to themselves as Americans.
"People in South America and Canada
get offended, and rightly so, because they
are just as American as we are," said
Philosophy Professor, Dr. Joan WhitmanHoff.
She encouraged "students who are
traveling to other countries to take time to
do some research on the region before they
arrive there. She said it is not just differences in language that poses a problem with
foreigners and the local people of Ihe
region, but it is the attitudes that travelers
take with them by not being educated about <

cultural norms of the country.
Emmanuel also made a distinction
between building and housing practices of
Americans and Europeans.
"In Europe people put up walls in their
backyards and find it odd that Americans
have opened shared space in their backyards. We tend to block off the inside by
closing our doors, but they block off the
outside with walls," she said.
Brostuen worked 11 years in Madrid,
Spain and spent the last eight years working
as a liason for American students coming
into the cpuntry to study. He said that it is

gratifying to see how students grow [in
understanding the culture] as well as getting a better understanding of who they are
while attending Spanish universities.
This is the 40th anniversary of the celebration, but is the second annual observation of it at the University, according to
Emmanuel. She said Alpha Mu Gamma is
a fairly new organization on campus, but
will continue to organize these events annually.

asked the library staff about the error.
Stevenson Library could not verify that I
returned the books. Lucky for me, four
days later the lending library called to
inform Stevenson that the books had just
been received in the mail. The library
requires inter-library books to be returned a
week before their due date for shipping
time. What did they do during that week in
my case? Why couldn't they verify I
returned the books?
The bar code system saves time and
effort. How accurate and secure is it? I
was just notified through the mail that I
have an overdue book. The problem is I
never checked that book out. I am currently waiting for results of the library's "investigation." A hold has been placed on my
account. Does innocent until proven guilty
apply to the library system? How many
other students have been wrongly accused?

I use Stevenson Library regularly and

which disturb me. The scanning system

many times during the day. The only action
taken by the desk worker is a brief glance

Inter-library loan is a wonderful system

ZK defends their victory
at "Jam the Gym"
Dear Editor:
In recent weeks, my organization has
received very negative publicity via your
newspaper concerning the "Jam the Gym"
night. On behalf of my organization, I
would like to put an end to the complaining that has come out of the fact that we
took first place in this competition.
It was our understanding wh'in we
were approached that this competition was
to get spectators to the game that have
never been there before to support the
"National Women and Girls in Sports
Day." Our organization attended this
game to support our fellow women in
sports (both on the basketball team and the
cheerleading squad). I find it hard to
believe that this group of students who
claim they have school spirit can bash our
organization and accuse us of being
money driven when they do not kii w the
first thing about us.
What kind of school spirit is that?
Maybe in the future the University should
think twice about having another "Jam the

turn a positive event into a negative one.

Columnist should research topics before writing about them
Dear Editor:
This is in response to Mr. Nagy's article
a couple weeks ago in which he felt the
University should make men's volleyball
and men's ice hockey varsity sports. Now
don't get me wrong, 99 percent of the time
I am very open to people's opinions. When
1 refuse to accept an opinion is when it is an
uneducated one. If Mr. Nagy would have
done some research he would realize there
is one major factor to be considered when
looking at University varsity sports. Title
IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 is
a federal statute that prohibits sex discrimination. When looking at Title IX in relation
to intercollegiate athletics, some strict
guidelines have been set up including the
following:
., ,
,

1. The men's programs as a whole must
be compared with the women's programs as
a whole. Comparisons cannot be made
sport by sport.
2. In evaluating overall compliance,
there is no exception from Title IX for revenue producing sfxirts such as football.
3. In evaluating athletic participation
opportunities, three factors must be considered: the determination of athletic interests
and abilities, the selection of sports and the
level of competition.
4. Schools must provide "equivalent"
(but not necessarily identical) athletic benefit opportunities and treatment to female
and male athletes. That is, overall athletic
programs must be "equal or equal in effect"
and the overall effect pf any differences

must be negligible. Important factors
determining equivalence are availability,
quality, types of benefits, opportunities and
treatment.
If you take those four guideline^ and
loosely translate them it means that men's
and women's sports opportunities must be
provided in proportion to enrollment? If
they are not equal opportunities, the
University must prove they are trying to
increase the levels to be proportionate to
enrollment.
So, Mr. Nagy the next time you want to
make such bold ctaims do your research
first, chances are there is a good reason for
the way things are.
Sincerely,
Jane E. Carey

Confessions of a Pepsi A b u s e r
"Hi, my name is Noelle, and I am a
Pepsiholic." ("Hi Noelle!") Now, many
people are quite fond of this beverage, the
cooling sugary wetness that glides down
one's throat so easily, especially after swallowing something spicy or a mouthful of
something mealy. The sweet bubbling froth
that cascades in fizzling streams from the
bottle to your glass and from your glass
through the tunnel of your straw. And of
course, with each sip of syrupy wonder
comes the promise of a caffeine
buzz...energy to a tired soul who has none.
Added energy to someone eager to maintain what they have. And then there is me.
I have to have Pepsi with every lunch
and every dinner. I simply have to. (Coke
will simply not do...too little fizzle and too
much of a lemony aftertaste.) Tliis daily
intake of empty calories and a guaranteed
afternoon and evening buzz is bad enough,
but not enough for me. I drink Pepsi in the
morning going to my first class. I drink
Pepsi at my desk in my second class. I
drink Pepsi at lunch, wait a while, and drink
some more at school after lunch. I go home
and have a Pepsi. I eat dinner with a Pepsi.
I watch Late Night TV (usually sans a
snack 'cause I hate nightmares of fifth
grade reunions, riding alone on a train that
never stops and having to go naked to the
post office at midnight, April 15th, to mail
in my tax return). I wake up in the middle
of the night with cotton mouth and take a
shot of Pepsi.
Pepsi in a can, Pepsi in a bottle. Pepsi
from the fridge. Pepsi on ice. (clink, clink,
yum, yum). Pepsi "Grand Slam" size.
Pepsi "Quick Slam" size. Pepsi from a

for gas and when he goes into the little store
to pay. He is not allowed back into the car

Theater events slated for spring
by Katie Btvmmer
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
The University theater department has
lined up great plays this semester, which
will lead into a celebration of women in the
arts.
There is one mainstage production in the
works entitled Black Elk Speaks, as well as
two studio productions. Girls We Have
Known and Laundry and Bourbon.
University faculty will also present a special
production called Uncommon Women and
Others.
Black Elk Speaks is a Native American
play which focuses on how the Plains
Indians lost their heritage. It tells the story
of the Dakota tribe through the eyes of its
tribespeople. Special attention is placed on
how the Dakotas work out their problems
with white people. This play is directed by
Dr. Denys Gary, Professor of Speech and
Theater, and will run the weekends of April
10-12 and April 17-19 at 8:00 p.m. in the
Sloan Fine Aits Auditorium.
The studio production Girls We Have
Known is about two men on a road trip from
Los Angeles to New York detoured in
Kansas. The play takes place between the
two men while drinking together in Kansas.
As things unfurl, they talk about love and
the way men see women. This play is
directed by Heather Gardner, a student, and
can be seen from March 19-22 at 8:00 p.m.

in the Countdown Theater, 321 Sloan.
In connection with Girls We Have
Known, Laundry and Bourbon is a play that
investigates the discontent and comical gossip of three housewives who find out that
their marriages are less than they had hoped
for. This play is directed by Professor
Gordon Phetteplace of the Speech and
Theater Department.
This is Phetteplace's first time directing
a play at the University. Darrel Peter, president of the University Players, said, "It's a
treat when the faculty can get involved with
theater because it really brings relationships
between the students and the faculty closer
together."
Laundry and Bourbon will also run
between March 19-22 in the Countdown
Theater.
Uncommon Women and Others is a
Faculty Studio Show that will be directed by
Professor John Gordon. This play opens
with a group of girls reuniting in 1978 and
reminiscing about their lives as college
seniors in 1972 at Mount Holyoake College.
This is portrayed through a flashback in the
first scene.
Uncommon Women and Others will be
shown on the second floor of Sloan April 30
through May 3. This play in particular ties
in with the celebration of Women in the Arts
Week April 27 through May 3, during which
time there will be a theater, art and music
event every night.

Gnest coodncts SyinphoDic Band
b y Kristy F r e e m a n
Eagle Eye Features
Reporter_
The University Symphonic Band held its
annual winter concert last Thursday evening
in Price Performance Center featuring guest
conductor Stanley F. Michalski.
This is the third year in which the concert has included a guest conductor. In 1995
and 1996 the concert had three different
guests.
Although this was Michalski's first time
conducting the Symphonic Band, he has a
long-time friendship with Band Director
John Schmidt and commented, "it's always
a pleasure to come to Lock Haven."
Michalski currently lives in Charlotte,
North Carolina, and is a professor of music
at both Winthrop University and the
University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
He is also the director of instrumental music
for the Mecklenberg Count Catholic
Schools.
Of the seven pieces performed by the
band, Michalski conducted two: "Elegy for
a Young American," written by Richard Lo
Presti after the" death bf John F. Kfctiifeay,

and "Hoagy Carmichael in Concert" by
Warren Barker.
Other selections played by the
Symphonic Band included "Chorale and
Toccata," by Jack Stamp; "Folk Dances," by
Shostakovich; "March of the Scaffold," by
Berlioz; "Drumbeat Jamboree," by Paul
Yoder; and "March Grandiose," by Roland
Seitz.
The sounds of the different pieces
ranged from the solemn sadness of "Elegy
for a Young American" to the carnival-like
tempo of "Folk Dances." The solo performances during "Hoagy Carrtiichael in
Concert" and various percussion sounds
offered demonstrations of the talent present
in the University Symphonic Band.
However, this talent was not easy to
develop. According to conductor Schmidt,
it took the band six weeks, three days each
week, to prepare for the concert.
In gratitude to Michalski, Schmidt presented him with a plaque from the
University Band and Music Department in
recognition of his outstanding education service. Schmidt, talking about Michalski,
said, ''I'm honored to have him here."

Flaming Idiots scheduled to entertain
by Tori Mello
Eagle Eye Features Editor_
The Haven Activities Council (HAC)
has a treat in store for you. The Flaming
Idiots ~ a whip-cracking, balloon-swallowing, pin-twirling, human-juggling, straight
jacket- escaping troupe of comedians— will
visit the University on March 19 in Price
Performance Center at 8 p.m.
Three years ago this Austin-based trio
left home to take what was then a mediocre
juggling act on the road. Today Rob
Williams, Kevin Hunt and Jon O'Connor
have become "one of the most brilliant juggling teams in America."
Bob Knerr, HAC Coordinator, saw the
Idiots last semester at the NACA East Coast
Regional Conference. "When I saw them
perform, I thought we definitely needed to
get the Idiots to come to Lock Haven. Not
only is their juggling amazing, but they keep
the crowd laughing as well," he explains.
You may have seen this group on shows
such shows as The Tonight Show, The Late
Show with David Letterman, Comic Strip
Live, Sunday Comics and America's Super
Showcase.
According to the Flaming Idiots' publi-

The Flaming Idiots will bring their unique blend of juggling, acrobatics
and comedy to Price Performance Ceter on Wednesday, March 19 at 8
p.m. Admission is free for students with valid ID.
cist, their routine consists of distinct characters, a laid-back style and comedic timing
honed over a decade of continuing performance. The show should have you laugh-

ing, cheering and "writing favorable letters
to their parole board."
The Idiots bring their variety of backgrounds to the stage. Rob Williams (Gyro)

left a promising career with the McDonalds
Corporation to become an Idiot; Jon
O'Connor (Pyro) quit his job as a control
expediter for the Tandy Corporation to
become an Idiot; and Kevin Hunt (Walter)
received a degree in aircraft maintenance
before promptly talking Rob and Jon into
becoming Idiots.
Have you ever seen someone juggle a
bean bag chair? Apparently these g'>ys can
do that, too.
Their show has been described as a joke
inside a joke inside a joke that brings about
nothing but hilarity. In addition to madcap
juggling stunts that never miss a beat, the
Idiots' show is filled with acrobatic stunts
and straight jacket escapes. They also eat
balloons and throw bologna while acting as
the characters of Gyro, Pyro and Walter.
People who have seen the Idiots in the
past say a great deal of the fun of their show
is watching the people in the audience
around you. Faces contort in laughter and
amazement. Eyes tear up from giggles as
the Idiots describe what is going on in the
heads of their viewers.
Don't miss thi» original and witty performance of the Flaming Idiots. The event
is free to University students with a valid
ID.

Alpha Mu Gamma celebrates
Y E T AH(D"nHiE{R M^
National Foreign Language Week
by Tori Mello
Eagle Eye Features Editor_
Alpha Mu Gamma, foreign language
honor society, kicked off the 40th
Anniversary National Foreign Language
Week on Monday with an initiation ceremony for its new members.
During the ceremony four full members,
one associate member and an honorary
member. Professor Emeretus Ernest Lundy,
were initiated into the Mu Theta chapter.
Members of Alpha Mu Gamma have to
have takep two advanced foreign language
classes, have to have a 3.5 Q.P.A. in the
classes and a 3.0 overall.
National Foreign Language Week is a
week to celebrate foreign language education. President Eisenhower began the tradition exactly 40 years ago this week and all
presidents to follow have continued the
practice in universities across the country.
This year's theme is "Stepping Stones to
World Understanding" and the University's
chapter has established a number of activities to contribute to world understanding on
the campus level.
On Tuesday eveninjg,-Alpha Mu Gamma

showed the film "Bella Epoque," which is a
Spanish film (with a French title) containing
English subtitles. The film won an Oscar
award for Best Foreign Film a few years
ago.
On Wednesday, the society held an open
discussion on cross cultural communications. The discussion centered on things
that are proper in our culture that are not in
others, and vice versa.
The Haven Activities Council (HAC)
showed the Italian film "II Postino" ("The
Postman"), which was critically acclaimed
as one of the best films of 1995, on
Thursday evening.
Renee Lutz, president of the Mu Theta
chapter of Alpha Mu Gamma, said that the
society chose the week's activities based on
the fact that {hey all like foreign films, and
they based the discussion on this year's
theme.
Lutz says that the week was important to
Alpha Mu Gamma because, "as a group, we
all believe in promoting the study of foreign
languages because we believe that people
should know how to speak more than one
language and understand someone else's
culture."

Once again in the fall 1997 semester, the
Unversity will offer courses designated as
"W.E.," or Writing Emphasis, courses.
Professor Carolyn Perry
of the English Department
and director of the University
Writing Center wants all students to understand what is
involved in a W.E. course.
The program, started my the
University in 1981, fosters
writing skills through course
curriculum.
A W.E. course gives students as opportunity to practice writing outside of the
English classroom. Research
papers may be assigned, but
many other tyjjes of writing
are also emphasized.
Professors include writing instruction in
their lectures to teach students how to write
competently in their chosen professional
field. Perry said, "The faculty believes

strongly that writing is an important skill."
Writing emphasis courses are shown as
W.E. on transcripts and are a benefit in finding employment. Employers value clear
writing and communication skills in their
employees.
Perry hopes that students
will not be afraid to take
Writing emphasis courses.
She reminds us that writing
is a skill that must be practiced and coached. Help is always available through
course instructor3 and
through the Writing Center
to all students who need it.
There are currently nine
departments offering W.E.
courses and the Art.
Department is making plans
to offer writing courses in'
the fall semester. Twentyone Writing Emphasis
courses are scheduled for the Fall 1997
semester with plans to add more W.E. courses in the future.

Ladies and gentlemen start

Spring Sports Preview.

BASEBALL
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Spring is in the air and that air is filled
with the pinging of aluminum bats. Yes,
baseball has returned to LHU and the Bald
Eagle baseball team has their eyes on another run at the PSAC Championship. The
Haven came in second last year, and they are
eyeing a first place finish in the PSAC-West
and a return to Williamsport and the PSAC
Championships.
Head Coach Paul "Smokey" Stover said,
"This is the best team, talent-wise, that I've
had here at LHU. There is no question that
we will be able to compete with anybody."
Stover loosees four starters from last
year's line-up, including two of the top three
hitters from a year ago, but returns a strong
core of players led by Dave Hartlaub and
Erik Steinbacher.
Leon Fitch moves to
shortstop this season and teams up with
Marco Randazzo to form the Haven's double
play combination. Curt Chilson, a transfer
from Division I Richmond, steps in at first
base.
Karl Raffin returns as the number one
starter for the Haven and Scott Bennet,

of 2-1 and a 5.06 ERA in 18 innings pitched.
Third baseman and team captain Melissa
Caldwell was last year's leading hitter on
the team with a .344 average compiling 33
hits on the season. Caldwell was one of just
two returning players to play in all 38 games
last year, the other being her sister, Kristy
Caldwell. A catcher, Kristy helped the
squad out by hitting .286 with 32 hits and
knocking in 20 runs.
Junior Diane Drumheller will start out at
shortstop this year after playing second for
the team last year. Drumheller led the team
with 11 sacrifice hits and also contributed 24
runs.
Newcomers Stacy Warner and Jen
Estright will fill out the rest of the infield
this season for the Lady Eagles.
Warner, a freshman, gets the nod at first
base and was a first-team Progressland player. Estright is a transfer from Bloomsburg
and will be the starting second baseman for
the team this season. In just 12 games last
year, Estright batted .435 with 5 RBI for
Bloomsburg.

Two starters from last year's team will
return to the outfield. Roseann Mogan will
play left field for the squad and is the only
senior on the team. Magan batted .297 with
30 hits and added 20 RBI last year to earn
her first-team All PSAC honors.
The other returner is Laura Koller who
will start in center field after starting 30 of
her 33 games that she played in last year.
Freshman Brittany Sharp will fill the
right field by starting for the Lady Eagles
tiiis year.
Head Coach Kim Lindsey feels she has
the players to make a run for the PSAC
playoffs but said, "California is still the
team to beat. Edinboro and lUP will be
competing for playoff spots and you can
never count out Slippery Rock or Clarion."

Druding KOs cadet as six boxers qualify
12 Eagle Eye

Friday, March 7, 1997

by Chad Forry
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The Bald Eagle boxers showed continued improvement in the last pre-regional
collegiate invitational of the season prior to
the Eastern Collegiate Boxing AssociationNortheast Regional Qualifier.
They are performing especially well in
the lower weight classes. Freshman 125
pounder Fred Druding surprised Army's
veteran, Babs Alaya, executing a beautiful
right uppercut, putting the cadet senior face
down on the canvas in just 59 seconds in the
second round.
A crowd of over 600 was shocked as the
undefeated Druding upped his record to 4-0.
Teammate Eric Elmer, 119, opened the
12-bout card with a methodical 5-0 decision
over Penn State University's Brad Raybold.
Elmer, the 1996 national silver medalist,
survived a rocky opening round and took
command of the bout at the start of the second round before punishing the Nittany
Lion in the third round, earning two standing eight counts. Elmer, considered by
many to be the best counter puncher in the
collegiate ranks, upped his career record to
9-6.
In a major upset, the Bald Eagles'
Shannan Smith, 147, decisioned PSU's vet-

eran. Lew Muccio, 4-1 in a bout that had
more wrestling than boxing.
After a lackluster first round. Smith
moved outside of the stocky and hard
punching Muccio, finding his range with
some solid straight rights and pulled out a
hard earned 4-1 decision. Smith now has a
2-1 record.
LHU's veteran 180 pounder Tony
Penecale, a junior with a 7-9 career record.

gave defending national 172 pound champion Cy Mellet of Navy a very good bout
much to the delight of the Haven fans.
The bout was dead even after two
rounds, but Mellet began using his five inch
height and reach advantage along with a stiff
left jab to win the third round 20-18 on all
five judges score cards.
Although Penecale could not score the
upset, LHU Head Coach, Dr. Ken Cox, and

Freshman Fred Druding, now 4-0, surprised Army's veteran, Babs Alaya,
with a knockout in just 59 seconds in the second round.

his long time assistant. Ken Cooper, were
quick to praise Penecale for his courage and
tenacity against the classy Mellet.
In one of the featured bouts of the
evening. Navy's defending 180 pound
champ Jon Bradley won an unpopular .3-2
split decision over Army's David Adams.
The Bald Eagles have now qualified six
boxers to compete in the regional qualifier
on March 21 and 22 at Penn State. Elmer,
112-119; Druding, 119-125; and David
Fields, 125-132; collectively referred to as
"Murderer's Row," are all ranked first in the
East.
Smith, 139-147; Penecale, 180-190; and
gold-medalist Jason Fletcher, 156-165; have
also qualified. The Bald Eagles will now
increase the intensity of the gym preparation for the 10-team ECBA-Northeast
Regional Qualifier to be held in three
weeks. Elmer, Druding, Fields and Fletcher
currently are favorites to win regional titles
and advance to the final four at Annapolis.
If Penecale can stay healthy, he could
could earn a trip to nationals. Smith is a
darkhorse at 147, but could have a better
opportunity if he could make 139.
Cox commented, "We started back in
September with 40 boxing candidates and
we now have seven student boxers. By
working extremely hard, they have survived
the rigors of collegiate boxing."

Wrestlers head to EWL Tournament .. 5 f ? ^ :
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
It is that lime again. The dual meet season is over and 10 Lock Haven wrestlers are
thinking national championships.
But
before they think too hard about nationals,
they have to qualify this weekend at the
Eastern Wrestling League Tournament
(EWL) in Clarion.
LHU sent eight wrestlers to nationals
last season and finished second at the EWL,
losing by a mere half-point to West Virginia.
Winning the EWLs was a pre-season goal
for the team, along with a PSAC
Championship (which they won in January),
and a top ten finish in nationals. Leading off
the line-up for Lock Haven is Mike Kusick.
Kusick, 118, finished third at nationals last
year and is looking for a strong showing
again. He finished third at the PSAC championships this season.
Terry Showalter, who placed second at
PSAC, is looking to improve on his second
place finish at nationals last year at 126.
The 134 pound entry is sophomore Brent
Conly. He earned second place at PSACs.

At 142 Cary Kolat is one of three returning
EWL champions for the Haven and is on
track to win his second straight national
championship.
Kolat, who won the
Outstanding Wrestler award at EWL's last
year, is undefeated and ranked first in the
country.
Mike Rogers, 150, is looking to add
another gold medal to his growing collection. Rogers, a four time PSAC champion,
is looking for his second straight EWL title
and another trip to nationals, where he
earned All-American status last year and
won the Gorriarian Award for most pins in
the least amount of time. He is ranked fifth
nationally going into this weekend.
Brian Leitzel, ranked 11th nationally,
continues his impressive senior campaign,
looking for an EWL title at 158. He finished
fourth last season and placed second at this
year's PSAC Championships.
Neil Barnes is having a dream season so
far for the Haven at 167. Barnes won his
first PSAC Championship this year, which
lifted the Bald Eagles to their second
straight PSAC team championship. He is
how looking for a trip to nationals and a

repeat of his performance in the PSAC
Championships at this weekend's match.
The third EWL champion returning for
the Haven is Mike Geurin at 177. Geurin,
who is currently ranked sixth, earned AllAmerican status last season with a seventh
place finish and is looking for another trip
to nationals. Geurin won his second straight
PSAC title this season.
Lock Haven's version of Deion Sanders
will be wrestling at 190. But what makes
Kenny Haines feat a little more spectacular
then Deion's is that Haines plays soccer.
Haines is a starter on the PSAC Champion
Lock Haven men's soccer team and one of
two wrestlers that shared time at 190 this
season. Haines, who is a red-shirt freshmen,
is making his first appearance in the EWL's
and is looking for his first trip to nationals.
The last weight class is filled by heavyweight Bill Bell. Bell, who returned this
season after knee surgery, is making his first
appearance in the EWLs after finishing sixth
at the PSAC Championships this season.
The EWLs are being held at Clarion
University tomorrow and Sunday. Action
begins tomorrow at 11 a. m.

The answer to last week's
Sportrivia question was
answered hy Chris McGary of
the LHU football team.
The correct answer was: The
LHU football team last won
the PSAC Championship
during the 1978-79 season.
This Weeks Question...
Before Cary Kolat did it last
year, who was the last LHU
wrestler to win a Division I
National Championship?
