World Wide Web makes finding a good landlord easier
Melissa Larson
The Eagle Eye
Many students who live off-campus know the troubles of finding a
good landlord. One solution lies in
the advice ofother students who have

rented.
The Student Cooperative Council
has put up a new website on the
phoenix server which allows students
to tell the truth about their landlord

The address is
problems.
http://phoenix.lhup.edu/landlordbook.html.
The site allows students to post
good or bad comments about landlords in order to aid their fellow students in the search for off-campus
housing and avoid potential problems
before committing to a lease, which
can be the most crucual part of renting.
"Know the lease; do not sign anything you do not know about," said

Dwayne Allison, Director of Student
Life. If a student has any questions
about a clause in the lease, he or she
should have a lawyer look at it before

signing.
Also, before moving in, students
should make sure to do an assessment
of the property by taking a video of
the condition of the house, all holes
in the wall, bare wires and other damages. After finishing the tape, a copy

should be given to the landlord

Hailing from Philadelphia,
the strong roots of traditional
Rhythm and Blues are immediately evident. The listener is
enraptured by the stirring presence of a gospel influence.
Their riveting up tempo tunes
highlight their jazz-like versatility, and just when you think
you've heard it all, their a cappella renditions leave you
breathless.
Among different appearances they have made, IMANI
has appeared as seven time
StarSearch winners, and finalists and opening spots for marquee acts like Boyz II Men,

TLC, Salt n Peppa, and Bill
Cosby. They also appeared
recently in the Emmy Awards
and were featured in the PBS

documentary American Women

for Thursday's blood drive in

American Red Cross and the
Student Athlete Advising
Committee. The event, which
takes place three times a year,
witnessed a significantly low
donor count as in previous LHU
drives.
Blood Service Coordinator
Merrie Ann Olshefski reported
81 participants, 16 of which
were turned down primarily for
extensive international travel or
iron deficiencies. Almost twenty percent of the drive's participants were first time donors.
Olshefshie credited the poor
donor turnout to the cold weather in the heart of the flu season.
"Students often fear that they
will get sick," said Olshefskie.
Many students credited their
absence to a lack of publicity
surrounding the event. "I wasn't aware of a blood drive," said
senior Justin Beatty.

New service makes research easier for students
Jennifer Armstrong
The Eagle Eye

m^m^m^m^m^m^m^m

An online academic research
service has been launched by

(www.questia.com) targeting
college students by making
books and eventually journals
available for study on the internet.

Close to 50,000 full text
books are offered through this
website,
making
college
research and study a lot easier.
Topics of study range from art
and philosophy to education and
literature. Instead of traveling
to the library, you can conduct
your research anywhere at anytime as long as you have an
internet connection.
The website currently contains books and will soon
include journals, the most common source for liberal arts
majors, selected by professional
librarians. There is simultaneous access no matter how many
students want to use the same
text, without the hassle of
checking out or returning books.
Questia also offers an electronic system of highlighting,
footnotes, margin notes and
hyperlinking from source to
source, all of which is saved to
your personal file area on
Questia automatically as you are
conducting research. You may
also check a calendar for
upcoming forums and participate in live chat sessions of various topics.
Searches are done by either
titles, author or subject, which
takes you to the exact page or
topic you wish to explore.
Questia includes an online the-

Questia has over 30,000

Rabat among great choices to study abroad
Graham Boyle
The Eagle Eye
Professor Jim Bean and Professor Zakir
Hossain took the opportunity to travel to
Rabat, Morocco last May using one of
LHU's exchange program s.
Hossain and Bean's visit to Rabat was
sponsored by Rabat's Institute of Language
Both men had first
hand experience in taking part in class lectures. Bean was impressed by the openness
and hospitality that the Moroccans showed
and was also captivated by the technology
of the country.
"Rabat has everything," Bean said. "Its
people are positive and welcoming. There
is a perfect balance between tradition and

modernization. The food is amazing. There
is just so much to see and do. I think it is the
ideal place for young people study."
Hossain thought the good preperation
and high standard of students was a major
factor in the success of the university.
"There are two main reasons that I
would recommend Rabat for any student to
study," he said. "One is the way that the
people take to international students. They
are treated like royalty and settle into the
lifestyle very quickly. Secondly, the rich
curriculum enables you to choose from a
vast range of courses."
Fatiha Belfakir, here on LHU's exchange
program, said, "I think some people have
reservations about going to another country
because they feel they won't fit in. This
would not be an issue at Rabat because it is

a cosmopolitan city where everyone knows
how to speak English and there is a strong
sense of togetherness between the different

cultures."
Studying abroad can expand a student's
horizons by making one more attractive to
employers; it will give one a better understanding of different ways of life.
Throughout the years, studying abroad
has become increasingly popular. The
Institute for International Studies now has
25 exchange programs in 21 different countries. There is no better time to go as the
Institute for International Studies offers
$500 travel assistance to qualifying students. Students interested in the exchange
program should contact the Institute for
International Studies for more information
and advice.

stores.

A De Anza College student, who San Jose
police said spent two years carefully scripting a
mass killing on the Cupertino, Calif, campus, was
arrested just hours before he allegedly planned to
carry out his plot Tuesday, thanks to a tip from a
alert drug store photo clerk.

sketch of the WWI
campus and a time line for an attack that was supposed to hit the college at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Police also found what they described as an
apologetic audio tape that apparently was meant
to be played after the intended massacre and a
journal with passages that expressed sympathy for
the two Columbine High School students who
shot and killed 12 others before killing themselves
in Littleton, Colo, in 1999.
"This was an elaborate plan for mass murder,"
said San Jose Deputy Chief Michael Miceli.
While police began to piece the plot together
Tuesday, all De Anza classes were canceled and
the 25,000-student campus was evacuated as
bomb squads combed the 65 buildings and 110
acres in a fruitless search of any munitions that
might have been planted there.
That master plan was apparently under way
and thwarted just hours before DeGuzman could
get started. His nemesis turned out to be a stranger
— a Longs drug store photo clerk, whose father is
a police officer.
"She saw photos of guns, pipe bombs and a
guy holding a gun," said Reubens Dalaison, San
Jose Police spokesman.
The woman immediately called her father, an
off-duty police officer. After hearing a quick
description, the officer told his daughter "Hang up
the phone and call 911 now!"
The emergency call came in at 6:02 p.m. and
within minutes a police dispatcher had gotten the
information from the clerk, including
DeGuzman's name taken from a roll of film, and
sent a patrol officer who was already near the
Long's store.
Meanwhile, the clerk who had just gotten off
the phone with police looked up from her counter
and noticed that DeGuzman was in line to retrieve
his photos.
"She knew what to do, she began asking questions," said Dalaison. The stall worked and the
clerk pointed out DeGuzman just as the first officer walked into the store.
When confronted with the photographs,
Dalaison said, DeGuzman admitted they were his
and said they were toys. "It's just sugar in them,"
he told police.
The explanation didn't fly.
DeGuzman would not talk to police and would
not allow them to search the home he shared with
his parents, authorities said.
Police detained DeGuzman and obtained a
search warrant at 11 p.m. for the student's home.
His family did not know about their son's bombmaking, police said.
Fifteen minutes later officers were knocking
on the doors of neighbors on Flickinger Road and
evacuating everyone to a nearby school.
Officers did not immediately go into the
accused room, fearing that bombs might be rigged
to go off.
y. It was about 2:30 a.m. when they finally got
inside and found the bombs — some already
• stashed in a satchel, timing devices, two rifles,
and two sawed-off shotguns with pistol grips.
DeGuzman was booked into the Santa Clara
County Main Jail on suspicion of
the manufacture or possession a
disguised weapon, possession of
•'a destructive device, intent to
make a destructive device without a permit, and possession or
manufacture of an explosive
device.
■The guns were purchased
legally in San Jose at a firearms

Police believe the suspect modified the shotguns himself.

Rodney Foo and Daniel Vasquez

DeGuzman's blueprint for the bombs were
culled off the Internet, said Sgt. Mike Fernandez
of the San Jose police's bomb squad.
The array of bombs were "mind-boggling,"
Miceli said. "You wouldn't think one person
would have all these bombs and all this destruction in one room."
Already faced with a home-made bombdesigner and manufacturer, it was just after 4:30
a.m. when police Finally realized what they were
up against: a bomber who was prepared.
As much as the explosives and guns,
DeGuzman's writings and tape recording he left
for posterity were equally disturbing.
"The tape recording we found was just bonechilling," Miceli said. "In my 30 years of law
enforcement, I can't describe it any other way."
DeGuzman's intricate plans were up-ended by
his own hubris
he had taken photographs of
himself with the bombs and weapons — and by an
18-year-old woman who worked at photo section
counter at a Longs Drug, where DeGuzman had
the pictures developed. The girl was praised for
her bravery by police chief Bill Landsdowne and
Mayor Ron Gonzales.
DcGuzman's decision to take pictures of himself and also leave a tape recording follows a
familiar pattern, Fernandez said.
"It's not
bombers do stuff like
this," Fernandez said. "They want that final glory
or something for memory, for the press, for the
public."
His writings expressed sympathy for the gunwielding students who fatally shot 12 people
before killing themselves at Columbine High
School in Littleton, Colo.
On the pages were carefully plotted plans that
gave instructions and a time line for the attack on
the cafeteria al 1230 p.m. when it would have
been full of students.
"If you know the cafeteria out there at 12,
12:30 p.m., it would have been a lot of people
who would have been killed," Miceli said.
Police are concerned that the plans refer to
"we" and also refers to snipers. And on-going
investigation is trying to determine if others were
also in on the scheme or helped DeGuzman,
although police believe he probably acted alone.
The plans gave instructions for DeGuzman to
leave the house at 4:30 a.m. and head for the suburban college where he would plant bombs at various locations.
By 7 p.m., De Anza College president Martha
Kanter said the search was concluded and nothing
was found. "They've gone through the school and
we're safe." The campus was scheduled to reopen

Beth Grobman Burruss, chairwoman of De

"In my mass communications class, we talk
about the Columbine incident and talk about
whether it could ever happen at De Anza." she
said. "My students generally say they don't think
so because there's such a difference attitude at
high school than at college. And my students
think Columbine happened because all ofthe high
school pressures and cliques."
Given the intricate plans and the arsenal

woman who stopped everything with a phone call.

the University be taking responsibility for this situation by
shoveling and/or salting the

You think that maybe the
conditions on the stairs will be
better. That the maintenance

take care of the hills and sidewalks because they were too
busy taking care of the stairs.

pray that you won't end up flat

head downstairs with just
enough time to get to class.
Then you realize that it has

from yesterday has frozen during the night.
You think to yourself, "No
problem, I'm sure someone salted or shoveled so that I will be
able to get to my class without
any problems."

LHU students have come to
despise these nasty weather conditions even more than usual

Now, you may ask, where is

And what about the students

that commute to the University.
Most of them have to drive in
order to get to campus. The
roads are probably not completely cleared off yet, but they
think that once they get to the
University things will be
cleared.
Think again, cleared parking
lots and sidewalks are not what
the commuters encounter. The
parking lot that they have to park
in is a sheet of ice, and the stairs
that they have to climb and sidewalks they walk on are the same.
Sound familiar? Yeah, I

thought so.
It's amazing to me how
many students will complain to
their friends about how dangerous the conditions are and how
they can't believe the University
isn't doing anything about it, but
yet, none of us ever actually
complain to the University.
I can understand that it may
be difficult to get the maintenance staff out in the bitter cold
early in the morning to shovel
off or salt the stairs so that students will have a safe trip to
their classes. But, I still feel that
it is the University's responsibility to ensure that its students will
get to class without hurting or

endangering themselves.
Even though I have yet to
fall down the stairs, or slip and
fall down the hill, I've had quite
a few close calls. Along wkh

class.
I don't think that we should
be forced to choose between
falling down the stairs or skipping class.
The University needs to
either learn how to properly take
care of the icy stairs and slippery
sidewalks, or they need to delay
or cancel classes when the conditions outside are bad.

US society & drug addiction
The proposal to ease New
Jfork's Rockefeller drug laws is
a positive step towards the
release of many prisoners convicted of non-violent drug
offenses, but whom are addicts
themselves. Whilst the law
makes these moves, the bigger
problem is how society views
drug addiction, opinions that
inevitably get back to the legislators. The popular misconception is that drug addicts are criminals. Technically this may be
so, but it is time that people recognize that it is an illness, the

•

same as any other addiction.
i There is a stigma attached to
drug addiction that causes people to perceive it differently to
•say, nicotine addiction, a socially more acceptable drug addiction.
So to whom do I refer? The
'Religious Right' has for years
rallied against drugs. They are
right to pursue a drug-freeAmerica but need to recognize
that once an individual becomes

addicted they need help not
"prison. They view addiction as
personal weakness in accordance with their religious

beliefs. That is their view and the bucket-load. It represents
they are entitled to it. But when success and the sense of being
they decide that we must all live untouchable.
Heroin is, for the most part,
by their standards and values,
they show an intolerance that is portrayed with a more gritty
realism (see Irvine Welsh's
unacceptable in these times.
They favor prison over reha'Trainspotting' for instance).
bilitation citing cost, though Access is achieved more
surely six months rehab is
cheaper than six years imprisonment. And isn't Christianity all
about forgiveness?
On the subject of cost, there
are a great many of people in jail
who could by now have been
rehabilitated at a fraction of the
sum it will cost to keep them
locked up. This needs to be
addressed particularly in light of
complaints concerning overcrowding in prisons.
The public's perception of a
Jon Ryan
drug addict is largely taken from
the images mass culture pro-

Eagle Eye Columnist

vides us with. Cocaine is often
portrayed as fast and sexy, available to those with the cash to
burn. It is the drug of choice for
the rich and successful. Almost
any film ('Ghandi' perhaps
being an exception) in which the
lead character achieves instant
success will feature cocaine by

through crime than wealth.
In both instances the addict
rarely succeeds, and ultimately
the fact that addiction is a serious physical and mental problem that requires help is pushed
aside, and images of crime and
gross excess remain.
The protagonists in these

works more often than not come
from either the upper or lower
classes, and it is therefore unsurprising to see most of the cries
for punishment coming from the
middle class as the statistics
show that in real life, as well as
in film, they are the least affected by addiction to illicit drugs.
They therefore have little idea of
the devastation it can cause and
the lack of compassion or empathy will make matters worse
before they get better, as many
of the reasons for drug abuse
leading to addiction are social.
For some, it represents an
escape from the environment in
which they find themselves. A
sense of isolation can be alleviated by a fix. For others, peer
pressure can be found to be the
root of the problem. Falling in
with the wrong crowd can lead
to situations in which an individual can feel obliged to comply.
Again, feelings of loneliness and
anxiety can fuel this desire to 'fit
in'. Perhaps the most dangerous
cause of drug abuse, particularly
in our generation is nihilism.
Bret Easton Ellis' 'Less Than
Zero' brilliantly captured this in

the eighties, portraying a bunch
ofrich kids high on drugs, but
low on life. Fifteen years on this
vision still rings true as a social
malaise sets over our generation.
In an ideal world, there
would be no drug addiction. But
there is and we have to deal with

it, regardless of how it came
about. It is, after all, in societies
interest to reform and rehabilitate addicts.
Celebrities are not exempt
from society's inconsistencies
where addiction is concerned.
Karen Carpenter elicited much
sympathy for her dreadful battle
with anorexia, but Kurt Cobain'
heroin habit received only scorn
in the newspaper columns. Both
had personal problems contributing to their condition but
one was worried about, the other

rejected by everyone but his
fans. Prevention is better than
the cure but we must provide
support for everyone regardless
of their circumstances.
Organizations like Narcotics
Anonymous are in place to help,
but perhaps the best prevention
and cure can come from a more
understanding public. Lets

acknowledge a problem before it
becomes an addiction. Or, failing that, offer support rather
than condemnation.
Drugs are always going to be
available and this too needs to be
acknowledged. Moves to legalize marijuana should not be
blocked as the government
could regulate it and also gather
considerable revenue from it
through taxation. Until more is
known about the rest, they
should remain illegal. But with
crime rates in most parts of the
country falling, other Governors
may choose to follow New York
Governor George Pataki in easing drug laws that have accounted for 25% of America's two
million prisoners being inside.
As James McKinley Jr. wrote in
the New York Times "people
and the politicians they elect are
more willing to put up with
severe penalties for relatively
minor drug offenses when crime
rates are high," and it could now

be the time to reform drug laws
and the way the country views

the people charged with them.

In thinking about this article,
I took a look at the days in which
the university does give us a day
off. First, we have the fall holiday, which always falls on the
weekend of Columbus Day.
Christopher Columbus was definitely a man of questionable
morals, just ask the native people of the lands on which he
arrived.
Of course, the
University's response is that it is
a fall holiday and does not celebrate Columbus Day. However,
it just happens to be the same
weekend every year.

holiday, which takes place the
same weekend as Easter, which
we all know, is a Christian holiday. Again, the official response
is that this is not a celebration of

Easter, but a spring holiday for

the students. I find that odd
when we already get a spring
vacation for a week. I do not
find these holidays objectionable, but actually enjoyed having them all five of my years
here. However, it is evident that
the University can be selective
when deciding to have vacation
days. I also thought that maybe
it was a result ofthe University's
belonging to the State System of
Higher Education that they
could not do anything about
their schedule. However, I
know for a fact that Bloomsburg

sions of our changing society
and are provided with opportunities to acquire, clarify, and

begin classes until January
16 and they observe the holiday.
What is the point? I would
challenge the University to think
about changing their policy or
provide the students with an
explanation. I have not contacted the
due to being a student teacher,
which makes it difficult to reach
them during the day. They may
have a perfect explanation which
I have been unable to figure out.
However, I do think the
University needs to live up to its
own mission statement and I
quote, "Students experience inc
multicultural and global dimen
not

demonstrate those skills and values that are necessary for active
participation in a democracy."
This university says it provides a
multicultural experience, but
how sincere is it when it's a
week late. If you send a birthday
card a week late, does it mean as
much if it had arrived on the day
ofthe person's birthday? Maybe
I could be wrong and it's the
thought that counts.

U of M admissions policy fair?
TMS Campus
5 A federal district court judge
ha Detroit last month approved
tfie University of Michigan's
admissions policy, which, to
achieve diversity, grants explicit
preferences to applicants from
specified racial and ethnic
groups. Judge Patrick Duggan's
niling regarding public universities seems to counter a 1996
appeals court judgment, in the
Hopwood case, that the racebased admissions preferences
aimed at achieving diversity at
the University of Texas law
school were unconstitutional.
The U.S. Supreme Court probably will have to resolve the matter.
A 23-year-old white woman,
Jennifer Gratz, on applying for
admission, was denied entrance
in 1995 into what is generally
considered the university's flagship campus, in Ann Arbor. (She
subsequently attended the less
campus
prestigious
in
Dearborn.) She appealed her
rejection from Ann Arbor on the
basis that the state was denying
her the equal protection of the
laws required by the 14th
Amendment of the
U.S.
Constitution.
Candidates are rated on a
150-point scale. While mainly
judged on their academic background, like all others, appli-

|f your ad

from what are considered
"underrepresented minorities"
specifically blacks, Hispanics
and American Indians are automatically given 20 bonus points
on account of their racial/ethnic
origins.
By the way, this intentionally leaves out Asian-American
applicants, even though they are
an obvious racial minority.
Evidently, sufficient numbers of
them whatever that means qualify for admission without needing bonus points for their racial
origins.
Applicants can also receive
bonus points for a variety of
other factors: e.g., those from
poor families, 20 points; recruited athletes, 20 points; Michigan
residents, 10 points; children of
alumni, 4 points; those with special personal achievements, 3
points.
However, these factors are
not based on racial or ethnic
background. A recruited athlete,
say, gets the extra 20 points
regardless of race or ethnicity
although, obviously, recruits for
the basketball team are more
likely to be black than white,
and vice versa for hockey
recruits. As a result, the only
aspect of the bonus system challenged on constitutional grounds
was its explicit use of racial and
ethnic categories to grant or
withhold extra points.
cants

In upholding the University
of Michigan's admissions system, Judge Duggan emphasized
what he considered the decisive
benefits, for all concerned, of a
racially and ethnically diverse
student body. We believe that
such purported benefits are real,
although vastly exaggerated.
And we believe that diversity
can be measured in many ways,
perhaps most importantly by
diversity of ideas and interests,
rather than confining it, in a
rather condescending way, to
skin color and/or ethnic affiliation.
The question is not so much
the state's allegedly "compelling
interest" in promoting diversity
at Ann Arbor but its constitutional duty to grant applicants
such as, in this case, Jennifer
Gratz the equal protection of the

down to this: giving some applian automatic 20-point

simply because they have the
favored racial or ethnic characteristics, and thereby forcing the
rejection of some other applicants whites and Asians because
they don't come from favored
racial or ethnic groups. That
does not sound to us like equal
protection of the laws.

Did you hear that Wal-Mart at

If you haven't, Mark Reedy
could explain it all to you. A
spontaneous comedian. Reedy,
or "Mr. Positive" as he calls

himself, performed at Jazzman's
Cafe on Tuesday night, explaining the joys of getting a slinky
for Christmas ("It's just a coil in

leaning aside, girl - it's my
tire!"), McDonald's fries and
even Lock Haven's nightlife
("Last night I went to the night

His impression on LHU was

Most of us, unless you live a

If it was not for Grant, we

"Tiger who?" Today, people all

The initial model was made
from a combination of rubber
and wood. A small wooden peg

The marvelous golf tool not

What would Tiger do without this helpful invention?

"(Combs) is not entitled to

Born in Harlem and raised in
a Long Island suburb, the flamboyant Combs, who oversees a
multimillion-dollar music and

was shot in the right shoulder

physical injuries.
Natanya Reubens, 30, and

The trial of the three men is

I take time out of each day to objectively observe the world
around me. Instead oflooking for friends, I try to look for ways to
make the world better for all of us.
If everyone did that, life would wake you up with a kiss every
morning, lend you a hand when you are in need and make you
laugh when all you want to do is cry.
I will be writing articles this semester about my travels and
experiences in the wilderness surrounding Lock Haven.
My passion for the last several years has been mountain biking. In my seven semesters here I have riden more than 5,000
miles on the local roads and trails. I have lots of experiences to
share with my fellow students.

Don't let the beauty in life pass you by. We study in the middle
of a wooded paridise. Central PA has so many lavish treasures that
are waiting to be explored by new souls.
If you look at the mountains that the sun rises over to the east,
you can see a field ofrocks thrown on their side. And if you go
there, you'll find some rocks as big as trucks and others as small
as basketballs. Imagine what our little campus looks like from up
there.
"The Bunny", as it is nicknamed, has always been there, and
we have probably always seen it. But I sometimes wonder how
many of us see the beauty in it. How many of us look around to
see the gifts in our world?
People living in New York City would kill to have our trees
and mountains. It really bothers me when people take nature for
granted. It kills me to see trash thrown on our mother like it
belongs there to give some garbage collector a job.
We should all be mother nature's maintainence men. We are
all very fortunate to be residents of the Lock Haven community.
I firmly believe we are all reflections ofthe world around us.
Surround yourself with books, and you will become knoweledge
able. Surround yourself with sex, and you will become sexual.
Surround yourself with TV, and you will become a vegetable with
a sore ass. Surround yourself with nature, and you will become
beautiful.
We are all blessed with the ability to structure our world the
way we want it. Break the routine of this sometimes grey, lifeless
American society and paint your world a tye-dyed splendor.
Kill the influence of your peers because they are only there for
four years. Be what your heart tells you to be and don't let others
get in your way.
I know I have a lot of opinions. Something I don't have much
of is friends, and the reason I don't is probably because I have a
lot of opinions. It's funny because the more friends I don't have,
the more time I have to form more opinions (It looks like I'm in
trouble).

" I really enjoy working with

difficult to believe that I am in

look up to me."
After graduation, Chichilitti
hopes to teach and pursue his

Chichilitti has also been

Chichilitti likes to have fun,

1600-meterrelays.
"If we are all healthy, there's

It was a homecoming of
sons for LHU 149-pounder
JaMarr Billman, who wrestled
for Penn State and was ranked
first in the nation when he left
two years ago. Billman, ranked
ninth nationally, brought a 12-1
record into a place he was very
familiar with and wrestled the
second match of the night.
Billman made the night quick as
he stuck Nate Wachter in 4:17 to
give the Bald Eagles a 9-0 lead
at that point.
"1 asked him how he was
treated and he said it was fine,"
said Poff. "JaMarr is a first-class
person on and off the mat and he
acted that way. The Penn State
fans were great to him as well."
Lock Haven came in fresh
off their win at the PSAC
Championships. In head-tohead action, Penn State owned
this series, holding a 23-2
advantage. Last year, in front of
a packed house at Thomas Field
House, Penn State slipped out
with a 21-18 win. The last time
the Haven won was in 1996,
when they took a 22-9 decision.
"It's always special to wrestle Penn State," said Poff. "I
appreciate that they wrestle us
every season. It was a great
crowd, almost 3,000 people."

With the aftermath of the firing of former men's basketball
coach Bobby Knight still lingering four months later, Indiana
University President Myles
Brand addressed an audience of
journalists and students about
the dangerous effects college
athletics are having on academics.
Speaking at the National
Press Club in Washington, D.C.,
Brand voiced concern about
schools that are losing their academic identity due to more visible and more profitable athletic
programs. According to the
president, major universities
such as Indiana are increasingly
being seen as a sports program
with an institution of higher
learning tacked on, rather than
the other way around.

where new knowledge can be

makes life richer, more rewarding, and more livable," Brand
said. "But often, the public at

en route to winning the

Pennsylvania
Athletic Conference championship this past weekend
at Clarion. The Haven
racked up 153.5 points,
easily outdistancing threetime defending champion
Edinboro, who finished

with 126.
The big statistic of the
day was that Lock Haven
wrestlers only lost a total
of five matches on the day.
Another note would be that
going into the final round,
Edinboro trailed Lock
Haven by just 11 points
and had seven in the finals,
compared to LHU's five.
"To have the tournament come down to the
final round and for us to go
10-for-10 in our matches is
unbelievable," said Head
Coach Carl Poff. "I have
never experienced that as a
coach. It was a total team
effort. Everyone
contributed."
It started quick for
LHU, as the first four
championship matches featured

said and done, they had

and for him individually."

bouts.
Jason Gilligan
(157), Brian Olenek (165),
Ed Pawlak (174) and Craig
Tefft (HWT) had all won
their consolation matches
to help the squad to the
overall championship.
"I talked to the team
prior to the final round,"
Poff said. "I told them not
to worry about Edinboro.
Worry about individual
matches and the team title

will take care of itself."
An interesting situation
occurred with junior Josh
Millard at 184. Millard was
set to square off against his
brother, freshman Justin

Millard of Edinboro in the
consolation match, but they
opted to double forfeit,
thus giving them a tie. The
Millard's were on opposite
ends of the bracket and as
luck would have it the two
made it to the consolation
bout against one another.
Josh had been seeded third,
while Justin was fourth.

Members of the PSAC champion wrestling team. There were
5 first place finishers for the Bald Eagles, who won the team title
in the PSAC tournament at Clarion on Saturday.
It's something you have to

have inside of you."
Coach Poff had gotten
used to the coaches seat on
the mat by now and was
ready to watch his squad
win another title. Billman
made that happen as he
took the 149-pound title in
his first PSAC tournament.
Billman opened by pinning
Millersville's Ivan Hardnett
in 2:23. He then scored a
25-10 technical fall victory
over Slippery Rock's Erick
Eythe in 7:00. In the semifinals,
he
beat
Bloomsburg's
George
Carter, the tournament's
second seed, 5-4. In the
finals, Billman squared off
against top-seeded Ryan
Shopert of Edinboro, and
picked up the 9-8 win.
"He probably had the
toughest weight class. He
had to get through two
nationally ranked people,"
said Poff. "He has had
some high-level matches
over the last week. He only

competed twice in the last
year. These high level
matches help speed up his
transition."
The Haven's final
championship came at 197,
where Avery Zerkle picked
up his first title. Zerkle
placed fourth in 2000. He
opened up the tournament
with a 13-5 win over
Kutztown's Clarence Ezell.
Zerkle
then
beat
Millersville's Greg Eynon
to advance to the finals,
where he beat top-seeded
David Shaunamon, of
Edinboro, 5-4 in overtime.
"He really took the
match to (Shaunamon).
Avery was the aggressor,"
said Poff. "It went into
overtime and he was again
the aggressor. That was a
huge win for him."
Lock Haven, which
won three PSAC titles in
the 90's, hadn't won a team
title since 1997, the year
before Edinboro started
their reign. This is their

19th Conference championship.
"It's been a storybook
year for us so far," said

Poff. "There have been
some huge accomplishments. Everyone is contributing. We have great
balance. This team does a
lot of good things, both on
and off the mat."

The men's indoor track season is underway,
Jonathan Chichilitti is picking up where he left o»
last year. The senior from Levittown is the school
indoor record holder in the 60 meter-dash, and holds
the indoor and outdoor record in the 200 meters. In
his LHU career, Chichilitti has many accomplishments. In the 2000 season, he won the coaches
award, earned three-time all-ECAC and PSAC in
track and field, and he was named the ECAC athlete
of the week in April. In the 1999 season, he also
claimed ECAC and PSAC trackand field honors, as
well as being the PSAC 100 meter champion and a
member of the 1600-meter relay champions. He
was also named the 1999 track and field
sprinter/hurdler award winner.
Chichilitti came to LHU from Neshaminy High
School, where teammate and housemate Matt Sauls
also attended.
"There have been three inspirational people in
my track and field career. My parents, and my teammate and housemate Matt Sauls," said Chichilitti.
"We went to high school together, and we've both
been very successful. His success has rubbed off on
meLast year he was hurt. Now that he isback, there
is no doubt that we can win the PSAC tide."
Chichilitti also credits his parents greatly.
"There's no way I could have achieved the success
I have without my parents," he said. "Not just in
track and field, but in education and everything. 1
couldn't have asked for two better parents."

With five seconds
remaining in the game,
Rico Abbondanza dribbled
the ball down the sideline
and Shippensburg Head
Coach Rodger Goodling
reached out with his hand
and attempted to hit the
ball. Abbondanza then
regained control of the ball
and attempted a threepointer as time expired.
"I have to assume they
didn't see it," said Head
Coach John Wilson Jr. "If
they saw it, they would
have made the call."
The Haven was trailing
40-27 at halftime but just
fell short off a Rico
Abbondanza three pointer
as time ran out. Ship's
Ron Bank made the score
74-71, with 57 seconds
left, after hitting one of two
free throws, but Kris
Holtzer would respond
with a lay up with 40 seconds left, but that would be
the final points scored of
the contest.
Abbondanza did lead
all players with 24 points
and ripped down 10 boards

for the double double.
Cedric Hameed collected
21, Kevin DeVan had 15
and Holtzer finished with
11 points.
Ship's Brian Anderson
had 14 points, only scoring
two in the second half.
Aleksandar Pavlovic added
13.
The Haven went on a
17-7 run in the second half
to stage a comeback with
13:15 left, trailing 50-37.
Abbondanza scored eight
during this stretch to help
make the score 57-54 with
7:42 remaining. Ship did
respond and pushed ahead
to 66-56 at the 5:21 mark,
but the Bald Eagles would
cut the lead to 74-71 with
1:18 left to play on an
Abbondanza three ball.
"Our goal still is to win
the division," Wilson said.
"We cant dwell on things
we don't have control on."
LHU drops to 9-10
overall and 2-3 in PSAC
