Crash ends in North Hall laundry room
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Sports Editor_
The laundry room wall of North Hall
was crashed into Wednesday afternoon as
the finale of an exciting three-car demolition that began on the top of Glen Road by
McEntire Hall, where a 1995 Mazda pickup truck started its backward descent at
approximately 2:57 p.m.
According to Law Enforcement Officer
Jeffrey Johnson, the truck was stopped at
the top of the hill and the driver, Steve
Hyjurick, got out and went into McEntire
Hall. "When he came out, it was gone,"
Johnson said.
Pat Mercer, a student who witnessed the
incident, was standing in front of North
Hall when it took place. He explained that
he heard the whining of an engine. When
Mercer turned around, he saw a green truck
coming down the Glen Road hill at approximately 30 mph. It then hopped the side
walk in front of North Hall, crashed
through a railing and tore through a parked
1994 Volkswagen Jetta owned by North
Hall resident Heather Heimbaugh.
The Jetta was pushed into a 1985
Toyota Quad-Runner which continued into

the laundry room wall of North Hall.
Nobody was in any of the cars and no
one was injured in the accident. The
Mazda, Toyota and North Hall wall all sustained minimal damage, however the Jetta
was totalled and cannot be repaired.
Hyjurick reported on the scene that he
parked the car, put it in first gear and
applied the emergency brake. According to
Johnson's report, the emergency brake was
not on when he looked inside the car.
Mercer, the closest to the accident, was
shocked when it occurred. His first reaction to watching the truck roll down the hill
was, "Wow, those guys are backing up
awfully fast."
Heimbaugh, who received the Jetta only
two months ago as a birthday present from
her father, was brought out of class by her
roommate Fran Kirchner, who then brought
Heimbaugh onto the scene at 3:10 p.m.
"I was devastated," exclaimed
Heimbaugh. "I just kept thinking, 'It's not
my car!'" Heimbaugh continued to ask,
"Who did this?"
Hyjurick replied, "I'm sorry, I didn't try
it." He was also upset because his Mazda
was brand new as well.
Law Enforcement reported that this is

This tiny 1994 Jetta was no match for the descending 1995 Mazda pickup that collided with the Jetta on Wednesday.

not the first time a vehicle has rolled uncontrollably down the hill. In fact, one time a
Law Enforcement vehicle slid down.
Mercer pointed out that it was a good
thing the cars stopped the descent of the
truck because it would have continued on to
the gas lines just beyond the Toyota, which

could have caused a major explosion and
turn a relatively small incident into a disastrous one.
Heimbaugh has settled down since
Wednesday and is appreciative of the support that her fellow residents showed.

Reeser said, "The job is a new challenge
for me." He wants to keep enrollment at a
high rate on the main campus and increase
the population at the Clearfield campus. He
also wants to expand the alumni recruitment program to recruite more students
from out of state.
He brings a lot of experience with him
to meet this challenge. Reeser has maintained contacts with school districts around
the state and in the last two years spearheaded the alumni admissions program that
operated in Maryland, New Jersey, New
York and Ohio.
"With his background in admissions,
coupled with his alumni and school district
contacts around the state, Jim Reeser is an

excellent candidate for leading the
University's recruitment efforts," said
University President, Dr. Craig Dean
Willis. Willis continued, "He has consistently been supportive of the University and
has demonstrated strong interpersonal skills
that will lead our admissions staff and
recruiting process."
Reeser holds a B.S. degree from the
University and an M.S. from Bucknell
University and worked as a teacher in the
Selinsgrove School District for a number of
years. Jerry Updegraff, vice president of
University relations, said, "Jim Reeser is an
alumnus and a life long supporter (-f the
University. His dedication to the institution, coupled with his background in
recruiting, will strengthen the University's
admissions efforts."

body in his position as SCC president.
Patton was also present at the meeting.

SLIPPERY ROCK - This spring, Comet
Hale-Bopp will be making its first appearance through the solar system in more
than 4,000 years. Slippery Rock student
Nick Campitelli has spent the last month
tracking the comet's movement through
the night sky.
The comet, first discovered by
astronomers Alan Hale and Tom Bopp in
July 1995, appears as a bluish fuzzball to
the naked eye between 4 a.m. and 6:30
a.m. It can be seen in the northeastern sky,
approximately 45 degrees above the horizon.
On March 22, the comet made its clos|est approach to Earth and now races
Itowards the sun. Astronomers expect that
Ithe tail will reach anywhere from 10 to 20
degrees across the sky as it approaches the
sun.
Campitelli, who is graduating in May,
first became interested in Comet HaleBopp last Spring, when Comet
Hyukatake's appearance was billed as the
^ "Comet of the Century."
f "Photographing comets is just a hobby
I picked up," Campitelli said, adding that
he also likes "to shoot eclipses, moon and

Professor of Biology, Ted Nuttall, has
been awarded $7,999 by the State System
of Higher Education (SSHE) for use in a
state-wide summer science project to survey Pennsylvania's crayfish population.
The project is estimated to involve 600
high school students and 24 biology teachers from grades seven through 11 in
regional Pennsylvania high schools.
The project is the first of its kind in 90
years.
There are 154 teachers across
Pennsylvania that have already contacted
Nuttall and expressed interest in participating in his project.
The project will begin at the University
with a training session for the biology
teachers at the beginning of the summer.
The teachers will then return to their high
schools with a collection of equipment and

knowledge to organize their classes and
begin the project in their respected areas of
the state.
The students will have the opportunity
to have hands-on experience as they collect various samples in their area's streams
and rivers.
Nuttall hopes that the project will initiate a greater involvement in science among
Pennsylvania's rural student population
and give the high school students a chance
to be involved in a college level science
project.
The students involved in the project
will be presented with a certificate of participation which will automatically qualify
them to apply for a scholarship to be used
toward tuition at the University for a bachelor of science degree. This scholarship
will be funded by t-shirt sales promoting
and celebrating involvement in the project
and contributions from various industries
in the state.

SSHE makes appropriations
request to Ridge
CLARION - Each year, the State System
of Higher Education (SSHE), makes a
state appropriations request to Governor
Ridge and the state legislature. The
request is reviewed and evaluated as to the
amount of money that is available in the
state's fiscal year spending plan.
This year, in order to provide a higher
quality of education, SSHE has requested
a state appropriation of $416.4 million, an
increase of $19.5 million, or 4.9 percent,
over the 1997-98 fiscal year.
The Board of Governors projects the
total fiscal year 1997-98 educational and
general budget to be $867.2 million, to be
shared by the SSHE system, the
Cominonwealth and the students. The
projected budget will also include $7.5
million for compliance with Disabilities
Act and Clean Air Act and normal increases in operating costs.

"Don't Blame Me, I Didn't Park Your Car"
Dear Editor:
In the March 21 edition of the Eagle
Eye, I read a disturbing article about the
Law Enforcement officers at Lock Haven
University. The opinions in this article
were that of dissatisfaction with the officers
and with the parking policies on campus. I
am writing this letter in rebuttal to that letter.
I would first like to say that if there
were no parking policies and students had
free reign to park where they wanted, the
campus would be in utter chaos. Due to the
limited parking here at LHU, students
would be parking each other in, stealing
spots and many more problems if there
were not officers to enforce the policy.
Secondly, as a student myself, with a
car on campus, I have not had a problem
with the officers or with parking citations.

Dear Editor:
It was 5:30 p.m., 1 had just returned
home from an eleven hour day. Like every
other day, I let my dogs out and sat down to
read my mail. Five minutes later, with an
incredible emptiness, and tears in my eyes,
I sat down to type this letter. I had received
bad news. Coach Scarfo had been asked to
resign as head women's basketball coach at
Lock Haven University.
My name is Natalie White. I am originally from Williamsport, where I played
high school varsity basketball under Coach
Scarfo for three years. I then played
Division I basketball at St. Bonaventure
University and went on to the College of
William and Mary to get my masters
degree. I am now a special education
teacher and basketball coach at a suburban

high school in Richmond, Va. I
contribute 99 percent of my success to Frank Scarfo.
In 1985, in the locker room
after losing in the state eastern
finals, Scarfo said to our team,
"Someday you will understand
what it was all about." He was
right. It wasn't just about losing
the game that we should have
won. It was about a way of life.
Scarfo yelled loudly and
expected much. Scarfo demanded
hustle and insisted on respect.
Scarfo pushed us to our limit, and
didn't let us accept mediocrity.
Scarfo found our weak p)oints and
dared us to make them strong. He
asked us to dive into bleachers

and run through walls. He did these
things because he knew he had
knowledge to teach us the game,
our team had the talent to play the
game, but the best teams don't
always win, and he needed us to
have the intangibles.
Because of Scarfo, we always beat
teams with less talent, and we usually beat the teams with more talent. We learned commitment,
teamwork and dedication. We
learned that passion and spirit produce unyielding energy. We
learned that the fundament^.s are
the foundation and preparation the
cornerstone. We learned never to
say die and that hustle could overcome any obstacle. The lessons
Scarfo gave will never leave us.
They are in us now.
I am fortunate. I have a career that
enables me to pass these lessons on to many
young people. All my players know the
name Frank Scarfo, though they have never
seen his face or heard his voice. They run
his drills; they know his words; they learn
his lessons. They overcome obstacles and
they win games.
In a day and age where kids are given
much and truly earn very little; where kids
think everyone owes them something and
complacency is the norm; where respect,
commitment and dedication are lost behind
an undeserved silver lining, Frank Scarfo
should be a welcome sight. I doubt another like him will pass their way again.
Natalie White

Congratulations Larry,

Concert problems
still plentiful
by Tom Merolla
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Scott Helfrich, Havens Activities
Council (HAC) chair of the Club,
Entertainment and Concert Committee, said
lack of funding by the Student Cooperative
Council (SCC), which allows him a budget
of only $15,000, has made it impossible to
bring a well-known act to the University.
Sister Machine Gun, who appears on the
Mortal Kombat soundtrack, has been scheduled to perform at the University on April
30, along with opening act Drain, in the
annual spring concert.
Rumored acts such as Adam Sandler,
Jewel or Rusted Root were either unavailable or charged $50,000 and up, which is
well beyond the concert committee's budget; according to Helfrich, the University's
entertainment budget is substantially lower
than those of schools of comparable size,
such as Bloomsburg University or
Lycoming College. Helfrich said he fought
every step of the way to bring an act that
would stimulate student interest, but met
opposition from several higher ranking campus officials.
Other expenses, such as production
costs, advertising and accommodations for
the artists, add up to almost $15,000.
According to Helfrich, the SCC will not
agree to book an act unless they are guaranteed to make their money back through tick-

for ihe week of April

et sales. He said that the SCC does not realize that a bigger name would not only enable
them to charge more money for tickets, but
would result in a larger turnout.
One argument the SCC uses is the fact
that Thomas Field House has a small capacity. Helfrich has tried to move around this
obstacle by talking to Sharon Taylor,
University athletic director, about using one
of the outdoor sports facilities, such as Jack
Stadium, which can accommodate a larger
audience. She refused on.the basis that the
turf would be damaged. The athletic department also refused use of the softball field
because a high school sporting event was
scheduled to follow the tentative date of the
concert.
Some students are extremely frustrated
by the issue of concerts (or the lack thereof)
on this campus. As for this year's line-up,
most have never heard of them. One student
said, "This is my fourth year here and there
hasn't been one good concert. They brought
in a second-rate band like Collective Soul
and had the nerve to be mad that students
weren't interested. What are they going to
do next — bring the Badlees back?"
Helfrich wants students to voice their
opinions on this issue. He said, "If the SCC
truly wanted this campus to have something
big, they could make it happen. Larry Flint
[SCC president] should be confronted on
this issue. They just increased the activity
fee $14, but my budget stayed the same."

Don't forget to Spring Ahead —

Columnist spoofs practical applications of Web
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Sports Editor
The following e-mail was intercepted
just moments after the unfortunate demise
of the Higher Source cult:
To: Mr. Herff Applewhite,
President of Higher Source Web
Designers.
From: Hal Bopp, President of
Celestial Skies Airlines, (CSA).
Regarding: Our request for you to
design a web page for us.
Date: Friday, March 21, 1997.
Mr. Applewhite, it has been a
week since we last discussed the
creation of the Celestial Skies web
site. We at CSA are jumping out of|
our bodies in anticipation to see the
page. We chose your company
because of its dedicated staff of 39
technicians. It is our belief here
that your crew has what it takes to
go from here to beyond.
The Internet is the future of this
company, and I think that our paths
have crossed for a special reason. I hope
you will accept the case of vodka that I sent
you as a sign of our esteemed gratitude for

your service. My associates believe you and
your staff deserve a vacation for all your
hard work. My personal jet, the Bopp
Comet, will be coming to pick you and your
staff up tomorrow.
Your destination is a surprise, but

some quarters to pay for dinner when you
reach your destination. They will not need
much luggage but they should pack neatly
so there is no confusion. I do not want them
to see where they are going, so please cover
their heads wih shrouds.

believe me, you will never want to go back
to your Rancho Santa Fe mansion. Tell your
members that they will need five dollars and

One activity on the trip requires them to
hide, so they should dress themselves in
black as well. We at CSA are a conservative

their hair short, I would greatly appreciate it.
As our jet flies over the planet eath, you
will want to slip out of your rugged body
and get prepared to enter a new "Celestial"

hope my jet will fit all of you. It
may be better to let us take you in

I hof)e you are able to convince your people to come along.
Tell them that this trip will fulfill
their desire to travel beyond the

My-three students performed at last Thursday's Coffeehouse
by Amanda Gutshall
Eagle Eye Editor in Chief_
Approximately 23 students performed
music, comic relief and read poetry at last
week's Open Mic Coffeehouse, which
boasted an audience size of more than 200

feel. Expression is the key to bringing out
the best in yourself and other people," stated
Smith.
Next, was another pwem entitled, "I'm
Sorry, " read and written by Holly Sutliff.
Because of the explicit language she was not
sure whether to read her poem. "I was real-

University Students
Christopher Adams
and Scott Wenning
performed at last
week's Coffeehouse,
playing songs by
such artists as Pink
Floyd, Neil Young,
Bob Dylan and
Cream in front of
over 200 audience
members.

"Spanish Caravan," Eric Clapton's "Tears In
Heaven, " "Submergence," written by himself, "Midnight Rider," by the Allman
Brothers Band and "Fearless," by Pink
Floyd.
He was then joined by Christopher
Adams and together they performed,
"Knockin' on Heaven's Door," by Bob
Dylan, "Badge," by Cream, Neil Young's
"Cowgirl in the Sand," "Wish You Were
Here," by Pink Floyd and "Down By the
River," by Neil Young.
One of the organizers of the
Coffeehouse, Victoria Zaitz read three of her
poems entitled, "How 1 Will Remember
Your Hands," "Gag" and "X-Ray Mirror."
She said, "I was pleasantly surprised by
the turnout. I think it can be an important
fixture at this University. It gives art a
voice."
Ken Fluck read his poem titled, "Forever
Night (Eternal Nosferatu)" and talked to the
audience about psychedelic story understanding in which he talked about going to a
higher level in your mind without the use of
drugs.

people.
The event, sponsored by Student
Cooperative council (SCC) and Haven
Activities Council (HAC), ran for three
hours much to the delight of the organizers.
The first act was by "Shaman" Eric
Smith. He read his poems entitled, "Love
and Hate," accompanied by Luke Lorenz on
piano, "Friends" and "So Hard Yet Easy."
He
also
sang
Nat
King
Cole's
"Unforgettable" without accompaniment.
"I am glad this coffeehouse thing is getting started. It is a place where talented people can get together and share what they

ly worried about how my poem was going to
go, because it is so explicit in content, but I
really wanted to share it," she said.
The audience did not have any objections, when she was finished the applause
was deafening.
Kimberly Heisler read her poems,
"Night Music" and "Different Worlds." She
added later, "I like the idea of a coffeehouse
very much. I like hearing everybody's stuff.
I think it is a good idea to have more coffeehouses if possible."
Then the music started. Scott Wenning
took to the stage and performed The Door's

Frank Enterline (guitar), Scott Carlton (page turner) and Mike Lucera
(drum) performed the second musical act of the night with songs by the
Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd. When asked about the coffeehouse Lucera
said, "I loved the coffeehouse, I love coffee."
(photo by Sheri Elfman)

Victoria Zaitz, one of the organizers of the Coffeehouse (above),
read three poems for the audience
during the open mic part of the
evening. She said that she was
pleasantly surprised by the turnout.

Nicole
Weingard
(singing) and Mike
Biaskowski (on guitar),
had the audience singing
along with songs like
Janis Joplin's "Bobby
McGhee" and 4 Non
Blondes' "What's Going
On?"
(Photo by Sheri Elfman)
Next was a poem by Langston Hughes
entitled, "Mother to Son," read by Ray
Jillard.
Another musical act appeared on stage
with Mike Lucera on drum, Frank Enterline
on guitar and vocals and Scott Carlton as the
page turner. They sang the songs, "Box of
Rain," by the Grateful Dead and "Mother,"
by Pink Floyd.
Tracie Drumheller read her poems,
"Sweep it Under a Rug," "Drink," "Fire
Dreams" and "Unnoticed."
Chris Wiley, the only comedian of the
night, was next.
Nicole Weingard sang while Mike
Biaskowski played guitar to songs, "What's
Going On?" by 4 Non Blondes, "Elderly
Woman Behind a Counter in a Small Town,"
by Pearl Jam, "Me and Bobby McGhee," by
Janis Joplin and "Closer to Fine" by the
Indigo Girls.
Josh McGill and Jason Kriner played
songs by Green Day and Creedence
Clearwater Revival.

Ben Wy.socki played bass guitar for the
audience.
Another poet, Dan Domin, read to the
guests at the Coffeehouse.
Next, Luke Lorenz on piano, Frank
Resek singing and Michael Hunt on violin
f)erformed the National Anthem.
Last by not least, Kent Glosser (K.V.)
read "Soul" and "Down" for the enthusiastic
crowd.
One great aspect of last week's
Coffeehouse was not only the great turnout
but the suppKirt shown from audience to performer. Every act, from musical to comical
to poetic was rewarded with a great round of
applause.
This is definitely an event that should
happen again at the University. It showed
student support, mutual respect and m all
jiround good time.

Overcoming adversity to shine
by Brenda Bartlett
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
At six feet 195 pounds, John Burkhart
may be small compared to his competition,
but he is viewed by his competitors as a big
threat.
Burkhart throws the discus for the Bald
Eagle men's track team. In the recent
Susquehanna Invitational, Burkhart placed
first and had his best ever throw with a distance of 146' 8".
That throw was a personal best for him,
and it was 21' 8" better than his best throw
as a freshman four yea.-s ago.
Burkhart, a senior majoring in

Management Science with a concentration
in Quantitative Methods and a minor in
Mathematics, began throwing the discus in
high school. He felt that this was an event
that would be challenging.
Liking challenges, Burkhart strove to be
the best. With help from a fellow team
member, Burkhart was able to improve his
technique and eventually break Smethport
High School's discus record. He also finished first in his league and second at the
District IX Championships in 1993.
Burkhart joined the Bald Eagle track
team as a walk-on his freshman year. He
had to overcome the larger sizes and heavier
weights of the other collegiate throwers.
This pushed him to work on using more

technique to further his throws.
During his sophomore year, he had a
hard time working on his technique because
there was no throwing circle available for
him to work out of.
He overcame the obstacles of collegiate
competition and qualified for the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference
(PSAC) Championships in three consecutive
years. He also became Lock Haven's fourth
best discus thrower ever.
This past year, Burkhart began competing in the 35 pound weight throw, an indoor
track event. In only his first year of competition, he broke Lock Haven's school record
and qualified for the East Coast Athletic
Conference Championships.

As a member of the track team, Burkhart
expects each member to give 110 pwrcent in
any event they do. He also hopes that the
team places high in the final PSAC tandings.
Burkhart has also set goals for himself.
He wants to further his best throw in the discus, place in every meet and place in the top
five at the PSAC Championships.
According to track coach Mark Ellistion,
"John is a very dedicated athlete and a team
leader."
Burkhart is not only a leader on the
track, but off the track as well. He is a residente assistant at Smith Hall and the chaplain of the Alpha Kappa Psi professional
business fraternity.

Ladies are raided Brother for a day
by Stacy Puhl
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The women's lacrosse team suffered
their first PSAC loss of the season against
the Shippensburg Raiders on Tuesday.
The Raiders came in strong to dominate
the game leaving the first half with an eight
to five lead. Ship closed the game with a
score of 12-10.
Assistant Coach Pat Rudy stated that the
offense and the defense were both hurt by
the number of turnovers in the mid-field.
Rudy went on to say that a team, "can't do
that (commit turnovers) against a good team
like Shippensburg and expect to win."
Tuesday's game was the Laxters' second
game of the season and the Raiders seventh,
which is a clear advantage to Shippensburg.
The lead scorer for the Haven was
Kristen Pickersgill with five goals.

LACROSSE
Following Pickersgill was Sharon Krieder
who scored three goals to move her career
goal record to 114, only eight shy of the
record.
Rebecca Demusz and Carleen Childs
scored one point each for their team.
Kreider and Elaine Farago both had assists.
Pickersgill and Kristy Baldwin contributed
to the defense with two interceptions each.
Kreider and Farago both had one interception. Goalkeeper Ann Smith had 18 saves
for her 60 minutes of play time for the Lady
Eagles.
The lacrosse team will play in three
away games next week. On Saturday, April
5, the team will be visiting Mercyhurst;
Sunday, April 6, the team will be at Gannon
and will play their second PSAC game
against East Stoudsburg on Tuesday, April 8.

Anybody need a ride?
by Karl Raffin
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Have you ever thought about going
across the river to the Lock Haven
University baseball field to watch a game
but just could not find a ride? Most students
without transfKjrtation have been faced with
this dilemma at one time or another.
TTirough the efforts of the sports department intern, John "Pilsey" Petrilyak, students may be able to come out and support
the team. Petrilyak has been coordinating
plans to provide transportation in the form
of shuttle vans for students to and from
games held at the Bald Eagles' field across

the river.
Students will be able to get rides from
the front of Thomas Field House fifteen
minutes prior to the start of the first game
which all begin at 1:00 p.m. The vans will
then take whoever wants to go, back to campus at the conclusion of the first game.
Anybody wishing to attend the second
game can be picked up in front of Thomas
when the vans return the students from the
first game.
Petrilyak said,"It is a great way for students who do not have access to transportation to still be able to come out and support
the ball club." Information will be posted
on campus for interested students.

Head Football Coach Nick Polk, and
many of his Lock Haven University football
players volunteered on March 18, to become
Big Brothers for one evening.
Fifteen football players accompanied 12
children in an evening of Marco Polo, watertag and creative dives. Polk said the children truly enjoyed the hour they got to spend

in the swimming pool with the players. "A
lot of children don't have the opportunity to
enjoy these types of events," he said.
Polk thought this was a great opportunity for the University to reach out to the community.
He hopes that children see positive role
models in his players. The University
allowed the use of their swimming facilities
for the Big Brothers and Big Sisters
Organization.

Cardiac Kids are off to a great start
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The 1997 version of the LHU baseball
team can be called by many names, but the
one that seems to be sticking is the "Cardiac
Kids".
Lock Haven came from an 8-0 deficit to
beat California University 9-8 in game one
of the double-header Wednesday afternoon
at Foundation Field. The Bald Eagles
dropped game two by a score of 2-1.
California jumped out to an early lead on
LHU starter Scott Bennett, scoring three
runs in the third and five in the fifth.
Lock Haven answered Cal's five run
fifth with a three run fifth to cut the lead to
8-3. It remained that way until LHU's last at
bat in the bottom of the seventh.
The Bald Eagles loaded the bases, then
Erik Steinbacher ripped a one-out single to
score Curt Chilson and Dave Hartlaub.
Leon Fitch then had a two run single of
his own, with Steinbacher and Grant
Jackson scoring, making the score 8-7.
The crowd at Foundation Field came
alive as they sensed yet another LHU comeback.
With two on and two outs, Marco
Randazzo stepped to the plate and delivered
a screaming line drive to left that scored
Mike Galaida. The ball took a bad hop and
Brad Strohm, who reached on a single
before Randazzo, came around to score the
winning run. Fitch was 3-4 at the plate in
the game.

Bennett pitched five innings and struck
out eight. Dan Beyer pitched a scoreless
sixth and Eddie Wall retired the side in the
seventh to pick up his first win of the season .
California earned a split in game two
scoring two runs in the top of the seventh
off of LHU reliever John Wakeley, who
picked up the loss.
Jeremy Fisher pitched six strong innings
before tiring in the seventh. Fisher struck
out seven.
LHU could only manage five hits off of
California pitching, with Galaida and
Jackson getting two hits a piece and
Chilson getting the other one. LHU has a 31 record in the PSAC-west so far this season.
Last Saturday Lock Haven welcomed
perennial PSAC-east power Mansfield to
Foundation Field and roughed the Mounties
up sweeping the double header 9-1 and 5-1.
In the first game Karl Raffin pitched a
complete game gem. Raffin (3-0) scattered
seven hits and struck out two in the complete game win. Fitch and Jackson were
both 2-3 and Hartlaub had a 2-4 day at the
plate.
Game two was the same story. Bald
Eagle hitting plus a great pitching performance. The hitting came from an Elvis
Ruiz third inning home run and a Jackson
two run homer in the fifth. J. C. Keefer
pitched six strong innings before giving
way to Wakeley who struck out the last
Mansfield batter with the bases loaded to

pick up the save.
Lock Haven is 11-7-2 on the season and
will play host to Pitt-Johnstown today at

1:00 p.m. in a double header at Foundation
Field. LHU will then go on the road this
weekend to lUP for a PSAC-west clash

Ladies rock Clarion
SOFTBALL

The Lady Eagles seem to like playing at
home after the way they have been rolling
through their opponents lately.
The team most recently played host to
Clarion on Wednesday and swept the double
header by taking game one with ease, but
fought for a gut wrenching win the second
game.
Game one saw the ladies break out the
bats quickly as they rallied to score eight
runs in the second inning and opened up a
huge lead. The team never looked back
after that and went on to beat Clarion 10-1.
Game one was a slugfest for the Lady
Eagles who had four starters with multi-hit
games.
Laura Koller and Cori Anderson each
had two hits along with Stacy Warner who
ripped a triple for one of her two hits.
Brittany Sharp also pulled out the lumber as she had two hits, including a double.
Pitcher Erin Monger pitched an almost
flawless game as she allowed only one run
in six innings. The team committed no
errors in game one, but the defense did not
paint as pretty of a picture in game two.

The team committed five errors which
allowed Clarion to have a lead until 'ate in
the game. Clarion was up 5-3 at the top of
the sixth inning until the Lady Eagles had
an eight run rally in the bottom of the
inning.
Roseann Mogan started off the rally
with a walk and was knocked in on a double by Melissa Caldwell. The team continued the scoring fest with some walks and a
plethora of singles to finally put the team
ahead for good and win the game 11-5.
Jen Estright and Laura Koller both
racked up two hits and two runs a piece and
Diane Drumheller and Sharp both knocked
home four of the team's 11 runs.
Coach Kim Lindsey was very pleased
with the team's performance in game one
saying that the team went out there pvaying
hard, and not committing any errors really
helped them out.
Lindsey had a different outlook on game
two. "The five errors were very costly and
they almost handed Clarion the game. The
team came together when they needed to
and that showed a lot of character coming
back like they did."
The Lady Eagles (10-4 overall, 4-0 in
the PSAC) will travel to Indiana on April 5,
and California on April, 8 before retuming
home to face Slipjjery Rock on April 12.

Elmer has high hopes for a bright future
by Chad Forry
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter
Eric Elmer, a 1995 graduate of Bishop
McDevitt High School in Northern
Philadelphia, played four years of varsity
baseball as a center fielder. His proudest
moment was when he was selected to the
first team All-Catholic All Star team.
Elmer's love for baseball goes'back to
the days when he played little league.
His mother, who was born in Puerto
Rico, and his step-father, born in Spain, both
supported him in his desire to excel in organized baseball.
In the Elmer family, baseball was a family affair with his two brothers and sister all
giving him support from the sidelines.
Elmer headed to LHU with the hopes of
playing varsity baseball. However, in his
freshman year, he was cut during the fall try
outs.
Elmer says this was a very difficult time

when he was cut.
He confided in Dennis Mejias, the
minority recruiter in LHU's admissions
office. Mejias encouraged Elmer to go up to
the boxing room and talk with Dr. Ken Cox,
the veteran boxing coach.
Elmer stated that, "Afjer 1 spoke to Dr.
Cox and met coaches Ken Cooper and Mike
Romanesky, I decided I would give boxing
a try. Since that time I've never looked back
and have come to love the sport of Olympic
style boxing."
Elmer's step-father, who did some boxing while in the Spanish Navy, and his
mother, who is a Spanish teacher at
Allentown Dieruff, and the entire Elmer
clan have supported him in' his boxing pursuits just as they did in baseball.
"They have saved money to travel twice
to Reno, Nevada, to cheer me on," stated
Elmer. "Now instead of dreaming about
being a major league baseball player, my
dreams have turned toward boxing as a 112

"Of course, my immediate goal is to win
the 119 title, where I have Brandt Duttle,
University of Kentucky, and Jason Lavarias,
U.S. Navy to contend with," commented
Elmer.
"I wish I could have dropped to 112 for
the National Championships, but Dr. Cox
would not allow me to because he felt it
might hurt my academics," he stated.
Elmer, a health and physical education
major would like to work as a physical director of a Boys and Girls Club in an inner city
while coaching and teaching junior Olympic
boxing.
Elmer concluded, "In addition to my
great LHU boxing coaches, I must also credit any success I have had up until now to, not Eric Elmer did not start out as a

always be grateful to Dave Fields, Fred boxer, but now he is LHU boxing's

12 Eagle Eye Friday, April 4, 1997

An incredible season comes to an end
Indiana 6-2 to win the 142 piound title.
Chandler only lost two matches all season,
both to Kolat. Kolat used two takedowns,
an escape and the riding time bonus to put
the exclamation f)oint on his carrer and on
the Bald Eagles' performance at the UniDome.
Kolat ended the season 25-0 and his carrer at 111-7, with four All-American honors
and two titles. (He won the 134 pound title
last year.) Kolat became only the second
person in school history to win two or more
National Championships with the other person being Gary Simons (1960, 61 and 62).
The biggest surprise to everyone, except
to Poff, who predicted it before he left for
nationals, was sophomore Terry Showalter.
Showalter upset two seeded wrestlers, number 12 Carl Perry of Illinois and number 5
Coby Wright of Cal-Bakersfield, on his way
to a sixth place finish. Showalter became a
first time All-American, just like his teammate Brian Leitzel.
Leitzel has been wrestling this season
like a man possessed and capped this stellar
season with a sixth place finish. Leitzel
upset #7 seed Byron Tucker of Oklahoma
on his way through the brackets. The senior
captain finished his Bald Eagle wrestling
career with an impressive 93-38 record.
Mike Rogers became an All-American
with a sixth place finish at 150. Rogers won
his first two matches and then lost a tough
decision to Chad Kraft of Minnesota.

Everything in life takes steps until you
reach your goals. When he arrived at Lock
Haven University seven years ago, Carl Poff
wanted to bring Lock Haven wrestling back
to its place in the nation.
Last year team Lock Haven made a leap
forward with an 11th place finish at nationals and a PSAC Championship. That was
just a baby step compared to what the Haven
did this year.
Three goals. That is all coach Poff and
his wrestlers had. Win a second straight
PSAC title, win the EWL team title and a
top ten place in nationals. No one would
ever believe that LHU would get all three
goals and more on their way to one of the
best finishes in school history and a place
among the elite wrestling programs in the
nation.
LHU returned from nationals at
Northern Iowa with a fifth place finish, the
highest ever of any LHU wrestling team;
with five Ail-Americans, another first; and
Cary Kolat, Mr. Consistency, added yet
another National Championship to his
already impressive resume.
The performance that LHU put on will
never be forgotten. Poff and his staff were
pleased, surprised and every other happy
emotion you could think of.
