An Albanian student, Eddie,
spoke on his feelings of the bombings. He said that the Albanians
have been suppressed for many years
and that Albanians are fighting with
no chance of winning this war. He is
happy that NATO forces have
stepped in.
"Without NATO these people
would have stayed in regime. There

said. He added that people deserve

Claudianna, an Albanian student,

As college students, we have our
whole life ahead of us. We're here to
look ahead into our future and in the
process, we leave our friends and
family back home for the time being.
What happens when our friends
and/or loved ones leave us behind for the rest of our time on Earth?
This is a reality to some students
wandering this campus, those grieving the death of a father, mother,
girlfriend, brother, grandmother,
etc., as talked about during a panel
discussion entitled, "College Students and a Family Death."
The discussion, organized by Dr.
John Gordon, chair of the Speech
and Theatre Department, was based

Bower stressed to the audience in
Sloan's Countdown Theatre that "we
must experience the pain of grieving" before one can reach the final
step of acceptance.
Perhaps one student panelist who
has reached this final stage fully is
Matt Whitter, who lost his fiance to a
car accident four days after Christmas in 1995. He described how that
day he and his girlfriend, Melissa,
were to eat dinner together, but she
drove ahead of him and he was to
pick her up at her house. When he

Despite the enormous grief he experienced the first year or so, Whitter said that now three and a half
years later, "I am a success."
With the help of friends and family, Whitter decided not to take his
own life as he had once considered,
but to live it fully. He said he is
ready for a relationship again, believing that despite Melissa's place
in his heart, he is not trying to replace her.

The Eagle Eye

Professor discusses the psycho iogy of homosexuality

Weather

Justin Houck
The Eagle Eye
Dr. Mark Cloud, professor of psychology at Lock Haven University,
aimed to help educate students on
the biological features of sexual orientation during his speech entitled,
"Psychology of Homosexuality" last
Thursday. The speech was done to
coincide with Pride Week.
Cloud suggested that "our gut
feelings are often wrong" in relation
to assumptions on how sexual orientation occurs. He feels that systematic empiricism, the process of using
evidence that has been tested and approved by many scientists, is the best
bet for understanding the world.
One should not use "person-who"
statistics when trying to understand
sexual orientation, he said.
"Have an open mind, but not so
open that your brain falls out," was
one of the messages conveyed to the
audience by Cloud.
He said that most issues don't
have clear answers and that knowledge is uncertain. Just because an issue isn't settled doesn't mean that all
answers are created equal.
Cloud emphasized that sex hormones play a large role in determining sexual orientation. He feels that
people should get out of the "menare-men, women-are-women" assumption. The amount of hormones
secreted determines how masculine
or feminine any person could act or

If 50 Lock Haven University students were
asked how many pounds of trash the University
produces in one year, how many of these students
would guess correctly?
This question was asked in a random phone
survey of 50 on- and off-campus students.
The numbers were astonishing. Only six students came remotely close to guessing the correct
weight.
The other 44 respondents had no idea that the

The waste taken away from the 29 University
buildings is removed by the Love Inc. removal
service.
According lo Judy Caprio, University employee, Love Inc., is paid $3,344.50 each month to remove garbage from the University. Because the
20 University buildings produce 1.25 million
pounds of trash per year, this equals $31 per
pound.
Keep in mind that in the previous article on
waste it was reported that the University no longer
recycles white paper. The University produces
50,021 pounds of paper waste per year. At this
rate of $31 per pound, the University could save
$15,579 per year in waste removal services.

Hotline organizers said graduate students would prefer speaking to counselors from a distant city for fear of having their crisis exposed on campus.
"A national hotline a thousand miles away may be more appealing for
some grad students who initially might be reluctant to contact on-campus

special consultant for the hotline and chief certification examiner for the
American Association of Suicidology.

ARE WELCOME,

Dear Editor:
I received an 89 percent on this speech I gave for
class. A friend of mine said that it should be printed because it is a topic that students can relate to and it describes our generation.
This past Easter weekend, I decided to take a trip
So, I hopped on my motorcycle and headed south.
After a few hours in Lancaster, I headed back, hoping
to avoid the rain that was predicted for Saturday night.
For most of you it may seem unusual to go for such
long rides in less than predictable weather in early
spring, but for me, I love to put in the miles on my days

Why? Because I'm traveling in the scene rather than
looking at it from a window of an automobile.
One of the best parts about a bike is all you can hear
is the motor whine and the wind whistle. Without the
distraction of a radio or other people talking, I get to really think.
For me, the long hours of riding creates a mental state
in which I am capable of some very deep introspection

and meditation.
Needless to say, I got side-tracked on my route home
to Lock Haven, and took the long way through the mountains as opposed to the Interstate. It was up in the mountains as I navigated the dark, twisting roads when I
thought about this speech, and the topic I wish to share.
The topic is "Love," and you may wonder what this
has to do with a man alone on a mountain, in the dark,
with
riding a motorcycle about to hit bad weather
I promise to get back to that.
cold hands
The Beatles told us that all we needed was love in the
1960s. In the 1980s, J-Giles Band told us that "Love
Stinks," and what have the 1990s told us about love?
Get a prenuptial agreement, a good lawyer and take
self defense classes.
I like to refer all of my higher questions about love to
the various forms of mass media. But, when I take a
look, I am a little scared.
Let's start with the movies:
What about the biggest love story of all time:
Titanic: "No I insist sweetheart, you take my seat on
the raft, I can swim." Chivalry.
Taxi Driver: A guy with shaved head looks in the
mirror and says, "You looking at me? You looking at
me?"
Fatal Attraction: "Dead Rabitty Stew."
Angel Heart: "Incest and deals to the devil."
Crash: "Every time we have sex, my auto insurance
goes up."
Love Story: "We worked so hard to be together and
then you got cancer."
When Harry Met Sally: "Really, let's be friends for
20 years before we get married, then you can fake all
your orgasms when we do it."
Okay, the movies may not be the best place to look

for love, so what about the news?
Joey Buttafucco? Who? Where is Amy Fisher now?
She thought she was in love.
Evana got of all Trump's money. Donald thought he
was in love.
Frank Gifford? He couldn't stick to chewing the fat
on Monday Night Football and then got caught chewing
something else. I sat there through that Christmas special and I was sure they were a happy and an in-love couple.
The Bobbits? Enough said.
The Clintons? "I don't want to say it - Hey honey,
have you seen my humidor? This cigar is dry."
The Simpsons? O.J., not Homer.
Pain and suspicion seem to be the logical conclusions
to relationships. All of these people thought they were in
love and look where it got them, or in Mr. Bobbit's case,

Well, I have been playing devil's advocate long
enough. Does anyone have a definition for love?
Getting back to that man alone on his motorcycle in
the dark on top of the mountain
As I was riding and thinking, my hands grew numb
from the cold air, and I remembered that my last motorcycle had heated hand grips and I remembered how
much nicer my previous bike was. I then recalled why I
got rid of it.
You see, I thought I was in love a few years back and
my now ex-wife asked me to give up my dangerous hobbies and be responsible, so I sold my beloved 1993
BMW RS 1000 Black and Gold limited edition Euro
Sport Touring Model that included heated hand grips to
please the one that I thought I loved.
I had to wait for two months for my bike to be madeto-order and delivered from Germany to England (where
I was living in 1993.)
Two months after I lost my bike to the Indiana countryside to a strange man never to be seen again, I lost my
wife to the municipal circuit court in Indianapolis also to
a strange man never to be seen again.
Today, I drive a 1983 Suzuki, and I am committed to
a little lady who will never ask me to give up my bike,
comes when I call her and if she runs away with a
stranger, I can take her back, no questions asked.
The most she will cost me is a few dollars a week in
food and an occasional doctor bill.
Her name is Tuesday and she just had her first birthday last week. She doesn't say much, but most dogs
don't.
And, if things don't work out for us, I can put her to
sleep instead of paying alimony.
Love may be all you need in some places, but love
stinks when you are in the mountains with cold hands
trying to think.

The Eagle Eye

The poetic music and sincere dialogue
of performing songwriter Tom McCormack penetrated the hearts of audience members at the Lock Haven performance of
"Hate Speech and Love Songs" on March
30.

The program unearthed the emotions
behind the issues plaguing homosexuality
and focused on inspiring dignity and confidence in gays, lesbians and bisexuals
through McCormack's original music and
speech based on his personal experience as
a gay man.
McCormack began by reciting a definition of hate, describing it as "intense hostility or aversion, usually deriving from
fear, anger or sense of injury." He continued on to emphasize the hateful motivations behind prejudice actions, including
the current situation in Kosovo and recent
acts of homophobia, speaking mournfully
of theircausalities as aresult or fear and ignorance.
"People tend to trivialize it," said McCormackofhate. Common phrases such as
"I hate my haircut" diminish the intensity
of hate to an annoyance, "but it's much
deeper than that."
Hate invoked by ignorance can be a

years, finally writing a song about his an-

entitled "Coming." According to
McCormack, the declaration "wasn't about being gay." It was about hiding love that was in
his heart.
"There was so much energy being spent
hiding that once I let go of that and just sort of
worked more honestly, I had a lot more energy
to work for other things," he said. "It's a very
life-giving process."
The comfort and openness of his dialogue
created the intimacy of a friendly conversation
and conveyed a deep understanding of his self,
McCormack encouraged the audience not to
oversimplify about homosexuals and stressed
the universality of the metaphor "coming out of
the closet" as an event everybody experiences,
Another instance in which McCormack
came out of the closet occurred when he chose
to end his career in television in order to follow
his passion of music.
"I realized how important it was just to be
happy," he said "and to be happy you have to be
in touch with what speaks to you and what turns
nouncement

you on."
In fulfilling that passion, McCormack
found an additional purpose in communicating
his message in the program "Hate Speech and

Love Songs."

"My goal is to help people come to a better
understanding of themselves in relationship to
other people, people who are different from
them, people who they may look down upon or
they may be fearful of, and basically try to
bridge that gap somehow."

I have to hand it to Kensington correspondent, Natalie "Tricky Juanita"
Clarke for putting this whole thing together. She's been known to pull off
some big events in the past. However, this one takes the hash cake!!!
The list of guests that will be joining us this weekend is quite extensive
and exclusive. But before we get into that, I have been informed by Law En-

quite busy since exiting thc Haven last year. He is now known as "Righty"
and is a key player in the Pocono mob. He is in charge of beating up old
women and stealing their eyeglasses which will later be sold on the black
market. His favorite method of subduing the "old fu**s" as he calls them is
by going door to door, pretending to sell weed (overgrown shrubs, of course),
claiming it can be used to treat glaucoma. When they take their glasses off
and inhale (just breathe hard, that is), he backhands them across the face,
stomps on them a few times and finishes them off with an

grabs the glasses and peels out in his pink Lincoln. Gee,
Tom, can't you put your talents to better use?
Next, remember Heather Smith? Last time I talked to
her, she was a bounty hunter known as "Guts." She has
now become a female rap star named "M.F.'n Moesha."
She raps about her tough times growing up in Western
Pa., and how she had to scratch and fight on the streets,
even for a piece of bread. She also tells about her amazing rise through high school and to a college degree. "No
one can f***in keep me down," Heather said. "I just step
on any f***er in my way," she continued. What a story!!
You will all be seeing Heather on VH-1 very soon, I'm

were seen stuck together down at Law Enforcement "headquarters." I am going to talk more about them next week,
so as not to take the edge off Juanita's party here.
OK, the biggest name that will be at Juanita-Palooza is
the legendary "Marvelous" Mark Bonser, who I'm sure you
remember from his legendary battles with T-Rex and Gyro
last year. However, he has grown up a lot, and is now doing good for his community. He works at his local WalMart and greets customers as they walk into the door handing out carts, baskets and flyers, all while flashing his legendary smile. He is so much more than that. He is also in
charge of the public address system, where he mixes and
scratches all of the store's jingles and commercials.

some butt. Joining him will be the other half of the Rock's "Corporate Bitches," Jeanne Papparelli. She's gonna lay some smack down.
OK now. I informed vou all at Homecoming that Josh Eidson and Scott
Thompson had gone into business together. However, within the past
months, the two have not been seeing eye-to-eye. In fact, several irreconcilable differences have led them to breaking up. "He's always slapping other
people's asses," said Thompson. "Yeah, well Thompson snores like a mother f***er. That's bull s**t," retorted Eidson.
Property Management
Well, they worked out their split amiably. But there is one thing that they
can not resolve on their own. That is custody of their pet monkey, Ernesto.
So folks, both parties have agreed to dismiss their court cases and have their
disputes settled in the Town Tavern, in the courtroom of JUDGE JULIE.
So, the trial was held last week. I got the lowdown from our correspondent, Michael "Love to Wet Myself Sutika. As Judge Julie staggered out to
her bench yelling "F. F. F," and banging her shot glass gavel, the hearing was

To coin a cliche, history repeats itself - first as

Armand Van Helden made a club smash out of Tori
Amos' "Professional Widow." Todd Terry's reworking of

And Madonna's house mixes of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" did better than her last album, the techno-enhanced "Ray of Light."

propriate. But you can still hear both
songs, and other Top 40 hits, in the clubs, thanks to pop
music's newest, weirdest cottage industry: the "dance
cover."
The Tower Records superstore in Boston gives this
nutty mini-genre its own display, with bin cards reading
"Not Natalie Imbruglia" and "Not Chumbawamba."
"You'd be surprised at how [fast] they fly out of

here," says Sean Richardson, a Tower employee.
He says the phenomenon first exploded with Aqua's
"Barbie Girl." When the single became a surprise hit and
sold out within a week, a group called "Savannah" covered the song and rushed its version into stores.
Richardson also said that without these remakes,
many of today's radio hits wouldn't be available as singles at all.
Take Fastball's "The Way." Though it's blowing up
on radio, Hollywood Records hasn't released it as a single. It hopes consumers who want to
own the song will shell out $17 for a
full-length Fastball CD. But Hollywood didn't count on thc pseudo-band
Fatcall, which threw a wrench in the
marketing machine by releasing a CD5
maxi-single of "The Way" dance mixes.

It's the musical equivalent of swapmeet Gucci, except it's legal. Unlike,
say, the cut-ups behind the unauthorized Beck jungle mixes currently
available on the Web, the producers

behind these remakes aren't sampling
the original recordings. They're just covering the songs,
programming the melodies on cheesy keyboards, adding
Hi-NRG and house beats, and hiring studio singers to
parrot out the words.
It's the inevitable result of the mainstreaming of
technology- the same inexpensive equipment that lets a
bedroom-bound punk make records that sound as good
as Fatboy Slim s makes it possible for guys with base-

studios to knock off the hits, with pressing and
mastering as their only overhead.
On Fatcall's "The Way," Fastball's Tony Scalzo gets
writing credit. He'll also get a percentage of the profits.
But minus Scalzo's cut, Fatcall will make a fast buck.
Upstart indie imprints like Interhit, ZYX and Under
the Cover have proliferated, racing to supply DJs and
fans with raved-up versions of the latest hits.

Dear Fed Up,
It may be difficult for women to understand why men have the habit of
jingling around the family jewels in public places, but you have to realize
that it is often a subconscious act of adjustment.
As a male of the species, I know that I catch myself readjusting in inappropriate places like on the elevator or in Bentley. I guess it could be
compared to the readjustment of the bra strap for women. When you feel
discomfort from your underwire, you want to fix it as soon as possible. Men
are the same way. In the hustle and bustle of daily activity, our "third-leg"
often gets into a weird place in our pants and causes a nagging discomfort.
Like the bra strap, we must fix the problem immediately. It's almost
like our brains won't function unless we are comfortable.
The only other thing that is worse than having the "beans above the
frank" is the feeling of pain when all the blood in your arm drains to your
hands after leaving your arm around your date at a movie for two hours.
These feelings rank below the painful act of being struck in the man-

heads as a rave DJ.
While a male house vocalist belts

es men "adjusting themselves"
Everyone notices that men have an obsession with having their hands
down their pants, but I want to hear your opinion on why men constantly
do this.
I understand the whole "adjusting yourself theory, but it shouldn '/ take
an extended period of time to do. Also, it's definitely not a turn on for a
woman to be talking to a guy who's hands are more interested in his own
package than talking to her. If men are trying toflaunt their manliness, they
should be aware that women just aren't interested in seeing that.

So with that in mind, please be a little more understanding if we have
to "play a little pocket pool" during a conversation.
For all of you feminists out there who think men only think with the
smaller head, let me say this: If a man readjusts himself in the middle of a
conversation, he is simply trying to get his "brain" into a better place to
think for him, which may be why men stutter before and shortly after they
fix themselves.
I once did a study on the subject and found that 40 percent of men feel
that this discomfort could lead to prostrate problems and another 40 percent
said that they feared that if they didn't immediately readjust, their appendage would be deprived of blood flow and fall off. The remaining 20
percent just wanted to make sure it was still there.
If you believe that one, you should have your head checked by a real
doctor.
I don't get why women have to check out every shoe sale they come
across; even if they have 73 pairs of shoes, they still check out the sale.
Women have to look at shoes, we need to readjust ourselves frequently. You
try walking with a roll of quarters and two walnuts in your shorts and count
how many times you play with yourself and let me know the results. We'll
do a study on it.

Joe Tighe

The Eagle Eye
Not every outing I have been on
has been fun. There have been times
when I've had a miserable or terrifying experience in the wilderness. In
retrospect, I laugh at the times when
I thought that I would lose all enthusiasm for the outdoors, so I guess
they really have been all positive experiences, and they've also been en-

lightening. I've learned much from
my mistakes outside, and I have yet
to make the same mistake twice.
Allow me to tell a story about the
time I almost got myself killed.
One of my hobbies is a dumb
one, if you think about it logically. I
really enjoy tying myself to a rope no
thicker that an inch in diameter, and
then attempting lo scale the rock face
of a cliff. It's all very fun, so long as
you never think about the fact that if
you fall and the rope doesn't hold
then you are likely to become human
pancake at the base of the cliff.
If that awareness creeps into your
consciousness then you are likely to
chicken out. Modest fear is necessary however. If you choose to ignore the fact that you are essentially
trusting your life to a fiber cord, then

I fell. I fell hard.
I had just gotten out of my car
and was checking my equipment to
make sure that I had everything I
needed to climb the 100-foot wall
that I wanted to attempt since I first
journeyed to Ralph Stover State
Park. Stover has a climbing area
known as High Rocks, and it one of
the better climbing spots on the East
Coast. Not the best, just good.
I had brought my friend Charlie
along with me. He was a pretty decent climber and I trusted him with
my life. So, I sorted through my gear
and seeing that everything was there,
I threw thc backpack, which held my
rope, carabiners, chocks, cams, etc.
onto my back and headed down the
winding path for about a mile until I
reached my long awaited rock face.
The wall shot 100 feet straight into the air. I stood at the base and felt
very small compared to the magnificence of nature and surveyed the face
for a route. I figured that it would be
best to climb it sort of zigzag so as to

me. Just take my word for it.

ARTICULATE?

I had been climbing for about 15
minutes straight, and the lactose was
starting to build up in my forearms,
My muscles became rock hard, and
my usually tight grip was loosening
as each second slipped by.
I yelled down to Charlie, all 50
feet, that I was going to take a break,
He locked the rope off and screamed
up that I could relax.

I let go of the wall and sat back
comfortably in my harness. I shook
the ache out of my arms and looked

around.

High Rocks is in a sort of valley,
so I really couldn't see much besides
trees, but there was a guy fly fishing
in the stream that ran through the
gorge below the cliffs. He was making perfect ten and two casts, but not
getting a bite...oh well.
One of the things that I used to
do, back when I was an irresponsible
climber, was hold on It) the rope and
then (lip myself upside down so thai
I was suspended in the air doing a
swan dive. My head was where my
feet were a minute ago. and now the
fly fisher was making perfect eight

and four casts. Turning yourself upside down on purpose is really dumb,
but you get a real rush.
The problem is you can slip out
of the harness, but that's not what
happened.
Alter about five minutes of taking a break. I resumed my climbing
I was getting sick of waiting to gel to
the top. so I resumed with unusual
fervor.
I was no longer dancing with ihe
wall. It was more like I was taking
my partner, throwing her to the
ground, and then doing the humptyhump on her lace; I was practically

I was sweating, my legs were

cramping, the veins in my temples
were throbbing, my chest felt like it
would explode at any minute and the
rocks were getting harder to grab as
my grip waned and the sweat from
my palms slicked their surface. I was
breathing hard, like I was running for
my life, and approached the top.
I reached over the top of the cliff
with my right hand and matched it
with my left. Then, with one jerk, I
pulled my body over the top and laid
in the dirt breathing sweat and dust.
Now, you see, the whole time I
was climbing, I was putting chocks
and cams into thc face of thc cliff,
These things serve as anchors for the
rope if you fall. Most climbers put
one every ten feet or so. I put one
every fifteen, depending on the difficulty. If its an easy climb, one every
fifteen feet, a hard one, one every ten
or five feet. This climb was relatively easy, but long. I had climbed 100
feet or so in 25 minutes, and that's
not bad at all. The only problem was,
I was in such a hurry to get to the top
and had forgotten to put a chock in
place for the last fifteen feet. But I
didn't know that yet.
I stood up at the top of the cliff,
which in itself is pretty dumb since
one is susceptible to vertigo when
standing at the edge of a cliff, and
looked down at Charlie. I gave him
the thumbs up, basking in an adrenaline high, loving life, and wallowing
in my victory over Mother Nature's
formidable obstacle, and then I felt it.
I was standing on loose gravel,
and too close to the edge. I lost my
balance, and fell off the cliff. Like I
said, I had forgotten to put the last
chock in, so my fall began with a 15
fool flailing of arms and legs as gravity won out over my repeated efforts
lo fly. 1 grabbed at the rope as if it
was going to save mc, hell, it was going down with me.
All sorts of thoughts ran through
my head, like, did I leave the toaster
on? Who has the power of attorney
in the event of my death? I wonder if
this is going to hurt? And how the
hell are the paramedics going to spatula my body from thc floor of this
canyon? Then I decided to think
about other things, like why wasn't I
wearing a helmet?
These thoughts came at first, but
then I was just hoping that the chocks

I remembered to place would hold. I
found out soon enough. I was jolted
and slammed backwards into the
wall as my weight on thc rope taught
the line. I felt like someone had hit
me in the pelvis and back with a
baseball bat from the sheer force of
the rope doing what it was designed
to do. stop me. The rope worked, but

the event of an impetuous fall like
this one -damned sandstone,
My face was sprayed with stinging rock particles and a loud crack
deafened my ears as the chock shot
out from the face like a bullet,
Then I realized that if the first
chock didn't stop me, then neither
would the others. S**t, I was going
to fall 100 feet and die. So much for
my previous conceptions about the
invincibility of youth. Then, I felt
my ankle break,

I had fallen about 35 feet, one
chock had failed, and one ankle had

been severely broken. What had
happened is that while I was Hailing
in mid-air, and after the chock had
failed, my foot had gotten caught in a
crevasse, and that is what stopped
me. My ankle would take months to
heal, and it still gives me problems,
The whole fall took about three
seconds and I was now hanging
about 60 feet above the ground, and I
had to get my mangled foot out ol the

crack. It took a few minutes until I
was free, and then I had to climb
back up, broken ankle and all, to get
to my car.
Allow me to explain this seemingly macho statement. If I had gone
down to my car, I would have had to
walk a mile on the trail lo the parking
lot, on the injured joint, and that was
not

happening because it would real-

ly, really hurt. If I climbed the remainder, and could do so with just
one foot since there was an easier

route close to the one I was on, then

my suffering time was shortened
considerably. Less pain, happier Joe,
get it?
1 dragged myself to the car.
Charlie came running up thc trail into the parking lot screaming "holy
s**t, holy s**t, holy s**t..." and was
in a little more shock than I was. I've
always been good with pain (I could
never, ever have a baby though, for
more reasons than the most obvious
one. Kudos to the women.) He
drove me to the hospital after calming down and the doctors there kept
telling me how lucky I was that my
foot hadn't been ripped off when it
got stuck. I figured that the chock
had at least slowed me down enough
so that would not have happened,

thank God.

And that's why my attitudes towards a lot of sports have been rearranged into completely different
mental schcmas. I now look before I
leap...well, usually. I still climb, and
do a lot of other dumb things for no
reason other than to say I did it, but I
am no longer the reckless adrenalinefed adventurer I once was; rather, I
am now a cautious adrenaline-fed adventurer. So. like I said, you need to
be a little scared to climb cliffs.

U, Iowa wrestlers aware of videos in locker rooms
By Tony Wirt
The Daily Iowan (U. Iowa)

—

(U-WIRE) IOWA CITY, Iowa
Iowa Head Wrestling Coach Jim Zalesky and Strength Coach Daryl Webber were among the wrestlers videotaped by a hidden camera in locker
irooms at the 1995 Midlands Open in

•

,'Evanston, 111.
; The footage is being marketed

•over the Internet and by mail as part

[of "hidden camera" pornographic
;material. A report in Sunday's
IChicago Tribune said the FBI is in-

vestigating whether the tapes violate
(eavesdropping or pornography laws,
Zalesky said Monday he saw
i
[some of the footage a couple years
iago. Zalesky was competing for the
iHawkeye Wrestling Club at the time,
;and was shown in the locker room.
"I'm used to getting naked in
ront of a bunch of guys, so it doesi't really bother me one way or an>ther," Zalesky said.
Current Assistant Coach Terry
Srands attended the 1995 Midlands,
nd he and Weber discovered a man
aping in the weigh-in area before
jrning him over to security.
"We saw a guy holding a black

camera bag with a hole cut out of it,"
Brands said.
"He was directing the camera at
Weber and some other guys, so we
got a little hostile with him and
called the security guard. They ran
him out of there, and I don't know
what happened after that."
"We just held him there and
called for security because we didn't
want to get kicked out of the tournament. I don't think they arrested him,
I think they just booted him off the
premises," said Brands.
Iowa traditionally sends a full
team to the Midlands, along with
members of the Hawkeye Wrestling
Club. It is unknown whether any other Hawkeyes were videotaped.
"I just couldn't believe it when I
first heard about it," former Iowa
Coach Dan Gable said. "But then,
when I thought about it, I realized it
was par for the course, especially
with the ability to get things out to
the public. It's just an easy way to
make money."
Security has been tightened at the
Midlands in recent years to prevent a
repeat of the 1995 incident.
Despite the beefed-up security
measures, the problem resurfaced

this year, when another man was
caught with a video camera. The man
was escorted out of thc building, but
returned without his camera after
buying a ticket, the Tribune reported.
The Midlands tournament isn't
the only place where this appears to
be happening. Tapes were also found
at the University of Memphis, according to the Tribune.
"I figure it's something that hap-

will probably have to go to wearing
briefs during weigh-ins," Gable said.
"That won't affect weigh-ins much
— it's only an ounce. I think it's
more appropriate anyway. I always
felt a little uncomfortable with all
in with their singlets on, and the those naked guys walking around at
NCAA may soon follow with similar weigh-ins.

really thought about before. Now
"Because of this, (the NCAA) that it's made the news, maybe there
pens a lot, not just in wrestling, but
in a lot of places people don't know
about," Zalesky said. "You've just
got to be wary of it."
At international tournaments,
wrestlers are now required to weigh

will be a few changes."
Four years later, Brands — like
Gable and Zalesky — does not appear to be overly distressed by the incidents in 1995. Still, he wishes they
could have been avoided.
"I don't appreciate people filming me when I'm naked, especially
some pervert," Brands said.

An afternoon rain washed out the
Bald Eagle double header against the
Slippery Rock Rockets last Thursday
forcing a Friday afternoon matchup
before Easter Break.
The Haven dropped both games
to Slippery Rock (8-5, 1-0) but rebounded on the following Wednesday to get a sweep over Clarion (5-3,
3-0) raising their record to 14-17 on
the year and 3-5 in the PSAC-West.

the Bald Eagles as they couldn't

Clarion scored their only run of the day in the seventh when Kristina Stojny's single drove home Christine Walker who tripled to lead off. But it was not
enough as the Haven closed out the inning and the game
by a 6-1 margin.
Reichert led the way for the Haven going 3-3 with a

close behind with a 2-3 performance adding two RBIs
and a run.
