Sigma Pi now a colony on campus
by Jennifer Bowes
Eagle Eye News Editor_
After recently receiving colony status, an
inactive campus fraternity is working towards the goal of regaining their charter.
The Sigma Pi fraternity has not been recognized by either the University or the national fraternity chapter since an offcampus incident occurred in 1988.
After derecoginition, former fraternity
members formed the Beta Omega Club.
Tuesday evening, nearly two dozen current members of the Beta Omega Club became brothers of the Beta Omega Colony of
Sigma Pi.
As a colony, the members have one calendar year to achieve fraternity status and, in
turn, regain their charter, according to Dr.
Joseph Marron, dean of students and advisor of the All Greek Council.
Members have been working hard at obtaining this status for a number of years,
Marron said. They have completed what
they had to do up until this point in order to
become a colony, he added.
"We're very excited that our goal of
bringing Sigma Pi back has been realized,"
said Brian Price, the colony's president.
"It's been a long, hard struggle to make it
happen. All our current members as well as
many of our alumni should feel very proud
about themselves for staying dedicated to

their goal."
The colony is required to meet many
University-mandated rules and regulations
within the year's probationary period, including maintaining a minimum colony
grade point average (GPA).
We must go "above and beyond" the
Greek average GPA, Price said. The colony must achieve a cumulative GPA of higher than 2.5, Price added.
The colony must also raise $900 in philanthropy and maintain at least 25 members. Price said.
The colony must function as a fraternity
but be better than average and "excel in
every aspect," he continued.
Plans also exist for the colony to participate in a rigorous agenda of community
service, fund-raising and recruitment projects.
"We can't sit still and act like we've accomplished everything," Price said. "To
reach our goal of reactivating the Sigma Pi
charter and setting a standard for other fraternities to follow, we have to work even
harder."
Price said he was very pleased with
pledge turnout and support. "At first we
were nervous that people wouldn't know
what Sigma Pi was here," he said. But every year the group has attracted enough support to be selective of the members taken
in, he added.

Trends and happenings discussed at meeting

Eagle Eye News Editor_
Characteristics of University freshmen,
seniors and faculty was the featured report
at the University Council of Trustees meeting yesterday afternoon in the Akeley
Boardroom.
Lou Fabian, director of planning and
evaluation, discussed trends and data collected from four student and faculty surveys conducted over a three year period.
Since 1967, the University has been participating in the American Council on Education's Freshman Survey, Fabian said.
In this survey. University freshman indicated throughout the years that their top
reasons for attending college were to attain
a better job, to learn, to gain a general education, to prepare for graduate school, and

to make money.
These freshmen came to the University
because of its academic reputation, low tuition rates, special programs, and financial
aid, Fabian showed.
The survey also showed that one out of
two freshmen attending college are the first
in their family to do so, he said.
Between 500 and 600 respondents participate in the freshman surveys when they are
administered, Fabian said.
Faculty surveys showed that the University's faculty are slightly younger than the
national average and that, given the chance
to choose a career in academics again, nearly 90 percent of the faculty would.
In his report. University President Craig
Dean Willis announced that the spring enrollment includes 19 graduate students,
which is the highest amount to be enrolled
at the University to date.

Meetings, announcements, help wanted listings, apartments for
rent, club announcements, personals.

Willis spoke of the excitement of the
University's wrestling team beating the
Penn State wrestling team for the first time
in the twenty times that they have wrestled.
He also acknowledged the women's
swimming team's "totally winning season,"
in which they swam to a 8-1 record.
Several proposed programs at the University are being prepared to be presented
to the Board of Governors, Willis said. Included is a physicians assistant program, a
masters in education program, and an applied geology program.
Dr. Mary Pursell, vice president for academic affairs, spoke of the way in which
students provide service to society.
Currently, University students are participating in children's theatre performances
in the local elementary schools, volunteering as story readers at the Ross Library, and
working with advertising at the Clinton

She spoke of one student volunteer who
worked with an elderly man who wanted to
learn to read at the Intemediate Unit lO's
Development Center for Adults.
The man wanted to learn to read his
Bible, so after the student helped him to
read, he or she bought the man a new large

It improves the self esteem of the student
to be "perceived as a professional," she
said.

SSHE salary ranges increased
by Masahiro Ueda
Eagle Eye News Editor_
The State System of Higher Education
(SSHE) Board of Governors approved new
salary ranges for SSHE presidents last
month.
President Craig Dean Willis' salary of
$97,308 will not be affected, but the salary
range in the University's tier, Tier I, will
range from $80,000 - $120,000.
According to Scott Shewell, SSHE press
secretary, this action was taken to match
the SSHE presidents' salary to the national
average level of other similar state
universities.
When the Board asked an outside
research company to do a study of nationwide state university presidents' salaries, it
became clear that Pennsylvania was paying
SSHE presidents below a national average.
The
company
then
made
a
recommendation to the Board that this
disparity should be corrected by raising the
SSHE presidents' annual salary.

nors for a price, she added.
In all, 57 minor students were arrested at the time of the bust, Koch said.
Koch said that in the early 1980s it was not uncommon for fraternities to serve alcohol
at parties for a price. The liability insurance required by national chapters, in part,
stopped this practice, she added.
"At this point the University discontinued the charter from then-chartered Sigma Pi,"
Koch said.
The fact that there was no central heating in the house and electric heaters were being
used as a heat source also added to the decision, she said.
Following the removal of the charter, a Sigma Pi alumni group attempted to purchase
the West Main Street house from the national chapter but failed to raise the $16,000 asking-price, Koch said.
As a result, the house was sold to a neighbor who had it demolished.
Koch said the national chapter of the fraternity was not very supportive throughout the
trouble years. More support has been reported since 1992, however.
In early 1994, the club attempted to create a local fraternity called Delta Xi, as they did
not think their efforts were going to "bear fruits," Price said.
Later, Price said the University administration and the fraternity's national chapter was
impressed by the work the group had done as an underground club, so the club decided to
take the chance of regaining its charter.
The colony is participating in Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) and All-Greek Council
meetings, although voting privileges will not occur until the fraternity is chartered.
The relationship between the IFC and Sigma Pi has been "very welcoming," said Kevin
Stone, resident director of High Hall and IFC advisor.

Trustees from page 1

^•iPU•\'-\-4>.:

The Student Life Office will be accepting applications
for the Fall 1995 semester. Applications will be
available in the Student Life Office (Smith Hall) from
8:00am until 4:00pm February 13 - March 17.
Completed applications must be submitted by 4:00pm
on March 21.

The Board approved a salary increase for
most of the 14 SSHE university presidents
and set a new salary range in Pennsylvania.
According to the classification of SSHE
universities, the University is in the Tier I
category with two other SSHE universities,
Mansfield and Cheyney. Tiers II and III are.
made up of larger SSHE schools.
The presidents of the three Tier I schools
are not subject to an immediate raise
because the salary rate of these presidents is'
so close to the other similar state
universities around the nation, Shewell said.
Instead, these three presidents received
the new salary range which allows for the
possiblity of a future raise.
This action allowed the Board to have an
opportunity to be more flexible in closing
the gap between national averages,
according to Shewell
"We are still below national averages in
terms of paying the head of the
universities," said Shewell.
The last salary adjustment was adopted in
1993, according to Shewell.

Dance and theatre camps are being planned.
An ad for the dance camp appears in a recent issue oi Backstage magazine.
Dr. Dean Phelps, vice president for finance and administration, in talking of the
grounds tour for the trustees and administration which preceded the Trustees meeting,
spoke of both completed projects and these
set to begin around campus.
Bids on the Old Ulmer Hall project are
set to open March 1, Phelps said. This project is a Shared Funding Project, which is
the new name for the former "Jump Start"
projects.
The Department of General Services
(DCS) will be managing the project and it is
tentatively set to begin in mid-July, Phelps
said.
A new program is being considered to

Phelps said.
The Admissions office could have the opportunity-to ,lvave studj^ts.oi»;,tke. internet

Other offices would be able to take advantage of the service too, he said.
Willis wished to publicly thank the Keystone Central School District (KSCD) and
its superintendent. Dr. Thomas O'Rourke,
for joining the University on the Hubert
Jack Stadium track renovation project.
The school district's $100,000 contribution helped to make it possible and it was
appreciated by the University, Willis said.
The Trustees made a resolution to grant
emeriti status to the following recently retired professors: Dr. Renuka Biswas, Dr.
John Chase, Gary Renzleman and Mary
Renzleman.
Resolutions were adopted in recognition
of commendable service to the following
recently retired staff: Margaret Colley, Harry Jones, Donald Ludlow, and Barbara
Thiel.
The Trustees also voted to recommend to
the Board of Governors that Willis' contract be extended for one year, after an informal review session prior to the general
session of the Trustees meeting.

Honors policy
angers MU senior
MILLERSVILLE - Kim Hampton will
graduate with the same pomp and circumstance as a student with a 2.0 qualitypoint average (QPA) this May.
That has angered Hampton, a senior
Spanish major, who thought she would
be graduating with honors.
When she filled out her graduation application two weeks ago, she found out
her transfer credits counted for QPA,
which would lower her 3.34 QPA, making her chances of graduating with honors slim.
Hampton said she was told by two Millersville University faculty members that
her summer course and study abroad
credits would transfer but would not
count for her QPA.
"I read the clause, 'Transferred credits
will not affect QPA,'" Hampton said. "I
have never heard of the statement, 'Unless being considered for graduation honors,' and neither have the seniors I have
spoken with."
Rachel Wywadis, associate registrar,
said an MU senior must have a 3.35 QPA
to be eligible to graduate with honors.
Included in the criterion for graduating
with honors are the transfer credits and
the past QPA's to determine the level of
honors, she said.
"I was misinformed by two professors
and now I am being penalized," Hampton
said.

With the announcement of a rebidding of

week that within 90 days they will be ending their present contract with the college.
A rebidding of the food contract means
that the college administration must now

next year's contract and open the bidding
for that contract. Once the bids have been
completed, selection of the lowest bid will
be made in Harrisburg. The new contractor is expected to begin June 1.
At present, the food service committee is

If an artillery simulator went off in somebody's hands, "it would probably kill
them." The light from it's explosion, especially at night, "could cause tempwrary
blindness." Its explosive force is approximately equal to that of a "quarter of a stick

of dynamite.' Those are the words of captain John Confer, of the National Guard and
the Reserves, during mock war games.
On Feb. 2, Lock Haven State College
(LHSC) student Karl Delhaagen discovered
an artillery simulator partially buried on the
grounds around the Sigma Pi Fraternity
House. Lock Haven police were notified
and took the simulator. They contacted the
National Guard. Captain Confer picked it
up. Confer said that when he saw it, he was
"hesitant" to carry it back to the Armory in
his car. The safety device on the simulator- a wire and a cardboard cap— were missing.
This wire and cap cover the string which
ignites the explosive mechanism when it is
pulled.

The new installations include three large

John Wilt, director of Custom Management Food Service, said, "The canopies
and signs serve no functional purpose other than for direction. The other purpose
to the new look is an aesthetic one."

For four nights this week, volunteers have
lit up phone lines in an effort to reach
nearly 100 prospective University students. By phoning accepted applicants
and answering their questions about the
University, the helpers hope to aid in their
college decision-making.
All of the volunteers spend one night reviewing general phone courtesy and are
given an information packet covering the
most-asked questions. Many of them
work in the Admissions Office and are familiar with many of the questions people
ask.
Jennifer Pistner, an Admissions' employee, said, "I know how important it is. I
wish someone had called me and helped
me with my decision." Another volunteer
pointed out, "They feel a little more comfortable talking to students." It also saves
the applicant from making unnecessary
long-distance phone calls.

Lost for words? Writing Center can help
For many ~ perhaps most ~ college students, the worst time of the semester is that
period just before a major class paper is
due. Whether the subject is English Literature, Political Science, Business Writing or
Biology, finishing that written assignment
can be daunting, to say the least.
It's one thing to learn about a subject in
class, but quite another to organize newfound knowledge into a well-structured,
readable essay.
Thankfully, there is an answer to this
predicament, at least at the University: the
Writing Center. Located in Raub Hall
Room 409, this facility offers an important
tutoring service to the whole campus community.
Designed primarily to assist students in
writing and basic English skills ~ although
it offers much more besides ~ it is open to
students every weekday during the semester, and on at least two evenings a week.
On any given day, the center is filled
with students of all types, receiving advice
and instruction on anything from structuring an argumentative essay to operating
Word for Windows, an IBM word processing program.
"It doesn't matter if you're an 'A' student or a ' C student; you can always learn
something by coming here," said student
I"

tutor Tom Webb. "We think we can help
everyone who asks for it."
Carolyn Perry, an assistant professor in
the English, journalism and philosophy department, was instrumental in founding the
Writing Center in 1981 and has been running it ever since.
"The faculty perceived a crisis in students' writing skills at the time, and this
was one of the solutions sought by the University," she recalled. "Since then, I believe the center has developed into an essential campus service in its own right."
Professor Perry, who also teaches classes
in the English department, continues to supervise all aspects of Writing Center activities and services, working with her small
band of tutors, all of whom are University
students.
"I've seen students come in as freshmen,
and keep coming back through their college
years, until they're coming to ask us to review their resumes and job application letters," she said. An essential part of the process, she believes, is to make students
seeking help feel comfortable about coming
here, and to gain their trust and respect.
This is done by having tutors meet students one-on-one, in a friendly and informal atmosphere, to discuss their work.

ers can get is simply to have someone sit
down with them and read over with them
what has been written," said Perry. The
idea is not to correct or grade students' efforts as would a teacher in class, but simply
to talk over the work and suggest possible
improvements.
"We're not a proofreading agency, but
we can help with that; in fact, we can help
at any stage of the writing process," Perry
added.
The most satisfying aspect of this role
for Perry, inevitably, is too see the positive
impact the Writing Center has on individual students' writing and language skills.
"It can't hurt your GPA to be able to
write your papers more effectively," said
tutor Dougie Bicket, referring to the Writing Center's motto, "We don't guarantee
you an 'A,' but the paper you leave with
will be better than the one you came in
with."
Perry hopes that the Writing Center will
continue to attract students who want to improve their command of written English.
With free instruction, and access to computers, laser printers and electric typewriters, the Writing Center adds up to an invaluable service available to everyone who
wants to use it.

Emergency? Call 911
Last weekend there was a medical emergency on
this campus. The student who called in the problem, instead of dialing 911, called the communications center. (Before 911, an emergency was to be
reported to the communications center.)
Yes, for those who are unaware, Lock Haven does
have 911 service. If a medical emergency is serious
enough, as this one was, 911 should be dialed, according to Gertrude Leathers, quality assurance supervisor for the Clinton County Communications
Center.
It is important to call 911 in a emergency because
the response is much quicker. If a person dials 911
and cannot communicate what the problem is, the
call can be traced and emergency service can be
there in no time. On campus students must remember to dial 9 before the 911.
Students should be using 911 in an emergency and
calling 748-2936 in a non-emergency situation. On
campus students should call Law Enforcement.
Calling 911 in a emergency situation could mean
the difference between life and death. Remember
this the next time you have an emergency.

Chapman explained. He tried to show that
AIDS does not need to take over one's life,
or even influence it.
This play tries to display his strong views
about the role of women in society, and how
it must change. There must be less blame
put on women, he said, especially for what
they have no control over. Chapman believes this is very important to help bring
about change in society..

Professor travels
to Russia, reflects
on economic status "PVT. Wars" to
by Carrie McCully
Eagle Eye Features Reporter
Edward Chatterton, professor of economics, traveled to Kemerovo State University
in Russia for two weeks last May to
strenghten relations between them and
\jocV. Haven University.
While in Russia, Chatterton gave a
speech to students, faculty and state officals about economic development in Russia.
Chatterton spoke about how Russia needed to improve their economic situation
through foreign investment. He said that
Russia has the potential to be a very rich
country which would prove great for foreign investment. The only problem they
have is many problems such as different
types of pollution and high taxes that discourage foreign investment. "Communism
has hurt their economic development," said
Chatterton.
The transformation of Russia is so difficult because of the many changes that occur almost daily. Their banking system is
failing and some people are even starving

in different parts of the country.
Chatterton is worried about Russia's economic future. "I hope they embrace free
markets while avoiding some of the pitfalls
that we've had in the past," he said.
"The future of Russia depends greatly on
what happens in the next few years. Once
the government becomes more stable, more
economic growth will occur," explains
Chatterton.
Government officals were so impressed
they invited Chatterton to speak at a conference of western economists in September.

Lombardo leaves behind old drum style...

Grip Inc. has new sound
by Matt Walsh
Eagle Eye Music Critic_

The only thing which really disappoints
me about this disc is that lJ3mbardo has
changed his drum style almost completely.
Gone are the insane drum fills that were al-

This is a fantastic disc, and I highly recommend it when it finally comes out at the end
of this month (it's not out yet, so don't go
running to the store right now).

Definitely one of the biggest headlines in
the past few years regarding alternative and
heavy music was the announcement that
Dave Lombardo, arguably considered by
many to be the best drummer in the world,
announced he was leaving the band. Slayer
he started over 12 years ago.
One of the most anticipated albums in
1994 was Slayer's Divine Intervention, and
everyone was wondering if new drummer
Paul Bostaph could fill Lximbardo's shoes.
Despite the fact that Bostaph has done an
incredible job so far, it is obvious there is
something missing from the band.
Well, 1995 has rolled around, and it's
time to hear the other side of this musical
coin, as one of this year's most anticipated
albums is from Dave Lombardo's new
band, Grip Inc.
The debut album is called Power Of Inner
Strength (Metal Blade Records). If you're

College is
more than a
manhunt
Tina's
Territory
The semester'has been going by pretty
smoothly, and before you and I know it,
spring break will be here. Yes, everyone
will be getting nice and tan down in Florida
while I will be working to pay off my steep
bills on the Master Card.
Oh, enough about that! I'm really sure
you, the readers, want to hear my self-pity.
It's just that everyone seems to have
awesome spring break plans. I realize I am
only 18 and have plenty more spring breaks
coming, so I'll just switch the subject to
something else I love to talk about -- men.
My mother and I had this huge fight
around this time last year. I had just broken
up with my boyfriend, and my mother tried
to console me (the key word is tried) by
saying, "Don't worry Tina. You will find
the perfect man in college. That's what
college is at>out ~ trying to find someone
you want to spend your whole life with."
I guess you could see why I was upset.
What my mother was essentially telling me'
is that I took geometry, biology, and the
SATs just to prepare myself to find a man.
If college is about man hunting, then
women should take courses such as flirting
101, introduction to manicuring, gourmet
cooking, a social seminar on different hair
and facial products and their influence in
society, and family planning ~ sex
education.
Now ladies, don't start getting upset. I am
just being sarcastic. My mother didn't
realize I came to college, not to find my
soulmate but to educate and inspire my
own soul. I know of people who seem to
think guys are the only thing to live for in
this world, and that upsets me.
I don't understand why some women only '
center their lives on their men. They only
want to be with their men, think about their
men, or do things for their men. Don't
these people see how boring their lives are
when they are this one-sided? If they have
no outside interests except their men, what
are they going to do if (God forbid!) their
men become nonexistent?
Listen, I understand about quality time
and all of that. I am a hopeless romantic
too when 1 want to be, but some people
push it a little too far. I just don't like
seeing young women spending thousands of
dollars a year just to find a husband. That's
a pretty expensive dating service if you ask
me. 1 just want all of the young ladies that
have this opportunity to be taking
advantage of all the facilities they have
while they are in college. It's a great time
to explore and find oneself, and I hope most
women find alternatives to having a ring on
their finger and being barefoot and pregnant
while they are still young.

More severe punishments, less repeat offenders

Throughout my life I have been accused
of many things; some of them true and
some of them not so true. In all my life,
however, I have never been accused of being boring.
I believe this to be true for the simple
reason that I always speak my mind.
Frankly, some of the comments even surprise me. This week is no exception. Last
week I visited the extreme of sappiness.
This week we are traveling to the opposite
end of the spectrum, where intolerance and
harshness reign.
In today's society crime can be found
anywhere. From "Harvard-on-the-Hill" to
capitol Hill, illegal activities run rampant.
Why is it in oiir society that crime is so
prevalent? Like so many things, the answer to this question is simple. The steps

to solving the problem are not. The reason
our society is caught in a tailspin of crime is
for the simple fact that we have no shame.
Stop and think for one minute about some
of the ref>orts you see in the media. For example, let us just turn on the imaginary television set next to my computer here in Akeley.
"Today on Geraldo: Pedophiles in Pantyhose and the women who love them."
"I saw that on Sally last week. Change
the channel." Click!
"Tonight on Dateline NBC: President
Clinton implicated in another sex scandal
and Stone Phillips' seven steps to a good
hair day."
"Oh cool! I'll definitely have to watch
that. Stone Phillips has such perfect hair."
Next channel. Click!
"With us tonight is Washington D.C.
mayor Marion Barry, who incidentally is a
former crackhead. So, Mayor Barry, what
do you think of the Major League Baseball
strike?"
"Hey, this should be good. Maybe I'll get
a snack first, though."
No sense of shock at all. There are few
things in this society which outrage us anymore. I have to ask myself why that is, and
I keep coming up with the same conclusion.
Our intolerance is sadly misplaced.
What do I mean by that? While we have
been very adamant in our intolerance of
acts such as smoking in public settings.

killing seals for their fur, passing out condoms to high school kids, and pornography,
we have been seriously lacking in our intolerance of criminal acts like rape and murder.
Crime is rampant because our justice system is too... nice.
So what should be done about it? Fair
question, and the answer is even fairer — I
don't know. The answer to the problem is
multi-faceted, so I can only tell you what I
would like to see. How to achieve it is a
bigger issue. I would like to see harsher
punishment that actually fits the crime —
punishments that bring a sense of shame, of
actual guilt, to a convicted criminal. Some
examples? I would only be too happy.
Drunken Driving: First offense ~ a hefty
fine and a brightly colored license plate to
mark the individual as an offender. Some
states are already exploring this option. I
like it. Second offense ~ you lose your license ~ permanently.
Vandalism: The individual would definitely have to pay a fine equal to the amount
of damage, but is that enough? What about
having to repair the damage? I like the implications of that. It not only brings a sense
of justice, but it saves the taxpayers some
money since the offender wouldn't be paid
for the work.
As.saults: Two words — public caning. I
like the idea. Give the individual a sense
of the pain and humiliation he inflicted on

another. I would wager there would be few
repeat offenders.
Murder: Life imprisonment is not enough.
It seems to me that when people murder
another member of the community, they
should not be sent to a place where they
will receive three meals a day and a bed in
which to sleep, be trained for the work
force, and [>ossibly receive an education on
par with my own. Not only that, but it is all
at the expense of the taxpayer — no cost to
the criminal! Sign me up. In the case of
murder, capitol punishment is the way to
go. Guaranteed there would not be repeat
offenders.
With stricter laws and increased public
awareness of the consequences associated
with a crime, I would argue that the crime
rate in this nation would decrease dramatically. I know if I saw an individual being
caned, I would think long and hard before I
dragged my neighbor down three flights of
stairs simply because he was playing his
music too loud.
I'll take it one step further and really step
into the realm of controversy. Make the
execution of convicted murderers ojjen to
the public. Pay-per-view executions — it
could work. When people are made aware
that there is indeed a harsh price to pay for
their actions, I would argue that one is less,
likely to commit a criminal act. And that is
better for all of us.

Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_

Boxing

The Lock Haven University Boxing
Club/Team continued to show improvement before an enthusiatistic crowd Saturday night at the annual PSU "Nittany
Lion" Collegiate Boxing Invitational
Championship at PSU's White Gymnasium.
The top performance by a Bald Eagle
boxer was turned in by Josh Lander, a
tough 125 pound open division boxer.
Lander scored an upset in decisioning
Brant Dutle from the University of Kentucky.
After a fairly even first round. Lander
took charge midway through the second
round and scored in the third with a series
of combinations.
Lander is scheduled to box the 1995 National (NCBA) Champion, Jose Mendoza,
from the University of Nevada-Reno in
one of Saturday nights featured bouts.
In another upset, Karl Fritz, the Bald Eagle 200 pound heavyweight scored a split
2-1 decision over veteran Sean Jehu of
Shippensburg University.
The bout was close all the way. But
Fritz scored late in the third with straight
right hands to escape with the split decision.
Freshman, Jason Pletcher (156 lb.)
earned three standing eight counts before
the referee stopped the contest with University of Kentucky's Meredith Dowells in

the second round. Pletcher remains undefeated at 3-0 this season. The Lx)ck Haven
native is scheduled to box Brian Hornaman, V.M.I., on Saturday night.
LHU's 172 pounder, Judd Long decisioned Phil Smalls, Shippensburg, 3-0 by
using a left jab and keeping his opponent
on the ropes much of the bout. Long
evened his season record to 1-1. He is
scheduled to box V.M.I.'s Judd Charlton
on Saturday night.
Freshman Chad Forry was awarded a
RSC-2 over Mansfield's John Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald started the bout with a good first
round, earning 20-19 edge on all three
judges' scorecards.
However, Forry caught Fitzgerald with
several sharp jabs and straight rights. Fitzgerald tired and got caught on the ropes
late in the second round with Forry scoring
to the body. Fitzgerald failed to answer
the bell for the third round forcing the referee to award the bout to the Bald Eagle
boxer.
Two of LHU's top boxers lost close decisions. Todd Stiner, 147, the 1994 National
(NCBA) runner-up was upset by PSU's
Mike Francis, 3-0. Francis dropped down
from his usual 156 pound division to win
the close contest. All three judges scored
the bout 59-58.
Stiner lost the first round to the taller
Nittany Lion, but came back to win the
second round using his left jab. With less
than one minute remaining in the bout, it

Freshman Amy Parkes had another stellar performance as the men's and women's
track teams traveled to the seventh annual
Bucknell Classic last Saturday.
Parkes took control of the meet early by
posting the fastest time (8.53 seconds) in
the preliminary heats of the 55 meter high
hurdles, one-tenth of a second ahead of a
Towson State athlete.
In the finals, however, she shifted gears.
Parkes zipped over the hurdles in a time of
8.33 seconds, two-tenths of a second ahead
of the rest of the field.

looked like the Bald Eagle captain had the
bout under control.
Francis, however, scored with several
combinations to the body in the final 30
seconds, keeping Stiner on the defensive,
to win the narrow victory.
It was Stiner's fir.st loss this season after
winning three. He drops he career record
to 11 -3. Stiner will box UN-Reno's rugged
Waylan Lowery on Saturday night in a featured bout.

pounder Chris Moon, from Honolulu, Hawaii, suffered a 3-0 decision loss to PSU's
Preston Pickett.
Moon had a difficult time with the Nittany Lion until midway through the third
round when Moon caught Pickett with
three right crosses. But it was too late for
the Blad Eagle. Moon will box Shippenburg's veteran Rick Dartone on Saturday
night.
LHU's eighth boxer scheduled to compete, freshman Tony Penecale, 190, was
awarded a forfit because his opponent Pat
Stevens, of Mansfield University, was unable to compete for personal reasons.
Penecale will box Mike Galati of Central
Connecticut State University on Saturday
night.
Also tentatively scheduled to box Saturday in preliminary (novice) bouts are
George Conklin (172), Chris Buchinski
(190) and Bryan Evans (156).
"All in all, we performed real well at
PSU," stated Dr. Cox. "both Stiner and
Moon learned from their mistakes, they
both will be back stronger than ever."
The team will host their annual homeshow in the Thomas Field House on Saturday. And according to Cox they wilThave
their work cut out for them.
An "Oustanding Boxer Award" will be
presented by LHU President, Dr. Craig D.
Willis, following the final bout. The

LHU Boxing Club/Team and sanctioned
by the ECBA/NCBA and USA Boxing,

Parkes not only took two-tenths of a second off her personal best time, but also met
the provisional qualifying standard for the
Division II National Championships in
March. Parkes is currently ranked fourth
in the nation.
Besides her hurdling success, Parkes also
placed third in the long jump with a leap of
16 feet, 10 and one-quarter inches.
In the triple jump Natalie Jackson saw
her first competition of the season. She
put together a strong series of jumps and
finished in second place overall (34" 6').
In the distance events Brenda Trimble
and Karen Thrapp both had strong jjerformances. Trimble successfully defended her
Bucknell Classic 5000 meter title from a
year ago, once again lapping the entire field
of runners (19:16.26).
Thrapp ran to a sixth place finish in the
3000 meters with a time of 11:18.39.
Freshman Jamie Noble had a gutsy performance in the same race, finishing in a time
of 11:46. 07 despite a foot injury that is
presumed to be a fracture.
Trimble, Thrapp, Tamara Vreeland and
Acny'X^i'ger also C9rnbined to win tjw.c^'r

The men's distance medly relay of Ben
Steward, Bob Brenner, Greg Rutz and
Steve Kravitz placed as well, finishing a
respectable third in 10:53.8. Steward wa's
the only individual male place winner of
the weekend as he ran a personal best and
ECAC championship qualifying time of
16:02.16 in the 5000 meters.
Freshman Matt Ferchalk also met the
ECAC qualifying standard in the 3000
meter race although he did not place.
Alex Sherwood ran well in the event as
well but finished thirteen-hundredths of
second off the qualifying time.
Aaron Taylor and Brenner finished a few
seconds back but both had respectable races.
Rutz and Andy Welk both improved
their times in the 800 meter race, while
George Hoffner took seven-tenths of a second off his personal best in the 200 meters.
Coach Mark Elliston commented that
injuries seem to be plaguing both teams as
the season's end draws near.
There will be time for some to recuperate
this weekend, however, as only selected
athletes will travel to the meet at Cornell
University.

They call us Mat-Town...

Grapplers look to force another upset
Wrestling
by Jason Hagan
Eagle Eye Sports Editor_
After a week of well needed rest. Head
Coach Carl Poff leads the Mat-Town
Grapplers of LHU into another battle
tonight versus another top NCAA ranked
team.
The stage is set for the Bald Eagles and
the Golden Eagles of Clarion (9-3) to meet
in LHU's Thomas Field Hou.se tonight at
7:30.
The Golden Eagles will be bringing four
top 20 NCAA ranked wrestlers and a team
ranking of tenth just behind Edinboro.
LHU is coming off of two historical
victories. The first, last Thursday was a
first time win over number 13 ranked Penn
State (20-14), which Coach Poff called "the
greatest win of my coaching career." The
second was also a first time win over
number 18 ranked Lehigh University by a
score of 17-14. Both wins launched the
Bald Eagles up from their modest rank 20
up to 16 this week, which Poff had felt
should have been higher.
Poff is very confident that a win over

Clarion tonight would put the team in the
top 10 nationally. He emphasized his
pride in the team by mentioning that he
was expecting the team to win only half of
its matches. He said the reason success
has come to the team was due to excellent
senior leadership.
Many of the team members believe their
success has come from not only the

leadership on the team, but from all of the
support they have recieved from family and
friends. Several team members feel that fan
turnout gets them psyched-up for their
matches.
"We're going into one of our last matches
as an 11 and three team," said Poff, "I've
never been prouder of a team."
Coach Poff said that he feels his team

looks favored on paper. He did say that the
big matches to watch would be at 118 and
134 pounds, and heavyweight.
At 118 LHU co-captain Brad Silimperi
will attempt to seize the day against
Clarion's, Sheldon Thomas who ranks
second nationally.
At 134, LHU's Brian Leitzel, who
registered a pin versus PSU, will take on
Tom Tomeo who holds the third spot in the
national rankings.
Then at heavyweight, Poff expects to see
Joe Eaton go tough with Clarion's, Dan
Payne, who is the third ranked
heavyweight in the country.
Eaton is coming off of two tough losses
to ranked wrestlers, one of which was a
decision to the defending National
Champion, Kerry McKoy of PSU.
The winner of this bout will own the
second place sf)ot in the Eastern Wrestling
League (EWL) standings under Edinboro,
which both teams had lost to earlier this
season.
TTiey have one match next week hosting
EWL rival Bloomsburg. They then begin
their post-season in the EWL tournament at
West Virginia University the weekend of
March 4 and 5. The tournament is the
qualifier for this years NCAA Division-I
Championship Tournament.

Men's Hoops
by Kevin Kovac
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Suddenly, the young University men's
basketball team has gotten itself into a
wonderful run of synchronization.
With their convincing 104-87 victory
over Shippen.sburg in Thomas Field House
Wednesday night, the emerging Bald
Eagles maintained a perfect record over
the past two weeks. They won for the
fourth time in-a-row, a streak that is their
longest of the season.
The Shippensburgh shellacking, along
with LHU's
narrow 63-62 triumph
Saturday night at Clarion, helped boost the
confidence of coach Dave Blank's boys to
its highest level since practice began
October 15. Lock Haven's overall record
creeped three games above the .500 mark,
at 13-10, and
their PSAC-West log
improved to 6-3.
That last figure is an important — and
exciting — one for the Bald Eagles. At 6-3
in conference competition, they currently
sit third in the division and still have
flickering hopes of grabbing one of the two
post-season playoff spots.
Lock Haven certainly has a chance to
sneak into the PSAC playoffs for the first
time in years if its players remain at last
week's playing level. Quality contributions
were made by a number of Bald Eagles.
Not surprisingly, sophomore guard Mike
Shue continued to set the team's standard.

Lady Eagles lose two in a row
by Troy Derkos
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The schedule has not been very kind to
the Lady Eagles basketball team (7-16
overall and 2-7 in the PSAC-West) the last
two weeks. The last four games the Lady
Eagles have played have come against
teams with over 14 wins.
Only two games were scheduled for this
week. But both contests were against the
top two teams in the PSAC-West.
The Lady Eagles lost both games.
Saturday's loss was at the hands of
Clarion University who sports a solid 14-8
overall record, and an even more solid 7-2
PSAC-West record. The game was out of
reach early and the Lady Eagles were sent
packing, 81-53.
Wednesday night the Lady Eagles came
back to the confines of the Thomas Field
House.

Ladies' Hoops
Unfortunately, they would need more
than just home court advantage since they
were taking on Shippensburg who came in
at 17-5 overall and 6-3 PSAC-West.
The Lady Eagles showed obvious spark
early and kept it close for nearly 13
minutes. A Missy Carlson three-ball put
them on top at 18-17. But, then the floor
dropped out from below.
Ship took over and pounded out a 15-1
run. it was "brick-city" for the Lady Eagles
and smooth sailing for Shippensburg. The
shots simply would not fall for the Lady
Eagles. The 26 percent first half shooting
would attest to that.
Ship clearly had the advantage inside.
Three of its top guns stood over 6 foot 1
inch tall. Therefore, it should come as no

surprise that they tallied 32 points.
"The aggressiveness and size inside
really hurt us," Head Coach Frank Scarfo
said.
Ship took a 14 point lead heading into
the half. At that point it was basically in
the books. The closest LHU would get
after the half was 11.
The final score read Shippensburg 85,
Lock Haven 57.
Even optimists would have difficulty
finding something positive on this
evening.
"They're a really good team, who made
us look bad,"Coach Scarfo said.
Steph Troyan had a team-high 14 and
Shannon Bowers finished with 13.
The Lady Eagles will try to break the
four game curse Saturday at 1 p.m. when
California visits Thomas Field House.
Wednesday they travel to Indiana, Pa. to
take on division rival lUP.
