Rural schools to get a * taste of technology'
by Jennifer Johns
EagleEye News Reporter_
Ten Coudersport and Renovo elementary
school teachers will soon be receiving the
benefits of Dr. Susan Ashley's teaching expertise through space-age technology.
The idea, of teaching others through
computers, is one that Dr. Betty Schantz,
project director and associate dean of the
college of education, said she has been
thinking about for a long time. Unfortunately, the technology has not been available until now, she said.
Now, with the help of the Intel Pro-Share
Personal Videoconferencing system and a
video camera attached to a special video
terminal, the Distance Learning program is
a reality, Schantz said.
The interactive program, which will be
carried over telephone lines, will allow the
teachers and Ashley, an associate professor
in the special education and early childhood education department, to see and hear
each other during their weekly session.
The program is designed to instruct
teachers from the Coudersport and Renovo
areas on how to better their teaching techniques in the fields of science, Schantz
said.
The course, which is aimed for teaching
science to primary grades, is a hands-on
learning experience, Ashley said. Each
week the teachers will receive science kits.

which will include materials to be used during the teachers' lessons.
Part of the course requirements of this
program is that the teachers use their classrooms as a learning lab and evaluate each

chosen for this program becau.se of their inaccessibility, due to mountainous terrain,
Schantz said. This terrain causes an inaccessibility to modern resources, Ashley
added.

lesson they teach, Schantz said. The teachers are also asked to submit a videotape of
their classroom lessons.
Coudersport and Renovo schools were

The program will also help the teachers to
advance their degrees. Before this program
was created, many teachers in remote areas,
such as Coudersport and Renovo, could

have only accomplished this through correspondence courses, Ashley said. Through
the program, the teachers will earn three
credit hours towards their advancement.
The identity of Ashley's students will become known to her within the next two
weeks, she said. The teachers for the program are being chosen by the principals of
the schools.
The program is slated to run for 10 weeks
and will begin in March. The program,
which will meet once a week, will conclude in May, Schantz said.
In addition to the weekly lesson, Ashley
"hopes to have the capacity to communicate through e-mail."
The program, which is a first for Lock
Haven, will take place on the fifth floor of
Robinson Learning Center in one of the
computer center's conference rooms, Ashley said.
The day of the week in which the program will take place has not yet been determined, but it will be held right after the
teachers have finished their regular school
day, Ashley said.
Ashley said that the program will give
Lock Haven the recognition of being able
to serve the needs of rural communities and
hopefully, increase enrollment.
This program is possible due to a $30,000
grant from the State System of Higher Education, which received approval in December.

Holocaust is subject of innovative internet teaching
by B. Michael Sheaffer
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
Although Germany surrendered to allied
forces 50 years ago, memories of the Holocaust are still alive in the minds of many
people. The Holocaust was the mass murder of the Jews by the Nazi government of
Germany during World War II. Movies
like Schlindler's List have spawned renewed interest in the Holocaust and Dr.
Gerald Cierpilowski, chair of the elementary and secondary education department,
has done his part to help present the truth
about the Holocaust.
Cierpilowski and his wife's aunt, Caroline
Sadek, a Holocaust survivor, used the internet to talk to students at Battleground Mid-

dle School in Indiana, near Purdue University. The Battleground School District has
a relationship with Purdue University similar to the one our University has with the
Keystone Central School District, Cierpilowski said.
Sadek, 77, spent over seven years away
from her home during this time period.
Soldiers came to her home and told her that
she had one hour to get her belongings together before she was to leave for Siberia,
Cierpilowski said.
The trip to Siberia took over seven
weeks. Once there, she spent 18 more
weeks in a concentration camp, he added.
Sadek, ended up in Africa, where the
American Red Cross found and brought her

Haven.
The internet conversation was set up by
Cierpilowski and a colleague at Battleground Middle School. The Battleground
teacher asked Cierpilowski about the possibility of Sadek discussing the Holocaust
with his students, Cierpilowski said.
Cierpilowski and his colleague worked
out the details of the discussion and the internet conversation began the week before
the beginning of the Spring semester.
The Battleground students would ask
questions to their teacher who then typed
the question in to Cierpilowski and Sadek.
Cierpilowski would then type in Sadek's response to the Battleground students.
The Battleground students greatly appreciated being able to ask questions about the

presented the opportunity to talk to a Holocaust survivor, Cierpilowski said.
The students wrote thank-you notes to
Sadek in appreciation for her time, he added. Joining the thank-you notes was a
press release about the conversation from
their local newspaper.
Cierpilowski gained interest in the Holocaust after spending a semester abroad in
1990. He visited concentration camps in
Poland and became interested in the subject
since he knew his wife's family had experienced concentration camps during the war.
Cierpilowski said he would be interested
in being able to do this for classes in the
future, depending on the availability of Sadek.

SCC inducts new senators

Sprins Break

by Masa Ueda
Eagle Eye News Editor_
The Student Cooperative Council (SCC) met last evening for the second time this semester, welcoming eight newlyelected senaters into the senate. The senators repeated a pledge after Vice President Douglas Bicket.
Following the pledge, the senators were given hand out instructions of SCC 0[>erations procedures. Returning senators welcomed them as the executive board gave their routine reports.
Recording Secretary Samuel Stover urged every member of the SCC to get an electronic (E-mail) account, because information will be communicated by the internet, he said. He further asked them to check their E-mail on a daily basis.
Stover also explained the attendance policy in affect for SCC meetings. He said that although he did not want to be
too strict with the attendance, noting there was an attendance problem, he asked each members not to abuse the allowed
excused absences more than three times.
Several announcements were made concering opening positions for newly created committees and those empty positions created by parting members.
Corresponding Secretary Jamie Pirano announced that "for the first time in the history" there will be a committee
headed by a corresponding secretary whose job includes heading fund raising efforts for the University from local state
representitives.
"It's a new commitee and it's gonna be an exciting one," Pirano said. The committee would remind local politicians
to allocate money for the University budget during the budget season.
The public relations officer's position will be open as present Public Relations Officer Janel Clayton will be leaving,
she announced.
Residence Hall Association (RHA) Liason Ryan Hoff made several announcements regarding upcoming events. A
ski trip to the Ski Sawmill Resort, in Morris, is scheduled for Sunday, and those who are interested should contact Hoff.
Food Committee Chairperson Ryan Zettle said the committee will be discussing a new flex dollar policy for the Eagle
Rock Cafe at Bentley Dining Hall.
Then topic for the remainder of the evening changed to the proposed consitiutional revision. The SCC is expected to
discuss this subject through and through in the coming meetings before it goes to a final vote.

What was happening at LHU?

Clinton speaks of
middle class

Twenty years ago —Feb.3,1975

KUTZTOWN - President Bill Clinton
traveled to Kutztown University (KU)
Jan. 25 to speak about the "Middle Class
Bill of Rights," a plan to help middle
class families afford education.
Clinton said he chose KU because he
was impressed with the community efforts, including entrepreneurial development and global education center ~ the
work done for small and minority businesses.
He addressed 7,000 students, teachers,
school officials and area residents about
his administration's education plans in
the "Middle Class Bill of Rights."
Clinton used KU as an example for other schools to be successful.
"He was impressed with our programs.
I think it says a lot about all the state
schools. His coming here and recognizing them could help a lot," KU junior
Mary Adams said.
"What our job is to make more success
stories, like the programs 1 see here,"
Clinton said. "It is to empower more
schools to do what this one did. To drop
their categories and open their walls and
reach out to all kinds of people and make
education a community enterprise and a
lifetime enterprise."
KU was the perfect venue for his proposal because 75 percent of the student
body receive financial aid, according to
Scott K. Shewell, press secretary of the
Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.

Edinboro blaze
leaves 18 homeless
EDINBORO - Red Cross Members
and EUP Director of Student Services
Gary C. Jamison held a meeting last
Monday in an effort to better aid the 18
students who fell victim to a January 12
fire in their 207 Dundon Road apartment
last weekend.
According to Jamison, efforts by many
university offices are being made to aid
in the students' recovery ~ including
temporary or permanent dormitory accomidations.
Temporary and permanent housing in
dormitories was offered by EUP Residence Life spokesperson Kimberly Kennedy.
"We assume that those students who
are already living off-campus do so for a
reason," .said Kennedy, "But we are
more than willing to grant accomodations to those in need on a short or long
term basis."
The fire, which started in a basement
apartment, is believed by fire officials to
have been the result of a burning candle
left unattended. The fire was confined to
the lower level of the dwelling in a joint
effort by Edinboro and surrounding area
fire departments, but smoke and water
filled the rest of the building.

welcome.
On both Tuesday and Wednesday, February 4 and 5, Rabbi Shevlin will also address several classes of the college, to

Fifteen years ago — Feb.8,1980
Wednesday, Feb. 6, 1980 was officially
declared to be "Support the Hostages day"
by Lock Haven's Mayor, William Eisemann. The Mayor made the declaration at
a community rally held at Triangle Park.
The rally, which was sponsored by the
All-Greek Council, was held principally to
show support for the 50 American citizens

being held hostage in Iran. An estimated
250 people showed up for the rally.
The rally began at 5 p.m. when approximately 125 people, primarily Lock Haven
State College (LHSC) students, gathered in
front of Russell Hall. These people then
marched down West Main Street and met a
crowd that had already gathered at the park.
Joe Meszaros, a LHSC student, opened the
ceremony by playing the national anthem.
Then Mayor Eisemann, Judge Carson
Brown, LHSC Professor, Dr. Ken Cox,
Rev. Charles Mason, and Father Joseph
Gaborek spoke for unity in support of the
freedom of the hostages.

Ten years ago ~ Feb.l2,1985
Gil Eagles, mentalist and hypnotist extroadinaire, blended comedy with his special
talents to amaze a rather skeptical crowd at
the University's Price Performance Center,
Thursday evening.
Eagles was quick to quiet any skeptics
doubts, by opening the show with some
simple displays of Extra Sensory Perception
(ESP), such as identifying the amount of
change in an audience member's hand, and
matching numbers with entire sections of
the audience.

To further convince the crowd that ESP
does exist, he called on student volunteers, Harold Wells and Bubbles Whittington to assist in blindfolding him. Eagles proceeded to identify bills and their
serial numbers.

Five years ago - Feb.9,1990
Causing much speculation and controversy, head wrestling coach Neil Turner resigned effective immediately last Tuesday. Assistant coach Tom Justice will be
the interim coach for the remainder of the
season, according to Director of Athletics
Sharon Taylor.
"He [Turner] just said he personally felt
better doing this and didn't care to remain
with the program at this time," Taylor
said.
Taylor said Turner was offered a position
as coordinator of sports camps and summer conferences.
"He's a great organizer and promoter,"
Taylor said.
Taylor said Turner is taking a leave of
absence until the end of the month or an
indefinite period of time.
The Express reported of possible NCAA

Capital Campaign edges toward goal
by Jennifer Algoe
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
The University's Capital Campaign, a solicitation drive aimed toward raising funds
for various campus projects, has neared its
goal of $2.5 million.
The campaign has raised $2.2 million of
its goal. Many of the individual projects
have reached their monetary goals, but several remain undersubscribed, said Jerry
Updegraff, vice president for advancement.
Campaign Chair Les Noelk, also a University trustee, said that "the support from
the local community, parents, and alumni
has been outstanding." He al.so stated that
"the community recognizes the value of the
University and the contributions that the
institution makes in the areas of education
and economic development."
The University brought in over $400,000
in pledges and gifts from alumni and parent
contributions.

Updegraff said that support from the employees and Board has been "absolutely
positive" and parents have been "very supportive."
The alumni support has also been very
good, Updegraff added. Of 10,000 alumni
names, 6,000 alumni have been reached and
2,100 have pledged to the campaign.
This year, professional and corporate efforts will be focused on. This focus of the
solicitation drive is still continuing, Updegraff said.
Dr. Mickey Greenberg, a local physician,
leads the efforts of the professional campaign, and Ralph Lovette, a former Hammermill plant manager, heads the corporate
track campaign. Ron Jury, a 1972 alumnus,
University Trustee, and Department of
Commerce Press Secretary, led the alumni
effort this past year.
One of the greatest successes in raising
funds has been for Hubert Jack Stadium,
which will feature artificial turf and an

unclerthedtrectionof

eight-lane track. Half of the funds needed
for this project must be raised by the University and the other half will come from
contributions and partnerships, Updegraff
said.
A partnership has been formed with Keystone Central School District, which will
use the track for a high school team, Updegraff said. Other intramural and intercollegiate sports will also benefit.
According to Updegraff, projects that
have been met include the Jack Stadium
projects, scholarships, property acquisition,
and renovations.
Undersubscribed projects include the
Ulmer Hall renovations, funds for various
academic equipment, Stevenson Library,
and the International Program, he said.
One hundred eighty thousand dollars has
been undesignated and may be spread
across the undersubscribed projects, Updegraff added.

Thinking of the

consequences...

Fire alarms are for fires
In last week's Police Beat there were two reports about the pulling of a fire alarm. In both
cases there was no fire.
Pulling a fire alarm is a serious thing. When
there is no fire, this not only wastes people's
time it also could take firefighters away from a
real catastrophe. Do you really want to be responsible for causing someone else to be injured
or die because the firefighters had to respond to
a false alarm?
Sure maybe you think it might be fun to wake
up your entire dorm at 1:43 a.m., but next time
think of the consequences. Everyone likes to
have a little fun, but it should not come at the
expense of others.

Bentley does exceptional job
To the Editor,
After reading the article
written in the December
issue of the Lock Haven

newspaper,
entitled "Students voice
complaints about Bentley," I felt the need to
write about my experience with Bentley.
The food service staff
has done an exceptional
job in providing for my
dietary needs. I came to
Lock Haven with major
restrictions in the foods I
could eat ~ because I am
severely allergic to milk
and eggs (including margarine, mayonnaise, butter and yes even ICE
CREAM, as well as
many other foods.)
I couldn't believe it
when, in the letter, Bentley was told its selection
"needed more variety."
You're

owes Bentley Dining
Service a big thanks.
The food-service department deserves a lot
of positive recognition
for its hard work. Bentley does not have an
easy job, and it is one
that, too often, is criticized. After talking to a
manager at Bentley, I
can say with assurance
that LHU's food service
department will accept
advice from the student
population
and
will
gladly listen to constructive criticism.
The food-service staff
is not a Burger King

individual attention and
friendly manner makes
for a more personal atmosphere, just what I
like about the small rural school setting.
Sincerely,

A New Year's celebration across the ocean
by Masa Ueda
Eagle Eye News Editor_

People in Tivoli, Italy, were anxious for
the moment, a moment of transition from
1994 to 1995. About 20 people gathered at
the fifth-story veranda to celebrate the moment with a glass of wine in one hand and a
firecracker in the other. The panoramic
view from this point was beyond description. People looked down on the fields
spreading at the foot of the hill, illuminated
with thousands of neon lights and flashing
firecrackers flying up everywhere in the
city of Rome.
The year never ends in Italy without firecrackers. Everybody who was old enough
to handle firecrackers, as well as those who
were not too old to handle them, kept lighting these tiny explosives after it got dark on
December 31.
The kinds of firecrackers in Italy are as
variable as the kinds of pasta. Children
tend to play with small ones attached to a
stick, which usually last for 30 seconds or
so. The more mature among the population
hold bigger firecrackers resembling guns
on battleships from which shoot colorful
balls of fire into the sky.
As midnight approaches, the level of
sound and the amount of light climbed up
to the peaks of the surrounding mountains.
It was like watching a sea with thousands
of tiny sparks rising into the air. When
looking at this black ocean-like view, onlookers might find it hard to believe the veranda on which they stand faces Rome

There seems to be a distinct difference
between Rome and large American cities.
Rome is a large city. It is the capital of
Italy and ranks fifth in the world's economy. The city was formerly the capital of
the Roman Empire.
There is, however, a sense of difference
in the atmosphere the city generates. It
may not take a long time to figure out why
this is so. Apart from the fact that Rome
has a far longer history, there seems to be a
distinct difference between Rome and
American cities.
There are no skyscrapers in Rome. This
simple fact contributes to the different atmosphere created by the city ~ a nation's
capital without skyscrapers.
Everything is small in Italy. Skyscrapers
symbolize America in terms of wealth and
power. Americans tend to value big things
over small ones. In Italy people seem to be
saying being big is not always good.
As the T.V. announced the opening of the
new year, Italians were kissing one another's cheeks, followed by big hugs
among practically everybody who was on
the veranda
Italians love to express their feelings toward each other physically. Kisses to both
cheeks are everyday occurrences and do
not have any romantic implication, for this
passionate greeting happens between
friends of the same sex. They tend to walk
hand in hand as a sign of good friendship.
It took awhile to give hugs and kisses to
everybody. Sometimes people gave a second kiss to their best friends, but no one
seemed to care at a celebration such as this.

The sounds of firecrackers reached their
height at midnight and then seemed to fade
away with the New Year's arrival. People
were busy greeting everybody.
Tivoli, a city just 40 minutes from the city
of Rome, is on a hill. Historically, it is
known as a retreat for Roman aristocrats.
Attracting tourists from all over the world is

D'Este, located in the central part of the

All over the world there are different
ways to celebrate the new year.
Americans gather at the Rockfellar Plaza
in New York City to count down the last
seconds of the passing year. Japanese, on
the other hand, go to nearby Buddist temples to celebrate the New Year. There they
ring an iron bell usually 10 times as big as
the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia exactly 108
times. Chinese are also known to be firecracker lovers when it comes to the New
Year's celebration.
Celebrating the coming of the New Year
is a happy time which reflects the characteristics of people all over the worid.

a FOX addict
Tina's
Territory

Even though most college students don't
like to admit it, we and the people in our
generation are addicted to those weekly
shows such as Melrose Place and Beverly
Hills 90210. I have to confess that 1 sometimes plan my schedule around these
shows.
A lot of people may be thinking, "Tina,
you are such a bright girl. How could someone like you, who is rather cynical, watch
Cheez Whiz like that?" I know, it surprises
me, too. Yet I asked myself the same question the other day, and I found an astounding reason as to why I plan my Mondays
and Wednesdays accordingly.
Well, it all happened like this. What first
attracted me to 90210 when I was a freshman in high school was the appearance of
Luke Perry. Then I started looking at the
trendy way the women on the show
dressed, and I started emulating their style.
As you can see, I first liked the show for
primarily superficial reasons.
I started liking the plot when Brenda, who
was played by Shannon Dougherty, and
Dylan (Luke Perry) fell in love. Being the
romantic that I am, I felt they were meant
for each other. Even though the unrealistic
setting of the whole thing bothered me, I
still found myself watching, mesmerized
by the processed cheese.
Then along came Melrose Place. I got
into that show more forcefully, even though
it was as unreal as 90210 (if not more). I
liked the idea that the actors, as twentysomethings, were surviving in the real
world with perfect apartments and a pool in
sunny Los Angeles. It made me escape
from my everyday problems for an hour
and devote myself to theirs.
Which is exactly why I watch these two
shows: they are an escape from everyday
life. They are supposed to be perfect, because that's the way we, as the angry
youth, want life to be. There couldn't be
one reader who is a devout fan of these
shows who would disagree that they would
trade their life in for one of the principal
character's for at least one day. _
The characters on these shows represent
everything youths want out of life. They
have fast cars, lots of money, good looks,
and they have each other for support. If we
get a craving for these ideals (and who
wouldn't?), we turn the T.V. set to FOX and
wait for our shows. At least now I have an
acceptable answer as to why someone with
a great mental capacity watches these
shows.

Getting a grasp on the meaning of love

Welcome to another week of Reese's
Pieces. This week, with Valentine's Day
(and my deadline) fast approaching, 1
could think of no better topic to write
about than love.
Of course, love. What else other than
love would one think of at the mention of
Valentine's Day? I'll tell you. Valentine's
Day is the most romantic day of the year ~
a day when new love blossoms and old
love rekindles, a time of the year when
loved ones exchange flowers and gifts,
cards and candy, and candlelight dinner
promises that few intend to keep. And in

all this pomp and ceremony, the true spirit
of the holiday is muddled. In all this world,
there is no concept more elusive or fleeting
than love.
If but for one minute, close your eyes and
listen to the world around you. You might
be amazed by what you hear. In the time it
has taken me to cofnpose this column, I
have heard my fellow
students speak of
"love" - "I love that
show, I love this pizza, I love the snow,"
and at least a half dozen other such comments pertaining to
love.
Is it possible to love
an inanimate object or
an idea? I suppose it
is, but what of true
love? In the short
amount of time I have
listened
to
those
around me, I have
come to the conclusion that few people

understand the concept of love.
I say love ~ true love — is the selfless act
of giving yourself over to another and immersing one's self in the life of another so
fully that a bond is created. This bond often
brings great pain and requires tremendous
personal sacrifice; yet somehow it manages
.^
to produce f i l ings of incredible joy and satiating
self
fulfillment.
Is that possible? Logically,
no.
But love,
like so many other things of our
world, does not
follow the natural laws of logic.
Perhaps that is
why it fascinates
so many. Perhaps that is why
it has become so
important to me..
Love has become a central

part of my existence. The love I share with
my family and those I call friends runs
deeper than any oceanic trench; yet this
love i could conceivably survive without.
What love do I speak of then that is the
food for my soul? Sara? My bond with her
runs deeper still than the ones I share with
family and friends. It is an honest love, one
that, although doomed to failure from the
first meeting, has continued to grow and
flourish. My love for her has become a
bond that would take a hundred Sampsons
to break. Even so, as desolate as life would
seem, I could continue on.
What then is this love I speak of? Arielle.
This love is as deep as the universe is vast - a bond so powerful that even God, with
all his infinite power and wisdom, could not
sever. A bold statement? Granted, it is,
but that does not change the fact that the
love I speak of is indeed that rich.
Love. Is there in all the world a concept
more fleeting, more elusive? For those who
have opened their hearts the answer is an
easy one. For those who haven't...

Rapper KRS-One was the featured star at a concert in Price Performance Center on Saturday, Feb. 4.
KRS-One, accompanied onstage with a DJ and another rapper, performed some of his songs which
ranged over a 10-year period.
At several intervals during the concert, KRS-One stopped the music and recited a rap-like poetry involving many subjects ranging from the government to Black History Month.
His experience of being homeless and living in a shelter in the Bronx led KRS-One to his current style
of rap which focuses on social issues such as nuclear war prevention and urban violence.
KRS-One is known best for his collaborations with Boogey Down Productions, but has also done many
individual works, including his CD's entitled "Criminal Minded," "Sex and Violence," and his most recent, "Return of the Boom Bap." In addition to working with such artists as REM and the Neville Brothers, his songs have also appeared on the "Menace II Society" and "CB4" soundtracks.
Hip-hop culture and his music, which he feels is "rebellious music, not gangster music," have been the
topics of many lectures KRS-One has given at such universities as Harvard and Yale. Due to these lectures, KRS-One has been nicknamed "The Teacher."
The concert lasted a little over an hour and opened with three men from-Penn State performing some of
their own songs. The men also did a rendition of the oldies hit "I Only Have Eyes For You" for the small
but enthusiastic crowd.
"It was great," commented Chuck Hess, a University student, when asked about his reaction to the
concert.

Records fall at Dickinson Invitational...

Eagles run away with victory
by Aaron Russell
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_

^lubek

Eagles soared and records fell as the
men's and women's indoor track teams
took the Dickinson Invitational by storm
last Sunday.
Junior Mark Reitz started things off early
by breaking the two-year-old school record
in the 55 meter dash. Reitz bested Dirk
Weaver's record of 6.66 seconds in the
finals when he won the race in 6.64
seconds.
Next it was sophomore Amy Yarger's
turn in the 800 meter dash. Yarger drafted
off a fellow competitor for 500 meters
before implementing a final kick and
winning by almost five seconds. Her time
of 2:21.9 seconds demolished her own
school record of 2:23.35 seconds set last
year.
Yarger also led Jami Boyce, Teresa
Falcone and Amy Parkes to an eight and a
half second victory in the 4x400 meter
relay (4:24.5).
In addition to the 4x400 meter relay,
Parkes also assisted Falcone, Tamara
Vreeland and Holly Fantaskey post a
victory in the 4x200 meter relay (1:53.8).

In the 55 meter high hurdles Parkes beat
her nearest competitor by six tenths of a
second, a margin of victory that is
generally unheard of in the event.
She also entered the long jump where
she placed second (16 feet, 5 1/2 inches)
and the high jump where she placed fifth
(4'-8").
Besides her part in the two winning
relays, Falcone also won the high jump
(5'-2"), placed fifth in the 55 meter high
hurdles (9.5 seconds) and finished sixth in
the long jump (14'-7 1/4").
After breaking the 55 meter dash record,
Reitz helped the 4x200 meter relay team of
Jason Lloyd, Shawn Ivie and Steve Kravitz
to a second place finish. Their time of
1:36.7 was a mere one and a half seconds
out of first place.
Kravitz also placed second in the 400
meter dash (51.8) and 200 meter race
(23.9) and anchored the 4x400 meter relay
team to victory (3:33.9) on the final lap.
Other members of the team were Shawn
Ivie (also fifth in the 55m dash in 6.8

seconds), Andy Welk and Greg Rutz. Rutz
also placed fifth in the 800 meter race with
a time of 2:06.9 seconds.
The distance events proved to be
competitive once again for both teams. In
the 5000 meter race alone the men placed
four athletes in the top six while the women
won three of the top four spots.
Matt Ferchalk was third for the men
(16:35), followed by Alex Sherwood in
fourth (16:35), Bob Brenner in fifth (16:36)
and Aaron Taylor in sixth (16:36.5). In all,
less than two seconds separated the four.
Brenda Trimble won her first race of the
year by capturing the 5000 meter title in

19:35.2 seconds, nearly half a minute
ahead of teammate Jamie Noble who
finished in second. Mindy Lewis ran a
strong race as well, capturing fourth place
in 20:29.4.
Ben Steward was the final place finisher
amongst the distance team as he finished
fourth in the 1500 meters with a time of
4:13.8.
Freshman Ryan Gooch won the pole
vault by clearing 13' -0" and teammate
Neil Raymond placed third with a vault of
12'-6".
In other field events, Kyle Waite placed
second in the shot put with a throw of
46'-6 1/2". Andy Loucks placed sixth in
the event with a put of 39'-7 1/2".
Freshman Chad Warren finished third in
the triple jump (39'-0 1/2") and sixth in the
long jump (19'-6 1/4") while Aaron
Wynings finished fourth in the high jump
(6'-2"). Marc Clausen also placed fourth
in the 55 meter high hurdles with a time of
8.8 seconds.
Holly Fantaskey and Amy Kerin were
the final place winners for the women.
Fantaskey placed second in the high jump
(5'-0") while Kerin finished third with a
Ieapof4'-10".
The track teams will travel to Bucknell
University tomorrow where they- expect
their toughest competition of the season.
Both track and field events are slated to
begin at 11 a.m.

Bald Eagles dunk two on the road
by Keviq Kovac
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter^
The ingredients for disaster were present
in the University men's basketball team's
pair of games in the past week, but Coach
Dave Blank's boys overlooked them and
scored back-to-back victories.
Last Saturday's road contest with
divisional foe Slippery Rock was the Bald
Eagles' first brush with heartache. They
had to find a way to win a game in a hostile
environment on a night where their number
one scorer, sophomore Mike Shue, was
bottled up like Evian.
Shue, who entered the matchup averaging
over 24 ppg in conference play, managed to
score just three points Saturday on 1 of 7
shooting. That type of performance by a
go-to guy certainly never bodes well for a
team, but on this occasion the rest of the
LHU cagers stepped up.

'Men'^ ^oopA
Paced by Chad McKinney's 24 points and
Dan D'Angelo's work-manl-ike 15, the
Bald Eagles were able to pound out an
82-79 triumph. Shawn Crissman (13
points) and Chris Daley (12 pwints) also
helped the young Lock Haven squad stay
ahead of Slippery Rock just enough to get
the job done.
The Slippery Rock conquest, which
probably was clinched by LHU's clutch 19
of 20 shooting night from the foul line,
pushed the Bald Eagles' overall record to
the .500 level at 10-10. They improved to
4-3 in PSAC-West competition.
Lock
Haven's
Wednesday
night
non-conference game at Philadelphia Bible
saw them worrying at pre-game for another
reason: they were forced to play without

three of their main contributors.
^
McKinney, point guard Leo Skorupa and
shooting guard Chris Daley were all
suspended for the contest after they were
disciplined for violating a University
residence hall policy.
Nevertheless, LHU was able to dominate
the action. They turned their 40-31
half-time lead into a final blowout score of
90-57.
Shue was back in form against
Philadelphia, scoring 20 points on 8 of 20
shooting. His output was matched by that
of freshman Dan Welker, who had one of
his best games of the season.
Nick Bielak added 14 points and
Crissman netted 10 for the Bald Eagles,
who inched above .500 for the first time in
a couple of weeks. Their next chance to
climb even further above the satisfactory
line comes tomorrow night when they visit
conference rival Clarion.

Unpredictable.
The word has become synonymous with
the 1994-95 Lady Eagle basketball team.
Every week has been an emotional
rollercoaster for this squad. This week was
especially confusing.
First, the Lady Eagles got blown off the
court by Slippery Rock (12-8) over the
weekend. Then, on Monday they stunned
East Stroudsburg on ESU's home floor.
The win was an absolute shocker. For
starters. East Stroudsburg was ranked 13 in
the nation. Add the fact that ESU had a
23-game home winning streak. And if that
is not enough, the Lady Eagles entered the
game at 0-9 on the road!
"The win was huge," Head Coach Frank
Scarfo said. "We kind of caught them
licking their chops being a little
overconfident and looking ahead to the
Eastern Conference playoffs."
Missy Carlson led the way with 21
points. Amy Nickles followed suit with 20
points and 13 boards.
So after the big win everything appeared

The Lady Eagles hung tough throughout
the game but they fell short, 53-47.
The Lady Eagles trailed by as much as
14 with seven minutes left. But a 10-2

Mercyhurst sealed the game and yet
another tough loss for the Haven.
The sharpshooting evident on Monday
was absent on this evening. The Lady
Eagles could only manage 33 percent
shooting. But Mercyhurst did not do
much better as they only hit on 37 percent
of their shots. Only Carlson managed
double digits in points. She finished with
16 to go along with nine rebounds.
"I have to give credit to Mercyhurt,"
Coach Scarfo said. "If you hold a team to
53 points, you should be able to win."
Things will not get any easier for the
Lady Eagles this week. On Saturday they
travel to Clarion (13-7) who sports a very
impressive 6-1 PSAC-West record. Then,
on Wednesday they will take on
Shippensburg University which is 16-5
and second in the PSAC-West.
To make matters worse, the Lady
Eagles will be without the services of
starter Karen Alkins who is out for the
year with a knee injury.
Wednesday's game is slated for 6 p.m. in

UPSET!!!!
by Jason Hagan
Eagle Eye Sports Editor
A year has passed since the Bald Eagles
of LHU baUled with the NCAA Division 1
powerhouse, Nittany Lions of Penn State.
A year has passed since the Bald Eagle
grapplers were cut short of an upset, losing
19-18.
This time 20 years of efforts came to a
cilmax last night at PSU Rec Hall. For the
first time in the history of PSU, LHU duals,
the Bald Eagles came away with a 20-14
victory.
The Bald Eagles, who round out the top
NCAA Div. I poll ranking at 20th, according to head coach, Carl Poff, appeared to
be "as healthy as they have been all season."
They just came off of a victory over
West Virginia University by a score of 287, which by any standard is a large margin
versus a team like WVU, which coach Poff
agreed and added, "They are always tough
and can never be underestimated."
But last night the Bald Eagles brought
their wrestlers to PSU "mentally ready as
ever," according to Poff.
Poff felt the key matchups would be at
134, 142, 150, 158, and 177 pounds, where
Poff said the matches could go either way
and were vital to an upset.
Senior Brad Silimperi led the attack with
a major decision over John Strittmatter 144. Silimperi said of the teams victory,
"This is a great win for the team, our
coach, the University, and the townspeople.
I'm just proud to be from LHU."
LHU Shaun Husic lost a decision by a
score of 7-4. Then at 134, LHU's Brian
Leitzel (13-6) brought the small crowd of
LHU fans to a roar when he pinned his opponent, Greg Fendler, in 2:17 minutes.
Leitzel said that he was not sure who he

Ladies stroke to PSAC tourney

Eagle Eye Sports Editor_
After a good lead off the starting blocks
this season, the Lady Eagles wrapped up
their winning season with an overall record
of 8-1.
The team met with PSAC powerhou.se
Shippensburg last Saturday and tried to
protect their perfect record. But the outcome was not in their favor. The team
held on, but in the end took a loss to Shippensburg 143-105.
Coach Tom Justice said that overall he
was very pleased with the team's performance this season.
"It's been an outstanding season," Justice said. "They've done a remarkable job,
but we've got a long way to go to beat
Ship, in the future."
But Saturday's meet was not just a mark
in the "L" column for the Lady Eagles. Il
was also a chance for the ladies to qualify
for the PSAC Championships.

SwimmiHf
Six of the swimmers, Katie Bonner, Carrie Comans, Carla Ford, Beth Lloyd, Missy
Tandlmayer, and Meg Wetterau, will head
to West Chester University Feb. 17 to compete in the tournament.
Bonner, a freshman, will be swimming
the 100 and 200 breaststroke and the 200
IM. Comans qualified for the 100 and 200
backstroke and the 400 IM.
Ford will swim the 200 butterfly, while
Lloyd qualified for the 100, 200, and 500
freestyle, the 100 butterfly, and the 200 IM.
Wetterau and Tandlmayer will be going
along to help in the relays.
Justice says that the ladies are very
strong swimmers all around, and that they
are hoping to do well at the tournament.
He says that the only strategy they have
is to drop time and swim well. "You have
got to drop time in swimming," he says.

"You don't see miracles occur. You, see
people with tremendous ability."
Justice says that the team has the ability
to swim and that they are looking to drop
some times in order to do well at the tournament.
Last year the team was ranked last at the
tournament. This year he said he hopes to
see them ranked higher than some of the
other teams.
Justice says that next year looks promising for the Lady Eagles. Since there are no
seniors on the team, most, if not all, of the
11 members should be returning.
"We need a greater depth in the team,"
Justice says. "We need more swimmers,
and we need more speed and distance," he
said, "But we should stay strong."
This is the best season that has ever been
recorded at LHU for swimming. Justice
says that they would like to continue with
their success in future years.
But now the team heads to the PSAC
Championships with an 8-1 record overall
and a 5-1 record versus PSAC opponents.
