Domestic violence warrants attention
by Cynthia Graham
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
The Hilton S.A.F.E. (Stopping Abu.se
For Everyone) House, formerly called the
Clinton County Women's Center, will kick
off this year's annual National Domestic
Violence Awareness Month, observed during the month of October, with a candlelight vigil on October 10 at the Triangle
Park, located beside the 34 West Main
Street building, at 7:30 p.m.
According to Lisa Zerbe, community
educator and University student, the vigil
will be held "in memory of women who
suffered and died from domestic violence,
and in celebration of the work that is being
done to stop abuse."

A survivor sp>eakout, Of>en to students
and the public, is also scheduled for that
evening.
At the speakout anyone who has survived domestic abuse will be given the
opportunity to talk, about their exfteriences
with domestic violence.
According to Zerbe, the organization
was founded in 1976 as the Women's
Center. It recently changed its name to
accommodate both male and female victims of domestic violence.
The Hilton S.A.F.E. House is a nonprofit organization, comprised of staff and
volunteers, which provides a host of services for the community.
it offers shelter to those in fear for their
lives; one-on-one counseling; support
groups; legal advocacy; a 24-hour hotline.

at 748-9509, and companionship for legal
and medical situations.
Zerbe said the group's mission is to
"eliminate personal and institutional violence, through supportive and cooperative
practices in all aspects of individual programs and collective efforts."
Many activities are planned in observance of National Domestic Violence
Awareness Month, including a program to
be held in the Parsons Union Buitlding
(PUB) Multi-Purpose Room on October 29,
at 7:30 p.m.
The purpose of the program is to educate students on date rape and the lewly
discovered date rape drug, Rohypnol.
On October 8-14, there will be a showcase in the window of Stevenson Library
with information about domestic violenbe.

University receives distance education grant
by Brian Plosidna
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
Imagine being able to take a class at a
University when the class is not even
offered there. A grant from International
Paf>er will now make this a reality to the
students of this university.
International Pa{)er recently granted the
University two thousand dollars. The
grant will support distance education technology. It will be used with instructional
teaching methods in science education for
practicing teachers pursuing a master of
education degree at the University.
Dr. Phelps, vice-president of Finance
and Administration said, "The grant will be
used to enhance the ability to connect to
distant sights."
The Intel Proshare Video Conference
System has been used by the University in
the past for distance learning initiatives
with teachers in Renovo and Coudersport.
Under the leadership of Dr. Susan
Ashley, professor of early childhood education, the project will continue to expand
and develop to reach more teachers in rural
areas interested in enhancing their educational leadership skills.
The grant will support new professional

Bloomsburg under
construction
BLOOMSBURG - Bloomsburg
University's steam line project Is now in
progress and will be noticeably occupying
campus until the end of next summer, quite
possibly extending into the fall of 1997
There are two phases into which the
entire project has been divided. Phase II is
only in the beginning stages.
Roads, sidewalks, grass, shrubs, and
trees will be uprooted as the trenches for
the new steam line are built. Trenches will
be 10 feet wide and 15 feet deep and will
contain the large piping necessary for carrying steam heat to the buildings throughout Bloomsburg University's campus. A
much larger trench will be dug for phase II
of the project. This trench will accommo
date a tunnel that is eight feet in diameter
and 1,000 feet long. The tunnel will allow
for easier and safer maintenance access in
the years to come.
Student reactions are generally negative concerning the project.

? What was happening at LHU ?
Twenty years ago • Oct. 1,1976
The Lock Haven Organization for the
Reform of Marijuana Laws (LORML) is
playing an active role in the battle against
what they consider unjust laws regarding
the possession of marijuana.
A major goal of this student organization is the decriminalization of marijuana
possession.
Under the present Pennsylvania law,
according to Patrolman Richard Hepner, a
person convicted of possessing under one
ounce of marijuana is subject to a $100 fine
and/or up to 30 days in jail. LORML ho[>es
to make possession of under one ounce
punishable by no more than a $100 civil
fine, which could not be entered on the
defendant's criminal record.
Pennsylvania is one of eight states in
the process of decriminalizing marijuana
possession. According to a spokesperson
from LORML, a number of bills urging
decriminalization are currently on the floor
of the state legislature.
Medical reports and other medical
studies continue to show that marijuana is
the least harmful drug used in this country.
It is less harmful than alcohol or tobacco.
LORML is a completely confidential
organization, in no way affiliated with law
enforcement. There is no membership list
for the organization.

Ten years ago - Oct, 7,1986
Students who want to get loans to help
pay for spring semester college bills should
fill out the forms now, according to Dr.
William Irwin, Director of Student
Financial Aid.
Irwin said that if President Reagan signs
the Financial Aid Reauthorization Bill that
the House and the Senate have already
passed, it will be more difficult for many
students to receive a Guaranteed Student
Loan (GSL).
President Reagan will probably sign the
bill said Irwin, but he added that students
will be able to use the older, more lenient
standards to get a loan, if they complete
their forms up to 30 days after the President
signs the bill.
The new standards of this bill say that
the GSL will now be completely based on
need.
All students who want financial aid must
complete financial aid forms. These completed forms must include all of their family's income and assets including home
value.
These new standards are going to keep
many students from getting loans because
with assets added in, students and their families will have too much money to qualify as
needy, according to Irwin.
The bill does however raise the amount
that the neediest students can borrow.

Five years ago - Oct. 41991
After an hour and a half of deliberation
last night, the Student Cooperative Council
(SCC) Executive Board called for an executive session to further discuss proposals
concerning a lack of senator seats.
At the second Senate meeting of the
semester, members of the Executive Board
closed the meeting to all guests due to a
discussion concerning a proptosal to fill the
14 vacant senator seats.
"We had a lack of student involvement
in the senator elections and the fact that
elections were held in the beginning of the
semester is the reason for the lack of seats,"
said SCC President Kelly Beck.
Charles Massie Jr., a senator, issued the
proposal which would allow an extension
for any new student who is eligible to sign
up to become a senator.
Ten voted in favor of the proposal,
while seven were against it. There was one
abstention.
The purpose of the proposal is to fill the
vacant Senate seats until the Spring of 1992
Senate elections, according to VicePresident J. Chris Brown.
To become a Senator, students must
obtain 50 signatures on a [jetition. Petitions
are available for a {jeriod of five business
days in the PUB. After the petitions are
signed, potential senators must explain
why they feel they are qualified.

Opinion/Editorial
Reader responds to opinions about the '^Gentleman's Club"
Dear Editor....
Last week I was reading the paper as I do every week. I sometimes read things that I agree with and sometimes I read articles that I
have to laugh at. As I was reading Ms. Daidone's article in last week's paper, I not only wanted to laugh, but I was infuriated at the b'ased,
closed-minded view of the writer.
It was obvious that the writer has no clue as to who works in these types of places. If she bothered to do any research, she would know
that the ladies, and I do not use that term loosely, who are in the process of "finding themselves" are "promenading about in front of men
who are all too willing to part with their money" because they are putting themselves through school or trying to open a business.
In other words, it is a job. Not only a job, but a legal one. It is a means to an end. I am not saying that it is a a job to tell mom and dad
about, but never the less, it is a job.
And feminist me, who has friends who have this type of job, would rather see those friends promenading for money, excellent money,
than on the streets selling drugs, or worse.
Amy Bacharach

Tellings 01:1 m3^ mind....
This week I have a lot of things on my
mind and not a lot of space to write about
them so I am not going to write one of my
usual grand openings (do not cry, it is only
once) but instead I will cut right to the chase
with this week's edition of Tales from the
Hard Side.
The first topic that I want to address this
week is one I think most students really do
not know or even care about. This subject
is how we can save someone else's life
without a lot of effort.
The first way to save a person's life is to
take an hour out of your time and give
blood. Giving blood is actually fun, plus
they give you all this great food to help you
regain strength. A healthy person can give
up to one pint of blood every three months
to someone who is in need of it.
Now, I can just hear the uninformed saying right about now,
"But Chris, we can get
AIDS or some other
disease from giving
blood." No, you cannot
get sick from giving
blood. All you get from
giving blood is a good
feeling because you are actually helping to
save someone's life.
Another way to help save someone's life
is to obtain an organ donor card. When you
pass away, your body is buried and it cannot
be of help to anyone. With an organ donor
card, you are registered into a national
directory with your blood type and other
vital information. When you die, that information is put into a computer and cross-referenced with people waiting for bone marrow, a new heart, etc. If there is a match,
your organ is transplanted into the person it
was matched with and they get to live a little bit longer because you signed an organ
donor card.
The power of the people

It's JVliscellaneous X i m e
Greetings readers. I thought I would
take a break from focusing on one issue and
give you a bunch of idea fuel. These
thoughts are random. Whenever my mind
becomes idle, questions and scenarios such
as these begin to invade it. At first they tug
at my brain. Bit by bit, the tugging turns
into annoyance until finally, my only hope
of cleaning such pervasive, scattered material from my mental closet as it were, is to
pass it on to someone else. As always, send
that input along, I welcome it.
Imagine what would happen if all the
people who rolled their eyes when the
names Clinton or Dole are mentioned, actu
ally voted?
If we, all of use including myself and

subject so long that they just go through the

Liberal versus Conservative:
The Conservative Column From the Left
Columnists share their views concerning crime and capital punishment

My topic for this week is crime and
punishment.
I will first tell you what
Liberals say and then I will tell you what I
have to say.
What Liberals say is that criminals
should be rehabilitated, not punished.
What I say is that this Liberal notion of
"rehabilitation" has become more widely
known as lack of punishment. So, judges
gave shorter sentences and Governors like
former Democratic Presidential Candidate
Michael Dukakis developed furlough programs giving violent criminals weekend
passes.
Well I do not really need to tell you
what happened but my boys Bush and
Quayle had a field day back in '88 with all
of this. Which is why Bush became
President and Dukakis is working the drivethru at McDonalds.
Back to the rehabilitation issue many
criminals, particularly inmates on death
row, suffer from Antisocial Personality
Disgrder. Ted Bundy, Richard Sf)eck, and
Jeffrey Dahmer have all been diagnosed
with APD. Many leading psychologists
claim that there is no real rehabilitation of
criminals.
What Liberals say is that prison should
not be unpleasant; you might make criminals mad. What I say is that the reason you
go to prison is because you are being punished. It is meant to be the ultimate deterrent against crime. After you are released
^^kv prison' you should never ever want to

go back. Prisoners should not have better
accommodations on the inside than they had
on the outside.
If you break the law, you should pay the
price, not be rewarded with three catered
meals a day, the opportunity to watch Xrated films on a personal TV set, and full
access to state-of the-art-exercise facilities.
And there is certainly no reason why taxpayers should pay for these luxuries for people who are supposed to be punished.
The Death Penalty
This week, in my Small Group
Communications Class, my group discussed the death penalty in great detail. I
found a lot of information both for and
against it. I personally feel that the death
penalty should be determined on a case-bycase basis.
My Conservative counterparts claim that
the death penalty saves taxpayers money,
but this is not always the case. In fact in
many cases the cost to execute a man is very
comparable with keeping him in prison for
life, because cases where the prosecution is
seeking the death penalty usually take about
three times longer to process and many
times the defendant can appeal . I do not
feel that the death penalty is a deterrent; the
entire prison system as a whole should be
the deterrent. However, in extreme cases I
feel that it is necessary and justified.
Direct comments to Dan Barrile, care of
the Eagle Eye.

Capital punishment is always in the
news. It may well be one of the most hotly
debated issues in the '90s. The death penalty is even the subject of the movie "Dead
Man Walking" and the new movie "The
Chamber" based on the John Grisham novel
of the same title.
The death penalty solves nothing. It is a
flagrant violation of the eighth amendment
of the U.S. Constitution. The eighth amendment states that "Excessive bail shall not be
required, nor excessive fines, nor cruel and
unusual punishment inflicted." I do not
agree with what the current Supreme Court
says. The death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment.
No matter how violent the crime is, the
death penalty is wrong. The person who is
executed suffers beyond comprehension.
First of all they sit in a solitary cell and they
know that no matter how much they regret
their crime they are going to be the victims
of a cruel state sponsored murder. Of course
the current Supreme Court is going to back
up the death penalty, what else would you
expect from a court packed with conservatives?
Many conservatives feel that the death
penalty is necessary for the victims.
Supporters of capital punishment will argue
that the death jjenalty is the only way that
the victim's family can feel closure about
the issue. The taking of one human life does
not make up f9r th,e, ipyrdfi; vicfip\., How, ,
cah anyone say that two wrongs make a
right? Just because someone is murdered, it

does not give the state the right to kill the
murderer. Nothing is solved that way.
Do people actually feel better after an
execution? Only a masochist would enjoy
an execution. What about the family of the
murderer, should the state executioner be
killed so the family of the murderer feels
better? Of course not. So, why do we insist
on taking one life in exchange for the loss
of another?
Conservatives will argue that the death
penalty keeps dangerous criminals off the
streets. If you look at the examples of
Jeffrey Dahmer and Charles Mason you
can see that this is not the case.
Dahmer for example would never have
been freed from prison, had he not been
killed while serving his term. Manson was
sentenced to the death penalty but his sentence was commuted when the California
Supreme Court ruled the death penalty
unconstitutional. In both cases, two dan- .
gerous criminals would have never walked
the streets again.
The death penalty is not the answer to
stopping crime. The key to deterring criminals is stiffer penalties for repeat offenders
and better rehabilitation for crimin-.ils who
are already in prison. Capital punishment
is nothing but cruel and unusual torture
which results in nothing but death. It
solves nothing and is a clear violation of
the eighth amendment.

Waiting to Set It Off
As I sat on the Pennsylvania Turnpike
watching the leaves change and waiting for
the tow truck to come, I had some opportunity to consider this week's movie. I had
the good fortune to be invited to a press junket in New York City this weekend. New
Line Cinemas has apparently gotten into the
business of previewing some of its movies
to college journalists.
Reporters from college papters, radio stations and television stations are treated to a
private screening, a buffet, and a Q&A session with the stars. In a word, it's pretty
cool.
Some of you might remember my
review of A Thin Line Between Love and
Hate from last year. Same situation.
This year we were invited to see F. Gary
Gray's Set It Off starring Jada Pinkett,
Queen latifah, Vivica Fox, Kimberly Elise,
and Blaire Underwood.
Set It Off tells the story of four women
from Los Angeles who find themselves
crushed by the system and who have no
hope of a future. They take matters into
their hands and give themselves some direction. They start robbing banks.

This is preffy much fhe fops
in film.
(If fhis rafing is
given fo somefhing
ofher
fhan STAR WMS fhen
you
know fhe movie is special)

Frankie (Vivica Fox).is a bank teller
who gets fired after her bank is robbed by
someone she knows. Frankie gets to watch
a co-worker get her head blown off and is
then given her walking papers because she
is suspected of collusion (being in cahoots).
Now we have Frankie's motivation.
Stony (Jada Pinkett) is a janitor whose
hopes and dreams lie in her younger brother, who has the opportunity to go to college.
I would like to take a moment to comment on a device that is becoming all too
common. The moment I saw the younger
brother and found out that he had a chance
to get out of the 'hood, I knew he was dead.
I would have loved it if the movie had
proved me wrong, but it did not. He died,
horribly, for all the wrong reasons. Now we
have Stony's motivation.
Cleo (Queen Latifah) is also a janitor
(and a part time car thief) who has little
vision for the future. She resides in a garage
and lives for her car and her girlfriend. Cleo
falls in love with the money and the violence. Out of all four women, she is the
most into the gun play and the danger.
Tisean (Kimberly Elise) is a young single mother who works as a janitor to support
her son. In one of the weakest scenes in the
movie, she brings him to work and he ends
up drinking bleach. The social service people take custody of the child until Tisean can
prove that she can afford child care. Tisean
has the best reason to rob banks but she is
the meekest of the women and can barely
hold a gun.
This long drawn out description I have
given is the extent of the first act of the
movie and flows pretty much the way it
reads: kind of choppy. However, once
everyone's motivation is set up, the movie
starts to roll nicely.
Set It Off turns out to be a fairly slick
action film, which is totally unexpected.
New Line Cinemas must have gotten a great
deal on helicopters because there has to
have been at least one in every scene.
I have always had a soft spot for scenes
where the director does not cut for several
minutes. Those cool tricky shots that
involve lots of zooming and swooping and
absolutely no cuts just give me a warm feeling deep down in my heart. Even if the shot
is needlessly long and mind numbingly boring, I still get into the "look" of it all.
Set It Off is one of the instances in
which this technique comes off nicely. The
first robbery is pulled off in under a minute
and in only one shot. The spinning whirling
action makes the whole scene more exciting. This is not necessarily good film theory, but, well, I liked it.
Although it may not sound like it so far,
I actually enjoyed this movie. The story
may have been somewhat transparent, but

the characters were engaging and there were
some plot twists that were unexpected. For
instance, I wondered who would be the first
among the group to kill.
This brings up an interesting point.
While the movie was violent and action
packed, there was very little death for most
of the film. Death was almost used as some
twisted framing device.
For those of you who don't know who F.

(Whitney Houston
had better watch
her back)

the Turnpike actually do.
Well, instead of containing a phone
(which is what I expected), the call box
houses four little buttons. Each button coincides with a type of service that troubled drivers might need. For instance, if, say, you
run out of gas, you push the little button with
the gas can next to it. A little red light on the
box flashes to tell you that the message has
been received. All you have to do then is

J a d a Pinlcett, Kimberly Elise, Q u e e n Latifah a n d Vivica F o x take control of their o w n destinies in Set It Off.

Gary Gray is, he directed Friday, the day in
the 'hood film with Ice Cube and Chris
Tucker. He is also responsible for a whole
slew of music videos, including TLC's
Waterfalls.
After Friday (which I did enjoy) I did
not exfwct a great deal style wise. I was surprised. Gray has talent. While the film did
suffer from some "music video" scenes, it
had an overall appearance that was very
stylish.
For the amount of effort involved in getting to the show, and the adventure we had
trying to get back, I would definitely say
that this movie was worth it.
I have a brief side note for all of you
travel buffs out there. Some avid motorists
may wonder what those little call boxes on

Set It

wait for the friendly service people to show
up.
I must say that there is some lovely
foliage lining the Turnpike of our great
State. There are also many convenient
places to pull off the road when your car
starts making strangled, sputtering sounds.
I would say that Set It Off is definitely an
enjoyable movie. If you have the time, go
out and see it. It opens nationally on
November 6.
And please remember, it is not possible
to get from Cherry Hill, N.J. to Lock Haven
on half a tank of gas. Even if you have really good gas mileage.

Artist Jerry Wray shared techniques she has found helpful during her art career to those at her art exhibit opening in Sloan Fine
Arts Center Monday evening.
Wray discussed the importance of having the desire to do
something. She added that even if no one else likes your work,
and though even you may or may not like it, you will gain the
"principles to express yourself."
She also said that a person needs someone who is going to be
"mentally supportive" to him or her. She discus.sed the people
who have supported her throughout her career, including a painting teacher and a 95-year-old woman whose advice to Wray was
to take one section of her art at a time and practice it until it was
perfected.
Wray also discussed her professional influences and the "business of art." Wruy has a book in which she records where her
paintings are being showcased at a specific time, as she has over
1,000 paintings and many of them can be at different places at one
time. She noted that a book of this type, with slides and pho-

In her works, Wray said she tries to convey what is "important" to her. In her
"Artist's Statement," referring to her works,
she stated that she "can hardly finish one

According to her statement, Wray uses

Sports

Eagles challenged by Mountaineers...

Home opener slips away
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Under the lights and rain in Jack
Stadium last Saturday night, the football
team took the field last in their home opener against
Mansfield
University's
Mountaineers. In front of a crowd of 1,600,
the Eagles fell to the Mountaineers by a
score of 6-3 in a struggle that kept the
crowd's attention to the end.
The Eagles tried to get an early score
when they took over at Mansfield's 25-yard
line in the first quarter after John Gerst
caused the Mountaineers' freshman quarterback, Lucas Smith, to fumble and Brad
Caldwell recovered.
This time, Charlie Traber's 40-yard field
goal attempt sailed wide right.
After a scoreless first quarter, Mansfield
took a 3-0 lead on a 31-yard field goal by
Jason Johnston with 6:25 left in the 2nd
half.
The Haven came back after Ben
Steinbacher picked off a Smith pass at the
Mansfield 29-yard line.
The Eagles then drove down the field to
the Mansfield 7 in seven plays, which set up
a Charlie Traber 24-yard field goal with 19
seconds left in the second quarter, ending
the first half tied 3-3.
With the Lock Haven field goal, Traber
now has 14 field goals in his career, breaking the old University record set by Dan
Young (1978-82). Traber now holds or ties
five kicking records at LHU.
The men came out of the locker room
fired up for the second half when Coach
Nick Polk dipped into his bag of tricks for a
play.
"We saw that one of their players leaves
[the line] right when the ball is kicked and
we saw the opportunity to get the ball back
and keep the momentum going," said Coach
Polk.
Traber's attempt at the onside kick went
out of bounds, however, and Mansfield got
the ball deep in Lock Haven territory at the
37-yard line.
Mansfield drove to the Eagles' 20 but
the defense stood their ground, and
Johnston kicked a 38-yard field goal to give
Mansfield a 6-3 lead at 11:21 left in the 3rd
quarter.
The score stayed the same for the rest of
the game. But that does not mean the rest of
the game was boring.
With about four minutes left on the
game clock, Mansfield drove the ball to the
Lock Haven 8 and had a first-and-goal.

The Mountaineers wanted to put the nails in
the coffin, but the Haven defense had other
ideas.
The defense held a goal-line stand for
the ages and kept the Mounties at the oneyard line two plays in a row. This defensive
stand put life back into the crowd and into
the Bald Eagles as well.

"At one point in the game, I looked into
the eyes of my teammates and I knew they
tried their hardest and gave 100%," said
junior linebacker Brad Caldwell after the
game.
Mistakes hurt the Bald Eagles who were
penalized 11 times for 106 yards and had a
10-yard touchdown pass from Carlos
Cleckley to Jason Kundtz called back.
"We had some silly mistakes with
penalties," said Coach Polk. He also agreed
that the team played hard.

Junior quarterback Carlos Cleckley calls the plays against Mansfield
University in last Saturday's rainy home opener. The Eagles fell short by a
field goal, 6-3 (photo by Lynna Weidman).
After trading punts, the Haven got the
ball back one more time with 90 seconds
left on the clock. However, they could only
charge to the Mansfield 40-yard line before
time ran out.
"I am very proud of this team and I
know they will get it going," said Coach
Polk of his team's effort.

Fullback Willie Kitt added, "We played
hard but the penalties hurt us in the end."
Offensively for the Haven, Cleckley
threw 14 for 29 with one interception and
115 yards. Cleckley also had 72 rushing
yards on 12 carries.
Kitt gained 62 yards on 20 carries.

Senior wide receiver Bryan McGinty had
six catches for 56 yards.
The Eagles' offense had their best performance since the opening week, totaling
247 total yards of offense.
The defense came up big again with
Ben Steinbacher and Jeremy Crills picking
off Mansfield passes. Steinbacher also led
the way with 10 tackles.
•
Corey Jacobs also had 10 tackles, along
with one tackle for loss and a quarterback
sack, which prompted Coach Polk to say,
"Corey played his tail off today."
Rashid Rogers had seven tackles, second overall on the team with 45 total for the
season; Brad Caldwell has 47 total and a
forced fumble.
John Gerst had two quarterback sacks,
(he leads the team with four total) and a
forced fumble, which was recovered by
Brad Caldwell.
Rogers also made an appearance on special teams returning kickoffs. He had three
returns for 77 yards and almost broke one
for a touchdown.
Cliff Benoist did the punting for the
Haven. He had seven punts for 249'yards.
"We had the best three days of practice
coming into the Mansfield game and we are
getting better," said Coach Polk.
He also added that the Haven might surprise some of the teams on the schedule
down the road.
It will be a battle of the Eagles when
Lock Haven travels to Clarion in the
Golden Eagles' homecoming game tomorrow. The Haven (0-4) enters their PSACWest schedule looking to pull all the pieces
together.
Clarion (3-1) won last year's battle, 4932, and this year looks like it will be another shoot-out. Clarion holds the lead in the
overall series, 33-11-1, a series which
dates back to 1928.
The game begins at 2 p.m. at Clarion's
Memorial Stadium.

Who's

Lady Eagles lose two in a row...

Ladies slip at Rock on deck?
Men's Soccer: Away

by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The Lady Eagles suffered two defeats
this week, including one to the hands of
conference rival Slippery Rock, 3-1, (15-5,
12-15, 11-15, 12-15).
The ladies gave Slippery Rock a 15-5
"shellacking" in the first game with what
Coach Tom Justice described as "so much
spirit and hustle."
Behind performances like Tara
Newcomer's 71% attack percentage and
Megan Best's 57%, the team "refused to let
a ball hit the fioor," Justice added.

VOLLEYBALL
Although the teams were tied at 12-12
in the second, the Lady Eagles lost the set
12-15.
A small tragedy occurred in the third
game when Fadime Verhoeven sprained her
ankle.
She will be back in shape for the next
game, however, which is fortunate because
they will play Edinboro, who is ranked #1
in the Atlantic Region, which includes West
Virginia, Virginia, New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, and Maryland.
Coach Justice stressed that the Atlantic
Region is "the strongest region east of the
Mississippi," excluding Florida.
Edinboro is the team who supplied the
Haven with its only conference defeat last
season. Coincidence would have it,
Verhoeven was injured just before that
game as well.

Look for our NEW weekly column to feature the
Haven's unsung sports heroes.

Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The mighty Haven cycling team is up
and running once again for another geargrinding year.
On Sunday, September 29, the team
traveled to Bucknell University for the
2nd annual "Rocktober Challenge."
Nine riders comjjeted, seven of them
rookie competitors, and all finished with
great results.
Noel Zeh wrapped up a fourth place
finish on the difficult ten-mile course
with a time of 46:29.
Shawn Sparks and Dan Ingram came
m 8th and 9th, with times of 48:58 and
49:05, respectively.
The other Haven cyclists included
Tony Edmondson, Luke Anderson, Jaime
Tilford, Steve Crawford, "Smoking" Joe
Tighe and Wade Spencer.
This weekend the team travels to
Tussey Mountain for Penn State's
"Mountain Bike Challenge."
The team has hopes of taking more
top ten places before traveling to
Kentucky for the NCCA (National
Collegiate
Cycling
Association)
Mountain Bike Nationals.

Sitting in his office in front of a poster
with "Integrity" printed in large letters.
Coach Justice pointed out that his team
went through a "catharsis" this past week.
He points out, "We lost two games, but
we found our team."
The coach also emphasizes the "stable
force" of Tamee Dickey, Becky Helmers,
and Kelli Kowalski, who come off the
bench as his three best defensive sf)ecialists.
The Lady Eagles' defeat by Slippery
Rock came after their loss to Division III
Juniata on Friday, 3-0 (15-8,15-11, 15-13).
The team's best performance was supplied by Megan Best, who smashed nine
kills and had a 36% attack percentage.
With these two losses, the Lady Eagles
fall to 3-1 in the conference and 13-8 overall.
Despite the two losses, however, Coach
Justice is inspired about his team. "There's
a new spirit on the team that's just emerging." He adds, "This team's going to be a
great one by the end of the season."

Lady Eagles wound Warriors
by Doug Henry
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter
The Lady Eagles soccer team continues
to rake in wins . Although Saturday's contest against visiting California University
was cancelled due to rain earlier in the day,
the sun was shining on the Lady Eagles last
Wednesday when the ladies pulled off an
impressive win at East Stroudsburg.
This was by far the most important
game The Haven has played yet this season.
The Lady Eagles have never defeated
East Stroudsburg, and this was a great test
of how well the team is actually playing.
The win did not come easily in this 4-3
struggle. East Stroudsburg came out onto
the field ready for battle, and it showed.
TTie Lady Warriors took only 40 seconds to
get on the scoreboard.
The goal came after a Lady Eagles
defensive breakdown in which a through
ball was not cleared.
Keeper Liz
Neidlinger seemed to have it covered, but
she slipped and fell, allowing the Warrior
attacker to take the ball right to the goal.
"It was one of the easiest goals I have
ever seen," commented Head Coach Trevor
Warren.
Nevertheless, the Eagles found themselves in the unusual position of being
down.
They could not get the motor running as
ESU pressed the action for the first 25 minutes. The Haven weathered the attack and
managed to keep the Warriors from inflicting any more damage.
Then, in the 26th minute, the Haven
Girls captured a goal of their own.
Rachel Clemens took a pass from captain Heather Orman and placed it in the far
upper comer of the net. This turned the

tide of the game completely.
Both sides continued to press the action
in the first half, but neither team managed
to put the ball in.
Half-time rolled around, and the Lady
Eagles found themselves in the midst of a
dog-fight. They would have to pull it
together to overcome the 1-1 stalemate.
Whatever Coach Wanen said during
half-time must have worked because the
ladies came out of the break with a
vengeance.
Two minutes into the second stanza, the
ladies were awarded a corner kick. They
have made opponents pay all year long on
the corner, and this was no exception.
Orman delivered another of her flawless
crosses off of the corner kick directly to the
head of the waiting Clemens, who buried
the ball for her second goal of the game giving The Haven their first lead of the afternoon.
A short five minutes later, The Haven
struck again, once again flexing their muscles on the corner kick.
Orman assisted on the other two goals,
so it was only fitting that she would set this
one up as well.
This time, her kick found its way to
Georgina Adams. She jumped on the
opportunity and banged the ball home for
the third goal. With the lead now at two,
the visiting Eagles seemed to be in command.
The Warriors did not abandon ship,
however, but continued to press the action.
They once again found the net with 18

minutes remaining in play.
East Stroudsburg was now very much in
the game again and would certainly be
looking for the tying goal. The Haven
would have to play tough defense if they
wanted to close out this game with the win.
Apparently in this case the best way to
help out the defense was to get the offense
in gear again.
Adams scored with a solid shot from 25
yards away. The ball rocketed off of
Adams's left foot into the upper left corner
of the goal.
It was Adams's second goal of the
game, her second game-winner of the year.
Adams's total number of goals to seven
for the season, keeping her on pace with
Clemens who also has registered seven thus
far.
East Stroudsburg managed to get on the
board again late in the game, but the
defense tightened up and wore out the
remaining time on the clock.
The 4-3 win brought the current win
streak to six, giving the Lady Eagles^ a 7-1
overall record.
"We are firmly in the driver's seat in the
PSAC and the region," comments Coach
Warren. "Barring a slip-up, th-a win
should put us in the conference playoffs."
This win was extremely special for
Coach Warren. It was his first win against
East Stroudsburg and it runs the ladies'
record in the conference to 4-0.
The most significant thing about the
win, however, is that it was Warren's 150th
career win as a college coach.
The Haven will be back in action at
home today at 7 p.m. against Wheeling.
There has been no date set for the
California make-up game.

New face in sports info office
by Tori Mello
Eagle Eye Sports Editor_
Last Tuesday Joshua Leiboff, a graduate
of Mansfield University, began as the
University's new sports information director.
In the sports information office, Leiboff
publicizes team and individual statistics by
calling local newspapers, TV and radio stations and updating the LHU sports web site;
handles inquiries about LHU athletics; and
takes care of advertising for University athletic events. His staff also records the play-

by-play events of certain games.
During his first weeks at Lock Haven,
Leiboff's main challenge has been learning
the names and faces of all the athletes, especially since he came into the picture a third
of the way through the fall sports season.
"It's just a matter of getting used to a
new environment and new people."
"It's very different being in charge,"
explains Leiboff. "I came in right before the
first home football game, had to get used to
a new environment, and call all the shots
during my first few days."
Leiboff says that from his first days as
an undergraduate student at Mansfield

University, he knew he wanted to go into
sports information.
**
He gained useful exf>erience volunteering for Steve McCloskey in Mansfield's
sports information office during his years^t
MU. Mr. Leiboff also completed an internship with the PSAC Office, where he coordinated athletics information for the 14 universities in the SSHE system.
Leiboff graduated from Mansfield
University with a dual degree in mass communication and broadcast. He also served
as a graduate assistant in Kutztown
University's sports information office
before coming to Lock Haven.
