Commencement activities slated
Approximately 200 graduates are
expected to participate in the University's
Winter Commencement 1996 on Sunday,
Dec. 15, at 2 p.m. in Thomas Field House.
The keynote speaker for the event will
be Margery Brown Krevsky, a 1966
University graduate, who is currently the
president and chief executive officer of
Productions-Plus, a Michigan-based talent
and casting agency. She and her partner
Harriet Fuller, a former top New York fashion model, launched the company in 1981.

In addition to coordinating fashion productions and special events for area retailers, the company provides talent to automotive manufacturers for the annual North
American International Auto Show.
Krevsky earned her degree at the
University in elementary education and
worked as a grade school teacher in
Yardley, Pa., and Newport, R.I., before
moving to New York City to attend the
Tobe Colburn School for fashion careers.
Using her expertise in fashion, she
wrote and edited for Glamour Magazine,

The Metropolitan Detroit Magazine, The
Detroit Free Press and The Observer and
Eccentric newspapers in Detroit.
She is also on the advisory board of
Northwood Institute of Fashion Marketing
and is a member of the Board of Directors
of the Hillberry Theater in Detroit. She is
the current secretary of the Oakland
Executive Association, a networking group
for Oakland County-based business owners.

According to Chris Franklin, BSU president, the program originated with members of the BSU. However, he said that as
the drive was publicized, a
lot of
University students were eager to donate
meals.
The food drive was held on Nov. 26, the
day that the University closed for
Thanksgiving break. Franklin said that this
is a possible reason for the overall success
of the drive, since students were leaving for
break, many of them would not have used
their meals for the day. Many students
donated their evening meals and members
of the local Salvation Army came and
picked up food for distribution to needy
city residents.
According to Franklin, the community
responded positively to the BSU sponsored
food drive. "They were very appreciative.
They even sent us a letter of thanks," said
Franklin.
The BSU may sponsor the same type of
food drive for Christmas break. Franklin
said that the organization is willing to do
anything to help the community and looks
forward to similar efforts in the future. ,

Eagle Eye News Editor
The Eagle Card, which originated earlier this semester, will have debit card capabilities beginning next semester.

Council (SCC) president, announce-J at last
night's SCC meeting that students will be
able to place money on account for the start

Eagle Card expansion.
Students can then use the Eagle Card in
campus vending machines, photocopiers,
washers and dryers in the residence halls,
and in the bookstore and the Eagle Wing
Snack Bar.
According to Flint, the SCC executive
board will be preparing the card for use over
winter break. Following preparation, students will be able to deposit money into

Twenty years ago • dec. 10, 1976
Students interested in participating in
next year's exchange program in England
or Poland must apply by March 15,
according to Dr. Marcus Konick, director
of the foreign exchange program.
Students must have a 2.5 Q.P.A. Each
student must be approved by his or her
advisor and department chairperson, the
dean, and by the vice president of academic affairs.
For the Poland exchange, the student
must be planning a career in education.
For the England exchange, the student
can be in any field.
Students will pay the normal fees as if
they were attending Lock Haven State
College. Students going to England need
to pay for their own transportation.
Students going to Poland will have
expenses paid by the United States
Government.

Ten years ago - Dec. 11, 1986
Head football Coach Jack Fisher turned
in his resignation at a meeting with
University President Craig Dean Willis yesterday, ending his nine year tenure at the
University.
"At this time, I believe that it is in the
best interest of the football program for me
to step down, and hopefully someone else
can take the reigns now and keep the program going," Fisher said.
Since winning the Pennsylvania State
Athletic Conference (PSAC) in 1979 in
only his second season, the football program has been under fire.
"It was a decision (the resignation) he
came to himself," Willis said. "He is a very
fine individual, and I am glad to have him
on the faculty at Lock Haven. I can't say
enough nice things about him," he added.
Fisher said, "I don't care where you
coach, you're always on the hot seat."

Five years ago - Dec. 12,1991
Dr. Joseph Marron began hisfirstday
as the new dean of student affairs last
Monday.
Marron, originally from Pennsyh ania,
graduated from the University in 1976
with a Bachelor's degree in health/physical education and recreation.
He holds a Master's degree in education with an emphasis in administration
and supervision from Temple University
and a doctorate in higher education and
administration from Vanderbilt.
For the past three years Marron has
worked in North Carolina at Wesleyan
College as the director of Student Support
Services for the Department of
Community Colleges, which supervises
58 community colleges in the state.
In order for Marron to acquire the job
as dean of student affairs, he had to go
through extensive interviews.

Now, on to the next phase
Here I sit thinking of what on earth to
write for my very last editorial, which is not
only the last editorial I will ever write, but
the last thing I will ever write for the Eagle
Eye, thus ending my Eagle Eye career and
closing a chapter in my life. So here I go.
Sunday is graduation which means
Sunday is the end of my college career,
(well almost the end, but since finals follow
graduation then I guess the end of finals is
really the end) and the beginning of my life
in the real world.
This leads me to a reflection of my years here at the
Haven. Since I arrived in the
Fall of 1993,1 was immediately faced with new surroundings, life away from the city,
and living in close quarters
with people whom I never
before encountered.
From there I began meeting
people, getting into classes and
adjusting to life at the University. After my
freshman year I switched my major to journalism and mass communications.
1 started out never before seeing a newspa[)er office, let alone believing I would
end up spending 30 or more hours a week
in one by the time my senior year came

around.
During the time I was news editor last
year and editor in chief this semester, I was
sometimes asked why I spent so much time
here and why I even cared about the paper
in the first place.
Working on the Eagle Eye was
probably one of the most rewarding experiences I had while I was
here for so many reasons, including the hands on experience, the
writing exfjerience, and the many
friendships I made
with the rest of the
staff.
Even if I had to
be here until 3 a.m. during
the week, in the end it was all
worth it. Seeing people reading the paper on Friday made
it all worth it, despite the fact
some people said I wasted
my time.
With the arrival of graduation on
Sunday, I welcome the next phase of life I
will be going to and I wish all of my fellow
graduates good luck in everything they do.
To everyone still here pursuing their
degrees, I wish you all the best of luck getting to graduation, whenever your gradua-

tion may be.
I do not know where I will end up at as
far as employment is concerned. I hope
that everything I accomplished while I was
here will reflect on me positively, just as I
hope what all of you
accomplish
will
reflect positively on
you.
To next year s
Editor
in
Chief,
Amanda
Gutshall,
and the rest of the
Eagle Eye staff, both
new and old, give the
Eagle Eye everything
that you have got and remember the payoff
comes in the experience. Also, you will be
rewarded every Friday when you see the
student body reading what you worked so
hard on all week.
And for everyone else who worked so
hard on many other things all semester,
happy holidays and have a relaxing break.
Again, good luck and congratulations to all
of the December graduates and good luck
to everyone on finals.

Opinion/Editorial
Columnist voices iier disapproval of "Spitters" spitting
It never fails. At least three times a day,
somewhere on campus or as 1 am driving
home along N. Fairview St., I must be
forced to witness a college male engage in
a disgusting bodily function. (1 bet that got
your attention).
Who am I addressing here? The
Spitters, that's right, the Spitters. All of you
for whatever reason you do this, (whether it
is due to the need to release remains of that
foul-smelling, cancer-causing chew to
which so many of you are so sadly addicted, a buildup of phlegm that must be let go
immediately following its conception, or
because you are a complete slob with
absolutely no regard for those around you
who must endure watching your boorishness), must be aware of how offensive this
act is to others. The worst part is that the
majority of you spit in such a grotesquely
loud and noticeable way, that this makes
you twice as revolting to look at.
Do you have any idea how virtually disgusting you appear when you are doing
such a virtually disgusting thing? (By the
way, do you do this as you are strolling with
your significant other or your mom?) If 1
had a video camera on hand when you did

this, so I could show you an instant replay,
I bet you'd be so repulsed and embarrassed
by your crude behavior, that not only would
you immediately stop this filthy habit,
you'd do your damnedest to convert fellow
Spitters.

Congratulations, you may
be sadly addicted to chew
but at least you have
devised a classier method to
dispose of its remnants.
And speaking of being addicted to
things that are foul-smelling and cancercusing, although this is a segue from my

topic, I'd like to veer from discussing
Spitters to something else I've seen.
Memo to all you females who have suddenly become cigar smokers because the
trends you are so afraid of not following,
dictate you to do so: You look really, really stupid puffing away on those stogies.
About as ridiculous as a 400-pound competitive arm wrestler named Big Bad Lou
would look if he were to drink coffee or tea
from a miniature china cup with his pinkie
sticking out. End of story.
Now, back to you Spitters, I hope reading this has made you aware of how what
you do, actually makes you appear. Again,
the key word here is disgusting. The
sad part is, that I am certain that
many of you are actually very nice
people just stuck with a nasty habit.
So, stay nice and if you musi maintain a filthy habit, find one to do in
the privacy of your own home.

Liberal Columnist expresses views on same sex marriages
by Mike Murphy
A few weeks ago in the Parsons Union
Building (PUB), the Univeristy lesbian, gay
and bisexual league (LGBSL) had its annual Straight Talk. Earlier that day, as 1 was in
Bentley Dining Hall, I was asked to answer
a question from a survey that had appeared
in the Eagle Eye. I agreed to do it so I stood
in front of a video camera and answered a
question about education leading to acceptance of homosexuality and bisexuality.
I remembered
this later as I
wracked my brain
for a topic for this
week's column. I
decided to write
about one of the
issues that I do not
agree with President
Bill Clinton.
A few months
ago.
Congress
passed a bill that
would illegalize gay
and lesbian marriages. Clinton signed this
bill and it was made a law. I do not know
what Clinton was thinking.
I imagine that the Republican Congress
saw a chance to oppress a group of
American citizens and I am sure they fig0 K d that Qi;iton,wQuld s i ^ the bill. After

all this was before the election. In a move
that only a politician up for reelection
wouid have made, the bill was made into a
law.
1 believe that the Declaration of
Independence lists the three inalienable
rights as, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness." Congress had just knocked off
that third one for the gay and lesbian citizens of the United
States. 1 did not realize
that the Constitution
allowed for the government to deny people the
right to marry whom
they choose.
When I was
asked the question about
education leading to
acceptance of homosexuality and bisexuality, I
thought the answer was
pretty obvious. I think
that education is the key
to acceptance.
Most bigotry, whether because of race
or sexual preference, is the result of ignorance. 1 think that if most homophobics
were to realize that people who are homosexual are perfectly content with that
choice, acceptance of homosexuality would
begin. Fa,T too many people view hpniose^f-

uals as miserable people who would do
anything to be heterosexual.
My heterosexuality doesn't make me
right, nor does it make
me better than anyone
else. It is simply the
way I choose to live
my life.
People who are
pro-choice say there
should be laws governing their bodies.
What are we doing by
limiting the marriage
partners of our gay, lesbian and bisexual citizens. Laws like the one passed that ban
homosexual marriages limit the basic rights
that we as American citizens hold dear to

our hearts. When I make the decision to
marry the girl I love, there
are laws protecting my right
to do so.
Why should we iolerate
laws that deny gays and lesbians to marry the people
that they love, regardless of
sex. There is no reason to
deny these people that right.
The homosexuals and bisexuals of the United States are
citizens just like me. They
should be given the same
rights that everyone else has.

HOLIDAY

SPECIA

Dreaming of a "Green" Cliristmas
by Beth Bertram
Eagle Eye Spring 1997 Copy Editor
It's that time of the year again. Time for
family and friends to gather near to celebrate the holidays. It's the season of cookies, eggnog, lights, and... presents! People
complain about the commercial hustle and
bustle of Christmas but still go on their
merry way purchasing gobs of wrapping
paper, cards, bows, and other environmentally damaging products.
Seriously consider the amount of paper
products that you will use this holiday season. All those rolls of wrapping paper not
only take up a lot of space under your bed,
but also quickly fill up a landfill.
Perhaps this Christmas will be the one
that your creativity is displayed in the wrapping of your presents. For example, when
my brother came home from California for
Christmas last year he had wrapped our presents in a map of California. Very creative
and a great way to recycle the many maps
he had received as a welcoming gift from
everyone who knew the freeways would
confuse him!
The Sunday comics are a colorful way
to wrap gifts for younger siblings or adults
who refuse to grow up! A gift for your
sweetheart might be all the more personal
wrapped in the Personal Ads. Once you've
finished reading this week's Eagle Eye you
could recycle it by using it to wrap gifts for
your favorite Lock Haven friends! The
options with a newspaper are endless!
Maybe wrapping is too time consuming
and you'd rather just stuff your store-bought

goodies in a bag. Reuse that brown paper
bag from the C-Store by investing in some
glitter and markers. Your bag will shout
with Christmas cheer!
If you are creatively-challenged and
choose to resort to using the mounds of
wrapping paper cluttering your bedroom
floor, be smart and recycle the paper! Save
what you can for next year. Your shrewdness will save you money next holiday season and help save the environment!
You know the slew of Christmas cards
that will filter in over the next couple of
weeks? Many will be beautiful and festive
so save them! Donate them to a teacher
who might be able to do a classroom project. Use the backs to jot phone messages.
Children love Christmas presents and
often the most discouraging aspect of their
enthusiasm, as seen by parents, is the
child's dismissive attitude towards the presents in exchange for the boxes in which
they were wrapped. Instead of breaking the
kid's heart by taking them away, decorate
them with wrapping paper scraps, old
Christmas cards, or construction paper and
create a storage box for your essential
Christmas necessities for next year! Yet
another use for those Christmas cards and
wrapping paper scraps!
The possibilities are endless!
So as
you're toasting in the New Year and
bustling around the mall, beware of what
you buy. Recycled is always better!

Hardcore acts set to invade the PUB
Tomorrow, Dec. 14, at 4 p.m., the
University Radio Club will be presenting
their fall concert in the Parsons Union
Building (PUB) Multi-purpose room.
The line up will consist of two
Philadelphia acts. Vitality and Rottweiler, as
well as two local groups. Crown Jester and
Undoing.
Philly band Vitality is fronted by Lock
Haven alumnus Matt Walsh. He joined up
with Vitality when it was first started by
guitarist Bob Jacobs. Jacobs decided to

uihJ^ (Sil:>(N^§

form his own metal group after leaving his
previous punk outfit. He met up with
Walsh, who had played with a joke band
called Metal Sniff, and decided that he had
found the right voice to front his band.
The next to be added to the line-up was
bassist Mike Lerro, who had just finished
with the Philly hardcore group Callus.
Once his hardcore improvisations were
added to the mix, the three started working
on a few original numbers.
Vitality eventually picked up former

Facecrime drummer Dan Mazurk. This
addition gave them the ability to finally start
doing shows. As the band played the Philly
area, their popularity began to grow. They
continued to write new songs and began
searching in earnest for a lead guitarist.
An answer was eventually found in Eric
Shields, who had also been a member of
Facecrime. His lead style was added to the
mix and completed the necessary sound.
Vitality aims for a heavy sound, reminiscent of classic metal acts while incorpo-

rating more modern styles. They have been
described as, "cutting edge, well-structured, and extremely heavy."
The band is currently involved in a talent search that is being run by Philly station
WHYY. Despite their lack of marketability. Vitality is enjoying some degree of success. They have advanced to the semi-final
round, having already placed third in the
previous round.
Also competing in the con.^st is
Rottweiler. Rottweiler was started under
the name Prawn by Ken Scheffel (drums),
Joe Koffman (bass), and Jim Waryga
(Vocals, Guitars). The band changed their
name to Rottweiler and began a rather
lengthy line-up shuffle. They hired on
Steve Duban as a lead guitarist, lost
Scheffel to the Navy, moved Koffman to
drums, recruited new bassist Eric
Capozolli, fired Koffman when they had to
cancel a show due to his late attendance,
and hired Jay on to play the drums.
As the group prepared for the WHYY
contest, they lost Duban, who had been
skipping practices. Stu, a friend of Jay's
was hired to fill in on bass and Capozolli
moved to guitar. In the brief time before
the show the band managed to teach Stu
enough of the songs to perform.
Rottweiler placed fourth in its competition and advanced to the semi-finals. They
also kept Stu.
Rottweiler has one single out entitled
"Kitty Porn". They have been playing the
Philly area for around three years.
At stake in the contest are a record deal
and a TV spot, as well as many other great
prizes. Vitality will perform for its semifinal round on January 27th.
The Radio Club show is $3 at the doo.
Prizes will be given away, including CD's,
tapes, and posters.

District of Columbia, defeating them by a
score of 81-58 on Tuesday night.
The Haven is riding a two-game winning streak after defeating California
University of Pennsylvania in their second
game of the Bloomsburg Tournament over
the weekend.
They dropped another tough game
against Bloomsburg in their first game.
The score was 62-61 with 1:18 remaining
in the second half. Coach Frank Scarfo
commented, "We've lost five games
because we are unable to handle pressure.
It's our Achilles' Heel, because we make
poor decisions."
Pressure once again .cost the Lady
Eagles a chance to beat Bloom, which
resulted in a 79-69 loss. They were led in
scoring by Becky Peter who scored 17,
with Rachel Ebeling also tallying 12.
Lock Haven came back strong in the
second game against California, winning
by a score of 82-68, to chalk up their third
win of the young season.
Missy Witters exploded for 20 to lead
the charge. Witters was complimented by
four other Lady Eagles scoring in double
figures. Terri Johnson finished the game
with 16 points and was also named to the
All Tournament Team. Ebeling, Peter, and
Meridith McKnight each contributed 11
points toward the winning cause.
With this impressive win firmly in the
bag, the Lady Eagles came into the game
against UDC with only one thing on their
minds: a winning streak. This determina-

tion payed off. UDC effectively used pressure defense to attack Lock Haven in the
opening minutes of the game.
"They started up 6-0 on us, and three
weeks ago we'd have fallen flat on our
faces," commented Coach Scarfo.
This
was not to be the case on this occasion as
the Haven came back with six points of
their own and, more importantly, the confidence to overcome the pressure.
"We showed good character out there,"
said Scarfo, as he commented on his teams
handling of the pressure. The Haven took
the lead at the 15:55 mark, 11-10, and never
looked back.
Terri Johnson scored 16, as did Peter.
Peter led the team with 10 rebounds to complete her double-double. Amy Nickles
added 15 points to the winning cause.
Witters chipped in 9, and Tanya Jones,
along with Ebeling, put in 8. Ebeling also
dished out 9 assists.
Coach Scarfo was pleased with the
effort and progress of the Lady Eagles. "We
have definitely been improving. Rachel is
looking more for offense. Terri is " streak
player, and she warmed up in the second
half."
"We have always been deep at the post
position, and our guards are stat ting to
come around. We are dealing with hampering injuries as well as rebounding and pressure, which we are improving on," added
Scarfo.
The Lady Eagles are also enjoying balanced scoring which they were not receiving earlier in the season. "This is two in a
row for us now," commented Coach Scarfo,
"We needed this win at home."
The Lady Eagles travel to Mansfield on
Friday where they hope to continue their
winning ways.

place
second at
invitational
by Kelly O'Neill
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter
Last weekend the Lady Eagles swim
team traveled to Binghamton, N.Y. to compete in the Binghamton Invitational. The
LHU Lady Eagles swam hard and placed
second, proving they would not go under
without a fight.
During Friday's competition in the
200-meter relay medley, LHU placed third,
shaving two seconds off their previous
time. "This just shows how much we are
improving," stated Head Coach Tom
Justice.
Stacey Lebo placed second in the 200meter IM with a time of 2:24.79.
Following right behind her was Katie
Bonner, placing third with a time of
2:25.36. In the 100 meter breaststroke,
LHU tore up the pool against competing
teams, claiming second, third and fifth
places.
Swimming in the 100-meter backstroke
for the first time for LHU was Amber
Schmeider, who placed third with a time
of 1:09.06. Carolyn Labola, swimming the
100-meter butterfly for the first time for
the Haven, placed third with a time of
1:13.79.
During Saturday's competition. Missy
Tandlmayer swam the 200-meter breast
stroke with a PSAC qualifying time of
2:40.73.
In the 1650-meter freestyle, freshman
Schmeider set a school record with a time
of 20:12.04, good enough to earn her second place honors. In the 200-meter
freestyle, the team placed second with a
time of 1:51.78. Capturing two first place
spots was Bonner in the 200-meter breaststroke and the 400-meter medley relay,
with a team score of 4:34.10.
The Lady Eagles' swim team will not
have another meet until after the .semester
break. However, the team will be traveling
to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. over the break to
an open competition on Jan. 1. The meet
will give the team an opportunity to swim
against swimmers from around the country.
"We have been really sick and it has
kept us from training hard. We are getting
healthier and we plan to get in some good
hard training over break. We will be training twice a day in Florida to build ourselves up to come back in February ready
to win!" commented Justice.

Boxers assert dominance

The University's Boxing team, currently ranked third in the NCBA, won four of
seven bouts at the Second Annual
Mansfield University Collegiate Boxing
Invitational last Saturday night before a
welcoming crowd of approximately 500
fans at the Decker Gym.
The Haven's 1996 national champion,
Jason Pletcher, at 165 pounds, scored an
unanimous 3-0 decision over tough Mike
Hensel, Mansfield, in the night's featured
bout. Pletcher used a good left jab and
superior boxing skills to win all three
rounds over the aggressive Henel.
In one of the best bouts of the evening,
the Bald Eagles' rapidly improving George
Conklin earned a tough 2-1 decision over
Penn State's Rick Albright. The smaller
5'7" Conklin, 191, used his quickness to
slip past the husky 222 pound former
Nittany Lion football player.
Giving up over 30 pounds, the more
experienced Conklin won the first two
rounds, but the burly Nittany Lion finished
with an impressive third round.
LHU's freshman, Dave Fields, 125, won
an easy 3-0 decision over Mansfield's Rob
McGrath, after a slow start. The rangy
Fields scored two eight-counts in both the
last two rounds, to walk away with the win.
Veteran
156-pounder,
Dwayne
Hightower also won a unanimous decision
over Mansfield's Brian Kelly, 3-0.
Although Hightower seemed to tire in the
third round, he had built up enough of a lead
in the first two rounds to garner the decision.
The Haven's 1996 National 119 pound
silver medalist, sophomore Eric Elmer,
moved up two weight classes to box
Mansfield graduate student Matt Schwenck,

BOXING

132, in an exciting bout. Elmer effectively
counter-punched
the
aggressive
Mountaineer, but Schwenck kept the pressure on and earned a 2-1 split decision.
According to Bald Eagle coach. Dr. Ken
Cox, "Elmer needs the best competition possible, even if it means moving up a weight
class or two. Winning at this stage of the
season is not an important factor, but getting
the best competition possible is vital."
Two other Haven boxers suffered defeats
on the 10-bout main card. Losing were
Andy Smith, 147, and veteran Tony
Penecale, 180. Smith was stopped in the
second round by a physically stronger Greg
Fielder of Penn State, while Penecale
dropped a 3-0 decision to Ship's senior. Rick
Dartone.
The bout was very close with the quicker Dartone scoring with the more effective
punches.
Three Bald Eagles, Tony Ward, 132,
Roland Kraus, 180, and Kris Dumont, 112,
earned victories on the afternoon preliminary (novice) card. Kraus was most impressive in stopping (RSC) Mansfield's Ken
Morales with a series of effective combinations in the third round.
Two Bald Eagles, Greg Baker, 139, and
super heavyweight. Bob Surovec, suffered
losses.
The Bald Eagle coaching staff consisting
of veterans Cox, Ken Cooper and Mike
Romanesky, were encouraged by the teams'
progress this fall.
The team will break from training after
Wednesday to concentrate on final exams
and resume training again next semester in
preparation for the annual "Boxerama" at
SUNY-Westchester on Jan. 25, 1997.

Grapplers shine through
very tough weekend
by Chris Nagy and Kevin Ransom
Eagle Eye Sports Reporters
Last Friday night the Lock Haven
University wrestling team traveled to
Pottsville's Martz Hall to take on Army in
the Take Down on Drugs Invitational.
Before the match, wrestlers from both
teams paid visits to the local elementary
schools to speak to the children about the
dangers of drugs and alcohol.
Lock Haven brought in a dual meet
record of 3-0; they left 4-0. The Bald Eagles
lost only two matches on its way to a 25-6
thumping of the Cadets.
Lock Haven jumped out to its usual 6-0
lead that it has gotten accustomed to with
wins by Mike Kusick at 118 pounds, and
Terry Showalter at 126. One
of the Haven's losses came
at 134 when Chad Kime
moved up a weight to take
on Stein Edwards. Kime
lost 5-1.
From 142 to
"murders
row"
ripped off five
straight decisions.
SophomoreBrent
Conly started the
tirade with an 8-5
win. Mike Rogers
stayed undefeated
with a 5-3 win over
Brad Fenske, maybe
the toughest competitor
Army had to offer.
Team captain Brian
Leitzel won by major decision with a 17-8
trouncing. Neil Barnes kept the winning
going with a gutsy 3-2 win over Brian
Chivers.
Barnes injured his elbow halfway
through the first period, but still held on for
the win. Mike Geurin iced the match for the
Bald Eagles with a 11-5 win over David
Wenberly.
At 190, Kevin Drew dropped a tough
one, 7-3, at the hands of Pat Maginn.
Maginn placed eighth at the recent Mat
Town Tourney. Finishing off a long night of
wrestling was Bill Bell at 275. Bell recorded a 6-4 decision to set the final score at 256.
The next night Lock Haven traveled to
Hershey Park Arena to grapple the No. 1
ranked Iowa Hawkeyes.
Head Coach Carl Poff was confident
after Friday night's win. "All in all I am
pretty happy with the results. We have made
a lot of progress in the last two weeks, it def-

WRESTLING
initely shows because we wrestled a solid
match."
Lock Haven lost 31-6, but the match
was a lot closer than the final score shows.
Iowa got off to a quick 12-0 lead after
decisions at 118 and 126 and a pin at 134.
The most exciting match of the afternoon came at 142 when Conly took on
Kasey Gilliss of Iowa. Gilliss led throughout the match and took a 9-7 lead of an
escape at the beginning of the third period.
Conly would not give up, even though it
seemed that he was the only one on the mat
wrestling at times. The referee saw that
too and awarded Conly two penalty [mints
for Gilliss's staling, the last one coming at
eight seconds in the match to tie it up at 99.
The 142 pound match then went into
overtime with Conly shooting in for a
quick takedown to end it and give Lock
Haven their first points of the match.
Conly received a standing ovation for
his victory, which pushed his season
record to 8-1 and is starting to become a
pleasant surprise for Head Coach Carl
Poff and Team Lock Haven.
The
150 pound
match was the
bout everyone
was waiting for.
Two-time
national
champion, Lincoln Mcllravy,
ranked No. 1 against LHU's AllAmerican
and three-time
PSAC
Champion Rogers, ranked No. 5.
Mcllravy jumped out to a quick 6-2
lead after the first (period and continued to
amaze the crowd with his speed and takedown abilities. Mcllravy compiled 12
takedowns in defeating Rogers 27-14 for a
major decision and a 16-3 Iowa lead.
The 158 division saw another National
Champion wrestler for Iowa, Joe Williams,
against LHU's Leitzel. Leitzel who hung
with Williams dropping a close 6-3 decision.
Lock Haven's only other team points
came from Mike Geurin at 177. Geurin
won a 10-6 decision to stay undefeated for
the season at 9-0. Ironically, Geurin had
the only win against Iowa two years ago
when these two wrestling powerhouses
faced Lock Haven, now 4-1 in the dual
season. LHU is off until January 6 when
they take on Duquesne University at
Thomas Field House at 7 p.m.

Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The Bald Eagle Men's and Women's
track teams started the action last weekend, at the Bucknell indoor track meet,
going head to head with some tough
Division I competition.
Considering this was the first meet of

Pennsylvania, Villanova University,
University of Maryland, and of course,
Bucknell.
Lock Haven placed several athletes
among the top five in their respective
events.
The men were led by senior Kyle
Waite in the shot put who finished fourth

run with a time of 1:58.41.

triple jump with a bound of 42"1'.
On the women's side. Junior Amy

meter hurdles finishing fourth with a time of
8.45. Parkes also placed third in the high

Two athletes honored in region
by Brian Ploskina
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The Lady Eagle Volleyball team closed
out what has been a spectacular season on
Nov. 22 in a five-set thriller with conference
rival Edinboro University in the Atlantic
Regional Tournament. The Ladies lost the
match 3-2(12-15, 6-15,16-14,15-8,13-15),
despite an incredible performance by Sarah
Curtis who had 25 kills and 20 digs.
It was the first five-set loss the Ladies
suffered all season. Until that match, LHU
was undefeated when the game went to its
final set.
The Lady Eagles had the lead in the final
set 8-2, but the teams switch sides of the net
when the first team reaches eight points.
Lock Haven lost the momentum during the
switch, and Edinboro used the break to collect themselves.
LHU Head Coach Tom Justice blames
the turn around on unforced errors. "We did
not pass as well as we were capable of," he
stated.
Edinboro went on to beat West Virginia
Weslyan University in the regional final, but
they lost to Central Missouri State in the
first round of the NCAA finals.
Coach Justice had nothing but high accolades for his squad. A team that finished the

VOLLEYBALL

I

season with a share of the PSAC-West title,
and then went on to win the PSAC championship. Their road continued to the second
seed in the Atlantic Regionals where they
finally lost to Edinboro.
"This team has blazed a trail that will
demonstrate to future LHU teams that this is
a very real and achievable goal," Justice
expounded. He added, "We're going to be
even better next year."
The Lady Eagles' accomplishments have
stretched to individual efforts as well.
Freshman Sarah Curtis and Senior Tara
Newcomer were both named to the AllAtlantic Region First Team. This honor is
only bestowed to six players throughout the
entire region which hosts over 50 division 11
schools.
"I was surprised,"- Curtis pointed out.
She added, "The awards will take care of
themselves, but I was really proud of our
team."
Newcomer was elated about the recognition. "It was a nice thing to top off the season," she stated, "I think this team will win
regionals next season."
