Trustees approve budget, discuss academics
By Kim Wilkinson
The 1985-86 fiscal budget was approved
Friday by the Council of Trustees.
. The budget is two-tier, as requested by
the Chancellor's office of the State System
of Higher Education (SSHE), according to
George Marshall, vice-president for administration. One tier is the budget with a
four percent increase, giving the University
$18,788,195. The other is a budget with a
fourteen percent increase and a total of
$19,830,237.
Matt Huber, student member of the
Council said that he felt there are certain
areas in which Lock Haven University
(LHU) could use improvement in, to help
strive toward academic excellence.
He feels that there should be a limit to the
number of times that a student can be on
academic probation and still return to
LHU.
He suggested that someone look into
classes which he says are known "cum
boosters." He named Introduction to Film
and Marriage and the Family as examples
and said that at least 10 others could be
named.
Huber said academic equipment should
be updated and the library should be open
more hours, especially during the weekend.
A required reading list should be
reinstituted, according to Huber, because
students are graduating from LHU with a
literary ignorance.
He also said an evaluation of professors
should be instituted and an honors program
started.
The other trustee members and adminstration said that if they could see these
recommendations in writing, they would
Sec wiiai Dr. Larry Lytle presented a slide show of
the Poland exchange program, which he
and Dr. Craig Willis, president of LHU experienced in January. Lytle said they visited
many cities, talked with professors and
students and visited quarters, which exchange students live in.
Bernard D o r n i s c h , professor of
math/computer science, questioned the
Council as to why continued education
courses are being offered to only 15 adults
and daytime students are not allowed to
participate, such as Accounting I.
Dr. Jt)hn Zaharis, vice-president of
academic affairs, said that the adult classes
pay for themselves and the size of those
classes is determined by the faculty member
teaching it.
Dr. Willis added that the University must
serve two needs, those of the students and
those of the ItKal people.
In his report to the Council, Dr. Willis
said the Fall enrollment is at 2624 and Summer enrollment was up eight percent.
Dr. Zaharis reported that 135 students
were dismissed for academic failure last spring semester. He said 125 students were
placed on academic probation and 112 were
removed from probation.
At prsent the average grade point average
for LHU is 2.537, according to Dr. Zaharis.
Dr. Douglas Campbell, president-elect,
LHU Chapter of the Association of Pennsylvania state College and University Faculty (APSCUF), reported that 94 percent of
the faculty are members of APSCUF,
which is the highest of all the State universities.
The next Council of Trustees meeting will
be on November 14.
Neighbors, police meet with Greeks
in forum to improve relations
By Paula Miller
If last Thursday's meeting was any indication, the times seem right for meaningful communication between the University's Greeks and the Lock Haven community.
The Associate Dean of Students, Tim
Susick, initiated the forum after speaking
with several homeowners on Susquehanna
Avenue. Susick, who oversees the fraternities and sororities here on campus, decided it was time to better the relations between the town and the Greeks.
Although the presentations of Interfraternity Council President Glen Ardis and
Panhellenic Council President Jennifer
Samuels were upbeat in nature, the community residents present highlighted the
negative.
Susick refereed the discussion, beginning
his part of the program by pointing to the
future of the Greek system, "We can't go
back and mend some fences that were
broken with some of the events that did
happen, we'd like to build a new road."
Susick added that although the Greek community has made important strides along
the road to improvement, "it's not 100 percent yet, but we are working to improve it. I
think we're just knocking the trees down
and making way for the road,"
Susick explained the new alcohol policy
that has been adopted by the University and
says that the new ideas have been readily accepted by the fraternities and sororities.
The fraternities "social events" have been
limited to weekends to help the academics
of the University and alleviate the disturbances to the neighbors.
Along with these changes, an All Greek
Judicial Board has been established. With
this board, community residents now have
an avenue to follow if they have any compliants with a sorority or fraternity. The
first step is a formal, written complaint.
From there the organization is informed of
the complaint against them. A hearing date
is set and both sides are eligible for legal
counsel. If the organization is found guilty,
sanctions are leveled against them.
Lock Haven Police Chief James Belcher
was also on hand to explain his part in the
scheme of things. Belcher admitted that the
"Greeks aren't the biggest problem on campus, they are the most visible." The chief
warned all campus groups that "if we have
some of the same types of things we had last
year, I'll mobilize all 13 people in the
department and I'll arrest some people."
This tough line was echoed by two Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB)
agents, also at the forum.
Agent William Kinnley explained the
Board's position on the fraternities "social
events". Kinnely emphasized that "arrests
will be made". He also commented on the
practice of charging admission to these parties, a topice which IFC President Ardis
would not address. According to Kinnely,
"They are considered 'constructive sales'
and they are illegal." Regarding voluntary
donations, the PLCB sees them as
"technically not constructive" but quickly
adds that voluntary donations can quickly
become involuntary.
As Susick and some of the Greeks present
pointed out, it's not a majority of the
brothers and sisters that cause the problems. Also, that some of the problems are
found at the independent boarding houses,
known to the students as the "Cave", the
" Z o o " and the "Asylum", among others.
The big concerns voiced by the residents
living near the Greek houses are the parties
and specifically the noise. Ardis assured
them that if ther are any complaints about
the fraternities, "the music will be turned
down and the parties will be stopped." One
resident's answer to that was, "It's all well
and good, if it works."
Not all Lock Haven natives have the
same pessimistic attitude. Several in attendance expressed a desired to get together
with tlie Greeks oii campus and get to know
the system and the studens better. Some
even went so far as to comment the fraternities. One man, who has lived across from
Sigma Pi for a number of years congratulated the brothers, "So far this year,
things have been better at Sigma Pi than
they have been in the past ten years." Yet
another neighbor commented, "We've got
to commend these particular groups of
students."
Those at the forum liked the idea of getting together and talking out the problems,
and would like to see more adventures in
this area. To this, Susick answered with a
promise to have smaller get togethers with
the neighbors of various Greek houses.

Testmania'' Strikes
Three weeks of school has come and gone and classes, for the
most part, have consisted of taking a few notes and reading a couple
chapters.
Brace yourself now (especially you first-year students) for what is
and will soon be known as "Testmania."
Doesn't it seem to happen year after year, semester after semester?
All of your tests come in the same week or two. The first 3-4 weeks you
are looking for something to do in your free time and now you're searching for a breath of air. This is known as "Testmania."
I know some people believe that ail your tests in the same week will,
in the long run, help your studies. But I believe that if the tests were
spread out a little more then that would be the best for your studies.
But then you have the unsolveable problem of spreading the tests
out. Most professors teach in 4-5 week sessions and this is why we
get jammed up. All the tests come up at the same time.
Although there probably isn't an answer to "Testmania," I'd still like
to hear some suggestions. Meanwhile, I hope you survive the next two
weeks. Take plenty of deep breaths.

Men finish fourth
By Christa Landas
The Bald Eagle men's cross-country team
finished in fourth place Saturday in a
quadrangular meet held at Mansfield.
RIT took the top place honors with a
total of only 24 points. They were followed
by Mansfield, Lemoyne, and the Lock
Haven squad. The Eagles tallied a score of
79 points. Canasius finished in the last place
position in the five team meet.
The first man across the line was an RIT
runner, Tim O'Grady. O'Grady clocked a
24:56 over the tough, hilly course.
Bud Murphy was the first Bald Eagle to
fly across the finish line. Murphy came in at
the ninth spot for a time o f 26:04.
Mike Eidenshink and Andy Shearer
flnished together taking the 14th and ISth
places.
Ken Toner copped the 19th spot, and
Craig Yakscoe came in 22nd to round out
the Lock Haven top five.
The remainder of the men's squad finished as follows: Kevin McNamara, 29th; Al
Yocca, 31st; Bill Hunter, 32nd; Doug Kiss,
33rd; Joe Madrak, 35th; and Chip Miller,
37th.
Lock Haven's loss to Mansfield brings
their conference record to 2-2.
Coach James Dolan said, "We were expecting to take fourth, and we got fourth.
RIT and Lemoyne are two o f the toughest
teams in New York. We did fairly well. I
guess I'd have to say that I was pleased."
Coach Dolan is looking forward to this
Saturday's meet with Susquehanna and
Bloomsburg. The match will be held at Susquehanna to 2:00 p.m.
Women split two
By Christa Landas
The Lady Eagles cross-country team split
in a double dual meet this Saturday at East
Stroudsburg.
ESU defeated Lock Haven by a score of
17-39. But the Eagles were strong enough to
overcome another conference
foe,
Bloomsburg, by a 27-28 squeaker.
Georgianna Messinger of
East
Stroudsburg was the overall winner in the
competition with a time of 18:28.
Finishing in the fourth position was Lock
Haven's own Betsy Potter. She ran to a
time of 20:49.
Coach Leroy Straley said, "Betsy ran extremely well considering that she is still
recovering from illness."
Pam Noll sped across the line next for the
L H U harriers for a seventh place finish.
"Pam had another consistently strong
performance and is improving with every
race," commented Straley.
Helping to clench the win over
Bloomsburg was Maureen Fry. She passed
three Bloom runners in the last mile to
assure the Bald Eagle team of a narrow but
satisfying win over the Huskies. Fry gVabbed the tenth place spot.
Carol Bashore and Lisa Sagan rounded
Out the Haven top five.
Coach Straley felt that both Bashore and
Sagan responded to the pressure o f this
double dual meet and ran strong.
The Lady Eagle harriers have this week
off which Coach Leroy Straley thinks
should help his team recover from
numerous illnesses.
"The rest of the season will be a
struggle," said Straley. " W e need to get
our runners healthy in order to be competitive for the remainder of the season."

Hockey loses to Maryland, beats American
By Christa Landas
A split decision this weekend leaves the
Lady Bald Eagle field hockey team with a
season record of 4-3.
The University of Maryland defeated
Lock Haven in a close contest Saturday ending with a final score of 2-1.
Sunday the Eagles regrouped and downed American University, 3-1.
Maryland's record goes to 5-1 after their
victory over LHU. But the Lady Eagles can
be proud knowing that they are only the second team so far this season to score against
nationally ranked MU.
Old Dominion, ranked No. I in the country, was the other team that scored on
Maryland and beat them, 1-0.
Lock Haven's only goal came in the second half. At the 24:07 mark. Sherry Derr
made a diving score that was assisted by
Lori Ferguson.
Maryland's goals came in the first half.
Anysia Fedec pushed in an easy score just
3:45 into the half. Then they came back 30
seconds later with a solidly hit goal by Kelli
Bisco.
LHU's Bev Young made a great save in
the first half. She blocked a ball at the net
that had gotten past Bald Eagle goalie, Kate
Murphy. This set up a penalty stroke that
Murphy knocked down and thus stopped
Maryland's scoring drive for the rest of the
contest.
Both Lady Eagle goalies had a super
game against Maryland according to Coach
Sharon Taylor.
Murphy had II big saves including the
penalty stroke stop at the 15:22 point of the
first half. And sophomore goalie, Lori Sannella, added another five great stops in the
match.
Goalie Kim Chorosiewski of MU didn't
have much action on her end of the fieldand was only forced to save six shots at the
..et.
Coach Sharon Taylor said, "We looked
awful. Nobody was in a position to do
anything. We didn't pressure them at all. It
was not one of our better performances."
Sunday's performance against American
University was much better for the Lady
Eagles.
Sherry Derr and Ginny Neiss were the
story in this liiatch up.
Derr scored at the 22:20 mark of the first
half on an assist from Neiss. Eight minutes
later, Derr again scored, but this time it was
an unassisted hat trick.
Derr was forced to leave the game shortly
after her second goal because of an injury.
iShe was hit in the head with a field hockey
stick, taken to a nearby hospital, and
received four stitches. But Sherry was
otherwise all right.
LHU freshman Tammy Flowers scored
her first varsity goal of the season off an
assist from Neiss.
Murphy and Sannella were able to lounge
in the net as each were only made to save
one shot a piece. American goalies, Kathy
Handschin and Suzanne Gallager combined
for 14 saves.
Lock Haven held a big edge in shots over
American University, 43-12. The Lady
Eagles also cornered the market on penalty
corners with nine to American's three.
Coach Taylor said, "Our team played
better. It took us about ten minutes to get
going, but then we played well."
Taylor singled out Denise Adams and
Neiss as playing well defensively against the
University of Maryland. And Taylor also
singled out Adams and Derr for their super
play against American University.
The Haven field h Bucknell on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. in hopes
of upping their season record.
Late FG Kayos Gridders hopes for first victory
By Dave Walters
The Bald Eagles football squad watched
their chances for their first victory slip away
as Mansfield's Bob Whitmer booted a
28-yard field goal with 32 seconds to play to
give the Mounties a 13-10 triumph last
Saturday.
Head coach Jack Fisher said,"I'm disappointed we didn't win. We did some good
things. The kids did what they were supposed to do. But we couldn't come up with the
win. It's frustrating."
LHU's gridders are now 0-3 after their
loss to the Mounties. The Eagles have been
outscored 63-24 in their first three outings.
Mansfield struck tirst Diouu in liie gauic
as their sure-toed kicker, Whitmer, nailed a
41-yard field gaol to take a 3-0 lead. With
just seven ticks on the clock before
halftime, freshman Don Ellis chipped in a
25-yard boot to dead lock the slate.
After the intermission, the mountaineers
drove the ball into Bald Eagle territory and
regained the lead on a 27-yard pass from
quarterback Don Faulstick to slotback
Doug O'Conners. Whitmer kicked the extra
point.
The Eagles bounced back on the very
next play. Freshman Steve Gluek returned
the mounties kick off 60-yards to the
Mansfield 36 yard line The Haven then
Booters beat Edinboro, 3-0
By Mark Mahoney
Even though the LHU soccer team didn't
put on their best showing of the year, it
managed a 3-0 victory at Edinboro on
Saturday. The win evened the Bald Eagles'
record at 3-3.
Sean Perry scored on a pass from Erik
Wilhelm in the first half to give the Bald
Eagle a 1-0 lead. The game stayed that way
nearly thirty minutes into the second half,
even though the Bald Eagles were getting
many shots on goal. The twelfth ranked
Bald Eagles should have put Edinboro
away much earlier.
Keith Betts provided some spark for the
team by assisting on a Kevin York goal 29
minutes into the second half and following
up three minutes later with one of his own
on an assistant from Terry Flynn. That's
the way it ended.
The Bald Eagles did not play as well as
expected against an inferior club. Head
Coach Lenny Long said, "we did not play
well against Edinboro. We can't play like
that against to win a lot of games." He also
added that the team did not need to concentrate as much against a team like Edinboro,
as they would have to against stiffer competition, so that might have had something
to do with the team's performance.
The Bald Eagles will face Ithaca at home
on Wednesday, and they will have to perform better.
Long addded, "I felt we played better in
our loss to FlU than we did Saturday." The
Bald Eagles had all of last week off following their trip to Michigan last weekend.
When asked if the week off affected the
teams performance. Long said, "We needed the week off to get things together." The
Bald Eagles will be swinging into a tough
part of their schedule so they need that.
All three LHU victories this year have
been by shutout. Wednesday's game will
beging at 3:00 p.m.
sack. Freshman cornerback Nick Biscontini
had a fumble recovery in the contest.
The Eagles will open their Western division season this Saturday at Jack Stadium
against Shippensburg. Ship fell to conference favorite Clarion this past weekend
on a last second field goal.
Ship is led by quarterback Mark Beans
who has 639 yards in just three games. The
Red Raiders running attack is led by
halfback Tom Miller, who was AllPennsylvania Conference Western Division.
The Eagles will face off against Ship at 2
p.m. at Hubert Jack Stadium.
Murgia champ at lUP tournament
By Karen Meriie
Six of the top tennis teams came together
at Indiana University of Pennsylvania on
Saturday as lUP hosted Edinboro, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock, West Chester,
and our Lady Eagles.
Each match was broken down by seeds.
Number one to number six in singles, and
number one to three in doubles action.
Lock Haven's champ was Roxanne
Murgia. She won the number three singles
by scores of (6-3, 6-1), and (6-3, 7-6).
Murgia won in the finals over Angela Towel
of Shippensburg.
Roxanne also won in the number two
doubles pairings with partner Edna Roth.
They won in straight sets in three matches.
Bad luck hit Lock Haven in the number
one pairings. Freshman Autumn Swisher
turned her ankle going after a drop shot.
Swisher couldn't continue action and had
to default. This knocked her and doubles
partner Holly Reitzel out of their matches.
Swisher will be having extensive tests on her
ankle this week.
Reitzel had a fine showing for Lock
Haven in the number two seedings. She
won her first two rounds by the scores of
(6-1, 6-2) and (6-4, 1-6, 7-6). Holly came up
one match short, losing to Mez Chilcott in
the finals.
Edna Roth, the number four singles
player, had a fair day in singles play. She
won her first match easily, (6-2, 6-0). Roth
then fell to defeat in the second round (6-4,
6-0) to Sue Smidlein.
Kelly Piatt and Denise Torelli lost first
round singles matches and teamed up in
doubles losing in their first match.
Lock Haven didn't repeat as the tourney
champions but they did have a fine showing. Results of team standings were not
reported.
Coach Carol Ritter and the ladies will
continue season play today against Shippensburg, at 3:00 p.m.

Marshall: Budget tight but college alright financially
By John H. Furnish
The college is not in any financial trouble, but the budget is rather tight, according
to George Marshall, vice-president for administration.
As one of the fourteen public institutions
of higher education in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, Lock Haven (LHU)
receives funds from the State for its operational costs. According to Marshall, this
money is allocated to the Universities in one
large fund by the Pennsylvania State
Legislature. It is then divided among the
schools according to a formula which provides schools like Indiana State University,
Slippery Rock and Kutztown with 10"% of
the entire budget, and LHU with only 5.5%
($18,607,000 yearly). "The formula is not
perfect, "The formula is not perfect," said
Marshall. "How it works is another article
in itself."
For instance, according to John
Gallagher of the Purchasing department,
Indiana St. U. has a ten-story dorm. High
Hall of LHU has three storys, yet it costs
the same amount to maintain either
building. It is similar with the entire campuses. While LHU is somewhat smaller
than Indiana St. U., it needs the same funds
to operate as the latter.
While this school can operate efficiently
with its present budget, there has been a
number of projects that have been deferred,
such as re-roofing one campus building.
However, no major projects have ever been
deferred because of funding.
"Most of our major projects come
through separate appropriation," said Marshall.
One drain on funds is the massive (and
growing) insurance cost, particularly the
workman's insurance fund, which rose in
cost by $100,000 last year. This is because
of a rate increase some years ago from 5%
to 6.25% in employee contribution. Every
union in the Commonwealth opposed this.
Thus, the schools had to pick up the tab.
Part of the problem is that LHU is prohibited from soliciting private insurance by
law.
"Last year, the total fee (on Workman's
Insurance Fund) was $110,000, which is not
unreasonable for a school this size," said
Marshall. "This year it went up to
$216,000. It's a figure we have no control of
at all. The rate is set by the Department of
Labor."
"It is based on your risk. In other words,
how many workman's compensation claims
you have. If you operate a coal mine, you
pay a very high premium. If you run a normal office, you'll pay a very low premium.
College fall somewhere above a normal office.
"The school district (of Lock Haven)
pays a little bit less than we paid last year
because they have a private insurer. But the
State Workman's Insurance Fund sets its
rate and notifies us of what the rate will be.
And that is the only notice we get. We have
no advance warning.
"Right now, the Board of Presidents and
the Chancellor's Office are trying to get
that either reversed or get permission by
buy our own insurance," continued Marshall.
"By the time you get through paying
salaries (which rose 5% this year) and
premiums, you don't have a helluva lot left.
And we still have, in operating expenses.
another $4,130,000."
Another comforting item is the amount
of legislative support lent to LHU by State
Senator Doyle Corman (of the Penn State
area) and Representative Russell P. Letterman, both of whom Marshall says are
"totally supportive" of the institution,
leaving it well represented in the Pennsylvania State Legislature. Because of the
hard work of Representative Letterman,
Thomas Field House was renovated at a
cost of $3,000,000.

Trustees approve budget, discuss academics
By Kim Wilkinson
The 1985-86 fiscal budget was approved
Friday by the Council of Trustees.
. The budget is two-tier, as requested by
the Chancellor's office of the State System
of Higher Education (SSHE), according to
George Marshall, vice-president for administration. One tier is the budget with a
four percent increase, giving the University
$18,788,195. The other is a budget with a
fourteen percent increase and a total of
$19,830,237.
Matt Huber, student member of the
Council said that he felt there are certain
areas in which Lock Haven University
(LHU) could use improvement in, to help
strive toward academic excellence.
He feels that there should be a limit to the
number of times that a student can be on
academic probation and still return to
LHU.
He suggested that someone look into
classes which he says are known "cum
boosters." He named Introduction to Film
and Marriage and the Family as examples
and said that at least 10 others could be
named.
Huber said academic equipment should
be updated and the library should be open
more hours, especially during the weekend.
A required reading list should be
reinstituted, according to Huber, because
students are graduating from LHU with a
literary ignorance.
He also said an evaluation of professors
should be instituted and an honors program
started.
The other trustee members and adminstration said that if they could see these
recommendations in writing, they would
Sec wiiai Dr. Larry Lytle presented a slide show of
the Poland exchange program, which he
and Dr. Craig Willis, president of LHU experienced in January. Lytle said they visited
many cities, talked with professors and
students and visited quarters, which exchange students live in.
Bernard D o r n i s c h , professor of
math/computer science, questioned the
Council as to why continued education
courses are being offered to only 15 adults
and daytime students are not allowed to
participate, such as Accounting I.
Dr. Jt)hn Zaharis, vice-president of
academic affairs, said that the adult classes
pay for themselves and the size of those
classes is determined by the faculty member
teaching it.
Dr. Willis added that the University must
serve two needs, those of the students and
those of the ItKal people.
In his report to the Council, Dr. Willis
said the Fall enrollment is at 2624 and Summer enrollment was up eight percent.
Dr. Zaharis reported that 135 students
were dismissed for academic failure last spring semester. He said 125 students were
placed on academic probation and 112 were
removed from probation.
At prsent the average grade point average
for LHU is 2.537, according to Dr. Zaharis.
Dr. Douglas Campbell, president-elect,
LHU Chapter of the Association of Pennsylvania state College and University Faculty (APSCUF), reported that 94 percent of
the faculty are members of APSCUF,
which is the highest of all the State universities.
The next Council of Trustees meeting will
be on November 14.
Neighbors, police meet with Greeks
in forum to improve relations
By Paula Miller
If last Thursday's meeting was any indication, the times seem right for meaningful communication between the University's Greeks and the Lock Haven community.
The Associate Dean of Students, Tim
Susick, initiated the forum after speaking
with several homeowners on Susquehanna
Avenue. Susick, who oversees the fraternities and sororities here on campus, decided it was time to better the relations between the town and the Greeks.
Although the presentations of Interfraternity Council President Glen Ardis and
Panhellenic Council President Jennifer
Samuels were upbeat in nature, the community residents present highlighted the
negative.
Susick refereed the discussion, beginning
his part of the program by pointing to the
future of the Greek system, "We can't go
back and mend some fences that were
broken with some of the events that did
happen, we'd like to build a new road."
Susick added that although the Greek community has made important strides along
the road to improvement, "it's not 100 percent yet, but we are working to improve it. I
think we're just knocking the trees down
and making way for the road,"
Susick explained the new alcohol policy
that has been adopted by the University and
says that the new ideas have been readily accepted by the fraternities and sororities.
The fraternities "social events" have been
limited to weekends to help the academics
of the University and alleviate the disturbances to the neighbors.
Along with these changes, an All Greek
Judicial Board has been established. With
this board, community residents now have
an avenue to follow if they have any compliants with a sorority or fraternity. The
first step is a formal, written complaint.
From there the organization is informed of
the complaint against them. A hearing date
is set and both sides are eligible for legal
counsel. If the organization is found guilty,
sanctions are leveled against them.
Lock Haven Police Chief James Belcher
was also on hand to explain his part in the
scheme of things. Belcher admitted that the
"Greeks aren't the biggest problem on campus, they are the most visible." The chief
warned all campus groups that "if we have
some of the same types of things we had last
year, I'll mobilize all 13 people in the
department and I'll arrest some people."
This tough line was echoed by two Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB)
agents, also at the forum.
Agent William Kinnley explained the
Board's position on the fraternities "social
events". Kinnely emphasized that "arrests
will be made". He also commented on the
practice of charging admission to these parties, a topice which IFC President Ardis
would not address. According to Kinnely,
"They are considered 'constructive sales'
and they are illegal." Regarding voluntary
donations, the PLCB sees them as
"technically not constructive" but quickly
adds that voluntary donations can quickly
become involuntary.
As Susick and some of the Greeks present
pointed out, it's not a majority of the
brothers and sisters that cause the problems. Also, that some of the problems are
found at the independent boarding houses,
known to the students as the "Cave", the
" Z o o " and the "Asylum", among others.
The big concerns voiced by the residents
living near the Greek houses are the parties
and specifically the noise. Ardis assured
them that if ther are any complaints about
the fraternities, "the music will be turned
down and the parties will be stopped." One
resident's answer to that was, "It's all well
and good, if it works."
Not all Lock Haven natives have the
same pessimistic attitude. Several in attendance expressed a desired to get together
with tlie Greeks oii campus and get to know
the system and the studens better. Some
even went so far as to comment the fraternities. One man, who has lived across from
Sigma Pi for a number of years congratulated the brothers, "So far this year,
things have been better at Sigma Pi than
they have been in the past ten years." Yet
another neighbor commented, "We've got
to commend these particular groups of
students."
Those at the forum liked the idea of getting together and talking out the problems,
and would like to see more adventures in
this area. To this, Susick answered with a
promise to have smaller get togethers with
the neighbors of various Greek houses.

Testmania'' Strikes
Three weeks of school has come and gone and classes, for the
most part, have consisted of taking a few notes and reading a couple
chapters.
Brace yourself now (especially you first-year students) for what is
and will soon be known as "Testmania."
Doesn't it seem to happen year after year, semester after semester?
All of your tests come in the same week or two. The first 3-4 weeks you
are looking for something to do in your free time and now you're searching for a breath of air. This is known as "Testmania."
I know some people believe that ail your tests in the same week will,
in the long run, help your studies. But I believe that if the tests were
spread out a little more then that would be the best for your studies.
But then you have the unsolveable problem of spreading the tests
out. Most professors teach in 4-5 week sessions and this is why we
get jammed up. All the tests come up at the same time.
Although there probably isn't an answer to "Testmania," I'd still like
to hear some suggestions. Meanwhile, I hope you survive the next two
weeks. Take plenty of deep breaths.

Men finish fourth
By Christa Landas
The Bald Eagle men's cross-country team
finished in fourth place Saturday in a
quadrangular meet held at Mansfield.
RIT took the top place honors with a
total of only 24 points. They were followed
by Mansfield, Lemoyne, and the Lock
Haven squad. The Eagles tallied a score of
79 points. Canasius finished in the last place
position in the five team meet.
The first man across the line was an RIT
runner, Tim O'Grady. O'Grady clocked a
24:56 over the tough, hilly course.
Bud Murphy was the first Bald Eagle to
fly across the finish line. Murphy came in at
the ninth spot for a time o f 26:04.
Mike Eidenshink and Andy Shearer
flnished together taking the 14th and ISth
places.
Ken Toner copped the 19th spot, and
Craig Yakscoe came in 22nd to round out
the Lock Haven top five.
The remainder of the men's squad finished as follows: Kevin McNamara, 29th; Al
Yocca, 31st; Bill Hunter, 32nd; Doug Kiss,
33rd; Joe Madrak, 35th; and Chip Miller,
37th.
Lock Haven's loss to Mansfield brings
their conference record to 2-2.
Coach James Dolan said, "We were expecting to take fourth, and we got fourth.
RIT and Lemoyne are two o f the toughest
teams in New York. We did fairly well. I
guess I'd have to say that I was pleased."
Coach Dolan is looking forward to this
Saturday's meet with Susquehanna and
Bloomsburg. The match will be held at Susquehanna to 2:00 p.m.
Women split two
By Christa Landas
The Lady Eagles cross-country team split
in a double dual meet this Saturday at East
Stroudsburg.
ESU defeated Lock Haven by a score of
17-39. But the Eagles were strong enough to
overcome another conference
foe,
Bloomsburg, by a 27-28 squeaker.
Georgianna Messinger of
East
Stroudsburg was the overall winner in the
competition with a time of 18:28.
Finishing in the fourth position was Lock
Haven's own Betsy Potter. She ran to a
time of 20:49.
Coach Leroy Straley said, "Betsy ran extremely well considering that she is still
recovering from illness."
Pam Noll sped across the line next for the
L H U harriers for a seventh place finish.
"Pam had another consistently strong
performance and is improving with every
race," commented Straley.
Helping to clench the win over
Bloomsburg was Maureen Fry. She passed
three Bloom runners in the last mile to
assure the Bald Eagle team of a narrow but
satisfying win over the Huskies. Fry gVabbed the tenth place spot.
Carol Bashore and Lisa Sagan rounded
Out the Haven top five.
Coach Straley felt that both Bashore and
Sagan responded to the pressure o f this
double dual meet and ran strong.
The Lady Eagle harriers have this week
off which Coach Leroy Straley thinks
should help his team recover from
numerous illnesses.
"The rest of the season will be a
struggle," said Straley. " W e need to get
our runners healthy in order to be competitive for the remainder of the season."

Hockey loses to Maryland, beats American
By Christa Landas
A split decision this weekend leaves the
Lady Bald Eagle field hockey team with a
season record of 4-3.
The University of Maryland defeated
Lock Haven in a close contest Saturday ending with a final score of 2-1.
Sunday the Eagles regrouped and downed American University, 3-1.
Maryland's record goes to 5-1 after their
victory over LHU. But the Lady Eagles can
be proud knowing that they are only the second team so far this season to score against
nationally ranked MU.
Old Dominion, ranked No. I in the country, was the other team that scored on
Maryland and beat them, 1-0.
Lock Haven's only goal came in the second half. At the 24:07 mark. Sherry Derr
made a diving score that was assisted by
Lori Ferguson.
Maryland's goals came in the first half.
Anysia Fedec pushed in an easy score just
3:45 into the half. Then they came back 30
seconds later with a solidly hit goal by Kelli
Bisco.
LHU's Bev Young made a great save in
the first half. She blocked a ball at the net
that had gotten past Bald Eagle goalie, Kate
Murphy. This set up a penalty stroke that
Murphy knocked down and thus stopped
Maryland's scoring drive for the rest of the
contest.
Both Lady Eagle goalies had a super
game against Maryland according to Coach
Sharon Taylor.
Murphy had II big saves including the
penalty stroke stop at the 15:22 point of the
first half. And sophomore goalie, Lori Sannella, added another five great stops in the
match.
Goalie Kim Chorosiewski of MU didn't
have much action on her end of the fieldand was only forced to save six shots at the
..et.
Coach Sharon Taylor said, "We looked
awful. Nobody was in a position to do
anything. We didn't pressure them at all. It
was not one of our better performances."
Sunday's performance against American
University was much better for the Lady
Eagles.
Sherry Derr and Ginny Neiss were the
story in this liiatch up.
Derr scored at the 22:20 mark of the first
half on an assist from Neiss. Eight minutes
later, Derr again scored, but this time it was
an unassisted hat trick.
Derr was forced to leave the game shortly
after her second goal because of an injury.
iShe was hit in the head with a field hockey
stick, taken to a nearby hospital, and
received four stitches. But Sherry was
otherwise all right.
LHU freshman Tammy Flowers scored
her first varsity goal of the season off an
assist from Neiss.
Murphy and Sannella were able to lounge
in the net as each were only made to save
one shot a piece. American goalies, Kathy
Handschin and Suzanne Gallager combined
for 14 saves.
Lock Haven held a big edge in shots over
American University, 43-12. The Lady
Eagles also cornered the market on penalty
corners with nine to American's three.
Coach Taylor said, "Our team played
better. It took us about ten minutes to get
going, but then we played well."
Taylor singled out Denise Adams and
Neiss as playing well defensively against the
University of Maryland. And Taylor also
singled out Adams and Derr for their super
play against American University.
The Haven field h Bucknell on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. in hopes
of upping their season record.
Late FG Kayos Gridders hopes for first victory
By Dave Walters
The Bald Eagles football squad watched
their chances for their first victory slip away
as Mansfield's Bob Whitmer booted a
28-yard field goal with 32 seconds to play to
give the Mounties a 13-10 triumph last
Saturday.
Head coach Jack Fisher said,"I'm disappointed we didn't win. We did some good
things. The kids did what they were supposed to do. But we couldn't come up with the
win. It's frustrating."
LHU's gridders are now 0-3 after their
loss to the Mounties. The Eagles have been
outscored 63-24 in their first three outings.
Mansfield struck tirst Diouu in liie gauic
as their sure-toed kicker, Whitmer, nailed a
41-yard field gaol to take a 3-0 lead. With
just seven ticks on the clock before
halftime, freshman Don Ellis chipped in a
25-yard boot to dead lock the slate.
After the intermission, the mountaineers
drove the ball into Bald Eagle territory and
regained the lead on a 27-yard pass from
quarterback Don Faulstick to slotback
Doug O'Conners. Whitmer kicked the extra
point.
The Eagles bounced back on the very
next play. Freshman Steve Gluek returned
the mounties kick off 60-yards to the
Mansfield 36 yard line The Haven then
Booters beat Edinboro, 3-0
By Mark Mahoney
Even though the LHU soccer team didn't
put on their best showing of the year, it
managed a 3-0 victory at Edinboro on
Saturday. The win evened the Bald Eagles'
record at 3-3.
Sean Perry scored on a pass from Erik
Wilhelm in the first half to give the Bald
Eagle a 1-0 lead. The game stayed that way
nearly thirty minutes into the second half,
even though the Bald Eagles were getting
many shots on goal. The twelfth ranked
Bald Eagles should have put Edinboro
away much earlier.
Keith Betts provided some spark for the
team by assisting on a Kevin York goal 29
minutes into the second half and following
up three minutes later with one of his own
on an assistant from Terry Flynn. That's
the way it ended.
The Bald Eagles did not play as well as
expected against an inferior club. Head
Coach Lenny Long said, "we did not play
well against Edinboro. We can't play like
that against to win a lot of games." He also
added that the team did not need to concentrate as much against a team like Edinboro,
as they would have to against stiffer competition, so that might have had something
to do with the team's performance.
The Bald Eagles will face Ithaca at home
on Wednesday, and they will have to perform better.
Long addded, "I felt we played better in
our loss to FlU than we did Saturday." The
Bald Eagles had all of last week off following their trip to Michigan last weekend.
When asked if the week off affected the
teams performance. Long said, "We needed the week off to get things together." The
Bald Eagles will be swinging into a tough
part of their schedule so they need that.
All three LHU victories this year have
been by shutout. Wednesday's game will
beging at 3:00 p.m.
sack. Freshman cornerback Nick Biscontini
had a fumble recovery in the contest.
The Eagles will open their Western division season this Saturday at Jack Stadium
against Shippensburg. Ship fell to conference favorite Clarion this past weekend
on a last second field goal.
Ship is led by quarterback Mark Beans
who has 639 yards in just three games. The
Red Raiders running attack is led by
halfback Tom Miller, who was AllPennsylvania Conference Western Division.
The Eagles will face off against Ship at 2
p.m. at Hubert Jack Stadium.
Murgia champ at lUP tournament
By Karen Meriie
Six of the top tennis teams came together
at Indiana University of Pennsylvania on
Saturday as lUP hosted Edinboro, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock, West Chester,
and our Lady Eagles.
Each match was broken down by seeds.
Number one to number six in singles, and
number one to three in doubles action.
Lock Haven's champ was Roxanne
Murgia. She won the number three singles
by scores of (6-3, 6-1), and (6-3, 7-6).
Murgia won in the finals over Angela Towel
of Shippensburg.
Roxanne also won in the number two
doubles pairings with partner Edna Roth.
They won in straight sets in three matches.
Bad luck hit Lock Haven in the number
one pairings. Freshman Autumn Swisher
turned her ankle going after a drop shot.
Swisher couldn't continue action and had
to default. This knocked her and doubles
partner Holly Reitzel out of their matches.
Swisher will be having extensive tests on her
ankle this week.
Reitzel had a fine showing for Lock
Haven in the number two seedings. She
won her first two rounds by the scores of
(6-1, 6-2) and (6-4, 1-6, 7-6). Holly came up
one match short, losing to Mez Chilcott in
the finals.
Edna Roth, the number four singles
player, had a fair day in singles play. She
won her first match easily, (6-2, 6-0). Roth
then fell to defeat in the second round (6-4,
6-0) to Sue Smidlein.
Kelly Piatt and Denise Torelli lost first
round singles matches and teamed up in
doubles losing in their first match.
Lock Haven didn't repeat as the tourney
champions but they did have a fine showing. Results of team standings were not
reported.
Coach Carol Ritter and the ladies will
continue season play today against Shippensburg, at 3:00 p.m.

Marshall: Budget tight but college alright financially
By John H. Furnish
The college is not in any financial trouble, but the budget is rather tight, according
to George Marshall, vice-president for administration.
As one of the fourteen public institutions
of higher education in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, Lock Haven (LHU)
receives funds from the State for its operational costs. According to Marshall, this
money is allocated to the Universities in one
large fund by the Pennsylvania State
Legislature. It is then divided among the
schools according to a formula which provides schools like Indiana State University,
Slippery Rock and Kutztown with 10"% of
the entire budget, and LHU with only 5.5%
($18,607,000 yearly). "The formula is not
perfect, "The formula is not perfect," said
Marshall. "How it works is another article
in itself."
For instance, according to John
Gallagher of the Purchasing department,
Indiana St. U. has a ten-story dorm. High
Hall of LHU has three storys, yet it costs
the same amount to maintain either
building. It is similar with the entire campuses. While LHU is somewhat smaller
than Indiana St. U., it needs the same funds
to operate as the latter.
While this school can operate efficiently
with its present budget, there has been a
number of projects that have been deferred,
such as re-roofing one campus building.
However, no major projects have ever been
deferred because of funding.
"Most of our major projects come
through separate appropriation," said Marshall.
One drain on funds is the massive (and
growing) insurance cost, particularly the
workman's insurance fund, which rose in
cost by $100,000 last year. This is because
of a rate increase some years ago from 5%
to 6.25% in employee contribution. Every
union in the Commonwealth opposed this.
Thus, the schools had to pick up the tab.
Part of the problem is that LHU is prohibited from soliciting private insurance by
law.
"Last year, the total fee (on Workman's
Insurance Fund) was $110,000, which is not
unreasonable for a school this size," said
Marshall. "This year it went up to
$216,000. It's a figure we have no control of
at all. The rate is set by the Department of
Labor."
"It is based on your risk. In other words,
how many workman's compensation claims
you have. If you operate a coal mine, you
pay a very high premium. If you run a normal office, you'll pay a very low premium.
College fall somewhere above a normal office.
"The school district (of Lock Haven)
pays a little bit less than we paid last year
because they have a private insurer. But the
State Workman's Insurance Fund sets its
rate and notifies us of what the rate will be.
And that is the only notice we get. We have
no advance warning.
"Right now, the Board of Presidents and
the Chancellor's Office are trying to get
that either reversed or get permission by
buy our own insurance," continued Marshall.
"By the time you get through paying
salaries (which rose 5% this year) and
premiums, you don't have a helluva lot left.
And we still have, in operating expenses.
another $4,130,000."
Another comforting item is the amount
of legislative support lent to LHU by State
Senator Doyle Corman (of the Penn State
area) and Representative Russell P. Letterman, both of whom Marshall says are
"totally supportive" of the institution,
leaving it well represented in the Pennsylvania State Legislature. Because of the
hard work of Representative Letterman,
Thomas Field House was renovated at a
cost of $3,000,000.
