Sigma Pi fraternity officially rechartered
affairs, sent a formal letter of recognition.
Speeches were made by Dr. Fields and
Dr. Clay Kleckly, Sigma Pi's faculty advisor.
Dr. Kleckly congratulated the brotherhood and spoke of his pride in their
achievement, saying that lesser groups
would not have hung together through all of
the rough times.
Sigma Pi lost its charter in 1988. The
remaining brothers reformed as a club using
Beta Omega, the original chapter letters, as
a name.
The club spent the next seven years
going through various attempts to regain
status and were finally recolonized by the
Sigma Pi national fraternity on Feb. 14,
1995.
According to University regulations, a
group that wishes to become a recognized
fraternity must fill many requirements.
Chapter President Brian Hagenbuch
described the process that the colony had to
go through.

On Nov. 23, 1996, the Beta Omega
chapter of Sigma Pi Fraternity was officially rechartered by their National Council.
Sigma Pi is now a fully fledged social fraternity with voting privileges in the
Interfraternity Council (IFC).
In a formal ceremony held by Sigma Pi
Grand Council, the brotherhood was presented with their new charter and the brothers were formally inducted into the organization.
The new charter was presented again
later that night at the Sigma Pi Winter
Formal at the Williamsport Sheraton.
President Brian Hagenbuch accepted the
charter from Sigma Pi Grand Sage Dr. Jack
Fields after a formal dinner and several
speeches.
No members of the University administration were able to attend, however. Dr.

Petitioning organizations must perform
four seperate service projects, raise $1000
for their national philanthropy, gain recognition from the Interfraternity Council and
the Vice President of Student Affairs, folIpw all IFC and Student Cooperative
Council (SCC) guidelines, and submit a list
of short term and long range goals.
The colony must also set up an organizational plan which includes a hazing-free
new member education program, a system
of paying dues, a system for recruiting and
electing new members, and a financial
accounting system.
They must also hold weekly chapter
meetings, and hold bi-weekly meetings
with administration and advisors.

According to the student handbook, an
interested colony must have 25 members at
the time of colonization and 30 members by
the time chapterization comes through.
Rather than meeting these numbers, Sigma
Pi was required to meet the male Greek
numbers.
Hagenbuch called the experience of
regaining the charter an "electric thrill." He
said that after all this time the colon/ finally decided to go for it.
Hagenbuch reminded the brotherhood
that they should never set their goals too
low, but they should also never set them too
high. He called the recharterization one of
his greatest achievements.

Crane's first experience serving time
was at the age of 18. His offense was
armed robbery. He was sentenced to four
years in the county jail and was released
after serving only 17 months.
Following his felease Crane committed
another robbery and was sentenced to
another year in prison. After completing
his second sentence. He was released. His
next arrest was bank robbery.
Upon release, he was influenced by his
fellow gang members. His next arrest was
for bank robbery. According to Crane, his
gang would go in to banks and take all of
the money that they wanted.
As they were committing the robberies,
they did not care who became involved or
got hurt. He emphasized, "It didn't matter
who got hurt, as long as it wasn't one of
us."
After robbing over 15 banks. Crane and
his brother, who was also a member of the
Crypts, were apprehended after their
license plate number was taken down by
someone who thought that the vehicle
appeared suspicious and reported it to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The gang members were in fact planning on robbing the bank that day, decided
not to, and robbed the bank the next day.
Crane was arrested as a suspect in. the
robbery. He was held for six months and
then released after no one identified him in
the line up.
Following his release, he teamed up
with three women and began to rob banks
with the three of them working as a team.
Together they committed 13 bank robberies. When finally caught. Crane was
sentenced to 25 years in prison. After serving a short period of his sentence in a
California prison, he was transferred to
Lewisburg State Penitentiary in 1984.
According to Crane, he encountered
people from all over the world while serving time in Lewisburg. Everyone, however

remained very segregated from one another.
er. "One person may be black and one person may be white and they may be friends.
But when you go into that environment you
put that friendship aside," said Crane.
While serving his various jail terms, he
never felt safe.
Following his speech. Crane answered
questions from students and faculty who
were present at the event. He openly shared
his emotions about his experiences as a
gang member and about his time in prison.

From cap and gown to finals
In eight days, less than two weeks,
December graduation will take place for all
of us who are finished our years here at the
Haven and ready to leave the campus and
face the real world that we have been hearing about and in some cases fearing since
early childhood.
I will be among those participating in
commencement next weekend
and I have various feelings
about the upcoming event. I
am excited, anxious to begin a
career, happy to have accomplished things during my college career, and appalled at
the fact that after I do participate in graduation I must
remain here to take final exams.
I have nothing against finals, for in
some cases they can make or break one's
grade in a class. I do however have some-

thing against taking final exams once graduation is over. Who on earth wants to be
tested for a grade in a class that they need to
graduate, after they already participated in
the graduation itself? Certainly not
L
I have heard other people grumble and complain about this and I
am sure that there are
also people who could
care less. I however do
care and this whole idea
of taking finals after
graduation upsets me.
My parents will be driving here
on graduation day to attend the
ceremony, a four-hour drive from
their home, only to turn around at the end of
the day for a four-hour drive back and then
do it all over again later that week to come
and get me after finals!

Whatever the reason being that Unals
follow graduation, maybe some arrangements could be made for graduating seniors
to take finals prior to graduation so that we
can graduate and then leave, not
graduate and then be tested in
the subjects we need to pass in
order to graduate anyway.
I think taking finals after
participating in a graduation
ceremony is absurd and this
schedule should be reevaluated.
The last thing I want to do after
sporting a cap and gown is
stress over flnals; they should be all over
with before donning a cap and gown in the
first place.
Heather Lee L/ingo
Eagle Eye Editor in Chief

It is celebrating "people time"
Those of you who read me regularly
may have noticed that I took a much needed break from the column to rest, rejuvenate and remedy my writer's block. Here I
am.
Finals time is here again and if getting
all of those papers in on time and bartering
with Higher powers ("If I pass this class,
next semester I will study five hours a day,
never cut, stay in on Friday nights to write
papers, etc.") is not stressful enough, we
have to get ready for the holidays.
it is time to get into a studying and
shopping frenzy. It is time for frantic energy to course as naturally through our veins
as the blood that belongs there, (natural
adrenaline induced by circumstantial pressure, of course).
Now, I am not about to go into a spiel
about too much to do for school in too little
time, the gross commercialization of this
holiday, or how we can all learn a lesson or
two from watching the "Charlie Brown
Christmas" special. But of course, I do
have something to say.
We may all be causing severe damage to
our scalps by pulling out hair as we prepare
for exams. We may all have a knot of stress
the size of a volleyball trapped in the back
of our necks. Some of us may even choose
not to rejoice in holy reasons for celebrating these holidays. But we are all capable
of being grateful for what we do have that
is good ~ especially the people we love,
around us. At the risk of sounding sappy, it
is a pity how quickly we do not take the
time to realize how lucky we are.
The reason? The holidays, when all the
crumpled paper has long since been discarded, the eggnog slurped, the last dreidel
spun, and the Yale log burned to ashes, are
still about one thing and one thing only:

Many activities keep Newman Center participants busy
by Jennifer Bowes
Eagle Eye Features Editor_
The Newman Community is an organization on campus in which students may get
involved to participate in activities, have
fun, and learn a little about themselves and
others.
A campus ministry program sponsored
by the Catholic church, students of any
denomination or faith are welcome at the
Newman Center, located on West Main
Street a few blocks from campus, according
to Theresa Miller, the Catholic campus minister.
"Anytime we get together, we have
fun," Miller said. The number of events
that students can take part in is numerous.
Each Wednesday evening, a dinner is
held at the Newman Center. According to
Miller, this may be the easiest way a student
interested in getting involved can begin to
participate. She said that new people attend
all the time, and they usually come down to
the Newman Center with other people.
Another weekly event on Thursday
evenings is a Faith Sharing Group, sponsored by the Catholic church.
Weekend service projects are a common
activity for those involved in the Newman
Center. Activities for the holidays will
include Christmas caroling downtown,
cookie baking, and helping out with one
church's holiday Hollymart. Games and
movies are social activities sometimes

planned on the weekends, and the Newman
Center is open on the weekends for students
to watch TV, play the piano, or catch up on
some studying.
As a service project in the spring, the
group often lends a hand at the Lenten Fish
Fry at the Immaculate Conception Church,
and a choir travels to the two Catholic
parishes in the city once a semester.
The group also participates in many
joint activities with the combined campus
ministry. According to Miller, this semester's activities included an indoor arts festival in September, volleyball, bowling and
skiing, clowning in the Homecoming
parade, and Faith Alive.
The Newman Community has been
involved in several retreats this semester,
including youth group retreats and retreats
meant to prepare students for Confirmation.
At these retreats. University students often
share the struggles they may have encountered while in high school and ideas about
their faith with the students, according to
Miller.
Other retreats include working with the
handicapped, homeless shelters, small children in the inner city and the elderly. A state
retreat held every fall helps to give students
an idea of what kinds of peace, mission, and
religious work exists after college, according to Miller.
The Newman Center will hold a "come
and get to know us" retreat shortly after the
spring semester begins.

Miller said that part of her vision with
the Newman Center is for participants to
become more comfortable with themselves
and with their faith. She also noted that discussions can lead to students having a better
awareness of different sides of an issue not
readily available in the press.
Speakers are frequently hosted by the
Newman Center. Talking about mission
work done in a nation, one speaker surprised
a group of students with frank photos.
Miller noted that seeing these photos for
them was different than seeing commericials on TV dealing with [lersons in under-

developed nations.
About 50 students are currently semi-tovery active in the group, according to
Miller. Other students attend the Catholic
Mass on Sundays. Campus ministry bulletins are located at the front desk of each
residence hall to make students aware of all
events for the week.
Other events that the Newman Center
has hosted during the fall semester include
Octoberfest ~ an event with fall activities
for children of faculty and staff — and an
open house for the faculty and staff.

Bentley Dining Hall. Candles will be lit at

This march should help bring more
awareness to the campus and to the Lock
Haven community. Candles will be provided; all that is needed to attend is a caring
heart. Support a friend you know who has
had a loved one die as a result of this unique
epidemic. In an issue in which there are so
many feelings connected, let's try to focus
on the one issue of love and compassion.

Feathersflyin New York fights

Bald Eagles strut their stuff...

by Chad Forry
Eagle Eye Sports Editor_
Eric Elmer, the University's 1996, 119Ib. National Collegiate Boxing Association
(NCBA) silver medalist, scored an impressive 3-0 decision over the University of
California-Berkley's Sanjay Shah last
Monday in the prestigious New York
Athletic Club Collegiate Invitational.
The boxing invitational was held in the
NYAC's main gym before a standing-roomonly crowd of over 700. The formal coat
and tie crowd paid $62 per ticket, which
included a recognition dinner, for the 11bout card held at the exclusive Manhattan
Athletic Club.
Elmer, a sophomore, used excellent coutner punching skills to outpoint Shah in an
exciting bout. Shah was last year's Far
Western Regional champion. This was
Elmer's second straight victory in the event.
However, two Bald Eagle boxers did suffer defeat. In the evening featured bout, the
Haven's Jason Pletcher, the reigning NCBA
165-pound champ was stopped in the third
round by three-time national 156-pound,
NCBA champ, U. S. Naval Academy's Todd
Alexander.
After a good first round by Pletcher, who
used an effective left and boxing from the
outside, Alexander caught the Bald Eagle
team captain against the ropes late in the
second round with a series of combinations
including powerful left hooks and right
crosses.
Referee Tony Wolfe stopped the bout at
0:28 of the third round, which met the
approval of head coach Dr. Ken Cox.
Pletcher was also stopped by Alexander last
February in the annual LHU Invitational.
Alexander is expected to move up to 165
pounds, while Pletcher is expected to drop to

r

BOXING

147 or 156 for the '97 regional and national tournaments.
Pletcher, whose career record is now 115 said that he would like to box Alexander
a third time, preferably again at Lock
Haven in February or at the PSU
Invitational. "You can only improve by
boxing the best," concluded Pletcher.
The Haven's third open division boxer,
junior Tony Penecale, 190, suffered a close
3-0 decision (59-58; 58-57; 58-57) to
Shippensburg's Phil Smalls. Although
Penecale knocked the veteran Red Raider
down with a solid left hook in the second
round and scored two standing eight-counts
in both the first and third rounds, the judges
felt Smalls effective left jabs were enough
for him to garner the narrow victory. The
shorter Penecale had defeated Smalls in a
split (2-1) decision last February in Lock
Haven.
In post-bout interviews, coaches Dr.
Ken Cox and Ken Cooper expressed satisfaction with the three Bald Eagles' performances in the Big Apple. "They gave 100
percent and that's all we can expect," stated
Cox.
The Saturday prior to Thanksgiving
vacation, a mix of six novice and open division Bald Eagle boxers journeyed to the
University of Buffalo to compete in their
Collegiate Invitational before a packed
crowd in Alumni Hall.
Outstanding freshman prospect, Dave
Fields, 125, won a unanimous 5-0 decision
over Buffalo's Idy Matoorah. Also teammate and freshman, Andy Smith, 147,
scored his first collegiate victory with a 5-0
decision over UB's David Billows.

W H E R E CHAMPIONSHIPS

LHU's two open division boxers lost
close bouts. Sophomore George Conklin,
190, lost a tough 3-2 split decision to UB's
Edwardo James in an action-packed contest, and Dwayne Hightower, 156, lost via
RSC-2 to UB's tough Pernell Wilson.
Two Haven sub-novice boxers, Greg
Baker, 139, and Chris Celia, heavyweight,
both suffered defeats also. Baker gave a
"gutsy" performance losing a 4-1 decision
to UB's Austin Primis in one of the night's
most exciting bouts.
Tomorrow 12 of the 21-member Bald
Eagle boxing club will travel to Mansfield
University to compete in the Second Annual
Mansfield Collegiate Invitational.
The Bald Eagles' Jason Pletcher, 156,
will box Mansfield's Mike Hensel in the
featured bout. The eight-bout preliminary
card, consisting of sub-novice and novice
bouts will begin at 2 p.m., with the 10-bout
main card (open division) commencing at
7:30 p.m.
The following day, Sunday, the
University's long-time coach. Dr. Cox, and
his family will travel to White Plains, N.Y.,
to accept the prestigious "Rocky Marciano
Award" from the American Association for
the Improvement of Boxing, Inc., (AAIB)
at the Boxerama XVI Champions Luncheon
at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Cox is being recognized for his untiring
efforts, leadership and dedication in promoting amateur boxing both in the USA and
abroad. "Dr. Cox is a nationally recognized role model for the entire boxing fraternity," announced Stephen Acunto, Jr.,
President of the AAIB.

Home is sweet in Mat Town Tourney
8 Eagle Eye Friday, December 6,1996

by Kevin Ransom
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Thirteen teams gathered at Thomas
Field House to enter the annual Mat Town
Tournament this past weekend.
Teams included Penn State, Rider
University, University of Pittsburgh, North
Carolina State University, University of
Oregon, Lehigh University, University of
Nebraska, Syracuse University, Army,
Columbia University, Old Dominion
University, Slippery Rock University, and
host Lock Haven University.
Four of the 13 teams were nationally
ranked: PSU, #5; Nebraska, #13; Pitt, #17;
and LHU, #8. Eighteen individual wrestlers
at the tournament have also received early
season recognition.
Lock Haven finished third overall, just a
half point in ffont of Pitt with 100.5 points.
Penn State, the favorite coming into the

tourney, ran away from the competition
with 170.5 points, followed by Rider, who
surprised everyone with 133 total points.
The coveted outstanding wrestler award
was presented to Penn State's heavyweight,
Kerry McCoy, who defeated the 1996
national champion.
Lock Haven placed eight of Its 20
wrestlers. Taking top honors were Mike
Rogers at 150 pounds and Mike Geurin at
177. "I am, of course, proud of the way
Rogers and Geurin wrestled. They are still
both yet to be beaten, and they are going to
be tough," commented Coach Poff. "I can't
say enough about Brent [Conley], the fourth
seed who made the finals. That was impressive; he is full of heart," added Poff.

Conley saw his first collegiate action
last week at the Cornell Duels, where he
went 3-0. Conley placed second at Mat
Town, losing in overtime in the finals to the
12th ranked wrestler in the nation.
Other place winners for the Bald Eagles
were team captain Brian Leitzel who placed
third, heavyweight Ricky Krieger who finished fifth, freshman Dave Emili who took
sixth place honors, Terry Showalter who
fmished seventh, and last year's champion
Neil Barnes who wrestled to an eighth place
finish.
Coach Poff had mixed feelings about the
tournament. "I don't put much weight into
this tournament. I use it more to break in
the younger wrestlers. I am overall pleased
with what I saw today. I figured we would
finish anywhere between second and fourth.
We got a lot of wrestling in today. The guys
now know what they have to work on and
hopefully we will get in the wrestling room
and improve in those areas."

All in all Lock Haven is far from a solid
team just yet. Right now they have some
injuries to heal up. Poff reported, "I am
glad if they are going to get hurt now,
because they have the next month to heal.
Really we came through this tournament
unhurt for the most part. Keebler is out, but
he was hurt beforehand, so other than some
sore bodies I am sure we are fine."
Coach Poff added about the future, "I
am not sure what my best line-up will be.
We are going to have to look at things and
see where we are most effective, but I am
happy we do have an extremely deeo team
this year."
The Bald Eagles will heal this week and
then Friday night take on Army at Pottsvilie
Martz Hall. This is slated for a 7:30 p.m.
start time. Then on Saturday, powerhouse
University of Iowa will take on the Bald
Eagles at the Hershey Park Arena. This is
set to start at 2 p.m

Lady Eagles test the waters
by Kelly O'Neill
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The University's women's swim team is
slowly but surely proving their talent here
to the students at the Haven and to the
schools that they are competing against.
The women's swim team has had a busy
couple of weeks with training and with the
beginning of their season. On Nov. 23, the
women's swim team lost to Slippery Rock
100 - 72. LHU swam well, and even though
they were defeated, all the swimmers made
important contributions.
Sophomore Yvonne Tyger did a great
job taking first place in the 200 backstroke
with a PSAC qualifying time of 2:20.23.
Also setting a new record was Amber
Schmeider, who swam 5:51.85 in the 500
freestroke.
Capturing first place finishes were also
were Stacey Lebo, Amber Schmeider,
Shannon Gross, and Katie Bonner in the 400
free-stroke relay with a time of 4:01.38.
On Nov. 25 the LHU swimmers were
once again defeated, this time by Lycoming
College by a score of 108 - 68.
"We put out a tremendous etfort, but we
were just outnumbered," stated head coach
Justice.
LHU did secure a few first place positions. In the 200 free-stroke relay Tyger,
Carolyn Labold, Bonner and Schmeider captured first place. In the 200 individual medley, Lebo took first with a time of 2:21.21.
Bonner claimed first place in both the 200
free with a time of 2:08.7 and the 100
breaststroke in 1:14.13.

SWIMMING
Last Tuesday the team captured their
first win at home beating Juniata College,
101 - 75.
"It's nice to finally break in the win column at home," remarked Justice.
Although most members of the team
were sick due to the flu, they worked together proving they were the stronger team.
"Being ill has affected us a great deal. The
swimmers were not able to train hard over
break. Even though they weren't in top
form they swam very well," stated Justice.
Missy Tandlmayer placed first in the 100
breaststroke with an amazing time of
1:14.72. Also making an important contribution was Lebo, a freshman who placed
first in the butterfly relay with a time of
1:10.5. Lebo along with teammates Tyger,
Tandlmayer and Labold, placed first in the
200 medley relay with a time of 2:07.50.
"Stacey Lebo contributed a great deal. She
is a very versatile swimmer, all four of her
strokes are strong. She's doing a great job,"
commented Justice. Other swimmers capturing first place were Bonner (1000 free
stroke), Schmeider (200 free style) and
Labold (50 free stroke).
The Haven swimmers will travel to
Binghamton N.Y. to swim against S.U.N.Y
at a Holiday Invitational meet this weekend.
"We won't be in top form like we are capable of, due to illness affecting the team, but
we will swim our best and we will do well,"
said Justice.

In their sixth year of existence, the Lady Eagle volleyball team earned
the PSAC title after defeating their rivals, the Edinboro University
Lady Scots, 3-2 (15-10,15-12,14-16, 8-15,19-17), on Nov. 16. From left
to right, team members include (back row) assitant coach Angle Shue,
Annie Williams, Kelli Kowalski, Amber Zaritsky, head coach Tom
Justice, Jaime Entenmann, Megan Best, Jared Christian, Fran
Demorest, (middle row) Damee Dickey, Marie Neidrick, (front row)
Fadime Verhoeven, Becky Helmers, Becky Peters, Tara Newcomer,
and Sarah Curtis. The Lady Eagles advanced to the NCAA Atlantic
Regionals where they faced Edinboro once again. However, this time
Edinboro outlasted the Haven team and won 2-2. Freshman Curtis
was named PSAC Rookie of the Year. Curtis was joined by Newcomer
and Verhoeven as first team All-PSAC selections. Coach Justice was
named PSAC-West Coach of the Year by his peers.
