Speaker addresses campus on the devastating effects of sexual assault
Megan Neville
The Eagle Eye
More than ISO percent of women college students have
experienced sexual aggression from an acquaintance in
forms of threats, coercion or violence; an alarming fact

for many students to grasp.
Andrea Cooper, a Delta Delta Delta sister, visited the
University's campus Wednesday to broaden students'
awareness through a story about sexual aggression that
she holds very dear to her heart.
Cooper spoke on behalf of her daughter, Kristen. who
was an Alpha Chi Omega sister at Baker University in
Kansas. According to Cooper, Kristen was a very energetic person and very full of life. She joined her sorority and was a good student while in attendance at Baker.
Then, in 1995. Kristen changed. Unbeknownst to her
parents. Kristen had been date raped in August of 1995.
right before she returned to school.
Kristen was very good at hiding the fact that she had
been raped around her parents, but her friends and sisters
told a different story.
After the rape. Kristen went into a deep depression.
Her grades fell extremely low and she found herself crying most of the day. She slept-in many times, missing

her classes and ignoring her friends' requests for her to
seek counseling. On New Year's Eve of 1995. Kristen's
parents came home from a party to find that their daughter had shot herself. She also left a journal of poems,
thoughts and a suicide note beside her. Kristen was only 20 years old.
Cooper explained that she and her husband thought
that Kristen had shot herself because she and her
boyfriend of a year had recently broken up. That wasn't
the case at all.
Through conversations with her sisters and friends, it
was revealed to Cooper and her husband that their
daughter had been date raped by a male friend ofKristen's that previous summer. Cooper also said that it was
soon after, that the police returned Kristen's journal to
them where they soon learned of her inner turmoil. Kristen was physically and mentally depressed after her attack and had carried with her a tremendous amount of
guilt.
Cooper then went into the facts of rape, where stu-

As far as requests go. Haven Activities Council (HAC) member
Patrick Bishop had one of his own,
asking the Senate to fund the organization $15,000 to hold a "big concert
iui the college."
Because of this request, a concert
featuring a well-known artist now
has a very real possibility of occurring on campus this semester since
the SCC passed the proposed grant
of fees.
As for who will be the star of the
show, a decision has yet to be
reached. According to Bishop, it is
"not a name that we're looking for."
Other topics on the agenda included announcements for the Valen-

well as the upcoming Club Fair that

individuals. Koch addressed the Senate to discuss the many rumors that have been

LHU, PSU link-to-learn
HARRISBURG - Lock Haven University and Penn
State University have been awarded Link-to-Learn

These two grants were part of a $5.4 million in state
Link-to-Learn grants awarded to 20 Pennsylvania higher education institutions and their education partners and
are part of the "Integrating Technology into Teacher

Lock Haven University was awarded $226,342 to

dents and faculty learned that one in four women will be
raped during their lives and that over 25 percent of college women are raped every year. Yet, a surprising fact
is that 90 percent of rapes are never reported to the po-

lions being conducted by the University's Law Enforcement."
Koch's reason for broaching the
subject was to extinguish the many
rumors (concerning sexual assault)
that have been circling throughout
campus. She attempted to prove her
point on the dangers of rumors and
their inaccuracy by conducting an
activity with council members that
involved her whispering a message
in one person's car and sending the
message around the room. The intended message involved the term
"rape" and clearly had become distorted from the original message given by the time the last person was
whispered the statement, just as
Koch had predicted.
In addition. Koch stated that the
recent increase in the need to escort
students in the residence halls "has
nothing to do with what has happened over the past two weekends."
She stressed that the University is
still a "safe place," informing students that "if there is potential harm
to anyone, by law I must inform the
of that harm."

help prepare tomorrow's teachers to use technology
tools in support of new academic standards for reading,
writing and mathematics," Corman said.
"These grants emphasize teaching with technology
rather than teaching about technology. Further, I am
most proud that Central Pennsylvania schools continue
to take the lead in implementing new technologies and
preparing both teachers and students for the 21st century."
The grant process was extremely competitive, according to Corman, with more than 46 applications received requesting a total of just under $13 million. The
20 applications approved for funding will serve 4,000
student teachers and 2,400 Pennsylvania K-I2 teachers
and students.
In addition, 400 higher education faculty will be involved in the projects.

Andrea Cooper shared a little of her soul with University students Wednesday
evening as she recounted the story of her daughter's inner struggle with sexual assault.
Cooper's daughter, who took her own life several months after being raped, is the inspiration that drives her to travel the lecturer circuit.

Lecturer Series to resume
Sarah Beaumont
The Eagle Eye
Lock Haven University's International Visiting Lecture Series will introduce the first lecture of the spring
1999 semester on Tuesday, Feb. 9,
beginning with the fourth lecturer in
the series.
This semester's first lecturer, Professor Christopher Cunningham,
travels from the University of New
England, Armidale, NSW, Australia
where he is a professor in the Department of Geography and Planning.
Cunningham is also senior lecturer and sub-dean of Urban and Regional Planning at the university and
has published five books, one for
which he was awarded the 1997 New
South Wales Premier's Prize for Regional History.
The theme for this year's lecture
series is "Perspectives on Ethnic Nationalism and Regional Consciousness as We Approach the 21 st Century" and Cunningham's presentation
is aimed at showing a new perspective of Australian exploration myths
through his discussion topic entitled,
"Discovery or Diffusion: Heroes or
Human?"
Cunningham was chosen as one
of this year's lecturers because of his
topic of discussion, as well as his
academic and professional back-

al opportunities for the students as
well. The opening sentence of the
statement now reads: "Lock Haven
University of Pennsylvania, a rural
public institution with an international dimension, serves the eommunity through excellence in the arts,
sciences, professional discipline, education, and human services at an atfordable cost."
"Lock Haven has a mission that
was given to us 25 years ago," said
Brostuen, "and we take it seriously.

The University provides opportunities to study ahroad while also providing international awareness right
here on campus.''
Brostucn explained. "The stu
dents need to be aware of the opportunities available to them."
The turnout for last semester's
lectures was described as ■ excellent"'

According to Kendall Brostuen.
director of the Institute of International Studies, decisions are made
based on the kind of interest the topic will generate and the questions
about identity it poses. Cunningham
will also be the only lecturer visiting
the University from Australia.
The University has a mission to

teaching and learning at an affordable cost in the arts, health, sciences,

Another possible requirement, according to Gray, is intended to develop in formation literacy by instructing students on how to utilize Internet searches and alternative technology sources. A multicultural component of the project would require students to experience diversity through
educational courses or study abroad
programs.
The proposition to improve the
general education program also incorporates a collaboration between
the University and outside training
and observation. Students would be
obligated to obtain a portion of their
education through programs such as
internships and student teaching.
"The purpose of this requirement
is to link each student's educational
experience with real life and provide
a more complete education," he said.
Although Gray prefers the classroom environment to administrative,
the new position will give him the
opportunity to impact students in a
more comprehensive dimension.

He will be doing just that as he reaches out to students in the fields of education and health sciences.
For someone whose expertise seems to lie directly in
the path of special education, the focus on health and
science fields may prove to be a step in a different direction. Phillips, however, believes that because of his
experience in special education, he is better prepared for

the job.
The field of Health Science, according to Phillips, is
closely related to special education. "I have (also)
worked closely with physicians and nurses to provide
services for people with disabilities who were living in
residential facilities."
He has also worked diligently in the past on projects
that included creating university/public school collaborations and fund raising. Currently, Phillips is in Hawaii
working to provide an after-school program to help illiterate children at Hauula Elementary.
Phillips said that he is anxious to join the staff in the
"hills of Lock Haven" even though he will be leaving
sunny Hawaii behind.
His intended goals as he steps onto the University's
campus is to "build a strong team spirit so we can become involved in a noble cause, make excellent decisions based on solid principles and continue to feel great
about our contribution to society."
Phillips' first contribution to the University, he said,
is simply joining a staff who he commended, "is an outstanding faculty who is focused on providing the best
quality education at a reasonable cost of living."

State System adopts academic passport

Cooperation between community colleges and System schools to be increased

HARRISBURG - The State System of
Higher Education, after a year of testing and
study, has formally adopted a revised version
of the Academic Passport, designed to make
it easier for students to transfer from community colleges to State System universities
or to move from one System university to another.
An Academic Passport, which will assure
the holder entry into a State System university, will be awarded to students who have
earned either an associate of arts or associate
of science degree from a community college
in Pennsylvania or who have earned at least
12 credits at another System school.
In order to be eligible for a passport, a student must have a grade point average of at
least 2.0. Community college students must
have earned at least 30 of their credits in liberal arts courses.
Revisions to the initial passport policy also will make it easier for students who have

William E. Fulmer, president of the Asso-

"The State System has been doing a good

Fulmer said.

dardized tests that evolved in order
to compensate for the ever-changing
times, Roxanne Greye, a community
outreach coordinator at The Princeton Review in Philadelphia, said.
"The rate of returns are faster on
the computer and people can take it
six days a week, 12 months a year,"
Greye said.
Greye said there were advantages
to this high-tech trend. All of the
standardized tests are going computerized and with e-mail you can now

less paper and the exams are much
more broad."
Test preparation services such as
the Princeton Review and Kaplan
Testing said they are attempting to
change their teaching strategies to
accommodate students to the new

fenses.
"If [the lines are] stupid, they're ridiculous," said Columbia University
junior Jessica Ullian. "But if they are creative, you at least get some points
for trying."
Boston College junior Mary Alex Dundics says pick-up lines can break
the ice if the person who delivers the line is otherwise attractive. "I'll usually accept a drink from a guy if he offers me one," Dundics said. "And if a
guy is cute then, sure, a pick-up line can work."
But the line has to be right.
While a simple "hello" can work wonders, some lines are alienatingly absurd. Boston College senior Amy Larson shared two of the worst she has
heard: "Is there a mirror in your pocket? Because I can see myself in your
pants..." and "You must be tired since you've been running through my mind
all day."
Larson says few pick-up lines work. But she concedes saying something
anything at all - slightly raises the odds that two people will connect. "If
you have nothing better to say, you might as well try to use one," she said.
Both Larson and Dundics report that in Boston, a city known for its massive student population, the most common pick-up line genre is the age-old,
"You look familiar. Have we met somewhere before? Do you go to [insert
local college here]?"
Columbia junior Danielle Honzig says lines in the city that never sleeps
can get rather raunchy. She says a guy in Manhattan once approached her
and said, "You look like a piece of filet mignon. Do you know how much
that costs?"
Northwestern students just outside Chicago report they'd believe almost
anything when it comes to bad pick-up lines. Thirty students surveyed say
they've heard everything from the relatively tame, "So where have you been
all my life?" and "Did your father steal the stars from the skies and put them
in your eyes?" to the bawdy "I love your outfit. It would look great on the
floor of my bedroom," and "If your right leg is Christmas and your left leg
is Easter, what do you say I come up for the holidays?"
Northwestern senior Seth Macari says he thinks students who try to lure
their bait with pick-up lines probably lack self-confidence. "People use pickup lines because they are afraid of honesty and of being themselves," he
said.
Northwestern sophomore Heather McElroy says she's wary of men who
approach her armed with lines. "I wouldn't go out with a guy who used a
pick-up line on me because I think the very fact that he is using a pick-up
line implies something about his character," she said. "It tells me he is desperate and that all he probably cares about is sex."
Matt Masur, a graduate student at Ohio State University, agreed with
McElroy. "People use pick-up lines because they are drunk and want to get
some action," he said.
University of Michigan sophomore Garth Heutel said sincerity is the key
to pick-up success. "Pick-up lines are often not original and sound stupid,"
he said, but an honest compliment can work like magic.
In densely populated cities, some students say pick-up lines are a necessary evil when trying to meet new people. Noah Weiss, a first-year law student at Columbia said: "When you first meet a person there is really nothing
else to go on besides how they look."

Does it work? Depends. Pick-up lines are a staple of college courtship,
both as tongue-in-cheek humor and as hat-in-hand heartfelt sentiment (albeit
often momentary). "Lines" are ubiquitous on campuses across the country,
even if they serve only to lighten a mood and charm through a target's de-

Medical advances no excuse for ignorance
Elizabeth Vanden Boom
The State News
How many times do you have to
tell someone something before they
will actually listen? Apparently, in
the case of AIDS, the number of
times is nearing an infinity.
With all of the AIDS education
the public has been exposed to during the past 10 years, you'd think the
idea of having unprotected sex
wouldn't even be a possibility anymore. Unfortunately, the Associated
Press reports that sexually transmitted diseases are up among some
groups.
Apparently, risky behavior is on
the rise because people are content
with new drugs that are allowing
HIV-positive patients to live longer,
and relatively healthy at that.
i Of course, medical advances are
great, but there's still no cure. Just
because these drugs are allowing
people who are HIV-positive to live

longer doesn't mean the disease
won't be destructive.
Blatantly taking such a risk isn't
only stupid — it's disrespectful. Disrespectful to all those who have already succumbed to the disease,
who, through their suffering, have
taught us to take every precaution
possible to avoid this tragedy.
It's also disrespectful to all the
medical researchers who have
worked so hard to develop these
drugs, so people with the virus might
still have a chance at life. The last
thing medical researchers need is to
have people start taking these drugs
for granted.
If more people become infected
with the virus, who's to say if medical researchers will be able to keep
up? Researchers will always try to
keep advancing, but added pressure
of more people becoming infected
with the virus is cause for a breakdown.

It's sad that after reaching a stable point, people quickly forget they

Sloan features first artist of semester

February 5, 1999

Greek Corner

Patricia Brown presents her artwork to LHU
Prior to that point in her life Brown went
through her own interstate of mind and expressed
it through a series of self portraits; one entitled
"Self Portrait in Front of a Window" took nearly
four years to develop. Brown said that she never
wants to work on one piece for that long again
because the process of making the portrait meet
her own vision of perfection was excruciating.
She stated that "self portrait is self confrontation" and found herself using the mirror to get in

Tabitha Goodling
The Eagle Eye
Patricia Brown, an artist, who through drawmade an effort to prove that working is an art
in belief and her job is to find it and release it,
was the first artist to open at the Sloan Fine Arts
Gallery for the spring semester.
Brown, who holds a liberal arts degree, began
as a painter early in her career but found encouragement from drawing teachers who allowed her
to discover she w as "a painter in regards to line."
It was a struggle for Brown to focus on the use of
paints or oils and she says that. "1 could never resist a number two pencil."
The artist presented a slide show of 29 of her
previous works from 1U S(> to the present. The
slides on the screen, however, merely represent
what is currently featured on display in Sloan's
gallery. Her earlier art "informed" the development of what was viewed by onlookers in the
ing,

gallery.

Much of Brown's art arc portraits of fellow
artists who offered themselves as models during
her early years drawing in a small studio. She describes her "artistic social life" as thriving during
that time period. She and the other starving
artists that she associated with would buy the art
ol one another if any one needed money.
It wasn't until 1985 that Brown said she discovered what drawing was. She made a series of
portraits which she entitled "Interstates." These
art forms, she says, were meant to show "the
characteristics of individual interstates" in regards to one's personality by portraying the image of the bodv.

touch with herself visually.
By the 1990s, Brown had moved briefly to
Plains, Pennsylvania, an Irish town where she
says she finally saw the "round faces" of those
like herself. By taking this perception she developed one of her more colorful sketches entitled
"My Irish Face." This work uses contrasting
bright colors to represent flesh. The reflection of
the green lawn off of her chin helped stress a major characteristic of this painting, perception.
"Perception." the Baltimore artist commented,
"is the route of all experiences in life." The background to this painting is textured and made up
of many shades of gray.
Literature served as a great inspiration to
Brown's art. A few of the works presented during
the slide show were inspired by books.
Because portraits served such an importance
to her, Brown often found herself creating portraits of her most loved artists, the idols of her
field whom she never met. This honor of her
"My Irish Face," a colorful self-portrait mentors was made apparent when Brown ansketch by artist Patricia Brown, can be seen nounced at the end of the presentation that her

eDear

Dr. RuseI was just wondering why guys urinate on toilet seats and why they insist on leaving the seat up so that
when we use the bathroom, we almost fall in.
Wet on West Church St.

—

\ DearWet-

There are many reasons that this occurrence has been argued for decades. Some men think that
women are whining too much when they talk about lifting the seat.
Anyone will tell you that men are lazy. I know it's hard for a woman to understand why men can remember the winner ofSuper Bowl IX, but alwavs forget to lift the seat. (By the way, Pittsburgh won Super Bowl

IflJ an,

IX).

Regardless of what men say, the biggest reasons are laziness and the "final drip" rule.
There is a little saying thatj use to describe the last few seconds of urination: "You can shut it in a door or
you can bang it off a wall, but you'll never get those last two drips to fall." Simply put, accuracy is thrown
out the window in the final few seconds, so that is usually what you are sitting in.
One must also realize that early in the morning, when a man goes to the bathroom, he is usually still half
asleep, which is what many spousal arguments stem from.
Last but not least, men have a strange subconscious infatuation with being able to pee standing up. We do
the accuracy thing, the far-away pee, and the ever popular write-you-name-in-the-snow pee. Sometimes your
wet behind is the exclamation point in our urine sentence.
As for putting the seat down then we are finished, we claim that the females never put the seat up, which
would only give us one less thing to remember, but would also show us that women "practice what they

preach."

A Dear Mad,
I've also made this observation after seeing previews for movies and particularly after seeing "Meet
Joe Black," which is the same movie you may be complaining about.
Don't blame Hollywood for this predicament because they make movies that people want to see. With that
in mind, let's look at what women fantasize about.
Studies have shown that women are more attracted to a man's personality and men are first attracted to a
woman's physical attributes. Romance novels are not written for men to read and pornos aren't targeted for

Furthermore, when a film is written that appeals to womens' romantic fantasies, Hollywood puts an actor
in it that may not be that talented but is very desirable to look at.
When the characters say all the right things and show a genuine romantic interest, women melt and add a
face to their fantasy or a personality lo their male sex symbol. Brad Pitt could be a person that degrades
women and farts at the dinner table but the roles he chooses creates fantasies for women that we can't match.
Look at men's fantasies. Do you know anyone who wants to sit and talk to Pamela Anderson for hours on
end? Hell no! Men want to be tied up, spanked and to have sex in weird places. That's why women can fulfill
our fantasies so easily; because we are so primitive.
What sucks for us is that women have such a strong image in their minds that men have no clue how to
get close to making their women feel special. It's the fault of both parties; women expect too much and men
give up too easily.
My advice is to look in the mirror, repeat to yourself, "F*#@ the skull of Brad Pitt" five times and try like
hell to be a little more romantic.

IVIarij uana: Has it fooled
America's younger generation?
Tanya Brown
Bryan Russo
The Eagle Eyt

"Eighty-six percent of Lock Haven University students said that they have used or
regularly use marijuana, as opposed to only 14 percent who have never tried it."

The popular anti-drug commercial "This is your
brain. This is your brain on drugs" has broadcast many
times since Ronald Reagan declared an all out "war"
on drugs in the early '80s. Over 15 years later, drugs
still remain a problem in the United States. No matter
how many times commercials like the sizzling eggs
symbolizing your brain on drugs is shown, the message obviously isn't getting through.
Marijuana is the third most popular drug in the
world today only behind nicotine and alcohol, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Both can
be bought on almost every corner of every street in
America. In a random survey that questioned 110
Lock Haven University students, over 92 percent of
students, regardless of whether or not they used the
drug, said that it was quite easy to get marijuana.
Not only can students get the drug, an increasing
number of people are using it on a regular basis.
Eighty-six percent of students surveyed said that they
have used or regularly use marijuana, as opposed to
only 14 percent who say they have never tried the
drug.
What is even more alarming is finding that people
are starting to use the drug at a very early age. Of the
people surveyed, over half started using marijuana between the ages of 16-19. One university student started smoking pot at the age of nine, and the numbers of
people that started at ages 12-15 far outnumber the
people that started over the age of 20. Obviously,
drugs are becoming a large problem amongst the youth
of America, but what can we do to stop it?
University psychology professor Dr. John Brendel
feels that one of the reasons that kids are using marijuana is not so much for the effects of the drug, but
what it stands for. According to Brendel, "The problem
is what marijuana symbolizes. It symbolizes rebellion,
anarchy and not participating in what society says is

the norm."
Is marijuana addictive? That question is debated by
proponents and opponents of the drug almost as much
as the argument to legalize marijuana. Although nothing has been proven, the National Institute on Drug
Abuse says that it is addictive. The institute said that

over 100,000people are treated for marijuana use each
year. They say that what the drug does when it is
smoked continually is make the user gain a tolerance
for the drug so more must be smoked every time to get
the same feeling.
Dr. Brendel says that the usage of marijuana affects
the brain's short-term memory as well as the spleen,
fat cells and the reproductive organs. Chronic usage of
the drug can do the same harm as the chronic smoking
of cigarettes. It can cause heart, lung and respiratory

problems. According to Brendel, "Even though nicotine is more toxic than THC (the active chemical in
marijuana), you'll die quicker if you smoke marijuana
than cigarettes." In simpler terms, smoking a pack of
joints a day will kill you quicker than smoking a pack
of cigarettes a day.
Nevertheless, young people don't seem to care
about the effects on the body or the brain, and Brendel
and the National Institute on Drug Abuse agree that
many young people choose what arguments about the
drug that they want to hear. Brendel says that, "Kids
don't want to hear that pot is bad for them. Instead,
they cling to the opinions that pot is natural and it is
used for medicine." If that logic is true, the youth of
America is being naive, and they could be harming
themselves permanently.

Law Enforcement officials look for certain things
when they go to a scene that has potential marijuana
offenders. The look for bloodshot eyes and a strong
smell of marijuana. If charges are filed. Law Enforcement does what the state requires and then refers the
offender to student life who then handles the case according to University regulations.
Marijuana is so glamorized in our society that its
image appears on much of the merchandise that we
buy everyday. It is not uncommon to see kids with pot
leaves on their shirt or hat; and some of the music listened to condones the use of marijuana. Another
alarming argument is that marijuana is a "gateway
drug" that leads to heavier usage.
In the survey, 52 percent of those surveyed said that
marijuana doesn't lead to heavier usage, but over 60
percent said that they knew someone who had used
heavier drugs because of marijuana. Students seem to
contradict themselves in those two questions almost by
saying, "It wouldn't happen to me, but it could happen

Brendel disagrees. He says that he doesn't helieve
in the so-called "domino effect," but he claims that
heavier drug use is linked to a deep psychological need
and problem in the person.
Brendel also said that it is human nature to want to
alter one's state of mind. He pointed out that almost
every weekend people get drunk to alter their state of
mind. He said that drug use is the same thing.
His solution is to create a substance that doesn't

As for tactics Law Enforcement uses concerning

Of the people who use, over half of those surveyed
have gone to a class or taken a test under the influence
of marijuana, and over 3/4 of the people say that they
would be more likely to drive a car under the influence
of marijuana than alcohol.
Those numbers indicate that we are losing the war
on drugs in a big way. Pounds of pot were claimed to
have been bought in the survey, however the most popular response was the purchase of 'dime bags,' which
costs only $10.
So what are the authorities doing about this problem? Richard Hepner, director of Law Enforcement at
Lock Haven University, was "astonished" at the findings of the survey. He said that before those numbers

Passions can not be avoided or
denied and senior Natalie Clark
learned the power of passion. Her
passion is in the arts. As a freshman
Natalie chose the major of Elementary Education with a minor in Studio Art and Art History. After four
and a half years of struggling in a
major that she personally did not
enjoy, she decided to switch.
With the guidance and encouragement from Art Professor Vance McCoy, Natalie made the decision to
alter her future plans and to include
something that she was able to express herself with; art. Natalie
plans to continue her growth in the
art field after walking through Senior Commencement next December by attending graduate school.
"I was in the wrong major," Natalie said while explaining her decision to change majors. Even Vance.
Natalie's mentor, said that she
seems much happier as a full time

Changing her major only one seago may seem hard, but Natalie had no problem. She started
off her first semester in her new
rn ajor in an advanced class called
Special Probl ems in Pottery, a 400
level class, and plans on graduating
in December of 1999. While many
Lock Haven students can be found
in the computer labs during study
time, Natalie can be found in the
an studio working on one of her
many projects.
Natalie has already created approximately 100 pots, 60 of which
where born last semester. All of
these pots have Natalie's distinct
look lo them. They are brushed
with earthy colors that are her own.
The gifted artist is also observed to
be beyond her time. Vance said
that Natalie's touch is acquired by a
potter after years of experience,
She has an intuitive sense of the
material that she uses and is able to
create her art work through her finger tips, not her eyes.
mester

Vance also said that while working with Natalie he has noticed her
high standard and said that she
won't compromise. She has the eapability to transfer the objects that
she has in her mind into creations

that are made out of clay. Vance
said "She has destroyed work because it wasn't what she intended."
Although pottery is Natalie's

strong point, it is not her only artistic talent. The senior has partaken
in many classes that the art department has offered and seemed to
show only promise. Natalie has the
ability to transfer her talent from
three-dimensional to two-dimensional work with ease. She has an
eye for all types of art work: abstract, sculptures, pottery and even

painting.
Her promise as an artist is excellcnt and her focus and her love is
displayed in all of her works. Natalie will be one of the seniors leaHires in the Student Show in May.

the week continues, so
don't take no for an

the first answer you get. There's
still a lot of controversy going on,
but you should be able to find a
way through it. Somebody you
love, or a small child, possibly
the same person, will lead you.
This could be a person who acts
like a small child from time to
time, especially in private, in
your presence. That's one of the
things that's so endearing about
this relationship. Besides that, it
looks like you're scheduled to get
a lucky break later on. An older
person, most likely someone you
admire — although he or she is a
little strange — could come
through for you unexpectedly. Be
extra nice to a person like that.

caught two barracuda on account of
this unintentional chumming. I
scaled our dinner and then cut the
tender meat into large fillets. Wrapping the fillets in tin foil with a piece
of butter and some chopped onions to
accompany them makes quite the
gourmet recipe. I tossed the foil
