Programs slatedhelp to bring awareness

The Eagle Eye

Hilton Safe House is announcing a number ol programs to help heighten awareness about sexual assault
and crime victims.
With the month of April designated as Sexual Assault
Awareness Month, Lock Haven's Hilton Safe House is
commencing its month-long efforts to raise awareness
by sponsoring the Ninth Annual "Take Back the Night"
march and rally on April 29.
The march will begin at two locations, the Clinton
County Courthouse and the WBPZ radio station, at 6:30
p.m. Participants will march to Thomas Field House for
the rally at 7 p.m.
During the march and rally, sexual assault victims
will exhibit their stories and pain through artwork, tshirts and posters made by the survivors.
At the rally, survivors will also share poetry, songs
and stories of their trauma.
When survivors share their pain, it is not only a release for the victims, according to Sharee Rodke, community educator for the Hilton Safe House. Instead, "It
gives a face to the pain," she said.
Also scheduled for the rally, Kim Sousa, an emergency room counselor for rape victims, will speak. Rodke said. A performance by singer Annette Furl, who
wrote and recorded the song, "Take Back the Night,"
will follow.

.

"It's one of those three boxes of Kleenex nights,"
Rodke said.
Thc event is open to everyone, whether to share stories or to show support against sexual violence.
pCOple can also show their support for Sexual Assault
Awareness Month by wearing a raspberry ribbon which
lncy can pj up at t he Hilton Safe House.

He discussed the many different

of Europe has, without losing their

When commenting on whether
the younger generation speaks English or Spanish primarily, he responded that they still speak Spanish
primarily, but that English has
emerged as the second language
taught in Spanish schools. He said
that they don't want to become

problem. He said, "They spend

Orr said this because parents of a

At approximately 12:30 p.m.

major and is not simply a good deed in order for them to
get credit, she stated.
Community service is funded currently on behalf of a
grant. If this program is implemented it could cost the
University as much as the cost to employ an appropriate
staff to oversee the program. The school can try to go

through Ameri Corps to aid in the cost of establishment
of these programs.
Currently up to a hundred University students volunteer in areas like the Sunbeam group, the Salvation
Army, the Women's Center, tutoring at area high

Even after college, certain careers prove more injurious than others. According to Dr. Wright, professionals
such as lawyers and accountants who rely on computers
wiH continue to become more myopic long after they
earn their degrees. Perhaps because the average U.S. citizen is more educated today than a generation ago, trends
show the incidence of myopia has dramatically increased. Yet despite such alarming statistics, experts
battle with the classic "nature vs. nurture" debate and
cannot confidently identify the cause.
"Nearsightedness may simply be a product of living
in an industrial society," said John Shoemaker, assistant
vice president at Prevent Blindness America. Researchers find few nearsighted individuals in traditionally organized Eskimo or Native American populations.
Nevertheless, when a society starts to westernize, visual
impairment often becomes more prevalent within the society. The number of Japanese myopia patients nearly
tripled over a 24-ycar period of industrialization.

Surprisingly, heredity isn't responsible for his foureyed curse. No, Lionel's myopia - nearsightedness is
entirely self-imposed, resulting from long hours spent
poring over the books and his PC. Sound familiar? Your

What Can We Do?

Eyestrain, fatigue, and irritation do not merely suggest a temporary problem. They are indications that
your habits may result in long-term damage. Blurry vision occurs when the muscles cannot relax as a result of
reading for prolonged periods of time. This is thc eyes

Rearrange your computer monitor by following the
advice of thc American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Thc organization suggests positioning the monitor 18-26
inches away from your eyes at eye level or slightly below. Also, limit reflection by keeping the surrounding

Minnesota Daily
(U-WIRE)- Would you rather
have a planet or a galaxy named after
you? Last week astronomers announced the discovery of a new
galaxy and three new planets, all of
which will need names.
The newly discovered planets orbit the star Upsilon Andromedae, a
star similar to our sun and merely 44
light years away, according to two independent research teams, one from
San Francisco State University and
the other from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in
Cambridge, Mass. This is the first
time multiple planets have been detected around a star other than our
sun, indicating full-blown solar systems may be common and our own is
not a fluke of nature.
Thc three new planets raise the
tally to 18 extra-solar planets detected since 1995 when the first was discovered orbiting 51 Pcgasi. Thus far,
all of thc extra-solar planets have
been gas giants, much like Jupiter,
but while Upsilon Andromedae is
visible to the naked eye in the northern sky from June to February, its
planets cannot be seen, even using
our most powerful telescopes. Scientists inferred their existence by ob-

serving perturbations in the moveof the star. The gravitational influence of large planets creates a
slight wobble in thc star which we
ment

can observe.

glomerations of matter that arose

from the primordial soup of the early
universe.
With an estimated 200 billion
stars similar to our sun in thc Milky
Way galaxy alone, and 80 billion or
so galaxies beyond, we will likely
find a lot more planets. The real trick
will not be locating them, but coming
up with names for all of them. The
International Astronomical Union is
responsible for such things. They assign appropriate letters and numbers
to all celestial bodies. These names,
however, exhibit little imagination.
Galaxies have names like NGC2683.
representing their positions in the
New General Catalog, and stars are
called names like BD +36° 2147. In
order to spice up the sky, the astronomical union allows the person who
discovers an object to propose a
name. Take minor planets in our solar system, for example. Thc IAU's
Small Bodies Names Committee
oversees the assigning of names to
the 10,448 minor bodies, largely between Mars and Jupiter, and has set

be detected with our current
technology because their gravitational influence on a star is negligible. It
is unlikely that the Upsilon Andromedae system has any Earth-like planets because of thc proximity of the
three gas giants to the star. However,

That's right, the United States

has threatened to lock horns with the
European Union unless it ends its
decade-long ban on the importation
of U.S. beef treated with Bovine

threat to be taken lightly.
Last month, the United States

American bananas. But the lobbying
power of the American rancher is
much stronger than that of poor Miss

Amer.can beef industry that alleges

$500 million in annual losses and the
chemical cronies at Monsanto (the
manufacturer of BGH), the U.S. has

Fascinating fact: thc FU's ban on
the use of recombinant Bovine
Growth Hormone is up for review
this year.
The question one immediately
raises, is how could the FDA, a consumer watchdog, okay BGH in the
first place? Simple. Many of the officials that approved its use were former Monsanto lobbyists and executives. Furthermore, the FDA has
ruled that tainted milk need not be labeled, meaning that consumers can't
avoid Monsanto's BGH in their milk.
That regulation was signed by a former Monsanto official. ("Breast cancer, rBGH and milk," Rachel's Environment Weekly, Issue 598).
If BGH was truly a wonder-drug,
one would expect Monsanto to be
promoting stories about it. not suppressing them. But if Monsanto insists on thinking of BGH in terms of
the '60s motto: "better living through
chemistry," perhaps it should be laid
to rest right next to thc decade's other wonder-drugs. Agent Orange,

came up with the idea for students to

Chick returns to the Magrath
home with Babe, played by Christine
Marshall, who readily admits to
shooting her husband and claims she
simply "didn't like his looks." In her
naive innocence Babe cuts out the

announcing her criminal deed and

proceeds to discuss trivial topics
such as Lenny's love life.
It is difficult to determine
whether Babe is truly unaware of the
severity of her behavior or simply
avoiding the issue, and several references ate made to her psychological
stability. She is visibly upset when
the young lawyer Barnette Lloyd,

Meg, although rebellious, appears to be the more intelligent of the
Magrath sisters and inquires as to
Barnette's experience as a lawyer.
With a manor resembling the stuttering ramblings of Barney Fife from
"The Andy Griffith Show," Barnette
explains his personal vendetta with
Babe's husband and cites his fond-

Barnette also reveals his suspicions
that Babe has been brutalized by her
husband justifying her actions.
Babe later admits to Meg her story of loneliness and exposes her affair with a 15-year-old black boy.

Babe finally begins to demonstrate

However, she fails to exhibit any remorse in shooting her husband and
confesses a humorous account of thc

dering if this film is worth seeing
or not The answer is yes, and
here is why.
Years ago, 1950 to be exact,
director Akira Kurosawa did a
film called "Rashomon." The
story followed the investigation of
a murder and as the police question everyone involved, they discover that no two versions of the
story are the same. It was, and still is, a true milestone in the history of films and many attempts to
copy its unique formula have followed, and "Go!"
is one of them. What makes "Go!" a good recommendation is the fact that, for the most part, it succeeds in following Kurosawa's formula. With its
references to all-night raves, tantric sex and Ecstasy, and its killer soundtrack featuring the likes of
Fatboy Slim, Air and No Doubt, this film is the
"Rashomon" for the current generation of ravers
and rockers. Is it a classic? Nah, but it'll do pretty well for the time being.

Hohn August's script, while being far more literate than many of the screamfests that account for
the bulk ofthe current "teen" trend, still isn't as intelligent as it would like to be. Liman, however,
manages to make up for what the script lacks.
The performances are uniformly average, except for a few standouts. Sarah Polley, who with
her performance in last year's "The Sweet Hereafter" firmly cemented her position in thefuture of

The latest entry in Hollywood's genre du jour is
the "teen" movie "Go!." This dark comedy, among
others, stars Katie Holmes from TV's "Dawson's
Creek" Scott Wolffrom TV's "Party ofFive" and
Jay Mohr from the movie "Jerry Maguire." The
film borrowing slightly from the techniques of
Robert Altman, follows the stories of several different individuals from one starting point True to the fdms ofAltman, most of the characters end
up interacting with one another
along the way as their stories intertwine.
"Go!" follows the lives of several individuals over a roughly
24-hour period. Among the various scenarios are a valiant effort
to score some Ecstacy, an ill-fated
road trip to Vegas and a Christmas dinner/Amway recruiting
session. For the hedonist, there's
plenty of recreational drug use,
plenty of sex and most importantly, plenty of Katie Holmes.
On a serious note, however, this film doesn't always make the most of its situations. What few
edges it has are courtesy of director Dog Liman,
who proved that he was more than adequate behind a camera with 1996's "Swingers" (and if

Well, the Olympics are long gone, but lately they haven't been very satisfying. There just isn't enough extremity. I've sat down and thought of several events that I would like to see in the next Olympic Games.
Terror and drama, sports and glory. Adding snowboarding just doesn't
cut it.
Thc Olympic Committee should introduce some real action. We're imagining events that are extreme and dangerous - the kinds of sports you shouldn't try at home. Save the good taste, international ambassadorship and sympathy for the frailty of the human condition for thc Goodwill Games.

Sierra Club report finds overwhelming public
support for portecting wildlands
—

WASHINGTON
A national report
and poll released by the Sierra Club
find that America is in the midst of a
wilderness revival, with a resurgence
of interest in protecting wildlands at

both the national and neighborhood
levels.
The poll found such broad-based
support for wilderness conservation
that a majority of voters support buying and protecting wildlands rather
than using the money to increase
military spending — even at a time
when our nation is engaged in armed
conflict.

"These poll numbers and Sierra
Club's SPARE America's Wildlands' report formally recognize a
growing trend — Americans are going wild," said Sierra Club President
Chuck McGrady. "
After nearly two decades of playing defense, Americans are supporting a more ambitious, pro-active
wilderness agenda.

borhood levels, Americans have

"We have learned that the log-

developers never give up. So neither

can we.

"The real keys to saving America's national and neighborhood wildlands are tenacity, and optimism, and
a willingness to take responsibility,
to act personally to protect what's
left of wild America.
By acting now, by harnessing the
power and energy of the wilderness
resurgence sweeping our country, we
can protect America's wildlands, for
our families and for our future," McGrady concluded.

A message to stu ents a lit

For today's college students,
there has always been Earth Day.
Growing up, almost all ofyou participated in school, scout or community
activities that marked this occasion.
But as recently as 1969, there
was nothing called Earth Day. As a
U.S. Senator, I was dismayed the

around us. I could count on one hand
the number of Senators who would
have described themselves as "environmentalists," and I was searching
for some way to change that.
From my travels around the
country, I knew Americans were
much more aware of and concerned
(
about the state of the env
environment
than the political establishment.
Finally it occurred to me that if
we could organize a huge national
demonstration on behalf of the environment it might force the issue onto
the nation's political agenda.
After proposing the idea in a September 1969 speech in Seattle, I sent
a letter to every major college news-

.

paper and took other steps to spread
the word-and wondered if it would
catch on. The public response was
overwhelming,
On the first Earth Day April 22,
1970, some 20 million Americans
took part in a wide range of activities. Just as remarkable was the fact
that I did not organize all this; students and teachers and other citizens
simply felt strongly enough about the
planet's condition that they rushed to
support the cause,
American Heritage Magazine
called Earth Day "one of the most remarkable happenings in the history
of democracy." I never dreamed that
29 years later Earth Day would still
be going strong,
Will the new millennium be
good-or bad-for our planet's health?
The answer depends in large part on
the generation now on our college
campuses.
1 believe most young people understand the importance of environmental protection and what we need
to do to be responsible environmental citizens. The key question, then,

is: Will your generation act on
knowledge and commitment?
If you do, you will be rerrn
bered as the generation that made
critical difference. The key r
lenge for you is to forge and ma ;
a sustainable society: one that, meets
its own needs without depriving future generations of the chance to
meet their needs.

No country has
managed to achieve
ueve that goal,
We are all consuming our capital
and counting it >on the income side ol

base: air, water, soils, forests, rivers,
oceans, minerals, scenic beauty, and
biodiversity, Take that base away,
and all that is left is a wasteland. We
have only one planet. Nothing could
be more important

it is a livable planet.
Through community work, political activity, and lifestyle decisions,
you have the kpower to save Earth.

Delaney also called for an in- from the afore-

crease in the number of scholarships
from 13 to 15, but his most daring
proposal has to do with summer basketball — he wants it to end.
Thanks to a 19X2 ruling that created an early signing period in November — in hopes of letting high
school seniors who have made a decision end the process — and a sixweek "dead" period in January and
February when coaches are denied
contact, summers became the prime

time for college recruiting.
For 25 days each July, coaches
are permitted to congregate at the top
spots and scout players, but not talk
to them.
Star-stocked teams in the Amateur Athletic Union recruit at will
and play in grandiose tournaments in
Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New
York. Many summer league teams,
AAU and independent, are owned
and coached by people who use it as
a primary source of income. The
NCAA has no jurisdiction over these
people.
Critics say they arc motivated by
more than a love for basketball.

be interesting to sec."
Some coaches, like Purdue's
Gene Keady. would like to see a return to the old rules, when all recruiting was done in person during
the school year. Others, like Izzo,
support summer recruiting because it
lessens the in-season pressure.
"If you didn't let us out in the
summer and just in the winter, we

wouldn't be able to spend as much

said. "I think thc month of July could

The issue is irrelevant to Taylor.

sponsor the tournaments and employ
representatives to shower young
players with free footwear, meals
and travel. It is now the unchecked
summer league coach who often
holds the key to a recruit's decision.
Since college coaches can't talk
to players in the summer, they have
to talk to — and in many cases negotiate with — such a middleman.
"(Summer basketball) has developed into a chaotic series of camps,
regional, national and international
competitions, and tournaments funded and fueled by corporate entities
and non-school based agencies and

Ruggers cop Cockfight Tournament title; down fourth ranked IUP
Jay T. Reeder
The Eagle Eye
California University hosted their Fourth Annual
Cockfight Tournament Saturday amidst an array of rain,
slcct, wind and brief sunshine.
It was here that thc Lock Haven rugby team faced
their most anticipated and challenging games of the season. Of thc nine teams scheduled to compete. Slippery
Rock, Indiana, Grove City, California, and LHU were
the only collegiate teams present.
The remaining four teams were comprised of older
mens clubs: Westmoreland, Valley. South Pittsburgh, and
California Old Boys (alumni team).
Anxiousness, adrenaline and all out fury filled the air
as the first round teams were set to kick off. Receiving a
bye in the first round. Haven players were witness to different styles of play on both fields.
The older, morc experienced teams were not as quick
as the collegiate participants but made up for it with punishing hits and severe aggressiveness.
As they observed, there was no room for error. There
would be no second chances.
Heavily favored, Indiana University, who finished
fourth in thc nation in Division II last season quickly
went two and out in thc double elimination tournament.
LHU v. California Old Boys
Thc Haven's first game pitted them against Cal's
alumni team, the Cal Old Boys.
A disappointingly slow start for the Bald Eagles
proved costly as thc Old Boys scored the first try of the
game midway through the first half taking a 7-0 lead
with their collegiate counterparts cheering them on.
As the noise of the crowd increased, so did the intensity level of thc Haven's players. As the first half ended,
the momentum had begun to shift in favor of LHU.
Solid tackles by Aaron Lankford, Ryan Flanagan and
Jeremy Meek provided thc team with several turnovers.
Hard fought rucks by Kevin Sanders, Sean Nugent
and Mike McCorristin allowed the team to gain valuable
field position. Behind the powerful kicks of senior Lonnie record Lock Haven came even closer to scoring as
his deadly accurate kicks sent the Old Boys' fullback

scrambling for support with LHU's smothering defense
charging downficld.
As the second frame began, thc rugby team continued to dominate, keeping the ball on the opponent's side
of the field for thc rest of the game.
One of Record's kicks went deep into the opponent's
try zone. When their fullback attempted to bring the ball
out, Chris Celia stripped him of the ball and Todd Newcomer, who recently returned from a knee injury, jumped
on it to tie the game at seven all.
The ball came out of the scrum close to midfield into the Lock Haven backline and ended up in the hands of
fullback Mike Kaufhold. Turning up field. Kaufhold
used his speed to take the ball 40 meters downficld before being tackled two meters shy of the try zone.
Having been touched by a Cal player before going
out of bounds, possession of the ball was given to LHU
for the throw in the line out.
Bouncing offthe back of a player thc ball was quickly picked up by Newcomer who dove head first for the
the try and the 14-7 win.

LHUv. California
Advancing on to the next round, Lock Haven faced a
California Team that is currently ranked as one of the top
five Division II teams in the nation.
What started out as just another game turned into one
of the fiercest battles in Lock Haven rugby history.
It wasn't about scoring points. It wasn't about showing
anyone up. This game was about playing as intensely as
humanly possible. Dignity ranked higher than just winning and the Bald Eagles played like a well-oiled ma-

chine.
"As a team, we stepped it up another level." said McCorristin, "and if we continue to play fiftcen-as-one,
we'll be recognized as a dominant force in our league."
Try-line barricades and bone crunching hits were the
theme of the game, with tackles by Chuck Herling and
Culum Canally that both denied California points.
Californiareturned the favor by showing their ability to hit hard as well. Todd Watkins had great open-field
tackles before he suffered a dislocation and a spiral fracture of a finger in his right hand but finished the game
despite the injury.
It was anyone's game that could be won or lost with

each tackle.

Kaufhold had an exceptional day at fullback catching
and returning California kicks. His dependability in the
back!ield allowed the rest of hte team to focus on offensive goals.
A pair of failed penalty kicks by California bolstered
LHU's determination to win. A scoreless first half was
followed by another in thc second.
The entire crowd was focused solely on thc game entranced by thc unbelievable match they were witnessing.
Even though this was only a semi-final game, it was
without a doubt the best match of thc tournament.
With the 0-0 tic, both teams went into a five minute
sudden-death overtime period.

The California kicker went first and a huge sigh

Record set the ball on the tec and backed away, lin
ing up what was for him a fairly routine kick.
Sounds of celebration could be heard as the ball sph
the uprights. The ruggers raced downficld celebrating a
3-0 victory over one of the nation's top schools.
"As a graduating senior. I'm proud and happy tha

eighth to Arizona). Despite the criticism that he was too small for what
they needed, the Steelers opted to
pick Louisiana Tech's Troy Edwards.
There is no doubt that he is a big play
man, just ask the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Edwards said before the
game that he was going to pick apart
the Nebraska secondary and responded with a phenomenal 21 receptions
for 405 yards. Pittsburgh hopes that
Edwards turns out as well as the last
player they selected from Louisiana
Tech, a guy by the name of Terry
Bradshaw. Bradshaw only led the
Steelers to four Super Bowl wins and
was elected to the NFL Hall of Fame
(by the way, that was the answer to
last week's trivia question).
The Eagles, with the second overall pick, opted to take Syracuse quarterback Donovan McNabb despite
the fact that they needed a running
back just as bad and Heisman Trophy
winner Ricky Williams was available.
McNabb strongly resembles former Philly signal caller, Randall Cunningham and we all know that he didn't fair very well until this past year
when he was teamed with rookie sensation Randy Moss in Minnesota.
Williams suprisingly lasted until
the fifth pick where the New Orleans
Saints seriously rolled the dice by
trading every one of their draft picks
this year as well as their first and
third round picks for next year to the
Redskins just to move up seven
places in the first round to select
Williams.
Indianapolis, who traded away
Marshall Faulk to the Rams before
the draft, were believed to be in a position to take Williams out from un. _.

With a chant of "woo hoo" the Lock Haven University Lady Ruggers charged the field, and so began their
first ever excursion to the annual University of Stony

Brook Spring Classic.
Although it was the fifth such event, it was the first
time the Haven had been invited to participate in one of
the largest female rugby tournaments on the Eastern
Seaboard, attracting Division I teams such as defending
National Champions Radcliffe, Vassar and Southern
Connecticut Universities.
Nerves were tense the week before the tourney as the
Lady Ruggers primed themselves to go head-to-head
against Divison I teams for a weekend of fun and learning.
Their first game was scheduled for 8:45 a.m. and upon arrival the women were informed that their first opponent would be D-I Cornell. They took the field in nervous apprehension, but it didn't take long for the Lady
Ruggers to realize that the game was well within their
reach.
At half-time thc score was only 5-0 in Cornell's favor but Lock Haven was pumped and ready to go.
Chris DiGuilio tried in the second half but Cornell
came right back with a pair of their own, icing the Haven
15-5. Having dropped their first contest, LHU found itself in a must win situation taking on Drew University at

piece in the victory.
Miya Bazely had a strong run down the field, capped
off by Bivona's try. Bivona also added two conversions.
Lock Haven's last game was against Ithaca. A win
would send LHU into the finals on Sunday as the tournaments dark horse. A loss would put them into the consolation game. The game was tough the whole way
through and the score was knotted up at 0 midway
through the match.
Lock Haven was threatening the entire second half,
keeping the ball near Ithaca's try-zone but having a hard
time pushing across the line.
With only four minutes left in regulation rookie
Steph Blair found a hole in Ithaca's "D" and broke
through for the game's only try. Bivona made the conversion to make the fianl score 7-0 LHU.
The team that had planned to use the tourney as a
learning experience was now vying for first place.
Sore and stiff from the day before the lady ruggers
stretched and psyched themselves up for a tough
matchup against Oswego in the championship game.
The two teams were very evenly matched and Lock
