Student activity fee may be raised
by Jen Baer
Eagle Eye News Editor_
The Student Cooperative Council (SCC)
is currently looking at raising the student
activity fee by 18% over a three-year period.
The Activity Fee Enhancement Act
would increase the activity fee from $60,
where it currently stands, to $70.80 over
the next three years. There would be a six
percent increase in the fee every year,
which would cost students about three
more dollars every semester,
said SCC
President David Keenan.
The activity fee has not been raised since
1985, according to Keenan. The 18% increase would bring the fee "in sync" with
what it should be today, he said.
"It's something that's been a long time
coming," Keenan said. When compared
with tuition and room and board fees, which
have been raised over the years, the activity
fee has remained the same, he said.
The activity fee is a student fee which is
"pumped right back into students' activities," Keenan said. These activities include
student clubs, special events such as comedians, and athletics.
The current activity fee is not covering
clubs' needs, Keenan said. This makes it
difficult to approve clubs' budgets, he said.
The SCC has had to start "picking and
choosing" when it decides how money from
the activity should be budgeted, and someone loses out, Keenan said.
The current fee is a minimum of $40,000
under what is needed to meet the needs of
student clubs, according to Keenan.
This deficit has had to be made up by tak-
ing money from other SCC revenue producing areas such as the bookstore, according
to Keenan.
The bill introducing the raise in the activity fee, which has been modified by the SCC
Ways and Means and Appropriations Committees, also gives the SCC the right to review the fee every year beginning in 1997
and decide if it should be adjusted according to the national rate of inflation.
If the national rate of inflation is only two
or three percent, the activity fee would
probably be raised by the same amount,
Keenan said.
Keenan contacted nine, our University included, of the 14 schools in the State System of Higher Education (SSHE), and only
one of these schools had a lower activity fee
than our University. Millersville's activity
fee is $50, he said.
"1 don't believe the numbers, in all honesty," Keenan said. For a school the size of
Millersville, he finds it "outrageous" that
they could operate with an activity fee of
that amount, unless they have other fees to
bring in money, he said.
"If they're doing it, it's amazing," Keenan
said. "It really is."
All of the other schools he contacted may
also raise their fees, he said. Chaney may
raise its activity fee by 50%, and Indiana
University of Pennsylvania just raised its
fee to $113 a semester, according to Keenan.
He can only speculate on the reasons why
the fee has not been increased since 1985,
It should have been raised in 1988, because
that was the last time the fee covered the

Portrayal of women in ads subject of forum
by Brian Gevert
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
Advertisements construct gender relations
and have a "tremendous affect on" the public. Dr. Karen Elias proposed at the first
student/faculty forum of the semester, held
on Tuesday, Feb. 15 in the Hall of Flags.
The forum dealt with the construction of the
female body.
Elias informed the audience that they are
exposed to two thousand advertisements a
day.
The general public typically dismisses
the sexually oppressive messages because
the models who pose for the photographs
do it of their own free will, she said.
The public views advertisements as a
reflection of reality, Elias said.
"When we see them [advertisements] as
reflections of reality, we miss how women
and different races appear subordinate," Elias said.
She used advertisements from Vogue
magazine to support her argument.
In the first set of pictures presented, Elias
commented on the predominantly sexist
role of women in advertisements.
"Women in advertisements are pictured as
dumb, disembodied and fragmented, and in

violent, disturbing images, " Elias said.
She held up an advertisement of a series
of women's mouths—"rampaging mouths."
She asserted it is not the women who are
important but their mouths. She was emphasizing a disembodied or fragmented
("not attached to a human woman") use of
women in advertisements.
Elias went on to discuss women used as
"prostitutes." She cited there are certain
things that suggest a "prostitute" in a photo,
including a model's stance, her boots, and
fishnet stockings.
She commented on how images such as
these lead to a double standard and said
that "women who are freely sexually active
are seen as whores," as opposed to men
who are sexually active.
However, she did not agree with the images portrayed. It is female bodies that are
being sold in these advertisements and
not the products, Elias said.
All of the images represent part of a
backlash aimed toward current feminists.
Elias believes the backlash is aimed toward the perception of feminists as being
prudish, self-righteous women who take it
upon themselves to police images.
Freshman Jessica Stull did not think the

needs of student clubs, he said.
It was at that time that the PUB
expansion fee was being discussed, and
the SCC may have been afraid of raising
the activity fee, Keenan said.
The SCC is unable to cover the same
services at the 1985 activity fee rate, and
he knows of no other service
organization that is still operating at a
1985 rate.
Keenan is hopeful that the increase, if it
is passed by the senate, would meet the
needs of students. He introduced the bill
to the senate at Wednesday night's SCC
meeting. At the next SCC meeting on
March 16, the senate will probably vote
on the bill.
The bill has been going over well with
the SCC committees, the University
trustees, and administration, but Keenan
is still concerned that a small group of
students will not approve of the increase
in the activity fee.

The Student Cooperative Council (SCC)
approved a bill at its meeting Wednesday
night that will give full-time SCC employees
the opportunity to take classes for college
credit and be reimbursed for the classes by
the SCC.
Under the Employee Supplemental Credit
Training Act, the amount for which an employee would be reimbursed would depend
on the grade he or she received in the class.
For example, if the person received an "A"
in the class, he or she would be fully reimbursed for the class. A "B" letter grade
would result in an 80% reimbursement, and
a "C" would result in a reimbursement of
60%.
The employees would not necessarily
have to take the classes at this University,

comment on feminists as prudes was an
appropriate evaluation.
"I don't think I agree with the point of
feminist women as prudes," Stull said. "I
think that young, vibrant women are a pmrt
of the feminist movement and I think
society knows that. "
The duration of the program focused on
the role of African-American women in
advertisements and the role plastic surgery
plays in society.
Elias believes many advertisements
portray
African-American women as
commodities and servants to the privileged
whites. She said these photos contain
images that lead to the construction of
negative ideologies.
Lastly, Elias discussed various forms of
plastic surgery and their affects on women.
She proposed a hypothetical question to
the audience, "When women are falling
prey to the beauty myth by having
surgeries to change themselves, can we still
say we are impervious to advertisements?"
Elias emphasized that woman are readily
"changing their bodies instead of the world
out there."
The body has become
something that can be "constructed and put
on."
In case of bad weather, off campus
students should call
893-2600 to find out about
possible class cancellations.
SCC President David Keenan said. However, the classes must be taken at a nationally
accredited institution.
The SCC will get the money needed to
pay for these classes through its revenue
producing areas, such as the bookstore and
the Eagle Wing Snack Bar, Keenan said.
Keenan also mentioned giving full-time
SCC employees health benefits.
In other business, the SCC amended its
policy and procedure for the derecognition
of a SCC recognized club or organization.
The policy was amended so that a SCC recognized club or organization may be derecognized if it discriminates on prospective
or present members based on sexual orientation.
Keenan introduced the Activity Fee Enhancement Act, which would raise the current activity fee by a total of 18% over the
next three years, to the senate. The act will
be discussed at the next SCC meeting on

to "the boot"
(INDIANA) - With the introduction of a
new hand-held computer system by campus p)olice, more and more parking violators and non-permit vehicles are getting
"the boot."
A boot is a wheel-locking device used
for in-place impoundment of vehicles.
When a parking violation is entered into
the computer it will immediately inform
officers of people with outstanding viola
tions.
As noted in the parking regulations, vehicles with five or more tickets will be
booted.
William Montgomery, director of public
safety, stressed that vehicles without permits which have received 10 or more
tickets during a permit year (Sept. 1 -Aug.
31) for failure to have a permit will be
booted or towed, regardless of whether or
not the ticket violations have been paid.
There is a $25 fee for people who are
booted in addition to the outstanding ticket violations that must be paid before a
vehicle is released.

Jon Paul DeFoor, of Ringgold, Pa. has
been bound over for trial on counts of indecent assault and indecent exposure,
both second degree misdemeanors; criminal trespass, a third degree misdemeanor; harassment, a summary offense; and
disorderly conduct, also a summary offense.
The victim, a 22-year-old student at
Clarion University, testified at the preliminary hearing before District Justice
Norman Heasley on Dec. 7. According to
her testimony, she had never dated DeFoor, but had known him.
During her testimony, the victim said
DeFoor allegedly attempted to kiss her

room and she turned her head away from
the attempts.
The defendant wanted to know why she

on the bed several times while in the
room.
The victim left the room and went to

The victim returned to her room and

Rollerbladers and skateboarders will
soon be taking caution, as the city ordinance regulating rollerskating, sledding,
rollerblading, skateboarding, and coasting
is increasingly enforced both on campus
and in town.
The city ordinance prohibits the use of
any public highway or alley in the city for
the purpose of sledding, coasting, skateboarding, or rollerskating, except in designated play highways.
Also, it is prohibited to coast or ride upon
any sled, skateboard, rollerskates or similar
devices on the sidewalks of University
property or on the designated business and
residential areas.
The use of skateboards and rollerskates
is permitted in designated areas, providing
the operator yields the right-of-way to pedestrians.
This winter's snow and ice pile-up has
contributed to the problem by driving joggers from the covered sidewalks to the
streets, said Lock Haven Police Chief
Charles Shoemaker.
Jogging is not prohibited, but it must be
confined to the sidewalks, said Shoemaker. "Joggers pose a hazard in the street,"
he said.
Recent incidents between joggers and
drivers have made an increase of enforcement necessary, said Lieutenant Dennis
Grenninger of Law Enforcement. The police officers do not want to arrest students.
said.
Enforcement action is up to the discretion
of each officer, said Shoemaker. "They
may cite offenders immediately, or warn
them first," he said. "Some of the officers
have been issuing warnings."
No pedestrians have been killed in 14
years because of these regulations, said
Shoemaker.
As soon as the construction of the levee
is completed, a jogging path will be created there for walking and jogging, said
Shoemaker. "Our intent with the levee path
is to get joggers off the streets," he said.
"We certainly want the students to know
that we are enforcing this, not in a harassing nature, but to protect those who utilize
the sidewalks," Shoemaker said.
"It is a city ordinance, but we are in the
city of Lock Haven, so it does apply
here," said Richard Hepner, director of
law enforcement.
There is a question raised about whether
Law Enforcemera officers are permitted to
enforce the ordinance, since it is a city ordinance, Hepner said. "I am trying to get a

Opinion - Editorial
Generation X defended
Raising the activity
fee makes "cents" Sexuality should not be a social taboo
Students should listen to all the
arguments before they start complaining
Your activity fee may go from $60 to $70 in three
years if certain members of the SCC get their way.
But before you start protesting, listen to the reason
why.
There are now 60 clubs on campus, each of which
is demanding funding from an increasingly shrinking
pot. The 18 percent increase, spread out over three
years, would generate an additional $60,000 a year
for the SCC (based on a stable enrollment of 3,400
students). But that's not just more money for the
SCC ~ that's more money for you, and your clubs,
as well.
Yes, there may be other ways to find the money to
increase club funding ~ there always are ~ but consider this: the student activity fee hasn't been raised
since 1984. Granted, there are more students here
now that 10 years ago, but there are also more clubs,
and more hands hungry for their piece of the pie.
And the SCC's pie isn't that big when you compare it to the other state schools ~ only Millersville
has a lower activity fee. And it won't be getting that
much bigger either ~ SCC President Dave Keenan
believes that Lock Haven will still have one of the
lowest activity fees in the state system, even after the
increase. That's because most of the other state
school student governments are planning 20 to 30
percent increases.
No one likes to pay more to go to school, but this
is one increase that will actually help the students.
So please, before you begin protesting the increase,
listen to the reasoning behind it. You might just
agree with it.

Many will visit Scotland in the fall,,.
Students given opportunity to see the world
by Vince Miller
Eagle Eye News Reporter
Would you want to go to Scotland if you
had the chance? That is one question asked
by many students in the foreign exchange
program at the University .
The interest to go to Scotland is present
among people, but there are many choices
of countries for students to pick from, said
John Johnston, dean of nternational studies.
At the most, ten students from the University go to Scotland each year, compared
to 30 to 40 foreign students who want to
come to the University, which makes a
problem for an even exchange.
However, the rumors can be laid to rest
about the exchange program with Scotland
coming to an end; the status of the exchange
is good.
"There will be many going in the fall,"
Johnston said. The Scotland exchange has
been in operation for about five or six
years.
David Keenan, Student Cooperative
Council (SCC) President, is friends with
Campbell Murdoch from Glasgow, Scot-
land, who was previously an exchange student at the University.
On November 4, 1993, they signed the
Glasgow-Lock Haven Pact. Article II of
the pact explains that the student unions of
both institutions will strive to uphold the
educational exchange between Glasgow
Caledonian University and Lock Haven
University.
Tim Burdick went to Scotland at Glasgow
Caledonian University in the fall of 1992.
He visited Scotland and other European
countries.
It's a different type of social atmosphere,
and you get a new persfiective on global issues by going to other countries, according
to Burdick.
"It puts you in a different dialect of English, but yet it's like learning a foreign language," Burdick said. He also mentions that
European cities are more of a melting pot.
Hopefully students at the University will
see that they are provided with the opportunity to see what else is out there in the
world and will take advantage of it.
Posters outside tlie international office offer views of some other countries students can visit through the exchange program (photo by Darrell Bressler).

A new corresponding secretary was appointed during the last Student Cooperative Council (SCC) meeting held on Feb.9.
Keith Balliet, a former SCC Senator, assumed the responsibilities of Ann-Marie Mazzeo,
who resigned as corresponding secretary last December.
Mazzeo could not continue as secretary because she is student teaching near Philadelphia
this semester.
Balliet resigned as senator to become the new corresponding secretary. As a former senator, Balliet sat on the public relations committee and the social committee.
Balliet said he sees this move as a positive one. He hopes to perform the job well and
stay on top of the situation.
The responsibilities of the corresponding secretary involve keeping the SCC in touch
with University administrators and the other State System of Higher Education (SSHE)
schools. Balliet engaged in his first task as the new corresponding secretary by sending
out information concerning this past week's senate meeting.

Being black on a
by Joyce Duriga
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Of the approximately 3,500
students on Lock Haven's campus,
about 70 are African American
students. Being that there is such a
large gap between these numbers,
the Eagle Eye wondered what is was
like being one of these 70 students
and whether or not they are treated
differently because of their minority
status.
Four different African American
students from different backgrounds
with different
interests were
interviewed.
The four students
interviewed for this article were
Anna
Smith, Andre
Brown,
Charmaine Benson and David
Keenan.
All four students agreed that they
feel like black students on a white
campus, rather than regular students
at a college campus. "You are made
to feel that there is a difference," said
Brown, a junior sociology major.
Each student also agreed that this campus has a
racism problem, but it is not an overt problem.

Symphonic
band to perform
Winter Concert
by Dion Westbrook
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Under the direction of Jack Schmidt, the
annual Symphonic Band Winter Concert
will be held March 3 at 8 p.m. in the Price
Performance Center.
The 48-member band will play pieces that
date from 1780 to the present day. This
concert is one of two performances that will
be held this semester. The Symphonic
Band will perform the President's Concert
on May 1 in Price Performance Center.
The Symphonic Band Winter Concert is
open to the community and is free of

campus
said he has never personally experienced racism on campus but believes there is still a
problem. He said "...there is a small segment of people on campus that are still racist and
they have become progressively worse while the rest of the campus has become
progressively better."
A possible solution to this problem is to bring more black
students to Lock Haven University. Right now, the
majority of the black students who come to this campus are
here because of athletics. Both Brown and Keenan said that
more black students need to be recruited for academics so
black students will no longer be associated only with
athletics.
Benson, a junior elementary education major from
Pittsburgh, said in order to get more black students to come
to this campus "the administration needs to retain the ones
they already have." The current trend at LHU is many
minority students transfer out before their senior year.
Smith, a resident of Lock Haven and a senior psychology
major, said that it is important to have black students on
campus in order to "teach other students about diversity."
A point of concern to these students is that there is not
enough education made available to white students about
African American history or African American people in
general.
Another idea that the majority of these students agreed
upon is that they often feel like "token" students in class.
Most often, they are the only black students in their classes
and the teachers will call on them and expect them to know
everything about African American history or to voice the
opinion of their entire race. I came here to be taught, I shouldn't have to teach teacliers,"
Benson said.
Many white students often comment on how the black students at Lock Haven seem to
socialize only with each other - especially in Bentley Dining Hall. In response to this
statement Smith said, "We want to be with people who are like us ... we all know what it is
like to be minorities on campus." Keenan, however, said the African American students
being together all of the time is a problem but doesn't know who should break it. "As long
as the two groups stay separate, there is no chance for understanding," he said.
A speculated reason for awkwardness between the two groups on campus is that many
Lock Haven students come from rural areas where they are not exposed to students of
diverse cultures. Keenan believes that this situation is improving with the growing number
of students coming from metropolitan areas.
All of the students agree that there needs to be communication between white and black
students for improved relations.

Prong moves beyond Headbanger days

' ^ music ~ Prong has added a more industrial
and experimental sound to their heavy
style.
The first track is "Another Worldly
Device," which has such a clean, driving
sound it rivals that of Helmet. "Whose Fist
Is This Anyway?" is almost like a heavy
disco tune. It's probably the heaviest song
ever that you can dance to — imagine the

For those of you who remember the old
theme music to MTV's Headbanger's Ball
before using various songs off the most
recent Pantera album, the music was by
New York's Prong. Prong is back once again
with their fifth album Cleansing
(Epic
Records).
Prong is one of the bands that came out of
the big scene at the famous New York rock
club CBGB's. In fact, one of the members
of Prong worked there when the scene
started to bloom. The different styles of
music that came from this scene have
influenced their unique sound, and is even
more evident on this record. With the
addition of bassist Paul Raven, ex-member

Liberals attempt to rewrite history
Conservative
Column
by
Mike
Pulsifer
The thing liberals seem to love to do the
most is to try to rewrite history. I'm speaking specifically about the 1980s. They love
to tell us how the '80s was the decade of
greed and economic decline — all in the attempt to justify their massive government
programs.
Fortunately, some of us are interested in
telling the truth. To this end, I did a little
research and found the truth ~ evidence that
the '80s was not the decade of greed or economic decline.
First of all, the American economy prospered in the '80s. American families saw
their median income rise (in constant 1990
dollars) from $32,190 in 1981 to $36,062 in
1989. That's a 12 percent increase. In addition, the median household income rose
from $27,425 in 1981 to $30,468 in 1989.
That's an 11 percent increase. The dis[)Osable personal income, in constant 1987
dollars, saw a per capita increase of 19 percent. The same was true for (per capita)
personal income.
Second, compensation for employees rose
If you don't vote,
don't complain
Are you registered to vote? Do you vote
in local, state and federal elections? Do
you participate in politics? If you said yes
to any of these questions then you are the
declining simple majority. I say simple
majority because in the last presidential
election only 55 percent of the total population in this country voted.
If you think 55 percent is terrible, you
have not seen the figures for the presidential elections of 1988 and 1984, which
were 53 percent and 50 percent. Presidential election years have the highest
turnout. State and local elections have a
significantly lower turnout.
This country was built upon the ideology
of democracy: "one man, one vote." The
framers of the Constitution thought that if
the people elected their representatives
then the government would be just. This
was based on the principle that since the
representatives would have to please their
constituents they would act in a just way,
by doing what was best for their constituents. If not they did not follow through,
the representatives would not have a
chance of being re-elected.
The problem with this ideology is that
almost half of the total population does
not vote, and out of the half that does
vote, many of them represent some form
of interest group, such as the National
Rifle Association, Pro-Choice and ProLife advocates, and the environmental
groups.
You ask, "what is the problem with
that?" The government becomes corrupt
by all of these interest groups and lobbyists who influence prospective and in
cumbent politicians. These groups prom
ise their support to get the politician
elected in return for the politician's
promises to back legislation the group
wants.
The result of this current system is peo
pie complain that the politicians ignore
them and only focus on the interest groups
What else do the people expect? I mean
get real. If a person whats to get elected to
office is he going to please those who do
not vote or those who do?
People say to me that they do not vote
because they don't think their vote matters.
I ask them, would they prefer a dictator or
communism where they have no vote?
They always answer "NO!" But when 1
ask them why they do not vote, they do not
know what to say.
1 say it's better to vote than to not vote
because at least when I vote I know that I
am trying to make a difference, rather than
just complaining about the problems of
government and society.
Some people tell me that the reason why
they do not vote is because they do not
know anything about the candidates and
cannot make an informed decision. The
only answer I have to that is they should
learn about their politicians. It is not that
hard. All one has to do is pick up a news
paper, watch television, ask a friend or
possibly even join an organization.
If the percentage of people who vote
keeps declining, this nation will no longer
be built upon the notion that majority rules
because it will be the minority who will be
ruling and making decisions for the whole
society. And if anything goes wrong (and
you do not vote), then you can only blame
yourself
faster than the cost of living. The Employment Cost Index (ECI) is a method used to
measure employee compensation, which
consists of "wages, salaries, and employer
costs for employee benefits."
From 1984 to 1989 (I couldn't find data for
years earlier), the ECI for civilian employees rose 23.3 percent. For employees
of private industry, the ECI increased 21.8
percent while a 30.2 percent increase was
witnessed by state and local government
employees. This all can be compared to the
change of 19.3 percent in the Consumer
Price Index over the same time period.
Clearly, this does not seem indicative of
a "decade of greed." Employers spent more
on their employees over the years than was
necessary to compensate for the cost of living increases.
Next, I would like to address unemployment. Over Reagan's presidential
terms, unemployment fell. It went up only
once, and that was between 1982 and 1983.
In 1981, the unemployment rate, as a percent
of the labor force, was 7.5 percent. In 1989,
it was 5.2 percent. After that brief increase
between '82 and '83, the unemployment rate
stayed below the 1981 figure.
"The rich got rich and the poor got poorer." Do you remember that statement?
Erase it from your memory. It's a lie. In
1981, the percentage of people below the
poverty level was 14 percent. For families,
it was 11.2 percent. In 1989, only 12.8 percent of all people were below the poverty
level, while l0.3 percent of all families were
in the same predicament. In addition, in
1981, 19.3 percent of all people were at or
below 12.5 percent of the poverty'level,
while only 17.3 percent were in 1989.
Families saw a decline from 15.7 percent to
14.0 percent. Doesn't look like the poor got
poorer to me.
That lie I quoted above can also be debunked by taking a look at the effective tax
rates. The U.S. Treasury data grouped the
income levels as follows: $5,000, $10,000,
$20,000, $25,000, $35,000, $50,000, and
$75,000. In 1980, the effective tax rates
were negative 10.0, negative 5.4, 7.5, 9.9,
13.6,18.7, and 24.9 percent, respectively.
In 1988, Reagan's last budget year, the tax
rates were negative 14.0, negative 8.6, 5.4,
7.3,9.5,13.1, and 17.1 percent, respectively.
EVERYONE saw their tax rates go down,
and NOT just the rich, as the liberals keep
trying to tell us.
By the way, federal receipts from income
taxes rose after cutting taxes ($517.1 billion
in 1980 to $990.7 billion in 1989).
Lastly, I would like to dismiss the myth
that defense spending increased in the 1980s
at the expense of social spending. As a
matter of fact, human resources (Social Security, Income Security, Medical Care,
Health, Education and Veteran's Benefits)
saw an increase greater than that for defense
($206.6 billion versus $146.0 billion). More
money was spent on human resources than
on defense ($568.7 billion versus $303.6
billion).
If you aren't convinced that what I am
telling you is the truth, go to the library and
find 1992 Statistical Abstracts of the United
States in the reference section. That was
my source.
Reading clinic provides
experience, help
by Chris Spancake
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Thirteen Lock Haven University students
will be running a free reading clinic for
elementary school children.
Dr. Susan Robbins' Practicum in the
Diagnose in
Remediation of Reading
Difficulties class will be involved.
"This is a good hands-on experience for the
Lock Haven student," said Robbins, a
foundations studies professor. "They get to
apply the skills that they have learned in
class."
The elementary school children are mainly
from the area of Lock Haven, although some
of the professors at the University have
enrolled their children. The clinic is for
children in first through sixth grades. The
clinic will be very individualized, focusing
and improving upon problem areas for each
child.
The clinic will be held in Robinson Hall
every Tuesday and Thursday evening for one
hour. For other activities, students will meet
in the library and gyms.
The reading clinic is open to the public
although it is currently full. Children can be
put on the waiting list by calling Robbins at
893-2240. Her line is also open to any
questions concerning the clinic.

Five school records were broken at the
PSAC Championships last week at Indiana
University of Pennsylvania by the women's
swim team.
For the second year in a row, Stacie
Schultz was the highest finisher for Lock
Haven University. She finished ninth in
one-meter diving. The junior just missed
qualifying for finals. Coach Tom Justice felt
that it was, "difficult to get edged out of a
championship based on a subjective
evaluation."
Justice later stated it was the highlight of
Thursday for Lock Haven at the meet. The
down side is that it may be the last time
Schultz dives in the PSACs because they are
dropping diving from the conference.
Also Thursday morning, Beth Lloyd
qualified for the finals in the 500-yard
freestyle with a time of 5:25.00. It was one
second off her personal best. She ended up
placing tenth overall in the 500-yard
freestyle.
The 800-yard free.style relay was next for
the swimmers from Lock Haven. The four
swimmers representing the Bald Eagles
were Carla Ford, Jen Tomel, Meg Wetterau,
and Lloyd. The team swam a 8:39.97 which
did not qualify them for the finals, but did
break a school record.
Friday was a record-breaking day for Lock
Haven.
First, Tomel competed in the
100-yard back.stroke. She swam her best
time of the season, but it was not enough to
qualify for the finals.
Lloyd swam the 200-yard freestyle in the
morning. She broke the old school record
Baseball
Swimming
and qualified for finals. It was her fastest
time of her college career. In the finals, she
bested the mark she set earlier in the day and
holds the school record for the 200-yard
freestyle with a time of 2:00.39. The
100-yard butterfly was an event that Lloyd
also competed in on Friday. She swam to a
school record time of 1:01.94, barely
missing the finals. A 13th place finish was
all she could muster.
At night, the 200-yard freestyle relay
broke Lock Haven's school record, too. The
team of Ford, Tomel, Wetterau, and Lloyd
swam a time of 1:46.57.
On the final day of the championships,
Lloyd again set another school record. She
qualified for finals with a time of 55.97 in
the 100-yard freestyle. In the finals, she
swam a 55.93 which topped her record by
four-hundredths of a second.
Finally, the 400-yard freestyle relay
record tumbled when the team beat the time
by more than three seconds. Justice said
that there was more team spirit on the relay
team than they had the whole year as a team.
He said that Mary Ann Maetozo did a great
job as diving coach, especially working
with Stacie.
She also helped with the
swimmers at the meet.
When asked what the team needs to do to
improve for next year. Justice had two
replies. One was that the swimmers here
now have to continue to work hard and must
improve. Secondly, Lock Haven must
recruit more swimmers.

Ever wonder what it would be like to go
head-to-head with an American Gladiator,
like Tower, Laser, Saber, Viper, or Nitro?
Well, just ask Frank Conches a 22 year-old
junior here at Lock Haven from Mount
Carmel , PA .
It all started in August of '92 when he and
some of his friends were at a local mall and
jokingly signed up for American Gladiators
try-outs. "We laughed at it," said Frank.
"Who would ever think one of us would
ever be on the show?"
In November, Frank received a brochure
and a letter inviting him to the try-outs at
the Spectrum in Philadelphia. He didn't
know what to expect, "1 only watched it on
TV a few times."
The try-outs turned out to be a type of

push-ups in a minute, or X number of
sit-ups, you were sent home. In addition to
these Frank also was tested with pull-ups,

Powerball test. Out of 575 people who
tried out, only 50 were left at the end of the
trials. Of those 50, only three would be
selected to appear on the show. "I really
didn't think I had a chance."
It was January of '93 when he received
the phone call, letter and plane ticket that
invited him out to Universal Studios in
California to compete on The American
Gladiators. Frank, who was 21 at the time,
was going to be the youngest competitor to

be on the show, "It was like a dream...just to
be on TV."
He competed against a fellow competitor
and the Gladiators in a variety of events
including Breakthrough and Conquer, the
Astrosphere, the Human Cannonball, the
Joust, Hang Tough, Powerball, the Wall,
Swing-shot, and the Eliminator. "Powerball
was one of my favorite events," said Frank.
"It wasn't too bad."
Frank won and competed two more times
with the same results. He was invited to the
finals only to be forced to sit out with a back
injury. "They said that 's it," according to
Frank. "If you want to come back you have
to try-out."
Despite having to go through the try-outs
a second time, Frank is going to try it again.
"I'm healthy now and who knows, I may be
able to try again this summer."

Grapplers prepare to feast on Huskies
by Jason Hagan
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The proud Bald Eagles of last week
seemed to have taken a swoop into a ravine
last weekend when they traveled to Clarion
to take on the new PSAC champions. They
took quite a beating. Clarion University
routed the LHU squad by a score of 36-6.
After a steadfast bout with Penn State two
weeks ago, they traveled to Clarion to do
battle once again and were helplessly denied
any respect from the tough Golden Eagles.
Tired is the Eagle? Not really. Clarion has
prepared a team this year that may just
surmount that of Penn State.
Wrestling
Two wrestlers, however, did manage to
defeat their opponents. Junior 158-pounder
Scott Goodale beat Tyrone Brown by a score
of 6-2.
Goodale posts the team's best record at
31-8. He is currently third in the overall
PSAC rankings, which contains a total of 11
teams.
The team's other victory came from
redshirt
freshman Mike Guerin, 177pounds. He defeated sixth-ranked Dan
Payne by a convincing score of 5-2. In the
match Payne was unable to take Guerin
down.
The plot would have thickened if everyone
had known that they were former teammates.
Guerin is a transfer student from Clarion
University. While there last year, he spent
the season as a redshirt. Guerin said that he
did work out with Payne in practice quite
often.
Geurin made a statement about his
practicing with Payne saying, "I honestly
don't recall scoring a single point on him
(Payne) all season last year."
Guerin posts a 14-8 record this year and
although it doesn't demand "mega" status, he
has demanded status with his intensity and
demeanor on the mat.
He has had some close losses to some
highly touted opponents. One of those
losses was a narrow one-point margin to
second-ranked
Dean Morrison of West
Virginia University.
Guerin has nailed a landmark victory over
a
top-ten wrestler and has established
himself as a threat to all he encounters on the
mat.
The team
travels
to
Bloomsburg
University tonight for their last dual meet of
the season. The team will then begin to
prepare for the Eastern Wrestling League
(EWL) tournament which they will host on
March 5-6. The tourney is the qualifier for
the NCAA Division I Championships which
will be held in Chapel Hill, North Carolina
on March 17-19.
Tyson, Watkins shine in lUP loss Trackers improve at Cornell
by Leon Fitch
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
When LHU's men's Basketball team went
into California of Pa. last Saturday they
were looking to finish up a tough season on
an up note by doing well against their last
three opponents, all of whom are nationally
ranked.
The last time LHU met the Vulcans of CU
they were edged 83-75. The Eagles were led
by Mike Shue, who checked in with 34
points.
Saturday, Shue again led the Eagles with
his 21 pts. but was the only Eagle in double
figures.
Unlike in their meeting LHU
seemed overmatched.
Cal's defense
smothered the Eagles and held them to just
34% shooting in the first half compared to
Cal.'s 62% clip.
The Vulcans took a commanding 46-27
lead at the break. Lock Haven continued to
struggle in the second half After Harold
Tyson, Victor Watkins and Chad McKinney
Men's Basketball
fouled out. Coach Dave Blank was left with
only six players. CU rolled to a 101-59
victory.
As the second ranked Indians of lUP came
into the Thomas Field House on Wednesday
night it was the Eagles last home game of the
season and the last of seniors Harold Tyson
and Victor Watkins' careers.
The Indians showed no thanks by jumping
out to a quick 21-4 lead in the first eight
minutes of the game. lUP forced LHU into
14 first-half turnovers and a 54-30 score.
LHU was unable to overcome the early run
of the Indians as they lost 93-75.
Two bright spots for the Eagles were the
performances of Tyson and Watkins. This
was to be the seniors' finale at the field house
and they at least did not disappoint.
Tyson went out on an impressive game
with a double-double, 17 pts. and 14
rebounds. Watkins led the Eagles with 20
pts on 10-16 shooting from the floor.

Indoor Track
The indoor track team showed no signs of
intimidation as they faced some tough
Division I, III, and Canadian competition at
Cornell's Robert Kane Invitational last
Saturday.
Head Coach Mark Elliston said, "It was
our toughest meet so far, but our athletes'
performances were pretty good. Everyone
looks as though they are starting to actually
'race' in their respective events instead of
trying to 'survive' them."
The women's relay team finished in
second place with an overall time of 13:37.
Amy Yarger led the charge with a 2:34
800- meter split, followed by Shelle Roush
who ran her 400 meters in 66 seconds.
Kristen Wolfe ran the 1200-meter third leg
in 4:09, and Brenda Trimble's 5:46 1500
meters topped off their stellar performance.

time of 10:50.3.
Greg Rutz started things off for the team
by running the 800 meters in 2:05. Jason
Lloyd took over from there with a 53.9
split in the 400 meters, followed by Scott
Susten's 3:17 in the 1200 meters. Senior
Travis Faulkner finished things off for the
team with a 4:34 1500 meters.
The men's team added a couple of new
qualifiers to the team as well. John Martin
who has already qualified for ECACs in
the triple jump, also met the standard in
the longjump with a leap of 20'-6 1/2".
Scott Susten's 2:37 in the 1000 meters
qualified him for conferences as well.
Susten also met the standard for the 1500
meters during a meet earlier this season.

Student activity fee may be raised
by Jen Baer
Eagle Eye News Editor_
The Student Cooperative Council (SCC)
is currently looking at raising the student
activity fee by 18% over a three-year period.
The Activity Fee Enhancement Act
would increase the activity fee from $60,
where it currently stands, to $70.80 over
the next three years. There would be a six
percent increase in the fee every year,
which would cost students about three
more dollars every semester,
said SCC
President David Keenan.
The activity fee has not been raised since
1985, according to Keenan. The 18% increase would bring the fee "in sync" with
what it should be today, he said.
"It's something that's been a long time
coming," Keenan said. When compared
with tuition and room and board fees, which
have been raised over the years, the activity
fee has remained the same, he said.
The activity fee is a student fee which is
"pumped right back into students' activities," Keenan said. These activities include
student clubs, special events such as comedians, and athletics.
The current activity fee is not covering
clubs' needs, Keenan said. This makes it
difficult to approve clubs' budgets, he said.
The SCC has had to start "picking and
choosing" when it decides how money from
the activity should be budgeted, and someone loses out, Keenan said.
The current fee is a minimum of $40,000
under what is needed to meet the needs of
student clubs, according to Keenan.
This deficit has had to be made up by tak-
ing money from other SCC revenue producing areas such as the bookstore, according
to Keenan.
The bill introducing the raise in the activity fee, which has been modified by the SCC
Ways and Means and Appropriations Committees, also gives the SCC the right to review the fee every year beginning in 1997
and decide if it should be adjusted according to the national rate of inflation.
If the national rate of inflation is only two
or three percent, the activity fee would
probably be raised by the same amount,
Keenan said.
Keenan contacted nine, our University included, of the 14 schools in the State System of Higher Education (SSHE), and only
one of these schools had a lower activity fee
than our University. Millersville's activity
fee is $50, he said.
"1 don't believe the numbers, in all honesty," Keenan said. For a school the size of
Millersville, he finds it "outrageous" that
they could operate with an activity fee of
that amount, unless they have other fees to
bring in money, he said.
"If they're doing it, it's amazing," Keenan
said. "It really is."
All of the other schools he contacted may
also raise their fees, he said. Chaney may
raise its activity fee by 50%, and Indiana
University of Pennsylvania just raised its
fee to $113 a semester, according to Keenan.
He can only speculate on the reasons why
the fee has not been increased since 1985,
It should have been raised in 1988, because
that was the last time the fee covered the

Portrayal of women in ads subject of forum
by Brian Gevert
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
Advertisements construct gender relations
and have a "tremendous affect on" the public. Dr. Karen Elias proposed at the first
student/faculty forum of the semester, held
on Tuesday, Feb. 15 in the Hall of Flags.
The forum dealt with the construction of the
female body.
Elias informed the audience that they are
exposed to two thousand advertisements a
day.
The general public typically dismisses
the sexually oppressive messages because
the models who pose for the photographs
do it of their own free will, she said.
The public views advertisements as a
reflection of reality, Elias said.
"When we see them [advertisements] as
reflections of reality, we miss how women
and different races appear subordinate," Elias said.
She used advertisements from Vogue
magazine to support her argument.
In the first set of pictures presented, Elias
commented on the predominantly sexist
role of women in advertisements.
"Women in advertisements are pictured as
dumb, disembodied and fragmented, and in

violent, disturbing images, " Elias said.
She held up an advertisement of a series
of women's mouths—"rampaging mouths."
She asserted it is not the women who are
important but their mouths. She was emphasizing a disembodied or fragmented
("not attached to a human woman") use of
women in advertisements.
Elias went on to discuss women used as
"prostitutes." She cited there are certain
things that suggest a "prostitute" in a photo,
including a model's stance, her boots, and
fishnet stockings.
She commented on how images such as
these lead to a double standard and said
that "women who are freely sexually active
are seen as whores," as opposed to men
who are sexually active.
However, she did not agree with the images portrayed. It is female bodies that are
being sold in these advertisements and
not the products, Elias said.
All of the images represent part of a
backlash aimed toward current feminists.
Elias believes the backlash is aimed toward the perception of feminists as being
prudish, self-righteous women who take it
upon themselves to police images.
Freshman Jessica Stull did not think the

needs of student clubs, he said.
It was at that time that the PUB
expansion fee was being discussed, and
the SCC may have been afraid of raising
the activity fee, Keenan said.
The SCC is unable to cover the same
services at the 1985 activity fee rate, and
he knows of no other service
organization that is still operating at a
1985 rate.
Keenan is hopeful that the increase, if it
is passed by the senate, would meet the
needs of students. He introduced the bill
to the senate at Wednesday night's SCC
meeting. At the next SCC meeting on
March 16, the senate will probably vote
on the bill.
The bill has been going over well with
the SCC committees, the University
trustees, and administration, but Keenan
is still concerned that a small group of
students will not approve of the increase
in the activity fee.

The Student Cooperative Council (SCC)
approved a bill at its meeting Wednesday
night that will give full-time SCC employees
the opportunity to take classes for college
credit and be reimbursed for the classes by
the SCC.
Under the Employee Supplemental Credit
Training Act, the amount for which an employee would be reimbursed would depend
on the grade he or she received in the class.
For example, if the person received an "A"
in the class, he or she would be fully reimbursed for the class. A "B" letter grade
would result in an 80% reimbursement, and
a "C" would result in a reimbursement of
60%.
The employees would not necessarily

comment on feminists as prudes was an
appropriate evaluation.
"I don't think I agree with the point of
feminist women as prudes," Stull said. "I
think that young, vibrant women are a pmrt
of the feminist movement and I think
society knows that. "
The duration of the program focused on
the role of African-American women in
advertisements and the role plastic surgery
plays in society.
Elias believes many advertisements
portray
African-American women as
commodities and servants to the privileged
whites. She said these photos contain
images that lead to the construction of
negative ideologies.
Lastly, Elias discussed various forms of
plastic surgery and their affects on women.
She proposed a hypothetical question to
the audience, "When women are falling
prey to the beauty myth by having
surgeries to change themselves, can we still
say we are impervious to advertisements?"
Elias emphasized that woman are readily
"changing their bodies instead of the world
out there."
The body has become
something that can be "constructed and put
on."
In case of bad weather, off campus
students should call
893-2600 to find out about
possible class cancellations.
SCC President David Keenan said. However, the classes must be taken at a nationally
accredited institution.
The SCC will get the money needed to
pay for these classes through its revenue
producing areas, such as the bookstore and
the Eagle Wing Snack Bar, Keenan said.
Keenan also mentioned giving full-time
SCC employees health benefits.
In other business, the SCC amended its
policy and procedure for the derecognition
of a SCC recognized club or organization.
The policy was amended so that a SCC recognized club or organization may be derecognized if it discriminates on prospective
or present members based on sexual orientation.
Keenan introduced the Activity Fee Enhancement Act, which would raise the current activity fee by a total of 18% over the
next three years, to the senate. The act will
be discussed at the next SCC meeting on

to "the boot"
(INDIANA) - With the introduction of a
new hand-held computer system by campus p)olice, more and more parking violators and non-permit vehicles are getting
"the boot."
A boot is a wheel-locking device used
for in-place impoundment of vehicles.
When a parking violation is entered into
the computer it will immediately inform
officers of people with outstanding viola
tions.
As noted in the parking regulations, vehicles with five or more tickets will be
booted.
William Montgomery, director of public
safety, stressed that vehicles without permits which have received 10 or more
tickets during a permit year (Sept. 1 -Aug.
31) for failure to have a permit will be
booted or towed, regardless of whether or
not the ticket violations have been paid.
There is a $25 fee for people who are
booted in addition to the outstanding ticket violations that must be paid before a
vehicle is released.

Jon Paul DeFoor, of Ringgold, Pa. has

both second degree misdemeanors; criminal trespass, a third degree misdemeanor; harassment, a summary offense; and
disorderly conduct, also a summary offense.
The victim, a 22-year-old student at
Clarion University, testified at the preliminary hearing before District Justice
Norman Heasley on Dec. 7. According to
her testimony, she had never dated DeFoor, but had known him.
During her testimony, the victim said
DeFoor allegedly attempted to kiss her
several times once they were inside her

the attempts.
The defendant wanted to know why she

repeatedly picked her up and dropped her
on the bed several times while in the
room.
The victim left the room and went to
the bathroom.
The victim returned to her room and
upon entering, she noticed DeFoor was

According to testimony, the defendant
allegedly attempted to force the victim to
perform a manual sex act. DeFoor decided to leave, but called the victim derogatory terms before exiting the room.

Rollerbladers and skateboarders will
soon be taking caution, as the city ordinance regulating rollerskating, sledding,
rollerblading, skateboarding, and coasting
is increasingly enforced both on campus
and in town.
The city ordinance prohibits the use of
any public highway or alley in the city for
the purpose of sledding, coasting, skateboarding, or rollerskating, except in designated play highways.
Also, it is prohibited to coast or ride upon
any sled, skateboard, rollerskates or similar
devices on the sidewalks of University
property or on the designated business and
residential areas.
The use of skateboards and rollerskates
is permitted in designated areas, providing
the operator yields the right-of-way to pedestrians.
This winter's snow and ice pile-up has
contributed to the problem by driving joggers from the covered sidewalks to the
streets, said Lock Haven Police Chief
Charles Shoemaker.
Jogging is not prohibited, but it must be
confined to the sidewalks, said Shoemaker. "Joggers pose a hazard in the street,"
he said.
Recent incidents between joggers and
drivers have made an increase of enforcement necessary, said Lieutenant Dennis
Grenninger of Law Enforcement. The police officers do not want to arrest students.
said.
Enforcement action is up to the discretion
of each officer, said Shoemaker. "They
may cite offenders immediately, or warn
them first," he said. "Some of the officers
have been issuing warnings."
No pedestrians have been killed in 14
years because of these regulations, said
Shoemaker.
As soon as the construction of the levee
is completed, a jogging path will be created there for walking and jogging, said
Shoemaker. "Our intent with the levee path
is to get joggers off the streets," he said.
"We certainly want the students to know
that we are enforcing this, not in a harassing nature, but to protect those who utilize
the sidewalks," Shoemaker said.
"It is a city ordinance, but we are in the
city of Lock Haven, so it does apply
here," said Richard Hepner, director of
law enforcement.
There is a question raised about whether

when the weather is bad, according to
Koch.
Due to this year's unusual winter weather, the University is considering developing what would be a compressed schedule.
The idea was never considered prior to
this winter because the University never
closed due to storms, according to Koch.
Under a compressed schedule, the University would Of)erate similarly to the way
it does on Fall Convocation Day. Classes
would start later in the morning and be
shortened by a certain number of minutes,
said Koch.
The compressed schedule would still be
counted as a full day and students would
not lose classes, said Koch.
A compressed schedule would answer
questions about make-up days and meeting times, because classes would still be
held. Maintenance would also have more
time to make it easier for people to get
around campus, she said.

Opinion - Editorial

Raising the activity
fee makes "cents" Sexuality should not be a social taboo
Students should listen to all the
arguments before they start complaining
Your activity fee may go from $60 to $70 in three
years if certain members of the SCC get their way.
But before you start protesting, listen to the reason
why.
There are now 60 clubs on campus, each of which
is demanding funding from an increasingly shrinking
pot. The 18 percent increase, spread out over three
years, would generate an additional $60,000 a year
for the SCC (based on a stable enrollment of 3,400
students). But that's not just more money for the
SCC ~ that's more money for you, and your clubs,
as well.
Yes, there may be other ways to find the money to
increase club funding ~ there always are ~ but consider this: the student activity fee hasn't been raised
since 1984. Granted, there are more students here
now that 10 years ago, but there are also more clubs,
and more hands hungry for their piece of the pie.
And the SCC's pie isn't that big when you compare it to the other state schools ~ only Millersville
has a lower activity fee. And it won't be getting that
much bigger either ~ SCC President Dave Keenan
believes that Lock Haven will still have one of the
lowest activity fees in the state system, even after the
increase. That's because most of the other state
school student governments are planning 20 to 30
percent increases.
No one likes to pay more to go to school, but this
is one increase that will actually help the students.
So please, before you begin protesting the increase,
listen to the reasoning behind it. You might just
agree with it.

Many will visit Scotland in the fall,,.
Students given opportunity to see the world
by Vince Miller
Eagle Eye News Reporter
Would you want to go to Scotland if you
had the chance? That is one question asked
by many students in the foreign exchange
program at the University .
The interest to go to Scotland is present
among people, but there are many choices
of countries for students to pick from, said
John Johnston, dean of nternational studies.
At the most, ten students from the University go to Scotland each year, compared
to 30 to 40 foreign students who want to
come to the University, which makes a
problem for an even exchange.
However, the rumors can be laid to rest
about the exchange program with Scotland
coming to an end; the status of the exchange
is good.
"There will be many going in the fall,"
Johnston said. The Scotland exchange has
been in operation for about five or six
years.
David Keenan, Student Cooperative
Council (SCC) President, is friends with
Campbell Murdoch from Glasgow, Scot-
land, who was previously an exchange student at the University.
On November 4, 1993, they signed the
Glasgow-Lock Haven Pact. Article II of
the pact explains that the student unions of
both institutions will strive to uphold the
educational exchange between Glasgow
Caledonian University and Lock Haven
University.
Tim Burdick went to Scotland at Glasgow
Caledonian University in the fall of 1992.
He visited Scotland and other European
countries.
It's a different type of social atmosphere,
and you get a new persfiective on global issues by going to other countries, according
to Burdick.
"It puts you in a different dialect of English, but yet it's like learning a foreign language," Burdick said. He also mentions that
European cities are more of a melting pot.
Hopefully students at the University will
see that they are provided with the opportunity to see what else is out there in the
world and will take advantage of it.
Posters outside tlie international office offer views of some other countries students can visit through the exchange program (photo by Darrell Bressler).

A new corresponding secretary was appointed during the last Student Cooperative Council (SCC) meeting held on Feb.9.
Keith Balliet, a former SCC Senator, assumed the responsibilities of Ann-Marie Mazzeo,
who resigned as corresponding secretary last December.
Mazzeo could not continue as secretary because she is student teaching near Philadelphia
this semester.
Balliet resigned as senator to become the new corresponding secretary. As a former senator, Balliet sat on the public relations committee and the social committee.
Balliet said he sees this move as a positive one. He hopes to perform the job well and
stay on top of the situation.
The responsibilities of the corresponding secretary involve keeping the SCC in touch
with University administrators and the other State System of Higher Education (SSHE)
schools. Balliet engaged in his first task as the new corresponding secretary by sending
out information concerning this past week's senate meeting.

Being black on a
by Joyce Duriga
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Of the approximately 3,500
students on Lock Haven's campus,
about 70 are African American
students. Being that there is such a
large gap between these numbers,
the Eagle Eye wondered what is was
like being one of these 70 students
and whether or not they are treated
differently because of their minority
status.
Four different African American
students from different backgrounds
with different
interests were
interviewed.
The four students
interviewed for this article were
Anna
Smith, Andre
Brown,
Charmaine Benson and David
Keenan.
All four students agreed that they
feel like black students on a white
campus, rather than regular students
at a college campus. "You are made
to feel that there is a difference," said
Brown, a junior sociology major.
Each student also agreed that this campus has a
racism problem, but it is not an overt problem.

Symphonic
band to perform
Winter Concert
by Dion Westbrook
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Under the direction of Jack Schmidt, the
annual Symphonic Band Winter Concert
will be held March 3 at 8 p.m. in the Price
Performance Center.
The 48-member band will play pieces that
date from 1780 to the present day. This
concert is one of two performances that will
be held this semester. The Symphonic
Band will perform the President's Concert
on May 1 in Price Performance Center.
The Symphonic Band Winter Concert is
open to the community and is free of

campus
said he has never personally experienced racism on campus but believes there is still a
problem. He said "...there is a small segment of people on campus that are still racist and
they have become progressively worse while the rest of the campus has become
progressively better."
A possible solution to this problem is to bring more black
students to Lock Haven University. Right now, the
majority of the black students who come to this campus are
here because of athletics. Both Brown and Keenan said that
more black students need to be recruited for academics so
black students will no longer be associated only with
athletics.
Benson, a junior elementary education major from
Pittsburgh, said in order to get more black students to come
to this campus "the administration needs to retain the ones
they already have." The current trend at LHU is many
minority students transfer out before their senior year.
Smith, a resident of Lock Haven and a senior psychology
major, said that it is important to have black students on
campus in order to "teach other students about diversity."
A point of concern to these students is that there is not
enough education made available to white students about
African American history or African American people in
general.
Another idea that the majority of these students agreed
upon is that they often feel like "token" students in class.
Most often, they are the only black students in their classes
and the teachers will call on them and expect them to know
everything about African American history or to voice the
opinion of their entire race. I came here to be taught, I shouldn't have to teach teacliers,"
Benson said.
Many white students often comment on how the black students at Lock Haven seem to
socialize only with each other - especially in Bentley Dining Hall. In response to this
statement Smith said, "We want to be with people who are like us ... we all know what it is
like to be minorities on campus." Keenan, however, said the African American students
being together all of the time is a problem but doesn't know who should break it. "As long
as the two groups stay separate, there is no chance for understanding," he said.
A speculated reason for awkwardness between the two groups on campus is that many
Lock Haven students come from rural areas where they are not exposed to students of
diverse cultures. Keenan believes that this situation is improving with the growing number
of students coming from metropolitan areas.
All of the students agree that there needs to be communication between white and black
students for improved relations.

The first track is "Another Worldly

For those of you who remember the old

before using various songs off the most
recent Pantera album, the music was by
New York's Prong. Prong is back once again
with their fifth album Cleansing

Records).
Prong is one of the bands that came out of
the big scene at the famous New York rock
club CBGB's. In fact, one of the members
of Prong worked there when the scene
started to bloom. The different styles of
music that came from this scene have
influenced their unique sound, and is even

Liberals attempt to rewrite history
Conservative
Column
by
Mike
Pulsifer
The thing liberals seem to love to do the
most is to try to rewrite history. I'm speaking specifically about the 1980s. They love
to tell us how the '80s was the decade of
greed and economic decline — all in the attempt to justify their massive government
programs.
Fortunately, some of us are interested in
telling the truth. To this end, I did a little
research and found the truth ~ evidence that
the '80s was not the decade of greed or economic decline.
First of all, the American economy prospered in the '80s. American families saw
their median income rise (in constant 1990
dollars) from $32,190 in 1981 to $36,062 in
1989. That's a 12 percent increase. In addition, the median household income rose
from $27,425 in 1981 to $30,468 in 1989.
That's an 11 percent increase. The dis[)Osable personal income, in constant 1987
dollars, saw a per capita increase of 19 percent. The same was true for (per capita)
personal income.
Second, compensation for employees rose
If you don't vote,
don't complain
Are you registered to vote? Do you vote
in local, state and federal elections? Do
you participate in politics? If you said yes
to any of these questions then you are the
declining simple majority. I say simple
majority because in the last presidential
election only 55 percent of the total population in this country voted.
If you think 55 percent is terrible, you
have not seen the figures for the presidential elections of 1988 and 1984, which
were 53 percent and 50 percent. Presidential election years have the highest
turnout. State and local elections have a
significantly lower turnout.
This country was built upon the ideology
of democracy: "one man, one vote." The
framers of the Constitution thought that if
the people elected their representatives
then the government would be just. This
was based on the principle that since the
representatives would have to please their
constituents they would act in a just way,
by doing what was best for their constituents. If not they did not follow through,
the representatives would not have a
chance of being re-elected.
The problem with this ideology is that
almost half of the total population does
not vote, and out of the half that does
vote, many of them represent some form
of interest group, such as the National
Rifle Association, Pro-Choice and ProLife advocates, and the environmental
groups.
You ask, "what is the problem with
that?" The government becomes corrupt
by all of these interest groups and lobbyists who influence prospective and in
cumbent politicians. These groups prom
ise their support to get the politician
elected in return for the politician's
promises to back legislation the group
wants.
The result of this current system is peo
pie complain that the politicians ignore
them and only focus on the interest groups
What else do the people expect? I mean
get real. If a person whats to get elected to
office is he going to please those who do
not vote or those who do?
People say to me that they do not vote
because they don't think their vote matters.
I ask them, would they prefer a dictator or
communism where they have no vote?
They always answer "NO!" But when 1
ask them why they do not vote, they do not
know what to say.
1 say it's better to vote than to not vote
because at least when I vote I know that I
am trying to make a difference, rather than
just complaining about the problems of
government and society.
Some people tell me that the reason why
they do not vote is because they do not
know anything about the candidates and
cannot make an informed decision. The
only answer I have to that is they should
learn about their politicians. It is not that
hard. All one has to do is pick up a news
paper, watch television, ask a friend or
possibly even join an organization.
If the percentage of people who vote
keeps declining, this nation will no longer
be built upon the notion that majority rules
because it will be the minority who will be
ruling and making decisions for the whole
society. And if anything goes wrong (and
you do not vote), then you can only blame
yourself

years earlier), the ECI for civilian employees rose 23.3 percent. For employees
of private industry, the ECI increased 21.8
percent while a 30.2 percent increase was
witnessed by state and local government
employees. This all can be compared to the
change of 19.3 percent in the Consumer
Price Index over the same time period.
Clearly, this does not seem indicative of
a "decade of greed." Employers spent more
on their employees over the years than was
necessary to compensate for the cost of living increases.
Next, I would like to address unemployment. Over Reagan's presidential
terms, unemployment fell. It went up only
once, and that was between 1982 and 1983.
In 1981, the unemployment rate, as a percent
of the labor force, was 7.5 percent. In 1989,
it was 5.2 percent. After that brief increase
between '82 and '83, the unemployment rate
stayed below the 1981 figure.
"The rich got rich and the poor got poorer." Do you remember that statement?
Erase it from your memory. It's a lie. In
1981, the percentage of people below the
poverty level was 14 percent. For families,
it was 11.2 percent. In 1989, only 12.8 percent of all people were below the poverty
level, while l0.3 percent of all families were
in the same predicament. In addition, in
1981, 19.3 percent of all people were at or
below 12.5 percent of the poverty'level,
while only 17.3 percent were in 1989.
Families saw a decline from 15.7 percent to
14.0 percent. Doesn't look like the poor got
poorer to me.
That lie I quoted above can also be debunked by taking a look at the effective tax
rates. The U.S. Treasury data grouped the
income levels as follows: $5,000, $10,000,
$20,000, $25,000, $35,000, $50,000, and
$75,000. In 1980, the effective tax rates
were negative 10.0, negative 5.4, 7.5, 9.9,
13.6,18.7, and 24.9 percent, respectively.
In 1988, Reagan's last budget year, the tax
rates were negative 14.0, negative 8.6, 5.4,
7.3,9.5,13.1, and 17.1 percent, respectively.
EVERYONE saw their tax rates go down,
and NOT just the rich, as the liberals keep
trying to tell us.
By the way, federal receipts from income
taxes rose after cutting taxes ($517.1 billion
in 1980 to $990.7 billion in 1989).
Lastly, I would like to dismiss the myth
that defense spending increased in the 1980s
at the expense of social spending. As a
matter of fact, human resources (Social Security, Income Security, Medical Care,
Health, Education and Veteran's Benefits)
saw an increase greater than that for defense
($206.6 billion versus $146.0 billion). More
money was spent on human resources than
on defense ($568.7 billion versus $303.6
billion).
If you aren't convinced that what I am
telling you is the truth, go to the library and
find 1992 Statistical Abstracts of the United
States in the reference section. That was
my source.
Reading clinic provides
experience, help
by Chris Spancake
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Thirteen Lock Haven University students
will be running a free reading clinic for
elementary school children.
Dr. Susan Robbins' Practicum in the
Diagnose in
Remediation of Reading
Difficulties class will be involved.
"This is a good hands-on experience for the
Lock Haven student," said Robbins, a
foundations studies professor. "They get to
apply the skills that they have learned in
class."
The elementary school children are mainly
from the area of Lock Haven, although some
of the professors at the University have
enrolled their children. The clinic is for
children in first through sixth grades. The
clinic will be very individualized, focusing
and improving upon problem areas for each
child.
The clinic will be held in Robinson Hall
every Tuesday and Thursday evening for one
hour. For other activities, students will meet
in the library and gyms.
The reading clinic is open to the public
although it is currently full. Children can be
put on the waiting list by calling Robbins at
893-2240. Her line is also open to any
questions concerning the clinic.

Five school records were broken at the
PSAC Championships last week at Indiana
University of Pennsylvania by the women's
swim team.
For the second year in a row, Stacie
Schultz was the highest finisher for Lock
Haven University. She finished ninth in
one-meter diving. The junior just missed
qualifying for finals. Coach Tom Justice felt
that it was, "difficult to get edged out of a
championship based on a subjective
evaluation."
Justice later stated it was the highlight of
Thursday for Lock Haven at the meet. The
down side is that it may be the last time
Schultz dives in the PSACs because they are
dropping diving from the conference.
Also Thursday morning, Beth Lloyd
qualified for the finals in the 500-yard
freestyle with a time of 5:25.00. It was one
second off her personal best. She ended up
placing tenth overall in the 500-yard
freestyle.
The 800-yard free.style relay was next for
the swimmers from Lock Haven. The four
swimmers representing the Bald Eagles
were Carla Ford, Jen Tomel, Meg Wetterau,
and Lloyd. The team swam a 8:39.97 which
did not qualify them for the finals, but did
break a school record.
Friday was a record-breaking day for Lock
Haven.
First, Tomel competed in the
100-yard back.stroke. She swam her best
time of the season, but it was not enough to
qualify for the finals.
Lloyd swam the 200-yard freestyle in the
morning. She broke the old school record
Baseball
Swimming
and qualified for finals. It was her fastest
time of her college career. In the finals, she
bested the mark she set earlier in the day and
holds the school record for the 200-yard
freestyle with a time of 2:00.39. The
100-yard butterfly was an event that Lloyd
also competed in on Friday. She swam to a
school record time of 1:01.94, barely
missing the finals. A 13th place finish was
all she could muster.
At night, the 200-yard freestyle relay
broke Lock Haven's school record, too. The
team of Ford, Tomel, Wetterau, and Lloyd
swam a time of 1:46.57.
On the final day of the championships,
Lloyd again set another school record. She
qualified for finals with a time of 55.97 in
the 100-yard freestyle. In the finals, she
swam a 55.93 which topped her record by
four-hundredths of a second.
Finally, the 400-yard freestyle relay
record tumbled when the team beat the time
by more than three seconds. Justice said
that there was more team spirit on the relay
team than they had the whole year as a team.
He said that Mary Ann Maetozo did a great
job as diving coach, especially working
with Stacie.
She also helped with the
swimmers at the meet.
When asked what the team needs to do to
improve for next year. Justice had two
replies. One was that the swimmers here
now have to continue to work hard and must
improve. Secondly, Lock Haven must
recruit more swimmers.

Ever wonder what it would be like to go
head-to-head with an American Gladiator,
like Tower, Laser, Saber, Viper, or Nitro?
Well, just ask Frank Conches a 22 year-old
junior here at Lock Haven from Mount
Carmel , PA .
It all started in August of '92 when he and
some of his friends were at a local mall and
jokingly signed up for American Gladiators
try-outs. "We laughed at it," said Frank.
"Who would ever think one of us would
ever be on the show?"
In November, Frank received a brochure
and a letter inviting him to the try-outs at
the Spectrum in Philadelphia. He didn't
know what to expect, "1 only watched it on
TV a few times."
The try-outs turned out to be a type of
physical fitness test and elimination"
process., if you didn't do X number of
push-ups in a minute, or X number of
sit-ups, you were sent home. In addition to
these Frank also was tested with pull-ups,
a 40-yard dash, a shuttle run, and a
Powerball test. Out of 575 people who
tried out, only 50 were left at the end of the
trials. Of those 50, only three would be
selected to appear on the show. "I really
didn't think I had a chance."
It was January of '93 when he received
the phone call, letter and plane ticket that
invited him out to Universal Studios in
California to compete on The American
Gladiators. Frank, who was 21 at the time,
was going to be the youngest competitor to
Sports Feature
be on the show, "It was like a dream...just to
be on TV."
He competed against a fellow competitor
and the Gladiators in a variety of events
including Breakthrough and Conquer, the
Astrosphere, the Human Cannonball, the
Joust, Hang Tough, Powerball, the Wall,
Swing-shot, and the Eliminator. "Powerball
was one of my favorite events," said Frank.
"It wasn't too bad."
Frank won and competed two more times
with the same results. He was invited to the
finals only to be forced to sit out with a back
injury. "They said that 's it," according to
Frank. "If you want to come back you have
to try-out."
Despite having to go through the try-outs
a second time, Frank is going to try it again.
"I'm healthy now and who knows, I may be
able to try again this summer."

Grapplers prepare to feast on Huskies

Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The proud Bald Eagles of last week
seemed to have taken a swoop into a ravine
last weekend when they traveled to Clarion
to take on the new PSAC champions. They
took quite a beating. Clarion University
routed the LHU squad by a score of 36-6.
After a steadfast bout with Penn State two
weeks ago, they traveled to Clarion to do
battle once again and were helplessly denied
any respect from the tough Golden Eagles.
Tired is the Eagle? Not really. Clarion has
prepared a team this year that may just
surmount that of Penn State.
Wrestling
Two wrestlers, however, did manage to
defeat their opponents. Junior 158-pounder
Scott Goodale beat Tyrone Brown by a score
of 6-2.
Goodale posts the team's best record at
31-8. He is currently third in the overall
PSAC rankings, which contains a total of 11
teams.
The team's other victory came from
redshirt
freshman Mike Guerin, 177pounds. He defeated sixth-ranked Dan
Payne by a convincing score of 5-2. In the
match Payne was unable to take Guerin
down.
The plot would have thickened if everyone
had known that they were former teammates.
Guerin is a transfer student from Clarion
University. While there last year, he spent
the season as a redshirt. Guerin said that he
did work out with Payne in practice quite
often.
Geurin made a statement about his
practicing with Payne saying, "I honestly
don't recall scoring a single point on him
(Payne) all season last year."
Guerin posts a 14-8 record this year and
although it doesn't demand "mega" status, he
has demanded status with his intensity and
demeanor on the mat.
He has had some close losses to some
highly touted opponents. One of those
losses was a narrow one-point margin to
second-ranked
Dean Morrison of West
Virginia University.
Guerin has nailed a landmark victory over
a
top-ten wrestler and has established
himself as a threat to all he encounters on the
mat.
The team
travels
to
Bloomsburg
University tonight for their last dual meet of
the season. The team will then begin to
prepare for the Eastern Wrestling League
(EWL) tournament which they will host on
March 5-6. The tourney is the qualifier for
the NCAA Division I Championships which
will be held in Chapel Hill, North Carolina
on March 17-19.

When LHU's men's Basketball team went
into California of Pa. last Saturday they
were looking to finish up a tough season on
an up note by doing well against their last
three opponents, all of whom are nationally
ranked.
The last time LHU met the Vulcans of CU
they were edged 83-75. The Eagles were led
by Mike Shue, who checked in with 34
points.
Saturday, Shue again led the Eagles with
his 21 pts. but was the only Eagle in double
figures.
Unlike in their meeting LHU
seemed overmatched.
Cal's defense
smothered the Eagles and held them to just
34% shooting in the first half compared to
Cal.'s 62% clip.
The Vulcans took a commanding 46-27
lead at the break. Lock Haven continued to
struggle in the second half After Harold
Tyson, Victor Watkins and Chad McKinney
Men's Basketball
fouled out. Coach Dave Blank was left with
only six players. CU rolled to a 101-59
victory.
As the second ranked Indians of lUP came
into the Thomas Field House on Wednesday
night it was the Eagles last home game of the
season and the last of seniors Harold Tyson
and Victor Watkins' careers.
The Indians showed no thanks by jumping
out to a quick 21-4 lead in the first eight
minutes of the game. lUP forced LHU into
14 first-half turnovers and a 54-30 score.
LHU was unable to overcome the early run
of the Indians as they lost 93-75.
Two bright spots for the Eagles were the
performances of Tyson and Watkins. This
was to be the seniors' finale at the field house
and they at least did not disappoint.
Tyson went out on an impressive game
with a double-double, 17 pts. and 14
rebounds. Watkins led the Eagles with 20
pts on 10-16 shooting from the floor.

Indoor Track
The indoor track team showed no signs of
intimidation as they faced some tough
Division I, III, and Canadian competition at
Cornell's Robert Kane Invitational last
Saturday.
Head Coach Mark Elliston said, "It was
our toughest meet so far, but our athletes'
performances were pretty good. Everyone
looks as though they are starting to actually
'race' in their respective events instead of
trying to 'survive' them."
The women's relay team finished in
second place with an overall time of 13:37.
Amy Yarger led the charge with a 2:34
800- meter split, followed by Shelle Roush
who ran her 400 meters in 66 seconds.
Kristen Wolfe ran the 1200-meter third leg
in 4:09, and Brenda Trimble's 5:46 1500
meters topped off their stellar performance.
