s e e senate full for first time in years
by Cyntliia Graham and Amy
Satlcofsky
Eagle Eye News Editors
The Student Cooperative Council
(SCC) inaugurated 11 new senators at their
first meeting of the semester, making the
senate full for the first time in six years.
SCC Vice President Pat Pierre swore in
the 11 new senators at Wednesday
evening's meeting. The newly inaugurated
senators combined with the existing senators from last semester brings the total of
senators to 32.
According to SCC President Larry
Flint, there are 16 on-campus senators to
represent on-campus constituents and 16
off-campus senators to represent off-campus constituents.
The Senate is set up to have one senator
for every 100 students, with each residence
hall having two senators, with the exception of McEntire Hall. McEntire Hall houses four senators due to the number of residents in the hall.
Both Flint and Pierre expressed a positive attitude about the size and potential of
the spring 1996 senate. Pierre further commented, "As a member of a full senate for
the first time in years, I'm really excited for

all of us."
Following the inauguration, Pierre
handed the gavel over to newly-elected
Speaker of the senate, Amanda Mulfinger.
Mulfinger held the fKJsition last semester
before withdrawing from school for personal reasons. She was re-elected into the position on Wednesday.
Also re-elected into a position she held
last semester was Maria Gregariou as
Secretary of the senate.
Throughout the meeting, SCC officers
discussed implementing various new programs.
Among the many programs in the planning stage is Adopt-A-Haven, a program
where student clubs and organizations will
be able to adopt a part of campus grounds
and oversee its up-keep.
According to Kelly Yeagle, SCC treasurer, the program will be modeled after
Pennsylvania's Adopt-a-Highway program.
A committee is being formed to research
the implementation process.
A committee is also being developed to
prepare next year's student activities fee
rate. Senate members will be working with
Yeagle on the fee rates.
In addition to that, Yeagle said that club
and organization budgets are due on Feb.

SCC President Larry Flint addressed tlie senate members at their first
meeting of the semester.
28, and encourages all organizations to turn
in their budgets to the SCC office as soon as
possible. She said that organization representatives who did not attend the first budget meeting on Monday can come into the
office and pick up budgeting papers.

Free AIDS testing for University students
by Kim Kupek
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
Free AIDS testing will be offered in the
Residence Hall Association rooms and in
the Wellness Center in Woolridge Hall on
Wednesday, Feb. 12, from 10 a.m. to 2:45
p.m..
According to Nancy Panko, a registered
nurse at Glennon Infirmary, the AIDS test
consists of drawing an individual's blood
and sending the sample to a lab to be tested.
The test will be administered by registered
nurses from the Pennsylvania Department
of Health.
"The AIDS test is confidential. No
names are used. You are given an ID num-

ber and an appointment to return Feb. 26 to
receive your results," said Panko.
According to recent reports from the
Center for Disease Control (CDC), one in
every 300 people bvpr the age of 13 is HIV
positive. In the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, over 17,000 cases of AIDS
were reported since 1980. The CDC also
reported that nearly 550,000 p>eople in the
United States have been diagnosed with
this disease as of June 1996.
In addition, the CDC stated that the
fastest growing group of those who have
been diagnosed with AIDS were infected
through heterosexual contact.
"On a college campus, alcohol is a
major factor with sexually-active students
contracting AIDS and other sexually trans-

mitted diseases. Because alcohol impairs
judgment [an individual under the influence
of alcohol] might engage in risky behaviors, including unprotected sex," cautioned
Panko.
"Anytime you have sex with someone
you don't know, you are having sex with
their partners and their partners' partners.
If you feel that you have been involved in
any risky behaviors, you should get tested,"
Panko said.
Appointments are encouraged, but
some walk-ins will be accepted. To make
an appointment, call Panko at x-2276 or x2277. If you are unable to schedule an
appointment for the Feb. 12 testing, the
Pennsylvania Department of Health provides testing at no charge. Call the

Department of Health at 893-2437 to
schedule an appointment.
Panko stressed that any student who
may be at risk for the HIV virus should be
tested at the convenient on-campus locations on February 12.

Health Science professor earns doctorate who got caught.
by Tara LoPresti
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
David Bower, a professor of health
sciences at the University, earned his
doctorate degree in health education
from Pennsylvania State University last
December.
Bower began his studies to obtain a
doctorate degree in January of 1991
while working at the University part
time. According to Bower, eaming this
degree is the most self-satisfying experience he has ever had.
Bower researched the relationship

between selected demographic attitude and
knowledge variables, and the likelihood of
health educators to discuss events involving
death with their students. His
research involved a random
sample of health educators
iin public schools throughout
Ithe Commonwealth
of
' Pennsylvania.
He chose this topic after
Iworking with public schools
'in Williamsport and seeing
the effects of death on the lives of students.
During his time teaching at public
schools, Bower realized that in today's
society it is not unusual to see students los-

University receives technology award
by Erin English
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
The University computing center
recently received an honorable mention
award from CAUSE, the association for
managing and using information resources
in higher education.
The computing center received recognition for various things, including its network that services both the main campus of
and the Clearfield campus. The network
has created greater efficiency in communications, research, instruction and information retrieval.
The University was also noted for its

:,.

network operation in the planning process,
administrative applications, effectiveness
surveys and involvement in local elementary and high schools.
Bob Little, director of the computing
center, represented the University at the
National CAUSE conference held in San
Francisco last December. In reference to
the award which was presented at the conference he said, "I am proud of the
University and of everyone who had a role
in creating our data network."
He added, "We [the University] could
not have done this without the strong support from University President Craig Dean
Willis and Vice President Dean Phelps."

due to violence and various other circumstances.
He believes that a teacher's role has
changed with the times stating, "We are not
only facilitators of knowledge, but we have
also become counselors and friends to our
students."
Due to this belief. Bower felt that his
research was exceptionally important.
"Learning is a process," stated Bower. It is
the challenge of figuring out how to achieve
the goals we have set for ourselves."
Bower's dream of becoming a teacher
began in the ninth grade. He says he has
been working to improve himself in the
field of education since then.
According to Bower, earning his doctorate is a big step in that direction.

Police Beat

Disorderly Conduct-- Feb. 3: An officer was requested to respond to a redience
hall where a former student was causing
problems. He failed to be properly signed
in and was escorted from the building by
two officers. Since that incident he was
banned from campus. This was not the first
time officers had an altercation with the
individual.
Drinking VloIation~Feb. 1: An individual in a residence hall was cited for a
minor drinking violation. The student was
found in one of the restrooms vomiting. He
was later brought to the Law Enforcement
building by an officer who responded to the
call. The individual was then given a citation.

Integrated Learning program begins
by Tim Boland
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
Volunteer Community service has
always been a large part of campus organizations at the University. Fraternities,
sororities, residence halls and various
University organizations have service projects each semester.
Now there is a way for students that are
not part of these organizations to lend a
helping hand in common service, and at
the same time receive college credit for
doing so. The program is called Integrated
Learning, it became part of the Lock
Haven University academic policy when
the administration approved the program in
the fall of 1996.
The program combines community service with academic work. In Interpersonal

and Leadership Skills, offered in the
Psychology Department, students < reate
and execute service programs. The pro
gram has many benefits, not only for the
community, but for the students as well.
According to Dr. James R. Bean, asso
ciate professor of psychology, "The goal is
to help all constituents synthesize their various leadership experiences and academic
tasks so that expiert knowledge of leader
ship is grounded in both real life issues and
in sound academics."
Many other courses on campus also
have field work or community projects
built into their curriculum. Interested students who want additional information on
the program, should ask advisors or chairpersons of the department they are interested in gaining credit for.
Bean is also available to answer any
questions.

Announcement
The Council of Trustees will meet in the Akeley Alumni Room on Thursday Feb. 13, at
4:15 p.m. All faculty, staff and students are welcome to attend.

AIDS quilt display at Ship
brings emotions to surface
SHIPPENSBURG - The somber atmosphere at the Ezra Lehman Memorial
Library, where the AIDS quilts were displayed last semester, was enough to make
any heart grieve in remembrance of those
who have passed away after having suffered through the HIV virus and full-blown
AIDS.
When seen, these quilts provoke-emotions felt deep within, even if the viewers
have never had to deal with suffering from
the virus or had to cope with losing someone they knew and loved as a result of
AIDS.
These quilts exhibit the date of birth
and death of the victims. Friends and family express their emotions on the quilts
through the use of poems, biblical references, flowers, memories and pictures that
are airbrushed or sewn onto the patch.
Senior Mike Kern expressed that he
was especially moved by the quilts, having
lost a cousin to the AIDS virus.
Kern remarked that he thought the
quilts "should be an eye-opener for students on the Shippensburg campus" and
that the display of these quilts "opens people's awareness to what AIDS is all about."

Deaf students denied
interpreters at BU
BLOOMSBURG - Several deaf students
at Bloomsburg University went through
classes without interpreters the first two
weeks of this semester.
According to Assistant Vice President
of Academic Affairs Tom Cooper, the
University complies to both the Americans
with Disabilities Act, Title two, and the
Rehabilitation Act of 1975, section 504,
with respect to support services offered to
deaf students on campus, providing reasonable access for all deaf students attending
the University.
Peter Walters, director of accomodative
services, was aware that theie was a problem covering all classes before the semester began.
According to Walters, all classes and
interpreter positions are now covered.

New MAC machine up and running
by Cynthia Graliam
Eagle Eye News Editor
The new MAC machine in the lobby of
Bentley Dining Hall, operated by the
Pennsylvania State Employees Credit
Union (PSECU), has been servicing students and faculty since the beginning of the
semester.
According to Dr. Dean Phelps, vice
president of finance and administration, the
new machine is a full service machine that
caters to both cash and deposit transactions.
Because of the drafty location of the
machine, a project will be done in the summer to correct the problem, according to
Phelps.
Phelps said the machine is free of
charge if withdrawal transactions are at a

minimum of $20. Anything less than that
amount will be given a small service
charge.
Phelps said as a result of any University
student and employee having an account
with PSECU, their family members and
friends are eligible to have accounts with
the Union even if they live in a different
state.
Phelps also said that there is computer
software available so customers can do their
banking at home on a personal computer.
"I would like to know from students
about problems they are having [with the
machine]," he said. He encourages students
to contact him at his E-mail address,
dphelps@eagle.lhup.edu, if they have any
questions and concerns regarding the
machine.

Do yourself a favor, get an AIDS test
This week I have something very serious to talk about. It is a very important
topic everywhere in the country and even in
the world.
Next week on Wednesday, Feb. 12,
'there will be free and confidential AIDS
tests offered to students, faculty and staff. I
feel this is a good opportunity for everyone
who is sexually active.
This service is offered by the
Pennsylvania Department of Health and
will be in the Residence Hall Association
(RHA) rooms and Wellness Center in
Woolridge Hall.
I think that AIDS is an epidemic that
will not go away unless we do something
about it (other than the people who are
working day and night to find a cure).
What I mean is that if you are sexually
active, you should get an AIDS test. By
doing this, you will know, and therefore
will either one, feel relieved and go on with
your life, protected of course, or two, know
so that you can follow the options available.
If you choose to stay sexually active, hopefully you will be better prepared with condoms.
This is not a nice subject to talk about
bluntly but I feel honesty is what it has
come down to.
This is not an article to scare everyone
and send them hiding in their closets never
to come out or have sex again. This is just
a reminder to inform everyone that there is
a risk out there no matter who you are in
love with.
AIDS can infect anyone and I know
from a personal experience.
A person I know just died of the AIDS
virus on Christmas Eve. Although it was a
shock to everyone in my immediate family,
(none of us knew this person was infected),
I now realize that anyone can get AIDS and
that I could get it too. I finally got my head
out of the clouds where I was saying, "I'll
never get AIDS, it will won't happen to
me." I will never say that phrase again. I
guess you don't fully realize something
until it hits too close to home.
People in my age group and younger
think they have this invisible shield that
protects them from diseases, death and
everything else.
I hate to disappoint anyone but there is

no magical invisible shield. We are all at
risk.
I used to always say, "I don't want to
know. It is way too scary to find out you
might die." Now I do want to know for
myself and for my family. I do not want to
put my family through the hell of not knowing I could be sick. I would rather know
now and then my family and I could deal
with all of the things that are needed to be
dealt with in this situation.
This is a disease that can kill anyone,
you, me, a best friend or a family member.
It does not base itself around one race, religion, creed or lifestyle. AIDS can be transmitted to all of us through sexual intercourse. I know that most people reading
this have been sexually active at one time
or another.
Everyday in almost every town people
are diagnosed with AIDS.
An AIDS test is especially important
now since it is no longer a major no-no to

have sex before marriage. Waiting is the
best solution but it doesn't happen that way
for most of us anymore.
This does not disqualify those of you
who have yet to be sexually active. In your
case, know the risks now, and when the
time comes that you decide to have sex, do
so with protection and be sure to get regular AIDS tests every year or so just in case.
The AIDS tests will be offered next
Wednesday from 10 a.m. until 2:45 p.m.
Anyone who wants to get a test should
make an appointment by calling Nancy
Panko at Glennon Infirmary at x2276 or
x2277.
Either way, do yourself and those who
love you a favor and get a free, confidential
AIDS test next week. It might be one of the
best decisions you ever make.

Opinion/Editorial
Columnist offers suggestions for general education classes
Here I sit at my computer terminal wondering what to write about. I know there is
a lot out there that is wrong and should be
pointed out, and I am the right person to do
it. I learned that being nice to jTeople just is
not worth it.
Last week I was very generous with my
article grading various organizations and
people on this campus. That was a first for
me and Tales because I am never nice in
this column (Just ask the football team).
After that article all I heard was complaints
about little things from a misspelled name,
(The co-cordinator of Haven Activities
Council is Mary O'Mara not Mara) to the
fact that I was wrong about some information. Well I sit here this week a new man
because Tales From the Hard Side has a
new motto, "No more Mr. Nice Guy". I
know you cannot please all the people all
the time so I am here to please two people,
the faithful readers and myself.
I also want to remind everyone that this
is an OPINION column, meaning this is
one person ranting and raving about something he feels strongly about. This is not
news because I am not stating facts. I am
voicing my opinion, which may or may not
be my readers' opinion. So with that, let the
trashing and attacking begin.
This week I have decided to talk about
the general education requirements (also
known as gen. eds.). These are the little
classes we are required to take to graduate.
These classes give everyone a basic background in all fields and makes them wellrounded students.
The question before us is: Should the
general education requirements be abolished or should some significant changes be
made in them?
Let me answer the first part of the question. I strongly believe that general education courses should remain a part of the
University curriculum. I am not saying it is
a perfect system but I am saying it is needed. It gives students a chance to learn a little more about other majors and disciplines.
It makes a better student out of us all and

gives us an edge in the job market. It also
provides a chance for students to check out
their options.
When I first came to this University I
was not a journalism major, but after one
journalism class I was hooked for life (I
know journalism is not a required gen. ed.
but I took it as an elective). This is why 1
believe that the general education requirements should stay, and that leads me to part
two of my question.
The general education courses need to
be changed. First I will start with the basic
requirements. I believe that instead of
requiring courses in specific fields, the University
should make the requirements a little more broad.
A good example of this is
the
Art/Music/Theater
requirement. We do not
have to take a class in
each, we just have to take six credits in any
two of these to make the gen. ed. requirement.
1 (personally took two upper-level music
history classes because 1 had an interest in
them. That is why, I believe, the University
should make four groups: l)Art/Music/
Theater (6 credits), 2)Natural science (9
credits) 3) Social Science (12 credits), 4)
Humanities (18 credits). That gives us a
grand total of 45 credits. This allows the
majors to expand and offer more instruction
(124 credits is needed to graduate, this system allows 79 credits to be used in the
major).
My system treats the student as a college student not a ninth grader who needs to
be told what classes to take. This also
allows students to take classes that interest
them. This, in return, will increase the QPA
of students because they are taking classes
they want to take, not what they have to
take.
This, of course, is just a suggestion to
the administration, but what 1 am trying to
say is that a change has to be made and it
has to be made soon.

Before you buy a computer read this
Before you run out and buy a brand new
computer with the 6X (six speed) CD-ROM
drive, thinking you're getting top-of-theline technology for your money, please read
the following for your own sake.
The drive of the 21st century is in production and on its way to your local computer retailer. It's called the digital versatile
disk-read only memory, or DVD-ROM for
those of us with shortness of breath.
The first DVD disks in production hold
4.7GB (Gigabytes) of data. That is roughly
the equivalent of seven CD-ROM saucers.
DVDs will be used for music, computers
and film with the capacity to hold over two
hours of full-motion video with excellent
quality and surround sound audio.
The movie industry has been a large
influence on the production of DVDs for its
obvious capabilities and versatility. Movies
on DVD disks will play on both your PC
and your television, making VCRs as obsolete as Beta tapes. The film industry has
already expressed concern over widespread
piracy, but new technology has made it possible to encrypt the disks, making them
immune to copying. Still, home movie
players are sure to be the first DVD devices

that you'll see on the shelves.
There will be no more multi-disk games
played on the CD-ROM because of limited
space. Game companies are sure to increase
the interactive media
content
their prod
ucts which will make
your virtual experience
become more real than
you ever imagined.
By the end of this
year, most VCR makers will have DVD
players
on
their
shelves. The disk
movies have a sharper
picture quality than tapes and they will
never degrade no matter how many times
you watch Star Wars. You'll also be able to
choose between a film's wide-screen version or the standard TV-size version that we
watch at home today.
While DVD disks are cheaper to manufacture, they are also more fragile and easier to scratch, making rental stores more
timid about DVDs. Another fallacy of the

new disk is its inability to record data, so
VCR's might keep one foot out of the grave
until the computer wizards find a way to
record on the disc (probably by the turn of
the century).
And just when
you
thought
DVDs couldn't
get any better, there has
been a new breakthrough
that will make CDs look as
big as those" old five-inch
floppy disks. Not only are
DVDs double-sided, but
they have two readable layers on each side. Sound
impossible?
Plainly explained, there is
a semitransparent gold layer on top of a
reflective silver layer. Using a lower power
beam, the laser can read the data from the
gold layer, and with an increase of power it
can access and read the silver layer. This
new ability will expand the disk's memory
to almost four times its previous capacity
with a total of 17GB of data on a disk the
same size as a CD. This is roughly enough
space for an eight hour movie.

CDs are scraping to stay alive in the
market with the new CD-RW (compact
disk-rewritable). This new format will provide full write and rewrite capabilities on
disks that any CD-ROM drive can read.
CD-RW recorders should start apper.ring in
the next few weeks.
DVDs will mirror that technology in the
coming months and will be called DVDRAM (DVD-random access memory).
The only problem in sight for the DVDROM will be finding disks to use. Creators
will not make many titles until there is a
large sale of the hardware. Conversely, consumers will not purchase the hardware until
there are enough titles to justify doing so.
But the manufacturers have thought of
everything and they will now make DVD
drives backward-compatible, which means
you will still be able to use your CDs with
the new drive.
Skeptics will need to take a backseat as
this new technology will drive us well into
the next millennium. Now the only question
is, how long will it be before Billy Gates
corners the market?
Any suggestions? E-mail the writer at

Art is truly a subjective experience and
unless you are eager to open your mind and
experience an intensive journey, the exhibit
at the Sloan Gallery is not for you.
The artist, Michael Fels, introduced his
own personalized journey through a slide
presentation and critique of his evolving
style. This contemporary artist combines
classical images and universal symbols to
exemplify his personal "search" and "spiritual" conflict. Fels su[>erimp)Oses images of
cruciforms, flowers and human torsos of
contrapposto onto each other to suggest a
struggle between idealized and intuitive
beauty; narcissistic and religious spirituality. His themes are rejjetitive but his compositions incorporate a style of classical richness and abstract idealization.
The medium predominant in this exhibit is the serigraph. However, Fels is versatile in printmaking, painting and sculpture.
His presentation was informative regarding
the various mediums, but his emphasis was
on the content of the message and not the
form.

Fels described his artistic journey as a
"cleansing" and his artwork as a "confessional" of his own "personal" agenda.
Symbolism is paramount to this exhibit and
consistent themes are apparent: Images of
Christ and the crucifix reflect a search for
religious truth. Narrative figures and selfportraits exemplify a narcissistic struggle.
The use of flowers transposed with female
forms suggests the conflict that arises
between beauty and temptation. A figure of
a dog symbolizes devotion and companionship and the seashell beckons a desire for
home. Fels frequently uses the image of a
tattoo to reflect the imbalance between
superficial beauty and inner beauty.
My initial aesthetic impression was confirmed by Fels' commentary; his style is
unique and his content is intense. He deals
astutely with questions and conflicts that
have plagued us all at one time or another'
(unless you are Beavis and Butthead). This
exhibit is definitely not for the intellectually
stagnant.

you know ihe movie is

special)

Screaming lasers. Gigantic spaceships.
Eardrum-shattering explosions. Betrayals.
Heroic feats of daring-do. Strange aliens.
Massive galactic war. All this just to get a
ticket.
You have all heard me ranting and raving about this for months now. I have
proven myself to be an avid Star Wars fan
andl am sure some of you are sick of hearing about it by now. However, 1 just can't
pass this up.
Last Friday, after twenty long years. Star
Wars app)eared again on the big screen. It is
a movie that has been designed to be a large
exjjerience. Tlie cinematography is large,
the sound is large and the characters are
large. So is the fan base.
If you haven't seen Star Wars on the big
screen, this is definitely an opportunity not
to be missed. I actually felt dizzy during the
final Death Star sequence. The theater we
saw it in left something to be desired with
the sound, but it really didn't matter. The

f)ower was still there.
There has been much talk of the new
footage that was added to the film, including the fabled Jabba the Hutt sequence. It
was all incredible. According to Star Wars
creator George Lucas, the things he was
able to do with this retooled version allowed
him to bring the movie closer to his original
vision. The space port of Mos Eisley was
beefed up beyond the original sleepy desert
town and now actually looks like a bustling
hive of villainy.
The old effect scenes were spectacular
but showed the limitations of 70's technology. Now the spaceships move faster,
dodge better and the Death Star is no longer
a cloud of sparks at the end. It is one mother of a huge fireball.
Some of the movie's hardcore fans have
said that the new footage is distracting and
takes away from the film. They are partially right. However, I saw it twice, and the
second time I was ready for the new shots
and scenes so I could concentrate more on
the film.
Twice? Is this guy nuts? Let me
explain. I spent most of last week compiling a list of p»eople who wanted tickets. The
idea was thatme and a small group of hand
picked specialists would drive to the theater
in advance and buy the tickets for those who
couldn't make it after classes. By Friday I
had a list of 24 names and somewhere in the
neighborhood of $130. After my morning
classes I departed with my crack squad of
commandos. On the way to the car we discovered, thanks to some remarkable foresight on the part of one of the party, that
there were matinee shows. We were supposed to buy tickets for the 7:00 show, and
we were looking at six hours of boredom.
After a brief (very brief) discussion, we said
"What the hey?" and decided that two backto-back sittings would be a splendid way to
kill a Friday afternoon.
I wouldn't recommend this sort of
marathon theater activity to everyone, but I
think it was worth it. I know Star Wars fairly well and it was somewhat distracting to
see new things jump out of the screen.
Seeing it once gave me a chance to get used
to the changes and the second time through
I really got into it.
Another bonus of going early was that
there weren't as many kids. All the parents
were still at work so we didn't have to
worry about ill-mannered children speeding
up and down the aisle. Poor parenting is not
a topic I'm going to get into right now, but
some people should just keep their kids at
home. Maybe someday I'll go off on it.
Star Wars has been called a phenomenom by more people than I can count, and I
really have to agree. With few exceptions,
everyone I talk to has seen the movie in

some form. Some people can even remember seeing it when it was first out. My first
memory of it was from the drive-in. I was
only three when it was first in theaters.
Star Wars has spawned more merchandise and mania than anything else out there.
It even rivals Star Trek in the volume of
fanatics and the amount of toys and trinkets.
Everyone out there grew up playing with
their Star Wars figures. Most us still have
them.
There was even a radio adaptation of all
three movies in the trilogy. The radio play
was produced by the radio station from the
University of Southern California after
Lucas donated the rights to them. Some of
the stars of the films can be heard lending
their vocal talents, including Mark Hammii
and Anthony Daniels.
It is simply amazing that a movie can be
rereleased after 20 years and gross something like $37 million in one weekend. I
saw Mark Hammii talking about the film on
Politically Incorrect and he said that one of
the reasons the film was so popular, and one
of the reasons that the movie is still so popular, is because it is simply a classic fairy
tale. The film has a princess, a pirate, a wizard, and a farm boy. All are classic elements
for a fairy tale.
George Lucas is nothing less than a
genius when it comes to marketing his
movies. When he completed and released
Return of the Jedi in 1983, he stated that it
would probably be 15 years until he made
the rest of the series. An entire generation
mourned. The fever started to fade throughout the 80's, even though there were a few
lame Ewok specials. Everyone had fond
memories of the films and a generation of
kids grew out of their action figures.
Seven years ago it started again. It was
a small thing at first, just a comic book
mini-series. Then there were the incredibly
popular books by Timothy Zahn. Everyone
began to remember Star Wars, and the
rumors' started flying. Wild s[)eculation
began on who would play Obi-Wan.
Phantom scripts appeared on the swiftly
growing Internet. And the old toys started
gaining some real value. If you had that
original Boba Fett with the missile that
popfjed out, you could rake in some cash.
The comic books kept coming and so did
the novels. Certain vague announcements
leaked out of the depths of Lucasfilms. It
soon became known that good old George
was going to rerelease the original film, in
celebration of the 20th anniversary. It also
became known that there would be extra
footage. Among the faithful, the hysteria
was building.
Lucas was presented with a remarkable
opportunity. His effects house, ILM, had
been making huge leaps and bounds in the

world of special effects. He had under his
control a group who could make iiis dazzling epic completely spectacular. So he did
it.
Within the last few years, Lucas finally
came out and quelled the speculation. He
announced that he was going to rerelease all
three of the originals, all with improved
effects and added footage. He also finally
announced what was goiiig on with the
much anticipated prequels. Before the end
of the millennium, we are finally going to
see a new Star Wars movie.
Lucas has written the stories for the new
trilogy and they have been handed over to
Frank Durabont, the writer and director of
The Shawshank Redemption, for the translation into screenplay form. So now we wait.
The mania is alive. While I was waiting
for the stragglers on Friday night I had the
opportunity to talk with a man who was
dressed head to toe in the uniform of an
Imperial AT-AT commander. He was telling
me about the live action conventions that he
and his friends would travel to. They apparently involved blaster battles that spread
through entire hotels. He was waiting for a
woman dressed as Princess Leia.
If you missed the magic the first time
around, go see it now. You will no' be disappointed. One of the multitude that went
on Friday was an unlucky fellow who had
never seen the movie before in any form. It
was a great feeling to know that he liked it,
even after all the badgering.
Star Wars is a film that shaped the imaginations of a generation and is now able to
provide joy to a whole new crowd. I have to
agree with the tag line on the movie poster.
Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and
Return of the Jedi are definitely the three
main reasons that theaters are built.' '

RezQor dazzles on Lynch movie soundtrad
by Chrjs Brown
Eagle Eye Features Reporter
Following the success of his first venture into the world of soundtracks with his
work-on the soundtrack for Natural Born
Killers, Trent Reznor now has the honor of
working with one of his self-described idols
of the film world on the soundtrack for the
film Lost Highway.
David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet,
Eraserhead) and Trent Reznor, two groundbreaking artists in their respective fields,
have come together to create this aural picture of what promises to be one of the best
films of the year.
Reznor, who coordinated the bulk of the
music, says in the February issue of Raygun
magazine that he is "not a big fan of soundtracks. . . if it's Mortal Kombat, pop songs
with no relevance to the movie, obviously I
want nothing to do with that. And David's
not about that either."
If Trent remains true to his word, we are
in for one hell of a ride down the Lost
Highway when it hits the big screen later
this month. On one hand, there are the typical instrumental tracks that one comes to
expect on a soundtrack. In tne past. Lynch
has gone with Angelo Badalamenti and here
he dips into Badalamenti's well of talent
once again. All of Badalamenti's tracks are
very representative of his work. They all
have that TVvm Peaks style in that they epitomize the word intoxicating without sacri-

ficing their jagged mischievous edge.
Heavy jazz and swing influences dart in and
out throughout the soundtrack between
Badalamenti's tracks and songs by Barry
Adamson.
In many ways Adamson's tracks have
more of a Twin Peaks edge than
Badalamenti's. When listening to the tracks
by these two wizards, one cannot help but
drift back to the ominous mood created by
Bernard Hermann in Alfred Hitchcock's
Psycho.
On the interesting cover front, Lou Reed
does an excellent cover of the song "This
Magic Moment," originally performed by
The Drifters. Reed electrifies the song with
a deep bass growl throughout while also
scattering some light "hillbilly" guitar riffs
which seem to dance around Reed's groovy
vocals. Meanwhile, Marilyn Manson adds
their cover of Screamin Jay Hawkins' "I Put
A Spell on You," which can also be found
on their album "Smells Like Children."
The most anticipated of any tracks on
the album perhaps are those done by
Reznor: "Eye" by Smashing Pumpkins and
"Apple of Sodom" by Marilyn Manson.
Reznor contributes three tracks to the
album, two under his own name and one by
Nine Inch Nails. "The Perfect Drug," which
most of the world has already heard in one
place or another, was a track put together by
Reznor and fellow band member Danny
Lohner; it was influenced by the film, but

not directly related. However, Reznor adds
tracks that he wrote entitled "Videodrones;
Questions" and "Driver Down."
"Driver Down" is an excellent piece of
music. It creates a sort of chaotic mood during the first half but there seem to be certain
hooks in the song that keep it all intact.
Toward the end, the chaos breaks as a steady
piano line emerges and a mischievous saxophone part taunts the piano.
"Videodrones; Questions" is simply a
44-second eerie bit that gives the listener the
feeling of what it must be like to be in a kind
of depressant-induced fear, which oddly
enough leads into "The Perfect Drug."
Billy Corgan gives a glimpse of the
future sound of Smashing Pumpkins in the
song "Eye," which is a very impressive first
stab into the world of electronic music.
Combined with decent lyrics and a great
melody, this is certainly the type of song
that could bridge the gap between old
Smashing Pumpkins guitar-based rock td
the current trend toward electronic music
(nothing too avant garde but just the type of
song that will make dedicated fans realize
what is in store for the future of the group
which just enlisted the aid of Nine Inch
Nails drummer Chris Vrenna for help in studio work).
The new Marilyn Manson track is typical of their work; maybe too typical. It
seems as though Manson has no place to go
with their music now, and this track is just

not as alluring as it might have been a year
ago.
The trademark growl of Manson is
prevalent on this song as are the fairly
thought-provoking lyrics.
However,
Manson's lazy growling does get a little old,
and perhaps it may be time for a change in
their sound.
There are two tracks sung in German by
Rammestein that might just as well go
unnoticed, but will probably be much better
when put to action in the film. Both tracks
are very heavy industrial type tracks, but
neither are very original, almost to the point
where one can say "hey. . . that riff is from
another song." Antonio Carlos Jobim adds
the song "Insenesatz" which is plain and
simple elevator music. These are the only
weak spots on the entire soundtrack.
With sound clips from the movie scattered throughout, Reznor has done an excellent job once again with this soundtrack.
Truly this is a different style of soundtrack
than Natural Born Killers, and it seems as
though Reznor might just be able to create a
great soundtrack to the lamest of movies.
However, this aural portrait of the film portrays the very type of movie that one would
expect from David Lynch— a twisted psychologically terrifying film with a light
touch of quirkiness to really mess with the
mind.
This is clearly the work of two very disturbed individuals. . . or are they?

Connelly kicks off coffeehouse Jazz and poetry come together
by Kristy Freeman
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Approximately 120 people came out to
the University's first coffeehouse of the
semester to see singer Chris Connelly's
entertaining solo pterformance.
Originally from Edinburgh, Scotland,
Connelly now resides in Chicago and has
been a musician for nearly 20 years. Right
now, Connelly says that, "I have just been
focusing mainly on touring college campuses around the country."
His performance lasted one hour and ten
minutes during which he played 15 songs.
Since Connelly was only a one-man show
and his only instruments were his guitar and
harmonica, the songs had the same basic
beat. However, Connelly's ability to sing in
multiple octaves provided a variety of different sounds. If a person in the audience
was not watching, he or she would think
there were two different performers on
stage because of the various voice changes.

Chris Connelly is formerly of the groups
KMFDM, Ministry and the Revolting
Cocks. He currently has three albums in
record stores and another on the way.
Not only is Connelly a recording artist,
but he is alsd an author. In a couple of
months his book of poetry will be in bookstores.
Before Connelly took the stage, however, two University students opened up the
evening's performance. Scott Wenning and
Chris Adams played a four song set, which
included music by Neil Young. Wenning
played the guitar and sang the lead while
Adams accompanied on guitar and sang
backup.
The coffeehouse setting was casual and
friendly. Friends gathered aroundj tables
with their cups of coffee and cappuccino
and held private conversations. Chris
Connelly provided a laid back performance
which people came to see and enjoyed. The
sounds of Chris Connelly were the sounds
of a talented performer.

Eagle Eye Features Editor_

It is rare that a writer's work is
described as "a jam session that takes the
reader from basement bar to concert hall,"
which is why students and faculty alike
braved Tuesday's winter mess to hear poet
Sascha Feinstein read a few of his favorite
pieces.
The personable and humorous Feinstein
captivated the audience with his soothing
voice and sensuous prose about relationships, family, memories and music.
His verse flows with the cadence of
such jazz legends as Miles Davis,
Thelonious Monk and Dizzie Gillespie,
who said of Feinstein's book,r/ie Jazz
Poetry Anthology, ".. . there are only a few
articles that get to the core of the meaning
of jazz. . . These poems hit it right on the
head."
While on the podium, Feinstein seemed
to feel his words rather than read them.
"Jazz is central to my life, and since you

write about things you love, my poetry has
been greatly informed by jazz," explained
Feinstein after the reading. "But I wouldn't call myself a 'jazz poet.'"
Many of the poems Feinstein read told
stories that sounded personal and inspired
by his own life. "My poems stem from a
mix of things," said Feinstein, who teaches
creative writing and literature at nearby
Lycoming College. "They usually begin
with something I've seen or heard or experienced, and change a bit as the poem
becomes a poem."
The crowd favorite seemed to be
Feinstein's concluding piece entitled
"Blues Knowledge of Departure," which
was inspired by a soulful street performer
in a Manhattan subway station. Building
with the rhythm of a passing subway train,
the p)oem ended in an almost spiritual celebration of the performer's musical talent.
After the reading, senior Mike Spinks
summed up the evening by saying, "It's
amazing to hear someone like him read
because you can really understand how
jazz and poetry connect."

Coming around the bend: Mike Shue
by Bill Hetler
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Making the transition from high school
to college can be extremely tough for student-athletes. The competition is much
more intense because the athletes at the collegiate level are much larger and quicker.
This transition, in most cases, takes the student athletes their entire freshman year.
However, for basketball player Michael
Shue, the transition came easy and he was
able to obtain a starting position halfway
through his freshman season.
Throughout Shue's career, he has always
been a dominating player. Shue, an alumnus of Dover High School in Dover, Pa.,
played for a school that was not known for
having a great basketball team, but hundreds of fans still showed up every night to
watch Mike and his teammates play.
By the end of his senior year, Shue
entered the Dover record books in three different categories: most three-point shots
made in a single game which still stands at
11, most points in one game, which also
remains unbroken at 47, and the highest
career free-throw percentage at 88 percent.
Shue entered the college ranks with high
expectations for himself as well as his fans.
However, he did have some concerns about

the opiX)sing teams and their players. He
explained, "The players on the other teams
are just as big as you are, and they are as
quick if not quicker than you."
Halfway through his freshman season,
Shue earned a spot in the starting lineup and
he hasn't left since, earning many honors
along the way. Shue was named secondteam All-PSAC West his sophomore and
junior years. In both of those years he not
only led the team in scoring, but ranked
third in the PSAC as well. During his junior
year he led the team and the conference with
the highest free-throw percentage of 88.9
percent.
So far this season, Mike has averaged 18
points p>er game, and has stood firmly as the
team's scoring leader. Head Coach Brad
Bross remarked, "Mike is very beneficial to
our program. He is a very good shooter and
he also creates opportunities for other players on the team."
On January 25, Shue broke another
LHU record when he became the new alltime leading scorer by shattering Shon
Crosby's previous mark of 1,648 points.
Shue entered the game needing only one
point to enter the books, but his first shot, a
three-pointer, clanged off the rim, leaving
the wanting crowd on their feet. But 5:56
into the game, Shue drove the lane and iced
a lay-up that would freeze his name in the

year as Shue. He explained that Shue is very
easy to get along with. "We've been friends
for four years now. I remember the first time

The century watch is on for Geurin and Kolat
WRESTLING
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Cary Kolat is one of the best at what he
does, and if anybody doubts his ability, talent or his heart, Kolat turns in a awesome
performance as he did last Monday at the
National
Wrestling
Coaches
Association/USAir All-Star Classic at
Clarion University.
Kolat won the 142 bout against the #2
ranked wrestler in the country, Roger
, Chandler of Indiana University, 5-1.
Kolat wrestled a smart match, waiting
for the right moment to shoot. "I'm not
really happy with how I wrestled, I'm a little more used to go-go-go," Kolat said.
"This is a good experience to face these
guys now and see the intensity. It helps
you be mentally prepared for later."
Kolat might not of been happy with the
way he wrestled but LHU Assistant Coach
Rocky Bonomo thought Kolat frustrated
Chandler all night.

"Cary usually goes full-tilt, but tonight
he wrestled more strategically," said
Bonomo. "It helps him with his international style, since his goal is to become an
Olympic champion. There you can't waste
your shots."
Kolat is ranked #1 at 142 and is 12-0 on
the season. Chandler dropped to 19-1 on the
season.
Kolat's victory was a good point on what
was a week of reflection of what could have
been, after a heart-breaking loss to West
Virginia last Friday night, 19-18.
Lock Haven took an early 15-0 lead.
Mike Kusick started it off with a 6-4 decision
over WVU's Angelo Zegarelli. In a shootout at 126 LHU's Dave Emili won 17-15 in
overtime over Gary Harris.
Terry Showalter kept team Lock Haven
rolling at 134 with a 10-7 decision over
David Sentner.
The score was now 9-0 and Kolat quickly made it 15-0 when he showed Dorian
Hager the lights in 1:10.
In one of the matches of the night,
WVU's Mike Mason, ranked #8, decisioned
Mike Rogers, ranked #5, in a 3-3 (rideout).
Rogers failed to escape after the 30-sec-

ond rideout tiebreaker.
Brian Leitzel, ranked #10, stepped onto
the mat and won a 5-2 decision and pushed
the Lock Haven lead to 18-3.
The West Virginia comeback officially
began at 167 when Neil Barnes dropped a
17-4 major decision to Veruts Jones. The
Lock Haven lead was now 11 at 18-7.
The Lock Haven fans that made the trip
to West Virginia were expecting Mike
Guerin, ranked #5 at his weight, to stop the
Mountaineer comeback.
Guerin was upset by John Koss 9-5 and
with two weights left LHU's lead had dwindled to eight points.
West Virginia got much closer at 190
when Kenny Haines was pinned in 3:56 by
WVU's Sean Hage.
The match came down to the heavyweight bout which has not been a strong
point for Lock Haven all year.
Kevin Drew dropped a heart-breaking 32 decision to Vince Pellis in yet another
exciting match. The win by Pellis brought
the Mountaineers back from 15 points down
to upset Lock Haven 19-18.
The century watch continues for Mike
Geurin and Cary Kolat.

Kolat is two away and just might get
win 100 at home against the University of
Pittsburgh tomorrow. Kolat's career record
stands at 97-7 (including two years at Penn
State).
Geurin is three away from the 100
milestone and should get win 100 at home
with LHU's next four matches in Thomas
Field House.
Both wrestlers are trying to join Mike
Rogers, who went over the 100 mark two
weeks ago at the PSAC Championships.
Lock Haven is now 8-5 overall, 0-2 in
EWL, and 0-1 in the PSAC. Lock Haven
returns home tonight against Lehigh.
LHU is also at the bottom end of the
triple header at Thomas Field House tomorrow. Both matches begin at 7:30piP .

OOPS!!!
CORRECTION: Mike Rogers, not Mike
Guerin, was named EWL wrestler of the
week last week. Mike Guerin is from
Dallas, Pa. not Fort Myers Floridia which
happens to be Rogers hometown.

Freshman boxer wins open division at PSU
by Chad Forry
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Freshman sensation, Dave Fields, was
the lone Bald Eagle boxer to win in the open
division at the annual Nittany Lion
Collegiate Boxing Invitational last Saturday
night at Penn State University.
Fields remained undefeated (4-0) by
earning a hard fought 5-0 decision over a
boxer from Navy's Brigade at 132.
The promising freshman moved up from
his normal weight class of 125 to challenge
the veteran Navy boxer. The taller Fields
used an effective right uppercut.and solid
left jab to out-distance his opponent, much
to the delight of the large Bald Eagle fan
gathering.
It was one of the best bouts of the invitational. Fields is rapidly developing into one
of the better 125 pounders in the NCBA.
Teammate, Eric Elmers, the 1996
National (NCBA) silver medalist at 119 also
moved up one weight class to battle Navy's
veteran 125 pounder.
Elmer lost a controversial 3-2 split decision. Head coach, Dr. Ken Cox, displayed
some displeasure with the decision. Cox felt
Elmer had won the first two rounds (20-19),
although he agreed Elmer lost the third
round 20-19.
Elmer, a counter puncher, landed four or
five good counter left hooks, but was not
active enough in the ring to pull out the vic-

tory over the more aggressive Navy boxer.
Cruiser weight, Tony Penecale, gave up
25 pounds to the Nittany Lion's muscular
heavyweight, and lost a 5-0 decision.
Although Penecale gave a good account
of himself, and scored some good body
shots on the much taller PSU heavyweight,
he just did not have the fire power to sustain
an affective attack.
The Bald Eagles' fourth open division
boxer on the card, sophomore Shannan
Smith, 147, was on his way to his first collegiate victory when he had to default
because of a shoulder injury in the third
round.
Smith had won the first two rounds over
PSU's Matt Arentz, but was forced to
default early in the third round by the ring
physician to avoid any further damage to his
left arm.
Sticking to the custom, the boxers all
box up one weight class until several weeks
before the regional qualifier in March, then
they drop to the lower weight. According to
coaches Cox and Ken Cooper, this avoids
"burn out" both physically and mentally.
"In college boxing there is no seeding,
and winning only counts in regionals to
qualify for nationals," stated Cooper.
Competing in novice bouts were
Antonio Ward, 125; Jon Sorens, 125; Greg
Baker, 139; Tom Partner, 147; and Anthony
Aquillo, 156.
Ward won a 5-0 decision and Aquillo

lost a 3-2 tiebreaker to a boxer from Virginia
Military Institute.
Tomorrow six open division boxers and
one novice will compete in the Keydet
Invitational at VMl.
Last year's national champion at 165,
Jason Pletcher, freshman Fred Druding,
132; veteran Tony Penecale, 172; Eric
Elmer, 119; and Dave Fields, 125 are scheduled to box on the main card. Tony Aquillo,
156, will box a novice bout.
Elmer will box one of the featured bouts
against Brandt Dutle of the University of
Kentucky.
Dutle decisioned Elmer last April in an
exciting bout to win the national title at 119.
Pletcher is scheduled to box the other

featured bout against Navy's J.J. Puga at
165.
All 14 LHU boxers are scheduled to
compete in the 18th Annual LHU
Collegiate Invitational on February 15.
Boxers from 14 schools across the
country will participate in the invitational.
The Navy is the defending national
champion coming into the match.
The preliminary card, consisting of 12
novice bouts, will get under way at 2:00
p.m., and the main card will begin at 8:00
p.m..
Last year over 2,000 fans filled the
Thomas Field House to watch what has
become one of the most popular collegiate
boxing shows in the country.

Sparing at practice , boxers prepare for this weekend's match.

Lamed Ladies drop two in a row

112 Eagle Eye Friday, February 7,1997

,by Chris Gemberling
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
The Lady Eagles once again had their
winning streak stopped at two games as they
dropped a tough game to the Fighting Scots
of Edinboro on Saturday by a final score of
58-54.
With about eight minutes left in the first
half, and the Haven down 18-9, Rachel
Ebeling delivered to Amy Nickles for a huge
basket that started a 13-2 run for the Lady
Eagles. The score stood at 24-22, in favor
of Edinboro at the half.
Terri Johnson had a great first half, leading the Lady Eagles with 10 points, but had
to leave due to an injury that kept her out the
rest of the game.
"Terri has a big heart, she wanted to
come out for the second half, but the pain
was just too much," said Coach Frank
Scarfo.
Lock Haven took their first lead at the
16:50 mark, 26-25, but couldn't hold it.
Edinboro gained the lead back, and the Lady
Eagles couldn't manage to get it under five
points for most of the half.
Late in the game Becky Peter picked up

her third foul on a controversial charging
call. Had the call gone the other way.
Heather Gates would have picked up her
third foul, which would have changed her
play. Gates finished with 20 points and a
crucial 15 rebounds. With 1:10 left, the
Haven came alive with a four point run
courtesy of Tonya Jones. She hit two free
throws, and then a jumper to chip
Edinboro's lead to two with just under a
minute to play.
Gates then made a back breaking layup
after she grabbed a loose ball that could
have been a key turn over. The Edinboro
lead climbed back to four, where it
remained until the end of the game.
"We had bad luck with that loose ball,
it just didn't bounce our way. I'm proud of
the effort the kids gave, they deserve a better fate," commented Scarfo. "The charge
changed the whole game. It swung the
momentum."

Peter ended the game with 13 points.
Meridith McKnight led the team with 13
rebounds, with eight coming in the first half.
"Meridith rebounded well tonight. She's
been working hard, so we gave her a shot at
starting, and she's doing a nice job," said
Scarfo. "We really missed Terri in the second half, it would've been a different game
if she was hitting like she did in the first
half." Nickles finished with nine points, and
Jones added eight.
Lock Haven's next opponent was lUP,
who handed them a 74-61 loss, despite the
Lady Eagles outscoring them 41-38 in the
second half. Lock Haven shot 28 percent
from the field in the first half, as they were
outscored 36-20.
Theresa Kabala of lUP hurt the Lady
Eagles with a team high 26 points. The
Haven had four players score in double digits, led by Rachel Ebeling who chalked up
13 points and dished out seven assists.
Ebeling is the PSAC's current assist
leader, and is ranked in the top ten in
Division II with 6.5 assists per game.
Nickles had a strong performance, scoring
12 and grabbing 11 rebounds, to lead the
team. Jones contributed 11, and Peter

rounded out the group with 10 points and
eight rebounds.
After having their winning streak ended
by Edinboro, Scarfo commented, "Every
time we get an opportunity to get in position
to compete for the playoffs we get snake
bitten. We're really being hurt by injuries."
Missy Witters, Kara Deats and now Terri
Johnson are all down with injuries. "We
need to take heart, soul and energy, and use
enthusiasm and effort as a springboard."
The Lady Eagles are home again this
Saturday against California in the first game
of a sports triple header.

Shueless Bald Eagles fall 85-61
by Ryan Czop
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
LHU traveled to lUP Wednesday night
for a pivotal PSAC match-up, left their leading scorer at home and left lUP with a 85-61
loss. LHU drops to 3-5 in the conference
and 6-16 overall.
With Mike Shue suspended for the contest, the Bald Eagles had their hands full trying to knock off lUP, although at the half,
they were only down 31-29.
After back and forth play, lUP opened
the lead to 50-40 early in the second half.
The Eagles tried to soar back as Doug
Oliver converted a foul into a three-point
play, and Chad McKinney's basket cut the
lead to five, 50-45.
lUP then went on a 11-0 run to put the
score at 61-45, and turned their cruise control on as they breezed past the "Shueless"
Bald Eagles.
Oliver stepped up in Shue's absence,
leading the charge with 15 points and 12
rebounds. Forward Dan Welker added 13
points and four assists, and point guard
Chris Daley added 12 points.
Last Saturday, an offensive foul called
against Shue with 17 seconds remaining.

enabled Edinboro to escape Thomas Field
House with a 71-68 victory.
A pair of free-throws by Shue with 17
seconds left, put the team within one, 6968. Following a time-out, the Scots failed to
inbound the ball and were called for a fivesecond violation.
On the ensuing in-bound, Shue was
called for a push-off foul as he was trying to
break free of a Scots' defender.
"I don't understand how they can make
that call with 17 seconds left," said Shue
about the controversial call. "I don't feel
that you should decide a game, with everything that went on, on a call like that."
The Bald Eagles did not get the break,
but head coach Brad Bross knew they
should not have needed one. "We blew it.
Shame on us for getting into the position
that costs us the game," Bross stated.
The Scots Tim Miller connected with
two free throws to put the lead at three, 7168. Shue's three-point attempt with 10 seconds was too strong, but Dan Welker's
rebound gave the team a glimmer of hope.
Welker was fouled on the play and
missed both free throws. James Burrell
again gave LHU some hope by pulling
down the board. Burrell found Shue behind
the arc, but Shue's desperation three fell

short.
Shue led all scorers with 27, a week after
being named PSAC Player of the Week.
Welker added on with 16 points and Doug
Oliver scored 14.
Boro's Miller and Antoine Jefferson carried the load for the Scots, each pouring in
18 points, while Brian Ellis added 14 points
to go along with 11 boards.
The Bald Eagles have now lost three
straight, and are 1-5 in their last six games.
Tomorrow the Bald Eagles will try to
avenge an early season loss to California, as
the Vulcans come to town. Tip-off is set for
3 p.m. in the Thomas Field House.
