referendum be passed. It will be voted upon at the SCC
elections, March 26-28.
"It would mean we could get a band like the Red Hot
Chili Peppers instead of a band like Filter," said Jason
Huber of HAC.
The extra money for the fee will go completely
towards the concert, said Nicole Nash, HAC Assistant
Coordinator who explained the reasoning for the possible
additional charge.
"We now have $20,000 in actual budget and $10,000
anticipated revenue," Nash said. "The $20,000 includes
artist fees, all production costs (lights, sound, stage), the
opening act, publicity and the cost to print tickets.
"[If we add the bill] we will have approximately
$59,000 to put on a concert. This means we could get
bands like 3 Doors Down, Outkast, Godsmack, Macy
Gray, Shaggy, Ani DeFranco, Destiny's Child, Dido, or
the Indigo Girls. Their prices may go out of our price
range next semester. If we had $50,000 now, we could get
those people.
"[Getting a concert] is a very difficult process to go
through," Nash said. First, the concert committee must

The Access the World forum met
Tuesday to discuss the influence that
the U.S. media has on minority races.
Chairperson, Vanessa Balderston
began the meeting by introducing
guest facilitator, Emilio Lopez
Romero of Madrid, Spain. Romero
addressed the main topic and the difficulties that journalists have reporting information in a nonbiased view.
Romero said, "A journalist has to
be someone that portrays what is
going on in the world without taking
any one side of the story."
Anastasia Bannikova, LHU journalism major, pointed out how hard it
is to keep a story nonbiased.
Bannikova said, "I have noticed
that U.S. news focuses first on the
local news, then the national, then we
get 30 seconds of international

news."
Bannikova commented on how
the news was more concentrated on
scandal and less on the more important issues like international news.
Balderston asked the group how
they felt about the media's role in
globalization. Jon Ryan, LHU
exchange student, said, "It can bring
certain cultures together, but it can

also push them further apart." He
went on to comment on how the
media chooses the information that it
covers and then spoke of his concerns
about what is missed out.
Rose Reeder, early childhood
education, said, "The media has
made the world a smaller place, but at
the same time we think that we are
getting the full picture when we really are not."
Romero said, "The large media
groups are concentrating all the
news. I think that we are loosing the

independent coverage, therefore we
are slowly all getting the same news."
James

Tomecsek, expressed the dangers of
the current business-like school of
thought in news writing. He said,
"the media goes with what sells. This
can lower the standard and integrity
of news we get."
The group talked about stereotypes and the roles they play in the
news.
Silvana Bice, LHU economics
major, said, "the media only talks
about other countries if there is something bad to report, like war." Bice
also spoke about the way people look

Wednesday

evening with the presentation of Still Killing Us
Softly 3: Advertising's
Image of Women, followed
by a discussion of panelists
offering reasons and solutions for the way women
are depicted in advertising.
The video showed different examples of how
women have been portrayed as "objects, things,
or less-than
human."
Advertising paints an unrealistic image of what
women should look like;
thin waist, small shoulders,
small breasts, perfect nose
and mouth.
Dr. Susan Boland
(above right) said that
women [of all ages] don't
spend enough time promoting self-esteem; therefore, many women today
feel negative about their
appearance.

Dr. Rose Ann Neff
(above left) said, "What
was shocking in 1997, isn't
shocking now and what is
shocking now won't be in
2010."
"The advertising industry isn't changing," said
Dr. Sharon Stringer. "The
ads reflect what is happening in society today."
The idea of boycotting
magazines that depict
women in ways that is
troubling wouldn't work,
according to Stringer. She
said that by boycotting a
magazine, you'd have to
boycott everything inside
that magazine, thus starting an out of control snowballing effect.
Neff said that no one
person can change the
world, however, they can
start with their circle of
influence.

The next event to be
held in honor of Women's
History Month, Women in
Violence, will take place
on Wednesday in the
Robinson Hall of Flags at 7
p.m.

College life is one filled with its share of
hard work as well as fun and play. Students
across the country participate in the popular
habit of partying to break away from the
stress of college. However, what does partying entail? Although it is wrong to stereotype
any party as a bash filled with alcohol and
drugs, it is easy to say that they do make an
impact on the pa ty scene.
It couid be an ued by some that drugs and
alcohol are there to take the edge off (have
fun) and that they have no significant meaning, the truth is the ugh they do.
HIV, which stands for the Human
Immunodeficiency Virus. ft is the virus that
causes AIDS, and it is one of the risks run
when drugs and ak:ohol are involved.
AIDS is spread from one person to another through sex am I blood to blood contact,
When a person is infected with the virus it
attacks their immu ie system. AIDS can then
develop when the persons immune system
becomes so damag ;6 that it no longer has the
ability to fight off diseases and infections.
Nancy Panko, a nurse at Lock Haven
University, said,'"statistically we are the same
as any other campus across the country. One
out of every 300 people test positive for HIV
on campus and more than likely they don't
x wi years now "safe sex" has been promoted to students in high school, college and
even to students in middle school. However
intercourse itself is not the only sexual activity that can cause harm.
Having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with
someone who is infected can help spread the
,
disease.
It is safe to prepare yourself if you are
going to have sex by knowing the history of
your partners sexual background, being tested
if they have had intercourse before, and using
a latex condom before having any kind of sex.
Keep in mind though that latex condoms can
reduce the spread of HIV but they don't
always work. Consider when using a condom

ncrease protection.
Keep in mind, although you may not be

sexually active, circumstances change quickly. Every year we get students who think they
are invisible. They go out, get drunk, don't
know what they are doing, and they are being
infected at epidemic rates." says Panko.
Alcohol is a recreational drug that is a
major factor in people having unsafe sex. It
can impair ones judgment as well as make
someone careless about using a condom,
It's easy to think, if you aren't having sex,
you won't contract the virus. Think again,
College campuses everywhere have problems
of drugs being used by students,
For example, Heroin is injected into a person by a needle. "Heroin is on the rise," said
Panko. "Those who share needles and
syringes run a very high chance of spreading
the disease." If a person carrying HIV injects
a needle into their skin the needle comes in
contact with blood. If the needle is not steriiized but passed on, the next person to use it
c6uld easily catch the disease.
Although HIV is considered a deadly disease they are many ways in which you cannot
contract it. Simple activities such as shaking
hands, hugging, spending time or even being
by an infected person who coughs or sneezes
is harmless. It is important to remember that
sharing the same toilet facilities, chairs, utensils and even equipment in school is harmless
as well,
It is important to keep in mind that if you
or someone you know has the HIV virus there
is help for you. Seek help from a counselor or
someone who knows about the virus.
You can do other things such as be understanding towards those who have the virus as
well as learn about it to protect yourself.
"To be knowledgeable is to be armed."
said Panko.
Tuesday, March 20, from 8:30 a.m. to 5
p.m. there will be free, confidential, bloodless
HIV/AIDS testing. The testing will be held in
Woolridge Hall in the RHA and Wellness
Center rooms. The testing is being conducted
by the AIDS project in conjunction with
Glennon Health Services. Results will be
given on Tuesday April 3, 2001. No appointment is needed.

Study says college drinking
Won't have long term effects

Jerry Abejo
Ridder Newspapers
WASHINGTON — Participation in Greek fraternities and sororities, long considered a haven for
heavy drinking on college campuses, may not
necessarily lead to heavier drinking later in life, a
]new study shows.
The study, published Sunday by the American
jPsychological Association, found that students in

The report studied 319 mostly white participants at a large Midwestern university. They were
evaluated yearly for their first four years at college and once three years later. Participants averaged 24 years old by the end of the report, and
they will continue to be evaluated in future studies.

Williams clearly knew he
was doing a bad thing and that,
Richard Cohen ventured in the
Washington Post, "may be the
reason he did it." By carrying
out his threats (made to a number of his peers and at least one
adult) he was finally standing up
for himself. This by no means
justifies or condones his horrific
actions, but it does open up the
question of liability, of who was
truly to blame for Andy
Williams taking a gun into
school that sunny morning.
The source for his weapon
was his father's arsenal which he
claims was kept locked up at
home with no way for Andy to
get his hands on. But clearly
there was a way and he must be
at least held partly accountable
for his son's actions. If you insist
on having guns in the house with
your children then you must
make it absolutely impossible
for them to access. Williams'
father thought he had done that,
but hadn't and so is liable.
But it is for this reason, and
not the one offered up by the
president, that he should be held
accountable. Moral guidance
cannot be legislated and, therefore, Mr Williams cannot be
charged with failing to teach his
son the difference between right
and wrong.
II he is to be censured for
this then the parents of the bullies who pushed Williams inexorably towards his path of
destruction must also be looked
at. Did they not teach their kids
that it is wrong to spiritually and

their kids that beating someone
for their build is wrong?
Again, by no means a justification, merely questions that
should be considered when condemning Mr. Williams for an
apparent inability to father. Let
him be charged for negligence in

And the bullies? They too

troubled teens from getting their
hands on guns will be a major
step towards ending these terrible events.
After the Santee shootings
Education Secretary Rod Paige
cited "alienation and rage" as the
major factor in the case, going
on to comment that "the guns
may be the instrument of the
violence, but they're not the
cause of the violence."
He was half right. The guns
are clearly the instrument ofthe
violence, but they can also be
seen as the cause, as they provide an outlet of emotion for tormented kids. Rather than seek

help or guidance, the availability
of guns provides an alternative
route. It's an awful, drastic
course of action, but one which
these kids feel is the only way. If
guns were not available then the
possibility may not enter the
equation.
Clearly there are social and
political issues here. The problem is that they are so intertwined that a solution is not
easy. Politicians will never act
against the will of the voters
who elected them to power, so it
is up to some sections of the
public to change their views on
the second amendment.
However, these shifts in
opinion are unlikely and so need
to be gently coerced through legislation. But politicians will not
jeopardize their re-election...
and so it goes on.
Increased gun control and a
greater sense of empathy in
schools are required. Guns kill
people and their availability
needs to be restricted. But people kill people too, either directly or indirectly.

Education will benefit from federal funding without standards
Randy Miller
Eagle Eye Staff Reporter
In his first attempt at drawing up a budget for this country,
President Bush has decided to
include a substantial chunk of
funding to be used for "education." This term is very broad,
could be applied to a number of
areas within the realm of education, and is subject to a current

nationwide debate.
Many ardent Bush detrac-

tors, looking for any reason to
make him look foolish, say that
the government should not be
wasting federal tax dollars on
programs that, mandated by the
constitution, are set aside for
state control.
I, unfortunately, am one of

those detractors. I look for any
reason to fault the man and his
nepotismical (yeah, I made that
up) rise to the position of the
most powerful man in the free
world. I would love to make the
man look foolish, because I

think anyone who loses the popular election should not be
allowed to be president. But
that's not the point.
The point here is that I find
myself agreeing with his stance
when it comes to federal funding for education. I'll attack
three separate viewpoints, and
make it painfully obvious to my
slow-witted counterpart that any
argument to the contrary is both
silly and... well, just plain
wrong.
First of all, to say that edu-

cation is only the responsibility
of states is to interpret the constitution literally, which I think
is a pretty good idea. However,
nowhere in the document does it
forbid the federal government
from offering grants to states for
use in the public school system.
The spirit ofthe law, not the letter, is to keep our country's central government from passing
down any nationwide standards
and consequently attempting to
flex its formidable muscle on
our locally run school districts.

If Bush decides to set aside
money for states in the form of
grants with open-ended usage in
the area of education, no one is

harmed. And let's face it; some
of the schools in this country
could use a little extra money.
But let's not even take it to
the public schools. There's a
program in Harlem called
"America Reads." It's a federally funded, after-school program
run separately from the school
district that offers elementary
and junior high school age kids

who come from disadvantaged

backgrounds an opportunity to
catch up to their proper reading
level. So tell me, how is that
wrong? Why do some people
view that as something we need
less of?
The point is, I am not in
favor of rigid nationwide standardized testing guidelines. I
simply state that if the federal
government wants to spend
more on books and less on
rifles, who am I to criticize?

Forget federal and state funding for schools- privatize education
Jason Shepard
The Eagle Eye
Federal and state funding for
public education puts bars on
every American parent's cage
while stealing money out of
every American's pocket.
First taxes are collected to
pay for schools across the country by local, state, and national
governments from every taxpayer in the country. It does not
matter if the benefits of paying
the school tax apply to the taxpayer; they pay no matter what.
Second,

the

government

then takes the money they collect and chooses for you the
school your child will go to (if
you even have one). My grandparents pay school taxes and
they haven't had children in
school in a very, very long time.

Yet, a part of their hard-earned
money is stolen from each paycheck to pay for something that
does not benefit them in the
least.
Although I know the discussion is to be based around the
merits of government funding
for schools, I am going to do
things a little bit differently. I
am going to quickly offer up a
different idea of funding for
education and you, the reader,
can decide if the way it is now
makes any sense. I propose
complete privatization ofeducation.
All children must go to
school; it is one of the foundations of America, I completely
agree. In my system every child
still gets an education. The differences with mine are three
very key ideals.
First, the United States gov-

has only two jobs and
they are aptitude tests to make
sure schools are meeting basic
standards and collecting taxes
from the schools, not taxpayers,
the schools themselves. Second,
only those people who have
children in school pay for the
schools. Third, parents get a
choice of which school their
child attends. Here's how it
would work:
Like business in this country, schools become private,
thus thriving on competition.
Parents who cannot afford to
send their children to school
will be given vouchers that the
state government has collected
from the tax on the privately
owned schools. Private owners
will run the schools, but the
quality of education will not
suffer.
Think about it, where would
ernment

you send your child if you had
the option, a school with 100
percent quality teachers or a
school with 90 percent quality
teachers? The answer is obvious
and because of the competition
to get as many students as you
can (therefore making more
money as a business owner) you

raise the level of education
because good teachers bring in
more students.
Also,
specialization of
schools would start to form. If
you are losing enrollment rates
and need more students, what
better way to do it than modify
your school to be a Spanish
speaking only school or a school
for the physically handicapped?
These schools would provide
the best environment and teachers for a select group of students, therefore providing the
best education for those

Although I've mostly talked
about the educational value of
the privatization of education,
my main motivation for being in
favor of it is the freedom provided to parents. As of now parents have two options in the situation of having a bad public

school that their child is
assigned to. They can send the
child to that public school and
watch his education diminish, or
they can keep paying the school
tax and send their child to a private school, paying twice for
one education.
A lot of worry in my field
(I'm an elementary education
major) when it comes to privatization of education is about the
decline of teachers' salaries.
However, just as in any business, professionals who excel at
what they do get well compen-

sated for it. Good teachers
would get paid more, just as in
any other profession, and teachers would move up the pay scale
because of the quality of their
work instead of the quantity.
Therefore, unqualified teachers
would be weeded out and,
again, the quality of the education rises.
I know this is a bit outlandish and radical. However,
the fact that people want the
choice of where to send their
children to school so badly that
they are willing to send them to
charter schools where only 70
percent of the teachers have to
be certified is a frightening fact.
America has been built on private choice and I can't sec why
education should be any differ-

ent.

Do you really know what you think you know?
The great philosopher Rene
Descartes went to great lengths
attempting to discern what is the
truth. For him the true reality
■was something which had an
existence that was not doubtable
■under any condition.
After much contemplation
he came to the conclusion that
his mind was the only thing that
was beyond doubt. This leads
us to the famous "I think, therefore I am." Unfortunately, that
is all that he finds to be without
doubt, and so the only thing that
he is absolutely certain exists is
his own solitary mind.
Agree or disagree with that
conclusion, but ask any philosophy professor and they will tell
you that this metaphysical black
hole has yet to be solved; the
ideas which we create in our
mind are our reality. Our perceptions are reality and we can go
no further than that with certainty-

How will any one person

how they think, their true nature,

jump to conclusions about people.
I know my best friend. I've
known him for a long time, or, I
should say, I have a very deep
and well constructed idea of him
in my mind that I have built over
the years. This representation,
which includes what I believe to
be his likes, dislikes, attitudes
etc., gives me a starting point
as to how to socialize with him
such as in a conversation. My
idea of him would give me cues
as to what to talk about, what is
appropriate, inappropriate and
so on. I don't have to assume
too much to deal with him, I
know him fairly well. However,
make such assumptions on people you don't know and you are
truly treading on dangerous

consciousness of another human
being.
This leaves us at a disadvantage because, you see, to function and interact in society we
must grasp some sort of understanding of others-the way they

As scholarly studies progressed, the picture of the Orient

exotic fairy-tale land illusion,

It was an injustice to the people who lived their, and the fantasies created by the Orientalists,

has nothing to do with our minisociety here in Lock Haven, you
must be new.
Racism and prejudice are

alive and well in America. Great
rifts among the people are still

created by class, location, education and a myriad of others
which separate us from each
other, allowing for the intrusion
of specious reasoning taken up
in order fill that natural human
desire to feel completely knowledgeable, confident and in control of our own surroundings and
the nation we call home.
Because it is easier for us to
take this path should we condone it? Obviously not. Why?
There are many reasons, which
would require much more space
than this article could provide,
but for one I'd never consider
ignorance a strength. I don't
have any research for that, sorry.
Just as large groups of people can don a cap and gown and
speak authoritatively about other
groups, so can a few people
speak with confidence on a few
others. You know these people;
they are the gossipers, the slanderers, the liars of the world;
those who have nothing to say
but say something negative anyways. Whenever you point at
someone you really don't know
and definitively say "they are,"

you are not only attempting to
define their existence in a simplified form; you're also defining yourself as some idiot who is
either too lazy or scared to actually get to know someone.
Think, are you commenting
on that demographic, group or
person orare you speaking about
that representation you've made
in your mind? That distorted
patchwork of an idea you've
constructed from hearsay, gossip, stereotypes or a few limited
experiences you may have had.
You may want to tear down
that fabricated diploma you've
made for yourself declaring you
the expert of group x or the aficionado ofperson y. Rip it down
from that chamber located in the
back of your head where you
seat yourself on a little throne
and proclaim yourself king of an
illusion. Once you rip it down
take your fist and punch through
that wall created from fear and
constructed of ignorance. When
you finally do, on the other side
you may just find the humility to
realize you don't know all that
you think you know.

St. Patty's Day brings out the Irish in everyone
Janeen Jones

Eagle Eye Features Editor
It happens all the time. Every year, on March
17, all of a sudden everyone becomes something
that they were not the day before. St. Patrick's
Day brings out the Irish in everyone.
The holiday has become the universal time
when everyone celebrates with shamrocks and
green beer. But St. Patrick's Day started a long
time ago with more meaning and tradition than it
holds today.
The first St. Patrick's Day was celebrated in
1737. The holiday, which is named after the
patron saint of Ireland, Maewyn Succat, who later
changed his name to Patricius (Patrick) when he
became a priest, was first celebrated in America,

Ireland.
Although his actual birthday is not known, it is
known that he was not born of Irish blood. St.
Patrick was of Roman lineage, but born in Britain.
He was captured and sold into slavery by a
group of Irish raiders when he was 16. After six
not

years of captivity, St. Patrick escaped to a
monastery.
He later studied Christianity, became a preacher and a bishop, and helped to convert pagans to

Christianity.
Originally a Catholic holy day, St. Patrick's
Day has developed into a holiday celebrated by
people other than Catholics or Irish.
St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17,
which is speculated to have been the date of his
birth and death This fact, however, has never been
proven true.
Even though it is not an official federal holiday
in the United States, it is celebrated by manyIrish or not.
"It's not one of those holidays where you have
to go out and buy something for somebody.
Nobody's expecting a bouquet of shamrocks," said
junior,

March 17, but the organizers say they are hopeful
that another date can be arranged later in the year.

For the first time since the economic collapse
of 1998, St Patrick's week in Moscow will have a
full program of events.
The St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York,

touted as the biggest in the world, should draw
more people than usual to Manhattan this year
because the holiday falls on a Saturday.
"I usually do [celebrate St. Patrick's Day],"
said John Adams, senior, but said, "[This year]
I'm going to be working here[at Lock Haven]."
Also considered a symbol of the St. Patrick
Day's festivities is the shamrock, which nowadays
has also come to be considered a symbol of good
luck and Irish heritage. It was traditionally used
in Ireland as a symbol of the cross.
Originally, the symbol was used by St. Patrick
as a sign of the Trinity of the Christian church
because of its three leaves which coincide with the
three parts of the Trinity.
This year, in keeping with the tradition, St.
Patrick's Day will be celebrated by millions across
the world, honoring a man who was not from
Ireland, but has been able to gather people from all
nationalities and make them feel a little ofthe Irish
spirit.

The opening $77,500 bid was instantly topped
by one of $150,000 from the floor. Bids quickly

"It went faster than I thought it would," said
the bill's consigner, an East Coast resident who
also asked that his name not be used. "You'd
always like to see it go higher, but I'm pleased."
He should be especially pleased in light of the
fact that two coin dealers had previously offered
him $ 1,153 and $ 1,900for a collection of some 65

research, which led him to the Littleton (N.H.)

"It's fair to say we have no regrets about selling it," the owner said. "It's a special bill."

March 16, 2001

Rob Thomas bares all about "Mad Season"
Andy Argyrakis
His bags are packed, his
gear is ready to go, and the tour
bus will be Rob Thomas' home
for the next two months. As
with any band about to go on
the road, things are hectic in the
lives of the guys from
Matchbox Twenty. There are
last minute loose ends to tie up
in their personal lives and then
there's the planning of theirrock
spectacle, including everything
from the set list, to crowd dialogue, to on stage prop placement.

It's the last day of February
when Thomas and company
pull up to the backstage
entrance of the U.S Cellular
Arena in Milwaukee. They have
the first night of the tour behind
them and the stage is about to
be set for round two.
"We haven't been out since
Thanksgiving so it was really a
welcome back for us," adrruts
Thomas via his cellphone from
the arena. "We were nervous
about how everything was
going to go, but as soon as we
walked out on stage last night,

all the fans were in awe. But
everything that could've gone
wrong did. We had every technical problem, but nobody
noticed because we kept playing through it. Actually, that
was the best thing that could've
happened to us because it kept
us away from getting too comfortable."
Thomas is trying to sound
comfortable, though it's obvious
he's had a long afternoon. The
band was behind schedule thus
far in the day, which was highlighted by a longer than normal
sound check. During the interview, the banter of crew members scrambling in the background and drum and guitar
technicians making some last
minute adjustments is impossible to ignore.
"Once you hit the road
something
there's always
going," Thomas says. "On one
hand, there is perfect order and
you have a schedule that you
keep with interviews at certain
'times, meals at certain times,
and a sound check in between.
But there's always something a
little bit different going on to
keep you jumping around."
And jumping around is

something Thomas loves to do,
both on and off stage. He seems
energetic and enthusiastic about
performing later that night and
on into the weekend. He's also
confident with the new material
the band will present from their
Mad Season CD, released last
year and already with sales of
over three million units. This
time out, Thomas seems to
believe in the power of his
songs and his ability to translate
them into both radio and live
performance success.
"I write songs from a musical standpoint that I want to
hear on the radio, always thinking what it would be like driving down the road and really
getting into that song on the
radio," he says. "There is a
whole different side of music
when you strive to make people
like it. Like when someone says
Tm really good with people' or
Tm a really a laid back guy.'
The reality is they're probably
not like that. I think it's the same
when you are writing. If you go
out and say Tm going to write
this because it's going to touch a
lot of people,' then you're probably not, and you're going to
wind up with some sappy

song."
Fast-forward two days to
March 2, when Matchbox
Twenty takes the stage at
Chicago's Allstate Arena. From
the photographer and crew pit
In between the stage and the
front row, Thomas seems to
have put the hustle and bustle of
the past few days behind him as
'the house lights dim, and is
ready to give fans the exciting
show they paid for. As the
crowd erupts when the band
launches into "Crutch" and
"Bent" - the first two songs of
Thomas seems
the set
relieved that the new material is
working. More evidence of that
comes later in the night when
they take a stab at their latest hit
"If You're Gone."
Despite the song's intimate
message, the group was able to
bear their souls for a vibrant
rendition of the power ballad.
'"If You're Gone' was just a letter I had written to my wife,"
explains Thomas in the other
day's conversation. "I never
intended it to be on the record,
but one night in the studio, we
just kept playing and recording
it and knew we had to include
it."

In
Commission began offering a
voluntary hunter safety program. About 25,000 students
annually participated in that
program, which was instrumental in reducing the number of
hunting-related shooting incidents in Pennsylvania.
Beginning in 1969, the
General Assembly enacted a
new law to require all first-time
hunting license buyers under 16
years of age to successfully
complete the four-hour course.
In 1976, the course of study was
expanded to six hours and the
name changed to Hunter
Education. The law then was
changed again in 1982, and the
program became mandatory for
all first-time hunting license
buyers regardless ofage.
Finally, in 1986, the program was extended to the current minimum 10 hours of class
time and trapper-furtaker training was included. The name of
the program also was changed
to Hunter-Trapper Education,
and was required for all firsttime hunting and furtaking
license buyers.
