Naylor's works come to life through Virginia Martin
Anastasia Bannikova
Eagle Eye Staff Reporter
Virginia Martin, retired professor of Literature, spoke about
the numerous books of wellknown modern author Gloria
Naylor, as a preparation for the
third Major Black Writers
Lecture series, which kicked off
Monday night, February 21.
Gloria Naylor will visit LHU's
campus on March 30 as a guest
speaker.
Martin discussed the most
famous novels of Naylor, "The
Women of Brewster Place" and
"Lindon Hills." Martin's primary goal was to talk about five
novels, but unfortunately, time
did not permit her to do so.
Using her extensive familiarity of Naylor's works and her
"strange" (as she explained)
sense of humor, Martin talked
about female characters of the
novels, exposing their fears, fantasies, selfishness, spirituality,
and love.

Exemplifying the essence
which is associated with African
American history and Women's
history, Dr. Harriet Masembe
brings to Lock Haven University

Uganda, Africa and a professor

The life of Gloria Naylor was
described in detail. Born in New
York City in 1950, she was the
first of three daughters. Her family lived with an extremely limited income. Despite these obstacles, Naylor was able to continue
her education.

work at Hunter and Brooklyn,
and later attending Yale

According to her first year

University."
The praise continued through
the years with Masembe continually receiving evaluations from
students which commended her
attitude toward students, fairness
in grading policies, effective

communication and strong
story-telling, ability to encour-

age questions and discussions,
and interest and enthusiasm in
teaching the course and her

Everyone has heard of onestop shopping, but Lock Haven
University has created a place
for its students to do one-stop
registering.
According to Dr. James
Smalley, associate dean of
University has been in the
process for the past five years of
creating a web-based advisement
and registration feature on the
LHU homepage.
This addition, which will be
in effect following Spring Break,
will enhance the present homepage and allow students to
access anything pertaining to
their academic records that the
University has on file from any
computer anywhere in the world.
According to Smalley, only
three other schools in the
Pennsylvania State System of
Higher Eduaction have imple-

merited similar programs.
Joining the likes of Edinboro,
and

become the fourth.

The third Monday in
February the 21st, has traditionally been the day set aside as a
day to honor all U.S. Presidents.
In particular, this holiday recognizes the birthdays of George
Washington and Abraham
Lincoln.
Since the 18th century, the
myths surrounding George
Washington have been learned
by school children across the
country.
However to many
scholars, these myths remain the
object of much
debate,
According to Golden.
The most common myths
about our first president include
the story of how he chopped
down a cherry tree, and of how
he threw a silver dollar across
the Potomac River.

According to Golden, these
myths were the result of a bibliwritten

Golden adds, "they did not even

As for our 16th president,
Abraham Lincoln, Golden says,

to have super-human stories
about themselves circulating to

Golden says the myth about

this myth may be true to and
extent, but again this story has
been told to show the president
as a man of great virtues," notes
Golden.
Golden says that the virtues
learned through these myths
were qualities all men wanted to
be known for. These myths provided children with heroes and
positive role models, while
allowing the President to remain
superior in the eyes of his country.

Court returns to the bench
Tuesday to face some of the
most contentious issues of our

As the nine justices end a

For the next four months,
they will delve into a litany of

emotionally charged matters
with important implications for
the daily lives of Americans.
The cases include challenges

so-called "partial birth abortion" laws and a dispute over
whether patients can sue HMOs
under federal law, as well as
whether a student can pray over
loudspeakers before a football
game, whether police must still
read suspects Miranda warnings
or whether the Boy Scouts can
exclude homosexuals as troop
leaders.
And the justices will be producing decisions on other hotbutton matters they took up earlier in the term, which began last
October, including grandparents'
rights, federal regulation of
tobacco, nude dancing, federal

MIDDLETOWN,
(TMS)
Officials at Wesleyan
University have persuaded a junior there to drop his plans to produce a film showing students
having sex.
The student, Brian Brown,
found support from fellow students for the project, tentatively
titled "Wesporn," after posting
flyers on campus two weeks ago
that promised participants that
they would "get paid to get laid."
Brown's flier also stated that
the film was designed to "high

Wesleyan's
president,
Douglas J. Bennet, said the film
would compromise student safe-

"We want to create a climate
in which there is concern for
others' sensibilities and feelings," Bennet said after the

He and two of the universi-

Feb. 10 and made him listen to a
police audio report on a beating
of a female student by a group of
men recorded only a few days

suggested that the film could
make similar crimes on campus

Brown said he felt pressured
to abandon his project. He hopes
to get the student newspaper to

poll students' feelings about his
proposed work. If people on
campus endorse his vision or at
least don't object to it, he said he
may revive his filming.

Beware:
Landlords are wolves in sheep's clothing
Anyone who has ever met
me knows I'm the type of person
who is willing to give anyone the
benefit ofthe doubt. I've been
known to give people second
chances and sometimes even

third and fourth. It takes a lot of
disrespect for me and what I believe in order for me to want to
completely cut ties with a person.
No, I'm not talking about
guys because he's one of the
best.
And no. I'm not talking
about my friends because they
arc wonderful.
So, who am I talking about?

Landlords.

This article is essential to
anyone who is thinking about
moving off campus. There are
people out there who will try to
take advantage of you because
you are young and naive when it
comes to such things as renting

homes.

Don't get me wrong, I see

my landlord at least once a

month. Ok, so I only sec him
when he comes to pick up the
rent check or when he decides to
come into the house unan-

nounced early in the mornings
when he thinks no one is home
during Christmas Break.

You are undoubtedly going
have problems when you
move off campus. There arc going to be circumstances that you

to

arc going to encounter that you
will need the help of your landlord to fix. For example, the toilet my leak from the upstairs
bathroom into the living room or
it may just explode on regular

basis.

Sometimes, the water heater
may explode too, forcing you to
turn off your water and the heat
for an extended period of time.
And on a good day your kitchen
may reach a temperature where
you can no longer see your

breath.

So who do you turn to in situations like these. Well, it's supposed to be your landlord. But

often full of
empty promises they have no intention of keeping.
The only time he comes
around to help is after every person in your house has called four
or five times and you threaten to
call the zoning committee in
trust me, some are

town.

And when your electric bill

reaches over $400 in the same
month (this includes electricheat) in which the window pane
is broken and the water heater
breaks, don't even think of questioning him on it because his response may just be: "If they
don't like it, they can move out."
My advice to you is this: Before you sign the lease, ask the
current tenants

questions about

the house.
You are the one who is going

be living there for the next
year and you have every right to
know how the house is maintained and you should be aware
of what to expect after you sign
the lease.
to

So, as a favor to all the
prospective renters here are a
few questions I came up with for
you to ask the people who live
there. And don't do it in front of
the landlord.
1) How much has your highest electric bill been? (Mine has

been $463.50!)
2) Have you ever had any recurring problems with the
house? (Our bathroom is constantly leaking through our living room ceiling and we haven't
had our heat reach over 60 degrees in any room downstairs because the windows are so shabby
and although he promises to replace them, it hasn't been done.)
3) How efficient are his
handyman? (Ours, uses a rope to
hold his pants up. You want to
talk about plumber's crack, just
watch him. I don't know if he's

drunk or high, but he's never
sober when he comes. Plus,
we're just lucky if they show
up!)
4) Will the cock roaches eat
my food? (In a friend's house,
the kitchen is so infested they
can't cook...which is the only
reason why Bentley is still visited by upper-classmen.)
5) Do you know what your
landlord looks like and when
was the last time he came by?

(Another editor here said that he

lived in a house for a year and
never even saw his landlord

once, regardless of the fact that

his floor caved in.)
6) Does your landlord spend
more time at The Eagle than he
does anywhere else? (No one
wants their rent checks going to

(Many times,
landlords will let themselves in

having a key?

whenever they feel like it,
whether your dressed or not!)

Basically, there are millions
of questions you need to ask
when you are trying to find a
place to call home for the next
couple of months or maybe even
years.
Slumlords are out there and
the only way to find out if your
potential renter is one, is to ask
the people whoknow first hand.
But do keep in mind, people
change and situations change.
However, heed their warnings
because as we know, history is
doomed to repeat itself.
So, when you see the for rent
sign, before you even call , stop
in and find out what the place is

Megatouch.)
7) Will he take advantage of really like.

It has come time again for
those of you still living in the
dorms to look for an off-campus
place to live. Hopefully you have
already found one but if not, happy hunting.
I must say that moving offcampus was one of the best
moves I have ever made. Sure, I

left behind a lot of my friends

of all the sororities on campus.
Week after week there are articles published in
the school newspaper stating all the bad things
that happen as a result ofbeing part of these organizations, which in turn makes it hard for our

community to survive.
This past week an article was printed about a
sorority (which is not on this campus) who was
suspended for hazing. What exactly does that have
to do with Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania? Nothing. Although these articles are small
they are effective in making people think that all
we do is drink, have parties, and do a little hazing
in our spare time.
Did you all know that Sigma Kappa sorority
goes to Susqueview and visits with the residents?

Did you know that Tri Sigma sorority has an annual party with Big brothers/Big Sisters and has
been nationally recognized for supporting play

that Zeta Tau Alpha does a lot of work to build
breast cancer awareness? Did you know that the
annual Rock A Thon held by Alpha Sigma Tau
benefits the Hilton Safe House?
These are the things that should be publicized

Greek life is for everyone because it is not. But I

it is for them.

Advice to first years from a real know-it-all
Julie Chen

TMS Cam|

A few funny things happen
in college. You forget there are
four food groups. You start to
believe there's no such thing as a
maximum speed limit. Lifting
that six-pack suffices as exercise
and worshipping the porcelain
god becomes a weekend ritual.
And the recommended eight
hours of sleep'.' Doh.
Face it. you haven't exactly
become America's healthiest.
But no worries, a new course of
self-help is here at the brink of a
new century filled with promise.
Because your body is somewhat useful and may be necessary in the future, the following
lessons have been compiled as a
guide to. er. sort of take care of
that stunning body and sexy
mind of yours.
This collection of shortcuts
and ways to bend the rules with-

out breaking them is the result of
random research and the experience of trusted local experts.
May these efforts renew your
health and psyche. (Or, at least,
to your pre-hangover resilience.)
Think of them as New Year's

resolutions if you must.
Sorry, like your school's advisors,

the recommendations

given are not guaranteed to satisfy every customer.
Lesson 1: Hate to bust that
all-knowing bubble of wisdom,
but ethanol is not one ofthe food
groups. It will not build a dazzling smile or rejuvenate that
cranial muscle. So, to keep the
engine purring, give instant
shakes a try. A 10-ounce can of
just 200 calories packs in the
equivalent of a regular meal:
carbs. protein, all the good stuff
in one.
Might as well keep up with
the age of mergers and acquisitions, right? There are at least

three popular choices to choose
from: Slim-Fast, Success and
Boost. They vary slightly in
minerals and should average
about five bucks for a six-pack.
They last through at least two
classes and won't make you pec
half as much as coffee or the
other kind of six-packs.
Lesson 2: Learn the skill of
power-napping. But, urn, try not
to do it during class. Those who
have hung around the campus
the longest know what it entails.
The trick to maintaining sanity,
newbics, is over there beneath
that tree. See? And over there,
that limp body draped over the
couch in the student lounge?
And that lump beneath the jacket in the couch in the bathroom?

liven that curled up ball of matter passed out on the grass in the
courtyard?
They're not dead-just smart
cats grabbing a little shuteye.Other public places that
have been known to double as a

bed: the campus shuttle (if you
can ignore the swerving and the
abrupt stops of hapless drivers);
video-rooms at the library
(where you can easily lower the
volume to nil): the bench at the
bus stop (if you've acquired the
ability to nap upright); empty
classrooms (as long as you know
when to leave): and finally, even
the cafeteria. (Just try not to
drool.(However you can squeeze
in the sleep, get it. It's cheaper
than that cup of cappuccino.
Lesson 3: Stay active, and
that isn't in reference to scoring
on the first date. Whether staying in shape or still trying to
shed the Freshmen Fifteen,
you'll do wonders for your psyche by exercising. Your stress
level will drop faster than your
grade-point average ever will.

Promise

usual walkinstead-of-drive and take-thelong-way method. But, if there's
no time to hit the jogging trails
or visit the gym. here's another
way to increase the heart rale.
Ready? Set? Clean! Yes. clean,
Sure, there's the

defined as an adjective by Webster's Dictionary as "free of dirt,
germs, impurities, etc." The verb
form meaning to make clean.
Really, no joke. Going all out on
cleaning up your college crib scrubbing the blinds, vacuuming, ironing, organizing-will
make you sweat.
As funny as it sounds, cleaning will do your body good (almost better than milk), make
your mama proud, and might
prevent your (cleaner?) roommate from plotting your demise.
Hey macho men, this lesson applies to you, too, if not in particular.
Lesson 4: The idea of making the speed limit of Interstate
highways 85 mph is ONLY AN
IDEA and has not been legalized. Camouflage the bike helmet if that's what it takes. Do not
assume all motorists stop for
pedestrians. Laugh in the face of
danger if you will, but try not to
laugh too hard, OK? While there
is no trick to bypassing the cops
as you zip from point A to point
B within the city, there is hope
for those who occasionally drive

out-of-town.
A common observation is
that cops don't venture too far
from the city. Meaning, if you
must put the pedal to the metal
(though it's not encouraged), do

so out in the boonies. And don't
be too confident with those racial

detectors because cops have
radar-detector detectors.
And finally, lesson 5: Accept
the fact that you're getting older
and "mental notes'' cannot be relied on. Unless you're the robotic department's top-secret pro-

ject, realize that you'll probably
not remember all 50 items on

your to-do list.
Having said that, introduce
yourself to Post-it notes, perhaps

and even play dead.
Their resurgence on campus
has proven its effectiveness and
popularity, so don't get left out
on this one. Those little things
will save your buns, especially
when those birthdays roll

around.

By the time this paper is published, the Locker Room will

have held its Playboy-sponsored,
spring break party. As the campus representative for Playboy
who set this event up, it has been
interesting watching people's reaction to the whole idea.
There doesn't seem to be a
person on campus who hasn't
heard of the magazine, although
opinions widely varied. Generally, the name inspire a lustful
gleam in the eyes of men and a
sour look of disgust in women.
There, is no doubt about the
reason why Playboy causes such
controversies, and it is not the articles. Since the first issue where
Editor Hugh Hefner ran a picture
ofMarilyn Monroe, Playboy has
been noted for having beautiful,
nude women. It is that idea that
makes me wonder about our society today.
Opponents of selling pictures
of nudes are quick to point out
that, besides being morally
wrong from a religious stand
point, pornography objectifies
women. I don't think there is any
doubt that when a man looks at a
picture ofa naked woman, he is
objectifying her. Very rarely will
a man look at a centerfold and
think, "Hey, I wonder if she
shares the same hopes, fears and
goals in life as I do?"
But I begin to wonder the following two things from this: Will
men ever actually change, and is
it wrong for women to make a
profit offof male desires? While
1 am sure the religious right and
feminists will quickly answer yes
to both, I am not quite so certain.
Now, men certainly should
treat women as equals in life, but
there is no denying that sexually,
men are very body-oriented in

0

their interests. It is biological for
men to be attracted to women
who are young and beautiful. Is
it wrong for them to enjo) this

deep-seated desire?
A better question might be
how long are we going to live in
a society where pleasure is
wrong? We close our eyes and
pretend that sexual interest, lust
if you will, is not out there. Truth
is, lust is a powerful part of our
everyday lives. It sells goods and
motivates many of the decisions
we make.
As for the question of
whether or not it is right for
women to make a profit off of
their body, I ask, is it not then
body? If men are going to be
lustful and objectify women naturally, why shouldn't women
profit from it. Are we protecting
women or are we allowing the
same cycle of exploitation and
abuse to continue? Women might
be in a better position to control
the industry if so many handicaps were not in their way.
Because work related to sex
has been kept underground,
women have been exploited every which way. Perhaps if it was
treated more like a business
rather than a crime, women
might be better protected and

successful.
I think the question really is
why is it wrong for adults to enjoy life in a sexual fashion? I see
this beyond just women posing
for Playboy, but in life in general. It comes down to the right of
people to enjoy life as they want
to enjoy it.
What is it about the human
form that can turn rational, mature adults into blushing introverts? Perhaps it is just that loss
of composure that frightens people so much. In the end, I can only hope people will come to enjo) the body more and more.

LAY LOW WHEN THE COPS
ARE AFTER YOU

Keith Walentowski, who was wearing shorts despite the cold weather in
Virginia, thought nothing of talking to
a reporter on TV as part of a weather
feature. Big mistake.
The 30-year-old university student
was wanted by police on suspicion of
stealing some valuable baseball cards,
and cops do watch television sometimes. When he saw Walentowski's
name on the screen, investigator Alan
Moore said, "I think we have a warrant
for that guy." His arrest followed swiftly.

Responding to a report ofa burglary
at the home of a Supreme Court Justice,
police in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, sped
to the scene and chased the thieves

were foiled when the neighbor who

ACCENT ON AFFLECK
Ben Affleck was laying on the
charm Monday night.
While girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow
was off at the Berlin film fest, Affleck
was making the most ofValentine's Day
by flirting up a storm at the New York
premiere of "Boiler Room."
The actor was overheard asking a

Bob is "an extremely wealthy individual."
A lawyer for Sandy did not return a
call. Bob's attorney, David Aronson,
called the legal action "a minor dispute"
in an otherwise "amicable" split.
Bob now lives in Virginia with their
son. Bo, his new wife, Veronique, and a
1-year-old son. Sandy, we hear, has jettisoned snowboarder Steven Koch for a
Chicago boyfriend.

THE ART OF DIVORCE
Bob Pittman is a winner again. The
America Online president, whose fortunes skyrocketed on AOL/Time Warner merger news, just found out that his
ex-wife. Sandy, has to give back a
painting they once shared.
Sandy had refused to turn over a
work by Austrian figurative painter
Siegfried Anzinger, even though she
was required to do so under the couple's
1997 divorce deal.
According to court papers, she argued that Pittman no longer had dibs on
the canvas because he had "defaulted"
on their pact. She claimed he had not
paid her back for money she had expended on copying "certain photographs and videotapes" and had "only recently returned her personal property."
But Manhattan Supreme Court
Judge Marylin Diamond has ruled that,
even if Sandy's charges are true, she
doesn't have the right to "cancel their
contract."

SCOTCH THE VERSACE
Donatella Versace's cleavage-baring
outfits may be the perfect uniform for
Liz Hurley. (They're "like wearing a
spanking." said Hurley impersonator
Julianna Margulies on "Saturday Night
Live.") But Jerry Hall wasn't about to
let the designer tart her up at a Dublin
fashion show last Friday.
The coltish Texan bridled when she
took one look at the see-through Versace number she was expected to wear.
The Ford model demanded a tamer
dress, which she topped off with a
scene-stealing hat.

plot twists feel painfully contrived, and the insight and depth
of the portrayal ofthe mafia that

made "Analyze This" so believable is lacking here. The mob in
this flick is more of a caricature

than anything else, although
points could be granted for making this gang Hungarians rather
than the stereotypical Italians.
Since the script is so bland,
the actors and actresses involved
deserve some recognition for
bringing their characters to life,
especially since none of these
roles seem one-dimensional on
screen. Willis is highly believable as the cautiously friendly
Tudeski, and his performance
makes the unlikely friendship
between his and Perry's character resonate.
Perry, for one, has received
some criticism in the press for
taking roles that are strikingly
similar. While he plays the same
swarmy, bumbling character
here, it actually fits this film,
making his performance almost

perfect. Kevin Pollak gives a hilariously understated turn as the
head of the Hungarian mob, and

1 UHlN"

Amanda Peet
inhabits her role as a hitwomanin-training without visible effort.
The only real disappointment in
this cast is Natasha Henstridge,
who as Tudeski's estranged wife,
is flat and unemotional.
If it's difficult to determine at
this point whether or not " The
Whole Nine Yards" is worth
y our whole seven dollars, let me
say this: It ain't "Pulp fiction,"
but it made for an enjoyable afternoon at the movies. True, it's
typical Hollywood fluff, but it's
pretty entertaining fluff.
For something with a lack of
revelation, it is surprisingly
adept at being conventual. Legendary screenwriter and sometimes-critic William Goldman
once said that when he goes to
movies, all he asks is that he be
entertained. On that point, at,
least, "Hie Whole Nine Yards"
goes the distance.

50 degree temperatures this
week. But something is definitely changing.
Last year we blamed it all on
"El Nino", but what do we
blame "El Nino" on? I think we
all know the answer: global
warming.

It's time to look at the "Big
Picture" and think about ways

we can try to ensure that we have
a safe and healthy earth to live
offof in the years to come.
I'm handing my space over to
a guest writer this week. Mauro
Garcia dropped off this article in

The Eagle Eye office at the beginning of the semester. It's definitely worth reading. Enjoy!

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Meteorological Office of the United
Kingdom reported 1999 as the
hottest year since the records began in 1659.
The long-term warming trend
has not changed, and it is expected to continue to increase if actions are not taken.
A serious problem that affects humans as a result of the
greenhouse effect is that our
planet is more vulnerable to environmental disasters: from
catastrophic Hoods to severe
droughts, excessive heat to extreme cold.
In recent years, these disasters affected several countries

around the world, killing thousands of people and causing losses of billions of dollars.
Just in the United States,
record-high temperatures have
been registering in Chicago, Illinois and Washington, DC. since
1995. Droughts occurred in the
Southern Plain in 1996. Severe
floods affected the Ohio River,
the Pacific Northwest and North
Plains in 1997.
Furthermore, scientists have

We have already arrived at

the year 2000, and does it really
have any special significance?
Yes, it does.

Our planet is suffering the
fastest climate changes ever experienced in all of history. This
is evidence that we are approaching one of the most serious envi-

established that Global Warming
is causing other phenomena such
as the spread of lethal viruses
that in the past only occurred in
tropical areas. Some examples
are the outbreaks of malaria,

dengue, cholera and the Nile
virus that invaded New York
City last summer.
Significant alterations in the
distribution of fresh water supplies, the productivity in agriculture, and the destruction of our
ecosystems are among other consequences of the increasing concentrations of gases in our atmosphere.
The most comprehensive
study that found evidence linking Global Warming to these situations was the 1995 Intergov-

ronmental problems that has
been scientifically denominated,
global warming. Despite its severe effect on human life,it is being underrated and overlooked.

The
amount of carbon dioxide, between 190 and 280 parts per mil-

lion, could only be found in the

atmosphere 160,000 years ago,
when the planet was a very different place than it is now.
The overheating of the
Earth's surface has caused the
Polar Ice Cap to melt, which in
turn caused the sea level to increase four to ten inches. It is
believed that the sea level will
continue to rise incrementally 95
inches in the next century, causing major destruction of coastal
property.

Scientists have pointed out

that developed countries are
mainly responsible for global
warming. The massive global
industrialization in this affluentenergy era, in addition to the uncontrolled deforestation of areas

for agriculture, has increased

greenhouse gas emissions signif-

icantly.

An inherent factor that greatly influences this problem is the

overpopulation of the world. In
1900 we were 1 billion, today we
are 6 billion. It is expected that
by 2025 we will be 8 billion.
In response to this serious environmental issue, environmentalists and the governments of
developing countries have urged
developed countries to take action to reduce their emissions of
greenhouse gases.
Unfortunately, global warming is usually in direct opposition
to another very important factor
in developed countries: economic growth. Dealing with global
warming requires a reduction in

the carbon dioxide emissions,

but the intention of today's countries is to increase the production

to meet the demands of the

growing society.
Certainly, the discussions
have had to consider how to reduce pollution without disturbing the economy's growth.
The first formal step taken to
deal with global warming, after

the United Nations Conference
on Environmental Development

in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, was a
meeting in Kyoto, Japan in 1997.
During this convention, environmentalists asked developed

countries to reduce their amounts
of greenhouse gas emissions.
The United States, which has
been the highest polluter with
nearly a third of the world's output of carbon dioxide, pledged to
reduce its emissions. However,
since that time and despite the
agreement, the United States'
greenhouse gas emissions have

increased in recent years.
In a second effort to attack

problem, last
November environmental ministers from 178 countries called for
a second meeting in Bonn, Germany to reach a final agreement
to reduce the emissions of such
gases.
This time, governments from

Cambodia, Vietnam,
Bangladesh and many other developing countries fiercely complained about the recent floods
India,

and other environmental disasters that devastated their countries.
On this occasion, the United
States wanted the unlimited right
to pay other developed countries
to reduce their greenhouse gas
emissions. This action would
cover the amounts that the
world's highest polluter is required to reduce. However, it
would relieve the U.S. of its obligation to help the environment.
The chance to reach a final
agreement was delayed again,
because U.S. politicians said that
the presidential elections will be
in 2000 and environmental protection is hardly a vote grabber
among the American electorate.
The global warming issue
has moved to the presidential
agenda. However, despite all of
the knowledge about this phe-

The day had begun like most
other first days. My alarm clock
went off at approximately 4:30
a.m. and I was pretending to

can't sleep the night before the
first day.
After three cups of coffee
and a quick stop for breakfast,
my two older brothers, Mike
and Jimmy, and my father and I
had arrived at our traditional

Sure enough, he came dragging a fat half-rack huck. The
buck appeared just as I had pre-

dicted: it stopped in the middle

of the logging road where Mike
got a clean shot.
All he had to offer me was a
hot cup of Joe and some old
soup that his wife had prepared.
Needless to say. I had an uneventful first day after that.
This is not the first time that
a situation like this has happened
to me.
My oldest brother, Jimmy,
arrived at our Butler County
home for a bow hunt in the first
week of October. After shooting our bows and exchanging
small talk, we decided to try our
luck.

I gave my brother specific
directions. I told him to walk
down the logging road about 100
yards until he came to the
biggest tree on the path. He was

supposed to lean up against the

front of him for approaching
deer.
I also reminded him that deer
would come from behind and
they would stop before crossing
the log road. This would be his
first chance at identifying a buck
and possibly getting a shot.
It was now about twenty after seven, and three shots rang
out from my brother's direction.
The shots were so close that I

At first light we were up the

more blood than we thought we

After following a short blood

we were home just in time for

Farrow named Athlete of the Week
Freshman Jennifer Farrow was recently

February 17.
Farrow led the Lady Eagles at the
Bucknell Winter Classic on Saturday.
February 12. winning the 400 meters in a
school-record time of 59.23 seconds. She
also had an eighth place clocking of 27.05
in the 200 meters, eclipsing LHU's fouryear-old record. In addition, she ran the
lead-off leg for the Lady Eagles 1600-meter relay team, which also finished eighth.
In five meets this season. Farrow has
shattered four school records, including the
60-metcr dash, 200-meter dash and the
400-meter dash on two occasions. Just recently at Saturday's Kane Invitational at
Cornell University, she led the 1600-meter
relay team to destroy their own school
mark, that they set a few weeks ago, by

nearly seven seconds.
Farrow and the rest of the men's and
women's indoor track teams will return to

vaulter, J.J. Held, can attest to
that theory after her showing at
Cornell University's Robert
Kane Invitational, where the
men's and women's indoor track
teams competed Saturday.
The coaches were not expecting Held to compete at all due to
knee troubles she was having
prior to the meet, but she decided to jump into competition at
the last minute.
Held overcame the pain,
clearing nine feet, 10 inches for
a fifth place finish and shattered
the pole vault record, for the third
time this season.
Her vault, which set the new
school record by 10 inches, nearly missed the qualifying standard
for the NCAA Division II National Indoor Championships of
10 feet, two inches.
"She had three really strong
attempts at 10 feet, four inches,"
said Assistant Coach Aaron Russell, "but couldn't uuite set that
qualifying height."
Held and the other vaulters

in the conference have the indoor
facilities to practice in, while
ours are forced to use the competitions on the weekend to practice vaulting."
Also claiming school records
for the women were both relay
teams, both of which previously
held the existing record, set earlier in the season.
Freshmen Jen Farrow and Er-

ica Aagre teamed with juniors

Briana Winkler and Marsha
Krysiewski to destroy their previous time in the 1,600-meter relay by nearly seven seconds.
Their time of 4:11.67 put them in
fifth place in the event.
Also breaking their own previously set school mark, the
3.200-meterrelay team of Katie
Olsen, Jessica Stoltzfus, Meghan
Johnson and Katrina Brown
edged iheik school record with a

time of 10:24.12. good enough
for fourth place.
In the 55-meter dash, Farrow
and Winkler took third and
fourth-place finishes, respectively, with times of 7.56 and 7.57
seconds.

The men's team did not come
home with any school records
this time but had some very notable performances.
Sophomore Rob Mortensen
stepped onto the track to run his
first mile since last season. After
trailing Pcnn State's Chris
McGuinness for most of the race,
Mortensen put on a strong push
at the end in attempt to overtake

the fatigued McGuinness. but
came up short, finishing second
with a time of 4:19.89.
"I could see that he
(McGuinness) was beginning to
die," said Mortenscn. "If the
race had just been 50 meters
longer, I would have been able to
beat him."

McGuinness would also beat
Bald Eagle Steve Moyer in the

Junior Jonathan Chichilitti
ran a personal best time of 6.65
in the 55-meter dash, missing the
school record by just one hundredth of a second.
Chichilitti also finished the
200 meters in fifth place with a
time of 22.93, just missing his
own school record that he set at
Pcnn State a few weeks ago.
"We had a lot of kids that

they usually wait until ECACs to
get sick, so they'll get it all out of

the way now."

"We finished the season with

individuals.
As for financial assistance, it
must be awarded based on the
number of male and female athletes. Then there is the selection
of sports and level of competition, which must accommodate

the students' interests and abilities.
Title IX covers a variety of
other items as well, including
and
supplies,
equipment
scheduling of games and practice
time, travel and per diem allowances, opportunity to receive
academic tutoring, opportunity
to receive coaching, assignment
and compensations, locker
rooms, practice and competitive
facilities, medical and training

facilities and services, housing
and dining facilities and services,
publicity, support services and
recruitment of student-athletes.
"I think the whole Title IX
has turned into a proportionality
issue, cutting male sports instead
of adding female sports," said
Lock Haven coach Carl Poff,
who coached McMann this year.

"I would welcome a woman's
team here at Lock Haven or anywhere else."

Wrestling now is one of the
fastest growing women's sports.
The trouble is, many females
wrestle on male teams, which
means that they have to compete

with men at meets ifthey want to

wrestle. Currently, only two
states have high school sanc-

tioned girl's wrestling - Hawaii
and Texas. They hold a girl's

year.
"I would say it's the fastest
rising women's sport," said Bailo. "The hype of the women's
World Cup (soccer) team has
helped that and all women's
sports."
"I found that it certainly isn't
for everybody. The athletes that
do it are dedicated," said Poll'.
"There's a world championship
for them and it's going to be an
Olympic sport in 2004. The
numbers are increasing at a rapid
pace."
Bailo is hoping his tournament can really give women's
wrestling a boost. He is estimating around 500-600 total competitors and anywhere from 60100 at the college level. Schools
such as New York University,

Bailo. "If you were to survey 100

wrestling, you may get ten that

it and made it all girls, just like
the boys, same structure, sched-

ule and facilities, they'd come

That is what Bailo and many
women's wrestling advocates arc

pushing for, not making women
wrestle men. On March 25-26, it
is exactly what they are aiming
for at the USWWA Championships. It will be folk style, the
traditional way.

Haven University's
Sara McMann took to the mats
in an exhibition showdown during the match against Bucknell.
Her performance demonstrated
why women's wrestling is now
starting to take off.
At the high school and collegiate levels, females are now
competing regularly in wrestling.
And not just at the women taking
on men matches that are looked
down upon. These are fullfledged tournaments for women.
Coming up in March is the first
Women's National Collegiate
Wrestling Championship, being
held in Lake Orion, Mich.
According to Ken Bailo, the
director and founder of the United States Women's Wrestling Association (USWWA), there are
an estimated 5,000 females
wrestling at all levels. Currently
however, there are only three
college wrestling programs running.
Those three are Cumberland
College, of Williamsburg, Ky.,
Missouri Valley, of Marshall,
Mo., and the University of Minnesota at Morris. The first two
are competing in their first season, while Minnesota-Morris is
in it's fourth year.
Bailo said that Missouri Valley is currently the team to watch
in women's wrestling. They have
about 24 girls in their program
while Morris has 14 and Cumgender ratio.

wrestling, the first being the
style. The women wrestle
freestyle and the men, traditional
folk style. There are different
points and rules in each, which
make it rough on a coach that
handles both teams. Many colleges have to hire new staff to
adapt to the freestyle.
"I'm adamant that women's
wrestling is going to gain a
foothold and become equal to
men's, we need to use the same
rules and the same number of
weight classes," Bailo said.
"Currently, the women use
freestyle and that's only six
weight classes."
Women's wrestling is coming
on strong, and it may in part be
due to the help of Title IX, the
landmark ruling from 1972. Title
IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 is legislation that
bans sex discrimination in
schools, whether it is in academics or athletics.
Title IX states: "No person in
the U.S. shall, on the basis of sex
be excluded from participation
in, or denied the benefits of, or be
subjected to discrimination under
any educational program or activity receiving federal aid."
This forced schools all over
the country to re-structure their
athletic programs. Title IX oversees the treatment and opportunity in athletics, while giving
schools flexibility to choose
sports based on interest, geographic influence, budget and

Women's basketball added

another loss to their record
Wednesday night as Indiana University of Pennsylvania handed
them a 78-51 defeat at Thomas
Field House.
Even before the game started
the order seemed pretty tall for
the Haven. IUP came into the
game with a 21-3 record and
ranked first in NCAA II East region. The young Lady Eagles
came in with a 7-17 record and
no ranking.
At 19:26 Shawna Boyd put in
a crafty reverse lay-up to tie the
score at two, and that was the
closest the game was all night.
In the first eight minutes the Lady Eagles scored only four
points, while IUP managed to
dump in 17. The trapping pressure used by the Indians disrupted The Haven's offense, and
never allowed them to get into a
consistent rhythm.
LHU's defense picked up the
intensity and caused IUP to turn
the ball over 12 times in the first
half. However, the Lady Eagles
missed too many opportunities to
draw the game in close, and went
into halftime down 38-23.
The second half turned out to
be much like the first. Boyd
made her first shot of the half at
18:20, but an Indian three-pointer quickly answered it. With five
minutes gone Brianna Bair,
made a clever back door cut, but
missed a wide open open lay-up.
IUP then ran the ball down court
and put in an easy shot putting
the score at 49-29.
That was the way it went the
entire evening as IUP's depth
proved to be too much for The
Haven in the second half. The
Indians constantly cycled in
fresh legs to run at the tiring Lady Eagles. With six minutes left
in the game, Indiana went on a
15-6 run to end the game 78-51.
Lock Haven grabbed only 11
boards in the second half, and
giving up just as many second
chances to the Indians was detrimental. Both teams combined
for 53 turnovers.
