member's emergency operation. However,
Knerr said HAC is working on getting
smaller groups into the University for coffee house productions and is working with

Club Fair turnout questionable
by Roger Fenstermacher
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
The Spring '97 Club Fair had 45 represented clubs and organizations. The purpose of the fair was to give campus clubs
and organizations recognition and to try to
boost student awareness of the many different organizations on campus.
There were several campus visitations
that came through the Parsons Union
Building (PUB), the location of the club
fair, during the event.
According to Kat Ottomanelli, organizer of the club fair, the visitations passing
through helped to promote the University,
showing that there is a wide variety of
activities that University students can
become involved with.
Several of the parents and potential students showed interest in organizations.
Danette Hartzell of the women's rugby
club said that most of the students that
came through were there at lunch time.
The lobby of the PUB was crowded.
according to Cara Rogers, a Student
Cooperative Council senator. She said it
only looked crowded because it was such a
small area to hold the event in.
However, she said, "It's good th d the
clubs are trying to represent theiiiseIves,
but attendance is poor. People don't have
time."
Ottomanelli said that she wanted to
hold the fair before spring break so that
organizations did not forget about it in the
excitement and hustle of leaving for spring
break.

lUP student
commits suicide
[INDIANA - An lUP student killed himself after he accidentally shot and wounded his fraternity brother around 3 a.m. on
February 28.
Timothy Foreman, 21, shot Dennis
Schrecengost, a fellow lUP student in the
stomach after coming home from a night
of drinking, according to Indiana County
Coroner Thomas Streams.
When Foreman returned to the offcampus apartment he shared with several
brothers, he discovered someone had
take;n the sandwich he had in the refrigerator, and he picked up a 9mm pistol, the
coroner, said.
According to Streams, "(Foreman)
jokingly said, 'I'm going to cap you guys
for eating my sandwich.'" He aimed at a
silhouette target on the wall and pulled the
trigger. The bullet hit the target's edge
and went through the wall, hitting the
sleeping Schrecengost in the abdomen.
After learning what had happened,
Forfepan put the gun to his own temple
and pulled the trigger. He was pronoimoed dead at Indiana Hospital at 4:40
a.m.

Dear Editor:
As an upperclassman who knows firsthand that internships are an integral part of
the learning process, I feel that the students
of Lock Haven University have an exciting
opportunity available to them by the
University and the State System of Higher
Education (SSHE).
The Harrisburg Internship Semester
(THIS), of which I participated in last
semester, is a 15-credit internship based in
the upper reaches of state government that
provides enriching and rewarding experience for students of all majors.
As a journalism major, I interned in the
press office of First Lady Michele Ridge
and was able to see policy making as well
as the day-to-day aspects of state government in action. Other interns through the
program have been placed at the
Department of Environmental Protection,
the Governor's Policy Office, the Center
for Rural Pennsylvania and the Office of
the Speaker of the House.
Applications for next year's placements
(one intern for each fall and spring semester) will soon be accepted. Please contact

Dear Editor:
This is a response to the March 7 letter
by Beth Gundel entitled, "Glitches in the
library system frustrate student," in which
Gundel complains about the scanning system at the front door of the library, and the
bar code system in all library books.
I am a student employee at the library
and I have heard that alarm go off many
times myself. Whenever it does, I thoroughly check the individual's bags and
make sure there are no unauthorized materials in them. 1 have never observed a fellow student employee not check a bag,
and/or do so with any less thoroughness as
1.
The magnetized scanner at the front
door is very helpful in deterring theft.
Students should embrace its use because
it's in their interests that the books the
library does have, stay in the library.
Gundel also complained about the bar
code system in the library materials. The
computer does not make up any input on its
own. The only reason it would read that
she checked out a book is because someone
scanned her ID into the computer and then
scanned the book's barcode. Nobody but
library employees have access to this system, and believe me, we have much better
things to do with our time then scan in
books to student's ID numbers, and then
watch them come into the library complaining that they never took the book out.
This is another system that students
should feel safe to have in place. It is
another great deterrent of theft, and cuts
time and costs to operate the circulation in
the library. The only people that seem to
have problems with the system are those
who have overdue books and get citations
in the mail. It is then that people whine and
complain that they never took out the book.
It's a mistake! I was framed I tell you!
The library has always been, and will
always be, a service to the students who
use it correctly and a crutch to those who
don't.
Sincerely,
Brian P. Ploskina

Campus Security:
Protecting the fact
that they have
nothing to do
Dear Editor:
When you think of the number 710
what is the first thing you think of?. To a
non-motorist student it is just another number, but if you are a motorist parking on
campus it is a financial nightmare.
I am sure any student with a oarking
decal knows "officer" 710 or some other
"officer" with a three digit identification
number. When I first came to this school I
thought the bookstore was the biggest
money making racket on campus, but I was
wrong. I found an even bigger racket:
parking citations. The security and safety
officers do not look up from their hand-held
ticket machines long enough to be of any
good.
Moreover, who are they securing and
protecting? The main question I have is
where does this money go? Does the
money go to financial ventures like the
LHU POLICE assault cruiser, which is
aimed at securing and protecting any student who has or has not committed a traffic
violation? There is no question that parking violations issued should be included in
the annual campus [jolice report, because
without a doubt this number would be disprojwrtionate to the number of students
attending.
In short, the issue of campus security,
carrying firearms was raised last semester.
At first the idea seemed ridiculous, but I
now understand their |X)int of view. They
need something to protect themselves from
angry confrontations with motorists who
are being ripped off.
Sincerely,
Andrew Smith

Chris Nagy for SCC president?
Welcome back to the lovely confines of
Lock Haven University and the rest of the
semester. We are past the half way mark in
the semester, we are getting into that home
stretch and summer break is almost here.
Tales has two, that's right TWO, announcements to make this week and they are very
important. Also Tales is refreshed from a
very relaxing spring break. (I was at a nudist colony with Rush Limbaugh, Ross Perot
and Howard Stern...Oh Joy.) So on to this
week's program of fun and adventure.
It is that time of year again, kiddies. It
is that time of year when the 400 or so people who care about what happens at this
University go out and vote for President,
Vice-President and Treasurer of the Student
Cooperative Council (SCC). This time of
year brings a smile to my face because I
love sitting on the sidelines and throwing
my political two-cents around like it mat-
ters. There has been a rumor going around
about me running for the position of SCC
President. I have given that idea a lot of
thought and I know a lot of people are reading this article to see if it is going to happen. Well, I talked to my political advisors
and my staff, I
consulted
with
friends and I even
had a conversation with the one
and
only
"Screaming
Jesus" about this
and I have come
to the decision that I will not be running for
SCC president. This decision might make
me sound like a hypocrite but let me
explain. I would love and cherish the
opportunity to serve the students of Lock
Haven University as their president but I
believe I can make a bigger impact here on
the sidelines. I have made my decision, be
it a tough one, and I am going to stand by
it. Maybe I will run for University president next year....Hmmm there's a thought.
Now we go onto my favorite pastime,
complaining about the
SCC. The SCC passed
a bill a couple of weeks
ago that raised the student activity fee for
next semester. Now
here is a surprise, I was
all for this raise because
the SCC needs money
to fund all the clubs that they are currently
recognizing. This was a good idea, too bad
nobody else knew about it. This is where I
have to put my foot down. The SCC should
have advertised this bill a little bit better.
Not a lot of students knew about it. I know
it was in the Eagle Eye and the senators
knew about it. Too bad most of their constituents did not know about it. An information center would have been a great idea,
because even if a lot of people did not
attend there would have been advertising
about the session, which means there would
have been advertising for the Student
Activity Fee Bill. The SCC did a good
thing with this bill, they just should have
went the extra mile for the students they are
supposed to be representing. (Tell me again
why 1 am not running for SCC President.)

Summer. It's already titne to think about it and
figure out how you'll use your time. Sure, you can
spend it in a chair by the pool. But it's even more
cool to get credit. Summer course credits from
Millersville University will probably transfer to your
college-it's worth checking out-and if Millersville is
nearby for you, a day or evening class will take just a few
weeks (not even all summer). At the end of summer, you'll be a
few important credits closer to your academic goals.
That's as cool as it gets!

Haven Activity Council (HAC) has concluded their voting for a spring concert but
found out that none of the bands that won
could come to lovely Lock Haven
University. Now before everybody thinks I
am going to destroy HAC and the concert
committee, you are wrong. I am actually
coming to the defense of HAC. The chairman of the concert committee did his
homework on all the acts he said he would
be able to bring to LHU. It was not his fault
that Jewel went ahead and won a Grammy
and the other acts changed their tour plans.
HAC then turned around and planned this
event with smaller bands and comedians
which will probably be more fun than going
to see a big name act. I have to take my hat
off to HAC and the concert committee for
trying to do the right thing but ending up
doing the better thing for Lock Haven. So
before you go and criticize them for no concert, try to understand the situation first I
did and that's why I applaud what they are
now trying to do.
I have promised you all another
announcement and here it is...Tales from
the Hard Side is going on hiatus with a new
column taking its place. This column will
be cutting edge on campus views and issues
and will be almost as fun to read as this column has been. Do not worry faithful reader. Tales will be back in a couple weeks
with a lot of pent up anger, probably aimed
at the new SCC President, Vice-President
and Treasurer.
That about wraps up this week's edition. Stay safe and keep your eyes pealed
for the new column appearing in this spot
next week and for Tales grand Re-Opening

Opinion/Editorial
Writing Emphasis Program important for every major
Dear Editor:
Thanks to the Eagle Eye and reporter
Deborah Ewald for the feature story on
LHU's Writing Emphasis Program. As the
story pointed out, W.E. courses offer students an opportunity to enhance their writing ability—an ability that is increasingly
important in today's job market. W.E.
classes give students the chance to build on
skills they
mastered
in
freshman
Composition and to learn to write effectively in a variety of disciplines. Explaining the
W.E. program just before students begin
fall course selection made your story especially timely; now when students see
"W.E." next to a course title in the Fall
Master Schedule, they will know the designation signals an emphasis on writing.
I would like, however, to clarify a couple of points. First, the courses with the
W.E. designation are obviously not the only
courses that require writing; various kinds
of writing assignments are a part of many,
many other courses in our curriculum.
Labeling a course or section "W.E." is simply that professor's affirmation that writing
and writing instruction will be emphasized
and valued in that class, and that students
will be given the opportunities to practice
and develop their writing skills. W.E.
courses do not necessarily require long
papers—and they do not necessarily require
more writing than courses without the W.E.
designation. They do emphasize writing as
part of the course activities, and some type
of writing instruction is included.
Secondly, the writing instruction in a W.E.
class is not necessarily a part of course lectures; some W.E. faculty teach writing in
One other point of clarification: the Art
Department was one of the "pioneers" in
LHU's Writing Emphasis program and has
been offering W.E. courses since the program's start in 1981, along with the
Departments of Biological Sciences;
Chemistry; English; Elementary and
Secondary
Education; Geology and
their disciplines through conferences, modeling, guest speakers or referral to various
campus resources, including the Writing
Center. Sometimes, W.E. courses have limited enrollment, making individual help
with writing assignments more likely, and
students are often encouraged to revise
their writing.
Physics; Health and Physical Education;
History; Political Science and Economics;
Journalism, Mass Communication, and
Philosophy; Music; Psychology; Special
Education and Early Childhood Education;
and Speech Communication and Theatre.
Over the years they have been joined by the
Departments of Academic Development
and Counseling; Computer Science,
Management and Accounting; Recreation;
and Sociology, Anthropology, Social Work
and Geography.
Students may take W.E. courses as part
of their General Education requirements or
as part of their major. W.E. courses in a
student's major have the added be.efit of
emphasizing the special requirements for
competent writing in the chosen profession.
All W.E. courses show the W.E. designation on the transcript, which can mean a
chance to point out a highly desirable skill
during a job interview.
Here's my message to all students: look
for the W.E. courses on the Fall 1997
Master Schedule and consider making writing emphasis part of your fall course selection. If your writing skills have j»otten
rusty, a W.E. course can help you tt.' polish
them; and if you consider yourself a highly
skilled writer, a W.E. course can give you a
chance to shine. As the Eagle Eye story
pointed out, help and support—as well as
praise—are always available at the Writing
Center.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Perry
Chair, University Writing Committee
Rumors and gossip can harm everyone

Lately I saw the impact of a rumor and
although I will not tell you what it was, I
will explain what kind of damage our big
mouths can cause. I wish to discuss reputation, education and one's views of the
world.
Reputation in this world is everything.
Those who disagree have not lived outside
of the bubble their whole life. It is stated
that we begin to develop a reputation with
others when we first meet, and that reputation sticks. I will argue that reputation
begins at least 40 percent of the time before
the actual meeting takes place. How does
this happen you may wonder? By the direction of this article it should be easy to see
where I am leading. It starts from the gossip you have heard. For example, many of
you that read this column have not met me
in person. Yet, I would venture to guess
that some of you have heard something
about me before. Depending on what you
have been told, you read this with a certain
mind set, be it good, bad or indifferent.
What if what you were told about me
was not true? Suppose that you were told I
was a sexist, racist, drunk, stubborn, stupid,
ugly, compulsive and untruthful person,
you would view this column with a bias.

Our view of the world is solely depen-

is not a human who has ever been completely objective. We attach what we see
and do with what we hear before we see the

biased world. 1 know no other world, you
could not possibly describe your world to
me.
However, if you feel someone is a
credible source you will allow that person
to distort your world. It does not matter
what the truth is. When it comes to reputation it only matters what you believe.
Philosophically speaking, you and I are
in our own worlds. Therefore, our perceptions are the truth, not the facts, not the
past, but simply what we know as truth.
Next time you hear a good juicy rumor
at least take the time, if it means anything to
you, to verify it. If it does not mean anything to you, let it die, do not pass it on,
since you could possibly cause a great deal
of harm.

Actor brings Mark Twain to life on stage
by BUI Hetler
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Mark Twain has risen from the dead, or
so it seemed Wednesday evening, March 5,
at Price Auditorium after the very popular
Michael Mauldin gave an incredible performance based on the highly acclaimed lecture tour that Twain took in 1905 in front of
an audience of 140.
The likeness that was created through
three hours worth of make-up along with a
flawless [terformance, allowed the audience
to feel as though science found a way to resurrect Mark Twain. Mauldin did a stand-up,
one-man act, re-creating an image of Twain
complete with white suit, mustache,
shocked white hair and cigar.
Throughout the entire performance, the
audience listened to many of the humorous
speeches that Twain gave during his 1905
tour. Mauldin opened the act with a Twain
compliment. "I keep my compliment collection ready, for myself of course."
He went on to explain that he is among
the two World's Most Remarkable Men.
"There are two men in the world most
remarkable. Kipling is one. I'm the other.
He knows all that can be known, and 1 know
all the rest," he said.
Twain spoke of the time when he came
upon, a beach where young native women
were bathing in the ocean. "Well, I thought
it was my duty to make sure no one could
steal their clothes, so I went over and sat on
them," he said.
The entire lecture was full of laughter
except when he spoke of the love of his life,
Olivia. He said, "1 met her, promptly fell in
love with her, and two years later, married
her. Now that sounds easy and uncomplicated; it wasn't. There were three of four
proposals and just as many refusals."
During this part of the speech, the drop of a
pin could have been heard throughout the
entire, silent auditorium. Twain knew at this
point in his lecture that he had the complete
attention of his audience.
Twain also talked about the fact that he
did not mind getting old. He described
some of what he claimed to be his "good
habits:" smoking, swearing and drinking
two hot scotches each night before bed to
prevent toothaches.
"You can not reach old age by any other
man's road. You have to make your own set
of rules and stick to them," Twain advised
the audience. "If you can't make it to old
age by a comfortable road, don't go."
Later on, Twain talked about the human
race during his speech. He said, "As you've
probably noticed, the human race is a
curiosity. Men started a little lower than
angels and have been getting a little lower
ever since. I wonder if God invented man
because he was disappointed in the monkey."
Mauldin, the person who perforns as
Twain, said, "Twain never knew what he
was going to say during his lectures. He
would simply get on stage and just speak to
the audience. All of the stories I told today
were stories that he told during his tour.
When I perform them, I try to make them
seem as though I am coming up with the
topics of conversation as the play goes on,
just as he did it."
Carla Basile, who organized the show at
the University, said of the performance, "He
is a wonderfully talented actor and we are
very fortunate to have had him here."
Mauldin put on a wonderful performance and did not fall short of making the
audience feel as though the actual Mark
Twain was before them.

After three hours of makeup to reproduce the image of Mark Twain
himself, actor Michael Mauldin performed speeches given by Twain
on his 1905 Tour.

well done. The composite city scenes are
almost flawless and the new Jabba the Hutt

The new space footage is probably the best

ships move quicker and with more realism.
Some of the added scenes and shots could
have been left out. While it was nice that
they cleaned up the films, they probably
should have just left it at that. The new
scenes are distracting and somewhat pointless. Part of the charm of the original trilogy was that the films were so spare when it
came to the story. The story was wel'-developed, but we only saw exactly what we
needed. Now there are little extranedus
shots that are neat but absolutely useless.
So, in the end, the Special Edition is cool,
but Lucas should have just let the movies
stand. A nice rerelease would have done
nicely.

Grapplers eani EWL championship title
14 Eagle Eye Friday, March 21, 1997
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Last December Head Coach Carl Poff
and his LxKk Haven University wrestlers sat
down and laid out three simple goals for the
1996-97 wrestling season.
First was to win the PSAC
Championship in January, their second
straight PSAC title.
Been there.
Second was to win the University's first
ever Eastern Wrestling league (EWL) title
in March.
Done that.
Third was a top ten finish at the NCAA
Division I National Championships this
weekend at The University of Northern
Iowa.
Working on that.
Lock Haven is heading into the heartland of America on a mission with seven
wrestlers, six of whom made the EWL
finals.
Making the trip to the land of wheat and
corn are: seniors, Mike Geurin, Mike
Rogers, Brian Leitzel and Cary Kolat;
junior, Neil Barnes; and sophomores Mike
Kusick and Terry Showalter. Everyone
except for Barnes has been in this position
before and they are all looking to make their
mark at nationals.
"It's going to take all seven guys to contribute if we're going to place in the top
ten," said Poff. "We are going to focus on
individual efforts, making sure everyone
wrestles as well as they can. If they do, then
the team goals will take care of themselves."
Leading the way for team Lock Haven is
defending National Champion Cary Kolat.
Kolat, who won the title at 134 last year
goes for the 142 title and his fourth straight
All-American showing this year.
Kolat is ranked number one by Amateur
Wrestling News (AWN) and is undeafted
this season at 20-0. Kolat is fresh off his
second straight EWL title and EWL
Outstanding Wrestler award.
Kolat is looking to grab the one award
he has not received yet to top off his amazing collegiate career. Outstanding Wrestler
at the National Tournament.
"With all the pressure and expectations
he faced last year, Cary got a big monkey off
his back by winning the championship,"
said Poff. "If he can stay relaxed and
focused this year, he'll do fine."
The only thing that has eluded Mike
Rogers in his career at Lock Haven is a
National Championship. Rogers is a fourtime PSAC Champion, a feat only nine others wrestlers have accomplished, a two-time
EWL Champion, over 100 wins for his
career and winner of the Gregorian Award at
last year's NCAA championships. Rogers is
currently ranked fifth by AWN at 150
pounds and is making his third appearance
at Nationals, hoping to repeat his All-
American status from last year.
Rogers is in the toughest bracket of the
championship with two former National
Champions. One of those being Lincoln
McLiravey who defeated Rogers last
December. Even with the tough bracket
Rogers looks like he is on his way to another All-American performance and, with a
break, could surprise some people.
Mike Geurin won his third EWL
Championship and also has three PSAC
Championships under his belt.
Geurin, who was an All-American for
the Haven last year, is ranked seventh at 177
with a 25-2 record. "I look at the 177 poun^l
class as the most wide open a class that I've
seen at nationals in some time. If Mike gets
a good draw he can go all the way," commented Poff.
Senior captain, Brian Leitzel, ranked
tenth at 158 by AWN, has a record of 24-7
and is making his third trip to nationals.
"Brian will have to beat some good
wrestlers to become an All-American, but
he stayed close with Tony Robie at EWLs,

(Photo by Chris Nagy) he knows he can compete with the top
wrestlers in the country," said Poff.
The hottest wrestler of the seven going
to Northern Iowa is Neil Barnes. Barnes
won the 167 pound PSAC Championship
and placed second at EWLs. Barnes got off
to a rough start at the beginning but has been
on a roll since the PSAC Championship.
Barnes' record stands at 16-12.

Ladies hit hard Sports editors make
time in Flordia their predictions
by Dustin Miller
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
'The Lady Bald Eagle softball team got
off to a hot start in Florida but could not
keep the heat up for the whole trip and
cobled down at the end.
The team caught fire winning its first
three games, but the fire turned to a single
flame as the team dropped four out of five
games and ended the trip at 4-4.
The defense was solid to start and did not
commit a single error in their first three
games.
SOFTBALL
mistakes. As long as they learn from their
mistakes that is all that matters."
Lindsey said the team needs to work on
their hitting more. "The team hit well inside
during the winter, but hitting outside is a
totally different game. The background is
different and that makes it tough on the hitter."
The team was scheduled for a game at
Shippensburg on Wednesday, but the game
was canceled due to snow on the field.
The team will host West Chester tomorrow and York College on Sunday. The
games will take place at Elm Park in
Williamsport.
Coach Lindsey hopes to have the team
playing on Lawrence Field any day now, but
the field is in no shape to be played on. The
field was being worked on back in
November, but construction was delayed
and has yet to be finished.
Lindsey said as soon as the infield has
new dirt and the drainage problems are corrected, it will be nice for the players to be
back on campus.

Pitching was also at its best as pitchers
Erin Monger, Amy Markle and Kim
Summerill all posted complete game wins
for the Lady Eagles.
The team eventually ran into hard luck
as they lost four of their last five, including
a heartbreaker to Bloomsburg 3-0.
Bloomsburg only recorded five hits the
whole game, but three unforced errors
helped plate three runs to give Bloomsburg
the victory.
Jen Estright, Laura Koller and Melissa
Caldwell hit the ball well and batted over
.300 for the trip.
Pitcher Markle was outstanding on the
mound as she went 1-1 with a complete
game shutout and a microscopic 0.43 ERA.
Coach Kim Lindsey said the trip went as
well as could be expected, but the team was
a little disappointed with the last few games.

Sluggers break out the lumber on trip
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter
BASEBALL
Spring is in the air and that means baseball. The LHU baseball team returned from
their 1997 spring trip with a 4-3-1 record
against some of the best competition in the
nation.
"We were able to pick our schedule this
year and I put together a schedule against
tough teams. This was a tough schedule,"
said LHU Head Coach Smokey Stover.
The team started with a 7-4 win over
American International. Karl Raffin gave
five innings of strong pitching for the win.
He struck out four and allowed four runs on
only three hits. Jeremy Fisher pitched the
final three innings for the save. Curt
Chilson went 3-4 and knocked in two runs to
lead LHU's 11-hit attack.
LHU then played a double header with
North Dakota. LHU lost 3-1 in the first
game with Scott Bennett pitching a complete game loss. The only LHU hit came off
the bat of Mike Galadia. Galadia smacked a
lead-off home run in the top of the first. The
second game ended in a 14-14 tie because of
a three hour time limit. Chilson went 3-3 in
the game and Brad Strohm went 2-4 with a
grand slam in the fifth. Marco Randazzo
and Erik Steinbacher went 2-2.
The Haven got back on track when they
swept a double header from Bryant College.
In the first game, J.C. Keefer picked up the
win pitching a complete game shut-out in an
8-0 victory. Keefer struck out seven and
only gave up three hits. Randazzo went 3-3
with a double, home run and three RBIs.
Grant Jackson had a two-run homer and
Steinbacher and Leon Fitch each had a solo
homer. Chilson and Galaida both went 2 for
3.
Chilson picked up the save in the second
game killing a Bryant rally io the bottom of
the sixth.
LHU won the game 8-5.
Freshmen Dan Beyer picked up the win.
Chilson was also the leader at the plate,
going 2-3 with two RBIs. Strohm belted a
three-run homer as a part of a five-RBI
game. Steinbacher had a double in a 2-4
performance from the plate.
Bloomsburg and St. Joseph's had an
answer to LHU's three game unbeaten
streak handing the Haven two losses to even
their record at 3-3-1. Bloomsburg beat LHU
9-5 with Jackson picking up the loss in relief
of Aaron Stark. Elvis Ruiz went 3-3 with a
triple, and Randazzo also had a triple in a 24 effort at the plate against the rival Huskies.
LHU out hit Bloom 10 to six.
The Bald Eagles then faced off against
St. Joseph's, ranked number two in Division
II, and dropped a close 6-3 contest. St. Joe's
put up three runs in the first and another in
the second to grab an early 4-0 lead. LHU
had two chances to get back in the game but
both rallies were cut short by inning-ending
double-plays. Jeremy Fisher struck out
seven in a losing effort. Chilson kept his hot
bat going with a 3-3 performance at the plate
with a double and a home run. Ruiz went 22, and Fitch and Randazzo contributed 2-4
f)erformances from the plate.
Lock Haven finished their spring trip
with a game against nationally ranked SIUEdwardsville. LHU pulled off a dramatic 76 nine-inning victory thanks to a Randazzo
RBI single with two-outs in the bottom of
the ninth. Raffin pitched six strong innings
for the no-decision. Bennett picked up the
win in relief. Jackson went 2-3 with a pair
of two-run home runs.
Chilson and
Steinbacher both went 2-4.
The Bald Eagles ended the spring trip
with a 4-3-1 record, a nice imffrovement
from last year's spring trip of 2-9. LHU also
pulled out the lumber, knocking 14 home
runs. "This is the best hitting team I have
ever seen. This is the best team in school
history, and talent wise, it is the best I've
ever coached," said Stover. "The pitching
staff was excellent and our freshn.en did
well. The staff did what we needed them to
do, they kept us close and our offense did the
rest."
Leading in the statistics is Chilson with a
.607 batting average and a .893 slugging
percentage. Chilson also has two homers.
Randazzo is second on the team with a .500
average. Leading the home run category is
Jackson with four round trippers.
.
LHU will be in action today and the rest'
of the weekend at the Shippensburg
Tournament, playing a total of six games.
LHU has been looking forward to facing off
against Ship this year because of last year's
loss in the PSAC Championship.

Club Fair turnout questionable
by Roger Fenstermacher
Eagle Eye News Reporter_
The Spring '97 Club Fair had 45 represented clubs and organizations. The purpose of the fair was to give campus clubs
and organizations recognition and to try to
boost student awareness of the many different organizations on campus.
There were several campus visitations
that came through the Parsons Union
Building (PUB), the location of the club
fair, during the event.
According to Kat Ottomanelli, organizer of the club fair, the visitations passing
through helped to promote the University,
showing that there is a wide variety of
activities that University students can
become involved with.
Several of the parents and potential students showed interest in organizations.
Danette Hartzell of the women's rugby
club said that most of the students that
came through were there at lunch time.
The lobby of the PUB was crowded.
according to Cara Rogers, a Student
Cooperative Council senator. She said it
only looked crowded because it was such a
small area to hold the event in.
However, she said, "It's good th d the
clubs are trying to represent theiiiseIves,
but attendance is poor. People don't have
time."
Ottomanelli said that she wanted to
hold the fair before spring break so that
organizations did not forget about it in the
excitement and hustle of leaving for spring
break.

lUP student
commits suicide
[INDIANA - An lUP student killed himself after he accidentally shot and wounded his fraternity brother around 3 a.m. on
February 28.
Timothy Foreman, 21, shot Dennis
Schrecengost, a fellow lUP student in the
stomach after coming home from a night
of drinking, according to Indiana County
Coroner Thomas Streams.
When Foreman returned to the offcampus apartment he shared with several
brothers, he discovered someone had
take;n the sandwich he had in the refrigerator, and he picked up a 9mm pistol, the
coroner, said.
According to Streams, "(Foreman)
jokingly said, 'I'm going to cap you guys
for eating my sandwich.'" He aimed at a
silhouette target on the wall and pulled the
trigger. The bullet hit the target's edge
and went through the wall, hitting the
sleeping Schrecengost in the abdomen.
After learning what had happened,
Forfepan put the gun to his own temple

Dear Editor:
As an upperclassman who knows firsthand that internships are an integral part of
the learning process, I feel that the students
of Lock Haven University have an exciting
opportunity available to them by the
University and the State System of Higher
Education (SSHE).
The Harrisburg Internship Semester
(THIS), of which I participated in last
semester, is a 15-credit internship based in
the upper reaches of state government that
provides enriching and rewarding experience for students of all majors.
As a journalism major, I interned in the
press office of First Lady Michele Ridge
and was able to see policy making as well
as the day-to-day aspects of state government in action. Other interns through the
program have been placed at the
Department of Environmental Protection,
the Governor's Policy Office, the Center
for Rural Pennsylvania and the Office of
the Speaker of the House.
Applications for next year's placements
(one intern for each fall and spring semester) will soon be accepted. Please contact

Dear Editor:
This is a response to the March 7 letter
by Beth Gundel entitled, "Glitches in the
library system frustrate student," in which
Gundel complains about the scanning system at the front door of the library, and the
bar code system in all library books.
I am a student employee at the library
and I have heard that alarm go off many
times myself. Whenever it does, I thoroughly check the individual's bags and
make sure there are no unauthorized materials in them. 1 have never observed a fellow student employee not check a bag,
and/or do so with any less thoroughness as
1.
The magnetized scanner at the front
door is very helpful in deterring theft.
Students should embrace its use because
it's in their interests that the books the
library does have, stay in the library.
Gundel also complained about the bar
code system in the library materials. The
computer does not make up any input on its
own. The only reason it would read that
she checked out a book is because someone
scanned her ID into the computer and then
scanned the book's barcode. Nobody but
library employees have access to this system, and believe me, we have much better
things to do with our time then scan in
books to student's ID numbers, and then
watch them come into the library complaining that they never took the book out.
This is another system that students
should feel safe to have in place. It is
another great deterrent of theft, and cuts
time and costs to operate the circulation in
the library. The only people that seem to
have problems with the system are those
who have overdue books and get citations
in the mail. It is then that people whine and
complain that they never took out the book.
It's a mistake! I was framed I tell you!
The library has always been, and will
always be, a service to the students who
use it correctly and a crutch to those who
don't.
Sincerely,
Brian P. Ploskina

Campus Security:
Protecting the fact
that they have
nothing to do
Dear Editor:
When you think of the number 710
what is the first thing you think of?. To a
non-motorist student it is just another number, but if you are a motorist parking on
campus it is a financial nightmare.
I am sure any student with a oarking
decal knows "officer" 710 or some other
"officer" with a three digit identification
number. When I first came to this school I
thought the bookstore was the biggest
money making racket on campus, but I was
wrong. I found an even bigger racket:
parking citations. The security and safety
officers do not look up from their hand-held
ticket machines long enough to be of any
good.
Moreover, who are they securing and
protecting? The main question I have is
where does this money go? Does the
money go to financial ventures like the
LHU POLICE assault cruiser, which is
aimed at securing and protecting any student who has or has not committed a traffic
violation? There is no question that parking violations issued should be included in
the annual campus [jolice report, because
without a doubt this number would be disprojwrtionate to the number of students
attending.
In short, the issue of campus security,
carrying firearms was raised last semester.
At first the idea seemed ridiculous, but I
now understand their |X)int of view. They
need something to protect themselves from
angry confrontations with motorists who
are being ripped off.
Sincerely,
Andrew Smith

—
Chris Nagy for SCC president?
Welcome back to the lovely confines of
Lock Haven University and the rest of the
semester. We are past the half way mark in
the semester, we are getting into that home
stretch and summer break is almost here.
Tales has two, that's right TWO, announcements to make this week and they are very
important. Also Tales is refreshed from a
very relaxing spring break. (I was at a nudist colony with Rush Limbaugh, Ross Perot
and Howard Stern...Oh Joy.) So on to this
week's program of fun and adventure.
It is that time of year again, kiddies. It
is that time of year when the 400 or so people who care about what happens at this
University go out and vote for President,
Vice-President and Treasurer of the Student
Cooperative Council (SCC). This time of
year brings a smile to my face because I
love sitting on the sidelines and throwing
my political two-cents around like it mat-
ters. There has been a rumor going around
about me running for the position of SCC
President. I have given that idea a lot of
thought and I know a lot of people are reading this article to see if it is going to happen. Well, I talked to my political advisors
and my staff, I
consulted
with
friends and I even
had a conversation with the one
and
only
"Screaming
Jesus" about this
and I have come
to the decision that I will not be running for
SCC president. This decision might make
me sound like a hypocrite but let me
explain. I would love and cherish the
opportunity to serve the students of Lock
Haven University as their president but I
believe I can make a bigger impact here on
the sidelines. I have made my decision, be
it a tough one, and I am going to stand by
it. Maybe I will run for University president next year....Hmmm there's a thought.
Now we go onto my favorite pastime,
complaining about the
SCC. The SCC passed
a bill a couple of weeks
ago that raised the student activity fee for
next semester. Now
here is a surprise, I was
all for this raise because
the SCC needs money
to fund all the clubs that they are currently
recognizing. This was a good idea, too bad
nobody else knew about it. This is where I
have to put my foot down. The SCC should
have advertised this bill a little bit better.
Not a lot of students knew about it. I know
it was in the Eagle Eye and the senators
knew about it. Too bad most of their constituents did not know about it. An information center would have been a great idea,
because even if a lot of people did not
attend there would have been advertising
about the session, which means there would
have been advertising for the Student
Activity Fee Bill. The SCC did a good
thing with this bill, they just should have
went the extra mile for the students they are
supposed to be representing. (Tell me again
why 1 am not running for SCC President.)

Haven Activity Council (HAC) has concluded their voting for a spring concert but
found out that none of the bands that won
could come to lovely Lock Haven
University. Now before everybody thinks I
am going to destroy HAC and the concert
committee, you are wrong. I am actually
coming to the defense of HAC. The chairman of the concert committee did his
homework on all the acts he said he would
be able to bring to LHU. It was not his fault
that Jewel went ahead and won a Grammy
and the other acts changed their tour plans.
HAC then turned around and planned this
event with smaller bands and comedians
which will probably be more fun than going
to see a big name act. I have to take my hat
off to HAC and the concert committee for
trying to do the right thing but ending up
doing the better thing for Lock Haven. So
before you go and criticize them for no concert, try to understand the situation first I
did and that's why I applaud what they are
now trying to do.
I have promised you all another
announcement and here it is...Tales from
the Hard Side is going on hiatus with a new
column taking its place. This column will
be cutting edge on campus views and issues
and will be almost as fun to read as this column has been. Do not worry faithful reader. Tales will be back in a couple weeks
with a lot of pent up anger, probably aimed
at the new SCC President, Vice-President
and Treasurer.
That about wraps up this week's edition. Stay safe and keep your eyes pealed
for the new column appearing in this spot
next week and for Tales grand Re-Opening
in a couple of weeks....Until then if you
bump into me on the street ask me again
why I am not running for SCC President....

Opinion/Editorial
Writing Emphasis Program important for every major
Dear Editor:
Thanks to the Eagle Eye and reporter
Deborah Ewald for the feature story on
LHU's Writing Emphasis Program. As the
story pointed out, W.E. courses offer students an opportunity to enhance their writing ability—an ability that is increasingly
important in today's job market. W.E.
classes give students the chance to build on
skills they
mastered
in
freshman
Composition and to learn to write effectively in a variety of disciplines. Explaining the
W.E. program just before students begin
fall course selection made your story especially timely; now when students see
"W.E." next to a course title in the Fall
Master Schedule, they will know the designation signals an emphasis on writing.
I would like, however, to clarify a couple of points. First, the courses with the
W.E. designation are obviously not the only
courses that require writing; various kinds
of writing assignments are a part of many,
many other courses in our curriculum.
Labeling a course or section "W.E." is simply that professor's affirmation that writing
and writing instruction will be emphasized
and valued in that class, and that students
will be given the opportunities to practice
and develop their writing skills. W.E.
courses do not necessarily require long
papers—and they do not necessarily require
more writing than courses without the W.E.
designation. They do emphasize writing as
part of the course activities, and some type
of writing instruction is included.
Secondly, the writing instruction in a W.E.
class is not necessarily a part of course lectures; some W.E. faculty teach writing in
One other point of clarification: the Art
Department was one of the "pioneers" in
LHU's Writing Emphasis program and has
been offering W.E. courses since the program's start in 1981, along with the
Departments of Biological Sciences;
Chemistry; English; Elementary and
Secondary
Education; Geology and
their disciplines through conferences, modeling, guest speakers or referral to various
campus resources, including the Writing
Center. Sometimes, W.E. courses have limited enrollment, making individual help
with writing assignments more likely, and
students are often encouraged to revise
their writing.
Physics; Health and Physical Education;
History; Political Science and Economics;
Journalism, Mass Communication, and
Philosophy; Music; Psychology; Special
Education and Early Childhood Education;
and Speech Communication and Theatre.
Over the years they have been joined by the
Departments of Academic Development
and Counseling; Computer Science,
Management and Accounting; Recreation;
and Sociology, Anthropology, Social Work
and Geography.
Students may take W.E. courses as part
of their General Education requirements or
as part of their major. W.E. courses in a
student's major have the added be.efit of
emphasizing the special requirements for
competent writing in the chosen profession.
All W.E. courses show the W.E. designation on the transcript, which can mean a
chance to point out a highly desirable skill
during a job interview.
Here's my message to all students: look
for the W.E. courses on the Fall 1997
Master Schedule and consider making writing emphasis part of your fall course selection. If your writing skills have j»otten
rusty, a W.E. course can help you tt.' polish
them; and if you consider yourself a highly
skilled writer, a W.E. course can give you a
chance to shine. As the Eagle Eye story
pointed out, help and support—as well as
praise—are always available at the Writing
Center.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Perry
Chair, University Writing Committee
Rumors and gossip can harm everyone
This week 1 want to talk about something we talk about all the time. All of us
love to hear the latest gossip. The more
outrageous the better. Everyday 1 hear
about who has done what to whom, what
professor did this, that, or how bad, good,
etc...
1 am the first to admit that I too, at times
am guilty as hell of passing the juicy rumor.
Lately I saw the impact of a rumor and
although I will not tell you what it was, I
will explain what kind of damage our big
mouths can cause. I wish to discuss reputation, education and one's views of the
world.
Reputation in this world is everything.
Those who disagree have not lived outside
of the bubble their whole life. It is stated
that we begin to develop a reputation with
others when we first meet, and that reputation sticks. I will argue that reputation
begins at least 40 percent of the time before
the actual meeting takes place. How does
this happen you may wonder? By the direction of this article it should be easy to see
where I am leading. It starts from the gossip you have heard. For example, many of
you that read this column have not met me
in person. Yet, I would venture to guess
that some of you have heard something
about me before. Depending on what you
have been told, you read this with a certain
mind set, be it good, bad or indifferent.
What if what you were told about me
was not true? Suppose that you were told I
was a sexist, racist, drunk, stubborn, stupid,
ugly, compulsive and untruthful person,
you would view this column with a bias.
Or you might not

Education is the reason we are all here
(hopefully). How many professors have
you been told to avoid at all costs? The reasons have varied from they hate girls, they
do not curve, you will not learn anything or
the standard, "they are hard graders." The
effect is this, when you walk into a classroom you have a preconceived notion about
that professor. If

Our view of the world is solely depen-
dent on the filters we look through. There
is not a human who has ever been completely objective. We attach what we see
and do with what we hear before we see the
truth. Therefore, the world I know is a
biased world. 1 know no other world, you
could not possibly describe your world to
me.
However, if you feel someone is a
credible source you will allow that person
to distort your world. It does not matter
what the truth is. When it comes to reputation it only matters what you believe.
Philosophically speaking, you and I are
in our own worlds. Therefore, our perceptions are the truth, not the facts, not the
past, but simply what we know as truth.
Next time you hear a good juicy rumor
at least take the time, if it means anything to
you, to verify it. If it does not mean anything to you, let it die, do not pass it on,
since you could possibly cause a great deal
of harm.

Actor brings Mark Twain to life on stage
by BUI Hetler
Eagle Eye Features Reporter_
Mark Twain has risen from the dead, or
so it seemed Wednesday evening, March 5,
at Price Auditorium after the very popular
Michael Mauldin gave an incredible performance based on the highly acclaimed lecture tour that Twain took in 1905 in front of
an audience of 140.
The likeness that was created through
three hours worth of make-up along with a
flawless [terformance, allowed the audience
to feel as though science found a way to resurrect Mark Twain. Mauldin did a stand-up,
one-man act, re-creating an image of Twain
complete with white suit, mustache,
shocked white hair and cigar.
Throughout the entire performance, the
audience listened to many of the humorous
speeches that Twain gave during his 1905
tour. Mauldin opened the act with a Twain
compliment. "I keep my compliment collection ready, for myself of course."
He went on to explain that he is among
the two World's Most Remarkable Men.
"There are two men in the world most
remarkable. Kipling is one. I'm the other.
He knows all that can be known, and 1 know
all the rest," he said.
Twain spoke of the time when he came
upon, a beach where young native women
were bathing in the ocean. "Well, I thought
it was my duty to make sure no one could
steal their clothes, so I went over and sat on
them," he said.
The entire lecture was full of laughter
except when he spoke of the love of his life,
Olivia. He said, "1 met her, promptly fell in
love with her, and two years later, married
her. Now that sounds easy and uncomplicated; it wasn't. There were three of four
proposals and just as many refusals."
During this part of the speech, the drop of a
pin could have been heard throughout the
entire, silent auditorium. Twain knew at this
point in his lecture that he had the complete
attention of his audience.
Twain also talked about the fact that he
did not mind getting old. He described
some of what he claimed to be his "good
habits:" smoking, swearing and drinking
two hot scotches each night before bed to
prevent toothaches.
"You can not reach old age by any other
man's road. You have to make your own set
of rules and stick to them," Twain advised
the audience. "If you can't make it to old
age by a comfortable road, don't go."
Later on, Twain talked about the human
race during his speech. He said, "As you've
probably noticed, the human race is a
curiosity. Men started a little lower than
angels and have been getting a little lower
ever since. I wonder if God invented man
because he was disappointed in the monkey."
Mauldin, the person who perforns as
Twain, said, "Twain never knew what he
was going to say during his lectures. He
would simply get on stage and just speak to
the audience. All of the stories I told today
were stories that he told during his tour.
When I perform them, I try to make them
seem as though I am coming up with the
topics of conversation as the play goes on,
just as he did it."
Carla Basile, who organized the show at
the University, said of the performance, "He
is a wonderfully talented actor and we are
very fortunate to have had him here."
Mauldin put on a wonderful performance and did not fall short of making the
audience feel as though the actual Mark
Twain was before them.

After three hours of makeup to reproduce the image of Mark Twain
himself, actor Michael Mauldin performed speeches given by Twain
on his 1905 Tour.

well done. The composite city scenes are
almost flawless and the new Jabba the Hutt

The new space footage is probably the best
part. The battles are more intense and the
ships move quicker and with more realism.
Some of the added scenes and shots could
have been left out. While it was nice that
they cleaned up the films, they probably
should have just left it at that. The new
scenes are distracting and somewhat pointless. Part of the charm of the original trilogy was that the films were so spare when it
came to the story. The story was wel'-developed, but we only saw exactly what we
needed. Now there are little extranedus
shots that are neat but absolutely useless.
So, in the end, the Special Edition is cool,
but Lucas should have just let the movies
stand. A nice rerelease would have done
nicely.

Grapplers eani EWL championship title
14 Eagle Eye Friday, March 21, 1997
by Chris Nagy
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
Last December Head Coach Carl Poff
and his LxKk Haven University wrestlers sat
down and laid out three simple goals for the
1996-97 wrestling season.
First was to win the PSAC
Championship in January, their second
straight PSAC title.
Been there.
Second was to win the University's first
ever Eastern Wrestling league (EWL) title
in March.
Done that.
Third was a top ten finish at the NCAA
Division I National Championships this
weekend at The University of Northern
Iowa.
Working on that.
Lock Haven is heading into the heartland of America on a mission with seven
wrestlers, six of whom made the EWL
finals.
Making the trip to the land of wheat and
corn are: seniors, Mike Geurin, Mike
Rogers, Brian Leitzel and Cary Kolat;
junior, Neil Barnes; and sophomores Mike
Kusick and Terry Showalter. Everyone
except for Barnes has been in this position
before and they are all looking to make their
mark at nationals.
"It's going to take all seven guys to contribute if we're going to place in the top
ten," said Poff. "We are going to focus on
individual efforts, making sure everyone
wrestles as well as they can. If they do, then
the team goals will take care of themselves."
Leading the way for team Lock Haven is
defending National Champion Cary Kolat.
Kolat, who won the title at 134 last year
goes for the 142 title and his fourth straight
All-American showing this year.
Kolat is ranked number one by Amateur
Wrestling News (AWN) and is undeafted
this season at 20-0. Kolat is fresh off his
second straight EWL title and EWL
Outstanding Wrestler award.
Kolat is looking to grab the one award
he has not received yet to top off his amazing collegiate career. Outstanding Wrestler
at the National Tournament.
"With all the pressure and expectations
he faced last year, Cary got a big monkey off
his back by winning the championship,"
said Poff. "If he can stay relaxed and
focused this year, he'll do fine."
The only thing that has eluded Mike
Rogers in his career at Lock Haven is a
National Championship. Rogers is a fourtime PSAC Champion, a feat only nine others wrestlers have accomplished, a two-time
EWL Champion, over 100 wins for his
career and winner of the Gregorian Award at
last year's NCAA championships. Rogers is
currently ranked fifth by AWN at 150
pounds and is making his third appearance
at Nationals, hoping to repeat his All-
American status from last year.
Rogers is in the toughest bracket of the
championship with two former National
Champions. One of those being Lincoln
McLiravey who defeated Rogers last
December. Even with the tough bracket
Rogers looks like he is on his way to another All-American performance and, with a
break, could surprise some people.
Mike Geurin won his third EWL
Championship and also has three PSAC
Championships under his belt.
Geurin, who was an All-American for

Ladies hit hard Sports editors make

by Dustin Miller
Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_
'The Lady Bald Eagle softball team got
off to a hot start in Florida but could not
keep the heat up for the whole trip and
cobled down at the end.
The team caught fire winning its first
three games, but the fire turned to a single
flame as the team dropped four out of five
games and ended the trip at 4-4.
The defense was solid to start and did not
commit a single error in their first three
games.

mistakes. As long as they learn from their
mistakes that is all that matters."
Lindsey said the team needs to work on
their hitting more. "The team hit well inside
during the winter, but hitting outside is a
totally different game. The background is
different and that makes it tough on the hitter."
The team was scheduled for a game at
Shippensburg on Wednesday, but the game
was canceled due to snow on the field.
The team will host West Chester tomorrow and York College on Sunday. The
games will take place at Elm Park in
Williamsport.
Coach Lindsey hopes to have the team
playing on Lawrence Field any day now, but
the field is in no shape to be played on. The
field was being worked on back in
November, but construction was delayed
and has yet to be finished.
Lindsey said as soon as the infield has
new dirt and the drainage problems are corrected, it will be nice for the players to be
back on campus.

The team eventually ran into hard luck
as they lost four of their last five, including
a heartbreaker to Bloomsburg 3-0.
Bloomsburg only recorded five hits the

Sluggers break out the lumber on trip

Eagle Eye Sports Reporter
BASEBALL
Spring is in the air and that means baseball. The LHU baseball team returned from
their 1997 spring trip with a 4-3-1 record
against some of the best competition in the
nation.
"We were able to pick our schedule this
year and I put together a schedule against
tough teams. This was a tough schedule,"
said LHU Head Coach Smokey Stover.
The team started with a 7-4 win over
American International. Karl Raffin gave
five innings of strong pitching for the win.
He struck out four and allowed four runs on
only three hits. Jeremy Fisher pitched the
final three innings for the save. Curt
Chilson went 3-4 and knocked in two runs to
lead LHU's 11-hit attack.
LHU then played a double header with
North Dakota. LHU lost 3-1 in the first
game with Scott Bennett pitching a complete game loss. The only LHU hit came off
the bat of Mike Galadia. Galadia smacked a
lead-off home run in the top of the first. The
second game ended in a 14-14 tie because of
a three hour time limit. Chilson went 3-3 in
the game and Brad Strohm went 2-4 with a
grand slam in the fifth. Marco Randazzo
and Erik Steinbacher went 2-2.
The Haven got back on track when they
swept a double header from Bryant College.
In the first game, J.C. Keefer picked up the
win pitching a complete game shut-out in an
8-0 victory. Keefer struck out seven and
only gave up three hits. Randazzo went 3-3
with a double, home run and three RBIs.
Grant Jackson had a two-run homer and
Steinbacher and Leon Fitch each had a solo
homer. Chilson and Galaida both went 2 for
3.
Chilson picked up the save in the second
game killing a Bryant rally io the bottom of
the sixth.
LHU won the game 8-5.
Freshmen Dan Beyer picked up the win.
Chilson was also the leader at the plate,
going 2-3 with two RBIs. Strohm belted a
three-run homer as a part of a five-RBI
game. Steinbacher had a double in a 2-4
performance from the plate.
Bloomsburg and St. Joseph's had an
answer to LHU's three game unbeaten
streak handing the Haven two losses to even
their record at 3-3-1. Bloomsburg beat LHU
9-5 with Jackson picking up the loss in relief
of Aaron Stark. Elvis Ruiz went 3-3 with a
triple, and Randazzo also had a triple in a 24 effort at the plate against the rival Huskies.
LHU out hit Bloom 10 to six.
The Bald Eagles then faced off against
St. Joseph's, ranked number two in Division
II, and dropped a close 6-3 contest. St. Joe's
put up three runs in the first and another in
the second to grab an early 4-0 lead. LHU
had two chances to get back in the game but
both rallies were cut short by inning-ending
double-plays. Jeremy Fisher struck out
seven in a losing effort. Chilson kept his hot
bat going with a 3-3 performance at the plate
with a double and a home run. Ruiz went 22, and Fitch and Randazzo contributed 2-4
f)erformances from the plate.
Lock Haven finished their spring trip
with a game against nationally ranked SIUEdwardsville. LHU pulled off a dramatic 76 nine-inning victory thanks to a Randazzo
RBI single with two-outs in the bottom of
the ninth. Raffin pitched six strong innings
for the no-decision. Bennett picked up the
win in relief. Jackson went 2-3 with a pair
of two-run home runs.
Chilson and
Steinbacher both went 2-4.
The Bald Eagles ended the spring trip
with a 4-3-1 record, a nice imffrovement
from last year's spring trip of 2-9. LHU also
pulled out the lumber, knocking 14 home
runs. "This is the best hitting team I have
ever seen. This is the best team in school
history, and talent wise, it is the best I've
ever coached," said Stover. "The pitching
staff was excellent and our freshn.en did
well. The staff did what we needed them to
do, they kept us close and our offense did the
rest."
Leading in the statistics is Chilson with a
.607 batting average and a .893 slugging
percentage. Chilson also has two homers.
Randazzo is second on the team with a .500
average. Leading the home run category is
Jackson with four round trippers.
.
LHU will be in action today and the rest'
of the weekend at the Shippensburg
Tournament, playing a total of six games.
LHU has been looking forward to facing off
against Ship this year because of last year's
loss in the PSAC Championship.
