Freshman enrollment up 23.9 percent
Enrollment leads to overcrowding in the residenc e halls

by Mary Beth Curry
News Editor
Due to enhanced efforts by the
CU admissions staff and various
administrators, freshmen
enrollment figures are up by
23.9%
The larger incoming class
could mean up to $300,000 in
increased tuition revenue for the
university.
According to reports from John
S. Shropshire, Dean of
Enrollment Management and
Academic Records, the decline
in enrollment over the last few
years was expected.
The pool of prospective
college students had decreased in
many of Pennsylvania's high
schools, therefore accounting for
the decrease in enrollment
figures. Two other reasons cited
for the drop in enrollment were a
three year enrollment cap
activated by former CU
president Thomas Bond and the
changing majors wanted by high
school graduates. The
admissions program has been
working for the last year in order
to gain the current results.
Dean Shropshire has indicated,
President Reinhard, increased
funds to the admissions program,
Department Mailings, and the
ambassador program have all
contributed .to the increased
numbers.
However, the increase has
produced new problems for the
Residence Life office. Director,
Dr. Barry Morris, stated that
before the beginning of the fall
1995 semester all the campus
residence hails had been filled to
100 percent capacity. Upon their
arrival to the university several
students found themselves

Increase in Riemer snack bar prices spark student concerns
by Katie Zaikoski
Editor
A recent increase in food
prices at the Riemer Snack Bar
has raised many students
concerns as to how far their
money actually goes, and if the
university is planning on
bringing the prices back down.
In past semesters, students
could purchase a cold meat and
cheese sandwich, 20 oz. fountain
drink and french fries for their
lunch through what is known as
the cash allowance system.
This allows students with
meal plans the opportunity to
purchase specials designed by
the Reimer staff. Each cash
allowance special equals one
meal off their board plan.
However, the Fall 1995 semester
has brought a significant change
to the selection and cost of the
cash allowance system.
Currently, the amount of
money allotted for meals are:
breakfast, $1.80; lunch, $2.85;
dinner $3.20. To individually
purchase a meat and cheese
sandwich ($2.49), french fries
($.95) and 20 oz. fountain soda
($.90) a student will spend
$4.34. Due to the $2.85
allotment of money from a
student's board, an additional
$1.49 from their flex dollars
must be spent each lunch.
Flex dollars are additional
funds that can be purchased
along with the meal plan to be
used for in-between meals, guest
meals or money to be used when
the student exceeds the money
allotted for the particular meal.
Currently, 15 meals a week
with the $75 in flex dollars cost
$707. 15 meals without the flex
dollar option costs $582, a
difference of $125.
Photo by Eric Wilson
Students who dine in Riemer Snack Bar can expect to use
more of their flex dollars due to an increase in prices.
Dave Henry, new director of
foods services, attributes the
increase in prices to higher
prices from the snack bar
suppliers.
"The Pepsi program prices
have increased so we had to
accommodate that increase by
raising the cost," Henry said.
Improvements in the quality
of the deli meats and the size
and grade of the hamburgers
being served is also attributed
to the increase in prices.
The decision of adding the
line of Sara Lee premium deli
meats in the Riemer snack bar
was made by Henry and Wayne
Klicken, even though it meant
an increase in price.
"We tried for a variety in the
specials offered, but the main
emphasis was addressing the
complaints heard from last year;
long lines and slow service,"
Henry added.
Henry is aware of the student
opposition and is in the process
of implementing new programs
to benefit the students.
Starting in October, a monthly
calendar will inform the
students ahead of time the

OPINION
It's always interesting coming
back to Clarion for another
semester and seeing the changes
made to our University.
The most disturbing change I
found this semester was the out-
rageous prices at the Riemer
Snack Bar in Gemmell.
Where else in Clarion can you
get a traditional foot long hoagie
served on a glorified hot dog bun.
This is what our snack bar has
come to.
The snack bar used to be a place
to get away from the cafeteria, or,
if you're in a hurry get a plentiful
meal to go and only pay what a
meal would cost at the cafeteria.
Not anymore.
Supposedly, the increase in
prices came because the quality
of meat was upgraded.
That's funny - were you serving
us low quality meat last year?
I feel there was less complain-
ing about the supposedly lower
quality meat products compared
to the complaining that is being
done on the prices being raised.
I wish the university would
leave something that is working
alone instead of always changing
it
Didn't the university ever bear
the saying "if isn't broke, don't
fix it"
Another prime example of the
Riemer ripoff is the service
charge for having flex.
For example, IS meals a week
with $75 flex costs $707. But 15
meals without any flex costs only
$582. In reality, you're paying an
additional $125 for $75 flex.
Where does the extra $50 go?
Let me guess, that money went to
pay for the employees' new fash-
ionable uniforms.
Dramatic changes must be
made soon concerning the snack
bar.
Ask yourself where in Clarion
can you get a great meal at an
affordable price? How about
Vinny's pizza or the new Pizza
Joe's.
What a great idea! Let's bring
in Vinny or Pizza Joe to take over
the snack bar. I'm sure you won't
have any complaints from the
students.
Riemer Snack Bar has lost it's
purpose on our campus. This is
one more ripoff the students just
do not need.
I wish things on this campus
only were to benefit the students
and not just make a buck.

Eating a hamburger may cause animal extinction
Dear Editor,
A student may not finish
college, a child may go hungry
because of the hamburger you
ate. The next hamburger you eat
may mean an animal species will
become extinct.
Caring students can easily be a
part of a "hamburger rebellion'
and oppose cruel budget cuts and
other self serving legislation by
wealthy legislators-elected
(ironically) with the help of a
cattle financed by beef eating
budget cut victims.
Large numbers of legislators
and local officials are, in fact,
cattle ranchers - perhaps the
same ranchers trying to get
control of public lands
(belonging to all Americans)
from our government in order to

block range reform.
Overgrazing and other,
sometimes violent, abuses on our
public lands are threatening the
existence of many species - as
well as people and our country
(the Sage Brush Rebellion?).
Where rich ranchers legislators
or rancher officials control or
influence lawmaking bodies,
conflict of interest (and ethics
involved) should be exposed.
No one can help every good
cause but victims of recent
political change can silently
protest and help their own cause,
too, without writing letters,
picketing or otherwise going
public. They can, simply, not
buy a hamburger.
Next election voters can
remember that the greed of the
wealthy has no conscience.

Life on death row is full of darkness
Dear Editor,
This letter will likely be one of
the most unusual you've read. I
sincerely hope it doesn't offend
or repulse you.
This is more of an urgent plea
than question or request as my
community ties are virtually
none. I am an inmate on death
row at Arizona State Prison.
I've been on death row for ten
years fighting for a new trial for
a crime I was convicted of that I
did not commit. I know that
everybody says that they didn't
do it regardless if they did or not
and I guess that makes it hard for
those that are truly innocent
I have been studying law since
I got here simply because I can't
see myself sitting here hoping
someone else will look into my
innocence.
Law study is also how I
occupy my mind but even then
without some sort of free world
communication, life becomes
suffocating.
Death row has to be the
ultimate of loneliness and
despair for anyone to conceive
even in a mere thought. To share
views and opinions with others
can cast great light where now
there is nothing but darkness and
gloom.
I thank you for your time and
understanding.

Woman makes bid for Citadel
Nancy Mellette wants to be the
next Shannon Faulkner.
Mellette, a high school senior
at a military boarding school in
North Carolina, is seeking to
enroll at The Citadel next fall by
replacing Faulkner in the lawsuit
against the all-male military
institution in South Carolina.
After 2 1/2 years of legal
battles, Faulkner finally won the
right to enroll in The Citadel's
all-male corps of cadets program
this fall.
But after only one day of
participation in "Hell Week," the
20-year-old was taken to the
infirmary for heat exhaustion.
She dropped out five days later,
citing health problems due to
stress.
Faulkner's
attorneys have
filed an
intervention
request that
would allow
Mellette to
replace
Faulkner in the case against The
Citadel.
"We are planning on seeing
this case through to its natural
and rightful end," said Val
Vojdik, one of the attorneys for
the case.
"Nancy is committed to
obtaining the type of training
The Citadel provides."
NCAA investigates FIU
A former Florida International
University men's basketball
player has accused the university
of giving team members cash
pay-offs, prompting a NCAA
investigation.
The NCAA currently is
investigating the basketball
program on charges of illegal
payments to players. If any
infractions are found, the school
could be placed on probation or
suspended from play. The
charges stem from a letter former
student Joe Leake wrote to he
NCAA earlier this year.
Leake, who played guard for
FIU during the 1993-94 season,
left the school last May.
In the letter, he claimed the
FIU coaches had given him
$5,000 while he was going to
school.
Keake also indicated that his
teammates were paid by the
FIU coaching staff as well.
Leake said former coach Bob
Weltich gave him cash
payments totaling $2,278. The
former player, who averaged
7.7 points a game, said he also
received more than $2,000 after
cashing unsolicited university
checks that arrived at his
apartment in the mail.
Weltich called the charges
'absurd,' claiming that Leake is
a disgruntled former player who
wants to damage the FIU
program.
UC-Berkeley students protest
More than 300 students rallied
at University of California-
Berkeley during the first week of
classes to protest the state Board
of Regents' decision this
summer to abolish affirmative
action programs.
the students, who demanded
that the regents rescind their
vote, temporarily shut down the
university's administration
building.
"All this talk about affirmative
action is being used by Pete
Wilson as wedge issue in his
quest to be the next president,"
said Hatem Baian, a Berkeley
student who leads Diversity in
Action, a student group
protesting the move. "We can't
let him ruin the lives of current
students because of his blind
ambition for the White House."
Wilson, California's governor,
attended his first Board of
Regents meeting in three years
on July 20, when he
successfully urged the 26-
member board to end
affirmative action practices in
the UC system. He also has
made affirmative action a
centerpiece for his recently
announced presidential
campaign.

Delegates call rapists war criminals
Of all war's horrors, rape is especially ugly - and the U.N.
women's conference is crying out against it. Conferees agreed
Tuesday that combatants who rape women are war criminals and
should be hunted down.
The call to governments to investigate and punish those
responsible for rape in wartime was among measures adopted by a
committee drafting a Platform for Action to achieve equality for
women.
In the last hurdle before final approval of the platform, delegates
from 189 countries adopted large sections of the document by
consensus at a sometimes heated meeting. The same countries will
give final approval to he platform during a plenary session Friday.
NATO attacks Serb military targets
NATO attacked a half-dozen Bosnian Serb military targets
Tuesday, turning one ammunition dump into an inferno that threw
flames into the sky. Russia charged that the Serbs were facing
"genocide" from the West.
A U.N. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said
alliance jets targeted military installations around Sarajevo and in
eastern Bosnia - ammunition dumps, strategic bridges, and
command and control posts. He would not elaborate.
Imelda Marcos to take political seat
Imelda Marcos, driven into exik nine years ago in the uprising
that toppled her husband, won Supreme Court approval Tuesday to
take her seat in Congress despite opposition from the government
election commission.
The court, in an 8-5 vote, upheld Marcos' appeal of a
commission ruling that she did not meet residency requirements
for a seat in the House of Representatives representing Leyte
province.
Clinton: No budget pact by year's end
The White House and Congress won't reach agreement on the
federal budget before the fiscal year ends, President Clinton
conceded Tuesday as he met with Republican leaders to try to
settle on a stopgap measure that would keep the government
running.
Flanked by House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Senate Majority
Leader Bob Dole, the president said, "We do have different
priorities, but I think we can reach an agreement if we work on it."
Overheated satellite is shut down
A saucer-shaped satellite trailing space shuttle Endeavour was
shut down by ground controllers Tuesday after it overheated and
began tilting.
It was the latest in a series of problems with the $25 million
Wake Shield Facility, a giant steel disk on which scientists are
trying to grow ultra-thin semiconductor film in the pure vacuum of
space.
The five astronauts were supposed to recapture the satellite on
Wednesday, two days after they released it.

Letters to
the Editor Cont .
This university has lost all their rationale
Dear Editor,
I think the prices at Gemmell
are ridiculous! Where has the
university's sense of rationale
gone?
Why did they have to ruin a
good thing? Last year I was able
to eat lunch every day and not
exceed my board money.
This year, if I want to eat more
than a piece of pizza and a soda,
I have to take out a small loan.
What ever happened to the
good old fashion cash allowance
specials? I understand the
university was trying to improve
the quality of their food, but why
weren't the students informed of
the price increase before we
moved back.
Maybe I would have
purchased more flex dollars if I
would have known ahead of
time. I think the food is pretty
decent, but it's not worth the
obscene amount of money we're
forced to pay.
I hope the university addresses
this complaint and really tries
to come up with a plan to
decrease the food prices.
I know I'm backed by the
rest of this campus when I say
that the amount of food
available in a cash allowance
does not satisfy my hunger.
Don't I pay this place enough
money as it is? When will the
bills end?
Sincerely,
A hungry, broke student

available cash specials. It will
include foods to be featured and
the amount of dollar savings.
In addition to the calendar, a
Grab 'n Dash program could also
be installed. The program would
allow students to take food out
from the cafeteria to
accommodate students who are
in a hurry.
Henry is considering opening a
fourth dinner line at the cafeteria
to avoid lines, accomplishing
speedier service. He is leaving
this option open to the students
and encourages suggestions.
Terri Steigelman, chair of
student senate dining and
residence hall committee, is
responsible for bringing
suggestions and concerns about
the dining and residence halls to
the administration.
"According to the
administration, the snack bar in
Gemmell was designed to be just
that, a snack bar; not a second
dining hall.
"The intent was to balance
students coming in to both the
snack bar and the cafeteria," she
added.
Steigelman also said this
change in quality and the number
of cash allowances bring Clarion
up to speed with other 13 SSHE
universities.
"People need to learn how to
utilize the optimum plans," said
Dr. George Curtis, student affairs
vice president
Amy Long, student, said " I
think since the university
enrollment is up, the prices
should be lower. If it weren't for
the students, the snack bar
wouldn't be here."
Tracie Murray, a Riemer
supervisor, said she has noticed a
definite increase in student
complaints since the start of the
semester."
They're complaining about
high prices, and they want the
old cash allowance system
back."
However, Murray feels the
increase in prices are justifiable
to the increase in suppliers
prices. Murray also notes the
efforts put forth by the staff to
accomodate some of the students
concerns.
"They were complaining
because they could no longer get
the nine inch sub, so we brought
it back," she added.
Kristen Byers, sophomore
English Education, said "The
prices are terrible. The food
hasn't changed and you get less
for your money. There's no way
you can get full on the new cash
allowance system."
Henry welcomes any student
opinions and suggestions and
can be reached at 226-2407.

Parking concerns abound
Construction creates chaos for university students
by Matt Geesey
News Writer
Construction of steamline tun-
nels has caused major congestion
to parking on Clarion campus.
The first step of this project
began in the last week of March
1994 and continued until this past
December.
It involved installing buried
steam lines between Tippen
Gymnasium and the front of
Marwick-Boyd Fine Arts
Building.
Also, lines were run from the
Gemmell Student Complex along
Wilson Avenue to a point near
Campbell Hall.
The final phase began in June
and is causing much unrest on
campus.
It involves constructing under-
ground tunnels for steam and
other utilities.
The project started at the Utility
Plant and extended in front of
Carrier Administration building
onto Wood Street, near the Health
Center.
A branch tunnel connects
Carrier Administration to the tun-
nels being built at Nair and
Wilkinson Halls.
This is the cause of the partial
closure of Parking Lot J.
On the other side of campus, a
second tunnel will connect the
buried steam lines at Marwick-
Boyd with Becker Hall.
Continued from page one
From there the tunnels will run
to McEntire Maintenance
Building, before connecting to
Campbell Hall.
The final phase should take
approximately two years to com-
plete.
The total cost of the entire pro-
ject is about $4.2 million, accord-
ing to Don Elder Sr.,
Superintendent of Maintenance
for the university. He also stated
that the renovations would save
money in the long run.
According to Elder, the way the
original steamlines were set up
caused a lot of money to be wast-
ed.
The new system will be more
efficient.
Currently, there is a network of
sewer pipes of the utility plant
that are at least 70 years old.
The new lines are expected to
have a life expectancy of 20 to 35
years.
Working on this project as gen-
eral contractor is Clarion local,
Francis J. Palo, Inc.
The plumbing and electrical
contracts also were handled in by
western PA labor.
Currently parking lots H and Q
are completely unusable.
Parking lot J, next to Nair Hall
has a unusable section next to
Carrier.
Elder explains that no blacktop
is on this section of the parking
lot because of the current con-

The increase in enrollment puts
to rest the fears that incorrect
information printed in the annual

College Guide would harm the
university.
The reported 23.9 percent
increase is based only on the pri-

1,332 freshmen attending which

The university's total enroll-
ment is up by an additional 118
students, with a total headcount
of 5,739, compared to last year's
5,621. During the drop add peri-
od held at the beginning of the

Capital campaign enhanced by bell tower
by John Us
News Writer
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania's $8 million
"Investing in Futures" capital
campaign publicly kicked off on
August 24 with over $2.5 million
in pledges already received from
31 individual gifts.
Over 250 people attended an
old fashioned lawn party to cele-
brate the campaign kickoff . The
capital campaign is directed at
the major renovation of three uni-
versity buildings, endowment
scholarship funds, and an endow-
ment of a cultural series.
"The preparation for today's
kick-off started 6 months ago,
with what is known as the 'silent
phase' of the campaign," said
Jack Fuellhart chairman of the
Capital Campaign and a 1968
graduate of Clarion University.
"During the silent phase pace
setting gifts are solicited from
individuals and organizations,"
Fuellhart reported. Total pledges
to date come to $2,558,892. CU
President Dr. Diane Reinhard and
Fuellhart also unveiled plans to
construct a bell tower similar to
one that was on campus when
CU was a Seminary.
"Many of us have been keenly
aware of the sadness and disap-
pointment expressed over the
unfortunate demolition of
Seminary Hall," said Reinhard.
The new tower will recognize
major gift donors and it's bell
will be used to summon the uni-
versity community to campus
events such as commencement
and the celebration of special
occasions and athletic victories.
The kickoff celebration also
featured the sounds of the
Clarion University All-Star
Dixieland Band.

Public Safety tries something new
Bicycle patrols enhance campus safety
by Laura Cuido
News Writer
Bicycle patrols are just one of
the steps taken by Public Safety
to keep campus crime rates
down.
Dennis Hagan and Gregg
Smith, two Clarion Public Safety
officers, along with two represen-
tatives of the Clarion Borough
Police spent three days this sum-
mer in preparation for the start of
the school year.
The three days of training were
conducted by Dave Johnson,
Sean Ironos, and James Will, all
from West Chester University's
Public Safety.
West Chester Public Safety has
been using the bicycle patrols for
the past five years.
In addition to familiarizing
themselves with the bicycle, the
Accident on South
new patrol members also learned
to maneuver through a skill rid-
ing course, and how to take the
bikes over grass, gravel, hard
pavement, and up and down
stairs. They also spent half a day
in the classroom.
"The biggest advantage to the
program may be community rela-
tions," says Ron Martinazzi,
director of Clarion University
Public Safety. "Officers in a car
are usually a long distance from
visual contact. With a bike, there
is no barrier between the officers
and the public. They can stop
and talk and relate to the public."
From an economic view, the
start of the new bicycle program
is low along with the mainte-
nance costs, compared to the pur-
chase of a new police car.
This is just part of Clarion's
attempt for a safer campus. The
Street
efforts over the past several years
have included the installation of
emergency telephone locations
throughout campus and the addi-
tion of camera surveillance on
several areas of campus.
"Clarion University's campus is
already ranked as the fourth
safest among colleges in the
northeast according to the book
"Crime at College", by Curtis
Ostrander and Joseph Schwartz,"
says Martinazzi. "This is part of
our attempt to be number one."
According to Martinazzi, prop-
er equipment will allow the bike
patrol to be operable year round.
"We hope to form a marriage
between Public Safety and the
students through better commu-
nications and trust," he says. "
This will help improve the crime
prevention program at Clarion
University."

The Summer Reading Program
was held at Clarion University
this past summer. Sixteen stu-
dents from local school districts
are working in the program with
fifteen graduate students from the
university.
During the five week program
the students are surrounded by an
environment rich in print and are
encouraged to read as much as
possible. The program is
designed to develop new tech-
niques and strategies to enhance
the reading proficiency of the
students. The students also pro-
duce their own materials for
future reading such as; stories
produced on word processor,
composing words for wordless
books, and creating books with
their own pictures. The students
are also involved in a number of
activities including field trips to
the Clarion Free Library and the
Clarion Area Airport.
The program is sponsored by
the Education Department at
Clarion and is directed by Dr.
Anne Creany. The graduate stu-
dents participating in the pro-
gram are: Emily Brent, Rita
Carr-Spila, Kathy Close, Cam
Davensizer, Julie Davison, David
Durish, Molly Gaydash, Beth
Hicks, Diane Krause, Joni Miller,
Susan Miller, Donna Monger,

was the low funding the university has received from the state legisla-
ture.
'The state needs to know how to perceive their responsibilities in
supporting higher education for state owned institutions," Reinhard
stated. In addition, she stated that enrollment in the freshmen class
increased from last year and that Clarion was competitive with it's
enrollment compared with other state schools.
Furthermore, Reinhard suggested a plan to create open office hours
to allow students to address concerns directly to her attention.
Student trustee, Brian Hoover, also attended the meeting in order to
inform the senate that this current position as trustee will be open at the
end of the semester. Students who are interested must be full-time
undergraduate students in good standing with at least two semesters left
at Clarion University.
Under standing committee reports, Dining and Residence Halls con-
cerns chair, Terri Steigelman, addressed the concerns of the snack bar.
The fewer cash allowance meals is a means to expedite things; the
higher prices in Reimer are to better the quality of the food.
In the future, the twenty ounce drinks will replace the 12 ounce
drinks, and the nine inch hoagie will also be brought back.
Furthermore, four cash allowances will be available at meals, and the
coffee area will be open between Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks
to provide more seating.
Social Equity chair, Sean McDonald addressed Social Equity Night,
which will be held November 17 at 7:30pm. Student organizations
have been contacted for presentations and co-sponsorships.
The Senate also brought up suggestions and concerns about placing
tanning beds in Gemmell and providing legal counsel for university
students.
Questions were also raised concerning the status of the proposed
recreation center.

Clarion University names new deans
by Renae Kluk
News Writer
Clarion University has under-
gone several administrative
changes recently. These changes
have resulted in two new faces
and one promotion.
Since Dr. James Blake decided
to return to the classroom his
position as executive dean of
Venango Campus needed to be
filled. Dr. Arthur Acton was
named his successor.
Dr. Acton comes to Venango
Campus from Chatham College
in Pittsburgh, where he was vice
president for academic affairs
since 1992.
In addition to his work at
Chatham, Acton has also served
as vice president for academic
affairs at Ohio Northern
University, academic dean and
vice president for academic
affairs at Waynesburg College,
and several positions at Marietta
College, including associate dean
of the college and director of
continuing education
"I was looking for a position
with more executive duties than I
had in my other positions," he
says. "I wanted to stay in western
Pennsylvania and I was also
interested in moving into the
public sector. All of my previous
experience has been with private
colleges."
Part of the Venango Campus
mission is to provide new pro-
grams and this is something that
Acton will be working to
achieve. "There are new pro-
grams in development, such as
occupational therapy assistant,"
he says. "I think these programs
dovetail with the Venango
Campus mission. One of the
things I have done most over the
last eight years is bring new pro-
grams on line and I hope to com-
plete these additions and get oth-
ers started."
Dr. Acton received his A.B. in
history from The College of
Wooster, and M.A. and Ph.D. in
history from the University of
Michigan. He has taught history
since 1967, published numerous
papers, and successfully applied

~Dk. Arnold Coopen
Dean op ihe College op
Education and Human Semces
for nearly $5 million in grants at
the institutions where he has
worked.
Dr. Arnold Cooper is looking
toward the future as he joins
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania as dean of the
College of Education and Human
Services.
He is taking the position previ-
ously held by Dr. Charles Duke,
who left Clarion to accept the
position of dean of the Reich
College of Education at
Appalachian State University,
Boone, North Carolina
He was most recently chair and
professor of the department of
education at Lincoln University
in Missouri. He also has experi-
ence at DePauw University,
Moorhead State University,
Kansas State University,
Denmark Technical College,
Jefferson State Junior College,
and Richard Bland College, in
addition to teaching and adminis-
trative positions in several high
schools.
"By coming to Clarion I am
coming home intellectually, it
stands for all the things I have
stood for in my career," Cooper
stated.
Cooper will be seeking even
more cooperation both externally
and internally through the college
of Education and Human
Services. "It takes a university to

educate a teacher, and a practi-
tioner in the field to help," he
says. "College students now have
a lot of practical field experience.
They really need to cultivate
these connections in a formal,
public way."
Cooper states that, "Another of
my attractions for coming to
Clarion is that it serves
Pennsylvania well and has left its
stamp on this region. Clarion is
well positioned to educate and
have an impact on equal educa-
tion. We have a chance to be a
real voice in this matter."
Cooper also wants to increase
the connections between the
College of Education and Human
Services and other colleges on
campus.
"I want to articulate with the
other colleges. We cannot afford
to put on blinders to what others
are doing. The new general edu-
cation curriculum is a sign of
what Clarion University has to
offer. We need to act collegially.
Students who see this leave
knowing that this is the appropri-
ate way to act."
Accepting a position at Clarion
is a return to Pennsylvania for
Cooper, a Philadelphia native,
who earned his B.S. degree at
West Chester University of
Pennsylvania He went on to earn
M.A.'s from Duke University
and Pepperdine University, and
Ph.D from Iowa State University.
Last year at this time, Dr.
Stephen Johnson was helping
students prepare for a busy year
as Clarion University of
Pennsylvania Director of Bands.
This year Johnson will still be
helping students and working to
strengthen academic programs as
the new associate dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences. He
started in this position on June 12
after spending the last two years
as director of bands and a music
department faculty member.
"The College conducted an
internal search for the new asso-
ciate dean," says Johnson. "Many
of the responsibilities listed in the
job description were issues I had
exposure to and so I did not feel
that I was walking into this posi-
tion without some previous expe-
rience."
That experience came when
Johnson was a graduate assistant
for the University of Maryland's
College of Education. He worked
as a full-time academic advisor
and as graduate assistant to the
dean.
One of Dr. Johnson's goals is to
establish a closer relationship
with the College of Education
and Human Services. He says,
"Many faculty members in arts
and sciences teach courses to
advise students from the College
of Education. My degree and
experience in education will
enable me to facilitate this
process."
His responsibilities will also
include troubleshooting with stu-
dents who are experiencing acad-

emic problems. He offered this
advice saying, "A proactive
approach which includes excel-
lent academic advising early in
students' academic program will
reduce the number of students
experiencing academic problems
as they approach completion of
their degrees."
Expanding the "Making
Connections" program is another
of Johnson's goals. "I would like
to see more students involved in
the Making Connections pro-
gram," he says. "It is available
only at the freshman level now
and I would like to see course
clusters made available to stu-
dents at the junior and senior lev-
els. To do this we will need to
locate additional funding
sources, find ways to involve
more faculty, and increase choic-
es to attract more students."
Dr. Johnson's Ph.D. from the
University of Maryland is in
instrumental music curriculum
and instruction. He received his
B.S. with an emphasis in instru-
mental music from Mansfield
University and M.M. perfor-
mance degree from Arizona State
University, Tempe, Az. He taught
for Sullivan County Junior-
Senior High School and New
Covenant Academy and was
media technician for Mansfield
University's Butler Center Music
Library prior to joining Clarion
University.

Rec center referendum on hold
by Megan Casey
News Writer
A student referendum will be
the next step in deciding the fate
of the proposed recreation center.
The referendum comes after the
completion of last spring's feasi-
blity study that cost approximate-
ly $20,000.
The recreation center commit-
tee examined possible costs and
benefits of the center.
The study was then presented
to the University Facility
Planning Committee.
With administrative approval,
a student referendum will be held
sometime this semester.
During a telephone interview
with Student Senate President,
Jay Smith, he stated that "Senate
will be recommending to do a
referendum in two or three
weeks."
If the referendum passes, the
project will be sent to the local
Board of Trustees for review, and
then to the SSHE Chancellor.
After the Chancellor's
approval, Clarion University
could proceed with the actual hir-
ing of designers.
According to Dr. George Curtis,
Vice President of Student Affairs,
this process could take anywhere
from one and a half to two years.
Physical construction on the
recreation center is estimated to
last one year.
A campaign to inform new stu-
dents about the rec center will be
undertaken before the referen-
dum is held.
"I think there's information we
need to get out to the students'"
commented Dr. Curtis.
Brochures containing diagrams,
funding, and other pertinent
information may be offered,
along with informational meet-
ings and additional coverage in
the Clarion Call.
The proposed site for the center
is the Campbell Hall side of park-
ing lot B.
Several options for replacement
of parking spaces lost to the
recreation center are mentioned
in the feasiblity study.
Among these are:
•expansion of the lot
behind Pierce
•expansion of the
McEntire lot
•purchasing additional
land adjacent to the campus and
constructing a new lot
The proposed building is two
stories high and has an estimated
cost of $5 million.

Council of Trustees pass plan for ISF

« V *. • — w » • i
The Clarion University Council
of Trustees met in May and
passed an accountability plan for
the utilization of the Instructional
support fee.
The plan was unanimously
passed for the use of the 10%
fund.
Dr. Heather Haberaecker, Vice
President for Finance and
Administration, presented the
plan.
The original fee was instituted
by the Trustees in 1990. "The
Instructional Support Fee rev-
enue will only be used to upgrade
instructional equipment, improve
library holdings, and for other
instructional support purposes
which directly benefit students,
except in cases of unusual emer-
gency as determined by the pres-
ident," said Haberaecker in a
written summary of the plan.
"In such cases, the president
will notify the Student and
Faculty Senates of the intended
use of the ISF funds and the
expected duration of the emer-
gency and seek Council of
Trustees approval."
At each July meeting, the
Trustees are required to adopt a
proposed ISF budget according
to the new plan which must spec-
ify the types and amounts of
expenditures to be made from the
fund.
The ISF budget for the next
year will be budgeted prior to the
end of each spring semester.
Student support is important in
implementing the plan. An open
forum, sponsored by Student
Senate, will be held in the spring
semester.
In an effort to prioritize
requests, individual colleges will
be required to obtain advice from
students and faculty for
Equipment Initiative Funds and
for distribution of any temporary
budget savings for purchase of
such things as equipment and
instructional support items.
Along with the plans for distri-
bution of the funds, other points
were made. $278,000 of the ISF
funds currently devoted to the
contingency will gradually be
redirected back to instructional
support purposes.
Also at the meeting, a number
of new programs are being devel-
oped for the Venango campus of
Clarion University. Dr. Joseph
Grunewald, interim executive
dean of Venango campus present-
ed the summary of activities.
Included in Grunewald's sum-
mary was an occupational thera-
py assistant program that, after
receiving possible approval this
month, could start in January
1996.
A joint degree program with
Penn State Shenango in mechan-
ical engineering technology is
prepared.
Pending approval from Penn
State the program could start as
early as Fall 1996.
Also, a program under develop-
ment at Venango is radio technol-
ogy and the State System of
Higher Education has approved a
masters program for nurse practi-
tioners.
Four new minors, requested by
Dr. John Kuhn Provost and
Academic Vice-President were
also approved by the Trustees.
Those four minors include math-
ematics, consisting of 20 hours
taken from existing courses.
Mathematics with an emphasis
on statistics, consisting of 20
hours taken from existing courses
has been added.
Also, theater with and emphasis
on dance consisting of 18 semes-
ter hours plus required perfor-
mance participation in at least on
euniversity theater dance conceit.
Finally, a sociology minor, con-
sisting of 18 semester hours.
These minors are in effect for fall
semester 1995.

In actuality, they never did. But
in the play "The Meeting," by
Jeff Stenson, imagination
becomes reality.
"The Meeting" will be per-
formed by the award winning Pin
Points Theatre of London, Ct, at
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania on Sept. 21 at 7
p.m. in Hart Chapel Theatre. The
performance is free and open to
the public. It is sponsored by the
Clarion University Martin Luther
King Jr. Committee.
This play is the winner of a
Louis B. Mayer Award, eight
1987 NAACP Theater Awards,
and six New York AUDELCO
nominations. Stetson is also the
author of the plays "And the Men
Shall Also Gather," 'To Find a
Man," "Fathers and Other
Strangers," and "Fraternity."
Although coming from vastly
different backgrounds, Malcolm
X and Martin Luther King Jr. had
many similarities in their lives.
Malcolm X was born in 1925.

Following the murder of his
father he spent his youth moving
from receiving home to receiving
home until he found permanent
residence on the streets of New
York. A school dropout at age 15,
he was later arrested for armed
robbery. While in prison, he
taught nunselt to read and write.
He became a Muslim minister
and used international forums to
organize self-defense, education-
al, and political programs for
African people. He believed his
credo, "Freedom by any means
necessary," was no more violent
that Patrick Henry's, "
Liberty...or death." Malcolm X
was assassinated at the age of 40.
Martin Luther King Jr. was
born in 1929. His firm, family
structure and economic advan-

received his moral foundation
from his Baptist preacher father.
At age 15, he was admitted to
Morehouse College and received

from Boston University.
He became a Baptist Minister
and created his own strategy of
non-violence based on the teach-

with our capacity to love (you)."
He was assassinated at the age of
39.

Cathal McConnell and Lenn Graham
Irish Musicians to perform
by Laurie Doherty and
Joe Schaaf
Cathal McConnell and Lenn
Graham, two masters of Irish
music, will perform a free con-
cert on Monday, Sept. 18, at 7
p.m. in the Hart Chapel Theatre.
The concert is sponsored by the
Clarion University College of
Arts and Sciences.
McConnell and Graham are
two of Ireland's best known and
well loved personalities of Irish
traditional music. Doth have won
All-Ireland championships and
are members of internationally
known bands - The Boys of the
Lough and Skylark.
Haliing from the County of
Fermanagh, Ireland, an area rich
with musicians, McConnell has
emerged as one of the best flute
and whistle players of his time.
Born into a family whose legacy
is rich with musical tradition,
McConnell began playing the
whisde at age 11 with the encour-
agement of his father and local
teacher. At 15 he took up the
flute. And in 1962, at the age of
18, he became the All-Ireland
champion on both instruments.
McConnell has also developed as
an accomplished tradional Irish
singer with a large repertoire
including long ballads, serious
songs, and some humorous
pieces.
Since 1974, McConnell has
been a principle member of the
internationally acclaimed ensem-
ble The Boys of the Lough, and
he continues to perform with
them at major venues throughout
the world. He has also produced a
set of instructional materials on
the tin whisde.
Graham is acknowledged as
one of the foremost authorities on
Irish songs. In 1971, he won the
All-Ireland Traditional Singing
Competition. He has devoted
much of his life to collecting and
singing the songs of Ireland- in
particular, the songs of North
Ireland. He comes from an area
abundant with folk song, music,
and lore - the County Antrim.
Antrim provides one of the
largest folk song collections in
existence, "The Songs of the
People." These songs were pub-
lished weekly in the Coleraine
newspaper (The Northern
Constitution^ between 1923 and
1939. (This collection has recent-
ly been published in the U.S.)
Graham is currendy working
on his own personal folk song
and music collection, which be
first started in the early 1960's.
He is the folk music advisor to
Ulster Television, and he has pre-
sented and performed on numer-
ous Irish and international radio
and television programs.
Over the years, Graham and
McConnell have been the source
of numerous songs recorded by
many groups and individual
artists. Some of these artists
include: The Chieftains, The
Dubliners, The Boys of the
Lough, Skylark, Altan, Cherish
the Ladies, Battle Band, and
Dolores Keane.
Between them, they have been
featured on over 30 albums.
Many of these have received top
awards with nominations from
Grammy (U.S.), Deutschen
Schallplatten (Germany), and
Folk Albums of the Year
(Ireland). The recent McConnell/
Graham duet album, For the Sake
of Old Decency, has been nomi-
nated for the National
Association of Independant
Record Distributors and
Manufacturers (NAIRD) as one
of the top Celtic/British releases
of 1994.

Volunteers .Because Change is Possible
by Gara L Smith
Intern, Community Service
Learning
In her latest song, "Helping
Hand," Amy Grant asks a pro-
found question to her listeners.
Grant states, "Everybody needs a
helping hand... take a look at your
fellow man ...and ask, 'What can I
do today?'" Indeed, millions of
men, women and children are in
need of a "helping hand." In turn,
millions of men, women and chil-
dren are volunteering their time,
skills and services to assist those
in need.

Although community service
has been an integral part of
Clarion University for several
1 years, we are beginning our sec-
ond year of full operation with
the Community Service Learning
(CSL) Office. Under the direc-
tion of Diana Anderson, Director
of Special Activity Programs,
CSL is an interdisciplinary effort
seeking to integrate values edu-
cation within the Clarion
University learning process by
directing students to a variety of
community service-based needs.
The CSL is responsible for the
coordination of student volunteer
and service-learning programs
and activities within the Student
Affairs Division; promotion of
service related opportunities to
the University Community and
coordination of the off-campus
service-learning work study posi-
tions.
Pam Bedison, a 1993 graduate
of Clarion University and
Americorps member, serves as
the CSL project coordinator. She
coordinates registration for agen-
cies, students and groups along
with The Community Service
Bulletin, the Service Advisory
Board, the Community Service
Opportunity Fair and the
Volunteer Connection
Newsletter. Currently, Bedison
also serves as an advisor of
Clarion University's chapter of
Alpha Phi Omega, a nationally
co-ed service fraternity. "I have
always liked to meet new people
and learn interesting aspects
about them by living in their
world."
During the 1994-95 academic
year, students reported over
15,000 service hours to the CSL
Office. Students participated in a
variety of service activities such
Eric Wilson/ Clarion Call
Pam Bedison
as: bloodmobiles, tutoring,
Adopt-A-Grandparent, Habitat
for Humanity, Special Olympics,
Red Ribbon Week, and Food for
Friends. "This year we expect an
increase of volunteers and volun-
teer services from the university
community," states Anderson.
In compliance with the Higher
Education Amendments of 1992,
eight off-campus federal work-
study positions were established
to provide students with service-
learning opportunities related to
their educational and/or career
goals. The Fall 1995 off-campus
work study students are:
Christina Swanson, Clarion
County Area Agency on Aging;
Leslie Surovick, Clarion County
Literacy Council; Heather
Lehman, Clarion Free Library;
Amber Cooper, Family Health
Council - Clarion Office;
Jennifer Feicht, Rape Crisis
Center, Inc.; Christine Granger,
Stop Abuse for Everyone
(S.A.F.E.); Jennifer Borrasso,
Clarion County YMCA; and
Terri Steigelman, First
Presbyterian Church "After
School Program".
Clarion University students
also have the opportunity for ser-
vice -learning with the Adopt-A-
School program. Jenny Dalby,
student coordinator of Adopt-A-
School, states, "This program is a
wonderful opportunity for uni-
versity students to work with
children at the Immaculate
Conception and Clarion Area
Schools." She further comments,
"Don't feel you must be an edu-
cation major to work with these
children. We are searching for
people with a strong commitment
to children and a big heart."
Students, staff and the Clarion
community are invited to attend
the Fourth Annual Community
Service Opportunity Fair on
Wednesday, October 4, from 1-
4:30 pm in Gemmell MP room.
Last year approximately 200 stu-
dents took advantage of the fair
and met representatives from
over 30 Clarion area agencies.
Agencies included; United Way,
Clarion County Community
Action, March of Dimes,
Children and Youth Services,
Clarion Psychiatric Center, Drug
and Alcohol, etc.
An advantage to volunteering is
that it is a two-way street. Not
only does the person you help
benefit but you also get some-
thing out of it too. As Bedison
describes, "Volunteering is a nat-
ural high for me. I bet it can be
for you too." This year's CSL
motto is "Volunteer.. .Because
Change is Possible." Indeed,
change is possible if you give a
helping hand.

ing community service learning,

Fulbright Scholar at CUP
Courtesy of
University Relations
Guzal Abodoullina, pianist and
holder of the "Distinguished
Peoples Artist Award" is a
Fulbright Scholar - In -
Residence at Clarion University
of Pennsylvania during the 1995-
96 academic year.
"I am looking forward to work-
ing here," says Abdoullina, who
is still adjusting her British
taught English to that of western
Pennsylvania. She is being
helped in the transition by Maria
Braun of D & M Consulting
Services Inc., of Clarion.
During her time in the United
States, Abdoullina will be per-
forming, giving piano work-
shops, possibly teaching a course
in Russian music, and pursuing
research of piano music of
American composers. "I hope
that I will improve my knowl-
edge of American contemporary
music," she says. "It is an inter-
esting subject, one that there are
not enough possibilities to learn
at home. There are various ways
to know and understand the
music. I will attend classes at
Clarion, do some traveling, use
the library for records, tapes, and
books, and most of all listen to
American music."
Abdoullina is a professor of
piano at Kazan State
Conservatory, Republic of
Tatarstan, Russia, where she may
introduce a course in American
music when she returns.
Abdoullina's introduction to
Clarion was through a meeting
with Dr. Dilara Nikoulin, a
Clarion University faculty emeri-
tus and also a part of D & M
Consulting Services Inc., and
Nikoulin' s daughter, Maria
Braun.
Nikoulin and Braun attended a
conference in Moscow where
they met professors from the out-
lying regions of the then U.S.S.R.
They were invited to a confer-
ence in Kazan where they met
Abdoullina.
Returning home, they told Dr.
Donald Black, then chair of
Clarion University music depart-
ment, about Abdoullina and her
interest in the United States. He
suggested a Fulbright Award to
bring her to Clarion. The
Fulbright of Arkansas is designed
"to increase mutual understand-
ing between the people of the
U.S. and the people of other
countries."
"I applied for Clarion
University and the department of
music to be the host for a
Fulbright - Scholar - In -
Residence," says Black. "It
involved filling out a 30 page
document and agreeing on coor-
dinate activities in terms of
research, performances, academ-
ic activities, and arranging con-
tracts with the community and
surrounding institutions."
The arrangments were support-
ed by: President Diane L.
Reinhard; Dr. Kuhn, provost and
academic vice president; and Dr.
Guzal Abdoullina
Helen Lepke, director of interna-
tional programs and associate
academic vice president.
Several years later, with the fall
of communism in Russia and the
aid of Abdoullina's brother, Dr.
Rubin Abdoullina, (president of
Kazan State Conservatory), the
idea has been fulfilled.
Kazan has two million residents
and is a cultural center for the
region, housing several universi-
ties and conservatories.
Moving to a rural community
such as Clarion, means lots of
adjustments for Abdoullina. One
thing that will certainly ease her
relocation tensions, is the pres-
ence of her 14-year-old daughter
Dana. Darja is scheduled to join
her mother in the near future;
however, she is currently partici-
pating in an international piano
competition in Japan. Should she
win the competition, she will be
committed to a series of conceit
performances.
"I am tense and stressed by the
situation," says Abdoullina, "I
am pleased Darja has the educa-
tion to compete and that she will
get to see more of the world, but
I have a mothers concern."
Abdoullina has been perform-
ing since 1962 throughout Russia
and other countries in the former
Soviet block. More recently, she
has performed in France,
Finland, Germany, and
Switzerland. Her repertoire
includes the major works of
Bach, Chopin, Liszt, Schubert,
and Schumann. She also per-
forms the compositions of
Tatarstan composers, represent-
ing the strong interest in the
music of her region.
She is an honors graduate of the
Moscow State Conservatory,
where she won several piano
competitions. Currently at Kazan
State, she heads the advanced
piano, orchestration and chamber
music sections. She is also the
author of a piano method publi-
cation.
Abdoullina has a recital sched-
uled in the Hart Chapel on Sept
24, at 7 p.m. Piano workshops
with Abdoullina are scheduled
for Nov. 11 and Dec. 2. She is
also scheduled to perform recitals
on Oct 1 at Northeast Missouri
University, Kirksville, Mo., and
on Oct. 11, at 8 pjn, in the Swope
Recitla Hall at Slippery Rock
University of Pennsylvania.
Her visit to Clarion University
continues as an expanded inter-
national effort by the institution.
Dr. Engel Tagirov and Dr. Shamil
Valitov, both faculty members at
the Kazan Institute, visited
Clarion's College of Buisness
Administration last April and
May.
Clarion has a student and facul-
ty exchange with the University
of Malta, as well as exchange
agreements with Southern
Denmark Buisness School, Vaxjo
University and the Vaxjo Health
Institute of Sweden, and the
University of Tartu in Estonia.
Also a field school in geography
and archeology was recently con-
ducted in Antigua.

13- Year-Old Leads Astronomy Class
Courtesy of
University Relations
It is not unusual for a student to
have the highest scores on all
tests given in a college course.
However, it is unusual when the
student is only 13-years-old and
just entering eighth grade at
Karns City Junior-Senior High
School.
Justin Wick, of Karns City, did
just that when he participated in
CUP's "Earth Science 200—
Solar System Astronomy" class
during the second summer ses-
sion.
"Science and math are my two
favorite subjects," says Wick. "I
like meteorology, astronomy, and
all of the physical sciences. I
enjoyed the class, but I expected
it to be more difficult. It was
totally different from going to
regular school. I learned a lot."
Wick qualified to take the
course at Clarion University by
being a Johns Hopkins Center for
Talented Youth regional winner.
The Johns Hopkins program's
objective is to encourage young
people to become interested in
college.
A deciding factor in The
Hopkins Award was Wick's com-
bined sore of 1190 on the
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT).
The exam, which tests verbal
and mathematics skills, is ussual-
ly taken by students at the junior
or senior year in high school.
Wick achieved his score even
though he has not taken algebra
or any other advanced mathemat-
ics course.
Wick is a son of Eric and Kim
Wick, both Grove City College
graduates. Eric is a roofer and
Kim a homemaker. Wick has a
brother, Adam, a fourth grader,
and a sister, Christina, who starts
kindergarten this Fall.
"Wick is Mr. Science," says his
mother. "He has a natural bent
toward it We encourage him and
it's what he likes to do. Eric was
good in science and he helps
Justin. When Justin wants to
know things be learns for him-
self."
That is reflected in Wick's
statements about his quest for
knowledge. "Ever since I was lit-
tle, I wanted to know about
things," be says. "I watched a lot
of educational television and
taught myself. I don't read much
fiction, but I learn from a lot of
reference books and magazines
with science information. My
Dad also helps me alot."
It all helped prepare him for
Solar System Astronomy.
According to Dr. Stephen Shulik.
assistant professor of Geography
and Earth Science, the class is
designed mainly for sophomore
earth science majors but taken by
a wide variety of students. The
course covers such topics as:
by Ed Wargula
and David Graham
Hello, and welcome back to a
new semester here at Clarion
University! We are Ed and Dave,
and this semester we will be
reviewing the latest in CD releas-
es. We will also be informing you
of events in the world of music
from the local scene to national
acts.
We start off the year with the
latest release from The Red Hot
Chili Peppers, who, after four
years and three guitarists, are
back with "One Hot Minute."
This release was produced by
Rick Rubin, who also produced
the "Blood Sugar Sex Magick"
album in 1991.
"One Hot Minute" finds the
Chili Peppers treading on some
familiar ground, as well as
exploring some new horizons.
The newest ingredient to the
Chili Pepper stew is ex-Janes
Addiction guitarist Dave
Navarro, who brings a new sonic
identity to the band.
The lead-off track to the album
is "Warped," which has been
recieving considerable airplay
on both radio and MTV. This
song demonstrates not only a
new sound, but a different direc-
tion for the Chili Peppers.
It also exhibits a return to the
sounds of the days when Hillel
Slovak and Jack Irons were
members of this funky foursome.
The song "Old Big Mob" could
easily fit on such classic Chili
Pepper albums as "The Uplift
Mofo Party Plan" and the George
Clinton produced album "Freaky
Styley."
And speaking of the funk mas-
ter Clinton (George, not Bill - the
Clinton that DOES inhale), check
out the P-Funk groovieness of
"Walkabout," which is funkier
than an old pair of gym socks.
Flea's bootsy-like bass {Dump-
ings mesh well with Navarro's
slinky funk guitar lines to form a
song that Dr. Dre could only
dream of sampling for his next
album.
Of course, no Chili Peppers
album would be complete with-
out the ballads. After the success
of 199 l's "Under The Bridge,"
the Peppers find themselves not
only as funkmeisters, but as bal-
ladeers too. These slower songs,
however, are not just a rehash of
"Under The Bridge," but repre-
sent a new direction of the Chili
Peppers. The first obvious radio-
friendly cut is "My Friends,"
which drifts along on a flowing
guitar line with a decidedly dif-
ferent feel. Another obvious hit
single is "Tearjerker," which will
have most teenage girls crying in
front of thier Anthony Kiedis
posters.
"Pea" features only vocals,
sung by Flea, and acoustic bass to
put forth a prideful statement
about not conforming to society's
norms. 'Deep Kick" starts almost
as a Hendrix-like spoken word
eclipses, lunar phases, electro-
magnetic spectrum, telescopes,
meteors, comets, and the history
of early astronomy.
"It was an interesting situation
having Justin in class," says
Shulik. "I treated him like a col-
lege age student. It was obvious
that there were concepts that he
had not been exposed to yet, so I
had to be careful of the examples
I used in my teaching."
According to Wick, being in a
college classroom felt midly
intimidating, "I felt a little isolat-
ed because of my age," he
recalls. "I'm small for my age
and everyone looked twice as tall
as me. I didn't spend much time
socializing with other students.
The students weren't real
suprised to see me in class; how-
ever, I think that they expected
me to do well because I was
there. Dr. Shulik is a nice profes-
sor, I enjoyed his lectures. The
course was really interesting."
"I enjoyed having him," says
Shulik, "The course is challeng-
ing, and you never know what a
student will achieve."
Wick's other interests include:
ham radio, computers, electron-
ics, and watching The Discovery
Channel. He also plans to attend
college someday.
"I would like to go to MIT, if I
can get a scholarship," says
Wick, "Otherwise, it would be to
expensive."
Wick's mother sees Wick
reaching these goals, "he works
hard and he studies," she says.
"We [Wick's parents] are really
proud of him and amazed at what
he has accomplished. We are
pleasantly surprised that he got
the scholarship. We decided on a
summer session at Clarion
University because it wouldn't
interfere with his regular school
year."
intro, then kicks into a groove
simular to "Warped."
For a harder, more traditional
sound check out "Falling Into
Grace," "Shallow Be Thy
Game," and "Coffee Shop,"
where you'll find the funky four-
some doing what they do best.
The most unique track is the
final track, 'Transcending." On
this track you'll find the Chili
Peppers exploring a new direc-
tion, which may be an indicator
of their future plans. The outro
guitar solo has hints of Janes
Addiction's 'Three Days," using
a spacey psychedelic jam that
Blind Melon could only imagine
coining up with.

SPORTS
Westminster crushed 42-0
Golden Eagle Football soars to 2-0
by Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
Out the door come the high fly-
ing Clarion Golden Eagle
Football team.
Coach Luke and the boys have
started off 2-0 this season with a
dramatic 24-23 win at home
against West Virginia Wesleyan,
and a pounding of NAIA
Division II National Champion
Westminster 42-0.
West Virginia Wesleyan was an
extremely talented team and the
Golden Eagles trailed 23-16 with
1:56 left in the game and the ball
on their own 15.
The Golden Eagles drove 85 -
yards on 8 plays and scored on a
4-yard td pass from sophomore
QB Chris Weibel to first year
receiver Alvin Slaughter.
On the 2 point conversion,
Weibel spotted a wide open Chris
Skultety and drilled a bullet right
in his numbers to give the Eagles
the victory.
Going into the Westminster
game there were a lot of uncer-
tainties.
Clarion wasn't sure how well
the young players would react
"We have the utmost respect for
Westminster," stated Clarion
head coach Malen Luke, a 1976
Westminster graduate.
"They are a very disciplined,
well coached football team.
They possess a talented football
team that excels in the fundamen-
tals of the game.
We need to play an error-free
game if we expect to win," Luke
added.
An error free game is just what
he got from his team.
Clarion literally dominated the
Westminster Titans on both sides
of the ball for the entire game.
Clarion had the ball for 25:36,
compared to Westminster's
19:24.
The Golden Eagle offense
racked up 553 yards behind the
outsatnding play of the offensive
line.
The defense held Westminster to
100 yards total offense.
The Titans star running back
Andy Blatt was injured, but two
Andy Blatt's couldn't have beat-
en the Golden Eagles last
Saturday.
The most important aspect of
The offensive line manhandled Westminster last week, and
Fairmont College.
Eric Wilson/Clarion Call
looks to do the same this week as the Golden Eagles take on
this game was that when you play
a sport, you have a game plan.
Coach Luke, his staff, and the
Golden Eagles followed their
game plan to perfection, and the
result was the best football game
played by Clarion University in a
long time.
This Saturday the Golden
Eagles travel to Fairmont State
College and will attempt to
extend the winning streak to
three. Kickoff at FSC's Rosier
Field is set for 1:00 p.m.
Fairmont State, led by fourth
year head coach Doug Sams,
enters the game with an 0-1
record this season, losing their
opener at California (PA) 28-26.
The Falcons had a chance to tie
the game in the final seconds
with a two-point conversion after
a late TD, but missed the conver-
sion.
FSC was 3-7 last season and
Sams enters the game with a
record of 10-21 at Fairmont.
"Fairmont has a very solid
team," reflected Luke.
"They played Cal very tough and
led a good portion of the game,
and with 21 starters back,
Fairmont has the talent and expe-
rience to be a force in the
WVIAC this year," he added.
"We know we'll have our hands
full on both sides of the ball,"
Luke stated.
In 1995, Clarion's offense is
averaging 33 points per game and
468.5 yards of total offense per
game.
On the ground, the Eagles are
averaging 271.5 yards, while get-
ting another 197 through the air.
Quarterback Chris Weibel leads
the way on offense throwing to
receivers Alvin Slaughter, Mark
Witte, Chris Skultety, and tight
end Chad Speakman.
The running game is led by
Steve Witte and Ron Dejidas.
Both had 100 yard performances,
and combined with help from
Godfrey Bethea, the Golden
Eagles have a powerful ground
game.
The ground game wouldn't
work if it wasn't for the Eagles
strong offensive line captained
by center John Smith, Derek
Mackay, Chris "Hoss" Kiker,
Chris Martin, and Tim"Cat in the
Hat" Sohyda anchor an experi-
enced and strong offensive line.
The shutout posted by the
defense was the first shutout by
Clarion since 1987 when they
shutout Shippensburg 35-0.
The Golden Eagles are permit-
ting 11.5 points per game and
248 yards of total offense per out-
ing.
Opponents are getting 48.5
yards rushing and 199.5 through
the air.
Leading the way up front are
Joe Morlacci, Jason Slizofski,
and Shad Sahm.
The perimeters are guarded by
Joe Bzorek, Wayne Ailing, and
Phil Rayford, while the lineback-
ing corps is solid with Erik
Baumener and Thomas Williams.

Coach Burns ready to win
Spikers ready to slam competition
by Amy Mortimer
Sports Yfriter
Jcxli Burns picks up where for-
mer head coach Sue Karrs left off
last season with three years of
assistant coaching and also being
a member of the team behind her.
Although the team has a greater
number of freshmen, Bums feels
that her two senior co-captains
and three returning sophomores
will create a strong backbone to
hold the team up to the challenge
of success.
"The ten freshmen have shown
talent and promise during the off-
season," Bums said.
The season began with a tour-
nament at Fairmont State. The
spikers buried West Liberty,
Glenville, and Concord, but suf-
fered defeat at the hands of
Wheeling Jesuit, Fairmont State,
and Lock Haven.
The Golden Eagles suffered
defeat once again at the hands of
Lock Haven on September 5th.
"We look forward to playing
them again," Coach Bums said.
The weekend of September 8-9,
the spikers played at home in the
Clarion Classic. Their first of
.our games was played against
Mercyhurst.

Although Slippery Rock won

came away with good feelings
for the future,
"The tournament was very

"There was no easy winning, I
am very proud of the team," she
added.
Jenny Betters was named the
MVP of the entire tournament
"It is a very big honor," said a

"We are definitely doing very

Cornerbacks wanted
Bring on Marino and the Dolphins
by Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
As of right now, the Pittsburgh
Steelers are looking pretty good.
They didn't play that well against
Detroit, but were able to come
away with a 3 point victory.
Against Houston, the defense
dominated the game for the
Steelers, especially when
Houston was on the goal line for
what seemed to be a year and a
half.
But Rod Woodson had knee
surgery Tuesday, and Deon
Figures is probably not going to
start against the Miami Dolphins
on Monday night in Joe Robbie
Stadium.
This is a big game for the
Steelers, but it is not crucial. The
Steelers and the Dolphins are the
favorites to win the AFC
Championship. With the losses
of these comers, one would say
that it may be impossible to
defeat the pass minded Dolphins,
led by western PAs own Dan
Marino.
Nothing is impossible, but the
Steelers are definitely going to be
tested. More than likely if you
didn't get your fill of "Wee"
Willie Williams and Alvoid
Toast" Mays last week, you will
get more than your full share of
these guys this week.
How can I say that this is not a
crucial game? In a way it is a
very crucial game, because as I
stated earlier, the Steelers and
Dolphins are the favorites to win
the AFC. But the game does take
place in the third week of the sea-
son and both teams, win or lose,
have thirteen more games left to
play.
It would be nice for the Steelers
to pick up a win against the tal-
ented Dolphin club, but if they
don't it doesn't necessarily mean
that the season is over.
Camell Lake, Darren Perry,
Greg Lloyd, Kevin Greene, and
the rest of the defense must step
up and help the inexperienced
comers in order for the Steelers

to achieve their goal of a success-
ful victory.
Another must is that "Bam"
Morris be able to rush for 100
yards. This will wear down a
suspect Dolphin defense, and
keep Dan Marino off the field.
Eric "Pee Wee" Pegram is
another key. Pegram will be uti-
lized to the fullest extent this
Monday and hopefully he
responds by not fumbling.
Hopefully, John L. Williams
will be able to step in this week,
because he was greatly missed
last week. Mark Bruener will be
another help to the offense this
week.
Am I saying that the offense is
the key to a Steelers victory this
Monday? In so many words yes,
and in so many words no.
The offense must be counted on
greatly to defeat the Dolphins,
but it is going to take a huge
defensive performance as well.
Not as many blitzes and more
dime and nickel packages will be
used, and hopefully someone will
be able to cover Irving Fryar and
limit him to as few catches as
possible.
The more than capable Steeler
defensive line will be able to
squash Miami's running game,
but the rest is all up in the air, and
that's where the Steelers must
come together as a team.
More than likely, Norm
Johnson will play an integral role
in Monday Night's game. I look
for Johnson to make at least 3-4
field goals.
I am not saying that I think the
offense is going to stall and not
put points in the end zone, but
history shows that the Pittsburgh
Steelers kick a couple field
goals a game.
I was one of the many who was
extremely upset when Gary
Anderson was not brought back,
and then they bring in a goat like
Dean Biasucci.
Biasucci had a terrible year last
year kicking in a dome, and I
wonder how he would have fared
this year kicking in the snow?
Photo Courtesy of Pittsburgh Steelers
Will the Steelers be able to compete at a higher level without Rod Woodson?
Thankfully Norm Johnson was
available.
This was the biggest break that
the Steelers got this year. One of
the best kickers in NFL history
leaves your team and you replace
him with sub par Dean Biasucci.
Steelers Director of Football
Operations Tom Donahoe looked
like he had egg all over his face,
but was able to replace that NFL
great, with a kicker in Norm
Johnson, who is probably just as
good as Gary Anderson.
The kicking game plays an
important role in the Steelers
game plan, and for a player of
Norm Johnson's caliber to be
available to the Steelers when
they needed him most,t was truly
a blessing from above.
The Steelers got a break like
this last year with Tim Mckyer? I
wonder if they miss him now?
Nothing less than a better than
average performance by the
offense and defense is exactly
what it is going to take to get the
Steelers their third victory of the
season.
It will be very interesting to see
what happens this week.
Whether positive or negative,
the media will scrutinize the
Steelers every move.
Hopefully all are talking about
how the Steelers overcame the
tough injuries that they have suf-
fered, and handily defeated the 7
point favorite Miami Doplhins.
But if not, remember what I
said earlier.
This is only the third week of
the season and it is no time to
start negative PR towards the
Steelers.
You never know though, if I
was Tom Donahoe, I might be
carefully viewing other teams
around the league, in search of a
comerback.
God knows they could sure use
one.
But as we all know, Tom
Donahoe never does what people
think he should do, then again,
he doesn't have to.
Sit back and enjoy the ride. It
should be quite an interesting
one.

McClatchv or D.C
Are the Buccos on the way
by Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
I remember saying this last
semester, and I thought that
maybe it wouldn't happen. Well
guess what. It's going to.
The deadline is two weeks.
California businessman Kevin
McClatchy has been given two
weeks to bid on the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
If McClatchy doesn't get the
Buccos, the team will be sold to
outside interests.
These so called outside interests
would consider moving the
Pirates to the Virginia -D.C. area.
Monday nights crowd at Three
Rivers Stadium was 6,356. I am
a die hard Pirates fan and long
time believer in keeping baseball
in Pittsburgh, but maybe the time
has come.
Don't get me wrong, I hope
McClatchy comes through with a
successful bid and keeps the
Pirates in Pittsburgh, but it really
doesn't look good.
Typically, I would attend at
least 20 Pirate games a year. This
year I have been to three.
I am not mad at the Pirates, I am
mad at Major League t/aseban n
The strike that recently ruined
baseball, has had a terrible effect
on the game as a whole.
Attendance, in general, through-
out the whole league is down.
The Pirates averaged 20,375
fans per game last year, and this
year they are only averaging
13,388. What does this mean?
It means that a team that lost a
lot of money last year, has lost
even more money this year, and
to date, 400,000 people who
came to the games last year,
haven't come this year.
Do I blame them? Not really.
Yes, you should come out and
support the local team at least a
few times a year, but the Major
Leaguers showed that they did-
n't care about the fans, so why
should the fans care about the
players.
Tough question. Each fan must
carefully decide for themselves
on how they are going to view
Major League Baseball.
So what about the Pirates?
Who knows. The fate of the
Buccos, as I stated earlier, is in
the hands of Kevin McClatchy.
Two weeks will decide the fate
of the Pirates and it doesn't look
good.
It greatly saddens me to see
what I believe is going to happen.
So I'm just gonna go out on a
limb and say it
This is the last year of the
Pittsburgh Pirates. Baseball in
Pittsburgh is going to be a thing
of the past
Before the strike I wouldn't
have even been able to write this
article, but now it is much easier.
The Pittsburgh Pirates need a
miracle for them to stay in
Pittsburgh, and it isn't going to
happen.
The deadlines have passed and

the buyers have come and gone.
Rigas, Fisher, McClatchy, and
everyone else had their chance,
and no one was able to come up
with the necessary cash.
It may just be one of those
things where no one wanted it to
happen, but no one really could
do anything about it, unless you
had about $85 million to buy the
team, the ability to talk
Pittsburgh into building you a
new stadium, and the negotiating
power to get the team out of that
dump they play in now.
Years down the road their will
be groups forming to bring the
Pirates or some other team back
to Pittsburgh.
Some will argue that baseball
will work in Pittsburgh again,
and some will argue that if it fails
once, history usually repeats
itself.
Where do we go from here?
Well there are six more home
games remaining and it might be
a good idea to attend one of them.
Wednesday, September 20th is
the last regularly scheduled home
game of the season.
If what I'm telling you is true,
it could very well be the last
Pirate game in Pittsburgh ever.
By then more will be said
about McClatchy and Vrrginia-
D.C. and it just might be nice for
anyone who reads this to buy
some tickets for that game.
Go and support this team that
has brought so much to the city
of Pittsburgh.
On their worst day ever, the day
that might be their last in
Pittsburgh, it would really be nice
to welcome them at the start of
the game, as well as bid them a
fond farewell at the end of the
game.
A standing ovation would be
quite nice, and would also be
very well deserved.
I hope that by some miracle the
Pirates overcome all of these
problems and some bow are able
to stay in the city of Pittsburgh.
I'm sure the late mayor of
Pittsburgh Richard S. Caliguri,

Roberto Clemente, Honus
Wagner, Paul and Lloyd Waner,

I will too, but what can you do?
They have been given all the
chances in the world to succeed
in this town, and even when they
were winning in the early 90's,
attendance wasn't where it
should have been?
Maybe all those skeptics that I
have been arguing with for the

baseball just won't work in
Pittsburgh.

Deion. and the Penn State boys
The Bonus of being a Professional Athlete
by Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
It's the latest trend in profes-
sional sports. No, not the labor
strikes, not even new rules pre-
venting end-zone celebrations,
it's called the signing bonus.
It's like the icing on the cake,
the gravy on the potatoes that
convinces an already financially
secure professional athlete to
sign a contract with his favorite
team for that year. (Especially
Football)
The players love it because if
they slip in the shower, the next
day they get to keep all the
money. The owners and manage-
ment use it because it isn't part of
the salary cap restrictions.
It's a weapon they use to lure
and capture. I bet Kerry Collins,
(7.1 million signing bonus) is
getting plenty of calls from the
Penn State alumni relations
office wondering when the first
of his monthly installments for
the scholarship fund will be
arriving.
I wonder if Ki-Jana Carter ($
7.2 million signing bonus) ever
called Collins up saying,"Hey
Kerry, need a loan?"
Carter ran the ball three times
this preseason before tearing his
knee, setting the record for the
most expensive running plays in
NFL history.
These signing bonuses are
lunch boards at Gemmel, com-
pared to Deion Sanders record
signing bonus of $12,999,999.99.
That's a little over a million
bucks for each letter in his first
and last name.
Do you think when Cowboys
owner Jerry Jones and Deion
were negotiating, the figure they
had was thirteen million, and set-
tled on the figure they did just for
a personal joke?
Deion said himself that other
teams offered him more money, I
can only imagine what some of
those outrageous figures were for
some of those contracts.
What a catchy phrase, the sign-
ing bonus!
Let's analyze it for a second.
It sounds like you should be
getting a little extra money in
your pocket by signing the con-
tract, a little Christmas shopping
stability.
Unfortunately now a lot of con-
tracts are a fraction of the signing
bonus.
Did you know that Sanders'
contract only pays him between
170-180 thousand dollars a year
the first 2-3 years?
I know, you say that's because
he's not playing all 16 NFL
games, but that fact makes the
$13 zillion bonus more mind-
boggling.
I don't know how much Deion
makes with baseball's San
Francisco Giants, but pretty soon
1
is guy will be able to cover the
national debt
He won't need to do the
endorsements anymore. (No
more Prime Time soccer com-
mercials, Is there any justice?)
It will be interesting to see how
the signing bonus effects profes-
sional sports and its free agent
market.
The salary cap has basically
turned into a joke due to these
signing bonuses.
Something must be done and
something must be done now.
Why have a contract when you
can have a signing bonus.
The owners are basically scoff-
ing at the salary cap, and these
blatant violations have to stop.
I will never sign another docu-
ment again without fantasizing
that my John Hancock might be
worth enough money to buy the
Taj Mahal.

Monday was the start of Relationship
Violence Awareness Week on campus.
The

interactive play
about violence

The actors answered audience
questions from the character's point of
view. Statistically, 95 percent of abusers
are male and the victims are
female. A clear point was made
that abuse does occur from
female abusers as well as males,
but the issue was addressed with

the male being the abuser.
Two couples were introduced
as one in a healthy relationship
and the other in a violent one.
The same situations were dealt
with by each of the couples,
displaying the progression of a
violent relationship. Most bad
relationships begin with
emotional abuse. It may occur
alone, but it is often
accompanied with or leads to
physical abuse. Denial of the
abuser's mistakes and the
victim's willingness to admit all
conflicts are her or his fault, are
often signs of a violent
relationship.
The abusers offering of
occasional indulgences, which
are gifts that lessen the abuser's
mistakes, make the victim
overlook the abuse.
Manipulation of social activity,
work, and even access to sexual
activity are the abuser's control
over the victim.
The victim becomes passive
and succumbs to the abuser's
demands for emotional attention.
The loss of the victim's self-
respect blinds her or him from
how dangerous the situation
really is or is becoming.
The victim enters a
state of denial, often
refusing the help and
support of friends and
loved ones.
Unfortunately, the
abuse reaches a
severely physical and
emotional extent before
the victim actually
realizes that the
situation is life
threatening. It is
important for the
victim to remember
that he or she does not
deserve any form of
abuse. The most
effective way to handle
the situation is to
obtain a Protection
from Abuse Order,
which is a restraining order
against the abuser. If you or
someone you know is the victim
of any form of abuse, do not take
matters into your own hands.
This point was stressed by the
actors because approaching the
abuser may only cause more
danger.
Above all, there is not an
excuse for any type of abuse. If
you feel you are in a dangerous
relationship and need to talk to
someone, call 226-SAFE or
contact the campus help program
STAR (students together against
rape).
Both offer counselors, help,
and support. Protect yourself and
offer advice and support to those
who may be in an abusive
relationship. No one deserves to
have their self-image
compromised or their rights and
opinions taken away.
Finally, no situation can be
solved by emotional abuse and
degradation or physical violence.

"He pulled up and yelled, 'you

couldn't believe that somebody
screamed at me for the way that I
dressed. They were yelling at me
for looking different." This is a
quote from a close friend who
experienced an incident of some
of the close minded mediocrity
that seems to be resurfacing on
the Clarion campus and commu-
nity.
I suppose it unnerves me to find
attitudes and personal prejudices
can go unchanged by individuals
after being in a college environ-
ment. Correct me if I'm wrong
but aren't we supposed to try and
understand and "learn" how the
world works in this college envi-
ronment? Are we here not only to
be class educated, but what I call
"people educated." Here is my
point.
Fall Greek rush is upon us. It is
that time of the year to show off
letters, have kick ass times at par-
ties, and impress your peers with
the new organization you are a
part of. Greeks, despite the
defaming attitudes of those found
in the media, have a lot of good
to offer to the community, if the
community and educational envi-
ronment are willing to accept
them for what they are. And what
are they?
To a local driver who has seen
a herd of unicolored jackets
swoop past his ford pick-up on a
Saturday night, the driver would
insist they move like a group of
pack animals.
Moreover, some individuals,
but not all involved in these orga-
nizations, hold certain values.
Each organization has a different
set of values for everything. They
might say they don't, but in
underlying casual conversations
they do. In the true blue form of
the definition above, some greek
organizations hold certain criteria
that if you don't meet you're not
going to be a part of.
For example, the question
might come up as to how much
does your Daddy and Mommy

sixty-five grand a year we like

Part of our legacy from the
medieval university is the idea of
general education, i.e. that there
are some studies that are unique-
ly worthy of study by free human
beings or studies that make a
human being free. (Actually, they
used the term for man since in
good Aristotelian fashion it was
held that women could not tran-
scend their genetic imperfec-
tions.)
We don't talk about these stud-
ies in the terminology of the mid-
dle ages as the trivium and
quadrivium, but we still affirm
the centrality of the liberal arts in
serving the ends of general edu-
cation. Nor do we require, as did
the colonial colleges, a full four
years of study in a highly pre-
scribed curriculum as a proper
grounding for general education.
Most colleges and universities
today are content to co-opt only
three or four semesters of a stu-
dent's program for this end. Like
the medieval university, however,
we still appear to affirm that
"knowing" is tantamount to
"doing."
While we hold on to the idea of
general education, we have lost
much of the certitude about it that
confused the medieval educator's
commitment. We are no longer
sure what it is or what it is to do,
though, of course, we have many

is not open to debate. American
colleges and universities do dif-
fer in their understanding of the
ends that general education
serves and of the means that are
appropriate to it.
In one way or another, howev-
er, a large number subscribe to
the conception developed by the
Harvard faculty after World War
TJ which is described in General
Education in a Free Society.
There are, the Harvard faculty
assert, certain foundational stud-
ies like composition, mathemat-
ics, and foreign languages (the
skill subjects) that are pre-requi-
site to subsequent learning.
Beyond these the world of impor-
tant human knowledge can be
divided neatly into three
domains-the humanities, the
social sciences, the natural sci-
ences.
Each of these, it is said, touch-
es upon a major dimension of
human experience, and each has
its special way of developing
knowledge about the world.
A sampling of studies in each of
these domains (the distribution
requirements) will acquaint stu-
dents with each dimension and
with its unique way of knowing.
This will ostensibly not only

open all the doors of knowledge
to them-but also give them the

indebtedness to this model is as
apparent as the model is com-

As the Harvard model spread
across the United States, as col-
leges retooled themselves to meet
the demands of mass higher edu-
cation, and as the knowledge
explosion led to a proliferation of
courses, departments, and majors
on university campuses, it
became increasingly more diffi-
cult to give anything but arbitrary
answers to students when they
asked why they had to take gen-
eral education studies.
What more precisely are the
ends that are served by these skill
and distribution requirements?
How can you tell when we have
reached them? Which of our
studies really helped us to
acquire them? These are the
questions that began to appear
during the student rebellions of
the late sixties.
Because universities choose not
to commit much of their budget

End animal's pain and suffering, stop eating meat
Dear Editor:
Last week James Griffin
sensibly suggested a "hamburger
rebellion" in order to "oppose
cruel budget cuts and other self
serving legislation... financed by
beef eating budget cut victims."
Beef eaters are, as he notes,
supporting ranchers, timber
cutters, etc. who in turn fund the
reactionary extremists legislators
who are now waging their
greedy war against all
environmental regulation.
We are all victims when the
environment and many species
suffer.
In addition, all meat eating
actually continues to directly
support the massive, cruel and
barbaric treatment of animal life,
both domestic and wild.
Livestock often survives in

sealed crowded vehicles for
days, slaughtered by intolerable
means.
Poultry and calves are raised in
pens and stalls too crowded or
confined to move. Domestic
animals are frequently unfed,
teased, beaten, chained in
isolation, and exposed to all
weather.
Unbelievably painful and
debilitating experiments are
performed daily in labs usually
for no greater purpose than to
keep the facility in operation.
Seldom are such experiments
useful and often they are actually
counter-productive.
The list of cruelties could go
on at great length, but we
support, accept, or ignore our
barbarity. We could and should
do far better.
An ideal and effective start is
to give up meat eating and
prevent much of the torture we
wage against billions of animals.

Poster in Gemmell offensive to women
Dear Editor:
Recently, I was in the Gemmell
Book Center, looking around at
the merchandise.
I was thumbing through the
rack of posters, when I came
across one that really offended
me.
This poster portrayed a bikini-
clad girl holding a beer. After
years of seeing similar posters in
other stores, I was not shocked
by her appearance.
What really bothered me was
what was written next to her. It
reads, "If at first you don't
succeed, buy her another beer."
This message seems to imply
that it is okay to take advantage
of a woman if she is intoxicated.
Wake up, Gemmell Book
Center! In this day and age,
when rape is all too common,
especially on college campuses,
this kind of poster should not be
displayed.
It is an insult to every woman
on campus, and it is giving a
horrible message to our men.
Rape is rape, and this poster
does not help the fight to stop
this terrible crime.
Sincerely,
Sara Morton

Sex aggressors turn aggressive?
A new study suggests that men
who are sexually aggressive may
give clues on their eventual
behavior earlier in life.
Psychologists at the University
of California at Los Angeles
have found that men who
dominate and mistreat women
when they are young may have a
tendency to commit sexual
harassment and sexual assault
later in life.
The study, authored by Neil
Malamuth, traced the behavioral
tendencies of 172 men for 10
years.
Malamuth listed risk
characteristics of each man,
ranking them in numerous
categories, including:
• the acceptance of violence
against women;
• general hostility;
• sexual appetite;
• being uncomfortable stepping
outside traditional male roles;
• exaggerated masculinity;
• impersonal sex; and others.
Malamuth
found that
eight of the
nine men who
topped the risk
characteristics
admitted to
being sexually
aggressive
toward women.
"It's not fair to say that
someone who exhibits some or
all of these characteristics will
turn out to be a rapist, but
attitude does give some
indication on later behavior,"
Malamuth says.
"Men who show signs of
sexual aggression sometimes
act on these feelings."
Although Malamuth says a
high level of stress also can
contribute to sexual
aggressiveness, he cautions
against making hasty decision
on a person because of stress
levels.

Citing a loss of passion for his

begins. Parkhill had coached

Athletic director Tun Curley

assistant. While Parkhill said he
has no plans to return to

Dean suspended in harassment suit
The dean of Health and Human
Services at California State
University-Sacramento has been
suspended while school officials
investigate a sexual harassment
complaint filed by a former
student.
Craig Dillard, a graduate
student in the Health and Human
Services department between
1989 and 1993, has filed a
complaint against John Colen,
alleging that the dean offered
him a teaching position and
letters of recommendation in
exchange for sexual favors.
In his complaint, Dillard
accuses Colen of promising a
teaching position and a letter of
recommendation if the graduate
student responded to his
advances.
Dillard says he did not, and
failed to get a deserved
assignment and letter because
of that decision.
When university officials
launched an investigation of
Dillard's allegations, they found
that several students also had
complained about Colen's
advances.
CSUS spokesperson, Anne
Reed, said the investigation is a
school matter at this time and
had no comment on the case.
Colen joined the school's
Department of Social Work in
1976 and was named dean of
the department in 1982.

Middle East negotiators struggle
Israeli and PLO negotiators struggled for a third day Tuesday to
resolve an impasse over the city of Hebron, which is holding up
agreement on expanding Palestinian self-rule.
The teams, led by Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, have failed to reach a
compromise in more than 24 hours of talks since Sunday.
Arafat angrily walked out at one point to protest an Israeli
trooper deployment plan that he believed would fragment the West
Bank, but talks later resumed.
Duty-free shopping spree hijacked
More than 170 people set out Tuesday on an Iranian jet for some
duty-free shopping in the Persian Gulf. But a hijacker seized
control of the plane, and the travelers wound up eating packaged
army meals at a remote air base in the Israeli desert.
The hijacker asked for asylum. So did some of the passengers,
according to army officials.
The hijacker, a man in his 30's, reportedly was asking for
political asylum in the United States. He surrendered less than an
hour after the Kish Air Boeing 707 landed at Ovda Air Force Base
in the Negev desert. After they were freed, several other
passengers asked for asylum in Israel, said army officials.

Simpson case isn't idea for drama
Steven Bochco denies the O.J. Simpson murder trial inspired his
new legal drama "Murder One," which follows the same trial over
an entire season.
"The invention of this show had nothing to do with that trial,"
the producer said. "In fact, we had begun to think of doing
something like this years ago on 'LA Laws,' and because of the
way 'LA Law' was set up, it really wasn't a practical thing to do at
the time."
Nor is Bochco, who produced "LA Law," concerned about the
Simpson trial sapping public appetite for legal thrillers.
"I suppose there's a risk there, but I think court trials, murder
trials, murder mysteries, you know, all of which are sort of
embodied in this kind of a show, have always been fascinating to
people to the degree that they're told," he said.

interesting or worth pursuing for
professional advancement, and
because students have been
powerless to hold universities
accountable, not much progress
has been made in developing
answers to them.
The consequence is that, today,
general education is in a state of
disarray. William Bennett, the
former Secretary of Education,
recently raised questions about
the quality and value of higher
education today.
A blue-ribbon committee of
the Association of American
Colleges, after completing a two
year study of higher education,
ended up asserting that the
baccalaureate degree has been
devalued, particularly in the area
of general education.
We are, they say, much more
"confident about the length of a
college education than its
content or purposes."
And it has become fashionable
for business leaders, politicians,
and graduate faculty to assert
that today's college graduates
can't write, can't speak, can't
think and are woefully ignorant
about almost everything.
Several more major studies of
higher education are due for
publication within the next year.
If they echo these judgements,
we can anticipate increased
pressures from accrediting
associations, state legislatures,
and student groups for some
fundamental changes in how we
conceive and execute higher
education at the general
education level.
Fortunately, there are some
interesting developments going
on across the nation that have
much promise for the future.
This is not the place to discuss
the great variety of efforts that
are under way, but there are two
which characterize a new
approach which focuses on
"doing" rather than on internal
states like "knowing" and
"appreciating" and
"understanding."
The American College Testing
program began in 1976 to work
with a core of eight colleges and
universities to identify just what
it was they wanted their general
education program to do.
The consensual judgement was
that the general education
program should enhance the
performance of the student with
respect to 35 activities clustered
around three process areas
(communicating, solving
problems, and clarifying values)
and three content areas
(functioning with social
institutions, using science and
technology, and using the arts).
With the identification of these
outcomes, ACT was able to
develop an examination to assess
the proficiency of students with
respect to them. As progress is
made in validating the exam,
institutions whose general
education goals match those of
ACT will be able to use the
results in evaluating their
curriculum.
Another departure from the
standard approaches to general
education can be found at
Alverno College in Milwaukee.
Beginning in 1970 with a
challenge from its president,
faculty were pressed to identify
what it was that they wanted to
happen to students.
After three years of intensive
discussion by numerous faculty
and student groups, they
identified eight processes that
their students should be able to
engage in at the completion of
their program communication,
analysis, problem solving,
valuing, social interaction, taking
responsibility for the
environment, becoming involved
in the contemporary world, and
aesthetic response.
For each of these, four levels
of oroficiencv were established
As this was being accomplished,
Alverno began working on the
second phase, that of developing
ways to assess students to see if
they were acquiring these
competencies.
The Faculty Senate at Clarion,
through its general education
program, is taking the final step
of translating our general
education goal statements into a
reality.
Preliminary work this year has
put us into a position to effect.
As we proceed, it is hoped that
students, faculty and
administrators will add their
voices, insights and concerns to
this important work.

Council of Trustees discuss the rise in enrollment
by John Sarver

This Tuesday the Clarion
University Council of Trustees
met for the first time of the 1995

The first order of business was
to hear from student senate.
President Jay Smith informed
the trustees that the senate had

Also, Mr. Smith announced
that Clarion would have the

Next on the agenda was an

resentative.
Lois Linnan reported that CUP

Also a new general education
program is in place for the
incoming freshmen class.

Dr. Reinhart expressed her plea-
sure at the 2.5% enrollment
increase.
She also addressed the steam
tunnel renovations currently
going on at the Clarion campus.
She assured all present that
despite the inconvenience, the
project would greatly benefit
Clarion in the long run.
The President said that even
she is doing her part by following
the park & walk campaign the
University has been stressing.
The last topic the president
touched on was professor ethics
and behavior.
She was referring to some
hearings that are dealing with this
subject
Senator John Lawless was
holding the hearings.
The president stressed that it is
extremely important for students
to report any behaviors that they
feel are not appropriate.
Dr. Kahn was next to speak.
He talked about the increased
enrollment at CUP, as well.
The main concern of many of
the people present was how we
managed to increase the enroll-
ment while so many of the
schools around lost students.
Dr. Kahn said that no standards
were lowered to make more
applicants acceptable.
In fact, he stated that this
incoming class of freshmen is
"one of the best classes in a
while," as far as qualifications.
He credits the increase to sev-
eral changes in the recruiting
process this year.

The Clarion University Council of Trustees held there latest meeting this Tuesday in
Carrier Hall. The trustees discussed the rise in enrollment of the Clarion University stu-
dent body.
First, a new magazine to adver-
tise the school was conceived.
The magazine replaced the old
viewbook that had been used for
several years.
Also, Clarion recruiters stepped
up their efforts by visiting over
600 schools.
An aggressive phone campaign
was added to target students who
had been accepted to CUP, but
had not committed.
The last order of business dis-
cussed was the Clarion
University of PA Official
Residence.
That would be the official name
for the President's new house.
The estimated costs of construc-
tion and other new house related
expenses are now up to
$616,000.
This figure includes $350,000
for the actual house, and
$100,000 for the site.
The next meeting of the Trustees
was set for November 15, 1995.
"Get a life at Clarion" hits the stands to increase enrollment
by Megan Casey
News Writer
Clarion University has a new
publication that will aid in
recruitment and retention of stu-
dents. The new publication,
known as a yieldbook, is entitled
"Get a Life at Clarion" and pre-
miered early this semester.
The yieldbook is the result of
the combined efforts of various
faculty, students, alumni, and
employees.
The idea for a new publication
was brought up several years ago.
Approval from the administration
was granted and work began to
develop an alternative to the tra-
ditional college viewbook. A
college viewbook gives general
information about a college, such
as location, size, majors, and
requirements for admission.
"Most viewbooks look alike-
nice pictures of the university-
they're interchangeable with any
"Get a live at Clarion" is being
on the increase.
other viewbook. We wanted
something different," comment-
ed Ron Wilshire, Director of
University Relations and a mem-
ber of the planning committee for
Eric Wilson/Clarion Call
used to keep CU enrollment
"Get a Life at Clarion." The
committee, made up of students,
faculty, alumni, employees, and
other friends of the university
worked to come up with some-
thing that would stand out.
Funding for the yieldbook was
found by combining the budgets
for the viewbook and an existing
publication, Clarion Magazine.
That magazine was received by
alumni and friends of the univer-
sity and featured articles on
events and programs at Clarion,
as well as alumni information.
"We're using existing resources
to do more with the same amount
of money," stated Wilshire.
The new magazine is part of the
enhanced enrollment manage-
ment activities that began last
year.
"I think this will play an impor-
tant part in the recruitment pic-
ture, but it obviously isn't the
only part," said Wilshire.
The actual content of the new
magazine is decided on by an
editorial board made up of Ron
Wilshire, Harry Tripp, Vice-
President of Advancement, and
Mary Bragg, Director of
Publications. Story suggestions
can be made by anyone involved
with the university.
"Get a Life at Clarion" is sched-
uled to be published twice a year.
The next issue will be mailed to
all prospective students, current
students and their families, uni-
versity employees, alumni and
friends of the university.
The current issue contains arti-
cles on such topics as ethics, the
Internet, and an opinion piece by
a student. Also, it contains the
university's application for
admission.
"What they're trying to do is
bring up some current issues that
students are facing," explained
Sue McMillen, associate director
of admissions. Story ideas for
the next issue include; undecided
majors, activities in Clarion, and
a look at where some Clarion
graduates are today.

WCUC back on the air
Campus station powers up
Eric Wilson/Clarion Call
Campus FM radio station, WCUC, powered up last week in order to provide Clarion
University students with student produced music shows. The station brodcasts out of
Becker Hall and is operation seven days a week. Positions on the staff of WCUC are avail-
able to students of all majors.
by Matt Geesey
News Writer
The campus radio station, 91.7
WCUC, is now up and running
for the fall semester.
The station officially powered
up on Sunday, September 10,
after the starting date had been
pushed back a week because of a
few minor schedule changes.
The station is entirely student
operated, and is on the air
between the hours of 6:00am and
12:00pm Monday thru Thursday,
and 6:00am and 2:00am Friday
and Saturday. The broadcast
starts at 9:00am on Sunday and
runs until midnight
Students who wish to become a
disk jockey must first complete a
DJ training program and earn
their license through the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC).
The "jocks" will then be allowed
to have their own shows.
The administration duties of the
station are handled by the faculty
advisor, Mr. Henry Fueg, and an
elected executive board.
This semester's board consists
of Drew Dershimer in the posi-
tion of station manager and Jeff
Rector as program director.
Also holding positions are,
Carrie Wissinger as assistant pro-
gram director, Jennifer Vaughn
and Darian Murray as co-music
directors, and Amy Smith as traf-
fic director.
Lesley Croston holds the posi-
tion of news director, Chris
Myers is sports director, Jason
Korolak is production director,
and Matt Geesey acts as director
of promotions.
The station is formatted for
adult contemporary music on
weekdays from 6:00am until
6:00pm.
From 6:00pm until midnight,
the format consists of album-ori-
ented rock music. During the
weekends the station features
various specialty shows.
Saturday, there are three differ-
ent shows during the day that
have a country music format
For two hours on Saturday,
starting at 7:00pm, the station
broadcasts an alternative music
show.
Also on Saturday nights there
are two rap/R&B shows.
During the day on Sunday, the
shows feature "oldies", followed
by two rap/R&B shows that
evening.
WCUC's music comes from a
company called FM Century,
which specializes in offering a
variety of radio singles on com-
pact discs.
These "hit discs" are the prima-
ry source of music for all the
aforementioned shows. For some
of the specialty shows, the disc
jockeys bring in their own selec-
tion of music to supplement
WCUC's selection.
According to station manager,
Jeff Rector, the format of WCUC
differs greatly from that of other
local radio stations, such as C-93
and the campus AM station
WCCB. WCUC does live broad-
casts that do not originate from a
satellite feed. Also, the station is
regulated by the FCC and does
not play songs with objectionable
lyrics.
If the station were to play such
music a fine could be placed on
them for violating the regulations
of the FCC.
Changes at the station will take
place during the upcoming year.
One change, slated for as early as
next semester, is a switch to a
programmable selector format.
This would allow the staff to pro-
gram all of the day's music as
well as various other broadcasts.
This change would allow the DJ
to spend more time concentrating
on his "on air" personality,
because be would not have to
make any musical selections.
Many radio stations already
employ this system, including
B94, WDVE, and "The Point".
Another change WCUC is plan-
ning for this semester is a live
broadcast during the week of the
Autumn Leaf Festival.
In order to increase station pop-
ularity, promotions such as give-
aways are planned.
The current staff of WCUC con-
sists of 45 active disc jokeys.
However, with people graduat-
ing, new spots are becoming
available.
Students interested in becoming
a disc jockey should attend train-
ing classes on Monday nights at
7:00 in 151 Becker Hall.

Hoover announces last semester at Clarion
Search for new CU student trustee begins soon
by Mary heth Curry
News Editor
Brian Hoover, student represen-
tative on the Council of Trustees,
announced the upcoming end of
his term on the council at the
September 11 Student Senate
meeting.
Hoover, a senior, has been a
member of the Council since
1993, and has served as Secretary
for the past two years.
This position also makes him a
member of the executive com-
mittee.
In order to earn his position,
Hoover went through a campus
wide search for a representative.
The first step in this search was
filling out the application and
obtaining letters of recommenda-
tion.
After this was completed, he
was interviewed on campus
along with the other candidates
for the position.
The competition was then nar-
rowed to three students, who
were sent to Harrisburg for an
additional interview conducted
by the Chancellor's staff.
Upon completing this inter-
view, the chosen applicant's
name is submitted to the gover-
nor who confirms the appoint-
ment
The other members of the coun-
cil undergo a similar process
when a vacancy arises.
Nominations to fill the position
are provided by the political par-
ties.
The names then go to the gov-
ernor who proceeds with a
screening process.
He then makes his recommen-
dation and the state senate votes
for final confirmation.

He sat on the council when they
made the decision to increase the
Instructional Support Fee from
eight percent to the current ten
percent.
Also, a different accounting for
the ISF has come into play during
his tenure on the Council of
Trustees.
In a recent interview, Hoover
commented on his time as stu-
dent Trustee.
"Not only has this experience
been valuable in a purely acade-
mic sense, it has given me the
gratification of being able to
bring the opinions of a student to
the policy makers on campus,
and in the truest sense become
one of them. My time as Student
Trustee has been an enriching
experience that I will greatly
miss."
The Student Senate will be
accepting applications to fill the
vacant position this semester.
The process for selection has
changed very little, adding only
an interview with university pres-
ident Dr. Reinhard.
The interviewing will take
place in a timely fashion after all
applications have been reviewed.
The Search and Screening com-
mittee will be made up of Senate
President Jay Smith and two
other student senators.
The senate will appoint the
other two members of the com-
mittee from nominations taken at
a closed meeting.
After the screening has been
completed, names will be for-
warded to the office of the presi-
dent and she will conduct inter-
views with the final three appli-
cants.
After her interviews have been
completed, she will send the
committee's recommendations to
the office of the Chancellor with-

SSHE students face tuition increase again in 1995-96
#
by Mary Beth Curry
News Editor
The State System of Higher
Education Board of Governors
approved a tuition rate for 1995-
96 that will allow state system
universities to gain extra govern-
ment appropriations.
The appropriations will be
granted through a program called
the Commonwealth's Tuition
Challenge Program.
A 4.47 percent increase to the
14 state owned institutions of
higher learning means $138 raise
in the tuition of full time under-
graduate and graduate students
who reside in Pennsylvania. The
final figure for state tuition is
$3,224.
An additional $10.6 million in
state funding is now appropriated
for all of the 14 SSHE schools.
The appropriation was granted
because the Board of Governors
kept the tuition increase below
the 4.5% challenge increase.
The extra funding equals $144
per full-time student enrolled in
the state system universities. The
average increase for
Pennsylvania resident tuition has
been $126 or 5.% percent since
the introduction of the State
System of Higher Education in
1983.
Tuition for non-resident stu-
dents had been increased to
$8,198 for the academic year.
That equals an increase of 4.5%,
which translates to $354. The
board approved this increase
when it met for it's quarterly
meeting in July.
The tuition for graduate stu-
dents who are not Pennsylvania
residents raised $250 which
totals to $5,794. The 4.5 percent
increase was also approved at the
July meeting.
Vermont and New Hampshire
are now the only states that
exceed Pennsylvania state
schools in high tuition.
Chancellor James McCormick
expects the budget to be short by
an estimated $14.8 million next
year.
The Americans with disabilities
act states that the system must
collectively spend $12.5 million
in the upcoming year in order to
comply with their guidelines and
federal and state clean-air laws.
Repercussions of cutting the
operating budget of the state
schools means cuts in operating
budgets, needed courses not
being offered, and maintenance
purchases being put off, noted
McCormick.
State governor Tom Ridge,
increased money spent on higher
education in 1995-96, but cut the
Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency, also known
asPHEAA.
This agency is in place to pro-
vide financial assistance for stu-
dents based on personal financial
need.
The state budget stated that
PHEAA was to benefit from a 12
percent increase for funding in
it's grant program.

The Clarion University of
Pennsylvania student chapter of
the American Production and
Inventory Control Society
(APICS) was the recipient of the
"Outstanding Student
Organization Award" from the
Pittsburgh Chapter of APICS.
The Clarion APICS chapter was
recognized for attending the most
meetings, helping the university
of Pittsburgh start and APICS
chapter, and for the amount of
activities conducted throughout
the year.
In addition to the chapter
award, Clarion APICS member
LaVonne Bucar was named the
recipient of the APICS Student
Voluntary Service Award. The
award is presented at the national
APICS conference in October in
Orlando Florida. The Pittsburgh
Chapter of APICS is paying for
her transportation to and from the
conference.
"The purpose of the Clarion
chapter is education," says
Carole Anderson, associate pro-
fessor of administrative science
and chapter advisor. "There are
also opportunities for career
advancement through contacts
made through APICS."
APICS had 2780 chapters and
over 70,000 members in North
America. It has associates and
certification exam sites through-
out the world. For a nominal fee,
members can join specific indus-
try groups for exploring the

CU sponsors "Partners in Teaching"

^ — a—— aa— — — ■— »
"Partners in Teaching,
Learning, and Assessment" is
expanding the way Clarion
University of Pennsylvania pro-
fessors look at their teaching.
The project involves pairs of
faculty members engaged in sys-
tematic classroom observations
of each other's teaching to
encourage reflective practice in
the classroom.
"Partners in Teaching" is direct-
ed by Dr. Anne Day, professor of
history, and co-directed by Dr.
Kristen Marshall, assistant pro-
fessor of speech communication
and theater.
The project is funded by a
$5,000 Institutional Incentive
grant as a follow-up to the
Summer Academy for the
Advancement of Teaching, spon-
sored by the State System of
Higher Education and the Pew
Charitable Trust. The Academy
involves intensive training in
teaching methods, hands-on
activities, and cooperative learn-
ing activities.
"The purpose is to pair two
teachers as a team to look at the
other person's teaching for a
semester," says Day.
"The focus is on student learn-
ing and assessment, as well as
how to effectively reach teaching
goals."
"Partners in Teaching" is based
upon the New Jersey Master
Faculty Plan which: developed
greater awareness of difference
in students' levels of preparation
and developmental stages,
including a better understanding

learning and

of students from "new" groups;
broadened teaching techniques;
and found new enthusiasm for
the practice of teaching.
Part of the grant money was
used to bring in four faculty
members from Kutztown
University of Pennsylvania, who
successfully used a similar
approach, for a training program.
The remainder was used to pur-
chase a video camera and equip-
ment to video tape the professor
during classroom visits, and for
other support materials.
Each team meets and discusses
what they want their teaching to
focus upon during that semester.
This is followed by three class-
room visitations.
Follow-up meetings are held
and the evaluating professor also
talks to the students about their
learning experience. Each partic-
ipant is encouraged to summarize
their experience in a journal or
essay and possibly develop some
case studies.
The entire group involved in the
program also meets three times
each semester to discuss teach-
ing. "Student learning and good
teaching cannot be divorced,"
says Day.
"This program emphasizes the
fundamental philosophy of help-
ing students. It also gets the fac-
ulty member out of the isolation
of being the only teacher in the
classroom."
The wonderful thing about this
program is that it can be conduct-
ed without spending large
amounts of time or money," says
Day.

Biology students gain experience outside of CU
Courtesy of University
Relations
Hands-on experience in the lab
has always been a crucial ele-
ment in undergraduate education
in science. In recent years, col-
laborative learning between stu-
dents and faculty in the form of
undergraduate research, has
become expected of better stu-
dents. The achievements of
seven students of Clarion
University's molecular
biology/biotechnology program
indicates success in competing
for internships, graduate schools,
and employment with students
from other schools.
These students include:
Matt Allison, a senior molecu-
lar biology major, who did a pro-
ject this spring in human DNA
fingerprinting. Cells are collect-
ed from individuals by means of
a saline mouth wash. Epithelial
cells from the buccal mucosa are
collected by centrifugation and
lysed to release the DNA. The
DNA is then amplified by PCR
and analyzed by electrophoresis.
The pattern of bands is distinct
for most people. This technique
is similar to that used in the OJ.
Simpson trial.
Allison worked this summer in
the Toxicology Division of the
Allegheny County Crime Lab.
This laboratory analyzes body
fluids for drug content in deter-
minations of cause of death, and
determines blood alcohol con-
centrations for prosecution of
drunk drivers.
Robert Follet Jr., a junior mole-
cular biology major, spent the
summer at the All Children's
Hospital in St. Petersburg,
Florida. He worked in the labo-
ratory of Dr. Noorbibi Day,
whose research involves the FIV
and HIV viruses.
Jackie McEntire, a May gradu-
ate with a degree in biology,
completed an undergraduate
research project this year with
Dr. Douglas Smith, assistant pro-
fessor of biology at Clarion
University.
She investigated the distribu-
tion of Con-A receptors on the
surfaces of developing red blood
cells of the cell line K56Z. The
cells were stimulated to begin
differentiation with
hydrodxyurea and labeled with
fluorecinated Con-A. Control
cells had an equal distribution of
receptors, while stimulated cells
exhibited a localization which
culminated in the loss of recep-
tors with the budding nucleus.
McEntire received a full tuition
waiver and an additional $11,000
research award to pursue a Ph.D.
at the University of Cincinnati.
Her department is one of the top
five in research awards from the
National Institutes of Health.
Amy Meyer worked this sum-
mer at Penn State's Hershey
Medical Center. She is currently
a sophomore. She worked with
Dr. Ralph Kiel in the department
of biochemistry. Her work
involved transposon insertional
mutations in yeast and a model
system for understanding the
mechanism of action of anesthe-
sia.
Andy Warner, a junior molecu-
lar biology major, completed a
project with Dr. Smith involving
the purification of annexin pro-
teins I, II, IV, and VI from human
platelets. The techniques used
were immunoprecipitation and
assay by Western blotting.
The annexins will be used for
further experiments blocking
inflammatory responses of rat
neutrophils in virtro.
Rhonda Wirfel, a senior molec-
ular biology major, worked on a
project with Dr. Kate Eggleton,
associate professor of biology at
Clarion University, comparing
the effects of wild type
Bluetongue virus and non-cyto-
pathic mutants on African Green
Monkey kidney cells.
Preliminary results indicate that
cells infected with this virus
exhibit apoptotic changes leading
to cell death rather than necrosis
which is characteristic of nearly
all other viruses. Apoptosis is a
genetically programmed mecha-
nism of cell death which is part
of normal developmental path-
ways and cancer.
Dave Zdobinski, a junior mole-
cular biology major, was part of a
research training program at
Ohio State University. The pro-
gram was funded by the National
Science Foundation. He received
two other offers for this past sum-
mer. One from the institute for
Inhalation Toxicology,
Albuquerque, NM, and the other
at CENTOCOR, one of the lead-
ing biotechnology firms in
Pennsylvania.
Zdobinski had another NSF
supported internship the summer
before last at the Center for
Biotechnology and
Bioengineering at the University
of Pittsburgh.

was the concern of a recent
police program.
On Saturday, September 9, a
Roving D.U.I. Patrol was issued
by the Clarion and Knox police
departments. The program was
conducted in both boroughs at
the same time. The program is
is part of a police department
attempt to expand the awareness
of the D.U.I. problem throughout
the motoring public.
Another goal of the program is
to deter drivers from consuming
alcohol and operating a motor
vehicle. The project included
adding additional units to the
patrols, and having them work
extra shifts.
During these shifts, their pri-
mary objective was the apprehen-
sion of intoxicated drivers.
Assisting the Clarion and Knox
police were the Brookville and
Summerville police.
Also involved was the Sheriffs
Department of Clarion County.
During the night, 28 vehicles
were pulled over and two
motorists were charged with dri-
ving under the influence.
Six underage drinking citations
were given. Three motorists
were given traffic citations, and
nine written warnings were
issued. Also, other criminal
arrests were made.
The Jefferson/Clarion Bi-
Counties Project is planning on
conducting other similar roving
patrols as well as sobriety check-
points.
The checkpoints will be set up
throughout both Clarion and
Jefferson counties for 1995.

EXIDE Batteries Since 1888

News Writer
In meetings held at the end of
last semester, the Clarion Student
Affairs board of directors met to
discuss several issues that have a
financial impact on CU.
One of the topics discussed was
last year's proposal of renovat-
ing of the game room.
The discussed improvements
have since been implemented,
and the game room now has a
"wanner atmosphere."
The rooms have been carpeted,
and individual light fixtures have
been placed above each pool
table. Another topic on the agen-
da was the increase of sales in the
university book center for the
1995 fall semester.
Mr. Lee Krull, Business
Manager attributes the higher
sales to the surge in new students
for the upcoming school year.
The CSA does not meet over
the summer.

The University book center reports increased sales for the
1995-96 school year.

Macomber Appointed New Band Director
Courtesy of
University Relations
When CUP Golden Eagles
Marching Band took the field for
the first time in 1995, it was led
by new director Dr. Jeffrey
Macomber. Macomber succeed-
ed Dr. Stephen Johnson, who
accepted a new position as asso-
ciate dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences at Clarion
University.
Macomber, the seventh director
of Clarion University bands,
comes to Clarion from Tulsa
Central High School, Tulsa, Ok.,
a fine arts focus area high school,
where he was director of march-
ing band, concert band, jazz
band, and orchestra. He has also
taught at Armstrong State
College, Savannah, Ga., Phillips
University, Enid, Ok., and Coe
College, Cedar Rapids, la., in
addition to other public school
positions.
"I had previous experience at
the college level and wanted to
return to that environment," says
Macomber. "I am from Bay
Village, Ohio near Cleveland. I
had heard of Clarion and was
aware of its status as a member of
the Pennsylvania State System of
Higher Education. After my
interview I was very much inter-
ested in the job because of
Clarion's environment and the
nice people I met. When the
opportunity presented itself I was
in a position to accept the posi-
tion."
Macomber traces his interest in
music back to his childhood.
"My older brother played the
trombone in the band. He went
on to play in a college band. I
looked up to him. I also identified
with my music instructors in Bay
Village. Music became what I
did I played in the band and
attended the National Music
Camp of Interlochen for a couple
of summers."
When it came time to make a
decision on a college major,
Macomber considered music
education or his father's field,
engineering. Music education
won out He received his DMA in
trombone performance and
pedagory from the University of
Iowa. His B.M.. in instrumental
music education , and M.M. in
performance are from Bowling
Green State University. He has
performed professionally with
bands and symphony orchestras
in Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio as well
as in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
"I am pleased with the nature of
this position." says Macomber
about his new job. "I get to direct
the band and teach applied music
in my area of expertise, low brass
— trombone and euphonium."
Macomber plans no major
changes for the Golden Eagle
Marching Band. 'This band has a
long standing tradition," he says.
"It is foolish to try and change
that to suit me. The way things
are done now is effective. My
priorities are to make this a good
band and put it on the field. I am
interested in how the band plays
and the selection of music. Most
of my attention will be on music
preparation. I will collaborate
with the band leaders on the field
display."
the Golden Eagle Marching
Band has several events planned
during the semester. On Sept 23,
it will be the guest band for the
Bradford Owls Autumn Classic,
Bradford, being selected from a
number of other university
bands. As usual, the band will
lead the Autumn Leaf Festival
Parade at Clarion on Oct 14. On
Oct. 28, the band will host
Alumni Band Day and perform
the annual Marching Band Revue
concert at 8 p.m. in Marwick -
Boyd Auditorium.
"The students in the band are
the greatest in the world," says
Macomber.
"They are a pleasure to work
with. This is a real opportunity
Clarion University marching Gold Eagles perform.
that is a positive experience for
me.
When the marching band sea-
son ends, Macomber will direct
the Symphonic Band. "This is
one of the attractive parts of this
job, working with musicians of
the caliber," he says. "It is an
opportunity to do important liter-
ature for the concert band that
college students need to partici-
pate in. We intend to do quality
American band pieces. There is a
lot of timeless music from 50
years ago to modern times for us
to perform."
The Symphonic Band will con-
tinue its tradition of a
school/community tour in the
spring.
Macomber's wife, Lea Ann,
remains in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
where she is developing a career
in real estate.

Up a Tree by Dave Barry j Ed and Dave "Rock your World
//
When my friend Ridley Fearson
invited me back to Idaho, I says
to myself: He is NOT getting me
up another tree.
i was still combing sap out of
my hair from a trip to Idaho last
fall, when Ridley talked me into -
this is an Idaho sport - climbing
way up into a blatantly hostile
tree and then getting back to
Karth by "rappelling," which
means "sliding down at the
Speed of Fear on a rope approxi-
mately the same width as a strand
of No. 8 spaghetti."
I frankly don't know why I let
Ridley talk me into anything. He
writes thriller novels, which
means that he spends most of his
time thinking up newer and better
ways to murder people. He's
always leaving himself little
reminder notes with plot ideas
like: "Killer is beautician-her-
pctologist who puts coral snake
in hair dryer."
Here's a true story: I was stay-
ing at Ridley's house, and we
went to the market for groceries,
and I was grinding up a bag of
coffee when Ridley wandered
over. After watching me for a
moment, he said: "A murderer
could put poison into the grind-
ing machine, so the next person
to use it would grind poison into
the bottom of his bag. It could be
weeks before the poison got into
the coffee. There'd be NO WAY
to trace it." Then, smiling con-
tentedly, he wandered off to buy
cold cuts. My host.
So anyway, when I went back
to Idaho, I vowed that Ridley was
absolutely not, no way, forget
about it, going to get me up in
another tree. I saw no reason to
risk getting killed by falling.
Instead, I elected to risk getting
killed by drowning.
Specifically, I went "Whitewa-
ter rafting" on the Salmon River,
which gets its name from the fact
that it has virtually no salmon,
who frankly are not rocket scien-
tists. Despite the fact that they
spend most of their lives in the
Pacific Ocean, they have decided
that the only place they can
spawn is smack dab in the middle
of Idaho. So every year they try
to swim hundreds of miles
upstream past all these dams, and
only a few make it, and by that
point the female salmon have
severe headaches, so precious lit-
tle spawning takes occurs.
In an effort to correct this situ-
ation, the federal government has
wildlife rangers trying to help the
salmon by roping off the spawn-
ing areas, playing Julio Iglesias
music underwater, etc. I've been
critical of government programs
in the past, but as a person con-
cerned about the environment, I
have to admit, in all honesty, that
the federal salmon effort is stu-
pid. It would make a WHOLE lot
more sense to have the rangers
fly low over the Pacific Ocean in
planes with loudspeakers blaring
the announcement: "SPAWN
RIGHT HERE YOU
MORONS!" Of course you run
the risk that one of the planes
would fly over a cruise ship, and
the passengers, mistaking the
announcement for an order from
the captain, would suddenly start
engaging in mass carnal behavior
right in the buffet line, but that is
the price you pay to protect the
environment.
Anyway, speaking of vessels, I
went Whitewater rafting, which is
a little scary inasmuch as some
idiot - the authorities should look
into this - has placed rapids
RIGHT IN THE RIVER.
Fortunately, the rafting company
requires you to wear a life jacket,
which means that in the event
that you get tossed out of the
boat, you'll stay safely afloat
long enough to freeze to death.
The Salmon River is extremely
cold/ consisting primarily of
recently melted snow rushing
down from the mountains; this is
nature's way of cleansing the
slopes of deceased skiers.
"SPAWN
RIGHT HERE
YOU
MORONS!"
But I made it through the rapids
OK, and I was starting to think
my Idaho trip was going to be
casualty-free, when Ridley invit-
ed me to spend the night in a
"yurt" that he built out in the
mountains. I said sure, not realiz-
ing that "yurt" is a Mongolian
word meaning "small dome-
shaped structure that gets so cold
at night you would be wanner if
you slept in the Salmon River."
But the cold was not the prob-
lem. The problem was that (1)
my son, Rob, was with me, and
(2) there were trees near the yurt.
Rob is 14, so naturally he wanted
to engage in the most life-threat-
ening possible activity, and here's
what the ever-obliging Ridley
came up with: HE strung a rope
between two trees, at an altitude
of approximately 150,000 feet,
the plan being to dangle from the
rope, on a pulley, and slide from
one tree to the other. My feeling
was that, if you needed to get
from one tree to the other - even
a salmon would figure this out -
you could just walk. But no,
Ridley and Rob had to take the
Batman route, and Ridley decid-
ed that, when Rob went across
the rope there had to be an adult
on each end.
And thus, once again, I found
myself way up in an Idaho tree,
embracing the trunk with a pas-
sion normally associated with
Sen. Bob Packwood. Fortunately
everything worked out: Rob
came zipping across on the rope
and claimed to enjoy it, although
for several hours he remained the
color of vanilla yogurt. I finally
got back down to Earth and
vowed to never again get up on
anything higher than a medium-
pile carpet. We went back to the
yurt and spent a relaxing night
watching our breath turn instant-
ly to sleet. The next morning,
Ridley made us a hearty break-
fast. I made my own coffee.
Adopt-A-School...Because Change is Possible
by Gara L Smith
Intern, Community
Ijearning
Service
What is Adopt-A-School all
about anyway? Adopt-A-School
is about helping children with
reading, participating in play-
ground activities, and assisting a
child with computer work.
Adopt-A-School is a unique
opportunity for college students
to develop one-on-one relation-
ships with children in their local
community's elementary schools.
Adopt-A-School benefits the
Clarion community by meeting
the needs of local elementary
schools that have been negatively
deleted by budget cuts. This pro-
gram provides an opportunity for
college students to give some-
thing back to their host commu-
nities by devoting their spare
time to elementary school chil-
dren. "1 feel like I belong to the
community," says one volunteer.
With CU students' participation
with this program, the children
benefit as well. According to ele-
mentary school principals, when
a child is partnered with a college
student in a one-on-one relation-
ship the child's attendance
increases, grades improve, and
self-esteem rises.
Simultaneously, the volunteers
will develop a hands-on
perspective of what edu
cational needs exist
today, so as they
enter different
areas of society,
they may effect
change for
tomorrow.
Jenny Dalby,
student coordi-
nator, states,
"The program jJ0|
was implemented
last year and the f If
response has been f \M
overwhelming. The
Immaculate Conception
school was the pilot elemen-
tary school. This year Clarion
Area Elementary has agreed to
adopt this program. "We are
looking forward to expanding the
program and arc fortunate to
have a large number of local
school districts." She further
comments, "I am confident that
CU students will dedicate a small
piece of their time and open their
hearts to these children."
"We
are
looking for people who are will-
ing to make a commitment and
work closely with elementary
children," says Jeanne McCaul,
student coordinating assistant.
She further states, "This is some-
thing to seriously consider if you
can make the commitment. These
children look forward to univer-
sity students coming down for
the day."
This isn't a program to fill a
resume - it's a commitment
by individuals for a
semester, a year or
many years.
Elementary school
children don't
understand the
importance of a
resume, they
understand that a
college student
has decided to
come to their
J IS school just to
I j! spend time with
l/f them. The children
w 'look up to their volun-
teers as role models and,
very often, as friends.
"(Many) of the children they
work with have had so many peo-
ple back out on their lives, and
I'm not going to provide that to
my student," states Dr. Mary Jane
Roberts, principal, Kramer
Elementary School, Oxford,
Ohio. "If you can't commit... for-
get it, we don't need you." The
children depend on their "special
friends" and can be crushed if
they are forgotten about or
ignored.
Any Clarion University student
can be an Adopt-A-School volun-
teer. "I think many people believe
it is for education majors but, it's
not," says McCaul. The teachers
at Immaculate Conception and
Clarion Area Elementary make
the final decisions about volun-
teers.
Interested university students
should complete a volunteer
interest form which are available
from Community Service
Learning, 247 Gemmell Student
Center. The requirement asked by
the schools involved with this
program is that each volunteer
have an Act 34 clearance check.
This is a criminal record check
and is standard for most children
related organizations and agen-
cies.
Dalby concludes, "This volun-
tary opportunity is a rewarding
experience for Clarion University
students. I encourage all who are
interested in participating to do it,
and make a difference in the life

Hello and welcome as Ed and
Dave once again "rock your
world". This week's featured
artist is The Ramones, as well as
a review of the latest from Love
Jones and Shelter.
•RAMONES -The Ramones
return with their latest LP Adios
Amigos !. While not doing any-
thing different from what they've
been doing the past twenty years,
they do what they do very well.
And what they do is short, catchy
three-chord songs.
The disc kicks off with "I Don't
Want To Grow Up", which is a
song that is seemingly tailor-
made for this fast-paced four-
some from New York. "I Don't
Want To Grow Up" is also the
fust single off of Adios AmigosJ
and it is recieving a little bit of
airplay from both radio and
MTV. However, The Ramones
were never much for top 40 suc-
cess, relying instead on legions of
devoted fans, who have support-
ed them loyally for years. When
The Ramones first record was
released in 1976, radio program-
mers told them, "If you sounded
more like The Doobie Brothers
we would consider playing your
music." Now, with the Green
Day/Offspring-led Punk Rock
revival, The Ramones' sound
would fit nicely into the
Alternative Rock Radio formats.
Another cut that would fit in
well with today's Punk revival is
"The Crusher". It was written by
The Ramones original Bassist
Dee Dee Ramone, who retired
from the band in 1987, and sung
by current Bassist CJ. Ramone.
"The Crusher" is a whimsical
tune about a young wrestler
about to face off against the
Russian Bear, whom he fears will
tear him limb from limb. Any fan
of studio wrestling would defi-
nitely enjoy the humor of this
song.
C J.'s vocals also lend a unique
hardcore twist to the track
"Cretin Family". With the infec-
tious chant, "Everyone's against

me Oi Oi Oi Oi", that would
encourage all but the lamest of
Punk Rock fans to get in the pit.
"I Love You" was a song origi-
nally recorded by the late Johnny
Thunders of the New York Dolls.
The Ramones pay tribute to their
fallen hero on this track, which
also contains some of Johnny
Ramones' most emotional guitar
playing ever. The New York
Dolls were a great influence on a
lot of early Punk bands, and it is
indeed a fitting tribute those
Punk Rock pioneeers that The
Ramones carry their music to a
new audience.
"She Talks To Rainbows" is as
close to a ballad as The Ramones
can get. Written by Lead Vocalist
Joey Ramone, the song describes
a girl who talks to everything,
except him. This song can be eas-
ily related to by those guys have
had a crush on a girl that didn't
even know he existed. This song
could be the one that pushes The
Ramones to the height of popu-
larity that newer Punk bands, like
Green Day, are enjoying.
Other standout cuts on Adios
Amigos! are, "Life's A Gas",
which seems to be The Ramones'
outlook on life, "Scattergun" and
"Have A Nice Day". The biggest
surprise, however, is the unlisted
bonus track at the end of the disc.
The Ramones bring us thier own
fast-paced version of "The
Spiderman Theme song".
If Adios Amigos! does push The
Ramones out of obscurity and
into the mainstream, the sad fact
remains that Adios Amigos! is
The Ramones' final album. The
Ramones have decided to pack it
in after twenty years and almost
as many albums. Guitarist
Johnny Ramone said in Guitar
World Magazine that, "We are
not breaking up, but rather retir-
ing. I was sad to see Nolan Ryan
stop playing baseball, but I can't
be doing this when I'm 50."
The Ramones started a revolu-
tion back in 1976 with their per-
formance at London's
Roundhouse Club. With these
appearances, they inspired many
young bands of the time, such as
The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The
Buzzcocks, The Damned and
countless others. The Ramones
outlasted, and in some cases,
oulived them all.Now the found-
ing fathers of Punk Rock have
decided to call it a day, and it is
with fond memories of listening
to thier music and seeing them in
conceit that we can with great
emotion finally say adios amigos.
•LOVEJONES-"Powerful Pain
Relief This LP is LoveJones
second album and I feel that
their music falls short of it's
desired goal. LoveJones is
known to play a cross between
funk, lounge music, doo-wop,
swing, and Latin jazz. All of this
is present on their album, but it is
delivered with no feeling, and
lacks what this music needs the
most... soul. The music and
vocals aren't taken far enough
which gives this album a major
80's vibe instead of the classic
sound they are trying to achieve.
If you want to hear music such as
this done right, continue listening
to your old Sly and the Family
Stone records.-D.G.
♦SHELTER- Mantra Shelter's
new release takes this band in a
positive, forward direction. It's
not a rehash of their previous
albums, but contains some famil-
iar elements as well as some new
ones. Shelter contains members
of the legendary New York hard-
core outfit Youth of Today.
Vocalist Ray Cappo continues to
relay emotional music with a
positive message on "Mantra",
with a variety of different musi-
cal styles. This release fmds
Shelter trying their hand at guitar
grooved rap successfully. Some
of the tracks have a pop punk feel
while others will delight hardcore
purists with an edge that could be
taken straight off a Youth of
Today album. Shelter's main
goal is to inspire people to live a
positive lifestyle to help this civ-
ilization to achieve a cruelty free
existence. There's no fluff here.
Each track is used to inspire peo-
ple towards excellence and

More Women Are College
Presidents, Study Finds
by College Press Service
WASHINGTON-The number
of women beading US colleges
and universities has more than
tripled in the past two decades, a
new study by the American
Counsel of Education has found.
During the 1994-95 academic
year, 453 women served as presi-
dents of higher education institu-
tions, up from 148 decades earli-
er.
Women made up 16 percent of
the presidents of the nearly 3,000
colleges in 1994-95, according to
ACE. This is up from 12 percent
in 1992, 10 percent in 1984, and
5 percent in 1975, when ACE
began monitoring statistics on
women presidents.
Traditionally, women college
presidents have held posts large-
ly private institutions, in many
cases at women's colleges. But
1995 figures show a narrowing of
the gap between the number of
women beading public and pri-
vate institutions.
Forty-eight percent of all
women presidents in 1994-95
headed public institutions, up
from 36 percent in 1984 and 11
percent in 1975.
"We're encouraged by the
increased rate at which women
have been assuming presidencies
in the last two years," said ACE's
Judith G. Touch-tone, deputy
director of the Office of Women
in Higher Education.
Despite the gains made by
women, men continue to hold
most college and university pres-
idencies. Eighty-four percent of
presidents at private and 85 per-
cent at public institutions in 1995
were men.
"We remain concerned about
the areas in which less progress
has been made," Toughton said.
"Why is it, for example, that
despite the substantially
increased attention given to
women and women's issues over
the last two decades, Very real
disparities continue to exist
between men and women in our
colleges and universities in many
areas— compensation being just
one?"

Irish spirit ran high at the Hart Chapei Theatre last Monday night as Cathal
McConnell (left) and Lenn Graham (right) enchanted audiences with their traditional
songs of love, friends, and happiness. Combined, the two talented artists have per-
formed on over 30 albums. Their recent duet album, For the Sake of Old Decency, is
nominated for the National Association of Independent Record Distributors and
Manufacturers for the top release of 1994. McConnell and Graham proved their talent
by presenting an incredible concert of Irish music. Over the years they have been the
source of numerous songs recorded by many groups and individual artists. They've
received nominations for several international awards and a nomination for the
Grammy Award.
Disgruntled Reader Confesses to Stealing Campus Paper
by College Press Service
AUSTIN, Texas— When
Carrado Giovanella saw his name
in the University of Texas news-
paper, he decided to take the
story and run with it, literally.
Hurrying to various spots on
campus on early Aug. 31,
Giovanella stole 5,800 copies of
The Daily Texan and dumped
them in a recycling bin at a near-
by shopping center. Giovanella
took the papers after reading
about his arrest for writing a bad
check and forging a letter of rec-
commendation to the university.
After being confronted by UT
campus police six days later,
Giovanella confessed to the to
the thefts, saying he stole the
papers "in retaliation for the arti-
cle The Daily Texan printed."
Giovanella was charged with a
Class A misdemeanor. If found
guilty, he could face a 12-month
prison sentence and a $4,000
fine.
Police Capt Silas Griggs said
Giovanella, who is not a student
at the school, was an immediate
suspect because police looked
over the Aug. 31 edition to see if
a particular person might have
been embarrassed by any of the
articles "and his name jumped
out at us."
Griggs also said that several
Daily Texan vendors saw
Giovanella driving a black Ford
Explorer on campus while drop-
ping off their papers.
Giovanella was arrested for the
bad check after police learned of
his falsified admissions material.
He is accused of sending UT
officials a letter of recommenda-
tion from the dean of the Texas
A&M College of Natural
Sciences, which does not exist.
(The school has a College of
Sciences.)
As UT police were questioning
Giovanella on the forgery
charges, they discovered and out-
standing warrant for his arrest on
charges of a forged check.
Saying the newspaper's staff
was "hurt, dismayed and furious"
over the theft in an editorial,
Robert Rogers, the Daily's editor,
said the paper was planning on
pressing criminal charges and fil-
ing a civil lawsuit against
Giovanella for financial losses as
well as "the emotional distress of
the staff, and everything else our
lawyers can find."
Rogers went on to state that the
Daily Texan staff will seek puni-
tive damages and will pursue dis-
ciplinary action through the uni-
versity for any student who steals
future copies of the paper.
"We want to make students
realize the seriousness of actions
of this sort," said Kathy
Lawrence, general manager of
student publications. "The uni-
versity takes these matters very
seriously."
Lawrence said that while each
copy of the paper has a 25-cent
price stamp printed at the top of
each issue, the papers are distrib-
uted free throughout campus
because costs for the paper are
included in student fees. But
because of the pricing, the paper
can seek financial damages for
the theft, which start at $1,450,
the cost of the stolen papers.

A. Dear Anonymous: Before I answer this,
you'd better have a look at the following
question which arrived on the same day I
received your letter.
Q. Dear Mr. College: ! have a problem with my roommate. When I come
in at two in the morning and start talking on the phone, she wakes up. It's
very distracting, and I find it hard to concentrate on my conversation.
How can I tell her to sleep more soundly without being the bitch?—

A. Dear Anonymous & Anonymous's Roommate: COINCIDENSE?!
Maybe. . . but I don't think so. Now you two crazy kids need to find
a way to resolve your differences. May I suggest a good ole'
fashioned battle to the death. It's very decisive, and the winner gets
her own room!
Q. Dear Mr. College* What's your favorite "Brady Bunch' episode?—
Brady Guy, Washington, DC.
A. Dear Guy: It's a toss up between the episode where Greg and Peter

^< IFC Releases the Official Greek Alcohol Policy
Courtesy of IFC Office
Representatives from the ten
recognized fraternity chapters at
Clarion University have adopted
the Clarion University Alcohol
policy. "This policy closely par-
allels the risk management policy
developed by the Fraternity
Insurance Purchasing Group,"
according to Dr. John Postlewait,
Interfraternity council Advisor.
Postlewait also stated that, "Nine
of our local chapters were
already bound by the FIPG
Policy. Adopting the Clarion
Policy means that all chapters
will be governed by the same
alcohol policy".
The following is the list of ten
regulations as well as enforce-
ment provisions under the
Clarion Fraternity Alcohol
Policy.
1. The possession, use and/or
consumption of alcoholic bever-
ages while on chapter premises,
during an official fraternity
event, or in any situation spon-
sored or endorsed by the chapter,
must be in compliance with any
and all applicable laws of state,
province, county, city, and
Clarion University regulations.
2. No alcoholic beverages may
be purchased through the chapter
treasury nor may the purchase of
same for members or guests be
undertaken or coordinated by any
member in the name of or on
behalf of the chapter. The pur-
chase and/or use of bulk quantity
of such alcoholic beverage, i.e.,
kegs, is prohibited.
3. No chapter members, col-
lectively or individually, shall
purchase for, or serve to, or sell
alcoholic beverages to any per-
son under the legal drinking age,
(21).
4. The possession, sale and/or
use of any illegal drugs or con-
trolled substances at any chapter
"...no more alco-
hol busts for ille-
gal parties.' 9

house, sponsored event, or at any
event that an observer would
associate with the fraternity, is
strictly prohibited.
5. No chapter may co-sponsor
an event with a distributor of
alcohol, charitable organization
or tavern (tavern being defined as
an establishment generating more
than half of annual gross sales
from alcohol) where alcohol is
given away, sold, or otherwise
provided to those present
6. No chapter may co-sponsor
or co-finance a function where
alcohol is purchased by any of
the host chapters, groups, or
organizations.
7. All rush activities associat-
ed with any chapter will be dry
(alcohol free) rush functions.
8. Open parties, meaning those
with unrestricted access by non-
members of the fraternity without
specific invitation, where alcohol
is present, shall be prohibited.
9. No member shall permit,
tolerate, encourage, or participate

Fall Rush with "Meet the Soroities."
in "drinking games" during a
chapter event
10. No alcohol shall be present
at any associate member program
or activity of the chapter.
• Enforcement provisions call
for all parties to be "closed par-
ties." A closed party is one where
admission to the party is by invi-
tation only. All parties where
alcohol may be present must be
registered with the IFC Office. A
list of invited guests for each
party must also be provided to
the IFC Office.
• Guests entering the party with
alcohol must be at least 21 years
of age. A process for identifying
those of legal drinking age, or
those guests under age, must be
utilized at each event where alco-
hol may present
• All alcohol present at the
event must be brought to the
event by the individual guests,
(BYOB). No alcohol may be
provided by the chapter. Party
guests may not bring alcohol to
the party for another person. The
furnishing of any alcohol to
underage guests either by mem-
bers of the chapter or by invited
guests is strictly prohibited.
Fraternity events where alcohol
may be present will be monitored
by a fraternity monitoring com-
mittee.
• Violations of any of the provi-
sions of the policy will be report-
ed to IFC personnel. If a chapter
is found to be in violation of the
policy, the violation can result in
the chapter being censured or
suspended by IFC and other
appropriate disciplinary actions
may be taken.
"The adoption of the Clarion
University Fraternity Alcohol
Policy assures that all of our
chapters are operating under the
same guidelines. This policy also

where alcohol may be present
will be in compliance with state
and local laws as well as univer-

where alcohol is present may be

Neither the IFC or the University
can or will condone violations of

said that this latest policy is a
very positive step in removing a
negative stigma that has plagued

Krugger. Krugger also stated that

"So, aren't you in charge of the
Greeks?" This is often a question
asked of Diana Anderson, advi-
sor to the Panhellenic Council.
The answer is "No, the Greeks
are in charge of themselves." In
1992, budgetary constraints
placed on the University caused
the full-time position of Director
of Greek Life to be eliminated.
Effective the Fall of 1992,
some of the responsibilities of the
position were delegated to John
Postlewait as advisor to the IFC
and to Ms. Anderson, Panhellenic
Council Advisor. "John and I
serve in almost the same adviso-
ry capacity as do advisors to
other recognized organizations"
stated Ms. Anderson. "Our quar-
ter-time advisory responsibilities
to each council are now clearly
stated in the University
Calendar/Handbook."
The regulation of the Greek
system falls on the Panhellenic
and Interfraternity Councils
respectively. Terri Steigelman,
Panhellenic Council President
describes the Council as "the
governing body, similar to a
Student Council, of the ten mem-
ber national sororities." The
Council convenes weekly and is
comprised of two delegates from
each chapter. "We promote inter-
sorority cooperation, coordinate
membership selection(rush), and
new member education(formerly
known as pledging). The
Council has just returned from a
week-end retreat which served to
educate the council officers and
delegates through team building
activities, reflection exercises,
and sessions on delegate respon-
sibilities, meeting management
and goal setting.
Serving as officers of the
Panhellenic Council for the
1995-96 academic year are Terri
Steigelman, President; Liz
Dorner, Vice President-
Committees; Stacy Walls, Vice
President-Rush; Kristy Valosio -
Treasurer; and Jenny Dalby,
Secretary. Students and Greeks
are invited to stop by the Council
office in room 267 Gemmell

Witte and Niedbala receive honors
Golden Eagles off to 3-0 start, face 114 ranked Millersville next
by Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
Second year bead coach Malen
Luke has Clarion off and run-
ning, as the Golden Eagles have
jumped to a 3-0 start.
Clarion opened the 1995 grid-
iron campaign with an exciting,
hard-fought 24-23 win in the
home opener against West
Virginia Wesleyan.
The Golden Eagles tossed a td
pass and a two-point conversion
pass with 26 seconds remaining
to claim the victory. That was
probably the most exciting win
since the upset of IUP in 1992.
Then, on September 9th,
Clarion travelled to Westminster
and defeated the National
Champs of Division II NAI A 42-
0.
Clarion totally dominated the
Titans on both sides of the ball.
Last Saturday, the powerful
Golden Eagle offense put up big
numbers again as they defeated
the Fairmont State Falcons 48-
13.
The 3-0 start has re-kindled
football interest on campus as
well as throughout the local com-
munity.
The 3-0 start is the best since
1984, when the Golden Eagles
started off with a 4-0 mark.
Coach Luke is quick to hand off
the credit for the team's 1995
success to date.
"I think our coaching staff and
players have done a tremendous
job together, " Luke said. "Our
coaching staff has done a great
job with preperation and teaching
their positions. The players have
a great attitude and work ethic
and dedication to be the best.
That's all we can ask," Luke
added.
The Clarion Golden Eagle
offense has put their Wing_T
offense in high gear. After three
games, Clarion is averaging
271.7 yards on the ground and
202.3 through the air, for a total
offense of 474 yards and 38
points per game.
That statistic is truly amazing,
and if the Golden Eagles keep
their level of play up to this level,
then they will be a very tough
team to beat.
Although the offense has set a
great scoring pace, maybe the
biggest improvement thus far has
been Clarion's defensive play.
The Golden Eagles are giving
up only 52 yards rushing and
196.7 passing yards for an oppo-
nent total offense of 248.7 yards
and 13 points per game.
Compare that with the 31.4 ppg
and 392 yards of total offense
yielded in 1994 and the improve-
ment is significant.
The defense and offense both
played integral roles in the
Golden Eagles defeat of
Fairmont State.
Once again the Golden Eagles
dominated both sides of the ball,
and Fairmont could do nothing
about it
Fairmont had a 1,000 yard rush-
er in Thomas Foster. The Golden
Eagle M D" answered the call and
held Foster under 45 yards rush-
ing for the day.
Fairmont also has a talented
young quarterback Jarrod
Furgason. Furgason was pres-
sured most of the day, and was
never able to get comfortable,
and thus the Golden Eagle
defense dominated him.
Leading the way on defense are
senior tackles Joe Morlacci, Shad
Sahm, and Jason Slizofski.
The perimeters are guarded by
juniors Joe Bzorek and Wayne
Ailing, along with freshman Phil
Rayford.
The inside linebacking tandem
includes juniors Erik Baumener
and Thomas Williams.
The secondary is led by All-
America free safety Kim
Niedbala.
Niedbala is joined by seniors
Ric Giles and Pat Span at the cor-
ners, and freshman Brett Wiley
starts at strong safety.
The kicking game is led by
punter Keith O'Connor, and
place kicker Tyler Palisin.
O'Connor is averaging 34.9
yards per punt this season.
Pailsin, a sophomore who sat
out last year, has made 2 of 2
field goals, but struggles on extra
points making 8 of 12.
Eric "Bo" Wilson/Clarion Call
Clarion's offense has people talking this year, and a lot of the credit falls on the shoulders
of offensive line coach Ron Crook(Left) and Offensive Co-Ordinator Warren
Ruggiero(Right).
Clarion is truly playing as a
team now, and with the
Millersville game coming up, the
Golden Eagles could not have
come together at a better time.
The Golden Eagles have caused
a lot of excitement throughout
the campus as well as the com-
munity.
Clarion is off this week, but
returns to action against #14
ranked Millersville on Saturday,
September 30th.
Kickoff at Clarion's Memorial
Stadium is set for 2 p.m.
Millersville defeated Clarion
40-27 last year.
Millersville has the #1 defense in
the PSAC in 1995 and is yielding
only 13 rushing yards and 97.5
passing yards per game, setting
up a very interesting matchup.
It will be quite interesting to see
how Clarion's powerful offensive
line and running game fare
against the tough Millersville
defense. Ron Dejidas and Steve
Witte will be counted on heavily
in order to secure a Golden eagle
victory.
Chris Weibel will also play an
integral role, and the option will
be a big key to Clarion's chances
of victory.
Tight end Chad Speakman will
be counted on once again for his
excellent blocking skills.
From 1961-1987 Clarion
owned the NCAA Division II
streak for consecutive non-losing
seasons at 27. The streak ended
in 1988.
Since 1961, Clarion has had an
overall football record of 211-
112-6, a winning percentage of
65%.
Clarion won the PSAC West
title on the field in 1992, win-
ning the last six games of the sea-
son including a 35-26 victory
over IUP in the season finale.
Steve Witte was named PSAC
West Offensive Player of the
Week for the second week in a
row. Witte rushed for 157
yards and scored three td's
against Fairmont State. Witte
also caught four passes for 85
yards.
Witte has six touchdowns this
year, and is just two td's short
of former Ail-American wide-
out Terry McFetridge's record
of 25.
Teammate Kim Niedbala, a
junior free safety, was named
to the PSAC-West defensive
"Honor Roll" for the third
straight week.
Niedbala leads the Golden
Eagles in tackles with 24 solo
and 11 assists, for a total of 35
tackles. Niedbala has also
caused a fumble, broken up
two passes, and intercepted 1
pass.
Niedbala has 159 career
tackles, 6 interceptions, and 3
quarterback sacks in his career.

Quick quiz: Without looking
back through the sports section,
how many Clarion University
athletes can you name? Do you
know what they do in their sport?
Have you ever gone to see them
compete?
If you could answer yes to all
three of those questions, then you
are in a definite minority at
Clarion. CUP is suffering from a
major lack of support for our ath-
letic programs. The football and
basketball* games are still fairly
well attended.
However, even these sports are
far from filling the stands to
capacity.
Did you know that during the
fall semester, Clarion has 6 varsi-
ty sports in action?
This includes women's volley-
ball, tennis, and cross country, as
well as men's football, cross
country, and golf. Also, though
not varsity sports, Clarion fields a
men's and a women's rugby
squad.
I'm not real sure why this fan
apathy exists in Clarion. I sup-
pose everyone has their own rea-
sons, but their just isn't any
excuse for not supporting your
schools athletics.
What ever happened to good old
fashioned school spirit? Athletic

our school. They give us some-
thing we can be proud of.
So what's your reason? Not
enough excitement you say?
Have you ever seen Jenny Betters
put away a kill on a big point for
the volleyball team?
How about Melody Dess ending
a long tennis rally with a smash
overhead?
What if somehow you have
managed to avoid seeing Steve
Wine bust through a wide open
hole at the line of scrimmage,
break a tackle or two, and ramble
into the end zone.. .you don't
know what excitement is.
Some of my best memories of
my four years at Clarion center
around athletic events. I remem-
ber the first time I saw a CUP
wrestling match. I had never
seen a wrestling match in my life
let alone a big time division 1
matchup like tlie one saw that
night
Clarion wrestled against Ohio
St The stands were filled to
capacity. From the moment the
first player was introduced, the
crowd went crazy. I have never
been a wrestling fan, but the
crowd support sucked me into
the excitement.
So, what other reasons could
you possibly have for not coming
out to watch CUP athletics. I
know, we're just Division II, but
it doesn't really matter.
Please...! If you really think
division II athletics are any worse
than Division I, you're just plain
wrong.
Most of the athletes at Clarion
are not on a full scholarship.
That's the only significant differ-
ence between Clarion and any D-
I school. In fact several of our
athletic teams compete regularly
against bigger schools.
Last year the swimming & div-
ing teams went up against Pitt,
Ohio St., and Virginia.
Wrestling is a perennial D-l
power. The rugby club last year
had matches against CMU, Kent
State, and the University of
Kentucky.
Also, just a few weeks from
today the tennis team has a home
match versus the University of
Pittsburgh.
In many cases, the athletes at
Division II school are every bit as
good as a Division I athlete.
When talking with the tennis
coach at Clarion(Terry Acker), he
mentioned that in women's ten-
nis, there just aren't a lot of
scholarships to go around. So
.many excellent athletes go to
smaller schools with good acade-
mic records instead of playing for
a bigger school. Coach Acker
said he even dropped a few
Division I schools from the sced-
ule in favor of smaller, but better,
schools like Grove City.
The athletes at Clarion are just
that athletes. They work their
butts off to get in the best shape
possible. It's not all fun and
games for them.
Have any of you noticed the
small packs of crazy people run-
ning through town and campus
every day, no matter what the
weather conditions are?
It's a good bet the ones you saw
were members of the cross coun-
try or track & field teams at
Clarion. There is no such thing
as a rained out practice for them.
I realize that not everyone likes
sports. That being the case, you
can't be expected to come out
and cheer madly for something
you don't really care about. If
you havn't been to a CUP sport-
ing event lately though, give it a
chance.
You really don't have to be a
huge sports fan to appreciate the
competitiveness and fun that go
hand-in-hand with college athlet-
ics.
OK, enough of my ranting. If
you the reader , get anything
from this article, let it be this:
These athletes desire victory and
success, and they deserve our
support as fans.
Before I finish up here, let me
put in a shameless plug for the
rugby team. It's a great sport,
and it's a lot of fun to watch. Just
about anyone can play it so it
should appeal to just about every-
one.
There are people on the team
who played football in high
school, people who played soccer
in high school, and just as many
that never played a high school
sport.
Just like you don't have to be a
big fan to appreciate the excite-
ment of sports, you don't have to
be a great athlete to play them.
Feel free to come and check us
out.
Oh, and one final note. Mimi
Williams plays tennis for the
Clarion women's team. To find
out when she takes the court as
well as other CUP sports teams,
check your school calendar or

Alderton and Wilson set pace
Cross Country teams place at MP
September 21. 1995
The Clarion Call
Pa^e 23
by Terry John
Sports Writer
Clarion's cross country runners
had a successful day at IUP on
Saturday.
"The kids did very well, and
almost everyone improved their
times from the previous week,"
said head coach Pat Mooney.
Even with the improvements,
the men and women didn't fair
too well overall.
The men finished 9th out of 11
teams. IUP easily took 1st place,
with West Virginia Wesleyan fin-
sihing a distant 2nd three minutes
behind.
Brad Alderton led Clarion with
a time of 28:02, good for 31st
overall.
Tom Brady(33rd), Scott
Reffner(36th), John
Sporer(90th), and T.J.
Wellington(92nd) round out the
Golden Eagles top 5.
In a field consisting of 10
teams, the Lady Eagles finished
8th.
Slippery Rock, with 6 runners
in the top 20, were 1st overall.
Coach Mooney got another
great performance from his fresh-
men. Roxanne Wilson led the
women for the second consecu-
tive week.
Roxanne received a trophy for
her 15th place finish. Brigette
Laflin finished 23rd overall.
Wilson and Laflin each
improved their time by five sec-
onds.
Clarion's other top runners
included Bobbie
Manross(21:52), Lisa
Benlock(22:01), and Karen
Reinking (22:05).
If coach Mooney's freshmen
continue their improvement,
Clarion could become one of the
top teams in the region.
The Golden Eagles next meet is
this Saturday at the Slippery
Rock Invitational.
The next home meet is
Saturday, October 14, against the
Clarion Alumni.
Coach Acker leads the way
Tennis team back on the court
by John Sarver
Sports Writer
String up your rackets and get
ready to be aced! That's right
sports fans, the Clarion Women's
tennis team is ready to take to the
courts once again. The Golden
Eagles, who are coming off a
strong 6th place finish in last
year's PSAC championships, are
a young team on the rise.
Sixth year coach Terry Acker
has all 6 of his singles starters
from last years team returning for
competition this year. Anchoring
the team is Senior Melody Dess
at #1 singles.
Melody is the lone senior on this
young squad. The first of the
sophomore sensations for Clarion
checks in next at #2 singles.
Amy O'neal is looking to step it
up after a promising 1994 cam-
paign. Playing at #3 singles is
another sophomore, Brooke
Drayer.
Kristen Golia (sophomore) and
Sarah Unkefer (junior) are slotted
in at #4 and #5 singles respec-
tively. The last of the returning
starters is sophomore Maureen
Williams.
Maureen tallied the best match
record of the team last year at 7-
3. Also, freshman Carly Carrier
will be battling for a position in
the starting lineup.
Coach Acker is optimistic about
Clarion's chances in 1995. "The
conference is up for grabs this
year." says Acker.
The two teams to beat accord-
ing to the coach are Slippery
Rock and Shippensburg. The
Eagles have a tough schedule
ahead of them.
The key point of the season
could come early as Clarion has
three matches in two days against
some of the top teams in the
PSAC.
The Golden Eagles had their
first match of the year against
Grove City on Sept. 15.
Although the women lost the
match 7-0, their were some high-
lights.
In the #3 doubles match, which
doesn't count toward the final
score, Mimi Williams and Sarah
Unkefer came from behind to
defeat their Grove City oppo-
nents.
Williams and Unkefer also took
their singles matches to three
sets. Melody Dess overcame a
slow start to make a close match
of it, as she lost the final set in a
tie-breaker.

Is this the year of the Tribe?
2131, Knoblauch, and a few other random baseball thoughts
by Craig Thomas
Sports Writer
This is a quick note to every
baseball fan who quit watching
because of last year's work stop-
page-strike. Get over it
Two weeks ago you missed his-
tory being made. In case you
have been living under a rock,
you may not have known that Cal
Ripken Jr. has played more con-
secutive games than anyone.
Ripken represents everything
that is good about baseball.
Ripken has an incredible work
ethic, and he is something you
really don't find nowadays, a
nice guy.
This past summer during the
All-Star game, Ripken stayed out
2 hours after practice and signed
autographs for fans.
It was over 100 degrees, and
some of you might remember
that this was the practice that
Darren Daulton and Lenny
Dykstra blew off because their
game went into extra innings the
night before, and they were
sleepy.
Cal Ripken Jr. is 100% class.
When he did his victory lap that
night, I swear he shook every lit-
tle kids hand within reach.
I know I saw him go back and
give one little boy high fives
when he missed him the first
time. ESPN's Chris Berman
summed up Ripken's streak the
best during bis 22 minute stand-
ing ovation, when he didn't say
anything at all. (You know you
have just seen something amaz-
ing when Chris Berman is
speechless!)
There was another man this
year who reached a plateau.
Cleveland's Eddie Murray
smacked bis 300th base hit earli-
er this year.
Ripken* and Eddie Murray's
races with immortality helped
soften the strike backlash.
It's true that both have different
approaches to the media. Murray
blows reporters off to put it
politely, but thanks to the miracle
of cable TV I saw them both.
There's another thing that's
been bothering me, people are
saying that baseball attendance is
down this year.
I never noticed, the team I root
for has been sold out since July.
In case you were wondering, it's
the Indians, who are also base-
ball's biggest road draw.
Wow, put a good team on the
field and people will watch them,
that's a surprise.
The Indians have a chance to
win 100 games this year.
Considering Major League
Baseball's schedule is only 144
games this year, that's pretty
impressive.
How does baseball reward the
Tr^be for having the best record?
Give them home field advantage
in the playoffs, right? No! For
some reason, home field advan-
tage is pre-determined.
This years lucky winner is the
American League West.
You can look at the new playoff
system from two schools of
thought. One, it creates excite-
ment because of the red hot Wild
Card race.
Nothing gets me more pumped
than watching two teams battle it
out with records of 69-63 and 67-
64.
One might be apt to say that this
wild card format rewards medi-
ocrity.
It does. No team with a record
4 games over .500 deserves to be
in the playoffs.

worst team? Chuck Knoblauch
of the Minnesota Twins holds this
distinction.
Folks, the Twins absolutely
stink. But, Knoblauch is still
putting up some impressive num-
bers.
He is second in the league in hits
and batting average.
He's the lone bright spot on a
really bad team.(Well they do
have Kirby Puckett, but Kirby's
just being Kirby)
Look for Knoblauch to follow
in the footsteps of former team-
mate Rick Aguilera.
Remember Mr. Puckett's reac-
tion to that?
Well it is un-printable.
Knoblauch is good, so the Twins
will trade him.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the
Dodgers lost the wild card spot
by one game?
Remember when all the fans in
LA didn't want those baseballs
and gave them back.(They threw
the balls on the field and the
Dodgers were forced to forfeit
the game)
Should Hideo Nomo be eligible
for the NL Rookie of the Year
since he has been playing profes-
sionally in Japan for 5 years?
Does anyone else think Coors
Field is a joke?
Sure, it's got a brewery in the
stadium, so that's always a
bonus, but for real, 4 Rockies are
in the Top 10 in Homeruns?
Call me crazy, but do you think
the wind has anything to do with
it?
Roberto Alomar wants to play
with his brother, Sandy(The often
injured catcher) who just happens
to play for the Cleveland Indians.
If this happened, Carlos Baerga
would move to third, Omar
Vizquel would remain at short,
Alomar would play second, and
Jim Thome could platoon at first
with rookie Herbert Perry.
Paul Sorrento is gone after this
year anyway.
Nothing would get up the mid-

die on that defense, but Perry and
Thome must learn how to speak
fluent Spanish.
The New york Yankees have a
$50 million dollar payroll and
they may not make the playoffs.
Good, I hate the Yankees.
I stated earlier that Cal Ripken
Jr. symbolizes everything good
about baseball, the Yankees are
on the other end of the spectrum.
If you are a tax-evading, coa-
caine-using wife beater, George
Steinbrenner has a job for you.
I do believe in second chances,
not fourth or fifth chances.
Does Steve Howe ring a bell to
any of you sports fans out there?
He got 6 chances for cocaine and
that is a joke in itself.
Why is Greg Maddux so good,
and why does he have to play for
the Braves? I hate the Braves,
and I don't even like National
League baseball, too much artifi-
cial turf.
The baseball post season begins
in about two weeks. Look for
upsets because there are always
upsets.
It's a brand new ballgame in the
post season, and regular season
records are basically thrown out
the window.
I refuse to make predictions
because I have personally felt the
curse of Lake Erie, but man those
Indians look good.

The Clarion Call
General Education changes impact freshman
By Mary Beth Curry
News Editor
Approximately one fourth of
the Clarion University
undergraduate student
population will feel the effects of
new general education
requirements in effect for this
year.
The new requirements have
been incorporated into the
different check sheets, so
students can see what they have
to accomplish at CU.
One of the major differences
brought about by this change is
the addition of a required
mathematics course and
quantitative reasoning
requirement for every new
student in the university.
According to the new math
requirement, at least one course
that is higher than or equal to
Mam 110, Intermediate Algebra,
must be completed by each
student before they will become
eligible for graduation.
If students do not place as high
as Intermediate Algebra on the
placement tests they were given
before scheduling, they may take
lower level math courses.
However, the credits earned
from these courses cannot be
counted towards graduation.
"Students who feel it is unfair
to take college classes that do
not count for credits toward
graduation should ask
themselves if they were
adequately prepared for college
level work," said Dr. John Kuhn,
Provost and Academic Vice
President.Dr. Kuhn went on to
say that he does not feel that a
student should be allowed to sign
up for a course in which he or
she cannot earn at least a C.
He feels that this particular
step of general education will
help students do better quality
work in the long run. Along with
the new math requirements, it is
also necessary for students to
take a three credit course in
quantitative reasoning. The
subject matter of this course
includes many different topics in
maths, science, and even
business.
Another change incorporated
in the general education
curriculum is the use of flags
that will not be dropped until
students take 8 classes dealing
with specialized skills and
thinking.
These flags will be on each
check sheet to insure that every
student leave Clarion University
with the ability to think and
apply their knowledge in a
beneficial way.
The new requirements consist
of two values flags, two writing
flags, three application flags and
one linked flag.
The values flags can either
both be general education, or one
can be taken from within the
major. According to Kuhn, the
classes that apply to these flags
do not teach particular values,
but rather allow the students to
debate and analyze value issues.
The writing intensive flags
must be one general education
class and one class within the
major. Application flags were
put into place to ensure that
students would be able to take
knowledge from their major and
understand it in a higher context.
Classes that will drop these
flags are part of the major
requirements.The linked flag is a
way to ensure that students gain
understanding of topics that are
covered in one or more area of
liberal knowledge. Most history
classes have already been
approved to drop this flag.
The new requirements do not
have a direct impact on the
general electives that are found
on the right side of the check
sheets.
However, in some majors, the

Elected members of the court will be announced Friday. Winning members will be called.
new procedures may allow a
student to increase the number of
general electives he or she is
eligible to complete.
For example, on the biology
check sheet, the math courses on
the left side will fulfill the
mathematics requirement on the
right The department has okays
the transferring of the credits
from the left to the right,
allowing the student to finish the
credits needed for graduation by
taking an additional free elective.
This new flexibility is not
available for every major. In
order to find out if it applies to
his or her specific instance, a
student must read the footnotes
on his or her check sheet and
contact his or her academic
advisor.
The revisions to the curriculum
have been taking place for the
last 4 or 5 years and were just
recently approved by the faculty
and faculty senate.
Dr. Stanton Green, Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences,
explained the procedure for
course approval. He said that in
order for a course to qualify for
dropping a flag, the department
must first submit a proposal that
states the content of the course
and explains why it would meet
the requirements imposed by the
flag .The requirements are then
taken to the Council on General
Education, Chaired by Dr. Anne
Day, for approval.
Dr. Green urges students who
are effected by this year's
changes to hold on to their
folders and check sheets. He
went on to say that if they stay
on top of the situation they
should encounter no problems.
One measure the university is
implementing in order to help
students better manage their
academic dealings is the on-line
transcript. This will be a
computer generated check sheet
that will analyze the courses
students have completed and
advise them in many areas. The
project is currently in the
developmental stages.
Also among the changes taking
place this semester is the
elimination of the Physical
Education requirements, and the
addition of two credits in
Personal Performance.
This will allow students to fill
the requirements, previously
only fulfilled by physical
education courses, by giving a
performance in an area of the
arts.
For example, a musical recital
and drama production may now
count toward graduation. The
changes can only be found on a
signed 1995 copy of the check
sheet, and will not effect
students attending the university
before this semester.
"We want to make sure our
students get the best education
they can to help them succeed in
both life and the workplace.
The requirements in the new
curriculum will help Clarion
University students be more
competitive in the workplace by
increasing their writing, critical
thinking, and data management
skills," said Dr. Day.

OPINION
Editorial
Curry
Clarion University is great! A
place where you are more than a
number, but are still afforded a
wealth of educational opportuni-
ty.
It seems recently the student
body hasn't had many positive
comments to make about this fine
institution. Perhaps, with the cur-
rent concerns of parking and
increasing food prices, the
numerous improvements have
escaped their attention. Allow me
to correct that notion.
The Chandler Dining Hall has
shown enormous improvements
since my freshman year (Fall
1993). The salad bar has expand-
ed to feature many new cold
salad items, as well as a few hot
selections for variety.
Also, the food lines have
changed to incorporate a plethora
of new items and old favorites.
The addition of the accent bar
has been an aid in stopping the
congestion that used to occur
between the salad people and
those dining in the deli-line.
Another program implemented
to help aid speedier service uti-
lizes the new computers at the
Health Center (see page 6). Here
a student types in his/her own
vital information and is treated.
When I first saw this system, I
expected to be inconvenienced.
However, it proved to be a valu-
able aid in my speedy service;
something the Health Centerhas
needed. Another new feature at
the Health Center is the adoption
of a new policy concerning emer-
gencies. Emergencies will now
be treated on a priority basis,
over appointments.
To the student who called three
days in advance this may present
a problem; however, I feel that it
is good to know that if you begin
to vomit blood, you no longer
have a three day waiting period
for an appointment
All right, I'll admit it, the first
time I saw "Get a Life, at
Clarion," I laughed too, but I read
it this weekend, and it's really
good.
The university went all out this
time and, as a result , they devel-
oped a sharp new recruitment
tool.
It's not cheap looking (and it is
loaded with stories about the uni-
versity that are quite entertaining
and applicable to our lives.)
These are just three areas the
university took time to improve
on. Okay, so you don't agree with

Why Liberal
Arts? Part one
ConL on pg. 4
Educational journals and the
media for some time have report-
ed the decline of the Humanities
and other Liberal Arts in
America's colleges.
Job-oriented students, egged on
by parents worried about their
children making their own way in
the world, have increasingly
turned to college majors whose
training they think will bring
them better financial prospects.
Thus, all over the country, large
numbers of students have
enrolled in business courses,
computer courses, and other
courses which appear to promise
a specific vocation or profession.
The long laments of some in the
academic discipline that our col-
leges are being turned into "trade
schools," however, are not new.
More than 50 years ago,
President Robert M. Hutchins of
the University of Chicago wrote
forcefully against the rising tide
of vocationalism and over spe-
cialization in our schools and col-
leges, and came down strongly
for a general education for every-
one in the Liberal Arts. He
thought students should have a
liberal education before they spe-
cialize.
While for years Mr. Hutchins
may have sounded as a voice cry-
ing in the wilderness, recent
trends show the Humanities and
other Liberal Arts are still alive

and well, thank you, and in fact
appear to be heading for a resur-
gence toward their old role at the
Core of the college curriculum.
The Washington Post Weekly
(Jan. 28, 1985, p. 29) carried a
story entitled "Go Ahead, Major
in the Liberal Arts," by William
J. Bennett. Bennett was chosen
by President Reagan to move
liberal Arts majors
appear at a disadvan-
tage hi finding their
first jobs..."
from the chairmanship of the
National Endowment for the
Humanities to become the next
Secretary of Education. Mr.
Bennett reported on a survey of
1,300 recent University of Texas
Liberal Arts graduates which
showed that 80 percent are
employed full-time, 12 percent
are full-time grad students, five
percent are now working by
choice, and only three percent are
unemployed and looking for
work.
Of the Liberal Arts majors sur-
veyed, 28 percent went on to
graduate degrees and are now in
many different professional
careers, including medicine, law,
education, and the business
world. Of the Liberal Arts majors
who left college without graduate
work, 47 percent are in business
positions and 24 percent in such
work as journalism, human ser-
vices, and politics. The big sur-
prise is that only eight percent
became teachers, a career usually
looked upon as the dead-end
alternative to either grad school
or the unemployment line.
The University of Texas survey
concluded that Liberal Arts grad-
uates have a wider range of job
opportunities than do those with
specialized undergraduate
majors. This range includes
everything from banking and real
estate and computers to market
research, radio and
television.While Liberal Arts
majors appear at a disadvantage
in finding their first jobs, Mr.
Bennett suggests that the Liberal
Arts majors, in the end, may have
o
a
1 1
o
Totten
the edge. He also reports on an A
T & T study which "showed that
43 percent of the humanities and
social science majors achieved at
least the fourth level of the cor-
poration's management hierarchy
(a measure of considerable suc-
cess), compared with only 32
percent for business majors and
23 percent for engineers."
Why did Liberal Arts majors
achieve this unsuspected suc-
cess? Partly because Liberal arts
majors develop skills useful in all
areas of work, skills in writing,
speaking, analysis, and research.
They are also more knowledge-
able in language, literature, phi-
losophy, history, politics, art and
music, and natural sciences — in
short, they are more aware of the
world and the problems of their
culture and traditions, and thus
have a broader viewpoint. Such
graduates, after appointment,
then developed specialized busi-
ness skills through on-the-job
training or in graduate schools of
business.
Mr. Bennett quotes Robert
Chandler, President of Chemical
Bank, as stating: "A liberally
educated person is still the type
of individual needed at the high-
est levels of corporate life.
The technical skills are built
upon this base. It is that peculiar
mix of the behavioral sciences,
natural sciences, mathematics,
history and English that produces
a mind capable, in later life, of
bringing mature judgment to
complex -- and sometimes great -
- issues." But to urge the study of
the Liberal Arts as a means to get
a better job is to miss their mean-
ing entirely.

READER RESPONSES!
Just another Dean in the SSHE pyramid
Editor Zaikoski;
This letter is to comment on a
piece of information which
appeared in the September 21
issue of "The Clarion Call."
Dr. Jeffery Macomber replaces
Stephen Johnson who has been
named Associate Dean for the
College of Arts and Sciences at
Clarion University.
Let me make it clear that in no
way am I challenging the
personal integrity or
qualification of Stephen
Johnson. My comments are
directed to our administration
and SSHE (State System of
Higher Education).
I am questioning the purpose
of the Associate Dean Position.
So far, in four semesters at
Clarion, the only need I've had
for a DEAN was to have that
office sign my "permission to
enter a closed class form."
I feel as though there are
multiple layers of administration
above me which I have to
Letters
to
the
Editor
answer to and support both
financially and academically. It
is a position which causes me to
feel powerless.
How will adding another layer
of administration to my already
heavily laden shoulders give me
a better education?
We have the chair of a
Department, the Associate Dean,
and Dean of a College, the
Academic Provost, and the
President — that's just academic
Administration! What about
Maintenance, Public Safety,
Health or Dining to name a few
more layers to support... all these
shouldered by us students. How
much more will we be expected
to take on?
I believe the D. Partonian law
of structural stability states, "The
more top heavy a structure
becomes, the more likely it is to
fall over and collapse."
What kind of geometric shape
does our higher education
system look like at this point?
How about an inverted triangle?
It is said, "A word to the wise
is sufficient" So... Is it possible
that without some serious
rethinking we'll be hearing the
haunting, "HELP ! I've
fallen and I can't get up!"
bellowed by our higher
education structure in the not-
too-distant future?
Sincerely,
Sandra Anderson
Stop consuming the animal rights propaganda
Dear Editor.
They never cease to amaze me-
those activists like Kenneth
Emerick, who wrote last week
(9/21/95) insisting we stop
eating meat for the sake of
humanity, fair animal treatment,
and even for the environment.
These activists distort the facts,
if they ever learn them. They
paint a very evil picture of
farmers as neglectful, cruel,
greedy, and hard-hearted
barbarians.
They would have you believe
that some underworld villain
profits from your burgers and
occasional steaks. They desire
that you change your life and
sacrifice nutritionally sound food
based on misinformation.
The story they refuse to tell is
the one of the noble profession
of farming. Fanners and their
families invest long and hard
hours for little return - that is
little economic return.
Fanners are people of integrity,
who take pride in an honest days
work. Very few in our society
would spend 70 plus hours tilling
the land, harvesting the crops,
feeding and breeding the
livestock, cleaning their pens,
attending seminars, and
borrowing hundreds of
thousands of dollars, to make
somewhere near minimum wage.
Voice your opinion!
Write a Letter to the Editor
and address the entire
campus!
All letters must be
signed!
And yet the attack is launched
against them.
Little is heard of family farms
where the children raise dairy
and beef cattle as 4-H projects
caring for them, bathing them,
calling them by name.
I grew up on such a farm.
Many friends have as well. I
studied at Penn State, achieving
a Bachelor of Science in Dairy
Production.
The only times I heard of
people beating animals, not
feeding them, and leaving them
in the cold was with city cats and
dogs. And of the experiments,
what is so harmful about testing
selected diets to yield us a leaner
grade of beef or more milk per
cow?
Unlike your local propagandists,
I suggested you talk to some
local farmers, take some animal
science courses, or attend the
Pennsylvania State Farm Show
in Harrisburg the first week in
January.
Please inform yourself before
you decide.
Sincerely,

College Campus News
A Drinking Pill?
What if you could take a pill
before you head out to the bars,
drink all night and never feel a
thing?
Well, good news. A chemist
from Japan is claiming that
ancient Chinese medicines once
used to treat arthritis, stomach
problems and other medical
conditions contain substances
that could prevent alcohol
intoxication.
"It is an obvious connection,"
said Dr. Massyuki Yoshikawa, in
town for a seminar sponsored by
the American Chemical Society.
"Many ancient medicines
contain inhibitors of alcohol
absorption."
To test his theory, Yoshikawa
used individual samples of
angelica tree roots, camellia
seeds, seneca
snakeroot,
horse chestnut
seeds and
soapberry
plants on rats,
who were
given a pill of
the extracted
substance. The drugged rats, as
well as an unmedicated bunch,
were given a series of liquid
samples, which contained at
least 20 percent alcohol, and
were tested for their response.
Blood samples, taken each
hour, indicated that the rats who
had received the medication had
alcohol levels ranging from zero
to one-fifth the levels found in
the control rats.
Injury sidelines ND Coach
Two days after posting their
first win of the season, Notre
Dame's football team received
some bad news: head coach Lou
Holtz was headed for the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, Minn., for
emergency spinal cord
compression surgery.
Holtz, 58, will miss at least
three games while recovering
from his anterior disectomy.
Physicians at the Mayo Clinic
said Holtz should be "up and
about in no time."
Neurosurgeons removed a
slipped disc that was just below
Holtz's neck and replaced it with
a bone graft from his hip.
The removed disc had been
bulging against Holtz's spinal
cord and had bothered the coach
for at least four weeks.
Holtz, who will have to wear a
neck brace for up to six weeks,
returned to the South Bend
campus one week after the
surgery.
In Holtz's absence, defensive
coordinator Bob Davie will act
as head coach for the Fighting
Irish and offensive coordinator
Dave Roberts will take over the
play-calling, which has been the
exclusive responsibility of
Holtz.
Holtz's surgery comes at a
crucial time in Notre Dame
football. Before a narrow win at
Purdue in the second week of
the season, the Irish had lost six
of their previous eight games.
But Davie and Roberts are
confident they can help turn the
season around.
"We have to do the job that
Lou trained us to do," Davie
said. "Hopefully the team will
rally around Coach Holtz and
give it their best effort."
Study links vision problems
A new study by Old Dominion
University researchers has found
a link between vision problems
and at-risk college students.
In the study, the vision skills of
students whose chances of
completing college are minimal
were compared with graduate
students.
Eighty percent of the
academically at-risk college
students failed at least one
vision test, said researchers.
The at-risk college freshman
scored significantly lower than
graduate students on Vision

Fatigue syndrome linked to disorder
Chronic fatigue syndrome was linked to an abnormality in the
body's mechanism for regulating blood pressure in a study that
suggests drug treatment and a high-salt diet may combat the
debilitating illness.
The study of 23 adults reported in today's Journal of the
American Medical Association expanded on earlier research by
doctors at Johns Hopkins University. The earlier study found the
similar results with teen-agers who suffer from the disorder.
In the study of adults with chronic fatigue syndrome, all but one
were found to have a disorder in regulating blood pressure called
neurally mediated hypotension.
Kasparov evens chess championship
World champion Garry Kasparov hit back with a stunning
victory over challenger Viswanathan Anand in the 10th game of
their professional Chess Association title bout Tuesday to even the
score at 5-5.
The first eight games of the match bad ended in draws before
Anand won on Monday.
The winner of the contest, which is being played on the 107th
floor of the World Trade Center, will be the first player to score
10.5 points. A win scores a point and a draw half a point.
Weaver friend says marshals fired first
Choking back tears, a friend of white separatist Randy Weaver
testified Tuesday that deputy U.S. marshals fired first in the
shootout that killed Weaver's 14-year-old son and a deputy
marshal, and that the officers identified themselves too late.
"We were just walking along the trail... making a perfect target of
ourselves," Kevin Harris told a Senate hearing of the exchange of
gunfire on Aug. 21, 1992, that killed Deputy U.S. Marshal William
Degan and Weaver's son, Sam, at Ruby Ridge, Idaho.
Also at Tuesday's hearing, Thomas Miller, an FBI agent who
reviewed that shooting for the agency, came under criticism from
senators because he said the FBI sharpshooter was justified in
firing at Mrs. Weaver.
Tests under way in USAir crash
Mid-air experiments recreating the conditions surrounding a fatal
USAir crash began in earnest Tuesday, as specially-equipped
planes took to cloudy skies over the Delaware Bay.
Data from the flights was not immediately available, however,
and investigators were unable to give even preliminary results.
The $1 million testing program is aimed at determining wherever
air turbulence from another plane played a, part in the Sept. 8, 1994
crash of a Boeing 737 in Hopewell Township near Pittsburgh.
More than a year after the accident, National Transportation
Safety Board investigators are still stumped by what caused it.
Turnpike hiring questioned
The Pennsylvania Turnpike persists in political hiring despite a
1990 IIS. Supreme Court decision barring the practice for entry-
level government jobs, witnesses told a House committee Tuesday.

Snot nosed Greeks are above an education
Dear Editor
I do not like Greek life and
quite frankly, I'm tired of
hearing about it. Everyone in
those organizations wears their
million dollar jackets around
campus and acts like they should
be admired for drinking and
buying their friends. I, on the
other hand, do not have to buy

education and that's what I
intend on getting from Clarion,
despite those snot nosed Greeks
who think they are above an
education. Even the £aii, I
thought you had a quality
publication, but now you've
sunken to their level.
A Greek page is the last thing
you need with all the issues
currently facing our campus.

Professor teaches students about different country
Dr. Teet Seene visits Clarion University campus
by John Lis
News Vtriter
Clarion University will begin to
map out a course for a Baltic
studies program this week.
This past March, Clarion
University Associate Vice-
President of Academic Affairs
Dr. Helen Lepke made plans to
start a joint relationship with the
University of Tartu, in Estonia.
This plan was made in conjunc-
tion with Dr. Rita Rice
Flaningam, Dean of Graduate
and Extended Studies and Dr.
Audean Duespohl, Dean of
Nursing.
The program will be planned
with input from Dr. Teet Seene,
the Vice Rector of the University
of Tartu in Tartu, Estonia.
Last March, plans were made
by Dr. Lepke to bring Dr. Seene
to Clarion University.
While in Clarion, Dr. Seene
will be observing the administra-
tive structure of Clarion
University. Dr. Seene has also
spent his visit in the classroom,
addressing students about the
University of Tartu, higher edu-
cation in Estonia, and some of the
troubles and changes with the
Gorbachev administration during
the 1980's.
According to Dr. Lepke,
Clarion University is also helping
out with the planning of the cur-
riculum for the B.S. in Nursing
degree for the Estonia Ministry
of Education.
That is under the direction of
Dr. Duespohl.
Dr. Flaningam is also involved
in the area of research into dis-
tance education.
Dr. Seene has been a professor
in the Department of Exercise
Physiology. He has also been a
professor of Functional
Morphology and has served as
head of the laboratory of
Functional Morphology. Also, he
has served as head of the Institute
of Exercise at the University of
Tartu. Among his other accom-
plishments are over 200 articles
he has had published.

Clarion prepares for the annual Autumn Leaf Festival
by Laura Guido
News Writer
October 8 through IS is the
week of the annual Autumn Leaf
Festival. ALF is also the time of
year Clarion University cele-
brates it's Homecoming.
One of the highlights of the
week is the annual Autumn Leaf
parade. The theme for this year's
parade is "Autumn's Tapestry'.
Every year, all of Clarion's
Greek organizations pair up and
build floats. The University
Activities Board is responsible
for organizing the paper work
involved in the float building.
Letters are sent to each sorority
and fraternity to alert them of
meetings for each float chair. At
these meetings, representatives
receive regulations for the
parade.
UAB finds judges who vote on
each float during the parade and
also offers cash prizes for the
floats who receive top honors.
First place is $100, second
place is $75, and third is $50.
Homecoming week is when the
King and Queen are announced
along with the rest of the court
In order to become a member of
the court, the student must fill out
an application at the UAB office.
Once the application has been
submitted, a picture must be
included as well as a university
sponsor for each nominee.
For the past week voting sites
have been set up in Gemmell
Student Complex, Chandler
Dining Hall, and Carlson Library.
Voting is done on scan-tron
sheets which are then entered
into the computer to tabulate the
winners.
Each student votes for three
senior women and men and two
women and men from the other
classes. Nominees will be noti-
fied Friday if they have been
selected to be on the court.
This is only the second year
Clarion has crowned a
Homecoming King.
It was started because the stu-
dents involved in the Special
Events Committee felt that the
campus males had very little
involvement in the homecoming
festivities.
This year's king and queen will
be announced at the homecoming
bonfire/pep rally held on October
12 at 7:00pm in the Wilkinson
Hall field. Last year's king and
queen, Brian Hoover and Jen
Janoss, will return to crown this
year's winners.
Work study jobs explained
Courtesy of Financial Aid
Students visit the Office of
Financial Aid everyday looking
for jobs on campus. These on-
campus jobs are referred to by 9
out of 10 students, faculty, and
staff as work study positions.
According to Ken Grugel,
director of financial aid, there is a
major distinction between those
students who actually qualify for
the Federal College Work Study
Program and those assigned to
the state or commonwealth pay-
roll. Of the 850 students
assigned campus jobs last acade-
mic year, only 212 actually qual-
ified as work study students. The
aid office must follow stringent
federal rules in assigning work.
To be assigned to a work study
job, a student must be a US citi-
zen or permanent resident alien,
complete a FAFSA needs analy-
sis form and most importantly
demonstrate a federal need large
enough that after any state, feder-
al, or local grants or loans are
totaled, the student still has a
need to work.
The Federal College Work
Study Program was created in
1964 as part of the Economic
Opportunity Act under the lead-
ership of President Lyndon B.
Johnson. Through this program,
colleges and universities receive
federal funds to help their stu-
dents earn money for school
while they are enrolled. Thus
work and study were combined
to help finance college and edu-
cation.
Mr. Grugel notes that all stu-
dents, regardless of need, may
apply for on-campus employ-
ment. Current positions are post-
ed in the Financial Aid Office.
Have you stopped by the
Financial Aid Office lately?? Because
you may be eligible for aid!
It's not too late to apply for Pell Grants
and/or Stafford Loans for the 1995-96
academic school year.

Health center improves technology
by Matt Geesey
News Writer
A new change is being imple-
mented in the Keeling Health
Center's health care program by
the middle of October.
This change will help students
get a diagnosis quicker and stu-
dents may also be able to learn
from the program.
A new self-care clinic will be
set up and it will be supplement-
ed by information fed into a com-
puter by patients.
If the student using the comput-
er has never accessed it before,
the program will request his
name, address, and other vital
statistics.
The program will then inquire
what ailment you may be suffer-
ing from such as colds,
headaches, stomachaches, and
other illnesses.
From there you will be able to
take your own temperature, put a
band-aid on yourself, or whatev-
er else you can reasonably do for
yourself.
The computer is also pro-
grammed to inquire about vari-
ous symptoms the student might
have, so if additional help is
needed it can be provided.
W. Randy Rice, the new direc-
tor of the health center, feels that
this program will cut down the
amount of students who need to
wait for an appointment.

Blotter
The following is a brief synopsis of criminal investigations con-
ducted by Public Safety for the week of September 20 to
September 27. The Blotter is compiled by Clarion Call Public
Safety reporter, Dave DeStefano.
On September 20, a theft occurred at the Gemmell Snack Bar. Money
was taken after the snack bar was closed. The total amount of money
taken was $205, the investigation is continuing.
A female student from Wilkinson Hall reported harassing phone calls
during this week. The incident is under further investigation.
Officers responded to the report of a fight between two males on
September 21 . The fight was reported to have occurred in the area near
the Nair Hall basketball courts. When officers arrived, the individuals
involved in the incident had fled the scene.
A student from Becht Hall reported her vehicle being vandalized in
parking lot W, on September 21. The incident took place sometime
between Sunday at 1pm and Thursday. Unknown actors were throw-
ing rocks at her vehicle, a 1995 Ponuac, and left small dents on the left
side. Anyone with any information should notify Public Safety.
On September 22 while on patrol in the area of lot I and Wood St
officers observed a Chevrolet Blazer traveling east on Wood St. The
Blazer was traveling in the opposing lane of traffic, left of center.
Officers stopped the vehicle and the operator, identified as Albert M.
Blovner 26 of 128 Grand Ave., and placed him under arrest for driving
under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance.
On September 23 officers responded to Nair Hall lobby upon the

was using obscene language to Public Safety officers when he was told
to be quiet. The actor told the officer's that at the time he was stopped,
"this is [expletive deleted]" and for the officer's to do their "[expletive
deleted] jobs".

contact them.
On September 26, a juvenile student took nine dollars from his room
mate. The theft occured in Campbell Hall, and charges are pending.
Clarion harassment data
The following is a brief sum-
mary of the results of a sexual
harassment survey conducted
by the Presidential commission
on sexual harassment
•The sample group of 971
respondents closely matched the
descriptive characteristics of the
total undergraduate Clarion
University population, except
that males were somewhat under
represented and females over
represented (21% vs. 39% and
79% vs. 61% respectively).
•Student respondents clearly
recognized or strongly acknowl-
edged sexual harassment as all
but two of the 13 possible harass-
ing behaviors listed, being less
sure about repeated phone calls
and whistling/shouting types of
actions.
•As anticipated, women stu-
dents were more likely to identi-
fy all possible listed behaviors
constituting sexual harassment
than their male counterparts.
•Older students were more
likely to classify these possible
behaviors as sexual harassment
than younger students.
•About half of the student
respondents asserted that they
knew someone who had been
sexually harassed at Clarion and
28%, or 270 of the 958 answering
this question, said they had been
sexually harassed in some form
at Clarion University.
•Of the students who said they
had been harassed, verbal harass-
ment was only slightly more
prevalent than physical harass-
ment. And most of the harass-
ment was considered minimal or
moderate, not extreme.
Of the students who said they
had been harassed, about three-
fourths reported experiencing
unwanted sexual comments and
jokes; about half were subjected
to requests for sexual favors or
unwanted pinching/touching; and
slightly less than half experi-
enced offers of sexual favors or
unwanted cornering or unwanted
body language/actions or
unwanted pats on the butt.
A smaller number of respon-
dents, one-fourth to one-third,
experienced repeated verbal
abuse, repeated phone calls,
obscene phone calls, or people
whistling/shouting from cars.
The smallest number of respon-
dents, approximately 15%,
reported the most serious physi-
cal harassment, unwanted sex but
not rape, and being hit, shoved,
grabbed, or slapped.
•Regarding the type of harass-
ing individual, in about three-
fourths of the instances, students
were being primarily bothered by
other students, with teachers and
bosses coming in as distinct sec-
ondary harassers.
•Given the above findings, it
was not surprising to learn where
the harassment was occurring.
In rank order, the locales were:
social setting, residence hall
room, student apartment, frater-
nity house, classroom, work,
office, rehearsal, and sorority
house.
•Students were asked if they
told anyone about the harass-
ment, and if so, whom they told.
Approximatedly three-fourths
of those harassed did discuss the
incident. The discusssions usual-
ly happened with a close friend.
Much lower levels of reporting
occurred with faculty, RA's or
RD's, public safety officers, or
counselors than with friends.
Almost none of the victims
went to administrators, Panel of
Advisors members, or coaches.
•Very small numbers of stu-
dents reported being doubly jeop-
ardized by first being harassed,
reporting it, and then being retal-
iated against
This could be viewed as good
news, but could also reflect the
relatively small number of stu-
dents who reported the incidents
to anyone in an official capacity
who could have retaliated against
the complainants.
•Most students who did not
report the harassment indicated
that they failed to do so because
the harassment stopped.
Still, many victims apparently
did not report the harassment
because of fear or embarrass-
ment
•Students' knowledge of
Clarion University's sexual
harassment policy, reporting, and
support mechanisms was quite
low.
Only 20% knew of the Panel of
Advisors or how to complain
about sexual harassment
Only half of the student respon-
dents knew that the policy was in
their Student Calendar.
Workshops were held on this
topic.
Less than 10% of the students
reported going to such a work-
shop, but over 60% said they
would do so.
Public Safety celebrates safety awareness
by Sue Hartman

Clarion University offered sev-
eral activities during the week of
September 18 to promote Safety
Awareness Week.
The week kicked off with a
physical demonstration of an
escape from a confined space. A
short video was also shown.
Tuesday featured a demonstra-
tion of a building evacuation.
The fact was stressed that every
year there are 9,000 institutional
fires that result in physical injury
or death. The demonstration was
given by Dr. Ron Martinazzi,
director of Public Safety, and
gave information about possible
fire starters, fire equipment
usage, and building evacuation.
There was also a 17 minute film

Alcestis to open Theatre Season
Courtesy of
University Relations
A return to the roots of all west-
ern theatre will mark the begin-
ning of the 1995-96 Clarion
University Theatre season with
the staging of classic Greek
tragedy "Alcestis."
The play by Euripides will be
performed Oct.3-7 at 8 p.m. in
the Marwick-Boyd Little Theatre
with a school matinee scheduled
Oct.6 at noon. Tickets for the
production are $6 for adults and
$5 for students. For Clarion
University students with valid
identification cards, admission is
free.
"Euripides won second place in
a play writing contest in 438 B.C.
with 'Alcestis'," says Marilouise
Michel, assistant professor of
speech communication and the-
atre and director of production.
"We are using the translation by
Dudley Fitts and Robert
Fitzgerald, which while main-
taining the Greek structure does
not have stilted language. It is
poetic and accessible and the rea-
son this translation was select-
ed."
According to Michel, this will
be a nontradiuonai staging of a
Greek play because the charac-
ters will not all be masked and
the chorus will be entirely
female. Greek plays used only
men, even in the female roles.
"Alcestis" tells the story of
Alcestis, referred to as the loveli-
est of all Peliaf's daughters in
Homer's "Iliad". Her husband,
Ademtus, is destined to die and
through trickery involving his
friend, the god Apollo, he is
allowed to find someone else to
die in his place. However, he can
find no one willing to do so
except his wife, and is sorry that
she will have to go.
"This is a story about the
importance of life, how strong
the ties to life are, and the ultima-
tum of facing difficult choices,"
says Michel. "What do these
choices say about a person?
What Euripides is saying about
Greek men, the relationship
between men and women, and
the ways they react to each other
are timeless."
"Alcestis" is entered in the
American College Theatre
Festival XXVIII sponsored by
the Kennedy Center for the per-
forming arts. The play will be
viewed by adjudicators from a
region which includes Maryland,
Delaware, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, and
Washington, D.C. The adjudica-
tors will provide a verbal critique
of the performance to Michel and
the cast
A limited number of plays
viewed by the adjudicators will
be selected to be performed at a
regional festival in Buffalo, N.Y.,
in Jan. 1995. From the regional
level, another select group of
plays designated to be performed
at the Kennedy Center,
Washington, D.C, in April 1995.
Last year the Clarion University
production of "Closer Than
Ever" was selected for the perfor-
mance of scenes at the regional
festival.

Listen Up, Teen Smokers by Dave Barry
Barry is a Pulitzer Prize winner, and his colunm appears in
several hundred newspapers. Barry has written a number
of books, one of which was used for a CBS T.V. series.
As a ranking national opinion-
maker (currently in 1,539th
place, between Tony Danza and
Lamar Alexander), I would like
to do my part for President
Clinton's campaign to get teen-
agers to stop smoking cigarettes.
Ready? Here goes:
YOU TEEN-AGERS STOP
SMOKING CIGARETTES
RIGHT NOW!!
There! Did that do the trick?
I didn't think so. Your modem
teen-ager is not about to listen to
advice from an old person,
defined as "a person who remem-
bers when there was no Velcro."
I can understand this. I was a
young person once, shortly after
the polar ice caps retreated, and I
distinctly recall believing that
virtually all adults were clueless
goobers. Exhibit A was: their
hats. If you young people look at
photographs taken 35 or 40 years
ago, you will note that the adults,
no matter how nice the weather
is, are wearing major formal
headgear - for men, the serious
Mr. Businessman model, the kind
of hat that makes everybody who
puts one on, including Boy
George, look like the late Fred
MacMurry; for the women, all
kinds of comical, ottoman-sized
fashion contraptions, sometimes
festooned with enough artificial
fruits and vegetables to support
an artificial family of four.
We young people were not
inclined to take advice from peo-
ple who voluntarily looked like
that. So we tended to disregard
their rules, of which there were
many. For example, in those days
there was a rule that you
absolutely had to wait for one full
hour after eating before you
could go swimming, because oth-
erwise you would get a cramp
and drown. This rule was strictly
enforced by wristwatch-wearing
moms. Apparently there was a
required course in Mother School
wherein leading medical authori-
ties showed, with diagrams, that
if a person were to eat a single
saltine cracker, and then wait
only 59 minutes before going
into the water, this person would
instantly cramp up and drown,
even if the water were only ankle
deep.
Naturally we young people
broke this rule every chance we
got I will reveal here, for the first
time, that on one occasion, when
I was approximately 9, Neil
Thompson and I ate hot dogs
UNDERWATER. We survived,
and we realized, as most young
people, that we were invulnera-
ble.
Of course, grown-ups in those
days told us that we shouldn't
smoke. But it was hard to take
them seriously, since most of
THEM smoked. Also, cigarettes
were advertised on television, in
commercials that stressed the
amazing scientific advances that
had been incorporated into mod-
ern cigarettes. For example,
Parliament cigarettes had a com-
mercial wherein perky singers
informed the public that:
"Every Parliament gives you ...
EXTRA MARGIN!
The filter's recessed and made
to stay
A neat, clean, quarter-inch
away!"
Think of it! A recessed filter!
No WAY you could get cancer
from a cigarette like that!
My first cigarette was a Kent
"YOU TEEN-
AGERS STOP
SMOKING
CIGA-
RETTES
RIGHT
NOW!!"
-DAVE BARRY
(With the Micronite filter!
Whatever Micronite was!) Louie
Rolando save it to me one night
the summer I turned 15. Words
cannot describe how cool and
mature I felt, inhaling, then
exhaling, then - in a major dis-
play of mature coolness - lying
down in the dirt and reaching
until dawn.
That was my body's way of
telling me that it personally did
not care for cigarettes. But I did
not listen to my body: I was
determined to become a smoker.
My reasoning was the same then
as it is for teen-agers today:
ARGUMENTS AGAINST
SMOKING: It's a repulsive
addiction that slowly but surely
turns you into a gasping, gray-
skinned, tumor-ridden invalid,
hacking up brownish gobs of
toxic waste from your one
remaining lung.
ARGUMENTS FOR SMOK-
ING: Other teenagers are doing
it.
Case closed! Let's light up!
That's what I did, and I eventual-
ly reached a point where not only
could I tolerate cigarettes, but I
actually needed them so badly
that if I ran out of my own, late at
night in the newspaper office, I
would root around in the waste-
baskets and smoke stale, stink-
ing, spit-stained butts discarded
by people I didn't even like.
Of course you young smokers
starting out today have years to
go before you reach that level of
coolness and maturity.
Meanwhile, I'm sure you don't
want to hear any lectures from
the likes of me or President
Clinton. So I'm going to just shut
Up now. alrtwnoh T imaainp thp
president will keep pushing his
anti-teen-smoking crusade until
Congress passes another one of
those high-impact, can't miss
federal programs. Then he can
light up another one of his victo-
ry cigars. But don't worry: He
won't inhale.

"Alex and I went to Germany

Searle. "On Sept. 16, we decided
to go see the band perform when
Maryland played West Virginia at
College Park, MD. We talked to
the director, Dr. Richard Sparks,
who told us that more trumpet
players were needed for a com-
bined band for the parade. He
asked if we would like to be there
and bring some more band mem-
bers with us "

Band will be in Lock Haven for
an overnight stay on Oct. 6 and
will perform at half time of the
Clarion-Lock Haven game on
Oct 7. The band members will
leave after the game for
Baltimore and the parade for the
Pope.
"This is an opportunity for addi-
tional exposure for the marching
band," says Macomber. "I am
sure our students will represent
Clarion University quite well in
this large public venue."

the parade are: Alex Bracey,

by Ed Worgukt
and Dave Graham
Hello and welcome back once
again as Ed and Dave "Rock
Your World." As always, we
bring you the best in recordings,
what's going on in music, from
the national to the local level.
•BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE-
returns with a new L.P. entitled
"F-Punk". Tnis title may be refer-
ring to founder/leader Mick
Jones, known for his work in the
influential Punk outfit The Clash.
Jones, who is the lead vocalist
and guitarist, is joined by Nick
Hawkins on guitar and vocals,
Gary Stondage on bass guitar,
Chris Kavanagh on drums, for-
merly of Sigue Sigue Sputnik a
group more likely remembered
for their hair, not their music.
Rounding out the line-up are
London DJ. Mickey Custance
and Keyboardist Andre* Shapps.
The disc kicks off with "I
Turned Out A Punk", which
seems almost like an autobio-
graphical tune for Jones.
Lyrically this song could easily
fit on any vintage Clash album,
but musically, cheesy keyboards
remove any rough edges that
could have made this song a
Punk Rock Classic.
"Vitamin C" and" Psycho
Wing" continue in the same vein
as "I Turned Out A Punk" and
unfortunately the same over-use
of synthesizers seem to take the
bite out of the songs. The guitars
are buried in the mix, the bass
guitar is almost non-existant and
keyboards and electronic drums
dominate the mix.
"Push Those Blues Away"
works much better in the context
of the synthesizer-heavy mix.
This upbeat song comes in stark
contrast to the negativeness of
the previuos tracks and the cho-
rus will stick in your head long
after you hear this song.
"It's A Jungle Out There" is
simple I miss my girlfriend and
my heart is broken kind of song,
but "What About Love" is a
sneering look at the youth of
today. The "Generation X",
lifestyle seems to be one of mop-
ing and depression. Kurt Cobain
is mentioned in the lyrics as
being "Back in town with all
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call
Ed Wargula rocking your music world
much like "Push Those Blues
Away", the chorus of "Keep the
faith, Percy Faith", is an infec-
tious sing-along which is impos-
sible to get out of your head after
hearing it.
"Singapore" is a goofy little
song about what not to do when
you vacation there, such as don't
spray paint cars or spit your gum
on the sidewalk. Getting caught
breaking the law in Singapore
can literally be a real pain in the
but, the penalty for these offenses
is caning.
"I Can't Go On Like This" is a
life's dream."
This album has the potential to
grow on you, I didn't like it at
first, but the music does have a
good groove to it. Maybe when
Nicky Headon (of The Clash)
resolves his legal problems, last
Summer's aborted Clash reunion
will become reality and we can
once again see Mick Jones turn
out a punk.
In other music news, Clarion
FINALLY has a cool indepen-
dent record store. Music Mart is
located on Fifth Avenue. Music
Mart offers a large and very rea-
sonably-priced selection of new
and used C.D.s cassettes and
L.Ps. On my first visit there I
found some really cool Punk
Rock on vinyl, and the selection
of vinyl is astounding. I have not
seen that much vinyl in a record
store since the early 80's. For
those younger readers vinyl
means RECORDS, that's right
those big black discs that we lis-
tened to back in the dark ages,
meaning of course the 80's. If
you are a fan of vinyl, get down
there and check it out, you could
spend all day going through the
bins of records. Of course the
selection of CD's and Cassettes is
pretty good too.
So you no longer have to pay
the ridiculous prices of the big
record stores, support your local
independent record store,
because you never know what
you will find there. Check out the
dollar vinyl bin and buy some-
thing just because it has a cool
cover or the band has a cool
sounding name. You might get
turned on to a great group you
have never heard of, of course if
it sucks you're just out a buck.
It's like playing the lottery. -E.W.
•G LOVE & SPECIAL SAUCE-
"Coast to Coast Motel": G Love
is back with a second release, and
depending on how you look at it,
could be a step forward or a step
back. They definitely step back to
play some old style blues on this
one, but this can be considered a
step in a new direction for G
Love. Not that the Special Sauce
isn't familiar with blues. You
know this if you caught them on
their tour last winter, saw them
on the Horde festival this sum-
mer, or heard their debut self
titled release. G Love & Special
Sauce made a name for them-
selves mixing blues, jazz, and hip
hop, creating an original sound
for this three piece act. On "Coast
to Coast Motel," G Love explores
blues style singing and leaves the
rapping to a minimum of a cou-
ple of tracks. By doing this, I
think that they are losing part of
their originality that they had, but
this should not by any means stop
you from checking out this
album. It achieves being nostal-
gic and new at the same time.
The songs are more like jam ses-
sions than structured composi-
tions, which gives this album a

•VANESSA DAOU-"Zipless":
Vanessa Daou's newest release is
based on a collection of poetry by
Erica Jong balled "Becoming
Light." It was produced by her
husband Peter Daou, who also
plays all the music. Their music
mixes mellow jazz with soft
dance beats. Ad Vanessa's sensu-
al whispered lyric's and you have
a winning combination. The mix-
ture of soft music and bold poet-
ry makes for an unusual experi-
ence. The music wouldn't be
strong enough to stand on it's
own, but mixed with the ideas by
Erica Jong and the delivery by
Vanessa, makes this release
worth checking out.

Siama Pi bins Clarion University Greeks
Sigma Pi colonizes; gains recognition by Clarion University IFC
by Mary Beth Curry
News Editor
Having gained recognition
from the Clarion University
Greek society, Sigma Pi has
become the latest addition to
campus fraternities.
The men of Sigma Pi colonized
their membership on January
25,1995. This is the first step
toward becoming a national fra-
ternity.
"We are here to make friends,
not enemies," said Sigma Pi pres-
ident, Joseph Lemley.
"We want to get involved in the
Greek community, as well as the
Clarion community," he contin-
ued.
According to Lemley, he and
his friends could not find an orga-
nization to meet their collective
needs, so in an attempt to fill this
void, they formed Sigma Pi.
"When we founded Sigma Pi it
was not to compete with the cur-
rent fraternities on campus."
"Everyone has different needs
from a Greek organization and
our founding fathers decided that
their needs could best be filled by
beginning a new organization,"
Lemley explained.
The first step in the process of
beginning a new fraternity was to
find a national under which they
could colonize.
Representatives from many of
the national fraternities visit the
CU campus in an attempt to
begin a new chapter.
According to Lemley, this made
the first step relatively easy.
Sigma Pi International had been
looking to establish on campus
for quite a while, and they were
very interested in the group,
Lemley went on to say.
After the choice to colonize was
finalized, the "founding fathers"
(original members of a fraterni-
ty), began work on a constitution
and bylaws.
The only way to gain official
recognition by the university is to
gain Student Senate approval,
which can only be achieved by
having these documents
approved.
The process has not yet reached
Some of the brothers of Sigma
completion, but Lemley estimat-
ed that final approval would be
granted sometime within the
year.
Currently the group is recog-
nized under Interfratemity
Council and does participate in
activities within the Greek com-
munity.
These activities include; mixers

Interfratemity council meetings,
and new membership recruit-
ment. The current number of col-
legiate members is 27, but the
brothers currently are expanding
membership for the fall.
The jewel of Sigma Pi is the
emerald, and the flower is the
lavender orchid.
For those students who are unfamiliar with the greek community and some of the terms

ternity/sorority.

Sororities adop t
By Mike Haft
Greek Writer
The sororities of Clarion
University are adapting new
associate member education pro-
grams.
According to Diana Anderson,
Advisor to the Panhellenic
Council, the new programs are
designed to "...break away from
the old styles of hazing to a
newer more liberal form of edu-
cation."
The new practices are struc-
tured to make an associate mem-
ber feel that they are a part of a
sorority by participating in events
that include all of the sisters.
Active and new members learn
together what it means to be a
sister and take part in other
events that before only their asso-
ciate members were required to
do.
Three out of the ten sororities
on campus Alpha Sigma Tau,
Delta Phi Epsilon, and Zeta Tau
Alpha are not establishing new
pledge programs.
The new member educator for
ZTA said that, although they are
not participating with the new
guidlines, they have however
white, with gold as an auxiliary,
and they were founded nationally
in Vincennes, Indiana.
Lemley encouraged all men and
women interested in becoming a
part of the Clarion University
Greek community to look into
several organizations before
choosing one.
new programs
completely changed their pro-
gram for this semester.
Some of the other sororities
that have adopted policy changes
such as Delta Zeta and Theta Phi
Alpha feel that the programs are
for the best.
Kim Tobias, new member edu-
cator for Delta Zeta, said that
"...the paddling and other forms
of degredation that went on in the
past only let women feel that it is
right to be treated this way.
Furthermore, it is this type of
thinking is what leads to spouse
abuse, and unreported rapes."
All of the soroities have their
own way of letting the new mem-
bers who walk through the door
of their house know that they are
a part of that sorority and what
being a part of that sorority
means.

Pe gram gets first start:Morris benched
Will the real Pittsburgh Steelers please step forward?
by Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
Suddenly all the talk of the
Pittsburgh Steelers being Super
Bowl bound has halted. Why has
the talk halted you ask?
It's simple 12 turnovers doesn't
win you many games. Tomczak
and Miller together played like
Malone and Stoudt on their worst
days.
Just how bad do you miss Neil
O'Donnell right now? A lot of
people could be considered hip-
pocrates for their criticisms of
O'Donnell.
He's not the best quarterback in
the league, but he has led the
league the last two years-throw-
ing only nine last year, with four
of them coming in the Seattle
game.
O'Donnell has been missed
dearly, and the Steelers are hope-
ful that he can return next week
when the Steelers travel to
Jacksonville to play the Jaguars.
Tomczak has not answered the
call, and if any of you out there
think that Jim Miller is the
answer, then let me know where
you get your drugs.
Miller is basically a rookie and
has looked really shaky in his
performances. Miller has poten-
tial to improve, but he has gone
up against prevent and second
team defenses.
People always criticize
O'Donnell for his lack of mobili-
ty, but Miller is about as mobile
as Barney the dinosaur.
Tomczak has to get the job done
this week, or the Steelers need to
re-evaluate their back-up quarter-
back position.
He has been given all the
chances and has not performed.
Do any of you remember what
I said about Barry Foster last
year? The headline read: Trade
Foster and lose games. It looks
pretty accurate. Byron "Bam"
Morris has not done the job. He
was handed Fosters job when
Foster was traded, and what does
he do, he comes into camp over-

Coach Bill Cowher hasn't had too much to smile about
lately, and may even be a little lighter in the pockets.
weight.
Bench the bum. This just in,
Morris is benched this week, and
Erric Pegram gets his first start in
a Steelers uniform.
My suggestion, re-sign Barry
Foster. Yeah you heard me right,
Bring Foster Back. The Steelers
could sign him for the league
minimum, and he would help the
offense out tremendously.
Don't count on it. Tom
Donahoe would never want to
admit that he was wrong, and he
won't start now.
What happened to the tight end
position? Do the Steelers still
have one? I believe they do, and
a pretty good one in rookie Mark
Bruener.
Yes, losing Eric Green tremen-
dously hurt the tight end position,
but with an offense that has lived
and died with the tight end posi-
tion over the past years. To total-
ly abandon it makes me wonder
if Ron Erbardt 's time has passed.
Erhardt is so predictable, that
90% of all Steeler fans can
almost guess what plays he is
going to call. For example, third
down and seven, ball at midfield.
What do you think is coming?
I'm sure most of you said a
John L. Williams draw up the
middle. Will he get the first
down? Hell no, he'll get three or
four yards and the Steelers will
be forced to bring in Rohn Stark
and punt.
The offense has given Stark a
rest over the past weeks by turn-
ing the ball over, and thus the
Steeler defense is probably ready
to kill the offense because they
have constantly been on the field.
The defense is another interest-
ing topic to discuss. When is
Greg Lloyd going to do some-
thing besides jump offsides.
Where has Kevin Greene been?
Granted, losing Rod Woodson
takes a lot out of your sails, but if
you truly are a team that is
expected to possibly go to the
Super Bowl, then you must step
up and accept the challenge to
aadhere to the adversity-come
together as a team, and pick up
the slack.
Sometimes losing a player can
fire a whole team up, and the
Steelers should use the Woodson
Photo courtesy/Pittsburgh Steelers
Neil O'Donnell has been missed, and Steeler fans hope he
returns soon.
injury as a rallying point
The defensive line has played
well this year, and Brentson
Buckner is starting to realize the
potential the Steelers saw in him.
Hopefully the rest of the
defense plays better.
What about special teams? Is it
just me, or is it impossible for the
Steelers to return a kickoff past
the 25 yard line? Get Ernie Mills
off of the kick team, and put
Andre Hastings out there.
Hastings has done well on punt
returns, and would be a wel-
comed addition on the kickoff
team.
The coverage team has done
poorly, and last week David
Palmer exploited the Steelers and
made special teams coach Bobby
April look real bad.
The Steelers are a team strug-
gling right now, and cannot
afford to worry about special
teams problems.
What it all boils down to is this:
The Steelers Need A Win And
They Need It This Week.
They cannot afford to lose three
games in a row, especially
against San Diego. They owe
these guys one for the loss in the
AFC Championship game.
Plus, if the Steelers even want
to think about having any hopes
of home field advantage in the
playoffs, they must defeat the
Chargers this week.
A 2-3 record makes a lot of peo-
ple ask questions, and a lot of
people, including some of the
players, become doubters.
If you look at AFC team statis-
tics, the Steelers, minus all the
turnovers, look pretty good.
This year the Steelers have 13
interceptions. The next closest is
the New York Jets with 8.
The league lead in fumbles is 9,
while the Steelers have 7.
An interesting point is penal-
ties. The Steelers have 7 more
penalties than anyone in the NFL.
By looking at these statistics,
it's not hard to figure out why the
Steelers have struggled this far.
Is Barry Foster on his way back?
Stamm leads the way
CC team continues improvement
by Terry John
Sports Writer
Once again the cross country
teams improved from the previ-
ous week. This time it was at the
Slippery Rock University
Invitational on Saturday.
Once again, the women were
led by their fabulous freshmen.
Christine Stamm, running her
first college race, led the ladies
with a time of 20:11.
She finished in fifth place over-
all.
Brigette Laflin and Roxanne
Wilson, Clarion's other fresh-
men, finished 6th and 7th respec-
tively.
"Our top 3 finishers were all
freshman," said head coach Pat
Mooney.
"Chris was our runner of the
week," he added.
Rounding out the women's top
20 finishers were Lisa Benlock
(15th), Bobbie Manross (16th),
and Cherie Zurko (18th).
Lynn Baluh also contributed
with a time of 22:46, good for
21st place overall.
As a team, the women finished
2nd out of the three team field.
Slippery Rock, a perennial
NCAA power, easily finished
first, exactly 6 minutes ahead of
the Golden Eagles. Duquesne
was a distant third place finisher.
The men, competing in a field
of only two teams, finished 2nd
behind Slippery Rock.
For the third consecutive week,
the men were led by Brad
Alderton and Tom Brady.
Alderton completed the 5.1 mile
course in exactly 29 minutes, 5th
place overall.
Brady finished in 8th place with
a time of 29: 15.
Scott Reffner came in third for
the Golden Eagles, 11th overall,
with a time of 29:52.
The surprise of the day was
Mike Cox.
"Mike was our runner of the
week, as he was our 4th runner.
It was his first college race,
although he did run track last
spring," said coach Mooney.
Mike finished 16th overall with
a personal time of 30:42.
TJ Wellington (30:50), Carl
Leonard (31:03), and John
Sporer (31:12) finished 17th,
18th, and 19th respectively.
"We are trying to peak for
October 7th, which is the
Dickinson College Invitational,"
Mooney stated.
Netters notch first win
by John Sarver
Sports Writer
The Clarion Women's tennis
team notched their first win of
the year this past week.
After a long, disappointing road
trip against some top-notch com-
petition, Clarion bounced back to
defeat IUP 4-3.
The women were led by
Melody Dess. She contributed
two wins during the match.
Playing at #1 singles Mel won 6-
1,6-4.
Then, teamed with Amy O'neal
at #1 doubles, Dess won again 8-
4.
Kristen Golia and Sarah
Unkefer won their singles match-
es as well.
Kristen breezed to a 6-4, 6-3
victory, while Sarah came from
behind to win 1-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Mimi Williams continued her hot
play by winning 6-3, 6-3.
Over the weekend things
weren't quite as smooth for the
Golden Eagle Ladies.
They lost a three match road trip
against Shippensburg,
Bloomsburg, and West Chester.
One of the bright spots was once
again Mimi Williams, who won
two singles matches and recorded
two doubles wins with Sarah
Unkefer.
Williams has been piling up
wins for the Eagles.
As stated last week, Williams
had the best match record on the
team last year, and she is looking
to repeat that feat this year.
Brooke Drayer also contributed
a victory over West Chester dur-
ing the weekend.
Says senior Dess, "This week-
end we played well, but not con-
sistent... against IUP we finally
played consistently at a higher
level, and it paid off."
The women play against
Edinboro on Wednesday, and
then have a big match against Pitt
on Oct. 3.
So come out and support the
women in a big Division I
matchup.
Coach Acker and the team hope
to get things turned around and
still salvage a successful tennis
season this year.

Golden Eagles face 13th ranked Millersville
by Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
This Saturday at Memorial
Stadium, the Golden Eagles take
on the 13th ranked Millersville
Marauders.
The game is being billed as the
top game in the NCAA Division
II East Region.
Both teams bring 3-0 records
into the game as well as high
powered offenses.
Millersville is led by head
coach Dr. Gene Carpenter, who
has compiled an impressive 170-
72-5 record in 25 years at
Millersville.
"Millersville is a complete foot-
ball team," analyzed Clarion
head coach Malen Luke.
"Their defense is ranked #1 in
the PSAC and really controls the
line of scrimmage. They have a
great front seven. They also have
an explosive offense that can
score from anywhere on the field.
They have the top rated quarter-
back in the country (Greg
Moylan), a Harlon Hill candidate
in wideout Kevin Cannon and an
outstanding running back in
Gerald Mack," Luke added.
"We will have to be at our best
and play a mistake free game to
win on Saturday. It is a great
opportunity for our football team
to take a step forward and we
look forward to that challenge,"
Luke added.
Millersville leads the series
between the two schools 4-3.
Last year, Millersville defeated
the Golden Eagles 40-27 in a
game that featured 954 yards of
total offense.
Clarion posted 485 yards of
offense and Millersville 469.
That was the first meeting
between the two schools since
1977, when Clarion topped the
Marauders 25-24 on a last second
Bill May field goal to win the
PSAC title.
Clarion is averaging 38 points
and 474 yards of offense per
game to lead the PSAC.
The Eagles are getting 272
rushing yards and 202 passing
yards per game.
The Golden Eagle defense has
only given up 12 points and 249
yards of offense per game.
Opponents are gaining 52 rush-
ing yards and 197 passing yards
per game.
Millersville's offense leads the
PSAC in scoring at 39.3 points
per game and is second in total
offense at 473.7 yards per game.
The Marauders are getting 210
rushing yards and 264 passing
yards per game.
The Marauder defense has put
up some great numbers in its first
three games.
Opponents have scored only 10
points in 3 games (3.3ppg) and
are getting only 112.3 yards of
total offense.
The Marauders are allowing
only 28 yards rushing and 84
yards through the air per game.
This will be quite an interesting
game as the high powered
Golden Eagle offense will face
its first test.
Also, the Golden Eagle defense
will have to come through big
time in order to secure a Golden
Eagle victory.
Kickoff is set for 2:00 p.m. at
memorial stadium. Clarion
opens its PSAC West schedule at
Lock Haven next Saturday at
7:30 p.m.
Millersville has won 8 PSAC
titles under Carpenter including
1977, 79 80, 81, 88, 89, 90 and
93.
The Golden Eagles return home
on Saturday, October 14th
against Shippensburg which is
the annual homecoming game on
ALF weekend.

Sports Trivia Question
When was the last time
the Cleveland Indians won
the pennant?
Also, what famous play
occurred the last time the
Indians made it to the
World Series?
Answer to the previous weeks question:
Bam Morris attended Texas Tech University.
Conley and Betters step up
Spikers continue improvement
by Amy Mortimer
Sports Writer
On Thursday September 21,
the lady Golden Eagle volleyball
team flew into Colorado to face
Southern Colorado.
Southern Colorado dominated
at first 7-15, and 10-15, but
Clarion fought back 15-12.
Although they played a good
game, they were overcome and
defeated 16-18 in the fourth set.
Senior Jenny Betters had 18
digs and 12 kills.
Freshman Mindy Conley had
103 attempt* and 33 assists.
"Ive played four seasons at
Clarion, came back and was an
assistant coach for three years,
and I have never seen a Clarion
team play better than that,"
coach Jody Bums commented
about the Southern Colorado
match.
"For me it was a personal high
because although we lost, they
played intensely for four .games
and showed a lot of character,"
Bums added.
The team attended a tournament
at Colorado Christian last Friday
and Saturday.
They played against four teams.
Grand Canyon, Colorado
Christian, West Texas A&M and
the University of Denver.
The team lost to Grand Canyon
1-15, 9-15, andl2-15.
Freshman Ellie Keeney had 6
digs, Betters led with 4 kills, and
Conley had 58 attempts and 2
asssists.
The spikers set up a win against
Colorado Christian 17-15, but
CCU came back to defeat Clarion
and win the set 12-15, 5-15, and
11-15.
Conley changed gears with 19
digs along with 105 attempts and
4 assists.
Freshman Mandy Kirby had 11
digs and 8 kills. Senior Nicole
Flambard had 13 digs and 7 kills.
Betters once again led with 13
kills.
West Texas A&M swept the
spikers 0-3. The scores were 3-
15, 4-15, and 0-15. Conley once
again lead with 65 attempts and
10 assists.
Betters had 8 digs and
Flambard had 4 kills.
The spikers were defeated by
the University of Denver in 3
games 9-15, 6-15, and 3-15.
Freshman Tracy Barnett
showed herself upfront with 6
kills. Maria Buckley had five
digs. Conley had 12 digs, while
Buckley contributed 23 attempts.
"We're not tired, we will come
back and start beating these
teams," stated Burns.
With a tough group of freshmen,
and the entire team rested, coach
Bums feels everything should
really start to click.
Tracy Barnett has become the
best percentage hitter for the
team as of now.
"Out of every time she touched
the ball, I think I only saw them
return it once," Bums added.
"Even though Jenny (Betters)
and Nicole (Flambard), our two
seniors are our workhorses, they
get set more often so it's tougher
for them to get a higher percent-
age, but at the same time, Tracy
gets less chances but more kills,"
Bums commented.
The team travels to Mercyhurst
this Thursday. The next home
match is Friday October 6th.

What hap pened fn tndavs plavers?
Was Williams in 1941 the best ever?
9
by Nathan Kahl
Guest Columnist
A portion of the material in this
article was taken from Ed Linn's
book Hitter .
Thanks to that wonderful crea-
ture labor relations, we were left
with a shortened baseball season
this year.
Of course that renders chases of
single season records meaning-
less, but we have time to reflect
on past seasons like 1941.
1941 was one of the best single
seasons ever, and quite possibly
the year of the best single season
a player ever had. That player
was Ted Williams.
Joe Dimaggio of course hit in
56 straight games and won the
MVP award over Williams 291-
254.
Remarkably, the day after
Dimaggio's streak ended, he
went on a 16 game tear and in the
course of those streaks the
Yankees won 44 of 52 games at
one point.
Joltin Joe also struck out only
13 times.
Let's look at Williams statistics.
Williams hit .406 in '41, the last
player to break the .400barrier.
A .400 average has been
attained 11 times in baseball his-
tory by six different players, and
Williams .406 ranks seventh
behind Rogers Hornsby's .424 in
1924, George Sisler's .420 in
1922, Ty Cobb's .420 and .410 in
1911 and 1912 respectively, Joe
Jackson's .400 in 1911, and
Sisler's .407 in 1920.
But, what isn't taken into
account here is the changing sac-
rifice fly rule.
By 1941, the rule was that a
player would be granted an RBI
if a run scored, but also charged
the batter with an at-bat for a sac-
rifice fly.
Williams had six sacrifice flies
in '41, which would have added
6 points to his average making it
.412; which would have been the
twelfth highest average of all
time.
Also, take in account the great
advancements in fielding, equip-
ment, and gloves since the days
of Dimaggio and Williams.
In the 1920's the gloves were
still very primitive, and several
base hits were falling in and get-
ting through that wouldn't have
in 1941.
This makes his average that
much more impressive set
against a historical background.
His average was also 140 points
above the league average.
Williams on base percentage
was a mind boggling .551, but
not much weight was given to it
at the time because it wasn't even
an official statistic until 1984.
Let's look at another new sta-
tistic, total baseball, also known
as production or pro for short.
This category shows effective
power hitting and hitting for
average by combining slugging
percentage and on base percent-
age.
In 1941 Williams' pro was
1.286 (OBA .551-SLG .735) eas-
ily the highest of any of the .400
hitters.
Dimaggio, "Mr. Baseball", was
much more popular with the
media and the fans in 1941(and
as his career went on Williams
would fall farther and farther
down the Q rating charts) which
was one reason why Dimaggio
was named MVP.
But, to look at Williams' season
again, one must wonder if it was-
n't the best ever, let alone the best
for the 1941 season.
— The best on base percent-
age in baseball history.
— The best PRO of any .400
hitter.

Instead of holding out, they went

Barry Foster and other thoug hts
The one year wonder and the one year of frustration
by Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
As the NFL is now in full
swing, my deepest sympathies go
out to the countries most famous
(or infamous) unemployed citi-
zen. Yes, you really got to feel
for this guy. He worked his tail
off for a business one year and
when he asked for a raise, the Big
Bad corporation kicked him out
of town.
Even worse yet, when a new
generation embraced him with
open arms, they even turned their
back of this "hard working"
employee and claimed his work
ethic wasn't up to their expansion
standards.
Have you guessed who I'm
grieving for? Yes Barry Foster
has to be sitting at home wonder-
ing, "Why doesn't anyone like
mer
I"ll tell you why Barry. You
have your organizational goals
mixed up (my professors are
going to love me for using these
big words).
When a NFL team drafts you,
they want a championship.
They're not obligated to secure
you financially until you've
proven your worthy. Barry,
you're a one year wonder (1192-
1600+ yards rushing).
You haven't proved your worth
yet. Once you win a champi-
onship, not a AFC Central cham-
pionship, or do it consistently,
then you can re-negotiate.
Now I don't know how much
Barry made in 1992, but I know
it's much more than a lot of
deserving backs made. Mr.
Foster should have known that in
Pittsburgh, the money just isn't
growing from trees or flowing
out of the fountain at the Point.
The next chapter for the Foster-
opera just shows you what kind
of personality Barry possesses.
With a chip on his shoulder, Mr.
Foster signed a big contract with
the expansion Panthers.
Many believe this was a smooth
move on the part of Carolina
Steeler fans just figured, "Hey,
he's getting the money, maybe
he'll play hard."
This would be too easy for
Foster to do. Instead of trying to
change his image, he came into
Panther camp with his nose stuck
in the air and his preseason work
ethic stuck somewhere else.
It reminded me of a senior who
failed and came back to the high
school football all cocky and
highbrow. The result of his
image campaign? He was cut
before the preseason ended.
Barry is (was) a strong, physi-
cally, and talented back; that you
can't argue. What is very
arguable is the heart this man
possesses.
Does Barry play for the love of
football, or does all he see in the
end zone are stacks of cash?
Maybe Barry should be asking
himself that while he's bagging
groceries instead of bagging
touchdowns.
You wouldn't normally associ-
ate college football with those
self-centered, law breaking
goons in the NFL, but with the
recent developments of the
Nebraska Cornhuskers you
wouldn't be able to know the dif-
ference. I know you Penn State
fans out there are loving these
days!
At first, I applauded Coach Tom
Osborne's decision to suspend
tailback Lawrence Phillips on his
assault charges. I believe he was
setting a good example for col-
lege football. Now Coach
Osborne is possibly changing his
mind on the suspension, and now
there's a good chance he will let
Phillips play by the end of the
year.
His logic for "changing" his
mind was that he feared that
Lawrence would "hurt himself."
Coach Osborne, Phillips already
hurt himself when he decided to
start assaulting his girlfriend.
Whether he is guilty of the
assault or not, Phillip's actions
should not be overlooked.
Remember, be represents the uni-
versity as well, as do the other
Huskers who are currently in
legal problems, one charged with
attempted murder.
This is a big morality test for
Coach Osborne. This decision
will have a big impact on clean
running college programs and
how they deal with problems
when they arise.
What does he sacrifice, wins or
a disrespectful stigma attached to
the program? If he chooses the
latter, years down the road
Nebraska may be the next Miami.

The Clarion Call
Plans for new president's home underway
By Laura Guido
News Writer
Last November, the
Pennsylvania State System of
Higher Education (SSHE)
announced plans for the
building of a new presidential
residence for Clarion
University.
Moore Hall, current
presidents home, is located in a
building that formerly was
used as classroom space.
The building now serves as a
home and office. In addition,
Moore Hall serves other
functions such as a place for
meetings, seminars, and
presidential hosted functions.
The current hall is not
equipped to serve these
functions properly, therefore
making a new presidents home
a necessity.
Funding for the project will
not be funded through Clarion
University.
Mr. Ron Wilshire, Executive
Director of Clarion University
Relations, said "under the policy
of the State System Board of
Governor's effective July 1,
1993, construction of president's
residences are funded through
state system reserve funds."
A panel was formed to
investigate options and
possibilities for the residence.
The panel consisted of two
members of the Board of
Governors, two members of the
Council of Trustees, and the
Chancellor of SSHE, James
McCormick.
The panel conducted a design
competition between three
architects. The competition came
to end Thursday, September 21
in Harrisburg, when the panel
met.
A preference was given to one
architect and changes were
suggested to improve the quality
of the design. The architect was
asked to review the changes and

Moore Hall currently serves as the home of Dr. Reinhard as well as housing offices.
report back to the panel. No final
decision will be made until the
changes are reviewed.
The deciding verdict will be
made by the Board of
Governors. No official date has
been given as to the completion
of the plans.
A decision could possibly
happen as early as October 10 at
the next Board of Governor's
meeting.
Mixture of emotions fill the courtroom
The verdict of the century: Not guilty
Courtesy of
Associated Press
"We the jury... find the
defendant, Orenthal James
Simpson, not guilty of the
crime of murder."
The trial of the century has
come to a close. O.J. Simpson
was acquitted of double-
murder charges Tuesday,
October 3.
While Simpson celebrated
his victory with a party inside
his estate, outside his Los
Angeles home several hundred
people chanted "guilty, guilty,
guilty."
Here is O.J. Simpson's
statement, which was read
by Jason, his son, at
yesterday's courtroom news
conference:
"I'm relieved that this part of
the incredible nightmare that
occurred on June 12, 1994, is
over. My first obligation is to my
young children, who will be
raised the way that Nicole and I
had always planned. My second
obligation is to my family and to
those friends who never wavered
in their support.
"But when things have settled
a bit, I will pursue as my primary
goal in life the killer or killers
who slaughtered Nicole and Mr.
Goldman. They are out there
somewhere. Whatever it takes to
identify them and bring them in,
I will provide somehow.
"I can only hope that someday,
despite every prejudicial thing
that has been said about me
publicly, both in and out of the
courtroom, people will come to
understand and believe that I
would not, could not and did not
kill anyone."
After the verdict was
announced to the courtroom,
Simpson mouthed the words
"thank you" to the jury who set
him free.
Simpson's family and friends
let out cheers of joy, while
families of Ronald Goldman and
Nicole Brown Simpson silently
wept. Simpson will now begin
the lengthy process of rebuilding
his life.
Simpson cannot be retried for
the crimes, but he could be
forced to testify in civil suits
brought by the families of
Goldman and Nicole Brown
Simpson.
A legal battle may also be in
store for Simpson to get
custody of his children from
Brown's parents.
Recent polls taken after the
not guilty verdict showed
most citizens disagreed with
the verdict, but split along
racial lines.
Costs for the nine month
trial are approximated at $8.3
million spent by the
prosecution and at least $10
million spent by Simpson.

I thought it would be interesting
to tell the dreaded interview story
to all the students out there who
are planning on being inter-
viewed by a professional some
day.
Most everyone has already had
jobs where you have been inter-
viewed at some level, but most of
us haven't actually gone through
the interview that puts us in high
competition against other quali-
fied candidates.
Last semester 1 was searching
for an internship and decided to
send my resume to Ketchum
Communications in Pittsburgh
for a Public Relations position. I
sent out my resume with a cover
letter and writing samples.
I felt confident that I had a good
chance, since I had worked at
Career Services for four years
and have seen dozens of resumes
from helping other students.
I did receive a phone call with-
in a week after I sent out my
resume and set up an interview
over Easter Break. I knew I had
to be well prepared for the inter-
view, so I even set up a mock
interview at Career Services and
made sure I knew what types of
questions to ask during the inter-
view. I went to the library to do
research and found out how large
they really were.
They were published in numer-
ous magazines and newspapers,
the most prominent being the
New York Tunes . I bought a nice
suit and leather folder to carry
my resumes and reference letters
in and made arrangements with a
friend who knows his way
around Pittsburgh a little better
than I did. I definitely did my
homework for this one.
On the day of the interview, I
arrived ten minutes early and
actually talked to the two recep-
tionists about one of Ketchum' s
clients.
My interviewer, greeted me
with a firm handshake and
walked me back to her office. I
felt very comfortable and knew
this wasn't going to be difficult
after all. She asked me if I had
brought a copy of my resume and
I pulled one swiftly out of my
folder.
She then proceeded to read over
my resume for such a long time,
that I started to feel a very
uncomfortable silence in the
room. I felt like she had never
seen my resume before and I
found it to be slightly disturbing.
When she finally lifted her
head, she leaned back in her chair
with a sigh and asked me to
describe to her what I thought
public relations meant.
I answered her with less than a
text book definition, because I
felt that she was not looking for
me to spill out some regurgitated
information I had gotten from my
dry text books. Her phone rang
when I was in mid sentence and I
just smiled as she took the call. I
collected my thoughts as she was
talking and waited patiently.
She hung up the phone, yawned
and took a drink of her coffee.
She apologized for being tired
and for the phone interruption. I
said I understood.
She took another deep breath
and said, "well let me tell you
what Public Relations really is so
you can go back and tell your
professors." I listened to her
explain every department as if
she was reading me a brochure
and tried to decide how to react
to the comment about my profes-
sors, whom I feel I have gotten a
decent education from.
She then asked me what expe-
rience I felt I had. (I knew I had
very little, but never let *em see
you sweat, right?)
I tried to relate some of what I
have done in organizations.
Because I was a public relations
chairman in one of the organiza-
tions, I told her I had wrote arti-
cles and sent out reports about

how our organization was viewed
on campus. I mentioned bow I
highlighted some of the volunteer
work we have done.
I then expanded on the thought
by telling her how I felt I work
well with others, having a staff of
ten students and have held
numerous executive board posi-
tions in over five different orga-
nizations. I basically told her I
enjoy working with others.
She responded by telling me
that what I had just said was
management experience, not
public relations and that she
doesn't like dealing with people.
(Doesn't like people! How could
she be the Vice President of
Public Relations then?) I didn't
quite know what to say.
Before I could think twice, she
asked me about my hometown,
which is Leeper. I told her Leeper
is a very small town outside of
Clarion.
I asked her if she knew where
Clarion was located and she said
yes, smirked and asked me if
Leeper was an Amish town. I
think at this point my eyes nearly
popped out of their sockets and I
said with a slight bit of sarcasm
"no, I don't recall having any
Amish neighbors."
By this point I was no longer
nervous, I was confused as to
what to say and how to react to
these comments I was being
thrown. She never asked me any-
thing about what I had on my
resume, instead she asked me if I
had any questions.
I took full advantage of this
opportunity to ask her who I
would be working with, what
projects I would be working on,
if I would get much time on a
computer and if I would be work-
ing with other interns.
She answered my questions
very vaguely. I still felt as
though I didn't know what to
expect (Was she doing this on
purpose to see if I'd crack under
pressure?)
She then took me on a tour of
the building and we returned to
her office. She handed me a five
part examination that I had to
take as part of the interviewing
process.
Two parts were to be done on
the spot and the other three parts
were take home. The parts I took
in her office were word associa-
tion, sentence and grammar tests.
When I felt I had answered the
questions to the best of my abili-
ty, I handed her the test. I was so
ready to leave, but instead of get-
ting a handshake and a goodbye,
she opened my test and looked
over it while I was there. She
looked at me and half laughed as
she said, you mean you don't
know who Edward Bernays is?
My mind was blank as I said
"I'm sure I should."
She told me he was the founder
of public relations (something I
will never forget for as long I
live.) I tried to brush it off while
she got up and walked me out.
For the longest time after I exit-
ed the office, I tried to under-
stand what went wrong. I didn't
know if I should just give up on
the idea of being hired or send in
the rest of the exam. I decided to
spend long hours during finals
week to complete the final three
parts and hope for the best
I had mixed feelings about
working for an agency that
employed people with such
"great" personalities.
You would think the Vice
President of public relations
would want to uphold a positive
image for the company. I thought
that was part of public relations.
Obviously, I was wrong.
I found out later that Ketchum
ended up hiring three students all
of which were sons and daugh-
ters of their top clients. I should
have known.
What I learned from this expe-
rience was that working for a
larger company might not be the
best decision. I ended up having
the best internship this summer at
the Clarion News and I know I
learned a lot more than I would
have at a bigger company.
Plus, I know I like advertising a
lot more than I would public rela-
tions.
My advice to everyone would
be don't always apply to the larg-
er companies, because in the end
you might acquire more experi-
ence at a smaller one.

READER RESPONSES
V
Bashing Greeks without signing a letter is less than human
Dear Editor,
I was greatly disturbed by the
letter entitled, "Snot nosed
Greeks are above education" in
last week's edition of The Call .
This is obviously a person who
has never been involved with or
even associated with members of
our Greek life.
I am currently a member of Phi
Delta Theta and would like to
take the opportunity to defend
my brothers.
Fust anybody that takes a few
minutes to bash on Greeks
without signing a letter is less
than a human being.
The first thing we are taught as
Greeks is to be respectful of a
person's opinions and proud of
your own.
Maybe, had this person joined
or given Greek life a chance,
they would have signed their
letter.
I also find it
hard to believe
that some
stranger would
have the
audacity to tell
me that I buy
my friends.
I didn't buy
into my
friendships with
my brothers, I
bought into a
way of life. A
fraternity is a
group of friends
first and
foremost, but it
is also a
business and a
business needs
to make money to run.
I have found a group of friends
that I like,
joined
together by
the bonds
of a
fraternity, I
support the
fraternity.
I would
remind
whoever
wrote this
piece of
piffle, that
Clarion is
not just
about
education,
it is also
about
developing
social
skills.
You cannot come away from
this place a bigger human being
if you wave your finger at those
around you and dismiss them
because they are different than
you.
Fraternities, whether good or
bad, help as much as they harm.
They make shy people bold,
teach respect and
communication, they lend a hand
to the social atmosphere of a
campus, and they support
charitable organizations, which
is more than "I hate Greeks" will
ever think about doing.
Until I hear from someone that
has anything remotely intelligent
to say about why they think
Greek life is bad, I am now, and
will be forever, proud to be a
Phi.
Thank You,
Kenneth Andrew Servey

I New freshmen General Education requirements are meaningless
Dear Editor:
I am a student here, and have
been following the coverage of
Clarion University's revised
General Education requirements
as published in your
newspaper— two "Hide Park"
essays and, last week, a front
page article detailing some of the
changes in this program.
I would like to point out how
meaningless this set of
requirements is as presently
prescribed.
I think everyone would be
happy to define this general
education component as "a fixed
and standard set of concepts,
skills, and information which all
educated persons should master."
So far we're fine; this is a
worthy goal, the implied result
of which would be the formation
of an intellectual "common
ground," at least for all those
who attended Clarion University.
The trouble is, this core doesn't
do that. Not by a long shot
We are required to take a fixed
number of "quantitative
reasoning" credits, for example,
and are then given a cafeteria-
style menu of courses from
which to choose.
Should I take Algebra?
Calculus? Finite mathematics?
For God's sake, how about
symbolic logic? These are quite
different disciplines.
If I fulfill my "quantitative
reasoning" requirement by
taking algebra, and a fellow
student fulfills hers by taking a
calculus course, have we really
both mastered "a fixed and
standard set of concepts...?"
Of course not To suggest that
this student and I have an
intellectual common ground is
absurd.
Further, how do I know which
course I should take? How can I
make a rational choice between
calculus and algebra in the first
place?
I cannot — unless, of course,
I've already taken the general
education core, which
presumably informs me of what
the "fixed and standard" ideas
are.
The solution to this would be
to prescribe a truly fixed and
rigid set of courses: Thou shalt
take algebra and geometry, thou
shalt take a two-semester survey
of the history of Western
civilization. There are, of
course, problems with this
approach: What courses would
go into such a sequence, and
who would decide what was
included?
To choose for inclusion by
definition means to choose for
exclusion as well: Would you
include the history of Europe or
the history of Africa? Both?
Neither? By what criteria have
you made this choice?
This would get very messy,
and any ultimate decisions
would probably be made by the
Administration, which, let's face
it is fairly good at making sure
that the heating bills are paid and
that professors have enough
paper and pens, but not much
else.
Should, then, the idea of a
general education core be
abandoned? Probably not:
There still is a need for a set of
standards about what an
educated person should know.
I'm just saying that at present
there is no satisfactory solution
to defining, let alone prescribing,
what that should be, and we
shouldn't be deluded into
thinking that the present system
in any way works towards that. !
Sincerely,
Timothy A. Lee

Joining a Greek organization should not be considered buying friends
Dear Editor, archives.) When Greeks "narade" around around vmi "firppW" *rt* nivmnirs thp Ampriran q p
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to the
letter entitled "Snot nosed
Greeks are above an education."
As a member of the Greek
system at Clarion University I
take offense to that type of
rhetoric and obvious ignorance.
The fust thing that I would like
to mention is that th e Call d oes
have a quality publication, and
for your information, the Greek
page is nothing new.
(You may want to take a
glance at past Call p ublications
from the Clarion University
archives.)
When one decides to join a
Greek organization, yes, there is
a certain financial obligation, but
this should not be considered
"buying friends."
There are several organizations
which collect dues. Does this
mean that anyone who joins an
organization which collects dues
is someone who has to "buy"
their friends?
Also, aren't the majority of us
who come to Clarion University
here to receive an education? I
know that I am!
When Greeks "parade" around
on campus they are not wearing
letters in hopes of attaining some
twisted admiration associated
with alcoholic beverages.
Most Greeks wear their letters
out of pride for their
organization.
Fraternities and sororities were
not founded on the basis to
"party", but with intent to aid in
the development of its members
in all aspects of life.
Before going out and accepting
a negative opinion toward Greek
organizations, take a good look
around you. "Greeks" are
involved with numerous
activities on and off campus.
You can find Greeks in our
Student Senate, in residence
halls working as R.A.'s, in
leadership positions in various
campus activities, and on staff at
TJie_£all.
Greeks generally participate in
the Leadership Development
Series held each semester in
Gemmell.
Off campus, Greeks participate
in numerous philanthropic
activities such as the Special
Olympics, the American Red
Cross, the Muscular Dystrophy
Association, the Adopt-A-School
Program, and several other
outstanding charities.
On a final note, ALWAYS
think before you speak, and if
you truly believe in what you
have to say, have the courage to
stand up to it!
Sincerely,
"PROUD TO BE GREEK"

Colin Powell says rappers should keep in mind how their music

Rappers "should see if we can upgrade and uplift it a little bit,"

As for the musical genre itself, Powell said: "It's not an artistry

Letters to
the Editor Cont
My Greek sisters helped me through rough times
Dear Editor,
This is in response to "Snot
nosed Greeks are above an
education" appearing in the
September 28, 1995 edition of
The Clarion Call. I would like to
take the chance to tell you what
the Greek system has done for
me. I pledged Theta Phi Alpha
my first semester of my
sophomore year. I had plenty of
friends outside the Greek system,
but I felt very much at home
with the girls in my sorority.
Last year I was kicked out of the
dorms because of an accidental
fire. I had nowhere to live and I
thought I would have to
withdraw from Clarion. My
sisters pulled together and with
no questions asked, they
prepared a room for me to live in
at the sorority house. They
realized that I would have little
money because of paying for
damages, so no rent money was
asked for. Even with their
support I became very depressed
and quit eating. I soon became
sick and was taken to the
hospital. My sisters sat and
cheered me up while I was
recuperating when no one else
seemed to care. The sisters have
been there for me through many
problems that have occurred
during the pursuit of my
education. Yes, I too, a Greek,
am here for an education in both
the academic sense and in the
social sense. I feel by becoming
a Greek I have become more
suited for life because I learned
how to be a social person. This
too is an important part of
college. Greeks are not snot
nosed brats with attitudes. If
given the chance you too may
find yourself involved in a great
system on campus.
Sincerely,
Renee Bartlett

I have one word to say to you: Ignorance
Dear Editor,
In response to "Snot nosed
Greeks are above an education",
I would just like to say one
word- IGNORANCE. As far as
wearing our "million dollar
jackets" and "being admired for
drinking and buying our
friends", I personally am proud
to say I'm part of an
organization that volunteers for
Special Olympics, collects
money for various charities and
fund-raisers for the S. June
Smith Center. I am Greek and it
does not mean that I drink. Have
you ever bothered to find out
what our dues go to?? Or do you
just always assume that we are
rich and buy our friends, because
that way we know they're 'good
enough' for our standards. To "I
hate Greeks", I would just like to
say that I don't have time to sit
and degrade others for their good
work or beliefs. I have to study-
but if you feel the urge to bash
all the 681+ Greeks on this
95 percent of community service is
Dear Editor
This letter is in response to the
letter written by "I Hate Greeks".
First off, I am incensed that an
unsigned letter was printed.
Please notice on page three of
the September 28th Call that you
clearly specified that all letters
must be signed! Now, for an
"intelligent" rebuttal. I served in
the United States Navy for four
years. I formed an unbreakable
bond with those I served with.
Upon my Honorable Discharge, I
worked for two years, putting in
over 70 hours a week so that my
parents did not have to help me
through college. I arrived at
Clarion University in the fall of
1994. I myself was wary of
fraternity life. The only idea that
I had of fraternity was provided
to me via Hollywood. I
completed my first semester with
a 3.214.
When I came back for the
following semester, I had no idea
for what was in store for me.
Three weeks into the semester, I
became an RA at Ballentine
Hall. One week later, I rushed
Phi Delta Theta. Needless to
say, my schedule became
extremely busy. I finished this
past semester with a 3.66, as a
brother. As for "buying my
friends" I have only one thing to
say. It costs money to run any
type of organization and if there
were not so many lawsuit-
hungry people (somehow, I see
you as one) around, our
insurance would not cost $4,000
a year.
Now I wish to address the
"Greek page is the last thing you
need with all the issues currently
facing our campus." I guess you
did not know that 95% of all
community service that is done
by Clarion Students is done by
"Snot nosed Greeks!" And
furthermore, our philanthropy's
have helped countless millions
across America. I bet you did not
know that there are Greeks all
around you!
Let me run down the list of
Greeks that you might recognize:
Benjamin Harrison, 23rd
President of the United States
(1889-93), Adlai Stevenson,
Vice president (1893-97),
Senator Sam Nunn, Senator
campus, maybe you should
spend more of your time
studying.
I'm glad that the Call has
recognized the Greeks on this
campus for the good that they
do, and if you don't like it, don't
read it. To "I hate Greeks",
Ignorance is so sad it's pathetic.
Sincerely,
Melissa M. Martin

Riemer Snack Bar has respond-

Coolio and Under Pressure set to perform at CU
by Amy O'Keefe
News Writer
The University Activities Board
concert committee recently
announced its fall conceit for the
1995-96 academic year.
Coolio, a rapper, and their
opening act, Under Pressure, will
arrive in Clarion on October 26
for an 8pm show in Tippen gym-
nasium.
The board was committed to
finding an R&B or rap group to
perform this year.
Jamie Bero-Johnson, advisor to
the UAB, said that "UAB is com-
mitted to diversity." Coolio was
to the committee the most logical
choice. The rapper, as of the
moment has a number one hit off
the "Dangerous Minds" sound-
track, as well as the number one
video on MTV.
Bero-Johnson said, "because of
bis new CD and rise in populari-
ty, he seemed to be a logical
choice."
The concert committee met
with an agent and a date was set.
Following that a contract was
signed. The deal was completed
many reasons. She expanded by
saying that the band had limited
dates on which they could per-
form, and that they were more
interested playing at bigger out of
state universities.

"I had a solid background in
business and music, and found
that I could keep up and even
contribute to the New York music
scene. I am grateful for the
opportunity to experience this
internship," he added.
McGee was the 1995 recipient
of the NAMBI scholarship,
which is awarded by the National
Association of Music Merchants
to promising students in a music
related major.
The internship counts toward
his music marketing degree.
Rowan, a junior, was the stu-
dent representative to the
Two Clarion University of
Pennsylvania music marketing
majors, Brian McGee of
Leechburg and Brian Rowan of
Brookville, expanded their pro-
fessional perspective during the
past summer by working in the
music industry.
Music marketing prepares stu-
dents for many areas in the indus-
try, from recording to retailing.
Dr. Lisa Johnson, associate pro-
fessor of music, is the program
advisor.
Clarion is one of 13 colleges
nationwide who participate in the
National Association of Music
Merchants (NAMM) educational
program.
McGee completed a six-week
internship in New York City at
ECM Records, the international
classical division of BMG
Records.
His supervisor says McGee's
"excellent musical background"
helped him with his "exemplary"
work. McGee worked in the pro-
motional area, including adver-
tising, customer relations, and
general marketing.
He also attended and provided
information at recording sessions
and staff meetings.
"My courses at Clarion really
prepared me well for this intern- Brian McGee and Brian Rowan
NAMM annual trade show and
conference in Nashville, TN, dur-
ing July.
He attended presentations on
new aspects of the music indus-
try, tested new products, and
made valuable connections with-
in the industry.
"When I graduate from Clarion
next year, I will have an excellent
head start in the music business,"
says Rowan. "I have already
been offered two jobs and I'm
making connections now in the
field," he continued.
He was a co-winner of the
Scholarship in 1994.

Lessons learned from Simpson trial
The media has largely portrayed the O.J. Simpson trial as an aberration of American justice.
Seemingly endless pundits have warned Americans not to learn anything from this trial because it is
not reflective of the way things normally work. Dr. Stanton W. Green, Dean of the CoUege of Arts
and Sciences, would like to offer a different view. If we can back off from its spectacle, the O J.
Simpson trial holds many lessons about our justice system and society. Indeed, the exaggerated
nature of the trial only serves to underline a variety of issues from which we can learn.
Lesson one: The American system of justice is based on several profound principles that protect indi-
vidual rights: 1) a defendant is innocent until proven guilty; 2) this judgment is made by a judge or a jury
of one's peers, as decided by the defendant; 3) a defendant is entitled to face his or her accusers, and 4)
defendants cannot be forced to testify against themselves. The celebrity of this trial boldly demonstrated
these talents. The two marked examples were; O.J. Simpson's choice not to testify and Mark Fuhrman's
choice to assert his fifth amendment rights. Whatever your view of these decisions, think of the danger to
our democracy of taking these from defendants or witnesses. Think of the perils of removing any of these
principles.
Lesson two: American justice is proportional to one's socio-economic class. The seemingly endless
resources of the defense team surely demonstrates how money and social position can buy legal privilege.
Could Jane or Joe Doe have mounted such and extensive counter to the prosecution's exhaustive case? The
answer is obvious. %
Lesson three: Domestic violence is a severe problem that cuts across class boundaries. OJ. Simpson s
record of wife beating cannot be forgotten. It illustrates how the brutality of domestic violence is not lim-
ited to any particular segment of American society.
Lesson four: Racial division and racism are alive and well in America. Detective Fuhrman's racist atti-
tudes and actions as a police officer must not be taken as an abnormality but as a serious symptom of racism
in America. Although we must be careful of applying guilt by association to the other detectives on the case,
we also have to explain how this behavior could have been tolerated during Fuhrman's career and during the
prosecution of the trial by both the police force and the prosecution team. Just as Detective Fuhrman is a
symptom of racism, so is the fact that people took sides on this trial largely on the basis of race. The
announcement of the verdict was cheered or booed as if it were a football score. Anecdotal TV and radio
reports and systematic polls indicate a largely racial divide as to beliefs of innocence and guilt. Most white
Americans think he is guilty, most black Americans think he is innocent. These symptoms of the social dis-
ease of racism need to be calls to action. The challenge to our community and to our nation is to acknowl-
edge that we have the disease, (continued on page 8)

CU student teachers participate in Keystone Integrated Project
Courtesty of University

Beginning this school year,
four Clarion University of
Pennsylvania faculty members,
six teachers from Clarion
Elementary School, and four
Clarion University student teach-
ers are involved in a pilot site
project
Clarion University and the
Clarion Elementary School are
partners in the three-year
Keystone Integrated Project,
sponsored by the Pennsylvania
Department of Education.
The project participants are
developing model integrated lan-
guage arts, social studies and arts
curriculum for grades three
through seven, backed by a
Keystone budget of $12,000 and
$7,050 of in-kind support from
Clarion University.
'The federal money comes
from the America 2000 pro-
gram," explained Dr. Barbara
Grugel one of the participating
Clarion University faculty mem-
bers.
"We are proud to be a part of
the project. Pennsylvania was
one of only eight states selected
to participate and only 11 school
districts statewide were picked
after applications were made."
Grugel and fellow faculty
members Dr. Saundra McKee,
Dr. Anne Creany, and Dr. Sylvia
Stalker are joining Clarion
Elementary School teachers
Phyllis Morrow, Nancy Keen,
Karen Allaman, Paula Wetzel,
and Dave Constantino, along
with principal Suellen Gourley in
the project.
Preparation for the participants
started last spring with a series of
local meetings.
During the summer, all of the
people involved from the 11 des-
ignated partnerships attended a
week of training in the Poconos.
They heard presentations about
integrating assessment units, arts,
and technology into their curricu-
lum.
They also wrote a sample inte-
grated units.
"We were taught how to do out-
comes, goal writing, and action
planning," says McKee.
"They were reviewed by the
statewide committee. Also, dur-
ing that week, Clarion University
and Clarion Elementary were
paired with Temple University
and Bache-Martin School of
Philadelphia."
Clarion Elementary and Bach-
Martin plan to connect their stu-
dents through written correspon-
dence and via a lap-top computer
and modem provided by the
Keystone Project.
Units already written at Clarion
and a list of background literature
were sent to the Philadelphia
school.
"It will be interesting for us to
be paired with an urban-intercity
school," says Grugel.
"We have provided them with
copies of units we have written
and lists of our background liter-
ature."

(SECA) campaign at CU.
Dr. Reinhard hosted the kickoff
for the campaign. The goal, rep-
resenting a 3% increase for 1994,
was announced by campaign co-
chair Linda Hawkins, assistant to
the president. Last year Clarion
had 279 employees participate
and donate $27,237 to support a
wide variety of agencies provid-
ing community services.
"Volunteerism is a part of
Clarion University," said
Reinhard. "This campaign
allows our employees to provide
support to community, national,
state, and local programs.
"Hawkins thanked all campaign
volunteers for attending the kick-
off. "SECA provides employees
with an opportunity to take care
of all their charitable giving at
one time," says Hawkins.
"Employees may designate their
contributions to any non-profit
organization of their choice.'

Biology professor aids in the fight for a better environment
Courtesy of University
Relations
Dr. Terry Morrow, professor of
biology at Clarion University of
Pennsylvania, was a participant
at the recent Appalachian Clean
Streams Initiative (ACSI)
Community Roundtable in Scott.
The roundtable was held in con-
junction with the visit of the US
Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt
to the area.
Babbitt is touring environmen-
tal projects to urge public support
for preserving existing clean-air,
clean-water, and endangered-
species protection.
During his stop in Pittsburgh he
toured an acid mine drainage
(AMD) pollution site where
Scrubgrass Run enters Chartiers
Creek.
Here, a cleanup project con-
ceived as part of the curriculum
at Chartiers Valley High School
has become a continuing effort.
The tour of the site was fol-
lowed by the roundtable.
Besides Morrow and Secretary
Babbitt, the other roundtable par-
ticipants were Lisa Trainor, a
Chartiers Valley High School
teacher involved with the
Scrubgrass project; Mark Kilar, a
coordinator of the Western
Pennsylvania Coalition for
Abandoned Mine Reclamation;
Jill Rosati, a Chartiers Valley
High School student.
Also included were; Rev. Tom
Cummins, member of the Scott
Conservancy; and Bob Uram,
Office of Surface Mining direc-
tor.
Morrow represented Clarion
University, Trout Unlimited, and
the Mill Creek Coalition on the
panel. He described the progress
of the Mill Creek Coalition, a
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call
Biology professor Dr. Terry
Morrow.
grassroots organization which is
successfully treating acid mine
drainage and restoring Mill
Creek in Clarion and Jefferson
Counties.
He also addressed the con-
straints which exist that can pre-
vent these types of projects from
working.
An avid lifetime sportsman and
fisherman, Morrow has served as
either an officer or director of the
Iron Furnace Chapter of Trout
Unlimited for 20 years.
In October, he will become the
co-chair of the Environmental
Committee for Pennsylvania
Trout, the state council within
National Trout Unlimited.
He is the Iron Furnace
Chapter's representative to the
Mill Creek Coalition.
Over the last five years,
Morrow directed the water chem-
istry monitoring associated with
the activities of the Coalition and
has collaborated with the U.S.
Bureau of Mines in studies on
passive treatment of acid mine
drainage.
During this time, 12 Clarion
University students were
involved with the monitoring of
the effects of the restoration
effort.
Mill Creek, a 60 square mile
watershed, is impacted by over
50 years of mining.
The Coalition's efforts, starting
in 1991, have resulted in signifi-
cant improvement of water quali-
ty in the watershed.
As evidence of the success, last
spring the Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission stocked a sec-
tion of Mill Creek which had not
been stocked in over 20 years.
Because of these efforts, the
Coalition has received many
awards and the Mill Creek
Coalition is used by National
Trout Unlimited and other agen-
cies as an example of a success-
ful grassroots effort in the
restoration of cold water fish-
eries.
The Coalition's goal is to
restore the entire Mill Creek
Watershed by the year 2000.
Formed in 1990, the Mill Creek
Coalition of Clarion and
Jefferson Counties has served as
an example for treating AMD in a
watershed at local, regional,
national, and international meet-
ings.
Some of the current Coalition
members are the Iron Furnace
Chapter of Trout Unlimited,
Seneca Rocks Audubon, the
Clarion County League of
Women Voters, the Clarion and
Jefferson Counties Federation of
Sportsmen's Clubs, and the Soil
Conservation Districts of Clarion
and Jefferson Counties.

The total amount of funds distributed from the supplemental fund
was $820.
Changes implemented to the Riemer Snack Bar were also mentioned
during reports from standing committees (see page 5).
Announcements were made as to dates of upcoming events on cam-

so that we can find a cure for it.
Class, gender, and race play complex and prominent roles in
American society. Again the celebrity of this case underlines this.
Simpson was able to cross class and race boundaries through his sports
success. Some people have even described this as his ability to erase
racial lines and that no more is this demonstrated than his marriage to
a white woman. We can and indeed must learn from the ironies of this
observation. The first irony is that OJ. Simpson's ability to cross
racial boundaries only serves to illustrate how wide and deep they are.
The second is that the "trial of the century" was really a reflection of
everyday life in America.

Clarion Student Recording Native American Traditions
Courtesy of University —
Relations
Native American Jackie Croyle
is learning about others and her
own roots during an ongoing
videotaping project featuring
interviews with and the activities
of Native Americans.
Croyle, a sophomore history
major at CUP, is serving as a con-
sultant on a project "American
Indians: Past & Present, Issues
and Conflicts," financed by a
$5,000 Clarion University
Faculty Professional
Development Grant. A Seneca,
she is the president of CUP's
Native American Student Tribal
Council (NASTC).
The Faculty Professional
Development Grant was received
by Dr. Sandra McKee, associate
professor of education; Dr.
Barbara Grugel, assistant profes-
sor of education; Dr. Larry
Dennis, professor of English; and
Dr. Beverly Smaby, assistant pro-
fessor of history.
"This multidisciplinary project
was proposed to enable CUP fac-
ulty to increase their knowledge
and ability to teach about Native
American cultures and to teach
Native American children," says
McKee. "The project includes
visits and symposiums at the
Native American populations in
that area
"Clarion has established stu-
dent teaching centers near
Salamanca, N.Y. Our faculty will
be visiting this area too, because
we want our students to be better
prepared to teach Native
American youth. They need
good and accurate knowledge
about the diversity of these peo-
ple."
The grant will also help to bring
speakers to campus, such as
Seneca Nation President Dennis
Bowen, and enhance the avail-
able materials for teaching about
Native Americans. Materials to
be purchased include tribal cul-
ture kits, films, audio tapes, CD
ROMS, and print materials.
Faculty are given priority for
participation in this project, but
selected students, such as Croyle,
are participating in specific
aspects. Dr. Glenn Rock, advi-
sor to NASTC, recommended
Croyle, who became the liaison
between the Native Americans
and CUP. She made two trips to
the Seneca Reservation in
Salamanca, interviewing Dennis
Bowen and videotaping a pow-
wow including Native Americans
dancers from as far away as
Mexico.
"It is a real honor to be in this
position," says Croyle. "This has
been a very enlightening project
for me. It generalizes where
Native Americans are today.
They remain a sovereign nation
working autonomously with the
federal and state governments
and the education systems.
"I had a one hour appointment
with Dennis Bowen, but he spent
almost three hours with me
speaking about the conflict
between traditional and non-tra-
ditional Native Americans and all
the aspects of and the history of
the Seneca Nation. He sees many
Native Americans enter college
but not finished, and fears the
learned helplessness of the reser-
vation.
"I feel this will open up a
broader path of communication
between Clarion University and
the Senecas. There is the possi-
bility of a seminar between
Native American teachers and
Clarion students concerning tech-
niques and books that can be
used to teach Native American
children."
Croyle's project continues
thorough the end of the fall
semester. Part of her plans are to
videotape the tribal elders on the
Cattarragus and Allegheny reser-
vations relating tribal history in
their own language, to be trans-
lated later for general use.
"It will benefit Clarion to have
these videos in their archives,"
says Croyle. "Helping break
stereotypes is very important and
that is part of my personal agen-
da."

"Rodent Revolt" by Dave Barry Ed and Dave "Rock Your World"
Once again we are forced to ask
ourselves, as a society, whether
nature should be legal. Consider
a story from the June 22
Manchester (N.H.) Union
Leader, written by Paul Tracy
and sent in by alert reader Amie
Alpert. This story states that, on
June 20, a Laconia, N.H., police
officer was called to the munici-
pal water-treatment facility in
response to — and as you read
this column, please bear in mind
that I am not making ANY of
these newspaper quotations up —
"a report of a suspicious-acting
woodchuck that would not let
any people out of the building."
The officer sized up the situation
and, according to the story,
"determined that the animal
needed to be euthanized and tried
to run it over with his cruiser."
So far, so good. Law-enforce-
ment experts will tell you, after
they have had a few belts, that in
a situation where a member of
the marmot family is holding
people hostage in a sewage plant
(in police radio code, this is
known as a "10-6"), the textbook
response is to drive a police car
over the alleged perpetrator, then,
if necessary, advise it of its
rights.
Unfortunately, things did not go
exactly according to plan. The
story quotes a plant employee as
saying: "When he (the officer)
got out after running over it (the
woodchuck), I think he thought it
was dead, then the thing sprung
up and attacked him."
At this point the officer — and if
you have never been attacked by
a woodchuck. then do not sec-
ond-guess this decision — pulled
his 9mm pistol and commenced
firing.
"We think he emptied a clip, "
a plant employee is quoted as
saying, "but we could only find
eight casings on the pavement."
The story states that during the
battle, the officer, seeking to
escape the woodchuck, "jumped
up on the cruiser and injured his
knee." Fortunately, before any-
body else could be hurt, the
woodchuck went to that Big
Burrow in the Sky.
I wish I could tell you that this
was an isolated incident. I wish I
could look you in the eyeball and
say, "This was just one lone dis-
gruntled woodchuck, possibly a
former postal employee, who for-
tunately will never again terror-
ize humanity, thanks to a quick-
acting police officer, who fortu-
nately was not carrying nuclear
weapons."
But I cannot say that. For one
thing, I lack the lung capacity.
For another thing, I have here an
article from June 28 Gaithersburg
(MD.) Gazette, written by April
E.. Fulton and sent in by several
alert readers, which states: "Nine
residents of the South Village
area of Montgomery Village —
two adults and seven children —
were playing near Docena Court
on the morning of June IS when
they suddenly were charged by a
band of about a dozen squirrels."
The article quotes one of the
women— who was bitten on the
foot — as saying: "We were just
playing in the yard, like we do
every day, and suddenly, out of
nowhere, about 12 squirrels start-
ed charging us, making these
high-pitched, shrill noises." A
neighbor is quoted as saying:
"The squirrels that day went
crazy."
The article states that on June
21, a representative of the
Maryland Department of Natural
Resources inspected the area and
"found no abnormal behavior
from the squirrels."
Of course not. They may be
squirrels, but they are not stupid.
They're not about to go after a
government official, not after
what happened to the wood-

The story states that "two elec-
trocuted squirrels fell form a
power line Thursday morning,
their flaming bodies igniting a
small grass fire near Tarkio." A
fire official is quoted as saying
that it could have been a male
and a female squirrel engaged in
tiny cigarettes and planning their
next attack. They will stop at
nothing, as we can see from the
following headline from a Sept.
2, 1994, front-page article in the
Missoula (Mont.) Missoulian,
written by Michael Downs and
sent in by many alert readers:
FLAMING SQUIRRELS
IGNITE FIRE
c
an act of "burning passion." (The
fire official does NOT point out
that both "Rodent Passion" and
"Flaming Squirrels" would be
excellent names for rock bands;
this was probably just an over-
sight.)
At this point you're saying:
"Dave, you have presented ample
journalistic evidence here to
prove that the animal kingdom is
attempting, for whatever reason,
to wipe out the entire human
race. But at least the members of
the news media are safe!"
I wish I could agree, but tragi-
cally I cannot — not in light of a
June 21 Associated Press item
from Kennewick, Wash., sent by
several alert readers, which
begins: "A TV reporter's hair gel
apparently attracted a swarm of
bees that stung him more than
30 times yesterday." The
reporter was doing a story about
beekeeping when the attack
occurred; the story states that the
beekeeper, in an effort to help,
covered the reporter's head with
a protective hood, but unfortu-
nately the hood "also turned out
to contain bees."
I am sure that you, as a person
concerned about the First
Amendment, have the same reac-
tion to this story as I did, namely:
How come this never happens,
on-camera, to MY local TV
reporters? Until we get solid
answers to this and many other
questions raised by this column
(such as: "Why would anybody
print this column?"), I am urging
everyone to avoid all contact
with nature in any form, includ-
ing vegetables. Speaking of
which, you should also write
your congressperson.

Faced with rapidly stiffening
opposition, an AIDS awareness
advertisement has been pulled
from Brazilian television just
days after it started. The ad,
which features a man in a bar
talking with his penis, known as
Braulio, promotes the use of con-
doms. "If you come out you're
going to have to wear a condom,:
the man tells his pants. "OK, you

responds, "but get the condom
quickly because there's a gor-

Much of the opposition to the ad
came from people named
Braulio. The name was chosen
after a survey found it a common
Brazilian nickname for the male
organ. Anastacio, Bimbo ("too
childish"), Mauro, Petronio ("too
long"), Oscar and Tonhao, were
also considered. Brazil's health
minister Adib Jatene defended
the $5 million ad campaign as
"daring and aggressive", and
necessary to help combat the fact
that Brazil has the greatest inci-
dence of AIDS in Latin America.
He says the ads will reappear
after a new nickname is chosen.
(Reuter, AP) ... Be macho,
Minister Jatene: change his name
to "Adib".
DESPERATE CRIMINAL:
Nancy Stein brought William,
her four-year-old grandson, to
New York's Central Park for an
outing when the lad announced "I
have to go." Right now, that is.
With no toilet facilities nearby,
William made use of a nearby
bush. But even before he was fin-
ished, two Parks Commission
security guards ticketed Stein for
the "deposit of a noxious liquid"
— complete with a $50 fine. "I
appealed the fine through several
city departments, but it wasn't in
and dismissed the ticket. "It was
a rookie officer " who "acted in
haste," the commissioner
explained. (AP) ... So did
William, but he had a good
excuse.
PUFFED RICE: A new wed-
ding dress was unveiled at a
bridal fair in England last week, a
white one designed for pregnant
brides. "Being unmarried and
pregnant is no longer a taboo,"
says designer Jennie Andrews.
"It is only fair that pregnant
brides should have a beautiful
dress. After all, they are bloom-
ing." The gown, which will retail
for about $775, is the first tradi-
tional maternity wedding dress
on the market. Andrews said.
(Reuter) ... it's a fine idea, but
advertising "traditional" and
"maternity" wedding dress
together seems like such a Calvin
Klein thing to do.

ahd Dave Graham
Foo Fighters make their debut
with their self-titled album. If
you think that these guys sound a
lot like Nirvana, it may be
because the band is led by former
Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl.
Grohl is joined by former Germs
guitarist Pat Smear, who played
guitar on Nirvana's "In Utero"
tour and on the "MTV's
Unplugged Album." Dave Grohl
is NOT the drummer, but rather
the guitarist/singer in this Pop-
Punk foursome.
The album kicks off with "This
Is A Call," which is a catchy sing-
along song with strong vocal
melodies. "This Is A Call" is the
first single from the album and
has received constant airplay.
The lyrics, "This is a call to all
my past resignations" may be an
indicator that Dave Grohl is
ready to put Nirvana in the past
and look ahead to the future.
The second song on the album,
"I'll Stick Around," is receiving
heavy rotation on both radio and
MTV. The ghosts of Nirvana con-
tinue to haunt Grohl in this song,
too. The Cobain-like chorus of "I
don't owe you anything," may be
another indicator of his desire to
let go of the past and leave
behind the circus-like atmos-
phere that surrounded Nirvana.
The song has a Nirvana-like fla-
vor to it, and it may be a while
before you read anything about
the Foo Fighters that doesn't
mention Nirvana.
Grohl does pay tribute to anoth-
er one of his influences, Steve
Albini, founder of the Noise-
Rock band Big Black on two
songs, "Weenie Beenie" and
"Wattershed." These songs are a
stark departure from the bouncy
Pop-Punk that the rest of the
album consists of. Noisy and rau-
cous, these two songs may have
the trendoids who want to hear
"the good songs" scrambling for
the skip button on the CD player.
Other outstanding tracks on the
album are "Floaty" which has a
flavor that many Garage-Rock
wannabes can only dream of
finding. "X-Static" features a
guest lead guitar from the Afghan
Whigs Greg Dulli, and "Good
Grief rocks along quite well too.
In conclusion, this album will
grow on you and as the obvious
comparisons to Grohl's former
band Nirvana are apparent, it is
my opinion that Foo Fighters can
stand on thier own. In other relat-
ed news Cobain's
widow.Courtney Love, has
accused Dave Grohl of stealing
some of her dead husband's song
writing ideas. If this is indeed
true there is of course no way of
proving it, though some of the
songs on the album do sound a
lot like Nirvana, but Grohl was a
member of Nirvana for three
years and I feel that he did not
steal, but was just heavily influ-
enced by Kurt Cobain's work.
Fugazi, one of the most original
bands in the world of music
today, played in Pittsburgh
Friday night at the Metropol. For
those who aren't familiar, the
D.C. based Fugazi have been
making original music since the
80's and haven't sold out to the
standard moves of corporate
rock. They don't make videos,
they don't promote themselves,
they don't sell t-shirts at their
shows, and yes folks, they have
done what Pearl Jam cannot
seem to figure out. They don't
sell their tickets through Ticket
Master, and all their shows are
only $5.00 (The show I saw on
Friday had a service charge of 25
cents, but who's complaining?).
Not only do they manage to do
this, but they also manage to sell
out the Metropol with no radio
or TV airplay.
They began their show with an
energetic rendition of "Smallpox
Champion" from their release "In
On the Killtaker." The show sur-
prisingly contained a lot of songs
from old releases including such
classics as "Repeater," "Long
Division," and by far the biggest
crowd pleaser "Waiting Room."
They also played songs from
their latest release "Red
Medicine," which came out this
summer. Some highlights from
these songs were "Long Distance
Runner," "Forensic Scene," "Do
You Like Me," and "By You"
which is sung by their bass play-
er, Joe Lally. Guy Picciotto and
Ian Mackaye delivered the rest of
the vocals and guitar work with
passion and energy. Brendan
Canty was on drums.
Fugazi uses a lot of experimen-
tal guitar work on their albums
and it was amazing and interest-
ing to see them reproduce it live.
They manipulate every part of
their guitar to make sounds that
other bands couldn't dream of
making. One draw back of the
sold out show was the fact that it
was sold out. Unless you got
there early it was hard to see the
show and enjoy it.
Outside after the show Ian and
Guy signed autographs and
talked to the fans despite the kind
Pittsburgh police who harassed
everyone to leave. Ian talked to
everyone with respect and
showed a true interest in what his
fans had to say. He said they
would be back soon. So whether
it's live or on CD, check out
Fugazi, the only band that refus-
es to sell out.
T\irn Off the Violence in Clarion

Turn Off the Violence on
October 12! For too many peo-
ple, violence is an ordinary way
to be entertained, settle argu-
ments or blow off emotional
steam. By age 18, our children
have spent more time in front of
the TV than in the classroom and
have witnessed 200,000 acts of
violence, including 18,000 simu-
lated murders. On October 12,
we're asking people to turn off
violent TV programs, not to lis-
ten to violent music, not to go to
violent movies and not to rent
violent videos. Instead, choose
nonviolent ways to solve prob-
lems and choose to do something
fun. Celebrating a day of nonvi-
olence give individuals and com-
munities an opportunity to reaf-
firm positive, healthy attitudes
and actions and take a positive
step for change.
Turn Off the Violence began in
Minnesota in 1991 as a coalition
of law enforcement, educators,
social service providers and indi-
viduals working together to edu-
cate people about violence, to
encourage them to make choices
in their lives. Choices that can
help reduce violence. In 1993,
the Minnesota Citizens Council
on Crime and Justice adopted
Turn Off the Violence as one of
its programs, providing the
expertise of an established not for
profit. This year, Turn Off the
Violence is collaborating again
with the National Crime
Prevention Council to launch a
full-scale national campaign
reaching millions of people.
On the local level, SAFE, Inc.
and The Rape Crisis Center, Inc.
are working together to bring this
national day of non-violence to
people's attention. Both SAFE
and the Rape Crisis Center see
the devastating effects of a vio-
lent culture daily as they provide
help and support to the victims of
domestic violence and sexual
assault. Sadly, there is no area or
population which does not feel
the pain and sorrow connected
with violence. The hope of
SAFE and the Rape Crisis Center
is to help people become increas- ^ m
ingly aware of the amount of vio- -
lence they see each day and to I
stop accepting it as the norm of I
society. Information on ways to.
recognize and avoid violence are I
available by calling SAFE at|
226-7233 or the Rape Crisis
Center at 226-7273.

New members educated
Sorority Hazing concerns addressed at workshop
by Kevin Miko
Circulation Manager
Sororities are an important part
of many women's lives here at
Clarion University.
This week Panhellenic and
Interfraternity Council sponsored
their Anti-Hazing Workshop.
The purpose of this meeting was
to discuss; what is hazing, what
are your rights, how will this per-
tain to you as an "active" or "ini-
tiated" member, and why does
hazing go against everything the
Greek system stands for?
The anti-hazing workshop was
developed because the University
and the council felt a need to edu-
cate the Greeks at Clarion
University.
Since the spring of 1988, all
new members of CU sororities
have participated in this work-
shop.
The workshop emphasizes cer-
tain Greek principles such as; sis-
terhood, service, truth, scholar-
ship, knowledge, friendship, loy-
alty, trust, and leadership.
In 1987 an anti-hazing law,
ACT 175 was enacted in the
state of Pennsylvania. The state
law says, "an organization and
it's members are engaged in haz-
ing if it engages in any activity,
for purposes of initiation or con-
tinuing membership, which reck-
lessly or intentionally endangers
the physical ar mental health of a
student." *
According to Debbie Shaw
Conner of Auburn University,
"Many women do not recognize
hazing for what it is primarily
because they do not usually par-
ticipate in the physical hazing the
men may do."
"Women usually engage in
mental aspects of hazing, if they
engage in any hazing at all.
Mental hazing can actually be
more harmful than the physical,
for physical hazing can usually
heal".
Unfortunately many students
are killed each year as a result of
hazing.
As of right now, 40 states have
enacted anti-hazing laws similar
to Pennsylvania's ACT 175.
Mixing without boozing
by Kirsten McKinley, Greek Writer
It is a common misconception that alcohol is needed to be present in
order for sororities and fraternities to socialize and "mix".
It is stereotyped that Greek socials and alcohol go hand-in-hand. This
is not always the case. In fact, on Saturday, September 23, at 1:30 in
the afternoon, the brothers of Phi Delta Theta gathered with the sis-
ters of Phi Sigma Sigma in a social that took place at a mini waterfall
near the surrounding Clarion area.
The only thing lacking, but not missed, was the consumption of alco-
hol.
The enjoyable afternoon included a picnic, and walks through the
forest, as the sisters and brothers enjoyed each others company.
The evening concluded at dusk after many jokes and laughs were
shared around a bonfire.
The success of the "sober social" shows that alcohol is not needed in
order to have a good time, especially among Greek organizations.
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call
Future sorority members attended an anti-hazing workshop in the Gemmell Student
Center. The program was designed to end mental and physical hazing.
With organizations like Panhell thing of the past. Epsilon said, "It educates the new
and Interfraternity Council phys- When asked about the work- members about what rights they
ical and mental hazing can be a shop, Rebecca Kelly of Delta Phi have when pledging a sorority."
CU hosts Greek conference
by Missy Martin
Greek Writer
The Pennsylvania State System
of Higher Education (SSHE)
Greek Leadership Conference
will be held this year at Clarion
University. The conference will
be held on our campus beginning
Friday evening, November 10,
and will conclude Saturday after-
noon November 11, 1995.
Friday evenings activities
include a performance, (which is
co-sponsored by UAB) by Renee
Hicks, 1995 NACA comedy
entertainer of the year.
Following her show will be a
hypnosis performance by /'The
amazing Professor *P"\ (Both of
these Activities are open to all
CU students.)
At the conclusion of the
evening, Theta Xi fraternity will
be having a "Mocktails" social
that is open to all Greeks at their
house.
On Saturday, registration will
begin at 8am and activities
including keynote speaker
Michael Gordon, Executive
Director of National Panhellenic
Council Inc., and a series of 21
educational workshops and small
group sessions for the students,
and meetings for the Greek
Advisors.
The fee for the conference is
$10.00 per person for SSHE stu-
dents and personnel , and $15.00
for non-SSHE people. The cost
for Clarion University Greeks is
only $5.00, because the event is
co-sponsored by IFC and
Panhell.
Diana Anderson reported that
when we held this conference in
Clarion in 1988, we hosted over
400 Greeks from Pennsylvania.
We hope to see you there in
November.

Morlacci earns honor
Golden Eagles fall to Millers ville ; travel to Lock Haven
by Kraig Koelsck
Sports Editor
After playing 13th ranked
Millersville down to the wire
before losing a tough 41-35 deci-
sion, the Golden Eagles now turn
their attention to the PSAC West
opener at Lock Haven this
Saturday at LHU's Hubert Jack
Stadium, with kickoff set for 7:30
p.m.
Clarion gave Millersville
everything they could handle last
weekend, but came up on the
short end of the stick.
Going into the Lock Haven
game, Clarion's record currently
stands at 3-1.
Lock Haven, under the direc-
tion of sixth year head coach
Dennis Therrell, enters the game
with an overall record of 2-3 and
anO-lPSAC-Westmark.
The Bald Eagles opened 1995
with a 41-15 loss at Maine,
defeated Kean College 21-13,
lost to Northern Iowa 55-10,
defeated Mansfield 37-6 and last
Saturday lost their PSAC-West
opener at Edinboro 52-12.
Therrell has a 6-year record of
13-46-1.
"Lock Haven is an improved
football team," stated Clarion
head coach Malen Luke.
"I'm impressed with their run
and shoot offense and the success
they've had against everyone this
year. McLaughlin (LH qb) reads
opponent defense well and makes
very few mistakes. We believe
the key in this game will be how
our defense handles their run and
shoot," Luke added.
Clarion's offense is #1 in the
PSAC-West and #2 in the PSAC
averaging 489.8 yards of total
offense and 37.3 points per game.
The offense is racking up 235.5
yards on the ground, and 254.3
through the air.
The Golden Eagle defense,
which was #2 in the PSAC prior
to the Millersville game, fell to
7th in the PSAC and 4th in the
PSAC-West giving up 331.5
yards per game.
Clarion is yielding 73 rushing
yards and 258.5 through the air,
along with 19.3 points per game.
Lock Haven's "Run and Shoot"
offense is getting 328.4 yards and
19 points per game.
The Bald Eagles are getting
97.6 rushing yards and 230.8
passing yards per game.
Quarterback Bob McLaughlin
has completed 103 of 203 passes

Clarion travels to Lock Haven this Saturday in their first PSAC West matchup of the year.
for 1,143 yards and 5 touch-
downs this season for Lock
Haven.
He is the all-time PSAC record
holder in career completions
(761) and attempts (1,420) and is
closing in on the PSAC yardage
record of 9,086 set by Andy
Breault (Kutztown 1989-92)
McLaughlin has 8,810 yards
and needs 277 to set the new
record this Saturday.
The Lock Haven defense is
ranked 12th in the PSAC and 6th
in the PSAC-West in total
defense, yielding 482 yards per
game.
The Bald Eagles are giving up
298 rushing yards and 184 pass-
ing yards per contest.
Clarion returns home on
Saturday, October 14th to host
Shippensburg for the annual
Homecoming game. Kickoff is
set for 2 p.m. at memorial stadi-
um.
Joe Morlacci, a 6-1, 240 pound
defensive tackle, was named
"PSAC West Defensive Player of
the Week."
On Saturday against
Millersville, Morlacci posted 9
tackles (6 solo), 2 quarterback
sacks -15 yards, caused 1 fumble
and recovered 2 fumbles on the
day.
Morlacci has 23 tackles, 3tfl's
and 3 sacks this season.

Betters leads the way
Spikers down Mercyhurst/SIippery Rock
by Amy Mortimer
Sports Writer
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call
Coach Luke hopes to rebound from last weeks loss
against Millersville.
The Golden Eagle womens vol-
leyball team continued their
improvements defeating
Mercyhurst last Thursday, and
Slippery Rock this past Tuesday.
Through the rough traveling
and hard hits, the spikers
remained tough.
Thursday, October 28th, the
team traveled to Mercyhurst and
defeated the Lady Lakers in four
vigorous games.
Clarion won the first 15-13, but
the Lady Lakers fought back in
the second 10-15.
The Golden Eagles were too
strong and prevailed in the next
two games by 15-10 and 15-13
scores.
Senior Jenny Betters had 17
kills and 15 digs. Freshman
Mandy Kirby had 19 digs.
The team has stcked up some
impressive statistics.
The team has a GP of 85, 2,183
total attempts and 668 kills. The
spikers also have 1,215 digs and
101 service aces.
Jenny Betters leads the 247 kills
kills and 259 digs, Christy Boes
with 28 service aces and Midy
Conley leads with 542 assists.
This past Tuesday, the team
traveled to Slippery Rock.
Clarion won the first two games
15-13 and 15-13.
Slippery Rock won the follow-
ing two games 5-15 and 12-15,
but Clarion answered the call and
defeated the Lady Rockets 15-12
in the fifth and deciding game.
'This is the third rally game
we've played, and we haven't
lost one yet, that takes a lot of
character," coach Jody Bums
stated.
"The seniors were true leaders
last night, everyone did their job,
and that really helped," Bums
added.
The Clarion Elite volleyball
tournament will be held on
Friday and Saturday October 6-7.
Lock Haven comes to town
October 10th. "We hope to see a
lot of fans," Bums stated.
Clarion then faces the Clarion
Alumni on ALF Friday night.
Match time is 7:30 p.m.
Is O'Donnell hack this week?
The real Pittsburgh Steelers finally did step forward
by Kraig Koelsck
Sports Editor
Last week my headline read,
Will the real Pittsburgh Steelers
please step forward?
I'm not saying that they are
back for sure, but it sure looked
like it
Erric Pegram answered the call
rushing for 95 yards.
Bam Morris had two touch-
downs, but continued to struggle,
and I'm sure that Pegram will get
the start this week as well.
How about that defense?
"Wee" Willie Williams and
Alvoid 'Toast" Mays each had
two interceptions and both
returned one of their intercep-
tions for a touchdown.
Williams and Mays have both
stepped up their level of play, and
they cannot let up any.
Even with the two intercep-
tions, Mays was beaten deep late
in the third quarter by Chargers
receiver Tony Martin, but thank-
fully for Mays and the Steelers,
Martin dropped it
Are these the real Pittsburgh
Steelers?
Let's look at the defensive line.
Brentson Buckner continues to
play well, and Joel Steed would
have had a sack, but was held
miserably.
Ray "Big Play Ray" Seals had
a sack, and all three combined to
shut Natrone Means down pretty
good.
What can 1 say about the play
of the linebackers?
Kevin Greene beat his man
every play, or at least it seemed.
Lloyd and Brown each had
sacks, and Levon Kirkland lev-
eled a Charger receiver on Alvoid
Mays' interception return.
On the other side of the ball,
Mike Tomczak looked much bet-
ter against the defending AFC
champions.
Tomczak only had one inter-
ception, and it wasn't his fault.
Jonathan Hayes couldn't hang
on to the ball and it was inter-
cepted.
Hayes' time as starting tight end
could be almost up, as rookie
Mark Bruener continues to
improve.
Bruener has worked hard since
the day he signed his contract and
deserves to be rewarded for his
efforts.
As I stated earlier, Pegram
probably will start at running
back, and Steve Avery if healthy
will get the starting nod at full-
back.
Just in case, the Steelers signed
fullback Tim LesterOFormery of
the St Louis Rams) for insur-
ance.
Lester was primarily used as a
blocking back, and that's what
his role in Pittsburgh will be.
-
Yancey Thigpen has continued
his outstanding play and is one of
the Top 5 receivers in the AFC.
Thigpen has 27 catches for 370
yards, and is on pace to become
the first Steeler wide out in a very
long time to have 1,000 yards
receiving.
Andre Hastings also has been a
pleasant surprise this year, and
Tomczak has looked to Hastings
as sort of a possession receiver.
As far as the kicking game
goes, Norm Johnson is 11 for 11
on extra points, and 9 of 12 on
In order for the Steelers to get to the next level, they need Greg Lloyd(Above Right),
coach Bill CowherfAbove), and Quarterback Neil 0'Donnell(Opposite Right) to all work
together. The Steelers face Jacksonville this week, Cincinnati next week, and
Jacksonville the following week and now would be a good time for a winning streak.
field goals.
Rohn Stark, the punter, has
averaged 40.3 yards per kick, but
hasn't yet lived up to the high
expectations the Steelers have for
him.
So where do we go from here?
The only way for the Steelers to
go is up, and this week against
Jacksonville, look for the
Steelers to explode on both sides
of the ball. Jacksonville's 1 game
winning streak will be snapped,
and you can count on it.
Bill Cowher was fined $7,500
for his antics against referee
Gordon McCarter, but McCarter
and line judge Bret Montgomery
were suspended for a game with-
out pay.
For McCarter, who had a photo
that showed 11 men on the field
stuffed into his pocket by
Cowher at halftime, it's a $4,009
mistake.
Montgomery loses $2,826. It's
about time.
Cowher's episode will just fuel
the instant replay fire, and it will
be back in some form next year.

Leyland and some predictions
Jim Leyland: 1995 Manager of the Year?
by Bill Sinclair
Sports Writer
Jim Leyland, although he
should get the manager of the
year, definitely won't Leyland
managed the most awful team
I've ever seen in my 23 years on
this planet, A plethora of rookies,
an overpaid shortstop, and an
array of less than mediocre pro-
fessionals lead the Pirates to their
worst record in almost a decade.
The Buccos did have one or two
bright spots in their '95 cam-
paign: Orlando Merced had a
decern year, hitting .300, and
smacking 16 dingers.
Denny Neagle looked like a Cy
Young candidate for half the sea-
son, until the Bucs lumber
stopped scoring runs for him. Oh
yes, I almost forgot, Jeff King hit
18 homers to lead the club.
So why does Leyland deserve
manager of the year? He ended
the season 56-86, worst in the
National League, but with a near
nameless team it's amazing he
posted 25 wins.
If you can recall in early
August the Bucs were in the
National League Wild Card race.
They were 11 games out entering
a three game series in Atlanta.
They won the first game,
missed taking the second game
when Dave Clark's smash drifted
just a few feet foul in the 9th
inning.
The third game was lost when
the Pirates much maligned
bullpen failed to hold a 9th
inning lead.
The Bucs then proceeded to lose
10 of their next 12 games, plum-
meting to the bottom of the N.L.
Central basement.
The Buccos spirits were once
again auspicious nearing the end
of August, the team swept a five
game series against the Florida
Marlins, they hammered the
Colorado Rockies in the first
game of a three game set.
Nevertheless, the Bucs lost the
next two and eventually ended up

clinching last place, and the over-
all pick in the 1996 draft
Jim Leyland deserves all the
credit in the world, and really
doesn't deserve to stay in
Pittsburgh. He needs players,
and needs them before the start of
the '96 season.
JIM LEYLAND the miracle
worker, couldn't even make this
bunch winners.
Elsewhere in the world of
Baseball, the M.V.P., and Cy
Young awards need to be issued.
Dante Bichette is the hands down
winner for the N.L. MVP, with an
array of others splitting the rest
of the votes: Ron Gant, Greg
Maddux, Eric Karros, and
Sammy Sosa.
The A.L. MVP is no doubt in
the hands of Indian's leftfeilder
Albert Belle. Belle's torrid
September vaulted him ahead of
the Mariner's Edgar Martinez.
Others noteworthy of this presti-
gious award are: Mo Vaughn,
Randy Johnson, Williamsport,
Pa's Mike Mussina, and Rafeal
Palmeiro.
The NJL. Cy Young is a run-
away with Greg Maddux taking
his unprecedented, 4th Cy Young
award in a row, and more than
likely will win his 5th next year.
The man is in a league of his
own. Other notables: Hideo
Nomo, Pete Schourek, and
Ramon Martinez.
In the A.L., the big unit, Randy
Johnson takes the prize as the top
hurler due to Boston's Tim
Wakefield returning to his old
form. Mike Mussina and
Cleveland's Dennis Martinez will
get some votes cast for them.
Give credit to the following
individuals/teams. KC's Gary
Gaetti. The washed-up ballplay-
er had a whale of a year batting
.261 a smacking 35 deep shots.
The Chicago Cubs.
The surprising Cubs weren't
supposed to be anywhere near the
playoff hunt, but much to every-
one's surprise, they were in the

hunt until the last weekend of the
season.
Donny baseball, the Yankee's
captain finally made it into the
postseason. Matt Williams.
Great start, capped off by a fine
ending. Who knows what would
have happened if there had been
all season. Others to be men-
tioned: Jeff Bagwell, Andres
Gallaraga, Ken Griffey, the New
York Mets (tied for second in NL
east), and the new Iron Horse

A potpourri of information
The Best Seat in the House
by Scott Feldman
Sports Writer
Let me start this weeks column
by saying those people who left
last Saturday's C.U.P.-
Millersville game early missed a
great effort by the Golden Eagles.
C.U.P.'s version of "The
Cardiac Kids" almost pulled out
a victory over the 13th ranked
team in the nation.
Clarion not only has the talent,
but also the heart needed to con-
tend with big boys of the PSAC-
West.
The Golden Eagles tore up the
stadium turf for 537 yards with
outstanding efforts from QB
Chris Weibel (28-49: 411 yards, 1
TD), RB Steve Witte (13 rushes:
113 yards, 1TD, 8 catches: 100
Yards), and WR Chris Skultety (7
catches: 106 yards); statistics that
put all three in good company for
the week.
The team spirit after the game
was positive as they look forward
to stopping the Lock Haven run
and shoot offense led by Sr. QB
Bobby Mclaughlin.
Now just a little note to C.U.P.
fans: you can never count this-
group of Golden Eagles out, so
give them the support they
deserve.
The streak is now over!! Penn
State lost for the first time in
almost two years.
The last time Penn State fans
took a loss home with them
against Ohio State? Possible
foreshadow! I bet you can guess
who the Nittany Lions have this
week, that's right, the high pow-
ered offense of the Buckeyes.
So far this season OSU has put
opponents under the turf as the
nmbers the offense has put up
have been amazing.
PSU better do something with
it's defense or Bobby Hoying and
Terry Glenn will make the Lions
look silly. Mr. Glenn has made
OSU fans quickly forget about
Joey Galloway (first round draft
pick by Seattle last year).
Glenn is a great receiver and his
name will soon start to be men-
tioned in the same breath with
that little trophy given to the
nations best player.
I hate to say this but the PSU
offense is nowhere near as good
as last year and their defense is
downright horrible.
PSU fans better cancel their trip
to Pasadena before it's too late,
the only thing that I have to be
happy about this year is that least
I'm not a Pitt fan.
Rip off of the month: Shaq vs.
Hakeem! $9.95 to see two peo-
ple play a game of one-on-one
basketball. Get real, the hype for
this game went way overboard.
At the last minute Hakeem pulled
out as he hust his back lifting in
preparation for the event.
Lifting?
The only thing thats needs to be
lifted by the two is Shaq-Fu's rap
album off the record store
shelves.
What if Hakeem wouldn't have
gotten hurt? The game still
would have been awful.
Two seven footers playing one-
on-one, somebody needs some
serious help here!
The two are great players, and
what makes them even better are
the players who surround them.
Shaq without Penny, Hakeem
without Cassell, not quite what
you would want to see.
What's next: Deion Sanders vs.
Jerry Rice! For those of you who
paid the money, you don't even
deserve your cash back.

Why
'?

Sports Writer
The quarterback in football is
probably the most overpraised
and over-scrutinized position in
any sport He gets too much
respect and too much blame for
a win or a loss. There's another
area the quarterback is getting
too much respect for, and that's
in the backfield. Hard-hitting
defensive linemen and lineback-
ers are getting fined more often
than traffic offenders lately for
their hard tackles and sacks.
Granted, the quarterback is the
one guy that runs the show and
without the quarterback, isn't as
popular as it is right now. Most
NFL fans like to watch the high
scoring 50-48 overtime games,
but what about the other aspects
of football that makes it a great

V d
sport to play and watch? What
about the bone-jarring hits?
What about the 15 play, 87 yard
drive, that chunks up 10 minutes
off the clock? The NFL rules
committee believes only in
offense anymore and that is why
we see the new "quarterback
protection rules."
Advocates of these new rules
claim that with Astroturf and
defenders using the helmet more
and more, the QB needs more to
protect himself. That's crap.
Running backs and wide
receivers play on that same
Astroturf and take those same
helmets. Now you might argue
that running backs and wide
receivers are running full speed
and know when they are going
to be hit most of the time, and
often QB's have their backs
turned and are standing still, but
the last time I checked when the
QB has the ball he's allowed to
be tackled. If that tackle is a
hard one, so be it.
Quarterbacks have been get-
ting unloaded on ever since the
league started. Knee injuries
and concussions are not new to
the NFL. These rules only have
been introduced because an
appeal has been made from
quarterbacks and the coaches
who have franchise QB's.
What are these rules? From
my understanding, a defensive
player can't lead in with the hel-
met and can't hit the QB up past
the neck. Now these rules make
a lot of sense because it is dan-
gerous for both sides to lead in
with or get hit directly in the
head. Plus it sends a positive
message to the generation of
football players to learn good
tackling techniques. That's the
good side.
The bad side for the NFL play-
ers is that now defenders are hit-
ting low and that is causing
more lower body injuries (such
as the knee or the ankle).
Another negative is that referees
are taking the rules and stretch-
ing them to hits that don't apply
to them. It seems that with
every hit a quarterback takes the
refs give it another look to make
sure it is "okay."
Even if the hit is "okay"
according to the refs, that does-
n't guarantee a defender won't
get fines. Remember Greg
Lloyd's hit on Packer QB Brett
Favre in the preseason? There
was no flag on the play, but
there was a $12,000 fine
assessed to Lloyd.
These rules have impacted the
game greatly this year. How
many incomplete passes have
you seen this year turn into 15
yard gains due to a unsports-
manlike tap?
This gives great field position to
the offense more times than not
and that is a big factor in the
course of a football contest.
What is needed to solve this
problem is if there are going to
be these rules, the refs must call
them consistently. There's too
much ambiguity. The league
also can't be able to fine for a
hit that doesn't get a flag.
That's just showing up the ref-
erees they pay to officiate the
game.
It also discourages the players
who get fined; it makes them
believe they can't go full out on
the field and that makes them
susceptible to injuries.
There is a difference between
a cheap hit and a clean hit.
On to the conference where
the QB's are rough, and they
don't need those sissy rules, the
PSAC west.
Yes, the PSAC season is just
starting (Clarion starts next
week at LHU) and you have to
believe that IUP is the early
favorite with its 62-21 disman-
tling of Shippensburg last
Saturday. I think the real battle
in the PSAC west will be for
second place.
Clarion, Edinboro, Slippery
Rock, and California all have
good shots to claim it. Clarion
looked very promising despite
its loss to Millersville last
Saturday.
If Clarion has any shot at the
PSAC title it will have to win all
its conference games and then
pull the upset of the year against
IUP on the road.
CC teams compete at Allegheny
by Terry John
Sports Writer
The womens' cross country
continued their improvement this
past weekend at the Meadville
Invitational.
Although they finished last, the
team is progressing.
Roxanne Wilson finished 5th
overall with a time of 20 minutes.
Bridget Laflin and Christine
Stamm, Clarion's other freshmen
runners, finished 9th and 17th
respectively.
Laflin had a time of 20:08 and
Stamm ran the 3.1 mile course in
20:40.
Lisa Benlock, Cherie Zurko,
Karen Re inking, Bobbie
Manross, and Lynn Baluh fin-
ished 22nd through 26th respec-
tively.
Rounding out the field for
Clarion was Kristie Mares who
finished 30th overall with a time
of 24:58.
"That's not a bad finish consid-
er that the other two teams are
nationally ranked," said coach
Mooney.
The men surprised many peo-
ple finishing 2nd. They edged
third place Allegheny by one
point.
Brad Alderton led the men,
completing the 5 mile course in
27 minutes and 57 seconds, fin-
ishing third overall.
For the first time this season,
Tom Brady wasn't the Golden
Eagles second best runner.
Scott Reffner finished 7th over-
all, 6 seconds ahead of Brady.
Brady was 8th with a time of
28:39.
Craig Carlson(16th) and Mike
Cox also completed the course in
less than 30 minutes.
Carl Leonard almost broke the
30 minute barrier, finishing in
that time exactly. Leonard tied
for 22nd place.
"The greatest thing about the
guys was that some of them
passed other runners at the very
end of the race," said coach
Mooney.
Eric Lowery, Brendan George,
John Sporerr, Steve Rhodes, and
TJ. Wellington also contributed
to the shocking second place fin-
ish.
"We ran this same course
September 9th. 16 of our 20 run-
ners improved their times from
the last time we were here,"
Mooney added.

Editorial
ALF is here,
enjoy!

Koelsch
It's that time of year again, yeah
you guessed it, it's ALF. This is
my ninth semester here at Clarion,
so this is the fifth ALF that I have
been a part of.
Although during my freshman
year I was pledging, so the boys of
Sigma Tau had me preoccupied.
ALF is one great big party that
lasts for a week, and the universi-
ty, students, faculty, the towns-
folk, and even the alumni all come
together to take part in this extrav-
aganza.
I'm tired of hearing people say
that there is nothing to do at
Qarion. If you want to have fun,
you have to at least make an effort
to go out and make some fun. It's
not going to be catered to you, so
you'll just have to go out and find
it.
Whether you go uptown to try
some of the delicious food, or ride
an amusement ride, there is some-
thing for everyone at ALF.(I'm
not talking about the comic space
alien)
So to those of you who cry and
complain that you're not having
any fun, get off your couch, put
the phone down, turn the televi-
sion off, and go out and have
yourself a good time.
You'll never know if you like
something or not if you don't give
it a try, and ALF is definitely
something worth seeing.
NBC Must See TV will be on
next week, and there are sporting
events on every night, so talk to
people, find out what's going on,
and I'm sure that you'll see that
it's not so bad here after all.
The people who usually cry and
moan that they are not having a
good time are usually the ones
who when classes are over on
Friday, jump in their cars and head
home to Mommy and Daddy.
If you're bored, open up your
eyes and try to have a good time.
You can't call somewhere and
order fun, so you have to do what-
ever it takes for you to have a
good time.
Stay off the interstates for one
weekend, and instead experience
the streets of Clarion. I bet you'll
be pleasantly surprised when you
have a good time.
The University provides many
activities for ALF, and the town as
well as the community also has
many events that you could expe-
rience.
This editorial is not just about
ALF, it's about experiencing ALF,
and once that you have experi-
enced an ALF here at Clarion,
then I believe that you will be well
on your way to enjoying your stay
here at Clarion.
It is so interesting to see how
everyone comes together to have a
good time.
Whether you're at the Loomis, a
fraternity party, or at the Holiday
Inn for the Alumni party, everyone
who is at one of these functions is
trying to continue enjoying the
mystique of ALF.
I'm not saying that you have to
drink at any of these events, but it
is just a fact that people generally
do drink during ALF, and I'm sure
that the local beer distributors
don't mind when ALF rolls
around.
You can count on hearing Vinny
from Vinny's Pizza screaming
"Pizza, Pizza, Buck a Slice". The
Zem Zem funny cars, driven by
the shriners, will be flying around
town the whole way down to the
stadium, and people from miles
away will line the streets to watch
the annual parade.
ALF is just like anything else,
how do you know you won't like
it if you don't go out and try it?
In closing, quit judging Clarion
until you can honestly say that
you have gone out and experi-
enced ALF and the many other
aspects that Clarion has to offer.
ALF is a great time, and if you
try it, I can't see any logical rea-
son why you wouldn't like it
unless you are a pessimist.
Remember, you are at a school
with only 6,500 students. This
isn't Florida State, but you can
make Clarion a fun place, and
ALF is a great time to start enjoy-
ing yourself.

Hide Park
Wny I ii 1 1 vi Acts?
(Pact Two)
In my first Hide Park column, I
cited sources showing how liberally
educated students are finding good,
well-paid positions and are success-
ful in the practical business world,
partly because of this learning.
I also argued that one misses the
point of liberal studies if the goal is
only to get a better job. As it was
once said: "Education is not for the
purpose of earning a living.
Education is learning what to do with
a living after you earn it."
Further, I expressed the view that
the liberal arts have humanizing, civ-
ilizing influences on those engaging
in their study. Indira Gandhi said:
"The sole purpose of education is not
to enable young people to get jobs or
even to know more, but to help them
become better human beings, grow-
ing in awareness and compassion so
they can grapple with the problems
of today and be prepared for the chal-
lenges of tomorrow."
With liberal learning comes a flex-
ibility of the mind, an adaptability of
the spirit, traits valuable for survival
in a society fraught with accelerating
change. There have been more and
greater technological changes in the
last 40 years than all previous history
together. New jobs have been created
and many old jobs eliminated.
Persons who are over specialized and
who lack the humanizing influences
of a liberal education will have
greater difficulty in adapting to eco-
nomic and social changes that he
ahead, changes now unforeseen.
Many more present-day job speciali-
ties will be wiped out in the future,
events which will bring traumatic
shock to those unprepared. The argu-
ment here is not against job-training.
On the contrary, it is to say that liber-
al learning should come chronologi-
cally before specialized training,
both of which are essential. We need
now to look at the substance that lies
at the heart of the Liberal Arts, and at
the character of the studies them-
selves.
To be liberally educated in
American life, if it means anything at
all, it means to have a good com-
mand of both spoken and written
English. Facility in writing and
speaking our mother tongue requires
continuous work and refinement, a
lifetime commitment to improve-
ment by accretion, all the while rec-
ognizing that we never reach perfec-
tion. To improve either speaking or
writing, we need the help of compe-
tent critics who point out our mis-
takes, how to correct them, how to
improve our style (we should always
welcome such criticism gladly). This
is why writing assignments are so
important in the English Department
or wherever they are given in the uni-
versity.
Good speaking and writing presup-
pose much reading of good books
beyond textbook assignments. With
rare exceptions, textbook readings do
not lead to a liberal education; stu-
dents who limit themselves to such
readings unnecessarily diminish
themselves. Few textbooks have ever
earned a place in the literature of our
culture.
The liberally educated person, in
efforts at improvement, works to
select words best suited to express
the thought in mind. Such a one takes
delight in distinguishing between
fine shades of meanings and
becomes adept at honing and polish-
ing written work, and as a word-
smith, is constantly, systematically,
working to expand vocabulary. The
goal is a more able communicator in
the difficult process of transmitting,
orally and in writing, thought and
feeling from one mind to another.
When we seek to enrich our read-
ing, we should choose works of
authors recognized for their mastery
of the language. They also make the
most interesting reading. The short-
ness of our lives and the limits on our
time suggest we should be highly
selective and discriminating in what
we read. With more than 200,000
new tides published worldwide every
year, we are overwhelmed with rich-
es and can only read a tiny fraction of
them. At one book each week, a
number far above what most of us
read, we should read only 2,080
books over the next 40 years!
Fortunately many books have with-
stood the test of time and have
earned the distinction of classics
because their ideas are important in
every age. This makes the process of
selection easier.
Great literature, in addition to giv-
ing us much reading pleasure, also
gives us the feeling of places remote
in time and space, of circumstances
and human problems no textbook can
duplicate. We should take seriously
the cultivation of our memory. We
should train it through the practice of
the muses, through stories and
poems. No one should think of the
muses as "frills," for the muses are
what make life enjoyable; they are,
indeed, the humanizing element of
liberal learning. They are what make
us civilized.

READER RESPQNSES|
Don't include me in your biased Greek view
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to the
letter published last week from "I
hate Greeks". I am a Greek. Mr. "I
hate Greeks", you do not know me,
yet you have included me in your
biased view that we all are "snot
nosed". Generalizing is impossible
and it is an ignorant mistake to do
so. If you had taken the time to get
to know any of the Greeks on
campus, instead of stereotyping us
as drinkers and conformists, you
would realize that we are caring,
unique, and diverse people.
However, Mr. '1 hate Greeks", we
do have something in common. We
both came to Clarion to receive an
education. Since I joined a sorority,
my grades have improved due to the
stress placed on academics, tutoring,
and study hours my sorority offers.
If you really believe that Greeks
think that they are "above an
education", perhaps you can explain
why Greek women have a higher
cumulative G.P.A (2.852) than the
cumulative G.P.A for the C.U.P
student (2.825).
I would like to commend the £ajl
for finally dedicating a page to the
35% of the C.U.P students who
belong to Greek organizations.
It is also a great way to include the
other 65% of students, by informing
them of our philanthropic endeavors,
campus involvement, and
community service.
Mr. "I hate Greeks", maybe you
need to read the Greek page and find
out what belonging to a Greek
organization is really about.
Sincerely,
Kristen Krajniak
Delta Zeta
P.S. If you feel so strongly that
Greeks are such illiterate snobs,
have some conviction in your
beliefs, and don't ask your name to
be withheld.
Greeks are here for an education too!
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to the
letter written by "I hate Greeks." I
would like to inform this person of a
few things. For one, the main issue
here seems to be that Greeks are
here only to party and drink.
WRONG!!!! All Greeks have come
here for an education just as
everyone else has.
Matter of fact we weren't Greeks
when we chose to get a higher
education. We pay the same amount
of money to go to this school, which
is a couple thousand.
If I wanted to come to school just
to drink, it would have been a lot
cheaper for me to just stay home and
do it there.
Another thing I would like to
inform this "I hate Greeks person",
is that Greeks do not buy their
friends.
If you want to say that, you would
have to say that anyone who joins an
organization and has to pay dues, are
buying their friends. Why should
Greeks be any different from any
other organization which pay dues.
To have an effective running
organization you need to have dues.
In the case that you have not
joined any organization, dues help
run the organization and pay for any
activities that the organization would
like to do.
As I have stated above, Greeks
came to college for an education.
Why would we come here and pay
all this money to throw our
education away.
I take that very personally because
I work three jobs to be able to pay
for my schooling. I also hold a
Q.P.A that is far above the campus
average. This also holds true for
many other Greeks on campus.
Personally, being a part of a
sorority has been a great experience.
I have learned leadership skills that I
would not have learned outside of
the sorority.
You also learn a lot about life in a
Greek organization.
When you join a Greek
organization you are joining a group
of people who come from all
different aspects of life.
You must learn to not only get
along with others, but also learn to
love them. A Greek organization is
either a sisterhood or brotherhood.
You learn to care for a person who
you might have never thought you
would if they were not part of your
sorority or fraternity. This is
something we could all use in life.
I would also like to bring it to
everyones attention all the volunteer
work Greeks do.
Many of the Greeks help out with
Junior Olympics, blood drives, and
many other volunteer activities on
and around campus. If you
participate in any of these you will
see the presence of Greeks. That's if
you participate.
What it all comes down to is that
there is more to Greeks than you
would like to see. Greeks are very
active on this campus. You cannot
get away from that fact.
If you don't like it, you may have
to learn to accept it. Maybe Greeks
aren't for everyone, but you don't
need to stereotype them based on
facts you don't know or refuse to
see.

Debate continues in animal rights issue
Dear Editor,
Unfortunately Thomas Kehr failed
to read my recent letter carefully or
accurately which was devoted to the
abuse of the entire animal kingdom
in general. I used a dozen words or
phrases to broadly suggest the many
ways we mistreat animals. I did not
primarily single out farmers or paint
them as "evil". However, he chose
to characterize it as much and sadly
chose to limit the abuse to a farm
framework.
For example, cruel lab
experimentation, which I noted,
begins with mice, and extends to
millions of cats, dogs, wild animals
and primates, but Kehr limited it to
nutritional aspects of livestock.
Using his limited framework I
suggest a minority of farmers,
despite their difficult labor and
economic sacrifices, sometimes join
others in the misuse of animals.
Clearly not all tillers of the soil,
students, writers or even ministers
are saints or even human caretakers
at all times.
Why Kehr should feel threatened
in a society composed
overwhelmingly of meat eaters is
amazing unless he feels guilty, as I
would, of PRODUCING LIFE
MERELY FOR ITS EVENTUAL
DEADLY BLOODLETTING.
Most of our meat is produced, not
by family farmers, but by huge
corporate agribusiness 's concerned
with the largest possible profit rather
than humane treatment of animals,
the environment or consumers.
Kehr attempts to demean the
messengers, calling them "activists",
and "propagandists", as though this
pretentious camouflage destroys
their message — one he desperately
attempts to deaden.
I take pride in being an activist
even when defamed. Being
sensitive, informed, concerned, and

Friends and foes support new gun law
A sweeping new gun law that raises fees, toughens penalties, and
establishes a system for background checks is winning plaudits from
friends and foes of gun control.
The law, which takes effect today, was approved in June by lawmakers
seeking to get guns out of the hands of people who should not have them,
particularly convicted felons, juvenile delinquents, and the mentally ill.
Most people will notice little effect from the law except its fees. Gun
stores must collect $3 for each gun they sell; and the cost of a permit to
carry a concealed weapon will increase by $5 to $17.50.
Ridge reform creates pilot tuition grants
Gov. Tom Ridge's revised education reform package would create pilot
tuition grant programs in urban and suburban settings, and the state
Legislature would evaluate success or failure after at least five years, two
state senators said Tuesday.
Spokesmen for the governor confirmed the details discussed by Sens.
Tim Shaffer, R-Butler, and Melissa Hart, R-Allegheny. But the
spokesmen said the plan was still evolving through discussions with
lawmakers and educators around the state.
Ridge's original legislation for a $42 million tuition grant program was
withdrawn before it came to a vote because it was seven votes short of
passing last June. No new cost estimates were available.
NASA reschedules Columbia launch again
NASA will try for the fifth time, Saturday, to launch space shuttle
Columbia on a laboratory-research mission.
Columbia has been grounded for the past two weeks by a leaky engine
valve, sluggish hydraulics, and most recently, a failed computer signal-
relay box. Hurricane Opal also caused one delay.
Mission managers decided Tuesday evening to try again this weekend
to launch Columbia on the 16-day mission as opposed to letting Atlantis
fly next.

reactionaries to Congress.
They sought low grazing and timber cutting fees. Those congressmen
in turn support huge budget cuts for student assistance and every
imaginable human need. I agreed with that rationale, and less meat
eating reduces some animal abuse.
Furthermore, medical science and nutritionist's have thoroughly
documented that lower consumption of animal products, primarily meat,
results in longer lives and far less death and suffering from heart
disease, cancer, intestinal disorders, etc.
The environment, which Kehr dismissed, is harmed in various ways
from livestock and poultry fanning. Two examples are over-grazing
which leads to soil erosion and feedlot and poultry waste and processing
pollute fields and streams.
Despite Kehr's inference, I TOO HAVE FARM EXPERIENCE, and
oddly enough, with the same Brookville address as his own.
Yes, I recommend little or no meat eating. It is good for a longer
healthier life, for our environment and lessens the pain and suffering for
many of our fellow creatures.
I see enough abuse of dogs and cats alone, which is my most
immediate concern, to be convinced of the distance we have to go.
Edison observed that, "Until we stop harming all other living beings, we
are still savages."

Letters to
the Editor Cont .
We're ashamed of our Clarion athletes
Dear Editor,
As we flipped through the Clarion
News on Tuesday, September 26, we
came upon yet more Clarion athletes
whose names appeared in the cases
of the local District Justices. This is
seemingly becoming a norm around
here. For example, our Division I
wrestlers are doing a great job in
promoting a good name for our
school. Of the 15 veterans featured
in the 94-95 wrestling book, eight
have been in trouble with the law in
the last seven months.
That is 53% of them! Although
two wrestlers were only accused of
violating Clarion's noise ordinance,
the other six were a little more
drastic in which alcohol seemed to
play a part. One was found
unconscious, one was using a stolen
ID at Mr. T's and then fled from
police; two were involved in fights;
one was trespassing; and last but not
least; our favorite, one highly
intelligent individual was throwing
roofing tile off of Founder's Hall
which is going to cost us $3,500 (not
to mention that he was endangering
his life and others).
This letter in no way is to single
out the wrestlers. We have also had
football players who have been
involved in theft from the YMCA
and numerous fights. Also,
basketball players who were caught
vandalizing vending machines, using
false IDs, and showing guns in
public.
These people we have mentioned
are only the athletes we recognize.
There is no way we know the names
of all Clarion athletes, so many have
probably gone unnoticed.
What we want to know is-Are
these athletes also reprimanded on
campus? Do the coaches do
anything about these situations?
Our tuition money pays for these
athletes to be here on a scholarship—
the least they could do is try to set a
good example to the public and not
make a mockery out of Clarion
University.
Sincerely,
Ashamed of Athletes
O.J. trial has been national embarrassment
Dear Editor,
I watched Dateline on television
Wednesday night, September 27. Of
course 90% of the show was
coverage of the days happenings
with the Simpson trial. At the end
of the show though, the network
found the time to interview the
typical man on the street. It seems
they wanted to find out just how
many people could identify
photographs of some rather famous
faces. The reporter showed each
person about ten photographs ana
ask if they could name the face, or at
least state what position the famous
person held. Low and behold, ever y
one of those questioned could
identify Kato, Rosa the housekeeper,
Johnny Cochran, Mark Furman, etc.
However, nearly everyone had
trouble putting names to the faces of
the Secretary of State, the Speaker
of the House, the Vice President, and
the Prime Minister of Great Britain.
And what exactly was the purpose
of this exercise? Judging from the
attitude of the anchor and reporter,
ABC seemed eager for the
opportunity to demonstrate once
again that the American public is not
only ignorant for not being able to
identify these faces, but also
irresponsible for not taking it upon
themselves to see to it that they can
identify influential, important
leaders.
This attitude of the press irks me.
I have been irritated for nearly a
year at the massive news coverage
this trial has commanded and the
bigger than ever star status Simpson
has gained as a result. If the
American public watches ths news
at all, they have had no choice but
watch this seemingly endless farce
of our judicial system.
It has truly been a national
embarrassment. But my point is,
who is to blame if not the news
media, that our news coverage is so
shabby and bereft that we cannot
recognize the leaders in our nation.
Shame on you ABC!

Hey Greeks, I reject group mentality
Dear Editor,
I am Keenan Shaffer, 22, Comm
major. I reject group mentality. I
think nationalism created a foe in the
form of borders that promote hatred,
ignorance, and violent warfare. I
claim no religion because I feel they
have rated themselves mightier than
the God they preach of.
I believe government is a good
idea gone bad because humans are in
charge of humans. These ideas were
neither forced upon me nor created
out of spite. It is my mental order. I
am prepared to be labeled by the
labelers...a "punk". I consider
myself to be known as me.
Is someone out there prepared to
call me 'snob-nosed' or an 'ignorant
idiot'? If so, have you considered
the basis of my mentality?
You have never discussed the issue
with me; therefore, you have no
answer, I will clue you in on a
definite fact: I wouldn't have listed
my beliefs without studying the
issues from every angle I could
create. Hey, anonymous writer, did
you ponder the possibilities before
you expressed your view of the
Greeks? Even though you're anti -
Greek, have you tried to understand
why people commit themselves?
There are basic human
explanations. Or maybe you've
traded in your human nature for that
packaged rebellion stance. Your
beliefs shouldn't prohibit you from
trying to understand the people you
share this crazy planet with every
day. Rebellion with abandon is a
costly error. Some day, it will smack
you in the face.
Hey Greek, did you try to
understand why that anonymous fool
blatantly defamed the organization
you hold dear? Is he/she disguising
an insecurity? Why does he/she wish
to throttle you via the Call?
Once again, that type of
disagreement is something you
would be better off understanding. It
is so hard to contemplate a matter
that angers you. If you have, you
should be commended.
Everyone screams for a better
world. No government, religion,
fraternity, sorority, or other
organization can accomplish the
task. Anonymous rebels without a
cause can't help either. It boils down
to the way people treat each other,
even here on Clarion campus.
Everybody has a story. The
greatest form of 'snobbish
ignorance' is to judge a book by the
cover.
Read the book judge it, and then
read it again. It's well worth your
time. We're all in this together, or
are we?
Sincerely,
Keenan Shaffer

Business department up for accreditation
by Renae Kluk
News Writer
Clarion students will receive
more on campus job interviews
and will be eligible in more job
recruiting markets if the College
of Business Administration
acquires accreditation from the
American Association of
Collegiate Schools of Business.
The AACSB is the pinnacle of
business school accreditation,
according to Dr. Grunenwald,
Dean of the College of Business
Administration.
There are only 305 schools in
the nation accredited by AACSB.
Among them are Carnegie
Mellon, the University of
Pittsburgh, Penn State, and the
University of Pennsylvania.
If Clarion gets the accredita-
tion, it will be the first school in
the state system to be accredited
on both the undergraduate and
graduate levels.
"This has been a 20 year goal,"
said Dr. Grunenwald. Clarion
had tried to gain accreditation
two other times, in 1980-81 and
1990-91, but they withdrew their
application both times.
The College is now ready and
Dr. Grunenwald feels that
Clarion will probably gain the
accreditation.
Clarion has been approved by
the AACSB as a three-year can-
didate school.
It is currently in the second
phase which is the self-study
year.
This year the College of
Business Administration has to
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Cail
Dr. Grunenwald
evaluate itself in the form of a
large report.
The college has to make sure
that its curriculum is current; that
it is incorporating international
business, technology, legal and
ethical elements.
The college must show that it is
financially able to continue to
support and improve upon the
facilities.
The college must also show
support from the library. The
faculty and staff must be first
rate.
"The school must be conscious
of the quality of education and
must always be looking ahead,"
said Dr. Grunenwald.
The third and final step of the
process is the visitation.
In 1996-97 deans from three
accredited Universities will come
to look over Clarion. They will
interview the administration, fac-
ulty, students, and even Clarion
businesses about the College of
Business Administration.
In April of 1997 the decision
will be made.
All students at Clarion
University will benefit from this
accreditation. It will improve
Clarion's notability both in and
out of the state.
It will allow for the automatic
transfer of grades and credits for
transfer and graduate students.
The AACSB accreditation will
also provide new recruiting mar-
kets, such as Fortune 500.
It will also generate more on
campus interviews by large busi-
ness corporations.
Also, all prior graduates will
receive the accreditation.

LIFESTYLES
A Volunteer Making Positive Changes
by Gara I~ Smith, Intern
Community Service Learning
She rises at 7:00am, checks her
daily planner and heads off to
classes, work, and organizational
meetings. Something that sets her
apart from many is that she
includes another activity in her
hectic daily schedule. ..volun-
teerism.
Steigleman, a senior mathemat-
ics-actuarial science major, has
been involved in volunteerism
most of her life. "In high school I
was involved with the key club
and many other groups," she says
with a sincere smile. "I have
become so accustomed to volun-
teering that it is a part of my daily
schedule."
As a student leader at CUP,
Steigleman has kept her schedule
full as a Student Senator,
Panhellenic Council President,
member of Alpha Phi Omega,
Alpha Sigma Alpha,
Mathematics Club, Phi Eta
Sigma Honor Society, photogra-
pher for The Clarion Call, violin-
ist in the CUP Orchestra, Service
Advisory Board, Admission's
Ambassador, Admission's Tour
Guide, in addition to being nom-
inated as a member of Who's
Who Among America's College
Students. But that's not all she
does.
On Wednesday evening's she
helps cook and serve congrega-
tional dinners at the First
Presbyterian Church. After din-
ner she runs the nursery during
the women's Bible study and
another evening she is dedicated
to six young women who are a
part of Girl Scout Troop #358.
Steigelman is their troop leader.
And on Saturday night's she
assists with the nursery for the
Saturday evening service.
Steigleman also is involved
with an exciting new program to
get children on the F.A.S.T. track.
Fun After-School Tutoring
(FAST.) is a brand new non-
denominational program based at
the First Presbyterian Church. As
a CUP off-campus work-study
student, she serves as supervi-
sor/coordinator of the F.A.S.T.
program.
Reverend Daniel Michalek of
the First Presbyterian Church
stated that the goal of the
F.A.S.T. program is to "offer aca-
demically at risk young people in
third through sixth grades a sense
of belief in themselves and hope
for the future through the devel-
opment of an after-school tutor-
ing program. There will be at
least an indirect outreach to the
young people's family's as well.
"It is an additional goal to pro-
vide growth and outreach oppor-
tunities for those who will
assume leadership. People will
have an opportunity to change
lives for the better, and we need
to be direct and public with the
possibilities that will be avail-
able."
Steigelman says that she is "a
little nervous about the program
since it is brand new." Although,
the program has not begun it has
already positively impacted stu-
dents, families, and volunteers.
Many of the volunteers are
retired or current school teachers,
senior citizens, and university
students. They will undergo

Steigelman is a volunteer who is making a difference.
training and assist in the structure
of the tutoring program. People
are volunteering their time and
services in all various means for
this program. Steigleman com-
ments that "a retired dietician is
even making the snack sched-
ule".
Dr. Whitling, member of the
Presbyterian Church Outreach
Committee, says that this is an
exciting new program and that
"Terri is doing a great job by get-
ting the program off it's feet." He
further comments, "Terri is
invaluable as a volunteer."
Indeed Dr. Whitling, with more
Terri Steiglemans volunteering
positive changes will occur...
because change is possible.
"Lord of Illusions" is a
Waste of Cash
by Tina Matthis
Lifestyles Writer
"Lord of Illusions:" To sum up
this movie in one word: decrepit.
The plot is kind of like your
typical religious cult-gone-bad
story. This guy, Swann, "kills"
the leader, a really big bad guy,
and gets all of his powers.
Swann becomes an illusionist
(hint the title of the movie), mar-
ries a beautiful woman, and then,
leads a mysterious life. Enter
Scott Bakula ("Quantum Leap"
guy), who plays a private detec-
tive, hired by Swann's wife. If
you can't see where this part of
the story is going, you must be
brain dead.
Throughout the whole movie, I
wondered when Al was going to
pop through that blue door and
say, "Sam, Ziggy says there's a
100% chance that you're caught
in the worst movie of 1995!"
Even the sex scene was pre-
dictable. Bakula and Swann's
wife get into an argument and the
basic conversation went like this:

Then they grab each other and
share a deep, forceful kiss, lead-
ing into an abrupt cut to them
laying naked in bed. Yawn.. .typ-
ical.
At the end of the movie, there's
a big fight between the thought-
to-be-dead big bad guy and
Bakula . Needless to say, Bakula,
comes to the rescue of Swann's
wife, the damsel in distress . And
more obviously, Bakula kills the
big, bad guy and gets the chick.
This was a sickly waste of how-
ever millions of dollars it took to
make, a waste of my $3.00 to see
in the theater. The only thing that
would have made this worth any
amount of money would have
been if I could have seen that
blue light form around Bakula' s
body and he would have "leaped"
himself and "Lord of Illusions"
out of my memory forever.
Stanley Plumly Visits Clarion
by Bobbi Russell
Lifestyles Editor
As the first installment of the
Spoken Art Reading Series,
sponsored by the English
Department, Stanley Plumly per-
formed at Moore Hall on
Monday evening. Plumly is a
renowned poet originally from
Barnesville, Ohio. He read
poems about nature, love, insom-
nia, mothers, and other poets in
an intriguingly melodic and
expressive voice. Plumly is the
author of five collections of poet-
ry. " In The Outer Dark, " his first
collection, won the Delmore
Schwartz Award. Also, his third
collection, "Out-Of-The Body
TraveV' was nominated for the
Natinal Book Critics Circle
Award. Most recently, he pub-
lished his fifth collection entitled,
"Boy on the Step."
Plumly has taught at many uni-
versities including Princeton,
Columbia, and is now at The
University of Maryland. At the
age of 56, he has proved that one
can still make a brilliant and suc-
cessful living as a poet. "The
New York Tunes Book Review"
has said that "reading Stanley
Plumly is like having someone
whisper unceasingly in your ear,
humming of light, trees, sleep,
snow."

toy Fisher-Price people who are
unlikely (although I would not
totally rule it out, in America) to
sue you.
Whereas when your child turns
15, the state of Florida lets him
obtain a permit that allows him to
drive an actual car on actual
roads, despite the fact that you
can vividly remember when he
slept on "Return of the Jedi"
sheets. Of course there are
restrictions: He must be accom-
panied by a licensed driver age
18 or over. But that does not
reassure me. What that means to
me is that, in the eyes of the state
of Florida, it is perfectly OK for
my son to be driving around
accompanied only by Ted
Kennedy.
I want tougher restrictions than
that. I want the law to say that if
my son is going to drive, he must
be accompanied by a licensed
paramedic and at least two
Supreme Court justices. Also, I
believe that, as a safety precau-
tion, his car should be attached
via a stout chain to a restraining
device such as the Pentagon.
It's not that I think my son is a
bad driver. He's actually a pretty
GOOD driver, careful to signal
his turns. That's what worries
me: He'll be driving in Miami,
where nobody else, including the
police, does this. If Miami
motorists were to see a turn sig-
nal, there's no telling how they
would react. They could become
alarmed and start shooting.
And what if my son actually
believes the official Florida state
driver's manual when it says that
the left lane is for passing only?
Not here in Miami it isn't! The
driving public here apparently
believes that there is some kind
of deadly voodoo curse on the
right lane, so EVERYBODY dri-
ves in the left lane here, at speeds
ranging all the way from
Indianapolis 500 to Car Wash.
This means that is you get behind
somebody traveling at, say,
Funeral Procession, and you
want to pass, you have to disre-
gard the driver's manual, risk the
voodoo curse and use the right
lane, UNLESS the driver in front
of you is talking on a cellular
telephone, because these people
frequently receive urgent manda-
tory instructions from whoever
they're talking to, such as,
"SWERVE ACROSS ALL
AVAILABLE LANES IMMEDI-
ATELY!" So when you're
behind cell phone drivers, it's
generally wise to wait patiently
for a few moments until they ram
into a bridge abutment; then you
can pass safely on whichever side
has the least amount of flame
spewing out.
We veteran Miami drivers
know this, just as we know that,
in Miami, it's considered accept-
able to park on any semi-level
surface, including roofs, and to
go through a red light as long as
you can still remember when it
was yellow. But how is my son
supposed to know these things?
What really scares me is that
he'll want to drive a LOT. I
know this, because I remember
exactly how I felt when I got my
driver's license, in 1963. I was a
student at Pleasantville (N.Y.)
High School, where, if you were
a male, cars were EXTREMELY
important. There were two major
religions: Ford and Chevy. Ford
guys would carve "FoMoCo"
(for "Ford Motor Co.") on desks;
Chevy guys - this was considered
extremely witty - would change it
to "FoNoGo." We found great
wisdom in Beach Boys car songs,
which are just like love songs to
a woman, except they're (a) more
passionate, and (b) more techni-
cally detailed, as in these lyrics
from "Little Douce Coupe":
"She's ported and relieved and
she's stroked and bored;
She'll do a hundred and forty in
the top end floored..."
At lunchtime we stood next to
the circle in front of the high
school and watched guys drive
around slowly, revving their
engines. Sometimes, if we were
especially impressed with a car,
we would spit.
I applied for my New York state
driver's license the instant I was
old enough, and the day it arrived
- finally! - in the mail, I borrowed
my mother's car, which was a
Plymouth Valiant station wagon
that could attain a top speed of 53
miles per hour if dropped from a
bomber. I didn't care: I HAD
WHEELS. I drove around at ran-
dom for approximately the next
two years. It made no difference
to me where I was going. I was
happy simply to be in motion,
with the AM radio turned up so
loud and tuned to WABC in New
York City, which would be play-
ing, say, "He's So Fine" by the
Chiffons:
"He's so fine (Doo-lang doo-
lang doo-lang)
Wish he were mine (Doo-lang
doo-lang doo-lang)
That handsome boy over
there..."
And behind the wheel, with my
arm draped casually out the win-
dow, I imagined that I WAS that
handsome boy, not some dweeb
driving his mom's Valiant. I was
cool. I was DRIVING.
These days when I'm driving I
rarely listen to music. I do listen
to traffic reports, because I'm
always late for some obligatory
grown-up thing. I'm never dri-
ving just to be driving.
But my son will be, soon. He'll
be out there every chance he gets,
feeling so fine, cruising to
nowhere, signaling his turns,
playing his music, cranking it up
when a good song comes on,
maybe exchanging high-fives
with the Supreme Court justices.
Yup. He'll be on the road a lot -
a teenager, but still, in many
ways , a human being. Please
watch out for him.
British Debate Team Visits Clarion
by Stacy Atwell-Keister
Lifestyles Writer
When was the last time you saw
a bearded, kilt-wearing man and
a Hugh Grant look-alike match
wits with two Americans from
Pittsburgh? On Monday, October
8, the Clarion University
Forensics team hosted the first
annual International Debate, and
treated university students to just
that The British team consisted
of Ian Duncan, a student at the
University of Bristol, and Trevor
Sather, a graduate of Cambridge
University. The American team's
members were Kelly Happe and
Pete Bsumek, both graduate stu-
dents at the University of
Pittsburgh.
The Americans took the affir-
mative side in the debate, arguing
strongly in favor of Clinton.
They discussed his foreign poli-
cy, his domestic policy, and his
leadership ability. They made a
strong case for Clinton and won
the support of many. But, the
Brits proved to be the stronger
competitors. Speaking of the
need for definitive foreign policy
strategies, firm decision making
skills, and strong leadership abil-
ities, the British team won the
support of the majority of the
audience and was voted the vic-
tor for the evening.
I came in with no opinion about
President Clinton and left with a
good idea of what his presidency
was all about. At points, I found
myself laughing uncontrollably,
and at other times the debaters
angered me. Always, I was made
to think. I formed new opinions
and revamped old ones. The rest
of the audience appeared to be
having a good time too, judging
from the various boos, hisses and
spurts of hysterical laughter that
filled Hart Chapel.

Ed and Dave "Rock Your World" AROIAJQD -JQ- AKOWC in Clarion
by Ed Wargula
and Dave Graham
Welcome Back! We're Ed and
Dave, and we're going to "Rock
Your World!"
Former Minutemen/ Firehouse
bassist Mike Watt goes solo with
the LP "Ball-Hog Or Tugboat?"
The album contains guest appear-
ances by many of the big names
in Alternative Rock. The disc
kicks off with "Big Train," and
this is also the first single from
the album. "Big Train" could
easily have fit on an old
Firehouse album and features a
guest appearance by "The
Brother's Meat," otherwise
known as Cris and Curt
Kirkwood from The Meat
Puppets, on banjo and guitar,
respectively.
The second track, "Against The
70's," has what may be the most
star studded line up of any of the
tracks on the album. Former
Nirvana members Dave Grohl
and Krist Novoleselic play drums
and organ, and the vocals are
handled by Pearl Jam's Eddie
Vedder. The song is about how
the 70's are over and that 70's
values are no longer relevant,
saying that, "It's just someone
else's sentimentality."
"Drove Up From Pedro" is an
autobiographical song that tells
the story of how Watt drove up
from San Pedro to see The Germs
play in Hollywood and the effect
that it had on his life. Also it
ends with him telling that, "For
inspiration he's got to dig back to
them days when The Germs
played."
"Intense Song For Madonna to
Sing" is an instrumental in which
you choose the words you your-
self can hear her doing. This
song reminds me of The
Minutemen's song "Political
Song for Michael Jackson to
Sing." It grooves along in tradi-
tional, whatever that may be,
Watt Style.
'Tuff Gnarl" is a cover of a
Sonic Youth song, and Watt is
joined by Sonic Youth members
Thurston Moore on guitar and
Steve Shelly on drums. Also
joining them on drums for part of
the song is Dinosaur Jr.'s J.
Mascis. "Sexual Military
Dynamics" features vocals by
Henry Rollins who also wrote the
lyrics to it. Rollins sounds a bit
more subdued than his singing
with The Rollins Band, but the
words still hit home with a hard
bite.
Other standout songs are "Max
and Wells," featuring guest
appearances by Screaming Trees'
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call
Ed Wargula and Dave Graham continue to rock your world.
Mark Lanegan and Dinosaur Jr.'s
J. Mascis. "Sidemouse Advice,"
has Flea from the Red Hot Chili
Peppers, playing pocket trumpet
And, finally, a cover of
Funkadel lie's "Maggot Brain"
featuring P-Funk keyboardist
Bernie Worrel and again
Dinosaur Jr.'s J. Mascis.
On Oct. 6, 1 saw Watt live in
concert at Graffiti in Pittsburgh.
In stark contrast to the star stud-
ded line-up on his first solo
album, Watt took a stage with
only a guitarist, a drummer and
percussionist Bass guitar and all

vocals were handled by Watt. In
addition to playing cuts off of his
solo album, Watt also played a
couple of old Minutemen songs
and the Firehouse classics .
Another surprise was his rendi-
tion of Blue Oyster Cult's "The
Red and Black." Other outstand-
ing performances were, "Against
The 70's," which Watt sang bet-
ter than Eddie Vedder did on the
record, a rousing rendition of
" Big Train," and an emotional
reading of "Drove Up Form
Pedro."
"Too Deep For Your Daddy."
The Boston based Gumshoe
played at Clarion a few weeks
ago. Their new CD recently
came out. Most of the songs on
"Too Deep for Daddy" put you in
mind of old U2 songs without the
political message. They also cap-
ture that R.E.M. guitar sound
giving their CD a mellow feel
without being entirely soft. If you
are into this type of sound I rec-
ommend Gumshoe to you, but if
you are looking for a wider vari-
ety of songs maybe you should
check
something else out. Most of the
songs on this CD use the same-
feel and tone. One exception to
this is the title track which uses a
more upbeat feel.
"Disco Volante." One current
trend in music is taking the mini-
malist approach. Guitar, bass,
and drums. A different musical
form is to use everything at ones-
disposal to create something
never heard before. A lot of bands
try this and fail miserably. Mr.
Bungle is not one of these bands.
Fronted by Faith No More singer
Mike Patton, this is Mr. Bungles
second major label release. This
release takes on a different yet
similar direction. They still mix
styles faster than you can blink,
but gone are the upbeat circus
songs. They have been replaced
by very organ heavy experimen-
tal compositions. They use their
main influence, saxophonist and
jazz improv master John Zom, to
create their own form of art.
Where else can you hear an
Ornette Coleman like saxophone
piece turn into a Slayer likespeed
metal riff in a matter of seconds?-
One track "Ma Meeshka Mow
Skwoz" stands out as it success-
fully mixes tribal beats, organs,
ska breakdowns, xylophones,
surf guitars, samples, metal gui-
tars, techno, and scatvocals
including a variety of growls and
gurgles. (Trust me. You have to
hear it to believe it.) Other tracks
include "Carry Stressin the Jaw",
"After School Special", "Merry
Go Bye Bye,"which symbolical-
ly describes Mr. Bungle. A freak
of nature which contains parts of
many things.

"A pledge is a promise (or to promise) not a person." This statement
introduces the new member education program initiated by one of the
Clarion sororities which replaces their traditional "pledge" program.
Learning and living one's membership instead of earning membership
is the goal of a new member education programs.
The concept of new member programs was first introduced to the
greek system by the Leadership Development Team with the assis-
tance of Charles W. Loring, Phi Sigma Kappa in the early eighties.
This theory challenged the greek system to explore implementation of
a program of assimilation (membership development) vs. rites of pas
sage (traditional pledge programs).
According to Diana Anderson, Panhellenic Council advisor, seven of
Clarion University sororities are implementing new member education
programs. They are: Alpha Kappa Alpha, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Delta
Zeta, Phi Sigma Sigma, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Theta Phi Alpha, Zeta
Phi Beta. Anderson states, "Most of these programs have eliminated
pledge class only activities which often formed a class structure with
in the chapter." These new programs are based on continuous growth
and education throughout membership. A new member is assimilated
into the chapter immediately by participating in chapter meetings,
committees, service projects, fund raisers and functions along side the
initiated members- not as a separate class within the chapter.
These programs are developed by national committees and passed by
the collegiate chapters through a vote of the convention body at bien
nial national conventions. Alpha Sigma Tau, Delta Phi Epsilon and
Zeta Tau Alpha are currently reviewing campuses across the United
States. "I am pleased that the nationals have embraced the concept of
learning membership versus earning membership. Over the past eight
years, all of our chapters have made great efforts to revise and improve
their programs in order to provide a rewarding and enriching experi-
ence for new members."

Why go Greek?
Courtesy oflFC
Many people are involved in
activities and organizations while
enrolled in college. Through
these organizations, people learn
a variety of skills that they will
need and use after they graduate.
A few examples of these skills
are; leadership, organization,
socialization, professionalism,
and overall, they learn to deal
with themselves.
Today, there are more members
of Greek organizations than ever
before. The members of Greek
organizations create a tremen-
dous impact on their campuses,
throughout the communities
where their colleges are located,
and throughout the nation. The
following is a list of facts to help
understand how many prominent
people in the nation were once
involved in the Greek communi-
ty-

The Steelers. and other selected thoughts
A little bit of sports minutia
by Bill Sinclair
Sports Writer
While Bill Cowher ponders his
teams embarrassment this past
week, I'll point out his problems.
Alvoid Mays, Bam Morris, and
offensive coordinator Ron
Erhardt seem to sum it up for me.
Someone, anyone, should be able
to play better than Mays. He is
flat out awful. He can neither
tackle nor cover. Morris can't
run, or even do much of any-
thing. Erhardt' s calls are just too
pretentious. Everyone watching
the game could tell what he was
going to call. But enough about
Sunday's fiasco, let's move on to
some other sport tidbits.
The Washington Bullets may
actually slip into the post-season
this year. With Chris Webber,
Juwan Howard, Rasheed
Wallace, Mark Price, Calbert
Chaney, and big George
Muresan, they're a formidable
club. Trade rumor are circulating
that the Bullet's may snatch J.R.
Rider, but a rumors a rumor. The
only problem the Bullets have is
they compete in a division ruled
by the Magic, Bulls, and Knicks.
Mario's back! The Penguins
looked like Stanley Cup con-
tenders with the annihilation of
the Toronto Maple Leafs, and
they found the back of the net six
times against a powerful
Colorado team. The enforcing of
the neutral zone rules will do
nothing but benefit the Pens
style.
The Golden Eagle's suspicious
beginning is no fLUKE* Head
Coach Malen Luke has his grid-
ders out to a 4-1 start, including
1-0 in the PSAC-West. They
smacked around the Bald Eagles
of Lock Haven under the lights
on Saturday night. They face
Shippensburg this week for
Homecoming, where they should
improve to 5-1, and 2-0 in PSAC-
West play.
Speaking of Clarion football,
why not construct a new stadium.
Build a stadium right next to Still
Hall, that way the attendance will
increase drastically.
Build a football only stadium,
construct it in the same way the
current one stands.
Put the main stands flush against
the side of the road, with the
away bleacher closest to the hill-
side.
The scoreboard will be furthest
from Still, and the lockerooms
will be under the main stand.
The track will remain where it
is, with the current field being
used as the team's practice facili-
ty. This enables the baseball and
softball teams to put up the
fences they have lacked for all
these years. Oh yeah, how about
some bleachers for the baseball
and softball team?
Are you aware of these facts?
-Much maligned Pirate short-
stop of the eighties, Dale Berra
holds an all-time major league
offensive record.
He and Pete Rose are tied for the
major league record for most
times reaching first base on
catcher's interference. 14 times.
-The Yankee's Bemie Williams
was the first player in post-sea-
son history to hit a home run
from both sides of the plate in
one game.
-Northwestern is 4-1, and one
bad snap away from being unde-
feated. How do you beat Notre
Dame and Michigan, and lose to
Miami of Ohio? By the way,
Kansas and Kansas State are both
undefeated and currently ranked
in the top ten.
-The Seattle Mariners have
never had a winning season, now
they stand just one series away
from the World Series. However,
they face the Tribe and their
dream season will most likely
come to a halt. Indians take them
in six.
-In the NL, the Reds beat the
Braves in seven. Bobby Cox's
boys aren't facing the porous
Colorado pitching staff.
-Pick of the week: Take Ohio
State minus the points at
Wisconsin.
Hoying to Glenn, complement-
ed by the running of George, are
just too much for the Badgers.

Are the Buffalo Bills on the way back?
by Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
Let's take a trip in time back to
the year of 1988. Reagan was on
his way out, Bubby Brister was
the Steeler QB, and Vanilla Ice
was on the verge ot pop stardom.
More importantly, let's look at
the 1988 NFL season, with the
AFC championship game of that
campaign.
Remember the match-up?
Ickey Woods "shuffled" his
Cincinnati Bengals to the confer-
ence title game against a young,
playoff inexperienced squad
from Buffalo. Jim Kelly,
Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith
& company were defeated that
day but that was the start to AFC
dominance that included 4 Super

Bowl trips from 1991-1994. I
know a lot of you are shaking
your head thinking about those
trips but guess what AFC fans?
The party isn't over just yet in
Buffalo.
Yes Buffalo, like a sore back
when it rains, is back. Those four
straight losses in the Super Bowl
and last years abyssmal playoff
short season haven't phased the
Bills this year and with a start of
4-1, they appear headed back to
the postseason.
Now I'm not a Buffalo fan, but
I think the Bills haven't had a fair
shake around the NFL talk cir-
cles. Should we judge the Bills
only because of four losses and
say they did an injustice to the
AFC? Should we ignore that the
Bills, until last year, had the best
record of any NFL team in the
1990's? Is that doing injustice to
the AFC? This is still a good
squad.
The nucleus of the AFC cham-
pionship teams is still there in
Kelly, Thomas, and Reed on
offense and Smith and Cornelius
Bennett on defense. The Bills
management has improved the
defense greatly to replace the
free-agent losses over the past 3
vears.
The Steelers are hands down
the most popular team here in the
Clarion area, that's a no-brainer.
Buffalo is probably the 2nd most
popular. If Pittsburgh had lost
those 4 Super Bowls in the
1970's instead of winning them,
would the Steelers have that
"choke" stigma that the Bills
have? Let's remember that while
we laughed and ridiculed Buffalo
for losing four straight Super
Bowls, they had to beat our
favorite AFC teams to get there.
Speaking of the Steelers, was
there anything more gut-wrench-
ing than watching them lose a
game that they needed to win to
establish a roll going into a bye-
week? This a crucial time for the
Steelers considering their sched-
ule. After the bye, they play
Cincinnati and Jacksonville at
home. These are must win games
because tougher opponents are
on the horizon. They play the
Chicago Bears and then have a
date with Cleveland on Monday
night coming up after the before-
mentioned games. These next
four are important in playoff
positioning for home field advan-
tage and the AFC Central race.
The Steelers are playing good
football, they're just not getting it
done in the big moments of the
game like they were last year.
Turnovers are destroying their
confidence on offense and
defense. How bad do they need
Rod Woodson?
Here's my little public service
announcement. In case you have
been knocked out for the entire
semester on the top floor of
Carlson Library and are just wak-
ing up, this is ALF week and
Clarion's football squad plays
Shippensburg in the
Homecoming game Saturday. In
case you didn't know, we have a
pretty good football team this
year.
I call upon you, the students of
this fine institution, as your civic
duty to this campus, to attend
Saturday's game.
Clarion is on a roll after beating
Lock Haven and Shippensburg is
not after getting blown out in
consecutive weeks by IUP and
Edinboro.
It's free with your ID to get in
and Clarion will win this football
game!

ALLIES - Identifying ourselves
as allies means that we pledge to
be advocates for lesbian,

Clarion University. We are
committed to being a "safe
person" with whom lesbian, gay,

openly about their lives. In
addition, we will talk to people

A potpourri of information
The Best Seat in the
by Scott Feldman
SportsWriter
After sitting through another
dismal showing by the Pittsburgh
Steelers last Sunday, I've decided
to start this week's column with a
little spelling lesson for coach
Cowher and the boys. Let's see if
you can figure out the word.
Open up the offense. Great
receivers like Thigpen, CJ., and
Hastings can help this terrible
offense tremendously, get them
the ball.
Eorget about relying on the
defense week in and week out.
The gem "Wee" Willie and
Alvoid pulled off against San
Diego won't ever happen again.
Eind a go to guy on those cru-
cial third down plays.(i.e. Eric
Green)
Everytime the team gets the ball
to rookie Mark Bruener, some-
thing good happens. The Steelers
need to utilize this kids talents a
lot more.
Ho more Bam Morris. He can't
even power his way for one yard.
Keep Erric Pegram in the game
and let him continue to give
opposing defenses fits.
Stop being so predictable on
first down (run up the middle)
and third down.(draw or screen to
the fullback)
End this horrible nightmare and
start scoring some points.
That's right, this week's word
was OFFENSE!

Speaking of offense, how about
the machine that we have right
here in our own backyard? The
Golden Eagles continue to put up
big numbers in a ball control
offense.
Clarion doesn't go for the big
play, in fact, they don't have to.
Steve Witte continues to be one
of the premier backs in the
PSAC, while QB Chris Weibel
keeps hitting wideouts Chris
Skultety, Alvin Slaughter, and
Mark Witte with his precise pass-
es.
Mark Witte has come into his
own and gotten rid of the label
"The other Witte". He runs great
patterns and can catch anything
thrown at him. All of the above
mentioned are having great sea-
sons, but it's the horses up front
who have paved the way to a 4-1
start.
Coach Malen Luke has
installed a rotation of McKay,
Martin, Sohyda, Kiker, and Sipos
to continue to open up holes that
even the CUP maintenance men
could drive their trucks through.
The Golden Eagles must now
contend with the loss of All-
everything center John Smith.
Smith injured his knee in last
weeks 49-32 dismantling of Lock
Haven.
The loss of Smith will put a
huge burden on the rest of the
offensive line, but this group of
players will pick up their fallen
teammate and keep trashing
opposing defenses.
For those of you who haven't
noticed, baseball's playoffs have
had some of the most exciting
games in recent years, and with
the teams in baseball's version of
the final four this trend will con-
tinue.
Cleveland dominated Boston as
they slugged out a 3-0 sweep of
the team that is still cursed by the
"Great Bambino". The Red
Sox's dream season ended in hor-
ror as their big guns Mo Vaughn
and Jose Canseco couldn't hit
their way out of a wet paper bag.
The Tribes pitchers continued
to be consistent while the bats
stayed as hot as a Jack Davis
workout in the middle of a
wrestling season. Look for the
Indians to struggle against the
"comeback kids".
The Seattle Mariners came back
from a 2-0 deficit against the
Yanks. With the power of Ken
Griffey Jr. and baseballs best hit-
ter in Edgar Martinez, the M's
could give the Tribe fits. The
Indians have more pitching depth
and that very well may be the key
to moving on to the World Series.
Over in the NL, the Dodgers
proved to be no match for the
Reds as the timely hitting of
Cincinnati sent L.A. surfing at
the California beaches.
But, does it really matter? Does
anyone actually think that the
Reds can beat the Braves? Get
real, the Braves will stomp the
new "Big Red Machine" and
have some time off before they
meet their AL foe in the series.
I'm only stopping here to check
on the rumor that Bill Cowher is
in Clarion to ask Malen Luke to
explain what an offense really is.

Referendum vote could happen in November
Proposed recreation center cost estimated at $5 million
by Mary Beth Curry
News Editor
A referendum vote on a
additional student fee to
sponsor the proposed rec
center could happen as early as
mid-November.
The estimated amount of the
new fee is between $85 and
$90.
The feasibility study on the
project, which was conducted
last semester, reached
completion this summer and
has given the recreation center
committee the proper
background to inform students.
The student body will be told
of the work of the committee
as well as the results of the
feasibility study by booklets
and informational open forums
with recreation center experts.
The booklet will be similar
to the one published when the
Gemmell Student Center
project was in the developing
stages.
The publishing will be done
on campus, in order to save
money.
The reasons given by Clarion
University administrators,to have
the informational campaign,
were to help incoming freshman
gain knowledge on the proposed
project
The Student Senate athletics
committee, chaired by Karen
Carlson, has begun work on the
information distribution.
Three basketball courts, a
running/walking track, an
aerobics and dance room, as well
as a climbing wall are all
included in the plans for the
proposed center.
These facilities could not be
used for intercollegiate play,
because the basketball courts
will not be the official length of
those used for games. Also,
everything featured in the
proposal would be at no

majority of the building program. Bottom

additional fee to students for use,
and entirely separate from the
gymnasium.
"Rather than giving more
space to the athletes in Tippen,
the rec center would give
everyone else some place," said
Dave Tomeo, Director of
Gemmell.
"Much of the gymnasium is
locked up by the athletic
department and Health Physical
Education classes. The rec center
would allow us to fulfill the
needs of more students who do
not participate in athletics," he
said.
If the vote passes, the rec
center plan must go to a vote by
the Board of Governors.
According to the results of the
study, the proposed rec center
project would be approximately
$5 million dollars. The money
to pay for construction would
come in the form of a floating
bond which would be paid off
over an undetermined amount of
time.
According to Tomeo, the most
likely site for the center would
be close to the Gemmell Student
Complex.
Originally, the recreation
center committee had planned on
building a parking lot under the
center in order to address student
concerns.
However, the cost proved to
be to extreme, and the idea has
been abandoned.
The university has instead
investigated other possible sites
for new parking lots.
In one proposal for the center,
the university would receive
more parking than before with
the rec center.

OPINION
Editorial
Suicide is no
joke!
CO
(D
Founds
I've decided to write something
that is very serious and I feel
needs to be addressed. I am not
writing this to get anyone upset,
only to let people know how
close it can hit home and how
disturbing it can be to family and
friends.
I am talking about suicide and
the effects it has not only on the
victim attempting the act, but
those who know and who are
close to that person.
If you have ever known anyone
with suicidal tendancies, or who
are experiencing stress, depres-
sion, and feel there's no other
way out: there is. There are so
many other options and other
ways to try to help them or your-
self.
Talk to friends and let them try
to help, if you feel it's out of your
hands, there are counseling ser-
vices offered through the school,
and in your community.
It is so sad when people reach a
point where they feel there is no
other options but to terminate
their own life.
I can recall back to when I was
in the seventh grade. There was
another student who was con-
stantly bullied and teased by a
fellow student. He was picked on
and made fun of so much, he
finally reached a point where he
couldn't handle it anymore.
The kid who bullied him around
wasn't your everyday "tough
guy" bully. He actually threat-
ened the kid by saying, "If you
don't kill yourself, I will." To
make a long story short, the
mother and sister of the boy who
was bullied around returned
home to find his body hanging
from a rope attached to the chin-
up bar in his bedroom doorway.
I can remember how morbid the
school was for days and even
weeks after his funeral. Needless
to say, the bully left school and
was never heard from again.
So many people were affected
by this, including a close friend
of mine who was his next door
neighbor and old friend.
Although this topic is unnerv-
ing, people need to be aware and
alert of the signs of a suicidal
person. There are always other
alternatives, and people must
acknowledge them, otherwise the
consequences could be devastat-
ing.
Please watch out for the signs

Hi again Clarionites!! Fall is in
and that means.. .holiday season!!!
Most of you are probably planning
Halloween parties and
Thanksgiving break. Some of you
might even be buying X-mas
gifts!! Interestingly many coun-
tries around the world consider fall
and winter as holiday season.
As I believe that basic nature of
humans is to strive for happiness
and peace, I think the holiday sea-
son is the so-called "depressing
season" of the year. I can speak of
the country I come from. Let me
tell you how Indians make autumn
colorful, and what they do on the
darkest night of the season...
It is the brightest night of the
year. The dark of the night is sub-
dued by thousands of oil lamps
and electric lights. Every minute
thousands of sounds of fireworks
give a sense of exuberance. Happy
faces of all ages greet each other.
All of India is decked up like a
bride. For it is Deepawali, the
biggest festival of Hindus.
India can well be known as the
land of festivals. Every two weeks
there is a festival. But nothing
evokes an upsurge of festivity like
Deepawali, for it is many festivals
rolled into one. Many days prior to
Deepawali, a series of festivals
occur, leading ultimately to its
pompous celebration.
What Christmas is to Christians,
Id is to Muslims, Diwali is to
Hindus. Deepawali, commonly
known as Diwali is a contraction
of two words, Deep (meaning "oil

lamp") and Awali (meaning
"row"). It can be best translated in
English as "Festival of lights."
Di wall's date like most Hindu
festivals, is determined by the
phase of the moon which is esti-
mated by using the traditional
Hindu calendar called, panting
(the five limbs to time). Panting is
completely filled with astrological
charts, auspicious dates and
instructions for religious perfor-
mances. Time comes to Hindus not
as a series of bland unwritten days,
but fully endowed with differenti-
ating qualities and attributes.
Like all Indian festivals, cele-
brations for Diwali has a history
behind it. Every ceremony related
to it has a specific connotation.
One aspect of Hinduisim that is
very confusing for westerners is
the concept of myriad of gods and
deities. Hinduism has its roots in
Indus valley civilization, one of
the first civilizations of the world.
At the time people feared all the
natural forces, and regarded them
as gods. Personification of all the
natural forces like air, fire, water,
rain and various emotional attrib-
utes like love, brought initiation of
numerous gods.
The chief story of Diwali
emerges from Ramayana, which,
along with Mahabharata, is the one
of the two great Indian epics. Both
epics have left a great impact on
every Hindu. They can be paral-
leled to Illiad and Odyssey.
Hindus cite hundreds of exam-
ples in routine life from their char-
acters to prove their righteousness.
Ramayana, meaning "the adven-
ture of Rama" is the story of
Rama's life. He is said to be the
seventh avatar (God incarnate) of
Vishnu the preserver, (one of the
three gods that combine to make
Trinity another being: Brahma the
creator, Shiva the destroyer).
Vishnu is a god of love and, like
Christ, takes a human form to
overcome evil. Hindus believe that
salvation can be earned by bhakti
(loving devotion to god). Chief
avatars of Vishnu are Rama and
Krishna.
Thus all incarnations of Vishnu
are considered, the protagonists of
different ages. In Ramayana,
Rama who is heir to the throne of
a kingdom in northern India, is
unjustly banished to a forest by his
stepmother. He is followed by his
loyal wife, Sita and half brother
Lakshman. Subsequently Sita is
kidnapped by the demon Ravana
(symbol of lust) and taken to Sri
Lanka. Rama raises a large army
with the help of the monkey god
Hanuman, who has become a sym-
bol of loyalty. Hanuman's mon-
keys build a causeway from India
to Sri Lanka over which the army
marches to give battle to Ravana,
and rescue Sita.
It is in the gratitude to Hanuman
that Hindus today consider mon-
keys to be virtually sacred, and
permit them to live lives of ease,
devouring fruits in the temples. To
Hindus, Rama who nearly always
acts with righteousness and nobili-
ty is the ideal man, and Sita is the
ideal woman. Saying "Rama-
Rama" or "Sita Rama" has become
a common way of greeting and is
especially used for the elderly and
the revered saints. When Mahatma
Gandhi fell mortally wounded by
his assassins he murmured, "Hai
Ram, Hai Ram" (O Rama, O
Rama)
The day Rama killed demon
Ravana is celebrated as Dusshera
or Vijay Dashmi (victorious tenth,
since it falls on the tenth day of
Ashwina (September-October).
Ten days before Dusshera life of
Rama (Rama Lila) is staged in all
towns and cities. Many profession-
al theater groups make their living
performing Rama Lila in different
parts of India all through the year.
On Dusshera as huge effigies of
Ravana filled with firecrackers
explode, people rejoice in the tri-
umph of good over evil. It took
Rama twenty days to come from
Sri Lanka to Ayodhya (Now in
Northern Indian state of uttsr
Pradesh).
The intriguing part is the belief
that Rama along with his wife Sita,
brother Lakshman, and Hanuman
is said to have flown from Sri
Lanka to Ayodhya in a flying char-
iot controlled by will. People of a
Ayodhya lit all the roads, houses
and temples of the city with the
lamps to light the way for their
king.
Since then lighting the cities and
towns on the amayasya of
Kartikka, came to be known as
Diwali. According to Panchanga it
is said to have taken place about
one million and three hundred
years ago. Diwali this years is the
23rd of Oct. you don't have to be a
Hindu to light a candle on every
amavasya and believe eventually
good will win over evil, light over
darkness and knowledge over
ignorance!! Happy Diwali!!

The homosexuality debate:
"If this is not a lifestyle you wish to embrace, don't
Dear Editor,
>*
It never ceases to amaze me
how many ignorant people there
are left in the world. Many
received an e-mail message from
LaVieta Lerch on October 11,
National Coming Out Day for
gays, lesbians, and bisexuals.
Ms. Lerch wishes to form a
Heterosexual Sexuality Club
(HSC) because she is promoting
violence, hatred, ignorance, and
bigotry toward homosexuals.
Ms. Lerch wishes to know why
we do not keep our sexuality to
ourselves. Why should we? She
states that heterosexuals do not
openly discuss their sexuality.
That is simply untrue.
I often hear that statement
from straight people, and ask
them to imagine just one day
when they do not discuss their
partner's, take all of their
pictures down, remove all of
their jewelry,. u,se noti-gender
specific pronouns in discussion,
and when someone asked if they
are seeing someone, to simply
look at them and lie. That
should not be difficult at all.
Why should you want to share
your happiness with others
anyway?
Ms. Lerch hopes to "promote
heterosexuality" through her
HSC. Excuse me, but do you
have enough white hoods to go
around for all of your members?
We do not promote our sexuality,
we simply discuss it with those
who Want to know more. We do
not lie about it I have been on
this campus for three years, and I
will not lie about my sexual
preference. But I do not push or
pressure others to engage in
homosexual practices.
Homosexuality is not a cult. It is
a life.
Many people ask questions,
and I simply answer those that I
feel comfortable answering. So
why does Ms. Lerch feel the
need to "promote
heterosexuality". Is she afraid
that we will be spreading some
type of epidemic? She claims it
is not "normal." In my opinion,
that word should be taken out of
our language. Who defines
normal? The majority? If that is
true, tell me and others why our
feelings are so natural to us.
I have never been as happy in
my life as I am now, out of the
closet and in love with a
wonderful woman.
Homosexuality is not a
"variation of lifestyle," as Ms.
Lerch puts it, but a life: my life
and many others around me. So
you and your members of the
HSC, Ms. Lerch, only promote
hatred and ignorance through
your organization. And,
although Ms. Lerch is afraid that
we are "offensive to decency,"
she and her organization are
actually the indecent ones.
We are also urged to "tell the
whole story." What story? We
are gay. Period. Do you want us
to say that we have been
molested and raped? That we
eat and molest small children?
That our parents were not decent
parents or that they abandoned
us? Many of us have had
dysfunctional types, of lives, but
so have heterosexuals.
Therefore, that argument can be
thrown out. It is also an
argument that we have not found
God and that is why we do what
we do.
The religious argument against
us is often used. I simply say
this: not everyone has the same
God, therefore, God cannot be
used as a basis for a universal
morality. Furthermore, Ms.
Lerch, we do not keep our
information a secret, as you
claim. There is just no more to
tell than that we are gay. Why
do you feel the need to
understand us anyway? Maybe
we don't understand the
heterosexual community. I just
do not know what you mean by
"the whole story." Why do
straights act the way they do?
Because it feels natural, of
course. It does for us too.
Finally, Ms. Lerch states that
she does not wish to "invoke
anger from the homosexual
community" because it is "the
practice we condemn and not the
people." What is that supposed
to mean? We are defined by our
behavior, just as other minority

The homosexuality debate:
organization such as Allies does
not promote hatred of others, but
pride among gays, lesbians, and
bisexuals. And why should the
university not give funding to
hear speakers, i.e. Bob and Rod
Jackson-Paris, who came last
year to celebrate National
Coming Out Day?
A university is an academic
institution, but it is also a place
of diversity. It is a place where
people of all cultures and beliefs
come together and learn about
themselves. Clarion is where I
realized my sexuality, and it is
here that I have come to accept
myself and be proud.
Academics is the foundation of
Clarion, but students leave here
with a lot more than that; they
leave with a knowledge of
themselves.
National Coming Out Day is a
day of celebration. We celebrate
the day we have overcome the
violence and ignorance of our
society.
We have found ourselves and
have unleashed ourselves from
the closet of fear. We refuse to
let society place stigmas and
labels on us. The world is built
along the majority, and if you
don't conform to its principles,
you simply do not "fit in." Who
cares? Nothing ever changes in
a world where people conform. I
celebrate everyday of my life
discussing myself to those who
ask, and not lying about myself
when people ask me if I am gay.
A word to homosexuals: What
Ms. Lerch feels is common
among people. But you do not
need to let hatred keep you
afraid and closeted; you do not
need to listen. The first step is to
make yourselves aware of who
you are and why you believe
what you do. Coming out is a
slow and continuing process, but
it begins within yourself. As
Socrates said, "know thyself."
From there, no one can hurt or
bash you again because they are
just simply wrong.

"Why don't GLB's tell the whole story?"
Dear Editor
This letter is partly in response
to the so-called "national
coming-out day" we were told
about last week, and a response
to a letter conveniently written in
the last paper of the Spring
semester. It was in the Clarion
Call May 4, 1995 in the Hide
Park called "For My Brother" by
Dr. Spina.
The emphasis of the article
was that this lifestyle is "normal
and natural." In addition, the
article insinuated that somehow
homosexuals are better people
because they can be better
counselors for men and women.
We were told in an e-mail
message, to everyone on
campus, about the so called
"national coming out day" to
wear jeans and engage in
conversations with others to the
degree we are comfortable,
therefore I am engaging
conversation.
If they want to practice
homosexuality, why don't they
keep it to themselves?
Heterosexuals don't "celebrate"
a "coming-out-of-the-bedroom"
day and "carry on conversations"
about their personal sexuality.
Why should GLBs? If they feel
they absolutely must call
attention to themselves why
don't they wear something that
will make a statement such as an
arm band or ribbon in the color
of their choice?
What is the purpose of using a
symbol that is an every day part
of most people's wardrobe?
That is like saying the
heterosexual faculty is
sponsoring a "promote
heterosexuality day" by all
faculty not holding classes on
Friday, October 13. Therefore,
any faculty who are not holding
classes on this Friday are
heterosexual. (It is absurd
because there are no classes
scheduled to be held.)
Or perhaps we should say
everyone who is opposed to e-
mail messages promoting
homosexuals, lesbians, and
bisexuals should wear shoes on
Wednesday and we can infer that
everyone across campus that we
see wearing shoes is indeed
opposed to these types of
messages!
I have questions about this
"lifestyle." Why don't GLBs tell
the whole story? As they
promote this lifestyle as
"normal," why don't they tell
what it really is about? Why
don't they tell us about this
"variation" of lifestyle? A well
known author documented in a
book the norm of this lifestyle.
The author quoted from books
written by homosexuals and
from conversations with
homosexuals, so the things
written are not just opinions of
someone who does not know the
facts.
I apologize ahead of time if I
offend anyone. I do realize that,

Three indicted on cocaine charges
A federal grand jury indicted two New york men and one woman
Tuesday in what is believed to be the largest single United States
seizure of crack cocaine, said U.S. Attorney David M. Barasch and
state Attorney General Thomas Corbett.
Barasch and Corbett announced Tuesday that Raquel Rosario,
Domingo Sanchez and Radhames Taveras -- all of New York City -
- were arrested Oct. 6 after a police search of their bus yielded 12
kilograms of the drug.
The crack is worth an estimated $2.4 million.
"From what I'm told by the DEA (Drug Enforcement
Administration) in El Paso, Texas.... this is the largest seizure even
in the U.S.," Corbett said.
Columbia launch slotted for Friday
NASA will try Friday for the seventh time to launch space
shuttle Columbia on a laboratory-research mission.
NASA could have tried to launch Columbia on Thursday, but
that plan was scrapped when an unmanned Atlas rocket failed to
blast off Tuesday because of high wind. The Atlas launch slipped
to today and Columbia was moved to Friday morning.

Letters to
the Editor Cont
Does our parking permit have any value?
Dear Madam:
We are writing to express our
extreme displeasure with the
parking program at Clarion
University. We understand that
possessing a parking permit does
not guarantee us a parking space
on campus, but we do expect our
permits to give us a reasonable
chance to park. This has not
been the case this semester.
We question the university's
reasoning in issuing so many
parking permits. Obviously,
more permits are issued than
spaces are available because not
every student is on campus at the
same time. However, most
students are on campus during
ii
peak times (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.).
Our point is that the number of
permits issued should have been
limited.
This is the fourth university
that either my wife or I have
attended during our educational
pursuits. This is the first time
we have ever experienced
parking problems like this.
Every other university has the
same policy of not guaranteeing
a parking space, but CUP is the
first campus we have ever had to
be concerned about obtaining
parking spaces.
When IUP constructed a
building recently and had to
close over half of the adjacent
parking lot, they at least had
adequate parking elsewhere and
provided a shuttle bus to the
university. In fact, they did not
even charge for parking permits!
For a university that is
attempting to increase
enrollment, the obvious lack of
concern for student issues, such
as parking, is hard to
comprehend.
We feel like the piece of plastic
hanging from our rear-view
mirrors is worthless. Too bad we
can't obtain a refund... we could
use the money for parking meters
off campus.
Sincerely,
Matthew J. Wolbert

are. In one major aspect,
America's homohaters have, like
the proverbial blind pig, rooted
up the truffle of the truth: the
gay lifestyle — not our sexuality,
but our lifestyle is the pits."
Why don't they tell us about
the practices that cause them to
land in the hospital to have
removed from the rectum dead
gerbils, light bulbs, vegetables
such as zucchinis and cucumbers
that have already started
fermenting, Coke bottles, dildos,
vibrators, shaving cream cans,
plaster of Paris, or in a
documented case, a 3 inch by 12
inch plastic tool box with the
tools still inside.
Why don't they tell us of the
percentages of those who have or
have had hepatitis, venereal
disease, intestinal parasites,
intestinal pathogens, chronic
infections, ulcers and oozing
blisters in or, around the
intestinal tracts, including the
mouth and rectum, genital
herpes, anal warts, colitis,
enormous injuries from violent,
sadistic sex, AIDS. Why don't
they tell everyone the meaning
of fisting, golden showers, and
scatting. Much of gay sex is
sadistic, masochistic,
promiscuous, hedonistic,
contemptuous, anonymous,
unhygienic in the extreme
variety. Gays hurt each other
and themselves. One does not
have to moralize about the
lightness or wrongness of gay
male sexual behavior. These are
noj_exceptions, they are
common. As unbelievable as all
this sounds, I didn't make this
stuff up. It has been documented
by homosexuals who have been
there. It has been documented
by doctors in hospitals. And
we're asked to accept this
lifestyle as normal!?! No
wonder God called it depraved
and shameful.
Homosexuality simply is not a
normal lifestyle, but the only
way they can get us to accept
their lifestyle is to keep this
information a secret. Young
vulnerable minds have a right to
know everything they are getting
into. I leave you, the reader, to
discern if this is a Htestyie we
should embrace!
I realize I may invoke anger
from the homosexual
community. I do not intend to
offend but if they insist on this
in-your-face attitude, of a special
day, a special month, etc. Then
lets hear the full story of what
exactly it is we are being asked
to "celebrate." I want to be
careful that everyone
understands that it is the practice
I condemn and not the people. I
do not hate, fear, or ridicule
homosexuals. I personally don't
understand why they wish to
choose this type of behavior and
I don't understand why they
want to legitimize this practice.
But most of all I don't
understand why this is pushed on
the rest of us in the form of e-
mail announcements, seminars
sponsoring speakers, etc. I don't
understand why money is given
to promote a sexual lifestyle.
Let's put our money into
academics. That is what we are
here for.

University prepares for the future
Master plan in the works for Clarion University
by Laura Guido
News Yfriter
Clarion University's Facilities
Planning Committee began the
process for a facilities master
plan last year.
Many colleges and universities
have such a plan already. This
prompted the university to begin
one also.
The facilities master plan is
designed to provide a complete
assessment of all facilities and
their utilization.
It will prioritize possible
improvements to campus facili-
ties. In addition, it will provide
information on ways to imple-
ment them.
It will also give an overview as
to what direction Clarion
University should be taking in
order to reach goals for the
future.
Two major focuses that will be
addressed are the problems
involved with campus parking
and issues dealing with resi-
dence halls.
In order to reach the goals set
forth by the plan, the University
issued a request for interest in
master planning services.
The request was issued in July.
Several firms were contacted by

needs of the university.
Twenty- six firms responded to
the request, including the top five
firms in the country that are asso-
ciated with this kind of planning.
The list of firms has been nar-
rowed to three.
The next step is to invite the
firms to the university.
They will be required to make
a presentation to the Facilities
Planning Committee. Also, the
President's Executive Council,
and other interested parties will
also be afforded the opportunity
to hear the presentations.
After the presentations have
been completed one of the firms
will be chosen to do the planning
for Clarion University.
The rest of the process is con-
tingent on hiring a firm, but the
administration hopes that the
planning work will be able to
begin as early as January of 1996.
Once started the actual work of
the master plan is expected to
take as long as three years.
The firm will be asked
to review a broad range of areas.
Their efforts will involve many
groups at the university and are
hoped to aid as many Clarion
University students as possible.

Study shows top of the class students cheat more
Courtesy of College Press
Service
AUSTIN, Texas- University of
Texas seniors are three times
more likely to commit academic
dishonesty than freshmen, and
students with high grade point
averages are caught cheating
more often than students with
low GPA's, according to a report.
According to the study, entitled,
"Statistical Report of
Disciplinary Cases 1993-1994,"
seniors accounted for 38 percent
of UT students' academic viola-
tions while making up 32 percent
of the student body. Juniors
came in second, accounting for
28 percent of violations, though
they made up only 15 percent of
the student body.
"According to all national stud-
ies [academic dishonesty] is pret-
ty widespread," said Kevin
Price, assistant dean for Judicial
Services in the Office of Dean
Students. He added that, at the
University, "70 percent of stu-
dents admit to some form of aca-
demic dishonesty."
The report also states that stu-
dents with GPA's from 3.00 to
3.99 account for 43.10 percent of
academic violations, followed
closely by students with GPAs
from 2.00 to 2.99, who account
for 38.79 percent Those with
under a 2.00 GPA accounted for
only 9/48 percent of violations.
Students with a 4.00 GPA totaled
3.45 percent of violations.
First-semester students account-
ed for 5.17 percent of all academ-
ic violations.
Student Judicial Services, which
handles all student disciplinary
referrals, released the report last
year.
Price said that academic dis-
honesty accusations made up 20
percent of their 775 cases during
the 1994-95 school year. That is
compared to 116 cases during the
1993-94 school year.
"I think everybody cheats once
in a while," said a biology junior
who wished to remain anony-
mous. »« •
The student said that his tech-
nique is to write cheat notes on a
pair of pants and wear a long
shirt out and over them.
Other students said, aside from
the occasional glance at a fellow
student's test, they rarely cheat.
Brian Gomez, a psychology
junior, said while he does not
cheat, he has seen others use their
feet and their brains to get the
deed done.
"One student had [the cheat
sheet] taped to the bottom of his
shoe," Gomez said.
Academic dishonesty is punish-
able by a variety of penalties,
depending on the severity of the
infraction, Price said. Penalties
range from the student's having
to retake the test or assignment in
question to suspension from the
university.
Gender, race, and nationality
also played a role in academic
dishonesty, according to the
study.
Cases involving male students
occurred with more than three
times the frequency of female
student cases, according to the
report.
Caucasian students accounted
for 29 percent of the alleged vio-
lations, while Asian-Americans
were next with 21.55 percent.
Hispanics accounted for 10.34
percent of the office's cases and
African-Americans committed
6.90 percent of the alleged viola-
tions. Foreign students had the
largest number of academic vio-
lation cases; 32 percent.
Price stressed that the figures
are for the 1993-94 school year
and that they represent reported
cases. Many more instances
could have gone unreported, and
many students probably were not
caught, he added.
"Something may look interest-
ing but not necessarily be reali-
ty," Price said of the figures. He
added that "I've had some people
say, 'Oh, he's not cheating, he's a
four-point [grade point average]
student,' and that's not necessari-
ly true."

Jason Karolak of New Castle
and Renae Kluk of South Fork
both qualified for the
Bloomsburg University
Forensics Competition.
The competition for first year
forensics competitors attracted
26 colleges from Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Indiana, New York, and
Connecticut.
Also among participants are
representatives from the Ivy
League schools of Brown,
Cornell, and Penn.
Karolak participated in persua-
sion and impromptu.

and took sixth overall to qualify
for nationals.
In the impromptu portion, the
speaker is given seven minutes to
prepare a speech on a given topic.
Karolak placed in the top 20
percent of the 120 students
involved and was presented with
a Certificate of Outstanding
Achievement for ranking in the
top 20 percent.
Kluk also competed in two
events: prose selected piece and
poetry selected piece.
The categories are similar, with
each participant selecting a piece
and given ten minutes to deliver
it
There were 96 entries in the
prose category with Kluk quali-
fying for the first semi-final
round and finishing in sixth place
in the finals to qualify for nation-
als.
There were 50 competitors in
the poetry portion, with Kluk
receiving a Certificate of
Outstanding Achievement for
ranking in the top 20 per-
cent.
The national championships are
scheduled for April at Western
Illinois Univeristy.
LIFESTYLES
Showgirls Star Says She's Comfortable Baring it All
by Ian Spelling Courtesy of
College Press Service
"Showgirls."
It's the hottest, hippest, fleshi-
est, most controversial film to
come along in ages. And its star,
Elizabeth Berkley, is loving
every single second of it. "I
worked on the film for the last
year of my life. I worked every
single second," recalls Berkley.
"Since we finished, I was in
Cannes for the film festival, then
in Europe to promote it, and now
here. It's been like having a
baby, waiting for people to get to
see it Now it's finally here, and
it's very exciting."
On this day, Berkley is dolled
up in skin-tight suede pants and a
snug floral top, and her blonde
curls are piled up high. As come-
ly as she appears in person during
an interview at a Manhattan
hotel, it's a far cry from the out-
fits, or lack thereof, she sports in
"Showgirls."
Explaining the film's plot in
detail would be a punishable
waste of trees. Berkley plays
Nomi, a woman who arrives in
Las Vegas intent on graduating
from lap dancer to showgirl at the
Stardust, one of the Strip's most
popular clubs. Alternately stand-
ing in her way and guiding her up
the ladder of success are Zack
(Kyle MacLachlan), the
Stardust's entertainment director,
and Cristal (Gina Gershon), the
reigning Stardust dance diva who
loves, lusts for, and loathes
Nomi.
"Nomi struck me because it's
so rare that a movie explores a
woman on a journey to find her
power, whether it be through her
sexuality, intellect, or both," said
Berkley. "Many filmmakers
aren't interested in exploring that
kind of journey. A lot of women
will identify with her, because
whether you're a secretary or a
lawyer, you can relate to her pas-
sion. Nomi's passion is dancing.
She'll stop at nothing to achieve
her goals. She doesn't obey other
people's rules, she controls her
own destiny, iuis cnaiaiwi
could have been in any time. She
just happens to be in the 1990's,
where the sexual culture is
changing so rapidly and these
clubs are becoming more wide-
spread and acceptable.
Berkley reports that she knew
full well what she was getting
into when she was offered the
possibly star making role of
Nomi. She realized she'd be
speaking the less-than-subtle
words of Joe Eszterhas and
would be put through her paces
by push-the-envelope-director
Paul Verhoeven. She understood
that she'd spend most of her on-
camera time dancing, naked, or
dancing naked. "I trusted Paul.
The women in his films are
always strong and make their
own decisions," she argues. "His
vision of Nomi and mine really
connected, so he allowed me the
freedom to play her as I wanted
to play her. As for the nudity and
sex, I actually got more comfort-
able doing them than the scenes
where I was clothed, I just got
comfortable in my G-string, and
clothes became a nuisance.
Elizabeth Berkley (Nomi) and Kyle MacLachlan (Zack) star in "Showgirls," on eof the sea-
sons hottest and most controversial films.
"This was the first time I ever
had to do nudity, and it was inter-
esting. There was something
powerful about doing a scene
topless with another actor.
You're completely vulnerable,
but at the same time you have no
inhibitions, so it can be kind of
fun, too. I was a bit nervous at
first, but I gradually got acclimat-
ed to it. It was also necessary to
do if I was going to do the char-
acter justice."
Though she has since been to
the premiere, and even saw
"Showgirls" with her family,
Berkley first viewed the film at a
private screening arranged for
her by Verhoeven. She describes
sitting in a room, and, being a
perfectionist and her "own worst
enemy," finding the experience
rather emotional. After a while
though, she detached herself
enough to get lost in the story and
watch the film as objectively as
and controversial. It's going to
evoke different reactions. All I
can say is, see it before you make
any judgments. Imaginations run
so wild with this stuff.
Everyone's comfort level with
their own sexuality is so diverse,
and that'll come into play here,
too. The people who might be
scared by the NC-17 rating are
probably the same ones who will
be the first to see the film. If
you're completely offended by
the whole thing, fine. Don't go.
It's your choice. I just think that,
sometimes, what scares people
also turns them on."
Berkley can't cite any one thing
that turned her on to acting.
Relocating from her native
Michigan to L.A. and New York,
Berkley studied and modeled for
the Elite agency to help pay the
bills. She subsequently landed
acting jobs, and was soon per-
forming on stage and in TV
by
opened wonderful opportunities
for me" she concludes. "I just
hope people respond to my work.
People in the industry have been
really respectful. I want to keep
working in features and working
with people who inspire me to
give the best performance I can,
who push me to a place I maybe
haven't been before. If all of that
starts to happen because of
"Showgirls," I'd be thrilled."

Fun in the Heartland of America by Dave Barry
It was Saturday night in the
beer tent, which is where every-
body goes after the day's festivi-
ties at the annual Broom Corn
Festival in Areola, 111. A group of
us guys were standing around,
shouting snippets of conversation
over the din of the band, when we
saw a man's naked rear end
advancing toward us through the
crowd. The owner of the rear end
was walking backward and bend-
ing over, so we couldn't see his
head or upper body — just a dis-
embodied, naked butt shuffling
our way.
Next to us, a group of women
suddenly noticed the oncoming
butt To say they were startled
would be an understatement.
"Look!" they gasped, pointing
at the butt. "He's ... He's ...
It's..."
"It's OK!" We assured them.
"It's only Ranger Reeder!"
Ranger Doug Reeder is a mem-
ber of an organization I belong
to, the World Famous Lawn
Ranger Precision Lawn Mower
Drill Team. It was founded 15
years ago by some guys in
Areola, a small central-Illinois
town that each fall hosts the
Broom Corn Festival, a celebra-
tion of the glory years when
Areola was leading producer of
the corn that used to make broom
bristles. The highlight of the fes-

tival is the Broom Corn parade,
and the most elite marching unit
in the parade, as measured in per
capita consumption of keg-
dwelling beverages, is the Lawn
Rangers.
When you talk about dedicated
service organizations — when
you talk about decency, integrity
and leadership — you are not
talking about the Lawn Rangers.
We are not one of those organiza-
tions — and here I am thinking of
our arch-enemies, the Shriners —
that try to justify their existence
by occasionally doing something
useful. What we do is push lawn
mowers and carry brooms. At
various points along the parade
route, we stop and astonish the
crowd by performing broom-and
-lawn-mower maneuvers with a
level of smooth precision that
you rarely see outside of train
wrecks.
I've marched with the Lawn
Rangers in four Broom Corn
Parades now. My friends ask me
why I keep going back, but when
I try to explain it ("We're pushing
lawn mowers, see, and we're
wearing masks, and we're toss-
ing brooms, and ...") it just
sounds stupid. This is, of course,
because it IS stupid. But it's
more than that: it is also
extremely immature.
I refer here to what goes on dur-
ing Ranger Orientation, which
takes place before the parade in
Ranger Ted Shields' garage. This
is where we Rangers get our-
selves into peak physical and
mental condition by consuming
refreshing beverages and a scien-
tific training diet of bratwurst;
this is also where we teach our
precision maneuvers to the rook-
ie Rangers via a brutal training
regimen that can last as long as
five minutes. And above all, this
is where we hold the Ranger
Business Meeting, which could
well be the single most tasteless
annual event in America, sur-
passing even Christmas retail
season.
Two years ago, the governor of
Illinois, who was running for re-
election, showed up at the
Business Meeting, apparently
thinking it was a coiiection of
normal voters. As he approached
us, he realized that he had made a
huge mistake and stopped, with
his mouth maintaining a rigid
professional smile, but his eyes
revealing the stark terror of a
politician who realizes that he's
in danger of being photographed
shaking hands with, for example,
a man wearing a hat festooned
with a lifelike replica of the male
anatomical unit.
The governor left quickly,
which meant he missed the
Business Meeting, including the
much-anticipated performance
by Ranger Reeder. Out of respect
for a fellow Ranger, I am not
going to comment upon Ranger
Reeder's mental state, except to
say that he has the kind of pene-
trating stare and intense smile
that would make him a prize win-
ning recruit for the U.S. Postal
Service, if you get my drift.
He is a legend among the
Rangers. Each year — this is the
highlight of the Business
Meeting — he gets up a ladder,
turns his back to the audience,
and presents an EXTREMELY
explicit dramatic rendition, using
props, Of a song or poem involv-
ing the word "moon." Each year
his performance gets more elabo-
rate; this year, it concluded with
actual fireworks shooting out of a
tube that was... Well. I can't tell
you where the tube was, except to
say we were all amazed that
Ranger Reeder did not require
medical treatment. But he
showed no ill effects, and was in
„ that ninht in th*s hMff
5>UJ*,1U iWm uiai lugut mi J«C l" 6 "
tent, where he continued to per-
sonify the "moon" theme by
backing slowly through the
crowd. Every now and then
you'd look down, and there
would be Ranger Reeder, serving
as a proud symbol of
Rangerhood, making the rest of
us proud to be part of this crack
(rim shot) outfit
For the next solid year,
American voters are going to be
relentlessly hounded by presiden-
tial contenders, all of whom are
going to assure us that they rep-
resent mainstream, heartland val-
ues. I say to those candidates:
Maybe not everybody in the
heartland has exactly the same
values. Maybe it would broaden
your perspective to come to
Areola next fall, march with the
Rangers, hang out in the beer
tent, watch Ranger Reeder in
action. He would make an awe-
some secretary of state.
CUP Recognizes Disabilities Awareness Week
Courtesy of University
Relations
CUP is observing National
Disabilities Awareness through
Oct. 21, with a series of events
sponsored by Clarion University
People Reaching Out and
Understanding Disabilities .
P.R.O.U.D. members opened
the week on Oct. 16 by distribut-
ing blue ribbons to students and
employees. The ribbons symbol-
ize support and awareness of the
needs of people with disabilities.
Internationally recognized
authority on higher education and
disability, Richard Harris of Ball
State University, presented two
programs on Oct. 17, co-spon-
sored by the Presidential
Commission on Disabilities and
the United Community
Independent Programs. On
Tuesday, he presented
"Disability Humor Pros and
Cons" in Gemmell.
Harris used a collection of car-
toons and jokes form the past 20
years in his program. Although
irreverent in nature, Harris has
discovered that such items have
the potential to advance the cause
of societal inclusion of people
with disabilities.
At 7:30 p.m. in Hart Chapel,
Harris presented "The Splendid
Deception" dealing with
President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
paralyzed by polio in 1921. The
program examines FDR's life
and political career both before
and after the on-set of his disabil-
ity and the "deception" and the
tacit agreement between himself
and the American people his dis-
ability to such an extent that only
two known photos of FDR in a
wheelchair exist
An exhibit was presented from
10 a.m. -4 p.m. on Wednesday in
Gemmell. The exhibit featured
such items as glasses which give
the wearer the impression of
visual impairment and a wheel-
chair.
Jason Tweed, will lead discus-
sion "Interaction With People
With Disabilities" on Thurs., Oct.
19, at 7 p.m. in Carter
Auditorium in Still . Tweed is an
associate with Tweed Weber Inc.,
a home health care industry
research firm, and is executive
director of Colleges That Enable.
The week will conclude on
Friday with the P.R.O.U.D. bene-
fit concert in Marwick-Boyd
Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. There is
a $3 admission fee and students
with a valid ID are admitted free.
Scheduled to perform are the
CUP Concert Choir, Jazz Band,
Madrigal Singers, and Dance
Repertoire class, along with
Valerie Schill, who qualified for
the Miss Pennsylvania pageant as
Miss Clarion County in 1995.
Pending availability, the new
Miss Teen Autumn Leaf Festival
and Miss Clarion County will
also perform at the concert.

CUP Student Gives Back to the Community
by Bobbi Russell
Lifestyles Editor
The Clarion County Literacy
Council offers a variety of volun-
teer opportunities in tutoring and
in helping the community mem-
bers. One CUP student is taking
full advantage of those opportu-
nities and, in turn, giving back to
the community. Christina Moore
is a Senior Elementary Education
major. She became involved in
tutoring through the Volunteers
for Literacy Program that was
previously offered on campus.
She completed 40 hours of active
training to earn her certificate
and has now tutored for two
semesters.
As an Elementary Education
major, tutoring helped with
Christina's people skills. Also,
• ., ■
she re-learned basic skills, such
as math, and learned how to teach
them to others. Volunteering is
also a good way to help the com-
munity without putting in class
time. Christina started out with
one student and worked up to as
many as five. Depending on a
tutor's personal ability, one can
take on as many students as pos-
sible. Most lessons are once or
twice a week for up to 2 and a
half hours. Although it is time
consuming, tutoring is reward-
ing. Moore recently went with
one of her students to the GED
test. "It's exciting! It's an emo-
tional high to be able to help
someone achieve a goal like the
GED," explained Moore. The
dedicated tutor also mentioned
that working for a goal gives the
student something to focus on,
even though it will be a struggle
and a lot of work.
The Literacy Council offers
workshops that allow new volun-
teers to become familiar with the
program, know their expectations
as tutors, strategies, and tech-
niques.
The Council is located in the
Clarion Free Library and is open
to everyone. There is no cost to
be tutored. All books, software,
and tutor time are cost free.
Some tests, however, like the
GED, require a fee. However,
the time a tutor puts in is valuable
as well as rewarding. As a final
comment, Moore stated, "If peo-
ple have the time and want to
help the community help itself,
consider volunteering."

Laviera Speaks as Part of the MLK Series
Courtesy of the Martin Luther
King Jr. Committee
On Wednesday, Oct. 18, Tato
Laviera, Puerto Rican poet and
playwright, spoke at Hart Chapel.
Laviera has taught drama, poetry,
and linguistics at universities,
schools, and multi-cultural cen-
ters, and conducted seminars in
writing, poetry, and dramatics for
students of all ages. His back-
ground allows him to explore
Latin Hispanic, Black, African,
Nuyorican, and Caribbean identi-
ties and values with a particular
emphasis on the people of the
Western Hemisphere. Over the
past fourteen years he has read
his literary works at seventy-five
universities, twenty-six states in
the United States, Europe, and
Africa, and in 1980 performed at
the White House as a guest read-
er for President Jimmy Carter's
"Salute to American Poets."
Eight of his plays have been pro-
duced and staged.

Official Results of UAB Float Competition
by Jennifer Founds
Copy and Design Editor
Last week was full of fun and
celebration as ALF went into full
swing. Although Saturday was
the most eventful day of a gala
week , the weather wasn't coop-
erative. Following Friday's won-
derful late summer weather,
Saturday was far off in compari-
son, making the starting event a
dreary beginning to
Homecoming.
At 10:30am, the floats lined up
for the 42nd Annual ALF parade
by the entrance to Nair and
Wilkinson Hall's parking lot.
This years theme, "Autumn's
Tapestry", was portrayed in a
variety of ways by floats created
by many organizations.
This year, there were 1 5 Greek
organizations that entered their
floats in the parade. Each sorori-
ty and fraternity paired up to cut
down the work and split the costs
of building.
The University and Chamber
of Commerce sponsored the two
float competitions, awarding
cash prizes to the first four win-
ning floats.
First prize of one-hundred dol-
lars lor the University competi-
tion went to the sisters of Alpha
Sigma Alpha, and the brothers of
Alpha Chi Rho.
The theme for their float
was,"Bamyard Days" and the
chairpersons in charge for the
organizations were Chasity
Spangler and Jeremy Wagner.
Alpha Sigma Alpha and Alpha
Chi Rho received contributions
and donations from the following
sponsors: Clarion Care Center,
Holabaugh Beer Distributer,
County Market, and The Video
Place.
The wagon was donated by
Scott Sheffer, who was contacted
through the Clarion Airport
There were four members who
volunteered to ride the float
dressed as farmyard animals, and
two people on the back of the
float portrayed the couple from
the famous, "American Gothic"
painting.
The sisters of Alpha Sigma
Alpha are discussing donating
their share of the prize money to
their philanthropies, which are
Special Olympics and the S. June
Smith Center.
Their float also placed fourth in
the Chamber of Commerce com-
petition, receiving fifty dollars in
prize money.
The fraternity and sorority ran
into a few obstacles while build-
ing the float and getting it to the
parade site. Spangler states, "We
built the float outside of the
Alpha Chi Rho house, and at
3am it started to rain, and we had
no hurry and cover it ."
One other disaster occured on
the way to the site when the roof
of their barn "blew off in the
rain. Spangler continued, "we
improvised by covering it with a
black tarp.
Approximately 25 sisters of
Alpha Sigma Alpha , nine broth-
ers, and three alumni of Alpha
Chi Rho partook in creating
their float which was pulled by
Spangler in her father's Blazer.
Other winners in the competi-
tion for the University were: 2nd-
ZTA and in, 3rd-04>A and
KAP, 4th-ZIZ and *A0.
First through fourth places in
the Chamber of Commerce com-
petition were: lst-ZTA and £11,
2nd A<I>E and ITT, 3rd-64>A
and KAP, 4th- ALA and AXP.

October 8(h, which was the first day of A.L.F., was kicked off
once again with the Juniot Olympics.
Every year the Fraternities and Sororities on campus are a major
part in making this event a success.
Many individuals seem to feel that the Greeks on campus are
worthless and are only here to party, but that fact is, without
Greeks many activities would not be possible. So for those of you
who look at Greeks with a negative attitude maybe you should take
a second look.
The Fralcrnities who were involved in this years Junior Olympics
were Sigma Chi, Sigma Pi, Phi Sigma Kappa, and Phi Delta Theta.

Alcoholic beverages at social
events held in University of Iowa
fraternity houses have been
indefinitely banned by the
Interfratemity Council and the
Panhellenic Council.
In a Sept 26 meeting, members
of the two councils, along with
the presidents of the UI Greek
organizations voted for the ban
while evaluating alcohol policies,
said Beth Dinsmore, president of
Panhellenic Council. "I com-
pletely support this," Dinsmore
said.
Members of the councils had
earlier met with UI Dean of
Students, Philip Jones Dinsmore
said, and decided to consider the
ban. The 50 Greek representa-
tives at the Sept 26 meeting gave
approval.
Sigma Phi Epsilon President
Todd Johnston said, "It's time to
re-examine ourselves. I Think
the Greeks are doing the right
thing by agreeing with the ban."
"We are campus leaders,"
Johnson added. "I think together
we can work it out"
Interfratemity Council
President Bob Kendall said the
meeting was a result of the death
of Lambda Chi Alpha associate
member Matthew Garofalo, 19,
who died as a result of acute
alcohol intoxication after attend-
ing a party Sept 7 at the Lambda
Chi house.
Garofalo's death already had
prompted the Iowa State Board
of Regents to consider banning
alcohol from fraternity and soror-
ity houses.
Kendall said, however, that the
Interfratemity Council's Alcohol
policies are "very good" and the
UI's are among the most progres-
sive in the nation. "Anything can
be improved," he said.
Once fraternity members are
briefed by their presidents,
Kendall said, they will under-
stand why the ban has been put in
place. Sororities are not included
in the ban because national rules
do not allow alcohol in their
houses. Parties outside of frater-
nity houses also are not included
in the ban. "It's not the start of a
dry campus," Kendall said, "or
the demise of the Greek system."
Kirsten Roth, president of
Alpha Phi sorority, said she sup-
ports the ban as a tool to rethink
policies."I think this is good,"
Roth said. "It gives us time to re-
evaluate our policies and see how
we need to change the system.
It's a good break."
Roth said she doesn't think
there will be a negative reaction
to the moratorium. "I think peo-
ple will be supportive when they
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call
ouses
If &
have the information and under-
stand the situation, " she said.
"The [press releases] come out
today, and it will clarify the situ-
ation "She said the Greek system
is not just about alcohol, so the
ban should not disrupt life.
"The base purpose is to devel-
op members and support them,"
Roth said. "Doing this is a step
for us in re-evaluating the sys-
tem."
Roth said the Greek system has
been considering a move like this
since Garofalo's death.
"It's not something that's come
up suddenly," she said. "There's
a lot of evidence that this should
be done, and it's not something
we're taking lightly. Serious
things have happened that we
need to address."
She said the alcohol ban will
likely result in policy changes.
"our top priority is the safety of
our people," Roth said. "I don't
know how that will be translated
into policy."
UI is the second major univer-
sity to have its Greeks ban alco-
hol this year. At the University of
Colorado-Boulder, the governing
bodies of CU's 26 fraternities and
sororities voted to ban alcohol
from all functions held in chapter
houses and to promote a "zero
tolerance" policy against under-
age drinking by members.

5-1 start has people talking
Golden Eagles prepare to vaporize the Vulcans
by Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
In what was nothing short of
what you would call a quagmire,

Shippensburg Red Raiders. The
Golden Eagles lost Chris Weibel
and Ric Giles to injuries.
Weibel has a right leg injury
and was held out for precaution-
ary reasons. He is expected back

Wissner played an excellent
game, and had an interception.
The win upped Clarion's record
to 5-1, and this week the Golden

Kevin Donley.

this week.
Center John Smith suffered a
knee injury at Lock Haven and
will be out at least another week.
Giles had an ankle sprain in the
second quarter and was held out
the remainder of the game.
Sophomore Mike Forney
stepped in at quarterback, and
Chad Wissner took Giles place at
the comer.
Forney completed 11 of 17
passes for 131 yards and a Td.
Forney also ran for a game high
73 yards and ran for a Td as well.
"Mike Forney played an out-
standing game, especially with
the poor weather conditions, he's
a talented runner and we took
advantage of that" stated head
coach Malen Luke.
"I also thought he threw the ball
very well in the rain, and we
received another strong effort
from our offensive line," Luke
added. "With John Smith out,
Pete Pirone played a strong
week, averages 482.5 yards of
offense and 38.2 points per game.
The Golden Eagles are getting
225 rushing yards and 257.5
passing yards per game.
On offense Chris Skultety and
Steve Witte continue to lead they
way. Witte has rushed for 554
yards and 10 Td's. Witte also has
caught 25 passes for 314 yards
and 1 Td.
Skultety has caught a team
leading 31 passes for 422 yards
and four Td's. Alvin Slaughter
continues to have an impressive
campaign catching 29 passes for
375 yards and 3 Td's.
The Golden Eagles have
outscored their opponents 229-
118. Clarion has 160 first downs
as compared 10 104 by their
opponents.
Clarion's defense is yielding
19.7 points and 354.3 yards of
offense per game. The Golden
Eagles are giving up 73.7 rushing
yards and 280.7 passing yards pa-
contest.
Up front on defense, Joe
Morlacci (32 hits, 4sacks), Shad
Sahm (30 tackles, 3 sacks), junior
Wayne Ailing (18 stops, 3 sacks),
and junior Jason Slizofski (13
hits, 2 sacks) are all having good
years, and have eliminated
Clarion's opponents running
game.
The ends are defended by junior
Joe Bzorek (25 jolts, 1 sack) and
freshmen Phil Rayford (30 tack-
les, 1 sack), while junior inside
linebackers Erik Baumener (52
hits, 1 interception) and Thomas
Williams (48 tackles, 1 intercep-
tion) anchor the middle.
The secondary is led by All-
American Kim Niedbala. The
junior free safety leads the
defense with 68 tackles, 3 fum-
bles caused, and 3 interceptions.
He is joined by freshman strong
safety Brett Wiley (42 jolts, 2
uTs) and senior corners Pat Span
(33 tackles, 4 broken-up passes, 1
interception) and Ric Giles (23
hits, 1 interception).
"Maybe the biggest difference
in the second half was how well
our defense played, we made
some adjustments at halftime and
I thought that was a big turning
point in the game," Luke stat-
ed.(Clarion held Shippensburg to
42 total yards in the second half)
This week's opponent
California is averaging 16.9
points per game and 277.4 yards
of total offense per game. The
Vulcans are getting 102 rushing
and 175.4 passing yards per
game.

defense in the PSAC giving up
430.1 yards per game, including
220.1 rushing yards and 210
yards through the air.
Clarion leads the series
between the two schools 31-30-3
since 1927.
Cal won last year's game 41-
31, even though Clarion led 21-
12 at halftime.
Ironically Cal, who is 1-6 over-
all and 0-3 in the West, also
entered last year's game with an
identical l-6;0-3 mark before
upsetting Clarion.
With a 5-1 record, Clarion has
a legitimate argument for a
national ranking, and if Clarion
defeats Cal by a substantial
amount of points, the Golden
Eagles could jump into the polls.
The Clarion-Cal games have a
history of being very competi-
tive, but the Golden Eagles
should up their mark to 6-1 with
a win over the California Vulcans
this Saturday.
Kickoff is 2 pm, and Clarion
returns home on Saturday,
October 28th to host Slippery
Rock with game time set for 1
pm at Memorial Stadium.
Clarion's final two games are
against Indiana of PA and
Edinboro. These games could
have playoff implications.

Alumni Invitational successful for lady spikers
by Amy Mortimer
Sports Writer
The Clarion Alumni Volleyball
game took place this past week-
end, bringing back some of
Clarions hottest hitters.
On September 12-13, past play-
ers returned to play once more in
the Tippin gym. Ranging from
1980 to 1994, each player
brought her own talent and touch
back from her college days.
Among the returning players
was head coach Jodi Pezek-
Burns. Burns played for Clarion
from 1987 to 1991. As proof of
her talents, she can be found in
the top 5 of almost every catego-
ry. Her coach described her as a
good all around player who was
unselfish and a hardworker. She
was number one in kills with 431
in 1989 and 522 in 1990. Her
career number of kills is 1,444
and was highest in Clarion. She
has a career total of 171 service

aces- 4th in Clarion history. She
stands at 5th in digs with 786.
She is also first in blocks with
803.
Kelly Blosel- Snyder, who
played for the Golden Eagles
from 1987-89, was a setter with
strong defensive skills, a great
attitude, and excellent passing
skills. She had 87 kills, 784
assists, 136 blocks, and 457 digs
here at Clarion.
Susan Halcombe, who played
for Clarion from 1987-90, also
holds the place for 5th most
blocks at Clarion with 313.
Denise Layton was an excellent
leader and talented all around
player in her years at CUP (1987-
90). She had 224 kills and 45
service aces.
Meghan Kelly, is the former
top digger in Clarion with 1,260.
She played from 1991-1994. In
1994 alone, she had 443 digs.
Barb Buck, who played for
CUP in 1984-87 still holds fourth
place with 855 career kills.
Suzanne Seanor returned to
play at the CUP alumni game
from her Clarion career 1982-85.
Suzanne has 197 service aces
which is second in CUP's history,
and has the third most blocks
with 420.
Erica Homan, who is from 1989
and 1990, played as both a mid-
dle and outside hitter. She was a
strong jumper for CUP and had 2
service aces and 11 kills in her
first season at Clarion.
Gerri Condo, coach Burn's
assistant, as well as a few others,
competed and made the event a
big success.
Thoughts on the fall classic and the NFL
by Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
I normally write about my
observations on the NFL here in
The Call , but for a second let me
talk about baseball. Haven't the
1995 playoffs been incredible? I
would like to shake the hand of
the guy who brought about the
new playoff format It has been
the shot in the arm baseball need-
ed when other attempts, like
speedier games and the expanded
strike zones (yeah right), have
failed.
The decision to allow more
teams into the playoffs increased
playoff fever in more cities fight-
ing for the wild card. It also
gives us that "final four" effect
that basketball and the NFL have
thrived on for years. Now only if
college football could get a play-
off.
With the Braves again in the fall
classic, this sets up a great final
against whoever wins the
American League (at press time
the American League winner is
yet undetermined). Let's specu-
late a Braves-Indians and a
Braves-Mariners matchup.
First, a Braves-Indians super-
power, politically incorrect, base-
ball super bowl. This best
against best matchup is what the
schedulers and the networks have
been dreaming of from the start
of the season. This could devel-
op into a Cowboy-49er-esque
year in -year out rivalry with the
talent these teams possess. This
entire series could be decided by
an inning or two.
The key thing to watch in this
matchup, should it happen, is the
bullpen and the bench of these
clubs. The Braves and Indians
both have bullpens that are good,
but untested in the World Series

226-6930
environment. The team that has
the better bats and arms in the
11th and 12th off the bench will
win this series.
The flip-side is the Braves-
Mariners possible matchup, a
David vs. Goliath if you will.
What is different though is that
David's team has a Goliath in 6'
10 Randy Johnson.
"The Unit" stands almost 7 feet
tall. Add that to a major league
regulation 11 inch mound and
that is about 8 feet of man
gassing a side arm fast-ball of 99
mph at you!
The guy is ugly as sin too,
which helps in the intimidation
factor.
The deciding remainders in a
series involving these teams
could be the role players. Seattle
has Joey Corra, who has been
godly in his play at second base.
Speaking of second base,
Atlanta's Mark Lemke hits about
.400 every time the world series
rolls around.
After the strike last year, could
anyone have guessed that base-
ball would bounce back like this?
Now I'm not going to drop out of
school and follow my favorite
team around the country next
season like the Dead, but baseball
is, dare I say it, exciting again.
Now back to more familiar ter-
ritory. What's going in the food
in Indianapolis? I've never seen
a three game stretch like Indy has
had. The most intriguing part to
this comeback trilogy has been
that Marshall Faulk hasn't played
a real huge role in it.
He hasn't because the Colt's
have had to throw the ball to
comeback and win those three
games and that is where Jim
Harbaugh has come into his own.
The only bad thing about this
winning streak is that it's not
even half way into the season,
we'll have to see if they can
come back 3 times in a row in the
playoffs.
I know if I'm Oakland, I don't
want to play these guys next
week! They have had more quar-
terbacks than a "your momma
is..." joke.
One of the sidebars to the Colts
story is the team they beat last
week, the 49ers. Now that QB
Steve Young is hurt, everyone is
writing off the defending
champs.
How quickly do we forget that
the 49ers were 4-2 last year, as
they are this year, before winning
9 out of 10 regular season games
and the Super Bowl. Don't count
them out and don't make a big
deal out of the Cowboy-49er
game November 12 either.
Remember football fans, one
game does not a season make.

4 potpourri of information
The best seat in the house
by Scott Feldman
Sports Writer
I'd like to start out this week
by saying that it seems kind of
odd to hear Bob Uecker as the
color commentator for the
American League playoffs
between the Indians and
Mariners. If you recall, it was
Uecker who was the play-by-play
man the last time the Indians
were in the hunt for the World
Series. Of course it was Ricky
Vaughn and Pedro Cerrano who
led the Tribe, instead of Orel
Hershiser and Albert Belle. Now
on with this week's column.
Sticking with the topic of base-
ball, anyone who thinks Ken
Griffey Jr. is not the best player
in baseball either has no clue
about the sport or needs to seek
the help of a shrink! Griffey,
who missed 73 days of the season
due to a broken wrist suffered
after making a spectacular catch,
has been a nightmare for oppos-
ing pitchers.
Night in and night out Jr.
demonstrated the ability to get
clutch hits while giving the
Mariners the leadership they
needed to contend in the post sea-
son. However, Griffey's talents
parallel his approach to the game.
In Griffey you get no showboat-
ing and no taunting of other play-

ers after hitting homeruns that
seem to never land.
Griffey is what baseball ought
to be about, no complaining or
crying, just a player who loves
the game and gives 110% every
game. Since this column is due
to my superior early in the week,
I have no idea as to the turnout of
the ALCS but I wouldn't be
suprised to see Griff and Co. in
the big show.
I'm going to go out on a limb
and say that the Florida State
Seminoles will be the national
champions come the first week of
1996. The tandem of QB Danny
Kanell and RB Warrick Dunn
will continue to pile up impres-
sive numbers in the remainder of
the year. In fact Kanell and Dunn
could possibly finish one and two
in the race for the Heisman
Trophy. Other college football
notes have the Fighting Irish of
Notre Dame fighting for their
lives this year.
An early loss to upstart
Northwestern and last week's
scare by the Cadets of Army have
Lou Holtz and company scratch-
ing their heads figuring out
what's wrong with this year's
"Golden Domes". Well here's
something for all you fighting
l ^j. j . ! MJl^HWJUW^ ^
Irish fans, your team is not that
good this year and for them to
stay in major bowl contention
they will need more than the help
of Touchdown Jesus.
But knowing how political col-
lege football is, the Irish will be
playing somewhere New Year's
Day. Upstart teams such as
Kansas and Kansas State will get
shafted due to the fact that they
are not Notre Dame.
These kids from the Jayhawk
state are playing their tails off,
but will take a back burner to
teams with lesser records. This
fact flat out stinks and needs to
be looked at and examined to
reward the teams for what they
do, not who they are.
This week's hero has to be
Clarion backup QB Mike Forney.
Forney, the sophomore from
Bethel Park led the way to the
Golden Eagles 31-9 dismantling
of Shippensburg. Forney
replaced an injured Chris Weibel
late in the first quarter, and
immediately led the Eagles to
pay dirt with a one yard plunge
behind the mammoth O-Line of
the Eagles. Weibel, who was
playing brilliantly before taking a
helmet to the hip, is expected
back for this week's showdown
with the California Vulcans.
Coach Malen Luke discovered
that the young Forney is able to
play in clutch situations and con-
fidence if Weibel should go
down. As for Weibel, Clarion has
a gritty leader who will do any-
thing for a victory. In fact, the
play in which he was injured,
Weibel was diving forward to get
a first down that would enable
the Eagles to continue a first
quarter drive.
The defense also came up big
in last weeks monsoon. Led by
the PSAC's biggest hitter, Kim
Niedbala, the D worked their way
through the heavy downpours
and mud at Memorial stadium to
turn away the Red Raiders every
time they seemed to threaten to
score. Niedbala is as solid as it
gets at free safety and his relent-
less attitude on the field has
given the CU defense the leader-
ship they need to contend with
the difficult task on the remain-
der of the schedule and possibly a
berth in the national playoffs.
I'm only stopping here to relish
the fact that the Steelers didn't
lose hist week and their offense
didn't make one mistake. By the
way, they were idle.

Rain and slop is usually an indi-
cation of a low scoring football
game. But the Clarion Golden
Eagles put up 31 points Saturday
against the Shippensburg Red
Raiders. As you read in last
week's column, the Golden
Eagles indeed improve to 5-1,
and 2-0 in PSAC-West play.
The Golden Eagles improve to
6-1 this week when they travel to
California to take on the Vulcans.
The Vulcans have a history of
porous defenses, which will
enable Skultety, Weibel, and
"Prime Time" Slaughter to have a
field day.
Let's hope the Steelers can get
back on track this Thursdsay
when the Cincy Bengals visit
Three Rivers Stadium.
I'm not all that anxious to see
Bengal's quaterback Jeff Blake
perform against the Steeler's sec-
ondary. Alvoid Mays and "Wee"
Willie Williams will have their
hands full with Damay Scott and
Carl Pickens.
The Steelers really need to win
this game. The AFC has arisen
some formidable teams this year.
The Colts are playing extraordi-
nary football, including a young,
suprising defense.
The Broncos spanked the
Patriots, and white-washed the
Raiders on Monday night. The
Bills are back, and lead the
Eastern Division favorite
Dolphins.
So what does that mean? The
chances are the AFC Centrals
probably won't have a Wildcard
representative.
So a portentous call would have
either the Steelers or Browns out
of post-season action this year.
Are you aware of these facts?
- If the Buckeyes of Ohio State
go undefeated in the Big 10 they
may not represent the conference
in the Rose Bowl.
Ohio State and Northwestern
could both go undefeated in the
Big 10, which obviously means a
tie for the conference.
But the "rule" states the team
which has had the longest
absense from the Rose Bowl will
represent the Big 10.
That means; as most college
football fans should know, the
buckeyes would be shunned.from
a Rose Bowl apperance.
In essence, the Buckeyes could
win a national championship
without winning three Rose
Bowl.
- Kansas and Kansas State are
still undefeated and currently
ranked in the top 10 nationally.
- Darryl Dawkins (Chocolate
Thunder) is attempting a come-
back with the Boston Celtics.
Does that mean Mookie Wilson,
Michel Dion, and Louie Kelcher
are going to make comebacks in
their respective sports?
Dawkins is only a few years
away from the necropolis, let
alone in shape enough to play in
the NBA.
- Boston Red Sox pitcher Babe
Ruth lead the American League
with a 1.75 ERA.

OPINION
Editorial
Letters to the
Editor!
Kathryn
Zaikoski
It has been brought to my atten-
tion through a recent anonymous
phone call, that the decision to
print controversial "Letters to
the Editor" should be examined.
I will be brief, yet I hope help-
ful in explaining the code of
ethics the Executive Board of the
narionflall practices.
A campus newspaper is run by
the students, for the students. The
content of the paper is that which
directly affects the university;
not the opinions of the 11 mem-
ber exec-board who are responsi-
ble for its weekly production.
The "Letters to the Editor" sec-
tion is designed specifically to
give readers of our publication a
chance to respond to a particular
issue or concern about which
they feel strongly.
Topics range anywhere from
parking, high food prices, and
most recently: sexual preference.
The idea of Letters to the Editor
is not to openly attack fellow
human beings but to address the
university as an entity. The
authors of these letters should be
commended for their willingness
to share their questions and con-
cerns with such a diverse audi-
ence.
My job as Editor does not label
me as a demigod and does not
grant me the privilege to decide
whose opinion should or should-
n't be expressed in the Cl arion
Call . I have never purposely
withheld a letter from print
because I did not agree with the
author's message. Letters to the
Editor are only edited for gram-
mar, length and punctuation; not
conflicting ideas and attitudes.
Until recently, I have never had
to edit any "Letter to the Editor"
before it was published.
Unfortunately, this week was the
first time someone wrote poten-
tiaiy libelous material that the
exec board deemed not printable.
The libelous responses were
omitted from the letter, and the
majority of it was thus printed.
In conclusion, it's been exciting
to receive letters from such a
broad representation of students
and faculty. At least the staff and
myself can enjoy the idea that our
hard work has some effect on the
student body. Please continue
with your responses; words have
a tremendous effect on people.

As the author of the E-mail
announcement of National Coming
Out Day, I have watched with some
satisfaction as several colleagues
responded with strong support when
my announcement generated a hos-
tile comment. I did finally formulate
a response and sent it off to the £all
only to read shortly thereafter, in the
October 19 issue, a virulent anti-gay
letter to the editor from the same per-
son who sent the negative e-mail
around. I have recalled my first let-
ter to send this in its place. I cannot
remain silent in the face of the bil-
lious, defamatory comments uttered
by Ms. Lerch. Naively, I never
expected such drivel to surface on
the Clarion campus — but the recent
history of anti-gay activities by the
religious right should have warned
me mat no place was safe from their
particular brand of insidious hate-
mongering.

significant portion of the population
of the U.S. is doing on a daily basis
what Ms. Lerch contends? I have
been more than 25 years in this
movement. I have been in gay estab-
lishments in dozens of cities, and
have participated in marches and
other protests in pursuit of GLB
rights, and I know that most, nay, the
vast majority of the individuals I
have encountered do not in any way
fit the description presented by Ms.
Lerch. And social researchers have
published considerable evidence to
support my observation. I believe
even Ms. Lerch would have to admit
that most of the gays within her cir-
cle of acquaintances don't do these
things — if, that is, these people were
to come out to her. Considering her
attitude, that is not very likely.
(Confronting this kind of blind
stereotyping is precisely why a
National Coming Out Day is called.
If every gay or lesbian individual
made themselves known, Ms. Lerch
would find herself in the company of
a good many very ordinary people.)
Of course, in any group mere are
some whose actions are question-
able. This is what tends diatribes like
this an "air" of belie vability.
However, even a little calm, rational
thought would quickly reveal the
bias in the argument. EVERY act
described by Ms. Lerch has been
committed by some heterosexual too.
EVERY medical malady attributed to
the "gay lifestyle" by this misguided
individual has befallen heterosexuals
too. By the warped logic applied
here, we should judge ALL hetero-
sexuals by the actions of a few. Let's
look at some data concerning
"straights." The majority of child
sexual-abuse is committed by hetero-
sexuals. Would she claim that ALL
heterosexuals are child abusers? It is
ludicrous on the face of it.
She claims to have "documented"
these charges. I don't dispute that
Ms. Lerch may have in her posses-
sion some text which recounts the
actions she describes, and provides
the quote she uses (which is not data,
but the anecdotal comments of "two"
homosexuals, and likely taken out of
context). There is some incredible
trash written deliberately misleading
members of the anti-gay move-
ment — often published through far-
right religious presses. But not
everything published is truthful —
and the statement that extremely
questionable behavior is the NORM
of the gay and lesbian community is
simply NOT TRUE. I rather suspect
the source of this "data" is the same
as that of recent video entitled 'The
Gay Agenda," which Lou Sheldon
and others have arranged to have
delivered to every Representative '
and Senator. Using old-fashioned
propagandists tricks, they have
spliced together footage of a few
(and there WERE only a few — I
attended the march during which
much of the footage was shot) of the
more flamboyant individuals in the
gay community — individuals who
cause problems for most mainstream
GLB's — and then have passed this
off as representative of ALL gays. I
have always found it interesting that
the apparently "righteous" individu-
als who make the loudest noises
about the so-called sins of the gay
community seem to not mind repeat-
edly committing the sin of deliberate
prevarication.] As a proud member
of P-FLAG (Parents and Friends of
Lesbians and Gays) of Pittsburgh, I
am pleased to inform you that a film
which portrays the gay community in
a far more accurate light has been
made (entitled "Straight from the
Heart") and is being sent, through
the efforts of P-FLAG, on the heels
of the hateful "Agenda." I only hope
the elected officials who receive it
are willing to view it in an open-
minded fashion. In it, lesbians and
gays from all over the country give
eloquent testimony to the falsehoods
spread by the likes of Sheldon, and, it
would seem, Ms. Lerch. I would also
like to note that P-FLAG Pittsburgh
is showing the film, along with
"Agenda" to various community
groups in Pittsburgh. I wonder if the
"Agenda" promoters are as willing to
have their audiences see "Straight
from the Heart."
Make no mistake, the tactics used
by Ms. Lerch are the same that have
been used to isolate and scape-goat
various groups throughout history.
Lengthy "documented" arguments
were made to suggest that Jews were
some form of inhuman monsters,
filthy and parasitical. These docu-
ments figured heavily in Nazi propa-
ganda. Likewise, blacks have been
stigmatized as brutish and less
evolved than whites — again by indi-
viduals with "credentials" quoting
"data." Alas, even now, both groups
still suffer prejudice of the same
sorts. Vilifying an outgroup to justi-
fy mistreatment of them is precisely
what is happening here. The Gay,
Lesbian and Bisexual community is
just the most recent collective voice
raised against this tragic, recurrent
flaw of human societies.
In many ways, I pity you, Ms.
Lerch. You have been taken in by a
group of hate-mongers who have
brainwashed you with distortions and
falsehoods. Contrary to your claim,
they HAVE generated in you a fear
that has no rational basis. And, con-
trary to your intention to not con-
demn people, only practices, the
effects of your beliefs are to cause
thousands of people serious anguish

'Terversity has nothing to do with any type of sexuality.
»

Dear Editor
This letter is not only a response to
a letter in last week's Call , but to the
almost silly ignorance and
fragmented thinking that spawned it
The question is WHY? Why don't
they tell us the whole story; about
the practices that land them in the
hospital; of the percentages who
have AIDS, VD, hepatitis, etc.,ete.?
The answer is the same as that of
heterosexuals asked to reveal
personal info about their sexual
behavior, "None of your damn
business."
The purpose of the promotion of
GLB lifestyles is not to make sexual
behaviors and their consequences
your business. It is done to help
those who have been condemned by
this society to stand up and
say/'PISSOFF!".
So there is a purpose for these
promotions and it is not to convert
people into perverts. None of the
issues in last week's article had any
concerns that were linked to
homosexuality. All of the concerns
were about perversity, which has
nothing to do with any type of
sexuality.
Perversity is based on the taboo
satisfaction of the unthinkable,
unspeakable, and undoable and bow
they are thought spoken and done.
Perversity knows no sexual
preference. It knows no gender. I do
agree that the practice of shoving
foreign objects up ones rectum is
"abnormal" and perverse in relation
to how most open minded
intellectuals view sexual activity.
But should it and does it much
matter what the gender of the person
is whose got their hand on the tool
box?In fact what concern is it of
anyone what people do with their
genitalia and bodily orifices?
This is of no concern to me nor
should it be to anyone being so
arrogant and bold as to pass
judgement upon another. Unless you
are sleeping with someone or have
another vested interest in their
genitalia, you have no right to pass
judgement on them based on their
sexual behavior.
If you have a problem with it, it is
yours, not theirs. A person is a
person, love is love, a friend a
friend, a lover a lover. Non-
reproductive sex is non-reproductive
sex.
Whether it is in the bedroom of a
married christian couple or the
bedroom of a gay couple. It
shouldn't bother you if you are not
there.I am not gay so I cannot even
pretend to know bow it feels.
I do, however, know what it is like
to be feared by the ignorant. I do not
live a lifestyle considered to be
normal. My thought processes, and
therefore my actions and reactions,
are not a reflection of the status quo
and I am well aware of how it
effects and intimidates people.
Personally, I have no desire to be
considered normal because I have
little respect for normality as it
relates to this society. However, if
GLB's wish to strive for that pretty
little "normal placard" to hang
around their necks, so be it
This whole thing about the blue
jeans sounds like an infantile joke to
me. National Coming Out Day still
sounds a little questionable to me
too, but I haven't thoroughly thought
that out yet
The idea of not wanting to hide
your sexual preference is admirable.

assertiveness, I was disappointed
and shocked that this was in
response to the idea of one woman
kissing another. He did not get this
attitude from me, or any of my
friends (as far as I know).
It was naturally inferred from what
he sees in the stale American
mainstream. Therefore it was a
foreign concept to him; "abnormal".
Now it may seem hasty to make a
judgement based on one incident
involving one child, but compared to
the rest of the kids growing up in
this society, mine receives minimal
amounts of mentally, socially,
psychologically, and emotionally
restraining pollutants.
So I feel safe in saying that if he
doesn't see it as normal, then the
vast majority of kids, as eventual
adults, won't either. This is good
reasoning for promoting freedom of
sexual preference. We don't need
another generation of prejudiced
Americans and suppressed GLB's.
But I do suggest that we use the
words normal and abnormal with
caution. Bottom Line: What one
decides to do with his or her
genitalia, etc., is between him or her
and whoever wants to be a part of it
If they violate the wishes and/or
human rights of another, may the
cold hands of fate ring them dry like
a rag. But if consenting adults want
to behave in any noncriminal
manner they wish in total privacy
they should, as Americans, feel
righteous and free in doing so.
Homosexuality is not synonymous
with perversity and perversity is not
limited to any sexuality. The
promotion of homo and bi sexuality,
and not sexual behaviors, has sound
social premise and this is why "The
Whole Story" is not told by its
promoters.
Open your minds and do not allow
the minds of our children to ever be
closed.
Arm them with the ability to make
respectful, sound decisions based on
sound reasoning, show them your
trust and do not condemn them for
their choices. Teach them to spread
their wings and let them learn to fly
on their own.

Heterosexual community is just as promiscuous."
Dear Editor:
I am writing in response to a letter
written by La Vieta Lerch which
appeared in the October 19th issue
of the Call. Ms. Lerch asks "Why
don't GLB's tell the whole story?" I
feel that no one member of a group
is in a position to "tell the whole
story" about that group. However, as
a lesbian and founding member of
ALLIES, I feel that I must address
some of the issues which have been
brought up by this debate.
Speaking for myself and my
knowledge of other homosexuals in
my acquaintance, we have no
problem with our sexuality. The
problem lies with the intolerance of
certain sections of the heterosexual
community. National Coming Out
day was established as a day of
focus to assist Gays and Lesbians in
coming out to family, friends and co-
workers. In practice, there is little
difference between Coming Out Day
and Secretary's Day or
Grandparent's Day of the dozens of
other "special" days on the calendar.
Ms. Lerch states that heterosexuals
don't "celebrate" coming out of the
bedroom, I beg to differ. We are
surrounded and confronted by
heterosexuality every day.
Sex is a prime factor in selling
almost everything in this
country — for those who doubt this
just look at the ads in any popular
magazine or most TV commercials.
Personally, I would like to see less
of this "sex sells" attitude in general,
but that is not realistic. However,
some companies, such as IKEA, are
waking up to the fact that the
homosexual community constitutes
a potentially lucrative market
Ms. Lerch also asks why we don't
wear some sort of identifying
device; in fact, many of us do. I
consistently wear a laybrys necklace
which is a symbol within the lesbian
community. Many of us wear pink or
black triangles which is a positive
reclaiming of the badges that gays
'There is just
as much violent
sex within the
straight
community."
and lesbians were forced to wear in
the concentration camps of Nazi
Germany. The rainbow flag is also a
popular symbol within the Gay
community. The point of wearing
jeans for coming out day is
symbolic— sexual orientations is
often taken as much for granted as is
that common item of clothing.
Ms. Lerch states "A well known
author documented in a book the
norm of this lifestyle." I would very
much like to know the name of this
author and the title of the book. How
was the research conducted?
Unfortunately, as many of us know,
there is a lot of bad research out
there.
Some studies used only patients of
psychiatrists for their research and,
unsurprisingly, determined that all
homosexuals suffered form
emotional problems. Ms. Lerch, as
you state in your letter, this is an
academic setting; please cite your
sources.
Ms. Lerch addresses issues of
homosexual promiscuity and sexual
"practices that cause them to land in
the hospital." There is a segment of
the homosexual population that is
very promiscuous — a much smaller
segment now than before the AIDS
epidemic. But there is also a
segment of the heterosexual
population that is just as
promiscuous. I state the truth when I
say that the homosexual community
has been at the forefront of
education for everyone with regard
to AIDS and safer sex.
As for hospital visits and
disease — no one of any sexual
orientation is totally safe from
sexually transmitted diseases unless
they are celibate. S&M, hedonism,
bondage, etc., are by no means
limited to the Gay community. There
is just as much violent sex within the
straight community. There was a
time when the official position of the
Catholic church on sex was that it
should only be practiced for
purposes of procreation and the only
approved method of sexual contact
was the missionary position. Is this
the "normal" lifestyle that Ms. Lerch
envisions? The heterosexual
community as a whole may have a
problem with that concept.
Part of the mission of a university
is to expose the student to a wide
variety of beliefs and cultures. Ibis
is especially true for a rural area
such as Clarion where many
students may not have had much
opportunity to experience diversity.
As stated by William Chase in The
Language of Action "Diversity,
generally understood and embraced,
is not just liberal tolerance of
anything and everything not
yourself. It is not polite
accommodation. Instead, diversity
is, in action, the sometimes painful
awareness that other people, other
races, other voices, other habits of
mind, have as much integrity of
being, as much claim on the world
as you do. And I urge you, amid all
the differences present to the eye
and mind, to reach out to create the
bond that will protect us all. We are
meant to be here together."
I ask no one to "embrace" my
lifestyle. What I do ask is that others
acknowledge the fact that I have the
right to live as I choose with no
harm to others. Should I be in love I
have as much right as a heterosexual
to hold hands with my partner in
public. Or keep my job. Or my
home, this is not a request for a
special right but a demand for equal
treatment.

Senate passes local tax amendment
The State Senate unanimously approved a measure Tuesday that
would amend the state constitution to allow local governments to
have greater flexibility in levying local taxes.
The amendment would permit local governments to exempt a
portion of either residential property or all property from local
taxation. A similar measure passed the House on Monday,
although that version would apply only to residential property.
The House and Senate must reach a compromise before the
measure can move forward. Amendments to the constitution must
be approved in two consecutive sessions of the Legislature and
then by voters in a referendum.
Coroner stands trial on theft
charges
Charges that a coroner stole $190 from a corpse stem from a
grudge against the official by state police, a lawyer for the accused
man said Tuesday.
Robert Muir said state police have resented Indiana County
Coroner Thomas Streams ever since he said he wanted to bold an
inquest in the death of Robert Fortunate, who died in a standoff
with police on Dec. 31, 1992.
Streams is charged with stealing $190 from the wallet of Thomas
Smith, who committed suicide in March. Police have said the
wallet had $201 in it when they recovered it, but only $11 when it
was returned to the man's family.
If he is convicted, Streams could face up to four years in prison.

and, too often, physical abuse. You
say we should put our money into
academics. I agree, and I think one
of the most important functions this
institution can perform is to shine
light onto the dark, medieval
superstitions that will shackle our
capacities to accept and love one
another.
Open your mind, and if data can
persuade you, I and many others,
can provide you with abundant data,
sound statistics, sound, logical
arguments and personal testimony
that ought to change your mind.
Open your eyes — and your
heart — and you will see that the gay
and lesbian individuals on this
campus are not vile, hurtful
creatures, but very ordinary, very
human beings.
Finally, the negative response
saddened me, as does most of the
homophobic diatribes I hear, for it
utterly refused to acknowledge the
fact that what I am celebrating is
LOVE— the most beautiful,
compassionate, noble, glorious
feelings I have ever had. The sex is
at best a small part of it — but it is
the only part that the anti-gay folks
seem to care about. I've watched
lovers contend with AIDS. I've
seen the tenderness, the loyalty, the
devotion.
These come from what is the best
in humans, straight or gay. I
attended a party this weekend where
I saw an elderly gay couple dancing
and I saw mirrored in their faces the
same sweet, gentle affection I have
seen in dozens of elderly
heterosexual couples in this town
and elsewhere.
There were perhaps a hundred
people at the party and there were no
fights, no loud arguments, no "chips
on drunken shoulders begging to be
knocked off." There were a lot of
people dancing, talking and
laughing.
There were lots of bugs, and pecks
on the cheek, and the easy
familiarity of friends greeting
friends. What was missing was the
sexual tension, the pushing and
shoving and the unmitigated sexism

Letters to
the Editor Cont
"Homosexuality was never the debatable part
To the Clarion Call Editor:
Sad, sad, sad. Yes, we know that
Ms. Lerch and others are entitled to
their opinions. To me, the greater
issue is the sad fact that our own
student newspapers has sunk so low
as to print — and thus at least
passively condone — shameless
bigotry and poisonous hatred. Why
on earth did you run the heading last
Thursday as "the homosexuality
debate?" What exactly is debatable
about that? I mean, some days I'm
not all that crazy about the law of
gravity, but is this open to debate? A
more correct heading for this section
of your letter should have been "the
homophobia debate." For just as our
social problems are not due to race,
but rather to our complex human
sexuality is not itself the issue, but
more precisely, the issue is our hang-
ups and our phobias surrounding this
loaded topic. What could possibly be
more complicated than human
sexuality? Missing from this
"debate" is the response of wonder
and awe, humility, and compassion
that is needed as a counterbalance
around this topic — we see for
ourselves that we have quite enough
judgment on our fair campus to go
around, thank you very much.
Regardless of one's personal
opinions, preference, tolerance, or
otherwise (of which, incidentally,
choosing to live without a sexual
partner is also an acceptable
option — God forbid we aren't all
"partnered up!") in the interest of
fairness in journalism, the
responsibility of any newspaper, it
seems to me, is to recognize
something for what it is. What if,
one day, the divine energy of love
knocks on our door wearing the face
of similar gender, or possibly not a
face at all, but a social cause, or even
artistic inspiration? What will be our
response then — I'm sorry, since you
aren't a human of the opposite sex,
you don't qualify."
"Homosexuality" was never the
debatable part. Not being able to
respond to love with grateful
recognition, should we be so lucky
that it comes our way, is the real
sadness. In this "debate" let's be
careful not to confuse form with
content, lest our hatred for our
designated "abnormal other" turn its
venomous head back on us.

"Who defines normal, you ask?"
Dear Editor:
I didn't know it was common
practice for a paper to manipulate
the articles sent in to the editor.
Newspapers are fast approaching the
day when they will no longer be able
to manipulate the media. With
information immediately available
through computer bulletin boards
and networks the information will
get out and the truth be known
without newspapers being able to
control what and how things are put
in the paper-
To Monica Shearer, if this lifestyle
is so acceptable then why do you
feel it is necessary to personally
attack me? If you had a legitimate
basis to condemn what I have said
then you should have done so. Since
you didn't you had to personally
attack me. You have never talked
with me. You have read very little of
anything I have written. How can
you determine what my intentions or
opinions are? You felt it necessary to
make up things I have not said
because you didn't really have
anything substantive to attack.
You don't promote your sexuality?
Perhaps you should look at the
meaning of the word promote: "to
advance in station, rank, or honor."
Are you seriously suggesting that
homosexuals are not trying to
advance in acceptance? Yes, you are
correct, homosexuals are spreading
"some type of epidemic." They are
bars. Normal? I want to think that
loving is normal — but the tone of
my homophobic respondent's
message is that normal — if they
consider themselves normal — is full
of hatred, bigotry, ignorance and
abuse. Well, if they are right, then
I'm abnormal — and damned glad of
it.
John Ernissee, PHD

Co-Founder, Allies
called AIDS, venereal diseases, and
drug abuse. Not all homosexuals are
in this category but the majority are.
Check out the research. Who defines
normal, you ask. I think society
does. I don't think society is ready to
accept physical destruction or
misuse of the body as normal. Most
people call it abuse.
You say I am ignorant. Perhaps
you should educate me and many
others. Tell us about the physical
abuse and damage done by such
things as fisting (a common practice
in the gay community where one
man will push his hand, fist and
forearm up to his elbow into the
rectum and lower colon of another
man and sometimes grip and tear on
the liver, spleen and intestinal wall)
and insertion of various objects into
the rectum.
Tell us also about the diseases that
are spread because of golden
showers (men urinate on partners),
free flowing semen, scatting (a
homosexual practice where males
defecate on each other), etc. These
practices are not part of an
"acceptable alternate lifestyle" in a
respectable medical book nor a
respectable society because of the
harm it does. Society defines
"normal" when behaviors are
harmful to society.
The only reference I made to God
was that no wonder He called it
depraved and shameful. You must
have assumed I was referring to the
one true God who is the Creator. I
wasn't bringing up religion but since
you did I'll respond. I have a
personal relationship with God and
the things that He hates are for a
good reason. He calls homosexuality
unnatural (Romans 1:27), depraved
(Romans 1:28), wicked (Genesis
19:7), shameful lusts (Romans 1:26)
and I happen to agree with Him. I
don't expect everyone to agree with
me. A personal belief in God is just
that, personal and up to each
individual. All of us have to make a
decision that God really does exist
and that He wants a personal
relationship with each of us through
His Son, Jesus Christ. We have to
decide to accept God's ways also.
Let me ask a question.
You say that not everyone has the
same God therefore He can't be used
as a basis for morality. What kind of
a god condones a practice that is
harmful to the physical body (not to
mention society in spreading
disease)? I can't think he is a god
who cares about those who worship
him .It is amazing how many people
are intolerant of my position in
disagreeing with the homosexual
lifestyle. It is o.k. for them to be
intolerant yet not o.k. for me to be
intolerant This is a double standard.
I've beard the statement "no
matter how absurd if you repeat it
long enough people will believe it"
and I hope our society never accepts
abusive and unnatural behaviors as
normal no matter what guise under
which it comes.

Supreme Court rejects Citadel Case
WASHINGTON- The Supreme Court refused this month to hear
an appeal by Shannon Faulkner, who had sought to be the first
woman cadet to be admitted to The Citadel.
Faulkner's attorneys had hoped the Supreme Court would take up
the highly publicized case, which pitted the South Carolina resident
against the all-male, state-funded military college.
The high court said that Faulkner's lawsuit is irrelevant because
she no longer attends the school.
In August, Faulkner became the first female to be admitted to the
school's Corps of Cadets program in its 152-year history. She was
admitted to the cadet training program under the court order but
dropped out of the program after less than a week, citing health rea-
sons.
The justices also denied letting Nancy Mellette, a high school
senior from South Carolina, intervene in the case.
Last week, District Judge C. Weston Houck dropped Faulkner
from the lawsuit against the school and replaced her with the 17-
year-old Mellette. Houck, who will hear the case November 13,
will decide whether a separate, parallel program at Converse
College, a private women's school in Spartanburg, S.C., offers
women comparable military experience to the The Citadel.
Faulkner first sued The Citadel in 1993 for sex discrimination
after school officials accepted her application, then rejected her
when they discovered she was a woman.

Instead of trying to persuade fellow politicians with his unique
oratory style, Simon will spend his time in the classroom.
After Simon, 66, voluntarily leaves the Senate once his second
term is complete in January 1997, he will head a new SIU depart-
ment on public policy, teaching classes in journalism and political
science.
"This will give me an opportunity to continue to focus on the
needs of my home region as well as Illinois, the nation and the inter-
national community," said Simon, who resides in nearby Makanda.
SIU officials say the new Paul Simon Chair in Public Policy will
focus on the ways policies affect and are affected by government
leaders, journalists and members of society.
"We believe this scholarly effort can not only help make public
policy more effective but elevate the level of public political dis
course in this country," said SIU Chancellor Ted Sanders.
Before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1984, Simon served in
the House, as well as in state government in Illinois. Prior to enter
ing politics, Simon served as the editor of the Troy (111.) Tribune.

Office of Social Equity re leases policy
University takes stand on equality
By Mary Beth Curry
News Editor
In order to combat the negative
comments that have been
expressed by both faculty and
students of Clarion University,
the Office of Social Equity has
begun plans for a symposium to
educate and enlighten students.
The symposium will be open to
the entire university, as well as
the surrounding community.
"Freedom of expression is
uncompromisingly protected and
where civility is powerfully
affirmed," is the official state-
ment on the letters on e-mail and
published in the Clarion Call
regarding the current issue of
homosexuality and heterosexual-
ity.
Both University President Dr.
Diane Reinhard and the Office of
Social Equity are reaffirming the
university's "commitment to
building a civil university."
The university's policy con-
cerning equal opportunities
"...seeks to sustain and cultivate
an intellectual, learning, and
working environment that values
and respects individual differ-
ences pertaining to race, ethnici-
ty, religion, nationality, gender,
sexual orientation, physical and
mental ability, age, and belief."
The policy goes on to state,
'Toward that end, we appeal to

states the following:

The institute was developed in
1990 at Clarion University, and
its goal is to provide librarians
the opportunity to talk with oth-
ers in the informational world
about various subjects.
Vavrek said, " It was a basic

The bookmobile conferences
are held every other year and the
fourth conference was September
21 and 22 in Grantville, which is
near Harrisburg.
Bookmobile staff, library
administrators, supervisors,
trustees, and the general public
are all invited to the conference.
This year over 175 people repre-

states and seven bookmobile
manufacturers attended.
The purpose of all those in
attendance is to identify issues
relating to services of the book-

CU students march with a million men
Laura Guido
News Writer
On Monday, October 16, hun-
dreds of thousands of black men
from across the country gathered
in Washington, D.C. for the mil-
lion man March.
The rally was held in the mall
area of our nation's capital with
the main stage being on the west
side of the Capitol Building.
Included in those hundreds of
thousands were thirty-one stu-
dents from Clarion University.
The trip was organized by a
campus group called the Think
Tank.
It is a group for colored men
who want to get together and dis-
cuss issues affecting men of color
in the world, country and on
Clarion University campus.
Two group members, Tyrone
Sherrod and Mike Reed, brought
the idea of attending the march to
the group. They raised money
for transportation by holding a
contest similar to the MTV show,
Singled Out
'The rally gave me a sense of
self-being," said group member,
Karl Singleton.
He explained that he felt it nec-
essary to attend the march
because it was a part of history.
There were two goals set for the
rally. The first was to get a "mil-
lion" black men in attendance.
The second, less definable, was
to ensure that those in attendance

called the Nation of Islam.
Farrakhan, who has been
labeled controversial because of
his views, talked about his

take responsibility for their
actions and to be all they can be.

ny that included familiarizing

addressed various issues.
The keynote speaker was Louis

and the Reverend Jesse Jackson.
Although the rally was about
twelve hours long, those who
attended did not seem to mind

Proquest and other technology betters Carlson
by Kristen Davis
News miter
Last October, a new computer
system called ProQuest was
introduced to Clarion University
on a trial-basis and placed in
Carlson Library's DuBois Room.
This pro-periodical database
was to make life easier for stu-
dents and faculty alike. It
allowed one to sweep through
journals in full text and get com-
plete articles in one search, which
eliminated long tedious pursuits.
By February, ProQuest was
underway. The university decid-
ed to continue ProQuest this year,
and since then it has become an
extremely popular database used
by the student body and academ-
ic departments as well.
It includes six work stations and
two printing systems. Student
senator Ryan Hitchman said,
"The seniors and juniors espe-
cially love the system. It is
extremely beneficial to them.
However, a fee has been issued
on the use of the ProQuest
machine. To receive copies of
acquired ProQuest information,
one is required to pay a quarter.
Hitchman admits that although
ProQuest seems to be well-liked
by the students, the senate has
received many complaints
because of the cost.
Director of Libraries, Dr.
Gerald McCabe, responded to the
increase, "Unfortunately, it is
(necessary). Because of the cost
of the paper and ink cartridges
needed for the Laserjet printer
used in the ProQuest systems, the
fee is of the utmost importance.
Paper costs are three times high-
er than they were three years of
age. The fee also goes to the

LIFESTYLES
Out to Stop...Hunger and Homelessness
by Gora L Smith
Intern, Community Service
Learning
The National Student Campaign
Against Hunger & Homelessness
has declared the week of
November 13-17, 1995 to be
"Annual Hunger and
Homelessness Week". This issue
desperately needs to be addressed
for more than a week. In turn, the
month of November has been
declared, "Out to Stop.. .Hunger
and Homelessness Month" at
CUP. Typically, distant images
of African famine and or street
people living in New York City
or Washington D.C. come to
mind when we think of hunger
and homelessness. We must real-
ize the fastest growing popula-
tion of hunger and homelessness
is in rural America. In Clarion
County, over 600 households,
consisting of 1,716 individuals,
were given food vouchers from
Jefferson/Clarion County
Community Action Agency
between July 1, 1994 and June
30, 1995. Indeed, there is hunger
and homelessness in our neigh-
borhoods. Throughout the
month of November, the CSL
Office will assist several student
organizations and University
departments in collaboration of a
major five week university food
drive. Our focus is to unite the
various University campaigns
together and present on
December 6th, a sizeable gift of
non-perishable items to the
Jefferson/Clarion County
Community Action Agency, to
distribute throughout Clarion
County. To remain consistent
with the theme of ending the
plight of hunger and homeless-
ness, the student organization of
Habitat for Humanity has agreed
to construct "The Caring House"
to store the donated non-perish-
able items. The Caring House
will be located in the Gemmell
Student Center, 2nd floor rotun-
da.
Donations of non-perishable
food items may be placed inside
the house Monday through
Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00
p.m., and Friday's 9:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. All materials have been
donated by Rhea Lumber,
Clarion. Other drop off points
for the food drive will be each
residence hall for on-campus stu-
dents and the Athletic
Department for intercollegiate
athletes. AIT other donated items
may be directly placed into The
Caring House. For many people
in the United States, "home" is
but a distant dream. Too many
people must call a shelter cot, or
a box on a street corner, or an ani-
mal coop, or an abandoned shack
or bus their home. The causes of
homelessness are attributed to
change in affordable housing
supply, unemployment, mental
illness, poverty, and substance
abuse. Half a million tow-rent
units are lost annually through
conversion, arson, abandonment,
inflation, and demolition. To
kick off the month, Residence
Life, United Campus Ministry,
Into the Streets, and Habitat for
Humanity is supporting a "24
hour Sleepout for the Homeless".

Unda Presha to Open for Coolio
Courtesy of Royal Enter-
tainment Productions
Picture a generation of young
hopefuls struggling to survive,
trying to maintain a standing
ground in a repetitous society.
Picture a time and place where
people of young and old come
together each thriving to find
something to relate to each other.
Picture a generation under pres-
sure, who strives against all odds
to achieve a goal many can only
dream of. Many try but never-
theless fail and when dust settles
and clears, you know you have
those that you can count on when
you need them to come through...
The R&B group Unda Presha
will open for Coolio tonight.
Comprised of a four part-mem-
ber, the group symbolizes the
hard times of a generation under
pressure working hard to make a
niche in the music industry.
What makes them different is the
timely songs they sing to garner
university appeal. UP writes
songs many can relate to for
crossover into many formats.
Unda Presha has influences
ranging form Stevie Wonder,
Michael Jackson, and Aretha
Franklin, to Babyface and Mint
Condition. UPcombined comes
with a style reminiscent of New
Edition, and like New Edition all
members have a strong enough
vocal background to sing solo.
The group formed in Virginia,
yet, all its members hail from dif-
ferent states. Members of UP are
Phillip Lamont Jackson, Jimmy
Wesley, John Moore, and Verdale
Doward.
Unda Presha has a debut CD
now in stores entitled "The
Essence of Tune..." UP has also
performed in many shows around
the Pittsburgh and surrounding
areas and are registering an audi-
ence through mailing lists an
show appearances. The album
consists of ballad driven material
with contemporary appeal to
cater to a broad audience. Look
for Unda Presha in upcoming
shows in the Pittsburgh area.

Vote For Barry, The No-Issue Candidate by Dave Barry
Several months ago I
announced that I was willing to
run for president of the United
States and shoulder the immense
crushing burden of accepting
your cash contributions. Today I
wish to reveal, in specific detail,
exactly where I stand on the
issues. Ready? Here goes:
I agree with Colin Powell.
I say this because, according to
the polls, the American public is
crazy nuts in love with Colin
Powell, despite the fact that the
average voter has no clue what he
thinks about anything. Consider
your own personal self . I bet you
have positive feelings toward
Colin Powell, but have you actu-
ally read his book? I didn't think
so. Perhaps it would surprise you
to learn that, on page 23, the fol-
lowing statement appears:
"Everything was fine until
1953, when I was kidnapped by
telepathic clams from another
dimension."
And consider this statement, on
page 159:
"One thing I definitely believe
is, everybody should have sex
with vegetables."
Is that the kind of person you
want as your president? Me too!
Unfortunately, I made these quo-
tations up. But my point is that
the voters have no idea what
views Colin holds, and this is
exactly why they like him. He
doesn't bore them by droning
away about the issues. Voters
hate issues; that's why they hard-
ly ever vote. That's why all these
other presidential contenders,
with all their positions on this
and their six-point programs on
that, are having so much trouble
getting anybody to pay attention
to them. Look what happened to
Pete Wilson of California, who
sings the really high part in
"Help Me Rhonda."
No, wait, that's BRIAN Wilson
of California. Pete Wilson is the
governor, and he wanted to be
president, and he kept scheduling
these major public events where-
in he announced his candidacy;
he'd give his Big Policy Speech,
and then he'd wait for the
groundswell of popular support,
and ... and NOTHING HAP-
PENED. So Pete had to
announce his candidacy AGAIN.
He announced it about 37 times.
He was getting desperate for
venues. It reached the point
where he was appearing at birth-
day parties for preschool chil-
dren, where he'd announce his
candidacy, explaining his poli-
cies, and make animal balloons.
Finally Pete gave up and dropped
out, although you parents plan-
ning preschool parties can proba-
bly still get Lamar Alexander.
You don't see Colin Powell and
me stooping to that level. You
see us staying up above the fray,
acting statesperson like, weigh-
ing our options, maintaining our
dignity and gratefully handing
out Cabinet posts in exchange for
cash contributions. Or at least I
am. Colin has not reached mat

level of statespersonship yet. So
if you were planning to send a
contribution to him, just to be on
the safe side you'd better send it
to me instead, and if he gets into
the race I'll make sure he
receives every single penny that
is left over at that point.
At the risk of sounding as
though I am taking positions on
an issue, I do want to say one
thing: I am in favor of the elder-
ly. You hear a lot of talk these
days about how the government
cannot afford to keep giving
more and more billions of dollars
in Medicare and Social Security
benefits to the elderly, especially
to the wealthy, golf-playing,
boat-owning, Lincoln-driving,
mansion-dwelling, servant-lash-
ing elderly. Well, here's what I
say: I personally am well on my
way to elderlyhood, and if I'm
going to suffer from joint pain,
gum disease, vision loss, irregu-
larity, bladder malfunction,
prostate disorders, hemorroidal
swelling and an inexplicable
fondness for "Murder, She
Wrote," then by gosh I WANT
MONEY FROM THE GOV-
ERNMENT.
At this point you're saying:
"But Dave, the federal govern-
ment is already running a horren-
dous deficit! Where's the money
going to come from?"
Simple: We'll raise income
taxes.
WAIT! COMEBACK! I don't
mean we'll raise income taxes on
US. My plan is to raise income
taxes on PEOPLE IN FOREIGN
COUNTRIES.
Why should they pay? I can
answer that question in three
words: "Internal Revenue
Service." You know those
incomprehensible letters that you
sometimes get from the IRS, say-
ing that you owe them money?
And you know how you always
pay the money, even if you have
no idea why, because you're
afraid that otherwise you'll be
summoned to an audit and locked
in a room with a beady-eyed,
totally hairless IRS agent who
will demand to see every finan-
cial document you have ever pos-
sessed, including losing Lotto
tickets?
Well, why wouldn't that same
fund-raising technique work on
residents of other nations? We
have the scariest IRS in the
world, dam it, and I say we use it!
We could have the IRS send
incomprehensible tax-due letters
to everybody in, say, France, and
then we'd just sit back and watch
the money pour in. If any French
persons balked at paying, we
would send an Air Force bomber
over there, open the doors, and
drop: an auditor. Just the sight of
him, swinging his parachute,
holding his briefcase in one hand
and his 147-volume set of the
Simplified U.S Tax Code in the
other, should be enough to ensure
total compliance. We would not
necessarily even need the para-
chute.
That's where I stand on the
issues of giving more money to
the elderly without anybody you
know having to pay for it, and
I'm sure that I speak for Colin
Powell when I say, "Speaking of
money, for ease of bookkeeping,
we prefer a larger denomination
of bill." Thank you, America, for
being you.

Ed and Dave Rock Your World
ly Ed Wargula and
Dave Graham
Let's start off with a correc-
tion from last week's article.
Mike Watt is a former member of
FIREHOSE ___»! FIREHOUSE.
We know what we are talking
about and apologize for any con-
fusion due to the typographical
error. FIREHOSE was a band
formed by Ex-Minutemen Mike
Watt and George Hurley along
with Ed Crawdord. FIRE-
HOUSE was a cheesy metal band
from the 80's that has happily
faded into oblivion. Now that
we have that cleared up, we can
proceed with this week's edition
of "Rock Your World".
Sugar brings us their latest
release, "Besides," which is not
an album of new material, but a
collection of B-sides, out takes,
and live songs put together in
album form, some available for
the first time. While some bands
put out products like this to fulfill
contractual obligations or just
cash in on newfound popularity,
the songs on "Besides" are excel-
lent, due in no part to Bob
Mould's songwriting genius.
Also, Sugar has no newfound
popularity to speak of, which is a
shame for a band of this high of a
caliber.
The disc starts off with "Needle
Hits E" and right away, Bob
Mould's distinctive guitar sound
and voice capture the listener's
ear. With Bob Mould's soaring
melodies over the super-tight
rhythm section of David Barbe
on Bass Guitar and Malcolm
Travis on Drums, one may won-
der why this song was an outtake.
Next comes the solo mix of "If
I Can't Change Your Mind," in
contrast to the original version,
this version simply has Bob
Mould accompanying himself on
Acoustic Guitar. Despite the
stripped down arrangement, the
song still remains powerful and
compelling. The song sticks in
your head for hours after listen-
ing to it If the old adage is true
that if you can sit around a camp-
fire and strum a song on an
Acoustic Guitar and it still
sounds good, then it is a well-
written song. "If I Can't Change ( (
Y#\1M» AAsn/J '* — it— tulsl -rxnac tK«r **&_>* ■'
with flying colors.
"Where Diamonds Are Halos"
is a song written and sung by
bass guitarist David Barbe. On
this track Barbe proves that he is
not simply one of Bob Mould's
sidemen, but a good singer and
songwriter as well. Though one
may debate if he is a writer of
Mould's caliber, this song is light
years better than most of the
"Alternative" Grunge numbers
you see repeated on MTV ad nau-
seum by second-rate Nirvana
imitators.
A searing cover of The Who's
"Armenia City In The Sky," per-
formed live, shows Sugar in it's
full live fury. Barbe and Travis
recreate the lock/step groove of
the Who's once infamous, now
legendary Entwistle/Moon
rhythm section. Mould also
delivers Pete Townsend's searing
guitar and sings with a stronger
conviction than Roger Daltrey
has been able to in years. In
short, this is a fine tribute to The
Who, a band that pioneered many
things today's bands take for
granted, before becoming a
bloated Stadium Rock Dinosaur.
"Explode And Make Up" lyri-
cally could be a description of
Mould's pre-Sugar band, Husker
Du, or a documentation of the
disintegration of Sugar, who inci-
dentally have been rumored to
have broken up. Mould is known
to be difficult to work with, so
there may be some substance to
this rumor.
Other standout cuts are the
instrumental "Clownmaster," the
moving "After All The Roads
Have Led To Nowhere," another
Barbe written song "Frustration,"
and the ballad "Believe In What
You're Saying." If you are new
to Sugar, "Besides" is an excel-
lent introduction to the music of
Sugar. Also check out their other
albums "Copper Blue,"
"Beaster," and "File Under Easy
Listening." And if you REALLY
like the Sugar albums, go check
out Bob Mould's previous band
Husker Du. I can almost guaran-
tee that, after hearing any of the
above mentioned discs, your
Green Day CDs will sound bland
and lifeless.
Likewise, I would like to take
the time in this column to address
what I feel is a disturbing trend in
the music world. When Nirvana
broke big with "Smells Like Teen
Spirit," it seemed that a music
revolution that had been brewing
for many years had finally
become a reality. At the time this
happened, radio and MTV were
dominated by Bubblegum
Rappers like MC Hammer and
Vanilla Ice, and cheesy Metal
bands like Whitesnake and Def
Leppard. Music had become safe,
stale and homogenized. Soon,
many underground bands started
to become known in "The
Mainstream". Along with
Nirvana, Seattle's other bands
began to see commercial success.
Pearl Jam was formed from the
ashes of Mother Love Bone, fol-
lowing the death of vocalist
Andrew Wood. They achieved
huge commercial success with
the Lp "Ten". Soundgarden
became a household name with
the success of the album
"Badmotorfmger" and other less-
er known bands like Mudhoney,
Tad, and The Melvins found their
way to major labels. Other bands,
such as Los Angeles' Red Hot
Chili Peppers, also emerged from
the underground to achieve main-
stream success. Punk Rock also
became a hot commodity with
the success of The Offspring and
Green Day.
Around this time, record com-
pany executives began to figure
out what was going on. No longer
were Hair-Rock bands the object
of record company affections, but
the flannel-wearing "Grangers"
took the media's eye. Many for-
mer Metal rockers shed their
leather and spandex and began to
try to follow the trend. Donning
denim and flannel, these musi-
cians tried to copy the new
sounds, which have actually been
around a lot longer than you may
think. This led to an influx of
"Grunge By Numbers" bands
whose music lacks conviction.
These are the bands which I find
to be the beginning of a disturb-
ing trend, what started out new
and exciting is now becoming
stale, safe, and homogenized.
However, it is with great hope in
my heart that somewhere in base-
ments and garages across the
nation, some kids are starting
their own scene, that the music
may once again become fresh
and exciting.
Two local Pennsylvania bands
are featured in this week's article.
Clearfield's LF/T and
Greensburg's Twelve Cup.
Twelve Cup's latest release enti-
tled "see me as i am" features
Clarion's own Tun Krupar on
bass guitar. "See me as i am" is
this hard core bands fifth demo,
but their first studio release. It
contains six crashing songs about
social and emotional issues, as
well as their belief in a drag and
alcohol free existence. While
their influences, such as Earth
Crisis and Clutch, show through,
the music takes on a path of its
own. The almost "death metal"
like vocals and poetic lyrics give
Twelve Cup an original twist in
the endless sea of hard core
bands. I recommend that you
check out "see me as i am" as
well as checking out the band
when they are in your area. For
info on how to get "see me as i
am" contact Tim Krupar at 226-
3719 or E-mail the band at
XTWELVECP@aol.com. LF/T,
which stands for Long Fuse
Trigger, stems out of Clearfield.
Their new seven song release
proves that singing can be just as
intense and emotional as scream-
ing. LF/T's music spirals you
through emotion along the vein
of bands such as Tool and Korn.
The changes that the crunching
guitars and drams go through
make you feel as if you're out of
control and could explode at any
second.
Their amazing vocals add a
catchy feel to their songs and
make them stick in your memory.
They achieve the effect of being
catchy enough to stay with you in
an emotional way rather than a
cheesy Top 40/pop style. Go sup-
port them live and get in touch
with Josh Howell, 311 Spruce St.
#2, Clearfield, PA. 16830,
(814)765-1486, for a copy of
their tape. Both of these PA.
bands prove that bands other
than Live and Rusted Root could
make it from Pennsylvania.
These bands have talent and
should be given support now,
instead of people waiting for
them to be a buzz clip on MTV.

Kappa D elta Rho "Paints the Town Red" I Golden Eagles prepare for PSAC showdown
by Jennifer Founds
Copy and Design Editor
Every fraternity and sorority at
Clarion University take a part in
donating their time and services
to the community. These ser-
vices range from picking up trash
for the Adopt-A-Highway pro-
gram and reading stories to chil-
dren at the Clarion Hospital to
spending time with the elderly at
the Clarion Care facility.
On Monday October 23 at 7pm
the brothers of Kappa Delta Rho
gathered in downtown Clarion to
do a service project for the com-
munity.
They came together to kick off
the Red Ribbon Awareness Week.
Approximately 15 brothers
walked around the town of
Clarion tying red ribbons around
trees, parking meters, signs, and
at the high school to make the
community aware of the week's
meaning.
Brad Olenic, the brother in
charge of community service
projects and philanthropies for
his fraternity volunteered his
brothers for the event after hear-
ing about it at the Community
Service Fair.
Kappa Delta Rho takes part in
other activities such as Adopt-A-
Highway, an annual Rock-A-
Thon to raise money for various
organizations, and a few other
service projects are planned for
this semester.
At the end of the Awareness
Week, the brothers ask for volun-
teers to take part and help remove
the ribbons from the town's trees
and other objects. They will be
meeting at 6:30pm at the Clarion
Memorial Park.
"My brothers and myself are
very committed to serving the
community and doing all we can
to give something back.
Community service is just one
way for us to express our thanks
to both the university and the
Clarion Community," said
Shawn Hoke, KAP brother.

The advantages of being Greek
Courtesy of Pan hell
wny go ureek.'
...Friendship-but even more it is
a sisterhood which soars high
above the casual friendships.
It is often too intangible to
explain.
...Diversity of membership which
provides for a broader under-
standing and acceptance of per-
sonality types and backgrounds.
...Being part of a group experi-
ence-too often lost on today's
campuses. It's teamwork.
...Personal development. One
can only develop fully when she
has an opportunity to interact
with others... the education of self
in relation to others.
...Broadening of dimensions in
college and personal life, service
to others, intellectual stimulation
and encouragement, and cultural
enrichment. These opportunities
are an integral part of Greek life.
A non-Greek must search these
out for herself.
...Ideals. Sororities embrace very
basic ideals built on psychologi-
cal and sociological concepts. It
comprises ritual.. .a pin.. .a belief
in some of the "finer things" this
world can offer.
...Lifetime friendships and
opportunities. Throughout the
U.S. and Canada alumnae groups
offer "instant friendships."
...The pursuit of excellence.
Excellence in responsible behav-
ior and citizenship to combat the
moral jungle.
Membership is not for any and
ail-but for those who are willing
to set common goals and aspira-
tions.
This produces pride and self-
respect.
...Leadership training.
Students become actively
involved in programs with partic-
ular interest in their needs.
Young women are going to go
on to be leaders; almost nowhere
is leadership training offered
today as it is in sororities.
...Responsibility to self, sisters,
fraternity, university and commu-
nity.
With these responsibilities one
develops pride in membership
and an opportunity to "live
beyond one's self."
...A home away from home,
sometimes with a house director
with whom the members can
confide and seek help.
...Scholastic help. Sororities seek
to help individuals develop
scholastically to their utmost -
providing encouragement, study
facilities and upperclassmen who
help as "tutors" if desired.
...Individuality. Sororities
encourage individuality - they do
not breed conformity. Common
purposes must be worked out, but
creativity is always encouraged!
...A primary sociological group.
There are only a few important
primary groups in American soci-
ety - the family, the elementary
classroom, the church group, the
team, and the college fraternity
and sorority.
In a primary group, members
meet face-to-face frequently, and
are extremely influential in shap-
ing the behavior and character
formation of younger members.
Primary groups help the indi-
vidual adjust to and identify with
society, and they help in the
achievement of a stable personal-
ity.
GREEKS ARE: TRADI-
TION, CHANGE, FLEX-

More Than Meets the Eye

Panhellenic Council

Sororities and fraternities take part in a variety of activities on
and off campus, that non-Greeks may not know about.
Some people may wonder, "Why should I join a Greek organi-
zation?" Although there are many different organizations on the
Clarion University campus which are represented with Greek let
ters, the sororities on campus have a lot more to them than meets
the eye. *
A list of facts to inform those who were pondering their answer
to the above question might help with a decision.
♦For the 1994-95 school year, sororities at Clarion University
raised $1,600 toward their philanthropies.
♦Out of all university students and staff on campus, the sororities
accumulated one-third of the total community service hours.
♦The Spring 1995 Scholarship Report showed that the all sorority
women GPA of 2.852 is above the all-campus GPA of 2.825
(Three sororities had a GPA above a 3.0. Five had a GPA above
all campus total.)
♦85% of all Supreme court Justices since 1900 have been Greek
including the first African- American male and the first woman.

Three PSAC-West teams head
into this Saturday's games unde-
feated and all look to capture the
PSAC-West Championship and a
berth in The NCAA Division II
playoffs.
Clarion, one of those undefeat-
ed teams, and picked by the
PSAC-West coaches to finish 6th
in the pre-season poll, is the long-
shot, while pre-season favorites
Indiana and Edinboro are in posi-
tion as predicted.
On Saturday, October 28th,
Clarion hosts talented Slippery
Rock at Memorial Stadium in a
lpm kickoff .
An important game for the
Golden Eagles, Clarion doesn't
want to break stride in its 1995
stretch run.
The Eagles are scheduled to fin-
ish the year visiting Indiana on
November 11.
Meanwhile, Indiana travels to
Edinboro this Saturday in a make
or break game for both teams.
"We have die utmost respect for
Slippery Rock and know that
they have a very strong football
team," analyzed Clarion head
coach Malen Luke.
"Our focus must be on this
week and this game," hecontin-
AldertotL Laflin lead the wav
ued. "They played Edinboro a
very tough game last week and
are better than their 4-4 record
indicates. They played a tough
schedule, including a close loss at
Youngstown State. The Rock is a
very well-coached, disciplined
and physical football team with
an explosive offense and a hard-
hitting defense. We'll need to
play an error free game if we
expect to win."
Clarion's offense is averaging
35.6 points and 468.7 yards of
total offense per game.
The Eagles are getting 214.3
yards rushing and 254.4 yards
through the air.
Chris Weibel is expected to
return after sitting out last week's
game against California.
Weibel has completed 110 of
174 passes for 1,400 yards and 11
TD's.
The running game is led by Ail-
American Steve Witte.
Witte has 100 carries for 642
yards and 12 TD's, plus has
caught 31 passes for 375 yards
andlTD.
Witte was also named PSAC
Offensive Player of the Week for
the 3rd time this past week for his
performance against Cal.
Witte rushed for 98 yards and
2 TD's, and also caught 6 Mike
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call
Coach Luke and the Golden Eagles take on Slippery Rock
in a key PSAC-West matchup this Saturday.
Forney passes for 61 yards.
Ron Dejidas and Godfrey
Bethea join Witte in the backfield
to give coach Luke a powerful
running arsenal.
Dejidas has 83 carries for 389
yards and 3TD's, while Bethea
has 40 carries for 136 yards and
3TD's.
Ready to catch Weibel's passes
are wideouts Chris Skultety,
Alvin Slaughter and Mark Witte.
Skultety leads the team with 35
catches for 494 yards and 4TD's.
Slaughter, who also sat out
against California, will return
against the Rockets. He has 29
catches for 375 yards and 3 TD's,
while Mark Witte has caught 19
passes for 225 yards and 3 TD's.
Clarion's defense is yielding
18.3 points and 349 yards of total
offense per game, opponents are
getting 83 rushing and 266 pass-
ing yards per game. Kim
Niedbala, the Golden Eagles Ail-
American free safety leads the
team in tackles with 74.
Niedbala was also named to the
PSAC-West Defensive Honor
roll for the fifth time this past
week.
Erik Baumener is second in
tackles with 61, and has 2 inter-
ceptions and one sack.
Baumener played an exception-
al game against Cal, and was a
big reason Clarion was able to
get the victory.
Slippery Rock's offense is aver-
aging 21.5 ppg and 353.3 total
yards offense per game.
On defense, Slippery Rock has
played well in 1995 limiting
opponents to 320.8 yards of total

Cross Country teams prepare for PSAC's
by Terry John
Sports Writer
The cross country teams had a
great day at Gettysburg on
Saturday.
"We did very well on
Saturday," said coach Mooney.
The only bad thing was that
most of the teams that finished
ahead of us are from the PSAC,"
he added.
The women were led by
Christine Stamm, who finished
15th according to unofficial
results.
"All the scores, times, and
places are mixed up, but at least
we know where the team fin-
ished," stated coach Mooney.
Along with Stamm, Clarion had
four runners in the top 100.
Bridgette Laflin was 26th,
Roxanne Wilson finished 45th,
Lisa Benlock finished 85th, and
Karen Reinking was 87th.
Rounding out the field for
Clarion was Cherie Zurko
(107th, Bobbie Manross (118th),
Lynn Baluh (132nd), and Kristy
Mares (212th).
A total of 236 women finished
the course. Cedarville, Ohio fin-
ished first, while Clarion took 9th
out of 29 teams.
Men's results are also unoffi-
cial.
While the Golden Eagles were
on their way to an 11th place fin-
ish, the Millersville Marauders
easily took first.
Clarion had only three runners
in the top 100, as Brad Alderton
finished 36th, Scott Reffner fin-
ished 51st, and Tom Brady fin-
ished 65th.
"We thought we had at least one
more in the top 100, but accord-
ing to these results Mike Cox fin-
ished 115th," stated Mooney.
"The kids had mud from head
to toe, but they really enjoyed
themselves," Mooney added.
Clarion closes the season by
traveling to Kutztown for the
PSAC Championships, which
will be held this Saturday,
October 28th.
"IUP, Slippery Rock, Edinboro
and Millersville are the teams to
beat(women's)," according to
coach Mooney.
On the men's side, Edinboro,
IUP, Slippery Rock,
Shippensburg, and Millersville
are teams to watch, according to
coach Mooney.
Coach Pat Mooney(Pictured
and women's cross country
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call

teams to successful seasons.

Golden Eagle Netters prepare for PSAC's
by John Sarver
Sports Writer
Coach Teiry Acker feels good
about the teams chances to stir
things up in Hershey this week-
end as the Clarion University
women's tennis team travels to
this year's PSAC
Championships.
"Although our record is just
below .500(6-7), we have been
playing well the past few weeks.
If we stay focused and cut down
our mental mistakes, we should
finish in the top five. If not, we
could move down to seventh or
eighth," Acker stated.
The Eagles scored a big upset
victory over Slippery Rock in the
last week of the regular season.
The lineup for the PSAC cham-
pionships will be the same group
the Eagles used all year.
Leading the way will once
again be Melodi Dess. Mel fin-
ished the year with a 6-7 singles
record at #1 singles, but had a 4-
3 conference mark.
Amy O'neal will try her hand
at #2 singles. She had a 2-11
mark in singles this year.
Coach Acker thinks Amy has a
better chance than most people
think.
The fast Hershey courts are
another concern for Coach Acker.
"The court surface at Hershey
was made for power players,"
said Acker. "Amy is a power hit-
ter. If she can connect on her first
serve opportunities, she might
prove to be better than her record
indicates."
"The surface of the courts there
makes the matches much faster,"
explained Acker.
"I've had the team practicing on
the gym surface to get used to the
fast pace. If we can handle the
service and move to the net more,
we will fare pretty well in each
match," Acker added.
At #3 singles will be Brooke
Drayer. She ended the year with
a 3-4 PSAC mark, and 6-7 over-
all.
Kristen Golia is on a roll at #4
singles.
After dropping her first four
matches, Kristen ran off nine
straight victories.
Unfortunately, three of her four
losses were to PSAC foes.
"Kristen started slow, but is
playing great tennis right now,"
stated Acker.
"If she keeps the same attitude,
she will do well," he added.

Melodi Dessfabove) leads
the Lady Golden Eagles.
career high five wins this season.
Her PSAC mark is 4-3.
The best chance the Eagles
have at gaining a seeded player
will be at #6 singles.
Maureen Williams has been
mowing down opponents all year
long.
Her season record is 9-3,
including a blazing 6-1 confer-
ence record.
Doubles tandems will feature
Dess and O'neal at #1, Drayer
and Golia at #2, and Unkefer and
Williams at #3. Dess and O'neal
had a 5-7 record this year.
Drayer and Golia were 6-6 this
season, including winning 6 of
their last 7 matches.
Unkefer and Williams compiles
an 8-4 mark this season.
"They have been preparing for
the PSAC Championships all
season," lamented Acker.
"They only need to move up a
notch on the intensity chart and
they can open up some eyes in
Hershey," be added.
The lady Golden Eagles won
five consecutive PSAC titles
from 1986-90. In 1991, Clarion
was 7-1 in the regular season, but
finished fourth at the
Championships.
Last year, the lady Golden
Eagles finished sixth, while
Shippensburg took the crown.
This season, coach Acker sees
Shippensburg being a contender,
but feels that Bloomsburg is the
team to beat.
This year Clarion hopes to con-
tinue to improve and hopefully
surprise some people.
"Shipp and The Rock (Slippery
Rock) have great teams, but
Bloomsburg is undefeated in dual
matches and they are strong at all
six positions, as well as the three
doubles spots," praised Acker.
Acker has a 6-year dual meet
record of 41 -26.
Clarion has a dual record of 98-
27 over the last ten seasons.
Bloomsburg is the only undefeat-
ed team going into the
Championships (11-0).
Slippery Rock (11-4),
Shippensburg (9-5), and
Kutztown(7-4) all expect to chal-
lenge for the 1995 crown.
Spikers prepare for California
by Amy Mortimer
Sports Writer
As the volleyball season comes
to a close, the Lady Golden
Eagles have taken some hard hits,
but continue to bounce back.
This past week has been a busy
one for the team as they traveled
to Indiana, Edinboro, and the
California Tournament.
Against IUP last Tuesday, the
Lady Golden Eagles played four
close, hard hitting games,
although Indiana eventually
pulled out the win.
The scores were 13-15, 5-15,
16-14, and 15-17.
Mandy Kirby led the team with
28 digs and 18 kills. Nicole
Flambard had 27 digs and 11
spikes.
Jenny Betters slammed home
12 kills and also had 12 digs, and
Mindy Conley had 137 attempts,
37 assists, and 15 digs.
Friday and Saturday, the spikers
attended the California
Tournament. The opponents
were South Carolina-Aikens,

West Virginia Wesleyan,
Quinnipac, and Bowie State.
South Carolina-Aikens defeat-
ed the Lady Golden Eagles in
four games by the scores of: 7-
15, 15-9, 11-15, and 5-15.
Betters had 17 kills and
Flambard had 16 digs.
Conley had 99 attempts and 25
assists.
West Virginia Wesleyan swept
the spikers by the scores of: 6-15,
6-15, and 8-15.
Kirby had 15 digs and 7 kills.
Betters had 8 kills and Flambard
chipped in with 10 digs.
The Lady Golden Eagles
stormed back and swept
Quinnipac by the scores of: 15-
10, 15-9, and 15-11.
The spikers came together as a
team against Quinnipac, and
dominated them from side to
serve.
The spikers once again got out
the broom and easily swept away
Bowie State by the scores of: 15-
4, 15-2, and 15-2.

This past Tuesday, the team
packed their gear and headed
north on 1-80 to take on the Lady
Scots of Edinboro University.
Although Edinboro defeated
Clarion 4-15, 8-15, and 8-15, it
didn't dampen coach Jody Bums'
spirits.
"They are a good team. They
are ranked #1 in the state and 3rd
in regionals," Bums stated.
"We played well with spurts of
greatness that is promising for
next year," Burns added. Betters
led the team with 8 kills and 5
digs.
"Jenny had a good game and
played very hard," commented
Burns. "Mindy Conley also had
a very good game," she added.
Next Tuesday is senior night, as
the Lady Vulcans of California
University travel to Tippin
■ Gymnasium.
The final home match of the
season is November 3rd as
Slippery Rock Travels into
Tippin Gym.
It will be Clarion fan night,
with prizes for fans who come

tests, as well as banners to pump
up the team.

be held on November 11-12.

The Best Seat in the House
by Scott Feldman
Sports Writer
Now that the New York
Yankees have Dwight Gooden,
Darryl Strawberry, and Steve
Howe on their roster, I want to
know if the Bronx Bombers will
play their home games at the
Betty Ford Clinic!
These three former Major
League Baseball drug offenders
together on the same team is like
putting three alcoholics on a bar
stool and expecting them to drink
water.
I just want to know which one
of these millionaires gets banned
first. Now on with this week's no
holds barred column.
Sticking with the topic of base-
ball, the World Series is off to a
great start.
The Atlanta Braves, led by their
strong pitching staff, have
jumped out to a series lead
against the Cleveland Indians.
Game one showed why Greg
Maddux is not only the best
pitcher this year, but maybe of all
time.
Maddux mowed the Tribes
explosive bats down with pitches
that were painting the black on
the comer of the plate.
Belle, Baerga, Ramirez and Co.
were clueless as Maddux fired
his two hitter in the game's open-
er.

per hour range.
Maddux has established that
even though the hitters are great,
this series is going to be decided
by which pitcher steps it up and
controls the other team.
The ancient arms of the Indians
seem to be getting tired as the
season nears an end.
Orel Hershiser and Dennis
Martinez began to tire out in the
middle innings, something that
didn't happen against the Red
Sox or the Mariners.
Hershiser totally lost control in
the seventh inning and walked
the first two hitters he faced
before giving the mound up to
lefty Paul Assenmacher.
The walks and the inning
proved disaterous for the Tribe as
Atlanta scored the go ahead runs
and won the game.
For the Tribe to get back in to
this series, it's going to take a
sweep back home at Jacobs Field.
The Indians need to get over the
mental burden that the Braves
pitching staff has placed on the
Erie "Warriors" hitters.
The Indians bats need a wake
up call or their first trip to the
World Series in 41 years will be
disastrous.
Speaking of disasters, how
about what's happening in
Pittsburgh, Miami and
Cleveland.
All three teams were everyones
forecasted AFC representatives
in the Super Bowl. Two of these
teams, Miami and Pittsburgh,
have suffered devastating injuries
to key players and Cleveland has
just not played up to their poten-
tial.
The Dolphins have lost All-
Conference QB Dan Marino and
free agent tight end Eric Green
and have fallen in their last three
contests.
Pittsburgh lost their all every-
thing comerback Rod Woodson
in the first game of the year and
the secondary has been burned
for long touchdowns ever since.
Last weeks game saw upstart
Jeff Blake and the Cincinnati
Bengals go deep on the Steelers
and leave Three Rivers Stadium
with an impressive victory.
If the Steelers, who incidently
still are in a three way tie for first
place, don't go to the store and
spend some money for a quality
defensive back they will be able
to sit and watch tv. come playoff
time.
The Steelers dream of a Super
Bowl will go by them faster than
a receiver by the secondary unit.
Over in Cleveland, the "mistakes
by the lake" continue to struggle
under the leadership of Vinny
"Intercept"averde.
Either Vinny is color blind or he
gets a real rise out of throwing
the ball to the opposite team.
He wasn't able to lead the
Buccaneers to the next level and
the way he has been passing late-
ly, the Browns are not going to go
anywhere either.
On an upbeat note, the K.C.
Chiefs have not missed a beat
with Steve Bono replacing Joe
Montana. Bono and Hall of
Fame veteran Marcus Allen have
propelled the Chiefs to a 7-1
record.
The way this team is playing,
they are going to be the ones who
will play the 49ers or the
Cowboys come late January.
The NBA pre-season is winding
down as the teams get ready to
play games that actually count.
My sleeper of the year is the
Washington Bullets.
The Bullets have put together a
nucleus of young talent and have
acquired some much needed
experience to contend with the
Knicks and Magic.
Through the years the Bullets
have acquired the likes of Calbert
Cheaney, Juwan Howard, and
Rasheed Wallace in the college
draft and with the recent resur-
rection of "Big" George Muresan
this team could have been pretty
good.
Look for the Bullets to open a
lot of eyes this year.
However, in the last few years
G.M. John Nash has gone out in
the free agent market and signed
Chris Webber and sharspshooter
Mark Price to add to this group of
young talent.
On paper this foundation of tal-
ent could contend for the Eastern
championship.
The only obstacle for the team
seems to be the health of Webber.
Webber re-injured his left shoul-
der and the setback could require
surgery.
If so, Webber could be out sev-
eral months, putting a fold in the
Bullets title hopes. With a
healthy Webber, the Bullets could
go back to the days of Wes
Unseld and Co.
I'm only stopping here to take
my foot out of my mouth as I cut
Notre Dame to shreds last week
and they proved me wrong by
destroying USC last weekend.
Jacksonville, Carolina, and some other tidbits
by Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
With the half-way point in the
NFL sneaking upon us, you have
to be impressed with the expan-
sion Jacksonville Jaguars and
Carolina Panthers.
Who thought that these teams
would have five wins so far
between them? Granted, they've
beaten the worst teams in the
league, but they have also beaten
the good teams as well
(Jacksonville has defeated the
Steelers and the Browns).
Jacksonville is only a game and a
half out of first place in the AFC
Central and fans of the Jags are
talking playoffs.... what?
The reason these teams are
doing well as they are is a result
of the great coaching staffs they
have. Tom Coughlin for
Jacksonville and Dom Capers
heading Carolina have not taken
an expansion attitude into the
1995 season.
Blend that in with veteran play-
ers and eager rookies, and you
got NFL history. Yes, for the first
time in NFL history, two expan-
sion teams won on the same day.
Now, I'm sure you're not going
to ask someone 5 years from
now, " where were you when the
two expansion teams won on the
same day," but this is one of
many crazy happenings in the
NFL after 8 weeks ( watch for my
midway awards next week here
in the Call).
Why doesn't Clarion get an
expansion team? Heck, we're

about as big as Milwaukee, and
they got a team. Wouldn't that be
cool?
They could play at Memorial
Stadium, of course it would have
to be refurbished with a 378%
increase in the town taxes and
universities tuition, but it's going
up all the time anyway, so what
the heck? We would play in the
AFC Central so we could have
the best shot at winning the divi-
sion.
Our first draft pick would be
quarterback Chris Weibel from
right here at Clarion. We could
"boost" the offense and sign
Barry Foster for peanuts because
Barry would play for peanuts for
anyone right now.
Our team name and logo could
be decided by the town residents
and college students, but I'm
already partial to my own cre-
ation, the "Clarion
Copperheads."
Okay enough of my daydream-
ing. Speaking of dreaming, will
the Northwestern football squad
ever wake up from their Rose
Bowl dreams? After passing Big
10 test after Big 10 test, including
stunning Michigan, the
Northwestern team drubbed Penn
State beating Wisconsin 35-0 last
Saturday.
Only they and Ohio State have
perfect records in the Big 10, but
if you think you are going to see
a mega match-up in November
bouting these two teams, keep
looking.
Because of this years schedul-
ing, Ohio State and Northwestern
do not play. If both teams go
undefeated after league play is
done, the team that hasn't been to
the Rose Bowl the longest goes.
You guessed it, Northwestern

The Clarion Call
Negotiations bein% hand led bv APSCUF
Professor contract negotiations are underway
by Matt Geesey
News Writer
The first meeting to start the
negotiations of new professor
contracts in the fall was held on
October 30 in Hart Chapel.
This meeting is part of a series
of meetings to implement a new
contract by the end of the
summer. If a new contract is not
adopted, professors across the
state could be on the picket lines.
The negotiations for
professors are being handled by
the Association of Pennsylvania
State College and University
Faculty (APSCUF).
The president of the Clarion
chapter is Mr. William Fulmer, a
professor in Administrative
Science.
All state schools have a
president of their chapter who
will serve on the negotiations
team. The chief negotiator is
James Cowden, attorney at law.
Other members of the team
include Barry Benson from
Bloomsburg, Sally Ross from
East Stroudsburg, Marie
Paysesch from Edinboro, Jack
Kadi u bow ski from Indiana,
Donald Mayer from
Shippensburg, and Steve
Gagliordo from Slippery Rock.
The team will be bargaining for
a contract that will affect all of
the professors at every state
school in Pennsylvania.
The team is looking at a multi-
year contract similar to their
current contract which was
implemented in 1994 and is up
next year.
The State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) also released
their negotiation team. The chief
negotiator is Thomas Giotto, an
attorney from Pittsburgh. The
other members of the team are
Mary Carr, the acting director of
labor relations at the
Chancellor's office; Joseph
Gruenwald, dean of the College
of Business Administration at
'The faculty will
do everything we
can to avoid a
strike and come
to a reasonable
agreement.*
Mr. William
Fulmer
Clarion University; Albert
Hoffman, dean of the School of
Science and Management at
Millersville University; William
Schweitzer, Associate Vice-
President for Human Resource
Services at West Chester
University; and Mark
Staszkievicz, the Provost and
Vice-President for Academic
Affairs at Indiana university of
Pennsylvania.
This team reports back to the
Board of Governors of the State
System of Education in
Harrisburg. The board of
Governors is presided by
Governor Tom Ridge and has
every state university president
on the board.
Mr. Fulmer proposes there
might be changes in
supplemental pay for faculty.
Professors at Clarion University
receive 30 percent of their pay
for summer school. Other state
schools receive a flat rate.
The concept of supplemental
pay also includes paid
sabbaticals, which has been an
ongoing controversy for months.
Mr. Fulmer suggests the buy
back of unused sick leave as a
remedy for the salary cutbacks,
if there are any.
Currently, there are no
scheduled meetings between the
two negotiation teams.
The teams will meet together
with their proposed agreements.
Each team will then decide on
one final agreement and will
bring it back to their general
consortium.
This process could take months
if either team has problems with
the suggested contracts.
On the issue of a possible
strike, Mr Fulmer said "The
faculty will do everything we
can to avoid a strike and to come
to a reasonable agreement Tune
is running out though.
"We are concerned about your
concerns. We are also concerned
about increases in tuition,** he
added.
Enrollment increases by four percent
by Amy O'Keefe
News Writer
The State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) reported a
four percent increase for the
current semester on October IS.
Due to this increase, the total
population of students is now
5,860 students.
Freshman enrollment increased
dramatically by 24.6 percent
with a total of 1,333 first time
students as opposed to the 1,070
figure last year.
Clarion University's enrollment
figures at present time are 5,390
undergraduate students and 470
graduate students.
A 2.7 percent increase for
undergraduate enrollment and a
21.1 percent increase for
graduate students was also
reported. A breakdown of the
university population displays
5,172 students attending Clarion
Campus, and 688 attending
Venango Campus.
A Connection Customer
Service Training Program will be
provided to faculty through the
office of Human Resources. The
program is concerned with
addressing all issues which are
related to enrollment
management The program was
implemented to ensure that
quality service is provided to
students. The Connections
program was first offered
through the consulting firm
Noel-Levitz. The program was
reviewed by the office of Human
Resources and was approved by
the Presidents' Executive
Council. The training is
mandatory to all staff employees.
The first group of staff to
participate in the program began
training on October 24, 1995.
The goal of the Connections
Program is to have 250
employees trained by June,
1996.

Editorial
Addressing
some issues
Kraifi
Koelsch
I feel that it is time for me to com-
ment on tome of the material mat has
been printed in the letters to the edi-
tor section of The Clarion Call.
Indeed, everyone, according to
their first amendment rights, is enti-
tled to voice their opinions, but some
people have abused these rights.
I agree with Ms. LaVieta Lerch that
homosexuality is not a normal
lifestyle, but the way that Ms. Lerch
structured her opinion leaves a lot to
be desired.
Once again, I want to establish my
point that I do not believe gay and
lesbian lifestyles are normal, but,
Ms. Lerch, you should read Dr.
Emissee's Hide Park and you will be
able to see that you can get a point
across without being vulgar.
Hate is a strong word and I can
honestly say I do not hate anyone,
but, Ms. Lerch, it sounds as if you are
a very troubled person.
I'm not sure if you are trying to
honestly get an opinion across, or
just see how much controversy that
you can stir up. Maybe you just want
to be a celebrity, but next time you
would be better off using your head
before using your mouth.
Do not take this as a personal
attack, because it isn't I am just try-
ing to explain to you that words are
very powerful, and you could put
them to use a little better than you
have.
Another area I would like to touch
on was a letter written by Dr. Lisa
Johnson of the Music department.
In her letter, Dr. Johnson stated,
'To me, the greater issue is the sad
fact that our own student newspaper-
has sunk so low as to print — and thus
at least passively condone — shame-
less bigotry and poisonous hatred."
Dr. Johnson has suggested that "the
homosexuality debate."(which was a
kicker headline used in the October
1 9th issue of Tins Clarion Cain was
inappropriate.
Dr. Johnson suggested to call it "the
homophobia debate". This might
have been a better choice, but I do
not feel that the kicker headline used
was inappropriate.
To say that the newspaper has sunk
so low is just a sign of a very frus-
trated person. Since I became Sports
Editor in January 1995, 1 have seen
The ClsTion Call improve greatly
overall. I think that you are trying
to make a big deal out of nothing. A
kicker headline is used to make the
articles more noticeable, nothing
else.
For you to openly criticize The
Clarion Call shows me that you have
nothing else better to do, but it is
your right and I respect your opinion.
Finally, to Mr. Kenneth F. Emerick

It is common at this time of year
to see articles both scholarly and
not so scholarly on the meaning of
Halloween and its associated sym-
bols. Halloween is associated with
a lot of "pagan," pre-Christian
imagery that over the years has
come to represent things scary if
not downright evil. Among the
most ancient of these pre-Christian
survivals are representations of the
Horned Goat The "Horned Goat
God" probably represents one of
the oldest religious images ever
recorded, showing up on caves of
upper Paleolithic people in Europe
during the last Ice Age. The
Horned Goat figure subsequently
became common in many different
cultural belief systems and various
"homed figures" show up all over
Europe well before the advent of
Christianity. The 9th century
church condemned this imagery

and accused people associated with
it of reverting to wickedness and
evil. Goats have appeared in the
religious symbolism of many cul-
tures in a more favorable perspec-
tive then the one portrayed by
medieval Christianity. Goats are
mentioned in the Bible 136 times,
and there are 1 1 direct references to
them in the Old Testament which
point up their worth (Jacob
received spotted goats as wages).
One should also note that the
Hebrew ritual on the Day of
Attonement involved a "scape-
goat" where the priest confessed
over a live goat the sins of the chil-
dren of Israel which was then dri-
ven off into the wilderness. Goats
frequently appear in the religious
symbolism of widely diverse cul-
tures; in ancient Greek and Roman
mythology, the god of shepherds,
Pan, son of Mercury, was half goat.
The chariots of Thor in
Scandinavian mythology were
drawn by a pair of goats. Mendes is
portrayed as the goat-god of
ancient Egypt As a matter of fact,
the Pharoah Gephorenes had 2,234
of these critters entombed with him
at the pyramid of El Gezeh. I •
should also like to point out that
Capricornus has for centuries ben
the 10th sign of the zodiac, and
Capricorn is a major goat constella-
tion in die southern skies. Aware of
these things, and other goaty corre-
lations with diverse supernatural
belief systems, I've been surprised
to find little scholarly reference or
explanation as to why goats have
played such a major world-wide
role in religious imagery since the
earliest known times. Few other
animals have been singled out for
such attention.
A little practical experience with
goats has done much to answer my
own questions regarding the focus
of goats in religious imagery. Since
I had been "getting her goat" for a
long while, I decided to give my
wife a real one as an anniversary
present. I've had a small herd
around my barn ever since. Few fc
people in our society experiment
with these animals. About all they
conjure up for us is the expression
in poor taste "...horny as a billy
goat." Very few people have any
idea why goats have been singled
out to represent this expression for
sexual readiness. Be honest now,
have you ever actually seen a billy
goat, much less one "sexually
aroused"? Probably not If you had,
you would probably understand
why goats are frequently associat-
ed with things supernaturally men-
acing, semi-human with horns.
Modern Biologists know that
these animals are seasonal breeders
whose sexual behavior is con-
trolled by hormones produced by
their endocrine system, which is
activated by the length of the days
which vary according to the sea-
son. Another way of saying this, is
that they are only sexually aroused
and receptive in the autumn of the
year. This is Mother Nature's way
of seeing to it that the newborn
kids don't arrive in a winter snow
storm, but the springtime, 155 days
after conception when their
chances of survival are much
greater. This means that goats start
to mate around the beginning
November-the date on the Ancient
Celtic Calendar marking the start
of a new year and the mating ani-
mals-Halloween. So, what has the
phototropical triggered endocrine
system of goat reproductive behav-
ior got to do with all those ancient
religious symbols and ceremonies?
You need to actually observe the
reproductive behavior of goats to
fully comprehend it No amount of
carefully composed description
will suffice. The expression "horny
as a billy goat" forever takes on
new meaning if you do. First of all,
goats (and Particularly male goats
in the breeding season) are capable
of standing upright balancing on
their backlegs. The profile is dis-
concertingly humane when they
do. Very few animals on this earth
can be confused with a human pro-
file. You will never confuse the sil-
houette of a person standing in the
doorway at dusk with other crea-
tures unless you happen to have a
goat "standing there."
More than once I've gone out
after dark to do chores in my bam
and missed my billy goat only to
see him out of the corner of my
eye, standing upright in the shad-
ows. At this time of year, a male
goat whose sensitive nose detects a
few females will make a most
unearthly noise. I'm not talking
about the bleating and bah-ing of
nursery rhymes. I'm talking about
a terrible SCREAM. In the sense of
a Hollywood chiller. As Halloween
approaches, remember that some
things that go bump in the night
might be goats, or they may be sur-
viving shadows reflecting the lost
sentiment of your early ancestors.

"One hardly insinuates anything when writing a eulogy"
Dear Editor,
It is not entirely my place to
respond to Ms. LaVieta Lerch's
attack on the gay and lesbian
community and it's life style (Call.
Oct 19,1995). Gays and lesbians on
campus have already done so more
eloquently than I, i.e., Ms Monica
L. Shearer's letter which appeared in
the same issue. And, I am sure, other
responses will follow, in light of the
virulence of Ms Lerch's remarks.
I want merely to limit myself to
her comments about me and my
deceased brother John. She mentions
that my "letter" was "conveniently"
written. In the first place, it wasn't a
letter but a eulogy which I read after
a Catholic priest (gay himself and
fully accepted by his bishop - both
of whom are Christians as is the
Catholic Church itself, if there are
any doubts) delivered his own
eulogy and blessing.
In the second place, I don't
understand what Ms. Lerch means
by "conveniently". Does she mean
to imply that I wrote it
"conveniently" to coincide with the
gay and lesbian movement here at
Clarion? In which case is one to
infer that my brother "conveniently"
died also to coincide with the
movement? While he agonized in a
bed with a tumor growing in his
brain, while my family and I
agonized, was he merely plotting
with the gay and lesbian community
of Clarion to commit some heinous
homosexual crime — on the order of
which Ms. Lerch mentions — up
here on die sanctified grounds of this
community? I think Ms. Lerch
should be ashamed.
Ms. Lerch sums up one point of
my eulogy very accurately: I did
emphasize that my brother's life-
style was "normal and natural". I
laud her astute observation. My
brother — as in the case of the
majority of gay people I have
known — realized that he was gay
beginning when he was a child. He
didn't choose to be so. He was
attracted to men and it was as simple
as that He was persecuted because
of this, was beaten on one occasion
because of it and, throughout his
life, had to be careful because gays,
unlike straights, never know when or
where some idiot will attack them
for no reason but to prove something
to him/herself — though I couldn't
begin to explain what that something
is. If he could have changed, he may
have, if for no other reason than to
avoid having always to be on guard.
As he grew older, though, I don't
believe he would have changed,
even for this reason, his life, rich in
friendship and love, for any other.
How can you change your sexual
orientation anyway? It is you and it
can't be beaten or persuaded out of
you. Try it yourself sometime
whoever wishes. Get beaten. Do it
once a week, maybe. In the end,
though, I think you shall remain
whatever you were to begin with,
quite simply because it is you.
Ms. Lerch misses my point,
however, when she states that I
insinuated that the gay life style was
better than the straight one. In the
first place, one hardly "insinuates"
anything when writing a eulogy. In
the second, I stated that John was in
a unique position to bridge the gap
of communication that often exists
between the sexes.
Bridges, now, are neutral things.
One can cross them or stay behind,
build them or destroy them. As a gay
man, he had the potential of
understanding both sexes in a way
that total identification with one sex
may easily preclude. He chose to use
this potential. He was a counselor.
At his wake, the funeral directors
bad to open two chapels to
accommodate all the people who
had come to pay their last respects.
These were people from all walks of
life, gay and straight and many of
them came to me with a personal
remembrance about how my brother
had helped them.
I was pleased to note that many
were Hispanic or African American,
whom John had hired as temporary
workers during New York
University's registration periods (He
worked at NYU from when be was a
student there). Their story was
usually very similar: My brother had
managed to find a permanent
position for them and, eventually,
had convinced them to enter the
University itself. One Hispanic
woman said my brother was a
Latino, "he thought like us." People
came because John had understood
them. They came because he had
helped them. They came because
he'd always maintained an open
mind to all, even if he could not
fully understand their life situation
— what had made them what they
were. Was he superior because he
was gay? No, of course not. He was
superior because he took the
attributes he had been given and
used them and developed them to
serve others and help them raise
themselves to their highest potential.
Ms. Lerch, I know that you will be
praying for my soul. I, in turn, shall
pray for your mind and for the day
that it opens to all humanity in the
sense that is at the base of all
religions and absent from all cults. I
refer to the religious desire to
include and understand all people
within a community of love.

"You have told us all that homosexuals should keep to themselves
95
Dear Editor
Is it just me or is it true that every
time LaVieta Lerch steps behind a
word processor she manages to sink
to a lower and more narrow level of
human thought? Ms. Lerch, you say
you are against homosexual abuses
of the body and you have listed
some rather graphic occurrences. It'
might not surprise you to hear that
these ways of expressing sex play
(fisting and golden showers) are just
as common among the heterosexual
community. Chances are that what
we find disgusting about it
homosexual people also find
disgusting. Perhaps you feel that
any sex play that does not involve
reproduction is wrong. In that case,
what are we, as heterosexuals,
doing using such methods of sex
such as oral manipulation or using
condoms for that matter. Would you
suggest that two people in a
monogamous relationship whether it
be hetero or homosexual, should not
be able to experiment with the
sexuality and creativity that makes
us human? You have told us all that
homosexuals should keep to
themselves because the heterosexual
world does not openly express its
sexuality and preferences for the
world. Does this mean that I am
hallucinating when I turn on talk
shows and see nothing but sex
topics, when I open a magazine and
see articles such as "10 Steps to
Becoming An Expert Lover". In
case it is not abundantly clear,
heterosexuals have saturated the
world so much with talk of then-
own sexuality it has become a
common occupancy to accept it
without even knowing that you have
seen it. Imagine how you would
feel, Ms. Lerch, if all the world
suddenly found homosexuality to be
the best way to live, if all magazines
and conversations were somehow
geared towards homosexuality; bow
would you feel as a heterosexual
then? The answer: you would feel
ripped off because of a need to
explore die sexual feelings inside of
you without being able to read about
it, to hear about it, or even to
practice it without narrow-minded
people blaming you for the woes of
a world that has gone bad. These
woes, Ms. Lerch mentioned as
disease and drug abuse have nothing
to do with one culture of people.
The people of this world are more
experimental, more open, more risk
taking, and some would say more
evil. This does not exclude
heterosexuals. I am so sick of this
world and its willingness to pass
blame from one group to another
and the whole time no one even lifts
a finger to solve any problems.
Hetero and Homosexuals are to
blame for this world's woes, young
and old, teachers and students,
jocks and nerds, druggies and
alcoholics; we all have a stake in the
world as a whole and its problems :
< are our problems regardless of race,
creed, or sexual preference. About
normality: strictly speaking Norms
are defined by society, true, but
society is always changing. What is
normal for one generation, based on
statistics, is not the same for the
next So, if it is found when the
next census is completed, that the
majority of the world is homosexual,
would you suddenly become
homosexual simply to help define
the norms?
No, I don't think that you
would. So, how can you expect a
group of people who are different
from you to change themselves just
to satisfy the norms that you hold in
front of you like a shield. In this
world, norms are a way of hiding,
of dodging deep and analytical
thought and of justifying the way in
which people who adhere to the way
norms live. Ms. Lerch has also
given us several bible references, but
she has casually left out the ones
about "judging not lest you be
judged" and "be who is without sin
casting the first stone." We know
you are not a perfect Christian,
LaVieta, the only perfect Christian
there ever was crucified, so you
would be doing us all a great favor if
you stopped trying to keep up the
masquerade.

Getting students involved with kids is a great idea
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to
recognize something that means a
lot to me. I would like to "THANK"
from the bottom of my heart Coach
Malen Luke, Shannon Yokely, and
the rest of the Clarion University
football team.
As a CUP student and the mother
of a 5 year old who attends Clarion
Area Elementary, I would like to
give recognition to the program the
football team is currently involved
in. My son, who's in Kindergarten,
liked school before, but is showing a
rise in his educational learning
recently.
I was informed by bis teacher of
this rise on the phone. I feel this rise
is due to the program started by
Malen Luke.
Some of these children come from
low-income, single parent, or
unstable homes. These guys
spending time with these children
makes them feel loved and
important. My son comes from a
low-income and single parent home.
Shannon Yokely has made such an
impact on my son.
My son is more positive and
showing more signs of wanting to
learn. He says be wants to be like
Shannon, a big football player.
Getting football players or any
students involved with elementary
aged children is a terrific idea.
This gives these children someone
to look up to, and the college
students a child whom they can tell,
you can be or do anything.
Shannon Yokely has been a
"Godsend" for me. My son idolizes
him and thinks he's "the greatest and
biggest guy around." I now have a
son who comes home from school,
gets out a notebook and pencil, and
practices writing letters and
numbers.
He says, "that's what Shannon
would want me to do!" I am so
amazed that, after only a few
months, Shannon has had such an
impact on my son and my son's
education.
When Coach Luke started this
program he was definitely thinking
on the right track. I am eternally
grateful to all of those involved in
the program and those who helped
Coach Luke get the program started.
Seeing my son this enthusiastic
about school gives me hope for a
bright future for him.

Fourth fire strikes Pittsburgh
hotel
The fourth suspicious fire in a little over a month broke out early
Tuesday at the Doubletree Hotel, forcing at least 75 sleepy guests
to get out.
The hotel's sprinkler system and an employee with a fire
extinguisher put out the fire shortly after it started at about 4:15
ajn. in a third-floor laundry chute, said Assistant Fire Chief Peter
Micheli.
The evacuated guests - including retired Washington Post Editor
Benjamin Bradlee, who was in Pittsburgh to promote his book -
were back in their rooms by 5:30 a.m. No one was hurt.
House votes to relax day care
standards
The state House on Tuesday voted to relax a safety requirement
for in-home day-care providers to use battery-operated smoke
alarms. Current law requires them to use an electronic system that
costs several hundred dollars. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Charles
Dent. R-Lehigh, said the measure provides for "reasonable
regulations'* in an effort to keep in-home day-care centers from
going out of business.
Woman free after 7-year contempt
charge
A woman who refused to reveal her son's whereabouts to state
social workers was freed Tuesday after more than seven years in
jail on a contempt of court charge.
Jacqueline Bouknight briefly smiled at reporters but wouldn't
answer questions as she got into her lawyer's car and left the
Baltimore City Detention Center. Earlier, at a hearing, Ms.
Bouknight's attorneys portrayed the 29-year-old woman as a
champion of civil disobedience, comparing her to the Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr. Ms. Bouknight showed no emotion during the
nearly two-hour hearing.
Editorial Cont from pg. 2
I respect your opinion of the
recommendation of little or no meat
eating, but I just want to make it
crystal clear that there is a thing
called the food chain.
We are more intelligent and thus
we are at the top of the food chain. If
human beings were in the wild,
animals would not hesitate to
devour them, so I ask you, Why is it
so wrong to eat meat?
We are not "savages" as you
stated, just a bit smarter than the
average bear.
"Getting students involved" Cont. from pg. 3
me hope for a bright future for him.
My son now has a role model, as
well as a hero, two things that are
very important to little boys apd
girls. It's just great to know that
there are college students and
faculty members out there that
really do care and want to make a
difference. In my eyes, Coach
Luke, Shannon Yokely, and the rest
of the team involved need to be
recognized for this outstanding
program.
I'm truly grateful, eternally to
Shannon Yokely for his impact on
my son and to Coach Luke for
making this all possible.
Thank you,
Amy Slike

"Where did her information come from?"
Dear Editor,
In regards to the recent letters to this
paper by Ms. Letch, I was saddened by
the hate, appalled by the incompetence
and finally moved to write in response.
Let me first say that her attack on Dr.
Spina's heartfelt letter about his
brother was both cruel and
unconscionable. To further compound
this invective, Ms. Lerch comments
that Spina's letter was printed
"conveniently" in the last issue of the
semester (Spring '95) thereby
insinuating that there was some hidden
purpose or agenda that should have
been addressed immediately had it
been possible.
This insinuation is hardly vague and
it is lacking in substance and
credibility. Ms. Lerch then goes on to
list a variety of disturbing practices in
nauseating, lurid detail. I don't know
where she gets her information (or
misinformation) but it's a safe bet that
the source is not an unbiased report of
fact but rather a sensationalist
vituperation intended to shock, disgust
and sway opinion by the most base and
pitiful means. She claims that these
acts are common among homosexuals.
Since when? I will demonstrate the
good taste she lacked by not repeating
any of the details but let me say that
yes, they were repugnant and
dangerous.
They are certainly not exclusive to
any one group of people and they
couldn't possibly be as common as she
would have people believe in any case.
She then proceeds to make equally
spurious but potentially more
dangerous insinuations concerning the
incidence of almost every imaginable
sexually transmitted disease among
homosexuals. She offers no scientific
evidence, no medical fact and no
statistics. Where did her information
come from? Certainly not the Center
for Disease Control, or the American
Red Cross or any other reputable
source of sound, medical fact on these
matters. They would have told her a
completely different story.
They would have told her in fact that
AIDS, for example, is spreading most
rapidly in this country among
heterosexuals and world wide, AIDS is
most commonly found in
heterosexuals. In fact, she insists on
shifting the burden of proof by
demanding that gays and lesbians
supply facts and figures concerning
STDs which she herself would have
printed had they truly supported her
case. This was cowardly of her.
I could do much the same thing by
asking "how many malcontents with
too much time on their hands write
incompetent letters to the editor about
subjects they know nothing about?"
Ms. Lerch rails and banters without
offering a shred of science or a hint of
logic. What does she offer?
Predictably, she says that it's "no
wonder that God called it depraved
and shameful".
The Bible also says men are not
allowed to shave their beards, people
are not to eat pork or lobster and
women are to keep silent in church.
I will not argue theology. Religion
does not concern itself with truth, it
concerns itself with faith and there is
an enormous difference. I will say that
over thousands of years, many people
from scribes and monks to kings and
popes have had the opportunity and the
motive to add their own two cents to
scripture.
My Bible is neatly typeset and in
English. Surely, nobody is naive
enough to believe that Bible came
directly from the typewriter of the
Almighty.
Part of our cultural experience is that
people tend to create God in their own
image. This anthropomorphic mindset
is obvious. People who are petty and
bigoted believe in gods who are petty
and bigoted. For myself I'll not sit in
judgment of a person because of whom
they love. I suggest that any God
worth praying to is at least as
benevolent as I. One last thing; I
know that everyone is entitled to their
opinion but wouldn't it be amusing if
those opinions were well thought out
and intelligently expressed?

"There really are people like you out in the world"
To the Editor of the Clarion Call.
Initially I was going to be
somewhat reserved in responding to
the letter written by Mrs. Lerch in last
week's issue of the Clarion Call.
Then I decided to throw that idea to
the dogs. MS. LERCH, YOU ARE
AN EVIL, BIGOTED CRONE OF A
WOMAN. While I respect your right
to an opinion, you are a preacher of
hatred and intolerance. I am
interested, Mrs. Lerch, in exactly how
far your hatred extends? Are you a
racist as well? Are you an anti-
semite? How do you feel about
Italians? Are you a member of the Ku
Klux Klan? Whatever it is mat you do
not understand about homosexuality,
I cannot answer for you.
However, I am going to answer
you with something right here and
now, madam. In my mind. You have
no more right to work at an institution
of higher learning man Adolph Hitler
does.
You are far too consumed by
your obvious hatred of homosexuals,
OOPS... sorry your obvious hatred of
MALE homosexuals. How did you
come upon such hatred? National
coming out day is not that big of a
deal. So what if you feel that it is
national gay day what else are you
opposed to, women's history month?
As to your desire to form a
heterosexual club to be the equal to
Allies, why? Are you that insecure in
your own sexuality that you need to
reaffirm it every time you go out of
the house? If you really feel that you
need a club to express your
beterosexuality, just join the rest of us
at the Looms on Friday or Saturday
night!
You have unfortunately
reminded me of one thing however,
and it is particularly fitting that I be
reminded of this before I graduate
and move on to the real world. There
really are people like you out in the
world. I was brought up in an
atmosphere where the only thing mat
counted was how you treated
everybody else. I guess I was born
into a bit of luck by having a family,
and a community which thrived on
the diversity of its people. I grew up
to never discriminate against anyone
because of religion, sexuality, or
ethnic background, because we were
all the same thing, American Citizens
My father came to this country
in 1931 to give himself a better lite.
After losing everything in World War
II, his mother decided that she wanted
to be free from hatred.
Three hundred years ago my
mothers' ancestors first arrived here
so that they too could be free to live
their lives the way that they see fit.
Until the day I die, I want to be free.
Especially from people, like you, mat
are so full of racism, bigotry and
hatred.
As for your disgusting depiction
of typical homosexual activities, what
do you do for fun, spend your
weekends on Liberty street in
Pittsburgh going from one porno
bookstore to the next? Those things
belong on the fringe of any society,
and by die way, I believe those are all
pretty much pan-sexual fetishes, not
exclusive to either hetero or homo-
sexual relations, and the simple fact
that you would even ask for those
things to be printed shows your
absolute lack of taste and education.
Basically I think you are a
supreme bigot. I shudder to think,
what you are teaching to not only
your own but anyone else's children.
HATRED is NOT OK. PERIOD.
Madam, as an employee of an
institute of higher learning, I certainly
hope that the next time you decide
that you are going to single out any
one group of people and humiliate,
degrade and attempt to destroy them
because of any aspect of themselves,
I hope you think a little bit deeper
than you did.
Universities are little micro-
utopias, and while it is important to
realize that people like you who hate
so much do exist, there are hopefully
just as many people out there like me
that do not hate based on something
like skin color, ethnic background,
religion, or sexual preference.
Everyone here at this University can
represent some part of American
society, be it good or bad, so get over
it, or get out.
Sincerely,
James F. Junger

!al State J-student lands first Ito
interview
LOS ANGELES- After the OJ. Simpson verdict was announced, trial
junkies and casual observers alike awaited to hear Judge Lance Ito's
thoughts on the case.
But Ito shunned requests by the TV networks and seasoned reporters
who covered the trial, opting instead for an interview with a journal-
ism student on a campus cable station.
Ito spoke with Gayle Gomer, a senior majoring in broadcast journal-
ism at California State University-Northridge last week after the stu-
dent assured him that their interview would not be made available to
commercial news outlets.
I'm sure of the fact that my being a student helped me get the inter-
view," said Gomer. "Judge Ito has made a lot of effort to use this trial
as a learning experience for some people so I'm sure the educational
intent helped."
Gomer said Ito responded to her requests for an interview on the
CSU-N news broadcast, agreeing to answer three questions that relat-
ed to the presence of cameras in the courtroom. " He was up front with
his conditions," Gomer says. "He wanted to make sure there wouldn't
be any discussion of his personal feelings on the case."
Ito, who had come under criticism for allowing TV cameras into the
courtroom, told Gomer that he stood by his decision.
"There's a lot of value in the public being able to see how the judi-
cial system works or, in some people's opinion, doesn't work," Ito
said. The American public was able to make up their own minds
whether or not this verdict was just verdict or not"
UT students blast donor at his home
AUSTIN, Texas- After campus protests against a controversial donor
failed to produce any reaction from school officials, University of
Texas students decided to pay the donor a visit at home.
Students are upset over the school's decision to name a new biology
building after Texas millionaire James Rober Moffett, whose mining
company, Freeport-McMoRan, has been called one of the worst envi
ronmental polluters in the nation. Moffett has contributed $3 million
to the school for the construction of the new science building.
Although students protested the move on campus last year, UT offi-
cials stood firm on their decision. Now, students hope to pressure
Moffett himself by assembling with picket signs and bullhorns near his
home in an affluent area of Austin.
"This is a huge example of misplaced priorities," said Jen Lodinberg,
a UT junior. 'The school doesn't care about what James Moffett does
to the world we live in, they only care about his money."
In 1992, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cited Freeport-
McMoRan as the worst emitter of toxic chemicals in the nation.
UT officials say the company has cleaned up its act, so to speak. UT
President Robert Berdahl said the school doesn't judge the political
correctness of a contributor.

Rec center referendum on hold
SSHE demands more information
The possible site for the proposed recreation center is lot B, which It adjacent to Campbell
Residence Hall.
by Mary Beth Curry
News Editor
The referendum vote on a fee to
build the proposed recreation
center may be put on hold
because of a State System of
Higher Education request for
more information.
Referendum vote for the pro-
posed recreation center fee had
been voted to be brought to the
student body on November 15,
16, and 17, following informa-
tional programs that will be pre-
sented to the student body.
The Student Senate passed the
vote on the referendum at the
Monday October 30 meeting. A
motion was made by athletic
committee chair Karen Carlson
and passed by a vote of 17-0-2 .
As of now, even though the
senate has approved the dates for
the vote, the actual dates on
which it will be held is uncertain.
The proposed recreation center
fee has yet to be determined, but
in an earlier interview with Dr.
George Curtis, Vice President of
Student Affairs and Mr. Dave
Tomeo, Director of Gemmell, it
was approximated at $95.
The recreation center proposed
cost is $5 million dollars and will
be paid for by a floating bond
that the proposed fee would
eventually pay back.
At the meeting concerns were
brought up by Senator Delphine
D'Jossou that University money
could be better spent on new
equipment for the departments.
She went on to argue that the cen-
ter was just a way to draw people
to Clarion University, but once
the incoming students arrive they
President of Finance and
Administration would attend a
future meeting to review the
accounting plan that has been
adopted in order to track the use
of the funds generated by die ISF.
If the vote is passed by the stu-
dent body, students who will
graduate before the center is
completed will not have to pay
'My committee is working bard to adequately
convey information about the
recreation center..."
-Karen Carlson, Student Senator
will learn that university equip-
ment is outdated. D'Jossou was,
however adamant in her support
of the recreation center project.
Dr. Curtis addressed her con-
cerns by stating that if the recre-
ation center passes student vote
the money for it could not be
used to update equipment. He
went on to explain that the two
projects did not fall into the same
financial category, and by having
one it did not effect the other.
Curtis went on to explain that
the Instructional Support Fee was
to be used to implement
improvements to campus equip-
ment and educational supplies.
He went on to explain that Dr.
Heather Haberacker, Vice
the new fee, however all students
who currently attend the univer-
sity will be eligible to vote on the
proposed fee.
The completed feasibility study
will be the basis for the informa-
tion programs set up by the ath-
letics committee, chaired by
Karen Carlson.
Some features included in the
feasibility study are; a climbing
wall, basketball courts to be used
for intramural play, a
running/walking track and a
weight training room.
"My Committee is working
hard to adequately convey infor-
mation about the recreation cen-
ter before the referendum vote,"
said Carlson.

McLean spends time in Genoa

vocal music.

Dr. John McLean, Associate
Professor of Music, spent three
weeks of July in Genoa, Italy,
lecturing on American vocal
music to international students
and faculty.
His presentation, "American
Music: 150 Years of Excellence,"
covered: art song, Negro
Spiritual, opera, sacred, jazz,
Broadway musical, and 20th cen-
tury popular music.
McLean was invited by
Maestro Allesandro Dominuni,
director of the Jupiter Society, to
teach the class.
Tbe Jupiter society was found-
ed in Genoa in 1983 as a non-
profit organization with the pur-
pose of broadening musical expe-
riences for a wide variety of audi-
ences.
The society created the
International Music Courses,
which brings professors from
Italy and abroad to teach the two
week course.
The Jupiter society has also
organized over 200 student con-
certs in Genoa and Liguria.
During his visit to Italy, Dr.
McLean traveled to Turino to dis-
cuss a potential consortium pro-
gram between Clarion University
and the University of Turino.
Italy as being 'fast food' and
'American pop music'," says
McLean.
McLean also expressed his
enthusiasm about the consortium
by saying, "I am excited and
hopeful that I may be able to
bring about this consortium."

Concerns arise over policy
Interim policy raises criticisms
by Kristen Davis
News y/rtter
According to Federal Funding
Regulations, all institutions
receiving grants are required to
have a Scientific Misconduct
Policy.
This policy is to ensure the
elimination of fabrication, falsifi-
cation, plagiarism or other prac-
tices that seriously deviate from
those that are commonly accept-
ed within the scientific communi-
ty concerning research.
In effect immediately is Clarion
University's Interim Scientific
Misconduct Policy developed by
Dr. Rita Flaningam, Dr. Rod
Raehsler, Dr. James Krouse, and
Mr. Timothy Fogarty. Student
Senator Michael Cox said, "This
policy does not effect the stu-
dents directly. However, it is
important for students to under-
stand how the administration
works."
He went on to explain his con-
cerns over the proposed policy,
"The Interim Scientific
Misconduct Policy, although
temporary, was done under con-
siderable criticisms. The main
criticism dealt with who formu-
lated the policy. Many faculty
members seemed to be concerned
with the lack of representation
from the College of Arts and
Sciences, who would feel the
greatest effects of the policy."
If someone wishes to charge an
individual with an allegation of
misconduct, it should be submit-
ted to the Dean of Graduate
Studies, whose responsibilities
there may be signs of miscon-
duct, it will be addressed by the
President.
She will then make a final state-
ment that the misconduct has
taken place, and an investigation
will begin. A panel will then be
made up of two senior level

dents to understand how the
administration works."

tion process. However, this
charge must include proof of the
following; willful failure to com-
ply with federal requirements for
protection of researchers, human
subjects or the public, misuse of
funds, and/or failure to ensure tbe
welfare of laboratory animals.
If it is prevent that an individ-
ual filed false charges, the infor-
mation will be given to Dr. Diane
Reinhard and appropriate action
will be taken.
However, if enough evidence is
given in this inquiry to show that
administrators and three faculty
members (chosen by the accused
and the Provost).
They will make a decision as to
the innocence or guilt of the
accused by the information pro-
vided. If convicted the President
will take action on the matter.
The policy guarantees that it
will do everything in its power to
protect the identity of both the
accused and the individual bring-
ing the charges. However, all
submissions of charges will be
dismissed immediately if not
signed.

Entrance exams do not always reflect ability

Service
If you ask Van Williams, his
college entrance test scores do
not reflect his academic talent or
potential.
Williams, an African- American
and a senior at DuSable High
School on Chicago's South Side,
has a 3.6 grade point average and
is a member of the school's acad-
emic decathlon team.
Yet he scored a 17 on the
American College Testing (ACT)
and a lackluster 980 on the PS AT
(Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude
Test), the sole determining factor
for students applying for
National Merit Scholarships.
'My score, in essence, doesn't
reflect what I am as a student and
is in no way a reflection of what
I know," Williams said.
The math problems may be
universal, but the stories and
issues in the reading portion are
hard for minorities to relate to."
Williams is one of thousands of
students who feel they are being
shortchanged by a college admis-
sion system that places too much
emphasis on standardized test
scores not on the individual
accomplishments of the person.
Yet, many college officials say
standardized tests add an element
of consistency to an otherwise
subjective selection process.
"It's a measuring stick that
everyone uses," said Lisa Hibbs,
athletic academic coordinator at
the University of North Carolina-
Charlotte.
Although the differences in
Scholastic Assessment Test
(SAT) and ACT exam scores
between groups has narrowed
somewhat in the last two
decades, males have historically
scored higher than females, and
white students higher than
African- Americans.
Mean SAT scores for males in
the high school graduation class
of 1995 were 429 on the verbal
portion of the test, 503 on the
math; females scored 426 and
463, comparatively, on the
exam's 200- to 800-poim scale.
The gap between white and
African- American scores is more
marked: Whites scored 448 on
the verbal and 498 on the math,
while blacks averaged scores of
356 and 388, respectively.
On the ACT, 1995 male grads
outperformed females by just
three-tenths of a point, 21 to 20.7
on the test's 36-point scale. The
average composite scores for
whites and blacks, however, were
21.5 and 17.1.
"Girls score lower, despite the
fact that they get higher grades
than boys in both high school and
college," said Bob Schaeffer,
director of public education for
the National Center for Fair &
paced, multiple choice formats
tap into skills and knowledge that
boys have more of.
Girls are less inclined to give a
quick first answer, a strategy
that's rewarded on both tests.
In college or life, it's necessary
to contemplate shades of mean-
ing or puzzle out a problem from
context, but that will hurt you
here."
Minority students that aren't part
"My score* in essence, doesn't reflect
what I am as a student and is in no
way a reflection of what I know-."
-Van Williams
Open Testing (FairTest), a
Cambridge, Mass.-based organi-
zation that advocates making the
tests optional in college admis-
sions.
"Research suggests that fast-
of "mainstream society" are also
at a disadvantage, said Schaeffer,
because language differences
force them to take more time
answering questions.
However, Gretchen Rigol,
When Pizza Hut delivers, it's easy to. . .
Slop and Smell the Pizzaf
executive director of admissions
and guidance services for the
College Board, which adminis-
ters the SAT through the
Educational Testing Service, said
FairTest 's assertions aren't
grounded in reality.
'The myth that's developed
about multiple choice formats
working against females and
minorities is both a sexist and
racist assumption," she said.
"Girls don't fall apart under
pressure any more than boys-
these stereotypes are self- fulfill-
ing prophesies. There is no statis-
tical basis to support differences
in guessing patterns.
"The big problem is that some-
one has billed the SAT way out of
proportion.
It's simply intended to help aid
the transition to college, to pro-
vide a yardstick for where the
student fits in. In any case, test
scores are rarely used as the sin-
gle determining factor in admis-
sions."
lb underscore that point, the
College Board does not endorse
the establishment of cut-off
scores by colleges to narrow
fields of applicants, and recom-
mends considering Scores along-
side grades and other aspects of a
student's academic record.
In an effort to avoid the slight-
est hint of cultural bias on exams,
both the College Board and ACT
program employ panels of racial-
ly and ethnically diverse experts
to screen each question, said
Kelley Hayden, the ACTs direc-
tor of corporate communications.
Questions are then pretested; if
disparities in the response among
different groups of test-takers
crop up, the question is dropped.

Clarion Students attend Collegiate Choir Festival
Courtesy ofGina Ciccone
Concert Choir President
The Pennsylvania Collegiate
Choral Festival (PCCF) this year
was held at Mary wood College in
Scranton, PA. A group of ten
highly select singers, under the
direction of Dr. Susan Lyle, rep-
resented Clarion University of
Pennsylvania. At the festival,
the group was evaluated in quar-
tets on their knowledge of select-
ed pieces that were performed in
the concert. The singers received
the music in advance and were
expected to have it prepared for
the quartet auditions. The stu-
dents practiced many hours in
preparation for the festival.
The festival began Thursday
afternoon, October 26. The stu-
dents rehearsed Thursday
evening, all day Friday and part
of the day on Saturday. The
singers also had the opportunity
to work with conductors from
other state colleges. Stress was
put on techniques such as breath
control, posture and vowel for-
mation and pronunciation. One
goal of the festival was to give
already talented singers the expe-
rience of singing in a large, disci-
plined ensemble. The singers
spent over 13 hours in rehearsal
preparation with Dr. Anton
Armstrong, who was the guest
conductor for the festival.
Friday evening a banquet was
held to honor Dr. Armstrong, the
chorus members and the cond-
uctors. Students also had the
opportunity to participate in a
cabaret spotlight of the many tal-
ents of their peers.
The concert was performed on
Saturday, October 28 in the
Marywood College Auditorium.
Two Clarion students had hon-
orary performances in the con-
cert. Wes Craig sang a bass solo
and Michelle Kilbert played
trumpet in "Laudete Coeli
Dominum."

University of Pennsylvania who
attended the festival are: Stacey

Gaining Weight? It's Not Our Fault by Dave Barry I Ed and Dave Rock Your World
I am pleased to report that we
finally have a scientific explana-
tion for why everybody in the
world is gaining weight. At least
I am, and I know it's not my fault.
Granted, I do not have the best
dietary habits. Sometimes in a
restaurant I will order fried, fatty
foods ("Give me a plate of fried,
fatty foods, and hurry" are my
exact words). But I compensate
for this by engaging in a strict
exercise regimen of vigorously
pounding the bottom of the
ketchup bottle for as long as nec-
essary. "No pain, no gain," that
is my motto regarding ketchup.
Nevertheless, I have been gain-
ing weight, and you probably
have, too, which is why you're
going to be happy to learn that
neither of us is responsible. The
universe is responsible. We
know this thanks to a scientific
insight that we had by alert 14-
year-old Massachusetts reader
Tun Wing. Tun reports that he
was browsing through The
Usborne Book of Facts and
Lists" when he came across the
following fact* Every single day,
including federal holidays, 25
TONS of space dust lands on
earth. This means that every day,
earth weighs 25 tons more, which
means that it contains a larger
quantity of gravity, which as you
know is the force made up of
invisible rays that cause all phys-
ical objects in the universe to
become more attracted to bath-
room scales.
What this means, Tun Wing
points out, is that "without gain-
ing an ounce, people all over the
world are getting heavier."
And there is more bad news: At
the same time that gravity is
increasing, the entire universe is
expanding, except for pants.
Pants are staying the same size,
which means that — and this has
been confirmed by extensive sci-
entific tests conducted in my
closet — a so called "33-inch-
waist" pant will barely contain a
volume that formerly fit easily
into a 31-inch-waist pant Albert
Einstein accurately predicted this
phenomenon in 1923 when he
formulated his Theory of Pants
Relativity, which also states, as a
corollary, that as the universe
grows older, "It will get harder
and harder to find anything good
on the radio."
But our big problem is this
gravity buildup, which has
already started to pose a grave
threat to public safety. I refer
here to an incident that occurred
recently in Fort Lauderdale, Ha.,
where, according to a Sept 16
Miami Herald story that I am not
making up, "A loggerhead turtle
fell from the sky and hit a man in
his white Chevy Nova."
XXX
(Scene: The hospital emergency
room.)
DOCTOR: Where was the vic-
tim hit?
NURSE: In his Chevy Nova
DOCOTOR: OK, let's do a
CAT scan, and I want his oil
changed immediately.
XXX
Seriously, the man was unhurt
and so was the turtle, which,
according to the Herald story
apparently was dropped by a sea
gull. But that is exactly my
point: Since when do seagulls —
one of the most sure-handed
species of bird — drop turtles?
Tne obvious answer is : SINCE
TURTLES STARTED GET-
TING HEAVIER, along with
everything else.
And as space dust continues to
land on Earth, the situation will*
only worsen, with chilling
results. According to my calcula-
tions, at the current rate of gravi-
ty buildup, by the year 2038, an
ordinary golf ball will weigh the
equivalent in today's pounds, of
Rush Limbaugh. Even a profes-
sional golfer, using graphite
clubs, would need dozens of
strokes to make such a ball move
a single foot. An average round
of golf would take four months
— nearly TWICE as long as
today.
Is that the kind of world we
want our children to grow up and
develop gum disease in? I think
not. This why we must call upon
the scientific community to stop
puttering around with global
wanning and immediately devel-
op a solution to the gravity prob-
lem,
( 30 second pause)
Well, we see that the scientific
community has once again let the
human race down, leaving it up
to us civilians to deal with the sit-
uation. Fortunately, I have come
up with a practical answer in the
form of a:
GRAVITY REDUCTION
PLAN
Follow my reasoning: The
problem is that 25 tons of stuff is
landing on the Earth every day,
right? So the obvious solution is
to put 25 tons worth of stuff into
a rocket every day and blast it
into space. It couldn't be sim-
pler!
Perhaps you're saying: "But
Dave, how are we going to find
25 tons worth of stuff every sin-
gle day that is so totally useless
that we can just send it into space
with total confidence that it could
never possibly in any way benefit
humanity?"
I can answer that question in
three simple words: "Fourth
Class Mail" Every day at
LEAST 25 tons of this material is
painstakingly mailed all over the
United States and thrown away
immediately upon receipt. Solid-
waste experts estimate that 78
percent of out nation's landfill
capacity is currently occupied by
sincere unopened letters from Ed
McMahon informing people that
you have almost definitely won
$14 million. Why not just load
this material directly into a rock-
et? And consider this: If we sent
up MORE than 25 tons a day.
The Earth would actually LOSE
gravity. I calculate that every
human being on the planet would
instantly be six ounces lighter if
we also sent Ed up there, not that
I am necessarily proposing this.
So I say let's fire up the rockets
and get this program going
before gravity gets so strong that
all we can do is lie on the ground,
helpless, while turtles rain down
upon us. If you agree, write to
your senators and congressper-
sons today and let mem know
where you stand. Stress the
urgency of the situation. Stress
their responsibility as public offi-
cials. Above all, stress that
there's room in the rocker with
Ed.

their final performance before
student-teaching in the spring
semester and graduation May.
Each will play a feature trumpet
solo with the large ensemble.
Dr. Johnson, Associate
Professor of Musk at CUP, has
been director of the Jazz Band
since 1991. Prior to coining to
Clarion, she had considerable
professional experience as a free-
lance woodwind musician in
New York City. Among her pro-
fessional credits are 10 years as a
Broadway theater "pit" musician,
including such popular shows as
"Cats" and "Phantom of the
Opera." She was a member of
the orchestra for the New York
City Broadway production of "A
Chorus Line" for with years, until
it closed in 1990. Johnson earned
doctorate from the City
University of New York in wood-
wind performance in 1992.
Hello and welcome back once
again as I "Rock Your World."
This week brings us a demo
release by a local band from
Franklin, PA., called Core
Groove Consortium, hereafter
referred to as CGC. The band
consists of Dewey Mays, bass
guitar and vocals, Jamie Graham,
guitar and vocals and Brian
Graham, drums.
The tape starts off with "Down
Hill" which has a slower, yet
hardcore-style groove to it, much
like Helmet, and grinds along at a
pace that builds tension in this
emotional song about depression.
"Hiatus" has an incredible
groove to it and features some
excellent bass work from Dewey.
If this tape were a major label
release this song would be my
first choice for a hit single. This
song was so good I had to rewind
the tape and hear it again.
"Raging" has a slower, darker
feeling to it and it reminded me
of another one of my favorite
bands, The Melvins, yet not com-
ing across as a pale imitation of
those Seattle sludgemeisters.
This song was also extremely
powerful when I had the chance
to see CGC live. Also the guitar
work is tighter and less sloppy
than some bands in this genre,
which in my opinion is a good
thing.
"Useless" is another slower
grinding number which brings to
my mind a comparison with
another local band, Cabal, espe-
cially in the vocals. However,

again this is not mere imitation,
but shows how two different
bands can share influences and
not sound redundant. This is in
no way implying that anyone is
copying from each other.
"Sober Cliff' again has some
fine, funky bass work from
Dewey and also excellent guitar
work from Jamie. I suppose it is
an anti-alcohol song or one of
someone coming to grips with
alcoholism. "Sober Cliff' is a
very emotional song and perhaps
its meaning can be construed
from it by the individual listener.
"Coming Free" features an
almost disco-like drumbeat with
some very crisp high-hat work
from Brian. This song also
reminds me of another one of my
favorite Seattle bands lad. This
song really shows that CGC is a
tight unit and the chemistry
between the members really
shows on this cut.
"21" slows down to a dark
sludgy mood, very reminiscent of
early 80's Black Sabbath. This is
another one of my favorite cuts
on this tape. Jamie's guitar play-
ing again shines throughout this
track. Once again CGC takes the
sounds of their influences and
makes them their own.
"Live To Die" picks up the pace
with a hardcore-style sound and
really jars the listener back to
reality after the dark groove of
"21" again this song demon-
strates CGC's ability to be
diverse in their songwriting and
shows off their wide range of
influences.
Tne tape concludes with "10
AM" which starts out slow and
sludgy then picks up to a faster
tempo. Once again their diverse
range of influences shine through
making this a great song to end
the tape with and possibly may
be an indicator of the future
direction of CGC.
In conclusion, this is a very fine
effort from a band on the local
level and in some instances the
songwriting is equal to, if not bet-
ter than some major label acts. To
get a copy of this superb demo
write to (CGC) Jamie Graham,
Star Route Box 61, Franklin PA
16323. Also, if you have the
opportunity to see CGC live, by
all means do it They are just as
tight and powerful live as they
are on tape. It is bands like this
that restore my faith in indepen-
dent music.

LEAD STORY
According to an October Wall
Street Journal article, the number
of bellybutton reconstructions in
Japan went up 375 percent in the
last year, in part because many
Japanese have come to believe,
as author Hogen Fukunaga
writes, The navel is the core of
everything about the person."
Said a Tokyo hospital president,
"People want navels that aren't
assertive." The perfect navel,
surmised the Journal reporter, is
"vertical, very narrow, and
absolutely symmetrical." The

navel is a popular theme in the
Japanese language; for instance,
a favorite kids' insult is, "Your
mother has an outie."
—Earlier this year, Michael
Eugene Price was granted retrials
in two armed robbery cases after
an Oklahoma appeals court ruled
that trial judges had been erring
in telling juries that defendants
are "presumed not guilty" instead
of "presumed innocent" He had
been serving 32 and 35 years,
respectively, but in his first retri-
al in March, he was again found
guilty and sentenced to 60 years,
and in his second retrial, in
October, he was again found
guilty and sentenced to 65 years.
— In September, police in
Meadville, Pa., announced that
the summer drought in the area
was responsible for their success
in finding marijuana farmers.
Said a police spokesman, almost
all of the vegetation is brown
because of the drought, but the
marijuana stays green because
the owners take such good care
of the plants.
—A San Diego couple, both 35,
suffered only minor injuries in
September when their car went
off of MO at 75 mph. The cou-
ple, who police said were nude
when they arrived on the scene,
were having sex in the front seat,
and the driver lost control. And
in San Antonio five days earlier,
motorcyclist, Liem Ngo, 38, was
killed when he collided with
another cyclist, probably, accord-
ing to police, because the other
cyclist's passenger, a 38-year-old
woman, had just bared her
breasts at Ngo, distracting him.
— In July, a 25-year-old female
sixth-grade science teacher in
Muroran, Japan, exasperated at
the rowdiness of her students,
slashed one of her wrists in front
of them in an attempt to scare

which William stands), which be
promised would enable him to

Derby Days Benefits the Children's Miracle Network
by Jennifer Founds
Copy and Design Editor
During this week of Monday,
October 30 through Saturday,
November fourth, the Sigma Chi
fraternity is holding it's annual
Derby Days. Every Sigma Chi
fraternity nationally participates
in this fundraiser for their philan-
thropy. This year, Sigma Chi
holds its 17th annual Derby
Days, with the exception of the
1994-95 school year. Starting in
1992, the brothers raised money
for the Children's Miracle
Network helping underprivileged
place-ZTA, 3rd place-Ill.
Tuesday night at Hart Chapel was
the lip sync contest, with the fol-
lowing winners; 1st place-ZTA,
2nd place- AIT, 3rd place-Ill.
On campus throughout the day
on Wednesday was "Sign-a-Sig"
day. (All sorority participants
bring a marker with them and
sign the brothers white shirts
with their name and letters. The
most signatures from a sorority
wins that contest.) Wednesday
evening was the brother auction,
when brothers raise the most
money, by auctioning their ser-
vices from 9:00pm Thursday

selected sister to represent their
sorority called Derby Darling"

Derby Days is a week of fun-
filled events in which the sorori-
ties on campus participate. The
events of Derby Days vary
between the chapters of Sigma
Chi, but the Theta Alpha chapter
of Sigma Chi at Clarion
University has a week full of fun
and exciting contests. On
Monday night in the Tlppen
Gymnasium was the volleyball
tournament, with the standings as
follows; 1st place- A4>E, 2nd
evening through 8:00am on
Friday. Friday marks the end of
the weeks happenings with a
derby hunt at 3:00pm. Derbies
are hidden around campus in the
area between Hart Chapel and
Campbell Hall, and when found,
points are awarded for the sorori-
ty with the most derbies. Some
derbies have certain point values,
and there is a "Golden Derby"
worth 10 points.
There is also a contest where
each sorority sponsors a selected
sister to represent their sorority
called Derby Darling. A water
bottle with letters and a picture of
that sister is placed in different
areas to collect money to add to
the money raised, and the winner
of the Derby Darling contest gets
a Derby Days Darling sweatshirt
Half of the money the fraterni-
ty raises goes toward their phil-
anthropy, and the other half is
awarded to the winning sororities
philanthropy. Former Derby
Days chairperson, Ron Berry
states, "Traditionally, we raise
anywhere between $500 and
$1,000."
This year Chris Reinbold is the
chairperson for Derby Days, and
is working hard for a successful
week. The brothers of Sigma Chi
Jason Stacy/Clarion Call
would like to thank all of the
sororities for participating in the
Derby Days week, and hope
everyone had fun for a good
cause. Overall winners of Derby
Days will be announced Friday
evening.

ween night is a night of laughter, scary costumes and most
ly lots and lots of candy. People go from door to door sharing
laughter, their ideas of "scary" costumes and enjoy the' candy that
they receive. There are people who do not get to join in on all this
fun and laughter. These people are the people sick and dying in
the hospital. The people, especially the children, are forgotten
and miss out on all the fun. Yet, there are a few people in this
world who do care. The brothers of Alpha Chi Rho fraternity
cared enough to pay a visit and bring some smiles to the sick and
dying in the Clarion Hospital.
On October 31, Halloween night, the brothers took time out ofj|
their busy schedules to hand out candy to lonely patients who §
spent the holiday in the hosital away from their loved ones. These
| people, when looking at such dreary circumstances, just need a
smile, and the brothers of Alpha Chi Rho made this possible
They brought candy, all of their lovely smiles and lots of laughter
to the hearts of these people in need of something to smile about
We should all have this kind of attitude towards helping the
community and ones in need, just like the brothers demonstrated
this busy, light hearted day. There are very few people in this
world who show this kind of kindness and generosity towards the
sick and helpless. We should take an example of this and follow
the footsteps of these and other organization members who
the time to serve the community. Everyone should have this]
of ingenuity and undertaking towards the community.

Witte continues dominance
Golden Eagles prepare for IUP
by Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
Jason Stacy/Clarion Call
Two weeks ago against Cal, it
was the defense who stepped up
for the struggling offense to
secure a 20-10 win for the
Golden Eagles.
However, against Slippery
Rock, the offense and defense
collectively struggled together
and the result was a 41-17 Rock
victory.
The game was much closer than
the score would show as Slippery
Rock led only 21-17 going into
the fourth quarter, but the Rock
erupted for twenty unanswered
points and mat was enough to
seal the Golden Eagles first
PS AC-West loss of the year.
It doesn't get any easier for the
Golden Eagles over the next two
weeks as they have IUP and
Edinboro on the schedule.
This week the Golden Eagles
travel to Indiana to take on head
coach Frank Cignetti and the tal-
ented IUP Indians.
IUP also suffered their first
PSAC-West loss this past week
as they were defeated by
Edinboro 35-18.
Many people may be surprised
by the Edinboro win over IUP,
but the Scots are for real, but IUP
will be ready to do battle this
weekend as they hope to impress
the voters and hopefully get
themselves back into the playoff
picture.
Clarion enters the game with a
6-2 overall record, as opposed to
a 6-3 overall record by IUP.

132 of 207 passes (63.8%) for
1,645 yards and 12 TD's, plus
has run for 153 yards and 1 TD
on 64 tries.
Weibel is second in the PSAC
with a QB rating of 142.9 and
second in total offense at 256.9
per game.
The running game is led by
junior, All-America all-purpose
back Steve Witte.
Witte has 657 yards and 12 TD's

Golden Eagle netters take fifth at PSAC's
by J ohm Saner
Sports Writer
The Clarion tennis team closed
out the 1995 campaign with a
solid 5th place finish at the PS AC
championships this past week-
end. 12 teams participated in the
event with Bloomsburg taking
the overall title.
"I am really proud of the team/'
stated coach Terry Acker. "We
said at the start of the season we
wanted to use our tough schedule
to mature and peak at PSAC's.
That's exactly what happened
this weekend. We came into the
PSAC'S with momentum and a
really good attitude and everyone
won their first round match.
With a young team, this will be a
confidence builder for 1996."
The lone senior on the team,
Melodi Dess, finished her career
at Clarion with a 1-1 mark at the
championships. Mel was perfect
in beating Debbie de la Cruz of
Cheyney in the first round, 6-0,
6-0. She then succumbed to the
#3 seed from Millersville in the
second round, 4-6, 2-6.
Mel ended her singles play at
Clarion with a 23-28 record,
including a 7-8 mark this season.
Dess will leave Clarion as a
perfect example of what putting
in time and effort can do for an
athlete. Having started at Clarion
the same time as Mel, I've seen
her rise through the ranks on the
team Each year a little better
than the last, until finally this sea-
son, she was the #1 singles play-
er for the Golden Eagles.
At #2 singles, sophomore Amy
O'neal came out blazing in her
match against Kim Huebner of
East Stroudsburg in the first
round. She won 6-2, 6-1. She
then fell to #3 seeded Meg
Edwards of Kutztown, 1-6, 1-6.
O'neal's record for 1995 was 3-
12. With two years of PSAC
experience under her belt, look
for big things from Amy in next
years campaign.
Brooke Dray er also battled hard
for the Golden Eagles at the
championships. Her first round
match was a three set thriller,
with Drayer winning 6-4, 2-6, 6-
4. Unfortunately, in the second
round the tables turned as Brooke
lost to #4 seeded Tiffany Gross of
Slippery Rock, 4-6, 6-2, 4-6. Her
overall mark of 7-8 for the season
shows definite promise for the
sophomore in the future.
The hottest player gong into the
PSAC's for the Eagles was
Kristen Golia. After four early
season losses, Golia rolled off 10
consecutive victories before los-
ing in the quarterfinals.
There didn't seem to be any
way to stop her after a thrashing
of Roxanne Roman of East
Stroudsburg, 6-1, 6-0. However,
in the next round, the streak final-
ly ended with a hard fought loss
to #3 seed Margo Ayers of
Kutztown.
For the season, Kristen com-
piled the second best record on
the team. (10-5)
At #5 singles, Sarah Unkefer
kept the Clarion first round win
streak alive with a three set victo-
ry over Megan Osterling of
California. The scores were 6-4,
4-6, 6-3. The #3 seed Lauren
Kelly of Kutztown ended Sarah's
tournament with a 6-4, 6-2 win.
A strong sophomore year ended
for Sarah with a 1995 record of
6-9.
Last up, but certainly not feast,
is Maureen Williams. Mimi
headed into the PSAC's with a
team best 9-3 record.
Her outstanding conference play
(6 wins, only 1 loss), earned her a
#2 seeding.
After a first round bye,
Williams warmed up with a three
set victory over Grace Koruth of
Kutztown. (6-1,3-6,6-1) In the
semis, Catherine Baird of runner-
up Shippensburg proved to be no
match, as Mimi won in straight
sets, 6-3, 6-3. That win set up a
classic final with #1 seeded
Amber Lee of Bloomsburg.
Mimi lost the first set in a tie-
breaker, 6-7(0-7), and fell in the
second set 4-6.
For the year, Williams' mark of
11-4 gave her the best record on
the team.
"Mimi played her absolute best
tennis at Hershey," praised coach
Acker. "She had some tough
matches, but kept her composure
and beat two very good players."
Doubles action proved to be
every bit as exciting as the sin-
gles. Dess and O'neal won in the
first round, before losing to the
eventual #1 doubles champions
Amy Lynch and Jennifer
Mckonly of Shippensburg, 3-8.
One of the most exciting match-
es of the tournament involved #2
doubles tandem Brooke Drayer
and Kristen Golia. After shutting
out their first round opponents,
the pair fought a grueling battle
with #3 seeded Fran Stankiewicz
and Leslie Boltz of
Shippensburg.
Drayer and Golia lost the match
by the narrowest of margins,
falling 8-9(8-10) in a tie-breaker.
Unkefer and Williams also won
in the first round, and also lost to
an eventual champion pair.
Darla Opferman and Melissa

The Clarion Call
November 2, 1995
A variety of thoughts
The 1995 Mid-Season NFL Awards
by Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
Well, call me a conformist, but
since every tv network and orga-
nization in this god-fearing
nation has an awards ceremony, I
figured why not my own column
here at the Call. So, without any
further adieu, I present my 1995
MID SEASON AWARDS NFL
AWARDS...
Surprise team(s) of 1995
award- What a first half its been
for the expansion cities in the
NFL. Jacksonville and Carolina
have bread meaning into the
word "parity." Each squad
appears ready to break the NFL
record for the first-year wins by
an expansion squad The winner
by a land slide though has to be
the Indianapolis Colts. Captain
Comeback Jim Harbaugh has led
a terrific first half run that includ-
ed wins over the 49ers and
Dolphins. Give honorable men-
tion to the St Louis Rams and
Tampa Bay Bucs.
Best team to be led by a QB
named Bubby- The New York
Jets may be the closest thing to
an expansion franchise mis year,
but you have to give them some
credit Bubby Brister has never
given up hope and this squad will
probably take a couple teams
down with them by the end of the
year. Honorable mention- no
one.
Best team to be led by a QB
named Elvis- What is going on in
San Fran land? It appeared that
the 49ers were on a roll after
greeting St Louis last week with
a wake up call, but after losing to
the Saint's, that November 12th
super matchup with Dallas seems
less super. Don't worry 49er
fans, Steve Young is expected to
play this week a little.
Humanitarian Award of 1995-
You know I've given Barry
Foster some crap in the past but
after returning all the money the
Cincinnati Bengals signed him
for, including a $300,000 signing
bonus, I want to take a moment
and say that was a courageous
thing that Mr. Foster did. Does
this mean that the Steelers might
ask Barry for some of their
money back so they can sign a
defensive back?
The "Poltergeist Award
(They're back...)"- The Buffalo
Bills have climbed back into the
AFC race after a year hiatus, and
ain't we AFC fans happy? Some
recent injuries to Thurman
Thomas and Andre Reed have
slowed them some, but you have
to think these guys are going to
make one last run at the Super
Bowl before its all said and done.
Hey didn't Atlanta finally win the
World Series?
The "Ishtar" Award (most dis-
appointing)- I'm going to split
this one up by conference. In the
NFC, "Buddy Ball" has been
more like, "Elmore Fuddy Ball"
in Arizona. Buddy needs to go to
the hardware store and buy an
offense. Throw that in with a un-
Buddy like defense, and you got
yourself one fired head coach at
the end of the season. In the
AFC, the no-brainer here is the
New England* Patriots.

ference is smelling like horse
dung week in and week out The
icing on the horse dung was last
week's overtime loss to Carolina
Drew Bledsoe's woeful offense
has Head Coach Bill Parcells
seeking a good heart specialist.
The Best Game of 1995- There
has been numerous close games
this first half of *95, so hats off to
the schedulers. This was a close
call, but I'm going with the 49er-
Colts contest of a couple weeks
ago.
It was the most physical game
I've watched in a long time as the
Colts D repeatedly knocked
Steve Young on his duff and
made a magnificent goal line
stand at the end of the first half.
Then Harbaugh ted the Colts into
field goal range and to the ulti-
mate irony as 49er waivee Cary
Blanchard drove home the win-
ning boot on his old mates.
Best Conference Division- (tie)
The AFC West and NFC Central.
Worst Conference Division- (no
ties necessary) The AFC Central.
Teams with scheduling night-
mare in the second half- The
Miami Dolphins. Their second
season starts with a travel to San
Diego this Sunday night. After
that game, they have dates with
the 49ers, Indianapolis, Atlanta,
Buffalo, Kansas City, and St.
Louis, all in a row.
They cannot afford another big
injury or they will be watching
the Macy's parade on Christmas
instead of practicing for a playoff
game.
The one thing to watch in the
second half award- The Dallas
offense is ranked 1st in the NFL
averaging 395 yds per game. The
49er defense is ranked 1st in the
NFL in stopping the run only
yielding 50 yds rushing a game.
Something has got to give on
November 12th.
MVP award- In the NFC, give
it to Emmit Smith. I tried and
tried to look for another player
who has had more impact, but
there isn't any.
A close second would be St.
Louis wide receiver Issac Bruce.
In the AFC, 3 quarterbacks are
stepping up into the forefront.
Steve Bono has done a fabulous
job in KC, leading them to a 7-1
mark.
Another AFC West QB, John
Elway, is once again lighting sec-
ondaries up with Denver's new
offensive attack. My MVP for
the first half though is
Indianapolis' Jim Harbaugh. He
went from opening day back up
to current QB ratings leader in
eight weeks.
He's meant more to his team
than any other player in the
league so far. It's going to be
great to see how Jim works his
comeback magic for the remain-
ing games as the Colts are shock-
ing everyone and contending for
the division title.
Well, I hope you have enjoyed
my first annual mid season
awards show. I would like to
thank all the little people out
there for their undying support.
Maybe next year I can get that
Letterman guy to host my award
show.
CC teams close season
by Terry John
Sports Writer
Clarion's cross country teams
ended their season at the PSAC
Champioships on Saturday.
The women finished 9th out of
14 teams, and the men were 12th
out of 14.
"We improved our rankings in
the PSAC this year," said Coach
Mooney. "Our women finished
12th last year, while the men fin-
ished 13th. I am pleased with the
overall improvement of both
teams."
As was the case throughout
most of the season, the women
were led by their three freshmen.
Brigette Laflin finished 25th
overall with a time of 20:26.
Christime Stamm, who was ill
most of the week, had a time of
20:36, good for 32nd.
The third fabulous freshmen,
Roxanne Wilson, finished 38th
with a time of 20:46.
The freshmen were really our
leaders out there," said Mooney.
"They all finished within 20 sec-
onds of each other, which really
helped us vault over some of the
teams that were predicted to fin-
ish higher than us."

Brad Alderton ted the men, fin-
ishing 28th with a time of 27:33.
"Brad has been running very
well all season," praised Mooney.
"I feel that he did a great job at
the championships."
Other top runners for the men
were Tom Brady (52nd), Scott
Reffner (59th), Carl Leonard
(77th), and Mike Cox (78th).
"Our men did a quality job run-
ning," said Coach Mooney.
"They are gaining experience,
and their finish at the PSAC
Championship shows them what
it takes to place higher in 1996."
Slippery Rock won the
women's championship and
Edinboro won the men's.
All cross country fans will have
a lot to cheer about next season.
All of Clarion's runners are
underclassmen, with seven fresh-
men and seven sophomores.
Thanks to all of the runners for
a great season and good luck next
year.

Clarion hooks up to the web
World Wide Web allows students to browse "info highway"
by Matt Geesey
News Writer
Clarion University has
established its own world wide
web site on the Internet. A
prototype system has been
installed over the summer and is
now in operation.
The web site will be
continuously updated as new
information arrives.
An Internet user can use this
service at any computer lab on
campus that has VAX terminals.
All the user has to do is type
"CULYNX" at the dollar sign
prompt to browse through the
information stored within. There
are several different topics that
you can check out.
Under the "General
Information" heading,
information is given about both
Clarion and Venango campuses.
The university mission statement
is also given.
Users can also tie into the State
System of Higher Education's
web through SSHE net This will
allow the user to look at other
schools within the state system.
The admissions section
includes items about cost,
admissions processes, and
financial aid. Existence of
certain housing will also be
included by next semester. An
on-line request form is provided
for students who are looking to
attend Clarion University,
The web site provides a
university calendar. It shows the
daily events and events for the
upcoming week. Users may
search the calendar using their
own criteria.
These events are updated daily
or as new information comes in.
The section on academic
information contains information
on all colleges within Clarion
University. It has information on

A student using ths Internet can now access Information about other State System of
Higher Education Schools due to Clarion's recent hook up on the world wide web.
Venango Campus and its school
of nursing. The web provides
facts about various major and
minor programs of study in each
individual department.
The section on student
information will be expanded. It
contains information on student
activities such as student groups,
Greek life, ALF/Homecoming
festivities, and other campus
organizations.
The section on administration
is currently under construction.
This section will include
information from the president's
office, Minority Affairs, and
other administrative offices.
According to Michael Phillips,
chairman of the web committee,
a lot of new ideas will be added
to make the web site more
complete.
More information will be
added to the academic section to
include career services. There
are also sections for the alumni
system, staff and faculty
information, and student home
pages are a possibility for the
future.
Campus organizations might
be able to get their own home
pages added to the web site. Mr.
Phillips added, "We want to
work with the student body on
this. We plan to give more to
offer on our web site than other
universities do."
The goal of the web site is to
formulate a date when it will be
complete. After it is complete,
the committee will maintain the
web site by adding new
information to something that is
out-dated. The other members of
the committee include Steve
Selker, assistant director of
Computing Services; Scott
Kuehn, Communications
professor, Joe Wyatt, Computer
Information Systems professor;
Ron Wilshire, director of
University Relations; Mary
Bragg, director of Publication
and Printing, and Mary Weyer
who is also with Publications.
The web committee will also
include one or two student
members.
Mr. Phillips concluded, "I'm
looking forward to creating a
unique individual presence for
Clarion University on the World
Wide Web."

OPINION
Editorial
Getting on the
right track
Bobbi
Russell
I have a confession to make. I am
a heterosexual. Did that change your
opinion or perception of me? I did-
n't think so. Why? Because sexual
orientation should not he the target of
prejudice. I do not want to re-hash
the same ideas in different words, but
die present situation has gotten out of
hand.
Over the past few weeks, I have
learned a lot about people, but more
specifically about Clarion University
students and faculty. I have seen,
beard, and read enough to make me
nauseous.
More so, I am deeply saddened and
somewhat frightened by the bigotry,
hatred, and the narrow minded men-
tality that overrules our campus. I
am shocked by the overwhelming
concern for everyone else's lifestyle.
When did we learn to be so com-
pletely judgmental? When did it
become o.k. to self -righteously belit-
tle others out of hatred and preset
opinions? Honestly, who really
cares what everyone else is doing or
who anyone else is dating?
To reiterate what many intelligent
people have said before me, you love
who you love. A person's sexual ori-
entation does not preclude all person-
ality traits and personal characteris-
tics. I wish we could end this argu-
ment and put our energy towards
something positive.
I firmly support homosexuals, not
that anyone asked me to do so. I am
offended by the recent influx of igno-
rant and uneducated attacking letters
that condemn a homosexual lifestyle.
Granted, every person is entitled to
their own opinion, but when preju-
dice takes away the freedom of
expression and the right to live life, it
has gone too far. When it begins to
hide what we are, it is time to take a
look at what we are doing to our-
selves and to each other.
We are all humans. People are not
fagots, dikes or any other derogatory
term that is used to describe homo-
sexuals. Negative language is only
an insecure outlet for close minded
individuals.
Certain individuals have, appar-
ently, sunk far below the realm of
reality where we should be accepting
and supportive. It is truly sad that a
small portion of people live in hatred
and misconception.
I cannot force you to exhaust these
ignorantly blind categories of
derogatory branding. I can only offer
my opinion. I am not asking you to
believe what I believe or to see issues
the way I see them.
I can only suggest that we not let
bigotry and phobias stunt our ability
to take advantage of what each and
every person has to offer.

My name is Terry McCalla, and I
am a 1991 graduate of Clarion
University. As a former News
Director of one of the two campus
radio stations, I understandably am
intrigued by debate that plays itself
out in the university press, and it is
with considerable interest that I
have followed the current debate
that the Clarion Call readers have
generated over the tightness or
wrongness of the homosexual
lifestyle. While I am personally not
a homosexual, I respect the rights
of others to practice the lifestyle of
their own choosing.
That is the reason I write today:
because it is my feeling that both
sides of this issue, in the rush to
express the most fundamental
viewpoint, the viewpoint of toler-
ance. Tolerance is one of the guid-
ing precepts upon which this coun-
try's belief system was founded. It

is with a tolerant pen and frame of
mind that I ask the following of
both sides.
Believe as you choose and
express your own viewpoint as you
choose. But be aware that view-
points differ, and be tolerant of oth-
ers viewpoints for it is lack of tol-
erance that breeds hatred.
Hatred as has been expressed in
recent Letters to the Editor. As an
example of recent historical intol-
erance, I cite th death of Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin. Mr.
Rabin, if you are media literate,
was one of the recipients of the
nobel peace prize for the work he
performed in bringing harmony to
a part of the world where differing
viewpoints led to terroristic acts,
wars and ultimately death. But, in
spite of all of these obstacles, Mr.
Rabin, a former highly decorated
officer in the army of Israel, a man
who fought wars because of differ-
ing viewpoints, finally preached
peace.
It is also because of intolerance
that Rabin lost his life at the hands
of an assassin. I can't help but
believe that a warrior for peace has
died at the hands of intolerant
minds similar to some of those who
have expressed opinions over the
lifestyle choices expressed by oth-
ers in the Clarion Call.
I am heartened by the belief that
while the body may have died, the
idea of peace and tolerance is still
alive and well, and this university
can learn the lessons that Rabin
helped to teach the world: peace,
common sense, a willingness to
accept others' opinions and toler-
ance.
In the upcoming holiday season
of Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and
Christmas, which preaches peace
and goodwill toward all, let us
remember the words spoken by
president Bill Clinton in the eulogy
of Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin.
(My Hebrew spelling may not be
correct but its meaning is without
doubt.) "Shalom Ha'aver," which
means "Hello my friend, goodbye
my friend," and most importantly,
"peace my friend."
Wars have been fought over intol-
erance and human kind's inability
to accept the differing viewpoints

Who? That's what I wish to know.
Who is Public Safety? Who are they
to tell me that I didn't stop properly
at a stop sign?
Are they even real cops? Did they
take all classes required to be judged
as an almighty State Police Officer?
The reason I ask is this: a week or so
ago I got pulled over for allegedly
not stopping properly at a stop sign. I
am so jonesed, because I did stop and
got pulled over.
He came up to my car and pro-
ixeded to ask me "Do you know why
I'm pulling you over?" I, having no
possible clue, responded as such. I
then proceeded to plead my case with
no possible way of winning the argu-
ment. So he wrote me out a citation
for the major crime I supposedly
committed and left. Oh, but I'm not
done yet because I've pleaded not
guilty and may have found a loop-
hole for my case.
See, the laws say in Article V, sec-
tion 500, a penalty for this action is a
maximum of $15 and court cost
because it's on State owned property.
Where as he charged me $92.50 for
the same violation. I'm now waiting
for the hearing date to show off my
investigation work. I will be sure to
tell everyone of my adventure and
hopeful victory. If you feel you've
been wrongly by public safety, write
about it in the Call and let's show
that yes, we may be young, but we're
not taking the false accusations stat-
ed by Public Safety.

READER RESPONSES
I An open invitation to join University Activities Board
Dear Editor,
This is a cordial letter written to
inform the students of Clarion
University about the University
Activities Board and what it offers
to you the students. The UAB is a
university funded organization
operated by Clarion University
students and faculty. The
organization is here to entertain,
inform, and educate the students on
campus and the surrounding
community.
The board is made up of an
executive board, seven committee
chairs, and six faculty/staff
members. The committee chairs
form a committee consisting of CU
students. Anyone is welcome to join
these committees at any time during
the semester. Letters are sent out to
all interested incoming freshman at
the beginning of the fall semester to
let them know how and when to
come and join the activities board.
However, the invitation to join is
always open to all students.
The committees that make up the
University Activities Board are as
follows: the Lecture Committee
which brings in events such as Bob
and Rod Jackson-Paris, Barry
Williams, and the upcoming Barry
Drake 60's music review. The
Recreation Committee provides
activities such as white water
rafting, horseback riding, and
tournaments in volleyball and pool.
The Arts Committee brings in
performances such as "The
Nutcracker", musician David Kim,
as well as Conducting poetry
readings. The Union Activities
Committee brings to university
students the free movie nights at the
local movie theaters, dances for all
occasions, as well as comedians like
Renee Hicks. The Concert
Committee entertains students with a
large concert during the academic
year as well as "Battle of the Bands"
and bands for Activities Day. The
Special planning Events Committee
can be thanked for events such as
Homecoming and Little Sibs
Weekend. Lastly, the UAB has a
Public Relations Committee which
is responsible for putting up
publicity throughout the entire
campus for all of our upcoming
events. As you can see, the UAB is a
very large organization with the
tremendous responsibility of
satisfying all of the students of
Clarion University. As a board, we
do our best to bring events and
activities that will entertain as well
as inform all of the students at
Clarion University. Every student
attending the university has a vote,
as well as a voice concerning any
and all events coming to Clarion
from the major concert to which
movie should be shown for movie
night. This is done in several ways
throughout the year. During
Activities Day the UAB hands out
surveys to any student showing an
interest in the type of entertainment
and activities that are brought to
Clarion. Also, the UAB office is
located in room 273 Gemmell. Our
door is always open for students to
stop in and fill out a committee
application in order to join the board
or to just give the acting board
members some ideas for
upcoming events. Joining the
Activities Board is extremely
simple.
The only requirement that the
board asks of the students is to fill
out an application simply stating
which committee you would like to
join and what you intend to
contribute. No one who attempts to
join the UAB is rejected. Our
committees are open to everyone as
well as our board meetings, which
are held every Tuesday at 4:00 in
246 Gemmell. We appreciate
everyone's help who is willing.
Help is never turned down and
voiced opinions are never ignored.
Thank You

"I do happen to know the lord, as do many other gays and lesbians"
Dear Editor,
I am called upon once again to
defend myself and the gay
community of which I am proud to
be a member. Ms. Lavieta Lerch has
yet again called upon someone to
lead her in the right direction. She
said that I personally attacked her.
And she did not attack me? She
attacked the homosexual community
in general, and since I am a lesbian,
she did attack me, as well as all
other homosexuals on this campus.
Well, I will respond to her again.
Ms. Lerch, you call upon me to
educate you. So be it
You bring up the sexual practices
that you feel homosexuals partake
in. Well, I am sure that those things
do occur in our community, aside
from your ficticious tool box
anecdote. However, these practices
are not common, as you claim, and
these practices occur in the
heterosexual community as well.
Furthermore, everyone has a right to
do with their body as they please.
The body is something which people
have complete control over, and
even if what they do is harmful, it is
up to them to decide if they wish to
do those things.
Furthermore, homosexuals hardly
seem to have the monopoly on
promiscuity in this country. In fact, I
happen to know a lot more
heterosexuals that practice casual
sex than homosexuals. There is more
monogamy in homosexual
relationships than most people
realize. I often wonder that if people
are so concerned with our assumed
promiscuity why monogamy is not
sanctioned through the institution of
legalized marriage. I believe that is
because people are scared that
letting us marry whom we want
would only make it seem as if the
nation were condoning
homosexuality.
I am happy that you have a
"personal relationship with God"
Ms. Lerch. However, do you mind if
the rest of us share in his bountiful
grace? It is a common fallacy to
believe that homosexuals cannot
know the love of God. Well, I
happen to know the Lord, as do
many other gays and lesbians. Ms.
Lerch claims that God hates
homosexuals with good reason.
Well, I am not sure what God she
claims to, but the Creator would
never create a people with the
capacity to love others and make
that sinful. Many people claim that I
will go to hell for being a practicing
lesbian. Well, I think that the so-
called Christians that judge others
for being different because of race,
sex or sexual preference will be
there when I arrive. In my mind,
God is merciful, loving, and
forgiving. However, those that feel
the need to judge others seem to so
often forget that we were not placed
here to judge others; God is the only
judge. We were sent here to embrace
others in love.
Furthermore, I am not tolerant of
Ms. Lerch's position, and if that
means I am practicing a double
standard as she claims, then so be it.
I am not tolerant of her position
because her position promotes
hatred and violence against
homosexuals. My position promotes
pride and self-knowledge. And we
are trying to gain acceptance in the
nation, but that does not mean that
we are promoting our sexuality as
the preferred choice over
heterosexuality. Homosexuals only
desire the equality with
heterosexuals that we deserve. We
are no different from heterosexuals.
Our love is just as wonderful as that
shared by a straight couple. We only
choose to love someone that is of the
same sex. I only hope that we as a
community will not be treated as a
lower cast than the heterosexual
community forever. And I will not
be placed below heterosexuals at all
because I will not let Ms. Lerch's or
anyone else's sentiments of
homophobia keep me below them.
God sent us to the Earth to spread
love. Love has no face or biases. It
fills the human heart and we release
it to whomever captures our joy and
our love. I love the woman I am
with because she makes me happy
and has taught me how to love. That
is what life is all about. Love is a
sanctuary where we find ourselves
in someone's heart. Anyone can love
absolutely anyone else. The
emotions and joy that we feel in gay
relationships are as special as those
felt by straight couples.
I only hope that other gays,
lesbians, and bisexuals feel the
courage inside of them to be strong
against the negative and ill informed
conclusions that Ms. Lerch has made
against us. "Normal" is not defined
by anyone but ourselves. Each
person defines what that is for
themselves, and no one can tell me
that I cannot love whom I want.
As for the fact that I have never
spoken to you, Ms. Lerch, I feel that
you will never open your mind to
what I have said. My heart goes out
to you and I hope that you can
unleash your homophobia and let
love reign. In this forum, I hope that
light has been shed upon others who
used to hold the beliefs that Ms.
Lerch holds. I feel truly sorry for her
because she obviously is being eaten
alive by hatred, a fierce emotion that
tears at the soul. It saddens me to
know that, in a nation where we
have come so far, we are still so far
behind.

Attitude displayed to band is questionable
Dear Editor,
I'm writing about an incident that
happened at Saturday's football
game against Slippery Rock. I am
very upset about our athletic
director, Mr. Bob Carlson, and the
football team's attitude towards the
marching band. As the band finished
up their halftime show, the clock
showed that there was still 1 minute
and 30 seconds left in the halftime.
Plenty of time for the band to play
the fight song and get off the field.
So why was Mr. Carlson yelling for
the Drum Major to stop playing the
fight song, (take note that this is the
fight song he doesn't want us to
play), using vulgar language such as,
"Get the hell off the God Damn
field," and pushing the alumni band
off the field (is this how all Clarion
alumni should be treated?) Not only
did the band deal with Mr. Carson,
but the football players added their
own such as, "get this trash off the
field," and use of other vulgar
language.
I think the football team should
realize how much the band goes out
of their way to accommodate to
them. The band is constantly cutting
off in the middle of songs so that
they aren't playing during a snap.
They tried playing softer during the
snaps but that wasn't enough for the
football team. Their next step was to
just cut off in the middle of a song,
which makes it look bad on the
bands part. The band has also went
out of their way to get off the field
before the end of halftime.
Sometimes doing this by playing a
song twice as fast to get done on
time.
The football team also should
realize that the band has been there
to cheer them on for years now. It
didn't matter if they were on a
losing streak or a winning streak, the
band has been there cheering them
on and trying to keep the spirits of
the fans up. So is this the way you
treat some of your greatest fans; by
swearing at them and calling them
trash? I know I would find the
stands very dead if it wasn't for the
band. What's worse is this happened
while playing the fight song. I can't
believe the football team would call
their own fight song "trash." That is
what I call "school spirit." As for
Mr. Carlson, what kind of leader are
you? Screaming at the Drum Major
and pushing alumni.

Troopers say father shook son
-A man shook his son so hard that his eyes bled and his retinas
were damaged, state troopers alleged.
Two-month-old Brandon Sutton was in fair condition Tuesday at
Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.
On Wednesday, 27-year-old Morrie Sutton shook the boy as he
cared for him at home in Berlin, Somerset County, police alleged.
Sutton was angry because the boy would not stop crying as he
was being fed and burped, according to police papers. Sutton was
charged with aggravated assault and child endangerment.
Man Admits causing car crash
-A man told a judge that he followed his ex-girlfriend and her
new boyfriend into a park and orchestrated a car crash that put
them both into comas.
Allegheny County Judge Donna Jo McDaniel on Monday
sentenced Thomas Maryanski to eight to 20 years in prison. He
will be eligible for parole in 2003.
He had dated Plum High School cheerleader Melissa Negley for
five months before she broke up with him in 1994.
Maryanski had spotted Miss Negley, 18, and Thomas Lou, 18, at
an open house at a vo-tech school and followed them into Boyce
Park in suburban Pittsburgh.
He admitted that he forced Lott's car off the road and into two
trees on Nov. 3, 1994. He pleaded guilty to aggravated assault,
stalking and reckless endangerment.
Clinton golfs after return from Israel
-President Clinton golfed in a chilly raiki Tuesday, saying
afterwards he had a "great game" despite the weather.
Hours after returning to the nation's capital from Israeli Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin's funeral, Clinton spent more than three
hours on the links at an Arlington, Va., country club with Deputy
Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles, a frequent golf partner.
His recent weekend schedules often filled with official events,
Clinton has taken time out for several weekday golf outings. In
October he hit the greens on Columbus Day. He also golfed on the
Tuesday after he joined world leaders for the 50th anniversary of
the United Nations.

Drum Major and pushing alumni.
This isn't the first incident the band
has had with you.
Two years ago, I recall, that you
grabbed one of the trumpet players
by the arm and started screaming at
him because the band was playing in
the stands. Now you are pushing
alumni? I think you need to start
controlling your actions or one of
these days you might find yourself
in big trouble.
You are supposed to be a grown
adult setting good examples, not an
immature adult who can't control
himself. You might also need to
realize that you not only caused the
loss of alumni who support the band,
but alumni who support the school.
After what you did to them, do you
think they would have any reason to
support the school?
I also have a question for you, Mr.
Carlson? You say mat there is a rule
about the band playing during snaps
I would like to see this rule and I
also want to know why other bands
don't have to follow this rule?
I am very confused about this
whole situation. Last year when we
didn't go to away games, many
people were upset that we weren't
supporting our team. But this is what
happens when we do support them. I
just don't get it.

Students concerned with federal aid cuts
Dear Editor,
Recently, we, the College
Republicans, have been made aware
of a growing concern on campus
dealing with the issue of cuts in
student loans. Many students on the
Clarion Campus have been misled to
think that the Republican leadership
in Washington has set out to take
away funding from college students
in order to create a balanced budget.
This information is simply not true.
The simple facts, as stated by
Representative Bill Goodling
Chairman of the House Economic
and Educational Opportunities, are
these: "No student will lose
eligibility or access to college loans
under our budget proposal; the in-
school interest subsidy will remain
intact; we will not increase the loan
origination fee paid by students; we
do not increase rates on loans for
students; and the interest rate
reduction for new loans scheduled to
take effect in July 1998 will remain
intact."
Under the Republican bill the Pell
Grant maximum awards will be the
largest in history, and in 1996 and
the Work Study Program, which
allows eligible students to work a
maximum often hours per week to
gain money for college, will not be
cut.
The only change in interest
subsidies will occur during the six
month grace period following a
students graduation. Now students
will have the opinion of paying the
interest on the loan during that six
month grace period or allowing the
interest to accrue and pay the
interest when loan paybacks begin.
This will add only about $4 monthly
to the average loan payback
payment. In fact, republican efforts
to balance the budget will actually
lower interest rates by 2 percent.
These are the facts as stated by
Chairman of the House
Subcommittee with jurisdiction over
student aid programs, Buck
McKeon.
The College Republicans welcome
any questions or comments from
concerned students. Our mailing
address is: 251 Gemmell~Box 685.
Don't let liberal scare tactics keep
you in the dark. Make yourself
informed.

Parking situation still causes student problems
The parking situation at
Clarion University is the cause of
extreme frustration for many of the
students. It is difficult enough to find
a parking place on campus because
Public Safety gave out more parking
permits than there are spaces. The
fact that some people haven't yet
learned how to park adds to the
problem.
Parking lot Y near Still Hall
seems to be the main problem area. I
do not understand why people park
the way they do there. When you
get down to Still Hall, you notice
many places you could park, if
people would have parked a little
closer to the car beside them. And
sometimes you can pull your car into
a space, but you can't get your doors
open. That causes problems for
people with two-door cars.
I have seen cars pulled in
inconveniently crooked, taking up
two places. Would people do that if
there were lines mere? Probably not
Most of these people that do this
have really nice cars. My response
to that is either park in a lined
parking lot or buy a less expensive
car. We are college students, I think
we should have learned how to park
a car by now. Like many of you, I
would rather park in the upper lot
instead of the one down over the
hill, especially when the weather is
bad.
So, if you are one of the people
who park down at parking lot Y, do
us all a favor and try to pay closer
attention to how you park.

Coolio concert was no place for children
Dear Editor,
I am writing in regards of the
Coolio concert put on by UAB this
past week. I enjoyed the concert, but
was deeply upset to see such young
children there.
This concert was a college event
and was suited for college age
people not for school children.
This university is an establishment
of higher education and has certain
ideals it should live up to. What kind
of education or cultural experience
are we providing by exposing
children to that kind of language?
I know that we cannot completely
shield them from it because after all
that is the society we live in, but we
can limit this kind of exposure.
If this concert had been a movie it
would have had a stronger rating due
to the language and children would
not be permitted in the theater, so
why could they be at this concert?
I saw children who were probably
seven or younger.
This is a disgrace. I hope that in
the future UAB considers this sort of
problem when selling tickets to their
events.
This was a college concert and
should not have had children there!

Meal plan offered is unsatisfactory
Dear Editor,
My name is Mary Beth Smith and
I'm a freshman here at Clarion
University. I am writing regarding
the meal plan that is provided to the
students at this university. At the
beginning of each semester, each
student chooses a meal plan, which
is billed with our tuition. I think we
should be given a choice whether we
want to eat in the cafeteria or at the
snack bar. We are only permitted to
eat in the snack bar if we purchase
an optimum meal plan. I do not feel
that this is fair. There are some
students who do not want or need
flex dollars, but they would like to
eat at the snack bar once in a while.
Students should be given the chance
to eat at either place, no matter what
type of meal plan they have.When
students eat at the cafeteria, we are
allowed the following prices per
meal: hreakfast-$2.40, lunch-$3.65,
and dinner-$4.35. If we choose to
eat at the snack bar, we are allowed
the following prices per meal:
breakfast-$1.80, lunch-$2.85, and
dinner-$3.20. I feel that we are
being ripped off if we decide we
want something different than
cafeteria food. It's a fact that when a
student eats at the cafeteria, it's all
you can eat but that should not make
a difference. When paying to go to
this university, most of the students
pay for a meal plan. And the amount
we pay is based on the cafeteria
prices. But if we choose to eat at the
snack bar, we are losing money
because the cash allowance is a lot
less than the prices at the cafeteria.
Is there anything that can be done so
we, the college students, are not
being ripped off and have a choice to
eat at either place?
Sincerely,
Mary Beth Smith

What's going
on in the rest
of the nation?
Student's pet snake can't
take the heat
YORK, Pa.-How much heat can a pet snake handle? When a York
College freshman saw fire trucks leaving his residence hall as he
returned from classes recently, he must have realized he'd found the
limit
Despite dorm rules prohibiting pets, Golan Wolkowitz and his room-
mate had shared their room with a 2-foot python since the beginning
of the school year. To help keep the snake warm while he was at class,
Wolkowitz placed its aquarium in his closet next to a lamp, then put a
towel over both. The towel, however, caught on fire. Wolkowitz's
snake was killed and the room was severely damaged in the fire.
Several other rooms on his floor were damaged by smoke.
"Luckily, no one was home,** says York spokesperson David Salter,
adding that monetary damages from the fire could be as high as
$25,000. "Students from seven rooms on Mr. Wolkowitz's floor had to
be relocated because their rooms were not in a condition to live in."
Salter says Wolkowitz and his roommate will be punished for hous-
ing the snake.
Colorado gets tough on
student-teacher relationships
BOULDER, Colo.-If professors at the University of Colorado want to
date students in their classes, they'll have to let their superiors know
about it.
Colorado becomes the latest school to set up guidelines for student-
teacher relationships, hoping to avoid any liability in future sexual
harassment cases. The new policy covers the potential student rela-
tionships of staff members as well.
"This is a way to protect the student, the professor and the school,"
says university spokesperson Pauline Hale. 'This isn't about moral
judgments or forbidding relationships. It's simply a way to ensure that
students are not taken advantage of."
Instructors who are found in violation of the guidelines will be
reviewed by a school committee and could face punishment
UC's policy is similar to policies at other universities. Some schools,
such as the University of Virginia, have placed an outright ban on rela-
tionships between professors and students in their classes. At the
University of Iowa, "amorous'* relationships between faculty members
and students are forbidden when the instructor has any role of direct
responsibility to the student outside the relationship.
Some schools, like Vermont State College, have guidelines spelling
out the administration's disapproval of student-teacher relationships,
though there are no provisions that directly ban them.

Death of Israeli Prime Minister
Rabin dies, world mourns
by Mary Beth Curry
News Editor
The American flag as well as
the flag of Clarion University
flew at half mast on Monday,
November 6, 1995 as a show of
mourning for Israeli Prime
Minister, 73-year-old, Yitzhak
Rabin.
Hundreds of thousands of peo-
ple around the world are in
mourning over the death of the
assassinated statesman and sol-
dier.
The assassination took place on
Saturday, November 4 at a pro
peace rally held in Tel Aviv and a
suspect has been named.
Yigal Amir, a 27-year-old law
student infiltrated the usually
flawless security. The break-
down came when the guards
apparently mistook the student
for a driver and allowed him to
move close enough to attack with
his 9mm Beretta.
The Jewish extremist admitted
to interrogators that he wanted to
put an end to Rabin's policies on
peace.
He claimed that his actions
were entirely permissible within
his religion which allows it's fol-
lowers to stop people who try to
give away part of the biblical
Land of Israel.
The attack supposedly hap-
pened because of the recent
intense debate over the future of
the West Bank.

men mourned him in the court-
yard in front of the Israeli parlia-
ment. The vigil which began on

Senate appropriation passed
UAB allocated money to continue movie nights
Jason Stacy/Clarion Call
Th« UAB has reached an agreement with the theaters downtown to allow students to have
movie nights.
by Mary Beth Curry
News Editor
The Clarion University
Activities Board received an allo-
cation of $840 in order to contin-
ue the movie nights being held
every Tuesday.
The money came from the sup-
plemental fund, which is set up in
order to accommodate such
needs by a campus organization.
As of November 1, the total sum
of the fund was listed as $9,026
and the total amount available in
the capital fund reached a total of
$85,698. These are the figures as
reported by Student Senate
Appropriations Chair at the
November 6 meeting.
UAB Union Activities chair,
JenPclly, presented her concerns
at the lack of funds to the senate
and then participated in a brief
session of question and answer.
She stated that the reasons for the
need in increased funding arose
because the Activities Board did
not anticipate the popularity of
the movie nights, which have
sold out consistently. The Board
stated that because of this popu-
larity they did not wish to discon-
tinue the activity.
She said in a recent interview,
"The Activities Board has been
very pleased with the success of
the movies program. Because of
the program's popularity, we
needed to request supplemental
funds from senate in order to
ensure that students will still
receive the benefits from show-
ing the movies in the local cine-
ma.
Felly explained that this is the
first attempt to reach an agree-
ment between the Activities
Board and the Clarion communi-
ty that has enjoyed a great
amount of success for both par-
ties.
The contract is set so that the
UAB pays a discounted rate for
students who attend. A represen-
tative is on hand to check for val-
idated student IDs and to keep
track of the tickets those attend-
ing are given.
Pelly went on to say that

Letters tc the Editor Cent frcm pg. 4
"Erase the negativity your name carries in the university band program
**
Dear Editor,
This letter will probably not be of par-
ticular interest to many readers, but
nevertheless I feel the need to write it.
The topic here is not the debate that has
been seen recently in the pages of The
Call. Instead, it is a different debate
that has been going on for quite some
time here at Clarion campus. This
debate is between the music depart-
ment and the athletic department.
Moreover, it is an undying argument
between Mr. Bob Carlson or his staff
and the Golden Eagle Marching Band.
It has been a tradition here at Clarion
University for more than three and a
half decades that the Marching Band's
presence at football games and other
athletic events will provide the team
with support and the audience with
entertainment. The Marching Band is
allotted with funds to travel to certain
away football games, and they are
assumed to be at all home games.
Much time goes into preparing for
these performances and the members
take it very seriously. We meet for a
camp before the fall semester begins,
and then we spend two hours a day for
three days a week during the rest of the
semester to practice. Other time is
taken by the Director of Bands and the
leaders of the band to prepare drill,
music, and other necessary items. The
final outcome is an enjoyable afternoon
on the weekend spent cheering on our
football team to a victory.
Somewhere over the past few years
though, this procedure has changed. An
event took place where the football
coaching staff approached the band and
asked them not to play cheers during
the majority of the game. However this
matter was handled, it left our band
members sitting in the stands while the
visiting band played continuously dur-
ing the game. It has given the Marching
Band an undeserved name among other
bands in our division. Feeling this slack
from other bands, many of the
Marching Band's members have
become upset and therefore decided to
take matters into their own hands.
Currently during football games, Mr.
Carlson or his staff will take out frus-
tration on the Marching Band, and in
turn individual members of the band
writing this letter to say as a member of
the band this MUST stop.
I am placing blame on no one's shoul-
ders. I feel that Mr. Carlson does his
job in relation to the football team very
adequately. But for one reason or
another, there is a feud. Nothing has
been accomplished by the yelling that
goes on by both sides of this argument.
It is immature and should not take
place on the university level.
Having said this, I want to finally use
this opportunity to apologize for
actions that have taken place recently. I
do not take part in the argument and do
not wish to. I would like to see the band
play more music at the football gamej,
but if that is troubling to your staff, Mr.
Carlson, please let the band know. And
do it politely. Whatever has happened
in the past, I am sure the stories have
embellished. Therefore, I would like to
forget them. And I am extending to you
the opportunity to erase the negativity
your name carries in the university
band programs. All you have to do is
phone the band office and ask them to
not play when it is disturbing and give
them your reasons. This will clear up
the matter at hand and will keep this
absurd issue from arising in the future.
Thank you in advance for your cooper-
ation.
Sincerely,
Jason Thomas Campbell
Some deep thoughts from a Clarion University junior
Dear Editor,
As a Junior here at Clarion University
I have been pondering some thoughts
as to some of the things that the
University does wrong with certain
areas of campus and I am sure I am not
alone in my quest for the answers to
these mind-boggling questions. Here
are some of the main concerns that I
have? Why is it that Chandler Dining
hall never serves chicken nuggets, but
has ham barbeque or stir-fry every
other day?
Why does it matter in the weight
room whether the weights are put back
on the rack? It's not like if you sit them
on the floor or leave them on the bar
that the rust will deoxidize off of them !
Plus, half of the barbells are missing
anyway.
Why does it seem like Gemmell is
open longer than the library? There is
nothing in Gemmell and there is cer-
tainly nothing in Gemmell to study
with. Why does TV- 5 look like a bad
episode of Americas Funniest Home
Videos?Why is Senator Steigelman
shoving coffee in our face everywhere
we look? I think I am addicted to caf-
feine just by smelling it everywhere I
go? Why does President Reinhard need
to build a new house? I have been
inside of her house, and I wouldn't
mind living there.
Why do the Little Italy line workers
in Chandler get paid $4.50 an hour to
stand there and watch me serve
myself?Why does the school only have
six lines for TelReg; one thousand
other people are trying to call in at the
same time. Why is it that we pay 85 dol-
lars to the University Activities Board
each year, to listen to poetry readings
and square dances that nobody attends,
yet we still pay for big name con-
certs? Why are the dorms so crowded
this year? I think I hear our national
grade point average screaming as it
drops! Why does the school tell us that
it isn't how old the equipment is, it is
the basic concept? Well, get me on a
basic concept that will work when I go
to use it, (Video editors) Why does the
school wait until there is five inches of
ice on the sidewalks before they send
the salt trucks around? Why does
Reimer Snack Bar cost so much and
taste so bad? I think I am not alone
when I say nobody likes Sara Lee.
Why does public safety kick people out
of buildings when they are having fun
and no alcohol is present?
Why do Clarion townspeople give
students dirty looks as they walk down
the streets or when they patron their
stores? Don't they know that they
would not be here if it were not for us?
I would rather walk down the street in
New York City sometimes !Why is it
that we are a dry campus, yet President
Reinhard and the Resident Directors
can have alcohol at their facilities?
What is the purpose of Gemmell? I
don't really think it has one. Well that's
all for this edition of What's on my
mind? I will probably be back in a
month with more to complain about
Hopefully some of the problems I
pointed out will be corrected, but as I
have seen in the past, they probably
will not.
Sincerely,
Jeff Levkulich
Rice named new director of Keeling
Courtesy of University
Relations
W. Randy Rice has been named
director of student health services
for the Keeling Health Center at
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania. In this position he
is responsible for identifying
health issues on campus specifi-
cally related to a college popula-
tion, and incorporate it into the
services provided by the Keeling
Health Center.
The Keeling Health Center is
open eight hours a day, seven
days a week, to serve the health
needs of the Clarion University
students.
Last year the facility had 6,000
patient encounters.
"Everything is functioning well
despite the frequent changes in
leadership here over the last sev-
eral years," says Rice.
"I see some opportunities for
improvement in the area of stu-
dent services that I am setting as
the highest priority."
This includes an opening study
of how long it takes a patient to
get into the health center and how
quickly they are diagnosed, treat-
ed and depart.
"Currently, about 20 minutes
per patient is scheduled," says
Rice."
"There is nothing magical
about 20 minutes, my study may
prove it is more appropriate to
scheduled five minute appoint-
ments or 25 minute appoint-
ments"
The vast majority of cases treat-
ed involve some form of sinusitis
according to Rice.
But, 150-200 different types of
need during the last year, ranging
from dizziness to rashes and
infections, were treated.
Lab procedures and referrals
are recommended for many of
the patients and over 200 differ-
ent types of medication were pre-
scribed.
One of the new innovations at
the Keeling Health Center is the
use of a computer which will
help a student assess their own
problem, perhaps cutting down
on waiting time for an appoint-
ment.
The computer program inquires
about symptoms and will recom-
mend a solution or medication.
The diagnosis is reviewed and

approved by a registered nurse.
Rice has been involved with the
health care industry for several
years.
Originally from Charleston,
W.V., he received his B.A. in
Psychology from the University
of Charleston, Charleston, W.V.,
and M.S. in health administration
from the Medical College of
Virginia, Richmond, Via.
He worked at Highland
Hospital, Charleston, W.V., in a
variety of positions, most recent-
ly as director of quality manage-
ment/hospital information sys-
tems from 1986-94.
He moved to Clarion in 1994,
founding Performance
Management Associates Inc., an
independent consulting company
serving hospitals and other
healthcare organizations.
"Most of my work was still in
West Virginia and I was spending
a lot of time on the road," he
says.
"When the Keeling Center
Position opened it looked like the
perfect opportunity for me. I
applied and got the job."
"One of my long-term goals for
the Keeling Health Center is to
get accreditation."
"Only about 16 percent of col-
lege health centers nationwide
have accreditation."
"My background and experi-
ence are in these procedures."
Rice's wife, KeLeigh is a
Clarion native. They have a
daughter, Teighlor.

The following is a brief synopsis of the criminal inves-
tigations conducted by Public Safety for November 2
to November 8. The Blotter is compiled by Clarion
Call Public Safety reporter, Dave Destefano.
• On November 1, officers responded to a disturbance in the lobby of
Wilkinson Hall. The RA informed officers that a small group of males
were getting out of hand.
One of the students refused to produce ID and was using obscenities
to her. Arrests are pending the identification of the individual.
•On November 4, officers investigated a report of vandalism at
Gemmell. Orange paint was squirted into two pictures on the side
walk outside of the multipurpose room. The investigation continues.
•Ruth Richards of Brookville was pulled over by Public Safety on
charges of careless driving. She was charged with DUI. The incident
happened on November 4.
1 On November 5, unknown actors smashed the hatchback window
of a car in lot J. The incident happened between 11:15 and 12:10.
• On November 5, Thomas Jefferies of Ralston Hall came into Public
Safety with an irate attitude because officers were unable to open his
door for him.
He became hostile with two officers and a student officer who was
working the desk. He was also loud and used obscene language on the
recorded Public Safety phone. The individual was arrested for disor
derly conduct.
At 6:55pm on November 6, someone called 911 from the lobby of
Campbell Hall. Officers were dispatched, but nothing happened.
On November 6, a student reported a wallet and $20 stolen from her
Wilkinson Hall room.
• Officers responded to a call for the odor of marijuana on 4th floor
Campbell on November 7. After knocking on a door and being invit
ed in, officers found drug paraphernalia and a substance believed to be
marijuana. Names of the occupants of the room are being held pend
ing further investigation.

Senate votes to help students
Courtesy of College Press
Service
WASHINGTON-Faced with
increased pressure from students
and educators, the U.S. Senate
voted late Friday to scrap billions
of dollars of proposed cuts that
would have increased student
loan costs to students, their fami-
lies and colleges.
The Senate voted unanimously
for an amendment that stripped
three provisions-each unpopular
on campuses-from its budget-cut-
ting bill. The Jeffords-
Kassebaum-Snowe amendment
reduces the overall cut to student
aid by $5.8 billion, down from
$10.8 billion. It also:
•eliminates a tax on colleges
of 0.85 percent of their student
loan volume.
•restores the six-month
grace period in which the govern-
ment pays the interest on the
loans of students who have grad-
uated.
•removes the increase in the
interest rate on PLUS loans.
"This was a significant victory
for students and colleges through
an effective legislative campaign
that brought the entire college
community together," said Sen.
Paul Simon (D-IU.), who helped
forge the compromise. The soli-
darity of the higher education
community was crucial."
From e-mail to phone calls, stu-
dents flooded legislators with
messages protesting the cuts.
"We heard from senators who
said their staffers were swamped
with phone calls and letters," said
Laura Wilcox, spokesperson for
the American Council on
Education.
"They weren't about to ignore
that, and they didn't"
Ivan Frishberg, director of the
U.S. Public Interest Research
Group, says that the efforts of
students had a direct impact on
the Senate vote. "In the week
before the vote, there were more
than 6,000 calls to Congress from
students," Frishberg said. "They
really made their voices heard?"
Jeannette Galanis, president of
the United States Student
Association, says students real-
ized how bleak their student aid
situation could have been and
reacted. "People took the time
out to make phone calls and write
letters because it's their future
that's at stake," Galanis said.
"They said, "This is it Enough is
enough."*
Frishberg agrees. Sen. (Nancy
L.) Kassebaum originally
defended her first proposal to the
hilt telling students how every-
one had to make sacrifices," he
said. "Then she turned around
and proposed that we wipe out all
the education cuts that she just
defended."
Michael Lowen, a senior at
DePaul University in Chicago,
says the recent threats to the
direct student loan program made
him get involved. "This was the
first time I really felt like some-
thing was at stake," Lowen said.
"When you see that there's a
chance of your loan getting
reduced or your grant shrinking,
you don't have a choice."
But while Kassebaum (R-
Kansas eventually led the effort
to kill the three major provisions
that came out of the Committee
on Labor and Human Resources,
which she chairs, the final Senate
bill kept a proposed 20-percent-
cap on the total volume of loans
provided through direct lending.
Direct lending is the program
under which student loan dollars
are doled out directly to colleges
from the Department of
Education, bypassing banks and
lending institutions. Proponents
of direct lending say the program
saves on paperwork, gives stu-
dents more repayment options,
and provides students with their
loan money more quickly.
Currently, 40 percent of all
schools are enrolled in direct
lending.
Secretary of Education Richard
Riley says the notion of cutting
back schools who currently
receive direct loans doesn't make
sense. "This action will deny
these schools the opportunity to
participate in a program that they
have voluntarily selected," he
said.
Still, Riley said he was relieved
to see some compromise on the
Senate's pari, even if they "acted
only after a storm of protest
shamed the senators into taking
the right course."
An aide to Kassebaum, howev-
er, said that the interests of the
students were considered all
along. "We tried to work out a
compromise that worked for
everyone," said Joel Bacon. 'To
say that Sen. Kassebaum wanted
to make life harder for students is
absurd. She was acting in the best
interests of the country."
Bacon does admit however,
that the student outcry was con-
sidered in the senator's proposal.
"The input of any citizen is
always welcome," he said. "The
entire governing process works
best when your constituents let
you know what's on their mind.
That's how effective legislation
is formed."

LIFESTYLES
Students homeless for 24 hours
by Lisa C. Caybr
Clarion News Writer
After spending eight hours sit-
ting on the corner of Eighth
Avenue and Wood Street,
Stephanie Pomager could only
imagine how cold she would feel
after 16 more hours with only a
cardboard box as her shelter.
"People I know don't under-
stand why I am doing it," said
Pomager, as she adjusted her hat
and pulled her sweater tighter
around her.
By pretending to be homeless
for just 24 hours, Pomager hoped
to gain a better understanding of
and compassion for those who
are really without a home.
The "Sleepout for the
Homeless" was designed to bring
attention to homelessness. The
event was organized by Clarion
University's Residence Life
office, United Campus Ministry,
Into the Streets, and Habitat for
Humanity as part of a five-week
effort to collect non-perishable
food items for the
Jefferson/Clarion County
Community Action Agency.
At the sleepout, sponsored CUP
students and employees and com-
munity leaders agreed to be
homeless for at least one hour,
with a donated cardboard box
and plastic tarp as their only shel-
ter. CUP senior Gara Smith of
DuBois, an intern at Community
Service Learning, said people
who stopped at the comer donat-
ed more than $100.
"Hie majority of the money to
be donated was pledged," said
Smith of the event which began
at 8a.m. Nov.3 and concluded 24
hours later. "In total, we are sure
we raised over $500 to be donat-
ed to Community Action."
Pomager said many people
crossed the street to avoid walk-
ing near the makeshift shelters
erected on the sidewalk, seldom
bothering to look directly at the
people inside. That was no easy
task, said Smith, as the location
was specifically chosen because
it was both on campus and high-
ly visible.
"We came here after sleeping in
an apartment all night," said
Pomager, who even left home
without eating breakfast. "I
thought it would be better to do it
on an empty stomach."
Smith said there were some
who passed by, offering blankets,
hot chocolate, food and best
wishes.
"A gentleman, we don't know
who he was, went over to
Wendy's and brought us two
bowls of chili, Pizza Joe's
dropped off some pizza rolls and
about 2:30, some wrestlers went
to 7-Eleven and brought us some
coffee," said Smith. "It would be
wonderful to think all homeless
were treated as well as we were,
but I know that is not true."
Like Pomager, Smith agreed to
spend all 24 hours in the shelter.
At 4p.m., she had piled on three
layers of clothing and said she
expected to add to the total
before the night was through.
"It is cold right now. I can't
imagine what it will be like when
the sun goes down," said
Pomager.
"I am afraid to sleep because of
the coldness," added Smith, who
later said she never did drift off to
sleep the entire night "I just laid
there so I could listen to people."
Hours after the event had con-
cluded, Smith said she was still
cold, and even felt a little guilty
as she took a hot shower to warm
up.
The goal of the exercise was to
raise $500, but Smith said it was

"Statistically, one in three
Americans, for at least three
months in their lives, will be

"One person being homeless is
too much."
Smith said there are people
without homes in Clarion
County. Although we may not see
them on the streets, Smith said
they live in abandoned buildings,

Radical new concept in poultry safety by Dave Barry
We are approaching the
Thanksgiving holiday, when we
pause to reflect on our blessings
by eating pretty much nonstop
for an entire day, then staggering
off to bed, still chewing, with
wads of stuffing clinging to our
hair.
It's a spiritual time, yes, but it
can also be a tragic time if an
inadequately cooked turkey gives
us salmonella poisoning, which
occurs when tiny turkey-dwelling
salmon get into our blood, swim
upstream and spawn in our brains
(this is probably what happened
to Ross Perot). That's why the
American Turkey and Giblet
Council recommends that, to
insure proper preparation, you
cook your turkey in a heated
oven for at least two full quarters
of the Viking-Lions game, then
give a piece to your dog and
observe it closely for symptoms
such as vomiting, running for
president, etc.
Some day, perhaps, we won't
have to take these precautions,
not if the U.S. government
approves a radical new concept
in poultry safety being proposed
by a company in Rancho
Cucamonga, Calif. I am not
making up Rancho Cucamonga:
it's a real place whose odd-
sounding name, if you look it up
in your Spanish-English dictio-
nary, turns out to mean
"Cucamonga Ranch." I am also
not making up the poultry-safety
advance, which was discussed in
a lengthy news story by Randyl
Drummer in the May 16 issue of
the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin,
sent in by many alert readers.
Before I quote from this story, I
need to issue a:
WARNING TO TASTEFUL
READERS: You should NOT —
I repeat, NOT — read the rest of
this column if you are likely to be
in any way offended by the term
"turkey rectums." Speaking of
which, the editors of The
Nashville Banner will definitely
want to take a close look at the
following material. Thank you.
The story appears on The Daily
Bulletin's business page, under
the headline, PACER BACKING
NEW USE FOR GLUE. It
begins, I swear, as follows:
"RANCHO CUCAMONGA—
Jim Munn hopes that the govern-
ment and the poultry industry
will get behind his process for
gluing chicken and turkey rec-
tums."
Jim Munn, the story explains, is
the president of a company called
Pacer Technology, which makes
Super Glue. Munn, the story
states, believes that meat contam-
ination can be reduced by "gluing
shut the rectal cavities of turkeys
and chicken broilers." (Needless
to say, this would be done
AFTER the chickens and turkeys
have gone to that Big Barnyard
In The Sky; otherwise everybody
involved would have to be paid a
ridiculous amount of money.)
The story states that "Munn
became intrigued by a poultry
rectal glue product after a federal
inspector contracted him and said
he had used Super Glue on a
turkey."
I frankly find it hard to believe
that a federal employee would
admit such a thing, after what
happened to Bob Packwood, but
Jim Munn thought it was a terrif-
ic concept. He plans to market
the product under the name —
get ready — "rectite."

"Poultry officials applaud the
idea," states the story.
I do, too. I am all for gluing
turkeys shut; in fact, I think they
should be glued shut PERMA-
NENTLY, because, as a con-
sumer, I do not wish to come into
contact with those gross organs,
necks, glands, etc. that come
packed inside them. There are
few scarier experiences in life
than having to put your unarmed
hand inside the cold, clammy
recesses of a darkened turkey and
pull those things out, never
knowing when one of them will
suddenly come to life like the
creature in the movie "Alien,"
leap off your kitchen counter and
skitter around snacking on house-
hold residents.
So I urge you to telephone your
congressperson immediately and
state your position on this issue
clearly and forcefully, as follows:
"I favor gluing turkey rectums!"
And while you have your con-
gressperson on the line, you
might want to point out that The
Walt Disney Co. is secretly using
cartoon movies to promote sex.
Yes. I have here a document
from an organization called the
American Life League, entitled,
"OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON
DISNEY"S PERVERTED ANI-
MATON." The document states
that Disney has been putting
smut into its cartoon movies, and
cites the following example,
which I am still not making up:
— In "Aladdin," "when Prince
Ababwa calls on Princess
Jasmine on her balcony, a voice
whispers, 'Good teenagers, take
off your clothes.'" The docu-
ment further asserts that in the
same movie, Abu the monkey
says a bad word.
—In "The Little Mermaid," the
officiator in the wedding scene
"is obviously sexually aroused."
Not only that, but "the box cover
of 'The Little Mermaid' contains
a phallic symbol in the center of
the royal castle."
— In "The Lion King," when
Simba plops down, "the cloud of
dust that he stirs up, to the upper
left of his head, forms the letters
S-E-X." (Which, if you remove
the hyphens, spells "sex.")
None of this surprises me. I
have been suspicious of the
Disney people ever since it was
first pointed out to me years ago,
that Donald Duck does not wear
pants. There is WAY more of this
perversion going on that we are
aware of, and it is not limited to
Disney. Look at the shape of the
Life Savers package! Are we
supposed to believe that's COIN-
CIDENCE?
No, this kind of thing is every-
where and today I am calling on
you readers, as concerned indi-
viduals with a lot of spare time,
to look for instances of hidden
perversion in commercial prod-
ucts, then report them to me by
sending a postcard to: Smut
Patrol, c/o Dave Barry, Miami
Herald, Miami, Fla. 33132.
Working together, we WILL get
to the bottom of this. And then
we will glue it shut.

This week's review covers
Anthrax's "Stomp 442" and
Jasper & The Prodigal Suns'
"Everything is Everything".
"Stomp 442" is Anthrax's
eleventh release to date, counting
LP's and EP's. Throughout their
history they have always been in
a constant state of change while
maintaining control of their roots
in "thrash" metal. Their last
release, "Sound of White Noise,"
was their first release with John
Bush. Bush is back on this one,
but they are minus guitar player
Dan Spitz. The music on "Stomp
442" has taken on an experimen-
COMIC BOOKS
101
tal sound while they explore what
sort of sounds they can produce
out of their guitars. These sounds
have been done before from the
likes of Helmet and Orange
9mm. I think this is a good direc-
tion for Anthrax to take in their
ever evolving sound. The vocals
are done well, but they stick out
like a sore thumb. One thing that
Anthrax hasn't learned through-
out the years is that you don't
need a guitar solo in every song.
These also stick out and grate on
the nerves, especially since they
enlisted the help of Pantera's gui-
tarist "Dimebag". The album
remains consistent to its style,

giving the listener plenty of hard
hitting tracks, but ends with a
ballad called "Bare. " All in all,
Anthrax remains a strong force in
the world of metal with "Stomp
442".
Jasper & The Prodigal Suns are
the latest jazz-influenced hip
hop. You might have been intro-
duced to Jasper on G Love and
The Special Sauce's first release.
Jasper plays guitar and handles
the vocals for this hip hop band.
The rest of the instrumentation
include upright bass, saxophone,
steel pan, and of course, drums
that will make you want to dance.
The rapping style of Jasper takes
on some of the characteristics of
such acts as Spearhead and DeLa
Soul, while the music fuses blues
and jazz. The way this album was
recorded gives it an irresistible
live quality to it. Another inter-
esting quality to "Everything is
Everything" is the use of "free
form" jazz. Out of these free
form excursions, ala Ornette
Coleman, they bring it back to
the smooth rhythms that infest
this release. The saxophone and
steel pan work carry this record-
ing and in the future should be
prevalent instead of being used
mainly for the jazz breakdowns. I
recommend this collection of
songs about struggle, pride, and
peace to anyone who enjoys this
genre of hip hop music.

Gelles concludes Foremothers Project
The Our Foremothers' Legacy Project
was concluded with a program, "Where Do
We Go From Here?" presented by Dr. Edith
Gelles. Gelles* program dealt with the
history of the United States and the impor-
tant part women played in developing the
country. This year marks the 75th anniver-
sary of Women's Suffrage, the passage of :
the 19th amendment to the United States
Constitution, granting the vote to women.
Over the past year the Our Foremothers
Legacy Project has paid tribute to those
women who have dedicated so much to
improve the status of women in America. It
has been 75 years since women have gained *&
the right to vote after many years of suf- Photo/Un , vertlty ReUrtlon .
fragists struggling to become equal. The p r EdWh Gelles
project has looked at aspects of impactful
women throughout histroy.
American Indian Movement founder speaks at CUP
Courtesy University
Relations
American Indian Movement
founder, Dennis Bank, spoke
about "Native American Beliefs
and Culture" on November 7.
It was part of the Martin Luther
King Jr. Committee Speaker
Series, "Interfaith Inspirations
for Social Change," and was
sponsored by the committee and
the CUP Office of Social Equity.
Banks, an Anishinabe, also-
known-as Nowacumig, is a
Native American leader, activist
and author. In 1968, he founded
AIM and established it to protect
the traditional ways of Indian
people and to engage in legal
cases protecting treaty rights of
natives such as hunting and fish-
ing, trapping, and wild riceing.
AIM is quite successful in
bringing Native American issues
to the public. Among other activ-
ities, AIM participated in the
occupation of Alcartraz Island,
led the Trail of Broken Treaties'
caravan across the U.S. to
Washington, D.C, and led the 71
day occupation of Wounded
Knee in 1973, where Banks was
the principal negotiator and
leader.
As a result of Wounded Knee
and the protest of a judicial
Photo/University Relations
process in a murder case in
Custer, S.D., Bans and 300 others
were arrested and faced trial. He
was acquitted of the Wounded
Knee charges, but was convicted
of riot and assault stemming from
a confrontation at Custer.
Refusing the prison term, Banks
went underground, later receiv-
ing amnesty in California.
Receiving sanctuary on the
Onondaga Nation in New York in
1984, Banks organized the Great
Jim Thorpe Longest Run from
New York City to Los Angeles.
Surrendering to law enforcement
officials in South Dakota in 1985,
he served 18 months in prison.
When released he worked as a
drug and alcohol counselor on
the Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation.
In 1987, grave robbers digging
for artifacts in Uniontown, KY,
were halted after they had
destroyed over 1,200 Native
American graves. Banks orga-
nized the reburial ceremonies and
his activities resulted in
Kentucky and Indiana passing
strict legislation against grave
desecration.
His autobiography, "Sacred
Soul," published in 1988, won

the Non-Fiction Book of the Year

spiritual running is now a multi-
cultural, international event with
Banks leading runners over
34,000 miles throughout the
world. Banks has had key roles
in the movies "War Party," "The
Last of the Mohicans," and
"Thunderheart." He had a musi-
cal tape "Still Strong, "featuring
original works as well as tradi-
tional Native American songs.

News of the weird by Chuck Shepard
The Houston
Chronicle reported in September
on the growing support among
American Muslims for once-
accused child molester Sadri
Krasniqi of Piano, Texas.
Kxasniqi, an Albanian-American,
was arrested in 1989 after wit-
nesses reported him fondling his
4-year-old daughter under her
dress, and state authorities
removed the girl and her brother
to a Christian family. In 1994,
after many delays, charges were
dropped against Krasniqi when
prosecutors became convinced
that because parent-child sex is
so unimaginable in Albania,
parental fondling — even genital
fondling — is accepted. (Muslim
critics said such fondling is cor-
rectly forbidden among
Americans because pedophilia is
so common here.) However, even
though no longer facing charges,
Krasniqi and his wife have so far
been denied the return of their
children
•Earlier mis year, in a
study of the psychological well-
being of 91 Canadian customs
officers, researchers from the
Kingston (Ontario) Sexual
Behavior Clinic concluded that
the officers whose work consists
of looking at pornography all day
showed no ill effects. (Canada
generally has stricter laws against
pornography than most U.S.
states because authorities more
readily accept the belief that
viewing pornography is danger-
ous.)
•In May, the Raleigh
(N.C.) City Council was set to
approve a rezoning of land on
behalf of Schlotzsky's Deli
because none of Schlotzsky's
neighbors objected — none, that
is, except, at the last minute, the
trade association for the state's
restaurants, whose office is next
door. Said the association's exec-
utive vice president, "Yes, this
does mean the North Carolina
Restaurant Association is
opposed to putting a restaurant
beside the [Restaurant
Association] building," citing
parking and other problems.
•According to a Texas
district attorney, more than 100
prosecutions for drug possession
are in jeopardy because defen-
dants had the good sense after
their arrests to pay the state "drug
tax." The legislature enacted the
tax in 1989 to help law enforce-
ment, but a court ruled recently
that to both collect the tax and
prosecute the defendant would be
unconstitutional "double jeop-
ardy." The latest case was the
August dismissal of charges
against San Marcos college pro-
fessor Harvey Ginsburg, who had
paid a $2,450 tax on 1 1 ounces of
marijuana.
•The Minnesota
Gambling Control board voted in
July to OK for public use the lat-
est gambling machine from
Scientific Games of Atlanta.
Played with cards dispensed from
the machine, the game involves
pull-off tabs that reveal as win-
ners three red lips, and is called
Kiss My Butt And in Lapeer,
Mich., in July, a judge turned
down the name-change petition
from disaffected, 55-year-old
John Jakubowski, who wanted
the legal name Kiss My Ass.
•Two career firefighters
and six volunteers were suspend-
ed in Seat Pleasant, Md., in
September after they brawled
over who should get to carry the
big hose into a burning house.
•In August, principal
Al Williams of Hotchkiss (Colo.)
High School resigned after his
alleged conduct at a student
assembly came under criticism.
According to news reports,
Williams demonstrated for stu-
dents the concept of "maturity"
by having two girls, one flat-
chested and the other not, stand
in profile and touch their elbows
behind them.
•In October, a jury in
Fort Lauderdale, Fla., awarded
$277,000 to former high school
soccer player Gary Beharrie, —
who was severely kicked by an
opponent in a 1992 game. The
jury found that the kick was
administered on orders from the
opposing coach, Phil Drosdick,
who told a player near Beharrie
to "Waste him!" because his team
was losing.
• Peterborough, Ontario: In
Oct, Robert McKellar, 36, plead-
ed guilty to spying on female co-
workers through a two-way mir-
ror in the employee changing
room at a local Kentucky Fried
Chicken. And in July, police said
Darren Laite, 26, was discovered
lurking in the tank of a women's
outhouse just east of town.
•Dover, N.H.: Jeremy
Brown, 21, was arrested for beat-
ing up his girlfriend in October in
a dispute over whether the O.J.
Simpson jury had reached the
proper verdict. And in August,
David Cobb, 59, of Dover, was
charged with assault and 594
counts of child pornography.
Cobb is a former Phillips
Academy teacher who reportedly
took kids into the woods, left
them briefly while he changed
clothes and reappeared in pump-
kin mask and underwear and
asked the kids to fondle him, then
went back into the brush and
reappeared clothed as David
Cobb.

University of Minnesota AAOs get gay frat house

MINNEAPOLIS-While fraterni-
ties are often grounded in tradi-
tion, an addition to fraternity row
this fall at the University of
Minnesota may be a sign of
changing times. Some members
of Delta Lambda Phi, a national
fraternity for gay and bisexual
men, moved into a house on fra-
ternity row in late August The
University chapter of the fraterni-
ty is the first in the nation to get a
bouse of its own.
Rusty Robertson, the fraterni-
ty's president, said having a
bouse helps Delta Lambda Phi
provide social opportunities and
stability to gay, bisexual and les-
bian students.
"This is a bold step forward,"
said Troy Buckmeier, a fraternity
member who lives in the house.
The building is home to seven
fraternity members and pledges,
as well as to three straight men,
two straight women and two les-
bians who are boarders.
Buckmeier said he doesn't
believe they could have had a
house on fraternity row 10 years
ago. Some members of the local
gay and bisexual community,
who graduated from the
University before the idea of hav-
ing a house on fraternity row
existed, say the idea is "gutsy and
crazy" because of the
risks involved, Buckmeier said.
Those risks include harassment
and vandalism, Buckmeier said.
Some Twin Cities gay men, les-
bians and bisexuals have been the
target of such hate crimes.
But fraternity members
said they aren't being harassed
and the house isn't being vandal-
ized.
Other fraternities on the row are
"cordial"' Robertson said. "We
haven't received bad things, but
we haven't gotten any warm invi-
tations."
Todd Grothe, house manager of
neighboring-fraternity Alpha Tau
Onega, said Delta Lamda Phi
getting a house on the row does-
n't bother him or the other men
living in his bouse. "As far as
neighbors they're fine," he said.
"They don't spill beer cans in our
yard."
But Robertson said the frater-
nity has to deal with a lot of
stereotypes within and outside
the gay, lesbian and bisexual
community. "People think of us
as a sex club," Robertson said.
"We combat that stereotype on
top of standard fraternity stereo-
types."
Because of such stereotypes,
the fraternity has to be cautious,
Robertson said. The group estab-
lished bylaws prohibiting pledges
and members from dating each
other. The fraternity also has a
"strong no-hazing policy:'
Robertson said. The gay, lesbian
and bisexual community is
'hazed enough by society:' he
added.
"There are no sexual under-
tones, Robertson said. The frater-
nity's philosophy is, "Come meet
us before you judge us."
The purpose of the fraternity
and the house is to help serve the
gay, bisexual and lesbian com-
munity at the university,
Robertson said.
The gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender offices and organiza-
tions on campus can provide edu-
cation, discussion and events for
the community, Robertson said.
But the fraternity and the house
can offer a different social atmos-
phere that is often missing from
such programs. After going to
classes students often don't want
to go to another lecture,
Robertson said. In talking to the
gay, lesbian and bisexual com-
munity Robertson said he thinks,
"what they want is to meet peo-
ple socially, hang out. . . have
fun, laugh, joke and party."
The fraternity's social activities
are similar to activities of other
fraternities, Robertson said.
Activities this fall ranged from
barbecues and movie nights to a
party that more than 200 people
attended.
The fraternity sometimes takes
a standard social event and adds a
gay theme to it, Robertson said.
This fall the fraternity had a
game night when they played a
game called Gay Monopoly.
The game "encompasses a lot
of queer culture," including dis-
cos instead of railroads, as well
as locations and resorts popular
among his community.
"Everyone thought it was a
hoot," he said. The house and
fraternity can also provide stabil-
ity for some students, Robertson
said. It is difficult for gay and
bisexual students to always be
themselves in the dormitories,
especially if they have an unac-
cepting roommate, Robertson
said.
Dan Whittaker, a sophomore
pledge of the fraternity who lives
in the house, agrees.
Whittaker said he had negative
and positive experiences living in
the university's dormitories.
But the house provides a sta-
ble, accepting home environ-
ment," and there "isn't a pressure
to conform," he said.
The house also provides a safe,
open environment for Irene
Renee Alvidrez, a straight
University student who is a
boarder at the house.
"If you're gonna live in a fra-
ternity house, this is the safest
one to live in," Alvidrez said.
She added that it is nice to live
in an environment where people
are open about their sexual orien-
tations 24 hours a day, no matter
who comes to the door.

Niedbala earns honor
Golden Eagles wrap up season against #8 ranked Edinboro
by KraigA. Koelsch
Sports Editor
The Golden Eagles wrap up
their 1995 campaign this season
as they return home to face the
Edinboro Scots at 1:00 pm at
Memorial Stadium this Saturday.
Last week the Golden Eagles
traveled to IUP and lost a close
game to the Indians 14-9.
Clarion's offense struggled
throughout the game, but the
Golden Eagle defense stepped up
and answered the challenge.
This weeks opponent the
Edinboro Scots, are ranked
eighth in division two. Last year,
the Golden Eagles knocked the
Scots out of the playoffs, with a
24-20 upset victory. This year,
Edinboro will look to avenge last
year's defeat, and also clinch a
PSAC-West title.
"Edinboro is a very good
team," praised Clarion head
coach Malen Luke. "They are a
veteran team that has quality
individual talent, but plays
together as a true team should. I
have great respect for the talent
they possess on the offensive and
defensive lines. That is where
they have controlled their oppon-
nents this year, and where I think
the outcome of this game is like-
ly to be determined. We look for-
ward to this challenge on
Saturday," he added.
Edinboro, lead by eight year
head coach, Tom Hollman, is
poised to enter the NCAA
Division II playoffs for the fifth
time in the last eight years. The
Fighting Scots are 8-1 overall
and 5-0 in the PSAC-West.
Clarion enters the game ranked

ing. The Golden Eagles are get-
ting 432.8 yards per game,

Clarion is averaging 30.6 points
per game.

Gerald Thompson.

yards per game with 1,018 yards,
7 TD's, and 175 attempts on the
season.

tions, 273 yards) at wideout and

A Clarion win would give the
Golden Eagles 7 wins, the most
since 1987.
Men's and Women's swim teams anxious to compete
by KraigA. Koelsch
Sports Editor
The 1995-96 Clarion
University men's swim team
began their season with one goal
in mind: repeating as PSAC
champions.
A young men's squad led by the
18th year head coach, Bill Miller
will be seeking their 22nd title in
26 years.
"There's no question we have a
young team, just look at our ros-
ter," explained Miller.
"I also believe this is a very tal-
ented team that has a very good
chance at winning our 22nd
PSAC title and a top 5 placing at
nationals. To do that, our veter-
ans must provide key leadership
and our young swimmers must
mature, step up and provide
strong depth," Miller added.
Clarion will be led by tri-cap-
tains, Jeff Halbert, Mike Klunk,
and Glenn Raymer.
Also expected to perform are
All- Americans, Andy Smearman,
who was also the 1995 PSAC
rookie of the year, Eric Fringer,
Jeff Reed, and John Williams.
On the boards are All-
Americans, Ken Bedford and
Andy Ferguson.
This years events will look like
this: in the freestyle events,
Williams and Fringer will likely
lead the sprints, with newcomers
Steve Wollery and Chris Haynes
giving support
The 200 will be paced by,
Fringer, Pat O'Connell, Justin
Rummel, Dave Cast, Tun Knapp,
Matt Bishop and Haynes.
The 500 will be led by potential
national qualifier, Jason Namey,
Halbert, Ben Crandell, Chris
Femandes, and Sam Thoma.
The butterfly has freshman
Rummel and Namey as possible
NCAA qualifiers. Fringer and
Klunk will contribute followed
by Knapp and Bishop. Jeff Reed
will lead the 200.
Backstroke will be led by spe-
cialists Williams and Raymer.
Williams will play second in the
100 and fourth in the 200 at
PSAC's last year. Last year,
while Raymer had two fifth place
finishes.
Breast stroke will prove to be a
strong point this year with
Smearman, who holds the school
record in the 200, contributing
along with Reed, Halbert,
Wollery, and Matt Hershock.
Diving houses two of the best
divers in the NCAA. Ken
Bedford was second on both
boards last year with Andy
Ferguson finishing fourth and
fifth respectively on the lm and
3m boards.
Newcomer Brian Ginochetti, a
PIAA state champ last year, is
expected to have a solid season.
As for the women, they hope to
continue the dominance that has
won them 20 PSAC titles in a
row.
The women's team finished
fourth at nationals last year.
"We have a quality team this
year who will be seeking their 21
PSAC title. To reach our goals,
we must stay healthy and qualify
a large contingent of swimmers
for the NCAA's. These girls
should do very well," said head
coach Bill Miller.
The women are led by captains,
Dawn Bowser and Mara
Sterelecki. Bowser, a freestyle-
IM specialist, is an 18 time Ail-
American, with honors coming
last year. Sterelecki, a freestyler,
is a four time All- American, two
from last year.
Returning All-Americans
include butterfly national cham-
pion Lauri Ratica, Regan Rickert,
Kelly Gould, Kathy Randazzo,
and diver Tammy Quinn.
For the women, the freestyle
events will be led by Ratica,
Bowser, Stephanie Wigfield,
Randazzo, Sterelecki, and
Colleen Davidson in the sprints.
Nicole Flickinger and Nicole
Roth will add support.
The 200 has Gould, Bowser,
Sterelecki, and Sharon Conley,
while Conley Suzanne Davis,
Heather Bachteler and Laura
Schmid take on the task of the
500 and the grueling 1650.
Regan Rickert leads the way for
the backstroke events. PSAC
place winner Collette
Shreckengast, Lynn Livinggod,
and Anderson add quality depth.
Christina Tillotson could quali-
fy for nationals in the 200, while
Davidson will tackle the 100.
Also ready to contribute is Jen
Alcott, a finalist at last years
PSAC's.
The versatile Tillotson and
Regina Kimball will swim the
200 and 400, with Schmid help-
ing out in the 400.
Leading the way in diving will
be Tammy Quinn a two time Ail-
American in 1994. Freshman
Wendy Casler and Julie Murray
will also attempt to qualify for
nationals.
Both the men's and women's
teams defeated Allegheny
College November 2.
They next travel to Edinboro
November 18, and return home to
host the Golden Eagle
Invitational December 1-3.
The teams then travel to Florida
for a tri-meet with Edinboro,
West Chester and Shippensburg
on January 20-21 and then travel
for a big meet at Oakland
Michigan. With Oakland,
Ashland and Edinboro compet-
ing.
NCAA's will be held March 13- .
16 at Grander Forks, ND.

Novembers 1995
Brown. Fletcher lead the wav
Golden Eagle men ready to hit the courts
by Scott D. teldman
Sports Writer
In his eighth season as Golden
Eagle Basketball Coach, Ron
Righter has never had a team
with this little of experience, in
fact he never has had a team this
young.
The 1995-96 version of Golden
Eagle basketball has no seniors
and consists of nine freshmen.
Unlike other freshmen in the con-
ference this group will skip the
frying pan of learning and be
thrown directly into the fire!
The team returns two starters
from last year's 11-15 team,
Righters first losing season in
seven years at C.U. An athletic
eagle team will look to rebound
from last year and contend in the
difficult PSAC-West.
The Golden Eagles will again
be led by lighting quick point
guard , Oronn Brown.
The 6'2" junior point guard
from Brooklyn, NY averaged
13.6 points a game last year and
made moves that left opponents
stuck on the floor at Tippen Gym.
Brown's first two seasons at C.U.
saw Oronn jump up to sixth on
the career assist list with 316
dishes.
One of Clarion's tri-captains
this season, Brown looks to have
a great season.
Also looking to lead the Eagles
this year is sharpshooting Jamie
Polak.
The 6*3" junior fromMunhall,
PA nails bombs from somewhere
near Campbell Hall as he aver-
aged 14.4 PPG and hit a team
high 68 treys last year. Polak,
also a tri-captain in 1995-96,
needs to have an outstanding year
if the Eagles are to contend.
The third tri-captain this year is
6'5" sophomore Wayne Fletcher.
Fletcher, from New York, NY,
will move in to the C.U. starting
line-up after being the sixth man
in 1994-95.
One of the most athletic players
on the Golden Eagles, Fletcher
will be counted on for points and
rebounds from the inside.
"Our captains leadership is a
big key and I know they are
ready to step foreward and accept
the challenges" stated Righter.
Other veterens on this years
team are Todd Nyquist, Scott
Crone, and Red Shirt freshman
T' Andre Rudolph.
Nyquist, a 5'4" junior, will look
to spell Brown and Polak as he
can play both guard positions.
He will look to improve his 1.1
points per game of a season ago.
Cronk, a hardworking 6'6" junior
will look to step in and lead the
Golden Eagles inside.
Rudolph, a 6'2" guard from
New Castle, will also back-up at
guard and be counted on to come
off the bench and spell the other
guards.
Although the Golden Eagles are
led by a solid :ore of veterans,
the newcomers will be the key to
a successful season. Leading the
way will be three sets of team-
mates from a year ago.
After dominating Tippin Gym in
last years state playoffs, the
Brockway High School trio will
look to make an immediate
impact for the Eagles.
Three point Bomber Brock
Bovaird and inside force Chris
Hughes averaged 22 and 21.7

look for time in 1995-96.
The second duo comes from
Central High and boasts Blair
County's all-time leading scorer
in third team all-state selection
Ben Bithell.
Bithell totaled 2,106 career
points and will be joined by
teammate Marvin Wells.
The third high school teammates
on the C.U. squad are Jeannette
High's Alvin Malloy and Charles
Wolfe.
Malloy, an ail-American last
year, averaged 25 points last year
will look to make an immediate
impact both inside and on the
perimeter.
Wolfe, a 6' 3" walk-on, aver-
aged 15 points a game and threw
in 50 three-pointers a season ago.
Also new at C.U. is
Philadelphia Inquirer top 15 fore-
ward John Doman.
Doman, an inside player at
6' 7", averaged 18 points and 10
boards a game last year. Transfer
Gregg Frist, a GA G/F, will battle
for time both at guard and for-
ward.
He averaged 29 points a game
as a high school senior before
attending Urbana College.
Rounding out the Golden Eagle
roster is 1,060 career scorer,
Brandon Kreibel.
The 6'4" forward from A-C
Valley High School averaged
19.1 points and 17.6 rebounds
and will give C.U. a physical
presence on the inside.
"We have some nice, young
players. They work hard, have
great attitudes and are a great
group to work with," Righter
added enthusiastically.
The Golden Eagles will begin
the regular season with a home
game against Teikyo Post
University on Nov. 26 and will
start PSAC-West game on Jan. 10
as they travel to Edinboro.
Lady Golden Eagle hoopers set for season
by Craig J. Ray
Sports Writer
After five straight PSAC west
titles, five straight NCAA
Division II playoff appearances,
and three PSAC titles in the last
five years it's time for the
women's basketball team to
reload.
Gone is first team Ail-
American Carlita Jones taking
away over 18 points a game.
Last year, head coach Gie
Parsons used a dominant post
game but now she may have to
look back to year's past run-and-
gun style.
Last season, Clarion had an
impressive 18-11 mark, while
going 9-3 and winning the PSAC
west title.
What about 1995-96? "With
the talent we have brought to
Clarion, we will have a lot more
options, plus we should bring a
more up-tempo game back to
Tippin Gym, "stated Parsons.
"We're hoping to open up the
court more this year, which
should give us more opportuni-
ties to score/'
Clarion may be looking to run
but when they set up, they will
have to look to senior co-captain
Mona Gaffney who averaged
16.5 PPG and 9.4 RPG, earning
her first team PSAC west honors.
The other co-captain is senior,
Amy Migyanka, who is coming
off an injury plagued two years.
She averaged 7.1 PPG last season
and ted the team with assists with
109.
Joining Gaffney and Migyanka
are juniors Joy Brown and Tina
Skelley, and sophomores Stacie
Seneta, Rachel Steinbugl and
Kathy Walton.
Someone will have to step up in
the first half of the season for
Brown because of her off season
knee surgery. Brown is one of
the top three point shooters on
the team and averaged 7.1 PPG
last season.
Skelly looks ready to step into
the spotlight this year after aver-
aging 2.6 PPG. Skelly will see
plenty of time at the post posi-
tions.
Seneta is a very versatile play-
er who will see time at the point
as well as the shooting guard
position. Seneta averaged 1.6
PPG last season, but her experi-
ence will add depth.
A starter as a freshman,
Steinbugle ted the team in three
point field goals with 69 while
scoring 8.3 PPG.
Walton, a part time starter at
swing foreward last season will
move to the post this season.
After working hard in the off sea-
son and working on her three
point shot, she looks ready to step
up.
The Golden Eagles will wel-
come five freshmen and a sopho-
more this season. The sopho-
more is Dana Nelson, a transfer
from Rhode Island. She will run
some point and give them good
range.
Freshman Alison Campbell,
Erin Collavo, Amber Hays and
Bobbi Schneider will see plenty
of time and add a deep bench.
"I'm really excited about this
season," said Parsons. The Lady
Golden Eagles open the season
November 17-18.

Some selected thoughts
0/7
The Baltimore Browns and the Cowboys-49ers
by Steven B. Wagner
Sports Writer
Usually I am for change,
whether it be in politics or in my
underwear (just kidding).
I think a fresh start program is
the best way to solve a long exist-
ing problem.
I have to make an exception
when it comes to the news of the
Geveland Browns moving out of
town.
I guess nothing is sacred any-
more in the NFL. In case you
haven't heard the facts,
Cleveland owner Art Modell,
upset by the fact that the city has
built new sporting arenas for the
Geveland Indians and the Cavs,
has reached a deal with the city
of Baltimore to move one of the
most storied NFL franchises to
that city after this season.
Now Modell is saying his rea-
soning for the move is because in
Baltimore he has guaranteed 10
years of sellouts plus a new stadi-
um to be ready for the 1998 sea-
son (the Browns would play in
Baltimore's old Memorial
Stadium until the new field is in
place).
I think that is just plain bad logic
on Mr. Modell's part
For one, the Browns sell out
every game in Cleveland now!
Plus if he really pushed bard
enough, he could get the city of
Cleveland to build him a new sta-
dium.
I think his main motive for leav-
ing is the fact that Baltimore will
pay Modell a $50 million bonus
if he moves the team now.
I think Art Modell isn't looking
past the dollars and cents of this
deal. What about the tradition?
What about the history?
Isn't there something to be said
about that?
Cleveland fans are definitely
some of the most loyal fans in
the entire league and don't look
for them to change their favorite
team no matter if they play in
Baltimore or in the Baltic.
It is conceivable that the AFC
Central, rich in pride and tradi-
tion, will have the Browns in
Baltimore and possibly the Oilers
in Nashville, as talk continues in
that city of moving.
THE SUPER MATCHUP
It was slated the game of the
year when the schedule was for-
mulated early in August.
November 12th, San Francisco
and Dallas, the real Super Bowl,
the only game that counted all
year.
The Cowboys have done their
part, racing out of the gates to an
incredible start (7-1 pending on
the 'Boys game with the Eagles
Monday night).
The 49ers are hitting this game
playing in the anti-zone, 5-4 and
Lehigh match follows

Mike Mena of Iowa.
Tom Tomeo is ranked #8 at 134
pounds, and Bryan Stout, a two-

Clarion seeded at #6 in the coun-

coming off the loss to expansion
Carolina.
That was the first time in NFL
history that a defending Super
Bowl champion lost to an expan-
sion franchise.
The 49ers have seen their
"salary cap genius" label swept
under the rug by recent injuries to
their big offensive guns.
Now they have low priced talent
running their high priced
required skill positions.
Jerry Rice isn't Jerry Rice when
he doesn't have anyone to get
him the ball.
The 49ers still have a lot of
pride left, and even though
they've had a lot of injuries,
they've still a good football team.
This won't save them from the
Cowboys, who will show no
mercy and have the NFC
Championship loss on their
minds.
I don't normally do predictions,
but since this is the "game of the
year" I'll say the Cowboys 41
San Fran 10.
NORTHWESTERN CLARIFI-
CATION
A couple of Call's ago I made a
statement of fact saying under
Big 10 rules if Northwestern and
Ohio State both go undefeated in
Big 10 play, the team that hasn't
been to the Rose Bowl the
longest would go.
That is true, but I failed to tell
you that is if both teams are
undefeated overall.
Northwestern did lose early in
the year to Miami (Ohio).
Unless Ohio State loses, which
is unlikely, Northwestern will not
go to the Rose Bowl.
It would really be a shame if
this year's Cinderella of college
football gets denied a run at the
roses from a loss to a team from
Ohio and not be Ohio State!
The "Best
Seat in The
House" will
return next
week!
Sports (Trivia Question

Letters to Editor and E-Mail messages prompt open forum
Sexual orientation panel to provide civil discussion
by Lisa Lawson
News Writer
Following a series of letters
printed in The Clarion Call as
well as recent campus discussions
on e-mail, the office of Social
Equity requested a forum to
promote open and civil
discussion on the issue of sexual
orientation.
The forum is being sponsored
by the Presidential Commission
on Affirmative Action, and will
be held on Thursday, November
16, 1995 in 248 Gemmell Student
Center from 7-9 p.m. Dr. Cari
Forden, chair of the Commission,
helped to organize the forum
which will consist of a panel of
faculty, staff and students who
Dr. Joceiyn Gent, Aulttant to
th« President for Soc W Equity.
hold a variety of perspectives on
the issue. Following the forum,
there will also be an opportunity
for audience participation. When
asked what she hopes will come
of the discussion, Forden noted,
"I hope people will have a chance
to get together and really listen to
each other and think through the
issues."
She feels the event will lead to
positive changes for Clarion
because "people have had a lot of
feelings on both sides for a long
time. By having a forum where
all sides are brought together, it
will create a safe environment so
that the issues will be talked
about more."
The panel itself will be
facilitated by Ruth Andrews, a
Conflict Resolution Specialist
from Elkhart, Indiana. Ms.
Andrews is a Master of Arts
Candidate in Conflict Resolution
at Antioch University, who
currently runs a private practice
providing civil, family, and
criminal dispute resolution
services. In the past few years,
Andrews has done a great deal of
work with the youth in society.
She has provided conflict
management training to
incarcerated youth, as well as
conducting a series of workshops
to help resolve racial conflicts at
the high school level.
Furthermore, Andrews has
worked in the court system
providing mediation for small
claims disputes, and coordinating
a victim offender reconciliation
program. One of her most recent
accomplishments was the
facilitation of of a gang-race
conflict forum. "The educational
mission of higher learning is
carried on through reasoned
discourse."
"The free expression of ideas in
a community of learning is
essential, and integrity in the use
of symbols, both written and oral,
must be continuously affirmed if
both scholarship and civility are
to flourish," according to the

Survey shows 64 percent of
Clarion graduates are employed
by Laura Guido
News Writer
The placement figures of all
Clarion graduates from 1993-94
were released from Career
Services. The figures were
results from a survey taken of
783 of the 1259 graduates of
December 1993, May 1994, and
Summer 1994 who responded to
the survey for Career Services
annual report.
64 percent of the respondents
are employed full-time, 21
percent are employed part-time
and 11 percent are pursuing
further education. Connie
Laughlin, director of Career
Services said "it is very
important for students to know
what to expect after graduation.
This survey will let them know
what is out there for them."
The survey was taken first by
sending postcards to the
graduates. Then phone calls were
made to those not responding to
the postcards. They were asked
their degree, job title, the
organization they work for, and
their yearly salaries. "We
explained to them that it is not to
see what that individual makes
but to see the statistics as a
whole," said Laughlin.
The survey serves several
purposes. It provides data to the
Council of Trustees, university
administrators, the Admissions
office, academic departments,
and other agencies who request
information on post-graduation
activities of Clarion University
graduates.
The survey is also used to
share career information with
university faculty and
administrators who advise both
current and prospective students
and it presents information on
the career paths of university
alumni for students who seek to
relate academic qualifications to
career prospects.
"Given the state of the job
market today, Clarion graduates
are doing well," Laughlin added.

OPINION
Editorial
Wake up. we
are the future!
Mary Beth
Curry
Okay, so you're busy... we all are.
I know that sometimes, to most peo-
ple CNN is not the most interesting
channel to turn to in your rare free
time, and the New York Tunes can be
a bit (by, but come on people, a lot of
you don't know anything about cur-
rent events.
It totally shocked me, after the
story I ran in the News section last
week, that people hadn't even real-
ized that world leader, Yitzhak Rabin
had been assassinated. Also, upon
hearing the news, they didn't care
why, they were just glad to know
why the flags were at half staff.
The assassination took place on
Saturday, November 4, the story ran
5 days later, and students still have
no clue as to the importance of this
event Last Wednesday, Colin Powell
announced that he would not be run-
ning for President of the United
States. I actually heard people ask
"Colin who?" Maybe it's because
I'm a political science major, but that
nearly made me cry for the future of
our country. I for one am sick of
being labeled a member of
"Generation X" because it has such
bad connotations.
During a Clarion Call executive
board meeting, we deckle what ques-
tion should be asked for the "Call On
You" section of the paper. It breaks
my heart everytime we suggest a cur-
rent event opinion question and have
to give it up because the students of
Clarion don't know what we are ask-
ing. I mean, is it right for Shawn
(Hoke) to have to give a current
events lesson to students before
snapping a picture, such as when we
asked opinions about Quebec's
secession. Okay, so maybe I'm lay-
ing the blame on the wrong people,
God knows we can't be held respon-
sible for our own lack of knowledge,
it must be the professors fault We
shouldn't have to watch CNN, they
should keep us updated in classes,
right? Although I do believe that our
professors have an obligation to help
keep us informed, they cannot be
held completely responsible for stu-
dent ignorance. How hard is it to set
the beer down for 20 minutes and
read something besides the sports
page? Maybe I'm just overreacting.
I hope I am, because if this is the way
things are going to be for the rest of
my life, it's a very sad reflection' on
this generation. I guess things could
change. Maybe after you aren't
bogged down by classes you will
find time to inform yourself about
the important happenings in the
world. I hope so, because whether
we like it or not we are the future and
it is entirely up to us, and if we go
into things blind, then we will surely
fail.

"Don't go chasing waterfalls..." a
stereo blasted the popular song in my
ears as the elevator door opened on
my floor. As I walked toward my
room, passing the bathrooms, the
sound of running water from the
showers and the flushing toilets
begin to create a harmony with the
stereo mat greeted me as I got off the
elevator.
As I got closer to my room, I beard
a television loudly displaying an
argument between an actor and an
actress on a soap opera. I then
stepped over my nextdoor neighbor
because she was sitting on the floor
in the hallway, crying into the phone
to her boyfriend with whom she had
just broken up.
I battled her phone cord, and I was
then inside my room. Finally, I can
get some peace and quiet.., or so I
thought. My room faces the highway.

so I beard the sounds of cars and car
horns as they joined the rest of the
noises that haunt me on the fourth
floor of Wilkinson Hall on the
Clarion University campus, my
home. That particular afternoon I had
planned to study, and as I sat down at
my desk, I realized that I could learn
to tolerate these little annoyances,
but now this noise is driving me
crazy.
Annoyances were the first effect of
the noise that I noticed. Whenever I
tried to study, my roommate would
come in, we would start talking, or
one of my friends would call me, or I
would hear the girls down the hall
screaming and yelling, I would jump
up and run down the hall to see what
was going on.
At first, I was just worried about
the noise distracting me and affecting
my studies and grades.
So I solved that problem by doing
my studying in the library or in the
study lounge, and my grades began
to rise. So the first problem of noise
pollution was easily solved. But not
for very long...
The noise re-entered my life with a
l brand new vengeance. Now it not
, only annoys me when I am dying to
study or dp homework in my room,
but now it just really annoys me all
of the time!
The annoyances are now more irri-
tating to me than ever. This noise is
now affecting every part of my daily
routine. Now it has stretched out of
my dorm and into my life even when
I am not in the dorm.
Before I even awake in the morn-
ing, these annoying noises have start-
ed. If I am trying to sleep in, the next
door neighbor decides to get up early
and I am awakened by her alarm.
Now I cannot get back to sleep, so I
decide to get up early too, and I begin
to get ready.
I shower and then return to my
room. Since no one on my floor ever
whispers, I can hear every conversa-
tion. Meanwhile, radios blast music
and televisions blare die morning
news through opened doors. Our
quiet hours are supposed to last from
10 p.m. until 10 am, but everyone
on my floor also seems to have for-
gotten that
I finish getting ready, and then I
head out to my first class. I sit in my
Writing n class, trying to listen to my
professor talk, but the U.S. History
class down the hall is running a film
this morning, and it can be heard all
over the building.
When my class is concluded and I
am walking out I realize that I
gained just as much knowledge about
the Civil War as I did from my own
class's lecture. And I do not even
have U.S. History this term!
It is now lunchtime, and I am sit-
ting in the cafeteria with my friends.
I am developing a severe migraine
headache from all the noise and I
cannot even hear my friends talk. In
my afternoon classes, I encounter the
same problem of noise interference
as in my morning classes, and I have
noticed that my headache has gotten
worse.
Whenever my afternoon classes are
over, I head back to my dorm room to
sleep or to study. The noise begins to
annoy me all over again. Now the
boys on the floors below me have
begun to play their stereos, yell and
sing. This is a new distraction; I can
neither sleep nor study.
Oh, yeah! There are a few other
things that cause the noise pollution
on campus.
For example, take last night. I was
peacefully asleep in my bed and all
of a sudden, I heard noise that sound- ,
ed like we were going through a
nuclear attack. This was our monthly
fire drill.
We can never just have a fire drill
in the middle of the day, like in high
school. This rude awakening in the
middle of the night caused me to be
tired and annoyed when I woke up
this morning. Also, at least once a
week, we will get a call from a drunk
person between the hours of twelve
and five ajn.
Then, to make the problem of noise
pollution even worse, there is now
construction going on outside my
building. This racket usually begins
around five in the morning and lasts
all day. I guess it is just another dis-
traction to add to the list.
Now here is part of my personal
experience with noise pollution at
Clarion University that gets really
wild and unbelievable.
My phone number in my dorm
room is listed in the Clarion phone
directory as the telephone number for
the Clarion County Sheriff's Office!
Once I figured mis out I knew I was
destined for four years of annoyances
and distractions in college.
At this point I have come to a deci-
sion. If I have to be subjected to this
noise for the next four years, I might
as well make the most of it
At home, I was never permitted to
blast my radio, yell, blare my televi-
sion or just be loud, but here, every-
one is loud and the noise level does
not matter.
From now on, I will blast my
stereo, blast my television set yell,
scream and just have a great time
contributing to the ever-growing
noise problem.
This is the ending result mat noise
pollution has had on me. Now I can
relate really well to that old saying,
'If you can't beat them, join them!"

READER RESPONSES
Why is WWF scheduled the same night as the dance concert?
Dear Editor,
While reading the front
page of last weeks Clarion Call. I
learned that the World Wrestling
Federation is scheduled to entertain
Clarion University on Thursday,
December 7, 1995. In Tippin
Gymnasium. Was the athletic
department aware that the opening
night of the University Dance
Concert has been scheduled since
August in the Marwick Boyd Little
Theatre on that same Thursday,
December 7, 1995?
The Dance Concert is
considered a major University event
and I realize that the World Wrest-
ling Federation event will be a large
event as well. This creates a
disturbing question. Why did the
athletic department schedule their
World Wrestling Federation event on
the very same night as the
previously scheduled Dance
Conceit? I do not feel this was very
considerate of the athletic
department. It is aggravating
enough to know that these two
events are on the same night but I
became more upset when I realized
that the athletic department
scheduled the World Wrestling
Federation event one half hour
before the Dance Concert. Since
these buildings (Tippin and
Marwick-Boyd) are in such close
proximity with each other and share
similar parking lots, where is
everyone going to park? Because of
this problem and other reasons, I
believe multiple major university
events should not conflict with each
other. I thought one of the reasons
for publishing our Universities
Activities Calendar is so situations
like this can be avoided.
I consider myself an
understanding person, and I try to
give others the benefit of the doubt
Perhaps Thursday, December 7,
1995 was the only day the World
Wrestling Federation could come to
Clarion.
Then, after consulting my
activities Calendar, I realized that
not one athletic event is being held
on Thursday, December 7, 1995.
I understand that it is
impossible to reschedule this major
athletic event for another night;
however, I would hope that the
athletic department apologizes for
their disregard to the theater
department
Furthermore, I feel that
arrangements should be made so that
parking will be available for both
events, and that the athletic
department will be more considerate
to other organizations in the future.
Sincerely,
Susan J. Bussard

the facts about gays, lesbians, and
bisexuals. I commend her on the
courage it took to vocalize her
feelings, but I also urge her to take a
closer look at the issue without the
religious bias that seemed to pervade
.her letters.
I am the 15 year old,
STEAIGHT daughter of a lesbian.
My mother's sexual orientation has
not negatively influenced her
parenting skills. She is still the same
person she has always been. Her
love for us, the open communication
"Although I do not totally
condone my mother's
lifestyle, I know that it was
not a choice!"
we share, and her ability to
adequately provide for my brothers
and I have remained constant.
Although I do not totally condone
my mother's lifestyle, I know that it
was not a choice! In researching the
subject, I have come to the
conclusion that both nature and
nurture influence one's sexual
orientation.
I also want to address the
issue of religion and homosexuality.
I personally know many
CHRISTIAN gays, lesbians, and
bisexuals. My mother and her
partner are part of that group who
consider spirituality to be of primary
importance. They are raising us in a
Christian home where we are
allowed to attend the church or
churches of our choice, and are
encouraged to do so.
Unfortunately, Ms. Lerch
seems to be overlooking the fact that
many heterosexual individuals also
participate in the sick antics which
she spoke so crudely about in her
letters.
Perversion is not a
characteristic of homosexuality; it is
one aspect of deviance, be it gay or
straight! None of the homosexuals
with whom I am acquainted perform
any of the disgusting, perverted acts
about which Ms. Lerch hopes to
enlighten the community.
I am writing this letter
because my mother is a returning
adult student at Clarion, and I have
been following this issue in the Call .
I also read some of the E-mail
messages on this subject and was
moved with righteous indignation at
the ignorance of a segment of the
population. Ms. Lerch wants us all
to know the "whole story," which
implies truth. Perhaps she should
research human sexuality more
thoroughly to indeed learn the
"whole story." The harmony of truth
cannot be heard above the
dissonance created by ignorant
discrimination.

Questions to help understand the significance of assuming to much
Dear Editor,
This is to Miss Lerch and anyone
who is concerned with having an
open mind:
The following are questions taken
from a Heterosexual Questionnaire
by Martin Rochlin, Ph.D. I received
these interesting questions last year
in a Psychology class. To me, these
questions bring up a good point and
can help others understand the
importance of not assuming too
much of a single community.
This questionnaire reverses the
questions that are often asked of gay
men and lesbians by straight people.
So feel free to answer these
questions for yourself, Miss Lerch,
then maybe you'll finally have some
insight as to how taxing and
discriminatory your frame of
reference can be to homosexuals.
1. What do you think caused
your heterosexuality?
8.
When and how did you first
decide you were a
heterosexual?
Is it possible your
heterosexuality is just a
phase you may grow out of?
Is it possible your
heterosexuality stems from
neurotic fear of others of the
same sex?
If you've never slept with a
person of the same sex, is it
possible that all you need is
a good gay lover?
To whom have you
disclosed your heterosexual
tendencies?
Why do heterosexuals feel
compelled to seduce others
into your own lifestyle?
Why do you insist on
flaunting your
heterosexuality? Can't you
just be what you are and
keep it quiet?
Would you want your
children to be heterosexual,
knowing the problems
they'd face?
10. A disproportionate majority
of child molesters are
heterosexual. Do you
consider it safe to expose
your children to
heterosexual teachers?
11. With all the societal support
marriage receives the
divorce rate is spiraling.
Why are there so few stable
relationships among
heterosexuals?
12. Why do heterosexuals place
so much emphasis on sex?
13. Considering the menace of
overpopulation, how could
the human race survive if
everyone were heterosexual
like you?
Of course, I don't need your answers
for these questions, I am not asking
for personal information, (because I
don't wish to know you personally)
but maybe you'll realize that your
thought process is not complete.
You need to expand, research...
and if you feel that you are still
right explain not blame!!!

Steam line construction is burden to students
Dear Editor
The construction on the
underground steam lines is a large
burden to the students living on
campus, especially to those who are
living in Nair and Wilkinson halls.
Each morning between 7:30 and
8:00 the noise begins.
The loud machinery of the
construction company makes it
nearly impossible for most of the
people in Nair to sleep. Also, it's
not a problem anymore, but for the
first month of school the electricity
and/or hot water were turned off in
Nair hall as a result of the work. On
one occasion during Family Day the
electricity was shut off from 2:00 to
5:30 P.M., even though it was only
supposed to be off until 3:30 P.M.
One more problem caused by this is
the parking.
Due to the closed parking lot it is
exceedingly difficult to find a
parking space near the dorms.
I understand that the construction
company has run into a few
obstacles, such as an abandoned coal
mine that has slowed them down,
but it just seems as though they are
making no progress.
They have had the basketball
courts in front of Nair torn apart for
approximately three to four weeks
now, upsetting a number of people.
Why couldn't this have been done
in the summer when there were less
people on campus and parking
wasn't a problem?
Sincerely,
Jeff S. Greiner

Edinboro students evacuated
EDINBORO - A fire broke out in a trash bin Tuesday, forcing
the evacuation of about 550 students at Edinboro University. No
one was hurt
The fire in Lawrence Towers was deliberately set, said Jeffrey
Mermon St, a state police fire marshal.
"It was on a landing to the roof in a stairwell," Mermon said
about the trash bin. Both the men's and women's sections of the
building were cleared at about 4 ajn. at the university.
State court blocks execution
HARRISBURG - A man who raped, bit, and strangled his
girlfriend was spared execution Tuesday when the state Supreme
Court granted an indefinite delay hours before he was scheduled to
die.
The court, without comment, granted George Edwards Jr.'s
request for a stay of execution in mid-afternoon. Edwards, 36,
formerly of Lake Ariel in Wayne County, had asked for the delay
to allow further appeals in the June 1984 slaying of Debbie
Prislupsky in Lackawanna County.
Police said Prislupsky was killed because she had dropped and
broken some beer bottles. Authorities found 32 bite marks on her
body.
Senate approves gun law change
HARRISBURG - Prompted by complaints from gun dealers
and police, the Senate on Tuesday attempted to refine the state's
new gun law by adopting an amendment designed to clarify its
language and end confusion.
By a 36-9 vote, the Senate adopted a 42-page amendment
crafted by a conference committee of six lawmakers that was
convened to resolve a number of problems with the law.
Under the amendments most significant provision, purchasers
of rifles and shotguns would not undergo a criminal background
check until Jan. 1, 1997. After that date, purchasers of long guns
would be required to submit a written application to the
Pennsylvania State Police for a background check until a
computerized system is in place for instant checks.
Panel OK's tax reform measure
HARRISBURG (AP) - A bill that would allow municipalities,
counties and school districts to implement extensive changes in the
way local taxes are collected was unanimously approved Tuesday
by the Senate Finance Committee.
The legislation also would give taxpayers a bigger voice when
local communities decide which taxes to implement and how high
they should go.
The bill now goes to the full Senate.
Country is failing its moral test
WASHINGTON - The country is foiling its moral test to care
for the poor, America's Catholic bishops declared Tuesday,
blasting both Democrats and Republicans for creating a budget
they said puts politics ahead of needy children and families. The
National Conference of Catholic Bishops also elected a new
president: Cleveland Bishop Anthony M. Pilla, who said after the
vote the church must be a political voice for the poor. In an appeal
to Congress, leaders of the nation's largest church urged rejection
of welfare proposals that would limit family benefits and reduce
eamed-income tax credits for low-income families - part of the big
budget "reconciliation bill."
Letters to
the Editor Cont.
Be thankful for the opportunities and choices you do have
Dear Editor,
I guess you could call this letter
a response to a letter published in
the Nov. 9th issue of the Clarion
Call . Before I even start, I should
make it clear that this is in no way
shape or form a personal attack on
Mr. Le vlculich.
It is only his letter that sparked
this response. He is only voicing his
opinion. He does make some valid
points, but I'd like to show him
another perspective. When I use the
word 'you", I am not necessarily
referring to Mr. Levkulich; I am sure
he's not alone. I have really been
doing a lot of self reflection in the
past few months, and I have decided
that I am a whiner.
I am really trying hard to change
that. Whining is not good. People
hate whiners. It's like its one big
contest to see who has the most tests
in one day. Whoever can whine the
longest wins.
I am very sorry to near that the
cafeteria serves ham barbecue every
other day; make a salad, it's better
for you anyway. I am also very
sorry to hear that you think T.V.- 5
looks like a 'bad episode of
America's Funniest Home Videos.
Get off of your butt and do
something about it.
Don't whine about coffee bars,
did you suggest a better idea? I
guess it's too much to ask for people
to be thankful for the fact that you
are enrolled in a university. I
suppose Clarion was beating down
your doors and forced you at gun
point to attend. Most importantly,
maybe some of the older students
can remind Mr. Levkulich what it
was like before TelReg.
Why don't you just stop and think
about how lucky you are that you
are not living in a box somewhere
waiting for someone to throw you
ham barbecue. Ask someone who
doesn't have a heated cafeteria, and
a roof over their head, and a college
education, and people who care
about them how fun it is. Ask
someone who doesn't have the right
to write a letter that trashes this
entire university. You have managed
to single-handedly offend the
majority of this university and its
staff.
Do you know why? Because you
can. Isn't that great? I am not trying
to sound like a bad Thanksgiving
Day poem, I am merely trying to ask
that WE, that means me too, not take
things for granted. Be happy that we
have any choices and can voice our
opinions. Be happy that you have
your life and your health, and legs to
walk on sidewalks, even if they are
icy. Your life could be a lot worse.
Maybe if we all thought about that,
we would be much happier and quit
all of our whining.
Thankfully,

Riemer Snack Bar is a great service for students
I am writing in response to the
article, "Riemer Snack Bar revamps
cash allowance," printed in the
October 5th issue of The Clarion
Call, I fed that the changes at the
Snack Bar concerning the cash
allowance program are for the better.
The Snack Bar adds an additional
meal selection for students. The
new menu allows the lines to move
faster, which makes eating there
more convenient. I think the Snack
food
Dear Editor,
Upon choosing a school, the one
thing I failed to check out was each
school's menu. In the long run,
however, this choice to ignore
Clarion's buffet style extravaganza
of food has proven detrimental to
my health. Clarion University is not
exactly a four-star eating
establishment, no offense or
anything. In my opinion they get a
negative four stars on that scale.
On a daily basis, our diet choices
consist of the average hamburger
and hot dog dishes, cold meats and
cheeses, French fries, spaghetti, and
salad bar items. Now the spaghetti
sauce is of an unusual brown hue,
and the taste, well, there actually
isn't one. The meats and cheeses,
although very good, sit out all day
uncovered and are served on stale
bread.
Not exactly the most nutritious
way to live, but as if we can actually
do anything about it.
Now, the salad bar is decent, but
give me a break. They don't exactly
give healthy eaters much of a
selection. On a daily basis they give
us the normal salad bar selections of
lettuce, tomatoes, cheeses, other
miscellaneous vegetables, and an
assorted array of different salad
Bar is nice because sometimes the
students get tired of eating at the
dining hall.
The Snack Bar provides foods that
the dining hall does not always offer.
The delivery service that the Snack
Bar provides is also very convenient
Students who live on campus can
have food delivered to their dorm
from the Snack Bar.
This is a nice option if you are
studying and don't want to take die
IS " '*
dressings.
Not to mention the large selection
of different fruits mat they had in the
beginning of the year, which has
recently been reduced to a few
chopped up pieces placed at the end
of each line. Now, I agree that salad
is healthy, but salad everyday gets a
bit boring after a while.
Perhaps a reasonable alternative
menu can be reached by taking a
survey of Clarion University
students. Let the students offer their
own suggestions, because everyone
has their own definition of a healthy
diet. I do know, however, that the
hate and disgust of the current food
time to walk to the Snack Bar. I am
pleased with the changes made at the
Snack Bar, and many others agree
with me.
Students complained and the
manager responded. The student
body says, "thanks!"
Sincerely,
Stephanie Ponish
to my health
situation is almost universal, at least
among my friends.
What can we do about this
culinary disaster? I have offered a
suggestion, but there are other
possible alternatives.
The food Chandler and Gemmell
serves us is not worth that couple
hundred dollars we're forking out
for meal plans. Aren't there any
standards? Why don't they serve for
quantity and quality? I have some
questions that I'd like answered.

tudcnt protests cost newspaper less than $50
DEKALE, DL-Aa attempt by some minority students to pull funds
from the newspaper at Northern Illinois University has cost the publi
cation less than $50.
In October, a group of NIU minority students who were upset over
the Northern Star's lack of coverage of minority issues went into the
school's cashier's office and demanded the refund of a portion of their
student fees
Darryl Jones, one of the protesting students, said the action was
over die paper's "focus on one side of the issue.
Although he maintained there were racial and social issues that
needed to be addressed, Jones said the protest was simply a matter of
economics. "Contributing to the paper makes us consumers," Jones
said M Aa a consumer I'm not satisfied with the product and I want my
money back."
NIU students subsidize the paper by paying six cents per credit
hour far the publication. So far, 70 students have requested their
money back, bringing the total to $49.62.
Despite the refund requests, Leslie Rogers, the editor of the Star.
says she has received strong support from many of her classmates.
"When I'm walking to class, people say, 'Hey, you're doing a good
job, " Rogers said. "We have more minority coverage and stories in the
^gftejnJSlai and we're making a direct effort to see if we need to do
something."
£]K staff members have already participated in a forum to hear the
of students.
Murder puts students in cautious mood
URBAN A Iil.-Students at the University of Illinois are taking precau
tions around campus after a computer programmer was abducted,
raped and strangled on Oct. 31. Maria Gratton's body was found in the
basement of a campus building just hours after she left work. Police
say she was abducted while walking less than two blocks to her parked
car.
"There are a lot of nervous students out here," said Carol
Menaker, a spokesperson for the university.
"Everyone is being cautious, though. Until they find the person who
did this, and even after mat, we're asking students to be very careful."
Menaker says the school has increased patrols of campus build-
ings and walkways by using student volunteers and campus police.
Escorts and rides are also being offered for students as they head home
from evening classes or other campus functions.
"You try not to walk atone, no matter what," said Laura Runyon,
a graduate student who lives in an apartment building three blocks
from campus. There are more people getting rides and taking the bus,
even if it's just two blocks. We can't help it. We're scared."
Runyon says she was a sophomore on campus five years ago when
a female student was fatally stabbed in her apartment while taking a
shower. "People on campus are acting the same way again," she said.
"Everyone's shocked and scared that something so horrible could hap-
pen here. We all feel so vulnerable."
Police say they have no suspects or motives in Gratton's murder.
The 47-year-old victim had a doctorate in mathematics from the
University of Rome. Her husband is a physics professor at the univer
sity.

The CU Student Sonata listened to a presentation on the new master plan that is being set
to begin soon. Dr. Heather Haberaecker and Dr. Joseph Grunenwald addressed the senate
and then took questions and suggestions on how to better serve the student body.

The facilities master plan was
explained at last Monday's
Student Senate meeting.
Dr. Heather Haberaecker, Vice
President of Finance and
Administration, and Dr. Joseph
Grunenwald, Dean of the College
of Business Administration
addressed concerns presented by
the senate, asked for suggestions
and answered questions.
Both presenters are heading the
Facilities Planning Committee,
which is responsible for the pro-
ject.
According to Haberaecker, the
project will be expensive, and
that is one of the reasons that it
will be stretched out over a peri-
od of three years.
This year the main concern at
the land problems facing the
campus.
In the next two years, the plan
will look into making changes on
the issues which students feel
should be addressed.
Parking, crosswalks and resi-
dence halls top the list of con-
cerns.
Currently, the committee is
looking into three consulting
firms to handle the project
one and will meet with the others
by the end of the week.
The plan is hoped to bring
about good relations between the
Clarion community and the uni-
versity, and also help to unify the
two.
During their presentation,
Harberaecker and Grunenwald
stressed the necessity of student
involvement on the committee
and asked the senate how they
could initiate a positive response
to this request

tative to serve on the planning

Distance Education coming soon
By Matt Geesey
News Writer
Distance education involving
the use of interactive television
could possibly be used as a teach-
ing tool in Clarion University
classrooms as early as next
semester.
The program will start off being
used for meetings, non-credit
courses, and maybe credit cours-
es.
Last semester, a demonstration
was done using interactive televi-
sion. A class was held via video
camera between Clarion
University and Slippery Rock
University. Students could watch
the professor on a monitor and
talk to her by using a keypad.
The professor could also view the
class through a similar monitor
and could talk to the students as
she would have done in a tradi-
tional classroom.
According to Dr. Rita
Flanningam, Dean of Graduate
and Extended Studies, the pro-
gram could have the needed tech-
nology in place as early as next
semester. This program will con-
nect both Clarion and Venango
campuses.
The primary applications for
the distance education will be
used for non-credit courses, but
need to receive permission from
the Association of Pennsylvania
State College and University
Faculty (APSCUF) first
The program will also be used
for training workshops for facul-
ty. In the future, distance educa-
tion will be available for both
undergraduate and graduate stud-
ies.
Currently, a grant is providing
the money to cover the costs of
the technology being used for the
basic application. Accumulated
income from other sources will
come later for credit courses once
permission is given.

went on to explain that the pri-
marily Republican Congress will
ctsninue to pursue their budget,
and the President will more than
likely veto it.
On Monday night, President
Clinton vetoed a stopgap spend-
ing measure that would have
postponed any kind of shutdown
until the end of the month.
Clinton said that the veto
occurred because of unacceptable
provisions attached to the bill.
According to a report from a
White House briefing, Mr.
Clinton made accusations toward
the Republicans, saying that they
were putting "ideology ahead of
common sense and shared val-
ues." He went on to explain his
actions by saying that the United
States could not do anything
when under pressure that it
would not do under normal cir-
cumstances in which open
debates could be engaged.
Republican leaders argued
against Mr. Clinton's remarks.
The shutdown is the fifth since
1981 and is expected to be the
most serious.
The interim spending authority
is needed because very few
appropriations bills have passed
the congressional vote. That is
the main reason the temporary
measure was so important to
keep the Federal Government up
and running until such appropria-
tion matters could be resolved.
Washington named "Outstanding Black Achiever"
Courtesy of University
Relations
Dr. Joanne Washington, assis-
tant professor of communication
at Clarion University of
Pennsylvania, was named an
''Outstanding Black Achiever" by
"Black Opinion Magazine." She
received the award during a
recent luncheon ceremony in
Pittsburgh.
"1 was surprised when I heard
about my nomination," says
Washington. "Knowing the type
of person honored in me past, I
feel they must have looked at my
involvement in the university and
the community."
Washington was nominated for
the award which is based on ded-
ication, commitment to excel-
lence, positive role models, and
self pride and integrity, by John
Shropshire, dean of admissions at
Clarion University.
Washington earned a B.A. in
Afro-American studies from
Indiana University, Bloomington,
Indiana, M.Ed. in student person-
nel services from Trenton State
College, Trenton, N.J., and Ph.D.
in instructional systems technolo-

Prior to joining Clarion
University in 1987, Washington
was assistant to the dean in the
office of Afro-American affairs,
assistant to the director of the
Black Culture Center, and public
relations coordinator for the
Afro- American Arts Institute, all
at Indiana University,
Bloomington, Indiana.
"I love teaching," says
Washington. "I fed teaching at

they go out into the world. It can
help to define their contributions
to the community. If I get an
opportunity to impart some of
what I value, such as community
and family values, to them that is
important"
In addition to teaching,
Washington also works with stu-
dents in other capacities. She has
been advisor to Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority and to the Lift
Every Voice Choir, served as a
judge for float competitions, and
has even advised students in her
home when necessary.
At home in Franklin,
Washington works with the
strategic planning committee for
the Franklin Schools and serves
as educational chair for the
Church of United Brethren in
Christ She is also proud of being
involved in a mentoring program
for at risk junior high students.
"These activities give me an
opportunity to be an influence on
someone's life," she says. "It
helps to equip young people to
work in this world and shape how
they will cope with things. I look
at what I do as valuable."

This idea was first mentioned
by the Mayor's Council of
Governments this past summer.
It was later discussed further with
borough manager from the other
13 SSHE communities.
State university communities
have a large amount of non-tax-
able land which proposes a large
problem to the borough. Clarion
itself has $33.3 million worth of
land that is non-taxable, most of
which is the university.
This creates a problem in gen-
erating revenue for the communi-
ty.
Yoho points out that the younger
people do not contribute taxes
but they still benefit from the ser-
vices provided from the Clarion
Borough.
The end result is that it places a
tax burden on the property own-

Democrats support Direct Lending
Courtesy of College Press
Service
WASHINGTON-U.S. Secretary
of Education Richard Riley and
Democratic senators urged
Republican members of
Congress not to send the White
House a budget that severely
reduces or eliminates direct lend-
ing to college students.
Those who propose to end
direct lending are putting the
interests of the middlemen and
special interests above the inter-
ests of students,** said Riley,
reading from a statement made
by President Clinton Nov. 2 at a
Capitol Hill press conference.
"The best solution is for us in
Washington to give schools
across the nation the freedom to
choose the program that works
best for them.
Let's not take the choice away
by Congressional mandate.
"So let me be clear to Congress:
Do not send me a bill mat limits
the ability of schools and stu-
dents to take advantage of direct
lending."
The House and Senate are
expected to conference this week
to hammer out the differences
between the budget reconcilia-
tion bill. Recently, the House
voted to kill direct lending alto-
gether, which would force all
schools and students who are cur-
rently participating in the pro-
gram to revert to a bank-run loan
system.
The Senate imposed a 20 per-
cent cap on lending, which means
that about half the students with
direct loans would have to return
to the old system.
"It will be very, very confusing
and very costly to switch and
make changes from the stream-
lined direct loan system and turn
back to the guaranteed loan sys-
tem," said Senator Paul Simon
(D-II1.). Meanwhile, student lob-
bying groups say they plan to
refocus their efforts from the Hill
to the White House.
"We're asking every student to
call the White House and ask the
president to veto the bill," said
Kellye Mcintoch, field director
of the United States Student
Association (USSA). Under
direct lending, students bypass
banks and lending institutions
and borrow directly from the fed-
eral government through their
campus financial aid office.
Democratic senators at the Nov.
2 press conference said that
direct lending saves taxpayers
billions of dollars while stream-
lining die loan process for stu-
dents.
"Direct loans promote account-
ability, cut wasteful red tape and
improve service to students, and
the competition between the two
programs is healthy," said
Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.),
who added that 160,000 students
in Michigan use direct lending.
Senator Tom Harkin (D Iowa)
lambasted the Republican
Congress for caving in to bank-
ing interests at the expense of
students.
"It's a simple formula: more
money for guaranteed loans
minus direct lending equals more
money for banks and lending
institutions," he said However,
Republicans argue that direct
lending cost taxpayers more and
that default costs may soar under
direct lending.
"Contrary to the administra-
tion's recent claims, direct lend-
ing is a system of delivering stu-
dent loans, not a remedy for col-
lege costs, access to higher edu-
cation or student loan defaults,"
said Lauro Cavazos, former sec-
retary of education.
"Turning the department into
one of the nation's largest banks,
adding hundreds of new employ-
ees to the federal payroll and bil-
lions to our nation's debt is not in
the best interests of students, col-
leges and universities or the
American taxpayer.'*

music of all styles and periods.
However, a distinct feature of the
concert will be the performance
of several authentic English brass
band arrangements brought from
England by conductor Hall.
These rare arrangements are cur-
rently performed by the finest
professional and amateur brass
bands throughout England,
Scotland, Wales, and the

First Mic Check I II Performed
by Bobbi Russell
Lifestyles Editor
If you were in Gemmell on
Saturday night, you probably
heard a wide variety of hip hop
and rap music playing through
the halls. "Mic Check I IT' was
sponsored by WCCB, Phi Beta
Sigma, and Student Senate. This
underground hip bop/rap expo
featured artists from Clarion,
Perm State, Philadelphia and all
points in between. Ruben
Coates, a WCCB dj, coordinated
the show. He felt there was a
need for this type of show on our
campus. Coates stated, The stu-
dents feel slighted, they want to
see underground hip hop."
Coates, who also performed at
the expo, felt that the Coolk) con-
cert was a flop and that it is time
to get some performers that the
students really want to see.
There was a huge turnout for
"Mic Check I II." All of the stu-
dents and the performers were
excited for the show. Thomas
Sligh, a Junior CAIS major and
Director of ASU, said, "I'm look-
ing forward to coming out and
having a good time and getting
my groove on, in a positive way."
Sligh also mentioned that he was
"supporting Ruben and his effort
to make something happen." The
amount of excitement and sup-
port by the audience was great.
Sarah Williams, a sophomore
SCT major, said, "I feel that it is
great that young black men and
women can express themselves
positively through music and also
express their love for their frater-
nitites and sororities." The posi-
tive attitudes of the audience and
the energetic performers added to
the excitement of the show.
Among the groups and individ-
uals who performed were: Two
Can Sing, Eugene Simmons,
Synge, and Satu Divine. The
artists performed their original
material, expressing various tal-
ents and styles. Also performing
from Philadelphia were Dirty
Dozen Productions recording
artists JyHad, The Brothers of
Grimm, and the Secret Society.
These three groups are expected
to release albums next spring.
The crowd loved the perfor-
mances and showed great appre-
ciation and admiration of the tal-
ents of their peers. Many differ-
ent styles and talents were repre-
sented. There was definitely a
positive turnout and interest in
the show. Coates hopes to con-
tinue the show next year. He stat-
ed that he would "like to get Das
EFX, a rap group from New
York" to perform at next year's
expo.
"Mic Check I II" was a huge
success and it gave students an
opportunity to show their talents
and check out other up and com-
ing artists. Thanks and congratu-
lations to Ruben Coates for
putting forth the effort to make
the show happen.

November 16, 1995
Blowgun Champion by Dave Barry
Recently I was in a restaurant-
bar called Taurus, which is in
Coconut Grove, which is one of
the more bizarre sections of
Miami, which is definitely saying
something, and I noticed that
there were a lot of people there
carrying blowguns.
One of the guiding principles in
my life has always been: "Never
hang around with people who
have access to bom mixed drinks
and dart-shooting weapons." But
these people seemed friendly, so I
got to talking to them. It turned
out that they were a balloon
league.
This was the idea of Leonard
King, a professional artist and a
Taurus regular (although, to be
honest, the word "regular" does
not really apply to anybody who
frequents mis establishment).
King is also the man who came
up with the idea of Clown
Racing. The way mat happened
was, he was shopping in a dis-
count store called MacFrugal's,
and he found a battery-powered
toy clown.
The down moved around
erratically," said King. "It was a
bumper-car type of clown. It was
holding a balloon that lit up."
So he purchased 10 of them.
He brought them to Taurus and
staged Clown Racing, wherein
the clowns were let loose on the
table, and people bet on which
one would be the fust to get
through a hoop. This was a big
hit, and it gave King, who is
always thinking, an idea.
"I always wanted a blowgun,"
he said.
So be went to the Gun and
Knife Show at the city of Miami
Convention Center, which — this
being Miami — host a Gun and
Knife Show roughly every three
weeks. There, King purchased
(Why not?) 35 blowguns.
"I knew I could sell them," he
said. And — this being Miami —
he was right Virtually all of the
Taurus regulars wanted one. A
typical example is Dan Ricker, a
businessman, who said: "This
was right after Hurricane
Andrew. All my neighbors were
armed, and all I had was a
machete. So I upgraded to a
blowgun."
Ricker, King, and an eclectic,
co-educational group of a dozen
or so other blowgunners, mostly
over 40, have been competing at
Taurus every other Monday night
for several years now. They set
the targets up against a wall out
front; this means they're blowing
darts only a few feet away from
the sidewalk. But they observe
the rules of safe blowgunning
(Rule No. 1 : Do NOT inhale) and
claim they've never hit anybody.
They use a variety of custom
targets, including, one time, a
pair of those foam heads that are
used to style wigs.
"We had areas of the beads
marked off," explained veteran
blowgunner Corinne Smith.
"You got 10 points for hitting the
eye, and so on. At first people
did really badly, because they
were freaked out about shooting
at body parts. But then every-
body got comfortable with it."
The competition is generally
low-key. Both weeks I was there,
bands were playing in the bar,
competitors, between turns,
would wander inside and dance,
sometimes still holding their
blowguns. They also yell
encouragement to other competi-
tors. At one point, I swear, some-
body yelled: "C'mon, Grimsley!
Put a Robin Hood on that bull!"
This was blowgun lingo: A
"Robin Hood" is when you shoot
a dart into the back of another
dart; a "bull" is a bull's-eye; and
"Grimsley" is a person named
"Grimsley."
On my second visit to the blow-
gun league, I borrowed a gun and
entered the competition. The
blowguns are lightweight tubes
maybe 40 inches long; the darts
are basically long needles with
plastic cones on the back end.
When you blow a quick puff of
air into the tube, the dart goes
zipping out the other end very
fest — PHHHHTTTTT — and
flies straight and true directly
into something other than the tar-
get At least that's what my darts
did. I have zero natural ability at
this sport I am the Elmer Fudd of
blowgunning. There was no
telling where my darts were
going.
GOODYEAR BLIMP PILOT:
Did you feel that?
GOODYEAR BUMP CO-
PILOT: Feel what?
GOODYEAR BUMP: ssssss-
sssssssss
As it became clear how truly
bad I was, I began to receive
coaching from a guy there named
Nick, who took blow gunning —
there's always somebody like this
— seriously. He'd stand off in
the distance, puffing on a ciga-
rette, watching me Spray darts
randomly into the night; then
he'd come up, put his arm on my
shoulder, and give me advice.
"You're jerking!" he'd say,
exhaling smoke directly into my
ear. "You've got to relax! Don't
worry about what the other peo-
ple are saying."
"What are the other people say-
ing?" I asked.
"Don't worry about it" he said.
Nick's advice didn't work. It
was just like when I was in Little
League, and I'd be batting, and
my coach, Mr. Parker, would
yell: "Keep your eye on the ball!"
I'd want to yell back: "No! I'm
busy squinting!" But instead I'd
just keep my mourn shut and
strike out as quickly as possible.
Similarly, I shot my blowgun
darts as fast as I could and retired
to the bar. This turned out to be
an OK strategy, because I would
up with the evening's worst
score, which meant I won the
"Low Blow" award, which meant
I got $5, which is the most I've
ever won in any kind of athletic
competition. In fact, I plan to
compete again, and next time I'll
be using my own blowgun.
Although, in the interest of public
safety, I'm going to skip darts.
Ceramics students participate in wood-firing weekend
CourUsy of Cathy MeCatt
Every fall and spring the ceram-
ic class, under the direction of
Prof. Gary Greenburg (Greeny),
conducts a wood firing at the out-
door kiln. Students put aside
their special ceramic wares to
fire in this unique kiln where spe-
cial flashing from the flames and
wood ash, gives coloring to the
artworks.
The firing is hard work for al
students who begin preparations
for the firing several weeks in
advance and then must work at
least one four hour shift over the
three day firing period. Upper
level students are designated
"kiln bosses" for each shift and
usually spend the entire three
days at the kiln leaving only to
shower when they feel
too'gamey.'
The ceramic education received
from this experience is unsur-
passed, and leads to development
of camaraderie with fellow stu-
dents at Clarion and other univer-
sities. Invitations are sent to
other ceramic programs who
attend with students and work to
share in our wood firing. (We are
fortunate to have a wood kiln at
Clarion as many universities do
not) Last spring attendee's came
from the University of Delaware,
Kutztown University, and
Westminster College. They are
expected again this year along
with others from Saginaw MI and
Notre Dame University.
The last day when the fire
reaches its peak, we enjoy a feast
featuring a huge turkey which
Greeny and Prof. Chaney (from
Kutztown) wrap in foil and clay,
then cook it in the hot coals of
the camp fire. Most of the facul-
ty from the Art Department
attend to partake in the festivities.
When the kiln has finally
cooled four days later, we open
the kiln and remove the artwork.
Like Christmas, anticipation is
high as it is never known exactly
what will be found. Perhaps it
will be a special brilliant flash of
color never seen before, or an ash
bit or blackness eerily placed in
just the right spot on a piece of
ware. Could the kiln Gods and
Goddesses be working overtime.
If the conversation by ceramic
students at wood kiln time seems
boring to you, please bear with
them, and perhaps even envy
them for being ceramic artists
who can fire a wood kiln.

Do you know of an employee who should be recognized for their
efforts in making Clarion University a better place for students?
The University Marketing Committee has established a "Making Life Better at
Clarion" award to recognize employees who go above and beyond to make
Clarion a better place for students. This new recognition is being presented in
the spirit of recognizing someone who is not often thanked publicly for their
contributions.
Nominations for employees to receive a ''Making Life Better at Clarion"
award should be sent to University Relations at the Alumni House. Written
nominations should include the employee's name, work area, and what you feel
they have done special for students.
Honorees will be selected by a sub committee of the marketing committee
comprised of students, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni. Suggestions
for recipients will be welcome from ail sources.
The new recognition, intended as a "thank you" for the work of employees,
will be presented by a member of the President's Executive Council.

Ed and Dave rock your world
by Ed Wargula
Greetings, andwelcome back
as I "Rock Your World." This
week I will be reviewing the lat-
est release from Cabal, the band
formerly known as Weld. I will
be reviewing this one myself,
since Dave is a member of Cabal.
Cabal was formed by Jason
Lahr, guitar and vocals, Dave
Graham, drums, and Bob
Saunders, bass, back in 1993
under the name Flood. They soon
found out that another band was
using the name Flood, so they
changed their name to Weld and
began to write and perform origi-
nal music influenced by such
bands at Helmet, Quicksand, and
Tool. Weld soon gained a sizable
reputation and then recorded a
demo, which also helped them
play original musk, whereas
most bands were content to play
covers. Weld remained original
and, in my opinion, a breath of
fresh air in an otherwise stale
music scene.
Bob left the band in Spring of
1995 and was replaced by Elliot
Lawrence. Elliot's joining the
band revitalized the band who
had been having the usual "musi-
cal differences", mostly between
Jason and Bob. New material was
quickly forthcoming, however
one more obstacle remained. It
was soon discovered that there
was another band called Weld,
not being new to having to
change band names they took on
the moniker Cabal, which is
hopefully what they will be
known as from here on.
Cabal recently entered the stu-
dio to record their second demo,
this being the first under the
name Cabal, which is entitled
"Self lap". "Self lap" contains
six new songs all written by the
members of Cabal.
The tape kicks off with
"Outside Looking In" and con-
tains all the ingredients one
would expect to find in a Cabal
song. A heavy crushing riff,
thanks to Jason's detuned SG
guitar with a bit of a nod toward
the influence of Black Sabbath's
Tony Iommi as well, emotional
lyrics about what is perceived by
me as those who think that col-
lege is one big bar with a twenty-
thousand dollar cover charge.
The song is not about alienation,
because in the words of Henry
Rollins alienation means, "that
you don't even want in". The
lyrics instead convey a message
to rise above this belief and be
your own person.
"Robotussin" while not very
wordy, conveys a strong anti-
drug message. However the riff,
while tuned down, bears quite a
resemblance to Motley Crue's
"Shout At The Devil", I am sure
that this is either quite uninten-
tional or done with tongue firmly
implanted in cheek.
Likewise "Absinthe" has a
strong anti-alcohol message con-
veyed in it, which refers to alco-
hol as "bottled courage" and "a
can of spine". It carries this pow-
erful message to the closing line,
"it suits your fermented mind", as
you may or may not know many
alcoholic beverages are created
through the process of fermenta-
tion. The riff is a crusher as well,
and while I like to enjoy a few
beers, I can see the ideas con-
veyed especially in the lines
Pulp Fiction is better the second time
by Tina Mattkis
Lifestyles Writer
"Pulp Fiction" is done in the
way that only Quentin Tarantino
could do a movie. Small cameo
appearances by famous acton
and disjointed time lines are his
forte and a style be has perfected.
"Pulp Fiction" did fairly well in
the theater and has just been
released on video.
Telling a shortened version of
the movie would be feeble, one
might as well just go see it
There are many plots, and some-
how, in Tarantino's little magical
way, he figures out bow to tie
them all in with each other. He is
absolutely amazing as a film
maker, but as an actor, he should
just stop. He was bad as Mr.
Brown in "Reservoir Dogs," and
as Jimmy in "Pulp Fiction," he is
no better. But, don't let that dis-
courage you from seeing the film.
I went to see the movie early
this summer and found that I was
disappointed a bit Many people
had told me it was ten times bet-
ter than "Natural Bom Killers,"
which I completely adored. But,
"Pulp Fiction" did not live up to
those high expectations. Not
only that, but the theater seats
were uncomfortable and my seat
was at a bad angle to the screen.
By the middle of the movie, my
eyes hurt, I was grumpy, and
everything was irking me and
driving me insane. I came away
from the movie glad, because it
only cost me three dollars at the
super saver movie theater I went
to, but also wanting to find the
people who told me it was better
than "Natural Bom Killers" and
km them.
I thought "Pulp Fiction" was
okay, but not as great as the other
people thought This got me into
many arguments this summer. I
could, however, find good things
about it. Samuel L. Jackson was
incredible , as where other great
performances from Uma
Thurman, (who I never knew
how ugly she could be until her
character OD'd) Eric Stoltz, and
Christopher Walken. It's also fun
for me to see the actors that
always show up in Tarantino
films in a different roles. I also
admire Tarantino's style of film
making. But after I saw "Pulp
Fiction" in the theater, I said that
I never wanted to see it again.
So, a few weeks ago, my friend
rented it on video. I decided to
give it another chance. I have to
say that seeing it a second time
really helped me understand it a
lot better. The movie was so
chaotic it just confused me the
first time. But watching it again
cleared everything up. I can hon-
estly say that now I love "Pulp
Fiction".
"Pulp Fiction" is an awesome
movie, but one must watch it
with an open mind. If you don't
get it the first time, see it again.
Then, if you still hate if after
watching it twice, I guess you
should just forget about ever lik-
ing it But I think you should
give it a try.
referring to the "bottled
courage", which more often than
not is the moron who drinks too
much and wants to fight every-
body.
"Upwardly Mobile", starts out
slow with some fine bass work
from Elliot and then goes into a
heavy riff which can get a bit
repetitive. Otherwise it is a good
song, but it has two things which
seem to be contradictory, the
intro is one of my favorite
moments on the tape, but this is
my least favorite song on the
tape. Go figure, maybe if it went
back to the part I like so well,
which would be the part that
Beavis and Butt-head would say
sucks, and break it up a little
before going back into what
Beavis and Butt-head would refer
to as the cool pan, then I guess I
watch too much T.V.
"Unto Me" comes about as
close to a love song as Cabal can
get which describes the bitter
end of betrayal and coping with
such feelings, a great riff too.
The tape concludes with "Pig"
and it is basically a crushing
number about those who think
they are what they are not The
riff is good and the lyrics song,
there are certain people I know
who should take a close listen to
this, because I see these people
portrayed in the lyrics.
All in all "Self Tap" is a fine
effort from a band who can con-
vey powerful, emotional lyrics
without sounding preachy. Check
it out and be sure to check Cabal
out live as they are usually play-
ing somewhere in the Clarion
area. For more information and

This past weekend on Friday and Saturday, November 10 and 11, in the Gemmcll Student Center, was the 1995 PA SSHE
Greek Leadership Conference.
This conference was organized by the State System of Higher Greek Advisory Board, which is composed of Greek Advisors
from the 14 SSHE universities.
The purpose of the conference was to educate the officers of campus Greek councils and chapters on issues pertinent to the
Greek system; enhance leadership skill development; and provide a forum for open discussion and networking opportunities.
There were registration Fees of $5 per person for Clarion University Greeks, $10 per person for SSHE Greeks and $15 per
person for non-SSHE Greeks. This fee included the Activities on Friday evening, including an open, non-alcoholic mixer at
the Theta Xi house, after the on-campus entertainment, a Saturday continental breakfasL lunch, and conference materials.
The main events on Saturday included the keynote address by Mr. Michael Gordon, the Executive Director of the NPHC,
which was free of charge to attend, and Educational Sessions Blocks I, II, and III.
These sessions included discussion of community service projects, leadership skill training, the Greek Judicial Board, rush,
fund raising, an anti-hazing workshop, and other important information for those who attended.
Students from around the state attended the conference, and resided at the Days Inn, Comfort Inn, and Super 8 Motels.
They were encouraged to wear their greek letters on sweatshirts and other articles of clothing to the events on Friday evening
letting other Greeks see the variety of fraternities and sororities attending.
There was an approximate turnout of 200 Greeks from the 14 SSHE schools, and people were pleased with the outcome of
the conference in general.
Since the conferences started in 1982, this is the second time Clarion University hosted the Greek Leadership Conference,
the first time being 1988.

A lot of excitement will be in
the air this season when the
Clarion University Golden Eagle
wrestling team takes to the mats.
The team opens its season on
Sunday November 26th with a
3:30 pm match in the Tropin
Gymnasium against Lehigh
University.
"This team on the mat this sea-
son could be as good as we've
had in years," stated head coach
Jack Davis.
"We have a very, very talented
team with experienced upper
class leaders," he added.
"Barring injuries, we could have
a balanced lineup, which is
always helpful in dual meets,"
Davis furthured.
The tentative lineup has
Sheldon Thomas starting at 118
pounds.
Bob Crawford is the favorite at
126 pounds, but will be chal-
lenged by talented freshman
Mark Angle and Jamie Azzatto.
At 134 pounds, transfer from
Oklahoma State John Martin is
the starter.
Even though Tom Tomeo is
ranked 8th in the country at 134
pounds, Tomeo will make the
jump to 142 pounds.
Tomeo is the clear favorite, but
will be challenged by Stan Spoor,
Joe Solomon, and Doug Himes.
The favorite at 150 pounds is
Jody Clark. Clark will be chal-
lenged by TJ. Carbaugh.
Ken Porter, a transfer from Cal
of PA will start at 158 pounds.
Paul Antonio gets the call at
167 pounds.
Joel Gilbert will go at 177
pounds.
Bryan Stout will be the 190
pounder, and Darren Jarina is
favored to start at heavyweight,
although he will be challenged by
Doug WivelL
Thomas had a record of 31-5
last year, including a 5th place
finish at Nationals making him
an AU-American for the first
time. Thomas also captured 1st
place in the Las Vegas tourna-
ment last year.
Thomas is ranked #2 in the pre-
season rankings. "Rankings
don't mean a whole lot. The sea-
son is draining, and personally I
think I can win nationals. It's just
a matter of staying healthy and
peaking at the right time. I would
like to have an undefeated sea-
son, and I'll take a #12 ranking as
long as I end up #1," Thomas
reflected.
In regards to the team Thomas
was very excited and comment-
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call
Clarion travel* to the Las Vegas Tournament December 1-2
ed,"We are very talented team,
and everyone is real close, pro-
viding depth and without
injuries, we will be a very tough
team to beat."
At 126, Bob Crawford was 10-
last year until he went out with
a medical redshirt Crawfords
1994 record was 25-5. Angle had
a 35-0 record in high school last
year, and was 148-3 overall in his
career.
At 134, John Martin had a
record of 14-2 last year. Martin
has placed 4th and 5th the last
two years at the Las Vegas tour-
nament. Martin should provide
quality depth that the Golden
Eagles need.
At 142, Tom Tomeo had a
record of 31-8 last year. Tomeo
placed 5th in 1994 at the Las
Vegas Open, won the Wilkes
Open, and finished 2nd atEWL's.
"Wherever I wrestle, I want to
wrestle strong without having to
lose too much weight. I got a
taste of Nationals last year, and I
was watching the Finals and I
said to myself that is where I
want to be next year," Tomeo
stated.
"The team will be very good
this year and I'm excited to be a
part of it. We have 7 wrestlers
with National experience, and we
work together well. Everyone
has the winning desire," Tomeo
added
Jody Clark wrestled his way to
a 10-8 record last year, and
should get the nod at 150 pounds
this year.
Clark finished 3rd at EWL's
and was a National qualifier.
Transfer Ken Porter will start at
158 pounds this year. Porter had
a 5-1 record last year before a
redshirt
Porter was an NCAA qualifier
in 1994 with a record of 24-10.
Veteran Paul Antonio returns at
167 pounds. Antonio had a
record of 21-13 last year.
Antonio finished 4th at Las
Vegas, 4th at EWL's, and 2nd at
PSAC's last year.
At 177 pounds, Joel Gilbert had
a record of 8-13 last year. Gilbert
finished 4th at EWL's last season.

nationals in 1994, and fourth last
year. Stout is ranked #1 this year
in the pre-season rankings.
Stout had a record of 29-6 last
year and is encouraged about his
ranking. "It's nice to look at but
it doesn't guarantee me a
National Title," Stout comment-
ed.
"I want to win the whole tour-
nament and as you are sitting on
top you are just waiting for some-
one to knock you off. The higher
ranked you are, the easier time
you'll have to get to the finals. I
have the ability to do it it's just a
matter of me staying mentally
and physically healthy," Stout
added.
"There are a lot of different per-
sonalities on this team. There are
a lot of experienced wrestlers,
and everyone works smooth
together. There is a lot of talent
on this team, he added."
Rounding out the squad will
probably be Darren Jarina at
heavyweight He was the Ohio
State Champion in 1994 and
looks to contribute this season.
Depth and injuries will be keys
to Clarion's season this year.
"You can't write the season on
paper, it has to be done on the
mat We need to stay healthy and
continue to improve every day.
We need to be on top of our game
both physically and mentally,"
coach Davis stated.
"We always schedule a strong
schedule with tough competition,
that gives us the competition we
need. We train as hard as any
team in the U.S.," Davis added.
Following the Lehigh match,
the Golden Eagles travel to the
Las Vegas Tournament on

The Best Seat in the House
by Scott Feldmmn
Sports Writer
After two-weeks on the journal-
ists injured reserve list I would
like to start by asking who in the
world is the designer for some of
the uniforms in the NBA.
Whoever, or whatever is the
case, has designed some of the
ugliest items of clothing known
to man. The fans in both
Cleveland and Houston probably
need their eyes checked and we
are only a couple of weeks in to
the season.
But there is a certain catch to
this new trend of repulsive cloth-
ing in the league, not only do you
have to wear these in front of
thousands of fans but also seems
that your team has to play on a
court that is equally as hideous.
Somebody needs to do something
before the teams in the league
look like a group of clowns
instead of athletes.
All of you who were ready to
call the 49ers dead and attend
their funeral better not get the all
black outfits out of the closet yet.
The 49ers destroyed the
Cowboys last week in what bad
to remind us of last year's NFC
Championship game. The score
was 17-0 before most people
could get to the kitchen and get
something to drink.
San Francisco proved that the
road to the Super Bowl still has
to go through Candlestick Park
by dominating Dallas in every
aspect of the game.
The improved play of much
maligned QB Elvis Grbac gave
All-Pro Steve Young another
week to rest as his 81 yard touch-
down pass to Jerry Rice on the
first series set the tone for anoth-
er blowout and sent the Cowboys
reeling for the locker room to fig-
ure out what in the world went
wrong. Well let me tell you what
went wrong to the most arrogant
team in the NFL.
Their overconfidence finally
caught up to them and San
Francisco did what most teams
will start to do, throw away from
Deion Sanders. Sanders can't be
everywhere on the field at one
time and the 49ers proved it by
throwing under the coverage
leaving the linebackers of the
Cowboys to guard the explosive
receiving core of the 49ers.
Another crucial blow to the
Cowboys came when Troy
Aikman went down with an
injury early in the first quarter.
But it didn't really matter as
Moses himself couldn't have
brought the Cowboys back from
that early disaster.
The 49ers must now keep the
pressure on the Cowboys as they
travel to play the struggling
Miami Dolphins next week.
If you are the Cowboys, you
must be able to bounce back like
a champion and with the expect-
ed return of Aikman this should-
n't be a problem.
Michael Jordan is back and now
that he is in basketball shape
again, nobody in the league
seems to be able to stop him.
Jordan has proved to his critics
that he was correct in his return
to the league.
Old number 23 has been up to
his old tricks and he and the Bulls
t have jumped out to a good start.
Bad news for the Bulls comes in
the form of Dennis Rodman.
No, Rodman is not up to his
usual tricks of showing up late
for practice, if at all, or even tak-
ing his shoes off during the team
timeout.
Rodman is actually, hold your
breath please, injured. The fruit-
loop that he is injured his calf and
could be out up to four weeks.
The Bulls just have to be happy
that Rodman hasn't decided to
skip town and bear the child of
Madonna.
But the Bulls do need to watch
out as Rodman needs to be rest-
ing his calf.
But knowing "The Worm," he
will be out on one late night gal i-
vanting at places that are only
mentioned in a whisper.
Hopefully though, Rodman will
bounce back, not around, and
Sports Trivia Question
Who is the last Pittsburgh Steeier Wide
Receiver to have 1,000 yards receiving in
a single season?
Answer to last week's question:
Kurt Angle and Bob Bubb.
Congratulations to Patty Ringler on correctly
answering the question winning 2 WWF tickets.
continue to give Jordan and Co.
the rebounding and flair that they
need.
Due to the fact of my two week
layoff, I have not gotten to com-
ment on the Browns move to
Baltimore, and of course as
everyone knows, I like to com-
ment on everything.
The Browns move may be one
of the most ridiculous things this
writer has ever seen.
The move is what is wrong with
sports today. Money rules every-
thing and unless something is
done, the Steelers rivals will be
teams from Baltimore and
ii'ifflllll
Nashville. What's next
Shippenville Strikers.
But I need to ask one question,
if the city of Baltimore is such a
great place to put an NFL fran-
chise, then why in the world did
the Colts move years back?
The city of Cleveland supported
their team to the full extent and
for them to lose the Browns is a
huge mistake.
But now there is talk on all sorts
of NFL teams moving to different
cities because the cities they are
in now won't give them more
money, or build them a new sta-
dium.
I wish the owners would quit
their crying and show some loy-
alty to their teams and cities.
Earlier in this column I was won-
dering about the uniforms of the
NBA.
Well, the Browns better not
change their colors as they are
playing similar to something else
that is related to the color brown!
I'm only stopping here to start
mailing out crying towels to all
of the Ohio State fans. Face it
Nebraska and Florida will end up
undefeated and your team will
end up Number 2 in the nation.

Golden Eagle football concludes season at 6-4
by Kraig Kothck
Sports Editor
This past Saturday, the Clarion
Golden Eagle football team
ended its season with a 28-6 loss
to #8 Edinboro.
The Golden Eagles closed the
season with three straight losses
to Slippery Rock 41-17, IUP 14-
9, and Edinboro 28-6.
The Golden Eagles finished the
year with a 64 mark. Clarion
had a tot more success this year
than most people thought going
into the 1995 campaign.
Clarion was picked to finish
near the bottom of me PSAC-
West, and finish with a losing
record.
This team with basically no
depth at all stepped up to the
challeneges that it faced, and to
come away with a winning
record is a tribute to head coach
Males Luke, the assistant coach-
es, and all of the players.
It takes a total team effort for a
team to be successful, and that is
exactly what the Goklen Eagles
achieved this year.
Minus a few breaks, this team
very easily could have gone 8-2,
and next year the Golden Eagles
will be a force to reckon with in
(he PSAC-West.
On offense, Center John Smith,
and reserve linemen Roy
Bowerman are the only losses,
and when Smith went down to
injuries this season, Pete Pirone
stepped in and did an admirable
job.
Pirone will more than likely
inherit the starting center job for
next year.
On defense corners Ric Giles,
Pat Span, and defensive linemen
Joe Morlacci will be lost to grad-
uation.
Chad Wissner and a few others
will be counted on to replace the
comers, but Morlacci will be
hard to replace.
It can clearly be seen that coach
Luke will have the core of his
team returning next season and
possibly look to challenge
Edinboro and IUP for the PSAC-
West crown.
Clarion's offense was strong
this year as the Golden Eagles
outscored their opponents 281-
211. The Eagles also out gained
opponents in total offense 4137-
3667.
Ail-American Steve Witte led
the way on offense leading the
team in both rushing and receiv-
ing. Witte gained 771 yards on
130 attempts for an average of
S.8 yards per carry and 75.3
yards per game on the ground.
Witte had 13 rushing TD's.
Witte also caught a team-leading
50 passes for 629 yards and 2
TD's. Wine also led the team in
scoring with 90 points.
Ron Dejidas carried the ball
106 times for 518 yards and 3
TD's. Dejidas also caught 7
passes for 75 yards.
Godfrey Bethea carried the ball
49 times for 205 yards and 3
TD's. Bethea caught 20 passes
for 207 yards and 1TD.
Quarterback Chris Weibel com-
pleted 159 of 268 passes for 2017
yards.
Weibel bad 14 TD passes and 9
interceptions. Weibel also ran
the ball 83 times for 273 yards,
but only 116 net yards and 1 TD.
Chris Skultety caught 42 pass-
es for 619 yards and 6 TD's.
Skultety averaged 61.9 yards per
game.
Newcomer Alvin Slaughter cre-
ated a tot of excitement catching
38 passes for 485 yards and 3

TD's. Slaughter also led the team
in kickoff returns with 18 for 454
yards, averaging 25.2 yards per
return.
Mark Witte caught 25 passes
for 280 yards and 3 TD's. Tight
end Chad Speakman caught 4
passes for 102 yards, and Derek
Mackay caught 1 pass for 1 yard.
Kicker Tyler Patisin finished
the season with 47 points. Palisin
was 23 of 30 on extra point
attempts, and a perfect 8 of 8 on
field goals.
Punter Keith O'Connor had 49
punts for 1663 yards for an aver-
age of 33.9 with a long of 52
yards.
On defense, Ail-American free
safety Kim Niedbala led the way
with 117 tackles. Niedbala also
had 4 fumbles caused, 9 passes
broken up, and led the team with
5 interceptions.

Clarion number one for increase in enrollment
by Matt Geesey
News Editor Elect
Recently, Clarion has been
ranked number one among the
State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) schools in the
area of largest percentage
increase in enrollment. This is
the result of a tremendous
amount of effort by the
admission's staff this year.
According to the final head
count report of all 14 SSHE
schools, Clarion has 5,860 full-
time and part-time students. This
includes both undergraduate and
graduate students. Last year at
this time, Clarion had an
enrollment of 5,637 full-time and
part-time students. This is a four
percent change from last year to
this year.
Other state schools have had
little enrollment increases or
drastic enrollment declines.
Dr. John Kuhn, Provost and
Academic Vice-President, feels
the increase is a result of a
tremendous effort made by the
university and the community to
help recruit fust year students.
He co-ordinates his reasons into
three main points; marketing
efforts, more efforts by
admissions staff and faculty
letters to potential students.
The marketing efforts used by
the admission staff combined the
use of video commercials and
pamphlets sent out to incoming
freshmen to show that person
what Clarion University has to
offer. The efforts by the
admissions staff included more
campus visits by high school
students and more campus tours.
They also provided more time
for potential students' concerns.
The faculty also put more
effort into this increase due to
more faculty letters to potential
students. More professors were
available for interviews on
Friday campus visits. An
enrollment management
committee was also formed over
the summer to help make
enrollment more efficient.
The percentage increase should
generate $900,000 in additional
revenues.
Kuhn added, " my hope is that
the enthusiasm of continued
efforts of admissions and faculty
will attract as fine a class as wc
welcomed this fall."

You know, sometimes it feels like
I've been here for a hell of a long
time. Maybe it's because of all the
friends that I've seen come and go,
maybe it's all the classes I've taken,
maybe it's stress or exhaustion or
just that nagging angst that goes
with spending a lot of time in the
same place.
Actually, it's probably because
I've been here for a hell of a long

side, Tel-Reg was a futuristic
dream, and Harvey Hall was the hub
of campus activity. Ask any of my
peers, those few who remain, and
they will verify what I have said.
But look around you today, dear
reader! There is a nice new student
center, an easier registration
process, and nearly two dozen stu-
dent parking places! Bully for
progress!
Now, there is much talk of con-
structing a new recreation center.
That's great. I wish that I could be
here to enjoy it with you, but alas!
I'm graduating! I must confess to
you, my friends, that graduation is a
frightening prospect. I've spent the
best years of my life here, in the
"ivory tower", but check-out time is
here and the maids are coming
round to toss me out.
Before I leave, however, I'd like to
try something which I usually
avoid: the giving of advice. The
only one who ever listens to my
advice is me, and I'm usually
wrong. In this situation, though, I'm
completely right. So listen up.
Being in college is a lot of fun, but
it is also a lot of work. The people
you see who spend half their time
sucking on a beer bottle and the
other half hunched over the toilet
may be having a hell of a good time
(well, at least half of the time), but
in five or ten years they will be
doing exactly what they are doing
now: namely, nothing of value.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying
you shouldn't have any fun. God
knows I have, probably more than
my share.
During my time at Clarion, I've
run with Marines on Parris Island,
parlayed with politicians in D.C.,
driven the university's station
wagon at ludicrous speeds on major
highways, and been horribly wasted
at conventions in New York, Dallas,
Chicago, and a host of other cities.
I once got so wasted on Beefeater
gin that I puked on the steps of the
World Bank. I'd tell you some more
specific stuff, but it would take a
while, and in many instances the
statute of limitations has not yet run
out.
So go on out there and raise hell,
but don't forget why you are really
here: to learn. Don't just memorize
enough crap to get past the exam
and then forget it I mean actually
learn something. Pay attention. That
professor standing at the front of the
class isn't just talking to hear the
sound of their voice. They have
something valuable to tell you, and
if you have at least as much brains
as a jar of Miracle Whip, you'll lis-
ten. I hate to sink to the level of tired
platitudes, but keep in mind that
your education doesn't stop at the
classroom door.
Get out there and do something.
Take what you learn in your classes
and apply it to your life. Trust me, it
works. Play a sport, join a club. If
you're demented, go work for the
Clarion Call. Uncle Art will be glad
to have you there, and will spend
upwards of an hour telling you that.
A lot of people speak badly of
Clarion University, including a lot
of people who attend it, but they are
sadly mistaken.
Your education, your life, is what
you make of it It doesn't matter a
bit whether you go to Clarion or to
Oxford. College is an opportunity
for you to write your own ticket,
and my advice is to scribble as
much stuff on it as you can.
It is customary for graduating
seniors, when writing a piece for
Hide Park, to thank some of the
people who have had an effect on
their lives. Space and time con-
straints, however, keep me from
mentioning everybody. The list I
will give you is by no means com-
prehensive, and to those whose
names have been omitted, I am truly
very sorry.
Some people I would like to thank
include: Dr. Ngo Dinh Tu, whose
intelligence and genuine humility
should be an example for us all; Mr.
Leonard Pfaff, who taught me that
images are more than just pictures.
Dr. John Bodob, whose passion
for the subject he taught helped
bring it to life; Dr. Ed Duffy, who
made the history of the past interest-
ing and exciting in the present (my
M. A. will be in History);Dr. Ron
Shumaker, who showed me that
writing involves a lot more than just
putting pen to paper; and other pro-
fessors too numerous to mention.
Also, I would like to mention Deb
Huffman and Michelle Sporer. East
8th Ave. was a lot of fun.-Rodney
Sherman and Alan Vaughn, my fel-
low members of the National
Affairs Staff. Inauguration '97 is
just around the corner! -Dave
Bamer, Lou Berlingeri, Dave
Calderone, Mike Dominick, Jerry
Ferraro, Jeff Reed, and Todd Walsh,
whose friendship I appreciate and
whose houses I basically live
at.Arthur Hammurabbai Barlow, a
fine professor and a true friend.
Everyone who has ever worked at
the Call . These people break then-
necks in order to give this campus a
quality newspaper, and never get the
credit they deserve.
Finally, me, for surviving many
years at Clarion and coming away
from it a better person.
READER RESPONSES
Students should be aware of the inequities of Native Americans
Dear Editor,
Imagine how someone like
Reverend Jesse Jackson, leader of
the Rainbow Coalition, or Bob
Dole, Senate majority leader, or
Bill Cowher, Steeler's head coach,
would be treated if they came to
Clarion University to give a speech
about the respective roles they p'ay.
I dare to speculate that the staff
and administration of this^
University would put forth every
effort to make them feel welcomed
and to insure they would never
forget this place. On Tuesday,
November 7th Clarion University
had the privilege to hear Dennis
Banks speak his mind.
To most Native Americans, and
non-natives, he is held in the same
regards as a reverend, a powerful
republican, or a head football coach
from Blitzburg. Dennis Banks was
a co-founder of AIM (American
Indian Movement) in 1968, led
several powerful demonstrations in
his youth during the 70's, and
continues to organize national
activities about Native American
rights and awareness. So why was
Dennis Banks, a great minority
leader of our time, not given the
best treatment we could offer?
The reason I bring this to the
attention of the student body is
because you need to be aware of
the inequity of Native American
rights which continues in your
backyard in 1995.
The continuing struggle of First
Nation people is not confined to
history books and museums.
Contrary to popular thought,
reservations were not a final
decision that appeased everyone.
Nobody enjoys being a slave,
especially on their own land.
The Martin Luther King Jr.
Committee did a wonderful thing
by bringing Dennis Banks to
Clarion University. However, a
joint effort with the Native
American Student Tribal Council
(NASTC) would have resulted in a
more productive outcome.
Perhaps if that was the case.
Dennis could have been given time
on a computer (which he
requested), or not eaten dinner
alone at the Holiday Inn (which no
one should do).
After all this, it was pleasing to
see the number of people that
turned out to hear him speak.
For those of you that were not
there, let's just say Dennis Banks's
audience was enough to give
Coolio's attendance a run for its
money. There was not an empty
chair, or floor space, in Hart-
Chapel It was good to see his
words fall on so many ears.
The Native American Student
Tribal Council is here. Native
Americans of any blood
percentage, education majors, or
anyone with interest or questions
that are on campus. Please FEEL
FREE to contact or join The
Council.
The Council welcomes everyone
and openly invites, and hopes, that
if organizations or people do
something regarding Native
Americans, give the respect of at
least informing The Council.

"I'm embarrassed when I go to an away game and the band attends"
Dear Editor,
I'm writing in response to the
recent letters on respecting the
university Marching Band. My
following comments will probably
offend many people, but they are
words that I've wanted to express
for many years.
I'm a sophomore that has now
been around the Marching Band for*~*"i
over a year now, and you know
what, I'm very disappointed. I don't
understand how you expect to get
respect for a band that is not even
half the size of my high school's
marching band. To tell you the truth,
I'm embarrassed when I go to an
"It is quite annoying when the
band is playing and we are
trying to run our plays,
.Jesse Irvin
away game and they attend. For
example, at the recent I.U.R game,
the band played continuously, and
though I was basically next to them,
I could hear I.U.P's band a lot more.
Now I'd like to talk about the
recent ripping on Mr. Carlson. I
agree, maybe he should not have
used vulgar language, but he was not
out of line when he forced the band
from the field. First of all, the band
would not even be around if it
wasn't for football, basketball and
the other sports on campus. Second,
if they complain about having to
play their songs too fast, then maybe
they shouldn't play as many. I know
that maybe not as many people
would attend the game if it wasn't
for the band, but that's another
problem we have on campus and it's
a whole other story.
Speaking as an ex-football player,
it is quite annoying when the band is
playing and wa are trying to run our
plays, so if there isn't a rule about
playing during that time, then there
definitely should be. One other thing
that bothered me as a player, was
when we would be losing by several
points, with no chance of coming
back, the band would continuously
play happy songs, including our
fight song. One hint: Players don't
want to hear that when they're
getting destroyed, and like I said, the
band is there for the players.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but
these words are the facts and bad to
be said. I do enjoy hearing the band
at the games, but they just need to
remember that they are there
because of the football team, so they
should follow the team's rules.
Thank you for your time, and please
take into consideration what I have
said.
Sincerely,
Jesse Irvin
An annoyed fan!
"Does it make me a bad parent to expose my son to music diversity"
Dear Editor,
In the Nov. 9th issue of the Call
you printed a letter from someone
who stated that the Coolio concert
was inappropriate for school age
children. I am a parent of two
children, ages 10 and 12. My 12
year old, myself and two of his 12
year old friends did attend that
concert (one of which did look 7).
My son requested that he be able to
go see Coolio (who he listens to
daily), and I agreed to go as
chaperone.
I ask Ms. Goodge, does this make
me a bad parent to want to expose
my son to music diversity? Does
my chaperoning three, 12 year old
boys make me a bad parent? I say
no, the language that they heard is
no different than what they hear at
school or on the school bus,
anywhere!
I think that the fact that I attended
with these children so that I can
listen to and see what they are
hearing makes me the exact
opposite. It opens the
communication lines between parent
and child by including each other in
their lives. It also gives the parent
an opportunity to monitor what they
are hearing and seeing and
discussing the moral issues of the
content together, with our children.
Should we keep our children
locked in our homes daily or should
we let them view a different aspect
of society and reinforce the rights as
well as explain the wrongs as we
go? If we shield our children from
life, will they be fully prepared to be
on their own and make the right
choices as young adults if we do not
teach them how to think for
themselves? No! I have seen
firsthand the "out of control"
freshman and other young adults
that have been so protected from life
that when they finally experience
life, they make a lot of wrong
choices.
I would much rather expose my
children to the world when I will be
there to monitor all they see and
hear. Had mere been blatant sex acts
performed or drugs taken during this
program we would have left
immediately, and each parent would
have discussed the rights and
wrongs of the situation with each
child!
I am not saying that I am a perfect
parent or that I have perfect
children, however, I do have
confidence in my children to think
for themselves and to make choices,
the right choices!
Let me say to Ms. Goodge, that
my son is being brought up with a
high moral standard, and is an honor
student at Clarion-Limestone school,
because we make it a point to
monitor what he is doing by doing
these things together. This in turn
helps keep communication lines
open between parent and child.
I ask Ms. Goodge: Why attack the
UAB for providing entertainment for
the university students as well as the
community? Last I checked this was
a free country in which each person
has choices! As long as we are
teaching our children to make the
right choices, with direction and
guidance.
I do appreciate Ms. Goodge's
caring for the welfare of the children
of society today, and wondering why
a parent let their children attend this
concert. However, I did feel the
need to defend myself and my
parenting ideas. I hope in some way
that this letter has helped Ms.
Goodge and others understand the
way this parent thinks.
Sincerely,
Allison Thompson, Corsica

Preate sentencing set next week
Former Attorney General Ernie Preate Jr. is scheduled to be
sentenced for mail fraud Dec. 14, a federal court clerk said
Tuesday.
A mail fraud conviction carries a possible penalty of five years in
prison, but Preate's lawyers, the U.S. Attorney's Office and federal
probation officials have made separate recommendations for less
time.
Preate has suggested a sentence of six to 12 months. U.S.
Attorney David Barasch recommended 21 to 27 months and the
probation office proposed 10 to 16 months.

Panel hears more on Whitewater
Fearing the Clinton administration might interfere in
Whitewater-related probe, an FBI agent warned his superiors back
in Washington about a rumored effort to kill the investigation, a
Senate hearing was told Tuesday.
Agent Steven Irons testified he as informed by an assistant U.S.
attorney in Little Rock, Ark., that local lawyer Richard Mays had
gone to Washington in August 1993 "to meet with unknown
officials to attempt to have the investigation quashed."
Irons outlined the information in an August 1993 memo and
repeated it to the Senate Whitewater Committee.
Seafood safety rules finalized
The government has finalized regulations that it hopes will
prevent up to 60,000 seafood poisonings a year by forcing seafood
processors to ensure they're selling fresh, clean fish.
The Food and Drug Administration regulations require seafood
processors to identify in advance places where their products can
by tainted - including ensuring they don't buy spoiled fish on the
docks - and put into place procedures to catch bad seafood before
anyone eats it.
But consumer advocates criticize the rules, noting the FDA
exempted fishing boats and grocery stores from the oversight and
doesn't plan to increase seafood inspections to make sure the rules
are followed.
Military gays policy under scrutiny
The Clinton's administration's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on

take the chance of having our
personal property stolen, even our
student IDs. The issue with the ID's
is the one I am most worried about,
there has to be a better way of
leaving our IDs at the desk.
Right now all you do is drop your
ID on the top of the desk and sign in.
Anyone that walks by the front of the
desk can pick up any ID and leave.
There needs to be a different way that
we can leave our IDs, this way is not
very safe.
If we could just show our ID to get
in and not have to leave it, or give it
right to the person working the desk,
and when we leave they have to get it
for us. These are some things that
would prevent our IDs from being
stolen.
These are just a couple little
suggestions that would help make the
weight rooms safer, and more
convenient. This is an issue that
should not be taken lightly.
It is a very serious problem that can
be solved easily. Students need to be
able to feel safe when using the
facilities that are available to them.

'Bah-Humbug' from CUP Residence Halls
Dear Editor,
For those that can, lets go back
thirty years at CUP. It's a couple of
days before Christmas vacation and
everyone is busy decorating. This is
when you get to express your
creative side with your roommate, so
you can win the decorating contest.
There were notices to encourage
students to shoot their festive
attitude.
It gave the dorms a more homey
look and it brought students
together to complete their goal. This
still has been going on, but on a
smaller basis, until this year. Has
CUP lost their festive attitude?
Recently there was a notice posted
titled, "For Residence Hall
decorations." This notice confused
me and many people in my hall.
First of all, it implies that
decorations may only be placed on
students doors or on university
installed bulletin boards. If you
have walked through the dorm halls
lately, you would notice that RA's
have notice papers around their
doors, by the elevators, and on and
around the bathroom doors. I know
that my hall and many other halls
look like they were attacked by the
parasitic notice papers. Even
though many things confuse me at
CUP, the last time I looked these
papers are made out of the same
material as wrapping paper. Also,
have you walked through a male hall
and noticed every magazine
advertisement from sports to music
plastered on the doors? At the top of
the notice paper for decorating
guidelines, is a small paragraph. In
this paragraph the words "interests
of safety" shows up. Well, this had
me worried, so I contacted
information and asked if there was
ever a fire mat involved combustible
materials on the doors. As the
receptionist tried to hold back her
laughing, she managed to say no. I
stopped worrying. If CUP is
worried about our safety, they
should give everyone ice cleats for
our shoes and padding for our butts
so we won't slide down the hills and
become road kill, on icy days.
My roommate and many others in
the past have decorated their doors
and there were no questions asked.
What is so important about it this
year? Also, why did CUP wait so
long to distribute these notices? The
decorations have already been put
up and been there for days. Rumors
say that if the wrapping paper is not
removed from the doors, students
will be written up and maybe fined,
when the notice only says that
covering student room doors is
STRONGLY DISCOURAGED.
All I can say is if this hippens I
guess it's a Merry Christmas from
CUP.

Clarion needs Recreation Center for all
Dear Editor,
The cover story on October 19th
issue of Clarion Call showed and
described the plans for a new
recreation center for the students at
Clarion University. I feel that this is
a wonderful idea; however, I feel
that the town of Clarion needs a
good recreation center for people of
all ages.
Why can't we get the town to help
defray the costs of the center, so that
we will have a community
recreation center instead of just
something for the college
students? The proposed costs of the
building are close to $5 million
dollars. I realize that it would be
nice to have a few more gyms so
that students that are not in
intercollegiate sports or gym classes
still have a place to have fun, but
there are absolutely no places for
high school students to have this
same kind of fun.
I think it would be really nice if
our town could get a YMCA or
something of that nature to be shared
by everyone. (Maybe the college
could even work out some type of
deal where a whole gym could only
be used by college students showing
a valid student I.D. Or, maybe
something where every Tuesday is
college night, and on that night it
would be closed to the public could
be done.
I feel our tax dollars should be put
to use for everyone, not just those
that are university students.
Sincerely,
Susan Wagner

Females are not receiving the same quality of education as males
Dear Editor,
I am writing regarding the gender
gap between young men an women
in the educational setting. All sorts of
things have changed since 1972,
when Congress outlawed sex dis-
crimination in federally funded
schools. So far, reforms have only
tinkered with the gender gap. The lat-
est research finds that the gender gap
goes well beyond boys' persistent
edge in math and science.
Compelling evidence shows that
females an not receiving the same
quality, or even quantity, of educa-
tion as males.
Findings show there is a difference
between the genders on standardized
tests scores, especially in math and
science. On Advanced Placement
tests, which enable students to earn
college credit during high school,
boys outperform girls in math,
physics and biology. On the SAT test,
in 1991 boys beat girls by eight
points in the verbal score and 44
points in math. Girls are still not par-
ticipating in equal proportion to boys
in advanced level courses.
Specifically, 7.6% of boys choose
calculus compared with 4.7% of
girls. As for science, a fourth of high
school boys take physics, but only
15% of girls do.
The behaviors associated with
many students are usually general-
ized to explain different actions
between the two sexes. It is assumed
by many that boys do well by being
bad. They are the troublemakers who
intimidate girls into silence, monop-
olize discussions, and steal teachers'
attention. School gradually under-
mines girls' self-esteem. The factor
in low self-esteem and performance
is what actually occurs in the class-
room. Observations conducted here
at Clarion have confirmed many sci-
entist's predictions. Many discus-
sions have been influenced by the
boisterous outbursts of college men,
causing the woman to refrain from
important talks dealing with topics
associated with curriculum.
I feel that instructors should
become more aware of the low self-
confidence in females. This would
establish a more comfortable learn-
ing environment for the students.
Professors could help further equal
participation through alternating who
they call on for answers, and encour-
aging feedback from women as well
as men. They should promote equal
participation in the classroom from
both sexes. One gender should not be
permitted to constantly control con-
versations. If the teacher monitors
this conversation manipulation by
one particular sex, they could possi-
bly ask the other non-participating
sex what they think about the issues
at hand. I also think professors
should encourage girls to take
advanced courses and work up to
their potential. Through these differ-
ent types of practices, participation
and performance in the classroom
should be altered positively in order
to promote a more healthy learning
environment.
Sincerely,
Christine M. Thomas.
"The worst performing condom reduced estimated viral exposure 10,000 fold"
Dear Editor,
Religious right political hacks like
columnist Cal Thomas try to portray
use of condoms and safer sex as a
liberal-left political plot Yet Surgeon
General Antonia C. Novello,
appointed by Republican President
George Bush, issued a statement
published in the June 9, 1993 issue of
the Journal of the American Medical
Association strongly supporting con-
dom use for prevention of HIV trans-
mission. Similar statements were
issued by her predecessor, Surgeon
General C. Everett Koop, who was
appointed by Republican President
Ronald Reagan. Novello claims that
20 percent, 40 percent, or 80 percent
of all new HIV seroconversions in
the United States will be avoided if
25 percent, 50 percent, or 100 per-
cent, respectively, of persons use
condoms consistently and comedy.
As to the question of pores in con-
doms, which has replaced the
medieval question about how many
angels can stand on the bead of a pin
in the minds of modern day religious
zealots, she cites a National Institutes
of Health study which found no holes
even at 2,000 times magnification.
Acknowledging that holes can occur,
she refers to quality control testing
by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration which has found an
average condom water leak rate of
0.3 percent.
If the failure rate of a batch of con-
doms exceeds four per 1,000, the
condoms are recalled and barred
from sale. This is a far cry from the
33 percent failure rate hysteria mon-
gers like Thomas proclaim. She says
that there are further obstacles to pas-
sage of HIV even through a micro-
scopic hole. A free virus, which is
nonmobile, would pass through a
hole only if it were associated with a
cell that moves or if it were moved
by hydrostatic pressure through a
hole. However, monocytes and lym-
phocytes that may carry HIV are too
large to pass through microsopic
holes detected by routine testing.
And an FDA study simulating free
HIV in fluid under pressure found
that most condoms leaked no fluid at
all and that, "even the worst perform-
ing condom reduced estimated viral
exposure 10,000 fold." The state-
ment cites condom effectiveness dur-
ing actual use evidenced by contra-
ceptive failure rates ranging from
less than one per 100 to 16 per 100
users per year. She illustrates the
importance of proper condom use by
results from a British study of mar-
ried, more experienced users with
condom-user failure rates for preg-
nancy as low as six per 1,000 users
per year.
The Center for Disease Control's
August 6, 1993 Morbidity and
Mortality weekly Report estimates
that the HIV transmission rate for
consistent condom users is 1.1 per
100 person years of observation,
compared with 9.7 for inconsistent
users. CM. Roland's concerns about
the barrier performance of latex rub-
ber featured in the June 1993 issue of
Rubber World were rebutted by an
article by M.D. Morris and T.D.
Pendle in the very same issue. Morris
and Pendle attribute condom failures
mainly to misuse rather than any
inherent defect in the product.
Leaching in water, which is part of
the normal condom production
process, effectively makes the
porous structure in the latex disap-
pear, they claim. They also refer to
the two rubber layers of a condom
saying that, "the possibility of a hole
being made through both layers, or
of a hole in each layer being perfect-
ly aligned seems extremely remote."
They say that their contention is fur-
ther borne out by the tensile strength
of condoms under high elongation
and direct experimentation with the
HIV virus. Consumer Reports article
"Can You Rely on Condoms?" also
reports that examination of stretched
latex condoms by an electron micro-
scope showed "no pores" and "an
effective intact barrier which won't
even let water — one of the tiniest of
molecules — filter through." It also
describes various laboratory experi-
ments showing that various sexually
transmitted germs cannot pass
through latex condoms. The leaky
boat rumors about condoms spread
by the religious right do not hold
water. But condoms do hold water
and hold back the HIV virus too.

"I was very curious to know their reason for calling themselves * Greeks '"
I am an international student in
Clarion, and I come from Greece.
Ever since I came here I heard many
talks, comments and arguments con-
cerning the fraternities and what is
called "Greek Life." Of course, being
a native Greek and coming to the
States for the first time, I was very
curious to know their reason for call-
ing themselves "Greeks." Do they
follow a certain lifestyle somehow
related to Greece and its long histo-
ry? Or do they wear bed-sheets, san-
dals and head-gardens (hoops), while
sitting on a long table and reading
poetry to each other? (With all the
respect to the ancient poets and
philosophers.)
So I asked a couple of people
involved in fraternities.
They told me a story about the
founders of "Greek Life." It is like
the common expression - "It sounds
like Greek to me." - They just picked
the Greek alphabet as their secret
code. And here I am today in Clarion
having "Greek" friends and neigh-
bors, who hardly know what lan-
guage we now speak in Greece. But
what do these students do to maintain
this title? Let me tell you from my
experiences so far, and from a neutral
point of view. Don't worry, I have no
intention of attacking the fraternities.
After all, it would be very common,
and I really don't want to waste your
time. I am quite sure that by belong-
ing to a fraternity/sorority you may
offer certain things to yourself and to
others, like special study hours, an
extra help for finding a job in the
future, charity etc. I am bored of
reading articles in the students'
newspaper "declaring" that the fra-
ternities are there just for buying
friends and getting drunk. I am bored
also of reading other articles
responding to the accusations, and
"declaring" the sanity of the fraterni-
ties.
A vicious cycle. I disagree with
both sides. There are good and bad
points in the so called "Greek Life."
But the point is this one: what shall
be done by the fraternities, in order to
improve themselves and close the
mouths of their predecessors.
What about a small change of their
function? A little less drinking, espe-
cially when it is under age? (Without
them, Budweiser would become
bankrupt.) Or maybe some cuts in
these ridiculous "educational plung-
ing tortures," often almost funny, that
some fraternities use as their... policy.
(I will not got into details.) I will
leave the thinking to you. I am
proposing some change, hoping not
to be misunderstood for any reason. I
do not want to be perceived as a
chauvinist, For Zeus's sake. But, yes,
the use of the term "Greek Life"
some times bothers me.
Sometimes it seems to me as a sac-
rilege to my country's culture and
civilization. Just think about it.
Would you, please?

This campus only focuses on one issue, homosexuality
Dear Editor,
That's it, I have had it. When you
look up the word "redundancy" in
the dictionary you will find, "See
page two of the Clarion Call " For
the whole semester, all we have seen
is people writing to you about the
issue of homosexuality. It is time to
find a new topic of interest. I can
hardly believe that with all that is
happening in this world, all that this
campus can focus on is one issue.
There is a presidential race going on.
Since it's our future, wouldn't it be
nice to know where the candidates
stand on issues that matter to us? For
example, Congress just passed a law
stating that women no longer have
the right to decide what they want to
do with their own bodies. Women
can no longer have abortions after a
certain period of time, even if the
fetus is so severely retarded or
deformed it could never lead a life
without constant supervision. The
majority of these mentally and phys-
ically challenged individuals are sup-
ported by the U.S. government,
which is supported by our taxes. Or
maybe we could take a look at other
relevant issues besides homosexuali-
ty, at least the tree hugger of a few
semesters ago provided humor. I am
no longer amused There are millions
of other worldly and local issues that
need addressed. How about that new
Recreation Center? How many bas-
ketball courts and weight rooms does
one campus need? I will concede that
homosexuality is an issue that is
prevalent in our society, but it's NOT
THE ONLY ISSUE! ! MOVE ON! !
For those of you who are still
refusing to believe Mr. Brady was
gay, here's your wake up call.
Homosexuality has been around for
centuries. This is not a new issue for
the planet Socrates, who is said to be
one of the greatest thinkers ever,
engaged in homosexual acts, because
that was the Greek lifestyle. Now
given the openness of the American
and other cultural lifestyles, affinity
orientation is something we all have
to accept. If you don't like it, espe-
cially you Ms. Lerch, no one is ask-
ing you to. You can hate it all you
want, that is your right as a free
thinker. But since it is a part of the
world we all live in; live and let live.
You can stay in your own little world
and close your eyes, your mind, and
your mouth. You will be much happi-
er, and so will we.
Respectfully,
Michelle Patnode

Sexual orientation topic of debate
Forum answers questions; Community speaks out
by Mary Beth Curry
News Editor
Sexual orientation was the topic
of debate on November 16 in the
Gemmell Student Complex. A
panel of two homosexual faculty
members, two lesbian students,
and one heterosexual community
member led the discussion of gay
and lesbian perceptions in the
Clarion University community.
The forum was held because of
numerous letters that have been
published in the Clarion Call , and
have been sent out on the VAXB
e-mail system for faculty.
The incident which elicited the
first letter, was the announcement
of National Coming Out Day. In
his e-mail message, Dr. John
Emissee, informed the Clarion
faculty and staff that in order to
support gays and lesbians and to
gain a better understanding of
their lifestyles, on October 11 the
student body and faculty could
wear blue jeans as a symbol of
understanding. This message
prompted a response from Ms.
LaVieta Lerch a Clarion
University secretary. One mes-
sage was sent through the VAXB
system, and another was pub-
lished in the October 19 issue of
the Clarion Call. In the letter
running in the Call . Lerch wrote a
letter detailing many unusual
sexual practices and said of those
practices, "And we're asked to
accept this lifestyle as normal?
No wonder God called it
depraved and shameful "
That letter elicited many
responses from student, faculty,
and staff, and led to continued
correspondence over the e-mail
system. After four weeks of the
letters, the President's
Commission on Affirmative
Action sponsored the Sexual
Orientation Forum.
A memo went out over the VAX
asking for willing members of
the student body, the community,
and the faculty to volunteer to sit
on the panel and discuss their
opinions.
Dr. Joe Thomas, a professor in
the Art department, sat on the
panel. He told those attending
the forum that be was homosexu-
al, and said "I feel very lucky that
I live in a country where I can get
up in front of a group and say that
without getting arrested."
Another member of the panel
was Diane Rhodes, a 21-year-old
lesbian, who is a sophomore at
Clarion University. She said that
her purpose in being a member of
the panel was not to emphasize
the differences between homo-
sexuals, but rather to point out
the similarities.
David Selleck is the Pastor of
the Assemblies of God Church in
Clarion, and was the only hetero-
sexual member of the panel. He
introduced himself the audience
and stated that he was asked to sit
on the panel because the organiz-
ers could not find a heterosexual
who was interested in filling the
position. Reverend Selleck stat-
ed that his purpose was to point
out the biblical perspective on the
issue of homosexuality, and he
would speak from his own beliefs
in Jesus Christ
Senior, psychology major,
Sandy Cramer also served as a
panelist. She is a lesbian and a
mother.
The final member of the panel
was Thaddeus Bartkowiak, a fac-
ulty member from the Financial
Aid department. In his opening
statement he stated that he hoped
people would see the issue as
more than two-sided, and said "...
this is clearly not an us and them
type of thing."
The discussion was facilitated
by Ruth Andrews, a conflict res-
olution specialist. She opened
discussion by saying that her goal
was to "...create a safe place for
this discussion on sexual aware-
ness to evolve."
Questions and comments from
the audience were addressed over
the next two hours. The range of
discussion ranged from how to
provide a safe environment for
homosexuals, to the biblical per-
spective on how to deal with
homosexuality as a Christian.
The only tense moment in the
evening arose when student,
Dave DeStefano, asked the panel,
and Dr. Emissee why blue jeans
had been chosen to symbolize
support for National Coming Out
Day. DeStefano went on to say
that they were such a common
form of dress he did not under-
stand how those responsible for
the event could tell who in fact
was supporting the cause and
who had just dressed as they nor-
mally would.
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call
A panel consisting of two Clarion University students, two faculty members, and a commu-
nity member were on hand to answer questions dealing with recent homosexual issues.
Dr. Emissee explained that the
fact that the symbol was common
was exactly why it had been cho-
sen.
He said that it would force peo-
ple to not where the usual, and to
go out of their way in a stance
against homosexuality.
After the response from Dr.
Emissee, a faculty member who
asked to have his name withheld
from publication said "I got
called a faggot when I had blue
jeans on that day."
He went on to express his dis-
pleasure at the comment and to
say that he did not appreciate the
lack of publicity before the event
happened.
Emissee responded by saying,
"It's not right for them to call you
a faggot, and it's not right for
them to call me one either."
From that point the discussion
went to another audience mem-
ber who also expressed her unrest
because she also wore blue jeans
without being made aware of the
significance that had been put
upon them that day.
The forum ended with a sum-
marization by the mediator, who
also thanked the audience of
approximately 100 people for
attending.
"It was so important that so
many people turned out. It
makes me feel better about the
community and the university,"
said Kay Luthin a member of the
Clarion community.
Dr. Randall Potter a professor
in the psychology department
and acting advisor to Allies (A
group in support of gay and les-
bian rights) agreed and said the
following.
"We've been involved with try-
ing to raise campus awareness
and understanding of gay issues
and with that perspective it's nice
to see so many people get togeth-
er on a Thursday night to discuss
these issues."
Vote possible for next semester
by Shawn Hoke
Photography Editor
The referendum vote for the
proposed recreation center has
been put on hold until the Spring
1996 semester.
The vote, which was supposed
to take place in mid-November
was put on hold until rec center
committee members could meet
with State System of Higher
Education officials to answer
questions and address budget
concerns.
The committee is currently
organizing paperwork to go to
SSHE officials and are resched-
uling the vote for sometime in
February.
The committee has spent many
hours this semester organizing an
informational campaign for stu-
dents in order to ensure that they
understand the issue before they
vote.
When the referendum is pre-
sented to the student body, it will
deal with the issue of imposing
an approximately $90 fee for
incoming students.
This fee would not effect most
of the student body currently on
campus because only the students
who will benefit from the center
will be charged the fee.
The plans that have been sub-
mitted to the committee include,
three basketball courts, a run-
ning/walking track, an aerobics
and dance room, and a climbing
wall.
If the referendum passes stu-
dent vote, it will then go to the
Board of Governors for approval.
The estimated cost of the pro-
ject is $5 million and would be
financed by a floating bond pro-
vided by the state.

Three university students nave
been recommended by the
Student Senate to be interviewed
for a position on the Clarion
University Council of Trustees.
Joseph Baker, Delphine
D'Jossou, and Todd Wheeler
were chosen by the Student
Senate from six applicants to be
interviewed by University
President Dr. Diane Reinhard.
The interview with Dr.
Reinhard is the second step of the
process, which has been ongoing
throughout the duration of the
semester.
The former student member on
the Council, Brian Hoover,
announced the end of his term at
the September 11 Student Senate
meeting.
At that point, the process to
find a new student member
began. Senate advertised the
position and took applications
and letters of recommendation.
After the applications were
returned, a Search and Screening
Committee was formed, consist-
ing of Student Senate President

After the screening process
reached completion, the names of

were forwarded to the President
who, according to Linda
Hawkins, Assistant to the
President and Staff Secretary to
the Council of Trustees, conduct-
ed interviews,noting strengths
and weaknesses of the candidates
as well as offering insights as to

Edward Nolan, Director of
Governmental Relations for the
State System of Higher
Education with the responsibility
for arranging the SSHE inter-

interviews will be conducted by a
committee which will include
representatives from the
Department of Education and
also from the PA Association of
Councils of Trustees (PACT).
After this interviewing process
is completed, one candidate will
be selected and SSHE Chancellor
James McCormick will then send
the recommendation to the office
of PA Governor Thomas Ridge.
The appointment will be made
by the Governor's office, howev-
er, due to delays in the process,
the appointment may not be

Twenty thousand troops will be
sent to aid NATO peacekeeping
troops that are already enforcing
an American-brokered peace
between the Bosnian government
and the Serbs. New technology
has been added to help U.S. sol-
diers who will travel to Bosnia in
the upcoming weeks.
Various innovations include
speedier spy planes, faster anti-
sniper teams, and even tanks spe-
cially equipped for blowing up
land mines.
Some equipment has never

The following is a brier synopsis of the criminal investigations
conducted by Public Safety. The Blotter is compiled by Clarion
Call Public Safety reporter, Dave DeStefano.

ball equipment stolen from the gym sometime between November 14
and November 21.
A report was filed on November 26 by a student whose former room-
mate had removed of upwards of $1000.00 worth of the victim's
belongings from bis room as of November 21. The actor was expelled
from school and removed the items while he was removing his own
belongings from the room.

what appeared to be a dart from a blowgun. No one was injured.
On November 29 at approximately 9:07 PM, an unknown individ
ual threw a cup of ice onto the playing floor, during the Clarion
University/Gannon University basketball game.
Officers were summoned to a report of a fight in progress on the third
floor of Campbell Hall on November 30 at 11:56 PM. Upon arrival at
that location, officers found that although there was no fight in

and other students located on the third floor. The confrontation in
result of an incident that occurred on Payne Street near Campbell Hall
An exchange of words between Talik and some black students result-
ed in one of the males throwing a brick through Talik's rear window.
As a result of the location of the initial incident, this case was referred
to the Clarion Borough Police for investigation. Witnesses of the inci-
dent have identified some of the males in the group. The names of
those individuals involved will be forwarded to the Clarion Police.
Sometime between the hours of 4 PM on November 29 and 2 PM
on November 30, someone stole the side view mirror off a gray Isuzu
SDN in parking lot J at Clarion University.
A actor was found taking university supplies from out of the
Carrier Building on November 30. On November 30 at 1 2:58 AM,
officers responded to Nair Hall following a report of someone shoot-
ing darts at one of the resident's rooms. Responding officers found
that the residents of Room 321, Benjamin A. Bithell and Shad L.
Goff, were in the possession of a hunting type blow gun. The device
had been used to shoot steel darts at the windows of Room
At approximately 9:05 PM on December 1, Public Safety received
a fire alarm from Wilkinson Hall. Upon arrival, it was learned that
the girt living in Room 620 had placed three candles in styrofoam
cups in different areas of her room. She lit all three and left the room
A short time later, the fire alarm sounded for the building and an RA
on duty noticed smoke coming from Room 620. Three small fires
had to be put out with fire extingishers. There were no injuries.
Two students, Deanna Herrick of G5 Ralston Hall and Kristen Kelly
of 637 Nair Hail, will be cited for misuse of permits. One of the stu
dents loaned her permit to the other student. This was found during a
traffic accident of one of the students' vehicles.

Direct lending compromise reached between House and Senate
Courtesy of College Press
Service
WASHINGTON- The House and
Senate have reached a compro-
mise on direct lending, capping
the federal program at 10 percent
for the next fiscal year.
The cut was part of an agree-
ment by House and Senate lead-
ership to cut $5.9 billion from the
student loan program over the
next seven years.
In their original budget pro-
posal, House leaders called for
the elimination of direct lending
by June 1996. Senate leaders,
however, planned to cap the pro-
gram at 20 percent The compro-
mise, which will eventually be
presented to President Clinton for
approval, limits the schools par-
ticipating in direct lending to 10
percent
"The House zeroed direct
lending out originally, and they
were very firm in their stance that
it be cut," said Joel Bacon,
spokesperson for Sen. Nancy
Kassebaum (R-Kansas). "That's
why the Senate couldn't get back
their 20 percent This is really the
most basic compromise."
Secretary of Education
Richard Riley, however, says the
agreement could "destroy" the
program.
"For months the lending
industry has been lobbying
Congress to keep a stranglehold
on the highly profitable student
loan business," Riley said.
"Now, they reportedly
have accepted a compromise that
will assure special interests bil-
lions more in risk-free profits,
perhaps as much as $9 billion
more, and destroy the direct stu-
dent loan program."
Riley said that the compro-
mise contradicted the principles
Republicans ran on during the
1994 elections.
"By capping direct lending
at 10 percent of the national loan
volume, the congressional major-
ity contradicts every stated goal
of its so-called Contract with
America: smaller government,
less red tape, more competition
and more choices for consumers,
he said.
"The fact is direct lending
works for students, families and
schools.
And despite the claims of
special interests, direct lending
saves money for taxpayers."
Currently, 40 percent of all
schools are enrolled in the direct
lending program, which allows
students to borrow directly from
the federal government instead of
banks and lending institutions.
Critics have said that Clinton's
program takes the twenty-five
billion-a-year student loan busi-
ness from banks, guaranty agen-
cies and secondary markets and
gives it to a growing and ineffec-
tive federal bureaucracy.

Clarion: A community working together
by Gara L Smith
Intern, Community Service
Learning
While waiting in the corridors
outside of the Jefferson/Clarion
County Community Action
office, Cheryl Miller, coordinator
of United Campus Ministries,
watched two local women cany
out ten pound bags of potatoes
with smiles on their faces. The
potatoes were donated from local
citizens as well as the money
Miller was about to present to
Linda Elliott, case manager of
Jefferson/Clarion County
Community Action. Miller pre-
sented a check from the 24 hour
Sleepout Against Homelessness,
on November 3-4, totaling over
$1000 raised by a dozen universi-
ty students and four Clarion
University staff members.
Monies were pledged for the

The Caring House was filled with much needed canned
foods and supplies by dedicated campus organizations.
amount of hours the volunteers
would sit out in the cold.
Excitedly, Elliott accepted the
donations and showed Miller the
barren shelves in the food pantry.
Within a few days, the shelves
were once again stocked because
of food drives from local Clarion
churches and the volunteer
efforts of 23 students who partic-
ipated in the Clarion Scavenger
Hunt on Saturday, November 18.
Over 28 heaping bags of food,
totaling over 600 items, were
donated by members of the
Clarion community to be given to
Community Action to be distrib-
uted to local households for
Thanksgiving. "We originally
planned to place the non-perish-
able items in The Caring House
(a mock house located in the
Gemmell Student Complex 2nd
floor rotunda).
Unfortunately, due to theft of
items, we decided to find a more
secure location for the items. As
it worked out, Community
Action was in desperate need of
the food so we sped up the
process and delivered the items
from the scavenger hunt before
Thanksgiving," said Pam
Bedison, Community Service
Learning Project Coordinator.
Representing their respective stu-
dent organizations in the scav-
enger hunt were: Delta Phi
Epsilon: Emily McLane, Julie

Monday, November 20, the inter-
collegiate athletic department
delivered a pick-up truck full of
over 900 canned goods to
Community Action. All IS inter-
collegiate teams participated with
the food drive. "We are happy to
help the community," said Bob
Carlson, Athletic Director. He
further stated, "The student ath-
letes feel really good about them-
selves by helping the community.
All in all it is a win/win situa-
tion." Interfraternity Council
reported over 200 canned good
items were collected by fraternity
members, as well as American
Marketing Association delivered
15 heaping boxes of non-perish-
ables to Community Service
Learning. Dana Mastropietro,
president of American Marketing
Association commented that the
items were donated by students
and staff of the College of
Business. Other organizations
participating in the event were
residence life, InterHall council,
Panhellenic Council, RACS and
Community Service Learning.
Elliott commented that for
Thanksgiving alone 254 turkey
vouchers were distributed to
needy households in the commu-
nity. Along with the vouchers, the
households also received items
from the food bank donated by
the university's community. She
further added, "It would be
impossible to take care of this
many people without the univer-
sity's support." Donations are
graciously accepted by
Community Service Learning to
be delivered to Community
Action. For further information

Fear of Flying by Dave Barry
It's a chilling question
that all of us — even veteran air-
line passengers — ask ourselves
every time we get on an airplane:
"Is this going to be the one? Is
this the flight where I get eaten
by a python?"
This question takes on
an even greater urgency than
usual in light of a recent lawsuit
filed by a Texas couple against
Continental Airlines. According
to an Associated Press article sent
in by many alert readers, the suit
alleges that the couple and their
5-year-old daughter boarded a
Continental flight from Houston
to La Guardia last October,
unaware that "the passenger
seated in front of them had
brought a python aboard in a gym
bag, tucked under the seat."
As a frequent flier, I
find this ironic. I mean, when I
fly, I have to go through a check-
point staffed by beady-eyed secu-
rity personnel who act deeply
suspicious about my laptop com-
puter, as though I'm going to leap
up in the middle of the flight and
yell, "Take this plane to Cuba, or
I'm going to REFORMAT MY
HARD DRIVE!" And yet these
same personnel just let this guy
waltz through carrying a MAJOR
snake.
Anyway, after the plane
took off, the python, as you have
no doubt already guessed, decid-
ed to get out of the gym bag and
stretch its legs. The couple's law-
suit states that when the mother
saw the snake, it was crawling
toward the daughter "in prepara-
tion for attack."
The article does not
state what happened next,
although apparently nobody was
physically harmed. Perhaps an
alert passenger thrust his airline
dinner entree at the python, caus-
ing it to flee in terror back into its
gym bag. (On a recent flight I
was handed a piece of alleged
chicken that was much scarier
than anything Sigourney Weaver
ever fought with a flamethrower.)
But the point is that, unless you
like the idea of becoming Purina
Brand Viper Chow at 35,000 feet,
you should write to your con-
gressperson and demand passage
of a federal law requiring that
any snake traveling on a com-
mercial flight must be (1) secure-
ly locked inside an escape-proof
container, and (2) dead.
Perhaps you don't think
this issue concerns you. Perhaps
you're thinking, "I rarely fly, so
what do I care about snakes in
airplanes? It's not as though
jnmmm snakes are show-
ing up in kitchen-appliance car-
tons!"
Try telling that to the
woman in Roanoke, Texas,
whose chilling ordeal was report-
ed in an Oct. Fort Worth Star-
Telegram story written bv John
Council and sent in by several
alert readers. The woman
brought home a brand-new Silex
Ovenmaster toaster-oven, and

when she opened the box, guess
what she found, writhing around
on its scaly belly, flicking out its
evil forked tongue? You guessed
it: O.J. Simpson.
No, that was a cheap
shot, and I am instructing you to
disregard it What this woman
found was an 18-inch snake.
Needless to say, she screamed,
because the Ovenmaster is sup-
posed to come with a Gila mon-
ster.
No, seriously, she
screamed because she was
expecting a 100 percent reptile-
free appliance. Her husband
killed the snake (the story does
not say how; perhaps be struck it
with an airline omelet), and the
woman took it, in a plastic bag,
back to the Target store where
she purchased the Ovenmaster.
There, the story states, "a store
clerk with some reptile knowl-
edge" identified it as a harmless
corn snake. The store's merchan-
dise manager assured consumers
that this type of incident is very
rare. "It's not something I've
heard about happening in my
lifetime," he stated.
Perhaps not. But just in
case, we all should be more
aware of basic reptile-safety pro-
cedures, which is why I am so
grateful that alert reader Barry
Royden, who lives in Thailand,
sent in an article that appeared in
the Bangkok Post following the
escape of an estimated 100 croc-
odiles from what are described as
"reptile farms" along the Chao
Phraya River. This article begins,
I swear:
'People should not fear
being eaten by hungry crocodiles
that escape from reptile farms
because they can be easily caught
using a piece of rope and some
food as bait, according to a secre-
tary to Prime Minister and
Interior Minister Banharn
Silpa-archa."
Don't you wish OUR
politicians told us useful stuff
like this, instead of yammering
about Medicare?)
The article quotes an
official named Veerakorn
Khamprakob as saying that all
you have to do is put out some
food, wait until the crocodile
approaches, then "simply tiptoe
close to it and gently place a
noose around its head." The arti-
cle states that "the chance of the
crocodile eating you instead of
the bait is apparently very remote
and hardly worth worrying
about."
That is certainly reas-
suring, and I hope you'll bear Mr.
Veerakorn's easy capture tech-
nique in mind the next time
you're in a potentially crocodile-
intensive environment, such as
Thailand, or a Continental
Airlines flight. You can make a
noose from your audio headset
cord; for bait, you can use the
drunk in seat 23-F who keeps
calling the flight attendant
"babe."

Ed and Dave rock your world
by Ed WorguUt and Dave
Graham
This week, instead of the usual
album reviews, I will be review-
ing what was hyped as the
"Rock N Roll event of a life-
time," the Beatles "Anthology"
documentary. Another notewor-
thy event was the release of two
brand new Beatles songs "Free
As A Bird" and "Real Love."
This "event" also coincides with
the release of the Beatles
"Anthology" album, a two CD
set that also includes the two
new songs.
The documentary was present-
ed in three parts. The first part
covered the early years, the sec-
ond the "Sergeant Pepper" era
and the third the events leading
up to the breakup.
The first part contained little
information that any Beatles
fanatic would not already know.
The footage, however, made up
for this lack of information.
Never before seen footage of the
Beatles early performances were
both interesting to watch and to
listen to. Photos and information
about early Beatles bassist Stuart
Sutcliffe was basic and no details
of his death were mentioned.
Stuart died before the Beatles
ever made it big and only
appeared onstage with them up
until and during the first time
they played in Hamburg
Germany. By the time they
returned to Hamburg the second
time, Paul McCartney had
assumed bass duties. Likewise
,the story of Pete Best was hur-
riedly told, actually mentioning
Ringo Starr, who of course
replaced Pete Best, before he was
actually part of the band. Also,
the remaining three Beatles, Paul
McCartney, Ringo Starr and
George Harrison, were inter-
viewed. Pete Best was not inter-
viewed or perhaps not even invit-
ed to be interviewed.
The "Anthology" also shows
the Beatles appearance on the
"Ed Sullivan" show. This
appearance brought the Beatles
music into millions of homes.
Ed and Dave rock your world
Also the Beatles were one of the
first rock bands to play concerts
in stadiums. Footage of the Shea
Stadium show, which was attend-
ed by over 60,000 people,
showed how conceits of this size
were handled before Stadium
rock became the big business that
it is today. Also, the Beatles
movies "Help" and "A Hard
Days Night" showed the Beatles
taking advantage of the film
medium in the pre-MTV age.
The second part of
"Anthology" showed the Beatles
during their most formative and
creative years, most notably the
creation of "Sgt. Peppers Lonely
Hearts Club Band", and
"Magical Mystery Tour" albums.
They were one of the first rock
bands to use primitive synthesiz-
ers to create psychedelic sound
effects. Music at this time was
also influenced by the Beatles
interest in Eastern philosophies,
music and meditation. Also, the
use of marijuana and LSD proba-
bly had a profound influence on
their work, as well as George
Harrison's use of the sitar, an
Eastern instrument which is very
apparent on such tracks as
"Norwegian Wood", and "Within
You And Without You. The
Beatles, instead of touring made
videos, which very closely
resemble the MTV videos of
today. The made for TV film
"Magical Mystery Tour" showed
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call
for the last time.
the Beatles lip synching to tracks
from the album, again this is over
20 years before the dawn of
MTV.
The third installment shows the
Beatles in their final years, crip-
pled by an aborted film project
and the presence of Yoko Ono,
whom John Lennon would soon
marry. This showed the souring
chemistry and the lack of direc-
tion which started when their
manager, Brian Epstein died.
However, two of their finest
albums came from that period,
"Abbey Road" and "Let It Be".
The anthology then concluded
with the now infamous rooftop
concert, which was the last public
appearance the Beatles were to
make as a group.
Now onto the two new heavily
hyped songs. "Free As A Bird"
was crafted from an acoustic
demo that John Lennon recorded
in the late 70's. The remaining
three Beatles then overdubbed
additional guitars, bass, drums,
vocals and other instrumentation
to the crude demo. The result
being a new fully completed
Beatles song, however the song
suffers from overproduction.
ELO's Jeff Lynne produced the
song as original Beatles producer
George Martin had no hand in the
production. Possibly because
this song does not live up to the
Beatles' previous work.
"Real Love" fares slightly bet-

ter". "Real Love" has a much
more upbeat feel and it seems
that this song comes closer, but
not quite close enough to the
Beatles original chemistry. Of
course it may be in the best inter-
ests to leave the past behind, for
without Lennon there can never
be a true Beatles reunion and it is
sad to say that the magic is now
lost forever.
One thing that was left out of
"Anthology" was some Beatles
trivia that I felt would have been
beneficial in telling the story.
While recording "Sgt. Peppers,"
the Beatles shared Abbey Road
studio with a then unknown band
called Pink Floyd. Finally, the
"Paul is dead" theories were
ignored. In the mid-60's there
were rumors that Paul
McCartney had been killed in an
accident Evidence pointing to or
starting the rumors are, if you
play "Magical Mystery Tour"
backwards you hear the words,
"Paul is dead. I buried Paul", also
you can hear "Paul is the
Walrus", walrus being the Greek
word for corpse. Also, on the
cover of "Abbey Road" Paul,
who is left handed is holding a
cigarette in his right hand, Paul
being left handed, this is unusual.
Also, Paul is not wearing shoes
and it is British custom to bury
the dead barefoot. Whether these
are devices pointing to Paul's
death and rumors of the use of a
"substitute Paul", may be a mere
coincidence. It does make for
some intersting points to ponder
and maybe only Paul, George and
Ringo know the truth.
Well, Alice In Chains finally
released a new CD. Their fourth
release is self titled. You won't be
able to miss it this Christmas
shopping season, with it's dayglo
green cover. However, I'm afraid
that you should pass it up. Since
their last release, "Jar of Flies,"
there have been rumors that Alice
in Chains broke up. They should
have stopped while they were
ahead. This release offers nothing
new from this once original
sounding band. It starts off with
their first release, "Grind", and
continues along that same vein
until they bleed it dry. Halfway
through the CD one gets sick of
hearing vocalist Layne Staley
sing using that new "it sounds
like the mic is broken" sound he
seems to be so fond of now. It
makes him sound like a robot,
and I feel that this is the major
problem of the album. The whole
thing sounds as if it's running on
auto pilot. It sounds as if they just
whipped out this album because
they were still under contract. No
feeling is put into it, unlike some
of their older releases. I feel this
is probably the main problem.
They seem to be bored with their
own sound. The only song that
stands out is "Heaven Beside
You". Jerry Cantrell does the
main vocals over a country like
blues guitar part. During the cho-
rus of the song it also takes on an
interesting "California Dreamin"
"Hazy Shade of Winter" tone to
it. The last song entitled "Over
Now" symbolizes what I feel
could be the end of the once cre-
ative Alice In Chains. I only rec-
ommend this disc if you're a die
hard Alice In Chains fan.

Fear of Flying by Dave Barry
It's a chilling question
that all of us — even veteran air-
line passengers — ask ourselves
every time we get on an airplane:
"Is this going to be the one? Is
this the flight where I get eaten
by a python?"
This question takes on
an even greater urgency than
usual in light of a recent lawsuit
filed by a Texas couple against
Continental Airlines. According
to an Associated Press article sent
in by many alert readers, the suit
alleges that the couple and their
5-year-old daughter boarded a
Continental flight from Houston
to La Guardia last October,
unaware that "the passenger
seated in front of them had
brought a python aboard in a gym
bag, tucked under the seat."
As a frequent flier, I
find this ironic. I mean, when I
fly, I have to go through a check-
point staffed by beady-eyed secu-
rity personnel who act deeply
suspicious about my laptop com-
puter, as though I'm going to leap
up in the middle of the flight and
yell, "Take this plane to Cuba, or
I'm going to REFORMAT MY
HARD DRIVE!" And yet these
same personnel just let this guy
waltz through carrying a MAJOR
snake.
Anyway, after the plane
took off, the python, as you have
no doubt already guessed, decid-
ed to get out of the gym bag and
stretch its legs. The couple's law-
suit states that when the mother
saw the snake, it was crawling
toward the daughter "in prepara-
tion for attack."
The article does not
state what happened next,
although apparently nobody was
physically harmed. Perhaps an
alert passenger thrust his airline
dinner entree at the python, caus-
ing it to flee in terror back into its
gym bag. (On a recent flight I
was handed a piece of alleged
chicken that was much scarier
than anything Sigoumey Weaver
ever fought with a flamethrower.)
But the point is that, unless you
like the idea of becoming Purina
Brand Viper Chow at 35,000 feet,
you should write to your con-
gressperson and demand passage
of a federal law requiring that
any snake traveling on a com-
mercial flight must be (1) secure-
ly locked inside an escape-proof
container, and (2) dead.
Perhaps you don't think
this issue concerns you. Perhaps
you're thinking, "I rarely fly, so
what do I care about snakes in
airplanes? It's not as though
jnmmm snakes are show-
ing up in kitchen-appliance car-
tons!"
Try telling that to the
woman in Roanoke, Texas,
whose chilling ordeal was report-
ed in an Oct. Fort Worth Star-
Telegram story written bv John
Council and sent in by several
alert readers. The woman
brought home a brand-new Silex
Ovenmaster toaster-oven, and

when she opened the box, guess
what she found, writhing around
on its scaly belly, flicking out its
evil forked tongue? You guessed
it: O.J. Simpson.
No, that was a cheap
shot, and I am instructing you to
disregard it. What this woman
found was an 18-inch snake.
Needless to say, she screamed,
because the Ovenmaster is sup-
posed to come with a Gila mon-
ster.
No, seriously, she
screamed because she was
expecting a 100 percent reptile-
free appliance. Her husband
killed the snake (the story does
not say how; perhaps he struck it
with an airline omelet), and the
woman took it, in a plastic bag,
back to the Target store where
she purchased the Ovenmaster.
There, the story states, "a store
clerk with some reptile knowl-
edge" identified it as a harmless
corn snake. The store's merchan-
dise manager assured consumers
that this type of incident is very
rare. "It's not something I've
heard about happening in my
lifetime," he stated.
Perhaps not. But just in
case, we all should be more
aware of basic reptile-safety pro-
cedures, which is why I am so
grateful that alert reader Barry
Royden, who lives in Thailand,
sent in an article that appeared in
the Bangkok Post following the
escape of an estimated 100 croc-
odiles from what are described as
"reptile farms" along the Chao
Phraya River. This article begins,
I swear:
'People should not fear
being eaten by hungry crocodiles
that escape from reptile farms
because they can be easily caught
using a piece of rope and some
food as bait, according to a secre-
tary to Prime Minister and
Interior Minister Banham
Silpa-archa."
Don't you wish OUR
politicians told us useful stuff
like this, instead of yammering
about Medicare?)
The article quotes an
official named Veerakorn
Khamprakob as saying that all
you have to do is put out some
food, wait until the crocodile
approaches, then "simply tiptoe
close to it and gently place a
noose around its head." The arti-
cle states that "the chance of the
crocodile eating you instead of
the bait is apparently very remote
and hardly worth worrying
about."
That is certainly reas-
suring, and I hope you'll bear Mr.
Veerakorn' s easy capture tech-
nique in mind the next time
you're in a potentially crocodile-
intensive environment, such as
Thailand, or a Continental
Airlines flight. You can make a
noose from your audio headset
cord; for bait, you can use the
drunk in seat 23-F who keeps
calling the flight attendant
"babe."

Ed and Dave rock your world
by Ed Worgula and Dave
Graham
This week, instead of the usual
album reviews, I will be review-
ing what was hyped as the
"Rock N Roll event of a life-
time," the Beatles "Anthology"
documentary. Another notewor-
thy event was the release of two
brand new Beatles songs "Free
As A Bird" and "Real Love."
This "event" also coincides with
the release of the Beatles
"Anthology" album, a two CD
set that also includes the two
new songs.
The documentary was present-
ed in three parts. The first part
covered the early years, the sec-
ond the "Sergeant Pepper" era
and the third the events leading
up to the breakup.
The first part contained little
information that any Beatles
fanatic would not already know.
The footage, however, made up
for this lack of information.
Never before seen footage of the
Beatles early performances were
both interesting to watch and to
listen to. Photos and information
about early Beatles bassist Stuart
Sutcliffe was basic and no details
of his death were mentioned.
Stuart died before the Beatles
ever made it big and only
appeared onstage with them up
until and during the first time
they played in Hamburg
Germany. By the time they
returned to Hamburg the second
time, Paul McCartney had
assumed bass duties. Likewise
,the story of Pete Best was hur-
riedly told, actually mentioning
Ringo Starr, who of course
replaced Pete Best, before he was
actually part of the band. Also,
the remaining three Beatles, Paul
McCartney, Ringo Starr and
George Harrison, were inter-
viewed. Pete Best was not inter-
viewed or perhaps not even invit-
ed to be interviewed.
The "Anthology" also shows
the Beatles appearance on the
"Ed Sullivan" show. This
appearance brought the Beatles
music into millions of homes.
Ed and Dave rock your world
Also the Beatles were one of the
first rock bands to play concerts
in stadiums. Footage of the Shea
Stadium show, which was attend-
ed by over 60,000 people,
showed how concerts of this size
were handled before Stadium
rock became the big business that
it is today. Also, the Beatles
movies "Help" and "A Hard
Days Night" showed the Beatles
taking advantage of the film
medium in the pre-MTV age.
The second part of
"Anthology" showed the Beatles
during their most formative and
creative years, most notably the
creation of "Sgt. Peppers Lonely
Hearts Club Band", and
"Magical Mystery Tour" albums.
They were one of the first rock
bands to use primitive synthesiz-
ers to create psychedelic sound
effects. Music at this time was
also influenced by the Beatles
interest in Eastern philosophies,
music and meditation. Also, the
use of marijuana and LSD proba-
bly had a profound influence on
their work, as well as George
Harrison's use of the sitar, an
Eastern instrument which is very
apparent on such tracks as
"Norwegian Wood", and "Within
You And Without You. The
Beatles, instead of touring made
videos, which very closely
resemble the MTV videos of
today. The made for TV film
"Magical Mystery Tour" showed
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call
for the last time.
the Beatles lip synching to tracks
from the album, again this is over
20 years before the dawn of
MTV.
The third installment shows the
Beatles in their final years, crip-
pled by an aborted film project
and the presence of Yoko Ono,
whom John Lennon would soon
marry. This showed the souring
chemistry and the lack of direc-
tion which started when their
manager, Brian Epstein died.
However, two of their finest
albums came from that period,
"Abbey Road" and "Let It Be".
The anthology then concluded
with the now infamous rooftop
concert, which was the last public
appearance the Beatles were to
make as a group.
Now onto the two new heavily
hyped songs. "Free As A Bird"
was crafted from an acoustic
demo that John Lennon recorded
in the late 70's. The remaining
three Beatles then overdubbed
additional guitars, bass, drums,
vocals and other instrumentation
to the crude demo. The result
being a new fully completed
Beatles song, however the song
suffers from overproduction.
ELO's Jeff Lynne produced the
song as original Beatles producer
George Martin had no hand in the
production. Possibly because
this song does not live up to the
Beatles' previous work.
"Real Love" fares slightly bet-

ter". "Real Love" has a much
more upbeat feel and it seems
that this song comes closer, but
not quite close enough to the
Beatles original chemistry. Of
course it may be in the best inter-
ests to leave the past behind, for
without Lennon there can never
be a true Beatles reunion and it is
sad to say that the magic is now
lost forever.
One thing that was left out of
"Anthology" was some Beatles
trivia that I felt would have been
beneficial in telling the story.
While recording "Sgt. Peppers,"
the BeaUes shared Abbey Road
studio with a then unknown band

are devices pointing to Paul's
death and rumors of the use of a
"substitute Paul", may be a mere

some interning points to ponder
and maybe only Paul, George and
Ringo know the truth.

News of the Weird by Chuck Shepard
The family of Santo
Alba filed a lawsuit in Boston
against the late Mr. Alba's

Navy computer systems manager
Raoul Payette blamed his super-
visor and shot her in the neck

tion to "Identify and Eliminate
Barriers to Quality"; "She was
the barrier, he said. Someone
with a worse job than either man

Nevada prostitutes; that person's
job was to examine used con-
doms for breakage.
—In May, Hawaii's
Intermediate Court of Appeals set
aside the firearms conviction of
James G. Kahoonei because his
bedroom was illegally searched.
The search was conducted by
Kahoonei's mother, but the court

as a mother but as an "agent" of
the government in looking for
weapons.

Licciardi, 36, who was freshly
convicted of killing his disabled
father in order to get his hands on
the family fortune and who had

his trial, claimed in a letter to the
Stockton (Calif.) Record that he
had incompetent counsel, that the
judge was "unfair," "prejudiced"
and "unreasonable" for allowing
Licciardi to represent himself.
— An Albany, N.Y.,
Bobbittization case against a
woman hung on the parties' com-
parative credibility, and one of
the issues currently being consid-
ered by the New York Court of
Appeals is who was telling the
truth about where the slashed vic-
tim removed his undershorts. He
said in the bedroom, but she said
in the kitchen (where be was
about to rape her) and testified
that the undershorts therefore
reeked of spices. Her lawyer now
says the trial judge made a cru-

version, the judge should have
sniffed the uiuaundered shorts
himself during the trial or passed
them over to the jury for sniffing.

remarks during a medical mal-
practice trial involving a
Hispanic victim. According to
the Chicago Sun-Tunes, when
defense attorneys pointed out that
there had once been a shooting in
the malpractice victim's family
(which could have led to the vic-
tim's subsequent learning disabil-
ities), Judge Smith said, "Of
course, [shooting guns] is a com-

shoot at anything that was out
there."

Panhellenic formal rush set for Spring 1996
by Jennifer Founds
Copy and Design Editor
The spring semester holds
many new opportunities for stu-
dents on campus. They have a
chance to make a fresh start with
their schoolwork, become active
in the outdoors when the weather
improves, become involved in
organizations, and meet new peo-
ple. One good way for women at
Clarion University to meet other
new and interesting women is
through participating in Formal
Rush 1996.
Formal rush is a way for
women to interact and become
aware of sororities and Greek
life.
This upcoming years spring
formal rush is in the process of
being organized by many Greek
women, and headed by the
Panhellenic Vice President of
Rush, Stacy Walls.
Walls and her assistant Carrie
Baranyk are very busy and excit-
ed to see formal rush start.
"With enrollment up, I'm look-
ing forward to a very successful

rush for both rushees and sorori-
ties," Walls states.
There are ten sororities on the
Clarion campus, and all are
invited to participate.
The dates rush will be held are
as follows: Sunday, February 4;
Thursday, 8; Friday, 9 and
Saturday the 10.
The parties held each night are:
Meet the Greeks on Sunday,
which is the party when all of the
rushees are required to attend all
of the parties held by the different
sororities, Casual party on
Thursday, which is an informal
evening which allows the girls
who were invited back by the
sororities who chose them an
opportunity to interact for a
longer period of time.
Theme party is on Friday,
which is a night where the soror-
ities usually perform a skit and
have a slide show which goes
along with the themes of each
sororities choice, Preference
party on Saturday is the last
night of Formal Rush, and is a
ceremonial night when each
sorority and rushee make their
final decisions.
IFC sponsors
third annual
canned food drive
Courtesy of IFC
Two weeks ago, the Clarion
University Interfraternity
Council held it's third annual
canned food drive.
The fraternities solicited food in
a door to door drive throughout
Clarion and the other neighbor-
ing communities.
An air of competition was
added, as each fraternity attempt-
ed to receive more canned dona-
tions that the other Clarion chap-
ters.
The top winners for the drive
were Kappa Delta Rho and
Sigma Chi.
The Interfraternity Council as a
whole collected over 300 cans
and other non perishable items to
be donated to the Community
Action Agency of Clarion
County.
IFC extended their praises to
the chapters that actively partici-
pated in the annual canned food
drive.
"It is nice to see that the chap-
ters can come together in a
friendly competition to help
those less fortunate than them-
selves this holiday season. IFC
would like to thank and congrat-
ulate Kappa Delta Rho, Sigma
Chi, and the other active chapters
for a job well done," said IFC
president, Pete Talento.
Shawn Hoke/Clarion Call
The third annual IFC canned food drive proved to be a
good community service project tor the Clarion University
Greek organizations. Over 300 cans were collected and
donated to the community.

Golden Eagle men struggle, face Kutztown Saturday
by Scott FeUman
Sports Writer
When one thinks of early sea-
son college basketball tourney's,
a picture of the home team invit-
ing cupcakes may come into
mind. Not so for the Golden
Eagles as last weekend's
Subway/KFC Classic tipped off
in Tippin Gym.
Opening night of the classic
saw the Golden Eagles come
from behind in exciting fashion
as they defeated Point Park 95-
94. Down by 10 at the half and
by 14 at one point in the 2nd half,
the Golden Eagles came back
with freshmen forward Ben
Bithell's two free throws with 1.5
seconds left to win the game.
Bithell led all scorers in the game
with 27 points and pulled down a
team high 11 rebounds. Clarion
was sparked by scoring off the
Point Park turnovers and also on
the offensive boards. Oronn
Brown contributed 16 points and
8 assists with Wayne Fletcher and
Jamie Polak contributing 14
points a piece. The Golden
Eagles then were faced with the
challenge of the Westminister
Titans who dropped Scranton in
Friday's opener.
Saturday's championship saw
the Titans shoot out to a 7 point
half-time led and never look back
as they took the championship
88-67. Leading the way for the
Eagles was stellar point guard
Oronn Brown who threw in 18
and added 3 assists. Many of
Browns dishes found Polak who
had 14 and swingman Gregg
Frist who netted 16 and grabbed
6 boards.
The Golden Eagles placed two
players on the All-Tournament
team with Oronn Brown (17.0
ppg) and Ben Bithell (17.5 ppg)

Lady Golden Eagle hoopsters take to the court
by Chris Myers
Sports Writer
Youth is the word as you peer
down the roster of the Clarion
Golden Eagle women's basket-
ball team. A team that is in the
process of reloading this 1995-96
season, not rebuilding.
The team is reloading its arse-
nal with more deadly shooters
and not just filling voids like
other teams.
This talented young team only
having a mere two seniors and
two juniors for upper classsmen
will have their fair share of
"growing pains" this season.
The team already had a few
examples of this but there will be
no way the Clarion women hav-
ing this much talent will be able
to be held in check for long.
The Golden Eagles will once
again be a force in the PSAC-
West in which they are picked to
finish fourth.
The five-time defending PS AC-
West champs will make another
run for a sixth straight title. Now,
before I hype mem up to national
Champion status let me tell you
about how mis exciting women's
team has been coming along in
the early season.
The golden Eagles tipped off
their drive for title number six
and the season in the Clarion
Classic Tournament.
They were matched against the
Point Park Pioneers. Clarion fell
behind Point Park by as many as
five points within the first five
minutes of action but got their
composure together and took the
lead they would not lose at 21-18,
thanks to a Tina Skelley lay-up.
Clarion stormed to the half on
top 45-29 and continued their
onslaught through the second
half.
Clarion coasted in their opener
103-68 thanks to six players in
double figures.
The Clarion Classic
Championship was next against
the dreaded Mercy-hurst Lady
Lakers. It was a matchup
between the last two East Region
elite 8 representatives as Clarion
appeared in 1994 and Mercy hurst
last season.
The Golden Eagles raced to an
11-0 start on Mona Gaffhey's
lay-up.
Then the Lakers woke up and
battled to the lead 26-25 just 10
minutes later. The half came to a
close with Clarion holding onto a
slim 47-44 lead. The Golden
Eagles proved to have enough
steam to keep control and the
lead the entire second half,
although it was a close ending
with the score standing at 78-73.
It was time to bit the road as
Clarion made their way across
the state to Kutztown. The
Golden Eagles would find the
road isn't as nice as Tippin
Gymnasium.
The young squad would feel
their first "growing pains" as

Clarion re-grouped out of the
half as Gaffney poured in 20 of
her game high 29 points, but

points, falling 87-73.
The Lady Cats of Pitt-

behind hot shooting and pressure
defense taking UPJ totally out of
their game. In fact, the margin
grew to a huge halftime cushion
of 25 points on a Tina Skelley
jumper 57-32.
The second half proved to be
much different as with some
young teams, Clarion let up.
The Lady Cats outscored
Clarion in the second half 48-44
but found the deficit to be too
great with the final score stand-
ing at 101-80.
The story of the night was Tma
Skelley. Skelley downed a career
high 15 points as she shot 5 of 7
from the field and missing just
one of six at the line.
This past weekend found the
Lady Golden Eagles in the
Bluegrass state of Kentucky and
the Northern Kentucky
Tournament. The opening night
found Clarion pitted against
Hillsdale. The opening half of
action saw two teams shoot very
effectively from the field.
Both squads dropped in over
half their shots and the score
reflected as much showing a 41-
38 Hillsdale lead. Hie turning
point of the game did not come
until half way through the second
half on three Rachel Steinbugl
free throws.
This gave Clarion a lead they
would not lose as Mona Gaffney
made sure of it adding seven
points in the final 9 minutes for
the 83-75 victory. Gaffney also
cleared 13 rebounds to go with
20 points in her all around season
best.
Then came the Northern
Kentucky Championship which
pitted the Lady Golden Eagles
against Grand Valley State from
Michigan. Little did Clarion
know that an invisible lid would
be put over their basket for this
championship contest.
The Golden Eagle attack was
getting the shots they wanted, but
found themselves to be colder
than Antarctica. Their first half
field goal percentage was under
14% as they found themselves in
a huge hole at 49-15.
The second half is usually a
totally different story but not on
this night. The Golden Eagles
only made 9 shots in the second
half and 14 of 78 for the game.
The championship ended in
Clarion's worst defeat in recent
years at the hands of Grand
Valley State 91-41.
Clarion, now 4-2 on the young
season, traveled to Bloomsburg
Wednesday evening to try to
rebound against the Huskies.
The team returns to Tippin
Gymnasium this coming
Saturday at 1 pm. The Lady
Golden Eagles will look to
avenge losses against the East
Stroudsburg warriors in both last
year's PSAC State
Championship and the first round
of the National playoffs.
AHmy thanks and Happy Holidays to

LOSE 20 POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS
Famous U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet
This diet has been featured in SPORTS ILLUSTRATED magazine!
During the non-snow off season the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team members
used the "Ski Team" diet to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. That* s right - 20 pounds in
14 daysl The basis of the diet is chemical food action and was devised by a famous
Colorado physician especially for the U.S. Ski Team. Normal energy is maintained
(very important!) while reducing. You keep "full"- no starvation - because the diet is
designed that way. It's a diet that is easy to follow whether you work, travel or stay at
home.
This is, honestly, a fantastically successful diet. If it weren't, the U.S.
Women's Alpine Ski Team wouldn't be permitted to use it! Right? So, give yourself the
same break the U.S. Ski Team gets. Lose weight the scientific , proven way. Even if
you've tried all the other diets, you owe it to yourself to try the U.S. Women's Alpine
Ski Team Diet. That is, if you really do want to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. Order
today! Tear this out as a reminder.
Send only $8.95 ($9.60 in Calif.)-add .50 cents RUSH service to: American
Institute, 721 E. Main Street, Dept. 254, Santa Maria, CA 93454-4507. Don't order
unless you expect to lose 20 pounds in two weeks! Because that's what the Ski
Team Diet will do. ©1995

Hello sports fans, another
semester comes to an end and
with that, the NFL season also
concludes. Since we won't be
here for the conclusion of the
season, I'll tell you what will
happen. In the AFC the Steelers
and Chiefs get first round byes in
the playoffs, meanwhile the Bills
squeak by the Broncos, and the
Dolphins lose to the Raiders. In
the second round, the Chiefs win
a hard fought game against the
Bills, and the return of Rod
Woodson helps the Steelers
shutout the Raiders. The champi-
onship game is a defensive strug-
gle in which the Steelers win on a
last second Norm Johnson field
goal.
In the NFC, Dallas and San
Francisco receive first round
byes, while the Packers beat the
Eagles and the Lions outlast the
Falcons. In the second round, the
Cowboys maul the Lions, and the
49ers Steve Young outshines the
Packers Brett Favre. In the
championship game, Dallas has
no sweet revenge and the 49ers
defense controls the Cowboys
weapons and prepares to meet the
Steelers in Super Bowl XXX.
Here are some highs and lows
in the NFL season this year. First
the lows. The Cleveland
Browns. I won't comment on
that, I think we're all sick of this
fiasco by now. The St. Louis
Rams: 5-0. They are 2-6 in the
last 8 games, people were talking
playoffs. Noway. Drew Bledsoe
and the New England Patriots.
All sorts of hype all off season.
What happened? The AFC
champions San Diego Chargers?
Without Means they're rotten,
although they still have playoff
hopes.
Some highs thus far in the sea-
son. The Carolina Panthers.
Dom Capers and Co. are turning
a lot of heads, and mathematicaly
could sneak into the playoffs.
The resurgence of Bam Morris.
Bam has performed up to his
billing, after a "Heavy" disa-
pointment early on.
Brett Favre, even without
Sterling Sharpe, Favre is having
the best season by any QB. The
K.C. Chiefs and ancient Marcus
Allen plus some other cagy veter-
ans somehow win. But you gotta
give them credit.
As long as I'm predicting the
future, I'll tell you whose gonna
win the Big Bowl games.
In the Orange Bowl the
Fighting Irish, behind backup QB
Tom Krug beat the highly
favored Seminoles with stellar
defensive play and a smash-
mouth style run game.
Disappointed Ohio State
redeems itself, and explodes on
Tennessee. Heisman Trophy
winner Eddie George has career
day.
Cinderella Northwestern com-
pletes its fairy tale season by
beating USC in the Rose Bowl.
#1 v.s. #2. Nebraska is just too
powerful for Florida. Tommy
Frazier will give the Gators fits,
even though Danny Wuerffel has
an awesome day.
The AP final 10 goes like this:
1. Nebraska
2. Northwestern
3. Florida
4. Ohio State
5. Notre Dame
6. Colorado
7. Tennessee
8. Kansas St.
9. Kansas
10. Texas
By the way, Penn State loses to
Auburn in the Outback Bowl.
They fall to 20th and still com-
plain about being #2 last year.
In baseball moves, the Florida
Marlins dealt Chuck Carr to the
Milwaukee Brewers for minor
league pitching. Carr; whose
almost as fast as some cars, had
to find a new parking lot when
the Marlins signed veteran
Devon White.
The Atlanta Braves ma*y never
have a bad season again. They
re-signed Fred McGriff and
Marquis Grissom, and keep their
powerful world championship
team in tact.
The big question we all want
answered is who are the Buccos
going to sign?
Gold Glove centerfielder
Darren Lewis was released by the
Reds.
He would fit nicely into the
Bucs lineup at the lead off spot,
where Jacob Brumfield failed to
accomplish anything.
Outfielder Pfcil Plantier, who
loves hitting the deep ball, is also
out on waivers.
The Bucs leader in home runs
last year was Jeff King with 18,
so Plantier would be a nice pick
up.

I have nothing to gripe about
these days. No labor strikes (refs
don't count), no relocating teams
(bey, my team isn't going any-
where..) and finally number one
will be decided on the field in col-
lege football. What a match-up
this Nebraska-Florida game looks
like! You have the quarterback
who will probably win the
Heisman this weekend in
Nebraska's Tommy Fraizer against
the quarterback who should win
the Heisman trophy in Florida's
Danny Wuerffel. If I had a vote,
(and every Clarion call sports writer
should have one) this guy would
get it He only waits until they play
top 10 teams to have his biggest
games. This guy averaged a little
over 400 yards passing a game
against Tennessee, Auburn, Florida
State, and Arkansas in the SBC
championship game. Don't give
me the crap about Wuerffel being a
product of Coach Steve Spurrier's
system because the system only
works if be is making the right
reads and decisions, and this guy
isn't messing up too often. IamO-
1 this year in publicized predic-
tions but that won't phase me
because I'm predicting a steady
dose of com in the Gator diet come
January 2nd- - Florida 35
Nebraska 24.
Oh, these are happy days in
Northwestern. I just hope the Rose
Bowl is over before the
Northwestern students' bedtime so
they can see .the whole game. I'm
going to take another stab and say
Northwestern 27 USC 13.
Let's make that smooth transition
to the NFL. As the playoffs near,
there are some nice battles devel-
oping as far as playoff positioning
is concerned. It appears the Chiefs
will probably get the home field
advantage in the AFC barring a
total end of season collapse. The
Steelers have a good grasp on the
second spot, but did you catch the
statistic that doesn't bode well for
them as the playoffs come? They
have only defeated one team all
year with a winning record.
Granted, they play in the worst
division in football, but this pre-
sents some interesting games in
front of them On Sunday, they
travel to Oakland to do battle with
a Raider team that has to be kick-
ing themselves for how they've
played against the Chiefs this year,
and then the Steelers finish up the
regular season by playing the
NFC's third best team in the Green
Bay Packers. Watch how they play
in these games and it will be a pret-
ty good indication of how they will
fare in the playoffs. The NFC
home field advantage isn't as clear
as it once was with the completion
of the Dallas sweep by the
Redskins, the late season charge of
the 49ers and the before mentioned

December?, 1995
The Best Seat in the House
by Scott Feldman
Sports Writer
Well it's finally here, the last
week of the Fall 1995 semester.
A semester that saw a talented
C.U.P. football team fighting till
the very end, a men's basketball
team looking for someone old
enough to vote, and the Golden
Eagle wrestlers and women's
basketball team looking to con-
tinue excellent traditions. Now,
on with this week's end of the
year Christmas column.
I have to admit, at one point in
the NFL season, I thought the
Steelers were done. I figured that
a season of 7-9 would be a suc-
cess, but to my suprise, they have
won six games in a row and are
now clinched to be the AFC
Central Division Champions.
The Steelers ran their record to 9-
4 with a sloppy win over the
Houston Oilers.
In the game, Neil O'Donnell
had trouble finding a receiver,
and when he did, he often left his
talented receivers hanging out to
dry.
But low and behold when
O'Donnell seemed to falter, the
Blitzburgh defense and "Buffet"
Bam Morris stepped up their
game to lead the Steelers to a
division clinching win.
A win's a win and the Steelers
must now meet their toughest
challenge of the season, the
Oakland Raiders. Hopefully, the
Steelers can contain one of the
most powerful offenses in foot-
ball today. A win this week and
the boys from the Burgh will
cruise into the playoffs.
Sticking with football, only on
the level where they don't get
paid, the Heisman trophy in 4 95
is one of the deepest in recent
memory. Florida QB Danny
Wuerffel has the numbers to
make the voting a run away. His
35 TD's and 65% completion rat-
ing rank highly among the
nations leaders and his 178.4 QB
rating is an NCAA record.
If I got a vote, Wuerffel would
be the hands down winner but,
nobody cares what I think so here
are other candidates who will all
split the votes with Wuerffel.
Nebraska QB Tommy Frazier.
Frazier, who many believe to be
just as good as passer as he is a
runner, again led his team to an
undefeated season.
How about Ohio State's Eddie
George? George ran for 1,826
yards and is the best bet for a
Buckeye to win the award since
Archie Griffin's back to back cer-
emonies in the 70's. My last vote
would go to Iowa State's Troy
Davis.
If I recall correctly Rashaan
Salaam won the award last year
because of his 2,000+ yards.
Well Davis became just the 5th
player in history to run for the
two grand plateau.
Frazier will probably win the
award, but in this writers mind it
should be Danny Wuerffel all the
way. In fact Wuerffel will prove
to everyone who the best is on
Jan. 2 when the two meet in the
Fiesta Bowl.
Changing from the gridiron to
the hardwood, everyone's early
season favorite, Kentucky, suf-
fered at the hands of UMass. But
let me to tell you about the blue-
grass bombers.
They have 10 to 12 players who
could start anywhere in the coun-
try and UK just doesn't have
enough hoops, balls, or time to
satisfy all of them.
Coach Rick Piuno needs to be
able to blend the different talents
on his team if he is to have the
success that everyone thought he
would. Other college hoop notes
have the Kansas Jayhawks jump-
ing up to gain the top spot
Don't worry, as the Jayhawks
will screw it up and not even
come close in March. UMass
deserves to be #1 and anyone
who thinks differently needs to
watch a little more hoops.
UMass blends a solid backcourt
with the nation's best player
Marcus Camby.
Camby thus far has been awe-
some in impressive wins over
Kentucky and Maryland. If he
continues to play at this level, the
Minutemen could be cutting
down some nets come tourna-
ment time.
Now, it wouldn't be Christmas
time without presents, and I'm so
nice that I'm giving out the 1st
annual Best Seat in the House X-
Mas presents:
CJI.R Football Coach Malm
Luke: For mother nature to be
nice for once so his powerful
offense doesn't have to drive
through monsoons.
Clarion Call Snorts Editor
Kraiy Koelsch; A great gradua-
tion and tickets to the Outback
bowl.
C.U.R Men's Hoop Coach Ron
Riyhter: A 7-Foot Division I
transfer to go with his talented
backcourt.
HBA_Bfifei A pen so they can
sign a contract before someone
gets killed.
\f. A NL MVP Voters; A clue.
CUR Wrestling Coach Jack
Davis: A healthy season to be in
the hunt for a national title.
CUR Atheltic Directior Bob
Carlson: A WWF Match with
Bret "the Hitman "Hart
Pittsburgh Steeler F-MSi
Shopping spree at Clarion
Beverage for the Super Bowl
game between the Packers and
the Steelers.
C.U.R 190 Pounder Brvan
Stout; A National title.
Well I'm only stopping here
because it's time to go and watch
the WWF live at Tippin Gym. To
everyone I might have missed, I
wish a merry X-Mas and the best
seat in the house will see you in
1996.
Cont. from pg. 21
n
mentioned Packers. I don't think it
really makes a difference though
where the Cowboys and 49ers play
anymore because of the strength of
both these squads.
I also don't think it matters where
the Cowboys and 49ers play in the
plryoffs because I get a strong feel-
ing that one of those teams won't be
playing in the NFC Championship
game. Call me crazy, but I believe
the Boys and the Niners are at their
most "upsetable" stage right now
then they have been in a long time.
Laugh right now, but you heard it
here first.
Let's make another smooth transi-
tion to the land of pucks. Can any-
one make an argument right now
against Mario Lemieux not being the
greatest player ever in the NHL? To
do what he hat done after recovering
from cancer treatment and taking
close to a year and a half off has got
to put him past Gretzky in my books.
The Stanley Cup race right now is all
Pennsylvania with the Pens and the
Flyers erasing the res^of the league.
You can erase goalie Patrick Roy's
name from the Montreal scorecard.
In case you missed it a couple of
days ago, he was pulled from a game
and proceeded to scream trade
requests at the Canadiens' general
manager and other Canadien officials
as he left the bench and walked to the
dressing room. Don't look for him to
be manning the pipes in Montreal too
much longer. At press time the
Colorado Avalanche were expressing
interest in Roy.
I stop here to wish everyone a great
holiday season. Merry Christina*
and I hope the grade report doesn't
spoil your egg nog!

New changes are welcomed by students
Chandler, Reinier, Gemmell undergo various improvements
By Christy Sanzari
News Writer
Changes greeted students upon
their return for the spring
semester. These changes took
place at the'Chandler Dining
Hall, Reimer Snack Bar, and the
Gemmell Student Center.
As soon as students step in the
doors of Chandler Dining Hall,
change is evident. The hostess
station was moved to more easily
greet students and line dividers
were added to get students in the
doors and out of the cold
weather. This is just one of the
new ideas of David Henry.
Henry came to Clarion
University as the new Food
Service Director in September of
1995. Henry is enthusiastic about
the changes taking place and is
anxious to put all of his fresh
ideas into effect. Henry wanted
to get away from the "cafeteria-
steak-umms, pizza rolls, soda,
newspapers, and much more.
The front doors of the cafeteria
will remain open until 9:00 p.m.
This enables students with a
meal plan- to use their flex
dollars from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and
off-campus students to use cash
during those hours. Henry plans
to eventually keep the lobby
open until 11 p.m. and provide
various entertainment acts.
Another change has occurred
in the food lines. Framed posters
were purchased from the
university book store to liven up
the walls. 'Deb's Diner' was
modified to look like a "1960's
old-fashioned diner," according
to Henry. The 'Sandwich Shack'
now provides an island-look
while 'Little Italy' was
transformed into an Italian Cafe.
The look includes park benches,
checkered curtains, and
The newly constructed 2GO
characters in the food lines are a
team work approach towards
nutritional awareness. It allows
health conscious students to keep
track of their daily nutritional

look" and go for more of a
"retail-look." This "retail-look"
is perhaps best seen by the new
convenience store in Chandler.
The "2GO D'PO" is an added
convenience for meal-plan
students. Students can purchase
such items as frozen hot pockets,
an expansion to provide more
mannequins also provided by the
Book Center. The 'World's Fare'
which traditionally served only
breakfast, will feature various
entree's from around the world
during dinner time. The 'Nutri-
Team' is another new feature at
the Dining Hall. These new

Henry implemented these new
changes on a low budget. With
the help of his wife, Henry
constructed many things in his
garage. The license plates in the

Seidle of Seidle's Chevrolet.
the collection at no cost. The
coolers and the shelves in the
convenience store were provided
by manufacturers.
Henry's largest focus is on
marketing promotions and
specials such as the tailgate party
during lunch last week.
Henry is open to any
comments or concerns the
students may have. He
encourages the students to voice
their comments by using the
'Reply and Response' boards in
the dining rooms. He also
encourages students to stop in or
call him at 226-2407.
"I hope to get good honest
answers of what students really
want. Without honesty how do
you know where to go," Henry
said. "If you don't like us, tell us
so we can fix it," he added.
Students may have noticed the
changes that have taken place at
the Snack Bar and the Gemmell
Student Center. The Snack Bar
has been extended to allow
students more room. A small
stage has been set-up for
entertainment purposes. David
Tomeo, director of the
University Center, hopes to
alcoholic social gathering for the
college students during the
evening hours.
The once 'cold game-room'
now has a warm effect. The
game room was carpeted and
new lights were added above the
pool tables. Video games were
supplied by a new vendor. Lee
Krull, business manager of the
Clarion Student Association, and
Tomeo were unhappy with the
old vendor because they failed to
provide new games on a regular
basis. New games include the
popular Street Fighter II and
Killer Instinct. Activity at the
game room has picked up 75
percent since the renovations
were made.
The above renovations are
changes the university center has
been planning for two years.
Funding for the projects came
primarily from the auxiliary
support fee; the fee to operate
the student center.
Krull and Tomeo are
enthusiastic about the new
atmosphere and hope the
students take advantage of the
new opportunities that have been
provided for them.

There are many inconveniences
on this campus that we must all
live with, but a major problem at
Clarion is the parking nightmare.
The problem just seems to be get-
ting worse every year.
To my amazement, and proba-
bly yours, Public Safety is not
responsible for the parking prob-
lem at Clarion.
Although they could be a little
more sympathetic when issuing
all the unnecessary parking tick-
ets when you arejust trying to
make it to class on time.
To my disbelief, Clarion has it's
own parking committee that
makes all the rules and sets all
the guidelines for parking.
After extensive research and the
usual administrative run-around,
I was told the Financial Aid
office is responsible for this com-
mittee. What does financial aid
have to do with parking?
When discussing the problem
with administrators and faculty
they all say our problem is small
compared to other schools such
as University of Pittsburgh or
Duquesne.
The fact is many students come
to rural schools to get away from
the hassle of city life.
There are 1,671 parking spots
on our campus. Last semester
Public Safety issued 2,682 park-
ing passes.
Public Safety prides itself on
their policy "A parking pass
gives you the privilege to park on
campus but does not guarantee
you a spot."
In reality you pay $15 for a rear
view mirror decaf and have to
drive around for an hour looking
for a spot.
One administrator that I spoke
with mentioned the possibility of
an underground parking garage
with the newly proposed
Recreation Center.
Although, if the Clarion
University administration would
have got it right the first time
when constructing the 6.5 mil-
lion, four year old Gemmell
Center, we wouldn't have this
problem.
The administrators made a great
slogan for students to "Get a
Life" at Clarion.
Here's one for the administra-
tion, "Get a Clue!"

THE MIGHTY POWER OF
THOUGHT
Walk into any bookstore or thumb
through a book catalog and you will
find shelves and pages devoted to
books listed under 'self-help.' They
include the 'how to' books with such
titles as How to Improve Your
Memory, How to Say it Best, How to
Attract Anyone, Anytime, Anyplace
the list is endless.
Such self-help books are not unique
to the late 20th Century. More than a
hundred years ago, James Allan,
author of From Poverty to Power.
wrote a small booklet called AS A
MAN THINKETH . after the apho-
rism, ''As a man thinketh in his heart
so is he" His point: A person is liter-
ally what he or she thinks; our char-
acter is the sum total of all our
thoughts. Who we are inside is not
a thing of chance or a gift of nature.
It is the result of what we think and

what we do, of the thoughts we have
allowed to be planted into our minds,
and the actions these thoughts have
directed. So we should be very care-
ful of the thoughts we allow to enter
our minds.
Each of us builds our own charac-
ter with thoughts and actions,
whether we act 'deliberately' or
'spontaneously. So anyone who
"searches for identity" by looking at
outside conditions of life,"trying to
find himself," is missing the point
totally. He should look within him-
self, into his own heart or being.We
make or unmake ourselves. "By the
right choice and .true application of
thought," Allen writes, "man ascends
to the Divine Perfection; by the
abuse and wrong application of
thought, he descends below the level
of the beast. Between these two
extremes are all the grades of charac-
ter, and man is their maker and mas-
ter." Allen argues that we make or
shape our own circumstances and
destiny. Allen likens the mind to a
garden. Either we cultivate it, or if
neglected it becomes overgrown
with weeds. As the master-gardener,
each of us by planting the right
thoughts, by weeding out all wrong
and weedy thoughts, bring the fruit
of a harmonious, serene character.
The realization that we are a creative
power leads us to become the rightful
master of ourselves and our destiny.
Our minds attract that which we
secretly desire, what we love and
what we fear (Fear is a bad thought).
"Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad
thoughts bad fruit. . . . Blessedness,
not material possessions, is the mea-
sure of right thought; wretchedness,
not the lack of material possessions,
is the measure of wrong thoughts."
Thoughts, good or bad, have a way
of turning into habits, and habits
solidifying into circumstances.
If we think thoughts of fear, doubt
and indecision, they lead to failure,
dishonesty, and foulness. Beautiful
thoughts of all kinds lead to sunny
circumstances, repose, and peace.
People with sunny, cheerful disposi-
tions are never without friends; they
attract others, wherever they go. To
attract others, let your happiness
radiate! What we think, the thoughts
we put into our heads, also affects
our health. Our bodies respond to
our thoughts. Norman Cousins, in
his book The Anatomy of an Illness,
described in detail how he regained
good health after his physicians had
given up on his serious illness. He
used the power of thought and his
body responded. Sickly, negative
thoughts affect the body in a negative
way. Fear, worry, and anxiety can lay
open the body to the entrance of dis-
ease by destroying the immune sys-
tem. Fear can kill. If a physician tells
a patient that the disease is incurable
and there is no hope, his words can
hasten death.
Courage and determination played
no small role in the survival of Gov.
Robert Casey last year when he
underwent a thirteen-hour operation
in a heart and liver transplant. At this
writing, he is alive and well.
Thoughts of malice, envy, disap-
pointment, and despondency, all lead
to ill health. A sour face does not
come by chance; it is made by sour
thoughts. "There is no physician like
cheerful thought for dissipating the
ills of the body: ... to be cheerful
with all, to find the good in all —
such unselfish thoughts are the very
portals of heaven; . . . (they) will
bring abounding peace to their pos-
sessor." Norman Cousins would
agree.
In his chapter on Thought and
Purpose, Allen explains that thought
must be linked to purpose if we want
to accomplish anything. Otherwise,
we are adrift upon the ocean of life.
Aimlessness must be checked to
avoid distress and worse. With a
central purpose in life, we do not fall
prey to petty worries, fears, troubles,
and self-pitying, sources of failure
and unhappiness. We need to estab-
lish in our minds a legitimate pur-
pose in life and set out to achieve it.
We should keep that purpose at the
central point of our thoughts and
make this our supreme duty.
If you want success in athletic com-
petition, you can achieve it only by
rigorous training, by dedication and
sacrifice.
No athlete is a champion by chance
or luck. If you want to gain control
of your own mind and destiny, the
same rigorous training of your
thoughts, the same dedication and
sacrifice are needed. If you can train
your body to be a champion, can you
not also train your mind or thoughts?
All that we achieve in life, and all
that we fail to achieve, is the direct
result of our own thoughts. Our
weakness and our strength, our puri-
ty and impurity (quaint words in the
present age) are our own, and belong
to no one else. We bring them about
by ourselves. Only we can change
them.
The level of our success in any
undertaking depends upon our com-
mitment and sacrifice. Many young
people have problems with their lives
because they are unwilling to make a
commitment, unwilling to make the
needed sacrifice. This same lack of
commitment is at the root of many
failed marriages. Allen urges us to
dream, to sec high ideals for our-
selves to strive for. We should cher-
ish our ideals, dream lofty dreams
dream, so shall you become." Some
people are said to be gifted, which

READER RESPONSES
"I'm dissatisfied with the way the Snack Bar has treated me."
Dear Editor,
I am writing to you to express
my dissatisfaction with the way
the Gemmell Snack Bar
management has treated me. I
recently asked permission from
the approval office in Gemmell
to display a few concert posters.
The posters were approved
and I asked the gentleman in
charge if I would be able to
display a large poster inside of
the Gemmell Snack Bar doors on
the bulletin board.
He said that the left side of the
board was controlled by the
bookstore and the right side by
the University Activities Board,
and that I would need to seek
permission from one of the two
to use their space.
I proceeded to go to the
bookstore to converse with the
manager. I explained to him that
the bookstore was "in control of
one side and asked for his
permission to display the poster."
He never realized that the
bookstore controlled half of that
bulletin board and said that I was
welcome to use their space. At
that point I displayed. the poster.
The poster was only in display
for approximately two days,
when I realized that it had been
removed.
I approached the Snack Bar
manager and asked why it had
been removed. She told me that
the Snack Bar controlled the
board and only items dealing
with the Snack Bar could be
displayed there.
The next day I entered Gemmell
to eat my usual daily lunch and I
saw other things displayed
there.
There were two different
advertisements displayed and
one was for apartment rentals.
Both approved by a signature
that I had never seen before.
I don't think Gemmell rents
apartments, do they? I feel that
Gemmell was prejudice against
the poster I displayed because it
gave them competition. The
posters were for a concert that
was at Mitchell's Coffee House
in downtown Clarion.
I feel they removed it because
they are always trying to shove
their French Quarter Cafe down
everyone's throats.
I feel they saw this as a threat
to their products, and not as a
public advertisement. Besides, at
Mitchell's you receive quality
entertainment and an excellent
cup of coffee.
Why would the Snack Bar
need a bulletin board anyway?
What is it going to say.
HAMBURGERS ON SALE,
$6.00? What upsets me is the
facilities that we as students
helped to build through our fees
are now being restricted.
The Snack Bar does not only
restrict CERTAIN people from
their bulletin board, but opens at
their convience and not ours.
I do realize that it is my choice
to dine there, but their hours,
especially in the morning, should
accommodate us as students
along with being able tcv display
public information in a very
public place.

Clarion merchants are imposing a minimum credit card purchase
Dear Editor,
My son is a student at Clarion.
Most of his purchases are made
with credit card. On several
occasions he has mentioned that
he has had to purchase additional
items to meet the merchants
"minimum" purchase
requirement. In October he went
to Klingensmith's to purchase
Sudafed, about $6.00, for sinus
problems.
He was told that they required
a minimum purchase of $10.00,
so he bought another item to
make the required purchase.
Since he wasn't feeling well,
what he bought was something
he didn't like and ended up
throwing it out.
I called the 800 number on our
credit card (Master Card) and
asked about the minimum
purchase requirement.
I was told that merchants that
take Master Card are not allowed
to impose a minimum purchase.
They took the information from
me for a complaint against
Klingensmith's.
They even issued a credit for
the other item. I was told that if
enough complaints are filed, the
merchant will loose their Master
Card privileges.
These college students are the
merchants bread and butter. The
work necessary to process a
$2.00 purchase and one for
$200.00 is no different.
I think this would be a good
article for an editorial. I only
contacted Master Card - I don't
know what the policy is for other
credit cards.
I certainly wouldn't advocate
charging a pack of gum, but the
student shouldn't encounter
problems in making a purchase. I
understand that a number of the
merchants in Clarion impose a
minimum purchase requirement.
Sincerely,
Joyce Mattison
People engage in destructive activities when they lose moral respect
Dear Editor:
One development that occurs
when people lose respect for
proper moral reference is that
they engage in activities that are
satisfying to them, but
destructive to life. Without
respect given to proper moral
reference, people collectively are
extremely destructive to life.
Perhaps you can relate what I am
saying to aviation.
Without proper respect given
to instruments, I have heard that
a pilot may not know whether he
is flying right-side up or upside
down. Moral reference serves the
same purpose to society as
instruments do to pilots. Moral
reference is required to control
the intentions of people. It is not
directly to be used in controlling
their individual actions. It is
intentions, not actions of people
that moral reference influences.
Today, only reckless or naive
people trust the intentions of
others.
Nobody is totally trustworthy
anymore. This is evident by the
presence of exploitation in
society.
People are demonstrating
intention to benefit at one
another's expense. People
respond to systematic influence
in developing their values. They
watch television in mass and
develop ideas of normalcy from
viewing television. Television
shows people what to believe
and how to act. Our present
culture is very much a product of
television. But television serves
no purpose than to bring
financial returns into
corporations.
The people controlling our
culture are driven exclusively by
profit motive. Our culture is
therefore an accidental creation
resulting from the profit
maximizing decisions of
television executives. This is a
new development in all of
history. Prior to television, our
culture was created by a myriad
of factors many of which had
nothing to do with making
money. We entered a new era of
existence when television was
introduced.
Today, a business executive is
offered the proposition to pay
money for advertising time on
television and as a consequence
AUTOMATICALLY increase
sales.
Business executives are
dramatically changing people's
values with advertising dollars.
Our society is being dramatically
impacted daily by what amounts
to brainwashing in order to allow
businesses to maximize profit
through television advertising.
OUR COUNTRY IS OUT OF
CONTROL! An unprecedented
crisis is present. There is nobody
other than myself having the
intention to protect society's
long lasting survival. Everybody
but myself has a more
"exploitative intention toward
society. To change the subject, I
would like to inform you that our
country's stock market is almost
completely controlled by people
having the morals of apes of
Africa. The market which
crashed as I predicted in writing
in 1986, has been secretly
propped up by wealthy world
interests. The market is NOT
REAL.
The stock market is controlled
through use of future market
contracts. The future markets
offer the leveridge to
manipulators that they need in
order to control the market. But
they also need control of
powerful components of the
"free press".
If economists like myself were
allowed to be published, their
efforts to control our country's
economic welfare would be
compromised. Our country is in
trouble due to the prolonged
deficit spending by the federal
government. Our country is a
much, much poorer nation than
people currently realize. This is
why it is felt necessary by
irresponsible people for the stock
market to be artificially propped
up, and economists such as
myself be censored. Currently,
extremely irresponsible
Americans combined with
foreigners having exploitative
intentions toward American
society and have dominant
control of our country's affairs.
Consequently, our country is
being destined to suffer
devastating problems in the
future. It is my wish for
responsible college students to
grasp these simply stated facts.
Sincerely,
Joe Kinney

Attorney wants skinhead trial moved
The attorney for a teen-ager charged with helping two skinhead
cousins kill their parents and brother argued Tuesday that the high-
profile trial should be moved. "The publicity has been so
pervasive and unrelenting," said Richard Makoul, attorney for
Nelson "Ben" Birdwell III. "I feel in this area everybody has an
opinion on this case." Prosecutors allege Birdwell, 18, along with
David and Bryan Freeman, stabbed and beat to death Dennis and
Brenda Freeman and their 11 -year-old son, Erik, in their suburban
Allentown home. The brothers pleaded guilty last year in the Feb.
26 killings and were sentenced to life in prison. Makoul said he
also argued there should be no mention of the skin-head leanings
of the Freeman brothers. "It's so inflammatory," he said. "It's not
relevant. It certainly wasn't a motive for the killing."
Indictment handed down in ATM plot
"A bartender told a bank employee how to hide tens of
thousands of stolen dollars on his body and eventually was going
to help the man change his appearance", a federal grand jury said.
"The jury on Tuesday accused Sami Masri, a 38-year-old native of
Jordan, of conspiracy and aiding in bank embezzlement," U.S.
Attorney Fred Thieman said. Masri, of Pittsburgh, was arrested
Dec. 16 at JFK International Airport in New York. Prosecutors
said he received $440,000 from the scheme to defraud Mellon
Bank of $ 1.19 million last fall. Masri and Sean Hitchman, a 27-
year-old Mellon employee, plotted the theft of money that
Hitchman was supposed to load onto automated teller machines in
suburban Pittsburgh last Sept. 14 and Sept. 15.
Ridge to call special disaster session
Gov. Tom Ridge and top lawmakers agreed Tuesday to hold a
special session of the Legislature to address the weather disaster
that has devastated many Pennsylvania communities. "We all
agree that the time for us to pull together and to act together and to
plan together for the recovery is now," Ridge said.With legislative
leaders from the House and Senate flanking him, Ridge said they
also agreed to seek more federal aid through a resolution
lawmakers will sign this week.
Investigator: was front for scam
WASHINGTON - The savings and loan owned by die Clintons'
Whitewater partners was rife with sham real estate transactions. A
Bank examiner Jatnes' Clark testified that Madison Guaranty
Savings & Loan "was obtaining cash in what amounted to a
pyramid scheme." Focusing on a real estate development south of
Little Rock called Castle Grande, Senate Whitewater Committee
Republicans exhibited charts ouUining the purchase and sale of the
1,050-acre tract in 1986 -a series of transactions that ultimately
cost taxpayers nearly $4 million.
With the law firm of first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton
representing the S&L and preparing some documents for the
purchase of Castle Grande, the acquistion was financed entirely
with Madison Guaranty funds. The Clintons' Whitewater partner,
James McDougal, and Little Rock businessman Seth Ward bought
die property, then immediately sold 600 acres of the land, along
with a sewer and water utility on it, to half a dozen buyers,
including several people employed by the S&L. The price: $3.2
million

Letters to
the Editor Cont .
"Injustice anywhere was a threat to justice everywhere"
Dear Editor,
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr., said that injustice anywhere was
a threat to justice everywhere. He
said this about segregation and
discrimination: Let us never
succumb to the temptation of
believing that legislation and judicial
decrees play only a minor role in
solving this problem, Morality
cannot be legislated, but behavior
can be regulated. Judicial decrees
may not change the heart, but they
can be restrain the heartless."
(Quotation from Strength to Love)
What might Dr. King have said
about our current treatment of the
immature members of our species?
Dr. King devoted his life to
opposing the choice to discriminate
on the basis of race.
But one week after his birthday we
observe the anniversary of the Roe
V. Wade decision, which freed us to
choose to discriminate fatally on the
basis of "wantedness", physical
maturity appearance, sex, health,
dependence, sentience, parentage, or
any other criterion, including race, if
it is done before birth.
Are these criteria any less arbitrary
or subjective than race? By what
logic shall we choose criteria for
excluding others from the protection
of the human community?
What does the acceptance of such
criteria for destruction say about the
content of our character?
Sincerely,
Alfred Lemmo

which accounts for their success.
But their 'gifts' are the fruits of
dedication and well-directed effort
and sacrifice. The vision that you

that is the center of your longing —
this will build your life and shape
what you are to become.
James Allen closes his booklet
with a chapter on serenity, the
calmness of mind and evenness of
temperament that is the result of
patient effort and self-control. In
this era of "doing your own thing,"
an era in which many of us seek
instant gratification stimulated by
our popular culture with its

and entertainment, an era with ever
shorter attention spans, the idea of
self-control or self-discipline seems
out of date, perhaps an impractical
Victorian notion of no use.
On the contrary, it is only through
self-control, self-discipline,
dedication, and sacrifice that great
achievement is made. Without these,
it is usually short lived, ending in
self-indulgence, dissipation, or
worse. Is Elvis Presley an example?
Learning to understand ourselves as
thought-evolved human beings, we
achieve a measure of internal
calmness; we cease to worry and
grieve, to fuss and fume, and remain
poised, steadfast, serene. The state
of serenity, with life in balance, is
more to be desired than great wealth.
Serene persons radiate to those who
surround them. We say they live
charmed lives, but it is their serenity
that charms us.
Since James Allen wrote more than
a century ago, the copyrights have
expired and his books are in the
public domain. They appear in
various editions. At a time when
many people seek to re-establish
enduring human values in our
society, could his writings find
resonance in our own lives today?

Weekly Political
Update
By Todd Eberfy
What a difference a month can
make. Just a few short weeks
ago, the polls and the pundits all
seemed to paint favorable
images of President Clinton and
his chief rival Senate Majority
Leader Bob Dole. Well in to the
second government shutdown in
as many months, both men were
enjoying a resurgence in public
opinion polls. A USA
Today/CNN/Time Gallup Poll
taken in December showed that
President Clinton's job approval
rating had risen to 51 percent
favorable and 44 percent
unfavorable. This was one of the
only few times that the
president's favorable rating rose
above 50 percent.
This same poll showed that
Senator Dole's job approval
rating had risen to 60 percent.
These numbers fueled the belief
that the 1996 election would
definitely be a face off between
the two. The December poll
indicated that if this were to
happen, President Clinton would
receive 49 percent of the vote to
Dole's 44 percent.
Well its a new year and it looks
like a new race. President
Clinton's job approval has
slipped to 42 percent and his
disapproval rating has risen to 49
percent. The president's State of
the Union message seems to
have done very little to help
improve his current situation.
Another USA Today/CNN/Time
Gallup Poll taken after the
speech showed that 52 percent of
those surveyed believe that
Clinton doesn't deserve to be re-
elected. The situation seems
even more grim for Bob Dole.
The GOP response that Senator
Dole delivered following the
State of the Union address was
received quite poorly, especially
among Republicans who fear
Dole is not as comfortable with
the television age as Clinton is.
Dole is also losing ground to
Steve Forbes, who now appears
to be the only true rival to Dole
for the Republican Nomination.
The latest Pew Research Center
Poll taken in New Hampshire
showed Forbes leading Dole, 29
percent to 24 percent.
In Arizona, Forbes leads Dole
39 percent to 26 percent. If this
wasn't depressing enough to
Senator Dole, a recent CNN poll
showed that Forbes fared better
against President Clinton in a
one on one match-up. All of this
clearly indicates the 1996
campaign will be anything but
boring.

Plans for president's new residence approved
Courtesy of University
Relations
Clarion has received authority
to construct President Reinhard
new residence.
It will be funded by the State
System of Higher Education
(SSHE) reserves.
Don Sheaffer, State System
director of facilities manage-
ment, outlined the status of the
project at the latest meeting of
the Clarion University Council of
Trustees meeting.
On July 1, 1993, according to
Mr. Shaeffer, the State System
Board of Governors adopted a
policy allowing allocations from
the State System reserves for ren-
ovation, expansion, and new con-
struction of presidential housing.
In June 1994, the Board of
Governors approved construction
of a new president's residence in
Clarion.
Mr. Shaeffer also noted the State
System funds these projects
because they are assets.
The new residence will be con*
structed by existing and tempo-
rary university employees.
Construction experience was
gained by two building and reno-
vation projects, the admissions
office and central services locat-
ed on Wood Street.
This convinced university and
State System officials that local
construction authority could
increase savings and allow con-
struction within the $650,000
allotted for the project.
A design competition sponsored
by the state system and reviewed
by several committees deter-
mined the design for the new res-
idence.
The three-story, 5,500 square
foot structure will be located
behind Still Hall and will include
living quarters and areas for
meetings and other administra-
tive functions, according to Mr.
Schaeffer and Heather
Haberaecker, vice president for
finance and administration.
Architectural designs are
expected to be completed within
three and a half months.
The construction is projected for
a six to eight month time frame.
Dr. Haberaecker concluded, "
We gained significant construc-
tion management experience
with recent projects and that,
coupled with an outstanding and
talented workforce, will allow us
to construct the residence using
university and temporary
employees from the surrounding
area."
During the last meeting of the
Clarion University Council of
Trustees, there was also an unan-
imous decision to name the
Faculty Senate meeting room in
Hart Chapel, as the Enid Dennis
Faculty Senate Room.
The room is named in memory
of the late Dr. Dennis, a former
professor of the economics
department who died in a tragic
automobile accident in the spring
of 1995.
Special resolutions of apprecia-
tion were approved for three for-
mer trustee members whose
terms expired.
They are Brian Hoover of
Fredonia, Lucille Tabler of Oil
City, and Dr. Dana Still.
Hoover's replacement will be
Oleta Amsler of Clarion.
In attendance at the last meet-
ing were Dr. Syed R. Ali-Zaidi of
Shippenville, Oleta Amsler of
Clarion, Michael Keefer of
Summerville RR2, Kim Kesner
of Clearfield, Joseph Harvey of
Oil City, John Drayer of Clarion
RD1, and Fred Mcllhattan of
Knox.

Trustees is scheduled for
Wednesday, March 20, at 7 p.m.
in Carrier Hall.

Universit y master plan outlined for Clarion U
Courtesy of University
Relations
A two - year master planning
process for the development of a
facilities master plan was dis-
cussed at last Wednesday night's
meeting of the Clarion University
Council of Trustees. The entire
university is expected to be
involved in the process.
Dr. Heather Haberaecker, vice
president for finance and admin-
istration, explained that a univer-
sity master plan is being devel-
oped to help the development of
the university and to meet
requirements set by' the State
System of Higher Education.
Some of the technical products
a University Master Plan pro-
vides are information and restric-
tions on land use, exterior light-
ing plans, building environmen-
tal surveys, and landscape plans.
Certain components of the plan
will pertain specifically to our
university with the initiation of a
new vehicular-pedestrian circula-
tion plan, various telecommuni-
cations and emergency informa-
tion systems plans, and plans for
recreation pertaining to the vision
of a new recreation center on
campus.
The university's Facilities
Planning Committees began the
necessary planning last year for
the development of a facilities
master plan," said Haberaecker. "
With an ever-changing environ-
ment, it is recognized that build-
ing will need to become more
adaptable in order for faculty and
staff to do their jobs. The devel-
of a facilities' master plan for
Clarion is expected to result in
the complete assessment of our
facilities utilization and depart-
mental needs and will provide
specific products which will
enable the facilities management
staff to operate in a more effi-
cient manner."

Trustees approve new majors
Courtesy of University
Relations
Clarion students now have more
choices when deciding on a
course of study. The Clarion
University Council of Trustees as
approved three new programs at
their last meeting.
The programs will now be
admitted to the State System of
Higher Education (SSHE) for
approval.
Upon approval, the university
will be offering a Certified
Occupational Therapy Assistant
(COTA) program, a bachelor of
science degree in environmental
geoscience, and a new minor in
environment and society.
The COTA program will pre-
pare students for work in rehabil-
itative service fields. Courses
will include studies of the nature
of human exceptionalities,
human development, and the use
of techniques to restore indepen-
dence through activity.
Upon completion of this pro-
gram, students will be eligible to
take the National Certification
Examination for Occupational
Therapy Assistant, administered
by the American Occupational
Therapy Certification Board
pending program accreditation.
Currently, a faculty member has
been hired to advise the program.
The program will focus on exist-
ing courses in the ciriculum.
The bachelor of science degree
in environmental geoscience will
prepare students for work as
research or applied technicians in
the environmental sciences. The
major will consist of the environ-
mental focus on geology. There
will be three specialized "tracks"
available students in this major:
hydrology, surface geology, and
atmospheric science.
A program that blends the study
of all three tracks will also be
available -to students not wishing
to specialize. The demand for
graduates in this field will allow
for careers in industry, consult-
ing, and in government agencies
at all levels.
The major will incorporate
existing courses and new courses
of study.
The minor in environment and
society is designed to create a
learning community that will
allow students to study environ-
mental concerns and challenges.
For non-science majors, the
minor presents an opportunity to
gain knowledge of the scientific
and technical factors underlying
key environmental issues.
For science majors, the minor
offers a chance to explore social
sciences and the humanities from
a view of environmental science
disciplines. The minor will also
be composed of existing courses.
The proposal is being exam-
ined by the Board of Governors
for the state of Pennsylvania. If
approved, the programs will be
effective as soon as Fall 1996.

Financial Aid dates announced for year
Courtesy of Financial Aid
Office
Kenneth Grugel, Director of
Financial Aid, announced that aid
applications for the 1996-1997
school year are now available in
the Office of Financial Aid locat-
ed in room 104 Egbert Hall.
All students, regardless if they
are Pennsylvania residents or not,
must complete the Free
Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA).
This form will allow the feder-
al government to determine stu-
dents' need for federal grants and
loans.
Student employment applica-
tions for the summer sessions and
will be sent to campus supervi-
sors in March.
Applications for the fall and
spring semesters will be sent to
the supervisors. in April.
All students who wish to apply
for Federal Stafford Loans for the
upcoming academic year, should
request a loan application from
their local bank after May 1,
1996.
Current borrowers should be
sure to request their loan applica-
tions from the same lender that
they utilized in prior year(s).
Grugel also emphasized how
important it is for financial aid
recipients to maintain satisfacto-
ry academic progress at the uni-
versity.
Both grant and loan recipients
must complete a minmum of 24
new credit hours over the course
of an academic year (fall and
spring semesters) in order to
maintain their eligibility for their
financial aid.
Loan recipients should complete
32 credit hours each year if they
progress to their next academic
grade level (remember: freshmen
can borrow $2625, sophomores
can borrow $3500 and both
juniors and seniors can borrow
up to $5500 per academic year).
The term "new credits" refers to
credits earned from classes never
before attempted by students.
Students may choose to attend
summer school in order to earn
additional credits, but they
should realize that there is a pos-
sibility that they may not receive
sufficient financial aid to cover
all of their summer school
expenses.
To avoid this potential problem,
students can enroll for 16 new
credits each semester. This
allows them to both maintain sat-
isfactory academic progress and
progress to their next grade level
in a timely manner.
The aid office staff also checks
students' records to ensure that
they are maintaining a minmum
grade point average of 2.0 once
they have earned at least 64 cred-
its.
Students who have questions
regarding their potential eligibili-
ty for the various financial aid
programs should coctact the
Office of Financial Aid at 226-
2315. The office is open from
8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00
p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mon. through
Fri.

Due to a glitch in the campus
Mat Dubinett/Rotaract
Last December, members of the Rotoract participated in a program set up by the K-Mart
Good News Committee to provide gifts for needy children. With over 20 members, the
Rotaract, a student organization that is affiliated with the Rotary Club of Clarion, PA, has
been involved with numerous community service activities. From left to right: Michelle
Slye, Julie Rodgers, Jessica Blose, Jim Kinney(manage, Clarion K-Mart), Amy Shuler, and
Marcia Shaffer.
phone system that went undetect-
ed for almost two years, SIU stu-
dents were able to bypass their
long distance code number and
ring up a $1.1 million bill.
Now the university is mak-
ing students pay for their mis-
deeds, and threatening to prose-
cute if they don't. Even on a col-
lege campus, phone fraud is a
felony, punishable by a fine or
jail time.
The glitch was discovered
last summer when a new director
noticed that the phone bill was
"quite extraordinary," said Sam
Smith, a university spokesperson.
Bills that should normally be in
the range of $4,000 a month had
skyrocketed to as much as
$175,000.
Two staff members who han-
dled the bills apparently were so
alarmed by the magnitude of the
bills coming in . . . that they were
not paying invoices," Smith said.
'They also failed to report the
problem to their superiors."
An investigation was imme-
diately launched by the school
and the police department.
In December, the news was
out: not only had the school
caught on to the phone scam, but
all the calls had been traced back
to the students who made them
through a cross-referencing sys-
tem.
For some students, that
meant they owed bills anywhere
from $10 to $500. For others,
especially international students,
the bills climbed into the thou-
sands of dollars.
At least one individual has a
$40,000 bill, Smith said. Many
calls were to Europe, South
America - , even Asia.
According to some reports,
as many as three-fourths of the
2,700 students living on campus
had taken advantage of the faulty
phone system over the two-year
period. Now they have until Feb.
29 to acknowledge the bills that
they owe and arrange to make
payment, Smith said.
The response on campus has
been excellent," he said. Many
students have stepped forward to
pay their bill.
But some students are not
taking the bad news lightly.
'I think most people are pret-
ty mad about it," said Amber
Peters, a sophomore who works
in the campus leadership center.
The school deserves some of the
blame, she said.
"How can the university go
so long and not know, then come
back and say we messed up and
now we have to pay for it?" she
said.
Peters lived in a campus dor-
mitory last year and knows about
30 people who used the number,
reportedly one for credit-card .

Admissions staff starts recruitment for fall
Increased faculty involvement
by Matthew Geesey
News Editor
The task of recruitment of
incoming freshmen has begun
again for the Clarion University
admissions staff.
An increase of faculty involve-
ment will be the focus for a
strong promotional drive that will
try to reach the same enrollment
numbers that were achieved last
fall.
Clarion University had an
increase of 4% in enrollment of
undergraduate students.
The increase placed Clarion
University at the top of the list
among the schools that are
included in the State System of
Higher Education (SSHE).
Concern was expressed at last
Monday's Faculty Senate meet-
ing when a representative from
the subcommittee on admissions
reported on the supposed lack of
faculty participation in last fall's
admissions process.
This fall, increased involvement
all around will be expected.
WCUC's DJ
Training will
begin on
Thursday, Feb.
8th at 6 pm in

Mr. John Shropshire, Dean of
Enrollment Management at the
admissions office, feels that this
fall's enrollment should be the
same number as last fall's if not
more. A combined work effort
between the admissions staff and
the faculty will be arranged.
Plans as such have not pro-
gressed as efficiently as has been
the plan. Since 1979, an enroll-
ment plan as been established
that has distributed duites of
admissions between the admis-
sions staff and faculty.
Each year, the total effort has
been better, but a lot of work still
has to be done.
This year, more programs are
being developed by the the facul-
ty to recruit incoming freshmen
for current academic depart-
ments. A combined package of
direct "mail and open houses held
by the various colleges has been
initiated to aid in this recruit-
ment.
Currently, it is not uncommon
for a department chair to call
incoming freshmen who want to
become a student in their depart-
ment and take them or their fam-
ilies out for dinner much as an
athletic department would do for
an incoming athelete. This will
continue to be a common practice
this fall.
After the enrollment process is
finished, there will be continued
involvment between faculty and
Cont. from page 5
The university is currently
negotiating a contract for master
planning services with a firm
selected out of 25 firms who
submitted proposals, including
students as their semester pro-
gresses.
This involves the cooperation
between academic advisors and
department heads to check on a
student's progress and try to
make him or her feel like a part of
Clarion University.
Mr. Shropshire does foresee
some problems in the future,
though.
Currently, a representation from
the western part of Pennsylvania
has decreased from the student
bodies of SSHE schools. More
impact will be placed this fall on
areas such as Pittsburgh and
other cities that have given more
high school graduates to our
institution.
There has also been a major
decline in out-of-state recruits.
This is due in part to a major
increase in tuition for out-of-state
students. Hopefully, through a
bigger emphasis on other states,
the admissions staff can improve
the number of out-of-state stu-
dents.
Mr. Shropshire does remain
very optimistic about this year's
enrollment.
He feels that Clarion University
has a very high academic rating
among other SSHE schools and
increased support by Clarion
University alumni should place
Clarion University in the red in
the area of enrollment again this
fall.

planning firms in the country.

LOSE 20 POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS
Famous U.S^ Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet
This diet has been featured in SPORTS ILLUSTRATED magazine!
During the non-snow off season the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team members
used the "Ski Team" diet to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. Thafs right - 20 pounds in
1 4 days! The basis of the diet is chemical food action and was devised by a famous
Colorado physician especially for the U.S. Ski Team. Normal energy is maintained
(very important!) while reducing. You keep "full"- no starvation - because the diet is
designed that way. It's a diet that is easy to follow whether you work, travel or stay at
home.
This is, honestly, a fantastically successful diet. If it weren't, the U.S.
Women's Alpine Ski Team wouldn't be permitted to use it! Right? So, give yourself the
same break the U.S. Ski Team gets. Lose weight the scientific , proven way. Even if
you've tried all the other diets, you owe it to yourself to try the U.S. Women's Alpine
Ski Team Diet. That is, if you really do want to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. Order
today! Tear this out as a reminder.
Send only $8.95 ($9.60 in Calif.)-add .50 cents RUSH service to: American
Institute, 721 E. Main Street, Dept. 254, Santa Maria, CA 93454-4507. Don't order
unless you expect to lose 20 pounds in two weeks! Because that's what the Ski
Team Diet will do. ©1995

Spotlight on Faculty
Music Professors Invited to Perform in Hawaii
Courtesy of Dr. Lisa Johnson
Professor of Music
Two Clarion University music
faculty were busy over Christmas
break preparing a demo record-
ing of an exciting collaborative
composition project which is to
be performed at an exotic locale
this March. Lisa Johnson and
Brent Register, both Associate
Professors of Music, have been
invited to compose and perform a
musical score to accompany a
dance/theater production at the
University of Hawaii (Honolulu)
for a week in March. The invita-
tion was extended by- University
of Hawaii's Peggy Hunt, a chore-
ographer and dance professor,
who has written, along with a
colleague, an original children's
drama production entitled "The
Dragon's Quest." This clever
project includes dancers in ani-
mal costume with original masks,
as well as human characters por-
traying voyaging children who
travel through magical lands to
obtain secrets and universal
truths.
Lisa Johnson and Brent
Register were invited to prepare
music to accompany the hour-
long production, and they are
busy at work doing just this.
They begin by creating a combi-
nation of synthesized sounds and
then overdub acoustic instru-
ments, which are recorded on
separate tracks. The result is a
unique mixture of sampled natur-
al sounds and standard musical
instruments. The
performer/composers will play
the music they created at the per-
formances in Hawaii, which will
be held in an outdoor ampithe-
ater, with enough performances
to accomodate the 3,000 students
and general audience who will be
attending. Johnson and Register
will perform on flutes, oboe, sax-
ophone, guitar, percussion, and
will be accompanied by their pre-
pared synthesizer music and a
drummer from Hawaii, who will
perform on conga drums. About
the process Dr. Johnson says, "I
am really surprised how exten-
sive a project this has become,
but it is a lot of fun and very
exciting. After coming up with
the plan for the particular piece
of music, it takes about 2 to 3
hours for each minute of music to
record, mix, and edit. So this
really is about 'process,' and not
just the end result."
This project comes about as a
special invitation from Dr. Hunt
at the Universsity of Hawaii, and
is supported by a grant from the
College of Arts and Sciences at
Clarion.
Register and Johnson add this

Hawaii project to an already full
schedule. In addition to his
teaching schedule, Register is
performing with several sym-
phonies in Pennsylvania. He was
appointed as principal oboist of
the Altoona Symphony Orchestra
During the 95-96 season the ASO
will perform eight classical/pops
concerts featuring international
celebrities as guest artists. In
addition, he serves as the solo
English hornist with the Nittany
Valley Symphony in State
College. On December 5 he was
guest soloist with the NVS per-
The Swan ofTuonela..
Brent has been appointed as a
music reviewer for the
International Double Reed
Society. As part of this responsi-
bility, he reviews new editions of
oboe music from various publish-
ers. His articles appear every
three months in the IDRS Journal
and The Double Reed.
Johnson was a presenter at the
International Clarinet
Association annual conference
last July in Tempe, Arizona. She
is currently on the roster of
speakers for the Pennsylvania
resenting Clarion University with
her two talks: "Music Education
in MID-Life Crisis," and
"Hearing the 21st Century
through 19th Century Ears."
Both Johnson and Register are
active in the National Flute
Association. They performed
this past summer at the national
flute convention in Orlando,
Florida. In addition, Register
has been invited to perform on
alto flute with a NFA flute choir
this coming summer on a tour to
Ireland. The tour, from May 16-
28, includes performances in
Listowel, Galway, Dublin, Cork
and Killarney.- He will also be
conducting some of the perfor-
mances.
As the two faculty members
who comprise the woodwinds
area of the music department,
Register and Johnson also travel
to schools with a half-hour pre-
pared program, to touch the inter-
est of music students in the
schools. They play flutes, clar-
inet, oboe and bassoon, saxo-
phone, and piano in these mini-
concerts, and answer student
questions about careers in the
various music fields. Register
and Johnson have presented these
programs in both local schools
and as far away as Indiana (PA)
and the Pittsburgh area.

Need a productive way to relieve
that after-class stress? If this
sounds like you, read on.
Beginning this semester,
Clarion University welcomes
Doug Knepp as the new intra-
mural/recreational director.
Bringing with him, among other
things, is a newly expanded intra-
mural roster including 20 events
which Knepp feels will benefit
the entire student body. Knepp
wants to offer a variety of activi-
ties for all interests as well as
provide a competitive yet fun
environment. Knepp also hopes
to be able to begin utilizing
Clarion area natural resources for
such possible activities as hiking,
canoeing, and biking at Cook
campus. This committee would
discuss student input on such
important issues as the upcoming
vote to approve possible con-
struction of the new recreation
center at Clarion University.
Knepp feels that student partici-
pation and input is extremely
important and hopes to get stu-
dent interest at an "all time high."
Anyone interested in intramur-
al activities can find complete
information and registration
sheets located on the intramural/
recreational bulletin board across
from Room 117 in Tippin Gym.
Registration forms may be

Headline...by Dave Barry
I am pleased to report that the
scientific community has finally
stopped wasting time on the ori-
gins of the universe and started
dealing with the important ques-
tion, which is: Are lobsters real-
ly just big insects?
I have always maintained that
they are. I personally see no sig-
nificant difference between a lob-
ster and, say, a giant Madagascar
hissing cockroach, which is a
type of cockroach that grows to
approximately the size of
William Howard Taft (1857-
1930). If a group of diners were
sitting in a nice restaurant and the
waiter were to bring them each a
freshly killed, steaming-hot
Madagascar hissing cockroach,
they would not put on silly bibs
and eat it with butter. No they
would run, retching, directly
from the restaurant to the All-
Nite Drive-Thru Lawsuit Center.
And yet these very same people
will pay $24.95 apiece to eat a
lobster, despite the fact that it dis-
plays all three of the classic lob-
ster biological characteristics of
an insect, namely:
1. It has way more legs than
necessary.
2. There is no way you would
ever pet it
It does not respond to simple
commands such as, "Here, boy!"
I do not eat lobsters, although I
once had a close call. I was visit-
ing my good friends Tom and Pat
Schroth, who live in Maine (state
motto: "Cold, But Damp").
Being generous and hospitable
people, Tom and Pat went out
and purchased, as a special treat
for me, the largest lobster in the
history of the Atlantic Ocean, a
lobster that had probably been
responsible for sinking many
commercial vessels before it was
finally apprehended by nuclear
submarines. This lobster was big
enough to feed a coastal Maine
village for a year, and there it
was, sprawling all over my plate,
with scary insectoid legs and eye-
balls shooting out in all different
directions, while Tom and Pat,
my gracious hosts, smiled happi-
ly at me, waiting for me to put
this thing in my mouth.
Remember when you were a
child, and your mom wouldn't let
you leave the dinner table until
you ate all your Brussel's sprouts,
and so you took your fork and
mashed them into smaller and
smaller pieces in hopes of even-
tually reducing them to individ-
ual Brussers-sprout molecules
that would be absorbed into the
atmosphere and disappear? That
was similar to the approach I
took with the giant lobster.
"Mmmm-MMMM!" I said,
hacking away at the thing on my
plate, and when nobody was
looking, concealing my pieces
under my dinner roll, in the salad,
in my napkin, anywhere I could
find.
Tom and Pat: I love you dearly,
and if you should even have an

electrical problem that turns out
to be caused by a seven-pound
wad of old lobster pieces stuffed
into the dining room wall socket,
I am truly sorry.
Anyway, my point is that lob-
sters have long been suspected,
by me at least, of being closet
insects, which is why I was very
pleased recently when my alert
journalism colleague Steve Doig
referred me to an Associated
Press article concerning a disco v-

ery by scientists at the University
of Wisconsin. The article, head-
lined GENE LINKS SPIDERS
AND FLIES TO LOBSTERS,
states that not only do lobsters,
flies, spiders, millipedes, etc.,
contains THE EXACT SAME
GENE, but they also are all
descended from a single common
ancestor: Howard Stern.
No, seriously, the article states
that the ancestor "probably was a
wormlike creature." Yum! Fetch
the melted butter.!
And that is not all. According
to articles sent in by alert readers
(this was on the FRONT PAGE
of the New York Times), scien-
tists in Denmark recently discov-
ered that some lobsters have a
weird little pervert organism liv-
ing ON THEIR LIPS. Yes. I did-
n't even know that lobsters HAD
lips, but it turns out that they do,
and these lips are the stomping
ground of a tiny creature called
"Symbion Pandora" (literally, "a
couple of Greek words"). The
zoology community, which does
not get out a lot, is extremely
excited about Symbion Pandora,
because it reproduces differently
from all other life forms.
According to various articles,
when Symbion Pandora is ready
to have a baby, its digestive sys-
tem "collapses and is reconstitut-
ed into a larva," which the parent
then gives birth to by "extruding"
it from its "posterior." In other
words — correct me if I am
wrong here — this thing basical-
ly reproduces by pooping.
So to summarize: If you're
looking for a hearty entree that
(1) is related to spiders; (2) is
descended from a worm; and (3)
has mutant baby-poopers walk-
ing around on its lips; then you
definitely want a lobster. I myself
plan to continue avoiding them,
just as I avoid oysters, which are
clearly — scientists should look
into this next — members of the
phlegm family. Have you ever
seen oysters reproduce? Neither
have I, but I would not be sur-
prised to learn that the process
involves giant undersea nostrils.
AND don't get me started on
clams. Recently I sat across from
a person who was deliberately
eating clams; she'd open up a
shell, and there, in plainview,
would be this stark naked clam,
brazenly showing its organs, like
a high-school biology experi-
ment. My feeling is that if a
restaurant is going to serve those
things, it should put little loin-
cloths on them.
I believe that Mother Nature
gave us eyes because she did not
want us to eat this type of food.
Mother Nature clearly intended
for us to get our food from the
"patty" group, which includes
hamburgers, fishf Sticks and
McNuggete — ftxxfc that have
had all of their organs safely
removed someplace far away,
such as Nebraska. That is where
I stand on this issue, and if any
qualified member of the lobster,
clam or phlegm-in-a-shell indus-
try wishes to present a rebuttal, I
hereby extend this offer: Get

LEAD STORY
•Latest Nicotine Urges:
Connecticut inmate Frank W.
Banks, assigned to a no-smoking
prison, was convicted in
December of mailing harassing
letters to a judge. Banks said he
thought threats via the U.S. mail
would cause him to be sent to a
federal prison, where he could
smoke. And in November, three
stranded Alaska hunters radioing
for help claimed they had been
without food for three days so the
rescue would be treated as an
emergency, actually, they had a
week's worth of food with them
but panicked because they had
run out of cigarettes.
THE ENTREPRENEURIAL
SPIRIT
•The owners of a new Chevron
gas station in Oakhurst, Calif.,
received an official blessing by
their neighbor, Catholic Cardinal
Roger M. Mahony of Los
Angeles, which included the
pumps, a snack area and an
advertisement for Marlboros.
And earlier in the month, Father
Matvei of the Russian Orthodox
Church blessed the $30 million
expansion of the Coca-Cola plant
in Moscow.
• The New.YprJc Times repojtGdm,
in December that a patent had
recently been granted to Jeffrey
Holden of Humble; Texas, for a
decoy to ward off burglars. The
device is simply a face mask of a
person holding open a shutter or
blind and peering out (The face
appears to have limited utility
because, unlike time-controlled
house lights, the face never
moves until the owner takes it
down.
•In December, magazine sales-
man Samuel A. Erby, 20, was
charged in Euless, Texas, with
assault after he attacked an 88-
year-old woman, reportedly
because she had just declined to
buy a subscription from him. And
in June in Fort Collins, Cob., a
22-year-old man working in his
yard suffered a similar fate when
he declined to buy a subscription
from a Denver salesman.
• In October, the Alexandria
(La.) Daily Town Talk reported
that Sheriff Bill Belt and Judge
Michael Johnson own telephone
businesses that give each a cut
every time prisoners in several
local jails make calls from pay
phones. According to the news-
paper, the judge made $85,000
from Avoyelles Parish jail calls
last year, and the sheriff has sim-
ilar contracts with the jails in
seven parishes.
•Among products recently
brought to market: sandals, hand-
bags and accessories under the A
Bomb label, from Tokyo's Mode
et Jacomo (whose public rela-
tions director said she thought M A
Bomb," in English, signified
"cute"); the Peace Missile golf
club and companion putter, made'

tion, which is: Are lobsters real-
ly just big insects?
1 have always maintained that
tltey are. I personally see no sig-
nificant difference between a lob-
ster and, say, a giant Madagascar
hissing cockroach, which is a
type of cockroach that grows to
approximately the size of
William Howard Taft (1857-
1930). If a group of diners were
sitting in a nice restaurant and the
waiter were to bring them each a
freshly killed, steaming-hot
Madagascar hissing cockroach,
they would not put on silly bibs
and eat it with butter. No they
would run, retching, directly
from the restaurant to the All-
Nite Drive-Thru Lawsuit Center.
And yet these very same people
will pay $24.95 apiece to eat a
lobster, despite the fact that it dis-
plays all three of the classic lob-
ster biological characteristics of
an insect, namely:
1. It has way more legs than
necessary.
2. There is no way you would
ever pet it.
It does not respond to simple
commands such as, "Here, boy!"
I do not eat lobsters, although I
once had a close call. I was visit-
ing my good friends Tom and Pat
Schroth, who live in Maine (state
motto: "Cold, But Damp").
Being generous and hospitable
people, Tom and Pat went out
and purchased, as a special treat
for me, the largest lobster in the
history of the Atlantic Ocean, a
lobster that had probably been
responsible for sinking many
commercial vessels before it was
finally apprehended by nuclear
submarines. This lobster was big
enough to feed a coastal Maine
village for a year, and there it
was, sprawling all over my plate,
with scary insectoid legs and eye-
balls shooting out in all different
directions, while Tom and Pat,
my gracious hosts, smiled happi-
ly at me, waiting for me to put
this thing in my mouth.
Remember when you were a
child, and your mom wouldn't let
you leave the dinner table until
you ate all your Brussel's sprouts,
and so you took your fork and
mashed them into smaller and
smaller pieces in hopes of even-
tually reducing them to individ-
ual Brussel's-sprout molecules
that would be absorbed into the
atmosphere and disappear? That
was similar to the approach I
took with the giant lobster.
"Mmmm-MMMM!" I said,
hacking away at the thing on my
plate, and when nobody was
looking, concealing my pieces
under my dinner roll, in the salad,
in my napkin, anywhere I could
find.
Tom and Pat: I love you dearly,
and if you should even have an

electrical problem that turns out
to be caused by a seven-pound
wad of old lobster pieces stuffed
into the dining room wall socket,
I am truly sorry.
Anyway, my point is that lob-
sters have long been suspected,
by me at least, of being closet
insects, which is why I was very
pleased recently when my alert
journalism colleague Steve Doig
referred me to an Associated
Press article concerning a discov-

ery by scientists at the University
of Wisconsin. The article, head-
lined GENE LINKS SPIDERS
AND FLIES TO LOBSTERS,
states that not only do lobsters,
flies, spiders, millipedes, etc.,
contains THE EXACT SAME
GENE, but they also are all
descended from a single common
ancestor: Howard Stern.
No, seriously, the article states
that the ancestor "probably was a
wormlike creature." Yum! Fetch
the melted butter.!
And that is not all. According
to articles sent in by alert readers
(this was on the FRONT PAGE
of the New York Times), scien-
tists in Denmark recently discov-
ered that some lobsters have a
weird little pervert organism liv-
ing ON THEIR LIPS. Yes. I did-
n't even know that lobsters HAD
lips, but it turns out that they do,
and these lips are the stomping
ground of a tiny creature called
"Symbion Pandora" (literally, "a
couple of Greek words"). The
zoology community, which does
not get out a lot, is extremely
excited about Symbion Pandora,
because it reproduces differently
from all other life forms.
According to various articles,
when Symbion Pandora is ready
to have a baby, its digestive sys-
tem "collapses and is reconstitut-
ed into a larva," which the parent
then gives birth to by "extruding"
it from its "posterior." In other
words — correct me if I am
wrong here — this thing basical-
ly reproduces by pooping.
So to summarize: If you're
looking for a hearty entree that
(1) is related to spiders; (2) is
descended from a worm; and (3)
has mutant baby-poopers walk-
ing around on its lips; then you
definitely want a lobster. I myself
plan to continue avoiding them,
just as I avoid oysters, which are
clearly — scientists should look
into this next — members of the
phlegm family. Have you ever
seen oysters reproduce? Neither
have I, but I would not be sur-
prised to learn that the process
involves giant undersea nostrils.
AND don't get me started on
clams. Recently I sat across from
a person who was deliberately
eating clams; she'd open up a
shell, and there, in plainview,
would be this stark naked clam,
brazenly showing its organs, like
a high-school biology experi-
ment. My feeling is that if a
restaurant is going to serve those
things, it should put little loin-
cloths on them.
I believe that Mother Nature
gave us eyes because she did not
want us to eat this type of food.
Mother Nature clearly intended
for us to get our food from the
"patty" group, which includes
hamburgers, fish sticks and
McNuggets — foods that have
had all of their organs safely
removed someplace far away,
such as Nebraska. That is where
I stand on this issue, and if any
qualified member of the lobster,
clam or phlegm-in-a-shell indus-
try wishes to present a rebuttal, I
hereby extend this offer: Get

Dandelion puts a twist in punk
by Aaron Davis
Lifestyles Wirter
Here we are at the beginning of
another semester, which means
another semester of music
reviews. Since Ed and Dave
have both graduated, I will take
over the fun of letting you know
about new music, and going back
in time to review some oldies that
are still good. For my first
review I chose Dandelion's
"Dyslexicon," a very good CD
for a cheap price.
The CD starts off with "Pass the
Stone," a typical Dandelion song.
It contains their usual fast music
and dragging, scratchy vocals.
From there, Dandelion moves on
to a different sound than they had
on their previous CD, "I think
I'm Gonna Be Sick." The second
track slows down and becomes
very sludgy. They abandon the
slow sound near the end of this
track and finish the track with a
lot of distortion and feedback.
The end reminds me of classic
Sonic Youth. With 'Trailer Park
Girl," they pick the pace back up,
add a little distortion, and come
up with a song that could be their
first hit single. The only problem
I have with this song is that it
sounds a little too much like all
song, but it is all about having
fun (which is very unlike
Nirvana).
The next song may be the best
on the CD. "Viva Kneval" is a
very strange and risky song that
reminds me of Evil Kneval, the
man that it is about. It begins as
a classic punk song, then sudden-
ly becomes very slow. The guitar
in this part of the song is tuned to
sound like a flute. The song then
picks up speed, but not to the
pace it was at the beginning. The
last song, "Melon From Heaven",
is another song that reminds me
of their early stuff. It is an
extremely slow and sludgy song.
The vocals are mixed so that all
of the words drag on to the point
of running together.
It can be difficult to understand
what they are saying sometimes,
but that is their intention. This is
a distinct quality that I like very
much. The bass is excellent
throughout the CD. Overall, it is
too sludgy to be punk, and too
punk to be sludge. This is a very
good CD for anyone who is will-
ing to try something a little dif-
ferent, and heavy.
of those other "SeatUe Sound"
imitators.
Keeping with the back and forth
action of the CD, "What a Drag"
becomes very sludgy.
"Supercool" is another faster
song. The difference between
this track and their others is that
there is actual singing, not the
usual scratchy tone of their other
songs. The next two songs are
two of the best on the CD.
"Retard" is a very frantic, almost
punk song. The vocals are still
very sludgy sounding, but even
they speed up in this song. There
is excellent use of feedback in
this song. "False Alarm" is
another fast pace song. There is
some excellent bass in this song,
as well as even quicker vocals
than before.
"Tapped" begins with a quiet
Sonic Youth-style introduction,
and then becomes another sludgy
track. "Whatever" begins with a
little humor as the guitarist starts
before everyone else is ready.
Once the song really starts, it is
utilizing quiet guitars, and mostly
vocals. The song then becomes
more frantic and heavy through-
out. The next track, "Snow Job",
sounds like a slower Nirvana

The Sigma Chi fraternity at
Clarion University recently won

The award recognizes superior
performance in 11 areas of chap-

The national fraternity judges
each chapter based on its own
campus and local circumstance.
The application process encour-
ages chapter officers to evaluate
chapter operations against Sigma
Chi standards for achievement.
Through this process, it is
expected that officers will estab-
lish goals and plans of operations
for the next academic year.
The award was created in 1963
by Past Grand Counsel and
Chairman Emeritus of the Sigma
Chi Foundation, J. Dwight
Peterson.
For the past 30 years, the
Foundation has presented a dis-
tinctive wooden plaque to each
winning chapter and a cash con-
tribution to the chapter's univer-
sity. Clarion University recently
received a check for $100 from
the Sigma Chi Foundation.
The money will be used to con-

Golden Eagles crown five PSAC champions
«M*
Clarion had five champions at the PSAC tournament held at Millersville this past weekend.

Sports Editor
Five PSAC champions weren't
enough this past weekend as the
Golden Eagle wrestlers finished
second at the 53rd PSAC cham-
pionships at Millersville.
"To a man we wrestled a great
tournament. Even with three
starters out, we were able to
make it an exciting tournament. I
was proud of the way we wres-
tled and couldn't have asked our
team for a better performance,"
stated head coach Jack Davis.
As expected Sheldon Thomas
dominated the 118 pound class
and Thomas was the Golden
Eagles first champion. Thomas
upped his season mark to 19-2.
Talented freshman Chris
Marshall dropped a weight class
and decisioned #1 seed Mike
Castro in the semi-finals, then
defeated Terry Showalter 9-2 in
the finals. Marshall, who is
ranked #1 1th nationally at 134
pounds by AWN, improved his
record to an impressive 23-6.
Marshall took the place of the
injured Bob Crawford, who sus-
tained an ankle injury at the
Nebraska National Duals.
The Golden Eagles have been
plagued by injuries all season,
and at the 134 pound class,
Jamey Azzato who is normally
wrestles at 118, was forced to
step up and fill the spot vacated
by Marshall's move to 126.
Azzato was pinned in his first
match, but through wrestled his
way back to a 2-3 record and a
6th place finish. Azzato's season
record stands at 2-3.
Stan Spoor was supposed to
red-shirt this season, but once
again the injury bug bit coach
Davis and the boys, and Spoor
was forced to step in for Tom
Tomeo who was lost for the sea-
son .
Spoor entered the 142 pound
weight class unseeded, but was
able to wrestle to a 3-2 record
and finished 5th overall. Spoors
season record stands at 4-5. TJ.
Carbaugh took to the mats for the
Golden Eagles at the 150 pound
class, due to the fact that starter
Jody Clark was lost for the sea-
son with an injury. Carbaugh had
some tough matches at PSAC's,
but was able to come out with a
2-2 record. Carbaugh's season
mark now stands at 2-7. At 158
pounds Clarion's Ken Porter
entered ranked #1 for the tourna-
ment, and Porter wrestled his
way to a 4-0 record and gave the
Golden Eagles their 3rd champi-
on. Porter is currently ranked
#llth nationally by EWN and his
season record improved to 17-6.
Paul Antonio captured title
number four at 167 pounds, and
in doing so improved his season
record to 14-4. Antonio is cur-
rently ranked #9th nationally by
AWN.
At 177, Juggy Franklin, a trans-
fer to Clarion in January from
Ohio State, wrestled a strong
tournament to finish second at
177. Franklin lost a narrow 3-2
decision to #1 seed and #5 ranked
Mike Guerin. Franklin's now has
a 3-3 season record.
Bryan Stout became the fifth
Golden Eagle champion as he
pinned and major decisioned his
way to the championship. Stout
is ranked #1 nationally, and in
winning his first PSAC tide,
raised his season record to 13-0.
Heavyweight Darren Jarina
seeded 4th, finished 2nd as he
upset #1 seed and #10 ranked Joe
Eaton 10-5. Jarina then lost to
Jerry McCoy of Millersville on
riding time. Jarina's season mark
now stands at 10-9. In addition to
Clarion's five champions, Lock
Haven had three, while Edinboro
and Millersville each posted one.
Clarion now has 87 individual
PSAC winners in its overall his-
tory dating back to 1941 and 85
since the 1959-60 season, the
year Clarion re-started wrestling
under Frank Lignelli. Bob
Crawford is expected to be ready
for next Thursday's match
against Edinboro. .Clarion's
match at Bloomsburg has been
rescheduled for February 27th.
Clarion's overall record is 2-4-1,
and their EWL record is 1-0-1.
Golden Eagles Swim Team Soars
by Jennifer Founds
Copy and Design Editor
This past weekend, the Clarion
Golden Eagles mens and womens
swimming and diving teams trav-
eled to Oakland University in
Michigan for the Mid-Winter
Invitational.
The three schools that attended
the meet were our own Clarion
Golden Eagles, Oakland
University, and Ashland
University.
The Eagles received second
place in the Invitational with an
overall score of 547. In first
place was Oakland University
with 825 and Ashland in third
with 386.
Coach Mark Vandyke stated,
The team traveled to Oakland,
swam well against the defending
National Champions and we are
pointing toward the PSAC's at
Edinboro on February 23-25.
One outstanding time was set as
a new pool record at Oakland by
C.U. freshman Christina
Tillotson. Her time in the 400 yd.
Individual Medley was 4:35.04,
and was a qualifying time for
nationals. Tillotson also had a
good time of 5:11.73 in the 500
yd. freestyle and 2:10.49 in the
200 yard individual medley.
Other outstanding times were
set by C.U. junior, Lauri Ratica,
with a time of 59:42 in the 100
yd. Butterfly (she is the defend-
ing national champion in this
event), and the 400 yd. Medley
Relay team consisting of
Christina Tillotson, Lauri Ratica,
Dawn Bowser, and Regan
Rickert.
Some honorable mentions for
the womens team were Kelly
Gould for the 200 and 500
Freestyle, Micki Laino for the
400 individual medley, Regan
Rickert for the 100 and 200 yd.
backstroke, and Dawn Bowser
for the 100 and 200 yd. freestyle.
The top time for the men at the
Invitational was sophomore diver
Ken Bedford winning in both
one and three meter diving.
Some outstanding times for the
men in swimming were, John
Williams in the 100 and 200 yd.
Backstroke, Jason Namey for the
200 and 500 yard medleys.
Freestyle, EricFringer for the
200 yd butterfly and 500 yd.
Freestyle, Andy Smearman for
the 100 and 200 yd. breaststroke,
and Steve Woolery for the 50 yd.
Freestyle.
The Golden Eagles swim teams
had a double dual meet at home
on Saturday and Sunday January
20-21. The schools who attended
were Edinboro , West Chester
and Shippensburg.
The Golden Eagles women
came in first place with a score of
744, West Chester came in sec-
ond with 642, Shippensburg
came in third with 503 and
Edinboro had 239.
The mens swim team also came
in first with a score of 709, West
Chester came in secone with 645,
Shippensburg had third with 478,
and Edinboro had a score of 296.
This weekends home meet
against Slippery Rock originally
scheduled for Saturday
February 10 at 1p.m. has been
moved up a day to Friday
February 9 at 6p.m.
The men have been PSAC
champions 21 of the last 25
years, and the women are the
only PSAC champions ever, as
they have won the award every
year since it began in 1976.
Both teams are having success-
ful seasons once again this year,
and would appreciate fan support
at the W.S. Tippin Natatorium as
they both go for this year's cham-
pionships.

Some selected thoughts from the NHL
The Penalty Box and blue pucks?
By Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
Hello and welcome back every-
body. Inspired and hopefully for-
given by my fellow Call sports
writers. I have decided to name
my weekly column the "Penalty
Box."
Now that football has climaxed
and another champion crowned,
let's turn our attention to the
sport where it's cool to put your
opponent in "check", hockey.
The Pittsburgh Penguins won
the award for best alternate jersey
worn in a game last week with
those stunning yet comfortable to
the touch jerseys they sported as
they played the Philadelphia
Flyers.
The Penguins have made seri-
ous talk about a Stanley Cup run
this year, but one area where they
are definitely lacking is in the
defensemen position.
The forwards are making up for
this by scoring seven to eight
goals nightly, but playoff hockey
boils down to hard checking and
defense.
The Pens aren't doing that and
haven't been doing it for the bet-
ter part of four years since their
first Stanley Cup title.
Anyone who watched Monday
night's 2-1 defeat to Florida saw
that the Penguin defensemen
played tentative, had trouble get-
ting the puck out of their own
end, and had difficulty getting
good outlet passes to the for-
wards through the Panther neu-
tral zone trap. They even dis-
rupted the Penguin's celebrated
power play on occasion by mis-
handling the puck around the
opponent's blue line.
This area must be improved if
the Pens are to defeat the likes of
the Panthers, Canadiens,
Rangers, and Flyers in the play-
offs.
Eastern Conference
Speaking of those playoffs,
could there be any better
matchups in the first round if the
playoffs started today in the
Eastern Conference?
The Pens would play Tampa
Bay to start off, and their great
year has only been dampened by
all the hoopla surrounding their
cross-state competitors.
Florida would play Washington
in a series of two physical,
defense oriented teams. Throw
that in with the Flyers,
Canadiens, Bruins, and Rangers
battling it out, and you have a
scenario in which the first round
could be the most difficult in the
road to the Cup.
Maple Leafs making a
stretch run trade?
The Toronto Maple Leafs
acquired center Dave Gagner
from Dallas in exchange for
Benoit Hogue and winger Randy
Wood in what appears to be an
"experience" trade with Dallas.
The Leafs sought Gagner for his
playoff experience and leader-
ship as the second half of the sea-
son is now in full swing.
The Stars, heading nowhere,
seem to be trying to build a good
nucleus for the future and this
trade accomplishes that.
Hogue and Wood are both
young players who appear to be
at their prime as they come to
Dallas.
Gagner will bring his tough,
gritty determination to Toronto
and those intangibles are price-
less in the playoffs. Look for
both teams to reap benefits from
this trade.
PJu e P u ck ?
I have to put my two cents in
as far as this blue puck thing is
concerned.
I didn't catch too much of the
All-Star game, but the little I saw
brought to me this question:
With all that technology that cost
hundreds of thousands of dollars,
why was the circle that encom-
passed that puck fuzzy?
That's all for now, but look for
more NHL news and notes in
next week's edition of "The
Penalty Box."
This week in Clarion intramural sports
BY Scott Horvath
Sports Writer
This week in intramurals will
be the source for all of the intra-
mural happenings and results.
This week in intramurals will
supply you with upcoming
events, registration deadlines, the
week's schedule, results, and
champions.
Doug Knepp is the new
Director of Intramurals and any
questions can be directed to him
by calling 2349.
Coming up in the next couple
weeks are the billiards tourna-
ment, the bowling league, and the
weightlifting tournament.

tinues to roll on for several weeks
more.
The billiards tournament has its
preliminary rounds on Monday
Tuesday, and Thursday.
Women's activities are Monday,
while men's action is Tuesday
and Thursday.
The competition is open to all
students, staff and faculty and is
free with a valid student ID. It
will be held at 9:00 p.m. at the
Gemmel game room.
Weekly winners will meet in a
tournament at the end of the
elimination rounds. In opening
Week action, Rocky Dollin
became the first qualifier for the
championship tournament.
The bowling league still has
room for a few late-entry teams.
Teams can consist of 4-6 mem-
bers, two of which must be
women.
The bowling league is held
Wednesday nights at Ragley's
Bowl Arena.
The weightlifting competition
is approaching quickly. It is open
to men and women.
There are four different weight
classes for men(light, middle,
heavy, and superheavy) and three

Now for a recap of the basket-
ball season . The teams, Just
Crumblin Erb and Sigma Tau
Gamma are both 2-0. These two
undefeated powerhouses will
meet Sunday night at 10:00 p.m.
En Fuego, who narrowly fell to
Just Crumblin Erb on Monday
night, will take their 1-1 record to
face Defending Champs in anoth-
er 10:00 p.m. Sunday game
which should make for a great
doubleheader.
Tonight, two undefeated teams
from the women's section will
meet. T-2 will visit Boes in a
9:00 p.m. game.
In preparation for the powerful
men's doubleheader on Sunday,
come watch as the High Tops do
battle with Gyeah as both teams
look for their first victory.

An interesting view of the SuperBowl
By Nathan Kahl
Sports Writer
Kind of ironic don't you think?
The man with the lowest inter-
ception rate in the history of pro-
fessional football throwing two
picks to a stationary man distinct-
ly wearing blue, white and silver.
But the thing that makes the
Steelers Super Sunday setback
hardest to swallow is that the
Steelers were the better team in
Arizona.
Obviously, the Cowboys did
what was needed to win the
game, but when you look at it
from top to bottom, the Steelers
certainly put forth a stronger
team effort.
"Shoulda, coulda, woulda," was
how Rod Woodson put it. And,
while all three are true, nobody
remembers who finishes second
in these games.
Oh, sure, the Steelers put up a
good fight, which keeps the
league and the advertisers happy.
But for the fans, and particularly
for the players themselves, it
wasn't just enough to cover the
spread.
This team wanted to win, ans it
certainly put itself in a position to
do so.
One of the fascination things
about sports it that it is composed
of little battles inside the bigger
war. The Steelers held Emmitt
Smith to under 50 yards rushing;
they held Troy Aikman to just
over 200 yards; Jay Novacek
didn't catch a pass after the first
few Dallas drives; Michael Irvin
was very quiet; Deion didn't do
much besides get beat for a
touchdown; and I'm sure most of
you have seen the well circulated
stat that from the mid-season
quarter on, the Steelers outgained
Dallas 268 yards to 70.
All of those are monumental
victories and nearly all of the
time they will translate into a vic-
tory
But then Larry Brown entered
the scene to join the names of
Dennis Gibson and Francisco
Cabrerra in Pittsburgh infamy.
Actually, Brown didn't really
enter the scene as much as he was
yanked into it by errant Neil
O'Donnell passes.
Has there ever been a more
uncelebrated Super Bowl MVP,
one that had to do less work in
the game?
Jake Scott (Miami, SB VII) is
the only other defensive back to
win the award, but at least he had
to do something, intercepting two
passes, one in the end zone, and
holding the Redskins Charlie
Taylor to two catches.
Without Brown's interceptions
the Cowboys lose, but it still
leaves a bad taste in the mouth
that he gets the honor because the
Cowboys as a whole were very
unspectacular.
What could have been one of
the greatest endings in the thirty
years of the big game ended up
fizzling out anti-climatically.
Maybe the only good thing that
can come out of it is that
O'Donnell's stack may drop
slightly in the free agent market,
but that is doubtful.
So last year's loss in the AFC
chapionship game has proved to
be exponentially damaging.
Maybe the Steelers would have
lost to San Francisco, but the
experience of the game would
have helped them deal with the
obvious first quarter jitters they
displayed on Sunday.
Had they played their game for
60 minutes, they would be wear-
ing rings.
Funny thing too, I had all my
homework done on this game.
O'Donnell is sporting a beard for
the first time in his career, as
Terry Bradshaw did when the
Steelers won their first Super
Bowl.
So I started checking to see if
history had repeated itself in
other areas in sport.
Figuring that if there were
enough parallels between 1974
and 1975 I could reasonably
anticipate a Steeler victory.
In 1974, the season of the first
Steeler Super Bowl win, Hale
Irwin won the U.S. Open for his
first major victory; Cory Pavin
won his first major U.S. Open
victory in 1995.
Gary Player won the Masters
after a long drought in that tour-
nament in 1974, and Ben
Crenshaw did the same in 1995.
In 1974, one of baseball's great-
est records was broken- Babe
Ruth's home run record; in 1995
Lou Gerhig gave way to Cal
Ripken, and my favorite golfer,
Phil Mickelson won in Phoenix
the day before the game.
THE SIGNS WERE THERE.
There are some more, but I aws
just stretching anyway and at this
point it's all irrevelant.
All we can hope is that the
Steelers can keep their core play-
ers together, get a little hungrier,
and use this experience to moti-
vate them toward that final step
next season, and I'm sure they
would be happy to play the
Cowboys.
Better luck next year, and don't
give up black and gold.
Clarion men hit speedbump on the road to the playoffs
By Tun Rafalski
Sports Writer
The Clarion men's basketball
team strolled into the Pitt-
Johnstown gymnasium Saturday
sporting an 11-5 record and high
hopes for another victory over
the 6-8 hosts.
UPJ had other plans, and the
Golden Eagles were sent home
with a disappointing 89-83 loss.
The Golden Eagles used a 9-3
run to take an early 14-7 lead five
minutes into the game. Wayne
Fletcher had the hot hand during
that stretch scoring six points.
UPJ answered back and went
on a 22-5 run and took a 44-35
lead into halftime.
UPJ's momentum carried over
into the second half as they
increased their lead to 13 points
with ten minutes left in the game.
Then it was Clarion's turn to
make another run as Jamie Polak
dropped in seven points over the
next five minutes to bring the
Golden Eagles within four.
During the final three minutes
of the game, UPJ became, dare
we say,"en fuego" from the char-
ity stripe sinking 14 straight free
throws to seal the 89-83 victory.
Leading the way for Clarion
was Fletcher who poured in 16
points and pulled down six
rebounds. Oronn Brown and
Polak scored 15 points each with
Brown adding eight assists and
four rebounds.
Gregg Frist was the leading
rebounder with 11 to go along
with his 10 points. Providing a
spark off the bench was Alvin
Maloy who scored 13 points in
only 18 minutes.
UPJ's Devlin Herring led all
scorers with 17 points. Jim Book
added 15 points along with seven
rebounds and Dana Doggett
dropped in 13 points to go along
with his eight assists.
Saturday's loss moved
Clarion's overall record to 11-6.
Their 3-2 PSAC West record has
the Golden Eagles tied for second
place with IUP (14-4,3-2).
Nationally ranked California
(14-0,5-0) remains in first place
after beating IUP on Saturday.
The driving force behind
Clarion's record this season has
been their "Big four": Frist,
Polak, Brown, and Fletcher. Frist
is the teams leading scorer and
rebounder averaging 17.9 and 7.6
per game respectively.
Polak is contributing 17.3 ppg
and 3.1 rpg. Brown has been per-
haps the best all-around player
averaging 11.9 ppg., 7.4 apg., 4.4
rpg., and 3.2 spg. Fletcher is
averaging 11.7 ppg. and 3.4 rpg.
The loss of two key players has
forced the Clarion bench to step

February I, iwo
Laying it on the line
By Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
The time has come to add a lit-
tle controversy to this newspaper,
and thus a new weekly column is
born. It will be written my
myself, or whoever I feel has the
most to say about the many con-
torversial issues surrounding the
world of sports.
Yes, we'll keep it clean, but
let's just say that we may stretch
it to the extremes. Enough
though, let's roll right into the
premier edition of Laying it on
the Line.
• If any of you think that the
Penn State men's basketball team
is as good as their record shows,
then you are on some highly
effective drugs. Wait for another
month and this team will fall
completely on their face. The
highlight of the Bryce Jordan
Center will be gymnastics, and
coach Jerry Dunn will go from
instant hero to goat in a matter of
days.
• How can the Pittsburgh
Steelers call it a victory by shut-
ting down Emmitt Smith and the
Dallas running game? Sure it
was a fantastic effort by the
defense, but Dallas won the
game. Enough said. Better luck
next year black and gold.
Many people will criticize Neil
O'Donnell for his performance in
the Superbowl and rightfully so.
But, the Steelers would have
never made it as far as they did if
they would have had someone
else calling the signals. It will
destroy this team next year if
O'Donnell leaves.
Also, Kevin Greene must be
signed. He bleeds black and gold
and I'm not totally sold on Jason
Gildon, although I do believe that
he has shown tremendous poten-
They said It couldn't be done, but "Lightning" Rod
Woodson returned from an ACL injury and contributed in
the Super Bowl.
tial. Leon Searcy also should be
re-signed. These three are keys
to the Steelers return to the big
dance next year.
John Jackson and his huge two
million a year contract will be
gone, as well as Deon Figures.
What happened to this guy any-
way? The miraculous comeback
to start the season opener, then
where did he go?
The Steelers are covering some-
thing up. Figures and his con-
tract will not return.
• How many of you attended the
WWF wrestling match last
semester? Yes, it was a great
money maker for the University,
but get real. This stuff is nothing
more than a glamorized soap
opera. But that Is exactly what
Vince McMahon and all his
cronies want.
People tune in week after week
to watch these musclebound
morons make total idiots of
themselves, but the real joke is
you. Anyone who watches this
garbage and actually believes
what they are seeing should seek
medical help.
• Whenever Mario Lemieux
walks onto the ice, he instantly
makes every player better. I'm
not just talking about his own
Penguin teammates, but he also
makes the opposition step up
their game to another level in
order for them to try and stop
him.
But in order to lay it on the line,
Lemieux is the best player the
game has ever seen bar none.
This guy has come back from
Hodgkin'sjiisease and numerous
other injuries and is on pace to
score well over 200 points this
season. Wayne Gretzky, pick up
your jock.
All of you wonderful Filth-
adelphia Flyer fans who think
that Eric Lindros is your savior
should take a walk down to the
FOUR STAR
NEW!
Will this controversial quarterback return next year?
Many hope he doesn't, but don't be surprised if he does.
Spectrum, touch the Rocky stat-
ue, and play the song Eye of the
Tiger. This is the only joy that
you will see this year as the
Flyers are fading fast. Just in
case you wanted to know,
Lemieux has 109 points in 42
games, Lindros has 65.
Yes I'm a communications
major and naturally ignorant
when it comes to math, but isn't
that 44 more points. It sure is, so
for any of you out there who even
think that Lindros is in Lemieux'
s league, to be blunt, he isn't.
Lindros is very talented, but
when Lemieux was made, the
mold was thrown away.
It would only be fitting to con-
clude this article with some part-
ing shots at the Steelers.
I had to throw some Steelers
shots out just so everyone can
remember what a good season
they had.
This is the popular consensus of
most fans, right? Sure they did
have a great year, but finishing
second is a prize not often sought
after.
Better luck next year Steelers.
The Pirates open their season
Monday, April 7 at Florida.
Also, the Penguins are doing
well right now, so you can take
your sorrows elsewhere.
If you Steeler fans take nothing
else from this, well just remem-
ber The Super Bowl is only one
year away.

Current cost per student is $100
Recreation Center plans change to decrease student cost
By Tom Evans
News Writer
Designers have gone back to
the drawing board to revise the
plans for the proposed recreation
center.
Dr. George Curtis, Vice-
President of Student Affairs,
explained that the plans must
first go under a feasibility study.
A financial plan for the center
can then be developed. The
financial plan to figure out the
cost per student has currently set
• the fees per semester to be
roughly about $100.
The plans have been sent back
to the feasibility study in hopes
of reducing the fees to
approximately $90 per student
per semester.
The most favorable site for the
proposed recreation center has
been determined to be the
Gemmell Student
Center/Campbell Hall area.
The total square footage of the
recreation center has been
reduced by approximately 6000
square feet. The total is now
projected at being 48,000 square
feet.
Dave Tomeo, director of
Gemmell Student Center, stated
that an office that was
approximately 1,545 square feet
will possibly be cut in half to be
an office as well as a meeting
room that could seat about 30
people.
Five storage rooms that were
scattered across the center of the
designs will be reduced to one
big storage room. The total
storage space will be 1,360
square feet in one room.
Tomeo suggested that the
storage room would possibly be
run like the athletic storage room
in Tippen Gym.
A student would be hired to
work in the storage room and
hand out equipment to those that
would need it.

The proposed recreation center study by Burt Hill Kosar Rittelmann Associates has undergone some revisions to keep
the cost per student to $90 . Currently, the cost per student is approximately $100. The amount of storage space, number
of lanes on the indoor track, and the elimination of a juice bar are all possible reductions being considered.
The training room that was
included in the original designs
has been eliminated from the
revised designs. The juice bar
that was included may be
reduced into a vending area if
the space is not available for the
amount of money that has been
allocated.
Three basketball courts, an
aerobics and dance room, as well
as a climbing wall are also
included in the plans for the new
recreation center.
A video security system has
also been suggested. The
architects are to determine if one
is needed or if areas will be open
to provide sufficient viewing by
the supervisor.
Another feature of the
recreation center that is being
changed is the running track.
The track will be shorter and
thinner in the revised plans. It
will take nine laps to run a mile,
instead of the original eight laps.
The amount of lanes has been
reduced from six to four. Tomeo
also stated that each running lane
is approximately four feet wide
for a total running track width of
16 feet.
According to the results of the
feasibility study, the proposed
recreation center project would
be approximately $5 million.
The money to pay for
construction would come in the
form of a floating bond which
would be paid off over an
undetermined amount of time.
Dr. Curtis feels a referendum
vote will take place by the end of
February. A financial form must
be submitted to the Chancellor's
office, revisions must be made,
and then a referendum will be
presented to the students.
The proposal will then be sent
to the Board of Trustees and the
Board of Governors for the State
System of Higher Education
(SSHE). Upon approval, an
architect will be chosen, a final
design will be made, and a bid
will be presented to interested
parties for construction of the
recreation center.
Tomeo feels that the earliest
that construction will begin
would be the Fall of 1997, only
if things "fly through" and
everything is passed in good
time.
Tomeo also stated that students
could expect the fee to be raised
for next semester because a new
parking lot would have to be
built to accommodate for the loss
of parking that will exist when
the recreation center is
completed.
A parking lot of approximately
80 spaces could be built below
the volleyball courts behind
Campbell Hall. These facilities
will not be used for
intercollegiate play since the
basketball courts will not be the
official length that is needed for
games.
Tomeo is hoping that when the
referendiun vote occurs, students
would participate so that the
administration can gain a better
knowledge of what the students
really want.

OPINION
Editorial
Jeff
Levkulich
My Meteorology Professor, Dr.
Vega, told us the other day in
class that he was reading an arti-
cle from a journalist who gets
printed in dozens of newspapers
nationwide. Dr. Vega said that
the journalist had no clue what
he was writing about, so Dr.
Vega , I won't make that same
mistake. I will talk about some-
thing that I do know about.
Something that is very close to a
man's heart, and stomach. Food!
Now, I know that Chandler
Dining Hall and Reimer Snack
Bar have made some changes. I
am not going to talk bad about
the changes they have made; I
am going to talk bad about the
changes they have not made.
The changes they have made
are good changes, Chandler does
not look like a prison chow line
anymore. It has taken on a per-
sonality. Pictures accent the
walls, and new nutritional infor-
mation is posted. A new conve-
nience shop filled with such
things as Hot Pockets, and other
"on the go type" things appear.
That is just what the
2GOD'PO means, and that is
great but what about the food that
you have to eat while you are
inside the cafeteria. I have a ten
meals a week meal plan. If it
wasn't so far into the semester, I
would have changed it to five
meals a week, (don't think I
already didn't try.) Not only
because I think the food is unedi-
ble, but because there is nothing
that I want to eat. All I ever see
in the main line of the cafeteria is
quiche, or some sort of vegetable
stir -fry. When am I going to see
something that I like. I have only
seen chicken nuggets served
twice last semester. Who knows
when I will see it this semester.
Now you might say, "Why don't
you go eat in the Little Italy line
or the Deli line?" Well, I can
only withstand so much bad
pizza and dry hamburgers in one
week. The worst thing the cafe-
teria has done is ip the deli .line.
They have on the board turkey
club sandwich; but what it does-
n't say is it comes with thousand
island dressing. Even the cafete-
ria workers have agreed with me
that the dressing is a bad idea.
Yes, it is a bad idea, mat is why
we have a salad bar, so that we
can put dressing or anything else
we want on our sandwich.
The other issue is with Reimer.

(As I hung up the phone, memo-
ries came flooding back too fast,
painfully clear in the dark water
of the past. You had taught me
the danger. I don't think you ever
fooled yourself with more than a
moment's romanticizing. But
then, in one unretractable instant
you were gone. I believe Robert
Service said it best: "...the wild
must win in the end.")
Remember that first time? I'll
always remember. The siren
voice of adventure had lured me
to the rocks, and I looked to you
for guidance. But in the welcome
heat of early June, I discovered
the rock was more forgiving than
you ever were. It fed me holds for
confidence, and I climbed; on the
top, sprawled out, I was exhaust-
ed, gratified, elated. You were
critical. Drinking my iced tea,

you chewed apart my style, sug-
gested skydiving, but it didn't
matter. I was in love.
Trying to explain how I feel
about climbing is frustrating, per-
haps because so many people are
determined to keep both feet on
the ground. Or maybe it's
because I think of mountains and
rock faces in animal terms - awe-
some mind-pictures, primal,
unnamed, unrefined. Places only
accessible to men on the whim of
fickle gods, sometimes forbid-
den, always scared. "There is a
certain amount of danger, and to
me, mat is part of the thrill. To
climb is to move in a realm not
controlled by man. It is a combi-
nation of two classic storylines -
a man against nature, and man
against himself - and reading was
never enough for me.
It started as a normal childhood
activity. The branches were safe,
protecting. Aromatic sap and
rough bits of bark stuck between
my fingers and coated my palms.
"Just a little bit higher...", an
inner voice urged. The branches
began to bend sharply, but the top
was so closc.and suddenly I was
there, swaying crazily from side
to side, feeling the breeze cooler
and stronger than below. The
world sounded different there -
tree and wind-sounds. The
ground was so distant, and I
could see forever across the yards
or fields or pastures, and I rocked
with the wind, so small and
dreaming, against the vastness,
until a distant voice called me
home.
The quarry was special, wasn't
it? On long days, the mulberry
trees were a scavenger's dream.
Dangling precariously, swearing
at an uncooperative bolt kit, I had
my first taste of aid climbing.
The ripe purple berries were
much sweeter, but your taunts
goaded me on. To prove to you I
could master the tangle of fiffi
hooks, slings, carabiners, and
tiny Hexcntrics, I made each
move deliberate, calculated.
Finally, swinging bat-like
beneath an overhang, sweat-
soaked and too indignant to allow
fear, I attached a rappel line to the
fixed, and slid to the ground.
Your smile was different. There
was still criticism, but it was
well-meant. You spoke of
Yosemite, the White Mountains,
the Andes. We were partners.
Every climber has his or her
own reasons for choosing the
sport. In their own minds, these
reasons must be equal to the risks
they are willing to take. Not all
climbing is the same. People
climb different structures using
different equipment and different
techniques. Some people climb
only rock, some, only ice. Some
climb mountains.
You were afraid. The rock
leaned out at an almost impercep-
tible angle, and it seemed as
smooth as sandpaper on edge.
You clung to tiny flakes, fingers
locked in a death-grip against
gravity. You were not able to
place protection for 20 feet, and a
fall threatened to hurl you 40 feet
then smack you vengefully into
the wall below. You had to move,
but there was nowhere to go.
Wind roared in your ears, bat-
tered your face with whips of
hair. The rock was like ice; your
fingers, numb and desperate,
were hooked to it with fearful
rigidity. To fall would be so easy.
But would that last chockstone
hold? No, you couldn't fall.
Automatically, you made the next
move, to a finger-width crack
you prayed would widen.
Scrambling for a moment that
was eternity, you gained the
crack. Adrenaline still surging,
you found comfort in the vice of
rock, and hung for a moment by
the friction of your knuckles
against the granite. Then you
searched your rack for a small
hexcentric, wedged it in the
crack, chipped your rope into the
sling, and started up again.
We never made it to the Andes.
You did, though, and I never for-
gave you for it. I had to finish one
last semester, so you went with
someone else. The obsession
meant more to you than my dis-
appointment. I would never
understand, until several years
later, when viewing the magnifi-
cent Alps through the window of
a tour bus, how those selfish pri-
orities could be justified. I cried
from Gruyere well into Italy,
knowing at last why you had
taken the chance without me.
You relumed to the Andes, and
in the midst of political upheaval,
scaled Aconcagua, 22,834 feet,
the highest point in the Western

—READER RESPONSES!
Are all parkers created equal? One faculty member says no
In response to Kevin Miko's
editorial (Feb. 1) on the parking
problem on campus, I would like
to come out of the closet: I am a
member of the University
parking committee.
Now before you pop out the
veins in your neck and run me
over as you circle the lots
desperately attempting to park,
let me speak to just a few of the
concerns that we all know too
well!
First of all, I too used to think
a "parking committee" was an
absurd notion, second only to
faculty senate's "committee on
committees."
But increased concern for the
continuing vehicular crunch a
few years ago roused me to
action: first to submit letters,
then to request a hearing, and
finally present a petition to the
parking committee, all of which
were completely ignored.
So this year, when I was asked
to fill a vacant faculty seat on the
committee, I accepted, thinking
maybe I could work for change
(or at least maybe learn some
parking secrets!) from within.
I am responding to last week's
"too-true" editorial only because
I want to let you know how
much serving on this committee
has changed my viewpoint,
although not necessarily reduced
my (or anyone else's) frustration
with parking overload.
Now you might think I've
gone around the bend, but one
thing is definitely true: even
though I am their newest
member, I can tell you that the
parking committee of Clarion
University is the single most fair,
caring, and open committee I
have been involved with since
coming to CUP in 1991. Its
members include students
(resident, commuter, graduate,
Venango); faculty (including
physically challenged); and staff
(including maintenance, public
safety, administration, office
personnel).
The composition of this
thoughtful group represents
virtually everyone who travels to
campus at some point in their
lives. The work this committee
is asked to do is impossible! Our
charge is to make
recommendations for solutions
in the light of conflicting
interests.
Everybody wants a space near
where they are going, at any time
of day or night, and to leave their
cars untouched for any amount
of time from ten minutes to a
week or more. Virtually no
business or request comes before
the committee that does not have
an edge of gripe, exhaustion,
attitude, or open hostility
surrounding it.
Nobody knows better than the
committee and its Socratic chair
that we have problems: there are
more people who need to park
than are able to do so.
How can the dwindling
resource of open parking on
campus be better protected?
Clearly, everybody can't be
served to full satisfaction all the
time.
Frequently the statistic is
quoted that public safety issued
2,682 parking passes last year
for 1,671 available spaces. I too
thought this was insane until it
was explained to me that after
careful study, it was determined
that not all of those 2,682 cars
are expected to be on campus at
the same time.
The extra passes were not
issued to make money for the
college, or because somebody

can't count, but rather because
the people making the decisions
are doing backflips trying to
figure out how to best serve
everybody concerned.
Translation: it is precisely
BECAUSE the college wants to
let people park that they issued
those "extra" passes.
If the number of parking
spaces is limited, who gets left
out? Every student except
commuters and maybe resident
seniors? Faculty and staff? I
mean, something has to give
somewhere. Now who wants to
give?
The fact remains that we are
land-locked at CUP and will
have to see if we can gracefully
accommodate increased demand
with finite supply. It certainly is
interesting to observe the
American phenomenon of
"entitlement" around the subject
of cars and parking as it is being
lived out just now around our
campus.
Could it be that other "instant
gratification" cultural
phenomena like the Web have
trained us that we all "deserve"
full access to available resources
as if they were air and water —
"24/7" as the saying goes?
How could any committee
exclude anybody from open
access and not expect to be
bonked on the head by
somebody??!!
Mr. Miko is right, the parking
problem is getting worse. There
are increased demands on our
parking spaces. Contrary
perhaps to daily experience, the
parking committee and
University leaders know all
about it and are working on it,
though possibly not at a speed
that all would prefer. No magic
solution beyond that!
Recently I spent some time in
Denmark, where everyone
walks, takes the bus, or rides a
bicycle. Cars are too expensive
and too much trouble. With the
high cost of insurance and
upkeep, they find bikes much
easier, and the result is a totally
different way of life, no less
modern than our own.
Naive as it may sound, I
personally think we could use a
little more of that kind of
lifestyle. And then, with all the
fresh air whirling around our
lungs, we could pack up our
frustrated, conspiracy-based
attitude and... well... PARK IT!!

LOSE 20 POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS
Famous U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet
This diet has been featured in SPORTS ILLUSTRATED magazine!
During the non-snow off season the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team members
used the "Ski Team" diet to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. That's right - 20 pounds in
14 days! The basis of the diet is chemical food action and was devised by a famous
Colorado physician especially for the U.S. Ski Team. Normal energy is maintained
(very important!) while reducing. You keep "full"- no starvation - because the diet is
designed that way. It's a diet that is easy to follow whether you work, travel or stay at
home.
This is, honestly, a fantastically successful diet. If it weren't, the U.S.
Women's Alpine Ski Team wouldn't be permitted to use it! Right? So, give yourself the
same break the U.S. Ski Team gets. Lose weight the scientific , proven way. Even if
you've tried all the other diets, you owe it to yourself to try the U.S. Women's Alpine
Ski Team Diet. That is, if you really do want to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. Order
today! Tear this out as a reminder.
Send only $8.95 ($9.60 in Calif.)-add .50 cents RUSH service to: American
Institute, 721 E. Main Street,Dept. 254, Santa Maria, CA 93454-4507. Don't order
unless you expect to lose 20 pounds in two weeks! Because that's what the Ski
Team Diet will do. ©1 995

DA reopens probe into Polec beating
PHILADELPHIA - One day after a jury convicted three teens of
murder in the beating death of 16-year-old Eddie Polec, the district
attorney's office announced Tuesday that it would reopen its
investigation into the boy's death.
"We are looking into some of the other people who were
allegedly involved in light of some new evidence that came up in
the trial," said Bill Davol, spokesman for District Attorney Lynne
Abraham.
Davol confirmed earlier news reports and a statement by
Polec's father that authorities may seek other arrests in the 1994
heating of Polec after a gang fight between scores of teens from
Northeast Philadelphia and the suburb of Abington.
On Monday, John Polec said prosecutors told him they were
looking at 10 or 11 others placed at the scene of the Nov. 11, 1994,
beating. Davol would provide no names or numbers.
Man hurt in explosion at garage
GREENSBURG - An oil tank apparently exploded at a state
Transportation Department garage Tuesday morning, critically
injuring an employee, officials said.
A series of blasts were heard at about 11:20 a.m. at the garage
near Greensburg, Westmoreland County. Officials said PennDOT
employees were apparently clearing oil from a line when the
explosion happened. The garage was closed, and its trucks will be
based at another garage.
Tim Miller, 35, was in critical condition at Mercy Hospital in
Pittsburgh with bums over nearly all of his body. He was standing
near a truck when the blast happened.
House OKs bill to make up snow days
HARRISBURG - School districts could make up days lost to bad
weather by extending classroom hours or scheduling Saturday
classes, under a measure the House passed unanimously Tuesday.
The bill would allow districts to use all available days through
June 30 to ensure students get the 180 days of instruction as
required by law.
Districts would be allowed to compute the 180-day requirement
on an hourly basis - 900 hours for elementary and 990 hours for
secondary schools - or have classes one Saturday per month.
The House approved the measure in response to the number of
school days lost in January to the blizzard and flood. The bill now
goes to the Senate.
Perry noncommittal on Taiwan defense
WASHINGTON - The Clinton administration is unwilling to state
flatly it would defend Taiwan if the island were attacked by China,
Defense Secretary William Perry said Tuesday.
Perry said he is concerned but not alarmed that China is using
"military maneuvering" to try to influence Taiwan's democratic
presidential election March 23.
Asked what the United States would do if China threatened to
attack, Perry said he could not be more specific than the
commitment spelled out in the Taiwan Relations Act. That
document, the basis of the unofficial U.S. relations with Taiwan,
says belligerent actions meant to determine the future of the island
120 miles off China's southeastern coast would be "of grave
concern" to the United States.

The food isn't that great either. It
is better than eating at Chandler, but
who can afford it. What Reimer
needs is a fountain drink dispenser
out in the dining area so that people
can refill their drink. How much
more money would it cost to put a
refillable drink dispenser out in the
dining area. Many of the customers
that Gemmell receives are people
who come from working out or
playing racquetball. People are
thirsty after such activities. Also
when are we going to get rid of
styrofoam cups at Reimer? I have
been here for three years now.
When I first came here I asked when
they would be getting rid of the
styrofoam cups. The response I was
given was when the supply runs out.
Is that supply they were referring to
the factory's inventory who are
making the cups?
Now back to the subject, I like the
idea of the stage, that they just put in
Reimer Snack Bar. I think they
should bring in a comedian from the
area every Friday late night to
perform. That would mean keeping
the snack bar open longer than
normal, but it gives people
something to do as compared to
going out and drinking. There are a
lot of things that can be done with
this stage idea. Bring in a D.J. every
Saturday night and have a Nightlite
type atmosphere for everyone under
21. The University Activities Board
should stop putting money into
stupid speakers that nobody goes to
and put it into something that people
would attend.
Wrapping this article up, I will
give some credit to the food
workers, in that they try to make the
food likeable to the tastes of people
The only problem is not a whole lot
of people like quiche. People just
want some normal chicken, beet,
and pork every once and a while. It
is tough to make lunch and dinner
for over 5,000 students. The only
problem is that you can only please
some of the people some of the time.
It is never all of the people all of the
time. I will say that my meal plan
has changed every semester for three
years. I think next year I may not
have any meal plan at all.

The ballots from the nation's
first vote by mail election have
been tallied. This unprecedented
mail in vote took place in
Oregon, where a special election
was held to fill the seat of
Senator Bob Packwood who
resigned from the Senate last
year amidst allegations of sexual
harassment.
It is estimated that over 65% of
Oregon's voters cast ballots in
you climb?
You stood on the slope,
crampons biting into the wind-
hardened snow. Resting in the
thin air, you leaned against your
ice axe and surveyed the route
ahead. The sun was brilliant on
the snow, and sparkled on
spindrift that whipped like small
tornadoes across the slope.
You began the ascent, moving
in the mountain's pulse. You
were not tired. You moved
rhythmically, knowing no greater
contentment. You stood as man
did before weapons, before fire,
before language, without
illusions or pretensions of god-
power. Against the mountain,
you stood insignificant and
nameless, but joyful in the
challenge. Then you heard it. A
distant roar, like a ling-held
ocean suddenly released. It
pushed the wind before it with
tearing force - wind sounds.
There was no escape. The branch
cracked. Falling, heaven
descended, and its breath became
the universe.
We climb because in the
adventure and challenge, it is a
noble way to live. We climb,
intimate with danger, because it
also is a noble way to die.

this special election.
Historically, special elections in
Oregon rarely receive even 50
percent turnout. U.S.
Representative Ron Wyden, a
self described liberal Democrat
won the election. Defeated was
Oregon State Senate President
Gordon Smith, a Republican
who positioned himself as a
conservative alternative to
Wyden.
In the final count Wyden
received 48 percent of the vote
compared to Smith's 47 percent
Democratic party leaders called
the election a signal of voter
discontent with the Republican
led Congress. Republicans,
however, said the narrow margin
of victory in a state that went
Democratic in the last two
presidential elections should be
viewed as warning to President
Clinton's re-election campaign.
In Republican primary news
candidate Pat Buchanan won the
Alaska straw poll with 33
percent of the vote. Steve
Forbes finished a close second
with 31 percent. Bob Dole was a
distant third. Although
Buchanan has stated that this
victory proves he is capable of
winning the nomination the
straw poll was only a preference
test and awarded no delegates.
The Louisiana caucus will be
held on February 6, and the Iowa
caucus is February 12. The first
primary will be in New
Hampshire on February 20. The
latest polling data indicates that
all of these contest's may be very
close. In Louisiana a
WDSU/KATC-TV poll shows
that Buchanan is leading with 23
percent, Phil Gramm has 19
percent, and Forbes 17 percent.
In New Hampshire a Boston
Globe/WBZ-TV poll shows
Forbes leading the field with 31
percent to Dole's 22 percent,
Buchanan is third with 11
percent. The ARG tracking poll,
however, shows Dole leading 25
percent to Forbe's 19 percent,
with Buchanan at 14 percent.
These discrepancies are caused
by differing amounts of
independent voters being
surveyed in a given poll. Forbes
scores very well among
independent voters, but Dole
fares better among the
Republican base. The
determining factor in the New
Hampshire primary may be the
number of independents who
decide to vote.

A vast interest in the newest
information system called the
World Wide Web is indicated by
the overwhelming response to the
first time offering of a graduate
level course, teaching publishing
on-the World Wide Web.
"The response to the course
surprised me," says Dr. Scott
Kuehn, associate professor of
communication who is teaching
the course. "I planned it as a
graduate course expecting 15 to
20 students per year and to open
the rest of the seats for observa-
tion by faculty and staff. When I
announced the course I received
60 responses. I discovered the
Web was something people really
wanted to learn about."
Not all of the 60 respondents
enrolled, but Kuehn will have a
full classroom of 23 people, more
than half faculty and staff mem-
bers of Clarion University.
The course will focus on creat-
ing training modules, electronic
bulletin boards, and interactive
multimedia that are accessible on
the Internet. The created docu-
ments will be posted on the
Internet for access to other indi-
viduals. Much of the information
will be found on designed "home
pages".
Dr. Kuehn further adds,
"Thanks to Dr. Dana Madison we
will have enough computers to
do this class. Forty new comput-
ers were installed, upgraded, and
networked in the Becker Hall
Computer laboratory."
What Kuehn finds most unusu-
al about teaching this course is
having faculty and staff members
be a part of the class. "It is a
weird situation to have to judge
other faculty members and staff,"
says Kuehn. "I opened the course
to them on the condition that they
do all the homework and project
requirements. Many of them
want to create pages for their
department. We need to spread
the web expertise throughout the
university community. I would
like them to teach others about it
or introduce what they already
know in class."
Kuehn operates a home page on
the World Wide Web called the
"Center for the Study of
Computer Communication". The
address ishttp://cscc.clarion.edu/.
The page contains information
on research, resources on com-
puter communication, how to set
up and use a web site, and files
for other researchers to use.
Clarion University added its
own home page to the World
Wide Web several months ago.
It is accessible athttp://www.clar-
ion.edu/ and contains general
university information as well as
information about admissions,
academics, student information,
and a calendar of events.
The World Wide Web, the so-
called "information highway" is
accessed by computer through a
modem.
Once in the system, the user
may search a variety of sources

Four colleges chosen as debate sites
Cortesy of College Press
Service
Campaign '96 is over.
That is, the campaign staged
by more than 40 universities and
cities to host the presidential and
vice presidential debates is over,
according to the Commission on
Presidential Debates.
The non-partisan group nar-
rowed its selection down to four
universities Jan. 29. Each school
chosen met strict guidelines
regarding traffic flow, hotel
accommodations and broadcast
capabilities. They also had facili-
ties large enough to hold the
debates and 2,000 members of
the media.
Winners are Washington
University (St. Louis) for the first
presidential debate on Sept. 25;
Trinity College (Hartford, Conn.)
for the vice presidential debate at
the Civic Center Oct. 2;
University of South Florida for
the second presidential debate at
the Bayfront Center Oct. 9; and
the University of San Diego for
the third presidential debate Oct.
16.
The 90-minute debates each
will have a single moderator and
cover foreign and domestic
issues.
The final 1992 debate
between President Clinton,
George Bush and Ross Perot at
Michigan State University drew
about 97 million viewers, the
largest for any televised political
event in history. Exit polls in the
1988 and 1992 elections showed
that more Americans based their
votes on the debates than on any
other event, according to the
commission.
Hundreds of students are
expected to work as volunteers
during the debates, and some
may even be able to question the
candidates during the second
debate's "town meeting" format.
"College campuses are basi-
cally the focus of our search for
one reason: the debates are about
education," said Janet Brown,
executive director of
Commission on Presidential
Debates.
As it has with the last two
elections, the group deliberately
chose schools from different
regions of the nation. Past debate
sites include the Georgia Institute
of Technology, the University of
Richmond, Wake Forest
University and the University of
California at Los Angeles.
One of this year's winners,
Washington University, was also
the site of 1992's presidential
debate. Students at Washington
seemed pleased by the news, to
say the least.
"Everyone is terribly excit-
ed. Last time it was here, there
was just pandemonium," said
Christopher Brown, a 21 -year-
old junior at Washington.
"Everyone's just ecstatic about
it."
Chancellor Mark S.
Wrighton agreed. "It's an honor
to be a repeat."
Like other schools,
Washington submitted a proposal
to the commission outlining how
it would handle the needs of the
candidates and national press
corps.
Hosting the presidential
debate is an "extraordinary"
experience, involving weeks of
planning every detail.

Five year study to be admitted for accreditation
by Courtney Spangler, News
Writer
The time has come once again
lor Clarion University to submit
a five-year report of the opera-
tions of the university to remain
an accredited university.
The report is called the Periodic
Review Report (PRR).
The report is sent to Middle
States, an association for the
accreditation of universities or in
the words of Mr. Arthur Barlow,
a professor in the communica-
tions department, [it's] "quality
control ."
Middle States guarantees that
the degree you receive at gradua-
tion has value.
The PRR is a self study into the
school which shouldn't exceed
200 pages. The report is put
together by the PRR Committee.
The head of this committee is
Dr. William Sharpe, a professor
in the chemistry department.
The PRR committee will set up
six task forces, which "are corn-
Jeff Levkulich/Clarion Call
Dr. William Sharpe, head of the PRR Committee
posed of all of the university's
constituencies," according to Dr.
Sharpe.
The six task forces will look at
what the university is doing and
then will write reports this spring.
After the initial drafts are done,
there will be public hearings con-
ducted by the university.
After the hearings, the six task
forces will review the reports and
give them to the PRR committee.
The information will then be
collected and given to Dr.
Barbara Garland, a professor in
the marketing department and a
member of the committee,
Garland will write the report in
the summer and the fall of this
year.
The report will then be given
back to the PRR committee for
review and submission to Middle
States must take place by the
deadline of June 1, 1997.
The report must be received by
the given deadline or the univer-
sity will not remain accredited
for the next five years.
Without accreditation, a degree
that a graduating senior receives
won't be worth the paper it is
printed on. The PRR committee
should be finished by the end of
next fall. Any questions about the
PRR committee, should contact
Dr. William Sharpe in the chem-
istry department at 226-2564.

Six out of seven students from
Clarion taking the actuary exam
have passed the test at the same
time. Students Michelle Knight
and Jamie Lejcar passed the 100
level calculus exam, and Pi-Yeh
Liu and Mark Zacherl passed the
110 theory of statistics exam.
May graduates Julie Brzezinski
and Anthony Carr also passed the
100 level calculus exam. All
credit hard work and good educa-
tion to their success.
To add to the difficulty of pass-
ing the exams, one of the students
taking the 110 exam received the
highest possible attainable score.
Another student, Michelle
Knight, had the unusual distinc-
tion of passing the exam while
still a freshman.
"We are very proud of the
achievements of our students on
these exams," says Dr. Glenn
Rock, a professor in the mathe-
■•} r—
matics department. "The exams
are quite rigorous and the passing
rate is usually around 35 per-
cent."
The statistics from May 1995
when the Clarion students took
the exam showed a passing per-
centage of 45.9 percent tof the
students taking the 100 level
exam, and 34.0 percent passing
percentage for the students taking
the 110 level exam.
Actuaries are professionals who
apply their knowledge of mathe-
matics, and particularly of proba-
bility, statistics and risk theory, to
reai-iue . problems involving
future uncertainty. These uncer-
tainties are usually associated
with life insurance, property and
casualty insurance, annuities,
pension or other employee bene-
fit plans, or providing evidence in
courts of law on the value of lost
future earnings.They apply their
skills to help people to plan better
for the future by reducing risk.

The job of actuary has been
rated the best job a person can
have by several surveys because
of the salary ranges, the usual
low stress level, work environ-
ment, growth outlook and job
security. The salary ranges are
$24 to $28 thousand after passing
the first exam to $55 to $100
thousand plus as a fellow with
experience.
Since 1986, 24 Clarion
University students have passed
the first level or higher actuary
exams. Many more Clarion
University graduates have passed
the exams at various levels fol-
lowing graduation.
The majority of actuary jobs are
in the insurance business. The
field also includes consulting and
positions with regulatory agen-
cies of the federal government
dealing with pension plans and
insurance.
Roger Engle, associate profes-
sor of mathematics, concludes,
"In the field of acturial/statistics
our students have had no prob-
lems getting a job."

Flat tax for students rejected bv administration
SSHE communities face problems
by Christina Sanzari, News
Writer
A coalition of mayors from the
State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) communities
met in November to address
problems that the host communi-
ties are currently facing. The
mayors are presently responding
to a survey that addresses such
problems as financial contribu-
tions for municipal services,
crime, and the impact on the
community when university
activities are held. No new solu-
tions have been proposed to solve
the tax problems that are also
restraining the local communities
from efficiently meeting their
budgets.
SSHE university communities
have a large amount of non-tax-
able land which proposes a large
problem to the borough. (Marion
itself has $33.3 million worth of
land that is non-taxable. Most of
the land included is the universi-
ty-
Clarion Borough mayor Robert
Yoho points out that this creates a
problem in generating revenue
for the community. He also feels
that younger people benefit from
the services provided by the bor-
ough but they do not contribute
taxes. This places a tax burden on
the property owners who are
mostly retirees or on a fixed
income.
Since the original meeting in
November, representatives from
both Clarion University and
Clarion Borough have met to dis-
cuss the issues facing the com-
munity. Yoho is proposing thai
university students be charged a
$20 "community tax" which uni-
versity officials are in opposition
to.
Clarion University is presently
contributing annually to the
Clarion Fire and Hose Co.
University President Dr. Diane
Reinhard is looking into provid-
ing further contributions to the
borough. President Reinhard
would like to have the additional
support go towards safety issues
such as better off -campus hous-
ing.
Yoho hopes to soon present data
pertaining to the current prob-
lems proposed by the SSHE com-
munity mayors to state legislators
in Harrisburg.
Cont. from page 5
Colleges were evaluated on a
host of criteria, from the number
of electrical outlets in the
school's fieldhouse to the place-
ment of bathrooms for the candi-
dates, he added.
Also, a lot of teamwork and
camaderie is involved with "the
university circumventing all ele-
ments of bureaucracy and just
doing what needs to be done."
he said. "We can deal with
adversity."
Although, this time should be
old hat for Washington U. "We
did it once. We kind of know
what to do," he said. "We can do
it a bit more leisurely this time."
The school has not started
thinking about election year
2000. "One election year at a
time," he said.
Session (I of the Leadership Development Series will be held
on February 14 at 7:00 p.m. in room 250/252 Gemmell. The
presenters will be Ms. Gara Smith and Ms. Andrea Straw.

Professor contract negotiations have begun

The Clarion Call

by Lisa Laws on, News Writer
Professor contract negotiations
are now officially underway for a
new contract that will affect
every school in the State System
of Higher Education (SSHE). A
series of meetings will be held
this semester to implement a new
contract by the end of the sum-
mer. If a new contract is not
adopted, professors across the
state could be on the picket lines
in the Fall of this year.
The negotiations are being han-
dled by the Association of
Pennsylvania State College and
University Faculty (APSCUF).
According to Kevin Kodish, a
representative of APSCUF state
headquarters in Harrisburg, the
first legislative assembly of this
semester was conducted at the
Sheraton Hotel in Warrendale,
PA. During this meeting, the
APSCUF negotiations team
briefed the APSCUF executive
council members and legislative
assembly delegates regarding
contract negotiations within the
State System. Kodish further
noted that one bargaining session
was already held. This session
took place on Friday, January 26
at the University Center in
Harrisburg. At the next session,
which is scheduled for March 1,
APSCUF negotiators will deliver
their first round of proposals. No
further information concerning
the barganing sessions is avail-
able at this time.
All state schools have a presi-
dent of their APSCUF chapter
who will serve on the negotiation
team. The chief negotiator is
James Cowden, attorney at law.
The other members of the team
include William Fulmer from
Clarion, Barry Benson from
Bloomsburg, Sally Ross from
East Stoudsburg, Marie Paysesch
from Edinboro, Jack
Kadlubowski from Indiana,
Donald Mayer from
Shippensburg, and Steve
Gagliordo from Slippery Rock.
The team is looking at a multi-
year contract similar to their cur-
rent contract which was imple-
mented in 1994 and is up this
year.
The chief negotiator for SSHE's
negotiation team is Thomas
Giotto, an attorney from
Pittsburgh. The other members of
the team are Mary Carr, the act-
ing director of labor relations at
the Chancellor's office; Joseph
Gruenwald, dean of the College
of Business Administration at
Clarion University; Albert
Hoffman, dean of the School of
Science and Management at
Millersville University; William
Schweitzer, Associate Vice-
President for Human Resource
Services at West Chester
University; and Mark
Staszkievicz, the Provost and
Vice-President for academic
affairs at Indiana University of
Pennsylvania.
The team reports back to the
Board of Governors of the State
System of Education in
Harrisburg. The Board of
Governors is presided by
Governor Tom Ridge and has
every state university president
on the board.
The teams will meet together
with their proposed agreements
Each team will then decide on
one final agreement and will
bring it back to their general con-
sortium.
This process could take months
if either team has problems with
ther suggested contracts.

"Volunteering for those in need
reminds us all of the basic human
need of helping one another",
states Heidi Bower, president of
the Clarion University student
organization, Into the Streets.
The program entitled Take the
"PLUNGE" and go "Into the
Streets," is a national initiative
designed to introduce more stu-
dents to thoughtful community
service and to provide a learning
experience that will challenge
them to volunteer on a regular
basis.
Participating agencies include;
Allegheny Manor, Clarion
Elementary School, Koinonia,
Area Agency on Aging, Upward
Bound, YMCA, Drug and
Alcohol Administration, March
of Dimes, Stop Abuse For
Everyone, Inc., Rape Crisis
Center, Clarview Nursing Home,
Clarion Free Library, Clarion
Red Cross, and Children and
Youth Services.
"We couldn't be happier with
the response we have received
from the agencies in the area,

they are very excited and are
looking forward to sharing this
experience with the university
community," states Pam Bedison,
Project Coordinator of
Community Service Learning.
Students may register to partic-
ipate in the "PLUNGE" with Into
the Streets and Community
Service Learning during the
week of February 12th. Before
receiving volunteer assignments,
students will be divided into
teams and informed by Bower
and Bedison of the entailment of
their volunteer assignments.
According to Into the Streets,
five elements make up each com-
munity service project. The com-
munity voice element ensures the
needs of the community are
included in the development of
the community service program.
The orientation and training com-
ponent informs student volun-
teers about the community, the
issue, and the agency or commu-
nity group.
The meaningful action element
ensures the service being provid-
ed is necessary and valuable to
the community. The reflection
component allows students to
discuss their community service
learning experience.
The evaluation element mea-
sures the impact of the students'
learning experience and the
effectiveness of the service in the
community.
"When you volunteer not only
do you help someone, you
increase an awareness about the
surrounding community, the
world, and most of all yourself,"
says Bedison. She further com-
ments, "A single experience such
as the "PLUNGE" may open up a
whole new world in which you
can grow and learn outside of the
university setting."
Natalie Merchant with no Maniacs
by Aaron Davis
Lifestyles Writer
Welcome to another week of
music reviews. I have been feel-
ing more mellow this week, so I
chose Natalie Merchant's first
release without the 10,000
Maniacs, "Tigerlilly." Maniacs
or not, Natalie is a singer that is
unmistakable. The only real
change in Natalie's first solo
effort is that there is very little
hope. She has, in the past,
included hope in all of her
despair. Not so with this fine
effort.
She opens the CD with "San
Andreas Fault." This song is
about the struggles of people
wanting to go to Hollywood to
become a star. It relates the
earthquakes caused by San
Andreas Fault to the ease that
Hollywood can shake you down.
She starts it with the wonderful
dreams that these people have
and then gets into how the aspir-
ing star falls into nothingness.
The second song, "Wonder," is
about the only song on this CD
Jeff Levkulich/Clarion Call
Aaron Davis takes over this
semester in the world of
music reviews.
offering any hope. She sings
about how faith has enabled a
seemingly hopeless person to
become a "wonder" of the world.
"Beloved Wife" is a very emo-
tional song that speaks of the
despair an elderly man feels after
losing his wife of 50 years to ill-
ness. Natalie does a wonderful
job of placing herself in his posi-
tion. The emotions she feels
come through in her vocals. At
the end of the song, he wonders if
he should just end all of the
despair and join her. "River" is
another very emotional, sad song.
It is a very moving tribute to fall-
en actor, River Pheonix. She
takes time in there to criticize the
media for emphasizing the man-
ner of his death, and not letting
his family and fans remember
him as the child and hero he was.
The next track, "Carnival," was
the first single off the CD. The
song appears to be about how
easy it is too get lost in the "car-
nival" of Hollywood. She talks
about the "spectacle of wealth
and poverty, there are stars and
nothings in Hollywood. There is
nothing in between." "I May
Know the Word" is a song about
how living in fear has stripped
the character of everything,
including feelings. The person
the song is about becomes intro-
verted, indiffeient, and crazy for
help. Natalie's next track, "The
Letter," is about wanting to write
to a lost lover, to tell this lover
about the anger he has left
behind. She also wishes to tell
him that there are still wonderful
memories as well.
The song "Cowboy Romance"
is about drunken lust. Two peo-
ple get drunk and go to spend the
night together. He says what he
needs to get her in bed with him.
He professes his love to her, and
she believes him. The next
morning he is sober, and leaves
her to wonder why. "Jealousy" is
about what the title says, a
woman becomes angry and jeal-
ous when her man leaves her for
what she perceives as a beautiful,
no-brained social climber. She
would be satisfied if she knew
that he still thought of her.
Natalie then performs a song
that reminds me of the Grateful
Dead, "Where I Go." This song
is about the river she goes to
when everything becomes crazy.
The river soothes her mind. She
says "the mad pace, the hurry, the
trouble, the worries, let the river
take them all away" to explain
the soothing effect it has on her.
She closes the CD with one of
my personal favorites, "Seven
Years." This song is as full of
despair as nearly every other
song on the CD. It starts off with
a description of the love beyond
anything she feels for the man in
the song. She gave him seven
years of her life before she dis-
covered how he had betrayed and
lied to her. To her there is no
chance that she will ever accept
him back, for "I might forget you,
but not forgive."
This is a fine solo effort by a
woman who spent most of her
career with the "10,000
Maniacs." It is vintage Natalie
Merchant, and is a must for any-
one who was a 10,000 Maniacs
fan. I do, however, wish that
there was more hope in this CD.
That is one of the qualities I
always liked about Natalie
Merchant. She could always see
what was wrong, but she also had
a sense of hope that seeped into
her audience. Maybe her next
effort will provide more hope, It
would be a shame to lose the
glimmer of hope she always pro-
vided in the past.

cashier. Mays was subdued by
only three customers in Chet's at
the time — on-duty police offi-

ing out police calls throughout

deterred any robber).

a carjacker described as 5-foot-8,
about 170 pounds, yanked
Cecilia Laus, 54, out of her car

Pacer.
OVERREACTIONS
•In October, Richard S. King,
36, pleaded guilty to making
threatening and obscene phone
calls to two boys who were his
son's Little League teammates in
Blue Springs, Mo., to get them to
reconsider plans to quit the team.
According to prosecutors, King
called the boys several times dur-
ing a business trip to China,
threatened to kill one kid and his
parents and to commit sodomy to
the whole family.
•In October, Gerald Finneran,
described as one of the world's
leading authorities on Latin
America debt, was arrested at
JFK Airport in New York as he
disembarked from a United
Airlines flight form Buenos
Aires. According to passengers
and crew, he had lost his temper
when flight attendant refused to
serve him more liquor, assaulted
them, defecated on a serving cart,
cleaned himself with the airline's
first-class linens, and thus left an
odor that remained in the cabin
for the remaining four hours of
the flight. (The flight could not
be routinely rerouted to land
sooner because one of Finneran's
seat neighbors was the president
of Portugal, and flights contain-
ing head of state are harder to
divert).

Snowmobiling overrated as a safe sport by Dave Barry
Skiing is an exciitng winter
sport but it is not for everybody.
For example, it is not for sane
people. Sane people look at ski-
ing and they say: "WAIT a
minute. I'm supposed to attach
slippery objects to my feet and
get on a frozen chair dangling
from a scary-looking wire; men
get dumped off on a snow-cov-
ered slope so steep that the
mountain goats are wearing seat
belts; and then, if by some mira-
cle I am able to get back down
without killing myself, I'm sup-
posed to do this AGAIN?"
As I get older — which I am
currently doing at the rate of
about 5 years per year — this is
more and more how I view ski-
ing. I've been looking for an
alternative winter sport that does
not force a person to become so
intimately involved with gravity.
And so recently I went to Idaho
(official state motto: "Convenient
to Montana") to experience two
winter sports that seemed better
suited to the mature sportsperson
in the sense that you can do them
while sitting down. In an effort
to make my trip as tax-deductible
as humanly possible, I've decid-
ed to write a two part series about
these sports. This week's
Featured Winter Sport is " snow-
mobiling."
A snowmobile is a high-perfor-
mounted on a track and skis that
enable it to travel rapidly deep
into remote, snow-covered
wilderness areas, where it gets
stuck. Of course, I didn't know
this when I rented one. I knew
nothing, which is why I also rent-
ed snowmobiles for my 15-year-
old son Rob, and his 14-year-old
friend Ryan. It was going to be a
fun thing for us three guys to do
together; that is what I was say-
ing to myself as I signed a legal
release form ("...the undersigned
further agrees that he has not
actually read this form and just
wants to get the snowmobile
already and would in fact cheer-
fully sign anything placed in
front of him including a docu-
ment granting us the right to keep
both his ears as souvenirs").
We rented our snowmobiles at
a place called Smiley Creek
Lodge, which is in a place called
Smiley Creek, which pretty much
consists of the Smiley Creek
lodge. We also rented helmets
and jumpsuits so that we would
look as much as possible like the
Invasion of the Dork Tourists
From Space. A very nice man
showed us how to make the
snowmobiles go. He seemed
extremely calm, considering that
he was turning three powerful
and expensive machines over to
two adolescent boys and a humor
mance motorized vehichle columnist. I thought he'd give us

detailed instructions regarding
where we should go, but basical-
ly all he said was that we should
make an effort to remain in
Idaho.
This did not prove to be so
easy; not with Rob and Ryan at
the controls. They are wonderful
and intelligent boys, but they
have the common sense of table
salt. It's not their fault: Their
brains have not yet developed the
Fear Lobe. If you give them con-
trol over a motorized vehicle,
they are going to go at the fastest
possible speed, which on a mod-
ern snowmobile turns out to be
14,000 mph. They were leaving
trails of flaming snow behind
them. I tried to exercise Adult
Supervision by yelling, "HEY!
GUYS! BE CAREFUL! HEY!"
but they couldn't hear me,
because sound travels only so
fast.
So off we went, into the snow-
covered wilds of Idaho, with the
two Flaming No-Judgement
Blurs roaring ahead, followed at
an increasing distance by the
Rapidly Aging Shouting Man.
We would have been inside the
Arctic Circle by nightfall if Ryan
had not driven into the creek. It
was not his fault. He didn't see
the creek. Some idiot had failed
to put up a freeway-style sign
with 15 -foot-high letters saying
"CREEK," and so Ryan naturally
drove into it.
Since your modem snowmobile
weighs as much as a freight loco-
motive, we were unable to pull
Ryan's out, so he got on the back
of mine and we all rode sheepish-
ly back to the Smiley Creek
Lodge. There we learned that
another tourist party was also
having problems: A man had
gotten himself and his son stuck
in deep snow and they couldn't
get out. The man's wife, who had
not been wild about the snowmo-
biling idea in the first place, was
informing the lodge personnel
that she wanted her son back, but
as far as she was concerned, they
could leave her husband out
there. (She was kidding.) (Sort
of.)
While this drama was unfold-
ing, (ital) another (end ital) group
of tourists returned and
announced that they, too, had
planted a snowmobile some-
where out in Idaho.
None of this bothered the nice
snowmobile-rental man. He
calmly called in some local Idaho
men — soft-spoken, strong, com-
petent-looking men; the kind of
men who never get their snow-
mobiles stuck and could probably
survive for weeks in the wilder-
ness by eating pine cones. They
went out and rescued the father
and son, and then they went and
pulled all of the stuck snowmo-
biles. I realized that this was rou-
tine for them; on any given win-
ter day, probably two-thirds of
the Idaho population is busy
pulling tourist-abandoned snow-
mobiles out of creeks, snow-
banks, trees, mine shafts, condo-
miniums, etc.
So it all ended well, and the
boys thought snowmobiling was
the coolest thing we could have
done short of blowing up a build-
ing. I, on the other hand, was
looking for a more restful mode
of snow transportation, and I'm
pleased to report that I found one:
it requires no gasoline; it goes at
a nice safe speed; and it doesn't
get stuck. On the other hand, it
emits an amazing amount of wee-
wee.

•A pre-trial bearing will take
place this month in Lamar, MO.,
on Joyce Lehr's lawsuit against
the county lor injuries suffered in
a 1993 tall in the icy, unplowed
parking lot of the local high
school. The Carthage Press
reported that Lehr claims damage
to nearly everything in her body.
According to her petition: "All

dons, tissues, nerves, veins, arter-
ies, ligaments ... discs, cartilages,
and the joints of her body were
fractured, broken, ruptured,

SCHEMES
•Johnny Lee Nichols, 25, was
arrested in Rogers, Ark., in
October and accused of knocking
on doors of several homes around
3 a.m. and asking if anyone was
interested in exchanging drugs or
sex for some dynamite he had in
his car.
•A Russian parliament commit-
tee announced in November that
the country could not yet comply
with the world's ozone-protect-
ing chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)
ban treaty (which took effect in
January 19%). Russian scien-
tists proposed an alternative,
however, a 10-year, $100 billion
program in which a system of 30
to 50 satellites would bombard
the atmosphere with lasers in
order to stimulate production of
ozone an thus compensate for the
Russian CFCs.

•In August, Salinas, Calif.,
doughnut shop owner Harjest
Singh pleaded guilty to insurance
fraud. After an employee was

not an employee, because Singh
did not have worker compensa-

•Artist Charles Flagg, under
pressure from the town of Darien,
N.Y., because he was keeping an
unregistered car on his property
in violation of a zoning law, dug
a hole in his back yard in July,
buried half the car, front-end
down, and called it a sculpture.
•In Little Rock, Ark., in August,

According to a sheriff's detec-

rob the woman to buy bus tickets
to Nashville, Tenn., where they
intended to commandeer the
Grand Ole Opry hall and take

Kappa Alpha Psi serves community and campus
Highlighting our African American Brotherhood
by Charlotte Kunzler
Greek Writer
Kappa Alpha Psi, an African
American fraternity, is one of the
many organizations recognized
on the Clarion University cam-
pus.
The Kappa Alpha Psi fraterni-
ty has six active brothers at
Clarion.
These six members are
President, Lonn Courtney
Burney; Vice-President, Lamar
Lovelace; Treasurer, Sal
Miciotta; Secretary, Richard
Whitney; Alumni Representative,
Paul Sweeney; and Ralph E.
Golbelt an alumni of Clarion
University, who is currently
enrolled in the graduate program.
Kappa Alpha Psi has been a
part of Clarion University
approximately 23 years.
**
American organization on cam-
pus, with the exception of the
African American Student
Union.
Their fraternity was founded in
Indiana, at Indiana University on
January 5, 1911.
Burney, stated that," The frater-
nity has and is striving for excel-
lence, has a strong bond in broth-
erhood, and wants to achieve the
best that their fraternity can."
As a traditional fraternity, the
"Kappas", as they are informally
called, are guided by the
Interfraternity Council, just as all
other fraternities on campus.
Although the Kappas are a tra-
ditionally founded African
American organization, they do
not discourage people of differ-
ent backgrounds to join.
Burney stated mat, "Most new

"The brothers look for mem-

with the fraternity on the basis of academic, campus,
and community involvement. The brothers look for
members that are achievers and leaders."
-Lonn Courtney Burney,
President Kappa Alpha Psi
Their chapter has had active
members every year since.
The fraternity is the second
longest running African

As for the process of rushing

Psi.
After a new member has been
selected, they go through a train-
ing or pledge period and initia-
tion.
The pledge period varies and
it's purpose is to learn the infor-
mation and history they need to
know to become an active mem-
ber.
Kappa Alpha Psi's advisor is
Mr. John Derrik Lovelace, who
works in Davis Hall as an
Educational Opportunities
Advisor.
The brothers at the Clarion
chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi place
a great importance on communi-
ty services.
Last semester, the fraternity
hosted a canned food drive.
The canned food drive was
facilitated through a church in
Ford City, that added giving out
Turkeys to the needy.
They hosted a campus gather-
ing and each person that came,
brought two canned goods as
payment for participating.
After the canned foods were
gathered together and handed
over to the church.
In addition, the fraternity has
worked to raise money for the
Fight Against Muscular
Distrophy.
They are currently looking into
a project involving help at the
Abraxas Detention Center.
The brothers are attempting to
get together with high school stu-
dents at the detention center
under die age of 18, in order to
Photo courtesy of Kappa Alpha Psi
help the juveniles.
Besides these community ser-
vice projects, the brothers hope to
conduct a 50/50 fundraiser dur-
ing an upcoming basketball
game.
The raffle will possibly involve
foul shots to determine if a prize
will be won.
Since Kappa Alpha Psi has a
strong brotherhood and friend-
ship, they find it important to
keep in contact with their alum- .
nae who have graduated.
Their diverse brotherhood has
included many men with a vari-
ety of majors.
According to Burney, the fra-
ternity is making an attempt to
form a strong bond of brother-
hood through their diverse
achievements.

Lady Hoopers turn season around
By Chris Myers
Sports Writer
The best reason to love college
sports can be summed up in one
word — upset. Upsets are what
makes collegiate sports so excit-
ing and keeps you on the edge of
your seat. This word upset ended
up being a theme word for the
Clarion Golden Eagles women's
basketball team last week. In the
most recent years it was tough to
find a contest in which Clarion
was not favored but this has been
a little less than a typical year so
far.
Clarion entered last week in the
very cellar of the PSAC West
Division and in very unfamiliar
territory. This is especially true
since they have had an outstand-
ing 117-33 record over the past 5
seasons with 5 PSAC West
Division and 2 State Titles to
show from it. Their competition
for the week came in the form of
the California Lady Vulcans and
the 412 nationally ranked
Shippensburg Lady Raiders.
The Golden Eagles were com-
ing off their first win in 8 games
as they defeated UDC 83-73
heading into last Wednesday
night's contest. The win against
UDC is worth noting since it was
a career game for Mona Gaffney.
She poured in 37 points and
snatched 8 rebounds as she found
the trip to the nation's capitol to
be very much to her liking.
Clarion then headed into Tippin
Gym looking to find the help of
the Clarion crowd to assist them
in their first victory in PSAC
West competition after 5 straight
conference losses. The task at
hand in California would not be
easy as the Lady Vulcans were
rated #3 in the East Region in
women's basketball.
The contest started very slug-
gishly as the teams each could
only muster a single basket in the
first 4 plus minutes in the game.
Then Lori Dando and Erin
Collavo downed three-pointers to
vault Clarion to a 9-2 lead in the
still early going. The lead slowly
grew to 15
on ajw~per by Tina Skelley. Then
it topped out a 20 point differ-
ence, 37-17, as Mona Gaffney
spun in the lane and left the Lady
Vulcans in their tracks on a
layup.
California t started to chip away
at this rather large deficit. They
slowly eased the deficit to nine
on a Theresa Habat jumper to
head to the half trailing 40-31.
California more importantly went
intto the locker room with a great
deal of momentum to build upon.
The second half began as the
Kelli Torboli show kicked off
with a six point burst. It was
topped off for California by
Tricia Ilrinda's short jumper to
make it 43-42 and the Lady
Vulcans first lead. The lead
change proved to be die start of a
"dog fight" that would transpire
in me second half of the action.
The action would turn out 4 ties
and 3 lead changes to prove how
close this tough contest was. The
last minute of play kept you right

where all good college action
does which is on the edge of the
seat. Gaffney bombed in a three-
pointer, just her second on the
year, and began her dominance of
this most crucial part of the
game. She then downed another
layup to tie the game at 71-71
and completed the play with a
made foul shot. California made
a foul shot on their next trip to tie
it once again until Gaffney once
again made another trip to the
line herself She stepped up and
downed both shots and enabled
Clarion to pick up their first vic-
tory 74-72 in a thriller.
Gaffney led all scorers with 24
points and Erin Collavo added a
strong 12 points as well. Clarion
finally had their first PSAC West
victory after 5 very frustrating
losses. The road got no easier as
the #12 ranked Shippensburg
Keith Soforic/Clarion Call
The Golden Eagles travel to Lock Haven Saturday, and return home next Wednesday.
Lady Raiders were next on the
schedule.
The Golden Eagles were on a
mission to Shippensburg to
avenge an overtime defeat in
Clarion to the same team 99-85.
The earlier game was one where
Clarion knew all too well that a
win was let slip away that early
January afternoon.
The two teams came out and
played a half that couldn't be
much more even. Clarion slipped
out to the early lead on a three-
pointer by Lori Dando at 14-9.
The Lady Raiders answered back
and showed they deserved their
ranking turning the tide to their
own 32-23 lead. Clarion then
showed their poise and came
back behind their force, Mona
Gaffney once again. Their fight
found them tied at the half 39-39
with Gaffney putting in 13 of the
points.
The final half proved to be even
more of "barn burner."
Shippensburg flexed their muscle
to begin as they came out and
established yet anodier lead. This
time it was by 8 points on Ashley
Toledo's free throw. Then almost
like clockwork the Golden
Eagles pounced back for their
own 15-3 run topped off by an
Erin Collavo drive.
Clarion would build this new
found lead until it reached 13, 79-
66, compliments of Lori Dando
from "downtown" three-point
range. The Lady Raiders had
only lost two games for a reason
as they once again erased a
Clarion lead and tied the contest
at 82-82 with 47 seconds to go.
The shot of the game came with
the clock winding down
Clarion's steady point guard,
Amy Migyanka, downed a big
three-pointer. Shippensburg 's
Totedo had two shots in the last 4
seconds to win the game but fell
short and the Golden Eagles fin-
ished their upset week winning
85-84.
The winning effort as usual was
instrumented by none other than
Mona Gaffney. In the upset win
she tallied 26 points and cleared
17 rebounds in another big per-
formance. Gaffney was then
named for her third time this sea-
son as the PSAC-West "Player of
the Week."
She scored 50 points and
grabbed 25 rebounds in the two
upset victories. Mona now needs
just 50 points to move into sec-
ond place in all-time Clarion
scoring as she trails former team-
mate, Shannon Coakley. Also
with Mona's 17 rebounds last
Saturday in Shippensburg she
became just the 4th PSAC
women's player to now have
1,500 points and 1,000 rebounds
now having 1,007 rebounds to
her credit.
The Golden Eagles (9-11, 2-5 in
PSAC-West) look to continue to
turn things around as they try to
avenge earlier losses two more
PSAC teams.
Edinboro who they fell 79-76
battled Clarion last night and
they travel to Lock Haven this
Saturday at 3:00 p.m.

Shippensburg slows down soaring Eagles
by Tim Rafalski
Sports Writer
When you combine the second
and fifth ranked scoring teams in
the league with the fact that they
are also last and third from last in
defense, ladies and gentlemen,
you're going to get a shootout.
That's exactly what Clarion was
in store for when they traveled to
Shippensburg on Saturday only
to come away with a disappoint-
ing 84-79 loss.
Clarion (11-8, 3-4) jumped out
to an early lead as Wayne
Fletcher drilled one from way
downtown to put them ahead 5-2.
Ship (11-9, 3-4) took over the
lead 9-7 after Kevin Lee sank
two free throws with three min-
utes gone in the game.
In a game full of lead changes
and tie scores it was Clarion's
tum to pull ahead as Alvin Maloy
dropped in back-to-back three-
pointers giving the visitors a 21-
16 lead.
With 10 minutes left in the half,
Ship turned the tides once again
with a 8-0 run that put them
ahead 29-24.
Oronn Brown bucketed seven
points over the next five minutes
to help bring the Golden Eagles
within one at 41-40.
Two Brandon White three's and
a Lee free-throw put Ship ahead
by eight with two minutes left in
the half.
Clarion responded with baskets

Presidential Curse
in the 20th Century
The German Jewish Holocaust brings constant publicity while the presiden-
tial curse on innocent Americans is constantly covered up in all our media.
Since Rudolph Hertz in 1895 accidentally invented the subliminal mind con-
trol microphone and speaker, our presidents have yearly issued secret exec-
utive orders to satisfy all leaders in a dozen areas of concern of subliminal
mind control. Many of us worry that these secret executive orders will lead to
a permanent dictator <as president. In 1942, mail censorship was added by
Franklin Roosevelt. Military leaders made it a deserved national security
issue. Men of God demanded and got a modern ugly religious inquisition,
which is far worse than in previous history for this harms vast numbers of
innocents. This is now a pork barrel bureaucratic nightmare which wastes bil-
lions of tax dollars. Since business states this will be the advertising, market-
ing and sales of the future, almost all have experimental subliminal radios on
their properties. You have heard of subliminal radio tapes telling customers
not to steal which are quite successful. Increased sales are a bonus of these
subliminals. Personnel departments are experimenters in training, in opera-
tion and eliminating employees. In every war, militaries have used subliminals
on their troops. Since lawyers and judges are forbidden to test subliminal
mind control criminal cases in court, unnecessary crimes are increasing.
Many victims are in mental hospitals, prisons, and cemeteries. Our govern-
ment has caused murder, death, divorce, drugs, destruction, poverty, perse-
cution, discrimination, suicide, rape, slavery, homosexuality, family separa-
tion, and stunted blighted lives. This 'anything goes" attitude, when a mind
control victim commits a subliminal mind control crime, is over loading our
courts. incfMMS subliminal crime and harms all of us. This is one of the rea-
sons our justice system fails. Our federal judges refuse to allow a court win
against our postal service of mail censorship. Mail censorship grows yearly as
victims must be denied warnings, information as this flyer, or financial help in
lighting against this inquisition. All media must ignore this ugliness for citizens
would scream to stop it. This is a perfect example of our failure in education
and media to teach, to inform, to warn and expose. Subliminal radios transmit
a lower radio wave (infrasonic) or a higher wave (ultrasonic) than normal
sound. Every vibration, pitch, intensity, variation of the wave word bit in fre-
quency strike ones ears which are fooled since no sound is heard. Your ears
sends these subliminal word bit waves to your brain which thinks it is thinking
a thought since there is no noise sound. As this radio invention advances,
mind controllers can speak out of a persons mouth. You can't trust your own
mouth as the words might be someone elses. It is hard to believe how much
terrible grief can be caused by someone else speaking out of innocents
mouths. For the innocent victims, who are called paranoid schizophrenics, all
government becomes an enemy. These innocent victims become scape goat
comics to be laughed and tricked by all in justice, media, business and all gov-
ernment departments. To add to our grief, we are being used as medical
guinea pigs without our consent, knowledge or payment. You must complain
to your man or woman of God and religion to stop this modern inquisition.
America is being turned into a shame and disgrace by our leaders. Our gen-
eral decline in morality, honesty and decency can be blamed on this stupid

by Chris Hughes, Gregg Frist,
and Fletcher, reducing Ship's
lead to 48-47 at halftime.
Frist led the way for Clarion in
the first half scoring 12 points
and pulling down four rebounds.
White paced Ship with 15 points.
Fletcher came out of halftime
with the "Midas Touch" scoring
six points in a minute and a half
to help know the score at 54 each.
Two of those basket came via
special delivery with the return
address marked Oronn Brown.
Clarion and Ship traded baskets
over the next seven minutes
before the Golden Eagles finally
took back the lead on a Jamie
Polak long bomb with just under
ten minutes left in the game.
That lead didn't last long
though as Ship took off on a 12-0
run that put them ahead 78-68
with three minutes left in regula-
tion.
A Brown three-pointer was
matched by three Ship free
throws and the lead stayed at ten
with just over a minute left to
play.
Clarion was able to pull within
three with 15 seconds left thanks
in part to some clutch shooting
and a lapse in memory from two
of Ship's players.

free throws and John Doman

a combined 1-7 from the charity
stripe.
Clarion's final shot went into
the hands of Polak, their top
three-point shooter, but his offer-
ing was off the mark. Ship's
Wayne Morris grabbed rebound
and passed upcourt to Lee who
went in for an uncontested dunk
at the buzzer giving the hosts a
84-79 victory.
Fletcher led Clarion's scoring
effort with 19 points to go along
with four rebounds and three
steals.
Frist dropped in 14 points while
grabbing five rebounds and five
steals. He was also honored with
his third PSAC West "Rookie of
the Week" award after averaging
14 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3
steals in the Golden Eagles two
games.
Brown had another great all-
around performance with 14
points, five assists, four
rebounds, two steals, and a
blocked shot.

The Penalty Box
By Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
Welcome back to the Penalty Box.
Let me start this week's edition by
telling you there is no finer feeling
in sports than getting revenge on a
team or person who scorned you in
the past. Colorado's Patrick Roy had
his chance this week when his
Avalanche squad played Montreal on
Monday. For those asleep about a
month ago, Roy was traded for
three Denver players after erupting
on Canadien management after
being pulled out of a game by
Canadien head coach Mario
Tremblay. One of those players was
current Montreal goalie Jocelyn
Thibeau, who has a better record than
Roy since the trade. After skating to
1-1 tie after two periods, the
Avalanche put two quick goals by
Thibeau early in the third and then
Roy took over, turning shot after
shot away as Colorado eventually
won the game. At one point during
the game, Roy made a save and then
flicked the puck out of the zone in
the direction of Coach Tremblay as
to say, thanks, but no thanks for
trading me." Roy later said that the
"errant pass" was just "for fun." You
gotta love Roy for his playful charac-
ter after the potential career changing
trade. If the Avalanche win the
Stanley Cup, that trade can be
argued to be the biggest trade in the
last five or six years.
NHL AND NIKE MERGE Nike has
sunk its merchandising teeth into the
NHL, signing a contract that will let
Nike design uniforms for approxi-
mately 5-6 teams, and use NHL
stars in a series of commercials. I
wonder if Spike Lee is a hockey fan?
I haven't seen him rinkside at a
Ranger game in years. I don't think
hockey would be his cup of tea
because if he tries to talk an
opposing player out of his game,
he might find himself toothless at
the end of the night. Seriously
though, this merger, can only do
good for the NHL. It will get their
stars more mainstream in the
American public and might, down
the road, have all the major televi-
sion networks bidding for a broad-
cast contract.
BASEBALL GETS "FOXY " The
Penalty Box is your full-service
sports column, so let us look out-
side the rink. Fox announced last
week that it will cover Major
League Baseball this summer. It
named its broadcasters, and one of
those mentioned was Harry
Caray's son, Skip. I wonder if he
will be slobbering drunk announc-
ing the game with his shirt off by
the seventh inning like just his
dad? Just kidding Harry, you're a
legend.
THE PRO BOWL-WHO
CARES ? Did anybody watch the
Pro Bowl last Sunday? Was it even
on TV? Who won? These are
some of many questions I over-
heard this week on campus. The
NFL has got to do something
about the image the Pro Bowl has
acquired over the years. It's nice
for the players because they get to
go to Hawaii expense free and play
flag football for an afternoon, but
fan- wise it's a stinky concept. I've
got a good idea! Why doesn't Fox
bring the the "blue dot" from the
NHL All Star game and put it on
the football? It was disclosed this
week that Baltimore's new fran-
chise name will be the Mustangs
instead of keeping the Browns
from Cleveland.

Spring Musical sets sail in Marwick Boyd
Spring Musical
By Emily Wilson
LifestylesWriter
Marwick Boyd Auditorium
opened its doors on Wednesday
night for the winter musical
"Anything Goes."
The story takes place in the
1930's aboard a ship about to
set sail. Debutant Hope
Harcourl, played by freshman
Amy Irwin is engaged to Lord
Evelyn Oakley, who is played
by junior Wesley Craig.
A twist is added to the story
because even though Hope
Harcourt is engaged to Lord
Evelyn, she is secretly in love
with Billy Crocker, played by
freshman Ryan Cummings.
The story unfolds from there
as a cast of over 30 gives a
splendid performance, taking
you back to the times of the
prohibition.
The cast members light up the
stage with dance numbers
throughout the musical. The
musical's choreographer, Dayna
Shaw, exhibits great talent as
the dancers perform a variety of
numbers, ranging from tap to
jazz. "Anything Goes" is
directed by Marilouise Michel,
who also teaches dance and
acting classes here at Clarion
University.
"There are a number of
versions of this play," says
Marilouise Michel, Assistant
Professor of Speech
Communication and Theatre
and director of the play. "We
will be doing the most recent
revival known as the Beaumont
Theatre Version.
It was originally performed in
1934 and is purely for fun.
There is a lot of great music that
has become timeless."
The rest of the cast includes:
Ginger Wolfe as Reno Sweeny,
Brian Kapustik as gangster
Moonface Martin, Nya
Watkins as Martin's mom,

OPINION
Editorial
Matthew
Geesey
I would like to take this time to
introduce myself and address a
serious problem on campus and
around the world. My name is
Matthew Geesey and I am the
Clarion Call 's
new news editor.
I am writing an editorial this
week concerning the last two edi-
torials that we have had. The two
editorials addressed significant
problems here on campus.
In our first issue, the editorial
was about the parking situation
that we have on campus. Our last
issue included an editorial about
the quality of food at Chandler
Dining Hall. My editorial this
week will also address a serious
problem. The problem is too
many people complain about
problems that they face but they
don't do anything to try to solve
them. I will be an optimist this
week and will try to highlight
some of the outstanding things
that are happening on campus
right in front of our eyes.
Taking a look at Clarion
University's enrollment figures
for last fall, a good thing jumps
out at you. Clarion University
had an enrollment increase of
4%! Out of all of the State
System of Higher Education
(SSHE) schools, we had the high-
est increase. Most schools didn't
even have an increase. Some had
a decrease in enrollment.
Currently, Clarion is also off to a
good start for next fall. There are
1600 hopefuls for next year's
freshman class.
A big push is being made for
Clarion to get off of the on-ramp
for the information superhighway
and cruise in the passing lane
instead. Last semester, Clarion
University created a World Wide
Web site for the Internet. This
contains a lot of information
about the university that is being
down-loaded by both businesses
and incoming freshmen. This
semester sees the creation of a
"Clarion University Student
Newswire" that will be available
for every student who has an e-
mail account. This newsletter
highlights planned university
events and even spotlights stu-
dents with outstanding achieve-
ments. The newsletter is com-
piled by Mr. Ron Wilshire and
the University Relations depart-
ment. If you are the kind of per-
son who might have deleted it,
take a look at it next time. I think

When I heard the news last
Thursday, February 8th, I was
completely dumfounded. It was
the kind of news that nobody
wants to get. Two of my friends
were dead from a car accident
early that morning, around 1:30
a.m. For one of them it was their
21st birthday. The accident was a
result of drinking and driving,
combined with slick road condi-
tions.
Both Tyson Schlosser and
Tracy Williams attended Clarion
University, but they left in the
spring of 1995. They were joined
at the hip, practically inseparable.
They were like brothers. It only
seems right that they spent their
last hours together.
Tyson was one of the most real
people I knew. He was also one
of the most polite, and nicest peo-

pie there are. He would give his
last five dollars to help a friend
out. Tyson was a true individual
and a great friend. He was also a
great artist. I'll always remember
this painting he did of a pale
white girl with huge blue eyes
and dark blue hair, so beautiful,
and yet the background was omi-
nous and brooding. He always
said the girl in the painting was
the ideal. He was philosophical,
and he opened my eyes to other
points of view. He made us laugh
with some of his antics. The one
memory I will always hold close
to my heart about Tyson was
when he said how he was a car-
toon character because he refused
to live life the way others did. In
his words, "why should I cut my
nails if I don't live in other peo-
ple's reality?" That's the way I
want to remember Tyson, as the
guy who stood in front of us,
spouting insane phrases to make
us all laugh.
Tracy was one of the most cyn-
ical people I knew. He would find
that one little thing about every-
one that would get them all fired
up. He picked on me a lot, but a
smile on his face always fol-
lowed to reassure me that he was
joking. He would also back-hand
people to get their attention. That
was his way of telling you he
liked you, although it was very
much like elementary school.
Tracy didn't let too many peo-
ple get really close to him, he
didn't open up to just anybody. I
was lucky enough to get that
chance. With a lot of people
around, he seemed like a guy
who just cracked jokes, but if you
could get him on a one-on-one
basis, he showed a side that you
would never expect. Deep down,
there beat a heart of pure gold.
He was sensitive and kind. He
would show you his fears and his
dreams. But in order to witness
this, you had to prove to him that
he could trust you. Tracy was
hysterically funny most of the
time. He left a language in
Clarion that you can still hear
around his friends, words like
"sketchy" and phrases like "my
man."
And that's how I would like to
remember Tracy, a guy who was
a grizzly bear on the outside, but
a teddy bear on the inside.
The bad news brought all of us
back together, people traveled
from far distances to come back
for their funerals. We took three
carloads up to Saegertown, Tyson
and Tracy's home town. It was
really hard for everybody, espe-
cially looking at the pictures on
the caskets. I hadn't cried yet,
which really disturbed me. These
were two great friends, taken so
brutally, and I couldn't find an
emotion yet. Everyone was too
stunned to have any feelings,
except shock.
One by one, we all felt our
extreme loss.
I don't want this to turn
preachy, but the subject must be
brought up. Tyson and Tracy did-
n't' deserve to go out the way
they did. They were dropped off
in the middle of town so there
would be no chance for them to
drink and drive. They were sup-
posed to stay at a friend's house
in town but, somehow, they got a
car. Now, two people are dead,
the driver may not survive, and
the other is in serious condition. I
know when a person turns 21,
they want to go barhopping, I
did. But I can't stress enough
how important it is to have a des-
ignated driver. Maybe you think
you're invincible because you've
made it home driving drunk
before, or riding with someone
who was driving drunk, but I
consider you just plain lucky that
you didn't kill yourself or any-
body else. Please don't make
your family and friends go
through what those of us who
held Tyson and Tracy close to our
hearts are dealing with now. We
all lost a son, brother, and friend
that morning. I don't like the fact
that I feel like I'm getting used to
losing friends to car accidents,
they are my third and fourth in
the past 3 years. Nobody should
have to feel this way. There is no
excuse for drinking and driving,
there is always a choice.
The real reason why I write this
is because I want to heal, I want
us all to heal. And the only way
to keep Tyson and Tracy alive at
this point is to stick together,
comfort each other, and relive the
stories of our infamous "Slack
Shack." I hope that as long as we
do this, Tyson and Tracy will live
as long as we do.

READER RESPONSES
An open letter to the Clarion County Board of Commissioners
History of a fashion suddenly and
astoundingly was made recently in
Clarion County. The New
Officialdom, in the persons of three
Commissioners, surprised their
citizenry, not with any new ideas or
wisdom, but with a pretentious and
unquestioning readiness to begin
each of their public sessions with
prayer. No doubt to some it makes
their hallowed faces shine.
Whether or not it offends numerous
minorities, is reasonable,
responsible, proper or even legal to
combine their private and personal
religious inclinations, superficial
though they may be, with their
official responsibilities, apparently
never entered their thoughts or
imaginations. Which, of course,
might cause us to wonder how and
why we ever sorted them out in two
separate elections.
One would suppose that they
somehow strangely believe each of
us share their particular mindset.
Therefore one wonders what
exposure they have had and where
they have been for their fifty some
years. Has selfishness blinded them
to the mere possibility that human
vision might offer differing
philosophies beyond their own?
"Men," Montaigne noted, "are apt to
believe what they least understand."
Despite our rural isolation, most of
us, excluding our Commissioners, of
course, understand that even
Christians come in many hues and
that one might find Jews (also in
different hues), Quakers, Moslems,
Hindus, Buddhists, non-believers,
pagans and others are citizens in
their midst.
One surely must wonder what
arrogance, what unmitigated gall can
possess three very newly elected
officials who have yet to get their
"feet on the ground," to presume to
inflict, indeed to impose in broad
daylight, their particular personal
version of the universe on one and
all.
One just as surely must suspect
that public prayer is mere posturing,
a self-serving and ostentatious
device to create an image, to win not
only personal support and
acceptance, but to secure otherwise
undeserved endorsement for
whatever decisions they might come
to. It is highly doubtful that the
three bowed heads of our
Commissioners is meant to ask
forgiveness for whatever sins they
are about to commit. Separation of
church and state is A
CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLE
AND A VALUE OF SUPREME
IMPORTANCE TO MAINTAIN
THE AUTHORITY OF EACH OF
THOSE INSTITUTIONS, but
unfortunately not recognized or
honored by those with personal
agendas, or fundamentalist extremist
notions, which take preference over
the public good.
If prayer has value then it surely
must be a private venture, rather
than being demeaned by a
superficial exercise in the public
arena where it is hardly more than
pretentious self-righteous posturing.
Furthermore, is it not arrogant to
have assumed opposition to this
practice would not arise? Let it be
abundantly clear that should this
arrogant and intolerant exercise
continue as part of public meetings,
those of us who find this insensitive
activity an assault not only on
minorities, as well as on liberty, then
we must take legal action.
Responsible commissioners would
conclude that public funds cannot be
expended for such a needless legal
venture.
Has it not occurred to these public
officials that they have the freedom
to pray, even in their offices,
privately on their own for well over
one hundred hours each week and
with the blessing of one and all?
But then who would observe their
saintly approach to the public need?
The Commissioners are, in effect,
as is often the case, distorting and
misusing Christianity to express A
BLATANT INSENSITIVITY AND
INTOLERANCE toward many of
their fellow citizens. Clearly
intolerance is not the path to
understanding, peace, justice, liberty
or some imaginary heaven. This
petition represents the views of at
least a significant minority, therefore
the writer has no responsibility AT
THIS POINT to be personally
identified. Maintaining as I do that
prayer is, as it should be. a personal
and private matter, it requires no
persona] identification be made so
long as it can be avoided. I choose
NOT TO ENGAGE IN PUBLIC
DISPLAY OF PERSONAL BELIEF
as the Commissioners do in as much
as that is the very behavior to which
I object. A citizen deeply concerned
with die inappropriate behavior of a
public body there should be no need
therefore to become the object of
intolerant ridicule, which is exactly
what it would become in its most
exaggerated form. Furthermore,
responsibility for this objection, lies
not with those of us who object, but
WITH THE THREE
COMMISSIONERS WHO RAISED
THIS NEEDLESS AND
UNUSUAL PRACTICE.

Senate approves education bill
H ARR1SBURG - A commission to develop new academic
standards for public school students would be required to consider
public input under a bill passed Tuesday by the state Senate.
But Gov. Tom Ridge would also get to exert his influence under
the bill, which would create the State Education Standards
Commission. The measure, adopted unanimously by the upper
chamber, now goes to the House.
Under the bill, a 12-member commission would develop a
recommendation on what students in public schools must
accomplish in order to graduate. The commission would focus on
math, science, reading and writing.
Clinton to visit flooded state areas
President Clinton plans to tour flood damage in Wilkes-Barre on
Friday, but Gov. Tom Ridge, who had criticized the president's
response to last month's Pennsylvania flooding, initially said he
had other plans.
As of Tuesday evening, spokesman Tim Reeves said he was
"optimistic the governor will be able to attend at least a portion of
the president's visit."
In an earlier interview Tuesday, Ridge said he already had a full
schedule in northwest Pennsylvania on Friday and it was unlikely

Committee OKs charter
schools bill
HARRISBURG - After several stalled votes, the House
Education Committee on Tuesday approved a bill to create a new
kind of independent school, but it's not what Gov. Tom Ridge
envisioned, said a spokesman.
Ridge will not approve the bill for charter schools as it
currently stands, said Sean Duffy, spokesman for the State
Department of Education.
Charter schools are intended to be independent and created by
local communities. They would be free of most state requirements.
Ridge wants the state Secretary of Education to be able to
overrule a school board's decision not to grant a charter. But the
House bill, proposed by Rep. Jess Stairs, R-Westmoreland, strips
the secretary of that power and leaves the decision solely to the
school board.
Jury splits decision
in Joan Collins case
NEW YORK - The court fight over Joan Collins' two steamy
novels ended in a split decision Tuesday. A jury found she had
finished one book for publisher Random House but failed to
deliver the second.
The ruling means the former "Dynasty" star should receive
more money from the two-book S4 million deal she signed in
1990. Random House had rejected two of her manuscripts and
sued for return of a $1 .3 million advance. Collins countersued for
the rest of the S4 million.

The Political Science
Association
Interest Group
By Renee Stonier
According to a survey
conducted by the Washington
Post, the Kaiser Family
Foundation and Harvard
University, American political
efficacy is no higher than it was
during the 1940's.
The survey revealed some
startling facts about what
Americans know and don't know
about politics and government!
Of the 1514 adults interviewed,
40 percent did not know who the
Vice President of the United
States was, 76 percent could not
name both of their U.S. Senators,
and 67 percent did not know the
identity of their U.S. House
efficiently and a newly renovated
Founders Hall.
Some other positive things at
Clarion are personal individual
achievement . Recently, all six
students who took the actuary
exam passed at the same time.
This doesn't happen quite often.
Kale Fithian, a junior from
Mercer, qualified for the national
tournament in forensics at
Western Illinois University. The
Clarion University cheerleading
squad has also made the national
cheerleading championships that
are to be held in Florida.
Now, I suppose you probably
think that I am the biggest
optimist in the world. 1 am not. I
just like to look for the good
things in life. At Clarion, we
seem to have quite a few things
so 1 am happy. For now....

Representative.
In fact, 37 percent of those
surveyed did not know if their
representative was a Republican
or a Democrat and 25 percent
did not know if their
representative was a man or a
woman.
Knowing their elected officials
is not the only problem for
Americans. When asked
questions concerning current
issues such as the federal budget,
Medicare and Medicaid
spending, foreign aid
appropriations and the size of the
bureaucracy, over 50 percent of
those interviewed either
answered the questions
incorrectly or could not respond.
This survey also indicated that
those who were more
knowledgeable about politics
were more likely to vote or be
members of an interest group.
Those less informed were
found to have a greater distrust
of the government and a more
negative attitude toward politics
in general.
News from Iowa: Republican
Presidential candidate Bob Dole
captured a victory by winning
Monday's Iowa Caucus with 26
percent of the votes.
Dole was followed by Pat
Buchanan with 23 percent,
Lamar Alexander with 18
percent, and Steve Forbes with
10 percent.
Dole's victory was somewhat
anticipated, however, his narrow
margin of victory was a surprise
for "Iowa's Third Senator."
Dole has little time to relish his
victory with New Hampshire
only days away.
Furthermore, no candidate,
with the exception of Bill
Clinton in 1992, has ever won
the White House without
carrying New Hampshire.
Pat Buchanan's solid second
place was partly due to strong
support from Religious Right
conservatives who are always
influential in Iowa.
In 1988, it was Religious Right
supporters who lifted Pat
Robertson to a victory over
George Bush in Iowa. However,
Buchanan's numbers are still
climbing.
Joining the front-runners with
his third place victory is former
Governor of Tennessee, Lamar
Alexander.
Alexander attributes is strong
showing to his anti-negative, no
mudslinging campaign.
With the media turning more
attention to Alexander, his poll
numbers in New Hampshire and
other early primary states are
steadily on the rise.
Forbes finished in what many
analysts call a "disappointing
fourth" after spending millions
on television spots promoting the
flat tax and attacking the other
candidates. However, Forbes is
looking on the New Hampshire
and Arizona where he has a
strong hold in the polls.

Alan Keyes' grass-roots campaign comes to Clarion
by Matthew Geesey
News Editor
The race for the presidency is
currently a very close race.
Incumbent President Bill Clinton
is expected to win the
Democratic nomination. The
Republican nomination is still
pending.
Front-runners Sen. Bob Dole,
Senate majority leader and
Steven Forbes, a publisher, are
expected to be in the lead when
the Republican convention
arrives.
Other contenders in the race
are Lamar Alexander, a former
Tennessee governor; Patrick
Buchanan, a television commen-
tator, and Sen. Phil Gramm from
Texas.
One of the contenders that
many Americans haven't heard
of is Alan Keyes. A volunteer
from his campaign presented his
platform views last Friday night
at the Holiday Inn.
A video presentation was
shown which included excerpts
of his flamboyant speeches. A
very effective speaker, Keyes
started a grass roots campaign to
show voters a different view to
the presidential race. He plans to
have his name on the ballot in
Pennsylvania's primary on April
16.

anyone who was unfamiliar with
Keyes' views on current issues.
Keyes feels that the nation's
social and economic problems
arise from declining morality,
discipline, and responsibility.
Many of his speeches tie into the
integration of the "marriage-
based, two-parent family".
A pro-life Christian, Keyes is
adamently against abortion and
euthanasia. Euthanasia is the
process of assisted suicide.
Keyes believes that the abolish-
ment of our "culture of death"
Bonnie Fisher/Clarion Call
campaign presented the nominee at the Holiday Inn last
will result in an increase in
humanity.
The most current issue facing
candidates is how to balance the
nation's budget effectively.
Keyes feels that in order to cut
government spending, the
President needs to cut taxes.
Keyes believes that a good place
to start is to abolish income tax.
He would also like to implement
a national sales tax.
The issue of affirmative action
is very simple for Keyes to
express his view.
Whenever he is asked by a
reporter to state his view, he
holds up his NAACP member-
ship card and reads one of the
organization's stated principles:
"To secure equal job opportuni-
ty based upon individual merit
without regard to race, religion,
or national origin."
Keyes is the only black candi-
date in the presidential race.
A big addition to Keyes' cam-
paign is the opportunity to pur-
chase video and audio tapes of
his speeches.
An 800 number was created to
offer voters to order tapes and to
obtain additional information
from his campaign headquarters.
A Keyes Voice Mail System is
also offered to voters for a
monthly fee.
Alan Keyes is a powerful figure
in the political field. A
Donnerstown, Maryland resident,
Keyes has run twice for the U.S.
Senate for Maryland.
He has challenged liberal
Democrats Paul Sarbanes and
Barbara Mikulski.
Keyes has served in the U.S.
Foreign Service and on the staff
of the National Security Council
before becoming Ronald
Reagan's ambassador to the
United Nations Economic and
Social Council.
He served as deputy to Jeanne
Kirkpatrick representing the
United States in the U.N. General
Assembly.
Keyes was also appointed
Assistant Secretary of State for
International Organization
Affairs which he served until
1987.
Keyes was President of Citizens
Against Government Waste and
the founder of the organization's
National Taxpayers' Action Day.
Currently, Keyes presents a
nationally syndicated call-in
radio show, "The Alan Keyes
Show: America's Wake-up Call."
Faculty Senate expresses concern for faculty development
by Christina Sanzari
News Writer
The Faculty Senate has
expressed concern over the fund-
ing for Faculty Professional
Development.
According to the Faculty
Senate, funding has not proceed-
ed according to the commitment
made based upon the recommen-
dations of the Action Planning
Team.
In 1991, the administration
brought in outside consultants to
identify the needs of the universi-
ty and to help them establish
goals. Action Planning Teams
were assigned to design solutions
to the goals sited.
At this time, a commitment to
the Faculty Professional
Development was made based
upon the recommendations of the
APT.
There seems to be disagreement
over what the specific agreement
was. The Faculty Senate states
that the commitment was for
$30,000 for 1993-1994, $60,000
for 1994-1995. and $90,000 for
1995-1996 resulting in a cumula-
tive deficit of 560,000.
By contrast, University
President Dr. Diane Reinhard,
says that the fund was supposed
to be $30,000 each year resulting

keep current on new technology
and ideas.
It also provides moneys for
travel costs for various faculty

"I think that the commitment of

Renovations for Founders Hall to begin this year
by Sue Hartman
News Writer
Plans are being made tor reno-
vations to begin on Founders
Hall, loeated on the comer of
Ninth Avenue and Wood Street
beside Hart Chape. The oldest
building on campus was vacated
in January even though there is
no exact date when the renova-
tions will begin.
The building needed to be
vacated so it could be inspected
and design plans can then be sub
mined.
The plans have been submitted
to the state and are now in a
design face phase. The school is
now awaiting the release of state
funds to be earmarked for con-
struction. After the project is
underway, it will take a projected
fifteen months until completion.
The changes are being planned
to secure the protection and over-
all structural stability of the
building.
Among the changes are the
addition of an elevator as well as
new classrooms, offices, and a
computer lab.
There are also plans to replace
heating, plumbing, electrical
wiring, and to upgrade the fire
alarm system to bring everything
up to safety codes.

Application has been made by
Clarion University for a NASA
Joint Venture grant, a three-year
research alliance.
NASA makes these three-year
alliances with colleges to stimu-
late earth and space science
research at institutions which
ordinarily do not conduct
research at that level.
Dr. Anthony Vega, assistant
professor of geography and earth
science at Clarion University,
says, "If accepted, Clarion will
examine the potential impact of
climate change and variability on
the Susquehanna River basin. "
"We will analyze the climatic
variations of the past and use
computer models to examine the
future given changes due to
national and human enhanced
global warming. The study would
determine water resource
changes in the basis as they
examine effects on people, agri-
culture, land use and other activ-
ities."
Currently, the NASA Joint
Venture is in operation in 81
institutions in 45 states.
It includes 164 faculty research
associates, 54 faculty research
alumni, and 146 mentors within
the program.
Among the institutions success-
fully completing the venture are
Auburn, Florida Institute of
Technology, Northwestern, Texas
Southern, University of Georgia,
University of Montana, the
University of Nebraska.
Vanderbilt, and West Virginia
University.
The research involves fields
such as astrophysics, space

A new service from Clarion
University's University Relations
office is the introduction of a stu-
dent newsletter into the electron-
ic mail accounts in the VAXA
computer system. The newsletter,
known as the "Clarion University
Student Newswire," was inspired
by a similar service being provid-
ed to the faculty and staff of
Clarion University for the past
three semesters. The student ver-
sion of the newsletter was first
implemented in the third week of
this semester.
"We looked to be able to mail a
newsletter to the students last
year, but we didn't have the com-
puter capacity. Now we have the
capacity to mail to all students,"
reported Ronald Wilshire,
Director of University Relations.
The newsletter contains a vari-
ety of information which is all
related to the Clarion student's
interest. The first one contained
scholarship information, recogni-
tion for outstanding student
achievement, planned university
events, and general Clarion
University news.
"We try to make them [the
newsletters] student-oriented,
and we are open to any sugges-
tions students might have," said
Wilshire.
Wilshire, and others in the
University Relations department,
believe that computers are
becoming an important mode of
communication. They are work-
ing closely with the staff of the
University Computer Center to
make the necessary adjustments.
"We'll be experimenting with it
[the newsletter] throughout the
semester," reported Wilshire,
"and we're looking at it as part of
a campus wide marketing plan to
improve the internal communica-
tions of Clarion University."
Several students who had actu-
ally seen the "Clarion University
Student Newswire" reported that
they did not actually take time to
read the newsletter. The common
response to the newsletter was
illustrated by Amy Durkin, a
junior communications major,
who said, "1 didn't really look at
it. Figured it took up too much
space, so I just deleted it."
The service will be sent to all
students with e-mail accounts
approximately every Friday, but
the capacity of the student
accounts is still being judged by
experts at the Computer Center in
Still Hall.
Recently, Clarion University
also added a World Wide Web
site on the Internet.
The "home page" includes
information on university events,
general information about the
university and its departments,
and a on-line registration form
for incoming students to receive
more information about the uni-
versity.
Partnership continued from page 7
land use characteristics, in addi-
tion to examining sedimentation
patterns associated with recent
glacial retreat. Using the proper
equipment, we could determine
changes in sediment/land use and
ice margin location with time."
An example of this study would
be studying the runoff from an
intense rainfall at the Allegheny
Reservoir.
Such a study may help to quan-
tify siltation rates and may be
useful in determining the life of a
reservoir system.
If Clarion is accepted into
NASA Joint Venture, Vega and
Ryberg will spend 10 weeks in
training at NASA's Goddard
Flight Center in Maryland.
They will set their research
agenda and bring the research
back to Clarion.
Clarion will receive $20,000 to
be used to purchase equipment
through the joint venture.
Vega says this money will be
used to help equip a geography
computer laboratory in the Peirce
FSU offers reward for arsonist
Science Center.
The grant will also provide
money for travel, supplies, and
student support.
Vega expects a minimum of
four undergraduate students to be
involved in the research.

13th Annual Women's Conference to be held
Courtesy of
University Relations
"Awakening the Power Within"
is the theme for the 13 th Annual
Women's Conference scheduled
at Clarion University of
Pennsylvania on March 29-30.
This year's conference in the
Gemmell Student Complex has
expanded to include the Women
of Colour conference and work-
shops on March 29.
The conference opens Friday
morning with the Women of
Colour Conference, funded by
Clarion University's Presidential
Commission on Human
Relations and a grant from
Clarion's Faculty Professional
Development Council. Friday
afternoon features three rounds
of general-interest workshops,
free of charge and open to
women and men of all ages.
Friday progresses with a dinner
for Conference registrants fol-
lowed by evening entertainment
open to all.
Poet, storyteller, jazz musician,
and screenwriter Joy Harjo will
present a free reading of her own
work "The Woman Who Fell
from the Sky" on Friday evening
at 8 p.m. in the Gemmell Multi-
Purpose Room. Harjo is an
enrolled member of the
Muscogee Tribe, and is a profes-
sor at the University of New
Mexico. Her appearance at
Clarion is co-sponsored by the
Women's Conference and the
English Department Visiting
Writers Series.
Saturday's keynote speaker, at
9:15 am. in the Gemmell Multi-
purpose Room is Mary Beth
Kennedy. Her topic is
"Empowered." Kennedy has
spent her life serving the under-
privileged, from nearby Erie to
faraway Tanzania, Liberia, Haiti,
and Cuba. Inspired by her mother
and the church of her youth to
serve others, Mary Beth Kennedy
is a missionary, a clergywoman,
an author, a midwife, and an edu-
cator. She speaks Spanish, Ublo
Wi (a Liberian dialect) and Ki-
Swahili. She reads German and
French. She has degrees in psy-
chology and theology, and is cer-
tified to teach the mentally/phys-
ically handicapped. With her hus-
band, Rev. Charles Kennedy, she
founded the Community Country
Day school, Community Shelter
Services, Community of Caring,
and the Respite Center, all ser-
vices for the poor of Erie. The
Kennedy's began, and continue
to support, the yearly collection
of food, clothing, and medical
supplies, and their transport,
along with teams of doctors,
nurses, and social workers, to
developing countries. Citing her
many years of service, Edinboro
University awarded Mrs.
Kennedy an honorary Doctor of
Public Service Degree. Last year,
United Way of America present-
ed her the prestigious Alexis de
Tocqueville Society Award.
Saturday's schedule also
includes workshops and features
new events as well as some
returning favorites. The African-
American Quilters Guild again
display their fanciful works, and
Clarion President Diane L.
Reinhard again invites partici-
pants to her residence for the
closing reception.
The Women's Conference is
sponsored by Clarion
University's Presidential
Commission on the Status of
Women and is co-chaired by
Clarion faculty members Myrna
Kuehn and Joanne Washington.
The committee which includes
faculty, staff, and students of

MMBT: Questioning the answers
by Aaron Davis
Lifestyles Writer
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
are a band from Boston that uses
the usual guitar, drums, bass, but
they also use a horn section.
Having the horn section is a nice
change of pace in heavy music.
Their ska-core is a style that has
since been copied by other bands.
"Question the Answers" is their
1994 release. It is a little slower
than their previous work, but
musically, I think they have
improved.
They begin mis effort with
"Kinder words", a faster paced
song for this release. The song
has all of die elements that are
trademarks of the Bosstones.
Heavy music, excellent horns,
and yelling vocals. It is about
using kinder words, being nicer,
and not using violence and rage
at every opportunity. The second
track is "A Sad Silence." This
slower, more depressing song is
not traditional of the Bosstones,
who are generally a fun band.
The song is about a kid who gets
hooked on crack, and eventually
dies. No one does anything about
the addiction or his death.
The next song, "Hell of a Hat",
picks the pace back up, and dis-
cusses how guns have become
the thing to have. The character
in the song is a GQ type of guy
who always "packs the heat."
They wonder why this is neces-
sary. An excellent song with a lot
of emphasis on the horn section,
"Pictures to Prove It" is once
again a slower paced song. This
song is about a someone whose
love has left, and seemingly for-
gotten about their relationship.
She has moved on. He has
become a chain-smoking, alco-
holic always wishing she would
come look at his pictures to
remember what they once had.
"We Should Talk" is a manic
punk song, with the horns still
intact. It is about our addiction,
as a society, to talk shows. It talks
of all of the people who get up
there and fight for our entertain-
ment. Maybe we should listen to
the Bosstones and turn off the
TV, and pay attention to more
important things. "A Dollar and a
Dream" slows down to a classic
blues tempo in parts, and hard-
core tempo in others.
The next track, "Standoff is a
slower, hardcore song about the
confusion of someone when
someone leaves with no real
explanation. The person could be
a lover or a best friend. "365
Days" is a very fast song with
extreme yelling for vocals. It is
about an alcoholic with nothing
else to look forward to except for
next year. This is one of my
favorite songs on this release.
"Toxic Toast" continues on the
topic of alcohol by talking about
some parties at their old "hell,
hotel, punk rock estate." Not as
heavy or fast as the last song, this
is still one of the best on the CD.
They continue the CD with
"Bronning the Garbage". An "I
don't want to hear it" song, this is
a very funky, upbeat song. It is
impressive to me how they take a
song that is about not wanting to
hear other people's trash and
make it a fun-sounding song.
"Dogs and Chaplarns" is once
again about drinking, and the fun
they have while doing it. It also
mentions that there are conse-
quences to it as well, but they still
have fun. Finally, "Jump
Through the Hoops" is about
something we'll all have to do
eventually - Get a job. Hopefully,
we will all enjoy our jobs more
than the person in this song. The
character has a real difficult time
even getting up for work.
As a rule, the Bosstones are a
fun band that does their best, on
recordings and live, to get their
audience to have fun, too. I final-
ly got to see the Bosstones this
summer at Lollapalooza. They
were definitely a highlight of the
day. They love to play in
Pittsburgh, and play clubs there
often. I recommend anyone to go.
They are fun to dance to, mosh
to, and they love their audience
and want to hang out with them.
"Question the Answers" is slow-
er than their previous recordings,
but is still an excellent CD.

LEAD STORY
•In October, a Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial Court justice
ordered a 30-day suspension for
attorney Donald T. Hachey of
Athol. A female former divorce
client had angered Hachey by
testifying in court that he had
sexually assaulted her 21 -year-
old daughter. Immediately after
being acquitted of that charge,
Hachey returned the client's
divorce files, severely urine-
stained. Hachey said space con-
straints forced him to keep the
files beside the urinal in his office
and that they might have gotten
splattered once or twice, but a bar
association committee, which
had sent the papers to the state
police lab for testing, said the
"linear patterns of the stains"
resulted from a "direct hit."

TIONS
•Five teen-age boys housed at
the Silverdale Workhouse correc-
tional facility in Chattanooga,
Tenn., were charged with
attempted escape in November
after they were discovered by
guards in an attic. However, the
boys said they were not there to
escape, pointing to the loose
floorboards that, when removed,
afforded a clear overhead view of
the showers in the women's wing
of the Workhouse.
•Mark Spotz, denying at his
Clearfield County. Pa., trial in
September that he killed his
brother (the first of four spree
killings with which he was
charged): "He didn't die until he
got to the hospital. In my mind,
killing someone is taking a life
willfully. I didn't do that. I shot
my brother and he died. I didn't
kill him.
•A photo in the third issue of the
new magazine Oneworld had
black bars over the breasts of the
model Julianne while a photo of
the Asian model Zhing topless
appeared without bars.
According to a magazine
spokesperson in December, the
decision was dictated by
Oneworld's printer, who said
Zhing's breasts weren't big
enough to be offensive.
•Montgomery County (Md.)
assistant county attorney Robert
A. Jacques, who admitted in
September to having purchased
sexual favors from a courthouse
prostitute but disputed the price:
"I paid her $60 a visit. I wouldn't
have paid $100 to her for any-
thing. In a contest between lust
and frugality, frugality always
won with me."
•Questioned by local journalists
in October about France's
resumption of South Pacific
nuclear testing, the French
ambassador to New Zealand,
Jacques Le Blanc, said a 110-
kiloton bomb was technically not
a bomb because it was exploded
underground and did not produce
a mushroom cloud. Rather, Le
Blanc said, "It is a device which
is exploding."

answer a year-old charge that he
left the scene of an accident,
acknowledged that he didn't stop
and in fact admitted that he kept
on driving for three miles.
However, he said the only reason
he didn't stop was that the car he
hit began to chase him, and he
was three miles down the road
before he felt safe enough to stop.
•In September, Baltimore
police concluded that Saladin
Ishmael Taylor, 34, had murdered
the woman whose body was
found in a row house with a 1-
inch piece of her attacker's
tongue nearby, apparently having
been bitten off by the victim in
their struggle. Taylor, a tenant in
the house, denied any knowledge
of the murder despite the fact that
a 1-inch portion of his own
tongue was missing. He said he
recently had a tongue-related
accident on the street but had no
idea how the tongue had been
transported inside the house.
•In October, Ray Mitchell III
was suspended from 12th grade
at Bucks County (Pa.) Technical
School after he reported to his
carpentry class with his hair
arranged into 7-inch-long spikes.
According to the school's direc-
tor, Lamar Snyder, the hairstyle
is dangerous to Mitchell's class-
mates: "If a student ... saw
Mitchell walk into the room, they
would say, 'Oh, my God,' look
up from the tools, and possibly
hurt themselves.
•At his December trial for
shooting at the husband of a West
Brookfield, Mass., tax collector,
Roderick 'Rhoda" Williams, 63,
a heavyset, transvestite man, was
accused of sending the woman a
threatening letter after his
requests for tax abatement were
denied. He had first requested

•A study published in a 1995
issue of the Journal of Urology
estimated that 600,000 men in
the United States are impotent
from injuries to their crotches,
about 40 percent of them from
too-vigorous bicycling. And in
Jury, the Food and Drug adminis-
tration approved the first pre-
scription drug to treat impotence,
Caverject, which is injected
directly into the penis before
intercourse. An FDA warning
issued with the approval advised
patients to contact their doctors
immediately if the erection had
not subsided within six hours.
•The London Independent
reported in October that a Sony
Corp. division, Extra-Sensory
Perception Excitation Research,
claims it has proved the existence
of ESP and has developed a
working diagnostic machine
based on use of the Oriental spir-
itual energy "ki" to identify
health problems by measuring
the pulse. So far, 400 leading
businessmen and politicians in
Japan have been hooked up to the
machine, and Sony claims a 20
percent to 30 percent success rate
in diagnosing serious diseases
such as liver cancer.

sonality Carla Foxx was ordered
to stand trial for a November hit-
and-run death. At a probable

testified that he found parts of
two human fingers in the grill of

Mush they said by Dave Barry
This is the second part of a two-
part series tided "Recreational
Winter Sports That You Can Do
Sitting Down!" Last week, in
part one, I discussed snowmobil-
ing, with my key finding being
that you should not go snowmo-
biling with adolescent boys
unless your recreational goal is
total cardiac arrest. Today I'll
discuss a sport that is more relax-
ing, as well as far more fragrant:
dog-sled-riding.
A dog sled is — follow me care-
fully here — a sled that is pulled
by dogs. And if you think that
dogs are not strong enough to
pull a sled, then you have never
been walking a dog on a leash
when a squirrel ran past. Even a
small dog in this situation will
generate one of the most power-
ful forces known to modern sci-
ence. In some squirrel-infested
areas, it is not at all unusual to
see a frantically barking dog rac-
ing down the street, wearing a
leash that is attached to a bounc-
ing, detached arm.
Historians believe that the dog
sled was invented thousands of
years ago when an Alaskan
Eskimo attached a pair of crude
runners to a frame, hitched this
contrivance to a pack of dogs,
climbed aboard, and wound up in
Brazil. This taught the remaining
Eskimos that if they were going
to build another of these things, it
should definitely have brakes.
Today, dog sleds are mainly used
in races, the most famous one
being the Alaskan Iditarod, in
which competitors race from

1 took a far more modest dog-
sled ride, up and down a smallish
mountain near Hailey, Idaho, on
a sled operated by Sun Valley
Sled Dog Adventures. This is a
small company started by a very
nice young guy named Brian
Camilli, who plans to win the
Iditarod some day, and who
bought his first sled dogs five
years ago with what was going to
be his college tuition ("My par-
ents still aren't sure how they feel
about it, " he says). He now
owns 27 dogs, which as you can
imagine makes it somewhat
tricky for him to obtain rental
housing.
I was part of a two-sled party,
which required 18 dogs. A high-
light of this experience — in fact,
a highlight of my entire life —
was watching Brian and his part-
ner, Jeremy Gebauer, bring the
dogs, one at a time, out of the
truck. Because, of course, every
single dog, immediately upon
emerging, had to make weewee,
and then every dog naturally had
to sniff every other dog's wee-
wee, which could cause the fol-
lowing thought to register in their
primitive dog brains: "Hey! This
is WEEWEE!' ' And so naturally
this would cause every one of
them to have to make MORE
weewee, which every other one
would, of course, have to sniff,
the result being that we soon
were witnessing what nuclear
physicists call a Runaway Chain
Weewee Reaction.
Eventually, Brian and Jeremy
got all the dogs into their har-
nesses, at which point they began
to suspect that they might be
about to run somewhere, which
caused them to start barking at
the rate of 260 barks per minute
per dog. I would estimate that at
that moment our little group was
responsible for two-thirds of the
noise, and a solid three-quarters
of the weewee, being produced in
the western United States.
These dogs were RARIN' to go.
We passengers climbed into the
sleds, and Brian and Jeremy
stood on the runners behind. The
sleds were tied firmly to the front
bumper of the truck, but the dogs
were pulling so hard that I swear
I felt the truck move; I had this
vision of us disappearing over the
top of the mountain — dogs, fol-
lowed by sleds, followed by
truck, all headed for the Arctic
Circle, never to be heard from

Quickly, Brian and Jeremy
untied the sleds and
WHOOOAAAA we were off,
whipping up the trail at a very
brisk pace, the dogs insanely
happy, Brian and Jeremy shout-
ing traditional dog-team com-
mands (my favorite traditional
command, shouted by Brian,
was: "BE NICE!!"
"HEY! THIS
IS WEE-
WEE!"
These guys know their dogs;
they watch them carefully and
talk to them individually. Every
dog runs a little differently, has a
different personality. For exam-
ple, on my sled's team, Sprocket
was a good, hard worker, a steady
puller with a real nice gait; Brian
hardly had to tell him anything,
but he had to keep talking to
Suzy, who was definitely not
pulling her share of the load. She
was more waddling than trotting.
Brian would shout, "SUZY! "
and she'd start trotting for a
while, but as soon as she thought
he wasn't looking she'd go back
to waddling. You could just tell
that if Suzy worked for a large
corporation, she's spend most of
her day makin*! personal phone
calls.
But most of their dogs were off
to the races. In fact, the hard part
is getting them to stop. Brian
told us one of the cardinal rules
of this sport is that you never,
ever get off and walk behind the
sled.
"They'll leave you behind," he
said.
We trotted briskly up to the top
of the mountain, then Jeremy and
Brian turned the sleds around in a
maneuver that had all the smooth
precision of a prison riot as the
two teams of dogs suddenly
decided this would be a good
time for all 18 of them to sniff
each other's private regions. But
they got straightened out, and we
roared back down the hill; even
Suzy was in overdrive. The sun
was shining, the valley was
spread out below us, the wind
(not to mention the occasional
whiff of dog poo) was whipping
past our faces. It was a wonder-
ful moment, and I felt as though I
never wanted to get off the sled,
even if there had been some way
to stop it. I'll write when we
reach Brazil.

LEAD STORY
•In October, a Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial Court justice
ordered a 30-day suspension lor
attorney Donald T. llachey of
Athol. A female former divorce
client had angered llachey by
testifying in court dial he had
sexually assaulted her 21 -year-
old daughter. Immediately alter
being acquitted of that charge,
llachey returned the client's
divorce files, severely urine-
stained, llachey said space con-
straints forced him to keep the
files beside the urinal in his office
and that they might have gotten
splattered once or twice, but a bar
association committee, which
had sent the papers to the state
police lab for testing, said the
"linear patterns of the stains"
resulted from a "direct hit."
COMPELLING EXPLANA-
TIONS
•Five teen-age boys housed at
the Silverdale Workhouse correc-
tional facility in Chattanooga,
Tenn., were charged with
attempted escape in November
after they were discovered by
guards in an attic. However, the
boys said they were not there to
escape, pointing to the loose
floorboards that, when removed,
afforded a clear overhead view of
the showers in the women's wing
of the Workhouse.
•Mark Spotz, denying at his
Clearfield County. Pa., trial in
September that he killed his
brother (the first of four spree
killings with which he was
charged): "He didn't die until he
got to the hospital. In my mind,
killing someone is taking a life
willfully. 1 didn't do that. I shot
my brother and he died. I didn't
kill him.
•A photo in the diird issue of the
new magazine One world had
black bars over the breasts of the
model Julianne while a photo of
the Asian model Zhing topless
appeared without bars.
According to a magazine
spokesperson in December, the
decision was dictated by
Oneworld's printer, who said
Zhing's breasts weren't big
enough to be offensive.
•Montgomery County (Md.)
assistant county attorney Robert
A. Jacques, who admitted in
September to having purchased
sexual favors from a courthouse
prostitute but disputed the price:
"I paid her $60 a visit. I wouldn't
have paid $100 to her for any-
thing. In a contest between lust
and frugality, frugality always
won with me."
•Questioned by local journalists
in October about France's
resumption of South Pacific
nuclear testing, the French
ambassador to New Zealand,
Jacques Le Blanc, said a 110-
kiloton bomb was technically not
a bomb because it was exploded
underground and did not produce
a mushroom cloud. Rather. Le
Blanc said, "It is a device which
is exploding."

answer a year-old charge that he
left the scene of an accident,
acknowledged that he didn't stop
and in fact admitted that he kept
on driving for three miles.
However, he said the only reason
he didn't stop was that the car he
hit began to chase him, and he
was three miles down the road
before he felt safe enough to stop.
•In September, Baltimore
police concluded that Saladin
Ishmael Taylor, 34, had murdered
the woman whose body was
found in a row house with a 1-
inch piece of her attacker's
tongue nearby, apparently having
been bitten off by the victim in
their struggle. Taylor, a tenant in
die house, denied any knowledge
of the murder despite the fact that
a 1-inch portion of his own
tongue was missing. He said he
recently had a tongue-related
accident on the street but had no
idea how the tongue had been
transported inside the house.
•In October, Ray Mitchell III
was suspended from 12th grade
at Bucks County (Pa.) Technical
School after he reported to his
carpentry class with his hair
arranged into 7-inch-long spikes.
According to the school's direc-
tor, Lamar Snyder, the hairstyle
is dangerous to Mitchell's class-
mates: "If a student ... saw
Mitchell walk into the room, they
would say, 'Oh, my God,' look
up from the tools, and possibly
hurt themselves.
•At his December trial for
shooting at the husband of a West
Brookfield, Mass., tax collector,
Roderick "Rhoda" Williams, 63,
a heavyset, transvestite man, was
accused of sending the woman a
threatening letter after his
requests for tax abatement were
denied. He had first requested

•A study published in a 1995
issue of the Journal of Urology
estimated Uiat 600,000 men in
the United States are impotent
from injuries to their crotches,
about 40 percent of them from
too-vigorous bicycling. And in
July, the Food and Drug adminis-
tration approved the first pre-
scription drug to treat impotence,
Caverject, which is injected
directly into the penis before
intercourse. An FDA warning
issued with the approval advised
patients to contact their doctors
immediately if the erection had
not subsided within six hours.
•The London Independent
reported in October that a Sony
Corp. division, Extra-Sensory
Perception Excitation Research,
claims it has proved the existence
of ESP and has developed a
working diagnostic machine
based on use of the Oriental spir-
itual energy "ki" to identify
health problems by measuring
the pulse. So far, 400 leading
businessmen and politicians in
Japan have been hooked up to the
machine, and Sony claims a 20
percent to 30 percent success rate
in diagnosing serious diseases
such as liver cancer.
•In January, Phoenix radio per-
sonality Carla Foxx was ordered
to stand trial for a November hit-
and-run death. At a probable
cause hearing, an investigator
testified that he found parts of
two human fingers in the grill of
Foxx's car.

Mush they said by Dave Barry
This is the second part of a two-
part series titled "Recreational
Winter Sports That You Can Do
Sitting Down!" Last week, in
part one, I discussed snowmobil-
mg, with my key finding being
that you should not go snowmo-
biling with adolescent boys
unless your recreational goal is
total cardiac arrest. Today I'll
discuss a sport that is more relax-
ing, as well as far more fragrant:
dog-sled-riding.
A dog sled is — follow me care-
fully here — a sled that is pulled
by dogs. And if you think that
dogs are not strong enough to
pull a sled, then you have never
been walking a dog on a leash
when a squirrel ran past. Even a
small dog in this situation will
generate one of the most power-
ful forces known to modern sci-
ence. In some squirrel-infested
areas, it is not at all unusual to
see a frantically barking dog rac-
ing down the street, wearing a
leash that is attached to a bounc-
ing, detached arm.
Historians believe that the dog
sled was invented thousands of
years ago when an Alaskan
Eskimo attached a pair of crude
runners to a frame, hitched this
contrivance to a pack of dogs,
climbed aboard, and wound up in
Brazil. This taught the remaining
Eskimos that if they were going
to build another of these things, it
should definitely have brakes.
Today, dog sleds are mainly used
in races, the most famous one
being the Alaskan Iditarod, in
which competitors race from

Anchorage to Nome, with the
winner getting a cash prize of
$50,000, which just about covers
the winner's Chapstick expenses.
I took a far more modest dog-
sled ride, up and down a smallish
mountain near Hailey, Idaho, on
a sled operated by Sun Valley
Sled Dog Adventures. This is a
small company started by a very
nice young guy named Brian
Camilli, who plans to win the
Iditarod some day, and who
bought his first sled dogs five
years ago with what was going to
be his college tuition ("My par-
ents still aren't sure how they feel
about it, " he says). He now
owns 27 dogs, which as you can
imagine makes it somewhat
tricky for him to obtain rental
housing.
I was part of a two-sled party,
which required 18 dogs. A high-
light of this experience — in fact,
a highlight of my entire life —
was watching Brian and his part-
ner, Jeremy Gebauer, bring the
dogs, one at a time, out of the
truck. Because, of course, every
single dog, immediately upon
emerging, had to make weewee,
and then every dog naturally had
to sniff every other dog's wee-
wee, which could cause the fol-
lowing thought to register in their
primitive dog brains; "Hey! This
is WEEWEE! 1 ' And so naturally
this would cause every one of
them to have to make MORE
weewee, which every other one
would, of course, have to sniff,
the result being that we soon
were witnessing what nuclear
physicists call a Runaway Chain
Weewee Reaction.
Eventually, Brian and Jeremy
got all the dogs into their har-
nesses, at which point they began
to suspect that they might be
about to run somewhere, which
caused them to start barking at
the rate of 260 barks per minute
per dog. I would estimate that at
that moment our little group was
responsible for two-thirds of the
noise, and a solid three-quarters
of the weewee, being produced in
the western United States.
These dogs were RARIN' to go.
We passengers climbed into the
sleds, and Brian and Jeremy
stood on the runners behind. The
sleds were tied firmly to the front
bumper of the truck, but the dogs
were pulling so hard that I swear
I felt the truck move; I had this
vision of us disappearing over the
top of the mountain — dogs, fol-
lowed by sleds, followed by
truck, all headed for the Arctic
Circle, never to be heard from

again.
Quickly. Brian and Jeremy
untied the sleds and
WHOOOAAAA we were off,
whipping up die trail at a very
brisk pace, the dogs insanely
happy, Brian and Jeremy shout-
ing traditional dog-team com-
mands (my favorite traditional
command, shouted by Brian,
was: "BE NICE!!"
"HEY! THIS
IS WEE-
WEE!
These guys know their dogs;
they watch them carefully and
talk to them individually. Every
dog runs a little differently, has a
different personality. For exam-
ple, on my sled's team, Sprocket
was a good, hard worker, a steady
puller with a real nice gait; Brian
hardly had to tell him anything,
but he had to keep talking to
Suzy, who was definitely not
pulling her share of the load. She
was more waddling than trotting.
Brian would shout, "SUZY! "
and she'd start trotting for a
while, but as soon as she thought
he wasn't looking she'd go back
to waddling. You could just tell
that it Suzy worked for a large
corporation, she's spend most of
her day making personal phone
calls.
But most of their dogs were oil
to the races In tact, the hard pari
is getting them to stop. Brian
told us one of the cardinal rules
of this sport is that you never,
ever get oil and walk behind the
sled.
"They'll leave you behind," he
said.
We trotted briskly up to the top
of the mountain, then Jeremy and
Brian turned the sleds around in a
maneuver diat had all the smooth
precision of a prison riot as the
two teams of dogs suddenly
decided this would be a good
time for all 18 of them to sniff
each other's private regions. But
they got straightened out, and we
roared back down the hill; even
Suzy was in overdrive. The sun
was shining, the valley was
spread out below us, the wind
(not to mention the occasional
whiff of dog poo) was whipping
past our faces. It was a wonder-
ful moment, and I felt as though I
never wanted to get off the sled,
even if there had been some way
to stop it. I'll write when we
reach Brazil.

LOSE 20 POUNDS
IN TWO WEEKS
Famous U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet
During the non-snow off season the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team
members used the "Ski Team" diet to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. That's
right - 20 pounds in 14 days! The basis of the diet is chemical food
action and was devised by a famous Colorado physician especially for
the U.S. Ski Team. Normal energy is maintained (very important!) while
reducing. You keep "full" - no starvation - because the diet is designed
that way It's a diet that is easy to follow whether you work, travel or stay
at home.
This is, honestly, a fantastically successful diet. If it weren't, the U.S.
Women's Alpine Ski Team wouldn't be permitted to use it! Right? So,
give yourself the same break the U.S. Ski Team gets. Lose weight the
scientific, proven way. Even if you've tried all the other dieU you owe it to
yourself to try the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet. That is, if you
really do want to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. Order today! Tear this out
as a reminder.
Send only $8.95 ($9.60 in Calif.)-add .50 cents RUSH service to:
American Institute, 7343 El Camjno Real, Suite 206, Atascadero, CA
9342?. Don't order unless vou expect to lose 20 pounds in two weeks!

The formal rush period at
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania ended with
approximately 40 girls happi-
ly rushing a sorority.
Eight of the ten Panhellenic
sororities participated this
year and many of them
reached the quota set by the
office of 5 girls per sorority.
During the rush period, the
women participating are
offered counseling by
women who already belong
to a Greek organization.
This year the program was
conducted under the theme,
"Great Women Go Greek."
Participating sororities
were required to throw three
parties during this period.
Since the Panhellenic
Council is dedicated to the
principle of no frills rush, the
sororities were asked to
abide by this during the par
ties.
The first party is called
"Meet the Greeks", the sec
ond is a casual party, the
third is a theme party, during
which many sororities put on
skits and sing made up
songs the the women rush-
ing.
The final party is a prefer-
ence party. It is after this
party that the young women
make a choice as to which
sorority they wish to belong
to.

SPORTS
Edinboro defeated: Pitt tied
Golden Eagles gear up for Lock Haven
By Tim Rafalski
Sports Writer
One of the bittersweet things
about wrestling is that a match
can end up a tie. There's joy over
the fact that a notch won't go in
the loss column, yet there's a
painful regret thinking about all
the places you could have come
up with one more point and the
victory.
The Golden Eagle wrestlers felt
both these emotions last Sunday
when they came away from the
Pitt gymnasium with an 18-18 tie
in the score book.
Just three days earlier Clarion
bagged six wins, included two
major decisions and a pin, en
route to a 23-13 victory over the
visiting Fighting Scots of
Edinboro. The match opened
with what was probably the most
anticipated match of the evening
between Clarion's Sheldon
Thomas #2 and Edinboro's Jeff.
Cervone #7.
Thomas just didn't have it and
Cervone was able to come away
with an easy 6-2 upset victory.
Edinboro quickly took a 6-0 lead
as Bill Lawrence decisioned
Jamey Azzato 8-4 at 126 pounds.
Chris Marshall, the #10 ranked
wrestler at 134 pounds got
Clarion on the board with a major
decision over Edinboro's Troy
Spencer 12-2. The match score
now stood at 64. At 142 pounds,
Steve Feckanin controlled
Clarion's Stan Spoor throughout
the match and cruised to a 9-1
victory upping the Fighting Scot
lead to 104.
T.J. Carbaugh took to the mats
at 150 and no scoring took place
until the second period when
Edinboro's Mark Samples got an
escape and a takedown.
Carbaugh fell to Samples 8-1 and
The Edinboro lead now grew to
134.
Next up for Clarion was #10
ranked Ken Porter who battled
Kevin Welsh at 158 pounds. The
match started out slowly but
Porter controlled and scored a 6-
victory. This narrowed the
Edinboro lead to 13-7.
The 167 pound pitted Clarion's
Paul Antonio against Edinboro's
Marty Stoddard. Once again, the
match started out slowly, but in
the third Antonio took over and
Antonio decisioned Stoddard 9-
3. This cut the Fighting Scot lead
to 13-10.
Juggy Franklin dominated A.J.
Johnson at 177 pounds and
cruised to a 14-6 major decision,
but more importantly the
Franklin win put Clarion in the
lead for the first time at 14-13.
Bryan Stout, Clarion's #2 ranked
190 pounder wasted no time and
The Golden Eagles record overall is 3-4-2 overall, and 2-0-2 in
pounds, Sheldon Thomas pinned
pinned Matt Kim at 2:30 into the
bout to increase the Golden Eagle
lead to 20-13.
The most exciting match of the
evening was at heavyweight.
The match ended with Jarina
ahead 7-6, but Edinboro's Pat
Schuster scored a point for riding
time to send the match to over-
time. Jarina continued to work
away and scored a takedown :26
seconds into overtime. The final
match score stood at 23-13.
Clarion then battled Pitt as the
#22 ranked Golden Eagles trav-
eled to Pittsburgh to take on the
#21 ranked Panthers. At 118
Jeff Levkulich/Clarion Call
The Golden Eagles do battle with the #8 ranked Lock Haven Bald Eagles this Sunday.
Chris Stevens quickly and
Clarion jumped off to a 6-0 lead.
At 126 pounds, Pitt sent Mike
Ziska to the mat looking for an
upset over Golden Eagle #8
ranked Bob Crawford. Ziska
took Crawford down three times
in the first and Crawford never
recovered and Ziska scored die
major upset and brought Pitt back
into the match down only 6-3.
The 1 34 pound match looked to
be a battle and indeed it was as
Pitt's John Richey led 1-0 over
Chris Marshall after two.
Marshall chose the down posi-
tion, escaped, and scored a take-
down to seal up a 3-1 victory.
This increased the Golden Eagle
lead to 9-3.
At 142 pounds, #5 ranked J.J.
Faschnacht decisioned Clarion's
Stan Spoor 9-5, bringing Pitt
back to within three trailing only
9-6. T.J. Carbaugh was pinned at
150 pounds and the Panthers now
held their first lead 12-9.
Ken Porter decisioned Pitt's
Brett Gould 3-1 at 158 pounds to
tie the match 12-12. Pitt sent Joel
Giroski to the mat to meet Paul
Antonio at 167 pounds. The
match was even through the first
period with Anlonio holding a 3-
2 lead. Antonio dominated the
rest of the match scoring a near-
fall and reversal to win the match
8-4. Clarion now pulled ahead
15-12.
Pitt's Bryan Matusic controlled
the Golden Eagles Juggy
Franklin most of the match and
Jeff Levkulich/Clarion Call
EWL competition.
was able to defeat Franklin 6-2,
and more importantly tie the
match at 15-15. The 190 pound
match was a classic as Pitt's
Mark Bodo led 2-1 going into the
third, but Bryan Stout used an
escape and stalling point to win
the bout 3-2. Stout put Clarion
back ahead 18-15.
The heavyweight match saw
only one point scored as Pat
Wiltanger of Pitt escaped from
Darren Jarina in the second to
score the 1-0 decision and bring
the match to a close tied 18-18.
The Golden Eagles have a huge
task on their hands this Sunday as
#8 ranked Lock Haven travels
into the Tippin Gymnasium.
"With our injuries, though.
Lock Haven will have a definite
advantage with their depth. Alter
all. that's why they're ranked 8th
and were ranked 22nd," said
Clarion head coach Jack Davis.
•We're excited to be wrestling a
top ten team, and even though
we'll have to wrestle a perfect
meet to win, that's exactly what
we're going to try and do this
Sunday."
Lock Haven coach Carl Poll
was equally as excited as Davis
saying. "It's going to be a great
dual meet for wrestling fans."
Lock Haven has three ranked
wrestlers. Cary Kolat is ranked
#2 at 134 pounds, Mike Rogers
#7 at 150 pounds, and Mike
Guerin #5 at 177 pounds.
Match time is set for 3:00 p.m
^nd a large crowd is encouraged.

Golden Eagle men chase playoffs
By Jason Dambach
Sports Writer
To say that the Clarion Golden
Eagles men's basketball team has
had an up and down season
would certainly be an understate-
ment. After an 11-5 start and an
almost certain trip to the playoffs,
the Golden Eagles have lost five
consecutive games, including
losses to PSAC West opponents
Edinboro and Lock Haven last
week.
With their two most recent con-
ference losses, the Golden Eagles
find themselves two games out of
the fourth and final playoff spot
with just three PSAC West games
remaining.
In action from last Wednesday,
the Golden Eagles cut a 22-point
second half deficit down to as lit-
tle as two points before falling to
Edinboro 103-95 at Tippin
Gymnasium.
Clarion could not contain
Edinboro's Tyrone Mason, who
hit for a career-high 44 points
along with 4 rebounds and 17 of
18 from the foul line, Mason's
performance earned him PSAC
West Player of the Week for last
week.
Jamie Polak's layup at the
12:52 mark of the first half gave
the Golden Eagles an 18-17 lead.
Edinboro went on a 21-5 run over
the next six minutes to blow the
game open.
After trailing 52-35 at halftime.
and by 22 points early in the sec-
■-W 1
ond half, the Golden Eagles were
able to use the conference's sec-
ond best three-point shooting
attack to cut the lead to two
points with 2:34 remaining.
However, the Scots answered
with eight straight points to put
the finishing touches on their sec-
ond victory over Clarion this sea-
son
Oronn Brown scored 25 points
to lead the Golden Eagles. Gregg
Frist added 24 points (19 in the
second half), and Jamie Polak
had 19 in the losing cause.
Saturday, the Golden Eagles
traveled to Lock Haven and fell
to the Bald Eagles 84-64. The
loss was the fifth straight for
Clarion(ll-10, 3-6), which now
finds itself two games out of a
playoff spot.
The difference in the game was
rebounding. Lock Haven doubled
up the Golden Eagles 44-22 in
that department, including outre-
bounding Clarion 17-6 on the
offensive end.
Lock Haven took control of the
game midway through the first
half after a McKinney three-
pointer gave the Bald Eagles a
21-17 lead. That sparked a 27-9
run that put Clarion behind 45-26
at haftime.
The Golden Eagles got only as
close as 14 points after an Oronn
Brown three-pointer at the 17:25
mark of the second half. Clarion
also went on a brief 13-4 run
midway thru the half, but Lock
Haven's Mike Shue hit a pair of
free throws on consecutive trips
to the foul line to end any hopes
of a Clarion comeback.
Shue scored 20 of his 27 points
in the second half to lead Lock
Haven(12-8, 5-3). Daley added
18 points and a team-high 7
assists.
Clarion was led by Gregg Frist,
who scored 18 points in the los-
ing effort. Oronn Brown added
12 points, and is now just 44
points away from the illustrious
1,000 point mark.
Clarion had been hoping to end
their five game slide on Monday
against PSAC Eastern Division
leading Bloomsburg, but the
game was postponed after the
referees were unable to make the
trip to Clarion. The game likely
will not be rescheduled.
Lady hoopers fall to Lock Haven, face IUP
By Chris Pfeil

Two weeks ago, it seemed as if
it was time to look ahead to next
year for the Clarion Golden
Eagles women's basketball team.
They were 7-11 (0-5, in PSAC-
West), which was unfamiliar ter-
ritory for a team that has won the
PS AC- West and appeared in the
NCAA Division II tournament
the last five seasons.
But, just when Coach Gie
Parson's team looked as if they
were ready to pack it in, the sea-
son took a major twist.
The Golden Eagles began their
resurgence with upset wins over
California and Shippensburg.
Then, last Wednesday night, the
Lady Eagles knocked off
f^iEdinboro, 99-84, in Tippin Gym.
^■JClarion was led by Mona
J[%"Gaffney's career-high 38 points,
{as they boosted their record to
ri'10-11 (3-5).

On Saturday afternoon, Clarion
took their hot streak on the road.
They lost a pivotal PSAC-West
game to Lock Haven, 76-65.
Rachael Steinbugl led Clarion
with 17 points in a game that saw
14 lead changes and 13 ties.
Lock Haven used a 16-2 run with
8:00 minutes to go to put the
Golden Eagles away.
Mona Gaffney scored 12 points
in the Lock Haven game to move
herself into second place all-time
in school history with 1,813
points.
Gaffney also picked up PSAC-
West player of the Week honors
for a second consecutive week.
Clarion looked to rebound
Monday night, when PSAC-East
powerhouse Bloomsburg visited
Tippen Gym.
Despite being down 39-30 at
the half, Clarion came back using
an inside-out combination. The
Golden Eagles hit 7 of 14 three-
pointers in the second half, while

Mona Gaffney controlled the
inside. Clarion took their first
lead of the game on a Erin
Collavo triple with 14:25 left in
the second half.
The two teams battled back and
forth until Tina Skelley hit two
free-throws with 8:55 left, to put
the Golden Eagles on top 61-60.
Mona Gaffney scored 34 points
and had 11 rebounds, as Clarion
cruised to an 84-74 win.
Rachael Steinbugl was 4 of 9
from beyond the three-point arc,
as she added 12 points.
Clarion improved to 11-12 (3-
6, in PSAC-West). The Golden
Eagles are still mathematically
alive for a play-off birth, but will
need to win their final three
PSAC-West games, and get some
help.
The Lady Eagles began their
play-off guest last night at home
against Slippery Rock. They also
take on IUP Saturday night at
6:00 in Tippin Gym.

Laying it on the line
By Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
As promised. Laying it on the
line returns after a one week
vaeation. Aetually spaee con-
straints took priority.
•First off, if any of you are
looking for Steve "Wag"
Wagner's weekly column The
Penalty Box, you won't find it
this week as Mr. Wagner himself
is in the penalty box for reasons
beyond the realm of thought.
•Enough then, let's get this lay-
ing it on the line thing rolling
right now and what better to talk
about than my beloved Pittsburgh
Steelers.
•Neil O'Donnell was offered a
three-year $10 million dollar
contract yesterday, and it was
reported that O'Donnell was
excited about the offer and told
his agent to do whatever it takes
to remain in Pittsburgh.
Do whatever it takes, come on
Neil. Sign it or don't sign it.
Don't leave the fans as well or
the Steelers hanging any longer.
This offer is more than fair and
O'Donnell should be thrilled that
this team was willing to offer him
such a big contract after his per-
formance in the Super Bowl.
But in order to lay it on the line,
I hope he signs the contract. But,
if he doesn't, then good riddance.
The Steelers have been more
than fair and O'Donnell owes it
to his teammates more than to
himself.
•I can't believe that the Pirates
are finally owned by Kevin
McClatchy. This man was
dragged through the mud, rumors
were started, and the old owner-
ship of the Pirates were com-
pletely un-cooperative.
Vincent Sarni and the rest of the
old regime should be ashamed of
the way they treated McClatchy,
and I'm personally glad that Mr.
Sarni doesn't have anything else
to say.
McClatchy deserves a legiti-
mate chance to make baseball
work in Pittsburgh and the people
of Pittsburgh and surrounding
areas should make an effort to
attend at least a couple of games
this year. McClatchy is the
youngest owner ever and it
would be a shame if the people of
Pittsburgh did not respond well
to what he is trying to do, which
is revitalize and keep baseball in
Pittsburgh where it belongs.
So get off your couches, grab
twenty out of the MAC machine
and take someone to see a ball-
game. Tickets are very afford-
able and I guarantee you these
new look Pirates will give you
everything they got in order to
make your trip a successful one,
•The next issue is that the
Pirates want a new stadium.
Well, I guess that I can go along
with that, but the Steelers?
I know Mr. Rooney has every
right to ask for improvements to
the stadium, but as of late there
has actually been talk of the
Steelers wanting a new stadium.
Get real. Why not build the
Penguins a new building. How
about Pitt? They need a new
facility too.
What if the USFL ever returns
to Pittsburgh? I'm sure the
Maulers would feel slighted if
they didn't have a new stadium
too.
This stadium talk is exhausting.
The money could be spent better
elsewhere, and the only team
mentioned that deserves a new
facility are the Pitt Panthers.
They are trying to become com-
petitive as they once were in the
Big East, but every time they
have a big game to play they
have to leave their home and
travel to the sometimes unfriend-
ly confines of the Civic Arena.
Yes, the Pirates need a new sta-
dium too, but there is a lot of
money being spent around the
country on new facilities, and
when it comes down to it, what
are you supposed to do with all
the unwanted stadiums and are-
nas.
•Finally, I'm sick and tired of
hearing about Magic Johnson.
Leave this man alone. If he
wants to play basketball, let him.
You have a better chance of the
ceiling caving in, than you do of
actually catching the HIV virus
from Magic.

The Clarion Call
Student is symptom free and back in class
Student treated and released for meningitis-like symptoms
by Tom Evans
News Writer
The Keeling Health Center on
the Clarion University campus
recently confirmed that a student
was treated and released at
Clarion Hospital for symptoms
similar to meningococcal
meningitis.
The student appears to be
symptom-free and is back in
classes. The early treatment of
the symptoms prevented doctors
to completely diagnose the
student with bacterial meningitis
even though the symptoms were
guite similar to the symptoms
of bacterial meningitis.
Randy Rice, director of
Keeling Health Center, explained
that meningitis whether viral or
bacterial is a reportable disease.
Health care providers are
bound by civil and criminal law
to report all cases to the State
Health Department.
So far in the past ten days, no
cases have been reported to the
Clarion State Health
Department.
Rice stressed that there are no
reported cases of spinal
meningitis here at Clarion
University.
He explained that college
students are always at risk for
meningitis because most college
students are in the 15-30 year old
age group.
People who are between the
ages of 15 and 30 are more
susceptible to meningococcal
meningitis.
Rice stated that Clarion
students are not at any higher
risk now than they are when they
returned to campus after
Christmas break.
The nearest reported cases of
meningitis were near Pittsburgh.
Rice stresses that the students
know that the recent case was
not a confirmed case of
meningitis. Bacterial meningitis
was NOT diagnosed. The
Jeff Levkulich/Clarion Call
Mr. Randy Rice, director of
Keeling Health Center.
The recent episode with the
meningitis-like symptoms was a
learning process for the Health
Center said Randy Rice. He
feels that the health center is
better prepared if any cases
should arise.
Rice is planning on starting up
a program for teaching about
meningitis to the students at
Clarion.
He hopes that the program will
be twice a year and beneficial to
students who are interested in
learning more about meningitis.
Meningitis is guite dangerous
because it is rare and can be
mistaken for other illnesses.
A person might think they only
have symptoms suggestive of the
flu or a minor cold lor a few
days.
Those symptoms can possibly
develop rapidly into meningitis
if they are ignored.
Characteristic signs of
meningitis include fever, severe
sudden headaches accompanied
with mental changes, and
stiffness of the neck.
A rash on the arms and legs
may also develop.
With early diagnosis and
treatment, the chances of full
recovery are high.
Treatment can include a spinal
tap, and antimicrobial therapy.
Approximately ten percent of
the general population carry the
meningitis bacteria in the throat
and nose in a harmless state.
Throughout the United States
the annual incidence of
Meningococcal disease is about
one case per 100,000 people.
Clarion University students
should not be alarmed, or
worried about meningitis since
they are not at any higher risk.
Any student can get more
information of meningitis by
contacting the Keeling Health
Center at 226-2121.
Minority report included
Lawless Committee submits report to Pa House
by Matt Geesey
News Editor
Controversy has surrounded
institutions of higher education
last year in the state of
Pennsylvania.
A House of Representatives
Select Committee on Higher
Education was formed to
conduct public hearings and to
examine several higher
education issues. These
particular issues are faculty
activities which include teaching
loads, research, and public
service; tuition and fee discounts
for faculty, employees, and their
dependents; honoraria for
faculty, administrative, and other
employees; compensation
policies for representatives of
employee organizations;
employee sabbaticals, and
professional staff travel
expenses.
The committee has examined
the policies and practices of
Pennsylvania's state-owned,
state-related, and state-aided
four-year institutions that relate
to these issues. The committee
recenUy released their report and
passed it on to the House with
their recommendations. The
House will review the report and
will either approve the
recommendations or disapprove
them.
The chairman of the
committee is Representative
John Lawless, a Republican from
Montgomery County. The other
members of the group are Rep.
Ronald Raymond, Rep. Elaine
Farmer, Rep. Jeffrey Coy, and
Rep. Ruth Rudy.
Several public hearings were
held this past summer about
these higher education issues
that included representatives
from the State System of Higher
Education (SSHE); state-related
institutions which include the
University of Pittsburgh, Penn
State University, Lincoln
University, and Temple
University; the University of
Pennsylvania, and the American
Association of University
Professors (AAUP).
Pennsylvania Division. Other
groups were included as
witnesses for the issues that
direcUy pertained to them. At the
recommendations hearing the
University of Pennsylvania and
SSHE chose not to participate in
an official category and no
representation from these two
groups was present.
The first higher education issue
that was examined was on
sabbatical leaves of absence
policies and practices. According
to the report, sabbaticals are
defined as "leaves of absences
during which the faculty member
receives pay. typically involve a
leave of either 18 weeks or 36
weeks, and are intended for
research, retraining and study for
curricular or academic
improvement."
SSHE has a sabbatical policy
which is both statutory and
collectively bargained with its
faculty union, the Association of
Pennsylvania State College and
University Faculties
( APSCUF) . S tate - related research
institutions and private colleges
and universities typically
develop policy themselves with
close faculty input. "Sabbatical
leave" at the college level is
different then the use of the term
sabbatical at the basic education
level. At a basic level, it usually
means a leave for a restoration of
health, travel purposes, or for
further study. At the higher
education level, sabbaticals are
usually allowed for the purposes
of research and retraining.
Sometimes an exception for
illness can be made if
accumulated sick time has been
used.
The committee has
recommended that sabbaticals be
limited only to professional
development and restoration of
health. It also recommends that
sabbaticals be given to
individuals who have presented
proposals of merit and not on the
basis of seniority.
The committee would also like
to see each institution adopt a
policy that requires repayment
of salary for a sabbatical if the
recipient leaves the institution
within three years of taking the
sabbatical.
Faculty sabbaticals was one of
the main issues to be
investigated by the committee.

OPINION
Editorial
Kraig

Talk about a disappointment.
Four and a half years and thou-
sands of dollars later, I was
rewarded with my diploma. It
only took the university two
months to the day to send it to
me, but I figured that it would be
well worth the wait.
Not even close. To my aston-
ishment, this piece of paper that I
had put so many long hours of
work into, didn't even strike me
as nice.
I guess maybe I made it out to
be a little more than what it was
going to be, but after all that
work and all that money, it felt
like a big slap in the face.
Do you know what a real slap
in the face is? Whenever you are
approaching your graduation,
you have to pay fifteen dollars to
get a stupid green form that your
advisor fills out to make sure that
all of your requirements are in
order. Couldn't the advisors do
this for free, or are the steamline
projects really going that bad?
The old adage states,"There's
no such thing as a free lunch",
and I have found this to be very
true, but if nothing else, make the
diplomas a little classier.
My degree was in communica-
tion and all the diploma read was
that Kraig Allan Koelsch has
received a Bachelor of Science
degree from Clarion University
on this day and a whole bunch of
other meaningless jargon.
Not one word was mentioned
about communication. I'm not
saying that communication had
to even be mentioned, but why
did it take two months to send the
damn thing out.
Whenever they want your fif-
teen dollars, they don't give you
two months to pay. You pay it on
the spot, or you don't get your
fifteen dollar piece of green
paper.
I am very proud of my degree,
and I was very happy to receive it
from Clarion University. In fact,
I'm back in the graduate program
pursuing yet another degree.
Hopefully if I'm fortunate
enough to receive my masters
degree, a piece of paper worm
looking at would be nice, and it
would be a lot nicer if the admin-
istration would give it to me fif-
teen dollars cheaper.
I guess we'll just have to wait
and see, but don't hold your
breath.

Part I: Learning the Lesson
I began running, it was 1979 and
events were going badly. I decided to
turn my life around. Running became
the flagship for the changes that
swept over me that year as I turned
from self destruction and addiction to
fulfillment and promise. Running
holstered and sustained me as I strug-
gled back. As the miles accumulated,
I felt a real sense of accomplishment
and pride. One mile, five miles, ten
miles... I was a runner.
Eventually my running led me to
race and to match my speed against
the speed of others. I first raced in
Erie while home on leave from the
Navy. It was a 10k (6.2 mile) race. I
achieved both of my goals: I finished
the race and I wasn't last. In fact, I
finished somewhere in the middle of
the pack, safely anonymous and
filled with the pride of achievement.
My time in that first race was about
48 minutes, and I was hooked. I
talked about running: I ran, I read

about running. I ran some more, and
I raced some more. I became faster.
My 10k times dropped to 46:44, even
43 minutes. But to win a 10k race
required a time much faster. Could I
win a race?
I had the drive and the determina-
tion to run faster, and I was aching to
find a passion in my life. Running
would be it. But I had a long way to
go. I pushed and trained hard. I hurt.
I pushed and Gained some more. My
times improved marginally, but my
progress lessoned. Finally. I serious-
ly injured myself and wasn't able to
run for months: in fact I couldn't
even walk for some time. I was
depressed. What was wrong? Why
was I slow?
I was convinced that my failure to
run at faster and faster speeds was a
lack of discipline, a lack of willpow-
er, a lack of motivation, and a lack of
commitment. My newly gained self-
esteem began to evaporate and self-
doubt again reared its head. During
my recovery from my injury I read
about research on world-class run-
ners I read about fast-twitch and
slow-twitch muscle fibers. I exam-
ined studies of differing abilities to
deliver blood and oxygen to the
body. I read about how people were
very different in their ability to run
fast. It began to dawn on me that per-
haps fast runners were different from
me. Maybe it was more than just ded-
ication or motivation or commit-
ment. Maybe there was an element
that I failed to factor into the speed
equation.
Eventually. I came to realize that no
amount of discipline and commit-
ment would ever put me in a class
with the people who run fast and win
races because I simply didn't have
the ability to run that fast. I had lim-
itations. Whether my limitations
were because I didn't start running
when I was younger, or because my
parents didn't model running for me.
or because my genes didn't contain
the instructions for the type of legs,
heart and lungs that make a great
runner didn't matter. I recognized
and accepted that I didn't have it.
And so I was liberated. I was liber-
ated from trying to be something that
I did not have the tools to become. I
was liberated from being judged by
standards that were inappropriate for
me. And I was liberated to be. not the
best in the race, but the best that I
could be I continued to run and I run
today and enjoy it within the frame-
work of my own abilities and limita-
tions.
Part II- Applying the Lesson
A race teaches a hard lesson. There
are two rigid standards: the perfor-
mance of other runners, and the stop-
watch.
As in life, we compete against each
other and against standards of excel-
lence. Life's lessons are also hard.
Not everyone can win. Not everyone
can be the best.
Our classrooms are preparation for
life. As teachers, we would like
everyone to win; everyone to com-
plete the semester proudly earning an
"A". But. as keepers of the stopwatch
and counters of the finishers, we are
obliged to say to some, "you did a
good job" and to others, with more
difficulty say. "you did a poor job."
We are obliged to differentiate the
performers from those who do not
perform and in so doing, to encour-
age some to follow one path and
encourage others on to other paths.
And we are obliged to realistically
reflect the expectations that students
will encounter upon leaving our
schools.
Like the runner reflecting on his
performance, the student's reflection
on their performance may lead to
harder work, or more motivation, or
less television, or less partying, or
more time in the library.
And if the student has already given
as much effort as possible and used
all their resources to the best of their
ability, they may make a realistic re-
appraisal of their abilities and their
limitations. But this re-appraisal can
only be made based upon the
teacher's judgment, as faulty as it
may sometimes be. dispensed as fair-
ly and as honestly as possible. All of
us are unique. True diversity admits
to. and celebrates, the abilities and
limitations that we all possess. We
should be evaluated, not as a member
of some stereotyped group and not as
a member of some homogeneous
non-differentiated mass, but as
unique individuals. Liberation of the
individual acknowledges our
strengths and our weaknesses as a
starting point for the singular trail
that our life may blaze. Anything less
confines us to the dreary paths that
others assign to us. One of our goals
as educators should be to help stu-
dents discover and develop their
unique abilities and to make them
realize what truly marvelous beings
they really are. But there's another
more difficult job. and that is to help
students discover their limitations.
And this is tricky territory. We don't
want to discourage or humiliate, but
neither should we mislead or encour-
age false expectations. When limita-
tions are confronted, we must try to
help discover where abilities lie and
try to motivate students to use those
abilities to the utmost.
It's a precarious path along which
we guide our students. Although we
revel in the successes of those who
we have helped in some small way to
realize their dreams, we must admit
too to those whose grasp we didn't

READER RESPONSES
Thomas Jefferson rolled over in his grave
I would like to clear up some
misrepresented implications in your
editorial section which was
presented by the anonymous author.
"Thomas Jefferson II." I am
referring to ''An open letter to the
Clarion County Board of
Commissioners," posted February
15, 1996. The author found it
necessary to accuse the County
Commissioners of "BLATANT
INSENSITIVITY AND
INTOLERANCE toward many of
their fellow citizens." What had
they done wrong?
They prayed at the beginning of
their public session.
The author suggested that the
County Commissioners may have:
offended "numerous minorities,"
been unreasonable: been
irresponsible; been superficial and
acted improper and illegal when
they started their public forum with
prayer.
The letter could almost have one
wondering if Thomas Jefferson II
(TJ II) was ripped-off at the
bookstore when purchasing a copy
of THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES, or maybe TJ II
does not really know what our
Constitution states. One would also
wonder why the author would make
claim to Thomas Jefferson's lineage
via his ideals, when Thomas
Jefferson would argue that the public
officials have done no harm.
Among Thomas Jefferson's writings:
Notes on the State of Virginia ( 1 78 1 -
1785): "The legitimate powers of
government extend to such acts only
as are injurious to others. But it
does me no injury for my neighbor
to say there are twenty gods, or no
God. It neither picks my pocket nor
breaks my leg." Another writing of
Thomas Jefferson's is found in the
Virginia declaration of rights ... "and
therefore all men are equally entitled
to the free exercise of religion,
according to the dictates of
conscience."
Many people are of the
understanding that the First
Amendment creates a wall of
separation between church and state.
What amazes me is the fact that
none of those words are mentioned
in the First Amendment. I will give
a hundred dollars a week for life to
the person that can show me any of
the following words in the First
Amendment: wall: separation:
church: or state.
FIRST AMENDMENT
Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof:
or abridging the freedom of speech,
or of the press: or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble, and
to petition the Government for a
redress of grievances.
A wall of separation between
church and state is not specifically
mentioned in the First Amendment.
Is it implied? Many believe it is
because of a letter written by
Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury
Baptist Association in which he uses
the words "wall of separation of
church and state." A letter is hardly
a law. Not to mention the recent
misunderstood environment behind
the letter. It is common practice in
law to search for original drafts and
writings of committees and staffs
when laws seem to be ambiguous.
In order to understand our
ambiguous Constitution we must
read the writings of the founders and
especially those that contributed
specific parts. Thomas Jefferson
was in France at the time the
Constitution was written. He
campaigned by correspondence for a
Bill of Rights while he was in Paris;
it was James Madison who actually
worded the two religion clauses of
the First Amendment.
James Madison was truly a
religious man and, much like TJ II,
he kept much of his belief a private
matter. Madison was personally a
private man and did not feel that
government should provide a forum
for religious discourse. That doesn't
mean that one is not to pray at the
opening or closing of a government
session. As a lawyer. James
Madison was a fervent defender of
religious liberties and knew that
there was a great difference between
praying in government (freely
exercising one's religion) and
preaching a particular religion
(establishing a religion) from
government. One need not worry
about their religious freedoms being
violated with two men like James
Madison and Patrick Henry around.
Patrick Henry, who many would
consider the greatest orator of all
times, was also a defender of
religious rights and he volunteered
his time and services to such
matters.
The First Amendment clearly
shows that if one is to believe that a
"wall of separation of church and
state" is to exist then the wall is
meant to protect the church from
government, not government from
the church. It is important to note
too that the behavior of our
Founding Fathers in the public
forums should give little doubt that
this previous statement is true.
George Washington, one of the most
honored Founding Fathers,
obviously did not view prayer in a
public forum as unconstitutional.
In his farewell address. George
Washington stated that religion and
morality are at the center of
patriotism, and necessary for our
nation to survive. George
Washington made it clear that he
believed morality could not be
maintained apart from religion.
John Adams (our second president)
said, "Our Constitution was made
only for moral and religious people."
James Madison our fourth president
said, "The belief in a God All
Powerful, wise and good, is essential
to the moral order of the world and
to the happiness of man." How
about our sixth president. John
Quincy Adams. "The highest glory
of the American Revolution was
this: it connected, in one
indissoluble bond, the principles of
civil government and the principles
of Christianity." This is certainly
not the same view as Madalyn
Murray OTIair. who convinced the
Supreme Court she understood the
First Amendment better than the
Founding Fathers.
Congress decided that George
Washington's inauguration would
close with a church service at St.
Paul's chapel, held, no less, by the
chaplains of Congress.
The Congress that approved a
national day of prayer and
thanksgiving was the same congress
that endorsed the First Amendment.
Congress issued this statement in
1782: The Congress of the United
States approves and recommends to
the people, the Holy Bible ... for use
in schools." By using the word
recommend, Congress showed their
loyalty to the first amendment.
They couldn't force the Bible on
anyone because that might amount
to establishing a religion. They
made it clear though that influence
was allowed to penetrate the "wall
of separation between church and
slate."
And how about the State
Constitutions The North Carolina
State Constitution (1876) doesn't
allow any person to hold any office
or place of trust in that state that
denies the being of God or that holds
religious principles incompatible
with the freedom and safety of the
State. The Delaware Constitution of
1776 expects all appointed to public
office to declare a Faith in God and
His Trinity, and that the Bible was
"given by divine inspiration." Of
the thirteen colonies, nine had
written constitutions, many of them
reflecting the same ideas as North
Carolina's and Delaware's. The
State Constitutions merely provide
further evidence that the Founding
Fathers did not intend that the
church was not to influence'
government.
The Founders were very wise men.
They knew that if the second clause
about religion wasn't added to the
First Amendment, then the first
clause about religion might be
misunderstood. For Congress could
not deny a public official from
exercising his/her religion at any
particular time; it's literally

Chandler worker responds to complaints
Deal - Editor.
I am writing in response to your
front page article about the changes
at Chandler. Reimer, and Gemmell.
Since I am familiar with Chandler
and Reimer. these are the locations I
will discuss.
I am a student worker at Chandler
and I also worked at Reimer for a
period of time. As an associate I.
along with several others, was
offended by the article written by
Christy Sanzari. Ms. Sanzari made it
sound like Dave and Karen were
single-handledly responsible for all
the changes that took place. I believe
in giving credit where credit is due.
yes. Dave and Karen put in a lot of
hours and that has been recognized.
However, there were several others
involved. Ken. one of our managers,
froze his butt off in that garage too.
Lonnie, another manager, was there
also. There were maintenance men
there to help. I don't know the
names of the maintenance men and I
apologize for that. Gentlemen, you
know who you are. And I can't
forget Tom Shirey, he helped out
too. Also Chuck. Ron. Tom D. and
Ron. If I missed anyone I apologize.
Now. while I am giving credit
where credit is due, I would like to
recognize all of the associates for the
work they do. They too often go
unappreciated. It's a shame that
many students do not appreciate our
efforts. As an associate. I can say we
put up with a lot. It is amazing how
rude students can be. I am not
attacking the whole student body,
but those who are rude know who I
am talking about. We are cursed at
and argued with on a regular basis,
granted, we have our bad days and at
times we may not all be pleasant, but
we don't deserve the rudeness or to
be cursed at. We are doing what we
are told to do. There are rules to be
followed. As associates, we don't
make the rules. It is our job to
enforce them. If you don't like the
rules, management will gladly speak
with you and I'm sure Deb Boyles
would like to hear from you. We
listen to your complaints daily One
of the biggest complaints I have
heard recently is about having to
walk through a "maze" when you
come in the door. Would you rather
stand outside in the cold? There are
complaints about portion sizes. Is it
such an ordeal to go back for
seconds? Have you ever eaten in a
restaurant that had a buffet or
smorgasbord? Did you complain
because you had to go back?
We don't really appreciate the
messes left in the dining rooms. We
are not amused by the holes poked
in the salt and pepper shakers or
utensils and fruit left in the napkin
holders. Do you do that at home' 7
We are not your personal
maids. .they don't pay us enough for
that. Would you like to be cursed at
every day? For those of you who
think our jobs are easy why don't
you apply? For those who have
complaints about Reimer I
understand there are several
positions open. Why don't you give
it a try?
In conclusion. I will repeat that all
of the associates at Chandler and
Reimer deserve to be recognized for
the work they do There are too
many to name but they know who
they are. For the most part, they are
all a great group of people.
Throughout my employment there. I
have become closer to some more
than others and those people were
always there when I needed a
shoulder to lean on and a good
lecture when I needed it for that
matter. They made it all worth while.
So the next time you want to yell
at us. curse at us. or want to
complain, remember we are only
human and we deserve to be treated
as such. It's simple courtesy and if
you think you can do our jobs
better. ..by all means fill out an
application.
Sincerely.

School officials dispute experimenting
School officials from Allegheny County told law-makers
Tuesday they did not conduct psychological experiments on
children or give them the drug Ritalin, as parents had testified two
weeks ago. Parents from the Gateway and Duquesne school
districts had accused the districts of illegally distributing the drug
and giving the children psychological tests without parental
permission. During Tuesay's hearing before the subcommittee on
basic education, Rep. Ronald Cowell, D-AUegheny, asked
subcommittee chairman Rep. Jere Schuler, R-Lancaster, to contact
Allegheny County authorities and request an investigation.
Bill limiting sabbaticals moves forward
Teachers would not be able to use sabbaticals for travel, early
retirement or as severance pay under a bill approved Tuesday by
the House Education Committee.
Teachers can still take sabbaticals for their education or health
reasons under the bill. The bill, approved 21-1, likely will move
to the House Appropriations Committee before it goes to the full
chamber for a vote, said Rep. Jere Schuler, R-Lancaster.
Sabbaticals - or paid leaves of absences - triggered heated debate
recently when Gov. Tom Ridge estimated during his budget
address that Pennsylvania taxpayers pay as much as $225 million
annually towards them. The state's largest teachers union reacted
angrily, saying Ridge had grossly overestimated the amount.
Two faded rap stars are held for trial
Two faded rap stars and a third man were held for trial Tuesday
in the slaying of a city police officer alter prosecutors produced
two confessions, a videotape and testimony of officers who
described their beloved colleague's final moments. Nearly 20
officers crowded the courtroom where Common Pleas Judge Louis
Presenza held Warren McGlone, 26, Christopher Roney, 26. and
Mark Canty, 22, on charges of murder, robbery, conspiracy,
aggravated assault and other offenses. Officer Lauretha Vaird, 43,
was shot in the chest just after she walked in the door of a PNC
Bank branch Jan. 2. The nine-year veteran, responding to the
bank's silent alarm, became the first woman officer slain in the
line of duty in city history. Officer Donald Patterson, the second
officer on the scene, said he heard a scream and a gunshot and,
seconds later, saw Roney run out of the bank. Roney pointed the
gun at Patterson, who fired at him six times, and then lied in a
minivan, Patterson said.
Attorneys spar over Kevorkian 9 s intent
Dr. Jack Kevorkian plugged up his ears in a gesture of disdain
Tuesday as lawyers at his assisted-suicide trial argued over
whether his primary intent was to relieve suffering or simply to
kill. Kevorkian put his fingers and, at times, cotton balls in his
ears during opening arguments and initial testimony. "Are you
listening to this crap?" he said. He said he was instead reading a
list of words to strengthen his vocabulary.
The 67-year-old retired pathologist is accused of assisting in
the 1993 deaths of Merian Frederick, 72, of Ann Arbor, and Dr.
Ali Khalili, 61, of Oak Brook, 111. They died by inhaling carbon
monoxide.

Law enforcement or law harrasment?
Have the police nothing better to do
than prey upon college students
walking home responsibly from
parties? In no way do I condone
underage drinking, but I do feel that
if an individual is responsible
enough to walk home without
causing a disturbance, he or she
should not be harassed by a police
officer.
That is exactly what happened to
my girlfriend this past weekend.
While walking home from a party
she was stopped by a state Uooper.
The officer stepped out of the car
and grabbed her by the arm and he
told her she was trespassing. She
had stepped onto the edge of lawn to
avoid slipping on an icy sidewalk. I
can understand the severity of
stepping on someone's lawn she
should probably be sentenced to life
imprisonment. You can bet that if
my 80 year old grandmother was
avoiding an ice patch she would not
be bothered.
So why should college students be
subjected to this harassment. I am 22
years old and I have been stopped by
the police several times for
committing the crime of walking
home. What message are you dying
to send to us? Should we take out
our car keys and go for a ride after a
few beers? Maybe then we won't be
stopped. I have visited many other
schools which are much larger than
Clarion and you can actually walk
from point A to point B without
seeing flashing lights. At larger
schools, the police focus their
attention on people committing
crimes, not people having a little fun
and walking home responsibly.

impossible for Congress to do so
without violating the First Religion
clause. Atheism is a religion and
Atheists constantly exercise their
religion. The exercise of their
religion is broke when their words or
actions imply or suggest a belief in
God. To deny an Atheist his/her
religion would be to require them to
profess a belief in God. Denying
public officials from praying in
public forums would be only
allowing them to practice Atheism.
Thus, Congress would be
establishing Atheism as the only
religion tolerated in the government.
Congress allowing only the Atheist
religion in government would be

neither denied the Atheist nor the

The First Amendment was written
to allow people to pray freely.
Could it be that the word •'free" in
the First Amendment might mean
that the exercise of Religion cannot
be restricted by a given condition or
circumstance? Or maybe Noah
Webster doesn't know the definition
of the word "free". The Founders
would not have used the word free if
it wasn't intended. The County
Commissioners are protected by the
first Amendment to freely pray even
in the circumstance and condition of
a public meeting. Of coarse, no
action is allowed to violate laws that
specifically protect the rights of
others. The County Commissioners
clearly did not violate any such
laws. They did not deny anyone a
right to their religion, nor did they
force a religion on anyone.
Their actions were definitely not
blatantly insensitive. A person that
is highly offended by another's

the way one exercises their religion
according to their own conscience,

Negative campaigning in a
primary season between presidential
candidates? Not unusual perhaps,
but this year's political
"mudslinging" between potential
GOP candidates may have the
opposite intended effect on voters, in
that it may deter some from even
voting in the New Hampshire
primary. A February 19. 1996 USA
TODAY article entitled. "Candidates
Still On the Nasty Track" by Judy
Keen, observed that the primary
campaign had turned into a "nasty
battle mat may persuade some voters
to stay at home." According to a
February 19. 1996 U.S. NEWS &
WORLD REPORT article entitled.
Tune in, Turn Off. Drop Out" by
Stephen Budiansky. voters are not
being swayed to support one
candidate or another instead,
"negative advertising reinforces the
belief that all politicians are
dishonest and cynical."
A correlation might be drawn
between nasty campaign battles and
voter discontent. Senate Majority
Leader Bob Dole, who is on the
defensive, due to his small marginal
win in Iowa (only 37r ahead of Pat
Buchanan and less than 105 ahead of
Governor Lamar Alexander) is
fighting back by using the sUongest
negative attacks. The polls for the
New Hampshire primary according
to the USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup
New Hampshire tracking polls
showed Dole falling into a near tie
with Pat Buchanan. Whether or not
Dole's negative campaigning is the
cause of his fall in the polls cannot
be determined. However, the case
can be taken a step further when
observing the progress of one GOP
candidate who has made significant
gains in New Hampshire. According
to the same tracking poll that had
Dole and Buchanan at a virtual tie.
saw Alexander picking up support
from moderates, independents,
upper- income, and better educated
voters throughout New Hampshire.
These are the voters that are usually
assumed Dole supporters.
With Pat Buchanan having the
most loyal supporters in New
Hampshire, particularly support
from religious conservatives, his
chances of being adversely effected
by his participation in a negative
campaign may not be as strong as
Dole's. The effects of negative
campaigning on those who
participate are inconclusive,
however the effects of it on voters is
more apparent. In the before
mentioned article by Budiansky.
"Tune In. Turn Off. Drop Out." it is
revealed that negative ads do not
really fool people as once thought.
These ads do contribute to the lack
of voter turnout, because as
Budiansky states, "after viewing ads
that attacked one candidate or
another, people's expressed intention
to vote decreased dramatically." This
is important because it may lead to
an even larger lack of voter
participation throughout the
primaries and perhaps even into
November.

primary, see page 7 of the News section.

Construction on steamline tunnels will soon resume
by Matt Winger
News Writer
Due to recent difficulties with
the weather, the massive steam-
line construction project has been
temporarily postponed. Donald
Elder, Sr., a representative from
the Maintenance Department,
reported the $4.2 million, state-
funded project was put on hold
on January 1 . Elder says the pro-
ject will soon resume. "Palo
Construction is building the tun-
nels, and the heating contractor
was installing steam lines in the
tunnels until last Friday, he
stopped because he'd gone as far
as he could go,"Elder reported.
The steamline construction pro-
ject will resume on March 1 1 and
will continue through the rest of
the semester. According to Elder,
the project should be completed
by the middle of July or August.
The steamline construction,
which has been going on for sev-
eral years on different parts of the
Clarion campus, recently began
building tunnels for the steam
lines under Thome Street. These
tunnels, which will branch out
and connect to other tunnels on
campus, will not only contain
steam lines.
According to the 1994-1995
President's Report, the tunnels
are large enough for workers to
walk under the campus. There is
also additional room for utility
lines, fiber optic cabling, and
whatever future needs may arise.
The tunnels are also considered
to have low maintenance needs,
possibly decreasing the amount
of funds spent on maintenance of
heating and cooling systems on
the campus. The report estimated
that the steamlines being
replaced were losing a large
amount of steam daily that
caused $290,000 in losses in a
200 day heating year.
At this point in the project,
there haven't been any major
problems with the construction.
There has been one minor snag
that has put off part of the con-
struction effort. According to
Elder, a water main was broken
in late September of 1995.
Residents in Campbell Hall could
only use water or bathe at certain
times during the days it was
under repair.
Several rumors concerning the
construction of the steamline tun-
nels have been circulating around
campus. Several students work-
ing for WCUC, the Clarion
University radio station, appar-
ently believed the construction
crew working on the project had
accidentally cut the cables that
run from the station to the trans-
mitter.
A representative of the station
has reported that the rumor had
no value as the truth.
He reported the cables and
wiring had been disconnected for
a brief period of time in order for
the tunnels to be built.
Other students are complaining
about the whole situation and are
wondering why the giant con-
struction equipment is just sitting
there.
This annoyance was best illus-
trated by Michael Keaton, a
junior communications major,
who said, "It just makes every-
thing so inconvenient, and it's an
eyesore. I'm upset that they
areri't working on it right now." t
New accreditation for library science program
by Lisa Lawson
News Writer
Clarion University is one of the
only three Pennsylvania universi-
ties accredited by the American
Library Association (ALA) to
have a Library Science program.
The other two schools are Drexel
University and the University of
Pittsburgh.
Students enrolled in the
Department of Library Science
here at Clarion University are
offered a variety of degrees.
A Bachelor of Science in
Elementary Education with a
specialization in Library Science
will certify the student to teach in
classrooms for grades K-6, or as
a librarian for grades K-12.
A Bachelor of Science in edu-
cation with Library Science
Certification also certifies the
student to be work as a librarian
for grades K-12.
Also offered are a Bachelor of
Science degree in Business
Administration Management/
Library Science, a Master of
Science in Library Science, and a
Master of Science in Library
Science with Media Certification
The Library Science program for
undergraduates has been in exis-
tence at Clarion University since
December of 1937, and the grad-
uate program was accredited in
1975. The department, which
currently consists of seven facul-
ty members, has been working
for over a year to prepare the nec-
essary documents for reaccredita-
tion.
Dr. Ahmad Gamaluddin,
Department Chairman and
Director of the Graduate Program
noted, "Accreditation is vitally
important for the students."
Gamaluddin also noted that all of
the preparations are "...worth it
because school libraries and pub-
lic libraries elect to hire someone
from an accredited school."
As far as the process itself goes,
a two volume document was
already sent to the American
Library Association describing
Clarion's program.
Now, from March 16-19, a team
from the ALA will come to
Clarion in order to verify the doc-
uments they received.
This team is the Committee on
Accreditation (COA), which
supervises accreditation among
all Pennsylvania schools.
During the process, the COA
will determine whether or not
Clarion University lives up to a
set of six standards.
These are: mission, goals and
objectives: curriculum; faculty;
students; administration and
financial support; and physical
resources and facilities.
Following the visit, a summary
report will be sent to Clarion to
make sure the department here
agrees with the team's findings.
This report is then returned to
the committee and both sides
meet to decide upon official ac
credilation.
Accreditation for the program
will then last seven years.
According to Gamaluddin, "We
don't expect any problem. We
have the support of the adminis-
tration, we have good resources,
and we have good faculty."
The department at Clarion prides
itself on the accomplishments of
its students.
After graduating, 95-99 percent
of students get placed in this
field, and the average starting
salary is $25,000.

Waste Management course formed
Courtesy of University
Relations
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania's effort to address
the topic of garbage, a course
called "Waste Management,
Landfills, Recycling, and
Composting," has attracted an
enrollment beyond the expected
undergraduate and graduate stu-
dents to include some municipal
employees involved with the
problem.
"I contacted biology depart-
ment chair Dr. Jack Williams
about offering this course
because I was aware of the envi-
ronmental programs offered by
the department and the quality of
the students," says Dr. Robert
Diener. "I wanted to be a part of
that program. Jack agreed and
helped to recruit the students to
make the course possible."
Diener, chair and professor of
agricultural and environmental
technology at West Virginia
University, is teaching the week-
ly course as a guest professor at
Clarion University. A Brookville
native, he is the author of numer-
ous publications on waste man-
agement and is an expert on com-
posting technology as well as
being a registered professional
engineer in both West Virginia
and Pennsylvania.
"This course grew out of talks I
gave to environmental groups six
to eight years ago," says Diener.
"Those talks covered landfills,
and incineration/RDFs. I added
recycling composting, household
hazardous waste, and bio-reme-
diation of waste to develop the
course. This current offering has
been adapted to Pennsylvania
laws and the needs of the
Commonwealth. I think the
course is unique because it
involves guest lecturers on a reg-
ular basis and field trips to waste
management sites to keep this
course at the very forefront of
knowledge."
The course topics include:
waste management vs. discard
management; landfills: refuse
derived fuel, incineration of
waste; recycling of municipal
solid waste; planning for recy-
cling; recycling cooperatives;
introduction to compositing; on-
site compositing; commercial
composting;

Lawless Committee Continued Front Page 1
The following is a brief synopsis of the criminal investigations con-
ducted by Public Safety for the dates Feb. 13 to Feb. 19. The blotter
is compiled by Clarion Call Public Safety reporter Jason Weaver.
•Officers investigated the theft of a VCR tape player from Marwick
Boyd sometime between the afternoon of Feb. 13 and the morning of
Feb. 14. Anyone knowing or seeing anything about this incident please
contact Public Safety.
•On Feb. 14 between the hours of 5:30 p.m. and 7:10 p.m., an
unknown person or persons smashed the door of 3 1 3 A Campbell Hall
Residents were out when the incident occurred. There are no suspects
at this time.
During the morning hours of Feb. 16., officers responded to several
false fire alarms at Nair Hall. Although the alarms were all set off in
various ways, the building had to be evacuated no less than five times
between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. the incidents are under
investigation and the university police have a number of suspects.
Anyone having any further information should contact Public Safety.
On Feb. 17, a report was filed about a dumpster from Chandler Dining
hall that had apparently been pushed from the Lot E area down the hill
by Harvey Hall. There are no suspects at this time. This had happened
on the video cameras outside Egbert Hall. The videotapes from the
cameras will be reviewed.
A student reported receiving a harassing letter from another student
on Feb. 18. Warnings were given. It will be handled at the university
level.
be investigated by the committee.
The committee recommended
institutions should develop
stronger guidelines for faculty
workloads and travel of faculty.
The committee also reaffirmed
their position on the reduction for
employees and faculties of
Pennsylvania universities. This is
likely to increase controversy
dealing with Governor Tom
Ridge's cutback in state money
for SSI IF schools and in the
wake of a fierce contract negotia-
tion battle with APSCUF and
The committee's report was
passed with a majority vote of
three to two. The majority votes
were cast by Rep. Lawless, Rep.
Fanner, and Rep. Raymond. A
minority report was also included
for submittal to the House by
Rep. Coy and Rep. Rudy.
Included in the minority report
were several principles that dealt
with higher education policies at
present. One principle summa-
rized the minority report by stal-
ing that "the House of
Representatives must seek to
avoid the temptation to micro-
manage our universities."

vately owned compost facility
which composts Pittsburgh
leaves. The class will also design
an in-vessel compost facility for
Clarion County as part of a class
project based on newly devel-
oped regulations by Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental
Resources.
"My teaching philosophy is to
involve the students as much as I
can," says Diener. "Each of them
will conduct a personal waste
audit. They will carry a garbage
bag with them for two days and
deposit all of the municipal waste
they accumulate. We will weigh
that waste in class so they can
conduct their own personal waste
audit. We will also conduct a
compost lab in which food waste
from the Clarion University cafe-
teria will be composted and ana-
lyzed by the students."

Republican nomination race heats up
by Matthew Geesey,
News Editor
The Presidential race is under-
way as the nation's first primary
has reached an end with an
unsuspected leader leading the
pack of Republican hopefuls. Pat
Buchanan, a right-wing conserv-
ative radio commentator, won the
New Hampshire primary which
was held on Tuesday, with 27%
of the popular vote at 53,855
votes cast for him. Bob Dole, the
Senate majority leader, came in a
close second with 26% of the
popular vote at 51,386 votes cast
for him. Lamar Alexander, for-
mer governor of Tennessee,
rounded out the top three with
23% of the popular vote at
45,291 votes cast for him. Other
nominees who have won votes
are Steven Forbes, a prominent
businessman who received
24,036 votes, Senator Richard
Lugar from Indiana who received
10,307 votes, Alan Keyes, a radio
commentator from Maryland
who received 5,331 votes; and
Morry Taylor who received 2,816
votes. The incumbent President
Bill Clinton is running unop-
posed in the Democratic nomina-
tion.
The battle for the Republican
nomination has created a tense
situation for voters. A number of
nominees including Pete Wilson,
former governor of California;
Senator Arlen Spector of
Pennsylvania; and Senator Phil
Ciramm of Texas, have dropped
out of the race due to expensive
campaign bills that all nominees
are experiencing. Fierce advertis-
ing campaigns that degrade your
opponent and praise yourself are
being demonstrated by all candi-
dates, even the ones that claim
they wouldn't stoop to that level.
Candidates are participating in
many different kinds of public
attended events from public
forums to pancake-making con-
tests. One of the biggest changes
in the front-runner race is the dis-
sent of Steven Forbes from the
list of the top three. He is now at
number four after the bad show-
ing in the Iowa caucus. This has
allowed Lamar Alexander to
come up from fourth and make a
significant impression on
Republican voters.
One of the main issues involved
in the Presidential race are based
on various ways on how to bal-
ance the budget. Steven Forbes'
strategy includes the establish-
ment of a flat tax. Other candi-
dates strongly oppose this mea-
sure since it favors the rich, upper
class more than the other classes.
This has created a division in the
Republican party that has
brought much opposition from
right-wing conservative com-
mentators like Pat Buchanan and
Rush Limbaugh. Most feel that
the strong impact that some nom-
inees have taken on the low and
middle classes makes them look
more like Democratic nominees
than Republican nominees.
In result, some commentators
feel that voters will vote for a real
Democrat like Bill Clinton rather
than a Republican who's adopt-
ing some Democratic views like
Bob Dole and Lamar Alexander.
As the race continues, the
Republican nominee for
President will become apparent
by the current hopeful who con-
sistently wins the larger states'
primaries.
The larger states include New
York, Texas, Pennsylvania,
California, and Florida. On
Saturday, the Delaware primary
will be held. Steven Forbes is
hoping for a big comeback. On
Feb. 27, primaries will be held in
Arizona, North Dakota and South
Dakota. Forbes and Dole are also
hoping for stong voter showup.
On March 7, New York will have
their primary that will seperate
most of the nominees from the
front-runners.
Super Tuesday will be on March
12. Florida, Texas, Oklahoma,
Mississippi and Tennessee will
hold their primaries. A significant
win on Tuesday will set the stage
for the Republican convention.
California's primary will be held
on March 26 and the primaries
will round up with
Pennsylvania's primary to be
held on April 16.

Food for thought... a look at dining services
by Brian Hoover
Hi Hoov here! You may not
know me from Adam, but for
those who do, you may wonder
why I'm on campus. My full
name is Brian Hoover and I grad-
uated last semester from Clarion.
So now you're probably think-
ing, if you graduated then why
are you here? Well, 1 have been
hired by the dining services on
campus as their new
Marketing/PR director. What
does that mean? Basically, what
it all boils down to is that it is my
job to make sure that you are
happy with the food services on
campus. The management here is
going out of its way to make sure
that you, the consumer, is satis-
fied. Recent changes thai you
may have seen in the cafe are evi-
dence of that. There is no reason
that you should have to settle for
something that you are dissatis-
fied with in regards to the food
service. We understand that you
have exams, money matters, rela-
tionship problems and relation-
ship problems (yes I meant to say
it twice) to deal with and you
don't need to be worrying about
the food services on top of all
that. That is why I am here. My
phone number at Chandler is
226-4912. 1 read and reply to the
response board every day and I
have the ability to make the
changes and accommodations
that you request- if they are in the
realm of possibilities (that means
no lobster and steak every night
requests.)
In addition to your requests,
positive comments about what
you like are also helpfull. For
example, on the Friday before
Super Bowl Sunday, we had a
tailgate party at Chandler. We
received a lot of positive feed-
back from that event and plan to
do others like it. If you have any
ideas that you "cooked up on
your own" (boo) let me know
about it and we can make it hap-
pen. Contests, tun themes, educa-
tional programs-you name it!
To wrap up, if you do your eating
here on campus, you should be
satisfied with the chow, viddles,
grub, food etc. It is our aim to
please you but, you need to meet
us halfway through your commu-
nication, cooperation and
patience. As I said, it is my job to
make you happy so please let me
know what you are thinking. In
weeks to come, I will fill this sec-
tion with new programs, menu
items, changes and other topics
related to university dining. I
hope to have fun with this col-
umn while I inform you of cafe
happenings and discuss related
topics.
Rhyme of the Week: Things are
changing right before your eyes!
Hope you noticed this week you
got warmer fries!

LEAD STORY
•In January, The Wall Street
Journal reported on the growing
fetish surrounding the act of
smoking As examples:
(1) An erotic smoking video
from an Oklahoma City firm,
Coherent Light: "The scene
opens with a young blonde
[Paula], dressed in a shimmering
strapless gown and a veiled black
hat, lighting her cigarette from a
nearby candle," the Journal
wrote. "She takes numerous long
drags." (2) A smokers' newsletter
with film reviews: Of the above
video, it wrote, [Paula] is a fab-
ulous smoker." Another review,
of the Hollywood movie "Mad
Love": "Drew Barry more
smokes throughout; there are
many deep inhales, although the
exhales aren't great." (3) The
fetish magazine Leg Show has
begun to include pictorials of
women smoking.
THE LITIGIOUS SOCIETY
•Lawsuits were filed in
December and January in New
Mexico after lawyers realized
that a 140-year-old state law*
allowed unlucky gamblers to sue
and almost automatically recover
their losses. Plaintiffs' lawyers
are seeking class-action status for
bettors against the banks, credit-
card companies and ATM net-
works that facilitate gambling at
the state's legal, Indian-owned
casinos.
•In October, Jesse A. Williams,
a veteran of alcohol treatment
programs, filed a lawsuit against
his former employer, Anheuser-
Busch, in Tampa, Fla., over his
1994 firing. The company says it
fired Williams for disparaging
company products in public, but
Williams claims the company

•In November, Christopher
Conley, 14, received a 550,000
settlement from Lifetime
Products, the manufacturer of a
basketball-goal net. Conley, of
Nashua, N.H., had sued because
his teeth had gotten caught in the
net as he went up for a dunk shot,
resulting in the need for massive
dental work.
•A judge in Durham, N.C., dis-
missed Sheila Bush's complaint
against her husband, Hobert
Bush, in January. The Bushes
live together as a couple on
Hobert's $70,000 salary in a
$200,000 house, but Sheila
claimed Hobert failed to give her
sufficient support in -that he
makes all the consumer purchas-
es himself. For example, she said,
he buys only cold cereal, and she
wants more waffles and bacon.
•In January, the Supreme Court
of Israel rejected the appeal of
inmate Amir Hazan, 35. that he
be allowed to keep an inflatable
doll in his cell. Prison officials
had turned him down, claiming
the doll might be used to aid an
escape attempt or to conceal
drugs - - and also that inmates
might fight over it.
•Rosaline A. Kelly lost her law-
suit against the former Spring
Street Tavern in Chippewa Falls,
Wis., in December. She had had
consensual, exhibitionistic sex
with two men in the bar three
years ago and sued because the
bartender and manager failed to
prevent her from acting irrespon-
sibly.
•A jury in Roanoke, Va., ruled
for Ruby Campagna in
November in her lawsuit against
her apartment house manager,
Judy Woody. Campagna had
grown fond of wrens that had
built a nest on her patio, but
Woody destroyed the nest per
apartment house policy, stomp-
ing the birds while having "a
malevolent scowl on her face,"
according to Campagna. The jury
awarded her $135,000 for post-
traumatic stress disorder.
•Heidi Beltzman, 29, filed a
lawsuit in October against Davis
Supermarket in a Pittsburgh sub-
urb for injuries she suffered
while shopping. Beltzman was in
a checkout line when a clerk in
an adjacent lane attempted to put

swelling on the foot, which was
still bandaged from surgery three
months before.

ventured out to this area, which
gets its name from the fact that it
is west of Des Moines, to catch
up with the campaign of Lamar
Alexander. He spoke at a break-
fast meeting of the Optimist
Club, a group of people devoted
to being cheerful even though
they meet at 7 a.m., a time when
professional journalists are usual-
ly deciding whether to have one
last beer before calling it a night.
The breakfast was held in a
smallish room crammed with
about 100 Iowans and what
appeared to be 200 TV news
crews elbowing each other out of
the way in a desperate compe-
tition to get crucial footage of
Iowans eating eggs. Hanging at
the front of the room was a ban-
ner that said, in huge letters,
"LAMAR!"
To my mind the banner was a
mistake, because it points up
Alexander's major weakness;
namely, his name is 'Lamar.'
This is not a studly, presidential-
sounding name like "Abe
Lincoln" or "Steve Forbes." I
think Lamar needs a nickname,
and in a generous effort to help
him out. I'm going to give him
one.
"Rock" Alexander gave a nice
talk, which the Iowans could
sometimes catch glimpses of
between the butts of TV camera
crews capturing the event for
posterity. Rock stressed his
experience, noting that he had
served as the governor of
Tennessee and in that capacity
had, on several occasions, spoken
personally with Minnie Pearl. He
also revealed where he stands on
the key issues of this campaign:
1. Hates Washington? —
CHECK
2. In favor of the family? —
CHECK
3. Will provide Leadership? —
CHECK
Rock is also an accomplished
pianist, and after his talk he
entertained the Optimists by
playing the Snoop Doggy Dogg
song "Ain't No Fun (If the
Homies Can't Have None)."
No, I'm kidding. He played
"Alexander's Ragtime Band"
and "God Bless America."
Afterward, however, he told the
news media that he once per-
formed "Great Balls of Fire"
with a symphony orchestra, and
for a dramatic finale he kicked
the piano bench off die stage. Get
down, Lamar!
While at the breakfast I took the
extreme journalistic step of talk-
ing with an actual Iowan, Dave
Songstad. a corn scientist who
creates new. improved com by
messing around with its DNA.
"Corn has DNA?" I asked.
Songstad confirmed that it
does: in fact, it has the same basic
DNA material as humans. This
means that scientists might some
day develop a hybrid organism
that is part human, part corn
plant, although there would be no
point, since we already have Kato
Kaelin.
Speaking of agriculture: I went
to the Des Moines convention
center to see the Power Farming
Show, which consisted of hun-
dreds of farmers wearing jeans
and baseball caps walking around
admiring farm machines the size
of federal buildings. I am talking
about machines that go WAY
beyond mere tractor: these are
humongous, scary-looking.
Death-Star-like things with
names like "Bristle Auger
Combine Header Transport S-
Tine Cultivator." These are
labor-saving devices: When a
soybean plant sees one of these
big babies rumbling toward it
across the field, it becomes so
terrified that it yanks its roots out
of the ground and harvests its
own self.

"Confronting Racism" workshop raises awareness
by Anissa Rupert
Lifestyles Writer
Are you prejudiced? This is the
question I was recently confront-
ed with this Monday when I
attended the two hour workshop
"Confronting Racism in
American Society."
As a white female, I strongly
consider myself not to be racist,
but always believed that "deep
down" I was a bit prejudiced to
my own extent. Over the years
I've had black friends, white
friends, Jewish friends and Asian
friends, but workshop presenter,
Ali Rashad Umrani made me
seriously consider all of these
relationships. How honest were
they? Was I something that I had
never imagined myself to be - a
hypocrite? Questioning issues
such as these is not an easy task
for anyone, but I now believe,
quite necessary. When we meet
someone who we hope to
befriend, we want to know all
about them. As we become clos-
er, as new friends, we often find
ourselves engaging long discus-
sions about family, friends and
life in general. But how honest
can these realtionships lie if we
truly do not understand each
other or appreciate where the
other is coming from?
Although I will obviously never
fully understand what it is like to
walk in the shoes of a black per-
son or any other minority, my
eyes were opened wide by Mr.
Umrani. He gave me a small
taste of the things I take for
granted every day. As a woman,
I, too, am considered to be a
minority. I, too, am not as privi-
leged as some. However, when
was the last time a stranger
clutched her purse as I neared her
on the street? When was the last
time someone discriminated
against me simply because of the
pale hue of my skin? I cannot
recall, but I am sure it's safe to
say probably never. Must I be
reminded of my color each day as
I turn on the television or watch
the latest political race - all
which are predominantly white?
How many times a day do I even
consider this? Some, but not
many.
Do not get me wrong, I am just
as proud as anyone of the color of
my skin. I will not deny that.
But after attending this work-
shop, I have developed a deeper
understanding and appreciation
for blacks and other minorities,
and the struggles they must
endure every day. I wish that
there was a simple answer to end-
ing prejudice and racism in
today's society, but, of course,
there is not.
I feel that by examining myself.
being truly honest with mvself.
and coming to a greater under-
standing of my own prejudices, I
have taken an enormous step in
helping fix what is wrong. I real-
ize that this may not seem like a
lot, but I challenge all of you to
look deep inside of yourselves
and examine your true feelings.
Are you prejudiced? Are you
willing to confront it? This prob-
lem is not going away, but every
solution must begin somewhere.
Why not with you?

LEAD STORY
•In January, The Wall Street
Journal reported on die growing
fetish surrounding the acl of
smoking As examples:
(1) An erotie smoking video
from an Oklahoma Cily firm.
Coherent Light: "The scene
opens with a young blonde
[Paula], dressed in a shimmering
strapless gown and a veiled black
hat, lighting her cigarette from a
nearby candle," the Journal
wrote. "She takes numerous long
drags." (2) A smokers' newsletter
with film reviews: Of the above
video, it wrote, [Paula] is a fab-
ulous smoker." Another review.
of the Hollywood movie "Mad
Love": "Drew B anymore
smokes throughout: there are
many deep inhales, although the
exhales aren't great." (3) The
fetish magazine Leg Show has
begun to include pictorials of
women smoking.
THE LITIGIOUS SOCIETY
•Lawsuits were filed in
December and January in New
Mexico alter lawyers realized
thai a 140-year-old stale law
allowed unlucky gamblers to sue
and almost automatically recover
their losses. Plaintiffs' lawyers
are seeking class-action status lor
bettors against die banks, credit-
card companies and ATM net-
works that facilitate gambling at
the state's legal, Indian-owned
casinos.
•In October, Jesse A. Williams,
a veteran of alcohol treatment
programs, filed a lawsuit against
his former employer, Anheuser-
Busch, in Tampa, Fla.. over his
1994 firing. The company says it
fired Williams for disparaging

•In November, Christopher
Conley, 14, received a $50,000
settlement from Lifetime
Products, the manufacturer of a
basketball-goal net. Conley, of
Nashua, N.H., had sued because
his teeth had gotten caught in the
net as he went up for a dunk shot,
resulting in the need for massive
dental work.
•A judge in Durham, N.C., dis-
missed Sheila Bush's complaint
against her husband, Hobert
Bush, in January. The Bushes
live together as a couple on
Hobert's $70,000 salary in a
$200,000 house, but Sheila
claimed Hobert failed to give her
sufficient support in -that he

•Rosaline A. Kelly lost her law-
suit against the former Spring
Street Tavern in Chippewa Falls,
Wis., in December. She had had
consensual, exhibitionistic sex
with two men in the bar three
years ago and sued because the
bartender and manager failed to
prevent her from acting irrespon-
sibly.
•A jury in Roanoke. Va., ruled
for Ruby Campagna in
November in her lawsuit against
her apartment house manager,
Judy Woody. Campagna had
grown fond of wrens that had
built a nest on her patio, but
Woody destroyed the nest per
apartment house policy, stomp-
ing the birds while having "a
malevolent scowl on her face,"
according to Campagna. The jury
awarded her $135,000 for post-
traumatic stress disorder.
•Heidi Belt/man, 29, filed a
lawsuit in October against Davis
Supermarket in a Pittsburgh sub-
urb for injuries she suffered
while shopping. Beltzman was in
a checkout line when a clerk in
an adjacent lane attempted to put
a 4-pound frozen chicken into a
bag, but the fryer rolled off the
counter and hit Beltzman on the

Waterworld is all washed up
by Steve Ostrosky
lifestyles Writer
While visiting the video store
looking for a movie to rent and
review tor The Call . I discovered
that all of the new releases I real-
ly wanted to see were already
rented. Therefore, I needed to
find something I thought would
be kind of interesting, or maybe
something that would surprise
me, and actually be pretty good.
I don't actually know what pos-
sessed me, but something inside
me wanted to see what all the
hype concerning Waterworld was
about. I had heard that it was
long, VERY expensive to make
and a waste of my time. After sit-
ting through this movie, I not
only realized that what I heard
was right, but it was even worse
than I thought.
The basic plot is simple. It is
the future. Global warming has
led to the melting of the polar ice
caps. The earth is almost entire-
ly water (hence the name
Waterworld ) and the realigning
people are determined to find dry
land to survive. Kevin Costner
leads a mission to find land, but
soon discovers that a large piece
of land, called an Atoll, has been
captured and is being held by the
bad guy, played by Dennis
Hopper. (You'll remember him
as the bad guy in a pretty good
movie, SjmL)
From there, the story basically
unfolds as a constant battle for
control of the Atoll. But it seems
like the story will never end.
Finally, 2 hours and 15 minutes
later, the story comes to a close.
For the few of you actually inter-
ested in viewing the movie, I'll
spare you by not revealing the
ending, which actually wasn't too

bad, compared to rest of the
movie, which, in a nutshell,
bored me almost to tears.
However, I can't say that the
movie was a total loss. The
scenery was beautiful. (Most of
the movie was filmed in Hawaii)
Some of the acting was pretty
good. And the movie raised a
very pressing social issue: If we
allow global warming to continue
unchecked, Kevin Costner and
Dennis Hopper may battle to take
over the world, and if you think
our world is in sorry shape now.
imagine Kevin Costner with gills
leading us. Scary thought!
As the movie ended, some
questions popped into my mind.
1. Did the movie need to drag
on for 2 hours and 15 minutes?
2. Did it really cost over $125
million to make this movie or
was that just to pay for all of the
fine-caliber acting?
3. Why would Kevin Costner
think mat this movie would help
his career?
4. Why would anyone, except
yours truly, actually pay money
to see a movie like this??
If you have absolutely nothing
to do, and the movie store doesn't
have anything else, THFN I
would recommend Waterworld
As for everyone else, unless you
enjoy torture, spend your money
on something a lot more worth
while.

The Stone Roses: Back again with great music
by Aaron Davis
Lifestyles Writer
To add a little more spice and
variety to the weekly music sec-
tion, Tina Matthis will be joing-
ing me in reviewing music
releases after break. This week I
am going to discuss the Stone
Roses 1995 release, "The
Complete Stone Roses." On this
CD, they have re-released sever-
al of their early songs. They have
a variety of influences, ranging
from the Beattles to 70's rock.
They take all of their influences
and use them to come up with
their own style. Oasis and others
have taken what the Stone Roses
have done and taken it to the
MTV level. A few years ago, the
Stone Roses were to be the sec-
ond coming of the Beattles. At
this point, they decided to take a
few years off.
It was about eleven years ago

when the Stone Roses released
their first songs. "So Young" and
"Tell Me" are two of the first
songs they recorded. They are
not very well recorded or pro-
duced, but they do show the
potential that the Stone Roses
have. Two years later, they
recorded more songs, including
"Sally Cinnamon" which show a
vast improvement. 1988 was
when their true potential began to
be realized. "Elephant Stone" is
a great song that would have
been top 40, if they would have
jumped on the MTV bandwagon.
The next song. "Full Fathom
Five" is an experiment that works
well, despite its unusual nature.
It is "Elephant Stone" played
backward.
1989 was their best year, and
also the last one that they
released a full-length album of all
new releases. "Made of Stone"
and "Going Down" show the
beauty of their mellow side.
"She Bangs the Drums" and "I
Wanna Be Adored" are classic
Stone Roses songs, upbeat but
not necessarily happy. The B-
sides "Mersey Paradise" and
"Standing Here" put to shame
most of the songs heard on the
radio by "alternative" groups. "I
Am the Resurrection" is one of
the best songs they have. It is a
very funky song with the tradi-
tional breathy vocals. "Fool's
Gold" is probably the most
famous song from this collection.
It is, along with "What the World
is Waiting For" a funky song, that
is only to be done by a talented
band like the Stone Roses.
"Where the Angels Play," the
only 1991 release on this collec-
tion, shows the turmoil that they
were in at that time. It was a few
years before anyone heard from
them again.
The Stone Roses are a band that
mixes politics, philosophy, and
pshychedelics into nearly every
song. These things become more
evident as the years go on. They
are one of the few bands I have
ever heard that can take a
depressing song and make it
sound romantic. Another charac-
teristic of the Stone Roses is that
they do what they want, when
they want. They are not interest-
ed in MTV as much as they are
about making great music.

Interfraternity Council's New Policy May have impact on Fraternity system at Clarion

they must wait for informal rush.
For the fraternities, this policy is
only in effect until that fraterni-

Talento furthur states, "I think
most fraternities will bring their
grades up this semester so they
can rush first semester freshman

really gave them a reality check
on their futures for rush."
The policy was voted on last

Talento says that,"deferring
rush is a good idea becauseit will
give freshman a chance to get a

them good time management
skills. He also feels that it will
give freshman an opputunity to
choose the best fraternity for
them."

Penn State is next
Golden Eagles fall to #8 ranked Lock Haven
By Tim Rafalski
Sports Writer
Life is full of "whatifs." What
if I studied more? What if I
worked harder? For the 22nd
ranked Clarion University
wrestling team it's, what if we
had a full line-up of our regular
starters?
The Golden Eagles (3-5-2)
played hosts to the powerful
eighth ranked Bald Eagles of
Lock Haven (15-1) on Sunday
and put on an impressive perfor-
mance with their "what if line-
up eventually bowing to the visi-
tors 20-16.
The match was pretty even
throughout. Both teams won five
bouts, but Lock Haven got some
very important bonus in the mid-
dle weights to pull away for the
win.
The showdown got underway
with the 118 pound bout between
Clarion's Sheldon Thomas,
ranked #2 in the nation, and Lock
Haven's Mike Kusick. Thomas
came out like a whirlwind, scor-
ing two takedowns in the first.
He continued to dominate the rest
of the match and came away with
a 10-2 major decision. That vic-
tory moved Thomas' record to
21-4 and put Clarion ahead 4-0
The 126 pound match featured
two highly-touted freshmen,
Clarion's Chris Marshall #10 and
Lock Haven's Terry Showalter.
This was a defense battle with
Showalter scoring the only take-
down and eventually winning 3-
2, reducing Clarion's lead to 4-3.
A chorus of disappointed moans
were heard throughout the gym
when it was announced that
Clarion would be forfeiting to
Lock Haven standout Cary Kolat
#2 at 134 pounds. The highly
anticipated match-up between
Kolat and Clarion's Bob
Crawford #8 was canceled due to
an ankle injury that's kept the
Golden Eagle grappler out of
action since January.
Action resumed with the 142
pound match between Clarion's
Stan Spoor and Lock Haven's
Brian Leitzel. The Bald Eagle
junior held a 2-1 lead after the
first period and then exploded for
14 points in the second and one
in the third for a 17-2 technical
fall. Lock Haven now held a 14-
4 lead over the Golden Eagles.
The Bald Eagles sent out anoth-
er buzzsaw in the 150 pound bout
between Clarion's Joe Solomon
and Mike Rogers #7. Solomon
couldn't get it going against the
Lock Haven standout and ended
up on the short end of 14-2 major
decision.
The 158 pound battle was the
first of two overtime matches.
Clarion's Ken Porter #10 and
Lock Haven's Neil Barnes fin-
ished a hard fought regulation
time match with a 3-3 tie. Porter
went on the attack at the whistle
and was able to take Barnes
down for 5-3 victory. That win
narrowed Lock Haven's lead to
17-7 and moved Porter's record
to 20-6.
Clarion's Paul Antonio #9 and
Lock Haven's Ben Keebler put
on a defense exhibition in the 167
pound match.
With no score going into the
final stanza Antonio went to
work, scoring an escape and take-
down to pull out the match 3-1.
Antonio's record now stands at
174.
The 177 pound match proved to
be very pivotal for the Bald
Eagles.
In a push-and-shove battle Lock
Haven's Mike Geurin #5 scored
the only takedown in a 4-1 win
over Juggy Franklin.
That win put Lock Haven ahead
20-10 and pretty much sealed the
team victory.
Jeff Levkulich/Clarion Call
Clarion wrestlers hope to upset Penn State this Sunday.
Clarion stalwart Bryan Stout #2
used two takedowns to shutout
Kevin Drew 4-0 at 190 pounds.
That win moved Stout's impres-
sive record to 16-1.
Carrying a 21-5 and previous
#10 ranking, Lock Haven's Joe
Eaton went into the heavyweight
match favored to win.
Clarion freshman Darrin Jarina
ignored Eaton's credentials and
went after him aggressively the
entire match.
With the crowd on there feet,
after some coaxing by head
coach Jack Davis, Jarina scored a
takedown in overtime for a 4-2
victory.
Although they didn't win Davis
was pleased with his team's per-
formance. "I thought we had
good wins against their 18
pounder, we had good wins
against their 58,67, and their
heavyweight, and Stout did what
he had to do." said Davis. "I
think all of our wins were good
wins because we beat good kids."
Davis also stated, "The pivotal
match was 126, we had beaten
him before and it just didn't work
out Sunday."
The Golden Eagles return to
action this Saturday against pow-
erful Penn State.
They then return home to wres-
tle Virginia on Sunday for Senior
day. Both matches are scheduled
to start at 1pm.
Swim teams prepare for PSAC'S
By Ben Keen
Assistant Sports Editor
The Clarion men's and
women's swim teams finished
with a perfect 7-0 dual meet
record this season by beating
Allegheny on February 3rd and
Slippery Rock nine days later.
These were the last two match-
es of the regular season for the
teams and they carry a slightly
different format for Clarion
swimmers.
Coach Miller allows the swim-
mers to choose which events they
want to swim in. It could be an
event they want to try or an event
they used to swim, it doesn't mat-
ter.
Coach Miller stated, "Both
Allegheny and Slippery Rock
have had down years so it
allowed us the luxury of doing
this. We don't always have this
opportunity." He went on to say
that, "This format is very good
for the team, but we worked out
hard before those meets as well."
The next meet for the men's and
woman's swimming teams is the
PS AC Championships on
February 22-24 at Edinboro.
The womens' team is looking
for their 26th straight champi-
onship and expect IUP and West
Chester to be their major compe-
tition coming from Shippcnsburg
and West Chester.
In addition to winning the
championships, the swim teams
would like to qualify more indi-
viduals or relay for nations.
Already qualifying for national
from the womens' team is fresh-
man Christina Tillotson, and
Lauri Ratica the defending
national champion in the 100 but-
terfly.
From the mens' team sophomore
Andy Smearman has qualified
for nationals.
The diving teams are sending
Tammy Quinn, Ken Bedford,
Andy Ferguson, and Brian
Ginocchetti to nationals as well.
This year NCAA Division II
Nationals will be held March 13-
16 at the University of North
Dakota.

Lady Golden Eagles cling to playoff hopes
By Chris Myers
Sports Writer
The drive for a place in "March
Madness" is exactly what makes
each college basketball game
important me last half of each
season. The Clarion University
women's basketball team put
their own drive on me second
half with dreams of a playoff
birth dancing in their heads.
The Golden Eagles found two
of their biggest rivals blocking
their path; Slippery Rock and
Indiana last week. It would be a
week when Clarion would be
seeking revenge in both contests
from earlier losses to both teams
on me road.
Slippery Rock defeated Clarion
earlier 79-70 and came into the
game as the #1 team in the East
region. The first half of action
was just what was expected from
these two rival teams. It was
tight the whole as neither team
gained total control of the half.
Lori Robinson of Slippery
Rock downed four three-pointers
and Mona Gaffney had three
fouls with just two points in the
offensive comparison. These
facts all played out for a 37-36
rockets lead.
Second half action started with
intensity and closeness between
the teams. This continued until
the Golden Eagles pulled ahead
by as many as eight points on a
three-pointer by Lori Dando.
The Rockets, behind the clutch
play of Pam Andersen on the
inside, stormed back until they
captured the lead at 66-65 with
just 1:16 left.
Clarion then fell behind by four
points after three foul shots by
Andersen. Mona Gaffney
downed a layup to make it 69-67
Slippery Rock. Clarion wouldn't
score again and were defeated by
the Lady Rockets 70-67.
The Golden Eagles were led by
Lori Dando's 15 points with 13
points each by Gaffney and
Steinbugl.
The Indiana matchup would be
the last time for two of Clarion's
players to play at Tippin
Gymnasium.
The two players were Mona
Gaffney and Amy Migyanka.
The two did all they could to
leave the Clarion faithful with
one last victory.
The team was trying to get
revenge for losing to me Indians
back on January 20th by a score
of 75-62.
Clarion jumped out to a quick
four point lead on a Rachael
Steinbugl three-pointer, but saw
Indiana roar back to turn the tide
in their favor by eight points at
19-11.
The Indians controlled the
game for the next five minutes
until Steinbugl canned her third
and fourth three-pointers in the
half to push Clarion ahead 35-34.
The Golden Eagle lead reached
just three points before the Lady
Indians scored seven straight
points finishing with Theresa
Kabala hitting a trey making the
score 43-39.
Clarion held the lead and went
into halftime up 47-45. The
Indians came out of the half on
the warpath as they jumped to a
53-47 lead behind four Molly
Carr baskets.
Bobbi Schneider answered
right back for Clarion with two
treys from downtown to tie it up.
Dando continued the three-point
barage with one of her own to
give Clarion a lead they would
not relinquish.
The Golden Eagles saw their
biggest lead with 9:03 remaining
as Mona Gaffney drained a free
throw making me score 70-59.
Clarion continued to coast the
rest of the way as they let the
Indians get no closer than five.
The Lady Golden Eagles won
the game 90-77, but more impor-
tantly, the victory enabled
Gaffney and Migyanka to end
their final game in Tippin
Gymnasium victorious.
Gaffney led the Golden Eagles
with 26 points and 11 rebounds,
while Migyanka dished out five
assists along with being the key
floor leader in me win. Steinbugl
also chipped in with 21 points.
Clarion's current record stands
at 12-13 overall, 4-7 in the
PSAC.
The Golden Eagles still have a
slim chance to sneak into the
playoffs but they will need some
help from other teams.
Golden Eagle men continue downward slide
By Jason Dambach
Sports Writer
For all the struggles that the
Clarion men's basketball team
have gone through over the past
month, one thing was certain; A
win against IUP would erase the
memory of losing five of their
last six games and would
improve the Golden Eagles slim
playoff hopes.
On the other hand, IUP had
revenge on their minds after los-
ing to Clarion 92-90 in overtime
on January 20. The Indians
played an inspired game and
defeated the Golden Eagles 104-
92 last Saturday at Tippin
Gymnasium.
IUP (19-5, 7-3) shot a season-
high 62.5 percent from the field
and got super performances from
NEW YEAR
New Career
guard Derrick Freeman and cen-
ter Robert Misenko. Freeman hit
all 13 of his shot from the field
and finished the game with 27
points in just 18 minutes of
action, while Misenko scored 22
points and pulled down 16
rebounds. Misenko also became
IUP's all-time leading scorer
with 1,575 points on a frist half
free throw.
The Golden Eagles got off to a
solid start when Oronn Brown hit
a pair of three-pointers for his
first two shots to give Clarion an
early lead, but Freeman came out
on fire scoring 18 of his 27 points
in the first 9:52 of the game to
give me Indians a 24-19 lead.
After that point, IUP did not
look back. The Indians went on a
24-9 run over an eight minute
stretch late in the first half to put
the game out of reach. Jamie
Polak's free throws at the end of
the half cut IUP's halftime lead to
51-33.
Any hopes of a Clarion come-
back were dashed early in me
second half. IUP scored the first
14 points of the half and went on
a 26-8 spurt to take a 36-point
lead with 11:35 remaining in the
game.

However, as they have done all
season, the Golden Eagles did not
quit and came back to make the
final score respectable. Clarion
outscored IUP 32-12 in the final
six minutes of the game to make
the final score 104-92.
Gregg Frist paced Clarion with
18 points and six rebounds. His
performance coupled with a 19
point, 11 rebound performance
against Slippery Rock last
Wednesday earned him PSAC
West Rookie of the Week honors
for the fourth time this season.
Jamie Polak and John Doman
each chipped in with 16 points,
while Oronn Brown added 14
points to the losing cause.
With the loss to IUP, the Golden
Eagles (12-11, 4-7) had their
playoff hopes all but dashed,
while the Indians clinched a play-
off berth in the West with their
victory.
On Monday, the Golden Eagles
stepped outside of conference
and traveled to Latrobe to take on
the Bear Cats of St. Vincent
College, a team that they defeat-
ed 92-77 earlier this season.
However, Clarion could not
duplicate their earlier perfor-
mance and fell 88-86.
St. Vincent led throughout
much of the game and used solid
three-point and free throw shoot-
ing down the stretch en route to
the victory. The loss was the sev-
enth in eight games for the
Golden Eagles.

Laying it on the line
By Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
Just like a Meatloaf "Bat out of
Hell," Laying it on the line is
back once again.
•Goodbye and good riddance to
NeilO'Donnell.
I have stuck up for this goat one
too many times and what does he
do to repay my support? More
than likely he'll be a New York
Jet before you get a chance to
hear from me again.
I hope he is happy. It took him
his whole career to get comfort-
able with an offense, and once he
does, he leaves. Who knew?
I only wish the Steelers played
the Jets next season, but consid-
ering they were the worst team in
football, it's not going to happen.
I'm sure Mr. Lloyd and compa-
ny might have a few hits in store
for the traitor.
•How about Leon Searcy? This
guy goes from above average
offensive lineman to the highest
paid offensive lineman ever. I
don't know about you but this
doesn't make any sense to me.
Sure Leon is good, but is he
really worth 3.4 million dollars a
year? The Steelers didn't even
offer O'Donnell that much. The
free agent signings are getting
out of control.
Searcy is good, but he is not
great. This guy as even given a
five million dollar signing bonus.
Who knew?
•Once again in the great big
world of off-season free agent
signings, Steelers Director of
operations Tom Donahoe has
once again taken his usual sign
no one approach.
God forbid the Steelers would
ever pay someone what their
market value suggests. They'll
just go out and sign cheap, sec-
ond rate players.
Why not? Look how good the
Dean Biasucci and Rohn Stark
signings were last year. See ya
later Eric Green, we have no
money for you.
Donahoe was very lucky to
grab Norm Johnson from (he
realms of free agency. Donahoe
would have been ridiculed if
Biasucci was the Steelers open-
ing day kicker.
A couple of years ago the
Steelers were so cheap that a
mere $200,000 kept them from
signing Alvin Harper. That same
year, they balked at a few dollars
when they were pursuing Darryl
"Moose" Johnston of the
Cowboys.
Once again Donahoe got lucky
in the signing of John L.
Williams. However, Williams is
hurt more than Barry Foster and
that's why the Steelers will not
bring him back.
Plus, backup Tim Lester will
make considerably less than what
Williams made, and since the
Steelers pride themselves on
making money first, and team
success second, this should come
as a surprise to no one.

Morrison has teamed up with

this is the year that the Pittsburgh

who can get someone out would
also be nice. The signings of
Danny Darwin. Zane Smith, and

be a real bargain for the Pirates.
Don't count on it. If the Pirates
are going to get any breaks this

System Chancellor presents appropriations request
Courtesy of
SSHE Public Relations
The State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) has recently
presented an appropriations
request to the state Senate
Appropriations Committee. Due
to new economic realities, more
demands for increased
accountability, and the need to
provide the highest quality of
education at the lowest possible
cost, SSHE has needed to re-
examine its economic endeavors.
State System Chancellor James
H. McCormick told the Senate
Appropriations Committee, "The
System is in the midst of a new
planning initiative to formalize
our vision of becoming a more
inter-connected network of
learning-center universities. Our
universities are moving from an
emphasis on autonomy to one of
interdependency, exploring new
collaborative ventures,
promoting transformation
through technology, and
focusing on the student as the
primary customer."
Improvements in off-campus
housing arrangements being
negotiated by Borough Council
By Christy Sanzari
News Writer
The Clarion Borough Council
and several university officials
met on January 22 to discuss
improvements in off-campus
housing arrangements.
Traditionally, when students
were faced with rental problems
they have taken their concerns to
the Office of Residence Life.
These unsolved physical issues
are now receiving a better
response from the borough than
in the past. Recently, they have
hired a Housing
Zoning Officer to handle off-
campus rental complaints.
The zoning officer will be
more diligent in dealing with the
problems mat students are faced
with. The zoning officer will
hopefully be able to decrease the
number of absentee landlords
and will oversee the rentals to
make sure the landlords are
following regulations laid out by
the borough.
Usually, the university acts as a
mediator between students and
landlords. In the past, the
university has never inspected
the rental properties when a
student has filed a complaint.
However, die zoning officer will
be able to inspect properties on
an annual or semiannual basis.
The officer will be concerned
with safety issues such as two
exits, proper number of electrical
outlets, fire extinguishers, and
smoke alarms.
The Office of Residence Life
has designed a new booklet to
assist students in their off-
campus housing decisions. The
booklet will instruct students
how to search for housing and
the areas that a lease should
cover. It should include security
deposits, utilities, repairs, and
several other key points.
Barry Morris, the director of
Residence Life, strongly
recommends that students
carefully read the booklets
before deciding on a rental. He
also stressed the importance of
being concerned with safety
issues. "I wouldn't recommend
taking a place with never having
seen it," he added.
Morris was pleased with the
January meeting. Another
accomplishment of the meeting
was improved relations between
Clarion Borough and the
university.
To meet its budgetary
requirements for 1996-1997, the
State System is requesting an
educational and general
appropriation of $414.8 million.
The request would be an increase
of $17.9 million over the 1995-
1996 state appropriations of
$396.9 million, including $10.6
million the System is set to
receive from the state's Tutition
Challenge Program. The
System's request also includes a
modest increase of 4.5 percent in
tuition for the next academic
year.
The board's request includes a
reduction in expenditures of
nearly $8.9 million resulting
from the implementation of
management efficiencies.
" These dollars would be made
available for reallocation through
a combination of efforts,
including reducing human
resources costs; engaging in
cooperative procurements; and
increasing efficiencies with
further integration of technology
in the office, classroom, and
libraries," Dr. McCormick said.
The Board's request
incorporates an expenditure of
$7.5 million required for facility
and equipment modification in
order to comply with the
Americans with Disabilities Act
and the Clean Air Act for
replacement and retrofitting of
equipment containing
chlorofluorocarbons. A $10
million expenditure for debt
service to renew academic
facilities also is part of the
System's request.
Governor Tom Ridge has
proposed that the System receive
$396.9 million in state
appropriations for the 1996-1997
fiscal year, providing no increase
in state funding over the 1995-
1996 fiscal year. Governor Ridge
also proposed continuation of
several line item appropriations
received by the System last year.
The plan calls for the System to
receive $1.1 million for
affirmative action initiatives,
$321,000 for the recruitment and
retention of disadvantaged
students, and $200,000 for the
operation of the McKeever
Environmental Learning Center.
Dr. McCormick said, "Funding
at this level would produce an
instructional budgetary shortfall
of $16.3 million. Because of die
financial commitment that the
budget demands from the
universities, there is little
flexibility within the System to
absorb the shortfall resulting
from the Governor's budget."
For 1996-1997, the System
requested a special purpose
appropriation for new
technology and information
initiatives to expand and enhance
the State System's technological
capabilities. The System
requested a block grant of $8
million for three basic
components. The components
include distance learning and
outreach; information
infrastructure enhancement; and
the Keystone Library System.
The Governor's budget
proposed a technology program
which may bring limited
founding to the State System for
its technology efforts. The three-
year, $21 million plan for the
state-owned universities, state-
related universities, and the
community colleges is designed
to help improve technology of
the educational system by
forming the "Pennsylvania
Educational Network." This
program will provide funding for
"In the weeks to come, the
General Assembly will have a
crucial role in shaping the

OPINION
Editorial
Stephanie
Flick
Over break, my friend Heather
MacWilliams, who is a student at
Edinboro University, and I were talk-
ing about life. She asked me if I was
happy that I decided to go to college
at Clarion. At first, I was really
unsure of my answer.
I was born and raised in the small
town of Leeper which is about 10
miles from here. I attended North
Clarion High School— so yes, I am a
hoopie (or as close as you can get). I
used to spend my Friday and
Saturday nights cruising this town.
I had my heart set on going to
Robert Morris College in Pittsburgh.
Clarion was not my second choice —
as a matter of fact, it was not a
choice at all. It just was not cool to
go to school at Clarion. Everyone
was headed to the 'Boro, IUP, or
Penn State. The only reason I applied
to Clarion was because I was told I
had to have alternatives in case
Robert Morris did not pan out.
After I applied. I received a packet
from Clarion. It was big and thick so
I knew I got in. I was not excited, I
did not even open it up 1 just threw
it in a drawer and forgot about it.
Who cared? I was NOT going.
Exactly one week later. I got a
phone call from the admissions
office at Robert Morris. The woman
told me I had been accepted I was so
excited, I couldn't even sleep that
night. I told everyone that I was
going to Robert Morris.
However, it wasn't that easy. My
parents told me that I could not go to
Robert Morris because they could
not afford to send me to a private
school. Being strong headed as I am.
I decided that I was going to go any-
way, whether I had their help or not.
I was not as rich as I thought and
going to a private school without any
financial help was not really going to
happen.
As the Fall of '92 approached, I dug
out that packet I received and was on
my way to Clarion. I did not want to
be here and I sure as hell was not
going to like it. What did it have to
offer me? Nothing, I swore. I was
wrong, really wrong.
I moved into Nair Hall. From that
day on, I began to see Clarion in a
whole new light. I was thrown in
with all of these people I did not
know. They were from different
places, and different walks of life.
All of our individual personalities
had to mesh together for two semes-
ters of dorm life. I became a changed
person. I learned so much about peo-
ple. I realized bow special the world
is beyond Clarion even though I was
still here. It was amazing and scary
at the same time. We all bonded and
shared so much with each other that
year. Those girls from 6 South are
still my best friends ever.
Next — Autumn Leaf Festival. I
have gone to ALF since grade
school. Over the years, it became

The other day I was alone in my
apartment, watching television. I
sat channel-surfing absent-mind-

the telephone rang, so I pushed
the power button on our televi-
sion remote to turn the set off. I
answered the telephone and
abruptly ended my conversation
with the latest credit card solici-
tor. I wandered into the kitchen
and decided to get something to
eat. I looked in the refrigerator
and pulled out some leftover
sweet 'n sour chicken from din-
ner the previous night. I put it in
the microwave, and as I waited, I
walked over to the stereo in our
living room and popped in one of
my favorite compact discs.
Then, as it was playing, I won-

niences?" Think about it: when
was the last time you had to
physically get up from your chair
and change the channel on your
boob tube? (Times when you
couldn't figure out which cush-
ion the remote was under don't
count.) Or, when was the last
time you went to the record store
to actually buy a record? (You
know, those vinyl things...) I
remember buying a record single
of Billy Vera and the Beaters-the
song was "At this Moment" - I
was thirteen years old.
It seems that in the next
moment, or at least the next time
I went to the record store, there
were no more recordings of hit
singles to be found because they
were all on cassettes and compact
discs. Also, is there anybody out
there who cannot use a
microwave? I would guess not,
judging from the age of the
microwave we have at our apart-
ment. It has to be at least as old as
I am! So what, pray tell, is my
point hi all this?
My point is this: technology
surrounds us in many forms, but
we now take it for granted. This
technology serves one basic pur-
pose: to make our lives easier. If
this is true, why are so many peo-
ple shying away from the hottest
piece of technology in the 20th
century? Computers are not a
trend, people. I'm not saying you
need to run to the nearest com-
puter store and buy the latest sys-
tem. However, look at it this way:
you came to college to get an
education and gain an edge on
other candidates in the decreas-
ing job market, right?
What happens when you apply
for a job and get passed over
because you've never operated
Windows 3.11, and you ask if
that's a new technique for mea-
suring curtains? Do you spend
the money to go back to school to
learn the skills you should' ve
acquired the first time around?
The answer is "yes." Not know-
ing how to efficiently operate a
computer in the 21st century will
be similar to not knowing how to
use a telephone in the 20th centu-
ry. Let me clue you in on some-
thing: Are those graduates going
to hit the job market full speed?
You bet. Are you? The choice is
yours. But if you don't have a
clue what the latest technology is
because you can't figure out your
typewriter, or, if you haven't seen
the power of the Internet, then
you better get yourself going full
speed to Becker. ASAP. Don't be
the only one left wondering about
this amazing convenience.

a masonic symbol which has a

Students pay respects to Anthony Ramsey
Dear Editor:
I am writing this editorial for the
sole purpose of asking students to
realize how very important life is,
and it shouldn't be taken for granted.
We as people don't realize the
seriousness of life or the purpose for
it. Did it ever occur to you that we.
any of us, are only a heartbeat away
from death? We don't know when
our number is up, and for that reason
we should try to live everyday better
than yesterday.
As a senior at Clarion, I would
really like to see my December "96
graduation and my success as a
teacher become a reality. As we
come back to campus after a well-
deserved winter break. One of us
didn't have the luxury of returning
to Clarion. His life, Anthony
'Tone" Ramsey's life, was taken by
way of an automobile accident. It
makes me want to ask what
happened? The fact is someone
died. It very well could 've been you
or me. I remember in 1990, Ice
Cube's song "Dead Homiez" was
out: "Up early in the morning
dressed in black, don't ask
why— 'cause I'm down in a suit and
tie..."
That song meant so much to me
because of the frequent visits I was
making to funerals for services of
friends I grew up with. Grew up
with? I'm only twenty-one. I realize
we all have stories we can share, but
the truth is they're still gone and
may they all rest in peace.
I just wish we as young adults
would really start to think about how
quickly our life can be expired.
•'We're only one heartbeat away
from death."
Why were they called to death?
What saved my life in mat bar over
break? Why do I pray when I go to
sleep at night and when I wake up in
the morning? I want all of us to
remember why we are given another
chance everyday.
I want to believe it is to be a more
loving person, more intelligent than
yesterday, to make wiser decisions,
because Ice-Cube said, ". . you
never know when you' re gonna go
so I take everything slow- go with
the flow- shut my mutha-!@#&#
mouth if I don't know- because
that's what pops told me! But I wish
he could've said it to my dead
homie..."
Regretfully yours,

I always thought that you would be
here,
But I was wrong, for I try not to
shed a tear.
But I failed, because a friend I lost I

OT miss that wonderful friend of
mine.
I will never let your memory die,
I'll do anything, I swear I'll try.
I'll accomplish all that you wanted
to
I'll do it all, just for you.
I have lots of memories of "'Little
Ram,"
You were my boy. my homey, part of

Registrar Bills explains the degree audit process
Dear Editor:
I would like to respond to The
Clarion Call Sports Editor, Kraig
Koelsch's, February 22 'editorial
expressing disappointment over his
undergraduate diploma and the
length of time it took to receive it.
There are many facets of the
c mplex degree audit process — or
clearing students for graduation that
occur behind the scenes, too many to
mention, but I offer the following
comments to Kraig and the
university community to address his
concerns.
Clarion University of Pennsylvania
graduates over 1100 students
annually in five different terms.
There are over 75 different
undergraduate programs and 12
graduate programs with common
university-wide degree requirements
and unique college or program
specific requirements.
The university has purchased and
is in the process of implementing a
computerized degree audit software
package called On Course which
will enable degree audits to be
completed on line and in a batch
process. However, until On Course
is implemented, the degree audit
process continues to be a laborious
manual procedure.
The university is fortunate to have
a veteran employee with over 30
years experience to her credit.
There are individuals within each
department and college that are
knowledgeable about their
respective degree programs;
however, I'm confident in stating
that there is no other single person at
Clarion that possesses an extensive
knowledge of the graduation
requirements collectively for all
programs.
Each semester upon completion of
the grading process, every
candidate's academic record is
meticulously reviewed to verify
completion of all required course
work, minimum grade requirements
for major courses, upper division
courses, lower division courses,
cumulative qpa, calculation of major
qpa, lower division qpa, upper
division qpa, total credits, co-
curricular activities, transfer credits
and on and on and on.
Once the academic requirements
have been verified, the actual
diploma's are checked for accuracy to
make certain the graduates name is
spelled correctly and the degree listed
is correct and so on.
Another long-time dedicated
employee prepares the diploma's for
mailing. She checks the mailing
addresses students specified on the
applications for graduation, which is
quite often different from their
address of record, checks on financial
holds initiated by other departments,
includes a diploma cover and
commencement program for
graduates who did not attend
commencement, inserts the diploma
and a transcript request form in the
stay-flat mailer, labels and seals the
packet and forwards to the mail room
for postage.
She has been known to stay well
beyond 4:30 p.m. to work on mailing
diploma's because all of this activity
occurs at a particularly busy time in
the Office of the Registrar, (the end
of one semester and the beginning of
another when we are also doing grade
notification, check sheets,
registration, drop/add, processing
volumes of transcripts, etc).
In regard to the quality of Clarion's
diploma, it should be noted that
diploma's- are purchased from a
nationally recognized firm that
supplies diploma's for colleges and
universities throughout the country.
The text that appears on the
diploma originates from a 1989
directive from the Office of the
Chancellor of the State System of
Higher Education that instructed all
fourteen SSHE schools to include the
specific degree conferred on the
diploma but to exclude major, minor
and concentration all of which appear
on the student's official transcript.
In closing I would like to be able to
tell Kraig that the graduation fee will
be eliminated before he gets his
masters degree from Clarion, but
realistically I doubt that it will. I can
say that Clarion was among the last,
if not the last, of the state schools to
charge a graduation fee. Several
years ago the other schools were
surveyed and the graduation fees
were as high as $25 -30.
The funds generated from this
charge are used to pay for the
diploma, the diploma cover, the
mailer, the postage, the
commencement program as well as
other commencement related
expenses.
I hope this information provides
some insight into the degree audit
process and the distribution of
diplomas.
Sincerely,
J. Douglas Bills
Registrar
Disagreement with "open letter to the Clarion Commissioners"
Dear Editor,
I strongly concur with and support
the view expressed by the author of
the "Open letter to the Clarion
County Board of Commissioners."
A crucial concept is apparently
over-looked or not comprehended by
those who are against-or even
neutral to a separation of church and
state. The typical arguments of those
who are against this principle
include the conviction that their
belief system is the one and only
truth that exists, and that
additionally, they are in the majority
and so have the right to express
those beliefs in any forum. As to the
former, they have the right to believe
whatever they wish. But as to the
latter, over time, populations change.
It may seem an impossibility right
now, but at some time in the future,
the majority of Americans may not
be Christian. How many Christians
would feel comfortable at public
meetings which were introduced
with a Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, or
other non-'christian prayer?
Separation of church and state
means that all people are to be free
from the imposition of others'
beliefs in the public arena. While
this may not be of concern to some
at present, it may well be a different
matter in the not too-distant future.
Protecting the rights of others now
will protect all of our rights in times
to come.
A fair alternative to a specific
prayer is a "moment of silence," in
which all can pray or think about
whatever they choose.
Sincerely,
Rosemary Herman

Hundreds rally for mentally
retarded
Hundreds of people rallied at the Capitol, Tuesday to call
attention to the approximately 4,000 retarded adults on waiting
lists for group homes in Pennsylvania.
Gov. Tom Ridge, who addressed the rally, has proposed a 3.4
percent increase for services for the retarded in an otherwise lean
budget. "Your plight represents one of government's core
functions - helping those who are trying to help themselves,"
Ridge said.With the $51 million in additional money, the state
expects to expand some services, including the placement of an
additional 1,600 people in group homes.
Study: Turnpike commission
must change
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission needs better revenue
management and other changes if its wants to avoid financial
problems, a new study says. Released Tuesday, the $241,000-
study by Deloitte & Touche of Philadelphia found operating
expenses rising more than 5 percent a year while revenues have
grown just 2 to 3 percent since the last toll increase in 1992.
The commission could save $150 million a year over the next
five years if operating expenses are kept at the current level,
according to the 128-page study. Executive Director John Durbin
said the commission will seek to hold its $ 160.5 million operating
budget to the same amount next year.
Baby is attacked and killed by
family dog
A 3-week-old infant died of massive head injures after being
bitten in the head by the family dog. Dauphin County Coroner
Graham Hetrick said a single bite to the head caused Steven Lee
Myers' brain to swell. The newborn died of head trauma Saturday
night at Hershey Medical Center, a day after the attack.
The newborn was asleep in a carrying chair on the floor when
a husky named Lakota walked up to him and stirred him from his
sleep Friday night. The infant moved his arms and hit the dog in
the nose, prompting the dog to bite him. The infant's teen-age
mother, Christy Keim, and grandmother, Beverly Myers, were in
the kitchen a room away when the attack took place. His aunt, 10-
year-old Ashley Myers, was a few feet away watching cartoons.
U.S. says soldier raped, Czechs
say no
American military officials said Tuesday a U.S. soldier with
the NATO-led peace mission in Bosnia was raped, and they
suspected Czech peacekeepers. However, Czech officials insisted
the woman consented to have sex with two soldiers. The attack
was reported to have occurred in central Bosnia on Saturday. It
was the first reported rape complaint involving the NATO-led
mission.Czech military officials said the American had agreed to
the advances of two of their soldiers.

Weekly Political
Update
By Todd Eberty
Two weeks ago, Bob
Dole's presidential bid
seemed in serious peril
following a less than
convincing win in the Iowa
caucus and a damaging
second place finish in New
Hampshire. Four days later,
Dole lost the Delaware
primary to Steve Forbes.
Dole's string of losses was
partially offset by strong
wins in North and South
Dakota on February 27, but
even these victories were
bravery, dignity, and courage. He
also said that he wouldn't allow
homosexuals or lesbians in the
military and definitely not in the
presidential cabinet. He also
believed the Citadel Military
School, in Columbia, South
Carolina, should be reserved
exclusively for male cadets and
should not be open to female
cadets. Is he the best candidate
for president? Affirmative action
is a thing of the past when it's in
regards to the New World Order.
For all of those people who don't
believe in affirmative action,
there's no need to worry any
longer. Your wives won't be
given a fair chance, African-
Americans of both genders will
continue to be marginalized,
veterans of the United States will
truly become disabled, and that
doesn't include persons with
disabilities because they too will
be bed-ridden.
All other minorities will be
stopped at the border that is
protected by the 'electric fence.'
Remember, Affirmative action
wasn't only established to give
African-American's a chance at
becoming professionals. All of
the above groups of people are
assisted by Affirmative Action,
which is not always effective in
mediating our united workforce.
The only people who will be safe
are the "haves." The "have-nots"
will be damned, but, of course,
that's the plan of the "New
World Order."
•Sean McDonald is a senior
Secondary Education/English major
overshadowed by another
loss to Forbes in the Arizona
primary that same day. The
Dole campaign appeared to
be faltering, and many
analysts believed that its
future would depend greatly
upon Dole's performance in
the March 2 South Carolina
primary. Since this was the
first southern primary, Lamar
Alexander, Pat Buchanan and
Dole all considered a strong
showing essential. In the
end, Dole won a strong
victory.
According to exit polls,
Dole was able to consolidate
the mainstream vote and win
the support of a large number
of social conservatives.
This victory provided Dole
with a great deal of
momentum going into the
March 5 primaries.
Colorado, Georgia,
Maryland, Vermont, Rhode
Island, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, and Maine held
primaries and Idaho,
Washington, and Minnesota
held caucuses. Dole won all
of the primary contests and
has re-established himself as

the front runner.
The Dole sweep may have
pushed two contenders out of
the race, Indiana Senator
Richard Lugar and Lamar
Alexander are expected to
withdraw by the end of the
week.
Both men will probably
endorse Dole, but with over
two thirds of the delegates
yet to be won the race for the
nomination is far from over.
The next major contest will
be in New York on March 7
where ironically, only Dole,
Forbes and Buchanan are on
the ballot.

Clarion University student to be remembered in campus service
by Kim Tobias
News Writer
A car accident claimed the life
of a Clarion University student
over the recent break. Anthony
Ramsey, 19, was killed on
Sunday, February 26. The acci-
dent happened near his home-
town of Steelton, Pennsylvania.
He was a passenger in a 1996
Maxima, when the driver lost
control of the car at Exit 29 of
Interstate 83 in Lower Paxton
Township. The car rolled three
times and Ramsey was thrown
from the car.
Anthony Ramsey was born on
June 14, 1976 to Paul and Ethel
Ramsey. A love for sports and
weightlifting helped him become
a star running back at Central
Dauphin East High School in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He
was also on the honor roll in high
school and graduated from
Central Dauphin East in 1995.
He continued his education by
enrolling at Clarion. Ramsey was
a freshman business major and
was a resident of Ralston Hall.
He was also a potential running
back for the Golden Eagle foot-
ball team. Ramsey was outgoing,
well-liked, and participated in
several campus activities. "He
was involved in the men of color
think tank and excelled academi-
cally," said Gary Fallings, a close
friend of Ramsey's.
A memorial service is being
held on Thursday, March 7 at 4
p.m. in Hart Chapel. "It is an
interfaith service and friends will
have the opportunity to share
thoughts and memories of
Anthony," said Cheryl Miller of
United Campus Ministry. Pastor
"Jake" Jacobson of the Grace
Lutheran Church in Clarion;
Father Brian Vossler. the Catholic
campus minister: and Dr. Jerry
Belloit of Wesley Fellowship will
be officiating.
Spinal meningitis incidents reported at Bloomsburg,Calitornia
by Matt Geesey
News Editor
Two incidents of students with
spinal meningitis have been
reported at two different State
System of Higher Education
(SSHE) schools. This disease has
caused a death of a student at
Bloomsburg University and the
hospitalization of another student
at California University of
Pennsylvania.
Last Tuesday, a Bloomsburg
University student died of
meningococcal meningitis.
The student was Michael
Varano, a sophomore who
resided off-campus at 501 East
Third Street in Bloomsburg.
Varano, 19, is originally from
Southampton, PA and majored in
Mass Communications.
He was hospitalized at a local
Bloomsburg hospital on Monday.
According to Mr. James
Hollister, Director of Media
Relations at Bloomsburg
University, there haven't been
any other reported cases at the
university.
At California University of
Pennsylvania, a student who was
hospitalized last week is recover-
ing from bacterial meningitis.
The student was transported to
Jefferson Hospital late last week.
His condition steadily improved
and on Saturday he was released
from isolation.
Hospital officials expect he will
be released from the hospital
sometime this week. They expect
he will have a full recovery.
As a precaution, 15 other uni-
versity students, who were con-
sidered to be at high-risk, were
given the antibiotic rifampin.
There haven't been any other
cases of meningitis reported at
the university.
According to the Pennsylvania
Department of Health, meningo-
coccal meningitis is a relatively
rare disease that usually occurs as
a single isolated incident.
Meningitis is a serious disease
that affects mainly children and
young adults.
It is spread by close contact with
the nose or throat discharges of
an infected person.
Sharing a drinking glass or
toothbrush or even living in the
same household as the carrier for
an extended period off time can
place a person at risk.
The meningitis bacteria are not
transmitted by food handlers or
through food.
Some common symptoms of
meningococcal meningitis
include fever, severe headache,
stiff neck, nausea, vomiting,
rash, and lethargy.
These symptoms also resemble
the symptoms that are associated
with an upper respiratory infec-
tion.
New self-care clinic available
by Tom Evans
News Writer
The new self-care clinic, locat-
ed at the Keeling Health Center,
is finally reaching out to more
students mat are tired of waiting
for an appointment.
A new health care clinic has
been set up that allows students
to access a computer database
themselves.
This new system has been in a
prototype operation since the
middle of October, 1995.
W. Randy Rice, the new direc-
tor of the health center, is hoping
to "slowly and surely" expand
the self-care clinic this year.
A student can walk into the
health center and use the self-
care clinic without even having
an appointment.
A computer is set up that will
use vital statistics and prepro-
grammed symptoms to diagnose
the student's ailment.
The computer will then instruct
you to treat yourself or to see one
of the nurses at the health center.
Students can men be responsible
in treating themselves for a vari-
ety of maladies including cuts,
scrapes, sore throats, coughs,
colds, and more.
Thermometers, bandages,
tongue depressors, and other
cure-alls will be available at the
self-care clinic for the student's
convenience.
Even though the self-care cen-
ter will let the student be primar-
ily responsible for treatment, a
registered nurse must still sign
their diagnosis sheet that is print-
ed by the computer.
One of the new additions along
with the self-care clinic is the
availability of prescription med-
ication and over-the-counter
medication for students who
come to the health center and are
diagnosed with an illness.
The medication costs will be
billed to the students through the
use of student accounts.
The prices of drugs will be very
reasonable, but the distribution
will be closely monitored.
There will be no staff cuts as a
result of these changes.
Currently, the health center has
two physicians that practice
through Clarion Hospital.
The center also employs one
certified nurse practitioner and
several certified nurses.
Students are encouraged to call
the Keeling Health Center at 226-
2121 regarding any questions
concerning the self-care clinic or
any other health related issues.
Jeff Levkulich/ClarionCall
The self-care clinic at Keeling Health Center has been implemented to decrease the waiting
period for a student to get an appointment for the health center. A computer is available to
evaluate a student's symptoms and comes up with a printed diagnosis.

Clarion University Computer Services hires director
Courtesy of University
Relations
Computing services has
acquired a new director for its
computer needs. Karen DeMauro
has been hired to keep Clarion
University updated with the day-
to-day changes in the world of
computers.
DeMauro says.'Technology
will continue to outpace the
resources available on any col-
lege campus. We have to be cre-
ative in learning new technolo-
gies and getting the resources on
campus. It is impossible to keep
with everything that is new, but
with the help of the user commu-
nity we will do the best we can."
Computers are a second occu-
pation for the New Jersey native.
From 1970 to the mid-1980's,
DeMauro was a legal secretary.
She also worked in a savings and
loan bank as a mortgage closing
representative before deciding
she needed a new career.
She went on to earn an A.A.S.
University Relations
Karen DeMauro, new director of Computer Services
from Bergen Community College
and a B.A. from Dominican
College of Blauvelt, Orangeburg,
New York. In 1995, she earned
her M.B.A. from Manhattan
College. DeMauro's first job was
as the director of computer ser-
vices for Dominican College.
Two years later DeMauro
worked as a systems analyst at
Rockland Community College
and was later promoted to the
director position of the computer
and technology center for
Rockland Community College,
Suffem, New York. This is where
she has spent the past seven
years.
"I decide it was time for a
change," says DeMauro. "I
received my master's degree and
I wanted to put it to work. I saw
an advertisement for the position
at Clarion in the "Chronicle of
Higher Education" and applied. I
really liked Clarion. It is a com-
plete change for me, yet I am not
far away from my home area."
Clarion University is expecting
to experience many technological
changes in the near future.
The installation of the new
steam tunnels on campus will
allow for a more rapid installa-
tion of fiber optics to network the
campus.
A new library computer system
is also planned and computer
connections with the Venango
Campus in Oil City will be
improved.
DeMauro says,"I would like to
see computing services provided
enhanced support for all of the
new systems. The key is we have
to help the users to help them-
selves. This means making the
users more knowledgable which
will be an on-going project."
"We need the employees to get
more involved in the computing
and technology available and see
how they can use it better to
serve the students."
DeMauro wants to make sure
all the technology available is
open to the students attending
Clarion, pointing to campus net-
working as the key.
DeMauro, who is currently liv-
ing in Brookville has two chil-
dren, Tom who lives with his
wife and daughter in New Jersey
and Kristi, a sophomore at
Bloomsburg University of
Pennsylvania.
"I am really excited about
working here," she concluded. " I
have an excellent staff. I am very
impressed with the people I have
met here at Clarion."

according to a new study by hos-
pital researchers.
But whether their abilities are
impaired simply from lingering
effects of the drug or more seri-
ously from longer-lasting effects
on brain function still is not clear
to researchers.
Two groups of college students,
65 "heavy" users who smoke pot
daily and 64 "light" users who
smoke two days a month, volun-
teered to undergo a battery of
tests on their verbal abilities,
attention and memory.
Researchers monitored the stu-
dents for 24 hours before the
study began to assure that none
smoked the drug during the test-
ing period.
"The heavy users had more trou-
ble paying attention," said Dr.
Harrison G. Pope, chief of the
biological psychiatry laboratory
at McLean Hospital, whose study
recently appeared in the Journal
of the American Medical
Association.
The heavy users made signifi-
cant, repeated mistakes in card
sorting and showed reduced
learning of word lists, Pope said.
"It's not so much that their
memory was affected." he said.
"It's that they could not pay
attention to the material well
enough to register the informa-
tion in the first place so that it
could be repeated later."
The study, funded by the
National Institutes of Health,

Community leadership retreat held
by Susan Harry
Regional Vision
A joint retreat of the communi-
ty leadership programs, Regional
Vision, Leadership Erie, and
Leadership Butler County took
place on Friday, February 9 at the
Meadville Days Inn. Two of the
speakers at the retreat was the
mayor of Erie, Joyce Savocchio;
the mayor of Pittsburgh, Larry
Yatch; and the mayor of
Cleveland, Margot Copeland.
Mayor Savocchio spoke of her
vision of revitalizing the Erie
waterfront, downtown Erie, and
Erie's civic pride to her current
position as mayor. She believes
each day more and more of Erie's
citizens are following her leader-
ship.
Her leadership includes the abil-
ity to defeat negativism, to break
turf boundaries, and to build part-
nerships.
Mayor Copeland spoke of
Cleveland's rise to the status of
the "New American City" and
Mayor Yatch spoke of
Pittsburgh's recovery from the
"Pothole Capital of the World"
and its smoggy image of the
1970's.
Three themes surfaced repeat-
edly throughout these talks. The
themes are vision, leadership,
and community.
Regional Vision is open to any-
one living in Clarion, Venango,
Forest, Warren, Mercer, or
Crawford Counties. The classes
run from September through
May. They allow you to learn
what your leadership style is,
how you can use your talents for
the good of the community, and
how to have fun in the process.
Classes are held throughout the
six counties, so a person can get
to learn about their area firsthand.
If you are a Clarion University
student, the experience is also
worth three credits.For more
information, write to Regional
Vision, P.O. Box 1251, Oil City,
PA 16301 or call 814-677-6449.

Clarion University joins Project 30 Alliance for university faculty
Courtesy of University
Relations
Dr. Arnold Cooper, dean of the
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania College of
Education and Human Services,
has announced Clarion
University's recent membership
in Project 30 Alliance.
The Project 30 Alliance is the
only national organization that
brings together faculty in arts and
sciences with faculty in educa-
tion for the sole purpose of
improving teacher education. It
does this by providing a con-
structive intellectual agenda that
encourages a penetrating analysis
of the function of education of
prospective teachers at the col-
lege level.
In addition to Dr. Cooper, six
other Clarion University faculty
members will be actively partici-
pating in Project 30 on campus.
These people are Dr. Stanton
Green, dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences; Dr. Susan
Leone and Dr. Davie Tate Jr.
from the department of educa-
tion; Dr. Karen Bolinger and Dr.
John McLean from the mathe-
matics department; and Dr.
Gerald Thomas from the depart-
ment of geography.
"Focusing classroom discus-
sions on the phenomenon of lead-
ership will enable teacher candi-
dates in elementary, secondary,
and special education to find
their own common ground," says
Cooper. "The cultivation of lead-
ership profiles from cross-disci-
plinary contexts and orientations
can serve as a starting point for
serious conversations among
education majors and their pro-
fessors. Students will develop a
common language for articulat-
ing and communicating about
leadership roles. The creation of
leadership roles can also serve as
a starting point for an intensive
study of leadership by faculty
from the colleges of arts and sci-
ences and education."
The Project 30 Alliances is one
of the four major reform initia-
tives in teacher education and it
is the only one that focuses on the
interrelationship between arts
and sciences and education. It
started in 1989 through support
provided by the Carnegie
Corporation and the organiza-
tional support from AACTE'and
the Council of Colleges of Arts
and Sciences Deans.
Five themes were identified as
important to clarifying the intel-
lectual underpinnings of teacher
education and to develop more
fully the teaching profession. The
themes are subject matter under-
standing; pedagogical content
knowledge; general and liberal
education; increasing representa-
tion of under-represented groups
Marijuana article cont. from page 6
abstinence from the drug.
Despite these findings, the
question still remains as to what
exactly causes the impairment.
Scientists have yet to under-
stand if abilities are impaired
because of the drug's "hangover"
effect or as a result of "a more
ominous, neurotoxic effect on the
brain," Pope said.
"It is remarkable that marijuana
has been consumed for thousands
of years and studied for decades,
yet we still don't know the
answer to that fundamental ques-
tion," he added.
Deborah Yurgelun-Todd, direc-
tor of neuropsychology at
McLean Hospital co-conducted
the study and said more research
is needed.
"Only by further study of these
issues can it be judged whether
...impairment with marijuana
should be considered a public
health problem," she said.

conducted by Public Safety for the dates between February 23
and March 5. The Blotter is compiled by Clarion Call Public
Safety reporter Jason Weaver.
•A rape was reported to occurred in a residence hall on February 23. A
female called Public Safety to report that she had been raped. The
female said that she knew the actor and that they had been out togeth-
er. The incident is under investigation.
•On February 27, the university maintenance department reported an
argon gas cylinder tank missing from the McEntire Maintenance
Building.

•On March 4, there was a report filed from Wilkinson Hall that a
female student received harassing phone calls that were satanic in
nature. The incident is under investigation.
The emergency telephone along the sidewalk between Ralston Hall
and Chandler Dining Hall was activated by an unknown person at 9:40
a.m. on March 5. No persons were in the area upon arrival of police.
Public Safety officers are investigating an incident of criminal mis-
chief in the food vending area of Campbell Hall.

Sophomore Director
FOR COLORED GIRLS
WHO HAVE CONSIDERED
SUICIDE WHEN THE RAIN-
BOW IS ENUF is a choreopoem
that depicts the behaviors and
beliefs of Black women. "From
its inception in California in 1974
to its highly acclaimed critical
success at Joseph Papp's Public
Theatre and on Broadway, the
Obie Award-winning FOR
COLORED GIRLS WHO
HAVE CONSIDERED SUI-
CIDE WHEN THE RAIN-
BOW IS ENUF reveals what it is
like to be of color and female in
the twentieth century. It is a
unique dramatic prose poem
written in vivid and powerful lan-
guage that resonates with unusu-
al beauty in its fierce message to
the world. The choreopoem is a
dramatic elegy for black women
with an undefcurrent message for
everyone. Its theme is not sor-
row...but courage. Its strength is
its passion and its reality... An
unforgettable collage of one
woman's view... Wisdom and
naivete go hand in hand. Wounds
and dreams intermingle; strong
passions melt into simple
courage. It has the power to
move a body to tears, to rage, and
to an ultimate rush of love. The
play explores the realities of
seven different women. The
women are nameless and assume
hegemony as dictated by the full-
ness of their lives."
The purpose of this choreopo-
em is to contribute to the recog-
nition of our societies cultural
diversity and promote the equali-
ty of all cultural traditons.

Great tunes from traditional Irish to hardcore rock
by Aaron Davis and Tina
Matthis
Lifestyles Writers
Welcome back to Clarion
everyone. This week, I chose to
review the Chieftan's "Celtic
Harp" and Sarah McLachlan's
"Fumbling Towards Ecstacy."
Both are Irish musicians in a
more traditional sense than U2 or
the Cranberries.
The Chieftans are a band that
would be traditionally heard in a
good, old fashioned Irish pub.
They have been together now for
over thirty years, playing their
drinking and dancing music to
audiences everywhere. Their
"Celtic Harp" CD relies primari-
ly on instrumentals. Only on a
couple of songs do they sing in
their thick Irish accents. They use
flutes and other woodwind
instruments rather than electric
guitars and drums. Just listening
to them puts you in the mood to
dance.
Sarah McLachlan uses guitars
and percussion, only not in the
usual American style. She takes
these instruments and still pro-
duces a strong Irish sound. She
has an incredible voice that can
make listeners become leary-
eyed on her sad songs. Her other
songs are as romantic as any I've
ever heard. Occasionaly she will
play a song with a more upbeat
tempo, but I think she realizes
that this is not her strength,
although they are also good.
This past summer, I had the
opportunity to see the Chieftans
and Sarah McLachlan perform.
Sarah McLachlan was almost
surreal on stage. The Chieftans
had the whole place dancing and
having a great time. They put on
the most festive concert 1 have
ever seen. The two acts per-
formed a couple of songs togeth-
er during the Chieftans' set. and
that was also incredible.
Hello! I'm Tina and I'll be
sharing this column with Aaron.
This week, I'm reviewing the
Deftones' debut album,
"Adreniline," released late last
fall on the Maverick label.
Deftones are a band that mixes
different types of music that can
only be described as a fine mix-
ture of Faith No More, Korn, and
a litde bit of industrial music.
Vocalist Chino Moreno often
sounds like Zack De La Rocha,
Jeff Levkulich/Clarion Call
Davis and Matthis team up to tackle music reviews.
vocalist for Rage Against the
Machine, and at other times, he
just wails about trials and tribula-
tions of life in general. In most
of their songs, Deftones use an
industrial-like effect on the
microphone, making Moreno's
screams sound even crunchier
and more disturbing. Their hard-
core influences show through
more often than not on
"Adreniline," and almost every
song on the album could be a
favorite for any fan of the hard-
core scene. My only problem
with the band is that many of
their songs are similar in sound
and rhythm, but on would find
this to be true of any band today,
it seems.
Of all the songs on the album,
"7 words" and "Fireal" would
have to be my picks. There is
also a hidden track on the album,
which is one of my favorites as
well, but it has no title, so I can't
name it. The hidden track is
melodic at times, and hard at oth-
ers. Moreno's wailing vocals
could make one's hair stand on
end, they are so chilling. This
song is very reminiscient of
Sunny Day Real Estate, and if
you don't know who they are,
keep posted because their latest
and last album will be my pick
next issue.
"7 Words" is towards the
middle of the album and, in my
opinion, is the best song on
"Adreniline." Although this song
could win the award for most
usage of the big ole "F' word, it
fomes off as it is meant to be,
extreme rage. This is definitely
the hardest song on the album,
and comes off sounding very
much like Rage Against the
Machine.
"Fireal" is a lot like the hid-
den track, very melodic and
showing that this hardcore band
has more talent mat just beating
on their instruments. Again,
Moreno's lyrics are tormenting
and chaotic, which keeps me
from understanding exactly what
point he's trying to get across.
But I suppose that's what the
lyrics are meant to do, since
everything else about the band is
also insane.
I'd definitely recommend the
Deftones' "Adreniline" for any
fan of hardcore or anybody want-
ing to hear a different sound than
they're used to.

News of the Weird by Chuck Shepard
LEAD STORY
Postal worker Douglas C. Yee,
50, was indicted in February in
San Mateo, Calif., for pulling off
bulk-mail scams totaling
$800,000. Found in Yee's'
garbage were notes he had writ-
ten to God expressing gratitude
for his continued help in evading
police detection. Read one,
"Lord, I am having a difficult
time myself seeing you as a God
who hides crime, yet your Word
says that it's your privilege (or
glory) to do just that."
THE CONTINUING CRISIS
•In September, the founders of
the Norway Losers Rights Union
met with King Harald to explain
the organization's agenda of
offering support for those
Norwegians who feel doomed to
failure. Since its inception in
1993, the Union has attracted 728
active members and another
7,000 sympathizer-losers (out of
a population of 4.3 million)
•Restaurant Grease in the
News: In January, after an
$85,000 study, officials in
Corpus Christi, Texas, attributed
a lingering, foul, downtown odor
to years of accumulations of
grease from 35 nearby restau-
rants. And in December, thieves
stole 8,000 pounds of grease
from eight Jonesboro, Ark.,
restaurants, probably for resale in
pet food and livestock feed.
•In November, workers at
China's Bayanghe coalfield in
Xinjiang region extinguished a
fire that had been burning over a
5-square-kilometer area for an
estimated 100 years. About
300,000 tons of coal a year was
consumed by the fire, and author-
ities estimate 55 million tons
remain.
•In a December medical jour-
nal, University of New
Hampshire researchers found that
one adolescent boy in 10 has
been kicked in the testicles by
another kid, 40 percent
of the time by girls. Boys who
wear glasses or have other -phys-
ical limitations are three times
more likely to be kicked, and a
year after the kicking, one-fourth
of the victims still suffered
depression from the incident.

•An investigative piece in the
weekly Moscow News in
November listed then current
rates paid to hit men in the grow-
ing contract-murder industry in
Russia. An average citizen with-
out a bodyguard could be killed
for about $7,000, while celebri-
ties and politicians could get
prices ranging up to the $180,000
for President Yeltsin. The leading
killers guarantee about a 96 per-
cent probability of success.
•Following the November
defeat of President Lech Walesa,
the Polish Federation for Women
and Family Planning predicted
many of the organization's sup-
porters would end their "sex
strike." Some women had been
refusing to have sex for years to
protest the combination of
Walesa's strict anti-abortion
stand and the unavailability of
contraceptives.
•The Associated Press reported
in September that the most popu-
lar publishing genre of the
moment in Japan — so huge that
whole sections of bookstores
were being given over to it —
was World War II novels in
which Japan wins. In one of the
most popular, war-crime tri-
bunals against U.S. officers and
politicians must be held on the
commandeered Queen Elizabeth
ocean liner because no large
buildings remained standing in
Japan.
•Last year a Wood County,
Wis., court ruled that the state's
parental responsibility law
required that the parents of a 15-
year-old boy would have to pay
only the statutory maximum,
$2,500, to a 10-year-old girl with
whom the boy had consensual,
but illegal, sexual intercourse.
However, in December, an
appeals court ruled that the law
requires the parents to pay $2,500
for each of the 20 encounters the
two kids had.
•In June in the county jail in
lola, Kan., Richard Barber, 51,
tried unsuccessfully to kill him-
self by wrapping hoarded dental
floss around his neck and jump-
ing off a ledge, but that left him
only with a deep cut on his neck.
Barber had just pleaded guilty to
killing a dentist.

Beware of toilet terrorism by Dave Barry
I hate to put a fly in your oint-
ment, but if you think that jusl
because you live in America, you
are safe from the terror of terror-
ism, then I have three words for
you: ha ha ha.
I make this statement in light of
a terrifying incident that occurred
on Christmas Eve, according to
an article from the Newport
(Ore.) News-Times, written by
Gail Kimberling and sent in by
alert reader Deane Bristow,
whose names can be rearranged
to spell Sewer Bandito, '
although that is not my central
point.
My central point is that, accord-
ing to this story, a husband and
wife were in their home outside
of Lincoln City, which is in
Oregon, when the United Parcel
Service delivered a package to
their house. They were not
expecting a package, and there-
fore they became convinced
(why not?) that it was a bomb.
So, according to the story, the
woman put the package in her
car, drove the package to the
Oregon coast, which is also in
Oregon, and 'heaved it over the
cliff onto the beach.
The woman then drove to the
police station and reported that
there was a bomb on the beach.
So far, you are probably laugh-
ing. But you will change your
tune when you learn what the
investigating police officer
found. What he found, lying on
the beach, was a box containing
— bear in mind that this hap-
pened in the United States of
America, not some foreign coun-
try such as the Middle East — a
15-pound Virginia smoked ham.
Miraculously, the ham had not
detonated, so the officer returned
it to the couple, who, according
to the article, "very reluctantly
opened thier front door and
accepted it. " So luckily this
story had a happy ending. But
that is no reason for us to break
out the celebratory bean dip.
Because although in this particu-
lar case the package turned out to
be an innocent ham, it COULD
have been something infinitely
more dangerous: It could have
been a toilet. Here I am thinking
of a story, sent in by many alert
readers, from the Dec. 29 New
York Times, headlined: "LAW-
SUIT FILED FOR 2 INJURIES
FROM TOILETS." This story, as
the headline suggests, concerns a
lawsuit filed for two injuries
from toilets. These toilets, locat-
ed in a Bronx condominium,
allegedly exploded when they
were flushed; the lawyer for the
victims is quoted as saying that
there is an epidemic of explod-
ing toilets.
Not that I am bitter, but I've
been writing about the explod-
ing-toilet epidemic for years, not
to mention the exploding-cow
epidemic, the Strawberry Pop
Tart-combustion epidemic and
the Rollerblade Barbie under-
pants-ignition epidemic, and
have I received any recognition
in the form of a large cash jour-
nalism award? No, I have been
called "sophomoric" and "child-
ish" by various doodyhead crit-
ics. But now that the famous New
York Times has decided to horn
in on this story, I suppose it will
become "respectable." You're
probably going to see presiden-
tial-campaign debates wherein all
the leading contenders take posi-
tions on commodes. Let's just
hope that this is not televised.
But be forewarned: If you are at
home and United Parcel Service
brings you a toilet that you are
not expecting — even one of
those nice designer-catalog toi-
lets that have become such popu-
lar holiday gifts — do NOT
attempt to flush it. Instead, take
the simple precaution recom-
mended by law enforcement
authorities such as the FBI and
Mel Gibson: Drive the toilet to
the Oregon coast and heave it off
a cliff. Better safe than sorry!
Of course, just because you, as
an American, could at any
moment be killed by a toilet or
ham, that does not mean that all
explosions are bad. As the French
say, "au contraire" (literally, "eat
my Jockey brand undershorts") .
Sometimes, the explosive power
of an explosion can be harnessed
to benefit humanity, as we learn
from various newspaper articles,
sent in by many alert readers,
concerning the effort last October
to move the World War I monu-
ment in the city of Laporte,
Ind.The monument, a massive
piece of granite more than six
feet tall, was in a secluded, over-
grown location. It was scheduled
to be moved to a more prominent
place in time for Veterans Day,
but efforts to dislodge it from its
base with drills and jackhammers
had failed. What happened next
is not entirely clear, but apparent-
ly an unidentified local law-
enforcement official contacted an
Army Reserve group, which pro-
vided some unidentified explo-
sives experts, who used some
kind of unidentified explosives to
separate the monument from the
base. This operation went off
without a hitch.
Well, OK, if you want to be
picky, there was one leensy hitch,
which was that alter the explo-
sion, the monument no longer, in
a technical sense, existed. But it
definitely was not attached to the
base anymore. Mission accom-
plished!
This story does raise several
How come we never asked
them to "move" Saddam
Hussein's headquarters?
But that is water over the dam.
The point I want to make, in clos-
ing, is that just because things are
blowing up all around us in this
country, that is no reason for us to
cower like rabbits under our
beds. We are just as safe in our
closets. As Winston Churchill
(whose name can be rearranged
to speU "Hurls Cow Chin Lint")
pur it: "We have nothing to fear
but fear itself." Of course, he
was safely over in England at the
time.
"Beyond Shadowlands" performed at Clarion
Courtesy of University
Relations
"Beyond Shadowlands," a play
written and directed by Ann
Timmons was performed on
Wednesday.
The one hour and 15 minute
performance was followed by a
post performance discussion.
"Beyond Shadowlands" takes
place from 1956-63 in Oxford,
England, and focuses on C.S.
Lewis played by Jay Hillmer and
Joy Davidman played by Marilyn
Hausfeld. Timmons based 80 to
90 percent of the dialogue in the
play on the writings of these
authors.
Lewis, an Oxford and
Cambridge scholar, BBC
wartime radio personality.
Christian apologist, and writer of
laniasy and satire for adults and
children is perhaps best known
for his "The Lion, the Witch, and
the Wardrobe."
Davidman is known today for
beguiling Lewis into proposing
marriage, but was a very success-
ful poet. Despite an atheistic
upbringing, she experienced
mystical visions from an early
age. After a time as a Communist
Party editor and critic, she
embraced Christianity. She
entered Hunter College at 15 and
was a successfully published poet
by 23. Her novel "Anya" is per-
haps her most famous work.
Lewis and Davidman corre-
sponded by overseas mail before
a meeting that led to marriage.
"Beyond Shadowlands" exam-
ines this "marriage of true
minds."
Marilyn Hausfeld has per-
formed at many theaters in the
Washington, D.C., metropolitan
area in roles ranging from an
alcoholic nymphomaniac in Neil
Simon's "The Gingerbread
Lady" to the rigid nurse in
Terrence McNally's "Next to
God."
Jay Hillmer received the
McCormick-Goodhart Award for
Best Performance in a Play dur-
ing the 1993-94 season for por-
traying Lewis in the William
Nicholson play "Shadowlands."
His other roles include Henry II
in James Goldman's "The Lion in
Winter." Timmons has written a
number of plays for solo perfor-
mance including "Shaw's
Women," and "Off the Wall: The
Life and Works of Charlotte
Perkins Gilman."

Greek Women hit nations canital
Ay Jennifer Founds
Copy and Design Editor
On February 22-25, four Greek
women from Clarion University
along with Panhellenic advisor
Diana Anderson traveled to
Washington D.C. for the 1996
North Eastern
Panne lie nic/Inler fraternity
Council Conference.
The conference involved a
series of workshops, a day of ses-
sions held at the Capitol, and a
final awards program.
The four who attended the con-
ference were; President of
Panhel, Liz Dorner; Vice
President of Committees, Holly
Eisenman; Vice President of
Rush, Carrie Baranyk and
Chairperson of Social Growth
and Development, Amy Salusky.
Two prominent women who
spoke at the conference were
Attomy General, Janet Reno and
Former Surgeon General, Dr.
Antonia Coello Novello.
Janet Reno spoke at the final
awards presentation about what
an inspiration her mother was.
Being a single mother with chil-
dren to raise, she took it upon
herself to literally build her own
house, which ended up surviving
Hurricaine Agnus, while other
houses around were demolished.
After attending the final pro-
gram at which Reno spoke, Holly
Eisenman stated,"I enjoyed the
speech by Janet Reno, it was a
very inspirational and she was
humorous. "
The basic message of the
speech was, Tf you're going to
do things, do them right the first
time'." Eisenman also attended
a session on WOMEN IN
CAREERS, at which one of the
three speakers was Heather
Marabetti, Aid to Vice President
Al Gore.
Eisenman stated the session
was about. "All the women who
spoke were Greek, and how their
leadership roles through the
Greek system helped mem get
the jobs they have today."
Other sessions available at the
conference were: Team Building.
Public Relations, Goal Setting.
Empowering Women, Self-
Defense. Panhellenic
Roundlable's. Hazing and Sexual
Harrassment .
On Saturday February 24,
Panhellenic advisor Diana
Anderson led a workshop entitled
PANHELLENIC PRESIDENTS
WITH 2-7 CHAPTERS, where
she discussed Robert's Rules of
Order and Meeting Management.
Most of the sessions were held,
and the people who attended the
conference stayed at the
Raddison Hotel outside of
Washington, D.C. in Alexandria,
Virginia. One day of sessions
was held in D.C. at the Capitol,
where students had a choice of
one out of five sessions to attend.
One session that filled up fast
was a tour of the Holocaust
Museum.
People who attended were from
everywhere in the North Eastern
part of the United States who
attended both public and private
schools.
President of Panhel, Liz Dorner
stated, "The conference was a
good learning experience, and
the four of us who attended will
be able to better incorporate what
we learned into the next year
Greek men and women who attend the 1996 NorthEast Panrwllenic/lnterfraternity Council
Conference. Pictured from left to right are: (Front) Panhellenic advisor, Diana Anderson,
Holly Eisenman, Carrie Baranyk, Amy Salusky, Liz Dorner. (Back) Joseph Lemley, Pete
Talento, and IFC advisor, John Postlewait. Missing from picture are; Justin Gvoth and

A Greek Mans Views on the recent IFC/Panhel Conference:
Learning Experience in D.C.
by Joe Lemley
Greek Writer
The North East Interfraternity
and Panhellenic Council
Conference held during the dates
of February 22-25 sent eight
Clarion University Greeks along
with the IFC and Panhel advisors
to Washington D.C.
We arrived Thursday to a dark,
yet very alive Radisson Hotel in
Alexandria, VA.
Friday started early with a con-
tinental breakfast and a general
session at 8:30a.m. At this ses-
sion we heard several speakers
discuss how to better run IFC and
Panhel groups. Those who spoke
were; Dr. Susan Murphy, Vice
President of Cornell University;
Dr. Willian Kirwin, Preisdent of
the University of Maryland,
College Park; Ms. Birta Allen,
Program Director of NPHC; Ms.
Jean Scott, Chairperson of NPC;
Mr. Jeff Cufande, Executive
Director of NIC and Ms. Terry
Zacker, Moderator.
All had comments that "hit
home". They inspired myself to
return to Clarion and seek better
relations between our IFC,
Greeks, Greeks and non-Greeks,
and between Greeks and the
Faculty/Administration.
At the end of the General
Session, we (Officers of IFC and
Advisors) split up and went to
separate sessions from
10:00a.m.-6:30p.m.
Some of these sessions includ-
ed: Why are we Greek,
Leadership and Vision: a Rx for
Greek Excellence, Expansion, In
the Line of Fire, and Fraternity
Rush Recruitment and others.
Friday night came and we
found time to visit with fellow
brothers from other schools. We
were able to discuss differences
and similaraties between our
same affiliations on different
campuses.
Saturday came with an early
continental breakfast at 8:00a.m.
and another general session at
9:00a.m. which was followed by
more educational sessions such
as; The Magical Mystery of
Motivation, Communication and
Interpersonal skills,
IFC/Panhellenic Synergy and
more.
Saturday evening we heard a
tremendous speech from Janet
Reno, which was very motivating
for any young adult or student.
Many more were attended and
a great deal of business was cov-
ered, but what took three days to
cover will supercede a few para-
graphs.
On Sunday we returned to a
beautiful day in Clarion and a
well deserved break.

Golden Eagles look to three-peat at EWL's
By Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
Qualifying for nationals, and
salvaging a very stressful season
will be on the Golden Eagle
wrestling teams mind this week-
end as they travel to Bloomsburg
for the EWL Championships.
Clarion has suffered tough
breaks all season and it got worse
when they traveled to Penn State
two weeks ago. Clarion was
trailing Penn State 4-3 going into
Chris Marshall's 134 pound
match. Marshall got caught and
the result was a Nittany Lion pin.
The Golden Eagles battled back
but fell to the Nittany Lions 22-
19. However, the next day,
Clarion regrouped and defeated
Virginia 20-18 in a very exciting,
but sloppy match. Clarion did
close the season with a win over
Bloomsburg 27-7, and thus their
overall season record stands at 5-
6-2 with their EWL record rest-
ing at 3-1-2.
Clarion has won EWL's the past
two years and look to make it a
three-peat this year. The pre-
tourney favorite will be Lock
Haven, with West Virginia and
Clarion hot on their trail. Lock
Haven, under head coach Carl
Poff, finished the season ranked
6th in NCAA Division I with an
overall record of 17-1 and an
EWL record of 6-0.
The Bald Eagles defeated
Gary Williams/Clarion Call
Clarion fought hard, but the Nittany Lions escaped.
WVU (20-17) and Clarion (20-
16) in dual meet action. West
Virginia, led by head coach Craig
Turnbull, posted a season record
of 7-5-1 and an EWL mark of 4-
1-1.
"Lock Haven should be the pre-
tournament favorite," stated
Golden Eagle head coach Jack
Davis. "They won the EWL reg-
ular season title and have the bal-
anced scoring needed to win this
tournament. I think Clarion and
West Virginia could challenge,
but as far as we're concerned,
we'll have to wresUe a perfect
tournament to win. Our goal is
simple. We want to qualify as
many wrestlers to the national
tournament as possible."
This years EWL action should
be very competitive in many of
the weight classes as many
nationally ranked wrestlers will
be competing. Many of the grap-
plers will be wrestling for them-
selves as EWL placing enables
them to make the big trip to
nationals.
Clarion's lineup will likely
have Sheldon Thomas (Jr.
Newark, De. 24-4) at 118; Bob
Crawford (So. Milton, PA 13-5)
at 126; Chris Marshall (Fr.
Aspers, PA 27-8) at 134; Stan
Spoor (Fr. Newark, De. 6-15) at

Swim teams capture PSAC Championships
By Ben Keen
Assistant Sports Editor
The Clarion University men's
and women's swimming teams
both captured tides at the
1996 PSAC Swimming
Championships held in Edinboro
on Feb. 22-24. This marks the
twenty first championsip in a row
for the womens team and the
twenty second in the past twenty
six years for the mens team.
The women swimmers defeated
nearest competitor Indiana by 93
points behind strong perfor-
mances from juniors Lauri Rat ica
and Sharon Conley and freshman
standout Christina Tillotson.
Ratica won the 50 free and the
100 butterfly. Conley won the
1650 free and the 500 free and
Tillotson helped out by winning
the 200 IM, 400IM, and the 100
breast. The womens team also
took first place in the 200 and
400 relay-medley and the 400
and 800 relay-free.
The mens team was led by
sophmores Andy Smearman and
Eric Fringer in route to a 101
point victory over second
place finisher Shippensburg.
Smearman finished first in the
200 breast and the 200 IM while
Fringer won the 100 and 200
free.
A solid all-around performance
from the rest of the team and a
victory in the 400 relay-medley
sealed up the win for the Golden
Eagle swimmers.
The Golden Eagle swimmers
will now turn their attention to
the NCAA Div. II National
Swimming Championships on
March 13-16.
The womens team is sending
defending 100 butterfly national
champion Lauri Ratica along
with Christina Tollotson, Kelly
Gould, Stephanie Wigfield,
Regan Rickert, Dawn Bowser,
and diver Tammy Quinn. The
mens team will be represented by
Jeff Reed and Andy Smearman
along with divers Ken Bedford,
Andrew Ferguson, and Brian
Ginocchetti. Diving Coach
David Hrovat said, "We are look-
ing for both teams to place in the
lop five nationally but with the
mens team only sending two
swimmers we would be happy to
break the top ten."

Bits and pieces of selected sports
The return of the Penalty Box
By Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
Welcome back to the Penally
Box. After serving my own two
minute minor for slashing of the
verbal nature, let's get back out
on the "printed ice."
■ NEIL'S "CHALLENGE" The
Steelers history in the free agent
market didn't change with
quaterback Neil O'Donnell's
leaving last week. The Steelers
lose free agent candidates like the
flu makes you lose body fluids. I
know Pittsburgh is a small mar-
ket team, but how many small
markets have sold out their stadi-
um year in, year out, for about 20
years like Pittsburgh has? The
Steelers had the money to get
O'Donnell, but once again the
Rooney stubbomess kicked in.
Out of a large pool of free agent
quarterbacks to sign, don't you
think Neil was the best one?
Especially since he was Rooney's
quarterback anyway? The old
saying is "if it's not broke, don't
fix it." The Steelers weren't
broke, but their lack of gratutive-
ness might just fix them a lesser
QB.
O'Donnell called getting the
Jets into AFC contention a "chal-
lenge." Try calling it "mission
imposible."
'FINALLY Speaking of another
drawn out move, congrats to the
St. Louis Blues for getting
Gretzky. He's paid dividends al-
ready for them, and if Grant Fuhr
can stay on a roll, the Blues could
be a threat to the Red Wings in
the playoffs.
.TWO'S BETTER THAN
QBE Speaking of the NHL play-
offs, one of the many keys to a
successful run is the emergence
of two quality goaltenders.
Having a strong backup is essen-
tial to staying alive. If you look
at the best teams right now, all
have good backups either in
action right now, or waiting in
reserve. The Red Wings have
Chris Osgood and Mike Vernon.
The Rangers have backup Glenn
Healy in now with regular Mike
Richter healing his groin area for
the playoffs. The Penguins also
have two veteran net-minders in
Wreggett and the much maligned
Tom Barrasso. I know Barrasso
has had his share of moments that
have put him in the Pen's fans
doghouse, but I would much
rather have him backing up
Wregget than an inexperienced
rookie.
»BURNS GETS "BURNED"
Toronto Maple Leafs let coach
Pat burns go earlier this week in
an obvious case of players firing
the coach. The Leafs have under-
achieved all year and Burns, a
proven winner, was made the
scapegoat. When you can't fire
the players, you fire the coach.
' BEST TIME OF YEAR These
are happy days for the Penalty
Box. My favorite sporting
event, the NCAA tourney, is
upon us. There are so many
dominant teams that it makes the
field one of the most wide open
tournaments in recent memory.
Kentucky stands out as "every-
ones favorite", but their tourney
history makes them cautious
favorite at best.
UMass is a strong candidate
also, but how many close games
can they play before one goes in
the other teams favor?
I have been formulating my
final four predictions and they
will appear in next week edition
of the Call.
'IRO NI C F I NIS H Charles
Barkley a couple of weeks back
went over the 10,000 rebound
mark.
How ironic was it that it was off
his own miss, a shot he left short
from approximately two feet?

Famous U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet
During the non-snow off season the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team
members used the "Ski Team" diet to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. That's
right - 20 pounds in 14 days! The basis of the diet is chemical food
action and was devised by a famous Colorado physician especially for
the U.S. Ski Team. Normal energy is maintained (very important!) while
reducing. You keep "full" - no starvation - because the diet is designed
that way. It's a diet that is easy to follow whether you work, travel or stay
at home.
This is, honestly, a fantastically successful diet. If it weren't, the U.S.
Women's Alpine Ski Team wouldn't be permitted to use it! Right? So,
give yourself the same break the U.S. Ski Team gets. Lose weight the
scientific, proven way. Even if you've tried all the other diets, you owe it to
yourself to try the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet. That is, if you
really do want to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. Order today! Tear this out
as a reminder.
Send only $8.95 (59.60 in Calif.)-add .50 cents RUSH service to:
American Institute, 7343 El Camino Real, Suite 206, Atascadero, CA
93422. Don't order unless you expect to lose 20 pounds in two weeks!

March 7, 1996
Pirates look to improve in 1996 campaign
By Bill Sinclair
Sports Writer
The Pirates of 1996 look to
improve on the dismal season
they suffered last summer; but of
course that should be every
team's goal. However the
Buccos of '96 seemingly did
improve themselves; if you look
at them on paper.
For starters, the Bucs are under
new management with millionare
Kevin McClatchy. He has sworn
to keep the Pirates in Pittsburgh,
and improve them in all facets of
the organization. He seems com-
mited to the organization and the
city. McClatchy is the number
one reason the Bucs of '96 are
going to improve. The acquisa-
tion of free agents is another rea-
son the Pirates are going to have
an auspicious 1996. Third base-
man Charlie Hayes provides a
solid bat, along with excellent
defensive skills. Hayes,
acquired from the Philadelphia
Phillies, should bat behind first
baseman Jeff King in the fifth
hole, followed by Al Martin in
the sixth spot. Hayes has the
potential to smack 20-25 ding-
dongs, and accumulate near a
hundred RBI's. If Hayes can
even come close to matching his
1993 numbers (.305, 25 HR's, 98
RBI's and a league leading 45
two baggers ) the Bucs are in for
a real treat.
Centerfielder Mike Kingery, a
defensive pick-up more than
offensive, will roam center field
this summer in Three Rivers
Stadium. Kingery, who last sum-
mer played in hitter friendly
Coor's Field, had a caerer high
10 deep shots in limited playing
time. Kingery hit .349 in 1994,
in a replacement role for injured
Rockie outfielder Ellis Burks.
Kingery steps in to strengthen the
major league's worst defensive
outfield, and to provide some
speed in a possible lead-off spot.
Kingery, or second baseman
Carlos Garcia, will occupy the
lead-off spot in Jim Leyland's
ball club this season, the other
will likely bat seventh in the
order, behind Martin.
The emergence of young catch-
er Jason Kendall has people in
the Bucs organization extremely
excited. He has a solid stick and
rarely whiffs, albeit , he can't go
long ball and lacks defensive
skills. Kendall, who turns 22 in
June, makes the jump from AA
Carolina where he batted over
.300 and turned the heads of
many scouts. Leyland, who
experimented with a lot of
youngsters last year, is willing to
do it again this year with this ris-
ing young star.
With the acquisation of Hayes,
the Pirates can boast one of the
most solid defensive infields in
baseball. Jeff King will make the
transition from third base to first
base. King, who hit a caerer high
18 dingers last year, will likely
bat clean-up this season where he
batted frequently, last season.
King is 31 years old, and is in his
prime, this is the season that King
must silence his skeptics; they've
been following him for years.
At second base the Pirates have
Garcia, who seems to improve
every year. He struggled at the
start of last season, but turned a
dismal start into a fine season.
An All-Star in 1994, Garcia is
only going to improve in the
years to come. Shortstop Jay
Bell proves year in and year out
he is in the upper echelons of
major league shortstops. Bell
shows that he has power in his
stick by cranking 16 fence clear-
ers in 1991. Always solid in the
field, Bell is the leader of this

The Clarion Call
Vote on recreation center begins next week
By Lisa Lawson and Matt Geesey
News Writer and News Editor
Several years ago it was
determined that Clarion
University is seriously lacking
recreational space in which
students can do such things as
run, play basketball and compete
in intramural sports.
Other institutions in the State
System of Higher Education
(SSHE) have already begun to
build more recreational space for
their students. Now Clarion
University's student bedy will
decide whether a recreation
center will be necessary for this
university.
A referendum vote will be held
where a secret ballot, sent out to
students, will be completed and
dropped off at various places on
campus next week. Many
students have already expressed
discontent with the way the
referendum will be handled and
many students also question the
need for a recreation center.
Dave Tomeo, Director of the
Gemmell Student Center, served
as chairman of the committee
which conducted a feasibility
study for the new recreation
center at Clarion. Tomeo noted,
"when projects are going on
across the system it's usually
easier to get things through, and
Harrisburg now recognizes the
need for more recreation space
within the system."
Tomeo's committee recently
provided the state system with a
more accurate budget picture
following plans drawn up by
local architects. In addition, the
committee has prepared a
brochure, which will be mailed
to all full-time students of the
university.
The proposed recreation
center, now 6,000 square feet
smaller than originally planned,
will be funded the same as
before, and will be a part of the
student center auxiliary.
Detailing the benefits to
students on campus Tomeo
replied, "without a doubt it will
be a real plus."
However, there exists a Board
of Governors' policy that
requires student approval by
referendum for all student union
and recreational facilities
projects.
The policy states that "such
facilities are to be self-
supporting, and costs must
include design, contingency,
construction, site preparation,
furnishings, operational, and life
cycle reserve requirements." The
Board of Governors is one of
the governing bodies for
Pennsylvania's institutions of
higher education.
If approved by the students,
final design planning and
parking lot development will
begin during the 1996-97 school
year. Construction would then
begin over the course of the
1997-98 year, and the facility
itself would be expected to be
ready for student use in 1998 or
1999.
In order to fund this project,
all full-time students will be
required to contribute to the
development and construction
costs from 1996-98.
The proposed fee has been
broken down by semesters, and
it varies depending on each
student's class standing so that
those students not having at least
one year of access to the new
facility will not be charged the
full fee.
The proposed recreation center
fee schedule is as follows: From
1996-97 freshmen will be
assessed $40 per semester,
sophomores $20, juniors $10 and
seniors $5.
Then, during 1997-98 the fees
increase each semester to $80 for
freshmen, $40 for sophomores,
$20 for juniors and $10 for
seniors. Finally, the semester fee
in 1998-99 will be set at $80 for
all students.
Controversy has surrounded
the fact that all students will
have to pay for the recreation
center even though some won't
use it when it is finished.
Tomeo said representatives
from the Board of Governors in
Harrisburg needed financial
commitment for the recreation
center before approval. Since the
recreation center is projected to
be built near Campbell Hall,
some available parking will be
eliminated.
An additional parking lot will
be constructed when

Public Safety investigates early February assault report
By Mary Beth Curry
Managing Editor
Public Safety officials continue
to investigate a rape reported last
Friday, March 8th. The incident
occurred on February 9, 1996.
Channel 1 1 News interviewed
students on Clarion University
campus regarding the four rapes
reported this academic year.
The story aired on March 12,
and reported the number of
alleged rapes was higher than is
usually reported.
Clarion University Director of
University Relations, Ron
Wilshire, explained the victim
reported that she was walking on
the service road that is off of
Wood Street and runs down the
hill to Wilkinson Hall parking
lot.
According to a Public Safety
report, the victim was pushed
into the area behind the Central
Services Building by an actor
wearing a ski mask.
This area of campus is
regularly patrolled by Public
Safety officers and is also close
to the emergency phone located
on Wood Street.
At this time it is not apparent
whether the incident technically
happened on or off Clarion
University campus.
Clarion University public
safety officers must publish
every criminal act that is
reported in the Public Safety
Blotter whether the incident is
founded or unfounded.
However, in this case, the victim
does not wish to pursue
prosecution.
According to Wilshire, the
most recent of the other alleged
attacks is reported to have

compiles information for the March 12 broadcast which stated that four rapes have been
reported at Clarion University in the past six months.

OPINION
Kathryn
Zaikoski
Have you ever been in a hurry
and parked in a handicapped
space "for just a couple of min-
utes?" Did you ever think to
yourself as you parked your car
between two blue lines, "what are
the chances there will be a hand-
icapped person who needs to
park here?" Did you ever make
the mistake I did and park in the
handicapped parking space near
the loading zone in the back of
Gemmell?
If you are one of the many peo-
ple who has violated the law and
selfishly parked in a handicapped
spot, I would like to share what
happened to me as a result of
parking in a space marked with a
large blue wheelchair.
It was a Wednesday afternoon,
meaning that until 9:00 p.m. I am
locked into the deadline of get-
ting this paper out. Around 5:00
p.m. I circled around campus and
could not find a spot close
enough for my lazy self to walk.
Since it was after 5:00 p.m. and
the evil ticket cops had gone
home for the evening, I felt fairly
confident that parking in the
restricted area would be safe and
convenient for me to just run into
work.
I justified my act by thinking I
would move my car later if I got
a minute. As luck would have it,
this particular evening Gemmell
Complex experienced a power
outage, causing the Clarion Call
production schedule to come to a
screeching hault. After approxi-
mately 40 minutes of waiting in
the dark, the power was restored
and making deadline was again a
foreseeable goal.
After successfully putting
another issue "to bed," I and the
Clarion Call staff headed out to
our usual "after deadline ren-
dezvous," SUBWAY!
As I approached my car, I real-
ized that I had been booted by
Public Safety for parking in the
handicapped space.
For those of you who have
never had the privilege of being
"booted," this meant there was an
orange contraption attached to
my left front tire making the car
immobile. Accompanying the
boot were notices from Public
Safety, two parking tickets, and a
note which addressed me as "hey
you a !
The derogatory note went on to
say, "you block the ramp, people
in wheelchairs can't get through.

I rested on my unmade bottom
bunk flipping through the chan-
nels on my cable-ready
Magna vox. As I shoveled the but-
ter-flavored pretzel twists into
my mouth, I stopped the remote
on channel six. I am not sure
why I did not shoot straight
through to MTV, perhaps it was
my destiny to watch NBC that
Wednesday afternoon. Whatever
the reason, I am thankful it hap-
pened. For that afternoon, I
relived a portion of my child-
hood — a segment that always
made me smile and wish it was
1954.
The bubbling theme song to
Laverne and Shirley bounced off
the walls of my tiny room.
Instantly a strange feeling of
camaraderie filled my heart.
Childhood memories whizzed
through my mind. I remembered
my anticipation on Thursday
evenings; sometimes I couldn't
even make it through dinner.
How could any nine-year-old
child make it through knowing
that in two hours all of America
would be experiencing the ABC,

up.
Although it has been over a
decade, my memories are still

quite vivid. The year was 1979.
It was an era of disco music,
polyester, and sexual revolution.
Norma Rae played in the theaters
and in every car each afternoon
during the Pittsburgh rush-hour
traffic the Pointer Sisters' smash
hit "We Are Family" rang proud-
ly. The Steelers had just won
their fourth Superbowl, and the
Pirates were in the pennant race.
Black and Gold fever beamed
throughout the city. West
Jefferson Hills school district
was on strike. Therefore my days
were free to run and play kick-
ball, eat dinner, and take my bath.
I'd dress in my favorite
"Jetsons" pajamas and plop
myself down in my mother's
rocking chair. The evening
began at 8:00 p.m. with Happy
Days. My pre-adolescent heart
melted at the sight of the 'Fonz.'
But 8:30 was the highlight of my
week; for at 8:30 my all-time
favorite sitcom aired about
Laverne DeFazio and Shirley
Feeney. I loved their poodle
skirts and angora sweaters and
matching scarves. Laverne's
monogrammed "L" fascinated
me. I wanted to grow up to be a
beer-bottle capper and live in a
basement with my best friend
LeAnn Graft. Her first name
even began with the correct ini-
tial. It would be perfect.
During the week of the 1979
Pennant, my harmonious
Thursday routine was unexpect-
edly interrupted. Following the
usual routine, I finished my
Salisbury steak and rushed to
take my bubble bath. After grab-
bing the 'Chips Ahoy' and a big
glass of milk I sat down in the
rocker, switching the television
to channel four. But minutes
before Happy Days started, I
heard the chimes of our doorbell.
Surprise, my grandmother from
next door had came by for a visit.
Just to be congenial and to please
my mother, I sat in the living
room for a half hour— until it
was time for Laverne and Shirley.
At 8:30 I was excused. Racing
into my mother's room, I hopped
into my chair and flipped on the
TV set. I had missed Richie and
the Fonz, but at least I would get
to see MY show.
Instead of hearing the theme
song I'd grown to love, I saw the
World Series logo. I sat for a
moment speechless. Then I sat
silently in disgust for about five
more minutes. How could ABC
do this to me? Why would any-
one want to watch the World
Series instead of Laverne and
Shirley! I was so distraught, I
began to yell. Before I realized
what was emerging from my
mouth I screamed, "Damn stupid
baseball game!" Following my
outburst, still consumed with
rage, 1 kicked the television with
all my might. In doing so, I hurt
my foot. This caused a second
obscene outburst, "Ouch, damn
stupid TV!" I yelled as I punched
the television screen. Before any
more vulgarities could slip
through my lips, I felt a tap on
my shoulder. Spinning around, I
found myself facing my mother.
She was standing in her, "I've
been here the entire time, and
I've seen everything so don't lie"
pose.
"Kristen," she hollered, "If you
are going to have temper
tantrums you cannot watch tele-
vision in my room or any other
room!"
Pouting, I stomped into the
kitchen to call my grandmother
next door, "MeMe Mary."
MeMe, I began, "I'm mad.
Tonight is my TV night. You
know how much I love Laverne
and Shirley. It's not on. I'm mad
and I don't know what to do."
" Well honey, why don't you
write a letter," my "Me Me" said.
That was all I needed to hear. A
brilliant idea entered my fifth
grade mind. I would write an
editorial to the "Daily News" our
local newspaper, to vent my hos-
tilities on the World Series.
There I sat at our wrought iron
table, dressed in my faded
" Jetsons" nightshirt with a short-
hand pad and a no. 2 pencil
before me. After covering our
kitchen with crumpled rough
drafts, I completed my master-
piece.
To whom it may concern:
I am a fifth grade student, and
I think that the showing of TV
programs the way they are these
days is screwy.
For instance, last Thursday I
was looking forward to Laverne

READER RESPONSES
Supreme Court did provide separation of church and state
Dear Editor,
I commend Ms. Rosemary
Herman for her excellent and
succinct letter recognizing a
valued principle, the separation
of church and state. She
understands the essential need to
protect the beliefs, or non-
beliefs, of everyone. If
government or their officials,
support the "religious" views
and practices of some, then they
discriminate and denigrate those
of others
The Call should have more
accurately captioned her letter
Agreement (not Disagreement)
with 'open letter to the Clarion
Commissioners.'"
However, The Call's
publication of the letter deserves
the highest praise for journalistic
excellence. It was the first
publication to carry any criticism
of the Commissioner's
questionable public prayer.
The New Bethlehem Leader
Vindicator did so later.
Michael Sloat then responded by
rambling at length in an attempt
to justify governmental and
officialdoms's imposition of
particular "religious" views on
one and all. Strangely enough, a
careful reading of much of what
he wrote actually supports many
of the points made in the original
open letter.
However, he chose to ignore
the fact that the Supreme Court
DID RULE, and continues to
rule, that the First Amendment
clearly provides a wall of
separation between church and
state.
Which, of course, fortunately
protects each of these institutions
from the other, although Sloat
ignored that as well. The open
letter to the Commissioners
suggested that their public
prayers were probably
superficial, narrow-minded and
merely self-righteous pretentious
posturings devoted to winning
some otherwise undeserved
public acceptance.
The open letter said, "The
Commissioners are, in effect, as
is often the case, distorting and
misusing Christianity to express
a blatant insensitivity and
intolerance toward many of their
fellow citizens."
The open letter also noled that
"public officials have the
freedom to pray, even in their
offices, privately on their own
...with the blessing of one and
all," and that public prayer,
rather than its more appropriate
private exercise, merely
demean- it.
Thomas Jefferson II also
questioned whether the
Commissioner's prayers were
thoughtful, reasonable,
responsible, proper or even legal.
Instead Mr. Sloat devoted much
of his attention to the irrelevant
and questionable matter of
whether Thomas Jefferson and
Thomas Jefferson II, who signed
the open letter, held the same
views. Most of us refuse to
impose or inflict our religious
beliefs or non-beliefs, on others.
Why must the fanatics insist
upon chucking theirs down our
throats?
Sadly, no other thoughtful
citizens, excluding Ms. Herman,
the discerning clergy and the
Clarion News have risen to the
challenge. Will they? Mr. Sloat
is a follower of the "Christian"
coalition with its insistent intent
to force extremist and intolerant
controls and limitations over our
society is not known to me.
However, on the matters of
public prayer and the separation
of church and state he firmly
agrees with that element.
Kenneth F. Emerick
P.S. Performed as it is in a
political bullring, prayer,
whatever its values, is being
cheapened and demeaned,
obviously prayers, with or
without supernatural
intervention, are neither

Sports writers should refrain from using racially intolerant nicknames
Dear Editor,
Hello. In the hopes of fostering
a better understanding between
the Native American population
and the mainstream culture of
Clarion University, I am
requesting that your news
department consider
standardizing the ethnic
description your staff uses in
describing the indigenous
population of the western
hemisphere in news reports and
stories.
In the 504 years since the
Columbus encounter, aboriginal
citizens of the Americans have
had to combat stereotypical
racism which has its historical
roots in the erroneous survey of
the Native American people
whom Columbus encountered.
After determining that these
peaceful natives were not of the
Muslim faith, Columbus
assumed that he had made his
way to the subcontinent of India
and had met up with Hindu
citizens, hence the term "los
indios' from where the mis-
leading term "Indians originates.
Although the error was
discovered relatively soon after
Columbus returned to Europe,
the damage was already done
and the stereotypes established.
Approaching this subject from a
different, but equally important
angle, I would also like to
request the consideration of your
sports department staff writers
from refraining the using of the
description of racially intolerant
nick-names such as and
including : the Washington
Redskins, the Kansas City
Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and
especially, the Cleveland
Indians.
By following the precedent of
a number of Oregon newspapers
which now refer to those teams
as the Washington D.C. NFL
team, the Kansas City
professional football team, the
Atlanta National League baseball
team, and the Cleveland
professional baseball team,
clarity of sports reporting can be
maintained without confusion.
This nickname ban also
extends to offensive college
team nick-names, as well as
league standings and transaction
ledgers.
This unprecedented move not
only did not hurt newsstand
sales, it attracted many accolades
for the media owners and staff.
Please consider standardizing
the future references to western
hemisphere indigenous citizens
to the legitimate cultural term,
Native Americans, as well as any-
specific tribal nation identity.
Due to the increasing prevalence
of news reports being utilized in
a number of academic classroom
settings for current events
awareness of the historical
accuracy would be greatly
appreciated.
Also, in this time of fiscal
conservativeness and the budget
cutting of redundant expenses, it
is ludicrous to have to re-educate
our young people and students in
higher education to the
legitimacy of Native American
land claims in the western
hemisphere, when respected
news venues such as yours could
regressively correct the longest
standing American historical
inaccuracy through editorial
control.
Thank you for your concern.
Cordially yours, Charles J.

A tragedy has befallen Clarion students
Dear Call Readers,
I have been attending this
university for four years. In this
time, there have been several
things that I have seen that I
don't agree with and I have not
said anything about.
There was the President's
House issue, the fitness center,
and not to mention out-of-state
tuition (I live in New York).
Today I was moved to write this
letter to you because a tragedy
has befallen the students and
staff of this university.
The nicest man at this
university no longer works here,
Mr. Ed Gathers.
For those of you who may not
place the name with the man, he
is the gentleman who used to
"run" Chandler (as far as I'm
concerned).
Mr. Gathers would take time to
talk to the students and make
them feel at home. We have all
seen the changes at Chandler, the
attempt to make them feel at
home.
All the changes at Chandler
have attemped to make it more
inviting. Well as far as I am
concerned Mr. Gather's was a
great man and made the
difference at the cafeteria.
I am writing in hopes that this
will be seen by Mr. Gathers and
administrators so that they
realize that he will be missed and
that he is remembered as one of
my fondest memories at this
university.
However, the situation is being
handled by the university and I
am sure that it is being handled
in the typical university fashion.
Sincerely,
Amy Remick, student

Lawmakers recoil at gas tax vote
HARRISBURG - Six months after a legislative pay raise and
six weeks before the primary election, Gov. Tom Ridge wants the
Legislature to approve an increase in the gasoline tax.
But his proposal for a 6.5-cent increase to repair weather-
damaged roads and bridges and fund new construction has been
greeted with silence by House Republicans. And crowing from
House Democrats.
"I think it's dead in the water," said Rep. Ron Gamble of
Allegheny County, the ranking Democrat on the House
Transportation Committee.
With 203 members, the House presents the biggest obstacle for
Ridge. The gas tax vote will first occur there, then go to the 50-
member Senate.
Republicans hold the House with a one-vote majority. To get
an increase through, Gamble said Ridge needs 40 Democratic and
62 Republican votes.
Panel advances Ridge welfare plan
HARRISBURG - Welfare recipients must find a job within two
years or lose benefits under a plan approved by a Senate
committee despite opponents' warnings it could deny health care
to thousands of poor Pennsylvanians.
The Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee on Tuesday
voted 7-2 to approve a bill that would largely put into law Gov.
Tom Ridge's welfare plan, which he unveiled in February. The
bill now goes to the Senate.
Opponents say the bill undercuts what little help the poor
receive. But supporters say poor Pennsylvanians who depend on
the government will learn to care for themselves.
Hundreds rally for job training money
HARRISBURG - If Pennsylvania can cut business taxes by
$285 million this fiscal year and consider another $60 million
reduction next year, then it can afford $ 1 million for job training,
a Philadelphia Democratic lawmaker said Tuesday.
State Rep. W. Curtin Thomas organized a job training rally and
lobbying day that drew more than 400 people from across the
state to the Capitol.
Thomas has introduced a bill that would have the state spend $
1 million for job training, to help fill a gap left by proposed cuts
in federal funds for summer job program and the Job Partnership
Training Act.
Dog saves woman's life, calls 911
NASHUA, N.H. - A dog named Lyric remembered her training
Tuesday, using a preprogrammed telephone to call for help after
her owner's oxygen mask came loose.
Judi Bayly, who sleeps with an oxygen mask on because of a
breathing disorder, said she could have died if her Irish setter had
not been there to help.
When Bayly's oxygen alarm sounded early Tuesday, Lyric first
tried to rouse her owner.
Failing that, she knocked the receiver off a telephone, and
bumped a speed-dial button on the phone three times to dial 911.
Several buttons on the phone are programmed for the same
number. The town's 911 system automatically gives dispatchers a
caller's address.

people in wheelchairs can't get
through. People like yourself
make it harder to get around on
this campus. Maybe if you
would think less about yourself
and think about others, life
would be a lot easier for
everyone." The author of the
note then signed the letter and
offered their telephone number
in case I needed some lessons.
It's not easy for me to express
how I felt when I read that note.
Honestly, my first reaction was
one of annoyance. I didn't
appreciate being called an a-
by a complete stranger, and it
wasn't as if I wasn't going to pay
for my mistake.
The total cost of this
"convenient" parking space was
$36.00 including the tickets and
removal of the boot.
But later, as I sat in SUBWAY
and endured the endless "bootsie
and boots" jokes from my
sensitive co-workers, I began to
realize the impact of what that
parking space cost me, and what
it cost someone else.
A stranger in a wheelchair
whom I've never met, was
denied the ability to get down off
a sidewalk because I didn't feel
like walking across campus.
There I am, perfecUy capable of
using my own two legs, parking
in a spot that was designed for
people who can't.
I really don't think there is any
way I could apologize to thai
person; for me to say I'm sorry
wouldn't end the daily
frustrations I'm sure he must
endure because of other peoples
selfishness.
The only way I could truly
apologize to him would be to
encourage people to realize that
what may be "convenient" for
them, could be a real hardship
for handicapped people.
Although I never called the
phone number on the note to
receive whatever lesson was
being offered, I think I was truly
taught something. Thanks.

I folded up my editorial and
sealed it in an envelope. I
scribbled my return address and
"Daily News" on the front. I left
it for my mother to mail in the
morning.
Four days later my mother
received a call from our neighbor
Louise Ambrosia. I had been
published! I was so proud of my
accomplishment. My mother
bought all of the newspapers in
our surrounding area. I was the
nine-year-old celebrity of
Bickerton Plan.
I'm sure my brief moment of
fame is the reason why Laverne
and Shirley is so endearing to
me. That afternoon when I saw
that repeat, I remembered my
Thursday evening excitement. I
also remembered my passion
which caused me to compose my
editorial. It is that same passion
deep within my heart that leads
me to believe I may someday
have a career in journalism. If
that never occurs, at least I have
been published, and I still have
one beautiful childhood memory.
If I do make it as a journalist
there may be hope for that
basement apartment after all.

Taiwan, a longtime ally of the
United States, will be holding its
first free presidential election on
March 23, 1996. China is
responding by threatening to fire
live ammunition in future
missiles across the straits of
Taiwan, which would continue
until March 20. Since the end of
the civil war in China (1949),
when Nationalists retreated to
the island of Taiwan after losing
to the Communists, China has
regarded Taiwan as a renegade
province. Although both
countries have said they would
reunify, China is convinced the
free election will be followed by
President Lee Tenh-hui making a
formal declaration of
independence.
According to the USA TODAY
(3/11/96), Chinese Foreign
Minister, Qian Qichen said
Beijing would stop its
maneuvers if Taiwan gives up
efforts to regain a seat in the
United Nations. They may
decide to stop even before they
start. The Clinton Administration
has been sending warships to
Taiwan, including two aircraft
carriers; USS Nimitz and the
Independence, and various other
support ships. According to U.S.
i i \ ' . i . J V.l,
, r > . I I -<l
l t i Jtlyji.
officials the decision to send the
ships was designed to lessen
growing political and military
tensions between China and
Taiwan.
According to the Washington
Post (3/12/96), the naval buildup
around Taiwan drew bipartisan
support from Congress. This
wasn't a surprise considering the
recent pressure for the U.S. to
enact a get-tough policy with
Beijing because of differences
over Taiwan, nuclear non-
proliferation, trade and human
rights. Although the dispatch of
U.S. naval forces is extensive, it
does not mean a pledge to send
U.S. troops to Taiwan if it comes
under attack from mainland
China.
The Taiwan Relations Act of
1979 only commits the United
States to help Taiwan defend
itself. Under that law, the U.S.
helps Taiwan provide for its own
defense. The law makes no
commitment of U.S. forces.

Recreation center referendum cont. from page 1
when construction for the center
starts.
This, Tomeo feels, will help
alleviate the university's parking
problem.
This will also be a benefit for
the students who won't use the
recreation center.
Tomeo hopes that the costs to
the student body won't prevent
people from not voting at all.
Dr. George Curtis, Vice
President from Student Affairs,
also commented on the need for
all current students to pay for the
center before it is built.
He added that there will be pay-
ments needed for costs for the
project while it is being built and
after it is completely finished.
The referendum vote for the
recreation center was brought up
at the Monday Student Senate
meeting for the Senate's
approval.
Many senators expressed con-
cern about not being included in
the choice of the dates for the ref-
erendum.
Dr. Curtis expressed his view
that even though the Student
Senate wasn't closely involved in
the recent decision of the dates.
He insisted that their input was
included in previous meetings
with the Senate's own Athletics
Committee planning the feasibil-
ity study that was prepared for
the Board of Governors.
Senator Karen Carlson, chair-
person of the Senate's Athletics
Committee which helped plan for
the recreation center expressed
the Senate's view on the situa-
tion: "Student Senate passed a
motion in support of the building
of the recreation center.
However, several senators have
expressed concerns regarding the
proposed fee schedule and the
referendumvote."
Senator Carlson also expressed
her own personal views on the
situation, 'The students need to
remember one thing while con-
sidering their vote. If the referen-
dum does not pass, the recreation
center will become a dead issue.
In other words, mere will be no
recreation center."
As for the Athletics Committee's
role in the referendum, she con-
cluded," There has been a lot of
hard work and effort put into this
project. I feel mat the recreation
center would be very beneficial
to the students and can do great
things for Clarion University."
Senator Rick Arter felt that the,
"Senate might get misrepresented
by their support for the referen-
dum. Obviously with the ques-
tions and concerns mat were pre-
sented at the meeting, some sena-
tors aren't pleased with the way
the referendum is being han-
dled."
Included in the brochure will
be the student's personal ballot.
To prevent students from plac-
ing more than one ballot in a box,
each individual ballot will have
the student's mailing address on
it and the student will also have
to sign their ballot.
The student is to vote either
"yes" or "no" to the question "Do
you support adoption of the pro-
posed fee schedule to fund a stu-
dent recreation center?"
The ballots are to be dropped off
at various locations on campus
next Tuesday and Wednesday,
March 19-20.
Members of Student Senate will
be helping to staff the voting
places next week at the following
times and locations: 7:00 p.m. -
10:00 p.m. at all residence hall
front desks, 1:00 p.m.- 3:00 p.m.
at Carlson Library, 11:00 a.m.-
1:00 p.m. in Chandler Dining
Hall, 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. at the
Gemmell Student Center front
desk and 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. in
Tippin Gymnasium.
According to Dr. Curtis, if the
student body passes the referen-
dum, it will men be sent to the
university's Council of
Trustees.The referendum will be
discussed at their spring meeting
and will be voted on at that meet-
ing
If it is passed by the Council of
Trustees, the referendum will be
resubmitted to the Board of
Governors for approval at their
July meeting.
If the Board of Governors pass-
es the referendum, then the con-
struction can begin.
The university will hire archi-
tects and engineers for the con-
struction and long-range plan-
ning will begin.
As a result of this referendum,
the committee expects to know
whether or not to proceed with
the plans for the recreation center
by the morning of March 21.
According to Tomeo, "I think
the students will support it, but it
may be a close vote."

The August 25 incident was
reported to Clarion Borough
Police by a 19-year-old Clarion
University student. According to
Clarion Bourough incident
release, the student reported that
she was semi-conscious from

Clarion University's safe campus status has been degraded
by reports of several rapes in the area. This is the reported
location where a woman was raped by an attacker on
February 9, 1996.
the student did not wish to persue
prosecution.
"I think that based on the four
different incidents that have been
reported, the University needs to
intensify our efforts to make stu-
dents aware that they need to
report attempted rapes, to make
us aware of who the rapist is, and
to alert us as to the precautions
mat female students can take to
prevent themselves form being in
compromising positions," said
Dr. Heather Haberaecker, vice-
president for finance and admin-
stration. Haberaecker's depart-
ment is directly responsible for
the university's Public Safety.
According to Wilshire, the
attention given to the March 8
incident is unusual because it
involves a violent attack, where-
as the other attacks were alleged
incidents of acquaintance rape.
According to the most recent
statistics published in the
University Security Information
pamphlet, the actual offenses of
rape for 1992, 1993, and 1994
have been zero. This information
is published in compliance to the
Crime Awareness and Campus
Safety Act. This act requires
"that crime statistics be report for
'any building or property owned
or controlled by student organi-
zations recognized by the institu-
tion." These guidelines are fol-
lowed by Public Safety and a
copy of the pamplet is sent to
tion." These guidelines are fol-
lowed by Public Safety and a
copy of the pamplet is sent to
each incoming freshman at
home.
"We can't help other female stu-
dents and prevent them from
experiencing the same things
unless we get names. From a law
enforcement perspective, that is
important and we will protect
confidentiallity to the extent per-
mitted by law," Harberaecker
said.
She went on to explain that the
university does have programs
that are designed to help students
deal with violent attacks, such as
the Rape Agressive Defense pro-
gram, which is currently being
presented to students.
Wilshire also explained that
every student who reports an
alleged attack is referred to cam-
pus counselling services as well
as the Rape Crisis Center.
According to Wilshire, mere
were no flyers hung on campus
after the incident was reported
because there was no imminent
danger deemed probable.
The incident was reported to
Public Safety approximately one
month after it allegedly occured
and no description could be given
by the student involved.
"There is no reason to believe a
serial rapist is on campus, but
women students need to be cau-
tious at night walking around
serial rapist is on campus, but
women students need to be cau-
tious at night walking around
campus," said Dr. George Curtis,
Vice-President for Student
Affairs.
He also pointed out that female
students should be aware of who
they are visiting.
"I think Clarion is shown as
responsible as far as Public
Safety incidents. We treat every
reported crime seriously and
attempt to follow through with a
thourough investigation. Public
Safety does need the cooperation
of victims in their investigation
of reported crimes. In terms of
the impact of reports like this the
most important thing that
remains is the safety of the stu-
dents and employees at Clarion.
We have established a record as
one of the safest universities in
the northeastern United States."
This information is based on a
listing of safe schools as reported
in the book Crime at College;
The Student Guide to personal
Safety. The list has Clarion
University of Pennsylvania
ranked fourth on a list of safest
schools in the Northeastern
United States. Taking first place
on the list is Indiana University

UAB plans spring concert '96
by Sandee Siford, Student Senate Reporter
Student Senate met this week on Monday, March 11 at 7:30pm. Dr
Curtis presented the information about the Recreation Center and the
Referendum. The voting is to be held on March 19 and the 20, regard
ing the schedule fee. If this passes it goes then to the Council of
Trustees, and then to the Board of Govenors. If it makes it that far then
the preperation work would start in 96-97, and construction would take
place in 97-98. They are hoping for this to be completed by Fall 98
Costs for the preceding two years would be paid by students. They are
as follows:
For the 96-97 year - Freshman $40
Sophmores $20
Juniors $10
Seniors $5
For the 97-98 year - Freshman $80
Sophmores $40
Juniors $20
Seniors $10
If this Referendum passes, the tuition for 96-97 fall semester incoming
freshmen would be $4078 which would place Clarion 10th in the
SSHE in tuition and fees.
Senator Carlson moved that the Student Senate support the building
of the Recreation Center. The motion carried.
The Interna!! Council will bold a twist-a-thon on March 17 between
the residence halls. A dance-a-thon will be held on March 30. A mys-
tery bus trip is scheduled to be held this semester.
Movie night was March 12 at the Orpheum.The coffee house spon-
sored "What would you do for $50 bucks" on March 13 at 8pm. The

Clarion University's University
Activities Board (UAB) is cur-
rently looking for performers for
their annual spring concert. One
performer, world-renown pop
star Billy Joel, was considered to
perform but complications have
aroused. The artist's touring
schedule and his availability to
come to Clarion when the UAB
had planned the concert has fall-
en short. Other possible artists
are being considered.
Each semester, the UAB
Concert Committee meets to dis-
cuss possible performers for the
spring concert. Their selection
process includes the popularity of
the artist and the artist's price
range. "The UAB strives for
diversity and does not contribute
solely to any particular groups'
musical tastes," explains UAB
president, Amy Salusky. Once
the committee has collected their
ideas, they contact the agents of
the perspective performers.
The ticket price is dependent
upon the cost of a particular
band. If the price exceeds the
allotted concert budget, ticket
prices are set to make up the dif-
ference to add to the budget.
"The University Activities Board
is a non-profit organization. We
would never charge students
unless the budget wouldn't cover
bringing in a large performer,"
says Salusky. "Any leftover
money at the end of the year goes
to the Student Senate," she
added.
Sonia Gabor, chairperson for
the UAB Concert Committee,
expressed her feeling that the
chance that Billy Joel would still
come to Clarion, was "slim to
none, more likely none." She fur-
ther explained that Joel is on a
college concert workshop tour
and the concert would have been
held in the Marwick-Boyd
Auditorium if it was to be held.
Gabor also said that, "we have
not directly gone after anyone
else." Another possibility for the
concert that has been submitted
included the proposal of three or
four popular bands to perform for
the spring concert.
Gabor added, "There is still a
possibility for a spring concert
even though there is a lack of
money in UAB's budget."
"We realize that the university
wants a spring concert, and we
plan to give it to them the best
way that we can," Salusky con-
cluded.
FU students register to vote in election

Linda Reale was struck by how
many of her classmates weren't
voting when she helped cam-
paign for a Florida Senate candi-
date last year.
Her candidate lobbied for votes
by knocking on doors, working
the crowds at community func-
tions and shaking a lot of hands.
But when it came to one huge
group of potential voters, the
campaign trail hit a dead end.
"We didn't go to the students,"
says the University of Central
Florida junior.
Even though she is a registered
voter, Reale can understand why
a candidate wouldn't waste the
time or money to make the
rounds on college campuses.
"We looked at the breakdown
from the voter registration office
[of previous elections]," she
recalled. "Students weren't in the
variable at all."
In an effort to reach Florida's
two million students, a student
lobby group, the Florida Student
Association is pushing for state
legislation that would allow stu-
dents to register to vote when
they register for classes.
The proposal, called Register
Once, is modeled after the
National Voter Registration Act
or "motor voter" law which
allows people to fill out voter
registration forms when they
obtain or renew a driver's license
or visit another state government
office. Since going into effect a
year ago, the law has swelled the
ranks of Florida voters by about a

Though successful, the "motor
voter" law still fails to reach the
college-age voters, Reale, who
interns for the Florida Student
Association, said. Most students
obtain their driver's license at 16,
two years before the voting age,
then may wait six years before
renewing it. By then, "they're not
students anymore." she said.
Requiring universities to pro-
vide voter registration forms to a
traditionally apathetic voting
population makes sense to
Sharon Pacheco, the group's
executive director.
"Since colleges are institutions
of higher learning [that promote
academicsj we feel it should be
just as important to promote
voter registration," she said.
As part of its Register Once
campaign, the group provides
election numbers that illustrate
the meager voter turnout on col-
lege campuses.

'Distance Education' program to be implemented at Clarion
by Tom Evans
News Writer
Clarion University is on the cusp
of a new era in education with
'distance education'. Distance
education refers to the use of
monitors and cameras to hold a
class lecture in the classroom as
well as in another location at the
same time. Dr. Rita Flaningam,
Dean of the College of
Communication, Computer
Information Science, and Library
Science, explained that distance
education can take many forms
including correspondence cours-
es, traveling, satellite transmis-
sion, Internet, and compressed
television sent over telephone
lines. Clarion University is using
compressed audio and video sent
over the phone lines. The tech-
nology behind Clarion's distance
education consists of equipment
by Picturtel. A monitor with a
camera attached to it will take the
audio and visual signals and send
them to a converter that will
compress the data into digital
form. The digitized data is sent to
another location via telephone
lines. The received data is then
sent to the other location's con-
verter and then decompressed
into audio and video signals and
broadcasted on the monitor.
Questions can be asked to both
locations and conversation can
occur between both locations in
real time. Cori Phillips, graduate
assistant in charge of the
Interactive Video Classroom,
stated that there is a delay or lag-
time of only four tenths of a sec-
ond between the sending and
receiving of data. The human eye
can detect a little delay with the
transmission but all in all it is
transmitted and received in real
time.
Dr. Flaningam stated that
Clarion University has already
implemented distance education
in a one-credit course and some
non-credit courses last year. The
courses were successful and
received fairly good response.
Clarion University plans on
implementing distance education
to offer classes at Venango
Campus that would normally be
only offered at the Clarion cam-
pus. Cori Phillips explained that
with this technology, people who
normally couldn't take courses
on campus will be able to access
courses through other colleges
possibly in the near future.
Outside presenters and speakers
could be seen by more than just
one;' room of people. A couple
downsides to distance education
at Clarion University would be
that students might become dis-
tracted with the transmission lag-
time of four-tenths of a second.
Even though the delay time is
minimal, the brain can get dis-
tracted if it is used to having
immediate response as in a tradi-
tional classroom. The personal-
ized attention of a classroom lec-
ture is also diminished if it is
replaced by a monitor, camera,
and microphones. Phillips stated
that students might get discour-
aged and feel left out if they are
the receiving classroom of the
lecture because they are the stu-
dents who have to look at the
monitor in class and see another
classroom with a professor trying
to teach to both rooms.
Dr. Flaningam stated that stu-
dents should look for distance
education non-credit courses
offered as early as spring 1997.
Students who take these courses
should be prepared for class and
ready to interact since the whole
nature of distance education
classes is interaction between
both locations and the professor.
Students, faculty, or anyone
interested in learning more about
distance education at Clarion
University should attend the
Open House on Wednesday,
College Press Service cont. from page 6
For instance, in the 1992 presi-
dential elections, only about half
of college-age students were
even registered to vote, and only
43 percent of that number actual-
ly voted. By contrast, in the 45-to
65-year-old age group, about
three-quarters were registered to
vote, and 70 percent of that num-
ber actually cast ballots in the
election.
Although the numbers might
indicate such, college students
are not slackers who could care
less about who's running the
nation, Pacheco said.
"We really oppose that label
'Generation X,' " she said, refer-
ring to the self-indulgent, indif-
ferent stereotype of college stu-
dents and twentysomethings.
"We want to be the generation of
the future leaders of America."
The low voter turnout more
likely stems from the fact that
students leave the nurturing envi-
ronment of their parents' house
and move directly into the con-
trolled world of the university.
"College doesn't really depict
an arena of self-responsibility,"
she said. "[You're told] what
classes to take. Instruction is
always given. There is nothing
about citizenry . . . think about
that. There is no classroom
instruction [about how] you are a
citizen and you have responsibil-
ity."
The proposal has enjoyed a
strong bi-partisan backing in the
Florida House and Senate.
Although the bill's sponsor in
both houses is a Democrat, the
group has begun lobbying inter-
ested Republican lawmakers to
sign on as co-sponsors, Pacheco
said.
"We want it to be recognized as
good policy by both parties," she
said.
The group hopes to have voter
registration forms available at
state universities in time for the
spring 1997 registration for class-
es.

Female law students face bias, study finds
Courtesy of College Press
Service
At a large Midwestern law
school, a professor routinely calls
his female students "little girl"
and "sweetie."
Male students at a law school in
the Northeast laugh outright at
female students' comments dur-
ing class.
At another Midwestern law
school, male students condemn
women faculty, calling them
"inadequate" or "bitchy."
These are just some of the inci-
dents included in a new
American Bar Association report
that says female students entering
law school can expect to find a
chilly, male-dominated environ-
ment that hasn't changed much
in the last 100 years
"Elusive Equality," produced by
the ABA's Commission on
Women in the Profession, found
that male faculty members and
students-even the young ones -
continue to treat women disre-
spectfully.
"Barriers to equality still exist,
despite the large numbers of
women coming into the profes-
sion," Laurel G. Bellows, who
heads the commission, told the
Chronicle of Higher Education.
Women make up about 44 per-
cent of first-year law students,
compared to only 3 percent in
1968. But only 8 percent of law
school deans are women, and
only 16 percent of tenured pro-
fessors are female.
The report found that female
professors are rarely appointed to
influential committees, and that
women in law school generally
lack role models.
The bias might stem from the
fact that more women are becom-
ing successful lawyers than ever
before.
"Young white males seem more
threatened by women classmates
today then in the past," the report
said.
The commission recommends
that law schools adopt strict, anti-
sexual harassment policies.
Also, each law school dean
should create a Committee on
Gender that studies the education
of women, the report said.
On a more positive note, the
commission reported that some
schools "with strong administra-
tive leadership" actually fostered
equal participation of women stu-
dents and faculty.
Female college students con-
sidering law school should not be
discouraged, Bellows said.
"Law is an ideal profession for
women" because they are natural
problem solvers and relationship
builders, she said.
Cory Amron, former chair of
the commission, agrees.
Not all law schools have male-
dominated environments, and a
woman can pick and choose
among schools, she added.
"There's a lot a potential law
student can do," she said.
"Investigate. Take charge of your
destiny. What's it going to look
like at an individual law school?
Ask people who are there."
The Iron Furnace, Caldwell Creek and Oil
Creek Charters of Trout Unlimited is granti-
ng a $1,000 conservation scholarship
through the Clarion University Foundation.
The scholarship will be effective in the Fall
semester of 1996 and the Spring semester
of 1997 and is applicable to all majors.
Applicants must submit an application form
that includes the history of their university
academic performance and a statement of
their aquatic conservation activities/The
statement of conservation activities should
address both vocational and avocational
participation from the applicant's past and
should include projected future goals.
Preference will be given to students who
have demonstrated involvement in the con-
servation of cold wafer resources, you can
pick up application materials from Dr. Terry
Morrow in room 242 Peirce.

"I think the' PLUNGE' was an
excellent opportunity for students
to make a difference. I would
definitely do it again. I am for
change. We all need to make a
difference," said a "PLUNGE"
volunteer.
On Saturday, March 9th, 135
volunteers devoted their time,
energy, and selves to the greater
Clarion area community by par-
ticipating in the Into the Streets
"PLUNGE." The "PLUNGE" is
a one day volunteer opportunity
for people to become acquainted
and interested in community ser-
vice.
Pam Bedison, Project
Coordinator of Community
Service Learning, and Heidi
Bower, president of Into the
Streets were the backbone of the
event by developing and imple-
menting the recent "PLUNGE".
"It has been four years since our
last 'PLUNGE' and we felt this
would be a terrific opportunity to
unite the university and Clarion
community as well as increasing
community service," said
Bedison.
"I can't think of anything more
natural than helping others," said
Bower, who makes community
service a part of her daily life.
She further commented, "Into the
Streets and Community Service
Learning wanted to excite the
university and community with
this event. We accomplished our
goal and are ready to set new
ones."
The volunteering Clarion stu-
dents, employees, and residents
arrived at Carter Auditorium,
Still Hall at 9 a.m. on Saturday
morning and were introduced to
the "PLUNGE" by Bower. Father
Brian Vossler motivated the vol-
unteers for the day and Bedison
organized the participants into
groups.
Once the participants knew
their team and site, the group
leaders (volunteering students)
explained their volunteer duties
for the day. Participants had the
opportunity to serve the commu-
nity through 14 agencies. Katy
Both, team leader for Allegheny
Manor assisted her group with
transporting residents to and
from activities. They helped with
Bingo through calling, helping
residents play, and passing out
prizes.

Clarion student Laura Rhoton took the community service
plunge on Saturday.
The Allegheny Region of the
American Red Cross in New
Bethlehem held disaster relief
training for volunteers. Robin
McNellie, team leader, and other
volunteers received a certificate
of completion. Annette
Castiglione, team leader for the
Clarion County Area Agency on
Aging helped her volunteers with
spring cleaning at the Clarion and
Rimersburg Senior Centers. The
volunteers scrubbed floors, win-
dows, and arranged materials.
Volunteers were utilized with
the Clarion Elementary School
PTO "Fun Fair." Terri
Steigelman and John Majewski,
team leaders, along with other
volunteers assisted with game
booths, food booths, crafts, spe-
cial guests and events.
The Clarion Mall was the loca-
tion of the Clarion County Drug
and Alcohol Administration Fun
Theatre. Julie Svarny, team
leader, assisted volunteers with a
drug and alcohol prevention
activity targeting pre-school and
elementary students. Puppets
and a "Sooper Puppy" video
activity focused on building self-
esteem. Volunteers helped
inflate, tie, attach ribbon to, and
hand out balloons; assisted with
crowd control; collected tickets
from children; served drinks and
popcorn, and set-up and cleaned
up the area.
Melanie Bietz, team leader, and
other volunteers at Clarion Care
Center took residents to bingo
and helped with the activity.
Then they had lunch with resi-
dents and participated with their
afternoon activity. At the Clarion
Free Library Carrie McNellie,
team leader, and her group had
interactive story time with ele-
mentary and pre-school age chil-
dren.
Beth Grover, team leader at
Clarview Nursing Home, assisted
volunteers with interviewing res-
ident's/families for essays for
Lifetime Achievement Awards.
Her group also participated with
social event/entertainment pro-
grams before the interviews.
Keystone SMILES Community
Center was the location of con-
struction renovations. Kim
Shallenberger, team leader,
assisted her group with building
door frames and putting up dry
wall.
At the Koinonia House, Charity
Haubrich, team leader, and her
group cleaned, painted, and sand-
ed floors. Allison Rousek, team
leader, and her fellow volunteers
attended a workshop on

Intern, CSL
With a warm sunshine smile
across her face, Sandy Cole nod-
ded that indeed she enjoyed vol-
unteering at the Clarion Free
Library. Sandy along with 21
other participants affiliated with
Community Partnership
Workgroup volunteered with sev-
eral local agencies during the
"PLUNGE."
"People with significant dis-
abilities and disability service
providers who often find them-
selves at the receiving end have
chosen to work together to give
something back to the communi-
ty," stated Paula Wolf, Director
HIV/AIDS awareness presented
by Northwest PA Rural AIDS
Alliance.
Steph Stripp, team leader and
her group attended Saturday
Science Center and assisted with
various science projects for ele-
mentary school children. Upward
Bound Programs had volunteers
speak with prospective students
about campus life at Campus
Days. At the YMCA, Shelley
Sanden, team leader, and her
group assisted as referees/scorers
for the 3rd and 4th grade basket-
ball games.
Following the day of communi-
ty service, volunteers met for
reflection and recognition. "The
'PLUNGE' was designed to be a
service-learning experience
based on reflection opportuni-
ties," said Diana Anderson,
Director of Special Activity
Programs. She further stated,
"Many participants experienced
meaningful service which is
about dignity and growth of the
giver and receiver."
Bedison stated, "We couldn't be
much happier with the turn-out
and response from the partici-
pants. We are already planning
for next year using the sugges-
tions we received." She further
stated, "What makes the
'PLUNGE' all the more worth-
while are the people who had fun
and came back excited with great
stories to tell during the reflec-

LEAD STORY
•Among recent passings of
note: In January, in Columbus,
Ohio, Mr. M.S. Tooill; and in
Arlington, Va., Mr. W.M. Croker;
and in December in Oklahoma
City, Mr. William Death. In
February, a 44-year-old man was
killed on the shoulder of 1-95 in
Rhode Island after being hit by a
truck while standing between two
other trucks — one hauling gran-
ite slabs for tombstones and the
other belonging to the Yates
Casket Co. And three weeks ear-
lier, a 23-year-old man was killed
in Fallston, Md., when his car
smashed into a truck carrying
burial vaults.
WEIRD SCIENCE
•Two Danish scientists, writing
in the journal Nature in
December, reported finding a
previously unknown, 0.01 -inch-
long organism whose habitat is
the lips of Norwegian lobsters.
Among the characteristics of the
Symbion pandora: It can repro-
duce either sexually or asexually,
and though it is born with a brain,
the brain completely disappears
during adolescence and reappears
at the onset of adulthood.
•In December, surgeon Isam
Felahy removed an inch-long tree
sprig from the right lung of 16-
year-old Tracy Mcintyre in
Stockton, Calif. Tracy had appar-
ently inhaled it in 1980 from the
family Christmas tree. The sprig,
which was still green, was appar-
enUy also the source of Tracy's
notoriously bad breath.
•In December, scientists at the
Japan Atomic Power Co. in
Takasaki reported that bombard-
ing cheap wine and whiskey with
a deadly (for humans) dose of
gamma rays actually improved
the taste. According to researcher
Hiroshi Watanabe, irradiation
supplies a blending that poorly
made wine and whiskey lack, and
in fact, he predicts that irradiation
will be used by the year 2000 to
improve the taste of many com-
mon foods. (However, Watanabe
admits that irradiating good wine
and whiskey makes them taste
worse.)
•In December, United Nations
health organizations -announced
stepped-up campaigns against
several African maladies, includ-
ing Guinea worm disease. The
disease manifests itself within a
year of a person's ingesting water
fleas infected with the larvae, at
which point stringlike worms up
to 3 feet long emerge from
painful blisters.
•An October Houston
Chronicle report on University of
Texas biochemist Barrie Kitto
revealed that currently the only
way government inspectors can
detect microscopic feces in cere-
al grain (to ascertain whether the
allowable two rat pellets per kilo-
gram of grain has been exceeded)
is through visual inspection. Dr.
Kitto has developed a substance
sensitive to the feces that will
turn a sample green to make
inspection easier.

writing in the August issue of the
journal Consultant, described a

case of "megacolon," a condition
in which feces are retained in the
colon for an abnormally long
time. In the case reported, a 27-
year-old man had 12 pounds of
feces surgically removed.
CULTURAL DWERSITY
•The municipal council of Kota
Bahru in northeastern Malaysia,
a city controlled by an Islamic
party, announced in January that
it would require citizens who
deal with the government, such
as those who line up to make
license and utility payments, to
be segregated by gender, to pro-
hibit excessive mingling.
•The city of Bacolod in the
Philippines endured a rash of
cemetery thefts during the sum-
mer, as a gang of thieves dug up
graves to steal corpses' kneecaps,
which are thought by some
Filipinos to have magical proper-
ties. The kneecaps were ground
into powder and burned outside
homes in order to put residents to
sleep so they would be easy tar-
gets for the gang's burglaries.
•A court in Grenaa, Denmark,
announced it would soon impose
a higher fine on a woman
because she refuses to change the
spelling of the name of her son,
"Christopher," which is unap-
proved by the ministry that regu-
lates names. She has paid about
$18 a week since 1989, and the
fine will go up to about $91 in
March. Chris is now 8 years old,
and so far his name has cost the
woman almost $5,000 in fines,
but she insisted the uniqueness
was worth it.
•According to a September
report from Madagascar in
Financial Times, the
Randrianaivo family's "famadi-
hana" celebration was a success.
In famadihana, every five years
or so, a respected family member
is disinterred and communed
with, supposedly to help the
soul's transition into being a spir-
it for the living family members.
Bones are wrapped in white
shrouds, caressed and danced
with.
•In November, Knight-Ridder
News Service reported that the
government in Nanning, China,
was levying fines of about $1.50
for anyone who orders more food
in restaurants than he can eat.
PEOPLE WITH TOO
MUCH TIME ON THEIR
HANDS
•A study of 12,000 people by
University of North Carolina
researchers, released in
December, revealed that people
who drink lots of beer have large
bellies but most people who
drink lots of wine don' l.
•In December, the Arizona
Republic profiled animal psy-
chologist Krista Cantrell, who
says her success is because she
can communicate telepathically
with dogs and therefore get to the
bottom of most master-dog rela-
tionship problems. Several satis-
fied clients sang praises for
Cantrell's work, including even
the owner of a horse that was on
the verge of being put to sleep but
was able to tell Cantrell that he
was simply overmedicated. (Five
weeks later, the horse won a
race.)
•A mental health facility in
Kansas City, Mo., set up a
"Chiefs Grief Hotline" for dis-
traught fans trying to deal with
the football team's loss to the
Indianapolis Colts in January to
end its Super Bowl hopes.
Aaron's Pick of the Week:Acoustic Sounds
by Aaron Davis
Lifestyles Writer
This week I will be talking
about a lesser-known, mostly
acoustic group, Lowen and
Navarro. Their latest release,
"Pendulum", does contain some
electric guitar, but mostly is
acoustic, including a cello and a
violin. They are a group that is,
in many ways, similar to the
Dave Matthews Band and Blues
Traveler. Although they do pos-
sess some of the same qualities,
they are not copy-cat musicians.
The major similarity is that all of
these bands are music -oriented,
not lyric oriented. All play music
that you can feel.
"Pendulum" starts off with the
upbeat song, "Looks Like
Sunshine." "Pendulum" and
"Cry", the next two songs are not
anything that stands out. The
string arrangement added to
"Spring Is Late This Year" helps
to make this an absolutely won-
derful song. You can feel the
despair that they feel about wait-

ing for something worthwhile.
This is the best song on the CD,
by far.
The next song worth noting is
"Until the Well Runs Dry."
Continuing in their trend of writ-
ing about relationships, this song
talks of how difficult it is to make
it on your own. "Keep the Light
Alive" is another great slower
song. It talks of a love, and how
he will help her through anything
she encounters.
"Nobody Knows" talks about
how many people will act as
though they know what is going
on in your life, but never can get
in close enough to see what is
really there. The next to last
song, "Through a Child's Lyes,"
is another good track. It talks
about the wonder that he feels
when his love makes him feel
young again. This CD is, over-
all, a very good piece of work. It
probably deserves more recogni-
tion than it gets. It is a wonderful
CD to relax to. I wouldn't say
that it is a great CD, but it is a
very good one.

Food for Thought: Chandler improvements
by Brian Hoover
The response and reply board
has been overflowing since the
last issue of the Clarion Call was
out. So I decided that this week I
would take the time to point out
some of the changes that have
come about through your efforts.
First of all, as I eluded to in my
last article, the fries are much
warmer. How was that accom-
plished, you ask? Well, let me tell
you. Instead of taking the fries
from the fryer to a warmer they
are going directly to the line. This
keeps the fries from getting hard
and rubbery. Now you should be
getting your fries the way you
like them, fresh, warm and del-
ish.
All those requesting garlic
bread were happy to find an
abundant supply of those vam-
pire warding sticks on the LitUe
Italy line. Many of you talked to
me after consuming them and
told me how much you liked
them. This led me to believe that
our next step at Chandler should
be to provide breath mints for all
of its garlic bread fans.
In our never ending quest to
educate the masses about what is
in the food you are eating we
have made a few additions at
Chandler. The Nutri Team (the
farm animals dressed in cooking
apparel) is out in full force on the
cereal containers and above the
soup explaining what you are eat-
ing. I've had several requests
from students who wanted nutri-
tional information on the cereal
and soup and also from students
wanting to know what kind of
soup they were eating. Now you
have it. Speaking of soup, there
have been requests for soup
spoons in Chandler, so. request
granted! Hundreds have been
spotted in the cafe wielding soup
spoons in their hands and smiles
on their faces. Cha Ching.
Also by request we have pro-
vided new tea flavors, sweet and
sour sauce, blue cheese dressing,
ginger ale, more lunch in your
brunch, root beer on two lines,
and coffee creamers just to name
a few things. So I guess what I
am saying is thank you for all
your input. Your efforts are not in
vain as you can see all of the

The Clarion Call
March 14, 1996
Today, as part of our series,
The Human Brain, So To Speak,
we explore the phenomenon of
Brain Sludge.
"Brain Sludge" is a term coined
by leading scientists to describe
the vast collection of moronic
things that your brain chooses to
remember instead of useful
information.
For example: Take any group of
100 average Americans, and sing
to them, "Come and listen to my
story 'bout a man named Jed." At
least 97 of them, will immediate-
ly sing, "A poor mountaineer,
barely kept his family fed." They
will sing this even if they are
attending a funeral. They can't
help it.
This particular was of sludge —
known to scientists as "The
Beverly Hillbillies Theme Song
Wad" — is so firmly lodged in
the standard American brain lobe
that it has become part of our
national DNA, along with the
"Gilligan's Island" wad. If a
newborn American infant were
abandoned in the wilderness and
raised by wolves without any
human contact or language, there
would nevertheless come a day
when he or she would blurt out,
without having any idea what it
meant: "A THREE-hour tour!"
And the wolves would sing
along. That's how pervasion
brain sludge is.
What is the root of this prob-
lem? Like most human defects,
such as thigh fat, the original
cause is your parents. Soon after
you were born, your parents
noticed that you were, function-
ally, an idiot, as evidenced by the
fact that you spent most of your
waking hours trying to eat your
own feet. So they decided to put
something into your brain, but
instead of information you'd
actually NEED later — for exam-
Tip the scales I in your favor.
Attend the 1996 summer session and you'll...
• Enhance your marketability...
• Complete certificate requirements in only 12 weeks...
• Become part of one of the fastest growing occupations in America...
• Earn your credential from the only ABA-approved
program in Western Pennsylvania.

pie, the PIN number to your ATM
card — they sang drivel to you,
the same drivel that parents have
been dumping into their chidren's
brains since the Middle Ages,
such as "Pop Goes The Weasel,
"Itsy Bitsy Spider" and
"Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog."
Your parents thought they were
stimulating your mind, but in fact
they were starting the sludge-
buildup process, not realizing
that every cretinous word they
put into your brain would stay
there FOREVER, so that decades
later you'd find yourself waking
up in the middle of the night
wondering: "Why? WHY did
she cut off their tails with a carv-
ing knife?"
But your parents aren't the real
problem. The REAL problem, the
nuclear generator of brain sludge,
is television. Here's a little test
for those readers out there who
are approximately 48 years old.
How many of you know what the
Fourth Amendment to the
Constitution says? Let's see those
hands . . . one . . . two . . . GEE, I
count nine people. Now, how
many of you remember the theme
song to the 1950s TV show
"Robin Hood?" .
Thousands of you! Me, too!
Everybody join in:
"Robin Hood, Robin Hood rid-
ing through the glen!
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with
his band of men!
Feared by the bad! Loved by
the good!
Robin Hood! Robin Hood!
Robin Hood!
My brain also contains theme
songs to early TV shows about
Daniel Boone ("Daniel Boone
was man, yes a BIG man!");
Zorro ("The fox so cunning and
free! He makes the sign of the
Z!") and Bat Masterson ("He
wore a cane and derby hat! They
called him Bat!")
I am not proud of this, but I can
name only five Supreme Court
justices (one of whom sticks out
in my mind solely because of the
term "pubic hair' ') ; whereas I
can name six Mousketeers.
Of course, the densest layer of
sludge consists of commercial
jingles for products that no
longer exist. Your brain assigns
the highest priority to these.
That's why, although I honestly
cannot name the current secretary
of defense, I can sing:
"Pamper, Pamper, new sham-
poo!
Gentle as a lamb, so right for
you!
Gentle as a lamb? Yes, ma'am!
Pamper, Pamper, new sham-
poo!"
My brain also loves to remind
me that my beer is Rheingold, the
dry beer; think of Rheingold
whenever you buy beer! Brush-a,
brush-a, brush-a! New Ipana
toothpaste! With the brand-new
flavor! It's a dandy for your
teeeeeth!
Here's how pathetic my brain
is: If if FORGETS some worth-
less piece of brain sludge, it
drops everything else and
become obsessed with RECALL-
ING it. For example, right now
my brain is devoting all available
resources to remembering the
name of the candy featured in the
following jingle:
(NAME OF CANDY) goes a
long, long way!
If you have one head, it lasts all
day!
This is currently my brain's
Manhattan Project; it will think
of nothing else. A lot of people
have this problem, and society
pays a price for it:
CONTROL TOWER: Flight
8376, you're descending way
too...
PILOT: Tower, could you settle
something? Was it (singing)
"Brylcream, a little bit' 11 do ya?"
CO-PILOT: Hah! Told you so!
TOWER: No, it was (singing)
"a little dab' 11 do ya."
PILOT: Tower, are you sure?
TOWER: Definitely, "dab. ' '
Now, about your descent rate ...
Hello? Flight 8376? HELLO?
Yes, brain sludge is a leading
cause of needless tragedy, which
is why I'm asking you to join in
the fight against it. How? Simple:
Write a letter to senators and con-
gresspersons DEMANDING that
they appropriate $500 million for
a study to for God's sake find out
what kind of candy lasts all day if
you have one head. And if there
is any money left over, we should
hire professional assassins to
track down whoever wrote:
"My bologna has a first name!
It's..."

Thank you.
Tina's Choice: Obscure but Good
by Tina Mat this
Lifestyles Writer
It's time to review another total-
ly obscure band— that most prob-
ably have never heard before.
Sunny Day Real Estate's self-
titled second album is just as
incredible as their debut album
"Diary." All four members of the
band are probably the most tal-
ented musicians in popular music
today. If you have never heard of
Sunny Day Real Estate before,
don't feel left out, most people
haven't. And most of those who
do know who they are know
them from their song "8" (also on
the new album), which appeared
on the "Batman Returns" sound-
track. Another possibility is
because bassist Nate Mendel and
drummer William Goldsmith
now play with the Foo Fighters.
Throughout the whole album,
Jeremy Enigk's vocals slice
through the music, almost whin-
ing and yet compelling one to
yearn for more. I would have to
say that some may have to get
used to Enigk's voice to truly
enjoy the greatness of this band.
Others may love it with no prob-

We have great homemade french fries
lem. Everything is so intricate on
this album, the bass lines are
doing gymnastics behind a steady
drumbeat, while the guitars wail
and emit such emotion, it is
almost too impossible to
describe.
My picks on this last album
from Sunny Day Real Estate are
"Theo B" and "Red Elephant."
Both are melodic and deep, pow-
erful and fragile, all at the same
time. It's a real shame that the
talent that was combined when
this band came together a few
years ago has been tarnished by
bickering and squabbling over
the trading of exploring music
and talent for money and fame.
But it's wonderful to know that
they released two great albums,
and rumors are in the air that
Enigk (who also plays guitar) and
Dan Hoerner, the other guitarist
of Sunny Day Real Estate are
working on another project. I see
it as my duty to keep you posted
for that one!

Famous U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet
During the non-snow off season the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team
members used the "Ski Team" diet to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. That's
right - 20 pounds in 14 days! The basis of the diet is chemical food
action and was devised by a famous Colorado physician especially for
the U.S. Ski Team. Normal energy is maintained (very important!) while
reducing. You keep full" - no starvation - because the diet is designed
that way. It's a diet that is easy to follow whether you work, travel or stay
at home. (For men, too!)
This is, honestly, a fantastically successful diet. If it weren't, the U.S.
Women's Alpine Ski Team wouldn't be permitted to use it! Right? So,
give yourself the same break the U.S. Ski Team gets. Lose weight the
scientific, proven way. Even if you've tried all the other diets, you owe it to
yourself to try the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet. That is, if you
really do want to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. Order today! Tear this out
as a reminder.
Send only S8.95 (S9.60 in Calif.)-add .50 cents RUSH service to:
American Institute, 7343 El Camino Real, Suite 206, Atascadero, CA

New social fraternity makes beautiful music
by Jason Campbell
Phi Mu Alpha
"There is a commitment to
music, a commitment to creating
something beautiful, a commit-
ment to making something hap-
pen in the lives of Americans and
in the world. There is a call in
this world for men to stand up
and be men by fulfilling our
obligation to music."
This call has been heard on
Clarion's campus and close to
twenty students and/or faculty
members have decided to answer
it through the creation of a new
social fraternity.
Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, the
p.m. and all are encouraged to
attend.
The musical selections for the
evening will range from jazz
numbers to American tunes to
songs from a barbershop quartet.
Other ensembles that will be per-
forming include a trumpet trio.
This recital will be the group's
first annual one and will incorpo-
rate the musical skills of every
brother.
To be a member of this social
fraternity, you do not need to be
enrolled in a performing organi-
zation; however, it is essential to
possess a love for music and be
able to demonstrate a substan-
tial mastery of talent in the field
"Famous or not,
Sinfonians are woven
together by a common
thread-Music"
-Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity
national title of this new frater-
nity, was founded in 1898 at
Boston's New England
Conservatory as a means of uni-
fying the male music students.
Since then, it has grown into the
largest music fraternity in the
world with over 120,000 initiates
and chapters on nearly 200 col-
lege and university campuses
across the United States.
The process is now underway to
create one of these chapters on
the campus of Clarion University.
This process that these individ-
uals must go through is broken
down into three phases detailed
by the National Headquarters.
This group, known as the
Pennsylvania Alpha colony, has
been working hard since the first
weeks of this current semester to
battle through its first phase.
They will hopefully complete
this first phase close to the end of
this semester.
One of the last steps in this
phase is to complete a recital.
The group is currently planning
a recital which will be held on
Sunday, March 31, 1996. It will
be in the Marwick-Boyd Fine
Arts Center Auditorium at 7:30
of music.
This is necessary to fulfill the
purposes of Sinfonia: (1) to
encourage and actively promote
the highest standards of creativi-
ty, performance, education, and
research in music in America;
(2) to develop and encourage loy-
alty to the Alma Mater; (3) to
foster the mutual welfare and
brotherhood of students of music;
(4) to develop the truest fraternal
spirit among its members; and (5)
to instill in all people an aware-
ness of music's important role in
the enrichment of the human
spirit.
Phi Mu Alpha is built upon tra-
dition and excellence set forth by
previous brothers including such
famous men as: Aaron Copland,
Burl Ives, Bill Conti, Chuck
Mangione, Andy Griffith,
Branford Marsalis, Duke
Ellington, Count Basie, Carl
"Doc" Severinson, Morton
Gould, (Mr.) Fred Rogers,
Arthur Fiedler, Vincent
Persichetti, Luciano Pavarotti,
Stan Kenton, Robert Merrill, and
many more.

thread - music."
Each year, Sinfonia strives to
fulfill their goals through a wide
range of activities emphasizing
brotherhood, service and perfor-
mance in music.
Through its partner organiza-
tion, The Sinfonia Foundation,
Phi Mu Alpha has provided thou-
sands of dollars for research in
American music, scholarships,
matching grants in support of
worthwhile chapter projects, and
the commissioning of new music.
In addition, chapters provide
scholarship grants and tutoring
on campus.
Today, in Clarion, the spirit of
the founding fathers of Phi Mu

hearts, minds, and actions of the
local brothers.

Seven wrestlers on their way to Nationals
Wrestlers finish third at EWL's
By Chris Pfeil
Sports Writer
The Clarion Golden Eagle
Wrestling team took only nine
wrestlers to this past weekends
EWL tournament held at
Bloomsburg University, but came
away with four individual cham-
pionships, qualified seven
wrestlers for the NCAA Division
I Nationals in Minnesota, and fin-
ished third overall as a team.
West Virginia ended Clarion's
two-year reign as EWL
Champions with a total of 122.5
points, edging Lock Haven, who
finished second with 122 points.
Clarion ended with 119.5 points,
only three points away from
pulling off a three-peat, despite
not having an entry at 134
pounds.
Sheldon Thomas picked up his
second EWL title in three years at
118. Thomas defeated West
Virginia's Chad Billy 4-0 to> win
the championship and up his
record to 27-4.
"I had a good year, but I'm
wresUing my best and peaking
right now. This is the position
that I wanted to be in at this point
in the season," commented All-
American Sheldon Thomas.
Chris Marshall won the tide at
126 pounds, becoming only the
twelfth freshman to win an EWL
title. Marshall improved his
record to 29-8 with a 6-4 over-
time decision over Lock Haven's
Terry Showalter.
Paul Antonio, a senior, won his
first EWL title at 158. Antonio
defeated West Virginia's Scott
Hage 9-7, upping his season
record to 22-5.
" A lot of people are cutting
weight right now, and I'm where
I want to be. There is a lot of
room to be an ail-American and
I'm really confident," stated
Antonio.
Bryan Stout, 190 pounds also
won his first EWL title. The two-
time All-American edged Pitt's
Marc Bodo 1-0 improving his
record to 22-1. Stout placed
eighth at nationals in 1994 and
fourth last year.
"I feel I had a good year. The
loss gave me a wakeup call. I
wasn't prepared. I don't feel
overwrestled right now, and
hopefully I can get everything to
come together, physically and
mentally," commented two-time
All-American Bryan Stout.
Ken Porter, Juggy Franklin, and
Darren Jarina fell short of win-
ning EWL titles, but still were
good enough to qualify for
nationals.
Porter, 24-8, finished second to
WVU's Jason Frable in a thrilling
3-1 match at 158 pounds.
"My intensity level is up.
Coach helped me a lot, and I def-
initely think that I can be an All-

American. I'm at the rise of my take your lumps. I could have
peak, and hopefully it hits next
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday,"
explained Porter. Franklin, 8-5,
will make his first trip to nation-
als after finishing third at 177.
Jarina, 17-12, also finished
third. The freshman
Heavyweight will round out the
list of seven Golden Eagles on
their way to Minnesota.
"Throughout the season you
done better, but I made Nationals
which was my goal. Now I just
have to wrestle," commented
Jarina.
Coach Jack Davis' squad fin-
ished with a 5-6-2 record, despite
facing one of the toughest sched-
ules in the nation. Clarion hopes
to add a few more names to the
list of seven individual national
champions.
Golden Eagle baseball ready to roll
By Brett Skovera
Sports Writer
It's about that time of the year
again. Time for the Golden Eagle
baseball team to break out the
hardware and prepare for the sea-
son under eighth year head
coach, Rich Herman.
Last season the Golden Eagles
finished four wins shy of a .500
record. "Last year versus non-
conference teams we played our
brand of ball, loose and aggres-
sive.
Against conference teams we
were to nervous, we wanted to
win too bad," remarked Herman.
At 17-21 a season ago, 5-15 in
PS AC- West play, the Golden
Eagles look to improve on the
numbers that kept them from
being competitive last season.
"We can challenge conference
teams without getting nervous.
Let the chips fall as they may."
In the infield Clarion should
look something like this. At first
returns PSAC-West second team
selection Ryan Keenan.
Last season Keenan hit .357 with
2 homeruns and 14 rbi's.
A backup for two seasons,
junior Bill Bates who hit .321 a
year ago seems more than ready
to take on the starting role at sec-
ond. Shortstop will see both Phil
Pegher and Jeremy Young.
Pegher, a part-time starter for two
seasons hit .276 last year.
The hot corner will be occupied
by both Chad Chlebowski and
Chris Pfeil. Chlebowski only a
sophomore, led the Golden
Eagles last season with a .392
average.
Pfeil, a part-time starter in '95
hit .259 with 11 rbi's. The duties
behind the dish will be handled
by junior Don Biertempfel,
sophomore Don Schmidt, and
also freshman Shawn Marrow.
Biertempfel, a two year starter,
hit .271 a season ago.
Sophomore Steve Franz will
most likely handle the designated
hitter spot. "One of the main
keys to success is being strong up
the middle. This year we're
strong and have speed," said
Herman.
In the outfield returns experi-
ence. Seniors Chad McCombs
and Chris Skultety along with
juniors Scott Weir and Chris
Lomberdo should lead the way.
One attribute the outfield won't
lack is speed.
McCombs, Skultety, Weir, and
Lombardo combined for 35
stolen bases and were only
caught five times between the
four of them. "Very good speed.
It has been a trademark of our
outfield and continues this sea-
son," remarked Herman.
McCombs a second team
PSAC-West choice last season
hit .345 and led the Golden
Eagles with 30 hits. Also expect
to see Chad on the mound at
times. Skultety a senior, led
Clarion last season with 12 stolen
bases, scored 14 runs, and hit
.260.
A two year starter in center,
Scott Weir was 8 for 8 in the
stolen base department and is
looking to hit somewhere around
the .369 he hit as a freshman.
Off to a fast start in '95,
Lombardo started out at .316 but
was side-lined halfway through
the season with an ankle injury.
The pitching staff will be led by
lefties Jason Knight and Bill
Cook. Knight, a three year
starter, saw 42.2 innings and
posted a 3-5 record to go along
with his 41 strikeouts.
Cook, a junior, was 3-4 last
year, threw 36.2 innings and
posted a 4.67 ERA. Also expect-
ed to contribute on the mound are
seniors Scott Feldman, Bob
Hooks, and Ron Talik.
Feldman, who earned second
team PSAC-West honors last
year, boasted an outstanding 1.15
ERA along with a 1-0 record and
3 saves.
Hooks, noted for a strong arm,
was 1-2 last season and hopes to
give the Golden Eagles power in
a right hander. Sophomores
Mark Sprickman and Doug
Watson also plan on seeing plen-
ty of action.
Sprickman was 3-0 as a fresh-
man with a 4.97 ERA. "This
team is capable of scoring runs
which should take some pressure
off of the pitching," stated
Herman. "This is one of the most
solid staffs we've had. If they
believe in themselves and
defense holds up, we'll win
games."
Clarion recenUy returned from
their annual spring trip to Cocoa
Expo, Florida.
The Golden Eagles dropped
games against Florida Tech,
Northwood, Mercyhurst, and
Kings but beat St. Scholastica
and Concord twice.
While in Florida, sophomores
Chad Chlebowski and Steve
Franz both hit over .500.
Chlebowski hit .565 collecting
13 hits and 11 rbi's, while Franz
hit an even .500 with 7 hits.
Senior outfielders Chad
McCombs and Chris Skultety
also showed what they're capable
of hitting.
McCombs finished the trip with
1 1 hits and a .393 average while
Skultety finished at .421 with 8
hits. Transfer Jeremy Young fin-
ished his trip at .382 with 13 hits.
Jason Knight, Travis Jordon,
and Mark Sprickman all got vic-
tories. Knight finished with 11
K's in 12 innings, Jordon with 6,
and Sprickman with 8.
The Golden Eagles begin their
regular season by hosting
Gannon,March 19th, and follow
up with LaRoche College on the
22nd, and St. Vincent the 24th.

March 14, 1996
The Penalty Box and NCAA's
By Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
Welcome back to the Penalty
Box, where the "madness" is 365
days a year.
LET IT BEGIN Finally, after
an exhilarating week of half court
bombs and conference tourna-
ment upsets, the NCAA tourna-
ment is here. Soon after reading
this article the first round games
will be under way, so let me give
you the Penalty Box's final four
predictions:
Let's start in the best bracket by
far, the east. The east is loaded
with talent. A potential east final
between IJMASS and
Georgetown might just produce
the best game of the entire tour-
nament. That's if they make it,
which I think they will. Any true
Clarion-ite would have to root for
Clarion grad John Calipari and I
am. Out of the east bracket, I
take IJMASS.
In the southeast regional,
UCONN comes in on the wave of
its Big East tournament victory,
but I don't think they are the best
team in the southeast.
Cincinnati has the complete
inside-outside punch with Danny
Fortson and Damon Flint.
Fortson has an incredible reper-
toire of post moves and if he can
stay out of foul trouble, look for
Cincinnati to advance to the
Meadowlands.
Let's go out west, where Purdue
was "given" the top seed basical-
ly by default. No Big Ten team
deserved a number one seed but
with Kansas losing in their con-
ference tournament, who else
was going to get it?
Don't look for Purdue to hang
around long, they won't make it
past the Sweet 16.
Kansas will win the west, riding
the tournament experience of
Jacques Vaugn and company.
The midwest was supposed to
feature the number one and most
elite team in the field, Kentucky.
Their loss in the SEC tournament
final put some doubt in that, but
that loss might have been the
wake up call Kentucky needed.
Look for Kentucky to win the
midwest handily.
Don't take these predictions to
me bank, there are always sleep-
ers and Cinderella's out there
waiting to upset. The great thing
about the NCAA tourney is that
you just don't know.
A "NEW" TRADITION
With Montreal's forum closing
this week after approximately
700 years of hockey tradition, has
any one noticed that all the great
hockey arena's are slowly disap-
pearing?
In the past couple of years the
NHL has lost the Boston Garden,
Chicago Stadium and the Forum
to new venues. Penguin fans
need not fret, the Igloo won't
close until Mario retires and then
about 20 years from that happen-
ing the new, "Lemieux Center"
will open up.
RFPI.AY THE "REPLAY"
The NFL has got to reiiterate the
instant replay next year. Who
cares if it takes a couple of min-
utes to review plays? The games
are three hours anyway, what's a
couple more minutes? It will
result in a better officiated game,
and no excuses afterwards.
STOP THAT COMMERCIAL'
Isn't it about lime ESPN stops
playing the Sports Illustrated
video commercial featuring the
Dallas Cowboys?
The Superbowl was over
months ago. They'll probably
stop running it just in time for the
Sports Illustrated NCAA champi-
ons video to be made. Oh, I can't
wait for that. See ya next week
from the Penalty Box.
Lady Golden Eagles prepare for season
By Ben Keen
Assistant Sports Editor
The snow is starting to melt and
the temperatures are beginning to
rise. With the coming of spring
comes womens' softball and no
one is looking forward to it more
than the Golden Eagle softball
team.
Lead by first year head coach
Gerri Condo the Lady Eagles
seem poised and ready to contend
for the PS AC- West
Championship. The Eagles lost
only one player to graduation and
have aquired some quality fresh-
men resulting in one of the deep-
est Clarion softball teams in
years. With three or four players
ready and able to play at each
position the Eagles are expecting
big things.
Having just returned from a
successful five-game trip in
Florida, the team feels they have
a lot to be excited about. Coach
Condo said, "The teams we
played in Florida are the same
type of competition we will be

facing in the PS AC and we really
hit the ball well." The Golden
Eagles faced Florida Tech,
Oakland C.C., Northwood
College, and Nova University to
compile a 4-3 preseason record.
Now that the team is back from
Florida and practicing in Tippin
Gym, the team is trying to iron
out any wrinkles for their March
23 opener against Westminster at
home.
Returning to the mound for the
Lady Eagles are juniors Sonya
Hafer and Kelly Kopshever and
freshman Robin Kolacek may see
some time as well. Catcher
Jessica Chesnoski said, "Our
pitching is very good."
Sonya has the experience and
Kelly is ready to jump in and
contibute.
They have both picked up some
new pitches and are really pitch-
ing their best."
Defensively the Eagles are very
solid and their outfield is
extremely fast.
Returning to the infield are
seniors Leslie Schattauer,
Danene Brown, and juniors Rose
Wilson and Trade Mathis.
The outfield is returning all of
their starters, senior Melodi Dess,
junior Julie Catalano, and sopho-
more Steph Hoffman.
With the added depth, they can
keep players fresh and have a
back up in case of any injuries.
Offensively the Eagles will rely
on senior Leslie Schattauer who
led the team last year with a .388
average, 33 hits, 8 doubles, 16
RBI's and 14 walks.
The team will also rely on the
bat of senior Danene Brown who
hit .234 last year including 6
triples and 4 solen bases.
Other offensive Contibutors
include junior Rose Wilson who
hit .347 with 11 RBI's last sea-
son.
Sophomores Jessica Chesnoski
and Stephanie Bollard are
expected to help out at the plate
as well.
With their home opener right
around the corner the Lady
Eagles are filled with anticipa-
tion, especially Chesnoski who
said, "Our team expects to reach
the playoffs and this could be our
best season yet."
With a competitive PS AC
schedule ahead, the Lady Eagles
have their work cut out for them
but seem ready to face the chal-
lenge.

Laying it on the line
By Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
Welcome back to another edi-
tion of Laying it on the line. I
guess we'll call this the St.
Patrick's Day edition.
•Can someone please explain to
me why the Pittsburgh Steelers
constantly make the worst off-
season roster moves in the
league?
I really feel bad for Bill
Cowher. Year after year he leads
this team through all of the
adversity that a normal season
consists of, and is rewarded in the
post season every year by losing
every free-agent that can possibly
p
be lost.
•Most people would agree that
the objective of an NFL team is
to win the Super Bowl. The
Steelers were very close to doing
that last year, but who knows
what will happen this year?
Jim Miller, Kordell Stewart, or
Mike Tomczak, who is older than
George Burns?
Take your pick because it does-
n't matter? The Steelers better
develop a big time ground game
quickly.
What about the draft? Insiders
say the Steelers are looking at
fullback Tom Alstott of Purdue,
as well as some offensive line-
men. Alstott would be a great

"Best selection around and best sound"
asset, but what quarterback will
he be blocking for? Mark
Malone, Bubby Blister, or heav-
en forbid Cliff Stoudt? The
Steelers make me sick and I'm
done griping. Tom Donahoe and
the rest of the gang will have the
Steelers fans to answer to when,
time after time the defense shuts
down opponents next year and
the offense fails.
•I really like the direction the
Pirates are headed in by signing
all of their starters through next
season. Call me crazy, or call me
a fool, but a pitcher who can get
someone out would really be
cool. Jim Leyland will need a
miracle from the heavens in order
for the Buccos to turn it around
this season. Next year is looking
better every day.
•As most know, I'm not a Penn
State fan. So to keep with that
tradition I offer a tournament pre-
diction.
The Nittany Lion men's basket-
ball team will fall to Arkansas in
the first round of the NCAA tour-
nament. The main reason being
that the Bryce Jordan Center is
not mobile, and since the Lions
couldn't beat the Sligo
Recreation team on the road,
don't count on any of the so-
called "March Madness" coming
from coach Dunn and the boys.
•Have any of you seen the pro-
mos for this Saturday's Tyson-
Bruno fight?
Bruno is a pug, and the only
thing he is ready for is a good
old-fashioned butt whippin. The
only real question is what round
will Bruno go down in?
I'm sure Don King is the only
one who knows the answer to this
question, so we'll wait and see.
This week in Intramurals
By Scott Horvath
Sports Writer
Taking a look back at the 5 on
5 basketball tournament, it was
full of non-stop action, and the
championship games were no
different.
In the men's championship
game, Pimps and Players faced
off against Just Crumblin Erb.
The full court atmosphere proved
positive for Pimps and Players as
they nailed seven three-pointers
led by Chris Bellis with 21
points.
Scott Walters added 18, and
Bob Montrose added 17 for the
winners. Bill "Mule" Sinclair
also scored a whopping two
points for the champions in limit-
ed bench play. Just Crumblin Erb
was led by Steve Branch with 19
points.
In the women's championship
game, Boes rolled over T2 58-36.
Boes also took advantage of the
three-point arc as they drained
eight treys.
In the continuing billiards elim-
ination rounds, Chenita Patterson
became one of the women's qual-
ifiers. Now rolling over to the
bowling league, last night
marked the last night of regular
season action, with the playoffs
starting next week. The
Gutterballers and No Contest
look strong, but KDR 1 and Blue
are possibles to win it all.
The wrestling tournament will
be held tonight. Weigh-ins are at
3:00 p.m. and the tournament
starts at 7:00 p.m.
The inner tubes are in, and the
water polo league will be starting
soon. Be sure to watch for sched-
ules and matchups.
Sunday night is the Euchre
tournament. The tournament will
be held in the Gemmell Snack
Bar.

Survey to identify student concerns
Faculty Senate Committee solicitates student opinion
By Matt Geesey
News Editor
The Student Affairs
Committee, charged by Faculty
Senate, has been assigned to
develop a student opinion
survey.
On Friday, March 8, the
Student Affairs Committee
began to collect information at
opinion tables located around
campus.
The committee is chaired by
Dr. Kathleen Smith, a professor
in the education department. She
stated over 100 concerns were
expressed at the general opinion
tables.
Some of the suggestions
involved the library purchasing
more books, more periodicals,
extending hours, and developing
Internet hookups for the
computers.
Other concerns addressed by
students are the lack of laser
printers on campus, Netscape
utilization for dormitory
computers, more parking, the
lack of convenient summer
school schedules, the change of
Spring Break (to make it
coincide with other schools), and
increased attendance for classes.
A student art gallery has been
mentioned. One student
suggested that more surveys and
polls should be conducted so
people can express their
opinions.
The committee met last Friday
to review the various concerns
that had been collected.
According to Smith, the
committee will meet sometime
within the next few weeks to
further collate the data.
The Faculty Senate committee
will identify the major concerns
and issues. It will then try to
develop questions related to
concerns.
Smith says mat her committee

hopes to get a prepared survey to
the student body by the end of
the semester.
The survey will be out in
September if it isn't fully
completed by the end of this
semester.
Clarion University has also
been asked to devise five to ten
questions for the State System of
Higher Education (SSHF).
According to Dr. Frank Gerry,
Assistant to the Vice -Chancellor
for Academic Affairs, mere is a
survey that is currently beins
drafted.
It should be completed in
November of this year. SSHF is
deciding who the survey is sent
to and what types of questions
should be asked. This is part of
the long range planning process
of SSI IE.
Part of the system's goal is to
find out how students feel about
what their schools offer. This
survey will help SSHF identify
what changes are needed within
the system.
The other members of the
Faculty Senate Committee on
Student Affairs are Dr. Hwei-Jen
Yang, Speech Communication
and Theatre: Ms. Ragan Watson,
Financial Aid; Ms. Robin
Lenox, Academic Support
Services; Dr. Gerald Thomas,
Geography/Earth Science; Dr.
Carole Anderson, Administrative
Science: and Dr. Elizabeth

Negotiations to be completed in April
Facilities Master Plan still negotiating
By Mary Beth Curry
Managing Editor
The Facilities Master Planning
committee is still negotiating
with master planning consulting
firms, giving preference to
Sasaki Associates, a business out
of Boston.
The negotiations probably
won't be completed until early
April.
The initial bid had to be
rejected due to high costs, but
the committee expects it to
come down.
"We are still negotiating with
the firm that a majority of the
members of the Facilities
Planning Committee and
President's Executive Council
felt would best meet our needs,"
said Heather Haberaecker, vice-
president of finance and
administration. "We hope to
successfully complete
negotiations in early April."
At a meeting held today at
3:30pm the committee will
discuss the negotiations and
continue the attempt to reach an
agreement with the firm.
If no agreement has been
reached after a serious
negotiations, attempt with the
next linn will besin.
They will also make a decision
as to whether the chosen firm
should begin technical work over
the summer semesters, or if the
project should wait until the
committee reconvenes again in
the fall.
The criteria for evaluating
firms does not only consider
cost.
Slating and selection is the
name of the process the State
System of Higher Education
requires universitys to use in
selecting a firm.
This process involves
evaluating firms on a list of
criteria set up by the SSHE.
Two of the firms that the
committee selected by this
process are among top 5 Master
Planning firms in the nation.
The firm should be chosen
before the end of the semester.
This way. they could possibly
begin technical work during the
summer.
However, they cannot begin
specified projects until the
Facilities Planning committee
returns in the fall.
This committee consists of
faculty, students, staff, and the
vice-presidents of all specialized
areas on campus.
The committee chair is Dr.
Joseph P. Grunenwald, Dean of
the College of Business
Administration.
Once the committee meets,
they report to Haberaecker, who
in turn reports the findings of the
committee to Diane Reinhard,
university president.
The project will be completed
over a two and a half year time
frame and could cost anywhere
from 5200,000 to $275,000,
however this cost would be
spread out over three fiscal
years.
According to Haberaecker. the
committee is doing all they can
in order to reduce the price.
The money to finance the
project will be taken from the
contingency budget which is in
place to finance one-time
expenses.
This fund is sometimes used to
supplement classes in the fall
and spring when additional
sections are needed.
Another example of a recent
expense covered by this budget
was the replacement of
equipment stolen from the
Advancement office.
Monies from this fund were
also used to dispose of hazardous
waste last year.
This was a one time only
expense because now the waste
will be removed from campus
each year, and this removal has
been budgeted for.
The fund was also used to
install emergency phones at the
Venango campus of Clarion
University.
The purpose of the plan is to
help Clarion University meet the
requirements set by the State
System of Higher Education.
The plan will provide
information and restrictions
about land use, exterior light
plans, building environmental
surveys, and landscape plans.
The plan will also try to provide
the university with a vehicular-
pedestrian circulation plan and
also help plan for university
recreation.

OPINION
Editorial
Bobbi
Russell
Does your mother or father buy you
endless and seemingly useless appli-
ances for your house, apartment, or
dorm room? Do you have an over-
abundance of smoke detectors and
fire extinguishers? I know I do. I
have three smoke detectors for a five
room house. It is always a joke
among my family and friends that
my mom is paranoid. It sometimes
drives me crazy, but for once I am
thankful.
At the beginning of the spring
semester, my mom bought me one of
those plug in carbon monoxide
detectors. I thought I would never
need to use it. Why would I, for any
reason, need a carbon monoxide
detector. I couldn't be in danger.
Well, last Thursday, I was. That
ridiculous little detector and it's
annoying alarm saved my life.
I woke up from a deep slumber at
6:00 a.m. by an annoying ringing
sound. I checked all around before I
realized that it was that stupid carbon
monoxide detector.
I thought for sure that it was a false
alarm and it was just the warning
bell. Bui. I called my parents any-
way, since I made my mom take the
box and Instruction book home
because I certainly wouldn't need
them
1 reset the alarm and went back to
bed only to be startled from sleep
once again an hour and a half later by
none other than the alarm from the
carbon monoxide detector The gas
had risen from warning to alarm
level in that amount of time. I imme-
diately called our gas company to
report our alarm.
The technician ended up coming
two times that morning, finding
nothing either time. His equipment
was not picking up the slightest
detection of carbon monoxide. Yet.
that alarm kept going off and both
my roommate and I were suffering
from headaches.
Our landlord had a furnace techni-
cian come take a look mid-morning.
In the mean time, we opened every
window to air out our house. Around
one o'clock on Thursday, there was a
huge crack found in our furnace,
emitting toxic carbon monoxide at a
very fast rate.
Apparently, the crack had happened
sometime in the previous 24 hours.
My roommate and I were exposed to
the gas all night and probably would
have suffered serious injury if we
stayed in the house one more night.
We could have died.
Luckily, we managed to walk away
from the situation with headaches
and mild nausea. We were very, very
lucky. I can never tease my mom
again for wanting me to take precau-
tions.
I can never again laugh at the end-
less supply of alarms, detectors, and
preventative devices. That carbon
monoxide detector saved my life.

A few years ago in an undergradu-

group of radicals were floating
around trying to modernize fairy
tales. We were asked to write about
our feelings on the subject. I thought
that this story would be the most
effective way to convey my message.
Hi. I know you folks probably
don't know me, but I am the one per-
son who can give you the inside
scoop on the private lives of the
"happy couple." I'm Matilda, the
palace maid, and I make sure that
everything is in order for Prince
Charming and Cinderella. For a
while, my job was easy until the hap-
pily-ever-after thing wore off. You
didn't fall for that too; did you?
Once upon a time, a beautiful
young bride came to live with the
prince in the palace. Her name was
Cinderella. Cindy for short, and she
was a real piece of work. She had
beautiful blond hair (dyed I'm sure)

I should have known something
was up when the prince brought her
to the palace for the first time. The
only possessions that she brought
with her were a glass slipper, a dog.
and a tew mice. What she needed
with the mice I will never know.
Doesn't she know that they are dis-
ease infested creatures? Anyway,
she was a real nice girl, but she
seemed lost in the big palace. The
prince took a few days off from the
"ruling thing" he does all day to take
her shopping. I mean the girl was
wearing rags for crying out loud.
The fashion police would have had a
field day with her. The prince final-
ly had to go back to work, or what-
ever it is he does, and Cindy was left
all alone in the big palace. I guess
she wasn't really alone; there were
enough servants to fill a small state.
At first I think she liked it, not hav-
ing anything to do, but then boredom
set in. I mean you can only watch so
many infomercials. The girl has
already ordered three abdominizers
and a food dehydrator. She followed
me around all day telling me about
today's topic on Oprah. She begged
me to let her help with some of the
chores. Hey, it would have been
great with me, but the prince would
have a cow if she ever lifted a finger.
The days were long with nothing for
her to do. and at night, she and the
prince would have small dinner par-
ties for a select few from the king-
dom. They seemed happy, but some-
thing was missing from Cindy's life.
She needed to occupy her time. You
can guess what that might be.
Soon the news traveled through the
kingdom. The prince and Cinderella
were the proud parents of a baby girl.
Diana. Diana was a beautiful baby,
and Cindy and the prince were very
happy to have her. Now that Cindy
was occupied with the new baby, the
prince began to work longer hours.
Days would go by and Cindy and
Diana would not see him at all The
family began to see less and less of
each other, and the prince began to
go out of town more and more.
This continued for year, and finally
Cindy had enough She decide to fix
the situation. She and Diana had
arranged for a family dinner, just the
three of them. The prince's personal
trainer was in charge of preparing the
menu: broiled fish and steamed veg-
etables. Mmmm Mmmm I was in
charge of making sure that every-
thing else was just perfect What
happened next, however, was beyond
my control.
The two waited for hours and no
word from the prince. Finally one of
the servants announced the prince
had just e-mailed the palace to
announce he would be late They
wailed and waited, and Diana finally
asked to be excused. The broken
hearted girl ran off to her room and
left Cindy alone at the table
I followed behind Diana, and saw
her sitting alone on her bed in her
room. 1 tucked her in. and read her a
story of her choice Of course, she
chose Sleeping Beauty. When I was
through, she asked me why her par-
ents couldn't be like that. "My thera-
pist told me I'm in denial.'' she said
I couldn't help but chuckle and then
I told her life doesn't always work
out the way we plan. This is real life.
Maybe I shouldn't have been so bru-
tally honest, but why let her live in a
fairy tale? This is real life, and she
better get used to it. I mean the
divorce rate is fifty percent in La La
Land. Just last week Sleeping
Beauty filed for divorce, and I've
been hearing rumors about Snow
White being caught with one of the
dwarfs. This place is falling apart.
As I headed toward the kitchen, I
thought I would stop in to make sure
that Cindy was OK, but I guess the
prince had finally come home
because I heard yelling like I've
never heard before.
"How can you do this to me? How
can you just pack up and leave your
wife and daughter for Goldilocks.
What will people think?"
"Sorry Cindy, but she's younger,
prettier, and forty pounds lighter,'"
said the prince, who was never one to
mince words.
"Well." Cindy said. "I guess she
doesn't mind your big. fat. bald

READER RESPONSES
Americans no longer tolerate military intervention in foreign countries
Dear Editor:
In the aftermath of the Vietnam
war, I think a conclusion was
reached by the ruling corporate
elite in the United States, their
servants in the CIA, and the
Pentagon, that the American
people would no longer tolerate
a massive, protracted and cosUy
military intervention in a foreign
country. Consequently, a
decision was made to use other
methods to protect their overseas
investments and access to cheap
labor.
These methods include the use
of proxy, mercenary armies like
the Contras in Nicaragua,
UNITA in Angola, and Renamo
in Mozambique. Other methods
are organizing death squads and
training people in terrible
methods of torture. These death
squads and torture are used to
eliminate or intimidate anyone
like union organizers and land
reformers that might threaten the
profits of foreign investors.
In fact, a school by the
innocuous name, "School of the
Americas," at Fort Benning,
Georgia is a training center for
assassins and torturers. Many
members of the Atlacatl
battalion who committed the El
Mozote massacre in El Salvador
were trained at this school.
Several of those who killed the
Jesuit priests in El Salvador and
those who raped and killed three
American nuns were trained
there. General Grmajo who is
responsible for many massacres
of Mayan peasants in Guatemala
attended this school.
Methods of torture that are
absolutely appalling, shocking,
and sickening are used by the
police and army in Latin
America. Eyeballs are gouged

out, fingernails pulled out,
tongues cut off, genitals
connected to electric shock
machines, people put in rubber
rooms and sirens turned on,
people's heads dunked in human
feces, and children are tortured
while their parents or relatives
are forced to watch.
When people are killed, their
corpses are hideously mutilated
and left in the streets as a lesson
to anyone who might dare to
protest against social conditions
in those countries. The Catholic
church and human rights
organizations have documented
all these human rights abuses. I
maintain that there is a logic to
all of this torture.
If someone wants to organize a
union to get more than starvation
wages from the American and
multinational corporations, this
torture and mutilation is very
intimidating and tends to make
people docile in the face of
horrible living conditions.
American workers also lose
greatly in this economic
arrangement. Their jobs are the
ones transferred to these
repressive Third World nations,
and their tax money goes to the
estimated 30 billion CIA budget
and to finance the "School of the
Americas" and provide the
training and implements of
torture for these butchers. I
believe that the greatest evil
present in the world today are
the corporate powers responsible
for this situation and who benefit
financially from it.
Ironically, some of these same
conservative corporate owners
have the unmitigated arrogance
and temerity to lecture the
American people about "family
values."
If paying people 10 cents an
hour and then having them
hideously tortured if they protest
is a "family value," then, I want
nothing whatsoever to do with
their sense of morality.
Even more moronic and
hypocritical is the so-called pro-
life position of some of these
people. Seemingly, an unborn
fetus is deserving of great
compassion, but after birth all
the cruelly and brutality that I
have described in this letter can
occur, especially, if ii increases
their bottom line.
No real progress toward a
decent world will be possible
while this situation exists and
while the corporate-owned
media deliberately keep this
knowledge from the American
people. I know in my heart that
the American people would
never tolerate this situation if
they just knew about it!
Sincerely,
Gary Sudborough

News Briefs
Caparo Steel names new Chairman
The son of an industrialist from India has been named chairman
and chief executive officer of Caparo Steel Co., formerly known as
Sharon Steel.
Akash Paul, son of Swraj Paul, was appointed last week in a
series of executive changes at the steel company based 60 miles
northwest of Pittsburgh.
The elder Paul had been chairman but wanted to appoint a
relative to run the mill in Farrell. His son is expected to be at the
mill for three weeks each month.
The younger Paul. 37, earned a bachelor's degree in engineering
at Carnegie Mellon University and a masters?s degree from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Chuck Emmenegger was removed as chief executive but
remains with Caparo Inc., Paul's holding company in the United
States. Jim Riley, Caparo Steel's vice president of operations, was
fired.
Review board sought for school paper
The head of the student body at Pennsylvania's largest state-run
university wants to establish a review hoard for the campus
newspaper and yearbook.
Christopher Miller, president of the Student Congress at Indiana
University of Pennsylvania, said students deserve accountability
from their publications because they contribute $30,000 annually in
student fees.
Under his proposal, the review board would be able to hire and
fire editors at The Penn newspaper and The Oak yearbook at the
school, which has about 14,000 students.
Miller also said the review panel is justified because the
publications sometimes use vehicles from the university car pool
and take up office space in a campus building.
Report targets, schools* pesticide use
School districts use toxic pesticides that can affect children's
health, but they are unwilling to notify parents, according to a
report released Monday by two environmental groups.
But agriculture officials say the report is not complete and does
not consider new state regulations on pesticide use in schools.
Clean Water Action and the Campaign to Reduce Pesticide
Exposure in Schools, both private citizens' groups, surveyed 28 of
501 school districts in the state last fall, and 11 returned completed
forms, said Clean Water Action director Robert Wendelgass.
Comatose woman has baby prematurely
A woman who was raped while in a coma had a premature baby
Monday in what doctors believe is the first case of someone getting
pregnant and giving birth in a chronic vegetative state.
The 2-pound. 1 1 -ounce boy and his mother appeared to be doing
well, a doctor said.
The 29-year-old woman's family decided to go ahead with the
pregnancy rather than seek an abortion and are said to be
considering raising the child.
The woman suffered head injuries and lapsed into
unconsciousness when her car skidded on ice and crashed into a
tree near Ithaca in central New York on Dec. 20, 1985.

Letters to
the Editor Cont
Cold War was a titanic struggle
Dear Editor:
In current mythology, the Cold
War was a titanic struggle of
good versus evil, of democracy
and freedom against godless
communism.
Reality is quite different. How
can the United Stales support of
brutal right-wing dictators like
Somoza. the Shah, Mobutu,
Marcos. Trujillo, Pinochet,
Suharto and others be equated
with democracy and freedom?
How can the massacre of over
one-half million members of the
Indonesian Communist Patty and
their families (men, women and
children) be called anything but
one of the great human rights
violations of the twentieth
century?
The same is true of the
slaughters in Guatemala, Angola,
Mozambique and East Timor.
1 have a different theory. The
Cold War was a struggle of the
corporations to retain control of
the cheap labor and natural
resources of the world and to
prevent socialism from
succeeding anywhere because it
is a threat to their tremendous
wealth and power. Since the
dissolution of the Soviet Union
and the passage of NAFTA and
GATT. these corporations are
more powerful than ever.
How were the American
people so easily deceived?
Simple- the corporations own the
media and can promulgate the
fairy tales of the ruling elite
twenty-four hours a day, if
necessary. The greatest
propaganda achievement of
human history was convincing
the American people that
believers in a Utopian ideology
like communism were evil
devils.
What did the Cold War
accomplish? It bankrupted the
Soviet Union and put this
country four trillion dollars in
debt. This folly occurred while
millions of people starved to
death, and the environment was
polluted and destroyed.
An objective observer from
another planet would have to
conclude that there is no
intelligent life on earth. Beam
me up, Scotty!
Sincerely,
Gary Sudborough
People interested in sorority got a big let down
Dear Editor,
I am writing to respond to the
article on Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority Inc. that was in the
February 15 article.
The president of the sorority
made a statement saying they are
planning on taking on new
members. I was just wondering
how they would take on new
members if they are not taking
on a line. I feel the president
shouldn't have said that because
all the people who are interested
in the sorority just got a big let
down.
If they are taking on a line,
when? Next fall or next spring?
Don't put something in a campus
newspaper stating what you're
going to do especially since the
president knows there are several
people interested in becoming
new members, and then don't do
it.

Temple U. Newspaper Switches to Online
Publishing
PHILADELPHIA- Temple University students no longer will be able
to flip through their daily newspaper without first turning on a com-
puter.
That's because Temple News is making the switch from newsprint
to cyberspace.
"The cost of newsprint has put us well over budget," Temple News
editor Dawn Williams told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "We can't
afford to do our daily productions." The newspaper has been unable
to generate sufficient advertising revenues to cover its costs, so the
editors decided to rely on its Internet version rather than ask the uni-
versity for more funding. By the end of the semester, a lengthier
printed version will appear just once a week, and Williams hopes the
change will attract advertisers.
Meanwhile, the online version, which doesn't run ads, will be
updated daily, as it has been since 1994.
"We are going to lose the bathroom reader initially," Managing
Editor Adam Butler said. "But we'll get him back, either by bringing
him closer to the technology or the technology closer to him."
ASU Student dies after discovered in coma
TEMPE, Ariz.- Ellis Mather, a disabled student who slipped into a
coma last November and went unnoticed for a week inside his Arizona
State University dorm room, has died at 21.
Mather was discovered slumped in his wheelchair after other stu
dents in the dormitory reported a persistent odor and called police. The
quadriplegic was found to be dehydrated and unconscious.
The young man's parents, Elsie and James Mather, left their jobs in
Bethel. Alaska, and sat vigil by their son's bedside, where he remained
in a vegetative state for three months until he died in February.
Doctors said they believe that Mather may have caught the flu, which
would have caused a shortage of oxygen to his brain because his lungs
were weakened by paralysis. They thought there was a slim chance ot
recovery because the young man's brain stem was not damaged.
Mather, a former star wrestler before his disabling accident at 15, had
high hopes when he came to Arizona Stale because of the school's
facilities for the disabled.
Tedde Scharf, associated director of disability resources at the
school, had told reporters in November that even if the school had
room checks, Mather would have resisted them.
"We've fought so hard to get out of nursing homes to be able to be
independent, so do we go back to an environment that's suffocating ?
said Scharf, who is disabled.
Mather's parents said they were concerned when their repeated calls
to their son went unanswered, but were hesitant to call the school
because they knew Mather was sensitive about his independence.
Despite his physical problems. Mather lived like a typical college
student, attending parties and football games, and e-mailing friends
and an older brother.

New on-line service offered in Clarion
by Tom Evans
News Writer
A new on-line service is being
offered in the Clarion area for the
community and the university. If
someone has a computer and a
modem, then they can access
ClariOnline. ClariOnline is a
local bulletin board service
(BBS). It is owned and run by W.
Randy Rice, director of Keeling
Health Center, and is not affiliat-
ed with Clarion University of
Pennsylvania in any way.
ClariOnline can be accessed
with a computer and modem by
calling 764-6003. It is quite easy
to use because the user is direct-
ed by a series of menus to be able
to access the variety of applica-
tions that are available on the
BBS. Once connected, a user is
asked for his or her first and last
name and then their password.
New users will answer a few
basic questions relating to their
computer and then they would be
logged on automatically to
ClariOnline. From the main
menu, a user can access different
message boards, play games,
check mail from other users,
download programs, and other
applications.
One of ClariOnline's features is
a message board where a person
can respond to and talk about edi-
torials and articles that are print-
ed in the Clarion Call . The
Clarion Call message board is
entitled 'Call for AH', and is not
affiliated with the Clarion Call in
any way. The board offers an
alternative to the letters to the
editor that are printed each week
in the newspaper. Rice said in
reference to the 'Call for All'
message board, "...There is a
chance for debates and 'fights'".
The menu boards are easy to
use even for the most computer
illiterate person. A user would
simply type the letter or number
that corresponds to what you
want to do.
For example, if you would like
to comment on an article in the
Clarion Call here is what you
would have to do to enter a con-
ference. A user would need to
type 'J" from the main menu to
join a conference.
Then, he or she would type 'L'
to list the different conferences
and pick the number that corre-
sponds to the conference that a
person would be interested in.
A user can read other comments
and also record their own com-
ments.
ClariOnline also offers more
than ten Internet games to choose
from.
The variety of games includes
role-playing game* to gambling
games.
Io access a game, a person
would simply type 'D' at the
main menu, and then choose a
number that corresponds to a
game.
ClariOnline is a iocal call from
campus and the surrounding
areas. The only setback to the
service is only one person can be
on-line at a time.
The waiting period is being
alleviated by having users on for
only 30 minutes at a time and for
no more than one hour a day.

Clarion University Faculty As a
part of this role, the Council has
been active in gathering informa-

Nil, and developing recommen-
dations and position papers on
such topics as intellectual proper-
ty rights, universal access, and

is a government initiative located
in the Department of Commerce,
drawing on the private and com-
mercial sectors in an attempt to
realize the goal of universal
availability of information ser-
vices to all sectors of the nation.
Such a scheme involves the use
of such existing services as
Internet, cable systems, satellite
systems, entertainment networks,
commercial vendors of informa-
tion services (e.g.. Prodigy.

expressed his concern by say-
ing,"Everyone is going to miss
him. If there would have been an
employee of the month, he would
have been employee of the year."
Ron Righter, coach of the men's
basketball team, who has been
with the university for eight
years, feels the death is a "dev-
astating blow." He feels that
Fragale should be remembered
for the "little things" he did.

help out the coaches." Other
coaches have also mentioned
how he was a delight to work
with, that he would always go the
extra mile for anyone.
Many rumors have been circu-
lating around campus about the
particulars of the demise of
Fragale. One of the main rumors
was the Fragale's supposed ter-
mination last week by the univer-
sity. "No way." according to
Carlson. "He was a 10."

The dog first is anesthetized.
Then, its body is cut open so that
medical students can observe
how its beating heart and healthy
kidneys will react when certain
drugs are injected.
Once the procedure is over, the
dog is too mutilated to be saved.
Like a pair of used rubber gloves,
the dog is thrown into a trash bag.
Though to some it may sound
inhumane. The procedure is prac-
ticed by nearly two-thirds of the
nation's 125 medical schools. At
some schools, such as the
University of Colorado, the "dog
lab" is a required part of the cur-
riculum — a fatal experiment that
proponents call an important
learning tool for students.
At least one group, the
Physicians Committee for
Responsible Medicine, has
expressed its outrage by taking
out newspapers ads encouraging
first-year UC medical students to
skip the dog lab in their March
physiology class.
"The ad points out that
Colorado students have a choice
and they should exercise that,"
said David Wasser. communica-
tions director for the Washington-
based physicians group that pro-
motes alternatives to animal
experiments.
Last year, the UC medical
school was forced to pay? $95 .00
to Buddhist student Safia Rubaii,
who said dog experiments were
against her religion. As part of
the settlement, the school agreed
to change its policy, allowing stu-
dents to opt out of the lab if they
had similar objections.
The ad prepared by the physi-
cians group says: "For the first
time ever, students at the
University of Colorado have a
choice. We hope they use it.
Personal ethics matter."
Wasser said the group objects to

the dog lab because students can
leam just as much about physiol-
ogy through textbooks and com-
puter simulations.
"They're not doing anything
groundbreaking," Wasser said.
Also, the alternatives are more
cost-effective and can be repeat-
ed, he argued. Unlike computer
programs, dog labs are a one-shot
event.
"If a student misses something,
you can't revive the dog," he
said.
The top medical schools-
Harvard, Yale, Columbia and
Stanforduniversitieshave stopped
dog labs, he said.
The Physicians Committee for
Responsible Medicine is target-
ing top-ranked Johns Hopkins
University, which still requires it
for first-year medical students.
Dr. Richard Krugman, dean of
the UC medical school, said dog
labs are an excellent teaching
method and should not be discon-
tinued simply because of the
action of other schools.
"I do believe it is a fundamen-
tal right of our faculty to set its
curriculum,"he said.

LKAD STORY
•Might Houston police arrested
a 46-year-old man in February
and charged him with molesting
his 12-year-old granddaughter.
Police officers and social work-
ers suspect that the man is not
only the father of the girl's moth-
er but of the girl, too, and noting
that the granddaughter is five
months pregnant, also suspect he
is the father of what would be his
own great-granddaughter. (The
suspect denied all accusations.)
POLICE BLOTTER
•Hit man Chanh Thong Vo, 24.
was killed in what was most like-
ly a contract murder in Toronto in
December. Vo was known in the
community for favoring the front
waistband of his jeans to hold his
.45-calibre handgun, and because
of an earlier accident in holster-
ing his gun, he was known as No
-Wang Vo.
•Police in Mineola, NY., filed
child endangerment charges
against school bus driver Robert
Morton, 22, and his friend in
September. Their only offense
was telling scary stories to their 5
and 6-year-old passengers.
•A judge in Sherburne, Nova
Scotia, jailed Frank Edward
Gould, 48, in November for 45
days on a DU1 charge. A police
officer spotted Gould's truck
weaving on the highway, and as
Gould pulled into a gas station,
the officer drove in behind him.
According to the officer, Gould
got out, became disoriented,
walked back to the patrol car,
leaned in and told the officer,
"Fill 'cr up."
•From the Police Report,
Wauwatosa (Wis.) News-Times,
Oct. 26, 1995: "A man who was
found in a women's restroom at
May fair Mall was issued a cita-
tion for disorderly conduct Oct.
17. The man admitted to police
that he had entered the restroom
because he thought it would be a
good place to meet women."
•Two men and a woman were
arrested in Bentonville, Ark., in
December, and charged with kid-
napping Jason Stanley for a ran-
som from his stepfather of either
S200,000 or 50 pounds of mari-
juana. During his four days of
captivity, Stanley, 6 feet and 155
pounds, was bound in plastic tape
and stored completely within a
soft-sided, zippered suitcase that
the three toted around with them
in their car. He finally convinced
the kidnappers he would help
them, commit crimes if only they
would unpack him; once free, he
broke away and notified police.
•In Peter Borough, Ontario,
Gerald Dixon, 26, was sentenced
to six years in prison in February
for robbing a Bank of Montreal
branch. He was arrested a few
hours after the robbery as he
attempted to deposit his loot into
his account at the same bank.
•According to Albuquerque,
N.M., police officer Gene
Marquez,. one of the local credit'
card fraud arrestees he had just
picked up in October expressed
excitement when told that a unit
from the TV show "Cops" was in
town and might be along in a few
minutes. According to Marquez,
the man said, "My mama always
told me someday I'd be on
'Cops.'" He wanted to know
when his arrest would be on so he
wouldn't miss it. (The
Albuquerque segments aired in
February.)
•Nashville, Tenn., police were
called to a laundromat in January
after a customer reported that a
man had come in from the rain,
soaking wet, put a few coins in a
dryer, climbed in and was getting
tumble-dried.
•In October, a Redondo Beach,
Calif., police officer arrested a
driver after a short chase and
charged him with drunk driving.
Officer Joseph Fonteno's suspi-
cions were aroused when he saw
the white Mazda rolling down
Pacific Coast Highway with half
of a traffic-light pole, including
the lights, lying across its hood.
The driver had hit the pole on a
median strip and simply kept dri-
ving. According to Fonteno,
when the driver was asked about
the pole, he said, "It came with
the car when I bought it."
•Police in Philadelphia in
October said a 14-year-old boy
was stabbed in the cheek by a 15-
year-old, near Northeast High
School. Police said the younger
boy was in the process of stealing
a bicycle when the older boy
approached and informed him
that he was going to steal the
bicycle, himself. The two then
fought; the younger boy got in a
shot with his bolt cutters before
the older boy stabbed him.
•Recent distracted burglars: In
Canton, Mass., "Soft Foot," a
burglar who committed several
jobs in 1995 (during some of
which he cooked a meal in the
kitchen without waking the resi-
dents) remained on the lam. And
in Sacramento, Calif, in
December, accused burgla. Brett
Woolley, 25, allegedly had lined
up the owner's stereo and other
items by the front door ready to
go but then decided to draw a
bubble bath; he fell asleep in the
tub, the owner returned, and
police were called to awaken
Woolley.
•Among recent drug and booze
arrests: Ms. Collie -Brown, 86, in
Grayson County, Texas, in
December, for bootlegging.
Hazel Helen Gessler. 70, in
Ashland, Ore., in August for
growing and selling marijuana:
and Laurie Wilder Maschek, 32,
St. Tammany Parish (La.) teacher
of the year in 1992. in October
for growing marijuana.
•Doughnuts in the News: The
Los Angeles International Airport
police department opened an
investigation over a January inci-
dent in which one of its officers
allegedly passed a fatal freeway
accident scene, at which no offi-
cer was yet present, in order to
continue on his way to the Dough
Boy doughnut shop for a cup of
coffee. And in December, the
police chief of Quebec City.
Quebec, ordered his officers to
stay away from doughnut shops
during their breaks so as to
improve the department's image.
Such was the outcry in protest
that he rescinded the order the
first week in January and apolo-
gized to the Dunkin' Do>?uts
chain for using its name generi-
cally for "doughnut shop."

movies with a totally unbeliev-
able plot, yet you can't help but
watch and laugh through the
entire thing. It starts out with
Happy (played by the hilarious
Adam Sandler) as he tries out for
the NHL, as he does every year.
As usual, he fails to make the
team! When he returns home, he
discovers that his grandmother
owes back taxes on their house,
and if they don't come up with
the money fast, their house will
be gone. As movers haul furni-
ture to be sold, they challenge
Happy to see how far he can hit a
golf ball. After he fires the ball
farther than anyone has ever
seen, he gets an idea as to how to
save his grandmother's house.
Care to guess what it might be?
Not long after. Happy enters the
PGA tour and begins working
with a golf pro to help his game.
As his game, unusual golf attire,
and bad attitude create problems
for the pros, he attracts new fans
never before seen in the world of
golf. His popularity soars, while
the leading moneywinner plots
Happy's early exit from the PGA
lour. One of the highlights of the
movie is when Happy and Bob
Barker team up in a celebrity golf
tournament. Bob and Happy get
in an argument, which soon
erupts in to a fist-light. In the
end. it was Bob who came out
victorious (after a hilarious
fiiiht). Who knew Bob could

fight like that? I guess it's all that
hard work on The Price is Right.
As the movie unfolds, Happy is
forced to play at the PGA
Championship to save his house.
It builds up to the usual climax-
but I won't spoil the ending
(although it's not a big surprise at
all). Believe me. you've never
seen pro golf played like this
before!
This movie was actually a lot
better than 1 thought it would be.
I thought it would be totally stu-
pid, but 1 couldn't help from
laughing out loud during the
entire movie. It was great! If for
no other reason, go and see it to
watch Bob Barker fight with
Adam Sandler! It's rated PG-13.
and it's one of the funniest
movies I've seen in a long time.
Enjoy!

If Elected, I Promise to be a Stupid Idiot by Dave Barry
Not to toot my own horn, but
I'm starting to see a strong voter
response to my presidential cam-
paign (Motto: it's Time We
Demanded Less!')
Every day, more and more vot-
ers are turning toward me.
Granted, they immediately turn
away and barf, but that is not the
point. The point is that I'm get-
ting attention, and I'm getting it
without the negative campaign-
ing and cheap-shot name-calling
you're hearing from my dirtbag
slimeball opponents.
How strong is my candidacy?
Let's take a look at the following
chart, which shows, state-by-
state, the developing popular
groundswell, as measured by the
actual percentages of people vot-
ing for me in the early state cau-
cuses and primaries (this chart
has a margin of error of three-
tenths of an inch).
IOWA — Zero NEW HAMP-
SHIRE — Zero DELAWARE —
Zero ARIZONA — Zero THE
PLANET EARTH IN GENER-
AL — Zero.
I'm sure I don't have to whack
you over the head with the signif-
icance of these numbers. I'm
sure you've already reached the
are thinking. "Dave is getting
EXACTLY THE SAME VOTE
PERCENTAGE AS COLIN
POWELL!"
Calm down! There is no need to
think in capital letters. But you
are correct: I am currently run-
ning dead even, state for state,
with the man who has been
shown in poll after poll to be the
nation's first choice for president.
Why are Colin and I so hugely
popular? I can answer that in one
simple word: "The Issues." Here
is where I stand on them as of
8:35 p.m. yesterday:
CRIME — You can call me
courageous if you want, but I am
against crime. I favor the death
penalty for everything, including
zoning violations. In the case of
really, really bad criminals —
especially murderers and whoev-
er is responsible for putting
ketchup in those little packets
they give you at fast-food restau-
rants — I support a massive gov-
ernment project to develop a way
to bring them back to life after
we execute them, so we can exe-
cute them again.
THE BUDGET DEFICIT —
For far too long, politicians have
been
sugar-coating
the truth
what they think we want to hear.
Well, I say it's time we acted like
grown-ups and "faced the
music." If you really want to
know who's responsible for the
budget deficit, go to a minor,
look yourself straight in the eye,
and say: "I'M sure as hell not
responsible!" Of COURSE
you're not! Neither am I! I was
hitting golf balls with OJ. at the
time.
TAXES — A lot of my oppo-
nents have been going around
spouting harebrained "pie-in-the-
sky" tax schemes that promise
"something for nothing." Well. I
say it's time for a "reality check."
I favor a practical, fiscally sound,
two-pronged "flat tax" system, as
follows:
PRONG ONE — Everybody
would pay less.
PRONG TWO — You, person-
ally, would pay nothing.
Unlike my opponents, however,
I am not suggesting that there is
such a thing as a "free lunch."
(Under my administration, you
will still have to pay for your
lunch, although dinner would be
free, unless they serve it with
those little ketchup packets, in
which case they would have to
everybody paid lower taxes, then
the government would not have
the money it needs to carry out its
vital constitutional function of
shutting down every other week.
Therefore, to offset my tax break,
I am proposing a special tax of
SI 0,000 on everybody who gets:
THE JENNIFER ANISTON
MODEL HAIRCUT — Jennifer
Aniston, for the benefit of those
of you who have just arrived here
from the 14th century, is an
actress on the TV sitcom,
"Friends," which is about six
ordinary young people who lead
ordinary lives doing ordinary
things just like you — working,
watching TV, dating Julia
Roberts, etc. This show is hugely
popular, and one result has been
that roughly 80 percent of
American women have decided
to do their hair in the same style
as Aniston, often with unfortu-
nate results. It's like the 70s,
when millions of women got the
Farrah Fawcett Model hairstyle,
thinking this made them look like
Farrah Fawcett, when in fact it
made them look like French poo-
dles that had fallen into vats of
hydrogen peroxide.
Get real, women! Copying
make you look like that person!
If I wore my hair like Brad Fitt,
would I suddenly look exactly
like Brad Pitt' Of course not! I
would look exactly like Mel
Gibson! But that is something I
have learned to live with.
Because I happen to be a realist,
which is why I know thai I will
never be president of this great
nation unless I can persuade you.
the people, to give me your trust
because I want to present my
Vision for America's Future by
means of TV commercials sug-
gesting that my opponents are
guilty of, at minimum, molesting
livestock. So help me out. voters!
Let's all do our part, as patriotie
citizens, to make this great nation
an even better place in which for
me to live. You'd better act now,
because there are only so many
spaces on the Supreme Court.
xxxxx
And speaking of presidents: It
has been brought to my attention
that I am a stupid idiot because in
a recent column I attributed the
statement "We have nothing to
fear but fear itself" to Winston
Churchill.- This statement was of
course made by Franklin D.
Roosevelt, inventor of the phono-
obvious conclusion. "Hey!" you about the deficit, telling us only pay YOU.) I fully realize that if somebody's hairstyle doesn't graph.

Whatever happened to AX, TKE, IT, and I<E>E?
by Kelly Gregory
Greek Writer
On many college campuses
today people perceive Greek Lite
as negative. Clarion University
students may also feel this way,
and feel the Greek System is
going downhill. What people
tend to overlook is the sense of
brotherhood or sisterhood that
emerges in Greek Life.
Clarion University currently
has nine National Fraternities on
campus, and at one lime had
fourteen. People may wonder
what happened to the other five
fraternities.
Everyone probably knows that
those five fraternities are not rec-
ognized on campus anymore.
The chapters of Delta Chi, Sigma
Tau, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Tau
Kappa Epsilon and Phi Sigma
have lost their charters. Each
chapter has lost their charter
under different circumstances.
Delta Chi was originally found-
ed on October 13, 1890 at
Cornell University. The chapter
in Clarion was brought here from
Gannon University by a brother,
Jay Sloblodzian, on October 24,
1983.
AX had spent ten years nation-
ally on this campus. Their char-
ter was lost during the fall semes-
ter of 1993. The reason they lost
their charter was because they
had an accumulated debt with
their national headquarters.
According to Charlie Riscavage,
a current brother of AX, " We
were facing dwindling amounts
of new brothers, and the rise in
the dues for the older ones was
coming to be too much to bear.
We decided to look at all me
options that were being presented
to us and giving up the charter
seemed the most logically cor-
rect" By doing what they did.
their debt with their nationals
ceased to exist.
The brothers of AX still hold
meetings to discuss problems
which have occurred or to plan
any social events, and according
to Riscavage. "Our charter may
be gone, but we still can function
as the fraternity we were before
on the organizational level.
Although AX is not involved
with "Rush" on campus, they
always encourage students to
check out all options and ask the
students to stop by and check

them out.
Despite losing their charter,
they have not experienced any
difference of treatment towards
their fraternity. When asked how
they plan on getting their charter
back, according to Riscavage,
"The fate of possibly reclaiming
our charter in the future is
unclear. It is a great deal of work,
and it is a decision that must be
looked at very closely. It will
involve a massive amount of
effort by the Brothers and those
that feel they would like to con-
tinue the tradition of AX into the
future."
The Brothers of Sigma Tau.
which was a local fraternity, lost
their charter in the Spring of
1992. The reason for the loss of
the charter according to Kraig
Koelsch. a current brother, was
the fact that they did not seek
national recoginition. At one time
IT was a national fraternity with
the name, Sigma Tau Gamma.
IT has been a local fraternity on
Clarion campus from the late
1970's thru the 1980's.
For this fraternity to get recog-
nition on this campus, their chap-
ter would need a certain amount
of members and have to meet
rPC requirements.
When asked on how he felt
about not being recognized local-
ly on campus, Koelsch said, "The
whole University Greek System
has fallen completely on its face
since the fall of '91." Despite
losing their charter, IT fraternity
does not feel they are treated dif-
ferent, other fraternities treat
them with respect and they give
it in return.
In an attempt to get rechartered
Koelsch contacted IFC several
times, but his efforts were unsuc-
cessful. Koelsch feels that
President Reinhard would not
want local fraternities on campus
again.
Dr. Curtis, Vice President of
Student Affairs, offered to help
out the brothers of IT to get their
charter back. Koelsch stated, "1
personally feel the university will
never re-instate our charter, for
whatever reasons. It was OK to
be local in 1991, but in 1992 it
was not. I don't understand why
every fraternity has to be nation-
al."
The national fraternity of Sigma
Phi Epsilon was chartered at
Clarion University in January of
1982. Twelve years later, mis
chapter of I<J>E lost their charter
on October 11, 1994. Their rea-
son for loss of their charter
according to Joe Kapp, current
President, was, "Lack of internal
operations." Without their char-
ter, IOE receives no recognition
on campus. They are not allowed
to advertise, and the only way
they are heard of is by word of
mouth, brothers living in the
dorms and brothers wearing let-
ters on campus.
According to Kapp, his feelings
on not being nationally recog-
nized on campus, he says, "I feel
the chapter should still be recog-
nized. It is partly the chapters
fault because of not enough par-
ticipation and funds, but I blame
it on our nationals because they
act like the fraternity is a busi-
ness."
The fraternity still runs chapter
meetings, but it is hard to get
places on campus, because they
are not nationally recognized on
campus. They also had a group
of freshmen who wanted to start
the fraternity IOE, without
knowledge mat they had once
and still exist, they joined with
die brothers who were already
here.
The current brothers of IOE are
in the process of trying to regain
their charter. They need to keep
the brothers interested, and oth-
ers as well, so they can meet the
national requirements. The new
brothers have to appeal the rea-
sons for losing the charter and
wait out the time.
The last comment Kapp had
made was that, "John Postlewait
has helped them out a lot and he
is a key individual. I understand
IFC rules and policies, but
nationals were unfair, and we
were never a problem with the
campus or IFC. We were never
given a chance nationally to meet
their requirements."
The brothers of TKE had been
and get their charter back. They
need to get their numbers up,
then talk to IFC to get back on
campus. Cypher had commented
by saying, "IFC should take us a
little more serious, with the way
everything is going, no one will
have a charter."
When asked what the chances
of these fraternities getting their
charters back are, IFC advisor.
John Postlewait responded,
"There is a chance some will and
some will not. There is no
chance for local fraternities
because they are not allowed on
campus anymore. AX, I4>E and
TKE would get their nationals
back if their nationals allow. TKE
would also have to be approved
by the school." When asked
what his feelings were on these
fraternities not being recognized,
he said, "If these fraternities
would adhere to guidelines set by
campus and nationals, they
would still be here."
The 4>I fraternity was unable
to be reached for comment.
With the future of the Greek
system at Clarion many people
feel that the Greeks will not sur-
vive for much longer. These five

"I don't understand why every
fraternity has to be national,
-Kraig Koelsch, IT
at CU for 25 years. They came to
Clarion's campus in 1967 and
lost their charter in the fall of
1992.
The reason for the loss of their
charter, according to Rich
Cypher, a current brother. "We
violated our probation."
They get their recognition on
campus through parties and
brothers wearing letters on cam-
pus. When asked about how they
feel on not being nationally rec-
ognized on campus, Cypher said,
"It does not bother me. We do
not have to put up with all the
rules and regulations, although
we would like to be recognized."
The only problem they feel
about how others treat them for
not being nationally recognized
is that freshman males are turned
off because they do not have a
charter
The brothers of TKE plan to try
fraternities care a lot about their
fraternity and they are trying to
preserve their brotherhood.
They are still functioning with-
out their charters. Although they
are not a part of the Greek sys-
tem, they still remain. All of the
Greeks need to support the
Greeks nationally recognized.
To sum it up, Riscavage stated.
"Our fraternity may have run into
some minor setbacks, yet we
remain. The bond of brotherhood
within our fraternity has lasted,
and will continue to do so with or
without a charter. Making the
decision to go Greek, and more
specifically AX, is one which I
will never regret. Brotherhood is
not about some piece of paper
that hangs on the wall. It is about
that which you have in your
heart. That is what truly mat-
ters."

National League Preview
The sweet smell of pine tar
By Bill Sinclair
Sports Writer
NL EAST
5th Montreal Expos
The Expos have been plagued by
free agency after a stellar 1994
season. Rebuilding is in the
minds of every Expo fan as they
begin the 1996 season. The
bright spot in '96 for the Expos is
their pitching staff. Pedro J.
Martinez heads the rotation, fol-
lowed by Jeff Fassero and eccen-
tric lefty Carlos Perez. Moises
Alou (.273 14 HRS) heads an
offense which will experiment
with rookies.
4th Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies will battle the Expos
for the basement in the East.
Lack of pitching will hamper a
decent offensive ball club, which
will utilize aging catcher Darren
Daulton in leftfield. Free agent
acquisition Benito Santiago will
ease the pain of Daulton's move.
Gregg Jefferies and Lenny
Dykstra will also be productive
for the Phillies.
3rd Florida Marlins
The Marlins vastly improved
their squad this season. They
went shopping, and after spend-
ing millions of dollars, they
acquired a solid pitching staff
along with a solid line up.
Stalling pitchers Kevin Brown
and Al Leiter will jump ship from
the American League to join the
Marlins. John Burkett (14-14)
and Chris Hammond (9-6) will
also aid the staff. Devon White
will join Gary Shefield and Jeff
Conine in the outfield, while
catching sensation, Charles
Johnson will more than double
his eleven long shots of a season
ago.
2nd New York Mets
The fans in Queens should be
fired up for the '96 season.
Young phenoms such as Jason
Isringhausen, Bill Pulsipher, and
Paul Wilson should electrify the
league. If that isn't enough,
Bobby Jones and Pete Harnisch
complete the rotation. The
offense is lead by infielder Jeff
Kent (20 HRS) and newly
acquired centerfielder, Lance
Johnson. The Mets should give
the favorite Atlanta Braves a run
for their money.
1st Atlanta Braves
There isn't a doubt in too many
people's mind that the Braves are
going to win the division. The

the best pitching staffs ever,
along with a very impressive line
up. Ryan Klesko, David Justice,
and Marquis Grissom fill a fear-
some outfield. The crime Dog
Fred McGriff and tough young-
ster Chipper Jones fill the cor-
ner's of the diamond. Rookie
pitcher Jason Schmidt will take
over the 5th spot in the rotation
that was vacated by the departure
of Kent Mercker.
NL CENTRAL
5th Cincinnati Reds
The Reds were struck by the free
agency bug this winter after win-
ning the division last season.
Reggie Sanders is the only
bonafide starter remaining in the
outfield. The infield is lead by
MVP Barry Larkin and first base-
man Hal Morris. The pitching
staff was depleted by the depar-
ture of David Wells and the
injury to Jose Rijo. The Reds
need Rijo to bounce back from
arm surgery to avoid the base-
ment.
4th Pittsburgh Pirates
The '96 Bucs will vastly improve
this season. Charlie Hayes (85
RBIS) will take over the reigns at
third, provoking the move of Jeff
King (87 RBIS) to first base. Jay
Bell and Carlos Garcia round out
a very solid infield. Letty uenny
Neagle will anchor a young
pitching rotation that will
improve as the season progress-
es. Manager Jim Leyland will
make this club competitive, and
possibly put some excitement in
the Pittsburgh fans come
September.
3rd St. Louis Cardinals
The Cards did as most desperate
franchises do, they spent a load
of money on free agency.
Heading that list are Ron Gant,
Andy Benes, Todd Stottlemyre
and Tony La Russa. Gant, who
ripped 29 ding dongs a year ago.
joins Ray Lankford and Brian
Jordan in the outfield. Baseball
will say good bye to future Hall
of Famer Ozzie Smith, as he con-
cedes to newly acquired short-
stop Royce Clayton. Stottlemyre
and Benes will solidify the Cards
rotation which also consists of
Danny Jackson and Donovan
Osbourne. The Cards are tough
on paper; however too much
shuffling of the deck could pose
problems. But if I'm wrong, the
Cards are going to be serious
contenders.
2nd Chicago Cubs
The Cubs had a strong run at the
end of last season, and look to
continue it in '96. The pitching
staff had four players post 1 1 or
more victories, and they will
bank on the return of Ryne
Sandberg. Sandberg returns after
a year and a half hiatus.
Outfielder Sammy Sosa contin-
ues to give opposing pitchers
nightmares, and threatens to win
the MVP every season. Mark
Grace returns after contemplating
tree agency. Brian McRae needs
to continue his All-Star caliber
play to help, the Cubs be compet-
itive.
1st Houston Astros
The Astros Have two of the best
hitters in the NL in Craig Biggio
and Jeff Bagwell. They are the
nucleus of the club and the Astros
only go as far as they take them.
They have support with Derek
Keg

Bell and Brian Hunter in the out-
field. Hunter is young and
should break out this season. The
pitching staff is led by Doug
Drabek and Greg Swindell and
needs to improve this season if
the Astros expect to take the next
step in the NL.
NLWEST
4th San Francisco Giants
The Giants have Barry Bonds
and Matt Williams, and not too
much more. They have a poor
pitching staff which made no
improvements in '96. Rod Beck
is an excellent reliever, but there
may be a limited need for him.
Shawon Dunston comes over
from the Cubs to take over for the
departed Royce Clayton.
3rd San Diego Padres
The Padres finally had life last
season, and add Rickey
Henderson and Wally Joyner to a
line up that already has Tony
Gwynn and Ken Caminiti. Andy
Ashby (12 wins) and Joey
Hamilton (3.01 ERA) will be
joined by Bob Tewksbury in the
rotation. If the pitching staff can
come through this season, the
Padres will be competitive.
2nd Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers have an impressive
pitching staff, which includes
Rookie of the Year Hideo Nomo.
(236 K's) Ramon Martinez and
Pedro Astacio will also be pro-
ductive for the Dodgers. The
Dodgers have a lethal line up fea-
turing Raul Mondesi (26 HRS).
Mike Piazza (32 HRS), and free
agents Greg Gagne and Mike
Blowers, who will provide more
than enough sting in their
offense, not to mention Eric
Karros and Delino DeSheilds.
The Dodgers will be in the NL
West hunt all seaon, which
should be the most competitive
division in the NL.
1st Colorado Rockies
The Rockies play at Coors Field
which helps their already strong
line up. Andres Galarraga. Dante
Bichette, Larry Walker, and
Vinny Castilla combined for 139
dingers last season, in 144
games. The Rockies rotation
isn't bad, but they pilch in homer
heaven Coors Field. Bret
Saberhagen and Bill Swift are
proven pitchers, however the
Rockies had 12 different pitchers
run through the rotation that
averaged a little over five innings
per outing. The Rockies line up
is too tough to stop, and pitching
is no big deal.

American League Preview.

The Clarion Call
March 21. 1996
Clarion Sports Hall of Fame inducts new members
By Ben Keen
Assistant Sports Editor
The Clarion University "Sports
Hall of Fame" eommittee
announced that seven new mem-
bers will be inducted into the 8th
annual "Sports Hall of Fame"
class of 19%.
Induction ceremonies are set
for Friday, May 3rd at 5:30 p.m.
Tickets and information are
available from associate athletic
director Tracy Cumming in Rm
1 1 1 of Tippin Gynasium or call
226-1989.
They include: Pete Caristo
(Football/Baseball), Nanette
Farrar Handley (Swimming),
Rebecca Rutt Leas (Swimming
Coach), Terry Roseta
(Basketball), Charles Ruslavage
(Football/Track Coach), Joseph
Sebestyen (Basketball), and
Roland Sparrow (Football).
"Our eighth induction class is a
very exciting one," commented
Clarion Athletic Director Robert
Carlson. "I'd like to congratulate
the new inductees on their selec-
tion to the Hall of Fame, plus
congratulate the selection com-
mittee for doing another great
job. This is a great class!
Pete Caristo was a 4-year let-
terwinner on the football team
and earned 3 baseball letters as
well. He was part of the 1952, 9-
football team and received a try
out from the Cleveland Browns.
Nanette Farrar Handley was a
swimmer at Clarion from 1978-
81. Nanette was a 6-time
Division II National Champion
and played a major part in
Clarions' National
Championships in 1978, 80 and
81.
Rebecca Rutt Leas was
Clarion's women swimming
coach from 1979-87. She led
Clarion to 6 Division II National
Championships and coached an
amazing 217 All- American plac-
ings. She was Div. II "coach of
the year" 3 times and was also
named to the NCAA Div. II All-
Decade Coaching Team.
Terry Roseta was a center on
the mens' baketball team from
1974-77 and holds the record for
rebounds in a career with 1,245.
Terry also shot 54.69} from the
field and 72.8% from the
freethrow line through his career
and scored 60 points in one
game.
Charles Ruslavage was a foot-
ball coach at Clarion after he was
an All-American linebacker for
Penn State. He coached the
offensive and defensive lines,
was head coach for a year, and
was also defensive coordinator.
During his 23 year coaching
career the team had a winning
percentage of 73.7% and won 7
PSAC-West crowns.
Joseph Sebestyen was the lead-
ing scorer and rebounder at
Clarion from 1971-73. He holds
Clarions' career record for field
goal pecentage with 58.5% and is
fourth in career scoring at
Clarion with 1,198 points. He
was also named District 18
"player of the year " in 1973.
Roland Sparrow was an offen-
sive lineman for Clarion. A tal-
ented run and pass blocker, he
was part of an offense that scored
24 ppg over his three year career.
A first team PS AC member, he
signed with the Dallas Cowboys
in 1971, but was later cut.
The Penalty Box and the Pens
By Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
Welcome back to the Penalty
Box, where we always stand for
the national anthem.
Swret 16 F<?v?r
Well, for the first time in my
life, I still have all my Final four
teams in tact after the first two
rounds. That could change over
the weekend because they all
face intriguing sweet 16
matchups. Cincinnati faces off
with Georgia Tech in possibly the
best game of the sweet 16.
Kentucky squares off with a
dangerous Utah squad. Umass
must play Cinderella killer when
they take on Arkansas. Kansas
confronts Arizona and they could
give the Jayhawks all they can
handle. I still feel comfortable
with my picks, despite the upset
potential; here are some thoughts
on the tourney thus far:
•Is it a federally mandated law
that Santa Clara must win an
opening round NCAA tourna-
ment game?
•The Big 10 was the big weenie
of the tournament so far.
•It's good to see the backdoor
play still works (ask UCLA).
•Does the Barry guy from
Georgia Tech have to turn his
head to the side after every pass
to make it look like a no-look.
Huh?
Some reasons on why the
NCAA women's tournament still
hasn't raised to the level of the
men's: Last week Kent played
Penn State in the first round of
the West regional in State
College, PA.
Bulls Crumbling
There's probably only one thing
that can stop the Bulls as they
blaze their way to the NBA
crown, injuries.
If Jordan were to go down for
an extended period of time with
Scottie Pippen already banged
up, the Bulls would become very
vulnerable to Orlando or even
Indiana in the playoffs.
The problem could compound
further if Dennis Rodman
decides to get suspended again.
Rodman has had a legitimate
complaint, referees do single him
out quite frequently, but the man-
ner in which he handles it just
makes his gripe worse.
The Stretch Run
Another team that has been hit
by the injury bug has been the
Pittsburgh Penguins.
Earlier this week Tomas
Sandstrom seperated his shoulder
and should be out until playoff
time.
The trading deadline passed
Wednesday and hopefully as you
are reading this, Craig Patrick
made one of his usual stretch run
deals and acquired a defensemen.
Bryan Marchment of Edmonton
has been mentioned the most.
Flyers Inc.
News out of Philly says that
cable giant Comcast Cable will
purchase the Philadelphia Flyers
and 76ers sometime in the next
couple of months.
This brings an enormous amount
of free agent money to the Flyers
and look for them to go after
Blackhawk center Jeremy
Roenick in the off-season.
The NHL is the last major sport-
ing league not to have a majority
of corporate ownership of its
teams, but with this deal, look for
more mega deals with corporate
sponsors.

The Clarion C
Trustees Council approves increase in room and board
President Reinhard contract extension a
by Matt Geesey
News Editor
The Clarion University of
Pennsylvania Council of Trustees
extended the contract of President
Diane L. Reinhard and increased
room and board rates at its March 20
meeting.
Following a brief executive
session, the trustees unanimously
approved a one-year contract
extension for Reinhard. "The review
of Dr. Reinhard was very positive,"
said Trustee chair Michael Keefer.
"This council offers hfcr our
continued support."
Dr. George Curtis, vice president
for student affairs, requested and
received approval of increases in
room and board rates beginning with
the 1996-1997 university term.
Room rates for residence halls
were set as follows for double
occupancy rooms and single
occupancy rooms. Double
occupancy would cost $930 per
semester with an increase of $60
from last year, $62 per week during
summer session with an increase of
$4, and $310 for a single summer
session with an increase of $20. For
single occupancy, a student will be
expected to pay $1,205 per semester
with an increase of $85. $80 per
week during summer session with an
increase of $5. and $400 for a single
summer session with an increase of
$25 from last year.
Curtis explained that the three
high-rise residence halls, each of
which are over 20 years old, will be
needing renovations totaling at least
$5,000,000 over the next six years.
These renovations would include
replacing student room furnishings,
replacing windows, and renovating
bathrooms.
Clarion University's current
housing rate of $870 per semester
for a double room is next to the
lowest in cost for the State System
of Higher Education (SSHE). the
increase leaves Clarion as the third
lowest in the system even if no other
institution raises its rates. Over the
six years, the $609 increase would
provide $1,296,000.
By designating this to dorm
reserves, the projected reserves will
total $5,333,640 after those six
years. Curtis cautioned that modest
increases may be needed over this
six year time frame due to inflation,
but the reserves should remain in
good standing.
Board rates have been set for
standard plan and optimum plan for
residence students. A standard plan
with 19 meals included will now
cost $654 with an increase of $36
from last year.
A optimum plan with 19 meals
will cost $813 with an increase of
$48. Other rates for meal plans have
also been increased.
A 14 meal plan will cost $786 with
an increase of $79, a 10 meal plan
will cost $640 with an increase of
$74, and a 5 meal plan will cost
$471 with an increase of $57 from
last year.
Curtis explained that the current
food service contract would
probably not be renewed for a 14th
year based on the advice of legal
counsel. Bids were sought for the
contract and five proposals have
been received.
The reimbursement rate increases
range from 8 percent to 36 percent
for the standard full meal plan and
from 11 percent to 42 percent for
flex plans. Increases are needed to
maintain current operating revenues
while covering reimbursement
increases.
Clarion's student meal plan fees
are currently the second lowest in
the State System of Higher
Education. Curtis projects that even
with this increase that Clarion will
maintain that position.
Curtis indicated that the contractor
who receives the bid will be
investing $800,000 for dining hall
renovations. The food service
contract will be awarded at a later
date.
President Reinhard reported
positive enrollment figures for this
year and next year. Enrollment for
the Spring semester is up about two
percent to 4,972 students. She also
reported applications for the Fall
1996 semester is up by more than
300 applications.
There are also 50 more paid
deposits than at this time last year.
Jeff Levkulich/Clarion Call
Chad Wilkinson, senior Communication major and TV5 producer, edits footage of "Roundtable,
with Peter O'Rourke." The show airs Thursday, March 28, at 7:00 p.m. on TV 5.
Current projected enrollment for the
Fall semester is 5,960. which would
be an increase over Fall 1 995's
enrollment of 5,860.
Reinhard was not as optimistic
about the state's proposed budget
with a zero increase in
appropriations for higher education.
The result may be a $1.5 million
budget shortfall for Clarion.
Dr. John Kuhn, provost and
academic vice president, announced
four new programs and nine which
have been terminated. The new
programs include minors in business
administration and Black studies and
concentrations in applied ecology
and musical theatre.
The minor in business
administration uses part of the core
of the business major to introduce
students to basic information useful
in a business career.
Students majoring in other fields
can also take these courses to
understand the business field better
and for an increase in their
employment opportunities.
The minor in Black studies will
provide students with an opportunity
for exploring the history and cultural
experiences of African Americans
and other people of African descent.
Courses will consist of existing
offerings in the history department
as well as in other departments.
The concentration in applied
ecology will satisfy a recognized
need for the integration of basic and
applied sciences. Students interested
in the field of ecology will be
provided a means for enhancing
their efforts in the applied aspects of
the fields.
The concentration in musical
theatre provides students seeking a
career in musical theatre a vehicle
for maximizing the efforts in the

| OPINION—
Editorial
Mary Beth
Curry
I hate to get up on my I love
Clarion University soapbox again,
but once again the univeristy is
responsible for something great in
my life. This past weekend I met the
President of the United States, Bill
Clinton. To some of you this may
seem like no big deal, but I was truly
honored, and it would not have been
possible if I had attended a different
university. There were only two
other members of the student press
attending these meetings (The
I ional Newspaper Association,
Governmental Affairs Conference),
the rest were owners, editors, pub-
lishers, and assorted other big-wigs
in the newspaper business.
I guess you could say that Katie
(Zaikoski) and I were like a couple of
fish out of water this past weekend.
Our first clue mat this was going to
be a little bit out of our league was
the hotel. We stayed at the Hyatt
Regency on Capitol Hill, and the
jJace was absolutely beautiful.
However, 1 am from a very small
town (Mahaffey, PA) and the closest
thing we have to any kind of
overnight accommodations is a pop
tent in the back yard, so I was unpre-
pared for this experience.
After a few wrong turns we pulled
up in front of the hotel to the wel-
come of a valet. I begged him to let
me park my own car, but he assured
us that it was okay, so Katie brushed
some fries from the drivers seat,
while I pushed the McDonald's bag
in between the seats, and we let him
take it.
From there, it was off to the check-
in desk. I personally think that our
Express and B.U.M. sweatshirts
worn with jeans were a nice contrast
to all the Armani suits. At any rate,
check in went relatively well, and we
headed off to our room. The entire
way up we tried to stay two steps
behind the bell boy as we debated
what an appropriate amount was for
a tip. After all, the poor guy had
probably never been exposed to lug-
gage quite like ours. Don't get me
wrong, the suitcases were nice, but
cubes of Diet Coke and Pepsi, and
bags of Tostitos and Wavy Lays are a
little unusual. After a quiet debate we
decided that two dollars was enough,
and began to settle into the room.
That night we got a taste of what
was in store for us over the next cou-
ple of days, and when I say taste, I
mean it. We had some kind of
shrimp everywhere we went. The
hors'devors were always wonderful,
and since we were finally dressed in
business suits and had combed our
hair, we were feeling a little bit more
at home. That first night we kind of
stayed low and didn't talk to many
people (then again it is kind of hard
to talk with a mouth full of shrimp),
but by the time we visited the White
House we were talking to everyone
like they were old .friends. It was

It was the bottom of the seventh
inning in one of the biggest games in
the history of Reynoldsville Senior
Little League baseball when I got the
call from my head coach. In a posi-
tion where a lesser man would crum-
ble to his knees, I stood tall.
Stepping into the batter's box with
the winning run in scoring position,
just ninety feet from pay-dirt, is a hit-
ter's dream. The thrill of being a
team hero with just one crack of the
bat looms large as an excellent batter
attempts to make history.
In this situation, however, there
were added pressures that normally
aren't present in a Hollywood-like
baseball moment Normally, it is the
seasoned veteran of the team, the kid
who hits the home runs in clutch sit-
uations, who steps to the plate to take
on the great pitcher and the power of
the situation. My coach was not able
to opt f or the stori ed script. It was
my turn to step in and go to bat for
the team. He had examined the

bench with the scrutiny of a revered
dog show judge, then realized the
cupboard was empty. In other words,
no eligible player was there. By no
means could I have been classified as
the "natural" or even a clutch hitter,
although I was his and the team's
only hope!
Every child in my small Western
PA hometown dreamed he would be
taking to the mound to pitch for a pro
baseball team, quarterbacking his
team to a Super Bowl championship,
or scoring a Stanley Cup winning
goal. I guess that you could say I fell
into this category.
I was fascinated with watching
sports. I recall, when I was six years
old, watching some of the dramatic
moments of the 1979 sensational
sports year in Pittsburgh. My father
was a big Steeler and Pirates fan at
that time. Both teams made it to the
championships that year. I would
plop myself down in front of the
boob-tube and absorb all the action
into my brain. I was obsessed with
the aura of the players and their per-
formances. I believe that was the
time in my life when Gary Williams,
the spectator was brought into the
world.
The fact that my father was a sports
fan was not the only reason for my
spectator characteristic. I lived about
a half of a mile from any other sign
of life. There existed a small nest
egg of about five families which
were referred to as my neighbors.
Most of them had children around
my age, thus they were considered
my friends. Among them was my
best friend, John Leshok. We were
inseparable.
Like myself, John loved sports.
The only difference was that he was
what people would call a "player".
He constantly wanted to play the
games he loved. As for me, I would
much rather watch the players per-
form in the beautiful stadiums in
front of thousands of loud and ador-
ing fans. As I watched the sports on
television, I forgot about actually
attempting to act out such events in
my backyard. I almost always gave
in to my friends and left the televi-
sion to play, basically because John
did.
During these pickup games, I never
remember giving much effort from
an athletic standpoint I always tried
as hard as it seemed the players were
trying on television. Everyone but I
knew that professional athletes made
their hard jobs look easy. I went
through the motions and did not per-
form very well. These actions were
the roots which would later grow
into my reputation of being non-ath-
letic.
Frankly, the fact that I was not con-
sidered athletic hurt my feelings. I
never showed any frustration though.
I took it in stride and went back to
my somewhat desolate home. That is
where I shined as a sports star in my
own way. Whenever a game was not
on television I would mimic the
action in my yard in the absence of
everyone but my dog. This was the
forum where I could make the Lynn
Swann type catches, play baseball
like my favorite Pirates and score
goals like Sil Epps of the Pittsburgh
Penguins. If for some reason I did
not make the dramatic play (for
example; accidentally dropping the
ball or tripping over my only com-
panion) I could forgive my self -con-
sciousness and start the play over as
if it never had happened.
I was in my own world on that
field-running around and through the
players who were invisible to anyone
except me. I could hear the cheers
from the crowd even though I was
surrounded by trees and shrubs. I
was living out every child's dream
within the friendly confines of my
head.
Being a child who only enjoyed
one perspective of sports, the very
thought of organized athletics fright-
ened me. All of my friends could not
wait to be a part of a baseball team,
especially John. Due to peer pres-
sure, I signed up for little league try-
outs. All of my friends did well in
their tryout attempts and were draft-
ed on the first day by some of the
better organizations in the league.
My lackadaisical performance land-
ed me a position on the new expan-
sion team, the Reynoldsville Elks
Royals. My career as a baseball
player was launched. I hated baseball
that first season. My problem pre-
ceded me with my coaches. The best
part was I only had to play a manda-
tory two innings per game (a state lit-
tle league rule). I would watch the
tfrst five innings and cheer on my
companions, but the thought of actu-
ally having to participate seldom
crossed my mind.
When the sixth inning rolled
around I wanted to run and hide from
my coach, but my utter excuse for an
ego made me stay and pay the conse-
quences for joining in the first place.
I entered each game in the same fash-
ion, tentatively. Most children charge
onto the field like a rebel force on the
attack, but not Gary. I nonchalantly
trotted onto the field trying to show
off for the fans. On the outside I
looked happy to be mere, but
deep down I couldn't wait for the
game to end. While in the heat
of battle my self confidence was
nowhere to be found. Most players
wanted the ball all of the time. I
constantly prayed that the ball
wouldn't be hit to me so I couldn't
make a mistake and let everyone

Clearing up any misconceptions anyone has about the Cold War
Dear Editor,
As a student of history I
believe it is only proper that I
step in to give my view on the
Cold War. Drawing on my vast
knowledge of the complex
structure and socio-political
dynamic of communism ( I took
a poli-sci course once and have
watched "The Hunt for Red
October three times., good
movie) to clear up any
misconceptions anyone may
have. A German gentleman
named Karl Marx (ranked fourth
alter Chico as the favorite Marx.,
see " Duck Soup ", another fine
film) wrote a pamphlet outlining
the concept of, and progression
toward communism. WHAT IS
COMMUNISM? Well
communism, in a nutshell, would
be just like communism in a
country, except on a much
smaller scale. In this communist
nutshell the proletariat nuts, the
nuts who actually do the work,
would own the means of
production and would thusly be
assured to receive the sum total
of assets merited by their labor.
In the existing systems of
capitalism, the bourgeoisie nuts
(as awkward to pronounce as it
is to spell) own the means of
production and therefore profit
by the labor of the proletariat
nuts; who have to settle for a
paid wage. In other words, the
capitalist nuts get rich from the
toil and sweat of the proletariat
nuts. It would seem that the
communist nutshell model is
more fair, the only problem is
that in this model, like the
capitalist model, the leadership is

still nuts. Maybe our government
hasn't had the best record in
regards to seeking alliance with
brutal right-wing dictators like
Samoza, the Shah, Mobutu,
Marcos, Trujillo, or Pinochet
(whose portrayal of Cousin Balki
on "Perfect Strangers" was
brilliant). Certainly they were
not the sort of people you would
invite to a picnic, but they were
at least as equal in
humanitarianism as., say, Joseph
Stalin, who killed well over 27
people during his climb to power
(I'd have to open a book to get a
more precise number. . .but I
know it was more than 27)
including women, children,
lawyers, and even kittens.
Admittedly kittens are not
people, but neither to a great
extent, are lawyers. Maybe
communism is Utopian, just look
at the paradise, spectacular
standard of living, and majesty
that is Cuba, communist China,
or the former Soviet Union
(which is now little more than a
cartographer's nightmare).
Capitalism may not be fair,
equitable, or especially just. It is,
however, a lot more pleasant
than standing in line for two
years for a loaf of bread. The
Cold War may have been a bad
idea, but like a graduating class
of American kids who can
actually read, it is a thing of the
past. I also think that corporate
America may not be as powerful
as some people seem to think.
While admittedly it is more
powerful than others may think.
That's where I stand on that.
Perhaps I've oversimplified a
serious issue... but I'm just a
student. What do I know?
Sincerely,
Michael Zug
"Call has lost its sense of shame, as well as dignity and propriety"
To the Editor of the Clarion Call :
This letter is in regards to last
week's article about, Phjljp
Fragale.
First of all, let me voice my
distaste at the heartless manner
in which you reported his death.
How and why Philip Fragale
passed away are not the issues,
the fact that he is gone is all that
was necessary. - -~ •• ■ -
Reporting rumors or making
innuendos serves no purpose
other than to further hurt his
family and friends.
Everyone has the right to
expect a certain amount of
privacy in their lives, especially
at a time like this. I feel that the
Clarion Call has lost its sense of
shame, as well as dignity and
propriety, in this" instance.
It is too bad that there was no
one there to overlook what was
being published in the school
newspaper regarding Mr.
Fragale. Perhaps they could have
stepped in and reminded Mr.
Geesey that sympathy is in order
here, not "sensationalism."
Those of us who are his friends
have an empty void to fill and
should not have to spend time
reading articles such as the one
printed last week.
I understand "free speech" is
our right, but we do not have a
right to inflict more pain at a
time when there is such
vulnerability.

Corporate elite protects its overseas investments and interests
Dear Editor,
Last week Gary Sudborough
vividly called our apathetic
attention to the overwhelming
control and influence that the
corporate owned media exercises
over our government, its policies
both here and abroad while
limiting our knowledge of the
actual realities.
The corporate elite protects its
overseas investments and
interests utilizing U.S. foreign
policy, foreign assistance, the
CIA and our military to wage
war, murder, torture and
instability on numerous peoples
struggling for peace, justice,
democracy and hope for a better
economic future.
Our School of the Americas at
Ft. Benning trains Latin
American officers to kill, torture
and assassinate their own people.
We have supported the most
vile, bloodthirsty, anti-
democratic and repressive
reactionary dictators, including
Pinochet, the Shah of Iran,
Somoza, Trujillo, Suharto and
Mobutu. When not savaging
their own peoples they often
waged war on their neighbors.
We aided and abetted the
Contras in Nicaragua, Marcos in
the Phillipines and the worst
elements in Cuba and Haiti.
Despite the extensive
dominance of the corporate
world over our system we almost
secretly provide, but hardly
question, the many billions that
go to corporate welfare at the
very time we burn, slash and
condemn the much smaller sums
that go to all classes of our
unfortunates, the unemployed,
disabled, homeless, etc.
Would that we were better
informed and cared more.
Sincerely,
Alan J. Wilson

"Just remember the good things about him"
Dear Editor,
On Sunday evening, when
Phillip Fragale (or Phil as most
of us knew him) passed away, I
and the rest of the campus lost a
very close friend.
Phil was a friend to everyone
and will be greatly missed and
never forgotten. He was always
there for you when you needed
something or just wanted to Jag
around.
I know that I used to go in to
the equipment room just to say
hey and hang out a little bit. I
considered Phil a good friend as
did many other's, and it is going
to be a struggle to get over the
loss of such a great friend.
The best thing is to just
remember the good things about
him. Remember his blue Clarion
shirt, anyone who knew him
knovv's what I'm talking about.
Remember his sense of humor,
remember his chat's about the
Steelers or Pen's, he always had
something to say about them.
But most importantly,
remember that loving man that
he was, though he may not have
quite known how to show it, he
loved and cared about everyone.
Phil you will always be loved
and always be missed. We miss We miss you and love you,
you! Jesse Irvin and the rest of

Senate votes to abolish DC A
HARRISBURG - Gov. Tom Ridge's proposal to abolish an
agency that acts as a liaison between Pennsylvania and its 2,700
local government bodies won easy passage Tuesday in the
Republican-controlled Senate.
The 29-19 vote to dismantle the Department of Community
Affairs handed the Republican governor a victory a day after 24
members of his own party joined all 101 House Democrats to reject
a key part of his welfare overhaul proposal. The DCA proposal now
goes to the House. For 30 years, local governments have depended
on DCA for training and technical assistance on matters as diverse
as pension funds, grant applications and environmental regulations.
DCA also has helped guide communities that have been declared as
economically distressed. But Ridge believes the department's
functions can be handled elsewhere and for less cost.
King's drunken driving trial starts
NEW CASTLE - The 20-year-old rookie police officer who
arrested Rodney King on a drunken driving charge said he never
saw King driving, found no liquor in his car and never asked him
what he drank. Union Township Officer Clint Garver testified at
King's trial in Lawrence County Court on Tuesday. King had called
him "Officer Goober" and "Officer Gerber" at a hospital where
King refused to have his blood tested for alcohol. King was arrested
May 21, 1995, in Union Township, about 50 miles northwest of
Pittsburgh, after a car in which he and two other people were riding
got stuck in a muddy yard. "It's incompetent," Carmen Lamancusa,
King's lawyer, said.
Education officials offer counter-
proposal
HARRISBURG - An alliance of education officials offered a
counter-budget proposal to the Senate Education Committee
Tuesday, but senators said the state would have to raise taxes to
meet the demands.
And because the House referred a welfare reform bill to
committee Monday night, lawmakers will now be looking to cut
other areas, including schools, said the Republican senators.
The Alliance for School Aid Partnership, a coalition of
statewide education organizations, wants to add $139 million for
the state's 501 school districts. But Gov. Tom Ridge has proposed a
budget freeze for 1996-97, holding the districts to their 1995-96
funding levels.
IMF offers Russia $10.2 billion loan
WASHINGTON - The International Monetary Fund agreed
Tuesday to offer Russia new loans worth $10.2 billion over the next
three years, nearly doubling what Russia owes to the organization.
The total is the second-highest the fund has offered in its 52-year
history, exceeded only by a package of $17.8 in new loans to
Mexico last year. Russia already owes the fund $10.8 billion. The
World Bank calculated Russia's total debt last year at $ 115.9
billion.

down. I would be so nervous that when
(he ball was hit to me I would foul
things up about fifty percent of the time.
The only consistency in my game
was that, when batting, I could draw a
walk. In Little League a good pitcher
with control was hard to find so I would
take my walks with pride. When I did
not walk, I would strike out or hit a
meager grounder somewhere. Needless
to say, I did not get too many
opportunities to exhibit my skills with
the stick.
The recollection of that first season is
basically a wrap-up of my baseball
tenure. I continued with my two
innings of work each game throughout
the Little League and Senior Little
League programs. At age 16, I entered
my final game without facing any
pressured situations.
The last game of my Senior Little
League career was huge. We had a
chance to make it into the playoffs with
a win over our rivals from the
neighboring town of Sykesville. I
remember that going into the game I
was terrified. I was chastising the rule
makers who made it mandatory that
every player must participate. I did not
even want to report to the game that
day, but I did not want everyone to
know that I really was a coward. I just
was hoping that we were so far ahead
by the sixth inning, when I normally
would enter, that it would not matter
anyhow.
The game started harmlessly enough.
I was sitting on the bench, happily out
of the starting line up, with my
teammates who were psyched for the
big game. I acted as if I were ready to
take on the world and singlehandedly
crush the other team, but deep down I
was trembling with fear. Those last two
innings seemed to be lurking in my
midsection like an army of butterflies.
The game was a thriller from the
outset. It had everything a classic game
should have: great pitching, timely
hitting, and error free fielding. As (he
game wore on my heart climbed higher
and higher into my throat. I watched
the wonderful game, but my mind was
focused on the innings column on the
scoreboard. As it got nearer to the
number six. I continuously became
more nervous.
It happened, time had not played in
my favor. The sixth inning was upon
me. The worst part about it was (he
game was tied at one. My coach, in an
act of sheer benevolence, assigned me
to the designated hitter spot.
I was on deck as the first batter
stepped in. He got on first base, and I
was given the bunt signal in hopes to
move him into scoring position.
Bunting was my only hidden talent in
my baseball repertoire, but I was still
scared to death. My nerves were
probably the main reason that I popped
the ball straight up into the air enabling
the catcher to camp underneath it and
squeeze it for an out.
I left a potential winning run at first
base. I was unhappy with my
performance, of course, but part of me
was happy that I was the designated
hitter position in line up. I would not
have to play the field, and if the game
continued at a slow pace with not much
scoring my spot in the lineup would not
see the light of the batters box again.
The next inning was the longest in the
history of the sport, I think. The lead
changed hands. It was tied in the
bottom of the seventh inning, and it
appeared that if our team would rally I
would have to bat. The first two batters
quickly made outs and our best hitter
was up with me next in line. He ripped
a ball to left field and in heroic fashion
ended up on the third base. So that set
the stage for the biggest moment in my
career.
The crowd, still buzzing over the play,
knew I was the ticket to ride into the
playoffs. My coach reassured me that I
could do it. I stepped up to the plate
with what felt like electricity running
through my veins. The first pitch was
on its way, and I do not know what
went through my head but I swung at
it: CRACK!
I lined it in(o left field. I had done it!
For an instance I felt like I was back in
my yard being the hero. I dropped the
bat through my hands and slowly began
to trot to first base.
The runner from third scored. To win
the game all I had to do was make it to
first base. 1 was triumphant as I waltzed
down the line. The crowd was
screaming; my teammates were
celebrating. The left fielder was
charging at the ball like a bull.
As I realized the ball was in the air
headed for the first baseman, I began
running as fast as I could. First base
suddenly looked a mile away. I felt as
if I was looking at the first baseman
through the wrong end of a pair of
binoculars. I dove to the base as 1
approached it. Coincidentally. the ball
reached the base at nearly the same time
that I did. The dust cleared. The
attention of everyone, most importantly
me, was on the umpire. To this day, I
will never forget what he said. In a
lion-like tone of voice he roared,
"You're OUT! "What a catastrophe! I
hobbled back to the bench. I will never
forget that feeling. I was all alone,
nobody even looked at me. I wanted to
go home!As luck would have it, we
won the game in the very next inning.
My teammates got me off of the hook. I
was, and still am, able to look back on it
as a comical event in my life. Most
importantly, I was able to watch it all
unfold as the spectator I always had
aspired to become!

Bob Dole now seems comfortable
referring to himself as the Republican
presidential nominee. Although Dole
had enough unofficial delegates
following last weeks Mid-West
primaries, he was reluctant to claim
victory before California's March 26
contest. The elector-rich state is crucial
to any presidential bid and Dole wanted
the California voters to feel essential to
his nomination. With that victory behind
him, he is virtually assured the
nomination. Dole now focuses more on
the general election and his chief rival
Bill Clinton. Other forces, however, are
looming on the horizon.
Former presidential candidate Ross
Perot has started hinting that he may run
again, this time on his newly formed
Reform Party ticket. If the thought of
Ross Perot wasn't frightening enough to
Dole, Pat Buchanan continues to
insinuate that he may wage an
independent bid for the White House if
he is denied a significant role at the GOP
Convention in August. Most analyst
believe that a race among Clinton, Dole
and either or both Perot and Buchanan
would almost assure Clinton's re-
election.
President Clinton, however, is also
facing some potential trouble. Consumer
rights advocate Ralph Nader has
indicated that he intends to run for
president either as an independent or on
the Green Party ticket.
Nader appeals to many in the traditional
Democratic base, due to his support for
organized labor and wealth
redistribution.
It is believed that Nader could take as
much as 10% of the vote away from
President Clinton in important states such
as California, allowing Dole to win a
plurality. Former Connecticut Senator
and (independent) Governor Lowell

University Relations
State funding has been released
for two renovation projects that
are being completed at Clarion
University. Clarion University of
Pennsylvania President Diane L.
Reinhard announced at the recent
meeting of the Clarion University
Council of Trustees that
$399,147 was released.
The Shared Capital Project
funds released include $285,000
for the Montgomery Hall renova-
tion at the Venango Campus in
Oil City and $114,147 for Phase I
of the Founders Hall renovation
on the Clarion campus.
"Clarion University will pro-
vide the remainder of the money
for the $1,367,000 Montgomery
Hall project," explained Heather
Haberaecker, vice president for
finance and administration.
"Administration of the project is
delegated to Clarion University."
The Clarion University foun-
dation has also recently
announced the pledging of
$150,000 to the Investing in
Futures Capital Campaign to be
used for the Montgomery Hall
Project, Venango Campus, Oil
City.
The Samuel Justus and

granting of the funds. The grant
will be paid at $50,000 per year
for three years beginning in 1996
with the funding to come from
established trusts. The trusts are
Samuel Justus Charitable Trust,
Edith C. Justus Charitable Trust,
Laura Smedley Charitable Trust,
F. & E. Fair Memorial Fund, and
C.L. Suhr Charitable Trust.
The Montgomery Hall project
will include the renovation of
structural, electrical, heating,
ventilating, and air conditioning
for the third and fourth floors;
configuring the rooms for class-
room space, computer laborato-
ries, meeting rooms, and support-
ing office areas; and meeting
building code requirements and
accommodations to support the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
Haberaecker has projected a 10
1/2 month construction period
concluding between June and
August 1997. "The timetable will
depend upon the preferences of
the Venango campus constituen-
cy in terms of vacating the build-
ing so the work can be complet-
ed," she said.
The Founders Hall project is to
be divided into two phases. The
first phase of the project is cov-
ered by the current funding. It
will pay for additional structure
investigation, internal demoli-
tion, asbestos removal, and lead
paint abatement for the building
constructed in 1894. "The
Commonwealth's Department of
General Services is responsible
for the construction," says Clare
Heidler, director of facilities
management and planning.
"They will set the bid date and
the construction schedule. We
project that it will be the end of
calendar year 1998 before it is
complete."
Phase II of the $2,281,822 pro-
ject, with Clarion providing
$870,575 of the final cost, will
involve construction and renova-
tion. The cost is to include the
installation of an elevator; con-
figuration of the building for
classrooms, offices, and a com-
puter lab; and replacement of
heating, plumbing, electrical
wiring, and upgrading the fire
alarm system to bring everything
up to current safety code require-
ments.
Clarion's portion of the funding
for these renovations is coming
through the "Investing in
Futures" Capital Campaign. It
has a five-year, $8 million goal
for their campaign. This includes
$3 million for the renovation of
Founders Hall and Harvey Hall
on the Clarion campus and
Montgomery Hall at the Venango
Campus, Oil City. In the area of
additional grants, $2.1 million
has been awarded for scholarship
endowments, $2.5 million for
annual fund-supported scholar-
ships and a variety of campus
programs and projects, and
$400,000 for an endowed cultur-
al series.

Recreation center referendum is passed by student body
by Matt Geesey,
News Editor
The student referendum for the
new recreation center was held
last week on March 1-9 and 20.
The results have been tabulated
and the proposed fee schedule
proposed for the recreation center
has passed. There were 953 bal-
lots that were counted, with
approximately 20% of the uni-
versity's student body voting.
There were approximately 4,315
eligible voters. The results were
compiled with 550 students
responding with a "yes" vote and
403 students responding with a
"no" vote.
Mr. Dave Tomeo, director of
the Gemmell Student Center,
served as the chairman of the
committee which conducted the
feasibility study for the recre-
ation center that included the
issue of the fee schedule. He stat-
ed that he was, "definitely
pleased the vote was successful
but was hoping for more of a
voter turnout."
Dr. George Curtis, Vice
President for Siudent Affairs also
expressed concern over voter
turnout. He stated ,"... it was very
easy for ballots to be turned in
this year. I would have hoped for
at least 1500 ballots." Even
though, the number of ballots
wasn't as great as they had antic-
ipated, Curtis said that it was the
largest number of votes for any
student election held in the past.
Previously at a Student Senate
meeting, several senators
expressed opinions about the way
the referendum was being han-
dled.
Dr. Curtis said at this week's
meeting, everything went
smoothly. He stated the Senate
supports the recreation center
itself very strongly.
Each individual student was
mailed a brochure that contained
their own personal ballot. To pre-
vent students from placing more
than one ballot in a box, each bal-
lot had the student's mailing
address on it and the student had
to sign the ballot also. There was
evidence of about four duplicate
ballots but they were discarded.
The referendum will now be
sent to the university's Council of
Trustees to be voted on at their
May meeting.
The administration must decide
before it is sent if the referendum
is going to proceed as it is written
now.
If the referendum is passed by
the Council of Trustees, it will be
resubmitted to the Board of
Governors for approval at their
July meeting.
The construction for the recre-
ation center can begin when the
Board of Governors passes the
referendum. The university will
hire architects and engineers for
the construction and long-range
planning will begin.
The fee schedule for the pro-
posed recreation center that was
the focus of the student referen-
dum is as follows: From 1996-97
freshmen will be assessed $40
per semester, sophomores $20,
juniors $10 and seniors $5. Then,
during 1997-98 the fees increase
each semester to $80 for fresh-
men , $40 for sophomores, $20
for juniors, and $10 for seniors.
Finally, the semester fee in 1998-
99 will be set at $80 for all stu-
dents.
In conclusion, Tomeo stated,
"We wish we could have gotten
over 1,000 votes."

Senate votes to abolish DC A
HARRISBURG - Gov. Tom Ridge's proposal to abolish an
agency that acts as a liaison between Pennsylvania and its 2,700
local government bodies won easy passage Tuesday in the
Republican-controlled Senate.
The 20-19 vote to dismantle the Department of Community
Affairs handed the Republican governor a victory a day after 24
members of his own party joined all 101 House Democrats to reject
a key pari of his welfare overhaul proposal. The OCA proposal now
goes to the House. For 30 years, local governments have depended
on DCA for training and technical assistance on matters as diverse
as pension funds, grant applications and environmental regulations.
DC A also has helped guide communities that have been declared as
economically distressed. But Ridge believes the department's
functions can be handled elsewhere and for less cost.
King's drunken driving trial starts
NEW CASTLE - The 20-year-old rookie police officer who
arrested Rodney King on a drunken driving charge said he never
saw King driving, found no liquor in his car and never asked him
what he drank. Union Township Officer Clint Carver testified at
Kings trial in Lawrence County Court on Tuesday. King had called
him "Officer Goober" and "Officer Gerber" at a hospital where
King refused to have his blood tested for alcohol. King was arrested
May 21, 1995, in Union Township, about 50 miles northwest of
Pittsburgh, after a car in which he and two other people were riding
got stuck in a muddy yard. "It's incompetent," Carmen Lamancusa,
King's lawyer, said.
Education officials offer counter-
proposal
HARRISBURG - An alliance of education officials offered a
counter-budget proposal to the Senate Education Committee
Tuesday, but senators said the state would have to raise taxes to
meet the demands.
And because the House referred a welfare reform bill to
committee Monday night, lawmakers will now be looking to cut
other areas, including schools, said the Republican senators.
The Alliance for School Aid Partnership, a coalition of
statewide education organizations, wants to add $139 million for
the state's 501 school districts. But Gov. Tom Ridge has proposed a
budget freeze for 1996-97, holding the districts to their 1995-96
funding levels.
IMF offers Russia $10.2 billion loan
WASHINGTON - The International Monetary Fund agreed
Tuesday to offer Russia new loans worth $10.2 billion over the next
three years, nearly doubling what Russia owes to the organization.
The total is the second-highest the fund has offered in its 52-year
history, exceeded only by a package of $17.8 in new loans to
Mexico last year. Russia already owes the fund $10.8 billion. The
World Bank calculated Russia's total debt last year at $ 115.9
billion.

Hide Park cant from pg. 2
down I would be so nervous that when
the ball was hit to me I would foul
things up about fifty percent of the time
The only consistency in my game
was that, when batting. I could draw a
walk In Little League a good pitcher
with control was hard to find so I would
take my walks with pride. When 1 did
not walk, I would strike out or hit a
meager grounder somewhere. Needless
to say. I did not get too many
opportunities to exhibit my skills with
the stick.
The recollection of that first season is
basically a wrap-up of my baseball
tenure I continued with my two
innings of work each game throughout
the Little League and Senior Little
League programs. At age 16, I entered
my final game without facing any
pressured situations.
The last game of my Senior Little
League career was huge. We had a
chance to make it into the playoffs with
a win over our rivals from the
neighboring town of Sykesville. I
remember that going into the game I
was terrified. I was chastising the rule
makers who made it mandatory that
every player must participate. I did not
even want to report to the game that
day. but I did not want everyone to
know that I really was a coward. I just
was hoping that we were so far ahead
by the sixth inning, when I normally
would enter, that it would not matter
anyhow.
The game started harmlessly enough.
I was sitting on the bench, happily out
of the starting line up, with my
teammates who were psyched for the
big game. I acted as if I were ready to
take on the world and singlehandedly
crush the other team, but deep down I
was trembling with fear. Those last two
innings seemed to be lurking in my
midsection like an army of butterflies.
The game was a thriller from the
outset It had everything a classic game
should have: great pitching, timely
hitting, and error free fielding As the
game wore on my heart climbed higher
and higher into my throat I watched
the wonderful game, but my mind was
focused on the innings column on the
scoreboard As it got nearer to the
number six. I continuously became
more nervous.
It happened, time had not played in
my favor. The sixth inning was upon
me. The worst part about it was the
game was tied at one. My coach, in an
act of sheer benevolence, assigned me
to the designated hitter spot
I was on deck as the first batter
stepped in He got on first base, and I
was given the bunt signal in hopes to
move him into scoring position.
Bunting was my only hidden talent in
my baseball repertoire, but I was still
scared to death. My nerves were
probably the main reason that I popped
the ball straight up into the air enabling
the catcher to camp underneath it and
squeeze it for an out.
I left a potential winning run at first
base. I was unhappy with my
performance, of course, but part of me
was happy that I was the designated
hitter position in line up. I would not
have to play the field, and if the game
continued at a slow pace with not much
scoring my spot in the lineup would not
see the light of the batters box again.
The next inning was the longest in the
history of the sport, I think. The lead
changed hands. It was tied in the
bottom of the seventh inning, and it
appeared that if our team would rally I
would have to bat. The first two batters
quickly made outs and our best hitter
was up with me next in line. He ripped
a ball to left field and in heroic fashion
ended up on the third base. So that set
the stage for the biggest moment in my
career.
The crowd, still buzzing over the play,
knew I was the ticket to ride into the
playoffs My coach reassured me that I
could do it. I stepped up to the plate
with what felt like electricity running
through my veins. The first pitch was
on its way. and I do not know what
went through my head but I swung at
it: CRACK!
I lined it into left field. I had done it !
For an instance 1 felt like I was back in
my yard being the hero I dropped the
bat through my hands and slowly began
to trot to first base.
The runner from third scored. To win
the game all I had to do was make it to
first base. I was triumphant as I waltzed
down the line. The crowd was
screaming; my teammates were
celebrating. The left fielder was
charging at the ball like a bull.
As I realized the ball was in the air
headed for the first baseman, I began
running as fast as I could. First base
suddenly looked a mile away. I felt as
if I was looking at the first baseman
through the wrong end of a pair of
binoculars. I dove to the base as I
approached it. Coincidentally. the ball
reached the base at nearly the same time
that I did. The dust cleared. The
attention of everyone, most importantly
me, was on the umpire. To this day. I
will never forget what he said. In a
lion-like tone of voice he roared.
"You're OUT! "What a catastrophe! I
hobbled back to the bench. I will never
forget that feeling I was all alone,
nobody even looked at me. I wanted to
go home!As luck would have it, we
won the game in the very next inning.
My teammates got me off of the hook. 1
was. and still am, able to look back on it
as a comical event in my life. Most
importantly. I was able to watch it all
unfold as the spectator I always had
aspired to become!

Weekly Political Update
By Todd Eberly
Bob Dole now seems comfortable
referring to himself as the Republican
presidential nominee. Although Dole
had enough unofficial delegates
following last weeks Mid-West
primaries, he was reluctant to claim
victory before California's March 26
contest. The elector-rich state is crucial
to any presidential bid and Dole wanted
the California voters to feel essential to
his nomination With that victory behind
him. he is virtually assured the
nonunauon. Dole now focuses more on
the general election and his chief rival
Bill Clinton. Other forces, however, are
looming on the horizon.
Former presidential candidate Ross
Perot has started hinung that he may run
again, this time on his newly formed
Reform Party ticket. If the thought of
Ross Perot wasn't frightening enough to
Dole, Pat Buchanan continues to
insinuate that he may wage an
independent bid for the Whife House if
he is denied a significant role at the GOP
Convention in August. Most analyst
believe that a race among Clinton. Dole
and either or both Perot and Buchanan
would almost assure Clinton's re-
election.
President Clinton, however, is also
facing some potential trouble. Consumer
rights advocate Ralph Nader has
indicated that he intends to run for
president either as an independent or on
the Green Party ticket
Nader appeals to many in the traditional
Democratic base, due to his support for
organized labor and wealth
redistribution.
It is believed thai Nader could take as
much as 10% of the vote away from
President Clinton in important states such
as California, allowing Dole to win a
plurality. Former Connecticut Senator
and (independent) Governor Lowell
Weicker has stated that he is considering
a run for the White House as well.
It is believed that Weicker 's liberal
leaning philosophies would be more
attractive to potential Clinton voters than
to potential Dole voters. Weiker.

LOSE 20 POUNDS
IN TWO WEEKS!
Famous U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet
During the non-snow off season the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team
members used the "Ski Team" diet to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. That's
right - 20 pounds in 14 days! The basis of the diet is chemical food
action and was devised by a famous Colorado physician especially for
the U.S. Ski Team. Normal energy is maintained (very important!) while
reducing. You keep "full" - no starvation - because the diet is designed
that way. It's a diet that is easy to follow whether you work, travel or stay
at home. (For men, too!)
This is. honestly, a fantastically successful diet. If it weren't, the U.S.
Women's Alpine Ski Team wouldn't be permitted to use it! Right? So.
give yourself the same break the U.S. Ski Team gets. Lose weight the
scientific, proven way. Even if you've tried all the other diets, you owe it to
yourself to try the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet. That is. if you
really do want to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. Order today! Tear this out
as a reminder.
Send only $8.95 ($9.60 in CaJif.)-add .50 cents RUSH service to:
American Institute, 7343 El Camino Real, Suite 206, Atascadero. CA

Because that's what the Ski Team Diet will do. ^< Q95
at several embassies participating
in the conference. The embassies
were the Embassy of Belgium,
the Embassy of Egypt, the
Embassy of New Zealand, and
the Embassy of the Republic of
China..
An evening of activities was
also offered at the Kennedy
Center for the enjoyment of the
conference participants. The cul-
mination of the conference
included an opportunity to attend
a White House press briefing
with President Bill Clinton.
Some of the featured speakers
on hand for the conference were
William Bennett, former
Secretary of Education in the
Reagan Administration and now
the co-director of "Empower
America"; James Billington, the
librarian of Congress; Newt
Gingrich, Speaker of the House
of Representatives; Sheila Tate,
former press secretary to
President Ronald Reagan and
now the president of Powell Tate;
Senator Christopher "Kit" Bond
from Missouri, Senator Byron
Dorgan from North Dakota, and
Senator Orrin Hatch from Utah.
Commenting on the trip, Mary
Beth Curry felt, "the trip was
mentally exhausting because of
trie constant speeches, receptions,
and press briefings, but it was all
worth it just to be there as a rep-
resentative of Clarion
University."
Mr. Art Barlow commented
"Every citizen in this republic
should go to Washington, DC to
experience the democratic
process. I was very pleased that
some of our school journalists
got the chance to participate."
Kathryn Zaikoski summed up
the experience by saying," My
experience in Washington, DC
was very memorable. The energy
in our nation's capital is exhiler-
ating. I'm glad I could be part of
it. President Clinton gave an
impromptu speech I will never
forget."

Student Senate elections to be held
by Matt Geesey
News Editor
Student Senate elections are to
be held after spring break for
next year's Senate. The dates for
the elections will be April 16,17,
and 18. Voting tables will be
located at Carlson Library,
Chandler Dining Hall, Gemmell
Student Center, and other desig-
nated places on campus. The
times for voting haven't been
officially set but will be available
after the upcoming break.
There are 33 candidates running
for the Student Senate this year
which includes 4 senators run-
ning for reelection.
The four incumbent senators are
Senator Michael Cox, Senator
Thomas Swenson, Senator
Delphine Djossou, and Senator
Stacey Henninger.
The candidates range from fresh-
men to seniors and each had to
fill out an application form to run
for the Senate. Each candidate
must have a 2.0 grade point aver-
age and 50 signatures of mem-
bers of the student body.
Each application also includes a
written platform that states each
candidates' achievements and
expectations while in office. The
deadline for the applications was
March 15.
According to Senator Michael
Cox, chairman of the Student
Senate Committee on Elections,
some applications needed to have
the deadline extended but a valid
excuse was given for each
instance.
Senator Cox hopes for an
increase in voter turnout this
year. In the past, the average of
people voting was less than 109? .
This year, the Elections
Committee will actually tabulate
the number of students voting to
record an actual account of the
popular vote.
Senator Cox hopes that the exis-
tence of more advertising for the
elections and more accessible
voting locations will help in an
increase of voters.
Dr. George Curtis, Vice-
President of Student Affairs and
advisor to the Student Senate,
also expressed his concern about
voter turnout. He said, "It would
be very interesting to see a large
voter turnout such as was seen
for the recreation center referen-
dum."
Responsiblities of the recent
senators will be needed to help
make the elections run efficient-
iy-
This year, each senator is
required to attend the two Senate
meetings before the elections to
help prepare for the process.
The reponsilbilities for the new
senators will be similar to the
reponsilbilities of the current sen-
ators.
In conclusion, Senator Cox
expressed his concern about the
amount of disinterest on this
campus. "Students usually com-
plain about problems on campus
and then don't vote. We hope
more students will get involved
so more changes can be made for
the university."

like to wish
everyone a

Computer based financial aid program offered for students
Courtesy of University
Relations
Two computer programs are
now being implemented to help
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania students to plan for
their financial aid needs accord-
ing to Ken Grugel, director of
financial aid.
A recent addition to Clarion
University's World Wide Web
Page (http://www.clarion.edu/) is
a financial aid section called
fastWEB sponsored by the
Student Aid Research Through
Technology based in Sarasota,
Florida. This free service pro-
vides access to a database con-
taining information about
180,000 scholarships, grants, fel-
lowships, and loan listings repre-
senting billions of dollars in pri-
vate sector funding.
Grugel stated. "This informa-
tion at the same address as the
Clarion University page is ideal
for a high school student looking
for a college."
"Once a student accesses this
area, they fill in their major, class
rank, GPA, school year, career
objectives, hobbies, heritage,
religion, and other information,"
says Mary Jo Phillips, freshman
financial aid advisor. "FastWEB
creates a private mailbox for the
student based on this information
and provides a list of awards for
which the student is eligible to
apply. There is also a form letter
in the computer program that
they can fill out, print, and send
to apply for the scholarships.
Plans are now underway to load
the scholarships and grants avail-
able from Clarion University into
a similar program."
Clarion University is the sec-
ond member of the State System
of Higher Education (SSHE), and
the first in western Pennsylvania,
to incorporate a Financial Need
Estimator into its computer gen-
erated help. This program will
enable students to know in
advance how much money they
will need to attend Clarion.
In working with the Financial
Need Estimator, a student
answers a number of questions
including background financial
information. This information is
typed into a computer program
which will evaluate it and will
provide an estimated financial
aid package.
The printout will list tuition
fees and room and board fees for
Clarion University less any
grants that a student is receiving.
It also lists possible sources for
loans available to students.
In conclusion, Grugel said," All
of these efforts are based on
Clarion University's commit-
ment to attracting students and
enrollment management. There
will now be a smoother flow
from high school to the admis-
sion office to financial aid. With
the availability of the Financial
Aid Estimator a student and his
or her parents can quickly receive
information on how much finan-
cial aid would be available to
them if they chose to attend
Clarion."
Oregon students organize to fight racism
University Relations
Romaine McClune(right), a clerk steno in the Clarion
University Office of Field Services was recently presented
with the first Making Life Better at Clarion award by
President Diane Reinhard. The monthly award recognizes
employees who go above and beyond to make Clarion
University a better place for students. Selected by a mar-
keting sub-committee from campus-wide nominations,
McClune of RD 3 New Bethlehem has worked as a secretary

University of Oregon and
Oregon State University students
are fighting against an ugly spate
of racist incidents that have
plagued both campuses.
At the University of Oregon in
Eugene, a white supremacy
group has distributed racist pam-
phlets on campus, while Oregon
State University in Coravallis has
grappled with the alleged harass-
ment of a black student by three
other students.
While the recent racist incidents
on both campuses are unrelated,
they have prompted students to
organize against bigotry.
More than 1,500 Oregon State
University students, faculty and
staff members recenUy joined in
a daylong boycott of university
services and classes.
The March 13 protest took place
the same day two white OSU stu-
dents were indicted by a grand
jury on charges of attempting to
intimidate a black student on
campus.
Eric Hutchinson, 21, and anoth-
er OSU student are accused of
shouting racial ephitets and try-
ing to urinate on a black student.
The white students reportedly
were standing on a dormitory
balcony as the black student tried
to enter the building.
Earlier in the month, posters for
a black candidate for OSU stu-
dent government were defaced
with racial slurs, as were posters
announcing the upcoming cam-
pus visit of Anita Hill.
In response, black students at
OSU called for a boycott of
classes and organized a campus
demonstration that attracted stu-

Students marched silently
through campus; Some carried
signs that read, "Racist people
suck" and "Unlearn miseduca-
tion."
"It's up to you to hold people
accountable when you see acts of
racism," junior Michael Johnson
told a crowd of demonstrators
gathered at OSlTs quadrangle.
Johnson was the candidate whose
posters were defaced.
At the University of Oregon,
student leaders have formed an
anti-hate coalition.
A white supremacy group call-
ing itself the Aryan Pride distrib-
uted flyers that called the white
race "EARTH'S MOST
ENDANGERED SPECIES" and
featured an unflattering carica-
ture of an interracial couple.
It was the fourth time this year
that racial pamphlets have sur-
faced at UO, students said.
The flyers lambasted Jews,
interracial relationships, and non-
white immigrants.

As a Student Senator, I would act as an ear for the
problems, concerns, and ideas of the student body. I
strongly believe that best solutions to problems should
come from us, the students. Very often this does not
happen. If -elected, I want to hear new ideas. It is up to
you, the voters, to give me the opportunity to hear you.
Michael Cox
Last year, when I was elected to the Student Senate,
I stated in my platform that above all, I would do the
best that I could in representing you, the student body.
We all know there are many problems on this campus.
For the past year I have fulfilled my promise to repre-
sent the student body the best I can concerning these
issues. With your vote this year, I hope to continue
doing that.
Lori Dando
I feel that being a part of Student Senate would be a
wonderful experience and a fulfilling opportunity. As
a member of Student Senate, I will be open to new
ideas and aware of the responsibility ahead of me. I
will be prepared to fulfill the needs of Clarion students
and make this university a better place to live and
grow for students preparing themselves for the world
ahead of them.

do so if re-elected. Do the right thing and vote for

I feel that I can make an outstanding contribution to
the Student Senate. Because of serving as President of
the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, I believe
that I possess the leadership abilities that is needed to
become a valuable asset to the Student Senate. I would
like to be in a position of power to represent the stu-
dents' voice. I will do my very best to accomplish this
never ending task.
Michael Forney
My name is Michael Forney. I am a sophomore
finance major with an economics minor. I am also a
student athlete and member of Sigma Tau Gamma fra-
ternity. During my years at Clarion, I have seen the
deterioration and overcrowding of our facilities, which
I feel could be solved with the proposed new recreation
center. I also believe that more funds need to be allo-
cated to campus safety, to make Clarion a better place
for all.
SoniaGabor
I believe the university is here for the students.
Therefore, all decisions should be made in the best
interest of the students first and foremost. More atten-
tion should be payed to the voice of the students. We
should be able to make a difference.
Kelly R. Gould
As a fellow classmate, I feel 1 am a strong candidate
for Student Senate. Not only am I an active participant
in various on-campus activities, such as swimming,

My goal as a Senator would be to help recognize the

sure their opinions are heard. I feel there are many
issues students disagree with and through Student
Senate they can be resolved.
Carl Leonard
During my three years of education as a sludent ath-
lete at Clarion University, I have seen the many facets
of problems that face each individual student. These
dilemmas which we face are misappropriation of funds
from our tuition (i.e. Instructional Support Fee,) lack of
student involvement, and problems with the Rec
Center. If you elect me as your Student Senator, I will
try to solve the problems on our campus.
Chris Lombardo
1, Chris Lombardo, if elected will pledge total dedi-
cation to the students of Clarion University. The ratio-

all have questions, but few have answers. I want to be
one of the few to have the answers. If I do not know
the answers, I will work without hesitation to get them.
There is no issue to large to intimidate or to small to be
ignored.

Being involved in various activities on campus such

be a good representative of the student body of Clarion
University. If elected, I will dedicate myself fully to
concentrating on the students' needs and expectations.
Tyler Palisin
As a Student Senator, I want to voice the opinion of
the students. Sometimes, in a university setting, those
that go there do not have any sort of say in the govern-
ment of the university. I want to take die opinions of
Clarion's student body and make sure they are heard.

like to enhance the relations between Student Senate,
the student body and the Greek system.
Tammi B. Snyder
As a strong force in voicing student concerns, I feel I
would be an extremely influential person on the 1996-
97 Student Senate. I'm a fair and open-minded individ-
ual, easy to speak with and am extremely interested in
hearing all different opinions or suggestions on any
issue. The experience which I've received through my
involvement with many organizations has given me a
range of knowledge I feel qualifies me for this position.
Terky Stoops
I am committed to representing and serving the stu-
dents, faculty, and employees of Clarion University to
the best of my ability, and I am dedicated lo assuring
that all interests have fair and equal representation.
Thomas Swenson
Serving on the past Student Senate. I have learned a lot
about how the Student Senate is run. I also have found
what it lakes to gel things {\o\\c. and what is excepted of
a Student Senator. I have decided to run again lot I he
position of a Student Senator. I have taken an active role
in listening to the students concerns about the campus. I
will always keep the students in mind with all the deci-
sions that I would make.

Renee Skonier
I believe the best characteristic a Student Senator can
possess is exposure to a wide variety of opinions and
ideas. As a member of both numerous and diverse
campus organizations, I feel that I would not only be
able to accurately represent student opinion, but to use
that communication to work in the best interests of
Clarion's students. Thank you for your consideration.

Christine Tillotson
Being an involved student at Clarion has made me
realize that we, as students, can make a difference in
campus life. As a member of the Clarion Swimming
and Diving Team and the social committee chair of
Campbell Hall Council, I understand the desires of
many Clarion students. I feel my new ideas and outgo-
ing personality would enhance the future of the organi-
zation.
Ryan Winkleblech
I am running for Student Senate to have an active role
in improving the quality of student life at Clarion
University. I feel it is important for our student body to
be provided with the best services possible. As a stu-
dent-athlete I feel I am diversified and understand the
needs of the entire student body. I also believe I am able
to help make decisions that are best for the student body
of Clarion Univerity.
Rosemarie Wilson
It is important that the students of this university
have the opportunity to express their opinions in what
occurs on campus. I am willing to listen to those opin-
ions, and do what it takes to make those opinions
heard.
Dc you want to have a say in where your
money goes?
If so, come and voice your con-
cerns at a special open forum at

Service based organizations-It's more than just service
by Gara L. Smtih,
CSL Intern
At Clarion University, stu-
dents have the opportunity to
become involved with over 100
student organizations. Although
several of the organizations rang-
ing from athletic to social are
actively involved with serving
the University and community,
four organizations are currently
recognized by the University as
being community service-based.
These organizations are; Alpha
Phi Omega, Circle K
International, Habitat for
Humanity, and Into the Streets.
Founded in 1977, the Omega
Mu chapter of Alpha Phi Omega
(nationally co-ed service fraterni-
ty) was established for the pur-
pose of assembling college stu-
dents in the fellowship of the
principles of the Boy Scouts of
America as embodied in its Scout
Oath in Law, to develop leader-
ship, to promote friendship, and
to provide service to the college,
community, and students.
Comprising of nearly 30 stu-
dents, participants weekly volun-
teer at the Clarion Care Center on
Tuesdays, assist with child care
at the First Presbyterian Church
on Wednesdays, and participate
with social activities at
Allegheny Manor on Thursday
evenings.
Service activities of Alpha Phi
Omega members include Adopt-
A-Highway, car washes, assisting
with various university fairs, and
bloodmobiles. Recently, they
held a Bowl-A-Thon and raised
between $200-300 for the
Leukemia Society. On Saturday,
March 30, Alpha Phi Omega will
co-sponsor with Interhall Council
a Dance-A-Thon for the
Muscular Dystrophy Association
in Gemmell M-P from 7:00 a.m.
to 2:00 a.m.
Circle K International is a
community service organization
comprised of college students
performing service projects in the
community targeting young chil-
dren and the elderly. Sponsored
by the Kiwanis Club of Clarion
and Brookville, Circle K
International's vision is to meet
the personal needs of the individ-
ual collegian through the quali-
ties of leadership, the rewards of
service, and the unique spirit of
friendship.

dents and employees.
of Circle K dedicates themselves
to visiting residents of local nurs-
ing homes and assist with making
holiday cards and social activi-
ties.
The campus chapter of Habitat
for Humanity International, Inc.
is not organized for the private
gain of any person and works in
partnership with people in need
to improve the conditions in
which they are forced to live.
The purpose of this organization
is also to cooperate with charita-
ble organizations which are
working to develop a better habi-
tat from economically disadvan-
taged people.
"I first became involved with
Habitat for Humanity when I was
in high school. I decided to help
out and joined the group," adds
Resko.
Into the Streets is a program
designed to introduce more stu-
dents to , thoughtful community
service .,
The purpose of Into the Streets
is to involve students in meaning-
ful community service and pro-
vide information on all current
community service opportunities
available to students, to promote
ongoing positive relations with
community agencies and student
volunteers, and to educate stu-
dents on the current topic of
meaningful community service.

New Martin Lawrence film premieres in New York...and we were there!
by Jennifer Founds, Copy and
Design Editor and Stephanie
Flick, Advertising Design
As executive board members
of The Clarion Call , we were
invited to go to a premier view-
ing of A Thin Line Between Love
and Hate at Planet Hollywood in
New York City.
Martin Lawrence's new movie,
A Thin Line Between Love and
Hale, in which he stars and
directs, is a comedy-thriller com-
ing to theaters soon. Lawrence,
in his best comedy performance
yet, plays the part of Darnell
Wright, a young womanizing
businessman who is on a quest to
co-own the hot nightclub in
Malibu called Chocolate City.
Darnell's best friend Tee, played
by Bobby Brown, and the current
owner of Chocolate City. Smitty,
played by Roger E. Mosley, have
many interesting evenings at the
club. Their charm has worked
well with all females until they
meet the stunning Brandi Web
played by Lynn Whitfield. Ms.
Web initially had no time for both

Lawrence and Whitfield de-
fine the line between love
and hate.
Tee and Darnell's actions and
lines. The lack of interest
showed by Web to Darnell, along
with the chants ffi>rn Tee that he
could not have her were the fac-
tors that would drive him to do
anything to get her. Meanwhile,
Mia, played by Regina King, a
childhood friend and secret love
interest of Darnell has returned
from the Air Force giving Darnell
a woman to look at instead of the
girl that had left a couple years
before.
After tireless tries, Darnell
finally manages to work his way
into Brandi's heart. Brandi
becomes a possessive girlfriend
with a secret violent past, who
throws Darnell into a rich and
stylish lifestyle. Through all of
this, Darnell realizes his heart
and love lies with Mia. Gaining
Mia was not as hard as ridding
himself of Brandi. The comedy
turns into a thriller when Brandi
decides that if she cannot have
Darnell, then no one will, includ-
ing Mia.
Brandi goes to great lengths,
including threatening the lives of
Darnell's friends and family and
causing extreme damage to the
important people and things in
his life.
Darnell's mother is played by
the marvelous Delia Reese. She
adds much comic relief to the
movie as the veteran actress that
she is.
There is a cameo appearance
by Snoop Doggy Dogg in which
he and his posse are performing a
song. The soundtrack of A Fine
Line Between Love and Hale
features all-star R & B perform-
ers from Warner Brothers
Records.
A Thin Line Between Love and
Hate opens April 3. We both
truly enjoyed this film with all its
humor and violence and we
would DEFINITLY RECOM-
MEND IT for anyone who is up
for a good laugh with a touch of
fatal attraction.

LEAD STORY
•Former prostitute Jessi
Winchester, 53, announced in
February that she would soon file
papers declaring her candidacy
for Congress from Nevada's 2nd
District. (According to the Reno
Gazette-Journal, the highest-
ranking elected ex-prostitute was
Sausalito, Calif., mayor Sally
Stanford in 1972.) And Mistress
Madison, 32, a San Diego domi-
natrix who operates the Slave
Cave and runs a phone-sex ser-
vice, is running for Congress in
this month's primary under the
banner of Ross Perot's Reform
Party. Dominatrix and former
stripper Madame Lash, 50, has
campaigned vigorously around
Sydney in her quest for an
Australian Senate seat in this
month' s elections.
GREAT ART
•Tracey Emin, 32, opened a
museum in December in London,
England, featuring only artifacts
about her own life. She was fresh
from a show in Minneapolis in
which she exhibited a tent with
embroidered names called
"Everybody I've Ever Slept
With: 1963-1995."
•For the January opening of
Janine Antoni's current show at
the Matrix Gallery in Hartford,
Conn., the artist performed
"Loving Care" — soaking her
hair in a scrub bucket filled with
dye an'd "painting" the floor by
swishing her locks across it.
Among the other pieces at the
show is a sheet of paper onto
which Antoni had batted her eye-
lashes more than 1,000 times
after applying Cover Girl Thick
Lash. A New York Times review-
er wrote that Antoni "has earned
admiration for extracting multi-
ple interpretations from seeming-
ly simple actions."
•The Society of Smoking
Artists in San Francisco
announced in January a "Butts
for Jesse" campaign to encourage
artists with cigarette butts lying
around to send them weekly to
anti-arts, pro-tobacco U.S. Sen.
Jesse Helms, to let him know that
artists are his friends because
they consume higher-than-aver-
age levels of cigarettes.
•British artist Tony Kaye, 43,
brought his "Roger" show to San
Francisco's Museum of Modem
Art in November. "Roger" con-
sists of a live, homeless man sit-
ting in a transparent cube so
patrons can question him about
being homeless. Kaye plans to
sell "Roger" later as a work of art
— which Roger agreed to in writ-
ing before the exhibit opened.
Said Roger, "I know that Tony
wouldn't sell me unless he knew
I had a good home."
•England's bad-boy artists,
Gilbert and George, introduced a
show of 16 oversized glossy pho-
tos in September, featuring the
two of them in their traditional
business suits, ensconced in vari-
ous defecation motifs (rows of it,
-circles, sculptures) for the
"Naked Shit Pictures" exhibit at
the South London Art Gallery.
One friendly critic called the
work "deeply humanistic" and
almost biblical; another wrote, "I
find it difficult to drag myself
away from this chapel [and] feel
compelled to remain in the pres-
ence of a disturbingly weighty
vision of the world."
UNCLEAR ON THE CON-
CEPT
•A 12-year-old girl was arrest-
ed in Barring ton, 111., in October
and charged with scribbling on a
town gazebo. Her scribbling con-
sisted only of crossing out pro-
fane comments about her that
others had written on the gazebo.
•In December, a North Carolina
appeals court turned down
inmate Mark McCrimmon's
petition for money from the
state's fund to compensate vic-
tims of violent crimes. A lower
court had ruled him eligible,
despite the fact that his injury
occurred when he tried to steal a
$20 bill from a man in a store and
was in turn shot by the store
owner, paralyzing McCrimmon
from the waist down. (The lower
court had ruled that since the
shooting of McCrimmon for tak-
ing $20 was excessive, the shoot-
ing itself was a crime of which
McCrimmon was a "victim.")
•In December, officials at the
Wellington (New Zealand) City
Art Gallery denied entry to a 9-
day-old baby when his mother
sought to buy a ticket. Director
Paula Savage said the gallery's
policy of not permitting minors
during the exhibit of controver-
sial photographer Robert
Mapplethorpe's work would be
strictly enforced.
•Rudy Terrenal, 58, was con-
victed of the murder of his Mobil
Oil refinery supervisor David
Dawkins in Torrance, Calif., in
December and sentenced to 39
years to life. Terrenal claimed he
was innocent, that he had gone to
Dawkins to protest being fired,
taking a gun but only to commit
suicide if his protest failed.
Terrenal testified that he sudden-
ly remembered that he was
Catholic and thus had to set
aside his suicide plans, but he
remembers nothing after that.
•In December, a federal jury in
New York City awarded Dr.
Joyce Stratton, 51, $1 million in
her age-discrimination lawsuit
against the New York City
Department for the Aging. She
had worked at the agency, which
helps the elderly secure benefits
and legal rights, for 2 1 years and
lost her $51,000 salary plus pen-
sion benefits when she was fired
in favor of a younger person.
JUST CAN'T STOP
MYSELF
•Seattle physician Amanda
Adler's latest medical journal
piece, described in a December
article in the Seattle Post-
Intelligencer, was on a woman
who chews athletic tube socks
when nervous and thus wound up
with a ball of sock fibers in her
stomach blocking digestion and
causing pain. (Dr. Adler's first
journal piece was on her treat-
ment of an Eskimo boy in a
remote Alaskan village whose
tongue had frozen to an iron rail-
ing and whose father freed him
by urinating on the railing.)
•Kraft Food Co. announced in
December that Rob Watkins, 35,
of Odessa, Ontario, is the king of
Kraft (macaroni and cheese)
Dinners. Watkins claims to have
eaten 10,000 of them over his
lifetime, including many days in
which each of his three meals
was Kraft Dinner. "I don't con-
sider it an addiction," he said. "I
honestly don't get sick of it."
Joan Osb orne 's "Relish" really hits the spot!
by Tina Matthis
Lifestyles Writer
Dear reader, you are in luck
this week, for I am reviewing
Joan Osborne's debut album,
"Relish." Imagine, an artist
everybody's actually heard of
before! Well, enough of the
introduction and onto the review
itself, shall we?
"Relish" was nominated a few
times at the Grammys, even for
"Album of the Year." Joan, her-
self, was nominated for a few
awards, including "Best Female
Pop Artist." Yet, even though she
and her debut were nominated
for all of those Grammys, they
didn't win one. One may ask if
the Grammys are fair. I say they
are. This album, although it is
extremely moving, spiritual, and
uplifting, it does not meet up to
Grammy standards. It is good
enough to be nominated, there's
no doubt about that, but winning
them is another story.
Joan Osborne's voice is beauti-
ful, and she can belt out the notes
like the late Janis Joplin. Her
voice is bluesy at times, and at
others, it sounds like an angel
singing. The musicians she
hired to help her on this album
are extraordinary. The songs are
catchy and threaten to stick in
your head for the whole day.
They could actually drive you
crazy.
One song on the album that
does that the most is "One of
Us." If you didn't have this
song implanted in your brain at
the end of last year, you were
lucky. But the song remains to
be one of the best on the album.
Another great song that has the
potential to be the next over-
played tune from this album is
"St. Teresa." This song, like
"One of Us," is spiritual and
emotional, as is "Pensacola."
She even does a rendition of Bob
Dylan's "Man in the Long Black
Coat." And she does it well, too.
As I said before, this album
is wonderful and definitely
deserves to be a Grammy nomi-
nee. But when Joan Osborne is
nominated up against women like
Annie Lennox and the such, she
really doesn't stand much of a
chance. But, if you like blues
and good old fashioned rock 'n
roll with an "alternative" twist,
"Relish" hits the spot, even if you
don't like pickles that much., just
kidding, I couldn't help myself.

V-Chip the answer to our prayers by Dave Barry
The V-chip. A helpful tool for
concerned parents'? A threat to
the First Amendment? An excuse
for sentences without verbs?
These are some of the questions
raised by the recently passed
federal law that will require new
television sets to contain a little
computer thing called a V-chip
(the 'V stands for "some word
that begins with V")
I bet I know what your reaction
was when you heard about the V-
chip. You said: "If the govern-
ment is going to force TV manu-
facturers to do something, why
not force them to get rid of all
those confusing controls and go
back to having just two big, easy-
to-operate knobs, one for the vol-
ume and one for the channel, the
way it was on the icebox-sized
black-and-white RCA Victor TV
that my family had when I was a
boy growing up in the 1950s in
Armonk, N.Y., watching Ed
Sullivan present accordion-play-
ing bears?"
That was my reaction, too. But
the V-chip is not designed to
make your television easier to
operate. The V-chip is a sincere
effort by Congress to enable con-
cerned American — Americans
exactly like you, only less intelli-
gent — to imagine that Congress
has actually done something
about TV violence and smut.
Violence and smut are, of
course, everywhere on the air-
waves. You cannot turn on your
TV without seeing them,
although sometimes you have to
hunt around. But it's there, all
right, even during the daytime —
a constant, sleazy stream of near-
naked bodies, their taut flesh glis-
tening with sweat as they thrust
forward, then back, then forward,
again and again, until finally, in
an explosive climactic outpour-
ing, they reveal the cost of what-
ever miracle home exercise con-
traption they are selling at that
particular instant. Naturally, it
renders all the OTHER home-
exercise contraptions, including
whichever one they were selling
LAST week, totally obsolete.
And, of course, if we buy the new
one, we will — with almost no
effort! It's fun! — look EXACT-
LY like the perfect-bodied people
in the commercial. They say so
themselves!
PERECT-BODIED MAN:
Kandi, how long have you been
using the incredible Squee-zer-
Ciser with the revolutionary new
Iso-Flex Modular Torsion Units,
which look to the untrained eye
like rubber bands, but are actual-
ly scientific?
PERFECT-BODIED WOMAN:
About a week, Brad! Before
using the Squee-Zer-Ciser for
only three minutes per day, I was
so fat that the fire department
routinely rescued people from
burning buildings by having
them jump onto my butt! Now
I'm dating Antonio Banderas!
I'll tell you what: If Congress
really wants to help American
TV viewers, it should require that
every exercise-contraption com-
mercial end with this announce-
ment:
"WARNING: The Surgeon
General has determined that you
will use this contraption maybe
twice, after which it will disap-
pear forever under a stack of old
TV Guides. Also, no matter
WHAT you do, you're basically
stuck with your genetically deter-
mined body type, as is evidenced
by the Surgeon General's com-
mander-in-chief, who has jogged
300 million miles since taking
office and still has thighs like
Twinkle-filled pontoons."
Speaking of President Clinton:
He also supports the V-chip,
which as some of you may recall,
is the topic of this column. Here's
how it will work:
1) Every TV program will be
rated for both violence and smut,
even those Saturday morning
programs that consist entirely of
men in baseball caps catching
bass. So if they merely CATCH
the bass, that would get a low rat-
ing; but if they were to commit
an act of violence with the bass,
or for some perverted reason slip
the bass inside their wading
pants, that would get a higher rat-
ing. The ratings will be pub-
lished, thereby ensuring that
2) ... millions of young people
will try to tune into the programs
containing the most violence and
smut, however .
3) ,.. the V-chip inside the TV
will constantly monitor the
incoming signals, and the instant
it detects anything obscene, such
as a naked breast or Sen. Jesse
Helms, it will automatically
switch to a channel showing
wholesome educational program-
ming, such as a nature documen-
tary about eels, unless of course
4) ... it turns out that eels have
naked breasts, in which case the
V-chip will show commercials
for competing long-distance tele-
phone companies until the young
people are driven, screaming,
from the house.
Clearly, the V-chip is a good
idea — such a good idea, in fact,
that we in the newspaper industry
have voluntarily decided to adopt
it. That's right; There's a tiny V-
chip installed in the page you're
reading right now! So if I try to
write a smutty phrase such as
"XXXX," or "XXXX-XXXX,"
or "get a load of the XXXX on
that XXXX," the offensive parts
are automatically deleted. The
same goes for violence: Whole
entire stories on Bosnia will be
missing. That's how concerned
we are about this XXXX issue.
Quicksand: a great band with a unique style
by AaronDavis
Lifestyles Writer
This week, I chose
Quicksand's 1995 release,
"ManicCompression."
Quicksand is a heavy band with a
lot of pace changes within their
songs. "Manic Compression"
is their second release, and a
wonderful follow-up to their
debut, "Slip."
This CD begins with
"Backwi," a faster paced song
that evolves into a combination
of funk and punk toward the end.
This is a good song to open the

CD, as it displays their ability to
mix several styles and speeds
into one song. "Delusional" is a
slower, more grinding song that
talks about how they do not care
who a popular or famous person
knows, although this person
brags about who they know. The
next track, "Divorce" picks the
pace back up. This song discuss-
es the difficulty in dealing with
all of the things that are wrong
with the world.
"Simpleton" and "Skinny (It's

with "Simpleton" showing excel-
lent bass. Following "Skinny" is
"Thorn In My Side" which con-
tains several speed changes and
talks about an angry, two faced
person that they do not wish to
deal with anymore. "Land Mine
Spring" is once again a slower,
grinding song that is excellent,
but very difficult to describe.
"Blister" becomes much faster
and heavier, with more scream-

The next song, "Brown
Gargantuan" may be the best on
the CD. It is a slower paced song
with heavy bass. It describes
many kids that I know. The kid in
the song is lazy, always in trou-
ble, and expects the world to give
him everything. "East 3rd St"
Picks the pace back up, but
remains very heavy, as does
"Supergenlus." "It Would Be
Cooler If You Did" closes the CD
on a strange note, once again
emphasizing their ability to
change speed. It begins very
slow and quiet, then becomes
loud and heavy, and continues
this pattern throughout the song.
Quicksand became one of my
favorite bands when "Slip" was
released, and "Manic
Compression" has done nothing
to change my mind. As much as I
like "Slip," I think that "Manic
Compression" may be better. It
takes a talented band to avoid the
"sophomore jinx." Most bands
follow a solid debut with a weak
effort, but not Quicksand. It
would be hard to put them in any
category, since they are not punk
or heavy metal, they have their
own style.

Food For Thought: Ending March with a bang!
by Brian Hoover
Yeah! The month of March
has gone out with a bang. We've
had enough happening at our din-
ing facilities this month to make
your head spin. Do you like fast
cars? Do you like money? Would
you like free tuition? Well good!
Anyway back to the topic at
hand. The second half of March
was jam packed full of dining
fun. The first of which was the
March Madness Basketball Shoot
Off. Woo Wooo! There were tons
of prizes given away to the best
shooters. Thirty-five dollars was
awarded to first place, twenty-
five went to second, a NCAA
basketball was given for third
place, and fifteen Daka dollars
went to the fourth place winner.
All other participants received a
coupon worth a free, one topping,
16 inch pizza at the Riemer
Snack Bar. Here are a list of win-
ners: After 5 rounds of play, first
place went to Steve Paige who
had a wopping 461 points, Wes
McWilliarns came in second with
323 points, Mike Popp snagged
third place with 218 points, and
fourth place went to Marvelous
Marvin Wells who had a score of
217.(Thwap!!)
Also last Thursday we had an
early Easter celebration at
Jeff Levkulich/Clarion Call
Brian Hoover responds to
your requests.
Chandler Dining Hall. There
were many who hopped on out to
see our special buffet. Of course
they didn't have to get here quick
like a bunny because the food
was hare all night, 4-7 p.m.
Folks would come on in, see
what they wanted and grabbit.
Everyone ate as much as they
wanted because as fast as the
food went we rapidly reproduced
more in the kitchen. (Cha
Ching!!)
Friday the 19th we had an Irish
celebration at Chandler Dining
Hall. There was a potato bar
with all the fixins. There were
free All Sports given away, and
there was a prize raffle. Speaking
of the raffle, I just happen to
have a list of the winners. The
NCAA basketball went to
Michael Pfist. Jodi Burns won
the USA Today T-shirt. Two free
pizzas from Riemer Snack Bar
were given to Jason Burtman and
David Orbin. And a 2 liter of
Pepsi from the 2 Go D Po was
given to Cory Neely and Megan
Harrison, (booya!!)
Many joined us for a great
evening of fun and entertainment
last night at our Picture-Perfect
Party in Riemer Snack Bar. They
enjoyed tasty food and drinks
while we look crazy, candid shots
of them and their friends with our
instant camera. Afterwards, we
posted our favorite shots on the
mug shot board. There were even
photos given away. (Badda
Bing!!)
Hoov's Rhyme of the Week:
When your lookin for great eat in
at a super duper price.
March your bad self to Chandler
or Riemer, that's my sound
advice.

Lambda chapter of Phi Sigma Pi to be reinstated
\ I . , ,ii i v it it I , -i 1 1 1 1,* t \ ~ ^^^ .__„.— MfaJ — ,_ — — ,.~~— — — — ^ m^—. ^-^
by Charlotte Kunzlcr
Greek Writer
Willi ihe help on Betsy
Robinson, the Director of
Expansion tor Phi Sigma Pi, the
fraternity will once again be rein-
stated on Clarion University's
campus. According to Christine
Blanck, Director of Education,
Phi Sigma Pi is a professional
honor fraternity, thai will provide
great opportunities for sopho-
mores and upperclassmen. The
fraternity has two requirements
of all new members. They must
have 24 credit hours or higher.
and an overall average QPA or
GPA of 3.0.
The fraternity aims to help its
members achieve high academic
standards, be of service to its sur-
rounding community and partici-
pate in social events that create
strong bonds of fellowship.
Phi Sigma Pi promotes these
three aspects equally as one-third
social, one-third service and one-
third academic. The fraternity
held an organizational meeting
March IS. at which ihe executive
hoard officers were elected, and
the Iralerniiys' by-laws were rati-
fied .
In addition, everyone in atten-
dance helped decide on candi-
dates for the chapters new advi-
sor, by submitting the final
paperwork to the student activi-
ties office and die fraternity will
be be reinstated.
Historically, Clarion's chapter
of Phi Sigma Pi. Ihe lambda
chapter, will recieve the same
greek name of Lambda as it ori-
gionally had in 1930. The frater-
nity was active at Clarion from
1930 to 1965, and was "all male
until it nationally became co-ed
in 1977," according to Blanck.
Aside from being the biggest
change in the fraternity, it may
have attributed to its dying on
Clarion's campus. This is simply
because without women, it didn't
have as many prospective mem-
bers that would be recruited.
Phi Sigma Pi was founded at
Central Missouri State
University, Warrensburg
Future members of Phi Sigma Pi
Keith Soforic/
Ulanon ual
Missouri on February 14, 1916.
The fraternity has 63 active
chapters now and possibly 65 by
the end of this semester.
The fraternity is at national sta-
tus currently and hoping to
expand to international status in
the future. They do not have sim-
ilar qualities to mat of the tradi-
tional Greek system, however, it
is guided by the Professional
Fraternal Association. The chap-
ters make an annual trip every
summer to the fraternity's
Business conference and attend
the Phi Sigma Pi Convention
every November.
The business conference pro-
vides members with a learning
experience about leadership and
professional skills, many of
which can "not be learned in the
classroom or by the book", said
Christine Blanck.
Overall, Phi Sigma Pi is look-
ing for members that will be
active and enthusiastic, and not
just looking for something that
looks good on a resume.

Stout finishes 7th to become a three-time Ail-American
Thomas Captures National Championship
By Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor and
Ben Keen
Assistant Sports Editor
"What a great feeling," stated
an elated Sheldon Thomas after
winning his first NCAA Division
I national championship.
Thomas stood atop the NCAA
award stand a proud Golden
Eagle last Saturday night, smil-
ing broadly, as he received his
national championship award to
the music of the Golden Eagle
tight song and in front of a stand-
ing crowd of 13,989 at the Target
Center in Minneapolis,
Minnesota.
Thomas earlier defeated Iowa
State's Jason Nurre 6-4 in the
finals. Nurre defeated Thomas
earlier in the season at the Las
Vegas open duals.
"The loss to Nurre was in the
back of my head, but that was a
long time ago. My whole objec-
tive was to peak at nationals. I
felt great I knew I wasn't going
to lose," stated Thomas.
Thomas, a junior, became the
sixth Golden Eagle to win an
NCAA Division I title, while it
was the 8th championship perfor-
mance by a Clarion wrestler.
Wade Schalles (1972,73), Garry
Barton (1972), Don Rohn (1973),
Bill Simpson (1973), and Kurt
Angle (1990,92) were the previ-
ous champions.
Thomas was 5-0 at nationals
and pushed his season record to
324. Seeded #4, he opened with
a 9-0 major decision over Jason
Wartinger (Buffalo), then posted
a 10-0 major decision over
Orlando DeCastroverde (Cal-
Fullerton) and an 11-1 major
decision over Jason Betz (Penn
State) to set up his semi-final
bout against #1 seed Mike Mena
of Iowa.
"I felt really good the first cou-
ple of matches. I kept my focus,
and going into the Mena match I
was on a roll," Thomas furthered.
Thomas was defeated twice ear-
lier in the year by Mena. Mena
defeated Thomas 3-2 at the
national duals, and pinned him at
the All-Star tournament.
"I knew I could beat Mena. We
wrestled a couple tough matches
earlier this year, and I felt that if I
wrestled a sound match, I would
win," said Thomas.
Sheldon Thomas, left, and Bryan Stout, right, earned Ail-
American honors for the Golden Eagles.
Thomas clicked on all cylinders
against Mena, defeating him 6-4.
After defeating Mena, Thomas
said,"My confidence went even
higher after defeating Mena."
Now it was make or break time
for the junior from Delaware, on
to the finals against Nurre.
Thomas got the first takedown
against Nurre and rode him for
over 1 -minute, before Nurre
escaped.
A Nurre takedown made it 3-2
Nurre at the end of the first peri-
od. Nurre chose down to start the
second, but Thomas rode Nurre
the entire period to post 2:15 on
the riding time clock.
Escaping to start the third peri-
od(3-3), Thomas took Nurre
down again with :53 seconds left
in the match (5-3).
Nurre escaped with :32 seconds
left (5-4), and Thomas's riding
point made the final 6-4.
Thomas also won the Wilkes
Open, PSAC and EWL titles this
season.
He moved his career record to
89-16 and became a two-time
All-American. He placed 5th at
nationals last year at 118
pounds(4-2 at nationals), while
posting an overall record of 31-5.
In 1994, Thomas was 26-7
overall and missed being an All-
American by one win (2-2). A
1994 PSAC and EWL champion.
Thomas now has a national
record of 11-4.
Thomas won the finals two
days after his 23rd birthday.
''My mom gave me a birthday
card, but I didn't open it until
after the finals. When I opened it
, it read I know your going to
have a great national tourna-
ment," Thomas commented.
I guess mom does know best
because she couldn't have pre-
dicted the result any better.
"My family was very support-
ive of me, and that helped me out
a lot," he added.
Thomas credited his success to
a number of factors. "The coach-
ing staff has been great, especial-
ly coach Rob Eiter. He's really
helped me prepare to be a nation-
al champion. He's the best work-
out partner in die country. I've
also gotten a lot bigger and
stronger this year. I worked out
just as hard in 1995, but prepara-
tion and strength have been the
key factors."
Thomas furthered his compli-
ments of Eiter by explaining that
it was Eiter who hepled show
him some of what he did wrong
in the previous bouts against
Mena.
In closing remarks Thomas
offered the following,"If you
have a goal set that high(A
national championship) and you
accomplish it, it's amazing. It's
really incredible."
Also having a fine national
tournament was junior Bryan
Stout. Stout placed 7th at 190-
pounds and became a three-time
NCAA Div. I All-American at
190. Seeded #2 Bryan opened
with 8-2 win over Scott Stay
(North Carolina) and a 9-0 major
decision over Aaron Stark
(Wisconsin). In the quarterfinals
Stout lost 8-7 on a last second
reversal by Iowa's #7 seed Lee

Fullhart. Stout quickly recovered
in a 9-0 major decision over Seth
Myerson (Appalachian State) in
the wrestle backs. He then lost to
#6 seed Brian Picklo (Michigan
State) 2-1 in sudden death over-
time. Stout then defeated Tony
Weiland (Northern Iowa) 5-0 to
finish in seventh place. Stout
was 4-2 at nationals, raised his
season record to 26-3 and was the
1996 EWL and PSAC Champion.
Bryan was 29-6 last year and
placed 4th at nationals, while
posting a 26-9 slate in 1994 and
placing 8th at nationals. Bryan
has a career record of 81-18.
Others competing at nationals
for Clarion included Chris
Marshall (Fr. Aspers, PA) at 126,
Ken Porter (Sr. Nornell, NY) at
158, Paul Antonio (Sr. New
Castle, DE) at 167, Roderick
Franklin (Jr. Lorain, OH) at 177
and Darren Jarina (Fr. Garfield
Heights, OH) at heavyweight.
Antonio, a senior at 167 was 2-
2 in his second trip to nationals.
Seeded #9, Paul opened the tour-
ney with a 16-5 major decision
over Nate Miklusak (E.
Michigan) and a 2-1 decision
over #8 seed Barry Weldon (Iowa
State), then lost to #1 seed
Markus Mollica (Arizona State)
11-4. In the All- America round
Paul lost to Indiana's Mike
Powell 5-4, meaning he missed
being an All-American by one
point. Paul finished the season
with a 24-7 record and won
PSAC and EWL individual titles.
Also an NCAA qualifier in 1995
when he was 21-13, Paul was 11-
18 in 1993 and 6-10 in 1992.
Antonio finished his career with
a record of 62-48.
"We had an outstanding nation-
al tournament," stated Clarion
head coach Jack Davis. "A
national champion, two All-
American and 19 matches won at
nationals proves we did a great
job in Minneapolis. We're going
to miss Ken Porter and Paul
Antonio who graduate this year.
We haven't been able to stay
healthy the last couple of sea-
sons, but we've really accom-
plished a lot in spite of those
injuries. If we can stay healthy in
1996-97, we really hope to have
an outstanding team returning."
Clarion was 19-12 at nationals
in matches wrestled. Thirty one is
the most matches ever wrestled
by Clarion wrestlers at nationals,
and 19 was the most matches
ever won at nationals by Clarion.
It was the third straight top 15
finish for the Golden Eagles and
the Golden Eagle wrestlers have
now placed in the top twenty 15
times.
Clarion University will honor
Sheldon Thomas and Bryan Stout
and the rest of the wrestling team
at a special "Timeout Luncheon"
next week. The luncheon will be
held at the Clarion Holiday Inn
on Wednesday, April 3rd at noon.
The public is welcome.
Athletic Director Bob Carlson
said, "We're really looking for-
ward to honoring Sheldon, Bryan
and the entire wrestling team
They did a great job at the
national tournament and repre-
sented themselves and the uni-
versity in great fashion."

The Penalty Box, and the Final Four
By Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
Welcome back to the Penalty
Box, where Dennis Rodman
hung out while serving his game
suspension.
THK FINAL FOUR Well,
alter almost picking every final
four team, I still feel good about
myself. I also feel good about
this final four. What a contrast of
matchups you have in the two
games. First you have the mega
malhcup between Umass and
Kentucky. If Umass can hang
around long enough with
Kentucky's fast forward style,
they could pull off the win.
Umass has been strong in the last
four minutes of the game all sea-
son long, virtually winning all
their games that way. but I don't
think it will come down to the
last four minutes in this game.
Look for Kentucky to pull away
early in the second half.
The "Teams that got no respect"
game between Syracuse and
Mississippi State should be a
great battle because these teams
mirror each other. With the
respective inside threats of
Syracuse's Wallace and State's
Dampier, this game may be
decided with the outside threats
each team has. I think the team
Pitt's all-new summer program offers you
more of what you want and need...

that hits the three point shot bet-
ter moves on to the championship
game. I flipped a coin and it
comes to Syracuse so I'll go with
them.
Some last thoughts on the tourna-
ment:
-1 wish Umass-Kentucky was the
championship game instead of
the semi-final.
-Did any team take more awful
shots than Cincinnati did on
Sunday?
-How come they didn't use
Jimmy Hoffa as the Final Four
logo instead of the Statue of
Liberty? Isn't he buried some-
where around the Meadowlands?
WARM TRADE WINDS The
Penguins, as requested last week,
did go out and made three great
trades. The acquisitions were
well balanced with the Pens get-
ting a solid offense threat, a goon,
and a well seasoned veteran
defenseman. Stojanov has
already got his first goal and first
knockout as a Penguin in the
goon role. Miller helped white-
wash the Rangers earlier this
week, and Daigneaull provides
leadership that will help once the
playoffs are here. Couple all that
with a possible home ice advan-
tage during the post season, and
the once dimming Cup run this
year shines a lot brighter.
DUMB AND DUMBER The
situations of Bam Morris and
Michael Irvin make me ill. These
guys are millionaires, and yet
they put themselves in seedy
motel rooms and drug posses-
sions situations. Why would
Irvin even be near a motel room
with the prestige and glamour he
projects from his stardom? Irvin
could probably buy the motel
with his football salary. I can't
really comment on Morris' situa-
tion because he claims he is inno-
cent and doesn't know how the
marijuana got in his car, but why
put yourself in that position.

Golden Eagles track teams ready to roll
By Tim Rafalski
Sports Writer
The Clarion University track
and field teams open their season
with the Clarion Early Bird Open
on Saturday, with competition
from California (PA), Thiel, and
Alfred. Juniata College and
Wheeling Jesuit will also have
competitors in the
deeathalon/heptathalon.
Added depth in the line-up will
be a key factor in the Golden
Eagles' success this season. "I
feel really good about our team
this year," said head coach Pat
Mooney. "Our athletes have
improved from last year and we
are now stronger on the second
line. We can run four strong peo-
ple on our relay teams, and we
won't have to worry about hurt-
ing ourselves in other events."
After a disappointing showing
at last year's PSAC
Championships, in which they
didn't score a point, the women
have worked hard over the winter
and have competed well during
indoor meets.
Returning distance runners are
junior co-captain Karen
Reinking, Lisa Benlock, senior
Lynn Baluh, and sophomore
Cherie Zurko. They will be
joined by a strong group of fresh-
men with Debbie Brostmeyer,
Danielle Graver, and cross coun-
try team members Brigette
Laflin, Christine Stamm, and
Roxanne Wilson.
"Our distance runners looked
strong during the indoor season,"
stated Mooney.
"Debbie(Brostmeyer) qualified
for PSAC's in the 800m at
Bucknell back in February, and I
mink she can improve that time
when we get outside."
The Golden Eagles will have
eight women running the sprints
this season. They will be led by
sophomores Leslie Latoche and
Rochelle Ross, both of whom ran
a best 13.2 100m in '95. Latoche
will also run the hurdles.
Other sprinters and hurdlers
will include junior Kristy Mares,
and freshmen Tracy Campbell,
Becky Heffner, Danielle Kifer,
Sarah Lutz, and Jackie Wolbert.
"The depth we have in the sprints
will improve our finishes in the
relays so much," said Mooney.
Leslie(Latoche) did well at
PSAC's last season and our
freshmen, like Sarah Lutz, will
have a tremendous effect to our
team finishes."
Clarion will have seven ladies

competing in the field events, led
by junior co-captain Joy Brown.
She broke Clarion's discus record
last year with a toss of 108' 10.5.
Brown will be joined in the
throwing events by junior Missy
Brooks, and freshmen Lori
Dando, Janna DeAntonio, and
Missy Kelly.
Competing in the jumping
events for Clarion will be sopho-
more Sara Miller and freshman
Kim Pellegrino. Junior Jennifer
Zdarko and sophomore Nikki
Radaker will be competing in the
heptathlon. Radaker placed sev-
enth at last year's championships.
We now turn our attention to
the men's side of the track and
field team where they will be led
by a strong sprinting squad.
Junior co-captain Thorn Swenson
is returning from a fifth-place
finish in the 220m at last years
PSAC's.
Junior Rich Kindel, sophomore
Jim Eget, and freshman Mark
Neiberg round out the sprinters.
Running hurdles will be fresh-
man Brian Burke.
The men's distance runners will
also have added depth thanks to
the cross-country team. Distance
runners include juniors Scott
Reffener, Mike Cox, and Carl
Leonard, sophomores Brad
Alderton, Craig Carlson, Eric
Lowery, Jeff Yurcak, and fresh-
men Jason Brady and Jason
Burtman.
The Golden Eagles field team
will be led by sophomore
jumpers Brian Fields and Mark
McConnell. Fields finished fifth
in the long jump at last year's
PSAC's and McConnell has
already jumped 6' 7 in the high
jump to qualify for this year's
championships. Also will be
Kindel and freshman Doug
Himes.
Throwing for Clarion will be
junior co-captain Scott Horvath,
Dave Orbin, sophomore Jake
Williams, and freshmen Gabe
Lesher, Mark Noel, and Andrew
Smith. Said Horvath."We have a
stronger, more experienced
throwing team. I could see us
taking half of the throwers to
Kutztown(Site of the PSAC
Championships), and watch for
Fields and McConnell jumping.
McConnell could go to nationals
this year."
Freshmen Eric Moss and Steve
Woolery will be pole vaulting for
the Golden Eagles.
"We're still a year away from
being a more competitive team,
but we are slowly earning some
respect," stated Mooney. "We're
competing against Division I
opponents with two meets at
Penn State, and one at Pitt.

With a week off there is a lot to talk
about in intramurals, so let's get right
into it. We'll start with the bowling
season. The champion off the regular
season was No Contest, comprised of
Nate Kopsack, Mark Kopsack,
Brandi Litz, Eric Kemp and Jen
Nicholes. The post-season tourna-
ment was won by Blue. Ron Berry,
Bob Clowser. Alicia Reed, Ivy Lane,
and Chris Berry made up this win
ning group.
Taking home the winning hands in
the Euchre tournament was Shawn
Kaciubij and Lisa Lapcevic, while
the wrestling tournament finished
with Jason Clark, Dan Morgan, Moss
Grays and Shawn Arm burst winning
their respective classes.
In 3-on-3 basketball, Team Bellis
won it all. Chris Bellis, Scott
Walters, Shawn Haddox, Don
Schmidt and Tyler Palisin will reign
as the 1996 3-on-3 basketball
champs. Speaking of 3-on-3, the vol-
leyball tournament got under way
Tuesday night, and there will be
more about that in the weeks to
come. In wallyball action, ROC took
home the title. ROC was comprised
of Mark McConnell, Donnie Breon,
Greg Bartalow, Jeff Standfest, Ken
Hendrickson and Courtney
Bosworth.
The Tube Water Polo league has
started. In the early matches, The
Shockers and The SCUBA Tubers
have brought home wet wins.
That's about if for the recent action.
Starting at 4:00 pm today, the 5K
road race will take place, if interest-
ed, come on over and check it out.

The Clarion Call
Concerns result from sexual assault incidents
Recent rape awareness forum held in Harvey Hall
by Matt Geesey
News Editor
Due to overwhelming concerns
about increasing incidents of
sexual assault, a forum was held
recently at the Women Studies'
Center in Harvey Hall.
The forum addressed the topic
of "Why Women Don't Report
Rapes." The forum was attended
by several university employees
which included Ron Wilshire,
University Relations, Dr. Ronald
Martinazzi, director of Public
Safety, and Dr. Maryann Fricko,
Counseling Services.
There were also two
representatives from Rape Crisis
and the vice-president of
Students Together Against Rape
(STAR) present at the meeting.
Members of the local media
were invited and representatives
from the Clarion News . The
Derrick, the Brookville News .
The Clarion Call, and C-93 were
there to cover the forum and to
express their views.
Serving as moderator for the
forum was Debra Burghardt
from the Clarion Sexual Assault
Network.
Many different opinions were
offered as to why most women
don't report rapes after they
happen. Emphasis was placed on
the method by which newspapers
and other forms of media report
sexual assault incidents to the
public.
Sometimes victims don't feel
safe in reporting the incident
because they are afraid their
name will be revealed. Rodney
Sherman, a reporter from the
Clarion News , said the policy of
his newspaper is to withhold the
victim's name from print, even
when the incident would go
through court. The name of the
perpetrator isn't reported until
the perpetrator is formerly
arrested by the police.
The Pennsylvania Coalition
Against Rape has released its
own guidelines for the reporting
of sexual violence. These
guidelines were presented at the
forum. Some major points of the
guidelines include: the victim's
name shouldn't be reported
unless the victim is murdered or
gives consent to be identified;

^ff^K'* ■ : wn9
LBb
Jeff Levkulich/Clanon Call
Mark Watts, Debra Burghardt and Pete Talento join hands to celebrate men and women working
together to prevent violence against women. See related article on pg. 16
information that would help
identify the victim also shouldn't
be reported; and newspapers
should avoid reporting the name
of the accused or other
information about the accused
prior to an arrest being made.
The coalition also recommends
covering every incident reported
of sexual violence whenever
possible and all sexual assault
stories should be followed with a
story on the disposition of the
case.
These guidelines were

Earth D ay Celebration planned by WCCB
by Christy Sanzari
News Writer
To commemorate the national
festivities, WCCB-AM radio
station will be sponsoring its 6th
annual Earth Day Celebration
this coming Sunday, April 21st.
The first national Earth Day
was held in 1970. Initially it was
a consciousness-raising
mechanism. Since, at the time,
pollution was a foreign concept,
many Americans assumed there
was little they could do to
change these conditions.
Since then, Earth Day has
become a huge grassroots
environmental movement.
Today, conservation and
recycling are a part of current
laws, corporate strategies, and
even elementary school
curricula.
The Environmental Protection
Agency has released statistics, in
conjunction with last year's
Earth Day Celebration, showing
U.S. Manufacturers have cut
their toxic emissions by 43
percent in the last seven years.
This is a trend that is likely to
continue. However, according to
the EPA, several areas still need
improvements.
•40 percent of rivers, lakes and
streams are still not suitable for
fishing or swimming.
•2 in 5 Americans still breathe
unhealthy air.
•1 in 4 Americans lives within
four miles of a toxic dump site.
•Asthma, breast cancer and
other illnesses that may be
environment-related are on the
rise.
WCCB is sponsoring this
celebration to inform the public
about conservation and
recycling. Sunday's Earth Day
festivities will kick off at noon
outside of Gemmell. Several
bands will be performing
concerts. Each band paid a $20
entry fee, of which $10 will be
donated to an environmental
cause.
In addition to the live music,
there will be a variety of games
and prizes. Several local
businesses, including Tatoo U,
Images of the West, and Comics
101 have donated products and
gift certificates.
Several speakers will also be
contributing to the conservation
celebration, including a speaker
on Environmental Ethics.
The people at WCCB are
excited about the celebration. "I
believe it is very important for
people to do their part in the
environment and this is a good
way to raise their awareness,"
says Charity Carney.
The festivities will continue
until 6 p.m. and will be held
inside the Gemmell
Multipurpose Room in the case
of inclement weather.
Rob Burris, special projects
director at WCCB, encourages
all students to come out and
enjoy the celebration. "Come on
out and watch it, it will be a lot
of fun," says Burris.

OPINION
Editorial
Jennifer
Founds
I have a problem that I'm sure any-
one would agree with who has a class
in the gym. First of all, what is the
purpose of a gymnasium? I always
thought it was a building that housed
various athletic equipment and space
for indoor sports.
According to Webster's Ninth New
Collegiate Dictionary, the definition
of gymnasium has two meanings, the
second of which includes the word
classroom. I would think this means
the purpose of classrooms in a gym
are for health classes, meetings or
teams to sit and evaluate videotapes
of games or matches.
On the Clarion University campus,
various buildings are currently under
halted renovation, and the recently
passed vote to build another building
(the recreation center) will add to the
already slow process of reopening
Founders Hall.
Don't get me wrong, I have no
biased opinion, because my name
and the building have something in
common. I just remember the good
old days of having classes in a real
building specifically used for acade-
mics.
I find it difficult to have to sit in a
classroom when there are people
trotting past the door every other
minute while their walkman is blar-
ing Hootie, and every once in a
while, a group of guys pass by,
laughing and dribbling a ball. This
situation is constantly occurring, and
can truly disrupt the levels of con-
centration for anyone who has class-
es in the gym.
For those who haven't been at
Clarion long, you probably don't
realize that the old stone, church-
looking building you pass on the
way to Wendy's or a party on
Saturday night was actually an acad-
emic building at one time.
Founders Hall was one of the first
buildings at Clarion University, actu-
ally I think it was the second or third
built when it was the Clarion State
Normal School, before it was Clarion
State College then CUP then CU. (I
got this information from people who
were pretty sure they knew what they
were talking about.)
During my freshman year Founders
housed various classes such as histo-
ry, anthropology, and sociology.
On nice days, students would loiter
outside on the front steps and bench-
es to catch a quick smoke before
class, and to catch up on the latest
gossip from the previous weekend's
parties.
When the weather was what is nor-
mal for Clarion, (rainy, snowy, cold-
you know) people would stay inside
and use the lobby steps to enjoy each
others company. If you've never
seen the inside of the building, the
steps I just mentioned led to a beau-
tiful stained glass window at the
middle landing, and the classrooms

After the four long months of
studying, group meetings, projects,
and papers, college students cannot
wait to go home for Christmas vaca-

break means visiting family, working
to make some extra cash for the
upcoming semester, and testing
channel changing abilities from the
couch.
However, some students use their
winter vacation to help those' lesS for-

1996 Christmas vacation, to visit the
Dominican Republic.

a group of about twenty-five men

Each person has to have Typhoid
and Tetanus injections before leaving
the United States to guard against
contracting either of these diseases.
They were also instructed not to
drink the water, or eat anything
washed in the water, from the
Dominican Republic. Bottled water
and soda were brought for them to
drink.
On December 25, Pete boarded a
plane headed for the Dominican
Republic. Six hours later he landed
in the capital, Santo Domingo. From
the airport, they were picked up by a
school bus that would take them to
their first destination, Romona. "The
bus that picked us up was a barely-
running piece of crap," said Pete.
The bus reeked of rotten eggs; the
windows were broken and would not
go up or down, half the exhaust sys-
tem was missing, and each passenger
had to be careful of where they
stepped because of holes in the floor.
"Automobiles driven in the
Dominican Republic would not pass
inspection in the United States, so
they are shipped there and sold," said
Pete, there are no street signs or
lights to guide you while driving.
Dips are dug where you are supposed
to stop. Although it is low in cost, it
is not very safe. "We saw two cars
crash into one another in Santo
Domingo: the people got out of their
cars and left. They did not get police,
or move their cars. On the last day of
our trip, we noticed that the same two
cars were still where they had been
left, except one had been picked up.
and moved off the road more." said
Pete.
When they arrived in Romona. the
first thing Pete saw was a woman and
her children in filthy, lorn and tat-
tered clothing stop by a pile of old
rags. They took off their clothes,
threw them on top of the pile and
walked away. "I thought she was
going to wash them," said Pete. The
people wear their clothes until they
cannot be worn any longer and then
discard them. They do not fry to
wash or salvage clothing. "They do
not have any education; they need to
learn to read and write, but also to be
healthy and sanitary," said Pete.
"Every house had bars on the win-
dows and doors to keep thieves out.
The people are so poor they will take
anything, from anyone, in order to
survive," said Pete. He knew, then,
how desperate the lives of these peo-
ple were.
The first four or five days were
spent in the Haitian part of Romona,
where the group was going to finish
pouring the concrete roof of a health
clinic that would also serve as a floor
to the second story. The people have
no place to go to get any health care,
and cannot afford to go to the
Dominican Republic hospitals. The
health clinic project was started in
the mid-eighties and will take anoth-
er fifteen years to complete. When
finished, the clinic will be four sto-
ries high.
"When the first group started build-
ing the clinic, they installed copper
water pipes, that presumably were
stolen and sold for their value. It only
hampered progress on the clinic and
its benefit to the people of the
Dominican Republic," said Pete. By
stealing the copper pipes, the peo-
ple's poverty level and despair is
reflected; their ignorance of the clin-
ic, and the improvement upon their
lives it will bring about, is also
revealed.
The group members had the choice
of staying in either a hotel or in the
parsonage. Pete's father, Tom Uber,
and three others decided to stay with
Pete at the parsonage. The parsonage
had sleeping quarters and an eating
area that accommodated about fifty
people. "Some women from the
church volunteered to cook and wash
clothes, so we did not have to worry
about anything but completing the
building," said Pete.
Each day the group worked from 8
a.m. until 4 p.m. with the tempera-
tures skyrocketing into the nineties.
After completing the clinic roof, the
group traveled to their next destina-
tion, a batea located in the central
part of the Dominican Republic. The
batea is a small village built near the
sugar cane fields, which takes up
most of the north and central part of
the country. The Haitian's hired to
work there are refugees and are
hired, for an extremely small wage,
to cut cane all day for a large compa-
ny that owns the fields. The company
builds a company store and tiny
houses of wood with metal roofs.
The people in the batea raise pigs.
chickens, and anything else that is
needed to survive. For most of the
people there, it is the only civiliza-
tion they have seen or will ever see.
The large, usually American, com-
pany that owns and builds these
bateas. keeps the money flowing in a
continuous cycle. In order to survive,
the Haitian's must buy supplies for
themselves and their families. They
are always in debt because they put
the money they make working back
into the company. The people have
no chance to make enough money to
ever get out of, or change, their des-
perate situation.

READER RESPONSES
Debate continues concerning prices of Chandler and Reimer
Dear Editor,
For many students on the
campus of Clarion University, it
is all too common to hear
complaints about the food
services, menu choices, meal
plans and flex.
Several of the debates raised
have been with just cause and
some merely have no basis.
However, I feel that the meal
plans being presented to students
for the 96-97 term are not in
their best interests or at the best
value to them.
It is a well known fact that in
order to run a successful
business, you must make a
profit. My question to the Daka
Restaurant Corporation is "at
what cost are their profits to our
students?"
The previous larger meal plan
systems were based on twenty
and fifteen meals a week. The
new plans propose only 19 and
14 meals/week. Where did that
one meal go? Are Chandler and
Reimer Snack Bar no longer
serving one of their meals a
week?
The issue of increasing the
amount of flex dollars on the
meal plans also confuses me.
Most of the students I have
talked with about this situation,
feel that it is difficult for them to
use seventy-five dollars right
now.
Why not leave the students the
option to add money on their
account while keeping the
original $75?
Another of my main arguments
deals with the prices of these
plans. I am not a math major,
but some of these figures do not
add up. Why are we, generally,
paying more for less? Why is
twenty five dollars more flex
costing $79?
Why is the difference between
the 19/meals 100 flex and the
14/meals 100 flex only $27?
That is a difference of seventy-
five meals, which means that
each one of those meals is only
costing Daka $36.
If that is the case, why are the
plans so high initially? It is my
observation, that according to
these prices, it is more
economical for students to pay in
cash when they go over their
allotted dinner amounts in
Reimer Snack Bar.
I know I have raised many
questions on these new changes
as far as dollar amounts and re-
structuring, but I really do not
feel they are unreasonably asked.
Many students realize that
Daka needs to increase prices to
off-set food prices and wage
increases, but we feel that we
should be given some
explanations as to why the
changes have occurred.
Is it not the student's money
that is keeping Daka in business?
Sincerely,
Derra L. Gregorich

I can't believe the students at

What were you thinking? I was
not aware college was about
recreation. I realize there is a
problem with the use of the gym
because of various reasons and
that students do need a place for
recreation, but are we not here to
learn? To receive degrees and
become employable?
We have a library that is in
desperate need of material to
bring it up to "standard," we are
working with equipment that
National organizations are way to go

money to go to a recreation
center. NOW THAT WILL

Some of you don't care about
the additional fees because
mommy and daddy are paying
for your education, but there are
a lot of us out here who are
paying for our own education.

in college, you will understand
the value of the almighty dollar.

Dear Editor,
I am writing concerning the
article entitle, "Whatever
happened to AX, TKE, IT, and
TKE?" I am a Clarion alumni
from 1988 who recently visited
Clarion University to speak as a
fraternity educational consultant.
As I read the article, I was struck
by the disrespect for the ideals
and philosophy of the National
Headquarters. I would be
interested to hear the National
offices' perspective about
"Rogue" fraternities.
The article noted that all the
organizations lost their chapters
due to some reason. The
members may have felt that they
were unfair but there were
definite reasons. AX willfully
gave up their national affiliation
yet feel that they are still AX. No
you're not. The brothers thought
to discharge their obligation of
debt (which the chapter accrued).
That debt doesn't merely cease
to exist. According to Mr.
Riscavage: "Giving up the
chapter seemed the most
logically correct."
Mr. Riscavage, I believe it was
considered the easiest. Others
have also accrued debt. You
must get off your butt and pay
the debt. Being a brother of a
fraternity means hard work. It
also means pride in your letters,
sorry . . The letter of the
national fraternity known as
Delta Chi. To Mr. Riscavage I
would say "You are correct that
brotherhood is not about paper. I
feel that brotherhood is about
responsibility. Responsibility to
one's self, brothers, and National
Affiliation." To the author, "I
feel it is an insult to their
fraternity and sorority men and
women who strive to live up to
the ideals and responsibilities of
being a true national
organization." I also would not
refer to those members of
unrecognized organizations as
brothers.
For the Sig Tau's, good luck
and keep up the effort. One
consideration Tnight be to talk to
legal council, alumni and NLL
about becoming incorporated in
order to become a recognized
national fraternity. Imagine that .
. . an Alpha Chapter at Clarion
University.
To those men who wanted to
originally begin a Sig Ep
Chapter (the freshman group),
decide whether the current men
affiliated with the old chapter
hold the same ideals. Decide
whether they want to belong to
the proud tradition of Phi Sigma
Epsilon and do it the right way.
Good luck.
To those men considering
joining a group of men without
national affiliation or not trying
to gain national affiliation, I
strongly suggest you reconsider.
National organizations provide
education, continuity, a common
history, and leadership.
Lastly, I encourage all national
fraternities and sororities to

They were also instructed not to
drink the water, or eat anything
washed in the water, from the
Dominican Republic. Bottled water
and soda were brought for them to
drink.
On December 25. Pete boarded a
plane headed for the Dominican
Republic. Six hours later he landed
in the capital, Santo Domingo. From
the airport, they were picked up by a
school bus that would take them to
their first destination, Romona. "The
bus that picked us up was a barely-
running piece of crap," said Pete.
The bus reeked of rotten eggs; the
windows were broken and would not
go up or down, half the exhaust sys-
tem was missing, and each passenger
had to be careful of where they
stepped because of holes in the floor.
"Automobiles driven in the
Dominican Republic would not pass
inspection in the United States, so
they are shipped there and sold," said
Pete, there are no street signs or
lights to guide you while driving.
Dips are dug where you are supposed
to stop. Although it is low in cost, it
is not very safe. "We saw two cars
crash into one another in Santo
Domingo: the people got out of their
cars and left. They did not get police,
or move their cars. On the last day of
our trip, we noticed that the same two
cars were still where they had been
left, except one had been picked up.
and moved off the road more." said
Pete.
When they arrived in Romona. the
first thing Pete saw was a woman and
her children in filthy, lorn and tat-
tered clothing stop by a pile of old
rags. They took off their clothes,
threw them on top of the pile and
walked away. "I thought she was
going to wash them." said Pete. The
people wear their clothes until they
cannot be worn any longer and then
discard them. They do not try to
wash or salvage clothing. "They do
not have any education; they need to
learn to read and write, but also to be
healthy and sanitary." said Pete.
"Every house had bars on the win-
dows and doors to keep thieves out.
The people are so poor they will take
anything, from anyone, in order to
survive." said Pete. He knew. then,
how desperate the lives of these peo-
ple were
The first four or five days were
spent in the Haitian part of Romona,
where the group was going to finish
pouring the concrete roof of a health
clinic that would also serve as a floor
to the second story. The people have
no place to go to get any health care,
and cannot afford to go to the
Dominican Republic hospitals. The
health clinic project was started in
the mid-eighties and will take anoth-
er fifteen years to complete. When
finished, the clinic will be four sto-
ries high.
"When the first group started build-
ing the clinic, they installed copper
water pipes, that presumably were
stolen and sold for their value. It only
hampered progress on the clinic and
its benefit to the people of the
Dominican Republic," said Pete. By
stealing the copper pipes, the peo-
ple's poverty level and despair is
reflected; their ignorance of the clin-
ic, and the improvement upon their
lives it will bring about, is also
revealed.
The group members had the choice
of staying in either a hotel or in the
parsonage. Pete's father, Tom Uber,
and three others decided to stay with
Pete at the parsonage. The parsonage
had sleeping quarters and an eating
area that accommodated about fifty
people. "Some women from the
church volunteered to cook and wash
clothes, so we did not have to worry
about anything but completing the
building," said Pete.
Each day the group worked from 8
a.m. until 4 p.m. with the tempera-
tures skyrocketing into the nineties.
After completing the clinic roof, the
group traveled to their next destina-
tion, a batea located in the central
part of the Dominican Republic. The
batea is a small village built near the
sugar cane fields, which takes up
most of the north and central part of
the country. The Haitian's hired to
work there are refugees and are
hired, for an extremely small wage,
to cut cane all day for a large compa-
ny that owns the fields. The company
builds a company store and tiny
houses of wood with metal roofs
The people in the batea raise pigs,
chickens, and anything else that is
needed to survive. For most of the
people there, it is the only civiliza-
tion they have seen or will ever see.
The large, usually American, com-
pany that owns and builds these
bateas. keeps the money flowing in a
continuous cycle. In order to survive,
the Haitian's must buy supplies for
themselves and their families. They
are always in debt because they put
the money they make working back
into the company. The people have
no chance to make enough money to
ever get out of, or change, their des-
perate situation.

READER RESPONSES!
Debate continues concerning prices of Chandler and Reimer
Dear Editor,
For many students on the
campus of Clarion University, it
is all too common to hear
complaints about the food
services, menu choices, meal
plans and flex.
Several of the debates raised
have been with just cause and
some merely have no basis.
However, I feel that the meal
plans being presented to students
for the 96-97 term are not in
their best interests or at the best
value to them.
It is a well known fact that in
order to run a successful
business, you must make a
profit. My question to the Daka
Restaurant Corporation is "at
what cost are their profits to our
students?"
The previous larger meal plan
systems were based on twenty
and fifteen meals a week. The
new plans propose only 19 and
14 meals/week. Where did that
one meal go? Are Chandler and
Reimer Snack Bar no longer
serving one of their meals a
week?
The issue of increasing the
amount of flex dollars on the
meal plans also confuses me.
Most of the students I have
talked with about this situation,
feel that it is difficult for them to
use seventy-five dollars right
now.
Why not leave the students the
Letters
to
the
Editor
option to add money on their
account while keeping the
original $75?
Another of my main arguments
deals with the prices of these
plans. I am not a math major,
but some of these figures do not
add up. Why are we, generally,
paying more for less? Why is
twenty five dollars more flex
costing $79?
Why is the difference between
the 19/meals 100 flex and the
14/meals 100 flex only $27?
That is a difference of seventy-
five meals, which means that
each one of those meals is only
costing Daka $36.
If that is the case, why are the
plans so high initially? It is my
observation, that according to
these prices, it is more
economical for students to pay in
cash when they go over their
allotted dinner amounts in
Reimer Snack Bar.
I know I have raised many
questions on these new changes
as far as dollar amounts and re-
structuring, but I really do not
feel they are unreasonably asked.
Many students realize that
Daka needs to increase prices to
off-set food prices and wage
increases, but we feel that we
should be given some
explanations as to why the
changes have occurred.
Is it not the student's money
that is keeping Daka in business ?
Sincerely,
Derra L. Gregorich
Where are the heads of Clarion University students?
I can't believe the students at
Clarion University! Where are
your heads?!
Out of 4,300+ students who
were to vote on the referendum,
only 953 voted and the ballots
were even sent to you!! Don't
you know voting is a privilege
not a right!
Those of you who didn't vote
are the ones who will probably
yell the loudest when the
additional fees are added to your
bill.
Something else I am appalled
at is, of the students who voted,
most of them voted yes.
What were you thinking? I was
not aware college was about
recreation. I realize there is a
problem with the use of the gym
because of various reasons and
that students do need a place for
recreation, but are we not here to
learn? To receive degrees and
become employable?
We have a library that is in
desperate need of material to
bring it up to "standard," we are
working with equipment that
National organizations are way to go
seriously needs updated and/or
replaced, and you want your
money to go to a recreation
center. NOW THAT WILL
GIVE YOU A GOOD
EDUCATION!
Some of you don't care about
the additional fees because
mommy and daddy are paying
for your education, but there are
a lot of us out here who are
paying for our own education.
Someday when you have kids
in college, you will understand
the value of the almighty dollar.
My last complaint about this
whole thing is that I had to find
out about the outcome of the
vote in the Oil City Derrick THE
VERY NEXT DAY!
How is it that The Derrick
knew about it before the student
population did!?
Letting you know my feelings.

Dear Editor,
I am writing concerning the
article entitle, "Whatever
happened to AX, TKE, IT, and
TKE?" I am a Clarion alumni
from 1988 who recently visited
Clarion University to speak as a
fraternity educational consultant.
As I read the article. I was struck
by the disrespect lor the ideals
and philosophy of the National
Headquarters. I would be
interested to hear the National
offices' perspective about
"Rogue" fraternities.
The article noted that all the
organizations lost their chapters
due to some reason. The
members may have fell that they
were unfair but there were
definite reasons. AX willfully
gave up their national affiliation
yet feel that they are still AX. No
you're not. The brothers thought
to discharge their obligation of
debt (which the chapter accrued).
That debt doesn't merely cease
to exist. According to Mr.
Riscavage: "Giving up the
chapter seemed the most
logically correct."
Mr. Riscavage, I believe it was
considered the easiest. Others
have also accrued debt. You
must get off your butt and pay
the debt. Being a brother of a
fraternity means hard work. It
also means pride in your letters,
sorry . . The letter of the
national fraternity known as
Delta Chi. To Mr. Riscavage I
would say "You are correct that
brotherhood is not about paper. I
feel that brotherhood is about
responsibility. Responsibility to
one's self, brothers, and National
Affiliation." To the author. "I
feel it is an insult to their
fraternity and sorority men and
women who strive to live up to
the ideals and responsibilities of
being a true national
organization." I also would not
refer to those members of
unrecognized organizations as
brothers.
For the Sig Tau's, good luck
and keep up the effort. One
consideration Tnight be to talk to
legal council, alumni and NLL
about becoming incorporated in
order to become a recognized
national fraternity. Imagine that .
. . an Alpha Chapter at Clarion
I University.
To those men who wanted to
originally begin a Sig Lp
Chapter (the freshman group),
decide whether the current men
affiliated with the old chapter
hold the same ideals. Decide
whether they want to belong to
the proud tradition of Phi Sigma
Epsilon and do it the right way.
Good luck.
To those men considering
joining a group of men without
national affiliation or not trying
to gain national affiliation. I
strongly suggest vou reconsider.
National organizations provide
education, continuity, a common
history, and leadership.
Lastly, I encourage all national
fraternities and sororities to

Alpha Kappa Responds to sorority criticism
Coast Guard rescues 4 from
flooding
Four young men clinging to trees in the middle of a rain-swollen
creek were lifted out Tuesday by a Coast Guard helicopter usually
dispatched to rescue missions at sea. The helicopter, dispatched
from Cape May, N.J., lifted the victims one by one from the middle
of Perkiomen Creek in Montgomery County, grown to twice its size
after about an inch of rain fell Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Lower Providence Township Police identified the victims as Mike
Madara, 20; Eric Pascucci, 22; Carmen Falcone, 21; and Marc
Schmidt, 22, all of Norristown.
Man faces 2,300 counts of sex
abuse
A man who sexually abused his stepchildren over a period of five
years faces more than 2,300 criminal charges, according to state
police at Embreeville. The 33-year-old man, whose name was
withheld to protect the identity of the stepchildren, was arraigned
last week before District Justice Theodore Michaels. He was
committed to Chester County Prison after failing to post $100,000
cash bail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday. He
was charged with 91 counts of rape, 91 counts of statutory rape,
390 counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, 390 counts of
indecent assault, 390 counts of corruption of minors and 390 counts
of endangering the welfare of children.
Ridge may compromise on welfare
Sounding a note of compromise; Gov. Tom Ridge said Tuesday he
is willing to scale back his proposal to cut 259,000 low-income
people from Medicaid to get his budget through the Legislature.
The Senate last month approved Ridge's plan to save $250 million
by making it harder to quality for Medicaid, the state-federal health
insurance program for the poor and disabled. The planned cuts
were blocked by the House a week later.
The Medicaid budget has grown twice as fast as the overall
budget in the last decade, with spending expected to reach $2.5
billion this year. That covers the health care costs of one in eight
Pennsylvania's.
FBI tightens security in Montana
Federal agents increased security around the barricaded Freemen
compound Tuesday while a militia leader turned away from federal
headquarters said he was trying to avoid "a field of battle."
Michigan militia leader Norman Olson said he was trying to meet
with the FBI field commander at the temporary headquarters in
Jordan, about 30 miles from the compound.
Afterward, Olson drove to the main FBI checkpoint outside the
compound to announce he would try again Wednesday to meet with
FBI officials, he didn't attempt to go on the Freemen compound.
Security was noticeably tighter Tuesday around the 960-acre farm
complex where the anti-government extremists have holed up for
23 days. A normally open road leading to the compound was
blocked and vehicles were searched more thoroughly.

Dear Editor,
I am the president of the Kappa
Zeta chapter of Alpha Kappa
Sorority, Incorporated and I am
writing this letter to respond to
the article "People Interested In
Sorority Got A Big Let Down"
which was in the March 21, 1996
edition of the Clarion Call.
The person who wrote this
letter made many comments
directed to my sorority and me
about the article written in the
February 15, 1996 edition of the
Clarion Call . I want to respond
to these comments and questions
because I feel this person
misinterpreted and misquoted
me.
The person said I made a
statement saying we are planning
on taking new members. I said
that "we hope to take members
tohelp the sorority grow and
continue doing projects locally
and nationally."
You said I shouldn't have said
we are planning to take
members, but if you take a look
at both articles you will see that
you misquoted me. At this
present time we have not been
able to accomplish what we had
hoped to do, but we are not
giving up.
We have a desire to take new
members because we want the
sorority to grow, and we are
aware there are several people
interested in becoming new
members, but we will not take on
members unless we get an
official consent. We could have
easily taken new members this
semester illegally, but we chose
to wait until we are able to do it
officially. I would also like to
respond to your statement about
putting something in a campus
newspaper. I did not put
something in a campus
newspaper deliberately trying to
make us appear as if we're
committing to doing something
that we're actually not.
We apologize to those people
who feel they got a big let down
because what we had hoped to
do could not be done as of yet,
but only when we have definite
plans can we let everyone know.
If anyone ever has any questions
they can feel free to talk to any
one of us personally.

serve as a warning to the
workers that they can be
replaced," said Pete. What the
workers do not realize is that it
would cost the company more to
operate the combines, than what
it is costing them to pay for their
wages.
When Pete and the other
volunteers got to the batea, they
surveyed the poor conditions in
which people were living in.
Every child they saw had a
bloated stomach from worms,
their teeth were rotten from
chewing on sugar cane, and they
ran around with little or no
clothing. "We were the only
Americans these children had
ever seen, and they were
fascinated by us," said Pete.
They do not know what
modern medicine is, and they do
not have any medical supplies;
therefore, they believe in
voodoo. The reason the Baptist
church was being built is to help
the people learn about modern
medicine and the value of
education.
John Luke is the man behind
the entire project. He runs the
school, will be the pastor for the
new church, and he is planning
the construction and
management of supplies for the
clinic in Romona. "He is
building all of this from nothing;
he buys all the supplies from
monetary donations," said Pete.
The last day was spent in Santo
Domingo as a free day. Pete and
his dad visited Christopher
Columbus' tomb and went
shopping. "We had to barter for
every souvenir we purchased;
our money is very valuable to
them," said Pete. The prices are
extremely high, and the
American dollar is worth thirteen
pesos.
On January sixth, Pete, his
father, and the other volunteers,
boarded the plane for the United
States. "It was amazing to see
how poor these people were, and
the little I contributed made such
a big difference," said Pete. "I
gave the missionary my extra
shoes and clothes that I had
brought on the trip; I knew they
would be needed more by these
people than by me," said Pete.
Pete plans to return to the
Dominican Republic; the time he
spent working for the people
there, and learning about them,
can never be replaced. Not only
did it make an impression on
him but also a long-lasting
impression on a country in such
dire need of help.

had high ceilings that helped the
professors voices carry
throughout the room.
I have talked to friends who
had classes in Founders before it
closed, and they agreed that the
building was one that had a
certain ambience. It made them
feel like they were in a true
college facility, and it had a way
of making students feel more
intelligent.
If this building has been on
campus as long as it has, why
isn't it being renovated quicker
to be used for its original
purpose.
I realize that this will be
corrected in the future, but the
question is, how long will it
take?
In the meantime, there are
students preparing to leave their
classrooms in the gym who must
look left and right before exiting,
otherwise, they might get
trampled!

Clarion University releases academic equipment funds
Courtesy of University
Relations
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania president Diane
Reinhard and Provost John Kuhn
have recently authorized the
release of $20,000 for academic
equipment and library collection
purposes.
This is the second round of
funding for academic equipment
released this academic year.
The first round of equipment
purchases was initiated early in
the 1995 Fall semester in the
amount of $180,000.
Most of the equipment from the
first round has been received and
is in use.
According to Kuhn, the current
funding includes $120,000 for
general academic equipment,
$40,000 to enhance the Carlson
and Suhr Library collections, and
$40,000 for Peirce Hall instruc-
tional lab equipment and facili-
ties improvement.
A set procedure for allocating
general equipment funds is fol-
lowed explained Associate
Provost Tom Gusler.
The procedure starts with each
of Clarion University's five col-
leges submiting a prioritized
equipment list.
The colleges have a prescribed
method of involving student and
faculty advisory groups that work
with the deans through the vari-
ous steps of proposing, selecting,
and rank ordering academic
equipment items.
The request lists are reviewed
by Gusler's office where the
higher priority items are com-
bined into an overall list of spe-
cific funding reccomendations.
The document is then reviewed
by Kuhn and the Council of
Deans.
"The students, faculty, and
deans know what academic
equipment is needed for our
classrooms," says Gusler.
"It just makes sense to have
them recommend and rank order
the specific equipment for the
college request lists.
Provost Kuhn and I then do
what we can do to see that the
money is there to meet those
needs."
"Unfortunately, there are always
more requests than there are
funds to go around, but in the
past several years the administra-
tion is trying to direct more
money toward academic equip-
ment. "
"That effort has made a positive
difference," says Gusler.
Once the final list is approved
by the provost, the deans' staffs
will work with the purchasing
office to order their items.
"The purchasing office does a
lot of work to ensure that we get
the best equipment for our dollars
and that the process follows all of
the university and state regula-
tions," says Gusler. "That service
is a very important part of the
process."
The center for computing ser-
vices also plays a major role in
the process.
Gusler noted it is not unusual
for more than three-fourths of the
equipment requests to be for
computerized equipment of some
type.
The center's staff provides the
service of making the specifica-
tions for these items.
With the increase in the acade-
mic equipment fund totals, the
task of providing accurate and
timely specifications in a con-
stantly changing computer world
has added to the duties of
Computing Services.
"Coming up with current specs
does require more stafff time, but
the good news is that we know a
lot more academic computing
equipment is being purchased,"
says Steve Selker, associate
director of computing services.
Gusler reports that in the 1990-
91 academic approximately
$166,000 was available for acad-
emic equipment.
Last year the figure reached
$480,000 and it is hoped that the
current year funds will also
approach that amount.
"I recall one exceptionally dif-
ficult budget year when we bad
only $15,000 available for equip-
ment purchases for the entire
division," says Gusler.
"That was a tough year. A lot of
people at Clarion have worked
hard to change that situation."

listen carefully to the woman he
is with and not to make assump-
tions about that woman's behav-
ior.
Men should also be aware that
they can be charged with rape for
having sex with a person who is
intoxicated and is unaware of
what is happening.
Another way of prevention is for
men to be especially careful in
group situations.
Men should also get involved if
they believe someone is at risk.
They could end up saving two
people from a horrifying ordeal.
Debra Burghardt from the
Clarion Sexual Assault Network
summed up the forum by saying
it was a "very good start." "It is
clear that there is a great deal of
misunderstanding about women
reporting incidents of sexual
assault. I see that the initiative is
there and am very hopeful about
our upcoming programs,"
Burghardt said.
Two programs have been set up
for the observance of Sexual
Assault Month.
On Thursday, April 18, a pro-
gram called "Take Back The
Night" will be held.
Participants will march from the
Gemmell Student Center to the
parking lot of The Immaculate
Conception Church.
The march will continue to the
Clarion County Courthouse for a
rally, and a candlelight ceremony
will culminate the program.
"Take Back the Night" is being
sponsored by the Clarion Sexual
Assault Network.
It is a national event that first
took place in San Francisco, CA
in 1978.
On Monday, April 22, a forurn
will be held in Hart Chapel at 4
p.m. The forum is entitled "Men
Speak Out About Sexual
Assault."The forum is sponsored
by STAR and the Clarion Sexual
Assault Network. Everyone is
invited to attend both programs.

State System requires additional funding due to state cutbacks
Courtesy ofSSHE
A challenging fiscal environ-
ment currently exists in
Pennsylvania. For the State
System of Higher Education, this
means that little funding is avail-
able and operations must become
more efficient and effective to
meet funding needs. This year,
the Board of Governors has
approved a 1996-97 appropria-
tions request which presents a
new approach to seek funding for
the 14 state-owned universities.
"This new approach will
require the shared resources of
the Commonwealth, through
appropriations; the State System,
by reducing expenditures; and
the students, through tuition,"
State System Chancellor James
McCormick explains.
The system is requesting an
educational and general appropri-
ation of $414.8 million.
This will include funding to
meet inflationary cost increases
of existing programs. These
funds will include the costs of a
facilities upgrade and moderniza-
tion programs.
The System also is requesting a
special purpose appropriation of
$8 million for technology initia-
tives.
The System's request for fund-
ing is due to no increase in fund-
ing as recommended by Gov.
Tom Ridge's budget proposal.
What the governor has proposed
for the coming fiscal year will
equal the State System's 1995-96
appropriations plus Tuition
Challenge coming to a combined
total of $396.9 million.
The governor's budget also
includes $1.1 million for affirma-
tive action initiatives, $321,000
for the recruitment and retention
of disadvantaged students, and
$200,000 for operation of the
McKeever Environmental
Learning Center.
The Department of Education's
proposed budget includes $7 mil-
lion for "Higher Education
Technology".
It has yet to be determined how
the funding will be distributed
but the State System is hoping to
receive some.
"The Governor's proposal will
test the mandated purpose of the
System to provide a high quality
education at the lowest possible
cost to the students," said
Chancellor McCormick.
State Senate appropriation
hearings were held earlier this
year where Chancellor
McCormick and other staff mem-
bers testified making the case for
the System's 1996-97 request for
funding.
Senators have raised questions
about technology, health and
safety concerns, and faculty pro-
ductivity and operational effi-
ciency. System officials have also
testified before the House of
Representatives' Appropriations
Committee.
House members are also con-
cerned about the rising costs of
tuition, technology costs, financ-
ing for repairs and renovations,
and the cost of sabbaticals and
tuition waivers for employees'
dependents.
Through increased funding for
the State System, a technology
plan can be implemented which
is comprised of distance learning
and outreach, connecting the
libraries electronically, and
enhancing the infrastructure by
providing Internet capabilities for
all schools.
The system is trying to move
ahead with these plans and has
requested an $8 million special
purpose appropriation from the
Commonwealth to help fund the
projects.
A brochure summarizing the
System's funding requests is
available from the Office of the
Chancellor System Relations
Division at (717) 720-4052.
Universities move to "one card student ID" system
Courtesy of College Press
Service
It used to be that ID cards were
just that-ID cards.
But on more college campuses,
the student identification cards
can be called "everything cards."
for enabling students to buy
snacks at vending machines,
access school records, gain entry
to university buildings, ride the
bus and more.
This year, universities from
Florida State to Indiana State are
making the conversion to a "one
card" system.
Starting this fall, Florida State
University students will have a
world of information at their fin-
gertips with the same identifica-
tion cards that gets them into
Seminole games and dining halls.
The so-called "smart cards"
contain a computer chip and are
far more sophisticated than mag-
netic-strip cards, school officials
say. As with their old ID cards,
students can use the smart cards
at automated teller machines and
stores around campus, or for
access into dorms.
But the smart card also will
allow students to access their
school records, including grades,
transcripts and financial-aid
information. Students will be
able to transfer a financial-aid
check directly to their card with-
out going to the bank.
The card "opens up a new set of
possibilities," said Bill Norwood,
executive director of Florida
State's Card Application
Technology Center. Even bank
transactions are possible with the
new card because the computer
chip is harder to duplicate and
thus more secure than the mag-
netic strip, he said.
The smart card recently made
its debut at a conference attended
by more than 200 schools. If the
"smart card" idea catches on at
other schools, the university
stands to earn licensing and con-
sulting fees. As it is, many other
universities already have expand-
ed the use of student ID cards.
Beginning the week of April 1,
thousands of students, faculty
members and staff members
streamed through the ballroom at
Indiana State University to get
their new identification cards.

The first court-ordered wiretap
on a computer network has
nabbed an Argentine student who
hacked his way into U.S. military
computers.
At the same time, the wiretap
has sparked concerns about how
far the government should go in
readino private e-mail.
Julio Cesar Ardita, a 21 -year-
old university student, tapped
into Harvard University's com-
puter system through the
Internet, stole a series of pass-
words and accounts, and from
there worked his way into the
computers of the U.S. Defense
Department, the Navy and
NASA, said Atty. Gen. Janet
Reno. He also is believed to have
illegally entered computer sys-
tems at other universities, includ-
ing Cal Tech, the University of
Massachusetts, and Northeastern
University, added Reno.
Ardita, who officials say never
uncovered top-secret data, is
accused of conducting illegal
computer entries from Buenos
Aires, where he lives. Although
he is charged with three U.S.
felonies related to illegal comput-
er entry, the violations are not
extraditable offenses under U.S.-
Argentine treaties.
Ardita, however, may be
charged by Argentine authorities,
who have opened their own
investigation and confiscated his
computer last December.

cies have done electronic surveil-
lance on computer systems in the
past without the consent of users.
In this case, court authorization
was thought to be necessary
because the Harvard computer
system does not post a message
informing users who log onto the
system that their communications
may be monitored.
"This is doing it the right way,"
Reno said. "We are using a tradi-
tional court order and new tech-
nology to defeat a criminal while
protecting individual rights and
Constitutional principles that are
important to all Americans?"
Yet questions remain as to
whether the wiretap could consti-
tute government intrusion into
individual privacy. U.S. Attorney
Donald K. Stem said every pre-
caution was taken to make sure
the communications of people
who were not part of the investi-
gation were respected.
"We intercepted only those
communications which fit the
pattern," explained Stem. "Even
when communications contained
the identifying pattern of the
intruder, we limited our initial
examination to 80 characters
around the tell-tale sign to further
protect the privacy of innocent
communications."
The wiretap pinpointed various
sites Ardita favored or key words
he used in communications, such
as "griton," the name he called
himself, which is Spanish for
"screamer."
Although court-ordered wire-
taps on telephones have long
been used by police and federal
authorities during criminal inves-
tigations, the same device is new
to the Internet. To some, its use in
the relatively unexplored world
of cyberspace is worrisome.
"We just don't know enough,"
said Michael Froomkin, as asso-
ciate professor at the University
of Miami law school, adding that
the government 5 brief history
fighting computer crime 'has
been ugly."
Froomkin is most concerned
about the process called mini-
mization, in which the wiretap
was narrowed in scope so as not
pick up on innocent communica-
tions. "What were the key words?
Who picked them?," he said.
"How many false positives?
Minimization is in many ways
the Achilles heel of this thing."
In the Ardita case, the govern-
ment seemingly took the right
precautions with the wiretap to
avoid tapping into private e-mail,
Froomkin said. 'They (the gov-
ernment) either cared or looked
like they wanted to care," he said.
Shari Steele, an attorney for the
Electronic Frontier Foundation, a
civil liberties group, said that the
Harvard wiretap apeared to be
appropriate. "In this particular
case, the government had war-
rants," she said. "We don't have a
problem with that.
"Law enforcement officials
need to be able to do their jobs,
with new technologies and old
technologies," she added.

Check out Federal Work Study - Off Campus Style
by Gara L Smith
Intern, CSL
Do you have ten hours a week
that you could be earning some
extra cash? If so, the Off-
Campus Community Service
Federal Work Study Program
may be for you.
The Off-Campus Community
Service Federal Work Study posi-
tions provide Clarion University
students with work learning
opportunities related to their edu-
cational or career goals.
Beginning in July 1994, the U.S.
Department of Education
required that five percent of
every institution's Federal Work
Study (FWS) funds be used to
compensate students engaged in
community service work-study
jobs.
At Clarion University "approxi-
mately $12,000 has been allocat-
ed for the 1995-96 academic
year" toward the Off-Campus
Community Service Federal
Work Study Program, says Ken
Grugel, Director of Financial
Aid.
The Higher Education
Amendment of 1992 defines
community service as "services
that are... designed to improve the
quality of life for community res-
idents, particularly low-income
individuals, or to solve particular
problems to their needs." The
Off-Campus Community Service
Federal Work Study program is
coordinated by Diana Anderson,
Director of Special Activity
Programs. Anderson states, 'The
Federal Work Study positions
allow students to go beyond typi-
cal campus work study and expe-
rience career related employment
through non-profit service based
agencies."
Anderson further adds, "Our
office provides students with
'one-stop' shopping where all
information regarding communi-
ty service, off-campus communi-
ty service federal work-study,
and volunteerism are housed."
Special Activity Programs
ensures that the program meets
needs consistent with the com-
munity service legislation while
choosing agencies that are com-
mitted to providing students with
substantive positions that will
enhance their educational experi-
ences. Students are screened and
orientated before and during their
placements.

Lehman says that her work has
been a "valuable experience" at
the Clarion Free Library. "I was
a little unsure at first since I have
never worked at a library, but it
has been a lot of fun working
with the public," comments
Lehman. Rose Schreckengost of
Family Health Council has only
positive remarks to make regard-
ing her student worker. "Amber
(Cooper) has been indispensable
to our agency. She has become
an integral part of our staff by
working well with fellow staff
members and our clients."
"It (FWS) is an outstanding
opportunity for students to get
involved locally within the
Clarion community and develop
future leadership skills, while
earning college funds," states
Grugel.
Applications are available from
the Office of Special Activity
Programs, 247 Gemmell, for the
1996-97 academic year at
Clarion County Area Agency on
Aging, Clarion Free Library,
PASSAGES, Clarion County

Everyone, Inc. To qualify, a stu-
dent must file an FAFSA or
FAFSA renewal with the
Financial Aid Office, 104 Egbert

must be eligible for federal aid.
Interested students should then
complete an application for Off-

Local bands are a breath of fresh air compared to copy-cats
by Aaron Davis
Lifestyles Writer
This week I am going to review
two albums that probably aren't
worth my time. The first one is
"Feel Lucky Punk" by Klover.
The second is "Untimed" by
Sharpnine. For me, both are
examples of selling out and being
lazy to try to do your own thing.
"Feel Lucky Punk" is a won-
derful album if you are into the
pop music that Green Day is
making. As far as I am con-
cerned, there is nothing punk
about either band. Klover is tak-
ing some of punk's traits and
using them to create a catchy pop
tune that all of the junior high
school kids can sing along to at

their dances. Punk was meant to
be a form of rebellion against
what the band thought was wrong
with the world, their lives, or
anything else. Punk was meant
to anger people, not to make
mem sing along and be happy.
Klover does have a couple of
songs mat are not Green Day
clones, which probably means
that they are not a band mat is a
total copy of Green Day, but are
using the ability to recreate the
sound that Green Day has to sell
a lot of records . I feel that if you
have faith in your music and pro-
duce it well, then people will buy
the albums. You may not sell as
many at one time as a copy-cat
group, but will be better off in the
long run. There should be less
bands in the music industry to
make a quick buck, and more
bands playing because they love
to do it.
As annoying as Klover is,
Sharpnine is even worse. There
are already too many bands out
mere trying to sound like Pearl
Jam and Nirvana. Each new one
mat comes along gets worse than
the one before it. Sharpnine is
the worst of that bad bunch of

thing is that these bands are using
the amazing success mat neither
Pearl Jam or Nirvana wanted to
make their millions. I am sure
that if Kurt Cobain were alive
today, he would be extremely
unhappy at the state of 'modern
music.
Unfortunately, music creates
copy-cat artists. With every new
style, mere are bands that recre-
ate the sound and change it just a
little to make a lot of money. I
feel a lot better after going to see
local bands like CGC, Cabal,
Linus, and Blindside since I

there making their music because
they love to do it. Sunday's show

bands was a great experience,
and I urge everyone to see all of
these bands if you get the chance.
They have helped to reinforce my
faith in music, and all are great
bands, live or otherwise.

Here Comes the Bride by Dave Barry
We're coming into wedding
season, a magical time when the
radiant bride, on her Most
Special Day, finally makes that
long-awaited walk down the
Aisle of Joyfulness to stand next
to the Man of Her Dreams, only
to sprint back up the Aisle of
Joyfulness when she suddenly
realizes that she forgot to pluck
out her Middle Eyebrow Hairs of
Grossness. Because the bride
knows that a wedding video is
forever. She knows that, 20 years
later, she could be showing her
video to friends, and as soon as
she left the room they'd turn to
each other and say, 'What WAS
that on her forehead? A tarantu-
la?"
Oh yes, there is a LOT of pres-
sure on today's bride to make her
Big Day fabulous and perfect.
Overseeing a modern wedding is
comparable, in terms of com-
plexity, to flying the space shut-
tle; in fact, it's WORSE, because
shuttle crew members don't have
to select their silver pattern. This
is done for them by ground-based
engineers:
COMMAND CENTER: OK,
Discovery, we're gonna go with
the 'Fromage de Poisson" pat-
tern, OK?
DISCOVERY: Houston, we
have a problem with the aspara-
gus server.
xxxxx
Of course, the bride does get
some help. The multibillion-dol-
lar U.S. wedding industry - cur-
rently the second-largest industry
in the United States, behind the
latte industry - helps the bride by
publishing monthly bridal maga-
zines the size of the U.S. tax code
full of products that the bride
absolutely HAS to have and
checklists relentlessly reminding
the bride of all the decisions she
has to make RIGHT NOW con-
cerning critical issues such as the
florist and the caterer and the
cake and the centerpieces and the
guest favors for the formal cock-
tail reception. (Of COURSE
there have to be guest favors at
the formal cocktail reception!
Don't you know ANYTHING?)
Of course, the groom has
responsibilities, too. According
to ancient tradition, on the morn-
ing of the wedding the groom
must check the TV listings to
make sure there is no playoff
game scheduled during the cere-
mony, because if there is he
would have to miss it (the cere-
mony)
But the other 19 million wed-
ding details are pretty much left
up to the bride; this is why, when
she finally gets to her Most
Special Day, she is clinically
insane. Exhibit A is Princess
Diana. People ask: "What went
wrong? Princess Diana had the
Fairy Tale Wedding of the
Century!" Yes! Exactly! YOU try
planning the Fairy Tale Wedding
of the Century! This poor woman
didn't just have to think about
party favors; she had HORSES in
i her wedding- A LOT of them.
Just try to imagine the etiquette
issues: What color should the
horses be? Should they be invited
to the reception? Should they
have centerpieces? What if they
EAT the centerpieces? These are
just a few of the issues Princess
Diana was grappling with while
Prince Charles was out riding
around whacking grouse with a
polo mallet. No wonder there was
tension!
But it's not just Princess Diana:

Wedding planning makes ALL
brides crazy. Anybody who
doubts this statement should
investigate what actually goes on
at a "bridal shower." I don't
know about you, but I used to
think that a shower was just a
sedate little party wherein the
bride's women friends gave
thoughtful little gifts to the bride
and ate salads with low-fat dress-
ing on the side. Wrong! You
would not BELIEVE the bizarre
things women do at these affairs.
For example, I have it on excel-
lent authority that women at
showers play this game wherein
teams compete to see who can
make the best wedding dress
OUT OF TOILET PAPER. I'm
not making this up! Ask a show-
er attendee! If a MAN were to
wrap himself in a personal
hygiene product, he'd immedi-
ately be confined in a room with
no sharp objects, but this is con-
sidered normal behavior for a
woman planning a wedding.
I have been informed by an
informed source that women at
bridal showers also sometimes
play a variation of "Pin the Tail
on the Donkey," except that
instead of a picture of a donkey,
they use a picture of a man, and
instead of a tail, they use some-
thing that is not a tail, if you get
my drift. I am not suggesting that
Princess Diana played this game
at her shower, and I am certainly
not suggesting that the Queen
did, so just get that mental picture
out of your mind right now.
All I'm saying is that, with
spring upon us, you may find
yourself near a woman in the
throes of planning a wedding; if
so, you need to recognize that she
is under severe pressure, and
above all you need to do
EXACTLY AS SHE SAYS. If
she wants you to wrap yourself in
toilet paper, or purchase and wear
a bridesmaid's dress that makes
you look like a walking
Barcalounger, JUST DO IT. You
should do it even if you are the
groom. Because this is the bride's
Most Special Day, and you want
to help her make sure everything
is exactly the way you want it
when the two of you finally stand
together in front of all your
friends and loved ones, and you
gaze upon her face, and you say
the words she has been waiting a
lifetime to hear: "Hey! What's
that between your eyebrows?"

Strike "Gold" with Starflyer 59's latest album
by Aaron Davis
lifestyles Writers
This week I'm reviewing one of
the best albums of 1995.
Released early last fall, "Gold,"
is Starflyer 59's second full-
length album on Tooth and Nail
Records. Now, since I assume
this is a relatively unheard-of
band to most of you, I will
attempt to describe Starflyer 59.
They are a mix of a more
solemn Smashing Pumpkins,
Cure-ish, 50's pop sound (much
like a melodic-sounding version
of a Foo
Fighters'
Big me"

type thing, but not very com-
parative of the Foo Fighters at all,
if that makes any sense).
Starflyer 59 enjoys using the
chorus pedal (which is the
same guitar effect Nirvana
used in the beginning of "Come
As You Are," for those unfamil-
iar with the term). They also
mix that with a lot of distortion
and feedback at times. This
makes for an interesting combi-
nation.
On Gold," it's very hard to
pick out the best songs. If
you're feeling mellow, I suggest
"Messed Up Over You," "When
You Feel the Mess,"
"Somewhere In Your Heart
Glowed the Hope," "Indiana,"
and "One Shot Juanita." They
are very soothing and dreamy.
There are also poppy songs,
like "You're Mean," and that
very 50's pop sound that I
referred to earlier, in "Do You
Ever Feel That Way."
Among all the melodic gui-
tars and noise-pop is lead
singer/guitarist/drummer, Jason
Martin. His singing is like a
whisper moving along with the
breeze (sorry, I'm getting poet-
ic). The other member of
Starflyer 59 is Andrew Larson,
the bass player. Now, as you can
pretty much guess, they're more
of a studio band. But other Tooth
and Nail bands help them out
when they go on tour, and some
also helped out on "Gold."
I find that one of the most inter-
esting aspects of this band is that
they are on a Christian label,
and arc religious themselves, but
do not preach in their music. If
the term "Christian music" turns
you off, I assure you that
Starflyer 59 is not like the
Christian music you've heard
before. They are not within the
cheese factor of Amy Grant or

Stryper. In fact, if I had never
written this paragraph, and you
had sought out the album and
listened to it, you would have
never realized they were a
Christian band. But, I feel that
knowing of their Christian back-
round, is just as important as
knowing what they sound like.
So open your minds when you
listen to Starflyer 59, dear reader.
Starflyer 59 also has two HP's,
"She's the Queen" and "Le
Vaingueur," along with their
first, self-titled album. All of
them have the same feel as
"Gold."
Look for Starflyer 59 and other
'Tooth and Nail bands, along
with other Christian bands, at
Cornerstone this summer. This
is a great alternative to the once-
alternative nature of
Lollapalooza. Cornerstone is a
three -day event, full of great
music, and free of the idiocy that
seems to be a trend at
Lollapalooza, or Lollapa-loser, as
I like to call it. If you're inter-
ested in going, ask me about it if
you see me on campus, or surf
the net for info. And remember,
with Starflyer 59, there's
absolutely no way you can get a
bad message, and your parents
would approve too!

Brothers get educated on the subject of rape
Fraternity Violence Education Project comes to Clarion
by Charlotte Kunzler
Greek Writer
On Sunday, April 14, 1996 in
the Gemmell Student Complex, a
seminar was held on The
Fraternity Violence Education
Project, headed by West Chester
University of Pennsylvania.
The Womens' Studies Group
on Clarion University's campus
in conjunction with Clarion's
Interfraternal Council helped set
up the groups trip to Clarion.
A psychology professor from
West Chester University of
Pennsylvania was accompanied
by the coordinator of the seminar
Chris Smith, John Repetto, and
Eric Heins.
The project hopes to assist in
taking leadership to protect vio-
lence against women.
Representatives of the Sigma
Tau Gamma and Kappa Delta
Rho fraternities were in atten-
dance to learn more about this
topic and take a stance against
the violent crimes to women.
President of the Sigma Tau
Gamma fraternity, Kevin Miko
stated, "The seminar on violence
against women was very infor-
mative. West Chester University
of Pennsylvania has a great pro-
gram that can be very beneficial
to fraternity men at Clarion
University."
Pete Talento, president of the
Kappa Delta Rho fraternity stat-
ed, "Kappa Delta Rho and Sigma
Tau Gamma showed that we do
care about the violence that has
been occurring to women on this
campus."
The three main goals of the
Fraternity Violence Project are;
"For men to educate other men
led by men for men," to provide
men with the necessary skills to
confront this social problem and
to provide knowledge on the
causes of violence against
women.
During the seminar on Sunday,
April 14, the education group
provided the men with the
process of starting the program
like West Chester University's at
Clarion University.
They also used mock trials of
situations to illustate pertinant
information on this subject.
If the Fraternity Violence
Education Project is incorporated
at Clarion University, it will only
be offered to fraternity men.
The project will most likely
take the form of a class with uni-
versity credit. It will be run and
taught by fraternity men to ele-
vate conciousness on violent acts
of crime towards women. The
class will be overseen by a pro-
fessor at Clarion University, pos-
sibly from the Women's Studies
Department.
The class would possibly be
held like an open forum involv-
ing discussions on violence and
associated topics, journals and
written papers.
Since the class would be for
college credit if accepted, there
will be some sort of evaluating
and grading scale involved.
No information on how this will
be incorporated into the schedul-
ing system for classes or the
process taken to get the FVEP
approved has been extracted as of
now. Some additional ideas were
presented to the men in atten-
dance of the seminar by West
Chester University fraternity
alumni.
Some of these suggestions to
the men in attendance were:
•Raise your conciousness as a
male about the violence against
women.
•Confront men who use sexist
language and or make jokes
degrading women.
•Do not interperet "no" for "try
harder'" just quit there. »Do not
use alcohol as an excuse or rea-
son for acting violently or taking
advantage of women.
•Alcohol does not cause men to
be violent against women.
Kappa Delta Rho brother, Jeff
Levkulich, who also attended the
seminar, said, "I think this pro-
gram will work, because it places
students in an environment where
they have an opportunity to ask
questions that they wanted to
know when they felt they could-
n't necessarily ask adults."
Levkulich added, "I think the
idea of offering a class where this
topic will be explained by a stu-
dents point of view will be infor-

Feldman almost perfect
Diamond dwellers prepare for Mercyhurst
By Tim Rafalski
Sports Writer
Oh yes, the sweet smell of
spring is in the air. The sun is out
(finally!), the birds are singing,
and the flowers are blooming.
And now that spring is finally
here, it's time to get those bats
and mitts out and start smacking
the horsehide around. For those
of you who don't understand,
baseball season is upon us.
The warm spring air is a wel-
come feeling for the Clarion
baseball team after an especially
cold first month of the season.
"This is the worst spring in the 16
years that I've been here," said
head coach Rich Herman.
The Golden Eagles managed a
2-2 record last week by sweeping
a double-header from Edinboro
on Thursday before losing two
games to Slippery Rock on
Saturday.
In the first game on Thursday,
Clarion (2-7 PSAC West, 5-14
overall) jumped out early on the
Fighting Scots and never looked
back. Sophomore Jeremy Young
singled in the first inning then
advanced to second on a wild
pitch. Red hot senior co-captain
Chad McCombs then stepped to
the plate and stroked a single to
drive home Young.
The scoring continued in the
third when junior Bill Bates and
Young reached base on a fielder's
choice and error, respectively.
McCombs strolled back up to the
plate and showed the pitcher the
true meaning of the word
"dinger". His three run shot put
Clarion up 4-0.
That was all the offense the
Golden Eagles needed as senior
pitchers Scott Feldman and Ron
Talik combined to two-hit the
Fighting Scots. Feldman picked
up the win pitching 5 2/3
innings, giving up two runs on
two hits while stiking out three.
Talik finished up with a perfect 1
1/3 innings for the save.
Clarion's offense continued to
roll in the second game just like
the first, banging out the hits
early and often. Senior Chris
Skultety started the attack with a
first inning single. That was fol-
lowed by Jeff Stanyard's double
which put men on second and
third with their big stick,
McCombs coming up. The
Golden Eagle senior grounded
out but was still able to drive in
Skultety for the first score.
Junior Scott Weir then singled
home Stanyard to put Clarion up
2-0.
The onslaught continued in the
second as sophomores Don
Schmidt and Phil Pegher hit con-
secutive singles and Skultety
walked to load up the bases.
Stanyard then reached base on an
error, scoring Schmidt.
McCombs and sophomore Steve
Franz then hit back-to -back RBI
singles to put Clarion up 5-0 after
two innings of play.
Edinboro rallied back, scoring
three in the third and two in the
fourth to tie the score at five a
piece. Their comeback was aided
by four walks, two passed balls,
and an error by Clarion.
The Golden Eagles didn't lay
down, though, and brought their
bats back out to play in the fifth

Clarion faces Mercyhurst today at 2:00 p.m. for a doubleheader at Memorial Stadium.
inning. Sophomore Chris Pfeil
started it off by singling, then
moving to second on a passed
ball. Pegher singled and Skultety
hit a sacrifice fly to bring home
Pfeil. Pegher did the rest by him-
self.
He stole third then scored on
what was ruled a passed ball, but,
could' ve been a stolen base. That
put Clarion up for good, 7-5.
The Golden Eagles pitching
was solid throughout most of the
game. Junior Bill Cook started
and went 3 2/3 innings, giving up
five runs on four hits and striking
out two.
Talik came in for the final 3 1/3
innings and picked up the win by
giving up just one hit and fanning
five.
Clarion's winning ways did not
continue into the weekend as
Slippery Rock rolled into town
and took two games from the
Golden Eagles.
The Clarion bats couldn't keep
up their run producing pace
against a very strong Rockets
pitching staff. "We lack self-con-
fidence at the plate," remarked
Herman.
As they did against Edinboro,
the Golden Eagles started the
first game off fast. Junior Chris
Lombardo singled in the first and
was driven home on a Skultety
hit.
Slippery Rock scored three
more runs in the sixth, however,
and put the game away, 5-2.
Sophomore Mark Sprickman
earned the loss for Clarion, going
5 1/3 innings and giving up four
runs on five hits.
The Rocket pitchers dominated
Clarion in the second game, giv-
ing up only four hits and striking
out ten en route to a 7-0 win.
Getting the loss for the Golden
Eagles was senior Jason Knight.
He pitched four innings, giving
up seven runs on five hits while
whiffing two. Freshman Chris
Draxinger finished the final three
innings, giving up five hits and
striking out two.
With two of his big hitters out
with injuries, lack of bat produc-
tion is a big concern for Coach
Herman. "With (Chad)
Chlebowski and (Ryan) Keenen
out, it's a real chink in the middle
of our line."
Picking up the slack has been
left fielder/first baseman
McCombs.
He has been a rock in the mid-
dle of the order, batting .338 and
driving in 17 runs. Herman has
also been impressed with the play
of shortstop Phil Pegher.
Batting out of the nine spot, he
is hitting .300 and is a perfect 10-
10 in stolen bases.
Lady Golden Eagles ready for Edinboro
By Ben Keen
Assistant Sports Editor
It was the bottom of the ninth,
the bases were loaded and there
were two outs.
With Clarion's Softball team
losing to Lock Haven 3-1, they
sent their clean-up hitter to the
plate looking to bite into the two
run Lock Haven lead when sud-
denly the game was called
because of rain.
This was not the first time this
season one of their games has
been called due to rain, but it typ-
ified how this season has gone
for the Clarion Softball team, get-
ting so close but coming up just a
little short.
"We were playing so well as a
team, the loss to Lock Haven
really hurts." commented head
coach Gerri Condo.
The Clarion softball team has
compiled a 5-16 overall record
this spring and they are 1-9 in the
PSAC, but seven of those losses
have been by two runs or less.
First year head Coach Gerri
Condo said, "This team is a lot
better than their record indicates.
We are hitting the ball well, our
pitching is good, our defense is
great, we just can't seem to get
any breaks."
Led by Rose Wilson and
Stephanie Hoffman (both hitting
over .400) the softball team is
looking to get back on track and
continues to practice hard every
day.
The Lady Eagles begin a five
game home stint starting
Wednesday and must win all of
these games in order to keep their
playoff hopes alive.
They will face Slippery Rock,
Edinboro, Indiana, and have two
make-up games in between.
"These are all going to be tough
games and we are looking for a
little revenge. They don't take us
lightly either, they give us a lot of
respect." said Condo.
The Lady Eagles are looking to
get their season back on track
with these home games. "We are
a good team. We beat
Westminster 2-0 and that was
their only loss all season," com-
mented Condo.
With clear and sunny skies
heading our way, it will hopeful-
ly lift the clouds and rain off the
Clarion softball team and they,
like the sun, will get their
deserved chance to shine.
The Lady Golden Eagles next
swing in to action Saturday, April
20th at Memorial Stadium.
The doubleheader starts at 1:00
p.m. The following Tuesday, the
Lady Indians of Indiana travel to
Clarion for a 3:00 p.m. double-
header.
The final home game is
Saturday, April 27th against Lock
Haven.

The Penalty Box and the Stanley Cup
By Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
Hello and welcome back to the
Penalty Box, where referee vio-
lence is legal and encouraged.
THE SECOND SEASON
Well the NHL playoffs are finally
here and if you are a Penguin fan,
you can't be happy with how the
Pens ended the regular season.
To make matters worse, they
have to play the Capitals once
again in the first round. This is
bad news! The Pens have strug-
gled in the past with them, and
will struggle this year with them
also. The Capital fans will know
this as well, so it is important
that they win as many games at
home as they can. The Pens are
listed as 4-1 odds to win the cup,
the best of any Eastern
Conference team, but if you
know your hockey you know that
the Eastern Conference is up for
grabs.
On the Western front, you
would have to be crazy to think
that the Red Wings won't buzz-
saw through the playoffs. The
experience of losing last years
finals has made them a focused
bunch. Winning 62 games does-
n't mean anything to them.
A great Stanley Cup final would
be the Wings and Pens because

Golden Eagle track teams rolling
By Chris Pfeil
Sports Writer
I^ast year when Pat Mooney
took over the Men's and
Women's Track teams, he knew it
would take some time to rebuild
the two programs, which were in
downward spins. The Golden
Eagles had a disappointing year
last year, but are starting to show
signs of life this season. Coach
Mooney said, "We started our
rebuilding process last year with
a great group of freshman. I see
a great deal of improvement this
year." The program has made
great strides from last year.
Mooney added, "I feel that we
are still two years away from
becoming a powerhouse in the
PSAC, but you never can tell."
Clarion traveled to the
University of Pittsburgh on
Sunday for the annual Pitt
Relays. The Golden Eagles faced
a difficult challenge in competing
against Division I programs.
Coach Mooney was pleased with
the experience. "The Pitt Relays
are big because of the high cal-
iber of teams we were competing
against." However, the coach
was not satisfied. "We didn't win
any events, but we did have a
second place finish and a number
of fifth and sixth," he said.
Two members of the men's
team stood out at the relays.
Scott Rafner finished sixth in the
3000 Steeplechase with a time of
9:53.9 and Steve Wollery pole
vaulted 13"6' to pick up fourth
place.
The women's team had a strong
showing in the Sprint Medley
Relay and the 4x400 Relay. The
Sprint Medley Team, comprised
of Danielle Kifer, Jackie Wolbert,
Sarah Lutz, and Debbie
Brostmeyer, finished in second
place with a time of 4:33.33. The
4x400 relay team of Kifer, Lutz,
Brostmeyer, and the lone senior
on the team Lynn Baluh picked
up fourth place with a time of
4:25.59.
The women also had a very
strong individual effort from
freshman standout Lori Danda.
Danda finished second in the dis-
cus with a throw of 39.64 meters.
The Golden Eagles are looking
ahead to PSAC's, which will be
hosted by Kutztown in three
weeks. Coach Mooney is opti-
mistic. "Each week I see an
CO
"Go ahead, friend. Change it. Change it again and
again. There is no baseball — just figure skating.
All 274 stinking channels."

solid chance to make a move at
PSAC's."
As for Nationals, Coach
Mooney believes Clarion has
three hopefuls this year. Junior
Thorn Swenson in the 100, 200,
and 400, Sophomore Mark
McConnel in the high jump, and
Danda in the discus. According
to Mooney, "All three have a
chance if they keep improving.
I'd like to see at least one of them
make it, I feel it would be a big
boost to our program."

Clarion University sprinter
Thorn Swenson was honored yes-
terday by the PSAC for his per-
formances at the Clarion Pre-
Easier Open. The junior co-cap-
tain fini:hed first in two events
and had two second place finish-
es, breaking a 25 year-old record
in the 100 meter da:h.
From North Irwin, PA, and
Norwin High School, Svenson
broke Jessie Jones' mark of 10.65
(1970) in the 100 by running an
explosive 10.55 in winning the
event on April 3. Swenson also
competed in the 200 meter dash,
4 x 100 meter and 4 x 400 meter
relays. Thorn won the 200 meter
dash, by running 21.75, beating
the second place finisher by near-
ly a second. He also ran legs in
the second place finishes of both
relays. Clarion's 4 x 100 relay
team ran a time of 43.95 and it's
4 x 400 relay team ran a time of
3:39.70.
Thorn has the best time in the
PSAC this year in the 200 meter
and the second best time in the
100 meter. Clarion's 4 x 100 and
4 x 400 relay teams have the
sixth and eighth best PSAC
times, respectively.
"I am very proud of the accom-
plishments that Thorn has earned
here at Clarion,"praised second-
year head coach Pat Mooney. He
has really worked hard to
improve his times, and it is defi-
nitely paying off. He is very
deserving of this honor, and I am
really happy for him."
Swenson came from Norwin
High School and coach Bill Bair,
where he also excelled in track.
Lettering two years (1992-93) at
Norwin, Thorn was a four event
athlete and seven-time medal
winner in the WPIAL. He gradu-
ated in 1993, and came to Clarion
where he has lettered both his
freshman and sophomore years.
Thorn finished fifth at last year's
PSAC Championship in the 200
meter dash, running a time of
22.20.
An Elementary Education
major, Thorn is a member of
Student Senate and Intervarsity
Christian Fellowship. Thorn is
the son of Bob and Carol
Swenson of North Irwin.

Cox and Swenson elected president vice president
New Student Senate to take office for 96-97 year
by Matt Geesey
News Editor
A new Student Senate and
slate of officers has been decided
for the 1996-97 school year.
Voting took place on April 17,
18 & 19 at Chandler Dining
Hall, Carlson Library and
Gemmell Student Complex
during various times.
The election had 593 votes
submitted by the Clarion
University student body. This
percentage represents
approximately 14% of the
student population. This is an
increase in voter turnout from
last year.
All four incumbent student
senators were reelected for
another term. They are Delphine
Djossou who was elected with
230 votes; Michael Cox, 204
votes; Thomas Swenson, 204
votes; and Stacy Henninger, 124
votes. The rest of the student
senators are Wayne Fletcher, 219
votes; Nicole Roth, 208 votes;
Carl Leonard, 182 votes;
Michael Forney, 163 votes; Dave
Lytle, 163 votes; Trade Mathis,
156 votes; Phil Pegher, 149
votes; Scott Shelander, 145
votes; Terry Stoops, 134 votes;
Thomas Brady, 132 votes; Ryan
Winkleblech, 131 votes; Chris
Lombardo, 130 votes; Nicole
DeFrank, 129 votes; Kelly
Gould, 128 votes; Lori Dando,
123 votes; and Heather Hosford,
122 votes.
The five alternates selected in
the order by the most votes are
Will Caugherty, Rosemarie
Wilson, Rebecca Selleck, Tyler
Palisin, and Christine Tillotson.
The new Student Senate
officially began their terms at the
Senate meeting held on April 21.
The Senators took the oath of
office and filled out information
to be used for various
committees and subcommittees
for next year. Next week will be
the last Student Senate meeting
of the spring semester.
In addition, a new slate of
Student Senate officers were
selected at Monday night's
meeting. Nominated for
President were Senators
Jeff Levkulich/Clarion Call
Vice president, Thomas Swenson and president, Michael Cox accept the Student Senate gavel from
former vice president, Becki Jones.
Delphine Djossou and Michael secret vote was taken by the
Cox. The nominees for Vice-
President were Senators Stacey
Henninger and Thomas
Swenson. Nominated for
Treasurer were Senators Tracie
Mathis, Scott Shelander, and
Terry Stoops.
Each nominee was given time
to address the Senate and a
U
current Senate to elect the new
officers. The new officers for
1996-97 are Cox, President;
Swenson, Vice-President; and
Mathis, Treasurer.
Cox, newly elected Senate
president and former chairperson
of the Senate committee on
elections, feels the new group of
Student senators is a " ...very
good group to work with. We
plan to have more work to do
next year with projects
included." When asked about the
ovrall electionn, Cox stated, "We
should have had a better voter
turn-out even though there was
an evident increase from last
year's election."
Take Back the Night" rally held
by Christy Sanzari
News Writer
On April 19, a 'Take Back the
Night" march and rally was held
in Clarion. The evening's
program was sponsored by
PASSAGES, Inc., which was
formerly the Rape Crisis Center,
in coordination with Sexual
Assault Awareness Month.
Approximately 100 people
participated in the march which
began outside of the Gemmell
Student Complex. The march
proceeded west on Main Street
and culminated with a rally on
the front steps of the Clarion
County Courthouse.
Participants in the march
included many community
members and university
students. "I think it's a
worthwhile cause to show people
domestic violence is a big
offense and that it needs to be
addressed now and not later,"
stated CU student Kamilli Bey.
Sally Minich, a Clarion County
Commissioner, read an official
proclamation at the rally which
named April Sexual Assault
Awareness Month in Clarion
County. The keynote address
was delivered by Delilah
Rumberg, of York, PA. Rumberg
is the Executive Director of the
Pennsylvania Coalition Against
Rape. She has been working
with women's issues since the
mid-1980's. In addition to
serving as executive director,
Rumberg serves on several
committees including the PA
STOP Violence Against Women
Planning Committee, the PA
Department of Corrections
Victim Services Advisory
Committee, and the PA
Department of Aging Advisory
Committee.
Music was provided by vocal
soloist Debbie Yoxtheimer.
Yoxtheimer writes and composes
music about victims who have
been sexually assaulted.
A candlelight service was also
included in the rally. Candles
were lit in memory and in honor
of the victims and survivors of
sexual assault.
A survivor quilt was displayed
for the public to view. The quilt
blocks were started two years
ago by sexual violence survivors
to express their emotions and
feelings. Vicki Hillbom, director
of Retirees and Senior Volunteer
Program presented the quilt. It
was quilted by volunteer
Geraldine Wachob.
This is the fifth year that
PASSAGES, Inc. has sponsored
the "Take Back the Night" march
and rally. Lou Ann Williams of
PASSAGES, Inc. feels they had
more support this year than in
the past.
"I am thrilled with the support
from the university. It is
important for both the college
and the community to work
together to end sexual violence,"
says Williams.
According to Williams, sexual
assault occurs everywhere. It
occurs in the home, workplace,
schools, and even doctors'
offices. It affects everyone in the

OPINION
Editorial
Kevin
Miko
Professor, killer, genius, fugitive,
terrorist, all describe the man who
had eluded and made a mockery of
the FBI for nearly two decades.
The man known as Theodore
John Kaczynski, the suspect in the
mail bombings that killed three
people and injured 23 others, was
arrested in Montana on possession
of an unregistered firearm.
Forget about the physical features
associated with Theodore
Kaczynski, because being at col-
lege I have seen many professor's
who look like they have never held
a comb or a razor.
This man was accepted to
Harvard at 16, a regular Doogie
Howser. A man who went on to
teach at the University of
California, Berkeley; a place for
the cream of the crop.
The lucky students who had
Kaczynski expressed their views
on the sometimes meaningless stu-
dent evaluation forms by saying his
lectures were "useless and right
from the book." Does that sound
familiar?
This man has opened a new chap-
ter in the book of crime. A serial
killer with a brain who was fed up
with modern life and technology,
sought refuge in a 10 by 12 foot
wooden cabin. (Although if you
ever lived in the dorms you know
how that feels.)
However intelligent the
unabomber may be, he made one
major mistake; he published a
35,000 word manifesto, or what I
call, a psycho's view on life that
led the bewildered FBI to suspect
Theodore Kaczynski.
Who's to blame? Did society fail
Theodore Kaczynski? Everyone
including Kaczynski will be forced
into the future. Time and technolo-
gy will stop for no one. Was his
family to blame?
He was a loner, had very few
friends, and always kept to himself.
His father committed suicide by
shooting himself with .22 caliber
rifle, but Theodore never made it
home. In the end, it was his own
brother who turned Theodore over
to the FBI.
Was Theodore himself to blame?
He is a man that has the intelli-
gence to be very successful but
couldn't help being an outcast of
society. There are many questions
and very few answers about the
unabomber suspect.
The only one who can answer
these questions is Theodore him-
self.
How many more educated killers
will we see in the future? Only
time will tell, who knows, the pro-
fessor in front of you might be the
next Theodore Kaczynski.

Alpha Sigma Tau sorority has
passed down an oral history
amongst its members since its
national founding in 1899 in
Ypsilanti, Michigan. Each semes-
ter here at Clarion, we as sisters,
pass down our traditions each
time we have a new pledge class.
I believe the most important cus-
toms of our sorority have been
passed down through repetition,
ceremonies, and most important-
ly, by the older sisters who are
the strength of Alpha Sigma Tau.
These sisters are the leaders,
and they are most respected for
the time and effort they have put
into the sorority. It is from them
that our traditions are passed
down. These traditions are often
secret, although most of what we
do can be told to others. Most do
not know about sororities

because people who are not
Greek will not understand our
traditions, or others do not care.
Some see sororities and fraterni-
ties simply as places to party, but
I disagree. Greek life promotes a
bond that can only be shared
completely by the members of
your the group, but I feel that it is
important for others to know how
special my sorority is to me. Each
time I step into our house, I can
see the history. From the compos-
ites (pictures of the sorority
members) on the walls, to the
numerous paddles that individu-
ally represent a very special per-
son who had been there before.
Many traditions are specifical-
ly for alumnae who come back
frequently and are a major part of
the sisterhood. Each fall before
the Homecoming parade, all sis-
ters meet in front of the Tavern.
This way, all alumnae who come
back to visit will know exactly
where their sisters are, even if
they have been gone for years.
The annual summer picnic is
also an example of alumnae tra-
ditions. Older sisters who gradu-
ated years ago come back with
their husbands to see how the
sorority is operating, and they tell
stories of their times here at
Clarion. At the last picnic the
alumnae left their husbands and
gathered all of the current sisters.
They then taught them old songs
that had somehow been lost over
time.
There is a great emphasis on
families, and your Big sister is
one of your most important peo-
ple in the sorority to you. Some
families even have their own spe-
cial traditions, in my own sorori-
ty family, I have seen many tradi-
tions. Most of mine have been
passed down by my Big who
graduated and passed down to me
all of her special treasures in the
sorority. I was given a picture
frame which, when I take a little
sister, I will give her. In these
frames are all the members of my
family for years, and each time it
gets passed down, we add a pic-
ture of ourselves. I hope to come
back and see my own picture in
the frame; it will help me remem-
ber my college friends.
Certain objects can look so
meaningless to some people, but
sisters see them differently. We
still use the first Bible our chap-
ter received in 1966, when we
were founded locally. That Bible
has been used in every ceremony
since then, and every member of
Alpha Sigma Tau has placed their
hand on that Bible, as we have
taken our most solemn oaths.
These traditions are very impor-
tant to Alpha Sigma Tau, and so
are the people who keep it going
from year to year. I would like to
pass down to my reader a few
words from our most important
poem, A Portrait of a Tau: "She
can be so much and yet so little,
but when she accepts a rose, the
ribbons, the lavaliere and a
pin.. .she's an angel, a princess,
your sister, a Tau!" These lines
explain why Alpha Sigma Tau is
special to me and to all of my sis-
ters.

READER RESPONSES
Communication Major angry at inability to obtain camera
Dear Editor,
I am a Communication major
and I am very active in school. I
pay at least five thousand dollars
a year just like many readers.
Now, you might be asking, is
this another letter about tuition:
No. It is about me being a
communication major, or, for the
main matter, a person who pays
tuition. Here is my story.
I went down to Becker Hall to
sign out a video camera. The
engineer, Larry Elkin, was there.
I asked, "Can I sign out a
camera." Before I knew it, I was
asked all these questions. "What
for and what teacher," said Mr.
Elkin. The reason I needed the
camera was to videotape a
speech going on in Hart Chapel.
My friend, who was a member of
the class, asked me, since I was a
Comm. major, if I could sign out
a camera for him and videotape
it. I said "Sure, no problem."
Now I didn't know what class it
was for, or the teacher, but I
knew it was important. So I told
him it was for a Movies Studies
class. He told me that it was not
a Communication class, and if I
wanted a camera, I was going to
need the teacher's signature.
Well, I really wasn't sure, so I
left to ask a professor to sign me
out one. Unfortunately, all of
them were out of town or gone
for the day. So I had to ask one
of my friends to sign me out a
camera. This really infuriated
me. To think I had to waste all

that time, in fact I missed 20
minutes of the speaker. I taped
the speaker and afterwards I saw
President Reinhard. I told her the
situation, and she agreed that the
university wanted the speaker to
be taped. She told me to talk to
Dean Flaningam, and if she
didn't do anything, that she
would. Thank you President
Reinhard, I am just glad to know
I have your backing.
One thing I don't understand
out of this whole thing is, why I
couldn't get a camera. If there is
a camera to give out, then I
should have the right to sign it
out. That is what my tuition
money goes for. Now this is not
the first time I have had to deal
with Mr. Elkin. Even if a non-
Comm. major would like to sign
out a camera, they should have
that right. Just because I am not
an Education Major, doesn't
mean I can't go and use the
computer lab in Stevens. It is the
same way with the camera. Then
Mr. Elkin laughs at you because
he isn't giving you a camera, like
he is the camera god. Well Mr.
Elkjn, you are not the camera
god, you are an employee of the
university; the parents of the
children you give cameras out to
pay your salary.
Do you like that cozy job of
yours? I'm sure you do, sooner
or later you are going to piss off
enough people to lose it. I know
I am not the only person who has
gone through this torture. I think
I am the only person to say
something about it.
Sincerely,
Jeff Levkulich
Biblical books show a complete ignorance of Mosaic stipulations
Dear Editor,
By promoting the Ten
Commandments the Tennessee
legislature is 190 years behind
the times of biblical scholarship.
W.M.L. De Wette observed in
1806 that the laws, which
according to the Pentateuch God
promulgated through Moses,
appear to be unknown in later
history recorded in Judges .
Samuel and most of Kings.
Those books show a complete
ignorance of Mosaic stipulations.
There is no suggestion that
Yahweh is to be worshiped only
at one central sanctuary, no
precise regulations about how
sacrifices are to be offered, and
no established priesthood to
regulate worship. Chronicles
expands Samuel and Kings so as
to include laws conspicuously
absent in them and contrary to
the behavior of early Hebrew
monarchs. De Wette argues that
the laws were framed after, and
as a corrective to, the ungodly
behavior of the early kings.
Kings only makes occasional
reference to Mosaic laws until it
tells of the discovery of the
"book of law" in the reign of
Josiah in 621 B.C.E., 400 years
Circumcision has developed into routine
after David (2 King s 22).
Josiah's knowledge of the book
represented an entirely new
departure in the religious life of
Israel. Josiah commanded the
keeping of passover (23:21 ff.)
which hitherto had not been
observed. De Wette suggests
accordingly that a written book
of law may not have existed
before Josiah, in whose reign it
was, according to King s,
discovered. Even Jeremiah, who
was active after the discovery,
deemed the law book of little
account and repudiated its
authority (Jeremiah 7:22). The
inconsistency between the
starting point of Israeli history,
as stated in the opening books of
the Bible , and that history itself
suggests that the book of laws
may have been a priestly
fabrication introduced long after
Israel's Golden Age under David
and Solomon.
Jim Senyszyn, North Carolina
Circumcision, the surgical
removal of the foreskin of the
penis, developed into a routine
practice in the U.S. in the
twentieth century.
The U.S. is the only Western
nation to practice routine, non-
religious infant circumcision,
where roughly 55 percent of
baby boys are still forced to
undergo this painful surgery,
done usually without anesthesia
and always without the infant's
consent. Worldwide, 85 percent
of males are NOT circumcised.
In 1971 and 1975 the
American Academy of Pediatrics
concluded that there are "no
valid medical indications for
circumcision" of the newborn.
In 1978 the American College
of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists endorsed this
position, as has the American
Academy of Family Physicians,
the College of Pediatric
Urologists, and the Canadian
Pediatric Society. Thomas J.
Ritter, M.D., in his book
Circumcision! (Hourglass Book
Publishing, 1992), details forty
compelling reasons why
circumcision is not in a child's
best interest.
Routine circumcision adds
$240 million/year needlessly to
burgeoning medical costs, and it
is not risk-free. The
complications are numerous, and
can be tragic!
Circumcision also causes a loss
of some sexual sensations and
friction. For the uncircumcised
male and his female partner, the
foreskin enhances sexual
pleasure. Some men who were
circumcised as infants and wish
they had been left intact have
undergone surgical and non-
surgical foreskin restoration
techniques.
The book The Jov of
Uncircumcising: Restore Your
Birthright and Maximize Sexual
Pleasure by Jim Bigelow, Ph.D.
(Hourglass Book Publishing,
1992) describes these
techniques, and can be ordered at
most bookstores. The best
solution ultimately, however, is
to NOT circumcise infants in the
first place!
Whereas millions of males in
this country are subject to genital
mutilation by routine infant
circumcision, millions of
females in Africa, parts of Asia,
and many Islamic countries are
subject to genital mutilation by
female circumcision, excision,
and infibulation.
Procedures run the gamut from
removing only the clitoris or
clitoral hood to removal of a
major portion of the vulva and
closing of the vagina, with only a
small opening left to permit
passage of urine and menstrual
blood.

Gas company sues contractor
Peoples Natural Gas Co. has sued a contractor for hiring a meter
reader who later was accused of raping a gas customer inside her
home. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Westmoreland County
Common Pleas Court, says Bermex Inc. breached its contract by
failing to conduct required background checks on eight meter
readers, including the one accused of the rape. Peoples fired
Bermex on March 21; two days after John Thomas Cramer, 26, of
Vandergrift was arrested. Prosecutors say a woman in Penn Hills,
about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh, let Cramer into her house, and he
later awoke her by walking into her bedroom as she slept. He
ripped off her clothes, raped her on the floor and made her write, "I
consented to sex," on a piece of paper, prosecutors say.
MOVE survivor's lawsuit
goes to trial
The only adult to survive the city's 1985 bomb- walking of the
MOVE rowhouse stood and bared her left aim and leg in court
Tuesday so jurors could see burn scars from the fire that almost
killed her. Ramona Africa's demonstration came during opening
statements in her long-delayed lawsuit against the city and two
former officials over the bombing and fire that killed 11 members
of the radical, back-to-nature group and destroyed 61 homes.
Africa, who escaped from the burning MOVE home along with a
13-year-old boy, says the city and its top officials used excessive
force and violated her constitutional rights when dropping a bomb
from a helicopter onto the roof.
Gay man fired by
college settles lawsuit
Penn State University has settled a lawsuit with a gay man who
claimed the school fired him for pointing out discriminatory hiring
practices and trying to organize programs for homosexuals.
Chester County Common Pleas Judge Robert J. Shenkin sealed
the ruling and the amount of the settlement was not released, but
Andrew Winters, who was fired by Penn State in 1987, said he was
pleased with the result.
Winters worked for Penn State's office of Campus Life from 1984
to 1987. When he revealed he was gay and started to organize
groups for homosexuals on campus, his supervisors began plotting
to have him fired, he said.
Nonsmokers widely exposed to
nicotine
Secondhand tobacco smoke invades the lungs of about 88 percent
of America's nonsmokers, despite the declining use of tobacco and
increased efforts to set aside smoke-free zones in restaurants and
offices, a study released Tuesday says. Blood samples from 10,642
people, ages four and over, indicated there is almost universal
exposure to tobacco smoke, even among people who do not smoke
nor work or live around people who do, according to the federal
survey. "These were unexpected findings," said Dr. James L. Pirkie,
head of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention team that
compiled the study.

was worthwhile. Those trials and
tribulations of studying, wriUng, and
deciphering abstract and concrete
ideas from textbooks for hours seem
amusing, now, although they were
not amusing then.
This alone was a bonus in my
academic endeavors at Clarion
University. In addition to my studies,
I have also learned to stick with it,
get with it, be on time, and meet the
deadline.
In addition, the many different
people I have met at Clarion
University have helped in making
my university experience a more
pleasant one. I have discovered that
becoming acquainted with a variety
of different people with varying
backgrounds and personalities helps
to broaden one's perspective of the
world.
I'm not only talking about the
group of friends you see on a regular
basis but also those individuals you
meet in class or may work with in a
group. Clarion University has also
helped me in learning how to work
with others toward a common
purpose of finding solutions to
various problems. These various
problems have taken place in the
classroom, school newspaper, and
university radio station. The people I
have come in contact with during
my college career, for the most part,
have had a positive influence on me
and my life.
Another great aspect of attending
Clarion University is various
academic and social opportunities
available to students. One important
lesson taught to me early in college
was just how important it is to
balance your academic life along
with your social life. I know this can
be difficult at times since I spent a
few semesters more concerned with
my course work than with anything
else. However, Clarion University's
wide range of activities that include
sporting events, plays, musicals, and
art shows helped me in experiencing
many other areas of life.
I have also appreciated the many
activities offered here at Clarion
University. These organizations and
clubs indeed help in giving students
further knowledge and training in
regard to their chosen job field and
help in building their resume. As an
upcoming graduate in the field of
communication, I had the
opportunity and privilege to be
involved in two media organizations
on campus; The Clarion Call and
91.7WCUCFM.
My involvement in these
organizations has given me a better
understanding of what employers are
looking for in a communication
professional in both the print and
broadcast media. One fond memory
I will always have about Clarion
University is the opportunity to
work at the university radio station. I
feel it has helped in building my
confidence in speaking to the world
on die radio. I have also realized that
broadcasting is the career most
suitable for me.
The sense of pride and
accomplishment I now feel, may
have been lost if I had not attended
Clarion University. Through the
continuous challenges given to me
by the Clarion University faculty, I
have a greater sense of my own
strengths and abilities. These will be
invaluable in the further pursuit of
my chosen career of radio
broadcasting so thank you very
much. I would especially like to,
thank Dr. Allen Larson who taught
me what broadcasting was all about
and Dr. Donna Ashcraft, who made
Social Psychology very interesting,
and gave useful information on
dealing with and looking at life.
Finally, Mr. Leonard Pfaff whose
course was an educational
experience in and of itself. I really
enjoyed it and wish him well in his
retirement.
The faculty at Clarion University
are only a small portion of all the
individuals I would like to thank
and give special recognition to upon
my graduation from college. I would
like to mention a few outstanding
people, though, who have given my
life special meaning.
I apologize if your name is
omitted, although that does not mean
you have not enhanced my life in
some way. I especially thank God
for blessing me with intelligence,
wisdom, and the talents to
successfully complete many years of
study and hard work. I thank my
parents for all the sacrifices they
have made for me. I always try and
give them the respect they so
rightfully deserve. I thank Kristi
Kelly whose positive disposition
about life serves as a source of
inspiration to me. Our friendship is
one I will always treasure. I would
also like to thank Kevin Miko,
whom I consider my best friend at
Clarion University, and in my life. I
will always feel a sense of pride
remembering the times we have had.
Lastly, I want to thank Drew
Dershimer for giving me the
opportunity to work on WCUC and
helping me at the station when I
needed it.
I feel that I have become a more
knowledgeable and well-rounded
individual thanks to Clarion
University of Pennsylvania. I will
tell you, on Saturday, May 11, 1996
I will be celebrating the most
successful day of my life
comparable to my high school
graduation. I do not know what the
future has in store for me, but I do
know the exhilaration, relief, and
appreciation I am now feeling will
follow me as I enter the "real
world." I have indeed come away a
better person for having attended
Clarion University. I wish all my
friends and acquaintances here the
best of luck and success in the
future.

Pitt Pledge in critical condition
after hazing incident
Courtesy of
College Press Service
A University of Pittsburgh
student has been placed on a
kidney-dialysis machine after he
was severely beaten during a
fraternity hazing incident, say
police.
Santana Kenner-Henderson. a
20-year-old pledge of Kappa
Alpha Psi fraternity, remains in
critical condition a week after
the incident. Another student,
Byron Woodson, 18, also was
beaten but treated and released
from an area hospital.
Five members of the fraternity
have been arrested and charged
with aggravated assault, reckless
endangerment and conspiracy in
connection with the case, police
said. They are Timothy Jones, a
Pitt student: Iman Jones, a Pitt
graduate; and Eric Cofield,
Milton Robinson and Dayman
Williams, all former Pitt students
not currently enrolled at the
university.
Timothy Jones, who is not
related to Iman Jones, has been
suspended from the university.
The incident allegedly
happened at an off-campus
location when the two students
were being initiated into the
Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.
Apparently . . . they were beaten
with wooden canes or rods of
some sort for an hour," said Ken
Service, a university
spokesperson.
Two other men, possibly
fraternity members, are being
sought in connection with the
incident, Service said. The
university is conducting an on-
going joint investigation with the
Pittsburgh Police Department.
The nine-member fraternity,
which does not have an on-
campus house, 'was suspended
as soon as the university found
out about the incident," Service
said.
After the investigation is
completed, the university will
hold a judicial hearing for
fraternity members.

Sexual Assault Forum held addressing opinions of men
by Matt Geesey
News Editor
A public forum was held on
April 22 at 4:00 p.m. in Hart
Chapel. The topic of the forum
was "Men Speak Out About
Sexual Assault".
The forum consisted of a ques-
tion and answer session directed
towards a panel of seven men
from a variety of expertise.
The men on the panel included
Dr. Randy Rice, director of
Keeling Health Center; Dr.
Ronald Martinazzi, director of
Public Safety; Eric Shaffer, chief
of Clarion Borough Police; Dr.
Herbert Bolland, chairman of
Counseling Servics at Clarion
University, Mr. Thaddeus
Bartkowiak, Financial Aid; and
two Clarion University students,
Kerkai Senwah and Chris Davis.
The forum was moderated by
Angela Graham, vice-president
of Students Together Against
Rape (STAR) and Dr. Chris
Ferry, a professor in the English
department who was there repre-
senting the Clarion Sexual
Assault Network.
The forum was attended by
approximately 45 people consist-
ing of students, professors, and
community members. The audi-
ence was also predominately
female.
At the beginning of the presen-
tation, Martinazzi introduced the
three female Public Safety offi-
cers here at Clarion University.
They are Officer Sandra
McCleary, Officer Heather
Thrush, and Officer Marsha
Yanchi.
Martinazzi originally explained
at an earlier forum that was held
that female victims would feel
safer talking to a female police
officer about a sexual assault
incident.
During the hour long forum,
several questions were discussed
by the audience and the panel.
Most of the questions dealt with
why most men don't take part in
prevention of sexual assault and
why women don't report inci-
dents of sexual assault as soon as
it occurs or not at all.
An emphasis was also placed on
the topic of the various kinds of
sexual assault and how muct
they actually have to do with^ex
at all.
Some members of the kmel
expressed personal experiences
that they had with incidents \f

A sexual assault forum was held in Hart Chapel on April 21
discussing the topic "Men Speak Out About Sexual
Assault". The panel consisted of several university employ-
ees, a community member, and two male students. The
forum ran as a question and answer session.
sexual assaults and many Some of the topics that are cov-
explained the reason of why men
don't participate more in preven-
tion is that men are not victim-
ized as much as women.
Several handouts were distrib-
uted about the prevention of sex-
ual assault for women and men.
ered are date battering, a
woman's rights in a relationship,
and various communication skills
in a relationship.
Several safety plans were out-
lined for women to protect them-
selves from becoming a victim of
sexual assault.
Women should always have
access to a telephone, should
know someone who could drive
them home from the location
where they are at, and when they
are out on a date, should pay for
themselves.
Several guidelines were also
emphasized for problem solving
in a relationship so it doesn't lead
to violence.
Various points are listening to
your partner, not using the "silent
treatment", avoiding name call-
ing, and never deliberately
embarassing each other in public
by arguing.
Most of the participants in the
forum expressed their concerns
about the attitudes of men
towards prevention of sexual
assault but most were very
pleased of the impact that the
forum would make on the com-
munity at large.
Former Clarion University student charged
by Clarion Call News Staff
A former Clarion University
student has been charged with
raping a woman in a residence
hall on the Clarion University
campus. The acquaintance rape
took place on February 23 in
Ballentine Hall.
An arrest warrant alleging
felony counts of rape and sexual
assault has been issued for James
Lee Tucker, 25, of Port
Allegheny. Ron Wilshire,
University Relations, said on
Monday, "He withdrew from
classes on April 16."
The case is one of the four
alleged, unrelated rapes that has
been linked to Clarion University
this year. A sudden concern in the
random incidents occurred after a
television station from
Pittsburgh, WPXI-TV Channel
11, aired a story on the rapes on
March 12.
The newscast reported the
number of alleged rapes was
higher than what is usually
reported at the university.
"Of the four cases, three of the
four were on campus," Wilshire
said. "This was the only case
where the victim wanted to pur-
sue charges."
Wilshire said the woman iden-
tified an alleged assailant, and
Public Safety officers investigat-
ed the incident.
According to court documents
filed by campus police Sgt. Mark
Humes at Clarion District Court,
the victim said she attended sev-
eral parties the evening of
February 22.
She said she and Tucker had
stopped by his room, where the
incident happened despite her
attempts to halt what began as
kissing, Humes reported.
In the other three cases, two
women are involved in alleged
acquaintance rape investigations
and the other incident involved a
woman who said she was assault-
ed on February 9 by a man wear-
ing a ski mask while on campus.
She doesn't wish to press charges
against her perpetrator/The
investigation is still open (in the
ski mask incident), but it has
stalled because of lack of identi-
fication," Wilshire said.
An emphasis has been placed
on the topics of sexual assault
since Clarion University has
established a record as being one
of the safest universities in the
northeastern United States.

The following is a brief synopsis of the criminal inves-
tigations conducted by Public Safety for the dates
between April 12 and April 22. The Blotter is com-
piled by Clarion Call Public Safety reporter Jason
Weaver.
•Clarion University police are investigating a theft of a cellular phone
from Lot J sometime between April 12 and April 13.
•On April 13, a student informed Public Safety officers that someone
removed the manhole cover in Lot J at some time around 2:00 a.m. The
incident is under investigation.
A visitor to Clarion University was parked in parking lot J on the cam
pus of Clarion University and had his vehicle damaged between the
times of April 13 at 7:00 p.m. and April 14 at 6:46 p.m. Anyone who
witnessed a hit and run in Lot J on April 13 or April 14 should contact
Public Safety.

the fire alarm at Nair Hall. At this time, the incident is under invest!
gation.

minor traffic violation after officers detected a strong odor of alcohol
on the driver's breath. The incident took place on April 21.
On April 21 at approximately 10:00 p.m., there was a disturbance in
the lobby of Gemmell Student Complex. Several black students caused

community.
According to the PA Coalition
Against Rape, in 1994 alone,
over 32,000 victims seeked assis-
tance at several sexual assault
centers across the state.
Out of that total, 11,000 were
adults; over 8,000 were children;
and the remaining numbers were
friends and family members of
people affected by sexual vio-
lence.
Rumberg stated in her address
that before a child reaches the
age of 1 8, 1 in every 4 girls and 1
in every 7 boys are sexually
assaulted.
Rumberg also noted that 1 in
every 4 college students has been
sexually assaulted.
According to the National
Victims' Center, 1.3 forcible
rapes occur each minute.
u If we want to see a change, it
is up to each one of us," says
Rumberg. "The support of the
community is vital to the recov-
ery of victims. Treat them with
respect. Don't offer unsolicited
advice."
Lou Ann Williams concluded-
about the reality of sexual
assault. "If it's happening to you
or someone you know, talk about
it. If that person can't help, keep
talking to people you can trust.
The feelings won't go away if
you don't talk about it."
Many participants were moved
to action during the rally. Frank
Mikolic, a brother of Alpha Chi
Rho, stated, "The members of my
fraternity came tonight because
we wanted to show the public
that fraternities are concerned
about sexual assault and that this
is not just an issue for women."
"I'm a friend of many survivors
of sexual assault and I came
tonight to be supportive of those
I care about in hope that the vio-
lence that goes on will stop," says
Clarion University student
Andrea Straw.
Unabomber suspect apprehended by FBI
Courtesy of College Press
Service
Unabomber suspect Theodore
John Kaczynski grew up and
went to high school in the work-
ing-class Chicago suburb of
Evergreen Park, where neighbors
remember him as a brilliant little
boy, an anti-social, quiet "brain".
His dad ran a polish sausage
factory; his mom was the grade
school PTA president. One neigh-
bor recalls the 10-year-old math
whiz excitedly bringing home a
book to read on calculus.
Although his Midwest upbring-
ing was somewhat run-of-the-
mill, his academic career was
anything but ordinary.
The man now thought to have
targeted university professors
throughout a deadly, 18-year
mail-bombing spree graduated
from Harvard University with a
mathematics degree in 1962, at
the age of 20.
From there he went to the
University of Michigan at Ann
Arbor, where he earned a mas-
ter's degree in math followed by
a Ph.D. in the same subject in
1967.
He then taught for two years at
the University of California-
Berkeley leaving in 1969.
Now, nearly two decades later,
FBI officials are piecing together
Kaczynski 's movements since
abandoning academic life.
They're trying to tie the 53-year-
old eccentric former professor to
a suing of explosions that killed
three and injured 23 others.
Since the first package bomb
exploded at Northwestern
University in 1978, there have
been 15 more explosions linked
to the Unabomber, so named
because the first bombs targeted
universities and airlines.
Federal agents found
Kaczynski living in a cramped tar
paper shack with no phone, no
electricity, and no running water
in the remote hills near Lincoln,
Mont.

He was taken into custody and
charged in a Helena, Mont., court
April 4 with one count of illegal-
ly possessing a destructive
device.
Federal officials told prosecu-
tors that a search of his home had
turned up a partially completed
pipebomb, sketches of a destruc-
tive device and the powder com-
ponents to make a bomb.
Meanwhile, federal investiga-
tors continue to sift through evi-
dence gathered from his home
that might connect him with the
string of deadly mail bombings.
"We have much to do yet," said
Atty. Gen. Janet Reno at a press
conference.
FBI officials received a tip from
Kaczynski's suspicious family
members, who apparently
unearthed key evidence in the
case when preparing to move
from the suburban Chicago home
where Kaczynski grew up.
The family found papers in the
attic that were similar to writings
attributed to the Unabomber,
according to AP reports.
At campuses around the nation,
university officials expressed
relief that a Unabomber suspect
had been caught, although many
downplayed any connection their
school might have to Kaczynski.
Harvard spokesman Alex
Huppe said there was little shock
and that "nobody's weeping"
over the fact that the suspect
attended the Ivy League school.
"We have 250,000 alumni.
That's a lot of alumni," Huppe'
said. "This was just another one
of his elementary schools."
At Berkeley, where Kaczynski
was a professor, the reaction was
much the same.
"No one was surprised that
there was a Berkeley connec-
tion," said Marie Felde, a
Berkeley spokeswoman. "Two of
the bombs went off here. The FBI
has been interviewing people at
Berkeley for years. The campus
certainly thinks it's good news."
Felde said Kaczynski left the
university on his own accord in
the 1960s. She added that the uni-
versity has no theories on why he
left, and said "people don't
remember him."
Professors at Michigan, how-
even remember Kaczynski as
"meticulous," a student who
earned his Ph.D. by solving a
problem so difficult that George
Piranian, now a professor emeri-
tus, could not figure it out.
"He did not make mistakes,"
Piranian told the Chicago
Tribune. "He was very persistent
in his work. If a problem was
hard, he worked harder."

Pace quickens for Leas as Olympic Games approach
Courtesy of University
Relations
Twelve hour days are becoming
normal for Don Leas, associate
professor of health and physical
education at Clarion University
of Pennsylvania, as the 1996
Summer Olympic Games in
Atlanta, GA approach.
Leas is the competition manag-
er for diving and has spent over
a year in the preparations for the
July 19-Aug. 4 Centennial
Olympic Games. "This job is
constantly ongoing," he says.
"We are getting down to the final
small details of the competition
and the pool area."
A common work day for him
now, is arriving at 7 or 8 a.m. and
being on site until sometime
between 7 and ii p.ffi. "I 251
never alone in this office," he
says. "There are many Saturday
and Sunday meetings. There is
also a lot of individual work to
complete and constant reports to
be filed. I don't know how these
games could go on without com-
puters. I have taken several class-
es to learn new programs used by
the Olympic committee."
Leas was selected for the posi-
tion following his recommenda-
tion by U.S. Diving, the national
governing body for diving in the
United States, and FINA, the
international governing body for
aquatics. He became involved in
international diving through the
success of the Clarion University
divers he coached in the past.
Two of his divers, Barbara
Schaefer Nejman (1976
Olympics) and Chris Seufert
(1980 and 1984 Olympics, '84
Bronze Medal winner) competed
in the Olympics.
He is totally responsible for the
organization, planning, and man-
agement of the diving competi-
tion; the preparation of operation
manuals for the diving; oversaw
the construction of the new
aquatics facility at Georgia Tech
University; arranging camera
setups for television coverage;
anu the selection and training of
employees and volunteers to
work at the diving competition.
Leas is proud of the new out-
door Georgia Tech Aquatic
Center featuring an Olympic
swimming pool; a diving pool
with one meter and three meter
springboards and full tower com-
plex; an adjacent water polo
pool; and a 2,000 permanent seat,
shaded outdoor main stadium.
The facility is covered by a 115-
foot high roof, and currently

On Monday, March 25,
P.R.O.U.D. (People Reaching
Out and Understanding

Wheelchair Basketball Game
against the Edinboro Wheelchair
Basketball Team. It looked grim
for Clarion at half-time, as the
score was 22-11 in favor of
Edinboro, but 50 spectators in
attendance were able to cheer our
team on to a 29-28 victory. The
Clarion team included Tony

Brown, Mark Goodman, Jim
Harkess, Eric Anderson, and
Louis Bennetti. A special appear-

made."
Currently, Leas is working with
changes on the camera angles for
the competition, finalizing trans-
portation routes for the athletes,
and organizing the volunteers
and staff.
Leas is excited about what tele-
vision spectators will see during
the diving competition. "There
are several new camera tech-
niques proposed, and they need
to be evaluated to see if they
enhance the coverage," he says.
'They will be implemented with
the final approval of the
International Diving Federation
and myself."
The innovations include a cam-
era in a clear tube next to the plat-
form that would descend with the
diver; a camera that can move at
speeds up to 30 MPH from one
end of the natatorium to the other
and still be able to stop instantly;
and high speed underwater cam-
eras.
Planning the transportation is a
little simpler for Leas because the
divers will be housed on the cam-
pus of Georgia Tech and be with-
in walking distance of the pool.
However, he has to make sure the
officials and he and his staff
reach the site to do their jobs.
Housing is still needed for some
of the volunteers and he will be
helping them find quarters prior
to giving them training.
While Leas awaits the diving
team trials, the next heavy stage
of work he says, is keeping busy
helping with other events includ-
ing gymnastics, swimming, water
polo, synchronized swimming,
tennis, wrestling, and track.
Perhaps the easiest part of his job
will be from July 26- Aug. 2 when
the 150 divers from 25 countries
finally compete in the men's and
women's diving competitions.
"The Olympic village opens on
July 6," he says. "This gives the
athletes time to adjust to the cli-
mate and to the time zone
changes they experience."
Leas did have encouraging
words for those sail interested in
attending the Centennial
Olympic Games, despite tickets
for many of the major sports,
including the diving, already sold
out. "People should be able to
come and get tickets for other
events and probably by the time
of the games find tickets for sale
for the sold out events. I don't
think moving around in Atlanta
will be as difficult as expected.
Many of the businesses are tak-
ing vacation time during the
weeks of the games to cut down
on normal business traffic and
many buses will be brought in
from as far away as Minneapolis
to carry the speciaiorS."
For those not able to attend,
Leas urged viewing what he
knows will be a spectacular
opening ceremony. He also
reports that a internet site at
http:flwww.Adanta.01ympic.org.
has complete information on the
history of the games, events, tick-
ets, people, and the athletes
involved.
Despite all the excitement, Leas
is anticipating the end. He was on
a leave of absence during the
Spring 1995 semester and is on
sabbatical leave during the 1995-
96 university year.
"When the games are over I
will have been away from home
for over one and one-half years,"
he says. "I am anxious to return
to Clarion University."

News of the Weird by Chuck Shepard
•Recent uses of video cameras
for surreptitious taping by
alleged perverts: According to a
lawsuit filed by a 20-year-old
woman, a Reno, Nev.,
optometrist set up one in his
ladies' room (for "security" pur-
poses, he said in October);
Mineola, N.Y., landlord Mark
Pearlman was accused in
February of having a video cam-
era behind a see-through mirror
in a female tenant's bedroom (to
enforce his no-smoking policy,
he said); and IRS employee
Howard Baltazar was arrested in
March after carrying a running
video camera in a gym bag
through an Oakland, Calif.,
men's shower room. (Police
determined that Baltazar commit-
ted no crime except eavesdrop-
ping via the audio portion of the
tape.)
JUST CAN'T STOP
MYSELF
•In February, Philippe
Delandtscheer, 60, was jailed in
Lille, France, for stealing a bottle
of a certain anise-flavored aperi-
tif. Authorities believe it is the
51st time that he has been arrest-
ed for stealing that same product.
(As with Q± Campbell in Andy
Griffith's Mayberry jail, a special
cell in Lille's jail is reserved for
him.)
•Christopher Norling, 28, was
jailed in Milwaukee in February
on a charge of fraud after running
up a big bill at the Pfister Hotel
by pretending to be a National
Football League official. He has
a long record of similar charges.
In a 1990 jailhouse interview,
Norling said: "The only thing I
know how to do is con people. To
be honest with you, it's probably
going to happen again."
•James Hogue, 36, was arrested
in February as he tried again to
pass himself off as a Princeton
University student, less than five
months after his release from
prison on a charge of passing
himself off as a different
Princeton student. (In 1990, he
studied and ran on the track team
as Alexi Indris-Santana until he
was exposed by a former high-
SCiiOoi Classmate.)
•In February, Diane Currey, 45,
was sentenced to nine years in
prison after pleading guilty to
more than 200 counts of grand
theft in Largo, Fla. She had
embezzled $350,000 from a doc-
tors' office over a seven-year
period, then retired to Missouri,
where she might have escaped
detection forever. However, her
replacement in Florida died a
year later, and doctor asked
Currey to return. She agreed and
immediately began embezzling
again, but was soon caught.
INEXPLICABLE
N »In November, the U.S.
Supreme Court let stand a Florida
appeals court ruling that, while a
local police department could
purchase an allegedly obscene
film and use it as evidence in fil-
ing criminal charges, it could not
use as evidence a film it had rent-
ed and copied. The Florida court
had ruled that the police had vio-
lated federal copyright law as
described in the "FBI Warning"
that appears on rented tapes.
•In Toronto-in January, Robert
Franklin Devoe, 33, was arrested
and charged with bank robbery
after arousing the suspicion of
shopkeeper Zak Khan.
According to police, Devoe had
stopped by during his getaway to
inquire about purchasing an elec-
tronic scale. Khan showed him
one, and Devoe proceeded to
weigh two bundles of $100 bills.
That behavior, plus the gun
Devoe had in his waistband, led
Khan to notify police, and Devoe
was captured after a brief chase.
•For the second straight year, a
Canadian Football League team
wasted a valuable draft pick on a
defensive end who, unbeknownst
to the team, had died in the off-
season. The Montreal Alouettes'
James Eggink had passed away
from cancer, last year, the Ottawa
Rough Riders' Derrell Robertson
had been killed in a car crash.
In January, the Los Angeles
Times reported that an unidenti-
fied man asked Alberto Ramirez
for directions in a Chatsworth,
Calif., 7-Eleven, and after
Ramirez complied, the man
began yelling racial epithets and
throwing products from the
shelves at Ramirez. The man fol-
lowed Ramirez outside and threw
a knife at him, missing. Then,
apparently out of items -to toss,
he began throwing the money
that was in his pocket. After the
man drove off in his truck,
Ramirez and other bystanders
eventually turned over $2,333 to
the police.
•A conn fc Rochester, N.H.,
overturned the rape conviction of
Antonio Marti, 54, who had been
convicted of three counts against
a teen-age girl. There was evi-
dence that Marti had assaulted
the girl "hundreds" of times
beginning at age 10, but since he
was charged with only three
counts, the court thought that
prosecutors' mentioning the other
episodes might have prejudiced
the jury.
KIDS
•Timothy Becton, 10, was
charged as an adult with armed
kidnapping and assault on a sher-
iff's deputy in Lakeland, Fla., in
February. He aimed a shotgun at
the deputy - from a distance of 10
feet while using his 3-year-old
niece as a shield and remained in
a standoff for about seven min-
utes. Sheriff's deputies had gone
to the boy's home to inquire
about his truancies when he
pulled the gun and said, "I'd
sooner shoot you than go to
school."
•On Feb. 27 near San Diego an
11 -year-old boy who became ill
at school was sent home for the
day, but when he got home, he
shaved off all of his hair, put on a
ski mask and a brown, monk's-
type robe, assembled his father's
.22-caliber rifle, left home, and
began randomly trying to rob
people he encountered. He was
captured by a security guard who
was shot in the hand as he wrest-
ed the rifle from the boy. -
•Police in Coventry, England,
said that Russell Brown, 4, woke
up one night in February while
burglars were in his home and
mistook them for family friends.
He showed them where his moth-

Snakes on your minds by Dave Barry
A question that more and more
Americans are asking, as they
become increasingly fed up with
crime, is: What, exactly, are the
legal rights of accused snakes?
Consider the case of a snake
that recently ran afoul of the law
in Virginia. According to a story
in the Fredericksburg, Va., Free
Lance-Star, written by Keith
Epps and sent in by alert reader
Venetia Sims, this particular
snake, a four-foot Burmese
python identified only as a
Spotsylvania County snake," was
apprehended by an Alcoholic
Beverage Control agent and the
Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office in
connection with a liquor-store
robbery.
I am not, of course, suggesting
here that the police thought the
snake ROBBED the store. They
thought it drove the getaway car
No, seriously, the snake
belonged to one of the robbery
suspects, and according to the
story the poliee had received
information that the snake had
money from the robbery "stashed
inside of it."
The story doesn't say how a
person would go about stashing
money inside a snake, nor how
this person would get the money
back out. But for the record, most
financial advisors do not recom-
mend that you put your money
into snakes. Let me add, from
personal experience, that real
estate is not such a hot invest-
ment, either. Some friends and I
once put some money into a
small apartment building, and we
never did get it back out. What
we got was a constant stream of
tenant complaints, including
every conceivable kind of toilet
blockage and this is the absolute
truth - an infestation of bats that
made the local TV news.
Looking back, I think we would
have been better off with a snake.
But getting back to "a
Spotsylvania County snake":
The police took it into custody
(presumably in a handcuff) and
held it "without bail for a week,
during which time they X-rayed
it. According to the story the X-
ray "revealed something suspi-
cious inside the snake, but police
weren't sure what it was." It
turned out to be snake poop,
which and this is exactly what is
wrong with our society today, if
you want my and Pat Buchanan's
opinion is still legal in Virginia.
So the police were forced to
release the snake, although NOT
on its own recognizance. (One of
the unique things about snakes is
that they don't even HAVE a
recognizance; biologists still
have no idea how they repro-
duce.)
At this point, you are saying:
"Dave, no offense, but it is just
SO typical of media scum like
you to make a big deal about one
snake who is connected to a
liquor-store robbery, while totally
ignoring the millions of law-
abiding, taxpaying snakes, not to
mention ferrets."
You make a strong point, which
is why at this time I wish to pre-
sent an inspiring story, which I
am not making up, concerning a
courageous ferret in Morton
Grove, 111. According to an item
from the Northbrook Star, written
by Kathy Routliffe and alertly
sent in by Jane Kolebmainen,
police received an emergency
911 call from a home in Morton
Grove; upon arriving on the
scene, they broke into the home
and discovered that the call had
been made by a pet ferret named
"Bandit."
Unfortunately, this did not turn
out to be one of those heartwarm-
ing cases wherein a loyal and
quick-thinking ferret, seeing that
its master was having a heart
attack, called police 22d then
administered snout-to-mouth
resuscitation until help arrived.
This was simply a case of Bandit,
while walking around the house
alone, stepping on the telephone
speed-dial button for 911 But the
point is that there COULD have
been a medical problem, and if
there had been, Bandit would be
a hero today, perhaps even mak-
ing a personal appearance on the
"Jerry Springer" show.
Speaking of crustaceans, it's
time for a:

"Visiting Writers Series," with a
reading on April 22 .
Goldbarth was bom in Chicago
in 1948 and currently lives in
Wichita, Kansas. He is the author
of dozens of collections of poetry
from publishers large and small
including: "Heaven and Earth: A
Cosmology," which received the
National Book Critics Award; a
volume of new and selected
poems, "Across the Layers;" and
most recently "Marriage, and
Other Science Fiction."
He is also the author of two
collections of personal essays,
"A Sympathy of Souls," and
"Great Topics of the World." His
work is widely anthologized; has
appeared regularly for two
decades in a range of literary
periodicals ranging from "The
New Yorker," "Harper's," and
"The Paris Review" to indepen-
dent journals lie "Kayak" and
"Happiness Holding Tank;" and
he has received a range of awards
from a Guggenheim Fellowship
and three creative writing fellow-
ships from the National
Endowment for the Arts to the
Theodore Sturgeon Special
Award for short fiction from the
Center for the Study of Science
Fiction.
All visiting writers in this
Clarion University series were
supported by a SSHE intra-uni-
versity grant, the Clarion
University College of Arts and
Sciences, and Clarion University.
you also sent me an alarming
new item stating that researchers
at Harvard Medical School are - 1
swear I'm not making this up,
either - giving Prozac to lobsters.
The researchers say the drug
makes lobsters more docile, and
less likely to snap when fished
out of a tank at a restaurant."
The article states that the
researchers hope their work will
ultimately benefit humans. This
raises some alarming questions;
1. Are there restaurants that
keep humans in tanks?
2. Are there humans forced to
wear rubber bands on their
hands?
3. Do the restaurant owners
claim that they taste "just like
chicken?"
I think that every concerned
American should telephone fed-
eral authorities at random until
we get answers to these and other
questions.
I also think that, for the time
being, we should all be extreme-
ly cautious when we leave our
homes. Remember: "a
Spotsylvania County snake" is
out there somewhere.

For Squirrels is the closest to college rock today
by Tina Matthis
Lifestyles Writer
Released early last fall on
Epic-550 Records, "Example,
from For Squirrels, is a wonder-
ful album for a broad range of
people with different tastes. This
band has been plagued with
tragedy in the past year, with the
lead singer, drummer, and their
manager dying in an accident
while returning from a gig
last September. The two surviv-
ing members, guitarist Travis
Tooke and bassist William
White, have gotten replacements

Their more mellow songs
sound like early R.E.M., while
their harder songs can't really
be compared with anyone,
except for maybe the
Replacements. This is the clos-
est to "college rock" you're
going to get these days. You can
also hear the influences of
Buffalo Tom and a bit of Toad the
Wet Sprocket on "Example."
One of the best songs on the
album, "Mighty KC," sounds
very much like early R.E.M., and
had a video released for it last
fall. The video is a tribute to
the memory of Jake Vigliatura
(lead singer) and Thomas Griego
(drummer), and is very touching.
"Under Smithville" has a child-
like story lyrically. It is about a
boy who sends a letter to a girl he
likes, telling her to meet him on
the playground, and she doesn't
show up. The song is genuinely
kiddish and quite cute, for lack
of a better word. Some of the
other songs on "Example" are
very chaotic, like "Long Live
the King," a ska-type song.
"Example," by For Squirrels, is
a great debut album any band
would love to have recorded.
Anyone could listen to this
album, no matter what musical
preferences they have. It is an
impressive album, which makes
their unfortunate tragedy even
harder to swallow, especially
since they were so close to expe-
riencing the fame they deserved.
But hopefully the new reformed
For Squirrels will live up to
"Example" on their next album.
In the April 18th edi-
tion of the Clarion
Call, the article.
"Strike "Gold" with
Starf Iyer 59's latest
album" was credited
to Aaron Davis. The
article was written by
Lifestyles Writer, Una
Matthis.

Talik shines in relief
Golden Eagles sweep Cal; look towards Boro
By Tim Rafalski
Sports Writer
The Clarion baseball bats start-
ed out cold on Saturday but once
they woke up the balls were look-
ing for a place to hide. After
scoring only two runs in their
first game the Golden Eagles
offense pounded out 32 runs over
the next three games. Clarion
opened the weekend with two
tough losses to Lock Haven but
came back strong in a double-
header sweep of California on
Monday.
The Lock Haven pitchers kept
the host's bats quiet for most of
the first game. Clarion managed
only seven hits in a 11-2 loss.
Chad Chlebowski homered and
Scott Weir drove in the other
Golden Eagle run.
Scott Feldman picked up the
loss, pitching four innings and
giving up six runs on eight hits.
Chris Draxinger finished the final
two innings giving up five runs
on four hits.
Clarion's bats remained cold
for the first five innings of the
second game. They had only one
hit and were trailing 7-0.
When the sixth inning roiled
around the host's bats finally
woke up and came out to play.
Weir, Jeff Stanyard , and
Jeremy Young all singled to load
up the bases for Clarion's leading
RBI man, Chad McCombs.
As its been all season he
answered with a two run double
pulling Clarion within five.
Ryan Keenen walked then Don
Schmidt and Steve Franz both
reached base on consecutive
shortstop errors to move the
score 7-4.
Chad Chlebowski then
smacked a three run double to
knot the score at seven apiece.
Neither team scored in the sev-
enth and after Clarion failed to
score in their half of the eighth,
Lock Haven scored three runs on
a home run to win the game 10-
7.
Jason Knight pitched the first 5
2/3 innings, surrendering seven
runs on ten hits while striking out
four. Scott Feldman came in for
the final 1 2/3 and picked up the
loss.
Clarion's offense had no prob-
lem scoring runs against
California as a combined 25
Golden Eagles crossed the plate
in both games.
Trailing 3-2 after five innings,
Clarion exploded for ten runs in
the sixth and put the game away
12-3.
During the inning Clarion
stroked nine hits, including two
by Don Biertempfel. In all, 13
Golden Eagles reached base.
Mark Sprickman was the start-
ing pitcher for Clarion. He went
5 1/3 innings and gave up three
runs on seven hits while whiffing
five. Ron Talik came in and
pitched a perfect 1 2/3 innings to
get the win.
The Golden Eagle bats contin-
ued to roll in the second game
jumping out to a 8-1 after two
innings. The big blast was Scott
Weir's grand slam in the first
inning.
California plated five runs in
the third, part in thanks to four
walks and an error by Clarion.
Clarion scored two more in the
fourth to go ahead 10-6.
California rallied back in the
fifth, scored five runs to take an
11-10 lead. Most of those runs
were on account of a loss in con-
trol by Clarion's pitchers result-
ing in six walks.
Clarion scored one more in the
fifth on a Schmidt sacrifice to tie
the score at 11 apiece.
California managed to bring a
runner home in the seventh for
the lead but Clarion never gave
up.
"When we came off the field
everybody was still excited,
which is a good sign," stated
head coach Rich Herman.
Jeff Levkulich/Clarion Call
Clarion travels to Edinboro this Saturday.
Chris Skultety, Young, and Keenen, and Phil Pegher each
Schmidt hit consecutive singles
with the last one driving in a run
to tie the score up. After a sacri-
fice fly and a walk, Chlebowski
smacked the game-winning sin-
gle to wrap up the victory 13-12.
The big bat for the game
belonged to Schmidt, who was 4-
4 with two RBI's and two runs
scored. Skultety, Young,
added two hits.
Clarion used four pitchers in the
game,with Sprickman hurling the
final 2/3 of the final inning for
the win. Bill Cook started the
game, but was pulled after a
rough start. He gave up six runs
on four hits and five walks over 2
1/3 innings. Clarion travels to
Edinboro this Saturday.
Schattauer delivers clutch hit
Lady Golden Eagles prepare for Lock Haven
By Ben Keen
Assistant Sports Editor
The Clarion Lady Eagles soft-
ball team has had a lot of close
games this season and last
Saturday's double-header with
Edinboro was no exception. It
took Clarion 10 exciting innings
to beat Edinboro 4-3 in the first
game and they just lost a nail
biter 7-6 in the second game.
The first game was a close one
mat went into extra-innings but
behind the pitching of Sonya
Hafer and the hitting of Leslie
Schattauer the Lady Eagles were
able to steal the win.
Sonya had a very strong show-
ing in pitching all 10 innings.
When asked how she managed
to go the distance Sonya said,
"My arm felt good plus I was so
pumped up, it's great to play in a
game like mat." Indeed it was a
great game as Leslie Schattauer
delivered a triple in the bottom of
the tenth to drive in the game
winning run. "I have never seen
the team so fired up before," said
head coach Gerri Condo.
With their blood pumping and
the taste of victory in their
mouths the Lady Eagles tried to
continue their winning ways in
game two.
The second game would have
Tammy Hager on the mound for
the Lady Eagles.
After running into a little trou-
ble in the second she was
relieved by game one's star
Sonya Hafer who came in to
pitch the final 5 1/3 innings and
gave up only one hit.
Although Sonya pitched anoth-
er great game they came up just
short and lost 7-6.
For the day Sonya pitched an
amazing 15 1/3 innings and her
ERA for the season is 4.91.
The lady Eagles were rained out
on Tuesday, April 23 when they
were supposed to play RJP.
Their next game will be today
at undefeated California.
With Sonya Hafer back on the
mound the Lady Eagles would
love to put a blemish on
California's perfect record.
"Right now our team is really
playing great. If we stay focused
we can win," commented Condo.
The Lady Eagle softball team
will conclude the regular season
at home on Saturday when they
host the Lady Bald Eagles of
Lock Haven at 1:00 pm.

By Tim Rafalski
Sports Writer
Now that the Bulls have broken
all of their records and the play-
off match-ups are set, there's
only one thing left to close out
the NBA regular season; an
awards presentation. These are
no regular awards though.
They stand for the best that the
NBA has to offer. They stand for
the great individual and team per-
formances over the past six
months.
They stand for the pinnacle that
all professional basketball play-
ers strive to attain. Move aside
ESPY's, it's time for the RAFY
awards.
Coach Of The Year: This cat-
egory has been a two man race.
Chicago's Phil Jackson and
Cleveland's Mike Fratello.
Jackson took a team with the
largest collection of egos and the
most volatile player in the league
and guided them to a NBA record
of 72 victories.
Fratello' s team had no star
players and was supposed to be
rebuilding but he led them to a
47-35 record and a fourth seed in
the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Everybody knew the Bulls were
going to win a lot of games;
nobody thought the Cavs had a
chance to make the playoffs.
Fratello gets the nod.
Rookie Of The Year: This was
one of the most competitive
awards we had. There were a
number of rookies who put up
good numbers, including: Joe
Smith, Antonio McDyess,
Michael Finley, and Kevin
Garnett.
In the end it came down to two
youngsters: Toronto's Damon
Stoudamire and Philadelphia's
Jerry Stackhouse.
Both put up good numbers for
bad teams but the Raptor Mighty
Mouse's consistent play and team
leadership gave him the edge and
the award.
There also was a special over-
30 rookie award which was won
by: (in honor of my favorite
Sportscenter host Craig "spank
me" Kilbom) he's not myvydas,
he's not yourvydas, he's Arvydas
Sabonis of the Traiblazers.
Team Of The Year: This was
a neck-and-neck battle through-
out most of the year.
Thanks to some impressive
playing at the end of the season
the 76ers managed to pull ahead
of the Bulls in the voting and
come away with the award.
Dumb And Dumber Award:
The Los Angelas Laker duo of
Nick Van Exel and Magic
Johnson came out of nowhere to
win this award with their perfor-
mances in the final month of the
season.
First Van Exel shoulder blocks
an official onto the scorer's table
then Johnson after belittling Van

guess referees should start taking
self-defense classes before work-
ing a Lakers game.
Head In Your Orifice Award:
This prestigious award was the
most hotly contested of all the
categories.
The performances of our can-
didates were so equally asinine
and ridiculous that the RAFY
awards selection committee
decided that they were all deserv-
ing of this distinction.
The following is the list of
recipients and their claim to
fame.
• The NBA front office for fining
Pistons coach Doug Collins
$5000 for not making his team
play defense in the final seconds
of an out of reach loss to
Orlando.
• The fans who booed Mahmoud
Abdul-Rauf, for not standing for
the national anthem, during the
anthem. Right idea, wrong time.
•Abdul-Rauf.
Listen up Mahmoud, the
national anthem doesn't stand for
oppression.
It stands for the freedom that
allows you to make millions of
dollars a year and for the men
and women who fought for and
died to ensure you that freedom.
This isn't limited to Rauf though.
This is also for everybody who
talks, eats, goes to the bathroom,
finds a seat, takes pictures, etc.,
during the national anthem.
There's more to showing respect
than just standing.
• Two teams won this award.
The 76ers for actually trading for
Derrick (trainer's table) Coleman
and the Clippers for continuing
their draft day shambles by trad-
ing future superstar Antonio
McDyess for a couple of, at best,
above-average players.
• Dennis Rodman, for doing his
best WWF impersonation and
head-butting an official. Dennis
was also the proud recipient of
the lifetime achievement award
in this category.
• There were many more but
space constraints limits listing
them all.
Most Valuable Player: Mitch
Richmond and Grant Hill were
two of the candidates for this
award but in the end the player
who is the most valuable to his
team is San Antonio center David
Robinson.
This season he led the Spurs in
scoring, rebounds, blocked shots,
and field goal pecentage, second
in steals and minutes played and
third in assists and free throw
percentage.
With Robinson the Spurs won
59 games and the Midwest divi-
sion championship. Without him
they are drafting with a lottery
pick.
Most Outstanding Player:
Michael Jordan.
AH NBA First Team: Guards-
Anfernee Hardaway, Jordan;
Forwards-Scottie Pippen, Shawn
Kemp; Center- David Robinson.
Second Team: Guards-Gary
Payton, Richmond; Forwards-
Hill, Karl Malone; Center-
Hakeem Olajuwon.
That's the end of the RAFY
NBA awards presentation. See
you all again at the end of base-
ball season.
The playoffs will be rolling
around soon, so be sure to check
out all the NBA action, remem-
ber, it's Fantastic.

won heat #1 and finished 10th
overall in the 1500 meter run
(4:21.22).
The women had a successful
day at IUP. Once again the relay
teams shined. The 4x100 meter
relay team of Danielle Kifer,
Lynn Baluh, Jackie Wolbert, and
Sarah Lutz finished fourth.
The 4x400 relay team took
sixth. (Baluh, Lutz, Kifer, and
Christie Mares).
Debbie Brostmeyer had a big
day finishing fifth in the 400
meter dash (1:02.74) and second
in the 1500 meter run. (5:08.48)
In the 100 meter dash, Lutz fin-
ished sixth (13.63) and teammate
Danielle Kifer finished seventh
(13.64). Lutz also took eighth in
the 200 meter dash (28.7).
Roxanne Wilson took second
place in the 5000 meter run with
a time of 20:42.47.
The remainder of the women
took a trip to the Lady Lion
Relays against Division I
schools.
Kim Pellegrino jumped 15 feet
to finish fourth in the long jump.
In the 110 meter hurdles, Leslie
Latoche took fourth with a time
of 16.4 seconds and also quali-
fied for PSAC's.
Bridgette Laflin won the
5000m race with a time of
20:58.8.
Lori Dando, Clarion's stand-out
freshman and national hopeful,
took second in the discus with a
throw of 128.8 feet.
Clarion travels to Baldwin-
Wallace College in Cleveland on
Saturday.
"This is a big meet for us. We
will be facing great competition.
Baldwin-Wallace is one of the
fastest facilities around," com-
mented head coach Pat Mooney.
With PSAC's only two weeks
away, the Golden Eagles are con-
tinuing to improve.
Mooney said,"We are ready to
make another step forward in the
next two weeks."
At Baldwin Wallace, Mooney
hopes the stiff competition will
improve his team.
"When you compete against the
caliber of teams we will face this
weekend, it can only improve
you as a team. Events like these
will help to put Clarion track on
the map," he added.

Sports Opinion
The Penalty Box and various sporting tidbits
By Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
Welcome back to the Penalty
Box. where our first round draft
pick last Saturday was Art
Barlow at fullback.
THE SECOND SEASON
(CONTINUED) Wonderful
thing about newspaper deadline
is that a lot of the things we Call
writers write about is already out-
dated or will be outdated by the
time the paper goes into print. As
I shift in to the Penguin push for
another Cup, this will be another
example. Watching the game on
Monday night and seeing bow
Lemieux, Barrasso, and Francis
led the squad in the face of a 3-0
deficit reminded me of the 1991-
92 seasons. That was one of the
better games they played all year
despite the consequences. For
the better part of the evening the
Pens kept the puck in the Caps
zone and that is something they
haven't done in about two weeks.
Excluding Wednesday's game
(which due to deadline hasn't
been played yet), the key to the
series has been the third goal
scored. In Pittsburgh, the third
goal has started the Caps come-
backs. On Monday, the third
goal was the nail in the coffin for
the Pens. Watch who scores the
third goal in the remaining
games, chances are you will find
your winner.
SECOND SEASON PART
DEUX If "playoffs" is a favorite
word of yours for some reason,
then you are smiling with the
NBA post-season starting up as
well. All the talk in the East is
about the Bulls, and their 72
wins, and the mere formality of
the playoffs in handing them the
crown.
However, the second seeded
Orlando Magic have a intriguing
first round matchup with Detroit
before they get a shot at Chicago.
Detroit is a very formidable 7th
seed.
They are formidable because
they have a great mix of youth
and experience, and they haven't
been in the playoffs for a couple
of years.
That makes them a dangerous
club. Don't be surprised if they
take Shaq and crew the full five
games.
The team that really has been
looking forward towards the
playoffs are the Seattle
Supersonics.
Now all they have to do is make
it to the NBA final so everyone
will get off their back.
NFL DRAFT NOTES The
Steelers haven't been the
sharpest knife in the drawer when
it comes to the draft, but I like the
picks they made.
The "zip code" they drafted in
the first round has only questions
of talent levels in which the play-
ers competed in.
I really hope that Dan Mobley
from Kutztown makes it with the
Denver Broncos.
If speed kills, then Mobley is a
mass murderer.
It was great to see him walk out
of the stands (he didn't have his
own area like Johnson, Phillips,
etc.) at the draft.
IT'S A CRUEL WORLD
On a sad note, the Penalty Box
would like to extend its condo-
lences to the family and friends
of former Nebraska quarterback
Brook Brerringer.
Brook was instrumental in the
Husker run towards the 1995
national championship. He will
be missed.
Laying it on the line; with a few selected highlights
By Kraig Koelsch
Sports Editor
Welcome back to another fun-
filled edition of Laying it on the
line.
•Jamain Stephens. Who is this
blimp? Really though, I really
believe this was a good pick.
From what all the draftniks say,
Stephens might be able to devel-
op into a big time player. Only
time will tell, but I really believe
that the frugal Rooney family has
lucked out again.
Jerome Bettis is a fantastic
pickup, and if Jim Miller or
Kordell Stewart can complete
high percentage passes, this team
looks headed back to the big
dance.
What about Greg Lloyd? He
issued an ultimatum to the
Steelers brass and don't look for
them to go for it. If you are a
Greg Lloyd fan, don't count on
seeing him in the Black and Gold
too much longer, so enjoy this
season because it will be his last.
•Enough about the Steelers,
hopefully as you are reading this
the Penguins are tied at two
games apiece with the Capitals.
But to Lay it on the line, the
Penguins will defeat the
Capitals in seven games and
you heard it hear first.
•Quick Quiz: What is worse,
the Pirates bullpen or the various
attempts at constructing steam-
lines on this campus. Come on,
these guys can't get anyone out,
and if you pass by and actually
see someone working on the
steamlines on campus then con-
sider yourself lucky. In fact, you
might want to go to your nearest
field and pick that four leaf

Randall Robinson is slated
to give the Commencement
address on May 11.
Bridget Gavin. Robinson will
become Clarion University's
third honorary degree recipient
after receiving the degree of
Doctor of Laws, honoris causa
during the commencement
ceremonies. Gavin will receive a
B.S. degree in music education
at the ceremonies.
Robinson, who visited Clarion
University in October 1992 as a
distinguished lecturer, has been
Executive Director of
TransAmerica since its inception
in 1977.
TransAmerica is an
organization dedicated to
shaping popular opinion in the
U.S. for foreign policies toward
Africa and the Carribean.
During the 1980's, Robinson
organized the campaign to have
the United States government
impose sanctions against the
apartheid regime in South
Africa. The campaign ended
successfully when Congress
passed the Anti- Apartheid Act of
1986.
Among Robinson's many
achievements is the development
of an international campaign
with prominent Somalis and
human rights activists to urge the
U.S and the United Nations to
strengthen consultation with
Somali elders and a peace
conference into Operation
Rescue Hope. Robinson's
successful campaign educated
the public and policy makers
about human rights abuses and
led the Congress and the
Executive Branch to normalize
relations with Angola.
During the 1991-94 military
regime in Haiti, TransAfrica
lobbied on behalf of the elected
democratic government of exiled
President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Robinson has helped to push
for stronger U.S. support of
Aristide's return as well as an
end to the forced repatriation of
Haitian refugees fleeing military
rule.
He has also been credited with
helping to prompt a major shift
in U.S. policy as a result of his
27 day hunger strike to protest
the harsh treatment of the
refugees.
Robinson also heads the
TransAfrica Forum, a center for
research, education, and public
outreach regarding social,
economic, and political
developments affecting
American foreign policy toward
Africa and the Caribbean.
The Forum has secured
Congressional support for a
TransAfrica initiative which
provides specialized training at
more than 60 American
universities for African-
American students interested in
joining the U.S. Foreign Service.
This is an area of public service
in which people of color have
been underrepresented.
Formerly a public interest
lawyer in, Boston, Robinson has
worked on a broad range of
social and civil rights issues.
His articles have appeared in
major publications throughout
the U.S., and his autobiography
will be published in 1997.
Robinson has received the
Martin Luther King Jr.
Distinguished Service and
Humanitarian Awards, among
other honors and has been voted
as "Person of the Week" by

Harvey lab awaits additional computer equipment
by Christy Sanzari
News Writer
Recently, a survey was
conducted by the student body
for the computer needs of the
Harvey Hall computer lab.
Approximately 79 students
completed the survey. The
administrators who presented the
survey to the student body
learned of several needs that
have been voiced from the
results of the survey.
Almost all of the students
surveyed thought that the top
two equipment needs were more
computers for the Harvey Hall
computer lab and a faster modem
connection to the Internet. The
survey also showed a need for
upgraded software and more
hours that the lab would open.
The preference among students
was it should be open earlier in
the morning on weekdays.
At the beginning of each
semester, stu Jents are accessed a
10% Instructional Support Fee.
This fee is used to allocate
money for the cost of equipment
for the personal use of students
or through classroom use by
faculty. Even though most
computers are included in the
ISF, Harvey Hall is not. It is
funded by a grant from the
National Science Department
and by the Clarion University
psychology department.
Dr. Thomas Vilberg, a
professor in the psychology
department, is a strong supporter
of the Harvey Hall computer lab.
Vilberg feels that the lab is, "an
educational opportunity that is
crucial to our students."
Due to the results of the
survey, the psychology
department has requested eight
PPC 7500 computers and
equipment to increase the
modem connection to the
network by 40 times. An
estimated cost for these requests
is $23,000.
After compiling the survey,
Vilberg made the equipment
request to the chairman of the
psychology department, Dr.
Richard Nicholls. Nicholls then
in turn sends the request to Dr.
Stanton Green, Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences.
Upon approval of the request,
Green would then submit the
request to Dr. John Kuhn,
provost and vice-president of
Academic Affairs. The requests
from the other colleges will be
compiled together and a decision
about the purchase of equipment
is made. At this time, Green has
not submitted the equipment

OPINION
Editorial

"I have enough rejec-
tion letters from
prospective employers
to paper
a small room**
My goodness, it seems like I
have been here for ages!
When I arrived at Clarion five
years ago, bright-eyed and well
rested, the excitement of being on
my own was overwhelming.
Now, after receiving both an
undergraduate and graduate
degree from this institution, the
prospect of being totally self-suf-
ficient and grown-up is looming
on the horizon.
The excitement is there, as well
as the trepidation.
I have enough rejection letters
from prospective employers to
paper a small room — something
about professional experience.
Looking back, everything
seems to have blended into one
memory which to me defines
Clarion.
Wind, the smell of Becht Hall,
snow, Carlson's basement
(yikes!), rain, a Sunday afternoon
picnic, and ice are all examples
of what will remain with me for a
long time.
It is a tradition that graduating
members of The Call impart
advice to those less fortunate
souls who will remain at Clarion
University awhile longer, and the
powers that be.
For those who remain: be
young, have fun, drink Mt. Dew,
and eat lots of chocolate.
These four things will get you
through your remaining years at
Clarion and quite possibly life
itself.
The young still have a sense of
humor and make friends a lot
easier than do those who are
older.
Think back to elementary
school and how fast friends were
made and how often you laughed.
Fun — it will keep you sane, for
awhile, anyhow.
Mt. Dew will keep you awake
for those classes you have to
attend after staying up all night to
finish that project.
Chocolate is good for you and
one of the five basic food
groups — consume lots of it!
To the powers that be: more
funding for the library, more
classes, and lower costs to obtain
a higher education.
Affordable education with avail-
able classes and access to infor-
mation to support coursework
probably will increase enrollment
more than a new recreation cen-
ter will.
One thought runs through my
mind, in 30 years, what will I
remember the most about
Clarion?
Of course there are the classes,
which at this point have all
blended into one, and I don't
remember what I learned in one
or the other.
To some extent, I just know it .
There is the Roost, the place to be
Thursdays, if you're legal; mall
walks (especially in 100 degree
weather); roadtrips; the Internet;
and happy hour at the Loomis.
However, I think what I will
remember the most are the peo-
ple I have met during my incar-
ceration.
They have made Clarion a mem-
orable experience.
First, would have to be my
roommates who put up with me
this year, because they are as
loony as I am.
Then there are the many friends
I have made in various classes
and activities, and various pro-
fessors. And of course there is
The Clarion Call staff with whom
I've spent a great two years of
my life.
Thanks for the tee-shirt, I'll
wear it and think of you guys.

"in Just
Spring...*
So it's that time of year again —
Spring — when there's a forecast
for a dust of snow to coat the last
of the daffodil crop. It has been
an unusually long Pennsylvania
winter, in many ways.
First, I would like to thank the
many speakers who have con-
tributed to our column this past
year. Ideas and experiences have
been shared; issues have been
addressed — that's why the Call
provides this forum year after
year.
Granted I've twisted a few arms
to meet deadline; but for the most
part the columns have been time-
ly; on occasion we've even run
several in an issue; most have
been brought to the paper by
individuals who have written not
for grades, ego, or money, but to
have their thinking shared.
I believe the column has been a
good avenue for personal expres-
sion, and it has provided evi-
dence that Clarion produces
some good writing.
This year the column, the letters
to the editor, the editorials, in
fact, the entire newspaper
engaged issues of substance and
issues of difficulty. On the one
hand, I am pleased that the
Executive Board of the Clarion
Call continued to support the
basic concepts of a free press,
fighting at times to keep the lines
of communication open, provid-
ing an arena for expression and
debate. BUT it has not been with-
out a price. We seem to live in an
age where the old dictum "They
always kill the messenger" has
been invigorated by the spirit of
the times. Maintaining a Civil
Discourse when participants are
eager to use words to inflict pain
is a thankless task, using the
credibility of the press to quash
vicious rumor and innuendo fuels
further fire, providing a level
playing field for commercial
speech is construed as advocating
spurious or offensive viewpoints,
but the Call endures.
I am often perplexed when stu-
dents, especially student journal-
ists, talk about what it will be like
in the "real world." Dealing with
anger, suffering personal abuse,
explaining the value of providing
a forum for fact, thought and
expression, and inviting toler-
ance can be about as real as it
gets.
After more than a few years
advising student publications, I
am convinced that one of the
hardest jobs on a college campus
is being the editor of the student
newspaper. You are learning;
you are doing, and YOU are
responsible.
Kathryn Zaikoski has risen to
this task. She has endured, and
she has maintained the integrity
of her position. The Executive
Board of the Clarion Call has
worked together and grown pro-
fessionally; they have prepared a
solid foundation for next year's
staff, and for Mary Beth Curry,
the incoming editor in chief-
Good Luck.

Chandler changes "haven't all been positive or necessary"
I'm writing in concern to an
article that was published in the
Clarion News on February 15,
1996. The article I am talking
about was titled "Chandler
Dining Hall Makes Major
Changes."
This is an article mat should be
read by every Clarion University
student, and if one has not read it
yet they should go to the
University library and look it up.
Many of the changes discussed
in the article, that Clarion News
viewed as positive, I personally
do not feel were beneficial to
Clarion students. I do agree mat
Chandler Dining Hall has made
some major changes over the
past year, but these changes
haven't all been positive or
necessary to benefit the people
who eat at Chandler. I plan on
pointing out a few of these
changes and discussing why they
were not necessarily ways to
better our cafeteria.
One change that was talked
about in this article was the
improvement of the "looks" of
the cafeteria. Yes, in some ways
this may be a positive change
that will help the student forget
he or she is in a cafeteria, but
let's come back to reality and
remember that this is a structural
change and not a change that
betters the food. I feel their
main goal should be to improve
the nutrients of the food and the
presentation of the food and not
just the way the cafeteria looks.
Just because the cafeteria is
better looking does not improve
the food nutrients or the way the
food tastes. They need to move
away from cosmetic changes and
move onto changes that will
improve the food.
I'm sure students would be
more impressed with food
changes than the new
"environment" Chandler has
recently created. Don't get me
wrong, I think this is a nice
change, but it wasn't really
necessary or all that effective.
Another point this article
brought up was about how these
cosmetic changes and "new
improved" look will help to
increase student enrollment. If
someone would choose a
University, based on how the
cafeteria looks, then Clarion
shouldn't want that student
Letters
to
the
Editor
enrolled here. As a junior, I have
given many tours to incoming
applicants, and I have never had
anyone ask me how the cafeteria
looked when they started asking
Questions about why they should
or shouldn't come to Clarion.
Usually questions asked about
the cafeteria would be how good
is the food, what type of variety
do we have, will there be enough
variety to choose from if they are
a vegetarian, and how much does
it cost to eat at the cafeteria per
semester? I feel these are
important issues that Chandler
should be dealing with before
worrying about the appearance.
Lastly, the article talked about
how our cafeteria is beneficial to
others because it is "all you can
eat." I view this as negative
because it teaches us to over eat;
while causing the cost of eating
in Chandler to increase.
Don't get me wrong, I also
feel that Chandler has made
some positive improvements that
are beneficial to the Clarion
student. One would be that they
now include some nutrition
factors on food items.
This can be very helpful if you
are watching your fat, calorie,
and sodium intake. Now all they
need to do is get serving spoons
that will let us know how many
ounces they are serving us. This
is one thing that David Henry
(cafeteria manager) said they are
working on. I've also learned
from David Henry that starting
next semester, Chandler is hiring
a registered dietitian. Chandler
now also posts a menu of what
they will be serving for the
week.
This can be helpful to people
who want to plan what they will
eat so they can fulfill their food
pyramid require merits Cor each
day Another improvement is
that they now serve a few
healthier cereals.
I understand that other changes
will take time, but I guess the
point of me writing mis article is
to open a few students eyes and
make you realize if you want
healthier foods in our cafeteria
you need to ask for them.
The more people that say they
want healthier and fat free
choices like fat free or low fat
cottage cheese or yogurt and
fresh vegetables like green
beans, com, squash and legumes,
the more likely these items will
be added to the menu. Do not
be too lazy or afraid to use you
student voice.
The bottom line, is we pay
enough money to attend this
University, and I think some of
this money should be used on
improvements that will be
beneficial to the student, the
more people that ask for
healthier choices, the more likely
we will receive them.
Sincerely,
Susie Bussard
"Recently the dean of the college of Comm/CIAS/LS has accepted a new position..."
Dear communication, computer
science, and library science
students,
Recently the dean of the
college of Comm/CIAS/LS has
accepted a new position which
will leave this college deanless.
The obvious thing to do would
be search for another dean and
fill the vacancy as soon as
possible. However other
possibilities are being
considered.
Clarion University is
considering not filling the
position and moving the majors
in mis college to other colleges.
For example communication
majors would be dealt with in
the College of Arts and Sciences.
This could create a number of
hassles.
If you think that you are put
through the "run around" now
just wait until the departments
are spread out into different
colleges. If you need a couple of
signatures it could take you to
five buildings and three days and
even then you still may not be
done.
For those of you that schedule
through the dean's office or drop
and add courses you would no
longer have this convenience.
There are of course numerous
changes that this could entail
which are not being talked about
but could arise.
I assure you that none of these
are positive for our college. The
people that benefit from mis are
the heads of Clarion who save
some money by not appointing a
new dean. The administration is
trying to keep these ideas under
wraps so mat students do not get
upset and get involved or worse
yet get their parents involved.
That is exactly what needs to
be done. By putting us under
other colleges we lose our
identity and just become another
major within those colleges. This
could affect your job searching
in the future because there would
no longer be a college of
communication/library
science/computer science at
Clarion just individual majors.
If you are a communication,
library science, or computer
science major this especially
affects you and you need to tell
the college how you feel.
Clarion is ranked tops in its
communication program but if
we do not receive a dean then the
program could diminish rapidly.
As for library science this could
have a huge affect on whether or
not you receive accreditation.
Don't just let them change our
college around to inconvenience
us. Voice your opinion now.
Sincerely,
Jenni Mumford
"A concerned student"
When you remove equipment from Mr. Elkin's office, it then becomes your responsibility
I am writing in response to the
letter in last week's paper about
a student who was angry he
couldn't check out camera
equipment. I am also a
communication major who
understands that my tuition
dollars pay for the privilege and
not the "right" to use camera
equipment. The equipment is
there for use in communication
courses, and or organizations.
Other requests are directed to
student services.
I also understand that as a
college student I have to take
responsibility for my actions. For
example, if I were to take out
camera equipment, and bring it
back with a puddle of water
inside it, I may face some
difficulties the next time I
wanted to take out equipment.
Deal with the consequences of
your actions. Do you think if I
approached a computer lab
assistant and asked to take a
computer home they would
allow it? Of course not. Even if
my tuition dollars are paying for
that computer, and even if I am
using it for class work?
When you remove the
equipment from Mr. Elkin's
office, it then becomes your
responsibility. If you can't
handle this responsibility then
you lose your privilege.
When the equipment comes
back damaged, that does not
only pose a problem for the
technicians who have to fix it,
but for those who need to use the
equipment for their classes.
There are two sides to every
story and I don't think that if
President Reinhard had heard
both sides she would have been
so quick to jump to the student's
defense.
I am sure that there are some
students who have faced some
questions when getting
equipment for personal use, but
those questions are not
unwanted. The inability to obtain
equipment is not because Mr.
Elkin thinks he is the "camera
god," rather because of
irresponsibility on the part of the
student.
Sincerely,
Dawn Samms

Air Force takes wraps
off secret plane
WASHINGTON- The Air Force on Tuesday unveiled a unique
"stealth" airplane built more than a decade ago in California in the
strictest of secrecy. Parts of its pioneering radar-evading design
live on in today's B-2 stealth bomber.
Meant to be a surveillance plane that could fly close to a battle
front with minimal risk of being detected by radar, the plane was
teat flown 135 times from 1982-85 but then scrapped. It has been
in secret storage ever since.
The Air Force had never before acknowledged the existence of
the project, which was code-named Tacit Blue. The plane never
flew real surveillance missions.
Cattle producers may get boost
WASHINGTON- The government will buy up to $50 million in
beef for its school lunch program to help ease the pinch on
farmers, ranchers and feedlot operators who are getting shrinking
prices for cattle while feed costs rise and a drought shrivels
grazing land.
The beef purchase is one of a number of steps announced by the
White House after President Clinton met with Republican and
Democratic senators to promise his support for the industry.

Aside from being personally recognition away. Believe me I
attacked throughout your letter was mad as hell, but how could I
to the editor, I'd like to make afford the previous debt?
some of the issues that were The third point that might not
raised by you clear to the readers
of this paper as well as for your
own personal knowledge.
The first point that needs to be
addressed is your reference to
me not being a brother of Delta
Chi. As I went through the rush
process as well as the entire
pledging process one thought
never left my mind.
I was going to be a Delta Chi. I
am, to this day, a Delta Chi.
You can still believe what you
would like to believe, but I can
show you my name in our
National Directory as well as the
copies of our quarterly that is
sent to the brothers of Delta Chi.
The second point that must be
made more clear is your
reference to "You must get off
your butt and pay the debt".
You are an alumni of Clarion
University.
You know the financial state of
many of those that attended this
university.
As I was initiated nationally,
our class found out the hard way,
about a debt that had been
around for quite some time.
After countless meetings we
did decide that giving up our
charter was the way to go.
I'll have you know that I
fought to the very end to save it.
Put yourself in my position. I
had just gotten in, and they

your attack on the reporter of the
issue at hand.
It seems that Delta Chi was the

real problem with, and directly

No one ever came to present
us with options except for our

end of our decision making

please cease to criticize those

Some people had questions as
to the letters that they may be
seeing people wearing on
campus and this article answered
these questions.
I'd like to personally thank her
for writing the article even
though negative feedback was
inevitable.
The final point that I'd like to
make is in regards to the nature
of the employment that you refer
to in the article.
You say that you are a
"fraternity educational
consultant".
I have no idea when you
assumed this position, but I can
say with certainty that it was
after the spring semester of

No matter how hard that may
be for you to swallow. This is a
time that we should unite and not
divide.
Our decisions may not have
been the most correct within

Chastising will bring no good.
A war of words is not desired on

Cooperation is what is needed

Delta Chi- Spring '93
Racial language in Public Safety Blotter upsetting to campus
To the Students and
Administration of Clarion
University:
On several occasions, while
reading the Clarion Call 's Public
Safety Blotter, I have come
across something truly
disturbing.
I am unaware of any reason
why we must point out the color
of people when they are African-
American, or even for any
reason at all.
If there is an incident involving
three Caucasian students, they
are not labeled as Caucasian.
Why then must we clarify when
a student is African-American.
Let alone refer to these
individuals as "black students."
What exactly is a black student?
A famous philosopher, Leo
Buscaglia writes, "A word is just
a few phonetic meaningless
symbols side by side.
You give it meaning, and then
it sticks with you. You give it a
cognitive meaning, and you give
it an emotional meaning, and
then you live with it.
Dr. Timothy Leary did some
fantastic work on the mind when
he was at Harvard.
He said, "Words are a freezing
of reality." Once you learn a
word and get the intellectual and
emotional meaning of that word,
you are stuck with mat word the
rest of your life.
So, your world of words is
built. Everything that happens is
filtered through this stuck, frozen
system, and that keeps us from
growing.
We say things like "He's a
Communist. "Pow! We turn him
off. We stop listening. Some
people say, "He's a Jew." Pow!
We turn him off. We've ceased
respecting him. Labels, labels,
labels!
How many kids have not been
educated just because someone
pinned a label on them
somewhere along the line?
Stupid, dumb, emotionally
disturbed. I have never known a
stupid child. Never! Never! I've
only known children and no two
are alike.
Labels are distancing
phenomena. They push us away
from each other. Black Men.
What's a black man? I've never
known two alike. Does he love?
Does he care? What about his
kids? Has he cried? Is he
lonely? Is he beautiful? Is he
happy?
Is he giving something to
someone? These are the
important things. Not the fact
that he is a black man or Jew or
Communist or Democrat or
Republican." I hope this quote
helps people to realize the
damaging effects labeling has on
individuals.
If we each direct our lives -
towards the process of positive
change, we will be one step
closer to improving this society.
Sincerely,
Lisa Bane
More concerns about Blotter
Dear Editor,
I am very disturbed about the
wording of one of the events
reported in the Public Safety
Blotter of the April 25th issue of
the Call.
Why is it necessary to say,
'Several black students caused a
disturbance . . ." when reporting
information about an incident at
Gemmell Student Complex on
April 21? If the students had
all been white, would the report
have read, "several white
students. . .?" I think it would
have said, "several students."
Unless there is more to this
story man the three lines in the
Blotter, there is no reason to
mention the race of the
individuals.
By pointing out race
unnecessarily in circumstances
like these, the negative
stereotype of violent African-
American men will continue.
Sincerely,
Peggy VanHom

Hinko is receiving the
Distinguished Alumni award
along with Barrett. Hinko
received a B.A. in chemistry
Magna Cum Laude from Clarion
University in 1975 and went on
to earn a Ph.D. degree from the
Ohio State University in 1979.
Hinko joined the University of
Toledo in 1979 and teaches phys-
iology and pharmacology in
addition to mentoring research
projects.
'The announcement of this
award was a very wonderful sur-
prise and a real thrill," says
Hinko. "Clarion sent me on my
way. I always speak highly of the
chemistry department and
Clarion University."
Hinko's personal research
involves seeking a treatment for
epilepsy. "For the last 12 or 13
years my research has involved
looking for a novel anticonvul-
sant to treat seizures. I test them
to see if they prevent seizures in
animal models. I have studied a
large number of compounds
seeking one that is effective and
non-toxic. I am also interested in
whether these compounds affect
memory or learning in patients
and the mechanism of action of
these drugs in the central nervous
system."
Freed will receive the
Harvey Hall cont. from page 1
request to Kuhn.
Included in the equipment
request, Green has offered to
upgrade ClarisWorks to the
newest edition and has also
agreed to include $900 to update
the disk operating system.
Green is also a strong support-
er of the Harvey Hall lab and is
happy students find the lab use-
ful. "We will try to keep up with
the students' demands the best we
can," said Green. He further went
on to state, "it is a high priority of
the university to upgrade the
lab."
Green has asked that all chair-
persons in the College of Arts
and Sciences submit prioritized
requests of their departments by
May 6.
He says there is a good possi-
bility that there will be money
available at the end of the year
for the colleges' equipment
requests.
Vilberg says that the psycholo-
gy department will definitely
resubmit their request.
"Our plan now is to continue to
use student input in hopes that
the dean sees the importance of
adding the computers," stated
Vilberg. "Getting this equipment
will be a priority of the depart-
ment for the foreseeable future."
Both Vilberg and Green agreed
that the Harvey Hall computer
lab is one of the finer computer
labs on campus.
The survey has showed that
most of the users of the lab are
education majors even though
students of any major are allowed
to use the lab.
Vilberg is pleased that they have
been able to service as many stu-
dents as they have. "The students
have been absolutely wonderful
in using the lab and the equip-
ment," Vilberg concluded.
Distinguished Faculty award at
Alumni Day. "I was very sur-
prised, to say the least, when I
received word of the award,"
says Freed, who has also served
as chair of the mathematics
department since 1983. "I can
think of a lot of faculty members
in this department alone deserv-
ing of this award. I would like to
accept it on behalf of the mathe-
matics department and all faculty
members."
Freed attended Marietta
College in Ohio as a mathematics
major and received an assistant-
ship to attend Kent State
University for graduate studies.
Despite taking classes during the
"Kent State Massacre", Freed
finished his graduate school edu-
cation by correspondence. He
also finished his doctorate studies
at Clarion University.
Since joining Clarion, Freed
has been involved in university
activities from serving on schol-
arship and other committees to a
six year term on Faculty Senate.
He has also run a high school
mathematics competition at
Clarion University for many
years and served as advisor to
student clubs.
Wallace, a 1948 Clarion State
Teachers College graduate and
later a employee for 14 years,
will receive a Distinguished
Service award at the alumni cere-
monies.
Wallace started his first student
stint at Clarion State College in
1941. World War II interrupted
his education and he spent three
years in the service before return-
ing and receiving his degree in
1948. Wallace was a four year
I
letter winner for the 'Golden
Eagles in football, a three time
letter winner in basketball, and
was a member of the 1946-47
undefeated baseball team.
Wallace taught and coached at
at Cranberry and Oil City, served
as principal at Rouseville, super-
vising principal at East Forest
and chief school administrator
for the Forest Area School
District. He joined Clarion State
College in 1967 as an assistant in
the admissions department.
Wallace retired in 1980 as the
director of professional education
services.

Flaningam resigns as dean of university college
by Matt Geesey
News Editor
Dr. Rita Flaningam, Dean of the
College of Communication,
Computer Information Science,
and Library Science, has
announced her resignation effec-
tive in August. She has been
appointed as the Provost/Vice-
President of Academic Affairs at
Lewis and Clark State College in
Idaho. Besides being dean, she
has also served as the head of
continuing education and gradu-
ate studies.
Flaningam has been at Clarion
University for six years. She
replaced Dr. James Cole, who
retired in 1988. Flaningam
received her B.S. at California
State, Long Beach. She also
received her masters' degree at
Northern Illinois University and
her doctorate at State University
of New York (SUNY) , Buffalo.
Flaningam has also done post
doctoral work at Carnegie
Mellon University and West
Virginia University and has been
enrolled in the Harvard
University Management
Program.
Flaningam has been a professor
at Montana State, SW Missouri,
Illinois State, Davis and Elkins
College, and Slippery Rock
University of Pennsylvania. She
was also division head for the
division of integrated studies at
Davis and Elkins College from
1977 to 1980 and experimental
college administrator for
Bowdoin College in 1978.
Flaningam was the assistant to
the dean of the College of
Information Science and
Business Administration and an
associate professor of communi-
cation at Slippery Rock
University of Pennsylvania. As
assistant to the dean, she was
Dr. Rita Flaningam
responsible in the areas of stu-
dent matters, planning of special
events, report writing, course
scheduling, classroom allocation,
and assisting the dean in general
matters pertaining to the college.
Dr. John Kuhn, Provost/Vice-
President for Academic Affairs
commented on Flaningam's work
at Clarion, " I enjoyed working
with her and have great respect
for her as an administrator and a
colleague as well as a friend."
Dr. Carman Fellicetti, chair of
the communication department,
said,"it will be a great loss for the
university." "She tried to coordi-
nate the departments and was an
active dean over the college."
Even though Flaningam has
announced that she is resigning,
an announcement of an interim
dean to take her place has not
been made. Many faculty mem-
bers and department heads have
expressed concerns of the possi-
bility of splitting up the depart-
ments in the college and placing
them in other preexisting col-
leges. Kuhn has expressed his

opinion that the position may
remain vacant. A written recom-
mendation will be given to
President Reinhard by June 1
regarding Kuhn's decision.
Meetings have been held with the
three department heads and
Kuhn. The three department
heads are Fellicetti; Dr. Dana
Madison, computer information
science department; and Dr.
Ahmad Gamaluddin, library sci-
ence department. Splitting up the
departments was discussed at a
recent meeting. Kuhn insists the
reason for splitting up the depart-
ments would include a savings to
die university since it is looking
at a tough fiscal year for next
semester.
Mr. Michael Barrett, professor
of computer information science,
has expressed his disgust at the
idea of the separation of the col-
lege's departments. He is com-
pletely against the idea. "The
separation will hurt the program.
Dr. Kuhn says a vacant dean seat
will save money. They won't see
the savings they are looking for,
because there will never be any
real savings," says Barrett.
According to Barrett, this will be
the third dean position that has
been cut. Barrett concluded by
saying, 'The communicationsde-
partment will get hurt the most.
The administration sees the
money going out but doesn't
understand what attracts students
to the college. They don't appre-
ciate what this college does for
the university."
Fellicetti summarized the
thoughts of the department heads
by devising a simple solution.
"Our solution for the faculty is to
keep it as one college. If we are
to save money, we need an acting
dean."

Tuition
Page 7
by Matt Geesey
News Editor
At the beginning of next semes-
ter, a student who is attending
one of the 14 State System of
Higher Education (SSHE)
schools may notice an increase in
their tuition and Instructional
Support Fee (ISF). The tuition
increase could total up to $145 if
the current state budget proposed
by Governor Tom Ridge gets
passed by the state House of
Representatives.
Scott Shewell, press secretary
for SSHE, says it is really too
soon to give exact numbers. They
will be given at a later date. The
Board of Governors of
Pennsylvania proposes a 4.5%
increase for funding for the state
system. They have asked all of
the universities to review their
budgets and analyze what they
would actually need so that the
little money that SSHE will
receive will be put to something
useful.
Governor Tom Ridge has pro-
posed no additional funding for
SSHE for the fiscal year of 1996-
97. This has caused a problem for
the fourteen state schools in plan-
ning out their future needs of
equipment and various other
expenses that will be needed. If
the state House of
Representatives and the Senate
pass the budget, then there will
be a $16 million short fall due to
his budget. The decision to pass
or not pass the budget will be
determined in July. SSHE will
have to wait until the budget is
completely set before they can
make any future plans.
A number of questions have
been asked about why Governor
Ridge wants to cut all funding to
the SSHE schools. Federal fund-
ing for Pennsylvania has been
reduced and causes a chain reac-
tion that affects everyone who
receives funding from the state.
Ridge has also proposed $250
million in welfare reform savings
which is also an increase from
last year. The biggest impact on
the state's pocket has been
caused by a ruling from the State
Supreme Court that requires the
state to provide funding for coun-
ty courts. The state is expected to
lake action immediately. If action
is taken, the total .amount of
money could add up n^$l billion.
. . Recently, an Advocacy Day
was held in Harrisburg which
included students and administra-
tors from the 14 SSHE schools
and local legislators. Some of the
concerns that were addressed
were the lack of funding from the
state and the fantasy of afford-
able tuition for the state schools.
MIT faculty vote to allow gays into ROTC
Courtesy of College Press
Service
The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology is one step closer to a
modified Reserve Officers
Training Corp. or ROTC, pro-
gram that keeps, and allows in,
openly homosexual cadets.
On April 1, MIT faculty over-
whelmingly approved a task-
force recommendation that
requires the university to guaran-
tee funding to students who lose
their ROTC scholarships because
they are gay. MIT may be the
first university in the nation to
adopt such a policy.
"We did a thorough check to see
what other schools were doing.
We never ran into another doing
this," said Alan Pierson. a MIT
senior and undergraduate repre-
sentative for the task force.
The military's "don't ask, don't
tell" policy for homosexuals, by
which the ROTC is subject, con-
flicts with the MIT's non-dis-
crimination policy. The modified
program is an attempt to keep the
university's flagship ROTC pro-
gram on campus, while at the
same time, ensure it is open to all
students, no matter their sexual
preference.
Before full implementation, the
modified program must clear one
last hurdle-the Pentagon.
"There are some things that are
a little troubling to us," said Dr.
Steve Seilman, director of
Accession Policy and the
Department of Defense. Seilman
cited as trouble areas the partici-
pation of non-ROTC students in
the ROTC program, changes in
the ROTC curriculum by MIT,
and the establishing of a "litmus
test that would measure the sensi-
tivity of ROTC commanders to
MIT's policy of inclusion. The
DOD's concerns were outlined in
a letter to Stephen C. Graves,
chair of the task force.
"It will be really disappointing
if they are not willing to move at
all," commented Pierson.
In addition to covering scholar-
ships of ROTC cadets who are
dismissed because of their sexu-
ality, MIT's modified program
calls for a nationwide campaign
to change current discrimination
laws. These areas of the task-
force recommendation do not
require DOD approval.
The controversy over the
ROTC program at MIT began in
1990. The faculty adopted a reso-
lution requiring significant
changes to the military's policy
on homosexuality, MIT would
quit its ROTC program by 1998.
A task force convened last
September to evaluate the mili-
tary's progress. In March, the
committee offered an alternative
to quitting the ROTC, a proposal
that was designed to be inclusive
to all, no matter their sexuality.
"Previously, the Tech endorsed
severing all ties with ROTC
because of the conflict with
'don't ask, don't tell' and MIT's
discrimination policy," said
Anders Hove, executive editor of
the Tech, MIT's campus newspa-
per. "The modified program is
inclusive and interacts with
ROTC in a way that facilitates
change in the military," Hove
explained.
Some have suggested the
change in strategy was due to a
new law prohibiting the DOD to
hold contracts with institutions

Postponing the job search after graduation

You think you want to teach

You read those ads for Alaska
fisheries jobs and find yourself
thinking, "Why notT'
You sweat profusely when peo-
ple ask you how the job search is
going.
These may be the warning signs
that as a soon-to-be college grad-
uate, you are yet unprepared to
sign up for 40 years of hard labor
in Corporate America.
But what other options do you
have? Taking up to a year for
"floundering time" can give
some students the chance to catch
their breath after college or figure
out a career path, says Elizabeth
Tener of Smith College.
"Many students, for whatever
reasons, whether they're burned

want to try something before they
get locked into a position that
doesn't offer much flexibility,
choose to postpone the job
search." says Donna Crouch,
associate director of Career
Planning and Placement at the
University of Georgia in Athens.
There is no way to track how
many new grads take time off
after graduation or how many
simply haven't found the right
job. But consider that among
1995 college graduates, only 40
percent reported having jobs at
graduation: six months later, 10
percent were still unemployed,
according to Michigan State
University's National
Employment Survey of College
Grads.
Still, career counselors recom-
mend that students choosing to
take time after graduation follow
a plan. They say without a little
structure, a little time off can turn
into a permanent and career-crip-
pling condition.
Have an idea of what you want
to accomplish during this time.
"First I try to determine why a
student actually wants to delay a
job search," says Crouch. "Is it
for grad school? Or personal rea-
sons? Or because he just isn't
sure what career he wants to pur-
sue? If it is a valid reason, there
are some thin~s a student can do
that will help make him or her
more marketable."
Crouch says students must
decide how long they want to put
everything off then make a plan.
"The most important thing is that
they should not abandon the job
search totally," she says.
Throughout the postponement,
new grads should continue to
keep up with employment trends,
particularly in the geographic
areas they may eventually want
to work, Crouch says. In addi-
tion, she recommends grads
develop a list of networking con-
tacts and continue to work on
their professional development,
whether it be by taking a comput-
er class or attending a workshop
in their profession.
They also should have their
resumes updated and a list of
potential employers ready, then

Impose some kind of time
limit. Brian Murray, a 1995 New
York University grad, says when
he was asked by people if this
season in the ski resort town of
Killing ton, Vt., was his first spent
working there, his reply was
always the same: "Yep, and last."
The film major took a job
teaching children to ski after he
spent a frustrating summer trying
to land a job in advertising. "I
was very unhappy," he says. "T
would walk around New York,
dressed in a little suit, dragging
this briefcase that would get
heavier block by block."
So Murray decided to move out
of his dad's house and~to
Vermont. To pay the bills,
Murray also worked as a cook in
a restaurant. T'm not sure I'd call
it time off," he says of his winter
in Killington. "I worked two
jobs, averaging 72 hours a
week."
Murray says he often worried if
he "was running away from
something rather than running to
something." "I'd look at the sous-
chef and get scared sometimes.
He had worked at the same job
for 15 years, and I wondered
sometimes if 1 was looking in a
mirror," he adds.
But as he ends his season in
Killington. Murray says he feels
"a little more experienced, defi-
nitely a little more mature." He
soon will begin classes in copy-
writing at a school in Atlanta.
"I definitely have a better per-
spective," he says. "I think
spending time off can help you
decide what you want do with
yourself as long as you don't lose
sight of your original goals."

"Woyzeck" closes Clarion University theatre season
by Emily Wilson
Lifestyles Writer
"Woyzeck," an unfinished play
by Georg Buchner closed the
"Season of Classics" perfor-
mances by the Clarion University
of Pennsylvania Theatre
Department. The play was per-
formed April 23-27 in the
Marwick-Boyd Little Theatre.
"Buchner was 23 years old
when he died in 1832, leaving
this play unfinished," says
Robert Levy, assistant professor
of speech communication and
theatre and director of the play.
"He was teaching comparitive
biology at the University of
Zurich when he died from
typhus. There are six or seven
valid versions of the production
and we will be using one based
on a translation by Eric Bentley.
The play is one of the more
important plays of the 19th cen-
tury because of it's influence on
early 20th century playwrights,"
comments Levy. Levy has set
this splendid performance in
Germany, 1958, where parallels
with Buchner 's 1832 experiences
can be found. Buchner pulled the
background of "Woyzeck" from
actual events, becoming hooked
on medical records of a historical
figure, Woyzeck, who is tried and
convicted of murdering his mis-
tress. "The play is primarily
about Woyzeck's breakdown and
loss of reality," says Levy. "He
bounces from depression to
manic. He deals with others in an
alternate view of reality."
I had a chance to see the play
and Clarion University's Theatre
did and excellent job of casting
for this play. The costumes,
designed by Lisa Davis, take you
back to a village in the
Mecklenberg Region of the
German Democratic Republic.
The opening scene was spectacu-
lar as The Captain & Company
marched onto a dark stage hold-
ing fire torches and singing 'The
Internationale."

"Woyzeck" closed the theatre season. Pictured above are:
Chris Catalano (back), Nya Watkins and Robert Bullington.
Rob Bullington, an assistant pro-
fessor of Speech Communication
and Theatre. Completing the cast
are: Ryan Cummings as Andres,
Woyzeck's friend, Partrick M.
McGroarty as the bar singer/sol-
dier, Brian Buchan as a black
marketer/soldier/carnival per-
former, Sarah Williams as the
grandmother, Tonnie Anderson
as Kattrin, and Kirstie Belles,
Elizabeth Linnan and Michelle
Kilbert as townspeople. The
sound designer was Valarie
Carter and the Production stage
manager was Dawn Marie
Snyder. Speech Communication
and Theatre faculty member
Edward J. Powers was the
scenery and lighting director.
The play had outstanding atten-
dance each night of it's perfor-
mance. It was thoroughly appre-
ciated by all due to it's powerful
cast and lingering suspense of the
plot. "Woyzeck" was a great sea-
son closer for the University
Theatre. Let's hope next season
is just as compelling!

Thinking about Camping and Lewis and Clark by Dave Barry
Spring is here, and I'm thinking
about camping. Don't misunder-
stand me:Tm not thinking about
actually GOING camping, in the
sense of venturing outdoors and
tr.mlng my body into an All-U-
Can-Eat buffet for insects. I'm
just thinking about camping.
What got me on this topic is a
book I'm reading, called
"Undaunted Courage," by
Stephen E. Ambrose, about the
ultimate camping trip: the Lewis
and Clark expedition. If you're a
product of the U.S. educational
system, you no doubt remember
this historic endeavor, in which a
tiny band (they didn't even have
a keyboard player) set out in
three tiny ships - the "Nina, " the
"Pinta" and the 'Merrlmac" -
and became the first Westerners
to make the perilous voyage
around Plymouth Rock and dis-
cover the Monroe Doctrine, with-
out which the cotton gin would
never have been invented.
That's pretty much how I
remembered it, too, but the actu-
al facts, as set forth in
"Undaunted Courage," are these:
In 1803, President Thomas
Jefferson made the Louisiana
Purchase, in which he paid
France $10 million for a humon-
gous batch of land without hav-
ing any idea what was in it. Why
would Jefferson make such a pur-
chase? The answer is simple: he
didn't have a wife. There was
nobody to say to him: "You
spent $10 million for WHAT?
Take It back RIGHT NOW! ! ' '
Guys without wives are always
making Impulse purchases that
border on the Insane. If hang
gliders had been invented in
1803, Jefferson would have
bought one of those, too.
Anyway, the United States
found itself in possession of this
extremely large parcel of land,
and nobody knew what it con-
tained in the way of geography,
natural resources, shopping, etc.
So Jefferson sent Lewis and
Clark on an expedition to check it
out and also see if they could find
a way across the continent to the
Pacific Ocean, which Jefferson
hoped would be a better trade
route for beaver pelts bound for
the Orient. Back then, the beaver
pelts had to be transported by
river to St. Louis, then overland
to the East Coast, then by ship to
London, then by ANOTHER ship
to the Orient, where they had to
be burned Immediately because,
as you can imagine, after all that
travel they smelled like the inside
of Marlon Brando's laundry ham-
per.
"Forget it!" the Orientals
would say,"We'll just go
naked!"
So in 1804, Lewis and Clark set
out in search of a better route.
Reading about their brutally dif-
ficult, extremely dangerous trek
across the continent, I was
reminded of the summers when I
was a counselor at Camp
Sharparoon, and I used to set off,
leading a party of boys ages 10
and 11, into the vast uncharted
wilderness around Dover
Furnace, N.Y., fully aware that
we would have to survive for an
entire night with nothing to sus-
tain us except roughly 200
pounds of marshmallows, gra-
ham crackers and Hershey bars.
We used these to make the
famous campfire treat called
s'mores.' ' Sometimes we'd hook
up with a group of girl campers
and make "s'mores together; this
is when I observed a fundamental
difference between boys and
girls:
HOW GIRLS MAKE
"S'MORES" - 1) Place Hershey
bars on graham crackers; 2) toast
marshmallows; 3) place toasted
marshmallows on Hershey bars
to melt chocolate.
HOW BOYS MAKE
"S'MORES" - 1) Eat Hershey
bars; 2) eat marshmallows; 3)
throw graham crackers at other
boys.
Anyway, Lewis and Clark -
whether because of religious rea-
sons, or sheer ignorance, we shall
never know - did not take any
"s'mores" ingredients on their
expedition, so they had to survive
by shooting, and eating, things
like elk. I am deeply impressed

Love, Jen Founds
by this. I have always procured
my meat by taking a number at
the supermarket: you could leave
me out in the woods for a year
with a machine gun and an elec-
tronic Elk Detector and I'd still
never be able to shoot an elk. And
if I DID somehow manage to
shoot one, I wouldn't have a clue
how to eat it. I mean, what part
do you eat? You can definitely
rule out the eyeballs, but THEN
what? You just pick up a haunch
and start chewing? I don't even
know what a haunch is.
Guess what else Lewis and
Clark ate? Dog, that's what. In
fact, Lewis is quoted on page 32
of "Undaunted Courage" as say-
ing that - bear in mind, this is
after two solid years of camping
out - he liked dog even better
than elk.
My feeling is, you have to be
pretty desperate to eat a dog. I
mean, with elk, at least you know
they don't like you. But a dog is
going to be hanging loyally
around your camps it^ thrilled to
be there, ready to fetch' you a
stick. How can you just pick up a
frying pan and say. Here, "boy
The point is that things were
pretty rough for Lewis and Clark,
and since this year marks the
190th anniversary of their return,
I think it would be nice if
Americans commemorated their
courageous effort to open up our
continent. Perhaps some of us
will even want to pack our sleep-
ing bags and retrace their steps
through some of the still rela-
tively unspoiled wilderness they
explored. Others of us will want
to wait until there is plumbing.

The Cure releases "The 13th" and other news
by TinaMatthis
lifestyles Writer
For my last article of the semes-
ter, I decided to mix in a review
and some other rock news I have
collected. So if you're not inter-
ested in the review, skip ahead
for some shocking news (and I do
mean "shocking").
This reporter's dreams came
true last Tuesday, April 23rd,
when the first single from The
Cure's new album came out.
"The 13th" has two remixed ver-
sions of the title song, plus two
songs that will not be released on
the new album. As an avid die-
hard Cure fan, my opinion on
"The 13th" will be biased. But,
regardless, this single is nothing
short of genius. "The 13th" has a
Spanish-type sound and it's light
and fun. But the video scared
me, I mean, imagine The Cure
dressed as a mariachi band and
Robert Smith apparently married
to a transvestite.
The other two songs are
"Ocean" and "It Used To Be
Me." "Ocean" is the typical Cure
song. It drifts (must be why it's
called "Ocean," huh?) and it is
simply beautiful. It's a song of
the misunderstanding of love and
how it sometimes needs no rea-
soning. "It Used To Be Me,"
however, is almost the opposite
of "Ocean." It is more about not
living up to one's expectations,
especially your own. It's hard
(for The Cure's standards) and
the guitars have that helicopter
feel. I wish I knew the name of
that effect, sorry. But these two
songs are good enough to be put
on the album. Often times, how-
ever, The Cure loves to keep
great songs for the B-sides.
There is another single that
was released with "The 13th" and
another song not on the new
album, "Adonis." But this song
will more than likely be on "The
Crow II" soundtrack. And any-
one who read the comic book
knows the soundtrack would not
be complete without a Cure song
on it.
The new album, "Wild Mood
Swings," is due in stores on May
7th. According to their home-
page, the album is supposed to
sound much like "The Head on
the Door" and "Kiss Me, Kiss
Me, Kiss Mo." The Cure will
also be the musical guest on
Saturday Night Live on May
11th. So Cure fans, set your
VCR because this will be The
Cure's U.S. TV debut.
Onto other rock news, I
promised you information on
Jeremy Enigk's solo album. The
ex-lead singer of the disbanded
Sunny Day Real Estate will be
releasing his debut solo album on
July 23rd, called "Return of the
Frog Queen." If it's anything like
his work with SDRE, it should be
great.
The Deftones will make a guest
appearance in the upcoming
"Crow II" movie as "the band"
and will be releasing a new ver-
sion of "Teething" (released ear-
lier on the B-side of "7 Words")
on the soundtrack. They will also
be on special dates of the Warped
Tour, which is a plethora of hard
core music. One note though: I
have to correct myself from an
earlier article. I had said that the
song, "Words" used the f-word a
lot, when, in fact, he is saying
"suck" all through the song.
Sorry for the foul-up.
For all you Face to Face fans,
their new album should be out
late this summer. It will be self-
titled, and it should be as great as
their past albums.
This is the shocking news.
Those with heart problems
should skip to the next paragraph.
The Misfits are on tour and will
be releasing a new album very
soon. I don't know how to feel
about this, considering they
haven't done anything since
around 1983. They have a new
drummer, Dr. Chud, and a new
singer Michale Graves. This
doesn't come as much as a sur-
prise, since Glen Danzig has
never wanted anything to do with
the Misfits since their breakup
over a decade ago. They will be
in Cleveland on May 12th, for
anyone who's interested. But
this reporter probably won't go,
since I'd like to keep the memory
of their greatness in my head and
not have it ruined by a bunch of
old guys trying to relive their
punk days. I believe that punk
rock died with the mid-80's, and
there's no room for impostors
(such as Green Day, the
Offspring, and their dreadful
cohorts).
Lastly, and most horribly, the
Lollapalooza Tour is upon us
once again. This is probably the
worst so far. On the main stage
will be Metallica (since when
were they alternative?),
Soundgarden (wait, weren't they
already on about 4 years ago?),
and the Ramones (how long is
their farewell tour going to last?).
Special guest will be Rancid,
ShaoLin Monks, Screaming
Trees, and Psychotica. But I
have to say, through all of this
disembowelment of the once spe-
cial tour for freaks, three cheers
to Perry Farrell for finally skip-
ping out on the tour and quitting
altogether with it's band deci-
sions. It is about time. But I'll
spare you, dear reader, with my
opinion on how much
Lollapaloser, oh, I mean
Lollapalooza, bites.
All of this information came
from Netscape, so if you want to
find out when your favorite band
is coming out with a new album,
or just general info, try it. It's
very easy, I mean, come on, I got
into it, and I'm not too bright
when it comes to computers. It's
free too, which makes it even bet-
ter.
Anyways, have a great summer,
and remember, even if it's not
your kind of music, at least give
it a shot. What's it going to hurt?
Later days!

sic album contains Neil's tradi-
tional harmonica, vocals, and the
mellow side of his music.
The album begins with the mel-
low, depressing song," Out on the
Weekend." This song is per-
formed with the Stray Gators and
contain classic harmonica. The
title track, 'Harvest" is next. This
song is also performed with the
Stray Gators, and continues the
depressing tone of the CD. The
London Symphonic Orchestra
joins Neil on "A Man Needs a
Maid." This song is about a man
searching for a maid as the title
suggests. I think that the maid is
as much for companionship as if
it is for the cleaning since his
love has left and he wonders
"When will I see you again?"
"Heart of Gold" is more
upbeat, at least for this album,
although it is mellow by most
standards. This song is also per-
formed with the Stray Gators and
has additional vocals from Linda
Ronstadt and James Taylor. The
album continues its "upbeat"
tone with "Are You Ready for the
Country." This is another of the
songs he performs with the Stray
Gators, and has additional vocals
from David Crosby and Graham ~
Nash. This song is about doing
what you have to do before you
run out of time.
"Old Man" is my personal
favorite on this album, although
it is a difficult choice among
these great songs. It is a very
depressing song about needing
love, while all he has is the old
man he confides in. It is really
difficult for him to be alone,
especially when he has "a par-
adise that makes me think of
two."
The album continues with
"There's a World" which is also
played with the London
Symphonic Orchestra.
"Alabama" is another song uti-
lizing the talents of the Stray
Gators, David £rosby, and
Stephen Stills. "The Needle and
the Damage Done" is another of
my personal favorites on this
album. This sad song deals with a
junkie, and how "every junkie is
like a setting sun." This song
deserves to be the classic that it
is. "Words Between the Lines of
Age" concludes the album with
more performances from the
Stray Gators, Stephen Stills, and
David Crosby.
This album is, as I said before,
one of my favorites of all time. It
is far from happy, as is expected
of Neil Young, but that does not
take away from the greatness of
the album, but in fact adds more
to it.

A Commentary on Greek Week
by Kelly Gregory
Greek Writer
GreekWeek has been a tradition
on Clarion University's campus
for years. This is a time for all
Greeks to come together and cel-
ebrate the unity of the entire
Greek community.
Greek Week is set aside for all
Greeks on a college campus to
get together and participate in
events such as: Greek sing, vol-
leyball, swim, Olympics, softball,
and a trivia bowl.
Each fraternity and sorority
selects a member from their orga-
nization to be a representative of
Greek Week.
The individuals in charge of
Greek Week are selected by the
Interfraternity Council and the
Panhellenic Council.
This years co-chairs were Joe
Lemley, a member of the Sigma
Pi fraternity and Maureen
Wissner, a member of the Zeta
Tau Alpha sorority.
This years Greek Week events
consisted of volleyball, scholas-
tic bowl, sing, community ser-
vice, women's and men's
Olympics, banner competition,
long distance run, swim, and
men's weightlifting.
The Greek Week Chairs from
every fraternity and sorority,
were appointed to hold a vice-
chair. This years vice-chairs,
were, Rayna Liegey 0OA,
Alissa Miller ZTA, Laura
Mohney ZTA, Anni Olsen
AIA, Laura Callen Oil,
Rebecca Kelley A4>E, and Gina
Angelicchio AZ These women
were in charge of one event,
which were volleyball,
Scholastic Bowl, sing, communi-
ty service, and Women's
Olympics.
Brett Baumgartle III, Steve
Palmer OIK, Bill Wightman
4>A0, Jerry Varich ITT, Jeff
Levkulich KAP, and Dave Hast
OIK were the vice-chairs for the
events of banner competition,
long distance run, swim, lift, and
men's Olympics.
When asked how they thought
Greek Week went overall mostly
everyone said it turned out pretty
well, but the events were not as
well organized as in previous
years.
Maureen Wissner, co-chair, said
she felt everyone enjoyed them-
selves and had fun. She also felt
Greek Week went well. Carey
Fahy, member of Sigma Sigma
Sigma sorority said, "(she) did
not like how Greek Week was
split up with sing in March, then
the rest of the events in April. It
is Greek Week, not Greek Month
or Greek Day, here and there."
Another concern about Greek
Week is the amount of competi-
tion present during the events. ,
Bill McDowell, a brother of
Theta Chi said, "Have pride in
your fraternity or sorority. This
will lessen the competion
between the organizaions. "
A minority opinion expressed
by some members of the Greek
community is that the Greek
Week competition brings every-
one together.
When asked if she thought the
rules were fair, co-chair, Wissner
said, "the rules were fair and
every orgainzaion was given an
opportunity to change them at
the Greek Week meetings."
The people who felt that the
rules were unfair need to under-
stand that it was not the rules, but
the enforcement of them that was
lacking.
Another suggestion made to
improve the activities of the
week was to have all activities
run by non-Greek volunteers.
People feel that this would do a
lot to alleviate the competion and
would make the week more fun
for everyone.
I feel that this year's Greek

Brothers of Sigma Tau Gamma pulled with all their strength to win first the rope pull
event.

Week was less competetive, but it
was not as well organized as it
has been. Also, people tended to
forget that Joe and Maureen are
only two people and they have a
lot of responsibility placed on
them.
By talking to them I have
learned that they did their best to
make everyone happy.
I feel that Greek Week is our
opportunity as Greeks to show
the people not involved in our
organizaions just how well we
get along, and what Greeks are
all about.
As a senior member of a soror-
ity, I realize that Greek is not just
for the week, it is for a lifetime.
We need to work together to help
each other out and have fun.
Overall Greek Week standings
for the men are as follows:
*Jst Place-ZTT-96 points.
*2nd Place-QZK-91 points.
*3rd Place-<PA0-9O points.

Four seniors to plav last game
Golden Eagles close season Saturday at SRU
By Tim Rafalski
Sports Writer
This Saturday four Clarion
seniors will take to the field for
the last time as Golden Eagles.
Next season head coach Rich
Herman will be looking to
replace two starting outfielders
and two starting pitchers, both
from the starting rotation.
A three-year starter in left, Chad
McCombs from Sharon, PA
leaves Clarion with 110 career
hits and a .324 career average.
McCombs, a quality defensive
player who can flat out hit was
the Golden Eagles leader in hits
in 1995 with 30. With four
games remaining in 1996,
McCombs again leads Clarion in
hits with 35.
As a two-year starter in right,
Chris Skultety led the Golden
Eagles with stolen bases as a
junior in 1995 and has only been
caught once this season.
With four games remaining
Skultety, from Kittaning PA, is
having his strongest season with
22 hits and a .324 average. Not
only will the baseball team miss
him, Skultety also tallied 1,265
yards and 8 touchdowns as a
wide receiver for the Golden
Eagle football team.
A reliever and closer in 1995,
Scott Feldman from Brookville,
PA moved to the starting rotation
in '96. Last season Feldman
recorded 15 strikeouts in 15
innings to go along with his 3
saves. A second team PSAC-
West selection a year ago,
Feldman ranked among PS AC
leaders with a 0.91 ERA. With
two more teams to face in '96,
Feldman has notched two confer-
ence victories and 20 strikeouts
giving him 45 total for his three-
year career.
Also from the starting rotation,
Clarion bids a farewell to Jason
Knight from Erie, PA. Knight, a
three-year scholar athlete led the
Golden Eagles with 32 strikeouts
in '94, 41 in '95 and currently has
36 with four games remaining.
"JK'"s career numbers include
138.3 innings pitched and 126
career strikeouts. Knight will be
going for his tenth career victory
this week.
This past weekend Clarion
hooked up with I.U.P. for a dou-
bleheader and also to finish a
game that was called due to dark-
ness from earlier in the season.
After being tied at five for seven
innings, play resumed in the bot-
tom of the eighth when Chris
Skultety singled and scored on
Jeremy Young's two out double
giving the Golden Eagles a 8-7
victory.
Scott Feldman got the win for
Clarion, pitching the final two
and two thirds, striking out two.
Shortstop Phil Pegher collected
two hits and three RBI's while
Jeremy Young finished with two
hits and the game winning RBI.
Senior Jason Knight started the
eight inning affair going five and
one thirds innings striking out
five.
In game one of the doublehead-
er, Indiana needed four extra
innings to beat Clarion, 8-5.
Feldman remained on the mound
for the start of game one, giving
up three runs on four hits through
five complete innings.
Down 3-0 in the fifth, the
Golden Eagles got consecutive
singles by Young and Don
Schmidt who was followed by
senior Chad McCombs with a
two run triple. McCombs then
crossed the plate on a Ryan
Keenan sac fly.
Six innings later, Indiana scored
five runs in the top of the
eleventh taking an 8-3 lead. In
the bottom half of the eleventh
Pegher walked then after a
Skultety single, Young cut the
lead to three with a two RBI dou-
ble making the score 8-5 but
that's as close as Clarion got in
the first of two with conference
rival I.U.P.
The loss went to Ron Talik who
threw five innings giving up two
runs on only one hit. "Mutley
and Talik both pitched great, nei-
ther of them deserved to get the
loss," remarked head coach Rich
Herman. Skultety, Young, and
McCombs combined for seven
hits while junior Bill Bates fin-
ished with two singles.
Game two of the doubleheader
saw senior lefty Jason Knight
take to the mound on way to a
complete game, 9-1 victory. The
Golden Eagles sent ten men to
Clarion travels to Slippery Rock this Saturday.
the plate in the fifth frame scor- the scoring for Clarion bringing
ing six runs. Scott Weir's solo
home run started things off tying
it up at one.
Then after a Pegher single and
four consecutive walks junior
Don Biertempfel lined a two out
double scoring three runs making
it 6-1 Clarion.
The Golden Eagle bats did not
stop there. Clarion struck for
three more in the sixth. After a
Weir walk, an Indiana error, and
a walk to Skultety, sophomore
Jeremy Young singled scoring
two. Don Schmidt rounded out
Skultety home with a sacrifice
fly.

Lady Golden Eagles end season
By Ben Keen
Sports Editor Elect
With the season winding down,
the Lady Golden Eagles were out
for a little revenge last week in an
attempt to close out their season
on a positive note. Their woes
continued however as they
dropped their last six games. The
week started off with the team
traveling to California to play the
undefeated PSAC leader. In a
game where the Eagles played
good defense and had solid pitch-
ing, their bats betrayed them as
they were only able to get one hit
each game. They lost the double-
header to Cal 9-0 and 8-0. After
a disappointing trip to Cal, the
Lady Eagles returned home to
take on Lock Haven . Again, the
Lady Eagles were strong but lost
7-5 and 6-1. The team then
turned their attention to IUP
when they were to make up last
Thursday's rained out double-
header. Once again, the Lady
Eagles seemed ready to win but
could not get the clutch hits when
they needed them and lost 3-1
and 6-1.
"What hurt us most this year
was inconsistency. When we
were hot, we were hot. We just
got into some slumps at bad
times." stated first year head
coach Gerri Condo. She is very
optimistic about next season and
is anxious for it to start already.
"We need to work on our hittting.
We hit a lot inside but when we
moved outside we stopped hitting
as much." said Condo. With all
but two starters returning the
team should be able to contend in
the PSAC West. "We have both
our pitchers back, Sonya and
Kelly; Stephanie Hoffman and
Julie Catalano will be returning
as well. Our recruiting is going
well also." commemted Condo.
With the nucleus returning the
Lady Eagles will be expecting
big things. Returning pitcher
Sonya Hafer said, "Last season
was disappointing because we
always seemed to come up a little
short, we could have been so
much better. We are losing three
players but if we work hard over
the summer and come back ready
to play we will be alright."
To conclude their season the
Lady Eagles had an award cere-
mony where the team voted
Stephanie Hoffman as the teams
MVP. "She really did an out-
standing job for us all season,"
said Condo. After receiving her
MVP award Stephanie Hoffman
said, "I'm kind of dissappointed
with this season. I felt we could
have done better. Our defense
this year was unstopable. If we
improve our hitting and the fresh-
man step up I think we can com-
pete and make the playoffs. I
wish we were there now."
Other awards were given out
for most RBI's, team spirit, work
ethic, and so on. When asked to
remark on the past season Coach
Condo said, "It's sad to see the
season end the way it did. This
was the best team we ever had,
although our record doesn't indi-
cate it." The Lady Eagles fin-
ished 5-21 overall and 1-15 in the
PSAC.

The Last Will and Testament of the Penalty Box
By Steve Wagner
Sports Writer
Welcome to the last installment
of the Penalty Box, where Marge
Schott keeps her anti-christ out-
fit. That's right, this is the last
installment of the Penalty Box.
Long ago I made a will in case
something like this might hap-
pen. Let's open it up and see who
gets something courtesy of the
Box: The Penalty Box of sound
mind and body, wills
Bam Morris and Michael Irvin :
good attorneys. I recommend
Jerry Jones' legal guy.
The Pittsburgh Penguins and
Philadelphia Fivers : A chance
to meet in the Eastern
Conference finals. They have
deserved it all year, and the win-
ner gets a shot at puny Detroit.
Dennis Rodman: the chance to
color Phil Jackson's hair and
pierce Michael Jordan anywhere
above the waist.
Marge Schott : the ability to quit
walking on her hands so we can
see her real face instead of that
thing she calls her face.
John Calipari: the national
championship next year...ooops,
Camby's gone. We'll see what
we can do.
The Seattle Supersonics: A shot
at the finals. ..well, how about a
first round victory?
NBA referees : President
Clinton's extra body guards.
Phil Plant : A Steeler victory in
the Super Bowl after a 51-0
blowout win over the New York
Jets in the AFC Championship
game.
Kraig Koelsch : The color man
position beside Bill Hilgrove
after Myron Cope retires.
Greg Norman; A Masters win
in sudden death over Nick Faldo,
Larry Mize, etc, etc.
Clarion Football Team : A 1996
PSAC Championship and unde-
feated season.
"Buster" from St. Petersburg :
His own franchise of Italian
Ice/Bocce Ball establishments in
the greater Pittsburgh area.
Lara Sabo : The job of head
sports producer at NBC sports,
you deserve it.
The Pallas Cowboys: NOTH-
ING
The Clarion Men's Basketball
Team : A 7'3", 315 lb. center
from anywhere with four years of
eligibility.
Tom Barrasso and Ken
Wregg ett: two goal areas on
each end at the Civic Arena next
year so you can both play.
Charles Desh : Orioles tickets to
the World Series.
Chuck Pemko : A chance to go
one-on-one with Bill Wennington
and Luc Longley.
Mv girlfriend : the wisdom to
understand her sports-crazed
boyfriend. That might take a
while, I'm quite a case.
Rvan Lascher : Some money to
pursue the NASCAR circiut.
Three Rivers Stadium: grass
Majgr League Baseball:
Performance-based salaries.
Charles Barkjey: Four other
players around him who don't get
injured.
Clarion Call Staff members:
$50,000 salary jobs at the
Washington Post, NY Times, etc.
Good luck to you all and I will
miss you.
Well, there you have it. I would
like to thank everyone who faith-
fully read this column and
enjoyed it. I hope that sports and
the people who run, influence,
and play sports keep it just
that... .a sport. So long from the
Penalty Box.
Track teams prepare for PSAC's
By Chris Pfeil
Sports Writer
Once again, Clarion's Track
teams had to battle mother nature
when they made the trip to
Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday for
the Baldwin- Wallace College
Invitational.
"Baldwin-Wallace is one of our
biggest meets. They have a fast
track, but the coldness and
swirling winds neutralized that,"
said Coach Pat Mooney. Despite
the elements, Clarion saw some
outstanding performances.
Mooney added, "Not only did we
have our share of place- winners,
we had a good number of athletes
who had personal-best days."
Although the women's team
had no first place finishers, they
did place in four events. Debbie
Brostmeyer took fourth in the
800m run with a time of 2:23.35.
Sarah Lutz a 1:02.61, which was
good for sixth in the 400 meter
dash. The 4x400 relay team of
Lutz, Brostmeyer, Danielle Kifer,
and senior Lynn Baluh continued

their extraordinary year by taking
seventh (4:24.00). Despite being
rushed through her throws, Lori
Dando continued to build on
what has turned out to be a stellar
freshman year. Dando finished
eighth in the discus with a toss of
118'6". Dando credits her team-
mates and coaches for her suc-
cess. "My teammates and coach-
es are the best. I love being a part
of this team. Everyone has been
there to encourage and help me,"
she said. Dando is currently
seeded sixth for PSAC's and is a
national hopeful. "I've worked
hard this year, and if I have a
good day at PSAC's I think I can
win. As far as nationals, there are
no words to explain what it
would mean to go as a fresh-
man," she added.
The men's team exploded
Saturday, led by sprinter Thorn
Swenson. Swenson won the
400m dash (48.9) and tied for
first in the 200m dash with
Youngstown State's Kafi
Owusuansah (21.89). Swenson,
a junior, is excited for the upcom-
ing PSAC's. "My times have
improved and all my hard work is
paying off," he said. Swenson
feels like he is prepared to make
a run at a PSAC title. "I am men-
tally ready and focused. I'm
looking forward to the opportuni-
ty," he added. In the long jump
Clarion's Brian Fields jumped
21'7" to take fourth place. Marc
McConnell took second place in
the high jump, leaping 6'4". In

steeple chase with a time of

team of Eget, Fields, Swenson,
and Mark Neiburg brought home
fifth place (44.09). Swenson
commented, "We juggled the
order and worked on our hand-
offs last week. It really paid off."
Clarion will compete at Lock
Haven on Saturday to prepare for
PSAC's on May 11 at Kutztown.
According to Mooney, "The hard
work is over. We're waiting for
the weather man to cooperate
now. I think all of our work will
pay off at PSAC's." The rebuild-
ing process of Clarion track is
now in full swing. They may
send as many as 15 athletes to
PSAC's , but there has also been
a vast improvement through out.

A Special Note
on Intramurals
By Doug Knepp
Intramural/Recreation Director
As the school year comes to an
end, I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all of the
students who participated in the
Intramural/Recreation program.
We crowned champions in 15
different events this semester,
and close to 1,000 students par-
ticipated. I believe everybody
that got involved had a positive
experience.
We started giving tee shirts as
awards this year and students
seem to enjoy displaying their
accomplishments.
If you were a winner be sure to
stop in the office to pick up your
shirt before you go home. We
have a full slate of activities
scheduled for next year. If you
have any comments or would like
to see anything added to the pro-
gram, stop in the office at Tippin
room 117.
We will also be having several
events during the summer ses-
sions which will include compet-
itive and leisure activities.
Also forming now is the
Intramural/Recreation Advisory
Board which is open to interested
students. For more information
call extension x2349. (226-2349)
The softball season has been
hindered by the bad weather, but
hopefully we can get the tourna-
ment played before school is out.
Again, thank you for your par-
ticipation, and see ya next year!

The Sweet Smell of Pine Tar
By Bill Sinclair
Guest Analyst
AL EAST
5TH Toronto Blue Jays
After back to back World
Championships in "92 and '93. the
Blue Jays have been less than pro-
ductive. They lost nearly every
player from those teams, and main-
stays such as Joe Carter and John
Olerud aren't nearly as productive as
they once were. The Jays are in a
rebuilding process, and may repeat
as the majors worst team again in
'96.
4TH Detroit Tigers
As they do every year, the Tigers
will enter '96 with no pitching. The
Tigers have lacked pitching since the
mid-80's when Jack Morris and Dan
Petry manned the hill. The Tigers
aren't much better than the Blue
Jays, however new manager Buddy
Bell brings a young, agressive atti-
tude to the squad. Cecil Fielder
finally will stop getting pitched
around due to the acquasition of
power hitting Phil Plantier. Along
with Fielder and Plantier, the Tigers
have Travis Fryman and Chad Curtis,
that's about it. To add insult to
injury, the Tigers have no prospects.
3RD Boston Red Sox
The BoSox won the division a year
ago, but wasn't as productive as New
York and Baltimore in the free agent
market. Boston did aquire catcher
Mike Stanley and closer Heathcliff
Slocumb which will surely help
them. But will Tun Wakefield have
the effective knuckleball that was
fading away at the end of last sea-
son? Will Jose Canseco stay healthy
long enough to prove he can be one
of the elite hitters in baseball? If the
Red Sox can positively answer these
questions, the AL East will produce a
very exciting race.
2ND New York Yankees
The Yankees did as they do every
off-season, spent loads of money.
They went out and got first baseman
Tino Martinez, outfielder Tim
Raines, and pitcher Kenny Rogers,
along with giving David Cone $6.5
million a year. The Yankees look
good on paper, but it seems every
year George Steinbrenner can't put
together a championship team; no
matter how much money he spends.
1ST Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles had an impressive off-
season, which will most likely put
them in the postseason. The O's
picked up third baseman B.J.
Surhoff, second baseman Roberto
Alomar, and two lefties David Wells
and Kent Mercker. For most teams
that's a whale of a nucleus; but for
the '96 Orioles that's just the begin-

ing. Ironman Cal Ripken continues
his Hall of Fame career, and first
baseman Rafael Palmeiro, who
smacked 39 konks last season, will
push for MVP honors. That's not all,
outfielder Bobby Bonilla is a steady
.300 hitter who will hit 25 to 30
deep-dongs a year, and catcher Chris
Hoiles will rebound this year to crack
close to 30 long balls. The pitching
staff will produce a likely Cy Young
candidate in righty Mike Mussina.
Mussina, who hails from
Montoursville, PA, was 19-9- last
year and boasted a 3.29 ERA, and
will only improve this year behind
the majors best offense. And to top
things off, Randy Myers will take
over as closer. Myers shut the door
down on opponents 38 times last sea-
son. The O's look to be the best team
in baseball this year, and they will be
tough to stop.
AL Central
5TH Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers stink. In fact I 'm
struggling to find anything good to
write about them. Kevin Seitzer bat-
ted .311 last season, and the acquired
an ailling Ben McDonald. Speedster
Chuck Carr batted .229 last year, but
thieved 25 bases. Manager Phil
Garner was part of the 1979
Pittsburgh Pirates who won the
World Series.
4TH Minnesota Twins
The Twins severly lack a pitching
staff, but have a pretty strong line up.
Kirby Puckett hit .314 with 23 fence
clearers, and they acquired Paul
Molitor who had an off season, but
comes home to play, and should
improve. Rookie of the year Marty
Cordova has to avoid the sophomore
jinx to help the Twins be competi-
tive. Chuck Knoblauch is a steady
competitor at second, and is a guar-
anted all-star.
3RD Knsas City Royals
The Royals don't have much flash
in '96 , but should be a decent ball
club. Kevin Appier is a solid starter,
and among the upper echelon of AL
starters. Mark Gubiza will also be a
steady pitcher in KC's line up.
Second baseman Bip Roberts comes
over from San Diego, and will likely
bat lead off. The Royals won't com-
pete for the division, but may have a
shot at a Wild Card spot.
2ND Chicago White Sox
The Sox had a dissapointing season
a year ago and did little in the off-
season to prevent that from happen-
ing again, albeit they have a making
for a good ball club. Wilson Alvarez
and Jason Bere had awful seasons,
and need to rebound. Alex
Fernandez performed well and
should continue with his sucess.
When the Sox step up to the plate
they have a pretty formidable line up.
Frank Thomas is the majors most
feared slugger. The Big Hurt wal-
loped 40 dongs last year while hitting
.308. To complement Thomas, the
Sox have third baseman Robin
Ventura, and speedy second baseman
Ray Durham. The Sox probably
won't touch the Indians, but are very
strong contenders for the Wild Card.
1ST Cleveland Indians
The Tribe will continue its winning
ways in 1996. They have baseball's
best outfield in Albert Belle (50
HRs), Kenny Lofton (.310 54 SBs),
and Manny Ramirez (3 1 deeps). To
go along with the outfield is All-Star
second baseman Carlos Baerga, for-
ever young Eddie Murray, and Jim
Thome (.314, 25 HRs). The rotation
was bolstered with Jack McDowell,
but aging veterens such as Orel
Hershiser and Dennis Martinez must
stay healthy and productive to give
the Tribe another AL pennant. Jose
Mesa will prove he can handle the
closer role once again in 1996.
ALWEST
4TH Oakland A's
The A's all migrated to the St. Louis
Cardinals with manager Tony La
Russa. They are in a rebuilding
process for the next few years and
will likely end up in the AL West
basement. Mark McGwire, if
healthy, can hit about 50 moon shots
a year. But can he stay healthy?
3RD Texas Rangers
The Rangers are a home run fans
favorite team, Mickey Tettalton (32
rips), Juan Gonzalez (27 konks),
along with Dean Palmer, Will Clark,
and Pudge Rodriguez all can stick
the ball over the fence. Now the only
problem with the Rangers is their
pitching staff stinks. Though they
did acquire Ken Hill, no other starter
had a winning record. Texas goes yet
another year without making the post
season.
2ND California Angels
The Angels have dinger potential as
well. Jim Edmonds and Tim Salmon
each smacked over 30 homers, and
Chili Davis and J.T Snow ripped
over 20. The only difference is the
Angels have a pitching staff. Jim
Abbott, Chuck Finley, and Mark
Langston give the Angels a trio of
excellent lefties. Big Lee Smith (37
saves) will hold down the bull pen.
Gary DiSarcina and Garret Anderson
will need to repeat last years perfor-
mances for the Angels to surpass the
Mariners.
1ST Seattle Mariners
The Mariners have an excellent
pitching staff this season. Randy
Johnson has joined Greg Maddux in
that nearly unhittable pitcher catego-
ry. Along with Johnson is Chris
Bosio and Sterling Hitchcock.
Youngster Bob Wolcott proved he
could pitch in the big leagues when
he performed so well in last year's
playoffs.
On the offensive side of the dia-
mond, Ken Griffey will be in the
Mariners line up all season after a
wrist injury last year. In 72 games
Griffey hit 17 homers. Jay Buhner
hit 40 shots last year to go along with
121 RBIs. Paul Sorrento will take
over for the departed Tino Martinez,
Sorrento hit .235 wtih 25 home runs
last year.
Shunned from the MVP a year ago,
DH Edgar Martinez will prove the
voters wrong when he hits near .370
and strokes over 30 dingers.
The race between the Mariners and
the Angels will be an interesting bat-
tle.
So lets get ready to PLAY BALL.
The Sports Editor of the Clarion Call would like to thank the follow-
ing people: Tim Rafalski, Chris Pfeil, Ben Keen, Bill Sinclair, Steve

Laying it on the line
By Kraig Koelsch
Retiring Sports Editor
The end of the semester and the
end of my time as Sports Editor
brings about what could possibly
be the last edition of "Laying it
on the line." No, I'm not retiring
from sports writing, I'm just
going to be greatly absorbed in
my classes next semester so I
must step aside.
•How about the Penguins? I
predicted them in seven, but they
won it in six. Oh well, close but
no cigar. The Penguins stepped it
up and got the job done when it
mattered the most.
Mario Lemieux and the rest of
the gang answered the call and
the Pens are moving on to face
the New York Rangers.
In a radio interview yesterday,
Rangers Coach Colin Campbell
said the Penguins had "crybabies
and soft players," without nam-
ing names.
I wonder if he was refering to
Sergei Zubov and Petr Nedved.
Listen here Campbell, your team
doesn't have a prayer. The
Penguins will easily defeat the
Rangers, possibly in as few as
five games. (Notice I'm steering
away from predictions)
For Campbell to say the
Penguins have soft players and
cry babies just shows that the
Rangers are intimidated before
the series has even begun.
In case anyone wanted to know,
Mark Messier and a lot of the
Rangers stars such as Ulf
Samuelsson are always shaken
up or hurt. If anyone has soft
players Campbell it's your
Rangers.
Get a grip, the Pens should, and
I stress the word should, move on
to the Eastern Conference finals
to play the winner of the Flyers-
Panthers series.
• Many people criticized the
Pens two top scorers, Mario
Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr for
not scoring goals in the Pens-
Caps series. Who the hell are
you?
In case you forgot, hockey not
to mention all sports are team
sports. There is no I in the word
team. Lemieux is tied for second
in playoff scoring, and Jagr is
tied for third.
Regardless of whether they
scored 50 goals is not the point.
The point is that the Pens won the
series and advanced to the next
round. Case closed.
• Does anyone think Francois
LeRoux can net another goal in
the playoffs? If so, there is a
bridge for sale in Brooklyn, and
I'm told you can get a pretty
good deal on it. This pug has no
reason to be on the penalty
killing unit, and although he is a
physical presence, his ice time
should be limited.
• Just in case you wanted to
know, Scotland is in first place in
the World League of American
Football, otherwise known as
WLAF, or "We Laugh."
• Does anyone actually think
the Bulls can be beaten? This
team is absolutely incredible and
Jordan and the boys appear ready
to return to the top of the NBA's
elite. But, I will not go against
what I wrote earlier, so thus, no
prediction will be offered.
• How about Kobe Bryant?
Bryant, a 6-foot-6 forward from
Lower Merion, PA is skipping
college and leaping straight into
the NBA. Bryant was the all-
time top scorer in southeastern
Pennsylvania with 2,883 points,
averaging 31 his senior year.
It should be interesting, to say
the least, if Bryant can do any-
thanks to coy ab srapp:
NaTohe Buauno
Mike McKelvy
&
Srephanie Mowww
-Jen
thing at all in the NBA next year.
Kevin Gamett did alright so far
this season, but he has a long way
to go. Bryant might not be able
to do as well, but only time will
tell. No one asked me, but I
wouldn't select him with a lottery
pick if I was an NBA general
manager.
• Is Jerome Bettis a steal or
what? The Steelers gave up their
second and fourth-round picks in
the past draft and received the
Rams third-round pick.
Bettis, along with the signings
of Will Wolford, Bernard Dafney,
Tom Myslinski, and the drafting
of Jamian Stephens will revital-
ize the Steelers running offense.
Another interesting point is that
with the third-round selection the
Steelers acquired from the Rams,
they selected outside linebacker
Steve Conley from Arkansas.
Head Coach Bill Cowher called
Conley to congratulate him on
his selection. Conley promptly
congratulated Cowher on select-
ing the "Best linebacker in the
draft."
Pretty confident for a third-
round pick, but you've got to like
his attitude.
Back to Bettis. If this guy
returns back to his form, the
Steelers-Rams Bettis trade could
go down as one of the biggest
rip-offs since the Indians lost
Manhattan.
•My only question about the
Pirates is: Are the relief pitchers
allowed to get anyone out?
The pathetic efforts given by
the Buccos bullpen as a whole
really makes me sick. It seems as
if none of the goats know how to
get an out.
Dan Miceli either gives up a
home run, or strikes his guy out.
That's not a very good trade off.
I once thought Dan Plesac still
had some good stuff, but I am
wrong. I don't think he could get
a pitcher out right now.
Francisco Cordova? This stain
belongs back in the Mexican
League, and Jason Christiansen
is an absolute disgrace.
I feel bad for the starters,
because everyone thought the
starters would struggle, but just
the opposite happened. The
starters have done a tremendous
job, and it's a shame that the
bullpen fails most every time.
Don't be surprised if Pirates
starters lead the league in innings
pitched because unfortunately the
only way the Buccos will win is
by scoring a lot of runs, and get-
ting a complete game effort from
the starting pitcher game after
game.
• On a local sports note, the
University Inn's (U.I.) au..
team, under head coac
"Nut" Cotterman , will def r :
improve on last seasons re.
Provided that pitcher .
"C.P." Recklein keeps the ba
the park. It is rumored that
long ball from last year hasn ,
landed yet.
•I may shock a few people here,
but let's talk some NASCAR.
Jeff Gordon is the best driver on
the circuit today. He will go
down as the greatest driver of all-
time, and he's only a baby.
•Who knows? This could be
the last point made in "Laying it
on the line." I can't even tell you,
my readers, how much it means
each and every time you
approached me and expressed
your views on my column.
I enjoy hearing your comments
more than you can ever imagine
and I thank you all.
I now retire as Sports Editor to
devote more time to my studies.
But, I have accepted the position
of Managing Editor for the Call
next semester, so to Lay it on the
line, who knows, maybe I'll
come out of retirement and make
a special appearance in the sports
section.
Until then, as I always say:
Have a good one, stay low, and
keep wheeling.
