In a statement issued on
Tuesday, President Diane
Reinhard said, "Our hearts go out
to the victims of today's tragedies
across the United States. The
Clarion University administration
team is closely monitor-
ing the situation at the
local, state and national
levels.
"We need to come
together as an education-
al community and offer
W™ all the support that is
— ours to give to friends
and family affected by
this tragedy."
Reinhard requested that
classes continue as
planned but many teach-
ers cancelled classes so
their students could
watch the days events
unfold on news pro-
f|%^ grams. If teachers didn't
.^M cancel class many took
the time to discuss the
events with students.
"I definitely thought it
was necessary to deal
with events of the last 24
hours, both because my
students want to be
media professionals and
this has been a wrenching psycho-
logical experience for everyone,"
Dr. Pat Kennedy, J.D. and com-
munication professor.
All Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference athletic events sched-
uled for Tuesday night were can-
celled, however.
In the Clarion community, can-
dle light and prayer vigils have
been taking place at area church-
es.
Clarion University and the
Clarion Ministerial Association
will be having a Prayer Memorial
Service Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. in
Marwick-Boyd Auditorium.
In addition to prayer, many
members of both the university
and community have been tele-
phoning area blood banks and
Keeling Health Center as to when
they can donate blood.
"The urgent need is there, but
there is a prolonged need," said
Darlene Hartle, R.N.C., director
of the drug and alcohol program
and Nurse/Health Educator for
Keeling Health Center.
"They prefer that it is spaced out
a little bit so they can use it over a
period of time," Hartle said.
Once a donation is made the
blood is usable for 30 days.

Students assembled in ttie Gemmell Rotunda to view news
reports of ttie tragedy that ocurred on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
A blood drive is scheduled for
Sept. 25 in Clarion University
Tippin North Gymnasium from I i
a.m. to 5 p.m. The blood drive
was already scheduled and could-
n't have come at a better time,
said Hartle.
"The need doesn't stop with the
intial event," said Hartle.
According to Tricia McCall,
administrative assistant for
Clarion County Red Cross, more
than 80,000 units of blood were
sent Tueday to New York and
Washington D.C. Over 700,000
units are committed to New York
and Washington D.C, McCall
added.
"If you have never donated
before, now is the time," said
McCall.
People with blood types and
negative are the most sought
after because they can donate to
so many other people, Hartle said.

Micah Jared McEllhattan, 19, a Clarion
University student, has been arrested for
sexual assault in relation to two separate
cases.
In one case, McEllhattan is charged with
Indecent Assault, Indecent Exposure, Open
Lewdness and False Imprisonment.
According to the office of District Justice
Anthony Lapinto, McEllhattan held a
female against her will in the laundry room
of Wilkinson Hall Sept. 3 and repeatedly
fondled her through her shirt and jeans.
The female reportedly asked him to let
her go and that she did not want contact.
McEllhattan proceeded to engage in a
lewd act in front of her.
McEllhattan also is being charged in
another case which took place Sept. 4 and
involves two female residents of Wilkinson
Hall.
Because the incident involves two
females, McEllhattan is being charged with
two counts of Stalking and two counts of
Harassment.
According to Public Safety, McEllhattan
entered the rooms of the two girls uninvit-
ed at 6 p.m.
He reportedly tried to kiss them and also
chased them through the seventh floor of
Wilkinson Hall.
A resident assistant made Public Safety
aware of the incidents occurring in
Wilkinson Hall, said Dave Tedjeske, direc-
tor of Public Safety.
According to Tedjeske, McEllhattan is
being held in the Clarion County Jail.
After the incident occurred, the residence
halls went on 24 hour lock-down.

The Clarion Call
September 13, 2001
We think that it is a
true shame that such
tactics were used to get
the message across.
How does one begin
to resort to such an act?
We truly wish that the
family and friends of
the victims didn't have
to experiance this hard-
ship.
Though we can not
speak for others, this is
the first time in our
lives that we have felt a
sense of nationality;
that we are Americans.
Before, this was only
a place that we lived in,
now it feels like our
country. It is a travesty
that it took an even
such a this for us to feel
this way, but only
through unity will we
prevail.
Yesterday came as a
real sfiock to all of us.
When we all turned
on the television yester-
day morning around
nine o'clock in the
morning we were
expecting to watch the
same old programs that
we get up and watch
every other morning.
Instead we turned on
the television and our
hearts broke as we
watched the two
hijacked planes fly into
the World Trade Center.
Our nation took a
direct hit, not only on
the actual structures
destroyed, but on the
pride of the country.
We are more shocked
than angered because
we thought of America
as the "invincible."
That just shows our
nievety, but we are sure
we are not the only
ones who still remain in
a state of disbelief.
What happened yes-
terday was a terrible
tragedy. The events
will alter America for-
ever. Our deepest sym-
pathy goes out to those
who have lost family
and/or friends. Our
prayers are with all of
you in your time of
need.
Even in the time of
despare, some of us are
sort of releaved.
That might sound
very cold and heartless,
but we were releaved
when we received word
our families and friends
were ok and they were
not harmed.
Yesterday was a devis-
tation to many people
and we are sure that
some of them are here
at Clarion University.
You have our sympathy
and you are in our
prayers.
From the Editor !y Desk
Our world is surrounded by
change. How we adjust to change
is one of the tests of life. Never
was that more apparent than on
Tuesday.
When I was growing up my dad
always used to tell me nothing
ever stays the same.
However, not every change is
bad. For instance, sometimes
organizations experience change
including. The Clarion Call.
One of those changes was prob-
ably apparent to you when you
picked up the issue and looked at
the cover of The Clarion Call.
The new banner was helped
along by Wayne Anderson, a grad-
uate student in the
Communication Department at
Clarion University.
Every so often a change is nec-
essary to keep ideas updated and
moving forward.
Additional changes came about
on the back page as well. Now the
back page will have a color sports
photos.
The Clarion Call has also made
a significant policy change. All
Classified ads are to be paid
before they are published. We
apologize for any inconvenience
this may cause you.
We also have several new tal-
ented staff members and have
retained some of the veterans.
We all look forward to making
the paper your voice.

Opinion
lam saddened
that it took something
of this proportion to
send electricity
through our genera-
tion. 9§
-Amy a. Thompson
Editorial, Amy A. Thompson
For years I've heard my gener-
ation criticized a.s being apathet-
ic or unaware of the situations in
the world. At times I've agreed
with that statement.
I've always beheved that part
of the reason for my generation's
apathy was because we hadn't
lived through something astro-
nomical to make us appreciate
the rights and luxuries we have
been handed.
However, I always believed
that we shouldn't have had to
have lived through something as
tragic as say, Pearl Harbor, to
appreciate the freedoms and lux-
uries we do have.
On Tuesday, I saw a change.
Students were in clusters watch-
ing the day's events unfold on
TV's across the campus and in
their college residence hall
rooms and apartments.
The campus was solemn, but
yet there was a mix of emotions,
whether it be sadness or anger,
causing people who are normally
quiet to have an opinion.
I am sadenned that it took
something of this proportion to
send electricity through our gen-
eration. However, we should use
this incident and never forget it.
We should never let the passion
for our country die even though
the press will eventually stop
covering the event to the magni-
tude it did that first day.
Let me also say that even if you
are the most quiet person on
campus, you have a voice.
I think many times people feel
the only "voice" they have is the
spoken one. But there is one
"voice," which isn't audible, but
often times is just as powerful if
not more so.
I am talking about the written
word.
There are many powers to the
written word. For one, the writ-
ten word is long lasting. I once
heard that 80 percent of all spo-
ken word is forgotten almost as
soon as its uttered.
Many students express to me
(vocally) that they don't feel
they are capable of writing.
Whether they are concerned
about their own grammar or sim-
ply worried about how they are
articulating their words, writing
is still less popular than speak-
ing.
I have always found a certain
safety in writing a for a publica-
tion such as. The Clarion Call,
because my eyes aren't the only
pair of eyes which will see my
story before 't goes to print.
If you do have something to
say about the events that are tak-
ing place in our nation right now
or maybe in your personal life,
take advantage of The Clarion
Call and utilize your other
"voice."
If you are worried about how
your articulating something or
your spelling or grammar,
remember that The Clarion Call
can help you. Don't allow any-
thing to stop you from "voicing"
what is most important to you.

Hyde Park, John Crawford
Man is defined in adversity. In
the wake of the multiple terrorist
attacks against the United States
on September 11, 2001, it is
important to remember that
human beings can only be
defined in adverse circumstances.
And, what goes for people goes
for nations.
Our generation, those who
strive in the aftermath of
Generation X, has early been
defined as a generation of apa-
thetics. Maybe we can blame it
on the death of rock and roll.
Perhaps it's the large amount of
herbal inhalants. Blame our par-
ents.
Why are we so apathetic? Do
we not care?
I blame the TV.
After all, we are the generation
of Columbine. We were raised on
media images of violence and
strife. We are the generation of
the Oklahoma City Bombing. We
have watched Waco bum, L.A.
riot, and Seattle protest. Our for-
eign world is covered with
images of mass graves in Bosnia,
towering infernos in Kuwait, and
bodies clogging the rivers of
Rwanda. As the images grow, the
explanations thin.
Maybe we are just so inundated
we cannot be moved.
The terrorist operations of
September 11 are the wake-up
call to our generation. The world
is not a foreign land with insane
gunmen. It is not a kid gone mad
in "some other town." We cannot
idly sit by and assume that it is
"their" problem. The whole
world is not crazy, and we are not
safe unless we move.
We have to wake up to the real-
ity of our world. We have to dis-
cover it and grow to understand.
The world cannot be brought to
us through television - a simple
filter of immature ideas that thin-
ly exploit critical thought to
thickly exploit advertising rev-
enues. We cannot allow the
world to be bought and sold and
shot and killed while we burn
MP3s, watch TV, and shrug, say-
ing, "Holy s**t..." We cannot
assume somebody else will take
care of it - even if we do elect
them and pay them to do it!
However much those involved
deserve to be put to the knife, we
cannot ignore our own complicity
in this plot. Too many years we
have lazily allowed the world to
be our proxy as we fought wars
for riches that never were ours, in
places we never saw, and for
things we never believed. T(3o
many fields have burned and too
many cities have fallen since the
American Century began. We
must awaken to realize our role in
it all.
There is a whole world - a world
of young people who also are
OUR GENERATION - who are
living and dying and praying and
stealing and ducking and killing
to have the opportunity we have.
We cannot turn a blind eye to a
Palestinian whose life is so bleak
that he would strap a bomb to
himself and walk into a cafe in
Jerusalem. We cannot dismiss an
Isreali who feels the only way to
save his people is to evict another

President's Forum,
Ben Chervenak
Welcome back to everyone for
another semester at Clarion
University. Recently, Clarion
started out the year at full sprint,
with a visit from the new
Chancellor of the State System of
Higher Education, Judy Hample.
Hample started her visits of the
State System schools with Clarion
•last Thursday.
Throughout the day she met
with not only faculty and adminis-
tration members, she also held an
open forum which everyone could
attend, and also a meeting for stu-
dent leaders on campus.
It was through these meetings
that we were able to hear what her
plans were for the state system
schools, and for us to inform her
on what we thought to be impor-
tant issues facing Clarion and the
13 other state universities.
At one point, Hample said she
believes that the state system,
"has not told its story well."
Telling its story to not only its
students, but its faculty, adminis-
tration as well as prospective stu-
dents.
A group I think needs to sell its
story more is Student Senate.
(You knew I was going some-
where with this right?)
Student Senate is the group on
campus that is here to serve you,
the students of Clarion University.
The 20 senators, including
myself, are here to be your voice .
and your advocate to the universi-
ty and to the entire State System
of Higher Education.
Over the summer the university
went through many changes,
physically, departmentally and
also with personnel. The biggest
change to happen was the restruc-
turing of the Student Affairs
Division. Dr. George Curtis
retired as the Vice President of
student affairs and Harry Tripp, -
moved into a new )sition as Vice
President of Student and
University affairs midway
through summer.
There also has been many
changes within the student activi-
ties office with the retirement of
Hal Wasink. Shawn Hoke, a grad-
uate of Clarion University moved
into the reformed position as
Advisor of Interfraternity Council
and Panhellinc Councils. Mr.
Hoke is also going to be working
with the students at several levels
throughout the year.
Hopefully, this article, which I
will write bi-weekly for the
Clarion Call will help to keep you
imformed of what we are doing,
as well as ways to become more
involved with the university and
with Student Senate.
I will say again, we as your
Student Senators are here to serve
you, the students of Clarion
University- Our office is open
most of the day from 9-5, or you
can call us at 393-2318, email at
senate@clarion.edu, or stop by
anytime at our office in 269
Gemmell.
Do wish to write a weeldy
opinion column?

OPINION
Investigators focusing on theory of 20 hijackers
Courtesy of KRT Campus
WASHINGTON - Launching
perhaps the largest criminal
investigation in U.S. history, fed-
eral and state authorities raided
hotel rooms and searched for
vehicles from Maine to Florida
on Wednesday as they began
uncovering the complex plot that
led to the deadly terrorist attacks
on the World Trade Center and
the Pentagon.
Investigators in the FBI-led
probe tracked down hundreds of
potential leads on their first full
day, scouring clues left behind by
the suicide terrorists, from rental
cars and hotel rooms to Arabic-
language piloting manuals.
The early evidence indicated
that 20 or more hijackers com-
mandeered the four jetliners and
steered them into the seats of
U.S. economic and military
power. The terrorists may have
been divided into separate, self-
contained groups, some crossing
into the United States from
Canada recently. Others may
have been here for some time,
law enforcement authorities said.
Among them was a 33-year-old
man who was on the passenger
list of one of the hijacked planes.
He had also been taking flying
lessons in South Florida.
"A number of the suspected
hijackers were trained as pilots in
the United States," Attorney
General John Ashcroft told a
news conference.
"The four planes were hijacked
by between three and six individ-
uals per plane, using knives and
box-cutters, and in some cases
making bomb threats," Ashcroft
said. "Our government has credi-
ble evidence that the White
House and Air Force One were
targets."
FBI Director Robert Mueller
said law enforcement authorities
have identified many of the
hijackers by name, and efforts are
now under way to find their asso-
ciates.
Mueller said the investigation
involves 4,000 of the bureau's
agents, 3,000 support staff and
400 lab technicians. Some people
have been held on immigration
violations, but no one had been
arrested Wednesday in the hijack-
ings, the FBI chief said.
In South Florida, investigators
focused on Mohamed Atta, 33,
who was on the passenger list of
one of the two flights that took
off from Boston's Logan
International Airport and
slammed into the World Trade
Center. Records show he once
had a driver's license in Egypt.
The FBI in Miami also is look-
ing for two cars. Florida Division
of Motor Vehicle records show
one of them, a 1989 red Pontiac,
was registered to Atta.
From July to November 2000,
Atta and another man trained at
Huffman Aviation, a pilot school
that operates out of the airport in
Venice, on Florida's west coast.
Charlie Voss, a former Huffman
employee, said the men told him
they had just arrived from
Germany and wanted to take
flight training at the school.
A Venice couple told FBI agents
Wednesday morning they'd
leased a bedroom in their home
to Atta and a second man,
Marwan Alshehhi, for about a
week in July 2000.
Investigators got passport infor-
mation on the two men from
Huffman's records

people from their lands. We
cannot ignore the disparity of a
world where a man can see the
swath of humanity from filth and
death to splendor and opulence.
We cannot ignore the cries of
people who see this life as noth-
ing but a death waiting to hap-
pen.
In the aftermath of this tragedy,
our prayer should be: "May we
awaken."
May we awaken to the reality
that has always been here.
May we awaken to problems
that need to be solved.
May we awaken to the many
views that must be seen.
May we awaken to the world
before us.
May we awaken to what we
must do.
J.C. Crawford is a History
and Communication major.
FBI agents and local police
officers searched the Coral
Springs, Fla., apartment that Atta
had been renting, but apparently
found little there.
Investigators also talked with
the manager of a local bar,
Shuckums, who told them that
Atta had identified himself as an
American Airlines pilot after
having several drinks there
Friday night.
Another focus of the terrorism
probe was in New England. Law
enforcement authorities said they
were investigating whether one
group of hijackers crossed into
the United States from Canada
before traveling to Boston's
Logan International Airport,
departure point for the two jetlin-
ers that struck the World Trade
Center.
Osama bin Laden, the prime
suspect behind the attacks, tried
once before to pull off a terrorism
extravaganza during the world-
wide millennium celebrations,
when his operatives also tried to
cross into the United States from
Canada but were caught by
police.
Mueller said several individuals
were interviewed in the Boston
area and that some were being
detained for apparent immigra-
tion violations.
Gov. Angus King of Maine said
two of the suspects flew to
Boston from the airport in
Portland, Maine. They left
behind a rental car that has been
impounded, he said.
And in Boston itself, heavily
armed FBI agents searched the
Westin Hotel in the city's Back

Bay section. A room at the hotel
is believed to have been used by
one of the hijackers of the two
flights out of Boston.
The overall investigation, con-
ducted by terrorism units of U.S.
attorneys' offices and the FBI,
swept up passenger manifests,
rental car receipts, telephone
logs, videotapes from parking
garages and pay phones, Ashcroft
said. Investigators also were
working the crime scenes and
trying to recover the "black
boxes" from the downed aircraft,
he said.
Ashcroft called the probe "per-
haps the most massive and inten-
sive investigation ever conducted
in this country."
But criticism rose in Congress
and elsewhere Wednesday over
the failure of U.S. intelligence
and law enforcement agencies to
give advance warning of the
attacks. U.S. intelligence offi-
cials have said they had no such
warnings, but are studying recent
reports to see if anything was
missed.
"The American people are not
well-served by the intelligence
community. There were no warn-
ings, no infiltration of (terrorist)
organizations," said Sen. Robert
Torricelli of New Jersey.
'The problem with intelligence
is that you need very precise
information to tell you when
something is going to go off,"
said Frank Cilluffo, a senior poli-
cy analyst at the Center for
Strategic and International
Studies, a Washington-based
research group. "Now we're
obviously shaking all the bushes
... working every single line and
flushing them out all at once."
"In retrospect, when we do the
assessment, we're going to find a
number of dots that, on their
own, may not make a lot of sense,

Reinhard announces coming retirement
by Amy Thompson
Clarion Call Mitor-ln-ChJIef
Clarion University President
Diane Reinhard announced her
retirement at a Clarion University
Council of Trustees meeting this
summer. Her retirement is slated
for July 1,2003.
Reinhard said a number of rea-
sons played into her decision to
retire in two years. One reason for
her retirement is her belief that
every university needs new lead-
ership from time to time.
Reinhard is going into her 12th
year of leadership and will finish
her 1 3th year at retirement.
After her retirement, a new cap-
ital campaign will begin and
Reinhard said it is best to have
one president during the entire
Capital Campaign which lasts
five years.
According to Reinhard, the last
Capital Campaign she was a part
of raised $11.3 million.
Another reason for her retire-
ment is that the Middle states
accreditation process will be com-
plete as well as various other pro-
gram initiatives.
"It's good for the university and
it's good for me personally," said
Reinhard.
Reinhard also has a desire to be
with her family in her hometown
of Watertown, Wisconsin, a
hometown close to universities,
she said.
In addition, Reinhard said, "I
wanted to retire in a town like
Clarion."
Reinhard has purchased a house
in Watertown.
"It's a sweet little colonial but it
needs a lot of tender love and
care," said Reinhard.
Reinhard said her immediate
plans will involve renovating her
new home. Eventually, however,
she would like to get back into
some form of teaching or consult-
ing.
Reinhard will also return to
Clarion for the Autumn Leaf
Festival.
Reinhard also wants to empha-
size that her retirement is still two
years away and there are certain
goals she would like to see
accomplished. Reinhard said she
wanted to give the university and
the state system plenty of time to
find a replacement.
Reinhard said she would like to
see the replacement of a new sci-
ence center. She also said she
would like to see that the accredi-
tations are in good standing and
that the university is understood
by the new chancellor of the state
system.
Also on her agenda is to move
ahead with the universities basic
infrastructure and see that there is
new program development not
only at the main campus but at the
Venango campus as well.
Reinhard said she wants people
to understand there are two cam-
puses but classes are offered at
different campuses in the state.
Reinhard said one of the high-
lights of her career has been the
people she has had the privilege to
work with, and the faculty that
hasn't lost the focus of academic
excellence.
Reinhard said the sad moments
of her job have been when there
are many good ideas and little
money to work with.
'The community members have
been very kind and generous to
me from the moment I stepped on
campus," she said.
Although Reinhard said she had
a special fondness of downtown
Clarion and its businesses, she
said her special place to be in
Clarion is at her home on her back
porch watching the trees and
wildlife.
Finally, Reinhard said, "I just
dearly love this university. I just
hope that history will show that 1
made a difference."

Martin Luther King Jr. Series boasts a full schedule
by Kelly Drevitch
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Martin Luther King Jr. Committee
arranged an array of events for 2001-2002.
These events are open to all and have no
charge.
This Clarion University committee believes
Dr. King's heritage, as a United States leader,
needs more implementation and attention. In
fact, this year's theme concentrates on
"Leadership and Achievement Through
Diversity". Dr. King's persistence and hard
work helped further social justice in school-
ing, human violence, intolerance, gender
issues, and the structure of job opportunities.
The speakers and events include:
September 18, 2001, Street Beats, Hart
Chapel at 7 p.m. Created and produced by
Romeo Joven, a graduate of NYU's Tisch
School of Arts, Street Beats combines high
energy with music and sounds of New York
City's subway. Street Beats includes Latin,
tap, break-dancers, singers, tumblers, bucket
drummers, singers, and comedians.
September 22, 2001, Lenny Kohm, 'The
Late Great Wilderness Project," Hart Chapel
at 7:30 p.m. This event is a multimedia
slideshow presentation by Lenny Kohm. In
1987, Kohm, a nature photographer, was
assigned to photograph the Arctic's National
Wildlife Refuge's coastal plain in Alaska.
October 15, 2001, Sandra Guzman,
"Workplace Diversity Beyond Black and
White Issues: The Latino Factor," Hart
Chapel at 7:30 p.m. Guzman, an EMMY
Award-winning journalist, has over 10 years
of experience in the fields of broadcast, mag-
azine, newspaper, and Internet journalism.
She is also the former editor-in-chief of
"Latina Magazine", the first national bilingual
lifestyle magazine for Latino American
women.
January 28, 2002, Kevin Powell, "Looking
for Martin: Are Dr. King and His Dream Still
Relevant," Hart Chapel at 7:30 p.m. Powell,
the former member of MTV's first season of
"Real World," is an accomplished journalist

Stone," 'The Washington Post," "Essence,"

Powell also wrote four books and is the editor
of "Step into a World: A Global Anthology of
the New Black Literature."
February 4, 2002, Herman Boone, Hart
Chapel at 4 p.m.
Boone, motivator and football coach, brought
his leadership accomplishments to the big
screen in Disney's "Remember the Titans." In
1971, he coached the TC. Williams High
School to a state championship victory.
However, this was no ordinary football team.
When three schools integrated to form one
school and one Titan football team, racial ten-
sions sparked. The team named Boone foot-
ball head coach, instead of the local favorite.
With determination, goals, and respect, the
coaches dissolved their prejudices and led
their team to a championship.
March 8, 2002, Rev Irene Monroe, "Role
Religion Plays in Discrimination," Hart
Chapel at 7:30 p.m. Monroe, a writer, colum-
nist, theologian, motivational speaker, and
gay and lesbian activist, crusades for the silent
but growing society. Currently, Monroe
writes a biweekly column, "The Religion
Thang," for Newsweekly . a lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender newspaper that cir-
culates widely through the New England
states. Her column received a commendation
from the mayor.

New chancellor addresses students in open forum
by Amy Thompson
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief
Judy Hample, the new chancellor for
the Pennsylvania State System of Higher
Education, advised students to follow the
advice their parents and teachers gave
them concerning their futures at the open
forum Sept. 6 in Hart Chapel.
Hample said she also would like to
stress the importance of a liberal-based
education to the students in the state sys-
tem.
Hample chose to conduct an open forum
in order to get an idea of the issues facing
the state system. Hample in return com-
municated with students, faculty and the
Clarion community her plans for the state
system.
"She was just very sincere, very intelli-
gent and you could just tell she wanted to
take care of everyone," said Student
Senate Vice President, Missy Gring.
CUP was her first stop on her way to
touring all 14 state system schools. When
Hample and her staff were constructing
her touring schedule, Hample said she
told them what she expected of her first
stop.
"Take me to the best university in the
system, and by the way, that university
must have a debate team," she said.
Because Hample expressed her fond-
ness in the state system. Dr. William
Barnes, professor of Clarion University's
biology department, brought to her atten-
tion that many consider the state system
to be a "generic alternative to Pitt or Penn
State."
"I don't think our system has told its

story very well," she said.
Hample said the state system needs to
"emphasize what we do best."
However, Hample said, "Clarion is
doing a pretty good job of telling its
story."
In addition, she said the state system is
the envy of other systems because of the
ideas which are being implemented and
the student/faculty ratios.
Hample also said the state system needs
to "extend and expand what we already
have" and take the state system to a high-
er level.
Hample, in an interview with Mark
Despotakis, TV 5 station manager, said a
higher level is reached "by being vigi-
lante, by improving the quality of every-
thing we do."
Hample discussed one initiative already
in place by the former Chancellor James
H. McCormick. McCormick had already
began the steps for a "Virtual University."
Hample discussed her technology
views. Technology has its limitations and
should be used as an "extension of the
ways faculty can interact with the stu-
dents."
She also said, "Technology is a means
to an end, not an end in itself."
Hample also focused on the use of video
conferencing but "not as a substitution for
face-to-face interaction," she said.
Another topic brought to the floor was
the issue of student activities in a per-
son's college experience. Hample called
student activities "a critical component"
of a student's college experience.
College, she said, is "more than a
degree."
President Diane Reinhard joined in the
discussion with the topic of students ath-
letes. Clarion University athletes are stu-
dents first and athletes second, she said,
which gained a round of applause from
those who attended the open forum.
Reinhard, who also introduced Hample
at the event, described her as "quite tal-
ented, quite bright and quite perceptive."
Student Senate President Ben
Chervenak said, "1 thought she was very
concerned with what the students' issues
were. She seems very open to new ideas
and suggestions. 1 feel that she is going to
be an asset to not only Clarion University,
but the entire State System of Higher
Education."
"Chancellor Hample is extremely intel-
ligent and perceptive. The fact that she
came in after such a short time and
answered questions so well just amazed
me," said Student Senate Treasurer, Tom
Clopp.
Hample was one of three finalists for
the job. Former University of Toledo
president, Frank E. Horton and former
acting secretary of the Army, Joseph W.
Westphal were the other finalists.
Hample is the former chancellor of the
Board of Regents of the Florida State
University System. She is replacing for-
mer Chancellor McCormick, who went to
serve as chancellor of the Minnesota
State Colleges and Universities system.
Hample will earn a $275,000 annual
salary in verbal three-year contract.

Videonet keeps students informed
by Khalia Robinson
Clarion Call Staff Writer
It's in with the new, out with the old as Clarion's
new videonet innovation replaces the old L.E.D.
message boards.
What exactly is videonet? It's a campus events
publicity program that brings the events calendar
right to your television screen. Along with the com-
pany that provided the old L.E.D. message boards,
Mr. Hal Wassink, coordinator of student activities,
thought the addition of the new videonet system
would be in the campus' best interest. After being
approved by the Student Senate Appropriations
Committee, implementation began.
Videonet can be viewed on special monitors in
Gemmell snack bar, by the Gemmell information
desk, and in the student recreation center (this mon-
itor is not yet functional).
Yet access to the videonet is not just limited to
those locations. Students and faculty alike can find
the videonet anywhere on campus on its assigned
channel 50. Students living in the residence halls
may view the videonet at any time from their dorm
rooms.
Off-campus students won't have home access, but
any television on campus can be turned to channel
50, and the videonet will be there for your viewing
pleasure.
"It's a really great way to find out what events are
happening on campus in a relatively short amount of
time," says Mr. Dave Tomeo, director of the univer-
sity center and student activities. In about six or
seven minutes you can see all of the activities post-
ed for the next few weeks.
It's a really great way to find out
what events are happening on
campus in a relatively short amount
of time. §9
-Dave Tomeo
Any student organization is encouraged to come to
the student activities office in 251 Gemmell to fill
out a form so that their activities can be posted on
the videonet. Messages can be submitted at any
time, but messages will not be posted more than two
weeks in advance.
In addition to worded messages, video clips will
soon be added to the videonet. For more informa-
tion, call 393-2311.

Summer closes another chapter m library
construction and campus renovations
by Martisse Maori
Clarion Call Staff Writer
It's the question everybody
has been asking, "When are
we going to have a library
again?" According to Howard
McGinn, Dean of Libraries,
the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania's Department of
General Services (DGS),
Carlson Library was 70 per-
cent complete at the begin-
ning of August. The reopening
for the entire building is
anticipated for May.
The $14.67 million Carlson
Library is coming close to its
completion allowing anticipa-
tion for occupancy to occur in
November. Wireless and wire
data networks will be
installed along with compact
shelving. In December the
Library Administration and
technical services are sched-
uled to move in. New furni-
ture, shelving, and new com-
puters will be installed in
January, and in February, the
reference and circulation
areas will return. Operations
to move books back will also
begin. The periodical section
will return in March, and the
Library Science Department
will move from Becker in
May after commencement.
Scheduled for April is the
opening of the first floor
which will include the refer-
ence room, periodicals room,
and a computer lab. The open-
ing of other floors will
depend on the arrival of
returning books.
The redesign and renovation
of Carlson Library will
include three classrooms, a
conference room, study
rooms, an archival center, and
a new art gallery. It will also
house the Library faculty and
faculty from the Department
of Library Service. Wireless
Internet access will be avail-
able on all floors, and patrons
will now have laptop comput-
ers to check out for library
use. Those using their own
laptops will have access to
wireless modem cards.
The office of Clare Heidler,
Director of Facilities
Planning, is where projects
are planned, worked on, and
completed. Carlson Library is
not the only project that has
gone through this office.
Landscaping projects, electri-
cal renovations, and the con-
struction of a 45-foot bell
tower have also been decided.
A landscaping project that
correlates with the Carlson
project will change the
scenery for students
approaching the library. The
other landscaping project was
started during the summer
when trees were removed,
plantings were added, and
sidewalks were replaced in
front of Hart Chapel and
Founders Hall. Sidewalks
were also replaced along
Wood Street and Ninth
Avenue. A new walkway lined
with bricks will lead toward
the bell tower when it is fin-
ished. The bell tower is based
on the once existing bell
tower of Seminary Hall, one

The current library is in the process of rebuilding. The txiOding
construction is slated to be complete for May 2002. At the
beginning of August the library was about 70 percent com-
plete.
of Clarion's former buildings.
The $3.5 million electrical
work is part of a three-year
project funded by State
System of Higher Education
Academic Facilities
Renovation Project funds.
Most of the work being done
involves replacing under-
ground cable, installing con-
duit for more cable, and
replacing transformers and
switches that control the dis-
tribution of power on campus.
The old saucer style outdoor
lights on campus will be
replaced with Victorian style
light poles.
Other projects that were
completed this summer
included bathroom renova-
tions, installation of a fire
prevention sprinkler system,
and increased electrical ser-
vice in Wilkinson Hall.
Bathrooms were upgraded in
the basement of Given Hall,
windows were replaced in
Chandler Dining Hall, light
fixtures and new pole founda-
tions were installed at the
Campbell Hall tennis courts,
an underground safety device
was installed in the McEntire
Maintenance Building fuel
box, to prevent accidental
spills from reaching the storm
drains, and the parking lot
between Carrier Hall and Nair
Hall was repaved. Speed
bumps were also installed
after being recommended by
the Facilities Planning
Committee and Parking
Committee.
Crooked Creek Environmental Center available to Clarion University
by Susan Campbell
Clarion Call News Editor
Students at Clarion University now
have the opportunity to learn about the
environment at Crooked Creek
Environmental Learning Center in
Armstrong County due to an agreement
signed by Clarion in order to join other
educational and organizations in oversee-
ing the facility.
Clarion's representative to the Center's
steering committee is Dr. Bruce Smith,
director of science education at Clarion
University.
"Crooked Creek Environmental
Learning Center is a wonderful outdoor
classroom," Smith said. "The possibili-
ties for environmental studies are unlim-
ited. It includes 30 acres with a dam and
an environmental center that has a con-
ference room, classroom, kitchen, and
sleeping area for approximately 15."
The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers built
the center and used it for educational pur-
poses.
In 2000, Dr. Stanton Green, dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences; Dr. Steve
Harris, chair of the biology department;
and Smith discussed the facility's future.
The Armstrong Educational Trust, a
non-profit organization, was called upon
by Dr. William Kerr, superintendent of
the Armstrong County School District.
The trust agreed to handle the legal
issues of leasing the property and mainte-
nance.
The governing board includes Clarion,
Indiana University of Pennsylvania, the
New Kensington Campus of Penn State
University, Butler County Community
College, the Armstrong County School
EHstrict and several other districts, the
Pennsylvania Fish Commission, and the
Pennsylvania Game Commission. The
Center was signed over to the Armstrong
Educational trust in August.
''This is close to the original intention
of the use of the facilities. All of this is at
no cost to Clarion University," Smith
said. "We envision the facilities being
used year round for classes and as a loca-
tion for faculty and staff retreats and
development sessions."

Clarion Undversity area will benefit
from $2.2 million grant
Courtesy of University
Relations
K-16 students and their
teachers in the Clarion
University of Pennsylvania
area will benefit from a $739,
859 grant to the State System
of Higher Education.
The U.S. Department of
Education is issuing the grant
to the State System for train-
ing teachers to use the latest
technology in their class-
rooms.
The State System anticipates
receiving additional funding
over the next three years for a
total grant award of $2.3 mil-
lion.
Some of the money goes to
Clarion University's K-16
Council, established through a
December 2000 grant to
Clarion University Department
of Education faculty members
Dr. JoAnn Dugan, Dr. Barrie
Brancato, and Dr. Jocelyn
Smrekar.
That grant was funded by the
Pennsylvania Academy for the
Profession of Teaching and
Learning. Clarion and sister
State System institutions
Mansfield, Slippery Rock, and
West Chester are the lead
institutions in the grant.
The new grant money is part
of the U.S. Department of
Education's "Preparing
Tomorrow's Teachers to Use
Technology" (PT3) grant pro-
gram. Funds will be distrib-
uted to the State System's
Pennsylvania Academy for the
Profession of Teaching and
Learning (Academy) under the
Educational Resources Group.
Besides the educational
organizations involved with
the PT3 grant, Microsoft
Corporation has committed
$250,000 in software.
For the first year, the State
System will secure matching
funds of nearly $1.6 million or
68 percent of the total budget.
The remaining 32 percent will •
be financed with the grant
money. Over three years, the
State System will provide
nearly $4.8 million in match-
ing funds.
"This grant and the makeup
of the K-16 Council reflect the
idea that the education of
young people is the responsi-
bility of everyone," says Dr.
Gail Grejda, dean of Clarion
University's College of
Education and Human
Services. "The old divisions
between basic and higher edu-
cation no longer exists. We all
have to work together. It is a
thrill for Clarion to be a part of
this effort and be a leader in
reforming educational meth-
ods. We will share what we
learn with other members of
the State System."
The Clarion K-16 Council
focuses on mathematics. "The
additional funds will allow us
to continue our support of
mathematics education and
expand it to bring in literacy
as another component," says
Dugan. "we see literacy and
mathematics as related. Our
last workshop involved writ-
ing about mathematics.
Writing is reflective and deep-
ens the understanding of a sub-
ject. It encourages students to
talk with classmates and
express mathematical concepts
in their own words. A student
has to read about mathematics
and being competent in read-
ing and writing helps to devel-
op content knowledge."
In Fall 2001, the Clarion K-
16 program will move from
workshops and meetings into
the participating school dis-
tricts. University personnel
will provide support to the
teachers in the schools, where
internal teaching circles are
already developing to plan
instruction methods and
lessons.
"We have worked extensive-
ly with teachers for the past
six months," says Dugan about
the workshops and meetings
held to encourage a dialogue
among educators, demonstrate
teaching strategies, and coor-
dinate efforts between the
University and community.
"Clarion's mathematics facul-
ty gave several presentations
about its activities and
research to improve instruc-
tion and achievement in math-
ematics at Clarion."
A major aspect of the pro-
gram funded with the new
grant is a web-based learning
community that will bring pre-
service teachers, K-12 cooper-
ating teachers, and higher edu-"
cation faculty from the depart-
ments of teacher education and
arts and sciences together in
an interactive environment.
The web technology will
allow all participants to share
information, ideas, lesson
plans, and methods for using
technology to enhance K-i2
learning.
Pre-service teachers will
have the opportunity to contin-
ue to participate in the web
community after they enter
their first classrooms, continu-
ing the learning process, men-
toring and sharing of best
practices.
"The goal is basically system
reforms, identifying goals and
focus, and sharing the infor-
mation with other State
System members,: says
Grejda. "As a result of these
meetings, Clarion University
is looking at the mathematics
courses taken by its education
majors. An early result of this
review is offering academical-
ly underprepared students the
opportunity to take an on-line,
World Wide Web based course
from Educational Testing
Services. The tutorial better
prepares them for mathematics
courses and to pass the
required PRAXIS I test for
teaching."
The Clarion K-16 Council
Advisory Board is chaired by
Clarion University President
Diane L. Reinhard. It includes
Clarion University faculty
members; the superintendents
and faculty representatives
from the Clarion-Limestone,
Farrell, and Redbank Valley
School districts; faculty mem-
bers from Butler Community
College and Westminster
University; representatives
from Intermediate Unit 6;
Clarion Chamber of
Commerce; business and com-
munity representatives; and
professional development
school partners-Brookville
Area School District, Clarion
Area School District, Clarion-
Limestone School District;
and Keystone Area School
District.

mation of the U.S. Department

Pictured above is Kelly
Markovich, participant In Ttie
Harrisburg Intership program.
Kelly Markovich, a junior psy-
chology major at Clarion
University, is participating in a
15-week internship at the
Pennsylvania Department of
State's Bureau of Professional &
Occupational Affairs. The
internship is being sponsored by
the State System of Higher
Education.
Daughter of Michael Jay and
Sharon Markovich of Northern
Cambria, Markovich is one of
12 students in The Harrisburg
Internship Semester (THIS) pro-
gram. THIS provides a chance
for students to earn a full semes-
ter's worth of credits while
working in every area of the
state government.
Students from each of the 14
State System universities are
invited to participate in this
internship program.
Markovich and the other par-
ticipants will be attending many
academic seminars during the
semester-long internship. A part
of the program's requirements
includes a research paper that
must be completed individually.
THIS began in 1989 and has
hosted more than 150 students
from State System universities.
The program offers opportuni-
ties to work with several state
agencies. It also offers the
chance of working in the gover-
nor's offices, with the speaker of
the House of Representatives, as
well as the attorney general.
Students attending State
System universities can obtain
information about THIS by ask-
ing their individual campus
coordinator, their university's
cooperative or internship office,
or by calling the Dixon
University Center at (717) 720-
4089.
addresses the need to integrate
our approach to education
reform in Pennsylvania," said
Interim Chancellor Mary W.
Burger. "Over the past few
years, under the leadership of
former Chancellor James H.
McCormick, the State System
has positioned itself positively
in the federal arena.
Now, with the leadership of
the recently appointed
Chancellor Judy G. Hample,
we look forward to continuing
and extending these outstand-
ing efforts." '
The funding will support the
first year of the program that
initially will run for three
years. During the process, the
program will be evaluated and
best practices will be gathered
with the hope of expanding it
to the eight remaining State
System universities. The
System has committed a mini-
mum of two years beyond the
three-year program.
Additional information may
be found at Clarion's K-16
website at
www.clarion.edu/kl6council.
Funding for the Academy has
been provided through both
the State System and the state
Department of Education.
The Academy's primary
office is in Richards Hall at
the Dixon University Center,
2986 North Second Street,
Harrisburg. It also has an
office in Room 410, Regional
Enterprise Tower in
Pittsburgh.

Dave Barry's "hornet puke" weight loss plan
by Dave Barry
Syndicated writer
Are you overweight? Take this
simple medical test to find out:
Stand with your arms hanging
by your sides and your feet slight-
ly apart. Now look out the win-
dow. If you see the United States
of America, then you are over-
weight, because everybody here
is. That's why your arms are hang-
ing by your sides at a 45-degree
angle.
We are in the midst of a nation-
al weight-gain epidemic, as indi-
cated by the Surgeon General's
just-released "Report on Obesity
in America," which is virtually
unreadable because of Haagen-
Dazs stains. And the situation is
getting worse. This summer, for
the first time, Walt Disney World
was forced to close for two con-
secutive days because of vacation-
ers getting wedged in the turn-
stiles.
The national weight problem is
especially troubling for our young
people, because as they have
become fatter, their role models
have become skinnier. Your mod-
ern pop stars — your Britney
Spears, your Christina Aguilera,
your Britney Aguilera, your
Christina Spears and your Back
*N' Street Sync Boys — have the
body fat of a Bic pen. These stars
have to be in superb shape
because their musical acts consist
of sprinting frantically back and
forth across the stage, as if pur-
sued by invisible jackals, so as to
distract attention from the fact that
their music — and I don't mean
this as a criticism, just an observa-
tion — bites.
When 1 was a youth, it was eas-
ier to relate, physically, to the pop
stars, who tended to be less-
mobile, larger-dimensioned artists
such as Elvis Presley, Fats "Fats"
Domino, and Luciano "Really
Fats" Pavarotti. These artists did
not sprint. Sometimes they took
actual naps on stage.
Even when the pop stars of the
past moved around, they stuck to
movements that did not require
superb physical conditioning, or
even a central nervous system. A
good example is a dance called
"The Freddie," which was popu-
larized briefly in 1965 by Freddie
and the Dreamers, a British Twit
Invasion band that, when it per-
formed this dance, strongly
resembled a group of men failing
a roadside sobriety test. (If we
really want to gauge the character
and judgment of today's politi-
cians, we should stop asking them
if they ever took drugs, and
instead ask them if they ever did
"The Freddie.")
But my point is that today, we
are a fat nation, and we have low
self-esteem because our role mod-
els are thin. Something needs to
be done about this. The simplest
solution, of course, would be to
put Britney Spears in a room filled
with Moon Pies and refuse to let
her out until she ate them all. That
way, when she gave a concert, the
stage would collapse, and our kids
would feel better about them-
selves. I know I would.
But that would be wrong. So
instead we must embark on a
national program to lose weight.
There is only one safe, sane way
to do this: Eat less, and exercise
more. So we can rule THAT out.
Which leads us to the only other
option: hornet juice.
I am not making hornet juice up.
There's a Japanese company
called Meiji that is selling a prod-
uct (check it out for yourself at
hornet-super-juice.com) derived
from the larvae of "giant killer
hornets." The company says that
these hornets, which "grow up to
five times the size of a typical
wasp" and "kill about 40 people
every year," feed their young by
killing other insects and then
"chewing the meat into a ball.'"
The hornets feed these meatballs
to their larvae, which then regur-
gitate a clear liquid, which the
adult hornets drink. This gives
them enough energy to fly 50
miles per day, which is more than
you can say for some major air-
lines.

The unique music of Street Beats
comes to Clarion University of

p.m. in Hart Chapel. The music
performance is the first program in
the 2001-02 Martin Luther King
Jr. Speaker Series. The program is
free and open to the public.
Street Beats is a high energy per-
formance with music and sounds
from the New York City subways.
Street Beats was created and pro-
duced by NYU's Tisch School of
the Arts graduate Romeo Joven.
Joven got the idea of creating
Street Beats watching many tal-
ented and unique acts while wait-
ing for the subway.
Street Beats features bucket
drummers, Latin, tap and break
dancers, tumblers, comedians and
singers. It also features a special

active involvement to further
social injustice include all levels
of schooling, human violence,
intolerance, gender issues, and the
structure of job opportunities.
Programs in these and other
domains developed through vari-
ous academic disciplines seem
appropriate for the committee to
cooperatively develop each year.
Haines kicks off
Visiting Writer Series

Poet and essayist John Haines
will open Clarion University of
Pennsylvania's 2001-02 Visiting
Writers Series with a reading on
September 20 at 7:30 p.m. in
Moore Hall. The reading is free
and open to the public.
Haines is the author of an
Alaskan memoir, "The Stars, The
Snow, The Fire"; a collection of
poems, "The Own in the Mask of
the Dreamer"; and a collection of
essays and reviews, "Fables and
Distances." He has received a lit-
erary award from the Academy of
Arts and Letters and was awarded
the 63rd Annual Fellowship by the
Academy of American Poets.
Most recently, Haines was Poet-
in-Residence at the Stadler
Center, Bucknell University.
Previously, he was a resident at
the Rockefeller Center in
Bellagio, Italy, and a guest at the
annual Summer Wordsworth
Conference in Grasmere,
England. His newest collection of
poems, "For the Century's End"
will be published in October
2001.

BARRYI Dave Bany outlines his plan for losing weight fast,
from Page 12.
The company states that
Japanese hornet scientists first
tested the hornet juice on — I
am still not making this up —
"swimming mice." The scien-
tists found that the juice
enabled the mice to turn fat
into energy, and thus swim
longer. The hornet juice was
then tested on students riding
exercise bicycles; sure enough,
in a short time, these students
were stinging people to death.
No, really, the students also
converted fat to energy. And so
now Meiji has put this juice
into a drink for yon, the con-
sumer. It's being sold under the
name "VAAM," which is smart
marketing, because it has more
consumer appeal than ''Hornet
Larvae Puke." But whatever
you call it, this is a product
that America NEEDS. I could
use some right now, to wash
down these meatballs.

Disco sucks! Disco rules! Ummm, wait....
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestjies Editor
ARTIST/ALBUM: Daft Punk,
Discovery.
FOR FANS OF: Modem-day
disco; poppy techno.
FOR FURTHER LISTENING:
Daft Punk's Homework, Saturday
Nif^ht Fever soundtrack playing
simultaneously with some Fatboy
Slim.
Let me make something abundant-
ly clear: 1 hate disco. It was nothing
more than an excuse for coked-up
rich white hipsters to dress flamboy-
antly and shake their collective
groove thangs in mindless,
Watership Down rabbit-style.
As much as I loathe boy/giri bands
and mcxlem r&b, those genres are
nothing more than pimples on
disco's pale, flaccid a**.
But like all greai human tragedies,
a silver lining can be found within
discoteque purgatory. The move-
ment did inadvertently spawn a
handful of classic albums and sin-
gles. It was the main catalyst for the
punk genre m response to its excess
and polished gloss. It fueled the new
wave movement with a higher level
of acceptance regarding the synthe-
sizer as a legitimate instrument, and
transitively, the electronica of today,
including French act Daft Punk.
Content to dabble in bouncy house
music and engaging yet cut-and-
paste rhythms on their debut,
Homework, Daft Punk breaks out
that giant mirrorball and platform
shoes for their long-awaited sopho-
more release. Discovery. Make no
mistake about it - Discovery is not an
electronica album, or even a house
album - it's disco. From the ultra-
processed vocals to the prefabricated
roots and questionable artistic merit,
resulting in alternating moments of
genuine tribute and knowing winks
of absurdity. Compulsively dance-
able ("One More Time"), irresistibly
sappy ("Digital Love") and unfortu-
nately sometimes as irritating as a
termite in your ear ("Short Circuit"),
guitar "solos," Daft Punk has created
what is quite possibly the world's
greatest disco album, ever. (My
apologies to the Pet Shop Boys).
Discovery is a huge slab of ripe
cheese, self-aware of its dubious
Daft Punk has crafted an album that
at once collectively pulls the best and
worst elements of the genre into a
(mostly) endlessly listenable platter.
The album's first four songs form
a suite of resplendent glitter with
enough energy to carry you through
the album's lesser moments, such as
a sampled Barry Manilow
("Superheros") and the overly long
closer, appropriately titled, "Too
Long."
"One More Time" makes you
aware of Daft Punk's intentions from
the get-go, as guest singer
Romanthony's voice gets the 'talking
Macintosh' treatment, sounding like
the ecstasy-retarded brother of
Radiohead's paranoid android.
"Music's got me feelin" so
fineAVe're gonna
celebrate/Celebrate and dance so
free.." is repeated ad infinitum as a
stupidly happy synth loop drums you
into drooling oblivion for the next
five minutes. "One More Time"
teeters on the line between being
repetitive to the point of annoyance
and simply hypnotizing. Fortunately
it never loses its footing for a second.
The energy level is only upped for
"Aerodynamic," the next track. A
collage of drum loops and a searing
Van Halen-styled riff" that struts its
stuff all over your speakers so well
you expect David Lee to pop up at
any moment, "Aerodynamic" will
have even the staunchest disco-hater
pumping their fist in the air.
"Digital Love" is a track of such
wondrous robotic funk that I'm sure
Prince is weeping tears of envy
somewhere in Minnesota. It's. the
sound of computers "networking," if
you catch my drift. Even the ridicu-
lous Supertramp-emulaling key-
board chill section works unbeliev-
ably well, despite its recent inclusion
in a Gap commercial. I've never
wanted to buy parachute pants so
badly. The oozing sentiments of
"Digital Love" melt perfectly into
the mathematical precision of
"Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,"
which is every bit as dynamic and
anthemic as its title suggests.
The second half of Discovery is
much weaker, filled with holes and
mine traps for your ears, but for those
willing to tiead with caution, there
can be rewards. Skip past the emo-
tionless ambient sludge of
"Nightvision," as well as the afore-
mentioned "Superheros" if you value
your health and well-being at all.
But in your dealings with the 'skip'
button on your player, make sure to
make a pit stop at "Something About
Us," which is nearly as brilliantly
cheesy as "Digital Love." Gotta love
those talk-boxes, man.
"Voyager" and "Veridis Quo," a
pair of instrumentals that seem like
lost Duran Duran singles without
Simon LeBon's prattling are also
worth a look. If you are unable to
find even modest pleasures with Daft
Punk's Discovery, then you aren't a
fan of dance music in any of its per-
mutations. Now if you'll excuse me,
that damn mirrorball is giving me a
headache. 4 out of 5 stars.

Attacks on U.S. disturb college teams
by Andrew Bagnato
Courtesy of Krt Campus
As Americans came to grips
with Tuesday's apparent terrorist
attacks, six major-college foot-
ball games were postponed and
school officials debated whether
to play the rest of the weekend's
slate.
Meanwhile, hundreds of non-
revenue athletic contests, includ-
ing volleyball matches involving
Northwestern and Notre Dame,
were scrubbed Tuesday as cam-
puses across the nation closed.
Three of the Division I-A foot-
ball games postponed were
scheduled for Thursday night:
Penn State's nationally televised
game at Virginia, Ohio
University's visit to North
Carolina State and Texas Tech's
game at UTEP. The Texas Tech
game was tentatively moved to
Saturday.
San Diego State at No. 21 Ohio
State was rescheduled for Oct.
20, an open date for both schools.
No. 13 Washington's visit to top-
ranked Miami also was post-
poned. And No. 14 UCLA said it
hoped to move Saturday's game
against Arizona State to Dec. 1.
"We sit here thinking that it
puts a lot less importance on
Saturday," Ohio State coach Jim
Tressel told reporters in
Columbus, Ohio. "You say to
yourself, 'Who's going to be get-
ting on airplanes to go play each
other right now?'"
Because few teams play Dec. 1,
that Saturday could become a
convenient rescheduling option,
although the Southeastern and
Big 12 conferences stage their
playoffs that day.
Big Ten commissioner Jim
Delany, who had been in
Philadelphia with an aide for an
NCAA meeting, had planned to
fly back to Chicago on Tuesday
morning, but his flight was can-
celed. The Big Ten sent most staff
members home, spokeswoman
Sue Lister said.
Commissioners were expected
to discuss how cancellations
might affect the complicated BCS
standings, which weigh game
results to determine the pairing in
the BCS title game.
In Division I-A and I-AA, 116
games were scheduled for
Thursday through Saturday,
including two others with nation-
al title implications-No. 8
Tennessee at No. 2 Florida and
No. 10 Georgia Tech at No. 6
Florida State.
College officials said they
would wait to see whether the
government freezes non-essential
air travel. Some tried to interpret
signals from the Bush administra-
tion that the nation would quickly
return to normalcy.
"It may be out of our hands,"
Big East commissioner Mike
Tranghese told reporters. "There
are a lot of issues, emotional
ones. Kids flying, playing in large
venues with a lot of people and if
the government says do some-
thing, we do it."
"This is one of those things
where you can't do the right
thing," Ohio State athletic direc-
tor Andy Geiger said. "You can
do what you think is the best
thing to do. Whether it's right or
wrong is for others to debate, I
guess."
There is precedent for wide-
spread cancellations and post-
ponements. As officials mulled
whether to play games this week-
end, the some schools suspended
the business of football Tuesday.
"After listening to comments
from several members of the
team, I decided that regardless of
whether or not we play the game
Saturday, today should be a day
for us to reflect on things other
than football," Bruins coach Bob
Toledo said.

Womens Soccer
Clarion Soccer team improves strategy in Ohio
by Laura Altman
Clarion Call StafT Writer
The Clarion womens soccer
team spent a long weekend on the
road, travelling to Finley, OH. to
play two tough games against
Siena Heights and St. Joseph.
The women played two very
intense defensive games but,
despite of their efforts, the team
came out t)f the weekend 0-7 and
03.
During the game against Siena
Heights, several good plays were
executed by Tara Harrington and
goalie, C.J. Gattens, but most of
the team was suffering from
injuries during the warm-up.
"Although the team considers
the game poor, all teams have one
bad game at some time or another.
The only thing we can do is put it
behind us and move on," said
coach Christina Alonzo.
The defense was scattered
throughout the field and commu-
nication was low. That allowed
our opponent to come at us with-
out a fight back," Alonzo com-
mented.
On Sunday, the Golden Eagles
were ready to prove that they
came to play hard. Anna Goldman
scored a goal on a direct kick, but
it was called back. Tara
Harrington and Marianna Reino
both played outstanding games in
the mid-field. As a whole, the
team was much more organized
and had more of an opportunity to
be dangerous in the opponent's
defensive field.
Leading the Golden Eagles is
new head coach Christina "Nina "
Alonzo, a former assistant coach
at Allegheny College. Alonzo
believes that the team has set real-
istic goals, as it works on estab-
lishing the program and winning
with an all-freshmen squad.
"I think it's going to be long,
hard season, but a good learning
experience for those involved,"
said Alonzo.
The main goal of the team is to
go .500 on the season. The
Golden Eagles also plan to work
on team-building experiences and
improvement through the year. By
doing this, everybody will keep
getting better throughout the sea-
son and be more prepared for the
future to compete against strong
competition.
With this being the first year of
the program, Alonzo has only
been able to observe the players in
practice and the Ferris State
Tournament. She has been
impressed by the team's perfor-
mance. The main attribute with
the team is hard work and deter-
mination. The women are moti-
vated, dedicated and give 110 per-
cent. Their attitude is great and
their work ethic and effort shows
out on the field.
Another sign of optimism is the
relationship among the players on
the team during the rough pre-sea-
son. A lot of the players had never
been through a preseason together
and because they all experienced
a preseason together, as one, it
was a bonding experience m
itself. They had tt) go through the
good times and the bad times of
the preseason together, and those
experiences have made them a
close-knit team.
During the games over the
weekend, being the first womens
soccer games in Clarion history,
there was definitely some ner-
vousness and excitement. The
players didn't know what to
expect because they have not been
in this specific situation before.
This is the first ever soccer team
tobe put on field, so we have to
take it one step at a time," added
Alonzo.
The team's strategy was a defen-
sive approach, with the defense
setting up the offense with
counter-attacks. The women put a
lot of focus during the preseason
on defense. Everyone on the field
is involved in the defensive plays
because of the need for high-pres-
sure, aggressive defense, and the
use of speed to attack offensively.
Due to some injuries, the starting

line-up was not completely cer-
tain, but the women played to the
best of their abilities despite of
this. Clarion's first home game
will be played on September 19
when the Golden Eagles host
Slippery Rock at Memorial
Stadium. Game time is 4p.m.

by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Call Sports Editor
Leading the womens team for the 2001
Fall season are juniors Erin Glatz and Cara
Bobish who expect to battle between the #1
and #2 singles positions. Both were PSAC
semifinalists in 1999 in singles and doubles
competition.
Glatz, a captain in the 1999 season, also
holds an MVP title. She went 8-4 including
6-2 at No. 1 singles. She won five straight
dual meets going into PSACs and went 1-1
at the tournament. In the Fall 2000 cam-
paign she was 2-3 in singles.
Bobish was also 8-4 in 1999 including 6-
2 at No. 2 singles. Cara was 2-4 in singles
play in the Fall 2000 season. Bobish and
Glatz will team up for the second straight
season at No. 1 doubles for the Golden
Eagles. The duo went 9-3 in 1999 and
advanced to the PSAC semi's before losing.
They were 2-4 in doubles play in the Fall
2000 season.
The remainder of the lineup should have

touch-downs. Ryn completed two
of four passes for 61 yards and
one touch-down. The Penguins
gained 541 yards of total offense,
including 451 on the ground.
Top defensive efforts were
turned in by Clarion's George
O'Brien and Chris Janson.
O'Brien posted II tackles and 3
tackles for losses, while Janson
had 11 stops. Safety Korey
Eppinette had nine stO{», while
Dennis Yu, Kevin Platz, Doug
Diegelman and Tom Gaydosz all
had tackles for losses.
Clarion returns home to the
friendly confines of Memorial
Stadium next Saturday to host
Tiffin University. Kickoff for the
"Family Day" game is set for
2pm.
The Penguins, who have a 98-
30-1 record at Stambaugh
Stadium since opening the facili
ty in 1982, travel to Div. I Toledo
next Saturday. YSU, under first
year coach Jon Heacock, is 2-0.
The Penguins, under former

Clarion holds "Learn to Swim/Dive" Fall program
by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Call Sports Editor
The annual "Learn to Swim"
and "Learn to Dive" programs
kicked off their Fall session on
Monday, September 10 and
Tuesday, September 11 in
Tippin Natatorium.
The overall program holds
lessons for children in the
Clarion community and sur-
rounding areas. The sessions are
divided so that the children
attend two lessons per week,
either on Mondays and
Wednesdays or Tuesdays and
Thursdays. The program will
run for a duration of four weeks
in providing eight lessons per
child. The eight lessons will be
taught for a total fee of $50 per
child with a $5 reduction for
each additional person from the
same family.
The program is being taught
by students from the university
who are qualified in both swim-
ming and diving knowledge and
instruction. Members of the
Clarion University swimming
and diving teams are the leading
instructors.
The clinic will provide
instruction for all levels of
swimming ranging from non-
swimmers and divers to
advanced. Competitive swim-
mers can also benefit frolri for-
mal instruction from swim team
members.
This program has been very
succesful in the past years and
continues to uphold this tradi-
tion. Children generally show a
remarkable amount of progress
from this instruction. The clinic
is also a great way for small
children to become acclimated
to and comfortable within the
water.

Golden Eagle volleyballers set high season goals
by Danielle Foote
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Clarion University womens volley-
ball team has set high goals going into the
2001 season under first-year head coach,
Tracey Fluharty. Four returning starters
will lead the team to a victorious season.
The Golden Eagles return a total of
eight players from a team that went 18-20
overall and 1-9 in the tough PSAC-West
last season. The women have set three
goals for the 2001 campaign.
Leading the way for Clarion in 2001
will be the four returning starters, who
will once again be in the starting line-up.
They are senior AH Graham at outside
hitter, junior Beth Stalder at middle hitter,
sophomore Jackie Hill at setter and
sophomore Melanie Bull at outside hit-
ter.
Joining the four returning starters in the
starting line-up will be senior defensive
specialist Kate Waksmunski and sopho-
more outside hitter Ashley Riordan.
Graham, one of Clarion's co-captains, has

had an outstanding Clarion career. After
making a seamless transition from setter
to outside hitter last season she led the
Golden Eagles with 357 digs, was second
on the team in kills with 317 and assists
at 214 while adding 32 aces and 82
blocks.
Graham is fourth in school history with
1,523 assists and seventh in school histo-
ry with 888 digs, while adding 482 kills
and 179 blocks. She needs 112 digs to
become only the fourth player in school
history to reach 1,000 in a career and 398
to move into a tie for first in school histo-
ry with Christy Boes.
Stalder also played strong for Clarion
last year leading the team with 136 blocks
while coming in third on the team with
291 kills. In her career, she has 516 kills,
217 blocks and 122 digs. She is 96 blocks
short of moving into seventh place all-
time in school history, 101 blocks short of
moving into sixth place all-time, and 135
blocks shy of tying Jenny Better for fifth
in school history with 352 blocks.
Hill, Clarion's other co-captain, upheld
her position as setter during her freshman
year, last season. She had 1,408 set assists
to go along with 95 kills, 33 aces, 87
blocks and 3 14 digs. The 1,408 assists are
the second most in a single season in
Clarion history and the fifth most in a
career at Clarion. She is 115 assists
behind teammate Graham for fourth in
school history and only 1,582 assists
behind Wendy Ellenberger for first h
school history. In addition, her 314 digs
tied her for second on the team last year,
and the 87 blocks were good for third on
the team.
Bull led the Golden Eagles last season
with 333 kills while finishing fourth on
the team with 298 digs. She also added 37
aces and 23 blocks.
Waksmunski enters the starting line-up
after seeing action in 136 of Clarion's 140
total games last year. She has been a key
member of Clarion's bench the past three
seasons coming up with 381 digs includ-
ing 251 last season. She also added 38
aces in 2000 for the Golden Eagles.
Riordan showed glimpses of being a
steady player for Clarion last year despite
limited playing time. In 61 games she had
73 kills, 16 aces, HI digs and six blocks.
Currently the Golden Eagles have four
players coming off the bench who should
all see playing time including sophomore
defensive specialist Laurie Hepler, fresh-
man outside hitter Sara Heyl, sophomore
middle blocker Alissa McKinley and
freshman middle hitter Tonya Zatko. A
fifth player, freshman middle hitter
Colleen Sherk is currently unavailable
because of an illness, but should provide
solid play in the middle once she returns.
One of the things that will make this
season interesting is a rule change in
NCAA Division 11 volleyball that
changes the scoring from the traditional
side-out scoring to rally scoring. In rally
scoring a team scores a pomt every time
the ball touches the ground regardless of
who served it. To win a game, a team will
need to score. 21 points.
If last season is any indication, the
Golden Eagles might enjoy the new scor-
ing system. Rally scoring was u.sed last
year any time a team reached a fifth set in
a five-set match. Eight ol Clarion's
matches went five sets last season with
the Golden Eagles winning seven of those
matches.

Mens and Womens Cross Country
Clarion teams place in top three at California Invite
by Andrea Borek
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Golden Eagle mens and
womens Cross Country teams
started off the 2001 season on
Saturday, Sept. 8 at California
University of Pennsylvania. The
womens team finished second
place overall and the men
placed third. Both teams had
exceptional runs for the first
meet of the season.
The Golden Eagle women
took everyone by surprise with
their second place standing at
the invitational. Jen Boerner
turned up the heat with an over-
all victory, taking the first place
title. Not far behind her was
first year rookie, Melissa
Terwillinger with an eighth and
captain, Wendy Kengor, in
ninth. "Also placing within the
top 20 finishers at the competi-
tion were Katie Szafran in 13
and Allison Borek in 16.
The Clarion mens cross coun-
try team also took a high stand-
ing during the invitational with
a third place overall finish.
Placing in the top 20 for the
men were A.J. Mayernik in 17,
Matt Mastarone in 18, and Ean
King in 20.
Head coach, Pat Mooney,
always goes into the first meet
of the season with his eyes open
to see what his runners can do.
Overall, he is very pleased with
the results of both teams.
Overall the men placed higher
in the invitational than last year,
but Mooney believes that they
have room to move up.
The Golden Eagles mens team
is efficient in depth and experi-
ence. Three seniors Ean King,
Matt Mastarone, and Gerald
Smith are expected to be the top
three runners on the mens team.
King, missed the first half of
last season with a knee injury,
but, should be able to return to
his sophomore form when he
earned both All-PSAC and All-
Region honors. That year he fin-
ished twelfth at PSAC's and
fourteenth at Regionals. Last
season he finished 24 at PSAC's
and 31 at Regionals.
Mastarone, who finished 54 at
PSAC's and 67 at Regionals last
season, hit a high point during
the spring track season when he
qualified for the PSAC's in the
5,000-meter run.
Smith finished 63 at PSAC's
and 70 at Regionals in 2000, but
was third at the PSAC track
meet in the 800 in the spring.
Along with the three top
seniors, two sophomores, Dave
Duriancik and A.J. Mayernik,
performed very well as fresh-
men. Duriancik finished 40 at
PSAC's and 37 at Regionals a
year ago, while Mayernik was
39th at PSAC's and 55 at
Regionals.
Pushing the top five runners
for the Golden Eagles will be
John Snyder, a junior who trans-
ferred from Thiel in the spring.
He earned All-Conference hon-
ors in both track and cross coun-
try while at Thiel and set the
school's 1,000-meter indoor
record.
Three seniors, Jason Bochert,
Matt LaPatka, and Brad Walker
could also challenge for a spot
in the top five during the sea-
son. Sophomore Chris Noal and
freshman Zach Ogden will also
challenge the top runners this
season.
While the mens team is deep
with experience, the Golden
Eagles womens team is very
young with two sophomores and
a freshman expected to be the
top three runners.
Leading the way for Clarion in
2001 is sophomore Jen Boerner.
Boerner had an outstanding
freshman season for the Golden
Eagles finishing 16 at the
PSAC'S and 30 at Regionals.
She was one place shy of all-
conference at the PSAC meet.
Sophomore, Ali Borek will
most likely be Clarion's second
place runner throughout the sea-
son. Last year, Borek was 43 at
PSAC's and 114 at Regionals.
Freshman Melissa Terwillinger
will also be battling for the sec-
ond place spot on the team and
placing in the top five for the
Golden Eagles.
The next three spots in
Clarion's line-up are filled by
returning runners from last sea-
son. Wendy Kengor, Linda
Bryce and Kathryn Szafran are
expected to battle for these posi-
tions.

From the Deep South to the
Pacific Northwest, dozens of
college football teams will take
the field Saturday as scheduled.
But in the Bay Area, Stanford,
San Jose State and Cal are shut-
ting down for the weekend.
Citing sentiment and security
concerns, Stanford and San Jose
State have postponed
Saturday's game at Spartan
Stadium until Dec. 1 - the earli-
est available date for both
teams.
"The games are insignifi-
cant," Stanford Athletic
Director Ted Leiand said in the
aftermath of Tuesday's terrorist
attacks in New York and
Washington.
Not everyone agrees. The Big
East and Atlantic Coast confer-
ences have canceled or post-
poned all games.
But the Pacific- 10 Conference
is split. Five teams won't play
(Washington, UCLA, Arizona
State, Stanford and Cal, which
called off its game at Rutgers).
But Washington State and
Oregon State will play if their
opponents can travel by Friday.
The Southeastern, Big Ten,
Big 12, Mountain West and
Western Athletic conferences
have left Saturday to the discre-
tion of their schools. Most are
planning to play.
"What we've been hearing
from Washington and President
Bush is that everybody should
try to return to normalcy," WAC
spokesman Dave Chaffin told
the Associated Press. "To do
that would be to return to the
games."
Ranked teams expected to
play include Oklahoma,
Mississippi State, Brigham
Young, Fresno State and Kansas
State.
Two of the three big games in
the state of Florida have been
postponed: Washington -Miami
and Georgia Tech-Florida State.
But the Tennessee-Florida
showdown will be played as
scheduled.
Each SEC school will donate
$1 million (from gate receipts
and TV fees) to funds aiding the
attack victims.
In a statement, the SEC said
its members "mourn the tragic
loss of lives" but that the games
"represent a meaningful oppor-
tunity to bring our people
together in a common expres-
sion of sympathy and mourn-
ing."
That might be true in the
South, where they say football
is a religion. But the Bay Area
schools seem to feel differently.
All three have canceled or post-
poned all sporting events
through the weekend.
"Everybody knows somebody
who was affected," San Jose
State wide receiver Casey Le
Blanc said. "It would have been
tough to play football on
Saturday."
San Jose State Coach Fitz
Hill, a Gulf War veteran, urged
people to donate blood.
"We've prayed for the victims
and their families," he said.
Tickets for the postponed
game will be honored Dec. I.
Kickoff is 2 p.m.
The matchup might have more
significance at the end of the
season than it would Saturday.
Six victories are required for
bowl berths. If either the
Cardinal or Spartans have at
least five, then the game could
have postseason implications.
What's more, it will be Senior
Day for the Spartans.
"I'm really happy and excited
they gave us a new date instead
of canceling it," Le Blanc said.
Both teams will have played
big games the previous week-
end, when Stanford hosts Notre
Dame and San Jose State hosts
Fresno State University.

Golden Eagles fall to Division I Youngstown State
Courtesy of Sports Information
Fifth rated NCAA Division I-
AA power Youngstown State (2-
0) used an explosive running
game and six Clarion (0-2)
turnovers to roll to a 44-0 win
over the Golden Eagles on
Saturday night.
Held at Stambaugh Stadium,
better known as the "Ice Castle,"
the partisan Penguin crowd of
16,019 had hardly settled in their
seats when talented tailback P. J.
Mays rambled for 77 yards and a
touchdown on the opening play
from scrimmage. Jake Stewart's
RAT made it 7-0 at the 14:37
mark.
After the Eagles made two first
downs on a 14-yard pass from
Adam Almashy to Justin Sickeri
and a Demetric Gardner 16 yard
run to the YSU 49, Almashy was
intercepted by Levar Greene at
the YSU 41.
Moving the ball to the Clarion
48 on a Jeff Ryan run, Ryan
tossed a perfect out route to
Jerald Burley who broke a tackle
and raced down the far sideline
for a touch-down and a 14-0 lead
at 12:44.
Clarion tried to rebound again.
The Eagles took possession at
their own 17, and on 2nd and 8
at the 19, halfTjack Robert
Walker darted 22 yards to the
Clarion 41, but the drive stalled.
After a 69-yard punt by Clarion's
Ken Crawford had pinned the
Penguins at their own 12, things
were looking promising. But on
second and five at the 17, Mays
look another deep handoff and
exploded up the middle, veered
to the left sideline and scam-
pered 83 yards to paydirt. The
Penguins had a 20-0 first quarter
lead.
Clarion all-conference guard
Ryan Duchon left the game early
in the second quarter with a foot
injury, which brought changes to
the Eagle line. On the next pos-
session Clarion quarter back,
Almashy, never received the
snap, and as the ball rolled loose
on the turf, Youngstown defen-
sive lineman Bruce Hightower
scooped up the pigskin at the
Clarion 6 and rumbled into the
endzone for another YSU score.
The Penguins also scored on
Darius Peterson's 27 yard run,
and Jake Stewart's 24-yard field
goal before intermission to make
it 37-0 at halftime.
YSU rounded out the scoring
with a Peterson 41 yard run at
9:08 of the third quarter.
Clarion entered YSU territory
twice in the second half but was
unable to score.
"Youngstown is an extremely
talented team and they will win a
lot of games this year," echoed
Clarion head coach Malen Luke
at the post-game press confer-
ence. "Their skill speed was just
too much for us," he continued.
"We had a lot of guys out
(injured) tonight and that hurt us
defensively. I think our defense
would have made an even better
showing with those guys in the
lineup. We were very thin in
spots."
"Our offense moved the ball,
especially in the first half. But
losing Ryan Duchon (Clarion's
all conference guard) early in the
second quarter changed what we
could really do against their
defense."
"With YSU scoring on the first
play, and on the second drive
too, that also took a little out of
us early. I did feel we played
hard to the final play and I was
proud of our team's overall
effort. We'll use this as a learn-
ing experience to sharpen us up
for the weeks to come. No mat-
ter how far we might advance
this season, there's no chance,
even in the NCAA Playoffs, that
we could play a team that's bet-
ter than the one we played
tonight."

Sunday Sept. 16, for the tragedy
that took place on Tuesday.
"Clarion University has exer-
cised courage by bringing the
prayer service to us tonight,"
said Father Jim Saluczak, of the
Campus Catholic Ministries.
Saluczak said a prayer for
those who are trying to rescue
the injured and the
deceased. He also spoke
momentarily about the
topic of courage and said
he was graetful for the
rescue workers' courage.
Saluczak wasn't the
only minister to speak
and offer prayers. The
evening featured many
ministers and represen-
tatives from different
beliefs and churches.
Rev. Keith Richardson,
pastor of the First
Baptist Church of
Clarion and President of
the Clarion Ministerial
Association, offered a
brief message from the
Bible.
"Last Tuesday our
nation heard a deafening
roar," Richardson said.
In addition,
Richardson said, "Last
Tuesday you heard a call
to repentance."
Richardson also said
he was disturbed by the
news that a Mosque was
attacked and that many
Arabic people have been
personally attacked.
He said he publically
denounces those acts of
terrorism as he
denounces the acts of
Tuesday.

quoted words from the Qu'ran.
According to Siddiqui, the
Qu'ran says that taking one
innocent life is equivalent to tak-
ing the entire generation.
In an earlier interview,
Siddiqui said, "This kind of
thing should not be blamed on
any faith."
Siddiqui said he agreed with
Bishop McCarrick in New York
City who said, "Lasting peace
only prevails with justice."
"This life is brief," Richardson
said, and "Only God can bring
good out of evil.
"Ultimately, the only answer
that showed itself Tuesday is the
Prince of Peace."
Dr. Jerry Belloit, professor of
the finance department and
member of the Clarion
Ministerial Association, intro-
duced the other ministers, speak-
ers and vocalists.
University President Diane
Reinhard was one such speaker
who thanked all who had helped
to bring this event together.
"Tonight we gather to remem-
ber those victims and families,"
said Reinhard.
Between prayers and com-
ments, those in attendance sang
hymns such as "God of the
Sparrow," "El Shaddai" and
ended with "God Bless
America." Those in attendance
joined hands during another
hymn, "Bind us together."
Clarion University Christian
groups, Koinoinia and
Intervarsity, joined together for
songs of praise and worship.
Three members of the Lift
Every Voice Choir sang a selec-
tion entitled, "I Feel Like Going
On." The entire Lift Every Voice
Choir joined the other members
and also sang a selection.
Other guests included Rev.
Mark Cummins, pastor of Zion
Baptist Church in Reidsburg,
who offered a prayer for the res-
cue workers.
"They paid the ultimate price
so others might taste freedom,"
Cummins said.
At the close of the service.
Belloit encouraged the audience
to stay to view the video that
was made by Clarion University
faculty members and students.
The film depicted Clarion

Sunday Sept. 16, for the tragedy
that took place on Tuesday.
"Clarion University has exer-
cised courage by bringing the
prayer service to us tonight,"
said Father Jim Saluczak, of the
Campus Catholic Ministries.
Saluczak said a prayer for
those who are trying to rescue
the injured and the
deceased. He also spoke
momentarily about the
lopic of courage and said
he was graetful for the
rescue workers' courage.
Saluczak wasn't the
only minister to speak
and offer prayers. The
evening featured many
ministers and represen-
tatives from different
beliefs and churches.
Rev. Keith Richardson,
pastor of the First
Baptist Church of
Clarion and President of
the Clarion Ministerial
Association, offered a
brief message from the
Bible.
"Last Tuesday our
nation heard a deafening
rt)ar," Richardson said.
In addition,
Richardson said. "Last
Tuesday you heard a call
to repentance."
Richardson also said
he was disturbed by the
news that a Mosque was
attacked and that many
Arabic people have been
personally attacked.
He said he publicaliy
denounces those acts of
terrorism as he
denounces the acts of
Tuesday.
Dr. Dilnawaz Siddiqui,
an practicing Muslim
and professor of the
Marwick'Boyd Auditorium was filled witti members of Clarion community and Clarion
University for ttie Prayer Memorial Service field Sept. 16. Tfie event was sponsored by Clarion
University and ttie Clarion Ministerial Association. The evening hosted various representative
from a wide variety of faittis.
communication department,
quoted words from the Qu'ran.
According to Siddiqui, the
Qu'ran says that taking one
innocent life is equivalent to tak-
ing the entire generation.
In an earlier interview,
Siddiqui said, "This kind of
thing should not be blamed on
any faith."
Siddiqui said he agreed with
Bishop McCarrick in New York
City who said, "Lasting peace
only prevails with justice."
"This life is briet." Richardson
said, and "Only God can bring
good out of evil.
"Ultimately, the onl\ answer
that showed itself Tuesday is the
Prince of Peace."
Dr. Jerry Belloit. professor of
the finance department and
member of the Clarion
Ministerial Association, intro-
duced the other ministers, speak-
ers and vocalists.

Ungodly garbage
September 20, 2001
We are at the start of another
semester, and now that we are
back, so is all the garbage around
campus.
We are finding some things on
our adventure to class that would
turn your stomach, and some
things that would just make you
roll your eyes.
What we have noticed behind
Ralston is especially disgusting.
There is a wide variety of items
that can be found. Anything from
cigarette butts to Gemmell waste
to used condoms to Band-aids.
It is pretty bad when children
are being dropped off at the Day
Care Center, and have to walk
past condoms and some even try
to pick them up.
That is a scary thought if you
are a parent and it is something
which can be prevented from
happening.
Another place we have noticed
covered with garbage is the steps
coming up from Gemmell.
As people walk to the different
residence halls or class, they are
eating their food and just throw-
ing the garbage on the steps or in
the bushes.
There is no need for this to be
going on. We are in college now
and we should be adult enough
to make sure that the garbage
gets from our hands to the
garbage cans.
Garbage cans are found on the
way to everything around cam-
pus. Just take the extra step and
put it in the right place so every-
one else does not have to walk
through it.
We have also noticed the trash
around campus is getting out of
hand.
On the way to some people's
apartments, there is a trail of
Band-aids which have no busi-
ness of being there.
Although we can't speak for
everyone on campus, we are
pretty sure other people don't
want to walk by used Band-aids.
Another bad find on the way
off of campus is used maxi pads.
There is nothing sanitary about
those napkins.
No one needs to see those
items, let alone walk through it.
"Stay-free should stay unseen."
Clarion University is a beauti-
ful, small school. Let's try not to
trash it up with unnecessary
garbage.
It will only stay nice and clean
as long as we want it to.
So give a hoot and don't pol-
lute!

condemn terroist attacks
The Association of Muslim
Social Scientists (AMSS) joins
the nation in condemning the
heinous terrorists attacks on
America Sept. 11, and calls on
law enforcement agencies to bring
the perpetrators to justice.
The AMSS shares the unyield-
ing anger shock, and deep sorrow
felt by all Americans, and offers
its condolences to the families and
friends of those who lost their
lives in the horrific attacks on the
World Trade Center (WTC) and
the Pentagon.
Muslims share with their fellow
Americans the psychological
anguish for the loss of loved ones,
as Muslims were among the vic-
tims in Tuesday's unsparing and
vicious attacks.
Dr. Louay Safi, AMSS vice
president, said that "committing
aggression and taking innocent
lives is deplorable in all religious
traditions, Islam included. And
those who direct their rage and
anger at people of peace defy both
religion and humanity."
As an organization dedicated to
outlining Islamic positions on
issues in the modern world, it is
the moral responsiblity of AMSS
to urge the media, government

and all fellow Americans not lo
sterotype Islam.
Since Islam forbids violence
against innocent men, women and
children, these reprehensible acts
of violence cannot be reconciled
with Islamic teachings.
With the sanctity of life as an
integral part of Islamic teachings,
these attacks are a crime in Islam.
The Qur'an states that "if any-
one kills a person - unless it be for
murder or for spreading mischief
in the land - it would be as if he
kills all of mankind. And, if any-
one saves a life, it would be as if
he saves all of humanity.
In fact, these barbaric and brutal
attacks on the WTC and the
Pentagon are attacks on humanity,
not only Americans.
Since a person cannot be held
accountable for another person's
actions, we urge fellow citizens
not to prejudge their Muslim
neighbors and make them targets
of hate crimes.
"Americans, regardless of their
rehgious affiliation, should unite
in the war against terror," said Dr.
Safi.

I'm back up on my
horse and ready to
ride it a few more
miles, 9§
-Tim Connors
Editorial, Tim Connors
I'm not going to lie when I say
things have been fairly crappy in
my book for the past few months
and then some. I honestly felt like
luck had dropped out on me and
left me holding the bag.
Now I'm not going to get into
the whole story on why I was
miserable, but I can assure you
I'm back up on my horse and
ready to ride it a few more miles.
What I would like to do though
is send out my thanks and grati-
tude to those of you who helped
me get back on the proverbial
horse. This is my tribute to all of
you.
To the one who smokes like
woman, though I might be your
Yoda, for the past few weeks you
have been mine. I can't say
thanks enough for lending an ear
to my problems. Furthermore, I
would like to say even though
you spit all the advice I have
given you in the past back at me,
it helped me realize it can work
for me.
To the one who I have known
longer than anyone else, you
might feel you had little impact
in my return to sanity but you did.
Thank you for staying by my side
and offering what assistance you
could.
You gave me the one piece of
advice you could and it was prob-
ably the best piece of advice I
could hear.
To you who I have rebuilt the
bridge of friendship, I must say if
you don't hate me for the simple
fact of chewing your ear off about
the same things over and over I'm
a lucky p)erson. Your words have
finally sunk in through my thick
skull, and they are all true.
Thank you for putting up with
my tangents, drunken and sober. I
would also like to say you were a
key part in holding me up when I
didn't have the strength to do it.
To the the fine people who share
my fate at Destinta, I don't know
where to begin. You put up with
my ever so enjoyable bitter
moods and suffered the brunt of
those moods.
You also lent an ear when it was
needed and offered what you
could to better my situation. I'm
sorry if I was a pain at times ad
thank you for not beating me
senseless.
To the one who shared almost
the same situaitons, I know we
had our personal conflicts in the
past, but I'm glad we were able to
put those behind us. Thanks for
offering what you could to assist
me. Also thanks for all the ciga-
rettes.
To my family here in Clarion, in
my times of need I was always
able to turn to you. As always I
can rely on you to help with the
trials and tribulations that are
placed in front of me, and in
return, I can offer the same to you
when you need it.
Though we might have had our
differences just remember, what
family doesn't?
To the one who had the joy of
playing both sides of the ball, I
must say thank you for taking the
time to hear my words. Most peo-
ple would have said "forget it"
and left it at that but you didn't.
Why, I may never know, but once
again thank you.
Finally, to my other skinny half,
we've seen it a lot in the past
three years. Up, down, left and
right you have helped me through
so many things. I'm glad to have
a friend like you in my life.

-John Gerow
Hyde Park, John Gerow
September is more than half
spent and I know that the first
frosty mornings are not long
away.
My robins have fled south, and
I notice that other birds are flock-
ing, getting set for their migra-
tion. Winter, with all that it is
with all that it means, lies waiting
somewhere just beond tomorrow.
Time is of the essence now, as it
is, once again, later that I think. I
gaze out across the lake and con-
template my summer love affair
with this place.
April — the surface of the lake
rough and wind-tossed, steel gray
beneath a steel gray sky. The
forests around the shore are still
their winter gray.
Kahle Lake, hidden here in
these folds in the earth waits for
spring to quicken her. I study the
water and the wind, not really
sure what it is that I need to know.
June — and late spring brings
life to the lake and to the shores.
The woods are full of trees in
countless shades of green, reach-
ing gratefully toward the sun.
I am struggling to learn my
boat, I do not take the time to
revel in spring's glory on the
lake. My learning comes in fits
and starts, somewhat like the
winds that dance across the water.
I am finding some of the com-
fort in tranquility that I thought I
might find sailing, but I am learn-
ing some hard lessons about the
wind, the water, and the ship.
July — full summer stretches
majestically across the plateau,
with a bright hot sun in a brassy
sky and winds that whisper of
thunder storms just over the hori-
zon.
The water on the lake is blue
enough to mirror the sky, and
clouds dance and sail across the
sky, teasing me while I continue-
to learn my new, chosen, art.
August — and the taste of fall is
in the air. The land around the
lake is almost corrupt in the full
summer richness. The forests are
almost overburdened with their
cargo of leaves.
Spring's promise has been ful-
filled. My children find time in
their busy teen age lives to spend
two weeks with Dad at the tail
end of summer.
We manage to steal three after-
noons to go sailing. I want to
share my new passion with my
children, who have always been
my first love.
I hope that they too will sense
the potential for peace and quiet
that sailing offers.

/ hope that they too

that sailini^ cff^'f'"^- 99
-John Ghrow
Hyde Park, John Gerow
September is more than half
spent and I know that the first
frosty mornings are not long
away.
My robins have fled .south, and
I notice that other birds are flock-
ing, getting set for their migra-
tion. Winter, with all that it is
with all that it means, lies waiting
somewhere just beond tomorrow.
Time is of the essence now, as it
is, once again, later that I think. I
gaze out across the lake and con-
template my summer love affair
with this place.
April — the surface of the lake
rough and wind-tossed, steel gray
beneath a steel gray sky. The
forests around the shore are still
their winter gray.
Kahle Lake, hidden here in
these folds in the earth waits for
spring to quicken her. I study the
water and the wind, not really
sure what it is that I need to know.
June — and late spring brings
life to the lake and to the shores.
The woods are full of trees in
countless shades of green, reach-
ing gratefully toward the sun.
I am struggling to learn my
boat. I do not take the time to
revel in spring's glory on the
lake. My learning comes in fits
and starts, somewhat like the
winds that dance across the water.
I am finding some of the com
fort in tranquility that I thought I
might find sailing, but I am learn-
ing some hard lessons about the
wind, the water, and the ship.
July — full summer stretches
majestically across the plateau,
with a bright hot sun in a brassy
sky and winds that whisper of
thunder storms just over the hori-
zon.
The water on the lake is blue
enough to mirror the sky, and
clouds dance and sail across the
sky, teasing me while I continue-
to learn my new, chosen, art.
August — and the taste of fall is
in the air. The land around the
lake is almost corrupt in the full
summer richness. The forests are
almost overburdened with their
cargo of leaves.
Spring's promise has been ful-
filled. My children find time in
their busy teen age lives to spend
two weeks with Dad at the tail
end of summer.
We manage to steal three after-
noons to go sailing. I want to
share my new passion with my
children, who have always been
my first love.
I hope that they too will sense
the potential for peace and quiet
that sailing offers.

OPINION
Gerowl Hyde Park, from Page 3.
While the boys rig the boat,
Sarah wades along the water's
edge. The boys approach the rig-
ging relying on their sheer
strength; they do not have the
finesse that middle-aged men
learn to use when strength begins
to fade.
I marvel at my children; they
are so tall and straight and fair! I
see them at the lake, but I also see
them as toddlers playing in the
tree shaded brook below the barn
in a long ago, far away world.
We are rewarded one lovely
August afternoon by being
allowed to see a bald eagle soar
above the lake and dive into the
water to catch a fish.
It is a rare sight; and momentar-
ily at least, the three children are
silent in awe. They have wit-
nessed one of nature's greatest
sights.
We have a history of special
moments that must stand in for
my long, unwanted absences. Our
eagle afternoon is one more
moment that binds us together as
a family.
September and my lake is begin-
ning to take on its winter hue.
The water is black and promises
to be cold as summer fades away.
The forests that surround the lake
are beginning to show the first
sign of color and gold, red and
orange begin to push out the rich
summer green.
My special lake seems empty
without the children, but I know
this feeling well. For all these
long years now, my personal sum-
mer ends when the children leave.
I may never get over this old

litany. But still I sail. Time is of
the essence, and it is always later
than I think.
Sailing this afternoon reminds
me of a poem by Leonard Cohen
called "The Kite".
"The kite is a victim you can be
sure of; It pulls gently enough to
call you Master, strong enough to
call you Fool."
My sloop "Notorious" is a lot
like Leonard Cohen's Kite. She
lulls me into a near drowsy state
as the wind barely moves across
the water, and then she snaps me
back to reality by catching the
wind and racing across the lake,
like the devil himself is after her.
There are moments when I feel
a mastery of wind and sail; and
then there are moments when I am
bound in awe to the mastery of the
wind and sail.
Just when I begin to feel a touch
of pride and arrogance, the wind
and the ship conspire to remind
me that I am the interloper; and I
am battered into humility before
forces that I can barely compre-
hend.
Sometimes, Notorious and I
drift, almost at random, waiting
for the wind. And sometimes, I
am able to set a heading and sail
her exactly where I want her to
go-
And sometimes, sometimes, just
like life itself, I find that I am
going somewhere where the wind
wants me to go.
Sometimes, I am a very willing
victim. Septmeber is more that
half spent, and I know that the
first frosty mornings are not long
away. Winter, with all that it is
and with all that it means, lies
waiting somewhere just beyond
tomorrow.
Time is of the essence now, as it
is, once again, later that I think. 1
stole one more afternoon in the
sun and the wind with the boat.
Maybe, maybe, just maybe there
will be one more voyage before

Clarion University Honors Program expands
by Martisse Macrl
Clarion Call Staff Writer
President of Clarion
University, Diane Reinhard
said the Honors program will
be doubled. She announced
this during an open house
held for the Clarion
University community.
Reinhard read an official
proclamation to expand the
program during the open
house. The proclamation said:
"Clarion University is
proud of its tradition of acad-
emic excellence, affirmed by
the quality of the faculty and
their teaching, scholarship,
and creative contribution, and
the quality of its students and
their achievement.
Clarion University has
made significant investments
in its Honors Program and
wishes to strengthen its com-
mitment to providing oppor-
tunities for academically tal-
ented students to enrich their
education through honors
courses and co-curricualr
experiences."
Established in 1986, the
Honors Program's mission is
"to provide an environment
which challenges students to
develop their talents, to
extend their intellectual
capacities, to expand their
creative abilities, and to
develop a lifelong respect and
enthusiasm for learning."
The program consists of 21-
credit courses spread over
four years. In the first two
years, one Honors course is
taken per semester, consisting
of language skills, humani-
ties, social sciences, natural
sciences, and mathematics
taking up 15 of the 21 credits.
During their junior year, a
mathematics course is taken
giving the student an oppor-
tunity to use the skills and
knowledge attained in the
first two years. The Senior
Honors students, with help
from the faculty in their
department majors, design a
project to be carried out in
the following semester.
Dr. Hallie Savage, director
of the Honors Program, said,
"The rational for program
expansion is based on pro-
grammatic achievements.
This includes the quality of
the faculty, quality of incom-
ing students, resources avail-
able, learning environment,
curricula, and the satisfaction
of the program's alumni with
their educational experi-
ence."
Savage said several other
events will be held by the
Honors Program during this
semester.
They will sponsor two co-
curricualr activities, one each
semester. The topic for Fall
2001 is "Clarion University
in the 21st Century." Also
there will be a three-part dis-
cussion including the topics,
"A Time to Change," "The
Role and Function of
Teaching," and "Technology,
Governance, and
Leadership."
In Spring 2002, there will
be a discussion on stem cell
research headed by the biolo-
gy department.
There are currently 90 stu-
dents enrolled in Clarion
University's Honors Program.
One hundred and twenty
students have graduated from
the program. For a freshman
to enter the program, the
qualifications are an SAT
score of 1150 and a record of
achievements and leadership
in high school.
Sophomore, junior, and
senior honors students obtain
a scholarship and maintain
the scholarship as long as
they remain in the program.

13 faculty and staff members depart from Clarion University
by Khalia Robinson
Clarion Call Staff Writer
After a combined 360-plus years
of service, Clarion University
bids farewell to 13 of its most
familiar faces. Yet in putting the
past behind us. we open doors to
fresh faces and new ideas.
In 1966 and 1968 respectfully,
Janice Horn and Dr. George
Curtis joined the payroll at
Clarion University. Keeping up
with the pace of ever-advancing
technology can be a humbling
task. And after 33 years of ser-
vice, Horn proved that someone
has to take the initiative, or be left
behind in a sea of technical may-
hem. Horn retired this year from
her position as technical services
area coordinator.
Leaving behind his legacy as
vice president for student affairs,
Curtis had never been to
Pennsylvania, let alone Clarion,
when he took the position of
director of housing. Scaling his
way up to the top, Curtis became
an associate dean, and eventually
vice president.
"My best memories are of the
students I had the privilege to
work with," says Curtis. 'This
has been a marvelous experi-
ence."
Student Senate ultimately hon-
ored Curtis by creating the Dr.
George Curtis Hal Wassink
Outstanding Service Award. Co-
named for Mr. Hal Wassink, coor-
dinator of student activities-emer-
itus, the award is given annually
to a staff or faculty member who
has displayed outstanding service
to students.
The 70's brought in a slew of
leaders to Clarion's campus. In
1970, Dr. Ahmad Gamaluddin
joined the department of library
science. Since then, "Dr. G" as
many affectionately call him, has
served in many capacities; assis-
tant professor, department chair
and professor, and briefly as inter-
im dean. Being a man known
worldwide in the field of library
science, Gamaluddin also proved
to be an integral part of Clarion's
campus by creating courses that
formed the basis of what is now
the graduate program in library
science.
Dr. John Reed, Dr. David
Wright, and Dr. John Postlewait
all came to Clarion in 1971.
After .serving as an assistant pro-
fessor of naval science at the
University of Missouri, and as an
instructor at the U.S. Naval
Academy and American
University, Reed, former profes-
sor of administrative science,
accepted a position with Clarion's
College of Business
Administration. Among other
achievements. Vantage published
Reed's book, "Elementary
Investing: Stocks, Bonds, and
Options" in 1984.
Upon arriving, Wright thrust
himself right into the throne as
chair of the Speech
Communication and Theater

Department. Wright taught vari-
ous courses and included himself
in many pertinent campus affairs-
particularly in assisting with the
implementation of APSCUF at
Clarion University. Besides shar-
ing himself with the people on
Clarion's campus, Wright also
branched out into the community,
serving 20 years as state represen-
tative for the 63rd District in
Pennsylvania.
Bringing continuous innova-
tions to Clarion's campus,
Postlewait, previous director of
the university's Drug and Alcohol
program, also became one of
many faces to join Clarion's fam-
ily in 1971. Over the years,
Postlewait has served as the
director of both Public Safety and
the Drug and Alcohol program,
and as advisor to the
Interfraternity Council (IFC).
Speaking of his many accom-
plishments Postlewait said, "One
of my student workers, David
Connan has become the youngest
to gain the rank of lieutenant in
the Pennsylvania State police."
Postlewait moves on to be an
associate publisher at "TRAVEL-
HOST" magazine in the
Harrisburg area.
In 1972 brought forth the arrival
of Dr. Herbert BoUand, Chair of
Counseling Services-Emeritus
and Dr. Anne Day, former profes-
sor of history. Not only did
Holland serve his community by
working with the Clarion County
Mental Health Council, he also
prompted the expansion of the
counseling services department
and helped strengthen the bond of
many "human service" depart-
ments on Clarion's campus (resi-
dence life and career services).
Day proved to be an asset U) the
campus in a variety of different
manners. Amongst numert)us
accomplishments. Day was one of
the originators of the "Making
Connections" program for fresh-
men, she was once Acting
Affirmative Action Officer, and
Day's intellectual documentation
has been published appro.ximately
ten times (including two text-
books). One of Day's most presti-
gious honors was receiving the
Suzanne Brown Teaching Award.
In 1974, Dr. William Campbell
and in 1978, Mr. James Holden
joined the Clarion University
team. Campbell, a
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
certified Ci'A, served many years
on the College of Business
Administration's MBA study
committee. Campbell was a long-
standing treasurer of APSCUF
and has been twice nominated for
"Who's Who Among America's
Teachers."
Holden, known well at the
Clarion and Venango campuses,
has a long list of accomplish-
ments attached to his name.
Among these accomplishments
are former department chair of
the CIS department, co-founder
of the wellness Advisory Board,
president, vice president and trea-
surer lor the PA Association of
Computer and Information
Science Educators, and Franklin
Area Chamber of Commerce's
1994 "Man of the Year"
Dr. Timothy Wilson was the last
of the retirees to join the Clarion
team in 1987. Wilson, former pro-
fessor of marketing, has taught
many students internationally.
During his time at Clarion,
Wilson won a Senior Fullbright
Award to lecture at the Technical
University of Civil Engineering
in Bucharest, Romania. In 1996-
97, Wilson served as editor of the
"Pennsylvania Journal of
Business and Economics," and
has published over 130 vocation-
al articles during his career.
Recently, the department of stu-
dent affairs and the department of
university advancement com-
bined. Since Curtis retired.
President Diane Reinhard
appointed Mr. Harry Tripp to the
new position of vice president of
the new division of Student and
University Affairs. Tripp has bla-
tantly demonstrated his ability to
lead others through his various
leadership positions at Clarion
and other universities. Tripp
helped Clarion raise over $11.4
million for its first extensive cam-
paign, "Investing in Futures."
Tripp has appointed Carol Roth as
assistant vice president of
advancement and planning and
Mr. Ron Wilshire as assistant vice
president of advancement and
university relations.

Open ForumI Freshmen senators elect voice ideas, from Page 6.
of Student Senate. Candace French said,
"Working together is a system of checks
and balances so if one person doesn't have
the time to get something done, then anoth-
er person can pick up after him or her."
President Ben Chervenak asked candi-
dates to describe a situation in which they
were faced with some type of conflict and
to explain how they dealt with their issue.
Douglas Rowell, Jr. explained that when he
is faced with a conflict, he is driven to
work harder. He said, "If I see something
and 1 know I can have an effect on it, I'll
affect it the best way I can."
President Chervenak and Senator Tim
Smith both asked questions regarding time
management and involvement in other stu-
dent organizations. Most candidates were
confident that they could handle Student
Senate by prioritizing their activities and
eliminating unnecessary parts of their rou-
tmes. Keegan Baldauf said he does not
foresee any problems in this respect; he
currently has a lot of free time in which he
has been looking for things to do.
Another question President Chervenak
raised dealt with how the potential senators
would promote their voices to the rest of
the university. Many candidates mentioned
trying to get involved as much as possible
with others on campus. Sarah Snyder also
said she feels it is important to set a good
example and to earn the respect of others.
President Chervenak concluded the Open
Forum by explaining how Senate can be
very demanding at times, but the hard work
is worth the effort. He encouraged all can-
didates to promote themselves throughout
the rest of the week. Elections are sched-
uled for Wednesday, September 19 at
Chandler Dining Hall beginning at II a.m.
and Thursday, September 20 in the main
lobby of Gemmell from 1 1 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Although there are only two open seats
for the 2001-2002 academic year. Senator
Washington and Senator Smith invited all
six candidates to stay involved by joining
some of the sub-committees of Student
Senate.
In addition. Parliamentarian Wendy
Kengor said, "I wish we had six open spots
because all of the candidates would repre-
sent Senate extremely well. I hope this
does not deter them from running in the
future."
The Open Forum concluded with each
candidate standing up to thank Senate for
the opportunity to speak out and present
their platforms. Overall, Treasurer Tom
Clopp was pleased with the evening's
events. He said, "I am impressed with the
turnout-six freshmen for two positions. At
regular elections, there were only 40 stu-
dents for 20 positions."
Every member of the Clarion University
student body is encouraged to cast a vote
this week for the two open spots on Student
Senate.
Clarion University honors seven "Distinguished Award" recipients
by Kelly Drevitch
C jarion Call Staff Writer
The Clarion Alumni Association
will present "distinguished awards
to seven people at the Fourth
Annual Alumni Association
Distinguished Awards Banquet.
The award-winners include: Lois
Albrecht (1952), Distinguished
Achievement; Lawrence Cirka
(1973), Distinguished Alumni; Dr.
Anne Day, professor of history.
Distinguished Faculty; Dr. Marlin
Hartman (1959), Distinguished
Service; Pete Mervosh (1953),
Distinguished Volunteer; Joanne
Vavrek, Distinguished Volunteer;
and Melachy McMahon (1972)
who received the Venango
Campus Distinguished Alumni
Award duriag Commencements in
May.
The banquet, Sept. 28, in
Chandler Dining Hall, adds to the
list of 2(X)1 homecoming activi-
ties. The festivities start at 5:30
p.m. with a reception and dinner
at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $15. For
questions or reservations, call
Linda Homer at 393-2637.
All seven of these award
receivers excelled and succeeded
and their hard work will receive
recognition for that.
Albrecht chaired the committee
at the State Library of
Pennsylvania, which designed the
Access Pennsylvania program.
The Access Program permits
Pennsylvania residents to borrow
from any library in the common-
wealth.
When Albrecht first came to the
State Library of Pennsylvania,
now called Commonwealth
Libraries, she held the oosition of
a consultant. In thai position she
helped institut'onali/e public
libranes in 'planning, continuing
education, administration, pro-
gramming of library services,
development ^nd evaluation of
LSCA grant proposal, resource
sharing, inter-library cooperation,
trustee responsibilities, and work-
ing with the Friends Group. Later,
she was promoted as coordinator
of advisory services for the
Pennsylvania State Libraries.
Albrecht took charge of initia-
tion, planning leadership and
direction of all programs of
library development. She also
made an impact to start the annual
library day and worked on the first
Governor's Conference Day and
Information Services.
Now, Albrecht is the President
and Chief Consultant for
Greensburg's Foresight Inc.
Albrecht graduated from Clarion
with a degree in library science
and mathematics. She furthered
her education at the University of
Pittsburgh, receiving her Master's
Degree and did additional work at
the University of Maryland.
Albrecht attributes her success in
her career to her family and hus-
band.
Cirka, who worked in a nursing
home while attending Clarion,
graduated with a degree in busi-
ness administration. At this time,
he also qualified for the State
Board test to be a licensed health
care administrator. He passed and
landed his first job in operations
of a health care facility in Warren.
Ironically, Cirka only came to
Clarion to play football.
Cirka changed jobs to American
Medical Affiliates in Clearfield. In
the next 12 ears, he worked there,
in Pittsburgh. Florida, and
Spokane, Washington. In 1987, he
joined the newly started
Integrated Health of Baltimore. In
1998, he retired as the CEO and
President.
Soon Cirka left retirement and
started his own company,
ULTRABRIDGE, an information
technology and date solution for
long term care and assisted living
industries. He is the CEO and
President.
Day has taught history at Clarion
since 1972. She plans to retire this
semester. Day always loved histo-
ry and enjoys helping future
teachers with proper teaching in
her classroom.
Her first attempt to help students
was the Project Flourish; a
Clarion program designed to teach
faculty to assist with the freshmen
year experience. Day's two major
teaching points include helping
students understand history and
relating it to today's world. In her
popular, "History in Headlines,"
she teaches how today's current
affairs happen because of yester-
day's history.
She also helped found and con-
tinues to help with the Making
Connections Program, which was
designed for freshmen level stu-
dents.
Day earned her B.A. in history
from Emmanuel College, a M.Ed,
from Salem State College, and a
Ph.D. in history from St. Louis
University.
Day began her teaching career at
Memorial Junior High, in
Beverly, MA and her first college
level course at University of
Hartford. She also taught at the
University of Connecticut, St.
Joseph College, Sacred Heart
University, and Niagara
University.
Last spring. Day also received
the state-wide Suzanne Brown
Excellence in Teaching.
Hartman feels Clarion
University helped him to succeed,
he tries to reciprocate back to the
school.
Hartman graduated in 1959 with
a mathematics degree and contin-
ued with his Master's and Ph.D. at
the University of Pittsburgh. He
landed his first teaching job at
Apollo School District. He then
taught at Gateway in Monroeville,
as a secondary mathematics
supervisor, teacher, and coached
baseball. He led his team in his
final year to the WPIAL title
match, where they lost 4-2.
In 1967, he joined Indiana
University of Pennsylvania's
mathematics department. He
stayed there for 25 years, includ-
ing six as the assistant department
chair. He retired in 1 99 1.
In 1994, he joined the Alumni
Association Board of Directors.
He served six years, two years as
president (1997-99). He also acted
as the Alumni Board
Representative to the Clarion
University Foundation for two
years.
Even after leaving the board in
2000, he still continued to help
Clarion. He and his wife, Cleva
(1959), established the Marlin and
Cleva Harman Scholarship at
CUP. The scholarship is for a
child of an U.S. veteran.
After graduating, Mervosh sp^nt
two years in the U.S. Army. In
1955, he began his teaching career
in the Penn Hills School District.
Fourteen years later, Clarion hired
him as an assistant director of
admissions.
In 197 Lhejoined the Highlands
School District and finally retired
in 1992.
Mervosh also helped organize
one of Clarion's semi-annual
alumni gatherings.
Vavrek, a graduate of Carnegie
Mellon University has accom-
plished so much in her time at
Clarion. In 1971, she moved here
with her husband. Dr. Bernard
Vavrek, a chair of Clarion's
library science department.
Vavrek will co-chair the 2002
Spring for Scholars Auction. For
the last two years, she has served
on this committee.
Recently, Vavrek was selected to
the board of Sawmill Center for
Fine Arts. She was also elected on
the Clarion Free Library Board,
vice-president of Clarion Borough
Council, member of the
Governor's Advisory Council,
and served as a committee mem-
ber to help Clarion's Judge Jim
Arner.
In the past 20-plus years, Vavrek
held the President's position of the
Clarion Free Library, Clarion
Library System Board, Clarion
District Library, Clarion County
Historical Society, and the Clarion
University Sanford Gallery
Board. The Clarion Chamber of
Commerce also honored Vavrek
as "1986 Chamber Citizen of the
Year."
After graduating in 1972 with a
B.A. in Social Studies, McMahon
started working at Nationwide
Insurance in Oil City. He gained
his Pennsylvania real estate
license and Insurance Broker's
license. He is also the owner and
operator of Nationwide's Oil City
office.
In 1988, he was elected and
served two terms on the Oil City
Council. In 1996, he was elected
as Oil City mayor and received re-
election in 2000.
During 1992-1998, he .served on
the Clarion University Alumni

teered for many years in tundrais-
ing for the Clarion Alumni

Music Review
The Rondelles don't want to grow up
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call L>/f.^W?.E*!iVi^
ARTIST/ALBUM: The
Rondelles - Shined Nickels And
Loose Change
FOR FANS OF: New wave
influenced punk-pop.
FOR FURTHER LISTENING:
Elvis Costello's This Years Model,
the Buzzcocks' Singles Going
Steady.
Early this summer, I went to a
record-release show for Pittsburgh
punk icons Anti-Flag. My friends
and I were mainly interested in
seeing Snapcase, who was open-
ing, but we figured "The Flag"
would be a good primer for the
upcoming Warped Tour.
That show was the first time I
felt I was getting older. The medi-
an age of the gathered crowd had
to have been about 16. My one
friend, who was sporting a Sick
Of It All shirt, was approached by
a pimply-faced young'un. "Dude,
who is that?" he asked. Our entire
group groaned inwardly. I prayed
to Joey Ramone's ghost that he
wouldn't ask me what that
"London Calling" slogan on my
shirt meant. After schooling the
the kid with a brief history lesson,
he replied, "Well, they're no
Blink."
At that, my group retreated to
the bar, where we sat with the
bewildered-looking parents that
had driven their teenagers to the
club. It was that show that made
me give up punk for the next few
months. "I'm too old for this," I
thought. "I should be listening to
more mature music... now where
did I leave that Godspeed You
Black Emperor! album?"
Now comes the Rondelles. I
won't go as far as to say that
they've sparked a punk renais-
sance with me, but I will say that
my Living End albums have
received more rotation than they
usually do as of late.
Shined Nickels and Loose
The Rondelles seem to practice
Calvin Johnson's creed of
"unlearn your instruments" to a
certain point; pounding out spiky
two-chord keyboard lines and
standard punk-pop guitar riffs
over bare-bones percussion.
What they lack in instrumental
prowess is more than made up for
with a genuine enthusiasm, sharp
Change, the Rondelles' debut
platter, is about as indie as you
wanna get. They're on K
Records, for one; the album
sounds like it was recorded in a
back alley on a Fisher Price tape
recorder, and the album is filled to
the brim with tuneful, catchier-
than-the-flu ditties about teenage
love, sex and pop culture.
wit, and even sharper songwrit-
ing.
Each song is attacked with reck-
less abandon; the band sometimes
barely finding its groove, and
threatening to rattle themselves
out of it when they do. Songs
such as "Strike-Out" build from
simplistic shout-out rockers to
glorious new wave tributes with
three-part harmonizing, all in
under three minutes, to boot.
Indeed, brevity is a tool that the
Rondelles understand the power
of. The album's 14 tracks rush by
with lightning speed, many of the
tracks never even reaching two-
minute maturity. This is a lesson
learned from albums such as
Wire's Pink Flag and Elastica's
debut (two albums that are touch-
stones for Shined Nickels... 's
sound). The Rondelles launch
themselves full-force into each
song, stumble not-so-blindly into
a climax, and pull out just as fast
as they came.
Even with Shined Nickels.. .'s
truncated running time, this would
get old if not for the group's two
aces in the hole: lead singer Juliet
Swango and mini-organist Oakley
Munson. It's no accident that
Swango has perfected a sexy girl-
next-door styled shout/croon
(only the sort of girl that secretly
pours over her Pixies records),
infusing even the weaker tracks
with enough personality to keep
them interesting. Their cover of
"Angels We've Heard On High"
begins with a voice informing you
that "up next is the Rondelles," as
if you'd forgotten. Fat chance of
that.
Oakley Munson's organ makes
like Ray Manzarek weened on the
Buzzcocks, sometimes irritable
and stinging, and other times
playful and bouncy, providing the
tracks with a much-needed
dynamic.
Lyrically, the album is filled
with words that could have come
straight out of a teenager's diary;
the sort of sentiments that kids
like Blink-Boy would memorize
and snicker at with their friends,
yet mature enough to make old
curmudgeons like me nostalgic
for their not-too-far-removed high
school years.
"Cafeteria Rock" comes on like
an anthem, with its repeated cho-
rus of "Food fight! Food fight!"
and others such as "TV Zombie"
are doe-eyed declarations of dead-
end puppy love. As Swango sings
in "Backstabber," "You bought
me bottled soda pop picked me
up right after your classes." For
those not content in just reliving
their prom night, there are deeper
emotions to be found, such as the
jealous frustration of "Six
O'clock."
Highlights of Shined Nickels...
include an irony-free cover of
Madonna's "Like A Prayer," the
bitter "Backstabber," and the
sinewy "Safety In Numbers." The
only track where the Rondelles
completely loose their footing is
the album's closer, "Fort
Siirrounded," which seems to be
an attempt to flex their shoegazing
muscle. It's messy, misguided
and sticks out like a sore thumb.
Calvin Johnson's lesson does
NOT apply in that complex, intri-
cate genre.
Shined Nickels and Loose
Change isn't going to spark a
musical revolution (or even a
punk/new wave revival), and
probably won't even end up on
many year-end best-of lists. ..but
damn - is it fun. Disconnect your
brain and just go with it. 3 1/2 out
of 5 stars.

Dave Barry's 'Big Blue Bear' adventures
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
You will die of jealousy when I tell
you who I recently saw live in concert:
The Bear in the Big Blue House.
For those of you who do not have
small children, let me explain that The
Bear in the Big Blue House is a major
morning- TV star. I'd go so far as to say
that, with his talent, some day he could
be as big as Elmo. We watch his show
every morning while we're feeding our
17-month-old daughter, Sophie, her
breakfast, by which I mean picking her
food off the floor and checking to see if
it's still clean enough to eat.
I like the Bear's show because it
meets the single most important artistic
criterion for children's TV: It is not
Barney. I hate Barney, because he is a
large annoying purple wad of cuteness,
and his songs are lame, and some of the
"children" on the show appear to be in
their mid-20s. They are definitely too
old to skip, and yet they skip every-
where. They must have a mandatory
skipping clause in their contracts,
because it is their only mode of trans-
port. If they were in a burning build-
ing, they would skip to the exits. 1 sus-
pect that when they finish taping the
Barney show, they skip behind the stu-
dio and drink gin.
On The Bear in the Big Blue House,
there are no children, only animals, the
main one being the bear, which I
assume is a guy wearing a bear suit,
although it moves in a realistic manner,
so it could be an actual bear wearing a
bear suit. The bear has various animal
friends, which are played by people's
hands inside puppets. (DISCUSSION
QUESTION: Do the hands wear the
puppets when they rehearse? Or is the
rehearsal just a bunch of naked hands
talking to each other.')
Anyway, one morning we were read-
ing the newspaper and picking
Sophie's food off the floor, and sud-
denly my wife said: "The Bear is going
to give a live concert in Miami!"
"The Bear in the BIG BLUE
HOUSE??" I said.
"Yes!" she said, and we both became
more excited than when the Berlin Wall
fell. This gives you an idea how pathet-
ic it is to be the parent of a small child.
Of course we got tickets to the show,
which was also attended by, at a con-
servative estimate, every small child in
the western hemisphere. There has
probably never been an event where
more audience members were wearing
diapers, other than a Tom Jones con-
cert.
The bear's show was excellent by any
artistic standard, except the standard of
being able to actually hear it. That was
because at any given moment, at least a
third of the audience was crying.
Fortunately, Sophie was in a good
mood: She stood on our laps for the
whole show, clapping and shouting
"Yayyyy!" in response to everything
that happened, including the announce-
ment that flash photographs were pro-
hibited.
Despite the audience noise level, it
was possible, if you listened hard, to
follow the program. It opened with one
of the bear's hit songs: "What's That
Smell?"
"Hey!" I shouted to my wife. He's
singing 'What's That Smell?!'" We
sang along, as did many other parents.
Meanwhile, all. over the theater, young-
sters responded to the song by shout-
ing, shrieking, falling down, running
away, crying, babbling, rolling on the
floor, sleeping, gurgling, burping and
going to the bathroom. At the end of
the song, Sophie clapped her hands and
went "Yayyyy!" This was the basic
procedure for all the rest of the songs.
During the intermission, vendors
came into the theater to sell — I swear
— helium balloons. Many children got
them, which meant that the audience,
in addition to not being able to hear,
could not see. Nevertheless, we parents
continued to sing along to such hit
songs as "Magic in the Kitchen," "The
Bear Cha Cha Cha" and my personal
favorite, "Otter Love Rap," a hip-hop
style of song that explores the too-
often-ignored topic of otters who love,
and the otters who love them. I don't
mind saying that I was "getting down"
to that particular song, and so was
Sophie, to judge, from her comment
when it ended ("Yayyyy!").
It was a fine father-daughter moment,
made only slightly bittersweet by the
knowledge that, soon enough, Sophie
will want to go to concerts by some
synthetic prefabricated soul-free "boy
band." She'll want me to drop her off
out front of the concert and then disap-
pear, lest I embarrass her in front of her
friends by the mere fact o\' my exis-
tence. But for now, for a little while.
I'm as cool as anybody she knows.
Yayyyy.
Martin Luther King Jr. Series opens with Street Beats
by Becky Borgony
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Martin Luther King Jr. speaker series kicked
off this year with its opening presentation of "Street
Beats" at Hart Chapel last Tuesday night. This per-
formance tied in with the series theme of "Leadership
and Achievement Through Diversity" that the organi-
zation has chosen. The performance featured a band
of five talented young men from New York City,
including Dennis J. Dove, Travius J. Sharpe, Darrell

The per-formers of Street Beats jam onstage.
Dove Jr., David Dove and Jared "Choqiatte"
Crawford.
The show featured a wide variety of music through-
out the performance including latin, jazz and hip-
hop. In addition to the instrumental performances,
they also featured comical skits as well as singing
and dancing. Crowd participation was a must, as the
band brought the audience to their feet time and time
again.
Doug Girvan, one of the Martin Luther King com-
mittee sponsors, described the atmosphere and the
way the crowd reacted towards the group as "infec-
tious."
"Street Beats" also featured a sequence where they
performed on buckets to demonstrate to the audience
what it is like to be in New York City and experience
the music of the streets. A featured song in the per-
formance, "Afrofunk," which mixed music tempos
and beats from African and funk music varieties
demonstrated to the audience how native African
music is influencing modern music.
The opening moments of the show began with a
comical act which lead into a mix of modern hip-hop
music including a song from the late Notorious
B.I.G. The music in the performance changed tem-
pos from being music that was pre-recorded to
becoming instrumental music played by the band.
Darrell Dove said, "I always like to have crowd
participation." Whether it was dancing in the seats,
singing or cheering, the crowd both influenced and
became involved in the show. Each show that the
group performs is different from that of the previous
night.
Show variety depends on the time allotted and how
the crowd reacts to the performance. "Street Beats"
did not highlight the amount of crowd participation it
usually emphasizes in its show, which would allow
the audience to join the group on stage to perform
and express their talents.
Members of the band have numerous performing
experience and have been featured in a number of
films, commercials, music tours as well as musicals,
including the original cast of Broadway's "Bring In
Da Noise, Bring In Da Funk."
"Choqiatte" also went on tour with Lauryn Hill and
is currently working on his off-Broadway production
of "Keep Banging," which is set to go out and tour
the country soon. He also hopes to have his new
album, which is untitled at the moment, to be out
shortly as well.
The talent, enthusiasm and love for music was evi-
dent in this performance of "Street Beats." The large
crowd that gathered in Hart Chapel that night was
treated to a little piece of New York culture.

Aries (March 21-Aptii 20i Property agreements or old family documents may cause
delays. Expect relatives or family tnends to request detailed information or financial
permissions. Many Aries natives wiH soon expand home security.
Taurus (April 21 -May 20). Complicated social promises from the past may require an
extra effort. Watch for close friends or colleagues to openly discuss yesterday's social
events changed plans or romantic tnangles. Delicate issues may be involved.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). A recently silent fnend may challenge your ideas or opinions.
Watch for loved ones to express disappointment in past social decisions. Key areas of
concern may involve demanding work habits, old vs new friends or complicated group
events.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). A close fnend may compete for your attention or emotional
support. Although loved ones may demand extra time and energy, long-term friends will
also need your ongoing dedication. Avoid group meetings or quickly planned social
gatherings. . . ^ ,
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22), Key officials may. soon demano added efforts and dedication.
Expect small projects to become increasingly complicat-d. Scattered ideas or revised
time limitations may cause delays or confusion.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A close fnend may request delicate romantic advice.
Personal relationships or private social triangles are complex. Expect others to reveal
rare encounters or emotional information. Some Virgos may also experience a subtle
change in a family relationship.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). After a fairly intense penod of social or romantic doubt, love

a strong concern.
Sagittanus (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Loved ones may be focused on small amounts of money

The National Council for
Accreditation of Coaching
Education (NCACE) has grant-
ed accreditation to Clarion
University's athletic coaching
education program.
Clarion becomes NCACE's
first approved Level III insti-
tution. Level HI accreditation
indicates that the program's
graduates are qualified for the
intermediate athlete, defined
as high school level and
younger.
"We are very pleased to have
our coaching program receive
National Council for the
Accreditation of Coaching
Education accreditation," says
Clarion University Provost
.Joseph Grunenwald.
"Assurance of high quality
through external validation by
professional organizations like
NCACE is one of the ways that
Clarion can demonstrate to its
students and other publics that
its programs are nationally
competitive. We are very
proud of the fine work of our
faculty that has led to this
wonderful outcome."
"The opportunity to be a
qualified coach will enhance
the ability of our graduates to
find teaching positions," says
Dr. Dick Taylor, professor of
health and physical education
at Clarion University. "The
national accreditation is an
outstanding boost to our pro-
gram."
Taylor has been involved in
coaching accreditation activi-
ties for several years, spending
the last three helping to gain
this accreditation for Clarion.
"I was fortunate to have
worked with Dr. Mathew
Maetozo when I worked at
Lock Haven University of
Pennsylvania from 1972-78,"
says Taylor. "He was a pioneer
in the need for coaching edu-
cation. He aroused my interest
in the issue of improving
coaching in the United States."
"It is an honor for Clarion
University to be the first insti-
tution in the country to receive
Level III accredited status for
its athletic coaching program,"
says Dr. Gail Grejda, dean of
the College of Education and
Human Services.
"This recognition by the
National Council for
Accreditation of Coaching
Education (NCACE) is a trib-
ute to the vision and detailed

"The President of NCACE
noted that Clarion's program
reflects the highest level of
professionalism and will serve
as a prototype for other organi-
zations seeking to promote
excellence in coaching prepa-
ration. He added that the pro-
gram is comprehensive and
clearly demonstrates a com-
mitment to quality coaching.
"Clarion University is proud
to lead the state in the number
of national accreditations. The
Coaching Accreditation brings
the total to 26 and, once again,
indicates that our programs
meet the highest national stan-
dards."
Founded by the National
Association for Sport and
Physical Education (NASPE),
NCACE is committed to,
"Quality Sports Through
Quality Coaching." It uses the
"National Standards for
Athletic Coaches" as the foun-
dation of its mission. The
"National Standards for
Athletic Coaches" were devel-
oped in 1995 and is endorsed
by over 140 sport organiza-
tions.
These standards serve as the
cornerstone for quality coach-
ing and provides the basis for
coaching education guidelines,
which address aspects of
coaching skill and knowledge.
They also outline the adminis-
trative support, personnel and
operational policies needed to
provide coaching education.
The area of study include:
injuries and prevention, care
and management; risk manage-
ment; growth, development,
and learning; training, condi-
tioning, and nutrition;
social/psychological aspects of
coaching; skills, tactics, and
strategies; teaching and
administrative aspects; and
professional preparation and
development.
"The review involves a great
deal of careful work by the
applicant organization," says
Drew Zwald, president of
NCACE.
"NCACE grants accredita-
tion to educational programs
that meet or exceed established
requirements deemed essential
to preparation of well-quali-
fied coaches. Clarion
University has successfully
documented content identified
in the National Standards for
Athletic Coaches and the
NCACE Guidelines for pro-
gram supervision, personnel
and operations.
Not only has Clarion demon-
strated program excellence,
but also in the willingness to
engage in the process of self-
study and folio preparation and
submission in the first year of
NCACE operation, your orga-
nization has shown profession-
al leadership at a high level."
NCACE is accepting mem-
berships from all sport and
coaching organizations that
have or support coaching edu-
cation programs or compo-
nents, and advocate the certifi-
cation of coaches at all levels
of sport.
NCACE is also recruiting
organizations that train coach-
es to join the NCACE registry
as an indicator of support for
quality coaching education and
the intent to seek program
accreditation.
NCACE's mission is to sup-
port qualified coaches for
sport participants through pro-
grams that provide quality
coaching education. The
Council reviews the quality of
coaching education programs
and encourages continuous
improvement of coaching edu-
cation.
The Council endorses nation-
al standards for coaches which
facilitate certification, evalua-
tion, and selection of coaches.
In addition, the Council over-
sees the development of
coaching education and guide-
lines for the review of coach-
ing education programs.
NCACE reviews coaching
education/certification pro-
grams that seek accreditation.
These reviews are based on the
program's compliance with
Guidelines for Coaching
Education and the National
Standards for Athletic
Coaches.
One measurement of the
quality of a university's acade-
mic program is the recognition
that programs receive from
accreditations by professional
organizations. These groups
often make national standard
measurements and that help to
tell if an academic program
ranks with the best.
A great source of pride is that
every one of Clarion's profes-
sional schools has achieved the
specialized accreditation
acknowledged to be the most
prestigious available to the
discipline.
Clarion University is the
only State System of Higher
Education university to have
specialized accreditations for
all of its professional programs
and with the addition of
NCACE accreditation, leads
the State System with 26
accreditations.

In addition, the Council over-
sees the development of

ing education programs.
NCACT: reviews coaching

grams that seek accreditation.
These reviews are based on the
program's compliance with
Guidelines for Coaching
Education and the National

One measurement of the
quality of a university's acade-
mic program is the recognition
that programs receive from
accreditations by professional
organizations. These grt)ups
often make national standard
measurements and that help to
tell if an academic program
ranks with the best.

Fans support first year team on victory conquest
by Stephanie DeFiorentis
Clarion Call Sports Writer
Clarion University's womens
soccer team played a hard game
on Wednesday, September 19.
hosting its first collegiate game
at Memorial Stadium. The
Golden Eagles competed for
their first season win against
Slippery Rock. Match time was
set for 4 p.m.
After playing five road games,
the team was really looking for-
ward to having their first home
game in front of their Clarion
fans.
"It's an honor to be a part of
the first Clarion soccer team. We
appreciate all of the support,"
said sophomore defender, Dawn
Jackowski.
In their first season of NCAA
Division II collegiate soccer.
Clarion has an 0-6 record to start
the year, but has played most of
those contests very close. And
all but one game has been score-
less into the second half.
Clarion has lost to Ferris State
(2-0), Aquinas (3-0), Siena
Heights (7-0), St. Joe's (Indiana)
(3-0), Gannon (2-0), and now
Slippery Rock (4-0).
Slippery Rock entered the
game with a 3-0 mark, including
a 1-0 PS AC slate. The Rockets
defeated Shippensburg 2-0 on
Sunday. Their top players
inclijjied Sara Arsenault who had
two goals and one assist, and
goalie Allyn Blind who has yet
to give up a goal in three games.
Clarion's lineup had starters
C.J. Gattens in goal, with Tara
Harrington, Josephine Reino,
Dawn Jackowski, and Rachel
Aul on defense. The mid-field-
ers will be Nicole Bell, Joann
Eddins, Ashley Rickrode and
Danielle Allemang, with the for-
wards being Marianna Reino
and Anna Goldman.
The Golden Eagles have not
scored a goal yet this season, but
Marianne Reino had five shots,
Goldman four and Rickrode and
first sub Chrystell Dean also has
two shots going into the game.
Gattens has led a strong Clarion
defense. She has glaced 100
shots and made 66 saves, and
only permitted 10 goals for a
2.59 GAA. She was named to

the PSAC honor roll for her play
against Gannon last week.
During the game against
Slippery Rock, Gattens had an
impresive 16 saves to improve
her overall record.
Harrington served as the top
defender for the Golden Eagles
during the game with several
strategic plays. On the offensive
side, Alisha Turner and Reino
worked the field, getting the ball
into Slippery Rock territory.
Despite of their effort, they
failed to score the first goal of
the season that put Clarion on
the scoreboard.
"We're in a building phase,
we're trying to play better as a
team. I am not worried about
losing. I care that after each
game we come off of the field
knowing we played better and
gave our best effort," said coach
Alonzo.
The Golden Eagles are also
home on Saturday at 2p.m.
against Bridgeport and on
Sunday at 12:30p.m. against

finish at the PSAC championship,
the team is excited at the many
possibilities of returning to or sur-
passing that mark for this season.
Head coach, Al Lefevre, has
returned for his third consecutive
season to lead the Golden Eagles
to victory. Since the time of his
arrival, Lefevre has coached his
players to improve their overall
skills, thus creating a stronger
team, and this season is no excep-
tion.
With the loss of only one senior
from last year's young squad, the
team is ready to return with an
improved group of experienced
golfers. The top five scorers have
returned from last year's squad
and are ready to make set some
impressive scores. Key returnees
are junior Ryan Peffer, sopho-
mores Mathew Biddington and
Paul Garris, and seniors David
Lichina and Anthony Tacconelli.
Both Tacconelli and Lichina
were all-conference last year.
Tacconelli served the role of sta-
tistical leader with an average
round of 74.9 strokes per round.
He also had the best round of the
season last year with a 66 at the
Millersville Invitational. His
score was only one stroke off of
the course record.
The Golden Eagles golf team
also has a lot of freshmen talent
coming into the program. The
rookies include Ryan Butler, Matt
Gibson, Matt Guyton, Alan
Hosford, Lou Jesiolkiewic, and
Jonathon Rogers.
This crop of young golfers
should prove that Clarion will be
a serious competitor in the PSAC
this year, as well as many years to
come.
The Golden Eagles will be on
home territory for the next match
on September 24-25 at the Clarion
Oaks Golf Club. The Hal Hanson
Memorial tournament has proved
to be an exciting early season
Invite over the years. The talented
group of players have high expec-
tations for this weekend and the
remainder of the season.

The Clarion Golden Eagles
gave a strong showing during
this past weekend's game
against Tiffin, Ohio. Gaining
ground for Clarion, (1-2) wide
receiver, Mike McCullum,
caught two touchdown passes
and led the Golden Eagles to a
27-14 win against Tiffin (0-3)
on Saturday afternoon.
Held at Memorial Stadium,
the "Family Day" crowd of
4,600 remembered all those
affected by Tuesday's tragedy
with a minute of silence.
Tiffin took a 7-0 lead at 4:36
of the first quarter on a three-
yard run by quarterback, Joe
Perchinske, capping a nine-
play, 80-yard drive. The
Dragons led 7-0 to start off the
game.
Clarion, determined to win on
their own territory, stormed
back scoring 14 unanswered
points to take a 14-7 lead going
into halftime.
The Golden Eagles drove 70
yards in six plays just to tie the
game after Tiffin's first scoring.
Mike McCullum caught a 42-
yard touchdown pass from
quarterback Adam Almashy at
2:18 of the first quarter.
Clarion capitalized on a Tiffin
turnover for its second score.
Clarion linebacker, Dennis Yu,
caused a Dragon fumble at the
Tiffin 20. That fumble was then
recovered by teammate, Doug
Diegelman, at the Tiffin 20 yard
line.
On the first play, halfback,
Glenn Lovelace, scampered 20
yards for the touchdown with
12:38 left in the second quarter.
Clarion took the second half
kickoff and drove 75 yards in
six plays to build a 21-7 advan-
tage. Adam Almashy's 22 yard
run to the Tiffin 16 set up a 16
yard touchdown run by Robert
Walker.
The Golden Eagles put the
game away in the fourth quarter
after getting the ball on downs
at the Tiffin 21. Almashy hit
McCullum for his second
touchdown of the day, a 25-yard
completion, to give Clarion a
27-7 lead with only 2:05
remaining.

head coach (6 at Defiance), he
has a career record of 75-62.
Shippensburg, under veteran
head coach Rocky Rees, has led
the Red Raiders to a very
deceiving 1-2 start in 2001.
Ship opened the season with a
28-25 overtime loss at
Shepherd, and then lost 29-18 at
Bloomsburg (2000 NCAA run-
ner-up) before defeating
Millersville on Saturday 17-7.
Rees, in his 12th season at
Shippensburg, has a record of
62-62-1, and an overall colle-
giate record of 98-77-2 in 17
seasons.
The Golden Eagles, who were
7-4 overall a year ago and 5-1
in the PSAC-West, are hoping
to follow last year's formula to
finish on top of the division.
Last year's team also started
with two losses and a win on
their way to a strong finish. The
2000 Eagles defeated
Shippensburg in a wild 56-49
game at Clarion's Memorial
Stadium.

Blood drive transfers new life into community
by Amy A. Thompson
Clarion Call Editor-jn-Chief
The Clarion University blood
drive, held Sept. 25, in the North
Tippin Gymnasium, generated
169 productive units of blood.
The desired amount for the day
was 125 units.
In the first 15 minutes, 90 peo-
ple came through the door, said
Darlene Hartle, R.N.C., health
educator and director of the drug
and alcohol program.
Throughout the day, 203 people
came through the door. Because
of a two to three hour wait all day,
another 90 people signed rapid
response cards.
Donors who signed
rapid response cards
gave their contact infor-
mation where they could
be reached in case of
donation emergencies.
Another 15 donors
were deferred due to
colds, low iron or other
reasons, Hartle said.
Thirteen units of blood
were incomplete because
donors became faint and
for other reasons, said
Hartle.
The incomplete units
don't go to waste as they
can be used for testing.
Of the units donated, 43 donors
were first time donors.
"I have not seen so many people
and so much help ever at a blood
drive," Hartle said.
Alpha Sigma Tau sorority,
Sigma Pi fraternity and Interhall
Council helped at the blood drive.
Hartle said these groups helped
despite having to work on their
Autumn Leaf Festival floats.
There wasn't a single "crabby"
person, worker or donor, all day,
said Hartle.
Hartle also said one Sigma Pi
brother came in at 7:30 a.m. to set
up chairs by himself
The blood drive finally finished
after clean-up at approximately 7
p.m. The Red Cross even ran out
of coolers to transport the blood.
Another blood drive will be tak-
ing place at Owens-Brockway,
Oct. 2, in the Clubhouse from
9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The event will serve homemade

Early ALF
As the year at Clarion University goes on, many of us sit around
and wait for the hightlights of the year, the biggest one being ALF.
This year though, it is different. Autumn Leaf has graced Clarion
County earlier than usual.
There are many feelings about this, some positive and some nega-
tive.
We feel that it is too soon in the semester for ALF to be going on.
One of the biggest reasons for this reaction is because the leaves
have not begun to change.
Part of ALF is seeing all the different colored trees when you look
off into the distance. This year we do not have that.
Another part of the festival is that we are used to having it during
the month of October.
When looking around and seeing green on the trees instead of the
warm colors of Fall, it is kind of depressing. The two are just asso-
ciated together.
Another problem that has arisen due to the early arrival of ALF is
fraternities and sororities are finding it hard to get their floats done
on time.
They are having problems finding the funds from different com-
panies in Clarion.
If ALF wasn't so early this would not be a problem and everything
would be going according to the schedule.
One benefit of having ALF this week, is the weather has now
changed into typical ALF weather.
Instead of the warm days we were having, the cold weather has
caught up to ALF.
The rain has also seemed to help with the change.
Would it be a typical Autumn Leaf Festival without rain?
So is making the change easier to deal with because of the weath-
er? We really don't think so. So maybe this isn't so bad after all.
We know that no matter when ALF is going to take place, it will
be the same great celebration that it has been in years past.
This is what Clarion is known for and it will go on no matter what
the date is.

ical crisis, "Understanding Terrorism and the U.S.
Response."
It will be held Thursday, Oct. 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Hart

The purpose of the forum is to help students and
the public to gain a broader perspective on the events
of Sept. 11, the response of our government and the
impact on our nation.
All students, faculty and the public are cordially
invited. There will be plenty of opportunity for ques-
tions and audience participation.
The interdisciplinary panel will consist of the fol-
lowing members: Patrick McGreevy, of the
Anthropology/Geography/Earth Science department;
Thomas Rourke and and Kevan Yenerall, both of the
Political Science department; and Julia Bartkowiak
from the Philosophy department will serve as the
moderator.

Reader questions source of Sept. 11 attacks
Dear Editor,
Since the terrorist attacks on the
Pentagon and World Trade Center,
all I have been hearing on televi-
sion is that it is probably the work
of Osama bin Laden. Why?
The number of people around
the world that are angry over U.S.
foreign policy is extremely large.
Iraqis are angry over the contin-
ual bombings, the sanctions
which have killed over a million
people and the depleted uranium
used in bombing that has caused
leukimia and other cancers.
Yugoslavs are angry over the
bombing and dismemberment of
their country.
Palestinians are angry over U.S.
support for Israel.
Latin Americans are angry over
decades of U.S. -supported coups,
death squads, torture, missing
people and ruthless dictators.
Africans are angry over U.S.
support for apartheid and the
proxy wars by Renamo and
The difficult task for
the American people is
to change U.S. foreign
policy.... §§
-Gary Sudborough
UNITA in Mozambique and
Angola that have caused the
deaths of millions of people.
Indonesians are angry over the
bloody dictatorship of Suharto.
I could go on and on.
Now, President George W. Bush
will undoubtedly massively bomb
another country, probably
Afghanistan, causing the loss of
more innocent lives and possibly
commit U.S. ground forces in a
search for Osama bin Laden.
Incidently, the CIA was respon-
sible for bringing the Taliban to
power by financing the fight
against the Russians.
This policy will only exacerbate
the situation and bring more ter-
rorist attacks.
I am appalled at the suffering
and loss of life in New York City
and Washington D.C.
It is a terrible tragedy and could
lead to the loss of civil liberties
and will result in a headlong rush
to Star Wars and militarization to
the detriment of Social Security,
education, the infrastructure, the
environment, etc.
The difficult task for the
American people is to change
U.S. foreign policy from one
based on imperial might designed
to foster the interests and profits
of multinational corporations to
one based on peace, justice and
the interests of the common peo-
ple everywhere.
Then terrorism will cease.
Sincerly,
Gary Sudborough, Bellflower

The American Flag
was waving in the
crisp, night air in the
background. 99
-Jill Brennan
Editorial, Jill Brennan
On Friday, Sept. 21, my
boyfriend and I attended the B-94
Summer Stretch Concert at the
Post-Gazette Pavillion. It is held
every year around the same time.
It was your typical concert with
thousands of screaming fans, but
something was different about the
concert this year.
It took place a week after the
Attack on America. It was a
chance for everyone to come
together, have a good time and
get a break from the depressing
newscast everyday.
Everyone pulled together in one
place for an evening of entertain-
ment.
The bands that were to play
were Bare Naked Ladies, Jessica
Simpson. O-Town, Smash
Mouth, Five for Fighting, Willa
Ford and LFO.
The Bare Naked Ladies did not
attend because they were person-
ally touched by the tragedy. A
close friend of the band was
killed in the World Trade Center
They made an announcement
the day of the concert requesting
that everyone bring a dollar sup-
porting the firefighters and a
white candle for a prayer vigil at
the end of the concert.
Jessica Simpson sang,
"Amazing Grace." The American
Flag was waving in the crisp,
night air in the background.
1 always thought the song was
beautiful, but this time, it touched
me in a way that it hadn't before.
I cried.
The other bands, made refer-
ence to the recent events by pay-
ing tibute with some of their own
songs they believed to be appro-
priate.
The mood at the concert was
hi"h energv, which is usual for
this kind of concert.
It was nice to see everyone
themselves even after all that's
happened.
The end of the concert, the staff
of B-94 asked everyone to stay. It
was pouring rain, but most people
stayed for the candlelight vigil.
You could feel a warmth and
love overcome the crowd.
Families and friends were
embracing each other and crying.
A moment of silence started the
tribute, followed by recorded
music for occasion by various
artists.
Some of the songs that I remem-
ber them playing were Boyz II
Men, "It's So Hard to Say
Goodbye" and Sarah
McLaughlin's "I will Remember
You."
It was a very sad moment, but I
believe it helped people really
deal with what is happening to
our country and to mourn for the
victims.
They also played a voice-over
of peoples' reactions to the plane
crash the moment it happened,
and you could hear them scream.
It was a very real moment for
me, and I felt an overflow of emo-
tions; anger, sadness for the fami-
lies and friends who have lost
their loved ones, but most of all, I
felt pride for how Americans are
sticking together.
That is what our country is built
on. and nothing, or no one, can
change that.
Watching the families and
friends holding each other made
me realize we should never take
our loved ones for granted.
We should always tell them how
we feel about them because life is
precious and short.

^ I felt fear that !
only experienced once
in a nightmare when I
was 18. 99
-Maegon Barlow
Hyde Park, 9-12
Dear friends and family:
I want everyone to know that
I'm ok.
Thank you so much for your
phone calls and e-mails.
Yesterday was a nightmare, and
when we were evacuated I had a
feeling of being lost like I never
felt before.
However, knowing that so
many people were thinking about
all of us in D.C. and New York
provided an unbelievable amount
of strength.
When I called home collect at
noon my Mom told me to 'be
strong'. Those simple words
helped me through the tragedies
of yesterday.
I was at work when the events
of the day unraveled. I was with
my colleagues watching CNN in
horror when we discovered that
the Pentagon, half a mile away,
had been hit by a plane.
We were also aware that an
additional plane was potentially
heading towards D.C, target
unknown. Everything was hap-
pening so quickly that reality
seemed suspended.
Anything seemed possible. Fear
was palpable in the halls and on
the Mall.
Ironically, it was a beautifully
sunny day, marred only by clouds
of smoke drifting over from the
Pentagon.
I felt fear that I only experi-
enced once in a nightmare when I
was 18. Fortunately, I was able to
stay collected and get out of the
center of the city.
I found a colleague, and he took
me with him to his house in the
suburbs until the situation was
under control.
Many innocent people died yes-
terday. I was lucky, and yet so
afraid.
This is exactly what terrorism is
''about, and simply for that reason
I refuse to give into this fear.
In all of the chaos and disbe-
lief, I witnessed the heroism of
people willing to make personal
sacrifices for the safety of others:
the security officers, firemen,
doctors, police, co-workers at the
Pentagon looking for friends, or
simply a friendly gesture by a
stranger to let one know 'we will
be ok'.
It is odd to find such humanity
against the backdrop of such an
inhumane act.
Today I am back at work for the
government, and my fear is trans-
lating into a deeper conviction
that the work we do here (non-
proliferation) is more important

Letter to the Editor
Panhel and IPC to raise money
for Sept. 11 tragedy
Dear Editor,
The Panhellenic Council and the
IntertVaternity Council will be
holding a fund raiser on Oct. 3 to
aid in the relief efforts for the vic-
tims of the Sept. 1 1 tragedy from
11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tables will be set up in the lob-
bies of Still Hall and Founders
Hall, along with the lobby and
rotunda areas in the Gemmell
Complex.
Any and all donations will be
greatly appreciated. The intention
of this fund raiser is to pull the
Clarion University student body
together for a common goal.
All of America, including col-
lege students, have been greatly
affected by the events of Sept. 1 1 .
This fund raiser is a small way
to say that we are proud to be
Americans and proud to help in
anyway we can.
As you walk past these tables
Oct. 3, please donate however
much you can.
Sincerely,
Lindsey Lowrie, Senior
Communication Major
Barlowl A letter home to her friends and family after the
Sept. 11 tragedy, from Page 3.
and urgent than ever before.
This was horrible, but what
scares me the most, and what we
are afraid to say, is that it could
have been worse.
Yesterday, I contemplated quit-
ting my job and moving to a
peaceful oasis far removed from
any center of political and/or eco-
nomic activity. I have decided
against this option.
I despair to think that these attacks
will breed a brutal nationalism in
our people. I believe strongly that
injustice breeds further injustice. I
hope that we are able to lead by
example rather than brute force.
Anger is destructive and often
indiscriminate. Too many deaths
attest to this fact. I hope the US
response to this attack is well
thought out, effective and
humane. I don't want to see more
innnocent people dying (any-
where)!
Today, I am thankful for all that 1
have. My heart and thoughts are
with all oi the injured, the dead
and their families.

ALF heightens alcohol awareness
by Linda Bryce
Clarion Call Contributing Writer
The Clarion County District
Attorney's office, Sept. 17, 2001, pro-
vided a warning for Clarion University
students who are anticipating a "party
time" during the Autumn Leaf Festival.
Getting arrested and convicted for
alcohol law violations could jeopardize
their career plans.
Clarion County Assistant District
Attorney Dave Speer offered the infor-
mation during an informational session
held for all Clarion University athletes.
Speer explained how the drug and
alcohol laws pertain to college students.
Speer expressed concern saying,
"Students aren't aware of the law. If
you aren't 21 you are wide open for
problems. Students don't realize how
severe the penalties could be."
Speer offered the following tips and
information for CUP students to consid-
er.
Outside parties. With the warm
weather outside parties are popular.
Police know this and will be looking for
people leaving the party with open con-
tainers or people who are stumbling.
This gives the police a reason to stop
people for questioning.
Open container ordinance. If people
are on Clarion Borough property (side-
walk, street, etc.) and are caught with
an open container of alcohol, they can
be cited.
Noise ordinance. Police have the
right to enter a premises if they can hear
noise or music 50 feet away. Speer
explains, where there is noise, there is
usually booze.
Falie ID'S. If a person is caught with
fake identification, they may be charged
with the same penalty as consuming
alcohol. The ID can be confiscated. The
bars are strict about this because if they
are caught with minors the bar is liable.
DUI. Any adult over the age of 2 1 can
have a legal blood alcohol content of
.09 percent or below. Anyone under 21
can be charged with alcohol law viola-
tions if their bhmd alcohol content is
.02 or higher. For a 160-pound person
the .01 percent limit is attained by
drinking one beer or one mixed drink or
one 4-ounce glass of wine in an hour.
Penalties for a first offense of a DUI is
a $300 fine, two years probation, DUI
school, 48 hours to two years in jail,
and license suspension for one year. For
a second offense, the fine increases and
a minimum of 30 days to two years in
jail.
Attempt to purchase, consume,
transport, or possess alcohol for
minors. The first offense will be a sum-
mary offense with a $300 fine plus
court costs and 90-day loss of driver's
license. The second offense is a $300
fine plus court costs and loss af driver's
license for a year. The third offense is a
$300 fine plus court costs and loss of
driver's license for two years. This
summary offense will not leave your
record.
Furnishing alcohol to minors. A per-
son can be charged for driving to pur-
chase, purchasing, taking money at the
door, or serving alcohol. In some
instances, the fraternal organization can
be charged. This is a misdemeanor and
the person will have a permanent crimi-
nal record. For future teachers and peo-
ple seeking government positions, a
criminal record could jeopardize job
opportunities.
Possession of controlled substances.
The laws for DUI apply.
Counterfeit drugs. An example of a
counterfeit drug is crushing aspirin and
selling it as cocaine. The penalty is the
same as selling cocaine. See Possession
of controlled substances.
School zone enhancement. If a per-
son is in 1,000 feet of a school or
school property (including the
University, IC School, Clarion Area
Elementary or High School) and is sell-
ing drugs, that person can face a prison
sentence of one to two years in a state
penitentiary. Speer said there is practi-
cally nowhere in the borough that is
safe to sell drugs.
Alcohol related assaults. If a person
is accused of an assault, they must plea
guilty and will receive a misdemeanor
or the person will go to trial. If people
go as a group and act out, they can all
be charged with some pretty heavy
penalties.
Speer also offered the following safe-
ty tips for students:
If you are at a party and are underage
and not drinking, you are legal.
If you are hosting a party and minors
come to your party and bring their own
alcohol, you are liable.
If you live at a house and you are a
minor and your roommates are having a
party or there is any alcohol in the
house you, the minor, are liable.
"It takes some degree of smarts to get
here (Clarion University), but people
don't use their common sense," said
Bob Carlson, CUP athletic director.
"If you are under 21 be smart and
don't drink. It is the law," Speer said.
Some CUP student athletes expressed
surprise at what they learned at the ses-
sion.
"I was surprised that one beer an hour
can put me over the legal limit," Missy
Harkins said.
"I can't believe people are such idiots
to try to sell aspirin as cocaine. If they
get caug+»t, I hope they do go to jail,"
said Rad Martinez.
Eric "Evo" Evanoski said, "After
hearing all the new information, it has
made me think twice about who I hang
around with. I realize I can have a good
time without drinking."
"I didn't realize that police could
come to a party if they heard music 50
feet away. It is scary for education
majors," said Terwilliger.

tions; his motion carried by a 21-
0-0 vote.

Catherine Joslyn, an art profes-
sor at Clarion University, will be
participating in the Fulbright
Scholar program during the spring
semester of 2002. She will travel
to the Peruvian Andes to teach tex-
tile art seminars, work with native
weavers in a distant mountain vil-
lage, and create artwork intlu
enced by her Andean experiences.
Joslyn will present her work-
shops to a variety of individuals,
including professionals and
advanced art design students, as
well as school teachers interested
in learning new techniques for
integrating the Peruvian and inter-
national culture into their curricu-
la.
Participants in these seminars
will create panels for two wall
hangings, which portray Peruvian
and Pennsylvania motifs. A paral-
lel workshop in Clarion this fall
will allow contributors to create
similar panels for the same two
murals. Upon completion of the
murals, one will hang in
Pennsylvania and the other in
Peru. An interactive web page
about this project offers a chance
for participants in both continents
to communicate with each other in
English or Spanish.
Joslyn has been preparing for the
Fulbright project during a sabbati-
cal year and through three subse-
quent trips to Peru. She said she is
continuously learning about web
site design, as well as her own
artistic direction and the various
languages of Peru.
She said, "I look forward to run-
ning the pilot art exchange work-
shop here in Clarion this -fall.
When I return from SoutJi
America next fall, I will share
insights and images from the pro-
ject with local and national audi-
ences...! feel very lucky as an
American to have the opportunity
to carry out this project through a
program of our State Department.
One of the most interesting
aspects of working internationally
is the cross-cultural connection."
Joslyn credits a few sources for
helping her get to this point. She
said, "One doesn't get a Fulbright
alone. This kind of project isn't'
just an individual effort. Many
colleagues and friends in Clarion
and elsewhere, and of course my
family, have supported me in
achieving my goals, and my work
celebrates our collaboration.'"
The J. William Fulbright Foreign
Scholarship Board is providing the
grant for Joslyn to pailicipale in
the Scholar Program to Peru. Now
in its' ^2nd year, the Fulbright
exchange program is an interna-
tional success. Designed by for-
mer Senator J. William Fulbright
of Arkansas in 1946. the program
serves "to increase mutual under-
standing between the people of the
United States and the people of
other countries."
Members of the I-ulbright pro-
gram are selected based on acade-
mic and professional qualifica-
tions and tlicii ability and willing-
ness to share ideas and experi-
ences with people of diverse cul-
tures.
Scholarships are awarded
through open competition, and the
Foreign Scholarship Board makes
final selections. Thirty-seven for-
eign governments share in the
'funding of these exchanges.
Joslyn is the .seventh Clarion
University profes.sor to receive a
Fulbright .scholarship since 1981.

Facultv Senate
New courses being added to general education curriculum
by Adam Berteotti
Clarion Call Staff Writer
New classes being added to ful-
fill general education require-
ments was one of the main topics
discussed at the Faculty Senate
meeting on Sept. 24,2001.
Susan Traynor of the CIS
department reported changes
made and changes in the works
for the Clarion University class
catalog. Environmental Law,
BSAD 340, and International
Environmental Law, BSAD 341,
can now be used as additional
course work. Microcomputer
Applications in the Class Room,
ED 217, and Multicultural
Education, ED 225, were still
being reviewed as classes that
could possibly be added to a stu-
dent's general education check
sheet. Traynor also reported 158
minor changes to class descrip-
tions in the catalog in education,
accounting, nursing, chemistry,
and English.
"Special Topic" classes for the
Spring 2002 semester were
approved. These classes, which
will only be available for one
semester, are based on student
interest for a subject and a pro-
fessor's willingness to teach the
course. The courses will be
worth the normal three credits.
Six classes are being introduced
as "experimental" courses. They
will be added to the regular cur-
riculum if they are successful.
Traynor also talked about the
introduction of twelve "distance"
classes. These would be courses
available on the Web or present-
ed on interactive video (ITV).
The topic was then switched
when President Diane Reinhard
spoke of how the tragedy of
Sept. 1 i was affecting campus.
She said that some students and
faculty in the Reserves may be
called to active duty, and that
they should not be penalized
financially.
Reinhard felt that the campus
dealt with the tragedy well, and
the silent walk from campus to
Clarion Park that took place
Sept. 14 was a great success. She
also said no incidents of harass-
ment toward international stu-
dents in light of the terrorist
attacks have been reported; how-
ever, she did say faculty should
be aware that situations could
occur.
Dr. Anand Rao, of the Speech
Communication and Theater
department, said that faculty
should speak to students about
the treatment of international
students in the wake of this
tragedy.
Jackie Collier, the Student
Senate representative, reported
that Sarah Snyder and Greg
CIopp were elected to Student
Senate. They will fill the two
freshman chairs in the Senate.
Collier also told Faculty Senate
about the fund-raiser that had
been done for the Sept. 11
tragedy relief by selling ribbons

Clarion University enrollment
increases
Contributed by University
Relations
Enrollment has increased at
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania for a fourth consec-
utive year. Unofficial figures
through the drop/add period .^how
6,252 students enrolled, up 116
students from Fall 200 1's count of
6,192. The Fall 2001 enrollment
is a 1.9 percent increase.
The full time equivalence (FTE)
total for fall 2001 is 5,779, which
is 71 (1.2%) higher than last year.
These numbers include all
Clarion University credit courses
taught at all campuses and sites
and by all instructional delivery
methods.
Clarion campus enrollment
stands at 5,647 students, up 37
from Fall 2000. Undergraduate
enrollment was up from 5,186 to
5,205 (0.4%), with all of the 19
person increase being full-time
enrollment. New students were
down slightly to 1,498, compared
to 1,507 last year, but graduate
enrollment was up by 18 students

University Relations
Is Clarion ready to do "The Time
Warp?'
That question will be answered when
the Clarion University of Pennsylvania
Theatre season opens with the "Rocky
Honx>r Show," October 2-6. The play
will be performed each night at 8 p.m.
in the Marwick-Boyd Little Theatre,
with a special midnight performance
scheduled for October 5.
Tickets for the play are $9 for adults.
Clarion University students with a
valid identification card will be admit-
ted free.
'The R(xky Horror Shew" is
Richard O'Brien's twisted tale of
aliens, r{x:k and roll and "absolute
pleasure." The play was made into a
movie, "The Rocky Honw Picture
Show," in 1975, which became a cult
favorite at midnight showings around
the country. The play was recently
revived and earned Tony Award nom-
inations fOT best musical and best actor
Marilouise Michel, associate profes-
sor of speech communication and the-
atre, and director of the production
says, "University Theatre plans to do
"The Rocky Horror Show" in all its
offensive glory. This is absolutely an
adult production. Ifyou are conserva-
tive, easUy offended, or not familiar
with the play, you probably should not
attend. It is not our intention to insult
or offend anyone."
Michel insiders the production
inappropriate for anyone under 12 and
suggests that those under 16 have
parental guidance. It contains sexual
content and violerKe.
The story centers on Brad and Janet
a young couple who stumble upon the
abodeofaDr.Frankenllirter. Mad sci-
entists, monster creations and aliens all
come together with O'Brien's well-
known rock and roll score to create an
evening of satirical irreverence.
The set is designed to resemble an old
burlesque house. There will also be
live organ music before each perfor-
mance.
"This is a ftin, tongue-in-cheek,
campy satire of B-horror films from
the 1950s," says Michel. "It has a crea-
ture, blood and gore, body parts, and
aliens. I expect a real give-and-take
with the audience. Anyone that
enjoyed the movie will find it absolute-
ly thrilling in live theatre. It is enor-
mous fun taken in the frame in which
it is offered."
Movie audiences often wear cos-
tumes and bring props to the showings.
Michel cautions that for the safety of
the actors, no outside props will be
allowed, but 'participation bags' with
traditionally used props will be avail-
able to purchase, complete with
instmctions, so everyone can join in on
the flin. Bags will be $5 each, with $1
from each purchase going to the
September 1 1th fund.
The cast includes a mix of students
and faculty members. They are:
Dr. Brian Dunn, professor of history
at Clarion University, is the narrator.
This is his debut for Clarion University
Theatre.
Trevor Southworth as Frankenflirter.
Southworth, a senior accounting

- evenmg of poetry by John ^,^^,^^ ^^^ ^^^ Horsehead Nebula
an
Haines. The evening's program
consisted of works from the
poet's nearly five decades as a
poet.
Haines's work comes frOm a
variety of sources, but often cen-
ters on a love of nature and things
natural, including long walks,
interesting natives, and hunting.
Many of the poems read last
Thursday night also showed the
simple beauty in subjects such as
the changing of seasons
("Foreboding") and the cosmic
wonder of the universe as a whole
('The Poem without Meaning").
Live, Haines was an amicable
speaker, giving off the air of "that
in a mere 50 minutes. After the
reading, I was able to ask him a
few questions about his life and
work, namely if there was a spe-
cific place within himself he goes
to for inspiration. His reply was
simple: yes — a place "decorat-
ed" with the things he has seen
and experienced in his very full
life.
Haines' reading was the first of
a series of visiting writers and lit-
erary events scheduled for the
.year, sponsoYed by the English
Club and Sigma Tau Delta. The
next event will be the October
4th's "Readmg for the Cure," also
in Moore Hall.

Mothra, bats and how to deal with them
A very important issue that we all need to be
concerned about is global warming, and we
will get to that shortly, hut first we need to dis-
cuss the issue of what happened the other night
in my kitchen.
it began when I was in the bedr(X)m, flossing
my teeth (I keep my teeth in the bedrc«m).
Suddenly my wife, who is not normally a
burster, burst in and said: 'There's a bat in the
kitchen!"
A good snappy comeback line would have
been: "No thanks! I already ate!" But snappy
comebacks are not what is called for in this
type of situation. What is called for, by tradi-
tion, is for The Man of the House to put down
his dental floss and go face the bat.
So I went to the kitchen, passing en route
through the living room, where my wife and
her mother, who was visiting us, were huddled
together, protecting each other. Neither one
made a move to protect ME, the person going
to his doom.
I opened the kitchen door and peeked inside,
and, sure enough, there was a large black thing
flitting around, banging itself against the ceil-
ing. This was a perfect example of why — no
matter what you hear from the liberal commu-
nist news media — private citizens have a
legitimate constitutional need for machine
guns. No single-shot weapon is going to bring
down a flitting bat in a kitchen at close range.
To stop one of those babies, you need to put a
LOT of lead into the air. Yes, innocent appli-
ances could get hurt. But that is the price of
freedom.
Unfortunately, the only weapon 1 had was a
brtx)m. And to get it. 1 had to get to the other
side of the kitchen, which meant going direct-
ly under the bal. You know how, in John
Wayne war movies, when it's time to go into
battle. John Wayne gives out a mighty whcxip
and charges boldly forward with his head held
high? Well, that is not how I cros.sed the
kitchen. 1 sc(X)ted with tiny mincing steps,
hunched over, emitting a series of high-pitched
whimpers designed to assure the bat that not
only was I harmless, but I was also willing, if
necessary, to bear its young.
Reaching the other side, I grabbed the broom
and turned to face the bat, at which point I
made a shocking discovery: The bat was a but-
terfly. It was totally black, except that it had, I
swear, red eyes, which were GLOWING.
When I say that this butterfly was "large," I
am not whistling Dixie. This was by FAR the
largest butterfly I have ever encountered. Are
you familiar with the 1961 Japanese movie
Mothra, in which downtown Tokyo is attacked
by a 230-foot-long, 20,000-ton moth, played
by the late Ethel Merman? Well, the butterfly
in my kitchen could have used Mothra as an
ear plug. (A.ssuming that butterflies have ears.)
So anyway, when I saw that the bat was, in
tact, a butterfly. 1 knew exactly what to do.
Specifically. I yelled: "It's a buttertly!" This
was for the benefit of my wife. I'm sure the
buttertly already knew it was a buttertly.
"Oh! Then don't harm it!" answered my wife,
in an alternate universe. In the present universe,
she answered. "Well, KILL IT!" Women have
a reputation for being gentle and nurturing, but
in my experience, they pretty much want to
wipe out every creature on the Great Tree of
Life below the level of ptxxJIe.
So there, alone in the kitchen, armed only
with a broom, I went head-to-head with the
Giant Demon Butterfly from Hell. It clearly
was not afraid of me. It flitted right at me in the
aggressive, confident manner of a creature that,
in the wild, preys on wolverines.
In the end, I broke the broom, but I also sent
the butterfly to that Big Cocoon in the Sky. So
now our house is quiet again. But I am uneasy.
I find myself wondering: Where did that thing
COME from? What if there's ANOTHER one
out there?
I frankly don't know how anyone can think
about global warming at a time like this.

Music Review
Bjork's "Hidden Place" is tantalizing
by Keith Gwillim bit of emotional detachment.
Clarion Call Lifestj'les Editor^ ^ Even the swan princess herself,
Bjork, acts less like the bedroom
ARTIST/ALBUM: Bjork - intimate she's played on previ-
Vespertine. qu5 albums, and more like on of
FOR FANS OF: Fractured yet j^ose mysterious beings from
organic techno; swan-wearing j^mes Cameron's The Abyss:
"•^^^- ethereal, angelic, semi-tangible.
FOR FURTHER LISTENING:
Bjork's Homogenic, Radiohead's
Kid A, Autechre if they went
pop.
This summer, while working in
a movie theater, I had the chance
to sample bits and pieces of
Disney's latest atrocity on
humankind, Atlantis. Aside from
humorous stories about the
truckloads of popcorn that little
kids are able to fling at one
another, 1 never thought I'd take
anything else worthwhile from
the experience.
Until Bjork's Vespertine
album, that is. See, in Atlantis,
the once-mighty city has sunk
into the depths. A daring group
of souls journeys down to find
the famed-of city, discovering a
dazzling underwater kingdom.
Everything has this hazy, shim-
mering quality to it, much like a
dream seems in wakeful hours.
There's a beautiful symmetry to
it, yet it can't be touched through
the submarine windows.
That is Vespertine in a nutshell.
Its an album filled with mea-
sured grace, poise, resplendent
production and more than a little
and unattainable to mere mor-
tals. Sure, there's emotion, but it
seems like it's on a higher plane
of existence than the rest of us
exist on.
This may come as a shock to
those who have been introduced
to Bjork through her theatric
appearance in Lars Von Trier's
film. Dancer In The Dark, and
Bjork's accompanying sound-
track album, Selmasongs. In
both movie and record, the
Icelandic wonder painfully
scrapes away at herself, until we
are left looking at a naked and
tortured human soul.
Bjork admitted in interviews
how grueling a process this was,
and that she'd probably never
return to acting again. She
seems to have applied some of
that doctrine of withdrawal to
her music, as well. Vespertine is
filled with images of solitary
womb-like spaces, isolated
dreams, and inspirational hope-
fulness. As Bjork says in the
album's opener, "Hidden Place,"
"There lies my love /I'll hide it
under a blanket / Lull it to
sleep."
Elsewhere, tracks such as
"Heirloom" find Bjork retreating
even further into her own private
Fantasia. "I swallow little gold-
en lights / My mother and son
baked for me / Warm glowing oil
/ Into my wide open throat."
Even when she does opt for emo-
tional directness, such as on
"Cocoon," Bjork sings in a
breathless, barely-there hush, as
if addressing you and only you.
"Who would have known / That
a boy like him possessed of mag-
ical sensitivity / Would appreci-
ate a girl like me," she sings, yet
sounding unsure of her happi-
ness, like a drugged Tinkerbell.
Bjork has never been quite so
sexually explicit in her lyrics
before this album, either. When
she does decide to go the route of
full disclosure, she doesn't stop
halfway. "I shall enter fingers of
smooth mastery / With chastness
of seagulls / Will I complete the
mystery of my flesh," is about as
elegant a reference to self-love
as you're going to get.
Fans of Bjork's earlier materi-
al might be a little off-put by the
side-stepping nature of this
album. Gone are her trademark
carved-in-granite melodies and
solid grooves; Vespertine
decides to focus more on moods,
singular colors of sound, and
bursts of rhythmic effects that
sound like a bag of pins being
emptied. When Bjork decides to
unleash a cathartic melody here,
the results are among her best,
such as the optimistic "It's Not
Up To You," and the stately clos-
er, "Unison."
Vespertine is indeed a watery
album; rhythms, tempos and
vocals always in flux, shifting
like undertows in your ears.
Heavenly choirs seem to be per-
forming in cavernous cathedrals,
while submarining string sec-
tions, both real and programmed,
swoon about. Electronic epilep-
tic fits sputter to life and appear
as little blips of light in the back
corridors of your mind. Bjork's
voice drapes like a silken tapes-
try over it all; sometimes a heat-
ed blanket to snuggle up in, and
sometimes a thin layer of frost.
See all of these elements come
together in the album's haunting
centerpiece, "Aurora," which is
every bit as colorful as the celes-
tial event it's named after.
Much of Vespertine^ produc-
tion is due to IDM duo Matmos.
Bjork brought them in to work
their laptop wizardry, resulting
in a rich sonic backdrop that is
both faint as a well-washed stain
and an engaging three-dimen-
sional painting. Naysayers have
complained that Matmos' pres-
ence on Vespertine is barely felt.
They're both right and wrong.
True, it isn't as distinctive as
Matmos output usually is, but
that's the genius of their work
here - they realize that Bjork is
the center of attention. They've
given her a splendid framework
for her to work with, and Bjork
is more than up to the task.
Vespertine does contain its lim-
itations, however. Not all of the
tracks are first-rate, and it takes
many repeated listens for the
album to gel in your mind. Also,
the album doesn't work nearly as
well on regular speakers as it
does on headphones; where
Vespertine'^ nocturnal dream-
world explodes with vividness
and clarity. But patience
rewards all, and Vespertine has
much to give. 4 out of 5 stars.

Golden Eagles improve record at Millersville
by Laura Altman
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Clarion womens volley-
ball team travelled to
Millersville for the annual
Millersville Tournament on
September 21-22 to play three
teams. The women competed
against Dowling, Gettysburg,
and Indiana University of
Pennsylvania. At the end of the
weekend, the team held a tour-
nament record of 1-2.
The team fell to Dowling after
competing in five sets, but did a
great job of lashing back strong.

"The team did a great job of
coming back during the second
and third set after their first
loss," said coach Tracey
Fluharty.
After their 20-30 loss in set
one, the women came back with
a score of 30-25 in sets two and
three due to their improvement
in hitting. During the last two
sets, the opposing team rallied
back for the victory.
Despite their 13 serve receive
errors, the offense worked
together to produce 47 kills. The
team had a total of nine aces, 18
solo blocks and nine block
assists.
After an upsetting loss to
Dowling, the team increased
their level of intensity and
defeated their next opponent,
Gettysburg in all three matches.
The women dominated with
scores of 30-23, 30-24, and 30-
19.
Although their passing
improved, the team still experi-
enced six serve receive errors.
Ali Graham lead the way with
ten kills while Jackie Hill had 30
assists.
Even with Melanie Bull's and
Ali Graham's 12 kills each,
along with Jackie Hill's 44
assists, the team still managed to
fall short to I.U.P.
During the game, the Golden
Eagles once again reduced their
serve receive errors down to
three and only made one service
error.
"The game was one of those
times when things would not go
our way, and the team just
couldn't click," commented
Fluharty.
In addition to the Millersville
Tournament, the Golden Eagles
also played California
University of Pennsylvania on
Sept. 20. The women won all
three sets during that game.
"Overall, the team is playing
really well. Each individual is
stepping up to play their part,"
stated Fluharty.
The win against California was
a big accomplishment for the
Golden Eagles , since the
Vulcans were in nationals last
year. Also, the Vulcans have
been coached under the same
individual for several years and
have many retuning players.
"Volleyball is an up and down

game, and if we stay on the
same intensity level, no one in
the conference will be able to
touch us," added Fluharty.
The team looks toward tech-
nique improvements as the sea-
son progresses. Fluharty also
believes that the team record
will improve as the season con-
tinues.
Drug charges Kinq)ant Rugby teams battle against
by Jim Mashik

The Rebels are putting Gunn's
two arrests on drug charges in
the last 29 months behind them,
Gunn regrets that it happened,
and neither Gunn nor Cutcliffe
will talk about the matter again.
The (Memphis) Commercial
Appeal reported Friday that
Gunn, a senior tailback from
Amory, Miss., was arrested for
possession of marijuana on
April 22, 1999, then pleaded
guilty to simple possession and
paid $695.50 in fines and court
costs. The newspaper also
reported that Gunn was arrested
in Monroe County on May 25,
2001, for speeding and was
charged with possession of mar-
ijuana and driving under the
influence.
Gunn pleaded guilty to speed-
ing and not guilty on the DUI
and possession charges, the
Commercial Appeal said.
Gunn, who ranks fifth on the
Rebels' all-time rushing list,
issued a statement through the
university Monday after
Cutcliffe reiterated that discipli-
nary action had been taken
against the player.

On Sunday September 23, the
Clarion womens rugby team
faced a challenge against their
biggest rival, Indiana
University of Pennsylvania
(I.U.P.). The game began at I
p.m. at home (in Shippensville).
Clarion had possession of the
ball for most of the match, but
late in the second half, I.U.P.
pushed into the Golden Eagle's
try zone and scored the first try
of the game and the extra kick.
Immediately after the kick-
off. Clarion, almost effortlessly,
scored the second try of the
game. Amy Lacinski took credit
for the try scored for the Golden
Eagle women. Unfortunately
for Clarion, due to the lack of
game time, were unable to pull
ahead.
The women of Clarion lost
one of the toughest matches of
the season with a final score of
5-7 to I.U.P The team looks
forward to playing Slippery
rock next Saturday to pull their
season's record up to 3-1.
The mens rugby team started
off their season with an impres-
sive, yet close, win against the
University of Pittsburgh. The
Golden eagles ended up with a
final score of 17-16.
The men played a close and
challenging game against the
Panthers. Steve Sikon, Jimmy
Donnelly, and Jim Galaghr all
scored tries worth five points
each. Their efforts allowed for
the Golden Eagles to keep the
score as close as possible to
Pittsburgh.
Brian Scupink came through
to aid Clarion in obtaining the
victory with his kicking of two
extra points.
The men will be at home this
weekend (at Shippenville)
against California University of
Pennsylvania. The game is set
to kick-off at 2 p.m.

Clarion runners soar past Slippery Rock
by Andrea Borek
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The Golden Eagle cross coun-
try team took another victory
under their wing at the
Shippensburg Invitational with
the womens team placing first
overall out of eight competing
teams. The men also placed
within the top five teams with a
fifth place overall finish out of
11 competing teams.
The womens victory was
sealed by the thirteenth and sev-
enteeth place overall finishes by
the fourth and fifth athletes of
the team. The top five runners
for the womens team all placed
within the top 20 competitors in
the invitational.
Jen Boerner, Clarions leading
woman runner, took a fourth
place overall finish for the team.
Her place set the stage for the
remainder of the team to pull in
high places. Following close
behind Boerner was Melissa
Terwillinger (Mel) finishing fifth
overall. These two women pulled
in the points to keep Clarion on
top.
Next in the running for the
Golden Eagle women was Katie
Szafran with a tenth place finish.
Closing in the gap and coming
out thirteenth overall was Ali
Borek, followed by team captain.
Senior Eon King races toward
the finish! iine during a meet.
Wendy Kengor, in seventeenth.
These finishes secured the

Excellent runs were also turned

The Golden Eagle mens team
captured a fifth place finish for
the invitational with the top five
runners placing in the top 40
overall.
Leading the way for the
Clarion men was Matt
Masterone, coming in fifteenth
overall. Following close behind
Masterone was A.J. Mayernik
with a nineteenth place finish.
Team captain, Ean King, fin-
ished close behind the top two
runners for Clarion with twenti-

men would be John Snyder in

would be Dave Durianick in thir-

The mens team has improved
from previous meets, but hope to
further move up as the season
progresses. If the men hope to
place higher within the next
meets, they also need to close the
gap between the top five team
runners.

Golfers work course at Hal Hansen Memorial
by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Call Sports Editor
The Golden Eagle golf team
continues to hit the links for the
season with their seventh place
overall finish in the Hal Hansen
Memorial Golf Invitational at
Clarion Oaks Golf Club. The
team tied for seventh place out
of the 14 visiting teams.
The Invitational began on
Monday, September 24 at 9 a.m.
and extended through Tuesday
with another tee-off time of 9
a.m.
Unfavorable weather left a lot
of teams dreading the two-day
invite, but the Golden Eagles
didn't allow the cold to affect
them. Rain caused the course to
be slippery and soggy for the 14
visiting teams, but the game
continued despite of this.
"I just take it one shot at a
time. I tried not to focus on or
worry about the weather, but
just play the game," said fresh-
man Matt Guyton.
Guyton lead the way for the
Golden Eagles with a first place
overall finish. He shot a 74-70
during the invite, taking the top
score. This average would have
placed him within the top two
competitors at the PSAC cham-
pionship last year.
Despite their lack of experi-
ence, the freshmen men stepped
up to make some quality scores
during the invite. The Golden
Eagle freshmen took high score
out of all the rookie teams.
After last year's second place
finish at the PSAC champi-
onship, this young squad has the
capability of taking the gold this
year. The freshmen team of
Ryan Butler, Matt Gibson, Matt
Guyton, Alan Hosford, Lou

Courtesy of Sports Information
Shippensburg's (2-2; 1-0) Tony
Johnson intercepted an Adam
Almashy pass at the Clarion (1-3;
0-1) 48 with 1:04 remaining in the
game and the Red Raiders held on
to defeat the Golden Eagles 34-29
in front of 2,800 fans at Seth
Grove Stadium.
Shippensburg led 17-10 at half-
time, then expanded their lead to
24-10 at 4:51 of the third quarter
when John Kuhn scored on a three
yard run.
The Golden Eagles came storm-
ing back in the fourth quarter.
Corner, Myron Hargon, picked off
a Tyler Novak pass and returned it
47-yards to the Raider 28.
Demetric Gardner capped the si.x
play scoring drive and hit paydirt
from eight-yards out. Jason
Flora's PAT made it 24-17 with
12:15 left to play.
Clarion got the ball back, and
with a little razzle-dazzle, had
halfback, Ben Culver, throw a 60-
yard touchdown pass to Ed Rivers
to actually tie the game. Biut
Flora's PAT drifted wide right, and
with 10:33 remaining,
Shippensburg held a narrow 24-23
lead.
The Raiders took the ensuing
kickoff and drove 68 yards in
eight plays for a key touchdown.
Dave Brown rammed the ball in
the endzone with 6:22 left and
Shipppensburg had a 31-23
advantage.
Shippensburg placekicker,
Berkley Myers, added to the
Raider lead with a 40-yard field
goal with 3:49 remaining, giving
Shippensburg a 34-23 lead.
The Eagles were not done! In the
hurry-up offense. Clarion took the
ball at its own 28 and drove 72
yards in only five plays to get
back in the game. Robert Walker
grabbed a 23-yard screen pass to
put the ball at the Shipp. 33.

missed by inches getting into the
endzone. But he capped the drive
on the next play, hurdling the pile
at the goal line to score his second
touchdown. The Eagles went for
two, but the pass play failed and
Shipp. held onto a narrow 34-29
lead with 2:26 left.
Clarion had all of its timeouts
remaining, so Flora kicked deep
and the Raiders returned the ball
to the Shipp. 45. Clarion's defense
held in three plays, and Myron
Hargon's punt return of seven
yards had Clarion in business at
its own 33 with 1:34 remaining.
On second down, Almashy fired a
pass toward Mike McCullum at
the 50, but the ball was deflected
out of McCullum's hands and
Tony Johnson posted his game-
saving interception.
Robert Walker led the Clarion
offense with 119 yards and two
touchdowns on eight carries,
while also catching one pass for
23 yards. Demetric Gardner
notched 73 yards and one touch-
down on 14 tries. Quarterback,
Adam Almashy, connected on
four of 12 passes for 50 yards. The
Eagles finished with 338 yards of
offense, including 228 rushing.

Bold bodily fluids
We know we have already done
an article about garbage, but this
particular article is about bodily
garbage. This is something which
has been bothering everyone here,
but we have finally sat down and
talked about it.
The first item brought to our dis-
cussion were three boys seen on
campus peeing on three separate
trees. Do you need to mark your
territory?
Now we don't know how any-
one else feels, but we know we
sometimes take short cuts through
the shrubs and landscaping to get
somewhere quicker, so we really
don't want to be walking through
someone else's urine.
Another area of concern is the
disgusting spit we generally see
on the railings as you leave
Gemmell. It is so entertaining to
sit there and watch it drop from
one part of the railing to another.
Come on that is disgusting and
some of us use the railing to hang
onto as we are coming down the
stairs. We really don't want to be
putting our hands in your germs.
Another place we are seeing spit
is in the water fountains. Loogies
are so nice to see when getting a
refreshing drink out of the foun-
tain! We really don't need to be
seeing or having that in the water
fountains.
When working the late nights
here at The Call on Wednesday we
notice some nasty things in the
bathrooms. Like the little droplets
on the toilet seats people leave
because they can't seem to hit the
toilet.
If you know it is yours, wipe it
off so that the rest of us don't have
to sit in it or wipe it off when we
go in there. This is amazing in the
girls bathroom.
We sit down and yet we still
can't seem to hit the toilet. This is
something we were to learn when
we were young children, so there
really isn't any nead for it to be
going on at a college campus.
One of the less severe items
we've noticed is the chewing gum
around campus. Even though this
is a minor one, it should still be
addressed.
When walking out of class, it
really isn't any fun to step in
someone's gum and then have to
carry it with you until you get to
where you are going or until you
finally get it off your shoe.
And we don't know about every-
one else on campus, but we aren't
too fond of picking another per-
son's gum off of our shoe.
Now we don't ask for much here
at Clarion University, but we do
ask for the little things; human
beings who act like human beings.

National Depression Screening Day
Dear Editor:
The World Health
Organization reports that clini-
cal depression will be the sec-
ond-most burdensome illness in
the world by the year 2020.
It is SQ concerned that it is
undertaking a groundbreaking
international research study to
better understand what they are
calling a potential "cancer of the
21st century."
Public education for depres-
sion has been increasing over
the past several years, and
National Depression Screening
Day, a nationwide public health
event run through the nonprofit
Screening for Mental Health,
Inc. started a decade ago.
This public service program is
designed to raise awareness of
depression and to connect those
in need with treatment.
The National Institute of
Mental Health, the National
Mental Health Organization, the
American Psychiatric
Association, and many other
p»"estigious organizations spon-
sor the event.
Clarion University is partici-
pating as a free public service,
along with 3,000 other facilities
across the country and 20,000
volunteer health clinicians.
More than 90.000 people are
expected to take advantage of
the free screenings.
As we struggle with the recent
terrorist events and the tragic
loss of life, our facility must
address the toll this will take on
all of us. Therefore, our com-
munity, like communities across
the country and world, needs to
pay closer attention to depres-
sion.
Symptoms of depression
include a feeling of sadness, a
loss of pleasure in usual activi-
ties, changes in sleep and
appetite, hopelessness, guilt,
inability to concentrate and
thoughts of death and suicide.
Unfortunately, less than half of
the persons with depression get
treatment, despite the fact that
more than 80% of depressed
people improve within several
months once they get treatment.
Depression can affect men and
women, young and old, of every
nationality and heritage. About
two-thirds of people who kill
themselves have a depressive
disorder at the time of their
death, and suicide rates among
youth have increased more than
300% since the 1950's.
At Clarion University,
National Depression Screening
Day will be t)bser\cd ^n-^.
Wednesday, October 10.
The Department of Counseling
Services and Keeling Heath
Center will participate in this
nationwide effort by offering
free screenings in 250/252
Gemmell Complex, from 10
a.m. to Noon and 1:30 p.m. to
3:30 p.m.
Everyone is invited to come
and take a short self-test for
depression and manic-depres-
sion, learn about these disorders,
watch an informational video,
and talk individually to a mental
health professional.
The screenings are free and
anonymous. Even if a person
doesn't have depression, they
are invited to take advantage of
the program and learn what
signs to look for and what ser-
vices are available on campus.
For more information, call
393-2255. To find additional
sites that are participating in
National Depression Screening
Day outside the Clarion area,
please call 1-800-520-NDSD.

There seems to be
a sort of blockade sur-
rounding nearly one-
third of the entire cam-
pus due to the library
construction. 99
-Bethany Bankovich
Editorial,Bethany Bankovich
As a sophomore returning to
the campus, I have noticed
quite a change within my own
character concerning the events
occurring around me.
I have become almost cal-
loused or gained a sort of apa-
thy about most subjects that,
prior to this year, would have
produced an effect over me.
Now, that is not to say that I
don't care altogether, but on a
scale of one to ten, most current
events are pulling in a solid
numero uno. I have, however,
managed to find something that
does agitate me, along with
numerous other bustling cam-
pus students.
There seems to be a sort of
blockade surrounding nearly
one-third of the entire campus
due to the library construction.
1 understand the necessity of
safety in a construction envi-
ronment, but some of the
fenced in area isn't even close
to the actual workspace.
Why is it that last year, the
mainstream of student traffic
was permitted to use the walk-
ways in front of Becht Hall, but
this year, that area is closed
off?
This particular detour has
caused an increase of nearly six
precious minutes in my venture
to Founders Hall alone.
Still Hall is another story in
itself!
Okay, so there is probably a
legitimate reason for that par-
ticular area of fenced in area
due to its location, but what
baffles me the most is that large
enclosed grassland region
beside Stevens Hall.
There is enough grassy space
to nourish a small herd of cattle
within the fence in that area,
but why is it enclosed?
I cannot figure it out for the
life of me. If that area were
open to the student body, an
individual coming from Davis
or Stevens could make the trip
to Founders in less than five
minutes, at a comfortable pace.
Not only has the fencing
increased travel time but it has
also made entrance to Moore
Hall nearly impossible.
This inconvenience has put
somewhat of a damper on orga-
nizations of the English depart-
ment because they hold their
meetings and readings in
Moore.
How can the English club
encourage students to partici-
pate in the activities when it is
such an inconvenience to gain
access to the building?
Perhaps all of this riff-raff
sounds ridiculous, but my time,
along with many others' is
extremely valuable and limited.
With less fencmg and more
available travel space. I, as well
as many other individuals,
would be spending less time
trying to get to their classes and
more time actually in the class-
room.

It's a shame that I
see so many of these
people follow that
superficial path instead
of taking 'the road less
traveled'. 99
-Michael James Fox
Hyde Park, Michael James Fox
It's always a laughing matter
when an ex-college student tells
you that these years in college are
the best years of your life.
The folks that completely enjoy
every single moment while they
are at college usually do not find
a meaningful job or a meaningful
life once their time here is up.
During their post college expe-
rience, they reminisce about the
good old days in college and
often end up walking and talking
like an old person before they
even reach the age of 30.
It's a shame that I see so many
of these people follow that super-
ficial path instead of taking, "The
road less traveled."
I've been honored this past year
to live with three roommates who
take that path in life because life
is worth living before, during,
and after you are at college.
Every moment that is either
good or bad should be lived to the
fullest. The "live fast, die young"
theory is not only a way you can
cheat life, but also a way you can
cheat yourself of many rewards
that a long life can offer.
The ones who choose to bite the
bullet so they can follow their
dreams will most likely end up
having the last laugh.
During these transition years
into adulthood, my favorite vice
definitely has to be humor. It's
unimaginable to see how some-
one like me could have arrived at
this juncture without having that
kind of gift.
Doctors often say that laughter
alone can release endorphins and
can even help you lose weight.
Plus having the ability to make
people laugh is not only helpful
to other people in your presence,
but it also helps you amuse your-
self when bombarded by self-per-
petuating stress.
In 1992, Ex-Pink Floyd mem-
ber Roger Waters released a solo
album that was titled 'Amused to
Death."
The name of that album
reminds me of the feelings that I
have of this particular institution.
Life before Clarion holds many
memories of laughter. Growing
up, Steve Martin films are what
kept me laughing.
His wacky, upbeat and out-of-
control comic persona in his
movies inspired me to someday
become a famous comedian.
My family recalls me perform-
ing shows in front of them from
the time I learned to walk.
Performance of any kind was
where I felt most comfortable.
When I was 18 years old and
starting off to college at Clarion

Clarion Universitv of Pennsvlvania
Recently, some members of the
Student Senate, including myself,
traveled to Harrisburg to partici-
pate in a quarterly meeting for the
BSGR
The Board of Student
Government Presidents is made
up of the 14 State System Schools
Senate Presidents. We meet four
times a year to discuss issues that
are affecting our campuses, our
system of schools, and the state as
a whole.
One of the things that the group
decides at the first meeting is the
''Issue of the Year."
This year with the, recent events
at the World Trade Centers, the
Pentagon, and here in our own
state, we decided that this year the
issue should have to deal with
Citizenship.
Now, citizenship can mean
many different things to every-
one, so we thought of a purpose
statement that explains how we
viewed this word and issue as a
whole.
Statement of Purpose: "To
understand our world, value our
differences and bring together
people to solve problems, partici-
pate in society through thoughtful
actions, and celebrate life every-
day."
I would like to touch on that last
statement, "...celebrate life every-
day." This seems like something
we should do no matter what is
going on in our world, but now,
more than ever that is true.
Since the tragic events of Sept.
11,1 have seen this campu.s and
community come together as one.
We are supporting each other.
helping each other, and working
together to raise money for people
that we have never met, never
seen, and probably never will.
There is only one common
thread between these victims, the
volunteers and us; we are all
Americans.
Some things that everyone can
do to help out, to become a better
university, a better United States
"citizen" is to volunteer.
People can volunteer with a
campus group, the United Way,
Red Cross, or any other group
working toward a common goal.
Mentoring local students, reach-
ing out to the community, with
picnics, fairs and sporting events,
or become active on campus are
just a few of the things that can be
done.
There are many ways to help
out, and many more reasons for
why you should. That is why the
BSGP picked Citizenship as our
Issue of the Year.
It is something which affects
everyone, and something that
everyone should have an effect
on.
Remember that we are always
here to help you. Please let us
know of any way we can.
I challenge all of you to become
more involved with your universi-
ty, state, and nation. Reach out to
those who need help.
In this time of terrorists trying to
break America's spirit, the best
thing we can do is show them that
all they "have done was strengthen
our resolve.
Ben Clwrvcnak is the Student
Senate President.

Letters to the Editor concerning diversity
National Coming Out Day features blue jeans on Oct. 11
Dear Editor:
National Coming Out Day is
Oct. II. 2001- Wear your jeans!
Every year on Oct. 11, thou-
sands of gay, lesbian, bisexual,
and transgendered people, along
with their straight allies celebrate
National Coming Out Day in
many different ways.
Allies, the campus alliance of
gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgen-
der, questioning, and straight stu-
dents working together to pre-
serve human rights regardless of
sexual orientation, will be spon-
soring several activities to cele-
brate this day.
The primary event of the day is
"Blue Jeans Day."
We are urging everyone on cam-
pus to wear blue jeans as an out-
ward symbol of support for your
gay and lesbian friends, fellow
students, and/or family to show
your intolerance of discrimina-
tion.
Blue jeans, being one of the
most typical articles of clothing
among students, were chosen to
promote the understanding that
being gay or lesbian is just as nor-
mal as wearing blue jeans.
This event will give students a
way to peacefully and easily
express their views on this contro-
versial issue.
Scientific studies have shown
that around 5-10 percent of the
population as a whole is gay, les-
bian, and bisexual.
With Clarion's enrollment this
year at roughly 6,252 students,
that means that there are probably
upwards of 600 gay or lesbian stu-
dents right here among us.
That's right, over 600 gay stu-
dents, right here at Clarion. Some
are out of the closet, and most
probably aren't.
The point is that we are here; we
make up some of the faces that are
classmates, rommates, professors,
and people we see every single
day walking across campus.
Despite the number of gay and
lesbian students, faculty, and staff
on campus, this demographic
group suffers many injustices in
our culture.
Gay students are subjected to
slurs and ridicule even in our
modern, politically correct cul-
ture.
We are reminded this time of
year of Matthew Shepard, who in
October 1998 was brutally beaten
and left tied to a fence, where he
was found 18 hours later after
enduring a bitter cold night.
Witnesses say that Matt was
covered head to toe with dirt and
blood except for a patch under
each eye, wiped clean by tears.
Matt later died in the hospital of
his injuries and exposure, which
included a fractured skull, 18
severe blows to the head, and
bruises covering his entire body.
Of course, nothing this extreme
has happened here in Clarion, but
there are smaller examples of dis-
crimination all around us.
Everyday people ridicule others
even thought to be gay. Others
thoughtlessly talk about strange
behavior as "so gay".
Still others will be uncomfort-
able wearing blue jeans on this
day because they might be
thought to be gay.
Allies exsist to end this discrim-
ination and promote the rights of
students of any sexual orientation.
We are asking that all students get
involved in stopping discrimma-
tion by simply putting on jeans
Thursday. This can symbolize his
or her own gay/lesbian identity or
simply, but most importantly, sup-
port.
Allies is scheduling other events
throughout the day. We will have
an informational table set up in
the Gemmell Rotunda area from
9-5 on National Coming Out Day.
Allies will conduct a meeting at
5p.m. in room 214 of Harvey
Hall, where we will host open dia-
logue and discussion about gay
and lesbian issues.
Afterwards, we will be showing
the MTV Movie: Anatomy of a
Hate Crime at 7p.m. in Harvey
124. The movie depicts the
events sunounding the death of
Matthew Shepard and was first
aired to kickoff MTV's anti-hate
campaign.
We appreciate your support in
advance, and remember-being
gay or lesbian in this diverse
world is just as normal as wearing
blue jeans.
We look forward to the time
when such events won't be neces-
sary and sexual orientation will
not be an issue of controversy.
Sincerely,
The officers, student
members, and faculty advisors
of the Allies Chapter of Clarion
University.
Reader voices concern for music reviews and CUP concerts
Dear Editor,
I am a senior Communication major
here at Clarion University, and I have
noticed that if there is one thing that this
university lacks, it is diversity. I am dis-
appointed to continually see the same
kind of music reviewed in 7~^e C^of-ion Caii,
and the same kind of entertainment
brought to the university, year after year.
Granted, 1 haven't read every music
review by the lifestyles editor, but I have
read quite a few. It seems as if every time
I pick up the Ca^l there is a review of
some musician and/or group that nobody
has heard of.
Not only that, but the music reviewed
does not seem very diverse.
In fact, it seems as if the same genre of
music gets reviewed every issue. Not to
downplay any of the music reviewed;
because 1 believe all music can be cre-
ative in its own right, but do the majority
of students on campus know (or care)
about Travis, Radiohead, and Daft Punk?
Couldn't the lifestyles editor of the Ca^f
be a little more diverse in the music he is
66
if there is one thing that
this university lacks, it is
diversity. 99
-Anthony V. Hiltz
reviewmg
I mean, in all seriousness, what is the
most popular form of music out now?
What kind of music do people dance to?
What kind of music do DJs at parties play
the majority of the time?
What kind of music do 'N Sync and the
rest of those bubble-gum artists emulate
and make millions of dollars off of?
Well, the answer is not the obscure
alternative music that gets reviewed in
the ^a/^.
The music I am speaking of (that con-
tinually gets neglected) is hip-hop and
R&B music.
Why are there never any reviews of 1 12,
Jay-Z, R. Kelly, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige,
Babyface, or DMX? From my perspec-
tive, this is an example of the lack of
diversity on campus.
Another example (which is an even
stronger example) is the lack of diverse
entertainment, which is brought to this
campus.
For years, the University Activities
Board (UAB) has brought bands that tar-
get the same audience and/or group of
students. I heard a few rumors that the
UAB was possibly going to get Billy Joel
for a concert here on campus.
Don't get me wrong, I am not hating on
the piano man, but this just proves that
the UAB isn't doing their job in provid-
ing entertainment that targets the stu-
dents.
Actually, they have been avoiding an
audience (semester by semester) that is
hungry for a genre of music that hasn't
been brought to this campus since 1994
(give or take a year) when Coolio was
here.
Our sister state schools (Indiana
University, Slippery Rock, etc.) have
been bringing in big acts like LL Cool J
and Busta Rhymes for years, and it is a
shame that in order to see this kind of
entertainment, we have to look to other
universities.
For example, the UAB has brought the
following entertainment to campus in the
past four years: Blues Traveler, Lit, Toby
Keith, Garbage, the Buzz Poets,
Everclear, and the Clarks.
Can someone please point out the diver-
sity in this group of artists? Okay, maybe
Toby Keith, but a country concert hardly
brings diversity to the campus. In my
eyes, the Toby Keith concert wasn't even
directed toward the students as much as it
was to the community of Clarion as a
whole.
This topic I am writing about could be
debated on for hours upon hours. But the
bottom line is, diversity could be promot-
ed very easily if things were to change
just a little bit with the problems I am
stating.
I'm honestly not trying to be the angry
student who just likes to complain, but I
feel it is time for someone to speak up
about these things I have mentioned.
There are students on campus who feel
very segregated from some of the enter-
tainment brought here to this university.
There are also some students who are sick
of seeing classic R&B and hip-hop
albums go unnoticed in Tlte- C^a/^m Ca^t
When it all boils down to it, a lot of stu-
dents who I have communicated with are
sick of reading reviews about the same
kind of music.
We are also upset to see the same kind
of entertainment brought here semester
after semester. This university needs
diversity; please take notice.
Sincerely,
Anthony V. Hiltz (Herm)
Senior Communication Major
PS. If the Lifestyles Editor of the Caff
would like help covering hip-hop and
R&B music, 1 would be more than happy
to help write reviews. Just contact me.

Letter to the Editor concerning Sept. 11
Reader responds to government foreign relations
Dear Editor,
The great wound of Sept. 1 1
which brought death, injury, and
sorrow to many thousands will
lead to new and unimaginable
consequences, probably for all
concerned.
One can only wonder if suffi-
cient thought will be given to the
reality that at least four of the
most involved nations have
nuclear weapons.
The first reaction was a blood
lust in the media and among the
populus. Yet we must not water
the roots of terrorism.
Despite our shock, our surprise,
the background and causes are
centuries old. The most direct, the
most powerful of those go back
only half a century.
The definitions are terrorism (a
racist term), self-defense, retalia-
tion, along with national self-
interest and economic necessity.
There are no guiltless powers,
but all resist or ignore the facts.
The truly objective might well
assert that each participant has
chickens coming home to roost.
We clearly remember the down-
ing of the Pan-Am airliner over
Lockerbie, Scotland, the invasion
of Kuwait, the earlier bombing of
our two embassies in Africa, sui-
cide explosions in Israel and
other costly blows.
We must honestly ask why we
are under attack.
Those tragic and deadly events
did not, of course, occur m a vac-
uum. Currently, our tag-along
media speaks only for the lone
message coming from
Washington.
The telly is swamped with the
constant appearance, the unend-
ing drumbeat of an unelected and
appointed leader and his top cab-
inet officers.
"Mainstream TV," according to
The Nation, "sees its role as a
war-mobilizing and patrioteering
mechanism, with no interest in
alternative voices and interpreta-
tions."
The same tired icons of the
establisment have resorted to bel-
ligerent flag-waving once more to
do the journeyman work of con-
structing a national consensus in
favor of all-out-war, a recipe for
spreading chaos around the world
and bringing discredit to our-
selves."
There is a self-imposed but
comforting silence with refuses to
acknowlege our past. A past that
is one part of the long running tit-
for-tat struggle that brought us to
Sept. 11.
Our government has supported
Israel from it founding with large
financial grants and military

terrorism. 99

hardware.
We arepne of only several pow-
ers which invariably oppose UN
votes that condemn Israel's over-
powering political, economic and
military oppresssion of the
Palestinian people.
This support of Israel continues
after 34 years of Israel's brutal
occupation of Arab land and after
its invasion of Lebanon that
killed 17,500 civilians.
The U.S. led a deadly one-sided
war against Iraq in 1991 despite
the fact that Mikhail Gorbachev
secured Saddam Hussein's agree-
ment to withdraw from Kuwait.
Air patrols over much of Iraq's
airspace continue and bombing
raids occur periodically.
Continuing ecomomic sanctions
have devastated the Iraqi econo-
my, limited essential reconstruc-
tion and lead to at least a million
deaths according to the UN.
Sanctions have cost 500,000
children their lives. When asked
about the 5,000 who die each
month. Secretary of State,
Madeline Albright, said "we
think the price is worth it."
Since World War II our govern-
ment has intervened and been
involved in the internal affairs of
Iran.
In the Eighties we aided both
nations in the Iran- Iraq War.
In 1988 a U.S. naval vessel shot
down an Iranian airliner with the
loss of 300 lives. The terrorism is
mutual.
In 1992 U.S. troops fought their
way into Somalia in the Horn of
Africa presumably to aid in food
distribution during a serious
famine.
However, they became militari-
ly involved in the conflict
between rival factions. The mis-
sion failed and the force with-
drew under fire in 1994.
In more recent years, the U.S.
has carred out air raids or rained
missiles on Libya, Iraq, Sudan,
and Afghanistan. Some of the
missiles intended for Afghanistan
actually struck Pakistan.
The cleric fascist regimes of the
Saudis have generally been sup-
ported by Washington in recent
decades.
We now have troops based in
Saudi Arabia beginnin'^ with the
Gulf War. U.S. bases in this land
of Muslim holy sites antagonize
many of the peoples in the
Middle East.
The School of the Americas at
Pt. Benning is a secret to most of
us. The School has tramed mili-
tary delegations from Latin
America for decades in the most
violent methods of terrorism.
The oppressive governments
which send them here are sup-
ported by the U.S. The graduates
wage terrorism against their help-
less citizens.
Richard Falk, profesor of
International Law at Princeton,
has reminded us that the current
war fever being nurtured by an
unholy alliance of government
and media "will be seen as vio-
lence directed against those who
are innocent and against a civilian
society."
History and recent events clear- "
ly prove that war and violence
will only see the clouds for future
terrorism. Attorney General
Ashcroft admitted that whatever
measures we take will bring retal-
iation.
The War Resisters League has
called attention to "the policies of
militarism pursued by the U.S.
have resulted in millions of
deaths."
The grisly record is three mil-
lion in Indochina, one million in
Indonesia and East Timor, tens of
thousands in Latin America,
thousands more in Africa and the
Middle East.
The League would have us
"seek an end of the militarism
that has characterized this nation
for decades. Let us seek a world
in which security is gained
through disarmament, interna-
tional cooperation and social jus-
tice-not through escalation and
retaliation."
The Progressive agrees. "The
easy response is the military one.
That's what the people clamor
for. That's what the media clam-
or for. That's what our U.S
precedent would require.
But it is not the moral or the
sensible line of action. To pile
innoncent body upon innocent
body will do no one-and no
nation-any good."
They ask, "What kind of moral-
ity is it for Bush to decry the
killing of our civilians and then
go out and kiil some civilian.s
himself ?" George W. needs to be
reminded the problem is not the
solution.
Truth and civil liberties are the
first casualties of war. "This
country has a long tradition,"
according to The Nation , 'of
responding to fear by stifling dis-
sent, punishing association,
launching widespread political
spying and seeking shortcuts
around the Constitution."
Eric Fonei, author of The Story
of American Freedom , advises
that "at times of crisis the most
patriotic act is the unyielding
defense of civil liberties, the right
of dis.sent and equality for the law
for all."
Blind nationalism is dangerous,
and bombs are no solution.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Emerick,
Shippenville

Foxl from the Hyde Park, from Page 3.
University in the fall of 1998, I
still wanted to be a comedian. So
on a Labor Day evening in the
Gemmell Multipurpose Room,
there was a talent show that was
showcasing the new freshmen
class. I had signed up to perform
some standup comedy, hoping to
provide this audience with some
comic relief. For this being my
first effort at trying comedy, I was
lucky to get the few laughs that I
had gotten from this young crowd.
However, I still ended up getting
booed off the stage. Apparently
bashing myself didn't give me the
license to poke fun at the audience.
After I walked off, the coordinator
of the Talent Show sarcastically
commented to the crowd, "Well,
he's got four years to get it togeth-
er." The crowd laughed louder at
his comment than any joke I had
given them that evening.
More attempts at standup come-
dy had been made following that
gut-wrenching evening, such as
when I ventured off to a Wexford,
PA coffee shop in the summer of
'99. I tried an Andrew Dice Clay
approach of being e.xtremely
raunchy and offensive. This was a
failure. My high school friends
who came to support me that
evening recommended a thorough
clean-up job on my material.
Following that nonsuccess, a
month later I went to Oakland, PA
to a Friday Night Improv club that
was started by students from the
University of Pittsburgh many
years ago. They had allowed me to
use my new material before their
audience, and gladly, it was my
greatest success as a comic in
training to this very date.
My dramatization of daytime
television was well perceived as
well as my Charlton Heston rou-
tine about going to hunt for ani-
mals in a zoo with Ted Nugent.
This was an achievement that I
had yearned to repeat when I
returned to Clarion the following
semester. So I brought that same
material with me to Michelle's
Cafe, and it didn't go over as well
because of my negligence of ana-
lyzing the audience: people who
like to drink their Java and listen to
poetry and guitar playing, not
comedy.
The following summer I was in
charge of the drama activities at a
camp for financially disabled inner
city youth in Downingtown, PA,
which is not very far from
Philadelphia. This was very
rewarding because the children
and my co-workers appreciated
the humor and emulated it in the
skits that I had them perform. One
of my favorites was this skit that
was based on the Judge Judy
courtroom show where I played
the judge and I'd have a kid play
the bailiff, and two other children
play the parts of the defendant and
the plaintiff. Looking back on that
summer, I realize that my comedy
was a gift for these children. That
really makes me not only thankful
for having a passion for humor but
also the willingness to share that
passion with people who come
from very diverse cultural back-
grounds.
Reality check time had arrived
when it was time for me to return
to this exciting and lively universi-
ty for the next semester. This was
going to be an adjustment for me
because I was aware that since I'm
back here, my humor and open-
mindedness isn't going to be as
acceptable to this hollow-minded
alternate reality as it is anywhere
else on this planet.
Since then I've had no choice but
to use my radio show that I have at
91 .7 WCUC as a comedic exercise
even if a tiny cluster of the listen-
ing audience has to misunderstand
me and pass their judgment on.
They only have to misunderstand
me for the two minutes that I'm
permitted to speak on air with my
CO- host, John Crawford. Frankly,
if people are going to misinterpret
my intentions of livening up the
vibe around this place that ever so
reminds me of the 1998 movie
"Pleasantville," so be it.
Outside of my comic realm,
when I walk around campus, I rec-
ognize old faces that I haven't seen
since freshman year. It's a shame
because when I exchange words
with them, I notice right away
from casual conversation that they
haven't really allowed themselves
to grow as human beings.
For me this actually serves a pur-
pose because I am reminded of the
moment that I had chosen a direc-
tion earlier on in college and had
decided to stick with it until the
end. Realizing that I have only one
more year left at this college, the
grin on my face widens. I am
already certain that there is life
beyond this horizon. If you want to
know how to feel completely at
heaven while you are at college,
then allow all of your dreams to be
totally wiped and tarnished from
your imagination. If you choose to
not relinquish your dreams while
you are still at college, then you
will be the one who has the last
laugh.

Student Senate passes
two motions
by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
Two motions were passed by a
21-0-0 vote during the fourth
Student Senate meeting of the
2001-2002 academic year. The
first motion, made by Treasurer
Tom Clopp, was to allocate
$6,705 from the Supplemental
Reserve account to the Lift Every
Voice Gospel Choir for a College
Gospel Chior
Workshop/Conference. Treasurer
Clopp mentioned the fact that
choir members participated in
numerous fund-raising activities
before they even approached
Senate for additional funding.
Next, Senator Tameka
Washington moved to appoint the
following students to the Clarion
University Conduct Board: Kevin
Byrne, Treasurer Clopp, Vice
President Missy Gring, Senator
Amy Cohen, and Senator Tim
Smith. In addition, she said there
are currently three open positions
on the Foundation Advisory
Committee for any interested sen-
ators.
President Ben Chervenak
reminded senators to continue
working on the Voter Registration
Drive, which is one project
Student Senate has been handling
in conjunction with the BSGP. In
addition, he said the Safety Walk
through campus last Wednesday
with senators and public safety
officials was a success.
Parliamentarian Wendy Kengor
congratulated President
Chervenak on being named the
2001 Homecoming King during
the Autumn Leaf festivities.
Treasurer Clopp reported the
following account balances:
Capital, $86,939; Large Item
Capital, $437,038.13;
Supplemental, $14,156; and
Supplemental Reserve, $58,465.
Finally, Vice President Gring
announced Senator Rob Pica as
Senator of the Week. Senator Pica
was left speechless in regard to
this honor. However, President
Chervenak said, "Senator Pica's a
really busy guy, and he's been
doing a lot of work in preparation
for the upcoming Social Equity
Dinner."
According to President
Chervenak. there will be no meet-
ing Monday. October 8 due to a
Student Senate National
Conference in San Diego.
Therefore, the next Student
Senate meeting will be Monday.
October 15, 2001 at 7:30 p.m. in

Clarion University prepares for College Media Day V
by Susan Campbell
Clarion Call News Editor
Clarion University will be the
host for College Media Day V,
Friday, Oct. 12, 2001 from 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m. in order to educate com-
munication students in a host of
areas such as libel and marketing
yourself. This day is open to any
students or faculty from any
school.
College Media Day began with
funding from the former
Provost's office after a sticky sit-
uation occurred at The Clarion
Call. Clarion University decided
it needed a public forum for other
schools to ask questions about
libel. The Provost granted three
years of funding, but if College
Media Day was to continue,
funding would have to be found
without assistance from the
Provost's office. The funding has
been found and the theme
changed each year. This year's
theme is "Putting the Puzzle
Together."

the country about the latest ter-
rorism attack.

people a chance to know what it
is like behind the scenes in Times

dios.
There will be a media fair, and
the day will end with the panel of
returning graduates. This will
feature graduates such as
Brendan Anderer from MSNBC;
Joe Kopp from KDKA;and Bob
Kusbit from MTV. They will talk
about their jobs, how they got
there, and they will also be field-
ing questions from the audience.
"I hope that this year's event
will be even bigger than the last.
We have many big names and
many great sessions for every
attendee to hopefully get some-
thing out of the day," said
DeFazio. "College Media Day
has been a success in the past,
and we continue to have past
graduates and other professionals
return to share their experiences
with those in attendance."
College Media Day sponsors
include The Clarion Call, the
Society for Collegiate Journalists
(SCJ), the dean, provost, and the
Clarion University, and the
Clarion University
Communication Department.
'T hope College Media Day
serves to educate graduating
seniors about jobs they may one
day have." said Vice President of
SCJ, Amy Thompson.
Educating graduating seniors is
one gt)al that College Media Day
hopes to achieve. Other goals
include expanding more chapters
of SCJ, and to receive more sup-
port to create College Media Day
at other schools.
Many are involved in making
College Media Day happen.
These individuals include
DeFazio; Barlow; Mrs. Mary
Beth Earnheardt, professor of
communication; The Clarion
Call; the sponsors; and other
members of SCJ.
"College Media Day 'Putting
the Puzzle Together' is a great
opportunity for students to gain a
prospective on the world after
college, "says DeFazio. "It will
give everyone a chance to 'meet
and greet' professionals from
around the United States."
Clarion University U-ASC offers help to students
by Khalia Robinson
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Tucked away in a back cor-
ner of Becht Hall, the U-ASC
office offers big - help to
Clarion University students.
You may ask yourself the
question, "How can it help
me?" The University Advising
Services Center (U-ASC. ..get
it? U-ASC, we advise) serves
the needs of almost everyone
on campus. Under the direc-
tion of Dr. Marite Rodriguez-
Haynes, advising coordinator
and professor of psychology,
U-ASC provides general
information for all undergrad-
uate students. The center pro-
vides drop-in advising for stu-
dents who might need infor-
mation on majors, including
occupations associated with
the different majors. Students
can view checksheets from
every major in the U-ASC
office. Students can even go to
the U-ASC office to find out
who their advisor is (regard-
less of major) and how to con-
tact them. U-ASC advisors are
also available to answer any
general questions about
advisement.
Not only does U-ASC pro-
vide services to all of
Clarion's students, it serves as
a central advisement center for
undecided and liberal arts
majors. Faculty advisors vol-
unteer to take on additional
advisees in order to help the
students decide what major is
right for them. These faculty
advisors receive special train-
ing from U-ASC on how to
best advise undecided stu-
dents.
"I really appreciate the help
I received from U-ASC. So
many students come to college
confused and undecided about
what they want to pursue, but
U-ASC can definitely put you
on the right track," said an
anonymous sophomore student
majoring in Biology.
According to Pam Burford,
secretary of U-ASC, advisors
in the department work very
hard and remain determined to
help students in every way.
"I've also gotten to see famil-
iar faces. ..seeing our volun-
teer advisors," said Burford.
"I also love working with
Marite. She's a kind, under-
standing woman and is very
driven. I don't know when
I've seen someone with quite
that drive."
Included in the list of oppor-
tunities that U-ASC provides,
is the Academic and Career
Essentials for Success (ACES)
program. ACES is a binder
full of on-campus resources
for freshmen and transfer stu-
dents (and others also). In
addition to this and many
other things, U-ASC works
with residence life to connect
students' social and academic
lives. This year, instead of U-
ASC workers presenting the
ACES program to freshmen,
the residence hall directors
presented the program. The
audience turnout was better
than expected.
Any interested students may
come to the office Monday
through Friday between the
hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. or
Monday through Thursday
between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. for
drop-in advising. Ideally stu-
dents should make an appoint-
ment to ensure that their advi-
sor is available. Don't be
afraid to drop-in. though; this
is what most students do.
For more information, go to
www.clarion.edu/advising or
come into the office located
on the first floor of Becht
Hall. The phone number is
814-393-1879.

The BSGP comprises the presi-
dents of the state-owned universi-

ment presidents, along with the
other elected student government
officers from each of the campus-
es, meet four times a year to dis-
cuss issues of importance to the
more than 96,000 students who
attend State System universities.
In recent years the student leaders
have addressed such issues as
campus safety and security, civili-
ty, and alcohol abuse and binge
drinking.
The student leaders establish
goals and promote activities to
help improve the health, welfare,
and quality of education for stu-
dents throughout the system.

Theatre Review
Rocky Horror is a raucous good time
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
1 have to admit that I wasn't
a big Rocky person going into
Tuesday night's performance.
Then again, I wasn't a Grease
person either when my high
school did it and 1 had to learn
everyone's (and I mean
EVERYONE'S) lines, songs
and choreography as stage
manager. While I still hate
even the mention of "the
chicks'll cream," I can't say
the same after CU's Rocky
Horror Show (Tonight at 8
PM, Friday at 8 and Midnight,
in the MarwickBoyd Little
Theatre). In a sentence, I've
only had more fun simply
watching a show when I was
in the audience for the Blue
Man Group in Las Vegas.
1 knew a bit about the story,
and that there were all kinds
of shenanigans and goings-on
that were to accompany a
showing of the film, and that
Clarion was encouraging said
shenanigans with $5 "partici-
pation bags," but I never knew
how fun this would be.
Between confetti for Rocky
(Bret "Mr. Modesty" Sloan)
and Frank's (Trevor
Southworth, quite, um,
"frankly" the best-cast person
in the show) wedding, news-
paper for the "rainstorm" and
"cards of sorrow and cards of
pain," the air was full of
thrown objects, material and
verbal.
What was good: Well, I usu-
ally inject my plug to Myra
Bullington and Ed Powers
here for costumes and set
quality--- again far-above the
call of duty. I'll say this: I
wouldn't have believed some
of the ghouls would've made
it up and down the ladders as
liquid-spined as they did, a
credit to them and the set
itself. Acting was top-notch,
even when mics cut out during
songs (hey, not anything more
than a nit-pick. ..I know it's
opening night after all) and
when the crowd was laughing
just as hard at the Rocky afi-
cionado in their midst as what
was on stage. I'm not usually
a fan of squeaky, Brooklyn-
brat tones, but somehow,
Danielle Carman's Columbia
made it work. Add in Rob
Bullington's superb Igor-cum-
Peter-Travers Riff-Raff and
Dr. Brian Dunn's "no-jitters-
here" debut and the show
was fantastic.
What was less good: I can't
even find something in the
script I didn't like. Usually,
I'd blast holes in plot or con-
fusing action on stage, but
here, everything was done
with such glam-rock excess
that even the slightly over-
done 50's B-Movie camp stuff
was right at home.
So if you're one of the lucky
ones who got tickets (or some-
one's seat since they didn't
show), I can guarantee you'll
love what you see. And I must
recommend thai the poorest
college kids among us pony up
the Fiver for a bag of good-
ies. ..it's much more fun that
way.
See you all at the midnight
show. ..but I may not look like
me.

Pennsylvania with Peru
through visual symbols.
Images to be used will be
inspired by the geography
and cultures of the two
regions. For example, the
ancient Parker's Landing
petroglyphs will represent
culture.<i of western
Pennsylvania, and Peru will
be symbolized by designs
from pre-Columbian ceram-
ics and textiles.
Each participants" art will
become part of two fabric
murals, one for northwest-
ern Pennsylvania and one to
hang in Peru. A parallel
project will be done with
Peruvians, and some of
their panels will also
become part of the
Pennsylvania mural. The
murals will be featured on
an interactive website for
the project where people
can write to each other in
English or Spanish.

Music Review
Get Ready to rediscover New Order
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor^
ARTIST/ALBUM: New
Order - Get Ready.
FOR FANS OF: Electronica-
friendly rock; prog for the mass-
es.
FOR FURTHER LISTENING:
Electronic 's Twisted
Tenderness, The Doves' Lost
Souls, Garbage's Version 2.0.
Way back in my high school
days. I had a concrete vision of
where I wanted to be and what I
wanted to do in college. First
was to drastically improve my
social status. Let's see, I've
accomplished that. Next, to
become an editor at the college
paper. Yep, got that covered.
Bcttei grades.' Ummm...see me
next semester. And finally, 1
wanted to write a euphoric
review of the triumphant come-
back album I was sure would be
released by my then-favorite
group. New Order. Well, the
comeback album is here, and so
is the review, though not quite
as ecstatic as I'd hoped it would
be.
Gel Ready has been a long
time coming. I've been waiting
for this record since 1993,
which is when their last album,
Republic, was unleashed. A lot
has changed in that time. My
critic's ears have gradually been
trained to appreciate more
sophisticated sounds; more
intricate arrangements. Bernard
Sumner's emotionally detached
vocals, which spoke directly to
my alienated heart in high
school, have been traded in for
more emotive singers, such as
Thorn Yorke and Jeff Buckley.
The thinking man's dancefloor
anthems of New Order have
been supplanted with the think-
ing man's art-rock of my now-
favorite group, Radiohead.
After nearly a decade of
silence and lackluster side pro-
jects, 1 didn't hold much hope.
Republic itself was a mixed bag,
the sound of a group utterly los-
ing passion for making music,
nearly becoming a Sumner solo
project along the way, with nary
a live drum set and precious few
classic Peter Hook bass lines to
be found. The album drowned
in a sea of predictable dance
grooves and syrupy synths.
The 1999 release of Sumner's
side project. Electronic, showed
that one of the original post-
punk guitar gods was develop-
ing a newfound love of the
instrument; as the album was
filled with driving Led
Morris ferociously slaps his set
around as if his life depended on
it, especially on the messy, raw
"Rock The Shack." Sumner's
once-spiky guitar has smoothed
out the edges, resulting in a
more streamlined attack with
less feedback and random bursts
of noise that nevertheless packs
a formidable punch. Most
importantly, bassist Peter Hook
is in top form, churning out his
now-patented bass hooks (no
pun intended) at every turn.
Get Ready doesn't offer any-
thing drastically new for the
group, save the acoustic closer,
"Run Wild," but it does show
them adapting their sound for
Zeppelin-esque beats and elastic
rhythms and riffs.
Get Ready only confirms this.
New Order haven't rocked this
urgently since 198C's
Brotherhood album. A fruitless
nostalgia romp this ain't,
though it is reminiscent of their
earlier work. Drummer Steve

today's audience. And unlike
recent comeback albums by
other 80s stalwarts Depeche
Mode and Echo and the
Bunnymen, New Order is less
concerned with digging them-
selves a comfortable AAA-radio
rut than they are actually rock-
ing out. They sound alive, vital
and above all - to be enjoying
themselves and each other, a
feat that has always been diffi-
cult for this most private of
groups.
Dense production that over-
flows with attention to detail,
sharp songwriting and skillfull
playing are all aspects that Echo
and Depeche mined on their
recent albums, but they seemed
lifeless, listless and bored by
the whole procedure. New
Order launch themselves with
full force on every track, includ-
ing the ballads, infusing them
with strains of pure joy of
music. It's the sound of a band
rediscovering themselves and
their craft; filled with positive
sentiments and organic sounds;
the complete antithesis of
Republic's glittering, yet vacu-
ous trinkets.
The opening salvo and leadoff
single, "Crystal." is the perfect
encapsulatit)n of Get Ready.
Live drums nest comfortably
next to programmed drum
loops; Hook's bass takes the
forefront, providing the song
with both its definmg rhythm
and unforgettable melody all at
once; Gillian Gilbert's key-
boards float in and out of the
mix unobtrusively; and
Sumner's awkward vocals are
just as endearing as they were
15 years ago. "Crystal' is slick,
ultra-produced and processed,
yet it is performed with the cav-
alier, off-the-cuff manner that
only accomplished veterans
with supreme beliefs in their
abilities could manage. The
fact that it is already climbing
the dance charts in even the
USA is a testament to the stay-
ing power of this band.
"60 Miles Per Hour" dupli-
cates the formula of "Crystal"
with slightly less impressive
results, but is never boring.
When New Order does slow
down the tempo for more intro-
spective songs, the music still
remains invigorating, such as in
"Vicious Streak," with its com-
puterized bass loop that feels
like an anvil tied to your brain.
The only other track that finds
New Order in subdued mode is
the prog-tinted "Run Wild,"
which is already being hotly
debated among devoted fans as
either one of the best things
they've ever done, or a sappy
and simplistic piece of psyche-
delic folk-cheese.
In "Run Wild," Sumner actu-
ally opts for a straight-forward
narrative, as he paints a
poignant love song with a frag-
ile acoustic guitar and harmoni-
ca. "Run Wild" slowly crescen-
dos into waves of strings and
synthesizers colored by deepest
dusk. When Sumner, backed by
the angelic Gillian Gilbert,
informs his lover that "When
Jesus comes to take your hand/ I
won't let go," it's quite possibly
the most emotionally direct
mt)ment these musicians have
shown us since 1980, when they
were still the dark visionary
group known as Joy Division.
They've never sounded so at
peace than here. Sappy?
Maybe, but I guess that we all
have to grt)w up sometime, and
it's done gracefully here.
Perhaps the most telling
moments on Get Ready are the
collaborations with Billy
Corgan (yes, that Billy) and
Primal Scream, on "Turn My
Way" and "Rock The Shack,"
respectively. The Great
Pumpkin himself appears on
"Turn My Way" to provide both
vocals and guitar. I'm not sure
if the track bridges the gap
between Corgan's dearly depart-
ed group and New Order's dis-
cofied punk, or is just a desper-
ate attempt at hipster points.
Taken on its own merits, it's a
fine modern rock song, filled
with wistful lament, and
Corgan's voice compliments
Sumner's quite nicely.
"Rock The Shack," despite its
ridiculous title, is the album's
most aggressive track, as a raw
guitar in the vein of MC5 or The
Stooges parades around like a
drunken thug, while Screamer
Bobby Gillespie provides plenty
of fractured, dissonant squelch-
es and nasal sneers. Sumner's
funk-fried down-and-dirty gui-
tar repeats and expounds upon
his guest appearance on the
Scream's last album, "Shoot
Speed/Kill Light." The whole
mess melts down after four min-
utes of noisy outbreak. Not bad
for a bunch of reserved
Englishmen (and women) that
are pushing 50 years of age.
New Order's glory days, both
in my own aesthetic view and
the musical world at large may
be long gone, but Get Ready is a
rock-solid reminder of what
made them the 80s greatest
musical creation.
It's a great reminder of what
made them so great in the old
days, and why newer fans
should check them out.
Welcome back guys, I missed
you. 4 out of 5 stars.

Movie Review
Zoolander is a victim of its own fashion sense
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifest^vles Editor
For years, Saturday Night
Live has ignored a very sim-
ple rule - recurring sketches
on the show DO NOT WORK
AS FULL-LENGTH
MOVIES!!!!!! The casual
breaking of this fundamental
rule then spread to other
sketch comedy shows, includ-
ing the Canadian mainstay
Kids In The Hall, with their
slight little film. Brain
Candy. From there, it spread
to MTV as they decided to
green-light a feature-length
version of Beavis and
Butthead. The horror. Now,
it seems as if VHl feels left
out of the fun, and has decid-
ed to get in the game.
Unfortunately, this game has
no winners, and the only loser
is the audience.
Zoolander, based on a short
little sketch that Ben Stiller
formulated on the VHl
Fashion Awards show (and
what the hell is a music chan-
nel broadcasting a fashion
award show for, anyway?), is
just the latest casualty in the
ever-growing throng of failed
sketch-to-film concepts.
Let me address all of these
bigwig Hollywood types right
now - Wayne 's World was a
fluke!! This WILL NOT hap-
pen again, no matter how hard
you try! Even the sequel was
only moderately enjoyable!
Zoolander isn't the worst destroy the quality of life for
example of this broken rule, other people. ..oh wait - that
not by a long shot (Night At really is the truth.
The Roxbury probably takes A new prime minister of
the cake for that), but it cer- Malaysia has been elected,
tainly is an offense to movie- and declares to end unjust
goers with good taste and an child labor practices within
Ben Stiller as Derek Zoolander, with a not-so-brlght expression
on his face.
IQ that is above their bucket
of popcorn.
The plot of Zoolander (Ha
ha ha! Get it? It's an oxy-
moron!! Like 'military intelli-
gence.' Warning - that joke I
just cracked is about as funny
as anything else in
Zoolander) centers on a con-
spiracy within the fashion
world, which is all a front for
international terrorism, it
turns out. As if anyone cared
that Kate Moss was really a
brainwashed agent out to
the country. Of course, this
would cripple the fashion
industry, so a shadowy con-
sortium of designers, led by
an ex-member of Frankie
Goes To Hollywood, Mugatu
(Will Ferrell), must take him
out. (Trust me - if you didn't
hate "Relax" before going
into Zoolander, you will
afterwards). They need a
patsy to murder the prime
minister; someone who is
dumb enough to be molded to
their needs. Three-time male

model of the year Derek
Zoolander (Ben Stiller) fits
the bill nicely.
His model friends having
recently died in a freak gaso-
line fight incident (don't ask).
Zoolander has retired from
the fashion world, discover-
ing that there is more to life
than "being really, really,
really fabulously good-look-
ing," or so he thinks. But
when Mugatu offers him a
modeling job, Zoolander
can't resist. He is brain-
washed to kill the prime min-
ister on cue, but an intrepid
reporter for Time unearths
this plot, and along with a fel-
low male model. Hansel
(played with usual idiocy by
Owen Wilson), attempts to
rescue the dim-witted
Zoolander from himself.
Along the way, the writ-
ers/directors mine the usual
tired fish-out-of-water rou-
tines, the patented Jim
Carrey-dumb guy routine, and
plenty of other cliches to
boot. Here is another rule for
you Hollywood types, just to
fill you in: Celebrity cameos
do not make for a good
movie, or even a very funny
film!!! If I see one more film
where celebrities poke fun at
themselves in. an exclusi\e,
in-joke sort of manner, I'm
going to flip.
The exception fo this is
(Spoiler alert! Stop reading if
the appearance of one uncrcd--
itcd celebrity will ruin \oiir
enjoyment of thi.s dri\cl)
David Bowie's role. Wlu)
better to judge a model walk-
off than Ziggy Stardust? I
guess if he can't make decent
music anymore, he might as
well resign himself to appear-
ing in low-grade comedies.
Stiller is filled with manic
energy throughout the entire
film, as per usual, but he just
doesn't have decent material
to work with this time out.
Occasionally, his comic tim-
ing is enough to carry off
some jokes, but others are too
mired in stupidity even for
him. Mostly, he just comes
off as awkward as the name
for the building he plans to
erect one day: "Center For
Children Who Can't Read
Very Well, And Would Like
To Learn To Do Other Things
Good, Too."
As for the rest of the cast,
Ferrell chews scenery and
overacts every chance he
gets. His Flock Of Seagulls
hairdo is more entertaining
than his performance. I don't
even think that Wilson is act-
ing; I truly believe he is that
dumb, and Jon Voight contin-
ues his downward slide that
he started with Toinb Raider.
I expected more from Stiller
after the hilarity of Meet The
Parents, but Zoolander is a
serious misstep for him. The
entire film is directed like one
huge music video, with
vibrant colors, hit songs and
flashy camera work at every
turn. Unfortunately, those
nifty little gimmicks can't
hide the fact that Zoolander is
every hit as empty-headed as
its mam charactci. 1 1/2 out
of 5 stars.

Mr. Grammer returns to help you avoid embarrassment
by Dave Barry
Svndicated Writer
Welcome to another episode of "Ask
Mister Language Person," the column
written by the language expert who
recently won the World Wrestling
Federation Grammar Smackdown when
he kneed William Safire right in the
gerunds.
Our first language question comes
from an extremely high federal official,
who asks:
Q. What are the mandatorical parts of
speech that is required to be in a sen-
tence?
A. To be grammatorically correct, a
sentence must have three basic ele-
ments: (1) A SUBJECT, which is a noun
that can be either a person, place or
mineral; (2) A VERB, which is word
that describes an action, such as "kung
fu"; and (3) AN OBJECT, which is a
noun that weighs two or more pounds.
Let's see how these elements combine
to form this example sentence, written
by Marcel Proust:
"Being late at night. Earl failed to
check his undershorts for lipstick
stains, which is why he was awokened
at 6:30 a.m. by Lurleen whanging him
upside his head with a object."
Q. Speaking of Marcel Proust, what
can the letters in his name be
rearranged to spell?
A. "Rump Locaters."
Q. I am a top business executive writ-
ing an important memo, and I wish to
know if the following wording is cor-
rect: "As far as sales, you're figures do
not jive with our parameters."
A. You have made the common gram-
matical error of using the fricative
infundibular tense following a third-
person corpuscular imprecation. The
correct wording is: "As far as sales,
your fired."
Q. I am a foreign person from abroad
visiting the United States, and I would
like to know how to speak so I can "fit
in" with the locals.
A. This depends on where you are.
For example, suppose that somebody
says "hello" to you:
CORRECT RESPONSE IN THE
MIDWEST: "You can make a bet on
that! It is not presenting any prob-
lems!"
CORRECT RESPONSE IN URBAN
AREAS: "Are you talking? To me?
Forget all about it, bagful of dirt!"
CORRECT RESPONSE IN THE
SOUTH: "I am fixing to experience a
hankering for a pig organ such as
chitlings, you all!"
Q. I am a member of the United States
House of Representatives, and recently,
following an incident that was totally
not my fault involving an underage
Shetland pony, I was charged with
"moral turpitude." My question is: Is
that bad? If so, would IMMORAL
turpitude be good? Also, is there a rock
band called "Marcel and the
Turpitudes?"
A. There certainly should be.
Q. You know how, when you're wait-
ing on hold for Customer Service, they
have a recorded voice tell you that
"your call may be monitored?" Who,
exactly, may be monitoring it?
A. Keanu Reeves.
Q. In the song "I Shot the Sheriff,"
how come the singer keeps loudly
announcing that he shot the sheriff, but
he did NOT shoot the deputy? Is he in
some weird municipality where it's a
serious criminal offense to shoot a
deputy, but if you shoot the actual sher-
iff, hey, no problem?
A. Your question is very important to
us.
Q. Is it time to pad out this column
with true examples of strong language
usage sent in by alert readers?
A. It most surely is:
•Paul Briggs sent in an Associated
Press article concerning a referendum
to ban alcohol sales in Fairhope
Township, Pa., in which a resident is
quoted as making the following allega-
tion about the town's only bar, Hillbilly
Havep: "Some nights, I think they have
those teriyaki songs."
•Marcia Berner and Charlie Dallas
sent in a newsletter from the
Musselman Funeral Home in Lemoyne,
Pa., that has two front-page articles,
one headlined "Cremation Around the
World," and the other headlined,
"Outdoor Grilling Tips."
•Ann Stanley sent in an article from
The Winston-Salem Journal that
begins: "An attacker shot and killed a
Spanish newspaper executive seven
times yesterday. ..."
•Dan Lothringer sent in an article
from The Houston Chronicle that
begins: "Texans used to enjoying a
frosty brew inside their car may soon
find themselves slapped with a hefty
ticket, with a bill banning open con-
tainers of alcohol in cars speeding to
the governor's desk."
•Sharon Canada sent in an English-
language driver's manual for foreigners
in the Republic of Korea, which con-
tains this statement: "Drivers must not
allow passengers to make noise or dis-
order such as dancing on vehicles to the
degree of interrupting safe driving."
Q. Does that mean that a certain
amount of dancing on vehicles is OK?
A. Yes, under the right circumstances,
such as when the vehicle is speeding
toward the governor's desk and every-
one is singing teriyaki songs.
TODAY'S TIP FOR "PROFESSION-
AL" WRITERS: When writing poetry,
be sure to express angst.
WRONG: Jack fell down, and broke
his crown.
RIGHT: Jack fell down, and experi-
enced a bunch of angst.

Mr. Grammer returns to help you avoid embarrassment
by Dave Barry
Syndicated VVriter
Welcome \o another episode ol "'Ask
Mister Language Person."" the column
written by the language expert who
recently won the World Wrestling
Federation Grammar Smackdown when
he kneed William Safire right in the
gerunds.
Our I'lrsl language question comes
from an extremely high federal ot't'icial,
who asks:
Q. What are the mandatoncal parts of
speech that is required to be in a sen-
tence?
A. To be grammatorically correct, a
sentence must have three basic ele-
ments: ( 1 ) A SUBJECT, which is a noun
that can be either a person, place or
mineral; (2) .\ VERB, which is word
that describes an action, such as "kung
fu"; and (3) AN OBJECT, which is a
noiin that weighs two or more pounds.
l,et"s see how these elements combine
to form this example sentence, written
by Marcel Proust:
■'Being late at night, Earl failed to
check his undershorts for lipstick
stains, which is why he was awokened
at 6:30 a.m. by Lurleen whanging him
upside his head with a object."
Q. Speaking of Marcel Proust, what
can the letters in his name be
rearranged to spell?
A. "Rump Locaters."
Q. I am a top business executive writ-
ing an important meint), and I wish to
know if the following wording is cor
rect: ""As far as sales, you're figures do
not jive with our parameters."
A. You have made the common gram-
matical error of using the fricative
infundibular tense following a third-
person corpuscular imprecation. The
correct wording is: "".As far as sales,
your fired."
Q. I am a foreign person Irom abroad
visiting the United States, and 1 would
like \o know how to speak so 1 can "lit
in"' with the locals.
A. This depends on where you are.
For example, suppose that somebody
says "hello" to you:
CORRECT RESPONSE IN THE
MIDWEST: "You can make a bet on
that! It is not presenting any prob-
lems!"
CORRECT RESPONSE IN URBAN
AREAS: "Are you talking? To me?
Forget all about it, bagful of dirt!"
CORRECT RESPONSE IN THE
SOUTH: "I am fixing to experience a
hankering for a pig organ such as
chitlings. you all !"
Q. I am a member of the United Slates
House of Representatives, and recently,
following an incident that was iotall\
not Miy fault imohing an underage
Shetland pony. I was charged uith
"moral turpitude."" My question is: Is
that bad' If so. would IMMOKAI
turpitude be good'.' Also, is there a rock
band called "Marcel and the
Turpitudes .'""
A. There certainly should be.
Q. You know how, when youre wait-
ing on hold for Customer Service. the\
have a recorded voice tell you that
"your call may be monitored.'"' Who,
exactly, may be monitoring it '
A. Keanu Reeves.
Q. In the song "I Shot the Sheriff. "
how come the singer keeps loudly
announcing that he shot the sheriff, but
he did NOT shoot the deputy' Is he in
some weird municipality where it"s a
serious criminal offense to shoot a
deputy, but if you shoot the actual sher-
iff, hey, no problem?
A. Your question is very important to
us.
Q. Is it time to pad out this column
with true examples of strong language
usage sent in by alert readers?
A. It most surely is:
•Paul Briggs sent in an Associated
Press article concerning a referendum
to ban alcohol sales in Fairhope
Township, Pa., in which a resident is
quoted as making the following allega-
tion about the town's only bar, Hillbilly
Havep: "Some nights, I think they have
those teriyaki songs."
•Marcia Berner and Charlie Dallas
sent in a newsletter from the
Musselman Funeral Home in I.emoyne,
Pa., that has tuo front-page articles,
one headlined "Cremation Around the
World."' and the other headlined,
"Outdoor (lulling lips'"
•Ann Siank'N scni in an aiticle from
The Winston Salem J()uinal that
begins: "An attacker shot and killed a
Spanish nev\spaper cxecutise seven
limes yesteida). . "'
•Dan Lothringei sent in an article
from The Houston Chronicle that
begins: "Texans used to enjv)\ing a
frosts brew inside their car ma> socm
find themselves slapped with a hefty
ticket, with a bill banning open con-
tainers of alcohol in cars speeding to
the governor"s desk.""
•Sharon Canada sent in an linglish
language driver"s manual for foreigners
m the Republic ol Korea, which con-
tains this statement: "Drivers must not
allow passengers to make noise or dis-
order such as dancing on vehicles to the
degree of interrupting safe driving."
Q. Does that mean that a certain
ainount of dancing on vehicles is OK?
A. Yes, under the right circumstances,
such as when the vehicle is speeding
toward the governor's desk and every-
one is singing teriyaki songs.
TODAY'S TIP FOR 'PROFESSION-
AL'" WRITERS: When writing poetry,
be sure to express angst.
WRONG: Jack fell down, and broke
his crown.
RIGHT: Jack fell down, and experi-
enced a bunch of angst.

ing you.

October 1-7, 2001
Aries (March 21-April 20) . Messages from friends may be
unusually fast. Expect changing plans and last-minute
cancellations. At present, friends and lovers may be
mentally scattered or unsure of their priorities.
Taurus (April 21-May 20) . New financial or business
instructions may be unnerving. Watch for colleagues and key
officials to be easily influenced by private information,
gossip or social innuendo.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Business interest and career
ambition will return. For the past seven months, disgruntled
colleagues or work officials may have restricted your options
or changed your daily success. Aim higher.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) . Romantic promises, social messages
or family plans may change without notice. Expect loved
ones to dispute daily plans, schedules or social obligations.
Competing loyalities and past history may be ongoing themes.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22). Business routines are unpredictable.
Expect authority figures, teachers or mentors to distrust new
information or ask for detailed written explanations. Past
projects, deadlines or legal records iriay be unclear.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Social or romantic demands may be
unreasonable. Expect loved ones to reveal an unusual
jealousy or request strong public loyality. Business errors
will be costly. False am.ounts or customer relations may be
key issues.
hxbrai (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Long-term romantic partners may
take a more active role in your life. Loved ones may need
challange old ideas, establish fresh emotional boundries or
reaffirm their social and remantic idenity.
Scoxrpxo (Oct.24-Nov. 21). Delayed romantic progress or
■ unuaual social messages may be intriguing. After a long
period of emotional isolation, love realtions will become
clear, obvious and sincere. Carefully study the reactions of
loved ones.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Romance will enter an
important phase of decision. Watch for minor home changes or
confl.icting obligations to create new daily priorities and
strained social loyalities.
Capricorn (Dec. 22- Jan
2o;
Energy is low. Expect moments
of tiredness and emotional strain. For some Capricorns, skin
ailments or digestive irritations may also be disruptive.
Get extra rest and study diet to exercise programs for
improvements .
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19). Gentle pressure from loved ones
may reaffirm your faith in long-term romance. Expect lovers
or close friends to finally address dificult emotional
issues, past social history or recent disappointments.
Fisces (Feb. 20- March 20) . Home relationships will begin a
phase of understanding and social belonging. Minor tensions
or emotional power struggles may have disrupted key
relationships. Now, however, loved ones will welcome group
events, intimacy and unusual social plans.
If Your Birthday is This Week Take extra time for
rest, relaxation and thought. New romantic relationships
will experience sudden ultimatums or quicky revised social
agendas. Carefully decide if present lovers have your best
interest in mind. For a private consultation, please visit

Clarion steps down to #1 Lock Haven
by Stephanie DeFlorentis
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The Golden Eagle soccer team
suffered a tough loss to number
one seed, Lock Haven, last
night, with a final score of 0-7.
The Clarion women are now 1-8
overall and 0-2 in the PSAC
while Lock Haven are 9-1 over-
all and 5-0 in the PSAC.
The women stuck with Lock
Haven for the duration of the
first half and even had the first
attempted goal. By the end of
the first half, Lock Haven had
three goals scored on Clarion.
Lock Haven is currently num-
ber one in the PSAC and has
much more experience playing
as a team under their belts than
the Golden Eagles. By the end
of the second half. Lock Haven
had scored another four goals to
finish off with a total of seven
for the game.
"They were a very tough team,
but I feel that we left everything
on the field. Defensively, we
broke down and made some
mistakes that they capitalized
on. Overall, we hung in there
and gave them a game," said
coach Alonzo.
Clarion went into the game
with the main objective of con-
taining Lock Haven as best as
they could to try and prevent
scoring. The women tried to
play defensively minded
throughout the game. The
Golden Eagles also planned to
hang in the action and keep the
Lock Haven offense out of their
territory.
"We went into the game know-
ing that we would have to play
aggressive. Within the first five
minutes, Clarion already had a
first shot on goal. Even though
we lost, we played at their level
for most of the game and stuck

Some of the top performers for
the game were goalie, C.J.

Harrington. Gattens had a total
of 19 saves while Harrington
worked the defensive end of the
field.
The Golden Eagles will be
away for the next two games,

Clarion to host teams in annual Holiday Inn Classic
Courtesy of Sports
Information
The Golden Eagle volleyball team plays
host to the 12-team Holiday Inn Classic this
weekend in both Tippin Gymnasium and
the Student Recreation Center. Action
begins at 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 5, and 9
a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6. The champi-
onship game is being played at 1:30 p.m.
on Saturday.
"The tournament has been a traditional
event here at Clarion," said first-year head
coach Tracy Fluharty. "Every year it
becomes more competitive, and I don't
think this year is any different. Just by
looking at this year's teams, there should
be a lot of competition in the pools. I think
it can be anyone's game. I think both the
volleyball fans and the other teams will
find the tournament very rewarding. Each
team, in each pool, should be very compet-
itive with one another, and I think we might
see a lot of matches going to five sets."
The 12 teams will be divided into four
pools of three teams, with the winner of
each pool moving into the championship
round and the other two teams playing a
consolation game.
The winner of the pool will be determined
by the team with the best record of the pool.
If all teams have a 1-1 record, then the win-
ner of the pool will be determined by the
number of games a team won by. If they are
still tied, then a point-differential will be
used to determine the winner.
The pools will be split as follows: Pool A:
Clarion, Millersville, and Southampton.
Pool B: Lock Haven, West Chester, and
Concordia. Pool C: East Stroudsburg,
Fairmont State, and Pfeiffer. Pool D:
Slippery Rock, Wheeling Jesuit, and
Anderson (SC).
Clarion enters the tournament with an 1 1-
11 record through Oct. 2. The Golden
Eagles have won seven of their last 13
matches.
"Overall as a team, we are playing
extremely well together. There is no self-
ishness at all, and everyone is doing their
part to help each other win."
Golden Eagles host California in PSAC-West stand-oflF
by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Call Sports Editor
The Golden Eagles have a lot at
stake this weekend during their
PSAC-West showdown game
against California. The game will
be held on Saturday, Oct. 7 at
Memorial Stadium.
Clarion is coming off of their
best 2001 victory after defeating
Kutztown, 36-7. The Golden
Eagles, led by head coach Malen
Luke, are 2-3 overall and 0-1 in
the PSAC-West. The Eagles lost
at East Stroudsburg (33-27) and at
NCAA Div.I-AA Youngstown
State 44-0 at the beginning of the
season, returned to Memorial
Stadium to defeat Tiffin (27-14),
lost in the final minute at
Shippensburg (34-29) and
knocked off Kutztown (36-7) last
Saturday.
California is off to a speedy 4-0
start in 2001. Sixth year head
coach, Mike Kolakowski, has led
the Vulcans to wins over Geneva
(28-6), Fairmont State (34-14),
Mansfield (35-20) and Edinboro
(34-24). Kolakowski has a record
of 25-33 with the Vulcans.
California is looking to use the
game as a springboard to the
remainder of its PSAC-West
schedule. Clarion is looking for
the same effect after last
Saturday's win.
Clarion's offense is averaging
331 yards per game including 228
rushing yards and 103 passing
yards per game.

Golden Eagles suffer loss to PSAC-West: Edinboro
by Laura Altman
Clarion Call Sports Writer
On Tuesday, Oct. 2, the
Clarion women's volleyball
team had a home advantage for
the game against Edinboro's
"Fighting Scots."
Both teams went into the game
with a PSAC-West record of 2-
1, but unfortunately. Clarion
ended the night with a record of
2-2 while the Scots gained
another PSAC-West victory.
Even though the team fell to
Edinboro after competing in
three sets, coach Tracy Fluharty
felt that the team worked the
defense accordingly.
"The team played extremely
well on the defense. The defen-
sive specialists did a great job
of covering the back court,"
said Fluharty.
The team suffered a loss to
Edinboro with resulting scores
of 29-31, 28-30, and 24-30 for
sets one, two and three respec-
tively. At one point in both sets
one and two, the Golden Eagles
were leading by six points.
Unfortunately for Clarion, they
were unable to hold on for the
duration of the set. Clarion's
downfall came with the seven
service errors at very decisive
points of the sets.
"The team's seven service
errors at critical times con-
tributed to the team's loss,"
commented Fluharty.
In addition to this, Clarion
was unable to get kills on the
transition balls. The team had a
total of 101 attempts at those
transitions, but only made 40
successful kills. This was anoth-
er factor that contributed to the
eventual loss.
Melanie Bull lead the women
with a total of 13 kills, Beth
Stalder contributed with eight,
and Aligraham pulled in six.
Also, the team had 50 digs
during the game. Graham had
20 of those digs, while Bull,
Laurie Hepler, and Kate
Waksmunski each contributed
with seven digs. In addition to
these plays, the Golden Eagles
had a total of eight blocks and
Jackie Hill made way with 26
assists.
"Our only focus is to get
stronger with every game. It's
time we peak because we are in
the middle of the season," said
Fluharty.
The Golden Eagles will host
their annual tournament on Oct.
5-6 at Tippin Gymnasium. They
will match up against
Millersville at 4 p.m. on Friday
and also play Southampton at 8
p.m.
"We need to play one game at
a time and stay focused, we
need to make it through the
championship game that will be
at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday,"
added Fluharty.

On Aug. 29, Martin became
the first woman to play (and
score) in a Division I game
when she kicked three extra
points in Jacksonville (Ala.)
State's 72-10 victory over
Cumberland in a Division I-AA
game.
Martin's first kick prompted a
standing ovation, and she thrust
a fist into the air as she jogged
to the sideline. After the game,
teammates chanted "Ashley!
Ashley!" and she received the
game ball.
She slept for two hours,
appeared on "Good Morning,
America," then hopped a plane
to Southwest Missouri State,
where she joined Jacksonville
State's women's soccer team.
Although Martin, a sopho-
more, is featured on a team T-
shirt with the logo "Battle of the
Sexes," she did not consider
herself a groundbreaker.
"That's not what it's about at
all," she told reporters before
the game. "That would be like
I'm making a statement, and
that's not the case. I've got a job
to do. and that's what I'm
focused on."
Martin joined the Gamecocks
out of necessity: They had just
one kicker on the roster, Steven
Lee, and he was a transfer.
But an assistant coach knew
Martin had kicked for East
Coweta High in Sharpsburg, Ga.
iShe was selected homecoming
queen and reportedly accepted
the crown in her football uni-
form.) So the Gamecocks invit-
ed her to training camp. She
made 20 of 22 point-after
attempts against a live rush.
The NCAA doesn't keep such
records, but according to the
Associated Press, the only other
woman to score in a college
game is Liz Heaston, who
kicked two extra points in 1997
for then-NAIA Willamette
University in Salem,, Ore. ,
The first woman to suit up for
a college game was Louisville's
Kathy Klop, in 1995, but she
never played.
Hail, hail to history. Karen
England is making history at
Michigan, although she isn't
playing for the Wolverines.
England is the first woman to
lead the famed Michigan
marching band in its 103-yeaT
history. But England, Hke
Martin, didn't set out to break
barriers.
"It's a bigger deal to me to be
leading the band," she said three
weeks ago. "Being the first
woman is an extra perk."
A 22-year-old senior from
Greenville, Mich., England
trained for three years and won
the position (called drum major)
by a vote of her peers after a 10-
step tryout last spring.
She carries a baton, not an
instrument, and directs the band
through its pregame, halftime
and postgame routines - the
most famous being "Hail to the
Victors." She also organizes
non-football functions.
England's success is a big deal
to past and present female mem-
bers, she said. The band used to
be called "The Marching Men
of Michigan," and there were no
women until 1972. Now, 52 per-
cent of the 400 members are
women.
"What bothers me is that peo-
ple assume 1 wanted to do this
to be the first woman," she said.
"But in the band, they know
hovv 1 feel. If that was my sole
reason for doing this, they'd see
right through it. But I'll proba-
bly look back on this years later,
and it'll be neat."

Coaches drill fear of loss into minds of athletes
by Blair Kerkhoff
Courtesy of Krt Campus
lis not necessarily a hot media
topic with college coaches.
After all. nobody wants to talk
about the pix^spect of losing.
But, certainlv, coaches will drill
it into their players' heads as a
motivational factor. Recovery
time. Florida State has it. The
Tennessee-Florida loser has had
it. And, on Saturday, the loser of
Saturday's showdown between
Kansas State and Oklahoma will
have it. It's simple: The earlier
in the season a contender loses,
the better chance that team has
to recover.
"That's right," Oklahoma
coach Bob Stoops said. "That's
been proven in the way people
vote in the polls."
Certainly, the roads to recov-
ery are different. This season, it
would be a trickier path for K-
State because it would have to
cover more ground in the polls.
The Wildcats are ranked
eleventh and ninth in the major
polls. Losing on Saturday, some
suggest, could wipe them out of
the nationaltitle picture entire-
iy-
But big games lie ahead for
the Wildcats - vs. Colorado and
Texas A&M at home, at
Nebraska, possibly even the Big
12 championship game - that
could propel them back into the
big-bowl picture.
The Sooners, meanwhile, are
ranked third in both major polls
and wouldn't fall as far as K-
State.
And Oklahoma even provides
a recent model of a team that,
early in the season, made the
most of a low ranking. Just last
year, the Sooners didn't lose
early but were ranked 14th in
the final Associated Press poll
of September.
That's when they started their
sensational run, beating Texas,
Kansas State and Nebraska in
successive games.
By the end of October,
Oklahoma was ranked first,
where it remained the rest of the
season.
College football scholars can
debate the merits of a playoff
system, but there is no arguing
that the game's regular season
holds more meaning because
one bowl settles the title issue.
Every weekend is a playoff,
with lo.sers falling to the bottom
of the contender list. The trick is
not to fall late like several Big
12 schools have done in the last
five years.
Nebraska kissed its national
chanipionship hopes good-bye
in 1996, when it fell to Texas in
the league championship game.
Two years later, the same fate
doomed K-State, which lost to
Texas A&M.
The Big 12's habit of schedul-
ing its mega matchups late
(Nebraska vs. Kansas State,
Nebraska vs. Oklahoma) makes
for high drama and hard falls in
the major-bowl picture for the
loser.
But aside from the made-for-
TV slot games like Nebraska-
Colorado and Texas-Oklahoma,
Big 12 scheduling is m'ostly
luck of the draw.
It just so happens that K-State
is meeting Oklahoma on
Saturday, that both are highly
ranked and that the loser has a
chance to battle back through
the polls and return to a nation-
al title hunt.
"Our philosophy has been to
put in some parameters - like
Texas. 4nd Oklahoma playing in
the second league game - and go
from there," said Big 12 associ-
ate commissioner Tim Allen,
who handles football schedul-
ing.
"But there is a human ele-
ment. We saw where Oklahoma
and Kansas State played early
and understood there was a
chance for the loser to battle
back," added Allen.
And Allen kept the game
there. He won't say there was an
influence, but he remembers
other schools battling back into
contention after early losses.
Florida schools seem to under-
stand the process better than
anybody.
Twice in the previous three
seasons. Florida State lost in the
first half of the season and
wound up in the national title
game.
Here they are again. The
Seminoles are a demoralized
bunch after Saturday's stunning
32-point loss to a North
Carolina team that started the
season 0-3.
Bowden will tell the
Seminoles, or better yet, get
some of the seniors, to relate to
the team what happened in
1998. The circumstances are
strangely similar to Florida
State's current situation.
Then as now, it was the
Seminoles' second game oi. the
season. It vvas played in North
Carolina. The quarterback was
starting his second game.
Saturday, it was Chris Rix.
Four seasons ago, the quarter-
back vvas Chris Weinke. He
threw six interceptions in a loss
at North Carolina State. But
when the first Bowl
Championship Series national
title game was played in the
Fiesta Bowl, there was Florida
State matched against
Tennessee.
The Seminoles had 10 games
remaining on the schedule, won
them all, then got the right
teams to lose - UCLA and K-
State - on the final weekend, to
ensure its title shot.
Last season, Florida State fell
to Miami in its sixth game. But
by the season's end, the
Seminoles had jumped over the
Hurricanes in the BCS poll and
met Oklahoma for the champi-
onship.
The latest loss presents a
greater recovery challenge for
one simple reason: The
Seminoles plummeted in this
week's polls: to No. 18 by The
Associated Press and No. 15 by
the coaches.
In 1998, Florida State fell to
number 11 after the N.C. State
loss. Last year, the Seminoles
fell to sixth.
"We haven't been in this fix
for a long time," Bowden said.
Others have. In 1998 and
1999, the loser of the
Tennessee-Florida game ended
up in a BCS bowl. How? The
game, the Southeastern
Conference opener for both
schools, has been played on the
third Saturday of September.
In 1997, the Volunteers lost
their fifth straight game to the

Gators. Tennessee didn't lose
again, captured the division and
conference championships and
reached the Orange Bowl.
Florida's winning streak ended
the next season but the Gators
recovered enough to earn an at-
large spot in the BCS.
College football lost some of
its most attractive early-season
encounters when the Sept. 15
date was wiped out in the after-
math of the terrorist attacks.
Some of those games, like
Miami-Washington, Tennessee-
Florida and Florida State-
Georgia Tech have been moved
to the end of the season. The
final weekends will pack more
meaning than ever because the
losers have nowhere to go.

aid in increasing retention.
Our retention isn't bad, but it is
less than the retention rates
around the country and in the
other State System of Higher
Education Schools, said Dr.
Rashelle S. Karp, of the
Provosts/Academic Affairs
office.
"Clarion has a retention com-
mittee in place and
they are doing some
great things. There are
many pockets of activ-
ity on campus and we
are looking at the
whole process from
residence life to the
classroom because
they all impact upon
student success,' said
Dr. William Bailey, the
new dean of enroll-
ment management.
The purpose of the
roundtable discussions
is to gather students,
faculty and various
other staff members to
develop strategies
which may work for
retention, said Karp.
"We are very com-
mitted to admitting
students who are have
the potential to suc-
ceed," said Karp.
Karp especially
placed an emphasis on
wanting to have the
students present at the
meetings because any
decision made, direct-
ly affects them she
said.
Information for the
roundtable discussions
was taken from the
students during the
past two years through
questionnaires, sur-
veys and focus groups.
This year's incoming freshmen
were also questioned as to what
concerns they have about coming
to college Karp said.
According to study results,
mcoming freshmen were most
concerned with making new
friends, getting along with their
roommates and adjusting to the
residence halls.
Other concerns included being
homesick and obtaining good
grades.
The final two roundtable dis-
cussions have all been reserved
by faculty and staff members.
Select students also were invit-
ed to take part in the discussions.
"I felt that the roundtable dis-
cussions were very productive.
Each group came up with great
ideas and strategies for student
retention," said Carrie Lopuh,
senior communication major.
"Many departments were repre-
sented form the different colleges
and I was very excited that the
administration invited students to
join the discussions.
"I was honored to take part in
such an important area of focus
for Clarion University. I hope
that students are truly aware of
the fact that the administration,
faculty, and staff are concerned
with student needs and are work-
ing to make Clarion a better
place," Lopuh said.
The final roundtable discussion,
which is completely reserved,
will take place Oct. 19.
The results of the discussions
will be posted on the "University
Experience" website a week after
the final discussion.
Karp said the committee didn't
want to post the results until all
of the groups had participated.
This precaution was taken to
ensure original ideas at each
roundtable discussion.

United we stand
When waking up on Sunday
morning and turning on the
television, we were greeted
with news that the United
States was bombing
Afghanastan. Because of Sept.
11, 2001 and now because of
Oct. 7, 2001, the lives of
American and Afghan citizens
have been changed.
A discussion of all C^a^m Caff
staff members took place
Sunday at our Executive Board
meeting. The issues brought
into the discussion were quite
disturbing.
One of the issues that we dis-
cussed was the Talibian powers
over the women of Afganastan.
About five years ago the
Taliban stepped in and pulled
the women out of their jobs and
basically put them into hiding.
They must walk around com-
pletely covered from head to
toe. They also are not aloud to
talk in public or at their own
home. The men are completely
in charge and the women must
obey them. If they do not, they
are subject to punishment.
The second issue that we
addressed was about the actual
bombing that is taking place in
Afghanastan. We discussed the
fact that we might be bombing
them, but we are providing
them with food and medical
supplies.
Even though we are bombing
the Talibian, we are being
thoughtful and providing the
Afghan citizens with supplies
they are going to need.
Next we discussed the
changes that have taken place
in the United States.
There are certain movies that
are not permitted to be aired
right now because they have the
Twin Towers in the backround.
We never thought that is
would have come to this.
And David Letterman had to
change his backround do to the
terroristic attacks that took
place on September 11, 2001.
We never thought it would
come to that.
The last issue addressed was
how the Middle East students
were being escorted around
campus due to the attacks.
Different groups around cam-
pus such as fraternities and
sororities were called into a
meeting to discuss how they are
the leaders on campus and they
need to set a good example.
The events which have taken
place and are still unfolding,
can serve as learning devices to
help us grow individually as
well as a nation.

Your Views
Lifestyles Editor responds to criticism
Dear Mr. Hiltz,
I am writing in response to your
letter to the editor ("Reader voic-
es concern for music reviews and
CUP concerts") that was pub-
lished in last week's edition of f^e-
Cfar-ioH Caff. I hope to explain my
policies regarding my music
reviews, and why they are that
way.
The first point that you raise in
your letter concerns the obscurity
of the artists/bands that I choose
to review. Pick up any issue of
Rolling Stone, Spin, Vibe, Source
or any other reputable music pub-
lication, and on the cover, in the
articles and review you will see
the same groups showcased over
and over again.
For me to write and publish the
millionth review of the latest
Missy Elliot album would be
redundant and pointless.
If you want to read a review of
a Top 40 artist, there are plenty of
other outlets to pursue. I choose
to run my music section in much
the same manner as the traditional
independent college radio station.
That is, I choose to cover lesser-
known bands, artists on indepen-
dent and forward-thinking labels,
or bands on the cusp of breaking
into the mainstream.
I use my reviews to try and
introduce new, underground
music to fellow students who
might not ever hear of such bands,
as most people aren't exposed to
such like-minded publications
such as College Music Journal
{CM J) or the online 'zine
Pitchfork
(www.pitchforkmedia.com).
As a fellow former staff member
of the dearly departed WCCB-
AM station, I'm sure you can
understand why it's important to
not just "follow the leader" and
give coverage to artists who lack
funds and/or label support to get
press elsewhere.
If I were to publish music
reviews of the same crop of artists
that pop up in constant, endless
rotation on WCUC, where is the
point in that?
You've already heard of these
artists, listened to their music, and
formulated your own opinions on
them. For me, the whole point of
music criticism is not to simply
praise or trash an artist's latest
effort. Instead, the point is to be a
helpful guide in what the serious
music consumer might want to
spend their money on.
In short, I try to explain why
Linkin Park fans (shudder) might
find much to enjoy in At The '
Drive-in's music, and so on.
The second point you raise con-
cerns the diversity in my music
reviews. Let me begin by saying
that even the Lifestyles Editor
before me wanted to publish
reviews from R&B/hip-hop
groups, but faced the same prob-
lem that I myself am confronted
with: Neither one of us were able
to find someone with both the
extensive knowledge of the gen-
res coupled with the writing abili-
ty to craft truly comprehensive
reviews.
Previous submissions for hip-
hop artists centered around such
hollow statements such as "these
beats are good," an observation
every bit as unacceptable as
"those guitars really rock."
I know that you are every bit as
knowledgeable in the R&B/hip-
hop arena as I am in the
indie/alternative world.
Therefore, I welcome your offer
to write reviews of the genre with
open arms, provided that you
would want to cover lesser-known
artists/DJs such as Dilated
Peoples, Black Eyed Peas or
Jurassic 5; or more artistically-
minded artists along the lines of
OutKast, The Roots or Tribe
Called Quest.

How often do I
really stop to think
about the life I have
been given by my par-
ents. 99
-Susan Campbell
Editorial, Susan Campbell
Just as many other Americans
have spent many hours reflect-
ing since the Sept. 11 tragedy, I
too have been putting things into
perspective.
Watching the coverage on tele-
vision, I discover that the real
victims are those children who
have lost one or both of their
parents.
A certain train of thought caus-
es me to look deeper into my
own life. Even though I have not
directly been affected by what
happened, I realize how easy it
may be to have a parent ripped
out of my life.
I take this train of thought
deeper and think: How often do
I really look at my parents and
appreciate the things they have
done for me, or how often do I
really see the love they give me
on a daily basis?
Nineteen years ago, my par-
ents adopted me from Seoul,
South Korea. Because of them,
my life has been whole and
wonderful.
However, another question
arises: How often do I really
stop to think about the life I
have been given by my parents?
I remember one time in class,
we were asked to do a group
activity where we pretended we
had to decide on candidates for a
liver transplant.
Based on facts given to us, we
were to decide between a 20-
year-old alcoholic, a mother
with young children, and a
mother with children out of high
school.
The majority of the class chose
the mother with young children,
thinking about the children's
needs.
However, I feel that while
young children do need their
parents, older children our age
do also. The love and sacrifice a
parent gives to their child will
never be unnecessary.
I bring the subject up for this
reason. Many of us who are for-
tunate enough to still have one
or both of our parents should
stop and think about those who
do not.
Thousands of people lost one
or both of their parents due to
the tragedy. Even outside of this
tragedy, many children lose a
parent each day.
That saddens me because it has
made me realize how lucky I am
to have my parents still by my
side. It also saddens me that it
took a devastation of such level
to truly open my eyes.
My parents chose me. They
brought me into America, giving
me the chance to experience the
life they felt I deserved.
I think about how different my
life could be had they not adopt-
ed me.
And that makes me appreciate
even more what I have been
given from my parents and from
this country.

munication major.

We could no longer
disregard that we had
enemies and that we
could not be lax on
mundane safety
issues. 99
-Jeanne M. S lattery
Hyde Park, Jeanne M, Slattery
Over the last several weeks my
students and I have been talking
about the terrorist attacks.
Initially their conversations
were characterized by confusion,
anger and helplessness. Almost to
a student, they argued they would
always feel this way. While those
themes are still there, now other
themes are also present.
Recently my students' first
papers were due. I generally give
them significant freedom in what
they write about. Although I
shouldn't have been surprised by
their papers, I was.
About one-third talked about
their reactions to the Sept. 11
Attacks.
The issues they talked about
indicated their changing view-
points. Most of them started out
like this student's paper: "On
Sept. 11, 2001, I experienced the
worst tragedy of my life."
However, later in their papers
they began to talk about the ways
that their views of events had
begun to change and how they
had begun to find some meaning
in the midst of the pain.
One woman talked about our
country's lessons, saying we have
begun "to look at our country in a
different light.
We could no longer ignore that
we had weaknesses, we could no
longer allow our differences to
get in the way of helping our-
selves.
We could no longer disregard
that we had enemies and that we
could not be lax on mundane
safety issues.
We could no longer overlook
our neighbors as American too.
We could no longer forget the
words to our anthem, to our
pledge.
A student whose father flies for
one of the affected airlines wrote,
"I began looking at things in a
different light. I realized I needed
to step back and look at what was
important in my life, and how
deeply I appreciate it.
"On the outside, I don't believe
that I will ever be able to say any-
thing 'good' came out of this
experience, because in all reality,
nothing did. However, I learned
so much about myself, the
strength of my family..."
An international student talked
about our discussion the day of
the attacks.
The student said, "I was given
the chance to talk about how bad
it is to live with fear being so
close to you, having the enemy
next to you and being afraid for
your life and the lives of your
loved ones, knowing how it feels

to have people far away from
you, yet so close to you being
killed. That day I left class feel-
ing understood and accepted as
never before in the two and a
half years I have been in the
United States."
Finally, a woman talked about
optimism: "When beginning this
paper (before the attacks), I was
essentially of the opinion that the
'reframe' was a universal fit to
any and every psychological
problem, simply because it had
always gotten me through my
personal pain. Now, after an
undoubtedly horrible and life
altering experience, I have a
much deeper understanding of
the limits and implications of a
form of therapy that is wonderful
when used properly."
Some things are changeable. I
can change how I talk to my chil-
dren or how I handle stress.
When we can change the things
causing us problems, we should.
Victor FrankI, an existential
therapist who had been impris-
oned in Auschwitz, wrote about
our search for meaning when
faced with the terrible and
unchangeable.
He noted that he couldn't
change the fact that he was in
Auschwitz, but that people who
found a sense of meaning amidst
all of the pain were more likely
to survive than those who could
not.
None of us can erase the
attacks or the pain associated
with them. Even tht)ugh 1 am
trained to handle mental health
aspects of disasters for the
American Red Cross, they
received so many volunteers that
they didn't need my expertise.
Most of us cannot do much
more than donate money or
blood. Like my students, howev-
er, we can begin to find a tiny sil-
ver lining in this dark cloud.
Like them, we would never
wish the attacks to happen, but
given this, we can stop to think
about what is really important in
life.
We can take the time to think
about how we want to live and
make today a new beginning.

Gwilliml Editor responds to last week's letter to the editor,
from Page 2.
-ing yet another Snoop Dogg
review - it would be the same
as me writing a Creed review.
But I digress. ..back to diver-
sity.
Though my coverage has
been admittedly lacking in
R&B/hip-hop reviews, I have
touched many, many other
genres and sub-genres.
From folk to trip-hop, house
music (which IS a mainstay of
parties. ..Daft Punk gets fairly
regular rotation at the Loomis)
to indie-pop and art rock, I
have tried my best to never get
stagnant.
To someone with only a
passing interest in music, the
lines between the genres can
appear blurred, but just
because something does not fit
neatly into the R&B camp
does not make it "alternative,"
a term which is outdated at
this stage, anyway.
There are about as many
similarities between . a
Radiohead album and Living
End album as there are
between a Macy Gray and a
DMX album - hardly any at
all..
But since this is a debate
concerning a matter which is
almost purely aesthetic in
nature, we could debate back
and forth forever and not make
any progress.
As for the UAB concerts, I
couldn't agree with you more,
and wish there was something
I could do about it, but since
that is not my organization,
the only thing I can do is pray
that I won't have to suffer
through a Billy Joel concert
this semester.
I hope that I have explained
my actions succinctly.
Again, I extend my invita-
tion for you to write R&B/hip-
hop reviews, and look forward
to adding even greater diversi-
ty to the music reviews.
Sincerely,
Keith Gwillim, Lifestyles

University Speech and Debate
Team, progressed to the division
semifinals at the King's College
Tournament in Wilkes-Barre.
Clarion opened up their debate
sea.son at this tournament, which
is one of the largest tournaments
on the East Coast. Nearly 100
teams from 22 universities com-
peted on Sept. 21-22 at the
King's College Tournament.
Barnes and Rutherford
advanced after defeating teams
from John Carroll University,
Catholic University, Methodist
College, and the Naval Academy.
Next, they defeated Columbia
University in the quarterfinal
round before progressing to the
semifinal round.
Nicki Williams and Lisa Bria
competed in the novice division
and also moved to the elimina-
tion rounds. Bria placed as the
eighth speaker out of a field of
100 speakers. Williams placed
fourteenth. Bria and Williams
beat teams from West Point, Case
Western Reserve, and West
Virginia University.
Dr. Anand Rao, coach of the
debate team, and Jim Lyie, assis-
tant coach, accompanied the
team. Rao and Lyle both teach in
the speech communication and
theatre department. Rao felt the
team's first performance started
the season with a bang and will
help them advance in the nation-
al rankings.
Oct. 5-7 the Clarion Debate
Team traveled to the University
of Richmond Debate Tournament
in Richmond, Virginia. Clarion
was the only school to have
teams advance to the final round

Members of the Clarion Debate team recently traveled and
participated in the University ofRictimond Debate
Tournament in Rictimond, Va. These team members
advanced to the final rounds in all three divisions.
in all three divisions (varsity,
junior varsity, and novice).
The Richmond Debate
Tournament was the best show-
ing in over 15 years.
Williams and Bria competed in
novice, and were recognized as
the fourth and sixth speakers in a
field of 64. They advanced over
teams from Towson University,
Mary Washington College, and
West Virginia. The pair debated
West Point in the final round, los-
ing 2-1 in a close decision.
Rutherford and Barnes
advanced to the final round in
junior varsity after defeating
teams from Catholic University
and Methodist College.
Scott O'Donnell and Terrilyn
Cheatham qualified for the round
16 after defeating teams from
Catholic University, Liberty
University, and West Point.
O'Donnell and Cheatham then
advanced over teams from Mary
Washington College, West
Virginia University, and Liberty
University landing them in the
finals where they lost to the
University of Pittsburgh.
Richmond was O'Donnell and
Cheatham's first tournament of
the year.
Accompanying the team to
Richmond were Rao, Lyle, and
student researcher, Kim Kelly.
Lyle noted that several coaches
from other schools told him how
impressed they were with
Clarion's squad.
"With such a young team, (only
one member of this year's team,
O'Donnell, is a senior) there is
really no limit over the coming
years to what they will be able to
do with more experience and
support," Lyle said.
"This weekend's performance
was nothing less than awesome-
we have a friendly rivalry with
WVU, and I particularly enjoyed
winning a bet with their coach
after Clarion eliminated West
Virginia from the tournament
with semifinals wins," said Rao.
The debate team will be travel-
ing to Catholic University's tour-
nament in Washington, D.C. on

Clarion University to host Middle States preliminary site visit
by Shannon Sankey
Clarion University will
have its Middle States
Commission on Higher
Education preliminary site
visit on Oct. 14-15. Dr.
Catherine Gira, president of
Frostburg State University in
Maryland and Chair of the
Clarion University Middle
States Evaluation Team, will
visit Clarion to discuss
details relating to the
Evaluation Team campus
visit on March 14-17, 2002
and to make plans to facili-
tate the visit of the
Evaluation Team.
The Middle States
Commission on Higher
Education is a regional orga-
nization that accredits col-
leges and universities, and
then evaluates them for re-
accreditation every ten
years. Clarion University
will be evaluated for reaffir-
mation of its Middle States
accreditation in Spring 2002.
For its ten year Self-Study,
the Middle States Steering
Committee, which is a com-
mittee representing faculty,
adminstrators, staff, stu-
dents, and the Council of
Trusteess, decided to carry
out a comprehensive Self-
Study. This analysis covers
every aspect of Clarion
University, ranging from its
mission and goals to the
quality of student life.
A draft of the Self-Study
report will be distributed to
all of the university con-
stituencies later this semes-
ter and will be followed by
public hearings on this draft
in December. The final Self-
Study report will then be
sent to the Middle States
Commission on Higher
Education and the Evaluation
Team in February 2002.
Based on the Self-Study
report and their visit to the
campus, the Evaluation Team
will make a recommendation
to the Middle States
Commission on Higher
Education regarding the re-
accreditation of Clarion
University.
Dr. William Sharpe,
Professor of Chemistry and
Chair of Middle States
Steering Committee, highly
regards this re-accreditation
process. "This Self-Study
process is extremely impor-
tant," says Sharpe, "in that it
provides the university with
an opportunity to carry out
an internal study of all of its
programs and services to
insure that the university is
accomplishing its intended
mission and goals."

tation process, access

Clarion University Unites fundraiser is successful ^"^''^ ^^f®*^

• ••••'•■•••••<
Clarion University's Greeks
pulled together to raise money
for the victims of the Sept. 11
tragedies. Unity was the theme as
members from all chapters of the
sororities and fraternities on
campus set up tables and collect-
ed money that will be donated to
the Sept. 11 fund. The student
body, along with members of the
community, donated almost
$500, making the fundraiser a
huge success; however, the
fundraising is not over yet. All
sororities and fraternities have
been asked to donate money from
within their own chapters. The
final estimate is expected to be
nearly $1,500.
This fundraiser was not only an
effort by the Greeks of Clarion
University, but by all whom
showed their support and pride in
America by donating. Members
of the community actually parked
their vehicles and walked over to
a table set up along the sidewalk
outside of Founders Hall. It was a
success not only monetarily, but
it showed how great human spir-
it can actually be.
The goals of Clarion University
Unites, as the fundraiser was
appropriately titled, were to raise
money for the much needed aid
for those directly affected by last
month's terrorist attacks, and to
pull all of Greek life together
along with the rest of the student
body.
Hank Crawford, a junior com-
munication major and member of
the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity
said, "It was great to see the
entire campus helping out for
such a worthwhile cause."
The fundraiser consisted of
tables set up at various locations
across campus. Sororities and
fraternities were randomly
selected to sit at each of the
tables and collect donations from
the student body.
"I think it is wonderful that in a
time of crisis, all the fraternities,
sororities, and independents on
campus can come together to
raise funds," said Renee Irwin, a
senior communication science
disorders major and a member of
Alpha Sigma Tau.
Clarion University Unites was
co-sponsored by the Inter-frater-
nity council and the Panhellenic
Council. These two councils
oversee the running of all frater-
nities and sororities on campus.
By working with these two coun-
cils, the fundraiser truly was a
unifying event tying together
Greeks, students of Clarion
University, and the Clarion com-
munity. All dontations will be
sent to help the victims, sur-
vivors, and families of those
affected by the events of Sept.
11.

The upcoming speakers for the
Clarion University of Pennsylvania
Center for Natural Resources and
Environment are preparing for the
Fall 2001 seminar series. It will cover
a broad variety of topics to inform
people of different national and local
environmental issues.
The Center wishes to provide the
information on environmental issues
that effect the region, promote higher
learning on these issues, and focus
interest on the univea^ity's environ-
mental programs.
"A lot of people don't realize the
environmental issue complaint in that
area," said Dr. Patrick McGreevy,
chair of the anthropology, geography,
and earth sciences departments, as he
referred to his past trip to Hungary.
McGreevy spent one year there learn-
ing about the environmental issues of
that region.
Another speaker is Dr. Patricia
Kennedy, award winner of the
Science Communication Interest
Group and professor of the communi-
cation department. She thinks it is a
great idea to include the media as an
environmental issue.
"Less than one percent of television
or news is about environment," she
said. "And that is usually not proenvi-
ronment."
The seminars are to make people
environmentally aware of the world.
Anybody may attend one or all of the
following themes:
"The Significance of Special Studies
in Long-Temi Biological Monitoring
Programs" with Dr. Arthur J. Stewart,
Oct. 11, at 4 p.m. in 125 Harvey Hall.
Stewart is involved in the environ-
mental sciences division of Oak
Ridge National Laboratory,
Tennessee.
"Stable and Unstable States in a
System Controlled by Positive
Feedback: Impliction for the Tropical
Rainforest Ecosystem" with Dr. John
Alcock, Oct. 18, 4 p.m. in 125 1-Iarvey
Hall. Alcock is a member of the envi-
ronmental sciences program at Penn
State University, Abington College.
"Environment and Society in Post-
Communist Central Europe" with
McGreevy, Oct. 25, at iioon in 249
Peirce Science Center.
"Monitoring Zebra Mussel Invasion
in the Edinboro Lake Watershed"
with Dr. Laurie Parendes, professor of
geosciences at Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania, Nov. 5, noon in 249

Investigations of the Upper Allegheny
River" with Dr. Susan Prezanno,

Clarion University students
will help keep up a tradition of
community outreach this year
and next. These five students
will assist younger students at
the Christian Life Skills
Incorporated in Pittsburgh.
They plan on making full day
visits from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on
Oct. 13. Nov. 3, 2001, Feb. 2,
March 16, and April 16, 2002.
These Clarion University stu-
dents are Latisha Jones, a
sophomore communication
major; Renee Porter, a sopho-
more history major; Marcel
Holyfield, a sophomore special
education major; Christina
Stoudmire, a sophomore man-
agement major; and Ian
Wingfield, a junior rehabilita-
tion science major.
Paired up with younger stu-
dents, they act as mentors and
increase enthusiasm in commu-
nity projects.
Rogers Laugand, director of
Minority Services, supervises
the project. He predicts an
increase of student volunteers.
"Many Clarion Students start
in this program as freshmen and
continue throughout college.
They enjoy working with young
people, and it is refreshing for
them to have an opportunity to
leave campus and do some
good. Many of them are from
Pittsburgh, so this is the chance
for them to return something to
their community," said
Laugand.
Clarion students are known
for consistently helping with
the Christian Life Skills
Incorporated, operated through
the Church of God in East
Liberty, Pittsburgh.

started in 1994.
"I anticipate a great year.'
says Barbara Rogers, executive
director of Christian Life
Skills. "There is an outstanding
core of students from Clarion
University who have participat-
ed in Christian Life Skills pro-
grams since they were fresh-
men. I am delighted that they
take the time away from studies
and social opportunities to
spend time with us and make a
contribution to the community."
The Clarion University stu-
dents assist with the younger
students to accomplish "rites of
passage" requirements. This
includes spiritual direction,
developing goals for the future,
learning to express thoughts
and feelings, challenges of
addiction, and determining per-
sonal values.
Rogers feels that the Clarion
University students act as role
models and have a significant
impact on the children. These
students also represent a true
story and act as mentors. They
demonstrate how one can turn
to God when times are rough.
"Our students focus on men-
toring from a Christian perspec-
tive and develop life skills,"
says Laugand. These skills may
include subjects such as money
management, job skills, and
finding talents to help them
reach their goals.
"This is a program I believe
in, and that is why I participate
in it. Many students here at
Clarion also find it worthwhile
enough to want to do it on a
regular basis. We are focusing
on black communities and
many of these volunteers come
from the same background, but
we have grown distant from
this community since coming to
college. They are the same indi-
vidually, but with broadened
horizons. The only way to sur-
vival as a community is to grow
together. If we come together
collectively, we can succeed
together and branch out to the
larger community," says
Laugand.

ol the speech, communication,
and theatre department. This
program provided information
on the interviewing process.

manners and mannerisms, and
lastly following up after the
interview.
Bryan Plummer said, "I
found these sessions to be
refreshing and informative to
further the development of my
professional career."
There were approximately 70
people in attendence on this
topic.
"Interviewing skills are an
integral part of the job appli-
cation process. Dr. Myrna
Kuehn presented this portion
of the Professional
Development Series superbly,"
stated by Rachael Foflygen,
the coordinator of the pro-
gram. "The Professional
Development Series offers stu-
dents information and
resources that the majority of
our university classes do not.
By attending these sessions, it
has eased my apprehension
about graduation and entering
my career," stated by Rachel
Thompson.

Jump Start program established at Venango Campus
Courtesy of University
Relations
Ten high school age students in
Venango County will have an
early chance to start their college
education through the newly
established program. Jump Start.
During the 2001-02 academic
year, the selected college bound
students in grades 10-12, will
have an opportunity to take cours-
es at Venango Campus, Oil City,
or Clarion University of
Pennsylvania.
Historically, there have been
many regulations at the university
as well as the high schools that
would deter high achieving acad-
emic high school students from
taking college courses while
enrolled in high school. Jump
Start is a university program at
Venango Campus that has been
developed in collaboration with
area high schools. It would by-
pass many of the restrictive poli-
cies of both institutions and per-
mit high school students in the
academic track to take university
courses while attending high
school.
Jump Start enables academical-
ly qualified students to take up to
nin credits of college courses dur-
ing the academic semesters.
Besides taking courses during the
academic year, they may take
summer courses as part of this
program. Qualified students in
tenth grade who wish to take col-
lege courses throughout their high
school experience could possibly
earn 66 college credits by the time
they graduate from high school.
The 2001-02 Jump Start partici-
pants include seven students from
Venango Christian High School,
Oil City, two from Oil City High
School, and one home school stu-
dent. These students meet the aca-
demic requirements of a 3.0 or
higher grade point average and
were recommended by their guid-
ance counselors.
The Samuel A. Justus Trust
funded a grant to assist income
eligible students with tuition and
fees. Venango Campus is provid-
ing each of these students with
$50 toward books.
Their college courses were
selected according to the high
school class schedule of the qual-
ified students' remaining academ-
ic high school courses. During
periods of study hall/free time,
these students have permission to
leave their high school and go to
Venango Campus for their class.
The participating students
include: Jessica Baker and Angela
Elliston, from Oil City High
School; Mary Drayer, Corry
Eisenman, Rachel Nelson,
Matthew Schreckengost,
Jacqueline Schwabenbauer, Lisa
Solle, and Dorothy Wolber, from
Venango Catholic High School;
and Lacey Hotchkiss, from home
school.

Council of Trustees discusses Clarion University Venango Campus
Courtesy of University
Relations
A rebirth of Clarion
University Venango Campus
(CU-VC) was discussed at
the regular meeting of the
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania Council of
Trustees held here Thursday
night.
"Our enrollment at
Venango has shown a steady
growth," said Provost Joe
Grunenwald.
"It went from a low of 371
to 410 last year and 481 this
year."
Grunenwald also detailed a
reorganization plan that is
looking at procedural
changes that will enhance
the vitality of Venango.
The search for a new exec-
utive dean continues,
according to Grunenwald,
with the university having a
strong desire to hire some-
one who will make things
happen at Venango and be a
part of the community.
Dr. Audean Duespohl,
interim executive dean of
CU-VC. also pointed to the
numerous accomplishments
over the past year. Venango
has also launched the cele-
bration of its 40th anniver-
sary, marking the birth of
the first branch campus in
the State System of Higher
Education.
Increased visibility for
CU-VC was achieved
through many activities such
as media relations, increased
advertising, and other pro-
motions.
Venango also launched
many new programs, such as
Senior Net, Kids in College,
Jump Start, PACCA-
TEACH, Summer Graduate
Academy, and an expanded
Masters of Science in
Nursing Program.
According to Duespohl, an
early childhood program is
now in place that allows stu-
dents to complete an associ-
ate's degree or the first two
years of a baccalaureate
degree at Clarion.
The first two years of the
following baccalaureate pro-
grams are also available at
Venango: business, psychol-
ogy, and rehabilitative sci-
ences.
Paul Bylaska, vice presi-
dent for finance and admin-
istration, briefly outlined
the 2001-02 annual budget
that trustees unanimously
approved for submission to
the State System.
Bylaska noted the $62.44
million Education & General
(E&G) Budget includes a
$1.3 million shortfall. A
plan to meet the shortfall has
been developed that includes
reallocations and continual
review of personnel vacan-
cies.
Any savings in wages will
come through normal attri-
tion and review of vacan-
cies.
Moratorium Trustees
approved a moratorium for
the associate degree in occu-
pational therapy because of
declining enrollments due to
changes in the focus of fund-
ing provided by government
agencies for students
enrolled in this degree.

Theatre Review
A second look at the immensly popular Rocky Horror
by Amy Thompson
Clarion Call Editor-In-Chief
The Clarion University Theatre
department presented Richard
O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show
very well despite O'Brien's weak
plotline that unravels in the second
act. Before I explain my dislike of
the direction O'Brien takes in Act
2, let me again stress that the cast
does a wonderful job of perform-
ing such a risque' piece of work. I
was a "virgin" (as the cast so
pointed out), before viewing the
production Saturday night,
October 6.
The plot is put into motion by a
As the plot continued, I assumed
it was going to lead you into some
sort of theory concerning sexual
power or identity, but the plot
turns to aliens. As for the alien
leaders who emerge, the audience
came to know them as Riff-Raff,
played by Professor Robert
Bullington, and Riff-Raff's sister,
Magenta, played by Miranda
Scopel. The plot is reminiscent of
such works that are highly drug-
influenced, like LSD in Alice In
Wonderland.
Despite the plot, Marilouise
Michel wisely directed the pro-
duction. Since the Little Theatre
is a relatively small venue, the
wouln't have recognized him,
decked out in his garter belts and
trashy negligee. Southworth is not
only theatrically superior in facial
expressions and movements, but
musically superior as well. No
one could have sung "Sweet
Transvestite" with quite as much
feeling, pun very much intended.
Danielle Garmen utilized some
of the funniest facial expressions
in her portrayal of Columbia,
requiring her to be a bimbo with a
squeaky voice. Garmen also had
the opportunity to show off her
dancing capabilities with a tap
number.
The greatest surprise of the cast
had to be the role of the narrator,
played by Dr. Brian Dunn. The
seemingly reserved history profes-
sor shocked the audience with sev-
eral sexual comments.
Speaking of comments, the audi-
ence very much had a role in this
production. Audience members
and the stage crew would belt out
crude comments, which always fit
into something the actor or actress
was saying at the time, to suggest
sexual innuendoes.
The costumes and make-up of
this show is really what served to
set the tone from the moment you
walked into the door. Everyone's
make-up was done similar to
Mimi on The Drew Carey Show.
The make-up combined with the
trashy costuming made one feel as
though they were in a brothel. My
favorite costume was worn by Bob
Goodrich, who played one of the
ghouls. Dressed as a woman,
Goodrich sported a red bee-hive
wig, horn-rimmed glasses and a
lacey purple dress.
Props also served an important
role. My favorite prop of the
entire show, which I felt worked
well with the trashy atmosphere.

Rocky Horrorl A review of CUP's latest theatre production,
from Page 9.
wasn't a high budget prop, but its lack of a hood and being able to see the
stage hands pushing it out onto stage was amusing. Anything more
expensive would have belied the "cheap" atmosphere.
Laura Crago served as the choreographer for the production. The danc-
ing didn't seem as though it was technically difficult, but it was appro-
J priate for each cast member. This cast seemed to be especially diverse in
body shapes and heights, so having moves that can be executed by every-
one was important.
The downside to this show is that the theatre department probably could
have filled the Marwick-Boyd Fine Arts Auditorium, as the crowds lined
up early each and every night to try to get "first come, first served" tick-
ets. However, the Little Theatre created a homier atmosphere, vyhich can
be lost in a greater venue. I also believe the audience participation may
have dwindled if the audience members felt they weren't being heard by
the cast.
There is no question what the most memorable aspect of this produc-
tion was. The riskiest scenes in which Frank N. Furter seduce Janet fol-
lowed by Brad received gasps from even "non-virgins." For those who
had seen the show before, the anticipation of how it was to be handled
properly kept them from wondering. For a "virgin," nothing can really
prepare you for the scenes. I believe the "shadows on the sheet" idea was
a clever way of disguising Frank N. Furter and keeping the actors clothed.
I only wish the second act was stronger, because this cast deserved to
have a consistent piece of work from beginning to end.

Gorillaz ape ^cartoon band concept' at every turn

wrong. ..not quite so.
It's hard to tell if Albarn and
Howlett were trying their best
to create a Josie and the
Pussycats for the 21st century,
or just got a little too baked one
night and thought they'd have a
laugh or two at their fans'
expense. When the two major
elements of the Gorillaz (visu-
Stereotype A, Handsome Boy
Modeling School's debut.
So here's the eternal question
- which came first? The car-
toon or the music? With the
Gorillaz, you're never really
sure of that, and more impor-
tantly, if the joke's on you.
The brainchild of former flat-
mates Damon Albarn (Blur)
and Liam Howlett (creator of
Tank Girl), Gorillaz is just a
fake band. No, really - fake in
that they don't even exist in
real life, not fake in the prefab-
ricated MTV sort of way. All
the group's members have their
own animated alter-egos, and
exist in this shadowy nether-
world.
To help them on their way,
Albarn and Howlett enlisted
the help of many high-profile
musicians, including under-
ground hip-hop stalwarts Del
Tha Funkee Homosapian, and
Dan "The Automator"
Nakamura. Also along for the
ride is Cibo Matto's Miho
Hatori and the Tom Tom Club's
Tina Weymouth. With such an
all-star lineup, it would seem
that Gorillaz could do no
als and music) are combined,
such as their highly interactive
website (www.gorillaz.com) or
their slick animated videos, the
end result is a wonderfully
tongue-in-cheek good time.
But part of being in a truly
multimedia entity is to release
an album, and this crucial
aspect is where the Gorillaz
stumble.
Consisting of a wildly eclec-
tic (and unfortunately uneven)
mix of Blur's cheeky brand of
british pop, lacadasial rap beats
and a grab-bag of production
styles (The Automator is one
member who doesn't slack off
at all), Gorillaz can hit with the
force of a 400 lb. ape. The
problem is that they more often
slip up than hit the mark.
When the Gorillaz are on, it
makes for excellent art-school
funk; every bit as cerebral as it
is groovy. "Re-Hash" is any-
thing but; a compelling chunk
of acid-fried blues riffs mixed
with a sprinkling of sing-along
choruses and 80s synth-pop
whimsy. The awkward and
clunky "5/4" works in spite of
(or perhaps because of) its
amateurish execution. The
"zombie hip-hop" of "Clint
Eastwood" is the obvious high-
light, but faces competition
from worthy adversaries such
as the moog-flavored "19-
2000" and the fierce head-bob-
ber "Ml Al."
Songwriting is the ultimate
soft spot in the Gorillaz' armor,
a surprising flaw for a group
that names one of the past
decade's sharpest tunesmiths
(Albarn) in their ranks. Tracks
such as "Punk," which is any-
thing but, and the meandering
"Double Bass" go absolutely
nowhere; simply stewing in
their abject failure.
Particularly offensive is "Latin
Simone," which features the
overly pontificating guest
vocals of Ibrahim Ferrer. Seek
out the Ferrer-less version on
the Tomorrow Comes Today EP,
which has Albarn singing
instead, which suits the song
much better.
More often, though, the
Gorillaz' ideas just seem half-
baked, another big surprise
given Albarn's highly publi-
cized over-indulgence in leafy
green substances. "New
Genius," "Slow Country" and
others bristle with not-quite-
tapped promise, jerking about
like a half-wound wind-up toy.
You get the sense that with just
a little bit of tweaking, this
could have been an exceptional
sidebar the careers of all
involved, instead of just a
mildly entertaining wank-fest.
Albarn, the master of the
laconic drawl, has that vocal
style down to an art form on
this album, turning the tracks
where he takes solo vocal
duties into one big clam-bake,
and while that's worked for
him in the past, I don't mean it
in a complementary fashion
this time. The Gorillaz original
intent becomes hard to perceive
though the haze. It does occa-
sionally work, such as in the
trip-hop daze of "Tomorrow
Comes Today" or "Clint
Eastwood," where Albarn sere-
nades his "sunshine in a bag."
Del Tha Funkee Homosapian
is grossly underused here, only
popping up to show his distinc-
tive flow on "Clint Eastwood"
and "Rock The House." His
smooth yet kinetic rhymes are a
perfect counterpoint to
Albarn's slacker croon, provid-
ing the album with a "let's
party" vibe. And considering
that the Gorillaz are a cartoon,
isn't that what it's all supposed
to be about?
Sonically, Gorillaz isn't
much different from Blur's
1999 opus, 13. Spaced-out
vocals, druggy rhythms and
synths can be found in every
song, and each track adopts a
different genre, style or
approach. Gorillaz presents a
watered-down, less-experimen-
tal and more radio-friendly
spin on that formula.
There are no 7-minute gospel
chants followed by abrasive
noise guitar attacks (Blur's
Graham Coxon is sorely missed
here. ..proof positive that Blur's
sum is greater than that of its
parts), just short little pop dit-
ties, one right after another.
Which is all part of the con-
cept, I suppose; it IS just a car-
toon after all. But I seem to
remember the Saturday morn-
ings of my youth being more
fun than this. Make another
Blur record, Damon. 2 1/2 out
of 5 stars.

is grossly underused here, only
popping up to show his distinc-
tive flow on "Clint Eastwood"
and "Rock The House." His
smooth yet kinetic rhymes are a
perfect counterpoint to
Albarn's slacker croon, provid-
ing the album with a "let's
party" vibe. And considering
that the (lorillaz are a cartoon,
isn't that uhal it's all supposed
to be about .'
Sonically. Gorillaz isn't
much different from Blur's
1999 opus. /.?. Spaced-out
vocals, druggy rhythms and
synths can be found in every
song, and each track adopts a
different genre, style or
approach. Gorillaz presents a
watered-down, less-experimen-
tal and more radio-friendly
spin on that formula.
There are no 7-minute gospel
chants fi)llowed by abrasive
noise guitar attacks (Blur's
Graham Coxon is sorely missed
here. ..proof positive that Blur's
sum is greater than that of its
parts), just short little pop dit-
ties, one right after another.
Which IS all part of the con-
cept. I suppose; It IS just a car-
toon after all. But I seem to
remember the Saturday morn-
ings of my youth being more
fun than this. Make another
Blur record, Damon. 2 1/2 out
of 5 stars.

Clarion travels to Edinboro for showdown
Courtesy of Sports
Information
Fresh of two impressive home
victories, the Golden Eagles look
to keep their PSAC-West hopes
alive this Saturday as Clarion
travels to Edinboro for a key
divisional game. Kickoff at the
Boro's Sox Harrison Stadium is
set for 2p.m. and will serve as
the Homecoming Game for the
Fighting Scots.
Clarion, under eighth year head
coach Malen Luke, is coming off
its top two performances of the
season, both in the friendly con-
fines of Memorial Stadium. Two
weeks ago Clarion knocked off
Kutztown (36-7) who was
ranked seventh in the Region and
seventeenth in the nation in sev-
eral polls. Last Saturday, the
Eagles edged previously unde-
feated California (29-22), who
was ranked sixth in the East
Region.
Clarion enters the game with a
3-3 overall record and a 1-1 mark
in the PSAC-West. All three
losses have come on the road
versus East Stroudsburg (33-27),
Div. I-AA Youngstown State (44-
0) and Shippensburg (34-29).
The other home win was a 27-14
victory over Tiffin. Coach Luke

enters the game with a 40-42
record at Clarion, and a 14-year
coaching record of 77-63. His
PSAC-West mark is 21-23.
Edinboro, under second year
head coach Lou Tepper, is also
still in the PSAC-West hunt with
a 2-1 league mark and a 3-2
overall record. The Scots opened
2001 with a 27-9 loss at Ashland,
then defeated Gannon 37-21 and
Slippery Rock 14-7, lost at
California 34-24, but bounced
back to defeat Lock Haven 23-3
last Saturday. Tapper's two year
Edinboro record is 8-8, and his
PSAC-West mark is 4-5.
Including his five years as head
coach at Illinois, Tepper has a
collegiate record of 33-39-2.
In the history between the two
schools. Clarion leads the series
37-32-2 dating back to 1926. In
the last ten meetings, Edinboro
leads 6-4. Clarion won last year's
"Defensive" game 7-0, while in
1999 Edinboro scored a touch-
down with 1:08 left in the game
to win 30-29. That touchdown
came on an eight-yard pass from
Jack Davis to Chris Buehner.
Clarion's last win at Edinboro
came in 1994, Luke's first sea-
son. The Eagles won 24-20 on an
18-yard touchdown pass from
Craig Ray to Marlon Worthy on
third and goal with 18 seconds
left in the game.
Clarion enters the game aver-
aging 336.2 yards of total

Last Saturday, The Golden
Eagle cross country teams com-
peted with some of the top
schools around, including Penn
State. Bucknell. Villanova,
Haverford, and the University of
Pennsylvania. Both mens and
womens teams placed 33rd out
39 teams.
The competetion was intense
with some of the best runners in
the state going for the racing
against the Golden Eagles.
The womens team was lead by
Jen Boerner with a 95th finish
out of 269 runners. Boerner was
followed by Melissa
Terwillinger in 140th and Katie
Szafran in 180th.
The hot legs award goes to
Sarah Rodgers for having an
excellent race and moving up to
the sixth runner on the womens
team.
The mens team was lead by
captain, Ean King with a 155th
place out of 274 runners. King
was followed by Dave
Durianick in 170th and A.J.
Mayernik in 190th.
The hot legs award for the mens
team goes to Gerry Smith for his
excellent running on Saturday as
well as for the improvements he
has made in previous meets.
The womens team still needs
to improve as they continue
their season. This weekend they
have another tough race as they
travel to Duquesne.
Captain, Wendy Kengor was
not able to come to the meet and
the team looks forward to hav-
ing her return this weekend at
Duquesne. The women will real-
ly have to step it up this week-
end if they hope to place well at
the meet.
The mens pack (top five run-
ners) were all withm a minute of
each other. This is an accom-
plishment in itself since it elim-
inates the possibilities of other
teams beating individuals out of
a top place. The men hope to add
a few to the pack and move up
during the meet at Duquesne.
This meet was, by far,
Clarion's most competitive meet
of the season, which tends to be
a real eye opener for the fresh-
men. Now that they have some
experience with big meets,
hopefuly they will be able to run
smarter races at Duquesne.
Thier goal meets of the season
will be PSAC's and Regionals.

Golden Eagle golfers take fifth
overall at WVIAC tournament
by Danielle Foote
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The Clarion university golf team
attended the W.V.I.A.C. Regional
Championship Tournament at the
Canaan Valley Resort in West
Virginia last week. The mens
team finished an impressive fifth
overall out of 15 competing
teams.
Five starters were selected based
on averages to represent Clarion
in the competition. Par for this
course was set at a challenging,
72. Senior, Anthony Tacconelli,
attended the tournament and
finised the event with a combined
score of 144. Matt Guyton, filling
the number two spot on the team,
finished with a score of 147.
Guyton took an impressive fifth
place overall finish for the event.
His average is 72.3.
The remaining players, David
Lichina, Ryan Peffer, and Matt
Biddington contributed to the
team's final score of 601. Lichina
earned a first place finish on the
first day of the event while
Guyton mirrored this on the sec-
ond day.
Clarion and Millersville were
the only two teams from
Pennsylvania competing in the
tournament. Charlestown
University took the official title,
but the Golden Eagles weren't far
behind.
The golfers, once again, had to
fight against some unfavorable
conditions.
"It was very windy and the pins
seemed to be placed, in difficult
positions," said Peffer. "This lead
to a higher overall scoring aver-
age than usual."
As a whole, the team did very
well overall and look forward to
the spring sea.son.
"We did well in the rankings
which will help out with the
NCAA championships in the
spring," said Lichina.

Information
The Golden Eagles womens
tennis team took to the courts on
Monday, October 8, to battle
Edinboro University.
In the singles tournament.
Juniors Erin Glatz and Brandy
Vukich led the team as they both
smashed their competition,
coming out victorious. Junior
Cara Bobish came up just shy of
a victory after a very competi-
tive and grueling third set. It
was the only singles match that
day that required three sets to be
played.
In the doubles tournament,
the women came up just short of
a sweep as teams of Cara
Bobish and Erin Glatz as well as
sisters Brooke Vukich and
Brandy Vukich won their
matches, followed by a near loss
by teammates Rebecca Emert
and Janet Irvin.
"The doubles matches were
very close and competitive. We
played much better than we did
against Slippery Rock. Overall
we are playing better as a team",
stated Brandy Vukich.
Although fall is not the main
season for tennis, the girls have
been working hard in order to
prepare for the spring. With a
new head coach, Scott
Wonsetller, new uniforms and a
new ball machine, this team car-
ries a lot of enthusiasm and
determination into the spring
season.
"There is a lot of talent on the
team, but after losing two play-
ers we had to make some adjust-
ments in the line up. Overall, 1
feel we are getting stronger and
stronger as the season progress-
es. We are working hard and
looking forward to a successful
spring season," said Brooke
Vukich.
The womens tennis team con-
cludes their fall season this
Saturday as they challenge lUP

Clarion University takes precautions
by Amy A. Thompson
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief
Clarion University has been react-
ing to recent local and national inci-
dents by circulating guidelines for
the CUP community to follow in
case of anthrax and bomb scares.
"We have been extremely fortunate
that the university has not been expe-
riencing any of these problems, but
the university has taken steps to be
better prepared in the event that our
community would fall victim to
these kinds of crime," said David
Tedjeske, director of Public Safety.
Anthrax precautions
Tedjeske sent out a memo outlin-
ing suspicious indicators or charac-
teristics a package or letter may
have. According to Tedjeske, some
of the indicators are:
♦excessive postage.
♦hand written or poorly typed
addresses.
♦misspelling of common words.
♦restrictive markings such as
"Confidential" or 'Personal"
♦excessive weight and/or a feel of a
powdery substance.
♦excessive tape or string.
♦oily stains, discoloration, or crystal-
ization on the wrapper.
♦strange odor.
♦letter is rigid or bulky.
♦addressed to a title only, or an
incorrect title,
♦uneven packaging.
"If you receive a letter or note
threatening Anthrax contamination,
relax and remain calm," said
Tedjeske.
Every situation must be treated as
though it is real, but a hoax is a pos-
sibility, he said.

When I was 11 years old, I experienced some-
thing that changed my life forever. In Nov.
1991, my mother died of breast cancer.
I thought my heart was broken forever, and I
would never heal. I didn't understand how
someone so young and beautiful could suffer the
way she did.
I watched her for three years go in and out of
the hospital for radiation and chemotherapy
treatments. I watched as her thick, gorgeous hair
slowly fell out until she was forced to wear a
wig.
Worst of all, I watched as the medication made
her so delirious that at times she didn't recognize
me.
When my mom was first diagnosed, she had to
have one of her breasts removed in order to start
the initial treatments.
She suffered through treatments and medica-
tion for two years and then went into remission.
At that point, I thought that we had saved her
and the worst was over I was wrong.
One year later, the doctors detected a lump in
the other breast, and it was too late. They told us
it was just a matter of time.
My mom decided to stay at home. I watched,
day after day, as she continually got worse. Her
mouth and lips were coated in blue from the
medication, and she couldn't even function by
herself.
I left one night to get away from it all, and
when I got back home she had been taken to the
hospital. She died the next morning, and I never
got to say goodbye.
My dad had told me that her last wish was to
see snow. When the ambulance came to take her
to the hospital, it started to snow. Her last wish
was granted, and she was able leave this world
peacefully.
My mom was one of the most wonderful peo-
ple I have ever known. I died inside the day of
her funeral. I never thought my first ride in a
limosine would be on the way to bury my mom
It rained that day, and someone told me it meant
the angels were crying with me.
1 wish others could have known how wonder-
ful she was, but most of all I wish every day that
I would have had a chance to know her better as
well. I wish my brother, who is two years
younger, would have been able to understand
what was happening to our lives and to our fam-
ily.
Even ten years later, the pain doesn't get any
easier, nor does it ever go away. It's hard to
know that someday I might be afflicted with
breast cancer, and all I can do is pray and have
faith in the medical field and all of their
advancements.
I have seen first-hand what this disease does.
See *Breast Cancer' Page 7
taminated, you are to place ii in the
area you first read it. One is then sup
px)sed to minimize their exposure to
others and allow Public Safety to
come to you.
Also you are not to let others into
the area of the package or letter and
do not pass the suspicious material to
someone else.
"Exposure does not mean that you
will become sick. Public Health
responders will provide specific
information and instructions about
the symptoms and effective treat-
ment to prevent illness," said
Tedjeske.
Bomb precautions
Bloomsburg University experi-
enced its second bomb threat
Tuesday, Oct. 9. As a result, all of the
students and faculty were told to
leave the campus and come back
Monday, Oct. 15.
Clarion University released tele-
phone procedures if someone should
call in a threat.
According to the bomb threat
checklist, the recipient of the call is
supposed to ask the caller a series of
questions, including:
♦When is the bomb going to
explode?
♦Where is it right now?
♦What does it look like?
♦What kind of bomb is it?
♦What will cause it to explode?
♦Did you place the bomb? If so,
why?
♦What is your address?
♦What is your name?
♦Where are you now?
The recipient of the call also is
supposed to look for certain qualities
in the caller's voice, such as accents
and lisps. One also is to listen for
background sounds such as animal
sounds and office machines.
If a bomb threat is received in
another way, you are to report the
incident to Public Safety at 393-
2111.
"Given the status of world affairs,
I felt it was prudent to give an advi-
sory," said Tedjeske.

at 7^ (^/a^/(fK Ca& think it is an
important issue to take the time to
discuss.
When examining the is^ue at
hand, many interesting facts were
brought to our attention.
Different organizations around
campus raise money for the fight
against breast cancer. We didn't
reahze how much organizations
here at Clarion University did
fight for this cause.
We also noted how many people
are wearing pink ribbons to show
support for 'Br'edst Cancer. We
think it is great that students are
showing their support during the
month.
Another issue we raised was
how much Rosie O'Donnell does
to help raise money because her
mother died of breast cancer when
Rosie was young.
We think it is wonderful; even
though she is a famous person she
takes the time to help others who
are fighting the illness. She also
helps to prevent the illness.
Next we talked about how we
believe some people are too stub-
born to get checked. We believe
they don't want to take the chance
for fear they might have to deal
with this illness.
It is far better to get checked and
deal with it than to wait and have
it be too late.
We also brought up the issue that
men need to get checked for
breast cancer. We know it sounds
unlikely, but it is proven that men
can get it, and they need to be
screened.
There are 1 ,400 cases of breast
cancer found in men each and
every year.
Last we discussed breast cancer
in other countries.
In China, women do not get
checked because having cancer is
sign of weakness.
We couldn't believe a society
would actually believe their
women were weak for beina
afflicted with something com-
pletely out of their hands.
Each year more than 180,000
new cases of breast cancer are
diagnosed in the United States. It
is the second leading cause of can-
cer in the west.
Out of the 1 80,000 cases that are
found. 46,000 of those men or
women will die from this devistat-
ing disease.
We at TU Ciof-ioK Cafi wanted to
make everyone at Clarion
University know it was Breast
Cancer Awareness Month.
This is a serious illness, so
everyone at CU go out and get
checked.

Your Views
Reader expresses media disapproval
Dear Editor,
The tag-along media, espe-
cially the television, bombards
us constantly with a single
message.
They falsely assume their
function is to champion and
sell us a one-sided view <)i
George Bush's war.
We are given no background,
history, or alternatives.
Their presentations are vacu-
ums which allow no questions,
differing views, or dissent.
Worse yet. they would have
you believe there are none.
Furthermore, our screens are
swamped each and every day
with the voices and pro-war
messages of George W. and his
cabinet officials.
Historian Chalmers Johnson
wrote for The Nation that "the
assassins of September 1 1 did
not 'attack America' as our
political leaders and the media
maintain. They attacked
American foreign policy."
He added "Bush and others
told us we were attacked
because we are a 'beacon for
freedom' and the attackers
were 'evil."
That jargon is not only disin-
genuous but also a way of
evadmg responsibility for the
blow back that America's
imperial projects have generat-
ed."
The Progressive briefly doc-
uments Johnson's conclusions.

It refers to the fact that "The
United States does not have
clean hands in the world. The
history of the last fifty years in
the history of US. war and
repression in one Third World
country after another."
They note that "It is not an
exaggeration to say that the
United States has acted as a
terrorist from Guatemala to
Iran, from El Salvador to
Vietnam, from Chile to
Indonesia. And today it still
acts as a terrorist in Iraq and
supports acts of terror by its
allies, Israel and Columbia."
The media and the
Administration has carefully
avoided telling us of other
threats. They lurk in the
silence, however.
At least five of the involved
or neighboring nations have
nuclear weapons, and there are
no guarantees where any mili-
tary action might lead.
There is another serious dan-
ger. Our obsession with Iraq is
a dangerous hazard which may
very well ultimately lead to a
more traditional and costly
war.
There are subtle hints that the
"war on terrorism" will serve
as an excuse to transpose,
manipulate, and justify a
resumption of the land and air
assault on Iraq. Many weeks of
a massive air onslaught pre-
ceded a US. led one-sided land
war against Iraq in 1991.
A hundred thousand Iraqi sol-
diers died in a desperate retreat
that was referred to as "a
turkey shoot."
Occasional bombings and 10
years of economic sanctit)ns
continue to devastate the econ-
omy, prevent reconstruction
and result in the loss of thou-
sands of lives, including five
thousand children, each month.
Public uncritical support tor
Bush's war may easily buy into
a call for an assault to finally
eradicate Saddam Hussein.
Colin Powell. Daddy Bush, and
Bush II have endured serious
complaints that Baghdad was
not taken in '91.
Those critical wounds may
suffice to motivate their sup-
port for a major military under-
taking to crush Hussein at last.
The cost in lives could be hor-
rendous.
The Progressive reminds us
"that to heighten the level of
terror by waging-all-out war
against Afghanistan or any
other country . Bush is aiming
his bombers will serve no use-
ful purpose. In fact, it may
boomerang against us."
Sincerely.

This is life and life
has some funny twists
to it at times. 9§
-Graham Hermanns
Editorial, Graham Hermanns
I never felt like I was very
good at expressing myself on
paper. I believe I am able to do
that with my pictures, so I guess
that's why I am not the "News
Editor," but the esteemed
Photographer.
So I sat back and tried to think
about the curiosities of life I
might have come by doing my
day to day business.
You know the simple tasks
like waking up, eating break-
fast, walking to class and
attending class. It struck me
then, class.
Those wonderful events which
you wake up for every day, but
what about those so called
"wonderful classes?"
Well I had a very interesting
conversation with my girlfriend
earlier this summer about "tem-
porary friends."
Now I know you are asking
me what the heck is a "tempo-
rary friend?" Well let me
explain and please don't judge
me as I explain myself because
we, and I mean everyone, has
"temporary friends".
We began talking about those
people who kind of get you
through class, work, and basi-
cally Mfe in general.
I know this is such a horrible
thing to say about someone but
it is so true. Everyone has them
and you people that are saying
"no I don't" really do have
them.
These people are the ones who
you ask in class, "Hey, what's
the professor saying? I just
woke up."
Yes, we all have those
moments. What about those
people who don't necessarily
help you, but you see them
every once in a while at a party
or some other gathering.
You don't really know any-
thing about them, but enough in
which to hold a small conversa-
tion. You know you really have
no intentions of hanging out
with them later but they were
someone to talk to at the party.
We never really hang out with
these people outside of class,
but yet we might say "hi" if we
walk past them going through
campus.
Yup, now you are thinking, "I
know what this dude means."
Because we all know I am right.
It is kind of sad that things are
like that, but we all can't be
friends.
I know that because I don't
think I could remember every-
one's name at
Clarion University. Sometimes I
wish I could, but then I remem-
ber that one person I sometimes
really wish 1 didn't know.
That's okay. This is life and
life has some funny twists to it
at times.
Be a nice person and give that
"temporary friend" a little more
attention and let them know
they are doing a good job.

Are we too
obsessed with our
appearance? §^
I
-Jennifer Kosek
Hyde Park, Jennifer Kosek
While 1 was on the treadmill the
other day and began my day-
dreaming session, I looked out
the window around me and start-
ed to notice something.
There were no obese people;
there are not many overweight
people on Clarion campus. Then
I started to think of how long I
had to wait to get on the treadmill
and how many people go to the
gym and I asked myself, "Are we
too obsessed with our appear-
ance?"
I guess Clarion thinks so, con-
sidering it took them about six
months to get the rec center up,
but it's going to take them two
years for the library.
We may not have books, but we
do have pre-cors. I know every-
one wants to look his or her best
and there is nothing wrong with
that.
But how far are some people
willing to go to look what they
think is their best? So many of
my friends are obsessed about
their weight, they count every
calorie and they eat and go to the
gym for hours and push them-
selves beyond a healthy point.
They recall to me everything
they ate that day and then justify
why they ate what they did. They
let diet and exercise consume
their lives when all they really
need to do is change their atti-
tude.
It drives me crazy, I just want to
scream at them that they are fine
the way they are.
A person will never by happy
with the way they look until they
are happy with who they are. I
wish my friends could see them-
selves the way that I see them, as
beautiful women inside and out.
I can only imagine how many
girls on this campus obsess about
their weight and have eating dis-
orders. It really disturbs me to
see many wonderful people with
such low self-esteem and such
insecurity.
They try to reach an unrealistic
body type many people will never
be. It makes one think about
what is really important to them.
I know girls who skip class just
so they can have more time at the
gym or work-out twice a day.
They feel guilty if they don't
work-out one day, and they just
refuse to accept that life will go
on if they skip one or two work-
outs.
I am not totally free from this
group; I work-out a lot and watch
what I eat. I care about how I
look, but I don't let my jean size
control the way that I feel or my
self-concept.

What is there to do
this weekend? 99
^^9^^
-BEN ChERVENAK
^■HH
Student Senate President's
Forum,
Ben Chervenak
"What is there to do this week-
end?" This is an all too familiar
question, which can be heard
buzzing throughout campus as the
week draws to a close.
Next semester this should not
be the case. Student Senate has
seemed to develop the answer to
the campus life doldrums--the
Weekend Programming Initiative.
You may be aware of this pro-
gram; this is because last year's
Senators were the original cre-
ators of it.
Due to minor imperfections.
Senate opted to make necessary
changes and in order to better the
program we decided to put its'
start on hold until the Spring 2002
semester.
The Weekend Programming
Initiative has been designed so
every organization which is fund-
ed by Senate will be required to
hold an event on campus one
Friday, Saturday or Sunday
throughout the year.
We are hoping these organiza-
tions will use fun, creative and
original themes, which will pro-
vide "things to do this weekend,"
With well over 80 funded orga-
nizations, and only approximately
thirty weekends in each academic
year, there should be at least one
event every day of every week-
end. Starting next semester when
someone asks you what there is to
do this weekend, an answer like
"nothing" should not be heard.
Keep in mind that each year,
you, the student, pay a student
activity fee. This fee funds events
such as these. You already pay
the money, which pays for these
activities. You might as well take
advantage of the events, too.
The purpose of this initiative is
to promote CSA organizations to
offer more alcohol-free activities
on weekends.
By promoting more weekend
events for Clarion University stu-
dents, Student Senate is hoping to
encourage students to stay on
campus, make more of their
money, as well as their college
experience.
We hope that every organization
and student here takes full advan-
tage of these events and gets
involved in every way possible.
As always I will end with saying,
we as Student Senators are here to
work for you.
Any questions or concerns you
have please let us know so we can
serve you better.

College Media Day V was a big success
by Susan Campbell
Clarion Call News Editor
"College Media Day V 'Putting
the Puzzle Together' was a huge
success." said Jen DeFazio,
Society for Collegiate Journalists
Clarion chapter president and
CMDV c(Kirdinator.
The day long event began with
opening remarks by advisor to TU
Cia/^m CJ^, Dr. Arthur Barlow and
the Clarion University Provost, Dr.
Joseph Grunenwald.
DeFazio introduced the first
kevnote speaker, Lockwood
Phillips, former president of the
National News Association and
member of the NNA Board of
Directors. During his speech,
Phillips described the duties of a
newspaper journalist. He said that
life and death are bookends, and it
is a journlist's duty to mark the path
of human beings.
■"Our Job is to write about what
happens within the bookends,"
Phillips said.
"1 think CMDV was very helpful
to the student body, because you
can promote yourself and you can
learn about areas of communica-
tion you've never known before,"

dent of production at MJV.

said Dave Colamarino, senior com-
munication major.
Following Phillips" speech, seven
sessions focusing on issues that
affect future communication pro-
fessionals, took place.
Dr. Ngo Dinh Tu, professor emer-
itus of Clarion University of
Pennsylvania, led the session,
"Constitutional Press Freedoms."
Tu focused on the constitution and
provided answers to questions
which plague journalists.
"Preparing a Professional
Publication" was presented by Dr.
Mike Downing, senior editor for
Integrated Communication Design.
Downing discussed trade journal-
ism, putting together an editorial
staff, a sales staff and a production
staff.
"I found Dr. Mike Downing's
presentation very informational
and enlightening. I learned a lot
from it and really liked his lecture,"
said Kelly Drevitch, senior com-
munication major.
Beth Siusser. student publica-
tions, at Fairmont State College,
West Virginia, presented "Putting
and Keeping the Staff Together:
Square Pegs in Round Holes and
Other Staff Dilemmas." The topics
discussed included, recruiting and
training a new staff and how to
maintain cohesion with a new staff.
"Putting and Keeping the Staff
Together opened my eyes to see
what goes on behind the college
newspaper. It's a lot more strenu-
ous than I thought, and it takes a
very dedicated student to help run a
college newspaper" said Angela
Bautista. senior communication
major.
"Roundtable of College Editors"
was moderated by DeFazio. This
session gave students a chance to
meet people "behind the scenes"
from Clarion University,
Susquehanna University, Carlow
College, Ltxrk Haven University.
Fairmont State, SUNY at New
Paltz, and the University of

Students attentively listened to one of the sessions offered at
CtvlDV.
Pittsburgh Bradford Campus. The
discussion was focused on prob-
lems that college editors deal with
daily.
Dr. Patricia Kennedy, J.D., asso-
ciate professor of the communica-
tion department, presented "Who
will represent me I am sued? And
other legal questions college jour-
nalists should be asking." The top-
ics included: questions to ask, what
kinds of lawsuits might student
communicators be defendants or
plaintiffs, how a civil lawsuit
works, the discovery phase, and the
trial.
"This was my first experience at
College Media Day. I was delight-
ed when Dr. Barlow asked me to
fill in for Dr. Larson. I picked a
topic I thought all college students
would want to know about,"
Kennedy said.
Dr. Sue Hilton, Clarion SCJ pre-
siding chapter advisor, was part of
the Region I annual meeting that
was held us a closed session.
"Covering the Ten'or" was mod-
erated by Dr. Scott Kuehn, profes-
sor of the communication depart-
ment. Sitting on the panel was
Mark Despotakis, director of TV5;
Carrie LoPuh. anchor person on
TV5; Bill Adams, advisor to TV5;
Amy Thompson, editor-in-chief of
/Je Ciai'm Caff; Matt Paxton, from
the News Gazette in Wexington,
Va; and Phillips. The panel discus-
sion focused on what it was like to
experience the World Trade Center
and Pentagon tragedies from the
newsroom vantage point. Panelists
gave an overview of the challenges
they faced while covering the
event.
"We had fun, we got into impor-
tant issues, and we learned impor-
tant things from distinguished indi-
viduals," Kuehn said.
"CMDV was a nice opportunity
for students and faculty to get
together with media professionals
and some of our alumni to talk
about media issues,"Hilton said.
The second keynote speaker. Bob
Kusbit, senior vice president of
production, MTV's Total Request
Live, brought in a full house to his
speech.
Kusbit is a 1983 graduate from
Clarion University. After a fun and
unpredictable career path, he came
to Clarion telling his story about
being "one louder" in creativity.
When he was an intern at KDKA,
he .said he did everything that was
asked of him and more.
"While there, I did everything I
possibly could." Kusbit said.
Kusbit said he wasn't afraid to
change his job to further his career.
"I would get the one good job,
have some fun with it, then move

on," Kusbit said.
Kusbit also left the audience with
two pieces of advice.
"Never be afraid to take the
chances when you can," he said.
In keeping with his "one louder"
theory, he said, "Don't be afraid to
crank it up."
"I was particularly impressed
with Bob Kusbit's willingness to
come back and offer students a
path to a certain kind of success,"
Kennedy said.
"I thought Bob Kusbit was very
imformative and motivational.
Hopefully he comes back next year
to inform upcoming graduates,"
said Jon Pizzica, senior communi-
cation major.
Offering students answers and
information, representatives from
various media organizations were
on hand at the Media Fair in Moore
Hall.
The day ended with the "Panel of
Graduates." Moderated by Barlow,
the panel of recent graduates in the
communicatioti field answered
questions about the professional
world and job-related issues. They
talked about what they learned in
school and what they use on the
job. The panelists included: Kusbit;
Downing; and Wayne Anderson,
alumni and Clarion University
graduate student.

Student Senate
Six members return from National Conference in California
by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
Six members of Student Senate
returned to Monday night's meet-
ing with new information
obtained at the National
Conference in San Diego,
California. Those senators in
attendance included: President
Ben Chervenak, Vice President
Missy Gring, Treasurer Tom
Clopp, Parliamentarian Wendy
Kengor, Senator Mike McCabe,
and Senator Amy Cohen. Various
issues were covered at the confer-
ence; some examples are "Time
Management," "Dealing with
Alcohol on Campus," and
"Cultural Diversity."
President Chervenak said, "It
was a very entertaining and edu-
cational conference. It was good
to talk to other schools from
around the country on issues fac-
ing their campuses as well as
things that they are doing in the
wake of the September 11th
attacks."
During the Appropriations
Committee report. Treasurer
Clopp moved to allocate $3,091
from the Supplemental Reserve
account to ARATE for the
National Collegiate Honors
Conference. According to a repre-
sentative from ARATE, those
members attending the conference
would represent Clarion
University and learn from other
schools how to better develop the
honors program. In addition, she
said funds raised last semester
would be used to help cover the
trip; however, the organization
has not taken part in any fund-
raising activities this year.
After a question-answer session
between senators and the ARATE
representative. Vice President
Gring moved to call to question;
the motion carried 19-0-0. Senate
then voted on Treasurer Clopp's
original motion to allocate funds
to ARATE; the motion failed by a
10-7-2 vote.
Later, Vice President Gring
moved to approve the request
from Eeyrie to use Room 264

PDS presents ''Dress for Success"
by Jennifer Marz
Contributing Writer
"Dress for Success" was the
topic presented ' by The
Professional Development
Series, Oct. 15. Jim and Lydia
Crooks from Crook's Clothing
were the speakers.
The session provided infor-
mation about dressing for
interviews. Other topics
included: finding a suit style,
deciding appropriate suit
length, and how to make a
positive impression. Many
examples of appropriate dress
were provided.
"The professional develop-
ment series is one of the most
beneficial workshops Clarion
offers. Students new to the
job search process will learn
many tips and skills essential
to obtaining a job in their
potential career. Even more
knowledgeable students can
learn something new to secure
their position in today's com-
petitive workplace," said
David Snyder, senior elemen-
tary education and library sci-
ence major.
"The seminar was very
informative and interesting,"
said Kelly Maxwell, senior
elementary education with
concentration in early child-
hood.
There were approximately
75 people in attendance at the
session.
"Jim and Lydia from Crooks
Clothing make "Dress for
Success" a phenomenal suc-
cess. They made the audience
think of the overall package
of selling themselves in an
interview through profession-
al attire," said Rachael
Foflygen. coordinator of the
program.

and it's horrifying. I encourage
everyone to be aware of ways to
detect a lump, and the organiza-
tions out there which specialize in
helping to find a cure.
Early detection is the main factor
in helping to fight this disease.
Every woman over the age of 20
should be conducting monthly
breast self-exams.
To do this, check for changes in
the shape, size, and skin texture of
the breast. To check the right
breast, lie down and put a pillow
under the right shoulder.
Using the fingerpads of the mid-
dle fmgers, press firmly on the
breast and move over the entire
breast to look for a lump. Switch
the pillow to the other shoulder and
do the same to the left breast.
Conducting this procedure in the
shower may be easier since the fin-
gers can slide on the skin more eas-
ily. This may enable you to detect
changes easier.
Mamograms also are a common
way for women to detect changes.
These x-ray pictures which use
only a small amount of radiation
can detect lumps too small to be
felt during a self examination.
During a mamogram, pressure is
applied to flatten the breast to get a
clear picture. The entire procedure
should take about 15 minutes.
If a change or a lump is found,
you should consult a doctor imme-
diately. There are different treat-
ments which are available.
The main treatment is usually
surgery, but your doctor can rec-
ommend which type of surgery is
best for you depending on your sit-
uation and how severe the case is.
A lumpectomy is a surgical pro-
cedure which includes removing
the lump and a border of surround-
ing tissues.
A partial or segmental mastecto-
my removes the tumor and up to
one quarter or more of the breast.
A simple or total mastectomy
entails removing the entire breast.
Many times, for early cancers this
is the only treatment needed.
However, radiation therapy may be
needed. Radiation destroys the
cancer cells, while causing the
least amount of damage to other
cells.
Chemotherapy is another option
that reduces the reoccurance rate
sgnificantly. With this treatment,
an anticancer drug is given by
either injection or by mouth.
This treatment comes in cycles,

iiene DeFazio (May 28, 1948-Nov. 8 1991) with tier daugtiter,
Jennifer DeFazio.
and the total course of chemother-
apy usually lasts about six months.
There are many side effects that
are associated with chemotherapy.
Some of which include nausea,
loss of hair, mouth sores, and
changes in the menstral cycle.
After treatment, many women
can return t6 work and t^ieir daily
lives just a few short months after
treatment. Some rehabilitation
may be needed to strengthen the
arm and shoulder on the side of the
operation.
The five-year survival rate prog-
nosis for a breast cancer patient has
increased from 78 percent in the
1940's to 97 percent today. There
are some risk of which women
should be aware.
The older a woman is, the greater
her chances are to contract breast
cancer. Nearly 77 percent of
women diagnosed are over the age
of 50.
Breast cancer also has been
linked to genes. Mutations in
genes known as BRCAl and
BRCA2 can be inherited from
either parent. This mutation has
been found to be prevalent in
women of Jewish or European
decent.
Women who have already had the
disease in one breast or have a
mother, sister or daughter with the
disease are more likely to contract
breast cancer.
The risk also increases in women
who started their menstral periods
early in life, {before the age of 12)
and women who start menopause
after the age of 50. Having a child
after the age of 30, or never having
a child put a women at higher risk.
Being overweight and having a
diet which consists of fatty foods
also increases the woman's chance
of getting breast cancer.
Clarion University has done its
part in fighting the disease.
Recently, the English Club and
Sigma Tau Delta sponsored
Reading for the Cure and managed
to raise $1,025.00 for the cause.
They also will be official sponsors
for the Race for the Cure which
takes place in Pittsburgh on
Mother's Day.
The Reading for the Cure fea-
tured a variety of poems, anecdotes
and stories. Some participants had
personal stories of how they were
affected by the disease.

cancer, or to make a donation call

The more people know about this
disease, and the organizations that
strive to combat it, the more lives
which can be saved. Please, do
your part and be aware of what you
can do to help.

The Minority Student Service is
sponsoring "A song of the
American Holocaust: Breaking
the Cycle of Violence." Bobby
Gonzalez will present the pro-
gram, Oct. 22 in Hart Chapel at
7:30 p.m. The show is free and
open to anyone.
Gonzalez, a Taino and Puerto
Rican historian, speaks about
Taino and Native American tribes
from North, South and Central
America. He explains the physi-
cal, spiritual and cultural hard-
ships these tribes underwent. He
defines this as the "Amencan
Holocaust."
First, he begins with the time of
Christopher Columbus and con-
cluding with the contemporary
issues in Chiapas, Mexico, and in
Columbia, where the Uwa's
Indians experience a mass suicide
threat. In addition, the Uwa's
could lose their land due to oil
exploration.
Gonzalez, a monthly columnist
for the Latino Village Press, lec-
tures throughout the United
States. He has presented this in
many prestigious venues such as
Carnegie Hall, the National
Museum of the American Indian,
and the University of North
Hampshire. He also has written
poetry books and is both an event
coordinator and master of cere-
monies for the Native Harvest
Festival. The festival takes place
every fall in Van Cortland Park in
the Bronx.
Rogers Laugand, the director of
Minority Student Services,
believes this program to be very
worthwhile for Clarion students.
Besides the educational value, he
feels students will see Native
Americans in a different perspec-
tive.
Ultimately, he feels this could
start the creation of an acceptable
environment. Students will
receive valuable knowledge of
Native American culture and a
better understanding of what
occurred in the United States.
"This presentation connects the
past to the future. With that con-
nection, people can live better,"
said Laugand.

I know that I will never be a size
2, and that is okay with me. I
believe everything happens for a
reason, and so there is reason to
look this way.
Looks are important there is no
doubt about that. But a person's
attitude affects the way people
view you.
I have many times heard, "I
thought he was cute until I got to
know him, and now his personali-
ty changes the way he looks to
me."
This sounds cliquish, but it's
what inside a person that counts
the most.
People do things to themselves
that doesn't make any sense.
Girls are willing to put harmful
pills into their bodies just so the
scale will tell them that they lost a
few inches.
What they don't understand is
how badly they are hurting them-
selves in the long run.
They deprive their body of nutri-
ents that they need and end up
doing more harm than good.
Please, if you have a
friend who has some sort of eating
disorder please get them help.
Go to a counselor or talk to their
family. Let them know you care
and they are loved.
Only they can make a change in
their lives, but you can help them
make that first step. It's not so
much our friends' help that helps
us as the confidence of their help.
If you notice a friend is always
depressed, complaining about
their weight, constantly going to
the gym, never eating, you friend
has a problem.
I don't think many people notice
because so many people are con-
cerned with weight loss in our
society.
This is a serious problem which
needs attention.
We need to start accepting our-
selves for who we are, not what
we weigh, and we shouldn't let
our dress size determine our self-
worth.

Wanda Nesbit has been
selected Minority Student of
the Month, nominated by Dr.
Andrea Miller. This accom-
plishment adds to the lengthy
list of achievements Nesbit
has already earned. She is a
junior, duel major in library
science and secondary educa-
tion mathematics. She is
involved in numerous extra-
curricular activities, including
the student chapter of the
American Librarian
Association, Lift Every Voice
choir, Interhall Council, and
Hall Council for Givan Hall.
Nesbit's academic achieve-
ments also speak for them-
selves for her dedication for
excellence. She is included in
the Who's Who of Junior
College Students and is the
recipient of many awards,
including the All-American
Scholar Award, National
Collegiate Minority
Leadership Award, and the
NASA Space Grant.
Wanda's first love is for
computers. This falls hand in
hand with her experience at
Delaware Technical
Community College. She grad-
uated in Spring 2001 with two
associate degrees, one in com-
puter network engineering and
one in computer engineering
technology. She also has a pas-
sion for music. She loves to
sing, play the drums and
enjoys many types of music;
including jazz, classical, and
gospel.
This is Wanda's first semes-
ter at Clarion University.
Originally from New York and
residing in Delaware. She was
working in the school library
at Delaware Technical
Community College, and the
librarian mentioned she should
go to school for library sci-
ence. She did an Internet
search on schools offering
library science programs, and
Clarion was one of two
schools that were listed. After
a more intense search, Nesbit
found that Clarion's library
science program is accredited
by the American Library
Association, making up her
mind to come to Clarion.
As previously mentioned,
Wanda hails from New York
and lives in Delaware. The
main aspect of Clarion she had
to get used was "the hills," she
said without a moment's hesi-
tation. "Definitely, the hills! I
was sore from walking for a
week!" As for the atmosphere.

Nesbit says that she finds
Clarion beautiful. Describing
Clarion, she said it is like "a
little hometown, like the ones
you see in a movie."
Her favorite Clarion experi-
ence has been The Autumn
Leaf Festival. She had a mem-
orable first ALF, as it was the
first time she had witnessed a
parade go through a town.
The criteria for Minority
Student of the Month are
based on any area in which a
student excels, extra-curricu-
lar activities, and special
achievements.

Emmy Awar d-wirnier speaks of diversity
by Colleen Leonard
Clarion Call Staff Writer
There are more Hispanics
living in the United States
than there are Canadians liv-
ing in Canada.
As part of the Martin Luther
King Jr. Series, Sanda
Guzman, Emmy Award-win-
ning journalist, spoke to stu-
dents and faculty on Monday
about diversity, discrimination
and what it really means to be
Latino.
"American history is really
Photo courtesy of University Relations
[Sandra Guzman, Emnny
lAward-winning journalist.
Latino history, and Latino his-
tory is really American histo-
ry," explained Guzman. "We
can't forget that." To say that
someone is Hispanic is to say
that they are from Spanish
decent. There are 35.3 million
Hispanics living in the United
States today.
Guzman strongly feels that
no matter what the ethnicity or
religion, discrimination and
racism come from fear and
ignorance, not necessarily
hatred. If people think that
racism is a thing of the past.
they are mistaken. "I'm here
to tell you that racism and dis-
crimination are alive today,"
Guzman explained.
When faced with racism,
Guzman suggests staring it
straight in the face. "Always
have a comeback," she advis-
es. "Speak up! Never stay
quiet."
More importantly, Guzman
wanted the audience to know
that there isn't much that sep-
arates Hispanics from every-
one else.
"There are several things
that Latinos share in com-
mon," according to Guzman.
From the love of food, music
and language to the strengths
of family and a sense of home
life, there is something very
distinct about the Latino
upbringing, explained
Guzman. "The universal
Spanish language connects all
Latinos."
So how does a person learn
more? Dance the salsa or
tango, learn another language,
travel and eat different foods.
New experiences can develop
a better understanding of
something unfamiliar.
Guzman's advice has credi-
bility behind it. She won an
Emmy Award in 1995 for a
special on the Cuban
Embargo. In this half-hour
special, Guzman united
Cuban-Americans for a seri-
ous debate on what to do
about the embargo. It
explored new ideas and
inspired new solutions.
Guzman is the former
Editor-in-Chief of Latina
Magazine. Latina Magazine
targets Hispanic-American
women and reaches 1.7 mil-
lion readers. The magazine,
unlike many other women's
magazines, doesn't airbrush or
perfect the flaws of those fea-
tured. At Latina Magazine,
what you see is what you get,
and Guzman prides herself on
helping to promote this new
concept.
"A beautiful woman is not
just a woman who is blonde
with blue eyes," she says. The
magazine offers coverage of a
wide variety of women, in all
colors, shapes and sizes.
Guzman is also the founding
editor of the largest website
ever to be targeted towards
Hispanic women,
www.SOLOELLA.com.
Before Latina Magazine, she
also worked for Fox
Television's Good Day New
York, producing stories target-
ed towards diverse audiences.
Guzman also discussed her
upcoming book. The Latina's
Bible. It is scheduled for
release in February 2002. The
book, written in English, will
include one chapter entitled "8
Things You Should Know
Before You Marry a White
Guy." Another chapter deals
with spirituality and religion.
"I always knew that I want-
ed to become a writer,"
explained Guzman, who was
born in Puerto Rico. "I was
hit by the journalism bug."
However, she attended
Rutgers University majoring
in history and philosophy
rather than journalism. She
interned at various places and
began writing for a small
newspaper as a reporter. In
time, she worked her way to

Don't Say A Word opens in
1981, with four men robbing
a bank to acquire a $10 mil-
lion ruby. As the men
escape, the ruby is given to
one of the robbers who tries
to keep it for himself, not
knowing it would result in
his death.
Based on the Andrew
Klavan novel of the same
name, Michael Douglas
plays psychiatrist Dr. Nathan
Conrad. Dr. Conrad's
daughter, Jessica, is kid-
napped and given a strange
ultimatum. His psychiatrist
friend, Dr. Sachs, talks him
into helping with a patient,
Elizabeth Burrows, played
by Britney Murphy.
Dr. Sachs is in the same
position Conrad is in; his
girlfriend is kidnapped by
the bank robbers, but doesn't
tell Conrad. Instead of ran-
som money, the kidnappers
ask Conrad to get a number
from Elizabeth. Because
Conrad doesn't know what
the numbers mean, he does-
n't know how to go about
getting Elizabeth to tell him.
Elizabeth has been through
twenty psychiatric wards,
each of them giving a differ-
ent diagnosis. Elizabeth suf-
fers from post-traumatic
stress syndrome, due to wit-
nessing her father get killed Conrad not to call the police
by a subway. As Conrad and bug the house to make

to extreme and daring
lengths to save his daughter
and help a patient. Britney
Murphy plays the perfect
schizophrenic as she tries to
convince her doctors she's
insane, but gives in to
Conrad as he compares her
to his daughter.
Tying the plot together is
Detective Cassidy who
believes Conrad and Dr.
Sachs are involved in the
homicides committed by the
notorious bank robbers. As
they all pull together to
bring back Jessica, the
movie takes some very unex-
pected twists and turns as
Conrad discovers the true
story on Elizabeth's father's
death and where the ruby is
hidden.
This suspenseful movie will
keep you on the edge of your
seat, as the plot unravels and
the kidnappers get what they
have coming to them.

What's so special about beer? Dave Barry explains
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
It's time for "Guys In Science,"
the feature in which we report on
the heroic efforts of guys, using sci-
entific knowledge, to explore, and
exceed, the limits of common sense.
We begin with this IMPORTANT
SAFETY ADVISORY: The activi-
ties described here are very danger-
ous. These activities were engaged
in by expert guys with specialized
experience in such fields as physics
and accordion repair. Do NOT
attempt any of these activities
unless you have a signed statement
from a medical doctor certifying
that, in his professional opinion,
you are a moron who deserves to
die. Do not even READ this column
without safety goggles.
Our first guy is Simon Hansen of
Auckland, New Zealand, where
guys are called "blokes." According
to Simon's website
(http://www.asciimation.co.nz/beer/
), brought to my attention by many
alert guy readers, Simon was in his
garage, when he realized that he had
a very serious guy problem: His
beer was warm.
Now many people, faced with this
problem, would solve it via some
low-tech, unscientific methtxl such
as putting the beer on ice, or in a
refrigerator. But Simon Hansen is
not "many people." He decided to
cool his beer by — I am not making
this up — building a jet engine. He
welded it together, largely from
automobile parts, right there in his
garage.
To understand how a jet engine
could make beer cold, you need to
know something about physics.
Fortunately, I studied physics under
the legendary Mr. Heideman at
Pleasantville High School.
Unfortunately, we frittered away
our time studying such topics as the
fulcrum, and never got to the part
about cooling beer with a jet engine.
But if I follow Simon's explana-
tion, the whole purpose of his
engine is to suck the fuel — liquid
petroleum gas — very rapidly out
of a fuel tank. For some reason, pos-
sibly involving molecules, this
rapid sucking action — in addition
to being a good name for a rock
band — causes the fuel tank to get
very cold. So when Simon wants to
chill a can of beer, he simply puts it
into a tub of water, puts the fuel tank
into the tub, fires up his jet engine,
and, voila, he is deaf Thai's
because his engine has a noise level
of 125 decibels. To give you an idea
what that means: If you were
exposed to that many decibels, at
close range and without ear protec-
tion, you would be sitting in my
son's car.
So, yes, it's noisy. But there's an
old saying among scientific guys:
"You can't make an omelet without
breaking eggs, ideally by dropping
a cement truck on them from a
crane." The bottom line is this:
When Simon ran his jet engine, his
beer-can temperature decreased
from 1 1 degrees C to 2 degrees C in
just five minutes. This is very
impressive, and would be even
more so if we knew what a "C"
was.
The important thing is that this
guy, using science, has found a new,
innovative and — above all — loud
way to cool beer. Perhaps this will
inspire other guys to come up with
an even MORE scientific methcxl,
such as shooting beer cans into
outer space, or sending them back-
ward in time to the Ice Age. That's
how your major scientific discover-
ies are made, and that's why, in the
interest of progress, it is so very
important, when a guy is in his
garage, never to interrupt him with
petty requests that he mow the
lawn, take out the garbage, go to his
wedding, etc.
For our other example of Guys in
Science, we go to San Francisco,
where a guy named Kimric S my the
— who makes his living in the field
of accordion sales and repair —
recently attached several ordinary
household vacuum cleaners to a
propane fuel line, then turned them
on. As you have no doubt realized,
he had a scientific reason for doing
this: to see what happens.
It turns out that what happens is
very bad for the vacuum cleaners. I
have some photographs of the
experiment sent to me by Kimric's
proud father. Bill Smythe. Some of
the vacuum cleaners briefly trans-
form into rcx'kets, but pretty soon,
as Kimric informed me in a tele-
phone interview, they tend to suffer
a major appliance malfunction,
sometimes involving shrapnel.
This is an important exf)eriment,
because it proves, scientifically, that
it would be a big mistake, no matter
how tempting it may be, for us to
try to build rockets using vacuum
cleaners powered by propane.
Somebody should tell NASA
immediately. Maybe you could do
that, OK? I'm going to have a cold
one.

Sigur Ros takes you on a trip to another universe
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestvles Editor
ARTIST/ALBUM: Sigur Ros.
kgaetis Byrjun.
FOR FANS OF: Cinematic,
neo-classical music with pop sen-
sibilities, epic shoegazing.
FOR FURTHER LISTENING:
My Bloody Valentine's Loveless;
Godspeed You Black Emperor's
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like
Antennas To Heaven.
Let me quote you an excerpt
from J.R.R. Tolkien's Fellowship
Of The Ring book: "It seemed to
him that he had stepped through a
high window that looked on a van-
ished world. A light was upon it
for which his language had no
name. All that he saw was shape-
ly, but the shapes seemed at once
clear cut, as if they had been first
conceived and drawn at the uncov-
ering of his eyes, and ancient as if
they had endured forever. He saw
no colour but those he knew, gold
and white and blue and areen, but
they were fresh and poignant, as if
he had at that moment first per-
ceived them and made for them
names new and wonderful. In
winter here no heart could mourn
for summer or for spring. No
blemish of sickness or deformity
could be seen in anything that
grew upon the earth. On the land
of Lorien there was no stain."
Such a passage is as clear an
explanation as to what listening to
Sigur Ros' Agaetis Byrjun is like.
This Icelandic band, and this
record in specific have accumulat-
ed a mountain of hype and hyper-
bole that dwarves Mt. Everest in
first time in eons. You do not just
listen to this album - you experi-
ence it.
I don't often buy into the hype
machine, but all the lavish praise
comparison. But for one glorious garnered by Sigur Ros is but a
and shining time, we have an
album that is deserving of it.
Enveloping yourself in Agaetis
Byrjun is akin to lying in a snowy
field on a blustery winter night,
while an unquenchable fire smoul-
ders within you. It is the sound of
morning mist creeping through
lush ivy; of glaciers coming to life
and stretching their limbs for the
meek whisper when held up
against the music itself Agaetis
Byrjun is an album that is equally
classical and contemporary; sor-
rowful and exuberant; slumbering
and rousing. It has all the resplen-
dent majesty of a Beethoven sym-
phony, condensed (sort of) into
easily digestible morsels of sonic
passion.
Agaetis Byrjun is an album
seemingly birthed in a vacuum. I
can sit here and name-drop every
band that's walked the earth, but
Agaetis Byrjun disregards them as
so many straw houses. There is no
singular album that has come
before it that sounds quite like it,
and I highly doubt there will be in
the future, even by Sigur Ros
themselves.
From the underwater volcanic
eruption of "Svefn-G-Englar" to
the numbing headspace of
"Avalon," Sigur Ros present a
microcosm of Beauty itself within
every song, or should I say,
"suite." They push the sonic and
temporal boundaries of their
music with each cut, often result-
ing in 10 minute-plus constructs,
but never over-indulging in pre-
tentious self-glorification. This
group of souls is crafting music to
mold universes to, but never let on
that they know this to be so.
The basic elements of the Sigur
Ros sound are remarkably simple.
Lead singer Jon Thor Birgisson
intones in a falsetto that could
make a pre-pubescent choirboy
weep, employing a mixture of
Icelandic and English speech,
dubbed "Hopelandic." Keyboards
of all manner, bass, spartan drums
and guitars (both electric and
acoustic) are all there. For the
most part, Birgisson, who also
plays guitar, utilizes the acoustic
end of the spectrum, filling in the
ethereal, wispy songs with a rus-
tic, organic touch. When the elec-
tric is used, it's played with a vio-
lin bow, which results in a sound
I'm sure we could use to commu-
nicate with whales.
The songs themselves are rather
simple on paper, highly melodic
and flowing, but not bloated prog
beasts. Simple formula, but the
magic lies in the way Sigur Ros
approaches their music, playing
each note as if that one second of
noise could enchant someone to
fall in love; feel the memory of
lost friends and family; reach out
and scrape fingers with God.
"Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa," with
its lilting strings that weave
through the song like strands of
silken hair, and elegant piano mea-
sures that underpin all else, is the
sound of a thousand funeral pro-
cessions, only through the view-
point of the deceased, safely nes-

to the top.
Joe Sciullo, a senior at Clarion University, attended Guzman's dis-
cussion. "I thought it was really enlightening," he said. "I realized
that there is more of a Latino population than I previously thought."
Freshman Lisa Covington was also appreciative of Guzman's
words. "I liked how she felt about women and minorities."
Martin Luther King Jr. once spoke of having a dream. Nothing
else mattered but the person themself, not what they looked like or
where they came from. If we should learn anything from Guzman,
it's how essential it is to understand those who may be different
from us, and to accept them for who they are.
As for Guzman's Emmy? It waits for her at home, only a few
blocks away from the World Trade Center in the heart of New York
City.
tied up in their pillowy cloud in
Heaven. While the piano sends
veins of ice up your spinal cord,
the string sections and slide guitar
emanate waves of heat directly
afterwards, sending you reeling
into the deepest blue.
If Tolkien's hobbits and elves
truly did exist (and in Sigur Ros'
world, I'm sure they do), then
"Olsen Olsen" would be their
natit)nal anthem, as it builds from
a cyclic acoustic guitar riff and the
violin bowed guitar ct)upled with
Birgisson's voice, which glides
along like a firefly in the cool
night air. As "Olsen Olsen" grows
in tempo and length, lyrical flute
flourishes are added, along with a
steady backbeat, culminating in
nothing less than the sound of the
very heavens themselves opening
up, releasing a host of angels upon
the earthly plane.
Agaetis Byrjun is filled with
moments such as those. When
Sigur Ros isn't showing us the
outer reaches of our universe,
they're turning us inward, with
delicate and fragile grace. Tracks
such as "Agaetis Byrjun" and
"Staralfur" feel like the gentle
caress of a pixie wing on vinir
head, perhaps providing the
soundtrack for the embryonic
alien that adorns the album's
cover.
If you translate Agaetis Byrjun
into English, it means "a good
start." A more humble sentiment
of understatement I've never
heard. Agaetis Byrjun is not just a
beginning, but presents us with a
bold middle and end - an entire
career within the confines of one
album. If this group of musicians
never pick up an instrument again,
a hundred years from now we'll
still be singing the praises of this
album, and wishing that every-
thing in life could taste this sweet.

wins over Florida Atlantic (40-7)
and Tiffin (45-13), then lost three
straight to Edinboro (14-7), I.U.R
(23-7) and Shippensburg (32-20).

a big road game at California by a
37-27 margin. Mihalik led S.R.U.

College basketball tips off 2001-02 season
Courtesy of Krt Campus
College basketball starts three weeks from
today. The games will be sloppy, and yes, it
should be illegal to tip off before John Madden
scarfs the first Turkey Day drumstick. But
some early season matchups merit watching,
and we're not talking about Clemson-Morris
Brown.
Start with the season-opening Coaches vs.
Cancer Tournament at Madison Square
Garden. Florida faces Temple in one semifinal,
followed by Maryland and Arizona.
Florida-Temple should be a hoot, if only for
the coaching contrast the Gators' ultraslick
Billy Donovan and the Owls' delightfully
disheveled John Chaney. Both are craftsmen.
Maryland- Arizona matches two of last sea-
son's Final Four. The Terps return four starters,
including guard Juan Dixon and center Lonny
Baxter. The Wildcats return only one, guard
Jason Gardner, but Lute Olson recruited more
than enough talent to reload.
Steve Merfeld did not, try as he might. His
Hampton Pirates finished 25-7 last season and
shocked second-seeded Iowa State in the first
round of the NCAA West Regional. But
Merfeld's three best players center Tarvis
Williams, point guard Marseilles Brown and
wing LaSean Howard were seniors.
Translation: Don't expect another upset when
Hampton opens its season Nov. 16 at North
Carolina.
"There's going to be a natural regression
because you can't replace everyone," Merfeld
said. "You can't replace 60 percent of your
scoring overnight. Georgetown, Maryland, the
other teams that were out there (in the West
Regional), they can reload. As much as we'd
like to think we can, we can't."
Merfeld tried. He tried to recruit higher-cal-
iber players, those drawing interest from
Atlantic 10 and Big East programs.
"They still made a conscious decision to play
at the, quote-unquote, highest level," Merfeld
said. "We probably set our sights a little too
high, but I don't think we had any choice."
No program sets its sights higher than
defending national champion Duke. The Blue
Devils talk title virtually every season, and
coach Mike Krzyzewski's schedule should
prime them for another March run.
Duke opens Nov. 19-21 at the Maui
Invitational (nice gig if you can get it), where
the field includes UCLA, Kansas, South
Carolina and Seton Hall. The Blue Devils also
face, prior to Christmas, Iowa, Temple,
Michigan and Kentucky with only the Temple
contest at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Krzyzewski's mentor, the combustible
Bobby Knight, returns to coaching this season
at Texas Tech of all places. Knight is 106 vic-
tories shy of breaking Dean Smith's career
record of 879, and his first chance to close, the
gap comes Nov. 17 against William an^ Mary.
W&M began varsity basketball in 1905, but
virtually none of its 1,998 games attracted
widespread attention. That changes Nov. 17.
Knight's resurfacing is national news, if only
to see when he next implodes, and ESPN's
cameras will be in the house.
ESPN will not telecast the Dec. 1 Virginia-
Virginia Tech game in Charlottesville.
Question is, will anyone notice? Tech hosts
Miami that afternoon in what could be a foot-
ball epic, while Virginia concludes its football
season at home in a rescheduled game against
Penn State.

Last Friday, the Golden Eagle
cross country teams competed at
the Duquesne Invitational. The
womens team placed third out of
1 1 teams while the mens team
placed eighth out of 12 teams.
Some of the teams that the
Golden eagles competed against
included Malone College, the
University of Pittsburgh,
Carnegie Mellon, and Robert
Morris. Even though this meet
was not as big as the last race that
Clarion competed in, it was still a
very competitive event with many
Division 1 teams.
The womens team finished with
the best overall finish it has had in
all of the previous years that
Clarion has competed in the invi-
tational. The womens team was
lead by Melissa Terwillinger with
a seventh place finish.
Terwillinger was followed by Jen
Boerner in 12th and Katie Szafran
in 16th. The womens lop four run-
ners were all in the top 20 finish-
ers and within a minute of each
other. This was a task not even
accomplished by the first or sec-
ond place teams. The hot legs
award goes to Terwillinger for her
excellent race and moving up to
the Golden Eagle's top runner.
The mens team was lead by cap-
tain, Ean King with a 25th place
finish. King was followed by
Mayernik in 39th and Matt
Masterone in 48th. The hot legs
awards for the mens team go to
Zac Odgen and Matt Lapatka for
excellent runs. Odgen is getting
closer to the mens pack and
Lapatka had his bets race in four
years.
The womens team is very happy
with their accomplishments dur-
ing the meet. They hope that this
is just the beginning and are look-
ing to turn many heads this year at

Golden Eagles take PSAC-West loss to Fighting Scots

Edinboro's Alonzo Roebuck
ran for 119 yards and a touch-
down, and Chris Buehner caught
a touchdown pass to lead the
Fighting Scots to a 24-12 win
over Clarion on Saturday after-
noon at Sox Harrison Stadium.
The game also served as
Edinboro's Homecoming.
The loss left the Golden Eagles
with a 3-4 overall record and a 1-
2 mark in the PSAC-West.
Edinboro upped their record to 4-
2 overall and 3-1 in the PSAC-
West.
The Edinboro crowd of 6,011
saw Clarion come out smokin in
the first quarter and threaten to
take charge of the game early.
Clarion corner, Myron Hargon
stopped Edinboro's first drive
with an over-the-shoulder inter-
ception at the Clarion 16. After a
change of possession, Hargon
worked his magic again.
The sophomore corner stepped
in front of a Steve Tryon pass at
the Edinboro 33 and posted his
second interception of the game
with 12:08 left in the first.
With great field position
Clarion drove 33 yards in only
four plays to open the afternoon's
scoring. Fullback, Demetric
Gardner dashed up the middle 19
yards to hit paydirt which gave
Clarion a 6-0 lead. A bad snap
caused Clarion to miss the extra
point, but the Eagles had a 6-0
advantage with 9:23 to go in the
first.
Clarion's defense stepped up
again on Edinboro's next posses-
sion. Tryon fumbled and Eagle
inside linebacker Tom Gaydosz
recovered for the Eagles at the
Edinboro 40. But Clarion could
not capitalize on the turnover and
the Scots dodged a big bullet.
Clarion had the ball at midfield
later in the first quarter, but a
missed exchange between

Early in the second quarter

quarterback, Tryon, broke out of
the pocket on a drop back pass
play and sprinted 17-yards into
the endzone untouched to give
the Scots a 17-6 lead with 9:50

opportunity slip through their
fingers late in the second quarter
that could have put them right

big play was a 20 yard run by
Glenn Lovelace to the Boro four.
On second and goal at the three,

through the line, hit Almashy
from the back side, and stripped
the ball from the Eagle quarter-
back. He fell on the ball at the
five, turning the momentum back
to the Scots.
Edinboro drove 63-yards in
four plays to take a 24-6 lead.
Alonzo Roebuck went 38 yards
on a shovel pass from Tryon, then
ran 23 yards to the Clarion two.

to expand the Scots lead with
5:35 remaining in the third.
Early in the fourth quarter, the
Eagles tried to come back.
Clarion drove 72-yards in nine

touchdown play came on a 29-

man halfback Ben Culver.

Senate introduces Weekend Programming Initiative
by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Assitant News
Editor
Clarion University Student
Senate has been working to begin
implementation of the Weekend
Programming Initiative, which
was adopted January 29, 2001.
The purpose of this initiative is
to promote organizations to spon-
sor more alcoht)l-free activities

on weekends. Thus, Senate
would be encouraging students to
stay on campus over the week-
ends.
Senator Mike McCabe, chair of
the Rules, Regulations, &
Policies Committee, said, "I hope
to stop the 'suitcase campus' rep-
utation by giving students more
to do on the weekends and get-
ting them to actually stay on cam-
pus."
There are several major
points included in the
Weekend Programming
Initiative. It says all
Clarion Student's
Association funded orga-
nizations are required to
sponsor one weekend
event each academic
year.
At least two separate
dates and events will be
submitted to the Rules,
Regulations, & Policies
Committee, who will
review and coordinate
the event scheduling with
the Student Activities
Office.
All events will be pub-
lished in the Student
Activity Calendar; how-
ever organizations will be
required to promote their
activities accordingly.
Members of Student
I mm Senate, as well as Faculty
l^B Senate representatives,
■V will monitor the events
-^ each weekend by going
to them and recording
student attendance.
Organizations must
provide the Rules,
Regulations, & Policies
Committee with a two-
week notice if they are
unable to hold their
event, and there must be
a valid reason for a post-
ponement to be granted.
If an organization fails to hold
a scheduled event without per-
mission for postponement, then
the organization's account would
be frozen, and they would be
required to reschedule their
event.
Upon completion of the activi-
ty, a hearing would be conducted
by the Rules. Regulations, &
Policies Committee to determine
whether the organization's
account should be unfrozen.
Student Senate will review the
Weekend Programming Initiative
in the fall semester of 2003 to
determine if any amendments are
necessary.
In the meantime, the initiative
will take effect in the spring of
2002 on a trial basis.
In order to better familiarize
students with the Weekend
Programming Initiative, mem-
bers of Student Senate conducted
a mandatory meeting for repre-
sentatives from every CSA-fund-
ed organization Monday, October
22,2001.
During the meeting. Vice
President Gring explained that
Senate developed the initiative
through a Task Force Conference.
Senators learned of a similar pro-
gram implemented at the
University of Maryland.
In addition, President Ben
Chervenak said (.)ther schools in
the State System of Higher
Education are trying to develop
similar initiatives to provide stu-
dents with alternatives lo alcohol-
related weekend activities.
Treasurer Tom Clopp added that
the Weekend Programming
Initiative could also serve as a
constructive way of recruiting
new members to various organi-
zations.
Senator McCabe reviewed
some guidelines for approved

The loss left the Golden Eagles
with a 3-4 overall record and a 1-
2 mark in the PSAC-West.
Edinboro upped their record to 4-

take charge ^^S, the game early.
Clarion corner. Myron Hargon
stopped EdinborcVs first drive
with an over-the-shoulder inter-
ception at the Clarion 16. After a
change oi possession, Hargon
worked his magic again.
The sophomore corner stepped
in front of a Steve Tryon pass at
the Edinboro 33 and posted his
second interception of the game
with 12:08 left in the first.
With great field position
Clarion drove 33 yards in only
four plays to open the afternoon's
scoring. Fullback, Demetric
Gardner dashed up the middle 19
yards to hit paydirt which gave
Clarion a 6-0 lead. A bad snap
caused Clarion to miss the extra
point, but the Eagles had a 6-0
advantage with 9:23 to go in the
first.
Clarion's defense stepped up
again on Edinboro's next posses-
sion. Tryon fumbled and Eagle
inside linebacker Tom Gaydosz
recovered for the Eagles at the
Edinboro 40. But Clarion could
not capitalize on the turnover and
the Scots dt>dged a big bullet.

Bomb threat in Davis
On Oct. 12, 2001, a student at
Clarion University was using
the restroom and found a bomb
threat written on the stall wall
in Davis Hall. The problem is
no one was made aware of this
threat until later in the day.
Green fliers were put up all
over campus to tell the student
body about the bomb threat and
an all campus e-mail was also
put out.
Now the people who really
don't pay attention to fliers and
don't check their e-mail on a
regular basis they had no clue
this took place. Even though
the fliers were put up, they
were very vague with the
details.
We don't understand because
bomb threats have occurred to
other universities in
Pennsylvania and they were
evacuated immediately.
Classes which were taking
place in Davis were not even
cancelled for the day, and stu-
dents were not evacuated.
However, if classes weren't
cancelled Sept. 11, why would
they cancel classes for this?
Bloomsburg, our sister State
System of Higher Education
school, had a bomb threat take
place, and they were evacuated
immediately.
Why can't Clarion follow the
same procedures other schools
follow?
Some of us believe we are
being treated like children
because we were not clued into
the situation which was taking
place.
We are supposed to be young
adults worthy of the entire
story, no matter how frighten-
ing.
In addition, since we did have
a bomb treat in Davis, should-
n't all of the other buildings on
campus be checked?
Did a safety check take place
just to make sure students were
safe and there weren't any
bombs on campus?
What had happened in the
investigation? Was the threat
found to be nonexistant?
We can only assume the threat
wasn't validated. Assuming we
are safe isn't good enough.
We want to be certain of our
safety on campus, but when
issues like this are not dealt
with the best way they could
be, how safe are we?
What if we do let our guards
down, and we actually have a
real bomb threat?
We fear a tragedy taking
place will be the only way we
will be informed.

Your Views
Student pleads for department funding
The Modern Language
Department has been quietly
growing over the past several
years. More and more students
are enrolling in language courses.
Some students are opting to
minor in or major in a foreign lan-
guage.
In addition to the typical
French, Spanish and German
courses, Clarion has added
Russian to its repertoire.
In a cooperative effort with
Slippery Rock and Edinboro
Universities, Clarion offers
courses through the Interactive
Television classroom. This means
students can communicate with
the other universities in a kind of
teleconference during class.
However, we find ourselves fac-
ing a problem: the Modern
Lanuage Department is not
receiving enough funding to con-
tinue its growth, especially in the
area of the language lab.
The language lab is a particu-
larly valuable resource to anyone
learning another language. It
allows them to practice and
improve their competency by
using the cassette tapes provided,
as well as watching movies deal-
ing with the languages they are
learning.
The lab is supervised by Dr.
Elisabeth Donato and operated by
students taking part in a work-
study program, which is funded
by the department.
Because funding continues to be

cut, the workers and number of
hours the lab is open per week has
to be cut.
It is said that a student should
study approximately three hours
outside of class for every hour
spent in class. Naturally, some of
this time will be spent in the lan-
guage lab.
With all the classes we take as
students, it is already difficult to
find time to do that.
Now that the funding is being
cut, there will be fewer hours the
lab can be open. Consequently,
that leaves fewer times available
for us to use the lab, especially
when our class times conflict with
the lab's hours.
On top of this, students partici-
pating in work-study are told they
cannot work the standard ten
hours per week due to lack of
funds.
Another thing to keep in mind is
with the events of Sept. 11, 2001,
we realize that America may be a
great country, but we are not the
only country that exists.
It is becoming increasingly
important that we be able to com-
municate with others in their
respective languages rather than
relying on them to speak English.
I question how a growing
department is supposed to contin-
ue growing without the proper
funding and support.
I would ask that those responsi-
ble please reconsider cutting
funds for the language lab.
Otherwise, this is hurting the fac-
ulty, students and the university
itself.
Sincerly,

My sink at home is clogged
again. Clogged with items
which should never find their
way to the sink drain but always
do.
However, most of the items
are now unrecognizable, and it
is time for them to be intro-
duced to Drano or a powerful
plunger.
Then I started to think, my life
and other people's lives become
the sink drain; extremely con-
gested. The only difference is
the sink didn't choose for the
full load.
As students, we have the
option to become involved in
not only university activities,
but with the world or should I
say "drain at large."
Some of us choose not to get
involved, while others can't say
no to anything. What about
those students who can't say
no?
What are they getting them-
selves into? Are their priorities
really in line?
I am one of those people who
can't say no to extra tasks.
Sometimes I wonder if 1 am
devoting enough time to the
truly important aspects of life.
My best friend is wonderful
about calling and sending altru-
istic cards.
The word altruism escapes us.
According to Webster's
Dictionary, to exhibit altruistic
behavior is to have concern for
others without considering
one's self.
With the situation in this coun-
try right now, don't you think
we could use more selfless acts?
I often think about what is
must have been like for the pas-
sengers aboard United Airlines
Flight 93 which crashed in
Somerset County. If ever there
was a selfless act, it was then.
Of course, one's selfless act
does not have to be as extreme,
and I pray others won't have to
make such a decision. However,
every day we can exhibit acts of
kindness such as, sending a
'thank you' card, holding an
open door, or smiling at some-
one.
There is always time for sim-
ple chores such as these.
Many of us have a great deal
of tasks to accomplish in a short
amount of time, but it isn't and
excuse to halt altruism. Maybe
it's time for us to purge our lives
of all the items or tasks which
are not as important as we think.

Goats are men-
tioned in the Bible 136
times... §9
-Dr. Dean Straffin
Hyde Park, Dr. Dean Straffin
It is common this time of year
to see articles both scholarly and
not so scholarly on the meaning
of Halloween and its associated
symbols.
Last year at this time, the 6a/f
ran an article on the history of
Halloween, pointing out its ori-
gin in the Celtic festival of
Samhaim. The Christian calen-
dar has superseded the ancient
Celtic New Year Day with All
Saints Day (All Hallows) and All
Hallows Eve (Hallow Eve) alias
Halloween.
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" prob-
ably represents one of the oldest
religious images ever recorded,
showing up in cave walls of
upper Paleolithic people in
Europe during the last Ice Age.
The Horned Goat figure subse-
quently became common in
many different cultural belief
systems and various "horned fig-
ures" show up all over Europe
well before the advent of
Christianity. The 9th century
church condemned this imagery
and accused people associate
with it as reverting to wickedness
and evil.
Goats have appeared in the reli-
gious symbolism of many cul-
tures in a more favorable per-
spective than the one portrayed
by medieval Christianity.
Goats are mentioned in the
Bible 136 times, and there are 11
direct references to them in the
Old Testament which point out
their worth (Jacob received spot-
ted 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
children of Israel and then was
driven off into the wilderness.
Goats frequently appear in the
religious symbolism of widely
diverse cultures; in ancient Greek
and Roman mythology the god of
shepherd, Pan, son of Mercury,
was half goat.

GoatsI Notes on Goats, from Page 3.
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
Cephorenes had 2,234 of these
critters entombed with him at the
pyramid of El Gezeh. I should
also like to point out the
Capricornus has for centuries
been the 10th sign of the zodiac,
and Capricorn is a major goat con-
stellation in the southern skies.
Aware of these things, and other
goatly correlations with diverse
supernatural belief systems, I've
been surprised to find little schol-
arly 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 also
been singled out for such atten-
tion.
A little practical experience with
goats has done much to answer
my own questions regarding the
focus of goats in religious
imagery.
Since I have been "getting her
goat" for a long while, I decide to
give my wife a real one as an
anniversary present. That was ten
years ago. I've had a small herd
around my barn ever since.
Few people in our society today
have had any first-hand experi-
ence 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 associated
with things supernaturally menac-
ing, semi-human with horns.
Modern biologists know that
these animals are seasonal breed-
ers 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 con-
ception when their chances of sur-
vival are much greater.
This means that goats start to
mate around the beginning of
November-the date on the Ancient
Celtic Calendar marking the start
of a new year and the mating of
animals-Halloween.
So, what has the phototropically
triggered endoctrine system of
goat reproductive behavior got to
do with all those ancient religious
symbols and ceremonies?
You need to actually observe the
reproductive behavior of goats to
fully comprehend.
No amount of carefully com-
posed description will suffice.
The expression "horny as a billy
goat" will forever take on new
meaning if you do.
First of all,. goats (and particu-
larly male goats in the breeding
season) are capable of standing
upright balancing on their back-
legs.
Their profile is disconcertingly
human when they do. Very few
animals on this earth can be con-
fused with the human profile.
You will never confuse the silhou-
ette of a person standing in the
doorway at dusk with any other
creature unless you happen to
have a goat "standing there."
More than once I've gone out
after dark to do chores in my barn
and missed my billy goat only to.
see him out of the corner of my
eye standing upright in the shad-
ows.
He is pure white and "stands" up
seven feet tall. More than once
my heart has skipped a beat as a
result. That's not all.
At this time of year, a male goat
whose sensitive nose detects a fer-
tile female will make a most
unearthly noise. I'm not talking
about the bleating and bah-ing of
nursery rhymes. I'm talking
about a terribly human SCREAM.
In the sense of the best
Hollywood chiller. Words simply
can't do justice here. I can only
say that you are missing some-
thing till you experience it.
To my mind, it's no wonder that
goats show up in ancient imagery
where the anthropomorphic quali-
ties of a beast are feared and
sometimes venerated.
I can't quit here though; that
would be very unjust to the goats
of the world who are not per-
ceived by everyone as "bad"-
despite the fact that billy goats do
have a very musky odor and some
possibly disgusting habits, such as
urinating and ejaculating in their
chin beards.
Enlightened biologists and
capriculturalists wouldn't dream
of making value judgements
about the olfactory triggers in the
sexual behavior of barnyard ani-
mals. Looking beyond these traits
which may offend some "refined"
senses, you will discover that
goats are highly regarded by
many people.
The Arab word "Tays" is an
expression for both goat and
"nobility of bearing. "The Hebrew
term atude also refers to both
goats and prince.
Many people besides myself
have felt that goats are unusually
compatible with human behavior.
They should be. It turns out that
goats are near the top of the list,
vying for the title of oldest
domestice animal on earth.
They have been living with peo-
ple for more than 9,000 years.
During this vast expanse of time
they have been selectively bred to
meet the requirements of their
keepers.
Their value for meat, milk and
fiber has been economically very
important for much of human his-
tory.
It may be stretching it a bit to
say they h^tve been bred for g(xxl
company, but goats also display
many of the characteristics of

However, the "who's and why's"

sense of anger and, in some cases,

Osama Bin Laden?
In short. Bin Laden is the son of
a wealthy. Saudi-born business-
man. His father made millions of
dollars as the owner of one of the
largest construction companies in
Saudi .Arabia. Much of Osama
Bin Laden"s wealth is derived
from his father's prosperity.
Contrary to what many believe,
Bin Laden is not a native to
Afghanistan but rather Saudi
Arabia. He has actually resided in
many different countries, both in
the Middle East and in Africa.

Due to the complexity of issues and probfems brought on by the terroist attacks against the United
^States on Sept. 11 and the subsequent bombing of Afghanistan, there is a wide-ranging need for education
and public discussion.
To address these needs, the College of Arts and Sciences and the Political Science Association will spon-
sor, a series of sessions designed to inform and stimulate discussion of these problems, entitled, "After
September 11: Arabs, Afghans, Americans and Anthrax- A Series of Public Dialogs," Nov. 1.
The sessions will be divided into four periods. During each period, three sessions will run concurrently.
One to three faculty members will be on hand to give a brief presentation and lead each session.
A complete schedule will be posted across campus and circulated through university e-mail later this
week.
The time blocks will be: 3:30-4:45 p.m.; 5-6:15 p.m.; 6:30-7:45 p.m.; and 8-9:15 p.m.
The event will take place on the first floor of Founders Hall.
Some of the topics to be discussed include: bioterrorism, patriotism, economic impacts, historical analo-
gies, social psychology, U.S. Foreign Policy, Islam, faith-based approaches to war and nonviolence, for-
eign reactions to the crisis, feminist approaches, as well as a discussion of how to communicate with chil-
dren concerning these events in school seUings. All students, faculty and the public are welcome to attend

Flame to Fire VigU lights up the night
by Lindsey Lowrie
Clarion Call Staff Wn;ter
Thursday evening, Oct. 18, men
and women congregated on the
lawn outside of Harvey Hall to pay
homage to the survivors of rape,
domestic abuse, racism and hate
crimes. The Flame to Fire Vigil,
sponsored by Dr Deborah
Burghardt and the Women's Studies
Center, lasted about 45 minutes; but
the content of what was said during
this brief gathmng will resonate in
the ears of all whom attended for a
long time.
Tma Wagner, of Triota, gave the
welcoming, and then turned the
microphone over to Amber
Klobchar, whom spoke on behalf of
PASSAGES. Amber gave some
startling statistics on domestic
abuse.
The next speaker was Jamie
Shropshire of SAFE. Deidre
Lesesne, of Women United, spoke
eloquently on behalf of race rela-
tions by reading an original poem
that portrayed how it feels to be
someone of a minority race.
Moniqua Williams, of Zeta Tau
Alpha, represented the Susan G.
Komen breast cancer foundation.
Every year, the 2^ta Tau Alpha
sorority raises funds to donate to the
Susan G. Komen foundation on
behalf of survivors everywhere.
Alicia Shropshire invited everyone
to attend the Laramie Project, which
is a play based on the infamous town
of Laramie, Wyoming. Laramie is
where Matthew Shepard, a gay col-
lege student, was brutally killed
because of his sexual orientation.
The play runs Nov. 13-17 and focus-
es on how hate and ignorance can
grow in a small town.
Christina Yokum spoke, for the
first time in a public forum, of her
own experience involving an abu-
sive relationship. She spoke in
solemn detail about being abused for
years and never having the courage
to speak up against it. Christina gave
a heartfelt plea to all young women,
and even men, who are in or have
ever been in an abusive relationship,
to speak out and get out.
The next woman to share her story
was Jacque Walsh, a representative
of STAR (Students Together Against
Rape). Jacque, for the first time,
explained how she was raped at the
age of 16 by her longtime boyfriend.
Emotions filled her speech as she
explained how she was afraid to tell
anyone for years. Jacque said that
after the incident she had told two of
her longtime childhood friends, and
they did not believe her. This took
away her courage to tell anyone else
or seek help for years. She echoed
Christina's plea to never be afraid to
tell someone and to know it is not
your fault.
Jolene Painter, also of Triota, led
the closing to the Vigil. All in atten-
dance lit candles to remember those
who are not victims, but survivors,
of rape, domestic abuse, racism, and
hate crimes. A networking reception
followed immediately after the vigil
with artwork by Carrie Knapton.
If you or someone you know has
been a victim of any of these crimes
and needs someone to talk to, visit
the Counseling Center in Egbert
Hall. In addition, PASSAGES and
SAFE can each be contacted 24
hours a day.
Initiative! from Front Page
Every activity must be open to
all Clarion University students,
and events must be held on cam-
pus. However, certain ideas for
off campus activities may be
given special consideration by
Senate.
Senator McCabe encouraged
organizations to "pair-up" when
hosting events, however organiza-
tions who choose to do this must
inform the Rules, Regulations, &
Policies Committee when submit-
ting applications.
Treasurer Clopp advised organi-
zation members to be creative and
to program wisely. Vice President
Gring said Senate recently pur-
chased a publication entitled
"5,000 Weekend Programming
Ideas" at the national conference;
this book is available in the
Student Senate office in Room
269 Gemmell.
Organization representatives
present at the meeting received an
event proposal form and a Budget
Request form for the spring
semester. These documents must
be completed and turned in to the
Student Activities office by
Friday, Nov. 9, 2001.
According to Vice President
Gring, if two organizations were
to propose the same event, activi-
ties would be approved on a first-
come, first-serve basis.
Senator McCabe said those
organizations who did not attend
the meeting would have their
accounts frozen, upon approval
by Senate, until they meet with
Student Senate to obtain proper
information. Those organizations
that fail to turn in their forms by
the specified date will have their
accounts frozen as well.
President Chervenak recognized
the fact that the Weekend
Programming Initiative may not
work perfectly from the begin-
ning. However, that is why the
initiative will be reviewed at the
end of the 2002-2003 school year.
He said, "We understand that
100% of the students will not
come to these events the first year
this program is running, but this is
to be expected. The program is a
success though, even if only a
small percentage of the students
take advantage of the events. We

are not only giving students some-
thing more to do on the weekends,
also giving them an alternative to
only alcohol-related events on the
weekend."
Vice President Gring believes
the plan will prove beneficial by
providing students with opportu-
nities to engage in non-alcohol
related activities and by prompt-
ing more students to spend their
weekends on campus.
She said, "Student Senate gives
about 75 organizations money to
use however they choose, so for
organizations to give back two
hours to the students is not asking
a lot."
Clarion University students
seem to have mixed feelings on
the new initiative. Senior Brian
Monico, Vice President of the
National Student Speech
Language Hearing Association
(NSSLHA) said, "I think it's a
good idea to increase student
involvement in non-alcohol activ-
ities; however smaller organiza-
tions, such as NSSLHA, which'
include major-specific members
most likely won't have a large
turnout since they're not as well-
known on campus. Unless the ini-
tiative is publicized throughout
the university, then their sched-
uled events could turn out to be
just another organizational meet-
ing."
Senior Julie Obleski, president
of the International Association of
Business Communicators (lABC)
believes the outcome depends on
student cooperation.
She said, "It's hard to predict
how this program will turn out. I
can see the positive effects for the
students, but it will need 100%
student support for it to work."
Senior Melanie Kondor,
President of the Society of Human
Resource Management (SHRM)
shared a similar opinion.
She said, "I think it's definitely
a good thing that they're trying to
get students more involved and
trying to get ihem to stay in
Clarion on weekends. I just hope
people actually take advantage of
it."
Upon conclusion of the meeting,
members of Senate welcomed any
questions regarding the program.
They expressed appreciation to ail
representatives for attending the
meeting and to all organizations
for, working with Senate to imple-
ment the new Weekend
Programming Initiative.

sion at the meeting Thursday,
Oct. 18.
The first event discussed was

Another event scheduled for
next month is an open forum
"Round Table" discussion, Nov.
14, at 7 p.m., in 252 Gemmell.
Although the topics of discussion
are subject to change due to stu-
dent participation, they may
include: political, racial and work
issues.
"I hope we all walk away from
the discussion with something
we've learned," said Ian
Wingfield, president of BSU.
Scheduled for Nov. 17, BSU
will be holding their own "Gong
Show" at 7 p m. in Hart Chapel.
There is a $1 admission and all

ond and third place winners.
A discussion about a guest
speaker for the Spring 2002
semester concluded the meeting.
"The Executive Board is work-
ing very hard," Wingfield said.
"Everybody is doing a good job
making the organization produc-
tive and positive for students at
Clarion University."
The next BSU meeting will be
held Oct. 25, at 6 p.m. in 265
Gemmell.

Faculty Senate
Collier announces new meal plan
by Adam Berteotti
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Student Senator Jackie
Collier announced at the
Facuky Senate meeting on Oct.
22, a new meal plan that would
be available to off-campus stu-
dents.
The meal plan will consist of
$100 in flex. The students also
may add to their accounts by
$25 increments. As with flex
dollars for on-campus students,
the flex dollars are not refund-
able.
Collier also talked about the
Weekend Programming
Initiative Student Senate had in
mind to keep students on cam-
pus over the weekends. It had
been sighted that a large num-
ber of students leave the cam-
pus on weekends. Student
Senate would like to put togeth-
er positive based activities to
interest the student body to stay
on campus.
Dr. Susan Prezzano, professor
of the anthropology depart-
ment, reported on a meeting of
the Admissions Subcommittee
that took place last week. The
meeting discussed issues of the
number of people that inquire
about Clarion University com-
pared to the number of students
who actually enroll. There is an
average of 45,000 people that

inquire about Clarion, where as
a small fraction of that number
enroll.
Possible solutions discussed
were to target out of state areas,
like Cleveland, and large home
state areas, like Pittsburgh, with
more awareness of the campus
in Clarion. Another idea was to
lower out-of-state enrollment
fees.
Prezzano added that another
strong selling point for the
University is that all courses
are taught by Ph.D.s or the
equivalent. She also mentioned
of targeting high school stu-
dents in organizations such as
the Summer Academics and
programs run by the honors
program.
Mrs. Susan Traynor, professor
of the CIS department
announced at the meeting that
three programs were delayed in
the curriculum. An A.S. in
Occupational Therapy and a
M.A. in English will be effec-
tive for Fall 2001. A B.A. in
Earth Science will be effective
in the Spring 2002 semester.
The Senate voted to take
courses ED 217

in the Classroom) and ED 225
(Multicultural Education) of

cation.

Weekend Programming Initiative passes with unanimous vote
by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
Members of Student Senate
voted unanimously Monday
evening to pass the motion to
freeze accounts of all organiza-
tions not present at the Weekend
Programming Initiative meeting.
Funds will be unfrozen with per-
mission from Student Senate via
contact with Mr. Lee Krull's
[Business Manager] office.
According to Vice President
Missy Gring, Senate will not re-
notify these organizations
because each CSA-funded orga-
nization had previously received
information regarding this mat-
ter. President Ben Chervenak
said a representative from these
organizations should take a few
minutes to meet with Senate in
order to obtain the information
needed to comprehend this pro-
gram.
In other business, Treasurer
Tom Clopp moved to allocate
$1,250 from the Supplemental
Reserve account to ARATE for
registration to their national con-
ference. Treasurer Clopp pointed
out to Senate that although repre-
sentatives of ARATE did not

Programming Initiative at ttieir meeting, Oct. 22.
complete a lot of fund-raising
activities, they have performed
over 350 hours of community
service. In addition, members
attending the national confer-
ence would be presenting infor-
mation, thus representing the
university.
According to ARATE President
Joe Fiedor and Vice President
Adam Osterrieder, there is cur-
rently only one member of their
organization who is not in the
Clarion University Honors
Program. However, they are
establishing a public relations
committee to recruit new mem-
bers; ARATE is open to any stu-
dent who would like to promote
academic excellence.
After Senate unanimously
passed Senator Mike McCabe's
motion to call to question, they
passed Treasurer Clopp's origi-
nal motion by a 13-2-6 vote.
Treasurer Clopp had also
moved to allocate $850 from the
Supplemental account to the
Leadership Institute for their
2001-2002 budget. The motion
carried 20-0-1.
Senator Tameka Washington,
chair of the Committee on Sub-
Committees, presented three
motions to Senate. First, she
moved to appoint Mrs. Diana
Anderson-Brush and Dr.
Elizabeth Donato to the CSA
Board of Directors as faculty
representatives; the motion
passed by a 21-0-0 vote.
Next, Senator Washington
moved to appoint Clarion
University students Keegan
Bauldoff and Christina
Baumgartel to the CSA Board of
Directors; this motion carried
21-0-0 as well.
Finally, Senator Washington
moved to appoint Senator
Rebecca Emert, Senator Jen
Reis, and Parliamentarian
Wendy Kengor to the Foundation
Advisory Board; the motion
passed 20-0-1.
Treasurer Clopp reported, on
behalf of the UAB, upcoming
sand volleyball activities Friday,
October 26 behind Campbell
Hall. In addition, UAB is spon-
soring Patricia Gagliardo, who
will be presenting "Voices from
Beyond" Sunday, Oct. 28 at 8:00
p.m. in Hart Chapel.
Mr. Krull announced trans-
portation to southeastern parts of
Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving
break. A bus is scheduled to
depart from Campbell Hall
Tuesday, Nov. 20, at 3:30 p.m.,
and will return on Sunday, Nov.
25.
Senator Dustin Tudor, chair of
the Housing Concerns
Committee, tried to abolish the
rumor that there would be no
freshmen parking available next
year. He said students should not
be alarmed; this is only a myth.
Treasurer Clopp reported the
following amounts in each of the
accounts: Capital, $86,415.43;
Large Item Capital, $434,892.64;
Supplemental, $13,306; and
Supplemental Reserve, $50,510.
Finally, Vice President Gring
announced Senator Jackie
Collier as Senator of the Week.
Senator Collier said, "1 am very
appreciative of the student body
for electing me to be a Student
Senator this year. Things with
my committee are going excel-
lent, and I'm looking to imple-
ment some more positive
changes on campus this year."
The next Student Senate meet-
ing is scheduled for Monday,
Oct. 29, at 7:30 p.m. in 246
Gemmell.
Accounting Club receives achievement award of excellence
by Kelly Drevitch
Clarion Ca'j Staff Writer
The .Accounting Club
recently received the Clark
Johnson Gold Achievement
Award of Excellence. The
Institute of Management
Accountants (l.M.A.) pre-
sents this award every year
to a college level account-
ing club that demonstrates
involvement in various pro-
grams and projects. These
programs and projects must
show knowledge in the
accounting field.
The Accounting Club par-
ticipates in programs like
Voluntarily Income Tax
Assistance (VITA) and the
Special Olympics. The
VITA program occurs each
spring when the Accounting
Club performs tax returns
for the elderly and low
income tax groups. With
this, these groups avoid
paying high costs to profes-
sional accountants
Colleen Faller, Vice
President of the Accounting
Club said, "I contribute us
winning to our dedication
and ambition. We work hard
and hold a couple monthly
meetings. Also, the contin-
uous speakers we host real-
ly pointed us in the right
direction on the accounting
road."
During the meetings, the
.Accounting Club often
hosts different speakers.
Usually, these speakers
cover different contempo-
rary accounting issues.
From public accounting and
the CPA exam to corporate
accounting and non-profit
organizations, these speak-
ers provide the members
with in-depth information
and trends. In addition, the
Accounting Club attends
l.M.A. Seminars.
Also, the Accounting
Club holds an annual spring
field trip to a Pittsburgh
accounting firm. With this,

members experience a
"hands-on" view of the
daily routine of a larger
firm. Immediately after the
field trip, the members
attend a Job Fair.
Conveniently, the Job Fair
is designed for Clarion
members only, and this
allows them to network
their names into the busi-
ness world.
With all their programs
and activities, the
Accounting Club prepared a
report to show their
progress and future goals in
the accounting world for
the l.M.A. Besides winning
this year; the Accounting
Club has won six out of the
last seven years. Clarion
competes against at least 30
other schools for this
award.
The l.M.A. also congratu-
lated the club for their
increase in membership. In
fact, the Accounting Club
increased their membership
to 70 students. Martha
Whalen, Accounting Club
Secretary said, "The
increase in membership is
exciting. I am just excited
about the whole award."
Mrs. Patton is the
Accounting Club advisor.
The officers include:
Lynette Snyder, President;
Colleen Faller, Vice
President of Meetings; Matt
Mastarone, Vice President
of Membership; Lisa Kahle,
Vice President of Publicity;
Mike Mangieri, Treasurer;
Martha Whalen, Secretary;
Mark Mackewich, l.M.A.
Liaison; and Joseph Deza,
Career Liaison.

.... .'?!?.'■.'?.". .*9?.'! .^^^ Writer
I was talking to one of my
friends before I sat down to write
this and mentioned that I'd gone
to Michelle's Cafe Tuesday
evening to hear Clarion's own
Roots Rising. "Oh yeah, I like
them, but 1 can't ever stay
awake. ..they're so relaxing!
Especially if I'm in one of tho.se
big chairs. It's all over then."
they said.
The show Tuesday was really
everythmg you would expect if
someone told you "acoustic set
at a college-town coffeehouse ;'"
candles flickering before the
band, the ungodly roar of the
steaming machine in the back-
ground, and three dudes sittin',
chillin', and jammin'. Hey, I
was game. The night was so
crappy outside, an exhibit of
17th century anything would
have gotten me in out of the
rain. Nothing personal, Roots
boys.
I grabbed my bagel and tea and
settled in to be the rock critic
guy. Tron Valentine (bass/gui-
tar) came over and greeted me,
as he was not in the first few
songs for the evening. I asked
him a little about the band,
including some song titles from
the setlist (as I'm horrible at
remembering such things, even
with a notepad in front of me).
Roots Rising is usually com-
prised of five people strumming
to their heart's content, but their
set on Tuesday was a pared-
down trio. ..Valentine, Kris
Piemonte on Guitar, and Todd
Henzler on vocals. The impres-
sive 2-hour set was in fact very
relaxing; had I been in one of the
armchairs and not preoccupied
with some rather delicious pecan
pie, I would've been out too.
The evening's set featured a
number of original songs,
including "Hero," "Greatest
Day," "The Root." and "Wait,"
while also offerinti a few crowd-
pleasing covers (DMB's "Jimi
Thing," Staind's "Outside," and
Bob Dylan's "Knocking on
Heaven's Door"). For those less
familiar with the boys' sound, I
suggest the following musical
cocktail: add equal parts (listen-
able) Bob Dylan and Dave
Matthews with a twist of angst
rock just for flavor. A pleasing
aural array to say the least.
Overall, the atmosphere was
part study hall, part VHl
"Storytellers." with the crowd
equally into the music and their
own homework or newspapers.
While we all had things to do
during the show, however, it was
never that Roots look on a back-
ground-noise connotation. ..a
glance at my fellow cafe patrons
showed plenty of thoughtful toe-
tapping.
Among the accolades Roots
Rising have accumulated
includes playing WDVE's Battle
of the Bands concert at
Washington-Jefferson
University.
You can catch Roots Rising
every Tuesday night at Michell's
Cafe at 7 p.m. every week.
Roots Rising does show a lot of
promise. After hearing them in
the "quintessence" triad. I'd love
to hear them as their full-tledged
"rock band." Keep up the good
work boys.

Drew Barrymore takes you for an emotional Ride
by Martisse Macri
Clarion Call Staff Writer
It's every teenage girl's
worst nightmare - getting
pregnant. Riding In Cars With
Boys, based on the true story
of Beverly Donofrio (set in
the 60s), stars Drew
Barrymore as Beverly, a
young girl who gets pregnant
at the age of 15. The father of
her baby, Ray, played by Steve
Zahn says he loves Bev like
no one else will, and wants to
marry her.
Before I go any further, I
should give this warning -
GUYS: definitely not a movie
for you, a total "chick flick."
LADIES: don't take your
boyfriend to see this; go with
your friends.
Bev decides to keep the baby
but doesn't want to marry Ray
because she doesn't love him.
When she finally works up the
nerve to tell her parents that
she's pregnant, her parents
want her to marry Ray, but she
tells them that she has her own
plans. She wants to work and
raise enough money to move
to New York City to attend
school, bringing her son,
Jason, with her.
also shows the trouble she
puts Jason through, due to her
belief that he is the reason she
has never accomplished her
dreams. This movie portrays
how she was finally able to
raise her son after his father
turns to drugs and leaves the
family.

Music Review
Air delivers a failed, but noble experiment
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestj'les Editor
ARTIST/ALBUM: Air,
10,000 Hz Legend.
FOR FANS OF:
Schizophrenic electronica,
lounge music on acid.
FOR FURTHER LISTEN-
ING: Beck's Mutations;
Stereolab's Emperor Tomato
Ketchup; Syd Barrett-era Pink
Floyd.
With their 1998 release.
Moon Safari, French band Air
became the hipster's favorite
band to name-drop. They
were relatively unheard-of up
'till that time, played cool-as-
ice, spaced-out lounge techno,
had stylish and iconoclastic
animated videos. ..for God's
sake - they came from France!
Moon Safari landed on many
year-end best-of lists, and Air
were crowned as a visionary
force to be reckoned with.
While Air decided how to
deal with all this adoration,
they released a collection of
early songs and b-sides to bide
time, and scored the Sophia
Coppolla film. The Virgin
Suicides. Both soundtrack
and album went on to become
critic's darlings, especially
the darkly seductive
"Playground Love'" single.
That move was cause for many
people to label them the new
Pink Floyd, as they moved
further from their bedroom-
encounter electronica to a
more drugged, band-based
sound; decidedly less user-
friendly, and more avante-
garde. Moon Safari was their
Piper At The Gates Of Dawn,
The Virgin Suicides was their
Obscured By Clouds, and the
long-awaited new album was
sure to be the second coming
of Dark Side Of The Moon.
Not quite. Perhaps taking a
cue from Radiohead, Air com-
pletely turned everyone's
expectations on their head
with 10,000 Hz Legend. The
album is a grab-bag of styles,
influences and sounds, at once
coherent and unfocused.
Hipsters everywhere mourned
the loss of their flagship band.
The main difference between
Moon Safari and 10.000 Hz
Legend is this: ...Safari is an
album to have sex to, and
...Legend is an album to take
on your brain." Sexy, huh?
It seems as if Air delights in
tormenting their fair-weather
fans. "How Does It Make You
Feel?" is a complete mockery
of Moon Safari and those who
are enraptured by it. Seamless
choirs and synthesizers are
whispering sweet nothings in
your ear, but then a computer
voice materializes to deliver
tongue-in-cheek lines such as
"You are the most beautiful
drugs to. There are precious
few moments on ...Legend
that's designed for romantic
encounters; the breezy corne-
ous of "All I Need" and
"Kelly Watch The Stars" have
been supplanted by the acid-
fried psychedelic folk of "The
Vagabond" and the glam-rock
leanings of "Radio #1."
Where sultry females crooned
lines such as "You make it
easy to watch the world with
love," there are now comput-
erized vocals warning you that
they "want to patch my soul

entity that I've ever dreamed
oL" The chorus is one big
taunt; it's not a lover asking if
their partner is fulfilled, it's
the band jeering at the listen-
er, daring them to accept Air's
new identity.
The only concession to the
Moon crowd is the seven-
minute mood-piece that is
"Radian." Building from a
droning synth loop and word-
less "ohhhh-ohhhh" vocaliz-
ing, "Radian" explodes in a
burst of vibrant harps and
playful flutes. Capped off
with a lyrical yet understated
acoustic guitar, "Radian" is
the only song off of 10,000 Hz
Legend that you would put on
a mix CD for "that special
night." Yet it also functions
as a joke, too. It's sort of like
saying "look what we can do,
but this is all you're going to
get." It's one big tease.
Most of 10,000 Hz Legend
occupies this half-awake.
half-dreaming state; the
majority of the songs are
down-tempo, but certainly
aren't meant to be seductive.
"Lucky and Unhappy,"
"Caramel Prisoner,"
"Electronic Performers" -
these tracks and more are the
heart of ...Legend, which is
the record's biggest drawback.
Impressively constructed as
they are, at times it seems like
Air is too willfully trying to
change their sound - they're
too forced, not natural
enough. Besides providing a
frame for noises that seem
really trippy, there really isn't
much substance behind them.
Lack of quality songs is
really the only thing that holds
this back from being a truly
great record. That fact is even
more frustrating when you
look at how Air has previously
excelled in that area - the
songs from Moon Safari and
Virgin Suicides hold up under
intense scrutiny and many
repeated listens, whereas
...Legend just gets flaky
around the edges after a few
spins. ...Le^e/!c/ has great per-
sonality, wonderful produc-
tion and execution, but the
skeleton is just too brittle in
too many places. But Air-
heads willing to stick with it,
...Legend will reveal a few
gems.
"Radio #1" is the album's
first true highlight, and
sounds nothing like Air's done
before. Less Tangerine Dream
and more Low-era David
Bowie, "Radio #1" rides a
rotund groove and percussive
organ arrangements. Air
makes great use of guest
vocalists Ken Andrews and
Jason Falkner, resulting in
what sounds more like the
work of a full band, and less
like studio tinkers. "Radio
#1" proves that with a strong
foundation. Air can pretty
much accomplish anything
they wish. "People In The
City"' replicates the sound of
that song, albeit with a
stronger focus on the synthe-
sizer; less melodic and more
rhythmic.
"The Vagabond," which fol-
lows, is a continuation of
Air's exploration of a more
organic sound. Featuring
guest singer Beck (yes, that
Beck), "The Vagabond" is a
wonderful slice of easy-going
folk-rock, yet refracted
through a prism of odd-ball
synthesizers and program-
ming. It also marks the first
time Air has traveled outside
of the realm of sex, as far as
lyrics go. The tale of a drifter
who's searching for deeper
meaning, "The Vagabond" is
brought to life by Beck's
keening multi-tracked vocal.
Elsewhere on ...Legend. Air
just gets plain freaky, as in
"Sex Born Prison." A minor-
key dirge is interrupted by a
prog-rock explosion of key-
boards and fuzz-guitar, fol-
lowed by a chorus of Japanese
girls singing God-knows-
what, perhaps a love song to
Mothra.
Perhaps if Air had tightened
their focus and concentrated
on writing a stronger batch of
songs, ...Legend would be a
truly wonderful trip around
the dark side of the Moon
Safari. But as it stands, it's an
album of modest pleasures and
half-baked experiments. With
luck, they'll come into their
own with this new sound on
the next record, and we can
look back on ...Legend as a
tentative transitional album. 3
out of 5 stars.

"Music From a Painted Cave" comes to Clarion
story courtesy of
University Relations
Native American musician Robert
Mirabal will present "Music From a
Painted Cave" at Clarion University
of Pennsylvania on October 3 1 at 8
p.m. in the Marwick-Boyd
Auditorium. Tickets for the concert
are $8 and $4 for students with a valid
Clarion University identification
card.
Mirabal is a leader of the Native
American musical renaissance. He
builds his melodies on the rituals that
have surrounded him his entire life at
Taos Pueblo in New Mexico.
He grew up with his mother and
grandparents and went to an Indian
school where he learned to play many
musical instruments. His want to per-
sue a musical career took off when he
learned to play the flute at age 18.
"They say the flute chooses you,
and it certainly has changed my life
since then," says Mirabal. "I've spent
most of my time traveling and playing
music."
Mirabal recorded an album with
money borrowed from his grandmoth-
er. He went on to record five albums
for several music labels. He has trav-
eled all over Europe. North America.
Russia and Japan. The music of other
cultures has als(^ influenced his style.
He learned Japanese Taiko drumming,
rhythms from West Africa and Haiti,
picked up Celtic music, and immersed
himself in rock, blues and hip-hop.
"Music From a Painted Cave" draws
on all those influences. This is
Mirabal's first large-scale, multime-
dia production. It features his band,
Rare Tribal Mob. on cello, electric
guitar, didgeridoo, vocals and percus-
sion. Special lighting effects create
the illusion of a petroglyph-filled
cavern in which the performance
takes place.
"Music From a Painted Cave" grew
from work on an album in 1997.
Mirabal made his music scmnd differ-
ent on the album This album and
others helped him twice earn the
Songwriter of the Year award at the
Native American Music Awards, and
Best New Age Artist by Amazon.com.
His album, Taos Tales, broke into the
Top 10 of the New Age charts.
"I wanted to make an album that
explored all of the things people
experience, love, hate, fear, confusion
and especially the loneliness that
seems so pervasive in modern soci-
ety." says Mirabal. "I wanted it to
have a rock and roll edge."
Mirabal filmed the work as a special
for PBS during three performances at
the Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut.
He used visuals and segments of the
history of the Taos Pueblo, and black
and white stills of everyday life on
the reservation for the special.
Dave Barry tells us how to have fun with gas
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
A man — we'll call him
"Harvey" — went to see a doctor,
complaining of tiredness, bruises
all over his body, shooting pains,
and quotation marks around his
name. The doctor immediately
recognized these symptoms:
"Harvey" had a snoring problem.
At night, he was being jabbed
repeatedly by his wife, trying to
make him shut up. Also, some-
body had apparently been shooting
him.
Yes, snoring is a serious health
problem, one that affects more
Americans than shark attacks and
Rep. Gary Condit combined. Yet
many people — and here I am in
no way referring to my wife —
refuse to admit that they snore.
Even if they routinely emit noctur-
nal noises that cause shingles to
fly off the roof, they will be out-
raged that you would leap to the
conclusion that they are the source
of the snoring, without consider-
ing other explanations, such as that
a third party, unknown to either of
you, is sleeping in your bed.
Women — and once again I am
NOT referring to my wife — tend
to be the worst snoring-deniers,
because women are taught from an
early age that it is not feminine to
emit any noise or aroma that
would indicate that they are bio-
logical organisms. Men, on the
other hand, consider bodily func-
tions to be a highly masculine
form of manliness. That's why
men are not afraid to haul off and
let go of a hearty burp, often as a
way to emphasize a rhetorical
point (Four score and seven
BWOOOOOOOOOOORP years
ago...).
Men also take pride in another,
even more basic, bodily emission,
which, because this is a family
newspaper, I will refer to by its
technical name, "making a tooter."
This is a popular thing to do when-
ever males gather together. As a
youth, I was a Boy Scout, and
while I know that scouting is a fine
activity that has taught countless
young men important leadership
and character-building skills, the
major activity in my particular
troop was slicing the Muensten
We'd go on a camping trip, and for
dinner we'd consume huge quanti-
ties of Campbell's brand Pork 'n'
Mainly Beans, and by nightfall the
hills were alive with the sound of
tooting. Eventually the entire area
would be blanketed by a giant
mushroom cloud of Boy Scout gas
that caused flocks of migrating
geese to reverse course ("Turn
back! We're spending the winter in
Canada!").
Medical science tells us that, one
way or another, the average man
releases 6,000 metric quarts of gas
per day, and significantly more if
he is in an elevator Meanwhile,
the average woman, striving to be
feminine, is keeping all that gas
bottled up inside her body. This
results in an enormous pressure
buildup that can, later in life, cause
an explosive and embarrassing
medical condition known as "The
Mount Vesuvius Syndrome." This
is precisely why one well-known
woman — who, out of respect for
her privacy, I will refer to here
only as "The Queen of England"
— is accompanied at all times by
men with bagpipes.
At this point, it might be a good
idea for all of us to go back to the
beginning of this column to see
what our topic is. OK, there it is,
snoring. As I was saying, most of
us snore, even though — and I am
STILL not in any way referring to
my wife — we refuse to admit it.
But what is snoring? Medically,
it is when air has trouble getting
past the uvula,' which is a part of
your body that sounds like a dirty
word but is actually not. You are
free to say it in polite company, in
sentences such as: "I hear Todd
has a huge uvula."

Many people besides myself have felt that
goats are unusually compatible with human
behavior. They should be. It turns out that
goats are near the top of the list, vying for the
title of oldest domestice animal on earth. They
have been living with people for more than
9,000 years. During this vast expanse of time
they have been selectively bred to meet the
requirements of their keepers. Their value for
meat, milk and fiber has been economically
very important for much of human history. It
may be stretching it a bit to say they have been
bred for good company, but goats also display
many of the characteristics of companionable
dogs and appear for more responsive than most
barnyard animals in their interactions with
humans.
Time and progress has eroded the place
of goats from both the barnyard and the minds
of modern people. There arc ik^ longer signs
for us of diverse sentiments ranging from fear
to friendliness. The symbolism of goats in
religious expression along with goats them-
selves has faded away in our rapidly changing
world. Goats are not longer cost efficient.
Occasionally a glimpse of earlier
understanding will flicker in our contemporary
society through the perspective of rare reflec-
tive individuals who perpetuate them in more
secular art.. Picasso captured some of these
ancient sentiments when he made a lifesize
bronze figure of a goat which he kept in his
own yard. Locally, one of Clarion's finest
artists has f(>cused on the imagery of the goat,
and is currently featured in the Sanford
Gallery.
As Halloween apprnaches, remember
that some things that go hump m the night
might be gi)ats. or they ma\ he >ur\ iving shad-
ows reflecting the lost sentiment ^of your early
ancestors.

Clarion to honor seniors during I.U.P showdown
Courtesy of Sports
Information
Clarion will honor nine seniors
in pre-game ceremonies this
Saturday, October 27th, as the
Golden Eagles prepare for num-
ber five ranked I.U.P. in the
rugged PSAC-West. Kickoff at
Memorial Stadium is set for
1pm.
Recognized in pre-game cere-
monies will be Ben Boldin,
Doug Diegelman, Jason Flora,
Demetric Gardner, Tom
Gaydosz, Chris Janson, Mike
Mangieri, Andy Pore and
Dennis Yu.
I.U.P. leads the series between
the two schools 46-22-3 dating
back to 1927. In the last ten
meetings, I.U.P. holds a slim 6-4
lead. Over the past five seasons.
Clarion has won three times to
I.U.P.'s two.
Last year the Golden Eagles
defeated the Indians 21-13 with
a big second half. In 1999 at
Memorial Stadium, I.U.P. posted
a 26-0 shutout, while in 1998
I.U.P. notched a 52-14 win.
Clarion also recorded big wins in
1997 (21-6) and 1996(49-15).
Clarion enters the game with a
3-5 overall record and a 1-3
mark in the PSAC-West. Clarion
opened the season with road
losses to East Stroudsburg (33-
27) and Youngstown State (44-
0), defeated Tiffin (27-14), lost
at Shippensburg (34-29),
notched home wins against
Kutztown (36-7) and California
(29-22), lost at Edinboro (24-12)
and lost last week's game 33-24
to Slippery Rock.
Head coach Malen Luke, in his
8th season at Clarion, has an
overall record of 40-44 and a
PSAC-West mark of 21-25. His
14-year collegiate record is 77-
65.
I.U.P., ranked 5th last week in
the AFCA coaches poll and 6th
in the D-2 Football ranking,
enters the game with a 6-0 over-
all record and a 4-0 mark under
16th year head coach Frank
Cignetti. The Indians opened
2001 with two home wins
against Findlay (31-10) and
Lock Haven (42-0), a road victo-
ry at Slippery Rock (23-7), a
return home to defeat PSAC-
East power Bloomsburg (23-12),
a 37-7 win at Shippensburg and
last Saturday's 21-6 win at Miller
Stadium over Edinboro.
Cignetti has an I.U.P. record of
147-37-1 and a 20-year overall
collegiate record of 164-64-1.
Clarion's offense will receive a
stern test this week from I.U.P.'s
nationally ranked defense. The
Golden Eagles are averaging
351.8 yards of offense per game
(6th in PS AC) including 245.4
rushing yards (3rd in PSAC) and
106.4 passing yards (13th in
PSAC) per game.
Junior quarterback Adam
Almashy has completed 48 of
137 passes for 786 yards and 6
touchdowns with 8 interceptions.
He has also rushed for 324 yards
and 2 touchdowns on 116
attempts. In his career he has
completed 265 of 606 passes for
3,724 yards and 34 touchdowns.
He has also rushed for 703 yards
and 10 touchdowns on 374 car-
ries.
The running game will feature
Demetric Gardner at fullback,
with halfbacks Robert Walker
and Glenn Lovelace.
Gardner broke the single game
rushing record at Clarion last
week. Gardner rushed for 257
yards against Slippery Rock,
breaking the old record held by
Mickey Catello, who rushed for
256 yards in 1966 against I.U.P.
Gardner now leads the team with
728 yards and 5 touchdowns on
118 carries this season. He ranks
7th all-time with 1,706 yards and
12 touchdowns on 317 carries
(5.38 p/c).
Walker is next with 451 yards
and 10 touchdowns on only 68
carries. In two seasons he has
1,051 yards and 15 touchdowns
on only 143 attempts, an average
of 7.34 per carry. Lovelace has
also contributed 274 yards and 2
touchdowns on 50 tries.
Clarion's top receivers include
wideout Mike McCullum and
tight end Andy Pore. McCullum
leads the team with 19 catches
for 334 yards and 3 touchdowns,
while Pore has latched onto 8
passes for 187 yards and 2
touchdowns.
The Golden Eagle defense is
giving up 337 yards per game
(8th in PSAC) including 180
rushing yards (8thin PSAC) and
157 passing yards (7th in
PSAC).
Up front the Eagles are led by
noseguard Doug Diegelman,
George O'Brien, and Tom Pore.
Outside linebackers Chris
Janson and Kevin Platz protect
the perimeters.
Janson is the leading tackier in
the PSAC with 77 hits, and is
also #1 in tackles-for-losses with
14. Platz has posted 28 stops and
6 tackles-for-losses.
Inside linebackers Dennis Yu,
Tom Gaydosz and Scott
McGrady anchor the middle.
The secondary will see corner
Myron Hargon return this week
after missing last week with a
leg injury. Hargon leads the team
with 4 interceptions, while
Kevin McKeither and Jhermel
Goss also handle corner duties.
Soccer team suflfers loss to Kutztown
by Steph DeFlorentis
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The Golden Eagle soccer team
suffered a disappointing loss to
Kutztown on Tuesday, Oct. 23
during an away game. The team
battled it out, but ended with a
final score of 0-4.
The Clarion women had to deal
with multiple injuries during the
game. Many players had to
switch into unfamiliar positions.
Also, many players who do not
normally play full games filled
in for the injured.
Two starters, Tara Harrington
and Caitlin Relly, were out of
the game due to injuries.
During the first half, the
Golden Eagles played hard, but
were not in tune with one anoth-
er. They failed to play the game
the way that they practiced and
played in past competitions.
*
During the second half, the
team had a chance to make a
come back. Despite of this
opportunity, the offense could
not connect with the net and
failed at scoring a goal. The
team began to work better dur-
ing the second half, but it was
too late.
Alisha Turner lead the offense
with a strong game. She made
several attempts on goal, but
none of them connected with the
net.
The team hopes to improve
their season record and has set a
season of goal of two more vic-
tories during the two upcoming
games this weekend. They will
play the final two games of the
season on Oct. 27 and 28.
"We didn't play our game. We
have two games left to prove
ourselves," said sophomore
Dawn Jackowski.

The Golden Eagles suffered a disap-
pointing loss to Slippery Rock this week-
end at Clarion's Memorial Stadium.
Slippery Rock tailback, Dorrian Glenn,
scored on a 25-yard run with 1:11 to play
and gave the Rockets a 33-24 win over
Clarion in a rugged PSAC-West contest.
Slippery Rock raised its overall record
to 4-3 and 2-3 in the PSAC-West, while
Clarion dropped to 3-5 overall and 1-3 in
the PSAC-West.
Slippery Rock's Glenn finished the day
with 200 yards and three touchdowns on
28 carries, including a 44-yard touch-
down run in the first quarter. Glenn
rushed for a Slippery Rock record of 355
yards at California.
He had 38 attempts and rushed for four
touchdowns. His 335 yards were the sec-
ond most in PSAC history behind
Millersville's Ricke Stonewall who had
350 yards against New Haven in 1982.
Glenn is number two in the PSAC this
season, averaging 15 1.2 yards per game.
He has 907 yards and 12 touchdowns on
133 carries (6.8 per carry).
Clarion fullback, Demetric Gardner,
had a record day for the Golden Eagles.
Gardner rushed for a single game record
of 257 yards on 30 carries. Gardner
broke Mickey Catello's former record of
256 yards set in 1966 against I.U.P.
Going into the game, Gardner lead the
team with 471 yards and four touch-
downs on 88 tries. He ranked ninth on
the all-time rushing list with 1,449 yards
and needed only 27 to move past Geoff
Alexander's 1.475 yards (1981-84) to
move into seventh place. Gardner now
holds seventh on the all-time rushing list.
Clarion trailed the Rock 26-18 late in
the fourth quarter when the Golden
Eagles scored on a fourth down, 28-yard
pass from Adam Almashy to Mike
McCullum with only 3:57 left in the
game. Clarion's Robert Walker was
stopped inches short on the two-point
conversion run to keep the Rockets
ahead 26-24.
Slippery Rock converted a key third
and fourth down on its final drive. Glenn
dashed 44 yards on third and 10 at its
own 28, then scored his final touchdown
on a 25-yard run on fourth and seven at
the Clarion 25 to secure the victory.

Camera missing from Communication Department

Clarion Call Edi^^^
The Communication depart-

The camera, which was kept
in the new multi-media lab
downstairs in Becker Hall, was
discovered missing last
Wednesday morning.

the camera could have been
taken is between Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning.
Hilton said at one point she
left the room last Tuesday and
shut the door behind her, but it
wasn't locked. She said the
camera could have been taken
then or after she left.
Hilton also said she
had her hands full when
she left for the evening,
and the door probably
wasn't closed all the
way.
Jill Brennan, a com-
munication major,
stopped by Hilton's
office that evening to
give her a project. The
time was approximately
7:30 p.m., Brennan
said.
Brennan said she
"She (Hilton) asked me if I
had noticed the camera when I
dropped off my project, and I
hadn't," said Brennan.
"She said I would have had to
have reached over the camera
in order to have placed my pro-
ject where I did."
The camera wasn't insured,
therefore, it cannot be replaced.
The camera was available to
students on a sign-out basis. It
is now lost to students who
could use it, Hilton said.
"It's disturbing when equip-
ment we try to make available
to students is taken by one self-
centered person," Hilton said.
The incident has been report-
ed to Public Safety.
Anyone with information
regarding the camera should
contact Public Safety at 393-
2111.

Camera missing from Communication Department

The Communication depart-

The camera, which was kept
in the new multi-media lab
downstairs in Becker Hall, was
discovered missing last

Dr. Sue Hilton, a professor of
the Communication depart-
ment, said the possible times
the camera could have been
taken is between Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning.
Hilton said at one point she
left the room last Tuesday and
shut the door behind her, but it
wasn't locked. She said the
camera could have been taken
then or after she left.
Hilton also said she
had her hands full when
she left for the evening,
and the door probably
wasn't closed all the
^ way.
" Jill Brennan. a com-
munication major,
stopped by Hilton's
office that evening to
1^ give her a project. The
time was approximately
7:30 p.m., Brennan
said.
«^ Brennan said she
talked to Hilton last Thursday
before her class to make sure
she received her project.
"She (Hilton) asked me if I
had noticed the camera when 1
dropped off my project, and I
hadn't." said Brennan
"She said 1 would have had to
have reached over the camera
in order to have placed mv pro-
ject where I did."
The camera wasn't insured,
therefore, it cannot be replaced.
The camera was available to
students on a sign-out basis. It
is now lost to students who
could use It. Hilton said.
"It's disturbing when equip-
ment we try to make available
to students is taken by one self-
centered person." Hilton said.
The incident has been report-
ed to Public Safety.

Discrimination on campus
Clarion University's campus is
exhibiting more and more nar-
row mindness.
Ever since the Sept. 11 tragedy
people have been trying to place
the blame on someone. Our
nation is targeting Osama Bin
Laden as the responsible party
for all the terrorism.
Students on this campus are
associating all international stu-
dents and faculty as being tied to
Bin Laden.
The University has told stu-
dents of African or Middle
Eastern descent to lay low.
One of our professors is afraid
to go out in public without
friends because despite the fact
that he is from India, people
identify him as a potential ter-
rorist.
Another group which is being
discriminated against are gays
and lesbians. A student was
attacked last week in Nair Hall
because of his sexual prefer-
ence.
Clarion students need to get
past their discriminatory percep-
tions. People with dark skin are
not necessarily planning bomb-
ings and people with different
sexual preferences are not nec-
essarily deserving of beatings.
Even before the tragedies took
place on Sept. indiscrimination
has been taking place here.
Whether it was dirty looks,
name calling, or racism in gen-
eral. Some of us have been deal-
ing with this basically all of our
lives.
Although discrimination still
exists we are becoming more
tolerant and being more open
minded with alternative
lifestyles. A good example is the
upcoming production of The
Laramie Project.
This production deals with the
Matthew Shepard story. He was
a gay college student who was
tied to a fence and left for dead.
His story made people aware of
the discrimination and how bad
it actually is.
The times are changing and
peoples' thoughts and actions
also need to change with the
times. Whether we like their
lifestyle or not, they are entitled
to happiness and to decide what
they want to do with their life.
Just because their lifestyle
might not be what some people
call "normal" they are entitled to
do as they please and not to be
criticized for the choices they
make.
We, as a University, need to
think outside of the box and
treat people of all races and ori-
entations with respect.

•• V^hen ] first laid
eyes on the campus, I
fell in love with every
aspect. §9
-Kylee Ebersole
Editorial, Kylee Ebersole
When I was thinking about what
I could do my editorial on, my
mother suggested comparing
Clarion and how it was thirty
years ago to how Clarion is today.
My sophomore year of high
school my mother and father
brought me to Clarion because
my mother wanted me to see
where she went to school. When I
first laid eyes on the campus, I
fell in love with every aspect.
When coming to Clarion last
year, my mom couldn't believe
that she was taking her daughter
to college, but she also couldn't
believe she was taking her daugh-
ter to the school she graduated
from twenty-six years ago.
This year when my mom came
up to visit over ALF she started
talking about how much Clarion
University and Clarion the town
have changed since she has been
here.
The first change she brought to
my attention was when she grad-
uated almost thirty years ago, she
didn't graduate from Clarion
University, she graduated from
Clarion State College. I could not
get over that the name has
changed in just thirty years.
The next big change she
brought to my attention was that
there were two giant pieces of
sculptures, which use to stand
outside of Gemmell. That area is
now called "the outside perfor-
mance area." She told me that the
sculptures were quite large and
brightly colored. One of the
pieces of art was bright orange
and the other was bright yellow.
I also found out that she did not
have Gemmell when she was
here. The Student Union was
located in the bottom of Harvey
Hall. Now Harvey Hall is used
for classes and offices.
Then my mother looked at me
and told me that unfortunately
some of the things at Clarion are
the same. When she was here
they had demonstrations because
of the Vietnam War, and that peo-
ple would streak to get peoples'
attention. The was twenty-six
years ago but now today we are
basically having the same prob-
lems.
With all of the terroristic acts
that have taken place, she feels
that we are going through the
same circumstances that they
went through in the 70s.
Towards the end of our conver-
sation I asked her if Givan Hall
has changed at all since she had
lived there. She started to laugh
and told me it hasn't changed at
all on the inside, but the rules
have changed.
When she lived in Givan, they
had to sign in and out anytime
they left the Residence Halls dur-
ing the evening hours. She also
said that the doors were shut and
locked at ILOO p.m. every night.
The last thing she pointed out was
when she lived in Givan Hall,
was that they had a house mother
on duty at all times.

Stengel hacked
apart the language
with vigor 99
-John Crawford
Hyde Park, Casey at the Mic
With the World Series upon us,
it seems appropriate to republish
the words of Casey Stengel.
Stengel was manager of the New
York Yankees during the 1950s, at
the height of both the club 's great-
ness and baseball 's magnetism in
America.
In 1958, the Senate
Subcommittee on Anti-trust and
Monopoly called Stengel to testi-
fy, along with other greats of the
sport.
At issue was whether baseball is
merely a sport, or it is is a busi-
ness. The Yankees were the most
accused of all the clubs. Stengel's
testimony would become a his-
toric speech for reasons too
absurd to believe.
On more than one level, Mr.
Stengel's words comprise a mon-
ument of the language. Often crit-
ic and contradictory-and fre-
quently just perplexing-Stengel's
statements are a meandering
exploration for truth by a too-
plain man threatened on both
sides by power
A man who was, in his sport,
equal to Phil Jackson, managed a
speech deserving of Mike Tyson.
Stengel hacked apart the lan-
guage with vigor Indeed, it is
telling that he mentored Yogi
Bera, known to have turned an
odd phrase or two. His statements
are very humorous, if uninten-
tionally so. His testimony was an
episode that was both silly and
sad.
We now refer to the
Congressional Record, July 9,
1958...
SENATOR KEFAUVER : Mr.
Stengel, are you prepared to
answer particularly why baseball
wants this bill passed?
MR. STENGEL : Well, I would
have to say at the present time, I
think that baseball has advanced
in this respect for the player help.
That is an amazing statement for
me to make, because you can
retire with an annuity at fifty and
what organization in America
allows you to retire at fifty and
receive money?
I want to further state that I am
not a ballplayer, that is, put into
that pension fund committee. At
my age, and I have been in base-
ball, well I will say I am possibly
the oldest man who is working in
baseball.

I would say that when they
start an annuity for the
ballplayer to better their condi-
tions, it should have been done,
and I think it has been done.
I think it should be the way
they have done it, whch is a
very good thing.
The reason they possibly did
not take the managers in at that
time was because radio and
television or the income to ball
clubs was not large enough that
you could have put in a pension
plan.
Now I am not a member of the
pension plan. You have young
men here who are, who repre-
sent the ball clubs.
They represent the players
and since I am not a member
and don't receive a pension
from a fund which you think,
my goodness, he ought to be
declared in that, too, but I
would say that it is a great thing
for the ball players.
That is one thing I will say for
the ball players, they have an
advanced pension fund. I
should think it was gained by
radio and television or you
could not have enough money
to pay anything of that type.
Now the second thing about
baseball that I think is very
interesting to the public of to
all of us that is the owner's own
fault if he does not improve his
club, along with the officials in
the ball club and the players.
Now what causes that?
If I am going to go on the
road and we are a traveling ball
club and you know the cost of

transportation now-we travel
sometimes with three Pullman
coaches, the New York Yankees
on the road and all, that it is the
best, and we have broken them
in every city but New York and
we have gone out of the city of
New York.
Of course, we have had some
bad weather, I would say that
they are mad at us in Chicago,
we fill the parks.
They have come out to see
good material. I will say they
are mad at us in Kansas City,
but we broke their attendance
record.
Now on the road we only get
possibly 27 cents. I am not pos-
itive of these figures, as I am
not an official.
If you go back fifteen years of
so if I owned stock in the club,
I would give them to you.
SENATOR KEFAUVER : Mr.
Stengel, I am not sure that I
made my question clear.
MR. STENGEL : Yes, sir.
Well, that is all right. I am not
sure I am going to answer yours
perfectly, either.
SENATOR O'MAHONHY :
How many minor leagues were
there in baseball when you
began?
MR. STENGEL : Well, there
were not so many at that time
because of this fact: Anybody
to go into baseball at this time
with the educational schools
that we had were small, while
you were probably thoroughly
educated at school, you had to
be-we only had small cities that
you could put a team in and
they would go defunct.
Why, I remember the first year
I was at Kankakee, Illinois, and
a bank offered me $550 if 1
would let them have a little
notice.
I left there and took a uniform
because they owed me two
week's pay. But I either had to
quit but I did not have enough
money to go to dental college
so I had to go with the manager
down to Kentucky.
What happened there was if
you got by July, that was the
big date. You did not play night
ball and you did not play
Sundays in half of the cities on
account of a Sunday obser-
vance, so in those days when
things were tough, and all of it
was, I mean to say, why they
just closed up July 4 and there
you were sitting there in the
depot.
You could go to work some-
place else, but that was it.
So I got out of Kankakee,
Illinois, and I just go there for
the visit now.
SENATOR CARROLL : The
question Senator Kefauver
asked you was what, in your
honest opinon, with your forty-
eight years of experience, is the
need for this legislation in view
of the fact that baseball has not
been subject to anti-trust laws?
MR. STENGEL : No.
SENATOR LANGER : Mr.
Chairman, my final question.
This is the Anti-monopoly
Committee that is sitting here.
MR. STENGEL : Yes, sir.
SENATOR LANGER: I want
to know whether you intend to
keep on monopolizing the
world's championship in New
York City.
MR. STENGEL : Well, I will
tell you. I got a little concern
yesterday in the first three
innings when I saw the three
players I had gotten rid of, and
I said when I lost nine what am
I going to do and when I had a

Political Probe
Propaganda: The war behind the war
i
by Jason Erb
Clarion Call Staff Writer
This article was originally
intended to cover the bases of
both propaganda and the usage
of special operations personnel
in the war on terrorism.
So much can be said on both
topics that I've decided to
focus this week's Political
Probe on one of these topics,
propaganda.
Since the official beginning
of the military onslaught of US
led forces in Afghanistan, there
has been another ongoing war
both in the Middle-East and at
home. This is a war not fought
with guns and ammunition, but
rather, it's a war that is psycho-
logical in nature.
This war is being waged by
more than military forces. It is
a war fought by the militaries,
the press and by the govern-
ments on both sides of the war
on terrorism.
I'm referring to the art of
propaganda. War time propa-
ganda is not a new form of
warfare. It has been used
throughout history during
wartime activities to promote
political, military and social
ideologies.
Probably the most notable,
but certainly not the only
example of war time propagan-
da occurred during World War
II by Adolph Hitler and the
Nazi Party.
Germany, under the authority
of Hitler and the Nazi Party,
created pamphlets, advertising
and even movies to promote
their movement. Much of their
propaganda showed huge
crowds of people lining streets
in support of Adolph Hitler and
the Nazi Party.
Other propaganda used by
the Germans involved taped
inspirational speeches by
Hitler in front of large groups
of military troops. They even
attempted to persuade young
children to become extremely
nationalistic. This would
ensure that there would be
troops at the Nazi Party's dis-
posal in the future.
The art of propaganda con-
■ :>-;-:-;..-'';';v-:-:¥:->^
•:x:-:j:i:v:|:;<^:S
tinues today. In Afghanistan,
the United States and its allied
countries are not only dropping
bombs but also relief aid to
Afghan refugees.
Along with the food and sup-
plies are pamphlets which
include, in some instances, a
picture of an American soldier
shaking hands with a man from
Afghanistan.
Also on these boxes of food
are American flags. Messages
of peace between the United
States and the Afghan people
are also being dropped in mass
quantities over locations of
refugee campsites.
This is, of course, to show
the people of Afghanistan that
we are not fighting a war
against them but rather against
the Taliban and their political
and military associates.
On the other side of the coin,
the Taliban also is using propa-
ganda within Afghanistan to
convince the citizens the US
and the allied forces are wag-
ing war against the people and
their religion.
This propaganda also is
reaching bordering countries.
This not only sparks Anti-
American sentiment but also
attempts to persuade key geo-
graphical countries to side with
Afghanistan.
Are these techniques working
in our favor? The majority of
people receiving the relief aid
from the air lifts are uneducat-
ed, homeless refugees.
Although the pictures may be
somewhat effective, the pam-
phlets may not be working as
well as we had hoped.
The majority of these people
are illiterate and therefore,
unable to read the writings on
the pamphlets. The food itself
acts as propaganda as well.
This may be the most effective
way to gain support from the
Afghan people.
In a country that is stricken
by drought and famine, food is
a universal language. It has
been reported that fights have
broken out among those
receiving these packages. One
man was even seen tearing
open a bag of wheat and eating
its contents raw.
In these packages, you will
not find any meat or other
foods that contradict the reli-
gion in the area. Typically,
these packages contain grains
and fruits. This intrinsically is
a sign of cultural understand-
ing, acceptance and peace.
Other forms of propaganda
involve a demoralizing aspect
of psychological warfare. For
example, the Taliban has
reported the US has bombed
hospitals and places of busi-
ness.
They are releasing this infor-
mation on a national and inter-
national scale. This is intended
to make the US and its allies
look as though they are target-
ing not only military strong-
holds but also the civilian pop-
ulation.
The US has disputed many of
these claims, saying that the
number of civilian casualties is
overly exaggerated by the
Taliban reports. As is the case
in most arguments, the truth
probably lies somewhere in the
middle of both claims.
As unfortunate as it is to
report, civilians close to the
warfront do die during wartime
activities. This is an ugly truth
concerning war. One of the
goals of war is to minimize
civilian casualties as much as
possible, with the understand-
ing that eliminating such casu-
alties is all but impossible.
The number of casualties is
often exaggerated or underesti-
mated by opposing nations to
promote their respective ide-
ologies.
President George W. Bush is
not above propaganda either.
He continues to attempt boost
the morale of American citi-
zens by delivering patriotic
televised speeches.
He also has done his best to
show the American public that
it is safe to live their lives as
they had prior to the events on
September 11. He visited
"ground zero" shortly after the
events took place and gave a
moving, nationally televised
speech alongside volunteer
workers at the site.
This was not only to boost
the morale of the volunteers
and the country but also to
show a sense of safety in a
time of uncertainty. Having the
president visit, what many saw
as the most vulnerable area in
the country, was a sign of
strength and security.
It was also intended to send a
message to those responsible
for the dastardly events that
America would not back down
from or be scared by terrorism.
The most recent usage of pro-
paganda by President Bush was
seen on Tuesday night in New
York City. Game three of the
2001 World Series, pitting the
New York Yankees against the
Arizona Diamondbacks, was
held at Yankee Stadium.
Fear is often associated with
large crowds during these
times of terrorist activities.
This was the first World Series
game to be held in New York
this series.
This put Yankee Stadium
under the spotlight and on the
worldwide stage. Rumors and
assumptions engrossed many
in New York and worldwide
concerning the safety of the
people in the stadium, which
was being seen as a prime tar-
get for terrorist activity.
The flag that had previously
flown on the World Trade
Center was flying high above
Yankee Stadium on Tuesday
night. It was supposed to be a
representation of America's
will, torn and battered yet
intact and lifted. It also acts as
another form of propaganda as
did the ceremonial first pitch.
The first pitch is historically
thrown out by famous people
from the city in which the
game is being played.
Examples include Drew
Carry's first pitch in Cleveland
and Jerry Seinfeld's first pitch
in Shea Stadium, New York.
The first pitch in game three
of this year's World Series was
thrown out by former Yale
relief pitcher and current pres-
ident, George W. Bush, who
gave up his pursuit of a profes-
sional pitching career in col-
lege when he was warming up
in the bullpen during a game
involving a ten-run lead and
his coach decided to bring in
the second baseman as a pitch-
er instead.
This marks the first time a
president has thrown out the
first pitch in a World Series
game since 1956 when Dwight
D. Eisenhower threw out a first
pitch. This was as much about
propaganda as it was about
baseball.
Not only was the president in
the most vulnerable place in
America, but he was center
stage. It was a sign of confi-
dence and an added sense of
normalcy for Americans. It
also was a sign that not even
the most powerful person in
America will be scared by ter-
rorist activities.
Bush threw a strike.

New flex meal plan option for off-campus students
by Kelly Drevitch
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Off-campus students will have
another meal plan choice next
semester. Clarion University will
introduce the tlex only meal plan.
With this, students will deposit
$100 for a tlex only meal plan.
This meal plan will allow stu-
dents to eat at the Gemmell
Snack Bar, Ritazza Coffeehouse,
Chandler Dining Hall, and the
soon to open. Doubletree Bake
Shop.
This new feature will be located
in the basement of Chandler
Dining Hall and tentatively will
open the third week of November.
Students will access their
accounts with their ID cards and
flex dollars will be set up as
declinmg balance.
When a student purchases food,
the cost is automatically deduct-
ed. Students can add extra flex
dollars in $25 increments.
As with flex in other meal plans,
remaining flex dollars at the end
of thespring semester will be for-
feited.
Student Affairs debated over
this meal plan idea last semester .
The Food Service held a round
table discussion and interviewed
over 400 people, including stu-
dents.
Students responded positively
to the idea and Student Affairs
decided to implement the meal
plan for at least a full year.
After that, they will evaluate
the meal plan and its popularity
among students.
Debbie Boyles, executive assis-
tant to the vice president of stu-
dent and University Affairs, said,
"This plan has been talked about
for years. But, in the past, stu-
dents like board meals better.
Now, students like tlex more. I
hope students take advantage of
the different ct)ncepts this new
meal plan offers."
Students reacted positively to
the new meal plan.
Meredith Monkelis, a senior
psychology/sociology major,
said, "This is a brilliant idea. All
the good food is only available on
flex anyways."
Tosha Barbour, a junior com-
munication major said,"It's
excellent for off campus stu-
dents."
Colleen Faller, a senior account-
ing major, said,"It's about time. It
figures they would wait to my last
semester. For the last three years I
have lived off campus, I dreamed
they would develop this new flex
plan. At least I can enjoy it for
one semester."
Other excited students noticed
the financial savings.
"Finally, this plan gives off-
campus students a chance to save
money," said Jessica Froehlich, a
junior communication major.
Martisse Macri, a senior com-
munication major, said, "Look at
the difference between prices. Of
course, I want to pick the cheaper
meal plan."
In addition, other students with-
out current meal plans responded
positively too.
Carrie Bullman, a sophomore
secondary education major said,
"This excites me. I do not have a
meal plan now, but this is an awe-
some idea. I will definately get
one next semester."
Vince Arienzo, a junior elemen-
tary education major agreed with
Bullman.
"I currently do not have a meal
plan, but I will take advantage of
one next year," he said.
Jon Miles, a sophomore sec-
ondary education major, also
agreed with them.
He said,"This is the best thing
since sliced bread. I'm tickled
they decided to do this. I do not
like to worry about using my
board. Now, I do not have to."
Andrew Patterson, a senior sec-
ondary education major said,
"This is great. I love the flex meal
plan."
Mark Miller, senior business
management major said, "I think
I like this idea, I'm excited to
purchase this next semester."
Any interested student can
obtain an agreement card from
228 Egbert Hall (Residence Life).
Students must check the Ilex only
meal plan box and return the card.
Tote bag distdbution occurs across the region
Contributed by
Bill Buchanan
In an effort to promote the
Department of Library
Science's rapidly expanding
programs, the Special Libraries
Association (SLA) Student
Chapter has developed funding
for promotion tote bags which
are being distributed at profes-
sional meetings and recruitment
fairs across the region.
"The tote bags are really sort
of mini billboards that people
carry around," explained
William Buchanan, associate
professor of library science and
one of the advisors to the SLA
student group.
He said that each tote bag
includes the department's web
address, email address, toll free
number and lists all teaching
locations and degrees.
According to Marilyn Harhai,
associate professor and another
of the group's advisors, the tote
bag project is one of the group's
many service-oriented efforts
designed to both accomplish a
specific service outcome (in this
case, student recruitment) as
well as to accomplish a learning
objective.
"Our degree programs are pro-
fessional in nature. That is,
they are designed to educate
students to enter a specific pro-
fession with the knowledge,
skills, and abilities needed to
function in that profession,"
explained Harhai.
Part of that education, she
said, is learning how to develop
and manage projects that are
short term in nature but that
have specific and long-term out-
comes.
In this case, the students want-
ed to assist the department in
promoting its new degree pro-
gram in Philadelphia as well as
its existing programs in
Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Clarion,
and on the Web.
"The tote bag project was
ideal for this," she said. "It cre-
ated an advertisement that will
continue to benefit the depart-
ment as long as people carry the
tote bags around."
Buchanan noted that the tote
bag project was funded through
seed money provided by SLA
and through mini grants written
by SLA students and advisors.
The grants were funded by the
College of Education and
Human Services and by the
Division of Graduate Studies,
both at Clarion University.
The combination of money
from various sources enabled
the students to purchase 700
tote bags that are being distrib-
uted across the state and the
region.
The bags are made out of
fibers spun from recycled plas-
tic bottles.

Saturday Service Days a success
by Shannon Sankey
Clarion Call Sta^^^
Clarion University recently
held its Saturday Service Days
event on Sept. 22.
Nearly 70 students, faculty,
family members and friends
took part in the successful event
and devoted their day volun-
teering their time at a non-prof-
it agency.
Clarion University's Saturday
Service Days, (formerly known
as Clarion University's Service
Plunge) is an opportunity for
individuals to volunteer their
time at a non-profit organiza-
tion where they have an interest
of getting a hands-on experi-
ence.
Diana Anderson-Brush, coor-
dinator of Saturday Service
Days, is extremely pleased with
the program.
"I truly enjoy working with
Saturday Service Days," said
Anderson-Brush. "This is one
opportunity that everyone
should take advantage of."
Saturday Service Days occurs
once a semester, and planning
begins two months prior to the
event, including details of
recruiting agencies, transporta-
tion and sponsors.
This semester's main sponsor
for Saturday Service Days was
Adelphia Communications.
Over 100 agencies are regis-
tered with the Saturday Service
Days.
They are notified of the date
and can propose a project for
individuals who wish to partici-
pate in the event.
There are a different number
of agencies that register every
semester. The Sept. 22 event
had nine participating agencies.
When individuals enroll for
the program they have the
opportunity to pick the site in
which they would like to volun-
teer.
Some of the sites include the
Allegheny Search and Rescue
Dog Team, Beverly Healthcare-
Clarion, Clarion County
Literacy Council, Clarion
County Special Olympics and
the Clarion County Historical
Society.
Once registered, individuals
are treated to a continental
breakfast and then meet with
their team.
A team consists of a recruit
site leader from the organiza-
tion, a team leader (someone
who is participating in the pro-
gram and has completed team
leadership training), and the
individuals who are volunteer-
ing at the site.
Once the team has become
acquainted, they are off to their
destinations to complete their
service.
Some of the services that were
completed on Sept. 22 include
training to become tutors at the
Clarion County Literacy
Council, manual labor, and hid-
ing in the woods to assist the
search and rescue dogs for the
Allegheny Search and Rescue
Dog Team.
Recruitment for Saturday
Service Days is a year round
effort. Other volunteering
opportunities also occur within
each semester, as there is
always something that can be
done.
Individuals who are interested
in the program can stop in the
community service office or can

Student Senate
Student Senate denies International Association's proposal
by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
Student Senate Vice President
Gring moved to deny the Clarion
University International
Association's proposal regarding
the Weekend Programming
Initiative during the seventh meet-
ing of the 2001-2002 academic
year.
According to Vice President
Gring, the International
Association asked Senate to per-
mit their previously scheduled
activity for Friday, Nov. 12, at
Hart Chapel to qualify as their
event for the Weekend
Programming Initiative.
However, Vice President Gring
said every organization must hold
an activity in the Spring 2002
semester. In addition, she said
Senate is not requiring organiza-
tions to host large, costly events.
Rather, as long as organizations
are creative and abide by the
Weekend Programming Initiative
guidelines, then their event would
be permitted.
Treasurer Tom Clopp also said if
Senate granted this request for one
organization, they would be oblig-
ated to do the same for all organi-
zations in similar situations.
Student Senate passed Vice
President Gring's motion to deny
the request by a 20-1-0 vote.
Next, Vice President Gring
moved to approve the revised
committee list for the 2001-2002
academic year. According to
President Ben Chervenak, some of
the committees have been
rearranged in order to make
Student Senate stronger as a
whole.
Some of the changes include
Senator Jackie Collier as chair of
the Rules, Regulations, &Policies
Committee, Senator Sarah Snyder
as chair of the Dining Concerns
Committee, and Senator Rebecca
Emert as chair of the Student
Facilities Committee. The motion
passed 21-0-0.

Brashear kicks ojff eighth annual Social Equity Week
by Khalia Robinson
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Clarion University kicks off its
eighth annual Social Equity
Week by welcoming "Man of
Honor" retired U.S. Navy diver
Carl Brashear.
Brashear, the first African-
American Navy Master Diver
will help jump start Clarion's
Social Equity Week by giving the
keynote address.
Brashear, whose life was
depicted by Cuba Gooding, Jr. in
the movie "Men of Honor" over-
came many obstacles to become
the highly decorated man that he
is.
Brashear joined the Navy in
1948, the same year that
President Truman desegregated
the military.
Though Brashear only received
a 7th grade education, his unde-
niable determination led him to
receive the equal treatment and
recognition that he deserved.
After losmg half his leg during
a nuclear warhead recovery in
1966. Brashear convinced Navy
officials that he was fully capa-
ble of performing his military
duties and eventually earned his
master diver certification.
Among Brashear's well earned
trophies in the Veterans of
Foreign Wars 2001 VFW Armed
Forces Award. (Colin Powell
received this award in 1980.)
In 1988, Brashear became one
of only seven enlisted men in
history to have a 164-page vol-
ume transcription of an oral his-
tory of his life and career pub-
lished and enshrined.
Brashear's visit to Clarion is
sponsored by the Martin Luther
King Jr. committee and the
Office of Social Equity.
This year's theme is
"Achievement Through
Diversity." Other equity week
events include a roundtable
panel, "Diversity as a compelling
interest" in 250-252 Gemmell
from 11:30 a.m.- 1:30 p.m. on
Nov. 7th; and the social equity
dinner and awards ceremony in
Chandler Dining Hall from 6-9
p.m. on Nov. 9.
In order to attend the round-
table panel and/or the dinner you
must RSVP the Office of Social
Equity no later than Nov. 5.
All events are free and open to
teh public.
Equity week was started by
Delphine Djossou, student sena-
tor and first chair of the social
equity committee in 1994. The
events began as a one day event
on Nov. 29, 1994 as a result of a
proclaimer from the late
Governor Robert P. Casey.
The proclamation stated:
/ am pleased to send warmest
regards to everyone celebrating
"Equity Day" at Clarion
University.
The United States has often
been called a "melting pot" of
cultures and traditions. In
Pennsylvania, we are especially
proud of the many ethnic commu-
nities which make up our great
Commonwealth. Their various
heritages blend together to cre-
ate a cultural mosaic that
envelopes the life and history of
Pennsylvania.
Today's reception, which will
formally recognize Clarion's U
equity based organizations and
their efforts create a more
diverse atmosphere at the uni-
versity, is an important step in
improving relations between dif-
ferent groups and peoples. By
striving to develop a more cul-
turally conscious environment,
Clarion is setting a fine example
for other universities and for all
of us to follow.
On behalf of all
Pennsylvanians, I commend
everyone involved in this effort,
and offer best wishes for an
enjoyable event.
Signed Robert P. Casey.
In Nov. 1995, the celebration of
social equity became a weeklong
event.

Campo proves to be a masterful poet and humanitarian
by Beth Genemore
Contributing Writer
Clarion University had the priv-
ilege of hosting accomplished
poet and physician Rafael Campo
last Thursday evening. As part of
the visiting writer's series Campo
graced students, faculty, and
guests with his warm presence by
reciting his fanatically crafted
poetry. Rafael Campo's titles
include: The Other Man was me:
k Voyag to the New World, which
won the National Poetry Series
Award, What the Body Told,
which received a Lambda Literary
Award in 1996. and the most
recent. Diva. Campo has also pub-

University Relations
!Poet Raphael Campo
lished a book of essays titled. The
Poetry of Healing: A Doctor's
Education in Empathy, Identity,
and Desire, which in 1997 also
received a Lambda Literary
Award. Presently he is teaching
and practiciiig medicine at Beth
Israel Deaconness Medical Center
and Harvard Medical School. He
is also teaching Literatur at
Brandeis University, in Boston,
where he resides. As you can see
this is a very busy man, therefore I
felt quite lucky to have the oppor-
tunity to get to know him better
I was assigned to read Campo's
latest book Diva for my poetry
class, and from first glance fell in
love with it. I notice the precise
and intricate embedded rhyme and
vivid imagery reaching out and
breathing life into his verse. I
couldn't help but read it over and
over again to better grasp the
meaning and feeling protruding
from each following word and
line. The themes echoed in his
poetry and his style mirrored that
of a confessionalist. A confession-
alist poet interwines autobio-
graphical material into poetry that
is highly weighted with feelings
and imagery. Campo does this by
tying in his Cuban heritage, sexu-
al preference, and medical profes-
sion in such a way that the reader
feels highly engaged. While he
adheres to all the criteria for ccmi-
fessionalism he is also very for-
mal. 1 asked him where he, m fact,
places himself in terms of poetic
tradition. He felt that when it
comes to living the life of a doctor
he is often intluenced not to feel
and to be overly rigid. However,
he feels that there is so much more
to the practice of medicine than
the physical care and prescription
of drugs. He is very interested in
issues of empathy and ways in
which he can use his talents as a
poet to be a better doctor.
Therefore it is easy to understand
why his writing is intertwined as
much as it is. The mixture of his
formal life as a doctor and the lib-
eral life of a writer blends to pro-
duce the beautiful verse he cre-
ates. He therefore calls himself
quite simply "Am American
Poet."
It is evident in his caring
demeanor that Rafael Campo is
truly interested in empathy and
healing. He explains how he
"encourages patients to read and
write." He feels that it is truly
important to acknowledge the link
between voice and healing. That
we should do more to the sick and
dying than "seduce them with
medicine." This is how he uses his
gift and knowledge of poetry to
aid in his profession as a doctor.
When asked how he uses his pro-
fession as a doctor to aid in his
poetry, he said that he felt that
"there are a lot of connections
between poetry and healing the
body." He says that he is very
much in tune to the rhythms that
the body makes. These Rhymes
produce in him a true understand-
ing of the "connectedness" there is
in healing and poetry.
There was also mention of the
idea of doing one without the
other. Campo loves the idea of
being a professional writer and
enjoys, at the present, teaching as
a visiting writer. However, he
feels that he would miss the con-
nections he makes with his
patients on a day to day basis. He
feels that they are an important
part to his poetry. In fact he feels
that his poetry is a channel for his
patients, calling himself a "heal-
er." He uses the term "healer" as
referring to the ancient healers
that assisted people with more
than just medicine. These healers
did exactly what Campo does;
bridge the gap between art and
science.
My time with Rafael came to a
close after his reading. A reading,
which was filled with both his
poetry and essays, all was sur-
rounding a theme of healing. He
explained to me that it is impor-
tant for him to use a theme for his
readings, although he feels that it
always tends to be that of healing.
Some of the pieces he shared
echoed themes of his patients, his
family and his heritage as well as
love, with all the apparent theme
of healing. It is apparent that
Rafael Campo is a true healer with
his hands and with his heart. All
those who had the opportunity to
meet and get to know him
Thursday evening left with an air
of hope in their minds. All of us
feeling peace in knowing that
there are tremendous people in the
world like Rafael Campo giving
of themselves all that they are in
order to heal.

seem that Hoyt killed him.
Before they kill him, they
uncover his chest of drug
money, containing over $3 mil-

to kids - Hoyt didn't know this
at the time).
Each man on Harris' squad
takes a quarter of a million dol-
lars for themselves, but Hoyt
doesn't feel right taking it.
As the movie unravels, we
find out that in a recent trip to
Las Vegas, Harris killed a high-
ranking Russian mobster in an
argument. Now, the Russian
mob is after him. Unless he

cop Jake Hoyt, played by Ethan

Harris doesn't help. Most of us

Music Review
"Stroking" the flames of rock and roll
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
ARTIST/ALBUM: The
Strokes - Is This It.
FOR FANS OF: Gritty yet
tuneful punk; jerky new wave-
influenced rock.
FOR FURTHER LISTENING:
The Ramones' debut,
Television's Marquee Moon,
Weezer's debut, Elvis Costello's
This Years Model.
Within one of my circles of
friends, the new teasing insult du
jour is "Hipster." What is a hip-
ster? Well, in previous eras,
Beatniks could be considered
hipsters, living their lives in cof-
feehouses and reading Jack
Keroac. A more modern version
would be the early 90s grunge
slacker, who also inhabited cof-
feehouses, but were too lazy to
read Keroac.
Considering that there are no
set parameters about what con-
stitutes a "hipster," we've come
up with a few indispensable
characteristics. A true hipster
will be trendy, the first person to
know about "the next big thing,"
and the first person to abandon it
with disdain when it becomes
too popular for their tastes.
They'll always know more about
the arts than you, and will prob-
ably resemble a latter-era Beatle
or CBGB's reject in appearance.
But I digress. So, you know a
hipster or two, you say? Want to
know how to impress them? Just
talk about The Strokes, and
you're in like flint. But hurry up
- this band's ascent to stardom is
moving at an astounding rate,
and then everybody '11 know
about them.
Everyone and their mother in
the music press/record industry
are falling over themselves to
proclaim The Strokes as "the
next Nirvana" or the "saviors of
rock." They might as well have
named themselves "Jesus."
But back to the Nirvana com-
parison - 1 want you to flush that
misconception out of your head
right now. If you go into this
album expecting thick slabs of
pulsating grunge angst, you will
be sorely disappointed. The
Strokes opt for a more nervy,
jerking sound; all spastic riffs
and tinny drumming, yet per-
formed with enough force to
give the songs considerable
backbone.
Nirvana always seemed to
have some covert master plan
beneath it all; perhaps to inspire,
or just exorcise demons. The
Strokes can't be bothered with

such lofty aspirations - as the
barely 21 year-olds sing in
"Barely Legal," they just "want
to mis-a-behave!"
The Strokes, though they cut
their teeth (and made their repu-
tation) in England, are pure New
York City. They're young,
angry, and considering how
they've burst out of nowhere,
more than a little mysterious.
a steady, unflashy two-chord
backbeat while duel guitarists
Albert Hammond and Nick
Valensi turn their muscle spasms
into riffs. It's all one big caf-
feine rush, with The Strokes
barely able to hold a coherent
thought for more than a moment
at a time. It's clear they're hav-
ing the time of their lives, but all
the while, continue to hold up
These guys sound like they were
raised in a vacuum, with Joey
Ramone and Debbie Harry as
their parents.
Every note they play is bor-
rowed from the playbook of
bands like the Velvet
Underground or the Ramones,
which means that The Strokes
don't often come up with an
original idea. But what they lack
in originality, they make up for
in obvious passion for the music
they play.
They try to hide that fact,
though (hipsters aren't supposed
to show emotions). Singer
Julian Casablancas is a dead
ringer for early Lou Reed, alter-
nating between mouthfuls of
gravel and off-key whoops;
bassist Nikolai Fraiture provides
the facade that this is just busi-
ness as usual.
Casablancas, who receives full
writing credit for Is This It,
proves to be the focal point for
the band. The sinewy riffs of
"When It Started" mug for the
spotlight when he's not singing,
but when he appears, all ears are
on him and his nicotine croon.
His complete disinterest and
apparent boredom is exactly
what makes him so captivating a
frontman.
The Strokes show their juve-
nile tendencies throughout the
album, particularly in the lyrics.
While the Velvet Underground
wanted to expose the dark,
writhing underbelly of the 60's
bohemian drug paradise, and the
Stooges wanted to incite a riot
against, well, everything. The
Strokes just wanna have fun.
Girls, drugs, alcohol, girls, big-
city life, and more girls are the
only things they seem concerned
about. Casablancas seems less
like the drug-addled prophet
Reed played and more like your
best friend, bitching about his
girlfriend who doesn't under-
stand why he goes out drinking
every night.
Is This It, while it isn't the next
Nevermind, is a wildly entertain-
ing trip of raw proto-punk and
garage rock. They can sound
vicious and vindictive on "Take
It Or Leave It," sleek and groovy
on "Is This It," and raucously
fun-loving on "Last Night."
"Last Night," in particular,
sounds like Jon Spencer Blues
Explosion with more talent then
they've had their entire career,
with its punchy riffs and shred-
ded vocals.
Throughout the album. The
Strokes sound like they're hold-
ing back, though. No matter
how intensely they attack the
songs ("Hard To Explain" in par-
ticular nearly careens out of con-
trol, stopping halfway to catch
its breath), it sounds like they're
not quite giving it their all, for
reasons known only to them.
They're also undeniably talented
- these guys can play, and play
well. It may seem like a bunch
of amateur hacks on the surface,
but the treatment of these songs
ensure that the 20th listen is
every bit as fresh as the first was.
If you're lucky enough to track
it down, .search out the import
version of Is This It, for both its
censored artwork and the track
"New York City Cops," which
was cut in light of the World
Trade Center collaps^ Is This It
is far from a bolt m lightning

Theatre Review
Second Series showcases students' talent
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Last weekend. Hart Chapel hosted a
showcase of plays by contemporary
humorist Christopher Durang, called
simply Durang, Durang. The four
plays were all very funny, a definite
step up from the last Second-Series
play I attended last year (in respect, I
won't remind you of which that crap-
burger was). True to the Second Series
form, the plays were simple one-act
affairs that leave all but the action and
dialogue to the audience, a nice touch
especially with the usually-experimen-
tal air that Second Series usually
brings with it.
The show opened with a monologue
by actress/co-director Becky Theilet, a
funny look at why it is we go to the
theatre. This piece was added to the
collection of plays to help out those
who may be confused later into the
show: it expressly tells us that not
everything we're about to see is a par-
ody. The monologue is very well-
done, linking such things as drama and
Dramamine in an easily followable
delirium.
Next up was Southern Belle, the only
parody play of the evening. A down-
right odd retelling of The Glass
Menagerie, Belle focused on a nearly-
deaf factory worker (Holly Bachtle), a
likeable redo of Amanda Wingfield
(Kate Williard) and the two sons, Seth
Hampton and Chad Kirkland. The fun-
niest part of this was Kirkland's feeble
character, who collected crystal cock-
tail stirrers rather than glass animals.
By far my favorite, though, was Nina
in the Morning. I found myself cack-
ling hysterically at everything from the
downright weird interplay between the
narrator and main character. The play
was a surreal offspring of equal parts
Kids in the Hall, The State, last
spring's Isadora Duncan Sleeps with
the Russian Navy, VHI Behind the
Music, and A&E Biography. Stealing
the show, though, wasn't Nina or her
Narrator friend. ..it was, hands down,
the multi-faced "children" (especially
La-La. ..I know I shouldn't laugh, but I
had to!) played by Jack Edwards. I've
never seen a gaffer's hook actually
used before, but it was a great touch.
Another little favorite of mine was
Kellie Greenawald's brutal self-hon-
esty in Wanda's Visit: "I'm so much
fatter now!"
The plays — Southern Belle, Nina in
the Morning, Wanda's Visit, and
Business Lunch in the Russian Tea
Room — featured several new faces to
Clarion's actor's guild. The shows fea-
ture Steven Gallagher, Tabbi Isacco,
Kellie C Greenawald, Travis
McGunigle, Mary Boldish, Jack
Edwards, John Banjack, Alexis
Hileman. Melissa Lynch, Casey
Bowser, Nikaela Karcher, Megan
Holmer, and Shane Fabian. The show-
case was joint-directed by Becky
Theilet and Megan Overholt. and the
project supervisor was Myra
Bullington.
All in all, the show was a real riot. It
had all the fun and fivality of Rocky
Horror with just a touch of the excel-
lent Sam Shepard showcase of a few
years back. Congratulations to the cast
and crew.

when the Pilgrims, having survived
a difficult first winter in America,
decided to express their thanks by
dressing up in comical outfits with
knickers and hats shaped like traffic
cones (ordinarily, the Pilgrims wore
bowling attire) and then went
around playing pranks with what
turned out — tragically — to be
their last remaining roll of toilet
paper, and thus as you can imagine
their second winter was no picnic
either. THAT is what Halloween is
about, but try explaining it to these
spoiled kids tcxlay, with their inex-
haustible supplies of Charmin.
Oh, sure, we still teach our chil-
dren some Halloween traditions.
We teach them that this is a time
when we buy pumpkins and carve
faces into them. But we don't teach
them the underlying spiritual reason
WHY we do this, which is that each
fall, the average American pumpkin
farmer produces 17 trillion of these
things, and if he doesn't get rid of
them, they will rot, and everything
the farmer owns, including his
smaller children, will disappear
under a gigantic cloud of flies.
THAT is why we buy pumpkins
and carve faces into them.
Maybe, this year, as a nation, we
should try to get back to a more tra-
ditional kind of Halloween. For
example, instead of letting our kids
watch modern horror movies, with
their "high-tech" special effects, we
should rent some old traditional
horror movies, such as the 1941
classic The Wolf Man, starring Lon
Chaney Jr. There is nothing at all
special about the effects in , this
movie. When Lon turns into a wolf,
you see Lon, then you see the
moon, then you see Lon again, and
... there's more hair on him! If you
l(X)k closely, you can actually see
the makeup person's hand darting
out of the frame. This prcKess con-
tinues — Lon, mcxin. Lon, moon,
etc. — until Lon has been trans-
formed, chillingly, from an ordinary
person into ... a person with obvi--
ously fake hair pa.sted all over him!
Otxxx)h! Then Lon runs around
attacking people in a maniacal fury,
caused by the fact that he is itching
like CRAZY.
I watched that movie a LOT,
growing up, and it affected me
deeply, especially when I reached
junior high school, and I was the
last member of my peer group to
develop bodily hair. I used to delib-
erately hang out under the moon,
hoping for .something to sprout.
Yes, that is the kind of traditional
movie we should shcnv our children
this Halloween, perhaps at a neigh-
borhood Halloween Party, where
we can also do traditional craft pro-
jects. Here's a fun one for you to
try' .
HALLOWEEN CRAFT PRO-
JECT; Get 24 pieces of 8 1/2 by J 1
construction paper. 12 black and 12
orange. Now cut each piece length-
wise mto 68 identical strips 1/4 inch
wide and ."^ 1/2 inches long. Form
these into loops by fastening the
ends with No. 3 staples. Now get a
7-inch by 11 -inch baking pan and
mix in the following: 7 ounces of
distilled water, one ounce of bal-
samic vinegar, one teaspoon of clar-
ified butter and 2.78 ounces of
extruded bauxite, ground fine. Now
•put both hands on your behind and
hop around the room shouting
"BOOM shacka lacka lacka!
BOOM shacka lacka lacka!" Ha ha!

The History of Chinese Astrology
The year of your birth does not just indicate your age.
According to the Chinese system of Astrology, the year of
birth indicates a certain phase or aspect of a sixty year cycle of
time. Each year begins early in the calendar year on a new
moon and is associated with one of t'welve animals. Their qual-
ities "animate" the year and color it with their distinct natures.
Which one are you?

Mens and womens swimming
Golden Eagles make wake at Pre-season Invitational
by Katie Zimnier
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The Clarion University mens and wom-
ens swim teams opened their seasons
strong last Saturday as they hosted a Pre-
season Invitational. Participating in this
meet were Clarion, Slippery Rock,
Edinboro and Indiana University of
Pennsylvania.
The womens team dominated the meet
winning every event but one. In the 400
medley relay, Abby Koch, Jessica
DiLoreto, Missy Baer and Megan
Trimbur (4:10.17) led the Golden Eagles
to the first victory of the day. Clarion
then went on to place first, second, and
third in the 1000 freestyle as Brandi
Smithson (11:02.44), Alyssa Helm
(11:07.34) and April Johnson (11:43.38)
led the pack.
In the 200 freestyle, Katie Zimmer
(2:07.34), Mary Cardell (2:10.96) and
Becky Maley (2:15.94) led the team by
placing 4th, 7th and 8th respectively. The
Eagles proved to be dominant in the 50
freestyle by taking first through sixth
place, being led by Baer (25.50),
Trimbur (25.69) and Aimee Weis
(25.79).
Koch, the lone Clarion swimmer in the
200 I.M., went on to win the event with
a time of 2:14.08. Sophomore Bethany
Bankovich also powered her way to a
victory in the 200 butterfly (2:14.58).
Transfer, Bethany Turse, (55.83) and
freshman Abby Starsinic (56.71) claimed
first and second place in the 100
freestyle.
"I did better than I expected, but the
best part was the support from the team.
They made me feel really good about my
races whether I did good or bad," said
Turse.
In the 200 backstroke, Koch (2:12.19),
Smithson (2:13.55) and Helm (2:18.44)
placed first, second, and third as well.
Top two finishers, Baer (5:15.45) and
Trimbur, (5:20.38) led the 500 freestyle.
In the 200 breaststroke, the women
claimed first through fifth place being
led by Weis (2:38.42), DiLoreto
(2:38.70) and Cardell (2:39.88).
"The team unity this year has been
great. We've been training, cheering, and
supporting each other as a team. I think
we are on our way to a successful sea-
son," said Cardell, captain of the wom-
ens team.
On the men's team, Aaron Bell, Scott
Wilson, Beau Caldwell and Bill Wright
captured first place in the 400 medley
relay (3:41.11). In the 200 freestyle, the
men finished first, second and third led
by Aaron Cline (1:50.52), Adam Lohr
(1:50.86) and Brian Monico (1:51.13).
"We're off to a great start. We've been
practicing really hard, but we had some
fast times for the first meet. We're ready
for an awesome season," stated Monico,
co-captain of the mens team.
The trio of Wright (21.86), Gary
Aughinbaugh (22.29) and Bell (22.40)
also led the team to a first, second and
third victory in the 50 yard freestyle.
The men then went on to dominate the
200 I.M. by taking first through fifth
place. The top three were Caldwell

possible tuition
increase
Courtesy of the State System of
Higher Education
The Board of Governors of the
State System of Higher Education
will seek a state appropriation of
$477.7 million next year to help
fund the operation of the 14 state-
owned universities. The request
represents an increase of $24.9
million, or 5.5 percent, over the
current year's appropriation.
The System's overall proposed
educational and general budget for
the 2002-03 school year total
$1.06 billion. The total represents
a 4.4 percent increase over the cur-
rent year's operating budget.
The universities were able to
trim more than $10 million from
the System's initial budget projec-
tions through the development of
detailed campus business plans-
called Performance Outcomes
Plans, which include a variety of
cost-saving activities.
The proposed budget includes
expected higher salary and bene-
fits costs and increases in such
essential non-personnel areas as
energy costs, instructional and
administrative equipment, library
resources, technology upgrades,
new facilities maintenance and
debt service for the Academic
Facilities Renovation Program.
Based on the current projections,
a tuition increase of approximately
$160, or 4 percent, would likely

Next year's
possible tuition
increase
Courtesy of the State System of
Higher Education
The Board of Governors ot the
State System of Higher Education
will seek a state appropriation ^^i
%4n.l million next year to help
fund the operation of the 14 state -
t>wned universities. The request
represents an increase of $24.9
million, or 5.5 percent, over the
current year's appropriation.
The System's overall proposed
educational and general budget for
the 2002-03 school year total
$1.06 billion. The total represents
a 4.4 percent increase over the cur-
rent year's operating budget.
The universities were able to
trim more than $10 million from
the System's initial budget projec-
tions through the development of
detailed campus business plans-
called Performance Outcomes
Plans, which include a variety of
cost-saving activities.
The proposed budget includes
expected higher salary and bene-
fits costs and increases in such
essential non-personnel areas as
energy costs, instructional and
administrative equipment, library
resources, technology upgrades,
new facilities maintenance and
debt service for the Academic
Facilities Renovation Program.
Based on the current projections.

$160, or 4 percent, would likely

The Universities i^ptivities
Board has been working all
semester to bring entertain-
ment to CUP for the students'
entertainment. We never real-
ly understood how much time
and preperation had to go into
planning an event such as this
one.
UAB spends a good amount
of time trying to get this event
done, and yet people still
complain because they don't
like the group which is slated
to come.
We think UAB should be
commended on this activity.
We believe the most difficult
issue in planning an event like
this one would be trying to
find a date which works with
the school and with the group
they are trying to schedule.
We think this is difficult
because UAB has to work
around the dates at Clarion
because they have to see what
times are available so that
they can hold the concert, but
the date might not work for
the band.
UAB also has to go through
the hassle of getting approval
from the correct people. If
they don't have the approval,
then we don't have the func-
tion. We think that this would
be a difficult issue to deal
with in planning this large
event.
We know some of the people
here at Clarion University are
not happy that George Clinton
is coming to Clarion, but
sometimes the majority has to
win.
We also think having P.
Funk here also appeals to
diversity on campus. After all
we did have Toby Keith last
semester, which was definite-
ly for a diverse crowd.
We know not everyone likes
the music or finds it entertain-
ing, but just be greatful that
we have the great opportunity
for a well known band to
come here.
This also would be a geat
opportunity for those who
aren't familiar with the music
to listen to something new.
Grab a group of friends and
give it a try.
We just suggest people stop
complaining and start saying
'thank you' to UAB for this
great oppurtunity. If we didn't
have them, then we wouldn't
have much of anything going
on on campus.
Just take what you can get.
UAB will never be able to
please everyone.

Breast cancer article strikes chord with student
Editors Note: This student wrote
in response to Jen DeFazio's
Breast Cancer article for Breast
Cancer Awareness Month. Here
is her story.
The day was like any other in
my sophomore year at Clarion.
Upon returning from class that
afternoon, I settled into my daily
routine of grabbing a quick snack
and watching "General Hospital."
The phone call which would
change my family's lives forever
came that afternoon. My mother
called with news from her antici-
pated visit to the doctor.
The news, however, was dark.
My mother, Linda Callahan, at
age 46, was diagnosed with breast
cancer.
The feelings and emotions I
went through at the time are
extremely hard to put into words.
My stomach sank, and I was so

emotional that I could barely
catch my breath from my heavy
sobs. For the first time in my life,
I felt totally crushed. There was
this wall which stopped my life,
and I didn't know how to make
this wall disintegrate.
I thought, "This is it." My moth-
er is going to die. I called my
roommate and best friend over to
my room and I cried. Endless
tears kept pouring out of my eyes
from this dark cloud which cast
an evil shadow on my life. I
rarely cry, especially in front of
other people. That day, I cried
like a baby.
Unconsciously and completely
unsure of the circumstances I was
crying for, that day I was cursed
and blessed. The horrific news
from my mother stunned my sis-
ters and myself.
I gained a great deal of support
from friends, that if I ever doubt-
ed the value of friendship (espe-
cially at age 20), I didn't any-
more.
True friends will be there for
you in your darkest times-I owe
Beth and Steph a big thanks for
holding me for hours that day
while I cried.
The aftermath of my mother's
diagnosis of breast cancer was
hell. The summer between my
junior and senior year, she attend-
ed chemotherapy. During Easter,
I went home to be with her after
she had a mastectomy.
She was pretty out of it then, but
nothing prepared me for the pain
of watching my own mother go
through chemotherapy. I wasn't
provided with an instructional
manual on how to be there for my
18, 17 and 4-year-old sisters.

Thousands of
years ago greyhounds
were hunting dogs for
the Egyptians. 99
-Liz Potter
Editorial, Liz Potter
When I was young I always
wanted a dog. My dream came
true when I was 19 years old
when my parents adopted a grey-
hound.
Thousands of years ago grey-
hounds were hunting dogs for the
Egyptians.
Greyhounds are now bred to
race. Greyhounds start to race
when they are 18 months old.
They can run up to 40 miles per
hour.
They used to train them with
real rabbits, but it is now illegal.
Now they are trained to chase
fake ones.
They are known for their speed,
not their endurance. They race
two times a week and they have
eight chances to place.
If they don't place they are put
away and usually sent to an adop-
tion agency. If they are not
adopted in time, they are eventu-
ally killed.
The owners o\' the dogs don't
take care of them; they buy them
for an investment. Their trainers
take care of ihem. If they lose a
race they arc neglected and
abused.
If they win a race they are
awarded with praise and food.
Greyhounds are normally fed raw
meat which is not fit for con-
sumptit)n. The trainers don't
want them to get fat so they are
only fed lultece on the days they
race.
They live in crates and they are
only allowed out four times a day
to run and go to the bathroom.
My parents decided to adopt a
greyhound because they wanted
to save one.
They adopted my dog, Brielle,
from the National Greyhond
Association in Philladelphia.
The adoption process took a long
time. Because these dogs used to
be abused, they wanted to make
sure the people adopting the dogs
will not abuse them.
My parents had to fill out many-
forms and give the agency refer-
ences. We also had to match our
personality with the type of per-
sonality we wanted our dog to
have. We wanted a dog which
was more laid back.
If you are a runner you could
pick an active dog. They also
want to know what type of pets
we had. because they wanted to
make sure they would gel along.
We only have fish and an iquana
so we didn't have to worry about
any contlictions.
We got Brielle when she was 3
years old. Brielle was abused in
her past so it took her a while to
get comfortable with us. Most
greyhounds have never seen win-
dows, stairs and have never been
in a car.
It took Brielle a while to get
u.sed to a different environment.
We've had Brielle for almost four
years now.
My parents just recently adopt-
ed another one to keep Brielle
company. To make sure they got

Can four people
walk together on one
county-provided side-
walk in this town ? 99
-Anonymous
Hyde Park, "Sidewalk Co. Selling
Public Shares'
Every week for five days I walk
to campus. Five days, I walk
home from campus. Every day I
walk on sidewalks. Every day,
other single walkers and small
groups of people, oblige me to be
the one who side-step, steps into
mud, meander around, round
about town and campus in
Clarion.
No, not oblige. Force. What is it
about two or more people walk-
ing together, with one solitary
individual walking towards them
from the opposite direction, that
threatens them to not even make
the slightest effort to temporarily
walk in single file, not even shift
a little, until the solitary person
has passed by.
Isn't the group taking up more
space? Can four people walk
together on one county-provided
sidewalk in this town?
Can even three people walk
together as a group comfortably
on sidewalks without one of them
being slightly behind anyway-the
seven o'clock principal: walking
a bit behind to the side of the
other person.
.//
So the addition of one more,
coming from the other side,
should not be such a major life
decision or adjustment to make.
You do it without thinking. Well,
many don't. Does that mean they
don't think or that they are inca-
pable of thinking? (Everyone
deserves the benefit of the doubt)
Yes, force. Assertiveness is not
an option in this case. Unless you
want to collide into one person
from the pair or group, and they
do not move, what else can you
do but to "volunteer" to be the
only one to make space for the
others.
You catch a whiff of their fra-
grance or otherwise, a glimpse of
their frown, a fragment of their
conversation, all the while trying
to maintain your balance in that
no-man's land-the space where
the concrete ends and grass/street
begins. Excuse me. Excuse you.
Is it harder to walk on air than
with an air? Students hurrying by,
dressed like young men and
women are one thing; staff,
administrators and faculty are

along, both dogs were put togeth-
er to see how they reacted to each
other.
His name is Quincy. I haven't
met him because I don't get a
chance to go home often. My par-
ents tell me Quincy is a very
active dog, and he keeps Brielle
busy.
He is still not house trained, but
he was not abused so he adapted
to my family quicker than Brielle
did.
The greyhound adoption agen-
cies are looking for people like
my family to adopt a greyhound.
If you are a dog lover and you
ever consider getting a dog,
please consider looking into a
greyhound and save a dog's life!

even more, as my own thought located about a two-minute

If that facility had not been
built within the past decade,
our options would have been
limited. My family would have
had to drive to Cleveland for
treatment. That would have
been another obstacle to over-
come that would have felt like
another setback.
I went with my mother to the
chemotherapy treatments for
the part of the summer I was
home-the rest of the summer I
had to take summer courses
here at Clarion. I held her
hand, cried for her, questioned
the doctors about every step,
and cried some more.
My mother was fortunate
enough to only have her hair
thin out. The doctors predicted
that she would not totally lose
her hair. We did purchase a few
scarves to tie around her head
to cover her thinning hair, but
she rarely used them.
I think one of the many
things I am so proud of my
mother for, is that she worked
through the chemotherapy.
Although not faced with much
of a choice, she remained at
her job, attending chemothera-
py sessions on her lunch break
every other Friday afternoon.
The sessions would knock
my mother out for the week-
end. I took on the role of moth-
er while she recuperated'. I fed
my sisters, tried to keep up
with the laundry, and worked I
overtime at my job to help out
at home. She slept most of the
weekends when she had treat-
ment-often physically nauseat-
ed from the drugs.
In between treatment weeks,
she would be so excited to go
to the beach or just to hang out
with her daughters because she
had the energy. It's the simple

activities like that we often
take for granted.
Chemotherapy is the next
horror after being diagnosed
with cancer. It is a horrible
process that is worse when you
have to watch your mother go
through il-and there is nothing
you can do to make her suffer-
ing go away.
Having your mother diag-
nosed with breast cancer is
horrible for anyone. My family
and I are fortunate enough to
have our mother today. The
cancer was detected in an early
enough stage that it could be
removed before spreading.
I know in most cases an early
detection is not always the
case. Checking yourself once a
month is the first step in pre-
venting breast cancer. Since
my mother's treatment, I now
take vitamins every day and try
to exercise a few times a week.
Maintaining a healthy life
style is important, but often
hard to do in college. I try not
to indulge in too much junk
food-but make up for partaking
in greasy foods with the vita-
mins and exercise.
I also realize that I am not
the only person on this campus
to be affected by breast cancer.
I urge female students to edu-
cate themselves on the illness.
Check if there is any breast
cancer in your family-especial-
ly on your mother's side. You
will be prone to have if it is
prominent with your mother,
aunt, or grandmother on your
mother's side.
I also ask the Clarion campus
community to respect those
affected by breast cancer and
be there for your classmates.
Education about the illness
will help everyone understand
the importance of precautions
and treatments.
So, wear your pink ribbons
beyond the month of Ocober
and never lose hope. In the
words of my mother, (and I
urge others to follow suit),
"I'm going to keep on
truckin'".

be needed next year in addition to
the increased appropriation to bal-
ance the budget. The Board of
Governors will consider the 2002-
03 tuition rate in the Spring, after
the state budget, which will
include the State System's appro-
priation, is approved.
The state appropriation covers
slightly less than half of the funds
needed to operate the 14 state-
owned universities. Student
tuition and fees provide most of
the rest.
The current undergraduate resi-
dent tuition rate of $4,016 is the
lowest charged among all four-
year colleges and universities in
Pennsylvania.
"The State System over the last
several years has developed and
implemented a series of initiatives
designed to improve both the cost
effectiveness and efficiency of our
universities," said Board
Chairman Charles A. Gomulka.
"Those efforts are showing posi-
tive results. The 2002-03 appro-
priation request is reasonable, and
necessary, to help ensure our uni-
versities will be able to continue
to offer the high-quality, afford-
able education our students and
their families have come to
expect."
The Performance and Outcomes
Plans developed by the universi-
ties will serve as business and
operating plans for the universi-
ties over the next three years. The
plans, which are updated annual-
ly, include specific program

projections and institutional goals.
The State System also last year
instituted a performance funding
program that encourages and
rewards the universities for devel-
oping programs that respond
specifically to the
Commonwealth's workforce
needs, for meeting System goals
and for producing positive results
in the areas of student advance-
ment, fiscal management and
diversity.
"Our universities are expected to
perform at the highest level," said
Chancellor Judy G. Hample.
"They continually strive to meet
the needs of their students and the
Commonwealth, and to do so at
an affordable price."
In addition to the general appro-
priation request, the Board of
Governors also approved several
special appropriations requests for
the next fiscal year. They are: $15
million for the continued develop-
ment of a shared administrative
information system; $9.5 million
for performance funding; $5.5
million to help enhance science
and advanced technology pro-
grams and to help ensure student
success; $1.8 million for social
equity initiatives; and $500,000
for the McKeever Environmental
Learning Center.
The State System earlier this
year began to implement a shared
administrative information system
that is designed to improve ser-
vices to students and faculty, to
increase operating efficiency at
the 14 universities and to produce
significant cost savings over the
next decade and beyond. The
shared system could result in cost
savings or avoidance of as much
as $29 million over the next 10
years.
In order to achieve the benefits
of the new shared system, a large
up-front capital investment is nec-
essary. The Board of Governors
plans to allocate $10 million from
this year's budget to the project
and to seek an additional $30 mil-
lion from the Commonweallh-$15
million each in 2002-03 and
2003-04 to help complete the
work.
The Board is seeking to expand
its performance funding program,
as it moves into its third year. This
year, $4.5 million, the equivalent
of I percent of the System's edu-
cational and general appropria-
tion, will be allocated to the pro-
gram. The Board wants to
increase that amount to 2 percent
next year.
In response to the need for high-
tech workers in such fields as
electronics, electro-optics,
biotechnology, bioengineering,
multimedia, software engineering,
information technology and envi-
ronmental science, State System
universities have invested signifi-
cantly in the renovation of science
facilities and the development of
new and expanded science and
technology programs. In order to
enable them to continue those
efforts, the Board is seeking spe-
cial funding to support new initia-
tives designed to increase the
number of students who enroll in
these new programs.
The Board also is asking for spe-
cial funds to support programs
that will help students succeed,
including the continued develop-
ment of distance education cours-
es so potential students may take
courses from their home or place
of work, at a time that fits within
their schedules.
The special purpose appropria-
tion for social equity initiatives
would provide for the continua-
tion of programs designed to
recruit disadvantaged students to
System universities, including the
widely successful partnership pro-
grams with school districts in and
around Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
Harrisburg, Erie, Meadville,
Bethlehem and Reading.

Every year in November
Clarion University celebrates
Social Equity Week. It is a week
that honors individuals, and
groups that create, promote and
encourage social equality on
Clarion's campus and surround-
ing community. Along with the
speakers and other events, the
university's Social Equity
office chooses a theme for the
week.
This year's theme is
"Achievement through
Diversity." Anyone who came
Monday night to see Carl
Brashear speak in Hart Chapel
would know exactly what this
theme epitomizes.
Brashear is a retired Navy
Master Diver, and also the basis
for the movie "Men of Honor."
Brashear overcame huge obsta-
cles in his life to rise to the rank
of Master Diver, and his appear-
ance was an excellent way to
kick off Social Equity Week.
The other main event for this
week is the Social Equity
Dinner, to be held on Friday at 6
p.m. in Chandler Dining Hall.
This event is organized with
the work of the university's
Student Senate and the univer-
sities Social Equity Office. The
three-hour banquet features
musical and other entertainment
throughout the night, awards
and honors given to students,
faculty, administration, and
other community members or
groups.
The dinner also features
speakers from the campus, as
well as one Keynote speaker.
This years' keynote speaker is
Dr. Mary Burger, who is the
Vice-Chancellor for Academic
Planning and Policy for the
State System of Higher
Education.
Another interesting event hap-
pening on campus before the
end of November is the addition
of a new food outlet. The new
retail outlet will be located
under Chandler Dining Hall,
where the current bakery is.
This new store will be a lot
like the Ritazza Coffee Shop in
Gemmell, but will have some
differences. The DoubleTreat,
as it will be named, will serve
items like fountain drinks,
juices, milk and other drink
items.
Fresh baked goods and fresh
fruit will also be available for
purchase in this new addition.
Unlike Gemmell though, the
DoubleTreat will only accept
Flex dollars, or cash, with the
options of using board
allowances in future plans for
the "grab and go" style food
store.
This new additon to Clarion's
food service will be done in two
phases. The second phase will
take place sometime in the
spring semester.
DoubleTreats will alleviate
Gemmell congestion and give
easy access to those who live on
that side of campus.
So, in the next few weeks look
for the newest food outlet to
open; and as always, if ypu
have any questions or com-
ments about these, or any other
issues on campus, please con-
tact me at 393-2318.

BACCHUS promotes moderate and responsible drinking
by Angela Bautista
Clarion Call Staff Wri^^^^^
A program on the campus of
Clarion University called
BACCHUS has not been heard
of by many people. BACCHUS
stands for "boosting alcohol
consciousness concerning the
health of university students."
BACCHUS does not tell stu-
dents to completely rule out
drinking, but they do promote
drinking in moderation and
responsible drinking.
Many students may have a
misconception about this orga-
nization, but they just want to
get the word out that drinking
in moderation is better than
drinking irresponsibly.
This organization is a nation-
al program with 256 chapters
located throughout the country.
The division at Clarion is fair-
ly new to the university.
Because this program is
funded through Student
Senate, they have to participate
in the Weekend Programming
Initiative.
If a group sponsored by
Student Senate does not partic-
ipate in the Weekend
Programming Initiative, they
will lose funding for their
organization.
The Weekend Programming
Initiative is a weekend student
run program that allows stu-
dents to do something on cam-
pus without involving alcohol.
Many students on campus
complain there isn't much to
do on the weekends except to
party, and this gives them the
option of something different.
There are over 80 organiza-
tions funded by Student
Senate, and there are only 15
weekends in a semester. Many
of the organizations will dou-
ble up to get more people to
come to their events.
Darlene Hartle, director of
the Alcohol and Drug Program
at Clarion said, "Some of the
smaller organizations on this
campus go through a weaning
period. Right now, BACCHUS
is going through that stage."
Clarion University recently
received a grant, which is
funded through the OJJDP.
This stands for "office of juve-
nile justice delinquency pre-
vention." The OJJDP is in all
50 states.
Each state is allotted so much
money each year. In the state
of Pennsylvania, there were
nine new universities that were
granted money.
Clarion University was
granted $15,300. About $3,500
of that money is going to the
Weekend Programming
Initiative.
"The money is given to stu-
dents based on needs for the
Weekend Programming
Initiative. For example, if an
organization wants to rent out
a bowling alley for students to
go to and need some money,
the Student Senate will take
that into consideration and
decide if they need it the
most," said Hartle.
If a student gets caught
drinking in the dorms, they are
referred to BACCHUS to par-
ticipate in some of their pro-
Turner chosen as Minority Student of the Month
by Amy Ujazdowski
Clarion Call Staff^W^^^^
Clarion University's Office of
Minority Student Services
selected Aieshan Turner as its
October Student of the Month.
Turner, a freshman art major
from Philadelphia, Pa, has
shown much dedication to her
academics and peers in order to
receive this award.
She was named Most
Outstanding Female Student dur-
ing Clarion University's pre-col-
lege summer academic program
and continues to maintain a 3.0
G. P. A this semester.
However, academics are not
the only focus of her self-excel-
lence. Turner volunteers her free
time assisting students that are
having difficulty adjusting to
university life.
Some extra curricular activities
she belongs to are the Clarion
University High School
Basketball Team, and Mentoring
Program for younger students.
She is on the University City
High School Magnet Program
Harlem Renaissance Festival for
the Mural Painting Project.
Dr. Stevan McCrory, director
of the FOP/ ACT 101 Program,
nominated Turner for the Student
of the Month Award.
He stated she is a true freshman
coming from Philadelphia's
inner city and adjusted very well
to the more rural life here.
According to him, "She stood
out the most."
Turner received a certificate in
recognition of this honor at the
Unity night on Nov. 1, proving
she has what it takes to be
"Clarion Proud."

grams.
There are three class sessions
lasting two hours. Each last for
three weeks that a student must
go through.
Students run these classes.
They help give information
about responsible drinking and
drinking in moderation. One
thing that is taught to the stu-
dents is views of drinking.
Charlie Pino, vice president
of BACCHUS, said, "There is
a common view and a new
view. The common view is that
alcoholism is a result of per-
sonality flaws. Most people
believe that . However, it is
true that anyone can be an
alcoholic. It depends on the
choices you make."
An example Pino gave is, "if
you take a depressed student
and an athlete, and they both
drink 12 beers, it doesn't make
the depressed student any more
of an alcoholic over the ath-
lete. This is because they both
drank the same amount of alco-
hol."
Pino also said that genetics
play a big part in alcoholism.
Another program that BAC-
CHUS provides to students is
Family Feud in the dorms. It is
a fun game that students can
play and all of the questions
revolve around drinking.
"I think that people who are
in it (BACCHUS) are really
helpful," said Pino. "We are
not against drinking. We are
like anyone else. It's all about
moderation."
There is a stereotype that all
college students drink large
quantities every weekend dur-
ing their college career. This is
false. Many students do not
over drink while they are in
college.
Part of BACCHUS is to make
students aware so peer pres-
sure doesn't pull them into
drinking. They need to know
that other students do drink in
moderation and make responsi-
ble choices.
Any student can join BAC-
CHUS. There is no monthly
fee, and it can become very
helpful to them.

Student Senate debates budget allocation for Psychology Club
by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
Student Senate Treasurer
Tom Clopp moved to allocate
$613 from the Supplemental
Account to the Psychology
Club for their 2001-2002 bud-
get during the eighth meeting
of the fall semester.
Before presenting this
motion to Student Senate, the
Appropriations Committee cut
the organization's original
request of $1,500.
A representative of the
Psychology Club said the
organization had been seeking
funds to cover the costs of the
Eastern Psychological
Association Conference in the
spring.
She said the university
would benefit as a whole
because members attending
the conference would present
yearlong research findings,
thus promoting Clarion
University across the region.
After some debate. Senator
Jackie Collier moved to call to
question; however the motion
failed 1-15-1.
Next, Vice President Missy
Gring moved to table
Treasurer CIopp's motion
indefinitely. The motion
passed by a 17-0-0 vote.
This permits the Psychology
Club to resubmit their request
for funding in the future with
more justification as to why
they should be granted this
allocation.
During the Executive
Committee report. President
Ben Chervenak presented an
idea for an event, which would
comply with this year's Issue
of the Year-Citizenship.
Members of the Executive
Board considered hosting an
event sometime before
February in which the univer-
sity and the community could
come together to raise funds
for the Families of Freedom
Scholarship Fund.
Senators would collect dona-
tions, auction off members of
various campus organizations,
and feature comedians and
other forms of entertainment.

Faculty Senate discusses safety precautions
by Shannon Sankey
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Faculty Senate discussed a
variety of topics covered, with
safety precautions being a domi-
nant factor, Monday Nov. 5.
Dr. Diane Reinhard discussed
in her president's report that
Clarion University's Emergency
Response Plan is in the process
of being revised to better suit the
needs of faculty and students.
Clarion University is teaming up
with governmental agencies to
ensure proper measures are being
taken to maintain a safe atmos-
phere on campus.
Some measures that are cur-
rently being implemented are
communicating an emergency
situation by e-mail and by phone
calls to the office of specific
deans, who will then interpret the
message along their communica-
tion line among faculty and stu-
dents. A phone service will also
be available to students and fac-
ulty in the event of an emergency
so they will have the opportunity
to have any questions answered
or concerns voiced; / ; ^ < ; ■

a unanimous decision, deleted
the Bachelor of Music
Performance major from the uni-
versity's curriculum. The deci-
sion was based on the evidence
that there are currently no stu-
dents enrolled in the major, and
there are no significant indica-
tions that it is a highly attracted
major.
Faculty Senate also looked over
and tentatively approved Clarion
University's academic calendar
for 2003-2004. The major issue
concerning the calendar is the
decision to create shorter breaks
and end the spring semester earli-
er, or to maintain the same break
lengths as currently used. Clarion
University is attempting to con-
form its' academic calendar to
schools such as Slippery Rock
and lUP. Faculty Senate agreed
that having the same calendar as
these schools will allow for bet-
ter ways to access situations.

research. This year, Dr. Anthony
J. Vega and student Laura
Nicholson will attend the conven-
tion to present their research enti-

approached Nicholson to see if
she would be interested in further-
ing her studies, and together they
co-authored the project.
Afterwards, Vega and Nicholson
submitted their findings to the Pa

accepted for presentation. Outside
of the classroom, Vega and
Nicholson work together on cli-
mate-related research.
Vega, who is a professor of earth
science, attends about 4-6 profes-
sional conventions a year, and
said that "the meetings are a great
way to present new cutting edge
research and get automatic feed-
back."
Vega will also be presenting a
paper entitled "Upper-
Atmospheric Causes of
Northeastern United States
Precipitation Extremes" at this
meeting.
Spacial, temporal, physical and
human issues dealing with geog-
raphy are the main topics dis-
cussed at these meetings, accord-
ing to Vega. Vega himself works
with spacial analysis.
Nicholson has been interested in
climatology for about 2 years
now. Nicholson transferred to
Clarion about 2 years ago as an
environmental geoscience major.
She is considering going to grad
school or finding a job in the ecol-
ogy field, preferably working
with a government agency.
"I really enjoyed working with
Dr. Vega. I would just like to
thank him for his guidance
throughout this project," said
Nicholson. Nicholson also said
that it would be a great honor and
privilege to present a professional
paper as an undergraduate stu-
dent.
The convention will be held in
Johnstown from Nov. 8-10.

Robert Mirabal "paints" with vivid colors
by Jessica Wallace
Clarion Call Staff Writer
When I was asked to write an
article on the "Music from a
Painted Cave" program on
October 31st, I was slightly
intimidated. I had no idea
what to expect from Robert
Mirabal's program.
I sat in my seat anxiously
waiting for the show to begin.
There was a good audience
turn-out despite it being
Halloween, which was great to
see. As the lights dimmed, the
first song entitled Painted
Cave began to fill the auditori-
um. It was a very relaxing and
birth, Taos Puoblo, New
Mexico. His songs dealt with
many different feelings and
issues existing in today's
world; from a hopeful song
talking about raising the
youth, to a powerful song
about a man dying of AIDS.
Each one of his songs had a
strong message that was clear-
ly shown with his use of great
lyrics. He wanted the audience
to know that his culture was
not protected from the
tragedies facing the rest of the
world.
During the show, Mirabal
showed black and white slides
that only intensified the feel-
his hysterical comments, such
as the "what the hell look" and
"the pack and pull connec-
tion," which you will only
understand if you saw the
show. There were many more
surprises in store for the audi-
ence though. During the "skin-
walker" song, people dressed
as feared creatures that repre-
sented disguised forces of evil,
roamed the aisles freely,
frightening many people in the
process. There was also a tum-
bler, a man on stilts, ladies
performing sign language, a
cute four-year-old dancer,
dancers wearing Halloween
masks, a skateboarder, and
even a large head during the
closing (don't ask).
My favorite song was a mod-
ern Native American song
entitled Hope that included
present-day dress and dance as
well as traditional Native
American styles.
Mirabal describes all the
people involved with the pro-
duction of "Music from a
Painted Cave" as members of
his family and tribe. He
expressed how important it
was to teach children about the
arts, and told the audience to
share their kindness with oth-
ers. Mirabal's brother said that
the most important thing they
wanted people to get out of
their show was "peace of
mind" that the Indian culture
was still alive in today's soci-
ety, as well as the love and
energy of their performance
itself.
Overall, I felt the perfor-
mance was a great success, not
only because of the quality of
the show and its performers,
but also because it gave the
people of Clarion a little taste
of Native American culture
and an experience they would
never forget.

pertornnance.
Whe
lion?
peaceful song, which he dedi-
cated to his ancestors. I still
had no idea what the evening
held in store for me.
Mirabal quickly displayed
his great sense of humor by
opening with the line, "Happy
Halloween. I'm dressed up
like an Indian. " This comment
loosened the crowd and pre-
pared them for a wonderful
evening filled with Native
American music.
"Music from a Painted
Cave," portrayed the progres-
sion of Native American music
from the town of Mirabal's
ings he had already instilled in
the audience. The dancers,
despite only being with the
group since September, really
made the show come to life.
The performers costumes were
also amazing.
At the beginning of the per-
formance, the songs and cos-
tumes were more traditional,
but by the second half of the
program the transition to mod-
ern times was easily noticed.
There was never a dull
moment during this show.
Believe me. Mirabal constant-
ly entertained the crowd with

Music Review
CUQ fashions clinical, yet engaging jazz-rock
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
Just what the hell is post-
rock, anyway? A brave new
form of art-rock; pushing
down boundaries and stilted
musical thought like so many
straw houses? A fancy-
schmancy way to repackage
bloated prog-rock to today's
indie hipsters? Is it rock? Is it
jazz? Is it electronica? Most
importantly, is it good?
The Chicago Underground
Quartet's self titled release
answers none of those ques-
tions, save one. And here's the
answer: yes, it is good. It cer-
tainly isn't rock (even of the
'post' variety) that fans of The
Sea And Cake or Tortoise
would be familiar with. It
isn't strictly jazz on the other
hand, as it embraces sounds
and textures considered quite
unorthodox to the greater jazz
community.
A sort of "supergroup" (no,
don't worry - Blind Faith this
ain't) comprised of the cream
of Chicago's scenesters, the
Chicago Underground Quartet
offers up the very best the
windy city has to show. If
Chicago is the headquarters of
post-rock as Seattle was to
grunge, then this is Chicago's
Temple Of The Dog.
What makes the Chicago
Underground more successful
than, say, Tortoise's newest
record (Standards), is the fact
that they've narrowed their
ly well. By focusing on a lim-
ited palette of sounds, moods,
and styles, they are able to
craft an album that is tight,
yet expansive as an ocean.
Take the opening number,
"Tunnel Chrome," for exam-
scope to a razor's edge.
Rather than falling into one of
the supergroup traps of "Hey,
we can do anything!",
Chicago Underground decides
to do a few things exceeding-
pie. A simple guitar measure
repeats itself with occasional
improvisation over a bed of
light-as-a-feather drumming
and rolling hills of bass. Not a
single note is out of place, and
the track is never overly busy,
or repetitively simple. Add in
ringleader Rob Mazurek's
lyrical cornet playing, along
with delicate, barely percepti-
ble electronics, and you've
got a nice template for the
album as a whole. While all
the players are more than
adept at their instruments,
Mazurek is what makes this
such a colorful album. His
cornet can bleat like a wound-
ed goat one second, and croon
like one of Homer's Sirens the
next. Jeff Parker's tasteful
guitar is underused in many
selections from the album,
which is one of the only com-
plaints I can find with this
record.
Jazz purists will balk at the
use of electronics here, but
one should not have such a
knee-jerk reaction. A casual
listener might not even pick
up on much of the program-
ming found here, so woven
into the album's fabric it is.
The same goes for Mazurek's
cornet, which at many times is
filtered and processed into
extraordinary new sounds.
The Chicago Underground
Quartet could justifiably be
five members, though - pro-
ducer John McEntire
(Tortoise) is that vital to this
album. He treats the studio as
an instrument unto itself; mix-
ing other instruments so they
act and sound in ways not at
all like their original selves,
and having their place in the
mix drastically altered within
the course of just one song.
See the free-form
"Welcome" for proof of that.
It is an unstructured slab of
raw noise carved into a glori-
ous mess with an intangible
beauty courtesy of McEntire.
It's a huge gaseous cloud:
threatening to take on some
concrete shape as it wafts by
in the breeze. Don't let that
fool you into thinking that the
Chicago Underground Quartet
is all a light, fluffy affair -
this is certainly not jazz made
for wine-tasting and romantic
candle-lit dinners. These guys
can manufacture a visceral
groove or two when need be.
It's avant-garde and unpre-
dictable at every turn, and
therefore is certainly not for
those people who thought
Sting's last record had some
"nice jazz flourishes." But for
those willing to be a little bit
daring, the Chicago
Underground yields many
treasures. 3 1/2 stars.
Movie Review
Domestic Disturbance is a chilling thriller for Travolta
by Martisse Macri
Clarion Call Staff Writer
In Domestic Disturbance, John
Travolta plays Frank Morrison, the
divorced father of 11 year-old Danny
• (Matthew O'Leary). Danny has a his-
tory of causing problems for himself
when faced with difficult situations:
his parents' separation and divorce,
^ and his mother (Teri Polo) getting a
new husband, Rick Barnes (Vince
Vaughn).
Susan asks Frank to talk to Danny
about the wedding, and about giving
Rick a chance. At the wedding, we are
introduced to Ray Coleman (Steve
Buscemi) who says he is Rick's former
business partner.
Riqk makes it very obvious that he's
not happy Ray is there. When the two
talk, Ray tells Rick that he wants the
money that was "stolen" from him.
Soon after the wedding, Susan
announces to Rick that she's pregnant,
which Danny overhears. Danny
demands that she take him to see his
father, but Susan refuses, saying she
wants to talk with him about the new
baby.
Rick says he has some business to
take care of in town and that he'll be
back soon. Danny jumps out of his
bedroom window and hides in Rick's
car so he can get to his dad's house.
During the car ride. Rick picks up
Ray at the motel he was staying in, and
brings him to one of his warehouses to
"get his money."
As they arrive at the warehouse,
Danny witnesses Rick stabbing Ray
and burning him in an inferno.
Danny sneaks out of the car and goes

from Hell slashes into theaters
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestvles Editor
Going into From HelL I wasn't
sure what to expect: a slightly
darker version of Sleepy Hollow!
A higher-budget re-vision of all
those cheesy Jack The Ripper
made-for-TV movies?
From previews, it certainly did-
n't look all that promising. ...Depp
seemed like he was just reprising
his Sleepy Hollow character
(dreams and all). Heather
Graham is quite possibly the
worst actress in film today, and
the Hughes Brothers seemed like
an odd choice for this film.
Having only done urban street
dramas before. From Hell would
seem like a drastic departure for
the Hughes brothers, but it isn't.
The world From Hell portrays is
no less a ghetto than 90's central
LA. Sleazy, grimy and constantly
dangerous (even without knife-
wielding maniacs), these mean
streets of London are just a white-
washed version of Menace II
Society's stomping grounds.
The story, which is somewhat
convoluted, presents a theory of
who Jack was, and why these
crimes were carried out. The
film's decision to reveal the
killer's identity in the film derails
the climax, and is a let-down; as
is the ending, which seems
rushed, with too much informa-
tion crammed into a very short
amount of time. Aside from those
flaws. From Hell is fairly well-
written, providing more food-for-
thought than your usual sus-
pense/slasher picture.
Not much emphasis is placed on
character development, but that
doesn't distract from the film,
since From Hell operates better
as a mood piece than a narrative
story. The actors realize this,
never really showing much range;
instead providing us with neat lit-
tle characterizations that we'll be
instantly familiar with. This may
sound derogatory, but again - it
fits what the film is trying to be.
The Hughes team does a won-
derful job with direction, as they
are able to sustain a suspenseful
mood throughout most of the
film. As I said before. From Hell
never really delivers on its
promise, but getting there is half
the fun. Lighting is kept claustro-
phobic at all times, almost seem-
ing like a David Fincher films in
points.
Depp turns in a worthwhile per-
formance, and Heather Graham,
surprisingly, doesn't single-hand-
edly destroy this film, as she's
done so many times before. She
might be able to make a fan of me
yet. Not having read the Arther
Miller graphic novel, I can't draw
comparisons, but if you're look-
ing for an entertaining thriller this
Halloween season. From Hell
will fit the bill nicely. Of course,
if you just want the crap scared
out of you, go see Corky Romano.
VERDICT: 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.

to the police. Because of his
background of trouble-making
during hard times, the police
don't believe him, finding no evi-
dence.
Frank believes Danny's telling
the truth, since he has never lied
Frank trying to prove that Rick
killed Ray and why, by looking
for evidence to make the police
take him seriously.
The movie goes through twists
and turns that will keep you on
the edge of your seat.

to him.
Frank "kidnaps" Danny because
Danny's afraid to go home with
Rick. Susan and Frank go
through a custody hearing in
which Danny says that he wants
to be living with his mom, and
give Rick another chance (only
because Rick threatened to kill
Frank if he didn't).
Frank knows something is
going on in the house that Danny
won't talk about.
Domestic Disturbance is about
John Travolta plays the perfect
loving, but "mess with my son,
and I'll kill you" father.
Vince Vaughn plays his role as
Rick so well, you may not like
him in his next movie. As he por-
trays the bad guy, it's amazing
how such a sexy smile can turn
terrifying.
All in all. Domestic Disturbance
is a thrilling movie that will keep
you on the edge of your seat with
suspense and stellar perfor-
mances.

Burger King puts workers' feet to the fire
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
A while back I read a fascinating
business-related article in my
newspaper. The Miarni Herald
(official motto: "The Person Who
Was Supposed To Think Up Our
Motto Got Laid Off). This article,
which was written by Elaine
Walker, concerned an incident
wherem employees of the Burger
King marketing department
walked barefoot over hot coals.
II you're unfamiliar with modern
American corporate culture, you're
probably assuming that somebody
spiked the Burger King coffee
machine with LSD, Nope The
fircwalking was a pianiied acti\ity
on a corporate motivational retreat,
supervised by a professional fire-
walking consultant to whom
Burger King paid thousands of
actual (j.,S. dollars.
According to the Herald article,
the consultant also had the Burger
King marketing people bend
spoons, break boards, smash
bricks, bend steel bars with their
throats and walk over a bed of
sharp nails. American corporate
employees are required to do this
kind of thing all the time, and for a
sound business reason: Their man-
agement has lint for brains.
No, seriously, these are motiva-
tional activities that make employ-
ees .self-confident and unafraid to
tackle tough business challenges.
The employees think: "Hey, if I
can bend a steel bar with my throat,
there's no reason why I can't
change the toner cartridge in the
printer!"
The Burger King people got off
easy. Some corporations motivate
their employees by shipping them
off to rugged wilderness survival
programs, where they learn vital
lessons that help them excel in the
business world. Like, if they need
to impress an important client, they
could use their survival training to,
I don't know, catch him a squirrel.
The point is that subjecting
employees to physical abuse is a
standard corporate motivational
technique that has proven, in study
after study, to be a highly elfective
means of transferring money to
consultants. Still, you might think
that employees would draw the
line at walking on hot coals, on the
grounds that they could, theoreti-
cally, burn their feet. This would
seem to be especially obvious to
employees of Burger King, a com-
pany whose main product is a
graphic example of what happens
to tlesh that is exposed to high
temperatures.
Nevertheless, at the Burger King
marketing retreat, more than 100
employees walked across an eight-
foot strip of white-hot coals, and
— in an inspirational triumph of
mind over matter that shows the
amazing miracles that the human
spirit, when freed of self-doubt,
can accomplish — about a dozen
of them burned their feet. One
woman had to be taken to the hos-
pital. Several people were in
wheelchairs the next day.
Now, you may fee! that an
employee-motivation event that
actually injured some employees
could not be described as a total
success. That is why you are not a
marketing executive. The Herald
article quotes Burger King's vice
president of product marketing,
Dana Frydman — whose personal
feet were among those burned —
as saying: "It was a great experi-
ence for everyone."
The article also quotes the fire-
walking consultant, Robert "Cork"
Kallen, as saying: "The majority of
the people get through it without a
nick or a blister. When you see
over 100 people and only 10 to 15
people have blisters, I don't term
that unusual. Some people ju.st
have incredibly sensitive feet."
There you have the REAL prob-
lem: Employees with sensitive
feet. It's high time that corpora-
tions did something about this
problem. Here's my proposal:
When you apply for a job, at the
end of your interview, you would
be required to take off your shoes
and socks, and the interviewer
would snap the bottoms of your
feet sharply with a rubber band.
For particularly important jobs, the
interviewer might staple a docu-
ment to your insole, to see if you
truly have the foot toughness it
takes to succeed in the modern cor-
porate environment.
What do you think? I think its a
great idea. In fact, I think 1 would
be an excellent motivational con-
sultant. You can be my first client!
Here's what you do: (1) lear this
column out of the newspaper. (2)
Wad it into a ball. (3) Insert the ball
into your left nostril and jam it in
there as far as you can with a pen-
cil. (4) Send me thousands of dol-
lars.
Ha ha! I'm just kidding, of
course. I know you're not THAT
stupid. Hardly anybtxly is!
NOTE TO MARKETING
EXECUTIVES: I would prefer
cash.

another. There is no excuse for the students (no,
not even "youth") but there really is no excuse
for the generation that we should be learning
from-and the term "learning" is used loosely
here. It is not uncommon for two or more non-
students (with their hands in their pockets taking
up more space) to saunter leisurely while stu-
dents with heavy backpacks try to scurry past for
a class on the other side of campus, or keep that
fatal financial aid meeting, or a counseling ses-
sion, or to tell a loved one, "I didn't mean it!"
before his/her test. Do they accommodate by
walking in a single file for the whole of the 1.5
seconds it takes to pass by-no. Do they take their
hands out of their pockets-no. Do they remember
anything their parents taught them-no. Do they
care-no. Does it matter-obviously not. Am I the
only one who feels this way-1 don't think so.
I have a small-shoe size: five and a half. I am
a student. My appearance is unintimidating and
my clothes are non-descriptive. Does that shed
some light on this issue? The sidewalk is just as
much of a parade of our social roles and stand-
ing, as is our backgrounds, connections, qualifi-
cations, jobs and the cars we drive. We all walk
on sidewalks. We all have to. There is enough
space for all of us.
Walking stopped being an issue once you sur-
prised and pleased those who taught you to walk
for the first time. One small step has become a
giant step backward for common civility.
Walking is now second nature while you ponder
over the mortgage, the pain in your side, the kids
in college, what is this country coming to, what's
for dinner and how your mate and you have noth-
ing to talk about these days, or that you don't
have one. If you are a student walking — then you
are not worrying about such issues necessarily —
you are too busy simply trying to live. Well-boo
hoo. We all have problems, students and non-stu-
dents, but as said above we are all pedestrians at
some time or another. What do you lose by tak-
ing your hands out of your pockets, shifting an
inch, keeping that conversation on hold, or let-
ting go someone's hand for those precious 1.5-2
seconds out of your average life-expectancy of
75 years? This simple civility carries over to
other sidewalk uses: do you bother to move your
umbrella quarter of an inch on a rainy day to
avoid jolting someone else's umbrella or poking
their eye, nipple or groin?
Walking is the same as driving. If you don't
move when someone is trying to turn, change
lanes or overtake, you will be in an accident. Try
playing the game you plan on sidewalks: I'll
wait till they move. Where will you end up then
on the highway? Try poking them with your
umbrella-headlights...
What is the point of these words? This is a cry,
not for attention but to look at ourselves as peo-
ple. You know, humans who have reasoning
capacity; living creatures who behave from
acquired learning. You know, humans who walk
on the sidewalk and usually not sh*t on it led by
a leash.
Or as a close friend tells me to yell at strangers,
"Remember kindergarten— SHARE! !"

Horoscopes
AriGS:(March 21 -April 19) You resent dealing with private concerns,
but they're a part of life too. Time away from the arena brings insight.
TaurUS:(April 20-May 20) The fight goes out of an adversary. This
person is suddenly unsupported. Feel free to proceed without harassment
or recrimination.
Genflini:(May 21 -June 21) You don't agree with everyone's position,
but you don't want to be ostracized. Go along with the general drift and
avoid specifics.
CanCGr!(June 22-July 22) Rallying support is one thing, but coordi-
nating efforts is another. Though progress will be slow, everyone should
be reading from the same page.
LGO:(July 23-August 22) Self-control is important right now. Lashing out
will only invite attack, whereas holding back wins sympathy and in time
compensation.
VlrgO:(August 23-Sepf. 22) Despite attempts to bie ratldnal, current
events are pushing your buttons. Work through volatile feelings and you'll
reach clarity.
Libra:(Sept. 23-Oct. 23) it win be a cold day in Hades before you get
paid back. Since asking nicely doesn't work, discontinue services. This
getsthe negligent party's attention.
SCOrpio:(0ct. 24-Nov. 21) Your actions may not be financially wise,
but you need to be free in order to think clearly. Do what needs to be
done. The rest will follow.
Sagittarius: (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)You can get inflexible. Heed requests
to lighten up. This isn't the time to be heavy-handed.
Capricorn: (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Torn between ambition and playing it
safe, you'll revisit familiar doubts. This should feel like a rerun by now.
Fast-forward to something proactive.
AquariUS:(Jan. 20-feb. is) it seems like you're the only person
standing between order and chaos. And to some extent that's true. You
also have more support than you know.
PiSCeS:(Feb. 19-March 20) you have to step up to the plate. Don't
worry. You're better at being bossy than you know.

Studentspeak, next step in roundtable experience
by Amy A. Thompson
Clarion Call Editor-in-C W^^^^^
The next stage of the University
Experience Roundtables,
Studentspeak: The Students'
University Experience
Roundtable, is slated for Friday
Nov. 16.
Studentspeak is the students'
opportunity to discuss, which sug-
gestions from last month's round-
tables experience they believe
will or will not aid in student
retention.
"We generated a whole lot of
ideas, and we would like to use
those as a basis for discussion on
Friday," said John Colantonio,
member of the Project
Management Team for the
University Experience.
From Studentspeak, the man-
agement team hopes to
take and interpret the
most vital information to the key
players and decision makers of
Clarion University, said
Colantonio.
Those who make decisions can
compare information with other
universities and discover if any
suggestions are already succesful-
ly implemented at other schools.
Registration for the event is lim-
ited to 100 students. According to
Dr. Rashelle Karp, member of the
Project Management Team for the
University Experience, there are
approximately 40 students regis-
tered.
"We are still accepting people
for Friday. They can register by
calling Rose at 2223," Karp said.
Students may also register
online at
www.clarion.edu/admin/academi-
caffairs/ue/registration.htm.
According to published results,
a total of 208 people participated
in the October roundtables. This
included students, faculty and
staff members. Every person was
pre-assigned to a table of six to
seven people, with a recorder at
each table.
Each roundtable group was
asked to brainstorm strategies
based on student research infor-
mation from the past two years
and any other needs their table
identified.
Strategies were written on large

College jobs
When coming to college, there
are so many expenses which are
involved. Some are obvious and
many are hidden. Either way you
look at costs, you have to find a
way to pay them.
We discussed this issue Sunday
night and we found out that there
are many people on the staff who
work more than one job just to
keep up with all the costs which
come along with getting a college
education.
We also discussed that even
though we really have no choice
whether we work these jobs or
not, there are some employers
who really take advantage of us.
A great example of this is the
upcoming holiday, Thanksgiving.
Even though we do not have
classes, some of the off-campus
jobs we have require us to stay in
Clarionn and work during the hol-
iday.
We don't understand this. Even
though some of us have been there
since we started at Clarion
University, we still have to stay
and work. Seniority doesn't mean
anything to certain employers.
Another issue with this is some
of the businesses do not pay their
employees holiday pay. This poli-
cy is completely unacceptable.
We are staying here during our
holiday and they can't even pay us
the correct pay.
We also discussed if you call off
of work on Thanksgiving, even
though that might have been the
first time you have called off, you
get fired. No questions asked.
We're sorry, but we do have
lives beyond the job and it would
be nice to go home and spend the
holiday with our families.
The only reason we have the job
is to make sure we have enough
money to pay the bills and keep
our heads above water. We don't
really like being taken advantage
of. To most of the employers
around here, they really don't care
if we get home to see our families
or not.
Now we understand that we
can't have every holiday off, but it
would be nice if they tried to give
most of us the day off. Some peo-
ple don't mind working because
they stay here anyway, but it
would be nice if we had a choice
in the matter or not.
We really think by working two
jobs or more and taking classes,
we are going above and beyond
the call of duties as is.
It would be nice to be able to go
home to see our families and to
have some time to ourselves.
There is only so much one person
can take before they snap.
Happy Thanksgiving!

UAB advisor comments on concerts
Dear Editor:
Thank you for your We Make
the Call piece last week on
George Clinton.
I just wanted to shed addition-
al light on how the concerts are
selected by the University
Activities Board (UAB).
Interest in a particular act is
generated by the Concert
Committee. This committee is
open to any enrolled student. The
committee meets every Tuesday
at 9:00 p.m. outside 273
Gemmell Student Center.
Then, the act has to be
approved by the UAB. This
approval is based on homework
that the Concert Committee
Chair- Christie Geibel- has
already done.
Availability- what is the rout-
ing on the tour? According to
Dave McAfee, drummer for
Toby Keith's band, the maxi-
mum travel distance for back-to-
back gigs is 9 hours (about 600
miles).
This allows an 8 p.m. show at
one venue to end and be loaded
out by 12 midnight. The crew
gets on the road immediately and
is able to start loading the next
gig in by 9 a.m.
So, is the act we are looking at
already booked or routing a tour
within 600 miles of Clarion,
Pennsylvania?
Do you have an
opinion?
Send letters to
the editor to
Amy A.
Thompson
270 Gemmell
Complex,
Clarion
University of
PA, 16214, or
send E-mails to
theclarioncall@
excite.com
Isolated dates cost more than if
we get the act on a tour, especial-
ly if we can get a "fuel stop" gig.
This is when the act adds an
extra date when they would oth-
erwise not be playing.
Who knows that we were in
negotiations for Shaggy last
spring, but lost the date to the
University of Rhode Island (big-
ger school and more exposure for
him)?
Cost- what is the asking price
for the act. An easy web site to
see acts, their price range, and
availability is http://www.con-
certideas.com. You can research
a specific act, music style, or just
search by letter of the alphabet.
When UAB is looking at an
act's costs, we have to take into
consideration their price, a 10
percent middle agent fee, plus
production: lights, sound, stage,
security, catering, runners, hotel,
etc... Example, George Clinton is
asking $35,000 -i- and lists avail-
ability as "some spring dates."
UAB got him for $27,500; the
agent fee of $2,750, plus produc-
tion, which will bring the total
expenses to about $35,000.
Venue- is the space available
on the Clarion campus? We can-
not schedule against arts events,
sporting contests, or other con-
tracted events.
Another consideration is can
we accommodate the act's
needs? We had extended a bid
last February for Jo Dee
Messina, but could not fly (hang
from the ceiling- we build light-
ing towers) the lights in Tippin
Gymnasium, so she would not
accept our bid.
Based on routing and luck, we
were able to get Toby Keith, and
he played to a sold-out crowd.
UAB brings in an amazing
quality of performers. We have
had two artists of the year in the
past eight months.
Toby Keith just won the
Country Music Association's
Male Vocalist of the Year. He
was also the Academy of
Country Music's Male Vocalist
of the Year and had Album of the
Year with "How Do You Like Me
Now."
Additionally, Halloween night
performer, Robert Mirabai and
the Rare Tribal Mob, was Artist
of the Year, Record of the Year
with "Music from a Painted
Cave," and Songwriter of the
Year at the 2001 Native
American Music Awards.
Way to go UAB !

I now believe that

of country that tran-

-John Gerow
Hyde Park, John Gerow
Nov. 1 1-the eleventh day of the
eleventh month- the day the
Armistice took effect. The day the
Great War ended. The Armistice
took effect at the eleventh hour of
the eleventh day of the eleventh
month-and I have heard from
men who were there that the
silence was so profound it sound-
ed like the very voice of God.
Somewhere, in the slow passing
of years, we have come to see the
eleventh of November as not only
a day to honor those who fought
in the Great War but to honor all
of the men and women who have
answered their country's call.
What was once Armistice Day is
now Veterans' Day, and rightly
so.
Our nation has gone to war
many times in our history. Rarely
have we ever picked up arms
unless there was a real threat. The
British invaded in 1812, the
Confederate States attacked
American positions, somebody
blew up the battleship "Maine",
the Germans torpedoed the
"Lusitania," the Japanese
attacked Pearl Harbor, the
Islamists attacked New York and
Washington.
We also entered wars to fulfill
treaty obligations-ironically
enough, these "wars of honor"
were among the most dishonor-
able conflicts ever fought. I refer
to the Korean War and the
Vietnam War. We engaged in both
of those conflicts to fulfill treaty
obligations, although our country
was not threatened.
Yet, no matter what the politics,
or who was in power, when our
Nation has called, Americans
have willingly answered that call,
and many have given the last full
measure of devotion, sacrificing
their lives in defens of our
American ideals.
It is very easy to get caught up
in the heat of the moment. It is
easy to find fault with our gov-
ernment, to question those in
power, yet there is something
deeper that must motivate so
many of us.
I now believe that many of us
have a love of country that tran-
scends petty politics. I now
believe that many of us love
America as a geographic place, as
an idea, as a set of ideals, as a
place of hope.

Reader points out error in movie review
Gerowl Hyde Park, from Page 3.
Dear Editor,
I was reading the Nov. 8 issue of TU C^a/^/ox Caff.
While reading the review of From Hell, by Keith
Gwilhm, I noticed where he mentioned the graphic
novel From Hell as being written by Arthur Miller.
Miller wrote Death of a Salesman, but he had noth-
ing to do with the writing of From Hell. It was writ-
ten by Alan Moore, drawn by Eddie Campbell and
published by Slave Labor Inc.
It is currently available at your friendly neighbor-
hood comic book shop or at a local book retailer. If
they don't have it in stock, I'm sure they'll order it. I
have the graphic novel, and it is worth reading, espe-
cially if one is a mystery or horror buff.
Other than that minor complaint, I felt the review
and the entire paper was copacetic.
Yours Truly,
Rex Munsee
Lifestyles Editor 's Note: Thank you for pointing out
my mistake. Considering that I am familiar with the
works of both Arthur Miller and Alan Moore, I feel
even more foolish for having misprinted the name.
Just one of those late-night deadline gaffs. Again,
thanks.

We love America even when
we may not like her govern-
ment.
I am reminded of the Russian
who said that he fought for
"Mother Russia," not for the
Czar or the Soviet. We love
America in much the same
way.
Al! of us, whether we know it
or not, benefit from the liberty
and freedoms of our nation.
Oh yes, we can argue about
this party or that party taking
away our liberties. We can
bicker about how our govern-
ment functions. We can openly
trash our leaders-but we some-
times forget that it is the very
liberty and freedom guaranteed
by our government that gives
us the freedom to criticize our
government.
We are the freest people in the
world. We can worship our
individual concept of God in
any way we choose or not
choose. We are free to assem-
ble for almost any purpose. We
can write or read almost any-
thing imaginable. We are free-
and those freedoms are guaran-
teed to us through the
Constitution.
Yet, we must never forget that
those liberties and freedoms
were bought with the blood of
those Americans who answered
our country's call.
The very essence of all that it
means to be an American exists
only through the sacrifices of
those men and women who
were willing to make that ulti-
mate sacrifice for the rest of
us. There can be no greater
expression of love for your fel-
low man than that.
It is easy to forget all those
who went to war when America
called.
It's easy to forget the horror
and death and suffering that
these men and women endured.
It is easy to forget the sacri-
fices as we go about our daily
lives in a world made safe by
those very sacrifices.
There has been a great out-
pouring of patriotism since the
attacks on Sept. 11 - and it is
just and fitting. But we should
not wait until we are attacked
to remember all of those who
have answered our country's
call.
We should not wait until
Veterans" Day or Memorial
Day to remember our
American heroes. We should
remember and honor them
every day that we breathe the
free air of America.
How can we honor these men
and women who gave up years
of their lives so that we could
be free?
Maybe it's time that wc just
say, "Thanks." when ever and
where ever we meet a vet.
Maybe its time to say. "Thank
you," to all the men and
women who have answered our
nation's call. Maybe it's time
to just say. "Thanks."

spirit of this country.
Ask yourself this question-how
many American flags did yyu see
in windows before Sept 11? That's
what I thought. Spiking up your
hair does not make you. a punk-
placing the stars and stripes in front
of your home while you sit inside
playing with your bellybutton lint
does not make you a patriot.
And what's more offensive than
all the cashing-in and faux patrio-
tism is our latent bkxxi-lust as a
whole over this situation. Most
people seem to have the knee-jerk
reaction illustrated so perfectly in
those delightful (insert sarcastic
tone) T-shirts you see everywhere,
with Osama Bin Laden 's face in a
target; sporting such charming sen-
timents as "Retailiale" and "Strike
Back" in blood-red lellcrs.
I'm not saying I'm Uncle Sam
my.sclf; you'll fmd nary a piece ol
patriotism on me. But I'm not pre-
tending to be all rah-rah over the
USA, as so many people are. 1 pre-
fer to mourn for mdividuals, not a
faceless ideal. But maybe I'm just a
dirty hippie. PS-don't send me any-
more of those damn e-mails depict-
ing the re-building of the Twin
Towers as a fist with a raised mid-
dle finger- have some respect for
younself-and your countrymen.

Student complains of inadequate computers
To the Editor of TU Cforion Caff.
I normally wouldn't write a let-
ter to the editor, but so far my
complaints have fallen on deaf
ears.
My complaint is concerning the
quality of the computing systems
located within the library facility
in Gemmell Hall. They are sadly
inadequate Not only are they
inadequate, but are lacking the
functionality to complete even the
most basic of tasks.
Although the following are just
my experiences, I am sure they
are indicative of others that use
these computers, evidenced by the
many orange fix slips on them.
I have had numerous problems
saving papers, printing papers and
even using simple software. Is
this because I have no knowledge
of how these machines work.
NO!
It is because they are approxi-
mately seven years old, still run-
ning Windows 95, and the com-
puter capacities are being
stretched to the limit trying to run
even moderately new software.
Granted, I am not a computer
technician, but I shouldn't have to
be to utilize the library's comput-
er equipment. These should be in
somewhat good operating order.
When I have complained about
this issue the response is to wait
for the new library. It will have all
new computers. That may be the
sales pitch to use on an incoming
freshman's parents.
To me, it is a slap in the face.
Myself and every other student
currently attending Clarion paid
regular tuition rates and fees to
attend this University. To provide
this broken down, old and inade-
quate equipment is a disregard for
administrative responsibilities
owed to the students, who are cur-
rently attending Clarion.
I would like to know where my
reduction of fees and/or tuition is
in exchange for the trouble and
time lost due to these old
machines.
These are the same computers
you can purchase through the
classified ads for a hundred dol-
lars. Not fitting for a state institu-
tion of higher learning.
Hopefully the new library will
be open in February and these
issues will disapper in the minds
of those in charge. But these are
exactly the issues that are remem-
bered by alumni when it comes
time to give back to the
University.

-Ben Chervenak
Student Senate President's
Forum,
Ben Chervenak
This past Monday, Student
Senate approved a new policy
concerning the Weekend
Programming Iniative. This poli-
cy, named Policy 2001-01, was
created due to the large number of
organizations which were delin-
quent in turning in a form to the
Student Activities Office (SAO).
Over 50 organizations failed to
hand in a form to the SAO. Why,
you may ask? I am not sure why
to tell you all the truth. The policy
will punish all organizations
which remain delinquent, and it
will not allow for any exceptions.
Just to give an overview of the
policy, if your group does not sub-
mit the form, your final budget
could be cut five percent of the
total. And if a group decided not
to submit the form at all, no bud-
get would be given for the follow-
ing year, with no exceptions being
Tiade to this policy.
Ihe '-'.-i-prKj Programming
ideas were first brougm lu oi„..;^ri
about a year ago, and the Student
Senate has been working on it
ever since. Last year. Senate
approached groups and asked
them what their feelings were
toward the program, if they would
be willing to participate, and any
changes that they thought the
overall plan needed.
How many objections came up
at this time? Not many, and any
that did, were handled and reflect-
ed in the final copy of the initia-
tive, which was passed by the
Student Senate, and by university
president. Diana Reinhard.
Now, at almost the end of the
Fall semester, more than half of
the funded groups did not com-
plete a simple task which was
required of them, a task that in the
end would benefit all students of
this university.
This task would have created
events on almost every weekend
of the fast approaching spring
semester, and in the years to come
events on all weekends of the aca-
demic year. Why would groups
not want to participate in this?
It would create an opportunity
for these groups to recruit new
members, provide a service to the
university and its student popula-
tion, and give the university an
awesome recruiting tool. With
recruiting, comes prosperity and
growth. Who doesn't want their
university or alma mater to suc-
ceed and grow?
Some people will say that no stu-
dents will attend these events, and
that they already have a problem
getting students to attend their
current programs on the week-
ends. So my answer to those peo-
ple or groups in favor of this ini-
tiative- how do you know how
these events will turn out?
Even if you only get three peo-
ple to attend your event, that is
three people who had something
to do because of your organiza-
tion.
We are aware tnai -^^thing is
ever perfect the first time it is
implemented.
The Weekend Programming
Initiative will benefit all student
groups, the university and com-
munity.
We are giving the students the
opportunity to participate in a pro-
gram on the weekends, to stay in
Clarion, and not go home because
of a lack of events.
Let us not forget the important
facts of why we are doing this ini-
tiative. These programs will offer
students an alternative to going
home on the weekends, and will
also give the opportunity to attend
something other than a party for
those weekends.
I know 1 am tired i^f seeing
empty parking lots and empty
events on weekends, how about

Professional Development Series completed
Contributed by
Career Services
The Fall 2001 Professional
Development Series, sponsored
by the Office of Career
Services, has successfully com-
pleted with 129 students partic-
ipating in at least one session.
The seven-session series pro-
vides information and activities
to help students develop job
search skills and manage the
transition from campus to
career.
University faculty and staff,
employers and local business
people served as presenters.
Topics included resume writ-
ing, interviewing, job search
resources, application letters,
professional attire, dining eti-
quette and financial manage-
ment.
Out of the 129 participants, 58
students completed at least six
of the seven sessions and were
recognized at an Awards
Ceremony and Reception on
November 12.
Nineteen students, nearly dou-
ble the amount from the Spring
2001 Series, were recognized
for completing all seven ses-
sions and received an additional
gift of a Clarion University pen.
Rachael Foflygen, senior
Communication and French
dual major, coordinated the
Series this semester. Connie
Laughlin, Director of Career
Services, presented Foflygen
with a bouquet of flowers in
appreciation of her hard work
with organizing the Series.
Lynne Pinkerton, Assistant
Coordinator this semester, will
be coordinating the Series for
the Spring 2002 semester.
"The numbers for this semes-
ter's Series astounded me, espe-
cially since this is the second
Awa^cHs were given to students who went to six or all of ttie

Northwest Pennsylvania Rural AIDS Alliance
to receive $1.4 million grant
by Khalia Robinson
Clarion Call Staff Writer
A $1.4 million grant will be
given to the Northwest
Pennsylvania Rural AIDS
Alliance at Clarion University
in order to help with program
expansion.
The Northwest Pennsylvania
Rural AIDS Alliance offers ser-
vice to HIV-positive individu-
als in the counties of: Cameron,
Clarion, Clearfield, Crawford,
Elk, Erie, Forest, Jefferson,
Lawrence, McKean, Mercer,
Venango, and Warren.
Currently, funding for the
Alliance is contracted through
the Pennsylvania Department
of Health. Fiscal and adminis-
trative business for the Alliance
is handled by Clarion
University.
Dr. Woodrow Yeaney, execu-
tive director of the grant project
and a grantsman at Clarion
University said, "This is part of
Clarion University's commit-
ment to improving the health
and stability of the local com-
munity."
Ryan CARE Act Title III
funding through the Health
Resources & Services
Administration of the U.S.
Department of Health and
Human Services will be provid-
ing the $1.4 million to the
Alliance project.
Yeaney also reported that the
project brings health care fund-
ing to rural Pennsylvania, when
most projects are given to larg-
er urban areas.
According to Congressman
John Peterson, Clarion
University and the Northwest
Pennsylvania Rural AIDS
Alliance are reaching out and
providing a tremendous service
to Americans from all across
our region who are suffering
from HIV/AIDS.
"This funding will help them
expand their services to reach
more people in Northwestern
Pennsylvania," said Peterson.
As of now, there are 60 peo-
ple enrolled in a clinic funded
to serve only 40 people.
Jeff Curtis, manager of the
Northwest Pennsylvania Rural
AIDS Alliance said, "With the
Title III funds, we will be able
to expand our services to pro-
vide specialized care to over
200 HIV-positive individuals.
The grand application process
took almost two years, accord-
ing to Yeaney. The application
process included working with
the Northwest District Office of
the Penns|lvania Department
of Health,, the Criminal Justice
System, community based
physicians, and a variety of
human service organizations.
A portion of the money will
be used for extensive training
of nurse practitioners and
physician assistants working
with primary care physicians in
this region.
The Alliance plans to do an
extensive public relations
endeavor in order to publicize
the project. Over a two-year
period, all 13 counties will
receive benefits from the pro-
gram.
According to Curtis, the fund-
ing will allow clinics to focus
on specialized HIV physician's
services and the mental health
issues involved with living with
HIV
"Mental health for HIV/AIDS
patients and their families is a
major area of focus across the
nation," said Curtis.
One goal of the Alliance pro-
ject is to continue educating

of taking HIV medications.
Curtis and Yeaney both agree
that Clarion University is an
important element for the
Alliance. Yeaney also men-
tioned that faculty members
from the economics, special
education and rehabilitative
science departments made sig-
nificant contributions to the
development of the grant pro-
posal.
Eventually, the Alliance
would like to include input
from the marketing, communi-
cation and nursing programs.
Members of the Northwest
Pennsylvania Rural AIDS
Coalition were recognized for
their participation in the grant
application process.
The mission of Title III is to
work jointly with Northwestern
Pennsylvania communities to
improve, protect and promote
their health by being their
health care partner in the strug-
gle against and treatment of
HIV/AIDS; provide access to
high quality, comprehensive
early intervention services for
medically under-served HIV-
positive individuals in the
region; and provide HIV-posi-
tive patients with highest quali-
ty medical care, performed by
trained, competent specialist in
the field of HIV. utilizing the
best available medical prac-
tices.
The Alliance has been the pri-
mary resource for HIV-positive
patients in Northwestern
Pennsylvania for the last ten
years. For the most part, there
are no publicly supported HIV
early intervention services out-
side those prcnided by the
Alliance.
The Northwest Pennsylvania
Rural AIDS Alliance is located
at 15870 Route 322 in Clarion.

Clarion University biology students
work with PAFBC
by Kelly Drevitch
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Members nt the Pennsylvania's
Fisheries Biology Program
recently finished three days of
working with the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission
(PAFBC).
Members helped survey the fish
populations in Kahle Lake near
Knox.
The students learned "hands on"
in boat electro fishing, back cal-
culation of growth from scale
analysis, and mark recapture
metht)ds in predicting a popula-
tion's size.
Kahle Lake follows a special
harvest regulation and PAFBC
monitors the lake to observe the
regulations effects on the fish
population.
Dr. Andy Turner, assistant pro-
fessor of biology, said, "Field
experiences in which students
apply the theories and concepts
learned in the classrooms are on
an integral part of the learning
experience in ecology. This sur-
vey is just one example of the
field experiences available to our
students here at Clarion."
This experience also granted
students the chance to work with
PAFBC biologists Ron Lee and Al
Woomer. These biologists shared
with students their opinions on
the potential employment in the
environmental biology field.
The students who participated
were Brendan George, a graduate
student studying for his masters
degree in biology; Sarah Turner, a
junior biology major; Heidi
Lappi, a junior biology major;
Ben Huber, a junior biology
major; Chad Eisenman, a senior
biology major; Dan Putt, a senior
biology major; and Dale Black, a
graduate student in biology.

For several years, PBS has
studied what elements make up
a community through a series
"Our Town," a one-hour televi-
sion program highlighting peo-
ple, places, and happenings of a
community.
Clarion receives the home
town treatment in "Our Town:
Clarion" scheduled for telecast
Thursday, Dec. 6, at 7 p.m. and
9 p.m., on WPSX-TV3 (chan-
nel 9 in Clarion). Zeta Phi Eta,
the national professional frater-
nity and honorary in communi-
cation arts and sciences at
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania, took part in the
creation and taping of the pro-
gram.
"Il was really exciting and we
had a wonderful time doing it,"
said Zeta Phi Eta Advisor, Dr.
Kristen Marshall, associate
professor of speech communi-
cation and theatre. "Most mem-
bers of Zeta Phi Eta intend to
enter the communication field
and this was a perfect project
relating to their career goals."
Marshall saw the notice about
the production of "Our Town:
Clarion" in the newspaper and
contacted WPSX. She met with
station representatives Greg
Petersen and Pat Mansell at a
segment planning session to
determine what makes Clarion
Clarion.
"The national Zeta Phi Eta
service project the past two
years has been volunteering to
help PBS stations," said
Marshall. "'Our Town: Clarion'
was the perfect opportunity for
our local chapter to help PBS."
The Zeta Phi Eta members
videotaped four segments over
a two-day period for possible
use in the production. This
included interviews with busi-
ness owners and community
residents in downtown Clarion,
activities and interviews in the
Main Street Center, interviews
with "The Clarion News" staff
in its newsroom, and interviews
on Clarion's public bus trans-
portation system, "The Golden
Eagle Express."
This is the 21st broadcast in
this series. Previous programs
featured Bedford. Bellefonlc.

"This project brought univer-
sity and community together to
explore a day in the life of
Clarion," said Marshall. "We
caught on videotape >ome of
what makes Clarion Clarion. It
was very rewarding for us to
take part."

Clarion hosts Modem Language Conference
by Adam Berteotti
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Modern Language
Conference with the theme,
"Modern Languages in an Era of
Distant Education," drew partic-
ipants from 10 State System
universities and two area high
schools to Clarion University on
October 26. The conference was
sponsored by Clarion and
Slippery Rock University.
The conference was geared
towards how distant learning
exchanges between schools can
help keep the teaching of some
languages from disappearing.
By combining the curricula of
universities through distant edu-
cation, mainly Interactive
Television (ITV) was discussed.
Presenters also had an opportu-
nity to show their knowledge of
the technology.
The presentations included
two teaching demonstrations,
"Advanced Language and
Civilization" and "Culture

dean of Clarion University; and
Dr. William McKinney of
Slippery Rock University.
Afterward, Grunenwald com-
mented on the conference. He
said, "The conference on deliv-
ery of modern language courses
by way of technology was an
outstanding success. To be able
to provide language courses to
multiple sites with a single
instructor may well serve to pre-
serve the educational experi-
ences of those students who are
interested in language areas
with small enrollments."

Theatre Review
Laramie Project is a harrowing real-life tale
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The second main-stage show
of the 2001-02 theatre season.
Tile Laramie Project by
Moises Kaufman, opened to a
more-than half-full Little
Theatre on Tuesday night.
The show, directed by Bob
Levy, is a collection of
excepts of interviews with
people from Laramie,
Wyoming, the town where the
now-infamous anti-tzav torture
and murder of Matthew
Shepard occurred in 1998.
From the first words spoken
by the narrator and characters.
It's easy to see that this is not
iii ordinary play. The
"scenery"" is very minimal-
ist — a simple wooden dais
Aith chairs, a rear-projection
-L-rci^n .mil the actors is it
I ha\e \o admit that the show
opened \eiy sK)wlv, hut still
Nils contusing (Di explain).
1 veil with slow pacing (and 1
do mean slou ), the t'lnite num-
bci ol actors, it's ottentimes
contusing as to uhich charac-
ter IS speaking through the
actor — IS it the bartender or
Doc? — in the introductory
act. However, the play recov-
ers well from this very quick-
ly into the second act.
The cast includes several
newer faces— Allycia Arias-
Jones, Thomas
Manning, Doris Regan, and
Alicia Shropshire — - as well as
several seasoned pros: Trevor
Southworth, Amy Zubik, Bret
Sloan, Katie Kerr, Johnathan
Edwards, William Gibson
(finally on stage!), and Robert
Zinsmeister. Understudies
were Rebecca Thielet and
John Banjak.
1 feel 1 should issue a light
warning to those planning on
attending the show. ! don't
think that most people will
have problems with the sub-
ject matter or language, but
rather the simple fact that
there isn't any traditional
staged acting — people are
simpl) talking \o \ou. The
best way to put this in per-
specti\o IS to take half The
Blair Witch Project and half
Unsolved Mysteries: the inter-
views and the in-line identifi-
cation ol their speakers makes
this more a docu-play than an
actual stage piece.
This changes when needed,
and is done with absolutely
wonderful precision as the
play shifts to the media's fren-
zy around the case. This lack
of staged action, though,
works wonderfully as another
device for showing just how
closely- knit yet still spread-
out life in Wyoming is.
In my opinion, the strongest
point in the show, however,
was the unflinching editing of
the interviewees. The people
who are featured as characters
show how the issue of accep-
tance of any kind of alterna-
tive lifestyle is, while openly
embraced, still a secret
hatred.
In a phrase, the play contin-
ually reminds us "I'm not gay
or nothin', but...". This
strength was tempered all the
more by both the writing
and direction: the lines are
delivered to the audience and
to each other in the way that
people really would talk.
There seems to be no forcing
of language or nonconversa-
tional speech at all.
I really have only one main
nit-pick: the use of voic-
es. While this would have
really nailed down the prime
characters, and 1 do under-
stand how difficult juggling
names and faces is for the
actors, I noticed that the char-
acter voices really came in
and out. Also, many of the
voices were really not dis-
cernible — one sounded very
much like the next.
Congratulations to the cast
and crew for a fine job.
George Clinton in concert!

Monsters Inc. is fun for people of all ages
by Martisse Macri
Clarion Call Staff Writer
First off. Monsters Inc. is one
of the cutest movies I've seen in
a long time. It's ail about the
monster world. In the monster
world, they get all their energy
for everything from the screams
of children. Monsters
Incorporated is the corporation
that generates and collects the
screams for the monster world's
energy.
Sully (the voice of John
Goodman) with his helper Mike
(the voice of Billy Crystal) are
"scaring partners" who are in
first place for the screaming
record. Sully's scaring rival is
Randall (the voice of Steve
Buscemi), who is competing for
the screaming record.
The one rule they have at
Monsters Inc. is when they go
scaring (through the closet
door, of course), they must
never leave the closet door open
because a child may get into
their world and that would be
the end of them, since children
are considered toxic material.
At the end of one work day.
Sully needs to go back to the
"scaring room" to file some that one
closet door was left
paperwork. In there, he finds unattended. As Sully goes in

the door, a little girl (whom he
names "Boo," the voice of Mary
Gibbs) enters the monster
world.
The monsters are brought up
to believe that children must
never touch them because if
they do, they will die. Sully
tries to bring Boo back into her
room, but she keeps following
him, so he hides her and brings
her home with him.
Boo gets loose, and panic
ensues. Sully and Mike take
Boo into hiding and try to think
of a plan to get her back to her
world.
Monsters Inc. shows what
Sully and Mike go through in
order to get Boo back home and
the reason she was brought into
the monster world in the first
place.

they are championed for sav-
ing modern music. With their
2000-2001 world tour and the
subsequent document of the
tour, / Might Be Wrong,
Radiohead lays to rest any
doubts that they aren't the
most vital band out there with-
in the first track.
Having abandoned the vast,
epic guitar workouts of OK
Computer for the swirling,
synth-driven oceans of studio
trickery that dominates much
of the band's 2000/2001 dou-
ble-whammy of Kid
A/Amnesiac, the concern was
that rock's most incendiary
live band would turn into a
stoic collective on knob twid-
dlers. This fear proved to be
unfounded, as the newer elec-
tronic-based tracks were given
complete sonic overhauls.
The fiery spirit that die-hard
fans could perceive lurking in
the heart of Kid A and
Amnesiac is brought to the
foreground. The more tradi-
tional arrangements show just
how immaculately crafted
these tunes really are.
Stripped of their canyon-deep
layers of computer program-
ming and droning synthesiz-
ers, songs such as "Like
Spinning Plates" and
"Idioteque" bristle with inten-
sity and searing musicianship.
Taken from a collection of
shows during the tour, / Might
Be Wrong opens with the bass-
driven monolith of "The
National Anthem." In the stu-
dio version, "The National
Anthem" is capped with a gale
of chaotic brass horns; live,
the horns are replaced with
Johnny Greenwood's frayed
guitar, which grapples with
brother Colin Greenwood's
knuckle-dragging bass lines,
which he lays down like rib-
bons of napalm.
All the while, Thom Yorke
functions as the hurricane's
eye, letting loose a holy cry of

frustration as only he can, his
thin, yet unbreakable voice
piercing the sheets of instru-

Even more impressive is the
reinvention of "I Might Be
Wrong." As the beat is
increased to a frantic pace,
Greenwood's guitar is allowed
to cut loose, something that
was unthinkable on their stu-
dio efforts. "I Might Be
Wrong" foams at the mouth, as
Yorke whips himself into a
frenzy, as the track veers

noise rock into a swampy jam,
yet never meandering or dull.
Likewise, "Morning Bell"
shows just how valuable
drummer Phil Seiway is in
reigning the band in, prevent-

there is a human heart beating.

able. Johnny Greenwood goes
to work at his bank of elec-
tronics, and yes - twiddles
some knobs.
The highlight of / Might Be
Wrong is "Like Spinning
Plates," however. Radiohead
takes their most experimental
moment to date - a rhythmic
slab of underwater electronics
and backwards-vocals and
turns it into a heart-wrenching
and haunting ballad. "While
you make pretty speeches/I'm
being torn to shreds," Yorke
sings, silencing the cries that
this is an emotionless band. A
simple piano refrain stands
alone to back up Yorke, prov-
ing that minimalism is often-
times the best solution.
As an extra incentive for die-
hards to purchase / Might Be
Wrong (most huge fans
already own numerous
bootlegs), the previously unre-
leased fan favorite, "True
Love Waits," is tacked on at
the end. While it isn't as hyp-
notic as the older live version
(with Johnny Greenwood on
keyboards), this Thom and
acoustic guitar-only version is
Radiohead at their most emo-
tionally direct best. "True
Love Waits" shows that while
Radiohead is adept at all gen-
res, they are at their most vital
when stripped of all their
armor, leaving the song to sink
or swim on its own merits.
/ Might Be Wrong is all the
proof doubters should need to
relinquish the belief that
Radiohead has forgotten how
to rock. The 8-song EP is one
big malevolent sneer at their
critics and a precious gift to
their fans. 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.

Alcohol guest
speaker relates to
Clarion students
by Jessica Wallace
Clarion Call Staff Writer
"Power-hour," beer goggles,
the "walk of shame" and the
attitude were just some of the
things mentioned by Monday
night's speaker, Mike Green.
Green, sometimes known as
"Greeny," is a recovered alco-
holic of 23 years whose goal is
to teach college students about
the consequences of what he
refers to as "one-nighters." A
one-nighter. according to Green.
is a short-term problem that
could have life-time conse-
quences.
Green has taken his show on
the road ic) over 200 colleges
every year for the past 1 7 years
now. He uses his great sense of
humor and language that is
familiar to most college stu-
dents to keep the attention of his
audiences.
The program was very partici-
pation oriented. He asked the
audience, "How many of you
have a drinking problem.^" to
which very few people admitted
to at first, but, after explaining
in further detail how being an
alcoholic and having a dpinkin"
problem were two completely
different things, many people
raised their hands.
Green shared many different
stories of people whose lives
changed because of drinking;
not because they had been alco-
holics, but rather because they
had gotten "caught up in the
moment" or "addicted to the
. excitement of a party."
Green mentioned how impor-
tant it was to guard your drinks
at parties, diffuse dangerojus sit-
uations before they got out of
hand and get car keys away
from people who insist on dri-
ving after drinking.
"Spotting" was another great
suggestion made by Green.
Spotting is a method of looking
after intoxicated friends. This
can be done many ways, includ-
ing taking the person's keys
away, preventing them from
going home with a stranger, and
not letting them walk home
alone.
He told many unfortunate sto-
ries about people dying because
no one had spotted them.
Green used his humor when he
discussed "UPl"'s. or
"Unidentified Party Injuries,"
which many members of the
audience seemed to be able to
relate to. The mood quickly
went from good-humored to
serious, though, when Green
asked how many people had
known someone that lost their
life due to a "one-nighter."
I raised my hand, and was
quite shocked by the large num-
ber K^i hands raised around me.
He also asked everyone to think
about how then parents would
react to a phone call idling
them of their son or daughter"^
accidental death due !o a night
of careless drinking.
He stated that nidst college
students did not know the difler-
ence between drinking and yet-
ting drunk.
He explained alcohol poison-
ing and its effect on a person's
gag reflex, preventing their
body from getting nd (^'i the
harmful substance, sometimes
resulting in death. He also sur-
prised some audience members
with the fact that one 12 oz. can
of beer equals the same amount
of sugar in a Hershey's choco-
late Jxir. This would certainly
explain why people who drink
often tend to gain weight.
Green set up a drinking
demonstration using four audi-
ence members, where he
promised them free t-shirts if
they participated in a drinking
game. Upon telling them to
start drinking, the majority of
them quickly drank down what-
ever their glass contained.
He proved that by promising
them a $3 t-shirt, he could have
gotten them to drink anything he
wanted. I felt that this was an
excellent way to show the audi-
ence how vulnerable they were
to being drugged.
He also provided the audience
with a check .sheet upon their
ari-ival, which he later used to
show the number of times peo-

people tend to drink heavily
per year. Green felt that most
college students did not realize
exactly how much they drank,
and that was his reasoning
behind the checklist.
On the back of the checklist,
Green provided some helpful
information such as advice on
drinking, symptoms of alcohol
poisoning and instructions for
what to do if someone you
know appears to have those
symptoms.
After the program, he told me
that the top five problems in
college-related to drinking
were fights, disorderly con-
duct, date rape, vandalism and
driving under the influence.
"Overall, I feel Mr. Green is
one of the better speakers I've
heard because he kept the audi-
ence interested and he did not
address alcoholism, but instead
getting drunk, something most
college students can relate to,"
commented junior Greg
Vogeley.
The Clarion University fra-
ternities, sororities and athletic
teams were expected to attend
Green's speech, but many peo-
ple chose to attend on their
own, especially those who had
seen Green's program last year.

Jon Engel, a sophomore,
said, "Green is the absolute
most attention-grabbing, infor-
mative, professional speaker
I've ever seen. I think every-
one should have gone to this
program. ..the time seemed to
fly by."
Although, at times Green's
language may have been con-
sidered somewhat offensive I
felt that he used the terminolo-
gy in order to relate to the col-
lege students in attendance bet-
ter. I have never seen a speak-
er do a presentation on drink-
ing the way Green did, which I
felt was the main reason his
program seemed to have more
of an impact.
I only saw a handful of
checklists left behind on the
bleachers after the show, which
seemed to imply that the stu-
dents had taken the presenta-
tion seriously, finding the
checklists helpful and informa-
tive.
I feel that Mike Green gave
the students of Clarion >()me
crucial advice on thinking
before drinking. He asked the
audience if they had fun and
learned something from his
speech; needless to say, at the
end of the program, almost
everyone's hand was in the air.
Green's bad experiences with
alcohol has inspired him and
allowed for him to help (Uhers
so they do not have to learn
from their own mistakes, and
before it costs someone their
life.

history with 395 three-pointers attempted, and
Washington (8.5 ppg & 3.8 rpg) both have seen consid-
erable playing time for Clarion the last two seasons.
Stodart's best game in her Clarion career came her
freshman season when she hit a school-record nine
three-pointer on her way to a career-high 27 point vs.
Shippensburg, while Washington had a career-high 23
points vs. West Chester last season. Harris, meanwhile,
was an all-Ohio Honorable Mention recipient last season
after averaging 16 ppg, 7 rpg and 2 spg.
"Ali is working harder than ever." Parsons said.
"Tameka is a very athletic player who is a slasher and
penetrater with the ball. Amelia (who is 5-11) gives us a
look we haven't had in a while with her size at guard.
She is a smart player who has a nice three-point shot."
Sophomores Julie McCormack (Mentor, Ohio/Ment(M)
and Lindsay Kostorick (Pittsburgh/North Catholic)
should also see playing time for Clarion at guard.
McCormack (15 games, 9 points), who came to Clarion
as a point guard, has been moved to the off-guard posi-
tion this season, while Kostorick also played in 15
games last season and scored 20 points while grabbing
14 rebounds to go along with eight assists and five steals.
"Julie is a very upbeat, hard working player who has
good ball handling skills and a lot of ability. She will see
playing time at guard." Parsons said. "Lindsay is a fun-
damentally sound player who is gaining valuable expe-
rience everyday. She is going to push some people for
playing time.
"I always say rebuilding is a four-stage prcxess. The
first stage is you get beat bad. In the second stage you get

kick butt. I think last season we were in the second stag>.,
and this season we have opportunity to move up to the
third stage. We should be able win some of the close
ones."
In addition to making a playoff run, the Golden Eagles
are also shcxiting for two milestones this season. The first
is 3(X) wins in her coaching career for Parsons and the
second is 300 wins in school history tor the team.

Clarion ends season with West Chester loss
by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Call Sports Editor
The Golden Eagle Fcxjtball team
ended the 2001 season with a close
defeat to West Chester on Saturday,
Nov. 10. West Chester's placekick-
er, Dan Wilbourne, booted a 26-
yard field goal with 10:26 to go in
the fourth quarter and gave the
Golden Rams a 16- 14 win over vis-
iting Clarion at John A. Farrell
Stadium.
The game was a season finale for
both teams. Clarion finished the
2001 season with a 4-7 overall
record, while West Chester fin-
ished with a 5-4 overall mark.
Clarion held a 14-13 lead in the
third quarter with the help of full-
back Demetric Gardner's two
touchdowns. Gardner caught a 29-
yard touchdown pass with 3:47 left
in the second quarter to tie the
showdown 7-7 at halftime. During
the play, he broke four tackles at
the five yard line to get the pigskin
into the endzone. His U-play, 78-
yard scoring drive got the team
ready for the second half.
In the third quarter, Gardner
drove eight yards up the middle
straight into the endzone, giving
the Golden Eagles a 14-7 lead with
2:32 left in the third quarter. The
point after touchdown was blocked
by Chris Roberts.
Roberts blocked a Ron Minck
punt at the Ram 27 and Ed Rivers
lecovered the pigskin at the West
Chester 27. Glenn Lovelace ran
for 11 yards, then Gardner com-
pleted two, eight yard runs, the sec-
ond being the touchdown scurry.
The Rams bounced right back on
the returning kickoff and drove 65-
yards in five plays. This put West
Chester right back in the game.
Mike Eckmeyer trucked 49 yards
from the Rams 35 to the Clarion
16. Three plays later, Eckmeyer
scored on a one-yard run with 38
seconds left in the third.
Wilbourne's extra point attempt
went wide right and the Eagles
held a 14-13 lead, setting up
Wilbourne's game-winning kick.
Clarion drove to the West Chester
18 yard line deep in the fourth
quarter, but a third down holding
penalty moved the ball back to the
28 yard line. Jason Flora attempted
a 43-yard field goal with 3:55
remaining in the game, but his kick
was low and wide right.
Clarion got the ball back at the
Clarion 40 with 3:15 left, but
turned the ball over on downs and
West Chester held on for the victo-
ry.
Clarion totaled 260 yards of
offense including 155 rushing
yards and 105 passing.
Demetric Gardner finished the
game with 78 rushing yards and
one touchdown on 15 carries. He
finished the 2001 season with 983
yards, the fourth highest single sea-
son total in Clarion history. He also
caught one pass for 29 yards and a
touchdown. Lovelace rushed eight
times for 76 yards.
Quarterback, Adam Almashy,
completed seven of 16 passes for
105 yards and one touchdown.
Lovelace grabbed three passes fo
r34 yards and Mike McCullum
caught two passes for 28 yards.
West Chester had only 244 yards
including 213 rushing yards and 3 1
passing yards. Mike Eckmeyer car-
ried 23 times for 119 yards and one
touchdown. Quarterback, Robert
Findora, completed only three of
1 1 passes for 30 yards.
Clarion's defense was led by Chris
Janson who had 13 tackles, one
fumble caused and two sacks. He
finished the year with 103 tackles
11 sacks and 19 tackles-for-losses.
Linebacker, Dennis Yu, pitched in
with eight hits and three tackles for

Experienced team looks forward to 2001-02 season
Courtesy of Sports
Information
With an experienced team returning for
the 2001-2002 season, the Clarion
University women's basketball team is
seeking to contend tor a playoff spot in the
tough PSAC-West. The top four teams in
the seven team conference make the post-
season.
The Golden Eiigles return nine letter win-
ners, including six players who saw action
for 15 or more minutes per game last sea-
son when Clarion was a very deceptive 10-
16 overall and 3-9 in the PSAC-West
against one of the toughest schedules in the
nation.
The Golden Eagles played five games
against four teams who qualified for the
NCAA D-ll playoffs in 20(X)-01 includmg
two against "Final Four" participant
Shippensburg. Clarion also lost three
games by a combined total of 17 points
including one in overtime by a single point.
With any breaks in those three games
Clarion could have easily been 1.^-13.
"We believe that we have matured to the
level where we have a viable shot at the
playoffs," I3th-year head coach Margaret
"Gie" Parsons said. "We are an experienced
team with great balance and a lot of depth
at every position. When you add that to an
incoming freshmen class that will con-
tribute to the team while pushing the older
players for playing time, things look very
positive. The team has great cheiiiistry and
is working very hard."
Clarion is hoping experience, chemistry
and hard work will help return the Golden
Eagles to the championship level the pro-
gram enjoyed in the I990's.
From 1991-95, Clarion won five straight
PSAC-We.st titles, three PSAC titles, went
to the NCAA Playoffs five times and quali-
fied for the "Elite 8" twice ( I9<}1 and 1994).
During the five-year run. Clarion had an
amazing overall record of 1 17-33 (78%)
and a PSAC-West record of 50-10. fhe
Eiigles set 14 NCAA Div. II team and mdi-
vidual records during that run.
Leading the way for the 20{)I-2(X)2
Golden Eiigles will be the nine letterwin-
ners. six of whom started at least one game
last season, and four freshman who should
all have an impact this season.
"One of the things we have this year is
balance and depth at all of the positions,"
Parsons said. "That will allow us to play an
up-tempo style of game. Our goals this sea-
son are to have some sort of pressure
defen.se for 40 minutes and to be able to be
dedicated to playing an up-tempo style of
offense. In order to do that, we need to be
able to rotate 3 or 4 players at the post and
2 or 3 players at each guard position."
For the first time in a long time, Parsons
believes she has players that are needed to
run the up-temp style,
"We have three players who can run the
point." Parsons said. "We also have an
experienced group of off-guards who will
be mixed with some youth and diversity,
and we have three very strong post play-
ers."
Leading the way in the post for the
Golden Eagles will be 6-foot .senior captain
Christina Lantz (Rockford, Ohio/Parkway).
Lantz. who was coming off a knee injury
that limited her to three games two years
ago. came back strong last season scoring
10.3 ppg while adding 6.7 rpg and 9
blocked shots. She scored a career-high 34
points against West Chester la.st season, the
fourth most points scored in a single season
in Clarion history. She should be even bet-
ter this season with her knee completely
healed,
"C.J, is back l(X) percent healthy and is
ready to have her best season." .Parsons
said. "She is one of the best finishers I have
ever seen. She is also very well respected
by her teammates and coaches."
Joining Lantz in the post will be 6-2
junior Courtney Willman (Painesville.
Ohio.'Mentor) and 6-1 freshman Heather
Cigich (Davidsville.Conemaugh Twp. ).
Willman was Clarion's most improved
and most consistent player last season lead-
ing the team with 8.0 rpg and 16 blocked
shots while adding 10.3 ppg. She was
eighth in the PSAC and fifth in the PSAC-
West in rebounds per game, Willman's top
games last year came when she scored a
career-high 29 points against West Chester
and when she had 15 rebounds vs.
Edinboro.
"Courtney is a solid post player who is
improving on her overall game this sea-
son," Parsons .said. "She is also working on
her ar.senal of low-po,st moves which will

Cigich was highly sought after coming TifTany Taylor (McKees Rocks/Aliquippa),
out of Conemaugh Township High School
before signing early with Clarion. At
Conemaugh she was named all-state both
her junior and senior seasons while scoring
1.882 points and grabbing 1.243 rebounds
in her career.
"Heather is a.gifted athlete." Parsons said.
"She hits the offensive boards as well as
anyone 1 have seen in a long time, and she
runs the floor very well. She is a very
mobile player."
In addition to Lantz. Willman and Ciaich,
junior Jen Duhnke (New
Bethlehem/Redbank Valley) and freshtnan
Emily Rolf (Defiance. Ohio/Defiance).
Taylor (8,0 ppg and 67 assists), who start-
ed 14 games for Clarion last season hit
79.7?f (51-64) of her free throws, the fifth-
best single season mark in school historv.
She dished out a career-best 1 1 assists
against West Chester while scoring a
career-high 24 points vs. IL'P Duhnke. who
scored 3.1 ppg to go along with 45 assists
and 17 steals 1.1st year, should share time at

In the early 196()s, in Savannah, Ga., he
helped in the desegregation and led a strug-
gle which resulted in the integration of a
southern library.
As the second African-American
President of the American-Library
Association (ALA), he founded its black
caucus (BC.ALA).
During Josey 's time as president of the
ALA, he established the Pay Equity
Commission and urged the ALA not to rec-
ognize four southern libraries because they
denied membership to African-Americans.
Josey has contributed to the education of
African-Americans, including mentoring
members of several State System
Universities, including Clarion University.

Senate initiative
prompts controversy
by Amy A. Thompson
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief
The Weekend Programming Iniative was
created by last year's Student Senate as an
alternative to partying and to provide students
with weekend activities in lieu of going home.
However, the initiative has been creating con-
troversy with some organizations on campus.
"Something that was meant to be good for
students, people are making out to be bad,"
said Missy Gring, Student Senate Vice
President.
One such controversy pertains to the pun-
ishment Senate promised if Clarion Student
Association (CSA)-funded organizations
failed to turn in possible weekend activity
ideas. After the first deadline more than 50
organizations had their accounts frozen.
"They have to do something to make sure
groups follow through," said Dr. Anand Rao,
professor of the Speech Communication and
Theatre department.
Rao was present at the Task Force
Conference in Harrisburg where the develop-
ment of the Weekend Programming Initiative
began.

Senate initiative
prompts controversy
by Amy A. Thomp.son
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief
The Weekend Programming Iniative was
created b\ last \ ear's Student Senate as an
alternative to partying and to provide students
with weekend activ ities m lieu of going home.
However, the initiative has tieen creating con-
troversN with some organizations on campus.
•■Sotiielhing that was meant to be good for
students, people are making out to he bad."
said Missv Gring. Student Senate Vice
President.
One such controversy pertains to the pun-
ishment Senate promised if Clarion Student
.Association (CSA)-funded organizations
failed to turn in possible weekend activity
ideas. After the first deadline more than .>()
organizations had their accounts frozen.
"They have to do something to make sure
groups follow through," said Dr. .Anand Rao,
professor of the Speech Communication and
Theatre department.
Rao was present at the Task Force
Conference in Harrisburg where the develop-
ment of the Weekend Programming Initiative
began.

Procrastination of students and professors
We are now half way through the
last week of classes and we don't
know about you, but the amount of
work which is due this week is
unreal.
In the meeting on Sunday night
we discussed how at the start of the
semester, we really didn't have a
huge amount of work; maybe just a
chapter or two in each class. Now
we are almost done with the
semester, and the professors are
laying it on.
We believe professors procrasti-
nate as much, if not more, than stu-
dents. We are going through the
semester and when we reach the
half-way point it is almost like
they say, "Hey, I need to get all of
this done by the end of the semes-
ter, so I'm going to assign every-
thing at once."
Even if this isn't how they feel,
that is how is seems to us. This is
the week before finals, and we all
agree this is a more stressful time.
Everything is due at once and there
isn't any time to do it.
We think the week before finals
should be used as a time to sum-
marize and begin preparing for the
final test in the class, not to be
putting more work or stress on us.
We also believe we should get
more than just one reading day to
prepare for finals. Colleges and
universities throughout
Pennsylvania give their students
two or three days to do nothing but
study and read. Clarion gives us
one day, and it is a Saturday. We
really don't get a chance to take
our time and sit back and recoop-
erate from the previous week.
We just don't understand why we
can't have one more day to review,
read, and study. Or maybe, just one
more day to catch our breath and
clear our heads.
We also don't understand the
whole final test issue. Most of the
professors on campus don't even
want to give a final, but they have
to fill out paper work if they
choose not to.
So instead some give a final pro-
ject in it's place. Why bother mak-
ing a schedule for finals? Leave it
up to the professor, and if they
want to give the test, then they can
decide to give us one.
Another big problem is the fact
that one test doesn't prove any-
thing. Some people are better at
taking tests than others. By giving
one huge test which covers ever-
thing we did over the past fifteen
weeks, basically decides if we pass
the class or not.
How can that be? There are just
things about finals we do not
understand.
The last two weeks of the semes-
ter are the worst. We are just ask-
ing for more time to get things
done. Instead of trying to cram
everything into ten short days.
That really isn't asking a lot.

Faculty member writes concerning
Weekend Progranwrnng Initiative
Dear Editor,
A few weeks ago, the president
of the French Club mentioned to
me that one of her classmates,
Tim Smith, who is a member of
the Student Senate told her our
budget had been frozen because
we failed to do something related
to the Student Weekend
Programming Initiative, and that I
should talk to Mr. Smith to find
out what it was.
I did talk to Mr. Smith about a
week later, and he informed me
the French Club budget had not
yet been frozen, but it would be if
we did not turn it in, by Tuesday,
Nov. 20, a form indicating what
our mandated student weekend
event would be for the spring
semester, 2002.
The form to be filed could be
picked up from the Student
Activities Office.
On Thursday, Nov. 15,1 went to
the Student Activities Office to
pick up this form, since no French
Club officer was able to run this
errand, (I also picked up forms for
the German and Spanish Clubs,
whose advisors were not aware of
what they had to do regarding the
Weekend Programming
Initiative).
At the Student Activities Office,
I was told the form should be
picked up at the Student Senate
office.
When I got there, Senator Amy
Cohen, one of my former stu-
dents, happened to be in the
Student Senate office, and was
kind enough to give me the forms-
there were actually two, not one,
and to show me what to do with
them.
On the first form, which was to
be turned in to the Student
Activities Office, we were to
describe the activity the French
Club would implement to satisfy
the new Student Senate mandate
that each Senate-funded student
organization hold a weekend
event during the spring semester
2002.
The second form, to be turned in
to the Student Senate Office, was
to be used to request funds to
finance the proposed event. The
French, German, and Spanish
Clubs had already decided to
sponsor an international film fes-
tival on Sunday, Feb. 10, so I
filled out both forms accordingly,
and tracked down the President
and Vice-President of the French
Club to have them sign the forms.
On Monday, Nov. 19, 1 asked the
president of the French Club to
deliver those forms by the end of
the day. On the morning of
Tuesday, Nov. 20, I called the
Student Activities Office to check
that the forms had been delivered,
and they were not there.
I found out that the president of
the French Club had inadvertently
slipped them under the Student
Senate Office door, because she
thought they should be delivered
there.
She informed me, in an e-mail,
that she had talked on the phone
to Senator Amy Cohen who had
told her that she had found our
forms and would take the one
which needed to go there to the
Student Activities Office (a big
"thank you" to Amy here, she
really was extremely helpful!).
We are still trying to find out
today (Monday, Nov. 26) if our
form ever made it to the Student
Activities Office.
I apologize for this long narra-
tive, but I think it was important
that I show how much aggrava-
tion the red tape surrounding the
Student Senate- mandated week-
end programming initiative has

The things I
remember most about
Christmas are the
times spent with peo-
ple, not my
presents. 99
-Teri Cattau
Editorial, Teri Cattau
When I was a child the magic
of Christmas had me anticipat-
ing the start of the season all
year long.
The day after Thanksgiving
my parents brought out the
Christmas decorations.
Next, my dad, brother and I
went to a Christmas tree farm
and chopped down our chosen
tree. We brought it home and
covered it with lights, orna-
ments and tinsel.
My family also would pick
one night close to Christmas
and drive arould to see every-
one's decorations and lights. It
was fun to see all the creativity
and to spend time with my fam-
ily.
On Christmas Eve, we would
attend Midnight Mass and then
my parents would hurry us to
bed while they put the presents
under the tree. Waking up the
next morning was so exciting
and it always seemed like an
eternity until we were allowed
to open our gifts.
These days Christmas seems
so rushed. The day after
Thanksgiving, people swarm to
the malls to buy the "perfect"
gift for everyone on their list.
They spend the remainder of
the season decorating, baking,
and attending parties and by
Christmas Day, they are
exhausted.
Some say Christmas is a holi-
day for children. I think it's a
holiday for all of us. It's time
for all of us to relax and be
with our families. It shouldn't
matter how much your gifts
cost, only if they come from
the heart.
Your stack of cards should
not represent your popularity,
but should remind you of those
who care about you.
Maybe we should spend less
time worrying about what
we're getting or wearing to the
party and more time writing a
special note to someone in
their Christmas card.
The things I remember most
about Christmas are the times
spent with people, not my pre-
sents. The whole meaning of
Christmas has been lost under
the commercialization of the
holiday. The holiday season
should be relaxing and memo-
rable.
College students are especial-
ly are rushed during the few
weeks before Christmas. We
are still at school taking finals,
finishing projects and worryi-
nand preparing for Christmas.
By the time we get home for
break, we just want to sit back
and enjoy the holiday.
My advice to everyone is this:
*Forget about the Christmas
sales, find that one special gift
for your loved ones in your
heart.
*Don't worry about what
you're going to wear for every-
thing, if you're with people
who really care about you it
won't matter.
*Enjoy this holiday by concen-
trating on the important aspects
instead of the hoopla.

For all who chose
to speak, I applaud
you. 99
-Dr. Art Bari.ow
Hyde Park, Dr. Art Barlow
As self-proclaimed
"Groundskeeper" for Hide Park I
would like to announce the
demise of Clarion's little spot for
self-expression. That does not
mean there are no other possible
venues; it does mean that this era
ends now.
Started in 1983 as an asset of the
Clarion Call I believe Hide Park
has served its public well. It has
provided an opportunity for
members of our college commu-
nity to be heard, to be recognized,
to air pertinent issues and to set
agendas.
For all who chose to speak, I
applaud you. To all who chose not
to use this opportunity, there was
always the option.
There was an occasion, about
five years, when I wanted to curb
operations at the "Park", but the
students comprising the
Executive Board urged continua-
tion of the forum-and so it contin-
ued, and I applaud their wisdom.
There were wonderful written
articles which would have been
lost.
Now as I step aside as faculty
advisor to the student newspaper,
/%. Cfar-m Cai^, I feel confident
that Clarion University will con-
tinue a strong tradition of student
journalism.
Mary Beth Earnheardt will
assume the role starting with the
spring edition of the newspaper.
She joined Tke ^a// staff as a
reporter, was elected news editor
and then editor-in-chief. Since
then she has completed her
Graduate degree and presently
serves as a member of the
Communication faculty. She
knows the student newspaper bet-
ter than anyone, inside and out-
side.
Please welcome her to her new
post and look forward to new
opportunities for information and
expression. She is a firm advocate
of the First Amendment.
Fare thee well,
Arthur Barlow

Initiative! Story about the Weekend Programming Initiative controversy, from the Front Page.
Rao said it was a "very strongly
worded" document but, "1 can see
both sides," he added.
Rao said he believes there was a
"misunderstanding about what
they were doing and why they
were doing it."
Gring said, "I think also, when-
ever you develop something new,
people are going to have a prob-
lem with it at first."
In addition. Dr. Hallie Savage,
professor of Communication
Sciences and Disorders and advi-
sor to the Honors Program, said,
"It's not what they are doing, but
how information is being con-
veyed or communicated that
could be improved."
Savage cited a specific example
with the International Program,
who wasn't allowed to use their
fall Cultural Night, toward the
spring initiative. Savage said she
would like to see an "enthusiastic
atmosphere" in which Senate
incorporates positive reinforce-
ment when groups complete a
good model for the program.
According to Savage, Cultural
Night offers a variety of different
cultures and draws many students
in one night.
However, some people believe
Student Senate didn't receive
enough support for the program.
"They needed more technical
support for it to become a reality,"
said Rao.
Many groups also have com-
plained that they were given little
information about the program.
"How could they have not
known about it?" asked Gring.

organizations explaining the
Weekend Programmming
Initiative. An orgranizational
meeting to introduce the program
also was held and was open to any
organization members or advi-
sors, said Gring.
"People need redundancy of the
information in order to under-
stand the intent," said Savage.
Gring believes lack of organiza-
tion within the organizations is to
blame for groups being unaware
of the Weekend Programming
Initiative.
Rao pointed out that many fac-
ulty advisors were unable to
attend the organizational meeting
and some of the paperwork got
lost from office to office.
Despite the problems, many fac-
ulty are not critical of the program
itself.
"I give all of my compliments
and all of the credit to Student
Senate for meeting the universi-
ty's need," said Savage, while
Rao said he had "very positive
feelings on it."
The information will be going
out with the budget packets for
each semester next year.
"This was the trial period," said
Gring.
"My biggest problem is that
everyone is complaining about
this, but nobody is asking us any
questions."
Five groups have received a five
percent budget cut for next year
including: American Marketing
Association, Association of
Graduate Business Students,
Returning Adult and Commuting

Six groups will not have a bud-
get for next year including: ACEI,

caused me.
The French Club meets only
about every other week, and it is
sometimes difficult to track down
its officers who, especially at this
time of year, are not available to
run errands. It turns out that the
responsibility of securing the
forms, filling them out, and mak-
ing sure that they were turned in
to the right office ended up falling
onto me, the French Club advisor.
I am quite sure that Mr.
Chervenak, the President of the
Student Senate, will retort that it's
my problem if I choose to do the
work that French Club officers are
supposed to do (I understand that
such was the tone of his discourse
at the latest Faculty Senate meet-
ing, where there were complaints
about the amount of red tape gen-
erated by the Student Association
Weekend Programming
Initiative.)
I want to add that I was poorly
informed of the form-filing
requirement, until about
November 14 or so. My only
information until then had come
from my conversation with Tim
Smith. It is only around Nov. 19
and 20 that I began receiving a
flurry of memos regarding this
issue, including a copy of one sent
on Nov. 15 by Dr. Joseph
Grunenwald to "Members of
Deans' Council."
Another complaint I want to
express about this issue is the
punitive approach adopted by the
Student Senate toward student
organizations that had failed to
file their form. Instead of deciding
to "reprimand" delinquent organi-
zations, the Student Senate should
ask itself why, as of November
15, 42 student organizations had
still not filed their form (theoreti-
cally due on Nov. 9, a deadline of
which, once again, I was not
aware). I believe that it would
have been much easier to ask
organizations to attach, to their
budget request for the academic
year 2002-2003, a form on which
they would report on the weekend
activity (and, for that matter, any
other activities) that they had
implemented during the academic
year 2001-2002. Another absurdi
ty that was mentioned to me is
that the International Students
Association was denied the right
to count its traditional fall perfor-
mance as a bona fide weekend
initiative because it took place in
the fall, and not in the spring
semester!
I think that the Senate has taken
on a bit of a "let's flex our mus-
cles" tone by focusing on the let-
ter more than on the spirit of the
student weekend initiative. In the
meantime, it seems to me that
those who are paying the price of
this worthwhile initiative are fac-
ulty advisors who end up
drowned in red tape and with a
few more chores added to their
already busy, plate.

Student Senate
Student Senate passes five motions
by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Assistant
News Editor
After the 2 1 members of Student
Senate returned from an execu-
tive [closed] session during
Monday's meeting. Vice
President Missy Gring moved to
extend the Weekend
Programming Initiative deadline
to Nov. 20, at 9 a.m.
Ideas were originally supposed
to be submitted by Friday, Nov. 9;
but the deadline was extended to
this past Monday, Nov. 12, at 4:30
p.m. Vice President Gring's
motion was passed 20-0-0.
The policy states:
Due to the response of only 22
returned forms by Nov. 12, at
4:30 p.m., the Student Senate has
decided to reprimand those orga-
nizations that are delinquent on
this requirement.
For upcoming years, the forms
will be due in the Spring semester
of the academic year prior to the
academic year the event will be
held. The date will be chosen by
the Student Senate and
announced to all funded organiza-
tions at least three weeks prior to
the required forms due date and
time.
The following actions will be
taken against all the delinquent
organizations:
♦Budgets of delinquent organi-
zations will be frozen until the
required forms have been submit-
ted to the Student Activities
Office. After turning in the form,
the SAO will notify the CSA
Business office that the budget
can be unfrozen.
♦Delinquent organizations will
not have any access to the extra
funding from Student Senate for
the Weekend Programming
Initiative, be it through grant
money received or Student
Activity Fee monies.
♦During the final budget alloca-
tion process taking place for the
following academic year, all orga-
nizations deemed delinquent will
have 5% of their recommended
allocated budget cut before the
final allocation process. Any
organization that does not submit
a budget for that next academic
year will have their budget cut for
the following year the group sub-
mits a budget.
♦If an organization does not
submit the required forms to the
Student Activities Office by the
specified date in the Spring
semester, those organizations will
not receive a budget for that fol-
lowing year.
♦No exceptions will be made on
this policy.
Graham Hermanns /The Clarion Call
Members of Student Senate pass five motions during tlieir
meeting Dec. 3.
♦Effective, Nov. 20, at 9 a.m.
"The Weekend Programming
Initiative is a very important
event for the students and the uni-
versity," said President Ben
Chervenak. "This policy is ensur-
ing that groups will not be able to
slack on their responsibilities to
this program."
Another important initiative dis-
cussed at this week's meeting was
the opening of the Doubletree
Bakery beneath Chandler Dining
Hall.
Phase I of the bakery opening
begins this week and will run
through the next three weeks.
Bakery hours will be from 7:30-
11 a.m., Monday-Friday. As of
now, only flex dollars and cash
will be accepted at the bakery, but
other options may be available
next semester during Phase II.

dents, faculty and staff were sur-
veyed last year about Chartwell's
food service, and the majority of
Clarion's population is satisfied.
Starting next semester, a student
apartment complex will be built
at an undisclosed location on
Clarion's campus. The complex is
slated to be finished by Fall 2003.

Carlson Library's makeover is close to completion
December 6, 2001
by Amy Ujazdowski
Clarion Call Staff Writer
••••••••••••I
!••••••••••••
Over the past few years, con-
struction has been the biggest
sight to see on Clarion
University's campus. First, the
renovations of Founder's Hall,
then, a new Recreation Center
was built, then Harvey Hall was
fixed, and now the Carlson
Library.
Part of the original library was
built in 1963, but later torn down
after the rest was built in 1970.
Over the years, the building
became outdated and could not
accommodate the new and grow-
ing number of electronic
devices.
Also, as the number of books
increased, space shrunk, leaving
little room for new materials.
The new Carlson Library will
be new and improved. As soon
as students and faculty walk into
the front entrance, they will
notice the wide-open space and
brighter lighting.
The student study area will
have floor to ceiling windows,
big cushioned chairs, and brand
new desks. Some of the desks
will also include plugs for stu-
dents and faculty to connect their
own laptop computers.
The libraries will be decorated
with brand new art, mostly pur-
chased from students and facul-
ty-
With improved looks,
improved technology will play
an important role to growing
electronics on campus. Carlson
Library will now feature 140
new personal computers and 24
laptop computers, all with flat
screen monitors for a modern
look.
Students and faculty with wire-
less internet connection on their
laptops will also enjoy some des-
ignated areas which will be all
wireless. Therefore, laptops will
be usable without the need of
electrical outlets.
All the computers are being
placed in the four computer labs
inside the building.
The library science department
will be the only department on
campus with classrooms in the
library. However, one ITV class-
room will be located in the
building for use by all depart-
ments.
Dean of libraries, Howard
McGinn, believes this facility to
be very rewarding.
"This needs to be a cultural
center because it has information
for every area of study," McGinn
said about the ITV system in the
library.
Furniture will be the first thing
to arrive as the library gets last
minute finishing touches. Books
will be placed on the shelves
from early February to April.
The system, used now to
receive books, will be used until
they are all inside.
Graham Hermanns /The Clarion Call
The Wbrary reconstruction is dose to completion. Ttie entire
library is expected to be opened during ttie week of finals in
the Spring 2002 semester
The first floor of Carlson
Library is scheduled to open
April 2. At that time, books can
be picked up from that part of
the library until the rest is
opened during finals week in the
Spring 2002 semester.
The formal opening date of the
library is scheduled for some
time in September.
McGinn said tours of the
library will be available to both
new and old students and faculty
soon after the doors open.
The building starts on Level B,
a sub-basement and the bottom
level. Only study areas and peri-
odicals dating ten years or more
will occupy a small portion of
this area. The rest of Level B
will not be opened to the public.
The next level up, called Level
A, will be an area for gathering.
This floor will contain the
University archives, a computer
lab, the Center for Academic
Excellence, an art gallery, con-
ference areas, and the education
books. This level will include
trophy cases for student's acade-
mic trophies.
The first floor, or entrance
floor, is designed to be welcom-
ing and open with wide spaces.
As soon as students walk
through the front doors, they will
have the option for refreshments
in the student lounge on the left
or go to the reference area on the
right. This floor is also designed
with a computer lab and a circu-
lation desk.
Attached to the tables on the
perimeter of the study areas will
be large lamps for a more toned
down feeling.
The library science department
is located on the second floor.
The largest computer lab in the
building is on the second floor as
well, and will be open for stu-
dents to do personal work.
The top floor, or third floor,
will contain the library offices,
small group study rooms, and
another study lounge.
Like the rest of the building,
the window of the study areas
will reach from the floor to the
ceiling providing a more natural-
ly lighted setting.
The Carlson Library will be
more handicap accessible with
better elevators and touch pads
to open doors.
It will include a 50-foot Bell
Tower with an outdoor
amphitheater for concerts, and
the book budget has been
increased to purchase more peri-
odicals and books.
McGinn said he is most excit-
ed to have the opportunity to cre-
ate a new center for campus.
Not only will Carlson Library
be a brand new center for
research and learning, but also a
new place of grouping technolo-
gy for Clarion University.
This building will be a user-
friendly landmark on campus
and part of the next step in high-
er education.

Campus life remains calm for
International Students
Public Safety Blotter
Contributed by
University Relations
Campus life for
International Clarion
University students has
remained relatively calm fol-
lowing Sept. 11, according to
a report by Dr. Jocelind
Gant, assistant to the presi-
dent for social equity and
director of international pro-
grams, at a recent meeting of
the Clarion University
Council of Trustees.
"While three of the inter-
national students have
returned to their home coun-
tries on account of the con-
cerns expressed by their par-
ents and international place-
ment of student teachers has
been placed on hold," said
Gant, "I am pleased to report
that the situation has
remained relatively calm and
uneventful at Clarion. In
large part, this is mainly
attributed to the types of
proactive measures that
President Reinhard put in
place immediately following
Sept. 11."
Clarion has 104 interna-
tional students enrolled,
including 82 undergraduates
and 22 graduate students.
Approximately 10-15
American students partici-
pate in a study broad experi-
ence with international uni-
versities on an annual basis.
Clarion's international stu-
dents make invaluable con-
tributions to the university
and neighboring communi-
ties for the promotion of cul-
tural understanding and
cross-cultural skills.
"Students are often sought
out to present at the local
schools and civic organiza-
tions," said Gant. "The annu-
al celebration of Cultural
Night is very popular and
attracts over 300 university
and community attendees."
Gant noted that Clarion has
several exchange agreements
with the University of Malta,
Northhampton University,
England, University of
Macedonia, the International
Business School of Moscow,
Belgrano University,
Argentina, and the
University of Costa Rica.
While there is a great
uncertainty with regard to
future recruitment of interna-
tional students because of
the world situation, Gant
remains optimistic and will
continue to explore new
strategies to sustain current
enrollment and pursue addi-
tional agreements with inter-
national universities.

Arete represents Clarion Universitj^ at Annual Meeting
by Susan Campbell
Clarion Call News Editor
Officers of Arete repre-
sented Clarion University
by making two poster pre-
sentations at the National
Collegiate Honors Council
(NCHC) Annual Meeting,
Oct. 31-Nov. 4, in Chicago,
HI.
NCHC is the only interna-
tional organization for
Honors programs. NCHC's
mission is to promote ideas,
projects, and curriculum
that are successful for
Honors programs and
Honors colleges.
Before presenting the pre-
sentations, the papers were
peer reviewed by a panel of
judges. The judges consider
the papers for acceptance.
The Arete officers that
attended the meeting includ-
ed. President Joe Fiedor,
Vice President Adam
Osterrider, Secretary Diana
Bizub, Treasurer Amanda
Beam, and Historian Janna
Martin. Dr. Hallie Savage,
director of the Honors pro-
gram, accompanied the
group.
Arete is composed of
members of the Honors
Program and students in
good standing. The members
travel and work with com-
munities in educational
areas and other events.
The first poster presenta-
tion was based on an Honors
course developed by Dr.
Dipendra Bhattacharya, pro-
fessor of mathematics. The
presentation was titled,
"The Methodology of
Problem Solving and
Posing."
The second presentation
interpreted an essay by Paul
Freire and related it to the
course Dr. Ralph Leary, pro-
fessor of English, and Dr.
Anand Rao, assistant profes-
sor of speech communica-
tion and theatre, developed.
The presentation was called,
"The Banking Concept of
Education."
"We were really proud
about getting the proposal
accepted, and it was well
received," said Savage.
Savage presented a con-
ference session about
Clarion University's
"Learning Partnerships with
High School Gifted
Programs."
The Learning Partnership
is part of a program that
helps high school students
to get closer to various
opportunities, and lets the
Honors Program students
engage in leadership posi-
tions during student visits.

Faculty Senate discusses Weekend Programming Initiative
by Shannon Sankey
The Weekend Programming
Initiative was the main focus of
the recent Faculty Senate meet-
ing. President Chervenak was pre-
sent to discuss the initiative as
well as to answer questions facul-
ty had concerning the plan.
The purpose of the Weekend
Programming Initiative is to pro-
mote CSA organizations to offer
more alcohol free activities on
weekends. By promoting more
weekend events for Clarion
University students, Student
Senate is encouraging students to
stay on campus during weekends
and participate in the alcohol free
activities.
Guidelines for activities for the
Weekend Programming Initiative
include:
♦Activities must be alcohol free.
♦Activities must occur on a
Friday or Saturday. Sundays will
be available pending scheduling
conflicts.
♦Activities must be open to all
Clarion University students.
♦All activities should be
arranged to be held on campus. If,
however, a special need should
arise (ie. bowling, paintball, etc.)
the organization must make every
effort to ensure that alcohol is not
present or available at the event.
♦Activities must be promoted by

Double Treat Bakery promises
to sweeten up CUP
by Khalia Robinson
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Tasty tidbits at Clarion's new
Double Treat Bakery promise
to sweeten up the campus' din-
ing options.
"The Double Treat Bakery
provides an additional venue
for commuters, off-campus
students, and resident students,
even if they do not have a meal
plan," says Jeff Gauger, senior
food service director.
Currently the bakery hours
are Monday through Friday
from 7:30-11 a.m. The hours
are expected to expand starting
next spring (January 2002).
Gauger says that he antici-
pates the new hours to be 7:30
a.m. -2 p.m. when salads and
subs will be added to the menu.
As of right now, the Double
Treat offers a variety of
donuts, muffins, bagels, cook-
ies, brownies, fruits, assorted
cold beverages, coffees, and
teas.
Also, the bakery offers spe-
cialized coffees and teas such
as cappuccino, international
coffees and herb teas.
Menu items are reasonably
priced. (See sample menu at
the end of the article).
Everyone on campus may
make purchases at the Double
Treat. Right now you may not
use board dollars from your
meal-plan to make purchases,
but you may use flex dollars
and cash.
Recently though, a new flex-
only meal plan was approved
for next semester. The new
plan allows you to eat at the
Gemmell Snack Bar, the
Ritazza Coffeehouse, or pay
one price for all-you-care-to-
eat meals at Chandler.
Campus organizations may
also use the bakery's services
for small meetings on campus.
Items can be purchased
directly, without having to
make arrangements for a cater-
er.
"I'm enjoying [working here]
very much so. ..It's a new
opportunity for me. I'm having
a ball," said manager Pat
Radicker.
Employees at the Double
Treat say that business was a
little slow at first, but more
customers are coming in every-
day.
The Double Treat is located
on the bottom floor of
Chandler Dining Hall, to the
left of the dining hall entrance.
Two ten-minute parking spaces
are available for pickups.
Chartwell's, the company
that operates Clarion
University food services, also
manages the Double Treat.

tact the Double Treat bakery at

Concert Review
George Clinton brings the ftink to Clarion University
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestj'les Editor
On November 19 in the
Marwick-Boyd Auditorium,
George Clinton and the P-
Funk All-Stars brought the
funk to Clarion University.
For over three hours, Clinton
and his band brought out jam
after jam, enveloping the siz-
able audience in their intoxi-
cating rhythms.
The opening act, with the
very popular moniker of
"Drugs," set the tone for the
evening with their synthesiz-
er-driven funk-pop. While
they were somewhat lacking
in solid songs, their frontman
was able to connect with the
audience, keeping them
engaged during their often-
times ponderous jams.
Then, it was time for P-Funk
to take the stage. To those
unfamiliar with their shows, it
was clear they were wonder-
ing when Clinton himself
would come out. Little-by-lit-
tle, the almost 20-person
ensemble appeared on stage.
It was nearly thirty minutes
into the set when Clinton
finally showed. From that
point on. he owned the crowd.
With his pioneering brand of
funk, encapsulating a mixture
of soul, r&b, dance, tribal
rhythms and a healthy smat-
tering of the very hip-hop he's
partly responsible for spawn-
ing, he had the entire crowd
grooving effortlessly.
Deciding to concentrate on
lesser-known tracks
("Flashlight" was the only
major hit he performed), the
crowd would have been disen-
franchised with any other act.
But the P-Funk All-Stars are
adept enough to make even
unknown songs sound famil-
iar.
Perhaps the most satisfying
aspect of the concert was the
diversity of the audience. Past
shows at Clarion University
have played to an admittedly
narrow demographic, but not
so with this concert. It was
truly refreshing to see such a
cross-section of Clarion stu-
dents all enjoying one show.
Crowd response was incredi-
bly enthusiastic throughout
the entire performance, even
as Clinton was forced to end
the show due to time restric-
tions.
While Clinton's jams were
sometimes wearing thin on the
audience, overall it was a stel-
lar performance from one of
the music world's most promi-
nent and important figures.
Clarion University should
consider themselves lucky to
have experienced such a con-
cert.
A big congratulations should
be extended to the UAB
Concert Committee for orga-
nizing a flawless event.

Music Review
Adams changes his image with the release of Gold
by Keith Gwiliim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
The fans who make up the
majority of the indie music
world are a strange bunch.
Fiercely loyal to their favorite
acts, they'll defend them to the
ends of the earth, touting each
release as a "neglected master-
piece" or "hidden treasure."
They'll pour over every note
in an album, searching for a
glimpse into their private trou-
badour's souls. Yet the indie
crowd is also a harsh mistress;
the first ones to criticize an
artist for even the slightest
transgression of the "Indie
Code," bellowing the dreaded
barb of "Sell-out" from every
dingy college radio station and
struggling 'zine.
Sometimes, the Scarlet S-0
is well-deserved; a case of a
band truly turning their back
on the progression of their art,
and focusing on the almighty
dollar. After all, the cover of
Rolling Stone will certainly
get you more chicks than the
2-sheet rag that's supported
you since the days of being
booed from local bars. But
there are times, not many, but
there are - where the
band/artist has been falsely
accused. Indie fans feel the
need to be part of an exclusive
club, and when your pet band's
new record appears alongside
Creed albums in the
store. ..well, this just will not
do. A double-standard, to be
sure, but one that ensures the
face of indie music is ever-
shifting and unique.
Ryan Adams, former mouth-
piece for alt-country heroes
Whiskeytown, and his new
album. Gold, are the latest vic-
tims of the indie community's
scorn. After parting company
with his old band, Adams had a
banner year in 2000. He
released his debut solo album,
Heartbreaker, a raw, rustic and
rousing rumination on love,
loss and all heartache in-
between to nearly unilateral
critical adoration.
Whiskeytown's long-shelved
final hurrah, Pneumonia, also
finally saw the light of day, to
the usual praise.
Adams, wasting no time, also
recorded his sophomore solo
platter. Gold. Somewhere
between relocating to LA and
being romantically linked to
Winona Ryder, Adams must
have
dec ided
that sail-
ing in rel-
a t i v e
obscurity
in a rag-
tag boat
of critical
acclaim
wasn't
enough .
Gold
shows
this new
outlook
in ever
polished
note of music and unwavering
vocal.
Be forewarned - if you can't
handle the thought of Ryan
Adams with a studio shine,
stay away. His cigarettes &
whiskey-tempered voice has
been smoothed out; most of
the wrinkles that told a thou-
sand stories of young pride
and regret are not to be found.
But Adams has more than
enough self-contained grit and
confidence to ensure that he's
never bland, just not as vital as
he used to be.
It's not just Adams' voice
that's lost it's edge in his quest
for greater stardom: with all
the trickery and sheen that's
been applied here, the songs
are no longer little snapshots
of one man's life - they're pop
songs. There are no tortured
guitar outbreaks such as
Heartbreaker's "Shakedown
On 9th Street;" there's nary a
gothic folk tale along the lines
of "Bartering Lines." Adams'
voice doesn't crack in all the
right places; his guitar gives
too much away. Part of
Heartbreaker'' s irresistible pull
was its sparseness, lending
each song an air of mysteri-
ousness that kept you hanging
on every word. On Gold,
every-
thing is
spelled
out for
you
there's no
work
involved
to absorb-
ing the
album.
Where
Adams
would
have pre-
V i o u s 1 y
thrown a
h a 1 f -
stoned snarl, now he places a
honey-coated croon.
Now, I know that it sounds as
if I'm slagging off on Adams,
and in some ways, I am. It's
hard to watch an artist who
does something so well leave
it behind. But it's hard to
complain for long when the
artist in question can also do
other things with resounding
success, and Adams can.
Adams seems to be position-
ing himself as a modern-day
Van Morrison; someone who's
capable of delivering intricate
works of sonic art such as
Astral Weeks, but is equally
comfortable with bouncing
r&b numbers, uplifting organs
swells and big-delivery cho-
ruses that won't leave your
headspace. Adams' new sound
may be more "safe," but he's
far too idiosyncratic a song-
writer to deliver heartless
pieces of commercialism.
If the album's opener and
leadoff single, "New York,
New York," has any luck, it
will become inescapable in the
near future. A driving r&b
rhythm that challenges "Wild
Night" for pure joy is accentu-
ated by multi-colored organs
and Adams' clean yet engaging
vocal. It's clear that Adams
has matured here; pop songs
aren't this well-arranged and
thought-out without wisdom.
"La Cienega Just Smiled" is
another fine example of his
newfound grasp of simple
hooks and pleasures. A con-
summate ballad in the vein of
latter-era Springsteen (think
"Secret Garden"), "La
Cienega..." is able to conjure
worlds of imagery with only a
plaintive acoustic guitar, a few
well-placed strings, and
Adams' forlorn vocals. Sure,
it may not have the desolate
emotional pleas of past Adams
classics such as "Amy," but
sometimes in life, you need a
song that doesn't cut so close
to the bone, or cause your own
heart to bleed tears. Gold is a
record made for enjoyment and
fun, even in its more sedate
moments.
And that "fun" side is show-
cased quite nicely when
Adams does return to his alt-
country roots, on such inspired
songs as "Firecracker,"
"Gonna Make You Love Me"
and the bawdy "Tina Toledo's
Street Walkin' Blues." Equal
parts Stones swagger and
Adams' trademark twang,
these songs will erase any dis-
illusionment that's left linger-
ing in your mind.
Gold certainly has its fair
share of clunkers, however.
"Enemy Fire" is a clunking
mess of a sprawling blues
beast, unfocused and overly
melodramatic. "Nobody Girl,"
despite a strong foundation
and memorable melody, drags
on waaaaay too long at nine
and a half minutes. The pac-
ing is somewhat uneven as
well, with most of the disc's
latter half dragging.
Adams truly holds his aces
until Gold's second bonus
disc. More of a separate 5-
song EP than anything else,
this collection shows how
great, and dare I say, classic.
Gold could have been. By
combining his new love of the
pop hook with Heartbreaker^
alcohol-drenched sorrow, here
is where Adams truly strikes
"gold." The catchy southern
rock of "Rosalie Come And
Go" is balanced perfectly with
the supremely confident folk
and bluegrass gestures of "The
Fools We Are As Men" and
"Sweet Black Magic," which
wouldn't have sounded out-of-
place on the Brother, Where
Art Thou? soundtrack.
Closing the proceedings on an
absolutely flawless note,
"Cannonball Days" is a jangly,
tongue-in-cheek kiss-of to a
former lover that shows it
doesn't matter how a song is
produced, as long as the hon-
esty and truth inherent in it is
left untouched.
Gold is a transitional album,
and it shows Adams moving to
a place that the indie hipsters
can't stand. It's a sell-out, to
be sure, but a sincere one that
means well. Everything in life
is a trade-off, and the short end
of the stick here isn't all that
bad. Despite its excesses and
misdeeds, it's an album more
than worthy of your time.
Gold: 3 1/2 stars. Gold bonus
disc: 4 1/2 stars.

Shallow Hal lives up to its name with few laughs
by Martisse Macri
Clarion Call Staff Writer
We've heard the controversy; now
I've seen the movie. Shallow Hal
couldn't have ended quickly enough
though. 1 heard the controversy and
personally didn't want to see the
movie, but figured writing a critique
on it might be interesting.
Shallow Hal is about a man named
Hal, played by Jack Black, who only
wants to date the prettiest girls.
When he gets stuck in an elevator
with Tony Robbins, a motivational
speaker who changes Hal's percep-
tion: Hall will only see the inner
beauty of people instead of their out-
ward appearance.
Hal begins dating women that he
perceives as beautiful, but as society
sees as either "fat" or "ugly." Hal
falls in love with one particular
woman, Rosemary, played by
Gwenyth Paltrow. Hal's friend,
Mauicio, played by Jason
Alexander, cures him of his new-
found perception. But Hal still loves
Rosemary and wants to get past her
weight problem.
The only thing this movie portrays
is how sad society really is. Now
everybody isn't as shallow as Hal,
but some people are, and these peo-
ple are the ones that make it hard for
some people to even like them-
selves.
The way this movie depicts over-
weight people is very disturbing.
Every single time Rosemary eats,
she EATS!!! There's one scene
where she's cutting a piece of cake
for herself, and she cuts about a
quarter of the whole cake to eat. All
overweight people don't eat in
excess; they don't break chairs and
booths in restaurants.
When they sit in a boat, the boat
doesn't tip up from all the weight.
It's even on the website; when over-
weight people walk, the ground
doesn't shake like there's an earth-
quake.
Some people like this movie
because they said there's a message
about how we look at people, and if
one person changes the way they are
because of this movie it'll be worth
it.
I don't think so, however. The
only positive message lasted about
three seconds when Tony Robbins
said to Jason Alexander, "...our soci-
ety brainwashes us through televi-
sion and magazines."
Some people liked this movie
because they said it's funny. No, it's
not. I laughed twice and both times
it had nothing to do with the plot of
the story.
If you really want to see this film,
save your money and wait until it
comes out on video.. .at least you can
fast forward it... or better yet - turn it
off.
The first annual "Discovery awards" lets you know what you've been missing
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
With the collapse of good, identi-
fiable-as-rock music, people like me
have gone on a near-sacred quest
lately. Namely, we're looking for
music we've never heard of, look-
ing desperately for something good.
To this end, I've spent the last 8
months in careful consideration and
decided that I should make my finds
public. Now, not everything that's
gotten an award here is a 2000/2001
release, but for the most part,
they're at least close. Without fur-
ther ado, let's do it: THE 2001 DIS-
COVERY AWARDS
BEST SLOW JAM SINGLE:
Voyager One's "Slow California."
Evoking memories of late nights
and their mornings after, the vibrato
and brass-tinged dirge of "Slow
California" is a sound you'll either
go ape for or hate. Either way, you
can't ignore it.
BEST FAKE OUT SINGLE:
Hands down, this one's gotta go to
Viginwool's "Nevermind her
Hips." Starting with assorted crowd
noise and introducing fast techno
beats, the song ends up being a soar-
ing, driving opus about love and
getting over it. Too bad the rest of
the album was such a disappoint-
ment.
COOLEST BOOKLET: No real
trouble here. The Future Bible
Heroes CD Memories of Love, in
addition to being wonderful synth-
pop-rock, the booklet comes with all
the lyrics in mind teaser puzzles and
out of chronological order. Bonus:
there are no solutions given to the
puzzles in the book.
BEST NEW PUNK: Though cer-
tain neighbors of mine would dis-
agree, I have to give this one to the
bizarre CD by the group A called A
vs. Monkey Kong. I had really no
idea what to expect when I got this
one, and it turned out to be a solid
party punk (think Sum 41 only way
more mature) album with a great
British sneer.
BEST COVER OF A GUILTY
PLEASURE 70's SONG goes to
Smash Mouth's update of Steely
Dan's "Do It Again" on the Me,
Myself, and Irene soundtrack. Not
really too much to say, as I like both
versions and they both go different
directions with a tale of compulsive
gambling.
BEST PUNK SINGLE: This one
gave me fits, but in the end, I give
Subincision's "Drinkin' Man" top
honors. I actually got email back
from the lead singer, explaining just
why there's a banjo in a punk song.
Apparently, they took a liking to a
coffeehouse banjo guy and the rest
is history.
BEST CYNICAL SONG:
"Drinkin' Man" could' ve taken this
too, but it was blown away by The
Drive-By Truckers and their single
'Too Much Sex, Too Little Jesus."
The tale of a "troubled teen" and her
call into a late night evangelical
radio show is flawless.
BEST HIP HOP SINGLE: A
tough one, and I have to whimp out
and make it a tie. The simple trippi-

ness of Polyrhythm Addicts' "Not
Your Ordinary (Rhythm
Revolution)" is the best kind of hip
hop: verbally original, mentally
pleasing, and fun to have around. In
a dead heat for the same prize is
B.L.A.C.K.'s "Make it Bang."
What "Bang" lacks in originality it
makes up in outright fun.
BEST TECHNO SINGLE: Such a
tough call. I'm thinking I'll go with
AIM'S "Sail." Slow, melodic and
soulful, it's the perfect song for
those sunsets where you're wonder-
ing if you've done the right thing.
BEST SOUNDTRACK: Me,
Myself and Irene picks up its second
nod here, with a great collection of
new and old from new and old
artists. Smash Mouth and the Brian
Setzer Orchestra, among others,
cover classic Steely Dan, and lesser-
knowns like Ellis Paul really hold
the entire thing together.
BEST COMPILATION goes to
Amoeba Records' "Just Payin' the
Rent II" and its efforts to bring the
best of San Francisco's sound to the
rest of the world. This CD has given
rise to three prize winners so far
(Punk, Hip Hop ("Bang"), and cyn-
ical singles). I know for a fact that
there's a copy at Dave's Music
Mine.
BEST BAND YOU SHOULD BE
LISTENING TO: Spongebath
Records' Call Florence Pow. An
odd name to be sure, and one that
matches their music. I've already
spent print on reviewing the record,
so I'll skip that for now, but suffice
to say it's a true gem.
BEST ALBUM: Again, a near-
impossible task. After many re lis-
tens, though, I have to give Ike
Reil ley's Salesmen and Racists the
award. Anyone who can take cof-
feehouse folk. Bob Dylan, and wan-
dering musician style and weave a
solid anything out of it is really up
on his game.

The Inside Story
On the outside, it's easy to see that Celica is race-track
inspired. But the real excitement is on the inside.. .under the
hood. Take the Celica GT-S... Toyota worked with Yamaha to
build a 180 HP engine redlined at 7800 RPM...equipped it
with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence... a computer
that constantly monitors and retunes your engine for maxi-
mum performance... a cam with two sets of lobes to provide
two ranges of valve lift and duration for more usable horse-
power. There's direct ignition for greater reliability...
iridium-tipped spark plugs for reduced maintenance.. .a
stainless steel exhaust manifold,..a water-cooled oil cooler.
And mated with Toyota's 4-speed electronically-controlled
automatic "Sportshiff , you get transmission shift switches
on the steering wheel...just like Formula 1 race cars. Sweef.
www,gettoyota.coin
Driving a new Toyota is easier than ever
because now your ToycMa dealer has a special college graduate
financing program available thru Toyota Financial Services
that offers a lot of great advantages.
So if you're within 4 months of graduation... or if you graduated
within the past two years.. See your Toyota dealer for details.

Nine Clarion players voted to All PSAC-West squad
Courtesy of Sports Information
Clarion University's 2001 foot-
ball team had nine players voted to
the All PSAC-West squad. The
voting was done by the PSAC-
West coaches and the team was
released by the Pennsylvania State
Athletic Conference.
Clarion first team selections
were Chris Janson and Doug
Diegelman on the defense and
Reggie Wells on the offense.
Second team selections on
offense included Adam Almashy,
Ryan Duchon and Demetric
Gardner. The defense featured
Kevin Platz, Dennis Yu and Myron
Hargon.
"I am very happy with our repre-
sentation on the PSAC-West squad
this year," said eighth year head
coach Malen Luke. "Chris
(Janson), Doug (Diegelman) and
Reggie (Wells) certainly deserved
their first team selections. They
had great seasons and really were
leaders on their respective sides of
the ball. Those making second
team also had very strong years
and my congratulations to them as
well."
lUP totaled 14 players on first
and second team. Clarion and
Slippery Rock had nine each,
while Edinboro notched eight,
Shippensburg and Lock Haven
seven and California five.
Clarion finished the season with
a 4-7 overall record and a 2-4 mark
in the PSAC-West against a very
tough schedule. Of the seven loss-
es, six were not decided until the
final minutes or seconds.
Clarion opened the year with a
33-27 loss at East Stroudsburg,
then lost 44-0 at Div.I-AA power
Youngstown State. The Golden
Eagles returned home to defeat
Tiffin 27-14, lost at Shippensburg
34-29 and returned hoe to post
solid wins over Kutztown 36-7
and California 29-22. A 24-12 loss
at Edinboro were followed by
home losses to Slippery Rock (33-
24) and lUP (35-34 overtime).
Clarion won 13-0 at Lock Haven
and closed the season with a 16-14
loss at West Chester.
Luke has an 8-year record of 41-
46 at Clarion and a collegiate
record of 78-67 in 14 year as a col-
legiate head coach.
Janson, a 6-0, 205 -pound senior
outside linebacker, had a tremen-
dous season leading Clarion's
defense. He was second in the
entire PS AC with 104 tackles, first
in sacks with 1 1 (-75 yards) and in
fumbles caused with four and sec-
ond in tackles-for- losses with 18 (-
85). He also tallied three fumble
recoveries and three broken-up
passes. A 2000 red-shirt, he posted
90 tackles, two tackles-for-losses,
three break-ups, two interceptions
and one fumble caused and recov-
ered in 1999 at strong safety. He

five fumbles caused, four intercep-
tions and four fumbles recovered.
Diegelman, a 6-1, 250-pound,
senior noseguard, also finished a
very strong career this season. He
posted 55 hits, nine quarterback
sacks (tied for 2nd in PSAC) for -
50 yards, 17 tackles-for-losses
(3rd in PSAC) for -71 yards and
one fumble recovery. In 2000 he
had 26 tackles, 12 tackles-for-loss-
es and seven quarterback sacks in
helping Clarion to the PSAC-West
title. For his career Doug compiled
134 tackles (63 solo), 44 tackles-
for-losses for - 198 yards, 23 quar-
terback sacks for -141 yards and
two fumble recoveries. He was a
2nd team PSAC-West choice in
2000.
Wells, a 6-4, 295-pound, junior,
offensive tackle, was the leader of
a very good offensive line.
Clarion's running game was one of
the tops in the country, especially
considering its tough schedule
(including Youngstown State-
ranked #6 as a team and 19th
ranked total defense). The Golden
Eagles ranked 15th in the nation in
rushing offense at 240.5 yards per
game while averaging 4.7 yards
per rush as a team. Against NCAA
Div. II Playofi^ bound lUP, whose
defense finished the season ranked
#1 in the PSAC against the run, the
Eagles rushed for 264 yards and
four rushing touchdowns while
averaging 4.2 yards per carry.
Wells is a three year starter on the
offensive line and is the son of for-
mer Clarion All-America basket-
ball player Reggie Wells (1975-
79). Clarion rushed for 195 yards
or more in nine of its 1 1 games this
season.
Almashy, a 6-2, 190-pound,
junior quarterback, was selected to
the second team for his running
and passing ability. He completed
78 of 201 passes for 1,173 yards
and eight touchdowns. He also
galloped for 447 yards and four
touchdowns on 157 carries as an
option quarterback. In 2000 he
passed for 1,700 yards and 16
touchdowns, along with running
for 307 yards and five touch-
downs. In his three-year career
Almashy has now completed 295
of 670 passes for 4,111 yards and
36 touchdowns. He ranks 7th in
passing yards and touchdown
passes. He also has rushed for 826
yards and 12 touchdowns on 415
carries.
Duchon, a 6-3, 310-pound,
junior, offensive guard, is a three
year starter on Clarion's offensive
line. A very mobile lineman for his
size, Duchon is a physical lineman
who helped lead Clarion's offense
to a total of 353 yards per game,
including 240.5 on the ground and
112.5 through the air. Ryan was a
first team selection at offensive
guard in the PSAC-West in 2000

advantage of 4.7 rebounds per
game against their opponents who
have been averaging 37.7.
As a whole the team has been
doing well in rebounds and scor-

of turnover occurring during the
game. The Golden Eagles also
need to work on their defensive
plays such as steals and blocks as
the season progresses.
Clarion will play at the Findlay
Tournament on Dec. 14-15.

announced.
Drug and alcohol program a success
Courtesy of the Clarion
Newswire site
Mike Green from the Collegiate
Consultants on Drugs and
Alcohol, recently brought his
message about drug and alcohol
abuse to Clarion University of
Pennsylvania.
The Clarion University Athletic
Department and Clarion
University Health Services co
sponsored the program. Clarion
University athletes and a large
percentage of the Greek fraternity
and sorority members were
required to attend, but the pro-
gram was open to all students.
Bob Carlson, Clarion University
athletic director, estimated that
approximately 2,000 students
attended the program.
"Mike is a speaker who has a
unique way of gettmg his message
across," says Carlson. "I think the
students enjoyed what he had to
say and I hope they take it to
heart."
Tom Gaydos, president of
Clarion University's Student
Athletic Advisory Committee,
was involved in securing Green
for the program.
"The Student Athletic Advisory
Committee looks for good speak-
ers who hit home with the facts
about drugs and alcohol," he says.
"Mike Green gave a great presen-
tation. He focused on one-nighters
or binge drinking. His talk is fun
to listen to. but he brings it all
back to earth by stories about the
realty of drinking and driving.
One of his big drawing points is
that he is a recovering alcdholic.
He demonstrates how much you
can do for yourself if you want to
do it."
Darlene Hartle, director of
Clarion University's Drug and
Alcohol programs, found the pro-
gram addressing the issues.
"There are issues of binge drink-
ing on every campus," she said
"Mike Green is a dynamic speak-
er who talks to the students in
their own language. He doesn't
talk about alcohol, but about.what
alcohol can do in a binge drinking
situation and the consequences of
such activities. He also urges the
students to employ "spotting,"
taking care of each other when
they are in alcohol related situa-
tions."
Green, a recovering alcoholic
with over 20 years of sobriety,
started his career at West Chester
University as a defensive football
coach and substance abuse coun-
selor. Soon, schools such as
Villanova Temple, and University
of Pennsylvania began inviting
him to speak to their students.
These local speaking engage-
ments turned into a full-time
occupation. Green believes col-
lege students are unaware of how
much they drink.
During his presentation. Green
advises those attending to:
never drink shots out of a glass
larger than one ounce; never have
more than three shots in a night;
never drink any alcohol stronger
than 90 proof; and if having two
or more shots to avoid mixed
drinks. Green also warns of symp-
toms of alcohol poisoning, and
gives advice on what to do if those
symptoms present themselves.

The cross country coaches of
the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference have selected Mark
Stallings of Millersville and
Sara Raschiatore of Indiana
(Pa.) as the 2001 Athletes of the
Year.
Chris Cowan of Lock Haven
and Lindsay Roberts of
Edinboro earned Rookie of the
Year honors. Edinboro's Doug
Watts and lUP's Ed Fry were
named by their peers as Coaches
of the Year for the men and
women, respectively.
Stallings, a junior from West
Chester (Great Valley HS), won
individual titles at the PSAC
and East Region
Championships. He outdis-
tanced his nearest competitors
by 13 seconds at the PSAC
Championship and 23 seconds
at the regional. Stallings then
went on to garner All-America
accolades with his 14th-place
finish at the national meet. His
efforts paced a Millersville team
that finished third at the confer-
ence, second at the regional and
20th at nationals.
A junior from Leechburg
(Kiski Area HS). Raschiatore,
like Stallings, earned top honors
at the PSAC and East Region
Championships. She topped the
field at PSACs by 13 seconds
and at regionals by 20 seconds.
Raschiatore then went on to
place as the top PSAC competi-
tor at the national meet, finish-
ing fourth overall as an Ail-
American.
Cowan, a freshman from
Horseheads, N.Y. (Thomas A.
Edison HS). was among the top
runners in the entire conference.
He won All-PSAC and All-East
Region honors with fourth- and
third-place finishes at those
championships, respectively.
Cowan had the third best finish
for the PSAC at the national
meet, finishing a respectable
46th.
Roberts, a freshman from
Wattsburg (Seneca HS), enjoyed
a fine rookie campaign. She had
all-conference and all-region
performances by placing 12th at
the PSAC meet and 11th at the
East Region meet. She helped
Edinboro take first-place finish-
es at both of those meets and a
seventh-place finish at nation-
als.
This year Watts directed the
Edinboro men to their 24th
PSAC title, all coming since his
arrival at the school in 1969.
Edinboro has won 10 straight
championships and 17 of the
last 18. Edinboro also captured
this season's regional title and
finished eighth on the national
stage. He had six runners finish
with All-PSAC accolades, five
with all-region, and one fin-
ished fourth in the country in
becoming an Ail-American.
Watts has now won the Coach of
the Year on the men's side for
the sixth time.
Fry earns his second PSAC
Coach of the Year Award and
first since 1990, the first year
for the award. This year he
guided lUP to a third-place fin-
ish at the conference champi-
onship and a second-place at the
regional. He then led the Indians
to a 15th-place mark at the
national championships. Under
his direction, three lUP women
earned all-conference honors
and two placed on the all-region
team.

Invitational in Las Vegas,
Nevada. Clarion had several
members place individuall and
the team placed #17 out of 40
participating teams.
Placing tops for Clarion was
133 pound, Rad Martinez.
Martinez took a 15-6 win over
Jim Malek in the second round.
In the quarterfinals, he took
another win over Cole
Province, 8-3. Martinez pro-
gressed to the semifinals where
he defeated Cory Ace, 8-5. In
the final round, Martinez took a
victory over Foley Dowd with a
finishing score of 9-2. Martinez
won the entire 133 pound
weight class for the invite.
Other placewinners for
Clarion were Dom Surra (149)
120.5 points.
The Wolverines are so bal-
anced that they were able to
dominate the team standing
despite having a number one,
two and three seed all fail to
place (Matt Brink withdrawing
at Heavyweight with a knee
injury).
The champions managed this
due to having nine men seeded
top four (seven in the top three)
and they were led as expected
by 2-time All-Americans,
seniors Otto Olson (174) and
Andy Hrovat (184) who won
decisively in the finals.
In what may have the tour-
ney's finest bout, however,
Olson was stiffly challenged by

teammates scored 48.5 points in

to place Clarion #17.

nation's #2 top-ranked man at
174, found himself down 4-1 at
the end of the first period after
being taken down twice, but the
Wolverine pounced for the next
three takedowns, including one
spectacular somersault over the
top for a counter two.
The last take down, with 1:01
to go, left Olson ahead 8-7.
Jones got out with 0:55 to go
and knotted 8-8 on the board.
But Olson had just enough rid-
ing time (1:02) to force Jones to
go for broke and he did so with
numerous flurries that con-
sumed the final 30 seconds in
with
buzzer to calm storm,
Olson victorious 9-8.
The battle for second place
was guaranteed to be won in the
mountains, as the Mountaineers
of West Virginia clinched the
berth only with an upset win by
Tom McMath over Lehigh
Mountain Hawk Chris Vitale in
points throughout, and it meant
the EIWA enjoyed four final-
ists—which was exceeded by
five for the EWL, the two lead-
ing conferences in finalists.
Sixth place, Edinboro, would
have climbed higher had Josh
Koscheck made the trip as the
nation's top wrestler at 174.

LU's second-ever Vegas champ 165, along with fellow team
and the first since NCAA cham-
pion Matt Ruppel in Dec. '89.
Ironically, they were both at the
same weight. The six placewin-
ners for Lehigh was a school
record, as was their total of two
finalists.
A superb freshman effort was

Predictions
We, Ue Ciarm <^a// staff, have
made some predictions for the
upcoming year and beyond for
Clarion University.
* We predict that no one will go
to the Double Treat Bakery
because they still won't know
where it is.
* We predict that people will start
getting school spirit and attend
sporting events.
* We predict that beer pong will
become a varsity sport.
* We predict that our staff will
not have to stay at the office until

ferences and hop a plane to Las
Vegas.
* We predict the library will be
complete... for our children.

national.

abusing the Welfare system will
stop getting food stamps and get

worth the effort even if only one
student attends the event being
offered.
* We predict that 2 am trips to
Walmart will still take our money.

never stop making the best hot
dogs.

longer be a 45 minute wait at
Sheetz on a Friday or Saturday

complaining about the music
reviews that Keith Gwillim

where will take even the silliest

Dear Editor:
Please find the enclosed letter
recently mailed to the Clarion
County Courthouse to the atten-
tion of your county judge. I think
that matters of this nature which
directly affect your student popu-
lation should be brought to your
attention.
Thank you for your time,
Glenda C. Yocum
Judge Arner:
Three years ago I began visit-
ing colleges with my eldest
daughter. Her final decision to
attend Clarion University, though
made primarily with academics
in mind, was greatly influenced
by the size, climate and safety of
the town and campus. Both were
clean, small, assuredly safe with
a low crime rate. I felt my daugh-
ter would be safe.
After a year and a half of deal-
ing with repeated situations of
harassment, degradation,
embarassment, intimidation and
physical abuse, my daughter was
encouraged by the Clarion Police
Department and the local SAFE
office to file a Protection From
Abuse order against the individ-
ual.
Because I feared for my daugh-
ter's safety and well-being, I sup-
ported and encouraged this legal
action.
She was repeatedly expressing
the need to leave school to get
away from him and the constant
fear.
In October of 2001, you signed
a temporary order and the inci-
dents stopped immediately. I
thought the system had worked.
My daughter slowly began to
feel safe again. As her parent, I
had peace of mind.
However, on Jan. 18, 2002, I
had the unfortunate opportunity
to witness and be a part of an
absurd experience of judicial
injustice.
On this day, in a hearing to con-
tinue the protection order, you
dismissed the case because there
was no "proof of substantial"
pain or physical injury. This is
apparently because no bones
were broken, and no permanent
visible scars were left from the
incidents.
With this decision you send a
dangerous message to the
Clarion University community,
the student athletes, the Greek
campus community and the gen-
eral student population.
At my daughter's emotional
expense, you have clearly told
this community that telephone
harassment, verbal abuse, public
degradation, intimidation, and
physical attacks are acceptable
behavior as long as it does not
cause "substantial," or should I
say visible, physical impairment.
I do thank you for your public
admission that you do not con-
done the defendants behavior
however, this will set a fatuous
and inexcusable standard of
acceptable behavior on campus
and in your local community.
I cringe at the idea that this is
okay in your community. Young
men and women now have a
much lower standard by which to
live. How sad to have young
adults think, that in the court's
eyes, this is an acceptable way to
treat another person.
My eyes have been opened to
the fact that the "good old boy"
mentality of years gone by is
alive and well in some communi-
ties. Sadly, I also realize now
why so many women die every
year as a result of an abusive
relationship. There is no legal
recourse for them until some-
thing substantial happens.
I will not be considering
Clarion University for our other
three children. I most definitely
will be sharing our indelible
experience in your courtroom
and your community with the
multitudes.
Disgusted and nauseated,

Editorial, Graham Hermaims
This summer some friends and
I are planning to move to Ocean
City, Maryland to work for the
summer and have a good time,
I currently have a job with the
Ocean City Beach Patrol, along
with three of my roommates.
I can't wait until this summer
comes along and I will be mak-
ing money, and getting a tan.
This is a great opportunity for
my friends and I to work our
way to total independence.
My reason for telling you all
this is to touch on the subject of
summer work in general.
This is or close to the time,
when everyone starts to think
about summer money. Some
people are going home to jobs
they've held in the past or going
home to find a new job. But a
few Clarion students will go
away from home and work
some place new.
With this in mind I have to ask
why is it so difficult to get these
summer jobs? Maybe it is just
my own experience with sum-
mer work. I am always looking
for job three weeks into the
summer, and it is a difficult
task.
I want something new every
year. I guess it is because I want
to be a diverse person and gain
experience that will be benefi-
cial in just about any job.
Another consideration is
money. I can't just take any job.
The summer job has to be finan-
cially stable so that I can make
enough money for the school
year.
I work during the summer to
pay for my university educa-
tion. It frustrates me that I must-
slave away during the summers
to make payments to stay afloat.
Inspite of this, I realize that
working is a part of life and it
teaches us lessons in money
management, and how to sur-
vive in the real world.
I don't mean to give the
impression that summer work is
a drag. Make it fun and enjoy-
able.
And for those of you who still
haven't found a job, Clarion is
holding its Annual Summer Job
Fair on Feb. 13 in Tippin
Gymnasium.
There will be different orga-
nizations to choose from that
can give you a great summer
experience.

applied to this column was that of
a park: A Hide Park, where those
who wished to comment could

I debated and worried over what
to call this space. I tried to be lit-

go for something that reflected
my mentality, rather than try to be

said, "Free Press" was my deci-
sion.

OP//\ffO/\l
Former student dissatisfied with graduate program
Dear Editor:
/ thought this may serve as an open
opinion or letter to the editor I hope it
will somehow make a difference.
I was a graduate student in the
Master's Program offered through
Clarion University's Communication
Department until January of this year.
I will not be returning due to per-
sonal reasons that I also share with
many others enrolled in the Master's
Program in the Communication
Department; whether they also choose
to leave the department, I do not know.
Out of the three graduate level
courses I took last semester I can say
without exaggeration I learned nothing
of value or relevancy to the course in
two of the three. One course was mas-
terfully taught.
I was sent an outdated course catalog
in the process of applying to Clarion
University, as were some others in the
program.
Regardless, the curriculum for the
program was not what I was under the
impression it would be, given the
information I had based my decision
on.
I am not lazy. My undergraduate
GPA in my major (Communications-
Media) from Indiana University of
Pennsylvania was 3.78. I also held
several positions in Phi Sigma Pi,
National Honors Fraternity, including
Initiate Advisor.
Clarion University had a reputation
for having a superior Communication
program; many of my undergraduate
professors are Clarion University
alumni. However, outdated equipment,
false pretenses and a poorly developed
program has in my opinion made the
majority of the students enrolled
unhappy and tarnished that reputation.
I am one who chooses to not waste
my time or my money. It is unfortunate
that a program dealing with adult edu-
cation lacks the ability to practice
what it preaches.

Are Allah and Yahweh
the same God?
Dear Editor:
In Chapter four verse 39 of the
Old Testament book
Deuteronomy, Moses declares,
"Understand this today and take it
to heart: Yahweh is God indeed in
the heavens above as on the earth
beneath, He and no other."
However, the followers of
Mohammed, Islam's Moses, also
declare, "There is no other God
than Allah!"
Question-Are Allah and
Yahweh the same God?
The 1.2 billion disciples of
Mohammed do not accept Moses
as God's prophet. They do not
believe in the Old and New
Testament, the Trinity, the divini-
ty of Jesus, and the sacraments,
such as Baptism.
Christians are termed infidels.
So who is Allah whom
Mohammed's followers call
God?
This former Roman Catholic
semenarian believes Allah is
Baal, the god who the desert
tribes worshiped at the time of the
Exodus of the Hebrews from
Egypt.
Baal is the ancient enemy of
God whom Jesus saw fall from
heaven. It was Baal whom Jesus
defeated in the desert when the
son of God declared, "Be gone
Satan!"
The First Commandment given
by God, Yahweh, to Moses
instructs, "I am the Lord your
God. You shall have no other
gods other than me."

Weekend Activities Expanded for CUP students
Contributed by
University Relations
There will be more for stu-
dents to do on weekends at
Clarion University during the
Spring 2002 semester. The ini-
tiative for this effort is coming
from the students, through the
efforts of the Student Senate.
According to a new Weekend
Initiative policy passed by
Clarion University's Student
Senate, Clarion Student
Association (CSA) funded orga-
nizations are required to provide
one weekend event per year to
continue to receive student
activity fee funds.
Organizations, which are
allowed to hold joint events,
submitted three events and dates
to the Student Senate's Rules
Regulations and Policies
Committee. The committee
selected which activity and date
the organization would sponsor.
The Student Senate in coordina-
tion with the Faculty Senate will
monitor the events to ensure that
they are being held and to record
student attendance.
Student Senate President
Benjamin Chervenak was opti-
mistic about the future of the
project and appreciative of the
work put into it.
"The Weekend Initiative pro-
motes campus activites and
gives students more of a chance
to become involved with the
university," Chervenak said.
"The past two senates, with help
from other university members,
have worked hard in the creation
and promotion of this program.
We are all very excited that we
will start to see the initiative
take form."
Guidelines for approved activ-
ities include: being open to all
Clarion University students,
occurring primarily on Friday or
Saturday, being held on campus
except for those needing special
facilities, and being alcohol
free.
"I think the weekend inititative
is a great idea," says Student
Senate Vice President Missy
Gring. "It will provide activities
for students on the weekends,
giving them an option to stay on
campus and participate. They
will no longer be able to say
there is nothing to do on campus
during the weekends."

Double Treat Bakery has something for everyone
by Angela Bautista
Double Treat Bakery might be
unfamiliar to some, but to others
it is just what they are looking
for. The bakery is located under
Chandler Dining Hall. Double
Treat Bakery features a wide
variety of goodies for everyone
to enjoy. Whether you have a
sweet tooth, or are watching your
waist line, Double Treat Bakery
has something for everyone.
The bakery opened the week
before Thanksgiving break last
semester. Throughout the years,
talks were made about starting a
bakery, and last semester they
fmally came to a head when the
bakery opened.
The bakery is run by Jeff
Gauger, senior director of
Nutrition Services at Clarion
University. Chartwells, who
caters Chandler Dining Hall and
Gemmell, also caters for Double
Treat Bakery. The bakery itself
has a staff of four members. They
bake all of the goods in the bak-
ery. Everything is made fresh.
Upon entering the bakery, you
are engulfed with the smell of
fresh cookies and muffins, which
are being prepared. A full line of
soft drinks are offered as well as
cold meat and cheese platters,
subs, sandwich combos, and
fresh fruit. Several different vari-
eties of Ritazza coffee and teas
are available as well as cappucci-
no.
Another perk the bakery has to
offer is that you can pre-order
food for special gatherings acco-
modating a larger crowd. Those
items consist of decorated cakes,
pies, homemade bread, cookies,
veggie, and meat and cheese
platters.
To Gauger 's surprise, more
people bought the decorated
cakes than expected. Another
great surprise for Double Treat
Bakery is the increasing amount
of faculty and students the bak-
ery is serving every day.
Since the bakery just opened
last semester, word of mouth has
been their only source of adver-
tisement. In the near future, they
are hoping to get flyers out and
post them around campus.
From last semester until this
semester, they have elongated
their hours to 7:30 a.m. until 2
p.m. If the growth of people con-
tinues, one day the bakery would
like to expand and have a cafe
added according to Gauger.
"We do not want to relocate
because it is a very good loca-
tion. Many people walk past it
every day," Gauger said.
There are a few tables located
outside the bakery, but most peo-
ple just get their food to go.
Chartwells feels that the type of
atmosphere that Double Treat
Bakery has is the future to cam-
pus foods. Instead of the usual
Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call
Located below Chandler, the Double Treat Bakery offers a
variety of baked and deli goods for the students and faculty
of CUP.
one large dining facility like
many universities have, several
small ones would exist.
If Double Treat Bakery contin-
ues with the success it is having,
they hope to one day expand into
Carlson Library, Wilkinson Hall,
and Nair Hall. Double Treat
Bakery is for the typical college
student on the go. Students can
use their flex or cash to pay for
anything in the bakery.
I would like to welcome all of my
new writers to the team.
I hope this semester is a
fun experience for all of you.

Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Colony Factory Crafted
Homes in Clarion decided to
add an additional $5,000 to the
Commodore
Corporation/Richard Boyle
Scholarship at Clarion
University of Pennsylvania.
This additional scholarship
money will provide an opportu-
nity for the children of the
company's employees.
The scholarship will give
those who would not normally
be able to attend college a
chance to do so.
The management team of this
scholarship fund made the
donation in memory of the late
Clair Davis.
The donation came from the
employees of Colony Homes
and from the management
team's portion of the profit
sharing program for the year
2001.
The management team at
Colony Factory Homes
includes Wayne Wright, gener-
al manager; Jim Mahle, pro-
duction manager; Joe
Niederriter, material manager;
Carol Truscott, controller;
Tracy Kirby, sales manager;
Jim Distler. service manager;
and Ben Call, quality control
manager.
Julia Eckert, University
Advancement, accepted the
check for Clarion University.
"Scholarship endowments are
very important to the
University as a whole." Eckert
said.
Wright and Davis' son, Jeff,
presented this award, repre-
senting his family. He is a pro-
duction worker for the partition
build up department at Colony
Homes.
The Commodore
Corporation/Richard Boyle
Scholarship was established in
memory of the former manager
Richard Boyle in 1992, with
the Clarion University
Foundation by the Commodore
Corporation.
The applicants for this schol-
arship must be recent high
school graduates intending to
seek a college degree and must
also be a natural or adopted
child of an employee who
works full-time for either of
the plants.
By completing the
Pennsylvania State Grant and
Federal Student Aid
Application, the prospective
students will make evident
their intended financial need.
This application is available
at either the Clarion University
Financial Aid Office or from
high school guidance coun-
selors. The student must also
submit a written statement of
application and at least two let-
ters of recommendation.
Provided that the recipient
can maintain a quality point
average of 2.5 and remains in
good standing toward his or her
intended degree, the scholar-
ship will be renewable for over
four years at Clarion
University.
All the scholarship funds will
be administered by the Clarion
University Foundation, orga-
nized in 1969. The Foundation
was initially created to pro-
mote educational purposes at
the request of Clarion
University.
The organization was desig-
nated to manage and receive
private sector gifts provided
for support of programs and
activities of the University.
These gifts are gathered
through the contributions
donated by faculty and staff,
alumni, retired faculty mem-
bers, business and industry, and
other friends around the area.

Student Senate discusses Issue of the Year

Monday evening's 13 Student
Senate meeting began with a
welcome back to all members to
a new year and a new semester
with discussion of the Issue of
the Year.
Senator Collier opened the
Senate's New Business session
with concerns regarding troops
in Afghanistan. According to
Senator Collier, the troops in
Afghanistan need snack food,
magazines, cards, clothing, etc.
In order for achievement with
this program, Senate is looking
for help from campus organiza-
tions as well as community
involvement to donate, collect,
and send such items.
Information concerning the
Issue of the Year is posted on
Interhall's Toilet Talk. In
February, President Chervenak
will be speaking on the Issue of
the Year at the BSGP in

Senate article in the Dec. 6, 2001 issue. The following
article describes the events of the Dec. 3 meeting.
by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
Clarion University Student
Senate passed five motions
presented by Vice President
Missy Gring during the Dec. 3
meeting. First, Vice President
Gring moved to transfer
$254,719.50 from the Large
Item Capital account to the
CSA Board of Directors
Special Projects Fund.
This motion serves to divide
the bookstore profits from the
student activity funds so
Senate could more easily
access money from these
accounts in the long run. This
motion passed 20-0-0.
Next, Vice President Gring
moved to accept $505,338
from the CSA Board of
Directors and to put it in con-
trol of Student Senate as the
general fund reserve account;
the motion carried 20-0-0.
Vice President Gring's next
motion had been a result of
President Diane Reinhard's
request for Senate to consider
donating $25,000 to the
Clarion Fire Company. Senate
President Ben Chervenak pre-
sented this idea to Senate dur-
ing the Nov. 19 meeting,
explaining that these funds
would be used by the fire
department to help make pay-
ments on their new ladder
truck.
Vice President Gring moved
to allocate $12,500 from the
general fund reserve account
to the Clarion Fire Company,
pending the approval of
President Reinhard. The
motion passed 20-0-0.
Next, Vice President Gring
moved to freeze the general
fund reserve account until
Student Senate has the final
count after the $12,500 is
removed; the motion passed
by a 20-0-0 vote.
Finally, Vice President
Gring moved to approve the
revised 2001-2002 Student
Senate committee list. This
motion appoints Senator
Terrilyn Cheatham to the fol-
lowing committees: Student
Relations; Campus Safety,
Health, & Environmental
Concerns; and Housing
Concerns sub-chair.
Senator Cheatham has
recently been appointed to
Student Senate to replace for-
mer Senator Dustin Tudor,
who was removed from office
during the Nov. 19 meeting.
Tudor's removal resulted
from an act, which violated
the Student Senate confiden-
tiality policy.
According to Article IX,
Section IX, Part B of the
Senate constitution, "A
Student Senator may be
removed from office for one
or more of the
following. ..verifiable non-
feasance, misfeasance, or
mal-feasance of the duties of
Student Senators as outlined
in Article VIII, section I of
the Constitution of the
Clarion Students'
Association..."
Webster's Dictionary
defines mal-feasance as,
"wrongdoing or misconduct,
especially by a public offi-
cial."
Following an executive ses-
sion during the Nov. 19 meet-
ing, Vice President Gring
moved to remove Senator
Tudor from office, effective
immediately. The motion
passed by a 13-6-1 vote.
President Chervenak said,
"What happened with Dustin
was a very unfortunate event.
But I feel Senate dealt with
the problem very maturely
and responsibly and that the
actions taken were correct for
the circumstances."
However, some senators
disagreed with the decision.
Senator Tim Smith said,
"Dustin worked very hard for
Senate; for his committee
reports, he always had long
and in-depth reports. He was
a vital part of Student Senate.
He is a good guy that made a
mistake. I know he would
never make that mistake
again, but unfortunately the
majority of Senate did not see
it that way."
During the Nov. 26 meeting.
Student Senate had to move to
appoint the new senator.
There was a tie between
Cheatham and Marcie Lyle, a
candidate supported by the
Returning Adults and
Commuter Students (RACS)
organization. However, after a
secret ballot, Cheatham won
by a 9-8-1 vote.
Upon conclusion of her first
meeting. Senator Cheatham
said, "I'm looking forward to

an 18-2-0 vote.
Treasurer Clopp reported
the following current account
balances: Supplemental,
$9,826; Supplemental

Tickets are $10 for students

addition, he said Interhall
received 315 orders for final
exam kits, which is double the
amount of kits ordered last
year.
On behalf of the Campus
Safety, Health, &
Environmental Concerns
Committee, Senator Jen Reis
said Clarion residents would
be fined $69 for not shoveling
sidewalks during the winter.
Business Manager, Mr. Krull
said this fine is enforced
throughout semester breaks so
off-campus students should
make arrangements with their
landlords for snow removal.

announced Senator Barb
Hammond as the Dec. 3

hard work and dedication to
the recently held blood drive.

Committee, said next semes-
ter the recreation center

tion, athletics may now use

Gymnasium is closed. Finally,
the Gemmell brick project is
looking to have alumni pur-
chase the benches placed

Catch the love bug with WCUC's brand-new Dating Game
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
Feeling those Valentine's
Day blues already? Are you
eternally single, doomed to
walk this earth in solitude for
the rest of your days? Okay -
there's hope for you yet!
Clarion University's WCUC-
FM is holding a "Dating
Game" this Valentine's Day,
February 14, and they want to
hook you up!
Based on the classic dating
games of TV yesteryear.
Clarion's dating game will
follow the same formula.
There will be two rounds in
the game, with a total of eight
contestants. One round will
feature a panel of three guys
competing for the affections
of one girl, and the other will
have three girls competing for
one guy.
The game will work this
way: in one round, a panel of
three guys will field questions
from the one girl, and she will
make her decision based on
their responses, and vice versa
for the second round.
The two winning couples
will be rewarded with a free
movie at Destinta Theaters
that night.
The "Dating Game" show
will air on DJ "Kramer"'s
"Weekend Warmup" show,
from 7 - 9 PM on Thursday,
February 14.
Len Ducouer, IT Director at
WCUC, and Clarion
University senior, when asked
about the planning of the
event, said that "Everything
just fell into place this year."
This is the first time an event
such as this has been held by
WCUC.
Interested students can pick
up an application to be on the
show in the DJ booth, located
in downstairs Becker.
Applications are due by
Monday, February 11, and
interviews will be held by
WCUC's PR staff.
The "Dating Game" is open
to Clarion University students
only. If you have any ques-
tions regarding the event, con-
tact WCUC at 393-2514.

Movie Review
The Mothman Prophecies avoids cliches, but fails to excite
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Li/estj les Editor
When I first heard the title
of the new Richard Gere
movie, the name conjured up
images of watching TNT's
"MonsterVision" at two
o'clock in the morning when I
was 12. The Mothman
Prophecies'! I mean, it sounds
like a rejected Ed Wood script
idea. I half expected to see
some guy cavorting around in
a giant rubber moth suit.
Thankfully, writers Mark
Pellington (who also directed)
and Richard Hatem avoid such
cliches and cheap parlor
tricks. That we never truly
catch a glimpse of the
"Mothman" in question is one
of the film's biggest assets,
and what elevates this sus-
penseful tale above the usual
thriller movie fodder. So if
you were expecting a huge
half man/half moth who rips
off unsuspecting peoples'
heads in the dead of night,
stay away.
Pellington, who also direct-
ed the severely underrated
Arlington Road (starring Tim
Robbins), continues to
demonstrate his skill at
manipulating the audience for
the film's duration, constantly
making you believe exactly
what he wants you to, and
only what he wants you to,
until the credits roll. While
that makes the film a bit
manipulative, it mostly works.
To say that Pellington is
becoming a master of sus-

pense is not a large exaggera-
tion.
The plot of The Mothman
Prophecies centers around
Washington Post star reporter
John Kleine (Richard Gere),
and the whirlwind of bizarre
events he's thrown into after
the sudden death of his wife,
Mary (Debra Messing).

where strangeness hasn't been
a stranger as of late. Many of
the townspeople have reported
sightings of the exact same
thing Mary witnessed, and
police officer Connie Parker
(Laura Linney) is at a loss for
an explanation.
The proceedings become
even more bizarre when one
of the townspeople (Will
Patton) starts to believe that
the Mothman, calling itself
Indrid Cold, is visiting him.
and telling him of future dis-
asters. Kleine, originally only
curious, starts to truly believe
in the Mothman when the
foretold tragedies start to hap-
pen, such as a plane crash in
Denver.
Driven by his desire to know
what haunted his wife's
dreams, and of a sense of
responsibility to protect the
town from an impending dis-
aster he feels is unavoidable,
Kleine devotes his entire
being to the unraveling of the
Mothman mysteries.
Performances by all are
above average; Gere in partic-
ular is surprisingly good,
showing more range than I
ever thought he had before.
Anylhing's a step up from his
last performance, though, in
Dr. T And The Women. Gere is
also reunited with his Primal
Fear co-star, Laura Linney,
who also turns in a fine per-
formance. There's really not
much for her character to do,
as most of the narrative cen-
ters around Kleine's emotions,
not Parker's, but she is able to
humanize the character, some-
thing that is vital to the role.
Another surprise, acting-
wise, is Debra Messing's per-
formance. Who'd have
thought that an actress previ-
ously known mainly for a net-
work sitcom had such acting
chops? Her wonderful and
sympathetic performance
makes one wish her part was
larger.
The main problem with The
Mothman Prophecies lies not
in the direction, or acting, but
in the script. Despite
Pellington's skill in propelling
the action forward, there's
only so much he can do with
the narrative itself, which is
rarely compelling.
Pellington's direction is fresh,
deep and crisp - it's a shame I
can't say the same thing for
his writing. It's never awful,
just certainly not exceptional,
and prone to cliches and pre-
dictability (not to mention a
few plot holes).
The Mothman Prophecies'
strengths lie in atmosphere
and allusions; creating a
mood, rather than telling a
story. With a better backbone,
this could've been a power-
house suspense thriller. As it
stands, an entertaining romp
that doesn't stay with you
long after you've left your
theater seat.
Much like Arlington Road,
there are many intentional
loose ends by the time the film
has ended, some that are bet-
ter left in the dark, much like
the Mothman itself, and others
that really should have been
addressed. I, for one, keep
asking myself, "Just how
much better could this film
have been?" 3 out of 5 stars.

Coach Herman Boone, whose
story was told in the Walt Disney
movie Remember the Titans, will
speak at Clarion University, Feb.
4, 4 p.m., in Hart Chapel. Boone's
presentation is part of the Martin
Luther King Jr. Speaker Series
and is free and open to the public.
Boone was the coach of the T.C.
Williams Titan football team in
Alexandria, Va., when three
schools were integrated in 1971.
Boone was picked as head coach
of the Titans over Bill Yoast, the
local favorite and successful head
coach of the white Hammond
High School. Yeast's supporters
were angered by Boone's
appointment, which was a gesture
of goodwill to the black commu-
nity.
The two coaches could put aside
their prejudices and unified their
players to form. a team that had a
13-0 season and went on to win
the state championship. The
coaches unified their team, and
the team unified the small.
Virginia community.
Boone was played by Academy
Awaid-winning actor Denzel
Washington in Remember the
Titans, and, now in retirement.
Boone contmues to motivate and
inspire audiences with presenta-
tions on teamwork, respect, com-
munity involvement and impor-
tance of character.
This presentation is sponsored
by the Martin Luther King Jr.
Committee, Office of Minority
Student Services, and Office of
the Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences.
The Clarion University Martin
Luther King Jr. Committee main-
tains that the breath of Dr. Kind's
heritage as an American leader is
a mainly untapped source. This
year, the committee seeks to
focus on the theme of
"L-eadership and Achievement
Through Diversity."
Some areas of Dr. King's
involvement to further social jus-
tice include all levels of school-
ing, human violence, intolerance,
gender issues and the structure of
job opportunities. Programs in
these and other domains devel-
oped through various academic
disciplines Seem appropriate for

Spoon dishes out simple, tuneful rock
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifes^ S?!'.9r.
ARTIST/ALBUM: Spoon -
Girls Can Tell.
FOR FANS OF: Pub rock
shaded by new wave.
FOR FURTHER LISTEN-
ING: Elvis Costello and the
Attractions' This Years
Model, Nick Lowe's Pure
Pop For New People.
Nobody appreciates the
beauty of simplicity anymore.
One could argue that it's a
lost art. Between overpro-
duced, flashy pop stars and
apeish metal bands that don't
realize it's a fine line
between genuine angst and
unintentional self-parody,
there's seemingly nowhere to
turn. For those who care only
about the music, and not the
detritus surrounding it, there
are slim pickings.
But if you were to search
long and hard enough (all the
way to Austin, Tx., to be pre-
cise), you might happen upon
a weathered little band by the
name of Spoon, and their
third album. Girls Can Tell.
After the intentionally
messy, exceedingly raucous A
Series Of Sneaks failed to
ignite Spoonmania, they were
dropped like a bad habit by
major label Elektra. But like
Joe Strummer said so many
years before. "I've been beat
up/I've been thrown out/But
I'm not down," a mantra
Spoon has followed like the
gospel.
The kindly indie label
Merge took them under their
protective wing, and the
tightly-wound, shimmering
Girls Can Tell is the result of
the arduous trial. Spoon is at
once on this album weary yet
energetic, reserved yet raw, a
bruised pugilist uith too
much manna to lay down and
concede defe;it.
That dichotomy is at the
heart of Girls Can Tell, with
lead singer/guitarist Britt
Daniel revealing the shards of
broken dreams and the tri-
umph of rediscovery and
reinvention with every hoarse
cry he utters.
On one hand, you have the
moody Elektra kiss-off,
"Lines In The Suit," with its
thinly-veiled references to
A&R executives and heart-
breaking lines such as "The
picture is coming around
now/It could have been easi-
optimism and hopefulness in
lines like "I gotta change my
mind tonight/I can still
change my mind tojiight"
which balances perfectly with
sentiments of denial such as
"I go to sleep and think that
you're next to me."
That's not to say that Girls
Can Tell is all one big dour
affair. The new wave-influ-
enced parable "Take The
Fifth" is merely concerned
with a Saturday night around
er/How come I feel so washed
up/At such a tender age." Yet
you also have the devotional
"Me And The Bean," with
Daniel admitting to a lover
■'I'll bring you cover when
you're old/You'll bring me
youth when I grow old."
Indeed, many of the themes
contained in Girls Can Tell
deal mainly with the onset of
age and loss (of innocence, of
youth, but never of passion).
Even when Daniel is at his
lowest ebb, as in the breakup
saga "Everything Hits At
Once," there's a hard-bitten
town, along with the charac-
ters that go along with such a
setting, and the musically
jubilant "Anything You
Want" is an ode to sticking
together despite insurmount-
able differences.
Spoon does choose to return
to seeing with the jaded eye
for the album's close, howev-
er, starting with the overcast
instrumental stew of "This
Book Is A Movie," and cap-
ping it all off with "Chicago
At Night." While not techni-
cally a story-song, the eerie
"Chicago.." relates the tale of
a woman at the end of her
rope, walking the streets
where "everybody's at a dis-
advantage, speaking with
their second language." The
decision to end this particular
album on a down note seems
a rather odd choice, and is
Girls Can TelTs only flaw.
Thankfully, it's a blemish
that's easily overlooked.
As for the music itself,
there's nary a misstep to be
found in this album, as each
and every song is a perfect
realization of what it's
intended to be. Longtime
fans might be slightly put-off
by the sound of Girls Can
Tell, though. For those
expecting the angular punk
band Spoon, look elsewhere.
Spoon's trials and tribula-
tions have not only changed
their lyrical outlook, but
musical as well.
There's a hint of melan-
choly lurking behind every
precision-plucked guitar
string; a flash of malice echo-
ing in every snare hit, and
more than a little wounded
pride sloshing around those
bass lines. Spoon has
matured, to be sure, but cer-
tainly not grown old and
stuffy.
The building potboiler of
"Believing Is Art" is all the
proof of that you should
need. As the terse, tense gui-
tar lines slowly coil up
tighter and tighter, drum tem-
pos increase to a feverish
pace as Daniel moves from a
breathless croon to a panicky,
unpredictable yelp.
The staccato, revved-up
blues number "Take A Walk"
also proves that you don't
need to play punk music to
approximate the same vibe.
A wonderfully extended mid-
dle finger to girls and other
troubles, "Take A Walk"
comes off like an early Elvis
Costello single, equally at
home in a smoky bar as it
would be a punk club.
Most of the album's tracks
adopt a more sedate version
of "Take A Walk," that being
a bar band playing to a 1983
crowd of kids with spiky hair
and skinny ties. "Everything
Hits At Once" is fleshed out
with keyboards, steady,
almost mechanical drum-
ming, an underpinning of
piano and Daniel's idiosyn-
cratic guitar, whose quick,
short riffs are instantly
burned into your brain.
"Anything You Want" is the
album's happiest track, a
bouncy slice of new wave,
mixing playful piano and
keyboards together perfectly,
resulting in a jaunty little
number that seems a lot more
disposable than it really is.
The most surprising track
off of Girls Can Tell is the
delicate folk of "10 20 AM."
Haunting mellotron lines
colour in this song of separat-
ed lovers, as Daniel's deli-
cately strummed acoustic gui-
tar provides an unforgettable
melody. "10 20 AM" also
shows Spoon experimenting
with vocal harmony, with
intoxicating effects.
While three years in the
making. Girls Can Tell is a
huge pay-off, and in itself is
more of a thumbed nose at the
record industry than the
barbed lyrics contained with-
in. That a group could be
dropped over an album such
as this shows plainly how lost
the music world at large is.
Thankfully, Spoon haven't
lost sight yet. Girls Can Tell
is a declaration that to create
fresh, enthralling rock, you
don't need virtuoso playing,
flashy stage shows or odd
time signatures; all you really
need is craft, conviction and
passion. 4 1/2 out of 5.

Send in your weasel jokes (unless you're Canadian)
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
The
••••••••••••••••••••••I
•••••••••
scjen-
t 1 f 1 c
community, having run out of things
to clone, is now trying to identify the
World's Funniest Joke. I refer to a
project called Laugh Lab, being con-
ducted by Dr. Richard Wiseman of the
University of Hertfordshire (pro-
nounced "Scotland").
Dr. Wiseman has set up an Internet
site, www.laughlab.co.uk/home.html,
that has received more than 10,000
jokes, which have been rated by more
than 100,000 people, most of them
wrong. I say this because the joke
they have so far rated as the funniest
is this:
"Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson
are going camping. They pitch their
tent under the stars and go to sleep.
Sometime in the middle of the night
Holmes wakes Watson up. 'Watson,
look up at the stars, and tell me what
you deduce.' Watson says, 'I see mil-
lions of stars and even if a few of
those have planets, it's quite likely
there are some planets like Earth, and
if there are a few planets like Earth
out there, there might also be life.'
Holmes replied: 'Watson, you idiot,
somebody stole our tent!'"
Now, I'm not saying this is a bad
joke. I'm just saying this is not even
close to being the funniest joke in the
world. It would be funnier if Holmes
woke Watson up and said, "Watson,
there's a weasel chomping on my pri-
vates!" I'm not sure where the joke
would go from there, but you can't go
wrong with a setup like that.
Of course, some would disagree.
And when I say "some," I of course
mean "women." Women generally dis-
like groinular humor; this is one of
the startling findings — and when I
say "startling" I mean "not startling"
— of the Laugh Lab project. I have
been listening to people — and when I
say "people," I mean "men" — tell
jokes for longer than 50 years (I don't
mean the jokes take longer than 50
years to tell, although some of them
come close) and I can state for a sci-
entific fact that the funnier a joke is,
the more likely a woman is to react by
saying: "That's disgusting!" As if
that's a BAD thing.
According to a Laugh Lab press
release, women don't like jokes that
involve aggression, sexuality or
offensiveness — also known as "the
three building blocks of humor." The
release states that women prefer
"jokes involving word plays." It gives
the following example of a joke that
women like, but men dislike:
"A man had a dog called Minton.
One day Minton ate two shuttlecocks.
When the owner found out he said bad
Minton!!"
Whoo-HOO! "Bad Minton!!" Get it?
Here, sniff these smelling salts.
I'll tell you who else has a serious
humor deficiency: Canada. I say this
because, according to Laugh Lab, the
following joke was rated highest by
Canadians: "What do you call a
woman who can balance four pints of
beer on her head? Beatrix."
Get it? "Beatrix!" Which sounds
sort of, but not quite enough, like
"Beer Tricks!" Ha ha! Maybe it would
be funnier if they called her
"Minton."
Laugh Lab also had people rate
jokes that were generated by a com-
puter. This is important research,
because if computers can produce
workable jokes, humanity may finally
see the long-awaited day when humor
columnists have to work even less
than they do now. Unfortunately, the
highest-rated joke that the computer
produced was: "What kind of murder-
er has fiber? A cereal killer."
Granted, that's better than what
Canada came up with. But it's not up
to the standards of, say, Yemen.
Anyway, if you want to participate
in the Laugh Lab project, you can go
to the Internet site and rate some
jokes. But I warn you: Don't have
food in your mouth! Because the
hilarity level of these jokes is sure to
make you go: "Huh?" For example,
here's one I was asked to rate: "Why
do elephants have big ears? Noddy
wouldn't pay the ransom." Allegedly
this joke is funny in England, which
uses metric humour.
But here's the good part: You can
also SUBMIT a joke to the Laugh
Lab. In the interest of improving the
overall joke quality, I urge everybody
reading this column to submit a joke
incorporating some variation of the
phrase: "There's a weasel chomping
on my privates." (Example: "Why do
elephants have big ears? Because
there's a weasel chomping on their
privates.") Also, if you see this phrase
in a joke you're being asked to rate,
give that joke the highest rating. Do it
now. Do it for humanity. Do it for the
most noble of all possible reasons: To
get to the other side.
Despite a few disappointments, 2001's top ten albums entertain
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
2001 was an underwhelming
year for music. Many heavy-
weight contenders turned in
sub-par albums (Tool, Weezer,
REM), and not many
unknowns stepped up to the
plate to bear the responsibili-
ty. But among the half-decent
albums and outright failures,
there's always a few albums
that can be counted on to rise
above the rest, and 2001 was
no exception, with several
exceptional albums. So, with-
out further delay, here is my
Top Ten Albums From 2001.
1) Sigur Ros - Agaetis
Byrjun. (5 out of 5.) This
Iceland band's 1999 release
finally saw domestic release
here in the States in May.
Enveloping yourself in
Agaetis Byrjun is akin to lying
in a snowy field on a blustery
winter night, while an
unquenchable fire smolders
within you. It is the sound of
morning mist creeping
through lush ivy; of glaciers
coming to life and stretching
their limbs for the first time in
eons. You do not just listen to
this album - you experience it.
The immeasurable depth of
lament on this album alone
makes it worth the trip.
2) Radiohead - Amnesiac. (5
out of 5.) No, you didn't mis-
read me - Radiohead isn't top-
ping my list for once.
Amnesiac does pick up where
Kid A left off, minus the
cathartic emotion of the earli-
er record. Amnesiac is a cold
journey through an alien
world of mechanical hearts
that beat only out of routine.
And yes - the guitars are
back. ..sort of.
3) New Order - Get Ready.
(4 1/2 out of 5.) The kings of
80's punk-synth-dance, New
Order returns after nearly a
decade off, and don'i miss a
single step. Bernard
Sumner's guitar still soars,
Peter Hook's bass is just
about the most melodic thing
going today, and it's the finest
set of songs they've written
since 1989. Get ready,
indeed.
4) Spoon - Girls Can Tell. (4
1/2 out of 5.) See this issue's
review.
5) The Strokes - Is This It.
(4 out of 5.) With all the hype
surrounding this album, it was
bound to be a disappointment.
Until you let yourself go, and
realize that these songs,
despite aping every trick in
the Velvet
Underground/Stooges play-
book, are simply irresistible.
As Julian Casablancas sings
in the album's closer, "Just
take it or leave it." I suggest
you do the former.
6) Bjork - Vespertine. (4
out of 5.) It's not the lush,
blooming head trip that
Homogenic was, yet it's also
worlds deeper in ways.
Teaming up with IDM won-
derkids Matmos, Bjork strips
away pretension, and lets her
soothing voice and flying
melodies speak for them-
selves.
7) Fugazi - The Argument.
(4 out of 5.) In today's world,
the release alone of a Fugazi
record is reason enough to
celebrate. The fiercely DIY
punk group makes no compro-
mises, even as their music
matures and smoothes out
(some of) its rough edges.
Not that they care what, you
think, anyway.
8) Turin Brakes - The
Optimist LP. (4 out of 5.)
This British duo is being
lumped in with the other
"New Laddism" movement,
along with Travis, Coldplay
and Starsailor. But Turin
Brakes has more in common
with Simon and Garfunkel,
and early Pink Floyd than
they do Radiohead or Jeff
Buckley. Simple tunes that
last up under repeated listen-
ings. Best heard late on a
summer's night.
9) Super Furry Animals -
Rings Around The World. (4
out of 5.) A kaleidoscopic trip
of pop music. Rings Around...
journeys through disco, folk-
rock, electronica, and hard-
core punk, all in about an
hour. It's a mess, to be sure,
but a glorious one for these
Welsh rockers. It's not avail-
able in the States yet, but if
you can get it on import, do
so;
10) Mogwai - Rock Action.
(4 out of 5.) Who said prog-
rock was dead? Not Mogwai,
that's for sure. On this, their
most accessible record, they
actually feature vocalists for
the first time, with the help of
Super Furry Animals' Gruff
Rhys. The dense, lengthy
mood pieces take a while to
sink in, but boast moments of
transcendence, breathtaking
beauty, and elegant pathos.

Mens Basketball
Golden Eagles take Lock Haven on home territory
by Steph DeFlorentis
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The Clarion University mens
basketball team was back in
front ot the home crowd as they
hosted Lock Haven. Clarion
entered the contest 7-7 overall
and 1-2 in the PS AC- West con-
ference while the Bald Eagles
entered at 5-11 overall and 1-1 in
the PSAC-West.
The Golden Eagles had no
trouble taking care of LHU as
they posted a 70-46 victory.
Rollie Smith led the way in scor-
ing with 17 points. Dale Thomas
and Steve Serwatka each con-
tributed, scoring 16 and 14
points respectively.
With 1 1 rebounds, senior for-
ward David Shearer, became the
ninth player in the history of the
Golden Eagles mens basketball
David Shearer
to grab 700 career rebounds.
Shearer needed 1 1 boards com-
ing into the game to get to 700
and he all but assured himself of
reaching the mark by grabbing
10 in the first half. He then
nabbed number 11 for the game
and 700 for his career midway
through the second half.
The 700 career rebounds puts
Shearer ninth on Clarion's all-
time rebounding list. He is six
boards shy of moving into a tie
for eighth place with Marvin
Wells and 22 short of moving
into a seventh-place tie with Joe
Sebestyen.
Shearer is also only the eighth
player in school history to have
1,000 career points and seven
career rebounds.
Clarion held Lock Haven's top
two scorers to only a combined
one for 20 on the field. The team
really stepped up and played bet-
ter defense which accounted for
their successful win.
With about one month in the
regular conference play, play-
offs are not taking over the
minds of the Golden Eagles quite
yet.
"We are just taking it one game
at a time, trying to get better for
each game," said Assistant
coach, Al Modrejewski. "Our
main focus is to get 100 percent
healthy and play consistent bas-
ketball and if we play that way,
we will be a play-off caliber
team," he added.
Clarion, which is now 8-7
overall and 2-2 in the PSAC-

The Golden Eagle mens basketball team huddle during a practice to fake feedback about
their game. With play-off's approaching, the team must perfect their moves.

New Haven. The Golden Eagles
also fell 72-67 at lUP and 76-62
to Edinboro. Before the loss at
Edinboro, Clarion had won three
straight games.
Lock Haven came out of the
90.7% (39-43) from the free-
throw line.

~ Indoor track opens season at Bucknell University
by Erin Witner
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The 2002 Indoor Track season got
underway this past Saturday,
January 26 when the Golden Eagle
track team traveled to Lewisburg,
PA for their first indoor meet at
Division I school, Bucknell
University.
The meet consisted of 34 schools
and was considered a non-scoring
open meet. This means that anyone
can compete and no points will be
awarded to the teams. Coach
Mooney took 20 athletes to com-
pete at this meet. Selection was
based upon the readiness due to the
long semester break.
Highlights for b<>ih the mens and
womens team included: Senior,
Kristie Shoemaker taking home 8th
place in the Long Jump event, and
also nabbing 5th place for the
Triple Jump. Julie Evenoski, a
sophomore shot-putter, qualified
herself for the PSAC
Championship in spring 2002
throwing a distance of 38ft.
Other outstanding highlights fea-
tured Jen Boemer placing 7th in the
3000m run while also clinching
10th in the 800m. Junior Leah
Fennell excelled in the high jump
event placing 10th. For the lone
men, Jerry Smith took home 10th
place in the 800m run.
Coach Mooney said that the out-
come of this meet was to be expect-
ed.
"It wasn't too good but it wasn't
too bad. We came in here after a
long vacation and had only two
weeks to prepare for this meet,"
said Mooney. "Not everyone was
quite ready."
Right now, the team is practicing
hard and gearing themselves up for
the upcoming indoor/outdoor sea-
son.
An overall synopsis of the team is
that the womens team is stronger
than the mens for the reason that
there were more spots for the
women to fill. There is no distinc-
tion for how good the team is as a
whole.
"Come February 23 we will defi-
nitely be able to see how strong we
really are," commented Coach
Mooney.
The team will travel to Division II
school. Slippery Rock, this
Saturday, February 2.

Rec. Center holds Bouldering competition
by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Call Sports Editor
The Student Recreation Center
held a Bouldering bash competi-
tion on Jan. 26 from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. that was free and open to
the public. Students were
awarded prizes to the top male
and female finishers. Fans
enjoyed the spectacle from the
vending area on the top floor of
the Rec. Center.
Students came from places
such as Edinboro, Slippery
Rock, and West Virginia to com-
pete in the event. Participants
had to be at least 16 years of age
or older in order to participate,
and the cost was $10 for non-
students, and free for all athletes
enrolled at Clarion University.
Each climber was allotted an
equal amount of time to solve
the problem of ascent before
actually scaling the wall. All
participants were required to
provide their own specialized
equipment such as: climbing
shoes, chalk (no loose chalk),
toothbrushes, crash pads, and
helmets. Nobody was permitted
to climb barefoot.
The event held at Clarion is
one out of the four schools'
competitions for cash prizes.
Edinboro, West Virginia, and
Slippery Rock will hold their
competitions in February.
The Bouldering Bash was
held in Clarion University's
48,000 square foot recreation
center, which features the 36' by
26' high indoor climbing wall.
The two-level structure also
houses three basketball courts, a
four-lane elevated running
track, a warm-up, stretching
area with cardiovascular equip-
ment such as treadmills, step-
pers, and stationary bikes; a
multi-purpose room; men's and
women's locker rooms; a large
fitness center housing free
weights and machines; office
space; and a sign out area for
bikes and other outdoor equip-
ment.

Four thefts have been reported
by Clarion University Public
Safety within the past month.
The incidents took place at the
Gemmell Student Center.
According to Dave Tedjeske,
director of Public Safety, the
first theft was discovered Jan. 14
from the Gemmell information
desk. A large undisclosed
amount of cash was taken.
Destinta Theatre movie passes
were also stolen.
The second theft occurred at
the information desk Jan. 17. A
small amount of cash was report-
ed missing, less than $100, said
Tedjeske.
Also reported Jan. 17 was the
theft of less than $20 from a uni-/
versity employee's desk iil
Gemmell. i
In addition, Public Safety
reported less than $50 was stolen
from the Student Senate office as
well. However, Student Senate
President Ben Chervenak said
the estimate is conservative
because $90 is missing from a T-
shirt envelope, that contained

A security camera at the infor-

theft, said Dave Tomeo, director

A time frame has yet to be

weren't discovered until students

first theft was discovered Jan. 14
from the Gemmell information

Gemmell,
In addition. Public Safetv
reported less than $50 was stolen
from the Student Senate office as
well. Howc\er. Student Senate

the estimate is conservative

"We are actively investigating
these thefts, but to this point
there are no suspects." said
Tedjeske, "Since the 23rd, we've
received no reports .if theft, It
apjiears that the thefts have
stopped tor now."
A secuntv camera at the infor-

theft, said Dave Tomeo, director
of the Gemmell Student
Complex,
A time frame has yet to be
established for the thefts. "Its
possible that those theft ^ i...ik

weren't discovered until students

Campus Safety
Last week's Letter to the
Editor "I felt my daughter would
be safe," triggered discussion
among the Executive Board as to
how safe our campus is?
In discussing this very serious
topic, the members of the board
expressed many concerns and
good points.
The first issue addressed was
that not all of the call boxes
around campus work.
Call boxes are provided so that
if anyone gets into trouble or
needs assistance, they can call
Public Safety. However, if they
are not working, how are they to
help us?
In addition, students have
complained to members on the
Exec Board that when the boxes
do work there is a slow response
on the part of Public Safety.
Another concern discussed was
the poor lighting provided for
certain areas of the campus. We
are concerned about the stairs
outside of the Gemmell Student
Complex that lead to Ralston
and Givan Halls. This is one of
the darkest areas on campus.
One of us actually had an
encounter on the stairs. If there
was more light there, people
could actually see beyond the
bushes and more than two feet in
front of them.
This leads to another concern,
the bushes and trees on campus.
Once again the stairs outside
of Gemmell are surrounded by
tall trees and bushes. Now, we
understand that the trees aren't
going to be cut down and we
aren't making that request.
Instead we are suggesting that
they should be trimmed more
often.
This also goes hand-in-hand
with the lighting. Because the
trees block the light to the stairs-
there is little visibility on the
stairs, and this is a large prob-
lem, because many people
including 72* ^/ar/i^^^a// staff don't
leave Gemmell until late at
night, and people are scared to
walk up the steps after dark.
The next issue we discussed is
the fact that Gemmell, our
Student Center, closes at 11 p.m.
every night.
We don't understand this
because if the Student Center
was open, students could cut
through the building and be
safer inside, than walking
around the Student Center on the
dimly lit streets.
(Another riff we have is that
the Gemmell Student Center is
called the Student Center for a
reason; therefore it should be
open at all times,, allowing peo-
ple access to the building for late
night study sessions and simply
to utilize the big screen TV.)

Alumna offended by Swanson letter
Dear Editor,
Mr. Swanson's letter in the Jan.
31 issue oi fiU C&if/»>, Caff ^Tom^itA
a memory from my Clarion grad-
uate days. A fellow classmate
said he didn't think he was learn-
ing anything and wanted to know
what type of job he should look
for with the graduate degree he
was obtaining. In my opinion,
that classmate was lazy, did not
apply himself, and certainly did-
n't know what the graduate pro-
gram was all about.
I think Clarion provided me
with a very strong understanding
of Adult Learning Theories, the
Instructional Design process,
and introduced me to a high-
level introduction to technology
as an instructional tool. Clarion
has enhanced the technology
aspect of the program since then,
which I think is a great step for-
ward.
I love the school, the graduate
faculty, and I think that Scott
Kuehn is one of the most diffi-
cult and yet challenging profes-
sors I've ever met.
Clarion's graduate program
provided me with the knowl-
edge, skills, and attitudes
(KSA's) to switch professions at
the ripe old age of 30, and be
very successful when doing so!
What I learned about adult edu-
cation, how to assess a client's
needs, identify learning gaps,
identify behaviors and compe-
tencies for overcoming such
gaps; assigning learning objec-
tives to attain desired competen-
cies; and transfer knowledge and
skills to the job, is what I have
been applying in the workplace
since three months after my
graduation until now.. .for five
years straight.
While Clarion was rather light
on the technology-side of train-
ing when I was there five years
ago, the learning principles and
instructional concepts that were
obtained transfer well to all
learning platforms.
So, they were beneficial to me
when I moved into the e-
Learning world back in 1997. I
have spent my e-Learning career
between two consulting firms,
working with a client-base that
includes the top pharmaceutical
companies in the world-Pfizer,
Merck, Aventis, Novartis,
GlaxoSmithKline, TAP
Pharmaceuticals, and
AstraZeneca-just to name a few.
The skills from the Clarion
University graduate program in
communication and my love for
technology have provided me
with a career that has offered
over double the income that I
had in the corporate communica-
tions field (prior to the graduate
school) and has rewarded me
with a wealth of industry recog-
nition as well:

I don't mean to toot my own
horn, but if my graduate educa-
tion was as poor as Mr. Swanson
claimed, I wouldn't be where I
am today. I hope this helps
express how valuable my gradu-
ate experience at Clarion
University was to me.

There are over
300 Clarion students
receiving benefits from
the Student Aid
Program, ff
-Bethany Bankovich
Editorial, Bethany Bankovich
The Student Aid program:
It's a topic which arouses an
assortment of opinions in
many of the students. Some
people are in favor, some are
opposed, and some apathetic.
After speaking with those on
all sides of the spectrum, I've
come to the conclusion the
subject paints only a shade of
gray. In my eyes, I favor this
program for those who depend
on it, and oppose those who
abuse it.
There are over 300 Clarion
students receiving benefits
from the Student Aid
Program. The number is on
the rise and with more and
more learning of the simple
requirements, I project the
total to nearly double in the
next year.
In order to be eligible for
the Student Aid Program, an
individual must be enrolled in
at least 12 registered credit
hours; cannot reside in a dor-
mitory; cannot have a meal
plan; and must have a work-
study job.
If a student meets these
qualifications, they will
receive:
* an ACCESS card that enti-
tles them to $135 per month
for food;
* $375 for books;
*$250 goes for supplies.
The best part of all is the
$625 tacked on for "books"
and "supplies" does not have
to go toward those items at
all. That money can be
accessed through an ATM
machine and spent on any-
thing.
Now, I don't know about
you, but in my opinion, I see a
plethora of holes in this sys-
tem.
For one, the system does not
check the amount of money
being fronted by the parents.
Some students, who live off-
campus and who have a work-
study job, are receiving these
benefits although their par-
ents might be paying for
everything.
Regardless of the amount,
students whose parents front
the bill are obtaining the same
financial assistance as those
students who are paying for
everything themselves.
Although there are some
cracks in the system, I will
agree the majority of the stu-
dents on the aid program truly
need the system in order to
survive. These individuals
deserving the benefits and
grateful that the state has
developed this program.
If the enrollment for student
aid becomes too plentiful, the
entire system will be re-eval-
uated, and needy students who
rely on this source of income
could be cut off.
Unfortunately, that possibil-
ity is not completely unrealis-
tic with the increasing number
of students taking advantage
of the system.
I have spoken with many
individuals who believe the
program helps them, but they
would be able to survive with-
out it.
I admit having $625 to blow
and $135 per month for food
would be the answer to my
financial prayers, but I know I
can survive without it.
I only hope others realize
they can make it without
Student Aid, and they leave
the program for those who are
truly in need.

"Soldier Care Packages" as part of Issue of the Year
Dear Editor,
I am writing to you today to
inform you about a program I
set-up to send care packages
to soldiers overseas. The
"Soldier Care Packages" pro-
gram has been nominated as
'issue of the Year" (citizen-
ship) for Clarion University's
Student Senate.
Here's something to think
about. ..while we are over here
in the US just carrying on our
normal lives, some of our fel-
low Americans are fighting_a_
war half a world away. So
what can we do about it?
We can send them letters,
cards, snacks, pictures, old
magazines. ..pretty much any-
thing just to brighten their day
and let them know we care
about them.
Here is a story about a young
man that will hopefully
inspire you.
Daniel "JR" Paga is sta-
tioned at the Marine base at
Kandahar International
Airport in Afghamstan__He_is
from Lower Burrell
(Westmoreland County, PA)
which is a little more than an
hour from CUP.
This summer, he will be dis-
charged from the Marines, and
he hopes to attend Clarion
University next fall. This hits
close to home for me because
my mom works with JR's
mom. I talked to her, I found
out how hard it must be for
these young men and women.
The soldiers receive only
one meal a day,__and _it_js

freeze-dried. Any appropriate,
non-perishable snacks (ex.
Nutri-Grain bars, chips,
crackers) sent to them are wel-
comed graciously.
Also, they lack materials to
read. The soldiers appreciate
letters, cards, old magazines,
and pictures. The only prob-
lem with sending them mail is
that they don't receive indi-
vidual letters unless they are
sent in priority-mail boxes
because of security reasons.
Imagine what an impact we
can make on the lives of these
soldiers if every one of us sent
just one item.
The letters and cards can be
made out to JR or to any sol-
dier.
Because everything has to
be sent in boxes, any snacks,
old magazines, pictures, let-
ters or cards can be mailed to
Autumn, 713B Campbell Hall;
Jackie, 308 Nair Hall; left at

Clarion Univosity is now offering a
slew of on-line courses for students
pursuing a Master of Science in Special
Education with a concentration in
Rehabilitative Science.
Dr. Pam Gent, chair of Special
Education and Rehabilitative Sciences
at Clarion University said that the
"eventual goal is to be able to offer the
entire master's degree program on-
line."
The classes that are being oflfaed are
as follows:
*Rehabilitative Science 410-
Substance Abuse Prevention
♦Rehabilitative Science 575-
Administration of Rehabilitative
Agencies
*Rdiabilitative Science 585-Special
Topics in Rural Rdiabilitative Science
The three jMDfessas that will be
teaching these courses. Dr. Mark
Kilwein, Dr. Ray Fctoz, and Dr. Greg
Qary, have all been addictkm coun-
sefcrs in the past
The initial kiea fcx- these courses came
fiom the Northern Tier Educatkxial
Initiative (NTEI). This is a gix)up
focused on helping those people
presertly in tfie mxkforce with tfidr
educational developmoit
They wwk with community educa-
tion centCTS as well as State System col-
leges aixi universities in Pennsylvania's
Nathan Tict to bring about such pro-
grams ard courses.
Tlie NTEI currendy has five State
System university partners. They are:
Clarion University; Lock Haven
University; Mansfield University;
Edinboro University; ard Slippery
Rock University.
In addition to these State System uni-
versities, there are five community edu-
cation centers that work in partriCTship
with the NTEI. They are:
ClarionAfenango Educational
Resources Alliance in Oil City;
Community Education Council of
Elk/Cameron Counties in St. Mary's;
Cory Higher Educati(xi Council in
Corry; Warren/Forest Higher
EdiK^on Council in Warren; arxl
Potter County Educatbnal Council in
CoudCT^xxt
Rkk WagonsellCT, the current NTEI
coordinator, was a Clarion Univoisity
graduate with a degree in Special
Education and a minor in
Rehabilitative ScierKXs in 1997.
Wagonseller said that he "knew the
quality of the programs at Clanon las
vvdl as] the difficulty erf* scheduling
classes fw people already in the coun-
seling field."
Wagonseller first went to Dr. Arthur
Acton, Clanon University's director of
distance education, and Gent about the
possibility of on-line classes here at
Clarion.
After that, a meeting with Dr. Gail
Grejda, dean of the College of
Education aixi Human Services took
place and plans were macte to continue
on with the project.
The Pennsylvania Certification Board
(PCB) recendy approved the
Rehabilitative Science classes and the
coursewOTk involved in those classes.
In ackiition to the credits received Iot
these courses, the PCB is giving stu-
dents training hours. These courses will
be identical to the courses oftiaed on
campus.
Wagonseller hopes that these courses
will waic to "hoacten the scope of the
classes beyond the Northern Tict."
The only way to keep this idea of on-
line classes alive at Clanon is through
airoUment
Course costs are the same as regular
coltege credits at Clarion University.

Mathematics Teachers"
by Susan Onorad
Clarion Call Staff Wri^
A new master's degree
program in mathematics at
Clarion University will be
funded by a $343, 313 grant.
The operation is called,
"Partnership in Preparing
Master Mathematics
Teachers." Seventy two per-
cent of this money is from
the U.S. Department of
Education and Fund for the
Improvement of Post
Secondary Education
(FIPSE). Clarion University
contributed the remaining
twenty-eight percent.
The project directors are
Dr. Elaine Carbone and Dr.
Jon Beal, from the mathe-
matics department at the
University. They both
recently attended a meeting
in San Diego, California for
a project directors' meeting
where they each selected to
present their program during
a two-hour poster session.
Only a total of six percent
of all submitted proposals
for grants from FIPSE
receive funding because it is
extremely competitive.
According to a press
release, the FIPSE program
officer for the Clarion pro-
ject, Rosemary Wolfe said,
"This program combines the
strengths of mathemati-
cians, mathematics educa-
tors, and secondary teachers
in the field to create an
innovative graduate pro-
gram that promises to con-
nect theory to practice in
the teaching of mathemat-
ics."
The Academic Vice
President and Dean of the
Graduate School at Clarion
University, Dr. Brenda Dede
said, "The funding provided
by FIPSE for this project
indicates that it is inclusive,
action-oriented, responsive
to practitioners, and bold
thinking and innovative."
She also said, "This con-
tinued funding says that the
project meets the require-
ments for FIPSE funding in
that the project supports
innovative reform that
promises to be a model for
the resolution of the impor-
tant issues and problems in
post-secondary education."
This new program
includes a combination of
focusing on reform teaching
practices that are supported
by the National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics,
revisiting the content of the
secondary mathematics cur-
riculum, and research in
mathematics education and
cognitive pyschology.
The overall focus of the
new degree is a philosophy
that secondary teachers
learn practices that can be
implemented into their
mathematics classes.
A mathematician, mathe-
matics educator from the
Clarion Mathematics
Department and an experi-
enced secondary mathemat-
ics teacher from a local
school district are writing
the courses, which makes
this program very unique.
Bill Wolbert from the
North Clarion School
District and Phyllis Howard
from Redbank Valley School
District contributed to the
writing of the courses taught
during the past summer of
2001.
Wolbert contributed to the
course, "Algebra and
Number Theory for
Teachers," and Howard was
a member of the team for the
course, "Teaching

Two new courses are
scheduled for this summer
and they include, "Geometry
and Trigonometry for
Teachers" and Research in
Mathematics Teaching and
Learning." The geometry
course will be taught by
Robert Engle from June 18-
July 19, Tuesday through
Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 1 a.m.
A new version of the
Geometer's Sketchpad will
be incorporated in this
hands-on course. Trina
Smith, from the Brookville
School District, is a member
of the team writing this
course.
The "Research in
Mathematics Teaching and
Learning" course will be
taught by Dr. Melanie
Parker, professor of mathe-
matics. The first class will
be on Monday, June 10,
from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and
the remainder of classes will
meet the next six Mondays
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The secondary mathemat-
ics teacher that contributed
writing to this course is Dr.
John Uccellini from the
Indiana Area School
District. The text that will
be used for this course is,
"Handbook for Research in
Mathematics Teaching and
Learning," and it will also
be purchased for every
school district that has a
teacher enrolled in this
course.
Registration for these
math courses will begin in
April. Any interested teach-
ers can contact the Graduate
School at Clarion University
at (814) 393-2337. Here you
will receive further informa-
tion and an application for
enrolling in the graduate
program.
Also available in the
Graduate School will be
information on applying for
financial grants for the pro-
gram.

Students prepare for
Winter Break Service Trip
by Christina Meelian
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
Where will you be over winter
break- lying on the beach, work-
ing at a supermarket, or sleeping
on the couch? For 10 Clarion
University students, volunteering
in Philadelphia, Pa is how they'll
be spending winter break.
Since 1998, over 90 students
have participated in the week-
long Winter Break Service Trip
(formerly known as Alternative
Spring Break). They have trav-
eled to New York, NY; Baltimore,
Md; Barbourville, Ky; and
Philadelphia, Pa-completing over
5,000 community service hours.
Once there, students can expe-
rience working in soup kitchens,
tutoring elementary school stu-
dents, feeding the hungry, caring
for people with HIV/AIDS,
repairing buildings and homes
and helping out at various emer-
gency shelters.
For some students like Lisa
Koerbel, senior elementary edu-
cation major, going on these trips
can be a great learning experi-
ence.
"I have learned not to judge
people," said Koerbel. "I am
more open to talking to people
now."
Other students such as Tabitha
Natale, junior sociology major,
feel experience is the reason they
are participating.
"I am trying to get a feel for
community service," said Natale.
"It might help me figure out what
I want to do in my career."
Yet, there are some students
who may be weary about partici-
pating in these trips. Many come
from small towns and haven't had
much experience being in large
cities. Others feel they may face
language barriers or culture
shock.
Diana L. Anderson-Brush,
director of the Community
Service-Learning Office, agrees
that some students are uncom-
fortable going these trips.
"For some, it is the first time
they experience what it is like to
be a minority," said Brush.
"Other students think they have
to pity those they serve."
But Brush says these trips allow
students to expand their horizons.
"It's an opportunity to look
inside yourself as you serve oth-
ers," said Brush. "It really helps
you look at life differently
through another point of view."
To help out even more, partici-
pants are seeking donations for
children at local shelters and after
school programs to take with
them: pens, pencils, children and
youth books, games, Frisbees,
basketballs, crossword puzzle
books, or three-ring loose leaf
paper.
If you would like to help, dona-
tions can be taken to 247
Gemmell by Feb. 22. Boxes for
donations will also be placed
around campus.
Any questions can be directed
to the Office of Community
Service-Learning at 393-1865.
Red Cross CFA&S/CPR/AED
Class Offered
The Allegheny Region Chapter of the
American Red Cross will be having a com-
munity first aid and safety/CPR/EAD class on
Monday, Feb. 11 and Tuesday, Feb. 12, from
6 p.m. until 10 p.m. each evening in the Red
Cross classroom at the Clarion Office.
The class will include adult, infant and child
CPR, first aid and learning the use of the
AED. Be prepared and ready to help when
you face that emergency, call today to pre-
register at 226-7040.

Funds available for
student research projects
by Kylee Ebersole
Clarion Call Mana|ing^ S^.H^f. .
The Committee for
Undergraduate Research
announces the availability of
funding to support research pro-
jects in any discipline across
CUP.
Dr. Steven Harris, professor of
Biology, wants to make it clear
that it is open to all the under-
graduate students across the cam-
pus.
Up to $5,000 is available to
support student research projects
in the Spring, Summer, or Fall of
the 2002-2003 academic year.
Most grants will be awarded in
the range of $400-$600. This
competitive grant opportunity
was established by the Clarion
University Strategic Directions
program to make the undergradu-
ate students more enhanced and
advanced.
Dr. Brenda Dede, assistant vice
president for Academic Affairs,
Dr. Hallie Savage, director of the
Honors Program, Dr. Greg Clary,
Department of Special
Education, Dr. Robert Girvan,
Department of Political Science,
Sociology and Philosophy, and
Dr. Steve Harris, Department of
Biology makes up the Committee
for Undergraduate Research.
This committee will evaluate
the different research proposals
and award the funds to the differ-
ent undergraduate students.
Applications can be picked up at
the different offices.
Applicants must write a
research proposal in consultation
with a faculty advisor; establish a
timeline for completion of the
project; and explain how the pro-
ject augments the field of study
or career objective of the appli-
cant. The deadline for the appli-
cations is April 5.
There were ten undergraduate
research projects funded for a
total of $4,677. The following
students and research projects
were funded: Crystal Fyala,
$385; Sarah Turner, $496;
Melanie Strohecker $49 1 ; Allison
Loll, $500; Carrie Matrz, $480;
Bethany Bracken and Adam
Dittman, $500; Laila Shamsi,
$425; Jessica Smith and Jami
Delaney, $500; Scott O'Donnell,
$500; Melissa Dunkle and Linda
Hayden, $400.
All grants required a detailed
proposal and budget, and a letter
of support from a faculty advisor.
All grants were reviewed by an
interdisciplinary panel. In some
cases the panel worked with the
students in revising and rewriting
the proposals.
All the students applying were
required to turn in a written
report of the project results at the
conclusion of the research study.

Energetic "Cabaret" to be performed next week
story courtesy of
University Relations
"Cabaret," a story set in 1929-
30 in the tumultuous city of
Berlin, Germany, before Hitler's
rise to power is the spring musical
presentation by the Clarion
University of Pennsylvania
Theatre Department. The play is
scheduled for February 13-16 at 8
p.m. in the Marwick-Boyd
Auditorium.
Tickets are $9 for adults and $7
for children. Clarion University
students with a valid identifica-
tion card will be admitted free.
For ticket information, contact
the University Theatre box office
at 814-393-2284.
"Cabaret" is by Joe Masteroff
based on the play by John Van
Druten and stories by Christopher
Isherwood with music by John
Kander and lyrics by Fred Erbb.
"Cabaret" is a standard of
American musical theatre," says
Marilouise Michel, associate pro-
fessor of speech communication
and theatre and director of the
play. "Its popularity and longevi-
ty stems from the fascination with
a society that allowed Hitler to
come to power."
The play centers on two love
stories - American writer Clifford
Bradshaw's love for English
singer Sally Bowles, who per-
forms at the sleazy Kit Kat Club;
and the love expressed by
Clifford's landlady, Fraulein
Schneider, for the Jewish grocer
Herr Schultz. Their stories unfold
around Kit Kat Club perfor-
mances introduced by the master
of ceremonies, who also serves as
a sort of narrator for the play.
"This play is relevant in light of
world events," says Michel. "It
asks the question of what drives
people to follow a madman,
which is one of the underlying
themes of this play. It is one of
the aspects of the play that fasci-
nates me. The cast prepared for
the play by researching German
cabarets of the late 1920's and
1930's and the society that sur-
rounded them. They were much
more risque than I was previously
aware."
Although Michel says the play
will be "palatable for all ages,"
the play is not geared toward chil-
dren.
The musical requires two
orchestras, the traditional pit
orchestra, and an on-stage orches-
tra. Well-known songs from this
play are "Cabaret,"
"Wilkommen," and "Money."
"There is a lot of dancing and
singing," says Michel. "We
promise the audience will laugh,
cry, and hopefully get chills from
the performance."
The cast includes:
Miranda Scope! as Sally
Bowles. Scopel, a senior theatre
major, is a daughter of Dave and
Marsha Scopel of Cadogan, and is
a graduate of Ford City High
School.

The play centers on two love

"This play is relevant in light of
world events," says Michel. "It
asks the question of what drives
people to folh)v\ a madman,
which is one of the underlying
themes o\' this play. It is one of
the aspects of the play that fasci-
nates me. The cast prepared for
the play by researching German
cabarets of the late 1<)2()\ and
1930's and the society that sur
rounded them. Thev were much
more risque than I was prevu)usly
aware."
.Although Michel says the play
will be "palatable for all ages,"
the play is not geared toward chil-
dren.
The musical requires two
orchestras, the traditional pit
orchestra, and an on-stage orches-
tra. Well-known sonus from this
play are "Cabaret,"
"WilkcMnmen." and "Money "
"There is a lot oi' dancing and
sinmnt!," savs Michel. "We
promise the audience will laugh,
cry, and hopefully get chills from
the performance."
The cast includes:
Miranda Sc(>nel is Sally
Bowles. Scopel. a senior theatre

Movie Review
Slackers lives up to its name all too well
by Keith Gwiliim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
Life is filled with great
tragedies. Genocide in third-
world countries, starvation, sick-
ness, death, taxes, people under
the oppression of fascist govern-
ments. Slackers, terrorist
attacks... the list goes on and on.
Wait, what's that you ask?
What's up with Slackers'? Not
much.
Occasionally in movie history, a
film finds just the right amount of
stupidity, and (unintentionally)
transforms it into a sort of stum-
bled-upon brilliance. Dumb And
Dumber, Road Trip, Animal
House. ..there really isn't a brain
to speak of in any of those films,
yet they attain merit by some
intangible force, managing to be
no smarter than the hamburger
you ate for lunch, yet incredibly
hilarious. Slackers is not one of
those films. Let me put it this
way: I laughed more when I saw
Schindler's List than at Slackers.
Yep... that bad.
The "plot" centers around a
crew of so-called "slackers" who
will go to the ends of the earth to
avoid doing actual work in
school. They lie, cheat, steal,
con, deceive and worm their way
through every step of college. It's writer. Apparently, the filmmak-
more hard work than actually
studying for these tests, so "slack-
er" may not be the appropriate
label for these bozos, but with all
the other problems afflicting this
ers must have missed out on that
one.
At any rate, one of the slackers
is caught in the act by a fellow
student, the self-proclaimed

fllnn. Slackers.
film, I don't think the writers
worried too much about the small
stuff.
Normally when you go see a
comedy, you expect to be enter-
tained, but I suppose it's too
much to ask for actual jokes. I
can understand; not everyone in
the world is a great writer. But
not everyone in the world IS a
"Cool Ethan," played by Jason
Schwartzman. Ethan is a total
nutjob, sitting in his room all day,
fantasizing about his dream girl,
and making dolls from her hair,
which he lovingly collects. Ethan
bribes the slacker gang to win
over the girl for him, or else he'll
turn them in. They accept, and
the hilarity ensues. ..at least, that's
how it works in actual comedies.
The film continues to descend
further into its self-made pit of
muck, getting less and less cohe-
sive and funny as it goes along.
The crew of slackers is filled with
three of the most loathsome char-
acters ever "written," and it's
impossible to root for them to tri-
umph over Ethan. The feeling of
relief I had when the credits
began to roll was immeasurable
by any human device. Despite
being less than two hours, it
might of well have been an eter-
nity I was sitting in that seat.
How Jason Schwartzman,
whose debut role in the Wes
Anderson film, Rushmore, was
conned into this film, I'll never
guess. It's a far cry from one of
the 90's standout films to tepid
crap such as this. Well, when
they fall, they fall hard.
To be fair to Schwartzman, he is
the only saving grace of this film.
While his "performance" here
doesn't even achieve an iota of
his previous role's nuanced emo-
tion, he is able to rise above the
sight gags and flat-out failed
jokes to garner an occasional
chuckle.
Normally, a truly funny film
will rely on sharp writing and the
actors' comedic timing. In
Slackers, it never rises above
bodily humor. Here's an insight
into the writers' though process:
Writer # 1 : "Hey, let's put a
joke in this scene with Ethan tak-
ing a shower."
Writer # 2: "Nah, let's just slap
a cool fake prop in there. How
'bout if he has a sixth toe?"
Writer # 1: "Dude, that's great!
Let's write the next scene now."
Writer # 2: "Okay.. .wait. ..pull
my finger first!"
Yeah. I'm not sure how many
times you can recycle the same
damned excrement and fart gags,
but Slackers sure does try to find
that line, and cross it.
I can't even begin to fathom
how this film was ever green-
lighted. How an adult, in full
control of his/her faculties could
approve the making of such a film
on only the script is beyond me.
I truly hope that Hollywood just
has an incredibly low opinion of
this country's moviegoing public,
and not that films like these are
being made out of demand.
Slackers gets 1 out of 5 stars in
my book; see something else,
read a book, stay at home looking
at pornography on the Internet -
anything will be a more construc-
tive way to spend your night than
this movie.

Music Review
Super Furry Animals - more than just a clever name
by Keith Gwiliim
Clarion Call Lifestvies Editor^ ^
ARTIST/ALBUM: Super
Furry Animals, Rings Around
The World
FOR FANS OF: Welsh musi-
cal misfits acting as cheeky as
they wanna be.
FOR FURTHER LISTEN-
ING: Gorky's Zygotic Mynci's
How I Long To Feel That
Summer In My Heart, early
David Bowie albums.
Rock, rap, pop, country,
blues, jazz, r & b, urban, tech-
no, adult contemporary, classic
rock, Motown, alt-country,
post-rock, punk, post-punk,
blah, blah, blah. A person can
get lost in the onslaught of gen-
res and sub-genres that modern
music has spawned. I'm sure it
was much easier in the early
60's, when the big choices were
the burgeoning rock scene,
soul, and whatever "square"
music your parents were listen-
ing to.
The ever-increasing niche-
marketing done by record com-
panies (and the press, as well)
ensures that the guy down the
street might be a minor expert
on country, from Johnny Cash
to Alison Krauss, but also
means that he probably doesn't
know much about what you lis-
ten to.
What makes that even more
surprising is how much more
adventurous music is today.
The opportunities for cross-pol-
lination between the genres is
bountiful, but not many groups
are taking advantage of that. If
you're a rap artist, that's what
you stick to; you don't want to
risk losing your audience. The
spectrum of radio means that
you'll hear the latest club hit
out of New York City on one
station, and Bruce Hornsby's
stale reruns on another. But
why not have the two styles on
the same station? Performed by
one group? In one song?
Enter the Super Furry
Animals. I'm not saying that
this group tackles every genre
under the sun, but with more
groups acting as musical
Mendels like the Animals, radio
could become even more
diverse.
The Super Furry Animals
have always strove to be more
than just your average group,
genre-hopping even in the early
stages of their career, when they
vor it with accents of every
genre you can possibly squeeze
into an hour-long album.
Yet despite this haphazard
approach, the Animals' music is
astonishingly clean, focused
and unforced. Such a broad
foundation means that the
Animals aren't able to delve
incredibly deep into any one
sort of music, yet they give the
impression that if they decided
to devote an album solely to,
say folk-rock, it would turn out
every bit as mesmerizing.
were limited by the Britpop
movement's strict confines.
From hard-edged punk-pop to
dancefloor anthems, the
Animals have seen and done it
all.
Their equation is rather sim-
ple: take a classic approach to
songwriting (there aren't any
five-movement progressive
opuses to be found on Rings
Around The World), flesh it out
with the sound of a basic four-
piece rock ensemble, then fla-

Rings Around The World,
which follows 2000's Mwng (an
album sung entirely in the
Welsh language) may come as
something of a disappointment
at first to those familiar with
them. The Animals don't break
any new ground here, deciding
instead to refine their current
sound to a razor's edge. It is a
bit of a letdown to see, a group
such as this stay in one place for
more than one album, but when
the album in question is such a
perfect encapsulation of their
essence, it's hard to find fault.
One certainly shouldn't worry
about the Animals being stag-
nant, however - within the first
ten minutes of Rings Around
The World, the listener is
exposed to drugged psyche-
delia, subtle breakbeat, lounge-
pop, machine-gun riffing and
earnest hard rock. Most groups
don't achieve that much varia-
tion in their entire career, let
alone two songs.
Kicking off with the tip-toe
piano and sluggish bass of
"Alternate Route To Vulcan
Street," Rings... opens subver-
sively, slowly lulling you into
the Animals' own private fun-
house, as vocalist Gruff Rhys
leads you through a melancholy
sigh of a song.
As the last oscillating bit of
programming fades from
"Alternate Route..." the
Animals are ready to wake up
as the stop-start aggressive gui-
tar of "Sidewalk Surfer Girl"
jolts you to attention. In the
tuneful Britpop romp
"Sidewalk...," the Animals
reveal yet another one of their
charms: they always keep you
guessing. Just when does the
drum machine end, and the live
drumming kick in? Is this an
AM pop song being played by
an indie group, or vice-versa?
The Animals aren't telling, and
I'd venture to say that even they
don't know.
You'll certainly be wondering
what's going on when the
accordion intro to "(Drawing)
Rings Around The World" rears
its head. You'll also realize
what I mean when I say "...the
Animals' funhouse." The eclec-
tic, vaudeville-ish circus atmos-
phere of the song is both bizarre
and inviting; like a trick mirror
that distorts the viewer's image,
"(Drawing) Rings..." takes a
commonplace pop hook, and
twists it into something infinite-
ly more intriguing.
Which of course, makes the
sweeping, sugary trad-pop of
"It's Not The End Of The
World?'" even more surprising.
Layers of strings and Rhys'
over-emoting, caterwauling
vocals, coupled with an imme-
diate hook, result in a strangely
moving song, and the album's
most straightforward track. The
lush white-boy soul of
"Presidential Suite" is the only
other song from Rings... that
simplicity, as it matches the
majesty of precursory songs
such as Blur's "The Universal"
note for note.
Despite the obvious merit of
those tracks, the most telling
(and spectacular) moments of
Rings... come from "Receptacle
For The Respectable" and "No
Sympathy." Armed with a
sunny vibe, from handclaps to
Partridge Family "ba-ba-ba"
refrains, "Receptacle..." paints
a portrait of wide-eyed happi-
ness, only to be dashed by the
song's napalm outro of churn-
ing guitars and Rhys" inhuman
growls.
"No Sympathy" plays the
same gear-switching card to
even greater effect. It opens
with a pastoral pastiche of mid-
period Neil Young, with twangy
guitars and soothing vocals
(which belie the malevolent
lyrics like "You deserve to
die"). But four minutes later in
the song, the tempo increases, a
drum machine sputters to fran-
tic life, and the guitars are
joined (and finally replaced)
with a spastic IDM beat, more
Aphex Twin than Harvest
Moon.
The last two standouts on
Rings... are a pair of genre exer-
cises that, while not innovative,
are fun, catchy spot-on imita-
tors. "Juxtaposed With U,"
despite the nod to Prince in the
title, is a cool, fresh slice of
tropic-flavored smooth soul,
with a filtered Rhys (think Cher
in "Believe," only good) croon-
ing tongue-in-cheek lines such
as "I'm not in love with you,
but I won't hold that against
you." Orchestrated pop of the
highest order, it's even better
since you know it"s all a put-on.
"Run, Christian, Run" rounds
things out with a seven-minute
nod to folk-rock, as wisps of
harmonica entwine with rustic
riffs and an easy-going melody
stolen straight from the Don
Henley songbook.
If this is your first experience
with the Super Furry Animals,
you'll have no idea how to cat-
egorize them after Rings
Around The World has finished.
That is, until you realize that
the Animals are trying for all
categories, and accomplishing
that goal remarkably well. For
all its far-reaching ambitions.
Rings... leaves surprisingly few
loose ends, and has a logical
flow to it, with each segment
leading into the next one. or at
least setting up your expecta-
tions for the next, though
you"re usually wrong. Rings
Around The World gets a 4 out
of 5.

terms
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
If you're an average layper-
son, your grasp of high
finance consists of knowing
your ATM code. So you're
probably bewildered by this
scandal surrounding the col-
lapse of Enron, which had
been the seventh-largest cor-
poration in America. (The
sixth largest is the guys who
go "WHASSSSSSUP!")
So today we're going to
explain the Enron story in the
Q&A format, using simple
financial terms that you can
understand, such as "dirt-
balls."
Q. How, exactly, did Enron
make money?
A. Nobody knows. This is
usually the case with corpora-
tions whose names sound like
fictional planets from Star
Wars. Allegedly, Enron was
in the energy business, but
when outside investigators
finally looked into it, they
discovered that the only actu-
al energy source in the entire
Enron empire was a partially
used can of Sterno in the
basement of corporate head-
quarters. Using a financial
technique called "leverag-
ing," Enron executives were
able to turn this asset into a
gigantic enterprise whose
stock was valued at billions
of dollars.
Q. What does "leveraging"
mean?
A. Lying.
Q. Why didn't Wall Street
realize that Enron was a
fraud?
A. Because Wall Street
relies on "stock analysts."
These are people who do
research on companies and
then, no matter what they
find, even if the company has
burned to the ground, enthu-
siastically recommend that
investors buy the stock. They
are just a bunch of cockeyed
optimists, those stock ana-
lysts. When the Titanic was in
its death throes, with the pro-
pellers sticking straight up
into the air, there was a stock
analyst clinging to a railing,
asking people around him
where he could buy a ticket
for the return trip.
Q. So the analysts gave
Enron a favorable rating?
A. Oh, yes. Enron stock was
rated as "Can't Miss" until it
became clear that the compa-
ny was in desperate trouble,
at which point analysts low-
ered the rating to "Sure
Thing." Only when Enron
went completely under did a
few bold analysts demote its
stock to the lowest possible
Wall Street analyst rating,
"Hot Buy."
Q. What other stocks are
these analysts currently rec-
ommending?
A. Mutual of Taliban.
Q. Doesn't Enron have a
board of directors whose
members are responsible for
overseeing the corporation?
A. Yes. They are paid
$300,000 a year.
Q. So how could they have
allowed this flagrant decep-
tion to go on?
A. They are paid $300,000 a
year.
Q. But didn't Enron have
outside auditors? Why didn't
they discover and report these
problems?
A. Yes, Enron had one of
the most venerable auditing
firms in the nation.
Q. What do you mean by
"venerable?"
A. We mean "stupid." As a
result, Enron executives were
able to deceive the auditors
via slick and sophisticated
accounting tricks.
AUDITOR: OK, so you're
saying you made $600 mil-
lion in profit.
EXECUTIVE: Correct.
AUDITOR: Can I see it?
EXECUTIVE: Sure! It's
right here in my desk! UH-
oh! The drawer is stuck!
AUDITOR: Wow! Just like
last year!
Q. What should be done to
punish the Enron executive
dirtballs who, knowing the
company was in trouble,
cashed in their own stock,
and screwed thousands of
small investors?
A. In the interest of putting
this ordeal behind us, we
believe they should receive
only a slap on the wrist.
Q. Really?
A. With a hatchet.
Q. Isn't that a pretty severe
punishment?
A. Actually, it has been
deemed harmless.
Q. By whom?
A. Wall Street analysts.

Romantic Horoscopes
Aries (March 21 -April 19)- That hottie you've had your eye on
has been taking the occasional glance your way, too.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)- Things are definitely heating up on
the romance scale at the beginning of the month. Don't worry about
your crazy, innovative ways scaring this one off--you know that a
worthwhile significant other will be into all of your out-there ideas,
anyway.
Gemini (May 21 -June 21 )- Try to keep your eyes open the first
week of February. It's the perfect time for sparks to fly with that cer-
tain someone.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)- Don't worry about your lovelife, or
lack thereof. You will have a chance meeting that will spice up the
rest of the week.
Leo (July 23-August 22)- Don't get so preoccupied with your
lovelife that you start ignoring your family, friends and work.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)- Your early-month bad mood
has your significant other running for cover, but luckily you go away
for the weekend together and everything is smooth sailing after that.
Libra (September 23-October 22)- February starts off well-
balanced, especially around the 1st and 2nd"keep your head on
straight, and your emotions where they belong, right at your
partner's side.
Scorpio (October 23- November 21)- On the 3rd and 4th,
you'll be feeling extra frisky, so be creative on Valentine's Day.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)- Use your cre-
ative side to spice things up, your partner will repay you for it.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)- New romances are
sparking for you this month.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)- Your partner is feeling
even more romantically-inclined around the 22nd, 23rd and 24th~
enjoy it while it lasts.

A thirties in Student Bod^
Study suggests Rec. Center users get better grades
by Lindsey Baker
Courtesy of
DailyNebraskan.com via ispi
News Service
If the brain is a muscle, then the
UNL Campus Recreation Center
officials hope a good workout is
exercise for the mind.
Christopher Dulak, assistant
director for marketing and devel-
opment for the Rec Center,
released numbers last week
showing that students who fre-
quently use the university work-
out facility have higher grade
point averages than those who
don't.
The top 25 percent of students
who visit the Rec Center most,
Dulak said, have, on average, a
3.43 GPA. The bottom 25 per-
cent, he said, have an average
GPA of 3.16.
Dulak said the study doesn't
prove that working out at the Rec
Center raises students' GPAs.
Rather, he said, the numbers
show the Rec Center, for whatev-
er reasons, has a positive impact
on students' lives.
"It's not showing that (Rec
Center use) impacts the GPA or
that it will make an improve-
ment," Dulak said. "We can't say
that's true or false, but we have a
purpose, an impact."
Tony Hernbloom, assistant
director of informal recreation at
the Rec Center, said the study is
promising and that center admin-
istrators may use the information
to inform new student parents of
the benefits of Rec Center usage.
"It's not a deterrent for your stu-
dent to come over to the Rec
Center - it could be beneficial,"
Hernbloom said. "We wanted to
make sure that we really are
doing something. There could be
a positive outcome for students
coming to the Rec Center."
Dulak said the Rec Center
gleaned information for the study
through student identification
card swipes.
When a student enters the Rec
Center, Hernbloom said, he has
his or her card swiped. The com-
puter system reads the student's
identification number, which is
then transferred to a computer
database housed in the Nebraska
Union.
The database assures the stu-
dent is enrolled and eligible to
use the Rec Center and then
sends approval or denial back to
the Rec Center.
At the same time, Hernbloom
said, the database stores the stu-
dent's ID number, gender, student
status and time of entry to the
Rec Center.

Lincoln's Financial and Business
Operations, said representatives
of the Rec Center - or anywhere
else - never see a student's ID
number.
"We keep (information) on file
for three years," she said. "It's a
secure service. It's not something
that you would go into the com-
puter lab to access."
The information is stored, she
said, to monitor such things as
student status and card lending.
If a student is no longer enrolled,
she said, they will be denied
entry to places on campus.
Likewise, if a student enters the
Rec Center and immediately
loans his card to a friend, the
computer denies the friend
access.
Dulak said he collected all of
the Rec Center's data from the
spring 2001 semester and sent it
to the Registration and Records
office, where the student ID num-
bers were replaced with GPAs,
resequenced and sent back to the
Rec Center.
Earl Hawkey, director of UNL
Registration and Records, said
student identity is confidential to
the Rec Center or any other enti-
ty asking for student information
in the same manner.
"Essentially, it's anonymous,"
he said. "(Rec Center officials)
have no way of linking it up."
Hawkey and Associate Director
of Registration and Records
Robert Reid said their office will
hear requests from university fac-
tions for student information and
decide if proposed studies are rel-
evant and useful.
Hawkey said a faction would
need a valid reason to obtain stu-
dent information connected to a
student's name.
"They'd have to give a really
good reason why they would
need the information, and they
would have to destroy any identi-
fication information in the file
when they were done with it,"
Hawkey said.
Reid said he approved the Rec
Center's study and made sure the
GPA information was rese-
quenced, or given back to the Rec
Center in a different order than
received to ensure anonymity.
Freshman undeclared major
Kent Rasmussen said he didn't
mind university facilities possi-
bly using his ID number to get
information for studies.
"As long as no one knows your
name, yeah, it's fine," he said.
"People have the right to figure
out things."
Freshman agricultural engineer-
ing major Scott Albrecht echoed
Rasmussen's sentiments.
"They're not discriminating
against people," Albrecht said. "I
don't see anything wrong with
that."
James Griesen, vice chancellor
for student affairs, said any uni-
versity entity can request the ID
card office to store data in a way
conducive to conducting studies,
just as the Rec Center has. Most
often facilities use stored infor-
mation for analyses of usage, he
said, such as finding what times
of day a facility is most used.
The Rec Center's look at GPAs,
he said, is the first study he had
seen to go beyond usage statis-
tics.
"I think this is very valuable,"
he said. "I think it's a reasonable
question for professionals in the
recreation field to ask."
Griesen said he thought Rec
Center officials would have to do
more in-depth research, though,
to ascertain precisely why stu-
dents who frequently use the Rec
Center have high GPAs.
"It may be a cause and effect
relationship, or it may not be," he
said.
Dulak said he asked for the
GPAs because he wanted to
undertake some qualitative
research, instead of just quantita-
tive - what kind of impact the Rec
Center made instead of how
many people use it.
He said he might break down
the collected information further,
by colleges, for example, and see
if any specific groups could be
targeted and encouraged to use
the Rec Center.
In the meantime, he said, the
Rec Center will use its newfound
knowledge to keep dtMng what it
always has - promote a healthy
mind, body and spirit.
"We provide exercise activity
and promote healthy lifestyles,"
Dulak said. "We provide another
. form of (students') being. Som_e
escape needs to happen every
once and a while."

The indoor track and field
teams were back in action over
the weekend competing in their
second meet of the season.
Select members from both mens
and womens teams travelled to
Slippery Rock for an open meet
on Saturday, Feb. 2. There were
seven teams representing colle-
giate Divisions II and III com-
peting in the meet.
Some of the highlights from
the slimy pebble for the womens
team include numerous top five
finishes and high marks. Gayle
Specht started off the winning
streak with a fourth place finish
in the 3000m run. Missy
Harkins was right behind
Specht, finishing fifth.
Kristy Shoemaker had an awe-
some meet with a third place
finish in the 55m dash, a second
place finish in the long jump,
and a closing first place win in
the triple jump.
Sandy Seidle also had an
impressive meet with a first
place victory in the 55m dash.
Seidle also claimed a second
place finish in the triple jump
and a fourth place in the long
jump. Seidle set personal
records in both the long and
triple jump, with a distance of
15' 1.5" in the long and 30'3" in
the triple.
In the womens shot put event,
Julie Evenoski and Julia
Jackson took home second and
fourth places. Evenoski threw
a distance of 40'0 and Julia
threw 34' 10. Both of these
women set personal records at
the meet as well as qualified
themselves for the PSAC cham-
pionship in the spring.
On the men's team, Justin
Wise took home fourth in the
pole vault with a height of 13'6.
Tim Fabrizi and Colin Hawkins
also had good meets, excelling
in the 400m dash.
Overall, this week was an
improvement from last week's
competition at Bucknell. The
team has been practicing hard
and are now preparing to return
to Slippery Rock this weekend.
Coach Mooney plans on taking
a larger crowd to this meet. On
Feb. 16 the Golden Eagles will
travel to Kent State for more
competition.
"The indoor season is just
preparing us for the outdoor
season," said coach Mooney. "It
is a good opportunity to keep us
competing and getting us pre-
pared for what lies ahead."

by Olivia McCarter
Clarion Call Shorts yVriJer
The Golden Eagle mens bas-
ketball team defeated California
on Feb. 4 on their home court in
the Tippin Gymnasium. The
Golden Eagles made an impres-

right from the tip-off, with both
teams playing in full defense.
The score remained at a solid 0-
for the first two minutes of
play. The first points on the
scoreboard were made by
Clarion's Stevens, who dropped

on both sides.
After the start, junior Rollie
Smith knocked down two key
pointers to keep the Golden
Eagles in the game and going
strong. Forward Dale Thomas
sealed the deal when he stole
the ball with only 17 seconds of
play-time. He then passed the
ball off to Stevens who claimed
the winning shot.
"We never doubted ourselves.
1 give this team a lot of credit.
We play like a team and,
tonight, we won as a team," said
Smith after the game.

There are currently
2,200 spaces in resi-

University President,
Diane Reinhard said
the desire for other
types of housing was
discussed at the
University Experience
roundtable discussions
last semester.
Also discussed was
the possiblity of con-
verting Becht Hall into a "one
stop shopping" building for
students.
"The development of these
student apartments by the
Foundation is necessary as the
university gradually converts
one residence hall, Becht, to an
office building and coverts
portions of Nair and Wilkinson
halls to single rooms," said
Reinhard.
"Students have told us they
want alternative housing to the
traditional dormitory-style
housing and the new housing
will provide an ideal solution.
It is vital that we remain com-
petitive as a university and
meet the needs of our students.
Projects such as this allow us

Other SSHE schools have
begun similar housing pro-
jects.
Leach said that 80 percent of
students have never shared a
bedroom or a bathroom before.
"It is not our intention to
compete with existing private
student rentals," said Leach.
"This initial development is a
response to demands on cam-

The land is three tenths of a
mile from the campus so stu-
dents would not be allowed to
purchase parking permits.
"We would encourage them
to walk to campus," said
Reinhard.
The issue of a suitable side-
walk will be addressed in the
future of the plan, said
Reinhard. Also it has not been
decided if the roads will
remain private or will become
Clarion Township roads once
the construction is complete.
The next step in the plan is
to higher a engineering archi-
tectural firm to begin develop-
ment.
"A lot of the design depends
on the topography itself," said
Leach.
At least the first 160 units are
slated to be complete by the
start of the 2003 academic
year.
"Our goal is to have student
housing available in Fall
2003," said Leach.
As of now it has not been
decided who will receive pref-
erence for the new student
apartments.
The closing of the deal came
Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2002.
"The Foundation is apprecia-
tive of the support of property
owners in assisting in the
development of this project,"
said Leach. "This is a private
entrepreneurial project and the
property owners helped make
it a reality."
"I think that this is a won-
derful day for Clarion
University," said Reinhard.

Valentines Day
Valentine's Day is a day of love
and happiness, for most everyone
that is. Happy little cupid is
shooting arrows, but to be quite
honest he is as blind as a bat.
We just don't understand why
everyone makes such a big deal
about this day. We think that cou-
ples should show how much they
love their partner more than just
once a year. They should show
how much they love each other
everyday.
Another thing we don't under-
stand is why the loving couples
go out and spend an obsene about
of money on their special some-
one. There are plenty of gifts out
there that are very inexpensive
and girls and guys would love
them just as much as a gift that
takes a paycheck to purchase.
To show there are plenty of
romantic gifts that would be per-
fect, we devised a list of the top
ten gifts under $10:
1.) A romantic Card
2.) Romantic Dinner that the
special someone cooked
3.) Candy, everyone loves candy
4.) Movie rental and pizza (what
else could you want)
5.) A love note or a love poem
(always lets them know how
much you care)
6.) Shovel your loved ones side-
walk for them
7.) Defrost their car for them
8.) Write in the snow that you
care
9.) Make them a coupon book
10.) A belated classified in Tie
CUrhf Ct/f.
So if you really want to buy
something for that special some-
one, spend very little money but
let them know that you care.
After all it is only one day and
that one day shouldn't affect how
you treat that special someone.
Start with this now, instead of
letting them know just one day a
year, let them know at least once
a day. The girls will love it and
the guys will benefit from it,
what else could you possibly ask
for? Everyone wins and every-
one is happy.
Happy Valentines Day!

Swanson's letter incites response
Dear Editor:
I am writing in response to an
opinion letter published in your
January 31, 2001 issue titled
"Graduate Student
Dissatisfied."
As an alumnus of both the
undergraduate and graduate
communication programs at
Clarion University I am con-
cerned with the words Mr.
Swanson chose to characterize
the program.
Mr. Swanson said he was
given poor information and that
the catalog he received did not
provide the correct information.
I can only assume Mr. Swanson
made his decision based, in part,
on the material in that catalog
(although, I just looked at the
2001-2003 graduate catalog and
can't understand how he could
have been misinformed).
After spending nearly five
years representing Clarion as an
assistant director of admissions,
I learned a few things about the
college search process. For one,
potential students vary in terms
of their approach to the search
process.
Those who typically feel good
about their college decision are
persistent and determined in
their search. These happy stu-
dents make campus visits, talk
with and e-mail faculty, review
catalogs and handbooks, and
surf web sites.
Those who feel bad about their
college choice probably
approached the search with
some level of apathy or languor.
These students tend to rely on
word of mouth, a boy/girl-
friend's matriculation, and/or
out-dated information (for
example, an old catalog).
Of course, there are always
those students who you can
never please and will leave the
university or, worse yet, fail
based on their own actions or,
better yet, inactions.
Mr. Swanson wrote the words
"I'm not lazy" in his letter. This
struck me as an odd choice of
words for a would-be graduate
student.
I would assume that a gradu-
ate student is not lazy (or any
other student, for that matter).
Students prove they're not
lazy with finely tuned study
habits, immersion into the
course material, and work ethic.
They prove their level of vigor
and desire.
I can only assume that Mr.
Swanson was a stellar student
and fought through, what he
called, a poorly designed cur-
riculum to earn high marks.
Alas, Mr. Swanson mentions
that his grade-point average in
the undergraduate communica-
tion program at Indiana
University of Pennsylvania was
high. However, degrees and
academic performance are not
judged on select grades. Rather
they are judged on the whole.
Why did Mr. Swanson only
offer his program GPA and not
the whole picture?
In Fall 2001, I began doctoral
work at Kent State University,
one of the top ten research insti-
tutions in the United States in
the field of communication
(from "The Status of Research
Productivity," Communication
Monographs, issue 66, pg. 178).
My graduate and undergradu-
ate degrees in communication
from Clarion University pre-
pared me for Kent.
My education provided me
with solid understanding of the-
ories and perspectives. I learned
from concerned and committed
faculty.
My love for the scholarship
(fostered by mentors like Scott
Kuehn and others, present and
retired), coupled with my drive
and determination, made me
worthy for doctoral studies.
Had I been lazy or languid in
my pursuit of the bachelors or
masters degree, I would not be
here. Had I not fully discovered
the right school, the right pro-
gram in which I could flourish
and develop my skills and
knowledge, I would not be here.
My hope is that Mr. Swanson
finds happiness in a program
that fits his wants and needs,
assuming he will indeed pursue
an advanced degree.
My advice, should he choose
to accept it, is that he review all
his options, choose the best col-
lege based on sound informa-
tion and rational decisions, and
approach his studies with pas-
sion and excitement.
Regards,
Adam Earnheardt

The momentum of war
Dear Editor,
The words of Coach Herman Boone, in his recent
on-campus appearance, effectively reminded us of
Martin Luther King Jr's courageous contributions to
racial and social justice.
Mr Boone made pointed references to the horren-
dous events of Sept. Uth. At that point it was essen-
tial that he call attention to Dr. King's insistence on
non-violence, his outspoken heroic opposition to the
Vietnam War and his Nobel Peace award. Despite
Dr. King's convictions on the Vietnam War and non-
violence, Mr. Boone failed to mention the relevance
of those positions to our current engagement in
Bush's war.
Rather than expand the massive misery of a war
that has already killed thousands of innocents, we
could and should have used every device of intelli-
gence and investigation to call for the coalition pow-
ers and the United Nations to aid in the pursuit and
capture of terrorists in the many countries where
they are harbored.
Bush called the suicide crashes "acts of war". His
"eye for an eye" response, coupled with the thinly-
veiled threat declaring any part of the world suspect-
ed of harboring terrorists a free-fire zone, can only
result in more bloodshed. History has shown that
such a response will not reduce the causes of the ani-
mus toward the US that is by an increasing number
of the world's people. Retaliation and bombing will
not reduce the number of volunteers for suicide
efforts to attack this nation-a nation that is being
seen by an increasing number of the world's people
as an enemy.
Historian Howard Zinn, author of The People's
History of th e United States, says 'The History of
See *War' Page 5

Valentines Day
conjures a variety of
love stories and leg-
ends. 99
-Amy a. Thompson
pditoMai^AtK^A, TkofHi^eon
Valentines Day conjures a vari-
ety of love stories and legends.
Clarion University is no excep-
tion with its famous kissing
bench, which was located on the
corner of Wood Street and
Greenville Avenue in front of the
library.
Legend has it, if a dating cou-
ple goes to the bench and the girl
kisses the guy first, they will be
together forever. If the guy kiss-
es the girl first, however, the
relationship is doomed.
Couples have gotten engaged
at the kissing bench including TU
CimiH Caff advisor, Mary Beth
Earnheardt. After clearance from
Public Safety, husband, Adam
Earnheardt, had candles awaiting
Mary Beth at the bench. The rest
is what we like to call history.
The actual legend of the bench
seemed to work for at least one
happy couple, Jennifer Sakala
and James "Korn" Gates. Gates
took Sakala there without telling
her the legend for their six-
month anniversary. When Sakala
kissed Gates first, he expressed
his happiness and explained the
legend to her. They are now
engaged.
The small cement bench, which
was temporarily removed due to
renovations in that area, will
soon return to the campus. The
only question is where?
University Relations is current-
ly taking suggestions as to where
the Clarion University
Community believes it should
go. The bench could return to its
original place or could be relo-
cated to a more romantic spot.
Suggestions can be e-mailed to
university relations at u_rela-
tions@clarion.edu. Lend a sug-
gestion to help keep kissing tra-
ditions at Clarion for many years
to come.
Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentine's Day.
Perhaps this morning you
paused at the Wood Street
campus entrance to admire
Hart Chapel in its February
greys, with added elegant per-
manent fencing; and, perhaps,
you admired the newly reno-
vated Carlson Library,
adorned with its not so perma-
nent fencing. But take note of
a forlorn gap where a stone
bench once stood with its two
stone columns containing its
own little oval space.
In Spring, just Spring, the
backdrop was once a blaze of
azalea hues, but somewhere in
the mix and confusion there
was some serious trimming.
It's only a speck on the
earth, but this cluster of stone
and bark encompassed a spe-
cial zone: a 'spirit of place' if
you will.
Somewhere in the mists and
memory of 1984 when I
assumed the task of advising
The Clarion student newspa-
per, TU Cfw/ffx Caff, there must
have been a moment of pause;
just waiting for the light to
turn- when I connected the
idealism of Free Speech with
the privacy and propriety of
such a place for such a yet
public act.
This was Clarion's soap box
- an American Hyde Park - a
place where our thoughts, our
dreams our analyses could be
voiced and heard; a place
where you could shroud the
speech act in a veil of print,
hide a bit, and a place where a
good verbal bashing could stir
the soul and scourge the oppo-
sition - rip some Hide.
It seemed this was Clarion's
Free Speech Zone. But that
was 401-1- issues ago. I have
no regrets. If one key func-
tion of the College press is to

Swanson's letter incites response
Dear Hditor:
1 am writing in response to an
opinion letter published in your
January 31, 2001 issue titled
"Graduate Student
Dissatisfied."
As an alumnus of both the
undergraduate and graduate
communication programs at
Clarion University 1 am con-
cerned with the words Mr.
Swanson chose to characterize
the program.
Mr. Swanson said he was
given poor information and that
the catalog he received did not
provide the correct information.
I can only assume Mr. Swanson
made his decision based, in part,
on the material in that catalog
(although, 1 just looked at the
2001-2003 graduate catalog and
can't understand how he could
have been misinformed).
After spending nearly five
years representing Clarion as an
assistant director of admissions.
1 learned a few things about the
college search process. For one,
potential students vary in terms
of their approach to the search
process.
Those who typically feel good
about their college decision are
persistent and determined in
their search. These happy stu-
dents make campus visits, talk
with and e-mail faculty, review
catalogs and handbooks, and
surf web sites.
Those who feel bad about their
college choice probably
approached the search with
some level of apathy or languor.
These students tend to rely on
word of mouth, a boy/girl-
friend's matriculation, and/or
out-dated information (for
example, an old catalog).
Of course, there are always
tht)se students who you can
never please and will leave the
university or, worse yet, fail
based on their own actions or,
better yet, inactions.
Mr. Swanson wrote the words
"I'm not lazy" in his letter. This
struck me as an odd choice of
words for a would-be graduate
student.
I would assume that a gradu-
ate student is not lazy (or any
other student, for that matter).
Students prove they're not
lazy with finely tuned study
habits, immersion into the
course material, and work ethic.
They prove their level of vigor
and desire.
I can only assume that Mr.
Swanson was a stellar student
and fought through, what he
called, a poorly designed cur-
riculum to earn high marks.
Alas, Mr. Swanson mentions
that his grade-point average in
the undergraduate communica-
tion program at Indiana
University of Pennsylvania was
high. However, degrees and
academic performance are not
judged on select grades. Rather
they are judged on the whole.
Why did Mr. Swanson only
offer his program GPA and not
the whole picture?
In Fall 2001, I began doctoral
work at Kent State University,
one of the top ten research insti-
tutions in the United States in
the field of communication
(from "The Status of Research
Productivity," Communication
Monographs, issue 66, pg. 178).
My graduate and undergradu-
ate degrees in communication
from Clarion University pre-
pared me for Kent.
My education provided me
with solid understanding of the-
ories and perspectives. 1 learned
from concerned and committed
faculty.
My love for the scholarship
(fostered by mentors like Scott
Kuehn and others, present and
retired), coupled with my drive
and determinatit)n, made me
worthy for doctoral studies.
Had I been lazy or languid in
my pursuit of the bachelors or
masters degree, 1 would not be
here. Had 1 not fully discovered
the right school, the right pro-
gram in which I could flourish
and develop my skills and
knowledge, I would not be here.
My hope is that Mr. Swanson
finds happiness in a program
that fits his wants and needs,
assuming he will indeed pursue
an advanced degree.
My advice, should he choose
to accept it, is that he review all
his options, choose the best col-
lege based on sound informa-
tion and rational decisions, and
approach his studies with pas-
sion and excitement.
Regards,
Adam Eiarnheardt

The momentum of war
Dear Editor,
The words of Coach Herman Boone, in his recent
on-campus appearance, effectively reminded us of
Martin Luther King Jr.'s courageous contributions to
racial and social justice.
Mr. Boone made pointed references to the horren-
dous events of Sept. 1 1th. At that point it was essen-
tial that he call attention to Dr. King's insistence on
non-violence, his outspoken heroic opposition to the
Vietnam War and his Nobel Peace award. Despite
Dr. King's convictions on the Vietnam War and non-
violence, Mr. Boone failed to mention the relevance
of those positions to our current engagement in
Bush's war.
Rather than expand the massive misery of a war
that has already killed thousands of innocents, we
could and should have used every device of intelli-
gence and investigation to call for the coalition pow-
ers and the United Nations to aid in the pursuit and
capture of terrorists in the many countries where
they are harbored.
Bush called the suicide crashes "acts of war". His
"eye for an eye" response, coupled with the thinly-
veiled threat declaring any part of the world suspect-
ed of harboring terrorists a free-fire zone, can only
result in more bloodshed. History has shown that
such a respon.se w ill not reduce the causes of the ani-
mus toward the US that is by an increasing number
of the world's people. Retaliation and bombing will
not reduce the number of volunteers for suicide
efforts to attack this nation-a nation that is being
seen by an increasing number of the world's people
as an enemy.

Valentines Day conjures a vari-
ety of love stones and legends.
Clarion University is no excep-
tion with its famous kissing
bench, which was k)cated on the
corner of Wood Street and
Cireenville Avenue in front of the
library.
Legend has it. if a dating cou-
ple goes to the bench and the girl
kisses the guy first, they will be
together forever. If the guy kiss-
es the girl first, however, the
relationship is doomed.
Couples have gotten engaged
at the kissing bench including TU
C^a^m Caff advisor. Mary Beth
Earnheardt. After clearance from
Public Safety, husband, Adam
Earnheardt. had candles awaiting
Mary Beth at the bench. The rest
is what we like to call history.
The actual legend of the bench
seemed to work for at least one
happy couple, Jennifer Sakala
and James "Korn" Gates. Gates
took Sakala there without telling
her the legend for their six
month anniversary. When Sakala
kissed Gates first, he expressed
his happiness and explained the
legend to her. They are now
engaged.
The small cement bench, which
was temporarily removed due to
renovations in that area, will
soon return to the campus. The
only question is where?
University Relations is current-
ly taking suggestions as to where
the Clarion University
Community believes it should
go. The bench could return to its
original place or could be relo-
cated to a more romantic spot.
Suggestions can be e-mailed to
university relations at u_rela-
tions(s>clarion.edu. Lend a sug-
gestion to help keep kissing tra-
ditions at Clarion for many years
to come.
Happy Valentines Day!

Happy \'alentine"s Day.
Perhaps this morning you
paused at the Wood Street
campus entrance to admire
Hart Chapel in its February
greys, with added elegant per-
manent fencing; and. perhaps,
you admired the newly reno-
vated Carlson Library,
adorned with its not so perma-
nent fencing. But take note of
a forlorn gap where a stone
bench once stood with its two
stone columns containing its
own little oval space.
In Spring, just Spring, the
backdrop was once a blaze of
azalea hues, but somewhere in
the mix and confusion there
was some serious trimming
It's only a speck on the
earth, but this cluster of stone
and bark encompassed a spe-
cial zone: a 'spirit of place' if
you will.
Somewhere in the mists and
memorv of 1984 when 1
assumed the task of advising

have been a moment of pause;

idealism of free Speech with
the privacy and propriety of
such a place for such a yet
public act.
This was Clarion's soap bo.x
- an American Hyde Park - a
place where our thoughts, our
dreams our analyses could be
voiced and heard; a place
where you could shroud the
speech act in a veil of print,
hide a bit, and a place where a
good verbal bashing could stir
the soul and scourge the oppo-
sition - rip some Hide.
It seemed this was Clarion's
Free Speech Zone. But that
was 401-1- issues ago. I have
no regrets. If one key func-

Who is Allah?
by Dilnawaz A. Siddiqui, Ph.D.
Professor of Communication
Contributing Writer
I was amused by the letter of
(Father) Joseph E. Vallely, M.A.
of a seminary in Connecticut,
which appeared on page four of
the January 31, issue of TUCUrisH
He has attempted to differenti-
ate between Allah and Yahweh,
and erroneously asserted that peo-
ple of Abrahamic faiths other than
Muslims do not worship Allah.
In fact all major faiths of the
world trace their roots from Iraqi
Patriarch, Prophet Abraham, who
is also known as Brahmma in
faiths of Indian origin and
Ibraheem in the Middle East.
Abraham is only its Western
form.
If this letter had come from a lay
person, it would not be necessary
to dignify such ignorance with a
response. But since it has come
from a "seminarian", I consider it
vital to educate resource people
like him about the historical facts.
Such people have tremendous
potential to contribute to peace
with justice and truth or to divide
universal human community to
lead it to wars. I earnestly hope
that this piece of writing will be
taken as an effort toward inter-
faith understanding and solidarity.
Far from the Holy Lands of the
Middle East, where all of our
Biblical Prophets were born, there
is a tendency to assume that
Prophet Moses (Peace Be Upon
Him) was born in Punxatawny,

PA and Prophet Jesus (Peace Be

Mohammed was of different
descent and was the only one to
be associated with the deserts of
the Middle East.
In fact all of them were brothers
in the monotheistic faith of
Abraham. Any attempts to show
that they worshipped different
Gods would be based on blasphe-
my and utter ignorance.
Fear of the unknown is natural
and dangerous, for different is
often thought of as bad, and the
bad is to be fought against.
It is platitudinous to say that
none of the Biblical Prophets
spoke English and thus none of
them used the word 'God' for
their Creator. All of them called
Him Allah or other variants of the
same root Elah (God). In Semitic
languages like Hebrew, Amharic
of Ethiopia, as well as Arabic,
Elohim and Allahum are a more
respectful way of calling God.
Ya in the word Yahweh is an
exclamatory expression in the
sense of 0'!. And 'hweh' in these
tongues means 'He', another
mannerism in the Near East to
refer to God without naming Him.
Jesus Christ (PBUH) spoke
Aramaic, in which the same thing
is true.
If you ask a Middle Eastern
Christian who Jesus (PBUH) is,
he is sure to say, "Jesus is Ibn
Allah" meaning son of Allah.
In the same vein, AbdAllah, ser-
vant of Allah, is a common
Jewish, Christian, and Muslim
name in the Middle East. If peo-
ple of Baal called their idol their
Allah, this does not mean Allah
becomes Baal or Baal becomes
Muslim God. In India too, it is
common to say: "Allah Ishwar
teray naam", meaning that call
Him by whatever name, it is the
same Deity we all human beings

"...I truly valued the Communication Graduate Program."
Dear Editor,
I was a part of the
Communication Family at
Clarion University from 1994-
2000.
I completed my Bachelors
Degree in Communication in
1998. I then continued on to
receive my Masters Degree in
Communication Education and
Mass Media Technology and
graduated with a 4.0.
I was also the Communication
Department's Outstanding
Graduate Student in the Program.
This is an honor that I strived for
throughout my 4 semesters as a
grad student. If you want some-
thing bad enough, you will
achieve it.
The Communication Graduate
Program has been one of the best
educational decisions I have ever
made in my life. I have learned a
lot from the instructors, each one
of them I want to thank personal-
ly:
*Dr. Joanne Washington- A won-
derful mentor who saw the ability
I had when I could not see it. Dr.
Washington guided me to utilize
that ability to its fullest potential.
*Dr. Scott Kuehn- Without Dr.
Kuehn, I would not have the abil-
ity to perform my current job as
Instructional Designer. He was
my Graduate Advisor and taught
me the pedagogical considera-
tions of online teaching and learn-
ing. My breath of knowledge
expanded as he delved into the
theoretical concepts used in
Communication Education. I am
honored to have learned the tricks
of the trade from one of the most
talented instructors at Clarion
University.
*Dr. Susan Hilton- Dr. Hilton is
like part of the family to me ( She
guided me throughout my four
years as I received my B.S. and
continued to train me for a job in
the real world environment.) Dr.
Hilton was always finding ways
to bring out my strengths. I
always valued her integrity and
faithfulness to Education and her
family.
*Ms. Mary Wilson - Mary was
the "Mother" of our
Communication Graduate Class
of 2000. She taught me the
importance of planning for every-
day activities and how to plan for
a crisis. Mary was always avail-
able to chat and really cared about
what was going on in your life.
*Ms. Patricia Marini- Ms. Marini
taught me how to look at life from
a different perspective. The pro-
jects that I did in her class brought
out a creative side I never knew
existed. Even though I am not
Claude Monet, she sure made me
feel like I was him.
*Dr. Dilnawaz Siddiqui- Dr.
Siddiqui brought real life experi-
ences to his courses. He taught
me the value to look at both sides
of a situation. He also taught me
to stand up for what I firmly value
and believe.
*Dr. Henry Fueg- Dr. Fueg
taught me that if something needs
to be done, do it right the first
time around. It will save you lots
of grief down the road. He also
brought the liveleness that life
should't be taken too seriously.
We win some, we lose some.
*Mr. Bill Adams- What can I say
about Bill? He is one heck of a
guy. He is a very hard worker and
makes learning fun. His students
value his sense of humor and abil-
ity to take the time to explain how
production occurs so things can
run smoother.
Now you know the reasons why
I truly valued the Communication
Graduate Program. You can't
learn all of this through one
semester of going through a pro-
gram.
Everything is not always taught
by a textbook, but rather through
the eyes of others. Instead of
holding a grudge from the first
day of classes, learn to ask ques-
tions, step outside of your own
boundaries, keep an open-mind,
and realize we have a truly talent-
ed family in the Communication
Department. You also need to go
beyond the call of duty. It's not
always an easy job, but it has
brought me success.
Currently, I live in Prescott,
Arizona working as an
Instructional Designer at Yavapai
College. I accepted this position
four months after I left the
Graduate Program at Clarion
University.
The job description entailed
everything I learned in the pro-
gram. I wouldn't have this job
without the dedication of the
Professors in the Communication
Department.
So Don I'm sorry that you did-
n't have the experience that I was
able to have at Clarion University.
Just take my advice: if you want
something bad enough, you'll
achieve it. It sounds like that just
wasn't there for you.

bombing-and no one has bombed more
than this nation-is a history of endless
atrocities.
In both World War II and in Vietnam, the
historical record shows there was a delib-
erate decision to target civilians in order to
destroy the morale of the enemy-hence the
firebombing of Dresden, Hamburg,
Tokyo, the B-52's over Hanoi and the jet
bombers over peaceful villiages in
Vietnam. When some argue that we can
engage in 'limited military action' without
'an excessive use offeree,' they ignore the
history of bombing. The momentum of
war rides roughshod over limits."
The horrible costs of bombing are
already visible to those who care to see,
despite the media's serious attempts to
hide the horror. Marc Herold, University
of New Hampshire, did a survey of press
accounts of civilian casualities in
Afghanistan.
Zinn wrote for the Feb. 1 1 issue of The
Nation that "Herold lists location, type of
weapons used and source of information
and finds the civilian death toll to Dec. 10
exceeds 3500 (since raised to 4000), a
parallel to the number of victims" in this
country. Everyone should read this
account.
The Progressive said "To pile innocent
body upon innocent body will do no one
and no nation any good. What kind of
morality is it for Bush to decry the killing
of our civilians and then go out and kill
civilians himself?" Can any concerned
person believe the deaths of innocent
women and children will be justified by
deceptive and deadly military excuses
such as "accident," "military targets" and
"collateral damage?"
Terrorist exist here and in 70-100 coun-
tries. Will Bush wage wars against Egypt,
Germany, Spain and Florida to hunt down
the equivalents of Tim McVeigh, Terry
Nichols and Bin Laden? New suicide
bombers will arise each time a bomb
wipes out another innocent village.
There are other dangers. Five of the
involved nations in the area have nuclear
weapons. As in all conflict, there are no
guarantees where events will take the
many involved powers in this complicated
struggle before it terminates.
There is a serious threat that our obses-
sion with Iraq will result in new land and
air assaults. The administration has
strongly hinted that the "war on terrorism"
will be expanded and transposed into a
war against nations which may have
"weapons of mass destruction." Strangely
enough, these are weapons which we
(have used) and our allies already have.
The US led a deadly one-sided war
against Iraq in 1991 despite the fact that
Mikhail Gorbachev had secured Saddam
Hussein's agreement to withdraw from
Kuwait. However, Bush insisted on war.
At least 100,000 Iraqi soldiers died in a
desperate retreat, referred to it as a "turkey
Bush called the suicide
crashes 'acts of war'. 99
-Kenneth Emerick
shoot."
Air patrols and bombing raids continue
at times over Iraqi airspace. Economic
sanctions continue to devastate the econo-
my and limit essential reconstruction of
infrastructure and at least a million deaths
have resulted from those sanctions. More
than 500,000 children have died. When
asked about the 5,(X)0 kids who die each
month. Secretary of State Albright said,
"We think the price is worth it."
Historian Chalmers Johnson wrote for
The Nation that "The assassins did not
'attack America' as for our political lead-
ers and the news media like to maintain.
They attacked American foreign policy.
Bush ( and others) told us we were
attacked because we are a 'beacon of free-
dom' and because the attackers were
'evil'. That jargon is disingenuous and a
way of evading responsibility for the
'blowback' that America's imperial pro-
jects have generated." Norman Mailer has
commented that "We have an obscene
obsession with ourselves."
At this unusual time we have blindly
become the hopeless but willing vassals of
an unelected but appointed White House
occupant. Richard Falk, International law
professor at Princeton, suggests "The cur-
rent support for war, nurtured by an
unholy alliance of government and media,
will be seen as violence directed against
civilian societies and the innocent. Let us
not delude ourselves, it will inflame, not
deter."
The War Resisters League has called
attention to "the policies of militarism
pursued by the US that have resulted in
millions of deaths." The League would
have us "seek a world in which security is
gained through disarmament, international
cooperation and social justice-not through
escalation and retaliation."
Our country has slowly but gradually
evolved politically into a largely militaris-
tic state. Its power and control over events
severly limit our ability to deal effectively
with domestic problems. On the world
scene our foreign policies more and more
directly and forcefully dominate all those
areas where we arrogantly insist that our
interests must prevail. An Iranian official
has said that the US does not appreciate
how far it pushes other nations.

group conflict. The program is
making a greater effort to get its
message beyond the campus and
into the community.
During on-campus Building
Bridges programs, the student
associates are invited into class-
rooms to begin deeper dialogue
with fellow students concerning
intergroup issues. The goal this
time is to bring that message to
anyone in the community who
may want to attend. The primary
focus of Building Bridges is race
and ethnicity, but other topics that
may arise include gender, class,
racial bias, interracial dating,
minority scholarships, segrega-
tion, affirmative action. Black
History Month, and the effect of
media on racism.
"This is a program that thrives
on people opening up and partici-
pating," said Rogers Laugand, co-
director of Building Bridges and
director of Minority Student
Services at Clarion University.
"Building Bridges is trying to go
beyond the university community
with its programs."
The effort reflects in the Fall
2001 presentations. According to
Laugand, 24 Building Bridges
sessions were held on campus,
one at Venango Campus in Oil
City, one for the Allegheny
Defense Project, and six more at
Clarion-Limestone High School.
Building Bridges came to the
attention of Clarion University
students when they attended a
Conference on Students of Color
and brought the idea back to
Clarion University President
Diane L. Reinhard. This led to the
establishment of the program now
directed by Laugand, and Dr.
Mary Ann McLaughlin, associate
professor of education.
Student associates participating
in Building Bridges during the
Spring 2002 semester are:
Denise Brooks, a senior elemen-
tary education/special education
major. She is a daughter of
Catherine Brooks of Clarion, arni
is a graduate of Clarion Area High

CUP schedules "chat" for students
by Christina Meehan
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
Prospective Clarion students
will soon be "chatting" with
Clarion University representa-
tives during the University's
first on-line chat, 3-6 p.m.,
February 18.
Once students enter the site,
students can chat with: Bill
Bailey, dean of enrollment
management; Charles Desch,
assistant director of admis-
sions; or Amanda Lutz, assis-
tant director of admissions.
Students can also talk to
Abbey Mumford, admissions
student representative; Mary
Jo Phillips, freshman financial
aid advisor; Bev Miller,
administrative assistant in
financial aid; Christina
Tillotson, associate athletic
director; Barry Morris, direc-
tor of residence life; and Scott
Horch, assistant director of
residence life/technology
issues.
Bailey feels the chat is on the
cutting edge of technology in
higher education recruiting.
"The chat room provides an
opportunity for students to
visrt and ask questions, just
like they could during a cam-
pus visit," said Bailey. "It is
another avenue to connect to
today's students, who use tech-
nology to make their decisions
about college. We are excited
about this opportunity and
hope students take advantage
of this electronic open house."
The technological aspects of
the on-line chat are being
arranged by Adam Earnheardt,
Clarion University webmas-
ter/e-marketing director.
Earnheardt explains that stu-
dents have many choices once
they enter the site.
"With the chat, students will
be able to choose between sev-
eral different chat rooms dur-
ing the 3-hour time period,"
said Earnheardt. "If they're
interested in athletics, they can
visit the athletics chat room
and chat with a representative
from intercollegiate athletics.
The same goes for admission
and financial aid issues, stu-
dent life and living on campus.
We'll even have a room just
for students to chat with a cur-
rent Clarion student, so they
can ask questions that they
may not want to ask someone
from admissions or student
life."
To reach the on-line chat,
prospective students and fami-
lies should visit the Clarion
home page at http://www. clari-
on. edu/www.clarion.edu and
click on the "Prospective
Students" link in the upper
left-hand menu bar. On the

Governor cuts CUP funding
by 3 percent
by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
According to President Diane
Reinhard, at the Feb. 1 1 Faculty
Senate meeting, the governor
has requested a three percent
reduction in the state appropria-
tion for Clarion University.
President Reinhard said,
"Since I've been president, this
is the most difficult proposal
from the governor, but we are
working with the legislature to
see if they can lower the reduc-
tion at all."
The governor continues to rec-
ognize a difference between
state-owned and state-related
schools, some of which have
been reduced by five percent.
President Reinhard said Clarion
University's proposed three per-
cent reduction is actually less
than some of the surrounding
state-owned schools and public
universities, but there could still
be a major impact.
In other Faculty Senate news,
the Library Sub-Committee

meeting.
This motion would require
Senate to allocate up to $500
from the Supplemental Reserve
account to the Athletic
Department. The department
does not want the students to
have to pay for tickets; therefore.
Senate would have to pay $10.00
for each ticket obtained. The
motion passed 20-1-0.
The PSAC swimming champi-

Tickets are available at the
Gemmell information desk on a

in need of non perishable items
like snack foods, letters, cards,
and magazines. The donations
are for all US. soldiers in
Afghanistan, including a future
Clarion University student,
Daniel "JR." Paga, a
Westmoreland County resident
stationed in Kandahar.
Drop off boxes have been
placed in Campbell Hall, Nair

raiser can be purchased accord-
ing to gymnasium section. The
cost is $17 for the lower section
and $12 for the upper section of
the gymnasium. In addition, a $3
discount can be obtained at
Burger King.
Vice President Gring awarded
Senator Tim Smith as Senator of

Baschnagel up for PSAHPERD reelection
by Amy Ujazdowski
Clarion Call Staff Writer^
The Pennsylvania State
Association for Health, Physical
Education, Recreation, and Dance
(PSAHPERD) is preparing to vote
for executive officers including
Norbert Baschnagel, professor of
health and physical education.
Baschnagel has been elected as the
organization's vice-president of the
Recreation Division. As a vice-pres-
ident he would perform duties such
as: be responsible for the election of
the section officers within the
Recreation Division, be responsible
for evaluating all convention pro-
grams pertaining to recreation, and
serve as a member of the Executive
Committee.
Preparation for this chair is a life
long experience for Baschnagel.
When asked if he were up for the
challenge, he said, "No question
about it."
Baschnagel plays a lai^ge role in the
community. When he first moved to
Clarion almost 30 years ago, the
community did not have a YMCA.
Today, the Clarion YMCA owns a
9000 sq. ft. facility for all recreation.
He is involved with the Clarion
Kiwanis, holding the vice-president
chair at one time.
He is on area high school booster
clubs, a part of the Clarion Red
Cross, and has raised close to half of
a million dollars for various recre-
ation clubs in the area in the past sev-
enteen years.
Baschnagel's involvement has
received the appreciation of the com-
munity and many service awards.
Some of the awards included a
YMCA Distinguished Service
Award for bringing the YMCA to the
Clarion area, serving as the first
chairman of the Clarion County
YMCA organizing committee,
directing many fund raising events,
and serving as a member of the
YMCA Board of Managers for nine
years.
He received a Public Relations
Award for 1992 from the PSAH-
PERD for being chairman of a jump-
rope-a-thon fund raiser at Clarion
University. This event raised over
$4,500 for the Red Cross of Clarion
County on Dec. 4, 1992.
On the campus level, Baschnagel
coached both the mens varsity bas-
ketball team from 1974-1982 and the
womens varsity tennis team fix)m
1982-1989 at Clarion University.
At the end of his eight years coach-
ing mens basketball, the cumulative
record for the team is 159-67. Under
his supervision, the school record for
most victories in one season has
never been touched at 27-3.
Coaching womens tennis, the team
achieved a record setting four con-
secutive Pennsylvania State
Athletics Conference Womens
Tennis Championship Titles. Plus,
for three consecutive years, the team
ranked number one in the east out of
49 schools by the NCAA East
Division II Womens Tennis
Committee.
Even though Baschnagel is well
known throughout the community
for his compassion to help others, he
is also a person of educational excel-
lence. He studied at the State
University of Buffalo in New York
for a Bachelor's and Master's
degree. However, he went on to
Nova University in Florida to study
in the Doctoral Student Program for
Higher Education.
According to the PSAHPERD con-,
stitution, it is an Association .to
encourage an interest in health,
improves techniques of teaching.
and advance standards of profession-
al leadership.
'Constantly trying to find a better
way," Baschnagel said about how
the Association is always trying to
stay current on information.
If Baschnagel becomes vice-presi-
dent of the Recreation Division, he
will hold the chair for two years. He
stressed his current role in planning
the organization's convention, and
expressed his excitement for the
opportunity of gaining more leader-
ship in planning this event.

Principal certification degrees being offered
Contributed by
University Relations
To meet a growing shortage of
principals in Pennsylvania,
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania and Slippery Rock
University of Pennsylvania will
offer a joint principal certifica-
tion degree.
The 16-credit program will
start with the Fall 2002 semester.
Candidates enrolled in the pro-
gram will be able to complete
the requirements for certifica-
tion over a one year period.
Dr. Gail Grejda, dean of the
College of Education and
Human Resources said,
"Through the combined
resources of these institutions,
candidates will be presented
with a high quality, selective
program, designed to be com-
pleted in two semesters."
The new principal's certifica-
tion degree is designed as a post-
master's degree program. It is
anticipated that a core group
would register for the program
each fall and complete it in an
academic year.
The NCATE (National Council
for Accreditation of Teacher
Education) approved program
requires substantial in-field
work to link theory to practice.
Candidates for the program
will participate in the Principal
Assessment Center test to identi-
fy major areas to be addressed
during the course of the pro-
gram.
Candidates must also provide:
evidence of completion of a
master's degree from an accred-
ited institution with a minimum
GPA of 3.0; submission of two
personal writings (leadership
philosophy and teaching/learn-
ing philosophy); two letters of
reference; and documentation of
three years of teaching experi-
ence.
"All courses will be heavily
grounded in simulations, case
studies, and field experiences,"
said. Grejda.
The courses will be organized
thematically to include: leader-
ship and administration process;
curriculum issues; school man-
agement; administrative ethics
and school law; special educa-
tion; human resource manage-
ment; and community relations.
Each theme area will be divided
into modules worth one to two
credits.
These themes are aligned with
the Pennsylvania Department of
Education standards and
Interstate School Leaders
Licensure Consortium (ISLLC)
standards. All candidates com-
pleting the principal certifica-
tion program are required to
pass the Praxis II Educational
Leadership, Administration and
Supervision test. The program is
designed to be completed by
candidates while they maintain
their current position.
Both Clarion and Slippery
Rock faculty members will pro-
vide coursework. Six members
of Clarion University's
Education department, all with
school administrative creden-
tials and experience, will teach:
Dr. Barrie Brancato, Dr. John
Colantonio, Dr. Richard
DeLuca, Dr. Marilyn Howe, Dr.
Sally Sentner, and Dr. Davie
Tate, Jr. Interactive television
connections will connect
Clarion and Slippery Rock.
"Area school administrators
will serve as adjunct instructors,
bringing firsthand experiences
to the program," said Grejda.
"They will also serve as asses-
sors for the Principal
Assessment Center. Clarion
looks forward to addressing this
educational need, providing
what we anticipate will be an
outstanding program."

Various programs allow students to study abroad
by Angela Bautista
Clarion Call Staff W
Studying abroad is something
students might think about, but
never look into. Clarion
University's, International
Programs can accommodate
every student.
Regardless of what major,
there is a program for everyone.
One program is called "ISEP".
With this program, a student
pays regular tuition including
room and board along with
additional fees for airfare and
spending money.
When a Clarion student trav-
els abroad, a student from
another country comes to
Clarion. There are over 200
sites in 40 countries that a stu-
dent can travel to. Many
English-speaking countries are
available.
According to Lynn Hepfl,
Study Abroad coordinator, "It is
a myth that a student must have
a second language to study
abroad."
This program has been run-
ning since 1979. Each ISEP
coordinator in each country is
responsible for the student.
No one is ever alone even
though he or she is in a new
and unfamiliar country. If a stu-
dent would like to participate in
an internship over seas, that can
be arranged through ISEP also.
Another program is called the
"Visiting Student Program".
With this program, a student has
the opportunity to study with a
group over seas. This may be
more comforting to a student
who is not very outgoing.
Hepfl said, "Everyone has a
different take on it. Some stu-
dents would rather go by them-
selves and experience every-
thing, while others feel more
comfortable to have a familiar
face near them."
The summer program is in
North Hampton, England. This
particular program is five weeks
long. With this program, the
student is studying abroad and
traveling to other countries at
the same time. For example, the
student stays in England, but in
the middle of the week can trav-
el to other countries.
Hepfl said," It is nice to do
short term traveling first. Many
students haven't traveled out-
side of the United States before
and this is a nice way to experi-
ence new places."
Another program is in Malta,
which is located in the
Mediterranean Sea. This pro-
gram is offered in the spring to
students at Clarion.
The program tends to attract
students because of the warm
climate.
The program sends a Clarion
student to Malta in the spring,
while in the fall; a student from
Malta comes to Clarion. During
this experience, a two-week
break is offered.
It was encouraged by all for
the student to purchase a "Euro
Rail" pass allowing them to
sight see in Europe for the two
weeks. However, because of
safety reasons, this privilege
was suspended. The student's
safety is always the first priori-
ty-
Each major offers something
special to the International
Program at Clarion. For exam-
ple, if a student is an education
major they can student teach in
another country. In the Business
Department if a student is an
International Business major, it
is a requirement that they travel
abroad.
The ideal time to start think-
ing about studying abroad is in
the student's freshman year.
This allows the student to meet
with their academic advisor and
make a four-year plan with
scheduling classes.
International Programs feels
that this experience should
enhance academic quality, not
hinder it. It must fit into a plan
with Clarion.
Basically, the placement of the
student is completely up to the
student. If someone likes the
city over the country, they will
be sent to a school in a city set-
ting. Accommodating what the
student wants is what the
International Programs tries to
do.
When a student studies
abroad, he or she must receive a
grade of a "C" or better for it to
transfer back to Clarion.
Some of the most popular des-
tinations are to Spain, France
and in general, Europe. Warm
climates and English speaking
countries appeal to students.
On average, three or four stu-
dents study abroad every semes-
ter from Clarion. Financial aid
is offered to students as well as
scholarships as if the student
stayed at Clarion.
However, the student must
obtain full time status to receive
financial aid. A student should
contact the International
Programs a year before the
studying abroad can take place.
If you have any questions, call
393-2340. Dr. Jocelyn Gant is
the Director of International
Programs.
Linda Heineman is the
International Student Advisor,
and Hepfl is the Study Abroad
Coordinator. Her e-mail address

Tobeco seeks to bring the Clarion community togetlier
by Matt May
Clarion Call
Assistant Lifestyles Editor
Every day we pass by each
other, never knowing the
other's name. We don't stop
to say "Hello;" we just keep
walking, never really stopping
to know the other better.
Each of us is different. We
come from different places;
we have different backgrounds
and different beliefs; we are
different sexes, ages and col-
ors. Yet we also have a com-
mon thread that runs through
us.
Each of us is part of Clarion.
Whether we've lived here our
entire lives, are getting our
education here, or just work-
ing here, we are all part of the
community.
Tobeco, Clarion's premier
literary arts journal, is work-
ing to bring our diverse com-
munity together.
Tobeco, titled after the
Native American name for the
Clarion River, is currently
accepting submissions for its
upcoming issue that will be
released at the end of April.
The yearly journal publishes
works of fiction, essays, poet-
ry, bilingual and multilingual
submissions (with English
translations), and 2-D visual
art. While Tobeco is put
together on the Clarion
University campus, it features
works from everyone in the
Clarion area.
"There's this misconception
that the journal is just for
English majors," says Mary
Lou Manhart, Editor-in-Chief
of Tobeco. "But it's for every-
body."
The staff of Tobeco is reach-
ing out to everyone in the
Clarion community to put
forth their voice and vision in
this journal. From high
schools to retirement homes,
Tobeco is making it possible
for people of all ages and ori-
gins to express themselves in
a journal that showcases this
area.
"Our vision for the journal is
for it to be more than just a
physical entity," Manhart
explains. "We want to bring
together the whole communi-
ty. Young people, old people,
students of the university.
members of the faculty can all
submit their work. Tobeco is a
place for everyone to have
their voices heard."
One way Tobeco is making
itself known and achieving its
vision is through open mic
nights at Michelle's Cafe,
where members of the commu-
nity present their works. On
these nights, Tobeco encour-
ages the community to submit
their best works to the journal.
The next open mic night at
Michelle's Cafe is at 7:00 p.m.
on March 7.
"It's our way of bringing the
journal to the people and
bringing people to the jour-
nal," says Manhart of the open
mic nights.
To be published in the next
issue of Tobeco, submissions
must be made by March 15.
All English submissions can
be sent to Dr. Phillip Terman
in 210-E Davis Hall. Works
can be submitted in hard copy
or on disk. For hard copies to
be returned, a self-addressed
stamped envelope must be
included with the submission.
Bilingual and multilingual
submissions can be made with
English translations to Dr.
Elisabeth Donato in 208-C
Davis Hall.
Visual 2-D art submissions
should be submitted in black
and white to Jim Rose in 110
Marwick-Boyd. Jim Rose is
also accepting submissions for
cover art which should be
marked as such. A payment of
$50 will be awarded for the
chosen cover design. Any
questions can be sent to Mary
Lou Manhart via e-mail at
S_MMANHART@clarion.edu
While we might continue to
pass strangers with nothing
more than a glance, Tobeco is
hoping to bring the Clarion
community together through
the creative expression we all
possess.

Scottish group Mogwai is more than just a fuzzy critter
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
ARTIST/ALBUM: Mogwai,
Rock Action.
FOR FANS OF: Moody,
atmospheric progressive
music; post-rock.
FOR FURTHER LISTEN-
ING: Godspeed You Black
Emperor's Lift Your Skinny
Fists Like Antennas To
Heaven, Mogwai 's Ten Rapid.
Mogwai's biggest (and most
notorious) claim to fame thus
far has been a t-shirt. A sim-
ple t-shirt which contains the
epithet: "Blur = S**t."
Although Mogwai are dead
wrong in saying that, it
reveals multitudes about their
character and particular
sound.
Is Mogwai self-important?
Absolutely. Are they preten-
tious and willfully difficult?
Without a doubt. Should they
be best-known for an inflam-
matory t-shirt? No.
The Scottish group Mogwai
(though nowhere near as spec-
tacular as Blur) certainly have
a handle on where they're '
going, and their vision for
their music. While Mogwai
have crafted many fine sin-
gles and album tracks in their
career, they have yet to deliv-
er a truly stunning full-length
(the Ten Rapid compilation
doesn't count). After the flac-
cid performance and reception
of their last effort. Come On
Die Young, Mogwai have dug
themselves out of their artis-
tic rut with the finest record
they've made to date.
Rock Action is a consolida-
tion of all of Mogwai's beliefs
and practices. It's an arche-
typal post-rock album, though
it's difficult to pin down
exactly what that means. A
shifting, inclusive genre,
post-rock can mean anything
from Tortoise's jazzy compo-
sitions to Godspeed You
Black Emperor's wall-of-
sound instrumental tsunamis.
The interesting thing about
Rock Action is that while it
sums up Mogwai in one neat
package, it also expands their
view. Rock Action is not sole-
ly comprised of thudding,
ponderous instrumental pas-
sages and complex, ever-
changing time signatures.
Several of the tracks featured
on Rock Action come armed
with an almost folky vibe,
such as on "Dial: Revenge"
and the banjo contained in the
album's centerpiece, "2
Rights Make 1 Wrong."
Though many tracks from
Rock Action still flirt with
epic lengths ("2 Rights..."
pushes the ten minute mark),
for the most part they have
been pared down in size to a
length that's more appealing
to a wider audience. While
the songs may have been con-
densed in size, they certainly
lose nothing in scope;
Mogwai are still as far-reach-
ing as they always have been.
No longer do Mogwai write
only dense, obtuse mood
pieces. Rock Action has a few
moments, that while they'll
never make a Top 40 singles
chart, do contain actual hooks
in them. Hell, if Mogwai
wasn't on Matador Records,
and their music wasn't still a
chore (but a pleasant one) to
work through, you'd think
they were selling out.
The most shocking develop-
ment of all would only cement
that impression in your head,
as well. For the first time
ever on a Mogwai record,
vocals are included. Mogwai
enlisted the talents of Gruff
Rhys for a couple of tracks on
Rock Action, and these tracks
are not only the album's high-
lights, but rank among
Mogwai's best work ever.
Rock Action opens typically
enough, however, with "Sine
Wave." As an oscillating vibe
drones away in the back-
ground, a wavering guitar
string is absently plucked.
Gradually, rhythmic bursts of
static fill in the void, building
in intensity and volume, as a
bit of synthesizer, pro-
grammed to resemble a human
voice, whispers wordless
sighs in a throat filled with
mercury.
As "Sine Wave" fades,
"Take Me Somewhere Nice"
gently unfurls its majestic
wings with a swooning string
section and comforting
acoustic guitar. Guest vocal-
ist David Pajo caps off the
mix as he delicately, almost
tentatively utters stream-of-
consciousness lyrics and
piano notes ping around him,
while fuzz guitars buzz in the
distant background.
"Take Me Somewhere Nice"
is still in the earlier mood-
piece vein of Mogwai, as it
doesn't really change struc-
ture much in its 5 minute-plus
run, though the next track, the
50-second "0 I Sleep" func-
tions as a fragile, sparse outro
to "Take Me Somewhere
Nice."
The next track, "Dial:
Revenge," really shows how
much Mogwai have changed.
A damn-near jangly riff (think
early REM, only with a slow-
er tempo), heartstring-tugging
strings and lightfooted drum-
ming combine for a track with
depth, but not so dense that
you can't see through it. It's
downright hummable, some-
thing you certainly couldn't
say about Mogwai before.
Rhys' vocals are the icing
on the cake, of course, pro-
viding a human touchstone;
coating the song with his high
yet soothing pitch like a
melancholy moss. Clocking
in at three and a half minutes,
"Dial: Revenge" is as close to
mainstream as you'll proba-
bly ever hear from these guys,
and its fleetingness only
makes it more powerful.
The album's midpoint
shows Mogwai doing what
they're familiar with once
again, as "You Don't Know
Jesus" kicks off forebodingly
with funeral-march drums and
mournful guitar riffs, building
to a torrent of dissonance and
white noise, with a climax
that doesn't release any ten-
sion, instead only increasing
it. Hissing programming
beats upon your ears as if a
downpour of rain on a tin
shanty.
After the slight interstitial
"Robot Chant" comes the cul-
mination of Rock Action, with
the gorgeous "2 Rights Make
1 Wrong." This is Mogwai at
the height of their consider-
able powers, meshing togeth-
er both the long instrumental
passages and the newfound
love of hooks. Despite fea-
turing only slight, distorted
vocals and being ten minutes
long, "2 Rights..." is the song
you'll find running through
your head long after the rest
of the album has faded.
A jangly acoustic guitar and
wobbly Brian Wilson-styled
synth opens the song, as a
measured cascade of drums
and ethereal strings battle for
your attention. A solid,
melodic bass line actually
propels the song forward, as
defiant horns enter the mix,
slowly working their way to
the foreground. A resplendent
organ riff thrusts "2 Rights..."
into a shimmering climax, and
as the track's first movement
fades, the processed vocal
returns, and the appearance of
a banjo marks the track's sec-
ond half.
Providing a wonderful off-
set to the rest of "2
Rights. ..'"s 21st century
ambiance, the unlikely instru-
ment adds a rustic touch,
carefully easing you down
into the final moments, and
transforming it from a surging
giant to a wistful lullaby, as
Rhys' wordless vocalizing
dots the sky like so many star-
ry constellations.
Rock Action's final track,
"Secret Pint," carries on that
vibe, with an unaltered piano
and acoustic guitar easing you
into a trance. "Secret Pint"
ends Rock Action on a relax-
ing, hopeful vibe, and bring-
ing the affair to an odd sort of
closure.
Even with its streamlined
sound. Rock Action won't win
over the majority of the
music-buying public, which
truly is a shame.
Introspective, colorful and
unpredictable, Mogwai proves
that they are capable of pro-
ducing not only stunning
moments, but an album filled
with them; one that works
equally well as a collection of
separate songs as it does a
complete whole. Perhaps the
only complaint I can find with
Rock Action is that it too
often lacks real human emo-
tion. Such is a complaint that
arises from many progressive
albums. While technically
proficient, emotion can get
lost while trying to impress
with dazzling playing and
production. But this is only
nitpicking, and many songs
do manage to combine both
(particularly "2 Rights Make
1 Wrong"). Mogwai's Rock
Action gets a 4 out of 5 stars.

Academy Award nominations are predictable, with a few surprises
by Keith GwiUim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
The Academy Award nominations
were announced on Tuesday, bring-
ing with them the usual mixture of
agreement and despair. This year's
nominations are really no diiferent
from any other previous year, as the
Academy has decided to snub edgy
independent films and recognize
the usual Hollywood fare.
There are a few exceptions to this,
however, as indie films such as In
The Bedroom and Gosford Park
garnered numerous nominations
along with the predictable favorites
such as A Beautiful Mind and Lord
Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The
Ring. The glaring omission of
films such as The Royal
Tennenbaums and Ghost World is
inexcusable, but this comes as no
surprise.
So, without any further to-do,
here is my breakdown of this year's
nominations.
The nominations for Best Picture
draws mixed feelings, with the
nominees being A Beautiful Mind,
Gosford Park, In The Bedroom,
Lord Of The Rings and Moulin
Rouge. A Beautiful Mind and Lord
Of The Rings seem like automatic
choices; one being the traditional
Hollywood biopic (directed by Ron
Howard, no less) and the stunning
epic picture that the Academy loves
so much (in the tradition of recent
picks such as Gladiator,
Braveheart, etc). Moulin Rouge is
a curious pick, as it was almost uni-
versally panned by critics and drew
small crowds at movie theaters.
Both Gosford Park and In The
Bedroom seem like dark horses,
and will split votes evenly, killing
their chances of winning.
Who will win: I'm going with
Lord Of The Rings on this one, as it
appeals to the widest audience of
all the films, did spectacularly at
the box office, and earned the love
of critics. Who should win: The
Royal Tennenbaums, which wasn't

even nominated is the obvious
choice. Touching, funny, irreverent
and invigorating, Wes Anderson's
third film (after Rushmore) is a
mosaic of feelings and an offbeat
character study.
The Best Actor nominations this
year are beyond laughable. Up for
the award is Russell Crowe for A
Beautiful Mind, Sean Penn for I Am
Sam, Will Smith for ^4//, Denzel
Washington for Training Day and

Tom Wilkinson for In The
Bedroom. Crowe seems unlikely to
win again this year, as he took
home the same honor last year.
Sean Penn could walk away with it,
since mentally troubled characters
have always been an Academy
favorite.
The nods to Denzel Washington
and Will Smith are refreshing, as
the Academy rarely recognizes
african-american players, but they
don't really deserve it for either of
these films. Training Day, while it
was a highly entertaining film, and
Washington being the best part of
it, is not Oscar material. Ali was
hated by many critics, though
Smith's performance was champi-
oned by more than a few. Tom
Wilkinson is too unknown to really
have a chance.
Who will win: Denzel
Washington. One of Hollywood's
most underrated actors,
Washington is due for this recogni-
tion. But it should have come from
his performance last year in The
Hurricane. Who should win:
Gene Hackman for The Royal
Tennenbaums. Hollywood's finest
character actor turns in one of his
most endearing performances with
this film. His portrayal of the patri-
arch of an infamous family is pure
gold.
Best Actress nominations this
year are very unconventional, to
say the least. Up for the award is
Halle Barry for Monster's Ball,
Judi Dench for Iris, Nicole Kidman
in Moulin Rouge, Sissy Spacek for
In The Bedroom and Renee
Zellweger for Bridget Jones ' Diary.
Judi Dench seems to be nominated
in this category every year, and I
really don't see her walking away
with it, due to the fact that nobody
saw Iris. Zellweger's performance
in Bridget Jones' Diary was cute,
but hardly Oscar-worthy. Barry
and Kidman are surprising choices,
Barry being the more worthy.
Watching Kidman slop through the
mess of Moulin Rouge was alter-
nately painful and laughable.
Spacek delivered one of her most
acclaimed performances ever, but
again - In The Bedroom wasn't high
profile enough to make her a lock.
Who will win: This is a tough one
to pick. It seems to be the year of
Nicole Kidman, but I'm picking
Sissy Spacek to walk away with it.
The Academy loves a great come-
back tale. Who should win: Thora
Birch for Ghost World, who again
wasn't even nominated. Her char-
acter, Enid is a painfully accurate
look at teenage angst and doubt.
Watch for even bigger and better
things from Birch.
The choices for Best Supporting
Actor are pretty solid, actually. Jim
Broadbent for Iris, Ethan Hawke
for Training Day, Ben Kingsly for
Sexy Beast, Ian McKellan for Lord
Of The Rings and Jon Voight for
Ali. Both Broadbent and Kingsly's
performances weren't seen enough
to be serious contenders, and
Voight seems like a sympathy vote.
Hawke continues the love of
Training Day, though his perfor-
mance was superb, and McKellan
elevated the acting level of Lord Of
The Rings above the usual swords
'n' sorcery epics.
Who will win: Ian McKellan in a
walk. Though Lord Of The Rings
will likely sweep the technical
awards, the Academy will feel the
need to dole out more than that, and
this seems the obvious choice.
Who should win: I'll agree with
McKellan, though Steve Buscemi
was horribly snubbed. His perfor-
mance in Ghost World is a subtle,
nuanced masterpiece. The best
work of his illustrious career.
Up for Best Supporting Actress
are Jennifer Connelly for A
Beautiful Mind, Helen Mirren for
Gosford Park, Maggie Smith for
Gosford Park, Marisa Tomei for In
The Bedroom and Kate Wins let for
Iris. The two Gosford Park nomi-
nations will likely cancel each
other out, and nobody saw
Winslet's performance, so it will
likely be a battle between Connelly
and Tomei.
Who will win: Jennifer Connelly.
This actress has been around for
years, and never really receives the
recognition she deserves, particu-
larly for last year's dark, troubled
Requiem For A Dream. Who
should win: Gweneth Paltrow for
The Royal Tennenbaums. Though
Connelly would be a fine choice,
Paltrow 's manic performance as
the outcast adopted daughter in
...Tennenbaums was spellbinding.
Despite the exclusion of Wes
Anderson, the choices for Best
Director are competent. Ron
Howard for A Beautiful Mind,
Ridley Scott for Black Hawk
Down, Robert Altman for Gosford
Park, Peter Jackson for Lord Of
The Rings and David Lynch for
Mulholland Drive are all compet-
ing this year. Howard's film was
enjoyable, but lacked any real
vision, Scott could gamer votes for
his jerky style and washed-out
beauty, and Altman is a nice choice-
for his ability to juggle numerous
plotlines. Lynch is too much of a
dark horse to win this, since
Mulholland Drive was an indie hit,
and little more.
Who will win: The door is wide
open for Peter Jackson this year
It's a tall order to craft a film that
blends action, fantasy and drama in
such a seamless package, but
Jackson overcame all, and success-
fully translated a novel many said
couldn't ever be done justice. Who
should win: While it's hard to
ignore Jackson's achievement, Wes
Anderson is the maverick choice
for The Royal Tennenbaums. In
twenty years from now, we'll be
discussing this film the same way
we now talk about films from then-
fledgling directors such as Kubrick
and Scorcese.
This year brings a new category
to the Awards, Best Animated Film.
For this first year, the nominations
are Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius,
Monsters, Inc. and Shrek. It's crim-
inal that Richard Linkletter's
(director of Dazed And Confused)
film Waking Life was shut out of
this category.
Who will win: Shrek, which won
over both audiences and critics
with its fantastical modern fairy
tale. Who should win: Shrek.
Best Original Screenplay nomi-
nations go to Amelie, Gosford
Park, Memento, Monster 's Ball and
The Royal Tennenbaums.
Who will win: While Amelie
could win votes from those sympa-
thetic to foreign films, it seems the
nod will go to The Royal
Tennenbaums, which can't be com-
pletely ignored. Who should win:
As well-written as Anderson's and
Owen Wilson's script for
...Tennenbaums is, in a perfect
world, it would have already won
the major Oscars, so the award
should go to the fresh and surpris-
ing Memento. The narrative topsy
turvy of this small marvel is a won-
derful thing to behold. It's compa-
rable to a mid-period Hitchcock
piece.
Best Adapted Screenplay ncxis go
to A Beautiful Mind, Ghost World,
In The Bedroom, Lord Of The
Rings, and Shrek.
Who will win: It's a toss-up
between In The Bedroom and Lord
Of The Rings. If Spacek wins the
Best Actress award, look for Lord
Of The Rings to walk home with it,
for its adaptation of Tolkien's clas-
sic text. Who should win: Daniel
Clowe's adaptation of his own

Asteroid nearly destroys Earth. See page 64A.
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
You can skip this column.
I'm sure you have more
important things to do. You
don't need to waste your
valuable time reading about
how MILLIONS OF PEO-
PLE, POSSIBLY INCLUD-
ING YOU, RECENTLY
WERE ALMOST KILLED
BY A GIANT SPACE ROCK
AND THERE ARE MORE
COMING AND NOBODY
IS DOING ANYTHING
ABOUT IT.
Excuse me for going into
CAPS LOCK mode, but I
am a little upset here. In
case you didn't hear about
it, which you probably did-
n't: On Jan. 7, an asteroid
1,000 feet across - nearly
three times the current
diameter of Marlon Brando
- barely missed the Earth,
which is most likely your
planet of residence.
What do I mean by "bare-
ly?" I mean that this aster-
oid, traveling at 68,000
miles per hour, came within
400,000 miles. In astro-
nomical terms, that is noth-
ing.
To get an idea how close
this thing came, imagine
that your head is the Earth.
Now hold your right hand,
representing the sun, at
arm's length. Now take
your left forefinger, repre-
senting the asteroid, and
move it toward the Earth at
68,000 miles per hour until
your pinkie is up to the
knuckle in your left nostril.
Now try to type a sentence.
THAT is what I mean by
"barely."
What if this asteroid had
hit the Earth? According to
British asteroid expert
Benny Peiser, as quoted in
the National Post of
Canada, "Such an object
could literally wipe out a
medium-sized country." So
if you live in a LARGE
country, you have nothing
to worry about!
No, really, if this thing
had hit anywhere on Earth,
it would have been serious-
ly tragic. And don't think
you're safe just because
this one missed. There are
plenty more asteroids and
asterettes (which are your
female asteroids) whizzing
through space, and eventu-
ally one will hit us. Some
already have. Astronomers
believe that 65 million
years ago, a large asteroid
struck Earth and wiped out
the dinosaurs; in 1985, a
smaller one obliterated the
career of Henry "The Fonz"
Winkler. It is only a matter
of time before disaster
strikes again.
I'm sure this information
raises some troubling ques-
tions in your mind, the
main one being: There's a
British asteroid expert
named "Benny?" But also
you're wondering: What is
the astronomy community
doing about this?
Good question. As it hap-
pens, the American
Astronomical Society was
holding a conference in
Washington AT THE VERY
SAME TIME as the asteroid
nearly hit the Earth. I know
this because The New York
Times covered the heck out
of the conference. Here's
the scary part: The Times
did not print ONE WORD
about the asteroid. Instead,
as this thing whizzed past.
The Times printed the fol-
lowing exciting astronomy
news:
JAN. 8 - Astronomers
have discovered that certain
gamma rays, which they
USED to think came from
billions of light-years
away, in fact came from
only a few hundred million
light-years away!
JAN. 9 - Having studied
the far edges of the uni-
verse with the Hubble tele-
scope, astronomers now
believe that roughly 14 bil-
lion years ago, stars formed
more quickly than was pre-
viously thought!
JAN. 10 - Astronomers
"peering deep into the heart
of the Milky Way" have dis-
covered more than 1,000
sources of "powerful X-
rays," far more than were
previously known!
So there you have it:
While the Giant Space Rock
of Death was coming THIS
CLOSE to turning our plan-
et into a cosmic Whack-A-
Mole game, the astronomy
community was squinting at
the far edges of the uni-
verse. This is like two
police officers standing in
the park, and a screaming
woman runs past, chased by
muggers, and one officer
says to the other: "Look
over there! An albino
squirrel!"
No, the astronomers
aren't going to save us.
Humanity must take matters
into its own hands. Step
One, of course, is for
everybody to lay in at
LEAST a two-week supply
of margarita ingredients.
Step Two is to mount a mas-
sive international project,
based on the movie
Armageddon, to watch for
an incoming asteroid, and
then send up a rocket, com-
manded by Bruce Willis, to
blow it up with a hydrogen
bomb. Except of course we
can't really use Bruce,
because he'd want $20 mil-
lion, plus a percentage of
the asteroid. So we need
someone else - someone
with courage, skill and a
proven ability to perform in
the face of grave danger.
There is one name that
comes immediately to my
mind, as I'm sure it does to
yours. Geraldo, your planet
needs you.

Academy Award nominations are predictable, with a few surprises
by Kt'ith dwillim
(Marion C all I'ff^tvlcs Kditor
I'hc \c.uicnn \u,iid nominations
uciv annouiKcd on 1 ucsday. hiine
ing vMth them the usual mixture ot
agreement and despair Fhis year's
nominatmns aie really no different
from any other previous \ear. as the
Academy has decided to snub edgy
indejxMident films and recognize
the usual Hollyuxx^d fare.
There are a few exceptions to this,
however, as indie films such as In
Thf Bedroom and (iosfoni t\irk
garnered numerous nominations
along with the predictable favorites
such as A Beautiful Mind and U)rd
Of The Rini^s F\'llo\v.ship Of The
Rini^. The glaring omission of
films such as 77k' Rouil
Tennenhaunis and Ghost WoHd is
inexcusable, but this ct>mes as no
surprise.
So, without any further to-do,
here is my breakdown of this \ear's
nominations.
The nominations for Best Picture
draus mixed feelings, with the
nmiiinees being A Beauiitul Mind.
CuisU'id Park, In The Bedroom.
L)rd ( ',' The Rim^s and Moulin
Rom:. \ Heiiutiful Mind and lA)rd
Ot Till Ron^s seem like autiimatic
choices; one being the traditional
Ho!l\wiH>d biopic iduxMcd by Ron
Hou.ud, no less) and the stunning
epic picture thai the Acadenu loves
so much I in the tradition ■! recent
ni.^ I siicfl .!■- (iLldiLllO' .
Hi. ,;.'/. do Miiiili'i Rou\:e \^
a curious pick, as it was almost uni-
versally panned by critics and drew
small crowds .it m^^\Ie theaters.
Hvilh iiosjord Tii/k and /// I he
Bedroom seem like dark horses,
and will split votes evenly, killing
their chances oi winning.
Who will win: I'm going with
Lud Of The Rm^s on this one, as it
appeals to the widest audience of
all the films, did spectacularly at
the box office, and earned the love
tif critics Who should win: The
Roxal Tennenbaums, which wasn't
even nominated is the obvious
choice. Touching, funny, irreverent
and invigorating. Wes Anderson's
third film (after Ru.shmore'* is a
mosaic of feelings and an offbeat
character study.
The Best Actor nominations this
\ear are beyond laughable. 1 p tor
the award is Russell ('roue tor A
Benunful Mind. Sean Penn for I Am
Som. Will Smith tor \//. Den/el
Washington tor Inunins^ l)a\ and

Tom Wilkinson toi /// //u
Bedroom. Crowe seems unlikely to
win again this \ear, as he it>ok
home the same honor last veai.
Sean Penn eould walk away with it,
sinee mentally tiimbled charaeters
have always been an .'\cademy
favorite.
The ncxls to Denzel Washington
and Will Smith are refreshing, as
the Aeademy rarely recognizes
afriean-amencan players, but they
don't really deserve it tor either of
these films. Training Daw while it
was a highly entertaining film, and
Washington being the best part of
it, is not Oscar material. Ali was
hated by many critics, though
Smith's performance was champi-
i)ned by more than a few. Tom
Wilkinst)n is tixi unknown to really
have a chance.
Who will win: Denzel
Washington. One of Hollywood's
most underrated actors.
WashingU^n is due for this recogni-
tion But It sh(Hild have come from
his performance last vear in The
Hurneane. Who should win:
Gene Hackman for Ihe Royal
lennenhaum.s. Ht)llywood's finest
character aciov turns in one of his
most endearing performances vMth
this film. His portrayal i)f the patri-
arch ot an infanu)us family is pure
gold.

Spacek delisered one of her most
acclaimed performances ever, hut
again - //; The Bedroom wasn't high
prt)file enough to make her a lock.
Who will wm: This is a tough one
to pick, h seems to be the year of
Nicole Kidman, but I'm picking
Sissy Spacek to walk away with it.
The Academy loves a great come-
back tale. Who should win: Thora
Birch for Ghost World, who again
wasn't even nominated. Her char-
acter. Hnid IS a painfully accurate
l(Hik at teenage angst and doubt.
Watch toi even bigger and belter
things from Birch.
rhe choices for Best Supporting
Actor aie pretty solid, actually. Jim
Broadbent for Ins. Hthan Hawke
for Traitttfn^ Daw Ben Kingsly for
Sexy Beast. Ian McKellan for lj)rd
Of The Rini>s and Jon Voight for
.4//. Both Broadbent and Kingsly's
performances weren't seen enough
to be serious contenders, and
Voight seems like a sympathy vote.
Hawke continues the love of
Training Day. though his perfor-
mance was superb, and McKellan
elevated the acting level oi Lord Of
The Rings above the usual swords
'n' sorcery epics.
Who will win: Ian McKellan in a
walk. Though Und Of The Rings
will likely sweep the technical
awards, the .Academy will feel the
need to dole out more than that, and
this seems the obvious choice.
Who should win: I'll agree with
McKellan. though Steve Buscemi
was horribly snubbed. His perfor-
mance in Ghost World is a subtle,
nuanced masterpiece. The best
work of his illustrious career
Up for Best Supporting Actress
are Jennifer Connelly for A
Beautiful Mind. Helen Mirren for
Gosford Park. Maggie Smith for
Go.sfi>rd Park. .Marisa lomei for /;;
The Bedroom and Kale Wmslet tor

dark luirse to wm this, since
Mulholland Drive was an mdie hit,
and little more.
Who vmII win: The ^.U^n is wide
t)pen for Peter Jackson this year.
It's a tall order to crafl a film thai
blends action, fantasy and drama in
such a seamless package, but
Jackson overcaine all, and success-
fully translated a novel many said
couldn't ever be done justice. Who
should win: While it's hard to
Ignore Jackson's achievement, Wes
Anderson is the maverick choice
for The Royal Tennenhaunis. In
twenty years from now, we'll be
discussing this film the same way
we now talk about films from Ihen-
tledgling directors such as Kubrick
and Scorcese.
This year brings a new category
to the Awards, Best Animated Pilm.
For this first year, the nominations
are Jimmy Neutron: Bo\ Genius,
Monsters, Inc. and Shrek. It's crim-
inal that Richard Linkletier's
(director of Dazed And Confused)
film Wakmg Life was shut out of
this category.
Who will win: Shrek, which wc^n

As a man who's devoted his iife to the pursuit of knowledge, Dean Hashimoto wasn't going to
pick a retirement plan without first doing his homework. That's why he chose an IRA from us,
the people with over 80 years' experience managing portfolios for tfie world's sharpest minds.
After discovering that our IRAs offer a variety of investment choices and low expenses,
he decided to add one to his resume. A wise choice, by a very wise man.

Golden Eagles split home game duo: 69-53, 71-76
by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The Golden Eagle womens bas-
ketball team gained a 69-53 win
over Lock Haven on Saturday,
Feb. 9. Clarion defeated Lock
Haven on home territory and
upped their overall record to 11-
11, and 5-4 in the PSAC-West.
Lock Haven entered the game
8-12 overall and 2-5 PSAC-
West. Going into the competi-
tion. Lock Haven was tied for
sixth place in the PSAC-West.
During the last meeting
between the teams on Jan. 23,
2002, Clarion came out victori-
ous, winning 74- 66. During that
game. Heather Cigich led
Clarion with 18 points and 11
rebounds. Amy Daniels led Lock
Haven with 13 points, eight
rebounds while Tara Ballintine
added 15 points.
Clarion picked up the slack on
Feb. 9 after losing three in a row.
It was the second time this sea-
son that the Golden Eagles have
lost three straight. The first time
this season was from Dec. 2-Dec.
15. Although the Eagles were
coming off of a three-game los-
ing streak, the women worked
together to climb out of the
slump and tack another win to
their overall record.
The Eagles played the Edinboro
game without two of its top five
scorers (Heather Cigich &
Courtney Willman). It marked
the second time in the past three
games Clarion has been without
two key players. Tiffany Taylor
and Willman missed the
Shippensburg game. The 95
points scored by Edinboro were
the most Clarion has allowed
since West Chester scored 108 in
a 112-108 Eagle win in double
overtime Jan. 7, 2001.
Defense has been the key to
Clarion's victories. The Eagles
are allowing 61.5 points per
game in their 10 wins and 80.9
points per game in their 11 loss-
es. The win against Lock Haven
marked the 11th time this season

70 points in a game. It also
marked the fifth time this season
Clarion has allowed fewer than
60 points.
On Wednesday, Feb. 13,
Clarion faced Slippery Rock.
After coming off of their win
against Lock Haven, Clarion
looked to gain another victory.
After battling between the lead-
ing score with Slippery Rock,
Clarion ended five short with a
final score of 71-76.
Clarion entered the game 11-11
overall and 5-4 in the PSAC-
West. Slippery Rock was 12-10
overall and 5-4 PSAC-West.
Both teams were tied for third

U.S. skater claims gold: Keeps nation on podium
by Larry M cShane
Courtesy of the Olympic
Website
Officially, it's the XIX Winter
Games - which may be one X too
many.
Moguls skier Travis Mayer,
sailing down the bumpy course
on the last run of the day,
grabbed a silver medal Tuesday
in yet another of the X-Games
crossover sports that the
Americans have dominated at
the Salt Lake City Olympics -
six medals in all.
But just when it seemed that
the X-treme youngsters were
having all the fun, American
Casey FitzRandolph grabbed a
gold and teammate Kip
Carpenter a bronze in the 5(K)
meter speedskating.
FitzRandolph's close encounter
with a lane pylon caused a brief
scare, but couldn't keep him
from victory in his second
Olympics.
The U.S. team, through four
days of competition, has an
Olympics-high 9 medals: 3 gold,
4 silver, 2 bronze. The U.S.
snowboarders have captured
four medals, including a gold,
while Shannon Bahrke won a sil-
ver in the women's moguls.
"If you would have told me a
few months ago that I would
even make the Olympics, I
wouldn't have believed you," fel-
low moguls medalist Mayer said.
''It's something I never expect-
ed."
But it wasn't a good day for
defending U.S. gold medalists.
Mayer's teammate, Jonny
Moseley, wound up in fourth
place despite a scintillating run
that included a near-perfect
delivery of his gravity-challeng-
ing Dinner Roll.
''I thought it was a gold medal
run," Moseley said afterward.
And Picabo Street, in her last
Olympics, didn't come close to
becoming the first American
woman to win three Olympic
skiing medals. Street, who won
gold four years ago in the super
giant slalom, finished 16th in the
downhill - the event where she
took a silver in 1994.
Mayer, just 19, was so unsure
of his Olympic chances that he
told his family not to buy any
tickets. His performance would
have lifted them out of their
■■%;%#
seats anyway.
"To do so well at home is obvi-
ously more enjoyable," said
Mayer, of Steamboat Springs,
Colo., who enjoyed the rabid
U.S. fan support that has marked
the games.
The Americans have won at
least one medal per day, and are
just four short of their previous
Winter Games high of 13
medals. Trailing the Americans
on the medal board: Austria with
7(1 gold, 1 silver, 5 bronze),
along with Germany's 6 (2-3-1)
and Norway's 6 (3-3-0).

Golden Eagle hoopsters split two game road trip
by Steph DeFlorentis
Clarion Call Sports Assistant
The Clarion University mens basket-
ball team took a two game road trip to
face off against Lock Haven University
and the University of Pittsburgh at
Johnstown. The Golden Eagles were
looking for their third consecutive victo-
ry at Lock Haven on Feb. 9 after wins
against California and Edinboro.
The Golden Eagles entered the contest
with a record of 11-8 overall and 5-3 in
PSAC-West play. When the teams met
last. Clarion pulled off a huge home vic-
tory with a 70-46 win. This time, Lock
Haven, who is 7-14 overall and 3-4 in the
PSAC-West, was looking for revenge.
Lock Haven pulled the upset on home
territory with a down-to-the-last-second,
61-59 win over the Golden Eagles.
"We couldn't close the door on oppor-
tunities," said assistant coach Al
Modrelewski. "Some bad decisions were
made down the stretch and it didn't help
that the officiating was horrible."
Despite the tough loss, Rollie Smith
led the way in scoring for the Golden
EAgles with 19 points. He was followed
by Steve Serwatka and Allen Stevens,
both contributing 12 points each. David
Shearer led with rebounds posting 13.
The Golden Eagles only had two days
to regroup after the loss to LHU before
they faced UPJ on Feb. 11. The
University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown
came into the game 9-14 overall while
the Golden Eagles entered 11-9. Clarion
came back into action fired up and ready
to post a victory.
The Golden Eagles closed the first half
at UPJ's house with only a one-point
advantage, and what looked like another
down-to-the-wire game, turned into a 14-
run in the second half. The Golden
Eagles sealed their lead with this run
and came out victorious with a final
score of 68-57.
"It was very important to win at UPJ.
They're one of our biggest rivals and it
was great to get a quality win on the
road," said Modrelewski.
Clarion only had seven turnovers dur-
ing the entire game. They took advantage
of UPJ's six total turnovers, converting
most of the plays into scoring opportuni-
ties.
Steve Serwatka and Allen Stevens both
contributed 20 points each for the
Golden Eagles while Dale Thomas added
11 points. David Shearer led once again
in rebounds with nine.
Graham Hermaru\s/The Clarion Call
MemtDers of the Clarion mens baslcetbail team recently split a two game
road trip against Lock Haven and UPJ.
Clarion is now 12-9 overall and 5-4 in
the PSAC-West. The Golden Eagles are
back home on Saturday night at 8. p.m. as
they face PSAC-West rival, lUP. Clarion
will also honor their five senior players
during this game.
After these two games, David Shearer
is only seven points shy of becoming the
fifth player in school history to record
1,200 career points and 700 career
rebounds. He has 1,193 career points and
758 career rebounds. Shearer is currently
16th in school history in scoring and 7th
in rebounding.
Celica
The Inside Story
On the outside, it's easy to see that Celica is race-track
inspired. But the real excitement is on the inside. ..under the
hood. Take the Celica GT-S.. .Toyota worked with Yamaha to
build a 180 HP engine redlined at 7800 RPM.. .equipped it
with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence. ..a computer
that constantly monitors and retunes your engine for maxi-
mum performance. ..a cam with two sets of lobes to provide
two ranges of valve lift and duration for more usable horse-
power. There's direct ignition for greater reliability...
iridium-tipped spark plugs for reduced maintenance. ..a
stainless steel exhaust manifold. ..a water-cooled oil cooler.
And mated with Toyota's 4-speed electronically-controlled
automatic "Sportshift", you get transmission shift switches
on the steering wheel. ..just like Formula 1 race cars. Sweef.

Driving a new Toyota is easier than ever —
because now your Toyota dealer has a special college graduate
financing program available thru Toyota Financial Services
that offers a lot of great advantages.

Clarion brings in first place finishes at Pitt invite
by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Call Sports Editor
The Golden Eagle mens and
womens swimming and diving
teams competed in the University
of Pittsburgh's Invitational on
Saturday, Feb. 9 at Trees
Natatorium. Six total teams par-
ticipated in the unscored event to
obtain qualifying times for con-
ference and NCAA meets.
Clarion's divers started off the
competition, with two members
claiming individual victories.
Jessica Waldman claimed both the
one and three-meter boards, scor-
ing 218.75 and 208.05 respective-
ly. Shawn Colten took an overall
victory in the three-meter board,
scoring 267.00.
The Golden Eagle swimmers
were next in line to do battle and
claimed first place times in 10
overall events. Clarion opted not
to swim relays and focused on
individual events.
The first Golden Eagle to claim
a win was senior Gary
Auginbaugh, taking first in the
100 backstroke. He was followed
by junior Ben Chandlee claiming
first in the 100 breaststroke for
the mens team.
Junior Abby Koch brought
home the first individual win for
the Clarion women. Koch took an
impressive win in the 400 IM,
holding over an entire bodylength
lead for most of the race.
The next two first place wins
would come for the mens team.
Sophomore Beau Caldwell
claimed a landslide victory in the
400 IM, while junior Bill Wright
touched out all of his competitors
in the 100 freestyle event.
Junior Alyssa Helm would be
the next to take home a first for
the Clarion women. Helm won
the 200 backstroke by an eight-
second margin over the second
place time.

Indoor track and field
Track team travels back to Slippery Rock
by Erin Witner
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The Golden Eagle indoor track
and field teams headed back to
Slippery Rock on Saturday,
February 9. Like others, this meet
was open and non-scored. The
meet gave athletes the opportuni-
ty to improve performances in
preparation for the regularly
scored season.
Every week, coach Mooney and
his staff honor one member from
both the mens and womens
teams. These members have
shown drastic improvement, per-
formed well, and have worked
extra hard. The honor is awarded
in both the track and field events.
The honorary athletes for the
field events this week were Julia
Jackson and Mike McCullum.
Jackson had her best throw in the
shot put event with a distance of
39'0. McCullum, a newcomer to
the team, took home a first place
in the triple jump and a second
place in the long jump. His dis-
tance of 22' 1 .25 in the long jump
qualified him for the PSAC
Conference finals.
The honorary track members of
the week are Melissa Terwillinger
and Myron "Mickey" Hargon.
Although it was Hargon's first
meet, he placed second in the
55m dash. Terwillinger captured
a second place in the 800m and
third in the mile run. For being of
freshman status, Terwillinger is
having an excellent first season.
The main highlights of the
weekend came from the throwing
teams. Jen Klock returned for
another awesome meet, throwing
her best mark of 40'7." The
throwers had a total of four per-
sonal best records set. Brian
Johns and John Krol excelled for
the mens team, setting personal
records while Leah Fennell
gained a personal record in the

high jump. Fennell recorded a
height of 5'1," and qualified for
PSAC's.
Coach Mooney is very pleased
with the outcome of this meet.
"There was great improvement
from last week," commented
Moony. "We had some new edi-
tions, and everything is piecing
together really nice."
On Saturday, Feb. 16, the team
will travel to Kent State.
Although there will be more com-
petition, Mooney believes that the
teams will do even better than
their past performances.

Clarion University holds Scholar Athlete Luncheon
by Erin Witner
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The 2002 Clarion University Scholar
Athlete Luncheon was held at Chandler
Dining Hall on Friday February 8.
A fact some people may not know is;
Clarion is the number one school in the
PSAC conference for scholar-athletes.
Clarion have roughly 325 students that
participate in athletics. Out of all the ath-
letes 35% of them are scholar-athletes.
Over the past twelve years the number of
scholar athletes has been growing rapidly.
In 1991 we started out with 47 "schol-
ar-athletes", and in 2002 we have 117.
This is including the addition of the
Women's soccer team in 2001. There are
a few qualifications you must meet
before being considered a "Scholar
Athlete".
A student-athlete must achieve a cumu-
lative GPA of 3.20 or higher, or have had
two consecutive semesters of a 3.20 GPA
in the spring and fall semesters of 2001.
Freshman and transfer students are eligi-
ble also. They must achieve the same
3.20 GPA or higher in the fall semester of
2001.
The buffet style lunch featured many
different entrees. Main courses included:
Manicotti, Chicken, and Fish, with side
dishes consisting of white rice and
steamed vegetables and concluded with
assorted desserts.
Dr. Islei Krauss, Faculty Athletic
Representative opened the ceremony with
the introduction of guests. Various
coaches, professors. Deans, and Vice
Presidents were in attendance as well as
the athletes. This was Dr. Krauss's last
year as the Faculty Athletic
Representative.
"She did a good job helping the stu-
dents," commented Christina Tilloston,
acting Assistant Athletic Director, "Dr.
Krauss brought humor to the banquet."
Harry Tripp, V.P. of Student Affairs
delivered the opening remarks, which
was followed by the introduction of ath-
letes. During this part of the ceremony,
the 117 athletes were introduced and rec-
ognized on stage.
Each athlete was allotted to bring one
professor who he/she feels has inspired
him/her or feels they have achieved
something because of the professor. The
athletes were each permitted to say few
words and were given a framed certifi-
cate in honor of their academic achieve-
ment.
This year. Clarion's track team had the
highest showing of athletes with the
proper qualifications at the luncheon,
with a total of 31 members honored.
Coach Mooney and his staff are very
proud of the academic achievements of
the team.

Athletic Director also commented, "After

Chancellor, Judy G. Hample,
meets with the House and
Senate in Harrisburg on Feb.
25 and 26.
Gov. Mark Schweiker's pro-
posed $439.2 million plan
would most likely cause
schools to revise their budget
and could mean the loss of
monies that go toward funding
extracurricular and other stu-
dent activities.
"While we understand the
condition of Pennsylvania's
economy and the difficult
choices the governer has had
to make in developing this
budget proposal, we will con-
tinue to pursue the additional
funding we believe is neces-
sary in order for our universi-
ties to be able to offer the
high-quality, affordable edu-
cation our students have come
to expect and deserve," said
"It is very unlikely,"
Marshall said.
"It's very probable to be
more than the initial four per-
cent proposed, but we're
going to keep working to keep
the tuition level down. We will
continue to work with the gov-
ernor and state legislature to
get the state money
increased."
A raise in tuition is not new
to the students of the SSHE.
The most recent tuition stand-
still was the 1998-99 fiscal
year.
Last year's plan included a
$452.8 million grant from the
state that still needed to be
complemented by a seven to
eight percent raise in tuition
($350 per year).
There is usually a four to
four and half percent tuition
increase every year.

Travis Dock. 20, had a prelim-
inary hearing Feb. 5 for allegedly
possessing a pistol outside the
Sigma Tau Gamma house, Jan.

District Justice. Anthony

in which Dock waived his case

into court. According to Lapinto,
because Dock waived his ca.se
into court, he will attend two
criminal conferences. During the
second criminal conference.
Dock could plead to the case or
go to trial.
Dock was a Clarion University
football player until the incident
took place. According to Bob
Carlson. .Mhletic Director, Dock
has been removed from
the football team and his
scholarship has been
revoked. Carlson also
said that Dock is no
longer enrolled at
Clarion University.
InterFraternity Council
President Henry "Hank"
Crawford said, "Until the investi-
gation is complete, we won't
bring any charges against them."
Sigma Tau Gamma is on IFC
probation for a Liquor Control
Board (LCB) raid that took place
last semester. The IFC probation
required Sigma Tau Gamma to
submit a written report which
outlined the steps the fraternity
has taken to improve its situation.
The chapter members also had
to attend the Sigma Chi spon-
sored LCB guest speaker. Jan.
23. 2002.
Members of Sigma Tau Gamnia
also must complete 60 hours of
community service and a TIPS
Training Session (Training for
Intervention Procedures) by May
3. 2002.
"The LCB hasn't filed charges
yet," said Ron Wilshire, of
U'niversily Relations, therefore,
no charges have been filed with
the University Conduct Board.
No charges have been filed
with the University Conduct
Board for this semester's inci-
dent either, said Wilshire.
However, the fraternit\ is still
on probation for an incident
which took place in Mar. 1999.
The University Conduct Board
put them on probation in
September 2000.
Under the (^)nduct Board \
probation, the fraternity had to
submit a written plan to improve
their culture. Also during the pro-
bationary period, additional vio-
lations would result in the loss of
university recognition.

Sigma Tau Gamma President
Jonathan Hakin by phone but was
unavailable for comment.

A three percent budget cut
has been proposed by the gov-
erners spending plan.
Pennsylvania State System
of Higher Education
Chancellor. Judy G. Hample,
meets with the House and
Senate in Harrisburg on Feb.
25 and 26.
Gov. Mark Schweiker's pro-
posed $439.2 million plan
would most likely cause
schools to revise their budget
and could mean the loss of
monies that go toward funding
extracurricular and other stu-
dent activities.
"While we understand the
condition of Pennsylvania's
econonn and the difficult
choices the go\erner has had
to make in developing this
budget proposal. \vc uill con-
tinue to pursue the additional
funding \\e believe is neces-
sarv in order for our universi-
ties to be able to offer the
high-qualii>. affordable edu-
cation our students ha\e come
to expect and (.leser\e.'" said
Board of Governors
Chairman, Charles A.
Gomulka.
Kenn Marshall, SSHE press
secretary, said the SSHE are
asking for $477.7 million in
hopes that tuition would only
raise by four percent.
"It is very unlikely,"
Marshall said.
"It's very probable to be
more than the initial four per-
cent proposed, but we're
going to keep working to keep
the tuition level down. We will
continue to work with the gov-
ernor and state legislature to
get the state money
increased."
A raise in tuition is not new
to the students of the SSHE.
The most recent tuition stand-
still was the 1998-99 fiscal
year.
Last year's plan included a
S4,52.S million grant from the
state that still needed to be
complemented by a seven to
eight percent raise in tuition
(S350 per year).
There is usually a four to
four and half pcr.en; tuition
increase everv vear.

The Olympics
It has been an exciting start to
the Olympics. The United States
is taking charge on home territo-
ry and kicking some Olympic
butt. There was also the contro-
versy with the Canadian figure
skating duo.
If you ask us, the Winter
Olympics 2002 are off to a great
start.
The controversy with the
Canadian duo was a story that
captured the attention of millions
through out the world. It espe-
cially captured the attention of
the staff at Tit. CfannCiff.
We thought that it was a great
show of sportsmanship that the
Canadian Figure Skaters wanted
the Russian pair to keep the gold
medal because they felt that they
had earned it. We feel that the
Canadian team was just thrilled
to also win.
The Russians wanted to make
sure that they did take it back
home because the Canadian team
was the favorite.
Even though Russia did have a
little influence from behind the
scene, they did end up with a
medal, but in our eyes, the
Canadian's are the true winners.
Another point that was brought
to our attention was, how can the
judges judge on artistic impres-
sion? Even though there are cer-
tain Olympic rules and guild-
lines, everyone has a different
opinion on artistic impression.
We think that there should be a
different category of judging so
that the judging can be more fair.
At least if there was a different
category, or a category that
everyone would have the same
basic opinion about it would be
better in our eyes.
We are even becoming fond of
rare Olympic sports such as
Skeleton. And we think the
Jamaican bobsled team is full of
"cool runnings."
Even though the Olympics are
coming to an end this Sunday, we
have all enjoyed watching them
and watching the participants
from the United States make us
proud.

Your Views
open letter to CUP campus
Dear Editor,
I've been here for a while —
four (sometimes very long)
years — and as such feel the
obligation to share most seniors'
belief that they somehow are the
enlightened elite when it comes
to things collegiate. So from this
place of feigned omnipotence, I
have the following things to say.
First to teachers, especially
those in higher-level major
courses: I fail to see how you can
"understand you guys' work-
load" in weeks immediately pre-
ceding a break. If you "unde-
stand" just how your evil coun-
terparts have dumped
tests, homework, papers, and
projects on us WHY DO YOU
DO IT TOO?
Seems to me "understand"
must equate to "want to jump on
the bandwagon" in teachers-
peak. Now, I understand why
you do it: if there are no tests
before the break, no typical beer-
soaked half wit student can pos-
sibly remember what happened
in class after a break.
Knowledge, it's been shown, is
water-soluble: college kids come
out of the restrooms just a wee
bit stupider. So let's work more
together: we'll do our best to
retain your lectures if you do
your best to utilize all the weeks
before and immediately after any
break longer than a weekend.
And one last thing on this assess-
ment nightmare- if you ask a
class of upperclassmen some-
thing that's similar to a test ques-
tion and are greeted with blank
stares and open mouths, it's a
good indicator that a test might
not be prudent at that time.
Thank you.
Now to the student body. The
four years I've been here have
illustrated that Clarion's number
one spectator sport is not basket-
ball, football, baseball, rugby, or
football. It's bitching.
We Golden Eagles have taken
the act of complaining to new
levels — I mean, look at this let-
ter!
I claim no higher intellect than
what four years of "the system"
have taught me here, and I don't
really even claim to be any kind
of expert on that. But my simple
math shows me that there's a rel-
atively uneven distribution of
students to the number of teach-
ers on campus.
Now, instead of whining to
your cronies or classmates about
"Dude, this is so stupid" or "I
hate this class," take matters into
your own hands. Challenge your
teachers — question EVERY-
THING they tell you (and not
just for simple clarification).
There's a lot more of us going
into debt than there are of them
getting paid, so let's make this
place a true institute of learning.
This questioning and challeng-
ing doesn't stop in the class-
room. I challenge you all to take
any organization with the words
"Campus," "University,"
"Public," or "Student" to task.
Make sure that the constituen-
cy they claim to represent is
being represented.
UAB makes a crap call for
spring concert? Fight it! You
think Tit Caff sucks? Write your
own pieces for them — or better
yet, get your buddies together
and make your own newspaper.
Tired of seeing clubs you
would like to be a part of deleted
from Student Senate's agenda?
Demand justification! Just
because the name of a group
implies that they're speaking for
you, don't believe it for a sec-
ond.
Once you start demanding
more bang for your buck, you'll
have no reason at all to claim
"This place is so boring."
And to all those people in the
organizations I just mentioned, I
really don't want to hear the
same tired excuse of "Well, we
tried that and nobody did any-
thing." Obviously, you didn't try
hard enough.
My manifesto-ing is finished
for now. I welcome all hate/love
mail you want to fire at me to
planeswalker_2@hotmail.com.
Replying is up to me, so make it
worth my time to read an email
of "yeah dude, preach on" or "u r
such a jerk" will promptly be
deleted. Thanks for your time.
Faithfully Submitted,

Has anyone else
noticed that the break
schedule during the
spring semester at
Clarion University
doesn 't quite match the
rest of the world? §9
-Mike Metz
Has anyone else noticed that
the break schedule during the
spring semester at Clarion
University doesn't quite match
the rest of the college world?
While students from most
other schools are visiting places
like Daytona Beach, Fl, Panama
City Beach, Fl, and Cancun,
Mexico we're here in class?
Now sure, we have this "win-
ter break" from February 22
through March 6, but that's a lit-
tle bit early. MTV won't be par-
tying in Cancun until about
March 21 (the first day of
spring!).
And of course we do have
"spring vacation" from March
28 through April 2, but that's not
exactly an opportunity to hit the
beach. It's a long weekend that
occurs over Easter Sunday when
most of our families want us to
be at home, not in Mexico!
Other schools like Ohio State
start their spring break on Mar.
22 and it continues through the
Easter holiday.
For an added bonus, have you
noticed the spring break posters
all over campus? They offer all
kinds of great deals on trips to
many places. Unfortunately the
dates of these trips don't coin-
cide with our break.
The one thing these companies
don't offer is to have someone
attend your classes for you. So
what do we do? What can we
do?
One possible solution would be
to eliminate what we call winter
break and extend spring vacation
to allow for an actual"vacation.
Partying and spring break have
always been a part of college
life, today trips to sandy beaches
and parties like on Animal
House are becoming extinct.
Besides, do you realize what
would happen if we hauled in
eight tons of sand and about 250
kegs of beer into Tippin Gym?
Don't get the wrong idea-we're
not the only school facing this
problem. But as the college pop-
ulation of the new millennium
we have a duty before us.
As the Beastie Boys put it,
"You gotta fight, for your right,
to party!"

My favorite show
growing up was the
Dukes ofHazzard . 99
-Adam Earnheardt
/>ee Pf*^^^ Adam Cof^nk^^^G^dt
opo/^-te and imooenoe
li
My favorite show growing up
was the "Dukes of Hazzard."
There was something about that
show that made me want to jump
in and out of mom's Pontiac 6000
station wagon via the window. My
mother didn't find this as amusing
as I did.
I lived for Bo, Luke, Jesse, Boss
Hog, Rosco, Cooter, and Daisy (I
think every young man who
watched the Dukes lived for
Daisy). And of course, that 1969
Dodge Charger, the General Lee,
was my favorite character. That
bright shade of orange, the confed-
erate flag (it wasn't until some
years later that I realized the con-
federate flag wasn't so cool), and
the magical number "01" brought
me great joy.
At age 12, during the height of the
show's popularity, I joined the sev-
enth grade basketball team. I was
6'1" and towered over my team-
mates. When the day came for the
coach to hand out uniforms, I was
out of luck. Unfortunately, there
wasn't a uniform to fit a gigantic
seventh grader.
But, Coach Ronson promised to
order a special uniform, just for
me. He promised a new uniform
would be ready for me by the start
of the season. All I needed to do
was to select a jersey number and
jot it down on his order sheet.
Of course, there was only one
number for me, the most glorious
number combination known to
mankind. My hands began to
sweat as I penciled in those two
wonderful digits; "01".
For weeks after, all I could do
was think about my new, cool jer-
sey with that magnificent number.
I told my friends. Being fellow
"Hazzard" fans, they were all quite

jealous and impressed.
A week before the first game.
Coach Ronson called me into his
office and handed me my new
uniform. 1 was grinning from ear-
to-ear. I ripped open the paper
package. Something was terribly
wrong.
Much to my chagrin, someone
printed the wrong number on my
new jersey. When I mentioned the
mistake to Coach Ronson he
seemed just as puzzled. He tried
to console me, but I'm not sure he
understood my disappointment. I
was stuck with the less-than
favorable, number "1". It just
wasn't as cool without the "0".
Gone are the days of seventh
grade basketball. Yes, I miss my
thin legs. I miss my full head of
hair. I miss my flat stomach. But
more than those physical attribut-
es, I miss the innocence. I miss
the feeling of making my first lay-
up. I miss the feeling of winning
the first game of the season. I miss
my teammates.
Seventh grade basketball was a
fun time for me. I didn't know
much about basketball back then.
The NBA was just another ath-
letic acronym. Names like Dr. J
and Kareem Abdul Jabbar sound-
ed familiar, but I never saw them
play. Back then basketball was
simple, fun to play, and gave me
time to hang out with friends.
Back then my biggest concern
was having the wrong number
printed on my uniform.

television and did the usual chan-

"To go home and make

tied on the Olympics. My night
consisted of watching these ama-
teur sports. But these were no
amateur athletes. Even though
there were no multi-million dollar
contracts or big name celebrities,
these games were filled with com-
petition and honor. There were
athletes who simply skated to
skate, who skied to ski, and by
doing so, many of these athletes
were living their dreams.
In the Olympics, we get the
opportunity to see our profession-
al athletes, well-paid superstars,
who make the two-week jump
from their professional teams for
love of country and love of sport.
Many of these super athletes join
their Olympic teams to remember
the innocence of their youth and
to revive the purity of the sport.
For two weeks during the
Olympics young people are intro-
duced to unknown athletes who
are the best at what they do.
Across the world, young athletes
skate off the ice, hang up their
skates, and tune in to the stories of
their heroes.
Across the continents, young
competitors leave the slopes and
rack their skis to read about the
medal winners from their coun-
tries. These children go to bed
each night with the dreams of one
day standing on that medal stand,
while the flag of their country
flies high above and their national
anthem rings in the ears of the
world.
Many of the athletes I watched
Sunday night probably trained
their entire lives for one shot, one
downhill run, one skate, one
chance at a medal. As I watched, I
wondered if I would hear their
names again. I wondered if I
would read their stories the next
day. 1 wondered how many chil-
dren around the world were
watching or listening, right now,
as their favorite athlete competed.
1 wondered about all the young
speedskaters. Are they training
right now? Or are they watching
their hero win the gold medal and
set a world record? I wondered
about all the kids on snowboards.
Are they on the slopes right now?
Or, are reading about the snow-
boarders who swept the medals in
the halfpipes?
Olympic names and stories will
go down in history. There are
always new opportunities, new
races and games, new names to be
immortalized. Young athletes pre-
pare to earn their spots in history,
while veterans give farewell per-
formances that inspire the world.
Olympic fame may not be the
same as fame enjoyed by Michael
Jordan or Mario Lemieux, but in a
way, to me it's better — it's pure.
Olympic athletes are granted a
moment in time, not the careers
offered to professional athletes in
the NBA or NHL. They are given
one chance to reach the zenith of
their sport, and even those who do
not win medals, win respect.
Respect from their country,
respect from their fellow athletes,
and respect from the next genera-
tion of competitors.
Olympians give back to their
fans by protecting the purity of
the sports in which they compete.
Sports give children a chance to
play with each other, a chance to
experience a new game, and a
chance to learn. Sports allow chil-
dren to understand that it's okay
to lose, and that winning feels
good. Sports are about fun and
accomplishment.
Most of the world will never
compete in professional sports or
in the Olympic games, but many
people can remember back to the
days when their friends called
them out to play ball. Many peo-
ple can remember the days when
their biggest decision was decid-
ing what number to wear on their
jersey.
It is this sporting virtue that dri-
ves athletes to compete, that
makes children admire the heroes
of the games love, and that makes
the world long for the pure and
wholesome athlete; the athlete
who remembers the innocence.

Reader responds to Emerick letter and other issues
Dear Editor,
For the first time ever, I got a
spark of hope from an article that
was printed in TU Cuff last week.
Kenneth Emerick, I have you to
thank for this, and I will say it
now: THANK YOU! THANK
YOU! THANK YOU!
I was also in the crowd of Coach
Herman Boone, and thought to
myself, I wish that people would
be able to relate Martin Luther
King Jr.'s non- violent opposition
to the recent events of bombing
and "collateral damage" (and I am
not referring to the movie with
Arnold Schwarzenegger) that the
United States is engaging in, and
is still not declared an official
war, but is still an "operation."
Although I would have loved to
read the entire article, as TU Caff
seemed to have missed the mid-
dle, I relished every word of Mr.
Emerick's. I am happy to see
Howard Zinn's name made it into
our school newspaper, in hopes
that students will pick up some of
his writing and educate them-
selves through his profoundly
intelligent work.
Also naming The Progressive .
For the first time
ever, I got a spark of
hope from an article
that was printed in TU
CJ^last week. 99
-Heidi Niebauer
The Nation , and The War
Resisters Leag ue will hopefully
pick up more online readers. We
need to question the actions of our
media and the government, since
we as a nation fully back our pres-
ident in this time of military
strikes, and doing more to harm
the American citizen through the
revoking of civil liberties and
freedoms through Mr. Tom
Ridge's national security plans.
I liked it better when Big Brother
was hiding and people were afraid
of him. I didn't mind people trust-
ing our government, though it
was something that should be
questioned, as all authority fig-
ures, so they do not get out of
control.
Now people don't realize the
power of the being we used to call
Big Brother (again, not the CBS
reality show), and now we call
our government and security.
Now American citizens are
behind this leader, but the
Congress has passed a new law
that does not give our president
power over our current national
panic, so we are not supporting
the war by supporting the
President either.
People used to be skeptical of
the media; and now I have this
awful feeling of betrayal from the
people who used to think for
themselves- fear of the 87 percent
of our population who doesn't
seem to mind the idea of giving
the government complete control
over our lives in the name of
security.
Knowing what our government
does, and how it handles other
countries in Operation Enduring
Freedom is indeed very impor-
tant, and the consequences of the
security that our leaders are cur-
rently pondering are as important
to us as the slaughtering of inno-
cents.

Response to Siddiqui's opinion article
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to
Professor Siddiqui's article,
"Who is Allah?", on page four of
the February 14 editon of TU
Ciarion Caff. This was itself a
response to a letter written on
January 31 by Joseph Vallely.
Professor Siddiqui rightly cri-
tiques Vallely's letter when he
argues that Allah in Islam cannot
be identified with Baal, the
Canaanite and Phoenician divini-
ty against which the prophet
Elijah exercised his prophetic
mission (1 Kings: 18).
My concern, however, is that
Professor Siddiqui refers to
Vallely as, alternately, "(Father)",
and 'a seminarian'. He could not
in fact be both, but my reading of
Vallely's letter is that he is nei-
ther.
My concern is that Cfar/e/t Caff
readers might incorrectly identify
Vallely as someone who repre-
sents the Catholic church when
he does not. I understood Vallely
to have identified himself as a
My concern is that

former seminarian, hence neither
a seminarian nor a priest.
I would, moreover, like to clari-
fy what the Catholic Church does
teach concerning Islam. I quote
here from the highest level of
teaching authority, the Second
Vatican Council. In the decree
Nostra Aetate, the Church clearly
states its desire for positive rela-
tions with the followers of Islam:
"The Church has. ..a high regard
for the Muslims. They worship
God, who is one, living and sub-
sistent, merciful and almighty.
The Creator of heaven and
Earth. .They strive to submit
themselves without reserve to
the.. .decrees of God, just as
Abraham submitted himself to
God's plan, to whose faith
Muslims eagerly link their own.
Although not acknowledging him
as God, they venerate Jesus as a
prophet, his virgin Mother they
also honor, and even at times
devoutly invoke. Further, they
await the day of judgement and
the reward of God following the
resurrection of the dead. For this
reason they highly esteem an
upright life and worship God,
especially by way of prayer,
alms-deeds and fasting. Over the
centuries many quarrels and dis-
sensions have arisen between
Christians and Muslims. The
sacred Council now pleads with
all to forget the past, and urges
that a sincere effort be made to
achieve mutual understanding;
for the benefit of all. ..let them
together preserve and promote
peace, liberty, social justice and
moral values."

our liberties and first amendment
rights as American citizens. It
also gives a broader definition to
the word "terrorist" that can be
used against protesters and
demonstrators. This law is cur-
rently being used as a charge
against John Walker Lindh for
"Conspiracy to kill Americans."
This, for anyone who is not famil-
iar, is a new charge that came into
existence on that fateful day of
Oct. 26.
The document was admittedly
rushed through Congress, and
passed so quickly that many con-
gressmen had no chance to read
its 122 pages. This document, that
can be found easily online, in
Adobe format, is a truly frighten-
ing document. When I read it, I
thought I was warped into 1984
(by George Orwell, glorious
author of the book that is coming
true).
Okay, now that I have thorough-
ly sounded like a Doomsday
preacher (for some more of that,
check out Jack van Impe on
Cornerstone Television), I would
like to say one more thing, and
then give some comments to the
letters that have been posted in
the last few issues of TU Caff
Last thing (I promise). I am
involved with a group we have
lovingly called the Clarion
Alliance for a Just Society
(CAJS). We are very interested in
doing things to help change injus-
tices in the world and our local
area. We talk about political, eco-
nomic, and social problems that
need addressed. We like to have
controversial readings that we can
discuss on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.
at Michelle's Cafe.
I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to invite interested and
like-minded people to attend.
This is not a meeting of only col-
lege students as we have hopes
that community members of all
ages, who share our urgency to
make people aware of problems
as they are occurring, will attend.
We have plans to get out a liter-
ary magazine for these topics, and
also hope to do a film festival
about these types of issues. If you
are interested in what we are
doing and planning, or have other
ideas for us to explore in terms of
awareness, please attend.
Also a little disclaimer: anything
I have said in this article is my

point of view, not necessarily the
views of the aforementioned
group.
While I have the floor, I would
also like to comment on some
issues that have been in the paper
recently. My thanks to Dr.
Dilnawaz A. Siddiqui for his
views on the religion issue that
Father Joseph E. Vallely con-
tributed in the 7th of February
issue. I furrowed my brows at the
Father's explanation, but I admit-
tedly didn't know how to
respond. I'm happy that you have.
Dr. Siddiqui, thank you.
Also, I think that as patriotic and
supportive the Issue of the Year is
(the sending of non-perishable
items to soldiers), and I think that
there should also be a donation
box geared toward the dying
civilian populations of the places
we are bombing who are not so
slowly becoming "collateral dam-
age."
Concerning the Communication
Department, I also didn't particu-
larly like it as an undergrad pro-
gram, but I also had some very
good professors during my time
in the department.
I was led to believe something
different about the department,
and I have switched because of
my disappointment, but I am not
going to say I haven't had chal-
lenging professors. My thanks to
Dr. Scott Kuehn, Dr. Susan
Hilton, Ms. Mary Wilson as well
as Dr. Art Barlow, as those are
professors I was privileged to
have teach me and help me during
my year in the department, and to
this day.
Thank you for finishing my let-
ter and indulging me in print, and
reading so diligently through the
preaching and banter. Please look
at the sites that both Mr. Emerick
and I have mentioned. If nothing
else, it's a good procrastination
technique, eh?

Clarion graduates successful in finding employment
by Jarah Heeter
A survey conducted by Clarion
University's Office of Career
Services shows that 1999-2000
graduates were successful in
finding post-graduate employ-
ment.
Ninety-seven percent of the
December 1999, May 2000, and
Summer 2000 graduates who
responded to the survey were
placed into categories of either
employment or further educa
tion. This percentage dropped
only slightly from 98 percent in
the 1998-1999 survey.
Of the 1 , 1 5 1 graduates, 42 per-
cent or 484 responded to the
written survey. The survey's cat-
egories included: employed,
either full-time or part-time, in
preferred career fields;
employed either full-time or
part-time in other fields; and
continuing education.
The responses were as follows:
79 percent were employed full-
time; 7 percent were employed
part-time; 11 percent were fur-
thering their education; 2 per-
cent were still seeking employ-
ment; .2 percent were serving in
the military; and .2 percent were
not employed and not seeking
employment. Seventy-four per-
cent of the respondents were
employed either full-time or
part-time in their preferred
career fields.
The survey included a salary
question to which 370 of the
respondents employed full-time
responded to. Sixty-three and a
half percent reported salaries
ranging between $20,000 and
$34,999, while 21.8 percent
ranged from $35,000 to over
$50,000.
Of the 412 full or part-time
employed graduates, 71 percent
were employed in Pennsylvania.
Maryland employed the second
highest number of 1999-2000
graduates, with Virginia, Ohio,
and North Carolina tying for
third.
Ten percent of the respondents
reported seeking graduate or
professional school programs
after graduating from Clarion.
Concerning the College of
Graduate Studies, 85 of 176
graduates responded to the sur-
vey with almost 99 percent in
the categories of either employ-
ment or further education.
Eighty-five percent were
employed full-time in their pre-
ferred career.
The Department of Career
Meningitis becomes growing concern
by Amy Ujazdowski
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Recently, meningitis has
been a growing concern in
the Western Pennsylvania
area, especially after the
death of a Slippery Rock
high school student.
Meningitis can be diag-
nosed as either a viral or
bacterial disease. Viral
meningitis is mild compared
to the Bacterial, and is not
considered life threatening.
In most cases, people recov-
er on their own.
On the other hand, bacter-
ial meningitis is rare, but a
highly fatal infection. Many
times, the disease is very
similar to the flu with symp-
toms including fever, vomit-
ing, severe headache, and
nausea. The key symptom is
a stiff and painful neck in
the spinal area. People with
the disease can not touch
chin to chest without a great
deal of pain.
The bacterial disease is on
the rise among freshman
students living in resident
halls. The disease is spread
through close contact and
droplets of respiratory
secretions in the air. A
cough or sneeze, sharing a
drinking glass, sharing a
cigarette, or a kiss can all
pass the menigococcal bac-
teria.
About 100 to 125 cases of
the menigococcal disease
occur on campuses annually.
The disease's progression is
rapid and, in some cases,
turns fatal in hours.
The last reported case at
Clarion University was
about five years ago, and the
person is doing fine today.
However, without an
Infection Control Specialist
in the area, all cases are
deemed bacterial until tests
results show otherwise.
"We strongly encourage
the meningitis vaccination,"
said Susan Bornak, director
of Keeling Health Center.
She also said 300-400 fresh-
man students were vaccinat-
ed upon arrival here at
Clarion University this year.
The most predominate
time for this disease is later
winter into early spring.
Students need to stay aware
about the disease.
According to Bornak, eat-
ing right, sleeping enough,
and not sharing things are a
few easy steps every student
can practice for prevention.
Finally, the meningitis
vaccination is strongly rec-
ommended for all college-
aged students. The vaccina-
tion is available at the
Keeling Health Center and
costs $80. The cost is bill-
able to student accounts,
leaving students to worry
about one less illness.

Services has conducted the sur-
vey for the past 14 years. Connie
Laughlin, director of Career
Services, feels the survey results
are a valuable tool for current
and potential Clarion University
students.
"I believe it is helpful for stu-
dents to know that all depart-
ment chairs receive the full
results of the survey and that
these results would be useful to
students as they take a look at
career options," Laughlin said,
"The survey shows the kinds of
employers that are hiring
Clarion graduates and the
salaries the graduates are receiv-
ing."
The survey allows Career
Services to provide students'
advisors with valuable informa-
tion to help guide their advisees
in future planning. The survey
results are also received by the
Clarion University Council of
Trustees, the administration, and
the admissions office.
Career Services offers many
services besides the survey to
aid students in setting post grad-
uation goals including: a resume
search service for employers,
on-line job listings, class pre-
sentations, on-campus inter-
views, mock interviews, resume
clinics, a career library, the

tion, and individual assistance.

Initial "Clarion Proud Award" presented to Heeter
Contributed by
University Relations
Bobbi Heeter, executive asso-
ciate in the office of the Provost
at Clarion University of
Pennsylvania, is the first recipi-
ent of the "Clarion Proud
Award." The award recognizes
employees who go above and
beyond to make Clarion
University a better place for stu-
dents.
The award was presented by
Clarion University President,
Diane Reinhard, and consisted
of a plaque and thanks from the
President for a job well done.
"I am thrilled and very
touched," said Heeter about the
recognition, which she received
appropriately during her last
day of employment with Clarion
University. Heeter is retiring
after 28 years at Clarion
University and over 32 years of
work.
Heeter grew up in Clarion and
graduated from Clarion-
Limestone High School and the
DuBois Business College. She
had a job with the Bureau of
Vocational Rehabilitation in
DuBois before she graduated
and stayed in the position for
four years.
"I wanted to come back to
Clarion," said Heeter about her
homecoming in January 1973.

Matthew Marder, vice president
for finance. When that office
was combined with the office of
the vice president for adminis-
tration, Heeter joined the regis-
trar's office.
"That was the best training I
received for what I would do
working in the provost's
office," said Heeter. "I learned
about drop/add, credit/no
record, and other academic pro-
cedures I would use in the
future."
Heeter moved to the Office of
the Provost in 1985. Over the
past 17 years she worked for Dr.
Robert Edington, interim
provost Dr. Helen Lepke-
Tichnor, the late Dr. John Kuhn,
and currently for Dr. Joseph
Grunenwald.
"The most challenging part of
my job was working on the
undergraduate catalog," said
Heeter. "I typed all the new cur-
riculum and course changes for
the university."
She worked on 12 of these cat-
alogs, five after it was switched
to a two-year schedule.
"The biggest change for me
was keeping track of person-
nel," said Heeter. "Beginning
early in the 1990s, each division
was responsible for their own
personnel."
Heeter plans to remain in the
Clarion area during retirement.
"I want to be involved in more
community activities, and 1 may
do some traveling," Heeter said.
She does a lot of craft work
including afghans and needle
work.
Heeter's parents, Katherine
and Arnold Ferringer, live in
Clarion. She has a sister Kaye
Miller and husband, Don, who
live in Fulton, N.Y.

Researching in London and Scotland
by Angela Bautista
Clarion Call Stoff Writer
Andrew Keth, assistant profes-
sor of biology at Clarion
University of Pennsylvania will
be traveling over the winter break.
Keth will be going to London
and Scotland to complete an
extensive research project. During
his seven day stay, he will be
going to the British Museum of
Natural History in London and the
National Museums of Scotland,
Edinburgh.
The entire trip is part of his com-
pletion of his dissertation to com-
plete his Ph.D.
Keth said, "In order to begin
research, you must go back to the
original foundation. You can't talk
about the new until you look at
the old."
In order to complete his disser-
tation, which IS five years in
progress, he had to borrow speci-
mens from the museums to study
more carefully. Normally Keth
would have borrowed the speci-
mens by using the mail, but the
museums became concerned
when the U.S. had their anthrax
scare.
One way to borrow specimens
from museums is to e-mail the
museum stating what you need to
look at and borrow the specimens.
Often times students are not
allowed to do this on their own.
An advisor or professor can do it
for them. Depending on the spec-
imen, one can borrow it for sever-
al years if allowed.
Museums like when people bor-
row their specimens because, "it
is good to have an expert look at
everything and validate the infor-
mation," Keth said.
Keth began this study of insects
including caddis flies when he
was a graduate student at Clarion
University. He was studying
under Dr. Steven Harris, professor
of biology. After completing his
graduate work, he moved on to
Penn State to work toward his
Ph.D..
From there, he found a good
advisor. His Ph.D. is in entomolo-
gy of aquatic insects. Through
this program, he has worked with
the FBI and police forces.
Because Keth is enrolled at
Penn State for his Ph.D., his advi-
sor helped fund his research pro-
ject through grants from the
Entomology Department at Penn
State.
One of his main reasons for vis-
iting Scotland is to look for future
sites for research of the caddis
flies.
Keth said, "they (caddis flies)
are something that is ignored by
people many times. They look at
them and toss them aside."
The actual size of a caddis fly is
around the same size as a gnat.
In addition to the caddis flies,
Keth will be focusing on the
micro caddis fly, which is about 3
mm in size. He chose the Scotland
area because it is a place that
interests him in addition to having
the perfect conditions for study-
ing caddis flies.
When working on his future
research project, Keth would like
to have students assisting him.
Hopefully through grants, Keth
can raise enough money to begin
this project.
"It won't be right away. It will
take time to get the funds.
Hopefully we can begin in a year
or so," Keth said.

fessor of biology will be trav-

The Pennsylvania Small
Business Department Centers,
also known as SBDC, will be
proposing an expanded package
of business management assis-
tance services after responding to
serious challenges facing the sur-
vival and growth of small busi-
ness in northwest and north cen-
tral Pennsylvania.
The proposed package will pro-
vide training, targeted high-qual-
ity counseling and information to
small firms struggling with the
recession in our area.
It will also provide for dislo-
cated workers who are interested
in becoming entrepreneurs, firms
that are developing new tech-
nologies, and to small companies
looking for opportunities to both
grow and expand.
The services for the proposed
package will be offered through-
out many counties in the
Pennsylvania area. These include
Armstrong, Cameron, Clarion,
Clearfield, Elk, Forest, Indiana,
Jefferson, McKean, Potter, and
Venango counties.
The Pennsylvania Small
Business Development Centers
have requested an overall invest-
ment of $8.4 million from the
Pennsylvania General Assembly
in the 2002-2003 state budget.
This is a requirement in order for
the Clarion SBDC to provide
these services.
From the total of $8.4 million,
$1 million of that will be dedicat-
ed for providing economic reces-
sion and disaster recovery assis-
tance to more than 1,000 firms.
This will help them develop
adjustment strategies to success-
fully weather the economic slow-
down we are experiencing.
There are 25,000 other prospec-
tive entrepreneurs and small
companies that will be helpful
through training programs and
no-cost confidential consulting.
More than 4,000 businesses that
started with SBDC assistance
will be educated on their tax
requirements with $500,000 for a
new Tax Compliance Assistance
Program.
Dr. Woodrow Yeaney, the
Clarion SBDC director, said,
"The small companies that com-
prise most of the business in our
region are in a precarious state.
The Clarion SBDC, however, is a
resource these firms can turn to
for help."
According to a press release,
SBDC can and will help make a
difference. More than seventy-
five percent of entrepreneurs
who used SBDC assistance in
starting their venture are still in
business eight years later.
In addition, these companies
have greater sales and employ-
ment increases than the small
businesses that did not receive
assistance from SBDC. Even
being in a period of recession,
this still remains true. During the
last recession in Pennsylvania
that occurred in 1991, SBDC-
assisted jobs increased sales by
$300 million and added 5,500
jobs.
"We want to be there to help
our region's entrepreneurs
weather, and ultimately profit in
the current economic downturn.
But, we can only meet the grow-
ing needs of the region's small
businesses if the Commonwealth
provides the funding," Yeaney
said.
The Clarion SBDC plays a vital
and unique role in the
Commonwealth's economic
Development initiatives by:
*Assisting entrepreneurs in all
stages of business, from prospec-
tive entrepreneurs to mature
small businesses, looking for
growth opportunities;
*Working with firms in all
industry sectors, including the
fast growing service and retail
sectors that comprise the bulk of
the state's firms, as well as man-
ufacturing, construction and
wholesale;
♦Accessing the resources of a
national network of more than
950 Centers.
The Clarion SBDC is funded by
the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, the U.S. Small
Business Administration, Clarion
University of Pennsylvania, and
a private sector.

Winners of 2001 research awards announced
by Christina Meehan
Clarion Call Assistant News Editor
The Project Award Committee of the Presidential
Commission on the Status of Women at Clarion University
announced the winners of the Fall 2001 research awards.
The committee is dedicated to the improvement of
Clarion University women, regardless of age, race, class,
ethnicity, disabilities and/or sexual orientation. Members of
the committee include faculty, staff and students.
Former Physics Major Allison Loll, was awarded $250 to
research the distances of four interstellar clouds. The pro-
ject supervisor was Dr. Sharon Challener, assistant profes-
sor of physics, and research was conducted at McDonald
Observatory in Fort Davis, Tx. IjoW feels the program helps
underrepresented students like her to be acknowledged in
their field of study.
"If pet^ple are underrepresented in their field, they don't
really get into their work." said Loll.
Also receiving $250 is Psychology Major Amber Kramer,
who traveled to the Eastern Psychological Association
meeting in Boston to present her research on gemler-spe-
cific use of natural coping strategies and their perceived
effectiveness. The project supervisor was Dr. Jeanne
Slattery, an associate professor of psychology.
To be eligible for an award, students must submit an appli-
cation, a paper proving research was done and a statement
describing how die research meets the criteria.
Awards usually go to women who are undenTCpresented
in their field of study or who research gender-related topics.
However, awards have been granted to males.
Slattery feels the program can be very beneficial to stu-
dents.
"We want students in all sorts of fields to excel and be
successfiil," said Slattery.
Application for research awards can be picked up at the
Social Equity Office or on-bne.

Dr. Arthur Barlow, associate
professor of communication at
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania, had an article
published in the January 2002
edition of "Keeping Free
Presses Free."
Barlow's article, "Journalists
Win Confidentiality Battles,"
described six episodes when
student journalists won cases
involving protection of their
sources and materials.
According to Barlow,
"Protecting your sources is a
very important area."
He said, "Confidentiality is
not without challenges, but the
national network protecting the
rights of student journalists has
demonstrated its efficiency and
enjoyed a wide range of active
supporters."
One case Barlow mentioned
involved the University of
Texas at Tyler's Tiie Patriot,
which was, "The first ruling on
whether a state open-records
law can be used at a public
school to force disclosure of
reporter's notes and materials."
Another case Barlow cited
involved the University of
Montana's public access televi-
sion channel.
According to Barlow, "The
Society of Professional
Journalists (SPJ) legal defense
fund provided $1,000 toward
legal fees. Christine Tatum,
chairwoman of the SPJ legal
defense fund said in regard to
governmental efforts to obligate
journalists to help with police
work, 'we are not arms of law
enforcement-that's not our
job.'"
Barlow cited four other cases
involving Michigan State's The
State News; the University of
Arizona's Daily Wildcat and
TV3; Marquette University's
Dr Arthur Barlow had an arth
cle published in the January
2002 edition of "Keeping
Free Presses Free. "
Marquette Tribune; and Ohio's
Wright State University's The
Guardian.
He said these recent victories
remind us of the persistent
efforts to gain access to infor-
mation obtained by a free press.
College Media Advisers, Inc.
(CMA) publishes, "Keeping
Free Presses Free" annually to
promote Freedom of the College
Press Month in January.
According to Barlow, "CMA
distributes this publication
nationally to keep student jour-
nalists apprised of legal devel-
opments."
Barlow who relocated to
Clarion University in 1980 from
the Mansfield University
English Department, became
advisor of /^^/ar/i^-r^-iZ/in 1983.
In December of 2001, he turned
his position over to Mary Beth
Earnheardt, a former editor-in-
chief of /i* C/ar/ff Ca/'f and current
communication faculty member.
Barlow has been serving as
executive director of the Society
of Collegiate Journalists since
1982. In addition, he is present-
ly helping to develop Eyrie, the
new magazine that publishes
non-fiction written work by
Clarion University students for
distribution in Northwestern
Pennsylvania.

CUP'S "Cabaret" proves to be a dull experience
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Last Wednesday through
Saturday, Clarion University's
Theatre department performed
the third show of the 2001-
2002 season, the annual spring
musical "Cabaret." Starring
Bret Sloan (the ceaselessly
entertaining Master of
Ceremonies), Brad Schake
(American novelist Cliff) and
Miranda Scopel (British show-
girl/singer), and featuring a
cast of many fresh faces, the
show tells the tale of pre-
WWII Berlin and the rampant
hedonism of those times.
enough to establish a change
of scenery but left much of
everything else to the audi-
ence's imagination.
Yes, you should be worried
that I've moved right to prais-
ing the set.
While the principles all did
a wonderful job singing, danc-
ing, cross-dressing, and emot-
ing, there was still plenty to
turn me off about this play.
Though the beginning number
"Wilkommen" seemed to set
the pace for a show whose
energy just wouldn't stop, it
soon proved to be quite the
opposite.
The story itself moved slow-
song is a good example of
this.
Within this shaky founda-
tion, the cast performed
admirably, usually. Accents
are tricky, I know this, but the
"German" flavoring many of
the characters were supposed
to be using drifted in and out,
sounding anywhere from
"generic European" to nearly-
Russian.
Sloan was the one gem in the
play — never failing to either
make me laugh or just kind of
wonder what the hell he was
talking about. The singing
was widely variable — crisp
and goose-bump inspiring at
times, jumbled and unintelli-
gible at others, especially
when there was no principles
singing.
My biggest nitpick about the
play, though, and one I don't
want to have misinterpreted as
any kind of personal attack,
was a real lack of, well, danc-
ing. Aside from the scenes in
the club, another place for
Sloan to shine, there wasn't
much dancing to speak of. It's
a musical, directed by one of
Clarion's only dance profes-
sors, and there's very little
dancing? Excuse me? I
would have even settled for a
little creative blocking — but
even that was suspiciously
absent.
After the romping good time
of "The Rocky Horror Show,"
Michel's sidestep away from
doing it up and doing it up
BIG was more than a little off-
putting.
All in all, I'd have to give
the show about a 2 1/2 out of
5. Music and dialogue that
were only sometimes well-
done, questionable timing, and
virtually nonexistent choreog-
raphy made for a pretty dull
show.
Walking in, the set evokes
images of Tim Burton's own
bizarre night club — offset
angled floors, handrails, gap-
ing arches, purposely-gaudy
light up letters and bare-bulb
lighting. Sort of "The
Nightmare Before Moulin
Rouge." My usual praise to
Ed Powers and his stagecraft
wizards is especially warrant-
ed here — the mantra of "keep
it simple, stupid" seems to
have guided much of the
design of the set. Even pull-
out pieces were given just
ly and offered the audience no
real clue as to timing — how
long were we to assume a day,
a week, even a month was?
And a musical, in my experi-
ences, seems to weave the
non-reality of instantaneous
singing and dancing into the
fabric like "Oh yeah, we just
needed to sing" rather than
showing the wind-up and
delivery of said singing.
Cabaret's songs seemed to fol-
low their own logic, starting
and stopping in really odd
places— Theilet's "So Vat"

Dr. Drew dispenses his advice to Clarion students
by Amanda Brukner
Clarion Call Staff Writer
In Marwick-Boyd
Auditorium, many eager stu-
dents and guests awaited the
advice of a doctor: The Love
Doctor. Dr. Drew Pinsky,
long-time co-host of MTV's
Loveline, visited Clarion
University for a talk about
everything from dating to sex.
Dr. Drew and his partner,
Adam Corrola, hosted a show
on MTV for many years that
dealt with issues, problems
and questions of today's young
society.
Dr. Drew began by thanking
the audience for their grateful
applause and blessed the fact
that Adam was not there with
him! He gave his background
story of how he got into
Loveline in the 80's in L.A..
where, as a medical student, he
began a quest to give good
advice through a radio talk
show.
He was asked by the produc-
ers of the show that needed the
help of a "professional," and at
first he declined the offer, then
let his instincts take over. Dr.
Drew stressed the idea of
instincts during his talk with
the audience, and says he now
relies heavily on his own, and
advised us to do so as well.
His instincts made him who he
is today and allowed the world
to get his advice for over ten
years.
With a laid-back and comical
atmosphere, the good doctor
asked the audience for ques-
tions, and "the talk" began. As
one man asked the question of
why he gets attached to all
girls so much. Dr. Drew rec-
ommended a great book,
Dreams Of Love And Faithful
Encounters .
The talk wasn't all fun and
games, it was actually helpful.
The audience was quick to
warm up, and some interesting
questions arose. One about the
Dr. Drew, former co-host of MTV's popular call-in shovj.
Loveline, brought his tongue-in-cheek brand of advice on
love, relationships and sex to Clarion University this past
Monday.
use of the drug ecstasy during
sex was a highlight. The audi-
ence member wanted to know
why he was eager to engage in
so much sex after using the
drug. Dr. Drew replied by say-
ing that drug use stimulates
people in different ways, while
using it and afterwards, so this
is probably how his own body
reacts.
But Dr. Drew also made it
very clear to the young audi-
ence that ecstasy use is very
much on the rise among col-
lege students and very danger-
ous to your body. Talk of the
use and abuse of marijuana and
alcohol on college campuses
surfaced as well, and Dr. Drew
had sound advice for those
who need help for themselves
or friends and loved ones.
He also assured the audience
that women do like nice guys,
and not get angry with macho
men who hold in their feelings
because it's only the testos-
terone in them! He then
warned all women to steer
clear of magazines like
Cosmopolitan because it's all
worthless, and the key to a
man's happiness is not within
those pages. He then lightened
the mood by telling one
woman to be honest with her
boyfriend, and tell him that
she hates his "tighty whitey"
underwear.
An interesting question was
raised about faithfulness in
by Brad Hemmings
Clarion Call Staff Writer
After a long, exhausting
day, I usually want nothing
more than to sit back and
watch an entertaining movie
that doesn't require a PhD to
dissect the plot. Usually a
typical Arnold
Schwarzenegger flick will do
the trick with their ample car-
nage and destruction, and I
expected nothing more when I
ventured to see his newest
film. Collateral Damage.
What I got was not only the
inevitable maiming and mur-
dering, but also an ironically
familiar scenario that's a far
cry from a purely fictional-
ized story.

Schwarzenegger plays Los
Angeles fireman and loving
father, Gordy Brewer, whose
life is turned upside-down
when his wife and kid are
killed in a building explosion
intended for American intelli-
gence agents. The attack is
attributed to a Columbian
guerrilla leader (Cliff Curtis)
who apparently has the time
and intelligence to plan sever-
al intricate bombings of
prominent American build-
ings, but can't come up with a
more original and threatening
nickname than "The Wolf."
After Brewer realizes that
the US government has no
plans on bringing the killers
to justice, he decides to take
matters into his own hands.
Several friends, including fel-
low firemen, American intelli-
gence agents, and even insid-
ers from the Columbian
camps, help him. The usual
action film antics ensue, from
jungle chases to jailbreaks,
with a healthy dose of dead
bad guys and explosions smat-
tered throughout.
If you think the plot, or at
least the beginning of it,
sounds like it was taken
directly from September 11,
you're not alone. Many have
complained that the story too
closely resembles the actual
events and feel the film isn't
sensitive to the families and
victims of the tragedy. There
are also protesters who feel
that the film portrays
Columbians as nothing morfe
than drug-dealing militant
relationships. Why do a lot of
people who are in good rela-
tionships feel the need to
cheat? Drew said it's a num-
ber of reasons, but fear of inti-
macy greatly increases these
odds.
The audience was informed
that the best way to quit smok-
ing is to use the patches avail-
able and the drug Zyban. The
doctor spoke of the great bene-
fits for women who use birth
control, and the serious risks
of oxycontin. He focused on
programs to help young people
beat addiction and signs to
look for in others who need
help as well.
Michaelene Mooney, a
Junior at Clarion, said "The
show was belter than 1 thought
it would be and was very infor-
mative."
Dr. Drew Pinsky fielded a
wide variety of questions and
issues that most young kids in
college have. He spoke the
truth and made people com-
fortable with their problems.
His visit to Clarion was surely
beneficial, and enjoyed by
everyone who attended.
Drew closed his talk with a
strange and funny story about
his friend Adam, and took his
leave of Clarion. As far as the
answer to "Can a guy with
smaller "jewels" do anything
to make the sex better for the
women," you should have been
there!
;ef fomiula
rebels.
People - it's just a movie. It
was written and filmed long
before September. Warner
Brothers even delayed its
release for several months to
attempt to avoid comparisons
and controversy. If anything,
it should be seen as a kind of
tribute that the heroic charac-
ter is a fireman.
And trust me; this movie
won't convince people that
Columbians are just drug-
dealing militant rebels any
more than a slew of other
films already have. Clear And
Present Danger and Proof Of
Life are just two examples
that, . unfortunately,
Columbians will forever be
stereotyped as the drug-deal-

Whiskeytown bows out with dignity on Pneumonia
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifesy es Editor
ARTIST/ALBUM: Whiskeytown,
Pneumonia.
FOR FANS OF: Weary, worn-in
acoustic balladry; alt-country.
FOR FURTHER LISTENING: Wilco's
Being There, Ryan Adams' Heartbreaker,
Uncle Tupelo's catalogue.
Of all the things Ryan Adams has been
accused of, laziness sure isn't one of
them. Two solo albums in as many years
(one of them a highly ambitious double-
album, no less), an now this - the oft-
delayed final album from the group he
fronted, Whiskeytown.
Along with similar-minded groups such
as Uncle Tupelo, Wilco and the
Jayhawks, Whiskeytown spearheaded the
alt-country movement in the early-to-mid
90s. Aside from producing one of the
genre's finest albums {Strangers
Almanac), Whiskeytown provided the
movement with its most recognizable
persona, the charismatic Adams.
But as often happens v/ith a group
blessed (or burdened) with such a star,
the spotlighted member in question
becomes too big for their bandmates.
Adams struck out on his own to deliver
his staggering statement of purpose, the
haunted and haunting Heartbreaker.
Then, just this past summer, Adams
unleashed his two-disc opus. Gold, which
was the yin to Heartbreaker' s yang.
While Heartbreaker showed Adams cow-
ering in the corner of the bar. Gold
showed him parading down the avenue,
toting a brass band along with him.
Before he left Whiskeytown behind
him, he did cut one final album with the
group. Pneumonia, which remained unre-
leased until after Heartbreaker took off.
Pneumonia is a curious album.
Usually, final albums cut during a
group's demise are messy, unfocused and
uninspired affairs (see the Clash's Cut
The Crap for proof). And while
Pneumonia is a far cry from a concentrat-
ed blast of musical ecstasy, it is an
admirably written and executed album
that not only stands on its own, but shows
the direction Adams was heading
towards.
Most of Adams' considerable strengths
are showcased here. Pneumonia is a
tightly written batch of mid-tempo bal-
lads and easy-going rockers which are
endlessly warm and inviting; never cold
or off-putting. It is the sound that con-
jures hazy images of sitting on a porch on
a rainy summer's night; of creaky floor-
boards and threadbare jeans; the sound of
clinking beer bottles, melancholy sighs
and weepy jukeboxes.
Pneumonia is a compromise of Adams'
conflicting values. It doesn't have the
boozy recklessness of the harder
Stranger's Almanac, nor does it have the
delicate emotional fragility of
Heartbreaker. It's a confident album;
you can hear it in the punchy refrain of
"Mirror Mirror" and the devil-may-care
attitude of "Crazy About You," yet tracks
such as "The Ballad Of Carol Lynn"
undermine that current with lines like
"Lovin' you has gotten weird. ..Trusting
you has gotten strange."
The mood of Pneumonia never strays
too far from the middle; even on what
would seem to be the album's emotional
low, "Bar Lights," the track is buoyed by
both the offbeat nature of the instrumen-
tation and Adams' vocal outro.
Elsewhere, he both laments and cele-
brates life in towns both large and small,
in "Jacksonville Skyline" and "My
Hometown," respectively.
Though the mood may not change
much, sonically, it's Whiskeytown's most
varied effort, featuring the blues-rock and
alt-country we've come to expect, but
also throwing in a few nods to tradition-
al, Beatles-esque pop ("Don't Wanna
Know Why," "Mirror Mirror"). Hell,
subtract the schmaltz and melodrama of
Don Henley's "End Of The Innocence,"
and you've got "Sit & Listen To The
Rain" here. Even more surprising are the
back-to-back tracks, "Paper Moon" and
"What The Devil Wanted."
"Paper Moon" glimmers with a
Hawaiian vibe, as Adams plays the role
of lounge crooner for the song. The
sunny, tropical orchestrated song juxta-
poses perfectly with the sparse, atmos-
pheric "What The Devil Wanted," which
sports faked vinyl cracks and pops, and
distant, chiming percussion.
While Adams' songwriting isn't as
sharp as it has been on other albums, he's
still got an unshakable knack for crafting
songs that sound like they've nested in
your heart for years. As I said before, the
album is a compromise, and that means
that it's never exceptionally good, but
also means that it's never exceptionally
bad, either.
It may not pack as visceral a punch as
Stranger's Almanac or Heartbreaker, and
it won't crack the pop charts the way the
sometimes garishly overproduced Gold
did, but Pneumonia is a fitting swan
song, capping off their career with digni-
ty, and providing an insightful glimpse
into Adams' transition. 3 1/2 out of 5
stars.
Curling gets swept under the rug
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
OGDEN, Utah - This is the site
of the Olympic curling competi-
tion, which has approximately 15
security personnel for every spec-
tator. The tight security is neces-
sary because curling is a prime
target of terrorists. "If we can
stop them from curling, then we
will have won," is a phrase often
heard at terrorist gatherings.
Ironically, curling is almost
unknown m many parts of the
United States. But if you go any-
where in Europe or Asia, you will
find that it is almost unknown
there, too. The only places where
it is known are Bemidji, Minn,
(pop. 11,884) and Canada (pop.
10,315). But it is huge in those
places, because it is one of the
very few sports that combine the
excitement of a heavy piece of
granite sliding slowly across the
ice with the excitement of chunky
broom-wielding people in bowl-
ing attire sweeping furiously in
the stone's path, like janitors on
speed.
To understand the point of the
sweeping, it helps to know the
history of curling. The sport dates
to 16th-century Scotland, where
it was played on dirt, which
meant the stone did not slide. It
just sat there, pretty much like a
stone. To get it to move, the play-
ers had to sweep the dirt in front
of it until they made a rut deep
enough that the stone would roll
forward, traveling perhaps 6
inches. In those days, a single
curling match could take months.
This led to the invention of
scotch.
The introduction of ice speeded
the game up (although not by
much). But the element of sweep-
ing was retained, because without
sweepers, you basically have a
sport consisting of stones sliding
slowly across the ice, and that
would look silly.
There have been several
attempts to boost curling's popu-
larity. At the 1998 Nagano
Olympics, the international curl-
ing federation, seeking a more
modern image, allowed the
sweepers, for the first time, to use
vacuum cleaners. This led to the
tragic incident wherein a combi-
nation of slushy ice and faulty
extension cords electrocuted the
entire Latvian team (which still
won the silver). Also there was
the 1987 movie called Bristles of
Passion, starring Robert Redford
as a veteran curler who must hang
up his broom when he develops a
callus the size of a walnut.
Unfortunately, it bombed.
Speaking of which: When I was
at the curling press center, under
each phone there was a piece of
paper titled BOMB THREAT,
which told you what to do if
somebody called with a bomb
threat. Among the questions
you're supposed to ask the caller
are (I am not making this up):
"What kind of bomb is it?"
"What is your address?" "What is
your name?" Also there's a list of
words you're supposed to
describe the caller's voice,
including "nasal," "stutter" and
"lisp." You also get a choice of
background sounds, including
"animal noises'" and "crockery."
So we can rest assured that all
possible steps have been taken to
keep the curling competition
secure. To the terrorists. I say: Ha
ha on you. Also, to Osama bin
Laden specifically, 1 say: What is
your address?
Collateral! A review of the new Arnold Schwarzenegger
action film, Collateral Damage, from Page 12.
drug-dealing sort. I'm sure
they have millions of innocent
people that have nothing to do
with drugs. But a movie made
about those people would be
about as interesting as watch-
ing me eat crackers, which I
am.
But back to the movie.
Andrew Davis, of The Fugitive
fame, directs the rather stan-
dard action sequences. Don't
misunderstand; it's a thorough-
ly entertaining movie, but if
you've seen any action movie
you can predict what's going
to happen next, even before
you walk into the theater. This
predictability may turn off
some, but you really never can
get enough torture scenes
involving snakes.
With a few minor changes.
Collateral Damage could easi-
ly have been one of
Schwarzenegger's better
efforts. Forget that the man
can't cry on screen to save his
54-year old life. If only the
special effects crew could have
made the waterfall scene seem
slightly less like a video game.
If only Schwarzenegger, who
obviously can't correctly pro-
nounce the letter 'R,' wasn't
given the character name of
Gordy Brewer. Count 'em,
three 'R's. It took until the
credits rolled to realize that his
name wasn't Gawdy Bwewa.
But there are several high-
lights in the film including a
typically excellent perfor-
mance by John Turturro as
Brewer's fellow inmate, and a
scene-stealing, although disap-
pointingly short, appearance
by John Leguizamo. The
movie is worth seeing, if for
no other reason than to witness
the scene where Brewer pulls
the infamous Mike Tyson ear
trick on one of the rebels.
There's a simple formula to
determine whether you'll like
Collateral Damage. Simply
ask yourself if you'd like to
see the sequels of True Lies
and Proof Of Life meshed into
one "don't mess with my fami-
ly or ril jack you up,
Commando-<,\y\t" kind of film.
If "yes"" IS your answer, then
Collateral Damage is the per-
fect topping to an action junky
pizza.

Golden Eagles soar over lUP 82-71: Shearer honored

Information
Clarion University's women's
basketball team used three large
runs to overcome a 19-point
deficit late in the first half to get
an 86-73 win over lUP and clinch
its first PSAC Playoff berth since
the 1996-97 season.
The Golden Eagles (12-12 over-
all, 6-5 PSAC- West) were able to
lock up at least fourth place in the
PSAC-West with the win and
Shippensburg's win over
Edinboro Saturday. The top four
teams in both the PSAC-West and
PSAC-East qualify for the PSAC
Playoffs. Clarion is a 1/2 game
behind Slippery Rock for third
place in the West. The Golden
Eagles have one game remaining,
Wednesday at California, while
Slippery Rock has two games left.
Clarion will play a first-round
PSAC Playoff game Feb. 26 at a
site and time to be announced.
In the lUP game, the Golden
Eagles trailed 43-24 following
two free throws by lUP's
Courtnay Rattigan with 4:16 left
in the first half Clarion, though,
ended the half on a 14-4 run to
close the lUP lead to nine points at
47-38. The Golden Eagles then
went on a 13-1 run to start the sec-
ond half extending the overall run
to 27-5 while taking a 51-48 lead
with 16:01 left in the game. It was
the Golden Eagles first lead since
the opening basket of the game
put Clarion up 2-0.
lUP (11-13, 3-7) responded to
the Clarion run going on a 10-3
run of its own a couple of minutes
later to take a seven-point lead at
64-57 with 9:01 left to play
The Golden Eagles quickly
responded outscoring lUP 19-2
over the next 5:11 to take a 76-66
lead on a layup by Jen Duhnke
with 3:44 left to play.
The Indians fought back cutting
the lead to five-points at 76-71
with 2:21 left, but Clarion went on
a 10-2 run to get the 13-point win.
Three keys to the Golden Eagles
victory were the three big runs.
Clarion's second-half defense and
free-throw shooting.
The three runs by the Golden
Eagles used 13:12 of the clock. In
that span Clarion outscored lUP
56-9.
The Clarion defense also limited
lUP to 17.9 percent shooting (5-
for-28) in the second half after
allowing the Indians to hit 58.6
percent of their shots (17-of-29) in
the first half.
Free-throw shooting was also a
big key for Clarion, as it shot 85
percent from the line (34 of 40),
while lUP went 63 percent from
the line (29 of 46).
Before the game, the Golden
Eagles had honored their two
seniors, Christina Lantz and
Tiffany Taylor, and the seniors
made their last game at Tippin
Gym a memorable one. Lantz
scored 18 points, grabbed 13
rebounds and swatted away three
lUP shots, while Taylor had 15
points, four rebounds and four
assists.
Freshman Heather Cigich also
had a big game for Clarion gain-
ing her 12th double-double of the
season with 18 points and 11
rebounds. Juniors Jen Duhnke and
Tameka Washington each provid-
ed sparks off the bench for Clarion
with Duhnke scoring 12 points
while playing great defense on
lUP's Jacquie Negrelli and
Washington adding 1 1 points.
Negrelli led lUP with 19 points
and six assists before fouling out
with 4:49 left, while Jacqui Martin
added 13 points and nine
rebounds, Carrie Hoy 12 points
and six rebounds and Sarah
Zdesar 10 points.
It is the seventh time in head
coach Margaret "Gie" Parsons 13
years that Clarion has qualified for
the PSAC Playoffs. The Golden
Eagles have won the PSAC Title
three times (1991, 1993, 1994)
under Parsons and finished second
once. Parsons has also guided the
Golden Eagles to five NCAA
Playoff appearances including the
NCAA Division II "Elite Eight" in
1991 and then again in 1994. She
is the winningest coach in school
history with a 196-163 (55 per-
cent). She has a career record of
306-236 (56.5 percent) in now her
21st season of coaching.
Clarion's last PSAC Playoff
game was a 71-65 loss to West
Chester in 1997. The Golden
Eagles are 8-5 in the PSAC
Playoffs since 1980 but 8-3 under
Parsons.
Clarion University's Heather
Cigich has been named PSAC-
West women's basketball Rookie
of the Week for the week ending
Feb. 16.
Cigich had an outstanding week
for the Golden Eagles (12-12, 6-5)
continuing her solid play for
Clarion by averaging 15.5 points
per game and 11.5 rebounds per
game during the week. She scored
18 points and grabbed 11
rebounds in Clarion's 86-73 win
over lUP Saturday that clinched
the Golden Eagle's first PSAC
Playoff berth since the 1996-97
season.

rebounds against Slippery Rock
Wednesday. The two double-dou-
bles now give her 12 on the year.

Indoor track and field
Track teams hit marks at Kent State invite
by Erin Witner
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The Golden Eagle Indoor Track teams trav-
eled to Kent State University on Saturday,
Feb. 16 for another meet of open competition.
Due to the non-scored event, the team
focused on individual pre-season improve-
ment. Saturday's meet was more of a chal-
lenge to the team, for they were competing
against Division I schools with many elite
athletes.
Highlights from Kent State on the womens
side came mostly from the field events. Pole-
vaulter, Elissa Till achieved her best height of
the season with a nine-foot vault. This quali-
fied her for PSAC Championships in the
spring. Elissa was also tied in the event for
eighth place.
Next in the field events, Kristy Shoemaker
had her best distances of the year in the long
and triple jumps. Shoemaker jumped a dis-
tance of 35'01.75 in the triple jump and 16'0
in the long jump. This gave her a fourth and
eighth place finish in the Finals. Shoemaker's
jumps also qualified her for the PSAC
Championships.
Jen Klock had an exceptional meet. She
took home sixth place in the shot-put, throw-
ing a distance of 4r03.75. This distance is
six inches short of the school record. Klock
has qualified for PSAC Championships in the
spring. This was only Klock's second meet of
the season and coach Mooney says she is def-
initely off to a good start.
For the track events: Melissa Terwillinger,
Jen Boerner, and Katie Szafran did very well
in the 5000m. Terwillinger came in third with
Boerner right behind her. Their times quali-
fied them both for PSAC's. Terwillinger fin-
ished in ninth place and had her best time of
the season.
For the men, Jerry Smith and Shane Kraus
both had good meets. Both men ran the
800m. Smith came in eighth place overall,
and just missed qualifying for PSACs.
At this meet, the Golden Eagles had quite a
few personal records met. This is quite a feat
considering that many personal records were
destroyed last weekend at Slippery Rock. The
Golden Eagles had more competition and bet-
ter races on Saturday than in past meets.
"Everything is moving on as planned, and
we are just getting prepared for outdoors,"
said coach Mooney.
This weekend, February 23, 2002 the team
will close out the season at Mt. Union. The
Golden Eagles will enjoy the break and come
back ready for outdoor training. Clarion will
open the season at home with an Invitational
on March 22 and 23.

"Hockey House"catches fire over winter break
by Amy A. Thompson
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief
During Clarion University's winter
break, a house known by students as the
•'Hockey House," caught fire.
Members of the Clarion University
club sport hockey team lived in the
house. Nick Corsini, Bill Evans, Jeff
Hartman, Bill Holmes, Jeff Rich and
Tron Valentine were included on the
lease.
However, only one person was home
at the time of the fire. Corsini was
upstairs when he thought he smelled
smoke. As the smell intensified he went
downstairs to investigate.
Corsini said he couldn't see and
couldn't breathe, so he went upstairs to
call the fire company and make his
escape from an upstairs window.
Corsini said you have no appreciation
for how fast a fire spreads until it hap-
pens to you.
"I really appreciate the effort put
forth by the fire company and its volun-
teers and how quickly they responded,"
said Corsini.
Corsini said the fire department
responded within three or four minutes.
Among the 25 volunteers were four
Clarion University students, Mike
Metz, Chris Hulings, Mike Waite and
Tim Bowser.
Valentine praised Fire Chief Clay
Williams, saying Williams guided them
through the ordeal telling them where
to go for help and support.
"He went more out of his way than
the university did and he had never met
us." said Valentine.
The Clarion University Foundation
owned and operated the Hockey House.
Ron Wilshire. assistant vice president
for advancement and university rela-
tions, released this statement:
"We are pleased that there was no one
injured and everyone responded so
quickly to the fire. We are especially
grateful for the quick response of the
Clarion Fire Department. All prelimi-
nary reports we have received indicate
that the fire originated from material
stored too close to the furnace. The

material overheated and caught fire. We
also understand that the fire will likely
be classified as accidental."
According to Wilshire, the university
does have an informational list of off-
campus landlords and safety tips. The
university, however, has no jurisdiction
over off-campus housing, said Wilshire.
"The Foundation maintains a strict
maintenance policy in order to provide
the safest rentals available. However,
accidents do happen and renters should
be aware of safe practices," said
Wilshire,
Residents of the house had $647 of
their $1,150 per semester rent fee
returned to them after the fire.
According to Corsini. Evans, Valentine
and Christian Vanassa. hockey player,
the University Foundation did offer res-
idence hall rooms for about $700 per
person.
According to Wilshire, the cost is pro-
rated and includes the room and utili-
ties.
"The University Foundation did offer
us help, but for a price," said Valentine.
"I just think it's messed up that the
school is more concerned about getting
paid than housing their students in a
time of need," said Evans.
The former residents of the house
want other students to be aware of fire
safety and they advise other students to
check their homes for potential dan-
gers.
"It's sad to see all of those great
memories go down in flames," said
Vanassa.
The six students are planning to move
into another house soon.
According to information provided by
Residence Life, one should look at
more than one residence before signing
a lease and look closely at the safety of
the possible residence.
An Off-Campus Housing Booklet is
available at the Office of Residence
Life located 228 Egbert Hall.

Your Views
Public drunkeness is a problem
that most college's face, and
Clarion University is no excep-
tion. Sudents who drink too
much at Clarion are often out on
the streets acting crazy. Here are
some obervations.
When standing in a store after
people have been drinking it is
amazing what you can hear come
out of peoples' mouths. They
may use foul language, call oth-
ers bad names, or mouthing off to
the people who are working. Is
this really necessary?
If you can't handle yourself in
public while intoxicated, then
after you are done drinking, go
home and go to bed. Don't go out
and make other people miser-
able. It only causes problems in
the long run.
Another interesting phenome-
non that we observed is the trend
that has many people going to the
bathroom on trees, bushes, or any
other type of plant while drink-
ing. One of the CAr/ixr Caff staff
members witnessed a guy peeing
on a bush and then, when he was
done, he walked up to a group of
friends and shook their hands.
We have news for that student
and others like him. Now that
we are in the year 2002, we have
an invention called a bathroom-
room, there is a toilet. This is the
proper place to relieve yourself.
So instead of peeing outside for
all of the world to see, pee inside
and wash your hands afterwards.
Not everyone wants your germs.
Another problem we have
observed is while walking home
from the bar or a party, it isn't
uncommon to see someone vom-
iting right on the street or in a
bush next to the street.
Now we can understand that
sometimes people will get sick
and things will happen, but when
it because a common occurrence,
there is a problem.
No one walking home after the
bar wants to see you getting sick,
go to the bathroom. Hey there is
another use for the bathroom.
Another good thing to do if you
get sick is to stop drinking! If
you feel yourself start to go, that
means it is time to quit. Go home
and get some sleep.
That would be so much easier
than showing the entire town of
Clarion what you had to eat
before you went out that night.
Also, if you get in trouble for
something, don't make the situa-
tion worse for yourself. You have
the chance to make the situation
positive. Go through the proper
channels and your voice will be
heard.
Justice, whatever it may be,
will in the end prevail.

Reader responds to Chaffee letter
Dear Editor,
After reading Jeffrey M.
Chaffee's letter in the February
21 CfaritK Ctff \ felt compelled to
respond with my own views on
some of the issues he addressed.
I whole heartedly agree with his
suggestions to CUP students who
find themselves overcome with
boredom and disappointment
here at Clarion. If I were given a
nickel for every time I heard a
student say something to the
effect of "there's nothin' to do
here," or "I'm so sick of class," I
could buy and sell the entirety of
Clarion University.
Now first things first. For those
of you who think this area is
equivalent to one of Dante's lev-
els of hell, I've got a secret to tell
you. ..everybody thinks it sucks
where they live. I've lived and/or
traveled all over the world and
one thing that all the places I've
traveled to have in common is
that nobody was happy living
there. The grass will always be
greener, so to speak.
Now I've heard all the com-
plaints (This place is boring,
there's nothing to do, everyone
leaves on weekends, it's a suit-
case campus, etc..) and to an
extent some of these are true, but
I think a great deal of blame is
being misplaced.
The fact is (you may want to sit
down for this) "Animal House"
and "PCU" are just movies. It is
painfully obvious that
Hollywood colleges are insanely
more entertaining than real life.
In spite of this atrocious fact,
I've seen efforts made by several
individuals and organizations to
bring activities and even fun
(God forbid) to this town.
On a daily basis, I see flyers and
what not advertising some sort of
activity or trip that would proba-
bly be a pretty good time. It
seems to me that a large number
of the student population will not
be satisfied until they walk into
Gemmell and see a huge poster
that reads: "FREE BEER!!
Friday starting at noon. Alcohol,
food, and pheromones provided!
Plenty of places to pass out!
Come one. Come all!"
Now granted, I wasn't too
thrilled about Toby Keith playing
at the Tippin Gymnasium either,
but I think what Jeff Chaffee said
was right. If you are that unhappy
with the acts that are chosen to
play, join UAB and try to make
changes.
Try to set up your own events
that you think would be fun.
Some friends of mine and I did it
last Halloween and it wasn't that
hard. It was poorly attended how-
ever, but hey, "there's nothin' to
do around here."
Now onto the dreaded subject
of classes. I know, I know, it's
unfair that we should have to
come to college and not just take
classes, but do it the way our pro-
fessors want us to as well. Again,
I reinforce Mr. Chaffee's sugges-
tions on this matter. I like com-
parisons so I'm going to say it
like this: If you are sitting on
your couch and you notice water
dripping from the ceiling onto
your head you have three options:
#1 You can move and sit else-
where.
#2 You can fix the ceiling leak
and eliminate the problem.
#3 You can sit there and get wet.
So if you are in a class that is
more arduous than a Freddie
Prinze Jr. movie, again you have
three options:
#1 Drop the class (sit elsewhere).
#2 Try to do what you can to
make the class more interesting
for yourself and others who are
probably in as much pain as you.
It's amazing how many people
will follow suit if someone takes
the first step (fix the ceiling).
#3 Deal with it and be miserable
(sit and get wet).
I as well welcome any ques-
tions, concerns, or comments you
may have.
Feel free to correspond at war-
wickbass 1 38 @yahoo.com . I will
certainly make the effort to reply
to any responses. Much thanks
for your time and efforts.
Respectfully,
George J. Rutherford

Now here I am,
preparing to graduate
in eight short weeks
and still very puzzled
as to what direction
my life should take. 99
-Susan Campbell
As a senior in high school, I
looked forward to going to col-
lege, and now I look back and
wonder where the four years have
gone.
When I got accepted to Clarion, I
knew I wanted to be a
Communication major, I thought I
had my entire future planned out.
After my first Communication
class, Explorations in Mass
Communication, that detailed plan
of my life started to get fuzzy. I
was introduced to new areas of the
Communication field and started
to get nervous. There seemed to be
so much from which to choose,
and I didn't know what area would
best fit me.
My original die-hard plan of
becoming a journalist was lost in
the sea of Mass Communications.
I didn't know what appealed to me
the most.
To add to my new curiosities, I
was also a freshman at college, the
first big transition of my life. I
took my new-found freedom for
granted and got a little off-track.
My sophomore year I realized
just how hard it was to schedule
last. The choices for
Communication classes were lim-
ited and so were seats.
The frustration and lack of class-
es caused me to stray farther from
my original plan. I explored some
general education classes and
wondered if Communication was
even for me.
My junior year seemed to go
much smoother. I got into more
Communication classes and was
introduced to new opportunities.
The feeling of wanting to switch
majors soon disappeared, but the
decision of what to focus on was
still unclear.
Now here I am, preparing to
graduate in eight short weeks and
still very puzzled as to what direc-
tion my life should take. More
schooling or the real world?
Despite my original misgivings
about Communication and college
in general, I never had the urge to
give up. I know that the college
experience has prepared me for
my future in ways I can't explain.
So my advice to you is: don't
give up, enjoy your time here, take
advantage of the opportunity to
make memories and friends that
last a lifetime.

A wise man once
said \..the only thing
we have to fear is fear
itself'. 99
-Amy a. Thompson
^A^mo( 0^ feof^ '*
A wise man once said, "...the
only thing we have to fear is fear
itself" No offense to Franklin D.
Roosevelt, but fear itself can be
pretty scary. Fear may be the
most powerful force ever used by
man.
A good example of fear's power
is that just knowing another
country has nuclear and bio-
chemical weapons makes us fear-
ful of them.
So as the American public
reaches the six-month anniver-
sary of the 9- 1 1 tragedy, we must
remember how fear can immobi-
lize or motivate.
The terrorist attacks are proof of
how people use fear to try to
immobilize and pull others into
submission. The heroes of 9-11
are evidence of what it means to
overcome fear and motivate
yourself for the greater good.
Every day of our lives we are
faced with fears. Fortunately,
those fears pale in comparison to
the fears addressed during the cri-
sis in September, and are usually
the fears which we bring upon
ourselves. However, the deci-
sions we make may not be as
meager as we believe them to be.
My dad used to say, "things you
do today may affect you tomor-
row." He is absolutely right. I
very seldom make a decision
without thinking about how it
will affect others and myself in
the future.
My last statement even demon-
strates a certain level of fear, or
maybe it's just overzealous cau-
tion.
We can't be afraid to take risks.
Everyone on this campus has
taken a risk by coming to college.
The problem is that the people
who are most afraid of taking
risks should be taking them,
while others who aren't afraid are
taking part in dangerous and
senseless ones, affecting more
lives than they may realize.
The author is a senior
Communication major.

Vallely letter prompts another response
Dear Editor,
In the Jan. 31 edition of TU
Caff, a letter to the editor by
Joseph)' E. Vallely claimed that
the God of Muslims and the
God of Christians are not the
same.
Citing his authority as a for-
mer seminarian, he claimed
that since Muslims do not
believe in "the Old and New
Testament, the Trinity, the
divinity of Jesus, and the sacra-
ments" they must be worship-
ping a false god. He also
claimed that Christians and
Muslims must not believe in
the same God since, supposed-
ly, the Islamic faith does not
recognize Moses as a prophet.
As the priest-adviser to the
campus Newman Association I
have been asked to respond to
the remarks made by Mr.
Vallely.
A mistaken perception per-
haps exists in the university
community that Mr. Vallely is a
priest. He is not. He would
have referred to the fact if he
were. I, too, am a former semi-
narian, though it's redundant to
refer to that fact. Even a priest,
in his own name, lacks the right
to speak officially on behalf of
the Church.
So let me offer the words of
Vatican II Dogmatic
Constitution on the Church:
"Those also can attain to salva-
tion who through no fault of

their own did not know the
Gospel of Christ or His Church,
yet sincerely seek God and
moved by grace strive by their
deeds to do His will as it is
known to them through the dic-
tates of conscience (art. 16)."
People who don't believe in
the same way Catholics do, can
still go to heaven. This is com-
mon sense to most people, yet
it perhaps strikes them as over-
ly christocentric. Moses and
the prophets didn't know
Christ, yet Catholics believe
that they are in heaven.
I do not presume to speak for
Islam or Judiasm. As a
Catholic, it seems clear to me
that there are parallel strands of
thought and experience among
Christianity, Islam, and
Judaism.
I don't think any religions do
a satisfactory job in fostering
appreciation of the diversity
and congruence among these
religions. Each believes that
God made us and he has pro-
vided us with moral guides to
follow in order to experience
life with him.
We differ on the specifics. It
should be clear to people of
faith that those who seek the
creator sincerely will find him.
If God is infinite and we are
not, we are always going to dif-
fer on the specifics until we
meet him. That's just my opin-
ion. I'm not going to put ini-
tials after my name to get you
to believe me.
Unfortunately, there have
been times in the history of the
Christian church when we have
persecuted people because of
differences over the specifics.
The Church has acknowl-
edged this and must continue to
do much more the ensure that
people of faith realize that
human beings are equal in dig-
nity and worthy of God's love,
regardless of their religion.
God is our common origin
and life with him is our com-
mon goal. This realization
should be the starting point of
all our relations, especially
where inter-religious dialog is
concerned.

A militaristic state?
Dear Editor,
I certainly appreciate Th ClarioKt
Caff publication of my letter enti-
tled "The Momentum of War."
My copy of the Letter's refer-
ence to "The US led a deadly one-
sided war against Iraq in 1991
despite the fact the Mikhail
Gorbachev had secured Saddam
Hussein's agreement to withdraw
from Kuwait shows that "Bush I
insisted on war."
However, you deleted my desig-
nation of "Bush I" (actually
Daddy Bush) which was meant to
clearly distinguish him from the
current and appointed White
House occupant.
The Bushes seem devoted to
war-making. Daddy Bush in four
years gave us the needless Gulf
War, referred to in the second
paragraph above. He had already
waged an aggressive invasion of
Panama to kidnap dictator
Manuel Noriega, a former US
employee of the CIA. As many as
a thousand innocent civilians may
have been killed by a clearly ille-
gal and needless resort to blood-
letting.
We now have a third Bush war in
four years under Bush I and only

ten additional months under the
appointee, George W. I leave it to
qualified historians to determine
whether three wars in less than
five years exceed the record of
earlier militaristic leaders and
nations.
The second line of the following
paragraph was also deleted, prob-
ably inadvertently. It should have
read, "The War Resisters Leag ue
has called attention to the "poli-
cies of militarism pursued by the
US that have resulted in millions
of deaths."
The League would have us "seek
the end of militarism that has
characterized this nation for
decades. Let us seek a world in
which security is gained through
disarmament, international coop-
eration and social justice; not
through escalation and retalia-
tion."
Is it not time that we seriously
consider and debate who and what
we really are?
We have been almost constantly
at war for nearly 60 years, and
seemed lost without it and wonder
where next. There was the Cold
war and the arms race which
threatened human extinction, fol-
lowed by Korea, Vietnam,
Grenada, Panama, the Gulf War,
Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo and the
new Bush war.
Aid, assistance and backing for
other conflicts in Nicaragua, El
Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti,
Columbia and Israel went on reli-
giously in addition to air raids on
Libya, Sudan, Iraq and
Afghanistan. Economic sanctions
and boycotts continue to strike
down the peoples of Cuba and
Iraq. Economic involvments and
pressures are waged world-wide.
For a powerful nation, actually
unchallenged by any other, we
hear "leaders," politicians, corpo-
rate promoters and media con-
stantly threatening us with exag-
gerated additional imminent dan-
gers. Only the overwhelming
power to accept and conform pre-
vents us at various times from
laughter, tears or uncontrollable
fear.
Unchecked arms expenditures
grow continously. They now
exceed the total of the next fifteen
leading nations combined. For
several decades US military bases
and forces have been implanted in
more than eighty nations across
the globe.
The words of Editor Lewis
Lapham in the March issue of
Harper's are relevant. He says,
"Fattened on the seed of open-
handed military spending (17 tril-
lion since 1950) and grazing in
the pastures of easy credit and
certain profit, the confederation of
vested interests that President
Eisenhower once identified as
»'the military-industrial complex''
brought forth an armed colossus
the likes of which the world had
never seen; weapons of every
conceivable caliber and size, 2
million men under arms on five
continents and eight seas and
oceans, a vast armada of naval
vessels, light and heavy aircraft,
command vehicles and communi-
cations satellites, guidance sys-
tems as infallible as the Pope,
tracking devices blessed with the
judgement of a recording angel.
They stand as symbols represen-
tative of the divinity, absolute and
unfathomable."
George W's message as he
arrived in China recently was that
"We must unleash our military" to
protect the homeland. In short, a
firm frightening promise of fur-
ther imminent militaristic aggres-
sions against additional peaceful
states.
A friend of mine who spent a
lifetime teaching history and psy-
chology at East Stroudsburg
University says, "War fever has a
virulent quality; it becomes an
epidemic infecting everybody
except the rare few who retain
their precious independent self-
dom in order to live with some
semblance of tranquility in what
has become another country."
His concluding advice was the
"Life-affirming truth must speak
up to frenzied militarism!"
Sincerely,
Kenneth F. Emerick

Carlson Library brought back to life
by Justin Young
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Carlson Library's long
awaited reopening finally
happened March 6.
It came as a surprise to most
students, who had been hear-
ing early April as the opening
date. Students have been
flocking to the new library,
with nearly 4,000 walking
through the doors as of noon
on Monday.
Only one section of the
library is currently accessible
to the public, but the upper
and lower levels are expected
to be open by the end of the
week.
Students can soon enjoy the
library's biggest computer
lab, consisting of 40 comput-
ers, as well as, a section that
will house text books, chil-
dren's books, videocassettes,
and DVDs.
The entire building is sched-
uled to be open by April 2,
including an art gallery on

Level A.
The feedback has been "out-
standing" according to
Howard McGinn, dean of
libraries.
"I wish I had a camera when
seeing the students' and facul-
ty's faces when they walk in
here," McGinn said.
Senior Matt Swort, a com-
puter science major, was defi-
nitely impressed when he
walked into the library.
"When you first walk into
the building it feels like you
are walking into the Hilton,"
said Swort.
The first thing that one
notices when walking in is
how open the room looks and
feels.
Looking around, it is hard
not to notice the new furniture
and computers, all part of the
new equipment that cost $2
million.
McGinn believes that the
new library provides, "a beau-
tiful quiet place to study, do
research, and use computer
labs."
The library will also provide
students with the ability to

use laptop computers, both
inside and outside the build-
ing, due to the installation of
thirty seven wireless anten-
nas.
Dustin Tudor, a junior histo-
ry education major, is pleased
with the new technology.
"The computers have defi-
nitely improved, and the net-
works seem faster and more
up to date," said Tudor.
McGinn feels that students
should take advantage of the
library because it is hard to
"be successful without know-
ing how to use information."
"I want as many people to
use it as possible," said
McGinn. "It is the most attrac-
tive building on campus, and
it is designed for student use."
Many students like Anna
Goldman, a freshman sec-
ondary education math major,
enjoy the serene atmosphere
of the new library..
"It's a nice and peaceful
environment to study in," said
Goldman.
Madison slated to present workshop at NCSI
Contributed by
University Relations
Dr. Dana Madison, chair of the
computer information science
department at Clarion University,
will present a workshop at the
National Computational Science
Institute (NCSI) workshop, June 16-
22, at Ohio Supercomputer Center,
Ohio State University, Ohio.
Madison's presentation is,
"Introducation to Computational
Science Modeling and Simulation in
the Undergraduate Environment."
NCSI with funding from the
National Science Foundation is
offering a national set of in person,
video-conference, and web -accessi-
ble workshops, seminars, and sup-
port activities nationwide. With sup-
plemental funding, NCSI plans to
offer computational science work-
shops and sponsor educational activ-
ities for in-service teachers, busi-
ness and government leaders, and
the public.
NCSI participants are expected to
be prepared to help others on their
own campuses and at neighboring
institutions to introduce computa-
tional science in their own classes.
Computational science is the
newest method of doing scientific
research. Computational science,
sometimes called "modeling and
simulation," is the combination of
science, mathematics and comput-
ing.
It is used to study scientific events
that are difficult to study using "tra-
ditional" research methods because
the problems are too big or too
small, too fast or too slow, too far
away, too dangerous, or too expen-
sive.
Computational science is used in
all types of science and in areas such
as economics, linguistics (lan-
guage), history, psychology, and
sociology. In the sciences, some
types of problems studied include:
*numerical weather prediction
(NWP),
*the structure and behavior of
chemicals,
*the interactions between animals,
plants, and people in an ecosystem,
*the spread of a disease (epidemi-
ology),
■*the effect of exercise on health,
*determining correct dosages of
medicine for patients, and
*exploring the interaction of two
or more galaxies with each other.

CUP football team finally gets new pants Safety
by Robyn Hutter
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Student Senate Treasurer Tom
Clopp moved to allocate $6,000
from the Large Item Capital
account to the Clarion University
Football team for the purchase of
new football pants, pending the
approval of Dr. Diane Reinhard
during Monday night's meeting.
Mr. Robert Carlson, Director of
Athletics, and Mr. Malen Luke,
head coach, represented the foot-
ball team. Treasurer Clopp said
the football team had not pur-
chased new football pants in 12
years. The team is unable to pur-
chase new pants from their own
budget due to the frequent
replacement and reconditioning
of other equipment, such as hel-
mets and pads.
The team spends approximately
$16,000 to $20,000 a year on such
new equipment. Helmets, not
including the face mask, must be
replaced every three years due to
the policies of liability insurance.
Plus, the team spends approxi-
mately $5,000 a year on recondi-
tioning their equipment.
"Our budgets are fairly strapped
from year to year. There is not a
lot of excess in there," Carlson
said.
The team plans to purchase a
solid gold pant in a variety of
sizes. The gold pant is more cost
efficient. The current gold pants
have a blue and white stripe,
which is susceptible to fading and
tearing along the seam. The team
will continue to practice in their
old pants until they are unusable.
Student Senate passed the
motion 20-0-0 pending the
approval of Dr. Reinhard.
Treasurer Clopp also moved to
allocate $1,680 from the
Supplemental Reserve account to
the American Library Association

Annual "Biology Visit Day" entertains and informs
by Jarah Heeter
Clarion Cajl Stafr Writer
Clarion University's "Biology
Visit Day," held Thursday Feb. 7,
in Pierce Science Center, provid-
ed an entertaining and informa-
tive opportunity for potential
Clarion students as well as biolo-
gy students and faculty.
Thirty high school students and
their parents visited Clarion for
the day. The "Biology Visit Day"
is a recruiting event specifically
for showing prospective students
the biology department.
One biology student who par-
ticipated, Cheri LaFlamme, a
junior biology major, said, "It's a
good opportunity for potential
students to visit and see the biol-
ogy department and not be bom-
barded by the rest of campus."
Another biology participant,
Jami Delaney, a senior molecular
biology major, said, "I feel that
having biology day is an excel-
lent experience for potential biol-
ogy students because they have
an opportunity to interact with
biology students and professors,
see the biology department and
lab equipment, and ask questions
they have about the department
and university."
Dr. Steve Harris, chair of the
biology department, was very
pleased with the turn out and the
participation of current biology
student.
"One thing we emphasize in the
biology department is that stu-
dents go beyond classroom
work," Harris said.
He pointed out that a large part
of the event is encouraging
potential and current biology stu-
dent interaction. He noted that
biology students usually start
individual research early in their
college careers and pass on their
enthusiasm for the subject to
potential student.
"They [the current students]
enjoy participating and showing
off what the department has to
offer," Harris said. "The faculty
tries to stay out of the way and let
the biology students interact with
the potential students."
Twenty-four Clarion biology
students participated, seven as
student hosts and 17 participated
in demonstrations for the guests.
The student hosts led the visit-
ing students through the day's
events. They were Seth Brown, a
junior molecular biology major;
Delaney; Heidi Lappi, a junior
secondary education/biology
major; Carrie Martz, a senior
molecular biology major;
Heather O'Leary, a junior molec-
ular biology major; Lura
Roudybush, a sophomore biology
major; and Dan Winkle, a sopho-
more biology major.
The visitors attended demon-
strations by faculty members and
students. The students who led
demonstrations were Mark Beary,
a graduate student in science edu-
cation; Crystal Bish, a freshman
arts and sciences major; Sue
Bullington, a graduate student in
science education; Mark Demko,
a graduate student in science edu-
cation; Adam Goodwill, a senior
molecular biology major; Peter
Gramp, a senior molecular biolo-
gy major; Kristin Kalie, a junior
molecular biology major;
LaFlemme; Nicole Maholtz, a
graduate student in science edu-
cation; Jason Minnear, a senior
secondary education/biology
major; Cathy Pazsint, a senior
molecular biology major; Rob
Pica, a senior biology major;
Ryan Relich, a sophomore mole-
cular biology major; Paula
Scalise, a freshman nursing
major; Marie Schrecengost, a
junior environmental biology
major; Brian Shpakoff, a sopho-
more environmental biology
major; and Sarah Turner, a senior
biology major.
The demonstrations included
molecular biology/biotechnology,
microbiology and medical tech-
nology, physiology, ecology and
environmental biology,
biology/secondary education,
vertebrate biology, forensic sci-
ence, and herpetology (snakes).
Faculty members that led
demonstrations were Dr. Douglas
Smith, professor of biology; Dr.
Terry Morrow, professor of biolo-
gy; Dr. David Lott, professor of
biology; instructor Jackie Manno,
Dr. Peter Dalby, professor of biol-
ogy; Dr. Bruce Smith, associate
professor of science education;
assistant professor Andrew Keth,
and Harris.
The day also included a wel-
come by Harris and Dr. Hal lie
Savage, director of the Clarion
University Honors Program,
lunch at Chandler Dining Hall, a
tour of campus, and a discussion
with parents on what to look for
in college.
Tate serves as mock trial
judge at competition
by Christina Meehan
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
Dr. David Tate Jr., profes-
sor of education and
licensed attorney, will serve
as a mock trial judge during
Ohio's 19 Annual Mack
Trial competition.
High school students from
25 Ohio counties take part
in the competition. Students
have real attorneys help put
together arguments, submit
briefs and review the law
for about six to eight
months prior to the competi-
tion. Tate explains that the
experience is just like the
real thing.
"The brief is the same as
an attorney would submit,"
said Tate. "Everything has
to be authentic."
Tate's job is to decide
which group of high school
student "attorneys" win the
competition. His decision is
based upon the arguments,
briefs and the students'
knowledge of the law.
This is Tate's fifth year
serving as a mock trial
judge. He plans to continue
volunteering for a long time.
"To see thousands of
young people turnout for
this instead of something
like a dance is great," said
Tate. "It is very uplifting to
me.
Not only does volunteer-
ing for the competition
make Tate feel good, it also
helps him keep his attorney
skills sharp. After he retires
from Clarion University,
Tate plans to practice law
full-time again in
Columbus, Ohio where he
resides.
"It [the competition] helps
me keep current," said Tate.
"When students object to
something, you have to
know why. You have to
know the law."
The event will be held in
Columbus, Oh, March 14-
16, and is sponsored by the
Ohio's State Bar
Association and the Ohio
Center for Law-Related
Education. The winners will
take part in a national mock
trial competition.

Relationships between college
women and men today are charac-

This report represents the first
in-depth look at the attitudes of

Based on extensive interviews
conducted on campuses across the

with the lack of clarity on campus
when it comes to sex and reltion-
ships.
The study finds that hooking up,
a distinctive interacti(Mi between
college women and men involving
sex without commitment, is wide-
spread on campuses and pro-
foundly influences campus cul-
ture.
Forty percent of women in the
national survey said they have had
experienced a hook up, and one in
ten reported having done so more
than six times. Interestingly, those
who had hooked up reported a
range of feelings, positive and
negative, about the practice.
For example, 61 percent of col-
lege women who said that a hook
up made them feel "desirable"
also reported that it made them
feel "awkward".
Part of the awkwardness seems
to arise from not knowing what
comes next. While the widely
shared expectation on campus is
that a relationship will not develop
after a hook up, this study finds
that, nevertheless many young
women hope that it will.
Surprisingly, the study afso finds
that marriage is a major goal for
the majority of today's college
women and most would like to
meet a spouse while at collge.
Eighty-three percent of respon-
dents in the national survey agreed
that "Being married is a very
important goal for me," and 63%
agreed that 'T would like to meet
my future husband in college."
There is little consideration,
however, by either the.se students
of the adults around them of how
their current social experience
might help or hinder them in real-
izing this goal.
Led by Nerval Glenn, a sociolo-
gist at the University of Texas and
Elizabeth Marquardt, an affiliate
scholar at the Institute for
American Values, the survey was
conducted by a distinguished 16-
member research team that
includes* Judith Wallerstein, author
of The Unexpected Legacy of
Divorce, Stephen Nock of the
University of Virginia, and Amy
Kass of the University of Chicago.

Theatre review
"The Vagina Monologues" utilizes humor and tragedy
by Matthew May
Clarion Call Staff Writer
When I called the
Information Desk to ask if
there were any tickets left for
"The Vagina Monologues,"
the female receptionist replied
in a hushed voice, "Yes, there
are still tickets for "The
Monologues." The
'Monologues?' I thought that
must have been the hip way to
talk about the show until I
bought the ticket for it, and
saw how much the young
woman I had spoken to on the
phone hated me saying the
word "vagina."
And that's perhaps why Eve
Ensler's Obie Award-winning
play, "The Vagina
Monologues," which took
place on March 12 and 13 at
8:00 p.m. gets so much atten-
tion. It flies in the face of all
those who find the mention of
vaginas to be taboo. The
shock value and bluntness of
the play didn't end with the
title; it was just the beginning.
Sponsored by the Clarion
University Women's Studies
Program, S.T.A.R. (Students
Together Against Rape), the
Clarion Sexual Assault
Network, and the Clarion
University Presidential
Commission on the Status of
Women, "The Vagina
Monologues" took the audi-
ence, both female and male,
on a journey into womanhood
through the most mysterious
and paradoxical part of a
woman: her vagina.
Director Rebecca
Weinheimer-Anderson and her
eclectic cast did a simply
amazing job with Ensler's 90-
minute production based on
the experiences of the more
than 200 women Ensler inter-
viewed about their most pri-
vate part.
The cast of women, appear-
ing on the stage alone most of
the time, in groups a few other
times, each gave strong per-
formances true to their char-
acters and enthralling the
audience. Surprisingly, over
two-thirds of these actresses
weren't even theater majors.
Unfortunately, the poor con-
struction of the program
makes it almost impossible to
place the names of the actress-
es in their performances.
The play itself is brilliant in
mixing comedy into an often-
times serious, insightful con-
text. The key to the play was
that the character was put
alone on stage with the audi-
ence. Many of the character
monologues were combina-
tions of whimsy and tragedy.
It began with a woman talk-
ing about her husband wanti-
ng her to shave "down there,"
and blamed her refusal to do
so for his affairs. It continued
with an elderly woman who
could barely talk about her
vagina; recalling a lifetime of
shame because of her first
teenage sexual experience.
Then came a British woman
who reconnected with herself
through a workshop lying on a
mat staring in amazement of
her vagina in a mirror.
Some of the most hilarious
performances were by charac-
ters like 'The Angry Vagina'
who ranted about subjects like
dry tampons, gynecological
exams and hygiene sprays
with floral scents that seemed
only to exist to torture
women. Then came the char-
acter who loved the unprint-
able word for vagina. She
was outdone by the lesbian
dominatrix sex worker who
entertained the audience by
demonstrating her extensive
knowledge of women's
moans.
The outrageous fun was bal-
anced with characters that
were tragic and controversial.
The Bosnian woman whose
vagina was her village, pil-
laged and ravaged by soldiers
and the girl deflowered and
supposedly liberated by a
twenty-something lesbian are
just two examples of such
characters.
Also adding to the balance
of the play were women's
responses to offbeat questions
shown through a video mon-
tage between the characters'
monologues. Some of the
questions were about what
each woman's vagina would
say if it could talk or what her
vagina would wear if it wore
clothes.
This show wasn't just for
women. Men, particularly
those who say they don't
understand women, can learn
greatly from an up-front pro-
duction of this caliber. Of
course, they may end up
learning more than they ever
wanted about their female
counterparts.
Overall, "The Vagina
Monologues" was highly
entertaining while being
insightful and informative for
both women and men. If you
were one of the lucky ones to
see it, then you witnessed one
of the best performances to
take place on the Clarion cam-
pus. If not, then I recommend
you get tickets if it's per-
formed on campus again.

40 Days... provides raunchy, but good-natured fun
by Brad Hemmings
Clarion Call Staff Writer
No sex for 40 days. No kissing
or touching. Not even to yourself.
Sound impossible? If you're a
man, and you're not stone dead,
the answer is undoubtedly "yes."
But. while it sounds like a formi-
dable challenge in real life, the
idea doesn't exactly seem as
though it would make a very inter-
esting movie. Let's guess what's
gonna happen - guy swears off sex
for lent, has trouble following
through with his vow, and funny
antics ensue.
Not unexpectedly, that's exactly
what does happen in the latest
teenage comedy, 40 Days And 40
Nights. But what did come as a
bit of a surprise was to find a
much funnier movie than most of
the tiresome slop movie studios
throw at teenagers. Even with a
paper-thin, ridiculous plot and an
even lamer title, 40 Days And 40
Nights somehow manages to pro-
vide a very amusing, playful com-
edy. The entertainment is partial-
ly provided by the movie's will-
ingness to shock and even offend
the viewer.
There are plenty of blatant sex-
ual acts that would be rather
embarrassing to watch while sit-

ting next to a grandmother or
priest. The movie has no shame in
showing an ample amount of
naked women - on the bus, at a
sidewalk cafe, and of course in the
bedroom. And there's no hiding
the guys who walk around with
obvious, shall we say "attraction,"
for the many scantily clad women.
There's even a fake orgasm rival-
ing Meg Ryan's from When Harry
Met Sally, produced not by a
woman, but by leading man Josh
Hartnett.
Hartnett stars as Matt Sullivan, a
sex-a-holic that ranks with the
likes of Wilt Chamberlain.
Somehow, he can stammer a few
unintelligible words to a woman
and have her itching to jump his
guns. After sleeping with count-
less gorgeous girls since breaking
up with the love of his life. Matt
decides the only way he can end
his sexual frustration (why exact-
ly is he frustrated again?) is to
stop all sexual activities for 40
days. This, of course, leads to the
fateful meeting with his perfect
girl.
Shannyn Sossamon plays Erica,
the answer to Matt's se^iual long-
ing. With the help of absolutely
nobody. Matt works his way
though 40 days as friends, co-
workers, family and roommates
attempt to destroy his vow to win
a large amount of money in an
office bet. While a newly pubes-
cent 14 year-old could have writ-
ten the story, the humor is rather
adult-oriented.
Boobs, sex and erections are
practically the only topics the
movie even bothers to discuss, but
if I had to pick three things to talk
about, I can't think of anything
better. The no-holds-barred sexu-
ality and mass amount of
Hollywood's hottest extras pro-
vides an ample amount of eye
candy to keep viewers interested
and not thinking about how stupid
and unlikely the scenarios are.
The major downfall of the movie
is its futile attempt to set fashion
trends. When Erica and Matt first
meet, she looks more like a young-
paperboy, ready to ask if you'd
like the late edition. Several times
she's seen wearing a hat I think I
just found in the back of my
grandfather's closet, and when
she's not wearing it, she spikes
her hair wildly enough to impress
a young Cyndi Lauper.
Just as bad is Matt's greasy mop
that makes him look as if he has-
n't even heard of shampo j, let
alone used it. The stars of the
movie are hot enough as they are.
Please, let it he that way. The
sock on the arm thing looked
ridiculous on Britney, and every-
one knew it, so nobody copied it.
Take that as an example, and stop
trying to be trendy.
Forget the plot. Forget about the
crummy fashion. Forget that vir-
tually every scene is totally
implausible, and seems more like
something out of a teenager's hor-
monal fantasy. Thanks to Hartnett
and Sossamon's charming charac-
ters coupled with some of the
most awkward love scenes in
.recent memoVy, 40 Days And 40
Nights provides a greatly needed
return to teenage comedies that
are actually funny.

Harlem Globetrotters bring March Madness to Clarion
story courtesy of
University Relations
It's hard to believe its been
three years since the fabu-
lous Harlem Globetrotters
graced Waldo S. Tippin
Gymnasium.
Well they're coming back!
The Famous Harlem
Globetrotters and the 2002
World Tour will be at Clarion
University's Waldo S. Tippin
Gymnasium on Thursday,
March 14th. Show time is set
for 7:00pm.
Tickets for the show will
be $17 General Admission
for the lower level at Tippin
Gym, and $12 for the upper
section. Discounts are avail-
able including $2 off for
youths 12 and under and
adults age 60 and over.
Those discounts are avail-
able at all ticket locations. A
$3 discount coupon is also
available at the Clarion
Burger King at Exit 62 off I-
80, but cannot be combined
with any other discount.
Tickets will go on sale
starting Friday, February 8th
at Noon at the Clarion
University Ticket Office
(located in the Gemmell
Center), Dan Estadt's
Sports, New Bethlehem Bank
and Farmers National Bank
in Downtown Clarion, and
Farmers National Bank in the
Clarion Mall. Information
on tickets is available by
calling 814-393-2704.
"We are really excited to
have the Harlem
Globetrotters coming back
to Clarion University," said
Athletic Director Bob
Carlson. "I've been here for
the shows of 1999 and 1990
and it is a great night for the
whole family. We hope
you'll start making plans
now to come and have a
great time."
For seven generations the
Globetrotters have brought
smiles and laughter to fami-
lies and fans by displaying
their athletic ability, comedy
routines, and amazing trick
shots.
The Clarion presentation
by the Globetrotters is
expected to have a team led
by Paul "Showtime" Gaffney
and Matthew "Showbiz"
Jackson, two of the funniest
and creative showmen in the
75-year history of the orga-
nization. Other standouts
include Curley "Boo"
Johnson, Michael "Wild
Thing" Wilson (the current
world record holder in the
vertical slam dunk at 12
feet), and Orlando
"Hurricane" Antigua, the
first Globetrotter of Latin
descent and a former
University of Pittsburgh star.
The show also has 7-foot
center "Shark" Tserenjanhor
from Mongolia. Clarion fans
will also remember "Sweet"
Lou Dunbar who dazzled the
Clarion crowd in 1990 and is
expected to make a return
appearance in his new role as
player-coach and
Globetrotter Ambassador.
CLARION NOTES: The
Globetrotters last appeared
at Tippin Gym on February
24, 1999 and January 21,
1990.
Student-produced Second Series returns this semester
story courtesy of
University Relations
The Clarion University Second
Series will present the play
"Eleemosynary" by Lee Blessing,
March 22-23 at 8 p.m. in Hart
Chapel. The play is free and open
to the public.
The play is directed by freshman
Melissa Lynch. The production is
completely student originated and
staged.
"Eleemosynary," the Latin word
for charitable, examines the rela-
tionship of three women:
Dorothea, the grandmother, who
asserts her independence through
strong-willed eccentricity; Artie
(Artemis), her daughter, who flees
the domination of her mother; and
Echo, Artie's child, who she has
abandoned to Dorothea's upbring-
ing.
"I selected this play because it
explores the relationships
between mothers and daughters,"
says Lynch. "On the surface, the
characters appear to be anything
by charitable toward each other,
but in actuality, they truly are.
Although they are greatly familiar
with the English language, they
often have difficulty expressing
their love for each other. I have
found that this is most often true
among mother-daughter relation-
ships."
Lynch, a freshman theatre
major, is a daughter of Michael
and Madeline Lynch of
Philadelphia and is a graduate of
St. Huberts Catholic School for
Girls. She is directing a cast that
includes:
Mary Boldish as Dorothea.
Boldish, a freshman theatre major,
is a daughter of Nancy Boldish of
Sharpsville and is a graduate of
Sharpsville High School.
Mandy Joe as Artie. Joe, a

Music Review
Basking in the glow of the Sunshine Fix
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
ARTIST/ALBUM: The
Sunshine Fix, Age Of The Sun.
FOR FANS OF: Whimsical,
light-hearted psychedelic pop;
60's songwriting.
FOR FURTHER LISTENING:
Olivia Tremor Control's Black
Foliage: Animation Music Vol. /;
The Circulatory System's selfti-
tled debut; The Apples (In
Stereo) 's Tone Soul Evolution.
The ancient Egyptians believed
in many gods, foremost among
them Ra, the ruler of all other
supreme beings, and custodian of
the sun. The sun itself was wor-
shipped and regarded as a super-
natural force, and all temples con-
tained a shrine to the sun, Ra, or
both.
I'm no scholar on Egyptian his-
tory, however, so I really have no
idea what sort of music was uti-
lized in ceremonies and rituals,
but whatever that spirit of awe
and adoration was. The Sunshine
Fix have surely tapped into it.
Age Of The Sun is the debut
album from The Sunshine Fix,
the brainchild of Bill Doss, for-
merly of the Olivia Tremor
Control, masters of the slightly
unhinged psych-pop song in the
90s.
After OTC unfortunately
imploded a year or two back,
leader Will Cullen Hart formed
the more cerebral-minded
Circulatory System. Doss went
off to spawn The Sunshine Fix,
keeping true to OTC's love of
garage psychedelia and immacu-
late hooks, but minus the schizo-
phrenic noodling and sound col-
lages.
Many hallmarks of a classic
OTC album are contained within
Age Of The Sun; sing-song
melodies and gloriously off-kilter
Beach Boys harmonies, punchy
organ swells and fuzz guitar out-
bursts, drumming that seems mar-
tial and playful at once, and a
druggy sense of lacadasial won-
derment than underpins the whole
affair.
With Age Of The Sun, much of
that wonderment is directed at
one target. Yep, you guessed it -
the sun. It's in the name of both
the band and album, the titles and
lyrics of nearly every cut off the
record, and spheres, sundials and
the fiery ball of gas itself adorn
the album's artwork.
While this may seem like a cun-
ning attempt at a concept album.
Doss doesn't have the lyrical abil-
ity to keep it fresh throughout the
album's duration, and the clever
more than a tan this summer?

sun puns get rather cold about
halfway through Age Of The Sun.
Too much sun can be detrimental
to your health, you know.
"Everything in moderation" is a
motto that Doss would do well to
learn and follow.
And where does that leave him
and his bandmates for a sopho-
more album? Switch their name
to The Moonshine Fix?' (It
might provide an interesting
cover of "Moondance" or "Blue
Moon," if nothing else.)
Doss' lyrical and thematic mis-
steps aside. Age Of The Sun is a
delightful effort, certainly not
spectacular by anyone's standards
(particularly OTC's), but it can be
an enjoyable funhouse of quirky
twists, turns and indelible hooks.
The phased, echoed vocal that
kicks off the album in "Age Of
The Sun" thrusts you into the
outer limits as a watery guitar
warbles around your headspace,
slowly giving way to a more
earthy electric guitar, terse drums
and spot-on vocal harmonies
extolling the virtues of that big
ball of gas in the sky.
Flowing into the slight instru-
mental passage, "Ultraviolet
Orchestra," Age Of The Sun real-
ly kicks into high gear with "That
Ole Sun," an irresistible slice of
fizzy sonic perfection that builds
from an aimless bit of jamming
into a sunny-side-up ode to opti-
mism that's sure to brmg a smile
to your face. "Everyone says the
world can be too much, and
sometimes I agree. ..but then I
awake to find that 'ole sun's come
up anyway," Doss informs us as
his eclectic band molds a fantas-
tic pastoral pop song behind him.
"That Ole Sun" beats the Apples
(In Stereo) at their own game.
"Everything Is Waking" switch-
es gears for a little bit; still every
bit as memorable, but following a
more sedate path, as an almost
dreary guitar overcasts the sky in
muted gray.
"A Better Way To Be" continues
in that vein, as the vocal har-
monies become less transcendent,
and more mournful, also intro-
ducing a horn section that bleats
away an ode to a brighter day.
The Sunshine Fix never loses
sight of their original intent, how-
ever, and the main goal of this
album is pleasant melodies.
"Digging To China" is excellent
in this regard, with it's 70's AM
rock piano/guitar juxtaposition
and jubilant lyrics.
"See Yourself," however, takes
this to the extreme, kicking off
with a just plain goofy synthesiz-
er noise, and devolving into a
truly annoying vocal line with
cheesy handclaps. Throw in a
truly forced chorus, and you've
got one of the album's two real
stinkers (we'll get to the next
later).
The album winds down with a
few wispy ballads, including "72
Years" and the superior "Sail
Beyond The Sunset," while lack-
ing in lyrical substance, sports a
nice framework.
Age Of The Sun would have
ended nicely enough with the
short vignette "Cycles Of Time,"
but instead, Mr. Doss has decided
to unleash one of the most unholy
beasts ever heard by human ears.
The album's closer, "Le Roi-
Soleil," is twenty minutes long,
and consists solely of the word
"sun." Not "sun" repeated over
and over, but one utterance of it,
with the middle looped and
stretched to the twenty-minute
mark. Pointless and annoying to
the point of pain.
If Doss could have just held his
imagination in check a tad. Age
Of The Sun could have been a
spectacular album. As it stands,
it's an enjoyable footnote to any
Olivia Tremor Control fan's col-
lection. But if you're a newbie to
them, I strongly suggest picking
up either Black Foliage or their
debut. Dusk At Cubist Castle
(hell, even the Circulatory
System) before venturing into
The Sunshine Fix's world. 3 out
of 5 stars.

Super-size your french fries with this column
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
The Surgeon General has
released yet another report warn-
ing Americans that we're fat.
That's what your modern
Surgeon General does: Issue warn-
ings. He sees danger lurking
everywhere. Years ago, the
Surgeon General was more laid-
back; his staff often found him
passed out under his desk at 2:30
in the afternoon, reeking of cigars
and bourbon. He would go for
years at a stretch without issuing a
warning. Back then, Americans
felt free to smoke, eat fatty foods,
drink liquor and drive cars without
seat belts, often all at the same
time. Granted, most of them died
by age 32. But they were carefree.
Today, of course, we have vigi-
lant health authorities notifying us
hourly that pretty much everything
we do is fatal. And so we have the
Surgeon General coming out with
yet another official report — titled
"Americans: What a Bunch of
Whales" — which contains these
shocking statistics:
¥ 61 percent of all adult
Americans are overweight.
¥ One of these Americans always
sits next to me on the airplane.
¥ This f)erson uses 140 percent of
the armrest.
¥ Americans don't really under-
stand percentages, either.
What is causing these problems?
For one thing, the Surgeon
General notes, many schools no
longer require students to take
Physical Education. This is a
crime. When I was a student, RE.
class was MANDATORY, with
each class lasting 45 minutes, bro-
ken down as follows:
¥ Changing into gym uniforms:
16 minutes.
¥ Roll call, which always indi-
cated perfect attendance because
somebody shouted "Here!" in
response to every name called,
despite the fact that roughly 30
percent of the class was actually
out behind the gym smoking ciga-
rettes: 12 minutes.
¥ "Jumping Jacks": 2 minutes.
¥ Taking showers, snapping each
other with towels, changing back
to civilian clothes, causmg life-
time psychic damage to some
unfortunate student by shoving
him out into the hallway stark
naked except for an athletic sup-
porter on his head: 15 minutes.
Yes, it was a demanding physical
regimen, and we followed it
TWICE A WEEK. Little wonder
that we brought the Soviet Union
to its knees. So I totally agree with
the Surgeon General about bring-
ing back mandatory P.E. And not
just for students. Cabinet members
should also be included.
Where I do NOT agree with the
Surgeon General is on his dietary
recommendations. He's upset that
Americans do not follow the
Department of Agriculture's Food
Guide Pyramid, which tells you in
detail how many cups of whole
grains, raw leafy vegetables,
yogurt, etc. you're supposed to
consume per day based on your
age, weight, number of teeth, etc.
Let me respond, on behalf of all
Americans, by suggesting, in the
politest way possible, that the
Surgeon General should go sit on
the Food Guide Pyramid. Because
out here in the real world, we do
not carry cups around with us. nor
do we encounter "whole grains,"
whatever THEY are. Here in the
real world, we face dietary deci-
sions such as: Do we want the
Hungry Human Burger 'n" Bacon
'n' Cheese 'n' Egg 'n' Sausage 'n'
Slab o' Lard Combo Deluxe with a
large order of fries? Or with a
REALLY large order of fries?
Yes, real Americans need a more
effective dietary aid than the Food
Guide Pyramid. Here's my idea:
We should use farmers. Lord
knows we pay them enough. In the
past five years, the Department of
Agriculture paid 92 BILLION
TAXPAYER-SUPPLIED DOL-
LARS in subsidies to farmers,
including such hardscrabble sons
of the soil as (I am not making this
up) Scottie Pippen, who makes
$18 million a year playing basket-
ball, and who got $131,575 in
farm subsidies; and Ted Turner,
who is worth more than $6 billion,
and who got $176,077 in subsi-
dies.
So here's my proposal: Any
farmer who (a) receives taxpayer
money, and (b) is worth more than
$1 million, should be required to
spend 10 hours per week actively
preventing taxpayers from canng
St) much. Picture the scene: You're
in the convenience store. You urab
a package of Ht)stess brand r)mg
Dongs. You're heading for the
checkout counter, and . . . B.\M,
you're grabbed from behinti by
Ted Turner! So you turn around
and whomp him on the head with
a l6-ounce jar of Kraft brand
jalape-o-tlavored Cheez Whiz. As
he goes down like a sack of whole
grain, you grab a bottle of Yoo-hoo
brand Yoo-hoo, pay the cashier,
and lumber out of the store.
That's how I'd handle this
national weight problem. I have
plenty of other ideas for improving
our health, so if the Surgeon
General is reading this: Sir, please
feel free to get in touch. You can
reach me under my desk.

Clarion men fall during PSAC PlayoflF opening round
by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Call Sports Editor
The Clarion University's
men's basketball team traveled
to Indiana (lUP) for the opening
round of the 2002 PSAC
Playoffs on Tuesday night (Feb.
26th). The Eagles played a hard
game, but fell short of advanc-
ing with a final score of 55-62.
Last year, Clarion opened the
PSAC Playoffs as the #3 seed
and traveled to lUP (#2 seed) in
the first round and upset the
Indians 79-73 at Memorial Field
House. The Eagles used the
momentum to go on and defeat
Bloomsburg (70-65) in the
PSAC Semi's and West Chester
(80-77 in overtime) in the finals
to win the school's first ever
PSAC Championship.
On Tuesday night the Golden
Eagles (15-10 overall, 7-5
PSAC-West) attempted a repeat
of last year's performance. This
year. Clarion is seeded at #4.
Clarion and lUP split the two
regular season meetings previ-
ously this year. lUP notched a
72-67 win Jan. 19 at lUP and
Clarion held its own version of
the home court advantage with
an 82-71 victory on Feb. 16th at
the Waldo S. Tippin Gym.
However, lUP was ready for the
Eagles during this final match,
shutting them down 55-62.
Just like the previous games
against lUP, this was another
exciting one. lUP had an out-
standing team this season with
great size and athletic ability,
coupled with strong guard play
has making them one of the top
teams in the Region all season
long.
Clarion's plan of action
against lUP was to try and neu-
tralize their inside game while
also playing their guards tough.
The Golden Eagles played a
strong overall game on the
Indians' home court, but fell
short of a win.
Leading the Golden Eagles for
the 2002 season in the back-
court were guards Rollie Smith
and Steve Serwatka. Smith, a
junior, averaged 12.9 points per
game, led the team in assists
with 122, and shot 82% from the
free throw line and 40% from
the three-point line.
Serwatka was Clarion's leading
scorer averaging 17.2 points per
game, shooting 40% from the
three-point line and a PSAC
leading 91% from the free throw
line. Serwatka, in only two years
has now totaled 1,015 points,
becoming the first player in
school history to reach the mark
in only two seasons.
The front line men for the
2002 season were forwards
David Shearer and Allen
Stevens, along with center Dale
Thomas. Shearer, although
injured much of the season,
averaged 9.5 points per game,
7.2 rebounds, 73% from the foul
line and ranked second in the
entire PSAC in steals per game
(2.1).
Stevens was second on the
team in scoring with 14.6 points
per game, while also chipping in
with 5.5 rebounds and shooting
nearly 50% from the floor.
Thomas, a graduate student
and transfer from Middle
Tennessee State, got 10.4 points
per game and 7.2 rebounds for
the Golden Eagles.
Shearer (1,246), Stevens
(1,185) and Serwatka (1,015)
were Clarion's three players
over 1,000 career points, which
is the first time in school history
that three teammates have been
over 1,000 career points at the
same time.
Key players off the bench for
the Golden Eagles were Dereck
Rankin (5.0 points per game, 2.4
assists per game), Terrance
Stokes (3.7 points per game, 3.0
rebounds per game), Justin
Kreefer (2.6 points per game)
and Stephen Nesmith (1.8 points
per game, 1.4 rebounds per
game).
lUP was led by forwards
Dennis Mims and Leon Piper,
along with Fannar Olafsson in
the front court, and guards Wes
Layton and Aaron Faulkner.
Mims averaged 16.7 points per
game this season and led the
entire PSAC in rebounds with
11.2 per game. He also had 72
blocked shots and shot 60.5%

from the floor.
Piper averaged 12.9 points per
game and ranked fourth in the
PSAC getting 8.2 rebounds per
game. Olafsson averaged 8
points per game, and ranked
ninth in rebounding at 7.4 per
game.
Layton and Faukner set up the
lUP offense. Layton led the
team with 112 assists and nets
8.3points per game, while
Faulkner took second on the
team in scoring with 15.9 points
per game. He also dished out
1 10 assists and led the team with
51 steals this season. Keenan
Holmes (6.6 points per game),
Felix Davilla (4.9 points per
game, 4.0 rebounds) and Sean
Whalen (6.4points per game)
also contributed. Whalen ranked
second in the PSAC shooting
46.4% from the three point line.
lUP went on to face
California for the final round of
the PSAC playoffs. lUP scored
the last 12 points of the game to
upend California, 71-68, in the
PSAC mens basketball champi-
onship game Sunday afternoon
at (^heyney University's Cope
Hall.
Three Eagles make PSAC-West All-Conference Team
Courtesy of Sports
Information
Three Clarion University mens
basketball players have been
named to the 2001-02 PSAC-
West All-Conference Team.
Senior Allen Stevens
(Philadelphia/Roman Catholic)
was named First Team All-
Conference, while seniors David
Shearer (Greensburg/Hempfield)
and Steve Serwatka (New
Rochelle, NY/Salesian) were
named Second Team All-
Conference.
"I am very happy for all three
players," Clarion head coach Dr.
Ron Righter said. "All three of
them are very deserving of the
recognition. They have been a
key part of the foundation for
some really exciting and win-
ning moments in their time here
including the school's first-ever
PSAC Championship last year."
Stevens finished the season as
the second-leading scorer on the
team and 10th leading scorer in
the PSAC-West averaging 14.3
points per game to go along with
5.7 rebounds per game.
In his career, Stevens had
1,192 career points and 521
career rebounds and was only the
13th player in school history to
score 1,000 career points while
grabbing 500 career rebounds.
He is 17th in career scoring and
20th in career rebounding in
school history.
"This is the first time Allen has
been recognized by the confer-
ence," Righter said. "That shows
how far he has come. I couldn't
be happier for him."
Shearer had a good year for the
Golden Eagles despite playing
with a stress fracture in his foot
all season. He averaged 9.1
points per game and a team-best
7.2 rebounds per game, which
was good for 12th in the PSAC
and fifth in the PSAC-West.
Shearer finished his career as
one of the top players in Clarion
history scoring 1,248 points
while pulling down 794
rebounds and gathering 215
career steals. He is the fifth
player in school history to score
1,200 career points and grab 700
career rebounds, and he finished
12th in school history in scoring
and seventh in rebounding.
"David was a blue-collar play-
er for us for four years," Righter
said. "His performance this sea-
son despite the stress fracture
tells anyone all they need to
know about him."
Serwatka had an outstanding
two-year career at Clarion: This
season he led the team in scoring
with 17.5 points per game which
was good for fourth in the PSAC
and second in the PSAC-West.
He also shot a phenomenal
91.7% from the free-throw line
(66-72), which was the top mark
in the PSAC this season and the
second-best mark in NCAA
Division II. The 91.7 % also set
the school record breaking the
mark of 87.4% set by Alvin
Gibson.
In his two years playing for the
Golden Eagles, Serwatka scored
1,041 career points, the 23rd best
mark in school history. He is the
first player at Clarion to play
only two seasons and score
1,000 career points and only the
second Golden Eagle to score his
1,000th career point in his sec-
ond season joining Kwame
Morton, the school's all-time
leading scorer. Serwatka's career
free-throw percentage of 86.1%
is also a school record.
"Steve was a tremendous play-
er for us the last two .seasons,"
Righter said. "He was one of the
reasons we have been able to
enjoy so much success."
Clarion finished the season 15-
11 and qualified for the PSAC
playoffs for the sixth straight
season.

Spring will be in the air for the
Clarion University softball team
when it starts its 2002 season
Sunday, Feb. 23, at Florida
Southern.
The Golden Eagles will then
play three other Florida schools
before starting their Spring Break
games March 1 at Fort Myers.
Clarion will play eight games in
Fort Myers and will return home
to host Lemoyne College at 1 p.m.
March 16.
"Florida is a chance for us to get
our feet wet and a chance for us to
learn," second-year head coach
Ron Baum said. "We expect to
make mistakes, but as long as we
learn from them we will be
alright."
The 2002 version of the Golden
Eagles will be a team that mixes
experience with youth. Clarion
has nine players back from last
season who saw considerable
playing time including Nicole
Furnia (Skaneateles.
NY/Skaneateles), Erin Gallagher
(Enola/East Pennsboro), Shintrika
Hudson (Dayton/Dayton), Leslie
Mills (Pittsburgh/North
Allegheny), Kim Overholt (Wind
Gap/Pen Argyl), Jennifer Reis
(AUentown/Louis E. Dieruff),
Emily Sowers
(Manchester/Northeastern),
Allison Stodart
(Madera/Moshannon Valley) and
Jessica Waldman (Cogan
Station/Williamsport). A 10th
player. Angle Allgeier
(Erie/Mercyhurst Prep), saw lim-
ited action last season but could
get more playing time in 2002.
The Golden Eagles will be with-
out three of its returning players,
Waldman, Stodart and Sowers, at
the start of the season. Waldman
is a member of Clarion's Diving
team, Stodart is a member of the
Women's Basketball team and
Sowers is out with an injury.
In addition to the returning play-
ers, Baum believes he has a good
group of first-year players coming
in to help the Golden Eagles
improve on last season's 14-24
overall record including a 5-15
mark in the always tough PSAC-
West.
"1 am excited about the new
players coming in to go along
with a good nucleus returning
from last season," Baum said.
"But we are going to need our
experience to lead the way. If it
doesn't it will put a lot of pressure
on our youth."
According to Baum, the Golden
Eagles have set some goals for
themselves this year to help them
improve.
"We want to take games one
inning at a time," Baum said. "If
mistakes are made we need to for-
get them and fix the problem the
next time. We also want to win
more of our one-run games, and
we want to end the season at .500
or better."
In order for the Golden Eagles
to achieve their goals. Clarion's
pitching staff will have to perform
at a high level. Luckily for the
Golden Eagles, the pitching staff
is one of the team's strengths with
Reis, Overholt and Stodart all
returning from last season.
"We have a solid three-some
coming back," Baum said. "They

7- 12 with a 2.34 ERA. She had 65
strikeouts while walking only 42.
Stodart, a junior, pitched in nine
games and was a hard-luck pitch-
er going 1-7 despite a 1.92 ERA
and a 5-2 (50-to-20) strikeout to
walk ratio. Reis, a sophomore,
appeared in eight games and was
2-2 with a 3.75 ERA. She had 11
strikeouts while walking six.
"All three of them are going to
show what they learned from last
year to this year," Baum said.
"Kim is coming off a solid season,
while Ali is a very good pitcher
and once she gets into a groove
she is as good as anyone. Jen is a
hard worker who is coming off a
fall."
At the start of the season, the
pitchers will be throwing to a new
battery mate as last year's starter
at catcher. Sowers, will miss the
Florida trip with her injury. In her
place, Hudson, a junior, and
Kristin Klinger (Snow Shoe/Bald
Eagle), will share the catching
duties.
"Both are very athletic and
sound players," Baum said. "They
have been doing a great job in
practice, and they will be helped
by our experienced pitching
staff."
Hudson is a converted outfield-
er who started all 38 games for the
Golden Eagles last year hitting
.238 with four doubles and five
RBI's. She led the team with eight
stolen bases and will be the lead-
off hitter for Clarion in 2002.
Klinger is a freshman who could
be a 3-4 hitter for the Golden
Eagles. She is a solid hitter and a
steady player according to Baum.
"I will platoon them at catcher,"
Baum said. "When one isn't
catching she will be playing short-
stop and vise- versa."
While both Hudson and Klinger
should be steady performers at
catcher for Clarion, the Golden
Eagles will benefit from the return
of Sowers who hit .270 a year ago
with 10 extra base hits including a
team-high four home runs. She
also led the team in RBI's with 18.
In addition to Hudson or Klinger
at shortstop, the Golden Eagles
infield with consist of freshman
Christina Allendorfer

Sophomore Jen Reis is a returning 'pitcher for ttie 2002 sea-
son.
and Mills, a junior, at third base.
Gallagher started 22 games for
the Golden Eagles in 2001 and hit
. 145 with one home run and seven
RBI's, while Mills started 37
games and hit .140 with one dou-
ble, one triple and 10 RBI's.
"Erin has good range at second
base, and her bat is coming
along," Baum said. "Leslie is a
strong defensive player, and she is
hitting better."
According to Baum, Allendorfer
is a strong fundamental player and
a good hitter.
"She does the little things right,"
Baum said. "She has a nice glove
and is a very vocal leader. We
need her to be a middle of the
line-up hitter for us."
Clarion's outfield will be young
to start out with Furnia, a sopho-
more, the only returning player
who will start in the outfield at the
beginning of the Florida trip.
Furnia, who will be in leftfield,
played in 10 games with four
starts last year and had one hit in
15 at bats.
"Nicole is a smart ball player,"
Baum said. "She is steady on
defense. The key for her will be
her bat."
Freshman Valerie Devine
(Pittsburgh/Plum) will get the
start in centerfield for the Golden
Eagles, while sophomore April
Sallee (Henderson, NV/Goddard),
a transfer from Patten College,
will start in rightfield.
"Valerie has good speed that
allows her to go get anything in
the outfield," Baum said. "On
offense she will bat second and is
very capable of moving runners
into scoring position, which will
be a key for us.
"April is a four or five hitter
who has a strong arm. We are
expecting good things from her."
The Golden Eagles outfield will
get an influx of experience when
Waldman returns from diving and
Stodart from basketball.
Waldman, a junior who was the
PSAC-West "Rookie of the Year"
in 2000, hit .266 last season with
six double, four RBI's and four
stolen bases.
"Jessica has strong fundamen-
tals," Baum said. "She is a good
hitter with a strong glove."
Stodart, who played first base
last season, will see time in the
outfield this year as well as pitch-
ing. In her first season of colle-
giate Softball last year, she hit
.274 with two doubles and five
RBI's.
"Ali is a key hitter for us," Baum
said. "She will see a lot of playing
time when she returns from the
basketball playoffs."

Clarion University's Christina
Lantz and Heather Cigich have
been chosen to the 2001-02
PSAC-West Women's Basketball
All-Conference Team after out-
standing seasons.
Lantz, a senior from Rockford,
Ohio and Parkway High School,
was selected to the PSAC-West
First Team, while Cigich, a fresh-
man from Davidsville and
Conemaugh Twp. High School, is
on the PSAC-West Second Team.
"I am really happy for both play-
ers," Clarion head coach Margaret
"Gie" Parsons said. "This is the
first time in several years that we
have had more than one player
selected as a PSAC All-
Conference performer."
The leading scorer for the
Golden Eagles and the fourth
leading scorer in the PSAC this
past season, Lantz averaged 17.2
points per game to go along with
7.6 rebounds per game, which
was good for 15th in the PSAC
and eighth in the PSAC-West. She

during the season and scored in
double figures in 24 of Clarion's
27 games. She had a season-high
32 points in a win over Mansfield
Dec. 1. She also scored 25 points
twice and 20 or more points eight
times.
A transfer from Dodge City
(Kan.) Community College, Lantz
played two years and three games,
her 1999-00 season was cut short
after three games because of an
injury, for the Golden Eagles and
finished her career 17th on the
school's all-time scoring list with
797 career points. Her 464 points
this season rank seventh in a sin-
gle season in school history.
"I wish we could keep CJ for
another year or two," Parsons
said. "We will miss her on and off
the court."
Cigich had an outstanding fresh-
man campaign for the Golden
Eagles averaging 12.0 points per
game and 9.3 rebounds per game.
She ranked 20th in the PSAC and
12th in the PSAC-West in scoring
and sixth in the PSAC and fifth in
the PSAC-West in rebounding.
She had 13 double-doubles this
season and scored in double digits
20 times. She scored a game-high
20 points twice (12/2 -
Bloomsburg and 1/16 against
Edinboro) and had a season-high
14 rebounds Feb. 2 against
Shippensburg.
Cigich 's 241 rebounds in 2001-
02 were the 13th most in a single
season in school history and the
fourth most by a freshman in
school history. Cigich's 312
points this season were the fourth
most in a single season by a fresh-
man in school history, while her
83.2 percent (89-107) free-throw
shooting percentage was the sec-
ond best single-season mark in
school history.
"We are excited that Heather
will be around for three more
years," Parsons said. "She was
one of the best freshman in the
league."
Lantz and Cigich teamed up to
help the Golden Eagles to 12-15
overall record and a 6-6 mark in
the PSAC-West that included
Clarion's first PSAC Playoff berth
since the 1996-97 season.

Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief
The Clarion University Federal Credit
Union and members of the Student
Senate Student Facilities Committee are
investigating the possibility of offering
banking services to students.
The addition, however, would mean
the Credit Union would have to move to
a new location, according to
Pennsylvania State Employees Credit
Union (PSECU) standards, said Alice
Swartzfager. Credit Union Manager and
Financial Officer.
"They've already told us that we don't
have enough space to accommodate the
addition of students," said Swartzfager.
To meet requirements, the Credit
Union would need one more teller, and
additional space for storage and equip-
ment.
One of the spaces that could be avail-
able is room 152 in Gemmell, the for-
mer weight room. The room was hous-
ing library books during the library ren-
ovation.
According to Senate Student Facilities
Chair, Rebecca Emert, Student Senate
conducted a survey in which they asked
the students what they would like to see
done with the room. Emert said that the
most popular responses included sug-
gestions of a game room or a movie the-
ater.
Swartzfager said the Credit Union
also conducted a survey in Gemmell

"The students on the whole responded
well to our survey." said Swartzfager.
Emert said her committee isn't dis-
counting the idea of the credit union.
"We just want something that would
attract students to the student center."
said Emert.
Emert said the focal point on campus
is the Recreation Center and also the
newly renovated Carlson Library. Emert
said she would like to see more students
attracted to the student center.
As of now. both the Student Facilities
committee and the Credit I'nion arc
looking into other schools that have
added student services to their Creciii
Unions. Two of the schools incliulo
Millersville University and Penn State
University.
According to Swart/fai^cr,
Millersville University repciris iIkm

"I really feel vve"d be beneficial to the
majority of the students." Swart/taiicr.
Swartzfager said that every summer ai
new student orientation, the credit
union must refuse student accounts.
Some of the benefits of the credit
union are the surcharge free ATM.
checking and cash access.
"A lot of students, especially coming
from small towns, incur a surcharge
everytime they use a MAC machine in
Clarion. Having a student Credit Union
would benefit most, if not all students
on campus," said Jen DeFazio. senior
Communication major.
Another bonus is membership can
continue after graduation. "Once a
member, always a member," said
Swartzfager.

Remembering New York
Traveling together as a
group in New York City is
something that the TU CUi^/oh
Ctfl staff will never forget.
Some got annoyed, some
got cranky, and some kept
on going and being their
usual happy selves.
After traveling all night
in a car we needed to get
some sleep, but instead we
decided to go out and start
our sight seeing, getting
some places out of the way,
before the College Media
Advisers convention began.
The first stop was St.
Patrick's Cathedral, and
that was the first experi-
ence we had with Sept. 11.
Outside the doors of this
massive church were ven-
dors who had actual photos
that were very graphic and
spoke to you about what
happened that day.
Another stop was Central
Park and once again the
same photos could be seen.
We could not get over the
amount of detail in them.
In the one photo you
could actually see that
someone was jumping out
of the tower because they
knew that they weren't
going to make it. We
couldn't believe it.
The last stop that we
made was to Ground Zero.
We actually went there
twice that day.
We went the first time in
the afternoon and got pic-
tures and put a flag on the
memorial wall. We then
ventured back that night so
we could view the lights
which now stand close to
where the towers once
stood.
The emotions that were
going through all of us that
night were unreal. The
lights were beautiful and
you can see them clear as
day from almost anywhere,
but knowing why those
lights are on at night is
what really makes you take
a pause.
Overall we all had an
enjoyable trip to New York.
It was educational and
sociable. We brought back
great information from the
convention that we will use
to improve the student
paper.
Seeing all New York had
to offer makes us realize
why New York was a won-
derful city before Sept. 11
and is still wonderful after.

Looking at the signs, the poems
and the candles that were burning
at the site, was a very sickening
feeling. The amount of shirts

poster of a young man. He was
19 years old, and was caught in
Tower One.
That is something that I did not
expect to see. A guy my age lost
his life on that tragic day.
Another thing that I noticed
firefighter shirts, police shirts, or while looking at the different
just white t-shirts that people had signs, is that out of the hundreds
signed and hung, is unreal. It's
mind boggling to think that that
many people came together and
risked their lives during this time
of tragedy.

This was the best
job of my life, where I
could have fun and
still get paid for it. §9

How would you like to mingle
with some of the best profession-
al baseball players in the world
and have fringe benefits that most
fans only dream of? Have you
ever dreamed of being a batboy
for a major league baseball team?
I had that dream since I was a
little boy. Through the years that
desire only got stronger and at the
age of 16 I was living my dream.
Ever since I was three years old
I have been going to games with
my family. One of my dad's good
friends. Ken Saybel, throws bat-
ting practice for the Pittsburgh
Pirates. He has always given us
tickets to games.
One day Mr Saybel called my
dad and asked if I would be inter-
ested in the opportunity to inter-
view for a position as a batboy
for the Pittsburgh Pirates. My dad
asked me and I was so excited I
didn't know what to say, except
yes, of course.
The next day my mom took me
to the Pirates clubhouse for my
interview. I was very nervous, but
excited at the same time. I had to
meet with the equipment manag-
er, Roger Wilson, who was in
charge of the clubhouse where
the Pirates hang out before their
games.
When I walked in the club-
house it was just like a movie
with the player's jerseys hanging
on the wall right next to their
lockers. I was very impressed
with everything. It was profes-
sional right from the start.
We went into Rogers' office and
he asked me the general inter-
view questions.
He said he still had some more
interviews to do and he would get
back to me. He called me the next
day and offered me the job. This
was the best job of my life, where
I could have fun and still get paid
for it.
My job required me to be at the
clubhouse five hours before
gametime, so when a game
would start at 7 p.m., I would

have to be there at 2 p.m. The reason I'd have to be there
early is to get the equipment ready for the game and do Uttle
chores for the players, such as getting them food or going to
the bank for them.
I worked 12-hour days, but I had a lot of free time during
the game and during batting practice. The busiest time during
my day was after the game when I had to do laundry and
clean off the spikes that the players wore. Sometimes that
was the worst job because if it had rained the shoes were very
dirty and muddy. The players expected to have their shoes
kK)k brand new when I brought them back to their lockers.
My job did have some perks to it. The opportunity to meet
the players and coaches certainly helped to expand my
knowledge of the game. Also receiving autographed pictures
of the players was exciting for me and the envy of my friends.
The players were also very generous about giving tips. The
best time to get a tip is when the players are leaving town for
a road trip. They need assistance with their luggage and they
give you a lot of money for helping.
I was a batboy for four years. I would still like to work there
but I can't because of school. It's too hard to go to college
and work this job at the same time.
When I left work for the last time the players were very gen-
erous with their money because they realize you need all the
money you can get when you go to college.
I still go back to visit the team because they know me and
they like it when the batboys come back to visit.
Last summer when I visited the clubhouse, I was invited to
dinner at Jason Kendall's home. What a great evening! That
evening I enjoyed delicious food and great converstion. I was
very impressed with Jason's true interest in my first year of
college.
We were able to have a good conversation about education
and sports.
I feel very fortunate for the opp(.:)rtunity I experienced as a
batboy for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Not only did 1 live my boy-
hood dream, but I also had the pleasure of meetmg some
wonderful people that I can call my friends.

-BEN ChERVENAK
Stade'Ht Senate Pf*-eefde.Ht ^ Fo/^-m^
What do you like most about
Clarion? Is there anything that you
would like change? Tired of your
voice not being heard and you
want to do something about it?
Well if you have asked yourself
any of these questions before, then
you are in luck. Your chance to
answer them may come soon.
Over the next three weeks every-
one will have a chance to become
a more active member of the
Clarion University community.
This will happen in two ways.
On March 24 - 27 a group of uni-
versity presidents will be on cam-
pus as a part of the Middle States
Accreditation process. This team
interviews faculty, administration,
and students concerning their
experiences at Clarion, and gives
everyone the chance for his or her
voice to be heard.
The University accreditation
happens once every 10 years, and
is a very important approval for
the university. Without this
accreditation new student recruit-
ment would not only drop, but the
process would be much harder.
This accreditation also serves
Clarion in the purpose of having
other university accredited pro-
grams.
So, if someone comes up to you
during the next week and asks
what you think of the university,
do not hesitate to give them a few
moments of your time, as well as
your honest feelings about Clarion
University.
The second chance for you to be
heard is starting on April 2, and
this one deals directly with
Student Senate. This is when the
process of finding next years sen-
ators begins. So this is your
chance to change something on
campus, or do something differ-
ently than it was done.
Every student at Clarion
University (as long as they have
over a 2.2 QPA) is allowed to run
for Student Senate. All you have to
do is pick up an application at the
Student Senate office, and turn it
in by the required date, with the
required materials.
Following the application
process there will be an Open
Forum for all of the candidates to
speak about their platform, as well
as for other students to ask ques-
tions of all the candidates.
Elections for the 20 open positions
takes place April 24-26, with the
newly elected members officially
taking office April 29.
This is every student's chance to
get involved, shape CJarion
University, and to let all of you be
a "driving voice."

Career Services offers guidance for students
by Amy UjazdowskI
Seniors are counting down
the days as graduation quickly
approaches. The few months
remaining before graduation
mark the time for students to
decide future career plans or
apply to graduate school.
However, the Career
Services office at Clarion
University opens its doors
starting on a student's first day
of orientation. Students can
find the office in Egbert Hall
to start their career planning as
soon as they enter college life.
The staff is ready and willing
to assist students by advising,
guiding, and supporting them
through career developments.
Three major concerns of many
students are career options, job
preparation, and graduate
school plans.
Individual assistance is the
most important feature of
Career Services.
According to Connie
Laughlin, director of Career
Services, "No two students
have the same career ideas."
When a students future is
viewed on an individual basis,
a more in-depth overview of
his or her situation can be ana-
lyzed. A student's career
opportunities begin to grow.
Another very important issue
the office always stresses is
that students should not wait
until their senior year to check
out what they can do before
graduation.
Waiting causes students to
miss out on many opportuni-
ties that can help them find the
right path during college, or
prepare for post-college life
with plenty of time to spare.
Senior year is the final semes-
ters at college, and it is advised
to use this time to relax and put
the finishing touches on before
starting the future.
Freshman and sophomore
students can talk to Career
Services advisors or their own
advisors to help them decide
what they find interesting. This
way, they can develop a short
or long-term plan, even if they
have not declared a major.
Also, it is recommended by
Laughlin to get involved with
activities, take on leadership
roles, and volunteer to help
find those interests a person
might have in helping with
future decisions in life.
Some ways students can
obtain career information are
through the career library, pub-
lications, or on the Career
Services web site. The library
contains important resources
and information for making
educational, career, and
employment decisions.
The publications are free for
anybody and feature career
planning and job search topics.
Periodically, the office pro-
duces a newsletter called
CareerLine for information to
all students. This publication
shows opportunities and what
action to take in finding what
lies ahead, and will soon be
posted on-line for easier
access.
Through the web site, stu-
dents can obtain career plan-
ning, job search, employer and
graduate school information.
The site includes news, a cal-
endar, employer services, and
parent resources to aid stu-
dents.
Information on the
Professional Development
Series, registration for seniors,
job fairs, and campus recruit-
ing programs are just a few
issues covered under news.
The parent site allows par-
ents of students to become
more involved with aiding
their children in career plan-
ning. It includes tips and a
checklist along with a career-

denfs wiio are lool<ing forward fo ttieir fufures. Ttiere are
computers, broctiures, and packets on different subjects.
making process so a parent
may offer "suggestions" for
their children.
The employer site informs
employers on how they can
recruit future employees
through Career Services. Also,
they can review resumes of
both students and alumni. On
the other hand, students and
alumni can access these jobs
through a program called
College Central Network.
After registering at www.col-
legecentral.com/clarion and
posting a resume, job listings
can be accessed on-line.
Clarion University is not the
only school involved with this
program. All 14 Pennsylvania
State System of Higher
Education career centers can
be accessed through this web
site.
Along with Internet access,
appointments can be made for
a "menu of services." These
include various other types of
career preparation such as
workshops, a resume clinic,
mock interviews, campus
interviews, internships, and
job fairs. The staff is willing to
help anybody on a personal
basis by using this menu to
map a student's time preparing
during college.
"The program they offer is
very good, but advertismg is
not good enough so many stu-
dents don't go," said Victoria
Hillyard, senior special educa-
tion major.
Hillyard heard of the pro-
gram when Career Services did
a speech in one of her fresh-
man classes, but claims she
never sees other type of pro-
motion of the services.
The office has an open door
policy, meaning anybody may
walk in with questions at any
time. Career Services is free
for everybody and has no for-
mal type of registration.
Many students like Erica
Krahe, senior secondary edu-
cation English major, never
use the services because they
don't know what else the office
offers besides a resume clinic.
"All I know is that they do
resume building, but I already
have a resume," said Krahe.
Career Services is a user-
friendly organization ready for
any type of situation to cross
their office. Even students
looking for part-time employ-
ment or seasonal work during
their four years here Career
Services web site.
Job fairs are probably one of
the biggest events senior stu-
dents wait for on campus.
Clarion University hosts both a
Teacher Recruiting Fair and a
Summer Job Fair. Along with
those, career services collabo-
rate with other regional college
career centers and sponsor
additional events such as the
Job Fair at the Expo Mart in
Monroeville, Pennsylvania.
When preparing for Job
Fairs, people become nervous
about meeting employers or
interviewing. Career services
offers a mock interview pro-
gram to help students calm
down and relax for these
events. During the program, a
Career Services staff member
will play the employer and
actually interview the student.
The session is videotaped, and
students have an opportunity to
practice, assess, and refine
their communication skills.
The final service offered to
senior students is Careerserv-
L. This service sends messages
to seniors through their univer-
sity e-mail accounts and pro-
vides information about career
programs, employers, intern-
ships, job opportunities, and
job fairs. Seniors are automati-
cally placed on the listserv and
other students may subscribe at
www.clarion.edu/admin/com-
puting/listserv.shtml.
The doors are open for all
students and alumni with ques-
tions on preparing for their
future.
The Career Services office is
located in Egbert Hall and is
open Monday thru Friday 8:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. including
lunch hour. The office is also
open all summer.

offer, or to set up an appoint-
ment, call 393-2323 or visit

Campbell Hall welcomes Technology floor
by Brittany Garner
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Department of Residence Life
has recently created Clarion
University's newest theme floor in the
resident halls.
Clarion University already has the
Wellness floors. Fine Arts floors.
Business floors, as well as, floors that
are 24 hour visitation and either
smoking or non-smoking.
Now, Clarion University introduces
the Technology floor, which is located
on the fourth floor of Campbell Hall.
As of now, the floor is in existence,
but there is a mis-match of students
that are living there who had squatters
rights from last year.
Next year, there are plans to have
only students that are interested in
technology living on the floor.
Clarion University originally allotted
$31,250 to use for the floor and its
projects and programs. Over the past
year, the Technology floor has used a
part of that money for the lounge on
the floor.
The lounge has been turned from a
regular television lounge into a com-
puter and television lounge. The
lab/lounge now holds three Gateway
computers equipped with web cams.
They also have a zip disk drive and a
CD burner.
There are many other plans that will
be implemented in the future for the
Technology floor.
"Before the end of this year, the
movie rentals in Campbell Hall should
be computerized," said Matt Swort, a
senior computer science major and
one of the resident assistants currently
on the floor.
An ID scanner is going to be pur-
chased so that when a student rents a
movie, his or her card will be swiped
and the movie will be scanned. That
information will go into the computer,
enabling students to keep their IDs
when renting a movie.
In addition to the scanners,
Campbell Hall residents will be able
to see what movies are available for
renting on the computer.
Brian Hoover, the resident director
of Campbell Hall also outlined other
projects that could be going into
effect during the next years on the
Technology floor.
There have been ideas about creat-
ing an on-line technology journal,
building and monitoring on-campus
chat communities, hosting and main-
taining residence life web sites, main-
taining the Technology floor's web
page, sponsoring educational pro-
grams for the floor, hall and campus
community, and having educational
field trips for the floor.
Resident Hall sign-ups will soon be
available for anyone interested in
becoming a resident of next year's
Technology floor.
Interested students will have to go
to Campbell Hall and request to live
on the floor. There will be an agree-
ment to sign stating that the student is
interested in technology, and that he
or she will actively participate in the
floor programs and activities.
There are a lot of perks to living on
the Technology floor as well.
Residents get to live closely with peo-
ple that have the same interests as
them; students have a private lounge
that is for their use only; and they are
given keys to get in and out of the
lounge. No one but fourth floor resi-
dents can get in. Printing is free, as
long as the residents provide the
paper.
Although this is a pilot program in
Campbell Hall, Hoover said that there
could eventually be other Technology
floors in other halls. If people who are
serious about technology decide that a
Technology floor is the place for
them, then every resident hall could
one day have its own Technology
floor.
Students who are currently living on
the floor are pleased that Clarion
University is thinking of new ideas
and activities for students to partici-
pate in.
The Technology floor in Campbell
Hall is the beginning of a new genera-

Faculty Senate
Reinhard proposes
new department
by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
Clarion University President
Diane Reinhard addressed a pro-
posal to create a new academic
department within the Division of
Student and University Affairs,
during the Faculty Senate meet-
ing Monday afternoon. The new
department would include the
Athletic Director; the Associate
Athletic Director; the Director of
Intramurals, Recreation, and
Fitness Center; and the Athletic
Trainers, pending the decision of
the courts on their status.
The Department of Health and
Physical Education (HPE) rec-
ommended the proposal. One
reason for the proposal is the
close relationship already exist-
ing between the staffs of the stu-
dent recreation, intramural, and
intercollegiate athletic programs.
According to Reinhard, eight
other schools in the State System
of Higher Education currently
have similar structures.
In a memorandum circulated
during the meeting, Reinhard
said, "The creation of this new
department promises to enhance
both our effectiveness and effi-
ciency in meeting student needs."
In other business. Provost, Dr.
Joseph Grunenwald, shared the
results of performance funding;
Clarion University has exceeded
its performance expectation. He
noted three areas in which
Clarion did especially well: fund-
raising, proportion of minority
faculty members, and retention of
minority students.
Dr. Scott Kuehn, chair of the
APSCUF committee, said six stu-
dents were awarded APSCUF
scholarships. The scholarship
committee, Dr. Ken Traynor, Pam
Stover, and Sonja Heeter, chose
the following recipients from a
list of 47 applicants: Seth Brown,
Susan Hefley, Cynthia Fugate,
Julie Lundy, Kelly Kougher, and
Marcie Thomas.
Finally, Dr. Greg Clary said the
retirement ceremony is scheduled
for Wed., May 8 at 4:00 p.m. with
a reception in Moore Hall imme-
diately following.
The next Faculty Senate meet-
ing is Mon., April 8 at 3:30 p.m.
in B-8 Hart Chapel.

Safety guidelines to traveling abroad Nowlin receives PCA Fellowship
by Christina Meehan
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
Going overseas this summer?
Participating in reckless behavior
abroad may extend your stay
much longer.
Each year, over 2,500 American
citizens are arrested abroad
because they are not familiar with
the basic laws and customs of the
foreign country they visit.
According to the Department of
State, half of these arrests are due
to narcotics charges, including
possession of very small amounts
of illegal substances such as mar-
ijuana.
A number of countries, includ-
ing the Bahamas, the Dominican
Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, and
the Phillipinnes, have enacted
more stringent drug laws. These
laws impose mandatory jail sen-
tences for individuals convicted
of possessing even small amounts
of marijuana or cocaine.
Undecided freshman. Tiffany
Lash, had a run in with the more
stringent laws of the Bahamas.
"When I was leaving, all of my
prescription drugs were checked
to make sure I didn't have any
illegal drugs," said Lash.
There is very little anyone can
do if an American is caught with
drugs. Many countries have
mandatory prison sentences of
seven years or life, without the
possibility of parole, for drug vio-
lations.
The Department of State's
Bureau of Consular Affairs'
Office of Overseas Citizens
Services provides emergency ser-
vices pertaining to the protection
of Americans arrested or detained
abroad.
However, the office cannot
demand the immediate release of
an American, represent an
American at trial, give legal coun-
sel or pay legal fees using govern-
ment money.
Besides drugs, alcohol can also
get U.S. citizens in trouble
abroad. Many young American's
have been arrested for being
intoxicated in public places, for
underage drinking, and for drunk
driving.
Americans go abroad assuming
that local authorities will overlook
such conduct. Many Americans
need to remember that in a lot of
countries, conduct that would not
result in an arrest in the U.S. con-
stitutes a violation of local law.
Freshman computer information
systems major, Angela Myers,
experienced first hand the strict
laws of a foreign country.
"I remember getting reprimand-
ed for being in a bar before 9 p.m.
when I was abroad," said Myers.
Americans also should be aware
that they are not immune from
prosecution in foreign countries
just because they are American
citizens.
Prosecution in foreign countries
is also harsher than in the U.S.
Americans can go through inter-
rogation and delays before trial
including solitary confinement for
up to one year under very primi-
tive conditions.
Trials are usually conducted in a
foreign language with delays and
postponements.
Other Americans can spend
weeks, months, or life in prison
including hard labor, heavy fines
and/or lashings if found guilty. In
a growing number of countries
like Malaysia, Pakistan, and
Turkey, Americans are being
given the death penalty.
To help Americans from getting
into trouble abroad, the
Department of State publishes
Background Notes on about 170
countries.
These brief pamphlets contain
information on each country's
culture, history, geography, econ-
omy, government and current
political situations.
Additional safety information
can be viewed and downloaded
from the Bureau of Consular
Affairs' home page on the Internet

The assistant professor of art at
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania, Kristin Nowlin, is
a recipient for a $5,000
Pennsylvania Council of the Arts
Fellowship. She is one of eighty-
two people receiving the 2002
PCA Fellowship.
The award is in the discipline
of visual arts or works on paper.
The grant may be used for such
things as: time for creative work,
supplies and materials related to
artistic development, and activi-
ties that benefit artistic develop-
ment and recognition.
Nowlin said, "My media is
printmaking with stitching. PCA
juried my three foot by three
foot paper pieces dealing with
race and how it is defined in
America. 1 will use the money
for supplies and for some ship-
ping costs involved with sending
my art to Kansas City, Mo for a
solo exhibit this summer."
A fellow art department mem-
ber, Catherine Joslyn, provided
Nowlin with the PCA entry
form. Last summer, Nowlin sub-
mitted ten slides of her artwork,
a resume, and an artist statement
to PCA.
The PCA was founded in 1966
to encourage and promote the
arts and is a state agency in the
Office of the Governor. The mis-
sion of the PCA is to foster
excellence, diversity, and vitality
of the arts in Pennsylvania, and
to also broaden the availability
and appreciation for those arts
throughout the state.
Its essential goal, stated by a
press release is, "To encourage
and enable Pennsylvania's artists
of all backgrounds and heritage
to do their work and make it
accessible to broad publics."
All grant recipients must have
resided in Pennsylvania for
twenty-four consecutive months
before applying for an applica-
tion.
An advisory jury of four arts
professionals from outside
Pennsylvania reviewed the
applications based on the artistic
quality of the applicant's work
submitted for review in
Nowlin's category.
All recipients are also asked to
submit materials for a full-color
catalog published annually by
the Pennsylvania Council on the
Arts.
Nowlin, a native from Ames,
Iowa, received her B.F.A. degree
from the Columbus College of
Art and Design and an M.F.A.
degree from Ohio University.
She is in her third year of teach-
ing at Clarion University.
"I went to college to be a fash-
ion designer. I declared a major
in fine arts and fell in love with
printmaking. After spending a
semester in England, I decided I
wanted to teach," said Nowlin.
That goal led her to Adams
State College in Colorado for
one year and then here to Clarion
University.
Nowlin said, "The art job mar-
ket is very tight, particularly for
printmakers, but Clarion had an
opening. My husband, Edward,
and I like it here. He is enrolled
in Clarion's M.B.A. program."
During the Clarion University
Faculty Art exhibit at the
Sanford Art Gallery, some of
Nowlin's work was exhibited.
Clarion University's Carlson
Library has purchased three of
Nowlin's pieces to exhibit in the
newly renovated library that
opened last week.
The funding for the PCA
Fellowship comes from all the
citizens of Pennsylvania through

an annual state appropriation by
the Legislature. The PCA will
also receive funding from a fed-
eral agency, the National
Endowment for the Arts.
Fellowships in fixed amounts
that are non-matching of $5,000
or $10,000 are awarded for eligi-
ble Pennsylvania artists to
enable them to pursue their artis-
tic goals. The artists are selected
by the PCA through using a
highly qualified jury of art pro-
fessionals whose recommenda-
tions are approved by the
Council.
Out of all the applicants, only
a small percentage from all cate-
gories will receive awards.
Nowlin will be added to both
the on-line Levy Gallery Artists
Registry and the actual Levy
Gallery Artists Registry at the
Moore College of the arts in
Philadelphia.
She will also become eligible
to be named to the Special
Opportunity Stipend pool, SOS,
which makes her eligible to
apply to the SOS program, and

artists in Pennsylvania.

Panhel Council/IFC Council
attend NGIA conference
by Lindsey Lowrie
Contributing Writer
Ten members from Clarion
University's Panhellenic Council
and Interfraternity Council
attended the Northeast Greek
Leadership Conference (NGLA)
from Feb. 28 through March 3.
Over 850 students represented
colleges from all over the north-
eastern coast at the conference
that was held at the Adam's Mark
hotel in Philadelphia, Pa.
The NGLA exists to "promote
founding principles and positive
traditions of all Greek letter orga-
nizations through the opportuni-
ties that encourage learning and
leadership for the Northeast
region."
The purpose of the NGLA
Conference was to educate mem-
bers of NPC, NPHC, IFC, and
other affiliations on ways to
improve upon their respective
Greek systems. Forums included
lectures, round tables, and open
discussions led by professionals
and experts in the areas of recruit-
ment, risk management, and
Greek Week.
Other topics that were covered
included alcohol and drug use and
the Greek system. "Drink Think"
was a lecture that covered the
overuse and abuse of alcohol on
college campuses.
"All the Rave: Your guide to
Club Drugs" was a discussion in
which preventive programming
on drug use was discussed.
"Flavors" was a lecture that
taught how to deal with the
changing tides of Greek systems
across the country. How to
become marketable in today's
changing world and how to main-
tain campus Greek life and see it
flourish in a positive light were
also main discussion points
throughout the conference.
Ten members from Clarion
University's Panhellenic Council
and Interfraternity Council were
in attendance and represented
Clarion University's diverse
Greek organizations.
Moniqua Williams, Tricia
Bennet, Lindsey Lowrie, Laura
Piotrowski, and Jessica
Pomraning were the representa-
tives for the Panhellenic Council.
Representatives from the
Interfraternity Council included
Henry Crawford, Eric Manko,
Dan Leech, Josh Pezzuto, and
Jason Graper.

Steve Prescott shows Clarion the beauty of nature
by Matthew May
Clarion Call
Assistant Lifestyles Editor
"I go to nature to be soothed
and healed, and to have my
senses put in tune once
more," once said essayist and
naturist. John Burroghs.
Although it is obvious
Burroughs loved nature from
his works, he probably never
attempted to go on a hiking
trip for five months straight.
Steve Prescott, thru-hiker,
doesn't speak as eloquently as
Burroughs does, but his
actions speak clearly. In
1999, Prescott went hiking
for 149 days through fourteen
states on the Appalachian
Trail, and he brought back
photos of his journey he took
with a high quality 35 mm
camera. On Tuesday evening
at Hart Chapel, Intramurals,
Recreation and Fitness pre-
sented "Steve Prescott
Adventure Travel" where
Prescott showed a slide show
and discussed his impressive
trip by foot on the
Appalachian Trail.
"I don't view it as extreme,
but some people do," Prescott
said after explaining that the
Appalachian Trail is a foot-
path that reaches 2,160 miles
in length from Maine to
Georgia. More than 220
miles of the trail runs through
Pennsylvania. The
Appalachian Trail was com-
pleted in 1937, and Prescott
wasn't the first to travel the
entire trail in a single trip.
That was done for the first
recorded time in 1948.
Nevertheless, hiking over
2,000 miles should still be
considered quite a feat by the
students here at Clarion who
complain when they have to
travel from Still to Becker
Hall for classes. Prescott,
furthermore, is generous
enough to share images of a
journey most of us will never
take.
A native Pennsylvanian,
Steve Prescott is from
Lancaster. He is a rather
skinny man with weathered
skin and shaggy brown hair.
If he had a beard, he would fit
the image perfectly of the
type of man who traveled by
foot through the woods for
five months carrying nothing
more than would fit in a back-
pack. He has walked many
trails in his life including the
Pacific Crest Trail, which is
even longer than the
Appalachian Trail, as well as
trails in England and
Scotland.
"I walk just about anywhere
I can," he said, smiling, as if
you couldn't have figured that
out on your own.
His hour and a half
slideshow presentation
brought the audience along
with him on the trip in much
less time than it took him to
make it. The pictures he
brought back with him are
breathtaking - inspiring the
sparse audience, fewer than
twenty people, to awe at what
clearly were the highlights of
the trip. From summits and
cliffs, his slides invited the
audience to look over a world
of lush green trees, crystal
blue lakes and streams, fiery
sunsets, fields of flowers, and
massive valleys and moun-
tains. Pictures of others he
met along the trail, whether
they were other hikers or peo-
ple that provided free food
and shelter for him, helped
the audience to have a better
understanding of his journey.
"I can't speak for every-
one," Prescott said as he tries
to explain why he would
make such a journey. "There
are several reasons. The first
being a true love of nature
and the natural world." He
continued with other reasons
such as he found freedom out
in nature, living by the sun
and moon, and becoming one
with nature. "It puts things in
perspective when you simpli-
fy your life to what you can
keep on your back."
Clearly a free spirit, he
claimed, "Actual prep time
(for the trip) was like three
hours or something." Later,
he said he didn't know how
much his backpack weighed
and he liked it that way.
"I've always gone with igno-
rance is bliss when it comes
to knowing how heavy my
pack is. But I would have to
guess fifty pounds at its heav-
iest."
Even with the extent that
Prescott obviously loves
nature, he did admit not lov-
ing every moment of his trip.
"I'd be lying if I said that I
was happy every step of the
way, but I never came close to
stopping. ..seeing a doe or
fawn really picks up my spir-
its."
Prescott said that the trip
surprisingly cost him around
$2,000. He still had to buy
supplies at small towns he
found along the trail. "It is
rare to find vegetables and
fruits along the trails," he
explained. He said he proba-
bly ate more junk food than
he should have, especially
when it came to candy.
After the slide show presen-
tation, Prescott intimately
engaged the small audience
by taking forty minutes of
questions and staying beyond
that to talk with individuals.
Although the presentation
dragged in several places,
Steve Prescott managed to
bring the awe and beauty of
the outdoors into Hart
Chapel.

Showtime wastes stars' talent in lousy comedy
by Brad Hemmings
Clarion Call Staff Writer
It's March Madness time,
which allows me to make an
NCAA basketball related analo-
gy. Most people would agree
that Duke's team is loaded with
some of the best college players
around. But they lost games
this season to both Virginia and
Florida State, whose teams did-
n't even make the tournament.
In other words, occasionally,
Duke went out and laid a big fat
goose egg.
Sometimes this happens to
everyone, even the best actors
in the world, including Robert
DeNiro, Eddie Murphy and
Rene Russo. In Showtime, all
three pretty much choke on
their talent and puke simultane-
ously, producing one of the
worst comedies in recent mem-
ory.
DeNiro and Murphy, who
have individually proven their
comedic talent with such gems
as Meet The Parents, Analyze
This, Beverly Hills Cop, and
The Nutty Professor, team
together as an unlikely cop duo
who are chosen to star in a new
reality television series about
cops on the job. The show, pro-

duced by Russo's character,
follows the two officers as they
investigate crimes involving a
new, super-bad shotgun.
The overly contrived jokes
fall flat, as virtually ever
punchline can be seen a mile
away. The opening scene
involves Murphy having his
badge revoked for being a loose
cannon. Murphy's overacting
during the scene makes it com-
pletely obvious that he's simply
auditioning for a television
show before the so-called
"joke" is revealed to the view-
er. Sadly, Murphy's overacting
doesn't stop with the audition.
It continues relentlessly
throughout the movie resulting
in likely the worst performance
of his career.
The main cause of Shov^time's
pathetic attempt at humor is the
writer's failed attempt to devise
funny scenarios for the stars. It
almost seems as though one
writer thought up the concept,
passed it to another who wrote
out the plot summary, then
passed it to another who's job
was to make the boring ideas
into humorous scenes.
Apparently though, when the
third writer received the script,
he lapsed into a coma before
changing a thing. It's a shame
to see such a potentially good
idea flounder, especially when
surrounded by such incredible
talent.
The film's lack of anything
remotely resembling a joke far
overshadows DeNiro's valiant
attempt to save the sinking
ship. In true stoic DeNiro fash-
ion, he deadpans his way to a
rather amusingly sarcastic role.
If there is a highlight to the
film, it is undoubtedly the
scene in which DeNiro is
forced to sit in a Real World-ish
confessional booth to tell his
feelings about the day's activi-
ties. The scene is so brief, it
hardly begins to make up for
the other hour and a half of
atrocities.
It's hard to imagine how
William Shatner falling off a
car hood can be made not
funny. It seems practically
impossible to team two of
Hollywood's funniest actors
and not even get some laughs
accidentally. Even soft core B-
movies can do that.
One would think Eddie
Murphy muttering, "I ain't no
Sam Jackson, but I'm talented,"
would at least produce a smile,
but it doesn't. Every time a
joke could have been made
slightly funnier, it seemed as
though the scene was intention-
ally ended leaving the viewer to
wonder what could have been.
I'm confident that the next
time Eddie Murphy mocks his
Beverly Hills Cop character
while Robert DeNiro tries to
park a Humvee, the results will
be much more entertaining.
In the future, Hollywood must
show they haven't forgotten
how to write comedic material.
This time around however, all
Hollywood has shown is that it
is in fact possible to both suck
and blow at the same time.

The Chemical Brothers dig their hole with Come With Us
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
Back in '95, the Chemical Brothers
seemed pretty revolutionary, espe-
cially to the American audience,
which helped the Brothers become
the closest thing electronica ever had
to a superstar act (at least until Fatboy
Slim) in the States.
Their flashy production and will-
ingness to adopt rock structures and
attitudes, grafting them to dancetloor
ethics and vibes, created a captivating
debut {Exit Planet Dust), and more
importantly, a modem classic follow-
up, the genre-fusing Dig Your Own
Hole.
But somewhere between "Block
Rockin' Beats" and now, the worid of
electronica changed. For the major
music press, increased awareness and
acceptaiKe of electronic forms of
music raised the bar somewhat.
Sporting a big beat sound with catchy
hooks isn't enough nowadays.
Most serious attention to electroni-
ca has been directed at artists delving
into more abstract, arty mutations.
The work of artists such as Autechre
and Boards Of Canada makes light of
the work performed by practitioners
such as the Brothers, and their chief
disciples, namely Fatboy Slim, Moby
and Appollo 440. Where trance
superstars like Paul Oakenfold and
Sasha and Digweed once were the
critics' darlings, they're now regard-
ed as disposable, one-dimensional
dance fodder.
Hell, if a traditional rock band such
as Radiohead is busy crafting IDM
and ambient pieces, armed with Pro
Tools and a drum kit, then a simple
song designed to shake your groove
thing just isn't enough.
The Chemical Brother's new plat-
ter, Come With Us, isn't going to help
the situation any It's still all that
same 6ld sweaty funk mixed with
mechanical sheen the Brothers have
been doing for the past eight years.
Which isn't to say that Come With
Us is a horrible listen. It's certainly
entertaining enough, and the Brothers
are still able to paint often spectacular
vistas of sound, but on Come With
Us, the brush strokes are too calculat-
ed, resulting in a paint-by-numbers
feeling.
That old familiar feeling coats all of
the album, and ensures that after a
few listens, this stufi^gets mighty old.
Also, there isn't any stand-out track
on the level of Surrenders "Out Of
Control," or Dig Your Own Hole's
"Block Rockin' Beats."
But enough with the griping. Let's
point out what Come With Us does
well. There are some steps made in
new directions to be found scattered
throughout the disc. Take the nishing
future-disco of "Come With Us,"
with its oscillating and ostentatious
synth swirls, and the unabashed
Atari-soul of "Star Guitar."
The Oompa-Loompa funk of "My
Elastic Eye" is a nice contribution;
one of the album's strongest tracks.
Pregnant programming oozes like
molasses as a computerized voice
babbles incoherently over playful
calliope beats. An OutKast rhyme
wouldn't sound out of place here.
Paging Dre and Big Boi, please.
Spjeaking of guest vocalists, they do
make the requisite appearances here
(after all, there's only so much you
can do with vocal samples). Beth
Orton contributes to the electric-folk
of 'The State We're In." "The
State..." glides along a laissez-faire
beat and forgettable melody. Orton
valiantly tries to save the song with
her vocals, smooth as warm honey,
but can't do it all herself
A friend of mine recently com-
mented that listening to Beth Orton
read the phone book would be
enough for him; listening to "The
State We're In" repeatedly is as close
to that as I want to get.
"The State We're In" does charac-
terize the album's biggest change of
pace from early Brothers recordings,
however. The light, airy feel of the
song reminds one of Air's trailblaz-
ing Moon Safari album, with the cool
lounge atmosphere and soothing
tempos.
The Brothers usually have a more
earthy, bass-oriented percussive
approach. While Come With Us does
dig the big-beat mine, several
moments show a more melodic, even
esoteric identity than the duo mostly
present us with.
"Hoops" starts out on the right foot,
showing this new approach, with
gentle folk-guitar passages and lush
programming, but quickly drops into
a predictable rave-up. It's competent,
but the Brothers are capable of so
much more.
Drawing to the album's end,
"Denmark" brings the lowest ebb
yet, a sterilized recapitulation of the
Brothers' early sound, with over-
achieving crescendos and cheesy
trance moves, complete with a
skanky funk guitar sample. By the
time you hear the raver's whistle, you
have to ask yourself if the Brothers
are for real.
Come With Us does leave on a high
note, however. Guest vocalist
Richard Ashcroft (formerly of the
Verve), pops up in the closer, 'The
Test." A psychedelic pop tune, 'The
Test" shakes off a troublesome start
to find an intoxicating groove and
mind-bending melodies.
The Brothers have let us down this
time, no doubt about it. While there
are a few redeeming moments on
Come With Us, you can find similar
(and superior) moments on earlier
albums. If the Brothers truly are
"gonna work it out," they better do it
soon, before they've become com-
pletely pass > 2 1/2 out of 5 stars.

Clarion Call Staff Writer

that had people second-guessing his
skills and he is taking it back to the
creative concepts and street journal-
istic lyrics that made him so popular.
That's right - Nas has just dropped
his sixth release entitled Stillmatic,
and it has almost every rap fan across
the globe pleased.
'Pleased' is ahnost an understate-
ment, because people are already
comparing this album to his first
album, Illmatic, which is also hailed
as a classic, and for many, an indus-
try standard.
Stillmatic was released in mid-
December at the height of Nas' well-
publicized industry beef with
rap/hip-hop mogul Jay-Z.
Nas and Jay-Z have had their share
of issues since Jay claimed to be the
rap king of New York and a lyrical
war has been going on since. They
have been going back and forth at
each other on underground mix tapes
since last August, but Nas finally got
a good jab at Jay with the second
track on Stillmatic called "Ether."
There hasn't been a diss-record of
this caliber since Tupac and the
Outlawz made "Hit 'Em Up" about
Biggie. Nas comes off on this track
with lines like "Heard it when I was
asleep/That this Gay-Z, and cock-a-
fella records wanna beef."
Nas not only takes shots at Jay, but
also at Roc-A-Fella's co-CEO,
Damon Dash as well, with "Is he
Dame Diddy, Dame Daddy or Dame
Dummy/Oh, I get it, you're Biggie
and he's Puffy/Rockafeller died of
AIDS, that was the end of his chap-
ter/And that's the guy y'all chose to
name your company after/Put it
together, I rock giris, y'all rock fel-
las/And now y'all try to take my
spot, fellas?" For all the hip-hop fans
that were around to see the beef
between Biggie and Pac escalate to
death, let's just hope this war stays
on record.
Nas tried a few different things on
this album that I have personally
never heard before from any hip-hop
artist. On "One Mic," Nas experi-
ments with his delivery by starting
off with a low voice tone then getting
gradually louder as the beat starts
getting more heavy and the lyrics
start getting more in-depth.
This song has Nas stating that all he
needs is one mic, and although he
does have cash, cars and could have
virtually anything he would want, all
that he will ever need to be happy is
one mic.
He also crafted the witty "Rewind"
by telling a stcry backwards, from
end to beginning (sort of like the
movie Memento). Instead of saying
simple phrases like "we right out-
side," Nas flips it and rhymes "out-
side right we." This is a very cre-
ative track, and one of the most
memorable ones from Stillnuitic.
The Tears for Fears-sampled
"Rule" has Nas addressing many dif-
ferent world issues, such as the
September 1 1 tragedy. He raps "No
war, we should take time and
think/The bombs and tanks makes
mankind extinct/But since the begin-
ning of time it's been men with arms
fightin'/Lost lives in the Towers and
Pentagon, why then?'
In this song, Nas is asking why we
aren't striving for peace, instead of
everyone wanting to rule the world.
Not only do Nas' lyrics stand out, but
also the production is very gcxxl.
Nas recruited Primo for "2nd
Childhood," Large Professor for
"You're Da Man," and L.E.S. for the
AZ collaboration, 'The Flyest."
There is only one track that I teel
doesn't belong on this record, and
that is the radio-friendly "Braveheart
Party," featuring Mary J. Blige. This
is one of those albums you can let
run from, beginning to end, so when
the word "classic" gets brought up in
the same sentence as StiUimtic, I
must agree.

It's Oscar time - break out the blow darts
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
Of all the prestigious
awards that the entertainment
industry gives to itself in
humble recognition of its own
sheer fabulousness — the
Emmys, the Grammys, the
Tonys, the Golden Globes,
The Wallys, The Silver
Spheres, The Vinnys, the
Cubic Zirconium Orbs of
Distinction, the Sneezys and
the Award That They Always
Give To Kelsey Grammer —
there is none so prestigious as
the Oscars.
That's why an estimated 40
billion people will tune in
this year to watch the
Academy Awards show,
which begins at 5 p.m.
(Pacific) on March 24, with
the climactic announcement
of Best Picture scheduled to
be announced at 8:30 p.m.
(Pacific) on March 28.
Yes, it will be 99 hours of
nonstop entertainment,
"Hollywood-style," broken
down as follows:
• Movie stars reading spon-
taneous banter from
teleprompters: 6 hours, 37
minutes.
• Shots of the always fasci-
nating Jack Nicholson sitting
in the audience: 4 hours, 19
minutes.
• Jokes involving Enron: 1
hour.
• Memorable, unscripted
moments: 3 minutes.
• People you never heard of
thanking other people you
never heard of: 87 hours.
• Of course, this is the "best
case" scenario; usually the
show runs long. Nothing can
be done about this. The pro-
ducers have tried everything
to pick up the pace, includ-
ing, last year, sharpshooters.
As soon as a winner's thank-
you speech reached the two-
minute mark, FWWWWT a
tranquilizer dart would lodge
itself in his or her neck. But
this did no good.
The winner for Longest
Short Foreign Film hung
tough for more than 11 min-
utes, sustaining dart after dart
until he looked like a tuxedo-
wearing porcupine, but
doggedly continuing to thank
people, some apparently
picked at random from a tele-
phone directory, before stag-
gering off the stage with
enough sedative in his blood-
stream to immobilize a water
buffalo.
That's the kind of adrena-
line rush you get at the
Academy Awards. I know
because I was there once, in
1987, along with the movie
critics, who are very bitter
because they know, in their
hearts, that their teeth will
never look as nice as the teeth
of the people they write
about. The critics are also
angry because, in their opin-
ion, the Oscars always go to
the wrong people.
Here's how they explained
it to me: Each year, the
Academy gives the awards to
people who really should
have won LAST year. The
reason they didn't win last
year was that the Academy
was giving the awards to peo-
ple who should have won the
year before THAT. This has
been going on all the way
back to the first Academy
Awards, which apparently
were handed out by total
morons.
Who deserves to win this
year's awards? This is an
especially difficult question
this year, because there were
so many fine performances
and movies, and I have not
seen any of them. My wife
and I have a 2-year-old
daughter, and on those rare
occasions when we have a
babysitter, we use the time
for activities we need to catch
up on, such as brushing our
teeth.
So the only movie I've seen
this past year is The Sound of
Music, from 1965, on DVD.
But I've seen it a LOT. It's
my daughter's favorite movie.
She thinks it's called "Boys
and Girls," as in, "Watch
Boys and Girls? Watch Boys
and Girls? Watch Boys and
Girls?" etc. We watch it eight
or more times per day.
The Sound of Music is the
heartwarming story, set in
1937, of the von Trapp family
in Austria, where for some
reason everybody speaks
English with a British accent,
except for the oldest von
Trapp daughter, Liesl, who
has a distinct American
accent, possibly as a result of
an accident that also caused
her to lose a vowel.
There is trouble in the von
Trapp family because (a) the
children don't know any
songs, and (b) World War 11 is
about to break out.
Meanwhile Julie Andrews is
studying to be a nun, but is
having second thoughts
because when she asks the
head nun for advice, the head
nun starts shrieking about
climbing mountains in a voice
that could bore holes through
steel.
So Julie becomes the gov-
erness of the von Trapp chil-
dren and wins them over by
making clothes for them out
of hideous draperies. Then
she teaches them the song
"Doe, a deer, a female deer"
etc., which they sing, thanks
to the DVD player's handy
"repeat" button, over and
over and over and over, until
the Nazis flee, screaming,
never to return.
So it's a happy ending, and
I hope we can say the same
for this year's Academy
Awards. Thanks for reading
this. 1 also want to thank my
agent, Al Hart, and
FWWWWT...

Track and field
Track teams biursting with mixed experience in 2002
by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Call Sports Editor
The 2002 Clarion University
women's track team will be one
that mixes youth with experience.
The team lost some key people
from last year, those holes need to
be filled by the incoming fresh-
man class. Fortunately, the team
does have many returning quality
starters and strong freshmen
coming in. The women will be
strong in the throws and in the
distances. The throws are expect-
ed to be the strongest area of the
team.
Last year. Clarion had nine
place winners at the PSAC cham-
pionships. With the mixed experi-
ence, the team is predicted to go
two or three deep in every throw-
ing event this season, and the
Golden Eagles will be led by five
athletes who qualified for
PSAC's in a total of six events
last year.
The returning PSAC qualifiers
are junior Liz Eury (discus) and
sophomores Julie Evenoski (shot
put & javelin), Carrie Bullman
(javelin), Jessica Crouch (jav-
elin) and Jen Klock (shot put).
Klock was a PSAC medallist
last season finishing fourth in the
shot put with a throw of 40- 1 1 fi .
Evenoski is the school record
holder in the javelin (125-1),
while Bullman and Couch each
held the record in the javelin at
one point last season. Bullman
was the top finisher at PSAC's
with an 8th place standing.
The middle and long distances
will be another area of strength
for the Golden Eagles.
Sophomore Jen Boerner, a
PSAC-qualifier in the 1.500 and
3.000. and freshman Melissa
Terwil linger, who had an out-
standing cross country season,
will be Clarion's top two middle
and long distance runners. There
are also a large number of incom-
ing freshman that could turn into
quality distance runners.
The jumps are a third area
where Clarion has some experi-
ence with two PSAC qualifiers
from last season returning in
senior Kristie Shoemaker (triple
jump & long jump) and junior
Leah Fennell (triple jump & high
jump).
PSAC place winner Elissa Till
returns in the pole vault for the
Golden Eagles, as does PSAC
qualifier Fennell. Till was sixth
last season at PSAC's with a vault
of 9-6.
The question marks for Clarion
are in the sprint events where the
only PSAC qualifiers returning
are Shoemaker and Nicole
Morrett, who were both members
of the school-record setting
4x100 meter relay team (49.61).
With some of the sprint and hur-
dle events up in the air right now,
the team is looking for some
freshman to step up. As of now,
the team has two quality sprint-
ers. Shoemaker and Morrett.
Sandy Seidle is also expected to
perform for Clarion in the sprint
events.
In the hurdles. Clarion will look
toward Klock and Fennell along
with freshman Shannon Svitek.
The Clarion University mens
track and field team has an oppor-
tunity to have a solid 2002 sea-
son. The team hopes to duplicate
what they did during the previous
season, but need people to step up
and fill some of the holes in the
sprints and the jumps.
The Golden Eagles were eighth
at PSAC's last season and had
wins over lUP and Slippery Rock
during the regular season. During
this meet, many members of the
mens team finished higher than
expected.
Clarion can duplicate last year's
success with the leadership of the
three returning seniors who won
medals at PSAC's last season. All
three PSAC medalists earned
their medals in different areas,
and the medalist are joined by
three other PSAC qualifiers from
last season.
There are many strong athletes
covering multiple events. That
versitality gives Clarion an edge
in both the championship and
dual meets.
The three returning senior
medalists, Bill Burns, Jerry Smith
and Justin Wise, lead the group of
six PSAC qualifiers returning
from last year. Both Smith and
Wise earned All-PSAC honors by
finishing in the top three in the
800 and the pole vault respective-
ly. Smith was third in the 800,
while Wise, who holds the school
record in the pole vault (14-7
1/4), was tied for second in the
event. Burns, meanwhile, fin-
ished fifth in the shot put.
The other three PSAC qualifiers
back from last season are sopho-
mores Bran-don Phillips (lOO)
and David Durianick (steeple-
chase) and senior Matt Mastarone
(5,000).
On the track, the Golden Eagles
will look toward Phillips to lead
the way in the sprints, while in
the hurdles Clarion will get a
boost if two football players,
Conrad Warner and Brandon
Whitman, are able to compete.
Smith will be the leader of a
middle distance pack that should
also include Zac Lendyak, a
PSAC qualifier in the 1,600 relay
in 2000, Tim Fabrizi, Collin
Hawkins, and Shane Krause.
Chris Noal will join Durianick

in the steeplechase, while
Mastarone and A.J. Mayernik
combine to give Clarion a good
one-two punch in the distance
races.
In the field, Burns, Krol and
Brian Johns will lead Clarion in
the discus and shot put. Wise,
Lendyak, and Richard Reese will
head the javelin group.
The jumps are one area that the
Golden Eagles are going to need
some people to step up. The top
jumper could be Jayson Vetere.
who will also be the Golden
Eagles decathlete.
The pole vault should be a
strong event for Clarion, with
Wise and Ken Ross both capable
of making the PSAC's.

The Clarion Taffers Rugby club suffered a nar-
row 31-35 loss to Lock Haven University on
Saturday, March 16. This match was the first the
Taffers spring exhibition season.
Although there were a number of great plays on
both sides of the ball, good fortune was the decid-
ing factor that led Lock Haven to take the win.
Lock Haven scored a try at the end of regulation
and took enough points to win the match.
Despite the loss, the Taffers played superior
rugby with tries scored by flyhalf Zack Craig (2),
fullback Chad Toland (1), prop Greg Dinsmore
(1), and inside center Jason Minnear (1).
The Clarion Taffers are unfazed by the loss and
are ready to battle at the Pittsburgh Collegiate
Rugby Classic which is to be held at Cooper's
Lake next weekend. Expectations are high for the
tournament since the Taffers have come home with
the trophy in their division for the past two sea-
sons.
For more information on the Clarion Taffers, call
Chad Toland at 223-4648 or email at

nationals. In his opening match he
was pinned at 5:49 against #5 seed
Owen Elzen of Minnesota. That
match was a lot closer than the
final score. Mausser actually led
3-0 in the second period and 3-2 at
the end of two periods, but in the
third period while riding Elzen, he
was caught and pinned at 5:49.
In his first wrestle back match
he defeated Lock Haven's Avery
Zerkle 3-2, then continued with a
7-6 win over Ty Matthews of
Indiana. In his fourth match he
lost a 3-1 decision to #4 seed
Rusty Cook of Boise State.
Mausser finished the year with a

knee injury in the quarters of the
Big Ten Tournament and followed
a win there with a medical forfeit
the remainder of the tournament.
Last year. Testa was seeded #8

2 decision to Oklahoma's Leonce
Crump in round two and then lost
a 4-2 decision to Kevin Hoy of Air

is a two-time EWL and three-time
PSAC Champion.
Junior Rad Martinez also had a
strong season for the Golden
Eagles notching a 28-5 overall
record at 133-pounds and placed
second at the PSAC and EWL
Tournaments. Rad is seeded #12
at 133 pounds and has drawn Penn
State's Marat Tomaev in the first
round. The PSU sophomore was
20-11 overall this season and
placed 6th at Big Ten's to qualify
for the NCAA Tournament.
The two wrestled in a dual meet
at Clarion in December and
Martinez defeated Tomaev 8-1. If
Mausser were to win, he would
get the winner of #5 seed David
Douglas (Arizona State) and Dave
Hoffman (Va. Tech).
Martinez was unseeded at 133
last year and was 0-2 at the
NCAA's while hampered with an
elbow injury suffered in practice
prior to the tournament. In his
opening bout Rad lost a 9-4 deci-
sion to Ben Richards of Oregon
State, then in the wrestle backs he
lost a 4-1 decision to Nick
Boucher of Cleveland State.
Martinez has a two-year record at
Clarion of 57- 15.
Sophomore Jeremy Reitz (157)
is in his first season wrestling at
Clarion. Jeremy posted an 18-12
overall record this season and
enters the NCAA's as an unseeded
wrestler. Reitz placed fourth at
EWL's. He has drawn unseeded
Levi Weikel-Magden (Stanford).
Weikel-Magden was 27-11 in the
PAC-10 and placed 4th in punch-
ing his ticket for nationals. If
Reitz were to win, he would get
the winner of #3 seed Luke
Becker (Minnesota) and Gabe
Webster (Cornell).
Reitz transferred to Clarion last
year after wrestling half the sea-
son at Penn State. He was 21-7 as
a Nittany Lion and has a colle-
giate record of 39-19. He is from
nearby Brookville High School.

Gira \ isited Clarion's
campus last fall to make
sure the process was on
track. The Middle Slates
team arrived on campus
Sunday and fanned out
to meet their counter-
parts.
While on campus, the
team observed campus
activity and met with
students. All students
who were approached,
both on Clarion and
Venango campuses, were
very supportive of
Clarion's program.
Although the team was
on the (darion and
Venango campuses for a
couple of days prior to
the report, most of their
work and research uas
done in advance.
The Middle States

comprised of
Clarion's
faculty, com-
piled a 99

Study docu-
ment to be
presented lo
the Middle

"As a member of the .Middle
States Steering Committee. I
have been a part of this work for
two years," said Dr. Arthur
Barlow, a Professor in the
Communication Department.
"This team visit is a culmination
of our collective efforts."
The process to begin the Self-
Study starts with formulating the
Steering Committee, comprised
of Clarion employees.
Next, the committee must
choose a model for the study and
have it approved by Middle
States.
Clarion chose the comprehen-
sive model. With this model, the
committee, headed by Bill
Sharpe. had the task of produc-
ing a Self-Study document of
100 pages or less. The docu-
ment was designed to create a
clear picture of the who, what
and why of Clarion.
After the initial document was
drafted, it had to be edited. Dr.
Ralph Leary of the English
department
headed the edit-
ing process.
"We have
taken this task
very, very seri-
ously. Our task

Carlson: Back and
better than ever
For the students of Clarion
University the wait is over - the
new library is open for business. It
looks good, both inside and out-
side of the new building.
We stepped inside the building
and our jaws dropped when we
saw the improvements. There was
beautiful new carpeting, the light
fixtures are wonderful, and the
wood work is great.
Another aspect we like about the
new library is all the technological
resources that we have gotten dur-
ing the renovation. Flat screen
computers. ..how great is that?
Computers that actually work and
have speed.
To go along with the flat screen
computers, we now have a black
and white laser printer that is free
to all students to print their impor-
tant papers or documents.
We also have a color laser print-
er available for a small fee, but
how can we complain? Black and
white is free and you can print a
color picture that will actually
have a nice quality.
Coming along with the new
library is a 24-hour snack bar. A
place to eat on campus that is open
later than 9:30.p.m. Go CUP!
In our opinion, this is the best
new addition to the University and
will benefit students the most.
The books are all in the building
however, the one draw back is
some of the books are not accessi-
ble right now, but they will be in a
short amount of time.
Even though we can't get to all
of the books, we have access the
internet, documents and printers.
Also, inside the new library are
the conference rooms. We think
this is a great idea because there
really isn't anywhere on campus
that is nice enough and big enough
for people to meet in groups.
Here at 72* Ca/f, we have to give
Clarion two thumbs up for all of
the work that has been done and
say thank you to the people that
made this possible.

-Jill Brennan
Many people get stuck in a
daily rut. Our lives are fast-
paced and busy. We have strict,
schedules with little or no free
time. We get so caught up with
school and work, that we don't
take time to enjoy life.
As Spring approaches everyone
gets excited about the Easter
candy and hoopla. They forget
what it's really all about. Spring
is so much more than that.
It's a time to think about your
life and answer these questions
for yourself; Why am I here?
What do I want to get out of my
life?
Spring is a rebirth, a time to
reflect on the past, live in the
present and improve in the
future. It's a time to start living
to the fullest, start something
new or give up an old habit.
This is how we should live
everyday.
We should cherish what we

It's a shame we do not often
think about our family and
friends until we lose one of
them. During these times we
think about what they meant to
us and remember the times we
had with them.
Enjoy the time you have with
them now so you don't have any
regrets later. Nothing is worse
than regret. Sure, we all have a
few regrets in life, but don't let
losing touch with your family
and friends be one of them.
We should be taking care of
each other. Violence and hate
are clouding our vision. Now
more than ever we are realizing
that pulling together is making
us stronger.
By saving our negative energy
and turning it into something
positive, we can make a differ-
ence in the world in which we
live.
We spend so much time hating
people, we don't take the time to
find the good in them. There is
good in everyone.
In a few weeks I will be grad-
uating and another chapter of
my life will close. I have mixed
emotions about leaving Clarion,
but I am happy when 1 think
about how far I have come.
My professors here have
helped mold me into the student
that I am and the professional
that I will become. My parents
and family have made me the
person who I am today. That is
what I'm most thankful for.
I hope that anyone who reads
this can look at life in a more
positive light and learn to appre-
ciate the simple and wonderful
things life has to offer.
I wish everyone a happy
Spring!

America and the Arab summit
After months of shying away
from the maelstrom of Mideast
conflict, the Bush administra-
tion is wading into the fray
now to try to shut down the
violence that is becoming a
drain on support for its war
against terrorism.
Vice President Dick Cheney
found out first-hand last week
how disastrous the Arab-Israeli
conflict can be for U.S. policy
in the region - returning empty-
handed from his trip to nine
Arab nations, Turkey and
Israel.
Cheney had spent 10 days
seeking Arab support for
President Bush's goal of over-
throwing Iraqi dictator Saddam
Hussein as part of a widening
assault on global terrorism. The
veep was widely rebuffed.
Many of those Arab states are
gathering for an Arab League
summit this week in Beirut.
They expect to consider a U.S.-
backed peace plan, generated
by Saudi Arabia, which offers a
chance to shut down the worst
fighting and killing in the Holy
Land in a generation.
Which raises a question. Now
that the Bush administration's
plans to confront Iraq over
weapons of mass destruction

have collided with the impera-
tive of dealing first with the
Mideast conflict, are Bush and
Cheney prepared for sustained
engagement there - even if, like
Bill Clinton before them, they
fail?
"The fact of the matter is,
there isn't anybody but us,"
Cheney said Sunday on NBC's
"Meet the Press."
The Bush team has figured
out that America's war against
terrorism may be at risk if the
United States cannot quell
Arab-Israeli violence. At the
very least, U.S. policy in the
region is being stymied by
Palestinians and Israelis inca-
pable of halting the violence
themselves.
Now that it's up and running,
the new U.S. engagement in the
Mideast shouldn't be allowed
to wither. The administration
ought to impose a peaceful
solution on the parties if need
be, aided by Russia, NATO and
the United Nations.
Indeed, Cheney's high-pro-
file mission on Iraq came up
short largely because the esca-
lating Mideast bloodshed has
outraged America's Arab allies.
They perceive Israel's crack-
down in the occupied territo-
ries as unjust, brutal and aided
by high-tech weapons provided
by the United States.
Right now, the best chance to
end the violence rests in the
plan advanced by Saudi Crown
Prince Abdullah. It offers Israel
normalization of relations and
commercial ties with Arab
states in return for Israel's
withdrawal from territories it
has occupied since the Six-Day
War of 1967. Because the plan
originated with Saudi Arabia,
Israel can't be expected to act
on it unless the Arab states
embrace it at their summit.
Cheney traveled to the
Mideast intent on pressing
Arabs for a regime change in
Baghdad. The Mideast inter-
vened. Cheney returned after
offering to meet with
Palestinian Authority President
Yasser Arafat - whom Bush has
declined to meet. Now Cheney
has set the terms.
If Arafat embraces a formal
truce, Cheney is willing to
return to meet with him. That is
a sea change in administration
policy, and a step in the right
direction. Bush can't effective-
ly widen his war on terror as
long as the Mideast bleeds.

Student Senate
Minority Student Services questions restructuring
by Robyn Hutter
Clarion Call Staff Writer
At the end of Monday
night's Student Senate meet-
ing, President Chervenak
moved to an open forum.
During the open forum, repre-
sentatives from Minority
Student Services discussed the
issue of a proposed reorgani-
zational plan.
This proposed plan directly
involves the Minority Student
Services as well as various
other organizations including
all of Student Affairs.
The reorganizational plan
calls for the merging of the
Minority Student Services
with other organizations such
as Health Services and RACS.
This merger would place
Minority Student Services
along side unrelated organiza-
tions, as well as remove the
organization from its home
office in Becht Hall.
The organization would be
placed in a new office, which
is not at the same capacity
level as their current office.
The Minority Student
Services was developed at
Clarion University in 1990
and is currently directed by
Rogers Laugand. All of the
representatives expressed
strong concern for losing a
place that they consider their
own.
'i am glad that the students
who had concerns came to the
Senate meeting to express
them to us. The Student
Senate is here to be a voice for
the students, and to help with
any concerns of issues they
may be facing," said Student
Senate President Ben
Chervenak. "Student Senate is
working along side several
people in Student Affairs, as
well as some members of
Minority Student Services to
try and best resolve the situa-
tion."
Many of the Minority
Student Services members
discussed how the merger of
their organization with other
unrelated organizations would
not only affect their attitudes,
but also their academic per-
formance.
Vice President Gring
responded to the discussion of
the reorganizational plan by
opening up the idea of hosting
an open forum where all the
organizations affected by the
various mergers could express
their concerns.
"A lot of different people
have a lot of different stories
about a lot of different things
that are going on," said Black
Student Union President Ian
Wingfield. "I'm glad that stu-
dents and administrators are
coming together April 13, at 7
p.m., in Hart Chapel for an
open forum. At that time
everyone will be educated
about what's really going on."
Also during the meeting.
Treasurer Tom Clopp of the
Appropriations Committee
moved to allocate $1,048 from
the Supplemental Reserve
account to the Society for the
Advancement if Management
for a 2002 National
Conference.
SAM has been inactive since
1998; therefore, they have not
attended the conference since
that time.
The organization will attend
a variety of seminars hosting
several speakers over a 3-day
period. The conference will
also include student presenta-
tions, student case studies and
networking opportunities.
SAM looks forward to using
this conference as a learning
tool, which will allow them to
/Af Monday night's trieefing, an open forum was held to dis-
cuss the reorganizational plan that will affect various organi-
zations including all of Student Affairs.
bring the information back to
Clarion University and apply
it.
SAM has completed 25 to 30
community service hours as
well as a successful candle
selling fund-raiser.
The Student Senate passed
the motion 21-0-0.
During the Appropriations
Committee Report, Treasurer
Clopp also moved to allocate
$3,520 from the Supplemental
Reserve account to the
Association of Information
Technology Professionals for
a 2002 National Conference.
The Conference includes
various seminars that would
be covering ideas for fund-
raising and membership.
The conference will also
include a job fair providing
various networking opportuni-
ties as well as different pro-
gramming contests for pro-
grams such as C+-I- and Java.
The AITP has attended this
conference for the past six
years. From the attendance of
last year's seminar their mem-
bership has doubled.
Throughout the discussion,
the Senate remained con-
cerned the AITP would be
using this conference as a
means for looking for individ-
ual job opportunities instead
of using the conference to
benefit the University as a
whole.
The Student Senate failed
the motion 2-19-0.
Members of the Association
for Computing Machinery
were present at Monday
night's meeting where
Treasurer Clopp moved to
allocate $594 from the
Supplemental Reserve account
to the organization for a 2002
National Conference.
The Association for
Computing Machinery has
attended the conference in the
past. The conference includes
various seminars including a
programming contest. In
attending this conference,
members hope to share ideas
with other neighboring
Universities such as Slippery
Rock and Edinboro.
Members have contributed
to the organization through
the selling of diskettes in the
lab as a form of fund-raising.
The Student Senate passed
the motion to allocate the
funds 13-7-1.
During the New Business
portion of the Senate meeting.
President Ben Chervenak
announced proposed Student
Senate Constitution and By-
Law changes.
The proposed changes to the
Constitution included extend-
ed office hours for the presi-
dent, vice president, and the
treasurer.
The president would have to
complete 15 Senate office
hours in comparison to the
current requirement of two
office hours.
In addition, the president
must be in the office three
weeks prior to the school year.
The vice president and the
treasurer would have to com-
plete 10 Senate office hours
instead of the current two
office hours.
Another proposed change
includes all committee meet-
ings. Currently, Committees
are required to hold weekly
meetings; however, under the
proposed By-Law changes,
the Committees would meet
monthly.
The motion was tabled until
April 8, where it will be voted
on by the Student Senate.
Treasurer Clopp announced
the following account bal-
ances: Capital, $116,216.89;
Large Item Capital,
$168,202.34; Supplemental
Reserve, $27,162.33.
Lee KruU announced, during
the Business Manager's report
that Rusted Root tickets are on
sale at the Gemmell
Information Desk. Student
tickets are $8 and non-student

Clarion University's Service-
Learning office has planned
their Saturday Service Day this
semester for April 13 at 15 dif-
ferent service sites.
Planning the event are CSL
office student assistant Rebekah
Filberg, coordinator; Maura
Kudis, CO-coordinator; and
CSL director, Diana Anderson-
Brush. The theme of the Service
Day is "Discover the Magic of
Service."
Filberg, who has participated
in Service Day for three semes-
ters, feels the Service Day gives
students the opportunity to get
involved with community ser-
vice.
"I hope that students really
will have their eyes opened to
service and that this day will
give them a taste for volunteer-
ing," Filberg said.
Volunteers that register to be
part of the Service Day are split
into teams. Each team has a des-
ignated service site at an agency
where they will spend the day.
Each site has a designated team
leader. The team leaders'
responsibilities include contact-
ing the service site, contacting
site volunteers, and communi-
cating between the agency and
the university.
The day begins at Gemmell
Student Complex. Team leaders
and staff arrive at 8 a.m. and
student volunteers arrive at 9
a.m. The volunteers receive T-
shirts, door prizes, and a conti-
nental breakfast while they
meet their team members and
participate in an exercise with
the entire group. The volunteers
then go to their assigned service
sites.
There are 15 sites registered
for this Service Day. Four of the
sites have already been filled
with volunteers. They include
Beverly Healthcare Clarion, the
Clarion County Humane
Society, Cook Forest Sawmill
Theater for the Arts, and
Clarion County Special
Olympics. The volunteers'
activities will include visiting,
walking dogs, cleaning, and
making banners.
Eleven other sites are still
open for volunteers. At the
Clarion Free Library volunteers
will be organizing and recover-
ing books. The Immaculate
Conception Religious
Education Office asks volun-
teers to help them create a web
site.
At Highland Oaks volunteers
will help prepare for the sum-
mer carnival. Participants at
Stop Abuse For Everyone will
clean and organize donations.
The Keystone Tall Tree Girl
Scouts asks volunteers to paint
and set up tents.
The Clarion Hospital
Ambassadors ask their team to
help with spring cleaning. At
Oil Creek State Park volunteers
will be building steps on trails
and cleaning. The Kiwanis Club
asks for help with their car wash
to benefit the Make-A-Wish
Foundation.
Volunteers at Foxview Manor
INC and Edgewood Heights
will help with painting. Another
team will assist the Clarion
County Special Olympics with
their promotion day.
The Service Day has been
sponsored by the CSL office
since 1992. It began as an annu-
al event. Due to its popularity it
was held each semester and
even more than once a semester.
Over 1,000 student and faculty
volunteers and approximately
1,560 service sites have partici-
pated in the Service Day.
Volunteers and team leaders
for this semester's Service Day
are still needed. You can regis-
ter until the day of the event.

by Susan Onorad
Clarion University student,
Terrilyn Cheatham has been
named "Minority Student of the
Month" by the office of Minority
Student Services at Clarion
University of Pennsylvania.
Currently a junior at the
University, Cheatham is a philos-
ophy/political science major.
She is the daughter of Carmella
Cheatham and the late Halley
Cheatham of Arnold, Pa, and is a
graduate of Valley High School.
Cheatham is involved with
many extra-curricular activities
that are all University-related.
She is the secretary of the
University Activities Board, the
vice president of Zeta Phi Beta
Sorority and has been a Pan
Hellenic Council representative.
She is also on the University
Speech and Debate Team, and has
tutored in both mathematics and
French.
She has volunteered for the
Beverly Health Care Center,
Clarion County Drug & Alcohol
Administration, the American
Red Cross, the AAA Pregnancy
Center and the Salvation Army.
"Being involved with activities
is extremely important to me. It
not only helps to make you a
more well rounded person, but
you also meet new people. I have
an active role in all organizations
I'm involved with, I go to meet-
ings and I participate. That's what
makes a difference," said
Cheatham about how important it
is to be active on a college cam-
pus.
Cheatham is the recipient of a
National Collegiate Minority
Leadership Award, a Clarion
University Board of Governors
Scholarship, a Rotary Scholar
Award, and a Demmler Academic
Scholarship.
She is also a member of the
Clarion University Phi Eta Sigma
Freshman National Honor
Society and Alpha Mu Gamma
National Foreign Language
Honor Society.
Competing with the University
debate team, she was a finalist at
the University of Richmond
Debate Tournament and a quarter
finalist at the West Virginia
Mountaineer Debate Tournament.
One of Cheatham's nominations
came from Dr. Jamie Phillips
from the philosophy department.
"I've been nominating Terrilyn
for Minority Student' of the
Month since October. She is one
of my advisees who is a very
excellent student and has an out-
standing resume," said Phillips.
Terrilyn Cheatham, a junior
philosophy/political science
major . v^as named Minority
Student of the Month.
Her other nomination came
from Dr. Thomas Rourke, also
from the philosophy department.
"I've had Terrilyn in a number
of my classes. She has handed in
excellent papers and has also
received very excellent test
scores," Rourke said.
Some advice from Cheatham on
becoming aciive and remaining
active in any organization on
campus, "Your academics should
always come first, find an organi-
zation that you can actively par-
ticipate and are interested in,
that's the only way to make a dif-
ference."

Clarion Call Staff Writer
Clarion University welcomes a new course called
"Relaxation Skills" which will be offered during pre-
session. This cla.ss will count as one of the Health and
Physical Education (HPE) classes that are currently
required. The class will be taught by Dr Rebecca Leas.
In this class, students will learn yoga, meditation, pro-
gressive relaxation, autogenic training, and visualiza-
tion. The major part of the class will be focused on
yoga.
Many students feel there is not enough variety in the
current HPE classes offered. Other campuses offer this
type of course and it has been very successful. The
classes are usually the most popular classes offered said
Leas.
At Clarion University, the class is on a trial basis right
now. Leas will have to present information to faculty
members to see whether or not this class should be
offered in the future.
The issue of space comes into play when dealing with
the "Relaxation Skills" class. If too many people sign
up for the class, some students may have to be turned
away because of the limited space the class can be held
in. Leas said that there will be enough room for around
30 students.
The main reason why yoga is not taken by more peo-
ple is because of the lack of knowledge people have
about it. Leas hopes that with the proper training, it will
become a favorite for many people to enjoy.
"The big cities have more people participating in
yoga," Leas said. "Blue collar and middle class America
hasn't really tried it yet."
Leas is very excited for the class to begin. The depart-
ment has already purchased new yoga mats that will be
provided to the students. She has arranged a variety of
music to be played. There is no book required for the
class. She is taking a "hands on" approach.
"Relaxation Skills" will be offered during Pre-Session
for 10 days. The meeting time is 4-5:30 p.m. It will also
be offered in the Spring of 2003.
Health Education (HPE 111) will also be offered on
the web. Having the class offered on-line appeals to
those students who wish to complete the course away
from campus.
Leas and Eugene Sobolewski, professor of health and
physical education, will be teaching the class, which
will be offered during Summer I and II and in the Fall
2002 semester. The limit for this class is around 35 stu-
dents.
Another HPE 1 1 1 class will be offered by using the
"hands on" approach. No text is required, just a $5 study
guide.
Many students have trouble taking tests, and this takes
the pressure off of them. During this class, students will
actually be visiting the track rather than sitting in a
classroom.
Leas designed her own fitness assessment, so the class
will not be lecture only.
This class goes from 12-3 p.m. starting May 14, and
is 10 intense days. If anyone is interested in taking this
class during Summer I, call the Physical Education
Office at 393-2371. If enough people sign up for the
course, it will be offered.
Dr. Marigold Edwards, a speaker who Leas studied
under will be at Clarion University, Monday, April 29,
at Hart Chapel, from 6-7 p.m. She will be discussing
relaxation skills. Edwards taught at the University of
Pittsburgh in stress management and relaxation skills.
Smith participates in consortium
by Justin Young
aarion Call Staff Writer
The Capitol Building in
Harrisburg recently housed a
Basic Ed/Higher Ed Science and
Technology Consortium program.
Dr. Bruce Smith, Clarion
University's director of science
education, participated in the pro-
gram.
The program allowed many sec-
ondary school science teachers to
see, and use state of the art equip-
ment.
Legislators and visitors learned
how to use the newest technology
in many different scientific areas
including DNA profiling, infrared
spectroscopy (used to identify
plastics), and technology used
with microscopic organisms.
The Consortium consists of 1 1
Pennsylvania institutions, and is
funded by the Pennsylvania
Department of Education. The
colleges that make up the
Consortium are Clarion
University. Cedarcrest College,
Drexel University. Gannon
University, Gettysburg College,
Juniata College, Wilks University,
Susquehanna University, Ursinus
College, Westminster College,
and the University of Pittsburgh at
Bradford.

Science in Motion program. The
colleges visit urban and rural high
school science classes, allowing
their students to gain experience
with equipment they don't have.
Last year, the Consortium gave
scientific information and equip-
ment to more than 3,200 class-
rooms and more than 5,200 stu-
dents across the state.
Clarion University's program
visits more than 15 school dis-
tricts in western Pennsylvania.
Juniata College started the
Science in Motion in 1987. They
wanted urban and rural secondary
schools to have professional
chemistry equipment. The pro-
gram was started with a grant
from the National Science
Foundation (NFS) of $530,000.
The NSF increased the grant to
$1.8 million, so the program
could be expanded to include
biology instruction.
The grant also enabled the pro-
gram to branch out into western
Pennsylvania. The state issued $2
million, in 2000-2001. to create
the Basic Ed/Higher Ed Science
and Technology Consortium.

Trade Center were destroyed on
Sept. 11. The group departed
Saturday for New York and will
be feeding workers through
Friday.
"I was super excited to go,"
said Maria Victoria Llantada,
21, an FIU junior who found out
about the Ground Zero trip from
her friend Alex Zarut, a trip
organizer.
Zarut hatched the idea of help-
ing at Ground Zero shortly after
Sept. 11, but then the relief
effort was swamped with volun-
teers so his overtures were dis-
couraged. Later he got a tip
from a Red Cross worker that
the Salvation Army needed peo-
ple to serve food at its round-
the-clock feeding tents for
workers. The FIU group is being
filmed for a segment of the CBS
documentary show "48 Hours."
The purpose of alternative
spring break programs is to con-
nect willing college students
with rewarding volunteer expe-
riences. Programs vary widely,
from house-building for Habitat
for Humanity in Georgia to gang
prevention in Detroit to work
with children in Peru. Other stu-
dents opt for adventure through
trips to India, Thailand or U.S.
national parks.
And if the spring break volun-
teers counteract a^ prevailing
stereotype - air-headed sorority
girls and hard-drinking frat boys
- that would be a good thing too.
Llantada's sorority. Alpha Xi
Delta, collects money and works
for children's charities. The
money they make at their spring
formal dance also goes to phil-
anthropic use.
Some would say that spending
25 hours or so cooped up togeth-
er on a bus would be enough of
a bonding experience for any-
body. On the contrary, group
organizers say the FIU group
i, * * * * *
* ♦ * jih, *. I
, ***** ,
****** i
needs to bond before they climb
on the bus so their camaraderie
will hold up through. the tedium
of the trip, as well as the long
workdays.
The group and two faculty
advisers have been meeting reg-
ularly for weeks in a variety of
team-building exercises and get-
togethers. The big moment came
on March 3, when the group did
teamwork exercises on a ropes
course on FIU's north campus.
For seven hours, the group
solved problems as a team.
"It was incredible," Llantada
said. "At the beginning, nobody
wanted to do it, but we came out
loving each other. It was cool to
see how we respect each other."
FIU students have gone on
alternative spring breaks since
1995. Zarut, 21, a junior from
Miami, learned about alternative
spring break three years ago
from a Sigma Pbi Epsilon frater-
nity brother. Some of Zarut's
friends were headed to Panama
City and Cancun, and he made
the decision to try a spring break
alternative in part because he
was short on money.
Since then, he has done gang
prevention work in Detroit and
counseled at-risk students in
New Jersey.
The experiences, he said,
"totally changed my direction."
With a major in criminal jus-
tice, Zarut's goal is to work as a
special agent for the U.S.
Customs Service.
He bristles a bit at the frat-boy
stereotype. But he also does not
want to leave the impression
that the alternative spring break
group is a bunch of humorless
do-gooders.
"I like to party, but 1 also like
to get involved. You'll see the
same people partying one day
and doing community service
another day. That's how it is."

Theatre review
Easy as "Eleemosynary" with Second Series
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Last weekend, this spring's
Second Series show
Eleemosynary kicked off.
Student directed and pro-
duced (by Melissa Lynch), it
featured the low key, mini-
malist, intimate setting that
has become Second Series's
hallmark.
The show is a stage version
of a "chick flick," focusing
on how an eccentric mother
(deftly acted by Mary
along.
But the comic relief in the
play, heightened by Lynch's
interpretations with the
script, really kept things in
focus and kept the men in
the audience along for the
ride.
I've mentioned the
comedic aspects now, and
have to give much credit to
the oddball antics of Ms.
Boldish's character
Dorthea.
The word eccentric can't
even begin to sum up
of the play that really could
have been beaten squarely
into the ground. Thankfully
it wasn't though, even if it
was kind of sparsely
explained.
The best I could put it
together was Dorthea's insis-
tance that Echo's childhood
be one of nonstop learning
instilled in her a desire to
prove her brains somehow,
and words just were the first
avenue for this that came
up.
If I'm wrong, I invite any-
one on the cast to correct
me. No sarcasm at all.
The other way this word
fetish fit was with the title
itself, a Greek word meaning
"charitable," and the word
Echo won the national
spelling bee with.
Where the word took any
additional meaning, within
the contexts of the women in
the play and their lives,
though, was a bit lost on
me.
Realistically, I don't see
how any of the women were
in any way charitable, espe-
cially on an emotional level
towards each other.
All in all, I reallyenjoyed
the play. The timing was
impeccable, and the cast and
crew are to be commended
for their hard work.
Comedy in the face of real-
life situations can be very
hard to pull off, especially in
timing where and when to
insert the humor.
But Eleemosynary does it
well, and does it well often
to the delight of the crowd.
Boldish) raises a very con-
fused and "damaged" daugh-
ter, Artie (Mandy Joe), who
in turn is a beastly mother to
her own child Echo (Amy
Corso).
Now, this "chick play"
really could have overdone it
and plunged right into Terms
of Endearment or even last
fall's Scenes and
Revelations and made me
tune right out.
The tense points were as
long as they needed to be,
never longer, and while each
little part of the play itself
was self-contained and bro-
ken by a bit of a soliloquy,
the action moved right
Dorthea, who was convinced
that given the right motiva-
tion, a human can actually
fly without a motor of some
kind (in addition to trying to
figure out a way to see
through the Earth and dis-
covering a way to talk with
stones).
Just when a scene was tak-
ing itself way to seriously, in
came Dorthea with some
crackpot scheme, in the most
perfectly serious way possi-
ble, freeing the scene just in
time.
Echo's obsession with
spelling bees and words was
one thing that threw me a lit-
tle at first, and another part

Fugazi's musical resistance chalks up another victory
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
In today's musical climate, the
simple fact that Fugazi has
released another album is cause
for celebration. We're not even
factoring in music quality here,
either (though that usually isn't a
problem for Fugazi). That a band
can build up a sizable, fiercely
loyal following in the under-
ground on a tiny label with no
support by the likes of radio air-
play and MTV/VHl is stagger-
ing. Their anti-commercial
stance (refusing to market any t-
shirts, bar the plain ones distrib-
uted at their shows that contain
only the slogan "This is not a
Fugazi shirt") and dedication to
their fans (Fugazi concerts
remain a paltry $5 admission),
have made them more than just a
band - they're an institution of the
American independent music
scene.
The Argument, while not as
immediately "classic" or capti-
vating as early works such as 13
Songs and Steady Diet of
.Nothing, is a fine addition to their
catalogue, and more so, a rock
record that actually resembles its
moniker.
The Argument shows Fugazi
maturing musically quite a bit.
No, wait - 'maturing' isn't the
right word here. That denotes
Fugazi's early work is somehow
less important, or well-crafted,
which could not be further from
the truth. The Beatles of the
hardcore world, Fugazi pushes
their boundaries with each subse-
quent release, and The Argument
is no exception.
The album's first "true song"
(after an untitled bit of white
noise at the album's opening),
"Cashout," points the direction
for the entire album, with an
emphasis on maintaining a tune,
not just thrashing out aggressive
chords. Mellow guitar licks curl
around lead singer Ian
MacKaye's street prophet croon.
As his tale of crooked landlords
and ghetto life builds to the cho-
rus, the guitars switch gears from
cautious tiptoes to thudding
stomps, as MacKaye lets out a
righteous howl. Needlepoint gui-
tar work stitches up the wound
while MacKaye threatens to rip it
open once again.
"Full Disclosure" shows the
older, more familiar Fugazi, as
MacKaye and Guy Picciotto's
guitars swarm like a hive of angry
bees in the opening, which sports
a speed-rush during the verses,
but switches into a melodic holy
blast of "ohhhhh" background
vocals and harmonies you'd
never think Fugazi would touch.
If tempo and mood shifts (rapid,
sudden ones at that) are your cup
of tea, then suck down "Epic
Problem" in all its post-punk
hardcore glory. Mimicking a
telegraph in the opening stanzas,
the band is right on time with
MacKaye, following his orders
down to the nanosecond when he
yelps "Stop!" Drummer Brendan
Canty is particularly adept at
mastering the song's pace, as he
goes ape in the chorus, as "Epic
Problem"'s intensity builds.
After a brutal instrumental break
(which features a damn-near
arena rock guitar solo), the song
enters a light, confessional
atmosphere (well, light for
Fugazi) that should put any doubt
about whether MacKaye can do
more than shout right out of your
mind.
After the surging, primal "Epic
Problem," the breathless "Life
and Limb" comes as an ever big-
ger surprise. A crackling live
wire of a song, it's always threat-
ening to break out into a disso-
nant attack, but stays its course of
restraint through the entire song,
resulting in an eerie, unsure
atmosphere which perfectly fits
MacKaye's dark visions of "Hey,
we want out violence doubled"
and "Boil-in-bag blood
supply/You know it's murder on
the veins."
The wet, shimmering guitar tex-
tures on "The Kill," while they
should come as no surprise on
this record of unexpected tunes,
successfully carrying on "Life
and Limb"'s unsettling vibe.
MacKaye sullenly informs us that
"I'm not a citizen. ..cull memory
for assimilation," and "Embrace
tradition and occupation," like
the worst nightmares of 1984 's
Winston Smith come to horrific
life.
After slowing down the pro-
ceedings in the past few songs,
"Strangeblight" transitions us
into The Argument's torrid close.
A menacing backbeat frames the
slow-building song, which culmi-
nates in a thuggish, intoxicating
stew of MacKaye's pressure-
cooker vocals, apocalyptic cellos,
steady drumming and jagged
ambiance.
Next up, the awkward "Oh" is
the album's only outright failure,
a blind stab at a reggae-rock
hybrid (infused with Fugazi's
own brand of off-kilter ethics, of
course). Let the frat-rock bands
handle this sort of s**t, guys.
While it does show some nice
anti-establishment lyrics such as
"I'm pissing on your
modems/I'm shredding all the
stock/Choose a color for your
ceiling/I'm waiting for the bot-
tom to drop out," the lyrics alone
cannot save the song.
"Ex-Spectator" stumbles a bit
as well, despite being a wonder-
ful showcase for Canty's intri-
cate, impossible-to-pin-down
drums. In the end, it is felled by
MacKaye's growling, overzeal-
ous vocal delivery. MacKaye and
his lyrics have a tendency to be a
tad melodramatic, and "Ex-
Spectator" pushes the envelope.
Well, at least you can't blame him
for lack of enthusiasm.
The Argument's close is spec-
tacular, beginning with
"Nightshop," which progresses
from cyclic tsunamis of guitar
eddies to an almost funky middle
section and back again in four
minutes, and concluding with
"Argument," which approximates
the vibe of "Life and Limb" once
again, right down to a creepy toy
piano.
While it won't rank alongside
their classic works, it's hard to
argue with The Argument and its
charms. Fugazi shows once again
that there is a place fw socially
conscious, culturally aware and
politically-minded music in
today's climate. Yes, music that
matters does still exist. 3 1/2 out
of 5 stars.
Blade II - finally a vampire film that doesn't suck
by Brad Hemmings
Clarion Call Staff Writer
I remember when vampire
movies were about creepy
characters lurking in the shad-
ows saying things like "I vant
to suck your blood." Blade
and now Blade II, have taken
the genre, flipped it on its
head, spun it around, and made
it sing the national anthem. In
other words, they have com-
pletely reinvented a typically
boring and predictable type of
movie.
Blade II picks up where the
original left off. Wesley
Snipes is Blade, and he's out to
rid the world of vampires.
Period. Sure, there are plot
twists, love stories, and pro-
tege-saves-mentor kinda
things, but they're all irrele-
vant when the action starts.
Blade chases after a new breed
oi vampires, called Reapers.
who lend to feed on not only
humans, but vampires as well.
He teams with a super-group of
vampire killers to track the
head bad guy, Nomak, who is
comparable to a reptilian Darth
Maul strung out on heroin.
Snipes turns in one of the
baddest performances in recent
memory. I'm not saying 'bad'
in a bad way. I'm saying bad
in the way that Shaft is bad.
He's one bad mother. ..shut
your mouth; I'm talking about
Blade. He's so bad that a pro-
fessional weightlifter would be
intimidated to be in the same
aisle as him in a supermarket.
The attitude Snipes has carries
the entire movie, as he just
slaughters one helpless vam-
pire after another.
Of course the typical comic
book cheesiness is obvious
throughout the movie with
such corny names as "The
Blood Pack," "The House of
Pain" and even "Blade" him-
self One would think a little
more originality could have
been used, but the childish
names are completely forgot-
ten when the shooting starts.
Probably the main reason
Blade has become so popular
is because it breaks away from
the standard action movie
norms. Most action flicks are
confined to one type of fight-
ing; Westerns have shoot-outs.
Kung fu movies have crazy
karate fights. Medieval knight
movies have sword fights. The
WWF has pile drivers and
suplexes. Blade meshes virtu-
ally every type of combat
together producing enough
violence to give any PTA mom
a coronary.
Not only is Blade II packed
to the brim with never-ending
action fury, it also produces
what is possibly the goriest
movie ever made. Typically a
scary movie will keep the
gross-looking, scarred bad guy
in the shadows most of the
time. If you're lucky, you
might catch one quick glimpse
of the horribly twisted face. In
Blade II, the revolting Reaper
faces are put on display in one
of the best make-up/special
effect jobs of all time.
The Reapers' heads seem to
be practically see-through, as
they're made out of some type
of gelatin mold, and their jaws
open sideways to reveal a mass
of slimy revulsion maybe only
rivaled by the Alien movies.
The scene featuring a Rpaper
autopsy is ten times worse than
any open-heart surgery on
cable TV will show. Most of
the featured gory scenes are
something that only a truly
demented man can dream of in
his worst nightmare.
That truly demented man is
director and screenwriter.
Guillermo Del Toro, who is •
rather unknown, having direct-
ed only one other major
motion picture. The shots and
sequences he produces prove
that he will undoubtedly be
directing for a rather long
time. Almost as good as the
camera work is the soundtrack.
Filled with hardcore techno
and rap mixes, it perfectly
blends with the movie's no-
holds-barred attitude. Best of
all is the fight scene during the
Crystal Method song, "The
Name of the Game." that is
guaranteed to get your blood
pumping.
Basically, if you have a weak
stomach, don't even walk past
the theater. Stay a hundred
yards back. But if you're the
type that thinks Jack the
Ripper tales are good bedtime
stories, this is undoubtedly the
movie for you. One thing is
for sure, whether you're a 12-
year-old schoolgirl who throws
up at the sight of worms, or a
lumberjack who hunts grizzlies
for fun - Blade II is sure to
make you squirm.

Clarion play invited to perform at Kennedy Center
story courtesy of
University Relations
"Songs for a New World," a produc-
tion of the Clarion University Theatre
has reached the pinnacle of college
theatre. The play is invited to be per-
formed Monday, April 15, at 6 p.m.
on the Millennium Stage at the
Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts, Washington, D.C.
"For a small theatre program like
Clarion's to gain such national recog-
nition is significant," says Marilouise
Michel, associate professor of speech
communication and theatre and direc-
tor of "Songs for a New World."
"Besides performing at the Kennedy
Center, there is nothing more exciting
in theatre except Broadway."
The invitation to bring the play to
Washington, D.C. was the result of a
strong effort at the Region II Kennedy
Center/American College Theatre
Festival, held in January at Carnegie
Mellon University. Five plays from
eight regional KC/ACTF Festivals are
selected to advance to the Kennedy
Center.
"Songs for a New World," a theatri-
cal song cycle by Tony Award win-
ning composer/lyricist Jason Robert
Brown, was initially performed Feb.
14-17, 2001. at Clarion University.
Other invited plays will come from
Savannah College of Art and Design,
Boston University College of Fine
Arts, California State at FuUerton, the
University of Minnesota at Duluth,
and Point Park College in Pittsburgh.
"The invitation shows that the stu-
dents in our program are comparable
to any in the country," says Michel.
"Over the last 10 years the Clarion
Theatre Department has been lucky to
have administrative support for
upgrading our technical facilities, so
our students get professional quality
training and performance training.
The selection of this show reiterates
this success. Many Clarion University
theatre graduates are working in this
highly competitive field.
"Putting "Songs for a New World"
back together was difficult in
December. Everyone gave up their
Christmas break to get ready to per-
form it again. It will not be as diffi-
cult this time. "Songs for a New
World" will be the only play per-
formed on the Kennedy Center's
Millennium Stage. The Millenium
Stage is too small for the set, but the
Kennedy Center feels the play will
stand on its own without the set."
Clarion University Theatre had a
first at this year's Region II
KC/ACTF with "Songs for a New
World," being performed in its entire-
ty along with a scene from the Fall
2001 production of "The Laramie
Project." It is rare for any theatre pro-
gram to have two invitations to a
regional competion in the same year.
The work by James Hollingsworth,
a senior music education major and
the musical director for "Songs for a
New World," drew attention at the
Region II Festival. He has accepted a
summer job at the Kennedy Center as
the assistant musical director for the
"Soldheim Festival." Hollingsworth
is a son of Jane and James Reynolds
of Shippenville and is a graduate of
Clarion Area High School.
"This is a culmination of Clarion's
participation in the American College
Theatre Festival," says Michel. "Our
scenes and designs have reached the
upper regional and national competi-
tions. Our acting students have
reached the finals of the Irene Ryan
Acting Competition often."
"Songs for a New World," features
Seana Simon, Trevor Southworth,
Brad Schake and Katie Kerr with
musical direction by Jim
Hollingsworth.
Simon graduated in December 2000
with degrees in communication and
speech disorders and musical theatre.
She is a daughter of Terry and Kris
Simon of Aliquippa, and is a graduate
of Center High School.
Southworth, a December 2001 the-
atre graduate, is a son of Nancy Kotch
of Nanticoke and Thomas Southworth
of Wallingford, CT, and is a graduate
of Greater Nanticoke High School.
Schake, a senior music education
major, is a son of Melvin and Rona
Schake of Homer City, and is a grad-
uate of United High School.
Kerr, a junior theatre major, is a
daughter of Dennis and Margaret Kerr
of Greensburg, and is a graduate of
Greensburg-Salem High
School.
The stage manager is William
Gibson, a junior theatre major, a son
of Fred and Joyce Gibson of
Marienville, and a graduate of Butler
Area High School.
Darcie Reidel of Pittsburgh, a 19Q9
graduate of Clarion University with a
degree in theatre, designed the cos-
tumes. She is now working for the
Pittsburgh Public Theatre.
Hollingsworth is joined in the band
by Dr. Brent Register, professor of
music, playing the second keyboard;
and percussionist Ken McLaughlin, a
senior music education major, a son
of Charlotte McLaughlin of
Leechburg and is a graduate of
Leechburg High School.
Also going to the Kennedy Center in
April is December 2001 Clarion
University English graduate Alex
Thompson, the winner of the National
Critics Institute (NCI) competition at
the Region II Festival. NCI was
established to assist in elevating the
level of arts criticism in the United
States and to help writers to grow at
the same pace as the arts and artists
whose work they review and inter-
pret.
Those competing for the NCI award
attend the plays held during the
Region II Festival. They write a cri-
tique of the performance and submit
them for judging. Thompson, who
received his degree in English with a
minor in acting, was the first runner-
up in the competition. The winner is
unable to attend and Thompson will
fill that role. He is a son of Allan and
Cindy Thompson of New Kensington.
Other Clarion students recognized
at the Region II competition were:
Becky Thielet, who won "Design
Competition" for the costumes for
"Vanities," performed during the Fall
2001 semester. Thielet, a junior the-
atre major, is the daughter of Donald
Thielet from Bridgeville and a gradu-
ate of Carlynton High School.
Southworth and his scene partner
Miranda Scopel were finalists for the
Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship. They
were in the top 16 of approximately
200 pairs of competitors for the
scholarship. Scopel was named "Best
Partner" of the Festival and received
a monetary award. A junior theatre
major, she is a daugHter of Dave and
Marsha Scopel of Cadogan and is a
graduate of Ford City High School.
Clarion University graduate Marty
Savolskis, was the first runner-up in
the Barbizon Awards for Theatrical
Design Excellence in Scenic Design,
for his work on the Clarion produc-
tion of "Songs for a New World."
Savolskis, graduated from Clarion
with a degree in technical theatre in
December '2000, designed a set
inspired by the Robert Frost poem,
"The Road Less Traveled." Savolskis
is now a faculty member at Point Park
College in Pittsburgh. He is a son of
Alex and Fran Savolskis of Munhall
and is a graduate of Steel Valley High
School. He will be at the festival as
the set designer for the Point Park

Close to cannibalism on a Dallas runway
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
We set out from Miami early on Feb.
5, two adults and a 2-year-old, bound
for Salt Lake City. In a sense, we were
following the Mormon pioneers, who
trekked to Utah on foot, trudging 1,300
brutal miles over harsh terrain. They
had it easy. We had to take a connect-
ing flight through Dallas.
Even on a good day, the Dallas-Fort
Worth airport is not traveler-friendly. It
was apparently built on top of a warp in
the space-time continuum, so no matter
what gate you arrive at, you're at least
six miles from your departure flight.
There is a tram system, but veteran
travelers don't use it because it moves
at the speed of a water buffalo passing
through the digestive system of a
python. Amelia Earhart is on there
somewhere.
So as I say, this airport is not conve-
nient on a good day. But we did not
arrive on a good day. We arrived when
something incredible was happening,
something so astounding, so extraordi-
nary, so totally unpredictable that
nobody — certainly nobody operating
an airport — could possibly have antic-
ipated it: Snow. In February! What are
the odds? Fortunately, the airport had a
Snow Emergency Plan. Unfortunately,
the plan apparently involved turning all
ground operations over to Lucy and
Ethel.
So when we landed, our pilot
informed us that we'd be delayed get-
ting to our gate. A half hour later, he
informed us, in case we were wonder-
ing, that we were still delayed. One
hour after that, he informed us that he
was now talking to — this is a real
quote — "somebody who seems to
have slightly more of a clue than the
person we've been talking to for the
last hour and a half." After that, it took
us only one more hour to get to our
gate.
At that point, we'd been on the plane
five hours: Two and a half getting from
Miami to Dallas, and another two and a
half getting the last 300 yards. During
this time, we were each given one (one)
tiny packet of a gritty substance that
was called a "breakfast snack," because
you cannot come right out and inform
passengers that they are being fed ger-
bil treats. (For security reasons, air-
lines no longer serve actual meals,
which could be used as nourishment by
terrorists.)
Anyway, we finally got into the ter-
minal, and as we hustled the six miles
to our departure gate, we were heart-
ened by the fact that the monitors said
our outbound flight was now scheduled
to leave at 1:41 p.m. "Wow!" we
thought, with hunger-weakened brains.
"One-forty-ONE! They have this thing
figured down to the MINUTE!"
And guess what? Our plane was at the
gate, and we boarded, and they closed
the doors almost exactly at 1:41! And
then . . .
...and then we sat at the gate for
FOUR HOURS. If there is any activity
more fun than sitting in a nonmoving,
meal-free plane for four hours with a 2-
year-old, it would have to involve cat-
tle prods.
But finally — Yay! — our pilot start-
ed the engines, and we taxied for about
a mile, at which point the pilot stopped
the plane and informed us that we
would be waiting there for AT LEAST
TWO MORE HOURS, because there
were 40 planes ahead of us for the de-
icing procedure, which was apparently
being performed by a lone worker with
a windshield scraper.
The pilot also said we could use our
cellphones. I considered calling the
Cyanide Capsule Delivery Service, but
my wife, who is more of an idealist,
called the airport offices to complain.
She finally reached somebody who
said, basically, that airport manage-
ment had nothing to do with managing
the airport, and that our beef was with
the airline, which I will call "Nacirema
Airlines."
So my wife called Nacirema, and was
eventually dumped on Consumer
Affairs. A person there said this was
not Nacirema's fault, because it was a
weather problem. My wife said she
understood about the weather, but
wished to complain about the fact that
we'd all been loaded onto a plane with-
out being informed that the plane
would not take off for at least SIX
HOURS, which Nacirema surely knew.
The Consumer Affairs person respond-
ed that — get ready — she would not
even record this complaint, because in
her view it was a weather problem.
Hey, Consumer Affairs person:
Record THIS.
Finally, a little over six hours after
we boarded, the flight took off, and two
hours later we were in Salt Lake City.
So our trip took 13 hours, of which we
spent eight and a half sitting on the
ground.
My point is this: If we catch Osama
bin Laden, which I hope we do, I don't
know what would be the best way to try
him, or where the trial should be held.
But I DEFINITELY know how we
should get him there.

Mexican women performers are spotlighted in
multimedia presentation
story courtesy of
University Relations
Dr. Roselyn Costantino will
present a lecture,
"Inconvenient Women:
Mexican Women Perform,"
Wednesday, April 3, 3:30 p.m.,
in room 250-252 of the
Gemmell Student Complex.
The presentation is part of the
Modern Languages «fe Cultures
Lecture Series, and free and
open to the public. This pro-
gram was postponed from an
earlier date.
Costantino is from the Penn
State University Department
of Spanish, Italian and
Portuguese.
"Performance has long roots
in Mexican culture, as a mode
of entertainment and celebra-
tion, as well as a strategy of
control and resistance," says
Costantino about her lecture.
"This presentation will
explore the work of three
important Mexican women
performers: director, actress,
social activist and writer
Jesuca Rodriguez; singer and
cabaret performer Astrid
Hadad; and visual and perfor-
mance artist Maris
Bustamante."
Costantino will use slides
and video clips, to show how
they excavate traditional cul-
tural artistic forms in their
search for languages capable
of exploring and representing
contemporary life in Mexico
and the expanding global com-
munity.
The Modern Languages &
Cultures Lecture Series is
made possible by a grant from
the Clarion University
Foundation, and is sponsored
in part by the Spanish Club.
Leighann Lord will continue the
on April 9 at the Ri:

Track travels to Bridgewater, VA. for season opener
by Erin Witner
Clarion Call Sports Writer
This weekend, the 2002 out-
door season will get underway
tor the Golden Eagles. Due to
the inhibiting weather conditions
here in Clarion this past week-
end, the CU Early Bird
Invitational, which was the origi-
nal season opener, was canceled.
After having the best indoor sea-
son that Coach Mooney has wit-
nessed since he began coaching
here at Clarion, the team is ready
t(^ tackle the outdoors in hopes of
keeping up the good work.
'The indoor season is to pre-
pare the team for the outdoors,
and this year we did an excellent
job in doing so, everyone looks
good and are ready to compete,"
said Coach Mooney.
Although weather has been a
slight setback, the team has been
practicing with good attitudes
and giving 100%. Both teams are
looking strong and ready to com-
pete.
The men's team is well bal-
anced in both areas. Looking to
the outdoor season, the men's
team seems to have improved
from the indoor season. The
team is led by returning PSAC
Medal winners: Bill Burns. .lustin
Wise, and Jerry Smith. Also with
support from PSAC qualifiers:
Brandon Phillips, Dave
Durianick. and Matt Mastarone.
The women's team is a little off
balance with a strong area in
throwing. Jen Klock, Julie
Evenoski, Liz Eury, Carrie
Bullman, and Jessica Crouch are
expected to lead the team this
year in PSAC's. Evenoski cur-
rently holds the school record in
javelin, while Bullman and
Couch each held the record once
last season.
Jen Boerner and Melissa
Terwillinger will lead in the dis-
tance events. Kristie Shoemaker
and Leah Fennell will be strong
jumpers for the team. Elissa Till,
a PSAC place winner, will return
this season to pole vault.
The team will go down south
this weekend to compete in their
first outdoor meet at
Bridgewater, VA. Next week, the
team will go to Carnegie Mellon
and then start the first of three
PSAC meets here at Clarion on
April 13.
The track team hosts Slippery
Rock and everyone is encouraged
to attend. There will be a new
format that will take place in
order to make the meet shorter
and more "spectator friendly".
For each school, the top two
athletes for each event will com-
pete for points to determine a
winner.
"After the three PSAC meets, we
will have a better definition of
how the team will match up for
PSAC's and we will know how
good we really are," commented
Mooney.
Both mens and womens teams
look forward to the upcoming
season. The team's motto is as

apparent in their attitudes as it is reach our destiny, with the desire
on their shirts. "Determined to to dominate!" '
Labor wars: an increasing issue in the sports world
by Richard Aim
Courtesy of Krt Campus ^ ^ ^
Average salaries have soared to
$4.2 million in basketball, $2.1
million in baseball, $1.4 million
in hockey, and $1.2 million in
football.
At the same time, owners in
baseball and hockey claim they're
losing millions of dollars. Fox
and other television networks are
taking a bath on billion-dollar
sports contracts. Average ticket
prices in the four big team sports
doubled over the past decade.
These facts raise two related
issues: Do players' fat paychecks
lie behind sports' economic
stresses and strains? And should
players sacrifice for the good of
their sports by accepting salary
caps, luxury taxes or other
restraints aimed at holding down
salaries?
Where you stand on these mat-
ters depends on where you sit.
Owners say they're the victims
of flawed economic systems that
allow rich teams set the market
for salaries, leaving poorer teams
the inenviable choice of spending
that makes little economic sense
or languishing at the bottom of
the league standings.
The players contend they're just
getting what they're worth in the
marketplace, even if the public
perceives it as out-of-control
spending. "We don't hold a gun to
the owners' heads." said Ted
Saskin, senior director of the
National Hockey League Players
Association.
The different views on player
pay arose at the .ecent World
Congress of Sports in New York,

but the schism between owners
and players isn't just idle debate.
Labor wars are a persistent fea-
ture of today's sports world.
With Opening Day looming,
baseball still hasn't replaced the
collective bargaining agreement
that expired in October. Union
boss Donald Fehr is telling play-
ers to brace for the worst - a work
stoppage in baseball for the ninth
time in 30 years.
The NHL and National
Basketball Association are at
least two years away from labor
confrontations, but the NHL own-
ers and NBA players already are
sending signals of discontent.
"If I can do one thing in my
lifetime, it would be to change the
NBA labor system," said Arn
Tellem, the agent for Los Angeles
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant and
other NBA stars. "It's a nuclear
holocaust for players."
As owner of the Phoenix Suns
and World Series champion
Arizona Diamondbacks, Jerry
Colangelo knows how to connect
the dots on sports teams' troubles
with players' pay.
Start with huge disparities in
revenue among teams. Toss in
owners' desires to compete and
fans' demands for winning teams.
Then give players freedom to
seek the highest bidder.
That's what sends salaries into
the stratosphere, balance sheets
into the red and owners to the bar-
gaining table seeking restraints
on labor. "You need an economic
system that works," he said.
Jeff Kessler, a lawyer who
works with the National Football
League and NBA player associa-
tions, says those who argue play-
ers' pay drives up television rights
fees and ticket prices have got it
backwards. Higher revenues
come first, then the higher
salaries, he said.
And it's the players who gener-
ate the revenue, including the big
pot of television money. "The
players create an awful lot of
value for the leagues," Kessler
said. "If I went out and played
professional basketbaH, there
wouldn't be much of a rights fee."
Owners, seeing reckless bidding
for free agents as the root of their
economic problems, have been
prodding for years to get new
restrictions on players' bargaining
rights.
The NFL and NBA, both with
salary caps, have won more
restraints on players' free agency
than hockey or baseball.
In the current baseball negotia-
tions, owners want to impose
financial penalties on teams with
the highest payrolls, figuring that
will slow down the big spenders.
They also propose to significantly
increase revenue sharing in hopes
that it will close the gap between
rich and poor teams.
Baseball players grew rich on
free agency and they don't buy the
owners' pleas of financial dis-
tress, so they're countering with
proposals with a lot less bite.
"The players association will
never agree to a salary cap, or
anything close to it," said Gene
Orza, the baseball union's associ-
ate general counsel.
When it comes to spending on
players, owners don't always get
what they pay for. In his second
year at the helm of the
Washington Capitals hockey
team, Ted Leonsis is finding out
the perils of free spending.
With a payroll of $34.5 million
in 2000-01, his team won its divi-
sion. Buoyed with optimism, he
signed superstar Jaromir Jagr and
jacked the payroll up to $53.1
million - but ended up with a
team that will have to rally to
make the 16-team NHL playoffs.
It's a strange business. But
there's a book Leonsis' wishes
someone would write: Sports
Ownership for Dummies.

Clarion softball team splits Shippensburg tourney
by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Call Sports Editor
The Golden Eagle softball team
recently split a triple-header on
Saturday, March 23. The games
were played at the Shippensburg
Tournament at Shippensburg
University. Clarion faced off
against two teams during three
games, and won one of the
games played.
The first game against
Shippensburg University ended
up as a Clarion loss, 0-6. The
women went into the game with
game goals and specific areas of
focus. The team planned on
working the defense as best as
possible. The women worked
well together and played hard
during all innings, but failed to
score against Shippensburg.
The second game of the tour-
ney proved to be one of Clarion's
best of the season. The Golden
Eagles defeated Millersville by a
score of 6-3. Once again, the
women went in with a positive
mind set. The first goal of the
team was to improve the defense
from the previous game. The
women proved that they had
learned from prior mistakes and
made great plays throughout the
duration of the innings.
The Golden Eagles also want-
ed to work together as a team
unit during the entire game, no
matter the score. Clarion proved
that by focusing on team unifica-
tion, they were able to claim a
victory.
"We worked great as a team,"

Sophomore pitcher, Jen Reis, works on striking out her oppo-
nents during a game.
said Junior catcher, Emily
Sowers. "We meshed together
and learned to depend on one
another to make the plays and get
the job done."
Although there were no special
plays during the Millersville
game, the women played aggres-
sively in both the offense and
defense. The offensive goal for
the women was to make strong
hits and make sure that they
reached the base before the ball
got there. The defense buckled
down and worked on getting the
ball to the bases before the
opposing team was safe. The
pitchers also needed to focus on
striking out players, so the possi-
bility of scoring would be less-
ened. All in all. Clarion worked
hard and played intelligently to
capture the eventual win.
For the final match-up. The
Golden Eagles faced Millersville
once again. This time,
Millersville was ready for
revenge. The Golden Eagles
played hard and confidently, but
could not score against
Millersville defensive shield.
Clarion ended up taking a 0-6
loss to conclude the final game
of the tournament.
Although the womens team has
had a rocky start, there is a lot of
undiscovered talent on this
young team. The women are cur-
rently working on finding the
strengths of each of the members
to build a solid line-up.
"We are a young team with a
lot of talent. We are experiencing

team take a Clarion victory.
what any young team would, and
we're working on rebuilding the
system to make it stronger,"
added Sowers. "We all have
played well and are making
improvements everyday."
The Golden Eagles are striving
to improve their season record
and make it to the PSAC
Championships. Along with ath-
letic goals, these women believe
that academics are also very
important. This year, nine mem-
bers of the softball team were
honored during the Scholar-
Athlete luncheon.
The Golden Eagles host their
first home game on April 2
against Gannon. The match is set
to begin at 3 p.m. The team's
first PSAC match up will be on
April 3, where the women are set
to face Slippery Rock.

PS AC Indoor Track and Field
PSAC coaches award "Athletes of the Year" honors
by Ben Chandlee
Clarion Call Sports >Vriter
The Pennsylvania State
Athletic Conference coaches for
indoor track and field have
selected Amber Plowden of lUP
and Mike Newhard of East
Stroudsburg as the female and
male Athletes of the Year. Two
Lock Haven University athletes,
Brooke Rangi and Paul Hallman
were named female and male
Rookies of the Year as well.
Mark Elliston of Lock Haven
was awarded both mens and
womens "Coach of the Year"
honors.
Plowden, a senior from
Schenley high school in
Pittsburgh, took second in the
60-meter dash at the NCAA
Division II Indoor Track and
Field Championships with a time
of 7.48. She is a six-time All-
American, having earned finish-
es in the 100 and 200-meter dash
the past two outdoor seasons,
along with two honors in the 60-
meter for the indoor season.
Plowden was a national cham-
pion in the 100 last season. At
this year's inaugural PSAC
Indoor Championship, she won
the 55-meter dash and the 200-
meter dash in times of 7.12 and
25.45, respectively. She has won
the PSAC outdoor 100 and 200

Clarion University wrestlers
Eric Mausser and John Testa
came "oh so close" to their
dreams of becoming AU-
Americans on Friday, only to be
turned away at the threshold in
the 72nd NCAA Division I
National Championships at the
Pepsi Center.
Testa, who had upset defending
heavyweight champion John
Lockhart of Illinois in the second
round Thursday, dropped a 6-2
decision to returning third-place
finisher Garrett Lowney of
Minnesota in the quarterfinals.
He then lost a 6-2 verdict to
Kevin Hoy of Air Force in the
bout which guaranteed the winner
AU-American status.
Mausser, who lost his opening
bout in the tournament at 197
pounds to three-time defending
champion Cael Sanderson of
Iowa State, rebounded with three
straight wins in the wrestlebacks
before losing a controversial bout
against Missouri's Scott Barker.
Mausser, who entered the third
period of the bout tied at 3-3, but
with 1:19 riding time, saw his
season end amidst confusion and
meetings of the minds at the scor-
er's table.
The Clarion junior was locked
in an intense battle with Barker
when he attempted a single-leg
shot. Barker countered by using
an illegal head scissors, but in the
heat of battle he was awarded a
takedown with :20 remaining and
the official then began counting
for near-fall points. A whistle
quickly stopped the action as
both head coaches and the two
officials approached the table to
discuss the situation.
When the official returned to
the mat, he awarded a point to
Mausser for Barker's technical
violation, but let the takedown
stand, which gave the Missouri
sophomore a 5-4 lead.
Without restoring time on the
clock, the bout resumed and
Mausser attempted a standup to
gain a bout-tying escape. On his
way up, and while one of his
knees was still on the mat. Barker
locked his hands in a bear-hug
position as Mausser began his
way to his feet. As the final sec-
onds ticked off the clock and
Mausser was twisting violently to
break Barker's grasp, the Tiger
tripped Mausser to his back and
an apparent pin was called at or
after the buzzer.
The scorer's table ruled the fall
occurred just as time expired so

Graham Hermanns/The Clarion Call
Clarion's John Testa and Eric Mausser recently competed in ttie NCAA Div. I Wrestling tourna-
ment at ttie Pepsi Arena. Bott) ended just stiy of All-American titles.
the final result went into the
books as Barker claiming a pin in
7:00.
The truth be known, and it may
never be as is the case with many
judgment decisions in sports,
Mausser may have been the vic-
tim of one call which should have
stopped the action and another
call which was never made.
Clarion coach Ken Nellis, visi-
bly shaken after the loss, refused
to question the officiating in the
press. Rather, he praised
Mausser's efforts in the tourna-
ment.
"He wrestled great," Nellis said.
"He did a tremendous job and
improved on his feet and in the
top position." Mausser used his
skills in both aspects of the sports
to give himself the opportunity to
earn a medal.
He opened Friday's competition
with a solid 5-3 decision over
returning All-American David
Shunamon of Edinboro and fol-
lowed it with a 7-2 victory over
Drexel's Chris Jones.
Mausser struck for a takedown,
reversal and earned a riding time
point against Shunamon, who
placed sixth last season. His
receipe for success against Jones
was a pair of takedowns and a
reversal, plus riding time. He fin-
ished the season with a 34-9
record.
Testa, who had two opportuni-
ties to earn All-American honors,
simply came up short against
Lowney and Hoy. Lowney, a for-
midable opponent who earned a
bronze medal in Greco-Roman at
220 pounds in the 2000 Olympics
in Sydney Australia, -opened the
bout with a takedown off a
counter with :45 left in the first
period. Testa escaped to trail 2-1
after one period and was released
to tie the bout late in the second
period.
Lowney, who had accumulated
more than a minute riding time,
escaped :03 into the third to build
a 3-2 lead. Testa then sought a
takedown which never material-
ized and was countered by
Lowney with :03 left in the bout.
Lowney picked up the takedown
and added a point for riding time
for the 6-2 win.
Testa's 6-2 loss to Hoy, who
ironically eliminated the Eagle
junior by a 4-2 margin last year,
had a. different flavor. The two
traded escapes with Testa's knot-
ting the bout 1-1 just :05 into the
final period. Testa then decided to
attack.
He attempted a single-leg take-
down and pulled Hoy's leg into
his body only to have his oppo-
nent scoot his hips under the
Eagle and spin behind for the
takedown and a 3-1 lead.
Test^ escaped and tried another
single leg, but Hoy repeated the
maneuver for another takedown
and added 2:05 riding time for the
victory.
"(Hoy) was real tall and lanky
and I'm stocky," Testa said,
explaining Hoy's edge in lever-
age. "I shouldn't be too upset with
myself, but it's disappointing
because I worked my tail off."
Nellis was philosophical in his
post-match comments.
"The heavyweight class won't
get any easier for (John)," the
coach said. "But, he knows he
can compete with these guys and
he's proved it."
Testa completed the season with
a 34-7 record.

Stolen car may be linked to other incidents
by Amy A. Thompson
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief
Clarion Borough Police are investigating the
report of a stolen green Volkswagon Jetta. The theft
took place April 7 at 3:22 a.m. on 131 Grand
Avenue.
The owner of the stolen vehicle is Stephen
Lichina from Gibsonia, Pa. Lichina's son, David
Lichina, is a student of Clarion University and the
automobile was in his care.
Clarion Borough Police Chief, Mike Reed said the
police are looking for connections between this
incident and other recent incidents in which items
have been stolen from cars in Clarion.
The automobile was recovered after the suspect
struck a vehicle parked on Whilehill Place, near
Wood Street. The police learned that the suspect
was traveling north on Grand Avenue just before
the accident. After the accident, the suspect exited
the car and got into a waiting white Ford Escort
driven by an unknown person.
"We're only looking into the Ford Escort and the
driver as a potential witness," said Reed.
According to the Clarion Borough Police, wit-
nesses described the suspect as a white male
approximately 19-21 years old with a tall, thin
build and short hair. He was seen wearing a white
tank top and blue jeans.
If anyone has any information regarding the
incident they are asked to notify the Clarion
Borough Police at 226-9140.

Monday, April 15, at 7
p.m., dance and theater
artist, Sharon Wyrrick
will present "The search
for Barbara McClintock"
at Clarion University, in
Hart Chapel.
This is the first program
in a yearlong series to be
presented by Together
Equitably Advocating for
Mathematics and Science
(TEAMS), Collaborative
for Excellence in Teacher
Preparation in Pa,
Presidential Commission
on the Status of Women,
and the Women's Studies
Program.
In her performance,
Wyrrick uses poetry,
prose, music and visuals
to tell stories about the
life and work of geneticist
and Nobel Laureate
Barbara McClintock,
linking the creative
processes of the artist and
scientist.
McClintock, bom in
1902, was one of the few
women scientists working
in the early years of
genetics. She is best
known for her discovery of mov-
able genetic elements called
jumping genes.
After making her discovery in
the 1940s, the common belief was
that genes lay in a fixed order
along the length of the chromo-
somes. Her receipt of the Nobel
Prize in 1983 reflects the chal-
lenge her ideas faced in finding
acceptance. McClintock died in
1992.
Meredith Taylor, professor of
Dramatic Arts at St. Mary's
College of Maryland said, "In a
captivating performance of her
elegantly wrought work, 'The
McClintock Project,' Sharon
Wyrrick weaves together quota-
tion, commentary, image and
movement to form an insightful,
moving portrait of Barbara
McClintock."
Wyrrick will be visiting Clarion
for three days. In addition to her
public performance, she will
speak to Women's Studies and
Genetics classes, and also host
two programs in the new Carlson
Library.
Tuesday, April 16, at 4:30 p.m.,
Wyrrick will be in the Carlson
Library, Level A. She will pose
the questions, "What is a gene? A
model? Creativity?" to graduate
and undergraduate science and
mathematics students while the

scientist.
McClintock. born in
1902. was one oi the few
women scientists working
in the early years of
genetics. She is best
known for her discovery of mov-
able genetic elements called
jumping genes.
\fter rr>aking her discovery in
the 1940s, the common belief was
that genes lay in a fixed order
along the length of the chromo-
somes. Her receipt of the Nobel
Prize in 19S3 reflects the chal-
lenge her ideas faced in finding
acceptance. McClintock died in
1992.

Signs of Spring Fever
Your Views
Reader responds to student quote
It is that time of year again,
spring! The weather is getting
nicer, flowers are starting to
bloom, and the birds are chirping.
Now that the weather is tolera-
ble, it is getting harder and harder
to sit in class and to do work out-
side of class. We want to be out-
side working on our tans, cooking
on the grill, playing some wiffle
ball, and hanging out with our
friends.
Seniors are finding it hard right
now, because they know that they
are really close to the end of their
college careers. Ah, "senioritis" at
its peak.
Who wants to sit in class when
their adviser has signed their
graduation forms?
We know that we have two and
a half more weeks to the semester,
but on days like yesterday was, it
makes it hard to do work and to
make it to class.
Another event that is coming
during this beautiful time of the
year is the Spring Carnival. That
is always a sure sign that the
weather is looking up and that the
semester is coming to an end very
soon.
The Spring Carnival is the last
big event before the end of the
semester comes. During that
week, all we want to do is eat,
sleep, and party with our friends.
Of course Spring is not all fun
and games, there is work to be
done, spring cleaning. (If the cob-
webs have managed to form a
canopy over your bed, it is time to
start cleaning.) Cleaning is a time
to straighten up your life and a
reson to buy new clothes.
Another sure sign of the end of
the year is the Student Senate
elections. We are anxious to vote
for next year's Senate and we
hope that others will follow suit.
Voting is one way to express your-
self on campus.
The last spring issue we dis-
cussed was a sad one, the end of
the fall tv season. That means that
Friends is coming to an end very
shortly, along with the other great
tv shows that are on the air during
the fall and winter.
Even though the tv shows are
coming to an end, it means spring
has sprung and we are loving it.
After all, once spring is over we
can get to what we've been really
waiting for, summer. And who
wants to be stuck inside watching
tv in summer?
The weather is beautiful, cook-
ing on the grill is a good time, and
the games are outside create great
memories.
Dear Editor,
I would like to respond to the
March 21 issue that had as its lead
story an article concerning stu-
dent-banking services. One stu-
dent was quoted "...students incur
a surcharge everytime they use a
MAC machine in Clarion." This
is absolutely not true.
S&T Bank provides free MAC
usage to anyone that has a check-
ing account from our bank. As we
are the only bank to have two
MAC locations on campus (Hart
Chapel parking lot and in the
Gemmell Center) and another at
our 410 Main Street location.
We provide a great free service
to the students. We have a check-
ing account that is ideal for stu-
dents that has no monthly fee, no
minimum balance, unlimited
check writing, free
MAC/Checkcard and has over-
draft protection up to $300.
S&T Bank has also been a major
supporter of Clarion University
activities. We have helped the
Spring for Scholars Auction, the
Wild Game Dinner, the annual
scholarship golf outing, the
debate team, the arts programs
and have endowed an MBA
scholarship through the Business
Department.
As an alumnus and current pres-
ident of the Clarion University
Alumni Association, I look for-
ward to working with CU stu-
dents and helping with their cur-
rent and future financial needs.
I invite you to stop in to our
branch office to learn about our
services.
Sincerely,
Larry W. Jamison

-Liz Potter
As a college student, I have
noticed that a lot of people
take advantage of us, or push
us aside.
I am currently attending
graduate school. Over the
past few years, I have real-
ized that landlords take
advantage of college stu-
dents.
I am not talking about all
landlords, I am just speaking
from my own personal experi-
ence and from stories and
complaints from my peers.
I know that we are only col-
lege students and we don't
expect to live in the Taj Mah
Hall, but we do expect to live
the way our lease describes.
My lease stated that my
apartment would be complet-
ed in time and fully furin-
ished. I don't think that a toi-
let in the middle of the your
kitchen, a leaking shower,
and spackeled walls is a com-
plete apartment.
Our apartment was finished
one month into the semester,
but we were left cleaning up
the mess.
I also thank my parents for
bringing up their old furni-
ture because the landlord said
he was going to be furnished,
but was not. He claimed that
he didn't have enough for our
apartment.
Landlords take advantage of
us when they don't fix things
on time. I know people who
had clogged drains, no heat,
burnt out light bulbs, and
problems with ants, termites
and bats. A lot of apartments
are also made really cheap
and everything falls apart.
Do you think that the land-
lords care? No, because we
already paid them rent. They
don't fix things until after we
move out. They useour secu-
rity depesoitsts to pay for
these improvements.
If they don't find anything

wrong, they like to make
things up that have been
destroyed. I have never
received a complete refund of
my security deposit back.
I would like to know if
landlords have the right to
pro-rate our utility bills.
Isn't that illegal?
Why can't they just send us
the bill instead of estimating
a monthly rate?
We only use heat in the
winter so why do we pay the
same amount for electric in
the fall and spring?
Landlords also like to
increase the rent on a yearly
basis, they act like they are
going to lose money.
One of my biggest com-
plaints is that landlords don't
rent for one semester. (Unless
you want to live in a place
like the dorms).
They make you sign a lease
for a year, but what if you
only need a place for one
semester? I will be doing my
externship next spring so I
only need a place for fall. I
convinced my landlord to let
me sign for one semester, but
he pretty much doubled the
price.
Landlords act like they are
going to go in debt, when we
all know that they are not
even close. Most of them are
money hungry, and they know
that college students can be
desperate for a place to live.
I just hope that I am treated
with more respect when I am
done with graduate school.

audience observes.
Then, together with the audi-
ence, Wyrrick will explore
McClintock's ability to remain
open to finding the unexpected
and using it to guide her experi-
ments. Refreshments will be
served.
"Wyrrick's synthesis of mind,
body and spirit make the prtxess
of science come alive in ways that
only someone who intimately
understands the science of process
could," said Michael Glaser, pro-
fessor of English from St. Mary's
College of Maryland.
Wednesday, April 17, at 11:30
a.m., Wyrrick will present,
"Cultivating Creativity:
Interdisciplinary Approaches."
This will be held in the
Conference Room in the Library
Science Department Wing.
Wyrrick will examine creativity,
what all Nobel Laureates have in
common whether in sciences, lit-
erature, peace, or economics.
In her open dialogue, she will
look at the role of creativity in the
lives and work of several women
Nobel Laureates in different disci-
plines. Wyrrick will also lead
interdisciplinary exercises to
stimulate discovery and the cre-
ative moment in the participants'
own work.
Dorothy Fried, an education
consultant from Baltimore, Md.
said, "Wyrrick reminds us of the
courage and contributions of
women's public work as artist
meets scientist. What a twist as

Purchase of new laser printer pending approval
by Angela Bautista
aarion Call Staff W
Student Senate Treasurer Tom
Clopp moved to allocate $1,200
from the Capital account to the
Clarion Student Association
(CSA) for the purchase of a new
laser printer, pending the
approval of Clarion University
President Diane Reinhard.
The printers that are currently
used with the software are not
capable of handling the output
they are needed for. The account-
ing software has been updated,
and the printers are next on the
agenda.
The motion passed 19-0-0.
"We need to upgrade the print-
ers to the rest of the system," said
Student Senate President, Ben
Chervenak.
Treasurer Clopp also moved to
allocate $2,454 from the
Supplemental Reserve account to
Interhall Council for the
NACURH national conference.
The motion passed 19-0-0.
Treasurer Clopp of the
Appropriations Committee
announced the following account
balances: Capital, $116,216;
Large Item Capital, $174,202;
Supplemental Reserve,
$25,520.33; and Supplemental,
$9,326.
Senator Rebecca Emert, chair
of the Student Facilities
Committee, said there will be a
new padding installed into the
weight room floors in the recre-
ation center. This will help to
avoid further damage to the
weights.
In addition. Senator Emert said
a room in Gemmell has been
cleared out to await a decision by
the Credit Union manager to see
if they will be moving into the
room. A meeting has been sched-
uled to further discuss details.
Senator Tameka Washington,
chair of the Committee on Sub-
Committees moved to appoint
Angela Allgeier, Leslie Mills,
Kimberly Overholt and Allison
Stodart to the Campus Safety,

Volunteers are needed for the
Blood Alcohol Educator to visit CUP
by Susan Campbell
Clarion Call News Editor
The Blood Alcohol
Educator (BAE) van will be
stopping in Clarion
University, Thursday, April
18, 10 a.m.- 1 p.m. outside of
the Gemmell Student
Complex by the Recreation
Center. If it rains, the activi-
ties will be held inside
Gemmell.
Clarion University is the
first of four stops on the vans
tour. The three day tour also
includes Indiana University,
University of Pittsburgh,
Johnstown and Penn State.
Students who participate in
this program will be able to
play a virtual game on one of
the van's three computer sta-
tions. The game calculates
blood alcohol levels based on
gender, weight, and the state.
When you begin the game,
you enter your gender, weight
and state for which you want
to know the legal DUI limit.
After completing that portion,
the game takes you to a virtu-
al bar where you can pick out
different drinks ranging from
beer to shots to wine coolers.
Once you pick your drink,
you are given the option to
sip, drink, or slam it.
Based on the information
you enter, the program will
calculate your blood alcohol
level.
"It's a safe way of experi-
menting with blood alcohol
levels without actually harm-
ing yourself," said Darlene
Hartle, director of the drug
and alcohol program.
Once you figure out your
blood alcohol level, you can
compare it with different
weights by clicking on the
"FRIENDS" option.
Students who participate in
this program will receive a
free CD-ROM of the pro-
gram.
The BAE will be offering
brochures, television com-
mercials and posters. You can
also find out more informa-
tion about the BAE web site
which is: www.b4udrink.org.
There will also be
B4udrink.org napkins, coast-
ers and stickers.
The BAE is based on the
work of the Southern
California Research Institute
and the National Highway
Traffic Safety
Administration's own BAC
Estimator. Both organizations
have viewed BAE and found
it to be consistent with their
research.

CUP holds Public Speaking Invitational Public Safety Blotter
by Justin Young
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Zeta Phi Eta will he sponsDnng
its ninth annual Public Speaking
Invitational, April 23, at 6:30 p.m.
The Invitational will be held on
the second tloor of the Gemmell
Student Center. Students may
compete in any of the three cate-
gories: informative, persuasive, or
entertaining.
Those competing will be sepa-
rated into two levels. Level one is
for students who have not taken a
speech course. Level two is for
those who have taken a speech
class. There will be three rounds
for each level, with a first and sec-
ond prize being given for each
round at both levels.
The rounds are judged by facul-
ty members of the speech commu-
nication and theater department,
senior speech majors and depart-
ment alumni.
If speech majors enter the com-
petition they will earn their public
performance series credit.
According to Dr. Kristin
Marshall, professor of speech
communication and theater, all
students have something to gain.
"This gives the students out of
class experience, and it looks
good on a resume even if you
don't win."
The competition's rounds will
happen simultaneously in the dif-
ferent rooms on the second tloor
at Gemmell. This is done for two
reasons. It gets the competition
over faster and the contestants
won't have to be leery of big
crowds.
"The audience is spread out over
the rooms, so people don't have to
be afraid of a large audience,"
said Marshall.
The competition is open to all
Clarion University students. Entry
forms can be obtained at the
speech communication and the-
ater office, which is located in
room 140 in Marwick-Boyd. You
can also find them at the informa-

Q: Will my Uf)D appear on my state clearance background check?
A: Underage drinking citations do not appear on criminal back-
ground checks because they are not fingerprintable offenses.
However, they will appear on a vehicular backgound check. These
records can be accessed for a fee by insurance companies and also
by investigators doing a thorough review of an applicant.

CUP Trustees endorse Eberly Awards
by Josh Yoder
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Clarion University Trustees
recently endorsed Charles
Motter, Arthur Fleming, and Dr.
Earnest Aharrah for Eberly
Awards. Motter and Fleming
were endorsed for the Eberly
Award for Philanthropy. Aharrah
was endorsed for the Eberly
Award for Volunteerism.
Motter and Fleming donated
six rental properties to the
Clarion University Foundation
which continue to generate rev-
enue for the Clarion University
Foundation.
Aharrah is a 1949 Clarion State
College graduate. He also taught
at Clarion from 1966-1986.
Aharrah served as the first exec-
utive director of Clarion
University Alumni Association
and was one of the founders of
the Clarion University
Foundation.
In 1985, Aharrah received the
Clarion University Alumni
Association "Distinguished
Alumni Award."
In 1998, the Eberly Awards
were initiated by the State
System of Higher Education to
recognize and honor individuals
associated with each of the 14
System universities. Individuals
must advance the cause of public
higher education through their
acts of philanthropy and volun-
teerism.
The Trustees also approved a
7.3 percent increase in room and
board rates for 2002-2003.
During his presentation to the
Trustees, Harry Tripp, vice presi-
dent for student and university
affairs said, "The cost of our food
service is adjusted each year
based on the consumer price
index, which was 2.74 percent
this year. 1 am recommending an
increase of 3 percent. This will
allow for an increase in the food
service auxiliary budget to begin
renovations and expansion of
dining facilities."
Tripp also said, "The 2002-
2003 year will be the second year
of a room fee increase for fund-
ing the installation of sprinklers
and related fire safety systems in
our residence halls as required by
the Board of Governor's policy."
An increase in local telephone
service through Alltel and PBX
maintenance will be implement-
ed. A $125 increase per semester
is needed in order to continue'
renovations planned for the resi-
dence halls.
The combined room and board
rates per semester will be $2,172.
Clarion was tenth among the 14
members of the State System of
Higher Education in double room
costs during the 2001-2002 year.
Clarion ranked 13 at $737 in
the 19 meal plan cost. The com-
bined total of $2,024 is the low-
est in the State System.
The next meeting of the Clarion
University Council of Trustees is
May 9, at 7 p.m., in the Carrier
Hall meeting room.
Dennis receives Outstanding Sponsor Award
by Amy Ujazdowski
Clarion Call Staff Writer
At a recent Sigma Tau Delta
National Convention in Boise,
Idaho. Dr. Larry Dennis, profes-
sor of English, was selected for
the Elaine W. Hughes
Outstanding Sponsor Award for
the English Honor Society at
Clarion University.
Dennis was nominated by stu-
dents in Clarion's Rho Iota chap-
ter. The award is based on a fac-
ulty sponsor's service to the stu-
dents in his or her chapter, and
the activities noted in the nomi-
nating letter.
Dennis has been involved with
the organization for five years,
only becoming a co-sponsor and
co-advisor a few years ago. He
helps the organization plan
events, such as trips to Pittsburgh
to attend plays, symphonies, and
readings by famous writers.
"He has also been instrumental
in helping us attend conventions
and present at state and national
conferences," said English
Professor Dr. Kevin Stemmler.
Locally, Dennis helps organize
the High School Writing Contest,
which honors student writers in
the community. Each year he
assists in Sigma Tau Delta's
Reading for the Cure fund-raiser
for breast cancer research.
With the Rho Iota chapter as an
official sponsor for the Race for
the Cure in Pittsburgh, he is
always present in promoting the
chapter's commitment.
"I like the community of stu-
dents the organization has
brought together and its commit-
ment to the ideals of the society:
sincerity, truth and design,"
Dennis said.
Dennis is always trying to sup-
port the group in any possible
way. Taking credit for his
achievement even seemed a little
hard as he said, "I think I won
because of all the work Dr.
Stemmler, co-sponsor, and Erica
Krahe, student president of
Sigma Tau Delta, do."

Boise, idaho.
According to Dennis, Sigma
Tau Delta creates communities
where English majors come
together to explore areas of mutu-
al interest, attend a range of cul-
tural events, and undertake a vari-
ety of service projects.
Clarion University's Rho Iota
chapter of Sigma Tau Delta is
proud of Dennis and appreciates
his help in every way.
"Dr. Dennis deserves this award
more than anyone I know," said
Krahe. "He has done so much for
our organization and the students,
and I just wanted to let him know
how much his hard work means
to us. I am so proud to be able to
work with such a remarkable
man."

BSU visits Black Wax Museum in Baltimore
by Christina Meehan
Clarion Call Assistant News
.Edi!9r.
Clarion University's Black
Student Union visited the
Black Wax museum for the
first time in Baltimore, Md,
March 9-11.
Twenty-three students and
three adults had the opportu-
nity to view over 30,000
square feet of African
American history. The muse-
um has over 100 wax figures
and scenes, including a full
model slave ship exhibit
telling the powerful 400 year
history of the Atlantic Slave
Trade, an exhibit on the role
of youth history, and a room
highlighting the contribu-
tions of outstanding
Marylanders to African
American history.
BSU President and senior
rehabilitative science major,
Ian Wingfield, says the trip
was a great learning experi-
ence.
"We [BSU] learned what
our great ancestors went
through," said Wingfield.
"We also learned to appreci-
ate what they went through
for us even more."
One major exhibit is the
slave exhibit. There are hun-
dreds of wax slave figurines
packed into ships while being
beaten.
Syliva Jarrett, a senior
communication major, says
the slave exhibit was her
favorite part.
"I loved learning about the
lynching process," said
Jarrett. "It was like nothing
you'd read about in the histo-
ry books.
The Martin Luther King Jr.
display was senior speech
pathology major, Barbara
Hammond's favorite part of
the museum. The display
includes a wax figurine of
Martin Luther King Jr., pic-
tures of him, as well as sev-
eral original hate letters
addressed to Martin Luther
King Jr. from the Ku Klux
Klan to other citizens.
Hammond says the museum
is something everyone should
experience.
"It would be nice for every-
body to experience the muse-
um not just African
Americans," said Hammond.
"White people can learn
about the true African
American history as well."

Clarion graduate to compete
in Washington D.C.
by Ethan Pascoe
Clarion graduate Alex
Thompson has been invited
to compete for the National
Critics Institute (NCI)
award, April 15-21, at the
National Festival XXXIV.
The competition will be
held at the John F. Kennedy
Center for the Performing
Arts in Washington D.C.
In January, Thompson par-
ticipated in the Region II
Kennedy Center/American
College Theater (KC/ACTF)
festival in Pittsburgh, where
he was named runner-up in
the NCI competition. When
the winner declined the
invitation to compete at the
National Festival in D.C,
Thompson gladly accepted
the all-expense paid trip.
"I am really excited,"
Thompson said. "This is
something I want to do in
many ways and it is part of
my career goal. It will also
be my first trip to
Washington."
Thompson was selected as
one of only eight people to
compete for the NCI award.
At the festival, he will
attend plays, write a cri-
tique of the performance,
and submit them for judg-
ing.
The National Festival
winner receives an all
expense paid visit to NCI's
four-week conference at the
Eugene O'Neill Theater
Center in Waterford, Ct.
Thompson believes the
trip to Washington will be a
great way to sharpen his
skills.
"I will attend classes
taught by excellent critics,"
Thompson said. "The
Festivals are opportunities
to meet great people and see
great theater."
Thompson received his
B.A. degree in English with
a minor in acting Summa
Cum Laude from Clarion
University in December
2001.
He will be pursuing a
degree in composition and
rhetoric at the University of
Louisville this fall. He is a
son of Allan and Cindy
Thompson of New
Kensington and a graduate
of Valley High School.

Rusted Root to play at Clarion University this month
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
Break out your tye-dyed t-
shirts and patchouli - Rusted
Root is coming to Clarion. On
April 21, in the Tippin Gym,
Pittsburgh-based band Rusted
Root will bring their world-
beat flavored jam rock to
Clarion University, with a
concert that's sure to bring out
the hippie in all of us.
The now 11 year-old band
has been a live favorite of
Pennsylvania concert-goers
for years, racking up hit
albums such as Cruel Sun,
Remember and their latest
release, 2002's Welcome To
My Party.
By blending traditional
American rock with danceable
rhythms borrowed from
African and Latin native
musics, Rusted Root made a
name for themselves as being
different from the rest of
Pittsburgh's local bands.
In 1994, fueled by the explo-
sion of jam bands into the
general public's eye. Rusted
Root was able to score them-
selves a minor hit with the
song, "Send Me On My Way,"
a bouncy, upbeat number
heavily influenced by the
work of Paul Simon and his
worldbeat excursions on the
albums Graceland and The
Rhythm Of The Saints.
Along with then-emerging
acts such as the Dave
Matthews Band, Phish and
Blues Traveler, Rusted Root's
time in the limelight was
short, but bright. As interest
in jam-oriented music waned,
and tours such as the HORDE
festival decreased in atten-
dance. Rusted Root was
pushed from the national spot-
light, but was never forgotten
by their loyal Pittsburgh fans.
Rusted Root has always kept
in touch with their own
"roots," always coming back
to Pittsburgh for numerous
shows and events, and now
Clarion University can be
added to that list. The show
promises to be one of good
vibes, lively performances and
tight songwriting.
Also appearing with Rusted
Root are local Clarion bands
Roots Rising and KingSeed.
Roots Rising has been a fix-
ture on the Clarion landscape
for a number of years, making
frequent appearances at
Michelle's Cafe, and will
bring their own blend of tradi-
tional rock meshed with mel-
low alternative as they open
for Rusted Root.
KingSeed, who perform hard
rock originals and covers are
steadily expanding their loyal
fan base by appearing at
numerous shows all through-
out the east coast, including
playing the Nascar Brickyard
500 in Bristol, Tennessee and
the Groundhog Day Festival
alongside the Buzz Poets and
Crisis Car, two other
Pittsburgh favorites.

regarding the show, contact

Dance and theatre artist to
perform next week
story courtesy of
University Relations
Dance and theater artist Sharon
Wyrrick will present 'The Search for
Barbara McClintock" at Clarion
University on Monday, April 15, at 7
p.m. in Hart Chapel. The program is
fiee and open to the public.
This is the first program in a year-
long series presented by Together
Equitably Advocating for
Mathematics and Science (TEAMS),
Collaborative for Excellence in
Teacher Preparation in Pennsylvania,
Presidential Commission on the Status
of Women, and the Women's Studies
Program.
Wyrrick uses peltry, prose, music and
visuals to tell stories about the life and
work of geneticist and Nobel Laureate
Barbara McClintcx;k, linking the cre-
ative pitx^esses of scientist and artist.
McClint(x:k (1902-1992) was one of
the few women scientists working in
the early years of genetics. She is best
known tor her discovery of movable
genetic elements, called jumping
genes
When McClintock made her discov-
ery in the 1940s, the common bebef
was that genes lay in a fixed order
along the length of the chromosomes.
Her receipt of the Nobel Prize in 1983
reflects the challenge her ideas faced in
finding acceptance.
Wynick, from North Adams, Mass.,
is a choreographer, director, and solo
performance artist. She has been tour-
ing her original works nationally and
internationally for more than 20 years.
She has been recognized for the
National Endowment for the Arts
Choreography Fellowships, the
Washington, D.C, Mayor's Art Award
and the Washington Performing
Society Nirenska Award.
Wynick will visit Clarion for three
days. Besides her public performance.

Movie Review
Panic Room is a lackluster thriller
by Brad Hemmings
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Summer II
LS531 Wl-Alloway
LS558Wl-Sm]th
LS5(MW1-Harhai
The concept has been around for thousands
of years. Someone wants to kill you, and
you need to defend yourself. Instead of run-
ning away, you take position in a stronghold.
They used to call it a fort. In the future
maybe it'll be a huge, unbreakable bubble.
But for now, if you're as rich as Jodie
Foster's character, you can have a panic
room.
The panic room is a steel vault meant to
keep the bad guys out and the good guys
safely inside. It's supposedly impossible to
get into. But when three hoodlums decide to
try and get to the money stashed inside,
they'll test the panic room's true durability.
That pretty much sums up the plot of Panic
Room, the new film by thriller extraordi-
naire, Davijd Fincher. After several commer-
cial and critical smash successes, such as
Seven, The Game and Fight Club, Fincher
has secured his spot as one of the hottest
directors in Hollywood. However, in his
newest edge-of-your-seat thriller, he gra-
ciously allows us to comfortably use our
entire seat cushion, as the movie is more
intriguing than scary.
Certainly the thought of having your brand
new home burglarized on the very night you
move in is rather discomforting. But in the
film, at least originally, .the bad guys are
portrayed morfe as the Three Stooges than

...TraU Of Dead leaves rock stereotypes behind in their wake
by Keith Gwiilim
Clarion Call Lifestj'les Editor^
ARTIST/ ALBUM: ...And You
Will Know Us By The Trail Of
Dead - Source Tags & Codes.
FOR FANS OF: Anthemic,
melodic hardcore; with non-
whiny emo flourishes and
shades of art-rock.
FOR FURTHER LISTENING:
Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation,
mid-period Fugazi, Idlewild's
100 Broken Windows.
There's a lot of things about
...And You Will Know Us By
The Trail Of Dead that are rather
big and far-reaching, not least of
all their name. They sport a
huge, room-filling sound, claim
their name was given to them in
a.psychic message from a long-
dead Italian philosopher and
their albums contain a myriad
assortment of iconography; a
weird mix of medieval and east-
ern cultures.
Source Tags & Codes, the new
album from ...Trail Of Dead, is a
staggering statement of purpose
from these Texan indie rockers
(well, now that they're on
Interscope Records, I'm using
the term "indie" somewhat face-
tiously). Epic in sound and exe-
cution, and intimate in subject
matter, Source Tags & Codes is a
perfect encapsulation of ...Trail
Of Dead's sound, not to mention
a near-flawless rock album.
Emo-rock takes a (well-
deserved) beating in the rock
press (after all, who really wants
to hear some middle-class white
boy whine about how Bobbie
Sue dumped his ass?), but
...Trail Of Dead seeks to change
that on Source Tags... Lead
singer Jason Reece doesn't
whine and moan like a Jimmy
Eat World or Dashboard
Confessional; instead, he slinks
up next to your ear, and screams
a load of bile straight into your
brain, while his cohorts bash
away with fierce apocalyptic
intensity at their instruments.
In the opener "It Was There
That I Saw You," guitars pierce
through the opaque clouds of
ominous bass and thundering
drums like a ray of sunlight,
before Reece rips apart the lay-
ers of clouds to smite the
unfaithful like a wrathful Greek
god. Rapid-fire drums rolls
complete this thunderstorm of a
song, giving it a foundation of
granite.
"Another Morning Stoner"
moves from bleary-eyed groggi-
ness to a galloping breakneck
pace in a matter of seconds. The
awkward vocal arrangement is
thankfully offset by a sweeping
string section, which buries the
vocals far beneath the muddled
production. The most impres-
sive moment is the vaudeville-
esque outro, fleshed out with
seemingly decaying accordions.
...Trail Of Dead really kick out
the jams with "Baudelaire," a
full-out balls-to-the-wall rocker.
The drums settle into a jaunty
but aggressive groove, as the
lead guitar builds little stairways
from the edges, which Reece
happily climbs to the upper end
of the track. The chaotic brass
section which appears at the end
is impressive, making you wish
for more of the same, as it melts
away into a spacey outro.
"Homage" is Source Tags...
violent afterbirth, spewing ten-
drils of ...Trail Of Dead's blood
and guts into the stratosphere in
a tight, forceful package of hard-
core churning and truly creepy
atmospherics. Guitars hum like
rusted machinery and growl like
rabid animals as a simple and
overcast piano note is repeated.
The drum/bass combination
builds a tight cell which Reece
tries his damnedest to break out
of, lashing out at whomever is
listening. He screams "Do you
believe what I say?" and you're
afraid to think anything but
"yes."
The album's second half kicks
off with "Heart Is In The Hand
Of The Matter," posing like a
lost b-side from Daydream
Nation, complete with Thurston
Moore-ish mumbles, murky gui-
tars and unpredictable piano fills
and tempo changes.
Melodramatic lyrics such as
"There's nothing that can be
done. ..I walk in the shadows of
your tortured realm" subtract
from the song's impact, but
again, they're thankfully buried
far into the mix. Your attention
is also diverted by the delicate
piano, which is constantly
threatened to be squashed by the
texture-laden meat-grinder gui-
tars.
"Monsoon" marks the album's
only complete failure, a direc-
tionless song bogged down by
truly laughable lyrics such as
"Pray to God, but he's not listen-
ing/This world's a gutter that he
likes to piss in." The placement
of "Monsoon" on the album
makes it smart even more,
appearing at a crucial juncture
where the album should be cli-
maxing, not losing speed.
Thankfully, "Days Of Being
Wild," much like its title sug-
gests, is a raucous and thuggish
slab of hook-filled hardcore that
regains all of Source Tags...'i>
intensity. Thrustmg jabs of
unforgiving riffs pummel you as
a harmonious refrain rushes over
you. The closing moments bring
tempo shifts and multi-tracked
vocals, as Reece delves into a
stream-of-consciousness rant.
After the fragmented art-rock
outro of "Days Of...," "Relative
Ways" comes as a huge surprise.
As the album's most obvious
radio-friendly track, it contains
hooks carved out of marble and
a huge chorus that you won't be
able to shake from your head.
"Relative Ways" crescendos into
a speed-rush close, segueing into
the instrumental "After The
Laughter," formed from skeletal
piano and string sections of
melancholy grandeur.
The bittersweet closer "Source
Tags & Codes" carries the bom-
bastically-produced album to a
logical close, drenched in self-
importance and stadium-ready
riffage.
...Trail Of Dead attempts a del-
icate balance on Source Tags &
Codes, meshing many styles and
influences together. Thankfully,
all their little flourishes and
musical side trips are propor-
tioned wonderfully, resulting in
a lurching Frankenstein monster
of an album, raging against the
dying of the rock. 4 out of 5
stars.

Dr. Eleanor ter Horst, assistant
professor of modern language
and cultures, will present
"Technology and Terror: The
Vampire in Germany" in room
250-252 of the Gemmell Student
Complex, April 11 at 3:30 p.m.
The lecture is part of the Modern
Languages and Cultures Lecture
Series and is free and open to the
public.
F.W. Murnau's "Nosferatu," a
1922 classic of German
Expressionist cinema depicts an
ancient and deadly vampire, who
is nonetheless the focus of scien-
tific progress and technological
innovation. The vampire, whose
natural characteristics are under
scientific investigation, provides
an opportunity for the filmmaker
to display the innovative "special
effects" and aesthetics of
Expressionist cinema.

"Nosferatu," Werner Herzog's
"Nosferatu the Vampyre" in 1979
and E. Elias Merhige's "Shadow
of the Vampire" in 2000, display
similarly uncaring attitudes
toward technology and the art of
filmmaking itself. While
"Shadow of the Vampire" devel-
ops an explicit parallel between
the filmmaker and the vampire,
Herzog's "Nosferatu" features a
Romantic vision of the vampire
as a social outcast who eludes
scientific investigation and func-
tions as an image of the
artist/filmmaker. These three
films suggest various possible
critiques of the relationships
among cinema, technology and
aesthetics.
The Modern Languages and
Cultures Lecture Series is made
possible by a grant from the
Clarion University Foundation
and is sponsored by the German
Club.

All hot and bothered over winter sports
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
Have you ever wondered
how professional journalists
cover an international sporting
event? Well too bad, because
I'm going to tell you.
In February I spent three
weeks at the Winter Olympics
in Utah ("Where the Party
Never Stops Until 8:30 p.m.").
I was part of the press corps
swarming around Olympic
events in thermal underwear,
asking penetrating questions
such as: (1) Who won this
event? (2) How can you tell?
(3) What is this event called
again?
As you can see by these
questions, the Olympic press
corps does not always have a
solid grasp on the events it's
covering. Take, for example,
"short track speed skating."
This is one of those sports that
nobody you know has ever
heard of, let alone participated
in. You suspect that the
Olympic organizers invent
these sports just to see if they
can trick the press corps into
covering them. Clearly this
was the origin of curling ("I
know! Let's have the competi-
tors flail the ice with brooms!"
"No! Even the press corps
isn't stupid enough to fall for
THAT!").
I spent two nights watching
short track speed skating, and
I never did figure it out. It
consists of people skating
around very fast in a little cir-
cle, bent way over, with their
faces almost touching the
skater directly ahead, looking
like performers in a musical
extravaganza called
Proctologists on Ice. So far, so
good: It appears to be a race.
But almost always, just before
the end of the race, most of
the competitors would fall
down. This happened so often
it appeared to be the preferred
strategy ("Uh-oh! Finish line
coming! Time to fall down!").
So the winner often turned
out to be a competitor who,
until the end of the race, had
not been at all competitive.
One much-publicized Olympic
short-track event was won by
an Australian man who, many
eyewitnesses believe, was not
even IN the race, because it is
a known fact that there is no
ice in Australia. This man was
sitting off to the side, trying to
figure out which skate went on
which foot, when suddenly the
race officials handed him a
gold medal.
On those rare occasions
when the leading competitors
failed to fall down, the appar-
ent winner would cross the
finish line, skate around tri-
umphantly for maybe a
minute, and then ... get dis-
qualified. I am serious. In the
key races I saw, the officials
invariably declared that the
winner had violated some rule,
and therefore somebody ELSE
was the actual winner. Then,
no matter who had won, a for-
mal protest would be filed by
Korea, which as far as I can
tell is the only place in the
world that takes this sport
seriously.
So imagine you're a journal-
ist covering this event. You
watch the big race. At the end,
the ice is littered with fallen
proctologists. Out of this
chaos, a random winner
emerges, and is immediately
disqualified, at which point
the formal Korean protest is
filed. The crowd, 13,000 peo-
ple, is on its feet, going:
"Huh?"
And now you, the journalist,
must write a story on this.
Step 1 is to ask the journalists
around you if they have any
idea what just happened. (This
is basic journalism procedure;
it's what enables journalists
who cannot correctly fill out
their mileage reimbursement
forms to write stories about
the collapse of Enron.)
Once all the journalists have
determined, by interviewing
each other, that nobody has
the faintest clue how short
track speed skating (or Enron)
works, it's time for the entire
press corps to race downstairs
in a mob and interview the
participants. The irony is, at
least in short track speed skat-
ing, the reporters already
know what the participants
will say. No matter what ques-
tion they're asked, they'll
shrug and respond: "That's
short track!"
This is how they explain
EVERYTHING in their sport
— the falling down, the dis-
qualifications, everything. If
an alien spacecraft crashed
onto the ice and a 75 -foot-
high two-headed lobster
popped out and sang My Way,
the skaters would shrug and
say: "That's short track!"
At this point, you, the jour-
nalist, race back to the media
workroom, where you risk
being decked by microphones
wielded by angry roving
Korean TV crews, who are
DEMANDING SOME
ANSWERS on this gigantic
story, which has both North
and South Korea on the brink
of declaring war on somebody.
Somehow you must ignore the
bedlam around you and, in
minutes, produce your author-
itative story, armed with only
two facts: (1) Nobody knows
what happened; and (2)
Whatever it was ... It was
short track!
This is the kind of heroic
effort that we in the media
made night after night at the
Winter Olympics, so that the
next day's newspaper would
have a story that, you, the
reader, could ignore, because
you don't care about short
track speed skating. Not that
you should! It's a minor story,
really. Until the missiles start
arriving from Seoul.

she will speak to women's studies
and genetics classes, and hold two
programs in the new Carlson
Library. On April 16 at 4:30 p.m. in
a "fishbowl" discussion, Wyrrick
will pose the questions,"What is a
Gene? A Model? Creativity?" to
graduate and undergraduate science
and mathematics students while the
audience observes. With the audi-
ence, she will explore McClintock's
ability to remain open to finding the
unexpected and using it to guide her
experiments. Refreshments will be
served.
A second, luncheon program on
April 17 at 11:30 a.m., "Cultivating
Creativity: Interdisciplinary
Approaches," will examine creativi-
ty, what all Nobel Laureates have in
common whether in the sciences, lit-
erature, peace, or economics. In her
open dialogue, Wyrrick will look at
the role of creativity in the lives and
work of several women Nobel
Laureates in different disciplines.
She will also lead interdisciplinary
exercises to stimulate discovery and
the creative moment in the partici-
pants' own work.

professional thieves. It's not until halfway
through the movie, when the shooting starts,
that the intensity escalates.
There are a few disturbing scenes that'll
make your toes curl (literally). But for the
most part the movie excels in just two areas:
the convincing performances by some of
Hollywood's best actors, and the stylish
camera shots conceived by Fincher's bril-
liantly artistic mind.
Foster leads the small cast and turns in a
completely believable performance as the
cleavage-baring single mom who's scared
out of her wits. The role wasn't much of a
stretch for Foster who is in fact a single
mother who's had to get restraining orders
issued against stalkers in her past. The dia-
betic daughter in hiding with Foster is new-
comer Kristen Stewart, who looks more like
a little skateboarding boy scout than a
teenage girl.
The three bumbling burglars are portrayed
by Jared Leto, Forest Whitaker, and Dwight
Yoakam. For some unknown reason, former
country singer Yoakam {Sling Blade) was
cast as 'Raoul' even though his ancestry is
obviously zero percent Spanish, and a hun-
dred percent hillbilly. Thankfully, Raoul
leaves his mask on for most of the movie.
But for the few scenes that it's removed, we
learn the real reason he's after the money in
the panic room: plastic surgery. Yoakam
presents a frightful portrait of a crazed man,
who will stop at nothing to get what he's
after.
Whitaker and Leto are the other, more
intelligent would-be thieves. Their perfor-
mances are stable, but are greatly overshad-
owed in n]any scenes by the fantastic film
work of the talented Fincher. Several times
he blends nifty camera shots with computer
graphics to produce a virtual roller-coaster
ride through everything from kitchen acces-
sories to garden hoses.
The overall effectiveness of the movie
isn't as great as it could have been. It
almost seems as though the filmmakers spent
far more time planning the camera angles
than writing the script. While it was a
decent way to pass the time, it leaves me
wondering what could have been with a
movie that seemed to have such potential.
Oh, and much like this article, the ending
kinda sucked.

Today's Birthday (April 11). Your inner and your outer sides are in
alignment this year. You can clearly see what should be done, and
you have the courage to do it. You can succeed at this endeavor,
but success doesn't fall Into your lap. Your brains get a good work-
out. It'll be fun. Play by the rules.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 1 is the easi-
est day, the most challenging.
Aries (March 21 -April 19) - Today is an 8 - Don't get distract-
ed by a storyteller. Cut through the layers of words and through
other people's considerations to get right to the bone. You can see
what needs to be done, so do it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 6 - The pressure is
on, and it'll get worse. From now through Friday, hustle. Don't let a
stern taskmaster catch you leaning on your shovel, even if your
assignment is finished. Look busy!
Gemini (May 21 -June 21) - Today is an 8 - This is a fabu-
lous time to sign on with the winning team. It should be easy to tell
which team.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 5 - Maintaining your
positive attitude is appropriate, but grinning at the wrong time isn't.
For heaven's sake, don't laugh at somebody who's giving you
orders, even if he or she looks ridiculous.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is an 8 - Your planning pays
off, as you smoothly avoid what could have been a big mistake. If
you do stumble, pick yourself up and get back in the race. You're
strong enough to make up for it and still win.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 6 - Slice through the
superfluous and get down to the substantial. Think of it as mining
for gold. There'll be lots of digging, but you can hit pay dirt.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 7 - Your partner's idea
will stir up some controversy. Better work on it together a while
longer before making your presentation. Tone it down just a little.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21 ) - Today is a 5 - There's way too
much work and not enough fun. This situation is temporary and
could lead to profit, so don't complain. Have at It, and schedule a
date for Saturday.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is an 8 - Yes on love,
no on spending money. Your sweetheart will understand - or
should, at least. If he or she doesn't, he or she must prefer symbol-
ism over substance. Don't go for that!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is a 5 - Frustrations
often lead to creativity. Remember that when you're about to give
up. And don't lose your temper just because somebody else does.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is an 8 - Whatever
you're learning now is so interesting, it could interfere with your
regular job. It's important to study or practice, of course, but don't
jeopardize your livelihood - at least not yet.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 6 - Something you'd
like to make happen simply is not possible yet. That's just the way
that it is. That's not the way it will always be. You get to write that
schpt, starting now.

Womens rugby takes all at West Chester Tournament
by Ashley Good
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The Clarion womens rugby team went
for the kill at the West Chester
Tournament on April 6-7. The women
competed against five total teams begin-
ning with Bryn Mawr University in the
preliminary round and advanced tp the
final match against the U.S. Naval
Academy. Clarion trampled over all of
their opponents, winning the entire tour-
nament.

their first match on Saturday against Bryn
Mawr University. Clarion took an early
lead and held strong to the end. Try's
were scored by Danielle Loughlin (2),

Graeser. Graeser also converted two con-
version kicks. Clarion won 34-0.

Clarion was eager to avenge their loss to
lUP from the Pittsburgh Classic only two
weeks prior. Clarion jumped out top an
early 5-0 lead when Audra Graeser scoot-
ed in for a try in the first three minutes of
play. lUP came back and played a very

the Clarion defense. After try's scored
by Danielle Loughlin and Ashley Good,

an early 12-0 lead when Dani Loughlin
turned the corner on the Navy defense,
scoring two try's. Graeser made the con-
version only to be answered by a Navy
rush.
Navy came back to score after a series
of Clarion penalties pushed them back to
their own try line. Navy made their con-
version 12-7. Clarion then marched the
ball back up field and drove into the try
zone from a line-out of 5-meters with
Steph Haywood putting the ball down in
the Navy try-zone. This ended the first
half. 17-7
The second half began with Navy dri-
ving hard and scoring two tries to go up

Maryland students aviod riot charges after Terps' win

Police now say that no
University of Maryland students
were among those charged in the
riots that followed the Terps'
April 1 NCAA basketball cham-
pionship win.
Two University of Maryland
students were among the 16 peo-
ple arrested by campus, county
and state police after the vio-
lence, but they were released
before charges were filed, said
Cpl. Robert Clark, a Prince
George's County Police
spokesman.
"After further investigation, we
determined there was not enough
to charge them (the two stu-
dents), so we released them,"
Clark said.
Of the 14 who have been charged
so far, three were juveniles, and
police refused to release any
details on them.
The April 1 celebrations cost
the College Park community
roughly $50,000 in damages,
cleanup costs and preventive
measures, said City Manager
Richard Conti. U.S. Route 1 was

blocked for hours after thousands
of fans flooded Fraternity Row
and nearby areas after the Terps'
win over Indiana's Hoosiers.
Most of the damages were to
private businesses near campus,
Conti said, including a bike store
that lost several thousand dollars
in stolen and destroyed merchan-
dise. He estimated damages to
city property at about $5,000.
"We'll just have to absorb it,"
Conti said.
University of Maryland Police
arrested eight people, including
the three juveniles, said
University Police Capt. Paul
Dillon.
Clark said investigators contin-
ue to examine footage from sur-
veillance cameras to identify
rioters.
"As we identifv them, we will
take further steps," he said.
The university is working with
police to identify individuals
from the April 1 footage, said
university spokesman George
Cathcart. "If we do discover any
students who were involved,
there will be penalties," he said.
Last year, the university was
powerless to punish four stu-
dents arrested after a NCAA
Final Four riot on Route I,
because the student code of con-
duct did not allow students to be
penalized for off-campus misde-
meanors. That has changed,
Cathcart said.
"The student code of conduct
has been revised," he said. "We
can impose penalties now."
Cathcart said punishment
would depend on the offense, but
could include expulsion.

Golden Eagles tear into season: PSAC title in view
Courtesy of Sports
Information
Clarion University's 2002 Golf
team is tearing into the Spring
season under head coach Al
Lefevre. The Golden Eagles
return experienced veterans and
quality first year talent to make a
challenge at the PSAC
Tournament title in April.
Clarion opened its Northern
schedule at the Westminster
Invitational on April 1. The team
finished third out of 12 teams
overall. Matt Guy ton and Lou
Jesiolkiewic were the low hitters
of the invite with 79. Anthony
Tacconelli finished next for the
team with 82, followed by Paul
Garris with 85, Ryan Peffer also
added a 95 to the total team score.
The Eagles then travelled to the
highly competitive. Camp
Lejeune Invitational from April
5-7. Clarion took 1 1th of 31
teams and their team score was
902. Anthony Tacconelli led the
way with 221, while Lou
Jesiolkiewic followed close
behind with 222. Matt Guyton
was third for the team with 227,
Ryan Peffer took fourth with 232,
and Paul Garris was fifth with
250.
The team is coached by Al
Lefevre, who begins his third sea-
son directing the golf team. He
led the Fall 2001 team to a strong
showing in tournament play,
including a third place finish at
the Allegheny and Robert Morris
Invitational Tournaments. Coach
Lefevre has extensive coaching
experience.
The head or assistant golf coach
at nearby Brookville High School
from 1965-99, Al led the team to
Keystone Shortway Athletic
Conference titles in 1986, 87 and
97. Also Brookville's football
coach from 1968-82, Al was
named "Little 10" "Coach of the
Year" in 1969 and 1970 and led
his teams to conference titles in
1970 and 71.
The Golden Eagles are coming
off a strong Fall 2001 campaign
and expect to challenge for the
2002 PSAC team title. Last
Spring the 2001 team placed sec-
ond at the PSAC's shooting a
team total of 623 at Hawk Valley
C.C. The Golden Eagles have
improved every season under
coach Lefevre and another step
forward is the goal of the Golden
Eagles this Spring.
"We return quality players that
are tournament tested, plus have
added some strong freshmen that
could help put us over the top.
Our team goals are to qualify as a
team for the NCAA Regionals,
win the PSAC tournament. We
have excellent team chemistry
and I think we can accomplish
our goals with hard work and
dedication."
Senior Anthony Tacconelli will
captam the 2002 Golden Eagles.
The Clarion senior has had an
outstanding career. In the Spring
2001 season he placed 5th at
PSAC's with a score of 152. He
also fired a round of 66 at
Crossgates Golf Club at the
Millersville Invitational.
In the Spring of 2000 Tacconelli
took medalist honors at the PSAC
Championship by firing a one-
under par 141 for 36 holes,
including a 5-under 66 on the first
day and a 75 on day two under
horrible playing conditions. Last
Summer he won the 17th Annual
Bob Burgess Collegiate Shootout
at the Country Club of Hershey. A
three-time PSAC placewinner, he
also was 9th at PSAC's in 1999.
Four veterans with tournament
experience return to the lineup
including senior Dave Lichina,
junior Ryan Peffer, and sopho-
mores Matt Biddington and Paul

Lichina, a senior, has been a
consistently top player for the
Golden Eagles and will likely be
Clarion's #3 man this season. He
earned All-PSAC honors placing
7th at the conference tournament
last year with a 153. Dave set the
Clarion Oaks Course Record with
a 68 in the Fall and had a low
round of 71, while averaging
79.1. Last year Dave played 18
rounds and averaged 78.9.
Peffer, a junior, is battling for
the #4 or #5 spot in the lineup. He
averaged 80 in 7 rounds in the
fall, and played 18 rounds last
season while averaging 79.1.
Ryan earned All-PSAC honors in
the Spring 2000 season when he
placed 9th at the PSAC's carding
a 77-79, 156 total.
Biddington, a sophomore,
played 14 rounds and averaged
79.7 for the Eagles last year. He
played in the PSAC's and had a
80-82. 162. In the Fall Matt aver-
aged 80.0 in 6 rounds of play and
is expected to battle for a lineup
spot.
Garris, also a sophomore, also
is battling to get into the lineup.
He played 1 1 rounds last year and
averaged 80.2, while in the Fall
2001 season he averaged 83.5. A
long hitter, Paul hopes to use his
length to shoot low scores this
season.
Matt Guyton, only a freshman,
surged to the front of the pack in
the Fall as one of the leading
players at Clarion and in the East
Region. From nearby DuBois,.
Guyton averaged 73.8 in 9 rounds
during the Fall, while earning
medallist honors at the Clarion
and Allegheny Invitationals. He
has a low round of 70 already this
season.
The Eagles also have talented
freshmen Louis Jesiolkiewic,
Ryan Butler, Matt Gibson, Alan
Hosford and Jonathan Rogers.
Jesiolkiewic is a talented fresh-
man who is battling for a spot in
the lineup at 4 or 5. Lou had the
third lowest average in the Fall
with a 79.0 in 7 rounds and post-
ed a low round of 72. He earned
All-Tournament honors in the
tough Robert Morris Invitational.
Butler, from Canfield High, had a
MAC low average of 38.0 and
was medallist in the MAC
Tournarfient. Butler played two
competitive Fall rounds and had a
low round of 83.
Gibson, from Somerset, aver-
aged 83.5 in his two rounds in the
Fall. In high school he had a low
round of 34 and was a PIAA
Qualifier. Hosford, a freshman
from Cathedral Prep, played 2
rounds in the Fall and had a low
round of 83.
Rogers, from Penn Trafford,
impressed Lefevre in the Fall as a
walk-on and earned a spot on the
team. He also played two Fall
rounds and had a low score of 81 .
"We believe we have a very
solid golf team with plenty of
quality depth," stated Lefevre.
"The competition up and down
the lineup should bring the best
out of everyone and that will only
increase our chances of having an
excellent Spring. We are dedicat-
ed toward fielding a champi-
onship caliber team and will be
working hard toward that goal."
The 2002 PSAC Championship
will return to Hawk Valley C.C.
and is scheduled to be played
April 20-21.

Joy accepts "Sportsman of the Year" award
by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Cajl Sports Editor
Former Clarion basketball
coach and retired Associate
Health and Physical Education
Professor, John Joy, was recent-
ly honored by the Clarion
County Branch YMCA as its
"Sportsman of the Year." Joy
received this honor on March 30
at the Waldo S. Tippin
Gymnasium.
The honors were presented
during the third annual
"Sportsmanship I" All-Star
Games by game director,
Norbert Baschnagel. This was
the first ever "Sportsman of the
Year" award to be presented.
The foundation expects to make
this award an annual presenta-
tion for generations to come.
The inscription on the plaque
reads, "Presented in recognition
of your outstanding character.
fairness and courtesy through-
out your life."
According to the people who
know Joy, this fits his character
perfectly. He has always valued
the importance of education,
hard work, discipline and char-
acter throughout his career. He
has also touched many student
lives as well as other people in
the community. Apparent by his
character, no other person is
more deserving of such a presti-
gious award. Joy expressed his
gratitude during the ceremony
and believes the honor is a spe-
cial one.
John Joy is a native of Butler,
Pennsylvania and graduated
from Butler High School in
1933. He went on to attend
Slippery Rock University and
graduated in 1938. Joy began
his early career with jobs at
Jeannette and Monaca High
Schools. After only short stays
at these schools, he took a job at
Meadville High School in 1948-
49, turning a slow program into
one then took nine Conference
and four District titles. He also
made a 213-82 record at
Meadville and the Bulldogs also
played in three Western Finals.
He coached at Meadville until
1961.
Upon learning of Joy's out-
standing record. Clarion
President Dr. James Gemmell
and Athletic Director Waldo S.
Tippin invited Joy to coach the
Clarion mens basketball team.
Joy accepted the offer and took
the head coach title from 1962-
69. He also took a teaching
position as a Health and
Physical Education professor
while coaching.
Joy had an eight year record
of 76-80 with the Golden Eagle
men. The 1966 season was the
highlight of Joy's Clarion career
due to a 15-6 season record. He
also led the team to a runner-up
finish in the PSAC-West and a
D-18 playoff spot.
Joy had many outstanding
players under his wing during
the years he coached. Some of
these notables are Ail-
Americans Terry Thompson and
Jack Derlink.
After resigning from his
coaching career in 1969, Joy
continued to teach in the Health
and Physical Education depart-
ment until 1976 when he retired.
At the ripe age of 87, Joy
resides in Shippenville with his
wife, Jean.
John and his wife have a son,
John A. Joy Jr. and a daughter,
Patricia Joy (Brinkel). Joy con-
tinues to be an active member of
the Clarion Rotary, First United
Methodist Church, and many
other organizations and social
groups.

Track and field teams working toward season goals
by Erin Witner
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The Golden Eagle track team
was in action this past weekend at
the Duquesne Invitational. This
was not a PSAC meet so it was
not scored. There was a variety
of competition with some DIV 1
schools. Teams contending at
the meet were: University of
Pittsburgh, Duquesne University,
Robert Morris University,
Carnegie Mellon University and
Clarion. The Golden Eagles
came home with the satisfaction
of having a good meet and also
two school records were broken.
Carrie Bullman broke the
school's javelin record with a dis-
tance of 126 '9". The record was
currently held by fellow team-
mate Julie Evenoski with a dis-
tance of 125'!". It is a tight
competition with the javelin
throwers. Evenoski, Bullman,
and Crouch all held the school
record in javelin at some point
last season. Coach Mooney says,
"All of these girls are very strong
and competitive in this event."
The next school record was also
broken in the field. John Krol
now holds the school discus
record. The record was currently
held by Mike Rosensteel with a
distance of 132'0" and was set in
1994. John threw a distance of
133'8".
On the women's side Liz Eury
won the discus event with a dis-
tance of 126'5". This was Eury's
best throw this year. She also is
a PSAC Conference Qualifier.
Jen Boemer won the 5000m with
a time of 18:43:01. This was
Boemer 's personal best record for
the season. Jen also qualified for
the PSAC Conference
Championships.
For the men. Captain, Tim
Fabrizi came in second in the
200m and he also took home sec-
ond place in the 4x400 relay.
Fabrizi also nabbed a 4th place in
the 400m.
Coach Mooney was pleased
with the outcome.
"I am not dissatisfied with the
team's performance, everyone
went in and did their best, we are
ready for the conference meets,"
said Mooney.
Coach believes the team is

"very excited" and ready as they
will ever be for the upcoming
PSAC meets. Team members
have put in a great deal of hard
work and are ready to have their
time to shine. The team is
encouraging students to attend the
meet on Saturday. This is the
first of 3 PSAC meets.
Teams competing this weekend
are: Clarion, Slippery Rock, lUP,
and Cal U. This will be a very
competitive meet.
"We beat Cal and lUP last year.
and SRU Women, I would like to
duplicate that again this year, if
not, we can do better and beat
them all," added Mooney.
The meet is on Saturday, April
13, 2002 and scheduled to begin
at 1:00 at the stadium.
George Garbarino dinner held
Courtesy of Sports
Information
The fourth annual Clarion
University - George Garbarino
Scholarship "Wild Game Dinner"
was held on Saturday April 6 at
the Clarion American Legion
Hall, located at 530 Main Street.
The annual dinner, sponsored by
S&T Bank and Eden Inc, benefits
the George Garbarino Scholar-
ship Endowment at Clarion
University.
The annual event included
happ> hour, hors d'oeuvres, din-
ner, raffle tickets and chances to
bid on some great auction items.
Jim Thornton, the Game Dinner
Director, was in charge of orga-
nizing the event as well as ticket
sales. The Game Dinner was
organized in 1999 by Thornton
and raised $14,000 'in its inau-
gural year.
The night began at 6 p.m. with
Hors D'oeuvres, games and happy
hour, with dinner served at 7:30
p.m. featuring the culinary talents
of Executive Chef Kevin
Dittman. A special program of
raffles and auctions got underway
at 8:30 p.m.
Last year's dinner raised
$18,000 for the Garbarino
Scholarship Endowment and the
three year total placed into the
endowment from thedinner has
reached $50,000.
As always, the event was very
exciting with lots of great food,
stories and auction items. The
most important aspect of the din-
ner was the money raised for ath-
letic scholarships through the
endowment. If the dinner contin-
ues to raise as much money in the
future years as it has in previous
ones, the scholarship will hit a
mark of $100,000 in only four
years. The program will then be
able to aid more student athletes.
The cost of a dinner ticket is
$100 per person. You get a lot for
your $100 dinner ticket including
dinner items such as Venison
Scaloppini, Salisbury Elk Steak,
Moose Tips & Noodles, Curried
Caribou, Burgundy Bear, Billy
Goat Gruff Kielbasa and Sour
Kraut, Broiled Wahoo and Cero
Mackerel, Wild Game Cacciatore,

Incorporated. The money goes toward
area transitional housing for people
who have lost their homes.
"One of our goals is to raise over
$1,000," said Dan Winkle, Theta Chi
member.
K-Mart is donating the shopping
cart, which will hold the food dona-
tions, and the cardboard boxes from
which Theta Chi members will con-
struct a shelter.
"We plan on using this as an annual
philanthropy," said Winkle.
"I think it's going to bring our broth-

Biswick, Theta Chi member.
Members of Theta Chi discovered
this philanthropy after their national
consultant suggested it to them and
members of the group got in touch
with Clarion University's Community
Servce-Learning Office.
Other organizations and individuals
also can use the Community Service-
Learning Office as a way of promoting
their service.
"The hardest thing we do is to get
people to report to us the good things
they do," said Diana Anderson-Brush,

Workers in the Community Service-

the report forms for individuals and
organizations.
"We want to make it as easy as pos-
sible for people to report their ser-

Why should individuals and organi-
zations report their services? The
Community Service-Learning office
can provide a service transcript which
helps to build a resume, said
Anderson-Brush.
According to Anderson-Brush,
employers are looking for civic-mind-
ed employees and it is a great way to
build references and make contacts.
In addition, Anderson-Brush said
that people today are thinking about
what they can do for others. "This is a
very service-minded community," said
Anderson-Brush.
Also, the workers in Community
Service-Learning Office have to con-
duct reports documenting services as a
State System of Higher Education
School and on the national level.
An up-to-date directory of agencies
and contacts is available in the
Community Service-Learning Office.
The Community Service-Learning
Office works with what the needs of
the community are and what the needs
of the students are and tries to make a
match, said Anderson-Brush.
The directory is updated every sum-
mer.
The Community Service- Learning
Office keeps individuals and organiza-
tions updated through e-mail, a month-
ly newsletter, updates on the webpage,
posters, videonet and campus bulletin
boards.

Student Senate Elections
If last year's presidential elec-
tion taught us anything, it should
have been that every vote counts.
In the 2000 election,our country
lived without a definitive decision
about who was to lead this coun-
try for too long.
Granted if the student body
doesn't vote in next week's
Student Senate elections, the uni-
versity won't be without student
representation next year.
However, what you will be miss-
ing out on is the chance to make
the elections something more than
a popularity contest. Student
Senate decides too much of the
student body's fate for the student
body to be so apathetic.
Each year, the main issues peo-
ple in organizations complain to
senate about is the amounts of
funding given to groups and who
receives money for trips. When
voting, the student body is decid-
ing who is going to make these
decisions.
Now imagine this scenario.
When you elect student senators,
each senator has the opportunity
to run for president of Student
Senate. Each State System of
Higher Education Student Senate
president serves on the State
System of Higher Education's
Board of Student Governemment
Presidents.
Three representatives are select-
ed from BSGP to serve on the
Board of Governers. The Board of
Governers directly decides how
much tuition increases each year,
if at all. Everyone likes to com-
plain about tuition.
Even if Clarion didn't have a
representative on the Board of
Governers, our representatives
can voice what Clarion students
expect from the state system to the
proper representatives.
In addition to spending the
Activity Fee, Student Senate is
also responsible for promoting
diversity through programs such
as the Social Equity Banquet each
year. We hope that the student
body takes diversity into account
as they vote for a senate.
Senators also take part in a
SSHE Issue of the Year. This past
year's issue has been civility,
while last year's was public safe-
ty-
There are other issues that affect
students and you need to elect
senators who will reflect your
interest. Student Senators aren't
mind readers. You need to make
them aware of the issues.
The student body needs to vote
for a senate that they aren't afraid
to talk to. However, we think that
even if students elected their
friends they'd still complain to the
wrong people.
Like the old addage goes, "if
you're not going to vote, then
don't complain."

Dear Editor,
On behalf of the brothers at
Federal Correctional Institution
McKean and any other brother
in the correctional system who
Dr. Woodrow W. Yeaney has
helped in the struggle of their
business dreams:
Thank you for the countless
efforts in giving us answers to
our questions. Thank you for
taking the time out of your busy
schedule to correspond with us.
Thank you for not viewing us as
"just convicts" with broken
dreams who will never be pro-
ductive members of society.
Your help has encouraged the
discouraged directly. Your help
has given a lot of insight to the
view of the business world
despite the way some of us were
previously taught, understood,
and conducted business.
Your help has modeled the
minds of many who were in a
state of "arrested development"
who had no concept of business
and thought that they could
never achieve in the field of
legitimate business.
Your help has been very bene-
ficial, more beneficial than the
outdated, inadequate resources
and information made available
to us here.
We also hope that you would
encourage others to follow your
lead. Your example is strong.
If other professors, students,
members of the general public,
etc would help incarcerrated
brothers in one small way in a
field that they are familiar with
and that an individual is looking
to conquer, it can amount to
solid foundations, life-affirming
goals and a constructive plan
worth persuing in our re-entry
to society.
Thank you for your support
Dr. Woodrow.

...The Call has
been more than a
newspaper for me. §9
-Keith Gwillim
For a long time, I've tried to tai-
lor my final editorial to my exact
vision. I've labored over it in my
mind for months, and gone
through constant revisions within
the past few weeks. I had a grand
scheme to relate life to the Beach
Boys' Pet Sounds, filled with
clever metaphors about how I'm
just not made for these times,
anecdotes about the "Carolines"
that have walked through my life
and killer witticisms regarding
"Sloop John B."
And then I realized that I was
trying too hard. Not just on this
particular editorial's angle, but on
life in general. Pet Sounds is a
complex but not complicated
album. It's about young love,
growing up, the heartache of
leaving home and family, and
embracing life's simple plea-
sures, and really - isn't that what
life (and college in particular) is
all about?
I entered college as a scared kid,
and much has changed in that
time. Next year, I'll graduate and
enter the real world as a scared
young adult. The more things
change... but I digress.
Although I won't be leaving
Clarion until next year, I am clos-
ing a chapter on a very important
facet of my life here thus far - /iU
C^ieitCaff. Throughout my four-
year tenure here, 7^<?a/fhas been
more than a newspaper for me.
An experiment, a mouthpiece, a
training ground, a battlefield, a
hobby, an obsession, a teacher, a
family away from home and yes -
a thorn in my side as well. For
every "Wouldn't It Be Nice"
there's a "Caroline, No," after all.
ThCaffdxvdi the myriad of staffers
with whom I've had the pleasure
of working with have taught me
more valuable lessons than every
class I've had here combined.
I've made friends, enemies and
connections; bared my soul in
private and in print; dealt with
criticism and shelled out more
than my fair share; honed my
writing craft, patience, tolerance
and professionalism.

** ...any decrease in state
appropriation will mean
that System universities
will face even greater
challenges in keeping pace
with rising costs. 99
-President Diane
Reinhard
The news from Harrisburg is
not good for higher education.
There will be a tuition increase
with the start of the next academ-
ic year. The only question that
remains is how much of an
increase there will be.
Under the 2002-03 budget pro-
posed by Governor Mark
Schweiker, the Pennsylvania
State System, of which Clarion
University is a member, would
receive a base appropriation of
about $439 million. This repre-
sents a decrease of 3 percent in
the current funding level and sig-
nificantly less than the total
requested by the System's Board
of Governors. It should also be
noted that the Governor's current
proposal comes on the heels of
last year's essentially flat appro-
priation for the State System and
a tuition increase of 5.7%, the
largest in many years.
What does this mean for
Clarion University students?
From all indications, it appears
that another tuition increase is
inevitable for State System uni-
versities. While tuition rates,
which are set by the System's
Board of Governors, are typically
not known until July, they are
directly affected by the amount
of appropriation that the
Legislature awards to the State
System. Some projections indi-
cate that a decrease of 3 percent
in the state appropriation could
trigger an increase in tuition as
high as 12%.
While a tuition increase of this
magnitude is unlikely, any
decrease in state appropriation
will mean that System universi-
ties will face even greater chal-
lenges in keeping pace with ris-
ing costs. In some cases, costs
associated with mandates, such
as the requirement that fire sprin-
kler systems be installed in all
residence halls for safety reasons,
must be passed on to students
through higher fees.

Student Senate Elections
It \\.\>.\ \ oar's picsideiUial clec-

have been that every vnte counts.
In the 2000 electuni.our country
lived \vithi>ut a definitive decision

try tor \oo long.
Granted if the student body
doesn't \o\c in next week's
Student Senate elections, the uni-
versity uim't be withdut student
representation next \ear.
However, what yon will be miss-
ing out on IS the chance to make
the elections something n'n>re than
a popularity contest. Student
Senate decides too much ot" the
student body's fate for the student
body to be so apathetic.
Fach year, the main issues ptH)-
ple in organizatu^ns complain to
senate about is the amounts oi
lunding given to griuips and who
receives money for trips. When
\oiing. the student body is decid-
ing who is going to make these
decisums.
Now imagine this sconarux
When ynu elect student senators,
each senatt)r has the opportunity
to run for president k^^ Student

I'residents.
rhree representatives are select-
ed from BSGP t(^ ser\e on the
Board of Governers. The Board of
(joverners directly decides how
much tuition increases each year,
if at all. Hveryone likes to com-
plain about tuition.
Hven if Clarion didn't have a
representative on the Board of
Governers, our representatives
can voice what Clanon students
expect from the state system to the
proper representatives.
In addition to spending the
Activity F-ee. Student Senate is
alst) responsible for promoting
diversity through programs such
as the Social Equity Banquet each
vear. We hope that the student
body takes diversity into account
as they v(ne for a senate.
Senators also take part in a
SSHE Issue of the Year. This past
year's issue has been civility,
while last year's was public safe-
ty-
There are other issues that affect
students and you need to elect
senators who will reflect your
interest. Student Senators aren't
mind readers. You need \o make
them aware of the issues.
The student body needs to \o{c
\ox a senate that they aren't afraid
to talk to. fh>wever. we think that
even if students elected their
triends they'd still complain to the
wrong people.

Dear Editor,
On behalf oi the brothers at
Eederal Correctional Institution
McKean and any other brother
in the correctumal system who
Dr. Woodrow W. Yeaney has
helped in the struggle of their
business dreams:
Thank you for the countless
efforts in giving us answers to
our questions. Thank you for
taking the time out oi your busy
schedule to correspond with us.
Thank you for not viewing us as
"just convicts" with broken
dreams who will never be pro-
ductive members of society.
Your help has encouraged the
discouraged directly. Your help
has given a lot of insight \o the
view of the business world
despite the way some of us were
previously taught, understood,
and conducted business.
Your help has modeled the
minds of many who were in a
state of "arrested development"
who had no concept of business
and thought that they could
never achieve in the field of
legitimate business.
Your help has been very bene
ficial, more beneficial than the
outdated, inadequate resources
and information made available
to us here.
We also hope that you would
encourage others to follow your
lead. Yt)ur example is strong.
If other professors, students,
members of the general public,
etc would help incarcerrated
brothers in one small way in a
field that they are familiar with
and that an individual is looking
to ccmquer, it can amount to
solid foundations, life-affirming
goals and a constructive plan
worth persuing in our re-entry
to society.
Thank you for your support
Dr. Woodrow.
The righteous teacher.

^ ...The Call has
been more than a
newspaper for me. §§
-Kl ITH GWILI.IM
For a long time, I've tried to tai-
lor my final editorial to my exact
vision. I've labored over it in my
mind for months, and gone
through constant revisions within
the past few weeks. I had a grand
.scheme to relate life to the Beach
Boys' Pet Sounds, filled with
clever metaphors about how I'm
just not made for these times,
anecdotes about the "Carolines"
that have walked through my life
and killer witticisms regarding
"Sloop John B."
And then 1 realized that I was
trying too hard. Not just on this
particular editorial's angle, but on
life in general. Pet Sounds is a
complex but not complicated
album. It's about young love,
growing up, the heartache of
leaving home and family, and
embracing life's simple plea-
sures, and really - isn't that what
life (and college in particular) is
all about?
I entered college as a scared kid,
and much has changed in that
time. Next year, I'll graduate and
enter the real world as a scared
young adult. The more things
change. ..but I digress.
Although I won't be leaving
Clarion until next year, I am clos-
ing a chapter on a very important
facet of my life here thus far - f^
CimoH M(. Throughout my four-
year tenure here, 7^<?a#has been
more than a newspaper for me.
An experiment, a mouthpiece, a
training ground, a battlefield, a
hobby, an obsession, a teacher, a
family away from home and yes -
a thorn in my side as well. For
every "Wouldn't It Be Nice"
there's a "Caroline, No," after all.
TUCa&'diWdi the myriad of staffers
with whom I've had the pleasure
of working with have taught me
more valuable lessons than every
class I've had here combined.
I've made friends, enemies and
connections; bared my soul in
private and in print; dealt with
criticism and shelled out more
than my fair share; ht^ned my
writing craft, patience, tolerance
and professionalism.

But as I said before, life is real-
ly simple at the core; we just add
on complications and superflu-
ous layers for both our pleasure
and pain; to challenge ourselves
and occupy our time. Now is the
time for me to shed one of those
layers, and I bid the fondest
farewell to TU C^m ^a//, though
not without great difficulty.
Of course, now's the time for
me to dish out the sentimental
thank-you's; a staple of every
"farewell" editorial this paper
has seen. Jeff, what can I say? If
you hadn't taken the chance and
brought me under your wing
years ago, I wouldn't be here
now. I thank you for showing me
the ropes, not only in matters
regarding the paper, but in life
and friendship itself.
Tim, I've known you since 8th
grade, so anything I can say has
probably already been said a
thousand times over, though
never losing its value. You are a
true friend and Brother above all.
Chaffee, thanks for being my
constant workhorse and fellow
appreciator of "different" music.
You know, the only reason I'm
not returning next year is that
you won't be on my staff.
Dr. Barlow, you have gone
above and beyond the mere title
of "professor" for me. You've
praised my best times, admon-
ished me for the many missteps,
and I've learned each and every
lesson, including how to make

We need to work with the
Legislature to ensure that they are
aware of the benefits of our State
System and the high quality edu-
cation that its universities pro-
vide. We also need to advocate for
a restoration of the three percent
funding cut that will have serious
consequences for Clarion
University, its students, and all
universities and students within
the State System, who already
rely heavily on financial assis-
tance. On average. System stu-
dents graduate with a debt of
$16,000. For Clarion University
students, that figure is closer to
$18,500. .
Pennsylvania, like many states,
is struggling with budgetary con-
straints due to current economic
challenges. While we are sensi-

faced by the Commonwealth, we

'Who will ever know whether the threat
was real, misunderstood, or imagined?
Dear Madam Editor:
A headline similar to "Airliner
shot down; 375 die in New Jersey
crash" is a horror we may very
well live to see. If so, that com-
mercial passenger liner was shot
down, not by an Al Qaida terror-
ist, but by an Air Force fighter
plane-one of the many the Bush
administration has authorized to
patrol the skies over Washington,
New York, and other cities.
Our "leaders" have turned the
nation into a militaristic state-one
now more fearfully obsessed
with national security than ever
before. Air Force pilots may at
any moment be ordered to shoot
down an airliner crammed with
hundreds of innocent, sleepy pas-
sengers. Or when might their
lives be ended by an accidental
mid-air collision of an airliner
and a fighter plane on patrol?
What misunderstanding, mis-
read signal, error in communica-
tion or fake threat will lead an
appointed president or "defense"
secretary to order a hurried shoot
down, followed by unbelievable
moments of horror, then doom
for the hundreds who only min-
utes before anticipated a glorious
homecoming?
Who will ever know whether
the threat was real, misunder-
stood, or imagined? Would that
threat really have been carried
out (if there really was one) or
might it have been diverted,
overcome or given up? Who will
ever know what facility, what
body, what persons or what
empty field would have been
spared?
Are we morally willing to con-
demn hundreds of our innocent
fellow citizens to horror and
death, just possibly to save who
knows what? Why have we
silently allowed a selected, und-
etected administration the
authroity to risk the lives of hun-
dreds of passengers in such ludi-
crous irresponsibility?
Maybe this White House occu-
pant refuses to take any personal
risks, no matter how very very
slight, although he readily choos-
es to risk the lives of thousands
of servicemen and women, thou-
sands of innocent women and
children in third world countries
and many men, women and chil-
dren in allied countries.
The threats posed by Air Force
patrols over our cities have yet to
pass the lips of politicians, the
military and certainly not the
media, lapdogs of the national
security state.
In fact, the tag-along laudatory
media chorus bombards us with a
drumbeat of patrioteering, cheer-
leading and salesmanship for
war, without casualities, of
course. Dumbed-down journal-
ism and bad television are vacu-
ums, without background, history
or alternatives.
No questions, differing views
or dissent ever appear. These
willing supporters would have us
believe none exist. They remove
the inconvenience of thought.
"Harper's" editor, Lewis
Lapham, believes "the country
stands in need of as many ques-
tions as anyone can think to ask."
But the closed media circuits
offer no forum, no opportunity to
ask.

one. Over 40 students at Clarion
are running for the 20 open posi-
tions on the Student Senate for
the 2002-2003 year, running to
be your representatives, and also
to have the chance to shape
Clarion University for them-
selves, and every other student at
this university.
Starting this week, you will see
campaign signs going up, people
talking about their running plat-
forms, and maybe even a few
parties forming.
This will all come to a climax
next week on Tuesday, April 23.
The Open Forum will give all
candidates the chance to state
their platforms, and answer
questions from the students in
the audience.
The Open Forum is being held
in the Gemmell Multi-purpose
room at 8 p.m., so come support
your favorite candidate, and see
why so many students want the
chance to be your leaders. And
don't forget to "Get Out and
Vote," starting April 24, and run-
ning until April 26, with election
tables all around campus.
Another issue on the voting
ballots this year is concerning a
room in the student center. With
the new library up and running,
the old weight room in Gemmell
has been cleared out and is now
ready for use again, but what
should go there?
Lately, the Clarion University
Federal Credit Union has
expressed interest in obtaining
this room, giving them the abili-
ty to expand their services to stu-
dents of the university, and not
just employees and their fami-
lies. What do you think? It is
your student center, and senate
would like your opinion, and
that is why we want your opin-
ion.
There are many great changes
happening in Clarion right now,
many in which you can partici-
pate. So, don't forget to vote
next week for your student sena-
tors. You can truly be the driving
voice of Clarion University.

Blood donors needed to meet increased demand
April 18, 2002
Contributed by
American Red Cross
Officials of the Greater
Alleghenies Region, American
Red Cross Blood Services, have
issued an urgent plea for area
blood donors of all blood types to
rebuild depleted inventories.
"From January through March,
we've distributed two percent
more blood products to hospitals
this year than last year. Despite
meeting our monthly collection
goals in January and February, we
fell short in March by more than
1,500 units, and from January
through March collected four per-
cent fewer blood donations than
we did last year," said Tim Miller,
senior director. Donor Services,
Greater Alleghenies Region. "We
urge individuals who are eligible
to donate blood to do so at their
next opportunity over the coming
weeks to meet increased patient
demand."
Donors of all blood types are
needed. Supplies of O negative, A
negative and B negative and A
positive have dropped between a
one to one and a half days' sup-
ply.
The Red Cross attempts to
maintain at least a five-day inven-
tory of all blood types.
Miller explained that Type O
negative blood is the universal
blood type. "Area hospitals, par-
ticularly trauma centers, can't
function without Type O blood,
particularly Type O negative
blood, which can be transfused to
all blood types. Similarly, Type O
positive can be transfused to other
Rh positive patients, approxi-
mately 85 percent of the popula-
tion."
He added that because of post-
donation records review and
infectious disease screenings,
about 36-48 hours elapse from the
time of blood donation until
blood can be released to more
than 100 hospitals served by the
region.
"An adequate, readily available
blood supply must be on hand at
all times," said Miller.

Due to the low donor turnout at
the Clarion University drive April
16 and other regional drives,
please attend the Blood
Replenishment Drive at Gemmell
M.RR., Monday, April 29, from
11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
T-shirts will be given to the first
100 presenting donors.
Every two seconds, someone in
our country needs a blood trans-
fusion; the Greater Alleghenies
Region must collect at least 1,050
units each weekday to meet this
need. To be eligible to give blood,
individuals must be at least 17
years of age, weigh at least 105
pounds, and be in generally good
health.
Normally, individuals can give
blood every 56 days. Individuals
with specific eligibility questions
should contact the Red Cross at 1-
800-542-5663.
CUP to hold annual Health and Wellness Fair
by Christina Meehan
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
All aspects of wellness will be explored
at Clarion University's 12 annual Wellness
Fair, Friday, April 25, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., in
Tippin Gymnasium.
The Wellness Fair is designed for Clarion
University employees, students and the
community to explore the seven aspects of
wellness. Some of the aspects include:
social, physical, intellectual and emotional
wellness.
Amy Rakieski, a freshman art major,
thinks the fair is a great idea.
"I am going to the fair because 1 have
only heard about physical health," said
Rakieski. "I want to learn more about the
emotional and intellectual health, and
become more well-rounded."
Clarion Hospital is offering free health
screenings including glucose, blood pres-
sure, body fat analysis, grip strength, cho-
lesterol, pulmonary function and height
and weight. Free vision screenings are
being provided by Wal-Mart.
Other areas of interest include reflexolo-
gy, massage therapy, a canine search, chi-
ropractic screening, information on eating
disorders, stress management and family
problems.
UPMC Northwest Medical Center is
offering mammography screenings as well.
The cost of a screening will be billed to the
participant's insurance. Appointments are
limited and must be made to have a mam-
mography. To make an appointment, call
Keeling Health Center at 814-393-2121.
Angela Myers, a freshman computer
information systems major, will be getting
a mammography.
"I know women usually don't get mam-
mographys until their 40s, but you can
never be too careful," said Myers.
Door prizes will also be given away at
the end of the day. Registration for the
door prizes may be made at the Wellness
Fair. It is not necessary to be present at the
time of the giveaways.
A grant to help with the funding of the
Wellness Fair from the Pennsylvania
Faculty Health & Wellness Fund was suc-
cessfully applied for by Clarion
University's Association of Pennsylvania
State College and University Faculties
(APSCUF).
Parking is available at Clarion
University's Memorial Stadium. From
there, a Clarion Area Public Transportation
bus will leave on a regular basis for cam-
pus.
Ticket prices for those 65 years and
under are $1, children 12 and under are
$.50, and free to those 65 years and older
with proof of age (except for 7:30 to 8 a.m.
and 4:30 to 5 p.m.)

Student Senate
Students to vote on credit union during elections
by Robyn Hotter
Clarion Call Steff Writer
During the President's report at
Monday night's meeting, Student
Senate President Benjamin
Chervenak said he, Senator Amy
Cohen, Treasurer Tom Clopp and
himself had met last week with
members of the credit union.
They discussed the possibility of
moving the credit union to the
weight room space in Gemmell,
as well as granting students
membership to the credit union.
Senator Cohen, Treasurer
Clopp and President Chervenak
decided to leave the decision of
the future of the credit union in
Gemmell to the students by
allowing them to vote on the
matter.
President Chervenak said,
"When we have elections, there
is going to be a section on the
ballot that asks what do you feel
about the credit union taking
over the space."
Students will be able to vote on
this matter during elections,
which will be held Wednesday,
April 24 through Friday, April
26.
Treasurer Clopp, of the
Appropriations Committee,
moved to allocate $971 from the
Capital account to the
Panhellenic Council for the pur-
chase of a new computer pending
the approval of President Diane
Reinhard.
Discussion of this motion
included the fact that it had been
five years since the Council had
purchased a new computer, and
their current computer was
unable to use the Internet.
The Student Senate passed the
motion 20-0-0.
Treasurer Clopp also moved to
allocate $971 from the Capital
account to the Interfraternity
Council for the purchase of a
new computer, pending the
approval of President Reinhard.
Discussion of this motion
brought forth the question of
whether or not the Panhellenic
Council and Interfraternity
Council were considered the
same organization. Both groups
share one budget, one charter and
they share the same office space.
After the discussion, Treasurer
Clopp moved to amend the
motion on the floor thus allocat-
ing $1,942 from the Capital
account to the Interfraternity
Council and the Panhellenic
Council for the purchase of new
computers pending the approval
by President Reinhard.
The amendment passed 20-0-0.
After further discussion, con-
cerning the purchase of new
computers for the organizations,
Vice President Missy Gring
moved to table the discussion
until further information was
available.
The Student Senate passed this
motion to table the discussion
20-0-0.
During the Standing
Committee reports. Senator
Jackie Collier moved to recog-
nize Alpha and Omega Christian
Council Youth Forum as a non-
funded Clarion Student
Association(CSA) organization.
Alpha and Omega plan to offer
the University a dynamic style of
worship in comparison to other
similar organizations.
Vice President Gring said, "I
think every organization that
wants to apply for a charter as a
non-funded organization
deserves a chance."
Student Senate passed the
motion to recognize Alpha and
Omega Christian Council Youth
Forum as a non-funded CSA
organization 20-0-0.
Senator Collier also moved to
recognize Women United as a
funded CSA organization.
Women United requested fund-
ing in order to support the orga-
nization's programs.
The programs include confer-
ences that host various sessions
with various speakers geared
toward empowering women.
Women United, who consist of
approximately 25 women, plan
to organize programs and events
to unite Clarion.
Women United has raised
approximately $400 through var-
ious fundraisers including bake
sales, parties and food sales.
The Student Senate passed the
motion to recognize Womeii
United as a funded CSA organi-
zation 18-2-0.
During the Unfinished
Business portion of Monday
night's meeting, Vice President
Gring moved to bring back to the
table the motion to approve the
changes to the Student Senate
Constitution.
The motion passed 20-0-0.
Changes to the constitution
include changing freshmen elec-

hours of the President, the Vice
President and the Treasurer,
requiring the President to be in

school year; and requiring all
committees to hold monthly
meetings.
The Student Senate passed the
amendments to the Constitution

Williams, newest Fulbright scholar
by Jarah Heeter
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Dr. Charles Williams, associate professor of
biology, has been selected Clarion
University's newest Fulbright scholar, to
teach ecology and environmental history in
the History Department at the University of
Iceland.
Williams is very excited to teach and study
in Iceland.
"Iceland is a country rich in human and eco-
logical history and is an exceptional place to
study the dynamic relationships of humans
with the natural environment," said Williams.
Williams joined the Clarion University fac-
ulty ten years ago in 1992. He is a historical
ecologist with cross-disciplinary interests in
environmental issues including science, poli-
tics, history and economics.
He received his B.A. from Drew University,
M.S. from Rutgers University and Ph.D. from
Virginia Tech. He has taught classes in ecolo-
gy and environmental biology during his time
at Clarion.
He also helped establish Clarion's Center
for Natural Resources and the Environment.
The Center tries to promote cross-disciplinary
scholarship and learning in environmental
issues, energize environmental programs at
the University and provide information on
environmental issues that effect the region.
Williams also hopes to create an interactive
atmosphere while in Iceland.
"I would hope to be a spark that encourages
and expands cross-disciplinary thinking and
application among students and faculty at the
University of Iceland, specifically how histo-
ry, in union with other fields, contributes to
our understanding of human-environment
relations and in solving environmental prob-
lems," Williams said. "In this regard, I would
expect to reach out to other departments and
institutions within the University to identify
areas of fruitful collaboration in which facul-
ty and students from many disciplines can
interact."
The J. Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board
is providing a grant for Williams to partici-
pate. The successful Fulbright exchange pro-
gram was established in 1946 and is in its 52
year. It was introduced by former Senator J.
William Fulbright of Arkansas and was
designed "to increase mutual understanding
between the people of the United States and
the people of other countries."
The program is administrated under policy
guidelines established by the presidential
appointed J. William Fulbright Foreign
Scholarship Board. Scholarships are awarded
through open competition and final selections
are made by the board. Thirty-seven foreign
governments participate in the exchanges.
Williams is the eighth Clarion University
professor since 1981 to receive a Fulbright
award.

The Clarion University's

speak about, "When High
Culture Meets Low:
Popularizing French
Music Review
Literature," Thursday, April 18,
at 3:30 p.m., in room 250-252 of
the Gemmell Student Complex.
The lecture is free and open to
the public.
The distinction between
"high" and "low" culture has
always been debatable, and
recent attempts to popularize
some "classics" of French liter-
ature blur that distinction even
more. "High" culture is not
always esoteric, and "low" or
popular culture is more than
what the French call mere "vul-
garization." West's talk looks at
examples of "higher" culture
reformulated into more popular
media for a general public, and
what possibly gets lost in the
translation.
This lecture is made possible
by a grant from the Clarion
University Foundation, and is
sponsored in part by the Clarion

Jaz-O returns to the rap fold with startling new album
by Anthony V. Hiltz
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Marcy projects word-
slinger Jaz-O has been in the
rap game since the beginning.
I mean, I'm talking 'bout
back in the 80s when cats was
wearing Adidas with fat
laces, and people were rock-
ing the fuzzy kangoes, there
was Jaz. He was the one who
gave Jay-Z his first chance to
shine on the classic
"Hawaiian Sophie," but it
seems as if Jaz has laid low
since rap's early days.
In the 90s, Jaz only made a
few appearances on a couple
songs, but the man who
ripped the third verse in Jay-
Z's classic "Jigga What, Jigga
Who" just released his new
effort entitled Kingz Kounty
with his new crew. The
Imobilarie.
Many thought Jaz was sign-
ing with the Roc, but he never
did. Kingz Kounty will be
released on his own label, and
it is about to hit stores soon.
Does Jaz, aged in his mid-
30's, have what it takes to
keep up with most of today's
hip-hop albums, and will he
finally get the respect he
deserves?
The bulk of the production
on Kingz Kounty is done
mostly by Jaz-O, but the leg-
endary Primo laces two of the
tracks on the album as well.
The Primo tracks are "718"
and the second single to be
released from the album,
"Love Is Gone." The latter is
a tale about love being gone
in a relationship. Jaz-O and
Dibiase (the emergent star
from The Imobliarie) rap
back and forth in the first
verse to show they definitely
have a nice chemistry.
The first single off this
album was "Let's Go," and
even before it was released to
radio, it made a huge buzz in
the underground on various
mix tapes from Kay Slay to
DJ Clue. "Let's Go" features
the one and only Jigga Man
himself rocking over a ridicu-
lously addictive beat, with a
very contagious hook sung by
some unknown female. It
was inevitable that Jay-Z
would appear on this album,
since he and Jaz came up in
the game together. But is
their relationship still as good
as it was back in the day?
On the track "I Do," Jaz
spits "friend or foe/wanna
borrow ya flow/so nobody
knows a thing." Now is Jaz
taking a shot at Jay? Who
knows? One of the most cre-
ative songs Jay-Z has is
called "Friend Or Foe," and a
lot of people seem to think
Jay has took Jaz's style.
Even if this isn't a disguised
line directed at Jay, this song
is still banging and Dibiase
shines on this track with lines
like "My label call me
Shaq/They wouldn't trade me
for Ewing/You know them
guys, flow NY/Nickname
SONY, 'cause I'm SO N-Y."
The first family themselves,
M.O.P. (who reportedly just
signed with The Roc), add
their energetic personas to
"Pledge Allegiance" along
with the waterproof emcee
himself, Rass Kass (who
oddly enough only spits the
hook). This is by far the most
energetic track on the whole
album, but the production
could have been just a little
tighter on this track. Jaz does
sound kiiid of out of place on
this track.
Jaz does pull off a few nice
lines throughout the album,
but nothing I would call clas-
sic. On "Deadly," he spits
"I'm stoppin' up the com-
mode/Lock and load/For them
ice cream cats it's a rocky
road" over a hard-hitting beat
laced with many scratches on
the hook. One of the most
memorable moments on Kingz
Kounty is "Heroin & Crack,"
where Dibiase and another
member of The Imobliarie
spit like they are the two infa-
mous drugs.
After taking a long listen to
Kingz Kounty, you start to
wonder why Jaz doesn't spit
on more tracks, but I guess
you just have to realize that
this time around he was try-
ing to put himself and his new
crew out, The Imobliarie.
Dibiase emerges as the best
emcee in the crew (besides
Jaz) and proves it throughout
the entire album. Overall, I
must say that Kingz Kounty is
very balanced, and has a little
something for everybody.
But will Jaz receive the
respect he deserves from this
effort? I think not. This
album gets a 3 1/2 out of 5
stars.

Changing Lanes is a taut moral tale with action
by Brad Hemmings
Clarion Call Staff Writer
It is common knowledge in
Hollywood that movie studio
executives are lying scum who
will do anything to make their
movie successful. Often, they
will bill a movie as a particular
genre just to fill the seats. In
this case, Changing Lanes, the
new Samuel L. Jackson flick
was billed as a thriller. Well, if
Changing Lanes is a thriller,
then I'm Mickey Mouse. And
while I do have big ears, I hard-
ly ever wear red overalls.
Thrillers are supposed to thrill.
They're supposed to leave you
on the edge of your seat, heart
pounding, dying to know what
will happen next. Changing
Lanes is about 5% thrilling
action, and 95% moral drama.
So, don't enter the theater with
any false expectations. That
said, it's still an excellent movie.
Jackson plays Doyle Gipson, a
loving and devoted father who
wants nothing more than to have
the chance to actually be a lov-
ing and devoted father. He's in a
legal battle with his ex-wife to
prevent her from moving to
Oregon, which would basically
prevent him from ever seeing his

sons again. As he heads to court
to fight for the most important
thing in his life. Murphy's Law
kicks in, in the form of a traffic
accident.
Gipson's accident is with hot-
shot lawyer Gavin Banek,
played by Ben Affleck. Banek is
also on his way to court, but his
reasons are far less noble than
Gipson's. Banek is appearing to
present documents proving that
he and his bosses are the heirs to
a multi-million dollar fortune.
While the documents may be
genuine, the intentions are not.
Banek's bosses have every
intention of filling their wallets
with the money. So basically we
have a rather normal guy, and a
total creep, whose lives (and
cars) clash at the worst possible
time.
Instead of offering to help
Gipson, Banek simply says
"Better luck next time," and dri-
ves off, leaving his precious
documents behind. When he
tries to get the papers back, a
high-stakes game of cat and
mouse ensues. For every action
one man does, there is an equal-
ly painful reaction by the other
man. And I'm not talking about
petty, slap-on-the-wrist kind of
reactions. These guys produce
some of the nastiest, most cre-
ative repercussions since
Michael Douglas in Falling
Down.
But the movie isn't simply two
hours of two guys fighting each
other. When the two aren't
destroying each other's days,
there's a solid character-driven
movie about how making the
right or wrong choices can dras-
tically alter life. With an excel-

lent screenplay by newcomers
Chap Taylor, Anthony Picharillo
and veteran Michael Tolkin and
equally impressive perfor-
mances from Jackson and
Affleck, the film preaches that
people should make the best out
of every situation. The movie
stresses to not let your problems
snowball out of control until
they are unmanageable. Deal
with them intelligently as soon
as they arise; otherwise you will
be forced to make unpleasant
decisions down the road.
The end credits are a perfect
example of the movie's overall
tone. As they begin to roll onto
the screen, they are fuzzy and
unclear. They can't be read, as
were the characters in the begin-
ning of the movie. But as they
continue to scroll towards the
top, they come into focus, just as
the character's lives do at the
end of the movie. The ending
isn't exactly the most surprising
I've ever seen, but it is rather
fulfilling. It leaves you feeling
as though you can conquer any
problems you may have, and it
reminds us what is really impor-
tant in life. And yes, there are
much, much bigger decisions in
life than deciding whether to
attend class on a hot day.

Music Review
punk
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
ARTIST/ALBUM: Radio 4,
Gotham.
FOR FANS OF: Edgy post-
punk, danceable groove-ori-
ented music that's not afraid
to, you know, RAWK!
FOR FURTHER LISTEN-
ING: Gang Of Four's
Entertainment, Public Image
Ltd.'s Second Edition, Joy
Division's Unknown
Pleasures.
An incessantly head-bopping
bass, acting as a Koosh Ball
springboard for the alternat-
ingly crunchy and slicing gui-
tars, which hum like bumble-
bees on 'roids. Ping-ponging
keyboard scales prick sheer
walls of synth washes.
Energetic, frantic vocals that
have been fuzzed to a foamy
frappe. And a melody so
damn perfect it'll make your
stomach churn on itself. And
that's just the first song, "Our
Town," from Radio 4's sopho-
more release, Gotham.
These New York City
revivalists tear through post-
punk's back pages with gleeful
enthusiasm, borrowing a snap-
py guitar riff from Gang Of
Four here, a somber keyboard
section from Joy Division
there, and idiosyncratic vocals
from the likes of Mark E.
Smith and Big Audio
Dynamite all throughout the
album.
Changing their focus from
their more abrasive debut. The
New Song And Dance, Gotham
decides to focus more on hip-
shaking rhythms as opposed to
live-wire Brillo Pad riffs,
while sacrificing none of their
attitude or impact.
Songs such as "Start A Fire"
and "Calling All Enthusiasts"
showcase this new focus quite
nicely, ticking timebombs of
explosive playing, dub
rhythms and sly nods to the
forefathers of this sound.
"Start A Fire" mixes photon
blasts of electric-blue synths
and 70s cop-show guitars,
with drumming so air-tight it
makes a vacuum, sucking vio-
lently on the song's innards,
and heightening the air of ten-
sion.
"Calling All Enthusiasts"
works even better, with jagged
funk riffs, wavering Gang Of
Four vocals and dub lines so
deep you could sink a battle-
ship in them. It's capped off
with an ultra-suave outro that
shows Radio 4 knows how to
deal out the style with the sub-

stance in equal dollops.
Radio 4 also juxtapose the
melody-driven songs with the
beat-hotboxed tunes, alternat-
ing your mindset to sing-
alongs and getting down. The
flurry of skittering bongos that
greet you in "Eyes Wide
Open" should be all the proof
you need.
Even when Radio 4 decide to
showcase their darker side on
Gotham, they can't stop get-
ting your pulse pounding in
your ears with tracks like
"Save Your City." It's hard to
miss the echoes of Ian Curtis
and Joy Division here.
Primitive blips and bloops that
sound like R2D2 reaching
orgasm speckle your head-
space with dots of ashen gray,
while a bass line clearly lifted
from Peter Hooks' bag of
tricks is both foreboding and
flippant. The screeching,
acid-washed guitars provide a
counterpoint for the fragment-
ed, earnest vocals. Tommy
William's guitar in particular
hurls the song into overdrive,
and things couldn't be better
for singer Anthony Roman,
who just muses "Do do do doo
doo!"
The speedy, cab-forward
construction of "Save Your
City" is contrasted nicely by
the lacadasial, low-rider
stomp of "Speaking In
Codes," which bemoans the
quest for heroes, and speaks of
"men in musclemen cars."
Many of the cryptic lyrics
contained on Gotham suggest
codes, indeed. Many of the
vocals are so processed and
slid under layers of instru-
ments that they're damn-near
impossible to decipher, any-
way.
Gotham is filled with spas-
tic, unpredictable moments
that oftentimes save the rela-
tive familiarity of the produc-
tion and playing, such as the
sneak bongo attack in "Eyes
Wide Open," and the ghastly
static blast that rudely inter-
rupts the punkish freak-out of
"Certain Tragedy," just as it
climaxes, and just for the sake
of being gangly.
Towards Gotham's close.
Radio 4 really ups the dance
quotient of the album, with the
pinprick guitars and dub/ska
rhythms of "Red Lights;" and-
the reggae beats, ultra-bratty
vocals and watery, fluid gui-
tars of "The Movies."
It all culminates in "End Of
The Rope," the most obvious
call to the dancefloor on the
entire album, subverting rock
norms with cheesy vocorder
lines and herky-jerky beats,
which uncoil to reveal razor-
sharp guitars, pausing only to
slap out a disco-fied chorus.
Gotham loses steam during
the final moments, starting
with the overly-long "Pipe
Bombs," which is the album's
lone "art" track amidst a sea
of catchy pop ditties. "Pipe
Bombs" advances some nice
poly-rhythms and structures,
but doesn't really go anywhere
in its six-and-a-half minute
run.
Closing with the short, snap-
py "New Disco," Gotham ends
on a real "ehh" note. "New
Disco" is a quick, lashing
track, but seems out of place
here, especially following the
somewhat languid "Pipe
Bombs."
Radio 4, while not trying
anything new on Gotham, are
able to successfully regurgi-
tate their favorite records with
energy, passion and pinnace.
They're never really more
than the sum of their influ-
ences, but there's nothing ter-
ribly offensive about that.
What the Strokes are to early
NYC punk, Radio 4 is to Gang
Of Four. You sure could pick
a worse band to emulate. 4
out of 5 stars.

Sniffing out new weapon isn't a sweet task
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
The United States is developing an
Odor Bomb.
"Why?" you are saying. "Don't we
already have New Jersey?"
Fine, make your little jokes. But this
happens to be a serious matter of
National Security. According to news
items sent in by several alert readers,
the Department of Defense has asked
scientists to develop an odor that is
repulsive to all humans, regardless of
culture. This odor could be used by the
military to harmlessly clear people out
of a given area.
On the other hand, it would attract
dogs. The more disgusting something
smells, the more a dog wants to take a
hearty whiff. I recall one time when I
was home playing host to a hostile
stomach virus, and I suddenly had an
urgent need to (as we used to say in
college) talk to Ralph on the big white
phone. I made it as far as the hallway
before I went down on all fours and
released most of my bodily contents,
including, I am pretty sure, my spleen.
It was beyond repulsive, but it caused
my dog, Earnest, to go into a state of
wild dog elation, vibrating with happi-
ness and barking joyfully into my
right ear, as if to say: "THIS is the
best Christmas EVER!!"
So the Odor Bomb would not be
effective against dogs. But it would
definitely work on humans. I know
this, because I was present, decades
ago, at a historic demonstration of the
power of stink. This was in 1962,
when my class at Harold C. Crittenden
Junior High School of Armonk, N.Y.,
took the annual ninth-grade class trip
to the Boston area. This included
Salem, Mass., where we toured The
House of the Seven Gables, the setting
used by the prominent boring author
Nathaniel Hawthorne for his famous
book, Portnoy's Complaint .
No, seriously, the book was called
The House of the Seven Gables , and as
you recall (SURE you do) the house
contains a secret passageway. While
my class was tromping through this
passageway, one student — whom I
will refer to here as "Clifford,"
because his name was Clifford —
released a MAJOR odor. One theory
was that it was a stink bomb that
Clifford had purchased from the
famous Jack's Joke Shop in Boston.
Another theory was that it was
organically produced by Clifford, who
had a gift for that kind of thing.
Whatever it was, it smelled so bad that
they had to evacuate the entire house,
including all seven gables. That was
the last Boston class trip ever taken by
students from Harold C. Crittenden
Junior High. So let me just say, on
behalf of my classmates, by way of
sincere apology to all the succeeding
classes: Neener neener.
But my point is that the Pentagon's
Odor Bomb concept is theoretically
sound. According to an article in
National Geographic Today, odor sci-
entists are studying a mixture of aro-
mas from "vomit, human waste, body
odors, burnt hair and rotting garbage."
The scientists report that when volun-
teers sniff this mixture, they — pre-
pare for a startling scientific finding
— do not care for it. Perhaps some
day, our troops will use such an odor
to force the enemy to flee an area. If
that doesn't work, we'll escalate to
less-humane weapons, such as videos
of the "comedian" Carrot Top.
But here's what has me worried
about odor weapons: OTHER COUN-
TRIES MAY ALREADY BE AHEAD
OF US. I say this because of two
alarming foreign products brought to
my attention by alert reader Tom
Lemley, who sent me empty containers
for these products, which I swear I am
not making up.
One product is called "Drastic Toilet
Air." It comes in a spray can, on which
the only English words are "Drastic
Toilet Air," "New" and "Produced by
Johnson Wax Egypt." All the other
words are in a foreign language, so we
don't know whether this product is
supposed to combat drastic toilet air,
or — this is what scares me — it actu-
ally IS drastic toilet air, which could
be a powerful weapon, in addition to
an excellent name for a rock band.
The other product is an Iranian laun-
dry detergent called: "Barf." Right on
the box, in big red letters, it says:
"Barf." It also says: "To obtain best
result soak very dirty clothes in a
solution of Barf for a few minutes and
then proceed normally."
I'm sorry, but I don't see how we, as
a nation, can "proceed normally"
knowing that the Iranians have Barf,
and the Egyptians have Drastic Toilet
Air. The logical question is: What
does Iraq have? I hate to be an
alarmist, but I am frankly scared.
Because neither I, nor anybody I
know, has any idea whatever became
of Clifford.

Frailty is an effective thriller, though lacking in style
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
So, here's the situation. You and
your little brother are sitting in
bed one seemingly peaceful night,
without a care in the world. You
live in a respectable house, locat-
ed in an average neighborhood
with your widower father, who is
normally a kind, gentle, and lov-
ing man.
Then, out of the blue, he bursts
in the room you share with your
brother, and unleashes this story
on you:
Your small family unit has been
selected by the angel of God
Himself to be his righteous hand
in the final battle leading up to the
apocalypse. The three of you
must seek out demons lurking
here on the earthly plane, and
destroy them.
In order to accomplish this task,
you will be given three "magical"

weapons, which turn out to be a
lead pipe, a pair of gloves, and a
little ax named, baffilingly
enough, 'Otis.'
Sounds more like the work of a
serial killer than the hand of God,
doesn't it? And that's exactly the
problem little Fenton Mills faces
in the new thriller by first-time
director Bill Paxton (who also
stars in the picture).
Equal parts squeamish thriller,
examination of the family micro-
cosm, and a tale of religious and
social morals. Frailty manages to
entertain and provoke thought in
equal doses.
Paxton's directing style is rather
classic in nature, preferring to go
for implied violence, as opposed
to drenching everything in buck-
ets of gore. Most of the film's
most memorable and unsettling
scenes don't even include vio-
lence, such as the section where
the rational Fenton, who refuses
to believe his father really is act-
ing on behalf of God, is forced to
dig a hole, and then shoved down
into it for a week, with only one
glass of water per day, as a pen-
nance for resisting God's will.
Most of the story is told in flash-
back, as a man who may or may
not be Fenton as an adult relates
his harrowing tale to a skeptical
FBI agent (played with usual
wooden style by the terrible
Powers Boothe - Paxton must
have owed him a favor). Fenton 's
little brother has recently commit-
ted suicide, convinced that the
demons are winning.
What follows is the fully-grown
Fenton telling how his life
decends from idyllic small-town
existence to a hellish nightmare of
murder and religious psychobab-
ble.
The performances by all the
leads (excluding Powers, of
course), are wonderful. Matt
O'Leary, who plays the childhood
Fenton, is particularly effective,
as is Paxton, coloring in his role
with dark shades of ambiguity. Is
he mad? Or is he truly doing
God's work?
These are questions that would
have been best left unanswered at
the film's end; however, every-
thing is tied up in a neat little
package, which loses points for
the film.
One also wishes that the screen-
writers would have delved deeper
into the family's dynamic, which
would have provided better
insight in why Paxton's character
suddenly becomes so unhinged.
But suspend disbelief, and
you're left with a thriller that does
just that - sends chills up your
spine. Frailty is anything but. 3
1/2 stars out of 5.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 18). Don't throw your money around this
year. You'll be tempted, but you're much better off Investing in real
estate, or fixing up your home. Those are better ways to increase
your fortunes and your security.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easi-
est day, the most challenging.
Aries (l\/larch 21 -April 19) - Today is a 6 - You may be just about
worn out. Mental activity can be exhausting, too. Don't feel guilty
about resting.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today Is a 7 - Continue to gather up
the loot. The action is still too hot and heavy for you to count It
now. Just keep wheeling and dealing.
Gemini (May 21 -June 21) - Today is a 7 - You're determined to
succeed, but you'll need more than just enthusiasm. Add careful
research and budgeting, and you'll have it made.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 7 - Your plans should be
coming together by now. There are still a few last-minute things to
be done. No more procrastination. Take action.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today Is a 7 - You have a great list of pos-
sibilities. Now sort through them, carefully and on your own. Mull
things over until inspiration strikes. That should happen late
Sunday.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7 - Fame is nice, fortunes
can fade, but friendship Is forever. Forget an old misunderstanding.
Let the good times roll.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 7 - Pull in the reins. Keep a
lower profile. Somebody important, and potentially critical, is look-
ing your way. Look busy. No giggling!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is a 7 - You're ready to advance
to the next level, to step outside the box. Old limitations look flimsy,
so push them aside. You're getting stronger.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today Is a 6 - Is there something
you need in order to make your job easier? Something you can't
seem to find? Ask your partner or the sales rep to get it for you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is an 8 - Love is in the air. If
you join forces with somebody you care about, a difficult job
becomes fun. Don't waste money on romance. Instead, spend your
time freely.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 7 - You'll really be in trou-
ble if you don't get down to business - something other than mon-

Jeffrey Alley
My name is Jeffrey Alley and I am a sopho-
more. I am involved in many activities here
on campus and I also tutor at the Academic
Support Center. I would like to be on stu-
dent senate because I want to be involved
more directly with the university. I believe
being on student senate will do this. I know
I can bring many different views and ideas
with me to the senate.
Beryl Bray
T, Beryl Bray, an international student of the
freshman class has had a keen interest in
being a senator since the beginning of last
semester. I'm a friendly, outgoing individ-
ual who believes strongly in diversity. I see
myself as a perfectionist and someone who
tries to work for the benefit of others. My
interest in the senate is due to the fact that I
want to act as a mediator for students having
problems on campus academically and
socially.
Terrilyn Cheatham
My name is Terrilyn Cheatham and I am a
junior Political Science and Philosophy
major with a minor in Speech
Communication. Currently, I am a member
of Student Senate, Secretary for UAB,
Treasurer for Alpha Mu Gama, member of
the Speech/Debate team, and will be an
APSCUF Legislative Intern. As a student
senator, I work for the best interests of the
students and hope to continue doing so. The
most powerful voice on this campus is that
of the students.
People who risk nothing have nothing.
They can never learn, change, or grow.
Only a person who risks is free. Free to
voice ideas and expect them to be heard,
used and understood. One of the greatest
risks you as a student can take is voicing
your opinion. Let Student Senate give you
the chance to be heard, but more important-
ly understood. I ask that you take that risk
with me.

Amy Cohen
Currently I am a member of Student Senate
where I serve on the Student Relation and
Facilities Committee. These positions have
given me the opportunity to be a voice for
Clarion students whose voices have not been
heard. I am also an active sister of Delta
Phi Epsilon, in which I have held various
positions. Through these positions I have
gained the ability to stand up for those I rep-
resent. Please re-elect Amy Cohen to be a
Driving Voice for you.
Jackie Collier
Hello, I am Jackie Collier, a junior here at
Clarion with a dual major in Elementary and
Special Education. I am currently a Student
Senator and hope to continue to be a voice
for the student body next year. By being
involved as a Resident Assistant, Vice
President of IHC, and a Senator, I have
proven myself to be a diligent, hard worker,
a positive person, and willing to continue to
make positive change on campus.
Kenyata Dawson
If I were to be elected as a senator, I would
like to aid in the union of the students on
this campus. As a student on Clarion's
campus for three years, I've noticed that
some students don't feel comfortable with
bringing issues to Senate, which causes
division amongst the student body. I would
like to help put the student body at ease. As
a member of numerous organizations on
campus, I can represent many different stu-
dent perspectives such as the athletic view,
the minority student view and the Greek
view.
Rebecca Emert
Hi my name is Rebecca Emert. Being a cur

the opportunity to be a voice for the student

also a member of the Foundation Advisory
Board. Through these roles I have learned
to be a leader for all students. Vote for me
and I will be your driving voice again.

Hi, my name is Leah Fennell, and I am a
junior and a member of the Clarion
University Track team. I am majoring in
Communication and minoring in Dance. I
would like to be a member of the Clarion
University Student Senate for a number of
reasons. First I would like to voice my
opinion concerning the well-being of the
students on our campus. I would like to
promote Clarion University and all its activ-
ities. Lastly, I would like to help and be a
role model for incomming students to
become comfortable here at Clarion.

ties. As a member of Student Senate, I feel I
could use these qualities to contribute to the
vital and unbias decision making our student
body deserves. I am also interested in advo-
cating for a more positive Greek image on
the Clarion campus!

My name is Paul Garris. Currently I'm fin-
ishing my second year here at Clarion,
while also playing for the Clarion Golf
team, being a two year representative for
the Student Athletic Advisory Committee
and an active member of Kappa Delta Rho
fraternity. I believe I possess the qualities
that are needed to represent the student
body as a whole, as well as how to make
important decisions. Senate is nothing new
to me. I served four years on my high
school senate, and one as Vice President, as
well as a year as an executive board mem-
ber at Kappa Delta Rho.
I am involved with Clarion's Varsity Girls
Soccer Team and I beleive that I should be
involved with Student Senate in order to
give the atheletes of the university a repre-
sented voice in the organization. It's impor-
tant to give everyone on campus a say in
what happens within the university, and
because scholar athletes make up a big part
of the numbers of studetns here, it is benefi-
cial to have persons on athletic teams repre-
sented in senate.

George O'Brian
My goal if I was to be elected to Student
Senate would be to encourage campus wide
involvement in student activities. Our goal
of the senate is to give all students here the
chance to explore options here. As a stu-
dent athlete and leader on the team, I
believe I would be a great addition to the
senate. In closing, I waited until my senior
year to run for Student Senate because I
believe that it should take a good amount of
one's time and next year I would be able to
give the senate just the time it needs.

As a senator I plan to seek out the students
campus wide to receive feedback with
respect to their ideas. I will take these ideas
and try to implement them. I will enhance
the diversity within Senate and further edu-
cate the student body about diversity on a
college campus. The international and
minority students are not the majority here
at Clarion however, their voices shall be
heard in addition to those in the majority.

voice of Clarion students. I have served on

being the Housing Concern co-chairman on
Senate. I am also an active member of

I'm also involved with Sigma Chi as the

will keep serving the student body with an
open ear and an unbias opinion because we
are here to serve you, the student body.

I. Sara Heyl am a freshman member of the
Clarion University Women's Volleyball
team. Currently, I am a Graphic Design
major with a minor in French. I feel that I
possess many qualities needed to serve on
the Student Senate as a spokesperson for the
student body and athletes of the university.
I feel that I have the leadership and commu-
nication qualities to voice ideas, opinions
and suggestions that would help better the
many aspects of the university.
I am involved with Clarion's Varsity
Womens Soccer team and I believe that I
should be voted into Student Senate because
I can be a great representative for the student
body and for other athletes at Clarion. It is
necessary to have all students of every type
of organization making the decisions for the
university.
Renae Knapek
My name is Renae Knapek and I am a
junior Special Education and Art major. I
strive for excellence and have proven
responsible as an RA and student. I desire
to work in Student Senate, as a team to
make positive decisions for the student
body. I see this position, not as one of self-
ish gain but one of opportunity to truly be a
representative of the student body of which
I am a member.
I feel that I am very capable of becoming a
senator. I am hard working, and have an
open mind to all things. I want to be on sen-
ate to make sure that the students have a say
in what goes on here at Clarion. My two
main focuses are, 1. that all groups on cam-
pus have the. same opportunities, and 2. to
help make our campus safer, either by
adding lights, or more emergency poles. As
a senate, we can accomplish everything that
we put our minds to.

Renee' Porter
The reasons for wanting to become a
Clarion University Student Senator are to
become a voice for the Clarion University
student. As the campus continues to devel-
op into a very diverse community culturally
and socially, each student needs to be repre-
sented and accounted for. I will make it my
duty to go into the community, listen to the
people, voice the people's opinion and try
my best to accomodate to the students
needs.
Jeruiifer Reis
I feel that I would be a good candidate for
the Student Senator position because I am
willing to go the distance to do whatever it
takes to make a difference at C.U. I realize
that there are many problems with this cam-
pus and in order to get change around here
voices need to be spoken and heard. I'm
ensured my voice will be heard. So, the
main reason that I would like to retain this
position is to make sure some positive
changes happen around campus.
Shaun Saad
I have been a student at Clarion for two
years and I know that there are issues to be
addressed. For example, the parking on
campus is widely complained about because
students are being ticketed too often. There
are also safety issues that need to be identi-
fied and taken care of without delay. I
know that I would fit the role of a Senate
representative by communicating with the
students and focusing on their desires. I
will fully support the student organizations
that relate to the influence of the senate.
Mindi Schneider
I aspire to give a tremendous amount back
to this community that has already given
me so much. I feel that the most integral
part to a prospering college community is
passionate students who are willing to work

Colleen Sherk
My name is Colleen Sherk and 1 am a
freshman here at Clarion and I am running
to be on the Student Senate because I feel I
have many different positive ideas to con-
tribute to better our campus as a whole. I
have attended several leadership retreats
where I have experienced the role as a stu-
dent leader and I am a member of the
Clarion Volleyball team which adds to my
leadership experience. Public speaking also
comes natural for me and I would be proud
to represent of student body by becoming a
member of the Student Senate.

Throughout my freshman year, being an
active voice for the students on Student
Senate, I have enjoyed taking on responsi-
bihty in conmiittees, dealing with university
representatives and keeping communication
lines open widi the students. I am a very
committed, enthusiastic and dedicated per-
son and would like to become a member of
this organization again, in order to address
concerns, and to continue the betteiiiient of
the univeristy for our students.
Marcus Surin
My reasons for joining Student Senate is to
help spread diversity, so everyone's voice is
heard. In a sense I feel I represent the stu-
dents and their voices will be heard.
I think it is important to be more than just
involved, but to become an active partici-
pant in the decisions and concerns of the
university. I would like to be on Student
Senate so that I can listen to the student
body, speak for them if necessary, and con-
tribute to find solutions and provide assis-
tance.

lAU U-23 select side tourney
by Ashley Good
Clarion Call Sports Writer
The Clarion Womens Rugby
team sent 12 players to the LAU
(Local Area Union) U-23 select
side tournament on April 13-14.
The tournament is exclusive for
players who are under 23 years
of age. the 12 Clarion mem-
bers played for the Allegheny
Rugby Union along with five
players from lUP, four from
WVU, one from Juniata and one
from Pittsburgh. There were
nine competing unions from the
Midwest Territory (Ohio, Iowa,
Michigan, Chicago Area,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois &
Allegheny) that participated in
the event.
The ARU (Allegheny Rugby
Union) came in as the #9 seed
and had to play the #6 seed,
Ohio, and the #1 seed, Iowa, on
Saturday. Ohio was predicted
to win the tournament with a
roster that includes three play-
ers who are on the Women's U-
23 National Side, plus several
who are on the Midwest
Womens U-23 Side.
The first match was a tough
test early Saturday morning.
The Ohio RU (Rugby Union)
jumped out to an early 7-0 lead.
Allegheny was able to settle in
to the match and play some
physical defense for much of
the first half. Due to the limit-
ed practice schedule, the ARU
offense lacked much organiza-
tion. The team ended the first
half down 17-0. The second
half was similar to the first half
with good defense, but a strug-
gling offense. Despie the team's
efforts, ARU ended with a 0-41
loss.
The next team that Allegheny
faced was #1 seed, Iowa. Once
again, the ARU faced a very
tough opponent with Iowa RU.
The ARU managed to begin
putting some offense together in
the second half but were over-
powered by the strength and
agility of the Iowa club. ARU's
only try of the day was scored
by Kim Montesano of WVU and
the conversion was made by
Alicia Guarnaccio of lUR ARU
ended the match with a final
score of 43-7.
The final team that Allegheny
faced was Indiana RU on
Sunday, April 14. Sunday's
competition placed the ARU
against Indiana RU for a 7th
place in the tournament.
Indiana jumped out to a quick 7-
lead within the first few min-

fice. Twelve members recently played in the LAU U-23 tournament
utes of the half. The ARU
regrouped and put togheter its
best offense of the weekend.
This time, they buckled down
and marched the ball back
upfield to score two quick try's
by Alicia Guarnaccio of lUP
and Lindsey Parker of WVU.
Guarnaccio made the conver-
sion to go up 12-7. Although the
ARU women were ahead,
Indiana came back to score just
before half-time to take a 14-12
lead.
The ARU Women came back
strong in the second half with
two tries scored by Kim
Montesano of WVU and Mandy
Cobb of lUP The first play was
set up by a nice pass by Karen
Pentz of Clarion to put the ARU
on top for a 29-14 lead. Sarah
Molinero of Clarion was able to
break the Indiana defense into
the try zone late in the second
half but was denied the score
when the ball was held up of the
nine teams at the U-23s.
This was Clarion's first year of
competetion at U-23 Select
sides and to move up two spots
in the seeding for next year is
definetly a good start. The team
is already planning to increase
the practice schedule for next
year so they can go into the
tournament with better prepara-
tion under their belts.
Overall, the event was a great
experience for all of the partici-
pants. Players got the chance to

Softball
Clarion holds strong during tough games
by Stephanie DeFlorentis
Clarion Call Sports Assistant
The Golden Eagle womens
Softball team just came off of a
tough two-in-a-row, playing
games against Lock Haven on
Tuesday, April 16 and lUP on
Wednesday, April 17. The
women suffered two close loss-
es to Lock Haven, finishing the
first game 1-2 and the second,
4-5. The women returned home
for the next game, and despite
playing one of the smartest
games of the season, also suf-
fered losses to lUP. Both Lock
Haven and lUP are ranked
among the top 25 teams in the
nation.
Clarion went into both games
with several goals in mind. Due
to the talent of their competi-
tion, the Golden Eagles' main
goal was to stick with their
opponents. The women worked
on improving their hitting
against the #1 pitchers of these
nationally ranked teams.
Defense was another area that
the women concentrated upon
and they focused on keeping the
ball on the ground and striking
out their opponents.
There were several exception-
al plays during th past four
games. During the second game
against Lock Haven, Allison
Stodart got the ball all the way
from right field to first base,
tapping out the runner before
the opponent on third made it
home.
Another great play was during
the second game of the lUP
match. Clarion made a come-
back in the final inning and
scored a run to inch the score 3-
4. The women could not score
the extra point to send them into
overtime and the game finished
with a score of 3-4.
Ttie Softball team focuses on hitting during lUP game.
The women have had to switch keep a positive attitude and play
a lot of positions this year and hard through the remainder of
are finally getting the feel for the season. The next game is on
them. The team continues to April 20 at Slippery Rock.

explained Ron Wilshire, assistant vice
president for university relations.
"The new structure will provide bet-
ter service to students for these types of
activities. In the past, these services
were provided from separate adminis-
trative arms of the university and the
consolidation is expected to simplify
operations," said Wilshire.
In a memo to the university commu-
nity, Reinhard said, "The new depart-
ment promises to enhance both our
effectiveness and efficiency in meeting
student needs."
The memo also said the decision to
create the department came about after
the re-organization of Student Affairs
and the vacancy of the Associate
Athletic Position.
Athletic Director, Bob Carlson, said
the formation of the new department
also makes the intercollegiate depart-
ment flow better because he will only
report to the Vice President of Student
Affairs, Harry Tripp, in lieu of report-
ing to the Health and Physical
Education Department.
"It really makes sense at Clarion
because of the reporting chain," said
Carlson.
Carlson also said there was conflict
because the HPE faculty deals with
classroom issues, while coaches deal
with issues such as fund raising.
Coaches will still report to the Athletic
Director, as they do now.
In addition, Carlson said the budget-

ing would be easier because the process
already goes through Vice President
Tripp.
According to Wilshire, "The depart-
ment will include the athletic director,
assistant athletic director, and the
director of intramurals."
"It puts us all under the same umbrel-
la," said Carlson.
Carlson said the re-organization is
not expected to have an impact on cur-
rent practices and policies. The Student
Recreation Center still will not allow
athletes to use the facility for official
practices.
"The Center was designed to allow
individual students to use the facilities,
but require intercollegiate athletics and
academic courses to use Tippin
Gymnasium unless
there is a special
exemption granted,"
said Wilshire.
Wilshire and
Carlson both con-
firmed that the HPE
department and the
Director of
Intramurals, Doug
Knepp, were consult-
ed before the decision
was made.
"I'm looking for-
ward to a new rela-
tionship with student
affairs," said Knepp.
Knepp also said the
new department will
draft a recommenda-
tion concerning how
club sports policies
and procedures should
be handled.
Vice President Tripp
has not named a direc-
tor for the center. An
election will take
place for the chairper-
son of the Department
of Sports and
Recreation, said
Wilshire.

Weekend Initiative Flop
What ever happened to the
Weekend Programming
Initiative? Do you remember
the controversy at the begin-
ning of the school year when
everyone had to fill out the
proper forms and take it to the
right office? Do you remem-
ber how angry everyone was?
Many of us have wondered
if the Weekend Programming
Initiative was still going on
because we never see any
advertisements on campus.
Aren't the groups supposed to
advertise their events so we as
a student body can attend
these functions? Throughout
the initiative process another
important discourse has
arisen.
At this past week's Student
Senate meeting a man from an
organization came to com-
plain that none of the Student
Senators had attended his
group's event. Student
Senators at tne beginning of
year were told that one com-
mittee was to attend all events
each weekend and committees
would be alternated week to
week.
The exception to that rule
was for smaller committees.
The smaller committees were
to join together for atten-
dance.
There are a couple very
important problems we see
surfacing with lack of senator
attendance.
How can senators expect
individuals and organizations
to be excited about the
Weekend Programming
Initiative if they themselves
are not making the committ-
ment to attend?
Also, wouldn't the student
senators want to. track an ini-
tiative they themselves began
to see how they could improve
upon the initiative for next
year?
In addition, how are sena-
tors to know if groups are
actually holding their event?
Groups could actually get
away with not holding their
events, especially if nobody is
policing them.
We understand that some
events overlap and it may be
difficult for an entire commit-
tee to attend every event. Our
suggestion to student senators
is to make some sort of
appearance even if you don't
attend the entire event. Make
an appearance to let the orga-
nization know you care or
split up the committee even if
it is small. There are senators
who have attended and we're
not trying to say that all sena-
tors have shirked this respon-
sibilty.
However, TH*' Cftrhn Ca//and
lABC's "Game Night" was an
example of student senators
(and students) not attending
an event. Only one senator
attended our event (thanks
Ben) and our "Game Night"
was actually the first event
that was held. (Previous
events were snow related and
were cancelled due to no
snow.)
After hearing another stu-
dent complaining about the
lack senator attendance, we
have to wonder exactly how
many events did each senator
attend. We speculate it was far
less than promised.
We hope that the newly
elected senators will only
make promises they intend to
keep. As the students they
represent, it is our job to
police student senate and
make sure they follow through
on all of their promises.
It's nice to know money is
available for organizations
that want to take part, but if
senate is going to force us to
do something under the threat
of freezing our accounts, they
too must take the "initiative"
and give up their "weekend
plans."
Your Views
"Mr. Emerick's letter stresses paranoia that I
find quite appalling."
Dear Editor:
I am writing in response to
the letter by Kenneth F.
Emerick which appeared in the
April 18 issue of Tkt Ciaria^ Ctet.
After reading his opinion, I felt
it my duty to respectfully dis-
agree in writing.
Mr. Emerick's letter stresses
paranoia that I find quite
appalling. I cannot imagine
where Mr. Emerick would
obtain evidence of the likeli-
hood of a commercial airliner
being shot down by an Air
Force fighter due to accidental
or false information.
If there is no evidence to sup-
port such an allegation, then I
dismiss such a thought as need-
less paranoia, which is the last
thing the American public
needs in times such as these.
It is true that Air Force fight-
ers do patrol the skies over
cities and sights that could be
possible terrorist targets. And
yes, it is true that these very
same fighters could be ordered
to fire upon an airliner carrying
American citizens.
However, we must not over-
look the fact that the order will
be given only upon confirma-
tion of a threat on board the
plane-a threat that would guar-
antee the loss of more lives
than just those on the plane.
Remember, Mr. Emerick, this
is not an old, western town of
gunslingers we are talking
about here. This is the United
States of America, a country
led by some people a little
smarter than you and me.
As for the idea of mid-air col-
lisions between commercial
airliners and fighters, let's just
keep in mind that fighter pilots
tend to keep their eyes open
and pay attention to their
instruments while flying. They
are professionals in state of the
art fighters- they aren't going
to accidentally fly into the side
of a 747.
As for your opinions on poli-
tics, I am disturbed at the refer-
ences to the election of 2000.
If you are unhappy with the
outcome of the election, you
have my condolences, but it is
time to keep an eye on the pre-
sent and future- not the past.
If we were to look at past pol-
itics, let us remember a man
who allowed Osama bin Laden
to escape three times and who
ignored the real problems of the
Middle East in order to earn a
photo opportunity as the great
peacemaker of Israelis and
Palestinians. Anything to
establish and protect the
"Legacy!"
Mr. Emerick, you also com-
plained of patriotism shown by
the media. Shame on you! I
want to know when it became
evil to take pride in your coun-
try.
When did it become evil to be
proud to be a member of the
greatest nation on the planet?
Many media outlets report sto-
ries which disagree with the
policies of our current adminis-
tration.
One needs only to look as far
as CNN and ABC News to find
such stories. They are out
there.
Finally, I give my opinion. I
don't believe now is the time
for more paranoia. The
American people have enough
to worry about without fabri-
cating new prospective prob-
lems.
The United States has not
become a militaristic state.
Have you had any of your
rights violated lately? The
greatest violation of rights that
comes to my mind was the vio-
lation of nearly 3,000 rights to
live on a sunny day in
September.
Our responses to that viola-
tion of rights may not be popu-
lar with you, Mr. Emerick, but
many of us agree that changes
needed to be made.
We do need more security and
that is what we are getting. We
do need to eliminate future
threats to our country and that
is what we are doing.
I can not sit idly and listen to
you criticize my Commander-
in-Chief for attempting to take
control of the situation and
save countless lives around
America, as well as the rest of
the world.
Mr. Emerick, I speak this as a
yoQng man who very well may
have to put my money where
my mouth is. I realize I may be
forced to go defend your free-
dom and your rights.
That is just a phone call away
for me. And, although I dis-
agree with your opinion, if that
call comes, I will go defend it
anyway. That is the American
way.
God Bless America.

Gabe Coulter

I didn't pay atten-
tion to the details and
my window of opportu-
nity passed me by. §9
-Tim Conners
pa/tomfj Tim Com€^^
Gather around fellow students
while I tell you all a story. Not too
long ago I was all ready to sched-
ule my classes for the following
semester and I discovered that I
had a hold flag on my account.
Not long after this discovery, I
was standing at the financial aid
office trying to figure out what
had happened. The information I
gathered from the friendly people
was that my loan application was
never turned in and I had
absolutely no loan or financial
aid. To make a long story short,
three weeks after scheduling
began I was able to schedule.
With this whole ordeal of not
having a loan behind me 1 contin-
ued my college career.
1 scheduled classes that had
much to do about nothing. It was
ok though for 1 needed some free
electives on the degree audit. So
events progressed with me think-
ing I was just fine, until this
semester.
1 sat down with my degree audit
and discovered 1 had the full
potential to graduate over this
summer. I was in shock to see
that only one class stood in my
way because it wasn't going to
offered in the summer.
Because of this one class, I am
stuck here for another semester.
1 could look at this and blame
everyone I talked to or even the
university. To be honest though, I
can't blame anyone but myself
for what happened.
I didn't pay attention to the
details and my window of oppor-
tunity passed me by. I could have
checked my loan information on
the web, but 1 only assumed that
it was there. If I had, I would
have been able to schedule the
class I needed for this semester.
As for the audit, I didn't realize
how close I was until I really
looked at it. I always handed my
audit to my adviser and said
"advise me."
I mention this story so people
can learn from my mistake. The
advice I'm offering to students is
to pay attention to your audit and
your student account.

l$o£ at who fm Des0m€^,
Only a few weeks left until
graduation. After forking over
the money for my application to
graduate (funny concept) and for
my cap and gown (we get to keep
them, whoo-hoo!), I will be join-
ing the masses departing from
Clarion this May.
Throughout my four years, I've
read articles in this section writ-
ten by graduating seniors, with a
spark of derision and curiosity.
They inevitably ramble on and on
about how much they have
learned in this place, how much
they will miss it, blah blah blah.
Eventually, they are sure to
wander from their discourse into
the ever-enjoyable naming peo-
ple the majority of us have never
heard of and always with cutesy
nicknames like Smurf and Owl.
I never understood this- until
now. As I am just weeks away
from the biggest, most intimidat-
ing step in my life, I understand
the true meaning of "senioritis."
For me, it's not just the I'm-
graduating-soon-so-why-should-
I-do-any-more-work syndrome.
It really is a melancholy mood
I've sunken into, characterized by
random slips down memory lane.
*Remember that time, we
laughed ourselves silly until two
o'clock in the morning, marching
around the room with pillowcases
hanging from our heads;
♦Remember when I tried to tie-
dye my socks;
♦Remember wandering around
"Wallyworld" at all hours of the
night.
Ok, stop. I'm about to slip into
a eulogy about the death of a
wonderful part of my life. Way
too emotional.
So, what is the purpose of this
"farewell" piece? It is to tell of
an extraordinary event that hap-
pened to me this month and to tie
that in to what college is really
about.
Going to college is a gradual
transformation that you won't

ConnersI Advertising Design Manager warns students to pay attention to signs that may
help you to graduate on time, from Page 3.
I know I'm not the only one in
this boat and a lot of trouble can
be prevented if students pay
attention to their college material.
Don't trust you education to any-
one but yourself.
Don't get me wrong, your advis-
er is a good resource to use but
they see so many students during
scheduling that a miss on the
audit is possible.
As for the forms that need to be
filled out for your loan, one mis-
take can ruin the whole process. It
can be even worse if you don't
see the forms and have your par-
ents do them. They have busy
lives and they can forget as easy
as you or I.
So I'll tell you again, you should
have you fingers in every aspect
of your college career. You need
to pay attention or you can end up
like me.
Now that I have been able to
speak my mind I have to say that
it's for the last time.
After two years I'm retiring
from my position at TU CfaHoH Ctff.
So thank you to everyone in the
office. You have helped me in so
many different areas that I can't
even begin to express it properly.
Have a good one Clarion and
remember that no matter what
anyone tells you this has been the
best four and half years of my life.

I guarantee you will look back
as your four, five, six, seven or
more years draw to a close and
shake your head in amazement,
"Look at who I have become."
I've been whispering those
words myself It was because of
my four years as a
Communication major and my
experience with music that I was
able to land an interview with one
of the hottest bands on the popu-
lar music scene today.
Saturday, April 6, 1 interviewed
Jimmy Stafford, the guitarist from
"Train," not with a prominent
magazine or newspaper behind
me, but just as a college student
looking to break into free-lanc-
ing.
Four years of honing my com-
munication skills and powers of
persuasion, (thanks, Mrs. Wilson!
Oops, broke the no naming rule)
and I had my break. Jimmy was
unbelievably nice and down-to-
earth.
We chatted about the Grammies,
(Train nabbed two this year- one
for best rock song of the year for
"Drops of Jupiter") the upcoming
album, and life on the road (trust
me, there are lots of interesting
stories when you have five guys
living together in close quarters).
When I hung up the phone after
about twenty minutes, I had a grin
on my face that hasn't left yet.
This is what I want to do, and
thanks to my education at Clarion
I was able to do it.
So that's my spiel. Take it for
what you will. The only real
words of wisdom I have to give
you are the same ones Jimmy
passed on to me.
Find what you want in life and
make it happen. College is all
about finding what you want and
who you are. Enjoy the ride it's a
wild one!

Student Senate holds open forum
by Robyn Hutter
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Senator Justin Kauffman of the
Student Relations Committee
opened up Tuesday night's
Student open forum by welcom-
ing 24 Student Senate candidates
to participate in a one-minute
platform.
Each candidate took this time to
introduce themselves, state their
extracurricular activities and
explain their reasoning for candi-
dacy.
The 24 candidates in attendance
were Jeffery Alley, Beryl Bray,
Terrilyn Cheatham, Erika Clark,
Amy Cohen, Jackie Collier,
Kenyata Dawson, Rebecca Emert,
Leah Fennell, Janna Gallagher,
Paul Garris, Renae Knapek, Dale
McCall, George O'Brian,
Brandon Phillips, Robert Pica,
Renee Porter, Jennifer Reis,
Shaun Saad, Mindi Schneider,
Sarah Snyder, Marcus Surin and
Shamira Underwood.
Following the one-minute plat-
forms, students and current mem-
bers of Student Senate participat-
ed in a question-answer session
moderated by Dr. Anand Rao,
professor of speech communica-
tion and theater. During this time,
each candidate was given an open
opportunity to answer each ques-
tion directly to the audience.
"A number of you mentioned
that you want to be the voice of
the student body and it was also
mentioned that there is a lot of
student apathy on campus, and
I know in years past there's
been difficulty in finding out
exactly what the students want
to have done. What do you pro-
pose should be done to better
receive student input for
Student Senate and also
decrease student apathy?"
"I feel that the lines of commu-
nication are closed between stu-
dents and Senate, students to fac-
ulty, faculty to students. I believe
that there should be a very big
bulletin board placed in the com-
plex and any complaints and con-
cerns, any questions that anyone
has-post them up. They will not
be ripped down; they will not be
defaced. Student Senate, I feel,
should check this bulletin board
everyday," said Porter.
"I think there is a lot of student
apathy on campus because a lot of
the organizations are unaware of
exactly what to do and the fear of
the unknown will keep them from
asking questions or becoming
more involved. I would like to
propose ideas for a possible
retreat to understand the applica-
tions of the Student Senate and
how do we use them throughout
the year," said Clark.
"As far as the Student apathy on
campus, I am definitely for the
weekend programming initiative.
I think it is a great opportunity to
keep students up here on week-
ends. We have a lot of potential to
do great things in the community
and all over the state," said
Phillips.
''Are any of you planning on
running for executive positions
on Student Senate, and if so,
what do you know about the
position?"
"If I am reelected to Senate, I
plan on running for Treasurer and
being on the Appropriations
Committee this past year, I filled
the budgets hand in hand with
everyone in that committee and
knowing what is to be expected
and if there are budget hearings
the following year there should be
more clarifications on what
should be expected, what is usual-
ly funded for and just a matter of
getting more communication to
organizations," said Snyder.
"If I am reelected to Student
Senate, I plan on running for
President. I have taken the time to
work with Ben Chervenak, the
current President trying to get a
feel for exactly what his job
involves. I feel I am familiar with
each of the committees and their
responsibilities. I was on the
appropriations committee. I feel
that I have the ability to take
charge and keep and open mind,"
said Phillips.
"If reelected to Senate, I have
the intentions of running for
Parliamentarian. I feel that my
past year on Senate has given me
experience with dealing with
motions and amending different
things, and I feel that the meetings
would be able to run smoothly if I
was elected as Parliamentarian,"
said Cohen.
"I want to run for Vice President
if reelected. I think that I would
definitely be able to handle the
job. I have had two great leaders
to look after-Missy and Ben. I
also want to do something a little
bit different next year if reelected.
As a new Senator, I really didn't
understand what was all going on
in the beginning, and I want to
make sure that everybody gets a
good idea of what to expect at the
beginning of the meetings and
understand the processes and
what Senate is all about," said
Emert.
''Many of you stated that you
have leadership qualities. What
exactly are those qualities?"
"I feel that one of the main qual-
ities of a leader is also to be a
good follower. I have been in the
position of a Resident Assistant. I
not only serve as a Resident
Assistant to the residents but also
a follower to them. I support them
in everything that they do. I never
put myself in a position that they
feel like I am better than them or
that I am higher than them. We are
always on the same level. I also
think that a good leader is a good
listener. In order to be a voice for
the Student Senate, we have to be
able to listen to what the student's
concerns are. I really feel that I
have made myself accessible to a
lot of the students," said Collier.
Graham Hermanns/The Clarion Call
During the open forum held by Student Senate, April 23,
people had a chance to ask candidates questions and
gave candidates a chance to talk about their platforms.
"I believe that a good quality of
being a leader is having a vision.
If you don't have a vision, you
can't go anywhere, you can't plan
anything, you can't gather people
up to move towards that vision. I
feel if I am elected Senator, if you
come to me and tell me what you
want to see done then we can
move towards that goal," said
Porter.
"Being on the Dining and
Housing Concerns Committee,
I've dealt with a lot of people who
complain and have issues, and
being a good leader is basically
not telling them what they want to
hear but telling them in a way
they can understand it," said
Snyder.
"I believe that a leader must
possess motivational skills. They
have to be motivated themselves
and take that road that is not
forged," said Pica.
"It is my belief that a leader is
somebody that can be a good role
model to people under them, and
one of the key factors that proves
you're a leader is if you have fol-
lowers," said Dawson.
"One of the good qualities of a
leader is someone that under-
stands the importance of their
team. Everyone attends Clarion
University is part of our team. By
me being a leader, I will under-
stand the importance of everyone
working together," said Surin.
"What ideas do you have to
gain more minority involvement
on campus?"
"I feel there is a break-down in
communication with respect to
minorities and what they know.
Some of them are from other
places, other countries, so I feel
that we as students who are here
from America or as students pos-
sessing leadership skills, we
should be very informative to
them," said Phillips.
"I believe the weekend pro-
gramming that we applied here
this year is excellent. It is like an
ice breaker, you meet someone
else there to get those lines of
communication going," said Pica.
"I think one of the keys to more
minority involvement is being an
informant. I think there are a lot
of minority organizations that
Student Senate can compile with
in informing other minorities
since they do have a one-to-one
relationship with other minori-
ties," said Underwood.

Student Senate
IFC and Panhellenic Council to
receive new computers
by Robyn Hutter
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Student Senate Treasurer Tom
Clopp moved to allocate $1,942
from the Capital account to the
Interfraternity Council (IFC) and
the Panhellenic Council for two
new computers, pending the
approval of President of Clarion
Unicersity, Diane Reinhard, dur-
ing Monday night's meeting.
This motion was tabled last
week after confusion on whether
the IFC and the Panhellenic
Council were considered two
separate organizations.
During the discussion Monday
night, it was made clear that the
IFC and the Panhellenic Council
have two separate charters, but
they share one budget.
Therefore, Treasurer Clopp com-
bined the organizations' requests
for new computers under one
motion.
Both organizations asked for a
new computer with a printer.
Currently, one of the computers
is slow with outdated software,
and it was reported that the other
computer is not running.
Student Senate passed the
motion to allocate $1,942 from
the Capital account to the
Interfraternity Council and the
Panhellenic Council for two new
computers 16-1-0.
Treasurer Clopp also moved to
approve the 2002-2003 Budget
Allocations, pending the
approval of Reinhard. The
appropriations committee was
able to allocate budgets to cam-
pus organizations once the com-
mittee received their budgets,
rosters and weekend initiative
programs.
"A lot of organizations got cut
because of lack of justification
this year," said Treasurer Clopp.

get allocations for 2002-2003
involved Athletics and The
Clarion Call. The Athletics bud-
get increased $15,000 due to an
increase in insurance and an
increase in operating cost.
The Clarion Call's budget
decreased by $10,000 primarily
"to make them more a self-sup-
porting organization," said
Treasurer Clopp.
The motion to approve the
2002-2003 Budget Allocations
was tabled until the next Student
Senate meeting.
Treasurer Clopp of the
Appropriations Committee
announced the following
account balances: Capital,
$116,216; Large Item Capital,
$174,202; Supplemental,
$9,326; and Supplemental
Reserve, $25,520.
Mr. Lee Krull, business man-
ager, said a Summer Break Bus
will be leaving May 9, at 3:30
p.m., to locations such as
Harrisburg, King of Prussia and
Philadelphia. Tickets are $25.
During the Advisor's Report,
Mr. Harry Tripp awarded
President of Student Senate,
Benjamin Chervenak, with the
2002 Gemmell Student Leader
Award.
"I am very honored to have
received the award," said
President Chervenak.
Tripp also announced Vice
President Missy Gring and
Senator Jackie Collier as the
recipients of the James Moore
Scholarship.
Vice President Gring awarded
the Senator of the Week to the
Executive Board. The members
of the Executive Board include
Vice President Gring, Senator
Collier, Treasurer Clopp and
Senator Wendy Kengor.
The Panhellenic Council is
hosting an open forum concern-
ing the future of Greek Week.
The open forum will be held
Tuesday, April 30, from 7-9
p.m., in 250/252 Gemmell.
Student Senate elections will
be held Wednesday, April 24
through Friday, April 26.
The next Student Senate meet-
ing will be held Monday, April

Student requirement changes to 120 credits
Chancellor Judy Hample said
one reason for making the
change is to assist students in
earning their degrees in shorter
time periods. In addition, the
by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Assistant News
Editor
The Board of Governors of the
Pennsylvania State System of
Higher Education has adopted a
resolution, which requires stu-
dents to earn 120 credits to grad-
uate.
The current policy requires
most State System university
students to complete 128 credits b^th a general education curricu-
to earn a baccalaureate degree. \^^ ^nd a program of courses
related specifically to their
major. The general education
curriculum, which must consti-
tute at least 40 percent of the
total degree requirement,
includes various courses in
humanities, fine arts, communi-
cation, social and behavioral sci-
ences, mathematics, and the nat-
ural sciences.
Students must earn at least 25
Students in various majors must
earn even more credits because
of special degree requirements.
According to Clarion
University Academic Provost,
Dr. Joseph Grunenwald,
120-credit requirement will align percent of their credits in a spe-
the State System universities cific academic field. In addition,
with most other private and students must complete at least
state-related institutions in 40 percent of their total bac-
Pennsylvania. calaureate degree programs by
The policy will continue to earning credits for upper level,
require students to complete advanced course work. The rest
of the curriculum may consist of
courses related to a student's
major or advanced classes in the
liberal arts, sciences, or other
electives.
While the new policy calls for
students to earn 120 credits for
baccalaureate degrees, provi-
sions in the rule allow universi-
ties to require additional credits.
Under certain circumstances,
government or professional
organizations have required spe-
cial standards for graduation.
Universities must submit their
requests for exceptions to the
120-credit requirement to the
chancellor. The chancellor will
then make a recommendation to
the Board of Governors.
Ultimately, the Board must
approve any additional degree
requirements.
According to Grunenwald, the
new policy will be implemented
in the fall, 2003 semester.
Incoming freshmen and transfer
students for that term will be the
first class of students required to
complete 120 credits to earn a
baccalaureate degree.
Although the date of imple-
mentation has been set,
Grunenwald said, "We are still in
the process of determining the
actual implementation proce-
dures."
Clarion University is a member
of the State System of Higher
Education, which is comprised
of a total of 14 universities. The
State System schools offer more
than 250 degree and certification
programs in over 120 areas of
study. With more than 98,600
students, the State System is the
largest provider of higher educa-
tion in the Commonwealth.
Open ForumI Student Senate holds open forum for next year's candidates, from page 5.
"Are any of you aware of the reorga-
nization that is going on with Student
Affairs and if so, do you think it will
work?"
"I am aware of the reorganization that
is happening on campus. It was brought
to the Student Senate about a month and
a half ago. There were people who came
and brought it to the table and let us
know as far as what was going on. I actu-
ally think that the reorganization plan is a
good idea, and I think that because it will
be the first year there are a few things
that still need to be worked out as far as
specific organizations," said Cheatham.
"People put Minority Student Services
and placed it in the Professional
Building. They tried to coin minority as
something you put on as soon as you get
up in the morning. Being a minority is
identity. A lot of students were afraid
their identity would be lost. Not just
Minority Student Services, but a lot of
services, and programs. Student Senate
,when we went to them, represented us
and I want to be a part of that," said
Porter.
"A question for new Senators, What
are your views on the Weekend
Programming Initiative and have you
attended any of these events?"
"I haven't attended any of the programs
yet, but I do feel it is a great idea. I don't
really know much about it and maybe
that's part of the reason why I didn't get
involved. That is why I am doing this so
I can understand and see what is going on
and try to inform other people of that,"
said Schneider.
"I have been to a few of the Weekend
Initiative Programs. I think it is a won-
derful idea. I am excited about next year
because it is going to be in the student
handbooks. Students do need things to be
involved with the weekends," said
Knapek.
"The next question is for the Senators
running for reelection. What do you feel
is your best accomplishment this past
year?"
"The Issue of the Year was citizenship
this year, and we did a citizen drive. We
collected magazines, letters, books and
what-not to send over to the troops in
Afghanistan," said Emert.
"I was chair of Campus Safety, Health
and Environmental Concerns. The
biggest accomplishment is that they are
now going to put a crosswalk on Main

Schrecengost accepts internship to work with dolphins
by Ethan Pascoe
.9."/.'.H'?.9.*A'.?f?fT.^r?.®.'[
Marie Schrecengost, a junior
environmental biology major at
Clarion University, has accepted
an internship at the Wallops
Island Marine Center at Wallops
Island, Va. this summer.
The Marine Science Consortium
(MSC) Inc., in which Clarion
University has full membership,
operates Wallops Island Marine
Science Center. The MSC is a
nonprofit educational corporation
dedicated to promoting teaching
and research in marine sciences.
Schrecengost has been selected
as one of only a few students
nationwide to receive this paid
internship.
This summer. Schrecengost will
examine the Atlantic bottlenose
dolphin in its home environment.
"I am really excited," said
Schrecengost. "Everyone wants
to work with dolphins. They are
one of the most intelligent crea-
tures and we are still learning
about them. I have read about dol-
phins in books, but never worked
around them."
Before the internship can begin
this summer, Schrecengost must
prepare herself for work on the
Atlantic Ocean.
"I will go to Wallops Island in
May for boat handling instruc-
tion," Schrecengost said.
"Everyone in the project has to
learn to operate a 17-foot whaler
boat and take safety training.
The interns will spend much of
June through August at sea moni-
toring the migratory patterns of
bottlenose dolphins. In the fall,
Schrecengost will return to
Wallops Island on select week-
ends to continue with the pro-
gram.
Schrecengost is the daughter of
Barry and Mary Schrecengost of
Dayton and is a graduate of
Shannock Valley, now West
Shamokin High School.
"I come from a very close fam-
ily and I picked Clarion because it
was close to home," Schrecengost
said. "Clarion also has an excel-
lent biology program."
Schrecengost credits her father
for introducing her to nature.
"My dad taught me to fish and
hunt. I've always appreciated the
outdoors." she said.
She also credits Albert
Baraniak, her high school biology
teacher, for increasing her interest
in the subject. For several years,
Baraniak served as lead teacher
for the Biotechnology Initiative
for Systematic Change in the
Teaching of Science (BISCITS)
program at Clarion University. He
brought Schrecengost and other
students on field trips to Clarion
University.
Schrecengost has also partici-
pated in other University spon-
sored programs. Two years ago,
she spent the summer in England
as a part of the Northhampton
Summer Program, offered
through Clarion University's
International Program office.
There, at the College of
Northhampton, Great Britian, she
studied biodiversity and British
literature.
Last summer, Schrecengost
worked with the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental
Protection as a pollution biologist
intern. Most of her work was
fresh water based, and
Schrecengost became increasing-
ly interested in marine biology.
Schrecengost was interested in
the Wallops Island Program from
the start.
"The more I learned about it, the
greater I thought it would be,"
Schrecengost said. "Marine biol-
ogy is a good career path, but I
needed hands-on experience in
advance."
Schrecengost will complete her
undergraduate degree in May
2003. After graduation, her plans
include graduate school, where
she will further pursue studies in
marine biology.
Graham Hermanns/The Clarion
Call
Schrecengost will partlci-
pafe in an Internship working
with dolphins, this summer
"Getting marine experience this
summer is what I absolutely need
to do," she said. "I am consider-
ing pursuing marine mammology,
a really competitive field.
Eventually, I would like to work
in an aquarium, where I can make
more people aware of the ocean
and its many endangered
species."

Slumping economy and low participation hurts MHMR Marathon
by Matt May
Clarion Call
Assistant Lifestyles Editor
"Help us help others in
need," the staff of Clarion
University's radio station,
WCUC-FM, asked of the
Clarion community and the
University at the beginning of
their 23rd annual MHMR DJ
Marathon.
The marathon ran from April
8 through April 14. It is an
annual event the station does
to raise money and awareness
for the Mental Health-Mental
Retardation-Drug & Alcohol
Services of Clarion County.
Last year, the station raised
$1,200. This year they hoped
to raise $1,500. Yet when the
money was counted, the event
raised less than $500.
"I think the impact of 9-11
has touched everyone," said
Professor Bill Adams, advisor
to WCUC, when asked about
the marathon only raising one-
third of their goal. "In my
opinion, these are difficult
economic times. I believe the
will to give is still in the spirit
of the people. Unfortunately,
some people. ..cannot afford to
give right now."
Many students did claim
they simply did not have any
extra money to donate.
Nevertheless, the goal of
raising $1,500 was realistic,
especially when $1,200 was
raised the prior year. If each
of the 6,000 students would
have donated just one quarter,
the marathon could have
raised $1,500 even without the
assistance of the local commu-
nity.
During the MHMR DJ
Marathon, donation cans were
placed around the campus,
including at the radio station,
and at local participating busi-
nesses in the Clarion commu-
nity. Throughout the
marathon, DJs announced the
names of businesses where
donations could be made,
essentially thanking them by
providing free advertising.
But some of these local busi-
nesses forgot to put out the
donation cans and jars decorat-
ed and given to them by
WCUC. Even the businesses
that did put out the cans and
jars often placed them out of
view of their customers.
Despite several businesses
generating substantial dona-
tions, others struggled event to
get a dollar.
The donation can placed at
the Gemmell Information Desk
was irresponsibly left out on
It is not always
about the money you
raise, but the awareness
you create. If we have
given someone a breath
of hope for a day, then
we may have given them
the air to last a
lifetime. §9
-Bill Adams
several occasions when the
desk was closed. Employees
were supposed to lock the can
in the office when the desk
closed. It is still unknown
whether any money was stolen
from it on these occasions
when the can was left unat-
tended for hours.
Along with using donation
cans, WCUC also tried to raise
money with the help of
Clarion University's RAs and
fraternities/sororities. The
RAs were asked to collect
donations from their residents.
The RA who received the most
donations would win a prize
for his or her wing. Similarly,
the fraternity or sorority who
gave the highest donation
would also win a prize from
the radio station.
Though Clarion University
has more than 60 RAs, only
two, Frank Bubna from Givan
Hall and Beth McGuire from
Campbell Hall, participated in
raising money for the Mental
Health-Mental Retardation-
Drug & Alcohol Services of
Clarion County.
Only three sororities (Delta
Zeta, Zeta Tau Alpha and
Sigma Sigma Sigma) donated
to the marathon. No fraterni-
ties turned in donations to
WCUC for it.
"It's sad," Kristen Kneib,
Public Relations Director of
WCUC, said of the low partic-
ipation. Kneib and the public
relations staff at WCUC orga-
nized and oversaw the MHMR
DJ Marathon. They are
already devising new ideas for
the marathon next year.
"I would like to thank all
those that did participate and
donated to MHMR," Kneib
said, determined not to let low
participation and limited dona-
tions hinder a good cause. "I
can't wait to do it again next
year."
Professor Bill Adams, who
publicly donated money dur-
ing a game played on the radio
during the marathon, also
looked forward to doing the
MHMR DJ Marathon again
next year.
"It is not always about the
money you raise," Adams said,
"but the awareness you create.
If we have given someone a
breath of hope for a day, then
we may have given them the
air to last a lifetime. I am very
proud of everyone associated
with WCUC-FM for what they
have done."
Students and members of the
Clarion community do not
have to wait until next year if
they did not have a chance to
donate this year. Donations
can be taken or sent to the
Clarion County MH/MR/D&A
Center, 214 South Seventh
Ave., Clarion, PA 16214.

Theatre Review
Finally, The Bard has come back to Clarion!
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Before my actual review, I want
to ask the SCT department a very
serious question: HOW DO ALL
OF YOUR STUDENTS KNOW
ME TO SEE ME? I can under-
stand knowing the name of the guy
who does most of the drama
reviews on campus; if it were me,
I'd have made that my responsibil-
ity from minute one of my acting
career. But all of you SCTers out
there seem to know my face. And
I don't know many of you, regret-
tably. Maybe there's an 8x10
headshot of me in the SCT offices
or something. But thanks for the
nice and not so nice things you've
all been saying to me lately.
But on with the review.
A word of warning to those inter-
ested in going: the play is in fact
nearly 3 hours long. Now, before
any of you start bitching, though,
just remember: Titanic and Lord of
the Rings were even longer than
that and nobody seems to give
much of a damn about them run-
ning long. Keep that in mind pre-
complaining.
This week, William Shakespeare
makes a return to Clarion with
'The Winter's Tale," a story of
crazy jealous kings, shepherds,
abandoned children, and living
statues. Hey, it's a plausible story.
Directed by in-house
Shakespearean scholar, Rob
Bullington ("Measure for
Measure," "Tales of the Lost
Formicans") and starring a diverse
cast of new and old faces, "Winter"
plays at 8 PM through Saturday at
Marwick-Boyd Little Theatre.
The story is one of.. .it's a classic
example of a... okay, I lied. It's
really a story that more or less
defies any real comparison. There
are elements of traditional tragedy
(all of the show before the inter-
mission), lighter fare (Bret
Sloane's conniving peddler),
comedic drama (everything after
the intermission) and even just a
little fairy tale for flavoring (Ralph
Leary's shepherd and Ms.
Shropshire's dead-alive queen).
But surprisingly, the plot — and
Elizibethan language — are very
easy to follow. Easy even if you
skip reading the "Cliffs Notes" in
the program too.
In a nutshell, the king of Sicilia
(NOT Sicily) and the King of
Bohemia, boyhood friends,
become bitter rivals when Sicilia
decides that Bohemia's been mess-
ing around with his (pregnant)
wife. Convinced the child she car-
ries is not his (even though it is),
Sicilia has Wife jailed. The baby,
when it's bom, is brought before
the king who orders it burned, then
changes his mind to a simple,

more humane abandoning — in
Bohemia. The child is found by a
shepherd and suddenly, it's 16
years later. The prince of Bohemia
has fallen in love with the now-
grown baby (Sicilia's daughter).
The pair is — surprise — not
accepted by Bohemia and seeks
refuge in Sicilia. Let's leave it at
that.
I've mentioned the language.
Now, I'm not really as brushed up
on my Bard as I probably should
be, but even so, I was able to pick
up very easily on what was going
on. So you shouldn't be too lost by
the thee's and thine's and words
that nobody says. So fear not,
young knave, thy shan't sit alone in
melancholy.. ..sorry; I just mean
you'll understand it just fine too.
Everyone involved — from the
old pros like Brad Schake and Amy
Zubik to newer faces like Alicia
Shropshire and Nikaela Karcher —
did a fantastic job, mastering the
words and mannerisms of a long-
dead culture in record time. The
set — simplistic as needed — was
still amazing, with "inlaid" floors
and rotating fans to differentiate
Bohemia .and Sicilia that were
nothing short of beautiful and
amazing.
Congratulations to the cast and
crew for a job very well done.
Good luck with the respondents!

ihe Arthurs' tepid new album apes The Beatles
by Keith Gwillim
l^^larion Call Lifestyles Editor
ARTIST/ALBUM: The
Arthurs - Walking In the
Sunlight.
FOR FANS OF: Breezy, har-
monic Beatlesesque pop.
FOR FURTHER LISTEN-
ING: The Apples (In Stereo)'s
Tone Soul Evolution, Of
Montreal's The Gay Parade.
I've had several friends
throughout my life who were
major connoisseurs of pot.
I'm not talking about a joint or
two on the weekends, or even a
daily habit. I'm talking about
guys who are stoned 24/7. No
exaggeration. Which is okay
if it's working for you, I sup-
pose. ..whatever floats your
boat, right?
But still, I was curious. Isn't
the whole point of drugs to
provide an altered state of con-
sciousness? Do them enough,
and "altered" becomes the
"norm." I've asked them to
clarify this habit for me, but
I've never received a concrete
answer.
I doubt The Arthurs could
give me a reason for their
overindulgence, either. Not
because they're too high to do
so (though I imagine they're
no strangers to that), but rather
because they really don't have
an original thought in their
collective heads.
Movie Review
So what is this vice The
Arthurs are irrevocably
trapped in? Glad you asked -
it's the Beatles, and various
other sunny British Invasion
bands (I'm referring more to
bands in the vein of Gerry and
the Pacemakers, not the Who -
The Arthurs don't have the
balls to rock out like that). If
you've ever heard a pre-
Revolver Beatles song, then
you've heard the Arthurs' new
album. Walking In the
Sunlight, as well. ..more or
less.
All the hallmarks are there;
breezy, jangling guitars,
impeccable vocal harmonies,
jaunty rhythms and whimsical
lyrics. It's all executed profes-
sionally enough, but doesn't
equate to a refreshing listening
experience. The Monkees and
Rutles already made a living
by ripping off the Beatles -
why be so redundant now?
Fellow 60s pop
revivalists/revisionists such as
The Apples (In Stereo), Olivia
Tremor Control and Elf Power
(basically anyone associated
with the Elephant 6 recording
collective) often take cues
from the Fab Four, among oth-
ers, but are more than able to
bring something new to the
table. Robert Schneider of the
Apples isn't afraid to throw a
little bit of fuzzy distortion
into his stupidly happy sing-
alongs; OTC provide a hazy
look at the Beatles and Beach
Boys through a schizo-
phrenic's ear. Even a group
like Of Montreal, who have
just about as many original
ideas as the Arthurs, are so
insanely enthusiastic about
their little psych-pop Skittles,
it's hard to fault them.
But the Arthurs can't even
hide under that excuse. Sure,
parts of the album are infused
with vigor, such as the doe-
eyed opener, "Sunlight," but
these moments are few and far
between. You get the feeling
the Arthurs' sound is purely
arbitrary. I can imagine these
guys back in art school, spin-
ning a giant Music Genre
wheel of fortune.
"Okay, let's see what we end
up with..."
Phhhhwwiiiishshhhhhhh!.
"Aww, geez, Greg - I don't
wanna be in an emo band!"
"Alright, cool your horses;
we'll spin again."
Phhhhhwiiisshhhhh!
"Hmmmm.. .Beatlesesque indie
pop. Yeah, I remember my
pops playin' that "Yellow
Submarine" song. We could
do that!"
No, you can't. Walking In
the Sunlight actually starts off
on a semi-promising note, as a
children's chorus greets you in
the effervescent opener,
"Sunlight." It's hard to swal-
low such grade school stabs at
poetry such as "Midnight
makes me feel lazy/And all I
want to do is go out walk-
ing/Leaves look that much
greener/And the clouds float
that much nearer/Sunlit eyes
reflect that much clearer..."
Yeah, save it for the church
group, buddy. Still, coated in
the irresistible candy shell that
it is, it makes for modest and
naive fun.
Unfortunately, it's all down-
hill from there, really. "I
Can't Love You Anymore"
continues the lyrical woes, as
we are privy to what seems to
be the disintegrating relation-
ship of two young lovers. Gee,
I sure hope they make it 'till
junior prom. The Dawson's
Creek drama of this album
wears quite thin very quickly.
Each track just bleeds into
the next, sounding perfectly
inoffensive to the point of
banality while playing, and
totally forgettable afterwards.
If you can pick up differences
between the mind-rotting cot-
ton candy of "Rollerskates &
Mini-Skirts" and the autobio-
graphical "Northern Song,"
then be sure to let me know.
"Northern Song" actually
achieves an unintentional level
of amusement, as it details
their prowess as a band,
proven to bowl you over "rain
or shine, in every single time
zone." Hmmm...I wonder if
the Seventh Circle of Hell is
booking gigs now.
It all culminates in the sock-
hop limbo of "Come To Me,"
which has more syrup than a
Vermont maple tree in
December. "Hours, Eyes
Closed" decides to up the ante,
throwing in a dusk-colored
bass line (get it - the album
starts off sunny, and ends with
sunset - it's a concept album!!)
and supposedly haunting
vocals.
Just about the only thing the
Arthurs do have going for
them is brevity. Most of the
songs clock in at the three-
minute mark, or shorter, and
the albums itself is not much
more than a half-hour. But
how long that can seem...
It's too bad this disc is so
derivative of both the Arthurs'
influences and peers, because
it seems like they really tried.
Any band with enough chutz-
pah to record a love song to
themselves such as "Northern
Song" must at least have a lit-
tle bit of confidence in them-
selves. Hey, look on the bright
side, guys - maybe there's a
local Beatles cover band look-
ing for some backup singers. 1

Sniffing out new weapon isn't a sweet task
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
TODAY'S PARENTING TOPIC IS:
Planning a birthday party for your 2-
year-old child.
The first thing you must decide,
when planning a birthday party for a
2-year-oId, is: Should you invite the
2-year-old? Because a child that age
can put a real damper on a party. And
probably your child doesn't really
understand that he or she is turning 2.
One of the best things about small
children is that they have no clue how
time works. My 2-year-old daughter
believes that everything that has ever
happened, including her birth and the
formation of the solar system,
occurred "yesterday."
I have a friend named Helene who
made excellent use of this phenome-
non when her children were small. If
they wanted to do something that, for
whatever reason, they couldn't do,
Helene, rather than argue, would tell
them they could do it on "Tuesday." If
her kids wanted to go swimming, and
it was January, Helene would say:
"We'll go- swimming on Tuesday!"
And they were satisfied, because they
had a definite answer, even though it
actually had no meaning. (Airport
flight-information monitors are based
on the same principle.)
Unfortunately, as people grow older,
they come to understand the concept
of time, unless they are my wife. (Just
kidding!) (Not really!) But most 2-
year-olds have no idea what "2 years
old" means, and would not notice if
you held their birthday party after
they went to bed.
Another low-stress option is to wait
until your child is invited to some
OTHER 2-year-old's birthday party,
and when you get there, tell your child
that the party is actually for him or
her. ("Look, Jason! Your name is writ-
ten right here on the cake! L-I-S-AI")
Of course the foregoing suggestions
are intended in a purely humorous
vein. (Not really!) Unless you are a
Bad Parent, you must throw a birthday
party for your 2-year-old, and you
must invite other 2-year-olds, and
THEY MUST HAVE FUN, even if
they don't want to. This is why so
many birthday parties feature rental
clowns, even though few things are
more terrifying to small children than
a clown at close range. Stephen King
based an entire novel on this concept.
Another fun thing that 2-year-olds
do not enjoy is organized activities.
Most 2-year-olds are happiest when
they are free to wander around in a
non-organized way. So it can be quite
a chore to herd a group of them
together for organized birthday fun.
But you must do this, or the terrorists
will have won.
When our daughter turned 2, we had
a big party at our house. That was over
a month ago, and we're still finding
cake frosting in unexpected places.
("So THAT'S why the VCR doesn't
work!") Our house was filled with 2-
year-olds, running, falling, yelling,
crying, pooping, etc., each with at
least one adult in pursuit, trying to
organize the child. I honestly didn't
know who most of these children
were, or how they found out about the
party. Maybe the Internet. All I know
is, the organized activity we had for
them was: art. Yes! We invited small
children to our house and DELIBER-
ATELY GAVE THEM PAINT.
I believe the reason we did this is
that our brains had been turned into
cole slaw by the bouncy castle. A
bouncy castle is a big rubber inflat-
able thing that you can rent for birth-
day parties, weddings, congressional
hearings, etc. The idea is that children
can climb inside and bounce around
and have a lot of fun, unless they find
the bouncy castle to be even more ter-
rifying than the rental clown.
My daughter LOVED the bouncy
castle. That was the good news. The
bad news was, the rental company set
it up at 8 a.m., six hours before the
party started. Once my daughter real-
ized there was a bouncy castle in her
yard, she had to be inside it, bouncing,
at all times, and she felt very strongly
that there had to be a parent in there
bouncing with her. So by the time the
guests started arriving, my wife and I
had spent about three hours apiece
bouncing our IQs down into the low
teens, which is why we thought it
would be fun to give art supplies to 2-
year-olds. I'm surprised we didn't let
them drive the car.
Of course we also gave them cake,
because this is mandatory at birthday
parties, even though historically there
is no known case of any 2-year-old
ever actually eating so much as a sin-
gle molecule of birthday cake. In fact,
as far as I can tell, 2-year-olds never
eat anything. I think they nourish
themselves via some kind of photo-
synthesis-like process that involves
the direct absorption of Play-Doh.
In conclusion, holding a birthday
party for 2-year-olds is both fun and
easy. All you have to do is follow a
few simple steps! I will cover these on
Tuesday.

A. The Rock never once utterd a sentence longer
than four words, let alone a compound sentence or
thought. Instead, he put together brain-busters like:
"Now I will kill you," and "Don't touch my bow."
B. The Scorpion King is obviously intended to be
an epic battle between the tyrannical and the
oppressed. Those type of movies, such as Ben-Hur
and Spartacus take well over two hours to develop
sufficient storylines. Comedies typically last an hour
and a half. The Scorpion King runs 1 hour 29 min-
utes. Coincidence?
C. The rock looks like a jabrony when he rides his
camel.
D. Scenes were obviously, directly, and complete-
ly stolen from many other movies such as Indiana
Jones & the Temple of Doom, The Green Mile, and
even The Goonies.
E. The sorcessess, played by the gorgeous Kelly
Hu, never really gets naked. All she does is gallivant
around in her skivvies, making men wish for an R
rating.
F. There were better special effects in the preview
for the new Star Wars movie.
G. Most of The Rock's speaking comes from his
eyes. But his fake glares of intensity look more like
an oldperson tyrying to figure out if they just crapped
their pants.
H. How do Memnon's metal sword s catch fire?
I. The cornice relief, provided by annoying Grant
Heslov, is actually worse than Jar Jar Binks.
J. And basically the entire movie is like one long
wrestling match without the cool moves and over-
dramatic commentary that at least make it entertain-
ing accidentally.
It's pathetic when you leave a movie not thinking
about the plot, but about how unusually comfortable
Destinta's seating is for a movie theater. Trust me,
there are plent of other good movies out right now
for you to spend your time and money on. I would,
under no circumstances, advise you to see the
garbage that is The Scorpion King. And that's the
bottom line because Brad Hemmings said so. (Hey, I
had to throw in at least one wrestling reference.)

Today's Birthday (April 25). You could do quite well in business
this year. Find a need and fill it. It's something for which you have a
natural talent. This is going to be a lot of work, but nothing you
can't handle.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easi-
est day, the most challenging.
Aries (IViarch 21 -April 19) - Today is a 7 - Your brain is bub-
bling over with questions, ideas and creativity. Luckily, you have
somebody to talk to about it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 7 - Your financial
concerns should be alleviated soon. The work you've been doing
will increase in value. If you stick to your budget, you'll achieve
abundance.
Gemini (May 21 -June 21) - Today is a 7 - You're getting
stronger in more ways than one. Venus, the planet symbolizing
love, is going into your sign. Mars, for assertion, is already there.
So is Saturn, for experience.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 7 - Want to brighten
up your home at a price you can afford? Martha Stewart has noth-
ing on you! Use your imagination and show her how it should be
done.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 7 - Somebody who was
rather intimidating is becoming more of a friend. Your charms are
working! That, and the effort you've made to understand.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7 - Past efforts finally
start paying off, and not a moment too soon. Money that's due
could finally arrive, or perhaps you'll get that raise or promotion.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is an 8 - All that effort and
hassle doesn't get you nearly as far as one lucky break can. Look
for such a break. Even a jealous person's critical comment won't
mess up your chances. Later is better.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is a 7 - Sometimes there
can be a link between love and money. For example, not having
enough of the latter can make the former more difficult. But plan-
ning for your future together is very romantic. Do that now.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 7 - Did you know
that yours is the sign of wisdom? But you still have to go through
the steps. You'll be amazed at how much you can learn now. Keep
an open heart.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is a 7 - Time to turn in
the paperwork. Let people know what you've been doing. Send out
bills for your services. You don't usually like this part of the job, but
it could be almost fun.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is an 8 - See? Isn't it
getting better? Funny thing is, it doesn't much matter if you won or
lost. Either is cause for celebration.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 6 - A loved one is
having difficulty now, and you can help. This person needs to take
a more roundabout route to whatever is being sought. An older per-
son you know can help. Put in a good word. Be the link.

Clarion ties LHU, 17-17: Three to try fi
by Ashley Good
Clarion Call Sports Writer
On Saturday April 20, the Clarion
womens rugby team hosted Lock Haven
University for more intramural play.
Lock Haven is one of the stronger clubs
out of the Eastern Penn Rugby Union
and Clarion hoped for a competitive
match. Lock Haven qualified for the
Final Four last year in the Division II
Womens Collegiate Rugby
Championships.
Clarion jumped out to an early 7-0 lead
when fly-half Audra Graeser picked off a
pass from the Lock Haven scrum-half
and ran the 20 meters in for the try.
Graeser completed the conversion kick.
Minutes later. Lock Haven's outside
center would break through the Clarion
defense to score bringing the match even
7-7. The first half ended with a 7-7
score. Both side were playing a very
physical match with Clarion moving the
ball effectively down field.
Unfortunately, several penalties halted
the Clarion drives.
The second half began with Lock
Haven coming out strong and putting the
first points of the half on the board going
up 12-7. Clarion responded with Prop
Billie McElhaney breaking several tack-
les and spinning off the Lock Haven
defenders, to score an incredible try mid-
way through the second half Graeser
missed the conversion kick keeping the
score even at 12-12.
Nearing the 70th minute of play, fly-half
Graeser was able to split the Lock Haven
defense to break into the open field.
Graeser was being dragged to the ground
by the opposition but was able to reach
out to score the try, giving Clarion a 17-
12 lead.
Clarion was not able to hold the lead
with only minutes left in the game,
allowing Lock Haven to turn the corner
after a defensive break down to tie the
score at 17-17. The match ended as a tie.
This match was probably one of the
toughest matches this year for the
Clarion women. Lock Haven was a
much bigger and faster team, but Clarion
possessed a higher level of skill. The
Clarion women ran the ball and support-
ed well, but were a bit soft on defense.
The women gave up some points that
they could have prevented had the
defense been stronger.
There were also several ball handling
mistakes that led to turnovers.
"It was a match that we should have
won if we had played a little smarter and
a little more physical. I believe it was a
good indication of the level of play we
are at, here at Clarion, and that we can be
very competitive against teams that have
had national success," said coach Brian
Frank.
The b-side match saw Clarion win 7-0
with scrum half Carissa Paris scoring the
only try of the match and Lisa Koerbel
hitting the conversion.
Last weekend. Clarion's b-side entered
the California University Rugby
Tournament. Since a majority of

Sensei Paposi-Jobb, Andor
The US National Judo
Competition held at Cleveland's
Public Hall attracted more than
800 players from throughout the
US. This annual tournament pits
Judoka within their various
divisions for National
Championships. The Seniors
Division is open to those over
the ages of 16 and The Masters
Division is open to those over
the ages of thirty and pits the
competitors against one another
in age divisions of five year
increments within eight weight
divisions for both men and
women.
Paposi-Jobb, Andor of
Emlenton, Pennsylvania has
once again won a Championship
at this event. Competing in the
Masters Division in the 65-70
age division at 73 kg and under,
P-Jobb gained the Gold. He
competed against Ralph Lisle of
California who won Silver and
Ralph Bajema of Washington
State who won Bronze.
P-Jobb who has competed in
seven US Judo Nationals has
consistently been a winner scor-
ing five golds and two silvers
over the past several decades.
However, until recently his
focus had been in fostering
competition for the students in
his Dojo. Now that he has
retired from full time teaching
at Clarion University, Sensei
(martial arts teacher) P-Jobb is
able to give his attention to his
own fighting career and plans to
fight in a variety of competi-
tions throughout the world.
P-Jobb's first Sensei was Dr.
Saari Jozsef of the University of
Budapest. His Masters in the
United States are Grand Masters
Dr. Eirhi Koiwai and E.
Ishikawa both of the
Philadelphia area. Locally his
Master, since 1965, has been
Grand Master (9th Degree
Blackbelt - Kudan) Kyu Ha Kim
who teaches Martial Arts at the
University of Pittsburgh.
Sensei P-Jobb also plans to
spend more time refereeing and
will be contemplating promo-
tion from sixth degree black belt
- Rokudan - to seventh degree
black belt - Shichidan - in both
Judo and Jujutsu in the near
future.
Having taken Gold at the
World MasterAthlete
Competition in Phoenix this
past July, P-Jobb will be defend-
ing this championship in
Londonderry, Ireland in June.
Other future competitions for
this year include The AMCAN
Championship in May 2002 in
Buffalo and the US Open in Las
Vegas in October 2002.
This year marks P-Jobb's fifti-
eth year in Judo. He commenced
study in April of 1952 in
Budapest, Magyarorszag
(Hungary) and before his move
to the US in 1956 was
Hungarian National Champion.
He founded the Hun Judo Dojo
at Clarion University of
Pennsylvania in 1963 and will
celebrate the Dojo's Fortieth
Anniversary in 2003!
Sensei P-Jobb continues to
teach at his Dojo at Clarion
University. Classes are held on
Tuesday and Thursday nights
from 7-9 in the Tippins Gym.
For those planning for Fall
Semester the classes are spon-
sored by CUP's Continuing
Education Department. The cost
is $99 per semester. Special dis-
counts are available for fami-
lies. Call Chris Stiglitz at 814-
393-2227 (M-F before 4PM) or
drop by the Tippin Gym at class
time to enroll or observe.
In the next two weeks, the
Dojo's students will be testing
for their promotions. There will
be students qualifying for a pro-
motion to Green Belt - Yonkyu -
(fourth degree student belt) or
for the more advanced Brown
Belts - Sankyu - (third degree
student belt) or Second Degree
Brown Belt (Nikyu) or First
Degree Brown Belt - Ikyu.
Judo is an excellent sport for
all ages. Both men and women
benefit greatly from the study of
this ancient martial art that
teaches self-defense but also
endows the student with a vari-
ety of skills that improve the
quality of their life.

Golden Eagle men win 2002 PSAC Championships
by Bethany Bankovich
Clarion Call Sports Editor
The Golden Eagle golf team
recently captured the 2002
PSAC Championship Title at the
Hawk Valley Golf course on
April 20-21. Clarion won the
championship with a low total
team score of 605 points.
After taking a narrow second
place finish in last year's tourna-
ment, the men were out for the
victory this past weekend. This
spring, the team played each
tournament to the best of their
ability and had a tremendous
overall season.
Leading the way for the
Golden Eagles was freshman.
Matt Guyton. He shot a 75 dur-
ing round one and a 73 in round
two for a total of 148. He cap-
tured the second lowest score of
the championship and earned a
silver in the All-PSAC top ten
finishers.
Ryan Peffer also finished well
for the team, shooting a 73 in
round one, and a 77 during round
two. His combined score of 150
allowed for a second place team
standing and a third place overall
in the All-PSAC top ten.
Anthony Tacconelli was third
in line for the Golden Eagles
with a 73 in round one and an 80
in round two. His combined
score of 153 set him in seventh
in the All-PSAC top ten.
Lou Jesiolkiewic shot a pair of
77's during round one and two,
and his total of 154 placed him
tenth overall. Matt Biddington
was the fifth player to contribute
to the team's overall score.
Biddington shot a 79 during
round one and an 80 during
round two for a total of 160. In
all, the team shot a score of 298
during round one and a 307 for
round two.
The team had a powerhouse
championship meet, but the root
of their success began far back in
the beginning of the season.
During the Northwood
Invitational on March 4-5, at the
West Palm Beach Country Club,
Clarion took seventh of 13 teams
with a score of 619. Matt Guyton
led the way with 74-77=151, Lou
Jesiolkiewic 75-77=152,
Anthony Tacconelli 82-76=158,
Paul Garris 81-81=162, and Matt
Biddington added 85-77=162.
This was only the starting point
for the Golden Eagles as they
continued to improve.
During the Westminster
Invitational on April 1, at the
New Castle Country Club,
Clarion took third of 12 teams
with 325 points. Matt Guyton
and Lou Jesiolkiewic led with
79, Anthony Tacconelli 82, Paul
Garris 85, and Ryan Peffer added
92.
With two good tournaments
under their belts, the men went
to take 11th of 31 teams at the

75, 80 = 232, and Paul Garris

The team was then set to com-
pete against other PSAC teams
and display their PSAC champ
potential at the Slippery Rock
Invitational on April 9, 2002.
Clarion took second out of eight
teams with a total team score of
310. Anthony Tacconelli led the
way with 76, Matt Guyton 77,
Lou Jesiolkiewic 77, Matt
Biddington 80, and Ryan Peffer
closed out with 82.
With this exceptional perfor-
mance the men went on to take
another second place finish out
of 13 teams at the Indiana
Invitational on April 10, with a
score of 296. Anthony
Tacconelli led the Eagles with
73, Matt Guyton 73, Lou
Jesiolkiewic 74, Matt
Biddington 76, and Ryan Peffer
contributed with 82.
Overall, the Golden Eagles had
a great year, and with several
young members on top, the team
should have plenty of success
next fall.
In addition to this remarkable
performance, the golf coaches of
the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference have selected fresh-
man Matt Guyton of Clarion
University as their sport's
Rookie and Athlete of the Year.
The Golden Eagles' coach, Al
Lefevre, was also selected by his
peers as the PSAC Coach of the
Year.
Guyton, a native of Dubois,
played extremely well during his
initial campaign. He posted a
74.6 stroke average over the
2001-02 season. During the
spring season, he shot a low
round of 73 on three occasions,
including the second day of the
PSAC Championship which tied
for the best score of the day. His
overall 148 tally was a team best
and placed him second overall
among the 30 competitors. His
efforts helped lead Clarion to its
first PSAC title since 1982.
Lefevre, in his third season at
Clarion, guided the Golden
Eagles to the conference title a
year after his team finished as
ledgue runners-up. During the
spring. Clarion finished second
at the Indiana (Pa.) and Slippery
Rock Invitationals, and placed
third at the Westminster
Invitational. The Golden Eagles
also took third place at the
Allegheny and Robert Morris
Invit'ationals during the fall.
Under his direction this season,
four of his five participants
earned all-conference honors.
The accolades for Guyton and
Lefevre are Clarion's first-ever
PSAC postseason awards. The
conference postseason awards
began for all sports in 1988-89.
The following student-athletes
join Guyton on the All-PSAC
team based on finishing in the
top 10 (and ties) at the PSAC
tournament: Anthony Tacconelli,
Louis Jesiolkewic and Ryan
Peffer of Clarion; Brian Fajt and
Josh Cleck of lUP, Chris
Killiany and Scott Micklewright
of Millersville; Tom Byrne and
Nick Parise of West Chester; and
Patrick Zeni of Slippery Rock.

An MTV speaker for the MTV generation
by Jen DeFazio
Clarion Call Staff Writer
MTV Senior Vice President of Production
will address the graduating class of 2002 on
May 1 1 at Spring Commencement held in
Tippin Gym.
Kusbit, a 1983 Clarion University gradu-
ate, has during his five years with MTV,
directed more than 75 percent of the net-
work's programming.
"They wanted me to create and revise their
programming," said Kusbit. "MTV had
mostly been radio people playing on televi-
sion, and they felt it was time to reinvent all
of their franchise programs like "Spring
Break" and concert shows like
"Unplugged." They wanted someone with
more of a television background to liven up
their programming. I'm the idea guy."
With these ideas, Kusbit helped to create
shows such as 'Total Request Live" (TRL),
"Spring Break", and "Times Square New
Years Eve". He has increased MTV's rat-
ings and is responsible for hiring Carson
Daly. "Everything starts with an idea.. .fire,
the wheel. Democracy, Civil Rights.. .all the
way up to "The Osbournes." You find a
great idea... and you push it and push it until
it becomes a reality."
However, for Kusbit, the road to MTV
was paved by many other jobs.
Kusbit came to Clarion from Latrobe, and
switched majors to Communication when
he found some friends filming a stack of
beer cans in their room. "I got all the basics
I needed at Clarion University and now I
use them daily. My Communication Law
course is invaluable to what I do."
After graduation, Kusbit spent a year and

pated in projects such as Project Bundle

Kusbit then moved to New York City. It
was here that he produced, and eventually
executive produced. "Good Day New
York," a FOX-TV program. The show
became number one in the mornings rating
competition.
After that, Kusbit produced "Live at
Five," a local entertainment show on NBC.
Eventually, Kusbit left NBC to be inde-
pendent. He produced the pilot for the syn-
dicated "Gordon Elliot Show." It was then
Maury Povich asked Kusbit to head his
production company, MoPo Productions.
Kusbit served as president of MoPo
Productions for three years, and in 1996 he
was approached by MTV.
For the commencement speech
will address Kusbit's theory on
TV and life, "One Louder." Based
on the film "Spinal Tap", 'One
Louder' is the idea that a guitarist
has an amp that goes to 1 1 instead
of 10.
With this theory, Kusbit believes
that people have to be 'One
Louder' in their creativity, which
means pushing everything to be a
little bit better than everybody else
in the business. "And the way to
push it. ..to make your idea and
your passion rise above everybody
else's. ..is to go 'One Louder.'
Kusbit returned to his alma
mater this past October to partici-
pate in the annual College Media
Day. He spoke to journalism stu-
dents about the importance of
striving to attain your goals and
never setting a limit for yourself
Kusbit will speak at both com-
mencement ceremonies. The 10

College of Education and Human
Services and the School of
Nursing. The College of Arts and

"They wanted me to create and revise their
programming." said Kusbit. "MTV had
mostly been radio people playing on televi-
sion, and they felt it was time to reinvent all
of their franchise programs like "Spring
Break" and concert shows like
"Unplugged." They wanted someone with
more of a televisitin background to liven up
their programming. I'm the idea guy."
With these ideas. Kusbit helped to create
shows such as "Total Request Live" (TRL).
"Spring Break", and "Times Square New
Years Eve". He has increased MTV's rat-
ings and is responsible for hiring Carson
Daly. "Everything starts with an idea. ..fire.
the wheel. Democracy. Civil Rights. ..all the
way up to "The Osbournes." You find a
great idea. ..and you push it and push it until
it becomes a icalitv "
Mowever, for Kusbit, the road \o MTV

switched majors to Communication when
he found some friends filming a stack of

University Book Store
As the semester comes to an end,
we are not looking foward to deal-
ing with the book store! At the
start of the semester, the majority
of the students go to the bookstore
and spend a small fortune to buy
books for the start of the semester.
Now, at the end of the semester,
we get very little back, or nothing
at all.
We do not understand this
process. The Clarion University
bookstore is a student-owned
business. The money we spend
infers, and the money we spend on
books pays to keep the bookstore
open.
We don't understand why we
can't get half, or at least a forth of
what we paid in the return. That
isn't a lot to ask. If we pay a hun-
dred dollars for one book, we
would like to get back at least
forty dollars. We just want this
whole process to be a fair deal.
Not a one-sided rodgering.
That isn't the only thing that we
see wrong with the good old
Clarion bookstore. The customer
service that is provided is not very
good. When taking your purchas-
es up to the counter, it would be
nice to see someone with a semi
pleasant look on his/her face,
instead of having a look like they
want to harm you.
Another thing we really don't
like is the fact that the bookstore
does not have hours that appeal to
most of the college students on
campus, especially during finals
week and book buy back. They
are only open until four during
this week, and some of us have to
study and take a final during this
time.
It would be nice if the hours
would be extended during these
two weeks so that we could sell
our books back. Even though we
won't be getting much money
back for them, it would be nice to
have the opportunity given to us.
We understand that the book-
store is a business and they need
to make money, but they don't
need to make all of their money
off of our books. We are college
students, so therefore it is tough
for us to get the money. Students
are charging a mad amount of
money on their credit cards so
they can purchase their books.
When we leave college we are
so in debt, it isn't funny, by giving
us more money back for our
books, or at least buying back all
of the books would help.
This isn't much to ask. We are
just asking for a fair exchange and
a little help. It would make the
students happier and the employ-
ees happier because they wouldn't
have to hear us complain.

"... the Student Senate fiinds generously
student organizations that its
members deem "important"'
Dear Editor,
In a few days, the second issue
of "Tobeco," the Clarion
University literary journal, will
make its appearance on our cam-
pus.
This journal represents the cul-
mination of the year-long efforts
of a very dedicated team of stu-
dents. They put this together by
themselves — from soliciting the
submission of poems, short sto-
ries, non-fiction pieces, original
artwork and photographs, to
reviewing works submitted, to
conceptualizing and realizing the
layout of the journal.
This last daunting task having
been done entirely by Scott Kane,
a Junior art major, with some help
and guidance from Publications
Director Paul Hambke and Mr.
Jim Rose, Art Department
Faculty, to finally doing the
inevitable last minute proofread-
ing before seeing it go to print.
Make sure to pick up your copy
of "Tobeco," which will be either
available at no cost, or at the very
minimal cost of $1.00 to students.
I think that you will be impressed
by the artistic quality of the jour-
nal, and by its exciting new look.
I will now turn to my rant so, fas-
ten your seatbelts — Donate is
going at it once again!
This year, the staff of "Tobeco"
submitted a budget proposal of
$2,800 for the academic year
2002-2003 to the Student Senate,
and received an allocation of
$1,000 — $100 less than the
amount it had received last year.
Tobeco's Editor-in- Chief, Mary-
Lou Manhart, asked a Senator,
who is on the Appropriations
Committee, why "Tobeco" had
been granted such a small amount
of money, which barely covers the
cost of Its production.
A Senator responded that, even
though they didn't recall most of
the discussion concerning the
"Tobeco" budget, she remembers
that the opinion had been
expressed, at the Appropriations
Committee meeting, that Clarion
students didn't want a literary
journal. Now, let me ask, from
where does that opinion come?
From a few members of Student
Senate who, I am pretty certain,
are barely representative of the
majority of the Clarion University
Student body and do not represent
at all those Clarion students who
want to have a literary journal (or
other artistic activities, for that
matter).
Year after year, the Student
Senate generously funds student
organizations that its members
deem "important," while under
funding others that they see as
insignificant. However, when it's
time to bug the little ones with
tons of Weekend Initiative red
tape and threaten them with bud-
get freezes, the Student Senate
knows where to find them !
I should add that, when I orga-
nized a foreign film festival
(which combined the efforts of the
French, Spanish, and German
Clubs) this semester, as part of the
Weekend Initiative, the two
Student Senators who I teach this
semester were conspicuous by
their absence... Oh, I forgot... No
one on the Clarion Campus wants
foreign language films (subtitles
are too hard to read!).
The Senator also told Mary-Lou
Manhart that the Open-Mic events
that "Tobeco" organizes regularly
at Michelle's Cafe were poorly
advertised. This is quite an amaz-
ing statement, since Tobeco staff
members post flyers announcing
those events all over campus typi-
cally about a week before the
Open-Mic night.
Dr. Phil Terman, the "Tobeco"
advisrr, also never fails to
announce those events on the All-
List at least once, most often
twice. As they say in the country
I'm from "II n'est pire sourd que
celui qui ne veut entendre"
("There are none so deaf as those
who will not hear.")
By the way, Open-Mic nights
have been pretty successful, prov-
ing once more that there is an
audience for this type of intellec-
tual and artistic activity on the
Clarion campus.
When will it be that decisions
that affect the quality of life of the
students on this campus are no
longer made by a small clique of
people who have a rather "white
bread" notion of what their peers
want, and lack perspective onto
what other, perhaps more "artsy"
students would like to see happen-
ing on campus?
If you pick up an issue of
"Tobeco" and like it, and would
like to see more in the years to
come, e-mail your Student
Senators, and let them know
where you want your money to
go!

Is it any wonder
why advising has
become a large por-
tion of her job. 99
-Amy a. Thompson
Wtfeofc Tl(^ oeef^eC to Retentm
This past year, I had the privi-
lege to take part in the University
Roundtable Experience. The pur-
pose of the Roundtable
Experience was to discuss reten-
tion and the way the university
may better service incoming
freshmen.
The main theme that kept sur-
facing was the need for better
advisementt. No kidding. As a
graduating senior, I know how
important good advisement is.
So what makes an adviser a
good one? There are two words
that exemplify what it means to
be a good adviser, Mary Wilson.
Mary Wilson is a retiring
Communication professor. She
has about 40 advisees and that
doesn't even include students
who are graduating and those stu-
dents who have inactive status.
Mrs. Wilson is one of those peo-
ple who gets in touch with her
advisees to make sure they touch
base with her. She keeps updated
folders on each of her advisees
and does her best to answer all of
their questions. A friend of mine
put it best when she said.
"Mary's a wealth of knowledge."
Mrs. Wilson is known for teach-
ing public relations classes, but
stays abreast of every communi-
cation field so she can aid stu-
dents.
Mrs. Wilson, not only knows
her advisees academically, but on
a personal level as well. Mrs.
Wilson's relationships aren't lim-
ited to only her advisees, but to
the majority of the
Communication Department.
She knows practically everyone
in the department. Maybe that's
why people who aren't even her
advisees flock to her for advise-
ment. How could you be intimi-
dated by a warm smile that wel-
comes you into her office, looks
you in the eye and finds solution
after solution?
Is it any wonder why advising
has become a large portion of her
job?
What you may not know about
Mrs. Wilson is that she suffered
from health problems a few years
ago. Never has this slowed her

/ wondered: Does
Clarion University
recycle? 99
-Julie Evanoski
f>ee Pf^ees^ (Jam ui^-anomi
'^ cap Re^omiin^'.kfkat to /Chow "
As I was walking back from
class, I noticed a student put his
pop can in the garbage outside of
Campbell Hall. I remarked to my
friends that they should put it in
the recycling containers, just five
feet from the door. However, one
of my friends answered: "Well,
you know Clarion doesn't recycle
anyway."
I was shocked. I wondered:
Does Clarion University recycle?
Thus began my curiosity with
this issue.
In class the next day, I asked the
students what they knew about
the recycling on campus. What I
heard was a unanimous opinion
that they assumed that it does not
occur; and in fact, several stu-
dents said they saw some custodi-
ans combining the regular
garbage with the outgoing recy-
cled materials.
I asked my professor what he
thought and he agreed that he had
no idea where the recycling goes,
who picks it up, or other basic
facts. This lack of understanding
and knowledge troubled me. I
wanted to find out the truth.
One of my professors mentioned
calling Jim Conley, the
Institutional Maintenance
Superintendent. After playing
phone tag for several weeks, dur-
ing the time in which I called five
other people who are connected
with University's maintenance, I
finally got connected with Mr.
Conley and set up an interview.
Despite popular opinion, Mr.
Conley informed me that recy-
cling does occur.
Where is it being collected? As
for the buildings, recycling is col-
lected in boxes on every floor and
outside the buildings in the large
white drums. In each classroom,
there are blue recycling contain-
ers. Inside of Gemmell there are
recycling boxes on the floors as
well as cardboard and glass/plas-
tic recycling dumpsters outside.
Also, there are recycling boxes

Emerick responds to Coulter's rebuttle
The following letter was edited for
length.
Dear Madam Editor:
A grave but pronounced lack of
awareness, plus gross misinfor-
mation, was the basis for Gabe
Coulter's "response" to my earlier
letter.
1 had written to call attention to
the demonic and unconscionable
readiness, of an unelected and
appointed administration, to shtwt
down or risk an accidental drown-
ing of a crowded airliner.
Consideration of such a horren-
dous destruction of hundreds of
innocent lives for any "reason,"
suspicion of evil intent or error by
one's own "leaders," is criminal
madness. And for what purpose?
To conceivably save the necks of
those same unscrupulous mad-
men, or for goodness knows what,
if anything.
Coulter simplisticly assumed,
despite the evidence, that a milita-
rized war-minded administration,
is using Air Force fighter planes
to frighten off the birds over the
cities they patrol. Even Coulter
clearly admitted that those pilots
were advised to be prepared to
shoot down any plane when so
ordered from above.
The record is clear. A private
plane was shot down, with loss of
life over Peru when clearance was
authorized by a uncertain US Air
Force pilot. US fighter pilots
recklessly flew low over an Italian
ski slope and killed dozens of
helpless tourists. Recently a US

crashed and downed a large US
spy plane over their territory,
resulting in a major despute.
Next year arms expenditures
will exceed those for all nations
on the planet. US military bases,
more than 800 in all, are implant-
ed on more than 80 nations, five
continents and eight seas and
oceans. Our powerful nation,
unchallenged by any other, hears
"leaders," politicians, corporate
promoters and media consistently
threaten us with exaggerated
imminent dangers.
Coulter, without questions or
concerns, easily accepts the
superficial go-along, uncritical
coverage of issues and events
simply as provided by the admin-
istration, the military and a corpo-
rate/media world interested only
in growing profit margins.
Coulter failed to comprehend
my reference to "patrioteering."
In short, a reference to the pre-
tense, use of the word as a club, to
wage patriotic aggression and
cheap efforts to promote the word
without significance.

Also if you were to look at Mrs.
Wilson's day calendar, you would
see that it is full with other outside
commitments, but she still has
time for everyone. Mrs. Wilson
also knows what it means to go
the "extra mile" for her students.
This semester a student needed a
class to graduate and she took him
on as a independent study student.
At the end of this semester Mrs.
Wilson will be retiring. This is the
best way I know to pay homage to
a legacy that I hope will continue
in the Communication
Department (and will be replicat-
ed in other departments) long
after Mary Wilson has left this

So, who recycles? "The best
recyclers are the students in the
dormitories," replied Jim Conley.
How much do we spend on recy-
cling? The University spends
approximately $40,000 per year to
eliminate waste.
How much do we recycle? Last
year, 6.35 tons of ferrous and non-
ferrous scrap metal (recycled by
the Facilities Management
Department), 84.6 tons of card-
board and paper, and 2.16 toils of
glass and cans were c<^llected
throughout the entire campus for
recycling.
Where does it go? The
University pays to have the recy-
cling sent to Leeper landfill.
Is the garbage being combined
with recycling? Jim Conley says
that this should not occur.
However, "I can't say that it does-
n't happen. It is up to the individ-
ual to make the decision where
they put it (after they have collect-
ed it)." He adds, "If it is actually
occurring, students should report
any individuals seen collecting
recycled materials with regular
garbage."
What can I recycle? Everyone
can recycle most types and colors
of paper: like magazines, phone
books, and paperback books; all
rinsed plastic and glass bottles,
cartons and jars: like shampoo,
milk gallons, and juice cartons; all
aluminum and bimetal cans: like
soft drink cans, wire hangers, and
empty aerosol hairspray cans.
I can only hope that everyone
understands what is going on at
the University for recycling. Jim
Conley adds that we "only can be
successful if everyone participates
and gives meaningful endeavors
to support the University and help
the planet."
For questions on the
University's recycling policy or to
report collection problems, stu-
dents can call Jim Conley at 393-

Faculty member writes concerning Dixon ratings
Dear Editor,
This letter is written for all the outstanding administra-
tors, faculty, coaches, staff, and student athletes who have
been associated with the outstanding success that the
Clarion University intercollegiate teams have had over the
history of the intercollegiate athletic department at Clarion
University.
Last semester I was elected chairman of the temporary
associate athletic director search committee by the health
and physical education department. It was the most painful
search committee that I ever served on at Clarion
University in my twenty-eight years.
The major issue that was brought to my attention as chair
of the temporary associate athletic director search commit-
tee is that our intercollegiate athletic program has been
ranked 10 or 11 over the past five years in the Dixon Cup
ranking. (The F. Eugene Dixon Trophy is awarded by the
PSAC to the member institution that earns the best overall
finish in conference championships and/or regular season
play. During the course of the academic year, points are
awarded based on an institution's finish in the 22 confer-
ence sports. Only a school's 12 best finishes, in six men's
and in six women's varsity sports are used in the final cal-
culation of the Dixon Trophy standings. The Dixon Trophy
is named in honor of F. Eugene Dixon, Jr., former chairman
of the state system of higher education's board of gover-
nor's.)
When you consider the facts that #13 Mansfield and #14
Cheyney do not have the student population to be compet-
itive in the Dixon Cup rankings. Clarion University, in the
past five years, is competing for last place or second to last
place in the Dixon Cup rankings.
As a former coarch and chairman of the health and phys-
ical education deparment, these rankings are unacceptable
to me, and I wrote a letter on January 16, 2(X)2 to the chair
of the athletic sub committee of the faculty senate and sug-
gested some possible athletic sub committee goals for
2002.
Have Athletic Sub committee develop a plan to help:
1.) Educate coaches and fund raisers about NCAA
Violations.
2.) Have Athletic Sub committee develop a plan to help
improve student athelete graduation rates at Clarion
University.
3.) Have Athletic Sub committe develop a plan to help ath-
letic department win the Dixon trophy and the Sears Cup
for Clarion University.
4.) Have Athletic Sub committee develop a plan to have
student athletes evaluate the coaches and athletic directors.
5.) Have Athletic Sub committee develop a plan to have
coaches evaluate the athletic directors. To this date, I never
received any written response from anyone about to my
possible athletic sub committee goals for 2002.
I sent our athletic director and appropriate administrators
a letter April 10, 2002, recommending that the athletic sub
committee of the faculty senate study the problem of our
intercollegiate athletic program being ranked 10 or 11 over
the past five years in the Dixon Cup rankings. To this date
I have not received any correspondence from our athletic
director or administration.
I believe Clarion University has been ranked 10 or 11 for
the past five years in the Dixon Cup because of the follow-
ing reasons:
1.) All coaches at Clarion University are on a one-year con-
tract. If the coaches have a bad sea.son or if a student ath-
lete or parent is critical of the coach, they could face possi-
ble termination of their contract. Coaches are living on the
edge, and if they are not successful there is no security or
loyalty and they may not have a job from year to year. "If
you give no loyalty, don't expect any loyalty back " I
believe that is one of the main reasons for the decline in our
athletic program over the past five years at Clarion
University.
2.) One of the possible ways to give security and loyalty to
our coaches is to hire them as teacher-coaches and full-time
faculty, which at the end of five years the coaches would
have tenure and have some security and loyalty to Clarion
University. For many years our entire health and physical
education department were all teacher-coaches and had
eight nationally ranked programs.
3.) Another possible solution is for the administration to
give the coaches multiple year contracts, just like the pres-
ident of Clarion University has. The main reason I would
like the administration to give the coaches some loyalty
and security is because it will supply some continuity to the
coaching staff and thus the student-athletes will be more
confident that the coaches who recruit them will be here to
coach them in the future.
If you have any comments to help improve the Clarion
University Athletic Department please e-mail me at
nbaschnagel@clarion.edu, call me at 393-2248 or write a
Letter to the Editor.
Thank you!
Sincerly,
Norbert A. Baschnagel
Many of you may
disagree with me about
the Weekend
Programming
Inititative. 99
-Ben Chervenak
otme^nt Senate rf^ee/deftt^ Fot^'am^
Ben Ci^f^i^mi
'9.
As my Presidency ends, I can't
help but think of what has hap-
pened not only this year, but of
what has happened throughout
my entire involvement with
Student Senate. First, and fore-
most, I would like to say that I am
extremely proud of the 2001-2002
Student Senate. They have
worked very hard to be where we
all stand today. Their hard work,
dedication, and leadership skills
have exceeded my highest expec-
tations. Throughout this year, I
asked and expected a lot from the
Senators, especially in regards to
the Weekend Programming
Initiative, and although some-
times we may have let things slip,
I feel that the senate preformed
spectacularly. From here, I see
only improvement and further
success.
With the newly announced
restructuring of the University
Affairs department, we are all
faced with a sundry of feelings
regarding this matter. People gen-
erally don't respond well to
change, new advisors, new
offices, new procedures, etc, but I
have faith that these changes will
be effective and eventually will be
well received by students, faculty,
and administration. I know that
things will not always be perfect,
especially in the beginning, but
imperfections can be fixed over
time, with hard work, research,
and dedication. There is not a
doubt in my mind that student
organizations, faculty, and admin-
istration will all work through
such changes as best that they can
to make this University the best
that it can be.
Many of you may disagree with
me about the Weekend
Programming Initiative. You may
not think it is a good idea, but I
am hoping that it stays in effect
for longer than just next year. The
purpose behind the initiative is
not to hassle or harass campus
organizations, it is to encourage
weekend activities so as to pre-
vent students from leaving every
weekend. Also, when the idea
came about, it seemed to be a
good way to give alternative
opportunities for students who
would like to participate in uni-
versity sponsored events. Lately,
I have heard a lot of complaints in
regards to senate's participation in
events. "If the senate is not con-
stantly supporting the Weekend
Programming events, why then do
we have to?" My response to that,
I really don't know how to force
20 students to go to events. They
too are busy and should not nec-
essarily have to give up every
weekend so that an opportunity is
offered to an entire campus. If
senators did not attend your orga-
nization's weekend program, I
give you my sincere apology. I am
extremely pleased with this year's
senate and their willingness to
tackle such a large program while
also tackling life in general. As
with anything new, there are
glitches to be fixed. Senate is
working hard to lessen the prob-
lems and increase the effective-
ness of the program. If you or
your organization has sugges-
tions, senate will gladly accept
and try to implement them.
Student Senate is the voice of the
entire student body, your opinion
matters, that is why Senators are
elected by the students.
Continuing, two really big things
happend with senate. The begin-
ning of the restructuring of the
student affairs division as well as
the Weekend Programming
Initiative. Maybe to some, these
things do not seem greatly signif-
icant, but the work that has gone
into these tasks is not apparent to
someone who is not directly
involved. I hope that you will take
a minute to think about how much
time and hard work goes into
implementing a new program.
To the entire 2001-2002 Clarion
University Student Senate, 1 thank
you for all of your hard work and
dedication this past year. You
have done an awesome job, and 1
can't thank you enough for all of
the time and effort that you have
given to improve our campus.
For everyone who has read this,
as well as my other articles: thank
you. You are the students, faculty,
and administrators who care
about the future and further
improvement of this university. I
thank everyone, not only those
who have worked with me, but
also those who have challenged
me. Every one of you have made
me a stronger individual, and you
have made my college experience
an incredibly successful one.

Social Security
identification numbers
may not be so secure
by Angela Bautista
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Many students have won-
dered why their social security
numbers appear on their identi-
fication cards or even act as
their identification numbers.
If the card is ever lost, it can
be very scary to think about
what someone might do with
one's social security number.
According to Dr. Barry
Morris, director of housing, he
said that the food service at
Clarion University wanted it
on the card.
The main reason was because
many students cannot remem-
ber their social security num-
ber, and if they have a meal
plan it is much easier to look
their number up on the identifi-
cation card.
Also, many students' identifi-
cation card may not work when
being swiped, so by having the
social security number on the
card, it can help the student
through the line faster.
"It is like a double check sys-
tem," said Morris.
The computer system that
Clarion University first used
when issuing the identification
cards required that the social
security number appear on the
identification card.
Because of this system, it
was difficult to have the social
security number removed from
the card.
Due to the new software that
Clarion University will be
using, the social security num-
ber does not need to be present
on the identification card.
At first, the University was
reluctant to take the social
security number off of the
card. It would cost too much
money to change the current
system.
For years, nobody thought
much about having a social
security number on the identi-
fication card. However, that
will soon change. In the near
future, social security numbers
will not appear on identifica-
tion cards.
Many students have com-
plained about their social secu-
rity number on their identifica-
tion card in case it was ever
misplaced.
According the Family
Educational and Privacy
Rights Act of 1974, it is legal
for university employees to
have access to students' social
security numbers. Therefore, it
can be placed on identification
cards because it is in fact an
identification number.
Because social security num-
bers can be used for so many
things today, it is dangerous to
have the number on identifica-
tion cards.
In the future, identification
cards will be able to be used at
many more places.
Some places include vending
machines, coffee machines,
sports events, and even off-
campus. It is not definite when
this will be implemented.
Currently, students can
request that their social securi-
ty numbers not be used as their
identification numbers.
Students must go to the
Registrar's Office and fill out
the appropriate paper work.
There, the Registrar's Office
will assign the student a new
number.

New ROTC program available
for CUP students
by Ethan Pascoe
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Indiana University of Pennsylvania (lUP)
Army ROTC is offering a new program for the stu-
dents of Clarion University. The objective of the pro-
gram is to teach leadership skills to undergraduate
students.
The program is available for juniors and seniors.
The program works as follows: once a week, stu-
dents will attend an evening seminar at lUP their
remaining two years. The summer between their
junior and senior year, students will attend a four-
week training camp.
When students complete their bachelor's degree,
they will become an officer in the Aimy. They then
have the choice to join the National Guard, the Aimy
Reserve, or enter into active duty.
"As officers in the Army, students will learn valu-
able leadership qualities that they can bring to places
of employment in civilian life," said Army Captain
Bart Wagner.
Besides great leadership training, the new program
offers some rewarding benefits to students. Students
who eiiroll in the program will receive 100 percent
paid tuition for their junior and senior years. Also,
students will be eligible to receive an additional
monthly income of $1,200 for their final two years at
Clarion.
Two students, Greg McElwain and Brad Schake,
are the first from Clarion Unixersity to participate in
the program. Both are in their junior year, and have
decided to enter the National Guard.
After graduation, they will serve one weekend a
month plus an additional two weeks during the sum-
mer.
The Army is hoping to expand its ROTC program
to include more Clarion University students.
For more information, contact Wagner at 1-800-

Student Senate
Final Senate meeting welcomes new members
by Robyn Hutter
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Nearly all members of the
Clarion University Student Senate
shared sentiments in the begin-
ning of Monday night's meeting.
Student Senate held its last meet-
ing of the 2001-2002 school year,
welcomed new members to
Senate, and said good-bye to all
its graduating seniors.
Student Senate President Ben
Chervenak began the President's
report by reflecting on his past
year with the Student Senate.
He said, "It's been an amazing
year for me. The Senate has been
more than great to work with. I
have some really good friends
here. The Senate has been my life
for three years, and I don't regret
one bit. I will never ever regret
the time I put in here."
President Chervenak awarded
Mr. Harry Tripp, Student Senate
advisor, with the Curtis Wassink
award. President Chervenak also
awarded Mr. Lee Krull, Business
Manager, and Mr. David Tomeo,
director of Gemmell Student
Complex, with the Presidential
Golden Gavel Awards.
"I am presenting it to two peo-
ple because they equally deserve
it for all the hard work they have
done for me and the advice
they've given me over the year,"
said President Chervenak.
Student Senate Vice President
Missy Gring continued the meet-
ing's sentimental tone during her
report by thanking the Student
Senate.
"I want to thank everyone for
giving me the opportunity to be
Vice President this year. We've
had a great year. I appreciate
everything that everyone's done.
Nobody could have done any bet-
ter," said Vice President Gring.
In other business. Treasurer Tom
CIopp, chair of the
Appropriations Committee,
moved to allocate $2,300.50 from
the Supplemental Account to the
Special Libraries Association for
their 2001-2002 National
Conference.
Three members of the
Association plan to attend the
mid-summer conference, which
the organization has attencted in
the past.
Student Senate passed the
motion 20-0-0.
Treasurer CIopp also moved to
allocate $475 from the Capital
Account to Clarion University
Cheerleading for the purchase of
new uniforms.
The Cheerleading Team is
expanding to 16 members in the
fall; however, the team is only
equipped with 13 uniforms. In
order to suit all the che^leaders
this fall, the team must purchase 3
new uniforms.
Senate passed the motion 18-2-
0.
During the Executive
Committee Report, President
Chervenak announced the results
of the student body poll given
during Senate Elections last
week.
On the ballot, students were
asked whether or not they would
want the Credit Union to move
into the Gemmell Weight Room.
The majority vote was yes.
Currently, the Credit Union is
looking to move into a larger
space, but they also want to serve
Clarion University students. The
Credit Union plans to occupy the
weight room space until they gain
enough members to move off
campus.
Once off campus, the Credit
Union plans to set up a smallo-
ofTice on campus to serve stu-
dents.
Many senators wondered if stu-
dent voters completely under-
stood what they were voting for. It
is possible that students were
unaware that something else
could occupy the Gemmell
Weight Room space besides the
Credit Union.
In the past, the Senate had dis-

cussed the idea of using the space
as a game room. However, previ-
ous attempts to run a game room
have only resulted in money loss.
The Credit Union's occupancy in
the weight room space is on a
lease basis; therefore, the Clarion
Student Association (CSA) will
not lose money due to the change.
The Credit Union will offer stu-
dents benefits like free ATM
machine use, free checking, loans,
and union member voting rights.
President Chervenak moved to
allow the Credit Union to move
into the Gemmell Student
Complex.
The Student Senate passed the
motion 14-6-0.
Treasurer CIopp, during
Unfinished Business, moved to
bring the 2002-2003 budget pro-
posal back to the table.
After no discussion, Treasurer
CIopp moved to approve the CSA
Budget.
Senate passed the motion 20-0-
0. The proposal will be sent to
Clarion University President Dr.
E)iane Reinhard.
Treasurer CIopp announced the
following account balances:
Capital, $114,274; Large Item
Capital, $174,202; Supplemental,
$9,326; and Supplemental
Reserve. $23,066.33.
During the New Business por-
tion of the meeting, the Student
Senate changed gears, in order to
welcome its new members to the
table and appoint its new leaders.
New Business began with the
new senators accepting the oath
of office and nominating candi-
dates for President, Vice
President, Treasurer and
Parliamentarian.
Candidates were nominated by
either fellow Senate members or
by themselves. Each election
began with a short speech plat-
form in which each nominee was
allowed one to two minutes to
introduce him or herself.
The platform was followed by a
question and answer session
where old or new senators could
pose questions for all the candi-
dates to answer. Each nominee
was then given a few minutes for
a closing speech. Each election
ended with a secret ballot vote by
all the new members of the
Student Senate.
Senator Michael Phillips was
elected as the 2002-2003 Student
Senate President. Phillips is a
junior finance major and the
President of Kappa Delta Rho.
Senator Jackie Collier was elect-
ed the 2002-2003 Student Senate
Vice President. Collier is a junior
elementary and special education
major and the Vice President of
Interhall Council.
Senator Rebecca Emert, by vote
of acclamation, was elected the
2002-2003 Student Senate
Treasurer. Emert is a junior ele-
mentary and special education
major.
Senator Amy Cohen was elect-
ed the 2002-2003 Student Senate
Parliamentarian. Cohen is a junior
political science major and a
member of Delta Phi Epsilon.
President Chervenak ended the
iinai meeting with words of
encouragement for the newly
seated Senate.
"Be the leaders 1 know you guvs
can be," Chervenak said.

Gramp trades places with CUP President for the day
by Justin Young
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Peter Gramp, a senior molecu-
lar biology major, won the
Golden Eagle Ambassador raffle,
enabling him to switch places
with Clarion University
President Dr. Diane L. Reinhard,
for one day
Gramp was handed the respon-
sibility of running Clarion's cam-
pus for a day, while Reinhard
attended a couple of Gramp's
classes.
Gramp was surprised at all the
work that goes into overseeing
the campus.
"I was not aware of all the
effort and work that goes into
maintaining and growing the uni-
versity. It is one thing to keep it
going and another to make it
grow," said Gramp.
Gramp's day began at 8:30 a.m.
and included meeting concerning
everything from the school's
budget to academics and athlet-
ics. The day concluded at the
President's Residence where he
joined Reinhard for dinner,
Reinhard spent the day attending
Gramp's Pathogenic
Microbiology and Biotechnology
classes.
Gramp is very happy he chose
Clarion after attending two pre-
vious schools.
"Clarion's molecular biology
program is listed on national
charts," he explains. "I took mol-
ecular biology courses during my
junior year considered capstone
courses on other campuses. I
took the equivalent of graduate
level courses during my senior
year.
Shortly after arriving on
Clarion's campus, Gramp was
diagnosed with dyslexia. He
credits the student support ser-
vices and academic support ser-
vices for "allowing me to realize
my potential and start me on a
journey to academic excellence."
"Clarion focuses on the stu-
dents," said Gramp. "The fact
that this day happened shows that
the president wants to become
one and the same with the stu-
dent body."
Gramp also said that he was
humbled and in awe of the work
done behind the scenes to main-
tain the university.
Gramp will graduate in May
and is waiting acceptance to
graduate school. He would like
to become a college professor.

Editor
According to Clarion University

vSenate meeting, two new deans

Reber will begin July 8, 2002 as
the Executive Dean of Clarion
University Venango Campus.
In other business, Dr.
Grunenwald said academic deans
are currently reviewing the past
year, including the main accom-
plishments of each department.
On behalf of the Committee on
Committee and Rules (CCR), Dr.
Ralph Leary announced the fol-
lowing results of last Wednesday's
Faculty Senate elections: Dr. John
Heard, Janet Knepper, Dr. Todd
Lavin, Jamie Phillips, Dr. Vince
Spina, Dr. Barry Sweet, Jeanne
Vilberg, and Kelly Lander
(Venango campus representative).
Dr. Sue Hilton has been named
chair, Dr. Hallie Savage has been
named vice chair, and Dr. Brent
Register has been named secretary
for the 2002-2003 academic year.
Dr. Scott Kuehn, chair of the
Association of Pennsylvania State

(APSCUF) Committee, said elec-
tions for the two faculty represen-
tatives on the Presidential Search
Committee are scheduled for
Tuesday, May 7 from 9:30 a.m.-

Dr. Greg Clary said the retire-
ment reception is Wednesday,
May 8 at 4:00 p.m. in Moore Hall;
11 faculty members will be hon-
ored.
Current Faculty Senators
addressed three issues regarding
the Senate committee structure.
Dr. Anad Rao mentioned the fol-
lowing concerns: some commit-
tees are underutilized; faculty
members already serve on a num-
ber of committees; and there
could be serious changes by

Campus.
restructuring the current commit-
tees.
Senators also reviewed the cur-
rent election process. They talked
about having a representative
from each department or college.
However, Dr. Leary said that
would be like each member of
Faculty Senate was representing a
constituency, which, "would
change the character of what this
body is supposed to be about."
Dr. Rao ended the final meeting
by thanking Faculty Senators, the
Policy Committee in particular.

Grunenwald, and student helpers

stages a strong production of a
William Shakespeare play.
Rob Bullington, assistant pro-
fessor of speech communica-
tion and theatre, is a believer
in the continuing power of
these classic stories.
Bullington, who has directed
all of Clarion's Shakespeare
offerings since joining the
faculty in 1995, backs up this
belief by both teaching and
learning at Shakespeare &
Company, Lenox, Mass. He
spent January teaching for
what is considered the leading
training, education, and per-
formance company of its type
in the United States.
"I was proud to be a part of
teaching the first workshop at
Shakespeare & Company's
new property," says
Bullington. "People who take
the month-long, intensive
classes are students finishing
graduate school, young pro-
fessional actors, established
professional actors, college
professors, people who own
theatres, writers and directors,
and Shakespeare scholars."
The month-long intensive
classes are held six days a
week. 8 a.m. -10 p.m., to
immerse the participants in
text analysis, voice, move-
ment, Elizabethan dance,
Alexander Technique, stage
fight, exploration of the
actor/audience relationship,
sonnet work, scene work, and
in-depth discussions about the
function of the theatre and the
role of the actor in today's
world. Among the profession-
al actors attracted to the class-
es are Keanu Reeves. Raquel
Welsch, Richard Dreyfuss,
and Alicia Silverstone.
Bullington brings his
Shakespeare & Company
experiences back to his class-
room and the stage at Clarion
University. He directed
Shakespeare's "The Winter's
Tale," which ran April 23-27
here at Clarion
University.
"What I've learned changes
the way I teach for the better,"
says Bullington. "I like the
teacher that I am becoming.
"Shakespeare & Company's
approach is unique. It is not
based on external technique.
Their mission is to find
Shakespeare through the lan-
guage. Much what they do is
geared to helping today's
Shakespeare &
Company !y approach is
unique. It is not based

Their mission is to find
Shakespeare through the
language. 99
-Rob Bullington
actor discover how language
was used 400 years ago. At
that time, people lived
through their language while
today's language is discon-
nected from emotions."
Bullington explains that
Elizabethan people viewed the
world and the universe
through the Great Chain of
Being. They believed every-
thing from hell to heaven was
linked and orderly, with bal-
ance and harmony. They also
had the same idea about their
bodies, believing them made
up of the four elements —
earth, air, water, and fire;
along with the four humors —
choler. blood, phlegm, and
melancholy, which corre-
sponded with the four ele-
ments. They believed that if
they had too much or not
enough of any of these ele-
ments that they were ill. Thus,
their language tied into their
bodies.
"I think this idea of the
Elizabethan world picture is
rooted deeply in Shakespeare
plays," says Bullington. "I
also believe it is the reason
that his plays, when staged in
modern settings, are often
unsuccessful because of this
odd disparity."
From his first experiences
with Shakespeare & Company,
Bullington developed the
"Playing Shakespeare" course
for Clarion University.
"Even students who are new
to Shakespeare are able to
grasp that language lives in
the body," he says. "They
begin to experience the body
as a tiny microcosm of the
universe, just as the
Elizabethans did. The work
helps the actors understand
that the text lives in their bod-
ies as well as in their minds."
Bullington's first visit to
Shakespeare & Company was
a month-long workshop in
1994. In 1998, Bullington
attended additional workshops
and was invited to complete
training to be part of the fac-
ulty, returning twice more as a
faculty trainee. "It reminds me
of an apprenticeship," he
recalled. "1 was observed in
the classroom and the
observers decide when you are
ready to be a part of the facul-
ty"
He now has junior faculty
ranking, increasing his teach-
ing responsibilities during the
intensive workshops.
Shakespeare & Company has
62 paid faculty members, who
teach on a rotating basis,
along with unpaid junior fac-
ulty members such as
Bullington.

Zinsmeister of McKees Rocks
is currently studying at
Shakespeare & Company. "He
is there in a work study posi-
tion working with props and
scenery," says BuUington. "It is
the first time I've had a former
student go on to participate at
Shakespeare & Company. He
will stay through June to do the
summer intensive workshops."
Shakespeare & Company is
the fulfillment of the dreams of
Tina Packer, a successful Royal
Shakespeare Company actor,
who also performed in other
acting venues including TV's
"Dr. Who." She wanted to start
her own Shakespeare company
in America and selected
Massachusetts.
Obtaining several grants, the
company's first home in 1978
was in Edith Wharton's man-
sion, known as The Mount. The
lease on that property ended
two years ago, but the cornpany
purchased nearby property and
raised money to renovate the
existing buildings. They plan to

used to stage Shakespeare's
plays in an authentic setting.
Shakespeare & Company also
has a high school educational
outreach program. BuUington
says he eventually wants to
start a similar program with
high schools in the Clarion
area.
For now, he is concentrating
on his college classes and a
belief that Shakespearian
knowledge and skills will help

"Shakespeare is not going

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot finally sees the light of day
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
ARTIST/ ALBUM: Wilco, Yankee
Hotel Foxtrot
FOR FANS OF: Wayward
pop/rock nuggets that aren't afraid
to show their true emotions, be
they soft or jagged.
FOR FURTHER LISTENING:
Wilco's Summerteeth, play Tom
Petty 's Damn The Torpedoes at the
same time as Radiohead's OK
Computer.
There's a lot of praise I could
shower down upon this album. I
could sit here and tell you how it's
a beacon of light and hope, a truth-
ful, honest rock album that really
doesn't push musical boundaries so
much as it pushes your boundaries;
how it's a slice of Americana (both
poignant and resentful) so pure it
can break even the hardest of cyn-
ics; how just when you think
you've got the album pinned down,
it slips away from your grasp, shift-
ing like a chimera into a dazzling
new permutation.
I can (and will) say all these
things, but this album is best
explained by this story that hap-
pened last week, while playing
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The door to
my room was open, and one of my
housemates walked in, intrigued by
what he heard.
"Hey, what is this you're listening
to
9"
"Actually, it's the same album
I've been listening to the last few
times you've asked over the week -
the new Wilco."
"Wow, every single time I hear
something from this album, it's
completely different from what I
heard before."
He's right. From the creaking
opener "1 Am Trying To Break
Your Heart" (which feels like a
once-majestic palace now empty of
residents, with only solitary ghosts
to roam it) to the ice-frosted crystal
fragility of the closing
"Reservations," Yankee Hotel
Foxtrot refuses to be categorized
by genre restrictions. There are
moments of guitar/synth abstract-
ness, but this is not post-rock.
There's a slide guitar and a twang
spattered here and there, but this is
not country. A raw, gritty riff pops
up now and then, but run o' the mill
rock this isn't. A piano ballad here
and there, but this is not a maudlin
Elton John album - you get the pic-
ture.
Wilco drifts away from the har-
monic pop ditties and clear-cut pro-
duction of Summerteeth here, not
to mention the bluesy Stones swag-
ger and alt-country lament of AM
and Being There, and the twang of
Uncle Tupelo, the band whose
implosion thrust Wilco frontman
Jeff Tweedy into his current gig.
The turmoil surrounding this
album has alreadv reached leg-

endary status, and the album's only
been out for a little over a week.
Keyboardist/guitarist/jack-of-all-
trades Jay Bennett amiably left the
group after recording was finished,
and of course there is the small
matter of Wilco being canned over
this album.
Reprise execs found the frayed
edges of YHF too "weird," so
Wilco, refusing to change one note
of music, bought the album from
the label, and played Robin Hood
to their fans, streaming the album
for free on their website,
www.wilcoworld.net. Nonesuch
eventually picked up the group,
and by the time YHF was released
last week, every single major
music publication in the land had
published a story concerning the
steadfast little band that could. The
intense attention this album has
garnered is making Reprise execs
kick themselves, I'm sure. As
Tweedy sings in the opening cut,
"What was I thinking when I let go
of you?"
So how "weird" is this album?
Well, I certainly couldn't imagine
the Dust Bowl desolation of
"Radio Cure" nestled among
Smash Mouth and Creed on radio
playlists, but that's only an indica-
tion of the public's narrow-mind-
edness, not the music itself.
There's nothing difficult or com-
plex to the point of being obtuse on
YHF - you just have to have the
patience and the will to open your-
self completely to these songs, and
to let them fill you up with their
pathos, pain, pleasure and peace.
Moments like "Radio Cure" and
the craggy, quiet turmoil of "Ashes
Of American Flags" are what
doomed this album to limbo for so
long, but are ultimately some of the
most rewarding segments. Both
are really simple songs at heart, but
under the careful tweaking of pro-
ducer Jim O'Rourke, either float
through a haze of circuit-guided
regret ("Radio Cure") or crescendo
from gentle pianos and wind-tun-
nel atmospherics to a chaotic outro
("Ashes Of..."). Most people will
ignore these moments on purpose;
they are pure emotion set to music,
and emotions run from the hills of
ecstasy to the valleys of depression
- most people aren't willing to
embrace the latter, even if cathartic
qualities accompany it.
When Tweedy 's voice cracks
while singing "Picking apples for
the kings and queens of things I've
never seen" on "Radio Cure," it's
the answer to the question he poses
later, with "I wonder whv we listen
to poets/When nobody gives a
f**k." Those that are listening do
care, Jeff.
Even songs that begin as one
thing progress into something
K//F pulls no punches in its final
moments, as "Pot Kettle Black"
kicks off the closing suite of the
songs. The information-age coun-
try of "Pot Kettle Black" is accen-
much more. "War On War" begins tuated by a driving rhythm and an

It's lights, camera and squirrels with screenplays
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer
A while back, I wrote a novel. It is
not an important novel, the kind that
explores, with nuance and subtlety, the
complexities of the human condition.
It's a novel where a guy falls face-first
onto a toad, which squirts him with a
chemical that causes him to believe his
dog is Elizabeth Dole.
Incredibly, my novel got made into a
movie. I'm still not sure how this hap-
pened. Maybe a studio executive fell
onto a toad. All I know is, a vast army
of movie people came from California
to Miami and spent several months,
and many millions of dollars, doing
what people do when they make a
movie, which is, most of the time,
nothing.
Every time I went to the movie set,
there'd be hundreds of people standing
around, waiting, often for hours, while
the director, Barry Sonnenfeld, made
artistic decisions such as: Should the
goat urinate NEAR the actor's shoe?
Or actually ON the actor's shoe? (In
addition to the toad, the plot involves
goats.)
But eventually they finished the
movie, and they invited me and my
wife out to attend the premiere in
Hollywood. This precipitated the
biggest crisis the world has faced since
the Cold War, which was: What should
my wife wear? She was DEEPLY con-
cerned about this. I, personally, con-
sider my wife to be a hot babe, but
SHE was afraid that, if there were
glamorous Hollywood starlets at the
premiere, and she wore the wrong
dress, she would be mistaken for an
escaped cow and taken into captivity. I
am not exaggerating when I say that
my wife asked my opinion on what she
should wear to the premiere, with
increasing frequency, for three straight
weeks.
True anecdote: Late one night I was
in bed, sound asleep, when the bed-
room lights came on. I sat up, blink-
ing, unable to see clearly because of
the brightness and the fact that I am
virtually blind without corrective lens-
es. There, floating in front of me, were
two mysterious dark blobs, looking
like twin demon spirits come to take
my soul.
"Which dress do you think is bet-
ter?" said my wife's voice.
"This one?" The left blob jiggled.
"Or this one?" The right blob jiggled.
"I don't KNOW," I said.
"But just tell me what you THINK,"
she demanded.
"OK," I said, pointing at a blob,
"that one."
"You don't think that's too conserv-
ative?" she said.
"OK," I said, pointing to the other
blob. "That one."
"You don't think that's too flashy?"
she said.
"I DON'T KNOW!" I said.
"Well just tell me what you THINK,"
she said.
And so it went, into the night, an
insane woman demanding wardrobe
advice from a blind man with the fash-
ion sense of a doorstop.
Eventually, somehow, she chose a
dress, and we flew to Los Angeles,
heart of the film world, where every
life form you encounter, including
squirrels, is writing a screenplay. The
studio sent a major limousine, which
took us to a movie theater with a big
red carpet outside and hundreds of
screaming fans, who, when we
emerged from the limousine, immedi-
ately stopped screaming. They
resumed when some actual movie stars
appeared, including Will Smith, who is
not in the movie but who was accom-
panied by a bodyguard so large that
every now and then he paused to brush
commercial aircraft out of his hair.
FASHION NOTE: My wife looked
very nice. On the other hand, I was the
only male there wearing a suit. It turns
out that, in the movie industry, males
who wear suits are low-level subordi-
nates, restroom attendants, etc. The
greater the stature of a film-industry
male, the less formal is his attire. I
imagine Steven Spielberg goes to pre-
mieres in his bathrobe.
Anyway, after the red carpet we all
went into the theater and watched the
movie, which was well received by the
audience. (Of course, most of the audi-
ence was in it.) I myself thought the
movie came out fine, although it did
tamper with my artistic vision in cer-
tain areas, the main one being that,
instead of Elizabeth Dole, the dog
turns into Martha Stewart.
Afterward they had a nice party
where we met several stars. I got
hugged by the actor and hip-hop artist
Heavy D, who is in the movie. (I told
my son about this, and he said, "Heavy
D hugged YOU?" I took this to mean
that he had either raised his opinion of
me, or lowered his opinion of Heavy
D.)
The next day, we flew back home and
resumed normal life, at least until the
next Academy Awards. Because if this
movie doesn't win for Best Supporting
Toad, those things are FIXED.
The White Stripes' stripped-down sound will rev you up
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
WHO: The White Stripes
ALBUM: White Blood Cells
(2002 V2/Third Man)
FOR FANS OF: Sonic Youth
minus all of Thurston Moore's
goofy pretentiousness, any
music that, by its own being,
changes how we classify
music
Detroit, uh, rockers (though
this can really be a slippery
term) Jack and Meg White are
the entirety of the Stripes.
They may be brother/sister,
they may be man and ex-wife,
but they are definitely up to
something on White Blood
Cells. The album's a trip all
over the rock map, slamming
you in the face with walls of
guitar belying just how many
people are actually in the band
for a while, then soothing you
with bed rest and happy mem-
ories the next. Lather, rinse,
repeat.

say the very least. The album
opens with "Dead Leaves and
the Dirty Ground," featuring
Jack strangling throaty riffs
from his guitar and Meg toss-
ing in just enough drum to
keep the song moving. She's
hardly the kind sleepy classi-
cal drummer that the Rolling
Stones relied on, but by the
same token, she's no Keith
Moon. By the end of
"Leaves," you're ready for just
another noisy punk album,
only to have "Hotel Yorba"
shatter that illusion with its
almost Squirrel Nut Zippers/O
Brother Where Art Thou-like
bouncy guitar old-timey
music. I love it.
The album is one of constant
contrasts, often times turning
back on where it was going to
tell us something in the oppo-
site direction. Case in point:
"I'm Finding It Harder to be a
Gentleman" is a neo-ballad of
just how dead chivalry can be.
It's a nice little plodding piece
that again sets you up for a
few more slow, plodder songs.
Nope - "Fell in Love With a
Girl" is next, ripping your face
off with blistering guitars and
frenetic drumming - all' in just
over a minute and a half. '
Cells's constant phase shift-
ing may seem to make it an
almost unlistenable disc. It
really is anything but. Each
song has some kind of groovy
hook that almost makes you
fiend for the next. I will admit
that after "Little Room" the
album sags a bit for me.
Again, it lulls you into a "can
they keep this up?" sense only
to have "I Think I Smell a Rat"
come along and rock you right
to the foundation. Another
personal favorite is "We're
Going to be Friends," a very
second-grade and calming
look at a boy and girl getting
to know each other.
Much has been written by
lots of people with important
ideas about music telling us all
how rock can be saved. "We
need another Seattle!" some
would say. Others would say
we need a new Beatles. 1 say
they're both right. But as
good as the White Stripes are.
they're only a step towards
this goal. And I'm skeptical of
them because of the very
stripped down line-up they
sport - the only other two-per-
son group I can even remem-
ber at the drop of a hat is/was
Local H who are really more a
guilty pleasure than serious
music. But I digress. Overall,
White Blood Cells will find
whatever anti-music bacteria
in your system and clear it
right up. The replay value is
pretty high, too, but it's a very
mood-driven disc. FINAL
VERDICT: 4 1/4 outta 5.

a monotonous job? Were you born for better things? Don't com-
plain. Keep bringing in the bucks to finance your education. That's
your escape route.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is an 8 - Venture beyond
your old boundaries. If you take the less-traveled route, chances
are you'll find a valuable treasure.
Gemini (May 21 -June 21) - Today is a 6 - You're pretty
good at sticking to a schedule now, so why not review your bud-
get? Any bills you could pay off? That would help a lot.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 7 - Even though
you're under pressure, you have the power to turn things around.
Your friends and your partner provide it, and you do the same for
them.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 5 - Friends want your
attention, but you need to concentrate. A difficult task won't do
itself. Meet with friends tomorrow instead.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 9 - You're under pres-
sure to perform, but no problem - you're brilliant. The admiration of
a person you respect inspires you to great heights.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 7 - You don't want to
turn down a friend's invitation, but it could be smart to do just that.
Stay home and fix up your house. Schedule a date for tomorrow.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is an 8 - Need extra
money? Take on a side job. A co-worker can show you where to
look for extra work. There's no shortage of things to be done.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 5 - You have
options if you're low on cash. Your best bet is to take on more
work. Don't borrow, and forget about playing the lottery.
Capricorn (Dec. 22- Jan. 19) - Today is an 8 - Make special
time for someone you love. Sure, there's more work to be done, but
that's always the case (especially this month). Seize the momerit.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 6 - Loved ones
want your attention, and home is where you'd like to be. Any way
you can arrange it?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is an 8 - Friends offer
practical advice, and you'd be smart to take it. Imagination is your
strong point, not pragmatism. They'll help you achieve your
dreams.

As my last request as your Sports Editor, I ask
for all of Clarion's athletes to continue with the
hard work and dedication that you all have
showed me during these past two years. I have
had the opportunity to meet, watch, and interview
some of the finest competitors and characters that
1 have ever met, and I will miss writing articles
about ail of you. There is something within every
athlete that drives us to the edge and beyond, and
1 only wish for all of you to keep that drive in
mind for the remainder of you collegiate careers.
Best of luck and I will miss all of you!

many sports, the season has
been officially ended for a long
time. With an entire academic

teams (Record 5-8), and the
NCAA D-II East Regionals
(lOK) at Slippery Rock on Nov.
3, where Clarion finished 12th
of 20.
Soccer: The womens soccer
team had a season full of learn-
ing due to this being the first
womens soccer team at Clarion
University. Their overall record
was 1-18, and 0-11 in the PSAC.
With a team full of youth, they
can only improve from this
point and establish a respectable
record.
Volleyball: Led by Ali Graham
and Melanie Bull, the Golden
Eagle womens volley-ball team
concluded a very successful sea-
son posting a 23-16 overall
ranking and a 3-7 mark in the
tough PSAC-West. Clarion fin-
ished fifth in the last regular
season NCAA Division II East
Region poll and just missed
making the NCAA Playoffs. The
23 wins for Clarion were the
Volleyball
1987. The 1988 team also won
23 games. Graham and Bull
were also named second-team
All-PSAC-West.
Womens Swimming and
Diving: The womens swimming
and diving teams had another
outstanding season, with the
best overall percentage record
of all the varsity teams at
Clarion University. The Eagles
had an overall record of 8-1 a
runner-up finish in the PSAC
championship meet, and a sev-
enth place finish at the NCAA
D-II Championships. Amanda
Earnest was named the NCAA
womens "Diver of the Year"
after winining the National title
in both the one and three-meter
boards. There were also eight
other swimmers and divers that
earned All-American status at
the NCAA Div-II champi-
onships by placing within the
top 16 in the nation.
Mens Swimming and Diving:
The mens swimming and diving
teams had another outstanding
season, with the best overall
percentage record of all the var-
sity mens teams at Clarion
University. The Eagles had an
overall record of 7-1 overall, a
runner-up finish in the PSAC
championship meet, and an
eighth place finish at the NCAA
D-II Championships. Shawn
Colten was named the NCAA
mens "Diver of the Year" after
winining the National title in
both the one and three-meter
boards. Seven other swimmers
and divers earned All-American
status at the NCAA Div-II
Championships.
Womens Basketball: The
Golden Eagles finished the sea-
son with a 6-6 mark in the
always tough PSAC-West and a
Football
ifiers Gannon, California,
Shippensburg and Millersville.
The PSAC-West record was
Clarion's best mark since the
1996-97 team also went 6-6
while the 12 wins were the most
for the Golden Eagles since the
1996-97 team also won 12
games. Both Lantz and Cigich
were honored for great seasons
at the end of the year with selec-
tions as second-team all-PSAC-
West members. Lantz ended the
season as Clarion's leading
scorer averaging 17.2 ppg and
7.6 rpg while Cigich added a
team-leading 9.3 rpg to go along
with 12.0 ppg.
Mens Basketball: The Golden
Eagles posted a solid 15-11
overall record and a 7-5 mark in
the competitive PSAC-Western
Division.
The Golden Eagles posted a
number of quality wins during
the season, including an eleven
point victory over NCAA "Final
Four" finisher lUP (82-71), a
61-59 victory over California,
and a 78-74 win over Edinboro,
all of whom tied for first in the
PSAC-West. Clarion also
defeated the PSAC-East regular
season winner West Chester (70-
54), but were beset with injuries
and illnesses during the year
that hit starters and reserves,
making advancement in the
PSAC's and NCAA's very diffi-
cult. The Golden Eagles put
three 1.000 point career scorers
on the court which were seniors
David Shearer, Allen Stevens,
and Steve Serwatka. The
remarkable accomplishment
marked only the 8th time in
PSAC history that three 1.000
career scorers played together in
the same season.
Softball: The Golden Eagle
womens Softball team recently
concluded their 2002 season
with a loss to Lock Haven. The
women had an overall season
record of 7-32 and 4-14 in the
PSAC-West. Despite the sct)res,
the team gained much needed
experienced and many games
were lost in the late inning. The
young team will take this learn-
ing experience into next year's
season and hopefully improve
their record in 2003.
Golf: The mens golf team expe-
rienced an outstanding season,
posting a PSAC championship
gold in the spring season and a
strong record in the fall. Some
of their best overall places
include the Allegheny

was named as the PSAC "Player
of the Year" and PSAC "Rookie
of the Year", while Lefevre was
voted the PSAC "Coach of the
Year" after the team's PSAC
win.

ball team has not yet completed
their season, but are currently
experiencing various streaks of
wins and losses. They are cur-
rently 7-31 overall and 3-15 in
the PSAC-West.
Track and Field: The Golden
Eagle track and field team has
not yet completed their season,
but are on their way to an excit-
ing PSAC meet. Both mens and
womens teams have won or
placed among the top teams at
invitationals that they competed
in so far this season. Strong
field events have contributed to
the teams overall score along
with any wins in the running
events. The team has one more
invite »o attend before the PSAC
and NCAA championships.
Tennis: The womens tennis
team had rough 2001 and 2002

This Saturday was the final
mat(.h of Clarion Women's
Rugby Spring 2002 season.
Clarion finished off its season
with a win against PSU. Penn
State IS a 2000 Division 1
National Champions. They
have a very solid program, and
their h-side is always a compet-
itive match.
PSl dominated the first 15
minutes of the match. They
played a very physical match
and \\ere disrupting Clarion's
offense with good defensive
ruckmg. Around the 10 minute
mark of the first half the PSU
offense broke the Clarion line
and scored with a weak-side
wing play that caught the
Clarion defense by suprise.
PSU would make their conver-
sion kick and it looked as if
Clarion might be in trouble.
PSU lead 7-0 but that was all
the points the PSU squad would
have.
Clarion silenced the PSU
offense with agressive team
defense forcing PSU into sever-
al ball handling errors that
would lead to Clarion's first try
of the day when rookie inside
center Steph Sherant would pick
up an errant PSU pass and fall
into the try zone at the 20
minute mark. Audra Graeser
would make the conversion kick
and even the score at 7-7.
In the second half the Clarion
offense began to open up the
match with some incredible ball
handling. Clarion moved the
ball down field with a great
combination of passing and
rucking. Clarion's ball control
offense would eventually wear
down the PSU side and allow
for Audra Graeser to work the
ball into the try-zone from 1
meter out to put Clarion up 12-

"Inspire Greatness:" Clarion University hosts 2002
Special Olympics Western Spring Sectional meet
by Erin Witner
Clarion Call Sports Wnter
This past weekend, athletes from
the Allegheny-Clarion Valley,
Clarion Area, Clarion-Limestone,
Keystone, North Clarion,
Redbank Valley, and Union areas
traveled to Clarion for the 2002
Special Olympics Western Spring
Sectional. Events were held at the
Tippin Gymnasium on Sunday,
April 28. The weather caused all
events taking place outdoors to be
canceled. This was a huge disap-
pointment for athletes training for
the various field events.
Special Olympics Pennsylvania
(SOPA), is a chapter of Special
Olympics Inc., which provides
year-round athletic training and
athletic competition in over 20
Olympic-type sports for children
and adults with mental retardation
or a closely related developmental
disability. It provides the athletes
with continuing opportunities to
develop physical fitness skills,
express courage, experience joy,
and participate in the sharing of
gifts, skills, and friendship with
their families, other Special
Olympics athletes, and the com-
munity.
Every athlete who competes in
Special Olympics events will com-
pete against athletes of similar
ability, since athletes are placed in
competition divisions according to
previous times or scores, age, and,
where appropriate, gender. Special
Olympics serves the needs of ath-
letes of all ability levels, including
those with more severe mental
retardation or closely related dis-
abilities in addition to mental retar-
dation; and high-functioning ath-
letes who may be able to move
into mainstream sports or partici-
pate in a higher level.
Different events offered for train-
ing and competition or as follows:
alpine skiing, aquatics, athletics.
basketball, bowling, cross-country
skiing, cycling, distance running,
equestrian sports, figure skating,
floor hockey, golf, gymnastics,
power lifting, roller hockey, roller
skating, soccer, softball, speed
skating, tennis, and volleyball.
Every state (Chapter) and
National Special Olympics pro-
gram has its own staff, its own
board of directors, and its own net-
work of area, provincial, and local
programs. The SOPA is a nonprof-
it, tax-exempt organization that
raises the funds through the gen-
erosity of individuals, companies,
and foundations.
SOPA competitions are offered
year-round in 53 local programs
across Pennsylvania. SOPA con-
ducts three statewide competi-
tions: Winter Games, Summer
Games, and Fall Festival Games.
The summer games will be taking
place at Penn State University for
the 15th consecutive year, June 6-
9. Athletes from across the state
will gather for 3 days of competi-
tion in aquatics, athletics, basket-
ball, bowling, equestrian, golf,
gymnastics, softball and tennis.
Friday, Clarion had their own
torch relay to let the town know
the games were on their way.
Anticipating Sunday, athletes were
getting ready to compete in 5 on 5
basketball, 3 on 3 basketball, a
basketball skill test, and aquatics.
Many volunteers showed up to
help out with the event. An esti-
mated 200 athletes were enrolled
in competition.
"Everything went great, actual-
ly better than I hoped for. The
student management team took
care of everything. There were
plenty of volunteers, more than
necessary. Everyone is very
grateful and aprreciative in how
much the university was involved,
"commented competition director
Rich Puhalla.
"Special Olympics is a great and

^y
wonderful opportunity in which
students can connect and hopeful-
ly make someone smile. It is a
good learning experience as well,"
said management team member,
Elizabeth Fairweather.
Special Olympics has a place for
everyone: athletes, families,
coaches, volunteers and donors.
Once you spend a day with the ath-
letes of Special Olympics, you will
come back time after time.
Special Olympics is always look-
ing for volunteers to meet the
expanding and changing needs of
this movement. Get involved, it
doesn't hurt.
According to Amanda Bradley,
this is what a volunteer can do:
"When special people touch our
lives, then suddenly we see how
beautiful and wonderful our world
can really be. They show us that
our special hopes and dreams can
take us far, by helping us look
inward and believe in who we are.
They bless us with their love and
joy through everything they

You really can make a difference.
Special Olympics is sports, com-

that the benefits include not only
fitness coordination and cardiovas-
cular improvements but also confi-

fun. Special Olympics is a worth-
while activity for students to get
involved with on campus.
